Bringing the Beechworth Biennale to life
MORE support is needed to bring the Beechworth Biennale to life.
Last year, Nina Machielse Hunt hosted a unique art exhibition, the Beechworth Contemporary Art Award, financed primarily through her art business, the Beechworth Contemporary Art Space, a gallery based in Beechworth.
Moving forward, Ms Machielse Hunt now has plans to create an even bigger regional art event which will be held every two years in Beechworth.
Renamed the Beechworth Biennale, an incorporated committee was formed and
By CHLOE JAENICKE
together this passionate and supportive team will present the event.
“The event is really one big exhibition, with artworks placed outdoors and at unexpected and surprising exhibition sites,” Ms Machielse Hunt said.
Artists from across Australia are invited to submit a proposal to participate, and a selection panel of art professionals will confirm the artwork from the submissions received.

Each exhibiting artist will receive $1000 to contribute to their participation costs.
Ms Machielse Hunt instigated the event after COVID lockdowns, saying she felt that contemporary art was a great way to bring people together, to entertain and to educate.
“I live on a farm just on the outskirts of Beechworth and felt the pressures our community had been under post fires and during the pandemic isolation and I just wanted to bring people together and celebrate the uniqueness of our town,” she said.
The aim of the event is to showcase Beechworth and create more opportunity for

arts and culture to flourish in the regions.
“It will mean the town of Beechworth can be seen in new and exciting ways, known for Ned Kelly, beer and bikes and it’s kind of nice to reinterpret the familiar,” Ms Machielse Hunt said.
“One might normally have to travel to an urban city to see a festival or a contemporary art exhibition.
“Here in country Victoria we do have the capacity to host such an event and it’s really a great opportunity to bring something special to our region.”

◆ EXPERIENCED COMMITTEE: Beverley Smith, Jamie Kronborg, Nina Machielse Hunt, Sally Huguenin, Terrence Batt and Lisa Pidutti are all a part of the committee putting together the 2024 Beechworth Biennale.
Cranial cruciate ligament disease
THE cranial cruciate ligament or as most people know it as, from footballer and netballers tearing them, is the ACL.
This ligament is located in the knee.
Dogs have very similar bone anatomy to us; the hind limbs have very similar structured knee joints and front limbs have very similar structure elbow joint.
The function of the cranial cruciate ligament is to stop the tibia (lower leg bone) moving forward in relation to the humerus (upper leg bone).
Dogs differ to humans and cats in that when a cruciate ligament tear occurs it is generally due to a degeneration of the ligament resulting in repeated small tears over time while walking.
Other animals generally tear the ligament during a high impact incident such as stopping suddenly when running; think of a netballer catching a ball.
The underlying cause of the degeneration in dogs is not fully understood but is a multifactorial process.
Genetic disposition plays an important role and explains why some breeds such as Labradors tear their cruciate more than others, such as greyhounds.
A well-established underlying cause of degeneration of the ligament is the shape of the top of the tibia in dog.
In dogs the weight bearing surface tilts backward so when they bear weight the tibia is pushed
with With Felix DeNatris from Wangaratta Veterinary Clinic
forward with each step.
This is not the case with other animals such as cats, cattle, horses.
Diagnosis of a tear can be a little tricky especially when there are partial or incomplete tears.
Dogs will vary from intermittent mild lameness especially after exercise, to consistently non-weight bearing lame.
If you are concerned, seek advice for your vet.
They will most likely want to examine your dog both awake and under heavy sedation or general anesthetic to perform some manipulative diagnostic tests.
As well as take some x-rays to confirm diagnosis.
Treatment for cruciate ligament rupture can vary a lot dependant on age, breed, size, and activity level.
Most often surgery will be recommended, as this provides the best longterm results and maintenance of function.
There are quite a few different surgeries available that can place artificial ligaments or restructure the shape of the bone to compensate of the loss of the ligament function.
Again, your vet will provide different options for different dogs taking into account age, breed, size etc.
If you are worried your dog might have cranial cruciate ligament disease, please contact your vet.
◆ LIGAMENT TEARS: Unlike humans or cats, cranial cruciate ligament tears occur due to degeneration of the ligament over time.
◆ FUN AT FALLS CREEK: There are plenty of colourful activities this weekend at Falls Creek making it the perfect time to visit.
A colourful weekend at the snow
CHICKS Who Shred will be back on the slopes this Saturday at Falls Creek.
Falls Creek will also be hosting the Summit Masters, a competition in both giant slalom on Saturday and bumps on Sunday.
The resort is also going back in time this weekend with a retro theme and encourage visitors to pull on their colourful vintage jackets, pants and jumpsuits to celebrate.
Falls Creek started this week with an average snow depth of 53cm, with most ski lifts open and all the snow activities, except tobogganing at Windy Corner, open.
Snow showers are expected this weekend.
Mt Hotham started the week with an average of 47cm across the mountain with snow showers expected later in the week.
The fireworks show will also be on once again tonight for all to enjoy.
Night skiing and snowboarding will also be taking place every Wednesday and Saturday.
At Dinner Plain, both the Cobrunga ski slope and Peashooter toboggan slope are currently closed as they await more snow.

This Day in History, 1917
LONG serving Wangaratta borough councillor, George Maxwell, retired on this day, 106 years ago. Maxwell, who was a surveyor by profession, but was perhaps better known for founding the Wangaratta Chronicle in 1884, had seen many changes to Wangaratta over his period as councillor. When he joined the council, Wangaratta’s population was only 1850.
At the turn of the century, Wangaratta still had only one street, Murphy Street, properly made with channels and gutters.
When he retired on this day in 1917, Wangaratta’s population had grown to 4000. Maxwell, who had been born in Kyneton in 1854, died in Melbourne in 1946.

◆ IMPORTANT STORIES: Win a book pack containing these four novels for teenagers from Australian authors.
Novels tell Aussie stories
THERE has probably never been a better time to be a keen teenage reader, considering the diverse range of stories being told in young adult (YA) fiction at the moment.
Of course, there is still a long way to go to ensure all young people have access to books in which they can see themselves authentically represented and feel a personal connection to main characters, but it does feel as if progress is being made.
Increasing diversity not only helps young people find literature with which they can identify, but encourages them to share their own stories.
And in the best tradition of storytelling, it also allows readers to view cultures and experiences different from their own.
This week we are giving away a book pack from Allen & Unwin which highlights some of the diverse stories which have emerged in the Australian YA market recently.
‘My Spare Heart’ by Jared Thomas tells the story of 17-year-old Phoebe after the break-up of her non-Indigenous mother and Aboriginal father.
She moves to a sleepy country town to live with her dad and his new girlfriend, in what feels like another world from the city life and her friends.
Phoebe starts to settle in by finding a place on the local basketball team, but the effect of her mum’s drinking starts to take its toll.
“One of the inspirations for writing the book was dispelling the myths regarding Aboriginal people and alcohol abuse, showing that the problem is a broad one,” Thomas, a Nukunu person of the Southern Flinders Ranges, said.
‘Two Can Play That Game’ is a romantic comedy from Asian-Australian author Leanne
Yong, which centres on keen gamers Sam Khoo and Jaysen Chua, as they compete for a rare ticket to a game design workshop. The pair bond over indie games while dealing with teenage life from an Asian perspective.
In ‘We Could Be Something’ by GreekAustralian author Will Kostakis, the lives of main characters Harvey and Sotiris converge in a part coming-out story, part falling-in-love story, part relationship breakdown story, and part extended Greek family story.
Then there’s ‘We Didn’t Think It Through’, a novel from Yuin man Gary Lonesborough, author of the award-winning ‘The Boy From the Mish’.
Main character Jamie is an Aboriginal kid making his way through adolescence, who finds himself in the youth justice system following a car theft. Lonesborough partdedicated the book to “all the young First Nations people like Jamie, whose stories are never heard”.
If you would like to own these books about diverse Australian experiences, ‘My Spare Heart’ by Jared Thomas, ‘Two Can Play That Game’ by Leanne Yong, ‘We Could Be Something’ by Will Kostakis, and ‘We Didn’t Think It Through’ by Gary Lonsborough (all RRP $19.99), simply email skerwin@nemedia.com.au to be in the running.

Bringing Beechworth Biennale to life
■ From page 1
This year, Ms Machielse Hunt said she is expecting more interest and has even increased the number of exhibition sites.
The event is open to all Australian artists to choose one of the sites and submit a proposal for their art to be displayed there.
Each of the sites are non- traditional exhibition sites, not set indoors in a traditional gallery space.
The various sites showcase the uniqueness of the town, such as the Old Beechworth Gaol and the old Asylum at Mayday Hills.
“We’re looking for contemporary art proposals, so a combination of traditional and non-traditional materials like sculptures, projections and infl atable installations,” Ms Machielse Hunt said.
“They all have to be site specifi c, so artists will creatively respond in physical ways to the site, conceptually or
they might respond to the history of the site or even suggest a future of the site.”
So far, Ms Machielse Hunt said they have had around 40 people show an interest in volunteering.
She is hoping that since next year’s event takes place earlier in the year instead of in winter, it will entice more people to join and make it a more inclusive event.
For the 2024 event, Ms Machielse Hunt said the committee is implementing new strategies to encourage a more diverse audience.
“We’re targeting different groups, and writing a school program to entice school groups to come along too” she said.
“We’re also training up different tour guides, including a youth tour guide, an Auslan tour guide and a First Nations tour guide.”
Ms Machielse Hunt said the support from volunteers is important but so are
FEATURE STORY
the financial and in-kind sponsors. She said fi nancial support is also essential to ensure the event stays free and can be presented every two years and grow.
The Beechworth Biennale committee is hoping to secure a major benefactor or be successful with a major grant opportunity.
“We want to encourage people to get involved because whether it’s an in- kind donation or monetary or even if you would like to man an art site, the whole regional community benefi ts,” said Ms Machielse Hunt.
Art entries for the Beechworth Biennale have opened and will close on October 2 with the fi ve-day event taking place in March 2024.
If you are interested in volunteering or sponsoring the event, email beechworthbiennale@gmail.com, or to submit an artwork proposal visit https://beechworthbiennale.com.au/ beechworth-biennale-2024/.

◆ ENHANCE YOUR HEALTH: Improving your health is about more than your diet but also exercise, sleep, and getting enough sunshine.
Great health - The seven steps that will help to optimise your health
A LOT of times people think healthy lifestyles are about food only.
It’s not just food, it’s so much more than that.
Here are seven of these principles that I believe will help you feel better and achieve great health.
Air: We need oxygen to survive - we may as well get as much as we can when we breathe.
Take a deep breath in … let it out.
Take a deep breath in … let it out.
Breathing in deeply through the nose, into the belly and out through the mouth really creates a healthy way of breathing.
It will oxygenate your body, make your body vital, and alkalize your body as well.
Water: Hydration - most of us need two litres of water every day - even in the winter. This will hydrate your digestive system and your body.
Start your day with a few cups of water and add some lemon juice - you will be ready to go for the day and you will probably have a good bowel motion too.
Sunshine: Get out into the sun for 20-30 minutes. Improves our Vitamin D stores and our immunity.
Do some stretching, walking or other exercise in the sun each day.
Exercise: Get the body moving.
Find a sport or some kind of exercise that you love doing and do it.
Bare minimum, you should be walking at least 20-30 minutes most days.
Whole Foods: Complete foods. This means the food hasn’t been overcooked, hasn’t been processed and hasn’t had stuff added to it – artificial sweeteners, colours and hydrogenated oil.
An apple or a cucumber are examples of whole foods - try to make whole foods over 50 per cent of your diet.
Passion and Relationships: Have passion in your life and share that passion with other people. Get out there. Spend time with your loved ones and people who make you feel good just by being around them.
Sleep: Get some good, quality sleep – at least eight hours a night to recharge your batteries. That’s where we get our energy from.
