Make a wish on Saturday By BELINDA HARRISON

DEBBIE Robison was recently presented with a milestone certiﬁcate for her 30 years of volunteer work for Make-A-Wish. She is a part of the Wangaratta Make-A-Wish and says she has stayed at the local branch for so long due to the people she’s met through it. “The families (I’ve met) were just beautiful,” she said. “So were some of the other volunteers as well, I’ve met so many people through the organisation. “It’s just a fantastic organisation to be part of.” Ms Robison was one of the founding members of the Wangaratta Make-A-Wish branch and while she’s seen many changes in the foundation as a whole, she says the branches haven’t changed much. “The national office has become a lot bigger, it’s a lot more streamlined,” she said. “But here at the local branch we still maintain a small base of volunteers.” Currently the Wangaratta branch consists of ﬁve members who range from just over a year of volunteering to Ms Robison’s 30 years of volunteering. The small group helps grant wishes for children in areas between Albury/Wodonga and the Goulburn Valley which range from trips to the Gold Coast to building cubby houses.

Cube poo – the mystery of the bare-nosed wombat is solved THE mystery of the cubeshaped faeces that wombats produce has long been a subject of fascination for scientists and lay-people alike. It is thought that these unusually shaped poos are used by wombats to communicate with one another when left in prominent areas around their habitat, such as rocks, and fallen trees or logs. However, the underlying mechanism that enables the humble wombat to form such perfect cubes (which is unique to them alone) has been a focus of many a scientist over the years and now, we ﬁnally have a conclusive answer. A study conducted by Yang et. al. in 2021 began to shed light on the curious droppings left behind by the bare-nosed (common) wombat that is found in areas of south-eastern Australia. The study found that differing areas of muscular

with Alex Bucci, Warby Street Veterinary Hospital thickness and stiffness within the intestines (the collection of ‘tubes’ that pass food from stomach to rectum), form the angular edges of the faeces as it passes through the last 17 per cent of the intestinal tract. The ﬁnal piece of the puzzle came about by Dr Carver, from the University of Tasmania in February of this year. After pondering how obscure geometrical shapes are formed within nature after looking at cooling lava from volcanos, Dr Carver wondered if the same principle could be applied to the cubed faeces of the wombat. Dr Carver and his team studied the effects of drying time on corn starch slurry in a laboratory.

Drying of the slurry resulted in cracks forming at regular length intervals and the length of the intervals was determined by how quickly or slowly the slurry was dried. This drying is replicated in the last part of the intestinal tract, called the colon. The colon is responsible for reabsorbing water from the slurry of food passing through the digestive tract back into the body, leaving ﬁrm faeces behind to be excreted out of the body. The colon of the barenosed wombat just so happens to ‘dry’ the faeces at a rate which allows it to break off in perfect cube formation. This unique combination of intestinal anatomy and physiology discovered in these studies is what allows the bare-nosed wombat to produce one of the more unusual droppings in the animal kingdom.

with Rob Alexander WANGARATTA ◆ FUN TO CATCH: A carp caught in a lagoon on the Ovens River on a bunch of worms suspended under a bubble float on the weekend.

Theories to help catch Murray cod in autumn THE change of weather has already lead to a slow down in Murray cod fishing reports from around the region, but do not despair... they are still biting. Every year in summer time, the Murray cod fishing is quite consistent. As we enter autumn, that consistency starts to drop away leading to hot and cold Murray cod fishing. While I have had several reports of slow Murray cod fishing in the Ovens River and Lake Mulwala over the last week, historically some of my most memorable cod fishing trips have been in March and April. The key to autumn Murray cod fishing is to pay attention

to the environmental factors. We all have different theories and beliefs when it comes to fishing, so here are some of my theories when it comes to Murray cod fishing during autumn. – Hotter days are better than cooler days. – A barometer of around 1020hpa is a good time to fish. – Just before a cool change hits, fish as the change passes through. – A stable barometer is always handy in autumn. – Slow your lure retrieve speed right down. Those are just a few things that have worked for me over the years. Apart from the Murray cod fishing, the redfin have all

This Day in History, 1978 AT 10pm on March 15, 1978, an eerie light was observed from Moyhu in the direction of Greta. It had the appearance of a glowing round object, waxing and waning in brightness. The dog of the family observing the phenomenon barked wildly, the light changed shape, became redder, then suddenly disappeared. The dog quietened and the group of observers were left wondering. Two days later, confirmation of the sighting came from two reluctant witnesses. They confessed to seeing the light, but as they had been leaving the Moyhu pub at the time, they thought if they mentioned it, they might not have been believed.

but disappeared from Lake Hume. I have heard reports of a few small redfin being caught at Lake Buffalo, but nothing spectacular. I fished Lake William Hovell again last week and caught a few small redfin just casting soft plastics from the bank. The larger fish were nowhere to ne seen. I have been having a lot of fun catching carp in the lagoons along the Ovens River though. Using worms suspended underneath a bubble float is so much fun, especially for kids. Who cares if it is just a stinking carp, as soon as that float starts bouncing it‘s exciting.

READER’S TALK

The Bookbinder of Jericho

with Naturopath Sophie Lorback (BHSCI. NATUROPATHY) ◆ DELICIOUS AND HEALTHY: This Persian love cake is decorated with vanilla icing, crushed pistachio nuts and dried rose petals.

Decade of healthy advice THIS March our naturopathic clinic turns 10. This means we have also been writing this column for 10 years. To celebrate and say thank you to everyone for reading our articles on health and gardening we wanted to share two herbal naturopathic celebration recipes highlighting some of our favourite herbs. Lemon verbena mocktail - create this dazzling verbena spritz ideally when lemon verbena is in season, or buy the dried leaves from a tea specialist. Lemon verbena cordial • 35g fresh lemon verbena leaves (or 10g dried if you can’t get fresh ones) • 250g caster sugar • 1 cup water 1) Simmer these ingredients on a low heat until all the sugar is dissolved. 2) Set aside to cool. 3) Add one to three tablespoons of

the syrup to sparkling mineral water and crushed ice. 4) Garnish with a strip of rolled lemon zest skewered with a cocktail stick and a sprig of mint. For a bit more of a celebration mix the syrup with prosecco and a dash of lemon bitters. Herbal birthday cake AKA Persian love cake • 200g butter • 3/4 cup brown sugar • 3 eggs • 1 and 1/2 cups SR ﬂour • 3/4 cup almond meal • 2 teaspoons grated orange rind and 2/3 cup juice • 1 tablespoon rosewater • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom • 2 tablespoons pistachio kernels chopped • Edible dried rose petals to serve –

we also love to add some chamomile flowers and corn flowers. • Orange zest to serve. Instructions 1) Preheat oven to 180 degrees. 2) Put all the ingredients (except dried flowers and zest) into a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined. 3) Pour mixture into a greased cake tin. 4) Bake for 40 minutes until the cake skewer inserts and comes out clean. 5) Stand for 5 minutes and then turn cake onto a wire rack to cool. You can serve as is with dried flowers and sifted icing sugar or make an orange juice icing from one cup of icing sugar and one tablespoon of orange juice. Mix well and drizzle over the cake then top with the flowers.

WHAT is lost when knowledge is withheld? We were so fortunate when we joined Edgars Books and News as the new owners to experience our love of books ﬁrsthand being lived out every day with the beautiful curation and selection of books in store by the previous owners. How lucky were we to be immersed in the world of words and hugged by books every day? One of the stand out books that literally sold itself was the deeply thought-provoking, historically based story celebrating words and their power of language to shape the world as told in the delightful The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams. Pip was born in London, grew up in Sydney, and now lives in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia with her family and an assortment of animals. She has spent most of her working life as a social researcher, studying what keeps us well and what helps us thrive. Her ﬁrst novel, The Dictionary of Lost Words, was based on her original research in the Oxford English Dictionary archives so it is with much anticipation that we welcome her second novel, a companion to The Dictionary of Lost Words, which again combines her talent for historical research and beautiful storytelling. The Bookbinder of Jericho tells the story of Peggy and Maude, twin sisters who work in the bindery at Oxford University Press in Jericho. Peggy is intelligent, ambitious and dreams of going to Oxford University, but for most of her life she has been told her job is to bind the books, not read them.

with Edgars Books & News

Maude, meanwhile, wants nothing more than what she has. She is extraordinary but vulnerable. Peggy needs to watch over her. When refugees arrive from the devastated cities of Belgium, it sends ripples through the community and through the sisters’ lives. Peggy begins to see the possibility of another future where she can use her intellect and not just her hands, but as war and illness reshape her world, it is love, and the responsibility that comes with it, that threaten to hold her back. In this beautiful companion to The Dictionary of Lost Words, Pip Williams explores another little-known slice of history seen through women’s eyes. Evocative, subversive and rich with unforgettable characters, The Bookbinder of Jericho is a story about knowledge, who gets to make it, who gets to access it, and what is lost when it is withheld.

Make a wish on Saturday FEATURE STORY

They also fundraise and host Bunnings barbeques including the one they are running on Saturday, March 18 at the Wangaratta store. Local branch president Carole Breust, who’s volunteered in Wangaratta for 10 years, says due to the small number of members they can’t do as much fundraising as they’d like to. “We usually hold two barbecues at Bunnings a year,” she said. “We’d like to do more fundraising, but we’re not able to with the numbers that we have.” Ms Breust said most people are more than willing to donate to their fundraising efforts but are often unlikely to join in and volunteer. One of the reasons she believes this is the case is because

people think it is going to be a huge time commitment when it actually isn’t. “We’ve had a few people express interest in being volunteers, but I really think it’s the fear that they’re going to be tied up in this time consuming thing,” she said. “It’s not that at all; we hold meetings maybe once a month, which go for an hour at the most.” Ms Breust also believes people are hesitant to join due to the duties that they may have to fulﬁl such as having to see sick kids but she says the kids are normally in relatively good health when they do visit them. “I think some people are a little bit wary,” she said. “You don’t have to visit families if you don’t feel comfortable doing that, but that’s really a highlight of the job.” Ms Robison also said that if

there are any other duties people don’t want to do, they don’t have to. “We don’t throw people in at the deep end,” she said. “If they don’t want to do the ﬁnancial side of it, they don’t do the ﬁnancial side.” “If they can’t come to meetings, for whatever reason, they don’t have to.” According to Ms Breust, working with Make-A-Wish doesn’t have to be a huge effort, and it is highly rewarding to give back to not only the child but their family as well. “What we do at Make-A-Wish isn’t just for the child it’s for their family and extended family as well,” she said. “They get to see their child happy about something.” “So it can be just a little thing, but it’s huge to the child.”

NorthEast JOBS New paid family and domestic violence leave

Circulating in Wangaratta, Myrtleford, Bright, Mt Beauty, Beechworth, Yackandandah, Rutherglen, Chiltern and districts

EMPLOYEES of non-small business employers can now access 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave in a 12 month period. Employees of small businesses (employers with less than 15 employees) can access the leave from 1 August 2023. Until then, they can continue to take unpaid family and domestic violence leave. All employees in the Fair Work system (including part-time and casual employees) will be entitled to 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave in a 12 month period. This new entitlement replaces the existing entitlement to ﬁve days of unpaid family and domestic violence leave under the National Employment Standards (NES). Employees are entitled to the full 10 days upfront, meaning they won’t have to accumulate it over time. The leave doesn’t accumulate from year to year if it isn’t used. Employees who start on or after the date that the paid leave entitlement becomes available at their new workplace can access the full 10 days from their ﬁrst day. The leave will renew on their work anniversary. Employees who are already employed when the paid leave entitlement starts in their workplace can access the full 10 days on the relevant start date. The leave then renews on the anniversary

of when they started working for that employer (not on the anniversary of the relevant start date).

Taking family and domestic violence leave Employees must be experiencing family and domestic violence to be eligible to take paid family and domestic violence leave. They can take this paid leave if they need to do something to deal with the impact of family and domestic violence including: t making arrangements for their safety, or the safety of a close relative (including relocation) t attending court hearings t accessing police services t attending counselling t attending appointments with medical, ﬁnancial or legal professionals. Under the new provisions, an employee is experiencing family and domestic violence if the employee’s close relative, current or former intimate partner, or member of their household both: t seeks to coerce or control them and cause them harm or fear t is violent, threatening or behaves in another abusive way. A close relative is an employees’ spouse or former spouse, de facto partner or former de facto partner, child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild or sibling of an employee’s current or former spouse or de fact partner, or a person

related to the employee according to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander kinship rules.

Payment for leave Full-time and part-time employees can take paid family and domestic violence leave at their full pay rate for the hours they would have worked if they weren’t on leave. Casual employees will be paid at their full pay rate for the hours they were rostered to work in the period they took leave. An employee’s full pay rate is their base rate plus any: t incentive-based payments and bonuses t loadings t monetary allowances t overtime or penalty rates t any other separately identiﬁable amounts. An employee can use paid family and domestic violence leave during a period of paid personal/carer’s or annual leave. If this happens, the employee is no longer on the other form of paid leave and is taking paid family and domestic violence leave instead. The employee needs to give their employer the required notice and evidence. There are rules about how information about paid family and domestic violence leave must be reported on pay slips and what information must not be included, including some transitional rules. This is to reduce the risk to an employee’s safety when accessing paid family and domestic

violence leave. If an employee takes paid family and domestic violence leave, they have to let their employer know as soon as possible. This could be after the leave has started. An employer can ask their employee for evidence to show that the employee needs to do something to deal with family and domestic violence and it’s not practical to do that outside their hours of work. An employer can only use this information to satisfy themselves that the employee is entitled to family and domestic violence leave, unless the employee consents, the employer is required to deal with the information by law, or it’s necessary to protect the life, health or safety of the employee or another person. The employer can’t use the information for other purposes, including to take adverse action against the employee. All other rules about notice and evidence are the same as the currents rules for taking unpaid family and domestic violence leave. Some workplaces may provide employees with paid family and domestic violence leave entitlements in registered agreements, employment contracts or workplace policies. If the entitlement to paid family and domestic violence leave in any of these instruments is less than the minimum entitlement under the NES, the NES entitlement applies.

PAUL Jennings is one of Australia’s most beloved authors for young people - and is also fondly remembered by many adults who grew up reading his work. Since the publication of his ﬁrst book of short stories (‘Unreal!’) in 1985, through the ﬁrst two series of TV show ‘Round the Twist’ based on his creations, and with more recent releases including ‘A Different Dog’, ‘A Different Boy’ and ‘A Different Land’, readers have taken him to their hearts. So when a new Jennings book arrives, it’s always cause for celebration. Fans of the Warrnamboolbased writer have been indulging their thirst for Jennings’ storytelling with ‘The Lorikeet Tree’, which was released on January 31. Set in the Warrnambool area, it follows the story of a twin sister and brother facing the hardest year of their lives, while also discovering the healing power of nature. The story is told from the perspective of teenage Emily Mortimer, who loves the bush and the native animals on her family’s reforested property - particularly the beautiful rainbow lorikeets which nest in one of the tallest trees. But when her father is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Emily’s world enters a tailspin. Her twin brother, Alex, refuses to accept the truth. His coping mechanism is to build elaborate additions to his treehouse in the superstitious belief that it will avert disaster, leaving Emily to deal with the

◆ NEW JENNINGS: From beloved Australian author Paul Jennings comes a story of family, loss and love.

harsh reality on her own. When Alex secretly adopts a feral kitten, going against everything that’s important to Emily, the siblings’ emotions reach boiling point, with potentially dangerous consequences for them all. Emily’s account of the drama that takes place as the twins face the impending loss of their Dad and their beloved home is interspersed with feedback sheets from the literature teacher to whom she’s submitting the writing, and then to a new relief teacher who takes over the class. Jennings’ teaching background is evident in these, and in his understanding of the emotions felt by young people. As he often says, when young people ask him how he knows

what it’s like to be them, he tells them he hasn’t forgotten what it’s like to feel small and powerless, or indeed the guilt, embarrassment, fear and anxiety that comes with growing up. The fact he writes believably as a teenage female protagonist is testament to those empathetic skills. This is not Paul Jennings in ‘funny’ mode, but a heartfelt story of family, loss and love from a writer whose work encompasses the breadth of human feeling. * We have a copy of Paul Jenning’s ‘The Lorikeet Tree’ (Allen & Unwin, RRP $19.99 to give away to one lucky reader.
