VISITOR INFORMATION

CEO CORNERI attended the Blokes Night Out this week

and was genuinely impressed by the number

of men of ALL ages who took the time to

learn a little, participate a lot, and share

much with their peers and friends.

Naturally, targeting Men’s

Health can be a touchy subject

in some circles – but those who

attended joined in with gusto.

Brenden Nicholls from the

Regional Men’s Health Initiative

and Sally Nevill, Counsellor

gave some interesting

perspectives.

I acknowledge and accept that

everything is about choice.

What I choose to eat, drink,

discuss, think about, apply or

not apply results in the health

and mental health

circumstances in which I find

myself today. I acknowledge

that my choices can change

right now – with the very next

breath I take and that is the

wonderful thing of life.

Darren also reinforced a point

that I have previously pointed

to. The success of dealing with

the ups and downs of a normal

life, comes from having IN

PLACE the support networks

BEFORE the bumpiness

begins.

He talked of Partner, Peer and

Mentor support networks that

have the care and concern for

you let you discuss whatever is

on your mind. The work to

establish this support, starts in

choosing to do so early, as you

too are the Primary Care for

your connections. Well done

Darren – I certainly appreciated

your insight, as I am sure did all

those present.

Thanks to all who participated,

the Community Resource

Centre, Kondinin Medical

Centre, Kulin St John’s

Ambulance, the Kulin AOOB’s

and the Shire volunteers who

made the evening fun, as well

as a resounding success.

Blokes Night Out KulinMens Health Awareness Week 2017

The Kulin Community Resource Centre held a

Men’s Health Awareness evening in

partnership with the Regional Men’s health

Initiative (RMHI) on Tuesday June 20 at the

Freebarin Recreation Centre. Although we

had a couple of guest speakers to start, the

evening was actually for guys to talk to each

other, you’re each other’s support network out

here. In times like these it’s a good idea to not

only look after yourself and your family but

also your next door neighbours and your

community.

The evening started with a very engaging talk from RMHI delegate Brenden Nichols

who is a Registered Nurse and has spent the majority of his career specialising in

Mental Health. Brendon says he is passionate around engaging and supporting men

to realise their potential wellbeing and health, and this definitely came across in his

presentation. There were 56 blokes that came and listened to Brendon, and I

commend all of them for making the time to come. Sally Nevill who is a local

counsellor also spoke briefly to the crowd, talking from a woman’s perspective and

had some great take home messages for communication between men and women

Both Sally and Brenden also participated in

the Pit Stop Program, run by the Kulin St

Johns Volunteers, Shire of Kulin and Kondinin

Medical Centre. The Pit Stop Program was a

fun interactive nine station health check

system using the analogy of a vehicle. The

Test crew for Kulin 2017 included Gemma

Boxall who was the registration point and Nick

Grant who ‘marked’ the scores at the end to

determine if the participant was ‘roadworthy’!

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who came along for the evening, and a very

special thank you to Normie Quick and Peter Entwhistle from AOOBs for assisting in

the kitchen to cook the lovely hamburgers from the Kulin IGA I couldn’t have done it

without you!1 3 | K U L I N U P D A T E


Waist measurements for men is recommended to be under 94cm, which is a lot

smaller than it sounds! Greater than 94cm increases the chances of developing

problems such as Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. Included in the

program is a flexibility test which is important to maintain to reduce risk of injury –

David Lewis is officially the most flexible man in Kulin! Brenden and Sally also had

great chats with our participants and if any bloke would like to speak to someone you

can call the Regional Men’s Health initiative on 1300 789 978.

The Pit Stop saw 27 blokes come through the

Pit Stop Program which was a fantastic

achievement and anyone who participate in

the program could choose a prize kindly

donated by Gangells Ag Solutions! The Test

Crew did a sterling job, having a good chat

and a laugh with everyone that came through.

It was fantastic to see a good mix of different

blokes have a go from 18 – 89 years of age. There was a few high blood pressures which I would encourage those people to make

an appointment with the Kondinin Medical Centre to keep an eye on. There were very

few smokers which was great and only a few who drank well over the recommended

limit which is no more than two standard drinks a day and no more than four in any

one drinking session.

The nine station were; Chassis Check (Waist

Measurement) – Kaye Tyson, Extractors

(Bowel Cancer) Rodney Duckworth, Torsion

(Flexibility) Mike Robins, Exhaust (Smoking)

Ronelle Tyson, Additives (Alcohol) Brendon

Sloggart, Oil Pressure (Blood Pressure) Amy

Parnell, Spark Plugs (Testes) Dr Alan

Mackie, Duco (Skin) Kate Bishop and Shock

Absorbers (Mental Health) Sally Nevill and

Brenden Nichols.

NETBALLRound 6 – 10th June 2017

Narembeen 4 (33) defended Kulin 4 (7)

Narembeen 3 (25) defended Kulin 3 (17) This week we travelled up to Narem with an under-manned team. Thanks to Fi Jasper and Ashlyn Ridgeway (Welcome to the Club!) for filling in and fitting into the team like you have been playing all season. Also thank you and congratulations to Charlotte Reader and Kate Niblock for making their senior netball debut, they played extremely well given the step up from junior competition and against the top team! That said playing the top team in B-grade, we certainly bought our a-game and played a great, consistent game only going down by 8 in the end. Our defence, Rhonda and Ash worked well together, improving each week. On the other end of the court our goalies, Lauren and Casey, gelled really well and couldn’t miss a shot. Also an exciting congratulations goes to Ash and Kate for their first Mother-Daughter game.

Kulin 2 (26) defended Narembeen 2 (23) With Coach Silver absent, both Foops and Dee sidelined with injury and Jus stepping up into A1, we knew this was going to be a tough game. Thanks to Lauren Mullan for dusting off her netball dress and filling in for us. Once again, Narem put up a fight until the end, but with us able to put together four strong quarters as a team, we were able to come away with our first win against Narem for the season.

Narembeen 1 (44) defended Kulin 1 (31) This was our first game of the second round and our second game against Narembeen. It was clear the team had improved as a whole and were a lot more confident throughout the game, however in the end the score did not reflect and we went down by 13 goals.

Night Game: 14th June 2017

Kulin 3 (41) defended Bruce Rock 3 (29)On Wednesday night, we travelled up to Bruce Rock for the annual night game. Thank you to everyone who came along and cheered us on and the timers and umpires for taking time out of your week. During this game it was our focus to reduce the amount of stepping, keeping our space and reoffering to get the pass and the girls couldn’t have done a better job. They were able to make many turn overs and bring the ball down the court to make the goals count. The girls managed to get a good lead on the score board and managed to build on their lead each quarter, coming away with a handy 12 goal win.

Kulin 2 (51) defended Bruce Rock 2 (19)Our night game against Bruce Rock possibly highlighted why netball should only be played during the day! It certainly wasn’t the prettiest of games and there were some interesting passages of play to say the least. At three quarter time we were given the challenge to reach 55 goals, falling just short in the end but coming away with a convincing win. There were definitely a few contenders for the ‘Shazza’ Award!

Kulin 1 (41) defended Bruce Rock 1 (27)Everyone’s favourite, the night game! We travelled to Bruce Rock last Wednesday night to play our second game against them. A1 didn’t get started until 8.30pm (when most would usually be in bed!) so it was definitely a different game. Although we were not up to our usual standard of netball, we still managed to come away with a win making arriving back in Kulin at 11pm at night all the more worth it.





A very successful Great Southern Colts Carnival was held in Kulin on the weekend. Eight

leagues competed in the carnival on Saturday and Sunday with the Grand Final on Sunday

between Great Southern Storm and Lower South West deciding the final result of the carnival,

with Lower South West finishing on top in a very close game.

The football played over the weekend was of a very high standard with some players no doubt

attracting the attention of talent scouts. A regional team has been selected from the carnivals

best players to compete at the Landmark Carnival in July.

I would like to thank committee members Noel Mason, Tracey Noble, Simone Lockyer and

Gemma Boxall for the huge effort leading up to and during the carnival. A huge thanks also to

the Kulin Shire and the Freebairn Centre for making the facilities available and helping with

the preparation of the grounds. Well done to Jay Robertson and the Kulin Kondinin Football

Club on helping to make the weekend such a great event.

Thanks very much to the sporting clubs and community groups who volunteered their time to

work on the many rosters during weekend.

I have already received some very positive feedback from participants regarding the weekend

and how lucky we are to have the amazing facilities that we have in our town.

I look forward to your support again in 2018.

Thanks

Don Bradford

Nicci Was Here Officially LaunchedThere was excitement in the air on Friday, 9th of June, as over 60

women gathered and chatted at the Freebairn Centre for the book

launch of 'Nicci Was Here', a memoir written by Kulin local Peta

West.

The memoir, 'Nicci Was Here' is now available for $25 locally at

the Kulin Community Resource Centre and Kulin Post Office,

or online through Vivid Publishing, $25 plus postage, so make

sure you get in quick to secure your copy!

www.vividpublishing.com.au - search Nicci Was Here and

follow the prompts to purchase.

Contributed from Caitlyn Burling

Erin warmly welcomed guests and spoke briefly about her reaction to the book and

read a few short excerpts before she introduced the woman of the hour, Peta.

Guests were greeted with a cold

glass of champagne and a spread

of delicious canapés and grazing

plates, before taking their seats

and officially welcomed by Kulin

Arts Council president Erin Bailey.

Speaking with the humour and humility Peta is known for,

also a common thread that runs throughout 'Nicci Was

Here', Peta also touched on a theme rarely spoken about,

the grief of losing a sibling.

She also spoke briefly about the origins of the book and

the themes behind it, in addition to reading a couple of

excerpts herself.

Guests were then given the opportunity to purchase the

first copies of 'Nicci Was Here' and while enjoying a hot

supper and a great catch up.
