THE Christmas Star has traditionally been associated with the spirit of the celebration. The Star of Bethlehem is one of the best known parts of the Christmas story, celebrated in the Gospel of Matthew as well as in a constellation of Christmas songs. It was the star that led the Three Wise Men to the infant Jesus, according to the Bible, but is there anything in the astronomical record that supports the

By KURT HICKLING story of the Christmas Star? Christ’s coming was foretold in Numbers 24:17, “There shall come a Star out of Jacob,” and in Revelation 22:16 he is called “the bright and morning star.” Many have dubbed the sight a “Christmas

Star,” and others have wondered about a similar sounding celestial event that coincided with the biblical first Christmas: the Star of Bethlehem. Stars that appear in the sky today are the same ones that were there two thousand years ago. Was there a nova at the time of Jesus’ birth? The exact time of his birth is not known,

but astronomers cannot place a new star appearance anywhere near the possible time. Could it have been a shooting star? Again, the astronomers say it was not likely. A meteor lasts only a few seconds or minutes at best. The wise men followed the star for weeks looking for Jesus.

Reiki for your pets What is Reiki? Reiki is a powerful yet gentle healing technique that offers many beneﬁts for health and wellness. Developed in Japan in the nineteenth century, Reiki has evolved and has been embraced in the western world as an effective system of energetic healing for a variety of health problems. Mainly used now as a primary holistic healing modality for people and our beloved animals to provide care for physical injuries and emotional issues. The Benefits of Reiki Life presents us and our animals with experiences which create stress and energetic blockages which our bodies hang on to, and can cause us to react to similar circumstances, cause depression, anger, pain, sleep disorders and illness. The greatest and most immediate overall health beneﬁt of Reiki is that it assists the body to release stress and tension, enabling healing to occur.

with Ovens & Kiewa Veterinary Hospital Most times Reiki involves a gentle touch technique working with energy flow within and around the body, allowing the body to relax and release energy blockages. Most people/animals experience a feeling of deep relaxation and a sense of peacefulness immediately after a Reiki treatment which can last up to several days. Other benefits of Reiki are specific to each person/animal. After receiving a treatment, an individual may experience any number of the following effects, on an emotional, spiritual, or physical level: an increased sense of well-being, calm, mental clarity, reduced stress, joy, relief of pain, increased energy and vitality, and feeling more balanced and centred.

PET CORNER During the month of December, RSPCA Victoria is offering Mates Rates on all adult dog adoptions. They’ve lowered the adoption fee to just $200, so now is the perfect time to adopt your new best mate. All dogs have been desexed, microchipped, and health and behaviour checked so they’re ready and waiting for you to take them home and shower them with summer (and beyond) loving. To find out who’s available visit www.rspcavic. org or visit an RSPCA

shelter today. Applicants no longer need to fill out the online application form, simply contact the shelter on (03) 5722 2874 to make an appointment to see your chosen animal. Wangaratta RSPCA’s animal adoption source code is BR100934. A GENTLE GIRL: Sophie is a naturally shy, curious and independent girl so a gentle approach will bring her out of her shell. Sophie needs a patient home where she can be given time to feel safe

and learn all about the world. She needs to continue to build her confidence with other dogs, but she is experienced at living with cats. Sophie’s microchip number is 956000006282370. PHOTO: RSPCA

◆ Halgania preissiana commemorates the amazing German-born British botanist and zoologist J.A.L. Preiss. PHOTOS: Helen Van Riet

Halgania preissiana - Purple Haze WHEN German-born British botanist and zoologist J.A.L. Preiss came to Western Australia in 1838, he went about collecting and documenting a huge variety of flora which was hitherto unknown to European botanists. In all, Preiss collected about 200,000 plant specimens, containing from 3000 to 4000 species. Preiss is commemorated in the names of about 100 species of flora. In an article last October the delightful little cream-flowered mallee Eucalyptus preissiana was featured. Halgania preissiana also commemorates this amazing botanist. This is a delightful lightly suckering ground cover with clusters of brilliant deep blue star-shaped flowers held above grey-green serrated foliage. H. preissiana occurs naturally in desert regions of WA.

It thrives in full sun and is tolerant of frost. It makes an ideal groundcover or rockery plant. It will grow back with fresh new growth from underground rhizomes if damaged or mown. It flowers prolifically from September to February, with sporadic flushes throughout the remainder of the year. The photos above are of a patch of H. preissiana in our Wangaratta South garden. I planted a rooted cutting about ten years ago. It has now spread to a mass of grey-green foliage topped with hazy blue stars and measuring about a square metre across. It is a very effective weed suppressant and a great ‘friendship plant’ as cuttings continue to be shared with fellow gardeners. H. preissiana is a member of the

Boraginceae family. Close examination of the flowers will reveal a similar structure to Borage or Comfrey flowers. Researchers have concluded that the structure of these flowers lends itself to them being ‘buzzpollinated’ by the dispersal of pollen by visiting bees. This delightful little Aussie ground cover is sometimes available from generalist nurseries and readily from specialist Australian plant nurseries. It can be propagated easily from cuttings of firm young growth, or from digging up some of the rooted rhizomatous growth and re-potting to grow on before planting out. Plants accept occasional light fertiliser and supplementary water but will survive and flower well with little attention, making it an ideal addition to a low water use garden.

WINE TALK

YOUR HEALTH

Pizzini Wines Nonna Gisella Sangiovese THE problem with doing your Christmas shopping early is that if you’re not careful, you can ﬁnd yourself in a pickle and spending more than you intended. While I pride myself on putting things away during the year, I’m beginning to think I’m not so smart after all, because I often can’t remember what I bought or where I put it. Then I see something which is perfect for someone and buy it - only to reach gift wrapping day and realise I’ve doubled up on one person, but don’t have anything for another. Time to start keeping a list and checking it twice - and making sure gift wrapping is done early when there is still enough time to get to the shops if I need to. I will also stock up on wine so if necessary, I can give all the grown-ups a bottle of Sangiovese. King Valley’s Pizzini Wines Nonna Gisella Sangiovese is a medium-bodied red which is a bit of a crowd-pleaser. It has a delightful, warm and spicy aroma of plum fruit, is fresh and bitey with red berry fruit ﬂavour but eminently savoury, making it ideal on the

with Naturopath Belinda McPherson (BHSCI. NATUROPATHY) table with a wide range of dishes. While it will go well with your pork, turkey or ham for the big day, it is also ideal to serve at a family barbecue on Boxing Day. Or keep it; and enjoy a glass with an enormous ham sandwich for supper when all this is over. I like to keep everyone happy. COST: About $25 a bottle.

This Day in History, 1973 AS crowds gathered for the opening of Avian Park in Wangaratta to both trotting and greyhound racing, a wild storm came minutes before the first race was due to start and washed out the meeting. The Hume Highway was blocked by fallen trees, and there was widespread power blackouts. Avian Park opened the following night and drew a crowd of 1500 patrons.

◆ OVERWORKED: Make sure you give yourself a break to get refreshed for the new year this Christmas holiday period.

Kick start holiday mode BEFORE Christmas many people become a bit of a mess. Burnt out, over it, desperately needing a break, we rush around to get everything finalised at work, pack, clean the house and find Christmas presents. Over the past years, I have noticed that many people simply ‘get through’ Christmas, without really having a ‘break’. This means they miss out on an opportunity to feel clear headed, fresh, energetic and ready to take on any challenges that the new year may bring. It is so important for the health of our bodies and minds that we have a break, which is really just a rest from routine and from the ordinary structure of our life and deadlines. I love holidays that give me time to rest, reflect and set some clear goals

for the year ahead. Post-holiday cleanse: The body 1. Drink loads of water - try having a litre of water on rising. If your tummy is a little gurgly after the holiday, try adding the juice of half a lemon to your water. 2. Rest - use those long summer days to do some long summer relaxing. Just as a dirty house takes hours and energy to clean, so does your body. Sleep and rest is detox time. It refuels you after a busy day and cleans your body of the junk you pump it full of. 2. Make fresh juices - a tasty, easy to digest food, juices give you a gentle clean out and allow your digestion a well-earned break. My new favourite is pineapple, green apple and watermelon. Or try lemon, ginger, orange and carrot.

5. Move - exercise creates a feeling of calm and energy. If you are moving already, go for a run or bike ride or swim. If you are not moving, get started. Start with 10-15 minutes a day. You need to sweat. This is one of the best things about exercise. Sweating cools the body down and carries unwanted gunk out through your skin. Do it. You’ll feel great afterwards. 6. De-stress: When you are tired, stress will take a bigger toll on your health leading to more pronounced symptoms that may have a larger impact on your daily life. If you are struggling with stress/busyness/overwhelm then come see us. We can deﬁnitely help you in this area. I hope this helps you to kick start your new year. Happy 2023 everyone.

From page 1

We can rule out comets as well as modern astronomers know which comets were close enough to Earth hundreds and thousands of years ago and there was no comet visible to humans around the time of Christ’s birth. Some stargazers suggest that if we move the birth of Jesus to the winter time in December of 6 B.C., we can attribute the star to the time the planets Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn who appeared close together in the heavens and formed a triangle in the group of stars known as Pisces. Simulations show that there was a rare series of planetary groupings, or conjunctions, in 3 B.C. and 2 B.C. The ﬁrst conjunction was on the morning of June 12 in 3 B.C., with Venus close to Saturn in the eastern sky. The case of the Christmas Star illustrates how slippery things can get when you try to mix scripture and science. In modern times, the Christmas star was a stationary point of Jupiter. Jupiter, in its path across the sky during December, is generally seen to move from east

to west across the starry background and can be clearly seen as a distinct white glow in the northern skies after 9pm when skies are clear in North East Victoria. In the book entitled The Star of Bethlehem: The Legacy of the Magi, professor Dr Michael Molnar found that in 6 B.C., the moon’s and Jupiter’s paths crossed twice, illuminating the sky exactly in the constellation of Aries. Dr Molnar theorised that to the Magi, this occurrence was literally a beacon calling them to something spectacular and heralding the birth of a new king. In an interview with the New York Times, Molnar said, “My prediction was exactly fulﬁlled. “On March 20, 6 B.C., right at sunset, the moon eclipsed the planet Jupiter, and one month later, on April 17, the event occurred again, this time high in the sky at noon in the direction of Bethlehem as viewed from Jerusalem.” Whether it was a miracle one-off or some imaginative marketing by Matthew, bright stars (or planets) in the December sky still hold a fascination for most of us today.

EMPLOYEES WITH DISABILITIES ALL employees working in Australia have workplace rights, including minimum wages and conditions of employment. Everyone has the right to work in a safe environment, free from unlawful discrimination, bullying and harassment. The Fair Work Ombudsman has help, information and guidance for employees with disability, for their employers and for employers looking to hire a prospective employee who may have disability. Every employee is entitled to a minimum rate of pay. For most employees, this minimum rate is set by the award that covers their industry or occupation. The Supported Wage System is for employees with disability who are not able to perform jobs at the same capacity as any other employee. Under the Supported Wage System an employee’s work capacity is assessed to ﬁnd out their rate of pay. This assessment can only be carried out by a qualiﬁed independent assessor. Protections at work All employees have protected rights at work. These include: workplace rights - taking or not taking part in industrial activities or belonging or not belonging to an industrial association; being free from unlawful discrimination - employees can’t be treated differently or worse because of their workplace rights, or for a discriminatory reason. Disability discrimination in the workplace It’s unlawful for an employer to take adverse action against an employee or potential employee because of their disability. Adverse action against someone with disability could include: not hiring a potential employee; offering an employee or a potential employee different and unfair terms and conditions for the job compared to other employees; treating an employee differently to other employees; causing disadvantage to an employee (for example, not giving an employee minimum entitlements such as pay or leave);

changing an employee’s job to their disadvantage or ﬁring an employee. It’s also unlawful to discriminate against or harass an employee or potential employee under federal, state and territory anti-discrimination laws. There are also other government and private organisations that can provide assistance for employees with disability. IncludeAbility is an initiative of the Australian Human Rights Commission that supports people with disability looking for work and employers who want to create meaningful employment opportunities for employees with disability. The Australian Human Rights Commission considers and accepts complaints of workplace discrimination and harassment covered under federal law including complaints based

on disability. You can contact the Fair Work Commission if you’ve lost your job and think you were sacked because of unlawful discrimination or for a reason that is harsh, unjust or unreasonable. You have 21 days to apply starting the day after you were dismissed. JobAccess is the national hub for workplace and employment information for people with disability, employers and service providers. JobAccess also supports a number of ways for you to make a complaint or to report abuse or neglect of people with disability through their National Disability Abuse and Neglect hotline. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding directly to people with disability. The RecruitAbility scheme aims to attract

and develop applicants with disability into the Australian Public Service (APS). The scheme also aims to facilitate cultural change in selection panels and agency recruitment. State or territory anti-discrimination bodies can consider and investigate breaches of state or territory anti-discrimination laws in workplaces. The Australian Network on Disability (AND) is a national, not for proﬁt organisation who assist organisations to develop their behaviours, attitudes, systems and knowledge so they can successfully engage with people with disability as staff, customers and stakeholders. People with Disability Australia (PWDA) is a national disability rights, advocacy and representative organisation that is made up of, led and governed by people with disability.

GONE FISHING

◆ WHAT A CATCH: Andrew Colston with a giant 115cm long Murray cod that he caught in Lake Eildon last week. Footage of this giant being caught can be seen at Andrew’s YouTube Channel, simply titled “Andrew Colston”. Look for the video “115cm Murray cod in Lake Eildon”.

Great holiday fishing IT’S hard to believe that it’s already Christmas. The endless winter has made spring feel non existent this year and then suddenly...Santa Clause is getting ready to head south with a sack full of toys. This is my last fishing column for the year, so I will be giving a bit of a fishing forecast for the weeks ahead before I return in January. Murray cod: Access to many of the region’s rivers remains locked, or restricted due to recent flood and storm damage. You may need to do a bit of research before heading out. The rivers are fishing very well for cod despite still being a bit high. Lake Mulwala is fishing exceptionally well at the moment with many people catching Murray cod there. Meanwhile, Lake Eildon has been producing some absolute giant fish. Yellowbelly: Lake Nillahcootie is the place to go to catch a feed of yellowbelly, but to catch a big trophy fish Lake Hume is a better option. Lake Eildon has been producing a few large yellowbelly recently as well. Redfin: Lake Hume has been the red-

with Rob Alexander WANGARATTA fin capital of Victoria for about three years running now and still continues to fish very well. There are lots of small redfin being caught there, but schools of larger fish are being found and some decent redfin up to 40cm have been caught. Trout: The creeks and rivers are looking amazing for trout at the moment. They’re higher than usual for this time of the year, but they’re flowing well and the water is cooler than usual for December. The trout fishing is the best that I have seen it in December for a long time. In a nutshell, now is a great time to fish for just about everything in North East Victoria. I would like to thank each and every one of you who have read my weekly fishing column throughout the year, and wish you all a very happy and safe Christmas.

PICTURE books are sometimes dismissed as trivial, light and fluffy affairs, but those who know them well understand the deeper impact they can actually have, both on young readers and the adults reading with them. The combination of words and illustrations drawn together in a book can create opportunities not just to make memories while enjoying a relaxing time together, but also to start conversations. Three books released this year by Allen & Unwin are ideal examples. There’s Sujean Rim’s ‘Take a Breath’, which follows the story of a young bird named Bob who’s finding it difficult to learn how to fly. Presented with humour and complete understanding of the rollercoaster of emotions that come with learning something new, the book follows Bob’s journey as he meets Crow, who uses his own experience to help the young bird, telling him all he needs to do is “take a breath”. It’s a great way to introduce kids to the concept of mindful breathing, which can sometimes be just what’s needed to offer a greater sense of control and calm in stressful situations. Kids will warm to Bob and his plight, and though the illustrations are simple, they beautifully convey all the emotions the story covers. Speaking of emotions, Rebekah Ballagh’s ‘Big Feelings’ is a book which not only describes emotions, but is also a resource about how to manage them. “Happy feelings, worried ones, mad or glum or blue. Listen to each feeling, sent here to help you,” Ballagh, a qualified counsellor, writes. Featuring a series of situations in which kids may find themselves, the book explains why the youngsters in the story may feel as they do, and how they deal with those feelings. It also includes strategies which can be employed by parents, caregivers and teachers in a variety of situations. Then there’s ‘The Very Hard Book’, written by Idan Ben-Barak (author of

the funny, interactive ‘Do Not Lick This Book’), and illustrated by Philip Bunting. A book that will get kids thinking, it sets challenges such as: “Imagine the biggest elephant you can. Now imagine an even bigger one”, “drop something by accident”, and “dig half a hole”. There’s an explanation relating to each challenge at the back of the book. Ben-Barak says ‘The Very Hard Book’ “could be the catalyst for discussions about free will, mind-body connection, inﬁnity, memory, logic, paradoxes and perception, or, if it’s been a long day and you’re both tired by bedtime, it could be just good, silly fun”.
