THE streets of Beechworth will again pulse with the vibrancy of Celtic music, dance and culture during this weekend’s Beechworth Celtic Festival. It’s been 20 years since the festival was first conceived in the back of John Harvey’s Scottish Shop in Beechworth as an initiative of the Beechworth and District Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc, with six people, including Mr Harvey, forming the organising committee. It was born out of a strong appreciation of the area’s historical links to Celtic culture, which current organising committee chair Ross Lucas says is just as relevant today. Ross, with wife Lorraine, have run Beechworth’s Hotel Nicholas for 13 years, and he has been on the committee for the past four years. He said the festival offered a lot of benefits to Beechworth, both economically and socially, and it was important the town “never forget where we came from”. Fellow committee member and local musician Mel Tompkins, has seen the festival from both sides, performing as well as coordinating events. A Stanley resident who has lived in the area for some 30 years, he has fond memories of performing at the inaugural festival, and will once again be performing this year with folk band Jigid. “I’m passionate about trying to get the community involved in the festival,” he said, highlighting the Beechworth Tattoo community concert – this Saturday from 8pm, featuring performers and light shows. continued page |

IDEAS and inspiration for gardens can be found from many different sources. Along with the traditional reference books, many coffee table books and magazines are full of pictures and information. There are a number of television programs with handy hints, ideas and projects for the home gardener, whether a total beginner, a seasoned veteran or somewhere in the middle. With the advent of the internet, information from around the world is now available at our fingertips. If you don’t know how, ask Mr Google. Many stores are running DIY classes on gardening offering topics such as how to plant, prune and propagate. Garden clubs and community gardens are becoming increasingly popular where members can meet and work, swap techniques and ideas and learn. But one of the greatest ways to gain new ideas and inspiration is to visit other gardens. Many have that wow factor that can be recreated in your garden. Spring is when many gardens are at their best and are open for the public to visit. Walking through beautiful gardens is always inspiring and if the gardens are local they can give you an idea of how plants grow in the area. They are where you can discover
RELAXING: Jill Whitford in her garden.
What’s in your garden: My garden has a variety of plants - roses, cottage plants, natives, fruit and vegetables. I believe a diverse mix makes for a healthy ecosystem as it avoids build-ups of pests and diseases. What do you enjoy about gardening: I love being in touch with nature, watching seeds germinate, plants grow and then enjoying flowers, fruits and vegetables. I enjoy the health benefits also, both physical and mental.
Favorite plant/spot in your garden: The purple seat where I can watch the birds dipping in the bird bath. Water saving/conservation tip: Mulch, mulch and more mulch with whatever you have available. I use prunings chopped through the mulcher, straw, coffee from the coffee shop and pine bark on permanent beds. This stops weeds, conserves
water and promotes a healthy population of soil micro-organisms. Your tips to keep gardens in top shape: Don’t be afraid to cut back plants, they all benefit from a haircut at times, usually after flowering or when getting out of hand. It keeps plants dense and compact and prevents them getting leggy. This applies especially to natives which respond readily to a quick allover tip prune after flowering.

new and unusual plants or ideas on how to cleverly use plants in your garden. Often the gardens have plants for sale, always a bonus, as I can never leave a plant stall without taking one or two home. Gardens are more than just plants though; they are also about use of space and creating a sense of harmony and belonging. Most gardens are a series of rooms, often incorporating a front yard and back yard, maybe a side yard, a productive or working area or an area for relaxing. Some can be very small but still manage to maintain an aura of calming intimacy. Many of these gardens only open once a year so make a note of what is open in your area and have a look. Find a spot and sit and ponder, what ideas can you build on and utilise in your garden? Happy gardening!

VETS CORNER

Vomiting dogs
SKILL: (Left) Katherine Belcher, who plays both pipes and drums, performs regularly at the Beechworth Celtic Festival. and (Right) Georgia Webb, pictured here at the first Beechworth Celtic Festival, has performed at every festival since the beginning.
Mel, who is one of the organisers of the North East Celtic Club which meets at Hotel Nicholas year round, said that he is irrevocably drawn to Celtic music because of its sense of celebration and sharing. “It’s the whole humanity and community aspect to it that I like, and sharing things that are important to us,” he said, adding that the Celtic music scene is bolstered by Australia’s strong ties with Irish culture. For dancers such as Georgia Webb and musicians like Katherine Belcher, the festival offers a chance to not only show off their skills to local crowds, but also catch up with family and friends. Georgia, whose mother Cathie runs Cathie’s Celtic Dance, has danced at every Beechworth Celtic Festival since she was eight. “I get satisfaction in knowing that we are keeping the tradition going,” she said. “It’s always a good atmosphere. “I’ve been teaching dance now for eight years, and I love seeing the younger ones
learning and improving – you realise you’ve made an impact.” “And the Irish know how to party.” Piper Katherine Belcher, a former Beechworth resident who now bases herself in Melbourne, said her life has been intertwined with the festival since childhood. Seeing a performance from the Balmoral Highland Dancers while attending Beechworth Primary School led to her getting involved in the Wangaratta Pipe Band, and she hasn’t look back. “It was so exciting to see the City of Melbourne Pipe Band playing as a child…and now I teach that band…things have come full circle,” she said. Heading back to Beechworth for the festival is one of the highlights of her year. “I always know I’ll come back and catch up with all my friends,” said Katherine. The Beechworth Celtic Festival is being held from November 7-9 and more information is available on the website at www.beechworthcelticfestival.com.au.
VOMITING can occur in puppies and adult dogs for a range or reasons, some life threatening and some not so serious. So what should you do if your dog is vomiting, and when do you need to see a vet? There are many things you can do at home to help your dog when it starts vomiting. Initially you should withhold all food for 24 hours, no matter how hungry they may seem! This allows the digestive system an opportunity to rest and recover. Offer small amounts of water, do not let your dog gulp down large volumes as this can cause them to vomit more. After the initial 24 hours, and providing the vomiting has ceased, you can start to gradually re-introduce food, starting with small portions of something very bland and easily digested. An example of such a food would be cooked chicken and boiled rice. Start with a few tablespoons of food, given every few hours initially. If your dog is keeping this down gradually increase the size over a few days. You may then reintroduce your dogs’ normal food once they have recovered.
If your dog starts vomiting again after introducing the bland diet, or it does not stop vomiting, you should withhold all food again and contact your veterinarian to book an appointment as further treatment is likely to be required. Reasons your dog needs to be seen immediately by a vet include; inability to keep down any fluids, vomiting for more than 24 hours, persistent lethargy or depression, restlessness and distress or chronic vomiting on and off for more than one week. There are numerous causes of vomiting in dogs; diet, systemic conditions such as pancreatitis, toxins, blockages, some medications and the list goes on. It can be difficult to identify the cause, and veterinary attention is best sought early. Dr Amanda Walker BVSc, Ovens and Kiewa Veterinary Centre

SUDOKU HARD
READY TO CATCH CARP: Cody Collison, Luca Gisanda (both aged 11) and 9 year old Jack Weston have been fishing for carp in the One Mile Creek in Cribbes Road this week. Cody says they’re getting a bit of “practice” in before this weekend’s carp muster.
Let’s catch some carp THIS week’s fishing report is dedicated to the 2014 Carp Muster being held in Wangaratta this Sunday. The main registration point is Bachelors Green behind the police station with smaller registration points at the end of Appin Street and near the Phillipson Street wetlands. I’ve had a few eager kids and parents asking questions and looking for some tips. The competition is set to be strong, and best of all, the event is always great fun for kids and families. Bait The best bait of the lot for carp is corn kernels, out of a tin. Other than that, white bread is also great bait, and
as most of us know, a bunch of smelly garden worms also works very well. Tackle Try and use a medium sized rod and reel combination with strong line of around 10-12lb. As small a sinker as you can get away with and a hook of about size 1/0 or similar. Don’t be scared to fish with corn or bread suspended underneath a bubble float, particularly in slower water. Best spots The area near where the Three Mile and One Mile creeks meet up is a great area to target carp. There are plenty of carp in that area as well as the very occasional redfin. I have it on good authority from

one of the event organisers (Kelvin Berry) that the lagoon behind the native plant nursery at the end of Park Lane is included in this year’s competition and is abundant with carp which need to be removed. The best access to this lagoon is via a short walking track at the Phillipson Street wetlands at the end of Phillipson Street. Good luck to everybody entering, and don’t forget if you have a photo that you would like to see printed here with my weekly fishing report, you can contact me via my website at www.robbiefishing.com, or do what everyone else does and pull me up in the supermarket...I don’t bite!

Sounding Off OKAY. So before I launch into the following little rant, I would like to make one thing perfectly clear. I love fire fighters. I think the work they do is amazing and I’m especially admiring of the many volunteer firies who devote their time and energy every year to waging the war against flames. They are truly gallant and selfless individuals and I know we cannot thank them enough. And so, now that I’ve written that, I realise what I’m about to say may seem chirlish, childish, ungrateful and trivial. But, hey, what the heck? You’ve seen me being all of the above and more, many a time, so I might as well just spit it out. You see, since moving across town last year, I have noticed a rather annoying thing. Being somewhat closer to the local fire station means that I now get an amplified version of the ‘fire siren’ when it blasts off at any given time of the day or night. Which it seems to be doing with increasing regularity and intensity in recent times. I’m not happy about this. It’s not that I don’t understand that the fire siren is primarily there to alert fire fighters (or other services) to the emergency, it’s just that I don’t understand why the whole community needs to be jolted from their slumber in the middle of the night just because something’s happened somewhere else in the district. I could certainly understand it if the danger was close by. I would definitely be grateful to know that we need to be alert to the potential danger. But why have an alarm wake up the whole town when there has perhaps been a car accident somewhere down the freeway? Or a grass fire on a distant farm? Why do I need to be alerted to this? How does it help the community to have its citizens (including many young children) startled awake by a shrill siren that actually tells us nothing and eventually goes off anyway? I know that all sounds pretty insular but frankly I just don’t need to know – well not at some
BY CATHERINE WARNOCK ungodly hour anyway. If the incident in question involves any of my neighbors, friends or loved ones or was close at hand enough to affect me, I’m sure the news would reach me in a timely fashion. And then I would respond accordingly. I’m told the reason for the siren is to call the appropriate respondees to attend. Really? In the year 2014 we need a ridiculously loud siren to bring emergency personnel together? In an era where we can contact the other side of the globe in the click of a button, we can’t contact a few dozen people in a regional firebrigade? I find that hard to believe. I guess the reason might be more to do with the lack of funds to provide the required mobile devices and if so, I hope that will be rectified in the coming years. It’s not just that I hate being woken in the night by the damn siren (which is even worse in the summer time when it screeches through the open windows) or even that I’m tired and cranky today after having another disturbed night’s sleep because of Old Screechy. I also wonder what will happen if, God forbid, we ever have an imminent local emergency that we residents really should know about? With Old Screechy sounding off every other night, isn’t it more likely that people will simply become accustomed to it and ignore the warning? Remember the story of the Boy who Cried Wolf? What happens if this becomes the Siren that Cried “Fire!” and Nobody Listened? Well, anyway, I’m sure there are many explanations as to why we are still using antiquated sirens in this day and age. I’m equally sure these will be explained to me (with much eye rolling) by my friends who are much more learned in the area of disaster management than I. And if I manage to get a nice sleep tonight - minus Old Screechy - I might even take my earplugs out long enough to give them a decent hearing.

Chicken pot pies
overlooking the King Valley. It’s grown entirely without irrigation, relying on the gods to deliver the goods. What you end up with is a wine that is deep, dark and purple tinged, with a toasty aroma of black cherry and savory pepper. The flavor is incredibly complex and lengthy, with dark and broody cherry and blackcurrant and beautifully balanced oak. It’s one to take time out and just enjoy, and that’s about the best tip you’re going to get this week. Find out more or order from www.rosritchiewines.com
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Kelly protest meeting, 1880 OPPOSITION to capital punishment and support for Ned Kelly came together in a series of meetings held in Melbourne. Kelly’s solicitor, David Gaunson, was a leading opponent of capital punishment, and a number of other Melbourne citizens had taken up the cause. The anti-hanging lobby even staged a rally at the Melbourne Cup to drum up support, and to gather signatures for a petition they were circulating.
THE use of leek in cooking releases a warm, piquant onion-like flavor when cooked that really gets behind chicken. And who can resist an individual pot pie? Method Place flour, peppers and salt in a bowl and stir. Add chicken and toss well. Shake off any excess flour. Heat oil and butter in a frying pan over a high heat. Add chicken pieces and stir-fry until lightly browned and sealed, but not cooked all the way through. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Place leeks and garlic in the pan and cook over medium heat for five minutes, or until soft and wilted. Add wine and boil for one minute. Add stock and cream and simmer gently for a further five minutes. Add chicken back to pan with peas and tarragon and cook for a minute longer. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in parsley. Pre-heat oven to 180degrees Celsius. Roll out pastry and cut to fit a 9 ½ cm pie tin or the dish you wish to use.
Spoon filling into dish and cover with the cut out pastry top, seal with a fork. Brush tops with the egg yolk and make three small piercings with a sharp knife in the top of each pie. Bake on bottom oven shelf for 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Serves 4. Individual chicken pot pies >½ cup plain flour >½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper >½ teaspoon white pepper >1 teaspoon salt cut >500gm chicken breast fillets, into 2cm dice >2 tablespoons olive oil >25gm butter d >2 leeks, white parts only, slice ped >2 cloves garlic, crushed or chop
INGREDIENTS
THERE is nothing quite like the annual celebration of horse and human endeavor that is the Spring Racing Carnival. Whether it’s the one time of year you join a cup sweep, or you’re a seasoned punter from way back, it hard to resist the adrenalin rush that comes for being in it to win it. For those who love the gee gees it’s more a case of riding the roller coaster than the roundabout, and if you came out behind yesterday, there’s always a chance you’ll come up trumps tomorrow. If you really want to be a winner in the get out stakes, I suggest you toddle off home early with a bottle of Ros Ritchie Wines Cabernet Sauvignon. After all those bubbles and frippery, you’ll want to settle in to something substantial with a top red on the side. This wine is made from fruit grown and hand picked by Ruth and Jim Baxendale at their vineyard in the Whitland hills,

YOUR HEALTH
BUSINESS AND FINANCE
The Medibank float and you
WITH SOPHIE LORBACK, NATUROPATH
I WAS going to talk about superannuation this week, but there is so much happening in respect of Medibank I thought it prudent to give you some ideas. The first thing that struck me was you as an investor needed to obtain a prospectus by calling 1800 998 778 or at medibankshareoffer.com.au. Be quick as applications need to be received by November 14. And the good news is that you won’t pay more than $2 per share. Certainly the risks are much lower in health insurance as opposed to general insurance - for instance, the capital reserves won’t be wiped out by an earthquake or a tsunami. So, is the asking price for a share which accountants are used to saying “a fair and reasonable amount”? Only you can answer that after reading the prospectus and weighing up whether you think the government’s appointed agents are correct in their assessment of “attractive dividend yields”. We must accept that Medibank is Australia’s largest health insurer which provides cover for over 3.8 million people nationwide and is a strong and profitable company. Private health is fundamentally discretionary. It will certainly get you in the door of the hospital ahead of those dependent on the public system and the food will be superior, but those of us who live in regional areas have a better choice, even in the public system. But it is disturbing to read the Private Health Insurance Administration Council (PHIAC) will be dismantled by July 1, 2015. What is contained in the prospectus is that “the functions of PHIAC will be split and transferred to APRA and the Department of Health with a view to closing the agency”. I believe this is quite scary, as APRA (Australian Prudential Regulation Authority) is the supervisor for banks and general insurers.
a challenge to do them as often as you can. Once a day? Once a week? The more often you take a little time to recharge, the better your energy will be. To get you thinking about flow activities I have listed some examples from my clinic. “Swimming, running or yoga” (Sophie, naturopath) “Walking with friends” (Heather, reception) “Riding my horse” (Megg, massage therapist) “Walking, music, dancing” (Eva, counsellor) So it seems the key is to ask yourself what makes a perfect breathing space for you, be it with friends, family, alone time, and go and do it!

This is where I see the risk for shareholders of Medibank unfolds. If the health funds’ new regulators decide to bring health funds into line with APRA’S risk structures for general insurers, the health funds may be required to put aside hundreds of millions in extra capital to meet claims. This means that either the profits (and of course your dividends) would fall or premiums for policyholders would need to rise – or both. Critics of the sale challenge it on the basis that the assets of Medibank belong to the policyholders who built it up over the years, not the Commonwealth. I was interested that a former head of the federal Health Insurance Commission, Ray Williams - who set Medibank Private up and ran it for five years - says he got an original loan of $10 million from the Federal Treasury to set the fund up, but the loan had all been repaid by the early 1980s. “All the assets in Medibank Private belong to the contributors,” he claims. “There is not a penny of government money in Medibank Private, yet it is going to collect all the profits of the sale now. I think what the government is currently doing is stealing contributors’ money”. But others argue the time to have had that fight was in the late 1990s, when the Howard Government corporatised Medibank Private, transferring its ownership to a company the Commonwealth “acquired” for a minimal outlay. I can only recommend that if you are contemplating a purchase read and re-read the prospectus and seek some help from someone qualified to provide you with advice before committing to another government sale of our assets.

It should feature doing the things you love and allowing your thoughts to get back in a straight line and unwind. You can do this by introducing regular flow activities into your day or week. Flow activities are not selfish. It is taking the time to get your energy back so that you can give back your energy to those who need it most. To decide what your flow activity is start by writing down five activities that you really enjoy. The aim is to come back to this list whenever your energy is going flat. Or to use a more preventative approach, set

IN our busy lives we are confronted with endless challenges, details to remember, places to be and people to see, and it’s very easy to get caught up in this merrygo-round of life. We look back over the year and wonder where it has gone!. When was the last time we stopped and did something just for us? No wonder we feel tired and frazzled. When you are feeling like this, is it good to remember your flow and how easy and simple it can be to get in and out of your flow. What is flow I hear you ask? It is a feeling of being totally in balance, ‘being able to perform an activity which you are fully immersed in a feeling of energised focus, full involvement and enjoyment in the process of the activity’. Everyone has an activity or hobby that brings them this kind of feeling. The definition of a flow activity is ‘when you do something that gives you joy and that you don’t notice time passing.’ It’s like a little holiday for your mind. A real holiday needs to be ‘time out’ from the everyday duties, responsibilities, routines, stressors and crazies of your usual life.
