Unearthing the past By JAMIE KRONBORG A MODERN-day archaeological dig sparked by a fluted ceramic meat platter, glazed teapot, jug and a terracotta butter bell has led to a compelling journey into Beechworth’s industrial past. Everton potter Bob Schulze first saw the four pieces in the town’s Burke Museum about 36 years ago. The everyday domestic items from late colonial Victoria were labelled ‘Ovens Pottery Co’ but little else of their history provenance was known – except that Beechworth had once been home to a pottery. Burke Museum collections manager and curator Linda Peacock said she had later developed an appreciation for what she saw in her early career as “unique, utilitarian items – beautiful in their outward simplicity”. “Their contents long gone, the vessels in the museum retained within them their stories, but they were stories that only experience could decipher,” she said. Bob Schulze had enrolled at Wangaratta Senior Technical College in 1966. Jim Beattie, who had revived and reintroduced ceramics to the college art certificate course, then encouraged him to study ceramics at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. In 1975 Bob set up at Glenrowan a studio pottery called ‘Stonehedge’ with fellow potters Charlie Timma and Dave Edwards. Two years later he was offered an opportunity to work with the Nakazato family, potters for 13 generations on Kyushu island in south-western Japan and renowned for karatsu, raku and hagi-style works.

01:46 MOVING PICTURES: Augmented reality software opens up a host of great new options for print media.
Augmented reality newspapers WITH CHRIS FEBVRE, NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER
cfebvre@nemedia.com.au
WHAT if I told you newspapers, magazines and other print media could come to life via augmented reality? What if I told you this very article you’re reading can? That’s right, the moving newspapers featured in the Harry Potter films are now reality thanks to some of the latest technology available. Augmented reality software platforms allow print media creators to essentially bridge the gap between the digital world and traditional media. Using the inbuilt camera in a smartphone, tablet, or even compatible augmented reality wearables, a user can observe static physical content come to life in a variety of ways, from slideshows, to videos, all the way to 3D models that appear as though they are in the real world. For news media, this potentially opens up a host of options to provide content to readers. The demonstration in this article utilises the Zappar app as it seems to be the easiest, most robust and responsive for content consumers and creators from my research.
Essentially the app registers the entire image and it is linked to the video content you’ll see if you download Zappar and and try it out. I had a blast putting this together and I certainly hope to do more in the near future so keep Zappar handy. There’s only one problem. Now that I’ve uploaded myself to virtual reality, I can’t seem to find my way out. Zap the picture above to find out how you, dear reader, might be able to help me. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Download Zappar from the App Store or the Play Store. 2. Open Zappar and point your camera at the entire image above. Compatibility: iPhone 3GS and later, iPod touch 4th gen and later with a rear facing camera, iPad 2, and later, most Android devices running Android 2.2 and later. See: https://www.zappar.com/support/ for more info.
THIS week, my son and I created a new succulent garden. Well, extended is probably a better definition. The existing succulent garden is located along a shed wall and as the shed was extended we literally extended the garden in line with the shed. In fact, as the sheets of iron were screwed into place we were laying the rock edging. The original succulent garden is about five years old and well established. It is edged with rocks and forms a triangular garden along the length of the shed and beside a covered walkway. It faces west and has thrived in the heat of previous summers and tolerated the rain, hail and frosts of winter. The original garden also needed thinning out, so it was the perfect source of plants for the new section. To get started, the rocks were layed upright along the edging and dug in slightly for support. The finished edging stands around 20-30cm tall. All grass, weeds and debris were removed and the ground slightly tilled. Then the area was filled to a depth of 15cm with gravely soil and sand which were mixed together to create a quick draining soil. Then to the planting. Before putting the plants in
WITH DEBBI GIBSON, HORTICULTURALIST
the ground, I like to place them in position first to get an idea of spacing between the plants, the colour combinations and sizes. Succulents and cacti come in three basic forms, upright, mounding and low creeping or spreading. They also come in a range of colours varying from green, blue, purple, grey, red, pink, burgundy, silver, yellow, variegated and combinations of the colours. The planting arrangements were basically larger growing succulents at the back and middle of the bed with lower growing mounding and spreading plants in between and at the front of the bed. Plants used included the taller growing Aeonium arboretum, the dark burgundy and green form, blue senecio also known as blue chalk, dwarf and tall varieties, a large Agave and a selection of various Echeveria, Sempervivum and Sedums, including the colourful Jelly bean plant. Have a go this weekend. Happy gardening.

Dog social skills want, such as jumping up to greet you, ignore that behaviour including avoiding eye contact. Pushing them away or talking to them when they are jumping can be interpreted as encouragement and may reinforce the behaviour. Only reward your dog once the desired behaviour (ie all four feet are on the ground) is achieved. We want you and your dog to have fun with training, so make sure it is always a positive experience. Training doesn’t end with puppy school, socialisation and training can continue throughout the life of your pet. You should aim for 10-15 minutes of training a day – this can be as simple as practising ‘sit’ in the living room, or as involved as enrolling in dog agility. If you’re catching up with friends, turn it into a puppy or dog play date let your dogs have an outing as well. Dogs become part of our family, having a well socialised, obedient dog makes life much easier for you, and much happier for your pet. For more handy tips on a range of pet topics check out the AVA website (www.ava. com.au) Julia Smith, Wangaratta Veterinary Clinic
WE might think of the puppy school as the place our pups can learn to sit and stay, but there’s a lot more to it than that, and the benefits will be lifelong. Socialisation for puppies is extremely important for their development. Regular, friendly social contact with other dogs and humans, especially in the first 16 weeks of life, helps get a well adjusted pup. Even if your pup is older, working on their safe social interactions is definitely worthwhile. Puppy preschool early on, and puppy obedience or agility classes later on, can provide this environment. As discussed on the AVA (Australian Veterinary Association) website friendly socialisation has been shown to decrease fear of other dogs and people, and improve a dog’s ability to cope with new situations. When you are going to classes, make sure the trainer is experienced and qualified. Use reward-based training methods – where ‘unwanted’ behaviours are ignored and ‘good’ or wanted behaviours are praised and rewarded. This will develop a fun environment for your dog, and a good bond between you both. Rewards can be treats, verbal praise, or attention, whatever works for you and your dog. Every time your dog does a behaviour you want, you reward them. If your dog does something you don’t

SURVIVORS: Complete wheel-thrown terracotta flower pots and shards from the Ovens Pottery Beechworth 1891-92 collected by Bob Schulze. PHOTO: Jamie Kronborg
In 1983 Bob established Brookfield studio pottery near Everton, became one of the founding members Potters’ Beechworth Gallery and pursued research of Beechworth’s pottery history that came to involve his wife, Anne, a former teacher, and son Stephen, a graphic designer. The work spanned more than three decades and has led to a limited edition book, ‘The early Beechworth potteries 1882-1892’, released at a special exhibition which opened at the Burke Museum on Saturday. Bob said he began to take a serious interest in the history of Australian pottery at RMIT and by 1980 had become aware of an early pottery at Beechworth. Anne, then an English teacher at what was Beechworth High School, discovered “a wealth of information” in the pages of colonial editions of the Ovens and Murray Advertiser – now owned by North East Media – in which longstanding late Victorian editor Richard Warren had been a staunch advocate for Beechworth’s industrial development in the wake of the mid-19th century gold rush. “As I read through…piece by piece the story of this part of local history began to emerge and fit together,” said Bob. “To my surprise, the editorials, columns and
advertisements revealed that there had been not one but three potteries (on one site) at Hurdle Flat between Beechworth and Stanley.” Beechworth Pottery Company, H. L. & E. Beechworth and Ovens Pottery Co Beechworth operated for just a decade to 1892. The Collins family has long since farmed the land on which these potteries stood and made and fired a range of utilitarian and decorative wares. “They allowed me to collect shards on their property,” Bob said. “Without the information these shards reveal, the positive identification of complete pots and the book would not have been possible.” What Bob describes as “the successful achievement by early Beechworth potters within a brief 10-year period” are now shown in ‘Clay and Fire’, an exhibition at the Burke Museum that runs until December. It includes pieces from Bob’s collection, other private collections, National Pottery Museum in Holbrook and the Burke’s holdings. Bob’s book also reproduces the only known photograph of any of the three potteries – taken of the Ovens Pottery Co and its bottle kilns in 1891.

PHOTO: Robbie Alexander
Tough going for trout opening TWO deluges of rain last week leading up to trout opening ensured that there was no shortage of water around for keen anglers to contend with. In fact, there was so much water lying around that I had to drive through floodwater just to get to where I wanted to go fishing. I chose to fish a small tributary of the King River - a stream usually only a metre or two wide which had been converted into a swollen raging torrent for the weekend. To my surprise I managed to land 11 trout all up, made up of two rainbow trout and nine brown trout, which were all released. I lost a few others and also landed a Murray crayfish which was heavily laden with eggs and put back. All of my trout were caught using worms for bait, and I had to use a

I found that by fishing less pools and spending more time waiting for the fish to find me I was able to end up with quite a successful opening. The general consensus around the region was much the same, with many people staying home simply because we had received too much rain. Those that went out though did

it tough in the high water and a few managed to pick up the odd trout. I have had one report from the Mitta Mitta River near Eskdale of three trout being caught on worms in high and dirty water, but not flooded. Another angler reported that the going was tough in the fast flowing, high and dirty waters of the Rose, Buffalo and Ovens rivers. With little rain in the forecast this week, next week should see some really good conditions in the streams, although the water will still be quite high. On another note, Murray cod closed season is now in place across Victoria throughout spring, but the one exception is Lake Eildon. The State Government has decided to allow Murray cod to be taken in the lake this season, with normal bag limit and slot sizes applying.

Fluid retention – the puffy factor HAVE you ever wondered why some days your rings will fit perfectly and the next will be squashing your fingers? Or why your feet won’t fit in those summer sandals? And, why is it that suddenly one day you’re 3kg lighter or heavier than the day before? Fluid retention is that ‘puffy, heavy’ feeling, and is what happens when the body fluids swell, causing weight fluctuations, and general tissue tightness and stiffness in the area affected. Some people notice it only in their ankles and feet, for others it is the breast tissue, or maybe you notice systemic swelling – which means that the whole body goes up and down with fluid changes. Occasionally patients will present with digestive bloating, caused by fluid retention, especially in women who only experience pre-menstrual bloating. Fluid and puffiness is a normal response to a bite, burn or injury. But if you have residual puffiness after the pain and discomfort is gone, it means that complete healing has not occurred.
BY NORTH EAST NATURAL HEALTH CENTRE’S NATUROPATHS SOPHIE LORBACK AND BELINDA MCPHERSON (BHSCI. NATUROPATHY)
GET UP: A sednentary lifestyle, whether at work or home, can contribute to fluid retention. For mild to moderate fluid retention, natural therapies can be of great benefit. Is your diet involved? Salt: high salt intake has been linked to fluid retention Food intolerances: leading to systemic inflammation. If you suspect food intolerance get it checked out. Dehydration, poor electrolyte intake and eating MSG can contribute to puffiness in some people.
Is your lifestyle making it worse? Stress: due to sugar and salt cravings, but long term stress will also effect the way your body processes and removes fluid. Sedentary lifestyle: Fluid gets trapped in the body when we don’t move. You need to increase circulation by moving and stretching daily. So often, it is not one, but a combination of these that leads to overall puffiness.

The Spanish style has a deep, dark crimson colour and a toasty aroma of spicy wild berries. It’s generously flavoured with ripe, raspberry and blackberry fruit, accented by the savouriness of dried herbs and tobacco. It has a rich and kind of soothing quality which refreshes the palate and really complements spicy food like a few slices of chewy, homemade salami.

BEAUTY may be in the eye of the beholder but taste seems to be equally subjective, especially when it comes to chilli. It doesn’t matter how many of those little red chillies they put next to a dish on your local Indian, Thai or Mexican menu, there will always be those who say it’s too hot or not hot enough. I used to think my own chilli heat threshold was reasonably high, until a birds-eye dotted Vietnamese calamari and then a Korean Bulgogi that had me crying and calling for help. Ideally the kick shouldn’t overpower the flavour of the chilli fruit, or leave you unable to taste anything else, which is why I love a homemade, spicy salami. The best ones are packed full of spicy flavour with just the right level of bang for your buck, and alone or on a pizza they taste delicious with Tempranillo.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE
Hiring new employees? SO things are picking up and you need to hire a new employee. This is not a single event and understanding each step in the process will help you get the best outcomes. There are now workplace laws that apply to all employees in the national workplace relations system. Before hiring a new employee make certain you know about your responsibilities under the Fair Work Act 2009. My reading this week has included articles about large employers who have not been paying the correct wages to employees, some whom are owed large sums. There is usually coverage under a Modern Award which is a document that sets out the minimum wages and conditions for the industry or occupation. They will apply on top of the National Employment Standards (NES) and will cover things such as pay
By KEN CLARKE, WANGARATTA CERTIFIED PRACTICING ACCOUNTANT
kenclarke11@bigpond.com rates, hours of work, rosters, breaks, allowances, and of course penalty rates and overtime. To search for a modern award covering your business you can go to www.fairwork.gov.au/awards. But some employees will be covered under an enterprise agreement that is negotiated between the employer, a group of employees and their representatives. It will set out the minimum wages and conditions for a particular workplace and when in place it will usually apply instead of a modern award.
The agreement is required to be lodged with the Fair Work Commission for approval. To find out more about making an enterprise agreement for your business, visit the Fair Work Commission website www.fwc.gov.au. There are 10 standards in the National Employment Standards which apply to all employees in the national system. They cover maximum weekly hours – 38 hours per week, plus reasonable additional hours. Certain employees can request flexible working arrangements. Parental leave is also covered, with up to 12 months unpaid leave for each employee, as well as the right to ask for an additional 12 months leave. Annual leave is four weeks paid leave per year, plus an additional week for some shift workers. Personal/carers leave and compassionate leave – is 10 days paid
personal/carers leave per year, two days unpaid carer’s leave and two days compassionate leave (unpaid for casual employees) as required. If you are community minded you will be entitled to unpaid leave for voluntary emergency management activities and leave for jury service. Long service leave is also covered in the NES which is paid leave for employees who have been with the same employer for a long time. Public holidays gazetted by government entitles employees to be paid for this day, unless reasonably requested to work. Notice of termination and redundancy pay, – up to five weeks notice of termination and up to 16 weeks redundancy pay. And finally all new employees must be provided with a Fair Work Information Statement. Taxation and superannuation are often not treated as they should be
by employers. Employers need to meet tax obligations for all workers. This includes PAYG withholding tax and superannuation and depending on the size of the business some may also be required to pay payroll tax. The ATO can give advice on tax and superannuation obligations at www.ato.gov.au/business/ employers. As an employer, you are also responsible for providing a healthy and safe working environment for your employees. And don’t forget you will also need to pay workers compensation insurance for employees. Talk to your accountant before undertaking additional staff, but if you want a comprehensive summary this is available from www.fairwork. gov.au and I would suggest you visit this site.
