DETAILED PLANNING FOR THE BRIGHT HEALTH PRECINCT ON TRACK

BY BRODIE EVERIST beverist@ nemedia.com.au

THE $1.52m Bright Health Precinct detailed planning phase is well underway with the Victorian Health Building Authority (VHBA) in a process that is expected to take another six months.

Capital planning works are being undertaken to help the VHBA develop the detailed plan, including a detailed photo submission on the Hawthorn Village facilities and site visits by planners.

Just last Thursday members of the VHBA visited Alpine Health to view the precinct site.

“My sense is that we’re deeper into the process of planning with the government around our needs than we ever have been,” Alpine Health CEO Nick Shaw said.

While he couldn’t offer a timeline around the project, he said both the State Government and the Opposition had shown interest in the need for the health precinct, and pointed to the $1.5 million the Victorian Government had supplied for a detailed planning project.

The VHBA is responsible for the planning and delivery of the Victorian Government’s health infrastructure program.

Their work includes planning

and building new hospitals and ambulance stations, aged care and mental health facilities, redeveloping existing hospital facilities, as well as replacing and upgrading engineering infrastructure and medical equipment.

Mr Shaw also said designs for the aged care building are being influenced by the findings of the Royal Commission into Aged Care, which recommended more ‘small household’ models of accommodation.

“The thinking around aged care, and what it needs to look like, is changing rapidly,” he said.

But according to Mr Shaw the initial designs remain a “strong

guide” to the planning of the precinct.

“Fundamentally it’s an ageing-inplace facility that can accommodate care and medical infrastructure and create a home like environment for people,” he said.

“Inevitably, as we refine our thinking over time, which is what this process is seeking to do, we’ll see some change to that.”

The Bright Health Precinct development seeks to co-locate hospital, aged care, medical and allied health services, and health education services in Bright and surrounds.

It currently calls for a new 35 bed high care aged care facility with potential for additional

units leading to 49 beds.

It also include refurbishment of the existing hospital bed-based services and nursing facilities with provision of an expanded range of allied and specialist services.

The existing Hawthorn Village will be adapted for re-use as Alpine Institute’s health education facility, and accommodation centre to support the provision of international nurse education and health worker accommodation.

Alpine Health is encouraging the community to show its support for the project to help move it to the next stage of development, either by signing a petition or writing to Members of Parliament or relevant ministers.

Spring outlook shouldn’t lead to complacency for fire season preparations, warns local CFA

By BRODIE EVERIST EMERGENCY officers are urging Alpine Shire residents not the become complacent this fire season.

According to the Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for spring, below–average fire danger is expected in North East Victoria because of above average rainfall over the last 12 months and an above average rainfall outlook.

“But that doesn’t mean there’s no danger,” officer for the Ovens Valley group of fire brigades Michael Freudenstein said.

“We may get rain every three or four weeks, but in those times you do get grass drying off – so there is still potential for fire.”

Mr Freudenstein also warned that due to the wet summers over the past two years people may not be as prepared for bushfires.

Normal bushfire potential is expected in Victoria this spring, except for parts of central and eastern Victoria where the potential is below–normal.

Country Fire Authority chief officer Jason Heffernan said Victoria is one of the most bushfire–prone areas in the world and even a normal fire season can present the risk of dangerous fires.

“Prepare your property ahead of this year’s fire season to minimise the chance of damage during a fire, even if you plan to leave early,” he said.

“Make sure you and everyone in your household knows what to do on hot, dry and windy days when fires can start and spread quickly.”

Artists rejoice in hall’s makeover THE furnishings are a little dated and dusty after a new wood floor was installed, but local artists are already envisaging the renovated Myrtleford Memorial Hall and seeing the performances that will be held there.

It’s going to be great,” local musician Terry Lockwood said.

“I love what this is going to be.”

Last Wednesday the hall was open for a visit from Victorian Minister for Creative Industries, Steve Dimopoulos, who announced $150,000 in funding from Creative Victoria for the refurbishment of the hall.

This funding is in addition to contributions from Bushfire Recovery Victoria, Regional Development Victoria and the Alpine Shire Council.

Mr Lockwood was a paid consultant who outlined initial concepts for the refurbishment, and said he particularly emphasised a flexible model for the hall so it could cater to different community needs.

“It’s important to match the audience with the space this is quite flexible,” he said.

“I envisage times when we want to use the entire space and times we may only use the stage area.”

Mr Lockwood estimated that the hall could house 90 to 100 patrons when the refurbishment is complete, and said it would fill a gap in

BY BRODIE EVERIST beverist@ nemedia.com.au

performance spaces in the town.

“A small venue is a good size, because it means that you’re not having to play to a relatively empty hall,” he said.

Built in 1925 as a soldier’s memorial hall, the building has seen film screenings, dances, balls, theatre and many other uses across it’s nearly 100-year history, but had been largely unused for several years.

Kym Goodman, president of the Myrtleford Theatre Troupe, said she had been advocating for the space to be refurbished.

“It’s been sitting idle for many, many years...and many people that I speak to have said ‘what’s going on with memorial hall?’,” she said.

“Well, if you want to get anything done, you’ve got to squeak a lot.

“So I’ve been in people’s ears about it for a long time.”

Ms Goodman said the space could also be used for workshops and teaching, as well as the performing arts.

“I’d love to see a lot of community workshops here,” she said.

“With the neighbourhood centre next door, these two buildings do really complement each other.”

GROW Myrtleford+ opens inaugural grants for local community projects

OPEN FOR COMMUNITY: The GROW Myrtleford+ committee is opening its inaugural grants round for community projects this Friday with the aim of funding large scale and several small scale community projects. Committee members pictured are(from left) Mick Clarke, Ron Janas, Alan McGuffie, Jim van Geet, Lisa Shute, Clive Walker and Fiona Nicholls.

GROW Myrtleford+ is set to officially launch its inaugural grant round this Friday, to award funds back into the local community.

Since its establishment in late 2021 and launch as a sub-fund of the Into Our Hands Community Foundation in June this year there has been great support from the community, with donations from several families as well as $16,000 raised at the special Nutrien Ivone Agencies cattle sale in Myrtleford in December 2021.

GROW Myrtleford+ committee chair, Fiona Nicholls, said with support from gen-

erous donors, a solid corpus has already been raised, and the committee is ready to launch its inaugural grant round.

“We are thrilled with the support the fund has received so far...our success in fundraising in only one year is a true testament to the giving nature of our community,” she said.

“The committee is excited to start giving back with this, our first grant round.”

Ms Nicholls said the Myrtleford community has received funding directly from Into Our Hands grants in the past for several com-

munity projects, such as seed funding to establish the farmers market, funding for the snakes and ladders mosaic project, as well as several other initiatives in around Myrtleford.

“Having a fund that is ours, that is solely for Myrtleford and the surrounding areas, is an exciting prospect,” she said.

The GROW Myrtleford+ committee is inviting community organisations, nonprofits and charities to apply for funding under its inaugural grants round.

The sub-fund will fund one to two community

scale projects up to $10,000 and several smaller impact grants up to $2500.

Applicant groups are encouraged to call the foundation staff team to discuss their project ahead of making an application.

Grant applications will be open from this Friday, September 2 and will close on Monday, October 17 at 9am.

Decision and outcomes will be announced on Thursday, November 10.

For further details contact Sarah Thompson at sarah_ thompson@intohourhands. com.au or phone 0466 252 866.

Our not so Great Alpine Road: voted “worst” in state THE Nationals’ campaign to find the worst road in Victoria has concluded, with the Great Alpine Road topping the statewide poll by a significant margin.

Ovens Valley MP Tim McCurdy said while many of the complaints were expressed by Gippsland residents on the Bairnsdale side of the mountains, the verdict was “no surprise”.

“The Andrews Labor Government has slashed the roads budget by $215 million over the past two years, leaving regional Victoria to suffer,” he said.

“We know the further away from Melbourne, the less money the government will spend.

“The Great Alpine Road is a major tourist highway from Wangaratta, through the Alpine Shire, and down to Bairnsdale, yet is routinely neglected

by Labor.

“It is already dangerous enough travelling over the mountains, before adding potholes and poor road shoulders to the mix, which can cause damage to vehicles, and is unsafe for drivers.”

Mr McCurdy noted the road is often closed or has major maintenance works ongoing in sections due to landslips and heavy usage.

“There is a very high volume of traffic that goes on the Great Alpine Road daily, with more cars and vans during the snow season, which puts more pressure on maintaining the road,” he said.

“Landslips also present an issue which can close the road and require a lot of work to clean up.

“The government needs to get in and fix all regional roads, instead of the massive spend and waste on tunnels in Melbourne.”

The top 10 worst roads in Victoria: 1.

Great Alpine Road, 2. Princes Highway (various locations), 3. MelbourneLancefield Road, 4. Traralgon-Maffra Road, 5. Paynesville Road, 6. Woolsthorpe-Heywood Road, 7. HeathcoteNagambie Road, 8. Murray Valley Highway (various locations), 9. Western Freeway (various locations), 10. Jerusalem Creek Road.

He is also the chair of St John Ambulance Australia and previous chair of St John Ambulance Victoria.

Alpine Health CEO Nick Shaw said one of the major areas of focus for the board would be the development of Alpine Health’s next service plan, as the current service plan is due to finish in June 2023.

The service plan sets out Alpine Health’s strategic directions and priorities over a five-year period, detailing the level and type of services provided for, and used by the community.

It describes the community’s demonstrated health and

aged care needs, and how Alpine Health will work, both as an organisation and in collaboration with other services, to develop effective integrated health and aged care to meet the community’s needs.

“The board, with our community, will take a really detailed look at the health needs of our communities,” he said.

“We have a really broad scope of service provision, which I think is meeting a lot of our community needs, but there’s no question that it’s really important to reflect on that, to continue to plan around that and find those areas of health improvement that we can focus on.

“It’ll be a really important piece of work, and the board will lead that work.”

MP voice at jobs, skills summit

By RYAN MALCOLM INDEPENDENT Indi MP Helen Haines will seek to address three key deficiencies which have hamstrung the local workforce in recent times, as she represents rural Australia at tomorrow’s federal jobs and skills summit.

She will join leaders in business, union and community sectors at the Canberra summit, which was a

major election promise of incumbent Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, which is set to investigate a host of factors contributing to widespread skill shortages throughout the country.

With housing deficiencies exacerbated by substantial regionalisation throughout the last two years, Dr Haines said it was important to investigate sustainable solutions to keeping skilled

workers in the North East.

“In our patch we have real challenges in the agricultural workforce, rural health workforce - well in every sector really - hospitality, teaching, childcare, aged care,” she said.

“There’s never one solution to these things, we need to come at it from multiple perspectives.

“One of the perspectives that I want to make sure is on

the table is the real need to increase the supply of housing - that creates an additional challenge, where we’ve got an acute shortage in both rental housing and houses to buy.

“We need to have some clever ideas to increase the amount of housing stock that’s available and not just the same old - we need to have a variety, a diversity of housing stock.

“So some medium-density

housing, the opportunity for additional social housing needs to be there as well so we need a broader mix of housing.”

Other matters set to be put forward by Dr Haines include improving opportunities to train and educate local workers, while the nation’s skilled migration program will also come under the spotlight.

Dr Haines travelled to Fiji last month as part of a delegation to investigate the

Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme, which she said could be mutually beneficial for Australia and its nearby islands.

Dr Haines said she would welcome constituent input to seek solutions to Australia’s workforce shortage.

To contact Dr Haines, email helen.haines.mp@ aph.gov.au or visit or call her 117 Murphy Street, Wangaratta office on 5721 7077.

Burglars targeted Falls Creek village on weekend INDIVIDUALS alleged to have carried out a slew of burglaries at Falls Creek businesses at the weekend remain at large.

Wangaratta Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) officers are investigating the matter, following a number of break-ins throughout the Falls Creek village overnight on Saturday, which also involved an alleged aggravated burglary on a residential premises.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Wangaratta Police Station on 5723 0888 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

HOPS HEARTLAND: HPA says its purchase of the former TCV property in Myrtleford puts the town at the centre of its operations.

Myrtleford dubbed heart of hop country

By LEAH ANDERSON-BYRNE THE recent purchase of the former Tobacco Cooperative of Victoria (TCV) property in Myrtleford by Hops Products Australia (HPA) will place the town in the middle of local hops farms around the shire.

HPA plans to transform the site, containing four separate buildings totalling more than 22,000 square metres, into a state-of-the-art pellet plant, packaging line and cold storage facility as part of a $20 million project.

HPA head of sales and marketing, Owen Johnston, said the purchase shows HPA continues to invest in its business in the Alpine Shire.

“It’s undeniable HPA is in area for the long haul and it’s a great thing,” he said.

“We’re about to drop another $20m in modernising processes and it will mean you can

go from Myrtleford over to our operations in Buffalo or down toward Bright and past the hops farms; it will be the heart of hops country and we’re pretty excited about that.

“I think the misconception is that it’s going to create lots of jobs for this shed but the truth is we’ve already invested $50m in expanding farm productivity and that led to 60 additional full times roles on farm already.

“The pellet plan is a little different; we already have capacity in our business and we’re pleased we’re not losing jobs, just redeploying or moving roles to the pellet plan while we double capacity and invest in high quality output.

“It’s essentially phase three in our capital investment in the area and while it won’t create new jobs in the pelleting line we’re using local services as much as possible for other things within the project.”

Mr Johnston said the project will reach out to the community to utilise various trades and services.

“Things like tree planting crews for new acreage, cartage companies for trucking services, sparkies; there’s so many ways we reach out into the community and we’re feeling immensely grateful this opportunity has come up here,” he said.

“We’ve had our eye on this as a potential site for some time and it really fits with the way we want to work with local communities; it’s a very fortuitous location.

“Currently we’ve got around 160 staff on a full time equivalent and we’ve grown pretty rapidly.

“Our new operation based out in Buffalo Valley accounts for 30 of those roles, we’ve got operations in Tasmania as well as in the high country.

“The North East Victoria land base is about 650 hectares

Lake Eildon and Inlet Valve

and there are 280 hectares in Tasmania.

“Along with preservation of existing jobs and redeployment effected by this move, we also are 100 per cent committed to our head quarters operations and Tasmania farming operations so this processing plant is big enough to handle the output of all acreage combined but it in no way puts Tasmania operations at risk.”

Mr Johnston said these investments and projects all come back to one thing; good product.

“This new pellet plant will give us the right throughput and allow us to pelletise our whole crop at a rate that will ensure brewers and breweries are getting highest quality hops we produce,” he said.

“At the end of the day we exist solely to produce hop flavour into beer and this is a key piece of infrastructure to achieve that mission.”

Drainage push continues Council says y gground at McNamara Reserve will be assessed

BY BRODIE EVERIST beverist@ nemedia.com.au

ADVOCACY for Myrtleford’s McNamara Reserve continues, with both Ovens and Murray FNL officials, Ovens Valley MP Tim McCurdy and McNamara Reserve committee president Bob McNamara calling on the Victorian Government for funding to fix the oval’s drainage issues.

At the McNamara Reserve last Tuesday, Mr McCurdy said he had contacted Ros Spence, Victorian Minister for Community Sport, and was planning to speak with the Alpine Shire Council about the grounds.

He said the Myrtleford Football Netball Club (MFNC) deserved facilities in line with the club’s playing standards.

“They really punch above their weight when it comes to the sporting facilities that they’ve got in the Ovens and Murray league,” he said.

“They can’t afford one game not to be played on here - that’s really important revenue, whether it’s finals or whether it’s just a home match.”

Mr McCurdy said he was concerned there may not be another round of funding grants before the November

DRAINAGE DESPAIR: McNamara Reserve committee president Bob McNamara and Ovens and Murray MP Tim McCurdy have called for State Government funding to improve drainage at Myrtleford’s McNamara Reserve.

Current predictions by Mr McCurdy and Mr McNamara place the cost of the project at $500,000.

Mr McCurdy did not promise the project would be funded if the Coalition wins the state election this November, but he said the work would get done.

“One way or another, this ground will get fixed in the next couple of years - I just want to make sure it gets sorted sooner rather than later,” he said.

After a particularly muddy match at the reserve on August 6 the Wangaratta Magpies lodged an official complaint with the Ovens and Murray league over ground conditions, leading

to a phone meeting with representatives of MFNC, the Ovens and Murray league, the reserve committee and council last week.

Mr McNamara said the oval is already well-kept, with the grounds drained annually and top-dressed every two years, but it needs more extensive work.

“What’s under the ground is the issue - when we get a

decent rain the water’s just not getting away,” he said.

According to Mr McNamara, the seniors football team hadn’t trained on the ground in eight weeks prior to the August 20 match, while the juniors team and Auskick group train at Memorial Park Oval.

He said their coach had contacted the Whorouly Football Club to train at their

oval, and had also considered playing at the grounds in Tarrawingee.

“They’re small, minor league grounds in better condition than what we have,” he said.

Mr McNamara said ideally the club would have two ovals to alleviate damage to the grounds.

“Most of the bigger towns have two or three ovals that they can work between,” he said.

The Alpine Shire Council confirmed that an assessment of the ground will be carried out to gain a better understanding of the ground and its challenges.

According to a council spokesperson, they will be working with MFNC and McNamara Recreation Reserve committee to address concerns and opportunities for future use of the ground for all users.

A Victorian Government spokesperson said the government works primarily with local councils to identify and support projects in areas like the Alpine Shire Council through dedicated grant programs.

“The Labor Government has invested more than $2.8 million in community sport and active recreation infrastructure in Alpine Shire since 2014,” the spokesperson said.

Federal Budget wish list $71m bid for resort funds

Haines seeking $70m for range of projects in the Alpine Shire

By BRODIE EVERIST

By BRODIE EVERIST INDI Independent MP Helen Haines has released her prebudget wish list for the electorate, including $70.15 million worth of investment proposals for the Alpine Shire to be sent to Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers.

Dr Haines is looking to secure $53.15m in contributions from the Federal Government, including $26m to develop the residential aged care component of the Bright District Hospital Health Precinct Development.

After the Bright precinct development the biggest ticket item is the $15m Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing, followed by $4.6m of infrastructure upgrades in Harrietville and $3.5m worth of similar upgrades in Tawonga.

Also on the list is $2.9m for the Bright Western Gateway, $600,000 for electric vehicle infrastructure and $550,000 for the Kiewa River Trail Extension.

According to Dr Haines, the Bright Western Gateway funding request is for public infrastructure upgrades, including road improvements, and open spaces and pavements.

“Alpine Shire Council has approved a significant new residential development for Bright, which will hopefully ease the housing pressures in the popular town, which has seen an increase in population in recent years,” she said.

“This investment is necessary to help our communities grow sustainably and address housing availability issues.”

Dr Haines has also called for

PROPOSED INVESTMENT: Indi Independent MP Helen Haines is after $53.15 million in contributions from the Federal Government towards specific projects in the Alpine Shire. government funding for several regional projects, including locally-owned renewable energy projects, mobile black spot funding, a regional tourism recovery fund and a rural aged care facility fund.

“Indi is facing serious challenges regarding health care and housing, but we also have momentous opportunities for investment to fuel regional development,” she said.

“The Indi Budget Submission calls on the government to address areas of need and boost projects that will help our towns reach their potential.

“I have worked with local councils and community groups to put these projects to the government, to ensure the projects that are most needed and will have the most impact are at the front of the queue.”

Dr Haines also called on the government to establish a $2 billion Regional Housing Fund to be deployed over four years in regional Australia, a policy she launched in the previous parliament.

The policy is designed to unlock private investment in new houses by building the basic infrastructure needed for new housing

development, including social infrastructure.

“I’m making sure the Treasurer knows we need a $2 billion fund to open up more land for housing across regional Australia,” she said.

“Policy to address the housing crisis in Australia needs to be more than help for first home buyers to save a deposit,” Dr Haines said.

Dr Haines has also requested a series of grants for projects in the Alpine resorts, including a $192m investment in Mt Hotham and Falls Creek infrastructure over 10 years.

INDEPENDENT MP for Indi Helen Haines has requested $71.2 million of government contributions for Mount Hotham and Falls Creek developments over a 10-year period in her pre-budget submission.

Dr Haines has requested $47.5m for four Mount Hotham developments and $23.7m for five Falls Creek projects to help drive further visitation and future growth.

The largest item on the list is the Hotham Heaven Walk and Trails Upgrade, totalling $22.5m with a $21m contribution from the Federal Government, to upgrade and expand its existing trail network and also develop the ‘Hotham Heaven Walk’, a trail across the resort with cantilevered walkways and architecturally-designed features and lookouts.

Dr Haines is also requesting $15m for a business, visitor and community centre at Mount Hotham to centralise public amenity and range of services and experiences in one facility.

The other priority projects for Mount Hotham are a $10m contribution for a public safety, access and amenity upgrade, and $1.5m for a series of art installations.

For Falls Creek, the biggest ticket item is the $9.9m request for a recreation and events centre to provide facilities for local groups and sports clubs.

According to Dr Haines, the project is a critical part of the resort’s green season adaptation planning and has all required permits in place for the construction to start.

Next on the list is $5.8m of funding for an ‘around the lake’ multi-use trail that circumnavigates Rocky Valley Lake and integrates with the existing trail network at Falls Creek.

Also listed is a $3.1ml contribution for road infrastructure, $2.9m infrastructure for the Lakeside Precinct and $2m for the expansion of the mountain biking park network.

All of Haines proposed developments fall within four strategic areas: vibrant, accessible, and diverse alpine villages; infrastructure to enable sustainable growth; compelling and quality winter experiences for all visitors; and motivating green season products and experiences.

Your Personal Guide to Trainee and Apprentice Tax Deductions!

Whether you’re an apprentice or trainee carpenter, electrician, mechanic, plumber, ricklayer or painter (just to name a few), here are some apprentice tax deductions.

Starting out in a trade or traineeship involves long hours spent learning the ropes in your chosen field. It’s a common misconception that apprentices or trainees can’t claim much on their tax return. But, did you know that even though you’re just starting out as a trainee or apprentice, there are an array of deductions available that can help deliver a pretty big tax return for you?

Clothing and Protective Items Firstly, do you need to wear branded clothing to work? Or maybe you need hi-vis items and steel-capped boots?

Chances are the answer to one (or both) of those questions is yes.

And, that’s good news at tax time!

Branded shirts, pants, hats and protective items like boots, safety glasses and hivis clothing are all common trainee and apprentice tax deductions.

Sunscreen and Sun Protection Working outside is often a big part of the job. Make sure you are keeping track of any sunscreen, zinc, hats or sunglasses you purchase as these items can all be claimed back.

Cleaning and Laundry As an apprentice or trainee chances you’re always getting your hands (and clothes) dirty.

Make sure you keep track of how often you’re washing your work clothes as you can also claim a deduction for laundry expenses.

Tools and Equipment Deductions As a trade’s apprentice or trainee, you are often required to buy certain tools for work out of your own pocket.

Belmores C HART E R E D A C C OU N T A N T S

Tax time is when you can claim these expenses back! ,WHPV EHORZ FDQ EH FODLPHG LQ IXOO DV SDUW RI \RXU WD[ UHWXUQ ,WHPV RYHU QHHG WR EH GHSUHFLDWHG RYHU D QXPEHU RI \HDUV Let your tax agent know the total cost and when the item was purchased and they will run the maths for you.

Just be aware if the tools are sometimes used for non-work-related purposes, you’ll need claim a work-related percentage rather than the full purchase price.

Mobile Phone Expenses Here’s another common, but often overlooked tax deduction for apprentices and trainees.

Do you make and receive calls for work on your personal mobile phone? It might be to call your boss about a job you’re working on or ordering supplies for site. If yes, you can claim a work-related percentage of your phone use on your return.

To work out your work-related percentage, go through a typical monthly phone bill and work out how many calls are work related YV SHUVRQDO ,I RXW RI FDOOV DUH ZRUNUHODWHG WKDW·V 7KHUHIRUH \RX FDQ FODLP RI \RXU PRQWKO\ SKRQH ELOO RQ \RXU return.

Car and Vehicle Tax Deductions A general rule regarding car expenses is that you can’t claim home to work travel. But, there is an exception if you carry heavy or bulky tools ZHLJKLQJ NJV RU DERYH $1' WKHUH·V QR VDIH SODFH DW ZRUN IRU \RX to store them.

So if you’re an apprentice or trainee who fits the above description, all of your workrelated car use (even home to work, and back again) is usually tax deductible.

For those apprentices who don’t carry heavy tools, home to work

(and vice versa) travel is generally not claimable. But, any other travel you do during the day from one site to another, to pick up supplies or meet with customers is tax deductible.

There are two methods on offer for claiming car expenses: /RJERRN 0HWKRG )RU PRVW WUDGH DSSUHQWLFHV ZKR GULYH D ORW for work, this method puts the most money in your pocket at tax WLPH <RX QHHG WR NHHS D ORJERRN IRU FRQWLQXRXV ZHHNV RI ERWK your work and personal trips. Then you can claim a work-related percentage of ALL your car expenses for the year on your return. This includes fuel, insurance, registration and even interest on a car loan if applicable.

2. For those trainees or apprentices who only drive occasionally \RX FDQ FODLP SHU NLORPHWUH XS WR NP SHU \HDU 7KH UDWH SHU kilometre changes per tax year, check the correct year rate here.

Self Education Expenses As an apprentice or trainee, you are more than likely taking part in some form of education. Any associated expenses can usually be claimed back on your tax return.

This could be a certificate, diploma or specialist upskilling.

Any textbooks, training manuals, stationery and internet usage related to the self education can also be claimed.

Whorouly memorial walls commemorate passed locals

By NATHAN DE VRIES LOCAL families now have the perfect place to remember loved ones who have passed, with the installation of two memorial walls in Whorouly set to be adorned with inscribed plaques.

The walls, installed last year by the Whorouly Memorial Park committee, will allow community members to purchase plaques with short messages and names of their loved ones to adorn the scenic pocket of the recreation reserve.

Committee secretary Ruth Costenaro said the process to create the memorial site has been a drawn out one, but worth it.

“It was just an idea that a community member gave us, she put it in to the committee before COVID,” she said.

“Because we haven’t got a cemetery, she wanted to have a place where people knew where people were - if someone comes back to Whorouly and says ‘I used to have an uncle that lived here but I’ve got no idea where

MEMORIAL: These two walls at the Whorouly Recreation Reserve will soon be adorned with names and short messages of community members who have passed.

PHOTO: Nathan de Vries he’s buried’, that’s mainly what it was about.

“We’ve got our first allotment of plaques going and hopefully some plaques will start appearing on the walls.

“We’ve got nearly 60 plaques at the moment, and we’re still having them come in, we want people to keep coming with them.

“Even people who lived here for not very long still want to put a plaque up - it’s lovely, historywise.”

Ms Costenaro said the response from the community exceeded her expectations, with the layout of the walls allowing for expansion if the need arises.

“We thought the first 50 might go really quickly, which was fine, but now I think it might be the first 100 that go really quickly,” she said.

Plaques can be purchased for $160 - for more information, contact Ruth Costenaro on 0400 622 386 or drop by the Whorouly shop.

“If the government was serious about housing reform, they would remove the obstacles that our local

She said council was working to alleviate housing pressures, pointing to the council’s recent approval of the Bright Western Gateway Plan and subdivision opportunities in the Kiewa Valley.

According to Cr Nicholas, council is following a residential growth plan established in 2005, which earmarked the Bright Western Gateway as suitable for urban growth.

She said council is working to identify future residential growth areas, as well as areas for industrial and commercial zoning as local populations increase.

Mr McCurdy also mentioned the perilous state of the building industry in Victoria, describing it as “on a knife edge”.

“I have builders who talk to me about how they cannot get to lock-up stage because they

need a component they simply cannot get,” he said.

“There are significant payments at the lock-up stage, so obviously the client can withhold payment until they get to this critical stage - this can drag on and on and on.

“If not for the goodwill of all involved - the traders, the clients and the hardware suppliers - we really could be at a standstill already.”

Hall makeover a step closer

By BRODIE EVERIST VICTORIAN Minister for Creative industries, Steve Dimopoulos, announced a $150,000 grant for the refurbishment of the Myrtleford Memorial Hall last Wednesday, as part of a State Government initiative to upgrade under-utilised creative spaces across Victoria.

Mr Dimopolous visited the hall around midday for the announcement, speaking with Alpine Shire councillor Ron Janas and local musician Terry Lockwood, who was consulted on the initial concepts for the refurbishment.

“The Myrtleford Memorial Hall is a perfect size for more intimate performances, whether it be musicals or theatre performances - it’d be amazing,” Mr Dimopoulos said.

“To add a cultural element here is exactly I think what the community needs and wants.

“When you invest in creative space like this you get performances, you get visitations and you get cash registers ringing through the community because people will come here for everything else that’s famous about this region.

“It will be an amazing place to come and see performances, art exhibitions, theatre and every-

the community way back in the early 1920s.”

According to Mr Janas, plans for the building are near completion and the newly-refurbished building would feature solar panels and a battery in-line with the shire’s push for net zero emissions.

“It’s time for this building to be modernized and come up to date,” he said.

The hall’s lobby will be extended to create a visitor information centre, with two large windows in the front and sliding door access, according to Alpine Shire CEO Will Jeremy.

Mr Jeremy said the refurbishment has also received $125,000 from the Bushfire Recovery Fund, $50,000 from Regional Development Victoria, and council will pay $215,000.

Mr Lockwood said the performance space would hold around 90 to 100 patrons, once completed.

The $150,000 was funded through the State Government’s Creative Neighbourhood Infrastructure Support Program, as part of its $288 million Creative State 2025 strategy to deliver accessible and secure creative workspaces and develop creative hubs across Victoria.

According to a council spokesperson, local groups consulted about the refurbishment plans included the Myrtleford Theatre Troupe, the cinema club, the Myrtleford Historical Society, the Myrtleford Chamber of Commerce, volunteers at the Myrtleford Visitor Centre, and local artists.

PEOPLE AROUND TOWN

UPPER GUNDOWRING

MYRTLEFORD

Nicholas George How long have you lived in Upper Gundowring?

I have lived in Upper Gundowring for about 14 years. My family moved from Katamatite near Cobram when I had just turned three, so this valley is where I’ve grown up. I live on a dairy farm that stretches down onto the Kiewa River.

What do you like about living in the area?

I love living in Upper Gundowring because of the tranquility and natural beauty of the farmland, hills and the river.

Would you like to see any additions or changes?

Jim Anderson

As a learner driver I would love to see improvements to the pot holes on the Upper Gundowring Road. I love the area that I live in and I am proud to be a local.

What are your hobbies and interests?

During summer my family and I like to paddle down the river on kayaks from Keegans Bridge to our property, cooling off in the water along the way.

Where would you take visitors to the area?

When we have visitors staying with us I would take them for a swim in the river, or a hit of tennis at our local courts.

So you’re travelling through Myrtleford?

Yeah we’ve been to Canberra, had a look at the war museum.

We’re on our way back to South Australia, to Victor Harbor.

What are your hobbies and interests?

I like woodwork. We live by the beach at Victor Harbor, so we do a little bit of sailing and kayak on the lake at Victor Harbor - anything to do with the country.

What do you like about the area?

I like the mountain country, I’ve been through here many years before to Bright. We drove through to Mount Beauty the other day and I just love the ambience of the place.

It would be beautiful in autumn.

It’s an enjoyable part of Victoria, part of the diversity of Victoria - different to the Mallee. I like the hills

and the mountain country.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

I think you’d go up Mount Buffalo and you’d go to the iconic places like Bright, Mount Beauty and maybe to Falls Creek if you’re into the snowfields. Beechworth is renowned for having some interesting sites - the Beechworth jail, places like that.

Is there anything you would change about the area?

Not really, I think these areas are growing and I’m pro-growth.

More tourists are coming through and I know local people might not like that, but you’ve got to have growth to move on. When I look at the facilities in this town it’s got everything you would need. It’s a nice Victorian country town in a good area.

BRIGHT

Stephen Deed How long have you lived in the area?

Thirty years, but in two stints. The latest stint has been about 27 years.

What do you do?

I was a forester by profession.

What are your hobbies and interests?

A lot of mucking about in my shed at home, but also bushwalking, particularly at Mount Buffalo - I spend a lot of time at Mount Buffalo. A bit of woodworking, a bit of metal work. I also run a little home maintenance business.

What do you like about the area?

To be able to get out and about in the bush. The access to the hills, the quick access to swimming along the river and the people - I know a lot of

people around the town after 27 years.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

Definitely Mount Buffalo. Depending on the season I’d take them along the river swimming. I’d probably take them to Beechworth. I might go for a walk on Mount Hotham, along the Razorback, if they’re that sort of person. I’d also take them mountain biking or cycling along the cycle path.

Is there anything you would change about the area?

Maybe put it a little closer to Melbourne, but that’s probably not on the cards. Tell you what, I would put Great Alpine Road on the other side of the river so it didn’t go through the middle of Bright.

Hotham looks to the future

Wire Plain reimagined...and the Alpine Gateway to be completed

By CHRIS EPSKAMP and JEFF ZEUSCHNER THE first images and draft plan for new visitor facilities at Mt Hotham’s Wire Plain have been released.

A long overdue development, Wire Plain has recently struggled to cope with huge volumes of day visitors utilising the area for snowplay, dog sled rides and crosscountry skiing/snow shoeing on winter weekends.

One only has to view the line-up for the rustic outdoor toilets to understand that change is desperately needed.

To be known as the Hotham Hub, the new facility promises to be a boon to both visitors and local business.

Draft plans show a large central seating area with modern toilet facilities, complemented by a commercial kitchen and bar, plus visitor information and retail spaces.

Tourism Minister Steve Dimopoulos said the $4.5 million investment by the State Government aims to accommodate snow goers of all levels, with a family friendly area for tobogganing and snowplay.

Scheduled to start construction following the 2022

winter season, the project will be delivered in two stages, creating up to 28 construction jobs and eight ongoing positions when works are expected to be completed in 2024.

The precinct is also expected to support ‘green-season activation’, providing a centralised location for summer hiking and mountain biking visitors, plus supporting new commercial tours and rentals associated with the activities.

The Hotham Hub is also expected to double as a conference facility.

Submissions for a tender seeking a suitable operator for tenure over the commercial areas of the Hotham Hub facility closed on August 28.

Mt Hotham Alpine Resort Management Board CEO, Amber Gardner, said the Hotham Hub will activate a new recreational precinct, ensuring the resort can better cater for existing customers and also target emerging markets, particularly first-time snow visitors.

MEANWHILE, completion of the Alpine Gateway at Mt Hotham’s Loch car park is due over summer.

The new two-storey

Proposals for Hotham Central being assessed

By JEFF ZEUSCHNER

FUTURE VISIONS: Drawings (above) of the visitor facilities to be in place at Mt Hotham’s Wire Plain in 2024.

Alpine Gateway facility, bankrolled by $4.2 million in State Government funding, will provide year-round benefits to visitors.

The new building will incorporate a top deck with a large level space for 135 cars and a viewing platform with a fully enclosed lower level providing visitors to the ski area with change rooms and toilets plus safe and direct ski field access for the skiers and snowboarders of all abilities.

Interpretive facilities will welcome visitors and showcase the resort.

Significantly, Alpine

Gateway provides a real alternative to the Corral Car Park, reducing vehicular congestion in the heart of the Mt Hotham village.

Outside the snow season, Alpine Gateway will be the trailhead for the proposed Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing multi-day walk and a range of other signature walks.

The project is part of the resort’s efforts to support climate change adaptation and sustained community resilience by providing a year-round facility.

Whilst improving the

visitor experience, it is also hoped the development will stimulate new commercial opportunities in the village and local communities.

“The Alpine Gateway is a strategic enabling project that will create a new visitor hub and parking facility with capacity for further public and private investment within the resort in support of a new visitor precinct,” Ms Gardner, said.

“This facility will provide a much-needed boost to Mt Hotham’s year-round offering and the local visitor economy.”

MT HOTHAM Resort Management is working to progress commercial development opportunities at Hotham Central Precinct ahead of next season.

Developers were earlier this season invited to contribute to the next phase of Mt Hotham’s visitor-centric expansion by expressing interest in four “premium parcels” of land in the heart of the resort.

It is understood Mt Hotham Resort Management received a high level of interest, including from current mountain operators, for a variety of developments, which are currently being assessed.

All four land parcels have immediate access to the ski area, the resort’s transport interchange, and existing commercial hubs.

They are located in and around the current Corral Car Park area, which is to be redeveloped to include a Village Square and public outdoor space, as well as a promenade.

GAPSTED WINES

WORMS WORTH A SHOT: Bait fishing with worms will be a great starting point when the Victorian trout season opens this Saturday.

Can’t wait for trout season opening this weekend IT’S that time of the year again...

Victorian trout opening, my favourite.

The Victorian trout season opens this Saturday, with streams closed during winter for trout spawning re-opening to anglers.

And in the words of Big Kev, “I’m Excited”.

Obviously I have no fishing reports to share from any of the trout streams yet.

Hopefully by the time I write next week’s report I will have more information on what is biting etc.

At the moment all that I can do is give a trout fishing forecast.

I expect trout fishing to be very good at the start of the season if the streams are not too high and dirty, improving to excellent in a few

GONE NE FISHING HING with ROBBIE E ALEXANDER ANDER weeks as the weather starts to warm up and the insect activity increases.

We have had a lot of rainfall this winter, especially up in the hills where the trout streams are.

As a result the streams are all flowing high and in many cases they are off colour.

I suspect that I will be fishing with worms on opening morning.

The saturated catchment will ensure that there are plenty of worms occurring

naturally in the streams for the trout to eat.

Although I will have my trout lures with me - my soft plastics, spinners and minnows - I suspect that it will be worms that work the best in the fast flowing water.

The gifted fly fishermen and women will no doubt catch trout on flies, probably some kind of nymphs.

When it comes to fly fishing I am not gifted so will leave my fly rod in the shed until there are a few grasshoppers around.

Fly fishing is much easier then!

Any and all of your favourite trout streams will be worth fishing this weekend.

Take care while wading in the high, icy cold waters and good luck for the 2022 trout opening.

Their organiser, Veli Rautianen, told the group before they left Finland ‘You will be skiing in the sunshine’ and the weather did not disappoint.

Carol is a volunteer safety marshall at The Hoppet, spending two hours at the ‘Paralyzer’ section, one of the most arduous stretches of the cross country race.

At the end of her shift she closed down the Birkebeiner station, finishing her day exhausted but exhilarated at the same time.

Local Indigenous projects funded

By LEAH ANDERSON-BYRNE THE Taungurung Land and Waters Council, which has formal recognition as Traditional Owners of land in parts of the Alpine valley, has received State Government funding for two projects to focus on biocultural values and will develop expertise to protect freshwater fauna.

Minister for Environment and Climate Action, Lily D’Ambrosio, said the government is investing $1.97M across 10 Traditional Owner-led and Aboriginal community groupled projects as part of the Caring for Country Grants program and Landcare for Country pilot program.

“For tens of thousands of years, Traditional Owners have been protecting and caring for our environment - this investment will make sure their culture and knowledge continues to inform the way land is managed and cared for,” she said.

Both programs support Traditional Owners’ and Aboriginal Victorians’ rights to practice land management activities on Country which play a key role in supporting self-determination.

The funding is part of the Victorian Government’s Biodiversity 2037 plan; to stop the decline of native plants and animals and improve the state’s natural environment, which has invested over $560 million in protecting biodiversity and the environment since 2014.

Minister for Treaty and First Peoples Gabrielle Williams said these projects were a “vital part” of Victoria’s path to Aboriginal selfdetermination.

LAYING A WREATH: Myrtleford RSL sub-branch secretary John Twyford laid a wreath at the cenotaph in the Beechworth Town Hall Gardens for Vietnam Veterans’ Day. PHOTO: Alison Williams

Alpine RSLs attended Beechworth Vietnam Veterans’ Day service REPRESENTATIVES of the Myrtleford, Bright and Mount Beauty Returned Services League (RSL) sub-branches attended the Vietnam Veterans’ Day commemoration at the Beechworth Town Hall Gardens two weeks ago.

RSL state president, Dr Robert Webster OAM, delivered the main address, a personal narrative of his experience as a national serviceman serving in Vietnam, his

home coming and his last day in the Australian Army.

Singer Will Arnold performed ‘ANZAC Hero’, his own composition detailing the controversial and difficult nature of politics and serving one’s country.

According to Myrtleford RSL sub-branch secretary John Twyford, the song resonated with many in the 50-strong crowd.

This was followed by a wreath

laying ceremony by Dr Robert Webster with all RSLs represented, including the Beechworth and Wodonga sub-branches.

Bright RSL sub-branch president Philip Keeghan said commemorating Vietnam Veterans’ Day was particularly important because the soldiers weren’t recognised for their service for many years.

“They were ostracised, ridi-

culed, and treated terribly for their service,” he said.

“They need to be recognised for their sacrifice.”

Next year, it is Myrtleford’s turn to host the Vietnam Veterans’ Day commemoration.

Mr Twyford said the service will be held at the Albert Lowerson VC Memorial Park on Clyde Street.

“Hopefully absent the ‘lazy wind’,” he said.

Re-elections abound in historical society’s new committee

By BRODIE EVERIST THE Bright and District Historical Society elected its new committee last week at the annual general meeting held at the U3A building in Bright.

According to historian and acquisitions convener Diann Talbot, around 14 members attended the meeting to re-elect president Jim Oastler, treasurer Roy Ward, secretary Pauline McCall, and Ms Talbot.

The group also discussed funding a new display case for panels originating from the Joss House in Harrietville.

According to Ms Talbot, the current cabinet is not museum quality, so they will look for quotes for a new display case and apply for grants

when the opportunity arises.

Ms Talbot said her role as historian and acquisitions convener involves researching for historical enquiries and the society’s publications, and curating the museum collection.

From September 17 the museum will open from 2-4pm on Saturday and Sunday, and also 2-4pm on Tuesday and Thursday during school holidays.

The historical society will also be opening the Bright State Battery at Doughertys Bridge on October 29 from 2-4pm for the Spring Festival, hosting a talk from local miner Peter O’Donnell.

To get involved with the historical society, membership forms can be found at the Bright Museum and the Bright Library.

NEW COMMITTEE: Bright and District Historical Society committee members (from left) John Wymond, treasurer Roy Ward, Tony Strahan, Renata Armishaw, historian and acquisitions convener Diann Talbot, president Jim Oastler, secretary Pauline McCall and Jeff Setford.

RUNNING Creek local Jess Barton has been awarded for excellence and ongoing passion for rural health at the Victorian Rural Health Awards.

Ms Barton received the Outstanding Contribution by a Rising Star Award, which recognises a junior health professional who has shown a true passion for rural health and is intent on dedicating their career to rural communities.

She has recently become a podiatrist in Corryong after graduating from a Bachelor of Podiatric Medicine at Charles Sturt University in Albury-Wodonga.

“I had to jump in the deep end, career-wise, to help individuals in the local community,” she said.

“It was daunting and challenging being the only podiatrist at the hospital immediately after graduation.

“Luckily, I was able to build a strong rapport with my patients and improve their overall foot and health outcomes.

“I utilised my networks, drawing upon the expertise of external podiatrists to expand my knowledge base.”

Caroline Robinson, associate professor in podiatry at the Charles Sturt School of Allied Health, Exercise and Sports Sciences, congratulated Ms Barton on receiving the award, and noted the need for more podiatrists in rural areas.

“The number of podiatry enrolments and graduates has been declining over the past five years across Australia,” she said.

“This creates even bigger challenges with respect to the relative shortfall of podiatrists employed in regional Australia, given the high demand from industry in both public and private healthcare sectors.”

Professor Robinson said roughly 94 per cent of the podiatry workforce works in either major cities or inner regional locations.

Alpine Scout leaders awarded for commitment and service

By BRODIE EVERIST THREE Bright and Myrtleford Scout leaders have been recognised by Scouts Victoria for their volunteering and service to Scouting.

Tony Brooks of the 1st Bright Scouts and Annette Monshing of the 1st Myrtleford Scouts received meritorious service awards earlier this month for their exemplary service to the Scouting movement.

Assistant Joey Scout leader Nathaniel West, of the Bright Scouts, received a special service award, which he attributed to his accepting leadership of the Bright Cubs as well as his usual

Joey Scouts leadership position.

His willingness to take on the extra volunteering is even more remarkable considering he only finished his leadership training in December last year.

Mr Brooks, who is an assistant Scout leader, said it was an honour to be recognised for their hard work.

“I really appreciate the recognition of the ongoing work that we’ve been doing - it’s not just one person in a Scout group, there’s always a team of people working together,” he said.

Mr Brooks has been involved with Scouting since he was around 14.

BIG SMILES: Scout leaders Tony Brooks (left) and Nathaniel West with Joey and Cub Scouts in the 1st Bright Scouts.

PHOTO: Brodie Everist “We had leaders helping me when I was a kid, now I’m older that I can help the

next generation of kids,” he said.

“I’ve moved up from Cubs

into Scouts, so some of the kids that I had as Cubs moved into the Scout section as well, then they’ve moved into Venturers and I’ve seen them grow into upstanding members of the community.”

Ms Monshing has been a Scout leader since 1996 performing various roles, such as leading Joey Scouts, Cub Scouts, Venturers and even teaching other leaders.

She is planning to attend the Scouts Victoria award ceremony on September 18 at Gilwell Park in Gembrook.

Being recognised for their services to Scouting is appreciated, the three say, but

really it’s about helping the kids.

“Helping the kids to become the leaders of tomorrow - I know it sounds a bit cliche, but that’s what Scouting is about,” Mr Brooks said.

“It’s about building leadership skills, building confidence and helping kids to be great members of society and of the community.”

To get involved with the 1st Myrtleford Scouts contact Bernadette Hays on 0438 403 068, or find their Facebook page.

The 1st Bright Scouts can be contacted by email at gl.1stbright@scoutsvictoria. com.au.

Saints development side downed in grand final SATURDAY saw the grand final of the premier division A development netball competition, where Myrtleford Saints Black were defeated

by Rovers Brown 22-30.

The Saints started off strongly, shooting the first three goals of the game, however once Rovers settled their nerves, they were able to fight back and go into the second quarter six goals up.

From here on, each quarter was a tough battle, with both teams having to work hard to score goals.

Brooke Parolin and Jade

Hazeldine worked extremely hard in defence against some accurate shooters.

Skylah McPherson, Laura Cartwright and Gemma Bodsworth had to work hard around the ring to try score some goals, while Tessa Howden, Charlie Parolin and Amy Favaro ran solidly in the centre court.

The final three quarters played very evenly, but the Saints just couldn’t break back that six goal advantage from the first quarter and ended up going down by eight.

 RUNNERS UP: Saints Black team members (back, from left) Laura Cartwright, Brooke Parolin, Skylah McPherson, Amy Favaro, Gemma Bodsworth; (front, from left) Jade Hazeldine, Charlie Parolin and Tessa Howden.

RUNNERS UP: MNC Teens came second in the competition, with (back, from left) Claire Myers, Jade Hazeldine, Tessa Howden, Skylah McPherson, Gemma Bodsworth; (front, from left) Charlie Parolin, Teagan Brown, Laura Cartwright and Brooke Parolin.

Social netball wraps up A MASSIVE crowd watched an entertaining match between the Wolf Pack and the MNC Teens in the senior netball competition grand final last Tuesday.

In the end, the Wolf Pack showed their experience to win 37-31.

The Teens play an exciting brand of netball though and should be proud of their efforts in the senior comp this season.

Best on court was awarded to Skylah McPherson from MNC Teens.

The Myrtleford Netball Club’s season B&F was also

awarded on the night - in what was a close count, Celestine Ellen took home the Zannie Crisp trophy as the winner on 26 votes, while Melissa Palezza was awarded the Kellie Harris trophy as runner-up on 23 votes.

Kristy Corcoran finished third on 19 votes, with Skylah McPherson and Sharnie McCooke tying for fourth on 18 votes.

The club would like to send a big thank you to all umpires, committee members and volunteers for making these games come together each and every week.

The men’s podium was filled by Jayden Spring (15:52), Alberto Allan and Clancey Harvey.

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID restrictions, it was great to have the Hoppet back on the international stage.

Race director, Ben Derrick, paid tribute to all the volunteers that come together for the event.

“We have over 100 volunteers involved in staging the event that are made up of local skiers and non-skiers alike,” he said.

“After a couple of years of forced cancellation it was great to see the enthusiasm and passion that our community brings to the sport.”

The 30th staging of the Hoppet is an amazing achievement for all involved in the event.

“The far-sighted and aspirational dreaming and planning from the Birkebeiner Nordic Ski Club in the late 1980s has really paid enormous dividends for the sport and the local community,” said Derrick.

“It is a celebration of everyone who has been involved in the event”.

The Worldloppet series move on to New Zealand for the Merino Muster next week.

AFTER a couple years absence, the best bar in the Victorian Alps finally makes a return to Mt Hotham, but be warned, it is for one day only.

It does come with its own festival though!

Part of the Victorian Backcountry Festival (VBCF) from September 2 to 4), the outdoor bar is one of many highlights of this increasingly popular event this weekend.

The ski-in outdoor bar is an absolute crowd favourite.

It will be at Hotham’s Village Lookout in the Christmas Hills on Saturday, September 3.

The bar opens from 2pm to 7pm and promises loads of fun, food, drink and social interaction in a fantastic part of the Mt Hotham cross-country ski trail network.

Access to the bar is by cross country ski, snowshoe or skinning about 500m up the trail from bus stop 11 at Slatey car park.

Those planning on arriving early should BYO snow shovel to help build snow furniture, igloos and shelter walls around the fireplace.

The return of the outdoor bar also heralds the return of the Victorian Backcountry Festival.

After two years of running as an online event, this fifth iteration of the festival promises to be the best yet, offering an expanded program of tours (with a focus on beginner and intermediate skiers and riders), skills workshops, a demo village, the ski in bar, speakers’ program, a snow camp at JB Plain, a gear repair workshop, avalanche rescue competitions, and a tour of the Mt Hotham recycling workshop.

ALMOST 1000 cross country skiers from 22 countries descended on Falls Creek last Saturday for the 30th staging of the Kangaroo Hoppet XC Ski Marathon.

The Hoppet, part of the prestigious Worldloppet Ski Federation of marathon events, is the largest annual snowsports event in the southern hemisphere and attracts elite and citizen skiers from around the world.

Perfect weather and tracks greeted the skiers as they wound their way through the course from the Falls Creek Nordic Bowl across the Bogong High Plains.

The USA took out the men’s and women’s main 42km events with Peter Wolter and Jessie Diggins making it a US double.

In the men’s, a large pack skied together for 10km before Wolter put the foot down at the top of the course and was able to break the pack after 15km, winning in a time of 1:28:08.

Campbell Wright from New Zealand and Lars Young Vik from Australia battled for the minor placings before Wright was able to edge ahead of Vik coming into the finish.

Jacob Adicoff of the USA was fourth, with Aussie Olympians Seve De Campo and Phillip Bellingham in fifth and sixth.

In the women’s Diggins positioned herself well in the lead pack on the tough Paralyser climb and was able to get a break on teammate Julia Kern as the skiers descended from the Bogong High Plains, winning in a time of 1:31:50.

Kern was able to put a good break on Aussie Olympian Casey Wright, who beat Kat Paul

SAVOY’S men’s and women’s division one teams’ seasons over over after they both lost in their elimination final clashes on Sunday.

The men’s went out in heartbreaking fashion against the Boomers, going down in an upset 2-1 loss.

After starting slow and conceding first, the Savoys were able to compose and equalise with a fantastic strike from Connor Caponecchia just after half time.

But as it looked like the Savoys had full momentum of the game, Boomers stole a goal against the flow after an unfortunate error by keeper Jacques Simian.

Coach Rob Caponecchia said his team couldn’t capitlise on their opportunities and never recovered after conceding the second Boomers’ goal.

“We had two clear cut opportunities in the first half and we couldn’t take them,” he said.

“We were on top, looking good, I thought we were on track to winning the game but we conceded a soft goal and we just couldn’t get back into the game.

“When they scored that second goal the boys just dropped, they were deflated.

“The Boomers are like that, they’ll go forward, you think they’ve got nothing and they’ll score a goal on you.

“But at the end of the day that’s soccer, and if we took our opportunities early it could have been a different story but I look at it and I don’t think we were good enough on the day to beat them.”

Caponecchia said he will try not to let the result put a damper on what was a good season for the Savoys.

“I still think we had a really successful season... the boys showed a lot of heart and a lot of willingness to do the work,” he said.

“Overall to get fourth and considering the situation with COVID and a lack of fluency in

the team, it was good, just a little bit disappointing with the way it ended Sunday.”

Meanwhile the women’s side can hold their heads high, bowing out to second placed Albury Hotspurs 3-0.

It was the fourth time the Savoys have played the Hotspurs this season and each time they improved on the result, starting from 11-0 in their first outing.

Coach Gabrielle Paglia said the girls bought into the defensive tactics and were excellent in their roles.

“I was pretty happy with the outcome, it would be nice to have some goals for ourselves or come out with a win but considering the past few games and results of those game I am really happy keeping it below that high scoring game,” she said.

“And I think everyone played really well so I’ve got no complaints.”

Paglia said it’s been pleasing to see the steady improvement in her side week by

week throughout the year.

“It definitely makes us hopeful for next year, if we look at the results coming through if we had played Hotspurs again we could have come out with a draw or a win,” she said.

“We’re still pretty happy with ourselves and excited for next year.”

Being a first year coach, Paglia said she has learnt a lot from juggling the extra responsibility and is looking forward to what the future holds.

“I was definitely difficult trying to do the playing and the coaching side... I found I was doing more coaching than playing,” she said.

“Definitely trying to balance the two was confusing, but I think I got the hang of it by the end of the year and I’m excited to see how it all plays out next year.

“I’m really glad the younger girls have stepped up this year and helped us out and have played in the senior level and have made our team what we are.”

MDBA is gearing up for a massive season

BY NATHAN DE VRIES ndevries@ nemedia.com.au

AS the days grow longer and warmer, and as summer approaches, basketball is on the minds of many in Myrtleford ahead of the Myrtleford District Basketball Association season commencing.

The official start for the domestic season is October 3, but registrations are open for anyone who wants to play, from under 12s to under 18s and older.

MDBA secretary Sarah Purss said it was a busy time for the association, with plans to expand.

“I’d say numbers are lighter than what they were pre-COVID, so that’s why we’re trying to generate some interest and grow,” she said.

“Registrations are open from Monday this week, and they’re going to close on Friday, September 16.

“We came off the back of a couple years with COVID where we ran partial seasons and we’ve just had a good season which finished up in March.

“We had quite good numbers in kids, so we usually run three age groups for boys and three age groups for girls, and we do women’s and seniors.”

Purss said the association was looking at purchasing new playing tops for sides, a long overdue upgrade from the current attire.

“There’s a lot happening, which is exciting - we’re trying to get new tops through local sponsorships, so we’ve sent out a bit of information and chasing anyone who would want to sponsor and get us some new basketball tops,” she said.

“Those basketball tops haven’t actually been updated in about 10 years.

“We’ve had lots of people who’ve reached out and want to do that, but we’re trying to get some more people as we’ve only done that through word-of-mouth, through committee members mentioning it to people that they know in the community.”

While the domestic competition

READY TO BALL: MDBA juniors (back, from left) Ben McLean, Nash Durling, Archer Hankin, Jordan Peace, Hunter Szaraszek, Khy Andersen, (front, from left) Mason Durling, Harry Purss, Kirk Quintana and Oscar Szaraszek are ready for the domestic basketball season to commence.

PHOTO: Brodie Everist is set to be a fun affair, Myrtleford’s presence on the representative level is also going to be strong.

“In the rep season, for the first time in a long time - I don’t even know if it’s the first time ever we’ve got three girls teams and five boys teams that will represent Myrtleford in rep basketball,” Purss said.

“It’s like junior CBL, the age group is under 12s up to under 18s, “Traditionally, in years gone by, they’ve been quite strong and successful in the rep program - we’re in our regrowing phase, so we did

that last season and had a great time with it.

“I think our under 12s and under 18s were the most successful - three teams went to state championships and did pretty well, playing against all of country Victoria.

“The aim is, in a couple of years, to be super strong and super competitive, and be able to send of lots of kids to be able to do that.”

To register for the MDBA season, visit the association’s Facebook page to find the link - for more information, contact Sarah Purss on 0424 345 523.

There’s a lot happening, which is exciting we’re trying to get new tops through local sponsorships, so we’ve sent out a bit of information and chasing anyone who would want to sponsor and get us some new basketball tops.

Junior Panthers through to grand final THE NEBA under 11 semi-final, played on Sunday at Targoora Park, Wangaratta, was an exciting game of baseball played against the Wodonga Warriors.

The Panthers, despite being a player short, displayed their considerable skills and team support to run out winners by a big margin.

Wodonga began with five runs and restricted Porepunkah to just three runs, despite important outfield hits

by Paige Anders and Wes Booth and a solid hit to shortstop by Ollie Brown.

In the second innings, Wodonga could only send up four batters, with Anders as the pitcher again getting involved in the outs.

In these two innings she threw out three runners, caught a fly ball and put out another.

The Panthers had no trouble in

sending the maximum seven batters to the plate in this important second innings.

All batters hit safely, beginning with a single by Yuma Meddings and big doubles by Paige and Ollie.

Some fielding changes were made in the third innings, but the outs continued - Brown, now playing third base, obtained two force outs at his base, to restrict Wodonga to five runs and tie up the score.

Harvey Hughes led off the Panthers’ third innings with a short infield hit and a pair of quick feet.

Another double by Anders and hard hits by Brown and Eamon Thomson saw a five run margin established.

The Warriors were restricted to just two runs in the fourth innings second base, Lincoln Hughes, threw

out a runner at first base, and two batters later, tagged out a passing runner before his brother Heath threw out a batter at first base.

The Panthers’ offensive pressure was relentless - Booth opened the fourth with a single to centerfield, as did Hughes and Anders for another double.

Thomson obtained his fourth safe hit for the match, in his best batting performance for the season, as the Panthers increased their score to 21.

In the last innings, Harvey Hughes as the pitcher, threw out a batter at first base, while Meddings at second base kept her glove and the ball on the runner, who when she stepped off the base was called out.

The final out was a ground ball to Anders at first base for an easy out and, at the call of time and game, the Pan-

thers were through with a 21-13 win.

Next week the Panthers play the North Albury Bears in the grand final, to be played at Gayview Park, Wodonga.

Results during the year have seen the Bears the winners on three occasions, although the last of these was by only two runs.

In their last meeting, just two weeks ago, the result was a 15-15 draw.

If a repeat of their semi final performance is achieved by the Panthers, a win is certainly on the cards.

Match details Wodonga 5-0-5-2-1=13 runs, 13 safe hits.

Porepunkah 3-7-5-6-X=21 runs, 18 safe hits-E Thomson 4, P Anders, O Brown, W Booth 3 ea, L Hughes 2, H & Harvey Hughes, Y Meddings 1 ea.

Bright B grade netballers advance to prelim final

O&K FNL FINALS UPDATE

By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN BRIGHT’s B grade netballers have produced back to back thrilling wins to advance to the preliminary finals, upsetting the Benalla All Blacks 40-36 on Sunday at North Wangaratta.

Bright got out to the faster start and held a four goal lead at half-time.

The game quickly became a tight and tense tussle as goals were hard to come by, but Bright stayed tough and were the better team when it mattered.

After coming within a draw and five goals of Benalla in their matches earlier in the year, they went one better when it counted on Sunday.

Co-coach Sarah Hourigan said she was pleasantly surprised with the girls’ performance “We managed to keep a lead all game which was fantastic, we knew we could do it and we’re keeping very positive,” she said.

Bringing across an unchanged team from last week, Bright was bolstered by Charlotte Paton in goal shooter and the reliable defensive combo of Kristi Hacket and Amy Ford.

Hourigan said they were expecting to need Paton’s size in defence, but decided to keep her at shooter which proved beneficial at both ends.

“Charlotte is a great asset to the team and we really love her in goals, she’s improving every week and it’s really showing in this finals series,” she said.

“We’ve really started making great connections in the team and we have really been focusing on just growing as a team the last few weeks, on and off the court.

“There is such a good vibe with all the netballers at the club and we’re all supporting each other through these finals, its really great to see.”

Bright will face off against Bonnie Doon in the preliminary final, who fell 13 goals short of the unbeaten Milawa, the closest any team has come to the Demons this year.

Hourigan said the girls will be going in full of confidence.

“Bonnie Doon will be a great game, we will go in with a positive mindset,” she said.

“It’s nice to get a lot of support from other clubs on game day, we’ve had so many nice comments from Benalla, Bonnie Doon and Milawa after the last few finals so it’d be great to get another win.

“It’ll be a different court and different umpires, we haven’t played at Tarrawingee for a few years so it’ll be a lot different but we’re all in high spirits that we can do it.”

Bright’s B reserve’s fairytale finals run came to an end on Sunday, suffering a 46-23 loss to Milawa.

Hourigan said she has been very impressed with the way the team fought through adversity throughout the year and to win a finals game is great reward.

“The club is so proud of how far B reserve have gotten in the finals this year,” she said.

“It’s been a great pathway for the young girls to step up and show us what they’ve got and 2023 will be an exciting year.”

THE Ovens and King FNL board yesterday released the updated fixture for the remainder of the finals series, following a match cancellation on the weekend.

The abandoned senior match between Greta and Bonnie Doon will be replayed this Saturday, September 3, from 1pm at North Wangaratta, while the preliminary final round, slated for this weekend, will be pushed back a week to Saturday 10 at Tarrawingee.

The grand final will now be played a week later than originally scheduled, on September 17 at the WJ Findlay Oval.

The decision was made by the board in consultation with the clubs involved.

Bright overmatched

by Benalla All Blacks

By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN BRIGHT senior footballers will have to play off in a preliminary final to book their grand final ticket as they were comprehensively beaten by the Benalla All Blacks 17.13 (115) to 7.14 (56) in their qualifying final on Saturday.

Benalla become the first team into the Oven and King football grand final with their win.

After coming out hot early, the Mountain Men took a small lead into quarter time in what looked to be a fiery contest through one quarter.

But the All Blacks quickly settled and flexed their muscles, getting on top in the midfield to keep Bright goalless in the second quarter and they never looked

threatened from there.

Bright coach Paul Harrison said he thought his side settled into the game well in the first quarter, but couldn’t match Benalla’s pressure around the ball.

“We really took the game on in the first quarter and were attacking, got the ball out into space so we could use the ball well,” he said.

“But after that they kicked the first two goals in the second quarter and unfortunately the boys went away from all of our structures and processes, we started kicking the ball long all the time which just played into their hands.

“Between the ears the boys fell away and went into their shell a bit and didn’t stick to the way we usually play.”

Nick Howell was best on

ground for the Mountain Men with solid performances from Michael Elliot and Harry Jamieson while Cooper Thomason hit the scoreboard with three goals.

Centurion goal kicker Lachlan Thompson was held reasonably quite, but Harrison said he will be wanting his boys to be working on intensity and endurance in the midfield throughout the remainder of the finals campaign.

“We’ve just got to be stronger in the contest for longer,” he said.

“I think the boys were a bit rusty coming off that bye, so we’ll have a big week and make sure they’re ready to go because sometimes we are pretty slow coming off a bye.”

The Mountain Men’s preliminary final opponent is currently unknown, awaiting the resched-

uling of the Greta vs Bonnie Doon match which was called off prior to half time on Sunday due to a medical emergency.

Harrison said while the extra week could cause some complications down the track for his side, he will be looking to keep his team on their toes.

“If we do have a bye we’ll have a very solid week this week,” he said.

“We’ll have a big session on Saturday, last week we didn’t have a session we just went for a swim, but we’ll have a big session to keep the boys’ mind on the job.

“Understand where the league is coming from, extending finals by a week but we’ve got two players who have holidays to go away that week and wouldn’t be available”

Senior netball season ends on a low note

By NATHAN DE VRIES SATURDAY marked the final match of the 2022 season for Myrtleford’s A grade netballers, as they were defeated by top side Corowa-Rutherglen 28-66 to finish the season eighth on the ladder.

Never an easy match up, the Saints started off well, turning the ball in their defensive end and sending it into their shooters.

However, the Roos were able to weather the storm and counter attack efficiently, taking the lead and never letting go.

The onslaught continued as Corowa-Rutherglen piled goal after goal, despite the best efforts of the Saints’ defensive unit.

Coach Tina Way said the opposition proved why

they’re the top team in the competition.

“We know it was going to be a tough game, and I just said before the game ‘we know that we’re up against it, but we still want to go out and play well for ourselves and the team and do the things we do well’, and to the girls’ credit they really did,” she said.

“We did turn a lot of ball and send it down to the attack line, but sometimes Corowa then turned it back and any missed shots, due to the height of Corowa, they’d beautifully rebound and send back down our end.”

While they were up against a tough foe, Way said the margin was a bit too wide for her liking, and not a reflection of her team’s talent.

“I thought they had a good

SEASON OVER: Saige Broz (right) and the rest of the A grade Saints played their last game of the year on Saturday, with a 66-28 loss to Corowa-Rutherglen.

PHOTO: Janet Watt game, unfortunately the score result at the end, in my opinion and the teams’ opinion, really didn’t reflect how the game played out,” she said.

“Tayla Cartwright played

A grade in goalkeeper this week and she had a fantastic game, then myself, Sophie Cappellari and Ellie Cooper in wing defence for part of the game too.

“We always aim to get

around that 50 goal mark and we were just not able to even get close to that due to their pressure of being able to turn the ball before it got to the goal.

“Them being able to turn

the ball over in the goal circle and being able to capitalise on it obviously gives them such a winning margin and is why they’re on top of the ladder.”

Despite their season being over, spirits and hope for next year are high, as the A graders prepare to cheer on the only Saints netball side who made finals, B grade.

“We can definitely build on what happened this year, and if we were to see the same seven I would definitely see movement up the ladder,” Way said.

“You never know who’s around and who moves to town or anything like that.

“The season will play out, and the off-season shenanigans begin, and we’ll see what pops up come late January.”

Bombers topple Tigers

3 McGeehan Crescent, Myrtleford. AH: 5752 2198

By BRODIE EVERIST IN a tense elimination final on Saturday, the Dederang-Mount Beauty senior footballers maintained an early lead to defeat the Barnawartha Tigers 13.14 (92) to 13.6 (84) at Sandy Creek Reserve.

The Bombers came out flying in the first quarter, booting 32 points to the Tigers’ eight.

The team was wise to take advantage of Barnawartha’s slow performance in the first term, as the Tigers’ made a resurgence in the second and third quarters.

Barnawartha shrunk the points margin in the second quarter, booting three majors, while DederangMount Beauty only booted 13 points.

Again, Barnawartha came out on top in the third quarter, booting 32 points to Dederang-Mount Beauty’s 20, bringing the points margin to only seven leading into the final term.

Goals from both teams saw the scores grow in a tussle for the lead, but the Bombers’ managed to stay ahead by eight points when the final siren sounded.

Connor Brodie was named best on ground, with special mentions for Elliott Powell, Damien Jones, Jordan Harrington, Brady Johnson and Phil Bellingham.

This Saturday Dederang-Mount Beauty will play their semifinal match at Sandy Creek Reserve against the Kiewa Hawks, who were defeated by Beechworth last week.

The Dederang-Mount Beauty reserves squandered an early lead to Barnawartha on Saturday, losing 5.6 (36) to 11.10 (76).

Despite ending the first quarter with a seven point lead, the Bombers were ground down by the Tigers and ultimately conceded a 30-point loss.

Ryan Coates was named best on ground, with mentions for Geordie Taylor, Thomas Hofert, Ryan Watson, Bo Helwig and Brad Chant.

At the Dederang-Mount Beauty Football Netball Club presentation night on August 20, Sharon Coulston and Andrew Chalmers were awarded life membership to the club, while Mark Flay and Eva Chalmers were awarded Best Junior Clubperson.

According to club president Richie Kreuzer, Ms Coulston has been with the club for over 20 years in various roles, while Mr Chalmers is a trainer with the club and helps out with netball, raceday and in many other areas.

Senior, reserve Saints sail through to finals TWO of Myrtleford’s three football sides qualified for finals on Saturday against CorowaRutherglen, with the reserves home by 96 points and the seniors winning 20.13 (133) to the Roos’ 10.10 (70).

The Myrtleford thirds missed out on their own finals ticket by just three points, downed by the Roos 8.11 (59) to 8.8 (56) to finish in sixth.

It was a slow start for the seniors, trailing by 17 points and playing low-intensity footy, before the Saints kicked into gear.

A 7.8 to 1.1 second quarter rocketed Myrtleford to the lead, where they would stay for the remainder of the match.

The win was vital in securing both the fifth spot on the ladder, and the coveted place in the finals.

Senior co-coach Dawson Simpson said his players adapted well from a poor first term.

COVERING THE ALPINE VALLEYS AND HIGH COUNTRY

BY NATHAN DE VRIES ndevries@ nemedia.com.au

“Our intensity was alright, it just wasn’t at the level that it needed to be for a finals berth, so it had to go up,” he said.

“In the quarter-time break we addressed a couple of little things that Corowa were trying to do, they were trying to play on at all costs and take the game on, and we were a bit stagnant and sloe to get on top of them around contests, and we just had to be a bit harder.

“Once we ironed a few creases out and the boys’ intensity went up, the flow was evident from the first 10 seconds of the second quarter that they knew what they were doing wasn’t good enough and they wanted some changes.

The Alpine Alive supplement is the ultimate guide for locals and visitors alike, who are keen to explore everything the wonderful Alpine Valley and High Country has to offer.

“It was a great feeling to see the boys fight back and get on top.”

Young Ryley Bouker was named best on ground for his powerhouse performance up forward supported

by Ryley Sharp, kicking five goals apiece.

“Obviously Ryley Sharp needs no introduction for his goal kicking ability, but it was a real coming-ofage game for Ryley Bouker, who just excelled,” Simpson said.

“His confidence from the first quarter, he was marking everything that came his way, every time he kicked the footy he hit a target.

“In front of goals, he was kicking them from outside 50, from in front, snapping it around his body and running past and through packs.

“It was fantastic to watch, and it was a really pleasing performance from a young man who has been ready for a breakout game for a while and it was

The match also marked a milestone for two of the club’s favourite sons, with Brady Sharp and Brody Ricardi notching up their 100th senior game for the Saints.

The senior Saints will take on Wangaratta Rovers this Sunday at the Albury Sports Ground in an elimination final from 2pm, while the reserves play Albury at 11.45am.

“Whilst we have been able to get a couple wins this year, we’re under no illusions it’s going to be a very difficult match for us,” Simpson said.

“They’ve got some weapons all over the ground, and we’ve got to be careful not to let them get out of hand.

“If we put our best foot forward, we’ve got no doubt that we’re in for a good shot, but at the same time they’re a hard match-up, they’re a fantastic outfit.”

Friends prepare for September Timor trip

By ANITA McPHERSON

FOUR members of local group Friends of Lacluta are bound for Timor Leste next month; the first time a visit has been possible since the arrival of COVID more than two years ago.

Rabela Punif from Springhurst, Linda Sexton from Wangaratta and Karen Jones and Jess Ruiz from Myrtleford, will head over to Lacluta for a multifaceted venture to the country they support, where they look forward to meeting recently appointed Friend of Lacluta liaison officer, Ebron Amaral.

Linda said the group wanted to wait until such time that it was safe and they would be welcome to visit, but it is also fortuitous as Rabela and Karen will be part of the rollout of the educational play booklet they created, “Learn and play in your home”, to local communities.

The booklet is a home-based parent resource for children’s learning through play and it includes photographs taken by the pair and also illustrations by Lacluta-born Benny Gonsalves - a longtime friend and assistant to the Friends of Lacluta in Timor Leste.

While the project was initially supported by the June Canavan Foundation to help get 1000 copies printed, it drew the attention of the New Zealand Foreign Affairs and Trade Aid Program and the Ministry of Education in Timor Leste, who will roll it out to 20,000 homes across Timor Leste.

A regular visitor to Timor Leste, Karen said as soon as she knew she was able to visit again, she felt her heart light up.

“I just wanted to go back and meet everyone again and see how they’re going,” she said.

■

◆ Friends of Lacluta’s Karen Jones and Rabela Punif are looking forward to returning to Timor in September.

Cat over-grooming SOME cats may constantly meow or groom themselves to the extent that they have large bald patches.

When cats over-groom, this can be due to physical reasons or behavioural reasons.

For a cat that is over-grooming, a physical examination is conducted first with other diagnostic tests like blood tests, radiographs and skin biopsies sometimes required.

The most common cause of overgrooming is flea allergy dermatitis which is when a cat is allergic to the bite of a flea.

When fleas bite, they inject a small amount of saliva into the cat and that saliva component allows the blood to be sucked up easily by the flea.

It is this saliva that the cats become allergic to and means that every time a flea bites, it starts up an extremely irritating reaction that causes the cat to lick and/or bite itself.

If the cat is over-grooming at the area of the base of the tail, this is almost always due to flea allergy.

Treating fleas on a continual basis to prevent the cat being bitten (rather than just killing them when they bite) resolves many cases of over-grooming.

For cases where the cause of over-

with Ovens and Kiewa Veterinary Hospital grooming is behavioural, the cat may be feeling anxious or it may be stereotypic behaviours.

Constant meowing may also indicate anxiety.

When these conditions are diagnosed it is advisable to attempt to link exposure to situations that may lead to anxiety and not to pat or talk softly to the cat when it exhibits the behaviour because this reinforces the fearful response rather than reassure it. Spend 10 to 15 minutes per day at a set time playing, grooming and otherwise interacting with the cat on its own, provide a variety of toys and alternate them weekly or grow an indoor garden of safe plants such as catnip or catmint for the cat to use.

Behaviour modification takes time and effort and can be a slow process but have been shown to be effective in most cases of anxiety-related and obsessivecompulsive disorders.

Dedicate at least a four week period to start and then reassess the situation.

If you are having difficulty please don’t hesitate to contact your vet to discuss.

◆ HARDY: The Stypandra Glauca or nodding blue lily are extremely resilient and can survive for many years with minimal care.

PHOTO: Helen Van Riet

Stypandra Glauca - nodding blue lily SIMILAR to many Australian native plants, the nodding blue lily (Stypandra glauca) does not draw attention to itself until it bursts into bloom in early spring.

With its grass-like foliage, this member of the lily family blends in with other grasses and low-growing shrubs.

From early August, clusters of bright blue (and occasionally white) star flowers, centred with bright yellow stamens festoon the grassy clump.

Stypandra glauca is a member of the Phormiaceae family (from the Greek phormus meaning basket, referring to a use of the leaf fibres).

Stypandra - from the Greek stype for flax fibres and aner man, in reference to the staminal filament hairs which are beard like in appearance. Glauca - from the Greek glaukos meaning sea green which refers to the colour of the foliage.

Glauca also means ‘having bloom’. Bloom is a white-grey powdery coating which can occur on the surface of leaves or fruit. Bloom causes leaves to have a bluish-grey or bluish-green appearance.

The blue green lanceolate leaves hug flexible stems. The older leaves age to brown giving a shaggy appearance.

S. glauca occurs naturally in Victoria and most other Australian states. It is commonly found in the Warby Ovens National Park, Mt Buffalo National Park and the Great Dividing Range.

Although it has the appearance of a shrub, S. glau-

ca is actually more closely related to lilies. For this reason, it cannot be grown from stem cuttings.

Seed is shed soon after maturity. This can be collected by covering spent flower heads with fine mesh, for later collection of mature seed. Plant the seed directly into the permanent position in autumn. Seed can germinate erratically. Seed is also available commercially, and plants are available from specialist nurseries.

Propagation by dividing old clumps in winter into substantial sections for replanting is usually successful. Large divisions will give the best chance for survival of the new clumps. In the wild, S. glauca is adapted to fire. Old clumps will grow back from rhizomatous roots after fire with fresh new growth. To recreate fire conditions, once a year remove old growth at the base of the clumps and add a slow-release all-round fertiliser to the soil.

Mature clumps can reach between 600mm and 1.5m high x 1m in width.

S. glauca is not a good choice for a manicured garden. But for gardeners who prefer a more relaxed effect, plants can be successfully incorporated into mixed grasslands or under-planted in dappled shade.

Flowering is more prolific if the plants are well-watered during dry periods. However, this species is very resilient, and will survive for many years with minimal care.

WINE TALK

YOUR HEALTH Buller Wines RLB Pinot Grigio 2021

THE rising cost of living has touched us all in more ways than one, but nothing triggered quite such an emotional response as the notion of the price of chicken going up.

Petrol might have hit the back pocket hardest, the cost of cheap coffee in convenience stores doubled, but to some, the idea of paying a few dollars more for a parma seemed outrageous.

Australia’s favourite pub meal has long been cheap, particularly given their gargantuan size, the weight of toppings piled aboard and the accompanying kilo of chips, so I’ve no doubt the fans will cough up the extra gold coins to get one, albeit grudgingly.

And whether you call it a parma, parmie or a schnitty, a good piece of juicy chicken coated in crispy crumbs is ideal with a glass of Buller Wines Pinot Grigio.

Buller Wines was established in Rutherglen in 1921 by Reginald Langdon Buller and the new RLB Range celebrates Reginald’s pioneering spirit.

The fruit is picked and processed in the cool of the night which helps preserve the delicate aromas of the Pinot Grigio which

with Anita McPherson

are bright, fruit-filled and intense.

The straw coloured wine is crisp and dry with lingering flavours of ripe pear and a hint of honeyed quince.

The wine is an ideal, fresh and fruity accompaniment for the crunch of the chicken, countering its fatty juices, and it would also be perfect with fish and chips.

Now putting up the price of a pot up too? That would be criminal. About $17.

This Day in History, 1934 EXCITEMENT was in the air at Eldorado - the anticipation of new wealth from the old mines.

At the end of the 1920s the mines had closed and the fortunes of the town sagged more than most in the early years of the Depression.

However, on August 31, 1934 Cocks Pioneer mine was being pumped out, ready to be worked again. A giant 285hp electric motor had been coupled to a 16” centrifugal pump, capable of delivering a staggering 4000 gallons per minute from the old claim into Reid’s Creek.

With Eldorado connected into the state power grid, all the new mine equipment installed during the Golden Thirties was electric and the small town became the SEC’s largest customer after Melbourne and Geelong.

with Sophie Lorback (BHSCI. NATUROPATHY) ◆ TAKE CARE OF IT: Our skin is our largest organ.

Winter skin needs special care OUR skin is our largest organ and needs a constant supply of lymphatic fluid and blood flow to nourish it.

Its health is influenced by hormones, immunity, toxicity and emotions.

Our skin is a protective layer that aids our body in fluid regulation, detoxification and vitamin D synthesis, as well as protecting us against infections.

Time spent under heaters and cold winter winds dehydrates and strips these protective layers of the skin.

You might not think of food when you look in the mirror and see acne, cold sores, eczema, psoriasis or dandruff, but what you put in your mouth has a big effect on this massive organ.

Naturopaths top five tips for healthy skin: 1. Restore your skin’s lustre with healthy oils and minerals

- swap deep fried foods and vegetable oils for a daily dose of healthy oils found in avocado, olive oil, fish, and flax seed.

This is a great way to hydrate dry skin and regulate the sebum content of oily skin; 2. Water - helps with circulation and moves wastes away from the skin. Dry skin means you are dry on the inside; 3. Movement - exercise helps to clear up the skin by increasing oxygen and blood flow to the surface. It doesn’t have to be much, even a walk and then using a shower brush to run circles over your skin before a shower will help; 4. Detox - ask your naturopath for a specific detox to cleanse your filter organs, which restore the skin; and 5. Identify dietary intolerances - determine and remove chemical and dietary allergens that contribute to poor skin health.

Friends prepare for September Timor trip ■

From page 1

“For Rabela and me, having worked on the play booklet during COVID, we’ve been patiently waiting for it to be rolled out.

“It was meant to be a small project but it grew - and it’s very exciting now that it’s going to be utilised right across the country and not just in our communities.”

Timorese-born Rabela said she will be the first of the team to arrive, visiting Dili and then her home district of Oecussi where she will visit family and support the delivery of the booklets.

“I’m excited and looking forward to providing training on the booklet to the teachers for early childhood and especially kindergartens in Oecussi where I’m from,” she said.

“The booklet is not only for our communities but across the country, so it’s a big thing for us to see how it goes.”

Karen and Rabela said most children don’t have any books in their home, so this will be a precious resource to give them with lots of ideas through pictures and drawings, but also

with information for parents about children’s developmental outcomes.

For Peruvian-born Jess Ruiz, it will be her first trip to Lacluta, having only recently joined the friends group, and she’s excited about the opportunity to immerse herself in the Timorese community.

She will be arriving in late September and will support the rest of the team in their work on the ground during visits to local villages.

“I joined the Friends of Lacluta this year and I thought it was a good idea for me to see firsthand what is happening there and to see what the association does in the community there,” she said.

Linda said the four will fit many task into their visit over a couple of weeks, including meeting their tertiary scholarship students in Dili, living with and visiting communities they have established relationships with, and visiting schools and kindergartens where Karen will mentor teachers.

She said they will deliver reusable menstrual kits to year nine students, and mother and

baby kits to the birthing centre, while meeting with community leaders to find out what else might be helpful.

“It gives us a chance to also see how our projects are going, what is working, what we can do differently and what else may be needed,” she said.

“For instance, recently we’ve been working with children with disabilities and advocating on their behalf, so it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to be in the community, meet with people and ensure what we do is relevant and useful.”

They also look forward to getting to know and working with their English-speaking liaison officer Ebron, who is sponsored by the Uniting Church in Wangaratta, and plays a pivotal communication role for Friends of Lacluta on the ground.

In the years since they visited there have also been severe storms and flooding, so just how the villages and local infrastructure like roads have been affected, is something they’ll soon find out.

For those wanting to find out more about

THE mere sound of his voice reminds us of the importance of caring for our environment, and at 96, David Attenborough remains a vital cog in the planet’s ecological future.

Penguin has released the paperback edition of Attenborough’s ‘A Life on Our Planet’, which features a new afterword, ‘Why You Are Here’, a speech he made at the opening of the COP26 climate summit held in Glasgow last year.

With the 2022 Federal election showing that climate action is a top priority for Australians, this is a timely release of the book which was first delivered in hardcover in 2020.

From recent floods on the east coast to the extreme fire events of 2019-’20, and the hundreds of Australian native species which are in danger of becoming extinct over the next decades, the damage to the environment is evident, and it’s clear something needs to be done.

‘A Life on Our Planet’ is Attenborough’s ‘witness statement and vision for the future’.

It reflects on his work and the dramatic changes to the planet he has witnessed, and suggests what we can do to make a better future.

It’s both a warning of what could be if we don’t act now, and hope for what could be if we start to make a change.

Attenborough says while exploring his home around Leicester as an 11-year-old “it never occurred to me to be anything other than fascinated when watching what was going on in the natural world around me”.

“I had believed from an early age that the most important knowledge was that which brought an understanding of how the natural world worked,” he writes.

“It was not the laws invented by human beings that interested me, but the principles that governed the lives of animals and plants; not the history of kings and queens, or even the different languages that had been developed by different human societies, but the truths that had governed the world around me long before humanity had appeared in it.”

The book features photographs from Attenborough’s travels across his career, many of them in brilliant colour to highlight the amazing - and sometimes disturbing - sights to which he’s borne witness.

In addition to the afterword, there is a glossary enabling those eager to increase their knowledge by learning from a wise master to fully grasp a range of environmental terms.

As Attenborough writes in the opening chapter of the book, “I have had the most extraordinary life. It is only now that I appreciate how extraordinary”.

Why wouldn’t we take the opportunity to educate our-

A spring in your step this wedding season SPRING is the most popular wedding season and it’s no surprise really as the gorgeous wedding themes, beautiful flowers and a desire to get out and enjoy the warmth after winter are in abundance.

October is the most popular choice within the season and these days there are many options for where and what your day will look like whether you have an intimate gathering or a huge party for your wedding, vow renewal, commitment ceremony or something in between.

Events of the past couple of years have seen an increase in people wanting to renew their vows now that family and friends can get together again and share the commitment the couple made to each other.

Vow renewal ceremonies are not legally binding and you can renew your vows as many times as you like.

Doing so often makes couples feel closer and gives them a sense of togetherness as it is a celebration of marriage and a reinforcement of the union and promise made

on their original wedding day.

For some couples, there is no better way to commemorate a milestone wedding anniversary such as the first, 10th, 25th or even 50th, than with a vow renewal ceremony.

Wedding registries While less popular now than in the past, newlyweds may nominate a website or retail store their guests can choose to purchase a gift from.

Often noted on the wedding invitation will be the store where the register is offered or a copy will be mailed with the invitation.

There is no requirement to choose something from the couple’s registry specifically, although for some couples they might request it specifically.

Giving the perfect wedding speech You will need about three months to prepare for a speech, eight minutes for the ideal length and 25 practises of saying it out loud.

The perfect wedding speech has around 960 words and ‘experts’ say that

GIFT REGISTRY: Some couples still register their gift wishes with a store or website.

45 seconds is the longest time you should spend on one story or anecdote

while two is the maximum number of toasts you should give.

Of course the number and type of jokes you include will depend entirely

on the couple, the audience and how well you think you can tell the punchline.

BETH Hulley’s mother was rarely in family photos as she was always the one taking the pictures.

After her passing, Beth realised how precious the photos of herself, her brothers and her father were, and how absent her mother’s presence was.

That absence inspired Beth to become a family photographer and her business has grown to include weddings, newborn and lifestyle photography.

“Initially, I wanted to capture those real moments for others, moments that mums and dads could be part of, instead of being behind the camera,” Beth said.

“Photographing families and couples led me to photographing weddings and I now regularly photograph these couples’ growing families.

“I adore the bubbling excitement of weddings, the raw unapologetic love people show for one another, the bear hugs and the secret glances between lovers

when they think no one is watching.

“I love observing the magic unfold and capturing it, and telling it back in a story of photos.”

Beth can photograph micro weddings or large events and says her style is very natural and candid.

“If you are looking for a photographer who is low key, low stress, but still pays high attention to detail, contact me.

“I have photographed extensively around the North East, however I will also travel several hours from home if that is your wish.”

Choosing the perfect outfit SPRING weddings mean you are spoiled with a choice of colours whether you are the bride or a guest.

Whether you want to break out that floral print dress you’ve had tucked away in the wardrobe all winter, go full black tie, take advantage of a casual jumpsuit or some combination of them all, there is a style to suit you.

The nights can still be chilly though so if you opt for something without long sleeves, complement your look with a tailored jacket or coat, a sophisticated woollen jacket or a shawl.

Brides in 2022 and beyond are opting for pairings of pinks and blues within or alongside their traditional white wedding dress, with styles that would not be out of place at a gala or film premiere.

Plunging necklines, sheer dresses and two-piece outfits are high on the list of ‘wants’ for brides, along with floral designs and stitching on their dresses.

Party piece YOUR wedding day; what a day to celebrate.

What are you thinking for your wedding dress?

Does it go with a traditional veil?

Are you changing into a fabulous party dress and ready for something fun and playful?

A headband is an easy-towear option that will look great on everyone.

Wedding headbands can be decorative and floral, or simple yet stunning.

Inspired by the Beyonce classic Crazy in Love, Lauren J Ritchie has created a metallic headband which adds a pop of sparkle to any look and is something special for the ceremony and perfect for a party into the night.

Lauren recently had the honour of creating a custom headband for a stunning bride using the same material and beads that were on her dress.

“Looking for something

unique to help complete her outfit and help style her hair, she came to me with the fabric from her dress designer and we found the perfect shape for her,” Lauren said.

“I then worked with the material to create her a custom one of kind headband that was just for her.”

Contact Lauren at www. laurenjritchie.com to help you find the perfect piece for your special day.

TRENDING: Many brides are opting for dresses that would suit art or film openings as well as weddings.

Another trend making a comeback is puff sleeves and although it might not be the fashion that many would choose, the 80s do make a

great theme when it comes to choosing music to keep your guests entertained on the dancefloor long into the night.

INSPIRING: This metallic headpiece by Lauren J Ritchie Millinery was inspired by Beyonce and modelled by Erin Ritchie.

The perfect bouquet for your big day LINDY from Flowers By Lindy loves selecting flowers, brainstorming ideas and the creativity of working out the mechanics of installations when preparing flower arrangements for weddings.

“I pick from my own garden in the King Valley and am accredited to buy from the Melbourne flower market in Epping but I also like to use as many of our fabulous local micro flower growers and wholesalers which in turn helps support the broader Australian flower industry,” Lindy said.

“It takes knowledge and experience to condition flowers properly so they are at their optimum for the day and I prefer to utilise seasonal flowers whenever possible.”

Lindy loves working with couples, venues and vendors to help create a magical wedding day and can incorporate sentimental items into arrangements such as a relative’s wedding dress lace or items that belong to a loved one who is not able to attend.

Lindy travels for weddings right across the North East from the King Valley and Mansfield to Albury and Myrtleford.

She also delivers flowers daily to Wangaratta, the King Valley, Ovens Valley and surrounds Monday to Saturday and orders can be placed by calling 0428 284 331.

“There are so many wonderful wedding vendors around the North East and their experience and quality of service is equal to or better than those you will find in the city,” Lindy said.

Lindy recommends couples approach vendors as soon as they have set a date as venues, caterers, photographers, cake makers, event planners and florists are all very busy and the more notice you can give them, the more chance you have of securing the ones you want.

EMBRACING SEASONAL TONES: Autumn-leafed maples surrounded the Bright Chalet gardens which was the perfect inspiration for Flowers by Lindy’s arrangements.
