Ram’s lucky break By MONIQUE KUZEFF BORN and raised in a Beldangi refugee camp in Bhutan, Ram Khanal has seen and experienced a great deal in his young life and feels extremely lucky for receiving the opportunity to resettle in Australia. Twenty years ago, Ram’s parents fled Bhutan due to an ethnic cleansing policy that was being ordered by the Bhutanese government, targeting the ethnic minority in the south. This policy divided the country causing conflict and violence, forcing his parents to flee to escape persecution. Having spent 16 years living under extreme adversity, the 22-year-old said life in the refugee camp was in stark contrast to life in Australia. “You never knew what to expect from life, or what life should be,� Ram said. “It was tough, and when I compare being in the camp to being here in Australia, I realise I am lucky to have survived that sort of situation. In the camp, food was rationed fortnightly, access to health services and education were very basic, and there was no electricity or technology. Ram said food generally consisted of rice, lentils, oil, salt and potato. “Mum and dad had to portion how much we could eat in a day because what we got at the beginning of one week would have to last two weeks.� Reflecting back, Ram said the most difficult thing for him was hearing someone else had passed away from a preventable disease. “I saw people die almost everyday,� he said. “The health service was poor, very poor, and the worst thing was finding out that a friend I had played with would die of something not so serious like diarrhoea or fever because of the lack of sanitation.� Soccer was a popular activity in the camp, but there was limited access to sporting equipment, Ram said. “I still remember my friends and I having to scrape together material to make a soccer ball out of rags.
Ram, his parents and three brothers waited many years for a solution to their undesirable situation and wondered whether they could go back to their country, but that wasn’t an option. “Australia was our solution,� Ram said. In 2007, Beldangi camp refugees were given the opportunity to sign up to a resettlement program which saw the Khanal family being offered entry into Australia a year later. “We then had to go through medical and other screening processes which took another year and a half and then finally got here at the end of 2009. Ram said the transition to Australia had been massive. “The first few months, I was in a state of disbelief as I couldn’t believe what I saw. “To me it felt like a movie and it took me some time to adjust to the lifestyle. “I feel that Australia is a very welcoming and inclusive country.� Ram said he mostly appreciated the opportunities that Australia could offer him, which the Beldangi refugee camp could not. “There was so much limitation in the camp and no opportunity to become who I wanted to be and to do what I wanted to do,� he said. “I appreciate how here we have the opportunities to maximise our potential and achieve things that once looked impossible and improbable in the camp. “There is no point in surviving if there is no living - they are different things. In the camp it was more about survival, whereas here it is about living.� Ram said growing up in the camp taught him to become resourceful with what he had. “It’s an experience that not everyone has in life, but I have found it has enlightened me. Ram has settled well into the Border communities with his family, and is now vice-president of the Bhutanese Association in Albury. He also works at Murray High School as a learning and support officer for immigrant students.

Border Bike Fest donations go to the best of causes which will mean it can be a free event for them and is a great way to recognise them and say thank you,” Ms Bence said. “Without their support we wouldn’t be able to achieve what we do.” With fund-raising being quite difficult to organise, Yackandandah Health nursing director Annette Nuck said it was great to be thought of and included, with a $1000 donation. “The donation will go towards refurbishing the hostel and second lounge room with new furniture and curtains,” Ms Nuck said. Belvoir Special School received a $1000 donation, which will go towards revitalising the school's cafe for parents and students to enjoy. Other recipients of the Border Bike Fest funds last year were Hilltop Carer’s Centre, St Matthew's Church Crisis Care, Carevan Foundation, Vinnies Christmas Appeal, Salvation Army Christmas Appeal, United Care Christmas Appeal, and Ulysses Club Arthritis Research Foundation.
By MONIQUE KUZEFF THREE disability organisations received the last portion of generous funds raised by the Wodonga Lions Club and the Albury/Wodonga Ulysses Club at the Border Bike Fest last year. In October, the Border Bike Fest raised an incredible amount in it’s most successful year of fund-raising to date after it took in over $21,000. The event had over 200 motorbikes on display, more than 3000 people pass through the gates on the day, and over 100 volunteers who contributed to ensuring it would run smoothly. Yackandandah Health, Belvoir Special School, and Upper Murray Family Care (UMFC) Interchange program were the recipients of the donations presented on Thursday. Wodonga Lions Club committee member Marie Furze said the three organisations were considered for donations because the amount of work they did for the community. “They work so hard and they don’t get a lot of government assistance,” Ms Furze said.
Donations raised from the Border Bike Fest last year were presented to charity organisaions by the Wodonga Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF Lions Club and Albury/Wodonga Ulysses Club. 149817 “A small donations can go a long way for them.” Albury/Wodonga Ulysses Club president Rex Beard said over 50 Ulysses club members turned up to contribute to the smooth running of the Border Bike Fest last year. “There are 100 national Ulysses
Club members on the Border and over 50 members turned up for the Border Bike Fest,” Mr Beard said. “It was quite a good figure we raised even though the numbers were down on the bikes and the patron through the gate last year, but in considering that it was a good effort.”
Interchange manager Jan Bence said she was exceptionally excited to receive the donation of $1500 on behalf of the program, which supports children with a disability through the support of volunteers. “We will put the donation towards our volunteer recognition evening
Gould calls time on council By MONIQUE KUZEFF ONE of the longest serving woman councillors in Australian local government history, highly respected and decorated Albury councillor Patricia Gould announced her retirement last week. Ms Gould was elected in 1974 and she spend almost 42 years on council. She held the position of mayor on five separate occasions contributing extraordinary ser-
vice to the council and to Albury over four decades. Mayor Henk Van de Ven paid tribute to Cr Gould and acknowledged her exuberant service. “Patricia has been an institution in local government and has served on a number of committees both within the council and externally,” Cr Van de Ven said. “She served as a director of the Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation and the Trinity Anglican

She was not only instrumental in establishing Albury Family
Day Care but is also a life-member for three swimming clubs, the Ovens and Murray District Swimming Association and three community groups, and dedicated many years to assisting the Upper Murray Regional Library, Cr Van de Ven said. “We will be eternally grateful to Cr Gould for her contribution to the city, council and our community and we wish her the very best in her retirement.”

Campaign counts the cost By MONIQUE KUZEFF A REGIONAL launch of the Costwatch program was held in Wodonga last week - where Wodonga residents were among Victorians being asked to provide feedback on the pressures and issues they face with the increasing cost-of-living in the state. Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy along with Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Cost of Living Michael Gidley visited Wodonga to kick-off the State Coalition’s Costwatch program, which aims to reveal the cost-ofliving issues for households and businesses to enable government to take steps towards solutions in reducing those costs.
Mr Guy said the feedback provided by Victorians would enable government to approach policy development in a way that will positively impact peoples lives into the future. “There is no doubt that the costof-living is becoming a huge issue right across Victoria so we want to do all we can to get feedback from ordinary Victorians as to what they think can be done to make their lives easier, and what government can do to help,� Mr Guy said. “Whether it’s paying registration quarterly or changes to the taxation system - small to large we are willing to take people's feedback. Mr Guy said regional Victori-
ans had shown a particular focus on health services, education, and logistics and transport. “There are a whole range of issues that are affecting people these days, particularly housing affordability,� he said. “Transport has also become much more expensive in terms of getting around Victoria.� In the coming weeks, Mr Guy and Mr Gidley will be travelling around the sate in a Costwatch mobile van to speak to other regional Victorians about the concerns they have on the cost-of-living and how government can improve on their situations. Mr Gidley said he has so far received an extraordinary response
to the program from residents throughout the state. So far we’ve touched on health costs, utility costs, council rate costs and the range of bills households are facing with the incomes they have,� Mr Gidley said. “The pressures are taking their toll on Wodonga residents and we want to provide Wodonga residents with the opportunity to let us know how the cost-of-living pressures are impacting their households whether it’s their electricity bills or whether or not it’s their utilities.� Mr Gidley encouraged Wodonga residents to voice their concerns on the Costwatch website.

Open to opportunities By MONIQUE KUZEFF A LONG-term vision for regional Australia was discussed last week in Ettamogah between Federal Farrer MP Sussan Ley and Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack on the opportunities that would revamp the regional development policy. Regional communities are being asked to take the driver’s seat in crafting a fresh regional development policy that would focus on opportunity growth through nurturing innovation and investing in infrastructure. Mr McCormack said the fundamental input by local community leaders, regional businesses, academic institutions and regional Australians was central to the Federal Government's plans to identify local needs of regional Australians. He said the ongoing dialogue and partnerships with regional communities were crucial as the Australian economy responded to change. “The Australian Government has invested heavily in the future of our regions, including our record $50 billion infrastructure program with projects specifically targeting productivity improvements and creating regional jobs,� Mr McCormack said. “During these discussions (in regional communities), I will be outlining existing government programs and how they can benefit regional areas, as well as engaging local communities to see examples and hear ideas on how we can improve policy settings to make our regions even stronger.� Ms Ley said Mr McCormack’s visit wa a great opportunity to showcase what the region had and needed. “We have the confidence to invest in infrastructure including rails so we’ve got great facilities coming in line with these next developments,� Ms Ley said. “The feelings of confidence are going up and there are really good opportunities for national and international companies to relocate here and do business. “There are also great opportunities for all local companies to come up with good ideas for development.� Ms Ley said expansion and development of

They have clients and customers all over the world. “We know the exchange of ideas that come from people that live and work here and who have a global business is important - the flow and effect of that is substantial.� Mr McCormack said it was an exciting time for regional Australia where people were poised to take advantage of the opportunities of the future.

New PM, no different IT WAS said recently that Malcolm Turnbull is the same as Tony Abbott only in a better-tailored suit. What has Mr Turnbull actually done since coming into office? Many fine words, but prevarication on such things as the Plebiscite on gay marriage and on the republic. Do electors in the Indi Electorate realise that by voting National or Liberal, they will be continuing most of Tony Abbott’s unfair policies? Mr Turnbull might be still experiencing his ‘ honeymoon’ period, but in fact, little has changed since last year. The Conservatives in Parliament are still in control. The abhorrent and inhumane detention of asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Islands, including nearly 100 children, is a blot on our national reputation. Our international name has been harmed by these policies. Let us not forget the treatment of our Indigenous people, and such policies as stripping citizenship from certain persons, without the right to a trial by jury. The less well-off, the sick and state school children, have all been treated poorly by this government. Any rise to the GST would also make life harder. The current Member for Indi Cathy McGowan has served the electorate well and deserves your support. She should be retuned at the next election. Wendy Hebbard, New Gisborne

Helping out for 60 years By MONIQUE KUZEFF
Albury’s Murray Gardens Retirement Village was happy to provide an afternoon tea and presentation where friends, family and fellow Red Cross volunteers gathered to award Eve with her coveted Gilt Rosette, to signify her 60 years of loyalty with the organisation. Throughout her time with the Red Cross, Eve has done "all sorts of things", including catering for events, knitting rugs and beanies and contributing her time to carry out fundraisers to raise money for those in need. Bungowannah Red Cross branch president Olive Shearer organised the celebratory gathering at Murray Gardens and
AFTER spending two thirds of her life volunteering with Red Cross, it is no wonder Eve Ross, 89, has been recognised for her extraordinary service. Eve first joined the Red Cross while living in Brocklesby on a farm 25 kilometres north of Albury. Having lived in a town with a small population, Eve realised there was little to do out there in her spare time, and so she was inspired to join the charity and give back to the community. “I wanted to join either the Red Cross or the Country Women’s Association and my husband said I could do one or the other, not both,� Eve said.
believed that Eve deserved the honour for the number of people she had helped and the volume of money she raised over the years. “Over the past 60 years, Eve has raised a phenomenal amount of money and helped so many people in need,� Ms Shearer said. “This recognition is very much deserved.� Eve continues to volunteer and bring her passionate attitude and warming presence to Red Cross and believed her work has been its own reward over the past 60 years. “It’s a very worthwhile organisation and I’ve enjoyed my time there immensely,� Eve said.
ALTHOUGH the saying goes that ‘one size fits all’, it’s not always the case, according to Federal Indi MP Cathy McGowen. Farming families in rural and regional Victoria who have been utilising mobile childcare services, established in Wodonga since the 1990s, may soon be left out on the new childcare service funding that will be in play from 1 July. The outlook is that the new childcare service funding will only cater for centre-based childcare services, meaning that rural communities, including Chiltern and Mount Beauty, who don’t have a childcare centre will miss out. Ms McGowen said socio-economics had been well considered in the review for changes to childcare services, but geological location had not been. “I’ve been calling the government to guarantee that country families won’t be worse off and they won’t be charged more money for being in a community that doesn’t have a childcare centre,� Ms McGowen said. “We’ve got a really good service provided by Wodonga Community College and this mobile childcare service is working really hard. “One size doesn’t fit everybody so we’ve got to pay attention to the special services that work in rural areas and we need to fund them.� Ms McGowen said over 425 children and 120 families that access mobile childcare services will be impacted if mobile childcare services weren’t recognised in the funding. “Child care is one of those fundamental service that enable people to go to work, to study and to do other activities as well as being a parent,� she said. “Nowadays, there is often two income earners in a family and childcare services are important not only for the children and parents but for

NSW and Victoria also jumped on board and so it became a cross-border, three government mobile childcare service,� she said. “I’d really like to see it grow more.�

Wodonga mayor Anna Speedie enjoyed the tiki bar at the Hawaiian-themed library on Friday. 149931
Give thought to fun times By MONIQUE KUZEFF
The exhibition focuses on the issues and opportunities confronting disabled indigenous people. to unacceptable high rates of disability within our First Nation communities,“ she said. Unfinished Business is supported by the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, First Peoples Disabil-
ity Network, The Fred Hollows Foundation, Outback Academy Red Dust Heelers, Simpsons Solicitors and Primary Communication. To find out more about the exhibition, visit unfinishedbusiness.net.au
AN exotic Hawaiian theme smothered the Wodonga library on Friday 5 February, transforming it into a quirky tiki bar that served-up tropicana cocktails amid a backdrop of palm trees. This could only have meant one thing - Friday on My Mind is back! Games of limbo and islandstyle mini-golf were enjoyed among Wodonga locals and even Wodonga mayor Anna Speedie got into the spirit.
Outside The Cube Wodonga Courtyard, the community was treated to the fine humming tune and expressive vocals of Sal Kimber and her band The Rollin’ Wheel, who were supported by Melbourne-based Americana singer and songwriter Brooke Russell. Things got creepy with a side-show of spooky surrealism by Nightmare inside a horse float, which also added a flavour to the evening. Pop-out puppets, miniature golden skeletons, sensory ef-
fects and runaway tongues were discovered climbing up the ramp in to the horse float. Laser tag was held in the auditorium, making it a first for Fridays on My Mind. A challenging but enjoyable maze in a room of semi-darkness filled with smoke, lighting and music made for another fun activity that was enjoyed by the crowds. And of course the installation of Nexus by local artist MariJana Van Zantern was on display at Arts Space Wodonga for the community to enjoy.

ON Saturday 6 February, about 30 people with disabilities from Australia Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities opened a photographic exhibition by award-winning artist Belinda Mason. The exhibition, Unfinished Business, addresses the issues and opportunities confronting disabled Indigenous people and will be showcasing the photographs until 20 March. Each person’s story is intertwined with Australia’s political and social history, which has contributed to high rates of disability in Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities. Unfinished Business has toured internationally, opening at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, and has been shown in New York, the Northern Territory and Sydney. After Albury, the exhibition will be shown in Perth, Alice Springs, Wagga, Dubbo and Cairns. Ms Mason said the exhibition was titled Unfinished Business because she felt this was an apt description of the situation for Indigenous Australians with disabilities. “The effect of colonisation, racism, fetal alcohol syndrome, war veterans, the stolen generation, incarceration, mining and atomic testing have contributed

Tips for using caddy liners
•
Please note that a new Collection Calendar for 2016 is now available (the previous green 2015-2016 calendar that finishes in March had an error from February onwards).
Residents have been thanked for embracing the introduction of organics recycling. Here are some additional tips to getting the most out of the compostable bin-liners that are used in the kitchen caddy. • The roll of compostable lime green kitchen caddy bin liners should last for 12 months based on using two to three liners per week. • The liners are designed for kitchen scraps only. • For pet waste, perhaps wrap waste in newspapers or place directly in the green-lidded organics bin.
•
Please cut out this calendar and use as a reference for the weekly schedule, or alternatively download a copy from council’s website at wodonga.vic.gov.au or go to the Halve Waste website at halvewaste.com.au/ organics/collection-schedule/ where you can enter your street address and check the schedule.

Lawn clippings and garden material should be placed directly in the bin. If preparing meals for a large group, consider putting all scraps into newspaper, wrapping and placing in the green-lidded organics bin. If preparing meals with shellfish which can create bulky waste, consider wrapping them in newspaper.
lidded organics bin. Scraps can be gathered in a bowl and dropped directly into the green-lidded organics bin. Additional rolls of the suitable 25 lime green kitchen caddy bin liners can be collected from your local council. Ensure that you do not purchase bags labelled as ‘biodegradable’, these do not meet the strict requirements of being compostable for the organics collections service and are considered contamination. A new roll of compostable bin liners will be delivered to your home every 12 months.

Litter hygiene There are a number of ways the community can get involved in keeping Wodonga looking great and litter free. This can start at home with you and your weekly bin collection days. By keeping bin lids closed, you can reduce the spread of litter down the streets and into the city’s open spaces through the wind blowing. This can also stop birds, cats and rodents getting into the bins and spreading litter around. If too much rubbish is preventing the lid closing, litter may spill out when the garbage truck is emptying the bin. By removing bins after rubbish is collected, you can have a beautiful looking street of green grass and flowering trees and plants to look at instead of rubbish bins. By keeping bins clean, the bin can look as good as it can. A clean bin also reduces nasty smells and also helps control flies and bees being attracted to them.

More was on the menu than a good lunch ON SATURDAY 6 February The Border Ovarian Awareness Group (BOCAG) hosted a successful luncheon at the Commercial Club in Albury. More than 90 people attended the event including various distinguished guests and speakers, and Federal Health Minister Sussan Ley who formally opened the meeting. Topics discussed were on findings and studies on the prevention of ovarian cancer in women, the importance of genetic testing, and the importance of clinical trials in deciding the best treatment for individuals. The guests were also taken on a guided tour of the new Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre which will provide world class and modern care for the region. The centre is expected to open this year. Border Medical Oncology Group cancer specialist Dr Christopher Steer, whose group conducts world class research into ovarian cancer treatment, received a large donation of more than $108,000, which was raised by BOCAG to cover the group’s research costs over the next three years.

February Awareness Month

Fresh insight into cancer fight MORE than 90 guests heard the latest research into the fight against cancer at an event opened by Health Minister Sussan Ley. The Border Ovarian Cancer Awareness Group (BOCAG) event was held on Saturday 6 February at the Albury Commercial Club. The event aimed to raise awareness of ovarian cancer and discuss and learn about the current and relevant research that is being undertaken. Other distinguished guests included Tim Fischer and his wife Judy Brewer, Indi MP Cathy McGowan, Wodonga Mayor Anna Speedie and councillor David Thurley who represented Albury Council with his wife Susan. Professor David Bowtell, Senior Principal Research Fellow at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney and Head of the Cancer Genomics and Genetics Program at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, was the first guest speaker of the afternoon. Professor Bowtell said research into the genetics and studying the DNA of ovarian cancers has led to a breakthrough in understanding that ovarian cancer patients should be treated individually because two patients with identical cancers may require quite different treatments due to their different genetics. Ovarian cancer is a series of distinct diseases with different cells of origin, mostly not from the ovary, and are all very different. Future treatments will depend upon knowing the genetics of each patient. Professor Bowtell leads the largest molecular epidemiological study of ovarian cancer in the world, which commenced in 2001. The findings of this study could assist in better survival of women with ovarian cancer. Genetic testing of all patients with a family history of ovarian, breast or bowel cancer is essential because preventative surgery can reduce the risks by up to 90 per cent. He said genetic testing guidelines should be changed. Research is currently exploring the use of immunotherapies as an adjunct or alternative to chemotherapy, or for patients who don’t respond to conventional treatment. The second speaker was Dr Robyn Sayer, a women’s pelvic cancer specialist surgeon from Sydney. Dr Sayer also spoke about the importance of genetic testing and the benefits of having complicated surgery done in major cancer centres in the capital cities because of improved outcomes and long-term survival. Little has changed for ovarian cancer survival in 60 years but with research into genetic risks and early detection this will reduce the dreadful mortality of this “silent” disease. About three quarters of women present with advanced cancer which results in most dying from their disease within five years, despite surgery and chemotherapy. If a woman has an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer, preventative methods, including being on the oral contraceptive pill, even when not needed for contraception, reduce the risk of

Removing the ovaries and the fallopian tubes after child bearing is complete reduces the risk by 90. Dr Sayer encouraged general practitioners to take family histories of all cancers into account to decide on genetic testing, but only about 10 per cent of ovarian cancers are potentially preventable. Better screening tests are required. Dr Christopher Steer, a local cancer specialist with Border Medical Oncology Group, was the final speaker who explained the importance of clinical trials in deciding the best treatments. His group conducts world-class research into ovarian cancer treatment. This local research has been given a huge boost by the donation of more than $108,000 raised by BOCAG for research staff over the next three years. Further funds were pledged by Elders Real Estate and a tandem skydive is being held on Saturday 27 February and Anna Speedie has booked to jump! There were more than 50 donated prizes raffled and many thanks went to all the businesses and individuals who contributed to them.
The luncheon raised more much needed funds for research by local groups and the Garvan Institute. Many thanks also went to Wodonga Chamber of Commerce for its generous support of BOCAG. The Kelsey Watts Memorial Research Grant was launched at the luncheon by Kelsey’s mother, BOCAG president Heather Watts. Following the luncheon, a guided tour of the new Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre was conducted for the visitors, some members of the BOCAG Committee and the winner of the lucky door prize! This amazing building will provide worldclass care for all the people who live in the region, in modern and comforting facilities for many years to come. It is on schedule to open later this year. It is hoped that another fundraising luncheon can be held next year with inspirational guests speaking about recent breakthroughs which will improve the treatment of all cancers, not just ovarian cancers. This will keep the community, doctors and nurses up to date with the latest information.

Clearly better care WITH Evolve’s own orthodontist Dr John Brabant being a researcher and lecturer on Invisalign at summits and conferences across the globe, it’s no wonder that Evolve Orthodontics is one of the leading Invisalign practices in Australia. For all those boys, girls and young adults out there struggling with self-confidence and self-esteem, you will be glad to hear that there is indeed a solution to your silent suffering. With the help offered at Evolve Orthodontics customers will be able to transform that awkward grin into a sunny smile. Invisalign, a clear alternative to braces, involves a custom-made series of aligners that are smoothn making them comfortable in the mouth. The aligners are changed by the client only every two weeks where they gradually and painlessly shift the teeth into place based on the plans produced by the orthodontist. Having performed a high number of treatments, the business was the first dental practice to receive the Telstra Australian Business Award in 2012 and following that a 2014 Diamond Provider award for Invisalign practice. Orthodontist John Brabant has over 30 years of experience in straightening teeth and improving bites so clients can rest assure they will be treated kindly. Dr Brabant said his recent Invisalign research was on functional appliances which aided the growth of the lower jaw. “In some kids, their lower jaw is not well-developed so while they are still growing we can actually alter the jaw like you would a foot in orthopaedics,” Dr Brabant said. “At the end of the plate treatment
Evolve Orthodontics has won the Telstra Australian Business Award 2012 and Diamond Providers Invisalign award 2014. 149789 you can see significant results and enjoy great benefits from the outcome.” Dr Brabant said the plates are on for about six to nine months and then Invisalign is used to straighten the teeth. “We use a 3-D scanning machine, which takes hundreds of little photos of the mouth and creates an image. “Within 20 minutes it gets sent to the United States for review where I then organise what it is I want done,” he said.
Dr Brabant is the founder of Carevan in 2009, which are vans that drive around different communities from Monday to Friday to feed the homeless. He said the Carevans enabled school kids to volunteer and help out those people in need where they get to spend sessions cooking in a commercial kitchen and develop compassion for homeless persons.

ADVERTORIAL
Albury Orthodontist named one of Australia's First Diamond Invisalign Providers. Dr Brabant recognised as one of the most experienced Invisalign Providers in the country. Albury Orthodontist Dr John Brabant has been awarded the Invisalign Diamond Provider status making him one of Australia's most experienced Invisalign providers. Invisalign is the clear alternative to braces that uses a series of clear, virtually invisible and removable aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired position, without the use of metal or wires. It combines 21st century technology and revolutionary manufacturing to customise a treatment for each individual patient. “Technology is changing the way we do things and the way we straighten teeth is no exception,” Dr Brabant said. “Now there's a virtually invisible alternative to braces, like Invisalign that make teeth straightening a more appealing prospect for a whole new market of image conscious professionals. Gone are the days when orthodontics was just reserved for teenagers, now people can feel more confident about the process of improving their smile at all ages.” Dr Brabant has been treating patients with Invisalign for many years at his practice Evolve Orthodontics based in Albury & Wangaratta and prides himself on using the latest orthodontic techniques to continue delivering the high treatment standards and personal service he offers patients and their families. Dr Brabant now lectures internationally on Invisalign to other orthodontists. There are four primary benefits of Invisalign: 1. Invisalign is nearly invisible – you can straighten your teeth without everyone knowing. 2. Invisalign is removable – you can eat and drink what you want during treatment ; you can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. 3. Invisalign is comfortable – there are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation. No metal or wires also means you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting adjustments. 4. Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start – so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. Invisalign is appropriate for treating adults and teens, to arrange a no-obligation consultation to discuss your treatment needs (no matter how severe or minor). Please telephone 02 6021 1288.

Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Robert Maclay has been working in the health profession since 1993. He first started in the health and fitness industry before moving into massage therapy and was then introduced to Chinese medical massage (Tuina/Anmo) and Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Mr Maclay believes Traditional Chinese Medicine is an integral part of the constitutional health system. “It complements and supplements Western medicine,” Mr Maclay said. “We’ve got to look at the whole person, the whole picture. It’s not just a matter of having eczema, with X marks the spot - it’s deeper as to what causes your body to be in that position. “That’s where Traditional Chinese Medicine can help out.”

Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF With autumn just around the corner, it’s time to start preparing for the onset of lung and skin issues, allergies or fevers that are stimulated from the season. “The lungs are the main point of interest for immunity and skin related issues in the Chinese medicine diagnostics,” Mr Maclay said. “Lungs, asthmas, hay fevers, and skin conditions need to be treated now. If these conditions affect you in the spring, autumn is the best opportunity of getting your body prepared and to help offset its reaction, because it will be too late if it hits you in spring. “Hay fever is a good example. We would diagnose the type of hay fever depending on the type of person. As we could have four or five diagnosis depending on the person’s constitution. “The hay fever could be due to a damp, heat or cold condition or could
be a combination of those three. With all being treated differently. “With pimples, we could treat it as a heat and dampness depending on your specific diagnosis. For instance, you could be going through puberty and you’ve got too much heat and oil in the body, causing dampness and offsetting pimples so we would treat that by pulling the heat and damp out, with herbs and/or acupuncture,” Mr Maclay said. Alkemy Acupuncture and Apothecary treats and heals each individual with a combination of ancient practice and modern research. Whether suffering from allergies, insomnia, chronic pain or headaches, Alkemy Acupuncture and Apothecary may be the solution you’ve been seeking.

Beating the hurtful habits of a lifetime IT’S obvious. A lot of people love repetition and traditions because they feel comfortable in familiar situations. In 2007, a study found that nearly 90 per cent of the participants failed to keep their goals throughout the year despite the fact that over 50 per cent were adamant of success. It’s not easy changing habits let alone changing your life. It’s a big step and can often be overwhelming as the insecurity of being in a new situation can envelope the consciousness and set-off anxiety. Many people know that a habit like ‘smoking’ is one that can’t easily be stopped by self-will. Attempts to lose weight, save money or call the parents more often more than rarely fails. It’s like chasing your tail around tree, a psychological story that is difficult to understand - but Riverina Mind Design knows the reasons behind the failing to see these things through. Riverina Mind Design believes that these changes can be achieved but you will need to set a positive goal. Riverina Mind Designs Hypnotherapist Wayne Moffat said that when people find a goal that is worth attaining then that long-term success can be achieved. “To achieve those goals, first work out that positive goal that you just have to achieve,” Mr Moffat said. “That positive goal that you can

Monica’s Cafe & Restaurant IT is apparent that in our community more and more people are being diagnosed with food allergies, intolerance and food related diseases. Gluten poses as one of the major dietary issues facing people in the community, followed closely by dairy and lactose intolerance. Fructose malabsorption is also becoming more common. Eating out at restaurants and cafes can be frustrating if the staff do not fully comprehend the importance of avoiding cross contamination. Many menus do not cater precisely for these dietary conditions. Many people including young children can suffer from coeliac disease and are adversely afected by incorrect handling of foods, catering equipment and cross contamination. With a menu that offers gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian options, Monica's Cafe and Restaurant constantly goes above and beyond to make your dining experience memorable.
We cater for all occassions including gluten free and vegetarian options

A date night weepie, only if you choose THE CHOICE PG Main Cast: Benjamin Walker, Teresa Palmer, Maggie Grace Genre Drama, Romance Running Time: 111 MIN IF you’re looking for the perfect movie to take your Valentine to then The Choice might just be well, the choice. However this is only if you are sitting up the back and have little intention of watching the actual film. The Choice is the latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparkes novel (you know the guy who brought us The Notebook and other notable romantic weepies) and the timing of it’s release is probably no co-incidence. This is a definite “date-night” movie, romantic and weepie with plenty of “aaaawww” moments. Unfortunately it is so laden with “aaawww” moments that it is more of a clich¨¦-fest than an actual film. The Choice is the story of Travis (Benjamin Walker) and Gabby (Teresa Palmer) who first meet as neighbors in a small coastal town in the American south.
Travis and his dog and their single chair. She’s a medical student already in a loving relationship with a handsome, chiselled and successful young doctor; he a country good-old boy who’s is a bit of a ladies man, destined to never settle down. She wants to quietly study by the coast and he wants to barbecue, entertain and play obnoxiously loud music.
When they meet there are fireworks - so much so that his sister observes that “you just met your wife”. Cue the country fair, rowing across the water and all of those other beautiful cliches that keep readers coming back to Sparkes’ novels (and episodes of Days Of Our Lifes). Continued on page 15

The best in the country By MONIQUE KUZEFF WHILE learning to juggle motherhood and touring, Melinda Schneider is excited to be coming back to the Border for another show - but this time she’ll be performing the greatest country hits of all time from the album Great Women Of Country. The album features songs written by or performed by some of the most loved women of country including Dolly Parton, Olivia Newton-John, Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline and more. This unmissable show will be held at the Albury Commercial Club on 19 February and anyone who likes a good country music sing-along to the greatest country hits of all time alongside winner of six Golden Guitars Ms Schneider, well then, what are you waiting for? Tickets can be purchased at the Albury Commercial Club or on their website www.commercialclubalbury. com.au and are $29 senior/concession and $39 adults. Ms Schneider, who has been in the music industry practically her whole life, said the biggest highlight is being able to do what loves and make a living from it. “I’ve been so lucky to be able to continue doing what I’m doing,” Ms Schneider said.
“I’ve been a singer and performer since I was three-years-old and I first recorded on my mum’s album when I was eight.” She said she was absolutely excited to be returning to Albury to perform again. “I love Albury - there are a lot of country music fans there,” Ms Schneider said. “I always enjoy hanging out after the shows, and I’ve already made quite a few friends in Albury who are looking forward to my returning.” Ms Schneider said the best thing about performing was being able make people feel different emotions. “I think connecting with people and making that emotional connection with them is the most exciting part of performing, “These songs from the Great Women Of Country album are very emotional and they are true stories, so a lot of people can relate to them.” With an authentic and skilled country music band backing Ms Schneider, 19 February will definitely make for a night of incredible music. With 22 songs on the whole album and two halves to the show, come along and sing along to the best country music songs ever writing and meet and greet Melinda Schneider and her band.

From page 13 And then of course there’s a life altering incident in the third act that turns the whole romance thing on it’s head and one of our protagonists is forced to make “a choice”. Something that is kind of telegraphed at the beginning without giving the actual “choice” away (shame really would have made for a more mercifully shorter movie). The main cast may have been chosen for their ability to look like they’ve just come out of a Mattel toy box Walker (former son-in-law of Meryl Streep) is the classic hero - chiselled jaw, body toned within an inch of it’s life, slow southern drawl - hair of a Ken doll while Palmer (best-known as Julie in Warm Bodies) is petite and blonde with a pout to stop any man in his tracks. Interestingly Walker was, apparently, the first choice to play The Beast in Xmen - but pulled out due to other commitments instead Palmer’s Warm Body co-star Nicholas Hoult got the role instead. It’s probably the most interesting fact about The Choice. Perhaps the moment when the movie truly jumped the shark was when a dog had puppies - delivered by Travis (who is a vet and not the mechanic you expect him to be) and although newborn they all have their eyes open and don’t even seem to be the right breed. I think that kind of sums this one up to be honest - By TANIA PHILLIPS

Albury Wodonga’s Property Guide
Resolve those property goals FORTY per cent of surveyed Australians said their financial New Year’s resolution was to save for a property, despite a predicted cooling in the real estate market. Popular financial resolutions also include decreasing debts and budgeting. Less popular were plans to save for travel, sort superannuation and spend more. Australia’s love affair with property is set to continue into 2016 despite recent news of a market slow down. Current barriers to the property market, including increased variable mortgage rates and tight credit policies, may cool housing demand but a Yellow Brick Road poll discovered that saving for a first home or investment property makes up 40 per cent of Australia’s financial New Year’s resolutions. Yellow Brick Road spokesperson Lyndsey Douglas said: “In this current environment, you might expect to see property taking a back seat to financial aspirations such as saving and budgeting or consolidating debts. However, the Australian dream of owning property and the security that comes with it - is still dominant.” Other top financial New Year’s resolutions were to decrease debts (25 per cent), to budget (15 per cent), save for travel (10 per cent) and get superannuation sorted (7 per cent). Then there was a small percentage that said in 2016 they were going to just enjoy their disposal income (2 per cent). “The property market is changing rapidly with some cooling predicted in previously hot areas. The upside is that it might ease some of the affordability pressures faced by first home buyers as competition from

other buyers declines. The challenge though is increased rates and tougher calls by lenders who are having to turn more prospective borrowers down based on their ability to service their mortgage.” “As an aspiring property buyer in 2016, you may find it harder to qualify for a loan in this environment. A mortgage broker can help navigate these new constraints by finding you a lender so that you can realise your property dream.” “You can improve your likelihood of securing a loan by saving a bigger deposit or buying a more affordable property. Despite stricter lending conditions, our poll results certainly show that people are not deterred from following their dreams of owning property,” Ms Douglas said. Yellow Brick Road believes with the start of the New Year those who set themselves property savings goals can make them a reality but they need to take time to make a plan. “Financial dreams don’t just happen. “You need goals and action items that you can achieve on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. “I’d also encourage you to be honest with yourself and (decide) if you can be accountable on your own or if you need a money savvy friend or financial adviser to work with you.” “I’d encourage everyone to take advantage of the New Year to reset and make some positive changes that will help you secure a better financial future for you and your family,” she said.

Place where community grows By MONIQUE KUZEFF ESTATES like Elmwood are often bigdraw cards for professionals, singles and retirees alike because of the balance between the solitude and community it offers. But there is something stand-out about Elmwood’s neighbourhood. While you have your own privacy to enjoy, Elmwood is not a lonely place. This week we will highlight the third part of a 12-week series on what makes Elmwood recognised as one of Australia’s best housing developments. One of the features of Elmwood is its community garden that is centrally positioned in the neighbourhood and which flourishes with vegetables and herbs for Elmwood locals to enjoy. Vegetables are abundant and you’ll be surprised how many people are already on board with caring for it - from workers to retirees, and doctors to army officers. The garden offers a diversity of vegetables and herbs including tomato, eggplant, cucumber, lettuce, rosemary, basil, beans, spring onion, carrot and rhubarb. But it has an underlying purpose. It represents a meeting spot for all those who wish to get outside, meet new people, and take some fresh vegies home. Teresa Bennett, one of the gardeners, said the community has come together to talk and learn about gardening. “Some know nothing and some know a lot, we just come and potter
Elmwood garden has grown a true community spirit. 149830 about and get some nice vegies to take home. “In fact, last week I came to get some tomatoes and someone else came along to get some basil, so we had a chat and then more people walked passed and joined in.”
The garden, established not even a year ago, has proven to be big hit in the Elmwood estate, so while it is still new and fresh it welcomes the young and old to care for it if they wish. It gives people a reason to meet each other. Ms Bennett said the informality and
Picture: TERESA BENNETT come-and-go aspect sets it apart from a committee-driven garden and truly brings to life the spirit of a community. “It’s created a good sense of community, and I know everyone bangs on about that but it’s true - it really is true. I haven’t experienced that in other
places I’ve lived. I really appreciate it, it means a lot to me.“ With long garden benches to be put in soon, Elmwood locals can bring a book, take a seat, and enjoy the serene atmosphere of the Elmwood community garden.

On the road race of truth By PAUL INGWERSEN LOCAL racing kicked off again last week with the race of truth also known as a time trial. The Bended Elbow Cycling team organises a 16 kilometre timetrial along Old Barnawartha Road starting at 6.15pm on Thursday, with registration from 5.45pm. This gives a chance to build strength and gradually improve time against the clock. Many new riders have taken the opportunity to try racing for the first time at the timetrial and last Thursday was no exception. A strong easterly breeze was blowing the backs of riders on the start line and those who went hard from the beginning were rewarded with relatively quick times as they pushed through the pain for the return eight kilometre leg into the wind. Lachlin Hutchins posted the fastest time of the night covering the course in a quick 21:57, going a full 20 seconds faster than Matt Clarke who is coming off some solid form with a top 10 in the national road championships in Ballarat. In a timetrial the seconds count, and they come from paying attention to every piece of detail. While disc wheels, tear drop helmets, and skin suits help, the real difference is how aero riders can become to beat the wind resistance. Lachlin showed some classy style and a new position courtesy of a bike fit from OsteoHealth had him down low and the air curving over his back while maintaining a high power output of around 350 watts for the entire course. The Timetrial supports all
Lindsay French has reflected on his consistent improvement over the series. riders, with a standard bike category for those who choose not to go full aero on a specialist timetrial rig. Terry Halpin was another big strong rider having his first attempt over the course and took out the standard category, in 26:24, with Shane Flint in his first road race, not far behind. The coming weeks should see multiple personal best times as riders build their fitness towards the autumn road racing which kicks off on 28 February with the first round of the Riverina interclub series and the Tolland classic handicap around Gregadoo in Wagga Wagga. One of the regular time trial riders in the Bended Elbow series had some high profile success during the week. Albury’s Neil Van Der Ploeg took out third place in the prologue of the Herald Sun Tour
finishing ahead of 2015 Tour de France winner Chris Froome. A prologue is, basically, a short time trial and at 2.1 km around tight roads in Melbourne’s Southbank it takes a high level of power and acceleration. While there is plenty of racing coming up, for those looking for a solid training ride, or just to test their own limits and to support a charity, the annual Lake Hume Cycle Challenge is on Saturday 27 February. The charity ride offers everything from the full Granya Grand at 131km to shorter distances, including kids events at five, 10 and 15km. It is one of the best cycling days in Albury Wodonga for any level of cyclist. More information is available at https://www.facebook. com/lakehumecycle.
