Sharing and support By KYLIE WILSON FROM the stress of diagnosis, to the joy of remission and the grief of terminal diagnoses – breast cancer nurse Jodie Finlayson has seen thousands of local women and men go through it all in her 16 years in the job. A staff member at Northeast Health Wangaratta, Jodie worked in district nursing and community health before assuming her current role. She said while there have been many highs and lows over the years, she finds fulfilment in her work. Among one of her proudest achievements is establishing the Go Girls support group, which has evolved to become a strong friendship and fundraising group, also catering to those in remission. She said her work sees her work closely with a range of services at NHW and beyond, from diagnostic teams to doctors and allied health workers, as well as those involved in end of life care. Jodie also offers information, help and referrals. “Being able to make things a little bit easier” for patients has been among the positives of Jodie’s work, and she said she feels the best when she sees former patients in the community “doing normal things and enjoying life”. While the survival rate for breast cancer is very high, around 90 per cent, Jodie said the lows of the job include losing people she has come to know – “you take that very personally” – but said she takes time to remember each person lost. “It shows how fragile and important life is,” she said. “You can’t take it for granted.” Jodie urged members of the public to be vigilant about any unexplained changes in their bodies, as breast cancer has a variety of symptoms. “Women know their bodies better than anyone else,” she said.

◆ BIG NAME: Australia’s no.1 ranked Alpine Racer Alec Scott has returned home to Falls Creek for spring training and a busy Europa and World Cup season. Scott also has his sights set on selection and good results at the Winter Olympics in February. The snow base at Falls Creek has remained at an incredible 165cm even as the snow season nears its end.

It‘s tomato season
Last hurrah for snow season fun WHILE official season festivities have wound up at most of the mountains of the region, there is still opportunities for mountain fun. This week at Falls Creek sees the McKayos Gravity Enduro take place on October 7. Taking off from the summit of Falls Creek’s Mt McKay, riders will traverse tracks and terrain to the shores of Lake Guy, covering a 23km course. More information is available on www. mckayos.com.au. While no events are on the calendar, you can take in the sights at Mt Buffalo, Mt Hotham and Mt Buller and enjoy whatever activities or hospitality may be on offer.
SPRING is tomato planting time. Tomatoes are the most popular grown plant in Australian veggie gardens and come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, colours and textures. Store bought tomatoes are bred for longevity and transport, but not flavour and lack the taste of freshly picked home grown tomatoes. Growing tomatoes successfully depends on position, soil preparation, regular watering and feeding. Tall growing varieties can reach over two metres and require support from stakes or wire frames. Bush types are much smaller growing which don’t require support, making them suitable for tubs and pots. The trailing varieties can also be grown in hanging baskets or vertical gardens. Grow in a position that receives at least six hours of full sun each day and is protected from strong winds. Don’t plant tomatoes in the same spot as last year as diseases can survive in the soil and infect this year’s crop. Protect from late season frosts by covering with frost cloth until the chance of frosts has passed.
October also sees the beginning of the 7 Peaks Ride, a cycling challenge that takes place across several local mountains from October until April next year. More information is available at www. ridehighcountry.com.au/7-peaks/

Tomatoes grow best in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Prepare the planting hole by digging in compost, potash, blood and bone and a fertiliser specific for tomatoes. Avoid using too much animal manure as this encourages leaf growth rather than flowers and fruit. If planting in a pot, use a 50/50 blend of premium potting mix and compost. Plant the tomatoes deep in the soil to promote strong root growth. If planting grafted tomatoes, ensure the graft is above the soil level. Space them a metre apart and hammer in support stakes, avoiding the root ball. Water the plants in well and top with mulch to conserve water, suppress weeds and keep the roots cool in summer. Keep the soil moist by watering regularly but avoid wetting the leaves as this will encourage fungal problems. When the tomatoes start to flower feed with a liquid fertiliser high in potassium once a week to promote fruit development and increase yields. Happy gardening.

Care tips for baby birds IN spring and summer we often see a lot of baby birds brought into the clinic, and we love that people are looking out for our wildlife, but sometimes these birds might just be tackling their ‘first steps’. - If you see a baby bird on the ground, unless it is in obvious or immediate danger (for example on a road or being stalked by a cat) watch from afar. This will give you a chance to get an idea of what kind of bird it is, and whether mum and dad are keeping an eye on things. t 5IFSF BSF UXP EJGGFSFOU UZQFT of birds – precocial and altricial. Precocial birds are ready to go from birth, they are covered in down and have their eyes open, they can feed themselves soon after they hatch. Often their nests are on the ground. These include ducklings, plovers, brush turkeys, and swamphens. Altricial birds are born without feathers or down, their eyes closed and are completely dependent on the parents for warmth and food. These birds are often in nests up in trees and bushes, and include honeyeaters, parrots,
pigeons, magpies, insectivores, carnivores and raptors. t *G UIF CJSE ZPV GJOE JT featherless, it will need care from its parents to keep it warm. If you can see a nest nearby and the baby appears healthy, you can put it back into its nest. If the bird is sick or injured, or if you know its parents are dead, then it will need to be taken to your vet or wildlife carer for care. If it has considerable down or feathers and you know the parents are nearby but you cannot reach the nest, you can put them into a makeshift nest made out of a bucket, with a branch for access in and out, drainage holes in the bottom, and leaves and sticks inside, (see website below for more information). t 'MFEHMJOHT BSF CJSET UIBU have just left the nest and are learning to fly. They often will fall out or seem to be fluttering around on the ground. Fledglings have a significant number of adult looking feathers, not just down. The parents are often watching from m nearby trees. Fledglings are
the birds that are most often ‘rescued’ when they are in fact not in distress. If these birds are in danger, place them onto a nearby branch off the ground. It is a myth that adult birds will abandon their young if they can smell that humans have handled them, they identify them by their call, so you are not doing any harm by putting a nestling back into its nest, or a fledgling onto a branch. For more information check out www.wildcare.org.au/ Pages/Birds.html, or .www. wildlifevictoria.org.au. Any birds obviously injured or unwell should be taken into your vet for an assessment. It is a very good idea to make note of where you found the bird, and see if the parents are anywhere in sight so that if we can release it, we will know where to go. Julia Smith, veterinarian

October is national Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer by 85 is one in eight for women and one in 631 for men. More information about breast cancer care and related services is available by calling (03) 5722 5473. Helpful links BreastScreen Victoria: www.breastscreen.org.au. National Breast Cancer Foundation: nbcf.org.au. Anne-Marie’s story Among the women in the North East living with breast cancer is Goorambat resident Anne-Marie Greenway, who was diagnosed in July with metastatic breast cancer that has also spread to her bones. It was discovered after she saw her doctor to address some recurring rib pain. “I would ask women – and men too – to take advantage of every possible check. “But it can’t always be found – mine shows it has been there for some time but was missed on my last breast screen (noone’s fault as it was well-hidden), and can still not be felt by myself. “X-rays showed my ribs and spine were full of pockets of cancer (which will now be turned into holes, making my bones more fragile), and this was then traced back to being the secondary to breast cancer.� But Anne-Marie, already a survivor of an
unrelated brain tumour over eight years ago, said she has been very pleased with the help she has received so far. “I was very impressed with the way the health system kicked in after my diagnosis, and I immediately had scans and mammograms, visited a breast surgeon and two oncologists. “I was sent straight to Albury for radiation treatment on my bones, which I have been told is ‘spot-welding’ on the holes in my ribs and spine.� She is currently personally campaigning to have a drug “which could significantly help me�, palbociclib, placed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) as it currently costs $60,000 a year to buy it. The alternative to the drug is a round of chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. “I currently see a breast care nurse named Kerry, who has been wonderful,� she added, saying that her GP and other allied health professionals have also been helpful. “Health-wise I have been doing far better than expected, with pain levels being really low so far, and lots of support.� You can assist Anne-Marie in her fight to get palbociclib on the PBS by completing a consumer survey at www.pbs.gov.au/ info/industry/listing/elements/pbacmeetings/pbac-consumer-comments.

◆ WILD RAINBOW: A nice rainbow trout caught on a Strike Tiger nymph in the 15 Mile Creek.
Trout streams a bit hit and miss I LOVE this time of the year - 25 degrees one day, fresh snow on the ground in the mountains the next. It’s amazing. Thankfully, trout still feed quite well in such fluctuating conditions, unlike out native fish which tend to switch on and off a lot more quickly with the changing barometer. I have had a few mixed trout fishing reports over the last week. A bit of a pattern is forming where some streams are fishing poorly and some are fishing red hot. My young mate Will O’Connor from Beechworth fished a number of tributaries of the Ovens River last week and reported to me that in some of the streams the fishing was so poor that it was not worth fishing, and then in two other streams the

fish were going crazy and fighting each other to get on his line. This is something that we can all learn from. If the stream you are fishing is fishing poorly, then pack up and move elsewhere and search for a better waterway, or even move to a different stretch of that same waterway in search of better fishing. I have had no less than a dozen reports of poor fishing in the 15 Mile Creek this season, so last week I went up there and fished it for myself. I found the trout fishing was OK up

high in the headwaters where it is overgrown, and downstream it was much poorer. Ironically there were a lot of footprints along the creeks edge up high where the better fishing was, so the section of creek copping the most fishing pressure is fishing the best. Downstream around the hops, I believe that very poor habitat is to blame for the poor fishing, not so much the fishing pressure. It does not matter how much fishing pressure a trout stream cops, if there’s little shade and no deep holes, there will never be great numbers of trout. Habitat restoration and more streamside vegetation would help the 15 Mile Creek more than trout stocking.

Eating with the seasons: spring SPRING is about lightness, colour and creativity. It is all about getting outside and enjoying the warmth, cranking up the barbecue, entertaining and relaxing. In spring, as we emerge from the hibernation of winter, we need to begin the transition to lighter, more colourful foods. At the beginning of spring there can be a huge demand on our immune systems as we try to fight the last of those winter infections and start to breathe in those allergenic pollens. The days are warm, the nights are crisp and cold, so it can take a little bit for our bodies to adjust. How clever then, that mother-nature has provided us with an abundance of mineral rich, anti-allergic and detox friendly foods for this time of year. As your appetite changes, go big on fresh flavours (fruits and vegetables) but consume smaller portions and draw energy and strength from light meals of seasonal produce. Spring food choices Fruits, vegetables and fresh herbs take the

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Brookfield Siding, 1954 OCTOBER 4, 1954 saw another step towards the eventual closure of the Ovens Valley railway – the withdrawal of the siding of Brookfield, just past Everton. Brookfield took the name from the property of Hiram Crawford, a pioneer of the coaching industry in the North East, who had been a leading citizen of Beechworth and Chiltern before turning his formidable talents to farming on the Ovens River.
Pumpkin, gruyere and sage cob loaf and crispy bacon EVERYONE loves cob loaf, and this recipe from Dairy Australia is a surefire entertainer. For more recipes like this, see www. legendairy.com.au. Method 1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fanforced). Heat butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add leek, garlic and sage and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add pumpkin and cook, stirring for 4-5 minutes or until the leek and pumpkin are soft. Pour in the wine and cook for 1 minute or until evaporated. Remove from heat and stir in cream, cheeses and mustard. 2. Cut the top off the cob loaf and scoop the soft bread out of the centre, leaving a 2-3cm shell. Roughly tear inside bread into bit size pieces to use for serving and reserve. 3. Lay two large sheets of foil on a baking tray at crossways to each other. Place the cob in the centre of the cross and fill with pumpkin mixture. Put the lid back on the cob and wrap it in foil to enclose. Bake for 40 minutes, then remove foil and cook for a further 20 minutes or until the cob is crisp and cheese is melted and warmed through. 4. Meanwhile, place the reserved bread
chunks on a baking tray and toast in the oven alongside the cob, until golden brown. 5. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook bacon until crisp and golden brown. Remove cob lid and sprinkle bacon over the hot cheese dip. Serve with extra crusty bread to dip in the centre.

food including meats and anything with a little spice. It has a burnished red colour; exuding deep savoury aromas of spicy plum, cherry and tobacco. There is more of that plum fruit in the flavour but it’s complex and firmly savoury, with a long, dry finish. Enjoy in a decent glass so you take some time to enjoy those earthy aromas. Luckily it’s also great when served slightly cooled alongside charcuterie. Looks like I’m all set for summer. Try the range at the cellar door in Myrtleford or go to www.micheliniwines.com.au.

HAVING enjoyed one of the coldest winters and best ski seasons of all time, the Alpine Valley has been the place to be over the last few months. It has always been a spectacular region to visit if you want to see how the seasons change and this year those verdant valleys and snow-capped mountains could be enjoyed all the way into spring. It was so cold this year I’ve been reluctant to let go of hearty winter soups and slow-cooked stews and have favoured hot roast vegetables every time over salad. But it’s time to transition and a piping hot pizza topped with sausage, capsicum and mushrooms, accompanied by Michelini Wines Sangiovese, is helping me do it. This is a wine perfectly suited to enjoying with

Great brain hacks to improve your memory WITH CHRIS FEBVRE, NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER cfebvre@nemedia.com.au
LAST week I spoke about memory and the ways in which our brains forget or are unable to recall information. This week I’d like to look at a few ways in which you can help boost your powers of recollection. (This article contains information related to diet, exercise and supplements, and, as always, it’s best to consult a health professional before radically altering your day-today regimen). A good night’s sleep Perhaps the best way to boost your memory and other brain functions is a good night’s rest. Sleep is key time for your brain to solidify the connections between neurons. In one study published in the journal ‘Sleep Medicine’, researchers asked subjects to perform some memory related tasks and then either sleep or stay awake. Those who napped remembered more of the tasks they had performed than did those who stayed up.
◆ HEALTHY MINDS: We often focus on keeping other parts of our body healthy, but when was the last time you thought about looking after your thought-machine?
Seven to nine hours of sleep each day is the general agreed upon amount. Quiet time Meditation improves your concentration and focus, and a still mind is better than a busy one when it comes to storing memories. When under stress, our bodies release cortisol, adrenaline, and CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone). In small doses, these chemicals are important in a ‘fight or flight’ scenario in which we are confronted with danger. But if we are stressed over a long period of time, these chemicals
can change the structure of our hippocampus, destroying nerve endings integral to information flow. Jog your memory - literally Exercise is a key way to increase blood flow throughout your body, including your brain, which in turn enlarges the size of your hippocampus (the key area of your brain for memory) and increases the amount of neurotrophic factor proteins which are necessary for long term memory. Food for thought It’s a fairly obvious one, but your brain can’t function correctly without the essential nutrients and

chemicals that power it. Blueberries are a key source of substances called anthocyanins, which are brain-boosting antioxidants. Anthocyanins shield the brain against both inflammation and oxidation, which can damage neurons and make them less effective at communicating with one another. Studies suggest that leafy vegetables rich in phytonutrients like vitamin C are also important in fighting against age-related memory loss and neurological conditions.
Smarter supplements Fish oil is one of the best supplements you can take as it contains Docosahexaenoic Acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that decreases the production of memoryinhibiting substances in the brain. Good old vitamin D can help since it “stimulates the growth of new neurons and helps clear protein abnormalities associated with diseases that affect memory, such as dementia,” says David J. Llewellyn, a research fellow in epidemiology and public health at the University of Exeter, in England.
