WANGARATTA HAS HAD ITS WETTEST OCTOBER IN THE PAST 100 YEARS Rain yesterday only added to the flooding of the Ovens River which has kept Wangaratta’s Sydney Beach (pictured) off limits for much of the past month. Flooding took a more telling toll for almost 800 rural city households on Monday when they lost power and aren’t expected to regain it until tomorrow morning. Stories page 3
Inland Rail ready INLAND Rail project works at Wangaratta and Glenrowan railway precincts are set to start by the end of the year and will be part of a $200 million infrastructure spend in the North East. Environmental approvals are now in place signalling works that will reconfigure and develop infrastructure at the Wangaratta and Glenrowan precincts, enabling double-stacked freight trains to navigate the

Tottenham to Albury route. Wangaratta station’s two footbridges will be replaced by a single pedestrian underpass, the station’s existing eastern track and platform will be relocated to run parallel to the existing
western track, and a major remodel of car parking on both sides of the station will take place. At Glenrowan, the existing Beaconsfield Parade bridge will be replaced with the new widespan bridge and pedestrian walkway, while the historical Siege Street will become a no-throughroad. The Australian Rail Track
Corporation (ARTC) has engaged McConnell Dowell to start construction on the first Inland Rail sites in Victoria which are expected to bring millions of dollars to North East Victorian towns. Project sites also include Barnawartha North and Seymour, with the ARTC expecting more than 170 people to be directly employed with contractor
McConnell Dowell over the life of the project due to end in 2025. Rural City of Wangaratta Mayor Dean Rees was thrilled the works have been given the go ahead as it will improve infrastructure in the city’s two local towns, create jobs and add stimulus to the local economy. He said the new works to the Wangaratta Railway Precinct will complement
council’s completed multimillion works to improve the amenity and further activate the area. “It will allow people to visit and move around the area with more green space, more car parking on both sides of the railway line, and it will beautify an area that has been pretty dull for a number of years,” he said. ■ Continued page 8

A COMMUNITY element is expected to remain part of the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues, even though it may look different to that of past events. The Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre served as the base for the festival’s community stage on Sunday, stepping in to cater for acts which were to perform in Merriwa Park until wet weather concerns and a fallen gum tree sparked a venue re-shuffle in early October. Festival representative Dave Fuller said the event’s free community stage - always a key part of the festival for locals - had received just over $35,000 in funding from Festivals Australia for 2022. This enabled Wangaratta High School students to kick off performances at the WPACC in the morning, before renowned singer Ali McGregor presented her Jazzamatazz show for children and families around lunchtime, followed by the Michelle Nicholle Quartet, and Dan Barnett and Jazzaratta in the early afternoon. A community project which was months in the making saw local musicians take the stage with Melbourne band Horns of Leroy from 4pm, and the public stage was brought to a close with a performance from the Public Opinion Afro Orchestra in the early evening. “The function of community entertainment will continue,” Mr Fuller said. However, he said the “evolution of change” for the festival meant it was likely the community stage - which was popular in Reid Street in the festival’s early days and had moved in subsequent years to Faithfull Street, Ford Street and Merriwa Park would take on a different look. “It’s most likely we won’t go back to a road-based event, and we will always try to explore outdoor options, though

Mr Fuller said many people did not realise the cost and organisational elements involved in staging such a community event, “but I do not expect them to”, adding that the complexities had changed over time. “It’s not just about cost; for instance, in around 2016-’17, terrorism and security was the topic of conversation for us in discussing outdoor stages; that’s part of the evolution of change for the festival,” he said. Importantly, Mr Fuller said the festival, which took a hiatus in 2019 to plan for its future sustainability before being impacted by two years of COVID-19 restrictions, was looking increasingly financially sound. “We have fixed a lot of our sustainability conversations, and we will continue to work on that,” he said. “We are honing in on great partnerships and sponsorships, not all government-based partnerships, but looking at more community partnerships.” Mr Fuller said the festival had once been an $800,000 event attempting to operate as a $1 mil-

some of those changes we’d made would flow into next year,” he said. “We’ve received great feedback which we’ll be able to look at; our first debrief is on Wednesday, so we are getting right into it. “The most important thing is that there will be a 2023 festival, so this year has definitely been a good starting point.” Festival board chair Michael Iacovino said he had soaked up some of the programming on the community stage, which he said was well-attended and received. “The general vibe I got from the festival was that people were pleased to be back to a live event,” he said. The festival’s deputy board chair, Emma Slaytor, said there were plenty of great ideas to consider in this week’s debrief, and in a planned strategy meeting before Christmas. “We want to try and engage the community a bit more,” she said. “If people have ideas about ways they can partner with us, we’d love them to jump on the website - their feedback would be fabulous.”

Record-breaking spring Wangaratta g hit byy wettest-ever October amid consistent downpours p By RYAN MALCOLM RELENTLESS rainfall on 15 separate days last month has resulted in Wangaratta recording its highest October rainfall in more than 100 years. As grey skies refused to abate for much of the month, some 184mm of rain cascaded over the rural city’s Wangaratta aerodrome automatic weather station, punctuated by returns of 26.8mm and 39.6mm which fell on October 13 and 14 respectively. Only 0.1mm was required on Monday to oust the 1973 record (178.7mm), with some 5.4mm falling to give the rural city its ninth highest month of rainfall since at
least 1919, according to Bureau of Meteorology (the bureau) data. It more than quadrupled rain totals recorded during the same period last year, when only 41.2mm fell throughout the rural city, and fell just shy of quadrupling the aerodrome’s October mean rainfall (47.7mm) since records began being kept at the station in 1987. With the La Nina weather event forecast to continue for the third consecutive spring, October rainfall built on a relatively wet September, with spring rainfall totals exceeding 260mm with one month to go, already 30mm more than 2021’s spring rainfall. While consistent, steady rainfall
became the theme for Wangaratta throughout the month, more targeted downpours were reported throughout parts of the King Valley, with Whitfield’s King River weather station recording 352mm, while Myrhee’s ‘Handcocks’ station reported almost 430mm. Whitlands’ ‘Burder’s Lane’ station reported the second highest rainfall in the North East throughout October, with its 460mm only narrowly beaten by the 490mm recorded at Mount Buller. Similarly significant downpours were also reported along the Ovens River, with 307mm falling near Eurobin and upwards of 420mm originating at Mount
Hotham throughout October. To the north, the 193.4mm which fell at Springhurst more than tripled the township’s mean rainfall of 60.3mm, while Yarrawonga recorded 152mm. North East catchments remained wet throughout the month, with rainfall quickly running into both the Ovens and King rivers with regularity, resulting in minor, moderate and major flooding events intermittently throughout the month. A break in the weather is expected to commence from tomorrow, with five consecutive days of either partly cloudy or mostly sunny conditions forecast through to Monday.
Power strike: 770 homes without electricity By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN AN electricity outage has left almost 800 homes in the Rural City of Wangaratta without power for the past 36 hours, with at least another day of waiting before power will be fully restored. A tree fall caused by floodwaters on Monday around 4pm disrupted power lines near Stamps Lane, leaving 772 homes without power - 197 of those homes in Eldorado and 148 in North Wangaratta being the most affected. Ausnet spokesperson, Karen Winsbury, said floodwaters surrounding the power poles are preventing crews from repairing the fault. “We apologise for the inconvenience, we have crews working hard to restore the power but they are being affected by floodwaters,” she said. Ms Winsbury said Ausnet was continuing to monitor the situation and as of 2pm yesterday, did not expect power restoration until 9am Thursday. Wangaratta SES unit controller Jess Zuber said in the meantime, it was important to ensure local residents were prepared for longterm power outages in the future.
TREE DOWN: The scene at Stamps Lane where floodwaters are making it difficult for Ausnet repair crews to reach the power line fault caused by a fallen tree (circled). “This power thing is probably our biggest concern at the moment - I think we’re prepared for floods, so people have got sandbags and have done all of the right things to stop water coming into their home,” she said. “But I think we need to take
it a step further and get people prepared for these extended periods of power outages. “We know most people have generators and particularly for those in our isolated areas (it’s about) making sure you do have sufficient fuel and resources.
“The impacts are particularly in our rural communities so they’ve all got water pumps impacted, so it’s important to have a plan on where you can shower and get fresh water and ensure that you do have adequate food for a couple of days.”
Moderate flooding expected to continue throughout rural city in short-term By RYAN MALCOLM ADDITIONAL rainfall is expected to see both the Ovens and King rivers remain above the moderate flood level in the coming days, with further river rises anticipated. The King River was the first to break its banks, reaching the moderate flood level of 3.95m at Docker Road in the early hours of Friday morning, before peaking at 4.05m late Saturday evening. With the King River often a precursor to flooding along the Ovens River, the latter followed suit a matter of hours later, breaching the minor flood level of 11.9m shortly before 9am before rising to a peak of 12.53m on Sunday afternoon. Wangaratta SES unit controller Jess Zuber said consistent rainfall, which saw the region record its wettest October in more than 100 years, had refused to allow the rivers to recede in recent weeks. “We’re monitoring (river heights) fairly closely, along with the Bureau of Meterology (the bureau) and our meteorologists,” she said. “We are expecting them to hover (around the moderate flood level) and we’re actually expecting them to rise due to the rainfall we’ve had on Sunday and Monday. “We don’t think it will be major flooding but we can’t predict at this stage, (the rivers) are so unpredictable - they’re not looking like they’re going to drop anytime soon so it’s just going to be a wait and see.” She said SES crews had been called to downed trees in their double digits in recent days, particularly as flood waters rose around Pinkerton Crescent and near Apex Park, with many trees left unreachable due to floodwaters. The wet catchments also directly resulted in power being cut to an estimated 770 homes on Monday night, after a tree fell across power lines at Stamps Lane, with power anticipated to be restored by tomorrow morning. Ms Zuber said SES crews had done a power of work in managing the region’s persistent flood threat throughout recent weeks. “I think we generally average between 200 and 300 jobs (responses) a year and in October we’ve done over 100, so we’ve had a massive increase for our volunteers,” she said. Both the Ovens and King rivers remain on moderate flood warning, with up-to-date warnings available at https:// www.emergency.vic.gov.au/respond.

Borinya learning centre in action $1.3m build has more room for more students $
BY SIMONE KERWIN skerwin@ nemedia.com.au
A NEW learning centre at Borinya Wangaratta Community Partnership was officially opened and blessed last Thursday, celebrating the evolution to buildings which are better fit for purpose. Comprising three classrooms, a meeting room, sensory room and a space where the Borinya community can gather together, the learning centre was developed using $1 million in State Government capital funding, with the remaining $300,000 provided by Borinya. Sandhurst Diocese Bishop Shane Mackinlay officially opened and blessed the new building, following a Welcome to Country from Uncle Dozer Atkinson. A morning tea prepared by students was then served to guests. Principal Genevieve O’Reilly said the space was well in use and being thoroughly enjoyed by staff and students. “We now have rooms which are big enough for us; once we had eight students and two adults in the old rooms, it was a bit cosy,” she said. “We have storage space

the building. h new b ildi “We are really grateful for the funding we received from the State Government.” The learning centre now enables Borinya, which currently has an enrolment of 45, to take up to 50 students. “There is massive interest
going into ffrom year sixes i i i year seven, which supports our research around the need for earlier intervention,” Ms O’Reilly said. She spent term three on enrichment leave, exploring the need for an earlier intervention program for senior
primary school students, as part of a proposal backed by North East Support and Action for Youth. Supported by Catholic Education Sandhurst Limited, Ms O’Reilly researched the possibility of developing a program to cater for the increasing need for a supported transitional pathway to secondary education for identified grade five and six students across the North East. Both Borinya and NESAY, which have worked together since Borinya’s inception in 2009, have noticed a growing call for assistance among students in this age group, which is reflected in both level of engagement in education and learning, and increases in family distress and support requirements. Over the past two years, Borinya has received several approaches from local primary schools requesting the consideration of an earlier intervention program, and has seen a rise in parents and teachers seeking to enrol students at year seven. “The research we’ve done has established a definite need in our community,” Ms O’Reilly said. She said she hoped there would be more information available on the outcome of the research in coming months.

NOTE: Comments as they appear online, without corrections.
Full steam ahead on Inland Rail WORKS are scheduled to commence on the Inland Rail project at Wangaratta and Glenrowan in a couple of months’ time and they will be ongoing over the next three years. With this comes opportunity for local businesses which will be able to tender for work packages offered by contractor McConnell Dowell and as the need for workers grows there is expected to be a flow-on effect as more people will be based in the rural city living and working. At a forum facilitated by the ARTC in August there were concerns was expressed about the shortage of housing options for these new workers and also skill set shortages in the labour workforce. The railway precinct in Wangaratta has been transformed with works made possible by council and funding from the State Government. Designs show improvements to the Wangaratta station’s amenity by providing better accessibility for people living with a disability including a lift allowing them to access the platform from the pedestrian underpass. Car parking on both sides of the Wangaratta station is also expected to cater for people looking to access transport services from the east and west entries. There has been a lot of consultation about the redesigned Glenrowan bridge as well with residents split on what was the best for the community. Some were not happy with the closure of Seige Street and others were taken back by the large nature of the new bridge. Consultation on both precincts began in 2018 and for many residents it will be good to see works starting soon but for other perhaps lament over thoughts that their opinions were not heard.

Reliable supply of electricity, gas critical RELIABLE 24/7 electricity and gas supplies are the lifeblood for each business and individual person in Victoria. Stop reliable electricity and gas flow for even one minute, chaos will ensure and all life for everyone will come to a halt. At the coming Victorian state election, the number one decision voters have to decide is whether the Andrews/Greens coalition is returned and Victoria becomes an electricity and gas starved wasteland, where all businesses will fail and the elderly and children will die from the cold. This will happen with Labor’s (hidden) gas substitution roadmap to drastically reduce the use of gas in Victoria, coupled with Labor’s planned closing of our only three coal fired power stations, replacing them with unreliable, weather fuel starved, solar and wind installations. I say fuel starved because solar’s fuel sunshine - is only available for nine to 11 hours of each day (if you are lucky). That leaves 13 to 15 hours every day when an alternative power source has to be used. If it is not available blackouts and shut downs will result. Wind turbines have the same problem as their fuel (wind) is so unpredictable that it can be calm and then blowing a gale from one hour to the next. This requires expensive backup supplies 24/7, along with probable blackouts. The alternative is to vote for the Liberal/ National Coalition and similar minded candidates, who at least have a very positive gas policy, which will benefit Victorians greatly. I believe when they wake up to how useless, fuel starved, solar and wind are, they will develop a sensible policy to meet Victoria needs, particularly not closing the coal fired power stations prematurely. Voters of Victoria, your vote now will decide whether or not you have reliable electricity and gas supplies in 2025. John Moore, Wangaratta
Questioning the need for a treaty IN reference to the article in the Wangaratta Chronicle on October 26, headlined ‘Aunty Geraldine leads historic Treaty agreement’. I see no cause for any treaty between Aboriginal or non Aboriginal Australians. Collectively we are one people, with one flag. Our anthem - ‘Australians all let us rejoice
Should the Federal Budget have included more measures to address rising household cost of living pressures?
POPULAR AS EVER: Wangaratta’s Holy Trinity Cathedral was full to the brim on Sunday for the return of the ever popular jazz mass. A key component of the Wangaratta Festival of Jass and Blues’ community engagement, artists Rebecca Barnard and Tim Neal captivated the packed house of God with their divine music. PHOTO: Jeff Zeuschner for we are one and free’. We were not invaded (Socialists/Greens activist terminology). Consider, Australia could have been founded by a nation, possibly not similarly culturally aligned as with Britain. Australia’s history, good or bad, is just that, unchangeable. We are not responsible for past history. The First Peoples’ Assembly leading to Treaty, I believe will not restore “freedom, dignity and agency”, but rather divide Australia. I see connection between federal and state jurisdictions on all Aboriginal matters. Phillip Servaes, Wangaratta
Step up to help melanoma cause THE Australian Melanoma Research Foundation (AMRF) is urging everyone to Walk for Mela-No-More during National Skin Cancer Action Week (NSCAW) from November 21 to 27. The death rate from melanoma is higher than the national road toll so this initiative raises vital funds to support research, awareness and prevention programs. Melanoma is known as Australia’s national cancer because we have the highest incident rate in the world. Melanoma is the most common cancer in 15-39 year olds, is on the increase in people aged over 60 years, and is the fourth most
common cancer in Australia. One in three Australian will be diagnosed with a skin cancer in their lifetime and melanoma is the most dangerous. Research has led to great improvements in patient outcomes in the past 10 years and with further investment, we hope that in another decade, no Australian will die of melanoma. More than 90 per cent of all melanoma’s can be treated successfully if caught early. Join us this November and help raise much needed funds for research, so we can continue to support early career researchers investigating pathways that can lead to more treatment options.

Boys To The Bush are back in town, at hub
By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN
THE Boys To The Bush community charity program opened its new Wangaratta community hub last week, which will serve as an extra place of comfort for its members within the community. As well as being a new safe space for boys to attend before going on their guided camps, the community hub will also contain storage for equipment and hold mentoring sessions for the charitable program. Co-founder of Boys To The Bush, Tim Sneddon, said the hub will help balance the program of outdoor activities and providing a safe space. “We’ve found in our other sites it becomes a place where they can feel comfortable, it’s a place they’re safe and it’s something we can base activities around,” he said. “We can start and finish our days there before we engage with the community.” Boys To The Bush is a not-forprofit, community-based charity established in 2017 by three school teachers with many years of experience working with students with behavioural and complex needs. It focuses on prevention and early intervention strategies for ‘disengaged, vulnerable and/ or at-risk’ young males through engaging activities to link them
CHECK IT OUT: Boys To The Bush co-founder Tim Sneddon, Wangaratta based state MP Tania Maxwell and Boys To The Bush Wangaratta program coordinator Matt Dillon are excited to have a new community hub for the Boys To The Bush program in Wangaratta to further help their work in helping young boys become good men. PHOTO: Kurt Hickling back to their community. Wangaratta program manager Matt Dillon said the hub will be used as a starting point for many of the camps and mentoring activities he will be coordinating. “It’s where they can experience positive things...some of them don’t have a lot of positive things going on in their life for a whole range of different reasons,” he said. “When they’re here there’s so many things they can do, it can be
from feeding the worm garden or going into the workshop.” Mr Dillon said the program continues to receive a high number of enrolments. Mr Sneddon said the community has all the tools it needs to re-engage the boys and show them that people are there to help through tough times. “Camps for us are an introduction for the kids, that help us build a relationship with them and once
they trust you, that’s when we can help link them into the community and that’s where all the solutions lie,” he said. “If we have farms and workplaces that allow us opportunities to be able to engage with these kids we like to give them a sign that says they’re supporting us, because then for the kids that we work with, they see these signs around and they know that they’re on their team, they’re connected.”
Firearms found following Beechworth shooting POLICE believe two men involved in a fatal shooting at a Beechworth property last week were known to each other, with firearms subsequently located at a Buckland Gap Road residence. A 60-year-old Beechworth man suffered fatal injuries on Thursday evening, with police called to the property around 8:45pm amid reports a man had been injured and there had been a shooting at the property. Police located the man’s body at the front of the home, before identifying an injured man, understood to be the owner of the property, in a rear shed. The latter, also believed to be in his 60s, was airlifted to hospital with suspected gunshot wounds. Homicide and Major Crime Scene Unit detectives undertook sweeping investigations throughout Beechworth late last week, including at a Loch Street address believed to be linked to the deceased man. A police spokesperson said whilst a search of the crime scene remains ongoing, a number of firearms have been located at the property which will now be subject to forensic testing. “Investigators are still working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting but do believe that parties were known to each other,” the spokesperson said.

Writs signal start of state election caretaker mode VOTERS will head to the polls for the second time this year, this time to elect the 60th Victorian Parliament on Saturday, November 26. Governor of Victoria Linda Dessau yesterday issued the writs for the Victorian state election, formally triggering the election process, with candidate nominations opening today. In the Ovens Valley electorate, which includes Wangaratta, so far only in-
cumbent Nationals MP Tim McCurdy, and Liberal Democrats member Julian Fidge, have publicly announced they will nominate for election. The writs will be returned by the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) - the independent and impartial umpire responsible for delivering the state election - after all results are declared, with the names of successful candidates published.
The number of people on the electoral roll has increased by about 235,500 people since the last state election in 2018, so almost 4.4 million Victorians will be casting their vote on or before election day. “Every vote matters,” Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately said. “Voters should be aware of the voting options available and make a plan if they are unable to vote on November 26.
“An increased number of early voting centres will be open from Monday, November 14 to 6pm on Friday, November 25 all around Victoria, and at a number of interstate locations,” Mr Gately said. “You can also apply for a postal vote if you can’t make it to a voting centre or you would just prefer to vote by post.” Telephone-assisted voting will also be available to vot-
ers who are blind, have low vision or those who have a physical disability and require assistance to vote from November 14 to 6pm on election day. Voters in areas impacted by floods occurring on or after Thursday, October 13 and unable to access a voting centre from Saturday, November 19 to 6pm on Saturday, November 26 will also be able to both register and vote using telephone assisted voting.
Voters are also reminded that there is no cut-off age for voting in Victoria. “Voting is a privilege that all eligible Victorians have, but also a responsibility,” Mr Gately said. “If you’re on the roll, you’re expected to vote.” Victorians have until 8pm Tuesday, November 8 to enrol or update their details, which they can do on the VEC website at vec.vic.gov. au.

From page 1 “Works on the Spearing Street side of the station will be activated and it will give a great link to the hospital and the North Eastern Hotel.” Cr Rees explained there will be new shops on Norton Street and with a development of apartments now approved it will make the whole area livelier and more vibrant. “The ARTC has consulted with the public on the Inland Rail with offices in Wangaratta and Glenrowan especially designed to allow people to drop in and comment on the works,” he said. “Not everybody will get what they want with any project - some people will love it and some people won’t and that’s just the way of society.” Ed Walker, ARTC Victoria and South Australia projects general manager, said the award of this construction contract follows all primary planning and environmental approvals for Inland Rail in Victoria being obtained in September, which means they can get on with delivering Inland Rail. “McConnell Dowell has already carried out initial design and preparatory works at four sites on the existing North East Rail Line to enable Inland Rail double-stacked freight trains
to run between Beveridge and Albury,” Mr Walker said. Tom Foley, McConnell Dowell T2A project manager, said ARTC remains committed to meaningful and respectful consultation with the communities in North East Victoria as it continues through delivery activities for these sites. “Tranche 1 of Inland Rail in Victoria will bring tens of millions of dollars of new investment into Victorian towns such as Wangaratta, Glenrowan, Seymour and Barnawartha, and McConnell Dowell is extremely proud to have a part to play in this,” he said. “This project will create fresh opportunities for existing businesses, while supporting the establishment and growth of new businesses. “Our team has worked night and day with the ARTC Inland Rail team over the past two years to make this vision a reality, we are very much looking forward to getting boots on the ground and building infrastructure that will change the way that freight moves around Australia for our future generations.” For more information on Inland Rail in Victoria, visit https://inlandrail.artc.com. au/where-we-go/projects/tottenham-toalbury/.

OXLEY Bush Market stallholders came from far and wide to a part of the event’s revival on Saturday after a three year absence. The bush market accommodated for some 150 stallholders in the grounds of the Oxley Shire Hall with several thousand people passing through for the day.
Stallholder Laura Sundblom from ‘A Slice of Milawa’ said it was exciting to be amongst the atmosphere. “We were really happy with how we ended up, especially with how many people came by,” she said. “To see people enjoying themselves especially after COVID and the weather we’ve had lately it
was good to see people out again. “The preparation was definitely worth it, especially having the helpers there and they were just willing to help set up, pack up, let us know what we needed to do with the muddy weather it was great to have them there.” Prompted by the recommendation of family who live in the area, Jessica Stirling came from
Marysville to sell her chrystal infused candles with her sister’s flowers at the bush market, and she said she did not regret it. “It was really busy; it was great to see lots of people about,” she said. “We ended up moving quite a bit (of stock) so that was nice and we received plenty of comments.”

Major bump in the road
Police outline speeding p g concerns on damaged g North East road network
TESTING DRIVE: Police undertook roadside breath testing along Edwards Street as part of the weekend’s Operation Furlong in Wangaratta.
LOCAL police have called for motorists to ease off the accelerator, amid concerning speeding figures across a road network which suffered significant damage at the hands of recent torrential rainfall. As part of Operation Furlong, which commenced on Friday morning and ran to midnight last night, additional police were deployed along North East thoroughfares ahead of a spike in long-weekend traffic, in an effort to curb dangerous driving behaviours such as drink, drug and fatigued driving, as well as enforce speeding and seatbelt usage. As of yesterday morning, Sergeant Cameron Miller of Wangaratta Highway Patrol said 36 drivers had been issued infringement notices, 16 of which were for speeding, while 688 drug and alcohol tests had been completed across the Wangaratta police service area (PSA). Two drink drivers and two drug drivers were subsequently charged. “Over the timeframes of Operation Furlong it’s been
BY RYAN MALCOLM rmalcolm@ nemedia.com.au
fairly consistent in terms of what we ordinarily see, so there have been no great departures in driver behaviour,” Sgt Miller said. “But that being said there’s been a number of people tested, a number of results and a number of infringements issued as well over the period - especially in terms of speeding, that’s the concern given the recent weather and the resulting condition of roads locally.” The three month stretch between October and December is historically the most dangerous on Victorian roads, with some 66 people killed on Victorian roads during the same period last year. To midnight October 30, some 209 motorists had lost their lives on state roadways, well above the 183 who were killed to the same point in 2021 and 17 more than the five-year average.
Sgt Miller said with the busy holiday period fast approaching, country roads would prove increasingly challenging in the shortterm. “The weather should fine up hopefully, and as we move into the warmer months and the summer period going forward with Christmas and beyond, we will get a lot of visitors to the North East and that’s excellent,” he said. “But we need to remind them that there’s been significant flooding through lots of Victoria, and that road conditions have changed generally for the worse - they will be in need of repair and development for a little way into the future. “(It’s important) to ensure they drive to the conditions and what they can see - especially at night. “On country roads where there’s no street lighting, don’t exceed the speed limit and don’t outdrive your lights and what you can perceive on the road in front of you.”
Maxwell blasts lack of improvement in regional ambulance response By RYAN MALCOLM AMBULANCE response times across the North East have continued to balloon in the last 12 months, with regional residents routinely faced with waits of more than 20 minutes - instead of the desired maximum of 15 minutes - for an emergency code 1 response. Wangaratta-based state MP Tania Maxwell said despite a nearly $500m investment into Ambulance Victoria and emergency despatch services, the service towards regional communities had largely failed to improve. In Q1 data for the 2022/23 financial year, each of Alpine, Indigo and Strathbogie local government areas (LGAs) reported average code 1 response times of more than 24 minutes, with an Ambulance Victoria pledge to reach code 1 callouts within 15 minutes only met 21.8pc of
the time in Indigo Shire. While code 1 response averages in Indigo were among the worst in the state, Wangaratta’s average response time of 16 minutes and 44 seconds was two minutes more than the same time last year and more than a minute longer than 2021/22 Q4 data. Some 64.9pc of code 1 callouts were reached within 15 minutes in the most recent data, a figure which improved to 79.4pc within Wangaratta’s urban centre. The latter represented a two minute and nine second increase in average response times as compared to the same time last year, when 86.5pc of patients were reached within 15 minutes. Ms Maxwell said the widespread investment had failed to create noticeable change in the regions. “Country people are only too well aware of the reality and
tyranny of distance - but the hundreds of millions of dollars pumped into Ambulance Victoria, recruitment and more emergency despatchers in the past six months is not changing our communities’ expectations and experience for the better,” she said. “In August I encouraged the government to work harder and smarter to fix worsening ambulance emergency response times across Northern Victoria. “But no-one in regional and rural Victoria is seeing the radical shift that would actually put more qualified paramedics and ambulance emergency vehicles on the ground where we live. “The state can ramp up investment in home care services, community paramedics, Country Fire Authority trained firefighter responder services, and community campaigns to inform all of us how and when to use triple zero.
“But this government risks lives by doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.” Average response times in Alpine Shire blew out, reaching 24 minutes and 30 seconds in Q1 data, almost two minutes longer than what was recorded at the end of last financial year and just shy of five minutes more than the same time last year. A similar phenomenon was also reported throughout Strathbogie LGA, with an average response time of 25 minutes and 55 seconds the sixth highest in the state, having risen by almost four minutes since the same time last year. Throughout the North East, Mansfield LGA was the only region to see improvement in the last 12 months, with average response times falling from more than 27 minutes to just shy of 23 minutes in the most recent data.

Art show a dazzling success Wangaratta g artist flabbergasted g her ‘Northo’ p painting g wins top pp prize
By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN THE King Valley Art Show made a triumphant return over the weekend, with the exhibition at King Valley Brewing attracting thousands of visitors to admire the talents of local artists. The gala opening on Friday night attracted 200 people, with Indi Independent MP Helen Haines officiating, and acclaimed judge Richard Lewer announcing the awards for the 17 categories, which included a total prize pool of $15,900. The exhibition was then open to the public from Saturday to Monday, where more than 50 of the 300 pieces of art were sold. King Valley Arts president Anita Laurence said everyone was happy to see the art show back to its best, after an absence of several years. “We had a fabulous crowd for the gala opening; the rain didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits about coming,” she said. “It’s a really high standard of artworks as well, two of our exhibiting artists have been selected as semi-finalists for the national Doug Moran portrait prize. “We were really chuffed to have that calibre of artists in our stable of exhibits.” Ms Laurence said she was pleasantly surprised to see nearly half of the 17 prize
WINNER: Grand prize winner Jacqueline Macleish and judge Richard Lewer standing next to Ms Macleish’s winning painting ‘The Northo’ Wangaratta’. PHOTO: Samantha Caddey winners were artists from the North East. “I think it’s quite an amazing achievement, we really are supporting our local artists,” she said. “Many of them were in attendance on Friday night so it was thrilling to see them come up and receive their awards in person.” One of those locals was the marquee grand prize winner of the night, Jacque-
line Macleish of Wangaratta, for her painting of the iconic ‘Northo’ Hotel in Wangaratta. Ms Macleish said she was genuinely shocked to have her name called out as the winner by Mr Lewer. “I consider myself a casual artist, I love art, I appreciate art, I love painting and I’m not in any way formally paid, I just really enjoy it as a pastime,” she said.
“But something like this, I just didn’t see coming at all... I was flabbergasted.” Ms Macleish has been around the Wangaratta art scene for almost 15 years, helping changeover local art at the Wangaratta Cardiology and Respiratory Centre, and being on the committee of Paint Presto, an art competition which used to run in conjunction with the Jazz festival. She said her previous
work around local areas inspired her to submit her piece of the ‘Northo’ Hotel. “It’s a very simple little painting I did during COVID, I took myself up onto the railway bridge opposite the ‘Northo’ and just looked at it from different angles, took a few photos and thought it was a good little iconic pub to paint,” she said. “I do tend to paint things in the region, around the
immediate local vicinity and it took my fancy, it’s a great subject and the judge must’ve thought so too. “Richard said to me a painting doesn’t have to be technically perfect to win, he said they take a lot into consideration and most importantly what evokes in you when you look at it. “As the judge said himself, who doesn’t love an iconic country pub?” Ms Macleish said the $3000 prize money will be dedicated to a new art easel stand, to replace her old one. “I got my husband to make one which I always use, I love it, it’s the funniest old easel, but I might actually lash out now and buy a proper one,” she said. Ms Laurence said the Ms Macleish’s winning piece of art was a symbol of what the King Valley Art Show is all about. “I think it had a lot of charm, I think it really showed that every artwork is a winner and every artwork has qualities that sing to different people’s perception of what art is about,” she said. “A big shout out to all our sponsors, friends and volunteers because it’s an amazing community that share their input and we wouldn’t be able to do it without them.”
Rain cancels today’s Tarra car event By KURT HICKLING

Cup day fever hits the tavern By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN THE cancellation of the Wangaratta Melbourne Cup Day Races yesterday didn’t stop hundreds of race starved punters and locals to get amongst the Melbourne Cup at Flemington. The Old Town and Country Tavern was filled with spectators by the jump of the main event at 3pm, where the tavern was brought to a standstill. Craig Gibbs and Brendan Reid had been parked in front of the TAB since 10am and were having a successful day. “We’re holding our own, a lot of the roughies have got home today which we’ve been
looking out for,” Mr Reid said. Unfortunately for Mr Gibbs and Mr Reid, their backing of form horses Deauville legend and Smokin Romans couldn’t come through for the profit they were hoping for at the beginning of the big race. Another punter, Paul Deering however, was cheering home the $23 outsider Gold Trip as it made a late surge for the lead, and is now reaping the rewards. Mr Deering said when he walked through the doors at the tavern, he had full confidence his horse would come through. “It’s the best horse in Australia, the odds just kept going up and up before the
race and I just didn’t know why,” he said. “It should’ve won the Caulfield Cup, but I thought the jockey slid a little and let the horse down. “They changed out the jockey today and it worked wonders.” A member at the Wangaratta Turf Club, Mr Deering said while it was unfortunate to have the races cancelled, Melbourne Cup Day is a great occasion at the Old Town and Country Tavern. Mr Deering is going on holiday with his wife to the Gold Coast tomorrow, and now has some $2000 extra spending money for the occasion.
NORTH Eastern Car Club’s ‘Show Us Your Car’ event scheduled for tonight at Tarrawingee has been cancelled. Event coordinator Ron Woodward said recent rainfall has made the grounds inaccessible and disappointingly the event has been cancelled. “The car club made the decision yesterday to cancel the event as water was sitting in pools around the grounds and in combination with saturated soils it has made it impossible for cars and foot traffic to be in that area,” he said. “Although our members who are car enthusiasts are saddened by the non-event, we remain optimistic that next year a new date will be set.”

Some 29 Wangaratta West members and friends recently enjoyed a wonderful six day trip to Noosa, staying at the five star RACV Noosa Resort. The group did a canal lunch cruise on the first day, then bus trips to Maleny Botanical Gardens, Glasshouse Mountains, Eumundi Markets, Yandina Ginger Factory and the Village of Montville, plus a shuttle bus from the resort to Noosa shopping area in their spare time. Everything about the trip transport, accommodation and tour guides - was first class, even the weather was kind. Being so popular, another trip to Noosa is being organised for next July. In March the club will enjoy a trip to Warrnambool and attractions along the Great Ocean Road. Guest speaker in October was Leading Senior Constable Helen Parfett (daughter of one of the club’s members). She kept members entertained with a humorous account of when and where she joined the

police, places she has been stationed and jobs she has been assigned to. Helen was presented with a gift. LADIES PROBUS WANGARATTA WANGARATTA Ladies Probus group met on October 17 at the Wangaratta Club. President Tina Norton opened the meeting and welcomed members and guest Mary Garlick. After all groups had given their reports and what is coming up in the next few months, members had morning tea before listening to guest speaker George Lee. George gave his first talk about his life growing up as a Chinese boy in Wangaratta at the June meeting and members were all waiting to hear what happened next. He did not disappoint. George spoke of his school years and how he gained his apprenticeship as a fitter/turner. He also told members about his and his brother’s escapades while fishing and hunting and spoke of
various places and people in Wangaratta. It was disappointing that a short film done by his grandson wouldn’t play properly, so he is returning next month to continue. Members are looking forward to it. WANGARATTA APPIN PARK COMBINED PROBUS THE topic of most conversation has been the “flooding rains” our country is renowned for. Hopefully the impact of this weather system has not seriously affected your family or friends. Members’ hearts go out to those in the most severely affected areas of our state. The October meeting was well attended with president Norman McDonald warmly welcoming a majority of the club’s 71 members,
as well as six guests the club is looking forward to welcoming as new members in the near future. The club’s regular special interest groups are very much enjoyed and social activities are as always well attended with several events still to be enjoyed before Christmas. Unfortunately the planned trip to the cactus farm at Strathmerton had to be postponed last month due to the weather conditions. The guest speakers at the October meeting were from Latrobe Community Health Service and they gave members useful information regarding the ‘My Aged Care’ services available in our area. New members are welcome - you can join the club on the second Tuesday of each month from 10am at the Wangaratta Club.

SOME 43 members and guests attended the October meeting. “Who Am I” was Gerry Knobben, who has led an interesting life of service to Australia. The lucky number draw was won by Heather Ward. Diner’s Club travelled to Chrismont Winery in Cheshunt and enjoyed a fabulous meal. The next luncheon is to be at Sam Miranda Winery with 20 members attending. The Movie Club will see “Mrs Harris Goes to Paris” on November 2. Welfare reports there are still a number of members not feeling the best. A computer expert spoke about to members about the three different webs on the internet - surface, deep and dark webs - and which to avoid. The caravanners are off to Mansfield High Country Caravan Park
from November 13 until November 17, and plan to visit the Jamieson Brewery and Kevington Pub, as well as other attractions in the area. On November 4, some 25 members are travelling by bus to see Dartmouth Dam overflow followed by lunch at Dartmouth Pub. December 2 is the Irish Christmas and December 9 is Christmas luncheon at Remel 185 in Whorouly. The guest speaker was John Weinert from Roadsafe North East who spoke about road safety, particularly pertaining to seniors. It was very informative and members learnt a lot about current safety on the roads. WANGARATTA PROBUS (MEN’S) THE club’s October meeting guest speaker member George Lee. He told us tales of his early childhood in Wangaratta as a Chinese boy growing up - he was only allowed to speak a Chinese language at home and was his father’s interpreter in English. He had a hard time of it and had to work long hours in various jobs. After his initial talk, he showed a video made by a nephew at Swinburne, which portrayed his childhood very well. This film won an award it was very interesting and compelling viewing. George eventually became a teacher at Wangaratta TAFE. The club’s coffee mornings at 10am on first and third Fridays at Intermezzo and monthly pub lunches continue to be popular. Members are planning a Christmas lunch at King River Café. More members are continuing to join the club and if you are interested please contact secretary Bill Bellis on 5722 9222.

Council calls for comment on Wangaratta Creative Precinct renewal works A $20 million Wangaratta Creative Precinct in the Ford and Ovens streets area is part of the latest plan by council to promote and grow its place in the state's cultural tourism market and create jobs. One of the main components of the proposed development is a proposed new art gallery to be built behind the existing

be a loss of 43 carpark spaces as a result of the proposed creative precinct development. Council has released a business case and concept design report that offers three options for funding over 10 years, ranging from a one-time spend of $18.495m, a six-stage approach costing $19.999m, or a cheaper third option
If council decides to go with the staged approach, stage one is estimated to cost $1.528m, stage two $916k, stage three - $2.175m, stage four - $3.761m, stage five - $3.379m, and stage six - $8.237m. The staged approach would include council cash of $4.57m, borrowings of $4.5m, government grants/ philanthropic funding of
that would only maintain existing infrastructure costing $2.298m. Each option has varying levels of benefit, with the staged option expected to attract 162,478 visitors, accumulate a $28.227m annual cultural visitor spend, create about 132.2 equivalent full time jobs in the region, and generate a $10.556m total annual regional income.
$10.93m, equalling $20m. One of the main components would be the transition of the two arts and cultural services - the Wangaratta Art Gallery (WAG) and the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre (WPACC) - as well as the relocation of visitor information services from Murphy Street. ■ Continued page 2

Country stacks up in VCE
A STUDENT’S ability to apply themselves during their schooling is a large part of how they perform in VCE, but there are many other factors that contribute their desired outcome such as getting into a university course of their choice. Despite students dealing with adversity from the pandemic in 2020 and the touted country-city education divide, they performed reasonably well judging by the VCE study scores released by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCCA).

“I’ll jump straight in this year I think because my initial plans to have a gap year and travel aren’t likely now. “Eventually I want to go into allied health overseas and Kayla and I have always talked about collaborating; she’s more interested in the politics side and I’d do the health side so that could be cool.”

Warriors outclassed by Saints
By WILLSON MACK
WANGARATTA Warriors couldn’t get the chocolates in their round five clash against Myrtleford on Sunday at the Wangaratta Indoor Sports and Aquatic Centre. Myrtleford showed they were on early, jumping out to a five-point first quarter lead and the Warriors never recovered. Despite efforts from Wangaratta’s Liam Wright (30 points) and Brodie Paul (19 points), Myrtleford proved too strong running away to a convincing 96-80 victory. Wangaratta coach Adam Maher said his side didn’t show up on the day. “Taking nothing away from Myrtleford we had our chances and definitely aren’t a worse side than them,” Maher said. “We didn’t play as good as them on the day and their players really stood up. “They had great shooters and our defence didn’t adjust to that. “We just didn’t play 40 minutes of basketball, we played well throughout periods but weren’t consistent across the whole game.” The Saints had many contributors across the floor with Kobe Shewry (27 points), Ryley Bouker (24 points), Tyler Barker and Toby Cossor (18 points) all
putting on dominant displays. “We actually thought we shut Kobe down until I saw his score at the end of the game and he had 27,” Maher said. “They’ve got some great shooters - Bouker, Barker and Shewry shot the lights out. “We were the opposite and didn’t shoot very well, I thought our shot selection wasn’t great at times and we weren’t good from the foul line. “If we made more of our free throws the score line mightn’t be as bad.” Despite the loss, Maher admitted there are still positives. “Our boys want to play with each other,” Maher said. “We’ve thrown a team together last minute and haven’t been able to train much and have only played three games together so I can’t be too critical of them. “Hopefully we can put another win together soon.” Wangaratta now turns their attention to a doubleheader on November 12 and 13 against Albury Cougars and Wodonga Wolves. The Cougars have had a solid start to their CBL campaign winning two from three games, while Wodonga have won one from four.

Warrior women outmatched by Saints By NATHAN DE VRIES SUNDAY saw a chance slip through Wangaratta’s fingers, as the Warriors’ CBL women side suffered a 48-67 loss to Myrtleford at the Wangaratta Indoor Sports and Aquatic Centre. Initially scheduled for a double header, the Warriors’ Saturday game against Shepparton Gators was cancelled due to the stadium’s condition after flooding in the area. Wangaratta came out with intent and hit the scoreboard hard in the first quarter against the Saints, leading by four points, but an uncharacteristically quiet second and third term only saw the Warriors add 15 points to their total.
Down 31-57 heading into the final quarter of play, the Warriors rallied behind Taylah Reidy (21 pts for the match), but just couldn’t get over the line. Coach Scott Butler said it was a missed opportunity. “We were all a little bit disappointed with the result in the end, because we thought we would’ve come away with the win,” he said. “We always knew it was going to be a reasonably tough game, I think we were all a little bit disappointed because a few things happened through the game, just shifted and probably went against us a little bit. “There are things we learn from and we’ll just have to move
forward and see if we can get them next time.” Butler said the side would address the second and third quarter lull, and aim for a consistent performance when they next front up for a match on November 12 and 13. “It was the second and third quarter which was our trouble, so it was the middle of the game - in the last quarter we outscored them again,” he said. “We spoke some honest truths with each other and we made sure we adjusted to that. “Once again, we’re there but we’re still working out who we are, our character and our team. “Having such a new team, we just haven’t actually played together, a different coach, so
there are a lot of different things happening. “I can’t fault the girls though, they were really good. “Taylah monstered it, to tell you the truth, she was just incredible. “Both the Reidy girls were really good - Jorja’s still finding her way a little bit, but Taylah was incredible. “She really stepped up, she was exhausted but she just kept on going. “We know we’ve got some really tough games coming up but it’s all about character building. “It is still the start of the season so hopefully we can build towards the end of the season and hopefully still be in the fight.”
Another gold for 400m sensation By WILLSON MACK WANGARATTA’S running sensation Bella Pasquali has continued her rise by winning gold at the Victorian All Schools Track and Field Championships in Melbourne on Saturday. The 16-year-old put the rest of the field away in emphatic fashion to win the under-17 women’s 400m final in a time of 57.15 seconds. Pasquali hit the front with just over 100m to go, with none of her competitors able to chase her down the final straight. Pasquali admitted conditions were tough. “I’m really pleased,” Pasquali said after the race. “It was a very windy race, for the first 150200 metres there was so much headwind, so by the final straight I was a bit dead but I had the tailwind which helped me through. “I think you can always do better but that was pretty good considering the conditions out there.” Pasquali will now target the Australian All Schools Championships which take place in Adelaide from December 9-11.

Bring on the sun WITH the Wangaratta and District Cricket Association entering its fourth round this weekend with a trifecta of washed out fixtures, wet weather continues to be the bane of cricketers across the region. Wangaratta itself has experienced its wettest October in over a century, and other towns around the region are experiencing heavy flooding. Pitch curators have been battling against the elements to cut, roll and prepare suitable decks for when the competition does finally get the green light to start.
Pitch Pit h curators t praying p yi g for f sunnyy conditions diti for f wicket i k t prep p p BY NATHAN DE VRIES ndevries@ nemedia.com.au
Barry Grant, head curator of the Wangaratta Magpies CC’s Showgrounds wicket, said sunshine and warm days were desperately needed sooner rather than later. “I mowed it and cut it, I’ve rolled it when I can a couple of weeks ago when there was a break in the weather, but in the end, you’ve just got to get some sunny days on it,” he said.
“I got a roll on it Sunday, before the rain, but I couldn’t cover it due to the run-ups and things like that, and it was still pretty soft with the roller on it as well. “Just hopefully there’s some good sunny weather, just two or three days of good, clear weather and sunshine on it just to bake it, and we should be OK. “There’s pretty good grass coverage on the pitch anyway, being such an established deck. “In the end, it’s just wait and see - touch wood there’s a break in the weather and
we get some sunshine on it, and we get a decent playable deck.” Unlike their neighbours at the W J Findlay Oval, the showgrounds wicket is uncovered, with Grant banking on a break in the weather and his gut instinct to raise the best deck possible. “If you cover it, if the wicket’s soft and you cover it, it’s not going to do it much good anyway - you need sun on it, that’s what’s going to make it,” he said. “By covering it, sometimes that doesn’t do it any good either.
“In the end, I’ve backed my judgement and tried to get some sun on it.” With the odds of getting a start to the season this weekend growing slimmer with every drop of rain, the WDCA has made the call to play one–day matches through to the Christmas break, with the two–day competition, originally set to begin this Saturday, to commence in the New Year. “To get some games under our belts and get some results, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to play all the onedayers before Christmas un-
til you get some continuity in the weather,” Grant said. “There’s nothing worse than if we start this weekend then next weekend we’re washed out and it’s a no-result. “I’m not sure what any of the other clubs’ thoughts are on it, but maybe we push for one-dayers, get them all out of the road. “You want to have the competition as even as possible, but that’s up for them to decide. “I think they just want to play, to get some matches and results in, and also for the evenness of the competition.”

Helping little people handle big emotions By SIMONE KERWIN
KYLIE Mort’s passion for helping young people draw the most from their educational journey has seen her evolve from teacher to author. Originally from Tolmie and now a Benalla resident who travels often to Wangaratta where children Kenzie and Darcy attend Cathedral College, Kylie moved from teaching to tutoring in 2009 as she felt she could help empower more young people with the skills to tackle school. In tandem with her tutoring, she began studying psychology part-time, and found that the two meshed beautifully. Through her psychology research, Kylie learnt more about strategies often used to assist those with conditions like ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) in coping with anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed, and to help regulate emotions. She realised these strategies could be employed not only for those with ADHD, but for all children, and decided the information she’d gathered could be best delivered to parents and children through a picture book.

Cancer in pets UNFORTUNATELY, as with people, cancer is a relatively common finding in older animals - generally above eight years of age. Cancer is the development of abnormal cells in the body that replicate in an uncontrolled manner. Most often cancers present with a lump, although some are diffuse, and found in the blood or various organs and are much harder to diagnose. All the tissues in the body have the potential to become cancerous and the symptoms seen will vary depending on location. The symptoms of cancer can be very varied and include masses on skin, vomiting and diarrhoea from intestinal tumours, blood in urine with bladder tumours, coughing with lung tumours, or are non-descript like weight loss or lethargy. To diagnose cancer, your vet will perform a range of different tests. A biopsy of the cancerous tissue is often the most diagnostic test your vet will perform, it will not only diagnose a cancer but also determine which type of cancer is present. This is very important to determine the best course of treatment as well as the overall prognosis.
with Felix DeNatris, Wangaratta Veterinary Clinic Your vet will also often recommend running blood tests to look at various parameters in the blood that affect treatment and prognosis and will often also perform chest radiographs to look for spread of the cancer. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Surgery will generally be recommended for any discrete masses as removing the tumour can often be curative. For more diffuse cancers such as lymphoma, chemotherapy is the treatment option of choice. Chemotherapy for animals differs from human chemotherapy. Generally, the chemotherapy agents are much less aggressive than human drugs, so pets will not lose their hair and nausea is short lived and mild. The goals of animal chemotherapy often don’t include curing the animal, but is focused on improving their quality of life. If you are concerned about any lumps or any health issue with your pet book in for a consultation with your vet.

◆ VERSATILE: There are so many things you can do with your homegrown herbs.
Medicinal plants for your garden HERBAL medicine week was celebrated October 23-30 so today we will share with you some herbs that grow very easily in our area. We are spoiled with our very distinct seasons (well, normally - how is this rain?) in our region, allowing us to grow a wide variety of medicinal plants. Proper site selection allows you to grow even the most sensitive of plants so do your research and create a spot for that herb you just can’t live without. Parsley, evening primrose, elderflower, bay, chamomile, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, calendula, mints, violets, yarrow and comfrey are exceptionally hardy and will self-seed/duplicate with ease. Withania, hyssop, chinacea, astragalus, tulsi, Siberian ginseng, licorice and linden all adapt very well to our climate. Then there are our weed herbs; mellos, St John’s wort, mullein, dandelion and St Mary’s thistle.
Now that you are growing them, what do you do with them? • Tincture them by preserving or steeping in vodka, brandy, glycerine or vinegar. • Dry them for teas, washes or rinses. Important: please speak to a naturopath before consuming tinctures. • Add them fresh to your salads, soups, stews or use as an edible garnish. • Steep in honey for a delicious lick or herbal spread for scones or toast. • Infuse in oils to add flavour to food or use topically for skin conditions. • Make cordials, syrups, champagne and coffee substitutes.

WINE TALK
YOUR HEALTH Michelini Wines 2021 Marzemino
FOR weeks now I’ve had people ask me what I’m doing for Christmas this year. Truth is it can be a struggle sometimes to get through the week, so making plans for December is something I’m not ready to cast my mind to. Having said that, I’ve always been one of those annoying people who likes to put things away for Christmas, so the giftgiving side at least isn’t much of a problem. If I’m enjoying a day out or touring the region, I keep an eye out for things which fit the bill for loved ones, knowing it will be special and also support the local stores we visit. Wine is also handy to put away, especially something which fits the season like Michelini Wines Marzemino. The deep, ruby red wine made from fruit grown in the Buckland Valley has really inviting aromas of wild berries and a hint of warm, earthy spice. It has a lush and generous feel in the mouth - juicy with ripe berry fruits and plum and a delicate touch of oak - which remind you of plum pudding. It’s definitely moreish and
with Anita McPherson
has a celebratory feel, which is something guests will appreciate around the festive table or to receive as a gift, and it pairs beautifully with rich meaty braises or roast duck. Or you could keep it to yourself. It’s good to be prepared no matter how you’re spending Christmas. COST: About $25 a bottle.

Some important facts about long COVID
LONG COVID is an emerging condition and there is a lot of study going on about it at the moment in many countries including the UK, Australia and USA. There is a lot we don’t know yet about how it works and affects people in the long term, however here are some important facts that have emerged so far. What is long COVID? It is a term to describe the effects of Covid-19 that continue for weeks or months beyond the initial illness. If a patient experiences symptoms of Covid-19, and other symptoms that cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis, 12 weeks or more after infection, that patient may have long COVID or ‘post-COVID syndrome’. Who is at high risk? 1. Patients who have experienced severe illness during their acute COVID-19 illness, including requiring intensive care; 2. Having pre-existing comorbidities eg; respiratory disease including asthma, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, chronic cardiovascular disease, post organ transplantation or active cancer; 3. Patients over the age of 60 years; and 4. Females. What are the symptoms of long COVID? Symptoms may be new following initial recovery from the acute COVID-19 episode, or persistent from the initial illness. Symptoms may also fluctuate or relapse over time. Most commonly reported symptoms are: fatigue including ‘brain fog’, shortness of breath, loss of smell and muscle ache. Other symptoms may include heart palpitations including POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), chest pain or tightness, dizziness, blurred vision, anxiety, depression or an inability to feel pleasure and enjoy things, hallucinations, amnesia, difficulty in sleeping, changes of skin and hair including hair loss, erectile dysfunction, persistent cough and bowel incontinence. POTS refers to a condition where standing up makes your heart race leading to symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision and tremors. This can be misdiagnosed as anxiety. Brain fog is where you struggle to think or form memories, poor concentration and lack of mental clarity. If you have any of the above symptoms after a COVID-19
with Ravindra Abeyawardana (MBBS, FRACGP), South Wangaratta and Docker Street General Medical Centres infection, it’s advisable to speak to your regular GP. When should you seek urgent medical help? If you have severe, new onset or worsening shortness of breath or sudden onset, unexplained chest pain, palpitations. If you have any of the above symptoms you need to attend the emergency department or call the ambulance immediately. Is there a test for long COVID? Unfortunately there isn’t any test to diagnose long COVID. It’s a condition that isn’t fully understood yet. Your GP will organise tests such as blood tests, ECG, echocardiogram, chest x-ray, lung function test and blood pressure and heart rate check, to exclude other conditions which cause similar symptoms. How do you treat long COVID? Unfortunately, there is no single standard treatment. Your doctor will have a holistic, person centred approach in treating long COVID. This includes: 1. Keeping a diary of your symptoms - to find things that flare it up and avoid them; 2. Pacing yourself. Spread out work and activities where possible and rest before you become exhausted. Get as much possible sleep as you need; 3. Try to gradually increase the amount of exercise and activity by setting small goals and working your way up. Allied Health support can be valuable; 4. Gradually return to work considering the demands of the individual job; 5. Eat healthy (a Mediterranean diet helps brain health) and stick to safe drinking limits (no more than 10 standard drinks per week) or don’t drink at all; 6. If your symptoms are prolonged and have a big impact on you, your GP can refer you to a specialist rehabilitation service. Does getting vaccinated reduce the risk of long COVID? Yes. There are studies and evidence that show being fully vaccinated reduces the risk of developing long COVID.

Helping little people handle big emotions ■
From page 1
The result was ‘Little People, Big Emotions’, illustrated by Tiina Morton, which has this year collected a gold award in the Western Australian-based MMH Book Awards as well as a gold in the Able book awards this month. There’s a chance of more awards on the horizon before the end of 2022, but Kylie said ultimately the most rewarding aspect of developing the book has been the opportunity to help young people and their families. “Being a one-on-one tutor, I was saying the same thing over and over to parents, who are often overwhelmed themselves, and are wanting to do the best by their kids,” she said. “That was what started the whole idea. “I love sharing picture books even with older kids, so this is a great way to get the message across. “I’m just trying to reach as many people as possible.” ‘Little People, Big Emotions’ aims to remind children that they are important, special, safe and loved, no matter how they are feeling, and that there are people around them to
help them deal with their emotions. It speaks of times when the mind is “a mean monster”. “I can’t control it, and it catches me. It drags me to places I don’t want to go. It makes me feel painful emotions like anger, sadness and frustration...but that’s okay too,” it reads, showing how people including parents and teachers can help when these situations arise. Notes for parents and teachers are provided at the back, to deepen discussion about the content of ‘Little People, Big Emotions’, with a QR code also providing a link to a study guide exploring themes, symbols and literary devices in the book. Kylie said feedback about the book had been positive, and she had enjoyed a recent author visit to Whorouly Primary School to talk to students. “I was reading a psychology article the other day which said studies had shown that kids who understood how to control their emotions were more successful throughout their lives; with this book, I’m aiming to help develop strong, resilient kids,” she said.

“It’s important to reach parents too, because kids are going to feel special, important, safe and loved when they feel their parents are involved in their lives, and want to know their thoughts and ideas. “I want to engage parents, because they are so important to that holistic development of a child. “A lot of parents don’t know just how important they are. “Young people need to know that everything they’re going through and overwhelmed by, that’s okay, and sometimes when they can’t control it, that’s okay too.” Kylie has also developed an app, ‘How to Write With Kylie Mort’, which offers a stepby-step guide to developing full-formed essays, further developing her work in assisting young people finding it tricky to navigate school-based tasks. “I’m just so passionate about this kind of thing,” she said.

GONE FISHING
with Kyahn Van Der Poel
“SOME things in your memory can carry on hurting.” ‘I’ll Keep You Close’ is the debut novel of author Jeska Verstegen. It is a children’s historical fiction novel aimed at ages eight to 12. Published on February 1 this year, ‘I’ll Keep You Close’ is a story based on Jeska’s own family history. She is a descendant of Emanuel Querido, the well-known Jewish-Dutch publisher who was captured and killed by the Nazis in World War 2. It’s amazing how Jeska can recreate the mind of an 11-year-old so proficiently. Currently living in Amsterdam, Jeska originally published ‘I’ll Keep You Close’ in Dutch, but it was translated into English by Bill Nagelkerke. The novel features a young girl Jeska - who learns about the Holocaust in school, but when she comes home, there is no talk of the war allowed. When her grandmother mistakenly calls her ‘Hesje’, Jeska sets out on a quest to find out the truth about her past. With the help of an old family album, an encyclopaedia collection and the friendship of a stray cat, she finally uncovers the mystery of her history. Jeska said in an interview: “This book tells the story of my mother and grandmother, who lost many family members in WW2...My mother did not speak about it until later on in life. Silence was her solution.” At the end of the book, Jeska added a small black and white photo of Hesje, and a description that would have been written on her tombstone - Hesje JasQuerido, born 15 May 1939, died 11 June 1943, Sobibor. I’d give this book a three and a half out of five. The first sentence sucked me in right away with its beautiful phrasing: “A school is a kind of monster with a belly full of children. “In the morning it gobbles the children up, and in the afternoon it spits them all out again.” Written in first person, I found that it read more like a journal than a novel.
◆ DEAD: A large, dead yellowbelly. These floods are great up here in the top of the catchment, but downstream they are leading to fish kills in a number of waterways.
Floods part of the circle of fish life, and death
◆ UNFORGETTABLE DEBUT: Based on true family history from WW2.
I would definitely recommend this to eight to 12-year-olds because of the way it is written. As a 16-year-old, it was hard for me to get into the book. Even saying that, this novel was unforgettable, and is a definite recommendation for middle fiction. It’s described by author Alice Pung as “a quiet, child’s-eye look into the ef-
fects of intergenerational trauma, from a guileless, devastating poet. Beautiful and unforgettable.” ‘I’ll Keep You Close’ by Jeska Verstegen (Allen & Unwin), RRP $16.99 • We have a copy of this book to give away to one lucky reader.

WHILE this constant rain and flooding is excellent news for the future of fishing, especially high up in the catchments, it can spell disaster in the lower reaches of the river systems. Here in Wangaratta the flooding will provide ideal conditions for spawning Murray cod. When cod spawn, the eggs hatch and the baby cod feed off their yolk sacks. Once the yolk sack is depleted they then move onto to larger food items. For many of our native fish species, those larger food sources come in the form of microorganisms that are found in flood waters. So in short, the floods provide food for the baby cod, preventing them from starving to death after they finish feeding off their yolk sacks. Early in spring time it is the Murray cod that benefit the most. As the weather warms up and the water warms with it, the same conditions may benefit yellowbelly which spawn in the same conditions as Murray cod, but with a higher water temperature. So for this area the floods are a blessing to spawning native fish. In the trout streams the flooding is also very beneficial, providing large amounts of food and cooler, well oxygenated water for the trout to feed and thrive.

with Rob Alexander WANGARATTA Downstream however, the floods are wreaking havoc with fish kills reported from many areas of the lower Murray River, Broken Creek and lower Goulburn River. These fish kills are blamed mainly on hypoxic water. That is, water with a low dissolved oxygen content which builds in lagoons on the forest floors and is washed back into the main rivers by flooding. With increased algal blooms, farm pesticides and herbicides along with general waste water disposal, I can not help but think that there is more to these regular fish kills than low dissolved oxygen levels alone. Naturally, these floods are vital and wonderful, but through manipulated flow regimes, chemicals and pollution we have made them toxic in the lower reaches of our waterways. As humans... we desperately need to research why this keeps happening and fix this problem.
