Local Support for the RIBS Radio Programs.

Legendary as some of the busiest shows broadcasting through CAAMA, ( Ntaria for example usually has over 20 requests per show) … with the phone often running red hot it’s important for the broadcaster, & the broadcast, that there is good support to help out and so the radio program can be as good as it can be …family plays a very big part in how this happens , so from Ltyentye Apurte to Elliot to from Utju to Alpurrurulam .. good family & friend support helps the RIBS Broadcasters do a really great job…

A State Memorial Service held at the Sydney Opera House yesterday, Thursday the 3rd of May, honoured the life and achievements of the late Jimmy Little.

A smoking ceremony was held outside the Opera House to honour the legendary musician…who sadly passed on April 2, aged 75.

Uncle Jimmy little made history in 1963 when his hit song Royal Telephone topped the charts…a rarity for Aboriginal artists in that era.

NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell said uncle Jimmy Little had taught and mentored Aboriginal music students in Redfern since 1985… and spoke of his not-for-profit Jimmy Little foundation which aimed to increase the life expectancy of Aboriginal people.

Mr O’Farrell announced that Mr Little had been named recipient of the 2012 JC Williamson Award…which recognises individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the Australian live entertainment and performing arts industry…and shaped its future for the better.

Mr O’Farrell said Uncle Jimmy Little was delighted when he was told earlier this year that he had won the award.

The last few days spent in Aputula was great … Jonathon McCormack is up and running a local program there, and I was able to meet with some of the service provider staff and talk about CAAMA & RIBS, what the possibilities are, and what our vision is for Aputula …I met up with Noelene Kenny, a past broadcaster, who is pretty busy these days, so is unable to do the shows, but is happy to support Jonathon & others doing something locally. Future visits are going to be closer together, starting up a Youth Program is in the pipeline & discussions are underway to get after-hours access to the studio for evening programs and weekend programs too … I am so looking Forward to my next visit to Aputula We did a local program 9:30 to 11:30 which was well received, and could be heard all around the community …shire workers, health clinic, people cars … it was great …so keep an ear out for 101.3FM at Aputula…Jonathon McCormack at the Panel …

and as a ps??? everyone was right, driving the Old Ghan Railway Heritage Track was a surreal experience, but dodging the spikes kept the concentration on the road too…fantastic country, fabulous views …several surprises!!!

Getting More out of a Translation ………….

RIBS Coordinators travel widely to support, develop andtrain broadcasters to give local rograms in local language. There are manylanguages used throughout the Territory, and this is the primary enjoyment our listeners receive when listening to the several language groups broadcasting on CAAMA Radio…

Languages currently used by RIBS broadcasters doing local community programs and networked CAAMA programs are Eastern Aranda, Western Aranda, Central Aranda, Jingili, Luritja, Warlpiri, Warumangu, Wakaya, Ptjantjatjara, Yankuntjutjara and many also speak a sort of pigeon language when translating song meanings or announcing community notices and sharing information.
