SHOW ‘N’ SHINE MOTOR SHOW BROKEN HILL VINTAGE CAR CLUB Motoring enthusiasts will enjoy the 2013 Car Show that will be held on the 19th October at the Memorial Oval. Between 10.00am - 2.30pm entry to the show will be a gold coin donation. There will be a trophy presentation at the end of the show.

The Broken Hill Veteran and Vintage Car Club was established in 1971 with eight original members.

The membership to this day stands at 142 with around 200 cars of various makes, models and age. Members enjoy meeting once a month for club outings and are able to use the club facilities on Saturdays to catch up with one another.

The Club held its first Show and Shine in 1983 at the Alma Oval. It has developed into a major event for Broken Hill which has grown in size and now has to be held at the Memorial Oval.

The show encourages car enthusiasts from Adelaide and Mildura and surrounding areas to attend and display their pride and joy. In previous years the public have enjoyed seeing the displays which have included Top Fuel Rail, a plane, and WW2 vehicles.

This year the public will enjoy a collection of vintage, veteran, and classic cars as well as Hot Rods, and

modern vehicles along with vintage bikes, Harley Davidson’s, and modern bikes and stationary motors.

The Highlight of the event will be the appearance of the Peter Brock Foundation Rose Torana, which has appeared at Bathurst and other major motoring events around Australia and will also include a display of the Peter Brock Rose.

Local vintage care enthusiasts Bob and Deanne will be showcasing their 1937 Dodge at the event. “I got the Dodge half restored and finished the restoration with the help of friends.” says Bob. “When the mines shut dowin in 1993 a friend wanted to go and see the car as it was for sale. I then decided to buy it and I’ve since bought four others.

They also have a 1977 Torana. “We got the Torana in good condition and have completed some minor resotrations as well.” says Deanne. “We joined the Vintage Car Club as it’s good to be around other like-minded people that share the same interest.”

the beach and of course, lots of water skiing, wakeboarding, and usually biscuit rides with screaming children gripping on for dear life.

Everyone loves the October long weekend for all sorts of reasons but for those who love their speedboat water sports, the October long weekend signifies the annual opening of the Ski Season. The opening of the ski season long weekend is one of the highest attended events in the year for Copi Hollow because of the fun on offer throughout the weekend.

Publicity Officer Krisite Pinnuck said that while the club house activities are only open to members of the Speedboat Club it is still worth the day trip to come and witness the boat parade. The boat parade is not something you will see everyday and while you’re there, you can enjoy a relaxing day on the huge expanse of lawn, bring your own BBQ lunch or utilise the kiosk at the care taker’s residence.

The highlight of the weekend is held on Sunday 6th October 2013 with the Broken Hill Speedboat Club Families Picnic Day. The picnic day consists of a drive by boat parade, kids races and games, swimming in the lake, great food, cricket on

Silver City Cup BROKEN HILL’S FAMILY RACE DAY The Silver City Cup is one of the two outback race meetings that occur in Broken Hill annually. The Cup is the oldest of the two race meetings and is a great day out for the whole family.

As with St Pat’s races, there is annual artwork produced for the races. This year the artwork has been painted by Howard Steer and features local Rodney ‘Bear’ Williams.

Rodney Williams has already arranged his plans for race day, describing the Silver City Cup as “one of the most enjoyable days” on Broken Hill’s social calendar. “I’ve always loved going to the Silver City Cup,” Mr Williams said. It is a great day to kick back and relax and it’s not as hectic as the St Pat’s races, which gives people the opportunity to have a good look around the track and mingle with family and friends.

Channel 7 Home and Away stars Demi Harman and Nick Westaway will be the VIP gusts adding a ‘splash of glamour’ to the proceedings. They will be judging the fashion on the field, which has six categories including

best dressed boy and girl. Prizes valued at more than $1000 are up for grabs.

This year there will be six races with total prize money of $49,000. Last years Silver City Cup winner Al Chicago, trained by Wally Bencic at Orroroo (SA) has indicated they will be attending again this year to attempt back to back victories. The Silver City Cup office at the St Pat’s Hall in Crystal Street is open every Thursday and opening hours will be extended to Monday to Friday in the final two weeks leading up to race day on Saturday October 26.

Silver City Cup membership is now available and for $30 you will enjoy entry to the racecourse, members grandstand and the members bar, a racebook and annual badge.

More information on the October 26 Silver City Cup can be obtained by telephoning the club on 0417-527-145 or by visiting www.facebook.com/silvercitycup

Bindara Station LIFE ON BINDARRAH STATION THE PARKER FAMILY It was not always the station life for Sarah Parker (of Bindarrah Station). Growing up in Paringa and studying Interior Design was not exactly a road that would lead her to where she is today. But when her dad was offered a full-time job at Mutooroo Station, her family moved there and Sarah fell in love with the bush...and her man!

And the rest is history.

Micheal Parker (Sarah’s husband) had purchased Bindarrah Station as a joint venture with his brother Gavin in 1997. The station is 83,000 acres and is located approximately 70 kms from Broken Hill, on the edge of the Mundi Mundi Plains. Merino Sheep are run on Bindarrah.

Micheal and Gavin worked together on Bindarrah for four years before Gavin moved to the family farm in Kingston, SA, to take over the running of that place and Micheal and Sarah took on Bindarrah.

When Micheal and Sarah decided to get married and start a family, there was only really one option. The wedding took place in the shearing shed at Bindarrah in 2002 and the couple now have two daughters Anna (10) and Lucy (7), who were both born in Broken Hill.

These days, as well as running the sheep, the Parkers work closely with a nearby Gold Mine and over the years have supplied them with machinery, labour, accommodation and general services. They have set up full ensuite quarters which can accommodate mining companies and other groups.

FR asked Sarah what a typical day was like working the station. “For Micheal” she said, “A typical day would involve keeping water up to the sheep, fencing, mustering, general maintenance around the property, outside contract work and liaising with mining/exploration companies”.

BY KRISTIL COWDREY

Power to the station is supplied by their own solar panels, wind turbine and back up-generator, which operate at a massive cost.

“There is also a lot of traveling involved for the kids and schooling. We have a governess that teaches the girls which is also a huge cost,” says Sarah. “But on the up side, we have plenty of room to move around, an abundance of fresh air, something different to do everyday and we get to have our kids around all the time”.

Anna and Lucy love the station life. They love riding their motorbikes around and helping in the yards when their parents are shearing/crutching. They are currently building a tree house and are managing to put their girly touches to it.

“Sometimes the girls ask if they can live in town, but when we tell them they can’t ride their bikes around wherever they want and they can’t have pet pigs, they soon change their mind,” Sarah said.

Anna and Lucy do School of the Air Monday -Thursday and on Fridays they attend Morgan Street Public School, where they join in mainstream classes. Sarah says the girls have gained great confidence joining in with larger groups of kids and it has given them the chance to make some great friends in town.

FR recently spent an afternoon at Bindarrah, witnessing the Parkers working with the sheep and hearing lots of exciting chatter from the girls about the place they obviously love. It was a great experience, wandering around the station and realising just how vast Australia is and how isolated some parts of it are. It highlighted the importance of station life and families like the Parkers.

They really are the heart of our country.

Having no main power and the high costs of education are the two biggest disadvantages of living out of town.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR TIME UNDERSTANDING TIME MANAGEMENT Time is precious. We do not get a ‘do over,’ we cannot have the same second twice. Once it is gone, it is gone.

Because of this it is a constant surprise how much time we waste, or do not use to its fullest.

If everyone looks at how we use the 24 hours in a day, we would be surprised. Take a piece of paper and write 24 on the top; then write sleep below it and put how many hours you sleep, then work, or how your days are spent, exercise, eating, entertainment and time with family. How many hours are left?

This is a compelling exercise and enables us to look at how time is spent. But drilling down into a day at work, how much work gets done?

There is an issue with ‘presenteeism’, people who are present, but not actually doing things of value to the business. With the onset of the internet, email and social media, the way that we work has changed.

I have been told that if we spoke with someone from the 1950’s and told them that the knowledge of the world would be on a device that fitted in their pocket, they would be amazed. Then to explain that this device is used to look at pictures of cats they would be incredulous. Is this good use of time?

In our working environments we have the ability to work in an office, home or really anywhere, I’m writing this on a plane! This means that work travels everywhere with us, 20

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

but we could lessen that impact by being more efficient with our time.

Using priority lists, answering emails in specific time slots and making sure that we understand what is urgent and important makes an incredible difference. Also for some, there is the ability to delegate, so time can be used in the most productive way, is very important.

Time management theories, such as ABCDE, the Schwab theory (named after Charles M Schwab) and others are extremely useful to know about and help to plan to utilise the time available in the most effective manner.

Also understanding that most people need to have a small break about every 90 minutes to be at their most effective.

For anyone in business time away from the office is extremely useful. How many business ideas occur when you are walking down a beach, or in a totally different environment? I would answer, most! Therefore this is the best time to work on the business; rather than in it.

So if you are having time management issues and do not have any time to think now is the time to stop and take a break, even a holiday and give yourself a chance to organise and come up with a plan or method to overcome the time management issue.

Workshops on time management and other management theories are available from the EDC.

Return of BHSBC Debutante Ball Broekn Hill Speedboat Club The Broken Hill Speedboat Club’s long tradition of holding a Débutante Ball to introduce club member’s daughter’s into society, was a huge success!

7 young Broken Hill Speedboat Club teenagers became stunning Débutante’s for the evening and were squired by 7 very handsome young men: Indiana-Rose Shamroze-Tumes partnered by Callum Dodimead Elizabeth Liddell partnered by Mason Squire Yolanda Shamroze partnered by Jackson Hoskins Alanna Hands partnered by Corey Pascoe Rebecca Wilson partnered by Hagen Grose Jazmine-Lace Pinnuck partnered by Logan Crimp Sage Collins partnered by Ethan Thomas

The flower girls for the evening were Jasmine Roberts and Kyara Fisk. Jasmine and Kyara were Broken Hill Speedboat Club Débutante’s in 2008 and they looked absolutely beautiful.

The official part of the evening started with the presentations of the girls to Barry King (Club Secretary) and Cathy King on the stage at the Broken Hill Entertainment Centre. Barry and Kathy King felt it was an honor to take up this position in the absence of the Club Commodore and Peter Garrick was the evening’s master of ceremonies and he did a wonderful job.

The débutantes and their squires had been practising the dances for the evening for the past three months under the instruction of Andrew Bevarne. Andrew did a wonderful job of instructing them which was obvious in the excellent level of

dancing on the night. The débutantes and squires danced a Waltz to “Moon River”, a Cha Cha to “Let’s Get Loud” and then in addition a father/daughter, mother/son waltz to “You Light up My Life.” During this dance there was also a grandmother/grandson duo and brother and sister duo.

Publicity Officer Kristie Pinnuck said “During the practises when the mums and dads first started, it was really rather funny to watch. The parents seemed to think they would never be able to dance on the night without making huge mistakes in front of the crowd. However on the night, they all danced beautifully!”

At the end of the parents dance everyone hugged.

The sweetest hug of the night came when Hagen Grose hugged his little sister Lucy. Lucy looked absolutely adorable and her big brother’s brotherly hug showed her how much he valued his little sister.

That would have been a very proud parent moment for parents Mark and Karen Grose.

Kristie went on to say that the Broken Hill Speedboat Club is looking to continue to hold Débutante Balls bi-annually and due to popular demand the club plans to allow girls that are not members of the Broken Hill Speedboat Club to apply to become a débutante with the club.

For further information on upcoming Broken Hill Speedboat Club Débutante Balls please email admin@bhsbc.com.

Young people in business charissa pascoe, BROKEN HILL CONVEYANCING What is your business?

Broken Hill Conveyancing is a locally owned and operated conveyancing business. We deal with property law which includes things like preparing contracts for sale of land so that real estate agents may list a property for sale, arrange for required documentation to be signed by the seller or buyer, dealing with banks in relation to organising discharge of a current mortgage or finance for the purchase of a new property.

What are your aims for the future?

My aim for the business for the future is to, first and foremost, maintain a high standard of service to my clients. I pride myself on keeping my clients and all parties involved in the transaction as informed and up to date as possible. I would like to be able to continue growing the business and have the ability to employ and train people in this field of law as I think it is a great asset for the area.

We aim to provide our clients with regular updates and information on their transaction in an effort to make the process as hassle-free as possible.

You are pregnant at the moment, will that affect your business?

I don’t believe that my new addition will have too much of an impact on the business or the quality of service. I have Jasmin Pettitt working with me at the moment and learning as much as she can to cover the day to day operations of the business and she will be manning the office during the normal office hours.

What made you start the business?

At the time, Broken Hill did not have a licensed conveyancer for the region and therefore seller or buyer’s only option was to see a solicitor. As I had completed my Associate Degree in Law, majoring in Conveyancing and had several years experience in the field, I felt that it was a service that the area required.

I also felt that I could provide a more personalised and simplified experience for locals by operating my own conveyancing business that could service the area that would be flexible when required.

How old were you when you started?

I was 26 years old when I started Broken Hill Conveyancing but had been working in the field for approximately 8 years prior to this. I gained my experience through a local law firm where I also studied to be a licensed conveyancer by correspondence with the assistance of my employer.

Was age an issue in the business?

I think age was a factor in struggling with my own confidence at the time and I often doubted my abilities.

The pressure of starting the business and the uncertainty surrounding that caused a lot of stress at the time.

However, with the assistance of the EDC and a great support network of family and friends, I quickly realised that I had the ability, knowledge and experience in the field to achieve that I had set out to do.

What appeals to you about owning your own business?

The main thing that appeals to me is the flexibility. I have a young child and another on the way and being able to work my own hours is a great benefit to me. I believe that there needs to be a balance between work and family and having my own hours is a great way to manage that balance.

The only major impact will be that the hours I spend physically in the office will decrease for a period of time.

However, with the wonders of technology these days, I will be able to continue to do work from home and attend to phone calls and appointments as required.

I have always had this flexibility of being able to work from home or other places and again the flexible hours help as well. I think that with enough care and preparation we should be able to maintain the same great service.

Is there anything you would say to a young person (or anyone) wishing to start their own business?

Research, research, research!

Have a look at the current industries and get as much information as you can. Look around for as much support as you can, a great place to start is the EDC. Great support and vast knowledge is a must is you want to start a successful business. Take all the help you can get and it helps to give back to the community as well, either by way of volunteering your time or making donations.

This is a great way to network, a great way to widen your knowledge and of course a great way to make you happy - its always nice to give back! And of course, nothing beats a positive attitude.

SKI JUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY? WILCANNIA TOURIST ASSOCIATION Tourists often ask about what appear to be the ski jumps located at set intervals across the Talyawalka flood plain on the Cobar side of town. Former resident and Telstra employee Peter Clark who worked on the installation of the cable, gave us the following information.

In the 1970’s the American space exploration program was in full swing. Satellites launched by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) were having trouble communicating with each other and earth based stations due to the curvature of the earth. To overcome this they built an earth station at Moree NSW and another at Ceduna, South Australia. Telecom, as Telstra was known then, installed the links between the two stations.

The link between Cobar and MacDonalds Hill, near Olary, S.A. is a co-axial cable. The project cost $35 million in 1975 dollars ($221,685,000 in todays $). Laying the cable across the floodplain involved the use of three Caterpillar D9’s and one D7.

One D9 would rip a trench 1.5 metres deep. A second D9 would give extra grunt by using its blade to push the one in front. Another D9 ripped a further 1.5 metre down and the cable was then laid, a total of 3 metres underground.

The D7 was used to tidy the trench up. The trench went from Wilcannia to the 10 Mile Hill, straight across the floodplain.

The cable drums held 750 metres of cable, so there is a join every 750 metres and a manhole every 1500 metres. Because the cable had to be accessed whether there was a flood or not the manholes were constructed in the shape of a ski ramp. The first effort was almost totally washed away in the 1976 flood because red sand from the 5 Mile sand hill was used in the concrete. This was despite local advice that said it was not suitable.

After another failed attempt to use local sand, dimple fabraform was installed, which then had concrete pumped into it. This method worked. The original idea was for a hovercraft to be used by Telstra staff to access the manholes.

Two hovercraft were sent to Wilcannia however they proved almost worse than useless. They had no reverse thrust and once the bag was punctured they could not be used. So staff went back to using a boat. Continued next week.

The installation crew was well organised, with one specialist team following straight on from the other. They camped near town and the Golf Club lent them a poker machine. The line was commissioned in 1975.

The cable was one of the most important links in interstellar communications. When a space launch was imminent all work anywhere near the cable ceased so there would be no chance of accidental damage causing an outage. The cable line had power running through it that was rated at 90 milliamps. 60 milliamps is considered deadly. When repairs or maintenance was needed a quiet time was chosen.

Traffic was diverted through the Riverina and the power turned off. This was usually timed between 12 midnight and 6.00am, which made work just that bit harder.

Another structure that can be seen from the highway are ½ tin huts. These are major repeaters, with a cylinder bank alongside which keeps the cable under constant pressure. They work on the theory that while air is coming out, water cannot get in. Any drop in pressure caused an alarm to sound in Broken Hill and service technicians were sent out immediately, no matter what the time of day.

SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY Maari Ma hEALTH ABORIGINAL CORPORATION As most people know, negotiating government and non-government services can be very confusing. This is often worse for marginalised people or people not comfortable in accessing mainstream services. Or sometimes it’s just the complexity of the issue that makes the process daunting. Maari Ma offers members of the Aboriginal community a number of different services that can help: Early this year we employed two Community Advocates at Maari Ma, Frank Etrich and Claudette Dickson. The focus is on the community, providing support and awareness around the programs and services that are available through the health service. The advocates also provide opportunity for patients to discuss and raise issues of concern that may impact on the patients’ ability to access health services and programs.

Assisting the community to better understand illnesses that are impacting on Indigenous people by breaking down the communication barriers, increases their awareness and knowledge of these illnesses. Maari Ma patients can also request to meet with Kaylene Kemp, the Community Engagement Manager, to clarify any questions relating to health programs and services or to discuss any feedback or complaints.

As part of the communication process, Maari Ma’s Community Advocates also prepare a Community Newsletter which commenced in December 2012. The newsletter promotes Maari Ma’s health programs and is an vehicle for community to participate and celebrate significant birthdays, recognising those who have reached a milestone in their life, new babies born for that month.

Another support for the Aboriginal community is the Indigenous Community Links (ICL) program, available from Maari Ma’s Regional Office. A FAHCSIA-funded

program, ICL (previously called the Community Support Service) provides information, referrals and internet access to Aboriginal people wanting to be able to access mainstream services regarding: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Aged Care Family Violence Housing Financial Computing/IT Transport Early Childhood Education and Care Welfare Legal Services Health Employment Emergency relief/assistance Cultural Higher Education and Training Social and Family Support Primary/Secondary School Education Sport and Recreation

Information is provided over the phone or directly to people who come in to the Regional Office. We are also conscious of the fact that not only ICL staff provide community support: many of our other front line staff assist community members with information, support to access services and advocacy.

For example, our Playgroup staff routinely assist Playgroup families to make health appointments, enroll in early childhood education, access domestic violencerelated services or following up with mainstream service queries.

SOUTH ROTARY BUSH FIRE PROJECT BROKEN HILL SOUTH ROTARY A group of 8 members from South Rotary recently spend a full week in Port Lincoln undertaking bush fire rehabilitation after the devastating fires last summer.

This trip was in a similar vein to the one made to Tarragon some 3 years ago with many of the same members attending.

The focus of the project was to reinstate fencing and structures which have been destroyed or damaged by the fires or to add new ones which could have public benefit.

For members: Greg McMahon (organiser), MaryLesjak, Richard White and June Spangler made up the fencing crew and spent the week rebuilding fences in difficult terrain with the assistance of locals and some dedicated machinery to clear brush and dig holes.

Three members: John Coff, Bob Rolton and Brian Slater made up the construction crew. With the assistance of locals they spent the week doubling the size of a picnic shade shelter which is very well used by the community for various functions throughout the year. The shelter was in an idyllic setting with numerous Koalas watching on but unfortunately large parts were destroyed by the fire.

Last but not least Fay Rolton assisted with the food preparation, which was no mean feat, for upwards of sixteen hungry workers on any given day. Meals ranged from local seafood night to many home cooked favourites, including bread pudding.

RED LUSH. ENJOY THE VIBE. YUMMY COCKTAIL LIST - REGULAR SPECIALS CASUAL MEALS & SNACKS - GREAT WINES & BEERS LASER ROOM - IDEAL VENUE FOR PRIVATE FUNCTIONS

Broken Hill South’s involvement was the fourth and last for this particular area before moving on to possible location in Coonabarabran and Tasmania. Many of the local Rotarians involved in the Port Lincoln rehabilitation put their hands up for the upcoming projects.

Rotary organised travel, accommodation and meals for all participants and for this project were accommodated at the Port Lincoln Lions Hostel. The hostel was provided to Rotary at no charge for the entire project which went for approximately four months. As a token of appreciation from Rotary to Lions a cheque for $2000 was presented to Lions by the Rotary District Governor on the function night.

Support for the project by local (Port Lincoln) businesses and individuals was overwhelming and a special function was held to than them where all of the Broken Hill South Rotarians got to meet the locals and also be thanked for their efforts.

South Rotary is part of Rotary District 9520 which covers 53 clubs in 4 Australian States (SA, VIC, NSW and QLD).

The district supplied trailers which contained all of the tools and equipment required to undertake the project.

An estimate of $200,000.00 worth of assistance was provided by Rotary in the Port Lincoln project.

THE ELEVATOR PITCH An elevator pitch is a term many people would be familiar with in the realm of sales and if a business is thinking of a mission statement and trying to define their offerings to consumers.

The elevator pitch came from early times in movie studio’s in Hollywood. The studio’s were three to four stories high with the executive offices on the top floor and an elevator traveling to these offices from a foyer area.

People who had an idea for a film would wait until an executive was on their way into the elevator to their office and at the last moment would enter the elevator. They then had the executive in a confined space who had to listen to what they had to say.

This meant that the idea had to be pitched in a very short amount of time but with enough interest created to be invited into the executive’s office to continue the conversation. Hence this became known as an elevator pitch.

ALMA’s KITCHEN GARDEN PROJECT stephanie alexander kitchen garden Project In 2010 Alma Public School applied to be included in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Project (SAKG) and were successful in receiving a grant to construct a garden and a kitchen.

Students from years 3-6 were selected to be involved.

This meant the required garden was to encompassed approximately 300 square metres (3 metres square per student that were to be involved in the project).

The project started at the end of term 3 with four working bees to get everything up and running. There was a fantastic response from parents, students and the wider community. The Broken Hill Credit Union asked their employees to get involved and we had twelve of them assisting with the works.

100 sleepers were donated and were used to begin making the garden beds. Two of the original organisers gained permanent positions out of Broken Hill so Sharon DeGoumois took on the role of coordinator. It was extremely daunting at first but Sharon was able to complete the project with the help of fantastic volunteers.

A group of parents coordinated the running of the garden section and another group of parents took over the kitchen section. Sharon DeGoumois coordinated the financial and administration side of the project. There was a tight schedule to have the garden lessons commence by term 2 of 2012.

Interviews were held and through this process a garden specialist was selected, Mr Sandwich Hopcraft. Sandwich has been amazing in setting up the garden.

A kitchen specialist, Mrs Angela Langdon, was also employed, in term 3 2012, to teach our kitchen lessons.

The children love her recipes and the opportunity to cook and eat with their friends as well as cleaning up after themselves. They have learned valuable life skills that we hope will assist them in later life.

There are 60 raised garden beds that were filled by the children in their 45-minute lessons in the garden each

week. The children also have a weekly90-minute kitchen lesson. Once the garden beds were filled, the students planted seedlings and then all the trick-lines for each garden bed. The students were extremely enthusiastic, engaging in all aspects of the kitchen and garden lessons.

Completing the trick-lines by December 1012 was a difficult task, but the children learnt how to work in teams to complete this project. When staff and students returned after the holidays all of the fruit and vegetables were beautiful and the beds had an abundance of produce. We were ready to start kitchen lessons by week 2 of the New Year.

We have grown many different fruit and vegetables including pumpkins, spinach, many lettuce varieties, tomatoes, carrots, leeks, brussel sprouts, zucchini and rhubarb just to list a few. We have also grown some unusual produce such as pepino, miners lettuce, quondong, and rosella plants. We have a greenhouse where seedlings are raised before they are planted in the garden beds.

We have been very lucky to have support from our local community. The South Broken Hill Football Club assisted us in removing old play equipment from the garden. The South Broken Hill Rotary Club donated a garden shed and then cemented and constructed two sheds for us.

At the end of 2012, our project successfully passed an audit for the SAKG Foundation. There are over 300 schools in Australia who are involved in this outstanding project. We have noticed that our children are developing life long skills such as cooperation, tolerance, hard work, responsibility and friendship through this project.

Teachers incorporate the kitchen/garden lessons into our maths, English, personal development, science and art lessons. There is so much that the children and teachers have learnted over the past two years. Our school is committed to finance this project in the future and our P&C is fully supportive of this project.

WILCANNIA RADIO ‘KEEPIN IT ALIVE’ WILCANNIA RIVER RADIO FM 103.1 During 2009, Murdi Paaki Regional Enterprise Corporation Limited (MPREC) Chief Executive Officer, Janelle Whitehead, whilst attending a community meeting in Wilcannia heard that locals wanted the Radio Station to start up again after it had shut down numerous years before.

After hearing this Janelle went about securing funding to build a new Radio Station using local labour and attracting locals to operate and become Broadcasters through traineeships. This Funding was provided by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).

From between July and September 2009 construction of the new station took place, transforming a derelict old building into a functional space for the station to broadcast at 39 Reid Street Wilcannia. Second hand equipment was donated from all over the place and the Station had the infrastructure to go live.

The station became operational in September 2009 but did not have a name as such only the frequency of 103.1FM. With consultation involving the Wilcannia community and the broadcasters the name of ’Wilcannia River Radio’ (WRR) came about as Wilcannia is located on the Darling River with the slogan of “Keepin it Alive” as its catch cry.

flowing out of the C’s which are the Elders, Community and Youth replicated by the size of the dots.

WRR FM 103.1 broadcasts community news, events and meeting information, Central Darling Shire Council’s daily road condition report (especially important in winter months), job vacancies in the Wilcannia community, requests and cheerios.

The Station has been supported by Robert Perrin and the Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport Dubbo - Office for the Arts, without whom the Station would not have been able to stay on the air. Significant assistance has also been received from the Community Broadcast Foundation who have provided funds to upgrade outdated equipment with new technologies.

Previous Trainees have had the opportunity of travelling to Broken Hill, Sydney and Dubbo to visit other Radio Stations (Hill FM, 2BH, BH Community Radio, BH ABC, Gadigal Radio Station, Dubbo ABC) to learn the professionalism and etiquette of becoming a good broadcaster and see the different types of equipment and programs they use.

Wilcannia is located in the Far West of NSW, between Broken Hill and Cobar. Wilcannia’s population is around 700 people with about 85% being Aboriginal.

From this a logo was produced and that is now the symbol of the station which means Community of all ages and river represented by the different coloured dots FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

POSITIVE TRAINING, POLITE DOGS TRAINING YOUR DOG NOT TO JUMP Does your dog jump? If you are reading this then the answer is probably yes! Dogs love jumping as it is selfrewarding for them – they enjoy it and they typically get some reinforcement from you for it – even if that is you yelling at your dog to get down, it is still attention to a dog! So scolding your dog is counter-productive.

So what can you do to stop the jumping? Lots of things!

You can start by training a new, more appropriate behaviour, like a ‘sit.’ To train this, take a yummy treat and place it near your dog’s nose and move it above their head. Your dog’s nose should follow the treat and then their bottom should touch the ground. Give them the treat and say ‘sit’ in a nice tone. Practise this a lot until your dog knows what ‘sit’ means (dogs don’t generalise well so you will need to train ‘sit’ at home in each room, in the yard, on your walks until your dog knows that sit is the same no matter where you ask them to do it). Now when you approach your dog, ask them to sit before they have the chance to jump and make sure your reward them for sitting. Try to pre-empt your dog jumping, rather than wait for your dog to jump up. Then you can ask your dog to sit and reward that behaviour instead.

Now, what if your dog jumps on you when you ask them to sit? Simple, turn your back and ignore your dog for a few seconds – pretend to be a boring tree. Go back to giving them attention. If they jump again remove your attention again (a boring tree) and then go back to playing with them. If they continue to jump, walk away. Do not relocate your dog away from you, or your dog will quickly learn to not follow your instructions. Rather, remove yourself from your dog for a minute and then return. Your dog is smart, they will learn very quickly that jumping does not get them what they want – attention from you.

If your dog is a hyperactive jumper and they are pushing you over when they jump, then before they have the chance throw some food on the ground and say ‘go find’ to refocus your dog’s attention on something else.

This ‘go find’ game will help your dog to associate you approaching with food on the ground to sniff and eventually they will sniff the ground rather than jump on you. Plus the ‘go find’ game will also help to tire their brain as they sniff, using energy which will help calm your dog down.

Remember to never push your dog down when they jump up as this will make the jumping a game for your dog and your dog will learn that jumping is a good thing to do.

Consistency is the key! Everyone in your family needs to do the same thing otherwise your dog will keep jumping.

Remember to reward the behaviour that you want to see – if your dog sits instead of jumping, give your dog a pat,

BY JENNI BAKER

throw their ball or give them some food as a treat. This will make your dog want to sit when they see you.

Desexing To desex or not to desex, that is the question. The answer is entirely up to you. If you are not a registered breeder who is planning to breed from your dog, then it is probably better to desex your dog. Some behaviour problems may be less likely to occur in a desexed dog – such as humping, lifting the leg to mark furniture and some hyperactivity in males. Desexing means male dogs can be less likely to jump fences looking for female dogs on heat. A dog’s nose is much stronger than our noses and they can smell a female dog on heat kilometres away.

The female dog has to be prevented from becoming pregnant when she is on heat. This means keeping undesexed male dogs out of your yard and preventing your female dog from escaping for three weeks each cycle. It also means cleaning up after your dog’s mess during these three weeks.

Desexing can also help prevent mammary tumours in female dogs and cancer of the prostate in male dogs. The suggested time to desex your dog is at 5-6 months of age or as soon as possible after that. Discuss your options with your vet sooner rather than later!

A common myth is that a female dog needs a litter before they are desexed. In actual fact, “medical evidence indicates just the opposite. In fact, the evidence shows that females spayed before their first heat are typically healthier” (source: http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/pet_ overpopulation/facts/spay_neuter_myths_facts.html).

Desexing your dog also stops unwanted puppies. The average lifespan of a dog in Australia is 2.5 years! That is an alarming statistic which sadly reflects the number of unwanted young dogs that get put to sleep every year.

Another advantage of desexing is that your dog will be cheaper to lifetime register at your local council.

Desexing a dog in Broken Hill is also rather cheap in comparison to other towns and cities in New South Wales.

The cost of desexing is also much cheaper than having a litter of puppies to vaccinate, deworm, microchip and feed. Please remember that it is illegal to sell a dog in NSW under the age of 8 weeks and without a microchip.
