LOCAL families are opening their homes and their hearts to children in the community who are in need of a safe place to stay for the night, the week or until they’re ready to tackle the adult world. They’re among the 106 households in the North East and the Upper Murray region working with Upper Murray Family Care (UMFC) to provide emergency, respite, short and long term care to kids from birth to their teens. UMFC’s Jeanine Aughey said there is a misconception in the community that carers need to be in a relationship, have had children, or own their own home, but the truth was they could come from all walks of life. She said they could be single, studying, retired or renting, and with the organisation receiving more than 246 referrals in the first six months of this year, new carers were greatly needed. “The greater diversity of carers we have, the more likely we are to be able to find a match to suit the child’s needs and the carer’s circumstances,” she said. Wangaratta resident Tracey Martino has only been involved with the foster care program for the last 18 months but her family is already experiencing the benefits. Tracey offered to care for children aged from birth to seven, because she has three children of her own in the same age group. It’s something she and her husband had thought about even before starting their own family, so when the time was right they decided to give it a go. “I’m at home now with my younger ones and we thought we’d like to somehow give back to the community and help children in need – and there are a lot of them,” she said. continued page |

GROWING your own vegetables from seed is extremely rewarding. It can be fiddly; especially handling and sowing the smaller seeds and getting the spacing right but help is at hand, in the form of seed tape. Seed tape has been available in Australia for about 5 years. It is basically strips of biodegradable paper, similar to toilet paper, impregnated with seeds which are evenly spaced between the sheets. This makes sowing quick and easy and reduces the need for thinning. Seed tape has the added advantage of keeping the seeds position in the soil, even during irrigation and heavy rains. Planting is as simple as preparing the soil, laying the seed tape in a shallow furrow and lightly covering it with soil. Top with a thin layer of mulch, then water well and keep moist until the seedlings emerge. There is a huge variety of seed tape available. It is much cheaper than buying seedlings or established plants. Mr Fothergill’s and Yates have a range of vegetable and herb seed tapes including beetroot, broccoli, carrot, chives, coriander, lettuce, mint, pak choi, parsley, parsnip, radish, rocket, spinach, spring onion and thyme.
WITH DEBBI GIBSON, HORTICULTURALIST
A new release this year is the presown seed mats by Mr Fothergill’s. The Roll ‘n’ Grow garden mats are impregnated with a mix of seed varieties spaced out in straight rows. The mats, which measure 45cm x 200cm, can be rolled out as is or cut to size. The salad vegetable range has beetroot, carrot, lettuce, spring onion and radish. The superfoods range has beetroot, broccoli, kale, rocket and spinach. There is also a cottage flower seed variety with alyssum, forget me not, heartsease Johnny jump up and lobelia crystal palace. Or you could make your own seed tape using seeds of your choice, toilet paper and flour glue, (50/50 plain flour and water). Cut the paper in half lengthways, glue the seeds onto one edge of the toilet paper, spacing appropriately and then fold over along the centre to enclose the seed. When dry label the tape and roll up on a cardboard toilet roll. Happy gardening.

Patella luxation in dogs pain and frustration for the dog. If the luxation is frequent and severe then surgical correction is warranted. There are several surgeries than can be employed, or a combination of these surgeries. Some dogs develop a very shallow patella groove and this needs to be deepened surgically. Most, however, have the quadriceps tendon inserting on the tibia too far to the inner side of the leg. As a result when the quadriceps muscle tightens and the patella ligament is pulled straight the force generated pulls the tendon and patella towards the inner side of the leg and causes it to be popped out of the groove. In these cases surgery to move the insertion of the quadriceps tendon to the correct place is the method adopted. It can be hard to decide whether surgery for a luxating patella is warranted, but a good discussion with a veterinarian who is experienced with the surgical techniques is the best starting point to make the right decision for your dog. Tim Craig BVSc Warby St Veterinary Hospital
THE patella (kneecap) is a small bone within the tendon of the quadriceps muscle in the hind leg. It glides in a U shaped groove on the front of the lower femur and exists to help the tendon run smoothly and straightly on its way to join the front of the upper tibia. This small bone can, however, be dislodged out of this groove either because the groove is too shallow or the alignment of the quadriceps tendon attachment is off to one side. This dislocation or luxation usually happens towards the inner side of the leg and is most common in small breed dogs, especially poodles. Many dogs have a mild form of luxation and tolerate this throughout their life. However, some dogs have more severe luxation that leads to the leg getting locked at times. When the patella dislocates out of the groove it may be hard to get back into the right place without the dog relaxing and straightening its leg out. A dog with a luxated patella may sit down suddenly or walk around with the hind leg in the air for several minutes. Most times it will eventually go back into the groove, but if the problem is repetitive it can cause

COMMITMENT: For almost 10 years Beck Jones has provided a relaxed and stress free environment for young people needing a break. PHOTO: Caitlin Sartori
“The process was easy and we always went into it thinking that if it didn’t work, we’re not obligated to continue. “We thought we’d give it a try and if it doesn’t work or suit our family we won’t continue with it – so there was really nothing to lose.” The first child who came into the family’s care ended up staying for 12 months and Tracey said she fitted into the family really well. “When she arrived she couldn’t talk – they’re sometimes really limited with what they can do – but when she left a year later she was bright, bubbly and talkative – a beautiful young lady,” she said. “To be able to give her that as she goes on for the rest of her life it was amazing.” For almost 10 years now, Beck Jones has been part of the foster care program and last year she provided a safe haven for 27 different children as part of overnight and short term placements.
She’s been offering respite care to adolescent children, who she says can sometimes be the most challenging, but is now providing a permanent home for a 15-yearold girl. Beck said although she was a single mum and working outside the home with three children of her own, she decided to become a foster carer because she felt like she had the room – and the roof – to give another child a home. “I wanted my children to understand that there are people less fortunate and I think it’s helped them to become the kind, caring souls they are today,” she said. “I probably didn’t have the most amazing upbringing myself so I could understand and relate to these children that were deprived of a caring and special home environment.” Beck said as someone who works in childcare, she had seen children suffering from abuse and
neglect in need of a place to stay for the night, and thought it was something she could offer. While she considered giving up her work to care for kids full time, Beck said she enjoyed it too much, and seeing someone getting up and going to work each day has made her a good role model for the teenagers in her care. At home Beck’s aim is to provide a relaxed and stressfree environment where simple pursuits like cooking and gardening are enjoyed together. “I wanted to create a home environment that was therapeutic and inviting for these kids so they can feel good about themselves - and to take their worry away for the weekend,” she said. Upper Murray Family Care is looking for more local people to become foster carers and more information is available by visiting them on Facebook or calling (02) 6055 8042.

SOMETHING TO CATCH: A large European carp caught (and despatched) in the old Lake Mokoan outlet channel directly below the spillway at the Winton Wetlands.
Plenty of water, with fish THE recent rainfall we have received has opened up a number of fishing opportunities around the region. Lake Hume has been fishing steadily for yellowbelly with many anglers catching some nice fish. I would not rate the fishing as red hot as not everybody is catching fish, however, anglers with experience on Lake Hume are catching quite a few. Anglers have been catching yellowbelly from the bank at the Bowna arm, using worms as bait. It’s a similar story at Lake Nillahcootie where a few yellowbelly are being caught, mainly in the shallow water over the flooded margins of the lake. Once again worms have been doing well, and small yabbies
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
are always worth a try in Lake Nillahcootie. Winton Wetlands is full with water now flowing over the spillway at the old Lake Mokoan wall. Below the spillway there are heaps of very large European carp trying to make their way into the wetlands, but they can’t get in. As a result they are banked up below the wall in big numbers and are very easy to hook using worms or corn for bait, but very difficult to land due to the concrete structure.
SUDOKU HARD

This is great fun on light gear, however, there is about an 800 metre walk along the old Lake Mokoan wall to get there. The trout streams are all fishing really well when you can get close enough to the water. The recent rain has seen a consistent flow of high, and flooded water flows in most streams which is making fishing hard. Fishing with a bunch of worms, or a scrub worm right up against the banks has been working well for me. Lure fishing has been working well for me between floods, with bright lures working the best. I have had success on rooster tail spinners in “fire tiger” colour and also a Zerek Minnow in fluorescent yellow colour as the water has been clearing.

DO you suffer from gut related food reactions, or seasonal sinus allergies? If so, ask yourself if during your life you have been a big consumer of simple carbohydrates and sugars? Examples are breads, cereals, cakes, biscuits, and/or simple sugars. It will be very rare that a patient with these symptoms will answer “no”. It is this ‘overconsumption’ of simple carbohydrates and sugars that have been poorly digested over many years that lead to this problem. Allergies are the body’s reaction to something entering via the blood, skin, nasal cavity or other source. When something enters the body in a healthy person, the immune system is called upon to investigate and clear the allergen from the body. Because there are enough enzymes available in a healthy person, the allergen can be cleared easily. In someone with an allergic response to the same substance, the immune system is called to do the same work but

WATCH CONSUMPTION: Over consumption of simple carbohydrates and sugars, including cake, can sometimes fuel digestion or food reaction problems. finds it cannot handle the request. In a person who exhibits an allergic response, there are not enough enzymes available for the white blood cells to break down the allergen and rid the body of it. They then experience the typical histamine response, including reddening of the eyes or skin or gut, heat, runny nose and pain.
Feeling tired after eating. Our body can use up to 80 per cent of its energy just to digest food. When we are busy and eat on the run, our digestive enzymes are stalled and our digestion becomes sluggish. This leads to an after effect of tiredness as your body has to work harder to break down the food for energy and is often accompanied by bloating.

2013 Renaissance Durif Around $50
WITH ANITA McPHERSON flagship wine created by Marc Scalzo was made from fruit grown in only 10 specially selected rows in the vineyard. When poured, you can fully appreciate its deep, dark and mysterious, purple-tinged colour while embracing the heady aroma of spicy fruit. It’s full-bodied and abundant with the richly fruity flavours of plum, blackberry and dark chocolate, but it’s also decidedly savoury with warming, toasty oak. It feels really lush and indulgent in the mouth, making it one to sit, sip and savour. Although it’s not my birthday – tonight it kind of feels like it is.

Snow season winding down
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Floods of 1912 ON September 21, 1912, flood waters in Wangaratta reached a higher mark than the great flood of 1870. The 1870 flood had been particularly serious because of the excessive flooding in the King River. The 1912 flood at Wangaratta was principally Ovens River water, and one of the reasons it was such a serious flood was not necessarily the amount of water coming down the river, but the silt from dredging activities upstream that were impairing the river’s flow.

IT can be easy to get into the habit of waiting for a special occasion to make the most of all your favourite things. There is a tendency to save those expensive chocolates until someone special visits, wait for a wedding to wear spectacular shoes, or wish for a birthday before opening that special wine. But anyone who had grandparents who kept their china for best and rarely ventured into the “good room”, knows things tend to sit and gather dust if you don’t enjoy them. The saying goes that the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry, so now and then it’s important to seize the day and act like there’s no tomorrow.

TECH AND SCIENCE
From zero to one and back again WITH CHRIS FEBVRE, NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER cfebvre@nemedia.com.au
THE history of invention is a funny thing. Seldom can the inventors of a particular technology truly envisage the impact their breakthrough will have on the world. The inventor of the wheel couldn’t possibly have fathomed that their bright innovation would one day give rise to the automobile. For that matter, Karl Benz likely never truly understood the impact his first automobile would have on the world, just as Edison probably didn’t picture his invention one day being used for light shows to entertain intoxicated people at a rave party. And occasionally there are those inventions that completely transform the world yet almost go unnoticed by the greater population. One particular invention comes to mind. Without it, a modern day computer would take up more than 20 square miles (at a conservative estimate), require more power to run than power plants can feasibly produce, and run so hot that it would incinerate anyone who got close to it, which all sounds fairly impractical, if you ask me. Aside from personal computers, modern medical equipment simply wouldn’t exist, gps would
BRAINS OF THE OUTFIT: (Above) A modern day microprocessor and (left) ENIAC was the first electronic general-purpose computer. It was ‘Turing-complete’, digital, and could solve “ a large class of numerical problems” through reprogramming - February 1946. be a pipedream, and our ability to manufacture on the scale that we now do would be severely diminished. In fact, it’s fairly safe to say that almost every facet of modern day civilisation rests upon an invention we barely give a passing thought toward, and most people would probably not be able to accurately describe. Have you guessed what it might be? If you guessed that it was the transistor, you’re bang on. So what is a transistor? In simplest terms, a transistor is a semiconductor made of silicon and is used to amplify or switch electrical current. In computers, a transistor is primarily used as an ‘on’ or ‘off ’ switch, or in computer language terms, a ‘zero’ or ‘one’ state.

Using a series of transistors allows engineers to create something called a ‘logic gate’ using a mathematical process called Boolean algebra. In essence, this is the process that allows a computer to ‘think’ by comparing the states of a cluster of transistors (either on or off ), and producing an output. Remarkably, our brains function very similarly, and we make decisions in much the same way. If you are like me, you essentially have two types of days, either workdays or weekends. When you wake up in the morning, you’ll make a decision. You’ll either go to work, or you won’t, depending on the day, and your brain will have made a simple decision that a computer would require one transistor for. But things get more complicated
when we add in more variables. Say we wake up in the morning and it’s a work day. In addition, we also take into consideration the weather, and based on that, we might walk with an umbrella, take out car, or just decide to get soggy and wet. We might have coffee, tea, orange juice, or not have a drink at all. The point being, the more factors we add on, the more brain power we need, and the more transistors a computer would require in order to calculate the decision. To give you some indication, the first fully transistorised computer contained seven hundred transistors, these days the most modern cpus contain more than two billion transistors which are measured on a nanoscale. Prior to the invention of the transistor in 1947 at Bell Labs in
the United States, computers and other devices used vacuum tubes to perform essentially the same function. The problem with vacuum tubes were that they were fragile, power hungry and large. The first general purpose computer using vacuum tubes occupied a space of 167 metres squared, weighed 30 tons, and broke down almost on a daily basis, forcing engineers to locate and replace one burnt out vacuum tube amidst the 18,000 it used to operate. These days we get impatient if a website takes more than a second or two to load. So the next time you’re using your smartphone or computer, spare a thought for those little mites inside your devices. Without them, our modern world would not exist.
