CANCER COMPO Former Wangaratta g MP helps p leave lasting g legacy g y on female firefigghting g support pp

A FOUR-year fight which will now see female-specific cancers included under the state’s presumptive rights scheme for firefighters is set to be a key aspect of the legacy of former Wangaratta state upper house MP Tania Maxwell.

Attorney-general Jaclyn Symes recently announced firefighters diagnosed with primary site cervical,

ovarian or uterine cancers would be eligible for fair access to compensation, as part of new legislation to be presented to parliament in the coming weeks.

The expansion of

the scheme would see firefighters who have served for 10 years and are diagnosed with the cancers on or after June 1, 2016 qualify for compensation.

They would not need to prove firefighting had directly caused their condition.

Ms Maxwell, who did not retain her upper-house seat in last year’s November

election, had campaigned for female-specific cancers to be included under the scheme throughout her term, and said it was a fantastic outcome for all female firefighters and volunteers across the state.

“I’m absolutely elated and to think I will have been instrumental in changing this legislation is a wonderful legacy to

evidence has now come out of Canada and the USA so it’s about time that this was implemented.

leave,” she said.

“To think now that they (State Government) have just put forward those three female-specific cancers, as we first requested, is just phenomenal and I am just so pleased that it includes CFA as well.

“I just think we’re now going to see equality – we have enough female firefighters, the scientific

Cancer compensation scheme slated for expansion ■ From page 1

The Liberals and Nationals have announced their support in principle for the expansion of the scheme, but noted it would be reviewed by the shadow cabinet.

South Wangaratta CFA brigade captain Lesley Forman said despite always making efforts to reduce their exposure to contaminants, firefighters were conscious of the risk they faced whenever they were on the fireground.

She said it was comforting to know individuals and families would be supported in the long-term.

“(Awareness around risk) is embedded in all of your training, right from the general firefighting (GFF) training program through and as a crew leader or an incident controller it comes as part of that safety (focus) for all of the people involved when they enter an incident,” she said.

“As studies have become published and it’s definitely hit the media, you’re probably more mindful of it, that there are risks in terms of cancers beyond the normal sorts of risks that you would see and be exposed to.

“It’s certainly nice that governments and other or-

WEATHER

ganisations are recognising these things do exist and they do impact on not just the individual but also families and there can be quite a time lag.

“I hope that any sorts of cancers that are listed (going forward), they don’t have to have the same battle that’s certainly occurred just to get these ones across the board.”

CFA Wangaratta deputy group officer Garry Nash said the outcome was the result of tireless advocacy

by Ms Maxwell, as well as firefighting bodies such as Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV) and the

United Firefighters Union.

“It’s really very gratifying that Tania when she was an MP took up the cause - being a volunteer firefighter herself – very passionately on behalf of female firefighters with CFA,” he said.

“When you have an incident it affects everybody, and everybody should be given the same insurance and protection whether you’re a volunteer or a paid firefighter.

“It’s a great relief for volunteer female firefighters to know they’re going to be cared for and looked after going forward.”

A NEW, free peer support group for parents and guardians of neurodiverse people will hold its first gathering in Wangaratta tomorrow evening.

To be held at Kids Plus, at 47 Ryley Street (next door to Watermarc) from 7pm to 8pm on Thursday, June 15, the facilitated mutual support group is open to all parents and guardians of anyone who is neurodiverse.

Deb Humphreys is one of two local volunteers with lived experience who have created the support group, and she hopes others will join in the chance to ‘refill their cup’ by sharing time and engaging with peers.

She said the group planned to meet fortnightly at first, then monthly or as required by participants, with its structure and topics to be tailored to the needs of those taking part.

“We will gauge interest, see how it evolves, and go where the group wants to take it,” she said.

Deb will draw not only on her experience as a carer, but also her skills as a facilitator for the peer selfsupport group, and she said there would be a range of opportunities for participants to share and learn from others.

She said the group was open to all ages - from those caring for adults, through to parents, carers and guardians of children - and would offer the chance to explore the joys and challenges of the neurodiversity journey.

“It’s so important to have these connections with others to feel nourished and sustained,” she said.

For more information about the peer support group, contact Deb Humphreys on 0490 286 968.

SPRINGHURST Old Time Dance will be held on Saturday, June 17 from 7.30pm to 11pm at the Springhurst Hall.

Entry is $10 per person, and those attending are asked to bring a plate of supper to share.

Music will be provided by the Rustic Ramblers.

For more information, phone 5726 5241.

COVID continues general plateau, decline WHILE there were two more local COVID-19 cases reported to the Department of Health in the last weekly reporting period, broader signs across the state point to a decline.

Active Wangaratta case numbers reached a peak of 69 this year on May 19 but they have since fallen away, down to 32 as of last week.

Across the state, 6135 COVID-19 cases were reported to the department, a decrease of 28 per cent from the previous week.

Springhurst dance on Saturday

The number of COVID hospitalisations also fell last week, and quantitative wastewater levels indicating variants in the wastewater - have also declined.

Despite the positive signs, there are still currently 356 COVID patients in Victorian hospitals and 17 in intensive care, while 64 COVIDrelated deaths were reported to the department in the past week, so the situation remains serious.

There are still 4.2 million Victorians who are eligible but have

not had their 2023 booster dose, which remains the best way to protect yourself and the community from COVID-19.

The department says we should take a test if we have symptoms and stay home if we are sick.

Booster appointments are available through a local GP or pharmacy including South Wangaratta Medical Centre and Ramsay Pharmacy in Ovens Street, or visit www.healthdirect.gov.au to search for a provider.

AN Edi Upper man who went missing in the King Valley late last week was located safely two days after his initial disappearance.

Police launched a largescale search utilising ground and air patrols through the King Valley and Myrrhee forest area after 45-year-old Samuel was reported missing, having last been seen in Edi Upper around 5am on Wednesday.

A police spokesperson confirmed Samuel had been found safe ahead of the weekend.

“Missing man Samuel was located safe and well in Whitfield on June 9,” the spokesperson said.

“Police located Sam following sightings of him in the area by members of the public.

“Victoria Police would like to thank the members of the public and the media for their assistance.”

Significant rainfall of up to 140mm in the King River catchment on Thursday morning had previously complicated the police search.

FOUND: 45-year-old Edi Upper man Sam was located in Whitfield.

Two hospitalised after Bungeet crash Flood threat

By RYAN MALCOLM TWO men were hospitalised in Wangaratta after veering into a tree while driving near Bungeet early on Tuesday morning.

Emergency services were called to Bungeet Road just after 7.30am, locating a 25-year-old male driver and his 19-year-old

male passenger, both from Kialla, after their Jeep station wagon had veered off the road and into a tree.

An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said both had been injured in the crash, but were in a stable condition immediately following the incident.

The 19-year-old was said to

have suffered upper body injuries, while the 25-year-reported upper body pain, and both were subsequently transported to Northeast Health Wangaratta.

Benalla SES crews were also in attendance, but were not required to extricate the pair from the vehicle, while a single Boweya CFA unit also responded.

A police spokesperson urged anyone who may have witnessed the crash to contact authorities.

“Anyone who witnessed the collision or with dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au,” the spokesperson said.

By RYAN MALCOLM

FLOOD warnings throughout the North East have largely been lifted, with river levels expected to gradually decline in the coming days.

Having peaked with moderate flooding at 12.51m early on Saturday morning, the Ovens River at Wangaratta receded below the minor flood level (11.9m) on Monday afternoon, and had fallen to 11.5m as of 3pm yesterday.

The King River also reached a peak of 4.08m at Docker Road on Friday morning, falling just below the major flood level, but had receded to some 70cm below the minor flood level as of Tuesday afternoon.

The North East’s only remaining flood warning concerns the Kiewa River at Bandiana.

Minimal rain is anticipated in the coming days, with some 5.4mm recorded at Wangaratta Aero’s automatic weather station (AWS) to 3pm yesterday.

Up to 6mm is forecast to fall on Wangaratta before Friday.

A VEHICLE which was found ablaze in South Wangaratta early on Sunday morning has been linked to an alleged burglary in the local area at the weekend.

Detective Senior Constable Tim Doyle of Wangaratta Criminal Investigation Unit said police had responded to the Reiths Road blaze around 6.30am, locating an allegedly stolen Holden VE utility on fire near the intersection with Shanley Street.

He said police were unsure exactly when the car had been torched, but said it was clear it had been “deliberately set alight”.

The vehicle was allegedly stolen as part of an overnight burglary “not far away” from the Reiths Road site, according to DSC Doyle.

He said the roads would have likely been quiet in the lead-up to the blaze, and urged anyone who was in the area who may have noticed suspicious behaviour to contact Wangaratta Crime Investigation Unit on 5723 0888.

Reports can also be made by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Today’s a second, but lasting retirement for veteran fireman

Let's talk about funerals

FORMER Country Fire Authority (CFA) regional officer, Neil Brock, will start his second retirement today when he finishes his job at District 23 headquarters.

He originally retired from his command role in 1995 then returned to the CFA in 2003 to work part time with volunteer brigades by organising and sourcing new equipment.

Mr Brock originally only returned for temporary project work, but said he was happy to stay on permanently, especially to work with volunteers.

“It was a useful job, you saw a lot of purpose in what you were doing,” he said.

SECOND RETIREMENT: Neil Brock, pictured with wife Helen, will finish his job at CFA District 23 headquarters today.

“The job that volunteers do is really phenomenal.”

Mr Brock will also be honored at a farewell event tonight.

He said he had mixed feelings about retirement because it means leaving members he has spent so much time with and an organisation he has been part of since joining as a volunteer when he was 16.

When Mr Brock started

as regional officer in 1975, the Region 23 headquarters were at Benalla and he kept a CFA radio in his house, which was also monitored by his wife, Helen, when he was not home.

“There was a lot that the spouses did in those times,” he said.

His son, David, is also involved with the CFA in a more official role as one of the senior station officers with the Wangaratta Fire Brigade.

The CFA has also become like “a big family” to Mr Brock and he said the challenge for the organisation is to keep it that way.

Royal time at wineries for locals and visitors alike

By CHLOE JAENICKE PEOPLE came from all over to enjoy the wineries and brewery of Glenrowan on the King’s Birthday Weekend.

Baileys of Glenrowan, Booths Tamnick Cellars and Morrisons of Glenrowan opened their doors to visitors from Victoria, interstate and overseas.

“We had a beautiful young crowd of about 10 people from Argentina,” Dianne Morrison from Morrisons of Glenrowan said.

“It was so delightful, and they totally loved it.”

As well as visitors to the region, the wineries also played host to many locals with accompanying guests.

“There were quite a few locals who had visiting friends or family for the weekend that came out to do something in their own area,” said Jenny Booth, from Booths Tamnick Cellars.

“We had quite a few return visitors, one couple said they’ve been coming to this festival for something like 20 years and they returned from Melbourne and said they wouldn’t miss it.”

“We’ve been very happy with the number that’s come through, even though it’s less than in past boom years,” she said.

“The turnover might

have been down in terms of the numbers, they were still strong again on Sunday.”

Despite the weather being cold, Ms Booth said the sunshine helped everyone come together and have a great weekend.

“Quite often you have

people come as a couple sitting outside in the sun and just having some lunch or some beers or a wine and they actually start talking and getting in a group together,” she said.

Ms Morrison said part of the weekend’s success was

due to the support they had received from the Rural City of Wangaratta council.

“They helped with some event funding sponsorships and were helpful to the Glenrowan wine region event,” she said.

Some duck hunters, protesters breach laws DURING the 2023 duck season, Game Management Authority’s (GMA) authorised officers undertook 469 patrols at 216 individual wetlands across Victoria.

Authorised officers checked more than 1212 game licences and 981 hunter bags.

Most hunters GMA spoke to were complying with the law and enjoying their time on the wetlands.

However, some hunters and protesters were in breach of game hunting and public safety laws.

Breaches to hunting laws detected throughout the season included failure to comply with the season arrangements, hunting without a valid game licence, possession of toxic shot, two hunters were found

to have exceeded the daily bag limit and one hunter failed to immediately dispatch a retrieved duck.

Breaches to public safety laws detected included entering a wetland without authorisation, hindering and harassing hunters and people littering and leaving campfires unattended, As a result, the GMA will issue 19 infringement notices and is currently conducting 17 investigations.

A total of 45 breaches were detected throughout the 2023 duck season.

GMA director of compliance and intelligence Paul Stevens said the GMA works in partnership with multiple government agencies to monitor and regulate the 2023 duck hunting season.

“While some people breached game hunting and public safety laws, most people authorised officers spoke to were compliant,” Mr Stevens said.

“Thank you to everyone who acted safely and responsibly during the 2023 duck season.”

The GMA works in partnership with Victoria Police, the Department of Energy, Environment, and Climate Action (DEECA), the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR), Victorian Fisheries Authority and Parks Victoria to regulate the duck season.

Report illegal hunting and breaches to public safety laws to the GMA, visit Report Illegal Hunting or call 136 186.

SOME FALLOUT: As a result of the season, the Game Management Authority will issue 19 infringement notices and is currently conducting 17 investigations.

Alpine fire risk rises as winter sets in

By RYAN MALCOLM SPECIALIST alpine fire brigades are urging visitors to the region to practice the same fire protocols they would at home while enjoying upcoming trips to the snowfields.

CFA alpine commander Mark Owens said the community should be reminded that fire safety is year-round, with fire risk often increasing as the colder months prevail.

“We want people to enjoy themselves, but to remember to be safe and exercise common sense around fire and heating,” he said.

“During winter and particularly the snow season, the fire risk for accommodation in the area is higher as people switch on heaters, electric blankets, and light fires more frequently to keep themselves warm.

“Alpine brigades have been undertaking training and skill maintenance ahead of the season to ensure they are ready to respond in emergencies in all conditions.

“Our brigades have been very active in the past few weeks and will continue their great work by hosting open sessions for people involved in the local tourism industry and wider community to ensure they are all prepared.

“Make simple decisions to stay safe – don’t dry your ski gear or clothes in front of an open fire, make sure you and your family know what to do in the event of a fire and never leave cooking unattended.”

On average there are 3000 house fires in Victoria each year, with most able to be prevented by taking simple precautions, such as using a fire screen in front of an open fire, or leaving drying clothes at least one metre away from all heating.

Other ways to mitigate risk include never leaving portable heaters or fireplaces unattended, never leaving cooking unattended, or never using damaged electrical equipment or appliances.

DESPITE Tania Maxwell falling short in her efforts to be re-elected, it’s pleasing to see an MP so closely associated with the local region play an important role in creating vital legislative change going forward.

The expansion of Victoria’s presumptive rights scheme for firefighters to include female-specific cancers has been at least four years in the making, and will be a major boost to the security and welfare of thousands of female volunteer and paid firefighters in the coming years.

Her efforts in acting as a conduit between firefighters and the State Government played a vital role in breaking down a barrier which has long-existed for so many, at a time when the number of female volunteers is increasing exponentially.

It’s a fantastic legacy to leave, and one which will benefit so many locally and across the state.

Let’s hope it continues to inspire our elected representatives to fight the good fight wherever they can.

Another MP’s Voice view worth noting I READ John Moore’s letter in the Wangaratta Chronicle (June 2) with interest so I thought it was worth noting the comments from Julian Lesser (former Opposition Spokesperson on Indigenous Affairs).

Mr Lesser said that the body (the Voice) would eliminate the economic and social differences between Indigenous and other Australians, rather than creating two classes of Australian, as Peter Dutton and other ‘No’ advocates claim.

“The Voice will work on making our remote communities safer,” he said.

“It will work to rid communities of addictions from nicotine and alcohol to ice.

“It will work to address the terrible rates of infant mortality and renal failure in many Indigenous communities.

“And it will work to create local jobs and industries so that we can break a culture of welfare dependency.

“Some say the Voice will give Indigenous Australians a place of privilege.

“Does anyone really believe that Indigenous Australians occupy a place of privilege?”

He said most referendum debates make the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” argument.

“Normally that is a valid and compelling argument. But the system is broken,” he said.

He mocked suggestions the proposed body would have a say on Australia’s future submarine fleet or purchases by the Department of Finance, pointing out it would not run programs or hand out grants.

“The parliament will still be supreme in matters of policy and law. The Voice will advise,” he said.

“Just like the security services, the chief medical officer, chief scientist, DFAT (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) and so many agencies advise”.

Should the State Government guarantee all regional councils financially benefit from the 2026 Commonwealth Games?

COSY ATTIRE: As wet winter conditions set in, Yarrunga Primary School students were invited to enjoy a pyjama day on Thursday. Students arrived at school wearing PJs, dressing gowns, Oodies and slippers, and were cosy and comfortable on a day which dawned wet and windy and saw some sun shine through in the afternoon. Among those enjoying the pyjama day, which also encouraged students to warm up with a cup of soup or noodles, were Matilda Brazendale (6), Xander Hickson-Sutcliffe (6), Roseanne Wilson (5) and Damien Thorpe (6).

Painful, costly potholes on Hume Freeway I AM writing this letter after another drive on the Hume Freeway has completely shocked me in the condition on the road at the moment.

The pot holes are just disgraceful, and if they’ve tried to repair them, they’ve only made them worse.

I have personally had to replace a brand new rim, which was completely cracked through the centre, and tyre (with repair costs exceeding $500) after unavoidably hitting a deep pothole.

I was laughed at by a worker at VicRoads when I asked her for a form to complain about the roads, and apply for compensation for the repair costs.

In the last few months I have also seen others stopped on the side of the highway just after these bad potholes, who must have also had damage done to their vehicle.

I know I’m not the only local who has

had the same issues and concerns about the very dangerous, poorly maintained roads we are made to deal with.

We are all made to pay our registration up-to-date, and this is supposed to cover the cost of our contribution to the local road maintenance and repairs to keep them at a safe standard for all road users.

The Hume Freeway is the main truck route for the eastern side of Australia and sees a massive amount of traffic.

I really wish the government would put the time and money into giving us all a safer freeway - we shouldn’t have to lose lives or have our personal property damaged, and have to pay for repairs that weren’t needed, until damaged from the road.

Don’t we have the right to a correctly maintained highway to a standard that won’t damage our vehicle?

These potholes are that bad you can’t see them until you’re actually right on top of them.

It’s not good enough.

Concerted effort needed to address pedestrian safety PEDESTRIANS are being urged to ‘stop, look and live,’ as part of a new Crime Stoppers campaign aimed at reducing pedestrian casualties when crossing the road in built up areas.

Specifically targeting roadways with a speed limit of 60kph, the new partnership aims to educate vulnerable pedestrians on how they can stay safe using Victorian roads.

Crime Stoppers Victoria chief executive Stella Smith said the campaign would use a variety of techniques to help local residents identify road risks.

According to Victoria Police and Transport Accident Commission data, some 30 per cent of pedestrian deaths occur in regional and rural Victoria.

“Every Victorian deserves to get home safely and the easiest way to achieve this is to identify risks and follow the road rules,” Ms Smith said.

“No matter whether you are a pedestrian, driver or cyclist on the road, we challenge everyone to stop and think, is this safe?

“We all play a role in keeping our roads safe and Crime Stoppers Victoria is offering vulnerable pedestrians the tools they need to use our roads safely.

“We have seen 175 pedestrians killed on our roads over the last five years, and a significant number of those have been in 60kph zones.

WALK WITH CARE: Senior Sergeant Colin Provan last year led efforts to improve pedestrian awareness in the rural city.

PHOTO: Kurt Hickling “We hope with more education and awareness we can reduce the number of injuries and most importantly, deaths on our roads.”

The most vulnerable pedestrians are primary school children aged between four and 12, intoxicated people aged 30-39, and the elderly aged over 70.

Some 36 pedestrians have been killed on Victorian roads in the past 12 months.

Victoria Police road policing command acting assistant Commissioner Martin O’Brien said police were focused on protecting the most vulnerable road users.

“Too many vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, are being killed or seriously injured and it’s all too preventable,” he said.

“We are grateful to have Crime Stoppers Victoria launching this

campaign, along with the many councils, schools and businesses that will support this initiative to improve road safety.

“Everyone has a role to play in keeping our roads safe, and we urge everyone to think not only about their own safety but how their behaviour can impact the safety of others.”

Wangaratta Primary School, in conjunction with Galen Catholic College, took the opportunity to show off their robot coding skills.

The new subject has been a hit this year with primary students, run with ongoing support from Galen College and the Digital Technology Advisory Committee.

THE year 3/4 students have been busy investigating arcade games and designing and creating their own.

Working in small groups has allowed each of the students to play a vital role in the development of their game.

Part of the task was to recycle and reuse materials, especially cardboard and readily available resources to make their creation.

The focus was to employ an engineering design process, where they planned, created, tested and made improvements where necessary.

All students were certainly engaged with the task, some not even realising how much reading and maths they were using throughout the production.

An open morning is being organised for families and friends to come along and play some of the games.

PLAY TIME: Oxley students Jobe Fenn, Tyrone Lowen, Eloise Booth, Stella Ryan and Blair McDonald were among those attending a performance of The Twits in Wangaratta.

Victorian Farmers Federation blasts government’s new transmission plan A NEW statewide plan for transmission infrastructure development has been slammed by the Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF), which says the initiative ignores the rights of farmers and regional communities.

New legislation is set to be introduced to Victorian parliament early next year, outlining the government’s “once-in-a-generation’ energy transition utilising Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) throughout the state to replace traditional coalfired power stations.

VFF president Emma Ger-

mano said the framework had failed to consider its impacts on farm business.

“For the last four years, the VFF has consistently called for a coordinated approach to transmission infrastructure planning – the government has heeded our call and taken some action in formulating the Victorian Transmission Investment Framework,” she said.

“Disappointingly, however, the framework continues to neglect farmer concerns – it does not speak about agricultural land use and the impact on food and fibre

production.

“It’s farmers that are slated to host the infrastructure needed for renewable transmission – how could the framework possible ignore farmers and the food we produce?

“There are gaping policy black holes around fair protection for the rights of landowners and these must be addressed and incorporated into the framework – we cannot plan and cost transmission projects if we do not know what the actual level of compensation to landowners will be.”

MEN'S HEALTH WEEK

STAYING ACTIVE: There’s more to do at Jubilee Golf Club than just play golf. There’s plenty of volunteer work to keep the place in top condition with volunteers including (from left) Nathan Grant, Matt Walker, Russell Stone, Stephen Fisher, Geoff Ryan and Lawrie Godfrey regular participants.

Round or two goes a fair way for mental health

IF you ever wondered why so many men, and a growing number of women become hooked on golf perhaps it’s because you haven’t tried it yourself at the Jubilee Golf Club.

The merits of physical exercise and social interaction for good mental health are well documented and golf provides all that and more for people of all ages.

Even if you are a pro golfer, a round of golf involves a good long walk and plenty of fresh air, all the better enjoyed in a group according to JGC secretary Di Murphy.

“We have something for men and boys virtually of all ages,” Di said.

“We have the North East Veterans golf where men over 50 travel around to other clubs to to compete once month and they all get together and get to know each other.

“We also have a group of retired gentle-

men who drop in every Thursday to volunteer around the course, raking bunkers, filling up sand buckets, mowing fairways which they all enjoy.

“We had one older member who was 90 involved and he said he would have died years ago if it wasn’t for that.

“And if course, there are all the regular competitions during the week and on weekends.”

Di said the groups look out for each other and if anyone is ill or doesn’t turn up they will make a call to see they are alright.

The club plans to further promote mental health by installing a blue seat on the 4th tee which will have the Beyond Blue logo and contact details to encourage players to reach out if they are not feeling okay.

To learn more about the club call the pro shop on 5725 3258.

If you’ve been putting off that visit to your GP or medical imaging scan, don’t wait until it’s too late.

Prioritise your health today!

With FIVE radiology practices in Albury, Lavington, Wodonga, Yarrawonga and Wangaratta, the friendly team at The X-Ray Group are experts when it comes to detecting and diagnosing health issues.

MRI, Nuclear Medicine and Bone Mineral Density

DON’T DELAY, SEE YOUR GP TODAY: The X-Ray Group encourages men who have been putting off that visit to their GP or medical imaging scan, not to wait until it’s too late.

scans are also available at The Gardens in Albury.

Each of these modalities provide vital imaging for medical investigations such as prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, lung screening, pain management, neurological brain issues and more.

Ultrasound and MRI are two non-invasive and highly accurate tools used to detect any abnormalities.

Similarly, cardiac disease is the leading cause of death in Australia and affects

more men than women.

MEN'S HEALTH WEEK

12th-18th JUNE

Supporting physical, emotional health INTERNATIONAL Men’s Health Week is celebrated every year.

It is an opportunity to highlight the importance of men’s health, and to promote and support the health and wellbeing of men and boys in our local communities.

Gateway Health has many programs available to support not only men’s physical health, but also their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

One of these programs is the Men’s Cooking Program.

“The men’s cooking group has been running since 2018, building the capacity of older men to develop and improve food management skills – including meal planning and budgeting, understanding and following recipes and learning new cooking methods,” Chadia Bastin, Clinical Lead Dietetics, Gateway Health. said.

“Dietitians and allied health assistants work with clients to develop their individual foodmanagement skills to meet their specific needs.

“It’s accessed by men who would like to improve their cooking skills and knowledge, particularly for those who may not have cooked much in the past.

“However, the program does more than simply teach cooking skills.

“Food is a form of social glue, that is able to connect people of

BODY AND MIND: Gateway Health has many programs available to support men’s physical and mental health including the Men’s Cooking Program which was a hit for Alan McHaffie and Barry Small (pictured).

all ages and all walks of life.

“Research shows that social connectedness can lead to longer life, better health, and improved well-being greatly improving our capacity to live well”.

This year, the program has taken on a new spin of health incorporating ‘intergenerational practice’ to build coaching skills in young hospitality students

and cooking skills in older men through a partnership with GOTAFE. This program has evolved into the “Young & Old Learning Kitchen Skills (YOLKS): An intergenerational cooking program.”

Facilitated by hospitality trainer Glenn Kealy and Dietitians Anita Schirmer and

Chadia Bastin, participants have been meeting weekly since April to learn with and from each other about how to cook flavourful and nutritious dishes.

“It was great to see first-hand the benefits of intergenerational programs in action and the positive social impact they can have on our community,” Glenn Kealy, Trainer and Assessor

Commercial Cookery said.

“The use of intergenerational practice in our learning created a more engaging and educational space and built confidence in participants.”

Caitlin Hawker Bailey, a bright young GOTAFE student who took part in the YOLKS program said, “A highlight has been interacting with people outside of my regular age group.

“It’s been fantastic teaching someone that is willing to work, to listen and participate and I feel good knowing I have taught them something that I know they will take home and use.”

And Mick Villella an older participant in the YOLKS Program, agreed.

“It was good to work with younger people and learn more about our generational differences,” he said.

“I learnt about their ideas and shared ours and we found the best ways to work well together.”

For more information or to enquire about a future program, please contact Gateway Health by email: info@gatewayhealth. org.au, or phone 03 5723 2097, or visit the website: www. gatewayhealth.org.au.

Eligibility criteria and fees apply to some Gateway Health services.

yourstars ARIES

(March 21 to April 19) You Ewes and Rams will find your ideas cheered by a mostly receptive flock. Those few dissenters could well be turned around by your charm and powers of persuasion.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s time

for the bold and beautiful Bovine to shake off the dust of the past and shape up new ideas for the future. This could surprise some folks, but they’ll soon adjust.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Those

nagging new doubts about an upcoming decision should alert you to step back (at least temporarily) so you can reassess its potential impact from a new perspective.

CANCER

(June 21 to July 22) That unpleasant situation you hoped would go away by itself needs immediate attention before it affects an upcoming decision. Expect your supporters to rally around your cause.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You’re moving up

and away from that recent setback. But remain cautious about finances. An exercise in thrift today helps cushion a possible end-of-themonth money squeeze.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You’re still dealing with overtones of pessimism that cause you to doubt your ability to make some needed changes. But the negative pressures will ease up by week’s end.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 22) There could be some fallout from the way you handled a recent family problem. But those who know that you were in the right won’t hesitate to step in on your behalf.

SCORPIO

(October 23 to November 21) Financial strains ease by week’s end.

Meanwhile, focus on cultivating that new relationship if you hope to have it blossom into something more meaningful.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to

December 21) Health matters once again dominate the week. Be careful not to ignore recurrences of an old problem. An almostforgotten commitment resurfaces.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19) The emergence of an unusual selfish streak could dismay those close to you.

Defy it -- don’t justify it -- so you can become your gracious self again.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18) Reassess your decision to stay with the status quo. It might seem like the sensible thing to do right now, but changes around you could make that choice a risky one.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Move decisively, but cautiously, when dealing with a delicate personal matter. The fewer mistakes you make now, the less likely it is that the problem will recur later on.

KING VALLEY NEWS

Covering Moyhu, Edi, Myrrhee, Whitfield, Cheshunt and Whitlands areas

Moyhu walking track is a few steps closer

BY ANITA McPHERSON

THE next meeting of the King Valley Residents Association (KVRA) will be held tonight at the Whitfield Recreation Reserve from 6pm to 7.30pm.

It will take place in the AC Swinburne Pavilion and all interested are welcome to attend.

Moyhu country market on Saturday THE next Moyhu country market will be held on Saturday at the Moyhu Lions Park from 8am until 12pm.

There will be fresh local produce and preserves plus a range of other stalls, as well as a hot breakfast available courtesy of the Moyhu Lions, plus piping hot coffee.

amcpherson@ nemedia.com.au

THE community is invited to contribute to the development of Moyhu’s new walking track, leading from the township to the King River, with a community planting morning being held this Sunday.

It follows considerable work undertaken recently by local residents and members of the Greta Valley Landcare Group, supported by the Rural City of Wangaratta, which has contributed people-power and funding towards the project.

In a collaborative effort involving two working bees, community members have removed woody weeds from the roadside, Boggy Creek and the King River, assisted by spray contractors which were engaged through funding from a council grant.

The idea of establishing a safe, off-road walking track providing public access to the river has long been on the community’s wish list, with local resident and Landcare vice president Rob Edgar a driving force behind making it happen.

King Valley residents meeting

Food hub in Cheshunt

ALL CLEANED UP: With the site now free of weeds, the designated walking trail from the township to the river in Moyhu can be planted with native species, which will begin on Sunday.

The Greta Valley Landcare Group, who celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2022, embraced the idea when it was raised by Mr Edgar last year, believing it would leave a legacy for the local community.

During the recent working bees, the team focussed on removing weed species including Desert Ash, White Cedar, Privet and Willow, making the area easier to maintain for locals, and showcasing the distinctive poplar avenue which lines the track.

WANGARATTA Prostate Cancer Support Group will hold its next meeting today from 7pm to 8pm at the North Eastern Hotel (Northo) in Spearing Street.

Members and prospective members are welcome to come along earlier at 6pm for dinner prior to the meeting.

BRAVING THE RAIN

Magpies rise from jaws of defeat Sport

CORONATION Kindergarten children (from left) Sonny Tiso (5), Harriet Bell (4), Arthur McLeod (4) and Zara Looby (4) were forced to rug up to brave wet conditions yesterday afternoon, as heavy rain set in throughout the Rural City of Wangaratta. Up to 20mm of rain is forecast to fall on Wangaratta today, while up to 40mm could buffet the region tomorrow as winter conditions settle in.

Pokies spend up LOCAL gaming venues can expect a visit from the state’s gambling regulator in the coming weeks, with Wangaratta having already shattered its record annual pokies expenditure in the first 10 months of the year.

The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) recently confirmed inspectors would be touring the Wangaratta and Benalla shires to ensure gaming venues were following rules and maintaining integrity, fairness and safety with

Gaming inspectors to visit region amid record gambling expenditure

BY RYAN MALCOLM rmalcolm@ nemedia.com.au

their electronic gaming machines (EGMs).

The news comes after Wangaratta exceeded its record expenditure on EGMs for a single financial year in April, with two months of data still to be officially recorded.

Local residents have

so far recorded a player loss of $9.269m, passing the rural city’s previous record of $8.873m (2018/19), according to VGCCC data.

The figure is around $2.3m more than losses to the same time last year.

Having never previously pooled seven figures in expenditure in a single month, the rural city’s four venues and 154 EGMs raked in more than $1m in July, August and October last year, and fell just shy of

the seven–figure mark in September, November and December.

Expenditure has markedly reduced in the 2023 calendar year, with player losses hovering around the $800,000 mark each month on average.

Benalla’s six venues and 240 EGMs have been similarly busy, pooling $12.3m in expenditure to April, more than $250,000 more than the 2021/22 financial year.

VGCCC data for Benalla also includes Strathbogie and Moira shires.

VGCCC gambling director Glorija Kuzman said the VGCCC targeted venues based on a number of risk factors, including high growth in player loss and a history of not following the rules.

“Being led by data and intelligence, we’re sending our inspectors to places and venues where the risk to the community is highest,” she said.

“Places we’ve seen a significant jump in gambling spend over the past few years, where there is a high concentration of poker machines, or where we know there have been issues in the past.

“These venues not only have legal obligations to comply with, they also have a social licence with their local community, which includes making sure gambling is safe and fair.”

Teens look to the future with uni

WANGARATTA High School year 12 graduates Kayla Fisher and Amy Henderson were among hundreds of local students, and tens of thousands around the state, who received their first round university offers yesterday.

The pair are both interested in humanitarian work and development, and were offered their first choice course at their chosen universities.

Kayla, 17, has been offered a

double degree in Arts and Public Policy with a major in third-world development at the Australian National University in Canberra.

“I was happy with my ATAR score even if I thought I could do better but it’s been a tough year,” Kayla said.

“It was difficult not having feedback from classmates because I didn’t know if I was doing okay or needed to improve.

“But, I got there in the end and am

looking forward to the next step.”

Amy, 18, will be doing occupational therapy at Deakin but hopes to branch into humanitarian work in third world countries.

“I had hoped for a higher ATAR but I didn’t need one, I’m pretty happy with how I went,” Amy said.

“Last year I really missed out on having the balance of sport and social aspects of school which really help me get through the study aspect.

offers

“The offer I received was my first choice so I’m really happy with that.

“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.”

Musicians invited to orchestra meeting MUSICIANS interested in becoming part of a new regional orchestra being formed in Wangaratta will be meeting in the King George V Gardens on Sunday at 2.30pm.

A newly formed committee, involving local violinist Sally Ross, will be in attendance and the group welcomes other potential members to come along, particularly seeking violin and flute players, a percussionist and a conductor.

For more information visit the Wangaratta Arts Council on Facebook or come along to the meeting in the park on Sunday.

Junior Dragons represent league at Canberra WHILE the majority of Wangaratta Dragons Hockey Club enjoyed the King’s Birthday Weekend bye, two junior players made the trip up to Canberra to represent Hockey Albury Wodonga in the Junior Representative Tournament.

Under 15 players Ellie Samson and Adara Evans were both picked to represent the league, with Samson in division one and Evans in the division two team, with six matches played by each squad.

The division one side came home with two wins and a draw in the finals resulting in a fifth place finish - third, fourth and fifth were all equal in point by the end of the tournament.

Samson scored a goal in the last game before finals.

The team really played well together as a team, which really showed in the results - the music blaring from the change

room dance party showed how much fun they had.

The division two team celebrated a hard fought win in their final game to finish on a high.

Team manager Kylie Samson commended the dedication of both Dragons players in making it to representative level.

“The girls have trained hard for this, travelling to Albury for training every Monday night,” she said.

“Their commitment to their sport is admirable, they are both valuable members of the team.

“The standard of the tournament was really high with the ACT state team players playing for the Canberra teams - the teams both showed a lot of growth and improvement of skill levels.”

The Wangaratta Dragons will be back on the field this weekend as round 10 of the Hockey Albury Wodonga season begins.

SUCCESS: Wangaratta Pickleball Club president Bryan Wilson (right) in action for Victoria at the Battle of the Border tournament in Benalla.

Second edition of pickelball border battle a success

THE second edition of the Battle of the Border pickleball tournament has been hailed a success.

After making its debut in Wangaratta last year, the King’s Birthday weekend tournament was played in Benalla with NSW taking the win 110-74 over Victoria for the second successive year.

Over 75 players took part in the event that was organised by the Wangaratta Pickleball Club at the Benalla Indoor Recreation Stadium.

Wangaratta Pickleball Club president Bryan Wilson was stoked with the day.

“It was a huge success, the biggest one yet,” Wilson said.

“We had no issues at all across the weekend thanks to our club mem-

bers who were on deck running the canteen, fixing the tape on the courts or sitting doing scoreboards.

“None of it would be possible without the help of those people.”

Wilson wasn’t originally in the Victorian set up but received a late call-up after another member pulled out of the tournament.

“The end result was a lot closer than last year but we were still a long way off them,” Wilson said.

“The open division played better than theirs but then our over 50s

were beaten by a fair bit.

“I was a late call in and ended up playing in all four games but unfortunately lost them all but they were all within two points.

“One of the games was decided in a sudden death point so that was exciting.”

Pickleball is massive in the United States and Wilson is hopeful a similar progression can be made in Australia.

“I was talking to the Pickleball Victoria president and he said that this time last year they had 200 members and then this year that’s risen to 800,” he said.

“Hopefully tournaments like these will help grow the game, we had the highest level players from

both states playing against each other.

“Hopefully next year we’ll be able to run the tournament on the new courts in Wangaratta.”

Dinners were had at the Benalla Bowls Club which was where the highlight of the weekend came for Wilson.

“The biggest hit for the weekend was Tracy Loyst’s homemade soup,” he said.

“We had dinner at the Benalla Bowls Club both nights with all of the players amd everyone loved the soup.

“We thank our sponsors for the weekend, particularly Redbank, as well as all of the members of the club for helping out.”

THE Wangaratta Golf Club has suffered another flooding setback.

Throughout last spring the local golf club was regularly closed due to flooding and the latest downpour originally forced the course to close the back nine for the weekend.

However, Monday’s King’s Birthday Medley still went ahead with the club playing all holes bar the 11th and 12th.

Chris Martens took the competition out with 38 points off a 2.7 handicap.

Wangaratta Golf Club president Greg Sullivan was still in good spirits despite the flooding.

“At this stage only hole 12 is still flooded,” Sullivan said.

“On the 12th you tee off into a dip then come up the hill and back down another dip so the water just sits in the dips.

“We still played comps on the weekend and had a really good King’s Birthday competition.”

Sullivan said it’s a waiting game as to when the course will be back fully operational.

“I noticed between Friday night and Saturday that the water had dropped around 30cm so we’ll just have to wait and see how long it takes,” he said.

“After all of the floods last year we’re sort of used to it now and it’s just something we have to live with.

“In a perfect world we’d love to have a levee bank so the water couldn’t come in but that’s obviously not the way it is.”

Aside from the flooding, the Wangaratta Golf Club is in great condition with the driving range a massive hit, while members numbers are strong.

“All in all we’re happy with how everything else is tracking,” Sullivan said.

“We had strong fields for competitions throughout the spring and summer and member numbers are in good shape.

“The driving range has been great for the club, our Friday night happy hours are always good fun with people coming for a hit and a drink while watching the footy.”

The next mission for the local club will be to install higher netting along the sides of the driving range.

said the idea was exceptional.

“From the league’s perspective, I don’t see why this is not a great idea,” he said.

“This is going to be a great

experience for Auskickers who are going to be involved in the junior league next year.

“Parents involved in Auskick get to experience the culture of junior league clubs

and feel welcomed for next year.

The Auskickers will take to the field at the conclusion of the under 12 match between Tigers and Kangaroos at Barr Reserve this Saturday.

NETBALL REVIEWS

Rovers break winning drought WANGARATTA Rovers A grade netballers are on the board.

The Hawks grabbed their first win for the 2023 season with a seven goal victory over North Albury at Bunton Park.

Rovers increased their lead at every break to run away strong 48-41 winners with Kelsie Wilson leading her team to victory in her return.

Wangaratta Rovers coach Gracie Reid was ecstatic with the win.

“We’re very happy with the win,” Reid said.

“We’ve been working so hard so to put a win on the board is just awesome.

“It’s nice to be rewarded before the second half of the season begins.

“I think it just shows that when we all put our minds to something we can achieve it so that’s great for a young group.”

Toni Wilson Medalist Emily Browne was sidelined for the clash only helping the Hawks in their bid for a first victory.

Rovers’ dominance was highlighted by leading at every break and Reid saw the performance in that manner.

“I think it was a four quarter effort,” she said.

“Everyone just worked so hard for the whole game so it was a real team

effort.

“We were all fired up to do well before the game and when we saw Emily Browne on the sideline we were all pretty happy because she’s such a big asset to them.”

Sami Kreltszheim was influential in the victory netting 27 goals, while sister Rebecca shot 21.

“Both our shooters were really good I thought,” Reid said.

“Kelsie was great in GK as well, when she comes back home she fits back in really well because she grew up at the club.”

Wangaratta Rovers now have the first weekend of the spilt round off but will take on Wangaratta Magpies in Sunday week’s derby.

“The first half of the year has been really tough losing by 30 goals a lot of the time,” Reid said.

“The win definitely helps show that we can do it though and now we’re looking forward to playing the Magpies.

“We usually show up and play well against them so hopefully we can give them a solid game.”

Whitehead brings up 50 games

HAWK veteran Jess Whitehead played her 50th game for Wangaratta Rovers’ open women’s football side on Sunday at the WJ Findlay Oval.

Whitehead, who served as trainer for the under 14s prior to her milestone match, is the embodiment of the phrase ‘heart and soul of the team’. She brought up game number 50 with the Rovers when she ran out with her teammates to take on the ladder-leading Lavington Panthers.

Countless tackles were laid throughout the course of the match, the pressure from both sides was high, and there were no easy possessions anywhere on the ground.

The Hawks’ ruck duo of Amy Collins and Helen Collins, combined with some pinch-hitting from Sophie Boyle, were outstanding and their efforts were well supported by a midfield group which put together four quarters of the kind

of football that can take a team a long way in the competition.

Deb Platfuss made her long-awaited return to the field, and celebrated her comeback with a goal in the third quarter.

The great wall of Frankie Butler was impassable across the half back line, while up forward Kelsie Powles displayed all the class for which she has become known since moving to Rovers at the start of the season.

The difference in the game was the ability of the Panthers to capitalise on their forward 50 entries, while Rovers found it difficult to get the ball deep into their 50, in order to put pressure on the Lavington defence.

At the end of the game, the scoreboard belied the performance of the Hawks, who will take plenty of positives from the game.

Final score: Wangaratta Rovers 1.0 (6) lost to Lavington Panthers 10.11 (71).

Best: Wangaratta Rovers - Jacinta Findlay, Asha Foubister, Kelsie Powles, Frankie Butler, Kate Burns, Celia Piesse; Lavington Alice Voss, Gabrielle Goldsworthy, Samantha Creasy.

The under 17 clash was always going to be a tough one for the Hawks, with the Panthers having their full team including representative players available.

Lavington worked well straight from the centre bounce, scoring four quick goals, but with the ball spending most of the quarter in the Rovers’ backline, Hawk backs Mackenzie Clark, Alana McKenna, Lucy Mansfield and Lucy Kiely were as solid as they have been for the season.

The second quarter was a little more even around the ground, but Lavington kept coming, and despite the Hawks’ best efforts, the Panthers were able to score another three goals for the term.

After half-time, the Rovers girls came out more en-

thusiastic and determined, with Ammy Thompson, Gemma Couch-Trinder, Trin Preer and Mia Johnston cutting Lavington’s run out of the centre.

Clare Collins, Ali Jones and Lily Gibb made an impact, and Rovers kept Lavington to one goal and a couple of points while having some of their own opportunities in the forward 50.

The last quarter was another good one for Rovers, as they won the ball around the ground with some great transitions and a couple of shots on goal.

The backline was still solid, the centre and rucks were doing the job, and the forwards came into the game, with the opposition commenting on the improvement shown by the Hawks.

Final score: Wangaratta Rovers 0.1 (1) lost to Lavington 8.10 (58).

Best: Wangaratta Rovers - Amelie Thompson, Lily Gibb, Trinny Preer, Lucy

Kiely, Mia Johnston, Gemma Couch Trinder; Lavington - Eliza Hart, Lacey Harrison, Portia McDonnell, Jessica Morgan, Majella Day, Telia McGrath.

The under 14 Rovers met ladder-leaders Lavington in a tough contest. Numbers were strong, with 20 players pulling on the brown and gold, and captain for the day was Sadie Skewes, who played courageously through the backline and led the girls well.

The first quarter was filled with lots of great contests, with Rovers players competing well to try and win ground balls and put the Panthers under pressure when moving the ball forward.

Ruck Zierra Melbourne continued her dominant season, winning taps to the advantage of the mids around the ground.

The second quarter was the Hawks’ best, as they held the opposition to a single goal, and there was lots of great leading and mark-

ing to get the ball repeatedly out of their defensive end.

The second half was fiercely contested, with lots of tackling, running and chasing, and some strong marks from defensive players Amy Lowe, Trinity Hassgall and Harper McGrath.

Tackle of the day came from another great chasedown and tackle from Lily Currie Fraser, who was duly rewarded with a free kick for her efforts.

The hard-working midfield managed to propel the ball forward several times, including a couple of forward 50 entries in the third and fourth quarters.

Final score: Wangaratta Rovers 0.0 (0) lost to Lavington Panthers 18.10 (118).

Best: Wangaratta Rovers - Lily Currie Fraser, Trinity Hassgall, Molly Thomas, Amy Lowe, Sadie Skewes, Zierra Melbourne; Lavington Panthers - Ellie Wright, Clare Hyland, Matilda North, Charlie Gibson, Eve Webb-Hunt, Sybil Triggs.

WANGARATTA’S future football stars will get a taste of what a junior league game day is like this Saturday, when the local Auskickers play a curtain-raiser match between the under 12 and under 14 matches between Tigers and Kangaroos at the Barr Reserve.

The match, a collaboration between Wangaratta Auskick Centre, Tigers and Kangaroos JFC, and AFL

BY NATHAN DE VRIES ndevries@ nemedia.com.au

NEB, aims to prime next year’s under 12 players and parents with what it’s like to be part of the junior league.

Wangaratta Auskick Centre president Ben Watts said it was a brilliant chance for the up-and-coming football-

ers to get a sneak peek at what awaits them in their football futures.

“The under 10s that are going to go on to junior league next year, we want them to experience what a junior league day looks like,” he said.

“They’ve got canteens and games one after another, whereas Auskick’s structured at the one time and we don’t have a proper canteen set up.

“It’s just a different feel for them, but also good for some of the junior league kids to sit around and watch some of these kids play because a year or so ago these kids were playing Auskick on a Sunday as well.

“I know it’s probably been done in other areas but to the best of my knowledge and chatting to other people, I don’t think it’s been done before in conjunction with

the Wangaratta and District Junior Football League.”

Tigers JFC secretary Kathy Dodgshun said playing between junior league games would help with clarifying the pathways available to players leaving Auskick.

“They are the feeders into the Wangaratta teams, there’ll be 20-odd kids who are going to play on Saturday and some might come up to us and some might go off to

Kangaroos,” she said.

“We know they get plenty of opportunities to do it at Ovens and Murray and Ovens and King, and go down to the AFL, but it will be good to have a bit of a look at what junior league’s going to be like for them.

“It’s not only for the players, it’s also for the parents to see what the culture of junior league clubs are.”

Bringing words to life A SHARED creative passion has seen Stanley couple Janet Tweedie and Roger Timewell immerse themselves in the arts in their much-loved local communities since moving from Canberra six years ago.

With a love of the theatre, Janet joined Beechworth Theatre Company where she has taken on the role as president while the pair ignited the successful Winterwords Festival three years ago.

Janet’s love of acting began as a youngster and she then followed her creative heart in later years.

“I was one of those kids that did the shows in front of families with the kid next door,” she said.

Janet dabbled in piano and ballet when young, played the French horn a little in high school and loved singing.

While training to be a teacher in her early 20s the aspiring performer discovered a private acting school in a student newspaper advertisement with a free introduction.

“It was a group-based ensemble and I fell in love with acting and studied with the school for the next three years learning every aspect of the craft as well as directing,” she said.

Adding to her creative bow, Janet undertook classical singing lessons for

several years too.

With a discovery of musical theatre, Janet’s acting wings flew when she scored a chorus role in the classical musical ‘My Fair Lady’ at Perth’s Garrick Theatre followed by an Oklahoma production with Western Australia’s opera company’s musical theatre group.

“I completely then fell in love with the combination of acting and singing,” she said.

“I also worked on the Swan River wine cruises as an entertainer singing while in and out of teachers college.”

With a move to Canberra where she lived for 27 years, the performer’s acting pursuits stalled as she raised a family over that time.

“I tried to go back to singing lessons but when you’re bringing up three kids and studying, it wasn’t possible,” Janet said.

“I undertook a degree in psychology, followed by honours then a PhD in psychology.”

When seeing her children become involved in music as well as her daughter participating in musical theatre, Janet’s passion for acting and singing rekindled and she started auditioning.

◆ IMAGINATIVE COUPLE: Janet Tweedie and Roger Timewell had the idea to create a celebration of words that was more than a Writers Festival.

SNOW REPORT

Eye ulcers – ouch!

IS your animal winking at you, or are they trying to tell you that they have a sore eye?

Ocular pain appears in animals as holding the eye fully or partly closed, avoiding bright light, discharge from the eye and sometimes attempting to rub the eye either with their paws, on their legs or on other surfaces.

The most common cause of ocular pain is ulcers in the cornea and deeper layers of the eye.

Corneal ulcers can affect cats, dogs, horses and cattle.

The cornea is a specialised layer of skin which acts as a protective window for the eye.

A corneal ulcer occurs when there is damage to the layers of the cornea, often from a trauma.

Other reasons for ulcers include eyelid abnormalities, grass seeds, decreased tear production, problems with the eye blinking or infections.

These ulcers can range in severity from those just affecting the superficial layers, to ulcers which extend right through to the deepest layers of the cornea.

If left untreated corneal ulcers can potentially cause the eye to rupture leading to blindness and irreparable damage.

A veterinarian can diagnose superficial corneal ulcers by closely examining the eye and

with Lorna Undy from Wangaratta Veterinary Clinic with the use of a fluorescent green stain.

If an ulcer is present, it will soak up the stain and fluoresce under UV light.

Once a diagnosis of a corneal ulcer is made, the treatment will depend on the severity of the ulcer.

Superficial ulcers will usually heal by themselves, with a vet prescribing antibiotic ointment to prevent any further infection whilst healing takes place.

Regular re-visits to the clinic will be required to monitor the eye during this time.

Complicated or deep ulcers may require surgery to help the healing process, sometimes requiring referral to a specialist.

Corneal ulcers can deteriorate quickly, so it is very important that you have your vet examine any eye problems early with your pet.

Some medications can even make corneal ulcers worse, so it is not recommended to treat eye problems at home but rather consult with your local veterinarian as soon as you notice any squinting, discharge or pain.

This Day in History, 1975 MORE people than the Springhurst Primary School had seen for many a long year turned up on this day.

Former student, Cr Colin Diffey, assisted by Cr Bill Diffey, opened the festivities.

The honour of being the oldest pupil to return for the school centenary went to Lizzie Wighton, at 88 years old.

A Centennial Ball was held at night and celebrations continued the following day.

◆ OPENING BID: The Bird at Mt Hotham was packed on opening weekend for the auction of chairs from the mountain's first ever chairlift.

Snow season opens, with the promise of more snow THERE may not have been much snow around for the King’s Birthday long weekend, but the 2023 snow season still got off to a bang at Falls Creek, Mt Hotham and Dinner Plain.

Fireworks were just part of the range of activities, inside and out, to keep visitors and mountain residents entertained, with around 5cms of the white stuff from last week’s cold snap offering a glimpse of what we all hope is more to come.

In fact, the Bureau of Meteorology was forecasting potential snow falls today, with between 5-10mm on Sunday, and 1-5mm on Monday likely at both Falls Creek and Mt Hotham.

With good snowmaking opportunities over the coming week, it will not be long until lifts will be open for skiing and boarding.

For the latest snow reports for both mountain resorts go to www.skifalls.com.au and www. mthotham.com.au websites.

One of the highlights of the opening weekend at Mt Hotham was the charity auction of 27 chairs from Mt Hotham’s iconic first ever chairlift, The Playground Chair, which opened in 1969 and was the main access lift back ton the village until 1993 when the Village chair opened.

A large group of people gathered at The Bird for the auction

and raised $75,800 to support local charities through Hotham’s Epic Promise Foundation.

A further 30 chairs are available for an online auction via the Givergy platform on Sunday June 11, with bidding closing on June 18 at 6pm.

To bid on the remaining chairs visit: https://www.givergy. com.au/ HothamPlayground ChairliftAuction/ Mt Buffalo has seen some light dustings of snow, according to cross country ski school owner David Chitty.

He said while not enough for tobogganing, there is a good amount of snow for sightseeing for the next couple of weeks.

Government funding for hearing aids DO you wonder about why you might occasionally miss the message, especially in background noise?

What about the television volume?

What strategies might you use to help get the message better, whether in quiet or in noisy situations?

A hearing test can be of assistance in understanding these problems and your local Audiology clinic is a resource you can access.

If you are on a pension or hold an eligible DVA card, you can access hearing services, including a hearing test, at no cost.

This program is administered by the federally funded Hearing Services Program (HSP).

It provides subsidised high-quality hearing services and devices to eligible Australians with hearing loss through their voucher scheme.

The ongoing care through the HSP assists people to mange their hearing loss and improve the way they interact with their community.

Eligible adults who do not have a hearing loss can also benefit from an annual hearing check through the program.

Hearing services providers, such as Wangaratta Audiology, can help you find out whether you have a hearing issue and what management options are available.

A comprehensive hearing assessment means you can have a hearing device fitted properly.

If the use of a hearing device is recommended, hearing aids and other assistive listening devices fitted through the HSP include both fully subsidised hearing aids and partially subsidised aids.

Follow-up appointments and annual review ensure the continued optimal function of your hearing aids.

The HSP program also provides support to manage the costs of looking after your hearing devices through an annual maintenance agreement.

with Diana Bienvenu, Audiologist, Wangaratta Audiology HSP also funds Hearing Australia to provide hearing services for people under the age of 26 years, eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and people who need specialist services or live in a remote area.

For example, for HSP-eligible people who have a cochlear implant, maintenance for the implant can be organised.

Each client can choose their hearing services provider, provided that the next hearing provider is accredited with the Hearing Services Program.

If your circumstances change or you decide that you would prefer to see someone else you can contact a new provider and arrange a transfer.

Your information will be forwarded to the new provider.

Your maintenance agreement will also transfer with you, and you will then contact the new clinic about any question.

If you wish to check your eligibility of have questions about the services which you would like to receive, please contact your local hearing clinic, Wangaratta Audiology, on 03 5722 4433.

Our staff members are always happy to answer your questions and assist you in understanding the options available through the HSP Program.

Perfect time for home grown winter remedies TEAS, oils and salves are the best-known home remedies herbalist have in their tool kit to help manage viral infections, cuts, grazes and basic burns.

Many of these can be made from plants grown in the garden over winter.

With a little preparation and early season planting you could have your own DIY tool kit ready to use by spring.

1. Calendula officinalis: Pot marigold is a cheerful yellow flowering daisy like flower that makes a beautifully healing oil used in creams for rashes and cuts.

It is freely reseeding annual, best grown in full sun.

Collect the petals, cover in olive oil in a jar and leave at room temperature for 4-6 weeks.

Ensure the petals stay covered by the oil.

Strain and apply oil neat or mix into vitamin E based creams.

Alternatively dry the flowers well and use in a tea to gently detox and promote healthy skin.

2. Melissa Officinalis: Lemonbalm grows like a weed in the right conditions and will add a lovely bright green patch to your garden.

Typically this one flourishes Spring, but I have noticed mine currently in full form.

It smells divine.

With its incredibly uplifting in scent and taste, this herb makes the perfect cup of afternoon tea for fried and frazzled nervous systems.

Fresh leaves are best.

Add 5-6 crushed leaves to hot water.

3. Peppermint: Like Lemonbalm,

Peppermint thrives in sunny spots and will overtake your garden in early winter if in full sun.

It won’t like the frost.

However, with good compost or a liquid feed in a pot you will have a plentiful supply.

Use Peppermint in salads or teas, fresh or dried work well.

4. Mullein: The flowers of this plant make a beautiful oil, which can be used used for its antiviral properties in the ear.

It softens ear wax, stimulates microcirculation in the ear and eases pain.

As a tea Mullein leaves can be steeped in hot water and useful for viral coughs, sometimes combined with thyme.

Make the oil using the same instructions as the calendula oil.

The seeds germinate in winter and thrive in cold harsh winters.

The flowers wont be ready until Spring, but use the young fresh leaves as soon as they grow.

5. Thyme: Perfect in a pot, thyme grows best with tough love.

Simply water as needed, but do not overwater.

Thyme has incredible antiviral properties.

You can make a thyme throat syrup by filling a jar ¾ full of fresh thyme and covering completely with local honey.

Mix well and leave to steep for three weeks, ensuring thyme is covered.

Then remove the thyme springs and use the honey one tsp at a time for sore throats, or in your herbal teas.

Bringing words to life

■ From page 1 Joining the Queanbeyan Players (QP), she performed in many shows in ensemble and principal roles over five years, and in 2015 Janet was thrilled to direct QP’s production of ‘My Fair Lady’.

“Besides Roger and I falling in love with Beechworth, one of the reasons in choosing to move to the town when we decided to leave Canberra was Beechworth had a theatre company,” Janet said.

For her UK-born partner Roger whose work travels had covered Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, his approach to most things in life has been creative.

Roger has a degree in philosophy and worked in information technology (IT) for most of his career but has always had a passion for visual arts.

The pair revel in an exchange of ideas between them with a buzzing energy created from their different points of views and backgrounds.

“Great complementary ideas stem

from our conversations,” Roger said.

Among them had been the conceived idea of a celebration of words in every shape and form with Winterwords started three years ago to spice up cold, wintry nights in Beechworth.

Sitting in a pub in Bendigo, the imaginative couple had eyed posters advertising the Bendigo Writers Festival sparking an idea to create an event for a celebration of words being more than a Writers Festival.

“We wanted it to be inclusive, affordable, and more open, and to be created for the people by the people,” Janet said.

“We’re building it for the community and if the tourists want to join in, they are welcome.”

“Writers Festivals are great, but we wanted something different, to be more than authors and books, and to remain small and focus on as much local talent as possible.”

In fleshing out ideas the pair tossed around how words are

used in different ways.

“There’s all sorts of ways in which we use words such as in writing, music, art, poetry, playing games, drama, singing and much more.” Janet said.

“We engaged with local creatives to suggest our thoughts, who then came together with their own skills and amazing ideas for topics.

“From that point it grew to our first Winterwords in 2021.”

Janet said her contribution to Winterwords has been bringing everyone together with their creative energy as well as her organisational and marketing skills.

“It’s really hard work in the lead up to running 25 events, with most in two days, but it is so rewarding seeing people having a great time.”

In creating Winterwords, Janet and Roger feel they will leave a legacy of an inclusive event with everyone contributing as part of a team.

“If people take on our ideas and they are adopted elsewhere, that would be rewarding too,” Roger said.

“With my involvement in Beechworth Theatre Company, I would love to see a thriving theatre company financially secure and that keeps producing high quality performances a couple of times a year with a dedicated band of people willing to step up and organise to keep it growing.”

“You need to be the best community theatre company for a little town like Beechworth that you can be.”

“I’m big on cooperation, vibrancy and not competition, and if you walk away from something that you have helped to create, support or reinvigorate along with many other people, it’s rewarding to see those ventures continue.”

A non-profit organisation, Winterwords Autonomous Collective Inc is a registered association.

TECH & SCIENCE

with Chris Febvre NEM GRAPHIC ARTIST cfebvre@nemedia.com.au ◆ ASSASSIN: In simplest terms, a bacteriophage is an organism that hunts down and infects specific types of bacteria, and it is these properties make them a potential weapon against superbugs.

Bacteriophages - the super bug killer?

IMAGINE an organism that could hunt you down across a vast distance, attach itself to you via its long, spindly, barbed legs, and then inject it’s genetic material into you - effectively taking over your body and forcing you to incubate and birth millions more of these organisms which in turn burst out of your body and hunt down more of your kind.

Sounds like something out of Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’, right?

Well, I have some good news.

These organisms are very real, and you’re currently covered in them.

Billions of them, in fact.

Collectively known as bacteriophages, these microscopic organisms are, very fortunately, harmless to humans, but prove quite deadly to bacteria and may just hold the answer to the problem of superbugs - bacteria that have evolved and become immune to antibiotics.

Let’s back up a moment Prior to the mid-twentieth century, people would commonly die of all sorts of bacterial infection.

The smallest cut, if infected, could prove terminal for people, and infections such as pneumonia, gonorrhea or rheumatic fever would often result in the death of a patient.

In 1928, Professor of Bacteriology Alexander Fleming returned from a holiday and discovered something peculiar in a petri dish containing Staphylococcus - bacteria that cause boils, sore throats and abscesses.

It was dotted with colonies, save for one area where a blob of mold was growing.

The zone immediately around the mold - later identified as a rare strain of Penicillium notatum was clear, as if the mold had secreted something that inhibited bacterial growth.

Fleming found that his “mold juice” was capable of killing a wide range of harmful bacteria, such as streptococcus, meningococcus and the diphtheria bacillus.

About a decade later, pathologist Howard Florey and Ernst Chain at Oxford University began the work of turning penicillin from a laboratory curiosity to a life saving drug.

Wartime constraints made progress difficult for the researchers, but by the mid 1940s, commercial production and distribution was in full swing beginning the era of antibiotics, a miracle medicine that has saved countless lives.

In the words of Jeff Goldblum, ‘Life finds a way’.

The invention of antibiotics might have been a ‘happily ever after’ moment for humanity, but bacteria is an organism, just like every other form

of life on Earth and, just like every other form of life, it evolves and adapts in order to survive a changing environment.

As the use of antibiotics became more widespread, and it’s usage became more spurious as production costs decreased, more and more bacteria was exposed to antibiotics.

As a result, the strongest strains of a virus would live long enough to reproduce and eventually superbugs were born - monstrous bacteria that are immune to antibiotics.

It’s estimated that around 290 people in Australia die each year from resistant superbugs, and approximately 23,000 people died in America in 2017.

Alarmingly, it’s estimated that if current trends continue, superbugs could kill more people than cancer by 2050.

Enter the bacteriophage While the concept of injecting a genocidal, mass replicating virus into our bloodstreams might, at first glance, seem like an incredibly bad idea, bacteriophages possess a number of interesting properties that make them attractive as a treatment against bacterial infection.

Firstly, while antibiotics are a kind of carpetbomb solution to killing bacteria - killing off good

and bad bacteria in our bodies indiscriminately - bacteriophages are specialised killers, only targeting a specific bad bacteria.

They are so specialized, in fact, that they are unable to harm humans at all, our cells are simply too different.

Secondly, while bacteria have evolved and become immune to antibiotics, bacteriophages also evolve - effectively engaging in an arms race with bacteria that they are presently winning by a landslide.

Thirdly, even if bacteria did manage to evolve and become resistant to bacteriophages, current studies show that in order to build such resistance, bacteria must give up its immunity to antibiotics.

This would allow us to trap bacteria in a catch-22 situation - die by bacteriophage, or die by antibiotic.

It’s still early days, and while some experimental bacteriophage treatments have been conducted with very effective results, authoritative bodies - such as the Food and Drug Administration - have yet to approve the treatment, leaving pharmaceutical investors reluctant to provide necessary funds.

The future will tell if humanity teams up with bacteriophages in the next major against superbugs.
