HELPING others make a peaceful and comfortable home in the North East is a constant calling for Myrtleford resident Caterina Revrenna. She was recently recognised for her work by the Victorian Multicultural Commission, and in December was honoured at the Multicultural Awards for Excellence. Caterina was recognised for her many achievements, including her role as a founding member of the North East Multicultural Association (NEMA) and the North East Multicultural Aged Care Connections Project in the Myrtleford region. Migrating with her family from Italy as an infant, raised in Gippsland before making Myrtleford her home, Mrs Revrenna said she has always cherished being part of strong communities. “Australia’s built on multiculturalism,” she said. “There’s no other place in the world like Australia, and it needs to be celebrated. “There’s so much to celebrate.” She said she was very proud to have received the award. “I was thrilled just to be nominated.” She said she has fulfilled a number of roles within NEMA since its foundation, including working with aged members of the migrant community, promoting events such as Harmony Day, being active in the La Fiera event Nonna in Cucina, and helping to assemble NEMA’s annual get together. More recently she trained to become a cultural advocate, making her a contact point for both new and established migrants to come to for information and support. “We are trying to raise awareness that we are there and they can approach us,” she said. continued page |

What’s in your garden: Our garden was established late last year with the help of a grant from the Rural City of Wangaratta. It contains beans, tomatoes, potatoes and corn, as well as parsley and zucchini. What do you enjoy about gardening: Being able to grow these healthy vegetables. Favourite plant/spot in your garden: We have no real favourites. Water saving/ conservation tip:
We hand water our plants to ensure the most efficient use of water, and we are hoping to get shadecloth soon so that the plants don’t lose as much water through evaporation. Your tips to keep gardens in top shape: Anyone who wants to try to establish their own garden should have a go.

is around 10 years old and over two metres tall with angled stems spreading to around two metres. It has just finished blooming over three nights this week and looked incredible. There is some confusion in the naming of Cereus cacti which have had many name changes. Once known as Cereus peruvianus, then Cereus uruguayanus then Cereus hildmannianus, but they are now known as Cereus repandus. They can be found in nurseries under any of these names. Cereus is easy to propagate. Cut off a stem, leave for a week or so for the end to dry out, then pot up in a free draining mix of sand and potting mix. Happy gardening.

FOR an unusual and easy to care for plant with a special feature, try growing a columnar cactus. These cacti belong to the genus Cereus and feature large distinctly ribbed stems with sharp spines. They resemble the image of Mexican cactus, typically featured in cartoons. When young they have one main upright stem but as they age many angular stems develop. Native to South America, there are around 33 different forms of the Cereus cacti, some reaching heights of up to 10 metres. Most feature grey -green to blue stems which grow to a diameter of 20cm. But the hidden beauty of these plants is the spectacular flowers which only open at night. They are sometimes referred to as night blooming cactus for this reason. The blooms are large, with daisy like white flowers with yellow centres and a sweet fragrance. The flowers develop over a few days starting as a small bump on the stem and increasing in size. The flower bud can grow to 10 -15cm in length before opening. The flowers open gradually in the early evening, opening fully in the midst of the dark night and begin closing and wilting by early daylight. Each flower only blooms for one night. Some Cerus only bloom once a year, but others can bloom a couple of times throughout the summer months, often on or just before a full moon. We have one in our garden that

FEATURE STORY
from page |
1
Heartworm HEARTWORM infection is caused by the parasite dirofilaria immitis, and can lead to life threatening disease. The parasite, which lives in the blood stream is spread by mosquitoes. When a mosquito feeds on an infected dog, it picks up an immature stage of the heartworm (known as microfilariae), which then continues to undergo development in the mosquito and is able to infect dogs that the mosquito later feeds on. The adult worms live in the pulmonary arteries and can be present for years before clinical signs of infection become evident. The worms cause obstruction and damage to the blood vessels in the lungs, leading to increased pressure which in turn affects the heart and can also lead to fluid accumulation in the lungs.
Signs in the affected dog are typical of heart failure and include reduced exercise tolerance, coughing, lethargy and weight loss. Heartworm disease is a difficult condition to treat and is often fatal once signs are noticed. For this reason heartworm prevention is recommended for all dogs living in areas where mosquitoes are prevalent. It is important to note that a regular all-wormer does not prevent heartworm, these products are for treatment and control of intestinal worms only. There are a range of different products available for heartworm prevention which contain macrocyclic lactones such as moxidectin, ivermectin, selamectin and milbemycin oxime. These products are available as spot-on
formulations, chewable tablets or as an annual injection. These products can be used from the time your dog is a pup. If starting heartworm prevention in an older dog it is important to test the dog first to determine if a heartworm infection is already present, as the preventative measures do not treat the condition and can sometimes cause harm if given to an infected animal. This test is quick and can be performed at your veterinary clinic. Dr Amanda Walker, Ovens and Kiewa Veterinary Hospital

“It was a privilege to be asked, and a privilege to do it.” She added that she relished being able to make life easier for ageing members of the migrant community, and addressing cultural and practical issues that they are facing. “We are making sure services are appropriate for them, and assisting them,” she said. Having been with NEMA since its inception, she said she was proud to be involved with the organisation. “I’m very proud of the direction they’re taking, they really work with a passion,” she added. NEMA manager Ben Flanigan said the organisation developed from humble beginnings in 2005 as a community council put in place to support existing and new migrants, raise cultural awareness and promote the benefits of diversity. Over the years it has developed
into an organisation with strategic vision for the future, and an awareness of the changing nature of multicultural issues. He added that as a founding member, Mrs Revrenna has been a valuable asset to the organisation over the years. “She’s a passionate advocate of multiculturalism, and a pillar of strength,” Mr Flanigan said. “We’re absolutely ecstatic that she got that award.” He said that himself and the members of NEMA see multiculturalism as a valuable part of Australian society. “Everyone in our community can make a positive contribution to the community because of, not in spite of, their differences. “Having different cultures and beliefs gives us a chance to learn and grow as a community, and as a nation.”

FISHING FOCUS
CATCH OF THE WEEK Name: Mandy Kohn, South Wangaratta Catch: Cod Size 53cm Bait: Worms Location: Frosts near Peechelba Location: The fish was released back into the water.
CHOICES: I prefer heavy braided line on my Murray cod fishing outfit, and light 4lb monofilament line on my spinning outfit which I use to target trout and redfin with bladed spinners and soft plastics.
Braided line versus monofilament line I FIELD a lot of questions from people asking me what the best type of line is - braided line or monofilament (mono) line, often referred to as nylon line. There are pros and cons to both types of fishing line, and there are certainly situations where one is more beneficial than the other. My personal preference is braided line for Murray cod, either line for yellowbelly and redfin depending on which technique you are using, and monofilament line for trout. Braided line is much thinner, allowing the lure to dive deeper and it has zero stretch, allowing the angler to feel every single bump, whether it be from a huge cod or a tiny leaf fowling up on the hooks. I use 50lb braided line whenever I
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
am lure fishing for Murray cod. It is thin enough to allow my lure to still run at the optimal depth whether I am trolling or casting, and is super strong, allowing me to get my lure back more often when it becomes snagged, or tangled in an overhanging branch. Monofilament line has stretch, which is critical when trout fishing as trout are notorious for jumping out of the water and shaking their heads. Without the stretch in the line the lure is more prone to falling out of the fish’s mouth.
SUDOKU HARD
Also, winged lures such as Tassie Devils do not swim as well without the stretch in the line which helps to soak up the wide sway of the lure. In my opinion, braided line is best for diving lures for Murray cod, yellowbelly and redfin; and ideal for lipless crankbaits, surface lure fishing and spinnerbaits. Monofilament line is best for all forms of trout fishing, bladed spinners, soft plastics, bait fishing and for pretty much most uses of a spinning reel. Braided line tangles much easier, and is much harder to untangle. Monofilament line is much cheaper to replace and easier to untangle. Tying knots is much easier with monofilament line as braided line tends to slip if it is not tied properly.

Flow activities
Suffragette (M) A DRAMA that tracks the story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement, women who were forced underground to pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly brutal state. Radicalised and turning to violence as the only route to change, they were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality - their jobs, their homes, their children and their lives.
IN our busy lives we are confronted with endless challenges, details to remember, places to be and people to see, and it’s very easy to get caught up in this merry-go-round of life. We look back over the year and wonder where it has gone. When was the last time we stopped and did something just for us? No wonder we feel tired and frazzled. When you are feeling like this it is good to remember your flow and how easy and simple it can be to get in and out of your flow. What is flow I hear you ask? It is a feeling of being totally in balance, ‘being able to perform an activity which you are fully immersed in, a feeling of energised focus, full involvement and enjoyment in the process of the activity’. Everyone has an activity or hobby that brings them this kind of feeling. The definition of a flow activity is ‘when you do something that gives you joy and that you don’t notice time passing.’ It’s like a little holiday for your mind. A real holiday needs to be ‘time out’ from the everyday duties, responsibilities, routines,

OUT AND ABOUT: Horse riding is just one example of a flow activity. stressors and crazies of your usual life. It should feature doing the things you love and allowing your thoughts to get back in a straight line and unwind. You can do this by introducing regular flow activities into your day or week. Flow activities are not selfish. It is taking the time to get your energy back so that you can give back your energy to those who need it most. To decide what your flow activity is, start by writing down five activities that you really enjoy. The aim is to come back to this list whenever your energy is going flat, or to use a more preventative
approach, set a challenge to do them as often as you can. Once a day? Once a week? The more often you take a little time to recharge, the better your energy will be. To get you thinking about flow activities I have listed some examples from the clinic. “Swimming, running or yoga” (Sophie, naturopath). “Walking with friends” (Heather, reception). “Riding my horse” (Megg, massage therapist). “Walking, music, dancing” (Eva, counsellor). So it seems the key is to ask yourself what makes a perfect breathing space for you, be it with friends, family, alone time and go and do it.

Michelini Wines
Moscato Rose Around $15 PEOPLE across the region have enjoyed celebrating Australia Day in their own way. Nothing gets the appetite going quite like the smell of a snag on the barbie, and towns everywhere have gathered to enjoy big breakfasts, long lunches and teas, damper, scones and lamingtons have taken their rightful place centre stage. We’ve paused to watch the flag go up, shed a tear as the national anthem was played and paid our respects to those willing to stand out from the crowd and go that extra mile for their community. While there is nothing wrong with sinking a stubbie as the sun goes down, if you want to celebrate the season and the great southern land in style, you could try Michelini Wines’ Moscato Rose. A popular variety at this time of year, Michelini’s Moscato Rose is easy on the eye, with an inviting jewel-
WITH ANITA McPHERSON like pink colour and crown of pearly white froth. The easy-to-drink bubbly is vibrant and perky with the aroma of ripe strawberries. On first tasting, the lemonade berry fruitiness also has a hint of American style toffee apple; giving it a sweet candy appeal. This spritzy crowd pleaser can be enjoyed from dawn to dusk, which is just what you need for a celebration. And while it tastes just beaut served chilled on its own, it’s a ripper with a piece of pavlova smothered in lashings of whipped cream. Three cheers to the lucky country.

Do you have a right to farm? I WAS interested in an article that I read in which the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) is asking for Local Government assistance in making submissions on what effectively is the right to farm. DELWP have formed an animal advisory committee to consider how the planning system can support the establishment and expansion of productive, competitive and market-responsible animal industries in Victoria, while balancing environmental outcomes and community expectations. It is giving local government just four weeks to submit on a broad ranging, but still isolated part of agriculture. The advisory committee is to provide advice to the Minister of Planning and the Minister for Agriculture on: t UIF SPMF BOE GVODUJPO PG UIF planning system in supporting the establishment and expansion of
By KEN CLARKE, WANGARATTA CERTIFIED PRACTICING ACCOUNTANT
kenclarke11@bigpond.com animal industries in the context of changing industry practice to increase production, be competitive and respond to market changes; and t UIF BEFRVBDZ PG UIF EFö OJUJPO PG “intensive animal husbandry” in clause 74 of the Victorian Planning Provisions and all planning schemes having regard to emerging farming systems and practices, incremental changes to existing operations over time and changing consumer preference. A discussion paper has been released and submissions are invited, but any submissions must be received by the close of business on February 5.
What are the issues? Livestock production systems are changing. On the one hand, free range pig and poultry production systems are growing to meet consumer demands, whilst on the other hand more intensive grazing and production systems are being adopted in the sheep, beef and dairy industries. The trend towards more intensive production systems is likely to continue, some say it needs to continue if Victorian agriculture is to meet the growing overseas demand for its produce. All livestock production systems have the potential for off-farm impacts on the environment and community. Community and local residents’ expectations are changing with more ‘non farming’ or hobby farm residents living in farming zones. Tourism-based agricultural enterprises, such as wineries with cellar door sales and restaurants, eco-tourism, and farm stays are taking
advantage of Victoria’s rural amenity and increasing in number. The Victorian Government has JEFOUJö FE TJY QSJPSJUZ TFDUPST UIBU XJMM underpin the state’s future economy and jobs growth. 5IF GPPE BOE ö CSF TFDUPS XIJDI includes animal industries, is one of these sectors. In 2013-2014 it accounted for 48 per cent of the state’s total goods exports, valued at $11.8 billion. 5IF GPPE BOE ö CSF TFDUPS FNQMPZT 191,700 people and underpins the prosperity of many local communities across Victoria. These communities each have their own particular mix of number, type and intensity of animal industries. This variety can be understood in terms of different types of production systems. Interesting to note that the overwhelming majority of Australia’s cattle are raised on grass in pasturebased systems with only about 2 to 3
per cent being raised in feedlots. The greater efficiency of feedlots means that feedlot cattle are responsible for about 34 per cent of beef production. Grain feeding of dairy cattle is increasing, but the Australian dairy industry remains predominately pasture based. The dairy industry has recognised ö WF NBJO GFFEJOH TZTUFNT JO "VTUSBMJB which range from predominantly pasture-based with low grain input to total mixed ration with no grazing. In Victoria, most dairy is grazed pasture with moderate to high grain concentrate. I would believe that there will be big changes to how farmers can operate into the future, local government will have a bigger say on what can and cannot happen, so if you are concerned, visit the DELWP website and download the discussion paper. But there is not much time for your submission.
