FROM strumming her first chords under the tutelage of her late father, to winning a Telstra Road to Discovery Award and recording in Canada and the USA, Beechworth singer songwriter Liv Cartledge has come a long way. She started performing as a tween, busking on the streets of Beechworth before moving into playing gigs with her father, which she fondly remembers as her “apprenticeship”. “I’ve been pretty lucky, having been able to be exposed to the live music and pub scene at such a young age,” Liv said. She has spent the past few years focusing more on her music, dividing her time between Brunswick and the North East, and won a Telstra Road to Discovery award in 2015. “This quickly turned my long term goals into a 12 month plan, and gave me the invaluable opportunity to go to the USA and Canada to play some shows and record my debut EP, Timber,” Liv said. “The award was a huge part of the last couple of years for my music and also being able to move forward professionally. “The support and networks I’ve gained have been absolutely invaluable.” Liv worked with award winning producer Daniel Ledwell in Lake Echo, Novia Scotia in Canada, as well as working with Neilson Hubbard in one of America’s largest music hubs, Nashville. “Those guys were absolute magicians in the studio,” she said, lauding the inspiration and energy she drew from Nashville’s live music scene. “It’s just so full of life and exciting in Nashville. “Every venue along Broadway had a band playing every night.” continued page |

Protecting your investment as a landlord ACROSS Victoria, landlord insurance claims increased almost 24 per cent and cost almost 11 per cent more in 2016 than in the year previous, new RACV data has revealed. Storms and acts by tenants including damage, rental default and leaving without notice, resulted in more than half the insurance claims. Storm damage across the state accounted for the largest proportion of landlord insurance claims at 29 per cent while escaping water claims (eg from burst pipes) resulted in 18 per cent of all claims and caused more than $2.8 million in damage. Storm-damage related costs tripled in 2016 when compared to the previous year, totalling almost $3.2 million. Overall, Victorian tenants were more reliable in 2016, with landlord insurance claims for malicious damage, rental defaults, or leave without notice dropping by four per cent. However, the cost of the claims still totalled nearly $6 million and was slightly more than in 2015. “In addition to tenants causing damage, landlords should also consider the cost of natural disasters, such as storms, floods and fires and how a lack of adequate insurance cover could seriously impact their investment return,� said Stacey Maher, RACV Home Insurance general manager. “The RACV data reinforces the importance for landlords to protect their investment by having the right type of policy in place and to know what they are covered for.�
PEACE OF MIND: Research, careful screening of tenants and adequate insurance can give you peace of mind as a landlord. Tips for landlords 1. Screen prospective tenants carefully. Check referees and past property managers. 2. Tenants who do not pay the rent can be just as costly to landlords as those who cause damage. If rent is paid late, take action immediately. 3. Ensure you have adequate landlord insurance for your needs, which covers against malicious
damage and loss of rental income. 4. Have your property regularly inspected and record its condition. If damage caused by a tenant is not recorded during an inspection it may be costly to repair later. Also, if maintenance issues are not fixed, the landlord may face legal liability if a tenant is injured. 5. Consider getting a highquality real estate firm to manage your rental property.

April garden tasks THERE’S a lot to do in the garden in April. The last of summer has well and truly passed and autumn has finally arrived bringing cooler temperatures, shorter days and the end of daylight savings. The long awaited autumn rain has added much needed moisture to the soil, making digging the ground much easier and the autumn weather provides the perfect opportunity to get outside and work in the garden. Now is the ideal time to plant, transplant, divide, cutback, take cuttings, renew a garden and replace dead plants or ones that struggled through the summer. Plant anything and everything, as the soil and daytime temperatures are still warm enough to enable plants to establish before the soon to come winter cold. Prepare the planting hole by digging wider and slightly deeper, then adding compost and aged manure to improve the soil. Winter annuals, perennials and shrubs can all be planted. Select roses in flower, or deciduous plants with their gradual colourful display of leaves. Dig up and divide perennials then replant in a bare patch in the garden. Spring flowering
WITH DEBBI GIBSON, HORTICULTURALIST
bulbs can also be planted from now until mid-May. Trim back summer flowering shrubs, removing spent flowers and twiggy growth. Lightly prune overgrown hedges and reshape. Healthy prunings can then be used to prepare cuttings. Take 10cm cuttings and remove the lower leaves, dip the cuttings into hormone powder and pot in small containers of premium potting mix. Keep just moist and shelter from strong wind and sun. If your garden is like mine and has lots of self-seeding plants, dig them while small and replant throughout the garden or pot up and swap with friends. Take control of weeds by removing or spraying. Bare patches invite weed invasion so fill in the gaps by planting new trees and shrubs, eliminating the spaces for weeds to grow. And while the soil is still warm, re-seed any bare patches in lawns with a fast germinating seed. Finally, find a special place in your garden to just sit, relax and enjoy. Happy gardening.

Pets and obesity JUST like in the human population, obesity is one of the most common health problems we see in our companion animals. However, despite the large numbers of obese animals in the general population, pet owners are not often aware that their pet has a weight issue. This is due to the fact that many people may have a preconceived idea of what their dog or cat’s breed normally looks like. However, this is frequently a misconception as it does not align to their pet’s ideal body condition. As with humans, there is considerable variation in an animal’s body shape and size, even within the same breed, so it is difficult to list an ideal
weight for any individual. Your pet’s optimal body condition is determined by examining the ratio between muscle and fat on their frame. Generally an ideal body condition in dogs and cats includes being able to see their waist, feel their ribs easily, with a little bit of fat covering them, with the abdomen tucked up underneath the body and not sagging toward the ground. Obesity in companion animals is linked to many other diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and arthritis, so it is important that obese animals have their weight managed. The most common reason for weight gain is due to an excessive energy intake – ie feeding too much.
Even very active dogs can become overweight, if their meals are too large. Hence feeding an appropriate portion of a good quality pet food is important for your pet’s health and wellbeing. Feeding guides on packs of food are a good place to begin, but as stated, they are only a “guide”. If you have an overweight pet with other health issues, determining an appropriate food and portion size can be achieved with consultation with your vet. Remember, if you want to keep track of your animal’s weight, you can pop in to your local vet clinic and use the scales anytime. Alistair Chatto, veterinarian

Liv’s music influences are fairly widespread, from the evocative storytelling style of performers such as Paul Kelly and The Waifs, to more alternative pop which has seen her experiment with new sounds in her own music. She recently released her new single, You Got Me High, which has attracted positive reviews on Triple J Unearthed, and she has plenty of plans to keep building her music career. “My ultimate career goal is to be able to see the world and continue to play and write music until I physically can’t do it anymore,” she said. Liv will be among those performing at the second Mokoan Music Fest this Sunday, April 23, set in natural bushland at Green’s Hill, which overlooks the Winton Wetlands, with the line-up also
including Ash Grunwald. “This will be my first Mokoan Music Fest and I can’t wait,” she said. “I am loving all of these opportunities for musicians popping up in North East Vic and surrounds. “Small towns need more of these events and I’m so excited to be a part of it. “There’s something special about the North East and especially playing music there, playing to familiar faces and people I’ve known my whole life. “I’m lucky, I get the best of both worlds floating between home in Beechworth and Melbourne. “North East Victoria will always be home.” More information on the festival can be found at mokoanmusicfest. com.

FISHING FOCUS
CATCH OF THE WEEK
Name:
Halen McIntyre (age 5), Myrtleford
Catch:
Murray Cod
Size
56cm
Bait:
Cheese
Location: FINE SPECIMEN: This redfin was caught on a Wildbait Minnow in the bottom reaches of one of the region’s small creeks last week. The small creeks can produce some nice redfin, but be prepared to move around looking for the right spots.
Perfect weather for fishing THIS magnificent weather has led to some quite good fishing across North East Victoria over the past week. Lake Mulwala has been the stand out fishery for Murray cod with consistent reports still coming in of good catches. Downstream of Lake Mulwala in the Murray River there has been some very large Murray cod caught over the last few weeks. The Ovens River has slowed down as I stated last week, however some anglers are still catching a few Murray cod. I went fishing five minutes from Wangaratta after work on Saturday afternoon and managed to catch one Murray cod of around 45cm long on a Bassman DT spinnerbait.
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
It was the only touch I had for the hundreds of casts that I made. The trout fishing has been fantastic in the creeks and rivers with reports coming in from quite a few areas. Some places have been hit and miss. A little bit of footwork is required at the moment to find the fish. The Kiewa River has been fishing quite slowly, yet the Mitta Mitta River upstream of Eskdale has been fishing much more consistently for trout. The redfin have been firing all over the place.
The Catch:
The fish was caught and released.

The word from my main Lake Buffalo correspondent (my dad) is that the redfin are still being caught, but they seem to be slowing down a bit. Dad kept around 15 nice redfin from Lake Buffalo on Good Friday and caught most of them on small yabbies. The lower sections of some of the region’s trout streams have been producing a few redfin lately, and some large ones at that. This type of redfin fishing is very spasmodic. Some years it’s great and other years there’s no fish to be seen. At the moment there’s a few redfin around if you’re willing to do the footwork.

Understanding naturopathy (part one) BELINDA and I often get asked what is naturopathy, what do you do and can you help me with xyz? In simple terms, naturopathy is a system of natural healthcare based on assessing and treating the cause of ill health. What we find is that for most people there will be a certain weakness that their body is prone to when it is under stress (stress can be physical like an injury, lifestyle induced like eating foods that don’t agree with you, poor sleep habits or it can be an emotional or mental response). These stressors tend to affect our weakest link – this is why one person is prone to PMS, others are always tired or bloated and someone else always gets a cold or sinus infection whenever they are run down, stressed or not eating well. One common example we see is women who become sluggish and fatigued after a hormonal change like menopause or having a child. They say ”ever since the birth of my second child I can eat well and go to the gym, but I still feel sluggish”. They become frustrated
BY NATUROPATHS SOPHIE LORBACK AND BELINDA MCPHERSON (BHSCI. NATUROPATHY)
because they eat better than their friends who don’t seem to have these problems with bloating and sluggish metabolism. This is because for this person, the stress of the hormonal change has affected their metabolism. For their friend it may
cause more PMS, anxiety or skin issues instead. We have many tools to assess these symptoms and to rebalance the body. To learn more about how naturopathy can rebalance your body, see next week’s article.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Disaster movie, 1906 A YOUNG Wangaratta man, holidaying overseas, was caught in the great San Francisco Earthquake. He was the youngest son of Wangaratta draper T Mitchell, and was staying in San Francisco’s Winchester Hotel when the quake struck. Although Mr Mitchell in Wangaratta knew nothing about the quake at the time, he received a letter in June from his son which gave graphic details of his escape from the hotel and to the countryside for safety.

WHILE I can totally understand people getting cranky when Christmas decorations begin to appear in October, the same cannot be said for the early arrival and late exit of Easter. It’s never too early for hot cross buns and chocolate is welcome all year round as far as I’m concerned, whether it comes in the form of a football-sized egg, a rabbit or a basic old block. What I’m not especially fond of is combining the two, preferring to celebrate the spicy, fruit-filled pillows of joy in their classic form before following up with chocolate as a decadent dessert. It’s all about balance and there also needs to be some savoury along with the sweet, which is why I’ve been sharing All Saints Estate Durif with the family over the holiday period.

Applying for jobs without success? Try these tips R
ushing in and applying for roles without knowing what you really want can lead to disappointment, says Hays CEO, Alistair Cox. According to Alistair, “More often than not, the unsuccessful candidates are those who have dived headfirst into the job search process, without thinking about what they really want and what exactly they need to do to get there. “As a result, they end up applying for roles that aren’t necessarily right for them at this particular stage in their career.� Alistair believes candidates should consider the following: 1. Map out a clear career path “Securing the right role for you, rather than ‘a role, right now’, requires you to take a step back and answer some honest questions about what you want out of your career in the long-term,� says Alistair. Think about your strengths and weaknesses, the skills you possess and the type of work that has provided you with the most fulfilment in your career so far. Also consider external factors, such as changes within your industry.
RETHINK: Take time to polish and renew your job search focus.
Alistair adds, “Aside from determining the kind of job you actually want to be doing, answering these questions will provide you with a roadmap for career success. “You may recognise an attribute that sets you apart from other candidates which you can focus on highlighting to employers, or you could spot an emerging area of employment in your sector that has so far gone largely unnoticed.� 2. Use your current position to enrich your CV Are there opportunities within your current role that
will enrich your job further and add additional skills and experience to your CV? For example, could you become involved in a project, learn a new computer program or take on additional duties? Alistair says, “Refining your expertise and skills is another fantastic way to flex your muscles in your current role, while also boosting your potential future value in the jobs market. It will also do wonders for your selfconfidence, which is no bad thing when embarking on a job search.�
3. Think about what you want to be known for How are you perceived at work? Your personal brand shapes your professional identity and ultimately how others view you, which could be pivotal to your success. “Instead of jumping headfirst into your job search, you must think about what you are currently known for, how you see yourself, what you want to be known for, and what needs to change for you to become the best brand of you,� says Alistair. He goes on to warn that switching employers is a significant change and longterm success should never be sacrificed for short-term satisfaction. “Speaking as an employer myself, the candidates that really stand out are those with clear drive and focus, those who have a plan, not just in their day-to-day but also in their long-term career ambitions. “By taking a measured approach and considering where you want to be and how best to get there, you should find yourself pulled towards an exciting new role that is right for you.�
