Silver screens and melodies By KYLIE WILSON

THERE are two places where former Wangaratta resident Kevin Adams feels most at home – seated at a piano keyboard, and being enchanted by cinematic delights on the silver screen. Set to perform in Wangaratta next week as part of the Steinway on Stage concert series, he will be able to combine both of those passions. “While I was born, raised and currently live in Melbourne, I see Wangaratta as my real home,” Kevin said. “I always return as regularly as I can.” Kevin has enjoyed playing the piano from a young age, recalling being fascinated by the skills of the pianists on stage whenever he would attend a dance with his family. Despite early frustrations with playing piano, he stuck it out, often playing favourites from his parents’ record collection, and is now a seasoned pianist with the self admitted skill of being able to play songs by ear. “Playing the piano is so relaxing,” he said. “I think music’s good for the soul. “The piano can sound like an orchestra, and all your cares sort of drift away.” Kevin lived most of his young adult life in Wangaratta and was very active in the community before he moved away in 1996. “They were such formative years,” he said. He not only ran Wangaratta’s former drive-in theatre, he was also in demand as a performance pianist, regularly played piano for local theatre groups, performed with the Moonlight Dance Band, and even ran a small picture theatre in his back garden in Steane Street. He also worked locally at The Weekly Telegraph. In recent years he has worked as a projectionist in movie theatres across Victoria, including Swan Hill and St Kilda’s revered Astor Theatre. “I like to entertain people, I like to make people happy,” Kevin said. continued page |

MONEY MATTERS
Financial stress on the rise about future interest rate rises is adding to households’ future pessimism – especially those with mortgages. A third (31%) of households expect to be worse off financially if the RBA raises the official cash rate by 1 per cent from its record low of 1.5 per cent, including half (47 per cent) of those with a mortgage, while only seven per cent with high comfort levels (typically high income and/ or wealthy Australians) expect to be worse off. On average, mortgaged households are paying over a third of their post-tax income on their repayments, including 15 per cent paying more than a half and 48 per cent paying more than 30 per cent of their post-tax income. 3. Income woes and underemployment exacerbating the problem While there have been some recent improvements in the labour market, weak household income and underemployment are hurting the financial comfort of most households, particularly those earning less than $100,000. The proportion who felt they could ‘somewhat or very easily find a new job within two months if they became unemployed’ increased from 37 per cent to 42 per cent coupled with a 6 point increase to 69 per cent of households feeling secure with their job, likely contributed to a 3 per cent rise in comfort with income in the six months to June 2017. Yet while households with annual incomes over $200,000 recorded a ‘double digit’ rise in financial comfort (up 10 per cent to 7.85), those earning under $40,000 per annum saw no change (static at 4.43). “Six months ago, we saw a clear income divide emerging between the rich and poor and in this Report, this gap is exacerbated further. “The average Australian household (those earning $75,000-$100,000) is showing signs of subdued income growth, with 44 per cent seeing no change in their income during the past financial year.”

Time for a spring clean AS the days are getting longer and warmer, it’s the perfect time to tackle some spring chores and clean up and prepare for outdoor living. Nothing is more pleasurable than sitting outside enjoying the garden and sunshine, especially after the long, cold winter. Not only are the days getting longer but so is the grass. So to get the best out of your lawn mower, give it a spring service so it can handle the busy grass cutting months ahead. Wash underneath to remove any build-up of cut grass and inspect the blades. Sharp blades give a much neater cut, so it’s good practice to change them annually. Clean the air filter and check the tyres. If the mower has not been used for a while and has fuel still in it, the fuel may be stale, so drain it out and fill with fresh fuel. Finally, check that all nuts, cables and hoses are tight. Revitalise water features by emptying them and scrubbing clean to remove any algae or decaying leaf matter. Don’t use harsh cleaners on bird baths
or ponds as this may linger and affect the quality of the water. Household detergent and elbow grease works the best and is much safer. And to make sitting in the garden more comfortable, give outdoor tables and chairs a spruce up. Grab a broom and sweep off any cobwebs and spiders. Wash the tables and chairs with warm water. Plastic or resin furniture can become stained so try spraying with household bleach, leave for a few minutes, then scrub and rinse off. Wear gloves and don’t do this on the lawn. Wooden outdoor furniture can become weathered and grey in colour. Restore and protect it by sanding smooth with sand paper and coating with garden furniture oil. This should be done once a year to keep furniture looking great and extend the life of the timber. Then find a sunny place to sit and relax and admire the beauty of your spring garden. Happy gardening.

RISING costs of necessities, combined with weak income gains and the potential for mortgage rate rises are causing financial stress among households, according to ME’s latest Household Financial Comfort Report. The report shows a growing number of households expect their financial comfort to worsen. ME Consulting economist and Report coauthor, Jeff Oughton, said “on the surface the financial comfort of the average Australian looks good, but it’s fragile – susceptible to housing stress and energy cost shocks. “Overall financial comfort rose most notably due to 3 per cent rises in comfort with savings, income, and investments, reflecting some improvements in the labour market, rising house values and investments. “But the cost of necessities remains the biggest concern for Australians and when combined with stagnating or falling income for up to nearly 70 per cent of households, expected further rises in the cost of necessities like power prices, as well as rises in mortgage rates, the future doesn’t look as bright for some.” The report shows three key areas of concern for Australian households: 1. Cost of necessities is the top worry for Australian households According to the Report, the increasingly high cost of necessities including energy, fuel and even groceries – is a major pain point among Australians. The Report found about half of Australians have no spare cash at the end of each month (51 per cent typically spend all their income or more), while in the past 12 months only 32 per cent of households reported higher incomes. Of households whose financial situation worsened in the six months to June 2017, almost 40 per cent claimed the cost of necessities as the primary reason. 2. Forecast interest rate rises causing major concerns With mortgage interest rates up significantly over the past six months, apprehension

VETS CORNER
FEATURE STORY
from page |
1
Preparing for summer holidays IT may seem a bit premature to be thinking about summer holidays while the temperatures are still dipping below zero overnight, but summer will be here before we know it. As the weather warms up many people and their pets spread around the continent on their annual summer breaks. Taking a pet from its normal environment and taking it to the beach or another holiday site can expose it to potential health risks that it would not normally be exposed to. Tick paralysis is the classic situation for this. In North East Victoria we are lucky enough not to have paralysis ticks endemic to our region, but many coastal and more humid areas of Australia are not so lucky. Prevention of paralysis ticks is a two pronged attack using anti-tick collars/spot-ons/tablets and daily searches for any paralysis ticks. It is best to begin tick preventative treatments a week before heading into a tick affected area and to continue them appropriately whilst you are away. Special devices for pulling ticks off an animal can also be purchased from your vet clinic. Applying methylated spirits carefully to a tick can also aid in causing them to fall off. If you do find a tick on your pet whilst in a tick area it is best to see a veterinarian as soon as possible to have them assessed.
Heartworm is also much more prevalent in other areas of Australia than North East Victoria. It always pays to have your dog protected against this potentially fatal disease, but if you are heading to the tropics or other areas with large mosquito populations then the recommendation for preventatives becomes even stronger. It is also worth planning ahead to make sure that your pet’s vaccinations are up to date before taking them away with you. Conversely if you are leaving your pet at the boarding kennel getting them up to date with their required vaccinations a few weeks prior to your vacation is always a good idea. It is fairly common to be vaccinating pets on Christmas Eve for people with their cars full and surfboards on the roof, but this isn’t the ideal situation. Tim Craig BVSc Warby St Veterinary Hospital

◆ ON THE BEAT: Kevin Adams (second left) has many fond memories of performing with Moonlight Dance Band members (from left) Stewart Feldtman, Matthew Morley and Andrew Passmore. ◆ MEMORY LANE (Inset left): Kevin Adams entertaining the crowds at Wangaratta Co-Store’s relaunch in the early 1990s.
He has a special fondness for his time running the drivein, remembering the family atmosphere of movie nights and the community feel of the venue. “It was probably the best time of my entire working life,” he said, fondly recalling his performances with local theatre groups and the love he developed for romantic and melancholy tunes from shows such as Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Evita and Cats. “I’m a hopeless romantic,” he said. “The lyrics seem to mean a lot more.”
Wangaratta Kennel & Obedience Dog Club Inc.
One of his fondest memories was rehearsing the ballad Far From The Home I Love from Fiddler on the Roof with local singer Natalie Blanchard, who will be performing with him in Wangaratta next week. She played Hodl in the production they were rehearsing, and will be revisiting the tune together in their upcoming Steinway on Stage concert series presented by the Wangaratta Arts Council at Wangaratta Performing Arts Centre at 6pm on Wednesday, September 13.

◆ NICE CATCH: Wayne ‘Strawba’ Gardner with one of his season opening trout that he caught in a small stream on Saturday morning on a bullet lure.
Season opening delivers for some TROUT season opened last Saturday and what a fantastic day it was for so many anglers. Each year trout opening weekend is becoming more and more popular among anglers, which is a great thing for the fishing community. On the weekend I was swamped with amazing fish photos from around the region. The Buckland River produced some lovely trout, so too did the Buffalo River near Abbeyards, the Mitta Mitta River upstream of Eskdale, sections of the King River, and I also had a variety of mixed reports from the many smaller creeks and tributaries across the region. I had one report from the Ovens River
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
near Freeburgh that was not great, and another report from the Kiewa River near Dederang that was OK but not red hot. So by and large the trout season has started off great for a lot of people with the upper Buffalo River and Buckland River both standing out. I fished a tributary of the King River with my mate Wayne ‘Strawba’ Gardner which was OK. We managed 11 trout between us over a four hour period with the biggest being somewhere in the low 30cm size.
So the fishing was not red hot for us, but we sure did have one of the most amazing mornings full of mateship, laughter and a moderate amount of banter. To see the video of our opening morning trout session, look up my YouTube channel ‘robbiefishing’ or search for the video on YouTube called; Trout Opening 2017 featuring Wayne Strawba’ Gardner’ In other news I have had a few reports of redfin being caught at Lake Moodemere on worms. The redfin have not been huge, nor have they been plentiful, but for this time of the year just being able to catch a few redfin is a great thing.

DVD The Mummy (M) NICK Morton is a soldier of fortune who plunders ancient sites for timeless artefacts and sells them to the highest bidder. When Nick and his partner come under attack in the Middle East, the ensuing battle accidentally unearths Ahmanet, a betrayed Egyptian princess who was entombed under the desert for thousands of years.
CD Villains by Queens of the Stone Age VILLAINS is another worthy addition to the bands’ discography and is sure to be embraced by their fans. The title is a comment on the various viewpoints of who is a “villain� in any given situation.
BOOK Detours by Tim Rogers TIM Rogers of You Am I has always been a complicated man: a hard-drinking musician with the soul of a poet; a flamboyant flâneur; a raconteur, a romantic and a raffish ne’er-do-well. In this offbeat, endearing memoir, Tim walks us through years jam-packed with love, shame, joy, enthusiasms, regrets, fights, family - and music. Published by HarperCollins
Increasing your libido THERE can be a list of things that can contribute to low libido: physical pain (dryness of the vagina, menopause, period pain, joint pain), low energy, insomnia (small children, stress/anxiety), resentment in the relationship, emotional wounds from previous relationships (cheating, sexual abuse) and as naturopaths we often discuss and treat the above during consultations. However the biggest mood killer (besides young children) is the stress response. Historically, we had intercourse for reproduction and when the tribal woman were under stress (famine, drought) then reproduction was put on the back burner. Things really haven’t changed for us physiologically, but what has changed is our constant state of stress. We generally are overcommitted, over worked, trying to be a full time worker/parent/daughter/friend and be everything to everyone. Then compound that with a western diet laden with refined carbohydrates, sugars and chemicals all washed down with an unhealthy dose of caffeine (tea, coffee, soft drink and energy drinks) and alcohol and you have the perfect recipe for high stress hormones and low desire to reproduce. Top tips to get your “boom chica wow
wow� back in the bedroom: 1) Get rid of the commitments that don’t serve you‌ you know what they are! Make each other a priority. 2) Eat lean protein, multiple colours of veg/leafy greens and healthy fats with each main meal for great hormones and weight management. 3) Consume more water than flavoured fluid, this includes coffee and tea. 4) Take time out, individually and together as a couple. Set it on the calendar if you have to. 5) Try taking a bath/ spa/ shower together. Having a coffee/ dinner date. 6) Send the kids to bed early and forget about the dishes for one night. 7) Set the mood with candles, essential oils like Rose, Neroli, Clary sage and Ylang Ylang (can be used in bath, massage oil or oil burner) note: be careful where you place these oils and dilute with massage oil or moisturiser. 8) Greet each other with a kiss and hug at the end of the day. 9) Don’t forget foreplay! Stress naturally dries up secretions so you might want to pay a bit more attention here. 10) Consult a qualified naturopath, who can guide you through stress management supplements and techniques to help all areas of your health including libido.

Pfeiffer Wines
2017 Ensemble Rosé Around $16
WITH ANITA McPHERSON Tempranillo with a little Gewurztraminer, and has a bright, pink hue and delicate aroma of summer berries, leaning towards cherry. It’s delicious lightly chilled and although there is a hint of sweetness with the fresh but restrained red berry fruit flavours, it is nicely balanced, coming to a pleasantly clean, dry finish. That means it’s versatile, making a great aperitif but also working well with seafood and anything with the richness of cream or cheese. It also paired beautifully with the vanilla bean panna cotta, which luckily I had first dibs on. Try it at the cellar door in Wahgunyah or go to www. pfeifferwines.com.au

INGREDIENTS
WHEN you try a new restaurant it’s important to sample as many dishes as possible to get a true sense of the style and whether or not you like it. One dish will never be truly representative of the experience as a whole, especially if it’s flawed or if you simply made the wrong choice. When there are only two of you it means it’s imperative to choose different things which can be tricky if you both have your eye on the same one. It comes down to one being more chivalrous than the other, or if manners aren’t your thing, a race to claim first dibs. Gallantry usually means I get to go first which was just as well when it was a creamy salmon and leek pie with a glass of Pfeiffer Ensemble Rose.

TECH AND SCIENCE
Five fascinating creatures of the deep sea â—† Giant Isopod
WITH CHRIS FEBVRE, NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER cfebvre@nemedia.com.au
EARTH’S oceans are a fascinating place and one of the few remaining areas of the globe which remain a mystery to humankind, despite it being the lifeblood of the planet. Our oceans drive the weather, regulate temperature and support all living organisms. Presently, less than five per cent of the ocean depths have been explored, which means there is still plenty we don’t know about them, or the creatures that inhabit them. For that reason, I thought I’d take a look at some of the most interesting animals that live in the deep blue sea. Goblin shark The goblin shark is a rare species of shark and the only extant species of the family known as Mitsukurinidae which dates back some 125 millions years. For this reason the goblin shark is labelled a ‘living fossil’. It’s elongated snout, translucent skin, and a row of nail-like teeth make for a terrifying visage, and it can grow up to four metres in length. Thankfully, the goblin shark lives at depths of around 270 metres, so it’s unlikely you’ll come across one while paddling at the beach. Giant isopod The giant isopod belongs to the family of crustaceans and are similar in physiology to crabs and shrimp, although they closely resemble the much smaller woodlouse. Growing up to 36 centimetres in length, they are a good example
â—† Viperfish
â—† Angler Fish
â—† Goblin Shark
of deep-sea gigantism, a feature common to many deep sea creatures, due to them being much larger than a typical isopod which grows to roughly five centimetres in length. They are of little interest to most commercial fisheries, although they are eaten in Taiwan. Angler fish This scary predator receives it’s name due to the fleshy protrusion, known as an illicium, that juts from the top of it’s head and acts as a lure for it’s prey. Like many deep sea creatures,
â—† Giant Squid
some species of Angler fish are bioluminescent, which means their illicium produces light. The angler fish will wriggle the illicium in order to resemble small prey, which lures other fish close enough so that the angler fish can consume them using their row of needle-like teeth. Viperfish The term ‘viperfish’ encompasses fish of the genus Chauliodus. They are characterized by long, needle-like teeth and a hinged lower jaw, making their bite particularly
deadly for their prey. Similar to the angler fish, viper fish also use bioluminescence to lure their prey close, and they are capable of turning this natural light on and off like a light switch. Interestingly, they also use this light to communicate with potential mates. But with a face like theirs, surely only their mothers would love them. Giant squid Often portrayed in sailor’s myths and legends, most notably by the name of ‘kraken’, the giant squid is
another species that can grow to tremendous size due to deep-sea gigantism. With a maximum size of 13 metres, the giant squid truly is one of the wonders of the ocean, and has become even more legendary due to how rarely they are observed. Like all squid, a giant squid has a mantle (torso), eight arms, and two longer tentacles. The arms and tentacles themselves are lined with hundreds of serrated suction cups that the squid uses to attach itself to it’s prey.
