Chasing waterfalls By KYLIE WILSON IT is less than 20 kilometres from the heart of Wangaratta, but when you sit below the looming and craggy rocks and listen to the rushing water of Brien’s Gorge Falls, it feels like another world away. The water rushes down over the rugged hillside before seeming to disappear into an underground spring, while tall trees and foliage surround you in this little pocket of the park. Located at Warby-Ovens National Park, at the foot of the Warby Range, the waterfall is just one of several in the area which Parks Victoria district manager Dan McLaughlin said has been brought to life. Other main waterfalls in the park include Pine Gully and Salisbury Falls, and Mr McLaughlin said that with the winter rains this year having been heavier than they have been for many years, many falls have been flowing nicely and are expected to flow at least until summer. He said rain has also seen water flows in many dormant gullies and creeks. “The rain over winter is really important for the area and provides refuge for animals over summer, particularly for kangaroos and wallabies,” Mr McLaughlin said. He has been with Parks Victoria for around 12 years and said he relishes being able to work in the diverse outdoor environments of the North East. “Being out in nature is a fantastic bonus of the job,” he said. “There’s something special about the Warby Range. “We don’t notice how awesome these things are on our own doorstep.”

Repotting container plants
WITH CHRIS FEBVRE, NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER

BUST A MOVE: The NAO Robot cutting the rug to Gangnam Style was just one of the many highlights at Galen Catholic College’s STEM Expo.
STEM expo a huge success EVER get the feeling like you’re a kid in a toy shop? That’s how I felt at Galen’s STEM Expo, and I take my hat off to Marie Timms and the staff at Galen who helped organise the event. It was the first of its kind at the college and I think it’s more than fair to say it was a huge success. The students all seemed to be having an absolute blast and the representatives from the universities and tech companies were all very enthusiastic and informative. One of the displays that particularly grabbed my attention was Swinburne University’s code teaching tool - the NAO robot, who was programmed to do the ‘Gangnam Style’ dance (which was absolutely hilarious, and excellently demonstrated the degree to which you can program the bots). Another was the Auggd App - an application that, through the use of smartphone or tablet cameras, creates a variety of surreal virtual reality experiences that I could see absolutely revolutionising the multimedia industry in the coming years.
I also learned a thing or two about hydroponic gardens at one of GOTAFE’s displays, and I absolutely want to try growing some hydroponic veggies myself now. And I had a good chat to Sam McDonald, an engineering student from LaTrobe university, who has done some incredible work. One of his pieces was a 3D printed prosthetic hand that was able to sense muscular movement and respond accordingly. Yep, a cyborg hand, basically. Very, very cool, Sam. When he starts building Iron Man suits, I’ll be queuing up to get one. Given the renewed enthusiam and emphasis for the STEM fields on an international scale, it’s really great to see one of our local schools taking such initiative and bringing such opportunities to students who might well be inspired to take up a career in the science or technology fields. I’m definitely looking forward to the next one.
WITH only a few days to go until spring, treat your potted plants to a spring makeover this week and give them a new lease on life. Wash the outside of the container, weed and fertilise or pot up to the next size container. Late winter into early spring is the ideal time to repot container plants as conditions are warming up ensuring new fresh growth. Generally, most plants will need to be repotted every two years. This is mainly due to tired or spent soil. The soil literally runs out of nutrients, having been taken up by the plant or leeched out. The soil can become powdery or shrink away from the edges of the pot and become water repellent. This in turn affects the general health of the plant which may develop yellow leaves and have little or no signs of growth. Generally, only pot up one size larger, because if the pot is too big for the plant, the plants roots are not able to absorb all the moisture after watering and may rot. The soil will stay too wet for too long leading to the development of bacteria, fungus and diseases. Always use a premium quality potting mix, which is identified by the Standards Australia black ticks on the bag. These contain composted media with added soil
WITH DEBBI GIBSON, HORTICULTURALIST
conditioners, wetting agents and slow release fertilisers. There are various mixes available which are suited to a range of plants. Remove the plant from the pot. Larger pots can be turned on their sides to remove a plant. Sometimes the plant can be root bound and hard to remove. Cut any roots protruding from the drainage holes and around the inside edges of the pot. It may be necessary to break the pot. Before replanting, slit through the sides and bottom of the rootball to encourage the roots to branch out into the new soil. Partially fill the pot with potting mix so the plant sits at the correct level. Centre the plant then fill the pot with mix to about 3cm from the top. Water well and enjoy. Happy gardening.

Anal glands: an aroma issue IF your pet seems to be exhibiting behavioural changes such as ‘scooting’ its bottom, tail chasing or licking excessively around its tail and anus, these are signs that your cat or dog may have a problem with its anal glands. More often than not owners interpret these signs as a potential worm infestation, this is not necessarily the case. The jury is out in regards to the exact purpose for anal glands, but the general consensus is, they exude a semi-liquid smelly material when the animal defecates to leave a ‘message’ for other animals, a kind of ‘calling card’ if you like. Notoriously, a pungent odour is omitted by the skunk; thankfully our cats’ and dogs’ smells aren’t quite as strong. Anal glands are two small sac like structures, located just inside the rectum. Problems associated with anal glands include impaction, infection, abscess and tumours.
Impaction occurs when the duct or tube through which the sac empties becomes clogged. Pressure builds in the sac and on surrounding tissue, resulting in painful defecation, and in some cases constipation. Bacterial infections cause damage resulting in pain, itchiness and inflammation. Left untreated an anal gland infection can abscess. Pain associated with the abscess can become intense as pressure and inflammation increase. If the problem is left untreated the abscess could rupture and drain through the skin. This may temporarily relieve the pain but the condition will reoccur. If the abscess drains into deeper tissue, the situation becomes much worse. For some dogs, and even some cats, anal sac disease becomes severe, repeated and persistent experience in these cases, the most humane, efficient and cost
effective treatment is surgical removal of the anal glands. Ensuring your pet receives a good quality diet, containing sufficient amounts of fibre, can help avoid anal gland impaction. As soon as you notice any issues with your pets’ rear end its’ better to get it checked out at your local vet as soon as possible, to try and avoid a painful abscess forming.

JUST MAGICAL: Brien Gorge waterfall is flowing well after recent heavy rains.
Mr McLaughlin said people visiting local waterfalls, or the Warby-Ovens National Park in general, can enjoy the chance to keep an eye out for a range of local wildlife and fauna, from non-venomous and endangered carpet pythons to box ironbark and grass trees, and birds such as turquoise parrots and sometimes the regent honeyeater. Kangaroos and wallabies are also frequently seen in the park. Mr McLaughlin said that local lookouts were also a great place to take in the sights of the local area, particularly Ryan’s Lookout, Kwat Kwat Lookout and the Pangerang Lookout. He said that the wider area of the North East also boasted a number of picturesque waterfalls, including Woolshed Falls near Beechworth and

Big snow weekend THIS week sees some big events and, of course, the usual snow fun at local alpine destinations. One of the biggest events of the year in Falls Creek is the Kangaroo Hoppet, and crowds of participants and spectators alike are expected to head to the mountain this Saturday for the race, which is celebrating 26 years of cross country ski action this year. Over 1000 cross country skiers are expected to participate in the race, which brings together a worldwide network of ski enthusiasts. More information on the Kangaroo Hoppet is available on www.hoppet.com.au. Female skiers of all abilities are also set to take part in the Mim Sodergren Women’s Three Day Ski Program, which includes comprehensive instruction and plenty of fun as participants work on their ski skills. Saturday, August 27 also includes the Australian Birkebeiner race, which is ideal for those who want to compete but are not quite ready for the Kangaroo Hoppet, and the Joey Hoppet, ideal for younger skiers.
At Mt Hotham, August 25-28 sees the Ski Aspen event, a weekend of skiing and socialising as a taste of the Ski Aspen experience on the mountain. Tuesday, August 30 at Mt Hotham sees the beginning of the FIS ANC Skier-X and SBX Finals, which continue until Friday, September 2. Mt Buller will play host to the Australian Snow Unigames on Tuesday, August 30, and more information on the games can be found at www.snowunigames.com.au. Mt Buffalo continues to offer fun mountain and snow activities for all the family.

CONSTIPATION is a common disorder in children that can lead into a lifetime of “normalâ€? bowel motions (BM) being large, hard and passed once a week if that. This is not “normalâ€? nor is it healthy. Bowel motions should occur daily, be easy to pass and have minimal odour to them. They should be a decent sized “logâ€?, and there should be no blood, mucous or pain associated with the motion. Constipation and over the counter treatments such as laxatives, if used too often can lead to a lazy bowel and result in the rectum becoming stretched and allows a large amount of faecal matter to accumulate there and results in accidents leaving the child embarrassed.

WINE TALK
IN MY KITCHEN
Ciavarella Oxley Estate
Beef, chilli and potato empanadas with tomato relish
Shiraz Viognier Around $25
WITH ANITA McPHERSON vibrant and fruity aroma of ripe berries and a hint of violet-like blossom from that Viogner. The fruity flavour is quite delicious – the smooth and silky mouthfeel just enhancing the intensity of the blackcurrant fruit. Tony Ciavarella said the wine has been awarded 92 points in James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion, highlighted as being great value for money, which is always a bonus. We enjoyed it with a few good cheeses, but it could be easily taken along to one of those restaurants she is now able to walk to. That’s one big plus for living in the city. Available from the cellar door in Oxley or visit www. oxleyestate.com.au.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Chiltern Standard, 1859 THE infant settlement of Chiltern was only months old when it was able to boast a newspaper of its own and a population of 7000. The Chiltern Standard was quick to begin a war of words with Beechworth, including criticising the mail being routed through Beechworth when they said it would be much more efficient to come through Wangaratta. Within a year, it had changed its name to The Federal Standard, signalling an end to parochial thinking.
Method 1. To cook the empanada filling, heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and stir occasionally for about six minutes until golden. Add the mince and brown well, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl. Add the potato to the pan and stir occasionally until browned and almost tender. 2. Stir in the spices before returning mince to the pan along with peas. Season the mixture to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. After this, refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow it to completely chill, and then stir through the herbs. 3. To prepare the tomato relish, finely chop the onion, garlic and chilli in a food processor. Heat one and a half tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat, before adding the onion mixture. Cook until tender, and then add paprika and tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and simmer for eight minutes until reduced. Stir through the vinegar and sugar and simmer for another minute. Serve warm or at room temperature and store in a sealed container in the fridge. 4. To cook the empanada, preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut out 10cm rounds from the pastry and spoon a little beef filling in the centre of each. Brush edges of the pastry with the lightly beaten egg. Fold over to form a half-moon and then press the edges to seal, crimping the pastry with your fingers as you go. Finish by sealing the pastry with a fork. 5. Once prepared, place the empanadas on a baking tray lined with baking paper. To finish, brush the pastry with extra egg wash and season to taste with salt and pepper, and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown and puffed. If you prefer not to cook straight away, the empanadas can be refrigerated for a few hours prior to baking. To serve, ensure pastry is hot, and plate up with the tomato relish.

MY sister has just swapped her home in the suburbs for a terrace house in inner city Melbourne. It means there is no more lawn to mow, pool to clean or even car to wash, as commuting is done by public transport, bicycle or a car share app. She’s traded backyard barbecues for pubs and restaurants on every corner, and life at home is now strictly indoors with an outdoor area too small to swing a cat. It’s like returning to a singles’ lifestyle after raising the family and she’s loving every minute of it, which goes to show just how two people can have everything in common yet be totally different. What we do share is a love of talking and drinking red wine, usually at the same time, so she really appreciated the Oxley Estate Shiraz Viogner.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE
Customer attitudes and the effect on business UNDERSTANDING the differences between ‘consumer attitudes’ and ‘community attitudes’ in Australia was discussed at a recent forum for the agricultural industry. Customers shop at your shop some of the time, clients shop all of the time, and advocates tell relatives and friends about the service they receive in your shop. The forum was given details of an in-depth consumer qualitative report, which uncovered the hidden depths of values consumers bring to their purchasing habits and the results are of vital importance to the entire agricultural supply chain from the producers to the retail shop. What do consumers include in their notion of ’trust’, ‘buying local’ and ‘ethical purchasing’; and as well as the differences between their perceptions and knowledge of the agricultural industry and its practices? Dr Heather Bray of the
By KEN CLARKE, WANGARATTA CERTIFIED PRACTICING ACCOUNTANT
kenclarke11@bigpond.com University of Adelaide said that in terms of perceptions, Australians overwhelmingly believe that farmers produce safe, clean food; that they indulge in sustainable farming practices and that they are concerned about animal welfare. “People are very supportive of what farmers are doing…around 77 per cent of respondents to a detailed study believe that farmers are making a good contribution to Australian society, that they are carers of livestock and are educated about agriculture, essentially that farmers are doing a good job,” she said.
“Additionally, in terms of trust, farmers are the most trusted people within the food system with the least trusted being politicians, media and retailers.” According to Dr Bray, the idea of value-based communication is becoming more and more important and researchers are now beginning to uncover how people in Australia actually act on the values they form. Ethical choices that consumers are making are those that consider a moral ‘other’. Issues such as ‘fair trade’, ‘animal welfare’ are therefore, purchases that take into consideration factors other than their own self-interest at the retail point. “People still choose foods that are marketed as having some kind of ethical quality such as ethical production but they also include notions that may have nothing at all to do with ethics such as taste, nutritional profile, freshness, health,

food safety and/or price,” Dr Bray said. Her research also demonstrated that ‘buying local’ is another factor that depends on the individual’s interpretation. It is formally defined as the idea that people can minimise the impact of their purchase on the environment and reduce their carbon footprint. But in fact, consumers can use the issue of buying local as a proxy for food safety or for parochial reasons such as supporting local businesses and the conceived idea we have as consumers that Australian produced food means safety, while overseas produced food is not safe. Consumers will therefore, buy labels they “trust” and can imbue those products with a perception they are of a better quality, animal welfare, taste, health and safety whether or not these exist in reality in the product. Consumers are also obsessed
with the diets of farm animals and now consider factors such as antibiotics, hormone free, chemical free and natural feed as very important in their purchasing choices. “In summary, the idea that consumers are trying to change production in their purchasing is actually too narrow a view,” Dr Bray said. Research is now uncovering that consumers are making purchases based on using key issues as a proxy for a whole range of other things that are important to them and are not necessarily related to actual knowledge or what we expect is the definition of ideas such as local. Go and talk to your butcher, baker or candle stick maker and see what they have to say about ‘buying local’, and I am sure they will have plenty to tell you. But I sometimes wonder if ‘shop local’ is possible.
