GARDENING
AS autumn nears, the time for fresh, ripe chestnuts is almost upon us. In orchards across the North East, particularly around Stanley and in selected pockets of the alpine region, chestnut trees are laden with spikey green blooms as the nuts ripen. It’s a sight which excites Andrew Hall, who said leaving behind the bustling, high pressure world of merchant banking for the idyllic Stanley orchard he and wife Joy call home was one of his best ever decisions. “The job was killing me,” he said, relaxed and focused on one of the trees which will help his orchard yield between 70 to 90 tonnes this year. The property is continuing to evolve, with a large mechanical harvester, 100 tonne cool room, and the replanting of several acres of trees an investment the former banker expects to deliver a nice return. Andrew said the rich history of chestnuts was an aspect he found particularly appealing as a grower. “It’s a good product, it has an incredible history and has kept generations of Europeans alive,” he said. “It’s a very honest way of making a living…and the orchards are beautiful.”

Plentiful fruit Town:
Gill and Alan Baker Eldorado
CAPTION: Gill Baker in her garden with grandson Hartley Baker and some of the fruit produced by her fruit trees.
What’s in your garden: Our garden is getting on for 40 years old, before that was a bare paddock with two ancient yellow box trees, one of which is still there. Now it covers a couple of acres of mixed indigenous and deciduous trees, the gums we planted for quick shade, and the deciduous tree to give some sort of fire protection. There is a herb garden, lily bed, fernery plus some mixed beds, an extensive vegetable patch, and 18 different types of fruit trees. We try to use permaculture/organic principles where possible, and much of our produce is processed – frozen, bottled, dried and juiced, and passed around the family. The mixed vegetation
encourages a variety of birds and animals. What do you enjoy about gardening: We both enjoy being outdoors and getting stuck into garden jobs, and spend most mornings out there when the weather is good. Favorite plant/spot in your garden: No one real special spot, sitting on the sheltered verandas shaded by a vine is pleasantly cool in summer, in autumn the vine turns dark red and is very pretty, and in winter and spring, when the vine is dormant, the sun reaches in and makes it a nice warm spot. Water saving/conservation tip: In this weather watering is the main time consumer, we

they lose flavor and don’t pick all the leaves off as some are needed to sustain future growth. Herbs like rosemary, thyme, mint, sage, basil, lemon balm and chives, can be pruned back by half to control the size and spread and encourage fresh new growth. Make bunches from the prunings and hang them to dry, perfect for the winter hotpots. Herbs do well in pots and containers and benefit from a quarter-turn every few days to maintain their shape as they naturally grow towards the light and may grow lopsided. Herbs are versatile and can be planted in a designated herb garden, scattered throughout the ornamental garden, used as a companion planting in the veggie garden to deter pests and insects or grown in pots and containers. They are easy to grow and look and smell great in the garden. Happy gardening.

LIKE vegetables, many herbs grow best in the summer warmth. Some are fragrant and bring a waft of perfume to the garden. Fresh kitchen garden herbs can enhance cooking as they team well with many summer growing veggies. Herbs can be annuals or perennials and need basically the same care and maintenance as other plants. They need full sun, at least five hours each day, to bring out the true flavor. Most prefer good well-draining soil, with regular water and mulch, especially during hot dry weather. Herbs don’t need much fertiliser; too much leads to excessive foliage growth with little flavor. At this time of the year, when they are in full production mode, feed with a weak seaweed solution fortnightly. Herbs tend to produce more when they are picked and tip pruned often. This also helps to keep the plants bushy and compact; otherwise they may become too lanky or woody. The tip growth is also the sweetest flavor. Don’t allow them to flower or

We mulch where possible, however, this year with its extended periods of extreme heat has stressed many established trees, which we normally would not water much. Your tips to keep gardens in top shape: Don’t worry too much about the ‘top shape’ bit, in the long run a few weeds don’t matter. We do try to clear up flammable material before summer. On our fruit trees we hang bottles containing a homemade solution to combat fruit fly – Âź cup apple cider vinegar, ½ cup boiling water, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1-2 drops dishwashing liquid.

Cancer in your pets
Like many farming industries, Andrew concedes chestnuts face an economic challenge at the moment, and a creative approach is needed for growers to continue to thrive. “Prices haven’t been great, and water is an issue, although we are lucky to have a good bore and irrigation system,” he said. And the Halls not only enjoy growing their chestnuts – they enjoy consuming them as well. “Joy makes the most stunning chestnut soup,” Andrew said, “and we can also roast them, and make chestnut flour and pasta, and it makes unbelievable stuffing.” He said that in the future, he hopes to increase yield by up to 50 per cent. David and Helen McIntyre also grow chestnuts in Stanley, but they

concentrate on the organic market. They simply got started because they “liked the trees.” “They are big deciduous trees with good summer shade and good autumn color,” David said. As organic growers, they needed a crop that grows well with minimum intervention and suits the climate – which they found in the chestnut’s Mediterranean origins. “The trees will grow anyway without human intervention,” David said, keen to note how it was a staple of the Roman Army. “The nuts are high in phosphate and potassium, low GI and gluten free… they’re really healthy.” Chestnut recipes and information can be found on the Chestnuts Australia website on: www.chestnutsaustralia.com.au.

Depending on the tumor type and location, surgery, chemotherapy (administration of a drug to attack cancer) or radiation therapy options are available both locally in Wangaratta and in Melbourne. Some tumors are benign (harmless) and may just need to be monitored. The most common way to find tumors on your pet is to do a good pat down of their body (during your daily cuddles!) to feel for any new lumps or bumps. If you are concerned about any lumps or any health issue with your pet book in for a consultation with your vet. Dr Joycelyn Tran, Wangaratta Veterinary Clinic

MONITORING THE CROP: David McIntyre checks out his chestnut crop.
CANCER is the development of abnormal cells within the body. Just like with people, your pets can develop cancer at any time in their lives, although tumors usually present in older pets (over six years in dogs and over eight years in cats). All tissues within the body can develop tumors and the symptoms seen will also vary with the location, for example vomiting or diarrhoea with gut tumors, a large abdomen in liver and splenic tumors, decreased appetite in oral tumors, blood in urine with bladder or kidney tumors, lethargy and depression with any cancer. In order to find out the best treatment and care plan for your pet, vets will perform a range of tests to find out what the tumor is and what course of action to take. This may include taking radiographs of the chest or abdomen, performing blood tests or taking a sample of the mass with a needle and looking at the cells under the micrcoscope to see what sort of cells exist there. Just like with humans, there are many treatment options available for

CATCH OF THE WEEK
FISHING FOCUS
Bring on cooler, better bites I HAVE a sneaky suspicion that some magnificent fishing conditions are just around the corner as the average temperatures should soon start to cool down and the stable autumn weather should set in. Over the last couple of weeks there has been a slight slowdown in the number of reports of Murray cod catches coming in from the Ovens and King rivers. I fished the King River last Thursday evening where I managed to catch two undersized Murray cod on a green Koolabung Codzilla lure. Both fish were caught before sunset. Once the sun went down I tied on a surface lure but it was to no avail, and I never had a single touch. One area that has picked up a bit over the last few weeks is Lake Mulwala. I’ve had quite a few reports of Murray cod being caught in the lake, with some fish being up over 80cms in length. Spinnerbaits, hard body lures and surface poppers have all accounted for fish, with the surface poppers working the best after sunset and before sunrise. On Sunday I headed to Lake Buffalo with my kayak. The wind was blowing an absolute gale making kayak fishing almost impossible. I only fished for about half an hour

NOT QUITE A FEED: This sole redfin accounted for my short, windy outing at Lake Buffalo on Sunday, although I do reckon the reddies might just be on the chew up there at the moment.
and in that time I managed to catch just one small redfin on a 40mm Metalhead soft plastic. Based on that one fish I would imagine the lake to be fishing OK for redfin at the moment and I am looking forward to heading back up there asap in more favorable conditions. Now, my tip for this week is to make sure you keep an eye on the
condition of your car battery as I found it quite embarrassing walking along the Buffalo River Road in my thongs on Sunday waving down cars asking complete strangers if they had jumper leads. And to the two young blokes on P plates that got me started, if you happen to be reading this, then thank you very much - your generosity is greatly appreciated.

About Love by Portia-Ann Forrest THIS book, written by Albury author Portia-Ann Forrest and available at Edgars Newsagency in Wangaratta, describes the attempts of two women who are trying to live their lives to their fullest potential. The women – Vanessa and Sabina – strive to leave the wounds of the past behind and live their lives and live with renewed purpose and meaning.
Creepy castle A FEW years ago, the spouse and I were fortunate enough to travel to the UK. Our first port of call was my Dad’s homeland of Scotland, so we flew directly into Glasgow and headed off to our first night’s accommodation in a 13th century castle which had been converted into a B&B. I was very excited to be in Scotland – so much history. Old stone buildings, craggy mountains, serene lochs, babbling burns and lush green countryside. A land so rich with ancient stories of struggles and wars and romance and kinship. I was really looking forward to checking out the old castle too so, even though we were not expected until mid afternoon, we couldn’t help but swing by to announce our safe arrival and make sure our booking was all okay. We crossed the gravel path to the old stone building and knocked on the huge, heavy oak door with its wrought iron hinges and knobs. Eventually the old door creaked open a short way and the head of a young man popped forward. “Yes?” he asked peering at us creepily from behind his nerdy spectacle frames. He seemed uncomfortable and somewhat startled by our presence. I found that amusing, considering this was a B&B and surely customers must visit regularly. I assumed his bewilderment may have arisen from the fact that we were on his doorstep several hours earlier than expected. At least I hoped that was it. We explained we just wanted to say we’d arrived and we’d be back later in the day. “Wait there,” he instructed bluntly, and clunked the old door closed in our faces. We stood there bemused until eventually an older gentleman (his father) re-opened the door and greeted us in a more normal and friendly manner. He explained that his wife (the Lady Lydia) with whom I’d made the email arrangements, was ill today and was unable to welcome us. He assured us, however, that all was well with the room and he would look forward to seeing us upon our return from a leisurely drive around the countryside.
BY CATHERINE WARNOCK Hours later, after we’d settled into our characterfilled room and were just having a nice lie down, we realised all was not right in this strange castle. We heard a scream, footsteps and furniture scraping around below us in the living quarters of our host family. What was going on? Was someone going psycho? Was Little Mr Creepy killing someone? Had Lady Lydia flipped her lid? But when no further noise was heard we started to wonder if we’d imagined the whole thing. Later, however, as we made our way downstairs to walk to the local pub for dinner, we ran into the father in the foyer. He seemed anxious and quickly informed us that Lady Lydia had, indeed, had a little psycho attack and had been taken to hospital. After dark, we returned to the castle and began winding our way up the dingy spiral stone staircase to our room. Suddenly, Little Mr Creepy appeared, the light from his lantern making his permanently startled expression look creepier than ever. He peered at us as if we were some kind of weird mutated rats that had escaped from a laboratory experiment and should probably be sacrificed to science. I could almost see him poking me with glee and removing my skull to play with my brain. He had that kind of eccentric look about him. He muttered something indecipherable as he moved aside to let us past. “Goodnight,” we twittered uncomfortably, gingerly squeezing past him and hoping he didn’t jab us with something sharp. That night I barely slept a wink because our room contained a turret with a staircase that wound its way down to – you guessed it – the host’s quarters. The door on the turret did not have a lock and I had visions of Little Mr Creepy standing over me in the dead of night with a flashlight and a bloody scalpel. Suffice to say, we scraped a bit of our own furniture around that night. Right in front of that turret door.

WITH ANITA McPHERSON introduction to red wine. I find merlots can also be a great partner for summer food, and Amelie has a deep red color which exudes a bouquet of raspberry fruit with a gentle touch of warm spice. The flavor is all ripe berry; bright, fruity and sweet but not too heavy on the palate, making it ideal for those who like a bit of sweetness with their spicy food, or with their Peking Duck. Or go crazy and share it alongside a piece of pavlova with two spoons. That’s just the sort of tip someone should write down.

WHEN I was growing up, there was always a tub of this tomato relish in the fridge or in the pantry. We had it on toast in the morning or as a condiment on cold corned beef at Sunday night’s dinner, on sandwiches for school lunch, it was always on the table breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every time I eat this relish I think of my mum and my carefree, glorious days as a kid growing up on the farm, with our extensive vegetable garden and orchard that dad was so proud of. What we didn’t have we would swap with the neighbors for something that we had an abundance of. Now is the time to stock up your sauces, relishes and chutneys, with the tomato season in full swing. Method Slice tomatoes and onions, put in separate dishes and add salt to each. Cover and leave overnight. Next day, drain well. Bring to the boil stirring frequently, boil for five minutes then drain again. Bring back to the boil, add sugar then vinegar to just cover. Mix mustard and the curry powder with some vinegar to make a wet pouring paste, add this to the tomato mix. Boil for 1 hour and seal in jars or keep in the fridge.

IT seems it won’t be long before a hand-written letter becomes a thing of the past and an object belonging in a museum. That’s a sad thought for many of us who have romantic memories of the excitement we used to feel while we waited to receive one, or have a ribbonbound collection from our youth stashed away. Let’s face it – you’re unlikely to save the first text message you ever received from the person who turned out to be the love of your life. On the plus side, being able to share information in an instant is something to be grateful for, and I’m glad when a friend running late sends a text telling me to go ahead and order.

Food intolerances
What is left in Victoria?
A FOOD intolerance is an abnormal response to a food protein that leads to a reaction on the skin, gut or respiratory system. Typical food allergens include eggs, cows milk, peanuts, wheat and soya. In a healthy body, with a healthy immune system, these proteins can be ingested without a reaction. Babies and toddlers are prone to these allergies as their gut and immune system does not fully develop until about two years of age. During this time, the child’s body has been designed to be protected and nourished by breast milk. Breast milk provides all kinds of things (colostrum, bacteria and antigens) that help develop a strong immune system and healthy gut lining. Some people are unable to breastfeed for a (whole range of reasons), and that is OK, but the following information still applies. After antibiotic use, gastro, infections or a long term poor diet damage the cells and mucosal barrier on the linings of our skin, respiratory system and
IS there going to be anything left for future generations of Victorians, or do we have someone to wave a magic wand and save our bacon? The Federal Government has made it quite clear there are not going to be any handouts to assist industry in the foreseeable future. All the car manufacturers will be gone before the end of 2017, Warrnambool Cheese and Butter profits will be sent overseas as Saputo grabs almost 90 per cent of shares in the company, and what is the future for Fontera’s Victorian operations if what I read may be correct? I did note a bit of light coming our way, with Graincorp announcing a re-location of its food manufacturing operations from Brisbane to Numurkah and West Footscray, with an injection of some $125 million into its edible oils manufacturing which should create somewhere in the order of 150 jobs. I can distinctly remember our Prime Minister stating his government would create one million jobs in the first five years of being in government and Victoria looks like it will need some extra help with its quota. I also noted that unemployment has jumped to its highest level for 10 years so where are the jobs going to come from? I tried to do some calculations of what I thought it would cost - based on the latest Newstart allowance - when Toyota closes with a combined loss of some 50,000 jobs in the car industry. I made an assumption that 15,000 people (10,000 married, 5000 single and were 50 years or over) would be unable to find work, and how much would this cost in unemployment benefits in a year. My calculations roughly come to a little more than $130 million. Not much when you say it quickly, but I have not costed anything into my equation for spouse or rent assistance. We have long heard governments saying we

gut are damaged and this allows for the allergenic proteins to leak through and the immune system over reacts, this reaction is worse in little children. To fix the allergy reaction, we need not only to identify the allergen, but reseal the gut and improve the immune system reaction. Given that childhood allergies such as eczema, gastric related food intolerances and asthma are on the rise, this kind of awareness is vital to create healthy children. Here are the 5 stages to allergy treatment from a naturopathic perspective:
1. Identify the allergen – food allergy testing. 2. Remove the allergen – find suitable healthy alternatives. 3. Mop up the inflammation and control the symptoms – this can be with medicine or natural medicines. 4. Repair the linings of effected area – gut, skin, respiratory tract (probiotics, herbs and nutrients can be effective here). 5. Improve the immune response: probiotics, herbs and nutrients + Drink plenty of water, eat adequate fibre, fruits and vegetables.

By KEN CLARKE, WANGARATTA CERTIFIED PRACTICING ACCOUNTANT
kclarke@alphalink.com.au need to work smarter, but as Australia continues to sign free trade agreements (my personal opinion is too freely) we open ourselves up to greater competition. Open markets are great, but it’s only when competitive barriers are comparable. In a global economy, as protection falls, corporate decisions about where to invest capital will always look to the country where they can make the best use of this investment. Toyota now produces some 56 per cent of its cars in countries other than Japan because it is cheaper and more efficient to do so. But of course Australia doesn’t enter into the equation, especially when Toyota was unable to put to the workers an agreement to effectively cut their take home pay, as they tried to find cost savings of $3500 in each vehicle. A sad day that agreement could not be reached, and Toyota ruled its Australian operations were unlikely to be constantly profitable. Premier Denis Napthine must be wondering where it will all end – at least he was able to broker a deal with Coca Cola Amatil to save SPC Ardmona manufacturing in Shepparton. But Alcoa is still in the pipeline, and the sale of Shell’s oil refinery, which has been up for sale for more than a year, must also be resolved. Is there some hope for the manufacturing industry in my home city? Do we look to textiles as being one of the saving graces if governments - both state and federal - insist on our defence forces and law enforcement agencies using Australian manufacturers for their garments. This would be a great boost to our local economy would it not.
