Police, Neighbourhood Watch to join forces

COMMUNITY spirit was high on Sunday when Border volunteers turned out to show support for Brave Hearts helping to replant the rose garden at Belvoir Park, Wodonga. Suzy Watson, Jenny Black and Sally Tyrrell were among those who gave their time and effort to achieve the task. And the Border turned on a glorious day with the sun beaming down to ensure an uplifting experience was had by all involved. Report, another TREVOR JACKSON picture – Page 5.

By TREVOR JACKSON WITH police resources pushed to the limit in Victoria, Wodonga residents can rest easy after the announcement this week of the new Wodonga Community Safety Register. The previous register was known as the Wodonga Senior Citizens Register but this initiative is all encompassing with the promise that many more people will be able to access assistance for a variety of reasons. The joint initiative between the Victorian police, Wodonga council and Neighbourhood Watch promises more manpower to cover a wider demographic of the community who may feel vulnerable or have concerns about their welfare regardless of age. Wodonga’s sergeant Larry Goldsworthy said a lack of police resources meant the cur-

rent register wasn’t up to date and had been used for a specific purpose while the new system offered more community support and involvement. “We’re fortunate in Wodonga that by and large if someone sees something happening they’ll report it to police but there are issues around youth and concerns of a night time for those who live by themselves,” he said. “If somebody’s got concerns about their welfare or the security of their premises then hopefully in the fullness of time Neighbourhood Watch will be able to do security audits and make recommendations even if it’s for personal safety or property safety.” Neighbourhood Watch Wodonga state delegate, Barbara Stieber backs the project.

STILL FOR SALE: The Allied Mills building has been for sale for nearly three years. Picture: blair thomson By BLAIR THOMSON THE Allied Mills site in Albury’s Young Street is still without a tenant or developer almost three years since the flour mill closed. Stanley and Martin commercial division manager Kel Barclay said there had been several inquiries into the property, one as recently as three weeks ago, and about six people inspected the buildings, but the site remains up for sale. “It’s a specialised site; you would need to have someone with a big use for it but a lot of the big players

like Bunnings and Aldi and such are already in town,� he said. “You could do office accommodation, or a mix of residential and commercial. “The clearance is there, the property can be sold as is and the buyer could clear it, or it could be price adjusted and cleared.� Albury Council planning director Michael Keys confirmed the buildings and silos could be demolished, with no heritage listing for the site which opened in 1911.

ties that are vulnerable, but there’s also young single parent families. “If you’ve got a young mum that’s had a bad fall or something and she’s got a little baby or toddler, there needs to be someone to help pick up the slack. “It’s going to help the sense of community which is disappearing in places.�

PARTNERSHIP: Sgt Larry Goldsworthy, Barbara Stieber and Cr Mark Byatt.

Helping stop perceptions of danger ASK most people and they will tell you they believe the world, even their own home, is not nearly as safe a place to live as in the past. Ask them why, and the response is nowhere near as certain. The truth is that the perception of danger all around stems from the offering we receive from the daily media. Death, violence and destruction is the daily fare. How often do we see good positive stories leading news services? Those who compile our papers, TV and radio news know that bad news sells. And so every report of people being assaulted at home, on the streets or at work are given far more prominence that “good news� stories. The result is the perception of violence all around us becomes the reality – we are all prisoners in our homes. We are just a spark away from the riots that engulfed Britain, Dean Street is unsafe at night and every knock on the door is potential danger. Fortunately the real situation is far different from our real lives. On Wednesday in Wodonga, police, Neighbour Watch and Wodonga council joined forces to provide some peace of mind to the residents of the city. The new Community Safety Register will allow senior citizens, the disabled and others who lack family support to register themselves as those who may need assistance from time to time. Whether the register can actually achieve much in itself is a moot point – its value may well be more in making people more content in their lives, and relieving that sense of uncertainty. Wodonga, thankfully, is a reasonably safe place to life. If we all continue to look out for each other, and tell police when the few idiots get out of control we will all enjoy the good things in life rather than worrying about perceptions that may never occur.

This 16th party was against all the odds Dance of the Spanish horses THE magnificent white stallions of Spain are dancing their way to the Border on August 27 with the fully choreographed arena spectacular El Caballo Blanco: The Dance of the White Stallions, performed at the Albury Sports Stadium. The show is led by world-renowned riding master Rene Gasser who, with the experiences of seven generations, has recreated an event only previously seen at the famous riding schools in Vienna and Spain. The horses of Spain are some of the most celebrated in history, favoured for centuries by European royalty, equestrian riders and bullfighters and this performance will celebrate the tradition, athleticism and grace of these revered creatures. Along with the magnificent stallions, Spanish flamenco dancers will feature in authentic costumes accompanied by the mellow notes of a guitar to bring the sights and sounds of Spain a heartbeat away. In the south of Spain, the tradition of flamenco dancing is rivalled only by the tradition of breeding fine horses and Rene Gasser says the breeds have been featured in portraits with European royalty, used in multiple movies and are extremely popular among riders. El Caballo Blanco: The Dance of the White Stallions will feature a number of performances involving the Andalusian, Friesian, Lipizzaner and Arabian breeds and the event is dedicated to showing off the amazing beauty and manoeuvres these horses are capable of. There will be two sessions of this wonderful show tomorrow (Saturday) at 2pm and 7.30pm.

So serious were her ongoing medical problems that at 10 years of age she was granted the trip of a lifetime to Disneyland by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The trip included herself, her two siblings, mum and grandmother. Despite her continued bouts of illness Paige attended Wodonga Primay School, where she completed Year 7, then she elected to attend Belvoir Special

School where she is still a student. Saturday’s birthday party was attended by about 80 family and friends. And in keeping with her roller-coaster health ride she was admitted to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne on Tuesday for further treatment to remove kidney stones.

horses: The show is a spectacular display.

By KEN DYASON WHEN Paige McDonald came into this world, multiple health problems left her family with grave fears for her future. After spending most of the first year of her life in the Royal Children’s Hospital the tiny bundle came home to Wodonga with the hope she could enjoy a reasonable life. Since then she has been in and out of hospital, but despite all her problems on Saturday she celebrated her 16th birthday with a party attended by family and friends at the Felltimber Community Centre. Paige surprised everyone by arriving at the party by stretch limousine accompanied by her mum and a selected group of friends. The gala occasion was testament to her fighting spirit and the quality of health care both here in Albury Wodonga and at the Royal Children’s Hospital. In fact health experts told the family had she not been born in Wodonga, she probably would not have survived. Paige was born without and esophagus and with a congenital heart defect known as fallot’s tetralogy, which has necessitated several open heart operations. Within hours of her birth she had been flown by air ambulance to Melbourne, accompanied by grandma, who has come to be known as her Minya. Mum, Rachel, was left to worry about her baby in Wodonga following an emergency caesarian birth which left her unable to travel for several days. Within hours of arrival in Melbourne she was Christened and rushed to surgery for the first of her open heart surgery operations.

WINNER: Gretta Ziller in action on Saturday night. Picture: BERNADETTE By BERNADETTE CANNIZZARO THE Kinross Woolshed was alive with the sound of music on Saturday evening with a massive crowd all in support of the Telstra Road to Discovery. Shannon Noll was the feature artist of the night and he put on a spectacular performance. “We love having Shannon here,” owner Nick Conway said. “He really engages with the audience and he even stayed on after the performance to talk to his fans, along with signing autographs and giving the kids a cuddle.” The Telstra Road to Discovery gives independent music artists who are looking for their big break in Australian music industry an opportunity to showcase their talent. “Just like there are opportunities for talented sports people in the country, so too is there an opportunity to shine in music,” Noll told his audience. “There was nothing like this when I started out and I think its fantastic that Telstra has given their support to regional talent.”

The winner of Saturday nights event, Gretta Ziller performed two original songs titled Alright with me and Square peg in the round hole. “I have been performing for 10 years in a band and I have been performing solo for a couple of years now,” she said. “I was shocked when I heard my name. There was a lot of really good performers. It was a fantastic night.” Semi finalist winners such as Gretta from around the country will go on to attend the Telstra Road To Discovery Boot Camp in Sydney in December. “We get a three day music mentoring workshop and we will spend time with a large number of music industry experts,” Gretta said. Each semi finalist will perform one song in December as part of the Sydney Telstra 500 Super Car event. From there, the top seven performers progress to the finals as part of the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January 2012.

HAVE you tried to use a payphone only to find it has been removed, or if it is still there, it is out of order? The Federal Government is looking for your views on draft regulations that will ensure Telstra meets its universal service obligation to make payphones reasonably accessible. Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, said the draft regulations would set stronger standards and benchmarks for Telstra for the provision of public payphones. “The draft regulations would establish tough new processes if Telstra wishes to remove payphones and would impose stronger requirements on Telstra to repair payphones in a timely manner,” Senator Conroy said. The draft regulations propose: Clear requirements for the locations of payphones; Timeframes Telstra must meet when payphones require repairs; Criteria that must be applied before Telstra removes a payphone, with rights of review by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA); New requirements for Telstra to consult the public when it installs or removes a payphone; and, Rights for people to make complaints about a proposed payphone installation or removal. If you want your views to be heard write to: The Manager, Universal Access Section, Networks Regulation Branch, Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, GPO Box 2154, Canberra ACT 2601.

Community rallies to cause

By TREVOR JACKSON THE Border community rallied behind Brave Hearts on Sunday to replant the rose garden at Belvoir Park that was recently vandalised. President of Brave Hearts, Jenny Black said after the heartbreak of seeing the senseless damage caused to the garden it was refreshing to see so many show up to offer a helping hand. “It really was just heart breaking,” Jenny said of the vandalism. “Now you can feel the healing and celebration coming back into it again. You just hope the people that did it didn’t realise how important this garden was to so many people in the community and that the roses were more than rose deep … the garden went far more than just roses.” Jenny said they had

children show up to help out and people they hadn’t met before all wanting to plant a rose and say how thrilled they were that the garden was again up and running. She said this was one of Brave Hearts’ special projects and she acknowledged the support of the Wodonga council. Jenny said they hoped the roses, a combination of Iceberg, Seduction and Jane McGrath would be flowering in spring and urged everyone to head down and utilise the garden. “I’d like to thank the community once again for supporting it and let them know it’s here and to come down and enjoy it,” she said. “It’s not just for breast cancer, it’s inclusive for anyone to reflect and enjoy.”

Climate change subject of leadership group forum PARTICIPANTS in Wodonga Council’s Youth Leadership Program have organised a Q and A style forum on climate change on Wednesday, August 31, at 5pm at La Trobe University. The forum will be moderated by Ron Lewis (OAM), and is being organised by members of the program. Mr Lewis is a well-known local lawyer with extensive experience in public speaking and broadcasting. The panel will be made up by a number of experts including Ian Davidson, an independent wildlife biologist who runs a small environmental consultancy, Professor Lin Crase, director of La Trobe University’s Albury-Wodonga campus and

Malcolm Ross who has completed a Masters in Social Ecology and has 40 years experience as a farm manager. Participant Joseph Birckhead said the aim of the forum is to encourage informed discussion about climate change. “Climate change is an especially timely issue at the moment with much community discussion around the Australian Government’s new carbon tax,” he said. “We are encouraging Albury-Wodonga residents to discuss their views on climate change with local experts.” After the forum there will be an environmentallythemed party with performances by Whisky Dram,

Jeffrey Cabalar and Bella Johnston. Tickets to the after party are free for those who attend the forum, otherwise $3 pre-sale or $6 at the door. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased from the La Trobe University cafe located at The Hangar on University Drive. The dress theme is recycled. Wodonga Council’s youth leadership program focuses on the individual leadership development of participants through skill sessions, reflection, individual development plans, high profile presenters, one-on-one mentoring and small group community projects. The 2011 program involves 10 participants, aged between 18 and 25.

BY BERNADETTE CANNIZZARO A crowd of suspicious people postponed their Saturday shopping to view the helicopter landing in QEII square. It was all part of a creative launch for the local performance Miss Saigon presented by the Albury Wodonga Theatre Company. Director Joseph Thomsen said it was the first time anything like this had been done in Albury. “We are very grateful that Albury City Council allowed us to land in QEII square,” he said. “We wanted to do something different and we thought we could have some fun with this launch.” Miss Saigon tells a story of Vietnamese woman, Kim and her love for a US soldier Chris during the Vietnam War, before they are torn apart by the forces around them. “In the play, the helicopter, which is a real helicopter not an image, is the big moment in Miss Saigon. “The scene is often compared to the

If you can’t trust your police who can you trust in troubled times?

Working together must be our aim I met Christine Nixon in the early 90s when I was working in Strategic Services in the Avery Building in Sydney. Christine consulted me on my then portfolio of adult sexual assault for the State. At that time I found her to be a very dynamically motivated and inspirational woman. Over the years I have been part of the audience during her presentations at different forums. So it was with keen interest that I found myself tapping my kindle working my way through her biography. Surprisingly I found myself

thinking that the dilemmas and issues she faced in the 80s and 90s are not too different to the current policing culture. True, there are far more women in the organisation and still only a small handful in executive positions. Disappointingly I have found that in almost all cases, it’s not just what you may know, but it definitely depends on who you know, and the support of a great mentor to assist in opening some doors for you, albeit most of those doors are in the metropolitan area. But what struck me as most interesting was Christine’s notion of “community engagement� a con-

cept she had studied during her time in the 80s at Harvard. She acknowledged it as a natural ability for country officers, yet something that metropolitan police found harder to grasp. More than 20 years later NSW Police launched their community engagement guidelines earlier this year. Community Engagement is

%$.(5 027256 We’ve got you covered

about the police and the community working together to reduce the crime and the fear of violence; it’s about engaging you in some format to assist with reducing crime. Local community engagement was evident last week in Acting Inspector Paul Gay’s organisation of a beat of police saturating Centro Lavington. The members of the public interviewed in relation to this strategy were highly supportive and encouraged police to do this more frequently. Of course it stands out when there is more than the usual car crew performing the function.

You should feel safe, confident and TRUST your local police. Without trust our community relationship does not exist. Like any organisation a type of culture exists within the policing environment and police do have some sense of separateness and apartness, but as Nixon says, “police must not lose connection to community or they lose the bedrock of their authority: trust� Local police are committed to engaging the community as part of their customer service strategy, and we look forward to, and welcome, your feedback on our performance.

How do you rate in the daddy stakes? By BERNADETTE CANNIZZARO HAVE you noticed the number of proud fathers taking charge of strollers as they walk with their partners. In today’s society it is more common to see men take charge of fatherly duties such as: changing nappies, feeding, bathing and story time according to a new study from Baby.com. Though women are traditionally the full time carers, men have stepped up a notch and children are enjoying the benefits of it. According to the National Household Education Survey, children with fathers who are involved are more likely to get A’s in school and are more likely to enjoy school and engage in extracurricular activities.

Dad Quiz 1. Your baby is crying. You a. Pick him up right away instead of letting him cry. b. Let him cry no longer than 5 minutes c. Ten minutes plus

2. How many times a day does your newborn eat? a. three meals a day b. every four hours c. eight to 10 times a day

3. What’s the number one “never leave home without it” item you should bring for an afternoon at the park with your new born?

FATHER’SDAY Special day for dad far from universal AUSTRALIANS celebrate Father’s Day on the first Sunday in September. But the date is far from universal. While most nations have set a date to honour fathers, they virtually range across the year, depending where you live. The first observance of Father’s Day actually took place in Fairmont, West Virginia on July 5, 1908. It was organised by Mrs Grace Golden Clayton, who wanted to celebrate the lives of the 210 fathers who had been lost in the Monongah Mining disaster several months earlier in Monongah, West Virginia, on December 6, 1907 . Clayton chose the Sunday nearest to the birthday of her recently deceased father. Unfortunately, the day was overshadowed by other events in the city, West Virginia did not officially register the holiday, and it was not celebrated again. Instead, credit for Father’s Day went to Sonora Dodd from Spokane, who invented independently her own celebration of Father’s Day just two years later, also influenced by Jarvis’ Mother’s Day. Clayton’s celebration was forgotten until 1972, when one of the attendants to the celebration saw Nixon’s proclamation of Father’s Day, and worked to recover its legacy. The celebration is now held every year in the Central United Methodist Church, as the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was torn down in 1922. Fairmont is now promoted as the “Home of the

Answer:

HOW do you organise something for dad on Father’s Day? How do you show him you love him? Although these days men are changing, there are still plenty of dads who don’t share their feelings very well, and tend to get a bit twitchy when it comes to intimate family moments. But even the most remote dad secretly wants to be loved and appreciated for what he sees as his role as the bread-winner. So a big hug and the “love you” words won’t go astray even if he seems a little unfomfortable. Of course a gift is a good start. Most dads can often put clothing to good use, although the traditional “sock and jocks” are not really in fashion. Men and notoriously bad shoppers, and

tend to wear the same clothes until they fall to bits, so picking something that suits is generally not too difficult. On Mother’s Day, breakfast in bed can be a nice treat, but for dad all it will probably do is fill the bed with crumbs and give mum another job. A family barbecue, or the ultimate – letting him take you out for lunch is always a chance to spend time together. Done right he probably won’t realise he is footing the bill! But whatever you do, don’t forget this special day. Make him know you love him and appreciate everything he does for you and the family. Make a fuss of him and share in the rewards.

First Father’s Day Service”. A Bill to accord national recognition of the holiday was introduced in Congress in 1913.

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson went to Spokane to speak in a Father’s Day celebration and wanted to make it official, but Congress resisted, fearing that it would become commercialised. US President Calvin Coolidge recommended in 1924 that the day be observed by the nation, but stopped short of issuing a national proclamation. Two earlier attempts to formally recognize the holiday had been defeated by Congress. In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honoring mothers, thus “[singling] out just one of our two parents”. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972. In addition to Father’s Day, International Men’s Day is celebrated in many countries on November 19 for men and boys who are fathers. While Australia shares the first Sunday in September with Fiji, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, the third Sunday in June is far more popular with 64 countries, including the United States, and Great Britain chosing this day.

lIVINGnOW Blending grapes

- right or wrong?

WINELOVERS with

PAUL MUNTZ

L

ast week we looked at winemaking both here and the Old World and saw that some of the greatest wines are mixtures of several varieties. We saw how sometimes overseas makers stuck with single grapes, but often added just a little “dab� of another grape to “lift� the blend. This week we will see if there are exceptions to the rule about blended wines producing the best results.

So, are there exceptions?

Pretty much around the world, chardonnay, riesling and pinot noir (to name just a few) are left alone – these are “regal� grapes that don’t take kindly to sharing the limelight. Each is so complete and unique in its own right, there is no need to gild the lily with other varietals.

Finally, what about bubblies?

Sure, there are sparkling wines made from straight chardonnay or other white varieties, but both here and overseas, the real “stars� are a blend of different grapes. In Champagne, if you see “Blanc de Blancs� on the label, that means nothing but white grapes (usually Chardonnay only) have been used. But, I hear you say – “aren’t all bubblies made from white grapes?� Strangely enough, the answer is “no�. In Champagne, liberal use is made of the grapes pinot noir and pinot meunier (both red varietals) to give different structure and outcomes to a blend. Mostly, French sparkling wines are a blend of different varieties (red and white), but if you see “Blanc de Noirs� on a Champagne label, that means that only red (black ‘noir’) grapes have been used in the blend. Both here and overseas, pinot noir and chardonnay are the most successful varieties for sparkling wine, and are the most common blend.

The conclusion?

The answer is that there is no answer. The wine area, and wine style, will always dictate whether a blend is right or wrong. Canberra shiraz loves a touch of viognier, but Rutherglen “shy-raz� likes being left alone. Hunter River semillon is a class act in isolation, but in Western Australia it just goes better when blended with sauvignon blanc. Cabernet sauvignon goes great guns with shiraz, but is often just as much at home with merlot or malbec. Hell, at Penfolds they even blend a bit of cabernet sauvignon in with Grange Hermitage in some years, just to “round it off�.

Tip for the week?

Grab a bottle of Hunter semillon with four or five years bottle age (easily available) and try and get a semillon sauvignon blanc blend from Western Australia of the same or a close vintage. The styles are utterly different, with the Margaret River wine designed for early drinking whereas the Hunter wine is in there for the long haul.

ven though it is still officially winter, we always get a few perfect, springlike days this month, often lulling us into a false sense of well-being in the garden! This is encouraged by the sight of flowering Hellebores, camellias and lots of native shrubs. However, susceptible plants still need protection from late frosts, especially if they develop new growth. Winds often blow up during the next few weeks to cause problems, so keep an eye on those plants which don’t like to be blown about. Watch out for early influxes of spring pests too, like aphids. They love new shoots on roses and camellias, and of course, anything fresh and new in the vegetable garden. During these warmer conditions you can start sowing tomato seeds in containers in a very sheltered and sunny spot, such as on a verandah, or beside a wall which will both reflect and retain heat from the sun. The seedlings which germinate will be ready to go into the vegetable garden when it is warmer. A good variety to try is Apollo, because it is likely to set fruit in cooler conditions. Various summer-flowering annuals can be sown now and kept away from frosts and any

heavy rain. The colourful Portulaca is very challenging to grow from seed, but you end up with lots of seedlings in a huge variety of colours. The seed is very small and needs light to germinate. It is best to dampen the soil before spreading the seed on top, and just barely moisten while waiting for them to germinate, with a mist sprayer. The ironing spray is good for the job! Separate them carefully and plant where you want them, when all frosts have finished. You can feed any shrubs as they finish flowering. This is very important with Daphnes. They are such slow growers, but seem to respond to Blood and Bone given in correct quantities. Get a good quality one, because some of the cheaper ones use low-grade fillers such as sand. Feed your camellias and natives as the flowers fall too, remembering to use a fertiliser suitable for the natives. Finish off any pruning necessary with your roses, and also your citrus trees. Check for gall wasp lumps in any of their branches this month. They should be removed and burnt. August is a month which requires a fair bit of work, but you will reap the benefits in the warmer months.

Various Eucalypts are covered in flowers and these bring so many native birds into the garden. Smaller-growing native shrubs will benefit from pruning after flowering.

WELCOME

WELCOME: Valda and Robyn Marven at the Perth Conference. hurany was the focus of a presentation by Robyn Marven and Valda Murray to the Remote and Rural Aboriginal Health Conference held in Perth recently. The main impetus for the development of “Dhurany” was the removal of Community Development Employment Program (CDEP). Previously, the CDEP program ensured that participants attended local Aboriginal controlled agencies to sign on for employment. Now that CDEP no longer exists, many people do not have reason to go to their local Aboriginal agencies therefore access to health information, news, and programs has been stifled. The idea of creating an Aboriginal focused newspaper insert for the Albury Wodonga community involved discussions with Aboriginal Elders and local newspapers. Currently this is accessed by over 39000 people. Robyn and Valda collect stories, conduct interviews with local Aboriginal people and cross reference ideas and concepts. Aboriginal agencies, government departments, and a range of other community groups have shown support via placement of advertisements for programs that are targeted towards Aboriginal people. This support has been extremely favourable and has established a much needed conduit for both Aboriginal and non Aboriginal members of the Albury Wodonga region. If your organisation delivers programs that will benefit Aboriginal people you should use Dhurany to inform local people of your initiatives. Contact Robyn Marven on 0260491900.

SAPPHIRES - THE MOVIE A MAJOR new Australian feature film The Sapphires has begun shooting this week in and around Albury. Following two successful casting sessions held in Albury recently, one at Albury High School and another at the Albury Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service (AWAHS), The Sapphires is employing over 45 local Aboriginal people ranging from small children to elders. Many families have agreed to be extras in the film for the scenes that re-create Cummeragunja Mission in the

1960s. “It’s a great privilege to also have some Elders who were originally from Cummeragunja come and be part of the film, as well as the tremendous support we’ve received generally from the Aboriginal community, in particular, Valda Murray,” producer Rosemary Blight said. The Sapphires, which stars Irish actor Chris O’Dowd and Australia’s Jessica Mauboy, Deborah Mailman, Miranda Tapsell and Shari Sebbens, will film in the area for two weeks before re-

turning to Sydney and Vietnam for further production. The Sapphires is inspired by a triumphant true story and is an adaptation of the hugely successful stage musical of the same name. Adapted by Keith Thompson (Clubland) and playwright Tony Briggs, The Sapphires will be directed by acclaimed actor and theatre director Wayne Blair and produced by Goalpost Pictures Australia’s Rosemary Blight and Kylie du Fresne. The Sapphires is inspired by the remarkable true

story of Briggs’ mother and her family. The film is set in the heady days of 1968 when four talented singers, from a remote Aboriginal mission, are discovered by an unlikely talent scout. Plucked from obscurity and branded as Australia’s answer to The Supremes, The Sapphires grasp the chance of a lifetime when they’re offered their first real gig - entertaining the troops in Vietnam. For the girls, a whole new world of sex, war, politics and SOUL.

Lovin’ that respect

Respectful relationships, sexual health and feeling proud to be an Aboriginal teenager were the topics for discussion and laughter at the ‘Won’t lie to ya but...” forum held last week at Lake Hume Resort. Over 80 Aboriginal secondary school students from the Albury Wodonga region gathered together to be entertained by comedy, drama and dance peformed by Nelly Thomas, Isaac Drandich and Nikki

Ashby from Melbourne. Humour and lots of laughter helped make the serious topics such as ethical relationships, sexually transmissible infections, negotiating consent and respectful relationships easier to talk about. The fun continued in the afternoon with drama, film making, and dance and art workshops. The project continues with a series of workshops. The participants get

to chose drama, dance or film production workshops starting in August and running for around eight weeks. It combines learning more about relationships and sexual health and making DVDs and YouTube clips. Look out for the info on the facebook page www. facebook.com/smartanddeadlykoori which was established to communicate with everyone and high-

light the work in progress. You can contact us through the facebook page or ring Anne Stelling (Centre For Excellence in Rural Sexual Health, University of Melbourne) on 0428 565 195. Thanks to all the workers and agencies involved in this collaborative project, with around 15 local and state-wide services working together to run the forums and the forthcoming youth workshops.

MAC’s back AN old building, the home of Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation (MAC), has been transformed into an exciting, refurbished, renovated and rejuvenated office space for the 20 MAC staff, says Matt Burke OAM, CEO of MAC. Matt adds, “The staff are really looking forward to going back to a fresh new feel and look”. Thanks to Aboriginal Affairs Victoria (AAV), approximately $800K has been spent locally to bring the offices and community areas into a safe and workable condition. There is also a new board room, and larger working areas for the staff. The office space at MAC has almost doubled, with a new work vehicle only car park at the rear. Electronic entry for staff is also a new feature of the building. Over the next six months it is planned to add a solar system to further save on energy costs MAC thanks AAV, in particular Mr Mba Kalu the project co-ordination officer, who has been very helpful and provided good guidance and supervision to having the project completed on time and in budget. On September 2 at 11am is the re opening, with Aboriginal Affairs Minister Jeanette Powell doing the official opening, along with many local, regional and state dignitaries attending So all in all, a good return on the investment and Matt adds, “It will be good to have community back having yarns, a cuppa or doing the many programs that MAC offers”

Burraja Aboriginal Centre

THE Burraja Aboriginal Centre located on Gateway Island Wodonga is an integral instrument in educating and engaging both local Indigenous groups and the wider community, through a variety of environmental and heritage tours, training sessions and events. Burraja plays a key role in building an active and inclusive community which embraces the local Indigenous experience, it provides opportunities for dialogue and cooperation, and has consistently built awareness, cross cultural respect and understanding within the wider local community. With the growth of the Wodonga Albury region, it is absolutely vital that there is continued education, cultural awareness and opportunities for dialogue within the local community about the Indigenous experience, and that Burraja continues to work to build the links between the Indigenous population and

the wider community. It has been identified that having a place in which to gather, engage in cultural activities and maintain links with community has positive health and social implications for Indigenous communities, and has particular benefits for those young people who engage, including lower levels of substance abuse and contact with justice. Benefits of participation and engagement with the Burraja Aboriginal Centre for the wider community include a breakdown of social

barriers, reductions in cross cultural violence and racism related incidents, a safer more inclusive environment for all community members, as well as a full understanding of the cultural significance and history of their local area. The feasibility study undertaken recently details sustainable service delivery options which will add to the sustainability of the centre by providing additional income streams and further opportunities for training and employment within the local community. The Burraja Aboriginal Centre is a key asset in the local community, and the Burraja Executive Group recognises the importance of ensuring the ongoing sustainability of the centre. We look forward to you visiting us. For further information regarding bookings and tours, please contact Richard G Kennedy on 0409 208 203

THE extensive use of fire by Aboriginal people across Australia was recorded and documented by early European explorers. Not only did the explorers record the presence of widespread fire but they also blamed it for damaging the landscape. Captain James Cook wrote that his crew “saw upon all the Adjacent Lands and Islands a great number of smokes - a certain sign that they are inhabited ...” Aboriginal people would have burnt, and still do burn, for a variety of reasons including: • cultural ceremonies for hunting • cleaning up the land • ease of movement through the country • to favour certain foods and other resources • for signalling • for warmth during the winter months The Aboriginal ‘tool-kit’ was based on the skilful use of controlled friction and tinder. Methods included rubbing a woomera (spear thrower) against a wooden shield or log while adding tinder and blowing. Another technique was the fire drill which involved a spinning rod in a cavity creating frictional heat. With the arrival of European settlers in the late 18th Century traditional Aboriginal burning practices were severely disrupted. Loss of Indigenous knowledge and separation from the land has been most pronounced in southern and eastern Australia.

The finest young talent on show

TALENT: Glenn Christensen (violin), Caroline Hopson (violin), Dale Rickert (cello), Susanna Ling (viola) BORDER residents are set for a treat when The Australian Youth Orchestra presents its finest chamber music group, the Glasshouse String Quartet for a series of concerts at Arts Space Wodonga this month. The quartet will play shows on Friday, August 26, at 7.30pm and Wednesday, August 31, at 10.30am. Performing classic works from Haydn, Meale, Beethoven and Debussy the Glasshouse String Quartet features four of Australia’s most gifted young classical musicians – Glenn Christensen, Caroline Hopson, Susanna Ling and Dale Rickert, who have been selected by The Australian Youth Orchestra to bring chamber music to regional centres around Victoria. The quartet is part of The Australian Youth Orchestra Ensemble in Residence program, one of the organisation’s most carefully prepared programs. “Having primed these pieces in a hothouse environment where we can focus fully

on the work, means we hope the audience reap the benefits,” violinist Glenn Christensen said. “We’re looking forward to putting on a great show.” The Australian Youth Orchestra CEO Colin Cornish said they are delighted to be presenting Australia’s brightest young chamber musicians to perform in Wodonga. “It’s essential to bring these works to regional communities,” he continued. All members of Glasshouse String Quartet have worked professionally in various Australian orchestras and have toured three different continents as part of The Australian Youth Orchestra. Tickets are $15 for adults/$10 concession for the evening show; or $5 for the Friday matinee. They can be purchased via the Murray Conservatorium on 6041 4249 or Arts Space Wodonga on 6022 9600.

Musical abilities to the fore ALBURY Wodonga’s MusicAbility will present a gala concert on Thursday, September 8, at the Albury Entertainment Centre. The event will showcase the Wild Choir and the Wild Things band. The Wild About You show will feature the talents of 40 local musicians with diverse abilities. Wild About You is a romping song and dance story about loving and dreaming. Scripted and directed by Karen Roben, the performance is about the search for a comfortable, healthy relationship. The show features original and popular songs integrated into the story line. The concert will feature 2011 Tamworth Golden Guitar winning musician Pete Denahy who will entertain with his larrikin manner and virtuosic musicality. Denahy has been mentoring musicians in the Wild Things band and will sit-in for several of the songs. Another highlight of the gala concert will be a performance from local dance group dis/assemble, a group of dancers of varied abilities that work together on innovative contemporary dance projects in Albury Wodonga. One of the strengths of this group of dancers is the full integration of people with a disability working alongside highly trained young dancers. Jonathon Welch from the Choir of Hope and Inspiration (formerly the Choir of Hard Knocks) recently conducted a workshop with MusicAbility and provided guidance on professional singing and performing. Jonathon has agreed to become mentor to MusicAbility’s Musical Director, Karen Roben and has invited MusicAbility participants to come to Melbourne’s BMW Edge to attend a performance of their new musical “My Fare Label” by the Choir of Hope and Inspiration. Rehearsals have been co-directed by choreographer Margo McCallum who has assisted participants to enhance elements of movement, dance and acting to the performance, while assistant musical director Tony Lukav has worked tirelessly with The Wild Things Band. There will be a preview matinee at the Albury Entertainment Centre at 1.30pm with entry by gold coin donation. The gala event will be at 7.30pm, with entry $33, or concession $23.

Classic charm fully refurbished

CLASSIC charm and functionality collide in this central Wodonga home from the front fence to the rear deck and beyond. Conveniently located in William Street this lovingly renovated family home oozes street appeal with timber and corrugated iron inviting a closer look. Upon entry stylish polished timber floors greet the owners and high ceilings and elaborate cornices hark to yesteryear while down-lights throughout add a modern appeal. Life’s necessities are taken care of with three generous bedrooms, two with built-in robes and a beautifully remodelled bathroom with large tiles, a tasteful

shower and full bath. The spacious lounge room offers the modern comfort of gas heating with the old style mantle and adjoins the main living areas. The stunning, expansive kitchen and dining area is yet another feature of the home with stainless steel cooking, rangehood, dishwasher, double sink and more than enough bench space to ensure a pleasurable experience when entertaining or just feeding the hungry family. The entertainment options are further extended with a stylish timber deck overlooking the large rear yard complete with powered shedding and mature fruit trees.

WHEN Rory Stainton first moved to Central Victoria, his focus was on the old minepocked gold fields that stretch throughout the scrub. He was searching not for gold, but for clay. He had a vision to start a brick manufacturing business that would service a growing market for people that wanted beautiful and low embodied energy homes, and he needed quality raw materials for his product. “I went to extreme lengths,” he claims, “to find the best material for a low carbon house brick to compete in the existing energy hungry fired-brick market.” He found it on the outskirts of the historic gold town of Bealiba, and moved there to turn his vision into reality. “When I started all I had was a shovel, a mattock and a hand-operated cinva ram,” he says. “I didn’t even own a wheelbarrow!” Twenty years of experimentation, testing and building experience later, assisted by several state government grants, Stainton has expanded his fledgling idea to develop, refine and mass-produce a ground-breaking product: a conventional-sized building brick that uses just 40 per cent of the energy consumed by kiln-fired bricks. His unique production method was recognised as an important innovation by the “New Inventors” and earned him a chance to present his creation on the show. Geobrick weighs and looks the same as a standard fired brick, has the same dimensions and load-bearing capabilities.

However it has one major difference: it is not kiln fired like a conventional house-brick, but is dried naturally in the open air. This means that its production saves as much as seven tonnes of carbon dioxide for every average house-lot. “Bealiba has the best clays in Australia for this type of brick,” says Stainton. “Clays from other areas can expand and contract in hot and cold conditions, whereas the clays in this area are much more stable.” Geobrick, made from Bealiba’s exceptionally fine clays, is attracting the interest of building designers looking for new styles and materials that will appeal to developers and home builders. Andrew de Weerd, a member of the Building Designers Association of Victoria and the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors, and who has worked in senior positions in the domestic building industry since 1996, believes Geobrick is a building material “waiting to happen.” As an accredited thermal assessor, De Weerd also sees the advantages of Stainton’s innovation from a thermal energy efficiency point of view. “Geobrick is a ‘fine’ grained brick. It is also a dense brick.”. These qualities, De Weerd believes, means the brick has further potential for application in fire rated walls between buildings and in homes built in Flame Zones. Stainton’s business partner Andre Farley, says Geobrick will appeal to the same market as solar power: people thinking about their own carbon footprint.

Simply the best choice of land

The Council of Australian Governments is currently asking the community for its views on making it mandatory when selling or leasing a home to provide a certificate that outlines the property’s energy, greenhouse and water performance. It is suggested that if buyers know this detail they will be more likely to choose a home that shows good environmental performance, and the seller will be more likely to take action to reduce energy and water use. It is generally agreed that reducing a home’s water and energy use is a good idea, as shown by the actions taken by hundreds of thousands of

Enzo Raimondo CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria people over the past decade. But in assessing the government’s idea, it’s necessary to consider what buyers look for and how much of a difference disclosing this information will make. The REIV commissioned a survey of 1000 people in 2007 and asked the question, “If you were looking for a property to purchase what would be your most impor-

tant consideration?” Number one on the list was price, second was location and third was proximity to shops, schools and transport. People were also asked a separate question about the importance of water and energy saving features. A substantially high 93 per cent said that those features were important. Clearly there is a high level of interest in making homes greener. The survey – and REIV members’ experience shows that buyers are more likely to make decisions based on the inescapable factors of price and location.

Taryn up with best in world

HOLBROOK’S Taryn Heather was this week announced in the team to represent Australia at the upcoming World Road Cycling Championships in Copenhagen next month. After only a few years of serious cycling, Heather finished a very close second to Shara Gillow at the National Road Championships time trial event in January this year. Heather has since spent the winter based out of the AIS training camp near Varese, Italy, training and racing under the watchful eye of Australian women’s coach, Albury’s David McPartland. Happy with Heather’s progress, McPartland extended her season in Europe to get more exposure to competing at the top level. At this point Taryn has been selected to compete in the time trial event. WODONGA Bulldog netballer, Liona Edwards will reach a huge milestone this weekend when she lines up for her 200th A grade Ovens and Murray netball game. But the 37-year-old wasn’t sure of achieving that goal this season as the Bulldogs struggled to ensure a finals berth. “We weren’t sure if we would make the finals and it was going to be a long wait until next season to play my 200th,” Edwards said. “But the girls have played brilliantly and we had two great wins over the Rovers and the Saints in the past two rounds, which secured us a spot.” Edwards said she would like another chance at an O&M grand final after winning a premiership with Lavington Panthers in 1998. And to ensure that dream is realised the Bulldogs will have to survive a sudden death elimination final against Wangaratta Rovers this weekend to continue on in the competition. The Bulldogs defeated the Rovers by eight goals in their encounter earlier this month so they are a good chance to take the victory and allow Edwards to celebrate her major milestone. FALCONS have shown their dominance of the men’s division one domestic hockey competition with an emphatic 7-2 win over Norths. Norths began the game well when Ian Beath was given space to dribble in to the circle and shoot, his accuracy too good for Falcons’ keeper Nathan Burriss.

Mat Russell soon levelled the score with the first of his two field goals but Beath was quick to add to his tally with his second goal coming from a penalty corner. The speed of his drag flick mesmerized the defence and it found a narrow channel into the goal. Falcons were jolted into action and began a short sharp passing game to set up many opportunities and take a 4-2 lead at the break. But Norths were unable to withstand the barrage and succumbed to the strong Falcons attack in the second half. Falcons’ coach, John Jewell was happy with their attacking play but said he was still concerned on the defensive end. “It was good to see the goals being shared around the forwards but we still have trouble with our marking up in defence,” he said. “We allowed Ian Beath too much room early on and we paid the price on the scoreboard.” United kept Magpies in the wooden spoon position with a 3-0 win while Wodonga managed a narrow 5-4 win over Wombats. In the women’s competition Wodonga were made to work hard for their 5-1 win over Wombats while a Nan Latta hat-trick helped Norths to a narrow 5-4 win over Falcons 5-4. IN basketball the Lady Bandits have managed to finish their season on a high with a 74-69 victory over Launceston. Another huge effort from Lisa Wallbutton, who bagged yet another double double with 18 points and 18 rebounds ensured the hosts took the points in an otherwise tight contest. Amber Land also chipped in with her own double double of 11 and 14 while Alex Duck managed an impressive team high score of 19 points after a hard fall in the third term that looked like ending her game prematurely. The men weren’t as fortunate suffering a big 99-68 point loss to North West Tasmania Thunder in a game they were never really competitive in. The first quarter 13-28 scoreline set the scene for the game and only a 23-18 point third term favoured the hosts. The visitors hit back with a 27-16 point final term to seal the game. Shawntes Gary dominated the floor for the Thunder with a 36 point display that ended a very lack-lustre season for the Bandits.

localSPORT Border drivers give the best a lesson Email: trevor.jackson@awnw.com.au

ROUND four of the Victorian Golden Power series was held at Wodonga’s Sheathers Road track over the weekend and Border racers stood up and showed the strength of the local club. In the Rotax Pro class 17-year-old Wodonga racer, Gary Burns took the victory while the Junior National Light division saw 14-yearold Wodonga racer, Jack Talty take the honours. The series takes in all of Victoria including metropolitan Melbourne and is described as possibly one of the best kart series in Victoria with around 200-300 drivers competing at each round. Burns won his final with a controlled effort from the front of the field after creating a small gap which he maintained throughout the race, culminating a strong weekend of racing. After beginning the weekend in 20th place Burns worked his way up through the field to finish ninth in that race and win the next two before taking out the final. And while pleased to have taken the win he didn’t forget those who helped him along the way.

“Dad’s really done an awesome job with Danny from Full Tilt,” Burns said. “They’ve really put their brains together and put

together a really awesome package for me this season and I’ve got a really strong engine from CC Racing.” In his first year of se-

nior racing Burns has managed to take out three of the Golden Power events and is looking strong for the series.

In contrast Talty had to work hard for his victory and in the end took the win in spectacular fashion. While he was sitting comfortably in third place in the final with a lap to go he realised the leading competitors were dicing aggressively and felt an opportunity could present itself, so he sat back and waited. With just a few hundred metres to go it did and he pounced. The second placed driver tried to dive up the inside of the leader on the final corner and the two karts came together, slowing down, creating an opening for Talty and he made the most of it. He said when the opportunity arose he simply took it and drove to the line for the win. “I would have been happy to come third and knew it would be a struggle to get up to first and win it,” he said. “I thought just go for it … if I can win it I’ll do it … I won by about a kart length.” After an up and down weekend and a fifth place start in the final it was a well deserved win by Talty.

AIF team shows more top form THE Albury AIF (Australian Imperial Force ) Swimming club has returned from a successful visit to the Bentleigh AIF Carnival recently held at the Caulfield Grammar indoor pool. The Border was well represented by the small team of Ted Woodbury, Graham Dickie, Barclay Dowling, Terri Sillett and Kathleen Carman with an average age of 60 years. The team competed against other AIF Clubs from Bentleigh, Box Hill, and Mentone and despite having the least competitors the Albury team performed extremely well, winning all three relay events including the 10-man relay where each of the members had to swim twice. Club handicapper, Barclay Dowling also achieved success in the 50m and 100m events, with a third placing in the 100m and second in the 50m freestyle events. This success comes on the heels of the same Albury swimmers at the AIF national titles in Southport Queensland in March. In that instance the team won the six man relay plus individual successes for Graham Dickie with a third in the over 60 years 50m breaststroke, second in the 6064 year 50m freestyle and second in the Charlie Bell Memorial 100m freestyle. Success was also achieved by the club president Ted Woodbury with first place in the 65-69 years 50m freestyle with Dowling taking the national 100m freestyle handicap championship. The Albury AIF Club swims each Friday night at GT Aquatics in Wagga Road and is open to new members from juniors up with an average age of around 40 years. Events cater for handicap, open and relay swims for age groups 18 to 85 plus.

Fired up for finals series

THE Spitfires men’s state league hockey team provided plenty of entertainment on Saturday for fans on the Border with an 8-0 demolition of Melbourne High School Old Boys at Albury Hockey Centre. Being the last home game of the season and with finals approaching, coach Andrew Maggs said it was important to get a good win despite the visitors position on the ladder. “They were last on the ladder so it was good to just put them away and have a good win

against them,” Maggs said. “It confirmed us in fourth place so we can’t miss out on the finals after winning that game.” The team now heads to Melbourne this week to face Brunswick, another game Maggs said they were keen to win. “We’d like to continue our good form leading into the finals,” he said. “Also Brunswick are just below us on the ladder so it would be nice to show everyone we are in the four best teams.” Leading into the finals

Maggs said the team was feeling confident with a full squad ready to tackle the league’s best. “We haven’t played the best teams at full strength,” he said. “We played two of the teams we’ll play in the finals when there were 13 of us away and they both beat us but when we had a full strength squad back we beat Mentone who are on top of the ladder. “We’re quietly confident if we can play the way we have the last two weeks we can beat anyone in the comp.”

Lauren to come home for stadium naming By TREVOR JACKSON BORDER residents will be treated to their own basketball royalty when Lauren Jackson, above, returns to Albury for the re-naming of the Albury Sports Stadium this year Jackson will unveil new signage and officially open the Lauren Jackson Sports Centre on Saturday, October 22, to coincide with the NSW Catholic Primary Schools Championships, which has attracted 700 children from across the state. Very few country regions have the chance to name a centre after one of the best sports persons in the world and while some opposition to the new name had been received initially there’s no doubt the decision to go ahead with the plan can only be positive for all who utilise the stadium. Jackson told NewsWeekly earlier this year that she hoped to return to Albury once her career was over and always considered the city her home. She echoed those words last week with the official announcement of the renaming. “I’m very excited but humbled to have the sports centre named in my honour,” Jackson said. “I’m grateful to the Albury City Council and people of Albury for this recognition. “Wherever I go in the world I always consider myself a country girl from Albury and it will indeed always be my home. “I’m very proud to have this connection to a city I love and can represent.” Likewise AlburyCity’s stadium manager, Michael Stanton said the combination of the renaming and the Catholic tournament promised to provide an exciting weekend of sport and celebration. “We’ve (council) been dealing with Lauren, her management and family and it’s all been very positive and everyone’s very excited about the event and what we can achieve,” Mr Stanton said. “There’s been a lot of logistics as far as signage, websites and agreements with Lauren’s management plus the timing of the event itself around Lauren’s availability … she’s only got a few weeks in the country.” Jackson will be joined by Albury mayor Alice Glachan and special guests at the re-naming ceremony which gets underway at noon. And for those who can’t make it down to the stadium 2AY will be broadcasting live from the venue.

Now it’s time to get really serious

Top Tipster: Simon Corr celebrating after taking back to back titles in the NewsWeekly O&M tipping competition. Picture: trevor jackson

It’s official: Simon does know footy

BACK to back titles in the NewsWeekly O&M footy tipping contest has proven Simon Corr knows what he’s on about … at least that’s what he’ll tell you! But in a season of ups and downs, the resurgence of the underdog, the David over Goliath victories Simon certainly proved a formidable opponent to other tipsters in the competition. And he said to beat Mark French, last year’s joint winner, was a focus of the season. “It’s nice to give a panel beater a bit of touch up,” he joked. “It’s confirmation that I finally know what I’m talking about!” But he considered the season to be a big one for the O&M and certainly a tough one to pick. “There must have been a fair bit of luck involved because if you had asked me at the start of the season I wouldn’t have picked Wang Rovers to finish in the bottom two,” he said. “And I certainly wouldn’t have put Lavington in the top three … the Raiders have been like Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde this year and everyone was talking about Corowa not winning a game and they won five so it’s unbelievable how it’s panned out … it’s been a tipster’s nightmare.” And while he considered the big surprise of the season would have to be the performance of Lavington he thought the grand final would most likely be contested between Yarrawonga and Albury. “Yarrawonga will be hungry for it after losing twice but footy’s a funny game,” he said. “Those sides aren’t there yet but they’re certainly looking like the two stronger sides in the competition, but Lavington have been the real surprise packet. “They’ve got such a young side and hopefully in the finals those young kids can find a bit of confidence again and they’ll push the other two sides so it’s not all over just yet.” And in typical Corr style he couldn’t help but give his beloved AFL side a bit of a plug! “Now if Collingwood can go back to back it would be perfect!” he laughed. Of course a big thank you has to go to the Good Sports foundation for supporting the tipping this season and to the other tipsters involved who pushed Simon all the way to the end. 2AY will be broadcasting all the finals action live on both Saturdays and Sundays this year so be sure to listen if you can’t make the games.

Footy plays part in depression fight

WITH a spate of Blue rounds in various sports across the Border recently you have to ask the question; what is the connection between sport and depression? Those who deal with the illness day in, day out tell us keeping active can be a great way to help manage depression and anxiety. Physical activity appears to be the main focus but the added bonus of social interaction adds to the benefits of being involved in a sporting organisation. Sport helps to provide social interaction through involvement on and off the field of play. Those suffering depression often feel isolated and isolate themselves further by not socialising and with the problems and pressures facing our youth this can have devastating effects. Parents have long been the life blood of country sporting clubs but more often we’re seeing a younger demographic coming through the ranks and with the emphasis currently on youth depression this has to be

a positive for all concerned. The Blue sporting rounds on the Border have certainly been well received and patronised by the general public with positive feedback coming from all involved. Beyond Blue is well known as an organization dedicated to helping depression sufferers in all walks of life but more locally help has been offered through the Australian Drug Foundation and its Good Sports and Build Your Game programs. Peter Lee is well known and respected in the region for his involvement in sport and more recently Good Sports and the Build Your Game, Good Mental Health programs. His passion for the concept has assisted many sporting organisations in the region to implement programs designed to overcome the stigma of depression, to curb alcohol abuse through education and give clubs the skill sets required to help identify problems and offer assistance in a non-judgmental way. The positives from these programs are

two fold, firstly with a more family friendly environment for youngsters due to controlled alcohol consumption parents can feel comfortable having their children involved with a sporting club. The flow-on effect from that is a more financially stable club due to an increase in membership. Secondly the education provided to club members through programs such as Build Your Game helps to identify those who may be suffering depression in silence. Mr Lee noted that at least two occasions have been presented to him where clubs who have undergone this training have been able to identify and assist members who are suffering from depression where they may well have otherwise slipped through the cracks. Sport offers us all a healthy lifestyle not just physically but mentally as well and the success of these programs this year is testament to those on the Border who have recognised the need and given their time and effort to assist.
