WINE TALK WITH

LAST century, in times of world turmoil, anxious women awaiting news of loved ones, or travelling soldiers wanting to reassure their partners and families, would often send silk or textile postcards to each other. The intricately stitched declarations of love would be treasured by the recipient and often carried everywhere, and the creation of the pieces was a source of income for many women struggling to cope in war torn countries. A century after World War 1, local stitchers and others from across Victoria and South Australia have used the format to explore the concept of war and conflict in a new exhibition as part of Wangaratta’s upcoming Stitched Up Textile Festival. It’s a triumph for June Brown of Milawa, who came up with the concept that a group of textile artists could make a postcard a month for 12 months reflecting on the Anzac commemorations and display them collectively during the festival. Word spread, and the concept resonated with more than 40 different textile artists. “The conditions were simple – the postcard sized art could reflect on any war or peacekeeping mission over the last 100 years and wasn’t restricted to an Australian perspective,” said project coordinator Kathy Beilby. “Many of the participants researched their own family histories while others took a general view.” continued page |

3. Movement: you don’t have to be a gym junkie.. simply get out and walk. Improved blood flow increases oxygenation of the blood and aids in removing toxins and brings fresh blood to the surface to be used by your skin. Follow sweaty exercise with a shower to wash off topical grit and grime. 4. Refined sugar: causes inflammation of the skin. This is found in refined carbohydrate foods such as pastries, breads, biscuits, pasta, etc. 5. Routine: find a skin care routine that works for you. Avoid drying products

WINTER is the season for planting deciduous bare rooted fruit trees, ornamental trees, vines and roses. Buying and planting at this time of the year is not only cheaper, but gives the plants plenty of time to establish before the summer heat. Bare rooted plants are available during June, July and August. Production nurseries grow the plants in the ground and during their winter dormancy, the plants are dug up and the soil is removed from around the roots, hence the term bare rooted. They are then transported to retail nurseries ready for sale. The plants are often ‘heeled’ in holding beds with their roots covered with sand or sawdust to keep the roots moist. Bare rooted roses are commonly packaged in plastic bags filled with sawdust or other moisture holding material to prevent the roots drying out. Get in early to select the best looking plants. Choose ones with a good, balanced branch structure, a neat graft and no obvious physical damage. Before planting remove any damaged roots and prune the branches to match the root size. Prune them to about 30 centimetres

from the main trunk, just above an outwards facing bud. Prepare the planting hole by digging in some compost or manure, Blood and Bone or pelletised chook poo like Dynamic Lifter. Improve clay soil by adding gypsum. Dig a shallow hole twice as wide as the root ball and mound a pile of soil at the base of the hole. Gently spread the roots out over the mound keeping the soil level the same as when the plant was originally in the ground. Look closely at the base of the stem and a difference in colour will indicate the depth it was planted at. Backfill gently, then water well to settle the soil and eliminate any air pockets. Do not stomp on the soil around the base as this may damage the roots. Finally, don’t let the soil dry out, or the growing roots will suffer. Spread mulch around the base of the plant and fertilise when the new spring growth appears. Happy gardening.

OUR skin is our largest organ and needs a constant supply of lymphatic fluid, and blood flow to nourish it. Its health is influenced by hormones, immunity, toxicity and emotions. Our skin is a protective layer that aids our body in fluid regulation, detoxification and vitamin D synthesis, as well as protecting us against infections. Time spent under heaters and cold winter winds dehydrates and strips these protective layers of the skin. You might not think of food when you look in the mirror and see acne, cold sores, eczema, psoriasis or dandruff, but what you put in your mouth has a big effect on this massive organ. Naturopaths’ top 5 tips for healthy skin: 1. Healthy oils: eliminate deep fried, carbohydrate laden foods. Consume foods such as avocado, nuts and seeds, salmon and other oily fish, oils such as walnut, olive etc to hydrate you skin and regulate sebum or oil production. 2. Water: removes toxins from your body and lymph system to encourage radiant glowing skin. Dry skin indicates that you are dry on the inside too.

VETS CORNER
1
The eyes have it
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP HONOURED: Local woman June Brown completed this textile postcard in memory of Major Ida Madge Brown, who used her nursing skills on many home fronts. HOMELAND: A textile postcard from Wangaratta’s Dawn Fleet depicting the Turkish, New Zealand and Australian flags at Anzac Cove. HOME: Kathy Beilby created this card using free motion machine embroidery, depicting the trainees who worked in an ammunition factory during World War II.
Postcards were submitted under a number of themes, from Servicemen and Women, to Home, Memories, and more. It was a project that resonated with Ms Beilby, particularly when she was able to find out more about the WW2 experiences of her parents. Her father was a marine engineer in the Merchant Navy, while her mother and aunt were among trainees who worked in a Scottish ammunitions factory during the war. “While researching for the project I learned that Aberdeen was one of the most bombed cities in the UK during WW2 and earned the nickname ‘Siren City’,” she said. “I imagined the fear and heartache my mother must have felt and…of my father, away at sea in the Merchant Navy, hearing of the bombings and not knowing if his loved ones had survived or not.
“The project has been an opportunity for me to learn more about my parents’ experience of war. “They survived and married during the war and migrated to Australia in 1954…both have passed away and never spoke about it much – I wish I knew more. “There’s also a sense of pride that they did their best, and their bit.” Ms Beilby said the works in the exhibition were physical examples of textile artists’ ingenuity as well as their creativity, and many incorporated cherished memorabilia including family heirloom linen. She said the project has uncovered many interesting stories, including that of a wallet that stopped a bullet, to cheeky wartime cartoon drawings and even uncles bringing back souvenirs such as an exotic leather wallet from Palestine in WW2.
“Everyone’s got a story and has been touched by war,” Ms Beilby said. “It’s been an opportunity for people to think about the perils of war, dwell on the sadness and be proud of the achievements.” The Connecting Threads to Postcards exhibition will be held at the Bainz Gallery at the Wangaratta Library between July 4-31, with entry by gold coin donation and opening hours 10am-4pm Saturday/Sunday and 9.30am-6pm Monday/Friday. There will be a talk on the exhibit on July 8 in the community room of the Wangaratta Library between 5.307.30pm, hosted by Kerryn Taylor, with exhibit participants also invited to talk. More information is available on www.stitchedupfestival.com.
SOME of the most common eye problems encountered in day to day veterinary practice include trauma (either from a penetrating injury or from another animal), foreign bodies and entropion (rolling in of the upper or lower eyelid so that the eyelashes are in contact with and rub on the surface of the eye). Eyes have a very complex structure and seemingly minor injuries or conditions can rapidly progress and cause permanent damage to the eye or even cause permanent blindness in as little as 24 hours if appropriate treatment is not undertaken. One such example is a condition called glaucoma – simply meaning increased pressure within the eye. This increased pressure is generally caused when the normal outflow of fluid within the eye is blocked by something. The build-up of fluid causes the pressure inside the eye to increase, which presses on the optic nerve (the nerve responsible for sight) and can cause irreversible damage and blindness. This is an emergency condition
which causes blindness within 2448 hours without treatment. One possible common cause of glaucoma is inflammation within the eye, which can be caused by injuries or even infections. Signs to look for that indicate you should book an appointment with your veterinarian include a painful eye (red and squinty), if the eye is a cloudy, milky colour, if there are any ulcers which look like dents on the surface of the eye, or if the eye has rapidly changed in appearance. Luckily, most of these more severe consequences can be easily avoided with prompt diagnosis and treatment. Rebecca Hembrow, BSc, BVMS., Ovens and Kiewa Veterinary Hospital

1. FOCUS (MA15+) Drama. Stars: Will Smith, Margot Robbie.
ACCORDING to the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), the majority of people are not getting their recommended daily allowances of calcium and vitamin D. In fact, worldwide, an estimated 1 billion people have inadequate levels of vitamin D in their blood, and deficiencies can be found in all ethnicities and age groups. Chronic untreated calcium deficiency can have many severe consequences, including osteopenia and osteoporosis. Osteoporosis has been defined as ‘a paediatric disease with geriatric consequences’, emphasising that bone health is shaped very early in life; in fact in the womb. Poor nutritional status of the mother can impact on the optimal growth of the baby’s skeleton. It has been associated with reduced adult bone mineral content at peak bone mass and in later life, as well as increased risk of hip fracture. Beyond this, childhood and adolescence is a critical time for bone building as during this period both the size and strength of our bones increases significantly. Approximately half of our bone mass is accumulated during adolescence. This process continues until the mid20s when peak bone mass is generally achieved (the maximum amount of bone possible during skeletal growth).

Helping a child achieve optimal bone strength is beneficial in late adulthood as there is more bone in reserve from which to draw; unlike in their younger years adults cannot replace bone tissue as quickly as they lose it. It is believed that a 10 per cent increase in peak bone mineral density (BMD) - one measure of bone strength - could delay the development of osteoporosis by 13 years. Prof. John Kanis, president, IOF, said “Our skeleton is very much like a house. “It needs to be built with the right material to keep the structure strong and maintained over time to avoid any long-term damage. “That’s why eating foods such as dairy products, oily fish, fruits and vegetables will provide us with the essential nutrients that are the key building blocks of strong bones.” Judy Stenmark, CEO, IOF added that “99 per cent of the 1 kg of calcium found in the average body resides in our bones, which highlights why we need to get our recommended daily intake as fuel for the production and maintenance of bone. “I encourage everyone to take the IOF Calcium Calculator test to find out how much calcium they are getting and how they can boost their intake.” The Calcium Calculator is available for free at bit.ly/calcium-calculator-web or as an iPhone or Android app.

Red Feet Wines
2014 Gewurztraminer Around $25
WITH ANITA McPHERSON WITH BRONWYN INGLETON
The brain says the green tinged liquid you are about to taste will be a honey sweet dessert wine, yet the lingering flavour that follows has lychee fruit but is also quite herbaceous with the zing of grapefruit on the way to a confidently, dry finish. It was delicious with a bowl of pork hock and split pea soup, which is my winter reworking of meat and three veg, but it’s also great with Thai food and other spicy Asian dishes. The Gewurztraminer is definitely a favourite of mine, and if that makes me easily fooled then I’m one satisfied sucker. Find out more at www.redfeet.com.au
Beef stroganoff
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Guns for Wangaratta, 1901 A STRANGE cargo arrived in Wangaratta on June 17, 1901 – a pair of cannons for the Borough Council. The 32 pounders, relics of one of England’s largest battleships, the Nelson, were later used as commemorative display pieces near the Boer War monument opposite the Town Hall. When the Monument Gardens were created in the early 1920s to accommodate an additional monument, the cannons were incorporated into the design.
BEEF stroganoff was created for Count Stroganov of imperial Russia as an after-theatre supper dish. It later became popular in restaurants in China before the start of the Second World War. Chinese and Russian immigrants then introduced the dish to the United States where it was popular with the fine dining crowd during the 1950s. It was traditionally served with crisp straw potatoes, but is now more often served with noodles or rice, which suggests a Chinese influence. I like it with fettuccini. Method Season the beef strips well with salt and pepper and toss in the flour. Melt half the butter in a frying pan, add the onions and fry slowly, stirring, for about 10 minutes, until just coloured. Add the mushrooms and fry for a few minutes, adding more butter if necessary. Remove the onions and mushrooms, add the remaining butter to the pan and when hot add the beef strips and fry briskly for 3–4 minutes.
Return the onions and mushrooms to the pan with plenty of salt, pepper and paprika. Shake over the heat for one minute, add the tomato paste and cream fraiche, cook for a few minutes longer until heated through, add lemon juice. Scatter with parsley. Serve with boiled rice, noodles or with triangles of hot buttered toast.

INGREDIENTS
AS Australians we have a tendency to call it like we see it and bag anyone who pretends to be something they’re not. We like people who are down to earth and prepared to lay their cards on the table, and steer clear of those who look the part but don’t act it. However, we all enjoy a bit of smoke and mirrors now and then, especially when it comes to food and wine. Chef Heston Blumenthal has made an art and a career out of playful deception, creating ice cream that blows the mind which is expecting to taste bacon and eggs. It’s a similar sensation to the one you get when tasting the Gewurztraminer made by Damian Star from Red Feet in the King Valley. The variety is renowned for its highly aromatic perfume and this one is full, fruity and floral, like a spring bouquet filled with a bee’s paradise of honeysuckle and roses.

Returning to work an important part of the recovery process
W
orksafe has launched a major public awareness campaign to highlight the key roles many Victorians play in helping injured workers get back to work. The ability to return to work after sustaining an injury is absolutely vital to all Victorians, said WorkSafe’s acting chief executive, Clare Amies. “We know that getting back to work after an injury is just as important for a worker’s mental health as it is for their physical recovery,� she said. “The campaign message is simple – there’s nothing like getting back to work for getting better.� This campaign is designed to encourage everyone in the process of returning to work, including workers, employers, family, friends and GPs, to view that getting back to work is an important part of the recovery process. WorkSafe data shows that
the longer an injured worker remains off work, the greater the chance they will never work again. It has also revealed: - 60 per cent of injured workers off work for more than six months will be off work for more than a year. - 17 per cent of injured workers that are off work for more than four weeks will be off work for more than a year. The Campaign will run until the end of July across metro and regional TV, on radio, in print and online. It will be supported by street and cinema advertising and will appear in doctor surgeries, health centres and pharmacies. There will also be targeted communications to injured workers through their agents, and to employers and GPs. For more details on the benefits of getting back to safe work, go to gettingback. com.au.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE
Confused, unsure or in charge? IN my reading over the past week, I must admit I am very confused about what is being said by Treasurer Joe Hockey about home purchases. Early last week he was championing that first home buyers needed to get a good job if they wanted to be able to purchase a home in Sydney. But what does he mean by a good job? I presume he is talking about people, probably just married and less than 25 years of age. They may have been to university and obtained their degree but they will not have the experience necessary to obtain a salary allowing borrowing for a home purchase. The time may be right for a mature debate, given that Secretary of Treasury John Fraser commented a couple of weeks ago that Sydney’s property market and part of
By KEN CLARKE, WANGARATTA CERTIFIED PRACTICING ACCOUNTANT
kenclarke11@bigpond.com Melbourne’s were showing signs of a housing bubble. This warning should be treated seriously, coming from the head of Treasury. “When you look at the housing price bubble evidence, it’s unequivocally the case in Sydney – unequivocal,” Mr Fraser warned. His comments were supported by Reserve Bank assistant governor Malcolm Edey, who said Sydney’s housing market was facing a risky situation. When asked in parliament by the leader of the Opposition about the
housing bubble the Prime Minister replied: “Millions of Australians have borrowed money to buy a house – millions of Australians have mortgages – and the last thing they want to see is a decline in the value of their most important asset. That is the thing. Why should the members opposite be talking down the economy? Why member’s opposite should be saying that somehow people’s houses are worth too much. That is what the leader of the Opposition is saying. He is saying that people’s homes are worth too much.” This probably means that political leadership is missing in the housing market, and national leadership has been left to the Reserve Bank, the Treasury and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, which cannot agree about the seriousness of the problem.
The Reserve Bank and Treasury believe a risky housing problem exists, but APRA officials aren’t that concerned. They contend their warnings last year to banks ought to limit growth in their investor loans have been heeded. Statistics show that over the last 10 years median house prices in Sydney have increased by more than $300,000 so I certainly see that we need to look at ways of providing lower cost housing to the lower paid workers. It brings me to my other point in respect of home ownership that I would like to share with you. A survey of 1000 people carried out on behalf of an industry superfund - owned bank ME - found almost 40 per cent did not know how the cash rate affected their mortgage repayments.
This would appear to me to be that people do not care, they just want a house of their own no matter what the cost of finance. But the cash rate is important (the Reserve Bank sets the cash rate after considering many factors they believe have a bearing on the economy) and for the last couple of years interest rates have been reducing to where we now have a cash rate of two per cent, which 20 years ago would have been unheard of. In most cases, however, your investment will be for many years and I would believe that over a 10 year cycle interest rates could get back to a double digit figure, but we are certainly more able to see factors affecting interest so much quicker and the Reserve Bank will take the necessary action to keep things on track.
