THE late Carrie Fisher has been quoted as saying, “take your broken heart, and make it into art”. It is a motto that certainly rings true for a songwriting workshop currently being run at Wangaratta’s Mind Recovery College. The workshops are developed by Wild at Heart Community Arts and run in partnership with Mind Recovery College. And for students like Wangaratta’s Judy Burns, who lives with anxiety and depression, such workshops have helped her tap into her feelings to write a bluesy number entitled Playing With Fire. Judy has been playing music on and off over the past three decades, and gets a real kick out of performing. “I love getting up in front of people to perform,” she said, enthusing that Love Potion Number Nine (made most famous by The Searchers) and So Sad by The Everley Brothers are among her favourite songs to perform. Learning to write songs has helped Judy express herself, and she said being in a workshop environment helped demystify what can be a daunting process. “I thought it was fabulous,” Judy said. “I love to write a good song.” Mind employee, volunteer, and songwriting workshop co-facilitator, Cat Hazell-Johansen, has been involved with the organisation for a number of years, and also runs their Monday Music Madness group. She said music was a powerful therapeutic tool and also helped give people a sense of community and self-expression. “I’m really just there to help people believe in themselves,” Cat said. “It’s amazing how people start to really flourish. “They start to reframe themselves based on their strengths, and are able to safely tell their stories in their own voice.” continued page |

Happy Father’s Day
◆ SNOW DOG: Cindy the guide dog in training visited Dingo Dell earlier this month and loved digging and bouncing about in the snow. Guide dogs and other service dogs are permitted in national parks and Cindy’s family provided her this training so she is best equipped for helping her new owner.
Buffalo, although snow cover can vary depending on the weather. Facilities on the mountain include a café and day shelter at Dingo Dell. Keep an eye on snow cams
and the website of your preferred mountain, or ask your local ski hire business or tourism information centre for information on current snow conditions at resorts around the area.

THIS Sunday, September 3, is Father’s day, which in Australia is celebrated on the first Sunday of September. It is also the third day of spring. It’s no coincidence that Father’s Day falls in spring. It’s the time of year when the garden wakes up and plants start growing as the weather warms up. Although not a public holiday, along with Mother’s Day and Christmas Day, Father’s day is a time for families to get together. Spring is a busy time for gardeners, so make dad’s day super special by giving him garden related gifts (it beats socks and undies.) Handmade or purchased, there are items to fit every budget. From seeds, seedlings and plants, to gloves, hand tools, shovels, spades, rakes, hoes and hoses, pots and containers, garden ornaments and furniture. Make a garden hamper for dad by filling a bucket or container with an assortment of seeds, hand tools and gloves. What about a mini propagation greenhouse, which is ideal for sowing spring vegetable or flower seeds.
Gardening and DIY books make great reading and may provide some inspiration for the next garden project. Subscriptions to garden magazines are another gift idea, and they keep coming for the next 12 months. If Dad prefers doing, rather than reading, offer to help him prepare the soil for a spring veggie garden. Remove any weeds and debris, then dig it over to the depth of a spade. Dig in some compost, manure, fertiliser, blood and bone and potash to add body and nutrients. This can be left for a few weeks before planting. If the garden has space for some new additions, Dad may also like a beautiful magnolia, available in an array of styles, colours and sizes, which are flowering now. Or some of our stunning native plants flowering now, including a range of Callistemon, Grevillea, Lechenaultia, Acacia and Hardenbergia. It is Dads special day so make him feel loved and appreciated. To all the Dads, Happy Father’s Day and thank you. Happy gardening.

VETS CORNER
FEATURE STORY
from page |
1
Antibiotic resistance in pets ANTIBIOTIC resistance is real and is petrifying. It is estimated by the World Health Organisation that 700,000 people die annually due to drug resistant bacteria. They also estimate that if no action is taken that number could rise to 10 million by the year 2050. Antibiotic resistance could mean that hip and knee replacements, chemotherapy and C-sections would become too risky to perform and a thing of the past. There is increasing pressure on the veterinary community to be very careful with how we use antibiotics. There are some antibiotics we are not allowed to use and potentially any new class of antibiotics developed in the future will be for human use only. Thus we need to be very careful with how we use our antibiotics we have access too now. There may even come a time, if we are not careful, that we have to prove there is an infection by performing a culture, before we are allowed to administer antibiotics. This will make treating animals much more expensive and time
consuming. Everyone needs to play a role in this. Everyone needs to recognise this is a major, global, public health issue that is already affecting lives. We need to be smart about how we use antibiotics and only use them when we have a high suspicion of infection with a BACTERIA. They are of no use for viral infections. A lot of superficial wounds can be treated using a lavage solution and maintaining hygiene. Many illnesses need time, rather than truckloads of antibiotics. The same goes for people with a cold or flu who think that antibiotics are the solution, they are not and if we keep misusing them, the consequences are dire! In Victoria now we are seeing antibiotic resistance in our pets and livestock. There have been instances when animals have been exposed to multiple antibiotics, used for incorrect periods and for incorrect illnesses that are now dying because there are no antibiotics left to treat them. These same bacteria killing these
animals can also infect people. So next time you think I’ll just give it a shot of this or that, really consider what you are doing and how it might affect you and your family down the track. This is a very serious issue and it really scares me to think what our future is going to be like. There are now guidelines that vets need to follow in regards to how to use antibiotics correctly. One study estimated that 30-50 per cent of antibiotic use was inappropriate. So if your vet isn’t handing out antibiotics by the truck load to anyone who asks for them, then there are some very good reasons for that, they are not trying to make life difficult for you, they are doing their bit to hopefully preserve their use in the future. Dr Meagan Lee, veterinarian
PETS CORNER THIS week’s pet of the week at Wangaratta RSPCA is Alex, a three year old male domestic shorthair cat who is grey in colour. To see more animals up for adoption at the Wangaratta RSPCA, visit the shelter in Connell Street or phone (03) 5722 2874.
◆ SHARING MUSIC: Cat Hazell-Johansen loves playing music alongside workshop participants.
Cat said many people attending the songwriting workshops already have a musical background, and often they can teach others musical skills. However, the workshops are aimed at beginners, so people new to music are well supported. She herself has been steadily learning guitar skills from Judy over recent weeks. For lead facilitator Phil Heuzenroeder, who is artistic and managing director of Wild At Heart Community Arts, there is a real passion for social justice. “I work with people whose lives and stories are gold, but I think society mostly sees the dirt that’s covering it,” he said. “For me, there’s incredible richness in getting to know people whose
Wangaratta Kennel & Obedience Dog Club Inc.
lives contain quite a degree of struggle and difficulty.” Phil said music workshops are an excellent way to get your voice heard. “There’s something very transformative about being able to tell your story in a culturally understood way, like a song,” he said. “There’s something even more powerful in the validation of yourself when your song is played for other people and heard by them. “It’s deeply powerful.” The Life is a Song Workshops are currently running on Fridays at Mind Recovery College in Wangaratta. For more information contact the organisation on (03) 5723 1000 or Wild at Heart Community Arts on (03) 9326 9970.

Trout season opening looks promising BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
The always reliable Ovens River upstream of Bright will be well worth fishing on opening morning. Be careful if wading in the river as there is going to be a fair amount of current pushing through. The Buffalo River upstream of Lake Buffalo around Abbeyard is always worth a look. Despite low summer flows, the upper Buffalo River holds some quite nice trout at times. The Kiewa River close to Mt Beauty may be worth trying, with the area between the bridge at Tawonga and
the spillway in Mt Beauty being the most consistent spot for trout in the Kiewa River. The King River upstream of Lake William Hovell will be worth a try if you have a four wheel drive vehicle to get up there. The Mitta Mitta River anywhere from Eskdale upstream will also be worth fishing on opening morning. Bright coloured bladed spinners and small minnows often work well early in the season, so too will a lightly weighted bunch of garden worms. Also, just a quick reminder that the Murray cod season closes at midnight tomorrow and will re-open on December 1. During this time it is illegal to target Murray cod, even if your intention is to release them.

IT’S that time of the year again… trout opening. This Saturday, September 2, is the opening day of the 2017-2018 Victorian trout season and conditions are looking fantastic across the North East. After a slow start to winter, the rain arrived during July and August to leave us with average conditions for this time of the year. The streams are in perfect shape not too flooded and not too low. As with this time any year conditions can change overnight with a decent deluge of late winter or spring rainfall in the already saturated catchments. This weekend I think that just about any stream that should have trout in it will be worth fishing.

◆ OPENING FUN: This weekend it is all about trout fishing in streams as the trout season opens on Saturday. The many rivers and creeks around North East Victoria will be popular with trout anglers keen to wet a line after a three month absence.

How to get the most out of shift work SHIFT work is really demanding on our bodies and in the North East with the main industries being farming and health care, many of our population is doing some degree of shift work. Research tells us that the longer you are involved in shift work the more at risk you are of health issues. Talking to shift workers, you can certainly see that this is the case. Many complain of heartburn, fatigue, social isolation, blood sugar swings, muscle tightness and high blood pressure. These ‘minor’ symptoms will progress into more chronic and problematic health issues if not dealt with immediately. Looking at the diet and lifestyle of this group the above health issues are not surprising. Humans are meant to sleep when it is dark and be active and alert during the day. When we start fighting against our natural body clock we disrupt a whole lot of hormones and glands. Shift work means you are in a constant battle to state alert when your natural response is to sleep.
BY NATUROPATHS BELINDA MCPHERSON AND SOPHIE LORBACK (BHSCI. NATUROPATHY)
◆ DEMANDING WORK: Doing shift work in industries such as health and aged care can be a health risk if not managed properly.
This means you are constantly secreting stress hormones and getting a build up of toxic lactic acid as a waste product. However it is not all doom and gloom. If your job requires you to be on shift, these ideas will help to reduce many of the symptoms. t Drink 1.5 L of water each shift. For each cup of caffeine add 1 extra glass of water. t Use electrolytes: Avoid regular sports drinks as they have too much sugar
and sodium. Try Endura or another with simular amounts of magnesium. t Stretch or use yoga as a cool down after work. Spending 20mins stretching in combination with a light walk will diffuse those stress hormones and breakdown the lactic acid. t Eat small protein rich snacks at regular intervals on shift: try tuna, eggs, nuts and seeds, cream cheese, natural yoghurt. Combine these with fruits and vegetables.

WINE TALK
IN MY KITCHEN
Jones Winery
2015 Malbec Around $35
WITH ANITA McPHERSON This wine has a sublime aroma which is almost sweet with plums, ripe berries and a touch of woody spice. It has an inky, purple tinged colour and wonderful savoury flavours of deep, dark berries, flecked with tobacco and woody spice, enhanced by the bitey tannins. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Jones family’s 11 year old vineyard in Rutherglen from fruit which was harvested and processed by hand. Try it at the cellar door and with any luck there may be a ham hock terrine on the menu in their French inspired restaurant, which will make the whole experience even easier to enjoy.

Cashew chicken stir-fry with cauliflower rice
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Beechworth earth tremor, 1869 IN the early hours of the morning on August 30, 1869, a brief but intense earth tremor shook Beechworth. Although it lasted only seconds, it caused buildings to shake. The tremor was heralded by a rumbling noise like a passing train, then glasses tinkled, cutlery rattled and jumped on shelves, beds shook, and buildings swayed.
THIS recipe from LiveLighter is a delicious take on the cauliflower rice trend. For recipes like this see www.livelighter.com.au. MEHTOD Combine garlic, ginger, soy sauce, pepper and chicken in a small bowl; set aside to marinate while vegetables are prepared. Heat a non-stick wok or large frypan to high. Add cashews and dry-fry for a minute or until browned; remove from pan and set aside. Chop cauliflower very finely or place into the bowl of a food processor and process with blade attachment until it looks like couscous. Transfer to a large microwave-safe bowl, cover and cook on HIGH (100%) for 6-8 minutes until cauliflower grains are tender. Keep covered and set aside. Meanwhile, spray pan with oil and heat to high. Add half the chicken (with its marinade) and stir-fry for 2 minutes until browned. Set aside and repeat with remaining chicken. Respray pan, add broccoli and stirfry for 3 minutes, until just tender. Add honey, oyster sauce and 2 tablespoons water to the pan along with snow peas, corn, spring onions
and chicken including any juices; stirfry for another 3 minutes til heated through. Divide cauliflower and chicken stir-fry between plates and serve sprinkled with cashews.
> 2 cloves garlic, crushed > 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated > 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce > Pepper > 2 small skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat, thinly sliced > 3/4 cup unsalted cashews > olive or canola oil spray > 1/2 cauliflower, roughly chopped > 1 head broccoli, cut into florets > 2 tbsp honey > 2 tbsp oyster sauce > 200gm snow pea, ends trimmed > 410gm can baby corn spears, drained > 4 small spring onions (including green tops), cut into 2-3cm pieces

INGREDIENTS
THERE is something really magical about the process involved in making a terrine. It’s one of those dishes where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, where ingredients perhaps considered less attractive on their own benefit from being brought together. Perhaps it is because their flavours and textures become more concentrated and complementary when pushed together and left to develop in the confines of a single container. Whatever it is, it works for many different ingredients including pork, duck and chicken, and makes an impressive looking dish that thankfully benefits from being pre-prepared by an anxious host. Turn it out, slice and serve with cornichons, crusty bread and a glass of Jones Winery Malbec, and it will be hard for your guests to forget.

Teaching machines the art of war WITH CHRIS FEBVRE, NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER cfebvre@nemedia.com.au
THE war between man and machine is coming. In a timely coincidence, James Cameron’s classic film ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ has been re-released to theatres in 3D just as Blizzard Entertainment and Google’s DeepMind have announced the release of their application programming interface (API) that will give artificial intelligence (AI) researchers to ability to create machine learning bots capable of tackling Blizzard’s popular esports title - Starcraft 2. Earlier this year, DeepMind’s AI program AlphaGo easily defeated world champion ‘Go’ player Lee Sedol, displaying the already impressive ability of artificial intelligence to master the complex strategy game invented in ancient China. Now DeepMind have their sights set on a far, far greater challenge, which is an exciting prospect, even if it does invoke troubling comparisons to Terminator 2’s omnipresent villain ‘Skynet’. For those unfamiliar with Blizzard’s hit video game series, Starcraft 2 is a
◆ JUDGEMENT DAY: DeepMind and Blizzard Entertainment has released programming tools to teach machine learning bots to play Starcraft 2.
science fiction military strategy game. And just like Go, it involves at least two opposing players vying for control of territory in order to defeat their opponent - but that is where the similarities end. For the purposes of artificial intelligence training, Go is a so-called ‘perfect information’ game, which means you can see all your opponents moves, and those moves are finite, even if the number of potential moves is one to the power of 170. With the right hardware, it’s possible to teach a computer all the possible moves given enough time. Starcraft 2, on the other hand, is infinitely more complex. For one thing, ‘moves’ happen
simultaneously in real time. For another, a player can’t see their opponent’s moves unless they move a scout into their territory, and even then, interpretation of those moves is required. Lastly, the game pieces, or ‘units’, each have specific strengths, weaknesses and abilities, and those strengths and weaknesses are augmented by the terrain they are occupying compared to opposing units. In essence, Starcraft 2 consists of almost all the complexity a computer would face if it were a real military strategist commanding forces in a real battle. The sheer amount of possibilities,
WA N G A R AT TA
moves, and countermoves is dizzying to comprehend for the purpose of creating a computer program capable of learning how to play. Which is why DeepMind and other AI researchers aren’t expecting that a computer will be able to defeat a human player for at least five years. It also means that researchers can’t simply place the AI in a real, full-fledged game of Starcraft from the outset and expect it to learn efficiently, if at all. Instead, just like a human player might begin to learn to play, DeepMind and Blizzard have broken the game down into mini-games involving individual tasks and aspects of a full match.
To begin with, the AI bots are simply being tasked with collecting resources on the map required to build units, or to move a unit to a particular point on the map. So the good news is we’re a while away from needing to worry about Google inadvertently unleashing an army of Terminators on us all. And the other good news is that if artificial intelligence becomes good enough to defeat human players in Starcraft 2, it will mean we’ve reached a point in machine learning that will open up exciting possibilities and applications beyond merely playing strategy games. In the words of Starcraft 2 character Tychus Findley, ‘Hell, it’s about time.’
