SINCE the dawn of time, man has envied the freedom that birds have to take to the skies and fly far and free. And for men like Mark Bland and Andrew Evans, of Mt Beauty Gliding Club, harnessing that freedom in their gliders has given them some of the most memorable moments of their lives. Mark, who is chief instructor at the club, first tried gliding in the Melbourne suburb of Laverton in 1977, after being given the opportunity while working in the Air Force. “I’ve just always loved aircraft,” he said. He has visited Mt Beauty regularly for gliding since the late 1980s, and eventually moved to the town a few years ago. Such is his passion for the pastime that he lives right next to the Mt Beauty airstrip, which gives him the freedom to get airborne regularly. He said the feeling of gliding, of harnessing thermals and the wind to stay airborne, was simply unforgettable. “You’re looking down on the world, you feel like a king,” he exclaimed. “Flying is a passion.” Mark said gliding in alpine areas has its own singular appeal, and of course presents its own challenges, as opposed to gliding over flat terrain. continued page |

YOUR GARDEN
GARDEN HINTS
Art combines with nature
Summer fruit salad vines
Name: Town:
Tony and Di Fisher Myrrhee
What’s in your garden: It’s a very young garden, we’ve been doing it up around five years. We have an open fireplace made out of stone, a few deciduous trees (mainly maples), lots of conifers, and we’re putting in some hedges at the moment. I make sculptures out of scrap steel (some of which are available to view and purchase at Milawa Bakery) and put them in the garden, some of the garden is designed around the sculptures. Different parts of the garden have different areas dedicated to them. What do you enjoy about gardening: We’ve been pretty keen gardeners for about 20 years. We’ve always built up gardens from scratch. Favorite plant/spot in your garden: Probably our sitting area down the bottom of the garden, near the maples. Water saving/conservation tip: All our trees and plants are on drip irrigation, and we have a spring fed dam for a deeper water once a week. In another year we’ll be able to water less often. Your tips to keep gardens in top shape: We use a lot of pea straw mulch, and we’ve found that to be really good, it stays there for about two seasons. We use a lot of manure from our property where we run cattle.
FEBRUARY is the hottest summer month and with it comes harvest time for some of the most mouth-watering summer fruits. I am eagerly waiting for the first rockmelon and watermelon to ripen. Rockmelon, sometimes called cantaloupe, is botanically known as Cucumis melo. It is a round melon with a thin, light-brown rind and a deliciously sweet juicy orange flesh inside. This vine can be grown from seed or seedlings, with seedlings reaching maturity in 10 -12 weeks. This is the first time I have grown rockmelon for many years and it is happily growing in a newly constructed raised bed along with a watermelon and a few marigolds. The raised bed is made from recycled corrugated iron and is about 2 metres wide and 50 cm deep. It is filled with a well-draining mixture of soil, manure, compost, blood and bone and pelletised chook poo, and topped with sugar cane mulch. The bed is positioned where it receives full sun for most of the day and is shaded in the late afternoon. It is sheltered from winds and the whole garden is fenced to protect it from marauding animals, which are sometimes a problem at our place.
FEAST FOR THE EYES: Tony Fisher (right) shows off the combination of nature and art in his Myrrhee garden.
WITH DEBBI GIBSON, HORTICULTURALIST
I have grown watermelon, botanically known as Citrullus lanatus, before but this year I have tried a new smaller sized variety. Watermelon Bengal Tiger has round soccer ball size fruit making it more fridge friendly and easier to store. It has a light green skin with dark green stripes and a bright red sweet flesh. The smaller size fruit matures better in this region than the larger varieties of watermelon taking between 12-14 weeks. The dog is super impressed with these new striped green balls and tries to get them off the vine, so she is now banned from the veggie garden. Finally, the Nelly Kelly black and red passionfruits have formed many large fruit this year and should be ready to start picking in the next few days. Rockmelon and watermelon drizzled with passionfruit; I can’t wait. Happy gardening.

VETS CORNER

Cutaneous histiocytomas BLUE SKIES: Andrew Evans on a recent flight near Falls Creek.
Glider pilots flying over alpine areas do have less places to land, but they can harness thermals and other wind patterns created by the terrain, including “strong upper winds� that create a wave effect. “It’s like riding the crest of a wave,� he said. Mark recently completed his 10,000th flight, with one of his most memorable being a flight from Leeton in NSW that saw him fly for around eight hours and glide over towns as far afield as Cootamundra. Club president Andrew Evans, a member since 1989, traces his interest in flight back to his childhood, when he learned about flying from his father, a former WWII pilot, during frequent trips to the Berwick airfield. His father would share stories of his flights, and even wartime bombing raids. And Andrew said he often could be found making model planes of his own. “I was always fascinated with it, always wanted to do it,� he said. Andrew’s first experienced gliding was part of a Scout excursion in the 1960s, and like Mark, began gliding as a pastime in the late 1970s. For him, the attraction in gliding lies in its

freedom and the chance to harness nature. “It’s a beautiful, quiet, peaceful sensation,� he said. “You feel like an eagle, you feel like part of the aircraft. “It’s similar to surfing, in that you’re very in tune with nature.� Andrew gets to the club as often as he can and notes that Mt Beauty Gliding Club is a very active club for such a small town. He said over the years, he and fellow club members have taught many of the younger generation to embrace gliding, laughing that before some of the younger members can get a licence to drive, they can gain a licence to fly on their own. Andrew said that seeing the North East from a bird’s eye view was one of the most amazing parts of gliding. “Mt Beauty is always green, even in the summer, and sunsets create long shadows over the paddocks,� he said. Next month the club will once again host its Mountain Flying Course for experienced pilots, taking place between March 7-14. More information on the club can be found at www.mtbeautygliding.com, or the group’s Facebook page.
CUTANEOUS histiocytomas are a common type of skin cancer in younger dogs. They arise from a type of cell in the immune system (histiocyte) and often appear suddenly and grow rapidly over the first four weeks. They can occur in any breed, but seem to be more common in boxers and bull terriers. Nearly all dogs with this type of tumor are under six years of age. Along with rapid growth, they will often become ulcerated and can become secondarily infected. As a result they look like quite a nasty skin lump and owners are often worried that they represent a serious problem. Interestingly in many cases with a little time they spontaneously regress, which suggests that they are possibly not a “real� cancer at all, but rather just a transient overreaction of the immune system. However, this “spontaneous� regression can take several months and many of these tumors are often surgically removed because they are bothering the dog. Surgical removal where a good margin around the lump is achieved achieves a cure in nearly all cases.
These tumors have a typical pink button-like appearance, and are usually around 1cm in diameter. They are hairless and then become ulcerated with possibly some bleeding or pus associated. It is very uncommon for the dog to have two of these lumps at the same time. They unfortunately appear similar to a mast cell tumor which is a much more serious malignant cancer. If your young dog develops a mass of this type a quick needle biopsy and laboratory analysis can tell us what we are dealing with and allow a plan for treatment to be created.

Size
95cm
Bait:
Lure
Location: The Catch:
Ovens River Craig caught this fish during cod opening, and after a quick photo, released it back into the river.
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
CATCH AND RELEASE: The protected trout cod (formally known as bluenose cod) that I caught and released on Friday evening on the pink Wilson Slickback lure.
SUDOKU MEDIUM
Eight of the cod were caught on a Wilson Slickback lure in white and pink color, and the last cod was caught on a black Koolabung Codwalker surface lure. There is a YouTube video of my evening on my YouTube page – called “Robbiefishing� and the video of my nine cod on Friday night is called “Murray Cod Fishing. Cod Convention�. Check it out - the fish were not big, with the largest being around 60cm. The Ovens and King river system is chock a block full of cod, both Murray cod and the protected trout cod. It doesn’t matter where you fish in

Best session in 30 years AFTER enduring a month or so of very slow Murray cod fishing, last week’s stable weather patterns led to one of the most memorable fishing sessions I have ever seen in over 30 years fishing for Murray cod in the Wangaratta area. On Friday evening I managed to catch not one, not two, but nine cod in a two hour session just walking the banks casting lures. I caught one trout cod and eight Murray cod. I am not going to tell you the exact location for a number of reasons, however, I will say that I was within a 10 minute drive of the Wangaratta CBD.

Wangaratta at the moment, you are in with a great chance of catching a cod. Away from the great cod fishing and Brenton Richardson and another friend of his spent an afternoon trolling Tassie Devil lures around Rocky Valley dam at Falls Creek last week. Brenton did not count his fish, but said at an estimate they trolled around 15 or so trout. The biggest was around 1l pounds. Brenton said that it was 38 degrees in Wodonga that day, and very pleasant at Rocky Valley dam, until a shower of rain passed over and they almost froze.

Back to school: now what? WITH all school-aged children across Australia returning to classes over the last couple of weeks, there are more than likely to be a few mums who may be wondering ‘now what’? Weight loss expert Sally Symonds advises there is no time like the present to ease back into regular exercise. “Even if it is a very slow, very short walk,” says Sally, “doing any form of exercise will give you time to think clearly and help you to feel great. “And the more regular, the better.” Sally believes that regular exercise, regardless of the type of exercise, is the greatest foundation for sustainable health and weight loss. “One of the best techniques for making exercise more enjoyable, or at least a lot less horrible, is to identify which focus, activity or exercise works best for you,” Sally says. “The more you enjoy exercise, the more likely you are to do it again. “And the more variety in your exercises, the more benefit your body will get out of the activity.” For those mums who are lacking in motivation for exercise, Sally suggests five of her top tips: 1. Choose the right type of exercise for you: Balancing the psychological component with the physical element is something that is sorely missing in most approaches to weight loss and healthy living. You can even apply personality profiles to help select the best exercise to suit your psychological makeup and therefore increase your willingness to stick to it. Astoundingly, a massive 60 per cent of people who begin to exercise stop within six months, and 90 per cent of
people drop out within two years.” 2. Incorporate balance into your exercise routine: I recall experiencing flow quite early on in my exercise life when I was learning various balance exercises. Not only do they help your brain as well as your body, but require a single-mindedness and concentration that lets you forget about all your everyday worries and focus entirely on the present moment. 3. Exercise in disguise: Find activities that are actually exercise in disguise: going to the zoo, walking around the shopping mall, having fun at an amusement park, or even just sitting on a duraDisc on your office chair each day. 4. Consider the benefits of ‘Effortless Exercise’: All exercise requires some physical effort, but some exercises don’t require any mental effort. That’s an important distinction. While you might sooner walk over hot coals than attend an aerobics class, taking your kids to the park and pushing them on the swing might require virtually no mental effort, yet it still burns vital calories. Effortless exercise is all about increasing your fitness level and decreasing your waistline without even knowing it.” 5. Challenge yourself: The most common exercise mistake that people make is doing the same thing, or very similar things week in and week out. The same twenty minutes on the treadmill three times a week? You’re not completely wasting your time – but you certainly could be making far better use of it. The same 60-minute bodypump class five days a week? Same answer. Your body knows what to expect. It doesn’t have to challenge itself so much, it doesn’t have to work so hard, and so you don’t get the superior results that you deserve.

WINE TALK

Brown Brothers
Beef & beer casserole
Zibibbo Blood Orange Around $16
WITH ANITA McPHERSON It’s a bright and fun bubbly which seems to be universally appreciated by drinkers right across the spectrum. It’s fresh and exuberant with the uplifting scent of an orange grove, and has the zingy, mineral edge of blood orange zest, making it more refreshing than sweet. Made from fruit from the Muscat family, this wine can be enjoyed with or without food, so you can drink it from dawn until dark, which is about how long our lunches seem to go. It’s lucky I brought an extra bottle for the staff or they might not let us come back. Available at local outlets or visit www.brownbrothers. com.au.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Tobacco expert arrives, 1896 NORTH East tobacco growers, like growers in other parts of Australia, were at their wits’ end to try to produce tobacco which could compare favorably with the American leaf. So to get firsthand advice, the Victorian department of agriculture engaged an American tobacco expert named Alex Bondurant, who arrived in Wangaratta on February 18, 1896, to tour the district’s tobacco farms, making himself familiar with the local scene. He was responsible for a research station being set up in the King Valley, and was instrumental in the introduction of new seed varieties, new methods of growing, picking, and particularly of curing tobacco leaf, and played a significant part in upgrading the quality of Victorian tobacco.

WITH my son home for a week, and the fact I’m only used to cooking for myself I thought what a good time to cook up a casserole, it will not go to waste sitting in the fridge waiting for me to finally finish it. I love the use of beer as it adds something to the finished taste of the dish. Have it as a single dish with bread or with mashed potato and green beans. Method Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fanforced. Heat half the oil in a heavy-based, flameproof casserole dish over mediumhigh heat. In a bowl combine flour, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Toss beef in the mixture, then cook beef in batches, for 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer back to a clean bowl. Heat remaining oil in dish. Add leek, carrots, garlic, bacon, mushrooms and red pepper. Cook, stirring 5 minutes or until onion has softened. Return beef to dish. Add potato, bay leaves and thyme. Stir in beer, tinned tomatoes and water if needed. Cover dish. Bring to the boil. Transfer to oven. Bake for 2 hours or until beef is tender. Remove and discard bay leaves. Serve with bread or green beans.

INGREDIENTS
ONE of the most annoying groups for restaurant staff to have to deal with must be the arrival of a big group of friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time. While they are invariably in a good mood, they tend to hug, kiss and squeal loudly, disturbing other patrons, before settling down to talk incessantly before even looking at the menu. As waiters hover around hoping to take an order sometime in the next hour, they must be rolling their eyes in the knowledge that the kitchen team is waiting, and this is going to be a long one. I find it best to take matters into my own hands and have the drinks ready to go, before loudly calling them all to order. And having a few bottles of Brown Brothers Zibibbo blood orange already on the table definitely helps.

Do I really need to detox?
Danger on the web cookie trail
SO you read last week’s article and thought: “I don’t have those conditions. “I eat healthily. “Do I really need to detox?� The short answer is yes. Health and wellness is not only the absence of disease or dysfunction in your body, but the preventative action we take to ensure that our body will last the distance and allow us to enjoy life at your best. Like most things in life, there are certain situations where it is not advisable to do a detox. Always seek guidance from a naturopath who specialises in detoxification prior to beginning your detox. We often think of organs as only doing one job, eg the liver detoxifies, the bowel is for excreting wastes etc, but the fact is that all organs are multi taskers, working around the clock to ensure your body is working at its best. Below are some examples of other tasks these major organs do. What can a Naturopathic liver detox do for my health? t #PPTU TMVHHJTI NFUBCPMJTN t 5VSO UPYJD DIFNJDBMT into less toxic chemicals and dispose of them. t -FTT IFBEBDIFT t 3FEVDFT BOHFS BOE irritability t "TTJTU UIF BCTPSQUJPO PG

IN my reading over the past week I came across an article in my CPA journal which I thought was worthy of sharing. The more surfing of the net you do, the greater chance that someone out there like ‘Big Brother’ will be keeping tabs on what you are doing and where. Companies are now able to archive what you have looked at, but there is a trade-off – your personal information in exchange for some useful tools and offers tailored to your wants, needs and dreams. A scenario presented in the article goes like this. You are searching for some flights using one window of your computer, when out pops your Facebook page with details as advertised items in another. It has arrived on your screen, completely unsolicited. Welcome to the world of track and trace technology where your every step is known, and could even be predicted. Companies can establish an agreement with an online publisher (Facebook, Google or Amazon) which sees a piece of code placed on the participating client’s website. As you browse, the browser cookies that record your clicks within a website start to amass a large body of information. In late October 2014, the Australian Government introduced legislation requiring telcos to keep metadata logs pertaining to email, internet, mobile and landline use, as a means to crackdown on potential terrorist activity, cyber threats, child exploitation and other crime. This is an example of the trend for governments around the world to retain more internet data. Australian internet service providers would have to hold the data for up to two years and many are despondent about these changes. Steve Dalby, iiNet’s chief regulatory officer
STRAIGHT TEETH, NO BRACES.
By KEN CLARKE, WANGARATTA CERTIFIED PRACTICING ACCOUNTANT
kenclarke11@bigpond.com says it is among the most unworkable pieces of legislation ever introduced. But as the government has made no move to pay for this additional impost, it is likely the customer will be footing the bill. “Our customers will have to pay for something we don’t want to do or offer them – it’s a surveillance tax which won’t deliver surveillance,� Mr Dalby said. But, should you wish to use Facebook messaging, WhatsApp, Skype, Viber, Hotmail and Gmail – none of these are in the legislation as they are based offshore and technically are not covered by Australian legislation. So, being a bad guy and you are trying to evade detection, just use these apps and you’ll most likely go under the radar. As the internet gets to know you more, it will get smarter about you. So how can we outwit the snoopers? You need to be stingy with your information and interrogate what sites and apps are requesting – that is, what exactly do the sites mean by using third party data. If you know how, reject website cookies by using the private mode on your internet browser to prevent your browser history being leaked. I suggest you change your email if you do web searches on Google, don’t use the associated Gmail. But then I am not worried if “big brother� does know I have toast and peanut butter for breakfast and a glass of wine with dinner or that my leisure time is spent on the golf course. This is the world we now live in.
