PANAYIOTA KOKKORIS WINS TOPAWARD IN OVER 65s SWIMMING

Local resident Panayiota Kokkoris received ahuge surprise recently when she found out that

she had won the Top Participant Award forswimming two years in a row!

Panayiota participated in a free swimmng program forthe Over 65s provided by the Coober Pedy MulticulturalCommunity Forum through funding provided by theAustralian Government through the HACC Program.(Home and Community Care)

Caroline Molnar Coordinator of the Over 65s for lastseason’s swimming program said, “We had a lovely photoshoot and gave Panayiota a framed certificate and giftvoucher for each year.”

“The painting that Panayiota is sitting in front of waspainted by her daughter Amanda while she was living inCoober Pedy,” said Caroline.

Daughter Amanda Strout, told us that Panayiota is froma Greek/Australian background. “Her home town inGreece is Sparta in the Laconia Region, so themulticultural outback town of Coober Pedy suits her.”

“We first came to Coober Pedy 1997 as a family andmy mother enjoyed opal mining as a hobby. She nowlives 6 months of each year in Coober Pedy as themediterranian type of weather weather agrees with herand reminds her of Greece as a girl,” she said.

Amanda told us that her mother was very happy as aperson to receive the swimming award and gives all thecredit for her stamina and energy to her faith in God.

“She hopes it will encourage other people of her age toto use the swimming pool facilities in Coober Pedy asthe exercise is very beneficial to one’s overall health”,said Amanda.

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.

This year has flown by. It is only just overa week until the annual Coober Pedy races

and the race club are busy with theirpreparations for a fantastic family weekend.

The year started with a fierce storm which tookthe roof off of the main shed and secretary's officeand dumped it on top of the horse yards. Needlessto say the roofs we're not salvageable.

The race club had to scramble through insurancepaperwork and quotes to make sure the shed wasrepaired in time. The roof is on and the lightshave been replaced in the main shed. The roofover the secretary's shed and horse yards willhave to wait until after this years event.

Although the news of damage was deliberatelynot broadcast at the time, we had many offers ofassistance and very much appreciated thesupport.

The race club hope the weekend will be a fantasticplace for families to come and have fun whilehelping to raise money for a number of localcharities and projects. Sunday's gate takings willbe given to Ovarian Cancer Australia to supporttheir fantastic work raising awareness, helpingfamilies and researching a cure for ovarian cancer.Get behind this cause which is close to the heartsof many race club members.

Before the 45th race weekend begins, the raceclub would once again like to thank all sponsors,supporters, volunteers, stall holders and thecommunity who help make this event happen eachyear. Hopefully we will see you all there.

In February this year a fierce storm tore the roof off the mainRace Club shed. The Committee have worked tirelessly withvoluteers to repair damages in time for this year’s races

On Wednesday the 2nd of July 2014, a Blue LightDisco was held in Coober Pedy at the localCouncil Youth Shed. This is the third blue LightDisco we have run in Coober Pedy since theystarted back up in summer 2013 and its successcontinues to grow with 97 children in attendance.

The passing of this Bill in Federal Parliament on 16 July,amends the: Defence Act 1903 to establish a frameworkfor the administration of access to the WoomeraProhibited Area (WPA) by: enabling the minister to makethe Woomera Prohibited Area Rules to prescribe certainmatters, including defining the WPA and the zones to bedemarcated within that area; creating a permit systemfor access and use by non-defence users; introducingoffences and penalties for entering the WPA withoutpermission and for failing to comply with a condition ofa permit; providing for compensation for any acquisitionof property from a person otherwise than on just terms;providing for a cap on compensation payable in respectof loss or damage in the WPA; and validating anydeclaration or past act under the regulations; andDefence Force Regulations 1952 to update terminologyin relation to compensation for acquisition of property.

This replacement explanatory memorandum takes intoaccount the amendments to the Bill, which was introducedinto the Senate on 27 March 2014, made in response tothe recommendations of the Senate Standing Committeeon Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade and consultationwith the Government of South Australia.

The Bill gives effect to the recommendations made in theFinal Report of the Review of the Woomera ProhibitedArea, released on 3 May 2011.

The Review investigated how to use the WoomeraProhibited Area in a way that ensured its full nationalsecurity and economic potential was realised and proposedthat a system be established to improve the co-existenceof Defence users and non-Defence users of the area.

Defence Legislation Amendment(Woomera Prohibited Area) Bill 2014 has

now passed both Houses of Parliament

The Review recommended that Defence remain theprimary user of the area, but it acknowledged thatexploitation of the Woomera Prohibited Area’s considerablenatural resources would likely bring significant economicbenefit to South Australia and the nation more broadly.The South Australian Government has assessed that overthe next decade about $35 billion worth of developmentincluding iron ore, gold and other projects would bepossible. Accordingly, the Review proposed that theWoomera Prohibited Area be opened up for resourcesexploration and mining to the maximum extent possiblewithin the confines of its primary use for defence ofAustralia purposes.

Implementation of the Review and operation of the newlegislative scheme requires continuing close cooperationbetween the Defence and resources portfolios, along withother Commonwealth agencies, South AustralianGovernment entities and broader stakeholders.

$700,000 FORUPGRADES TOOODNADATTATRACK NEAR

WILLIAM CREEK &TO STRZELECKI

TRACKThe State Government has purchased two brand

new prime movers valued at $770,000.

Vehicles will be used to upgrade the Oodnadatta Tracknear William Creek, and for upgrades for the Strzeleckitrack. .

Transport and Infrastructure Minister Stephen Mullighansaid the purchases will improve the delivery of re-sheetingon unsealed remote roads and ensure safer and timelierroad maintenance in the outback area of South Australia.

“The new prime mover and semi-trailer combinations willapproximately double the carrying capacity of conventionalrear tip trucks, boosting the productivity of road gangsworking in these isolated locations,” Mr Mullighan said.

One of the vehicles is coupled to a water-tanker trailerand the other coupled to a side-tipping trailer.

“It will mean a greater amount of water and road-makingmaterial can be used when re-sheeting unsealed roads,which ultimately will improve and extend the life of theroad surface."

“The side tipping trailer allows material to be tipped to theright hand side as opposed to conventional rear tippingmethod, enabling the driver to monitor and control theflow of material from the trailer onto the unformed sectionof roadway, reducing the risk of tipping over. "

“As the driver is able to physically see in the rear mirrorwhat has been released from the trailer this ensures amore precise process," said Mr Mullighan

The prime mover and trailer combinations will provideoperational efficiencies and safety benefits to Departmentof Planning, Transport and Infrastructure on-site staff,as well as reducing risk to the general public travellingthrough work sites.

Outback roads maintained by the state include the CooberPedy to Oodnadatta and the Flinders Ranges roadnetwork, the Oodnadatta track, the Strzelecki track, theBirdsville Track, the Borefield track, the Kingoonya toWirrulla Road.

Resident wants name cleared ofcouncillors’ ‘defamatory’ allegationsLetter to the Editor

Dear Editor

Has anyone attended the monthly Council meetingsheld on the third Tuesday of every month at 7pmwhere members of the public are entitled to attend?

I purposely have missed April, May and June Councilmeetings. At the March 18th 2014 Council Meeting I hadraised in Council that two Councillors had been makingallegations that I had been threatening/intimidating themto another Councillor and I wanted the matter dealt with.Less than a week after my request at the Council meetingthat this complaint be handled, the Police attended myhouse and cautioned me about my threatening andintimidating behaviour to now 3 Councillors. I wasinformed by the Police that if my behaviour continuedthen restraining orders would be placed against me.

I believe this is a coordinated effort to defame and discreditme on a personal level and as Vice Chairperson of theCoober Pedy Concerned Residents Group, as no evidencewas provided to me on any occasion. . Most residentswill be aware that I have been robust in debating issuesand actively participating in meetings concerning theTransitional Accommodation Centre/Homelessness Centreand the Alcohol Restrictions, demanding accountabilityfrom funded agencies and greater transparency on Councildecisions on these matters. This is a task that theConcerned Resident Group agreed to take on in a bid tomake some progress on decades of unrestrained drunkenviolence in the town.

So hence my absenteeism for 3 months while I wasawaiting an outcome to my complaint which I have stillnot received a response. On July the 15th 2014 I attendedthe Council meeting and was totally shocked that themeeting was finished at 7.29pm and had to be adjourneduntil 8pm. Something that had not gone on at the last councilmeetings I had attended. At this time I took this opportunityto address Council again regarding the accusations levelledat me by three Councillors. I asked what, if anything hadbeen done about these allegations. Had any Council moneybeen spent on legal fees regarding the nefarious claimsagainst me? Had any meetings been held about these claims?The Mayor stated that the matter had been resolved on thenight at the March meeting and he also advised that noCouncillor should answer my questions and to date thematter has not been resolved.

The Mayor has fulfilled his intention, allegedly directed todo so by someone in Adelaide, to run the Council meetingsas per the Local Government Act – Meeting Procedures.The result is a complete stifling of conversation anddiscussion. The meetings are extremely structured withvery limited opportunities to move motions or ask questionsat the meeting unless the Mayor allows it. I would putforward that this new procedure does not take into accountPart 1, Section 4-Guiding Principles a,b,c and d of theAct.

It would appear once again that the Senior Officers Groupwhich consists of Government Agencies (State andCommonwealth), Not for Profit Organisations and MiningCompanies under the guise of the Alcohol ManagementPlan Working Party have in fact been largely delegated theresponsibilities, decisions and the direction that CooberPedy is now to go in. A classic example of this was at theJuly 15th 2014 meeting where some 3 months’ worth ofminutes for the Coober Pedy Alcohol ManagementWorking Party were rushed through Council for approval,Sharyn Baines was endorsed by Council as the townsrepresentative on the Working Party and the Terms ofReference for the Working Party were also endorsed byCouncil.

As Vice Chairperson of the Coober Pedy ConcernedResidents Group I had put forward my name to be acommunity member representative (unpaid position) ofthe Alcohol Management Working Party. I was told therewere only three applications, mine being one of them, butI was not even afforded an interview. I did however receivea letter from the Chairperson of the interviewing committeestating this. ” ….. Thank you for your application receivedfor the above position. The interview process has beencompleted and unfortunately you have been unsuccessfulin obtaining an interview…..”

As the chairperson was one of the councilors who claimedI had threatened them, why didn’t this person declare aconflict of interest and find a replacement so that I couldat least be interviewed?

Over the last fifteen months I have watched with disbeliefsome of the antics that have been happening in our councilchambers since the Homelessness centre became an issueand was voted down. Nonetheless we now have a rebadgedSenior Officers group and even some government officialswedged into our governing body. to once again decide thedirection of our town, as opposed to the traditional councilsystem and genuine community engagement.

To me the lack of transparency is appalling. During thetime that I have spent with the Coober Pedy ConcernedResidents Group we have successfully dealt with matterssuch as the new alcohol restrictions, after years ofinaction. Let’s not forget that that only came aboutbecause the town’s people protested against theunrestrained alcohol abuse and violence, and a townmeeting was called. The APY Executive Council had calledfor restrictions since May 2008.

It was because of the catastrophic situation our residentsand businesses were facing that I saw the need for ourcommunity to have more of a voice in the direction ourtown takes. I would like the opportunity to formally becomea part of that voice and have therefore decided to put myname forward to run for DCCP Town Council inNovember. I will at least try and hold some of thebureaucrats that think they are running our town to task.How some of these government and non-governmentorganisations that are all vying for government fundingfor these so called “community benefits” projects can callthemselves stakeholders is beyond me. Whilst the everyday‘Joe Blow’ of our community is portrayed as insignificantand seems to have very little say in what type of townthey want to live in. This is a tragedy in itself.

Opal mining is the industry of choice in Coober Pedy andI believe that some members of our community need tobe reminded of where their roots came from and howthey came to be in our town.

The Concerned Residents Group recently advised our newstate Minister for Social Inclusion, Zoe Bettison that CooberPedy and opal mining in particular could be in a lull at themoment. Opal miners have experienced this many timesover the decades, and that we have mined less than 10%of the opal bearing ground in and around Coober Pedy. Itwas also stated at the community meeting regarding thehomelessness centre, that if I was to go out and drill upopal, all of our so-called “stakeholders” would be runningout to this newly opened field with their pegs to securetheir claims. An event similar to this was witnessed recentlyat Donnas’ Rush opal field.

What I also asked our new Minister for Social Inclusionis if we, the opal miners, are included in the scheme ofthings as well.

When the first opal miners came to the Stuart Range OpalFields there was nothing. Resourceful individuals sooncame from all corners of the globe and we built a town -Coober Pedy.

For anyone to try and imply that opal mining is only asecondary industry they are not looking at history, andclearly do not understand the nature of the industry andtherefore not whole-hearted in providing services to it inthis town.

George NaumovicSecond generation Opal miner and concernedresident

The accusations made against my character have neverbeen proven or even properly investigated. Therefore, inmy opinion, I have been unfairly discriminated against.I would welcome an investigation by the police into theaccusations by these three councillors so that I can havemy name cleared and also ensure that councillors are heldaccountable for making unfounded, defamatory claimsagainst members of the community.

It was also recently put to the CEO, why it took so longfor him to convene the Meeting of Electors (our recentLocal Referendum) which was passed by Council inSeptember 2013 and did not happen until mid-April 2014when members of the community began raising the issueagain. The Local Government Act clearly states that themeeting of Electors (which are the residents of CooberPedy) must be advertised no sooner than fourteen daysand no later than twenty eight days from the date thatcouncil has instructed him to do so.

His justification for the delay (and for overriding a councildecision) by some five months was that he was waitingfor information from Minister Piccolo’s office about thehomelessness centre and further information that was tobe coming from a community impact assessment fromParsons Brinkerhoff.

It was the opinion of seemingly everyone who participatedin the Parsons Brinkerhoff process, that it was a clearlybiased process. Further to this, the Minister and his staffwere clearly advocating for the construction of thehomelessness centre, in our town, and therefore had aninterest in delaying our referendum. I’m no expert butisn’t that a conflict of interest?

The Coober Pedy Concerned Residents Group was toldby Minister Piccolo that the centre would be built whetherthe town wanted it or not, and to my knowledge heexpressed the same to councillors’, although the Ministerdid have the support of two councillors and arguably theMayor, based on his comments on the 6th February 2013(“I personally think this facility will make a hugedifference to our community. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t havefought so hard to get it to this point,” CPRT Page 1 – 14/02/13). Just on that alone the Meeting of Electors (LocalReferendum) should have proceeded immediately.

It was also stated by a Councillor, that to the best of myrecollection moved the motion in Council to have the‘referendum’, that he was contacted by Minister Piccolovia telephone at approximately 8pm at night who askedhim not to put the motion forward that might give theresidents of Coober Pedy a ‘referendum’.

Together with other members of the Concerned ResidentsGroup I attended the meetings with Parsons Brinkerhoff,both at the Greek Community Hall and Council Chambers.Calling themselves stakeholders were various membersof the Senior Officers public service Group causing thenumbers to appear stacked against us. The residents ofCoober Pedy were made look like we were a minorityvoice where in actual fact we were the majority voice.

At that meeting we were told that we were only there togive ideas on how to manage the facility and where itwould be built we were not there to oppose itsconstruction. I believe the results of our recent referendumconfirms that the town did not and does not want thisfacility. 94% for or against anything is a very significantoutcome by anyone’s measure! It trivialises the opinionsof either our local politicians or the blow-in politiciansfrom down south. It would also appear to me that theCEO may have acted inappropriately in this matter maybeeven to the point that he has arguably been workingautonomously and not following the direction of theelected members of council.

At the recent council meeting on the 15th July the Mayoradvised Council that the CEO had exercised his right toextend his employment contract for a further two years.The Mayor further advised that the contract would beendorsed by him once it was drafted, and before Councilgoes into Caretaker mode in September, even though thecontract is not due for renewal until April 2015. It wasrather surprising that this important issue was put in theMayors report and not properly debated by Councillors,who were responsible for assessing the CEO applicationsin the first place. I would think that this matter shouldhave been left up to the new Council after the Councilelections in November which would be far moreappropriate.

Story by Sue Britt

Dagbjørn Johnson, opal miner and aviator of the 1950’sera came back to Coober Pedy for a quick visit recently.He was greeted by old friends, like John Dunstan andJimmy Kyle as “Yuncas.” Yuncas is Dagbjørn’s pilot callsign, used in radio communication.

Dag brought back his collection of colour slides and photosof Coober Pedy in the 1950’s and 60s and a heap ofstories. He has a near photographic memory for names,dates, faces and places.

Dagbjørn learned to fly with his Auntie Gidsken andfather in Norway as a youngster of about 12 years ofage. In Australia he used to fly gliders in Gawler. Whilehe was training for his pilot’s license he had a Cessna172. In 1960 he bought a Cessna 210, “the most modernsingle engine airplane you could buy in those days.”

Yuncas, as he became known, lived in Coober Pedyfrom 1955. In 1960 he moved to Andamooka but he stillflew in and out of Coober Pedy each week , maintaininghomes in both locations.

As a pilot Yuncas was called on for mercy flights atleast once a week where he flew injured people toWoomera, Port Augusta, Adelaide and Ceduna. He tookpassengers from Adelaide to Coober Pedy before OpalAir started up in 1963 and was involved in search andrescue when needed.

During a mercy flight carrying a pregnant woman fromAndamooka to Port Augusta, the baby hailed animminent arrival mid-flight.. Yuncas landed his Cessnaon a claypan on the southern edge of Lake Torrens anddelivered the baby. “Then we were 3,” he said. Theyall arrived safely in Port Augusta where an ambulance,doctors and nurses were waiting to take over. The babywas named Yuncas.

Yuncas 13/7/14 with his first piece of opal and aphoto of the vertical from whence it came

Dagbjørn, aka Yunkas first came to Coober Pedy towardsthe end of January 1955. He said, “I saw lots of lakesand rivers coloured blue on the map. What a cultureshock when I found only dry lakes and empty river beds.”

His interest in Coober Pedy was sparked by an article inHoliday magazine that he read on the M/S Mongabarra,one of his father’s family’s ships, enroute to Australia tosee the Olympics in Melbourne.. It had a picture of EricStevens on 12 Mile, barbecuing a baby kangaroo. “That’ssomething that no-one I ever met did. It was just a stuntfor the camera,” he said.

But then, Dag came to Coober Pedy and never made it tothe Olympic Games. “I was finding opal in the shallows.It was summer and I remember the sun baking on myback.” Dag found his first opal at 12 Mile. Vic Williamsonshowed him a vase-shaped hole that someone else hadstarted and given up on and suggested he dig there. Withpick and shovel, he straightened the sides and uncovereda vertical seam of opal. He was hooked. He still has thefirst piece of opal he found.

Dagbjørn came from a well-known family in Norway.His aunt Gidsken Jakobsen is a famous aviation pioneerbeing the second woman to achieve her pilot’s license inNorway. She established her own airline in 1932, and wasthe first female leader of a Scandinavian airline. Her pictureis on the tail of a Norwegian Air Shuttle Boeing 737.

Dagbjørn had a very adventurous childhood with hisfather’s family owning a shipping business. Duringsummer holidays he would hitch rides on the family’sships to Canada, USA, the Mediterranean, all over theworld. “I could go anywhere as long as I could get outand back within two months, in time for the start of theschool year.” But once, when he was 14, he becamestranded in Algiers.

“The revolution against the French had started. The shipwas interned but I had to get out somehow so I could getback to Norway in time for school. I hitched a ride on afamily ship to Spanish Morocco, then to Las Palmas inthe Canary Islands, then Dakar, then to Cape Town inSouth Africa, all the time going the opposite direction towhere I needed to go. Finally I caught a whaling factoryship back to Norway. By then I was almost 2 monthslate for school,” he said.

Yuncas mining at 12 Mile c 1956, with his two dogs

Yuncas told us about another mercy flight that involveda man and woman who had been embroiled in a nearfatal fight. The man had broken the woman’s arm andshe had stabbed him in the head with a knife. She saidto the man, “If you were a silver fox, I’d skin you alive.”

Yuncas flew them both to Woomera, the man with theknife still in his head. There was a dust storm to add tothe drama. “Later, in hospital, while the man was lyingon the x-ray table, the woman came running in with apair of scissors in her good hand, 20 feet of gauze trailingfrom her broken arm and tried to stab the man again,”Yuncas said.

The next morning he flew the man to Adelaide to havethe knife removed. He survived but lost his eye. Yearslater Yuncas met the woman again on a film set and sheembraced him enthusiastically.

Yuncas travels around the world to promote opal. He isstill mining opal at the Boi Morto mine in Brazil. He ispassionate about flying and opal, and owns Opex Opaland Opex Aviation. He treasures the memories of histime in Coober Pedy and plans to return for theCentenary.

It’s Your Place: What Matters To You?Where do you take your visitors? What are your most vivid childhood

memories? What tells you that you’re coming home?

In the SA Arid Lands, our soils, water, native plants and animals make up

the environment and landscapes that we live in.

They support our industries, our communities, our livelihoods and our way

of life – but, in managing these precious natural resources, how do we fi nd

a way to provide for the needs of our industries without compromising what

it is that our community values?

That’s the challenge of your local NRM Board.

The SA Arid Lands NRM Board has decided to rewrite its Regional

NRM Plan but this time we want to work together to understand what you

value in the region and how you would

prioritise work in the region.

Letter to the editor17 July 2014Dear Editor,

I am writing to let you know thatbeyondblue is giving away free computers

and internet connections to newly-established Men’s Sheds across Australia.

We still have quite a few computers to give awayand I would encourage anyone thinking aboutestablishing a new Men’s Shed in their communityto get in touch with the Australian Men’s ShedAssociation, which administers this initiative.

The Australian Men’s Shed movement has broughttogether thousands of men over the past decadeto share their interests, learn skills and buildlifelong friendships – and this has benefitted notonly the communities in which the sheds havebeen established, but also the men themselves.

For men who don’t have a computer at home,they can use the shed’s computer to develop newskills, access websites, email family members andperhaps learn how to pay bills online.

Also, all of the Men’s Sheds have a page onbeyondblue’s The Shed Online websitewww.theshedonline.org.au, where they canpromote their activities and interact with the broadonline community.

Contact: beyondblueReid Sexton 03 9810 6187/0413 777 393Julie Foster 0409 433 501beyondbluePO Box 6100 Hawthorn West VIC 3122beyondblue support service 1300 22 4636www.beyondblue.org.au

Research shows that attending a Men’s Shed canimprove men’s mental and physical wellbeing byhelping them feel socially connected and lesslonely.

With loneliness and social isolation a growingproblem in our communities, establishing a Men’sShed is one of the best ways to ensure that menin your community stay connected to each other.

The sheds often foster a sense of acceptance andcreate a sense of purpose as the men worktogether on projects such as making or fixingthings for the community,

So if there has been talk of starting up a Men’sShed in your area, please contact the AustralianMen’s Shed Association on 1300 550 009 to findout how to access the benefits that they bring.

Yours sincerely,Georgie Harman

Bug run for a frog with anaddiction

I have met some tourists in the last fewweeks. As interesting as they all were thebest was yet to come.

Last week I had a phone call from a ladyvisiting town. It seems that she wastravelling with her Green Tree Frog:Kermit. Kermit had run out of food and asfat as this little fellow is, it was a problem.

It just so happens that I knew who to ringand get some crickets for him. I was offon a Bug Run for a frog that needed a fix.

I delivered the crickets, these are the samethings that I try and stomp on in the garden.You should have seen Kermit, his little eyeswere excited with desire at the thought ofwhat was in the takeaway container. I wasasked to stay for dinner and share his score,I declined....

From the time I was a small puppy, myfamily made a promise to me to look afterme and feed me, that I would always havea comfortable place to sleep, that my waterbowl would be full and food to help me bea healthy and happy girl.

At the same time your dog will protectyour family, be your best mate; your dogwill feel your pain and sadness. Your dog’sdevotion is beyond words and love, youare their world.

Your dog likes physical contact; I wouldsit on my mum’s feet no matter how muchspace there was around me. I also sharemy most treasured possessions with myfamily; at this time it is a one legged, slightlychewed, one eyed teddy bear.

It doesn’t matter what scientists say, youneed to own a dog to know that your dogloves you.

Sir Walter Scott said, and I don’t think Ican say it better. “I can only hope I amthe kind of person my dog thinks I am”

For my family and I it was love at firstsight!

Woof Woof, Charlie Paris

POSITION VACANT

Sorry Kermit, mum has lamb roast for teaand maybe Tom Cruise will be coming todinner.

For the love of a DogScientists say the only animals with higheremotions are humans and humans are theonly animals that are capable of love.Humans have a pleasure chemical that isreleased in their brain called dopamine; thismakes people calm and contented.

It has been proven that dogs have the samechemical in their brain that works the sameway. Maybe it should be calledDOGAMINE.

Even with that information there are stillscientists that will tell you that dogs learnto use their cute emotional displays to getwhat they want. You know the sort oflook a dog can give you, big sad eyes, tailwagging, dropped ears, head put to oneside and lips drawn back into a smile.

That’s what is said dogs use to get rewards,treats, attention and to be taken outside fora walk. My mum says she worked in abar when she was younger and she hasseen women and men do exactly the samethings for the same results. She said thetail wagging trick got more attention thanall the others put together in the bar.

There are other people that believe there isa strong bond between animals and theirowners that can only be called true love.Any dog can tell you that’s not news; therehas always been true love that is pureunconditional love at the highest level.

Not just puppy love. There are men andwomen that love their dog more than theylove their partner. The dog is there foryou through thick and thin and the goodand the bad times. If you love your dogmore than anything else, you better explainto any potential partner that you are apackage deal and not to get jealous of thedog because the dog will always come first.
