Rediscovery of original Noongar place names in Perth captured on film
A two-year project to rediscover the original Noongar place names in Perth's southern suburbs has been captured on film. The film, Boodjara, which premiered this week, tells the story of how 14 Noongar elders came together to share what they learnt from their own ancestors, painstakingly reclaiming the original place names of the Melville area, in Perth's southern suburbs. Through long, careful conversations, they found not just names but stories. Yagan Mia (Wireless Hill) means "home of the long-necked turtle", an important food source, while Niergarup is Point Preston, and translates as "place of the salmon". Lucky Bay was known as Margamangup, "the place where they catch fish by hand from a fish trap". The film shows the work of reclaiming culture playing out at the same time as the failed Voice referendum. The film, Boodjara, charts the careful work elders did mapping the area and was shot by Noongar filmmaker Hugh Sando, recording the conversations that led to the rediscovery of the place names. "It was beautiful to watch," Sando told Jo Trilling on ABC Radio Perth. "These conversations unfolded, these stories were being told and I was able to document that in a way that you could share with the community, share with broader Australia. The cultural mapping involved a physical linen map that was unrolled at every meeting and hand-carved clay stamps were made to represent different places. Slowly, the project came together. "I think whenever you're exploring something that has been affected by colonisation, there's always going to be challenges," Sando said. "Thankfully, we have a group of elders that were involved in this project that care so deeply about language and about culture. "And through that, there's robust discussion. There's critical debate." He said for any place, knowing the traditional names was a way into learning about the culture and history. "When Noongar people would refer to a place, it was more often than not a description of what was there, a story about that place. "For me personally, it's so important and I think it should be important for everyone." The name of the film, Boodjara, means country. Sando said he hoped it inspired curiosity for people to learn not just more about Melville, but places all over Australia. "Everyone thrives on the culture of the places they visit," he said. "I would ask one thing from everyone that watches the film — be curious. Where am I? What does this place mean? What was this place before colonisation? "And how is this place still important? For the Noongar elders who took part in the project, it's a restoration of culture that will be felt for generations to come. During the course of filming, Australia voted no to creating the Voice to parliament. Geri Hayden, the cultural advisor on the place names project team, told the ABC last year it was about bringing Noongar stories to the fore for future generations. "It's about reviving the Noongar place names and identifying them and telling the meaning so that our future generations know that we do have a culture, we do have a law," Ms Hayden said. "It's very important that people know about it and especially our children who grow up in the society and the world around us. "We learn about all this European history stuff but they forget about our culture and that means our history too." Hugh Sando sees his film, and the cultural mapping journey it documents, as a way for First Nations culture to become stronger, despite the obstacles. "It was a privilege for me to sit in on those conversations and be able to not only document, but witness that process happen," he said. Boodjara was a collaboration between the Community Arts Network of Western Australia, Indigenous consultancy Moodjar and the City of Melville.

Calgary Stampede, July 10: Crowded concert raises safety questions Unexpected finds at BMO Centre Market
Article content Article content Chuckwagon historian and commentator Billy Melville said although the sport has been around for more than a century, the objective has always remained the same. Article content 'Even though it's gone through a number of changes, there are three underlying principles that have guided the chuckwagon races since Day 1,' said Melville, who loves talking about the sport his grandfather, Orville Strandquist, excelled in at as both a driver and an outrider for seven decades up until the 1990s. Article content 'A chuckwagon race does three things. Number one is that it tests the skill of the driver; number two is that it tests the skill of the outriders; and number three, it demonstrates the speed of the team. It's really no more complicated than that.' Article content Article content Article content While the Calgary Stampede is not likely to lose its boastful moniker 'The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,' organizers of the 10-day spectacle have been taking great effort in recent years to add to its branding to emphasize there is more than a rodeo happening at Stampede Park. Article content It is also being sold as 'The Greatest Music Festival in the West,' a testament to the eclectic music programming that takes over four venues on the Stampede grounds. Article content Article content Where else can you watch fireworks 10 days in a row? Calgary has the special privilege of a spectacular nighttime show starting at around 11 p.m. from July 4 to 13 while the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth takes over the city. Article content Article content Want to know where you can best see the fireworks? Here are the four best spots to take in the Stampede fireworks from around the city. Article content Stampede Park Article content While not free, this option gets you the best possible view. The fireworks shoot off right after the Grandstand show ends and you can get the best close-up view while on the Midway or right outside the rodeo grounds. Article content Scotsman's Hill Article content This spot has the best free vantage point. It is right across the river from the Stampede grounds in the community of Ramsey. Article content Scotsman's Hill a very popular spot for fireworks viewing so show up early to find a spot to park and sit. Getting dropped off by a generous family member or a ride-share or taxi is a great option. Article content A little farther north from Scotsman's Hill is Tom Campbell's Hill Natural Park. Near the Calgary Zoo, this spot still is close enough to give a great view of the fireworks. Article content There is a parking lot on the north side of the park and is an 11-minute walk from the Calgary Zoo CTrain parking lot. Article content Max Bell Centre

FONAR Board of Directors Announces Receipt of Non-Binding "Take Private" Proposal
Melville, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2025) - FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ: FONR) ("FONAR"), The Inventor of MR Scanning™, today announced that its board of directors (the "Board") received a preliminary, non-binding proposal letter, dated July 7, 2025 from a Proposed Acquisition Group led by Timothy Damadian and consisting of certain members of the management team and Board of Directors of FONAR Corporation and third parties, to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of FONAR not currently owned by the Proposed Acquisition Group, at a price per share anticipated to be "at a premium of no less than 10% to the average closing market price of FONAR's common stock for the 90 trading days immediately preceding July 1, 2025". The letter states that the Proposed Acquisition Group currently beneficially owns approximately 5.01% of the outstanding FONAR Stock. The Board has established a special committee consisting of independent and disinterested directors of the Board, who will carefully review the proposal to determine the course of action that is in the best interests of the Company and all shareholders. No action is required by FONAR shareholders at this time. FONAR cautions its shareholders and others considering trading in FONAR's securities that FONAR has only recently received the proposal letter and has not had an opportunity to carefully review and evaluate the proposal or make any decision with respect to FONAR's response to the proposal. The proposal constitutes only an indication of interest by the Proposed Acquisition Group and does not constitute a binding commitment. There can be no assurance that the Company will pursue this transaction or other strategic outcome, or that a proposed transaction will be approved or consummated. No agreement, arrangement or understanding between FONAR and the Proposed Acquisition Group relating to any proposed transaction will be created unless definitive documentation is executed and delivered by the appropriate parties. FONAR does not undertake any obligation to provide any updates with respect to this or any other transaction, or to provide any additional disclosures to reflect subsequent events, new information or future circumstances, except as required under applicable law. # About FONAR FONAR, The Inventor of MR Scanning™, located in Melville, NY, was incorporated in 1978, and is the first, oldest and most experienced MRI Company in the industry. FONAR went public in 1981 (NASDAQ: FONR). FONAR sold the world's first commercial MRI to Ronald J. Ross, MD, Cleveland, Ohio. It was installed in 1980. Dr. Ross and his team began the world's first clinical MRI trials in January 1981. The results were reported in the June 1981 edition of Radiology/Nuclear Medicine Magazine and the April 1982 peer-reviewed article in the Journal Radiology. The technique used for obtaining T1 and T2 values was the FONAR technique (Field fOcusing Nuclear mAgnetic Resonance), not the back projection technique. FONAR's signature product is the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI (also known as the STAND-UP® MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position™ Imaging (pMRI™) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI often detects patient problems that other MRI scanners cannot because they are lie-down, "weightless-only" scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT® MRI has a near-zero patient claustrophobic rejection rate. As a FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while watching TV. FONAR has new works-in-progress technology for visualizing and quantifying the cerebral hydraulics of the central nervous system, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which circulates throughout the brain and vertebral column at the rate of 32 quarts per day. This imaging and quantifying of the dynamics of this vital life-sustaining physiology of the body's neurologic system has been made possible first by FONAR's introduction of the MRI and now by this latest works-in-progress method for quantifying CSF in all the normal positions of the body, particularly in its upright flow against gravity. Patients with whiplash or other neck injuries are among those who will benefit from this new understanding. FONAR's primary source of income and growth is attributable to its wholly-owned diagnostic imaging management subsidiary, Health Management Company of America (HMCA) FONAR's substantial list of patents includes recent patents for its technology enabling full weight-bearing MRI imaging of all the gravity sensitive regions of the human anatomy, especially the brain, extremities and spine. It includes its newest technology for measuring the Upright cerebral hydraulics of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the central nervous system. FONAR's UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is the only scanner licensed under these patents. # UPRIGHT®, and STAND-UP® are registered trademarks.
