A DIVERSE program that explores gender in great opera, women’s histories, journeys to asylum and ‘world-building’ at the heart of contemporary fairytales is a sign that Beechworth Arts Council is setting out on a fresh path. These are some of the ingredients of the seventh edition of its Writers, Readers and Poets’ Weekend to be staged in Beechworth from February 10 to 12. The council’s new president, Jamie Kronborg, and vice president, Daren John Pope, have added to the mix a few opportunities for participants to plunge into art. These include writing a word on a card and holding it up in a booth for a photograph by artist Inga Hanover so she can build what she describes as an “automatic” poem. “These digital images of WRAP participants will be bound into a book,” says Inga – who, since 2014, has daily illustrated what now amount to more than 700 pages of Marcel Proust’s Remembrance of things past/In search of lost time. The seven-volume work by the French author, who lived 1871 to 1922, totals 2605 pages. The digital image project during WRAP at Beechworth’s George Kerferd Hotel borrows from singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. “As he has recently won the Nobel prize for literature, think (Dylan’s) ‘Subterranean homesick blues’, where he holds up flash cards with words,” Inga says. The deliberately eclectic approach to the weekend’s programming is one that Jamie and Daren John describe as ‘the way of the world’. “We’re trying to offer workshops and discussions that encourage those who come to explore ideas at the edge and to discover fresh and challenging things,” Jamie said. continued page |

GARDEN HINTS
Endless summer AS we enter the final month of summer, temperatures are heating up. With February traditionally the hottest month, life in the summer garden can be tough. As the gardens struggle during these periods of extreme heat, keep the garden and yourselves hydrated. Watering is the main task in the garden now. Watch for signs of stress. Don’t water during the heat of the day, water early in the morning or in the evening. Water plants deeply every two or three days, although during very hot spells some plants may need daily/ twice daily watering. Some plants may wilt or suffer scorch in the hot sun and winds. Provide some shade, move pots or try Drought Shield, which is sprayed on the leaves to help protect the foliage. Monitor the moisture levels of pot plants and don’t allow them to dry out. Once potting mix dries out, it becomes hydrophobic and repels water. It shrinks away from the edge of the pot so that the water mainly runs down the sides and out the bottom. Rehydrate spent potting mix by using a soil wetting agent to help improve water absorption. Plants, especially the vegetable garden and fruiting trees, will also benefit from a feed so apply a liquid
NEW ADVENTURES: There are plenty of ways you can keep within budget when planning your next holiday.
Ways to save on travel this year WITH the end of summer holidays and the start of the new year in full swing, many people are dreaming of future vacations. With most people returning to work and in need of something fun to look forward to, this is one of the busiest times to book travel. According to Cashrewards, already in the past month Australian consumers have spent over $450 million online on travel alone and are predicted to spend $7.5 billion on travel for the rest of the year. Lorica Clarke, shopping expert, world traveller and co-founder of Cashrewards, loves a great holiday and has travelled to many exotic locations all over the world. Lorica knows how savvy consumers need to be to find a great deal on holidays and wants to share her tips on how to save on travel this year. Her tips include: t #PPL BU UIF SJHIU UJNF GPS UIF right time To get the best deals you need to know when and where to look. February is the best time to buy early bird Europe tickets for the latter part of the season. However, if you would prefer a holiday in the US – the cheapest
time to go is November so book your flights around April for the best deals. Make sure when booking that your travel dates are flexible and you avoid school holidays (if possible). This will ensure cheaper flights and more availability on those flights so you can occupy more than one seat on a long flight. Plan ahead - the earlier you buy the more you save If you’re going to be travelling domestically book six months in advance to save on flights and accommodation. If you’re travelling internationally book 12 months in advance. Most airlines increase their prices closer to departure date to secure those last-minute flyers that will pay any price. Avoid this and book early before the cheaper flights or accommodation sell out. t #VZ POMJOF #VZJOH POMJOF JT B HPPE XBZ UP reduce costs and you can shop around for smart ways to save. t $IPPTF UIF CFTU WBMVF destination for your budget Travellers are starting the year with the Australian dollar
strengthening to become the best performing major currency in the world. The AUD has risen considerably in the last 12 months against the following currencies: UK, Malaysia, China, Argentina, Philippines, India, Norway, Hungary, Denmark and Vietnam to name a few. Head over to the UK where the DVSSFODZ EVF UP UIF #SFYJU WPUF JT working favourably and has made it the best time in 20 years for "VTUSBMJBOT UP USBWFM UP #SJUBJO Right now there are so many destinations in South East Asia, the sub-continent or South America that are great value as well as really exciting destinations. Not only is the exchange rate great but the cost of living is significantly lower than in Australia so your dollar will go much, much further. t 1BDLBHF JU VQ When purchasing flights and accommodation separately, it can become quite expensive. Try buying package deals that can save you a lot of money in the end. Most of the travel websites will offer this online as well as travel agents.

fertiliser fortnightly, watering the foliage and the root zone. Prune stone fruit after they have fruited in late summer. Prune to a workable height and open vase shape for good airflow. Dispose of any rotting fruit which has fallen from the trees. When perennials have finished flowering, cut them back to promote another flower flush. Tall bearded iris can be dug and divided now. Discard the old centre, trim leaves and replant with the surface of the rhizome just above soil level. Water in well. Edible crops should be at their peak. Keep harvesting, the more you pick, the more they produce. And there is still time to plant another crop of tomatoes and sweet corn. The tomatoes will be flowering and fruiting again by mid-autumn. Happy gardening.

VETS CORNER
FEATURE STORY
Keeping guinea pigs as pets GUINEA pigs make great pets for children and adults. Most guinea pigs live for around 5-6 years, they are inexpensive to buy and most pet shops sell them. Guinea pigs should be housed in a secure cage to protect them from predators, which can include the family cat and dog. As they are herbivores, they like to eat grass, hay, vegetables and some fruit. A guinea pig pellet or mix can also be fed. Guinea pigs need to obtain vitamin C from their diet so they must have access to vegetables such as carrots, capsicum and tomatoes. Leafy green vegetables such as kale, spinach and brussel sprouts contain vitamin C also. Access to fresh water at all times is important, drinker bottles are very useful for this, however, it is probably a good
idea to have a dish of water as well, especially when you get a new guinea pig in case they haven’t yet learnt to use a sipper bottle. As they are social animals it is usually a good idea to have two guinea pigs, however, if you don’t want to breed make sure you buy two of the same sex. If you are planning on breeding the females should be bred for the first time when they are less than seven months old, if you wait until they are older the pelvis can fuse and birthing difficulties can arise. The gestation period for guinea pigs is usually between 63 and 70 days. Generally guinea pigs have very few health problems, things to look out for are mange or dermatitis which is usually caused by mites, foot problems can occur if they are kept on hard surfaces or wire floors.
If the diet doesn’t contain enough fibre occasionally their teeth may need trimming. It is important to protect them from extreme heat or cold, adequate bedding and shelter in winter will prevent this. In summer, shade, adequate water and adding frozen water bottles to the cage can help keep them cool. Dr Annette Kelleher Veterinarian

“We’re delighted that writers of the calibre of Peter Rose, for example, and the feminist-activist poet and author Hayley Louise Singer are going to encourage participants towards those borders.â€? Rose, raised in Wangaratta, is Australian Book Review editor and author of a memoir, Rose Boys, a compelling family story about Robert Rose (son of Bob), and time spent growing up in the North East. He is also one of Australia’s leading opera performance critics and at WRAP will explore gender and diversity, feminism and power in the libretti of the key works of Wagner and Verdi. “It could be seen as ‘right out there’ as a subject,â€? says Jamie. “But it’s an intriguing topic given the welcome and tremendous shift to gender equality in our own time. “How did these nineteenthcentury composers and their male librettists interpret the women of their imagined worlds, such as BrĂźnnhilde in The Ring and Violetta in La Traviata?â€? Hayley Singer, a University of Melbourne creative writing lecturer, says history is made up of remembered stories, acknowledged events and celebrated lives. Her WRAP workshop will encourage participants to explore women’s histories, particularly those of women from Stanley about whom information has been sourced from the Stanley Athenaeum archives. WRAP will also feature panel discussion about searching for asylum in a fractured world in which, by the end of 2014, almost 60 million people had been described as “forcibly displacedâ€?. Some refugee students who last July spent a homestay weekend with Beechworth families are returning to participate in this discussion about

Wangaratta storyteller and illustrator Chris Febvre will also present a workshop about augmenting reality and character construction in modern fairytales, while Yackandandah playwrights Beverley Lello, Kate Rotherham, Lisa Mason and Brendan Hogan and singer-songwriter Pete Denahy will discuss monologue development for their collaborative stage play, From here to there.

FISHING FOCUS
Cod fishing remains strong
CATCH OF THE WEEK
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
STABLE weather patterns and barometer have led to some amazing cod fishing across North East Victoria over the past week. I have had reports from right across the region, and have had some great cod fishing myself. Last week Jason Fisher and I fished the Ovens River in Wangaratta. It was reasonably slow going, with Jason landing a little trout cod and I missed out altogether. Later in the week, as things were starting to become stable my mate Jayson Pratt and I fished the same spot and caught nine cod between us - seven of which were trout cod and two were Murray cod. All of the fish were caught on bait and under 20cm long. On Sunday evening I fished the same spot again, this time with Adam Gatty and Monique Walker. This time the fishing was red hot and we landed around 10 fish again in a three hour period - this time there was just two trout cod and eight Murray cod, which ranged from around 30cm to around 50cm. The moral to the story is that as the barometer and the water level all became stable, the Murray cod fishing became fantastic. All of our cod were caught using cheese and worms for bait. What is very interesting to note is that with all of the cod my friends and I have caught this season, I have not seen a single carp landed from the Ovens River in Wangaratta.

5 6 OUTFISHED: Jason Fisher outfished me with this small trout cod last week. The Ovens River in Wangaratta is absolutely teeming with these small trout cod at the moment, a wonderful sign of a healthy river system. Just quickly, I fished Lake William Hovell with my mate Lindsay Knowles last Tuesday and we caught around 30 redfin and one small rainbow trout between us while fishing from our kayaks. One of the redfin was a nice fish
of around 30cm, but the rest were all small. The big redfin was trolled on a Halco ‘crazy deep’ lure, and everything else was caught on Strike Tiger nymph soft plastics in the new ‘Orange Spawn’ colour.

“Me time” essential PARENTING is a full time job. There are no lunch breaks, no sick leave and definitely no annual leave. And if you are lucky enough, you will have more than one child to “occupy” your time. Commonly in clinic we hear particularly mums say, “I’ve lost myself in my kids”, “I don’t have a hobby anymore”, “I have no time for myself”. Parents feel guilty for taking “time out” from their family. We hear parents say “my children are my life”, “my kids come before my partner”, “my children’s sport is more important than mine”. What example is this setting our children? What good are we doing by neglecting our own mental, spiritual and physical health? Are we being the best parent we can be by giving 110 per cent to our children and nothing to ourselves or our partner? If you give all of yourself to parenting and neglect your partner where does that leave your relationship when they grow older and move out?

BY NATUROPATHS SOPHIE LORBACK AND BELINDA MCPHERSON (BHSCI. NATUROPATHY)
As my children get older and their “needs” from mum change, I realise how important it is to be a role model for them. To show them that you can “have it all” but sometimes you just can’t have it all at the same time. Sometimes I am like an experienced juggling clown with all balls gracefully flying through the air. And sometimes one ball is barely leaving the hand before the others are rolling away on the floor and my clown makeup is smudged and running down my face. I hope this teaches my children that sometimes… you know what happens, and you need to either assess it, learn from it or do it better next time. For most parents, hobbies or interests need to fill your energy tank, not deplete it. So things like yoga, Pilates, walking,
swimming, meeting friends regularly are important to restore and revitalise your body. Things like running long distances, x fit, excessive caffeine consumption and late night parties are avoided to reduce depletion of energy and nutrients like magnesium, Vitamin B and additional adrenal stress/fatigue. So, how do we get rid of parent guilt? In my mind, we don’t. We learn to balance, prioritise and negotiate our time with family, friends, work and schedule some time for us. Is it any wonder that you aren’t sleeping well/ have low energy/ are stressed or anxious if you aren’t feeding your body good food and nourishing your passions/interests? Touch base with your naturopath to see how small changes can improve your health today.

Beef cheek tacos
Dry Rosato Around $20
THIS zesty recipe from the Meat and Livestock Association makes for a crowd pleasing summer meal for four. More recipes like this can be found at www.beefandlamb.com.au. Method 1. To prepare the marinade, combine the chilli powder, dried oregano, beef stock and shallots in a glass dish. Add the beef cheeks to marinade and rub all over. Cover with cling film and marinate for 30 minutes or preferably overnight. 2. To cook the beef cheeks, preheat the oven to 160°C. Afterwards, bring the pan to a medium heat, and add one tablespoon of oil. Remove the beef and garlic from the marinade and brown in the pan. Add stock and shallots, and brown for a further five minutes. Cover tightly with foil and a lid, and place in oven for three hours or until the beef is very tender. Remove pot from the oven, and then carefully remove the foil and lid, before setting aside. 3. Meanwhile, to make the salad, combine all the vegetables into a large bowl and place into the fridge until ready. Cover the red onions with half of the lemon juice and set aside. When ready to serve the salad, whisk lemon juice, water, salt and pepper together and drizzle over. 4. To prepare tortillas, consult the packet for instructions. Shred the meat using a fork, and place into corn tortillas, top with pickled onion, and serve with salad on the side.
WITH ANITA McPHERSON complementary fruit varieties in the delicately dry mix. The eye catching orangepink colour is beautiful to look at and the wine imparts a gentle, musky rose aroma with a hint of fresh lemon. Great when chilled, it has a soft mouth feel and the flavour is refreshingly savoury with a hint of cherry fruit and a touch of toffee apple before the crisp, fresh finish. It’s a wine that was as delicious with last week’s lamb cutlets as it was with the roast duck we tucked into on Chinese New Year. Call it a multicultural crowd pleaser. Taste while enjoying lunch at the cellar door in Oxley or go to www.sammiranda. com.au.

CHOOSING a wine variety which will go with just about everything you could find on a menu at this time of year can sometimes be a challenge. It can also be hard to find a wine that everyone will enjoy, particularly when your Australia Day spread can include everything from lamb chops and meat pies, to Pavlova and lamingtons. Many of us also give a nod to our cultural background, so there may be spring rolls or pizza in the mix, or perhaps even the controversial “Aussie” ham, egg and pineapple version. This year we were happy to include lamb in our festive mix, so Sam Miranda’s Dry Rosato was just right for the table.

Could a temporary assignment cure your career blues?
A
re you feeling stale or bored in your existing role? Do you need to refresh your career or find a new challenge for 2017? If so, a temporary assignment could be the solution to curing your career blues. “Temporary assignments can give your career a boost just when you need it,� says Nick Deligiannis, Managing Director of Hays in Australia & New Zealand. “By undertaking a temporary assignment you gain experience in new areas, develop new contacts and boost your confidence. “You work with new groups
of people, in new organisational cultures and often in new industries. “This will reinvigorate your career and help you determine your next move. “A lot of people also use temporary assignments as their route to a permanent job. “While some see temporary assignments as their ideal lifestyle choice, others use them as stepping stones to permanency. “Either way, if you’re feeling stale in your current job a temporary assignment could provide the challenges and career boost you need,� he said. Temporary, contract and freelance workers have become
the ‘new normal’ in workplaces across Australia. Estimations vary but the general consensus is that around 30 to 40 per cent of Australia’s workforce is now a temporary, contractor of freelancer. According to Hays, a temporary assignment can help get your career back on track by: s 'IVING A CONFIDENCE boost: If you are feeling stale in your current role, your confidence can take a hit. It’s not uncommon for people in this situation to question if another organisation would want to employ them. A temporary assignment will get
you out of your comfort zone and each success will lift your confidence. s !DDING IMMEDIATE VALUE An employer will set defined outcomes for each assignment. 'IVEN THE SHORT TERM NATURE of temporary assignments, your success in achieving each outcome allows you to add several quantifiable results to your CV in a short period of time. s 1UICKLY PROVIDING WORK With 21 per cent of employers expecting to increase their use of temporary and contract staff this financial year (according to THE (AYS 3ALARY 'UIDE assignments are available and can be secured much faster
than permanent roles. s %XTENDING YOUR EXPERIENCE Temporaries are sought to work on special projects, fill in for absent staff or add expertise to a team. These assignments expose you to a wide range of systems, solutions and ideas, allowing your expertise to grow. s %XPANDING YOUR NETWORK Temporary assignments allow you to rapidly increase your network. But this involves more than increasing your LinkedIn connections. By working with people in your field you stay UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST trends, hear about relevant job opportunities, receive endorsements and even find new referees.

A brief history of the internet WITH CHRIS FEBVRE,
NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER cfebvre@nemedia.com.au
DO you remember what the world was like before the world wide web? I lived roughly the first twenty years of my life without an internet connection, yet now I can scarcely imagine life without it. And while I’m probably a heavier user than most people, I’m sure I’m not alone in shuddering at the thought of living without it. Heralded as one of the greatest achievements in modern history, the internet has irrevocably altered human civilisation in ways we have not yet fully grasped. It has changed the way we communicate, the way we transfer information, the way we learn, the way we consume, the way we are entertained, the way we receive news, and even the way we govern nations. Where once so much of the world was isolated from each other, that isolation is shrinking at an ever increasing rate. Where once we were beholden to mainstream media for information about our nation, or countries overseas, now almost all the information we could ask for comes from all sorts of different sources, and is only a quick search away. Children born only a few years ago will most likely have their entire lives chronicled online in one form or another. Long before the base technology

But it wasn’t until the early 1960s that actual schematics were drafted for an ‘Intergalactic Network’ of computers by J.C.R. Licklider. In the late 60s, the U.S. Department of Defence funded the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. ARPANET used
Slowly, these building blocks were put together, with ARPANET adopting TCP/IP in 1983, and from there researchers began the business of assembling the ‘network of networks’. And lastly, in 1990, the internet took on its modern day recognisable form when Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, the interface by which

we access information online. In the same year, the first website - info.cern.ch became accesible, and the number of publicly available websites grew exponentially each year. In 1993 there were 130 websites, in 1996 there were 100,000, and now there are more than 162 million sites and counting.
