SEVEN years after it first started, Wangaratta’s Heartbeat community health program continues to change the lives of people involved with it. Heartbeat is a collaborative community program, and Wangaratta West Primary School teacher Georgina Wills, local physiotherapist Donna Samon, and occupational therapist Stacey Manfield of Northeast Health Wangaratta first piloted the program in 2010. It consists of six hourly sessions hosted by the school during most school terms, with visiting participants, who have been through brain injuries or strokes, learning to play African drums guided by a music teacher and paired with selected students. The aim is to improve physical and mental function in an enjoyable way, while helping the clients to re-engage with their local community. Depending on numbers, clients can choose to repeat the program if they feel they are still benefiting. Georgina said everyone involved benefits from the program. “Students display a natural empathy and an instinctive ability to support the learning of their adult partner,” she said. “They adapt their playing and the rhythms to enable their partner to participate to their fullest potential, while at the same time gently challenging them to move outside their comfort zone and achieve their therapeutic goals. “The connection forged between the student and adult is extraordinary. “We believe that this is what makes the group so unique and successful.” She said adult participants also gain confidence and motivation by taking part in the classes and sometimes even form friendships with their student mentor. continued page |

MONEY MATTERS
GARDEN HINTS
Taking time to get your tax right you are responsible for the claims you make. 2. Get your paper work in order Having to keep, or maybe find, all your records to prepare your tax return can be a hassle. The ATO app myDeductions tool makes it easier and more convenient to keep records of your expenses and income all in one place. At tax time, you can upload your data into myTax to pre-fill your tax return. If lodging with an agent, you can also email the data directly to them. 3. Include all of your income Don’t forget about your second job or money earned from the sharing economy. You must report all income, including pay from second jobs, foreign income, bank interest and any government payments. Lodging before pre-fill is the leading cause of taxpayers incorrectly declaring income. 4. Know what you can claim Remember the three golden rules for claiming a deduction for a work-related expense: t :PV NVTU IBWF TQFOU UIF NPOFZ yourself and not have been reimbursed; t *U NVTU CF EJSFDUMZ SFMBUFE UP FBSOJOH your income; t :PV NVTU IBWF B SFDPSE UP QSPWF JU If an expense was for both work and private purposes, you can only claim a deduction for the work-related portion. 5. Don’t panic if you make a mistake It’s not the end of the world if you report something incorrectly on your tax return. If you make a mistake or forget to include something, it’s easy to lodge an amendment online.

Fruit tree winter pruning YES, it’s cold and wet, but rug up, sharpen the tools and get outside for a winter workout. Mid-winter is the time to prune deciduous fruit trees. Some fruit trees can be given a light prune after fruiting in summer, but the main prune is done this time of the year when the tree is dormant and bare of leaves. The bare branches make it easier to see the skeleton of the tree when pruning. Pruning is done for a variety of reasons but mainly to keep them looking attractive and productive. They will still produce some fruit without pruning but will be less productive. Peaches, nectarines and apricots need to be pruned hard every year to stimulate new growth which bears the fruit. In the first four years formative pruning is done to shape the framework of the tree. This framework should be an open vase shape with five to seven strong branches. This opens up the centre allowing in air and light needed for optimum bud formation, pollination and fruit set.

When pruning, look for an outward facing bud and cut just above it on an angle so that the water runs off the bud. Start by removing any branches that are damaged or diseased, any that cross each other or rub against each other or any growing the wrong way. Prune out any branches growing in the centre, any suckers around the trunk and low branches under one metre. Upwards growing branches should be pruned to a manageable height, around 22.5 metres, so that any work or fruit picking can be done without using a ladder. More established trees still need to be pruned in a similar way to maintain the vase shape and also to reduce the height of the trees so fruit is produced at an easy to reach level when harvesting. After pruning, spray fruit trees with a copper based spray to eliminate any fungal diseases lying dormant in the bark. Brave the cold now and you will be rewarded in the summer with delicious home grown fruit. Happy gardening.

AS tax time gets under way, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is reminding taxpayers to take their time to get it right. We know that some taxpayers like to get in early and lodge in the first month of tax time, but our analysis shows that if you lodge in July, you’re far more likely to make a mistake by leaving out some of your income,” Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson said. “By mid-August we have pre-filled most of the data from employers, banks, government agencies and other third parties. “Waiting until this information is available will help you avoid mistakes.” Ms Anderson said taxpayers don’t need to get into a rush to lodge their tax returns early. People can choose to lodge using the ATO’s online lodgment tool myTax, or they can lodge with a registered tax agent. For more information on how to lodge, visit ato.gov.au/lodgeonline and to find out about myDeductions, visit ato.gov.au/ mydeductions. Top tips to get your tax right 1. Decide how to lodge by October 31 You can lodge on your own using myTax or by using a registered tax agent. If you are preparing your own tax return, you can get a head start by making sure you have your myGov login details ready. If you plan to use an agent, you need to be on their lodgement list by October 31. You can make sure they are registered by visiting tpb.gov.au. Whichever way you choose to lodge,

Holiday pets WITH the school holidays upon us, some of you may have found yourself in the position of figuring out the best way to look after your pet when you go away. Will they go to a boarding kennel, get in a pet sitter or pack their bag and come with you? Here are a few hints that will hopefully make holiday times run a little smoother for everyone. Whatever option you decide is best for you and your furry family member, be sure to organise early. If you are going into a kennel in a peak holiday time, book ahead so you don’t miss out. Make sure you’ve got your cat or dog’s vaccinations up to date, and a flea and worm treatment is a good idea too. It is also important to have your microchip details current, and a pet name tag with your phone number is a great idea. There are many pet services out there from dog walking to private pet sitting, having a friend house and pet sit, taking your dog to a family members’ house, or simply having the neighbour pop round . If you’re going with one of these options, try and have some meet and greets with the person and
your pet first. Have clear instructions for where to find food and water bowls, how much to feed and when. Provide contact numbers for yourself, an alternative contact and your vet, and supply enough medications and appropriate food if your pet is on anything specific. Have a run through showing your temporary pet carer where to find everything, and get them to spend time with your pet, so that everyone is comfortable. Can’t bear the thought of days without seeing your furry friend? Then take them with you. In this case, make sure where ever you are travelling to will be pet friendly. If your pet hasn’t travelled before, or doesn’t travel well, spending time getting them used to the car will be well worth the effort. For cats and dogs that will be travelling in a crate, have that set up inside or in the backyard weeks or months before you travel. Have some familiar bedding in the crate or carry cage, and start out by putting little treats near the
crate at first, and then inside so that your pet can get in, have the treat and leave. Gradually work up to have your pet spend short amounts of time in the crate, first with the door open (and lots of treats - whether it’s food or a favourite toy) then with the door closed. If your pet is distressed, stop and take a step back in the process to give them more time at the previous step. The same goes for the car, allow them to get used to it with a gradual introduction. Start out by just letting them jump into a stationary, turned off car with the door open, and provide their favourite treat or toy. Next step close the door, and after your dog is comfortable with that the car can be turned on for a short while. Work up gradually to short drives, then longer drives if your pet is calm and comfortable. When you are travelling make sure to pack food and water bowls, and do regular stops for toilet breaks, a quick walk and a drink of water for your pet. Happy travelling. Julia Smith, veterinarian

◆ RHYTHM OF LIFE: The Heartbeat program (above) was a research project for locally based CSU students Sheila Smith and Abby Mathewson (inset).
Wangaratta West Primary School grade six student Campbell Timms and grade five student Zoe Dineen have been involved in the school’s drumming group from a young age and have participated in Heartbeat for two years. Campbell said he enjoyed being able to help others through the program. “We can see the improvement as (the participants) go through the program,” he said. “It’s nice to see people enjoying themselves,” Zoe added. The program recently received wider attention, with two locally based women studying Allied Health degrees at Charles Sturt University (CSU) Albury-Wodonga presenting their Honours research at the Hume Region Health Conference in Yarrawonga, each taking home awards for their presentation. Occupational therapy student, Wangaratta’s Abby Mathewson won Most Outstanding First Time Presentation, and Rutherglen based physiotherapy student Sheila Smith won Most Outstanding Presentation overall. The focus of both research projects was Wangaratta’s Heartbeat drumming program for people who have experienced brain injury.
Sheila said she loved sharing their research into what helps motivation from the perspective of people recovering from stroke. “I hope our research prompts other health professionals to consider how they can create motivational, community-based rehabilitation programs like Heartbeat,” she said. “From Heartbeat, I think I’ve learnt the importance of trying to make rehabilitation fun for my future clients.” Abby said her research was conducted as a means of appreciating Heartbeat as a successful and innovative program for neurological rehabilitation. “I learnt the importance of neurological rehabilitation being incorporated within the local community,” she said. “I love that Heartbeat is a safe and supportive community environment that can act as a stepping stone to participation and engagement within the broader community for an individual following the event and effect of a brain injury. “I hope to use this experience, in combination with my Bachelor of Occupational Therapy, to pursue a career working in neurological rehabilitation when I graduate at the end of this year.”

How to use naturopathy to prepare for seasonal change
Baby Driver (MA15+) A TALENTED, young getaway driver (Ansel Elgort) relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. When he meets the girl of his dreams (Lily James), Baby sees a chance to ditch his criminal life, but after being coerced into working for a crime boss (Kevin Spacey), he must face the music when a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom.
CHANGE of season is all about recalibrating your diet and natural medicine cupboard in preparation for common body changes. It is winter, so yes, you might be feeling cold and tired and a little weak. That’s your body’s reminder to you to slow, hibernate, look inward, decline invitations, and draw your energy down into your roots. Just like the plants and animals do. That’s how we have the vitality to blossom when the spring comes. And if the going gets too tough - we are here for you. Book in to support your immune system, your moods and your energy. Diet: think cinnamon on porridge, garlic, chilli, parsley, turmeric etc in casseroles, bone broths etc. Combine with a fresh serve of mini salad or steamed brassica vegies or a freshly squeezed juice.

Gapsted Wines
2015 Ballerina Canopy Chardonnay Around $25
WITH ANITA McPHERSON It has a lovely weight, with the nutty peach flavour lingering long after the crisp dry finish. It’s a wine Chardonnay fans will really enjoy and is great with nothing more than conversation, although it also pairs well with chicken, seafood or a lazy, homemade antipasto platter. That’s a good thing when everyone is feeling too relaxed and wrinkled to even leave the centre. I’ll save the detoxification for another day.

THIS dish delivers perfectly cooked, moist and delicious fish due to its tangy yoghurt marinade. Served with baked sweet potato chips and greens, it makes a great mid-week meal. For more recipes like this, see www. legendairy.com.au. Method Cut sweet potatoes in chunky chips. Arrange in a single layer on a baking paper lined oven tray and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 220°C for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, turn chips over and sprinkle with parmesan then make some space to fit the salmon on the tray. Combine yoghurt, lemon, paprika and season to taste. Spoon half of the mix over the salmon and toss to coat. Reserve remaining half for dressing. Place salmon on the tray with chips. Reduce oven to 200°C and bake

WHILE it’s great to get together with old friends to celebrate a birthday, it’s not so crash hot when the birthday girl chooses a mineral spa for her big event. The idea of plunging into a hot bath is fine in the middle of winter, but you’re usually on your own and indoors, not braving the great outdoors in a warm pool with every man and his dog. The mineralised water is meant to be full of stimulating benefits that will relieve a myriad of aches and pains and relax the soul, but all I can think about is what everybody else might have done in it. I’d rather keep the soaking to myself and relax the soul post-spa session with the girls over a bottle of Gapsted Wines Chardonnay. The wine has a golden straw colour and the aroma of stone fruit and honey cream.

I’VE recently been re-reading ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’ series by Douglas Adams. It’s a wholly remarkable book, and I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it already. And if you have read it already, why not readily read it again? In honour of ‘Deep Thought’, the giant super-computer created by pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent mice in order to solve the ultimate question of ‘Life, the Universe, and everything’, I’ve collected forty-two mostly harmless scientific facts you can annoy your friends, family or unsuspecting strangers with. Enjoy. 1) Collectively speaking, humans have spent longer playing World of Warcraft (over 6 million years) than we have existed as a species separate from chimpanzees. 2) It takes 8 minutes 17 seconds for light to travel from the Sun’s surface to the Earth. 3) The air at the summit of Mount Everest, 29,029 feet is only a third as thick as the air at sea level. 4) One million, million, million, million, millionth of a second after the Big Bang the Universe was the size of a …pea. 5) DNA was first discovered in 1869 by Swiss Friedrich Mieschler. 6) The molecular structure of DNA was first determined by Watson and Crick in 1953. 7)The first synthetic human chromosome was constructed by US
