FOR children caught in the middle of family upheaval, abuse or neglect, a friendly face or a quiet space are among the things that can help them rest and begin to heal. One such local friendly face is Lisa Detlefsen, who has been a regular foster carer for Upper Murray Family Care (UMFC) for around a year. A teacher, she said she decided to become involved in foster care as way to help support kids “who have a hard start in life” and care for children. “I got into it because I knew I could provide a nice safe place,” she said. Since she has been a foster carer, Lisa estimates that she has cared for 11 different children in total, aged between 12 months and eight years old. She has also taken on different kinds of care, from respite to short term and longer stays, and she said that while foster care is not without its challenges, it is ultimately rewarding. “The little ones need more physical support, while the older ones need more emotional support,” Lisa said. “They’re just little kids who need a safe space. “It doesn’t take them long to settle in. “They want to be kids playing, same as everybody else.” Her comfortable home is a haven for children in need, with a spare bedroom kept aside for them to sleep, a sunny yard and a small litter of guinea pigs she cares for. Lisa remarked that the guinea pigs were often a therapeutic focal point for children staying with her, as they could play with them and talk to them. When children are in her care, Lisa lets them play or spends time with them doing simple things, and said that having a simple routine often helps the children as well. In all, she said the children being with family matters the most. continued page |

Aussie shout in doubt THE idea of buying rounds of drinks sounds like a good idea in theory, but according to a survey by industry super fund-owned bank ME, ‘shout doubt’ is very real for many Australians – and it can have a real impact on your bank balance. The research showed while 85 per cent of us participate in buying rounds of drinks, 81 per cent would rather buy their own. ME’s ‘Whose Shout?’ survey showed more than half of Aussies think shouts are unfair, ending in us spending more: t QFS DFOU TBZ UIFZ TQFOE NPSF UIBO UIFZ otherwise would when involved in a shout t QFS DFOU UIJOL JU T VOGBJS BT TPNFPOF always spends more or less than others t "T BO BTJEF QFS DFOU BMTP UIJOL UIFZ drink more than they would otherwise when involved in a shout. t "OE XIFO JU DPNFT UP DPTUJOH VT NPSF Aussies feel they aren’t getting a fair dinkum go at the pub: t QFS DFOU CFMJFWF TIPVUJOH B SPVOE GPSDFT them to buy more expensive drinks for their mates t QFS DFOU SFDLPO UIF ESJOLT UIFZ CVZ don’t get bought back. Half of Australians also see the system as a way their stingy mates can get off scot-free, with 50 per cent claiming they know someone who consistently fails to return a shout – it’s no wonder so many think the system is broken.
So why does the system survive? The answer is social pressure. Only 23 per cent felt comfortable opting out of a shout, with social pressures including: t 'FFMJOH FYQFDUFE UP QBSUJDJQBUF QFS cent) t /PU XBOUJOH UP MPPL UJHIU XJUI NPOFZ per cent) t 5IJOLJOH JU XPVME BQQFBS VO "VTUSBMJBO UP SFGVTF QFS DFOU ME money expert, Matthew Read, said ‘shout doubt’ was a feeling most Aussies could relate to. “I’m sure most of us have a colourful story to tell about a round of drinks – whether it’s someone sneakily ordering a $20 cocktail when everyone’s sharing a jug of beer, or that friend who always manages to miss their shout. “Social and emotional pressures can play a big part in our spending and saving habits. “Behavioural economics shows us we often act irrationally when it comes to money, so it’s good to be aware of those pressures. “If you don’t want to be in the shout – say so. “Chances are most of your friends will think similarly. “You’ll probably save a bit and drink less. “But on the other hand, sometimes shouting is the right thing to do if you’re with mates you can trust to repay the favour. “Choose your moments,� said Mr Read.
WITH DEBBI GIBSON, HORTICULTURALIST
◆ NATIVE: Grevillea ‘Dorothy Gordon’ is a large new australian shrub which bears mauve blooms for most of the year to attract honey eaters, birds and possums. Flowers are useful for floral arrangements.
The Australian native garden IF you have an interest in growing Australian native plants, then “The Australian native garden - a practical guide� written by Angus Stewart and AB Bishop is a must read. Angus is credited as being Australia’s leading native plant expert having spent a lifetime working with and breeding Australian plants. He is a presenter on ABC TV’s Gardening Australia, while AB Bishop is a horticulturist and researcher for the same program. As Angus states, “Native plants have come of age, and they are now regarded as a mainstream part of our urban landscape. “Once I had chosen horticulture as my career path, I decided to focus on creating more Australian plant cultivars that would be as reliable in the garden as their exotic cousins.� The book features practical advice on all aspects of growing Australian native plants in the home garden. It has information on selecting the right plants for your climate, incorporating native varieties into an existing garden and planting to attract wildlife into your garden. There is detailed advice on growing bush foods and creating drought tolerant
and fire resistant gardens. It shows how to plan and create a thriving garden with practical tips on different garden styles, design, layout and structure. It covers soil requirements, planting techniques, propagation and maintenance. There is also a section on identifying pest and diseases and techniques to control them. With nearly 300 pages, there are many beautiful glossy photographs of plants and over 50 pages featuring established gardens with a range of landscape styles that can be adapted to any garden. It has a comprehensive list of native plant cultivars, with photographs and information about each plant, including growth habits and requirements, flowering characteristics, and frost and salt tolerance. There is also a state by state list of native plant nurseries, including ones offering mail order. This book offers a wealth of knowledge and advice, and highlights the beauty and versatility of Australia’s amazing native plants. Thanks to the Wangaratta Library for the loan of this book to review. Happy gardening.

Plaque in dogs’ teeth ACCORDING to pet food supplier Royal Canin, around 85 per cent of dogs over three years old have significant dental disease. If left unchecked, dental disease can end up causing significant health problems for a dog. Ideally, the best way to avoid problems like these is to invest in a small amount of preventative care to reduce tartar build-up and stop bacterial infections of the gums. There are many options available to owners to proactively improve the oral health of their dogs. There are also several ways that dog owners can help prevent the build-up of plaque in the first place. Dogs develop plaque on their teeth when saliva, food particles and bacteria come together. If left untreated, this plaque combines with minerals in the mouth to become hard tartar that will eventually cause decay, gum disease and other ongoing oral health issues. Tartar that has built up over time is hard and has to be removed by a vet with specialised equipment. To prevent your dog’s dental health getting to this point, there are techniques you can use to remove any plaque that has started to form and stop any more developing. Giving your dog’s teeth a regular
brush is a great way to prevent plaque build-up. Make sure to use toothpaste specifically designed for dogs and never use your own toothpaste, as it contains ingredients which can upset your dog’s digestion. If your dog isn’t already used to the idea of getting their teeth brushed, it is unlikely they will accept the experience straight away, so you’ll need to ease into it over time. Start by using your finger to rub the top and bottom of their teeth and gums. Once they’re used to that, you can slowly begin to introduce a toothbrush. However, make sure you allow your dog to adapt at their own pace. Slowly build up the amount of time spent brushing, gradually introduce a toothbrush into the routine and only begin really cleaning your dog’s teeth and gums properly once they are comfortable with the process. Ideally, you should brush your dog’s teeth daily or weekly. Also, be sure to brush over your dog’s gum line, as this is where plaque and tartar stick. Another excellent way to combat plaque is to give your dog dental treats that can help loosen plaque and remove debris as they chew. A change in diet to a formula
specifically catered to dogs prone to dental health issues can also be a great way to clean your dog’s teeth – especially when they are still getting used to daily teeth brushing. Specialised formulas, including those produced by Royal Canin, reduce the build-up of plaque and tartar due to the kibble’s texture having a brushing effect on their teeth. If you’re finding that you’re unable to solve your dog’s problem with plaque and tartar build-up, it’s a good idea to visit your vet for advice and further treatment. Your vet can check your dog’s teeth and provide an oral care and dietary program. If needed, vets also offer comprehensive care for dental issues including teeth polishing and ultrasonic de-scaling. They can also perform more advanced treatments including surgical intervention. Check with your vet to find out the best ways to improve your dog’s individual dental health and management strategies.

“The primary goal is for them to be back home,� Lisa said. “I get satisfaction in knowing that I’ve helped someone. “It’s just really fun to have [children] with me, because they’re really sweet. “They’re really resilient and inspiring.� She urged those considering foster care to get in touch with UMFC, saying that the organisation welcomed carers from all walks of life. UMFC, who currently have 80 active carers in the region and see an average of 30 referrals a month, need carers and are happy to hear from anyone interested in fulfilling a foster care role. “People think if they work, or don’t have children of their own, have a dog, live on a farm, or rent their home that these are hurdles – none of these are,� said Jeanine
Aughey (recruitment, assessment and training foster care at UMFC. “Currently we are experiencing a demand for carers to support sibling groups. “We are looking for carers who are willing to care for multiple children from the same family to prevent them from being separated. “Children being separated from their siblings can add to their experience of loss and grief.� Even if you don’t think foster care is for you, Jeanine urged the public to consider donating to Trust in Kids, an organisation that provides financial support for children in foster care.

◆ COLOURFUL CATCH: A small rainbow trout caught on a soft plastic in a tributary of the Kiewa River last week.
Great weather for fishing THE great fishing has continued around North East Victoria over the last week and things will continue to get even better with this magnificent sunshine that we are experiencing. Last week I fished a small tributary of the Kiewa River where I found the trout fishing to be fantastic. I landed and released eight trout on a combination of micro spoon lures and minnow lures, and lost a few others as well. I had a fantastic report of more than 20 trout being caught (and most released) in the upper reaches of the Snowy Creek above Mitta Mitta on worms, with one trout weighing over 1kg. Apparently wading is quite hazardous up there at the moment, and although the fish are biting, care needs to be

taken when wading. Lake Hume has started producing a few redfin and yellowbelly. The fishing has not been red hot, but it is a start and will only get better as the weather warms up. Try fishing around rocky outcrops that may be baking in the sun. Lake Moodemere continues to fish well for carp, with the odd redfin and yellowbelly being landed. As with Lake Hume, this should only get better as the weather warms up. I have not had any reports from Lake Nillahcootie, but this is the time of the

year when Nillahcootie starts to fish well. The increased sunshine and warming water temps usually fire the resident yellowbelly up. Although I have not heard any reports I think it would be well worth a visit to Lake Nillahcootie at the moment to drown a few yabbies and worms. There’s only one way to find out whether the yella’s have started biting, and that is to go and try. The highlight of my week was being lucky enough to see two platypuses swimming around in a circle, biting each other on the tail as a part of their mating ritual. That was amazing! You can see the video on YouTube by searching my channel ‘robbiefishing’ and the video is called “The things you see when you’re fishing”.

Grilled chicken, tomato and bocconcini salad
WITH ANITA McPHERSON
Their version is has a light and bright, raspberry colour and a delicious aroma that’s vibrant with cherry and a hint of rose. The flavour is all about delicate red fruits and dry earthiness, and with just a lilt of spice, it makes a perfect wine to enjoy with duck or roasted quail. It’s one to spend a little time sipping and getting to grips with, savouring its sensory appeal, which just might make it hard to want to hit the road again. The valley is a great place to go in search of Nebbiolo – it just might take more than one visit. Try the range at the cellar door in Cheshunt or go to www.chrismont.com.au
THIS recipe from Dairy Australia is an ideal lunch or evening meal as the weather begins to warm up, and is also good for entertaining. For more recipes like this see www.legendairy.com.au. Method Season chicken with salt and pepper and grill on a barbecue or hot griddle pan for 5-10 minutes or until cooked through. Keep warm. Cook the asparagus in the pan or BBQ until tender, then cut into short lengths. Arrange asparagus, cherry tomatoes, bocconcini on a serving plate. Cut the chicken into slices and add to salad with basil leaves. Make dressing by combining all ingredients and season to taste. Pour over salad and serve immediately.
Salad > 500gm chicken breast or tenderloins > Salt and pepper, to taste > 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed > 1 punnet yellow cherry tomatoes, halved > 200gm punnet red cherry tomatoes, halved in > 220gm tub bocconcini, torn half > 1/4 cup loosely packed baby basil leaves Dressing > 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar > 3 teaspoons wholegrain mustard > 1 teaspoon honey or sugar > 1/3 cup olive oil > Salt and pepper, to taste

INGREDIENTS
THERE is no doubt we are spoiled for choice when it comes to the range of interesting wine varieties to be found in the North East region. It’s such an expansive area geographically that there are all kinds of unique microclimates and terrains encompassed within the region. Just like some of us prefer to rug up in the coolness at altitude while others prefer basking in the heat of the summer sun, so grapes seem quite particular about where they live and grow. So it makes sense to narrow down your search a little when on the tasting trail and perhaps concentrate on variety that’s really happy to call your destination home. Nebbiolo is an Italian variety known to be fussy, that loves living in the King Valley and a good place to start sampling it is at Chrismont Wines.

Fake news, free speech and Facebook WITH CHRIS FEBVRE,
NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER cfebvre@nemedia.com.au
IN WHAT can only be described as a stunning level of ‘doublethink’, Hillary Clinton has radically misinterpreted the message behind George Orwell’s classic novel ‘1984’. In her recent bestselling memoir ‘What Happened’, the former U.S. presidential candidate opined that the takeaway message of the dystopian science-fiction novel was that the public should place its faith in leaders, the press, and experts. “Attempting to define reality is a core feature of authoritarianism. This is what the Soviets did when they erased political dissidents from historical photos,” said Clinton. “This is what happens in George Orwell’s classic novel Nineteen EightyFour, when a torturer holds up four fingers and delivers electric shocks until his prisoner sees five fingers as ordered.” “The goal is to make you question logic and reason and to sow mistrust toward exactly the people we need to rely on: our leaders, the press, experts who seek to guide public policy based on evidence, ourselves.” She then goes on to point the proverbial non-existent fifth finger squarely at her political opponent, current U.S. President Donald Trump, claiming that his administration is in fact the real-life personification of Orwell’s authoritarian nightmare regime ‘Big Brother’. Or perhaps she meant Trump was Winston Smith, the sympathetic protagonist in ‘1984’

who was sowing all that horrible mistrust against the ‘wonderful’ establishment. With an interpretation so egregiously erroneous, it’s difficult to say exactly what her point was. I bring this subject up not so much to weigh in on any specifics of the global political climate, but to raise an important concerns about the new platforms on which such discussions take place, and how those platforms colour and shape such discussions. Social media and the web are now the dominant source from which people receive information from and about politicians and political parties, with Pew Research having
found that 62 per cent of U.S. adults receive their news from sources such as Twitter and Facebook. And it is an undisputed fact that, in the age of the internet, the general population is far more informed than any previous generation in the history of humanity. But due to the manner in which search engines such as Google, and social media platforms like Facebook disseminate information to users, most of us are far more susceptible to ‘ideological filter bubbles’. First and forefront in your social media feeds is the information these big company’s algorithms think you want to see due to the profile they have created about you, and
the people you have added to your social media circles. In addition to this, one of the more damaging concepts, in my opinion, to come out of recent political battles both nationally and abroad is the notion of ‘fake news’. The term was bandied about by both major political parties in the U.S. election, and promulgated by mainstream media outlets. Criticism of political candidates was ‘fake news’ and not to be trusted, and culminated, according to Hillary Clinton in post election speech in December last year, in bipartisan appeals to Silicon Valley to develop means and methods to clamp down on ‘falsities’ being spread online.
This crusade reached our shores last month, with Facebook’s News Feed Chief Adam Mosseri coming to speak to Australian media about the social media platforms new tools to combat ‘fake news’, among other topics. In summary, here is the situation as it stands. Political contests that determine the fate of nations now take place on giant, corporate, social media platforms that readily gather and distribute information about you, and politicians have not only greenlit, but demanded that these platforms be the arbiters of the ‘truth’ you receive. So the question is, how much do you trust Big Brother?
