EVERYWHERE you seem to look there are picture perfect images of motherhood, from softly lit nappy advertisements to cute baby closeups in social media feeds. Motherhood is more visible than ever, but often the challenging and difficult aspects of becoming a parent are hidden from view. For an expectant or new parent, the difference between the two images can be disillusioning and guilt inducing. The onset of parenthood can lead to postnatal or antenatal depression, with one in seven new mothers, and one in 20 new fathers, diagnosed with postnatal depression each year in Australia. For new parents across the region, help often comes in the form of a visit to the Early Motherhood Service in Wangaratta, which deals with almost 200 new parents a year. The service’s perinatal mental health clinician, Fiona Gladstone, has been working in the field for 12 years and is passionate about helping new parents from all walks of life. “It’s an area where, like any other illness, early interventions are vitally important,” she said. Sitting in the calming surrounds of her office, Fiona sees the local service as a pioneering one, as it combines both physical and mental health professionals in one location to ensure complete care for families – an approach which inspired the State Government to roll out similar services statewide in the past few years. continued page |

NOVEMBER, the final month of spring, is all about preparation for the hot summer months. It’s the time of the year when we should summer proof the garden. It is essential to mulch to protect plants and the soil. Make sure to mulch everywhere, including pots and hanging baskets. Mulch acts like a blanket to stop the sun and wind drying out and baking the soil and roots and helps keep the soil moist and cooler. Cover all the soil, as bare soil loses too much moisture to evaporation and heats up on hot days. There is a wide variety of mulch to choose from, including sugarcane, lucerne, pea straw, straw and various grades and colors of pine bark. Pebbles and gravel can also be used and work well with cactus and succulents. Low spreading ground covers act as a living mulch by offering shade and cooling the soil. Choose groundcovers suited to the conditions of the garden. Potted plants need protection from the severe heat. During heatwaves or prolonged hot days, move them to a more shaded spot under a tree or veranda, pergola, or along the shaded side of the house. If moving is not an option, cover the plant with some shade cloth to reduce the effect of the heat.
WITH DEBBI GIBSON, HORTICULTURALIST
Place a saucer underneath and fill with water to create humidity, keep the roots cooler and make water available to the plant. Protect summer veggie crops from the really hot afternoon sun by erecting a simple covering from shade cloth. Hammer in four star pickets and drape the shade cloth over the posts. Use one with no more than 50 per cent UV protection, or the plants may become too leggy. White shade cloth offers added protection by reflecting the heat. Spray the leaves of plants with Drought shield to lock in the moisture and reduce water loss through evaporation from the leaves. It also works a bit like sunscreen, helping to protect the surface of the leaves from scorching. Check all irrigation lines are working and water slowly over a long period to penetrate down to the root zone. Happy gardening.

Some words about birds
RECOGNISED: Fiona Gladstone, Northeast Health Wangaratta board member Edward Higgins, Laura Parisotto and founding member of the Early Motherhood Service Jennifer Ahrens in 2011 when the service was recognised with a highly commended Minister’s Award for outstanding achievement by an individual or team in mental healthcare.
“We’ve got very strong relationships with Northeast Health Wangaratta and other service providers,� she said. The combined nature of the service helps parents share anxieties without fear of judgement, according to Fiona. She said unrealistic expectations of parenthood can lead to a low mood in new mothers and fathers, but in many cases antenatal and postnatal depression, or related conditions such as anxiety disorders, had no set cause. “It doesn’t discriminate,� Fiona said. “You cannot predict who is going to have a perinatal problem. “It comes back to people’s expectations of parenthood. “In our grandparents’ generation, women had more traditional roles, and often had a lot to do with the care of siblings and other babies. “Now, often the first baby they will hold is their own, and some can struggle.� Fiona said for prospective or new parents who are struggling, or family and friends who suspect a loved one is suffering from antenatal or postnatal depression, the “best thing they can do� is contact a relevant service, as well as make small gestures of help. She said the service can also point people
in the direction of helpful groups, such as a local new parents’ group, which can help them feel more supported and part of a community, with other parents facing similar challenges. November 16-22 marks Postnatal Drepression Awareness Week. More information and help is available via Post and Antenatal Depression Association Inc (PANDA) on www.panda.org.au or by calling 1300 726306, or contact The Early Motherhood Service on (03) 5722 5472 or log on to www.beyondblue.org.au.

BIRDS can make entertaining, loyal pets that are often easy to look after. There are many commercial products available for avian husbandry. Here are some handy tips to help new or long time bird lovers look after their feathered friends. Housing – What to provide: A large cage that is able to be cleaned daily with ease. Plastic food bowls should be secured to the side of the cage. The type of perch selected is important, with dowel rods that often come with a new cage being unsuitable. Branches of trees such as teatree or gums are preferred allowing the birds to grip the perch as they would in the wild. Sand or grit is an ideal floor covering. Toys are available to entertain the birds, avoid cluttering the cage. Keep cages in draught free areas with areas of sunlight and shade. Cages should be covered at night to minimise disturbance to the bird. Feeding There are a range of commercial diets available, consider the following when choosing your feed:
t "MM TFFE EJFUT QBSUJDVMBSMZ sunflower seeds, are very high in fat and low in many vitamins and trace elements. Due to the preferred taste birds will selectively choose seeds, like us choosing chocolate. Seeds also prevent calcium absorption from the gut. t #JSE QFMMFU NJYFT BSF B CFUUFS foundation diet for birds. t "MXBZT QSPWJEF GSFTI XBTIFE fruit and vegetables. Try and mimic their natural diet. t (SFFO GPPET BSF IJHI JO USBDF elements. Nuts are high in fat and should be avoided. t (SJU TVDI BT TBOE BOE HSBWFM aids in digestive function while cuttlefish bones provide trace elements. t 'SFTI XBUFS TIPVME CF changed daily. t "WPJE BWPDBEP SBX NJML chocolates, high salt and high fat diets. Normal bird behavior Throughout the day, birds will forage, engage in social interaction and undergo maintenance behavior such as preening. They will eat at dusk and dawn, rest at night and occasionally during the day, however, they spend most of the day grooming. The captive environment is more conducive to breeding due to a lot of time bonding with
owners and freely available high fat, high protein diets. Allowing the bird’s eyes to sit above our eyes, averting our eyes or interacting with our hands behind back with a soft voice is a sign of submission to birds which can often lead to undesirable behavioral issues seen in birds. Training Birds, particularly parrots, are relatively easily to train. From simple tricks like “step up� and “step down� from your hand to the perch to more advanced games like color identification. There are a number of handy videos and DVDs available to help owners train their birds. Determining the sex There are a number of ways to determine the sex of the bird ranging from feather color, cere color, the size of the bird or the most accurate way being genetic testing where a few feathers are plucked and sent off for genetic analysis. This provides the owner with a certificate of avian sexing. Enjoy your feathered friends and provide them with an interesting, stimulating environment and they will provide you with hours of entertainment. Becky Fletcher BVSc, Wangaratta Veterinary Clinic

FISHING FOCUS
CATCH OF THE WEEK
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
There are still some trout spots in the area are producing trout, however, if you are prepared to hike into more inaccessible areas you are likely to encounter better fishing, and better fish. Natural presentations are best: At this time of the year when the water is clear, low, and warming up the trout can become very picky. Natural looking lures are more likely to produce the fish. Fly fishermen using tiny black nymphs will catch trout. Lure fishermen should try natural presenting soft plastics, or small natural colored minnows. Bait fishermen should avoid using worms for bait now as it has been too dry for the worms to be in the system naturally. Instead, try using mudeyes which are prolific at this time of the year.

REWARD FOR EFFORT: The author caught this 60cm trout on a dark (natural) colored Metalhead soft plastic in one of the headwaters of the Ovens River on the weekend. The trout are there, and anglers with a sense of adventure are finding them.
DESPITE the recent warm weather there are still plenty of trout to be caught in the region’s many creeks and rivers. Here are a few pointers to help get you onto a trout over the next few weeks. Head upstream: With the warmer weather, the lowland streams have slowed right down. Head as far upstream as you can get as the trout populations are far better in the headwaters of the creeks and rivers than they are in the lower reaches at the moment. Fish quieter areas with less fishing pressure: If you are serious about catching some nice stream trout, be prepared to hike into areas that are inaccessible by car. Some of the popular camping

On the weekend, I hiked into a remote headwater of the Ovens River where I caught a massive trout, as well as a smaller one. I also saw a lot of trout, and observed on several occasions, mudeyes swimming in the river around the rocks and weedy edges. So the trout are there if you’re willing to do the hard yards. Don’t be scared to explore new places and try new things. The trout fishing isn’t a shadow of what it was four years ago, however, there are still pockets of decent trout fishing across the region. The Ovens River upstream of Bright is fishing quite well at the moment and is a great starting point for any angler’s trout fishing adventure at the present time.

BOOK
Hello from the Gillespies by Monica McInerney FOR more than thirty years, Angela Gillespie has sent friends and family around the world an end-of-year letter titled ‘Hello from the Gillespies’, always cheery and full of good news. This year, Angela surprises herself – she tells the truth. Published by Penguin Books Australia
Who rules? SOME time ago, a friend gave us a gift of a small wall plaque. It depicted a grinning Miniature Schnauzer dog and the words “Rules the House!”. I smiled and thanked them, secretly smirking and thinking; “They think I’m a crazy dog woman who lets her dogs rule the roost. “But they’re wrong, of course.” That was back in the days when our dogs were mostly ‘outside’ dogs; they slept in the shed at night and only came in when we said so. Nowadays, however, that’s all changed. They not only spend a good deal of their days lying around inside enjoying the heater or air conditioner, but they also get to have a bit of a snuggle on the big bed with Mum at bedtime before spending the night on their own beds on the floor in our room. Yes, things have certainly changed. But even I didn’t realise just how much until I arrived home from work the other night to find a note from the spouse saying he’d gone out. I could smell food and realised, with some pleasure, that he’d been cooking something on the stove. “What a darling,” I thought. “He’s whipped up some din dins before he’s gone out.” I did fleetingly note that the aroma was not perhaps the most enticing I’ve ever smelled but, hey, a meal cooked by someone else is always a bonus. I was not about to nit pick. However, my delight was quickly replaced by annoyance when I lifted the lid of the pot and discovered he’d actually cooked the dogs’ food (ever since the vet commented that our boys were perhaps a wee bit too ‘well fed’ we’ve been cooking them a healthy mince and vegie concoction – and they love it.). Well, anyway, there in the pot was this week’s doggie offering - but apparently nothing for moi. Still hopeful, I moved to the fridge to see what delicacy he’d purchased for our own dinner. The fridge, however, revealed nothing obviously dinner-worthy. I was perplexed. “Oh wait. Maybe he’s already cooked a
BY CATHERINE WARNOCK meatloaf and it’s still in the oven,” I thought optimistically taking a peek inside the oven. But no dice. The oven, too, was bare. I shrugged and made my way out to the laundry to feed the dogs. On the way there I remembered that the kibble container had been almost empty that morning and I sighed thinking I would now have to make a run to the supermarket for some more. But no. When I opened the lid I found the kibbles had been replenished. So he’d definitely been to the supermarket, bought up all the doggie food and came away with nothing for us to eat. Sheesh! “Well at least he got the kibbles,” I consoled myself as I dished the dogs up their (surprisingly appealing) dinner and stood back to watch them eat it. To my horror I found my mouth watering slightly as I watched them slurping up their lovingly cooked stew and crunchy kibbles. Where once it was they who sat drooling jealously while we ate our dinner, now it was me doing the drooling. It was then I realised just how much things had changed around here. Not only had the dogs finagled their way into our hearts and our bedroom, but now they were taking precedence in the food department. Yes. Tables have clearly turned. The master has become the servant. This lot are definitely moving up the food chain, it seems. Oh well, I guess every dog should have its day (or year, or lifetime). I decided it was perhaps time to fish out that little wall plaque and hang it up in a prominent position. After all, we all know who’s really in charge around here now, don’t we? Somehow I don’t think it’s me.

Ciavarella Oxley Estate
2014 Rosato Around $20 YOU may not quite be ready to deck the halls with boughs of holly, but it seems everyone else is. Supermarkets are playing carols, the date for annual work Christmas parties has been set, and shops are beginning to be decorated with tinsel and lights. I hadn’t given a moment’s thought to Christmas shopping, until this week when a few ideas started coming to mind. As usual it revolved around wine and I thought it might be nice to get together some gift packs made up of some unique local wines. One to include might be Ciavarella Oxley Estate’s Rosato, which is quite different to the pinker and lighter styles going around. Winemaker Tony Ciavarella says he thinks of it as “Rosé’s big brother”, made from a blend of varieties chosen to give it more presence and
WITH ANITA McPHERSON structure and a touch of soft tannins. It’s a dark garnet color with a jewel like glow, and would be ideal for the regular red drinker who would like something chilled to enjoy with their meal. It still has a fruity strawberry, cherry and softly floral bouquet, but the body and flavor pack a little more punch, with berries, red cherry and a tight, dry finish. I can imagine it with roast pork or turkey while enjoying a hot Aussie Christmas dinner. Tony says it’s also available as part of a summer six pack for a discount, which gives this shopper a reason to be jolly. Available at the cellar door in Oxley or go to www. oxleyestate.com.au.

Cheese twists
Opening of St Patrick’s, 1905 NOVEMBER 19, 1905 was a Sunday, and for Wangaratta’s Catholic community, a day of special significance – the long-awaited opening of St Patrick’s Church. The church had been a dream of one of the early district priests, Fr George Galen. Construction had commenced in 1865, and parts of the church were finished as the years went by, but Fr Galen died in 1869, long before work was completed. In 1905, with the Rev Fr Byrne in charge of the parish, Archbishop Carr performed the opening, in the presence of a crowd of 1000 people.
and puffed. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Prepared unbaked twists suitable to freeze. Not suitable to microwave. Note: Butter puff pastry softens quickly. It may be easier to work with one half of the pastry at a time and keep the other half in the refrigerator until ready to use.

INGREDIENTS
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
THESE crazy cheese twists are so good to have around, you can add mustard or bacon, sprinkle with cayenne pepper or add some herbs to them, try different shapes or just leave them with cheese as a twist. Great for parties or before Christmas lunch. They freeze well uncooked, and only take a few minutes in a hot oven. Method Preheat the oven to hot (220°C).

Weight and your thyroid
Upskilling directors
THE thyroid gland is a part of our endocrine system, which relies on balance, feedback systems and adequate nutritional status. The thyroid has a big job: the hormones it secretes help regulate heart rate, maintain healthy skin, and play a crucial part in metabolism. When the gland is sluggish (also known as hypothyroidism), it can rob you of energy, dry out your skin, make your joints ache, cause weight gain, and kickstart depression. The endocrine system influences fertility, metabolism, immune function, growth and development as well as everyday wellness and health. When an organ of the endocrine system is out of balance it in turn affects the dynamic interrelationship of all or some glands within the endocrine system. Due to this, it is vital that you seek professional help from your healthcare provider. Weight gain associated with hypothyroidism can be contributed by the following: Hormones - an under functioning thyroid gland results in a reduced amount of circulating hormones. Low levels of hormones slow down multiple systems including metabolism, digestion and the ability to
NO matter whether it is a service club, not for profit company limited by guarantee, or a sporting club, it is important that you continue to upskill. Many will ask why do they need to “up-skill” when they have been responsible for running the club for years? The simple answer for me is that directors, new and old, need to know and understand the specific issues relating to their organisations and have an understanding of the regulations, legislation and optimum performance which their organisation works under. Clubs and not for profit entities are more regulated than a lot of business structures. In Victoria we need to comply with legislation including but not limited to: Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012; Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004; and Fair Work Act 2009. If you have a liquor licence and/or gambling machines you also have the Gambling Regulation Act 2003 and Liquor Control Reform Act 1998. In many clubs, the businesses are relatively small compared to those with multi-million dollar turnovers and oversee millions of dollars of community assets. But the question of proper management exists in the smallest of clubs, probably more so where there are no employees. Many directors (board members) may not have the detailed knowledge of corporate governance (applies equally to commercial and not for profit) required to satisfactorily oversee the operations of your club. If you have never been exposed to budgeting (especially cash-flow budgets), strategic planning, work health and safety management and critical risk management, then your input to corporate governance is going to be severely limited. Good corporate governance is not about the price of beer, how much a salad roll on a

burn fat (lose weight). Constipation - the digestive system slows down resulting in constipation, reduced transit time of food, bloating, flatulence and burping. Lethargy - a loss of energy results in people reducing their physical activity. Incorporating exercise increases sensitivity of thyroid hormones making them more available for proper function. Exercise also improves digestive function reducing the above symptoms. Even if your thyroid isn’t working at its best, there are simple diet and lifestyle changes you can make to support its function and/or
the function of medications you may be taking. Easy to implement changes include: eating a palm size piece of lean protein and three handfuls of salad or vegetables with each main meal, incorporating whole grains such as brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat. Maintaining hydration is also key assisting with fat burning and alleviating some of the above symptoms. If you are diagnosed with or suspect an endocrine disease such as hypothyroidism consult your health care professional for anindividualised treatment plan.

kenclarke11@bigpond.com Saturday should cost or how staff behave. In organisations that I am associated with we have appointed people with skills in particular areas from the board of directors who report in writing of their area of responsibility. It is not always that the board will be in agreement with what is reported, but at least the forum is there for all the board to have some input. This is where a strong chairperson can lead debate and the board arrives at an answer. Obviously it is important that you have someone within your organisation that has an understanding of financial matters, but if regular reports are prepared then all directors should have an understanding of where the organisation is headed and they are able to address the situation as it arises. I hear too often about organisations where financial data is not produced regularly (as I have been too busy or the bank statement only arrived yesterday) and quite often “the horse has bolted” and the organisation is in diabolical trouble. As in any trade or profession, the more you know the better you get the job done. Qualified directors understand how they can provide input without taking over the operational side of the organisation, but please if you are asked to join a board be prepared to participate and don’t just accept for the sake of it.
