FROM THE FOR REAL TEAM Welcome to the December edition of For Real Magazine.

What a busy time of year! The For Real Team has enjoyed getting into the festive spirit while getting our December edition of the magazine completed.

Christmas is a time for celebration, good food and spending time with family and friends. Its also a time to start thinking about the New Year and making or breaking those New Years Resolutions.

The beginning of December usually starts with assembling the Christmas Tree and decorating our houses and work places with an assortment of Christmas decorations.

December is also packed full of events, locally we have the South Rotary Christmas pageant as well as Carols in the Park both hugely popular in our home town of the Silver City.

Kids of all ages eagerly await the arrival of Santa on the 25th of December, while reflecting on their behavior over the past year.

Another favorite past time that marks the arrival of Christmas is the Broken Hill Christmas Lights display. The Christmas lights display is the last chance for the children to catch a gimps of Santa and remind him that they are deserving of a gift and not a lump of coal.

From all of us at For Real we wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe new year.

Broken Hill christmas pageant rotary club of broken hill south Every year in early December crowds in anticipation of the Christmas Pageant Parade line the streets of central Broken Hill. Individuals and organisations enter floats or march with the parade. This is a must attend item on the Broken Hill annual calendar and with carols in the park, is a local Christmas tradition.

In 1992 - 93 the Rotary Club of Broken Hill South held discussions of reinvigorating the Broken Hill Christmas Pageant. A member of the club Mr. John Rouse and club board of directors put into plan a pageant that would bring cheer and Christmas Spirit to our community.

Sadly the 1992 pageant was postponed due to a massive thunderstorm, however, towards the end of October 1993 Mr. Rouse and the Rotary Club of Broken Hill South organised its inaugural Christmas Pageant; and this year it celebrates the 20th anniversary of the pageant.

Over the years the Broken Hill City Council also became involved and this wonderful and magical experience has been maintained for the children and the community and is now part of the social heritage in our great city.

Over those twenty years hundreds of businesses, houses, individuals and community organisations have come together in true Christmas spirit and supported the pageant with decorated floats and attended the Mardi Gras afterwards in Sturt Park and at the Community Centre in Beryl Street.

Rotarians John Rouse and Bill Parker as well as officers of the City Council have now forged a new partnership and look forward to an excellent pageant this year. As we head towards the festive season we ask that all of our society gather once more and support the Christmas pageant and with cheer in our hearts celebrate the occasion and let’s do it for the children, be they young or young at heart.

This year the pageant is held on Saturday the 7th of December, we at South Rotary look forward to seeing you there and enjoying this traditional start to the festive season.

CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT 15th december 2013 Broken Hill Carols By Candlelight started in 1980 at the request of the then Mayor, Peter Black. It began with a handful of people in Sturt Park under the leadership of Ken Clendenning.

It was a rather subdued affair with the assistance of local musical groups like to BIU Band and the Civic Orchestra.

Ken left the city in 1984 and the baton was passed to John Curtis who, with a band of faithful volunteers, has built Carols into a major community event.

Normally, around 2000 people bring their rugs and chairs to the park, usually on the second Sunday evening in December, to enjoy the entertainment and join in the singing of familiar Christmas carols.

Almost every second year a guest artist joins in the magical way of capturing the Spirit of Christmas - as John says regularly, “Jesus is the reason for the season”. Those words have become the hallmark of Carols, so much so, that there is a group of blokes who have a bet each year on when John will utter those words.

Whoever is closest to the time wins the kitty! When Marina Prior was the featured artist at the 2009 Carols, over 4000 people attended making a most memorable evening.

Carols by Candlelight is a unique Australian way of ushering in Christmas. It originated in southeastern Australia in the 19th century and was popularised in Melbourne in 1937.

10

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

The tradition has since spread around the world. It involves people gathering, usually outdoors in a park, to sing carols by candlelight accompanied by a band. Today, the largest such event is held annually at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne’s King’s Domain Gardens on Christmas eve which began in 1938.

One of the earliest forms of Carols by Candlelight began when Cornish miners in Moonta, gathered on Christmas Eve to sing carols lit with candles stuck to the brims of their safety hats. The tradition spread through Victoria and Melbourne until it was popularised in 1938 by Norman Banks, a radio announcer, then with Melbourne radio station 3KZ. Whilst walking home from his night-time radio shift on Christmas eve in 1937, he passed a window and saw inside an elderly woman sitting up in bed, listening to Away In A Manger being played on the radio and singing along, with her face being lit by candlelight. Wondering how many others spent Christmas alone, he had the idea to gather a large group of people to all sing Christmas carols together by candlelight and the rest they say is history.

The local Carols By Candlelight is now enjoying its 34th year and again will take place On Sunday 15th December at 7.30pm. at Sturt Park. The Girl Guides will be selling battery operated candles but you can bring your own.

There will be a barbecue, drinks and ice creams on sale and admission is free.

Boxing Day IN AUSTRALIA 26th December 2013 Boxing Day is traditionally, the day following Christmas Day when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts from their bosses or employers, known as a “Christmas box”. Today, Boxing Day is better known as a bank or public holiday that occurs on 26 December, or the first or second weekday after Christmas Day, depending on national or regional laws.

In Australia, December 26 is the Boxing Day holiday celebrated, except in South Australia. Where they observe a holiday known as Proclamation Day on the same day.

It is observed in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and some other Commonwealth nations. In South Africa, Boxing Day was renamed to Day of Goodwill in 1994. In Ireland, the day is known as St. Stephen’s Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Stiofáin) or the Day of the Wren (Irish: Lá an Dreoilín). In many European countries, including notably Germany, Poland, Scandinavia and the Netherlands, 26 December is celebrated as the Second Christmas Day.

The match starts on Boxing Day and may last up to five days. Between 1999 and 2007, the Australian cricket team won all of the Boxing Day Test matches, marking a huge victory for our nation.

The other reasons why Boxing Day is called “boxing” day are: • •

• •

A ‘Christmas Box’ in Britain is a name for a Christmas present.

Boxing Day was a day off for servants and when they received a ‘Christmas Box’ from the master.

The servants would also go home to give ‘Christmas Boxes’ to their families.

A box to collect money for the poor was placed in Churches on Christmas day then opened the next day.

Great sailing ships when setting sail would have a sealed box containing money on board for good luck.

If the voyage were a success, the box was given to a priest, opened at Christmas and the contents given to the poor.

Many important sports events are held on Boxing Day. The Boxing Day test match between the Australian National cricket team and other national teams touring Australia.

Another important sporting event that starts on Boxing Day is the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. This is also known as the Bluewater Classic and covers a distance of 630 nautical miles between Sydney Harbour and Hobart on the island of Tasmania. Traditionally, it took about six days for the yachts to reach Hobart, but now the fastest yacht usually reaches the finish in less than two days.

The media interest in these prominent sports mean television programs are dominated by sporting events on Boxing Day. People also spend the day travelling home from their relatives or to an intended destination for their summer holiday, which tends to coincide with the school holiday period.

In some parts of Australia, the post-Christmas sales begin on Boxing Day. Stores offer their excess stock that was not sold before Christmas Day at reduced prices. Many people take advantage of the sales to buy products or services at significantly lower prices.

summer solstice

Museum opening

21st december 2013

bh rsl sub-branch

The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the sun stands still in declination; that is, the seasonal movement of the sun’s path (as seen from Earth) comes to a stop before reversing direction.

The refurbishment of the Broken Hill Returned Serviceman’s League (BHRSL) sub-branch museum was held at 12noon on Monday 11th November 2013.

The effects of the off-centre tilt of the Earth on its axis and its elliptical orbit around the sun combine near the dates of the Solstice to make the sun appear to move slightly slower than expected when measured by a watch or clock. The summer solstice occurs once a year in December when the sun’s track across the Australian sky reaches its highest point. It is a day that features the most daylight hours in any of the year. This year is occurs on 21st of December.

A similar situation occurs during the winter solstice around the 21st of June, this is the shortest day of the year, with the least amount of daylight hours. The December solstice has influenced the lives of many people over the centuries, particularly through art, literature, mythology and religion.

In Ancient Rome, the winter (December) solstice festival Saturnalia began on December 17 and lasted for seven days. It was held to honour the father of the gods and was characterised by the suspension of discipline and reversal of the usual order. Grudges and quarrels were forgotten while businesses, courts and schools were closed. Wars were interrupted or postponed and slaves were served by their masters.

14

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

It was officially opened by Chris Bowden (BHRSL Sub-branch President) and attended by a number of returned servicemen and families.

The work was completed by Aileen Horton and Andy Rogers, who have been working every day for almost 11 months to create the new museum experience, with an enhanced layout for the multitude of exhibits on display.

Items in the museum have been donated by returned servicemen and families of returned servicemen to show-case Broken Hill’s involvement in wars over time.

All items are cataloged and displayed for viewing in the museum.

Entry to the museum is a gold coin donation and anyone is welcome to come take a look at this important aspect of the history of Broken Hill and its people.

The museum is open 9:30 to 3:00pm Tuesday and Thursday and 9:30 to 12noon Wednesday and Friday and is located at Roy Inwood House, 399 Argent Street, Broken Hill.

SANTA ARRIVING BY BOAT AT COPI HOLLOW

16

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

EACH YEAR SANTA GIVES EACH CHILD A PRESENT

christmas at copi hollow Broken hill speedboat club Excited children hear the ringing of Santa’s Bell from the banks of Copi Hollow and come running from all directions towards the shore to get their first glimpse of Santa, you see at Copi Hollow Santa comes by boat, which is the customary way for the Broken Hill Speedboat Club’s Christmas functions.

Santa then makes his way to the shore from the boat and has to take a flying leap off the boat to get there.

Everybody on the shore waits with bated breath to see if Santa will make it each year without getting wet and usually, much to Santa’s relief, he does!

After a little help getting up onto the bank Santa makes his way into the club house to take his special seat next to the fire place and Christmas tree which is always surrounded with presents. Christmas carols are played softly in the background and the club rooms glitter with Christmas decorations.

All the children re-take their seats to open their presents with excitement in their eyes. As is tradition for the Broken Hill Speedboat Club the women of the club are called upon to receive a gift of chocolates from Santa.

But it is not that easy to receive their gift, they first have to sit on Santa’s knee. I thought as you grew up you were supposed to have outgrown your fear of Santa but some were still too afraid to sit on Santa’s knee but all accepted the gift with a kind thank you.

Some of the men of the club (feeling a little left out) decided that they would be more than happy to sit on Santa’s knee if it meant getting a box of chocolates.

Unfortunately Santa’s job is then done and he has to leave to tend to his many other Christmas errands.

Santa’s bell once again rings out as Santa waves goodbye (promising to return on Christmas Eve when all the kiddies are tucked up in bed).

The excited children all seat themselves around Santa, some giving him an extra wide space, because not all the kiddies are convinced that the big jolly man in a red suit is not scary.

The kids all look up from their gifts to wave furiously to Santa to farewell him with anticipation of maybe catching a glimpse of him on Christmas Eve and excited about the thought of Christmas Day.

One by one the children’s names are called out to come and receive a present from Santa. Some of the children are happy to take their present, with a big smile and or a quick sit on Santa’s knee, while others take the gift at an arm’s length distance with as few words spoken as possible.

The children of the Broken Hill Speedboat Club are looking forward to the return of Santa to Copi Hollow this December and would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

ALESCO STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN CLASS

A FRESH APPROACH TO LEARNING ALESCO LEARNING CENTRE Alesco began in 2002 and since then has proven to be a successful model for many young people who are ready and willing to take control of their own learning and future. Alesco is partway between school and TAFE and has no political or religious affiliation.

Alesco is an education option designed for students who are not in traditional school and who may not be ready for TAFE.

THE LEGENDARY SANTA CLAUS THE MAN WITH MANY NAMES He is known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Old St Nick, or simply just Santa. So, who is Santa Claus?

normally contain a wish list of toys and assertions of good behaviour.

Around the world, Santa Claus is known as:

Santa Claus is a figure with legendary, mythical, historical and folkloric origins who is said to bring gifts to the homes of the good children on the night before Christmas, December 24.

According to a tradition which can be traced to the 1820s, Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, with a large number of magical elves, and nine (originally eight) flying reindeer.

Since the 20th century, in an idea popularised by the 1934 song “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town”, Santa Claus has been believed to make a list of children throughout the world, categorising them according to their behaviour (“naughty” or “nice”) and to deliver presents, including toys, and candy to all of the well-behaved children in the world, and sometimes coal to the naughty children, on the single night of Christmas Eve. He accomplishes this feat with the aid of the elves who make the toys in the workshop and the reindeer who pull his sleigh. The North Pole, which according to Canada Post lies within Canadian jurisdiction in postal code H0H 0H0 (a reference to “ho ho ho”, Santa’s notable saying).

Writing letters to Santa Claus has been a Christmas tradition for children for many years. These letters

Yamakarra Liza kennedy and the keewong mob Yamakarra! is built on the memories of Liza Kennedy (1902 – 1996). It celebrates a group of Aboriginal people whose country is between Cobar and Ivanhoe in far western NSW. Late establishment of the grazing industry in this dry area meant that Aunty Liza grew up with people who had been born before the invasion of their country.

This book was collectively written by the Western Heritage Group and has been 25 years in the making. Yamakarra! was launched on the 9th of November 2013.

For more information about this book contact Dennis Williams and Sue Hall on 08 8087 0170 or Karin Donaldson on 08 8091 5102.

The level of independence that the Keewong Mob enjoyed during her early years had long been impossible for most other Aboriginal people in south-eastern Australia. This makes Aunty Liza’s memories special.

The collaborative process of preparing this book becomes an integral part of the story as relations and friends reconnect with the ancestral country of Aunty Liza’s memories through a series of bush trips. Yamakarra! tells a wonderful story in words, pictures, colour, texture and feeling.

Many voices enter into conversations around the campfire and the reader is invited to share the history, values and ongoing sense of positive meaning in the lives of the Keewong Mob. Yamakarra! is a unique contribution to Aboriginal storytelling and a new way to examine history from a people’s perspective.

Father Danny meagher WILCANNIA-FORBES DIOCESES Tell us about yourself: My name is Father Danny Meagher. I am a priest of Sydney who is on loan serving the Wilcannia-Forbes Dioceses. I was born in West Wyalong, part of a farming family. However, I grew up in Sydney. Although I have always wanted to be a priest, I studied Economics Law and worked as a lawyer before joining the seminary. I have been a priest for the past 18 years.

I came out to Broken Hill in February of this year, as Cardinal Pell asked me to, since there was a shortage of priests. This was when there was the proposal to divide the Wilcannia-Forbes diocese. This proposal has since been quashed by the Vatican.

Where do you work and what do you do?

I serve within Broken Hill and other places in the Wilcannia-Forbes Diocese, like Wilcannia, Tibooburra, Menindee and Forbes. On a regular basis, usually once a month, I visit Wilcannia and Menindee. I have been to Tibooburra and will be going there again before Christmas.

Are there any events or exciting things happening in the future?

The most obvious is Christmas, which is the “most amazing event of the incarnation of God’s son” It is a time when joy fills all Christians. The story of Christmas is a nice story, where Mary and her husband were from out of town, looking for accommodation.

They were offered shelter in a stable where the baby was born in a manger. On Christmas Eve we have a children’s Mass at 6pm. This is an exciting night, with the acting out of the gospel and we provide lollies

BROKEN HILL SOLAR Solar Panel Installation Battery Backup Power Factor Correction Energy Efficient Lighting

to all the children. Then there is the midnight Mass.

Christmas Day there is an 8am and 10am Mass.

What are the highlights / challenges in what you do?

There are many highlights since I have been serving the Broken Hill area are, but one of them is when one Sunday the Philappinos choir was singing in Menindee and they were joined by the local aborigines, islanders and afghans. It was nice to see all cultures coming together in song. Afterwards, a local aboriginal got up and thanked everyone.

There are many challenges, but I see the great work that places like St Therese’s school in Wilcannia does. On December 13 I am going to Wilcannia for a Christmas mass, farewell to teachers and to perform some baptisms.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I am the only priest visiting Menindee and Tibooburra, but there is another priest who visits Wilcannia from Cobar.

However, they do hold communal services without me there. In Wilcannia there is a newsletter letting people know when I am visiting. And in Tibooburra, it is wordof-mouth.

One thing I have noticed about Broken Hill is that it is an aging community. The Catholic Church has recognised this as they have four nursing homes in town through the Southern Cross Care: Con Crowley village, Aruma Lodge, St Anne’s Nursing home and Harold Williams Home. They have the St Vincent De Paul Clothing Store and Bishop Fox Memorial Centre.

Chocolate can be poisionous to pets.

DON’t POISON YOUR PET looking after your furry friend Every moment matters if you think your pet has been exposed to something toxic. Call your vet. Post your veterinarian’s phone number in an obvious place. They can help you know what to do next.

Collect samples. Take samples of vomit, stool, and the poison your pet consumed to the vet with you. Watch for symptoms. Symptoms of poisoning in cats include breathing problems, Confusion, Coughing, Depression, Diarrhoea, Dilated pupils, Gastrointestinal irritation, Salivation, Seizures, Shivering, Skin irritation, Tremors, Vomiting, Weakness.

Human Medicines Never medicate your pet without first talking to your vet, as it is easy to give your pet a fatal overdose. Some of the poisons can include:

• • • • • • • • •

•

• • • •

•

Acetaminophen, which is found in Tylenol and other medications, can cause liver damage in dogs. Cats are even more sensitive: ingestion of a single 325 mg tablet by a 4.5kg cat can cause anaemia and even be fatal.

Cold medicines Diet pills Non-prescription medications, such as ibuprofen, can lead to severe ulcers and anaemia, as well as liver and kidney failure in pets.

Prescription medications such as antidepressants and ADHD and cardiac drugs are commonly ingested by pets when pills are dropped on the floor or left on counters. Even a small dose can cause problems.

Vitamins and other supplements

• • •

•

Avocado (all parts) - the toxic ingredient in avocado is called persin.

Alcohol, as this has the same effect on a dog and cat’s liver and brain as it does on humans.

Caffeine (coffee, soda, tea) Chocolate can cause seizures and death in dogs and cats. Darker chocolate, such as unsweetened baker’s chocolate, is more toxic than milk or white chocolate.

Dairy can cause digestive upset with diarrhoea in dogs and cats.

Fruit pips, the kernels of plums, peaches and apricots, apple core pips (contain cyanogenic glycosides resulting in cyanide poisoning) Garlic and chives Grapes, raisins and currants - even grape juice - in small amounts can cause kidney failure in dogs and cats.

Onions, garlic, leeks and chives (powdered, raw, cooked or dehydrated) can be toxic in dogs and cats.

When chewed or swallowed, these ingredients can cause anaemia and gastrointestinal upset.

Raisins and Currants Walnuts and macadamia nuts can cause lethargy, vomiting and difficulty walking in dogs.

Xylitol is a sugar-free sweetener commonly found in chewing gum, breath mints and toothpaste. In dogs, it can lead to dangerous drops in blood sugar and liver failure.

Unbaked bread dough can expand in the stomach.

If the stomach twists, cutting off the blood supply, emergency surgery is needed. The yeast in the dough can also produce alcohol, leading to seizures and respiratory failure.

Human Foods Many pets crave people food, but many foods can be poisonous to your pet, such as: FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS TRADITIONAL CHRSTMAS POEM ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds. While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads, and mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, and he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

“Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and

was turning around, down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, and he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! His dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly, that shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself! A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, and filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk, and laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”

aussie christmas summer christmas traditions in australia The heat of early summer in Australia has an impact on the way that Australians celebrate Christmas and on the ways in which northern hemisphere Christmas traditions are followed.

It has become traditional for international visitors who are in Sydney at Christmas time to go to Bondi Beach where up to 40,000 people visit on Christmas Day.

In the weeks leading up to Christmas houses are decorated, greetings cards sent out, and carols sung.

Christmas trees installed in homes, schools and public places; and children delight in anticipating a visit from Santa Claus. On Christmas Day, family and friends gather to exchange gifts and enjoy special Christmas food.

Many Australians spend Christmas out of doors, going to the beach for the day, or heading to camping grounds for a longer break over the Christmas holiday period.

Christmas in Australia comes at the beginning of summer and many people no longer serve a traditional hot roast dinner.

Cold turkey and ham, seafood and salads are often served instead. It has even become acceptable to serve the traditional Christmas plum pudding with cold custard, ice cream or cream.

Pavlova, a meringue base topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit; and various versions of the festive icecream pudding have also become popular Christmas desserts.

Business performance indiators Evaluate your business When we feel something is not quite right with ourselves, or we want to check our health, we visit a doctor and undertake a ‘check-up’. Often our business lives and the business we operate does not undergo the same evaluation to check its health and produce a future prognosis.

We also, when staff are involved, have KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators). These are a benchmark to demonstrate how a staff member is performing against prescribed outcomes, or actions linked to outputs. These KPI’s can also be established at a strategic level for an organisation to enable measurement of the organisation, probably on an annual basis.

Staff members also undergo an annual appraisal; with discussions about performance against outcomes (these can be referred to as metrics), KPI’s and value to the organisation and to establish objectives for the year ahead. The organisation itself should undergo the same review and planning process. This aids in strategic direction planning and also in KPI establishment for the upcoming year.

The issue that can occur is knowing how to give the organisation a ‘health check’. What should be the benchmark and how can it be measured?

Broken Hill Enterprise Development Centre can offer help with evaluation tools to aid understanding and to ask the questions of management regarding the organisation to achieve measureable answers. This is as applicable to a sole trader as to a large organisation; even a concept can be tested in this way.

Not-for-profit organisations have a special challenge, as they need to remain viable whilst also achieving community outcomes. This is sometimes a balancing act and can be difficult to evaluate as to achievement across all areas. The same process can be applied and measurable outcomes gained.

If this would be useful to your business please contact the EDC on 8087 9222 and we can undertake these evaluations at no cost to the business.

Enrolments are now being taken at Alesco Learning Centre for 2014 Applications have been submitted to the Board of Studies for Year 9 and Year 10 classes with a maximum of 30 students.

HuMAN RIGHTS DAY 10th DECEMBER 2013 The event is Human Rights Day and the main message is around Healing Our People with Empowerment (HOPE).

Her courage has allowed her to share her story and bring vital attention. Any women who would like to come and hear her story are invited to attend at Warra-Warra Legal Service on Argent Street at 6:30pm.

On the day there will be a display of Aboriginal human rights. It is also Red Rose Day with the roses representing any Aboriginal woman that may have been a survivor or have died at the hands of domestic violence.

What awareness do you want to raise from this event?

This day is a very important event and it would be lovely to see the community join together and support the message of being safe and making the right choices.

Hands with the HOPE message on them will be given out; sending the Healing Our People with Empowerment message, and also promoting the message that enough is enough. The event is focused on acknowledging and respecting Aboriginal women.

When is the Event?

10th December at the town square, from 10am till approximately 2:30 - 3pm.

What does the event involve (on the day)?

A young Aboriginal woman, Synitta Adams has written a song that she will sing on the day. She has just completed year 12 and has done Aboriginal studies and she wrote a song called Remember. She will be performing at the town square throughout the day. There will be some food, handing out the hands and red roses and some other goodies.

A guest speaker is coming out for the evening session who is a survivor of domestic violence (DV). Lani will tell her life story; she goes around to different communities and talks about her life story and about being a victim of and surviving domestic violence.

Fireworks and storms tips to keep your dog safe Hard to believe that it is that time of year already, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. That means that it is time to prepare your dog for the fireworks. The strategies discussed in this article can be used for any sound phobias, such as storm phobias. On New Year’s Eve, before you celebrate welcoming in the New Year, please remember to plan for your pet as many scared dogs go missing on this night of fireworks.

A scared dog can escape a back yard with secure fencing and even a secured home – last year a dog escaped when he was so scared he ran as fast as he could through the glass window.

Here are some ways to help settle a scared dog and also protect them from escaping: Crate training Firstly, crate training is fantastic for a range of things (anxiety, fear, toilet training, post-operations, etc) but it also works well for fireworks and storms. We use crates daily for a place for the dogs to relax in. The crate has to be a place of safety and comfort in order to work well for fireworks.

Cover the crate so it is nice and dark in there - the flashes of light are not as bright. For a better understanding of crate training (to see what it is), here is a link to a fantastic clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=trXfoIQSEvI by Dr Ian Dunbar.

Thundershirt Oh how I wish I had found these earlier in my dog’s life! They are wonderful and work to varying degrees for different dogs. For some dogs, they just instantly lie down and go to sleep during storms and fireworks. The specifically designed dog coat works by gently ‘hugging’ your dog (or cat) using constant pressure, similar to how wrapping or swaddling helps to settle a human baby.

Thundershirts have a calming effect on the nervous system for anxious, fearful or overexcited dogs. Using pressure to relieve anxiety in people and animals has been a common practice for years. The Thundershirt also works well for vet visits to relieve your anxious dog.

Through a Dog’s Ear CDs They are the only clinically tested and researched CDs for dogs. They are used in many shelters and help dogs settle and reduce anxiety. I first used them about 5 years ago and was amazed at how great they work.

BY Jenni Baker

and/or rearranged to gradually reduce the heart rate by progressively slowing rhythms and simplifying the audio data – a solo piano. In fact, it works to calm and settle children too – might need this one for the big family Christmas gatherings. You have the option to buy an audio CD or to download the CDs online.

There are a few CDs so that you don’t have to get sick of one. There is now also training CDs for storms and fireworks - this is more for long term training and you would use them when there are no fireworks or storms present - they are designed to help your dog not be scared of the noises.

Chews Things like pigs ears, Kongs and other chew toys will help your dog relieve their stress and anxiety, as chewing is a stress reliever. So once your dog is calmed enough to eat (a stressed dog won’t eat, so you have to calm them first by doing the things above), then you can give them yummy chewy items that will help them de-stress, and hopefully tire them out to sleep. It also helps them reassociate yummy chewy treats with the scary fireworks so that the noises become something good.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------During the fireworks utilising the above methods will help but don’t forget to continue to train, give treats at the loud bangs to re-associate the scary noises with yummy tasty treats. I sit by my dog during any storm or fireworks and use the event as a training opportunity, but only after she has progressed through the steps above.

I give treats during the bangs and she gets nothing in the silence. She looks to me now in the bangs rather than barking excessively. It is a long process but it is worth it.

You can also utilise clicker training during these fireworks.

Dogs can be predisposed to the fear due to their DNA, while others develop fears after puppyhood if they don’t have enough socialisation during the crucial 8-16 weeks of their lives. Either way, there are plenty of things that you can do to help a dog that is scared of fireworks.

Don’t assume your dog will be fine, every New Year’s Eve. I find dogs running on the road and save them from being hit by cars, and every time the dog’s owners are relieved to have their dog returned to them but they are shocked that their dog was scared or that they got out from their 6 foot high fence.

My dog actually slept during a storm, at the time this was a first for her! The individual pieces have been selected

the month of december

The bishop fox meal centre

The month of December is filled with expectation and celebration. Preparation is the key word for the first 24 days of December. Everyone is getting ready for Christmas — shopping and decorating, baking and cleaning.

It is a place in Argent Street, which has been serving up much needed nourishment and companionship to those people in the community who need it most for 40 years. It is run by volunteers who have served 800 meals a month for the past 40 years.

December was originally the tenth month of the year in the Roman calendar until a monthless winter period was divided between January and February. It gets its name from the Latin word “decem” which means tenth.

The centre aims to provide a welcoming atmosphere and facilitate connections between people in the community, over a hot meal. Anyone over 18 years can make use of the meal centre. They especially welcome people who may not be able to afford a meal and people who are experiencing homelessness, although everyone is welcome. A meal costs $2.

However, when the Romans added January and February to the calendar, it became the twelfth month. The name remained the same however.

Facts about December: • Its birth flower is the holly or poinsettia.

• Its birthstone is the blue turquoise or zircon, and the recently added tanzanite.

• Its Zodiac signs are Sagittarius (until December 21) and Capricorn (December 22 onwards)

The centre serves meals from 9:30am to 12:30pm Monday to Friday for 50 weeks of the year.

The centre is always looking for volunteers. If you are interested, you can contact Pat Leonard on 8087 6809 to find out more.

The Bishop Fox Meal Centre is named after the late Bishop Thomas Martin Fox, who was Bishop of Wilcannia-Forbes (1931–67).
