MANY people think of art as something that is worked on gradually over a period of time, but an activity taking place during the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz is set to challenge that perception and portray jazz in a whole new light. This year’s festival will see a host of local artists participating in the Paint Presto program, which will see them create new jazz inspired works and exhibit them, all in the space of one weekend. Among the artists looking forward to taking part in the Paint Presto program during the festival is King Valley based artist Michael Ashby. “We can do anything while the bands are playing,” Mr Ashby said. “It serves to look at Wangaratta and district in a different way. “It’s a great idea.” Mr Ashby, whose preferred medium is oils, said the Paint Presto initiative is reminiscent of public places in Europe, where artists will sit and paint the landscape or the people passing by. And he is looking forward to seeing how each artist involved will interpret the sights, sounds and atmosphere of Wangaratta’s biggest festival. A North East resident since 2009, he has become highly involved in the local art scene, including being one of the organisers of the annual King Valley Art Show. “It’s a very friendly scene, and we’re quite proud of the King Valley Art Show,” he said. Paint Presto, initiated by local artist and art educator Janet Leith, was inspired by visits Ms Leith made to Glasgow and Amsterdam, and seeing artists work in public there. The weekend’s schedule will see registered artists locate themselves throughout Wangaratta, at performances and public spaces between 11am-6pm on Saturday, to draw and paint their own interpretation of what they are hearing. continued page |

Approaching retirement finances with confidence not confusion AUSTRALIA’S maturing superannuation system is entering a new phase as workers who have earned super for most of their working lives start preparing for retirement. “We need to show super fund members how they can make the most of their super by turning it into a regular income stream to create a financially stable retirement,� said David Whiteley, chief executive of Industry Super Australia. “Many people still pull their super out when they first retire and for some this might be the right strategy. “What many people might not realise is that they can turn their super into a regular income with their Industry SuperFund. “They can use this to top up what they might get from the government pension, while the balance continues to work hard and get investment returns. “Millions of baby boomers are set to retire in the next decade and
are expected to live well into their 80s or 90s, so it’s really important to create a sustainable financial plan that will go the distance.� Mr Whiteley says retirement pitfalls to avoid include: t 6OEFSFTUJNBUJOH UIF BNPVOU your super could deliver in a regular income stream. t 1BSLJOH TVQFS JO B CBOL EFQPTJU with low interest rates. t 5SBOTGFSSJOH TVQFS JOUP B retirement product with high fees or poor net performance, with the typical performance differences after fees between Industry SuperFunds and retail funds evident in retirement products. “After a lifetime of working and saving hard, it’s now crucial that we educate Australians about maximising their retirement income by continuing to keep their super in good hands,� said Mr Whiteley.

Growing Sunflowers ADD a touch of sunshine to your garden by planting sunflowers. These hardy annuals, native to South and Central America, are easy to grow from seed and can be sown in spring and early summer, after the last frosts. Sunflowers are known for their bright yellow flowers but also come in other colours from white and cream, pale yellow to bright orange, red and bronze. They vary in form, with single and double flower blooms and single or multiple flower heads. Cultivars range in size from dwarfs which grow to less than a metre, to giants that can grow to over 4.5m. The current world record for the tallest sunflower is 7.76 metres. Sunflowers grow from seed and don’t like being transplanted, so sow them directly in the ground in the desired position. They need a fertile well-draining soil in a sunny position. In fact, the more sun they receive, the better they grow. Prepare the soil by removing any weeds, digging in compost or organic matter and raking level. Sow the seed to double the depth of the
Local book Who is she?
seed, about 2cm. Don’t forget to protect the young emerging seedlings from snails and slugs. Water regularly and keep free of weeds. Mulch the soil and feed with a liquid fertiliser fortnightly. If growing the taller varieties, stake them while young to stabilise the plant during strong winds and bad weather. Consider growing: “Dwarf Sensation� which has bright yellow flowers and grows to around a metre. - “Bronze Shades� grows up to 2 metres and flowers profusely in shades of red, orange and bronze. - “Prado Red� grows to 2 metres and has claret red flowers. - “Lemon Queen� has a light yellow flower with a dark centre and grows to 2 metres. - “Italian White� has creamy white flowers with a dark eye and grows to 1.5 - 2 metres. - “Double Dazzler� has semi double yellow flowers and grows to around 2 metres. And if you want to try for your own world record, “Giant Russian� has very large, single, yellow flowers which can grow up to 50cm across and four metres high. Happy gardening.

VETS CORNER
FEATURE STORY
from page |
1
Our oldest and dearest furry friends AS our animals age, just like with any other family member, there are health issues that arise, from common aches and pains, to more serious conditions such as heart disease. To keep on top of these concerns, and make sure that your pet remains happy and comfortable, it is important to visit your vet for annual health checks (part of annual vaccinations) to ensure health problems are identified and treated in a timely manner, before they start to severely impact on your pet’s quality of life. Some age-related conditions include: Arthritis Most dogs and cats over the age of eight will have some form of arthritis. It is a lot easier to identify early signs of arthritis in dogs than cats. Signs in dogs can include reluctance to walk/run as far, difficultly going up and down stairs, muscle wasting, taking longer to get out of bed in the morning and of course obvious lameness. Cats can be curious creatures, and signs of arthritis can be as subtle as a decrease in activity or seeming a bit ‘grumpy’ when
touched or picked up. There are many medications and joint supplements that are available to help ease the pain of arthritis in our feline and canine companions. Endocrine diseases Endocrine diseases such as Cushing’s Disease, diabetes and hyperthyroidism are also very common in older animals. Cushing’s disease is a disease of older small breed dogs. Signs include a pot belly, excessive drinking and urination, ravenous appetite, hair loss, coat changes and panting. Diagnosis and treatment requires hormonal tests, to ensure medication dosage is accurate and as safe as possible. Obesity Overweight or obese cats are prone to developing type-2, or insulin resistant, diabetes. Dogs tend to develop type1, insulin deficient, diabetes, whereby the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin are damaged and the body can no longer make insulin. Both types are managed with a balanced diet and twice daily insulin injections. Your vet will work with you to make these changes in your
petcare as easy as possible to manage. Hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism is a disease of older cats. Signs include hyperactivity, weight loss in the face of a ravenous appetite, unkempt coat and excessive water intake and urination. Other diseases that occur commonly in older animals include heart disease/heart failure, renal failure, and cancer. Your vet is there to help make your pet care as easy and stressfree as possible. Whether your pet is showing signs of discomfort or you would just like some advice, they are a great source of knowledge and support. Your clinic wants to help ensure your older pet is in the best form they can be in their senior years, just like you do. Dr Meagan Lee, Ovens and Kiewa Veterinary Hospital
PETS CORNER THIS week’s pet of the week at the Wangaratta RSPCA is Sam, a one year old male domestic mediumhair cat, who is black in colour. To see more animals up for adoption at the Wangaratta RSPCA, visit the shelter in Connell Street or phone (03) 5722 2874.
CREATIVE: Jacqui Macleish (with Marg Bennett in background) is also among the artists participating in Paint Presto this weekend.
Finished pieces will then be exhibited at the Wangaratta Art Gallery’s Gallery 2 on Sunday, with all artwork on sale to the public and esteemed Australian artist Samuel Condon judging prize winners in “professional� and “amateur emerging� artist categories. Mr Condon will also be setting up his own easel outside the gallery on Saturday and painting his own artwork inspired by a performance of a visiting jazz musician. Added to the weekend’s activities was a “try me� workshop of Jasco art products on Friday, also in Gallery 2, which is part of the pre-painting events. Another artist set to be involved in the weekend is Wangaratta resident Jacki Macleish, who is also one of the organisers behind the initiative. She said that “the scope’s very broad� for artists participating and added that there was a host of Wangaratta locations
that would be ideal vantage points for artists, such as by the river, in local parks, near outdoor stages and many more. “We’d like to believe the complete body of work will embody the vibe of the festival,� she added. “We’re hoping to capture Wangaratta at its best.� Ms Leith said she is looking forward to seeing the creative output the festival will inspire. “It will be really interesting for the public to see what they do,� Ms Leith said. “It’s a very European event.� The organisers said they were very grateful for the support the event had received from local residents, businesses and other organisations. Paint Presto will be held on October this weekend and you can find out more by visiting Paint Presto Wangaratta on Facebook.

BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
THANKFULLY the last two cold fronts have failed to deliver too much in the way of rain. What this means for us fishermen and women is that the Ovens River here in Wangaratta is almost at a fishable level. It is still very high, and a bit dirty, but on the whole the water has cleared quite a bit and dropped to a level where there are now a few calm backwaters forming, worthy of a well presented bunch of garden worms. On Sunday afternoon I had a quick fishing session in my favourite spot in Wangaratta when the river is high, and that is the big calm backwater behind the showgrounds. I had a few bites that failed to hook up. One bite was a ripper, a decent fish for sure, but as I charged out of my fold up chair like a man possessed, with my eyes on my rod, I tripped over my crazy dog and went belly up in the mud. Thankfully there was nobody watching. I’m pretty sure the fish all swam away laughing while my dog, Jaffa, got the biggest fright. Lake Eildon has been fishing very well for Murray cod. I have had quite a few reports and seen quite a lot of photos over the last week. In fact, I am seeing more photos of Murray cod coming from Lake Eildon

Orphans of the Carnival by Carol Birch JULIA Pastrana is the singing and dancing marvel from Mexico, heralded on tours across nineteenthcentury Europe as much for her talent as for her unusual appearance. Yet few can see past the thick hair that covers her: she is both the fascinating toast of a Governor’s Ball and the shunned, unnatural beast, hidden away in this haunting tale of identity, love and independence.

Is it menopause? TRUE menopause is defined as 12 months of no period, but many women present with symptoms around menopause age, while still menstruating. Often the worst symptoms occur in the peri-menopausal years – as the cycle starts to down regulate, but before it completely stops. In traditional medicine menopause is viewed as a time of coming into your wisdom. It’s a time of reduced fertility, but increased creativity and regaining energy. This is definitely not how my modern menopause patients view the experience. It seems to them to be a time of deep fatigue, chaos and unexplained health issues. Interestingly oestrogen and progesterone receptors are not just ‘down there’. They are found in our heart, lungs, muscles, thyroid, liver, brain and this is why symptoms can be found far and wide in the body. As sex hormones decline many women notice those genetic weaknesses starting to appear –

LOOKING AHEAD: Menopause and perimenopause can be a tricky time for most women, but can be made easier if it is managed properly. higher cholesterol, blood pressure, weight gain, blood sugar issues, arthritis, as well as an increase in PMS symptoms: headaches, food cravings, appetite change, anxiety, pain, breast tenderness, hot flushes, bloating, heavy or irregular cycles. As our body goes through a natural decline in sex hormones, other hormone pathways take up the work – especially our adrenal and stress hormones. Women who are most stressed, anxious and depleted (tired) going into menopause are more
likely to have the worst symptoms as the stress hormones are already too busy and don’t have enough reserve to take over the role of the declining sex hormones. So while menopause is a natural event, and you can expect some symptoms, naturopaths will spend a lot of time working with you to build up reserve energy, reduce stress reactions and address underlying inflammatory processes that are in your genetic pool (such as cholesterol, arthritis, diabetes, blood pressure etc).

Cheese, spinach and zucchini rice slice
lightly chilled. The golden coloured wine made by Tony Ciavarella has a well-developed, warm stone fruit and vanilla aroma. The unmistakable oak influence complements a smooth mouth feel with lengthy flavours of peach and buttery cashew, balanced with citrus acidity. It’s a confident wine and one that can be enjoyed alone, with bitey cheeses or the creaminess of my sandwich; one of the few times where, as luck would have it, soft white bread has a role. If only my selection of horses was as savvy. Available from the cellar door in Oxley or find out more at www.oxleyestate.com.au

WITH the world recently marking World Osteoporosis Day on October 20, research showed kids and teens are missing out on calcium in daily meals - putting their bones at risk as they grow. More than half (54 per cent) of girls aged 9 to 11 years and 45 per cent of boys aged 9 to 11 years had inadequate usual intakes of calcium, and one in five girls aged 4-8 years had an inadequate usual intake of calcium. Heading into the teen years, more than eight out of 10 girls aged 12 to 13 years and nine out of 10 girls aged 14 to 18 years had an inadequate usual intake of calcium. The equivalent figures for boys in these age groups was around seven out of 10. Gold medal swimmer Michael Klim put together some recipes for the Dairy Kitchen that are rich in calcium and perfect for children. This rice slice is a delicious lunchbox idea that can be used as an alternative to sandwiches and can be enjoyed warm or cool. Vary flavourings by adding corn kernels, lean ham, grated pumpkin or carrot in place of the spinach or try using different types of cheeses like crumbled ricotta or feta.

THE whole world loves chicken and it’s easy to understand why. It doesn’t matter which culture creates a recipe for the humble bird, it’s likely to make it into someone’s top ten of favourite dishes. Traditionalists will swear by the curative powers of a classic chicken soup, chefs prefer their mother’s roast, and man, woman and child across the planet loves it finger-lickin’ fried. It’s hard to beat a green chicken curry, grilled Portugesestyle has a legion of fans and Kung Pao packs the ultimate chilli punch. I like my left over roast chook sandwiched between buttered white bread and taken on a picnic, and if that picnic happens to be adjacent to a race track, I’m in heaven. A great match for the rich, sweet white meat is a Chardonnay, and today I’m taking one from Ciavarella’s Oxley Estate and serving it

WHAT NEXT: Graduating from university does not always mean a candidate is job ready.
Unemployable graduates an issue
T
housands of graduates will soon take their first steps into the world of work, but a large number lack the necessary skills and experience employers want, according to recruiting experts Hays. Hays’ CEO, Alistair Cox, says many of today’s graduates may be forced to take on non-graduate roles. He says, “Year after year I listen to concerned employers who are worried that each fresh wave of graduates simply does not possess the skills required to excel in the modern world of work, or even get their foot in the door. “They’ve spent at least three years racking up debt to study a course that will not help them find a relevant role.� With skills shortages already evident, as recently identified by the Hays Global Skills Index, failing to address the skills of those leaving education will only exacerbate the situation. Another issue is a lack of graduates who gain any practical work experience
during their study. As Alistair says, “While employers often look for technical or vocational knowledge first, many students leave university or higher education without any relevant experience because many courses are not geared toward this. “Yet employers value graduates with experience. Even a few weeks spent in the industry or sector they ultimately wish to enter puts graduates ahead of other candidates without such experience.� As for a possible solution, educational institutes, employers, governments and graduates all have a part to play, says Alistair. “Better careers advice needs to be provided within educational institutes so that students can consider all options before making an informed decision on their future,� he says. “Our political leaders should encourage universities to focus on providing the skills that will be vital to driving employment, businesses and the economy.�
Alistair suggests another potential solution is to make the high-employability courses and institutions free or cheaper, such as those offering training in STEM-related jobs. This would also incentivise younger people into taking such courses. He also says that businesses can do more to ensure educational institutes are producing the skills needed. “Business leaders should be approaching top colleges and universities, asking how they can help prepare the future workforce and informing them which areas their business is struggling to recruit in.� And finally Alistair says that it’s also the responsibility of young people to focus on obtaining a skills set that is relevant to the world of work and that will benefit them. “We need to be encouraging our young people to consider the future jobs market before choosing what to study,� he said.

Win a pass to PAX 2016 in Melbourne WITH CHRIS FEBVRE, NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER
IF you’ve ever grinded for xp, had heart palpitations over epic loot, tanked and spanked, complained about a nerf, cared more about your toons gold than your own bank balance, quickscoped, stutter-stepped, strafed, backstabbed, group healed, double-jumped, lagged, farmed, gone afk, sniped, laned, pvped, quested, or have a deep hatred for campers and bots, then chances are, you’re a gamer. Hello to you, kindred spirit. When I was in school, my friends and I still lived in an age where video games were the sole province of nerds, and nerds weren’t the cool kids. Fast forward to today, and the video game industry has shot past the Hollywood box-office, and is now one of the largest entertainment industries worldwide, raking in billions upon billions of dollars per year. Alongside this, esports (professional gamers playing competitively in front of a live audience) has grown astronomically, and was worth $612 million in 2015, with the top ranked gamers earning up to $1 million per year.

First held in 2004 in Seattle, PAX has grown exponentially each successive year, and expanded internationally to Melbourne in 2013. This year’s event, held November 4-6 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, promises to be the largest for Australia yet, with an incredibly exciting line-up of events, concerts, and panels. Gamer musicians Tim Shiel, 7Bit Hero, and Axis of Awesome are ready to rock.
All of this translates to gaming having become a staple form of entertainment for many households, and a hobby that is no longer contained to any particular demographic. It may even surprise some to learn that the average age of a self-professed gamer is 37. With this growing enthusiasm for all things gaming comes the events, conventions, and expos that celebrate them, the largest of which is PAX (Penny Arcade Expo).
