ANITA
WHEN you’re climbing some of the world’s highest peaks, battling freezing cold, bracing winds and dizzying heights, one thing is for sure: there is no room for anything but sharp focus on the task at hand. Few people in the North East know that feeling better than Seane Pieper. He “fell in love” with mountaineering after taking a trip to Nepal with a good friend, during his days at Sydney University. And he has been a regular climber ever since. In fact, mountaineering has forever changed his life – from being the way he met his wife, Bronwyn Martin, to challenging him physically and mentally. Seane said mountaineering helps you maintain clarity and focus. “You strip everything back, and it becomes very simple,” he said. “You can see the curve of the earth. “It varies between frightening and euphoric. “The more you focus on just your environment, the happier you can be.” A veteran of over a dozen trips to the Himalayas, Seane is set to follow one of his ultimate dreams next year – tackling the might of Mt Everest, and is set to head to the Himalayas next month as part of his preparation. “I’ve always wanted to do it,” he said, admitting it’s not the faint hearted. continued page |

YOUR GARDEN
GARDEN HINTS
An abundance of vegetables
Cycads
Name: Town:
Hayley Penny Wangaratta
VARIETY: Hayley Penny in her garden.
What’s in your garden: Out the front, we mainly have perennials such roses, lavender and daisies which are quite versatile and brighten up the garden. We have also two dwarf apple trees, a dwarf nectarine tree and weeping cherry tree with the odd strawberry plant squeezed in. Our little backyard is a kitchen garden which provides most of our daily dietary needs, including eggs from our three Australorp chooks. As the yard is small we planted dwarf varieties of pear, orange, plum, lemon, lime, peach, nectarine, blueberry, apple, cherry and apricot trees. All of the garden beds have been filled with an abundance of vegetable plants which are based
on crop rotation. Herbs (basil, rosemary, parsley,oregano) , tea herbs (lemon balm, chamomile, mint) and bee attracting flowers such as lavender and marigolds have been placed around the garden beds. What do you enjoy about gardening: My garden is a little haven. I love wandering around the garden everyday, collecting eggs and harvesting food for our meals. It is so satisfying to know that we grew our own food and my two boys appreciate where their food comes from and it really does taste better. The boys love to get involved, particularly when it comes to picking the raspberries.
Favorite plant/spot in your garden: I have to say that my favourite spot is all of my backyard. I am consistently changing my garden through experimentation so choosing a favorite plant or spot is tricky, I love it all. Water saving/conservation tip: Top up your garden regularly with mulch, it keeps the garden moist and adds nutrients to the soil. I use a mixture of pea straw and litter from the chook run. I also suggest keeping a compost to recycle food/ garden waste that provides good quality soil at little cost. Your tips to keep gardens in top shape: Pull out weeds as you see them, it’s easier to stay on top of them.
One of the oldest plants on the planet is the Cycad. Along with ferns and palms, these plants date back to prehistoric days when dinosaurs roamed the earth, some 300 million years ago. Of the 250 species of Cycads worldwide, about thirty species are endemic to Australia. Most Cycad species are from tropical or subtropical habitats, but they can tolerate periods of drought and do well in most areas of the North East. Cycads resemble palms or treeferns but they are only distantly related to them. They are more closely related to conifers as they bear their seeds in cones. The large divided green leaves emerge from a central crown or whirl on a trunk which can be only a few centimetres to several meters tall depending on the species. Cycads are very slow growing and may live for many decades. They flower when they reach maturity, taking up to ten years, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Cycads bear two different types of flowers depending on the sex of the plant. Plants are either male or female and the only way to tell is when they flower, and the flowers are a golden spectacle.
HORTICULTURALIST
In late spring, when plants normally produce a new set of leaves, male plants may send up a narrow elongated shaped cone. As it grows and matures it is covered in pollen ready to fertilise the female flowers which are borne on separate plants. The female flowers are actually a cluster of tiny yellow miniature flowers which slowly open when fertile then close after pollination. Fertilised flowers develop bright orange to red seed over the next 12 months, in cones, which break open when ready. If you don’t want seeds to develop, these flower heads can be removed. Cycads grow best in a soil that is well draining in full sun to part shade. Cycads are versatile being suitable for planting with ferns and palms, or amongst cordyline, flax and Strelitzia. They are also suitable for growing in containers and pots, although rarely flower in containers. Feed them occasionally and water regularly during hot, dry conditions. Happy gardening.

VETS CORNER

Cruciate ligament injuries IN HIS ELEMENT: Seane Pieper during a climbing expedition, and a planned Himlung climbing route in preparation for Everest, which he will tackle next year.
He recalled one trip in the mid 1990s when his party was caught in a storm and lost two porters in an avalanche in the Himalayas, forcing to the team to “band together to survive”. “It changed the way I view things,” Seane said. “Mountaineering is about how you contribute to the team.” A teacher in nearby Baranduda, Seane shares the lessons he has learned mountaineering with his young students. “I do love showing them all the mountains of the world,” he said, adding that he found his pastime to be a valuable tool to teach students about the wider world. Everest is not his only goal – he would love to tackle Pakistan’s K2 peak someday, if the political situation
allowed it, and also climb in Alaska and Antarctica. Seane said he had not only learned more about himself from the mountains he has climbed – he has also learned from the Nepalese people that have accompanied him on his overseas expeditions. “I’ve learned that less is more, and to really value every day,” he said. “And they really have a strong sense of their environment…they’re very close to it. “They keep things simple and value the environment.” Seane is involved in an event, which includes a book signing, with fellow mountaineer and friend Andrew Lock at Bridge Road Brewery in Beechworth on Thursday, February 28. Bookings are available by calling Seane on (03) 57282828.
CRUCIATE ligament rupture is a common injury in professional athletes, but did you also know it is the leading causes of hindlimb lameness in dogs? The knee joint, also called the stifle, is held together by several large ligaments including the cruciate ligaments which are important in providing joint stability. There are a few different ways that the ligament can become damaged, either suddenly through excessive twisting, of hyperextension of the joint or more slowly through degeneration of the ligament over time. Dogs may have either a complete or partial tear of the cruciate ligament and there is often concurrent injuries to the joint such as cartilage damage. Affected dogs will have a hindlimb lameness and may or may not be weight bearing following the injury. Sometimes the lameness improves only to flare up again following exercise. To diagnose the condition your vet will assess the stability of the joint, attempting to get a ‘drawer sign’ which indicates that the ligament is damaged. Sometimes when they are painful, dogs will tense the muscles in this region making it very difficult to accurately assess the joint,
in such cases an anaesthetic may be required to permit a thorough examination. The treatment of cruciate injuries is dependent on the size, age and activity level of the dog. Surgery is the treatment of choice in most cases and is designed to increase joint stability. There are a range of surgical techniques available, each with their own benefits and pitfalls and selection of technique is made on a case by case basis. In the interim cruciate injuries are managed with anti-inflammatory pain relief and rest. Some small or inactive dogs may be managed like this longer term however the damaged cruciate ligament is unable to repair itself unlike many other tissues in the body. Left untreated the instability in the joint causes an earlier onset of osteoarthritis which itself can be a debilitating condition. Dr Amanda Walker BVSc, Ovens and Kiewa Veterinary Hospital.

BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA BITE SIZE: A typically small Lake Buffalo redfin caught on an orange 40mm Metalhead soft plastic last week. Note the large jighead. A heavier jighead allows for greater casting distance when fishing from the bank and also gets the soft plastic down to where the fish are quicker when fishing in deep water.

Hot weather, few cod THE slow Murray cod fishing has continued across the region over the past week. I have had the odd report here and there of Murray cod being caught in the Ovens, Broken and King rivers, but the reports are not as frequent and great as they were a few weeks back. It is an okay time of year to catch cod, but for now they are still on a bit of a go slow. Do not be disheartened though, as this is not uncommon for this time of the year - January and February have never been my favorite months to catch Murray cod. I made two trips to Lake Buffalo
over the past week chasing redfin. The first trip was more successful than the second, however I caught redfin on both occasions. On the first trip I kept four modest sized redfin and threw back around 10. The four I kept were not big, only my amazing redfin filleting skills allowed me to keep such small fish - please don’t take that comment seriously, it was just a corny way to describe the size of the biggest fish. All redfin have been quite small. I have caught a few trolling with a Halco “crazy deep” diving lure in about 20 feet of water. I have also caught a lot of them
casting a small 40mm Metalhead soft plastic around the grassy flat areas in around 12-15 feet of water, casting from both my kayak and the bank. One trick which has been working well for me, is to troll the Halco “crazy deep” which dives to around 20 feet. I tie a loop in the line about 40cm up from the lure, similar to a paternoster rig. On this loop I rig a small 40mm Metalhead soft plastic (orange has been working best), which swims just up from the lure. Quite often it is the soft plastic that catches the redfin and not the diving lure.

Mr. Turner [M] MR. TURNER explores the last quarter century of the great if eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). The film follows Mr Turner as he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.

NO matter what the age of your children, there is always a way to help teach them good money habits, which in turn gives them a positive grounding for the future. A good way to help teach them early on is to let them pay for small expenses with their pocket or birthday money, which will help them work out how far their money will go. As children grow up, they will have different experiences and require a better understanding of money. Here are some ideas about what your children will need to know at different ages, to help them on the path toward becoming financially responsible, smart adults. Younger, preschool age children should learn that people need money to buy things, and that different coins and notes have different values. They should also be taught that money can be earned by working, and that there is a difference between things you need and things you want. Once they are primary school aged, they can be introduced to more complex financial concepts. You can make a game out of comparing prices and shopping around before making certain purchases, encouraging children to

weigh up price and value. Primary school aged youngsters can also be taught to save up and be patient about waiting to get what they want, as well as learn to make good choices about how they spend their money. It is also a good age to make sure they learn the importance of careful online shopping and not sharing their personal information online. Children can also learn budgeting and priorities by helping with the household shopping list, or assisting in the planning of a household event such as a birthday party. Once they are teenagers, they may be tempted to see credit as an easy fix, and high school aged children need to learn about the importance of not relying on credit, which can lead to accruing high levels of debt and mounting interest costs. It is good to instil them the need to have savings in case of a money emergency, as well as the importance of budgeting. Teenagers working a part time job should be encouraged to check their pay slip to see that they are being paid and taxed correctly. Mobile phone savvy youngsters need to also learn to keep an eye on their data usage and expenses to avoid running out of credit or running up an expensive bills.

WINE TALK
IN MY KITCHEN
Rutherglen Estates
2012 Tempranillo Around $22 AS a household that loves to cook with chillies, we are delighted to have harvested our first, home grown habanero chili pepper. Already huge fans of the jalapeno, this was our first dip into hell fire territory, and the first fruit is a shiny, ruby colored stunner. What I didn’t consider is what we’re actually going to do with it, given that it’s around one hundred times hotter than the eye watering little jalapenos we like to slice and add to pizza. I’ve been told to wear gloves when I cut it and not to let the juice make contact with my skin, as it can burn and blister, and heaven forbid if you inhale or rub your eyes at the wrong time. It was going to go into the paella but I chickened out, so now it’s hanging from a rafter in the kitchen like a kamikaze Christmas bauble.
WITH ANITA McPHERSON I thought about it while enjoying a glass of Rutherglen Estates Tempranillo with my rice dish. A really food-friendly wine, this Tempranillo has a deep, crimson color with the aroma of wild berries and the savory lift of tobacco and bay. It is also full flavored and quite juicy in the mouth, with blackberry fruit and spice capped off by a pleasantly dry edge. Paired with a dish like paella with its saffron and smoky paprika, the wine’s own savory notes are brought to the fore, making it a perfect match. For now I plan to keep my taste buds intact and make the most of these ideal temps. Find out more at www. rutherglenestates.com.au

Apple Slice
THIS DAY IN HISTORY IF 1896 was a good year for snake stories, 1906 was a vintage one for rabbit tales. IT would be wise to remember, when considering the truth of the event to be related, that by 1906 the rabbit was in plague proportions, and even the most wayward marksman found it difficult to avoid killing several rabbits with one shot. The record for one shot stood, in February 1906, at 27. Determined to create a new record, a Mr H Gibson of Gilgrandra went out, and after a degree of preparation, shot 33. He laid a trail of water in the parched countryside, and when the rabbits lined themselves up to drink, he let fly and bagged the record.

AMENDMENTS to Victorian laws dealing with challenges to wills, or testator family maintenance claims, came into effect from January 1 this year. The two significant changes under the legislation are: y amendments only apply to those of us that die after January 1, 2015, and the previous law continues to apply for those who died before this date; and y unlike the previous laws, there are now eligibility restrictions on who can make a claim. A critical question now in bringing or defending a claim is the eligibility of the person making the claim. Under the new law it is a question of “eligible persons� and there are two tiers applicable to make a claim, namey: Tier one – spouses and children: The spouse or domestic partner, a child, stepchild, a person who believes they are a child; and a former spouse or domestic partner who would have been able to commence proceedings under the Family Law Act 1975. Tier Two – Other eligible persons (wholly or partly dependant on the deceased for their proper maintenance and support): a grandchild, a registered caring partner, (a person who at the time of the persons death was in a registered caring relationship with the person within the meaning of the Relationship Act 2008) a spouse or domestic partner of a child of the deceased; and a member of the deceased’s household. So who cannot now challenge? Under the previous laws, there was no eligibility requirement and any person could potentially make a claim. Claims have successfully been made by people who would not fit within the new definition of an ‘eligible person’, including next door neighbors, and by extended members of the family such as nieces, nephews and cousins. By the introduction of the narrower ‘eligible

And of course the time limit for any person proposing to make a claim must still do so within six months of a grant of probate or letters of administration being issued. Getting some advice as soon as possible is critical. This can allow the strength of a claim to be assessed, and avoid missing the time limit to bring a claim. Registering a Relationship To register a relationship you and your partner must complete a domestic relationship registration form which is available on-line from Births, Deaths and marriages Victoria. You can do this if: you are both 18 years of age or older and are in a registrable relationship, you can prove that you are ordinarily resident in Victoria and neither of you is married; or in a relationship that is already registered; or in another relationship that could be registered in Victoria. Make sure you visit your solicitor and discuss with him/her whether you need to make some changes to your own will, but more especially if you happen to be the executor of an estate where the person is of poor health, whether the changes to the Act mean some action is required on your behalf.
