FOR as long as she can remember, Michelle Turnbull has always been at her happiest playing sport and being part of a team. Even as a child growing up in Wangaratta, few things could keep her away from a sporting match, from netball to volleyball, soccer and even AFL. “I love team sports because of that feeling of being part of a family that are all working towards the same goal,” Michelle said. “I enjoy and love learning off others and also passing my skills onto others.” These days she can found in the vibrant purple uniform putting herself on the line as a member of female gridiron team, the Melbourne Maidens - part of the Ladies Gridiron League (LGL). Michelle “fell in love” with gridiron during her university days, watching as many matches on television as she could when she was not able to watch her favourite NRL matches. Approached by a female team to play the game after moving to Melbourne, she was hooked straight away. “I think I was always meant to play contact sport….there is something in the way I feel when I use my power and strength to make a tackle or run through someone,” she said. “It’s definitely the adrenalin – give me grounded, hard hitting sport any day over skydiving. “I have enjoyed pushing myself to a peak of fitness that I didn’t think I would ever reach. “Gridiron is quite incredible at finding muscles you didn’t even know existed.” And, as in her school days, Michelle thrives on the camaraderie of the team environment. “Maidens is like my second family,” she said. continued page |

Kids and scarecrows
Name:
Roberta Baker
Town:
Beechworth
What’s in your garden: All native plants, mostly indigenous to the North East with some specimens from Western Australia and many native grasses from our front paddock that I have replanted in the garden. What do you enjoy about gardening: The physicality of it and the sense of achievement without having to think very much about it, now that it is established. It is the one activity where I can turn off my busy brain. So, while the work is physical, it is mentally and spiritually restful. Favourite plant/spot in your garden: I have two. The seat near the kunzias on the north side of the house and the seat that faces Mt Buffalo on the south side. The bird life that has come to the garden has been a special treat for us. We hoped we could attract more native birds with what we planted and that has worked out really well. Both seats allow us to see the birdlife without getting in their way. Water saving/ conservation tip: Most native plants
RELAXED: Roberta Baker enjoys the tranquility of her garden.
are great for low water maintenance, but I would say the secret is mulch – mulch of newspaper then straw, or tan bark, stones or small rocks. Your tips to keep gardens in top shape: In my garden the native plants do need trimming and I can cut them back pretty hard and they bounce back even stronger. Although I tend to not do this too much with some of my shrubs because I like the sculptural effect of the rangy
branches. I believe a garden is to ‘live in’ and enjoy so the best tip for keeping a garden like mine in top shape is to not worry too much about it now that it is well established. I like my garden to have its own personality and find its own way, and basic trimming and weeding is enough. Then I sit back with the newspaper or a good book, relax and enjoy it. I think this approach could suit most gardens.

THIS week I called in on a friend who was busy entertaining some visiting children. It was a perfect spring day, with plenty of sunshine and the kids were eager to spend some time outside. They had the perfect project to get stuck into; make a scarecrow to protect the newly planted summer veggies. When it comes to making scarecrows, the rules are pretty simple. They need a basic frame with a head and arms, some old clothes to dress them in and a hat. And for that authentic look, stuff the clothes with some straw. The kids had already collected the “ingredients� for their scarecrow. The frame was made from an old broken rake with a cross bar tied on with cable ties to form the arms. The head was a discarded hairdressing model used to practice haircuts, which was attached to the rake handle (he may have had a dodgy haircut but that was to be covered with a big floppy straw hat). The clothing chosen was a pair of aqua ski overalls and a red checked flannelette shirt. These were hung from the crossbar arms and string tied around the wrists and ankles to keep the straw in. Then came the fun task of stuffing
HORTICULTURALIST
the clothes with straw. To get the straw all the way down the legs, the kids came up with the idea of using a stick to help push the straw all the way down. Finally, a pair of worn out work boots were added and the hat placed on his not so perfect head. Part of the fun in making a scarecrow is gathering the bits and pieces. Kids have amazing imaginations so let them run free with ideas and be creative. Let them help chose the “ingredients� from whatever materials are available. This is recycling at its best. It is amazing what can be used and no two scarecrows are ever same. The secret to a successful scarecrow is movement. Move the scarecrow around the garden and change its posture, clothing and hats regularly to keep the birds fooled. Happy gardening.

FEATURE STORY
Iris cysts in dogs
A gridiron maiden
THE discovery of a small black lump inside your dog’s eye can be a worrying time. In a worst case scenario the lump can be a melanoma, which is a serious type of cancer. In other cases however the small black lump is a benign process called an iris cyst. These cysts are fluid filled and form by pinching off the back of the iris (the coloured part of the eye). Usually they are quite small, measuring around 2-3mm in diameter. They can be single or multiple and when there are a lot they can in rare cases affect the dog’s vision. The nice thing about determining whether the black lump is a cyst or potentially something more serious is that the cysts are free in the front of the eye and float around. A cancer is fixed to the iris and won’t move around. A nice trick if possible is to roll the dog on its back while watching the eye.

If you are dealing with an iris cyst you will see it float gently downwards under the influence of gravity. In most cases the best thing to do when there is one of these cysts is to just monitor the situation. If there are a lot of them then surgical removal or dissolution by laser therapy can be considered. In the case of melanoma of the eye the best course of action is removal of the eye. In most cases in dogs the melanoma does not spread rapidly from the eye and the prognosis after eye removal is good. Tim Craig BVSc, Warby St Veterinary Hospital

PETS CORNER THIS week’s pet of the week at the Wangaratta RSPCA is Milly, a domestic longhair cat who is one year old, female, and ginger/white in colour. To see more animals up for adoption at the Wangaratta RSPCA, visit the shelter in Connell Street or phone (03) 57222874.
“Even with gridiron being very segregated because you have defence and offence, we all still come together at the end of every training session. “At the end of the day, we all have the same goal and it’s about making each other better and playing as one unit. “We all help each other.” Michelle has played gridiron since 2013, initially starting out with the Northern Lady Raiders, and one of the highlights of her gridiron career so far has been playing for the American team in a Tri Nations competition late last year.
She said that at the moment the league is building towards its season opening at the start of November. “Crowds have been amazing,” she said of her playing experience. “Our Tri Nation had such a great reaction. “We have had such great fans that are always supporting us online and at our functions, charity events and games.” Michelle said the visibility and success of women in sport had improved in leaps and bounds, from women’s AFL, cricket and soccer to the phenomenal success of UFC fighter Ronda Rousey.
GAPSTED WINES
“The strengths I see in playing this sport, from all the females I play with, shows me again and again that sport and fitness is for everyone – different builds, different body types and different sporting skills,” she said. “What I enjoy hearing these days is people being blown away with the power and strength of our girls, and creating a realisation in our audiences that we are there to play, and play hard.” You can find more information on the Facebook pages of the Melbourne Maidens or the LGL, or see www.ladiesgridiron.com.

WHAT A WHOPPER: Young Matthew Barnett with a thumper of a brown trout he caught in Lake Hume last Sunday. Many trophy trout have been caught in the lake recently, and this should continue for a little while yet.
Fishing action has heated up THIS current dry spell is lending itself to some fantastic fishing around the region at the moment. Trout and yellowbelly reports keep coming in thick and fast, as well as some great reports from those anglers, such as myself, that enjoy targeting carp. Lake Hume continues to fire with plenty of reports of yellowbelly being caught. Not everybody is catching them, but a lot of people are, particularly the locals, and some are catching them in quite good numbers. Yellowbelly have a tendency to school up at this time of the year, so it is worth hammering one spot if you are fortunate enough to catch one as there may well be more in the area. Many anglers will troll with
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
medium sized hard body lures such as the wide body McGrath lures or number two stumpjumpers until they catch a yellowbelly. Then, they will troll backwards and forwards across that same area, or anchor or drift around that area casting lures which can be fished vertically like lipless crankbaits or medium sized soft plastics in search of more fish. As redfin have similar diets to yellowbelly, it is not uncommon for anglers to catch a few of them as a bycatch while targeting the yellowbelly. Lake Eildon has been hit and miss
with all species recently, and Lake Nillahcootie has been fishing slow, but this should change soon with this recent warm weather and a few yellowbelly should start being caught there. The trout fishing has continued to be outstanding across the region in the creeks, rivers and lakes. I have had reports of trout being trolled in Lake William Hovell on winged lures such as Tassie Devil’s, particularly in the early morning and late evening. Lake Hume continues to produce some massive trout, with trolling winged lures and long thin minnows proving to be the best, and in the streams I have had reports coming in from around the region, with two good reports from the Kiewa River coming in just this week.

The Anti Cool Girl by Rosie Waterland GROWING up in housing commission with a near-perfect, beautiful older sister, Rosie Waterland realised that cool was just not going to be her currency in this life, and it took her many years into adulthood to realise the only way forward was to become an Anti-Cool Girl. Her memoir about surviving the very worst that life can throw at you is raw, hilarious, heartbreaking and subversive. Published by HarperCollins
What can I eat in pregnancy? MOST of our pregnancy diet advice comes in the form of what to steer clear of: cheeses, alcohol, cigarettes, deli meats, reheated foods and salad bar salads. I know for many women that this can make the nine months a time full of anxiety about what to actually eat and also feel like they are being deprived of their favourite foods. Many women come in asking – so what CAN I eat? I like to think of pregnancy as an opportunity to really raise your nutritional bar and develop a healthy way of eating that can nourish the mum to be and pass on a positive effect to bub whilst in utero and then once born. While it is very important to follow the guidelines to prevent infections and food related nutritional side effects I like to go a step further and provide mums with a list of foods to enhance their pregnancy journey and optimise nutritional outcomes (the following assumes a healthy pregnancy and does not take the place of medical advice). Fibre: fruit, vegetables, LSA, oats, shredded coconut, wholegrains, legumes Spleen tonics and iron builders: red meat, cinnamon, bone broths, whole chicken soup, shitake mushrooms, ginger, beetroots, green leafy vegetables. Electrolytes, hydration and calcium: 2L water, miso

soup, broths, coconut water, herbal teas (rooibos, nettle, peppermint, chamomile), dairy foods, natural yoghurt, chickpeas, tahini, nuts and seeds Blood sugar stabilisation and energy boosters: brown rice, oats, wholegrain toast, eggs lean protein (red meat chicken fish) regular snacking on above foods. Eating well during pregnancy can help prevent
diet related nutritional deficiencies which lead to many common pregnancy ‘symptoms’ including nausea, muscle cramps, fatigue, anaemia, gestational diabetes, infections and bowel issues.

seafood, white meat or eggbased dishes. It’s bright and fruity with an enticing, tropical bouquet filled with frangipani and passionfruit. The flavour is fresh and spritely, with more passionfruit and melon, finishing with a lively, citrus acidity. It’s made from fruit harvested from Brown Brothers Tasmanian vineyards, where the morning air is as cool and fresh as the fruit itself. This wine is ideal with shellfish like scallops, or whiting fillets fried in butter, but it’s also delicious with the natural creaminess of my golden eggs.

Roasted sweet potato, lentil and broccoli salad
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Cardinal Wiseman, 1857 BENJAMIN Warby of Taminick was renowned throughout the North East for the quality of his livestock. He is credited with pioneering the introduction of thoroughbred blood to district horses. The pride of his stud was Cardinal Wiseman, a brilliant galloper, but according to some reports, an “ugly headed brute” of a horse. The big black Victorian stallion won, in the fastest time ever recorded for two miles in the colony, the Jockey Club Cup in Melbourne on October 7, 1857.
DID you know over 90 per cent of Australians don’t eat the recommended five serves of vegetables each day? “Pick Right. Feel Bright!” is the theme of National Nutrition Week (1117 October), and Nutrition Australia are calling on all Aussies to enjoy more colourful fruit and vegetables every day. With in-season broccoli and protein-packed lentils, this spring salad is a great way to get your veggies in. It can be enjoyed warm or cold, as a main meal or smaller side dish. For more information about National Nutrition Week see www. nutritionaustralia.org/national/ national-nutrition-week. Method Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place sweet potato on tray, spray with oil and season with ground black pepper. Bake for 25 minutes, or until tender. Meanwhile, blanch broccoli until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain well. Place sweet potato, broccoli and
lentils into a large mixing bowl, season with ground black pepper and stir to combine. Combine yoghurt and tahini in a small bowl, adding 1–2 tablespoons warm water to thin out consistency if necessary. Drizzle salad with dressing before serving. Tips Add chopped coriander or walnuts to boost the flavour.

AFTER holding us to ransom for the last few months, the strike is finally over and the chooks have started laying again. I suspect “Speckles” was the ringleader, always front and centre at the gate, screeching her demands through the wire and pecking my toes if I crossed the picket line. They wanted more sunshine, more time in the paddock and a return to the fancy, free range poultry mix we had renounced in favour of a cheaper sack of home brand. We caved, and now peace reigns in the chook yard and I can finally enjoy some soft, scrambled eggs topped with chunks of crispy pancetta and spring onion. For brunch or a late supper, it’s delicious with a refreshing glass of Brown Brothers Sauvignon Blanc. The variety has a rightful place on the wine list when looking for a match for light

Sleeping at work could become part of the job
S
leeping on the job may become the norm for Australia’s million plus shiftworkers if research by RMIT sleep expert Dr Melinda Jackson gets the nod. A registered psychologist who specialises in sleep disorders, Jackson said there is mounting evidence that a nap during a night shift can improve production and safety at work. “There is mounting evidence that napping during a shift can improve alertness and help maintain performance in the early hours,’’ Jackson said. “But critical to the beneficial effect of the nap is the length of the sleep and working out the best times to take a nap.’’ Jackson said evidence suggested that fatigue played a role in major disasters like the Chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown in Ukraine, the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger and the grounding of the Exxon Valdez oil tanker shortly after midnight on March 24, 1989. “All of those tragic incidents occurred during the early hours of the morning when the controllers were working through a night shift,’’ she said. Jackson’s on-going sleep research is likely to be paramount to shift workers around the world. It canvasses the consequences of sleep disturbance and shift work on cognition,

mood and brain function. Jackson was part of a team of researchers whose work at the Washington State University revealed how sleep loss impacted on people making critical decisions in real-world situations. The results of those findings – that sleep loss impedes important decisions - are a lesson in industries in which workers such as doctors, soldiers and emergency service workers must make life and death decisions under stress and while deprived of sleep. Dr Jackson said far from being a worry for employers, sleeping on the job is already encouraged in some industries. “In the aviation industry for example, pilots rostered on a long-haul flights have nap opportunities fixed in to their rosters. “In industries like hospitals, doctors on long shifts are actively encouraged to sleep. “And in Australia where long distances are the norm, power naps are to be actively encouraged by people driving long distances.’’ Jackson is a National Health and Medical Research Council Peter Doherty Research Fellow and RMIT Vice-Chancellor’s Senior Research Fellow based in the School of Health Sciences and Health Innovations Research Institute.

When the going gets tough what do you do? WHAT a week or so it has been on the share market, and probably there is more to come yet. I must admit that I was very surprised when last week we saw some $65 billion wiped off the market in a day and I believe because someone panicked on the news coming out of London about Glencore. But I guess those who play the markets were a bit edgy and decided to sell in case it continued. We are indoctrinated that we should never sell as the market only always goes up and that doing anything short term is rash and should be ignored at all cost. Have you thought that if you are selling your long held shares it may be an admission that when

kenclarke11@bigpond.com we bought them we didn’t have a clue what we were doing, that we were wrong and invested in luck rather than knowledge? When the market falls as it has recently, most part-time investors will persist that they know what they are doing, but I keep hearing the experts say that if you are going to dabble in shares then it has to be long term, like 10 years or more. The ‘honest’ broker Marcus
Padley remarked that “it’s the intergalactic excuse for not admitting there is some element of chance in this game and that you can’t make a judgement on the incomplete study of the incomplete information available today and have your judgement persist for the rest of your life�. But we continue to say it will be OK as we will be bailed out by a market that will one day go up again, which it must surely do. Some seven years have passed since we peaked in 2007 and we are still not there yet again. Small investors have certainly been hurt over the last year or so with the likes of Woolworths, IAG, Suncorp and Westfarmers all producing negative total returns. But on the positive side
Qantas and Tabcorp were strong performers and small investors should be looking at stocks with a high probability of them going up over their chosen time scale. Your judgement isn’t required to persist beyond the time of purchase, as it involves playing the odds and is done on the understanding that things will change. You make no mistake when buying stock providing you make your best effort at the time to choose what you think is best. Have a willingness to sell freely if the time comes and don’t let your subconscious get in the way. Selling is like a breath of fresh air if you have a doubt about your investment - so don’t be put off by worrying whether you have
done the right thing, you may even hope that the stock has gone down now you have disposed of it, as you are now out of danger and in control again. The recently concluded profitreporting season has shown just how tough Australian companies are finding it to increase profits in such a sluggish economy. The share market has fallen from almost 6000 points to last week less than 5000 points, which is a fall of some 16 per cent. Before making your investment in a share portfolio, you should set up an action plan of what you want to achieve both short and long term, and stick to your planned outlook whether it be buying or selling.
