BEECHWORTH’S Lucy Tozer is always ready with a bright smile and a friendly chat for those she meets. But beneath the mother of two’s grin is a passion and determination to help others, spurred on by the tragic loss years ago of her son Cristian from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Though born early, at 28 weeks, Cristian proved to be a fighter and by the time he left hospital, was a healthy seven pounds and growing well. But all that changed three and a half weeks later when Lucy discovered her son was not breathing. “The coroner said he was a fat, healthy baby, and it was a classical SIDS case,” she said. “He just looked like he was sleeping. “That’s when I decided to become a parent support worker for SIDS and Kids.” Through the years Lucy has helped and counselled numerous people going through SIDS bereavement, both in the North East and across Australia. Because much of her work can be done over the phone, she routinely helps people hundreds or thousands of kilometres away. Lucy said “people are really angry to start with”, until they realise that she has been through a similar situation to them. “All of a sudden, they open up,” she said, stressing that the trauma of SIDS can have an continued page |

Winter blues
Pruning tools
THE winter blues normally hits you when it’s been cold and miserable for a while and you have the overwhelming feeling of being cold to the bone, tired, you have no motivation and you just can’t seem to get it together. At this point you realise your body isn’t working at its best; your bowels have slowed down, you are bloated and your exercise routine consists of walking to the car to go to work, or finding the remote for the television. You avoid social gatherings and you just can’t manage to stay on task. For most people the winter blues can hit after a cold, you get sick and then three weeks later you realise that you are still tired, headachy, moody and struggling to get out of bed. Most of us experience a mild drop in mood and feeling like we can’t be bothered at this time of year, but for some the depression type symptoms are debilitating. Naturopaths top 5 tips to reduce Winter Blues 1. Take a mini break: A weekend or even better a week away in sunshine gives you that boost of Vitamin D your body is looking for. Even a daily brisk walk at lunch time will boost your moods; improve energy and your productivity in the afternoon. 2. Hydrate: What do fluids do when they get cold? They slow down their movement and get thick. So keep your warm decaffeinated herbal teas, soups,
THE winter months are when the focus is on pruning. Deciduous plants lose their leaves and go into dormancy. This is the best time to prune as the plants are bare and reveal their branch framework, making pruning easier. So why prune? Pruning is about shaping plants, reducing their height and opening up the centre of the plant to improve air and light circulation. Pruning is about keeping plants healthy by removing any dead, weak or diseased growth and any branches that are rubbing together as these are potential sites for disease and insect attack. Pruning isn’t as complicated as some people think. All you need are the right tools and a little practice. The number one tool used in pruning is secateurs; these are used to cut small to medium stems no thicker than your thumb. There is a wide variety available, including left handed secateurs, ones for small hands and ones for big hands. Long-handled loppers and longhandled secateurs are used for larger and thicker branches. These have extra cutting power; some driven by a three stage ratchet which makes cutting easier. Some have extendable handles giving added reach to higher branches. Another handy tool is the pruning saw. This can be used for cutting through thicker branches.

broths and warm water with lemon or lime in it up. This will help reduce blocked glands and reduce aches, pains and headaches. Aim for a minimum of 1 litre of decaffeinated fluid a day. See our website for recipes or our herbal tea range. 3. Exercise: Keep moving. Hire a treadmill for the winter, get some workout DVDs or youtube Pilates/ yoga classes. Movement increases circulation of fluids. Circulation of fluids= delivery of nutrients and improved moods. 4. Make the most of indoor time: Clean out cupboards, stock the freezer
with bone broths, smoothie packs, casseroles and make ahead meals. Ensure you are utilising your herbs and spices to boost your immunity and improve circulation. Or start a hobby, painting, crafts, reading etc. 5. Herbal medicine: Help boost immunity, improve recovery and resistance to winter bugs as well as improving energy and mood. So if you have or are suffering from a drop in mood or motivation/energy through winter, give us a call and we can help you have the energy you need to get the best out of our beautiful region this winter.

They are usually curved and designed specifically to cut through green wood easily. They are not intended for use on dead wood. Battery operated reciprocating saws have blades suitable for green wood and make the task much easier and quicker. Pole saws are exactly that, saws mounted on top of a pole. They operate manually with a pulley action and cord. They have excellent leverage and come in large and small sizes. These pruners can get into small spaces and cut very thick branches. Electric and battery operated saws are also available. Make sure the tools are clean and sharp. Wash in warm soapy water to remove any build-up of sap. Sharp, clean tools not only make the job of pruning plants easier, they make a cleaner cut which heals faster, reducing the chance of infection and disease. Happy gardening.

Itchy dog? It may be allergies
INSPIRATION: The loss of her baby son Cristian from SIDs inspired Lucy Tozer to help others in the same situation.
ongoing effect, not just on parents but on every member of the family. “When you’re affected by SIDS, you just think you’ve done something to contribute to it and you think it’s going to happen again,� she said. What Lucy has felt herself, and what she tries to communicate to the people she helps, is that although the pain of loss is ever present, there will be happier times down the road. “You have strong days, and bad days,� she said, reflecting on how random things can remind her of Cristian and get her wondering about how he might have grown up. “If I could change Cristian passing away, of course I would, but Cristian gave me a job to help others. “You never forget them, you just learn to live with it.� SIDS and Kids is an Australian community-based organisation dedicated to saving the lives of babies and children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and
childhood and to supporting bereaved families, and more information is available at www.sidsandkids.org. Red Nose Day takes place this year on June 26 and you can visit www. rednoseday.com.au for further information.
Six ways to sleep baby safely and reduce the risk of sudden and unexpected death in infancy: 1. Sleep baby on the back from birth, not on the tummy or side 2. Sleep baby with head and face uncovered 3. Keep baby smoke free before birth and after 4. Provide a safe sleeping environment night and day 5. Sleep baby in their own safe sleeping place in the same room as an adult care-giver for the first six to twelve months 6. Breastfeed baby
AN itchy dog is one of the most common reasons for an owner to take their pet to the vet. There are many things that cause a dog to itch, however, the majority of cases are due to parasites on the skin, infectious agents or an allergy. Dogs can be allergic to many different things which can cause them to itch. This includes parasite bites (like fleas), harmless substances in the environment (eg dust, pollens, moulds) or even something in their diet. What a dog is allergic to is most likely due to their genetics. This means that some dogs have an immune system which behaves differently to other dogs. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic itchy skin disease that occurs when the immune system has an exaggerated response to allergens in the environment. Symptoms you might see in your dog include: t JUDIJOFTT FYDFTTJWF TDSBUDIJOH MJDLJOH chewing, biting; t SFEOFTT PG TLJO t DIBOHFT UP UIF TLJO DPMPVS t UIJDLFOJOH PG UIF TLJO t IBJS MPTT It is a relatively common skin condition and in some populations up to 15 per cent of dogs may be affected.
A diagnosis is made once other more common causes of itchiness have been ruled out (such as parasites or skin infections), as well as based on your dog’s history, age and breed. Unfortunately, atopic dermatitis is not curable and the goal of treatment is to manage the symptoms. There are a number of different treatment options which include anti-itch drugs, skin barrier treatments, immunotherapy and management of environmental allergens. None of these treatments are perfect and all have their advantages and disadvantages. However, it is possible with some intervention to make your dog comfortable so they can live a happy, healthy life. Talk to your local vet if you are worried about your itchy dog.

BOOK
Forever Young by Steven Carroll FOREVER Young is set against the tumultuous period of change and uncertainty that was Australia in 1977, when radicals have become conservatives, idealism is giving way to realism, relationships are falling apart, and Michael is finally coming to accept that he will never be a rock and roll musician. A subtle and graceful exploration of the passage of time and our yearning for the seeming simplicities of the past, and a powerfully moving work. Published by Harper Collins
Busting workout excuses WITH the cold weather and dark mornings curbing our motivation to get out from under the doona and get our bodies moving, it’s hardly surprising that half of Australians put on up to five kilograms over winter. But according to fitness specialist, Guy Leech, using winter as an excuse to ditch your workout routine, just doesn’t cut it. “Winter often provides the perfect excuse for people to skip workouts, or drop their workout routine all together,” he says. “But the reality is, consistency is key, and you can’t build a strong and healthy body by bailing out three months of the year.” Here, “Leechy” slams the most common excuses for skipping winter work outs and replaces them with solutions. 1. It’s too cold to get up. “This is one of my favourite excuses,” says Leech, who suggests making a fool-proof plan to get you out of your warm and cosy bed. “Put a heater in your room and set it on a timer so it starts cranking twenty minutes before you wake up. “Additionally, lay out your workout clothes the night before so you can literally jump out of bed and put them on. “If that fails, recruit an exercise buddy and enforce a ‘no cancellation’ policy between you,” he suggests. 2. I’m hidden under winter woollies, so it doesn’t really matter what I look like. According to Leech this is one of the most dangerous excuses you can make. “This sort of excuse is giving yourself permission ‘to let yourself go’ and besides all the negative health consequences, chances are by the time spring comes around you’ll be very sorry you skipped all those workouts and feasted on all that winter ‘comfort food’,” Guy warns. “As little as 15 minutes of exercise is proven to make a difference to your fitness and wellbeing,” he advises.

“Remember, losing weight is far harder than maintaining your healthy weight, so don’t line yourself up behind the eight ball,” he adds. 3. I don’t want to catch a cold. “This is an old wives tale from way back,” says Leech. “Exercising in the cold doesn’t give you a cold, on the contrary, exercise keeps us fit and healthy, which in turn boosts immunity. “ So you’re not going to be any healthier by skipping your workout.” Leech adds that the winter we experience in Australia is nowhere near as intense as other places around the world where people continue to exercise on a daily basis. 4. It’s dark before and after work, and I don’t like training in the dark. “This one is a doozy,” says Guy. “If you don’t want to train outside in the dark, no worries – there are tonnes of options for you. “Join a gym, go to a local yoga studio, or get on board with an outdoor personal training group,” he says. “If you’re cash strapped and none of those options suit, just grab a buddy and make a plan to meet three mornings or evenings a week to go for a walk or a run.” 5. I’ve got the winter blues and can’t get motivated. Leech admits that winter can often leave us feeling sluggish and a little “down”. “Set yourself a goal for the winter that you can focus on – maybe it’s running the City to Surf in August, doing your first mini triathlon in spring, or maybe it’s just increasing the time you can exercise without stopping by five minutes a week.” Leech says that whatever your goal, having something to work towards gives you a solid reason not to skip your workouts and should get you feeling excited as you move closer to achieving your goal, or indeed, achieve it. “

2013 Rutherglen Shiraz Around $26
WITH BRONWYN INGLETON
WITH ANITA McPHERSON its glossy garnet color. The wine has a lively bouquet of ripe, red fruit with a hint of white pepper and woody spice. The flavor is both complex and satisfying; vibrant berry and cherry fruit spiralling around before coming to a laid back, savoury end, which resonates at length in the mouth. It pairs perfectly with crispy duck breast and seared kangaroo, the fruitiness and earthiness complimenting the richness of a gamey, full flavoured meat. I’d heard good things about this Cofield Shiraz, so I’m glad I had the good sense to try it for myself. Visit the cellar door at Wahgunyah or find out more at www.cofieldwines.com.au.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
North Ovens Road District, 1863 THE North Ovens Road District was proclaimed on June 10, 1863. This followed agitation for the creation of a separate road district specifically for the needs of settlers along the Ovens, as it was considered that the Rutherglen Road District, which stretched from the Ovens to the Murray, was too big. With the declaration of the new road district came the election of a road board, which occurred the following October. Henry Parfitt was elected to be its chairman.
THIS is a one–pot dinner which I’m sure all will appreciate, I know I do. An Indian classic, the rice soaks up the chicken juices. Use a heavy- based casserole to keep it from scorching the bottom. You will, however, need to start this recipe the day before. Method Fry onion in 120ml oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until golden. Transfer to bowl and cool. Dry roast spices, chilli and bay leaf over medium heat then pound with a mortar and pestle or a whiz to a fine powder. Add to onion along with yoghurt, herbs, ginger, garlic and 2 tsp salt and mix well. Add chicken, stir to coat, cover and refrigerate over night to marinate. Spread chicken mixture in the base of your casserole with a tight fitting lid. Bring rice, 20gm butter, remaining oil and enough well salted water to cover by 2cm to the boil in a saucepan. Drain and spread over chicken. If using saffron add to the rice, pour over buttermilk, cover with foil, then the lid. Cook at 180 degrees until rice is fluffy and chicken is cooked, about 1½ hours, stand for 15minutes without removing the lid, then serve hot, scattered with coriander and lemon wedges.

YOU know you’re getting old when your ears start to fail you as often as your mobile service provider. The end of conversations seem to drop out just as you’re about to receive the crucial piece of information, like someone’s name, the address you desperately need to get to, or the punch line, but for some reason you can still hear every irritating word uttered by an idiot on the other side of the street. Twice is about the most you can ask someone to repeat themselves and it’s a major buzz killer, especially when they’ve just said something funny, and even worse if they’re flirting with you. It’s amazing how important each of our senses are when it comes to enjoying food and wine, and applying them all makes for a more well rounded experience.

More surprises in the budget I CAN almost see you scratching your head and wondering just what I am talking about. How many of my readers have read the small print and seen that the Commissioner of Taxation was given a new statutory remedial power in the 2015/2016 budget? I bet that like myself, this came as a surprise, and what do you know about a ‘disallowable instrument’? In the recently released 2015-2016 Federal Budget, the government announced that it will provide the Commissioner of Taxation (commissioner) with a Statutory Remedial Power (SPR). Under the SPR a legislative instrument (called a disallowable instrument) would be made to modify the operation of taxation and superannuation law to ensure there are no unforeseen or unintended outcomes for taxpayers when applying the law.
By KEN CLARKE, WANGARATTA CERTIFIED PRACTICING ACCOUNTANT
kenclarke11@bigpond.com The power can only be used where it has a beneficial outcome for affected taxpayers, and where the exercise of power is not inconsistent with the purpose or object of the law. So what is a disallowable instrument? An act of parliament may delegate to the executive government (It broadly refers to the arm of government responsible for carrying out or administrating laws enacted by the legislature. It is also used in relation to ministers from the governing party who make policy decisions and are responsible for the
administration of government) the power to make delegated legislation. Delegated legislation consists of detailed rules and regulations which supplement primary legislation – for example the Income Tax Assessment Acts or the Tax Administration Act, and has the same legal force as primary acts. Not surprisingly, delegated legislation is not passed directly by parliament, but may, however, be ‘disallowed’ by either house of parliament. Parliament’s power to ‘disallow’ delegated legislation came from the legislative Instruments Act 2003. Disallowable instruments must be tabled in parliament within six sitting days after registration, and are open to parliament to veto for a period of up to 15 sitting days. If parliament disagrees with the instrument, then it must be disallowed.
of us that may have an unresolved issue with the Commissioner of Taxation. This new legislation introduced will have far reaching ramifications in the business world. So how do we keep the commissioner in check? The SRP will contain the requirement that it can only be used where there is a beneficial outcome for taxpayers and this is certainly a change of direction. The commissioner’s action must also have “no more than a negligible revenue impact�. My advice is if you are a business operator, you should think seriously about joining your industry association, as I am sure you don’t wish to spend time on reading up all the government legislation and this is a good way of keeping up to date as most have regular newsletters.

A motion to disallow must be resolved within 15 sitting days after notice is given otherwise the instrument is deemed to have been disallowed. So you will be saying to yourself “What does this mean to me�? It will mean the SRP will provide a useful way for the commissioner to deal with unforeseen or unintended outcomes of a taxation or superannuation law. It will do this by reducing uncertainty where there are small technical issues, and will assist in administration of the law, ensuring that achieves its intended purpose and not an anomalous outcome. Overall, the changes aim to reduce the regulatory burden that currently exists for individual and business taxpayers. As we get toward the end of the financial year, there is light at the end of the tunnel I believe for those
