Phone 32408600 IN THIS ISSUE TRIBUTE TO LATE MR. S . M . PARAMANATHAN FROM RADIO 4EB FM 98.1 --TAMIL GROUP The news of the sudden demise of our valiant social worker, S. M. Paramanathan , has punched an indelible mark in the hearts of many Tamils living in Brisbane and other cities in Australia. This is an irreparable loss to the Tamil community in Brisbane because of his humanistic love and affection poured on many people particularly to the members of Tamil Programming Group of Radio 4EB FM 98.1. He placidly established an unbroken cord with many organizations as he was instrumental in setting them up, particularly the Hindu Temple in South Maclean, Sri Selva Vinayagar Koyil and Brisbane Tamil School. All those people who came in contact of this great idol express their deep sadness and offer their heartfelt condolences to his wife and members of his family, his relatives and friends. “Thiruvalluvar”, the Bard of the Universal man in his Kurral couplet No.335 says, “ Before the tongue stops functioning and the hiccough arises, Hasten to do acts that are good.” This is what our idol Param had done while he was mingling with the youths and the recent asylum seekers who would have praised him as their true and honourable leader. Honour is the main theme in his life and he never follows any thing that others begin. We now shed tears for his abundant mercy poured upon the needy souls. All his preplanned valuable pieces of work is now interned with his bones. In the early ‘80’s Mr. S.M.Paramanathan and the author became closer together because of their parents’ scholastic education which steered them to establish educational, recreational and broadcasting services to Tamil community in Brisbane. Param was a great visionary, studious organizer filled with strong passion in doing voluntary service to any group with a smiling face. Many a time he volunteered to perform any work at Radio 4 EB FM station and earned an astounding praise from Station Manager. He was twice elected to be a Board Member in the inner sanctum of Radio 4 EB FM Board of Directors. The first was on 5th September 1990 when Mr. S. M. Paramanathan, a member of the Tamil Oli Group was elected to the First Council newly formed by the Management Committee to oversee the production of better quality programmes. He was asked to oversee the Italian Group, the Samoan Group and the Dutch Group. As a Councilor he participated in the Management Committee of Radio 4 EB. The second time election took place on 19 th September 2010 when he was elected as a Board Member in the position of Functions Assistant which he continued until his demise. He was also asked to help in activities related to Fund Raising, Marketing and Radiothon. He satisfied the Board of Directors in all these events without any dissent. The Board of Directors have highly praised him for the immaculate jobs he had completed. Well done Para! You have done it again. You will be remembered forever. The following quotation gives us your presence in our hearts: Para, our peer says:- I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now---For I shall not pass this way again. “ “ Cover Photo Slovenian Broadcaster Maksim Vergan I hope memberships continue to come in as to date only 11 groups have the minimum number of members required to maintain the current airtime held. If anyone needs any assistance in this area then contact the 4EB Office. The focus this week is the finalisation of the raffle being drawn at the dinner dance and of course we are looking forward to a great night with Fortunato. The Annual Dinner dance will also feature a Filipino Dance performance. There are many projects underway for the improvement of services at 4EB but the most visible change will be the new car park. Construction is commencing in coming weeks with the development of the dirt car park into a secure carpark with shelter. Also, it is time to think about those long term members and volunteers who have been supporting the station for many years. Nominations for a Certificate of Appreciation are welcome up until the end of August. Details have been circulated to Convenors. All certificates will be presented at the 4EB AGM on the 21st of September. There have been a few changes recently with staff as our producer Ellie is taking off to Korea at the end of July for 12 months and this means the program ‘Where are you from?’ will not be broadcast once Ellie leaves. Also, Sandra from reception has a fractured foot and we do not expect to see her back at 4EB until August.

This Festival has been going for quite some years now and 4EB has been a regular attendee with the OB Van. This year we were situated right next to the World Dance tent and the Anti-Discrimination tent. Plenty of wonderful music on one side, and lots of video activity on the other. 4EB was represented by Peter Rohweder, the station manager, he did the setup and assisted with video filming for the Antidiscrimination Campaign. Natal Edward who is involved with the “Where are you from?” Digital program, was there signing up new members for the proposed new African program. Irene Tavutavu was there doing a lot of talking as usual. As you can see from these pictures, the amount of stalls with food , craft, kids entertainment and information were all very well received by the huge crowd that attended. If you were not there, you missed a great day. Born in a refugee camp in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), Sophia Turkiewicz arrived in Australia as a young child with her Polish-born mother, Helen. They came as part of the first wave of European immigrants to come to Australia after the Second World War. Sophia grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where she completed an arts degree at Adelaide University and became a primary and high school teacher before being selected for the first intake of full -time students at the newly created Australian Film & TV School. Since graduating in 1978 in Directing and Screenwriting Sophia has worked in the film and television industry as a freelance drama director. Her credits include the feature film Silver City, which was released internationally in 1984 and won 3 AFI awards, as well as Best Film at the 1984 Sydney Film Critics Awards. Sophia was a special guest on Women’s profile talking about her latest movie “Once my Mother” She is pictured here with Melissa McArdle (left) Boondall wetlands Brisbane’s natural area By: Dina Hanhan In our program we spoke about wildlife places in Brisbane. I have visited Boondall Wetlands and took a lot of beautiful pictures and studied the history of its origins in order to write the article and broadcast about the topic. It is indeed a beautiful place and others should know about it. Boondall Wetlands is known for its diverse wildlife: it has ducks, possums, green frogs, butterflies, a variety of birds, flying foxes, and more. Boondall Wetlands lies on the edge of Moreton Bay between Nudgee Beach and Shorncliffe. Brisbane City council manages more than 14.000 hectares of parkland including 7500 hectares of bushland and wetland reserves. One of the most beautiful things is to walk along the tracks and to watch the wildlife from a distance. As well as staying in the area until sunset to observe the changes in nature that accompanies the tides. This place humbles you and reminds you of how young we stand in front of thousands years old land that has a unique nature and forms of life. 4EB and Global studios use Senheiser 421 microphones, here is a rundown on adjusting the Roll-off Filter. When a directional microphone is spoken into from a close distance, the lower frequencies are over -emphasized. If this effect is not desired it is possible to counteract or compensate for it by means of a roll -off filter. From the diagram showing the influence of the roll-off filter, it can be seen that in position M (music), the frequency response curve is not altered in any way. In position S (speech), however, the frequencies below 500 Hz are reduced by approximately 6 dB/octave. Between the positions M and S, the frequency response can be altered in three defined steps. See Figures 4 and 5. I have found that the best sound for our use is a flat frequency response where the switch is rolled totally to the right– Jason.

There was even a huge children 's entertainment area. In the Greek Club, you could sample different foods, attend cooking demonstrations or attend one of the many displays. 4EB were delighted to be in attendance at our old spot, right outside the church entrance, and many thanks to Donna Tagamotu from the Niuean group, Lucy Stewart from the Maltese group and Ivan Hlupic from Slovenian group for manning the site Whilst our Greek committee members were involved in many of the community stalls.
