7 DAYS WEATHER July 15c - 24c - Coober Pedy - an underground town, builton the back of opal mining

Coober Pedy is Australia’s real ‘DownUnder’, famous for its fabulous opals and bizarresubterranean homes. For generations, minershave dug into the white and orange rock to extractthe valuable, sparkling stone. The tunnels andchambers were converted into undergroundshomes in order to escape from the desert heat.

Coober Pedy ‘evolved’ as the result ofa massive post war Opal Rush where hardypioneers developed a make or break preciousgem industry in the desert terrain.

APPEAL FOR 1990 PHOTOS INKAREN WILLIAMS SEARCH

Detective Supt. Bray says any photos atall within a 500 metre radius of Flathill &Maliotis could prove helpful.

“People can take photos into Coober PedyPolice Station and leave their name/contact details (photos will be providedto us, we will copy and return them); ORif outside of Coober Pedy, can ringCrimestoppers and provide their details,advising they have photos relevant to theKaren Williams murder case. We will thenget all of those reports, make contact andpersonally collect photos.”

Detective Supt. Des Bray furtherstates,”Since our return from the lastCoober Pedy search, information wasobtained there was a “closed” shaft in anarea searched which was not unearthedwhen we graded the area last time. Thereis a need to re-visit that area in the nearfuture to search for that”.

“Since the last visit investigators havecontinued to source old imagery (which hasproved difficult to obtain) for the originalsearch area and there is an alternative sitevery close by that requires considerationand obtaining old imagery for as well.”

“Once those inquiries are complete Policewill make a final assessment of those areasand implement a response.”

“The local Mine Rescue Squad have haddiscussions with the Council who havedonated the use of council equipment foruse in the next search. Whilst this isappreciated, the next search phase is notdependent upon this being donated.”

“A date has not yet been set. The time ofattendance will be decided to coincide withthe outcome of pending inquiries so thatwhen we do attend we can maximise useof resources and do everything possible tofind Karen or eliminate “suspect” areas.”

The Umoona Aged Care Centre in Coober Pedy, thatenables Elders to stay on country and to remain part ofthe local community is one of five finalists in theOrganisation category of the 2014 HESTA Aged CareAwards..

Umoona Aged Care was recognised for encouraging Eldersto revive interest in traditional culture by sharing theirknowledge of languages and customs.

Umoona Aged Care Aboriginal Corporation ExecutiveOfficer, Sonia Mazzone said the organisation was foundedin 1998 so Elders could live in an aged care facility wheretheir daily health needs could be met, while enabling themto remain active custodians of their cultural heritage.

“Our residents are involved in cultural activities such artand craft workshops, singing and dancing, they attendSorry camps and funerals, collect bush medicine andmaterials for crafting artefacts,” Ms Mazzone said.

“We think nothing of travelling 600 kilometres to attendthe Tjilpi Pumpa Festival or being the focus of a familyhistory project documenting resident’s stories that involveda combined total of 4,000 kilometres of travel to preservethis knowledge.”

Ms Mazzone said the high level of community engagementwas helping to close the disparity in the morbidity ratebetween Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

“Our residents are now living into their high-seventies,eighties and even nineties, despite dealing with chronicdiseases and frailty, they are engaging in life to their fullestcapacity,” she said.

“Another benefit has been that many older communitymembers now come home to country to be cared for intheir final years in a secure, respectful environment thatacknowledges their cultural responsibilities.”

Ms Mazzone and the other interstate finalists will be flownto Melbourne to attend the awards dinner, where thewinners will be announced on Tuesday 5 August 2014.

A $30,000 prize pool will be shared among the winners,generously provided by long-term HESTA awardssupporter ME Bank. The Outstanding Organisation andTeam Innovation Award winners will each receive a$10,000 development grant, while the IndividualDistinction Award winner will receive a $5,000 ME BankEveryDay Transaction Account and $5,000 towardsfurther education.

HESTA is the leading super fund for health and communityservices, with more than 770,000 members and $27 billionin assets. More people in health and community serviceschoose HESTA for their super.

Community meetswith Linc Energy

Derek Read Environmental Scientist for the project.spokeof the various State Government requirements thatregulated their operations, the main governmentdepartment being DMITRE.

“One of the main regulatory documents is the Petroleumand Geothermal Energy Act, we then have EnvironmentalImpact Reports (EIR); Statement of EnvironmentalObjectives (SEO); Environmental Assessment Reportsspecifically for each well site that deal with potentialconcerns for that particular well.

In addition Linc Energy has it’s own Health Safety andEnvironment Management Plan.

Derek spoke of minimising impacts, including the loss ofreservoir and aquifer pressures and avoiding aquifercontamination. They also need to avoid contamination ofsurface waters and therefore work withpastoralists.Minimising their waste disposal impact, inconsideration of current issues with local tip.

Linc is monitoring 25 ground water locations in the areaand are sharing their data with SA government.

The meeting was opened for questions from thecommunity.

John Dunstan spoke saying that the Canadian Governmenthas agreed that up to 13% of the wells in Canada are leaking.

Lane Dunham Dilling Manager said the casings and cementneed to be bonded together right up to the surface toprevent migration of gas, solids or liquids. He said somegovernments have minimum standards but Linc prefer toensure complete isolation.

John Dunstan queried the use of the chemical benzine.Lane Dunham said that Benzine is no longer used. Linc’slist of chemicals is sand and household products such asproducts used in Dairy Queen icecream.

A question from the floor queried if the pressure testingfor the casings was independent.

Lane said Linc Energy pressure test the casings themselvesbut have to record it on a chart and submit it to government.Government can come out and witness tests on a stringif they so choose.

When asked how often in a year the goverment checktheir casings. Lane said, “Not at all. Once we’ve done aformation integrity test and cement and casings in placethen the we’ve met our requirement.”

The Linc Energy Community Forum was a fewhours long, therefore this article will be continued

in the next edition of the newspaper.

Cycling across Australia for a causeLocal business man and tourism operator George Russellsays that he feels extremely privileged to meet some of the

incredible travellers that pass through Coober Pedyparticularly during the winter season.

George who owns the Oasis Tourist Park (Family Parks)said “Currently it’s a good time for adventure travellingwhile the weather is not so dehydrating. I am constantlyinspired by groups of people like the Hope Across Australiateam who stayed here recently, who use their personalholidays to help improve the lives of those less fortunatethan themselves.”

The Hope Across Australia team spokesperson SteveSchuemaker has taken long service leave from hisemployment at Santos in Queensland and is cycling acrossAustralia with colleages Jon Bennett and MarshallCusworth to help raise funds for a cause that is dear toSteve’s heart..

Their beneficiaries are “Hope and Care for little Souls”, acharity that rescues orphans of war and HIV in CentralAfrica where Steve grew up.

The 5,800 km journey began at Steep Point in WA on 13July and will conclude at the eastern-most point ofAustralia.

Steve said, “We were looking forward very much to arest day in Coober Pedy, and it didn’t disappoint. We hada great tour with Rudi from Oasis Tours, a fantastic luncha John’s Pizza Bar and a relaxed afternoon at the DesertCave Hotel playing pool and enjoying the great hospitality.”

The cycling team were setting out from Coober Pedy onthe 125km trip towards William Creek.

“We have 930 km of gravel roads ahead of us before wereach the Queensland border,” said Steve.

StormCo Volunteers - “Not everything you do has to be paid”35 young people from StormCo (Service to othersreally matters) and their adult chaperones arrived inCoober Pedy on Sunday night 6 July, simply to dosomething good for our community and at the sametime learn that not everything you do has to be paid.

Andrew Ganczarczyk an audio video producer workingat Flinders University is the organiser of the StormCoprogram. Andrew said, “We chose Coober Pedy for ourservice because it is remote. It’s just dirt and dust. Forthe kids it’s a break from computers and other distractingdigital technology.”

“Building friendships and relationships is another factor.At the outset of their long journey north, not all of thevolunteers knew each other and a majority of them didn’tknow where Coober Pedy was. That soon changes on along trip,” said Andrew.

“At night we sit around the fire and reflect on the thingswe did throughout that day. After the successful Car Washwe heard comments such ‘We are very proud of the workwe do, but most of all when people we help say, thank you’,”

There have been many comments that the StormCo groupare notably happy and will put their hand to anything.

“This is their holiday and so they are also having fun. InCoober Pedy they have been involved in furniture removal,a LOT of weeding. They helped replace a rotary clothesline, played golf and karate with Coober Pedy kids overtwo days on the local holiday program. They spent a dayat the playground with local kids as well,” said Andrew.

There was a burst water pipe at Underground Books andthe StormCo volunteers found themselves as theemergency clean up crew. (Thumbs Up page 7)

Local resident Judy Sparrow said the Storm Co volunteersinstalled and cemented in a Hills Hoist clothesline for herafter a loader smashed the old one during the clean upafter the big rain in April. Judy said, “I would like to say abig THANK YOU to the StormCo team. A special thanksalso to Sandy Williams and Andrew Brockhoff whosupplied the hoist and for Andrew who did the organisingand a lot of hard work!”

StormCo volunteers Jake Walsh, Toby Ackland, Paul Tomczyk,Adam Ganczarczyk, James Butler and Daniel Hill after help-ing to build a fence and many other helpful tasks.

Prescott Southern School loaned StormCo two 24 seaterbuses and paid for the fuel for one of the buses.

Community’s first meeting with Linc EnergyFirst meeting with Linc Energy was held at theItalian Club in Coober Pedy on 18 June 2014.

Adam Bond Linc Energy opened the meeting andintroduced his colleages.

In clarifying popular confusion, Adam Bond explained,“We are not looking at shallow coal seam gas whichcontains gas, and needs to be dewatered.”

“What we are looking at is significantly below the GABand shallow aquifers from which.agriculture, town waterand any potable water is drawn. In most cases we are1000 mtrs below any aquifers.”

“Fracking has not yet been proposed in the ArckaringaBasin. We are in exploration phase which has a longregulatory process.”

“We need to be here to serve the community, and weneed to serve each others needs. We understand whatimpacting the water would do.” Adam Bond siad, “Iguarantee right now there will be no impact on the townwater or any of the GAB that is used for agriculture, fromany of the activities that Linc Energy do.

Basin or other shallow aquifers. Refer to website for SouthEast Unconventional Gas FAQ.”

Geologist for Linc Energy Ryan Kosh spoke about the2014 three well program. “The 2014 Wells areappoximately 100km from Coober Pedy. We are targetting2,500 metres depth and looking at conventional andunconventional oil and gas. Ryan used a Power Pointdisplay with diagrams.

Unconvential oil and gas is where the oil and gas is lockedinside the source rock whereby we have to go in andrelease it. There are two system - directional drilling orhydraulic fracturing.

Lane Dunham Dilling Manager for Linc Energy.spoke ofthe exploratory three wells, drilling to commence end July/August through to end December. He spoke of the casingstrings that they used to protect the GAB and aquifers.

Lane said he felt confident that they would isolate theGAB so that their operations would not communicate withthe Artesian Basin.

“Fracture stimulation in the Arckaringa Basin will only beconsidered for Government approval once all of theconcerns have been addressed properly.”

“There have been 700 wells fracked in the Cooper Basinwith no adverse impact on aquifers within the Artesian

Coober Pedy Street andRoad Names

Where did the name of your street come from?Part 57 in a series

by Sue Britt

What’s Happening at the Drive-in?“....a DriveIn for generations to come”

The volunteer committee of the drive-in continuesto work diligently towards the upgrade of ourcommunity-owned cinema.

In early May there was a big clean-up at the drive-indone by the Council Works Department. The approachroad has been graded and a pad prepared for the shippingcontainer that will house the new projector. The newprojector has arrived in Australia from America. We’rejust waiting on the fit-out of the container and itssubsequent transportation to Coober Pedy and placementon the new pad. So Stage 1 is well underway!

The canteen and Kitchen (Stage 2) is proving to be alittle more challenging to progress. During the break-inlast year, vandals made a big mess and broke holes inthe walls. It is expensive to fix this sort of damage. It isvery disappointing to see our community’s money spenton repairs to our community’s asset.

On the 10th of July the Drive-in Committee welcomedthe return of Stormco. These young, enthusiasticvolunteers from the Seventh Day Adventist Church inAdelaide came last year to clean and paint the canteenarea (before the vandalism). This year they came backto help us move some heavy equipment out of thestoreroom and projection room and into a separatestorage area.

These bits and pieces have been acquired by our drive-in as most of the other drive-ins in SA shut down.Although they were sitting under a thick layer of dust,they have great historical value and are intended to beused as showpieces for Stage 3 (the historical display).

A recent grant from South Australian History Fundenabled us to buy two large informative signs and twoflat-pack display cases. Stormco worked on the displaycase assembly during the working bee as well. Manythanks Stormco for all your help! The grant applicationfor signs and display cases was written by a drive-incommittee member.

Our group of dedicated volunteers continue to worktowards getting our drive-in up and running again as soonas possible. Although we may be closed for much of thisyear, the work that we are doing will ensure that ourdrive-in can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Thank you for your patience and ongoing support.

During this time, Charlie decided he was lonely so headvertised for companionship in the newspapers.That’s how he met Irma, a lady of German background.They got married and their wedding was a time of greatfestivity – 3 pigs and a lamb on the spit.

Ivan Radeka was the compare (best man). Irma andCharlie discovered that, co-incidentally, they had bothcome to Australia on the same ship after WWII.

Charlie and Irma moved to Mintabie. Charlie foundgood opal there. In 1974, Charlie sold up everythingand went to South America where Irma’s sister lived.He came back to Coober Pedy broke.

Charlie was good friends with Fat Mario, the butcherat the old CPS (Coober Pedy Supplies). They wereboth from Pula. Charlie was retired before he cameback but he didn’t enjoy idleness. He started workingat various jobs and also helped out at the CPS. Thenhe built a butcher shop at the corner of St Nicholasand the main street, next to the Papadopoulos’ GoldenFleece café.

Later Charlie moved his butcher store down the main streetto opposite where the Miners Store is today, next to thelane that used to run through, between the BreakawaysCafé and the opal shop. That area is empty now since allthe shops were demolished after the fire in 2013.

Besides meat, he was known for his sandwiches. Heused to cut ham off the bone and make really good hamsandwiches.

Charlie Tausel was originally from Pula, Istria, part ofCroatia. He considered himself to be Austrian becausethat area was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire whenhe was born and his parents were Austrian. However, hemainly spoke Italian because the Italians controlled thatarea when he was growing up.

During WWII he spent time in Abyssinia, which was alsoItalian in those days, in a POW camp. Charlie’s historydemonstrates the sort of war-torn, fluid-border historymany European migrants of his era had experienced.

Irma died of cancer some 10 years after their marriage.Charlie lived well into his 90’s and died in Adelaide.

Charlie was a fascinating character. He spoke with quitea heavy accent but he told a good story. He is rememberedas an outgoing and friendly man.

To Murray Willis, a big part of Coober Pedy’sopal mining culture and broader industryfrom 1962, ongoing.

Murray’s story ‘Welcome to Excitementville’ in lastpaper was most enjoyable as are many stories frompast residents who hold dear their lives in CooberPedy. Murray, you are a legend yourself!

The opal mining characters created a curiosity and aworld class asset, from OPAL. Coober Pedy was oftenaptly referred to as a ‘tick -tack’, or ‘shanty town’.The excitement and attraction was that travellersarrived at Coober Pedy to find an existence, totallysuspended in time!

“Coober Pedy is an exciting town but it's onlydirt, bricks and mortar and glass, it's thepeople that make Coober Pedy, they are

unique. There used to be something like 62nations represented in Coober Pedy,” (MW)

PROPOSED $18.5 MILLIONRENEWABLE ENERGY, DIESEL HYBRID

PROJECT FOR COOBER PEDYThe Australian Renewable Energy Agency

(ARENA) announced on Monday $18.5 millionof support for a renewable energy, diesel

hybrid project at Coober Pedy.

The project is subject to a final investment decision bypower provider Energy Developments Limited (EDL),along with approvals and agreements. If approved,completion is anticipated in mid-2017.

ARENA CEO Ivor Frischknecht said EnergyDevelopments Limited (EDL) is proposing to combinewind, solar and diesel to provide the town with 70 percent renewable energy over the life of the project.

“With ARENA’s support, EDL is seeking to integrate upto 2 MW of solar PV, 3 MW of wind generation andenabling technologies into its existing 3.9 MW diesel powerstation at Coober Pedy,” Mr Frischknecht said.

This ambitious project may demonstrate a combinedapproach for powering off-grid Australian communitiesthat currently rely solely on expensive trucked-in diesel.

Yanni Athanasiadis, the Vice Chairman of Coober Pedy’sRetail Business and Tourism Association said today, “Thisis very good news for Coober Pedy that ARENA haveallocated $18.5M towards a potential renewable energydiesel hybrid plant.”

“The South Australian Government did keep their electionpromise and restore power subsidies for 10 remotecommunities in the state.”

“We hope that EDL our energy provider makes a favourabledecision for the investment here and the project goesahead.”

EDL says it intends to restructure its existing powerpurchasing agreement with the District Council of CooberPedy with a new 20-year agreement, providing a long-term customer base to support the renewable energyproject.

Vice President of Coober Pedy Opal Miners AssociationJohn Dunstan said that the Miners Associaton has offeredto allow the Solar and Wind infrastructure to be situatedon a site opposite the existing power station, that theAssociation uses for it’s own industry purposes.

“If it’s going to help bring cheaper power to the CooberPedy residents and businesses, the Miners Associationare very willing to allow the installations of the 2 MW ofsolar PV, 3 MW of wind generation on it’s land.”

“Currently EDL have erected a wind monitor at the locationto monitor wind speeds at Coober Pedy for the next 12months to help determine what size turbines will be used”,said Dunstan.

“Coober Pedy’s current wind turbine is 0.15MW but thesenew turbines will be over twice the size.” he said.

.Mr Frischknecht said the project will include short-termenergy storage, fast start diesel engines and an advancedcontrol system to enable smooth operation.

“These enabling technologies have been successfully triedand tested by Hydro Tasmania at the ARENA-supportedKing Island Renewable Energy Integration Project andthis represents an opportunity to see them evolve for useon the mainland and in an outback community that hasfew alternative energy options,” Mr Frischknecht said.

“Further demonstration of these technologies is expectedto reduce costs over time and improve opportunities forfuture deployment without subsidies.

“EDL has identified a long-term pathway tocommercialisation by demonstrating the potential toprogressively deploy renewable solutions at off-gridlocations as technology costs reduce and fossil fuel costsincrease.

“Australia’s energy demand is growing off the grid andthis landmark project will show how high penetrationrenewable energy projects can deliver safe, reliable powerto off-grid communities.”

Holy Peas!The green thumb brigade in Coober Pedy haveproduced some pretty startling Sturt’s DesertPea (Swainsona formosa) crops this year.

Drenching rains that fell on Coober Pedy a fewmonths ago have set some of the local gardensablaze with the flashy red symbol of SouthAustralia.

A display of the famous plant can be admired atthe Underground Catholic Church where proudgardener Father Paul Bourke is only too happy toexplain the science of these wonderful plants.

“The seeds of the Sturt Desert Pea are male,”said the knowledgeable priest.“With great patiencethe Sturt Pea seed can lie patiently in the groundfor up to 5 years waiting for the right conditionsto occur before it bursts forth into life.”

“However the flower of the plant is female and.this is evident in that they are extremely hard tomaintain, said Fr. Paul”!

Camera clicking tourists visiting the UndergroundCatholic Church are delighted to find a display ofbeautiful red peas decorating the ecclesiasticaldesert garden.

Over in Post Office Hill Road at the UndergroundBookshop, Judy Sparrow has successfullycultivated a magnificent display of Sturt DesertPeas for many seasons.

Despite the rain, Judy wasn’t as pleased with thisyear’s output, although it was fairly evident thatmany of the plants had been squashed by groupsof people either sitting on the garden or restingtheir bags on top of the plants.

Another local gardener is Joe Rossetto whobelieves that the native plants of the area neednurturing in order to provide an appropriate foodsource for local and visiting wildlife.

“My method of cultivating the Sturt Desert Peais to simply throw the seeds into the garden andwait for nature to take care of them”, said Joe

Theo's wife, Sarah, then an active member of SAPOLand working a rostered shift the night of the fire, recalls,"It was one of the most gut wrenching and devastatingtimes in my life."

"What made it more heartbreaking was that our 6 yearold daughter Kate was watching it because Theo and Iwere both involved in the fire. Thankfully a friend cameto take her away from it but until then she watched thefire burning the shop - watching it, knowing that most ofher belongings, such as toys and books, photos and all ofthe drawings she had ever done in her life were all inthere burning," said Sarah.

The one year anniversary of the fire is approaching andTheo, Sarah and Kate wish to extend their grateful thanksto everyone who has shown kindness to them throughtheir ordeal:

“As a family we would like to take this opportunity toexpress our thanks to our family and close friends whohave supported us immensely these past 4 years, andespecially in our greatest time of need, the last 12 months.Without them we would not have been able to re-buildour business,” said Sarah.

“To all those that worked tirelessly the night of the fire,thank you. To the Coober Pedy CFS and SES. We arevery grateful for your efforts on the night, and for all youdo within the community.”

“Thank you to the other members of the community thathelped us that night and those that have continued to offersupport and well wishes throughout this trying time."

"For a six year old to witness something of that natureand watch it destroy a part of her world, is a lot to take inand process. It's a lot for anyone of any age to process,"Sarah added.

Theo then explained some of the challenges they hadencountered in getting their shop open in 2010.

"We spent a lot of time prior to opening, just doing up theshop to make it presentable and liveable”, he said.

“The shop was not designed to live in, but we had a verysmall budget and low capital, so we lived there for 2 1/2years and avoided duplicating unnecessary costs

On the 23rd of July last year, Seven StonesDesigner Jewellers, owned and operated byDesigner Jeweller Theo Gountounas, was

destroyed by fire.

Located in Hutchison Street, Theo had only minutes toget into his shop and grab what valuables he could.

Affecting seven businesses within the building itself, andneighbouring shops, the fire made its way to Seven StonesDesigner Jewellers, completely destroying everythingTheo had worked hard to build in the 3 years since heopened the shop.

But the ‘opal dream’ that Theo and his family had startedout so enthusiastically with began to dim before the fire.

“It was an old building and during a storm in November2012 the roof blew off and on to the road below . We hada lot of rain after that and water continually leaked intoour shop through the ceiling, causing damage to myequipment and tools," said Theo

“We didn't think it could get much worse, but a fewmonths later, it totally devastated us when the firedestroyed everything we had worked hard for over thepast 3 years, not to mention the past 20 years I had beenobtaining tools and equipment,” said Theo.

“Fortunately we had moved into a dugout 4 months priorto the fire, but a lot of our personal belongings were stillbeing stored in the shop . We lost a lot of sentimentalitems, and photos; things we cannot ever replace. It wasn'tjust a business that we lost but so much of our personalbelongings, a big part of ourselves, gone”, he said.

Sarah recalls wanting to move back to Adelaide and startagain there. They would have the support of their familyto help them get through the tough time ahead. "I felt asthough there was nothing left of what we had built hereover the past 3 years, so nothing to stay for," she said.

But Theo wasn't finished with Coober Pedy yet. He hadworked towards creating a brighter future for his familyand building a business to be proud of. So they pulledthemselves together and amidst the devastation scrapedup the courage to start all over again!

Theo reflecting on their progress a year on from the firesaid, "It has been a tough 12 months and taken us a whileto get back on our feet, but we are so pleased with ourefforts in getting this new shop open. We are so happywith it and it’s still a work in progress, but we are nearlythere. We are excited to see what lies ahead for us andour business, and confident to be carrying on with whatwe started 4 years ago now."

“Seven Stones Designer Jewellers is now open at 87Hutchison Street positioned between Tom and Mary'sGreek Taverna and Jills Wearhouse Arcade, so please callin say hello!”

We discovered that iPads can be used for not only playinggames, but for creating fun and exciting things. We createdbooks with an app called Book Creator. In Maths we werelearning about giving directions. We read a story called‘Rosie’s Walk and decided to make our own stories aboutwalking around our school. We had to plan our walksusing a school map before creating the books.

We took photos for the pictures in our books and thenadded text and voices . We then saved our books as e-books and read them on the iBook app. We are also printingout our books so that we can have hard copies of ourwork.

We will be presenting some of our books at Assembly inweek 2 next term. Please feel free to come along and seeour hard work.

Have you ever started eating a snack bar, taken a coupleof bites, then noticed all you had left was an empty packetin your hand? Or been driving somewhere and arrived atyour destination only to realise you remember nothingabout your journey? Most people have! These are commonexamples of "mindlessness," or "going on automatic pilot."In our modern, busy lives, we constantly multi task. Itseasy to lose awareness of the present moment as whenwe become lost in our efforts to juggle work, home,finances, and other conflicting demands.

As humans we are often "not present" in our own lives.We often fail to notice the good things about our lives, failto hear what our bodies are telling us, or poison ourselveswith toxic self criticism.

Human minds are easily distracted, habitually examiningpast events and trying to anticipate the future. Becomingmore aware of our thoughts, feelings and sensations maynot sound like an obviously helpful thing to do, howeverlearning to do this in a way that suspends judgement andself-criticism can have an incredibly positive impact onour lives.

Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to, and seeingclearly whatever is happening in our lives. It will noteliminate life's pressures, but it can help us respond tothem in a calmer manner that benefits our heart, head,and body. It helps us recognise and step away fromhabitual, often unconscious emotional and physiologicalreactions to everyday events. It provides us with ascientifically researched approach to cultivating clarity,insight, and understanding. Practicing mindfulness allowsus to be fully present in our life and work, and improveour quality of life.

Mindfulness

Two mindfulness activities you can try tonight!

Two mindful bites: Instead of attempting to do mindfuleating all the time, try mindful eating for the first twobites of any meal or snack. For the first two bites payattention to the sensory experiences—the textures, taste,smell, and appearance of the food, and the sounds whenyou bite into your food. You don’t need to act as a foodcritic on Masterchef, you’re just paying attention to yoursensory experience in an experimental way rather thanevaluating your meal.

Conscious Observation: Pick up an object you have lyingaround. Any mundane object will do...a coffee cup or apen for example. Hold it in your hands and allow yourattention to be fully absorbed by the object. Observe it.Don’t assess it or think about it, or study it like a professor.Just observe it for what it is. You’ll feel a sense ofheightened ‘newness’ during this exercise. Consciousobservation can give you a feeling of ‘being awake’. Youshould notice how your mind quickly releases thoughtsabout the past or future, and how different it feels to be inthe moment. It’s subtle, but powerful.

‘I have called you by name, you aremine’

Isaiah 43:1

Perhaps you sent a lovely card,or prayed quietly in your chair,

Perhaps you sent a funeral spray,if so, I saw it there,

Perhaps you spoke the kindly words,that loving friends do say,

Perhaps you were not there at all,but thought of me that day,

Whatever you did to console my heart,I thank you so very much, whatever the

part.Author: Unknown

Woof Woof Charlie Paris, Dog Reporter(charlie-paris@hotmail.com)

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting 4people from Bendigo. Unlike many tourists that

pass through Coober Pedy they had a plan tostay for a few weeks.

I went and had morning tea with them last Saturday. Whenanyone says to me “homemade cake”, I’m there withbells on.

These 4 people stand out in a crowd. Well they stand upin a crowd because that’s how they play their guitars. Ifyou haven’t seen the posters around town look for RAYDAR and see where they will be next.

Thank you to Prominent Hill Mine, and especially ChrisWarrior for inviting Umoona Aged Care to visit duringNaidoc week to show their paintings and craftwork.

A big thank you goes out to StormCo, which stands forService To Others Really Matters. 35 of the most energeticyoung people I have come across in a long time. In theweek that they were here they helped out a lot of peoplein every way that they could, moving furniture andweeding gardens and helping when the UndergroundBooks flooded. Last Thursday and Friday morning theywashed cars to get money for the Playground, raising awhopping $750.00!

If you would like to see photos of their work in CooberPedy look on Facebook, Stormco SA.

Paws up for the good workCharlie Paris

Red Dog and pals at the fundraising car wash My new mate Chris, at Prominent Hill. Thanksfor the tucker. Emdee and I loved it!

I am a big country music fan and I can dog dance to SlimDusty all night long. Ray and Keith are the musical twoof the group and have 411 songs to pick from. Most ofwhich is Good OL’ Boy country and some rock becausethey are asked for it. With Ray and Keith are Kath andGlennis who are the support team of the group.

I asked about their lives and how did they get into music.

Keith was a banker and an aircraft pilot; he has a passionfor fishing. He was in a band when he was youngercalled Pepper Tree and has made a CD.

Ray was a shearer and an accountant. He took up theguitar only 4 years ago.

Kath was in banking and is now a Domestic Goddess.

Glennis worked in a Post Office, but also a machinistworking for the Australian Defence Apparel and madeamong other important things Bullet proof Vests. Theymake them for dogs as well. She is clever because shedesigned and made the labels for their Ray Dar tee shirtsand caps.

As a group they have travelled to many places aroundAustralia. So many places I have never heard of. Theytalked about going to “The TIP”. I was excited aboutthat because I have been to the TIP many times. It seemedwe had so much in common. The smell, the interestingthings people throw out, the things you can roll in. Sothey had my attention. They must have been talking caravantalk because they meant the tip of Cape York not the localrubbish tip. I was disappointed they didn’t understandthe true beauty of our local rubbish dump but we stillshare the love of a good country song.

When I asked how long they were staying they said “theanswer is blowing in the wind” They have commitmentsback home as they volunteer their time to retirement homesand many other organisations around Bendigo. FromOctober to December they will fit in 36 gigs. In 2013they did 84 gigs in 9 months. What were they doing theother 3 months? Fishing and travelling around Australia.They told me the biggest group they have played to wasthe Caravan Country Music Festival in Hardwood NSW.It was dark and they couldn’t see everyone that was therebut it was well over a thousand people.

Will Coober Pedy see this talented duo again next year?We hope so. I for one will be practicing my dog dancing.
