FROM THE FOR REAL TEAM Spring! The weather has certainly been warming up of late. No-one can deny that feeling in the air that has, over the years, turned the Silver City Show into its own weather classification system. As we continue to experience ‘Show weather’ in the Hill, we can look forward to enjoying the first month of Spring and everything that our City has to offer for the beginning of the Season.

We also got to meet some amazing new people this month. For this issue we interviewed Therese Manns (our new General Manager) and Fran Savage (the new Manager of the Musicians Club). It is interesting to discover the many paths that people take throughout their lives- and these two happened to follow a path that has brought them to Broken Hill. We welcome them and hope they continue enjoying their experience here.

Spring appropriately begins with a celebration of Fathers, with Fathers Day being held on September 1st this year.

Its a great time to give thanks to those who have helped to raise us, and shape us into the people we are. So don’t forget to spoil your Dad (or those who have served the role of ‘Dad’ in your life). We wouldn’t be here without them!

In this edition you can also read about scrumptious menu items at Temptations, the Paver Fundraiser being conducted by Rainbow Preschool and amazing stories and fitness tips from some of our local gyms. So go on... get reading!

September is going to be a busy month in Broken Hill.

There are Exhibitions, Rallies, a Motorcycle Show, the Silver City Show, the Outback Princess Pageant, Legacy Badge Day, AFL Grand Final, Bankstown Sporting Exchange and the Pony Club Funday to name a few events. It is exciting to see that in a City that most people feel is small, there is a club, business or organisation that has organised an event to cover every weekend in the month. On some weekends there are several events!

It is nice to see such a variety...nice to know that no matter who you are and what you are interested in, you will be able to find an event that you will enjoy!

If the rate this year is passing us by is anything to go by, then September will be over in a flash! If you have any submissions for the October edition of FOR REAL please contact editor@brandcreative.com.au or phone 08 8427 1301 and let us know.

And don’t forget to like our facebook page-FOR REAL MAGAZINE- to keep up to date with local information, stories and competitions.

Let’s get out in the Community this month and help support the organisations and volunteers that have spent time creating the events for us to attend. Broken Hill can be as amazing as we want it to be... so embrace it and enjoy!

FESTIVAL Of Respect

An All-Round Entertainer Award winning performer, radio announcer and comedian - Carter Edwards - will be visiting Broken Hill and performing live at the Broken Hill Musicians Club on Wednesday 18th September.

Do you know of any up-coming events?

Send event information to: editor@brandcreative.com.au Submissions for OCTOBER Edition of FOR REAL Magazine are now being accepted. Submissions must be made before SEPTEMBER 18TH.

Years ago Carter decided that he didn’t want to be “just another singer of songs”. Instead, Carter manages to hold his audiences spellbound with a somewhat raucous and typically Australian humour that involves the audience all the way. He couples this with songs, funny stories, then he adds any of the highly entertaining and original gimmicks he’s created over the years! But the mainstay of Carters onstage magic is his ability to entertain and have fun with an audience, just to “make ‘em feel good!”

So come along and enjoy an afternoon and evening of entertainment. Carter will be performing two shows, the first at 1.00pm and second at 6.00pm.

Tickets available at Musicians Club reception for $15.

Also tune in to 567 2BH to hear Carter Edwards on Saturday and Sunday Nights after the AFL on 2BH.

IT’s SHOWTIME IN BROKEN HILL! 2013 SILVER CITY SHOW The Silver City Show will return to Memorial Oval this September. Once again the Oval will come alive with rides, sideshows, equestrian events, dog jumping, school displays, fireworks and much more. No matter what you are in to, you will find something to keep you entertained.

The Show will run from September 12th-14th this year, under the theme “Our Mining History”. President of the Show Committee, Patricia Borlace, said the committee and volunteers have been working together since the last Show to ensure that 2013 is going to be bigger and better. “We try our very best from Show to Show, and year to year...It is endless work for the committee, as there is plenty to arrange behind the scenes” said Patricia. “We just hope that everyone will enjoy the 2013 Show, and all have a great weekend”.

As well as the usual attractions, this years show will see a display of memorabilia from days gone by that some generous people have donated or loaned for the event. If anyone has anything to add to this display please call the Show office to make arrangements.

2013 will also see the addition of a BAKE OFF section for adults, including entries for scones, muffins and boiled fruit cake with an overall champion selected to receive a $50 voucher thanks to Bakers Delight.

The animal nursery and Snakes Alive reptile display will again be a huge hit with the local kids...don’t miss out

on seeing those. The fireworks are predicted to be the crowd favourite on both the Friday and Saturday nights at around 9 pm. Kids are again encouraged to enter the Show colouring in competition- copies of the colour-in are available from the Secretary’s office.

Reading through the Show schedule it is amazing to see the number and diversity of sections that can be entered.

There are sections for painting, sketching, photography, scrapbooking, needlecraft, cake decorating, plates of fruit and veg, leatherwork, woodwork, models, ceramics, jams and preserves, quilting...even flower pot decorating and the best decorated pet rock!

“The entries are supplied by talented people in our community and schools that like to exhibit some of their hobbies for the rest of the community to enjoy at Show time” Patricia says. It would be impossible to flick through and not find a section you could enter. The entries close on various dates and times so it is probably best to grab a schedule and check it out for yourself. We challenge Broken Hillians to find a section to enter to help show your support and make the 2013 Show the best yet.

The Show committee are looking for volunteers to help with setting up between the 9th and 12th of September.

Please call the Show office if you can volunteer some time to help out. “There are plenty of jobs that need our attention”, says Patricia. “Let me take this opportunity to thank everyone who is contributing to making the Silver City Show one that everyone will remember”.

MERYL ROGERS, BROKEN HILL FRINGE 16

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

FRINGE FESTIVAL PREPARATIONS Broken Hill Fringe - 17th to 27th October Fringe festivals have been around for a very long time.

The oldest fringe festival is the Edinburgh fringe which was started in 1948. They have more than 750 shows each fringe! Meryl Rogers has undertaken the task of coordinating the production of the first Broken Hill Fringe.

“The idea of a Broken Hill Fringe came from my background as the General Manager of the Sydney Fringe and thinking about what sort of festival we could do with a minimalist budget! “ says Meryl. “In a fringe-type event we can include anyone who has something to offer without taking a financial risk on it ourselves. This year we have only been able to curate a part of it but as the event grows we will be able to develop and present more events ourselves.”

“Of course it doesn’t matter how good the event is if noone knows it is happening so we have been very fortunate in forming a partnership with 2BH and Hill FM who are getting behind this event in a big way. It does make a huge difference when you can garner this type of support from your community and our heartfelt thanks go to them for that.”

“We are also very grateful to Regional Development Australia, the Broken Hill Community Foundation and Stefano de Pieri and many others organisations and individuals such as the Broken Hill Tourist Park, ABC Open, Patton Village, Brand Creative, Broken Hill Productions, Essential Energy, David and Margaret Trinder and Emma Stenhouse who have provided cash, empty shops, accommodation and advice and to the many contributors to our film festival who have provided films for free.”

“We won’t of course forget the members of the community who have donated old couches and other bits and pieces for our On The Fringe pop up bar and last but not least our artists without whom nothing would have been possible!”

The Broken Hill Fringe has events scheduled between 17th to 27th October and will run over a number of venues across Broken Hill. There will be a Tribute to Priscilla and dinner at the Broken Hill Golf & Country Club, theatre and film at Theatre 44, Community Stories at Bells, music cabaret and two up at the Palace, more music events at the West Darling Hotel, the Theatre Royal and the Alma Hotel.

Also, the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery will host food, film and visual arts events; Sturt Club will have Stefano de Pieri at the stove; there will be family events in Patton Park and the Silverton Hotel. More visual arts events at the Town Hall Facade, Tafe and Charles Rasp Library and at the pop up creative arts precinct in empty shops in Oxide st. The South Library and Community Centre will get in on the act hosting one of the Tales from the Line of Lode.

Browzers, Bells, the Crib Tin and the Commonwealth Bank will provide venues for our children’s artwork event with a reading corner in Browzers.

There will be all sorts of activities in celebration of the Aero Club and RFDS Anniversaries. The Menindee Cultural Dance Group will perform in the Town Square followed by a children’s art workshop. There will be ten days of not-to-be-missed entertainment including film, poetry, and music at On The Fringe.

While there is only one Sydney Fringe artist performing in Broken Hill this year there have already been discussions - particularly in relation to comedy events - for next year. Broken Hill’s talent is also encouraged to register to perform at the next Sydney Fringe.

For more information visit www.brokenhillfringe.com or facebook.com/ BrokenHillFringe. A program will be available mid September and listen to 567 2BH for interviews with artists and a variety of other information.

JO KELLS OF THE BROKEN HILL QUILTERS CLUB 18

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

QUILTERS TALENTS DISPLAYED QUILTERS CLUB BI-ANNUAL EXHIBITION The Bi-annual Quilters Club Exhibition will take place on the weekend of September 28th-30th at the Trades Hall, with an array of interesting items on display.

The Silver City Quilters Club has recently celebrated its 25th Birthday. There are currently about 60 members involved with the club. Most of the members live in Broken Hill, however some are from outlying properties and some are ex-locals who have ‘moved away’ but still remained members.

The club has made a big difference over the years, by hand making quilts and donating them to various charities around the city. They have donated quilts to various organisations to raffle to raise funds, and have also given quilts to nursing homes and the Catherine Haven Women’s Shelter. Recently, the club made and donated around 28 “Little Quilts of Love” to the local Hospital.

Visitors at the Exhibition will get a chance to have their say and vote for their favourite quilt, and prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the Viewers Choice category.

There will be a workstall with lots of hand-made items for sale, and Lesley Mays will be the shop for the Exhibition.

They will have fabric and patterns available and will be demonstrating the ‘Sweet Sixteen’ quilting machine.

Lesley will be travelling from Mildura to take part in this event.

Also on display will be the entries in the Club Challenge category- where members were asked to make a small wire hanging on a subject starting with the letter ‘C’. The Club Challenge will be judged by Leesa Siegele from the Quilters Guild of South Australia.

Over the years, the members of the club have become more than just members. They have formed friendships that have been a result of their common love of quilting.

The members of the club meet every Saturday afternoon to sew and chat, share ideas and help each other.

This exhibition is also the occasion of the launch of a book organised by Publicity Officer, Iris Dobbin. About 25 members from the local club have submitted a quilt or other item to be published in the book. They have also written stories to accompany their entries. This is a pre-ordered book but there will be a few spare copies for members of the public to buy if they wish.

The members extend their passion for quilting beyond these once-a-week sessions. Sometimes they have workshops to learn new skills or to try sewing new patterns, and they recently ventured out of town to Silverton for a weekend of sewing, eating and social fun.

The Exhibition at the Trades Hall will be open from 9:30 am until 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday, and from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm on Monday. Entry is $3 and includes a ticket in the lucky door prize. Morning and afternoon tea, as well as light luncheon items, will be on sale.

It is estimated that there will be over 100 items on display at the Exhibition in September, including a number of quilts as well as various craft items.

The Silver City Quilters Club are always welcoming new members. If you have any questions or would like to join the Club, pop along to the exhibition and speak to one of the members.

BROKEN HILL TO HOST EXCHANGE 2013 BANKSTOWN SPORTING EXCHANGE The annual sporting exchange between Bankstown and Broken Hill is now in its 27th year, and this year is Broken Hill’s turn to host the event.

It all began through an artist exchange when Bankstown hosted an exhibition of the Brushmen of the Bush. After this exhibition Broken Hill City Council looked at ways to involve the community in an ongoing exchange, and sport was the chosen vehicle. It’s been so successful that not a single year of sporting exchange has been missed since the sister city relationship was first signed in 1986.

Each year over 250 participants from both cities have been involved. This is the largest single Sister City exchange in Australia. With the proposed introduction of soccer next year, the exchange looks like it has a strong future ahead.

This year Broken Hill plays host and the program will run from the 21st to 27th September, involving players from netball and cricket competing in friendly games on various sporting fields across the city. There’s a number of events planned including a welcome breakfast on 21st September, when the buses arrive from Bankstown.

20

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

A fun day has also been planned for participants and includes a visit to Daydream Mine and activities at the Broken Hill Regional Aquatic Centre. A farewell function for the Bankstown visitors will be held on the final evening catered by the Rotary Club of Broken Hill.

The sporting clubs always have a few interesting surprises for the participants up their sleeves. Last year it was forming an honour guard for the Tasmania V NSW Sheffield Shield Cricket teams at Memorial Oval in Bankstown and a visit from NSW Swifts player Sam May for the netball group. The highlight of the exchange will be the new friendships made and the old ones renewed.

The entire event takes a well orchestrated effort by youth from both Bankstown and Broken Hill, Volunteer Coordinators from the Broken Hill Netball Association, The Broken Hill Junior Cricket Association, The Revsby Workers Club in Bankstown, staff from both Councils.

Talk to your local club about getting involved. New Coordinators are needed to drive the exchange into the future and the organisers are keen to have as many sports onboard as possible for the many years to come.

NAMES GOING DOWN IN HISTORY RAINBOW PRESCHOOL PAVER FUNDRAISER Rainbow Preschool are offering members of the public a chance to have your name become a permanent part of the historical school grounds.

Rainbow Preschool opened in Broken Hill in April, 1948.

Originally known as the Zinc Kindergarten, the school has operated from its current site for the past 65 years. It was purpose built for the Zinc Mine and was open to children of Zinc Mine employees under the directorship of Mrs. Marion Henry. The school underwent a name change in 1983 when they became a community based, not for profit preschool that could offer enrollments to any child in Broken Hill.

There are currently 170 students enrolled at Rainbow. The school also has 2 mobile Preschools- one at North Public School and one at Railwaytown Public School. Between the tree services, Rainbow employs 22 staff who teach over 200 students. This is a massive increase on the 60 students that Rainbow started with.

We caught up with Megan Fillery, President of the Management Committee, to find out a bit more about the school and it’s current fundraising effort. There have been three generations of Fillery’s through Rainbow’s doorsstarting with Megan’s Father-in-law who was one of the first children through the gates when the school opened.

Megan also attended the school, and so have her children.

“It is hard to pinpoint what it is about Rainbow that people love so much. We have amazing staff and the kids love it out here. I am sure there would be many who would agree with me saying that it is a really special place”.

The building itself has hardly changed at all over the last 65 years. Past students reminisce with stories about the large pine tree on the grounds and the indoor slide in one of the classrooms...these were original features of the

school that are still there today. There have been some additions over the years, including a recently established raised garden area, complete with a fish pond and bridge.

The school is currently running an Engraved Paver Fundraiser to cover the costs of paving around the new area. They are offering anyone in the community the chance to purchase an engraved paver to be laid on the grounds- you don’t have to be a past student to be a part of the history that is being created!

Megan says they have had a great response to the Fundraiser so far. “I placed some information on Facebook and we got the most interest from the Growing Up in Broken Hill page. We have had many people reminiscing about their time here and many have ordered a paver or two”.

“We are asking anyone who may know someone that has attended in the last 65 years to let them know about the pavers, and maybe we can generate even more interest”.

Order forms can be obtained from the school via email or post, and various payment methods can be arranged.

Orders will stay open until the end of September, with the pavers hopefully being laid over the Christmas holidays.

There will also be an unveiling/open day in the New Year so people can go and have a look at their pavers in person.

The school is also currently looking for anyone who has any old photos or information about the history of Rainbow Preschool as they are thinking of creating a memory book for the school full of photos and anecdotes. If you are keen to be involved in the paver fundraiser, or can help with old photos please contact the school office on (08) 80872122 or email rainbowpreschool@bigpond.com.

THERESE MANNS, GENERAL MANAGER, BROKEN HILL CITY COUNCIL 24

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

THE NEW FACE OF THE COUNCIL THERESE MANNS: OUR NEW GENERAL MANAGER Where have you been living prior to your move to Broken Hill?

in an ever changing world despite - or even perhaps because of - its isolation.

Before moving to Broken Hill we lived in Young, which is located in the Hilltops Region of Southern New South Wales. We were in Young for almost seven years where I was the General Manager of nearby Boorowa Council.

An enormous benefit of that location was to be close to family while our children were only babies and it has been great for them to develop a really beautiful relationship with their grandparents so early in their lives.

Broken Hill City Council has faced many challenges during its long-term and more recent history and it will certainly continue to face many more in the future. I wouldn’t have considered the position if I didn’t see a great opportunity for this City to survive and even thrive.

I love a challenge and believe that I can add value to Broken Hill.

What have been some of your past job experiences?

I commenced my career in Dubbo auditing local government, travelling to places like Wilcannia and Cobar.

Having grown up with Local Government (my father was also a General Manager), I guess it was just part of my make up to have a passion for community leadership and an understanding of the satisfaction that you feel when you make a positive difference within the community in which you live. Given the passion, I truly jumped at the first chance I had to join a local Council, starting out as a finance manager in Leeton.

I have now worked for a number of Councils as well as moving back into the private business world for a few years prior to my last role as General Manager at Boorowa. All of my work experiences over the years have contributed to my development and leadership style, but the private business practice re-energised me so some degree and really taught me to look outside the box - to be innovative wherever possible and to be ready for opportunities.

My most recent position as General Manager of Boorowa Council was extremely rewarding and my time there really demonstrated to me the challenges that can be met and benefits that can be achieved when Council and the community work together.

What influenced your decision to accept the position here?

Broken Hill is more than an outback town; it is a legend in many regards.

In considering the position, I talked to many respected colleagues who have worked in and around local government for a long time, some of them having even worked in Broken Hill at some time during their career.

They all talked of an iconic City with a reputation of strength. They recounted fond memories of its diverse community and the spirit that has ensured its resilience

With a new Council elected just last September, I have the opportunity to work with the Mayor and Councillors to embrace emerging opportunities and face our current issues. I get to be part of a great community who all have the best interests of Broken Hill at heart and I’m confident that if we all work together the City will flourish.

What makes living in a Regional area unique?

I have lived in many regional areas, including Coonamble, Dubbo, Leeton, Condobolin and Young. It’s the people that make living in regional areas unique - the sense of pride people have for where they live. We are not able to rely on the same level of social infrastructure and planned entertainment or events that those in the cities have and so we create much of our own fun. In doing so, as a community we become more connected, we have a sense of belonging and we look out for each other. As a parent, raising children in a regional area enables me to provide them with what in today’s world is probably unique – a little freedom - and to me that’s a gift.

How long have you been in Broken Hill? Have you enjoyed being here so far?

We have now been in Broken Hill nearly four weeks. The family absolutely loves Broken Hill. Moving the children away from their family and friends was certainly a difficult decision; however, after two days here there were no regrets. We have met so many wonderful people who have really made us feel welcome. The smiles on the kids faces have really widened, they are so excited with Broken Hill and what it has to offer them. Every time we go out together we find something else that surprises us and takes our interest. The kids are thrilled with their school; they have joined in sports teams and made so many friends in such a short time. To them Broken Hill is the best place in the world!

What appeals to you about Broken Hill?

You get a sense of community when you walk around Broken Hill, the pride people feel for their City is evident

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

25

when you talk to them. It’s an active, creative and diverse community. People are so inclusive, involved and willing to share their strengths with others - whether it’s sharing the history of the City with newcomers or visitors; being the local sports coach; teaching art and craft classes; sewing lessons in the fabric shop; or spending time with university students who have arrived in the City as part of their studies. These are just some of the examples I have witnessed in the past four weeks and if that’s just a preview, then the ‘Silver City’ is pure gold!!

The history of the place has really captivated me too and my interest has been sparked further through talking to people in the community who have so many amazing stories to tell, It’s important to understand where a place has come from in order to work with community on where it is heading so I really hope to continue some of those conversations.

What are your aims or what do you hope to accomplish in your role here?

Where do you see the future of Broken Hill?

Broken Hill has a vibrant and prosperous future. There are so many opportunities out there or our City to be sustainable and there are many great people already working towards strategies to ensure this outcome. Our reliance on mining does need further balance and this will require continued growth in other industries like community services, tourism and renewable energy.

Improvements in technology have resulted in towns and cities no longer operating in a local market, it is global, and we need to secure better technology to be competitive. Socially, I see Broken Hill and its people retaining its character and system of values, and in an ever changing world, this will be its key strength.

Ultimately, the future is what we make it. We are working towards it every day and one of the most important things for us to do is to believe in it and to be confident in our City is to ensure its prosperity.

I would like to develop a strong collaborative relationship with Council and the community. I want to assist them in meeting their long term strategic goals and in doing so ensuring the community’s vision for the future is achieved.

I would like to improve the financial position of Council.

Whether we like it or not, our finances affect nearly everything we do.

The Council budget is no different to a household budget, we have to make the most from the income we receive and we have to be realistic about what we can afford - some things we can’t live without, others we can and we just have to prioritise our wish list. Some of the best budget people I know are those with limited incomes, those that don’t take things for granted and work on getting the best bang for their buck!

There will be change from an organisational perspective and I hope to lead the staff of Council through this period with the aim of delivering efficient and affordable services to our community, ensuring sustainable services into the future.

PHARMACIST ALEX PAGE FROM OUTBACK PHARMACIES CONDUCTS A HOME MEDICAL REVIEW WITH A CLIENT

HOME MEDICAL REVIEWS MAARI MA ABORIGINAL HEALTH CORPORATION Research suggests that 140,000 hospital admissions occur each year from medication related problems and that 70% of these could be prevented by having a Home Medical Review (HMR) regularly conducted.

A ‘Home Medical Review’ (HMR) is a government funded program designed to enhance the quality use of medications and reduce the number of adverse medicines events for all Australians.

A HMR involves an accredited pharmacist visiting a patient in their home and conducting a comprehensive medication review to help identify and address any potential medication issues. The pharmacist will also help educate the patient about their medications including how best to use and store each of their medicines.

The pharmacists will then communicate their findings to the doctor and they will work together to achieve the best possible health outcomes for their patient.

At Maari Ma, the HMR involves a pharmacist and an Aboriginal Health worker visiting the client in their home.

The idea is to conduct a HMR every year as part of a client’s cycle of care.

A HMR is a great tool to help individuals learn and understand more about the medications they are prescribed, and ensure the medications are being used safely and appropriately. It also helps to facilitate communication between doctors, pharmacists and other health care professionals, all within the interests of the patients health and well-being.

To be eligible for a HMR, your doctor must review and assess your situation and determine that a HMR is necessary to ensure quality use of medicines or to address your medication needs.

Maari Ma GPs consider HMR when prescribing to patients with more than 5 medications or a recent significant change in medication.

HMRs should also be considered in conjunction with ATSI Health Checks (conducted each year as part of a client’s cycle of care) and GP Management Plans for chronic diseases.

Maari Ma works closely with Pharmacist, Alex Page from Outback Pharmacies who conducts HMRs in Broken Hill and Wilcannia.

FRAN SAVAGE, GENERAL MANAGER, BROKEN HILL MUSICIANS CLUB 28

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

NEW MANAGEMENT AT THE MUSOS FRAN SAVAGE, BROKEN HILL MUSICIAN’S CLUB Having spent most of her life on the NSW coast in Sydney and Port Macquarie, Fran Savage - the new General Manager at the Broken Hill Musicians Club - decided a move to Broken Hill was an opportunity not to be missed.

Fran made the move to Broken Hill just over two months ago and is already feeling at home having met some amazing people in the City.

“Although a challenge, I am loving my new role as the General Manager of the Musicians Club.” says Fran.

“Even in my short time I’ve had some favourable moments, including seeing the staff working together for a common goal”. Fran has been particularly impressed with how they work with such a sense of pride, and with big smiles on their faces. Fran also commented on how great it is to see new strategies bringing successful results.

The role of General Manager required a broad skill set in business, rather than a specialist, and Fran is certainly equipped with the knowledge and expertise to tackle this role. Her career history has included contract work in business coaching and also running her own businesses.

After completing her schooling in Sydney, Fran trained and worked in Pathology laboratories as a Hospital Scientist. Following this job, she began a direct sales business, where she realised she had some relevant skills and built/managed a team of sales consultants.

With this unique perspective and strong business coaching experience, Fran intends on building and strengthening the Clubs foundations in order to captialise on opportunities for growth and sustainability.

“Shortly, a brand new cocktail bar is to be launched, different styles of entertainment to be introduced, along with some exciting gaming promotions over the next few weeks with lots of giveaways. Many more opportunities are in the planning stages and are yet to be formalised and implemented.”

Future plans for the Musicians Club include an expansion of services with a wider appeal, new menus, new business opportunities, highlighting of the club’s roots as musicians and a strengthening of foundations from which to launch to newer and greater heights. “I see the club as a premier destination in Broken Hill for members and visitors alike”.

“Right now I have a big task and expect to be here for the duration of this project. My five sons are all adults now and I love to see them and their families when I can and while I’ll retire sometime in the future, I’m a long way off that and expect to be here for a long time (and would love to be too).”

“Thanks to all for the welcome and look forward to being a part of this community with you.”

Fran has also owned retail and commercial businesses and has business coaching qualifications to add to her extensive list of areas of expertise. She hopes to bring all of this experience to her new position at the Musicians Club to help make some positive changes.

MENTORING MATTERS BENEFITS OF FINDING A MENTOR

BY JIM RICHARDS

My first article in For Real Magazine contains a tip that isn’t too complicated, and will be useful for a wide range of young people. I’m confident you’ll get something out of it even if you aren’t a young person.

No matter what your goals are, excelling in sport, getting the best school marks, landing the dream job, being signed to a record label or even sponsorship with a scooter company - One thing’s for certain: someone has done it or something close enough to it, to have some valuable advice they have learned along the way.

A mentor can be someone who has achieved a goal similar to yours, and is willing to help you along the path.

Mentors have a number of functions, including passing along skills, introducing you to new contacts, giving you feedback on your progress, and being there to encourage you.

The benefit of having a mentor is that you can learn from their mistakes, and replicate their success. A good mentor will be your ‘buddy’ when it comes to achieving your goal. However they can’t get it done for you - only help you along the way. Think about Yoda from Star Wars, he couldn’t fight Darth Vader, but he did help get Luke Skywalker ready for it.

So how do you find a mentor? Start by being clear about what your goal is. Write it down. Then find out who else has done it, or something similar to it. Make a list of people that might fit the role, these are your potential mentors.

If you can’t find anyone who has the skills you are looking for in a mentor - or no one is willing to mentor you, then don’t stress! This does not have to be face to face, or even directly. Think about what books you could find, what YouTube videos, or podcasts you can get on your topic of interest. I guarantee there is content out there on everything from learning how to knit, to improving your Magic: The Gathering game.

Mentoring has made a huge difference to me; it’s like stepping into the fast lane. If you are willing to let someone wiser speak into your life, then it can make a massive difference to you.

What are your goals? And who are the mentors who can help you reach them? I’d love to get your feedback.

Please email me at jimrichardsbh@gmail.com with your responses, questions and suggestions for future articles.

NEW LEGAL RESOURCE LAUNCHED FAR WEST COMMUNITY LEGAL CENTRE Staff at the Far West Community Legal Centre in Broken Hill have been busy working on a new legal resource - titled ‘Ripped Off?’ - that will assist everyday people to learn about how to recover unpaid employee entitlements.

It was the brain child of a joint project between Far West Community Legal Centre and Legal Aid NSW. It came out of the identified need to give information in a straightforward practical way about these common legal issues that arise in employment law.

When it comes to employee entitlements, the most common problems people face are:

“We hope that the resource is useful for every employee who is under the Federal employment law system – which is anyone employed by any organisation other than the NSW State Government or a Local Council in NSW.” says Mariette Curcuruto, Principal Solicitor at Far West Community Legal Centre. “We have tried to make it accessible, practicable and sensible. So far the feedback has been brilliant. It is something that every employee should read because it is employment law 101 for the everyday person. You might be surprised how relevant the information is to you.”

• • • • • •

Underpayment of wages; Confusion about what their employment contract means, or where to find the terms of their contract; Confusion about what type of employee they are – particularly the difference between part time and casual employees; Uncertainty about what type of rights they have as an employee (especially around leave); Finding that their superannuation entitlements have not been paid; An employer goes bankrupt or into liquidation, and the employee finds that no one is left to pay holiday or wage entitlements to them.

Ripped Off? helps with those types of problems. It also gives information about National Employment Standards – the standards that every employee under the Federal system is entitled to. And it covers things like the difference between employees vs. contractors vs. volunteers.

It gives practical advice about how to approach problems with employee entitlements and how to start the process of making a claim in Court or via the Fair Work Ombudsman to recover entitlements.

Team members from the Far West Community Legal Centre traveled to Sydney for the official launch of the new resource, and a Broken Hill launch is scheduled for 6th September from 10.00am to 11.00am at the Trades Hall.

Where can I get a copy?

To obtain a copy of ‘Ripped Off?’ you can visit the FWCLC office in the Broken Hill Town Square or visit Legal Aid NSW’s website to order a copy. www.legalaid.nsw.gov.au

FITNESS TIPS FOR BEGINNERS TEMPLE OF FITNESS Hi! I’m Luke from the Temple of Fitness. I have been in the fitness industry for over 10 years now and have come across a variety of clients at various fitness levelsfrom the complete beginner to the conditioned fighter.

One thing we all have in common is that we were all once beginners. And we all had the same questions in mind when we started. Here are a few FAQ’s that I believe will be of the most benefit to anyone looking to start a regular fitness routine.

How often should I train?

The advantage of being a beginner is that regardless of how often you train making that first step is the hardest but will also be the most rewarding.

I like to recommend at least twice a week for the beginner, with at least a day’s rest between training sessions. At this stage on your journey to fitness a good goal to have in mind is to develop a consistent habit.

In the long run training twice a week consistently will far outweigh the benefits of training every day for a week and being far too sore and run down to continue the following week.

In the beginning taking the time to build a solid foundation is the most important as we want our results to last. If our foundation crumbles so do our results we’ve built upon it.

Do I need personal training?

I recommend everyone who has not set foot in the gym before or has had a substantial break take at least the initial start-up session with a personal trainer. It’s

BY LUKE McCARRON

important to start off on the right foot and ensure you begin your new program with some instruction on correct technique. This will aid in prevention of injury, goal setting, and familiarization with the equipment you will be using in the future.

You may have no idea what to do at all, in this case your personal trainer will be able to design a routine for you to follow to achieve your goals that you can re-assess at later date when both you and your training feel you are ready to advance.

There are many uses for a personal trainer. In the beginning they are of most benefit to help you set goals, design a program and instruct on correct technique. How long you will need a personal trainer will depend on how comfortable you are with the program you are following.

Some clients are happy to be out training alone after the first session other choose to have a personal trainer for extended periods.

The other option is Group Fitness Classes, there is a group fitness class to suit every one of every fitness level and they can be a great place to start when you’re unsure of what to do. The instructors are most happy to help you out and are available after class if you have any questions relating to the programs.

What supplements should I use?

I don’t like to recommend supplements to beginners. I believe that more important than supplementation is learning to eat the right way from the start. I recommend that anyone starting a new program contact our local dietitians and have a specific eating plan designed to suit you and to be adjusted from your current eating methods

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

37

at an acceptable rate. After that by all means there are many supplements out there that will benefit your results but only after an effective base nutrition level is obtained.

What sort of program should I follow?

In the beginning keep it simple, stick to the basics and keep a good balance across the board. Your personal trainer or gym instructor can help you with this and I recommend you use them in the initial planning of your routine. All good programs begin with good warm up preparing your body for the activity ahead. The activity’s planned should be well balanced and I prefer in the beginning to use a full body routine working the major muscles of the body, I like to begin with legs being that largest and most energy consuming muscles in the body, followed by Back, Chest, and then I like to work my core at the end of the routine after any lifting has been performed. I then like to use a nice low intensity cardio activity to loosen up followed by a full body stretch to lengthen the muscles and maintain a full range of motion.

Should I use machine or free weights?

In the beginning it is fine to use machine weights and even in the advanced stages machine weights still play there part in many routines.

We should however loose the training wheels so to speak as soon as we are ready. Why? There are many benefits we miss out on when using solely machine weights. Our stabilizers do not develop at the same rate as the rest of our muscles as the machines tend to isolate a specific

area this can lead to future injury due to imbalance in the muscles. This Isolation however is great when we are first starting out because it limits what we can and can’t do wrong and we get an idea of what muscles should be doing the work.

Once we are comfortable to move on we should see our instructor and look at our free weight replacements for our machine based exercises.

My friend had a program designed. Do you think it’s ok if I follow it as well? OR I found this program on the internet is it ok for me to use?

This is generally not something I recommend for the beginner as a lot of the programs you will find on the internet do not take into account your specific needs.

If you have any pre-existing conditions, injury’s, or any other factors specifically relating to you. Your friend’s routine may be fantastic and getting them great results, just keep in mind that the routine is designed for someone else. If you really like the look of a program have your instructor tailor the program to suit. If your trainer suggest that it’s not the program for you have faith in your trainer as they have your best interests in mind. Keep in mind the group fitness.

I hope some of this information has helped you to make your first step into improving your health and fitness. Or maybe there are some other questions you may have that you would like to ask.

COMMIT TO BE FIT AT YMCA A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE Suzie McClure, 55, had been battling with her weight and low mood for some time before she approached Kerry McDonald to be her personal trainer at YMCA Broken Hill.

not doing much to help themselves. Kerry McDonald, Centre Manager of YMCA Broken Hill, is encouraging people from the Broken Hill area to make a commitment to healthier living today.

“I’m a middle aged woman and I’ve been battling with my weight for years. I figured I needed someone to assist me in stepping out of my comfort zone,” she says. “When I saw Kerry train other women, I thought I’d like to be a part of that.”

“Summer is almost here and now is the time to get moving,” she said. “As a community, we need to work toward battling the bulge. It’s much easier to prevent weight gain than it is to achieve weight loss. By adopting healthier lifestyles today, we are giving ourselves happier, healthier futures.”

The training and support from staff at the Y has been very beneficial, both physically and psychologically. Since starting her personal training sessions at the Y during May this year, Suzie has noticed her mood has been elevated and can’t recall any moments since starting that she’s experienced a down moment.

Suzie has been doing things she never thought she would such as boxing as part of her sessions. “I feel so good I’m doing things I never thought I’d do in my life! During my first personal training session I boxed for the first time ever,” she says. “I just needed something different, and now I can’t get enough.”

“Kerry pushes me, she’s excellent,” she says. Her time at YMCA Broken Hill has also helped Suzie meet many new people and often runs into customers or people she knows at the centre.

“The Y has given me a new lease on life. The staff are all inclusive, the programs are wonderful and I cannot express just how much of a positive change training at the centre has had on me.”

Health and fitness at YMCA Broken Hill is much more than gym memberships, equipment and programs, it’s about achieving your goals with the full support of our friendly, qualified staff.

The centre offers a range of services to meet the needs of the community including personal training, indoor sports competitions, youth programs, mature age group sessions your local YMCA is the place to go.

There are over 20 group fitness classes every week, including Spin, Body Pump, Body Attack, Pilates and Body Balance just to name a few.

The Y creates a ‘third’ place for individuals and families to come together and participate in a range of programs that promote happier, healthier lives.

“We recognise that families come in all shapes and sizes and are the building blocks of the local community.

At the Y, we offer programs that the whole family can participate in, and through our Family Memberships we ensure family time is affordable for everyone.”

SILVERTONS STAR DONKEY SHORT FILM: DOLLAR THE DONKEY Recently, FR met up with Dom Blake, who was visiting Broken Hill. We discovered that Dom had been busy producing a short film. It caught our attention, so we asked Dom to tell us more about his project.

Silverton and the Mundi Mundi plains. Having some time to wander the country, Broken Hill and Silverton were top on my list. As a big fan of Australian films, I felt it was a necessary homage.

What can you tell us about yourself?

I started working in films at 15 years, then on to being a musician working in music, night clubs, mining, TV and production the last 14 years - 10 of which involved working at the Sydney Opera House, in sound and staging. Most recently employed by the Sydney University at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music as a Music and Video producer traveling the world doing mini-docos and making Orchestral performance videos.

I had read about Adrian Bennett of the Mad Max2 Museum Silverton and was inspired by his personal story and his unwavering passion for an Australian iconic movie. This was all the excuse I needed to pack my car with a portable film rig and head west and do a minidoco on Adrian and his story. ‘Dollar the Donkey’ was something unplanned. A pleasant bi-product.

I have no links to Broken Hill other than harbouring a strong urge to get out there. I’ve worked in most areas in Australia but never actually got to the place I wanted to visit the most, Broken Hill. Until now.

Why Broken Hill? Where did the interest come from?

I often find myself Googling satellite maps and inevitably find myself looking at the red earth of Broken Hill, 42

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

What did you learn from your experience out here? Do you plan on coming back?

Out here in Broken Hill and surrounds I found a refreshing true-earth honesty. I’ve travelled all parts of the globe, worked with world leaders, celebrity’s and musicians and there is no where else I have found that I would rather stay. Funnily enough, after seeing this little Donkeydoco, even members of my own greater family are now planning their next holiday around Broken Hill.

All photographers’ talk of the ‘light’ you get in Broken Hill.

It’s so true. Not only great light, the red earth and infinite blue backdrop, I found I met a quality of people here you don’t find anywhere else. There is a form of architecture in Broken Hill both metaphoric and physical that is truly unique to the country. Would I return? Oh yeah, blink of an eye, drop of a hat! I’m currently making plans to do so.

What is it about the Silverton Donkey that caught your attention?

Staying in Silverton you can’t help notice the town Donkey called Dollar. I watched him wondering around the streets hitting-up the tourists and shops for feed and generally possessing a proud ownership on the place and the people. I started asking questions and the Silverton locals talked and referred to him in the same way they would talk of another local, gallery owner or businessman. I found this so warming to hear. This Donkey was a mate of theirs.

a tenacious and cleaver Dollar on his daily rounds. I soon became known as “the Donkey Stalker”.

The story’s from the locals of this little character ‘Dollar’ and his history, his recent heart-felt loss of his mate ‘Jack’ and the day he hee-hawed around the streets of Silverton in inconsolable grief tugged at my emotions. It rang a bell with me. Having lost good mates myself, I empathize with him.

His endurance to keep-on-going-regardless is testimony to the Silverton people whom care deeply for this surviving Donkey. He’s one cool donkey.

I stood and watched in amazement. Where else do you see a Donkey standing on the veranda of shop greeting souvenir hunters? Ambushing the tourists for a feed. I’ve been mugged by many various animals, but never by a charming Donkey.

I was hooked, intrigued and fascinated. Brandishing a broadcast camera and a pocket full of carrots I followed

Broken Hill GRAND FINAL FEVER AFL’S ‘ONE-DAY In SEPTEMBER’ It’s the ‘One-Day in September’ for AFL Broken Hill on the Saturday the 7th and it’s shaping up to be one of the most entertaining Grand Final days in recent years.

In A Grade North are straight to the Grand Final expected to face off against South. At the time of writing the final round hadn’t been played, with South and West to meet two weeks in a row going into the final. In the five meetings up to round 18 South have not dropped a game against West and are not expected to.

Face to face this season North have had four convincing wins over South and two narrow losses of a goal or less.

North have a depth with their Reserves side dominating this year also. South will be determined to prove they are the real deal while North is going for their third Premiership in a row.

It will be a close game with North as close favourites.

In B Grade North will be straight through to the Grand Final again with the contender being decided at the Preliminary final, smart money will be on South. South is hitting their form at the right end of the season and should they be there at the pointy end of the season expect them to play well. West on the other hand are losing form and seem to be suffering the most from inconsistent line-ups.

Another close game, but North likely to win.

In the Women’s grade Central will make their only appearance in the Grand Final. The dominant line up of the 2012 Premiership side is all but gone but the Lady Magpies are still a force to be reckoned with their only two losses this year were when they were playing with reduced numbers. North are expected to easily defeat South in the Prelim and come into the Grand Final hungry for a rematch of last years Grand Final. North have the numbers this year and have improved out of sight. But at full strength expect Central to win on the day.

BY DOVE HOWARD

Broken Hill and their representatives and is awarded to the Best and Most Brilliant player of the season. This year’s contenders include Jordan Johns from South and Brent Rose from West. Like previous years North have a more than one contender that could take votes from each other namely Heath Caldwell and Jayden Kelly, with Codie Howard as a dark horse. Votes are often affected by shift work but this hasn’t stopped North’s Jayden Kelly taking out top honours three years running so anything can happen.

The Mail Medal is the Best and Fairest as voted by the umpires and is more likely than not to be a different player. Last years winner Marcus Purcell has spent most of the season in Adelaide so the candidates for this year are much the same as the ones for the Lionel.

The Jan Corey Medal for best Women’s player was a tie last year between Central’s Amy Richards and Erica Wilkins, and they will poll well again this year. North players Jess Rayner and Tarnee Tester have also had good seasons, with South’s Lyndsay Kubiak and West’s Paige Cuy also to be in the top ten.

The Ally Johns Goal Kickers award will this year go to South’s Cody Schorn, B Grade is always close but Central 300 gamer Shane Stenhouse should be safe. In the Women’s Central’s Isabella Morris will take the trophy.

The night has turned into a gala affair with lots of excitement and anticipation. The junior award winners, umpires and league volunteers are also honoured on the night.

AFL Broken Hill has had another big year with the amalgamation of the junior and senior competitions into one organisation and changes to personnel. Each year is getting bigger and better, if you or your children are interested in playing AFL or would like to find out match times and results please visit www.aflbrokenhill.com.au.

The day is always full of excitement with Under 10 All Stars of a morning and the men’s and women’s half time dash for cash in the afternoon. Gates open early for those wanting to take their car; otherwise there will be comfortable seats in the Grandstand and plenty of room in the bleachers. Canteens and bars will be open also.

It’s a great family day out with some exciting matches planned.

Prior to the Grand Final is Medal Night and like last year it will be held on the Wednesday night at the Civic Centre.

The main attraction will be the Lionel Johnston Medal count. The LJM is voted on weekly by members of AFL FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU
