CAPTAIN COMPOST VISITS HADDON We had a visit from Captain Compost in May as part of Compost Week who showed the children how to build and maintain a worm farm. Thank you to Jayne for all the work you did in getting and supplying lots of resources. Visit Captain Compost on Facebook, or check out the recyclingrevolution.com.au website for more information about composting and scheduled workshops. Above photo: Kirsty Lucas (with Summer Lucas) who won the first green drink bottle during the quiz questions. The children learnt a lot about caring for their environment as well. Laughing and learning by all participants was the theme of the day. There will be a follow-up visit by Captain Compost in the coming months.

Term 3, 2019 SPECTRUM SKILLZ MARTIAL ARTS FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM Martial arts have been shown to be very beneficial for kids in general, and kids on the Autism spectrum as well. The Spectrum Skillz program was designed for children on the Autism spectrum. The program introduces specialised skill-based training for children who have different physical, intellectual, social, and emotional abilities, with further consideration for sensory processing issues. With that said, more emphasis is placed on building fundamental skills training with a strategic balance of Martial Arts. The class instructor holds a Graduate Certificate in Autism Studies, the author of the Autism & Martial Arts Instructor Course, and has taught many students on the spectrum over the past 35 years. Some participants may be able to utilise NDIS funding to access community, social and recreational activities. https://karateballarat.club/
DAD… A FILM ABOUT AUTISM AND FATHERHOOD – ONLINE NOW! Becoming a parent isn’t something you can ever truly prepare for. When your child is diagnosed with a developmental delay, everything you think you knew about parenthood changes. Often the few support systems available are tailored towards mothers – but where does that leave dad? DAD is a documentary created to provide guidance, information, and support to fathers with children on the autism spectrum. The film shares the stories of twelve Aussie fathers as they discover a whole new world of parenting and what it means to be a dad. https://www.autismawareness.com.au/news-events/eventscampaigns/dad-a-film-about-autism-and-fatherhood-online-now/

ALL RAMPED UP TO SKATE IN SMYTHESDALE An eager group of young skaters undeterred by the cloudy skies were the first people to officially take to the redeveloped Smythesdale Skate Park at its opening on Friday 31 May, 2019. Mayor Cr Owen Sharkey and Member for Buninyong Michaela Settle MP officially opened the skate park, joined by Woady Yaloak Rec Reserve Committee of Management Chairperson Bronwyn Cranny; Golden Plains Shire Deputy Mayor Joanne Gilbert, and Crs Des Phelan and Helena Kirby; Member for Western Victoria Andy Meddick MP, and an enthusiastic group of local families to celebrate the impressive new facility in Smythesdale. The significant redevelopment of the Smythesdale Skate Park at 55 Heales Street includes a big blue half pipe, several new ramps and skate elements, sheltered seats, and a basketball ring. New landscaping works have completed the community facility. The project was funded by $150,000 from Golden Plains Shire Council and a $100,000 Sport and Recreation Victoria grant from the State Government. Mayor Cr Owen Sharkey said the redeveloped skate park is an impressive recreational facility for families living in the north of the Shire. “Golden Plains is a large Shire and we are pleased to deliver this impressive recreational facility for our growing population in the north of the Shire. The redevelopment was designed for all ages with ramps and elements to suit all abilities and cater for all wheels – skateboards, roller skates and scooters. “The young people who turned out to participate in free skate clinics on opening day had a blast. The single-digit temperature and drizzling rain didn’t bother them at all and seeing their excitement made opening day a real community celebration. “It’s a significant investment for the redevelopment of an existing skate park, but Council is committed to delivering top quality community facilities and we thank the State Government for supporting this wonderful project. It’s a great location near the primary school and recreation reserve, and we’re sure the new skate park will be a popular destination for young people of Smythesdale and all the surrounding townships.”

STATE GOVERNMENT E-WASTE BAN STARTS 1 JULY Golden Plains Shire Council is preparing for the State Government’s upcoming ban on e-waste in landfill, which commences on 1 July 2019. The State Government is introducing a ban on electronic items (e-waste). From 1 July, it is Victorian Government law that e-waste cannot go to landfill. E-waste refers to any item with a plug, battery or cord that is no longer working or wanted. It covers a whole range of items from work, home and the garden shed, including small and large appliances, IT telecommunications and TV equipment, lighting equipment, electrical tools, as well as toys, leisure and some sports equipment. While e-waste material will no longer be accepted in kerbside collection bins, there are a number of participating transfer stations, recycling businesses and electrical stores that households can take it. Golden Plains Shire residents are encouraged to take their household e-waste to the following transfer stations: Rokewood Transfer Station – 141 Meadows Road, Rokewood Ballarat Transfer Station – 119 Gillies Street South, Alfredton Snake Valley Transfer Station – 298 Snake Valley-Mortchup Road, Snake Valley Fees and a limit of 20 items per visit may apply. Please refer to the relevant Council’s website for opening hours and fees. Council secured a $100,000 grant from Sustainability Victoria to build the new e-waste storage facility at the Shire’s transfer station in Rokewood. The Grampians Central Waste and Resource Recovery Group will have a stall with information on e-waste at the Golden Plains Farmers’ Market in Bannockburn on 6 July and the Smythesdale Community Market on 20 July 2019. For more information on the change, including where businesses can dispose of e-waste, the negative impact of e-waste on our environment, and how to safely dispose of batteries, visit goldenplains.vic.gov.au/ ewaste.

You can attend the first session covering CPR and defibrillation only, or the whole course. At the CPR session, learn about:

Following changes to national training rules, assessment for online Food Safety Training now has two components: a series of online questions to assess the student’s knowledge and a assessed workplace practical skills assignment. You can do your certificate online and start any time and also have the convenience of finishing it in your own time. If you don’t have access to a computer, you can complete this part of the course in the Centre’s computer lab. The workplace assignment is completed on the job, in a real or simulated workplace environment, and observed by a suitably qualified 3rd party observer. The observer needs to hold a food safety qualification that is at an equal or higher level than the course you are taking. Your certificate will be emailed to you when you have completed all the modules required. Simply come into the centre and fill in the enrolment form and pay the fee. We will then email you a link to commence the course online. The cost will depend on the level of certificate and whether you need to use the Centre's kitchen as a simulated workplace with an assessor. Call us fore details.

After a busy campaign, the Federal Election is over and the Coalition has been re-elected to lead the Federal Government. As a fast growing regional municipality, Council is always seeking more government investment to deliver projects and program for our local people. During the Federal Election campaign, we were enthusiastic in lobbying both major parties, seeking strong bi-partisan commitments in our Shire. With more than $4.6 million committed to the voters of Golden Plains by the Coalition, Council will be working with the Federal Government to support the timely delivery of these four valuable projects:

DEADLINE FOR TERM 4 ISSUE FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2019
$832,000 for female friendly change rooms for members of the Golden Plains Soccer Club at the Bannockburn Soccer Facility; $500,000 to upgrade the club rooms at the Inverleigh Sporting Complex; and $100,000 for lighting at the Lethbridge Recreation Reserve; and All these commitments were made in the marginal electorate of Corangamite and many of our townships did not receive election commitments, however the good news is that every dollar assigned to deliver key infrastructure saves Council money, and those funds can be redirected to deliver more projects across the Shire. We look forward to working closely with the federal members of parliament representing our electorates to make sure the people of Golden Plains remain front and centre in their minds and their decisions when they’re in parliament in Canberra.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO KYOKUSHIN KARATE (SHINKYOKUSHIN) The martial arts of Asia are often many centuries old so it may come as a surprise to learn that Kyokushin style of karate was founded as recently as 1964. Koreanborn Japanese Masutatsu Oyama developed this style of stand-up fighting after studying judo, boxing and Okinawa and Goju-Ryu karate. Starting in September 1947, Oyama decisively won the All-Japan Open Karate Championship. This was followed by many victories in different martial championships and tournaments with dissimilar rules and regulations. Many times, he challenged masters from different martial arts, but always ended up as the clear-cut winner. In this way, he practiced and perfected his special style o karate. Masutatsu Oyama opened his first dojo in 1953 in Tokyo. Many of his apprentices were practitioners of different martial arts, and Oyama compared their styles and forms with his style of karate. He adopted the best techniques and concepts and incorporated them in his training to found Kyokushin Karate. The formation of the world organisation began in 1960, and it was officially open in July 1965. It was named the International Karate Organisation, later to become the World Karate Organisation (WKO). It was at this time when Oyama introduced the name for his style in karate – Kyokushin (the ultimate truth) – and began spreading it all over the world, creating one of the biggest martial arts organisations on the planet. Because of his contribution to the development of karate, Oyama was awarded the honoured title “Sosai”. Kyokushin karate proved to be the hardest and most aggressive style of karate. Kyokushin fighters were noted for their exceptional strength and high fighting spirit, leading to its recognition in wider martial arts circles. Today, “WKO – Shinkyokushin” is the biggest organisation in full-contact karate, with more than 12 million members in 93 countries. Its popularity is constantly increasing, so much so that it will become an Olympic sport in 2020 when Japan hosts the 32 nd Summer Olympic Games. Techniques and training One of the goals of kyokushin is to strengthen and improve character by challenging one's self through rigorous training. Kyokushin training consists of three main elements: technique, forms, and sparring. These are sometimes referred to as the three "Ks" after the Japanese words for them: kihon (basics), kata (Imaginary forms of fight), and kumite (sparring). Kata is a form of ritualised self-training in which patterned or memorised movements are done to practice combat manoeuvrings. Sparring, also called kumite, is used to train the practitioners to apply the various techniques in a fighting situation. Sparring is usually an important part of training in most Kyokushin organisations, especially for experienced students at the upper levels. In most Kyokushin organisations, hand and elbow strikes to the head or neck are prohibited. However, kicks to the head, knee strikes, punches to the upper body, and kicks to the inner and outer leg are allowed. In some Kyokushin organiations, especially outside of a tournament environment, gloves and shin protectors are worn. Children often wear headgear to lessen the impact of any kicks to the head. Speed and control are instrumental in sparring and in a training environment it is not the intention of either practitioner to injure theri opponent as much as to successfully execute the proper strike. Tournament fighting under knockdown karate rules is significantly different as the objective is to down an opponent. Full-contact sparring in Kyokushin is considered the ultimate test of strength, endurance, technique and spirit.
