HELPING women form a community, learn more practical and creative skills and improve their outlook on life has helped fuel a brand new initiative in Beechworth and district. Local resident Margy Barwood said that ever since childhood, she has always felt that dedicated and supportive spaces for women are important. She has been inspired by the growth of the Men’s Shed movement to help create a similar space for women, and this had led to the creation of the newly formed Beechworth Women’s Shed (BWS). Margy said giving women, especially those who are mothers or caregivers, their own outlet and social space assists them in maintaining their own mental health and in turn, helps them better care for those around them. “If you look after the mother, then the children are OK,” she said. Margy has been a keen sewer since childhood out of necessity, and her creative and practical passions have grown over the years to include creating stained glass windows as well as restoring and repairing wooden furniture. She said the BWS evolved earlier this year from a simple desire to connect local women socially. The group has four main purpose areas - which are welfare, health, education and environment - and it harnesses projects that engage sharing, thinking and caring. “BWS is a mixed bunch of ladies who differ in age, abilities and disabilities,” said Margy. “Despite the variation of our lives and journeys, we share a passion for the self worth, health, welfare and happiness of women in our community. “There is a good purpose behind it, a positive atmosphere, and everyone walks away happy. continued page |

GARDEN HINTS
Sustainability BEING sustainable is all about how we use, manage and conserve resources, with positive benefits for the environment. It means thinking about what we use and how much we use. It means providing a long term ecological balance. In gardening terms, sustainability means limiting the use of chemicals, instead adopting organic options. Use organic based fertilisers and organic teas as plant tonics. Use companion planting or natural sprays to help control pests and diseases. Hand remove bugs and weeds rather than reach for the chemicals. Sustainability means reducing water consumption and mulching to lessen evaporation. Collect your own rainwater in drums or tanks for the garden. Install timers on irrigation systems or make wicking beds. Be sustainable and recycle. Make raised garden beds or wicking beds from recycled items like timber, wood and iron. Repurpose containers to make interesting planter pots. Sustainability means composting waste material to improve soil and plant health. Create a compost pile or worm farm to dispose of kitchen scraps. Worm farms turn organic waste into nutrient rich fertiliser for plants and soils. Worms eat organic waste and turn it into worm castings and liquid fertiliser, known as worm tea. They work in a similar way to
NEW APP: ASIC’s MoneySmart has just released a new app called ‘First Business’ to help younger Australian’s when they start a new business.
ASIC launches app to help young people starting a small business ASIC chairman, Greg Medcraft, has launched a new free mobile app – First Business by ASIC’s MoneySmart – to support young Australians starting a small business. First Business was developed by ASIC in collaboration with the Australian Taxation Office, to assist young people considering going into business for themselves. The mobile app provides practical tips, checklists, case studies and links to additional information relating to developing and running a small business. “ASIC’s vision is to allow markets to fund the real economy and economic growth. Small businesses play an essential role in this and account for around 45 per cent of employment and 35 per cent of output nationally,� said Mr Medcraft. “We also know that a large number of new sole trader and micro-businesses are started by young adults. “A lack of business knowledge, experience and planning are some of the
challenges they face when starting out. “For its part, ASIC wants to support young people to be successful in business by providing access to tools and resources to build their financial capability and help them with the financial decisions they’ll need to make,� he said. The key features of the new mobile app include: - a business health check to help young people decide if they are ready to start a business; - a starting your business checklist to assist with ongoing obligations, including registrations, licences, tax and super responsibilities and legal requirements; - business case studies including advice on what can go wrong and how to avoid this; and - a networking section with tips and ideas on how to develop your business network. ASIC’s First Business app is available now on the App Store and Google Play.
compost, breaking down green matter like vegetable and fruit scraps, bread, pasta, coffee grounds, teabags and dead plant material and brown matter like paper, junk mail, egg cartons, cardboard and dry leaves. Worm farms don’t take up much room. You can make your own or buy a commercially made worm farm. Happy gardening.

Vaccinating rabbits IF you have a pet rabbit, now is a very good time to make sure they are vaccinated. In the first week of March a planned national release of a new strain of the deadly rabbit calicivirus will go ahead throughout Australia to aid in population control of feral rabbits. It is a Korean (K5) variant of the existing (Czech) virus already widespread in Australia after it was released in 1996. A study undertaken by the NSW Department of Primary Industries indicates that the existing vaccine for pet rabbits is effective against the new strain. Calicivirus is contagious and is spread via direct contact with infected rabbits, things that infected rabbits have touched, and flying insects such as flies. We recommend that all rabbit owners: t &OTVSF UIFJS SBCCJUT WBDDJOBUJPOT BSF VQ UP EBUF before the release of the new strain. t 1SFWFOU DPOUBDU CFUXFFO QFU BOE XJME SBCCJUT t %PO U DVU HSBTT BOE GFFE JU UP QFU SBCCJUT JG XJME rabbits may have been near the grass. t 8BTI IBOET XJUI XBSN TPBQZ XBUFS CFUXFFO handling rabbits. t *OTFDU QSPPG UIF IVUDI PS LFFQ SBCCJUT JOEPPST This is also very important for prevention of

“You learn more working with other people.� Some of the projects the group had created thus far had included upcycled reusable shopping bags. Margy said that the group had grown to about 30 people already, and although they did not yet have a dedicated practical space, she had high hopes that that would happen in the future. Group member Barb Carey, who has mobility issues, said that getting the opportunity to be involved with the Beechworth Women’s Shed had had a positive effect on her. “Being the outgoing person I once was, I didn’t realise how much my illness impacted my life,� she said. “Having such an organisation in the town will help me, one step at a time.� The group’s vice president Sue

Location: The Catch:
WELL DONE BOYS: A Murray cod double hook-up is rare enough, let alone doing it with surface lures. Well done to Hugh Blythe and Will O’Connor for this double hook-up on the King River on Sunday evening.
Autumn promises great fishing WELL there’s summer done and dusted, and what a fantastic summer of fishing we have experienced, especially the Murray cod anglers. Just because summer is gone, does not mean the fishing has stopped - not by a long shot. From here on in the water will gradually begin to cool down. With the cooler water comes a slowing down of the Murray cod fishing. This is not something that happens overnight, but will happen gradually over the next two months or more. For now there are still plenty of Murray cod that are hungry and willing to take your lure. On Sunday night I fished the King River with two young friends from Beechworth, Will O’Connor and Hugh Blythe. Will caught about five Murray cod,
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
Hugh caught two, and as for me….well I was captain fishless on the evening. But that’s OK because somebody had to be in charge of the camera to make sure the evening was well documented, before the fish were released. Will caught all but one of his cod on a white Bassman Codman series spinnerbait. The other was caught on a Rochows lures surface lure. Hugh caught both of his cod on a 70mm Koolabung Codlwaker surface lure. At the end of the evening the boys
SUDOKU HARD
both caught a Murray cod each at the same time in a rare double hook-up with surface lures. The cod were all undersize but gee it was a great evening. With the cooling waters slowing the Murray cod down during autumn, it will fire the trout up in the trout streams and with the decent flows in most streams at the moment I am predicting some great trout fishing this autumn, which has already started. I have had two reports this week of trout being caught in the Ovens River near Harrietville. Both anglers caught their trout on rooster tail bladed spinners which are a great option at this time of the year. And finally….there’s a lot of crickets around at the moment. Trout love crickets, so give them a go.
King River The fish was caught when Tate was fishing with his father David at Moyhu on Australia Day.

Burgers and patties Q: “What did the butcher say when he introduced his wife?â€? A: “Meat Pattieâ€? Everybody loves a good burger. With the feature of most burgers being the pattie it is always fun to have new tasty options to try out. Patties can be a wonderful source of all things good for you. They are extremely versatile as you can cook them up for dinner and then enjoy the left overs with salad or in a toastie for lunch or as an after school snack. They are a great ‘dad dinner’ as they cook up well on the barbie and even come with their very own joke. Once you have the basic ingredients of the pattie worked out you can create all kinds of amazing flavours and themes for your burgers. Add any herbs or condiments to jazz up these basics: Basic meat patties: 500g mince 1 egg 1 cup grated vegetable (carrot and zucchini are good starters) and or 1 tin of 4 bean mix. ½ cup of LSA, flour or oat bran Garlic and parsley Worstershire sauce, oyster sauce or BBQ sauce etc

WINE TALK
IN MY KITCHEN
Feathertop Winery
Sauvignon Blanc Around $25
WITH ANITA McPHERSON WITH NATUROPATHS SOPHIE LORBACK AND BELINDA MCPHERSON (BHSCI. NATUROPATHY).
The lightly golden wine is the essence of summertime, devoid of the grassiness of some versions and instead bright and well balanced with fresh fruit and florals. The flavour is lightly tropical with melon and stone fruit and there’s a hint of lime on the way to a gently dry finish. It also has a really pleasant mouthfeel which allows the flavours to mellow and linger that little bit longer. If only these relaxing summer days were going to last a little bit longer too. Enjoy it with an alfresco lunch at the cellar door in Porepunkah, or go to www. feathertopwinery.com.au

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Downfall of two Empires, 1879 BEECHWORTH’S second great fire saw five buildings destroyed, completing the destruction of the entire block along Camp Street between Ford and High Streets that was begun by the great fire of 1867. The Empire Hotel, destroyed in 1867, fell to the flames again, causing local wits to remark that Beechworth, in its short history, had already witnessed the downfall of two Empires.

INGREDIENTS
A WEEK at the end of summer seems like a month when it comes to the vegie patch, as the super-charged crops go berserk in the warmth and humidity. While this year’s varieties of tomatoes are already turning up their toes, the peppers have only just begun and the passionfruit are starting to colour and bounce off the vine. But the real problem is the zucchini – divine when they were finger-sized last Sunday but more like the size of clubs a caveman would swing in only a matter of days. The chooks may already be tired of eating them, but the sweet young things make beautiful antipasto, whether raw, barbecued and lightly dressed, or panko-crumbed and pan-fried. We just enjoyed a plateful with a few glasses of Boynton’s Feathertop Sauvignon Blanc.

TECH AND SCIENCE
Greetings from Earth, we come in peace WITH CHRIS FEBVRE, NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER cfebvre@nemedia.com.au
IN the quest to discover life on other planets NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has found the first known system of seven Earth size planets around a single star. In May 2016, researchers using the TRAPPIST telescope in Chile annouced the discovery of three of the planets in the new system, with Spitzer confirming the discovery of two of the planets, while also discovering an additional five. The results were published last Wednesday, the 23rd of February, 2017and announced at the NASA headquarters. At least three of the seven planets represent the best opportunity we’ve had so far at examining exoplanets with environments that are conducive to life. Named the TRAPPIST-1 system, the seven planets orbit an ultra cool red dwarf star (a star that is much cooler than our own). Consequently, despite the fact that all seven of the planets orbit closer to their star than Mercury does to our sun, TRAPPIST-1 e, f, and g are deemed to orbit within the the star’s habitable zone, with temperatures comparable to Earth. At 39 light years, or 235 trillion miles from Earth, the system is relatively close to us (space is a big place, after all). Based on density measurements, the planets are likely to have rocky surfaces, and NASA expects that further observations will determine
AN ALIEN WORLD: This illustration shows the possible surface of TRAPPIST-1f, one of the newly discovered planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system. Scientists using the Spitzer Space Telescope and ground-based telescopes have discovered that there are seven Earth-size planets in the system. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech not only whether the planets are rich in water, but whether they will have liquid water on the surface - the vital ingredient to life as we know it. The planets may also be tidally locked, which means the same side of the planet is always facing the star - in the same way the moon orbits Earth.
This means that one side of the planet’s will be in perpetual darkness, while the other will be perpetually light. Additionally, the planet’s weather will likely be vastly different to Earth’s, with strong winds blowing constantly from the day side of the planet, to the night side.
Sean Carey, manager of NASA’s Spitzer Science Center at Caltech/ IPAC said, “This is the most exciting result I have seen in the 14 years of Spitzer operations. Spitzer will follow up in the fall to further refine our understanding of these planets so that the James Webb Space
Telescope can follow up. More observations of the system are sure to reveal more secrets.” Of course, even if the TRAPPIST-1 system doesn’t contain any life that NASA can detect, it will still provide a wealth of information about habitable planets other than our own.

What’s that ringing in my ears? TINNITUS is most commonly described as a ‘humming’ or ‘buzzing’ noise heard in one or both ears which is not made by a sound in the external environment. Tinnitus is incredibly common, with some 1720% of people suffering from tinnitus at some point in their lives. It is very difficult to measure tinnitus, as it is a purely subjective experience. Most people would describe their tinnitus as only “mildly annoying”, but in rare cases it can affect people’s daily lives. Tinnitus is a common, and sometimes the only, complaint people have when they come to our clinic for a hearing assessment. At times, the necessity of a hearing test or even the reason to see an audiologist creates confusion.
angaratta udiology
Some of the reasons we see people with tinnitus include: 1. Firstly, it may be that your doctor has recommended a hearing test. Tinnitus can sometimes be a symptom of an underlying, treatable medical condition, or a condition that requires further medical investigation. A hearing test helps doctors work out if further tests are needed. 2. All audiologists are equipped to provide information and counselling about the causes, mechanisms and coping strategies for mild tinnitus. 3. If tinnitus is severe, audiologists can provide a referral for support services and specialist audiologists who can provide more in-depth support and rehabilitation services. 4. Some people may find they have a hearing loss as well as tinnitus. If
your hearing loss is sufficient that you might benefit from the use of amplification, your audiologist may recommend a trial with hearing aids. Most audiologists agree that hearing aids can have the pleasant side benefit of reducing tinnitus symptoms while you are wearing them. Possible causes of tinnitus include damage from noise exposure, extreme stress and some medications. Sometimes the cause cannot be found. If you would like more information on tinnitus, you can visit http://tinnitus.org.au/Home , the website of Tinnitus Association Victoria. Please contact Wangaratta Audiology on (03) 5722 4433 if you would like to discuss your particular difficulties with tinnitus further.
