Box 1562, Broome �1989 BUSINESS AWARD The enthusiastic efforts of the Broome Chamber of Commerce and Broome's new Business Facilitator, Des Mathews have ensured that three Broome businesses wiil participate in the State final of the Australian Small Business Awards. These three businesses came from the nine Broome finalists which were Broome Office Supplies and Services, Broome Palms, Broome Toyota, Kimberley Distributors, Magabala Books, North West Tackle and Sports, Pearl Coast Caravans, Pearl Coast Hot Bread Shop and Soloman's Carpets. At at very well attended function at the Mangrove Hotel it was announced that the winner in the smaller business category of up to six employees was Broome Office Supplies and Services, the winner of the non-manufacturing business with less than twenty employees was Kimberley Distributors and the winner of the category for a manufacturer with less than one hundred employees was the Pearl Coast Hot Bread Shop. For the owners of Broome Office Supplies and Services, Grant and Jane Kenny the award is recognition for two years of constant hard work since they began their business in Oct. 1987. As an employee for Kimberley Business machines in Kununurra, Grant noted that they were receiving a large amount of business in Broome. Consequently he decided that Broome which he had never · vis.i tedl was the place to embark on his ambition to set up his own business. He came to Broome and from his tent at the Roebuck Bay Caravan Park initiated his business as he began servicing typewriters. · Soon his wife Jane joined him and they set up B.o.s.s. in October 1987 from a unit they leased in Saville Street. Their business of selling and servicing office equipment including photocopiers· and faxes grew rapidly. Jane even recalls returning to the shop to find the register on the floor, her working desk having been dispatched away to an eager client. 7 In November 1988 Grant and Jane took out their first loan since commencing the business to buy the current property they are operating from in Clemenston Street. There they constructed a shop front outlet which they opened last May. Grant proudly describes himself as a "founding member of the Chamber of Commerce". Since commencing B.O.S.S. Grant and Jane have also become the parents of Wade and Nicole, and they see their business and family )laving a good long term future in Broome. Like B.O.S.S., Kimberley Distributors is a very young business which was only formed two and a half years ago. One of the original partners, Evan Novelly saw a growing market spurred by "burgeoning tourism and hospitality industry in the Kimberley •• '' In February 1988 Evan went into partnership with Don Parmenter, soon their wholesale distributorship expanded to include products from Weaver and Lock, Centrex Chemicals, Dysons Paper Bags, Swan Brushware and Oates Cleaning Aids. Then they installed refrigeration and this enabled them to handle products from Masters Milk, Berrie Fruit Juices, Kraft Food Services, Streets Ice Cream, and Bakewell Foods. This meant for the first time Broome received unfrozen milk from Perth in bulk. Evan and Don have a delivery run of 2, 400 ''kms in the north which they believe is the longest free d .elivery run in Australia. They are currently planning extensions to their existing premises in Hunter Street and consider that their hard work is worth while to establish a good business in the kimberley where . they envisage a great future. �~ward Contd. The co-operative hard work of an entire family is behind ·the small Business Award to the Pearl Coast Hot Bread Shop. Back in 1986 Perth business broker, Ken Wright was on a family holiday in Broome when he was approached by Bob Hocking, who originally established the Pearl· Coast Hot Bread Shop about finding a buyer for the business. For a while Ken attempted to find a buyer but then the family came up with the propositron of buying the business therr selves. · Ken, with his wife Margaret, their son Graig and his wife Robyn and their daughter Fiona and her husband David Graves formed Seabrook Holdings.and moved to Broome to take over the Hot _Bread Shop just prior to Xmas 1986. With no previous business in the bakery business they soon found many new challenges including filling the gap when their baker suddenly left with no notice. A new baker was soon flown in from Melbourne and began baking within a couple of hours of landing in Broome. During 1987 all six members of the family were fully employed· in the business as the~ virtually baked continuously twenty four hours a day, seven days a week at the Seaview Shopping Centre outlet to meet demand. This situation was relieved with the construction of their larger bakery in Lucas Street in June 1988 which contained a wide variety of modern bakery e quipment. The demand . from within Broome and beyond has continued to develop. For some time they have placed cut and fmlled sandwishes, filled rolls, cakes and other bread products on the daily flight to Kununurra fo.r sale there. The supply of goods to Derby and the places en route warranted the establishment of the daily Broome Courier Service which also carries other freight. Ken .and Margaret hope to ease out of the business into semi-retirement later next year while Craig and Robyn, and David and Fiona carry on the business. However they are pleased that their Broome business has opened up new opportunities for their family. .,,. DAVE AND KEN WRIGHT 1 • The willingness to take up new challenges and work long hours is readily apparent, in the success of B.O.s.s., Kimberley Distributors, and the Pearl Coast Hot Bread Shop and we wish them well in the State final of the Australian Smali Business Awards. : "- ALISON LAWRENCE.

Don McKenzie wa~ ~o~inate~ by the Broome Darts Association for: the · awar:d which is made to a sport over the past 12 months. The Award wfls the culmination · of an outstanding year of . achievement in competitive darts playing for Don. Having achieved the highest overall ,average, during the wet season and · dry seasons Dart Association competitions, Don capta1ned the Broome team at the Pilbara Darts Championships His performance there qualified him as one of the top eight plpyers to represent the Pilbara Darts Council at the 1989 Singapore Open Darts Championship. Fellow Broome player Dennis Corpus was one of the otfier representatives at the Singapore Open Darts Championships. Don has a lifelong involvement in Broome sport. In his earlier years he was a noted basketball and · football player. Now Don participates in darts because it is less strenuous. However, he is quick to point out that the skills of precision and concentration r:equired in darts takes considerable development. Certainly an evening at the Broome Darts Association competition presents some impressive characteristics for sports groups. There is enthusiastic support for the efforts of all players who represent a very broad section of the Broome community. It is an inexpensive sport to which new players can readily adapt. For the Junior Sports Star of the year, Megan Highway, the award tops off a very · busy and successful year of swimming achievements. Megan, aged 10 has been • a member of ·the Broome Swimming Club for three years. '· MEGAN HIGHWAY As • a member of the Broome Swimming Club team at the regional 1989 Shell All Junior N<>"'..ice Championships at Karatha, Megan won the freestyle and breaststroke events for her age group . At the finals · of these championships in Perth, Megan came fourth in _the fifty metres freestyle event and fifth in the fifty metres breaststroke event. ,Th"is leads to Megan being ranked seventh in the State for her age group by the W.A. Swimming Association. Although not all sporting clubs in Broome made nominations for the Sport:,s Star of the Year Awards, this years function was a wel 1 attended and suc cessful · evening.

J �KIMBERLEY WRITERS' Co-ordinated by local Aboriginal publishing house, Magabala Books, with the assistance of the National Book Counc i 1, WA Theatre Company and the WA Department for the Arts, the first ever Writer's Week was h~ld in the Kimberley during October. Nationally recognised and new authors from throughout Australia arrived i9 Broome intrigued and expectant a~ to how much interest in books and writing could be forthcoming •· from s~ch a small and isolated community. ~- few weeks later those authors, Rodney Hall, Jack Davis, John Aitken, Alf Taylor and Gladys Milroy, are probably still trying to make sense of the overwhelming enthusiasm and support for the workshops! All the· sessions were well attended and supported by people from Broome, Port Hedland and Derby. If the excited buzz and 'writing talk' before and after workshops is any indication, this exchange of learning and develqpment of writing skills could be seen as a turning point for many of those who attended. The dedication and encouragement from the visiting quthors was inspirational and resulted in some very good . work being produced. ,Of particular interest were the discussions that took place on the i:tecent emergence of life stories tieing written by Aboriginal people. · Gladys Milroy, who wrote her own story in Sally Morgan's MY PLACE, cind Broome writer, Glenyse Ward, ~hared their own views and experience qf writing about their lives. Because of the deeply personal and often painful emotions they experienced, thunour played a crucial part during ~he writing process for both of these women. 1Another aspect of Aboriginal writing discussed was the difficulty that publishers and storytellers experience when attempting to capture -the qualities of an oral tradition on paper. Jack Davis is an Aboriginal writer that has so far managed to achieve a balance between writing for publipation and at the same time stimulate a sense of his culture's spoken tradition . Jack Davis' presence at the , Writer's Week was invaluable and his wise contributions earnt the respect of everyone present. For j'lalli•••llliiii!lila WEEK �cont. from pre v I ous page CHAMRl:K Of COMMERCE WRITERS' WEEK CONTD. those writers more c oncerned with developing their cra f t ; Rodney Hall was able to o f fer t he sort of advice and experience that comes from being one of Austral ia' s mo st recognised and prolific f i c t ion writers. Following the act i v ities in Broome, which inc l uded a public 'Night Reading' perfor mance a t the MamabulanJ 1n Resource Centr e ·and a visit to Nulungu Col lege , a contingent of writers and Magaba la staff travelled to Fitzroy Cr o s s ing for a two day bush meeting wi th storytellers from local commun i t i e s. On arrival in 45 degree heat on Wednesday, 18th October, the Broome party were greeted by over 100 people a lready gathered on the dry, bur n i ng bed of the Fitzroy River at the Ol d Cr o s s i ng. The stories began. Al f Tayl or , a new ~boriginal writer from Perth, read to the clusters of peop l e shading themselves beneath the paper ba r ks. Although his poetry primaril y focuses on life in the city, he writes about daily concerns that are equally relevant for people from the c ommunities. The days of stori e s and talking amongst the visitor s and local storymade the bush meeting tellers a celebratory gatherfng. It was a time of storyte ll e rs and writers 'talking i t out ' a nd learning from each other. Evening c orroborees by the bunaba dancers on their traditional grounds added t o the atmosphere and the dust was raised long into the night. The wr i t ers v isited Derby for a pe~formance a~ the Mowanjwn community, which also invo l v e d l ocal writers Cathy Borthwick, J oe Trammachi and Heather Gr ace . The evening closed with stories and s o ng by Elsie, Roger and Spider Bagu o f Mowanjum. Their welcome to the v i s itors and sharing of stories was a moving way to end the first KIMBERLEY WRITER ' S WEEK. Going out to t he c ommunities was an important part o f the Writer's Week - it allowed f or a very different kind of cultura l i n terchange and provided a welcome op portunity for traditi onal - stor ytellers to share th~ir vo i ces with contemporary writers .

Chris left Broome in 1985 to teach for 18 months as a volunteer ih the Philippines and returned with his wife Judith in 1987. Recently, Chris led a group of Broomites to the Philippines to build a school again as a volunteer projept. Chris has been involved with Shin ju as Quiz Master, quiz organiser anq kontuku over the years and last year organised the Mardi Gras . This previous involvement should stan.d him in good stead for the coming year. Chris said recently " I have the idea to return Shinju to the locals with more involvement from local groups. To this end I have asked Charlie Ward and his friends to run a survey of local attitudes towards Shinju to see if there are areas that have · been overlooked . I have suggested to the committee that there should be only one formal ball with . ~he closing night celebrated with a cabaret. This would mean that the Pearl Queen would be crowned on . the opening night and I mean Pearl Queen. I feel that if there is a need for a male competition then it would be a separate competition run on the same 1 ines. · A comm:i.. ttee has been formed to assess -the rules for the Peari Queen Quest and these will be advised as soon as the committee reports.

Paul Purcell (Accountant) Brian Smoker (Bookkeeper) Ali Southern (Word Processing) ,sssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssscc sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss �PETER ABELES ANNOUNCES "We are appalled that the Australian Federation of Air Pilots premeditated strategy to ground domestic air services for a lengthy period, as out1 i ned in numerous of its newsletters earlier this year, isolated so many communities in a state as large as W.A.", he said. "Its action was unnecessarily costy to W.A. as Ansett W.A. pilots had valid contracts .which were not due for re-negotiation until mid-1990. There was · no justification for it to deprive W.A. communities of their air services. "It is therefore pleasing that Ansett, W.A . is the first airline in the Ansett group to restore services to all its ports." Sir Peter also said it was tragic the AFAP' s action had deprived many W.A. pilots of the opportunity to continue working for Ansett W. A. Rebuilding elsewhere is weli underway and Ansett nationally· will be able to cater for more than 90% of demand by December although not evenly over all national routes using principally Ansett and foreignregistered, Ansett-owned, wet-leased aircraft, Ansett will be able to cater for all demand using only Ansett aircraft by March. Ansett W. A. serves Perth, Kalgoorlie, Geraldton, Learmouth, Karratha, Port Hedland,. Paraburdoo, Newman, Broome, Derby, _Kununurra and Darwin . Ansett Joint Chief Executive, Sir Peter Abeles, recently announced that Perth-based Ansett W.A. will resume services to all its 11 Western Australian ports and ' Darwin from December 18. Services will be operated by the airline's fleet of 5 ,BAe-146 and 4 Fokker F28 jets. Firm flight schedules to December 15 have been entered into the airline's Ansamatic reservations computer and details and bookings are available from Ansett offices and travel agents. While frequencies will not be as great as prior to the with drawal of labour by the AFAP, the great major ity of passenger demand will be catered for. Extra flights will be added to the timetable as they become available to ensure maximum capacity during the Christmas holiday travel peak. Sir Peter said Ansett W.A. 's resumption followed a recent influx of former pilots rejoining the airline combined with the availability · of new pilots who have just finished qualifying as Ansett W.A. first officers after joining Ansett from the general avai tion industry. Some pilots from TNT Europe will be retained while the airline's full operation is established. LURAJARRI SQUABBLE "It is laughable that they could expect that anyone would view their claims with any seriousness." "The genuine Aboriginals in Broome are severely embarrased by these claims and like the foolish demonstration at the old brewery site, this claim is doomed to failure." Mr Lockyer said that the Broome Shire was more tha.J1 happy to consult with genuine . Aboriginal leaders concerning genuine sacred sites.

An intensive survey has now found the infestation has spread through the area of Broome Park Estate and the area between and including the Courthouse through to Bedford Park and back to Herbert Street. It is important that people remain on the lookout for any further suspect damage to palm fronds and to please notify local nurseries or the Shire so as to ascertain the existence of the beetle. Th i s will greatly help in effecting an eradication program. if and when funds become available from both local and State governments . In the meantime, home gardeners can themselves take measures to control any beetles found by seeking advice from local nurseries and treating the infested palms accordingly. Palm Leaf Beetl e Eradication Group Ag. Minister Looks Into It On Wednesday 25th October, a meeting was convened by the Minister of Agriculture, the Hon Ernie Bridge in his Broome office to bring together representatives of the Department o f Agriculture, the Br oome Shire and the volunteer organ i ~ation the "Palm Beetle Eradicat i on Gr oup" to set i n place a structure f or the eradication of the Palm Beet l e in Br oome .

ADDRESS A DOLA �SECWA Dertrti s S m i tr-L vvho is the Dist~ict Office~ irt B~oome.,.. is a. b-u..sy ma.rt - Not only is he in charge of Broome's electricity supply but also Derby's Fitzroy Crossing's and Camballin' s power requirements. Smaller communities are serviced by Village Power Supply Branch operating -out of the Pilbara and the Kimberley. Like just about everything else in this town, the power station has had an increase in demand due to the increase in population. There was a 14% increase in customers between August 1988 and June 1989. In fact, the day Broome News inter-· viewed Dennis, a peak load of 7.85 megawatts was generated, far exceeding last year's maximum demand of 6. 9 megawatts. Recent times saw the installation of a further 2.4 megawatt diesel driven machine and the conversion from 6kv to llkv generation and distribution to assist with the increased demand. Requests for new connections and final readings are the responsibility of the occupier. Accounts can be paid at the SECWA office, Broome, located behind the power station, the Shire Office and Banks ( if paid by the due date) or posted to SECWA, P. 0. Box 345, Broome. For those who leave town in a hurry, SECWA's computer link - up allows you to pay your bill in other major towns. Any-one wanting power connected should phone 921806 during normal office hours, 7-30am to 3-20pm . People requiring connections to new installations must have the electrician's ticket submitted by a licensed contractor to say that the building complies with S.A.A. Wiring Rules. Hand-held computer meter reading devices w i 11 soon be introduced to make the task of meter reading easier as they will down load daily into the system. They will also contain additional information such as meter access, meter interference, position of trees and even if there are savage dogs to be aware of. As we all know, the power supply sometimes suffers a breakdown. Trees are the biggest causP. of this problem, IN BROOME particurly during the cyclone season. Trees growing on the customer's property are the owner's responsibility. Those growing on- the- road verge are genera)ly the Shire Council's responsibility unless planted by the owners. SECWA attends to natural vegetation on the road verge when it interferes with power lines. Fruit bats also cause problems. When they land on the power lines they short out the insulators thereby creating a circuit to earth which causes a flash over and consequent loss of power. Where there are fruit bats around SECWA has introduced a standard procedure to overcome this problem . (see photo ) . The main problem that people cause is by overloading their own installations. There are also incidents relating to vandalism, which is a VERY DANGEROUS practice. During a breakdown customers are encouraged to check their own main switch and fuses prior to calling the SECWA fault number, 921806. Outside work hours this number goes through a telephone di verter machine to connect with a Duty Officer's home number. This takes longer and the dialler is advised by a prerecorded message that the cal 1 is being diverted . �·s EcwA 1N BRooME CONTD.

SECWA advises that during electrical storms people should turn off their electrical appliances such as T.V.s, stereos and computers, as they are susceptible to damage caused by light ning strike, also, it is not wise to use a telephone during an electrical storm as the user may suffer severe ear damage.

Remember, they a~e forecasting for a much . bigger region than the West Kimberley. Last year they forecast an above average number of c'yclones. They were wrong there were only 7 Cl below average), but as none threatened Broome, we didn't notice them mwch. They predicted there would be 1 cyclone before Christmas. "Ilona" occurred about mid-December. They forecast that 3 cyclones would cross the coast, and 2 did "Ilona" and "Orson". And they forecast an early and good Wet. Broome had rain in November and December, and everywhere except Broome seems to have had a good Wet. Apparently Karratha residents are taking cyclone preparation very seriously this year. Having experienced "Orson" last year, they know what to expect. A pity that Broome hasn't had a cyclone to shake-up our complacency for a few years. During "Orson", Karratha experienced winds of 180-200 km/hr for 4 hours. Fortunately, the cyclone sprinted past at 33 km/hr instead of the average 13 km/hr, so its effects did not last as long as they could have. Actually, the eye passed 40-50 km south of the town. Pressure in the eye dropped to 905HPa, the lowest ever recorded in Australia. Wind speeds of 280 km/hr were claimed to be assaulting the North Rankin A platform. Roofs were ripped off buildings, fences blown down and huge trees plucked from the soil. Car windows and windscreens were sucked out, power1 ines downed and boats washed ashore or sunk. When the eye passed close to Pannowonica, 80% of the town's dwellings sustained damage. 12 houses lost their roofs. ol3 The good news was that "Orson" had crossed the coast on a low tide, as it had lifted sea levels 3.1 m above normal a storm surge. Imagine a 3 m storm surge on top of an 8. 5 m tide in Broome! What parts of town, and the new suburbs, would ~e flooded? Coming back to the present, there are 2 innovations in the cyclone warning system. One is the introduction into W.A. of the "National Cyclone Warning Sound", an ear-catching preface to radio broadcasts of cyclone warnings and community alerts. The other new feature is the · introduction of a severity catagory rating system. This will help the CounterDisaster Controller to apply blue and yellow alerts more flexibly. The Bureau has retrospectively applied rating to cyclones for the past 25 years. "Orson" was a category 5. "Lindsay", which caressed Broome in March 1985, was a 3. In fact, Broome has not had a cyclone more severe than a 3 in the last 25 years. The same could be said of Darwin before "Tracey". Local SES volunteers are preparing for the season. Resource registers and contact lists have been up~ ted, calendar, and maps distributed, and briefings held. We've tested our Operations procedures and simulations. If a cyclone comes, we' 11 be ready. What about you?

For most of the intervening years, Bishop John Frewer was both Bishop and Rector of Broome, due to difficulty in recruiting priests, and the lack of finance to pay them. Since the beginning of the episcopate of Bishop Howell Witt, third Bishop of North West Australia, and afterwards until 1984, ministry to Broome has been by the Rector of Derby, trave-11 ing down on a fortnightly, and sometimes monthly basis. However, the increase in Broome's population meant that it was necessary for the town to have its own resident priest. Canon Bernard Buckland was appointed Rector in 1986, a new Rectory having been erected in 1984 to replace CHURCH an historic, but no longer habitable, building, which had been first built as a club for young men, and had, in its time, served as both Rectory and Bishop's House. The new Rectory is once again a Bishop's House, for Bishop Ged Muston, the present Bishop of the Diocese, has a vision of greater epi scopal care for the Kimberley, and Bernard Buckland, whi 1st remaining Rector of Broome, has been consecrated and appointed Regional Bishop for the Kimberley. There is now a full time and growing ministry in Broome; a ministry not only to the residents, but also to the thousands of tourists who come to enjoy Broome's tropical climate and relaxed atmosphere, and who rightly expect to find the ministry of the Church available to them. It is to the NATIONAL FUND of the Anglican Church that thanks must be given that this ministry is available, since it was from this Fund that the Rector receives his 'st i pend.

Thu need for such amounts as these has caused the Broome Vestry to ask for assistance from those who have enjoyed the benefit of the existence and ministry of the Church in Broome.

It's a time for a favourite Broome band to express their celebrations with · the crowd at the local pub. The atmosphere on New Year's Eve when Scrap Metal play at the Roebuck is electric. The band and crowd are practically on the same level, everyone is together, celebrating in such a way that the magic feeling and presence of so many happy people is carried through until the end. Apparently Scrap Metal will not be playing at the Roebuck Hotel although they were booked for New Year's Eve. Is this management decision of getting Slim Jim and the Fats band to play instead of Scrap Metal a subtle way of saying to ' locals that they are no longer welcome at the Roebuck? In the interests of supporting 1·o cal musicians and providing the type of music Broome people want to hear, especially on this very special night of celebration, I would like to call on the management of the Roebuck Hotel to reconsider · this unpopular decision. Sunni Hoogland 1 I am writing in complaint about the inadequate organisation of the Broome Basketball Association. There has been noticeable discrimination against some teams. Games can be reshuffled for the convenience of certain teams, but when we approached the committee to play a game on a different date it wasn't acceptable even though the , opposition was prepared to co --operate. For tlle last ten years we nave been associated with basketball and have never experienced such bad sportmanship amongst association members and teams alike. . Its a sad thing when sport is reduced to unjustified conflict. we are prepared to put time and effort into building a better association for the benefit of the pe~pl~ of Broom~ A DISILLUSIONED AND DISAPPOINTED BASKETBALL TEAM BASKETBALL 2 We are a basketball team involved with the Broome association this season and amongst others are very disgusted in how badly it was organised. Not only were fixtures frequently changed but at times we were expected to play two games in a row. The first game was never started at the correct time sometimes being twenty minutes · late putting all other games behind . Team coloQrs were also a problem AS we were the same colours as one of our opposing teams making it difficult to identify. It wasn't unusual too for the lights to go off during a game resulting in a jump ball. Not only do we feel it was poorly organised but believe our team alone was treated unfairly. At the beginning of the season we were unable to attend a games so we approached the other team involved and they were willing to play us on another night yet the association would not allow it.

On several occasions we would turn up for our game finding no-one there, being obvious that it had been cancelled but we were never notified. We were also never told of any meetinqs held. Last Saturday niqht October 21st, we had bench duties at 7.00p.m. and a game at 7-50p.m. But when two of us fronted to do bench we were told we had two games at 7-00p.m. and 7-50p.m. and to disregard the bench duties. The first game had not started and they were aware of our situation but still after approximately 10 minutes when we all ·arrived we were told we had to forfeit even though the other team was keen to play us. We questioned one of the organisers asking how were we expected to play two games and bench at our disadvantage! But apparently it was bought up at a meeting we were unaware of. We asked for fixtures for our games to come but were refused them. So at that stage we approached the Pres- · dent asking him for our times and of why we were never notified. He was very arrogant and told us to find out for ourselves and that he hasn't got time to contact us then finished by abusing us. We were a fair team who probably would of made the finals but we have have withdrawn from the competition due to all of the needless hastles. We'd like to apologise to the other teams for any inconvenience we may have caused through this. It's a shame that an organisation like this displayed such bad sportsmanship and we can only hope now for better things next season. signed: VERY DISAPPOINTED BASKETBALL TEAM Lurujarri Trail I would like to clarify the exclusion zone issue and justify the plausibility of the Lurrujarri Heritage Trail proposal for Broome. It is a personal perspective to encourage positive and understanding. offered communication 31 • • • The area concerned incorporates key environmental features and aspects and various sites of Aboriginal cultural significance. These represent maJor constraints to certain types of development and uses however some of these very features provide ideal opportunities to enhance tourist activities and satisfy local recreational pressures. For example; the enhanced tourism ,opportunitie~ provided by promotion and interpretation of significant vegetation, wildlife and palaeontology and the opportunity to have a positive amalgamation between Aboriginal culture and the tourism industry. Similarly, the increased demand for beach access from new residential subdivisions provides an opportunity to develop appropriately located and designed , walk/cycle paths, carparks and beach walkways. The zone presents a management structure providing consultative processes essential to reducing unnecessary conflict. People should not be alarmed or feel threatened by anything to do with Aboriginal people; I urge you instead to be calm and rational about the whole thing. Broome does have a problem at present and that is its growing reputation as an all-round rip-off town for locals and visitors alike. This and the increasing lack of harmony is being passed · on by bus operators, truckies, caravaners and the like. So it is imperative we carefully provide an attractive and interesting view of ourselves for our visitors to come and share. To achieve this we have to -respect one another first then work out the problems and enjoy the achievements together. Be rest assured, the 70 kilometre long and two kilometre wide zone, allows for development and access for everyone. The region is an investment for the future for all and something we can be very proud of thanks to Paddy Roe the Aboriginal Custodian and Trustee of the area .

DEADLINE December 6th ..3.3 The Western A~stra lian Heritage Trail Net~ork pro~ect has ~on a 1989 National To~rism A~ard for Excellence in the c a t e g o r·y of Her.itage/C~l t~ral Tou.:r -ism and an A~ard of D i s t i.n c t i o n in the category of To~rist Ser-vices_ This follows its June success in the Sir David Brand Awards for Tourism, when the network picked up two awards in the same categories. The latest award pays tribute to the unique nature of the statewide Network, which was devised and coordinated by the Western Australian Herj_tage Committee to commemorate Australia's Bicentenary . "It r·ecognises the work , of more than 2,000 members of the community, including school chi~dren, w~o dreamt up and developed trails designed to highlight sites of cultural and natural significance in their region," said Dr Avril O'Brien Chairman of the Western Australian Heritage Committee, who devised the Project . . "It is also a tribute to the dedicated and professional work of the Heritage Committee staff coordinated by Simon Livings o;er a period of 4 years." The project is based on the philosophy that heritage l i ves, surrounds us ~11 and can only really be enjoyed through active participation. The Heritage Trails Network makes our heritage accessible to all members of the community and dispells the myth that heritage is the pursuit of a small minority. The story of Western Australia's cultural and environmental heritage is told through a clearly signposted series of 152 routes (within 95 trails), accompanied by informative brochures that provide a di verse range of recreational activities, from bushwalking to scuba diving. The trails' themes range from goldmining, railways, shipwrecks, timbermilling, agriculture~ ports, pearling, monastries, stock routes .... . . . to the multicultural nature of our heritage.

I would like to thank the many Broome residents who so willingly gave their time for interviews in connection with the North Australia Research Unit's project on small towns in northern Australia. The high level of interest · and co-operation demonstrates not just the open and friendly rural attitude that is a special characteristic of more remote places but it a1so indicates a desire by local people to communicate about the changes taking place within their community. A major aspect of a town developing as rapidly as Broome is the diversity of opinions people hold. This is inevitable as well as healthy because any progressive community will contain a variety of ·special interest groups. Next year it wi 11 be my task to pull my data together and publish a monograph. Copies will be forwarded to the local library and I wi 11 notify the residents of its availability through letters to the local papers and council. The impact ·of Broome's rapidly changing environment is seen to be beneficial in terms of the wider range of businesses, services and the more recently acquired recreational fac ilities. Improved educational fac- · ilities and opportunities are seen to be a key factor contributing to stabilising a · local population. In contrast, other groups find themselves marginalised and unable to tap into most of the new benefits. ' The rising cost of living is of concern to everybody and it appears to be acting as a deterrent to the future tourist industry, and hence the future of Broome. There is concern that if the thrust of development continues to be of the upmarket style, then not only will the simple and natural attractions of Broome be lost forever but the community needs will also remain secondary to the interests of develop ers. Two extremes were noted. At one level Broome has five star resorts yet a lack of footpaths and cycleways forces schoo 1 eh i 1 dren on bikes and women with prams onto dangerous .• and narrow roads . The sent i ment '. that residential public safety comes before tourist interests should be he eded. Suggestions that it is time for consolidation and evaluat i on appear sensible. There are many serious social issues which need a ttention and greater efforts should be made to address these needs . Local governments are being squeezed by both state and federal goverments yet are increasingly being asked to take on welfare r oles without additional funding . Therefore, there needs to be a joint effort between the local council and non - commercial interest groups to lobby for a more equitable share of ava i lable resources. A community worker would ideally suit this role. The closed nature of local counci 1 committee meetings and the secrecy surrounding negotiated deals with the other tiers of government, received considerable comment. A more open system of local government (as occurs in the eastern states) which allows for public participation i n the de -cision making process is a sign of a maturing council structure. With Broome set to become an international. tour ist dest i nation with a projected population o f between 10 and 20,000 in the next ten years, there is a very great need for a coastal national park which preserves the diminishing untouched remote environment. There exists the opportunity for al 1 local interest groups to benefit in a coastal park. Sacred sites can be set aside, the heritage trail can be marked, the unique ecol ogical environment can be preserved and all residents should have free access to camping and fishing sites - the major form of recreation men"tioned in my survey. Exmouth has an extensive national park and reef under the protection of CALM. It i s about time Broome residents had a similar asset. Furthermore , competition for tour i sts will increase as Exmouth develops and for those with their ears to the ground, they should have heard that many visitors from overseas as well as within Australia come to the north to experience the remote natural outback , not the artificial environment.

I fee I most concerned that our roads are not constructed In the long term interest of our community. All road construction contractors wi 11 tel I you that al I roads should be bui It on a stable sub base. This Is not the case in Broome where the Shire Engineer believes the qua I ity , of the sandy pindan base Is a suitable sub foundation ·tor our roads. The new Gublnge Road construction Is a classic example of what I mean. Although completed one month ago Gublnge Road tias already required maintenance after the minimal A SHOULDER rain in November. Imagine the consequences of the heavy wet this year. Up to now roads based on local gravel have stood the test of time. The shire introduced a policy In 1988 which precluded the use of gravel and are currently limiting their use to one source of crushed rock. Some of the new roads i.e . Charles, De Marchi and Dakas streets have already undergone extensive repairs. YOU HAVE WHEN YOU NOT HAVING A SHOULDER On severa I occasions I have approached members of the shire to out I ine some of these problems but have always had a negative response and eventual Jy felt there was no other option but to resign from the council as shire foreman. I believe inferior sub base was used on the Coconut 11 Wei I road and that 3 base course used. Usually It Is normal practice to use 6" base course material to seal on anything other than car park constructions. after the I ight showers on the 19th November, 40 metres of the edge of seal was washed away and I be 11 eve that the shire had to resort to gravel on the shoulders of that section to prevent further breaking away. On any part of the road the bitumen can be peeled off. The twenty ton roller had to be stopped after four hours of rolling as it was leaving wheel ruts in the seal. Because of the high cost of road base compared to other materials the qual lty of the road has been compromised as the bulk of the expense is taken up by the purchase of road base. HOLES BEGINNING TO FORM UNDER THE BEAGLE BAY ROAD. 4. �THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO NOT ALLOW FOR RUN OFf. I believe the cost of housing blocks in the new subdivision is~ higher than should be due to the road cons truction costs being so high. This is due in part to the very high cost of road base material used. As all rate payers contribute to the Shire I 1 feel they are entitled as should all other road users to safe well constructed roads and not a piece of bitumen that masquerades as a road. THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN ONE WEEK AFTER SEALING AND JUST AFTER OUR FIRST SHOWER IN NOVEMBER. Colin. L~~ The devestation at James Price Point has to be seen to be believed and makes a complete mockery of the Broome Shire Council's stated principle that it is not against conservation.. - t:DITORIAL During the week Ron Boucher (Health Surveyor) called on the Broome News to inform us of the va ndalism which took place at the Town Beach ablution block. Unfortunately t he photos were not ready by deadline so that story will be run next issue. Being the beginning of the school holidays and the nature of the vandalism it was generally agreed by us at Broome News the vandalism was caused by kids. The vandalism highlighted in this issue was NOT caused by kids. This vandalism was caused by supposedly responsible adults. COKINN1\ Christmas is a time for celebrations and festivities. The sudden death of Cqrinna Macintyre will dampen these somewhat throughout this community. She was only a young lady but her personality, her spirit, and above all her courage was an . . inspiration to us all. Deepest sympathy goes to her family and many friends from all of us in Broome. s. �- ADULT VANDALISM !

The submission was also presented to the Broome Shire Counci I by Counci I lor Di Marchi on 15 September 1987. Council recommended the submission to the Dept of · Land Administration on 9 October 1987. More recently, the area has been included in the proposed Dampierland National Park by the Kimberley Regional Planning Study (1988). In February 1988, the vital importance of this area was explained to the Shire Engineer at a special meeting of the Broome Botanical Society. The Shire Engineer agreed not to realign roads in the area without detailed consultation. In total disregard , of this, Alan Claydon, the Shire Engineer has proceeded over the last few days with both road widening and straightening of bends. Although funded by a Main Roads grant, the destruction of flora is in clear breach of M.R.D. guidelines, as set out in their 1986 pub I ication "The Importance of Conserving Roadside Vegetation" (TS-292). Serious damage has been sustained by vine thicket communities in particular over 4kms Immediately south of Price's Point. Species concerned include Native Ebony (Diospyros ferrea) & Mulindj (Glycosmis spp.) : rare flora at the southern I imit of its W.A. range.

KUNDANDo '* MUDUDOON ~ • I ~ • �ONE LOAf Of BREAD In the shady grounds surrounding the Broome Courthouse, Sister Michael Kelly was doing a familiar chore. She was handing out slices of bread and keeping a group of energetic children in line. Being of the order of the Good Shepherd Sisters she has devoted her life in Broome to the rearing of underprivileged Aboriginal children. Her deeds in rescuing children from neglect, violence and alcoholism are legendary. And to see a child uncared for and aimlessly wandering the streets of Broome sets a fire of anguish burning within Sister Michael. In a town where the dollar , rules so ruthlessly and levels of power and self indulgence measure success, to know Sister Michael is a privilege. In the Courthouse gardens that after noon the children with Sister Michael played games and ran races through the spacious grounds. Cries of delight came from areas shaded by mature trees that form one of the few ideal playgrounds around town. But its a place that would be even better if not for drunken vandalism and theft. If plants and amenities throughout the grounds aren't being broken they are being stolen. But the bent and battered trees, broken tables and chairs and empty grog bottles and cans regularly seen there and in similar public places are but symptoms of a disease going largely untreated in Broome. Unemployment, a lack of facilities and opportunities with . politicians that lavish themselves with spoils that come from wagging their tails behind big businesses as they remain blind to the needy. Sister Michael deals with such problems at a most grass roots level. As she was that day judging the childrens games and races in the Courthouse gardens. Courthouse Kirby. Gardens drawing by Mary As time went by the group was joined by other children wander~ng thro~gh. They recognised fami~iar, friendly faces, and like all kids, were keen for a game and a bit of fun. "The rule is", said Sister Michael, "Anyone breaking or damaging plants is out." One gaunt faced child arrived that Sister recognized as coming from a house of alcoholics. She said she hadn't eaten al 1 day. The fridge at her home only had space for beer and her parents apparently had l.' i ttle sp<;1-ce in their hearts for her. The only food Sister had with her was a loaf of bread. Plain, sliced with no butter. Over several hours the games and laughter continued and the loaf of bread was eaten. As night come down, Sister headed home with her own children, while the others wandered off in their own uncertain directions. In a town where juvenile delinquency is ripe and where social leaders with their heads in the clouds talk of million · dollar solutions, the price for some peace and happiness in the Courthouse gardens one afternoon had been a loaf of bread and a heart of gold.

We are a group of people who have found an alternative ..... a very exciting one ! We have applied for a grant from LGCHP ( Local Government Community Housing Programme) to build dwellings for single people. We have targeted single people because at present Homeswest does not accommodate single people in Broome and because the members thus far, fall into this category. In future, perhaps, we will apply for further grants to house · other people . LGCHP funding is granted to a sponsor organisation which will help us to design and build dwellings and will remain ultimately responsible for management and rental of these to suitable tenants. Eligibility for tenancy will be determined by housing need, Homeswest eligibility and commitment to cooperative ideals. However membership to the collective is open to anybody who is interested A co-operative is the people that make it up so they are its strength . Each member has equal input in the group. There is no President or Governing body. Decisions are made by consensus. That is, no decision is made until everybody agrees. This can be very time-consuming and frustrating but it is well worthwhile in the long run to know that we are supporting each other one hundred per cent. Each member is primarily concerned with working for the benefit of the whole group and individual satisfaction is achieved through this . We have been learning about many new things. E.g. various sources of funding and how to apply for them, land purchase and building procedure, lobbying individuals, community groups and Government bodies and much more . One day we will have somewhere cheap and secure to live but i n the meantime it is exciting and empowering to play an active role in creating that place. We encourage everyone who is inter ested to be involved. If that is you, contact Jo, Katie, or Vanessa , at McDaniels on 922419 for further details of our next meeting.

In Broome recenHy Smal I Business Minister and member for Kimberley Ernie Bridge , announced a $68,500 grant to the Broome Chamber of Commerce, to assist it with the encouragement of new and expanded business activities. Mr Bridge said the grant had been made through the Department of Employment and Training's Community Economic Development Programme, to help finance the activities of an Enterprise Faci I itator for the region. The Shire of Broome, members of the Chamber of Commerce and the Broome Tourist Bureau were also contributing to the project. Mr Bridge said it was an exciting initiative which was indicative of the West Klmberley's present bouvant economic situation. "Particularly pleasing is the fact that the project is a community initiative and signals solid confidence from local people in their region's development potential." He said the State Government was always ready to support local initiatives of this type which promised great benefits for the wider community. "My congratulations go to the Chamber of Commerce for having seized the initiative and for having worked hard to the point where an Economic Faci I itator for the region is now assured, "Mr Bridge said. GASCOYNt: NOT THE KEY The suggestion by Liberal backbencher Ross Lightfoot that the Gascoyne River holds the key to Western Australia's water supplies in the next century is absolute nonsense, ac cording to Water Resource Minister Ernie Bridge. Mr Bridge said the Gascoyne River's most 1 i.ke ly dam-site , in the Kennedy Ranges, was incapable of delivering more than one per - cent of the vast water resources of the north-west. The dam prospect was investigated by the Water Authority in 1986. The annual flow of the Ord River alone was 5,100 million cubic metres of water, while the projected maximum flow which the dam on the Gascoyne could catch was about 60 mi i I ion cubic metres. Mr Bridge said that Mr Llghtfoot's comments were not only I I I-Informed, but were also at odds with the Liberal Party's support for the North West plpel lne concept. The Liberals' Water Resources spokesman and Deputy Leaqer Richard Court had come out a few weeks ago with a strong support for the concept. Similarly, the Liberal Party's Kalgoorl le North Division was on record after Its recent Broome conference, as saying the North West pipe I lne was the best solution for the state's future water supply needs. Mr Bridge repeated that the plpel lne concept was being Investigated as an option for possible Implementation well Into the next century, and not for the state's short and medium to long-term needs, which were well In hand from conventional sources. /1/(}W 1ir /JROOIJJE !

This is a time in particular for children and ' we can ' c wair. to see their faces as they open their presents on Christmas morning . This can also be a traumatic time for young children so p Lease be very sure of what you have purchased for them. Toy safety is of the uttermost importance. All toys should be durable, washable, with smooth edges, and have no small beads or bells that could be swallowed. The average baby's grasp is strong and they are quick and persistent. Cuddly toys are best stuffed with old nylon stockings . Crumbed plastic foam may be unsafe as children push pieces up their nose or ears or may even choke if it is swallowed. Fur toys (because of the intense interest i n mouthing), are best deferred until he is older . Check the following points. 1/ Toys with small or loose parts are kept out of reach. 2/ Dangling ribbons or elastic are removed. Blind cords within easy reach are also dangerous. DRUGS CHt:APt:R The Federal Labour Government has negotiated lower supplied under the prices for a number of drugs Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. The Minister responsible for the Scheme, Mr Staples, said that from 1st December the price of 63 PBS brands would be reduced . Mr Staples said that many consumers would therefore P~Y less for their drugs from the beginning of December. Taxpayers also will save where the Government pays the full cost of these brands, for example, those presriptions that are supplied to pensioners." Mr Staples said that most major drug manufacturers had agreed to price reductions under the Governments new pricing policy, which I imits to 20 cents the price difference between various brands of the same drug. "The new pricing policy is expected to save taxpayers about $12 million in a full financial year, with substantial additional saving for consumers who are paying the full price themselves," Mr Staples said. ' 3/ Eyes in all toys are securely fastened (remove if in doubt). 4/ That squeaks in soft squeeze toys cannot be removed. 5/ That te.ething rings and rattles will not break or come apart. 6/ That there are no sharp edges or points. 7/ That toys are smooth Ly finished and free of splinters. 8/ That paint is lead free. (In Australia and U.K. only lead free paints may be used. This may not always be true of toys imported from other countries. 9/ All stuffed toys are in good repair and inspected regularly. Choking or inhalation of foreign objects are amongst the commonest accidents to children under 12 months of age. PLEASE HAVE A LOVELY SAFE CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY . NEW YEAR.

You may think that the biggest danger from a cyclone Is flooding, but for the SES Operations Room Staff, writers cramp Is the main hazard. Trying to keep track of Incoming Information, assess It, decide on action and Implement It, keeping track of Its progress, requires the fel I Ing of dozens of trees to produce adequate paper. Then a shredder to dispose of It. Recently, the Emergency Services Sub-Committee ran an exercise which simulated the Incoming and outgoing messages associated with a cyclone. Volunteers took up the tasks they expect to fi 11 when the cyclone arrives. Police, SES, Ambulance , Fire Brigade and Hospital ;>ersonnel took part. The Pol Ice Station was the emergency Operations Centre. According to our exercise scenario, an Intense cyclone passed close to Broome. Wind speeds of 200KPH were recored, and heavy rain fell. The exercise began with the winds abating, and the red alert being I lfted (a mistake - we should have left the town on alert untl I the wardens had a chance to check for damage, and make hazards safe). Straight away, the power station reported flooding. Within minutes, the hospital generator room reported the same problem. Whl le pumps were being located and despatched, a warden reported a block of flats had been demolished. Rescue crews and ambulances were sent to the site. Chari le Carters was be ing looted, and Its frozen food defrosting from the power failure. There were bodies at the airport blocks(where?) people Injured by flying glass at the Club , and SEC lines down. Despite the heavy rain, I lghtnlng set tire to a tree overhanging a wooden house. The fire crew , already rescuing people from the flats, had to be diverted to douse this hardy fire. The Pr~mler wanted a briefing. Bob Hawke rang with a $50- 00 donation. An anxious parent In Perth rang about her son somewhere In a caravan park. The media made nuisances of themselves trying to meet deadlines. Flooding ,closed the Derby Road near the One Mll e about five minutes before It was reported that a pregnant woman at the twelve mile was going Into labour. A message came In that the ambulance had been In a rollover, but as the ambulance had already reported Itself safely home, we took that to be a rumour. All these messages and more came Into the Operat ions Centre In 1 hour. Within, the various services worked out what to do, and the logistics required. Equipment, vehicles, food and personnel had to be moved around town (some only on paper, some In tact) and kept track of, lest we tried to send a rescue crew to two places at once. We bel Ieve we handled It wel I. Not perfectly, and during the debriefing a number of suggestions were made to Increase efficiency. Some were practical (I ike getting more space for · the operati on~ other room) will have to wait awhile. We are so keen to try out the new suggestions that we are holding a similar exercise soon. Thi s exercise has given us confi dence that we could cope with running an operati ons centre, and that our own communications systems work. If we wanted to go for a worst- case scenario, we cou ld have a complete power blackout, loss of telecom facl I ltles, and flooding of the Po l Ice Station, but perhaps we wl 11 leave these challenges tl 11 after Christmas. Or a genuine cycl one may present them to us before then. Whi le the membership of SES is over ten we stl 11 f ind that we don 't have enough people to' staff an operati ons centre (2 shifts) as wel I as field a rescue crew. If you are Interested in train ing as an SES volunteer, come along on Thursday nights to the Police Station at 7-30P.M. There wi ll be a holiday break for Christmas, but training wl 11 recommence on Jan 5. During the school holidays, Grneme and Don wl II be away. Ross and Barbara (92 1023) wl 11 be running the show In the meantime. Recently, the SES were able to erect a permanent VHF antenna atop a police mast at the Police Station.

The Bill will need the support of the National Party in the Legislative Council , and Mrs Henderson believes this support will be forthcoming. Legislation. to a.men.d the La.n.d Act to cha.n.ge the ten~re of pastoral leases has passed i t s secon.d reading in. the Legisla.ti~e Assembly_ In her speech to the House, Lands Minister Yvonne Henderson said the legislation provides for continuous tenure of pastorals leases as a means of providing greater security for the development of pastoral properties. The Government believes the legislation, which results from extensive consultations with pastoralists and other interest groups, will clear the way for properties to be developed to their full potential. "Continuous tenure should provide the incentive for long term management and care of the rangeland, including measures for rehabilitation and regeneration of degraded areas . " Mrs Henderson said. The bill also replaces the existing lease forfeiture clause with resumption and compensation des i gned to compensate pastoralists to the full value of their lease upon breach of lease conditions. Pastoralists will also be able to diversify their lease by cultivating special crops under special lease provisions included in the legislation. "The special lease arrangements will be possible provided that requirements of the Soil Conservation Act are met . " Mrs Henderson said . The Minister has pointed out that the legislation will cut red tape affecting the industry as it contains no requirement for minimum stocking levels or five year improvement plans. "However, the need to maintain native vegetation remains in the legislation" Mrs Henderson said . The legislation also includes special lease provisions to allow tourist developments on oastoral orooerties. "The continued viability of the pastoral industry is of prime concern to the Government and the new leg is1 a tion will pave the way for future security and development of the industry" said Mrs Henderson.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT RESIDENTIAL SALES COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL SALES BUSINESS SALES �SINGAPORE ANTS A PROBLEM Agriculture Minister Julian Grill said he was convinced the Government needed to act to counter Singapore ants in the State's north. He said that during a recent trip to Derby, he had been very concerned at receiving a number of complaints relating to acute problems the ants were causing. Mr Gri 11 asked the Department of Aglculture's chief entomologist, Dr Nick Monzu, for a report on the ·ants That report confirmed the complaints and showed the ants had been responsible for: . attacking infants in cots; . frequently damaging telephone cables; . damaging plastic products such as water bed mattresses and toys; . damaging freezers, especially thermostats, and other electrical products such as televisions, videos and radios; . causing power point failures. The ants fires . ' al/so had been Implicated In causing some Mr Grl 11 said that although the ants posed no agricultural threat and therefore their control was not within his Ministerial Jurisdiction he was deeply concerned about the safety aspects of the ants threat and bel leved the Government should be Involved In some co-ordinated action against the Insects. "Consequently, I have sent my colleague, Health Minister Keith WI Ison, a copy of Dr Monzu's report and have suggested that our agencies co-ordinate a strategy · to combat what appears to be a dangerous threat," he said. As Homeswest also is concerned about the problem and intends to appoint a consultant to r look at ways of protecting their large stock of houses in the North, I wl 11 Invite Housing Minister Pam Beggs to be involved in discussions." · Mr Grl 11 said that although these exotic ants had estab1ished themselves in many parts of the state, from Esperance to Kununurra, they only appeared to be a major problem in the North. The ants appeared to prefer foods containing protein such as meat and milk and fats but had an lnexpl Icable I iklng for plastic and rubber products which they actively attacked. • They could cause severe damage to electrical devices b!,,' stripping the Insulation off wires, thus causing short circuits and possible fires. The prob.lem was compounded by the fact that not only did they build numerous shallow nests In gardens and lawns, they actively came Indoors and formed nests In cavity walls and slml lar places. Mr Grl 11 said he was concerned for the health and safety of residents In the North and he believed coordinated 1action was needed against the pests.

I/ XAl-{JJ' gjOJRl/ The big night had arrived. the eve of December 25th and Father Xmas vvas psych Ing himself up for his big trip. This year would be busier than most due to the swell of. the western suburbs, and with the advent of computerisation the toy sacks wouldn't be so easy to sl Ing over his shoulder. None the less he was ful I of Xmas spirit, the old HO HO HO. So sitting back and relaxing he perused his road maps and checked the good/bad I ists, waiting for night to fal I. Meanwhl le in the kitchen Mother Xmas was busy fl 111 ng up h Is swag for the n Ight. She packed the usual vegemlte sandwiches and a flask of Iced coffee, plus some of her freshly baked · musell cookies. With that out of the way she sat down to watch the sun-set. The one her old man would soon · be flying into . By this time Father Xmas was sufficiently psyched, and pull Ing his boots on, he went to the kitchen to kiss the missus goodbye. The great moment had arrived at last. But as he took hold of his swag, he was puzzled by something small, round and hard Jutting out of It. He thought it could have been a muse I I cookie, but when he looked he saw It was an umbrella handle. "You,ve done well here girl" he said "But why the umbrella?" She smiled sweetly and replied "looks like It might REINDEER".

Hope to see you on the Tee Ball field in 1989. NIK WEVERS- �LETTERS KIDS P.O. HOX 470, HKOOPIE. KAVITifS On behalf of the P & C I wish to raise the question of the Mobile Dental Clinic. In 1989: we have been advised, that there will be no Mobile Dental Clinic if accommodation is not found for a Dental Therapist. Previously this accommodation was made available. Some 1,100 children aged pre-school to year 9 use the Dental Clinic for regular check ups, dental car~ and supervision and teaching of dental hygiene . The P & C wishes to make a strong public protest to the Public Health Dept. about this. We understand the shortage of accommodation in Broome but this is a service that should not be lost simply due to lack of government foresight. We urge the Government to solve this problem urgently. Finally we would like to thank Daphne Dillon for her time and effort with the Mobile Dental Clinic over the last two years and wish her wel 1 for the future. NIK WEVERS,. SECRETARY- n , -~ - Re Sue Gieson's letter (Vol 10/21) I could not agree more. Driving a tour coach around Broome is an absolute nightmare . The very tight "pretty" corners and parking? bays make the job very difficult to say the least, it is very obvious that the local engineer has never driven anything larger than a 4WD with power steering. Broome is the only town I have seen, after 14 (now 15) round trips where the traffic speed is limited to the speed of a bicycle due to the narrow roads and high kerbing. Futhermore the outer town roads are a total disgrace, I am sure the residents of ·Coconut Wel_ls : will agree. Sue has said most of what I wish to say, except I would not let the local engineer play in my Grandson's sand pit. He wo~ld bugger up the kids roads. I have worked on many construction jobs including the Nullabor and Halls Creek Roads but this town, for its roads and curbs is too sick to be even a joke. John. Somer-""V'"ille Coach.

' t VISITORS SCHEME ARRIVES IN BROOME • • I Another Abor I g Ina I VI s I tors Scheme, designed to minim I se the I Ike I I hood of deaths In custody has been launched, this time In Broome_ The Broome scheme was commissioned In Broome on Thuursday the 3rd November by Aboriginal Affairs and North West Minister Ernie Bridge. It fol lows the successful implementation of an Identical scheme In Kalgoorlie in July of this year. A third 'visitors' project arranged for Geraldton . wi 11 be launched next week and arrangements are underway for Its Implementation In metropol ltan Perth. A panel of 13 . Aboriginal men and · women who had been nominated by the Aboriginal community of · the Broome area, received their pub I le accreditations from Mr Bridge In a brief ceremony. Mr Bridge said the progressive implementation of the v Is Itors' Scheme has put Western Austra 11 a to the forefront of national endeavours to come to grips with the tragic circumstances of deaths In custody. Broome panel members would be aval Iable on a twenty four hour roster basis for visits as required to pol Ice lock-ups and the local prison. They have been carefully selected for their ability to relate to other Aborigines, observe human behaviour and provide comfort to detainees. The visitors would have a significant I lalson role between pol Ice staff and prisoners. Mr Bridge praised the Broome Aboriginal community for Its co-operation In establ lshlng the project. In particular the Minister commended the panel for having accepted the very Important responslbl I lty of providing comfort and support to people who might wel I be In desperate circumstances. "The Government shares the Aboriginal community's deep concern on these matters and trusts that making available people from their own culture will reduce · the like I Ihood of further tragedies." The Minister said the Kalgoorlle scheme has been Instrumental In preventing at least one death and possibly many others. Since July, there had been a marked decl lne In the number of pol Ice custodies and a significant Improvement In Pol Ice/Aboriginal relations. The Visitors' Scheme was recommended by the State Government's Interim inquiry into Aboriginal death's In custody, and quickly adopted by the State Government which !located $1.5 million for Its operations this financial year. Mr Bridge said responslbi lity for the scheme's administration rested with the Aboriginal Affairs Planning Authority which had I ialsed very closely with the Aboriginal community on the project's development. Procedures for the conduct of the scheme has been drawn up by an · inter-agency committee c~mprislng representatives trom the Aboriginal Planning Authority Pol ice Department, and Corrective Services. ' ' He said that in the development of the Broome, Kalgoor1le and Geraldton schemes great emphasis has been placed on involving as wide a cross-section of the 1 community as possible. · • "I bel Ieve the tragedies we are seeking to eliminate have their roots in deep social Issues, and that al I available resources need to be harnessed to stop them," Mr BridQe said. continued over-. - TANIA HOWARD SANDRA .

"The study is being produced by the Department of Land Administration which plays a central role In . the planning and development of Broome,"said Mrs Henderson. "DOLA Is the principal land developer at Broome and has moved quickly to meet the development needs of a community which Is experiencing an unprecedented tourism boom." Mrs Henderson said the Broome Structure Planning Study was based on a projected population of 25,000 people. "The plan which wl 11 boost the overal I growth and tourist potential of the town has been accepted In principle by the Shire of Broome," said the Minister. · "The Department Is waiting for a response from the Shire and local service groups before releasing the plan for public comment." The planning strategy was based around the probable relocation of the Broome airport. However, It also provided alternative options In the event of the non relocation of the airport. Mrs Henderson said the report suggested "the existing position of the airport on the peninsula posed a constraint on the future growth of the town. The relocation would al low expansion of residential, , commercial, tourist and recreational developments and create a more rational road system. Mrs Henderson said the existing airport Imposed I lmlts on the town's tourism Industry because of restrictions on the size of aircraft using the airstrip . . In addition, the location of the airport along the peninsula from Chinatown to Cable beach forced traffic to pass through the town's congested centre . Mrs Henderson said the strategy proposed to I ink the Broome access highway to the port area and give clear direction to traffic going to other destinations. · "The . plan also proposes to consolidate develop!~ urban areas Into well-defined residential neighbourhoods. Mrs Henderson said the neighbourhood centre concept ·would create a sense of 'community' In each locality rather than al low ad hoe resldentlal development. "The town of Broome has enormous potential for further growth and economic prosperity and this strategy takes Into account the needs at all levels of the community." DEADLINE 25TH NOVEMBER MOKt: POWER Broome "The Pear I of the North" needs more povver. Rapid expansion in the hospitality Industry and residential and commercial devel·opment has sparked the demand for electricity. To handle the town's demand, the State Energy Commission of W.A. (SECWA) will install an extra generator In the Broome power station. , It wlli boost by 18 percent the power station's installed generating capacity now standing at 11 megawatts (MW). Demand is expected to grow to at least 8.4MW by October 1989. The additional 2.2MW generator wl 11 ensure the security and continuity of supply to the popular destination. The cost of the project will be about $1 million. It wi 11 be finished in about 12 months. The generator wi I 1. be ·bought from Mt Newman Mining Company's power station at Port Hedland which clo,~ed recently. Broome has been expanding rapidly In recent years as one of the most sought after holiday destinations in Western Australia, especially during the Winter. New hospital lty resorts at Cable Beach and ' expansion of existing accommodation, coupled with residential and commercial land releases have pushed up power demand. SEXUAL AHUSt: The Government had acted prompt I y to protect eh I I dren from sexua I abuse. Minister for Community Services Kay Hallahan said at a seminar on chi Id sexua I abuse recent I y. It had overseen a major shake-up Involving important legislative changes, better training for those involved in dealing with child sexual abuse, and more resources for SlWQrt services. 'Children have a right to be cared for physically, socially and emotionally and it is the community's responsibility to ensure that they live and grow up lrJ enviroments that are safe, non-exploitive and that maximise their full potential,' said Mrs. Hallahan. An additional $452,000 was provided in the state Budget for 1938-89 to tackle this problem. The Government Is setting up a Child Abuse Unit within the Department for Community Services to co-ordinate the implementations of the recommendations of the Child Sexual Abuse Task Force and the substantial Government support which Is being given. _ ··· ' . �WEST KIMHt:RLt:Y, CHAMPIONS THE VICTORIOUS WEST KIMBERLEY TEAM AT KUNUNURRA AIRPORT WITH THE SHIELD.

You can walk into the shop too, If you want to. Rhys Ho I thouse. I think Broome should have a lizard exhibition because there are a lot of I lzards around Broome and It would be a great tourist attraction and we could use the money to make bigger and better things for Broome. S.R.GRUNDY I think that Broome isn't a very entertaining place for children at the moment. What it needs Is a sports centre or somewhere chi idren can go when they are bored. There a lot of children wandering around with nothing to do, I think it's about time Broome did something about It. Danae C I arke - What Broome needs is a new bul !ding where the old bul !ding across the road from the Continental Hotel Is. ' Knock It down and make a new bui Iding so It could have a new shopping centre that opens to tourists and the public. Have friendly people to run the businesses . I wou Id I i ke the shops to be Jeans West, Betts and Betts. Woolworths and Supa-Value and I think everyone will approve of It. Kathr Ina Fong. I think Broome should have a Sports Centre because there are always bored people walking aromd the town looking for something to do. Sadly, most people get so bored that they vandal lse Broome. So If Broome had a Sports Centre, I think al I people, young and old, would thoroughly enjoy It. We have a lot of sports people In Broome but sadly we have not al I of the faci II ties for all these sports, so I think Broome should start putting money into it now. We should make up a charity called Broome's Sports Centre. Ra Ina Courtenay. I think Broome should have more parks and places I Ike Adventure-world so when tourists come to Broome they have more places to go and so the people who ilve ·In Broome _have more places · to go to. Jarrod Crovvd, I think we all ,should make Broome much tidier because I have seen people who cut themselves badly and some people don't get better for a week. I should know because my Aunty cut herself and It was pretty bad. She went to the doctor to get a bandald on her leg and it got Infected. I think we should make Broome cleaner and no-one wl 11 get hurt. Kelly-Anne Irvine. I reckon the Pub! le toilet near the town oval should be cleaned up a bit because It's too dirty and there Is too much broken glass around and too many people write on the wal Is. · Brian Ward. In the future for Broome, I wou Id 11 ke Broome to be the seventh largest city In Austral la so It would have sky scrapers, a very, very big swimming pool open to public, buses, trains going too. I want a sports centre where Boxing and wrest 11 ng can be he Id and a b Ig sports arena where cricket. soccer, hockey and basket-bail can be played. Ben Husse I I . Broome wi 11 need a better bus system because when you grow up, if you don't have enough money to buy ·a car you will need a bus to get In and out of town. When tourists come they can't walk ail over town so they could use them too. Robert Boyd. I think Broome should have some fun things I Ike an Action Park and ten-pin bowl Ing so the kids In Broome can do more fun things apart from sport. Brett Sh I pvvay. I think Broome needs a pub I le pool with a waters I Ide. It wl 11 · give children something to do in their spare time. Heidi Muir. In the future there wl 11 be a lot of new people so It might be an Idea to build a public pool for everyone to enjoy. I think we need a publ le pool because there are dangerous stingers at the beach In· the wet season. Then no-one wl 11 go to the beach. At the Woodside pool you always have to book to get In. So, I think we should build a Public Pool. r any a Woevvod In. think Broome needs bigger shopping centres with more clothes and games and stuff. Also with more shoe shops and childrens activity stores. The shops should be as big as the ones in_Perth. I think we also need more shopping centres. Some of · them can . have book stores and stationery shops, with lots of pens and stickers and things. If Broome had all this I would be happy.

"Together with the spectacu,l ar tldal swirls of Walcott Inlet itself, the area is already a major feature of the Kimberley coastline and is rapidly gaining recognition intematlonally." Waterfal Is which ran al I year, plant species unique to WA and a range of fauna which had not changed since European settlement, were al I to be seen in the park. The rare and endangered Golden Bandicoot was there, Mr Dowding said. "The addition of this park's unique landforms and wildlife habitats to the State's already extensive national park and nature reserve portfolio Is a very exciting development."

The Western Australian Director of the Agency, Mr. Frank Everlngham said today that the seminar was aimed at providing a broad overview of The Agency and the obligations employers will face under the scheme. There Is a significant role to be played by employers and their acceptance and support of The Scheme is Important. Mr. Everlngham said one of the alms of The Child Support Scheme was to reduce chi Id poverty by ensuring that children receive from their parents the financial support that the parents are I iable to provide. He added that every possible assistance be provided to employers to ensure the success of the Scheme. Mr. Everlngham said that the Broome seminar would provide an opportunity to discuss the needs of employers face to face. He added that Mr. Bob Shepherd, President of the Broome Chamber of Commerce was providing assistance In organising the seminar. It will be held at The Overland Motel on Thursday 8th December at 7 .30 p.m. North Prov I nee Member. Tom Stephens has vve I comed a proposa I from the I oca I pr I vate sector that cou Id I ead to the construct I on. of a pub I ic pool In Broome. Mr Stephens was commenting upon a proposal from Mr Ted Schrader of 1st Prof. Dive Centre which would involve the construction of two public pools in the town. Mr Schrader has put up a proposal that Involves: (1) A 50 metre long x 10 metre wide x 2.2. metre deep public swimming pool. (2) A children's training pool which wl 11 be 10 metres long x 5 metres wide ranging from 40 ems. to 1 metre deep. The proposal is for a faci I ity on Hammersley Street .Broome as part of a diving centre - that would provide Diver training, boat charter and swimming pool facl 11ties. "Mr Schrader's proposal Is a worthwhl le concept," said Mr Stephens. "My only hope is that the local community will be attracted to the proposal. The centre has the capacity to offer another worthwh 11 e tac 111 ty for Broome which could be used by locals and visitors alike". "The opportunity for a public swimming pool for Broome is a bit hard to go past", said Mr Stephens. "The sea, while very attractive for much of the year is really quite unsafe In those months when people in Broome are most keen for a swim." "As wel I as providing those much needed recreational opportunities a diving centre offers local people training opportunities which could prove useful In their efforts to gain employment In the pearl Ing industry and In other jobs Involving diving." "I do hope that the Lands Minister looks favourably upon the suggestion for this land proposal to be included in the diving school projec,."

A cool Ing bath Is a great soother - no soap Is necessary. Frequent tepid bhths will help prevent prickly heat and are great after a hot pram or car ride, bouts of crying or lots of activity. Babies become quickly dehydrated when fluid lost from the body Is not replaced. If your baby's skin Is moist and he/she produces the usual number of wet nappies, he Is not dehydrated. But hot, dry skin Is cause for concern. Give drinks and do what you can to cool him/her Immediately. Seek medical advice If his/her condition does not Improve.

In the process, the water vapour donates its latent heat energy to the low, feeding it with more energy. So the process is self-Intensifying once it begins. Higher in the upper atmosphere, the rising air spirals outward, removing air faster than it flows in at the bottom. This results in a further fail In pressure, which accelerates the process. Yo~ now have a cyclone, ful I of wind and rain. They don t do much harm if they keep away from us, but if they wander close to land, then they can do tremendous damage to al I the objects we have put in their path. Ail cyclones have a virtually calm centre, or "eye", around which are the strongest winds. ThJs eye is typically 16-30km across. It, is surrounded by heavy banks of cloud. A ful I - s c a l e t r o p ical cyclone can re I ease In one day as much energy a s 400 tvventy megaton l,ydroge n bombs. They deserve our respect! Especially sin ce vve have no vvay of sto pp Ing them, or altering their c ourse. A li we can do to keep oursel ves and our homes safe is to be prepared. Then we need luck. Many Broome people rely on the luck and don't bother much about be ing prepared. Do you share that approach? With the expectation of plenty of cyclones around this season , this could be a good year for being prepared You need to do it now, not "l ater" when the cyclone is on top of you and your trees are dropping I imbs on your house. For a start, what do you know about cyclones? Where do they get ail that energy from? How do they differ from typhoons and hurricanes? Those are different names for the same phenomenon. So the devestation that centra l American and western USA recently endured from a hurricane is an example of what would happen in the North West if we had a big population. , You've probably seen the big wi I ly- wl 11 les you get over land on a hot day. They can give your car a shake, and a grandfather one might unroof a house. Cyclones have the same pattern of wind - that is, the wind moves in a spiral pattern winding in toward the centre of extremely low pressure, and they reach high into the sky. Wi liy-wl ii ies form over hot land. Cyclones form over the warm oceans (the ocean off Broome has been warmer than usual this year). Summer sun bearing down on the warm ocean surface evaporates water, creating a deep layer of moist air. As thi s warm, moist air rises in the centre of this " tropical low", it cools, ~1200111 v ~ =-~-7:'.~~- I I w lv'llf:lr 'CLO These features . make recognition of the eye fairly easy using sate I lite photos. But the top of the eye that is photographed may not be in I ine with the bottom, which is where the action is. Fortunately, radar gives a clearer picture at ground level. The radar waves reflect off the raindrops, so the radar picture really shows the rainfal I distribution pattern. This is usually the classic spiral shape, with the clear eye in the centre. Broome has Its own weather radar near the airport. The signals from here now go directly to Perth where they are computer processed and compared with the sate I I ite information. So once the cyclone is on radar (about 300km. from Broome), its position Is known quite accurately. Thereafter, the Met Bureau is prepared to give hourly updates. lncidently, the Broome Met. Office only provides information to Perth. They don't process It. They receive their information from Perth - the same Information you can hear on the radio. So they would prefer that you did not ring them during a cyclone - as scores of people have in the past. cont I nued over . . _ . �ctd. from prev I ous page. CYCWNt:S CTD. Ho~ can you tell If the eye Is over Broome? Well, You 11 be half deaf and scared because of the fiercest winds you've ever experienced: then abruptly It will be calm and quiet. The sky wl 11 probably be clear - but the birds won't be singing. Don't go outside to start cleaning up, because In 15-30 minutes those ferocious winds wi 11 be back, with no warning - and from the opposite direction. If you are outside when It happens, there's a good chance of being cut to pieces by flying debris. · What sort of winds are we talking about? Plenty of people from the south, n:iyself Included, have experienced winter gales of 120-150kmh. A mi Id cyclone may be no stronger. But cyclone "Lindsay" In 1985 brought winds of about 170 km/h to Broome. "Elsie" which crossed the coast at Mandora In Feb. 1987, was about 220km/h. "Tracy", which resulted In 65 deaths, had wind speeds of about 300km/h - they aren't sure, as the Instruments fal led. Keep in mind that doubling the wind speed doesn't double the force of the wind - It increases It tour times. So wind speeds of 200km/h are 4 times as powerful as 100km/h, and 250km/h are over 6 times as powerfu I . So how do you I ive with' cyclones/ The two main killers are storm surge and flying debris. I'll mention storm surge later. What constitutes debris? Sheets of iron off · roots and bul Iding sites, rubbish bins, coconuts, drums, pieces of caravan, tree I imbs, furniture, boats, I lght fittings, wood..... Anything loose has the potential to become a missile battering your house to pieces, providing more debris to batter your neighbour' s house, and so on. , If we remove all the potential missiles, we can live comfortably with cyclones. All those bul Iding specifications wl 11 probably enable your house to survive. If the air is ful I of rubbish, your specifications aren't worth much. So we rely on each other to remove those potential miss Iles. Maybe we can talk to our neighbours about what each of us can do to clean up, and we may be able to help each other lop trees or shift rubbish. Maybe you know where there Is rubbish on vacant land belonging to the Shire or a bullder or an Individual. If you think It Is hazardous contact the Shire Office. WI 11 your caravan survive? If the wind gets close to 200km/h, probably not. If Its not well tied down It may dlsintergrate much sooner. Once It does, it becomes a source of , missiles for everyone else's property downwind. Have you bought caravan tie-downs? Have you checked last year's to make sure they are still complete? 'If you want information on how to do It, see the Shire or SES. They can provide a pamphlet.. If you are going away over Christmas, make sure your vans and boats are secured. Have you lopped those tall trees In your garden? I know they Iook sad for a few months, but they' 11 grow back. Better a topless tree than a topless house. Those nice river redgums that grow so wel I (Euc. camaldulensls) are quite brittle ~nd drop limbs easily. Port Hedland takes treelopping quite to an extreme - and Broome takes It to the "she'll be right" extreme. Have you worked out how to survive a couple of days without electricity? A strong cyclone will flatten power poles: That means no I lght, power tor cooking, alrcondltlonlng, radio, refrigeration (in the shops too). Even the water supply could be disrupted. Have you candles, and batteries for radio and torches. Tinned food? Water containers? Gas cooker? A shovel (no water means no flush toilets)? Here's a hint for keeping your frozen food cold longer w lthout power. Fi 11 vacant space in your freezer early on with water - In containers such as wine casks. Not only does this 'ice "retain cold" in the event of power failures, they make the freezer more efficient and cheaper to run all the time . Have you worked out where to shelter during a cyclone. Ab caravan or tent Is useless. IJo you teel contldent a out your house. If not, now Is the time to check (with a builder or Shire Building Surveyor), not when the roof begins to 11ft. Have you decided where to shelter your pet snake? Have you considered the posslbl I lty of flooding? The roads wl 11 be flooded by heavy rain, but the lower end of town is at risk from storm surge. Storm surge Is caused by the exceptionally low pressures In the eye of the CY.Clone. The water level of the ocean is "sucked up" above normal. When "Althea" visited Townsvi I le In 1971, there was a storm surge . . of 3 .6m. "Tracy " was accompanied by a storm surge of 4m. Imagine what a storm surge of even 2m. would do on top of a spring t ide. Chinatown, • Hammersley Street, Frederick Street, the airport, Pol ice Station - they would probably al I be affected. A storm surge ki I led 500,000 people in Bangladesh in the early 1970s. l_n fact, more people die from the flooding than from the wind in cyclones.

Box 470 A VISITORS VIt:W My wife and I have Just spent a very enjoyable four days In your friendly and Interesting town, and I would I Ike to offer these views of an outsider (from Perth) on a few points that may Interest your readers. . Firstly, let me compliment you on your little newspaper, which I found fascinating and Informative. I hope you get al I the support you need to survive and thrive. Perhaps some of the hotels and motels can be persuaded to make complimentary copies available to their guests, thus helping both "Broome News" and the visitors, a few pages of helpful Information for to1,.1rlsts, some of which might be repeated In each Issue, could make your paper highly saleable In the tourist market. Accommodation In Broome Is excel lent, with facl I ltles like Cable Beach Club and Roebuck Bay Resort, to make only two examples. And their are some unique tourist attractions ranging from the ·Pearl Coast Zoo to the Pearl Factory - two features totally different In scale and appeal, yet both giving the tourist some,, thing Wei I Worthwhl le. An Important area which I feel could be featured for the benefit for both visitors and locals In the Aboriginal culture of the region. Noting Bridget's article In your October Issue, It seem there would be enou~ Interested people here to establ lsh at least a display of Aboriginal history and culture, perhaps progressing towards something more dynamic In the future. • A few smal I Items that I think would help make your town and Its environs even more attractive: - .A small map showing not only the townslte and approach roads, but Including Cable Beach, Gantheaume Point and the Port on the one sheet. Being In a "North coast town" which Is on a south-facing peninsular makes It a bit tricky for the new comer to get his bearings, especially ~s the sun seems to be vertically overhead a lot of the time! - Drinking fountains In the busier public areas of the town, and In every major tourist venue. Soft drinks and beer should be optional pleasures, not c9mpulsory necessities when you are thirsty. (And where are the publ le to I lets. Does everyone have to go to a pub?) - Jhe staff handl Ing visitors In most places here are very friendly and helpful, but so many of them seem to have "only been here thre~ weeks"! This Is probably Inevitable In a remote town, but It points to the need for very short faml I larlsatlon courses to brief these young people on the town and what It has to offer. The better tourism operators no doubt have their own staff training programmes In place already, but maybe a group of them could co-operate In setting up training sessions on "Broome for Tourists" for all staff In contact with visitors. Keep at It Broome!l'm sure you have a great future. Yours sincerely Don McDonald Ph.921826 A BIG THANK-YOU TO THt: HARDI Pt:OPLt: Here Is my 'thank you to the Bard I peop I e o.f One· Arm Po I nt for hav Ing me at your place.' I went to them as 'a Muslim woman from Rotl' the , Island of Indonesia nearest to Australia. It Is Just over the horizons edge. The Rotl people ·and the Bardl people have known each other for centuries and each had their traditional fishing areas. Now some of what were Rotlnese fishing areas have become Australian (maybe with oil exploration In mind?) The Rotlnese can't quite see why this should be so, to them traditional useage means right of useage. So there has been Incursions Into what are now Austral Ian waters. Trochus has been the lure for not only Rotlnese but also from Buton Island and other places In Sulawesl. All these places are VERY poor. Just one ton of trochus and 'Hassan' could say :"now my children wl 11 never go hungry again, now they wl 11 not die for lack of . medicine or hospital. Now they can be educated, now all the members of family will eat." However the people of Rotl be they Musi Im, Protestant or Cathol lc are good people. They have. decided to try to make fish ponds to get ~ food for the wet season. They wl 11 go no more to sea even for fish, except perhaps shark fishing. No more seafaring, no more trouble. They asked me to go and tel I the Bardl people this. Also to 'eat their bread• and ask them to come back and eat bread with the people of Rotl. Then we wl 11 be frl ends forever. It was a rather del lcate mission and I was not sure of my welcome. However the women saw It as I saw It - a woman to woman thing, and they reached out to me with love. I wl II never forget them. I hope some of them can come to ·1 Rotl. I assure them of a welcome. With thanks to all. Vonny He I burg. p.s. Actually, of course, I am Catholic not Muslim but 'we al I have Abraham for our father'. The Arab-Muslim people descend from Hagar, we from Sarah. /' / • 't l •' �We Now 8tock ~~~h Laboratories Products Broome's Leading Hair Salons Welcome to Broome!!

Does neighbourhood watch operate In Broome? If so, did anyone see a bookcase being picked up from the side of Cable Beach Road outside the Crocodile Park last Saturday (12th)/ Please ring me as the bookcase had much sentimental value and had only been left there for 2 minutes whl le I went for help to lift it back onto my trailor. Is there any honesty left? Perhaps the person/s who are looking after it at present would I Ike to return it to Kimberley Physio, Barker Street. Al I Pentl lovv (935488) t:MPWYMt:NT The State Opposition has recently been making some outrageous claims about employment gro~h and training $ervlces within Western Austral la. . These statements give no recognition to the very pos1Uve initiatives taken by the Dowding Government to increase emt>IOY.ment and training OP,portunitles to a11 western Austral lans and the significant improvements being made to TAFE colleges. The Government recognizes that TAFE Is a vital part of the skills development of WA's most valuable asset - its people. We have turned around an 11% decline In apprenticeships Inherited from the Liberal Government in 1982/83 to the point where there has been an average 7.8% growth In reg istered training for the last 3 years. Western Austral la now has more than 14,000 people engaged in Apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships and Traineeships. The State Government's 1988/89 budget al location of $117 million allows the Office of TAFE to Increase Its services in response to continued demand. Additional resources have been allocated for: - 2,000 additional student places to be made avai iable•; · - new TAFE facl I ities In Perth, Midland, Northam, Wern.bley and Carl Isle operational from January 1989;and - an additional 65 non-teaching support staff. This wl 11 comprise an additional 35 staff provided tor In the budget and 30 staff who w i 11 be re Iocated from a stream! ined head office. The situation In employment Is no less Impressive; - In 1983 youth employment peaked at 31.4% - WA now has the lowest youth unemployment In Australia, presently 14.3% (and this Includes people In ful I or part-time study that haye registered tor employment); - The highest emp loyment growth In Australia In 1987/ 1988; and - 140,000 new jobs s ince 1983.

Chief Seattle's reply, published here in part, has been described as the most beautiful and profound statement on the environment ever made. How can you buy or sell the s ky. Ihe wam1lh or the land? The idea is strange to us. Jfwedo not own the freshness of the a ir and the sparkle or the water. how can you buy them? Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. !::very shining pine needle. every sandy shore. every mist in the dark woods. eve ry cleari ng and humm ing insect is holy In the memory and experience of my people. The sap wh lch courses t11 rough the trees carries the memories of the red man. The white man's dead forget the country of their birth when they go lo walk amoni;r the stars. Our dead never forget this beautifuj earth, for It i:, the mother of the red man. We are part of the earth a nd it is part of us. The perfumed nowers are our s isters; the deer. the horse, the great eagle. these a re our brothers. The rocky crests. the juices In the meadows. the body he;il of 1hr pony. and 111:1 11 - all l>do11g lo 1111' s;1111c family. You mus! teac h you r ch ilctrcn Iha! !he ground lx·11cal h !heir feel is the ashes of your gra nd fathers. So that they will respec t the land. tell your ch ildren that the earth Is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children wh at we have taught our children, that the earth Is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. This we know: the earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth . This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one fam ily. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life: he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does lo the web. he does to himself. Even the while man, whose God walks and talks with him as friend to friend, cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. We shall see. One thing we know, which the white man may one day discover-our God is Ihe same God. You may think now that you own Him as you wish to own our la nd: but you cannol. He is the God of man. and His compassion is equal for the red man and the white. The earth is precious to Him.and to harm the earth is to heap con tempt on its Creator. The whites too shall pass: perhaps sooner than all other tribes. Contamlnateyour bed, and you will one night suffocate in your own waste. 13ut In your perlshingyou wlll shine brightly. fired by the strength oflhe God who brought you to this land anct for some special pu rpose gave you dominion over this land and over the red man. That destiny is a mystery to us. for we do not understand when the buffalo are all slaughtered. the wild horses are tamed. the secret comers of the fo rest heavy with scent of many men. and the view of the ripe hills blotted by talking wires. Where is the thicket? Go11<'. Where is th eagle? Gone The end of living and the• i>C'ginni11g of sutvival.

Vanessa Read MILLIYA RUMURRA COMMITIEE Broome Botanical Society The Society Is deeply committed to the protection of Important lacal plant communities especially deciduous vine thickets and gublnge groves behind Cable Beach. The former are at the southern I lmlt of their range in W.A. and are el lglble for conservation under the National Rainforest Conservation programme. The · Gublnge groves are the finest local stands of an Import- . ant and beautiful Aboriginal fruit tree, rich In Vatamln c. Despite submissions to Government, both the Gublnge groves and vine thickets face an uncertain future due to development pressure. Proposals for adjoining golf courses, utlllslng saline artesian water, could unwittingly result in tree extermination. The Society recently also presented a submission to Government, supported by the Shire, seeking protection for the outstanding vine thicket communities along the coast between Barred Creek and James Price Point, currently as a Pastoral lease. · Along the town foreshore of Roebuck Bay, the Society looks forward to developing a mangrove trall this year as part of a Heritage walk, utlllslng Bicentennial funding.

To create a Botanical Garden, displaying the fauna of NW Australia and comparable semi-arid areas overseas. 2. To encourage the conservation of significant areas of local vegetation, especially the establishment of reserves. In respect of the first aim, we are In the process of final Ising a land excision from Waterbank Station, near Coconut Wei I. It Is anticipated that the site wl 11 be vested in C.A.L.M. and leased by the society for a nominal rental . Our long term plan Is to develop the Inland area as a Botanical Garden and retain adjoining coastal areas of sand dunes, saltmarsh and paperbark thicket as a Botanical Reserve with a throughgolng nature tral I. In terms of the second aim, one priority Is to Improve scientific knowledge of the local flora. A number of members are assisting Herbarlum botanist, Kevan Kenneally with field and spirit collections, as well as undertaking photography and 1lne drawings of the flora of the DampJerland Peninsula. Already much valuable raw data has been gathered Including new species and numerous new records for the area. Members are also assisting Broome Nursery (C.A.L.M.) with seed collections from native plants of potential ornamental value.

One of the main alms of this group _Is to assist in the development of Arts and Crafts Industry In that the profits from the industry go to the artists and their communities. With the assistance of Bicentennial funding, the Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Cultural Centre was able t_o establish the first Aboriginal pub I lshrng house, Magabala Books. Magabala Books represents a positive action in tne face of pressure on Aborigines to discard Aboriginal Culture. Pub I lshing Aboriginal stories has given voice to tradition In a modem way.

On February 25th the. author of that first pub I lcatlon,Merrl lee Lands, opened the launch Ing of the 2nd and 3rd book titles, 'Jalygurr - Aussie Animal Rhymes' by Pat Torres and 'The Story of Crow' by Pat Torres and Mackle Wiiiiams.

"Pat Torres left her people to learn to read and write. She came back to our community a University Graduate. Her tireless commitment and devotion Is an Inspiration to al I of us.

Eng I neer' s Report Pear I Ing The Shire Engineer's Report covered details of construction works being undertaken by the shire. The Shire Is working on road and drainage construction at the Cable Beach Sub-division, Stage 2. They have commenced building a new road, Murray Road, which wl 11 al low for the release of six tourist development sites Immediately south of the Crocodl le Park. Lullfltz Drive Is being constructed over . 440 metres, and Ml 11 lngton Road, over 780 metres. The funding for these two roads Is coming from the Australian Bicentennial Road Development Fund, personal ftrldlng, developer's funds, as well as from the Shire. The town oval and concourse reticulation system has been overhauled. In response to a request from S R Amusements to book the concourse area from 24th to 28th May, the Engineer suggested that a bond be Imposed to cover damage to sprinklers which might occur. At the meeting, Councl I agreed to Impose a bond of $500 on amusement compan Ies and c Ireuses requiring the use of the concourse, to ensure that the .cost of replaclng any broken sprinklers Is covered. Library Leases The Shire wrote to the Pearl Ing Industry Review Committee at the end of last year concerning .a submission they had rece Ived from the LI censed Pear I Producers Association. The Association wished that every attempt be made to extend the lease periods for farm and adjoining land areas, to a much longer term. This · would reflect the long term Investment In modem pearling operations. They favoured a 21 year lease with an option of a further 21 years. The Shire endorsed the Association's request, as they bel leved · that companies could not be reasonably expected to commit themselves to large financial Investments, without adequate security of tenure. The .Pearl Ing Industry Review Committee rep I led on 29th January, stating that the comments would be considered 'before a flnaJ set of recommendations Is formulated." Schoo Is In Broome The Education Department wrote to the Shire on ·9th February, In reply to the Council's letter about future school bul Iding programmes In Broome. The main points of the Department's letter were: 1. That preliminary planning on the proposed Weld Street site has commenced. It Is Intended to upgrade the facl I Ities and provide permanent accommodation for 380 to 400 students. Whl le no definite tender date Is currently available, the work Is expected to begin early next year, "subject to the avallablllty of funds". 2. It Is proposed to establ lsh a new primary school In Residential Neighbourhood A, In about 2-3 years. The heed for a new school wl 11 ~ reviewed later this year. 3. It Is lntendeq to provide extra pre-primary centres In conjunction with the work at Weld Street, and at Additions The Library Board's 1988/89 Development Programme has given Broome Library an al location of an extra 1500 books, after June, 1988. The Shire Librarian, Mr Stefan Jordanoff, expressed concern that the extra stock would need to be housed In the present available · space. This would reduce the area now used for studY and children's story sessions, etc. He also noted that the additional stock would stl 11 leave Broome short of It's entitlement for a population of 6,500. He observed that consideration needs to be given now to the future of the service. Any building programme should be based upon an estimation of Broome's population In 7 to 10 years. The. council agreed that the Building SllVeyor and the Librarian discuss the extensions.

It was suggested that encouraging people to five In Chinatown would help · to revitalise . the area, which once had more than 3000 resider.its. Councll lor Telford, as Chairperson, said that the .

However the company proposes one 18 hole course, with the first 9 holes In the northern section". Steps were currently being taken to gain a flnal clearance from the EPA and they have discussed the proposal with officers from the Lands Department In Perth. Plan · 2 The Shire was sent copies of the Coastal Management Plan by the Environmental Protection ·. Authority, on 29th December Iast year. The Author Ity ·asked the Sh Ire · to reply when It had an opportunity to consider the plan. They also wished to know when the Shire believed It should be released to the publ le. Cable Tourist Austral Ian City Properties wrote to the Shire on 29th January regarding their proposed golf .course. The company said they had been discussing the golf course with the Environmental · Protection Authority over the last nine months. They had also · commissioned their own er.wlronmental Impact study. This, together with the most recent plan for the golf . course layout, was to be sent to the Shire. Essentially, they wrote, ·the study had reached the fol lowing conclusions: a. A high standard golf course could be easily fitted Into the aval Iable land between the road and the dunes. b. 1.t was quite feasible to grass the golf course using untreated groundwater · obtained from our bore. c. This could be undertaken without any adverse affects on the environment. d. Controlled access to the dune system and .the beach resulting from the golf course wlll be beneficial to the environment and wl 11 ensure that the entire dune vegetation Is less disturbed than Is presently tt:ie case.

The Bureau wrote: "Whilst the park ·has the right to refuse entty, and the Bureau would not expect any park to admit undesirables, there Is a need to ensure that parks are not too selective." . Whlle there are proposals which do plan to cater for budget travellers, Broome . needs to encourage the good will of all visitors.

This led to a visit to Mllllya Rumurra by the former Housing Minister, ·Keith WI Ison. Mr WI Ison made a commitment at the time to assist the centre's housing needs. "This offer of help was In recognition of the c>ulstandlng work and progress that had been made by the Mllllya Rumurra group In the fleld of Alcohol Rehabllltalon." The new accommodation has been ·constructed In such· a way as to be ab Ie to accommodate three 111 es and offer each family some private space, Including outside verandah area with shared dining, kitchen and bathing facllltles. The whole concept was to allow each faml ly to fol low a fairly Independent" existence from other house occupants during the period of their need with this rehabll ltatlon centre accommodation.

The W.A. Pollce Crime Prevention Bureau, phone 2221111 has produced a number of excel lent publications on home and personal security. The Bureau Is always available to give free advice to Individuals or groups on all matters relating to crime prevention. Housebreaking Is a crime more often committed by opportunity than by design. Housebreakers are not highly ski I led calculating people: most are unskilled and under the age of 18. They select their victims at random, often In their own ne Ighbourhoods. Householders are therefore there own best defence against housebreaking. Most offenders wl II not tackle well llt areas or secure locks because both create too much risk of detection. Most housebreaks occur during daylight hours, usually between 9.30am and 3.30pm when homes are vacant. Unlocked doors and windows, open garage doors signalling empty homes, uncollected mall or other deliveries, and other signs of temporary or long-term absences make it more 1lkely that a housebreaker wl 11 choose your home Instead of someone else's. It Is a relatively easy matter to take your own precautions and If you are not already In a neighbourhood watch It Is relatively simple to combine with your neighbours for mutual protection In times of absence. If street I lghtlng Is inadequate, one good external light may prove an Inexpensive Investment, particularly for women I lvlng alone. Al I doors have locks, but not al I locks effectively discourage housebreakers. The pol Ice strongly recommend double-keyed deadlatchlng locks. They also have years of experience to convince them that key-In-the-knob latches and night latches are Inadequate for security. Solid doors are more effective than hollow-core doors, and security screens designed to deter housebreakers are better than those equipped only to stop fl Jes and mosquitoes. If you are prepared to spend the money to keep a mosquito out, you might as wel I spend a little more to keep a thief out. Secure peepholes offer valuable protection, particularly to single women. In the Broome cl lmate It Is natural that people want to keep windows open but It Is amazing . 17 that they wi ll add no security either to windows or window screens. Inexpensi ve and effective security . devices are aval Iable and the Crime Prevention Bureau Is happy to advise about them . Most of the secur ity you need in your home you can Insta 11 yourse If at reasonab Ie cost - or better st 111, have it Installed when your house Is being bu ilt. If you do employ a person In the security Industry to carry out work at your home or business premises, make sure you are dealing with a licensed security agent. Finally, If your secl!rity measures fal l (or your lack of security catches up with you, which Is more I lkel y) an·d you find yourself under the same roof as a housebreaker, do not turn the cr ime Into a physical confrontation. Introduce, noi se and I ight to the scene to let the offender know he has been disturbed, but don't get between him and his escape rout~. In most cases It Is better to let an offender escape and leave his arrest to the poli ce (giving as much assistance as you can) than to turn a burglary Into a crime of violence. Housebreakers are not necessarl ly strong or brave, but If trapped can be desperate and therefore dangerous. �&GLOSSY _;;::::.__ PRINTS BIG _ ·HOUR PHOTOS ) BROOME PHARMAcv· SHOP 7, PALM COURT ARCADE HAMMERSLEY STREET, BROOME (diag. opp. Court House) "We Care About Quality" Elleker ladies' & Gent's HAIR S.ALON We Offer You Personal and Complete Hair Care A Beauty Therapist is Available by Appointment WE SPEClALIZE IN @REDl<EN PRODUCTS DAMP.IER OPPOSIT E TERRACE, SWINDLES fB OPEN 7 DAYS A WE~K F:'ROM s_ooa.xn �aware of · two Aboriginal Alcohol Rehabi I itation Centres ceasing service -one in W.A. and the other in the N.T: In both cases lack of a strong Involved Committee was cited as grounds for ceasing funding.

On Wednesday. March 30th. Ml 11 lya Rumurra vvl 11 be holding the Annual General Meet Ing for the organ I sat I on at 7pm at MamabulanJ In Resource Centre In Dora St_ Al I members of the pub I le are urged to attend, and we would strongly encourage Aboriginal people to stand for our committee. All too often Aboriginal Substance Abuse, especlal ly alcohol Ism gets put In the 'too hard basket'; people think If they ignore It It will go away or someone else wl 11 deal with It. Everyone in Broome is aware of the extent .of alcohol abuse in our town, which attects Aboriginal and European al Ike. There are people working either In a salaried or voluntary capacity, either to attempt to curb the extent of substance abuse, support fami Iles • and assist the · alcohol dependent to find sobriety. Unfortunately these people form only a minute section of the overal I population; for them to Increase their effectiveness they need the support of the whole community. A community person can be of great support to these people by becoming a reliable, working committee member · for an organisation such as Mllllya Rumurra. A person considering taking up a place on our committee does not need to possess any level of expertise on substance abuse, merely an Interest. The role of the committee member Is to support the existing staff and assist with lobbying to secure Improved facl 1ltles and funding arrangements, and flnai'ly to assist In ensuring the smooth and effective operation of a community based organisation. In common with other Aboriginal organisations, It Is Impossible to work exclusively in the area of special Interest which you serve. Committee and Staff members become Involved in Broader Issues of significance for Aboriginal people such as land, legal, health and welfare Issues. As a result It Is a good opportunity for people to become involved at a' ~ommlttee leve~ as you can thereby assist Aboriginal people on a much broader base than Just the alcohol dependent population. Over the Iast year M1111 ya Rumurra has been Inv i Ived in several major Issues relating to Aboriginal people. Firstly Ml 11 lya Rumurra was selected as the Co- ordinating body on the Kava issue to support the Broome Kava Committee (see article this Issue) and secondly they were active contributors to the State Interim Inquiry Into Aboriginal deaths In Custody. Thirdly Ml 11 lya Rumurra has actively supported the Broome Women's refuge Group, In their endeavours to establish a 'safe house' for women and their children in Broome. The Committee acknowledged that alcohol Is a significant contributory factor to domestic violence. In the coming year al I Alcohol Treatment Services are being nationally reviewed. Putting things very simply, the services found to be non-effective will have thetr funding withdrawn and It will be re-allocated to other services. Just in the last year we have become GOVERNMENT GRANTS North Province member, Tom Stephens, has announced the al location of $121,900 from the 1988/89 "Country Sport Ing and Recreat Iona I Facl I I ties Fund" for add I t Iona I commun I ty recreat I on facl 1 ltles associated vvlth the Broome DI str I c t HI gh School site. Mr Stephens said that Sports and Recreation Minister Graeme Edwards has today approved the forward commitment of these funds from the State Government <;;RF, which will be available to the Broome Shire after July 1, 1988. Mr Stephens said that the early commitment of these funds would enable the project to get under way at some early stage. The project Involved changerooms, oval, hard courts, bore and reticulation, car park, cricket nets and oval fencing and lighting. The project Is Jointly funded by the State Education Ministry ($371,900), the Broome Shire Councl I ($300,000) and the State Department of Sport .and Recreation ($121,900). Mr Stephens said that he had detailed discussions with Mr Edwards outlining the community's need for these sporting and recreational facl ii ties. Not only were they needed for the schol purposes, the wider communi~y was most anxious to see this project under way. Mr Stephens said that he hoped to have Mr Edwards visit Broome later this month as part of ·a trip to a number of population centres In the remote part · of the Pl Ibara and Kimberley regions.

Vivienne asked, as she wove her way amongst the partying bodies throughout the house. She hadn't seen Lii tor quite sometime, and was beglnlng to worry about her. She stopped outside the bathroom door and knocked softly. There was no answer, but Vivienne could hear sounds from within, so she knocked again a little louder, calling Liiiian's name. The sounds stopped for a minute, then Lii llan called out, "1' 11 be out In a sec, Viv. Just hang on." "It's okay. I was Just looking to .. you."

It's Just the .'b.Qoze. In fact I think I'd better have another drink. Come on, let's go and Party!" Vivienne leaned back against the side wal I of the bathroom, with her eyes closed. She could hear the tap running and the splash of water. She thought about the 'big day' tomorrow; how pleased she was to be In the wedding party; how pleased she was for Li I. She knew how much Li I loved Jackson, and how long she had waited for this day. She envied Li I the excitement of the actual wedding day. She envied LI I the luck of having a great guy I Ike Jackson to love. However, when she really thought about it, she did not envy LI I marriage Itself. She had too much to do and see and be, before contemplating being anybodys wife! She hadn't told LI I this; in fact had hardly admitted It to herself before this; but, If Kirk thought they were headed down the same track as LI I and Jackson, . he had better think again! The opening of the door and the sight of Lii's red rimmed eyes brought Vivienne's thoughts to an abrupt end. "Sorry I was so long;' said LI II Ian, turning her face away from Vivienne. Lii i ian walked ahead with a fore~(}. ·but dazzling smile on her face, and Vivienne 'fpflowed, frowning slightly, wondering about Lii's crying. The rest of the afternoon and evening went off wel I. LI I I Ian certainly looked as though she was having a 'ball'. They played crazy games, drank a lot, ate a lot, and laughed a lot Presents were opened and congratulations and advice flowed freely. . It was about 6pm wt)en the phone rang, and Vivienne. answered It. Amidst the nol.se of talking, music and glass clinking, from both ends of the phone call, she managed to hear Jackson asking to speak to LI II Ian. "Here Lii. It's Lover Boy. He can't wait 'till tomorrow!" LI I ilan who was wel I on her way to being quite drunk by no~. picked up the receiver. "Hello? Hello Jae. What are you up to? Drunk yet?" "Hey, Babe. Me? No way.

Mr Stephens said that he understood that Australian Airlines were reluctant to purchase East West Airlines because It would Involve the Introduction of F28 Aircraft Into their fleet. At the moment Australian Air I Ines do not have F28 aircraft. "Already," said Mr Stephens, "Port Hedland Airstrip Is capable of taking the Austral.Ian A Ir 11 nes' a Ircraft. A II that is needed is for the Karratha Airstrip to be Immediately upgraded and then Australian Airlines can operate Into the two major Ports of the Pl Ibara." "There are tremendous advantages for the local people In this. The larger capacity aircraft could presumably have some Impact upon the potential for reducing the cost of airfares Into the Pl Ibara region. If the Derby South Airstrip In the Kimberley Is the eventual option pursued by Federal Government, then Australian Airlines should be able to operate Into the Kimberley region through the Derby township as wel I." Mr Stephens said that residents In the North West wi 11 be looking forward to developments In the area and he has been urging the Federal Government and the State Government to act quickly to ensure competition continues Into the Pl Ibara region and that competition Is introduced Into the Kimberley region as soon as practicable. Mr Stephens said the difficulty Is In the situation where changes are occuring with the decl lne in services provided by East West that al I sorts of rumours are rampant. Mr Stephens said that he· had heard suggestions aircraft that Air New Zealand was wanting to operate Into the North West of the State, but had not yet been able to establ lsh whether there was any truth to this suggestion.

VANDALS PUT PEARL OYSTER RESEARCH IN--JEOPAR.DY smashed sixty Vandals have oyster she I Is that vvere to research at be used for oyster hatBr9ome' s ' pear I cherry. . . This, along with three other Incidents of vandal Ism· and theft, has severely set back experiments, Just when researchers have gained success after many years of hard work. • Researcher, Dr Bob Rose, says that the oysters, which did not contain pearls, were taken from the Jetty by a boat and then smashed at Entrance point. He bel Ieves that the shells were smashed for their meat by Inexperienced people, because usually a cal I Iper or knife would be used to lever ooen the she I I. He said, "petty crime I Ike this has serious ramifications · oo · the pearl oyster propagation programme, because a lot of hard work Is destroyed. We are running a tight budget, I Ike any research, and some of our oysters are on loan. We hope to achieve further spawnlngs before the end of this segment of research, however, we can't be compromised by people continuously upsetting our breeding programme." The temporary experimental hatchery, set up by · the Fisheries Department,, Is part of a pearl oyster programme where studies Involve the artificial prooaaatlon of the pearl oyster seed. The fleld . station Is located In the goods shed at the end of the Jetty. The researchers, Bob Rose and Shayne -Baker say that for convenience for their experiments It Is necessary ·:o hang some oyster shells from · the Jetty, · and they. 29 are appeal Ing to the pub I le not to tamper with tne shells. But despite these setbacks, the te8{Tl Is elated at their recent success. For they are the first Australian researchers to · successfully breed In captivity the silver lipped pearl oyster. By modifying techniques appl led to edible oysters and scallops, fertilised pearl oyster eggs have been r:eared to .their Juvenile adult stage (spat). After successfully cultivating' the larvae for three to four weeks they metamorphlslsed and settled. " The · oysters are now three months old and Dr Rose says that the mortality rate has been minimal. The Iargest of the spat bred are between three and four centimetres. Dr Rose said, "the sett I Ing of the oysters Is a . major break through that Justifies the Goverrment's expenditure." · He says that the Japanese are the only other oyster pearl producers with this knowledge. The Sllver-llpped pearl oyster Is the world famous produCt of the south seas. By al I appearances, the artlflclal propagation of pearl ·· oyster seed could be the answer to Australia's llmlted stocks of pearl oyster shell, the escalating costs of col lectlng natU'al oysters and the sporadic. outbreaks of mortality at oyster leases. When the technology and rearing protocol have been refined, the pearl Ing Industry wl 11 be asked to consider the feasibi llty of using artificial" rearing techniques as part of the standard procedure for culh.ring pearls.

Traffic danger Dear Ed, On ABC radio recently football spectators have been urged many tjmes NOf to drink al-cohol while watching the football. Today's jntervierz with Pofice Officer Tony Ferguson covered the use of abusive and loud language errployed by Tean Officials etc as weIL as spectators. To quote George Manning I o<ploded in my "weeties". I am writing th-is letter as a result. I'b doubt it's bad at the football- but what about disorderly conduct down at Torsn Beach. During the recent school holidays I regnrlarly took my kids and sorre of thejr friends to To^rn Beach for a stsim . Often for a pi-cnic and a chance to run off sone excess energy. A group of peopfe sitting there in the shade on the wooden benches, drunk, fightiag and foul language for all to hear. If it had been a one-off I probably woul-d have thought nothing of it horrrcver every time we went to Town Beach - sare pnoblerns. I have no argument with the latrv, and I do not want to offer an opinion on abusive language, drunkeness or fighting iJl pr:blic. the football, But : if itls not allo^7ecl at vrhy is it allowed at Town Beach? AI{tlcY'm MOI1IER To the Editor As I sr4port and vote for the l_ocal cor.rncil I was wonderi-ng if I could get sone sq)port regardi.ng the Ganthear-rne Point Road.

The nrain tifite for worry will be over the time of our local race ror:nd when the traffic wil]- be treblefold Ihe turn frsn Reid Rd into Woods Rd is a curved corner and extrenely dangercus. I canrt see wlry they canrt take the C,antheauune hint Road th:ough to Port Drive where it originally went through for years. This would be away frorn the built up ar€a where on Reid Rd and.Woods Rd nearly e\Ery house has snall children who I thirrk wil-1 be endangered havi-ng the road where it is.

CONTINUED OVER �PAGE 4 - IHE BROCT\4E NEWS, JUNE 1991 Machinery utilisation Dear Edl_tor, John Fordrs ccnnents in his colrnn Svyeet, and Sor:r in regard to the util-ization ofi of various Shire p1ant. You are quite correct in salring that no machine real-ises 100% util_i_sation even in a crcntract situation. The Shire is not in a contract situation, it is, or sLrould be, a service to the ratepayers and ccnnnrnity alike. To enable these services to be availabl-e the Shire, if it is to survive, nn:st take on sorne contracts to fi:nd services such as parks and gardens, cxzals, tree planting and mailtenance of and building roads. The governnrent funding for road works over the year:s has diminished drastica11y. The SLrire does encourage sub-contractors on earth works, culverts, drailage, paving and these are nnilly local people, locai conqranies. I like you believe the Shire shoul-d not compete unfairly' with Iocal enterprise. But bearjlg in mind the heavy charges inflicted upon the public by some are we to endure further heavy rates by panderilg to a few big busiless men who want a nronopoly on the focal machinery market? That they might buy the Shire nechinery at tcry cost and make their millions developing the nelv Broqne airtrrcrt and all_ the subdivisions that go with it. On every subdivision contract the Shire has made a profit (letts not becorne involved in the Cable Beach drainage at this stage) and the worknanship has been better than most contractors due to the rren operatjlg the machinery. It is certainly wise to l_ook carefully at the viability of so{re Shire nnchinery. For instance the Shire D6 bulldozer may not be clocking up big hours but it is very often the only bulldozer available. It is needed for wideni-ng roads, pushing up pindan pits and many numerous small but essentia-l- jobs. No contractor will_ l-eave his contract to do a fsr hours work for the Shire. The value of tml-s and machinery is their availability to be on the spot when needed, wLrether by the Shire or small loca1 businesses. When one experiences the state of roads such as Lul-lfitz Drive, Coconut Wells, Gantheaume Point and the Leveque Road at least to the Wil-Iie Creek turn off one wonders, is the public receiving the senrice it deserves? are we really catering for the tourist traffic to these points? What is the point of the hospitality industry spending big money if tourist and locafs cen't trgvel these areas in safetv? ' The gardens and parks are a credit to the rr'orking men who tend thsn. The men on the hearry machlnery are more than willing to g:.',.e good service to the connunity. Are we to have prj-r-a::-setion with resultant higher costs, fs*'er <::-.-.:es and even more loca1 people on the dc_el U.A.WIIIELY Courthouse's future Dear Editor, Reading through the "Shire S::akedovm", I note the Brocrne Tourist Bureau iES approached the Shire in writi-:rg regarding transfer of the Bureau to the Co'.:rthouse, when the new Courthouse building :s fi-nished. The Shire advised there are a long fist of interested parties and -jlat the Bureau's letter would be referred to the Crown Law Departrnent. Hopefully there wi}l be full-, ouclic and open discussion and consultation cn this. I donr t kno,{ such details as: ti'ne frame of new Courthouse bui-1dilg, orrrership of the building and so on but surely the future functions of the Courthouse is irnportant to everyone in Broonre. I\c doubt the Courthouse building woufd make an excellent Tourist Bureau. Many tourist br.rreaux are Iocated in historical build.j-ngs Or as the old Broqne Tourist Bureaur ln an old plane! The Museum will- eventually need npre space (rnaybe already! ) and we no longer have the Shire Art Gal1ery. Ird like to see the Courthouse converted into a MuseLrn as a centre for historical information and exldbits; and as a centre for the Arts in Brocrne.

Everyone around Brocrne enjoys a diScro, but there is no one that can give up their nights to keep the kids off the streets. I wish sofireone would do scrnething Uke hold more discors, or open the Drop In Centre for a cotple of nights a week at l-east.

An irynrtant issue which rernains unreso.Ived is whether road grants will be totally absorbed with general purpose qrants.

JUNE 1991 G.ITIItrIED FnCl{ PFE\i|IOUS PAGE fire two men debated the exact terms of the Petition and hqr they should influence the flcrvy of tLre Meeting. The President invited Mr Dureau to inspect the origJ-nal. Mr Ford requested the use of the micrcphone to address the meeting. He referred to Council's accounting procedr:res and "...the fact that in the 1989 accounts several iterns had been omitted, hor,vever Councillor MaIe had reported that the books were in good shape. In the fotloring year the atditor again noted tftat cnmissions had occ-urred, and noted "closing off procedures were very poor." He considered that any organisation involved with the hardlhg of public rrcney should be nrcre professiona1... " Mr foad noted that '...2 years ago it becale coflrlrcn kncwledge that Council, could not nreet its loan repalzments, and had a $500,000 shortfall. When this was queried at the Annual Electorsr Meeting they were told. that the loans were running at 6Z and )Du would not expect the Shire to repay thsn. He said that the bank limit was three and half times over the limit, and that Council had been, unable to make trEyrnents at L2L6Z, but had made interest payrnents on loans nrnning at 6-10.82. Of the Financial Statenents, Mr Ford suggested several errors existed. Ttrey stssed a cash deficit "...of $315,909.25, but this yearrs brj-ngs forward a balance of $233,125 $72,656.08 has suddenly atr4:eared frqn sorE- , oners bottcrn dravver." He believed the inconsistenci-es were a cause of concern to many Broqne residents, and that the petitioners had felt the need for a special neeting to clarify thern. The President agreed t}Iat Council had a deficit of $315,909. He also said that the figures with him would "... prcve to the electors without the least shadow of a doubt, that thrls Council had this year ITDre than picked up the deficit, and that if a Council was able to acconplish that in ttris day and age there is nothing wrong with the managerrent of that Shire Cor:ncil.rr As Mr Ford did not ask a specific question, the nEetjng passed on to ttle auditor, Mr Wallace, to outline hovr he onducts the audj-t. He said the Council adopts its builget in August on the basis of the accounts prepared then. The audit was conducted at the end of October. "Sqre anendnents to the original accounts had to be rnade,' which salv a change frcrn the fig:res prelnred < at preparation of the budget. Once the budget is adopted, the deficit jn that budget is the one carried fonvard, which e:plains the difference in the figures." Ttre President asked the Shire Clerk to explain the Councilrs loan repayments. Mr Halmes said that an effort had been nrade to e>rplain these at the previous meeting. "Ihis Oouncil had never erler reneged 6n l-oan repa)trents. ..over recent years banks were prepared to roll thern over after 4 yearrs. The interest rate is set for 4 years, and the loan is rrofled over for a furEher 4 years, at the then irtterest rate applicable. To suggest that tlrc Oouncil had gone bankrupt and not been able to neet repaynents was pure nonsense." Another request for specific questions was catled for by President Johyrston. Mr Ford asked for perrnlssion to reply to the Clerk'is mnrnents. He said it was difficult to consider a set of accounts approved by tfp auditor "...wtren the sum total is tess tfEn the sun total of the arpunt paid during the yeaf - in other worrds Council had a loan ccnmitnent repaynent of 91.8m, and qlly paid $1.39 miltion. This is surely not correct.', In his ansder, the Shir:e Council said that SSOO,O0O before March 31st each year. Council suhnitted its loan estirnates for the folloving financial year. this did not nean that al]. the loans were taken up in the br-ldget. If Council decided not to raise a loan until after 31st Dec€niber, the first palment would not fa11 dge in that Financial year. This would be why the budget figure woufd differ frcrn the actual.. Ttre President advised ttrat,'...this year the Council would pick up jn excess of 9315,000, which was the deficit Jast year... The nnjority of the loans referred to are stitl tied up in those investments which were of benefit to tfle Conrn:nity. " The kesident cited the Roebuck Bay Caravan Park and the Town Beach kiosk. Cogncil o\^res rnoney on loans associated with these which ar"e being paid off over a set period. Mr McKenna asked hon Council had ended up with a deficit of $319,000. The President restrrcnded that it had a deficit of $329,507 on lst Ju1y,'89. 1989/90 had been he biggest_ grorr,rth year in the Townrs history. Ihis year we wilJ. pick up in excess of 9319,000." Mr "...the actual deficit in fact gl-.8 million and not the figure CIffIIi[Jm I'Dff PAGE McKenna suggested was - �, , cottII}tUED FRclI PREVICUS PAGE quoted by Council, and that this figure incl-uded flpney frcrn the sale of land in Chinatown." The President said that the figures represented inccrne and expenditure. Mr Wall-ace said thre Shire's inccrne was over $8m. It afso had fjxed assets to the value of $8.5m. In terms of revenue, the capital split rufe does not apply in Local C,overnrnent accor.mting. Mr Cuthlcert asked if the Engineering Department had overqpent its btdget by $1m. The President replied thi-s was not correct. The records coufd be intrepeted irr several ways. Mr Cuthbert asked what the corrct anpunt was; and also if the Engineering Departrnent reported to Council- on a monthly basis. The President confirned that overspending was due to an exceptional nunber of houses beilg buil-t. Another r:nbudgeted expense was the street cross-overs, which had been costed at 560,000, but in fact cost 9119,000. Mr Dureau asked about the anpr:nt of plant and equipnent hel-d by Council. The President. said th-is was an itern discussed quite frequently in Council and with the Engileer. With regards its earthnrovi-ng equitrxnent, I\4r Ford asked i-f the President considered "...d fair utilisation rate of frsn L2 to 25 hours per week for the 8 major itsns of equipnent was sufficient utilisation to justify continued ownershi-p by the Shire. " As this was not a question specific to the 89/90 Fj-nancial Staternents, the President woul-d not be dravrn to give a definite opinion. He mentioned again that Counci-l was doi-ng a study on lts level of equj-trment, and reassured Mr Ford his ccnrnents raou.l-d be noted. In response to another question frcrn Mr Dureau on expenses l-isted under "Schedule ),2" (whieh was for:nd to be not part of the Shire's Statements), the Presj-dent replied: an anpunt of 9350,000 on Schedule 12 related to drai-nage constmction. $173,000 was transferred frorn the Reserve FUnd, and $100,000 from I-oan F\rnds to meet some of the costs." Mr McKenna asked about the Slr-irers overdraft. The anpunt was $400,000 in 89/90, but the figure was actually $1.2m. The Presi-dent confirmed this, but said it was not due to over-borrowing. ft had been reduced to $600,000, and the Local Covernrnent Act perrnits Council-s to "...1egalIy have over- l}rE BROO@ t.E]I,rS, JUIE 1gr1 _ , draft l-irnits up to one tfdrd of ordinary revenue"' Mr Famer was concerned about figures relatirrg to kerbing, and thought the Shire shorll-d be rrDre specific on a l-ot more iterns. The Presi-dent said he would ask the Assi_stant Shire Clerk to provi-de tlr Farmer with the kerbirg details, which Mr Farmer said, "should be made public". Pollowing another guestion fron Mr Ford, Mr Wallace advised that Local Government Accounting Regulationst requirenents "...were that such j-tsns as reticulation of ova1s, earthworks, carparks, etc, which were not insurable, were not to be treated as fixed assets. " He was not aware of any itenrs on the current register which should not be there. The kesident i-nvited Mr Ford to make an to check the assets list with aptrrcintment himself and the Shire Clerk. I\4r Ffaser asked for an appointrnent to see the president, and 9.00am on 26th March was decided. Mr Dlreau asked why the mcdified Financial Statenrent had been nr-issing frqn the Shire Minutes at the Library f6r several nonths in L989/90. Ttre copy of Schedule 2 is required by the Local Government Act. The Assistant Shire Clerk said tfnt each quarter a fuJ-l- set of Statements j_s provi_ded. It was too large to copy for the public. The President advised that the Library did not get a copy of these for the pubJ_ic to study. Mr Dureau saj-d there was nothing at the Library for L989/9Q, and the presj_dent replied that it was availabl_e, and had been done in JuIy,1990. Mr Dureau saj-d he had only for:nd copies of cash palzments for approval_ at the Library, and no other reference to the Shirers Finances.

Ms Hanigan said thnt e4lenditure exceeded approval in the budget by a very substantial anrount, and she wished to know whether permission was granted under Section 547 of the Local Government Act. l,1r Wal-Iace said that Section of the Act required Council to set a budget. If they wished to spend money which had been alproved, "... the only requirenrent under thr-is Section was that Cor.rncil approve it...u In his jtdgement there was no expenditure which fE would cl-ass as unauthorised." Mr Cuthbert said he did not believe his question regarding the control of expenditu:re, especially in the Engineering Departnent, had been adequately answered. He agreed that sqne iterns were beyond Oouncilrs control, but asked: "... if there was any control exercised during the year by fuIl Council, over this sort of expenditure. " The kesident replied "... there was very strict control exercised this year, which was one of the reasons utry the Shire was in such a viable trrcsition." Follcxring a question regardilg the depreciation of Councilrs assets, the Shire Clerk said that r.rnder the ner accowrting regulations, it was no longer necessaaT to provide for depreciation, and Council had el-ected to discontirue the practice. In response to a question regarding the 282 increase in Daryrier Ward rates, the President replied that it "...was to bring it ncre into line with the Brscrne Ward..Shire spends rrore per head of potrulation looking after the Dampier Ward than the Broone Ward. " Though it did not relate particularly to fj-nance, the President ansv'rered a question regarding the early date of the Annual Elector's Meeting, of 7th January. He said that the Shire Newsletter could have gone but ttlat it had ben advertised out earlier, in the rWest Australian', and on ABC Radio. He "...believed that the meeting should be held as soon as the auditor's retrrcrt was conpleted. .' Mr MiKenna asked hcnv budgeting was done, and who prepared estirnated figiures for each fjnancial year. The Shire Clerk said that Health, Engileering, Works and Garden sections subnitted individual budgets. The Assistant Shire Clerk and the Clerk prepare an overall budget to be presented to the Finance and Staff Oonmittee. It is reviewed until the Ccrnnittee nnkes specific reconrnendations to Council, when the F\rl1 Council deals with it. Ms Hanigan said that the cost of living in Broonre was the highest in the State, and asked the President to give an undertakin!; that rates would not be increased ovei the next L2 months. He replied he could not give a personal undertaking and said, "...it would be negligent of any Shire Council not to keep rate increases in line with the C.P.I." Ms Hanigan asked the president to give a conmitnent to the rate increases to C.p.I., il view of the fact that last yearrs increases were significantly above that. The president agreed with Ms Hani_gan, but stressed that he was not able "...to cormit Council to any @urse of action." As a final guestion, Ms Hanigan asked if the Shire i-s taking a loan of $175,000 for improvarents on the Cabte Beach drainage. The President said $150,000 was the actual_ figure. The Meeting closed at 7.30trxn. reTSCRIPT: In the Correspondence of the April Odinary Meeting there was a letter to Mr Fbrd recorded. It had ontained details of the Shirers 7 most recent loans, pfus details of the advertisernents which explained ttnt they would have the ilterest re-negotiated after specific periods. In the bankrs offers "...equa1, hal-f yearty instaLnents are the same as would be required if the l_oan had a currency of the nr-rnber of years Council sought... Council recently rolled over a loan at the e><piration of the initialreview period, and the interest rate was reduced frorn 16.1? to 14.5?." ATISCN SPEhIER Mr Wall-ace said that under the Act, accounts nn-rst be audited by 31st March of the follorring year. He e>plained that the tender for the audits included the 4 Kimberley Shires, and these were all to be done on one journey. This meant waiting until al1 four were ready.

The trail-er - basicaily a jin}<er has L6 wheels in the rear and four in the front and at the right hand side front a steering wheel , so that the trail-er may be steered independently of the trrck towing, or as rn this case a CAT 9508.

Parents of asthmatic children will testify to the crippling effects of that illness on otherwise healthy youngsters, and doubtless any readers have their own experience of disability which they may like to share with us.

I Retiring Councillors Male and Neville were convincingly reelected in a three cournered contest at the Local Government Elections on May 23. Cr. Male was re-elected with an aggragate count of 1450 and 61% of the primary vote. Cr. Neville was returned with an aggragate of 2099 (23%) and the unsuccessful candidate Patrick Roe scored 2559 (14%). The · informal vote was a low 2%. (Cr. Murray, Dampier Ward was re-elected unopposed.) The number of votes on the roll (1565) was up 379 (32%) on the enrolment for the last election however the turn out at the poll was only 66.4%, down 11.1% on 1980. Despite the lower poll and the lack of any election issues the electorate clearly indicated it wanted stability on Council. The Shire records only go back as far as 1969 and in that time there is no record of any other occasion when all retiring Councillors were re-elected. The desire for stability was also reflected in the eiection of same Office Bearers and Committee Members as last year. Crs. P. G. A. Reid and K. A. S. Male were re-elected unopposed as Shire President and Deputy President. The Finance and Staff Committee is Crs. Reid, Male, Murray and Matsumoto and the Works and Development Committee is Crs. Connolly, Neville, Bin Salleh and Telford. �GOVT CHARGES UP Broome residents will feel the full effect of increased Govt. charges announced by the Premier, Sir Charles Court on June 16. Sir Charles said the increases were forced on the Govt. by the ~tough financial situation facing the State. "Most charges would have been increased because of the ~ increases in wages and other costs of providing services but the situation has been made more difficult by the Commonwealth's assult on the State's revenue," the Premier said. "We have decided that these increases are the maximum we can reasonably ask people to pay at the present time." Costs that will affect Broome people are Electricity, Water, Hospital, Housing, Port ftnd Fisheries- and Wildlife. · Electricity charges will rise by 16% on July 1. · Account establishment fe·e will increase ·from $2 to $20 and a three ph~se domestic connection fee will increase by $72 to $85. Housing Commission rents will rise by 10%. The subsidation of North West and remote area rents will continue and limit Broome rents to a maximum of $40. A single pensioner unit will be $13 a week and pensioner couples wi,thout children $21 a week. ~ Rents for Aboriginal housing are • ~ to be increased to current rent r,, F :: levels of Commonweal th/State Housing. Increases will be ~ phased in at the rate of $5 a week at six monthly intervals until the current rent levels are reached. All patients attending public hospitals except eligible pensioners and disadvantaged persons will be charged for services as from Sept. 1. Outpatient consultations will be $15 or $8 where no medical services are involved.

She origin~ ~ ally came to the school as a ··,< · teacher with other sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (known as the Loreto Sisters), while St. Mary's was still being administered by the St. John of God Sisters. Since the Loretos took over the running of the school about 4 years ago, Sr. Mary-Ellen has been an outstanding Principal, building up the staff teamwork, curriculum resources, teaching approaches and thus the educational standards to such an extent that St. Mary's has one of the highest reputations in the north of W.A. The major pageant in 1979, during the 'Back to St. Mary's' celebrations, offered a dramatic presentation of the achievements of the school. Sr. Mary-Ellen explained recently that for some time she has felt called to join the Cistercian Sisters in America, whose service is carried out by prayer and silence rather than public activity. A great many people of Broome including pupils, parents and others have appreciated Sr. Mary-Ellen's influence, and wish her well in her new path. Sr. Mary Murray, well known for her work at St. Mary's School was recently appointed as Principal.

But every one of them is asked for a reason. It's not just someone's idle curiosity. Planning for the 1981 Census began in mid-1977. In November 1977, the public, businesses and Government Departments were invited to tell the Census planners what topics they wished to see included in or excluded from the Census. 1600 submissions were received. These were carefully examined and possible questions were tried out on a small number of households. Preliminary proposals for the 1981 Census werepublished by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in February 1979. Further talks were held with major users and other interested people throughout Australia, followed by more testing of possible Census questions. The Australian Statistics Advisory Council was consulted throughout this process. As you can see, a lot of people were consulted to help in deciding the questions to be asked. The answers to these questions will help private industry as well as governments to determine the type of service needed by the community. All of us can benefit frotn it. ,·· :i,, :: services and social security. It helps in working out the location of housing projects, schools, and homes for the aged, where they'll do the most good for the greatest number of people. Of course Census figures alone do not result in projects being started or action taken. Funds and resources must be available. Priorities must be established. But without accurate figures, needs could only be established by guesswork. For Australia's benefit, your co-operation is needed to make this Census a successful one. Many people think of a Census simply as a head count. In fact, there's a great deal more to it than that. The information gathered in a Census helps governments Federal, State and Local - plan more efficient services for you, the people of Australia. It gives an overall picture of the people, their movements and living patterns - not as individuals, but as groups in specific areas. That means enormous help in providing things like roads, public transport, hospitals and baby care centres. It helps form a basis on which funds can be allocated for health s �POSTBAG: LETTE~ The liquor stores are fortunate in that they close early so that the people, who have been buying their grog there during the day, and who are by this time in a state of varying intoxication, have only one place to go - to the Roebuck Bay Hotel. It stands to reason then, thgt an hour after the stores clo~e, there will be people at the Roebuck who should really have been stopped from drinking hours before. We didn't put them in an intoxicated state, but because they end up here at the end of the day, we are suddenly responsible for: TO THE E:DlT'OR... 1. Their condition, 2. All the litter they have thrown about the foreshore, 3. All the domestic fights, 4. The dubious honour of trying to tell them they have had enough and to go home. ROEBUCK BAY HOTEL I refer to the letter by M.L.C. Dowding in the Broome News in which he has included parts of an objecti on by Mrs. E. Foy to the proposed hotel at Cable Beac h . Mrs. E. Foy, I suggest you investigate the problem more thoroughly before you single out one hotel for vour concern. It is easy to sit back and criticise, why don't you come down to the Roebuck Bay Hotel and we will show you the problems, maybe you could help us?? Mrs. Foy refers to the litter problem and alcohol abuse. I quote: "Her final point was one of the social implications for Broome, which already has an unresolved litter problem at a foreshore hotel (Roebuck Bay Hotel) and has major social problems relating t o alcohol abuse." SIGNED: T. K. CULLEN LICENSEE 13.05.81 Whilst I respect your concern Mrs. E. Foy, I am surprised that you have failed to take into account that there are other liquor outlets in Broome as well. Firstly, there are two liquor stores which retail cheaper liquor in the same street, and don't you think it is possible that they contribute to the problems? I can assure you that those stores sell more to the public during the day than we.do. Why do you not check up on your facts before you single out the Roebuck Bay Hotel for your comments?

One would never have suspected such sensi t i vi ty in such unlikely quarters - there's hope for Broome yet! Personally I feel we need someone like Olga, to offer light relief, in Tribune style, in order to highlight the serious issues Broome News raises. One can't fail being impressed by someone who has managed to cause such an outrage and alienate i of Broome in one fell swoop! How about focussing some of your scathing wit now Olga on the t that survived your onslaught - Government Depts., Churches, pearlers, politicians, activists, business men and locals (and anyone else I have forgotten). ·_:.{ }::. ·.....: That is not to say I haven't found some loveable terrorists, happy and hedonistic hippies (sorry haven't had much truck with meat workers). .• To evaluate "literary merit" and "humour" one must disassociate oneself with clear thinking exercises and apply the more subjective test:- did it amuse me? In my opinion the storms of abuse heaped onto Olga showed: a) poor grammar, syntax and punctuation b) the servile characteristics of Uriah Heep c) paranoic, onerous pomposity and d) a heavy macho attempt at humour. The ability to laugh at ourselves is surely a good trait, rather than acting agressively to what is just Dame Edna Everage humour. My confession Mr. Editor is this: whether I agreed with Olga's views or not I did find the article humourous. I suspect that far from being found in an airconditioned Govt off ice Olga may be found eavesdropping on you all in the lugger bar, or entertaining the dole queue.

AND I would like to complime11 ... the Editor and Staff of Broome News THE and all those in the organiggtion HAVE NOTS Your correspondents Telford and Rose and the lack of other letters in praise of Olga tend to give the impression that everybody hated her column. Personally, I thought it was highly amusing but rat0er than write in and say so I JUSt hoped fo r more of the same next issue. The forces of reaction however were sufficiently stirred to rush into print to howl her down. I thought the "Broome Rumours" article was particularly good in that it came out and had a chuckle at t hose who thrive on speculation while outwardlv kowtowing to the Great Ones: OK so Doc Reid is probably going to cash in his chips to plunge the lot on the new hotel - everybody knows where Doc Reid is at but no-one is prepared to come out and say so. It was so refreshing to see in print that even j ust o~e oerson thinks the whole deal is ~ laugh. Protests and petitions are just water off a Doc's back - as soon as vou knock one tyrant down another pops up.

I read the edition from cover to cover as it is an interesting and important part of Broome's life. I am appalled at the vicious comments often directed at the community group involved in its production and am surprised at the vigour with which some of the articles are attacked. Controversy is the spice of life, but let us have a little less of the vitriol and a little more objective argument from some of the readers who occasionally burs t into print in letters to the Editor. I further hope that the policy of Broome News is to require a signature to each letter to the Editor so that the person involved may atleast have the responsibility of livina with his or her comments.

If it wasn't for them and their money, this town of Broome would only be residented by a handful of Chinese, Old Identities and Natives.

It appears to me that Olga needs to travel and see both sides of the coin, then perhaps they won't be so narrow minded. ( - A Tourist. 2) As for Meatworkers that invade the town. I know a lot of them and they are very respectable people, with good social backgrounds where they come from. But then Olga's small mindedness wouldn't know decent people from ·'other's · under 'the ' circumstances of the written adjective.

As your business people and community would soon go broke from the handful of local people who would find Broome worth while to live in permanently. So Olga my advice to you is pull your head in and live and let live. By the way I am not ashamed of my name, but you seem to be with your Non De Plume.

One of the interesting things about conducting an opinion poll is the number of people who either do not want to answer the question in the terms it is asked or want to add an explaination to their answers. So what is all this leading up to? Well, here we have, according to their supporters,a fine bunch of blokes (and women, sorry) who do the town proud, spend big mobs of money, and generally do all such other things to make Broome the place it is today. The irony is most of them cannot qualify for a vote as long as they live in the single men's quarters and caravan parks of Broome. Such was the case last month when I assisted with a survey to guage opinion on the extension of universial franchise to Local Govt. voting. An interesting response by the small number of people who answered 'No' to the question was the qualification they made that it would give the hippies the right to vote (another reason to hate the hippie). town Where does this leave the hippie hater?

As one of those terrorists currently raging all over Broome, I was taken by a local to your cemetery and was amazed at the way the older gravestones were left so completely overgrown. Even the unusual Japanase siction has so~e broken and crumbling gravestones. Surely these could be fixed up to resemble their original condition? And for the rest, a once over job could be undertaken to remove weeks and replace them with woodchips or pebbles artd native trees so as to really show some respect for your forebears and that you take some pride in your history. Maybe some of the tour operators who make something out of the graveyard could help pay for it. Demeo Ltd. (the Meatworks) is the third highest ratepayer in the Shire of Broome and employs more people than any other single business in Broome. Tony Guiseppie the manager told me he employed 140 people and 80 of them lived in the company's single men's quarters. He declined to devulge the weekly wages payout to the workforce on the grounds of confidentiality.

As often happens, when you have noticed something, soon after a number of similar incidences have been mentioned to me. Whilst not expecting the R.T.A. to provide a 'breakdown service' I do feel that normal North West driving courtesy and the offer of advice or radio assistance would be good for public relations. Perhaps there is a policy or regulation obstructing my suggested action. Can it be clarified for others and myself? (I add that the R.T.A. vehicle was not from Broome.)

The Premier, Sir Charles Court recently opened a conference titled 'Use and Abuse of Alcohol - The Health Issue of the Eighties'.

I, in this weak, piping time of peace Have no delight unless to see my shadow in the sun And Descant on my own deformity." Shakespeare Richard the Third This approach to disability is absolutely abhorant and absurd; for no disabled person has the right to be sorry for himself. I am a disabled person, what is scientifically known as a Haemoplegic. Paralysed and spastic down one side as the result of a brain haemorage. I play tennis and cricket, have a cannonball serve and am a fast bowler and bat with one hand. I can run, enjoy myself, hold a fulltime job, practise a pastoral ministry as a fulltime churchman. I knew a boy when I was a child, a paraplegic who had little control over his speech and his arm movements were such that they were quite unnatural; yet, that boy today, is the dean of the Law faculty at one of Australia's leading universities. What do these two examples of disability and the possibilities associated with disability prove? 1. A disabled person is not mentally deficient. Those who look upon disabled people as such, disable themselves through not wishing to see the capabilities associated with a disabled person. 2. No disabled person should be sympathised with, but supported. Support means throwing down the gauntlet to the disabled person, presenting him with the capacity of his possibilities. 3. That a disabled person is capable of holding employment and doing a first-class job. The .' disabled person who gains gmployment or vocation, because of his disability will work harder to present employers with results that the able person is not challenged to present, for to keep his job, he must do this to prevent his job being taken by an able person. 4. The disabled person must ban the word 'can't' from his vocabulary. This is a difficult proposition to face up to as the disabled person is often tempted to ask others to do something for him that is a little more difficult than other activities• but he can do these things if he' will have patience and try to succeed. 5. The disabled person must be allowed to live his own normal life; he must not be protected by parents, friends and work mates. He must learn to take with a smile the bumps and grinds associated with accidents associated with his disabilities. As I type this article I have one arm in plaster through breaking my wrist after a fall. I have a footdrop, it is not someone else's footdrop that causes me to trip and fall; no one other than myself can have my broken wrist, no matter how much others want to sympathise with me, want to protect me, it is my footdrop which will cause me to trip and fall every now and again. No amount of sympathy or protection can escape that fact; therefore I must accept this factor of my disability with courage and fortitude. If I turn to others to nurse me through this unf ortunate situation, I am missing out on building my capacity to grow in stature of personal fortitude. 6. This does not mean that disabled people need to be denied help and assistance, but the type of assistance offered is �Disabled So What (Continued) important. Let me give an example: I was discharged from hospi ta1 the day after · · breaking my arm. · I was com~ plaining about my inability to carry out certain func• tions in this situation. The sister at the hospital told me how I could manage these things, then she sent me on my way to carry out her ins truc ti ons. This is what I mean by help• ing a disabled person. The usual meaning of 'help' is to do something for someone else; but in the context of helping disabled persons, 'help' means to show how activities can be carried out and to allow the disabled person to carry out the function on his/her own. Let all disabled people .be encouraged by the able, and may the able know how to encourage; I hope my example helps both the disabled and the able to accept things as they are, to follow the guidance of friends, to refuse sympathy and to Live Normally. · Neglected Seaplane engine at Bedford Park.

They took about 9 of us from Beagle Bay to the Old Derby Hospital where Numbala Nunga (Nursing Home) is now. There weren't more than 50 people. I didn't count - but not more. We started that night it took us three days from Beagle Bay to Derby in a lugger. I wanted to wash my cup in the water I wanted to kneel dovm and they told me 'Hold that riggin' - so I hold it and I lost me cup, the tide was going too fast. They then gave me a pannikin. I came to Derby in 1936 and that same year it wasn't a full year that same year the Leprosarium was built. - There wasn't any houses around, at first. I used .to hunt for kangaroo arid there was a windmill and we had water from the well. We ate kangaroo and goanna - in Derby. There were about 300 people here in 1936. The women had their own building and the men had their own. They weren't allowed to stay with each other. The doctor used to keep us away from each other too. Had to use our own cup - even towels. Not allowed to sit on each other's bed. - Bed where they sleep. I used a cup to drink water or tea. I was born at Beagle Bay. There was a fella called Dr. Haines, he was there then, he used to come from Broome. He used to come around and exami:repeople every month. I went in, I had some marks, just little marks on the side and every time he come the marks grow bigger. And when they grew bigger and bigger I got it all over, all round the legs. We had injections then, that time - twice a week. I lost my fingers after the War, 1940-1949 no - it was about 50-531957. My toes the same time - kick- ing football in bare feet but no boots. I was working with - Mr. Mac he was here that time - he said 'You are very good kicking that football. Have you ever played in Perth?' Mr. Mac was from Broome - where the new Jetty is, that was like a leprosarium for whites and from there they used to send them ~o Perth. At first they had a hospital at Beagle Bay away from the Beagle Bay houses. We stayed in the dormitory and-went to bed at half past seven. We would go out fishing once a week - we weren't allowed to eat meat on Friday. The people used to go out fishing. I was going to 8 (years old). My mother went to Port Darwin for the same thing, leprosy. My father worked on luggers at Beagle Bay - He didn't have leprosy. Nearly all my brothers and sisters had leprosy. Two of them there and two of them here. One was sent to Cossack and one to Darwin and from there to here, the Leprosarium. We use~ to get injections twice a week · - every -Tuesday and Friday. I came here in 1936 and got out in When I got out I was 27. I still had good hands then. I camped one night in Broome anda chap named Terry MacDaniels asked for someone to work on a boat. He asked another boy - he didn't want to but I said 'I'll try' and we were out there 3 months - never smoked, never eat tobacco. I was cleaning the pearl shell and put them in the bag and mend it up - I was there three months then come in got a job with, Jack Prior, just before Christmas, it ~953. 22 �(Mathias Sebastian Continued •••• ) was December. Jack Prior had a truck and he'd get all the stores and take them around. I didn't know how to drink then. . Its not too hard having leprosy. You feel weak sometimes and loosing the hand you can't grab anything, have to throw it on the shoulder. You get sick and all that mark come out and you feel weak, just swollen, and the pain from the lumps. They gave us injections in the string (vein). We had injections once · a month through the vein. really feel the heat and flame. ii.Y advice to somebody if they have leprosy is to go back or else you'll die, back to the Leprosarium so you can get treatment - plenty to eat, plenty medicine every day not injection, only some pills that will keep you up. If they worry I tell them plenty people die from worry. Some people did worry, away from home. A lot of people die in Leprosarium but that graveyard never · get any bigger - after a while they would dig up the grave and find the bones. Sometimes four people die in a week, when flu went through the Leprosarium. That is the old place where we used to sleep. We would stay there With the I reaction I ' the pain. The injection in the string (vein), the pain come and can't sleep .;.. from reacting. The blisters come up and give pain. Can't touch anything. If I could live my life again I'd try to get a job on the Main Road or something like a handyman, like a carpenter - thats what I used to do here. - If you take a walk you'll see my handiwork ~ my work. on that old building, down there whP-re we used to wash our clothes - I built a hut - I make it longer. I never got married but I used No - I don't get depressed about spending time here. I never used to care, I never had that feeling. I used to think of this place as my home. I grew up here and never had that feeling. to live with a girl. She was here for not more than two months. She didn't have leprosy. No marks or anything. I lived with her for nearly a year - she was from Beagle Bay. Leprosy stopped me feeling things - I got burnt, kneeling down on the heat when I was only a boy. This place was all scrubby then. There was about 300 that time. People used to run away and died in bush from leprosy, or hunger. They didn't like Derby they was bush people, lived out on stations or somewhere in the bush - they would go in the caves. I came back in 1960. I come back each time my fingers or sores are bad. Maybe I drop hot tea on them in the bush and it comes up bad.

He said the Commonwealth Government had allocated a · totalof 2.3 million dollars to the Department of Employment and Youth Affairs in 1981, the International Year of Disabled Persons. "A total of $2 million has been provided for the training of disabled people under the National Employment and Training Sys.tern (NEAT), including a program under which community organis .. ations will provide work preparation projects for the disabled to help their entry into open employment." Work preparation projects already under way included one in Victoria run by the Yooralla Society to help 45 young physically disabled people achieve stable employment, and one by the Crippled Children's Association of South Australia to help 60 unemployed physically disabled young people with basic work skills. Another, _by the National Association for the Training of Disabled Office Workers (NADOW) wilT provide training for up to 80 disabled people in · office pr.ocedures ,a:ry.d ' cqmputer courses. her possible eligibility for a higher level of -assistance under NEAT for training those whose disability creates a need for special assistance in settling into employment. Through the NEAT Scheme and CES offers the following subsidies to employers: For the first half of training $157.10 per week for adults and $83.20 for juniors. For the second half of training $69.30 per week for adults and $50.80 for juniors. Or the award wage, whichever is the lesser. Up to $2,000.00 may also be paid for modification of the work place. The subsidy is paid for a minimum of 20 weeks and if the trainee is obviously not suitable the employer has the right to terminate his services. A disabled person is not necessarily an invalid-pensioner and they can perform most jobs equally as well as a person without a disability. In addition they generally prove more stable and reliable due to their lack of work opportunities. GOVT.

COMMENT Our weather, our beaches and our wonderful history are our greatest assets. Broome would not be Broome, as we and our visitors know it without the marvellous cultural mix which makes up the atmosphere of our town. A town of which the residents of Broome of all cultural backgrounds are justly proud. It is unfortunate then to see the unstoppable encroachment of "progress" possibly erode these wonderful assets. There are many who sit and wait and moan too late! Whatever the issue none can afford apathy, Broome is valuable to us all and therefore we should voice our opinions - Broome News is but one forum available to us - we can, if we are interested attend Council meetings, write to the papers or present petitions. Sometimes "progress" can be tremendously beneficial if controlled and regulated. However, it would be a terrible shame if in the name of progress (and financial gain) we were to loose sight of just one of these assets. I guess its up to us all of Broome involved in our community whichever side we are on. Broome its in your hands - selective progress is fine progress without selectivity will neuter our town •.

Without wishing to "knock" those who see benefit from all forms of progress Olga for one would hate to see Broome become another surfer's paradise type development, with all the headaches that would Drovide.

Stations in the Kimberley region are now in the process of mustering cattle and carrying out their management programmes. One of these includes the control of Dingoes and Wild Dogs, using poisoned baits, to keep them at a manageable level so dogs are not inclined to harrass young stock. Both Strychnine and 1080 poison are comm.only used in either manufactured or fresh meat baits and distributed on station property, along tracks and near watering points, during April/May and August/September. These baits do last for some time under favourable conditions and can remain lethal for two to three months. If you are travelling around the bush, please remember that baits are possibly in the area so keep pets close at hand and supervise young children. Warning notices are displayed on public access roads showing that baits have been laid in that particular area. Notices are . not displayed on internal station roads which are not gazetted for public use. ********************************* NATURALIST'S CORNER. This Month: TEE FROG IN THE BOG. Most of us are familiar with the Green Loo Frog. Come to think of it, the Green Loo Frog must ?e pretty familiar with us. But, in thoughtful moments, have you ever wondered about him? I shared a shower with one this morning, which must have given him a new ~erspective, and set me to thinking too. So I picked the little fellow out of the plughole, took down rey frog encycl?paedia, and. looked him up. Imagine my astonishment when I found him classified as a Tree Frog. No mistake either, because apart from the fact that he matched the photograph, his habitat was given as "letterboxes, toilet cisterns, meter boxes, and bathrooms." For the curious, the full name of the Green Loo Frog is Litor~a Caerulea (not to be confu~ed ~1th Litoria infrafrenata or Litoria chloris, let alone Litoria phylochroa). Caerulea is found over the top half or more of Au~trali~, and in New Guinea, where his habitat may be slightly different. , Caerulea has the same characteristics as most frogs, plus a few of fts own. These include webbed feet and discs at the end of its fingers and toes - all the better to cling to you with. Its eyes are golden, as you will see !or yourself if you look closely, and the backs of its thighs are orange. It is quite harmless to human beings, and makes an excellent pet since it costs nothing to feed, lives on insects, and needs no exercising. Oh yes - and it keeps you company in the bathroom, and where others seldom do. F .1 L. �If the catfish is one of your victims (or vice versa) perhaps you could help the D@pt. of Fish· eries and Wildlife. Now they don't wish to be inundated with every catie you catch, but are interested in any catfish you get that is unusual. The odd ones they are after fall into two types, the first has a snout which is pointed rather than the normal rounded snout. Normal S out .. ':: / The other odd one they are interested in has an anal fin count of 28 or 30 as opposed to the normal catfish which has a count of around 15 to 1 ~ If you catch either of these fish would you please preserve it in some way and contact the local Fisheries Office (921121). Remember they don't want half a million normal catfish dumped on their step. In line with my personal view, a few people have approached me and asked that I express the need for fish folk to be a little thoughtful in just how many fish they take. Give some consideration to only taking what you need and can use. Remember, if you keep on taking 20 or 30 bluebone or whatever from your favourite reef it won't take long before that reef is "fished out". When/if this happens, it was you wqo did it, not the tourists etc. This simple conservation system is reflected in the methods used by charter skippers like Athol Webb at Exmouth, if they have a good haul on a specific rQQf th~y do~ 1 t flog it again the next day, they wait weeks or even months before fishing it again. Being clumsy, I often cut myself on coral, oyster encrusted rocks etc. and these cuts seem to take forever to heal. I read an article on this problem recently and it seems that most antiseptics, antibiotics and so on are ineffectual against marine bacteria. The remedy recommended for this problem was prompt bathing with chlorhexidine gluconate, which is marketed as "hibiclens" by I.C.I • and is available at the Broome Pharmacy. I have used the product and it does seem to work, so if you suffer the problem of slow healing, septic marine cuts and scratches try it. If it does not work I suggest you see a doctor before the ulcerate. Those of you who use nets could give a little thought to their use and more particularly where ______,you use them. If you keep thrashing the creeks with them you will soon be in the same position as the reef fisherman with his bluebone. It would be a thought to leave the creeks as the fish refuges and nurseries they are. Perhaps a few of the local creeks could be left for the use of persons with small dingies that can't go in open waters. The only way to have the situation where these people can catch a feed is to take the pressure of netting off these creeks. A self imposed ban on the netting of Dampier Creek would be a pleasant gesture by netters towards those others who fish in that area. Although there are no closed waters in this area I am sure pressure could be bought to bear , to have certain . of our creeks closed. I feel this would be an unnecessary imposition. Give it a thought. Gap filler: Did you knew that most Australian boating accidents are caused by boats fueled on petrol and crews fueled on grog. f �ANGLER (Continued) Right or wrong, if the establishment of a caravan park at Port Smith goes ahead, it could be a boon to a lot of fishermen, provided that part of the development includes some decent boat launching facilities. Now there is an excellent gravel road into the port boat ramp, so there is little to say on this subject, except, perhaps, to again ask a few of the ramp's users to be a little considerate in where they park in relation to the ramp. Unfortunately I have to say the main offenders seem to be residents and not visitors, (sorry Olga). Also regarding the ramp, I would like to thank those persons I approached to give the other (official) side of the saga, for their promises to ~ontact me. I would like to bring to the attention of visitors, that the blackboards at the boat ramps do not serve the purpose that their counterparts do in other places, in that they are not checked on a regular daily basis. However if you do use them, if you are noticed missing, any rescue teams will know what to look for and where. Play safe, leave your plans and "panic time" with a responsible person on shore. It can happen to you! A writer to a previous B.N. made mention that the issue of the proposed crab farm should be raised. Now I do not wish this column to become political but feel this is perhaps the place where the crab farm should be mentioned, it being a form of fishing, or, at least affecting fishermen more than others. I shan't go into any detail here but from the limited research I have done on the matter I can't see that a crab farm in the proposed area will have any impact that will be detrimental to the area. Perhaps the parties concerned, (the lessee etc.) would like to put the facts (for and against a crab farm) forward INE :. �ANGLER (Continued) Recipe of the Month •••• through either this column or letters to the editor.

Method: case as close as you ~an to snags, keep line taut and don't give the fish a chance to make an initial run or 9 times out of 10 he'll cut you off in the snags. With lures cast as close to. snags as you can and begin an instant retrieve, again giving the fish no chance at an initial run.

Second spot is a four way battle between Pirates, Greasers, Cats and Sluggers with Giants a distant last. Gunnar Oksis's 'Do it Yourself' policy is obviously paying dividends as his mighty Maulers have been doing it with ease. With a dominant battery of Patches Fiorenza and Geoff Rogerson, scoring runs is proving difficult, and it looks like Maulers have a mortgage on one Grand Final position already. Second placed Cats haven't exactly set the world on fire but look like they are starting to improve. As soon as 'Fongy' gets his walking on water act together and 'Brownie' stops raving about his new 'Souped up Ford VS F100 with twin overhead blue flashing lights', Cats might string two wins together. The current ladder TEAM p w Maulers 5 5 Cats 4 2 Greasers 4 Sluggers · Greasers haven't fared any better. After looking wooden spooners in their first game they turned it on for the next two but crashed against · Sluggers. Still, they did that ·. la~t season and won the flat at a canter, Pirates have also been hot and cold and if Selby had a few of them walk the :plank he might .get better results.• However, Pirates are playing better than their fifth spot shows and will no doubt improve. Slack Sluggers are the enigma of the Association. Written off in pre~season activities they have won two games to be in fourth spot. They started last season like this, then became keen and started training, only to lose for . the remainder of the season. If they don.' t train at all this season they could push Maulers for top spot. Seaview's Giants have started like Subiaco usually do and rumour has it that Ray Neville may soon take the field to protect hi~ investment. However, Giants are usually slow starters as killing 300-400 cows a day is enough to slow anybody down. a~ at 19/6/81 is: FOR AGAINST PERCENTAGE POINTS 74 27 274.07 20 2 47 43 109.30 8 2 2 45 52 86.54 8 5 2 3 49 58 84.48 8 Pirates 5 2 3 43 60 71.67 8 Giants 5 1 4 49 67 73.13 4 L - ~ s IMBERLEY BQOKSHOP Hou:·s: 9a.m. - 5p.m. Weekdays Satuxday Momirw Unilituj Church QPPOB.1'1Jm:~SHOP Wed. 8.30a.m. - 10.30&.m Telephone 92 1162 SELF SER.VICE STORE .
