Iii 'l '1id , if needed, the existing well field I could be extended northward ·in futur e to provide a greater flow. Mr . Ventriss said large scale use of private water close to the coast should not · be encouraged. He said drilling would be carried out at five locations at Cable Beach and . five locations· at Coconut. Wells . He said these would monitor salinity changes in the water table through the seasons . Mr. Rod Banyard, also from the P.W .D. said the findings of these drillings could result in restrictions being placed on private bores . He said salinity damag,e can res ult from an overuse of brackish bore water killing plants and degrading the soil. Doug McGhi e of the Dept. of Agricultural said management of the local horticultural industry should revolve around the use of efficient irrigation systems . He said mangoes required 12,000 c ubic me tres per hectare per year and they we r e less tolerant to salt than coconuts. He said such things should b e consider~d when land was being . relea se d after a picture of underground water betame cle~r. During - ~uestions from the publi c , several landholders e~pressed ~o nc er n that their blocks m a~ no longer be viabl e as a result of the water study revelations. ·· There were even ,s uggestions that the land had been released und er false pretences and those who had spent much money and time deve loping blocks may have no chance of a n~ economic return under t he present situation, In partictJlar it was suggesred that blocks in the 12 mil e area were too small to be practical. 3 �LETTERS GJ~~ 0. ·BOX 470 Letters to B.roome News should be typed or clearly written, stating your name, address and contact n.umber, Long letters will be sub-ed-ited in consultation' with the auth.or.

KIM COURTENAY 0 �ELECTION REPORT TO LOCAL GOVT. HEAD SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNITIES IN BROOME SHIRE & DAMPIER WARDS Broome Shire covers an area of around 24 , 000 square mil es and the Dampier , outer ward , has a popul ation of aroun d 1 , 300 . COMMUN ITY PEOPLE KMS/BROOME VOTERS One Arm Point 245 230 114 194 Beagl e Bay 117 140 Lombadi na 120 195 95 La Grange 540 178 260 In addition , there are also several pastoral l eases a nd a number of s mall commun ities including Cygnet Bay , Coconut Wells and the horticultura l blocks at Twelve Mile. 8.00PM CLOSE , AND THE COUNT IS ON Notice of Election in the West Australia n, May 4th , au~horised and inserted by Shi re Ret~r ning Officers. MEDIA COVERAGE MAIL SERVICES News related to the Broome e lections was s ubmitte d to the ABC throug h a local correspo nde nt. It was not used whereas Derby Shire had ite ms e ven on i11dividual candidates reported o n the Regional News Servi ce. Communities in the Broo me Shire only receive ABC media services and are therefor hea vily reliant on the ABC Regional News Servic . This apparent blanket of news items relati ng to t he Broomt• Shire Counci l is highly s uspect and i s co nside r d to have been detrimental to th e operatio n of the recent e l ectio ns . Australia Post ru ns a weekly serv ice fro m Broome to the fo ur communities listed abo ve . Outward bound mail closes on Tuesdays a nd the mai l truck trave l s o ut on Wednesdays to the communities , returning to Broome the following day . The Cape Leveque ro.:>.d services a population of over one t housand, mainly non-ratepayers living in Aborigin a l communities , and it has never been well -maintained . In fact , it i s notoriously hazardous a nd is frequently impassable during th e wet season . This has obvio4s implications for the effectiveness of the ma il service . VOTING POSTAL VOTES No pol ling booths were provided in the Dompier Ward for the May 4th e l ections and the 600 e 1 ectC'rS resident in th e above Aboriginal communities co uld only apply for pos1 .al votes . Beari ng in mind arrange me nts for State and Federa l lections , it can be assume d that t he communiti es would ha ve expected similar provisions for Council elections , particula~ly since the same Electoral Roll was b ei ng used . TO our knowl edge , the communi ties were not informed otherwise by the Broome Sh ire . At the same ti me the Shire made no effort to inform the communi ties of their right to cast postal votes or of the various conditions applyj_n g to th e casting of postal votes . These isolated communities were l eft to f in d this out for themselves . This was also the case in relation to the increased fra nc hi se under the recent a me ndme nt s to the Local Government Act . In fact , there was a general lack of awareness of these new rights t hroughout the Broome Shire . These factors , together with the mail service and t he restriction s on times for lodging postal vote appli.ca tions e tc. , se ve rely limited the voting ability of electors resident in these communitie s . The e fforts of the Derby Shire Council in providi ng polli ng booths outside the town ward and holding over the coun ting of votes , contrasts '.,,; t h_ t he inaction of the Broome Shire Council. Even withi n Broome town , there .were no Sh ire Co un cil s igns advertising the polling place or times. Furthermore , Broome wa s not i ncluded in 1 PERFORMANCE 'T'he above factors mu st c rtain l y hav contrib11 ted to the : i) l ow participatio n of voters in the Dampier Ward election (onl y some 50 posta l votes were n • ceived for the 600 potential lectors in t he fo 111 communit ies listed earlier ) . ii) t he low level of participatio n of voters in th Broome Ward elections as we ll . CONCLUSIONS If Local Government l ectio ns are to be vital and if commun ities are to have t heir full say i11 their f uture and a willingness to participate in this future t he n: i ) they must be fully informed of all the detai l 11 relating to Local Govern me nt elections. ii) they mu st be properly informed of t he power:; , role and f un ctio n of Local Govern ment bodies . The Governme nt must accept respo ns ibility for this. It ca nnot expect Shi res to be committe d to e du cation a nd information disse mination whe r e i t is s uspected that t hey have ves ted interests in excluding sec tional or block votes . Furth e rmore, it stands to reaso n that if e l ectora l e duca t ion is simpl y left to the candidates t he n only nar1 ·ow sections of the north e rn populatio n will be rea c hed and informed , specifical ly , the h ighly lit erate groups who read printed media and campaign ha ndouts. To e ns ure full participatio n in future Broome Shire e l ections , we recommend t hat po lling booth be set up at La Grange and Lombadi na or One Arm Point with a mobi l e polling booth to service DP gle Bay. 6 �LEON LEAVES I 'l'I:11 !i LXTEEN YEARS IN THE NORTH:-WEST AND MANY 11•11 1•:M SPENT PUSHING REMO':f'E AREA EDUCATION , A I 1•111 V/IN ERP IS LEAVING TO TAKE UP AN OFFICE ,TOB ii ' l'l•: l 'l'IJ. 11 111 1( loors man who favours canoe safaris alhe leave s the North~west sorrow. move to the "Engine Room " of Technical 11.\ 1•'111 lh r Education , T.A.F.E . in Perth will stBROOME AND THE COMMUNITIES LOSE LEON 1 I l 1 11.iil Le him to h<1ve an important impact on his BROOME NEWS LOSES LEON'S HEAD Ir J11v1 cl districts , the Pilbara and the Kimberley , I 11 l.1 on ' s new office in Perth deals with the al- Hedland and organising a combined Pilbara and Kiml 11 ii 11 11 of TAFE funds . berley team to PlaY in Port Hedland last year.

Two satellites will be sent into orbit to sit approximately 36 , 000 kilometres above the equat or near Australia. The first one will go up on August 2nd , 1985 and the second one in October SATELLITE APPLICATION ~­ 1985 . ~-- By January 1986, a ll remote areas of Australia -like the Kimberley- will be able to have tele vi sion and radio . We will not have to go to the city to see television advertiseme nts for coca cola and e mu export beer. The ABC television and radio will be avail-· able for people at stat ion s and villages who have never before received it. HOW IT WORl<S ~ As the above d ia gram s hows , all the community or sta tion needs is a receiver dish (cost $1,bOO I and a television set to pick up programmes . e... .......... OTHER BENEFITS . . Another i mportant benefit is the improveme nt to communication se rvices. Tel ecom Australia will use the satellite to provi~~ a ~ u119 -auto­ mated telephone service to outback areas. No more radio telephone a nd long delays. Remote communities could a l so have access to telex , facsimile , PABX and data tra ns mission faci l ities. An i mproved communications system mea ns tha.t Aboriginal e n terprises such as store or pastoral operations can have direct commun ication with s uppl iers or consultants in southern cities or overseas School of the Air operations will be greatly improved by access to improved communications and television and radio services . · ,~ 2. ~;~ SATELLITE BEAMS PROGRAMME PROBLEM AREAS ~ I Major City Earth ~ Tracking,Telemetry , Control & Monitoring Station , Major City Earth Stations A broadcasting station in Perth will send up programmes to the satellite . The satellite will return the progra mmes so they ca n be picked up in remote areas of W.A. REMOTE COMMUNITIES & STATIONS Peopl e who live out of town in remote commun ities or on stations will also receive service . Very few Aborigines in remote areas have been consulted and fully informed as to the operations of Au ssat . In the Kimberley , Aborigines ' have not bee n properly informed as to what i mpact commercial television and radio will have on t hings lik e language, culture and behaviour of Aboriginal people, ' particularly children . The N.A. C. "National Tel ecommunications Sy~t­ em Paper ", by Aileen Buckley, had t hi s to say about television : ' ' "Studies carried out in Canada , AlasK:a, ' Asia, and the South Pacific, reveal its i mp~ct to be culturally devastating. Commun ities had no control over the conte nt of programmes. All pro'gran\ mes telev'ised were in the English language. Chil dren bega n using Engli sh as their pr1mary langu age and t he use of traditional language became secondary . Social patterns within communit ies were also disrupted because families viewed ~el ­ evision rather than attend regular commun ity · gathering s and ceremonies . It was fel t 1"byJ.e lCle:t.1 wi t hin communi ties that the younger qeneratib n I were becoming socially alienated. They attributed this ·to the fact that television had xnt rod u . C9NT.

He responded \' I uq, the q uickest way to l ose you r c ulture l . u.,11 9 is with tele vis i on . 111 l\l 1o ri gina l Nation has bee n so concerned 1 t lu y have : 1.

Wi thou t CAAMA ' s assis1 • , J\horigina l people would ha ve had no repre- sentation at the hearing . Finally it is imperative that remote area people in the Kimberley set up a committee to control and monitor t e levision and radio programmes . The body could also provi de a manageme nt struct ure to seek f unds zo deve l op programmes to se ll · to the broadcasters. The spin - off would be j ob s and t echnical training.

BUT THAT WAS Decision soon on 'white elephant' IN JUNE? THE future of the $3 million sorghum loading "white elephant" at Broome is expected to be decided by State Cabinet this month. The grain loading facility - built by th e former Court Government to take the crops from the illfated Ca mb allin development - has never held any sorghum. A Labor Government Cabinet sub-committee set up to examine possible uses for the facility has met twice with the official receiver for the Camba llin project, John Anderson . The sub-committee also has called for a report from the heads of the departments of Lands, Agriculture, North-West and Water Resources. Giant US insurance company Aetna has spent about $30 million on the Cam ball in project. Tile Western Mail, Weekend, June 4-6, 1983 27 1983! �HERE'S A SHELL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAVED But Not In Your Private Collection l<im Courtenay SPECIES: Rubiginosus AL SWEETMAN HAS BEEN LABELLED ONE-EYED BUT SHE SAYS IF THAT ' S HOW PEOPLE DESCRIBE SOMEONE WHO CARES , THE TITLE DOESN ' T WORRY HER A BIT . It may seem inconsistent that someone who makes money selling s hel ls is trying to s top others co ll ecting them , but Va l maintai ns her busi ness and her insi ght into l ocal shel l s gives her every reason to pro t ect stocks . Ilolding a cl uster of rare ruby mu rex s he ll s Val re fers to them as her babies and believes the ir limite d breedi n g stocks a r e in danger . And Val knows more about th se s hel ls than just about anyone. She has observed the entire breeding process in an aquarium at her home and for years has carefully monitored local wild stocks at Ridde ll Beach which is now closed to s hel ling. (Va l has a s he ll s hop and mu se um in Broome as does Kerry Sharpe and th ey have the mo st ex t e ns ive coll ection s in town si nce t ho se of the l ate Mr s McDaniels . ) Val says the exis tin g closures are not working and s he i s trying to mak e authorit i es aware of a decline in local shells a nd in particular t he disruption of the rub y murex during breedi ng. For several years now she ha s ob served ruby mure x s he lls as they gather into c lo se co loni es to breed on one area of reef nea r Riddell beach. They form into nests in the same places every y ar and the success of these group fe rtiliza t i ons and e gg production s are vital to the s urvival of the species, V Capsu l es are l aid , ach con tai ning se vera l hundred eggs and the parents stay in a t ight group protecting th m until they are hatched. At this ti me the shells are vulnerable to coll ect ors as they choose an area that is hi gh a nd dry at low tide. Fo ur years aqo Val says she fou nd 40 to 50 nests on the reef each containing up to 120 breedi ng s h ells .. During a thorough search this year she found three nests each contai nin g no more than 10 she ll s . After monitoring the three nests over several spring tides one day Val was con fro nted with the all too fa miliar aftermath of n illegal co llectors outing. Every mat ure shell had been taken from one of · th e nests l eaving the egg caps ul es unguarded.

Some saw it as the "old " Roebuck (in a new beer garden? ) some as a compl ete rip-off , some as inevitable as most pubs do charge when a band is playing. Uowever , as instigators of the move to charge , local band Scrap Metal were trying to create a professional situation whereby bands had to really'perform ' in order to jus tify the charge , as opposed to playing to a free audience for p eanuts and therefore , little incentive. Scrap Metal have since gone into recess from the live scene and hope to concentrate on produc ing and recording original music . It appears Boogoo and the Bandits will be flying the "local band" flag down at the Roebuck in the meantime. The experience should give the boys a chance to get on their feet in a big way .

FOULKES LED THE FIHST EXCURSION OF THE I( I MBERLEY FIELD NATURALISTS ' SOCIETY , WHICH W/\fi /\'!'TENDED BY NINE MEMBERS AND FIVE CHILDREN. 'I'll object of th e excursion was to observe the p l ,in life , under Paul ' s guidance , of the vine llli c; ket s behind the Cable Beach coastal dune a1 u~ , vine thicket s representi n g the area ' s rem11.in· rainforest . T'h area selected for the exc ur sion was that · i · d to become a botanical reserve , due to t he li v rsity of the plant life a nd conservatio n valof t he area . Paul has an intimate knowledge of th e Kiniber1. cy botanical specimens and not only does he pr ss and s tore p l ant sampl es which are ultimate·ly d sti ned for the collection of the W.A. Herb rium, but he is a bota nical artist as well. Art portfolios co ntaining hundreds of plant il lustrations were shown to memb rs after t he walk whi c h took ~-. h e group through the· Terminalia domi nated vine thickets and up to the sand d une ridges through pockets of rather dense dune vegetati on , where the perfume of native jas mine jasmine didymum- excites the se nses . Members were fascinated by Paul ' s knowl edge of the native fruit-bearing plants and trees in the area whi ch include d th e Gubbinge , Termina li a f er ni na ndi a na , t he Gummuli n, Persoonia falcata , Muggab ulla , the Bush Banana. Th ese native fruits , which norma ll y s how between mid-December and the e nd of February , are well known to Aborigina l people and are valuabl e so urces of Vitamin C. Also observed was the Medi ci ne Bark Tree , Ventila~o vimina li s , u sed as a medici nal dressing by Aboriginals. The b eauty of plant s of the area was a l so stre ssed a nd notable examples were the two mi stl etoes Amyema b enthamii a nd Lysiana spathul ata , both bearing pendant red and green flowers and the un usual Opilia amentacca, a dark gree-leaved s hrub of about 1 . 5 metres with fragrant gree n ish - yellow flower s . By the end fo the walk, a ll members were well a ware of th e des truction cuased to the vegetation by fire , illegal camp-sites and t he dumping of rubbish. Thi s area represents a fragile re mna nt of what once wa~" quite extensive and deserves protection. Each and every one of those assembled for t h e final mug of billy tea de rived knowledge from the excursion and all expressed their thanks to t h e guide , Pa31 Foulk es . The next excursion planned , (date to be set ) will be to the ;,1angroves of Crab Creek t9 observe the birdlife with Angela Bornman.

The infant socie ty wa s bl essed by the atte ndance of two guest speakers . '! 'he first was Dr Bob Prince who spoke at ler.gth ot< t h e ecology of the dugong and t he rea son for hi s expedition to t he north west , which included aeria.l s urveys along t he coast a nd ou t to the Lacepedes. As Western Australia may o ne day provide the onl y safe have n for this endagered species , Dr Pri ne ~ointed t hat he would be searchin g for c lue s in rela::.ion to the marked decline in t h e numb ers of dugongs a l o n g t he coast. He pointed o ut that re<Cent research had revealed that the dugong will only bear a si n gle ca l f once eve r y three to seven years. Some interesting points that e merged were that the dugong ' s closest relative is in fact t he eleph a nt a nd , like the elephant , their life - span is about 60 years . Dr Pri nce and h is assistant will be taking samples of t h e seagrass es from t he coasta l seabed , from Broome to the northern t i p of Dampi e r Peninsula, as part of research on t he food sources of t he d ugo ng a nd will be speaki ng to me mbers of the Aboriginal co mmuni ties in r e lation to the hunt ing of dugong and the decline in numbe rs. The second speaker of the meeting was Dr Clive Minton , the leader of the 1985 N-W Australia Wa der Studies Expedition who recently carried 9ut banding a rid co unt s '.i.n respect to the l arge wader popu l at i on of the north west. (See Wader articl e this edition for further details) The second meeting came to a l ate c l ose followi ng discussion o n the forthcoming s ubmission in relation to the permanent closure of Riddell l~ce f to .s;-,e ll co ll ectors due to depl e tion of s hel lfish stock s , despite the closure implemented in Auqust ·1984.

Its epicentre which was 55 ..§5 kilometres North East of the town. Peter Gregson of the Perth Geophysical --= Observatory informed Broome News that earthquakes in the area were not that unusual. Since 1964, 14 earthquakes within 100 kilometres of Broome 100 kilometre.s of Broome had been recorded by the Observatory. Al though most were not so strong as 5.4, the last one to hit the town occurred on 23rd April 1979 and measured 5.9 at the epicentre. = Its epicentre was farther away however, being 200 kilometres north west Of. the town. He said that they will not be carrying out any geological investigations in the rise to assess · Broome' s seismic risk. They only carry out geological investigations wheri an area has been "ruptured". He agreed however that tremors measuring 5. 4 on the Richter Scale could cause damage in larger centres of population where there are more tal l buildings particularly if. they were . f orce. d no t rein By IAN GRAYSON. ·= = -=:: ·-:::.=-S:= - =~._.. 3 =:: _§==_ § ' ~alking Sf was the phone$ · and both of :::55 us realized $i at -. t he same:;:: time." ;:::::: ~ i5 ;:::: K. ~ "The telegraph::;;:; ~ poles were really i5 swaying· " 55 p == = · 55 "The whole room=:::_ strated shaking, 55 . including . my 55 bed, which I 5§ was laying on::= at the ti. me.

A. Museum is concerned about a number of errors and misinformation published in an article in the Kimberley Echo, 25 September 1989, concerning "A Management Report for the Lurujarri Heritage Trail, Broome, W.A." The following information is provided to clarify and correct the issues raised in the article. This report was prepared by officers of the Department of Aboriginal Sites to develop a system of management for Aboriginal sites along the coast from Minari to Entrance Point and up to 2 km inland. It provides a ~anagement plan wi. th recommendations for the protection of these sites. This stretch of the Broome coast is particularly rich in significant Aboriginal sites. This has been recognised with the estab1 ishment of a Heritage Trail by local Aboriginal people and the West Austral ian Heritage Committee. This coastline currently experiences very high levels of tourist and recreational . use . It was bel_iey:e.d that the opening of the Lurujarri Heritage Trail would increase visitation. Accordingly, the Department of Aboriginal Sites was approached by the principal custodians of the Lurujarri Heritage Trail Committee to examine the best ways to protect sites of significance in the area. The management plan tr :i. es to address this issue. It is therefore not a land claim. The report do.es not suggest the area is closed to the public; in fact the Heritage Trail is designed to encourage public access to the area. The management plan is aimed at ensuring that such acces~ does not damage any of the sites. Credibility of the Information on traditional aspects Information of these sites was provided by the principal custodian of the area. This individual is a well known and highly regarded Aboriginal elder in Broome whose knowledge of the area has been used extensively in the past by staff of the W.A. Museum and academic institutions. The m~jority of the sites, particularly those newly recorded, are principally of archaeological significance with extensive physical evidence that is readily visible and extremely fragile. The recording was undertaken . by Elizabeth Bradshaw and Rachel Fry who are qualified Archaeologists trained in the recognition and assessment of such sites and who have built up considerable experience in the area. Confusion over Protected Areas & Sites The Management Report includes four proposals for the declaration of Pro-. tected Areas under Section l 9 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 80. The Department of Aboriginal · Sites has recently written to landowners, the Shire of Broome and relevant Government Departments about these proposals. These four areas include 19 sites. A further 43 sites . are located outside the proposed Protected Areas. The declaration of a Protected Area would allow the Museum to carry out site management activity within these areas such as fencing, ere.cting signs and controlling access where the s.ites are under threat. The Report also defines the whole coastal strip as an Exclusion Zone. The concept does not have the legal ramifications of a Protected Area and is l)Ot necessarily aimed at preventing all activity and development. Rather, it ensures that consultation with the Department of Aboriginal Sites and Aboriginal people takes place in order that protection of sites is taken into consideration at the planning stage. All Aboriginal . sites are covered by the provisions of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 - 80 regardless if they are known to this Department or not. Section 17 of the Act makes it an offence to alter in any way an Aboriginal site without written permission from the Minister. It is our preference that · development plans are modified to avoid impacting sites. If however, this is not possible, and in order to avoid a breach of Section 17, the landowner can submit a notice in writing to the Trustees 4- �of the Western Australian Museum seeking the Minister's consent to use the land in question.

Cath Borthwick & Dawn Glass . . ,J .. �Humpback Whale Megaptera novaeangliae Whale Story J~st before midn.igh.t on. 12th. Oct_ a yo~n.g female H~mp b a c k ~hale ~as fo~­ n.d stranded at the high. tide mark aproximately one Km n.orth. of the Denham Road carpark at Cocon"t..it W e l l Local residents claim it was not on the beach that afternoon. It appea~s that the whale must have come in with the high tide around lOpm that night. She had not been mauled but had suffered a few gashes from the reef on the way into shore. The group who found the whale used a styrofoam drink container they were carrying to bring water from the sea to keep her skin moist . Five people remained with the .whale while two went to alert other people to bring back buckets, shovels and cover for the coming heat of the following day. Volunteer SES men were dn the scene at dawn. CALM personnel also arrived later in the day. However this human assistance proved to be of no avail as the whale died at appoximately 3-20am on Friday 13th October . Humpback~whale's The smooth black skin glistened under the moon as cool seawater cascaded from buckets across her smooth back. Air whooshed from her vents, warm and whale-ish, an enormous tear of mucous dripped and dangled from a large blinking eye . What could ·seven late night beach walkers hope to do with a beautiful cetacean stranded high on the sands at Coconut Well, the tide 50m away and rapidly retreating? Could we keep her alive during the night and protect' her 5~ metre bulk from the hot tropical sun until high tide the next morning at lOam? Then what would we do? Willing legs walked the distance back and forth between the waves and the whale, carrying the water vital to her survival. Gentle hands smoothed and caressed her heaving flanks, imparting heartfelt feeling of love and concern . .. ... Willing one of God's magnificent creatures to hold on through the night until we could help her return to her life giving home. One last sigh of breath and her huge jaw dropped ..... .. slack, baleen expose~ huge tongue lolling in her gaping mouth . She lay still .. . .. finished . It was a beautiful experience we all shared that night under a bright Kimberley moon. A feeling of love that gave us energy to work through the night endeavouring to help a wondrous fellow traveller on this gem of a planet we are hell-bent on de stroying. How did this whale come to be here? Why did seven friends decide on the spur of the moment to take a late night stroll along the northern reaches of Broome's beautiful Cable Beach, to discover what we did? One thing I know for sure. It was meant to happen and although our efforts proved futile, it was an experience I will .remember till my dying days and I go to join her in a sea of stars. MIDNIGHT WALKERS �~Humpback Whale The Humpback whale has a stocky body with a broad rounded head and extremely long flippers, which can be up. to one third of the animal's total length (up to 16m). There is a series of knobbly protruberances on the head, jaws and flippers, which often ha~e large barnacles growing on their summits. There is a noticeable rounded projection near the tip of the lower jaw, and the posterier margin of the tail flukes is scalloped and may also have barnacles growing along it. The large baleen plates are black, as are the back and sides of the body and sometimes the undersides, although it is more usual for the belly to have some white on it. The flippers and underside of the tail flukes are usually mostly white, and the pattern on the flukes has been found to be unique for each individual. Humpbacks feed on krill and_ small schooling fish, and when food is concentrated, the whale lunges through the patch with its mouth open, or may swim slowly on its side, straining the water. The Humpback has also devel.oped an intriguing method o~ r~mndir:1g up scattered prey, by swimming in a circle below the surface blowing bubbles to form a vertical 'bubble net'. This net traps the prey inside and the whale surfaces in the middle with its mouth open, collecting food on the way. The Humpback whale frequents coastal waters of New Zealand and Australia. Humpbacks are spectacular jumpers, being able to leap clear of the water. They usually roll in mid-air w~th their long flippers outstretched like wings and crash back into the water with an enormous splash. Humpbacks also swim some-times on their sides with one long flipper standing erect like a huge fish fin. Intensive hunting by foreign whaling fleets in antactic waters in the 1950s greatly reduced the stocks of Humpbacks In Australia, Dr. R. G. Chittleborough studied Humpbacks caught at the shore stations on the ~ast and west coasts.

The decision follows extensive community debate and considerable local support for the proposal. Minister for Local Government Kay Hallahan said that the joint venture comprising Australian City Properties and Ansett Transport Industries. She said the proposal was not to be confused with the recommendations of the Transport Strategy Commission which was already considering the provision of an international airport facility in the North West. Mrs Hallahan said that the current airport site constrained the growth of the town and posed a hazard to the town in the event of an accident. Broome stands to benefit considerably from these proposals, which will help underpin the town's growing tow:ism industry. Under the proposals, the joint venturers will be able to develop a new domestic airport, costing between $25 million and $35 million. The agreements will ensure that there is unrestricted access to the airport both to passengers and aircraft operators. The proposals would be subject to strict aviation, enviromental and other approvals . They involve building a longer runway to enable larger air craft to land at Broome. The proposed new airport may at some stage be able to be upgraded to ful 1 international standard. Current plans involve relocating Broome airport to land on Roebuck Plains station, south of the town. Under the terms of agreement between the shire and the joint venturers, the present airport site would be redeveloped by the joint venturers for a variety of uses in 1 ine with the Department of Land Administration's Broome Structure Plan, which has been available for public comment. It will be necessary to rezone the land and the local community will have every opportunity to comment on redevelopment proposals. Mrs Hallahan said the shire of Broome sought State Government approval of the proposal to meet requirements or the Local Government Act . MEDIA RELEASE BY WARWICK SMITH SHADOW MINISTER. FOR ABORIGINAL AFFAIRS Review Deaths in Custody· Call Aboriginal critics of ~he Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths custody ought to be listened to, Warwick Smith, Shadow Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, said today . Mr Smith said the Royal Commission, originally i ntended to cost . $2.2 million had cost over $12 million to date and had a projected final cost of $30 mill ion. "When it was set up the Royal Commission had a staff of 12 . Its final report was due in December 1988. Since then its brief has expanded enormously. This includes Aboriginal Issues. Units to examine the underlying issues associated with deaths in custody. The Royal Commission nQw has a staff of 110 .and its f inal report is due in December 1990 '.' Mr Smith said there had been much criticism of the Royal Commission among Aborigines and non - Aborigines alike. "Charles Perkins has called for a review of the work of the Royal Commission. His view is that examining the underlying causes is 'a lot of rubbish ... They know exactly what the underlying causes are. ' He believes there has been no justice to date for Abor i ginal people and the Royal Commission has provided a bonanza f or lawyers." Mr Smith said the Royal Commission was in danger of becoming a legal quagmire which could defeat the whole purpose of the inquiry. "It is important that the Royal Commission provide posit i ve directions, policies and ·practices and that the criminal justice system is seen to be, and is, Australians regardless fair to all of race .

MARGUERITE JOY ELLIOTT 7 MAITLAND ST, GERALDTON, 6530 PHONE 921 826 Ex-visitor's view I heard your comments regarding Broome airport up-grading on the radio this morning, in particular the fact that the native people have not been consulted. .~ Why should they be? They have .rtot shown any interest in~the land _.over the past 100 years but now that there is a possibility of some of it becoming of value they now want part of it, which is becoming the norm of this race throughout the country', no doubt foste+ed by a number of persons of the white race who have no scruples and who have some political standing or connections. It is time these people were told to come forward into the world of today, the Greeks, Scandinavians and Africans are not still living on their mythology, and at least they did , something with the land and . not just skim the top off it. I have visited your town a couple of times, the first I was pleased to find a town ' of history even if it was a bit sad, delapidated and its exhibits neglected. The second time I found the town up-dating itself for the benefit of developers and supposedly wealthy tourist, the average Australian holidaymaker was and is being priced out, but he or ~he is the one prepared to spend their money, but like myself have now crossed Broome off our list of places to visit and are advising others to do lJkewise. You have one person responsible for this and the influence is spreading to places further south . As a visitor to this State, but a possible future resident, do not let the coast of this State become another Queensland coast. Citizenship 1989 is Australia's National Year of Citizenship. Across the country, permanent residents and mi grants are being encouraged to officially apply for Australian citizenship. Earlier this ye~r, all residents received letters from Prime Minister Hawke to this point, al thoug·h the people most ·keenly interested in becoming true .Z\ustralians . w~re not included in this invitation Australia's illegal immigrants. Conservative estimates of this group reach from 750,000 to 1,000,000 people, all of whom manage to survjve in this society without taxpayers assistance. ·In past years, Australia has occasionally called an amnesty for illegal immigrants to step forward and formalise thei_r status. In this Year of Citizenship, I feel it would be appropriate to , call such an amnesty, and to then re-examine the current pol i.ci es on migration. I suggest that criteria on this amnesty include personal sponsorship (with character references) of each applicant by a committee of nine native-born Australians, who would vouch for the applicant's abilities and personal reputation in the community; and a declaration signed by the applicant refusing to take unemployment benefits. If these people ·were to be granted citizenship, and given tax ·file numbers, this would add a considerable amount to our national revenue and also save an incredible amount of taxpay~rs' money that is currently being spent j_n pursuing them by the Immigration Department, often without success.

LETIEKS .CONTINUED MacAlpine Tropical Timber Ban This is the reason for my letter to Senator Ri .c hardson which I invite Broome News to publish . I hope that Alistair McAlpine' s stand · on this issue will help tip the balance in Canberra towards a total import ban on all tropical rainforest timber. This could conceivably pave the way for a world-wide ban. I recently sent this letter to the Federal Minister for the Environment Senator Richardson. It concerns my meeting with Alistair McAlpine and his highly commendable decision to no · longer use tropical rainforest timber in his developments. 0 Although I expressed some reservations about Lord McAlpine' s tropical timber ban in the last edition of Broome News, it is, as far as I can make out, a world first. No other developer has taken such a bold step on behalf of the global environment by agreeing to abandon the use of tropical timber in his buildings. Below is a copy of my letter to Senator Richardson:THE FEDERAL MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, CANBERRA. Dear Senator Richardson, The Federal government is reportedly about to announce a consultancy investigation of the tropical timber trade which will include a look at banning all tropical timber imports (Weekend Australian, Sept. 23). The Federal government is currently considering a total import ban on all tropical rainforest timber, and is setting up ·a committee to investigate the tropical timber trade. A petition with over 3 million signatures from conservationists around the world has also recently been handed to the United Nations. It calls for an international ban on the trade of tropical timber. Could you please take note of the forward following information and committee it to the investi~ative as a submission . I would also like you to reply stating your own views on the enclosed submission. If the Australian government decides to implement an import ban on tropical timber it wil 1 be the first country to do so. SUBMISSION Broome in Western Australia is one of Australia's fastest growing towns and its growth is due primarily to one larg.e developer Lord Alistair McAlpine. Although we import only about 1 percent of the world's internationally traded tropical timber, logging company representatives are lobbying furiously in Canberra against the proposed import ban. They fear a domino effect· whereby Lord other countries will follow our lead. of McAlpine the British is the ex-Treasurer Conservative party and he owns one of the world's largest .construction companies. It is against this background that Lord McAlpine' s VO 1Un tary ban . On the use of tropical timber becomes highly signif i.cant. He works closely with the W. A. St;ate government arid has large new resorts planned for other areas of Western Australia as well as Broome. For . if a major developer such as Lord McAlpine can do without tropical timber then why are we importing it anyway? Why can't all developers do without it? ' He also hopes to construct in Broome the only privately owned and operated international airport in Australia. /J �SPECIFIED SERVICES PTY. LTD.

If you are, one of those people who use terms such as 'grumbling greenie', and/or feel that progress is more important than looking after our planet, where do you get your justification for this? Js it really heartfelt, or is it due to group pressure or maybe because haven't taken time out to see or under.stand the beauty and fragility of our world and its limited resources? Humankind has been on this earth for tens of thousands of years and for the majority of this time has lived in relative harmony with nature, but now with our ever increasing abilities to manipulate and synthesize we unbelievingly are destroying the very basis of our support system. So why have the attitude that even if we would prefer Broome to develop in a different way, whatever the desire maybe, that our view points are not important enough, whose town is it after all, aren't we the locals who should really matter, especially those of us who have aspirations for a long history with Broome not just cash in on a growth curve? Take note of the many east coast towns where tourism has taken over. Think about how much power just a few individuals could stand to gain. Don't have bl ind faith in local, state or federal bodies for even if the laws and policies are in our interests now they can, and are, charged and twisted to suit. Don't become one sided or blinded by the concept of what we don't know. I have just wined and dined in places in Darwin which in my opinion ·are far superior to what we have in Broome, and at cheaper prices. Don't ·forget about the consequences of increased population size such as pollution, increased useage of water and land resources, and the encroaching of manmade strucc · and the encroaching of manmade structures on our natural enviroment. We as individuals must be allowed freedom of speech and freedom of choice but this right becomes harder to attain the more that control is given tc fewer people. So beware. PIPPA CHRYSTAL. page so what has all this got to do with Broome? Plenty, for as well as the fact that Broome and the Kimber Leys are sti 11 relatj_vely unspoil. L by humankind's activities and thus need very careful manaqement, it is also important that whereever we live . or whatever we do, that we realise we are all responsible for the future of our world.

I accept that . my vi e wpoint is only shared by a small minority but to collect labels such as 'grumbU.ng greenie' doesn't make s ense for two reasons at least. Firstly, I'm not grumbling, I'm merely expressing an opinion which is an ~ppreciation of our earth, and secondly because my appreciation is not just for those parts of nature that are green but for the totality of land, air and water and the whole specturm of life that has expressed itself upon this planet. I have just been to Darwin for a world symposium on mangoes and thanks to the destructive ~ use of power of a s e ction of the workforce, who. consider their n~eda so important that they must put the pe ople of this country at ransom, I was forced to trave l by road.

One might be to what extent this exercise is a manifestation of the Federal Labour government's poJic~ on deregulating the air transport industry. If Broome is to be some sort of test case to see how air trarisport can be privatised, seri ous questions arise as to who can own an airport in Austral ia. Wha t are the qualifications, the "fit and proper" (as · in broadcast ing ) of airport ownership? Are airports Lo be traded aroun d in the market like other real estate? Are they to be flogged off in corporate rationalisations? Could Broome become ~n international drug distribution point if the Columbian cocaine cartel buys the airport from the developer, or the developer's estate? Another question mi ght be to ask who is in charge of land ma nagement in this State? All the land in this exer cise is Crown Land. This land ha$ been leased to the Commonwealth government (304 ha) to operate an airport. If the lease is transferred to the Shire of Broome under some scheme, it is trans ferred with the permission of the owner which is the Crown which is the people of Western Australia ~ represented in this case by the Minister for Lands. The W.A. government has a land use policy which is simply that wh e n the lease conditions are no longer being met , the land reverts back to the Crown land-bank. The Minister may then call for expressions of Interest to use t he land for specif ic purposes or arrange for public . auction or tender to sell the land, accora1ng co a iur~ term stuctural plan for land development and management. Curren t events seem to have .it -t h.is way:* We have a group of developers made up of Lord "It's only Broome for Christ's sake" McAlp i ne, Sir .Peter "I'll close the airli ne system down a nd sell the assets" Abeles, and ex-Australian multibillionaire Rupert Murdoch. Undisclosed deals with the Shire· Council (one third of which are Abeles - Murdoch employees) elected by the archaic, undemocratic local I/ government voting system - currently under review - which favours property owning businesses, many of' which McAlpine has an interest in. * A 304 ha block of land in the middle of Broome which McAlpine, Abeles, Murdoch consortium gets for $2 million even though valuations of up to 100 times that amount have been put on it. * The relevant government authority - the Dept. of Land Administration does not seem to know . what is going on, and the Minister responsible, new in the job, gives a kneejerk response to eyents. Finally, we have some economic fundamentals. 1. Land as a Community resource. As this is obviously an exercise in alternative economics, why iet·McAlpine, Abeles and Murdoch nl l of whom are already fabulously wealthy, get away with all the profits which will be made from the existing airport land? Why not go one step further and ensure the funding of non - government, nonprofit community based projects that have so often died on the vine for lack of funding? How many years have people been trying to get a decent home for the aged and infirm in Broome? And even now they are still being stuffed around by governments and the property owners p4ppets. The aged and disabled pr ojec't is only one of many which would benefit from a percentage of the income of the gross rental revenue of the approx. 200 ha due to be developed for profit. Compensation for taxpayers investment. Over the years the taxpayers of Australia have invested millions of dollars into the operation of Broome airport. Any $2 mil Lion sum do.e s not cover that investment. If the old airport land is to be turned over to private investors, one can assume that they will be receiving an acceptable return on that investment. An alternative strategy that could be examined is the formatj on of a Trust with an independant, community based Board of Trustees who on the one hand represent the taxpayers investment and on the other, represent the development of non-government, non-profit community based organizations whose history has shown that governments and private interests are generally unwillinq or incapable of supportinq financially.

Craig was signed up for the apprenticeship last May and is now training under Mike Tanner who se business Broome Jewellery Co. creates jewellery for Broome · Pearls P/L. Broome born and bred, Craig' s knowledge of pearls has b ~en handed on from his father, Hiroshi Hamaguchi , who was a luqqer captain for many years befor,'e developing his o wn pearl farm. Crai·g' s 3 brothers ·are working in the family business but CrRig is drawn . to the creative use of pearl and wants a future j_n mak i ng Broome pearl jewellery. It is only in the 1980's that jewellers have based themselves i n Broome to produce Broome pearl jewellery. The first to do so was John Miller who has since left Broome. However;, in recent times there have been up to 5 jewellers based in Broome, specializing in pearl jewellery. Craig's first efforts at making jewell ery ·wer~ as a student at Nulungu Col 1ege. When he finished school, Craig went to see Pet.er Meier, a jeweller for Linne ys, about getting work in the peArl jewellery trade. Craig commenced work with Peter on a proba tionary basis . Peter, who trained as P. jeweller in Zur ich , · Switzerl a nd and has experienced the trade at an international level, says that Craig has "got the ~otential and abi lity to be a very good jewel J er" . However, when Peter signed 1up Craig· for his apprentices hip, he was a l ready training a n assistant, Budge Jones. Soon Peter found it difficult to devote the - time needed to igstruct 2 people and cope with the very fu1 l wor kload of supplying jewellery for Linneys . Consequently , he approached Mike Tanner and arranged to tr'a nsfer Craig's apprenticeship to him. Mike, who did his training under t he Linton family in Perth a nd und ~rtoo k 5 years study at the London Sir John Cass School of Art , came to Broome 4 years ago .from Fremantle as "an America's Cup refugee" . Initially, he only planned to stay for 12 mon ths to l earn about pearl jewellery but became fully e ngrossed in the work he re . Now Mike's enthusiasm will for Broome ' s pearl jewellery benefit Craig's training. Craiq's k ee nness for his c hosen trade is bPinq main tained as he learns more of t.he techniques . Recently, Craig comple ted one of his first solo pieces of jewellery a pendant featuring a go ld plate s hark mounted on mother of pe arl. This involved starting wjth a lump of gold which had to be melted down, then rolling and constr ·ucting the gold pieces, as well as piecing the s hark out of gold plate and inlaying Lhe mothe r. of pearl into the gold. Craig's fa mi ly and friends are very support i ve of his decision to become the first Broome trained jeweller. With Broome jewel l ers showing their supremacy in the Pearl Jewellery Design Awards and Broome jewellery being increasingly well received in Australia, Craig seems assured of a great future .

Grace ' s scope for developing her art work was somewhat restricted by · the demands of raising her ~our c hildr en! on her own and their very c rampe d home in a one-bedroo~ flat in the Park Court complex. Soon Grace, al ong with others at the Ar·t e ntre, was producing wood carvings wh ich were received ve ry enthusia~ti ca ll y. This initial success e n couraged ber to try acr~li c paintings . Grace's pain ti ngs have a unique style wh ich refl ects her background. As a ba by Grace was taken from he~ pa~e~ts whom she never met again un til s he was twenty. and raised at the St. Francis Xavi er Miss i?~ School at Wand~ring. Grace explains, "Older Abor 1g l na l people can use the stories Lhey were brought 1up with but 1 wasn't brought up wi 8h them." Instead her paintings combine some traditiopal dot art influence with realisti ~ animals like frilled neck lizards, 1 kangaroos and emus often set aga ns t a red sun. 38' at work o n a s ilk screen printing project~ Grace's links with the lush South west bush are a pparent fro m the fact she uses green in her work which is unusual in Aboriginal art. As well as developing her pai nting , Grace also worked on her a mb iti on to learn silk screen printi ng . When Grace finished her schooling at the Wandering mission she stayed on a nd worked with the nuns for whom she did some sewing. Then she went to Perth and got work with a lady who ran a c urta in mak ing business which e nabled Grace to become a n accomp 1 i shed seams tress. I n Broome Da wn Wright, a keen supporLer of local artists a nd the owner of "Kimberley Kreations", taughL Grace so me silk screen printi ng techniques. Using mainly Aboriginal ani mal designs a nd brigh t colours, especially green and pink, Grace started printing T-shirts, shorts a nd bags. Broome's renowne d band "Scrap Me tal" chose to wear T-shirts designed a nd produc ed by Grace on one of their tour s. Now Grace has set up a n enterpr _i·se called "Jangkurr" which is one local Aboriginal word for cloth i ng. �Gra,c e Fielding In July she finally obtained a Homeswest house in the new subdivision off Port Drive so - she now has more space to develop her artwork in her home. ln this year's Shinju Matsuri ~rts and crafts competition Grace won the first prize for silk screen printing_ Ken Nielson, the former Co - ordinator of Goolarabooloo, identifies Grace as one of several Broome artists who have built up their reputations as notable artists . Goolarabooloo which is now largely self-funding, only purchases art of saleable quality and about half of this is wholesalec.l to galleries around Australia. Broome artists like Grace, Rosie Charlie, Glenys Ward and Lucy Gill have work which is attracting attention throughout Australia. At the recent exhibition of "Traditional and Comtemporary Aboriginal Art of the Kimberley" arranged by Goolarabooloo at the Broome Art Gallery, the two paintings by Grace attracted keen interest from inter-state. From that exhibition emerged the prospect of a one woman exhibition of Grace's work at a Melbourne gallery in the first oart of next year. Meanwhile Grace is continuing to develop her natural talents and hopes that one day her art will bring enough income to support her family.

I he ~ i shop of North West Austra 11 a, the Rt Revd Gera Id Muston, announced the appointment this week. A new episcopal region wi 11 be formed within the diocese and the new regional bishop wi 11 be assistant to Bishop Muston. Bishop Muston also announced that the new regional bishop · wl 11 be Archdeacon Bernard Buckland, Rector of Broome. He w 111 cont Inue as Rector of Broome, and his parish duties wi II remain his chief responslbi 1lty. This appointment Is - announced s imultaneously with that of a very similar post in the Goj~leld_s area of the Diocese of Perth. Archdeacon Ben Wright, at present Rector of Scarborough, Is to be the new ~ec~or of Kalgoorlie and Regional Bishop of the Goldfields. As in the Kimberley, he will give local leadership to the clergy In that area. The two new bishops will be consecrated In St. George's Cathedra I , Pe.rth, on A 11 Sa Ints Day, Tuesday November 1st. Announcing the appointment, Bishop Muston said that the proposal for one of the senior clergy of the Kimberley to serve as a regional bishop for the area had been under discuss ion for about three years, and had been approved by the Diocesan Synod in Geraldton In 1986. "There has been a strong f eeling that the church needed an episcopal presence In the area so remote from the diocesan headquarters In Geraldton," he said. "It will be a new low-key dimension of episcopacy, exercised by one of our senior parish priests, and will provide a focus of leadership In an area which, though not heavily populated, is distinct and self-aware." • There are many paral leis between the ·two new episcopal areas:- the Kimberley and the Goldflelds. Both bishops · will also be rector of a parish. Both will have a small IS APPOIN TED number of clergy working with them. Both areas are remote from their diocesan centres. Yet both have had the experience of an anglican bi shop living within them in the past. Bishop Muston said that Archdeacon Bernard Buckland the expe~ience and qualifications for this new post. He Is our most senior . pr iest , having served in the diocese for more than twenty fi ve years, including twice in the Kimberley. He is a rea l bush priest, loved and respected by people al I over the North West. He has full confidence of the c lergy_ of the Kimberley area." "He Is wonderfully supported by his wife, Coralie, who Is herself engaged in a wide range of ministries with women." ha~ Archdeacon Bernard Russe 11 Buck Iand was born at Wollongong on March 19th, 1932. He studied for the priesthood at Moore College , Sydney, and served a curacy at St Paul's, Lithgow , NSW (1955-58). All the rest of his ministry has been in 'bush' dioceses, Initially with the Bush Church A id Soci ety. He served first in the Diocese of Adelaide at Frankl in Harbour and Ceduna and then began his long ministry In North Western Aus~ tral la. He was Rector of Mount Magnet (1963-68), Derby (1969-75) and Northampton (1975-86). In 1986 he returned to the. Kimberley as Rector of Broome. He became a canon of Holy Cross Cathedral, Geraldton, In 1973, and has been Vicar General of the Diocese since 1981. He has been Archdeacon of the Kimberley since 1986. In 1980 he served as a Rector of a parish In the Ang 11can Church of Canada, on exchange with a Canadian Priest. He has for many years been c losely Involved In the Scouting movement, and Is at present the Commissioner for the Kimberley reg ion. He holds the Si Iver Acom, Award, Medal of Merit of the Scout Association of Austral la.

Broome has excellent musicians as Indicated on Saturday. Broome music Is gaining nationwide recognition, as Indicated by the response to Scrap Metal's Australian tour with Midnight 011. Tourists come to Broome to exPerlence that 'special essence' to which Broome musicians make a great contribution. Why then are so many of Broome's musicians unemployed? What Is It that compels the entertainment venues In this town to Import musicians from Perth? Broome's musicians are Increasingly being employed as a last resort when Perth bands are unaval Iable or pul I out without notice. I find the new category for Broome as a 'tropical paradise' as a little Incongruous. It doesn't matter how many palm trees are planted, It will still be semiarid. The present situation In this town Indicates that 'See Perth - come to Broome' may be a more apt logo. It Is time the Broome community returned some support to Broome's musicians. Think about It.

The comments I hear from Eastern Staters, especlal ly those who have Just had a holiday In Broome and wish never to return, Is that the attitude Is· bad, especlal ly In • directing people on after week or so of Broome, and leaves much to be desired. It Is time Broome people gave a little, for a change, Instead of taking all the time. When travellers come North for a hol lday they must wish to go on and see the rest of the Kimberley. What problem Is It then to direct them on to the next town, and what to see and do further on? The people of Broome must think that these holidays rrust start and end there. With the high cost of I lvlng and unsmiling faces most of them are only too willing to leave. It makes people happy to know someone wl I I Ing -ly directed them on to other things and wants them to see the rest of the Kimberley. Are the people of Broome afraid that they might find t~ hospitality better elsewhere? I'd do something about It then If I was you. · There are a lot of people doing a lot of hard work to give the tourist something to do and see after they leave Broome. After all, they must have to have somev.here to go once they have exhausted their finances and got their suntan? Trips up Into the ranges and gorges are not easy to organize. The roads need work and . In some places there are no roads at al I; this we have to thank our · local Government for! Fuel and food has to be catered for and al I this takes a lot of effort and fore-thought. The people who have taken these trips have said It was worth ,every minute and the experience well worth tatlng. Come on Broome, Fair go.

' 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.

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.

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.

Dovvd Ing re cent I y announced the estab1 I shment of a nevv 2. 000 sq. k I I ometre nat Iona I park In the Wa I ocott In I et area north east of Derby. Mr Dowding said the new "Walcott Inlet National Park" was mostly untouched wt ldemess, which was divided Into twa areas of contrasting landforms by the Walcott Inlet which ran 50 kilometres inland off Col I Ier Bay. The northern area featured undulating volcanic lowlands which rose to sheer I imestone escarpements at the edge of the Warton Plateau. South of the Inlet were the rugged boulder strawn valleys, ridges and gorges of the King Leopold Ranges. "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."

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.

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,."

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. By the time you read this , the cyclone calenders and information sheets wi 11 have been distributed at the shopping centres. If you miss out, try the Shire Office, Post Office or Pol Ice Station.

These North West ports are the latest within the Ansett network . with the new system, which provides on the spot seat al location and baggage acceptance. The Ansaboard system replaces the manual seat al location process and can automatically check through passengers on the local Ansett W.A. flight and up to three connecting Ansett W.A. fl lghts. "The Ansaboard fac I Ii ty effect Ive Iy e 11 mInates · the need for passengers to recheck at connecting airports," said Ansett W.A. Marketing Manager, Mr Peter Barrington. "The check- In can be made at any open desk, rather than a designated position, which also means that there wi Ii be no queues. It Is designed to make the whole procedure quick, efficient and hassle free for the traveller," he said. Ansaboard automatically I inks with Ansett's Ansamatic reservations system which wl 11 provide the North West Ansett W.A. counters with the · most up-to-date technology avat Iable to provide better service for Its passengers.

The system is used worldwide by more than 30 airlines and has been tat lored to handle both Austral Ian domestic and International fl lghts. •·••• & GOt:S BANANAS Ansett WA Is helping to further promote the North West by serving Cavendish var I ety bananas as part of Its lnfl lght menu. The bananas, which come from the first farm developed under the Ord River Scheme, will be served on al I Ansett WA fl tghts out of Kununurra. "Serving the bananas is part of our on-going commitment to promoting the region - this time by offering fresh produce," said Ansett Marketing Manager WA, Mr Peter Barrington. "We purchase the ,bananas in Kununurra and deliver them direct to the catering services at the airport," BIRDS PROTECTED Co-operation betvveen Austral la and the People's Republ le of China In nature conservation vvl 11 be enhanced by an agreement for the pt-otect I on of m I g ratory birds. Over 80 species of bird are affected. The Minister for the Enviroment, Senator Richardson, said the agreement provides for co-operation between the two countries to protect the birds and their habitat. China and Australia have agreed to exchange research data and publ !cations on migratory 'birds as well as to undertake research programs and specific conservation measures. The Migratory Birds Agreement with China corn. plements a similar agreement with Japan and together they wt II encourage closer and more cooperative ties between the three countries, Senator Richardson said.

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.

DINGO WILL ERNIE BE IN BROOME ON JANUARY 2ND TO COMMENCE. WORKSHOPS AND REHEARSALS. JIMMY CHI AND THE DIRECTOR OF "BRAN NUE DAE" ANDREW ROSS AT LOMBARDINA o~t of Broome, West A~stralia emerges ori.e of the most talked abo~t theatrical . e~eri.ts for mari.y y e a r s Set in the open air setting Sun Pictures in the famous tropical pearling town BRAN NUE DAE is the remarkable story of an Aboriginal boy's flight from the city of Pert~, to his homeland at Djarinjin (Lombadina). His journey in search of identity love and security takes us across the state in an extraordinary blend of rock musician road movie, comedy, song, dance and romance. JIMMY CHI In Jimmy is a remarkable talent. BRAN NUE DAE his haunting, sometimes rousing music, poetic, often satirical biting lyrics and fine storytelling ability combine to produce extraordinary theatre. BRAN NUE DAE derives from sources as disparate as traditional Aboriginal performance, the Hollywood ~usicals and the rituals of the Catholic Mass. It evokes Broome with splendid atmosphere, it is funny, sensual, forthright and uplifting. The design frames the landscape of the famous pearling town, with the Setting Sun Open air picture theatre on a stage surrounded by water. Visually beautiful, it combines the traditional and the contemporary with the characteristic Aboriginal use of earth, fire and water. BRAN NUE DAE is certainly a major even_t in Western Australian drama. It is an important new direction such as Dorothy Hewett was in the 1970' s and Jack Davis in the 1980's. ERNIE DINGO Ernie Dingo first performed as an actor with the Western Australian Theatre Company's production of KULLARK by Jack Davis. He subsequently performed in Festival of Perth productions of THE DREAMERS and NO SUGAR befo:r:e embarking on an international film career, including appearances in TUDAWALI, THE FRINGE DWELLERS and CROCOD~LE DUNDEE 11. Ernie recently appeared in television in the award winning A WALTZ THROUGH THE HILLS, and in the current comedy show FAST FORWARD. �Tree Grants more Up for grabs in. than. $300,000 gro~ gr-an.ts to trees_ Greening Australia (WA) Inc chairman Frank Schaper said today that grants were now available to community groups, local government agencies and individuals to contribute to the One Billion Trees programme.

It has lots of infor~ mation about what's been going on around Broome in the past few weeks. St. Mary's School play has been written up by the kids involved; and the paper now has a columnist called 'Ford of the North', who hopes to become a regular feature. Mr. John Ford has given his phone nUIJWer for anyone who wishes to tell him s.omething they think should be included in the column. This should not deter those Broomi tes ' / who wish to have their own words on record, from contributing to the paper. 'Broome News' had a fund-raising party on 9th December which proved. to be a very good night, · enjoyed by performers, kids, Mums and Dads, in fact everyone who came. We wish to thank all those who helped make the evening a success. These include Specified Services P/L for the shellgrit on which the stage was set; Ian Grayson and Peter Croll for their "Off-cut Stage" (which is made , from re-cycled timber and is for hire); Broome Equipment Hire who very generously donated chairs for the evening; Phill Sproull for ·operating the P.A. system; Cheb for his presence at the gate; Dave Dureau for his mangoes; Vanessa Read for her alcohol-free punch; all the singers who gave of their time and talent; and last but not least, all of you who came along to enjoy the night with us and help in our fundraising efforts. Thank-you. Here ' s wishing you and Broome a very successful and rewarding 1990 from all the volunteers who put 'Broome News ' . together. ( New workers wi 11 always be welcome!)

The experimental submarine is a well known landmark in the Seaview Shopping Centre carpark. Although visitors frequentlyquery whether it is a Japanese miniature submarine, it was actually a device made by Robert Graham in Dongara for catching crayfish. Ironically it was only ever submerged for ballast tests and no attempt has been made to check its effectiveness for catching crayfish. Kailis Pty Ltd. for whom the submarine was made, donated it to the Historical Society after it was used in the 1970 Shinju Matsuri parade to depict the "Yellow Submarine" from the Beatles hit tune. The German 77mm mounted gun is one of several that were presented to selected towns in Australia after World War 1. It was made at a Krupps munition factory in Germany and was one of the guns captured by the 44 th battalion at the Somme Offensive on 24th August 1914. John and Kevin Garstone saved the gun from the rubbish tip and presented it to the Museum. The flying boat engine is from one of the flying boats that was wrecked in Roebuck Bay, just out from Town Beach, by a Japanese air raid in 1942. Seventeen flying boats were evacuating Dutch people from Java ( Indonesia) to Perth, and had made a refuelling stop in Broome. Unfortunately, after spending about twenty years on the seabed, the engine is heavily corroded and experts predict that it will only last about another five years. A hood is going to be built over the engine to protect it as it is now too fragile to be moved under cover . The restoration of these relics is one of many projects the Historical Society has been involved in this year. Another is the setting up of a display of the history of the local "Demeo" Meatworks. If anyone has any printed material, photos or other items related to the meatworks and the Historical Society would appreciate being able to acquire, loan or copy them. So please clean out your old storage drawers and check through your photo albums if you've had some association with the meatworks as material is proving hard to come by . Visitors far and wide come to Broome's Museum. Even in the doldrums of the Air pilots' dispute the Museum still attracted 1,719 visitors in September, 1462 visitors in October and 776 visitors in November . During the Wet Season months the Museum will still be open each morning from 10.00a.m . to 12 noon except from 25th December to 2nd January. If you are staying in Broome over the ·wet make a visit to your Museum which is now air-conditioned. ALISON LAWRENCE THE RESTORED FLYING BOAT THE FOREGROUND AND THE CATCHER" AT THE REAR.

It seemed to me that maybe more people would read Broome News and advertise in it and come to recognise it as a real community paper if it could somehow be spiced up a bit with a few bits and pieces of locally flavoured comments. So then I had another yarn, to a young lady this time, and gave her five items to put in the paper which I re_c:Koned would attract the attention of a · lot of readers and maybe make some of them smile a little, or maybe not.!!! This lady said that since four of the i terns seemed to indicate a sort of lack of comprehension on my part of what the city fathers had been up to lately, I would have to put my name to it and write it in the form of a letter. So I told her that would take all the fun out of it. I mean everybody knowing who it was thp.t was writing this stuff, and also I stated I was a bit chicken hearted on that deal for a number of reasons. It was decided to see what the other committee members thought, so later on a second young lady telephoned to say the committee liked the idea of a regular column but they didn't want to get chucked in the slammer after each edition. I then agreed in principle to spend as much time looking for nice things to say as I will sifting through the rest. I also de~troyed the original submission which in any case mentioned only trivia such as roundabouts, street landscaping (both ends of Guy · Street), the scattering of rocks at the junction of Guy and Pembroke Streets, and cycle paths. Does the Guy - Street cycle path terminate at the east end of Guy Street as the sign says? Does it start again immediately after the sign and go to the school via Weld Street as inicated by the city fathers? and that sort of thing. I also stated categorically that Broome's taxi drivers are not the worst drivers in Broome in spite of all the rumours to the contrary. And now none of those stories are to be printed. Well, probably not. Not yet anyway. · Maybe we will have some fun in the next edition. I wi 11 probably need a little help with this from time to time.

His family moved to Australia in 1948. Ten years later he read the book, "The Framework of a Christian State", by Father J. J. Cahill, S. J. which inspired him to reconsider the values and beliefs of his early Catholic up-bringing. This led to him participating in the courses offered by_ the . Aquinas Academy's School of Philosophy and theology for lay ·people. In 1963 he was accepted into the seminary of the ' Marist Fathers and was ordained in 1969. When I went to see him at the Barker Street Catholic Centre he told me of his work in the renewal and Evan<Jel isation Ministry which takes him to many countries. This year he has visted New Zealand, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, the UK, Ireland, the USA and Singapore as well as travelling around Australia. The project which motivates his travel is the initiation of a decade of worldwide Evangelisation between 1990 and the year 2000. With a global effort, it is hoped that by the end of the century more than 51% of the world's people will be christians. Father Jack said: "Christians on many continents are preparing for the decade in at least three ways. 1. By mobilising literally thousands of school children, sick folk, retired folk and contemplatives to pray for this initiative. "' 2. Sponsoring a 'Launch Event' in 1990, of a high degree of visibility, so that all christians and non christians in a specific region are aware tha·t something extraordinary is about to commence. "Many regions have set up ecumenical and denominational Committees for Evangelisation". Father Jack expressed a wish " that the Christians of Broome would respond to the worldwide move of the Spirit, and come up with there own ecumenical and denominational initiatives."

"The visit of four Xavier College boys who spent one term here last •year had a significant impact. Some of our students realised they were as good and as capable as the Xavier boys. It will be good for the college that in 1990 not only will another four Xavier boys come here but four of our Year 10 or Year 11 boys will go to Xavier College, in Melbourne. Last year we had one Year Twelve student this year we had five Year 12, s. Next year we have ten Year 12' s already enrolled. A few years ago we started with seven Year 11 's and finished with one, (Monica Lee). This . year we started with 18 in Year 11 & 12 and finished with 18. Those figures are very significant and indicate an acceptance and recognition on behalf of our senior students that Nulungu is providing a proper academic, fully rounded education. Indeed this is borne out by examples such as Geoffrey Drummond. Last year, Geoffrey was one of our 11/12' s. This year he was accepted into Curtin University and has passed every subject. He is proud to have been part of Nulungu and always · drops in on his way back to Derby. Another example is Jeremy Muir. The Institute of Engineers invites each Senior Secondary School to nominate it's best student in Maths 11, Maths 111, Physics and · Chemistry to receive a special award. Jeremy was chosen as that student from all those studying Year 12 under Distance Education - TERRANCE JACK BEING PRESENTED WITH THE "EFFORT AND ACHIEVEMENT AWARD" BY MICHAEL LAKE. their senior First Aid Certificates. This year we have been able. to form the Nulungu College Band. It has been made possible by the tremendous enthusiasm of our music teacher, Ben Raja, and the great generosity of Lord McAlpine. Lord McAlpine presented us with a cheque of $4,500 for the purchase of band equipment. Our fashion parade on August 31st proved another outstanding event. For the first time a number of boys took part and they modelled their clothes with great professionalism. Nulungu continued to dominate the inter-school sports in athletics, football and cricket. Our art continued to impress at the Shinju ' Festival and indeed to our many visitors throughout the year. The Year 11 & 12' s put on ·a moving drama and poetry night; four Year 11 & 12 students again gained awards in Pitman's typing examinations; Karen Atkinson, Paddy Roe and Franz developed extremely successful camps for · Broome students using the Heritage Trail and . the Year ll's continued to benefit from their annual Perth excursion. The final area of great progress and success that I would like to highlight is the Aboriginal Studies Sector. Joyce Hudson, Sarah Yu, Terri Lee and all our staff who have helped them have ·established a very professional and successful unit". in W. A.

I had to crawl on my knees and hands. My legs and hands were very slack and tired so I was shame to bark but Miss Anne told me to concentrate to bark and i did so I -showed her how I can bark so then I wasn't scared to bark on the stage with 500 people and families watching. We did the show for them. That was the schools from Broome and Beagle Bay. All of the schools liked the show a bit. We had to shout loud so the whole hall could hear us sing and talk, except Toto had to bark as loud as she could. It was a very nice play but I always 'f elt very slack. We were nearly finjshed. We were up to the part where we got rid of the bad witch. That's when the skeleton had their dance. It was a nic~ dance. Then we were going back to the Emereld City. The wizard gave the scarecrow a piece of paper and an award. Tin Man got a paper watch (Miss Doris made the watch). Lion got a medal. Scarecrow was in charge of the Emereld City and everybody was happy . They were jumping up and down. Then the Wizard said "time to go". Dorothy forgot to say "Come on Toto" and that was the end of the Wizard of Oz. We all sang 'Some where Over the Rainbow' then we all went home. by Bernadette Lawford Last Thursday night we went to the Civic Centre feeling a little nervous. We were the poppies. We stayed on stage for a little while. We even sang. The poppies were red and black. There were lots of lights. I liked the lights because they were bright and had lots of different colours. We did a morning show to hundreds of children and · a night show to our children. by Stephen Howard. Last . Thursday I went to the Civic Centre, and watched the Wizard of Oz. I will tell you a bit of it. Well, Dorothy lived 1n Kansas and tne wicked witch came to Kansas and took poor Toto away and Dorothy came running after her and she got her Toto back and the house went flying and landed where the munchkins are and found best friends, she got the slippers. Sorry I can ' t tell you any more when you see me I will tell you. /.J. 't:::::J On . Thursday, 16th November at the Civic Centre there was a play. St Mary's was playing the Wizard of Oz. People were proud of their children. I was one of the poppies. It was fun. The poppies colour was mostly black and red. My parents were watching me play. I was tired. I got stuck in the curtain People were laughing at me because I got stuck in the curtain. I was the best poppy. , from Shino Shicji On Thursday at the Civic Centre, St Mary's School did an act. It is called the Wizard of Oz. I was a tree and I had to stand behind the curtains. We had to wait there from the start until it was my turn to go on stage. We had to walk on ~tage and go to our place. Our hands got tired after a while from holding up the cardboard branches. I didn't like the bit when the crows came o.n stage because I had to move backward a little. It was fun being a tree. by Jamie Hamaguchi t7 �Wizard of Oz continued On Thursday night at the hall we did a play. It was good. We did a play about Wizard of Oz and I was a poppy and the poppy was black and red and I was tired and after that I went home. by Christopher Bin Swami. On Thursday 16th November there was a show of the Wizard of Oz. I was in the show and I was a poppy in the show. While we waited for our turn to go on stage we went around the back to watch cartoon movies. It was hard work to make the costumes. The poppies were black and red and the trees were green and brown. We poppies had to sing songs. The End. By Pacita Puertalhano On Thursday at 7. 30 all the kids from Broome went to the Civic Centre and watched the Wizard of Oz. Everybody was happy and proud to see it. What part did you like? Well, I liked the part when Toto couldn't bark and the part when one of the poppies got stuck in the curtains. by Patti Mamid I was a .make up tree in our show called the Wizard of Oz. It was fantastic. It was a good show. All the people enjoy the Wizard of Oz. The one who made it all was Miss Anne. The End. written by Micklo Turner. On Thursday St Mary's had a wonderful time at the Civic Centre because we were all in a wonderful play. The play was called the Wizard of Oz. We had practised for six months. I was so anxious to start the play. We had made our own costumes . The best part I liked was when Toto was shame to bark. Miss Anne said to her "Just think about your family" - she meant "They' il be proud of you". I was a poppy. It was fun being a poppy. My legs were the stem and my body was the poppy. After the play Melody Dia made a speech. She said "On behalf of St Mary's we give you this present to you Miss Anne". When Miss Anne came out everyone was shouting "speech . ~peech" so Miss Anne said a little speech. Then- all of the children went to their parents. by Serena Cox Last week I was a tree in the Wizard of Oz. We made the costumes with card board and paint.

I had been living in TOWN for some time. • While waiting for the Wet I was watching a video called "The Emerald Forest" and just at that part in the video when the eagle calls I heard a similar call outside. Longing to see the eagle I walked through town and ran into someone. He was a bit silly, you know, but he doesn't miss a billy. Anyhow, we sat at a roudabout and he told me all kinds of things about eagles, dunes, trees and beaches. The next thing I knew I saw people running so I climbed high up · on a wall and saw this mob jumping off the cliff. Silly fools, I thought, falling to a certain death. That is not for me. "Three people in a basket got my attention and next to them a TREE PERSON. Well we already knew about him! He was one of those people who wanted to survive all the predictions and thought that if he could change change himself into a tree (in town mind you) he would be alright. Anyhow, the next thing TREE PERSON noticed was all those leaves falling around him, but when he tried to get away he realised he could not move. CONTINUED OVER ..... . �.

A voice says "I'm your twin spirit" . And then, "Love me , like you love yourself ·and we go". Who is this total stranger right inside my head no, sitting -right behind me.

Shire Shakedown BY ALISON SPENCEK. · Between October's Ordinary Meeting of the 17th and the November Meeting on 21st, there were no less than six Special Meetings. . The first two took place before and after the October Meeting, and Councillors discussed the "Cable BeachRiddell ~oint Development Concept Plan"; firstly between themselves, then at the second Special, with Mr P. Driscoll from the Department of Planning and Urban Development (DPUD). The Study's objectives had been a. .to undertake a detailed examination of the physical environment; b, to seek public comment and identify issues of community concern; c. to recommend areas for coastal and other reserves, and a coastal park; d. identify and plan recreational and tourist development nodes and/or attractions; e. propose a suitable management structure ,,, cl for coastal reserves within the study area; and f. propose development and management policies to be included in the Council's Town Planning Scheme. Councillors had all received copies of the plan prior to the Meeting and voted in favour of a resolution that: "The Coastal Park be nothing greater than a "C" Class Reserve". Other items discussed at the first Meeting included 1. The ambiguity of the figure of an 11.5% population growth rate, based on the figures between 1981 and 1986, as an annual rate would be more accurate. 2. The estimation of 13,300 locals by 2001 was considered low. 3. The size of the park (500 hectares) ·" .... is very large in light of the request from 'Homeswest' to reduce the size of housing lots to 500m 2 , and also the possible future population �growth." 4. Concern was expressed over the proposed name, 'Goolarabaloo Coastal Park'. Who decided the name, and would the Park be open to all people? 5. When Council agreed to the Lurujarri Heritage Trai 1 there were seven sites agreed to and the Shire was not in favour of the 70km "Exclusion Zone". The Trail was to be registered and open to the public, as is the Broome Historical Heritage Trail. 6. Annual production of the cultured pearling industry was considered higher than the estimated $15 million. 7. The Report had taken so long to prepare and release that some of the points had either been attended to or were being carried out. 8. It was queried how important the gubinge tree is to the Aboriginal diet in 1989. Councillor Shadforth " .... did not feel the importance of it as a source of diet was there today . " The Council " . .. does not oppose the recognition of the thickets, but the extent of land has grown extensive- the President feels Council has the right to understand it." SPECIAL MEETING 2 Mr, P, Dri.s col l from DPUD told the Shire that the Plan had not yet been adopted by the Minister, " . .. ... as they would like to obtain as much agreement as possible, and there had been some concerns expressed by the Department of Aboriginal Sites (DAS), the Agricultural Depertment (Ag.D), and the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) ' . ~ Mr Driscoll outlined the Plan (see above) and told Council it was intended to be treated as "a resource base for future decision making and that is why they have included a l'ot . of information condensed from other reports." The study of the coastal processes identified the lack of a replenishing source of white sand going onto Cable beach. The sand is coming from the dunes. ,pindan I is only 1 metre below the surface in some places. They concluded that Cable Beach will continue to erode slowly, while Rtddell Beach retreats every year. Mr Driscoll said, "The DPUD feel that the area has a much wider interest to a greater group of people than just Aboriginals and therefore it has tried to accommodate the · various interests in the Report . The Report and Plan, once accepted, will need to be accepted by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs. The DPUD has not accommodated all the wishes of the DAS " The Plan includes the southern tip of Riddell Point in the Coastal Park. The Fisheries Dept. has proposed a research station to do aquaculture, etc. A cycleway has been shown with dual usage, and where possible they have used old roads. President Male told Mr Driscoll that Council was keen to extend the present reserve area of Cable Beach to include the grassed area and proposed car park on the east side of the dunes. Council wants " .. . to site the Surf Life Saving Clubhouse overlooking the beach, with a storage shed in the area . behind." Plans for · the long term development of the area were tabled and discussed, and Mr. Driscoll agre·e d to support the Shire's request to have the extended area at Cable Beach vested in the Council. He also said that an "A" l.Y ." . . 9. It has been suggested that Hidden Valley be closed off as it is an impbrtant source for Aboriginal food. Councillor Gower disagreed with this and · stated that ·he would " .... go along with any development as he feels it would help stabilise the dunes." At the November Ordinary Meeting Cr . Gower asked that it be recorded that while people are no longer dependent upon the area for food they still use it . Also he wished that the wording be changed to read • that he sup_po~ted "development" rather than "any development". Councillor Gower was concerned that the height restriction currently on this area may . not be the same in the future. It was pointed out th~t these matters were up to the Council of the day. 10. Council was concerned that a monopoly situation may occur should there be restrictions on the tourist · nodes. 11. Councillors generally agreed that they preferred the Life Saving Clubhouse to be "overlooking the beach" rather than at ground level. · 12. · "There seems to be a great · deal of disagreement between the Aboriginal people as to who is actually responsible for the area. Council does not fully understand the situation, however 1.3 �PEARL COAST TELEVISION Production Services Film Television and Video Production BROOME BROOME SEAFOODS • Commercial Production • Documentary • Promotional • Instructional • Betacam SP • 16mm • Remote Location Services Contact PETER STRAIN Tel (091) 93 5068 P.O .

He was told of Council's resolution at the earlier Meeting to leave the area as a ~•c 11 (or recreational) Reserve 's information sources as the contents may not · always "be the perceptions of the DPUD". A letter was duly sent to the DPUD on 26th Oct. The third Special Meeting also discussed 2 Special Finance and Staff Cammi ttee Meetings from 17th and 18th Oct. They adopted a resqlution from each of them without specifying in the minutes what they were. They resolved to write to the Broome Basketball Association ~sking approval for the Netball Association to take over the old basketball courts and the outstanding loan on the courts. Mr Driscoll advised " ... that Hidden Valley had not been protected for sacred sites, they have protected it for the long-term needs of Broome." Council asked that before the Plan is released to the public it be clarified, so that paragraphs and statements from sources other than the DPUD are easily identified. Mr Driscoll said he would await advice of Council's resolutions regarding their requested changes and advise the Minister. It will not be released until the Kimberley Study. There is then a 3 month period · for public comment. If it is adopted, the Plan will come back to Council. SPECIAL MEETING 3 On Monday afternoon; 23rd October, another Special Meeting was held. The Council accepted several resolutions reflecting their previous dis~ cussion on the Cable Beach/Riddell Beach Development Concept Plan. They agreed to the Hidden Valley Development area being extended southwards. They proposed the the name of the Park be changed to "Pearl Coast Park," as this would "identify with the Shire logo". Another resolution was that Reserve 36477 at Cable Beach, currently vested in the Shire for "Recreation" be maintained and extended to incorporate the zoned car park area and helicoptor pad. They agreed that the Surf Clu.'>house be erected on the surrendered Lot 658, the site of the · old Male Beach cottage. Also they resolved that should the National Park and Nature Conservation Authority relinquish their vesting for any reason then the · "Pearl Coast Park" be vested in the Shire. The Council decided" .... that extracts of the Management Report on the Luruj arri Trail will not be commented on, until Council has a report from an anthropologist, to be engaged. ·., Finally it was formally resolved to request a clarrification_ of the Report- SPECIAL MEETING • 4 On Wednesday the 25th October, the Shire met with Mr Paul Frater of 'Paul's Nursery' and the Shire's Parks and Gardens Foreman, Mr Brian Wall, to discuss the Palm Leef Beetle. Mr Frater told Council that an eradication programme will be required for the whole area "because the effects of the beetle will be devestating if allowed to go unchecked" . The. coconut palm is the usual host, tho' Royal palms and others have been affected in Darwin. Only new leaves are attacked and all stages of the insect's life cycle occur within and between the folded leaflets before they open. Once this occurs the beetle moves to another frond. The new, central fronds develop a brown dying appearance and sustained attacks will kill the plant. The Palm Beetle Eradication Group which has been formed in Broome includes representatives from local. nurseries, Lee Cooper from the Wildlife Park, Brian Wall and the Agricultural Protection Board. The members will inspect plants thought to be infected, but wanted an official programme of eradication to begin before the problem becomes even greater. At the meeting Council resolved to ask Mr Bridge to have the APB carry out a complete eradication programme of the beetle in Broome. (See BN Vol 11/10, p .1 9.) SPECIAL MEETING 5 This Special Meeting with Ernie Bridge followed the one on the palm leaf beetle, on 25th Oct. The Shire wished to discuss the claims made by the WA Museum for the Lurujarri Trail.

'· with the 7 identified sacred sites, and conservation of the coastal strip, however Council is concerned about th~ large protected strip and"Exclusio~ -Zone~" Mr, Bridge asked if Council had had discussions with the group, and Cr. Johnston told him the Shire would be meeting with the Lurujarri Aboriginal Council that day, and had spoken with representatives of the Yawuru Group on the previous day. The · Meeting discussed the various claims for responsibility for the area. Mr. Bridge was told Council had supported the Trail when it was first established, and permission had been given to signposting the areas, subject to their removal of the . Exclusion Zone. Councillor Johnston advised that the Shire wanted . " ...... to establish who are the . spokespersons of the Yawuru people, and to assist Council in this, it was resolved to employ an independent anthropologist for guidance and if there are genuine sites, Council believes they should be protected. "A conservation park will be established. However Council does not agree tq the li:xclusion Zone. and Cable Beach and Riddel 1 Beach being preserved as a protected area under the provsions of the Aboriginal heritage Act 1972/80. The conflicting nature of various reports was discussed. Mr Bridge said it was a good idea for the Council · to approach and talk with the various gioups. He asked who had requested the original report ".· .. as it is very important to know who one is dealing with and who is claiming this Zone." SPECIAL MEETING 6 On 9th November there was another Special Meeting. The President advised the Council that the Shire Clerk had contacted their Town Planning Consultants to ask for the names of independent anthropologis·ts. Mr Eddie McDonald and Mr Rory O'Connor were both suggested. The anthropologist would be employed in the short term on the Heritage Trail and in the longer term to assist Taylor and Burrell should they have any questions · while planning Town Planning Scheme No.4. Mr O'Connor has worked for the Shire before on the Manari Road site 'Inballal' . The Councillors agreed to cont9 ct his firm first, . and in the Finance and Staff Committee's Report his accep- tance of the Shire's offer wasrecorded Councillor Gower asked at the November I Ordinary Meeting, that his approval for the engaging of the anthropologist be formally withdrawn . Sgt. B. Clark attended the Meeting to discuss the P.C.Y.C . s proposed plans for an indoor centre. The Shire agreed to support the P. C. Y. C. app l i cation in writing. It would have wide reaching community benefits that Local ·Government would be unable to supply for some time . Council also discussed a letter from the Department · of Land Administration (DOLA) regarding the Roebuck Bay Caravan Park - Reserve 17132 Lease. Power to lease can o~ly be given to the Shire for that portion of the Reserve which is being used as the Caravan Park. The Reserve also includes the Apex Park, Town Beach boat ramp and the area to the north of this. Council considered the locating of a retail outlet and resolved that the Works and Development Committee select a suitable pad · site in conjunction with the Building Surveyor, with a view to include it in the 1990/91 budget. The DOLA wrote on 10/11 regarding the Reserve 17132. They said approval would be granted to amend the vesti ng order over the portion of Reserve 17132 used as a caravan park, to provide power to lease it for 21 years. The rest of the Reserve would be reidentified as a Reserve for "Public Recreation". The DOLA Regional Manager will arrange a joint on-site inspection to deliniate the boundary and define the two ·areas at an "appropriate distance from the high water mark . " The President asked if Council had received an answer from Jllian Grill regarding his offer to make someone available to assist Council with Street Scape advice. The President suggested that Mr Grill be contacted to ascertain if he will . contribute towards the cost of employing a "Street Scaper" for advice. Councillor Gower mentionad that he had been approached by a local person who has experience in this field . Councillor Butler raised the subject of Councillor Gower's recent - talkback session with the ABC radio, regarding criticism of businesses involved in the tourist industry, as he had received telephone complaints from the business community over Cr.

SHIR~ CLERK'S REPORT · On 30th November; Mr and Mrs Thorley requested a Meeting with the Shire regarding the rezoning of their property at Lot 2010 Clementson Street. Thay wanted the Shire to reconsider their proposal for an additional use a liquor outlet. President Male and Cr. Johnston have declared interests so the Shire Clerk was keen to have a commitment from at least five Councillors so · that a quorum of Shire members can be reached. The Clerk was to work towards arranging this. The company 'Resort Solutions' wrote to the Shire on 13th November regarding•. their development of an international hotel. They wanted to have three levels rising above the edge . of the ridge of the sand, with another 3 down the face of the hill. Their letter concluded: " ... In view of the Council's maximum 2 storey height requirements under the current zoning, we need to urgently discuss this new position." The Shire Clerk told the Meeting that the Company would be happy to agree to the 2 storey limit, if it is able to obtain adjoining land to the south of their block. This would give them space for the 220 room hotel which they consider to be ·the minimum necessary for their development. It was recommended that the Council support the company's submission to the flOLA for the land adjoining their southern boundary so that the development could proceed. Council discussed this in camera after the main Ordinary Meeting. ENGINEERING REPORT Construction: The Broome/Cape Leveque roadworks to improve the formation and drainage over the 170-182 km.south' have been finished. Work on the One Arm Point road to improve isolated ·• pavement sections of roadway were done in conjunction with the Cape Leveque roadworks. "Limited funding prevented thorough rehabilitation to be achieved through difficult terrain." Cable Beach Residential Subdivision Stage 4C ~ works on roads and drainage have been "satisfactorily completed". A contract , for ~he installation and . construction of the main . piped stormwater drainage system for Cable Beach has been awarded to G, & B. Drainage Pty Ltd. "Works are progressing satisfactorily." Parks and Gardens: Frederick Street High School Oval is being fenced. Grass Growers Pty, Ltd. have been engaged to hydromulch the banks of the oval. The Engineer also included a comprehensive list of projects that are expected to be completed by 30th June, 1990 . The Shire agreed that the Engineer and the Assistant Shire Clerk present a "funding option portfolio", for the provision of an assistant engineer, to the Dec. 1989 F-inance and Staff committee. The schedule of Plant hire rates recommended by the Engineer, to be valid from 1st January 1990 were accepted by the Shire. BUILDING SURVEYOY'S REPORT For the period ending 16/11, thirty building applications were approved, totalling $2.5 million. Around Broome, minor alterations have been completed at the museum " to improve both the amenity and security of the building". At the Civic Centre, stainless steel benches have been installed in the female toilets and kitchen, and new tiling is in the kitchen. A new refrigerator is being ordered. HEALTH SURVEYOR'S REPORT The Inspector included a list of fees associated with the transport and care of impounded animals which will be available from the Shire . THE LIBRARIAN'S REPORT Mr Jordanoff mentioned the new art gallery and the need for . constant tliason between himself and the architect " .. to ensure the final plan represents a functional and workable result . " FINANCE AND STAFF COMMITTEE The Lurujarri Trail The Minister for Aborig i nal Affairs, Dr Carmen Lawrence wrote to the Shire on 3rd November regarding the management report for the Lurujarri Trail.

Don Webb from Christian Brothers wrote on the Management Plan for the Heritage Trail saying that he supported the concept of the Management Zone of 2km protecting the Trail. Jarndu Yawuru Women's Group wrote to Council on 30/10 regarding the Trail. The Minutes recorded their letter as "copy attached". Mamabulanjin Aboriginal Corp. wrote on 2/11 regarding Mr Paddy Roe's custodian status. Their committee was concerned by the Shire's letter to the WA Museum which disagrees with his custodian status. They " .. . . ac knowledge Paddy Roe as one , of the most important custodians for this area. " They ·· were concerned ·that the Council's actions have caused disharmony in the Aboriginal community and asked , that they consult the appropriate Aboriginal elders before making ciaims such as those in the Shire's letter of 5t~MaY. , Council wrote to Mr, Roe on 27th Oct . regarding their May letter to the Museum. They said : "The meeting with cne e.taers ot · the Yawuru tribe, who .we understood were the traditional owners of the Broome area, was to try to . ascertain locations of genuine Aboriginal sites in and around the immediate Broome area.'' There was no wish to undermine Mr Roe Is status and the Council apologised for any distress. The WA Museum sent a letter to the Shire on 20/10 regarding the 'Exclusion Zone' with the Trail. It refers to a coastal strip between Minari and Entrance Point, and up to 2km inland. The letter stated: "This is an area rich in Aboriginal sites of extreme significance. It · is the preference of the principle custodian, and this Department that this area remain .updeveloped in order to maintain the in tegrity of these sites. However there are areas within the Exclusion Zone where some development will be possible. The concept of the 'Exclusion Zone' was developed to ensure that all developers apply under Section 18 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act, to the Minister of Aborigina1 Affalrs, se~king permission to use the ' land." . Council's Legal Advisors sent a letter regarding. the Museum' s Report on the Trail which was not reprod~c~d in . the minutes. . THE NEW AIRPORT: Council received a copy of "Australian City ,Properties Pty Ltd." letter to "West Kimberley Aircraft", of 25/10. It said i n part : "The possible handover of the aiTport is still under negotiation with the State and Federal Governments, and i. t ,! is l ikel v to be sometime .before these arrangements are concluded. Whilst we are happy to discuss the matter with you at any time, it may be preferable to defer any discussion until negotiations have been concluded and a firm handover date has been agreed" . It is an interesting show of confidence where a discussion of a "possibility" has an anticipated "firm handover date", as an outcome . An exchange of letters between Richard S Haynes & Co, Barristers & Solicitors the Council's legal advisors , and the Shire were recorded on the subject of the Broome Airport without contain ing any meaningful details in the minutes. ...i· 'Homeswest' also wrote to the Shire regard•ing the current airport site. They said; "It is noted that the exist ing airport land will be transfer red to the Joint Ventur ers when the new airport is completed . . "Homeswest" is interested in the eventual aqu i sition of a portinn of this site and therefore seeks 1 iason with the Joint Venturers . " They asked Shire for the names and addresses of those involved . The Minister for Local Government and Lands Kay Hallahan, was sent a letter regarding the airpor t on 18/10, i.ts contents wer e not included in \the minutes . Council followed it with a copy of their "self explantory letter to the Department of Transport and Communications , " the next day. They also promised the Minister a copy of the Commonwealth's valuation of the site. She replied on 1/11 with the comment that "the matter is being examined." THE SIZE OF HOUSING LOTS : Counci l wrote to the Maddestra Rowe Partnership about the proposed compact lots for the "Homeswest" Woods Drive Estate . Council rejected the introduction of compact single houses on Lots of 550m 2 to 600m 2 • They said tha t the ' community was concerned at the 700m 2 minimum for single residential Lots and any further reduction would be against the wishes of the majori ty of local residents . 31 �STOP THIS MAN ABORIGINAL ARTS & CRAFT GALLERY A FULLY ABORIGINAL CONTROLLED ENTERPRISE WHOLESALE & RETAIL SUPPLIERS OF Authentic Aboriginal art from throughout the Kimberley Black music Aboriginal-designed T-shirts FOR ALL YOUR * GARDENING NEEDS * LANDSCAPING / RETICULATION RUBB ISH REMOVAL / TREE LOPPING * Lawns mowed .

The Clemenston St. route is already . approve·d for roa:d trains. Council agreed to support the MRD' s proposal to close the Guy Street/Hunter Street route, to re-evaluate it when Guy Street is reconstructed, and to remove the kerbing at the Junction of Guy and Hunter Streets. CAR PARK AT . CABLE BEACH: Council received a letter from "Oldham Boas El;inie Brown" regarding the construction of a public car park on Cable Beach Road on Cable Beach. While the Chair.man of "Cable Beach Club", Mr John Adams, has offered to supply some landscaping.. for the area, they " .... had no intention of paying for'the carpark which is not being ., installed at their request, and is not solely for the use of the Club." AMALGAMATIONS & SUBDIVISIONS: The Committee Minutes contained proposals from the DPUD for the amalgamation of 2 Broome Lots and 5 subdivisions which were approved. One proposal to which they objected was that involving Lots 2496 and 2497 Goldie Court. Lot 2496 is a duplex block of 1029m 2 and 2496 is a single residential Lot of 73lm 2 • The proposed c;iIDa.lgaroa.t.io.n .a nd_ s\JJ)sequ~nt .. subdivision will create 2 duplex lots, which was not the intention ·of the DLA when the subdivision was released. Council objected to the proposal " ... because an unreasonable precedent will be set." TOURISM AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE HELICOPTER SERVICES: Council wrote to Broome ]Helicopter Services" .saying that the area of its proposed increase over Reserve 36479 was approved to accommodate a hel ipad for their operation. Stae Government Departments, the DOLA, the DPUD and the EPA are considering the plan, and Council reassured the company, that discussion of the proposal with a senior DPUD · officer " ... indicates it · will gain approval!' VEHICLES ON THE BEACH: Mr. Alistair Cuthbert wrote to Councillor Johnston enclosing photos of vehicies on the beach, which he felt illustrated ".that the shore is by no means used by fish- ermen on their way to a favourite spot. They show that the beach at Coconut Wells, where they.were recently taken, is hardly the place for a quiet family afternoon either." One photo showed the depth . of the ruts which can lead to subsequent erosion. Council resolved to advise Mr Cuthbert that the draft Cable Beach/Riddell Point Development Concept Plan, " .. does not foreshadow the banning of vehicles from the Coconut Wells beach, but an addi tiona.i section of the northern part of Cable Beach and it is not Council's intention to prohibit vehicles at Coconut Wells.'' CORRESPONDENCE SAFETY AT THE ONE MILE: The Aboriginal Affairs Planning Authority, wrote to Council regarding road safety at the Nillir Irbanjin Community (One Mile). The MRD had indicated at a meeting earlier this year that it -p roposed changes such as 1 ighting and the colour of the road's surface to improve safety. Another possibility . was the construction of a raised footpath between One Mile and Chinatown including a fence to separate th~ road and path. The AAPA asked for the Shire's comments and Council agreed to refer the matter back to the MRD. COUNCIL HOUSING: Council . agreed to the F. & S. Committee recommendation that they approa~h the DOLA for a block of land in Residential Subdi vision 4C, at the upset price, before auction. This would be used for future Council staff housing. WORKS AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE CYCLEWAYS: "Bikewest" .wrote at the beginning of November inviting the Shire to apply for assistance from the State Government in financing cycle-related projects proposed for 1990/91, financial year. The Minister for Local Government will decide who receives fiunds, which will take the form of matching grants, with Councils being required to fund at least 50% of the project cost. The closing date for applications is 29/12 • LIONS CLUB: The Lions Club of Broome is considering the possibility of renovating the old gaoL in Carnarvon Street as a community service project, and asked to know Council's plans for the building.

Minister for the North West, Mr Ernie Bridge, wrote to the Shire regarding the condition of the Broome/Cape Leveque Road. He is keen to see " ..... more productive maintenance and up-grade options" for this road. He considered it would be best for the Shire and the Main Roads Dept . (MRD) to begin early discussions on a co-ordinated plan of staged development for the road. The Minister encouraged the Shire to apply to the MRD for further "Special Grant" allocations, saying he would personally support it. He also suggested the Shire investigate the possibility of local Aboriginal communities undertaking road works. Council responded to the Minister 4 days later on 30/10. The minutes recorded their letter as "copy attached." COUNCILLOR SHEPHERD'S RESIGNATION Councillor Shepherd wrote to the Shire to tender his formal resignation as Councillor on 27th October. This was accepted with regret at the Ordinary Meeting. The Shire Clerk has said that no date can be set for another election until the case at the Court of Disputed Returns is decided. LETTERS FROM CALM: The Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) wrote on 15th· Nov. regarding their final commitment to the "Mangrove Walk Trail". It commented in part that their gift of $1300 nnd other capital i terns " .... should be balanced by the $500 contribution for transport, as promised by Broome Shire." Another letter from CALM concerned their policy for the management of esturine crocodiles. The Shire had previously mentioned that protection for licensed professional fishermen had not been addressed, in areas proposed as marine national parks. They asked the Shire to forward a map identifying Hidden Creek. MEETING WITH THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION: The Leader of the Opposition, Mr Barry J MacKinnon wrote to the Shire President on 6/11 acknowledgipg their meeting at Broome Airport, during Mr ·MacKinnon's visit to Broome. He met later with the Deputy Shire Pres- ident and some Councillors to discuss the airport and the Aboriginal sites issue. He said they were pursuing the airport with the federal authorities and wi 11 inform the Shire when there's anything to report. They are approaching the appropriate agencies in Perth in an effort to resolve the Aboriginal sites issue, and would contact the Shire when he had · "a much clearer idea of the position." HERITAGE WEEK 1990: The National Trust of Australia's WA branch wrote regarding Heritage Week -of 1990 Sunday 22/4 to Saturday 28/4. They asked Council to return an "Activities Sheet" and return it before 28/2 next year. They also asked for a donation to offset the cost of publicising the events which Broome might ~stage. RECREATION FORESHORE.39556: The WA Museum wrote on 9/11 regarding the Reserve 39556, which extends along the Roebuck Bay foreshore between Napier Terrace and Anne Street : They said " .... the above area has now been examined by our Aboriginal Heritage Officer from Derby in the company of . local custodians. According to information available the area you seek to develop is clear of Aboriginal sites. However, it has been bought to our attention that there are some "bloodwood" trees at the base of a sand dune to ,the east of Lot 1795 \ - along the foreshore below Haas Street which are considered to be of significance to local Aboriginal people. lt appears that any interference with these trees may constitute a breach of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 - 80, and advise you to let people involved in your development to be aware of this. We will be advising the people developing Lot 1795 of the same. Frail Aged Centre: Shire · wrote to the Broome Aged Service Cammi ttee on 27/10 regarding the proposed frail~ aged hostel/ day care c;:entre. They. prefer the site on Saville Street and reassured the Committee · that it was planned to provide an adequately large area and referred them to a photo-copied letter, from. the Department of Community Services and Health to the DOLA.

Friday the 4th September \NBS. an Historic day for the Mal I I ngbar Commun I ty. On th Is day Ernie Bridge, the Minister for Aborlglnal Affairs ·, gave the community the lease to the Kennedy HI I I Reserve. This sand hi 11 area has been used for thousands of years as a camping ground by tribal groups - namely Jukan, Yawuru, Ngumbal, who lived In the area where Broome is now situated. Since Dampier arrived and established the port of Broome, Aboriginal . people have been continuously using this area as a camping ground. It was for this reason that the then Department of Native Welfare established the permanent reserve in 1957. As Aboriginal people continued to camp In their humpies, shacks and tents, the Department, In an attempt to Improve !lying conditions built some more or less permanent dwellings In the early 1960's. Obviously, when the land was establ ished as a Native Reserve It was considered to be a suitable area, out of sight of the main commercial area of Broome. However, some 20 years Iater, when engineer Ing ski 11 s permitted development In natural ly unsuitable areas, the reserve land suddenly became a highly desirable proposition for commercial development. It Is therefore not , surprising that the developers moved In and tried to relocate the Aboriginal people then res Ident at Kennedy H111. • Due to the threat of losing Kennedy Hill Reserve to tourist development proposals by Wedge Industries in 1982, the residents decided to form an Incorporated body to represent their interests. It was largely due to the strong stand taken by two old ladies (names with - held for cultural reasons) that resistance to commercial development at Kennedy Hill gathered momentum. The story goes that the old ladles would have cha,lned themselves to a tree if they were moved. They were determined to remain at Kennedy Hill and as one of them said, "they will have to bring In the cranes to pull us out." ' These old ladles, with their fierce determination, inspired the whole Aboriginal Community Into action. The Mall lngbar Community was finally Incorporated on 26th Aprl I 1983. As the Community believed that the threat of relocation would remain as long as sub-standard I lvlng conditions existed on the reserve, It proceeded, under the strong leadership of Roy Wiggan, to apply for funding for a new housing programme. Now, .In 1987, the Community have new houses and their own Community Office and meeting hall. All largely achieved because of the Community's determination and Its Insistence to develop Itself and become self determining. So It is not surprising that the ·residents of Kennedy Hill saw the 4th September as the culmination of a long, hard struggle. There wi II be many more challenges for the residents but they wi 11 be able to face them with confidence of a people who have fought for J and obtainedJ security of tenure. �/ From the bygone days of pearl she I I fishing for hatura l pearl s, Mother of Pearl shel I buttons and adornments. to the modernised pearl culture industry, Broome today has evolved from a history of pearl ing. Ethnic groups making up the orig inal pearling crews, physical Isolation, and an exotic natura: resource have contributed to Broome's unique character. Throughout its boom and bust history, the pearling industry has learned marw hard le~sons. Cyclones, the bends, she I I disease and exploitation, for example, have had to be contended with; Yet, this accumulated experience has led to the expansion of pearli ng into a valuable Australian export Industry Perhaps today, the industry faces its most , seri ous threat - the Irreversible damage to pearl shell grounds by prawn trawl Ing. This may -be the crossroads for Broome ' s 100 year old pearling heritage, and as such, this matter should be of concern to the peop le of Broome. . / BROOME'S PEARLING INDUSTRY UNDER THREAT Mos t Broorne res I dents \NI I I be a\Nare that the · pr:-avvn travv I ens have· d I sc:overed Broom e .

The disc6very of apparently sustainable . prawning areas between Broome and the Lacepede Islands to most would Indicate yet another development to add to the coffers of the Kimberley. The recurring question Is _development ~t what price? The pear l producers of Broome contend that they will pay the ultimate price, with irreversib le damage to their natural shell grounds by trawling operations. The tourist i_ndustry of Broome also expressed concern with the appearance of discarded nets and other fl otsam along Broome's primary tourist attraction, Cable ,Beach. a TRAWLING AREAS CLOSED PENDING SURVEYS , Both State and Federal Governments have recognized the potential conflict between pearl Ing and prawning over common grounds, and have announced that areas being trawled wi 11 be closed pending a thorough survey. The survey wi II be undertaken \:>Y the Fisheries Research vesse l , M. 1 V. Flinders, •to evaluate a potential prawn fishery while protecti ng an established· pearling industry. M. V. Fl lnders arrived In Broome on 21st September and commenced the survey • ·on 22nd september. The survey will ~ont lnue to the 10th of October. The Llcenced Pear l Producers Association, composed of all eleven companies producing pearls in WA and the Northern Territory, has addressed the possibi l ity of allow ing limited .access to prawn trawlers in areas that are not currently being worked by the industry. An area expand ing from South of Wi II ie Creek to Carnot Bay has been suggested by th~ Government authorities, as being the area under consideration. · It is of paramount concern t6 the pearling Industry, that the prawn trawl Ing In this region wl 11 seriously damage deep water shell stocks, juvenile shel I settlement. and areas for future expansion of the industry. Prawn trawl Ing Is. Indeed the 'Grim Reaper' of the fish ing industry. It Is anti-conservation, and has been the cr itical factor In the destruction of the Northern Australian pearling industry (Thursday Island, Gulf of Carpentaria, East Coast Queensland). Its very existence functi on of a fi shing method which Is not selectis ive in what it catches, and by_sheer brute force, smashes and destroys virtually al I that lays In its path. This 'slash and burn ' type fishing method eventually removes al I growths from the sea floor, and leaves a mud or sand void, suitable for prawn habitatlOl"f only. First hand experience of .this is provided by Mr Bl II Reed. a well known Broome pearling Identity, marine biologist and recogni zed world authority on pearl Ing. " In 1980, whilst in the employ of Broome Pearls Pty Ltd I · made a bri ef survey of the Exmouth Gulf area. In ear l ier ti mes thi s was a fairly rich pearl shel I ground. (I t is reported that In a cyclone In 1885 some 85 divers lost the ir I ives in this area). I quest ioned several · well-known old pearl divers; namely Cecil Peace, Bil l Clark from Onslow, and Burma Dunster from Po int Sampson. They marked areas on marine charts from which they had fished pearl shel I . • .3 �' A survey of the areas showed that the sea bed had completely changed;ln place of coral reef, there is now a completely clean and flat sandy bottom. Using breathing apparatus I held on to the head-rope of prawn trawl nets as the areas were trawled. The trawl nets created a virtual cloud of col loldal sl It which remained In suspension for a 9onslderable time. Such sl It In suspension would be lethal to young post-larval stages of pearl oysters and Indeed to corals. According to a number of prawn trawler skippers, the coral reefs existed in earl ler times, but were eventually eroded I lttle by I lttle as trawlers worked the area, untl I the reefs have now completely disappeared from the deeper areas, to be replaced by a level si It substrata!' . For the reasons outlined, pearling and prawning are lncompat·lble Industries. The commo·n ground they compete for Is a particular marine environment, not reef, bu\ hard bottom, fished by pearl divers and · Inhabited by the King Prawn. LICENSED PEARL PRODUCERS OBJECTION TO PROPOSED PRAWN FISHING AREA The grounds between Cable Beach · and Carnot Bay, are of great importance to the pearl Ing Industry. In_ the past,thls area was fished extensively by pearling fleets and the existence of she I I Is wel I remembered by local and Japanese divers. The pearling Industry feels that these grounds are an Important parr· ot . the deep water breeding she I I (broodstock) areas, , which produce the Juvenl le she I I (spat) for re-stocking of the shallow water pearl Ing beds. There Is virtually no information on the movement, location and number of spat on pearl Ing grounds, and unti I extensive research Is undertaken, these areas must be protected. 0 The Pearl Ing Industry Review Committee Is closely evaluating resource and sustainable quota levels. Any interference to the pearl she I I habitat wl 11 erode current stock assessments. The Northern pearl Ing region Is sited as being an alternative fishing area to traditional pearl Ing beds on the 80 Ml le Beach. Some operators already depend on this area for shell supply. There Is concern that the long term effect of 'stirring up of the bottom' by prawn trawl Ing, wl 11 ki 11 young pearl $he I I and interfere with the natural cycle of del lcate marine life, such as soft · and hard corals, sponges and other fragile marine animals. When the hatchery programme presently In progress on the Broome wharf Is successfu I , the grounds north of Broome are viewed as being habitats most suitable for expansion of the pearling Industry. Because these two Industries are by nature, Incompatible, It would be wrong to forsake the long term future of one industry for the short term g_aln of another. The Licensed Pearl Producers Association has expressed 'concern over the ability of State and Federal Fisheries to pol Ice trawl Ing activities and to confine trawlers to a I lmlted area. .

THE BROOME PEARLING GROUNDS Much of the marine environment around Broome, Is virtually pristine. These areas are probably the last remaining pea'rl Ing grounds In the world, which have not been ' altered significantly by fishing Impact or pollution. The . qua I lty of pearl she I I I Iv Ing In this · area Is the best in the world, and the retention of this resource cannot be emphasised enough. Once these fragile marine environments are disturbed and Broome, like so many ·other areas, no longer produces pearl she I I, ttw pearl Ing Industry and Its heritage are doomed. This resource cannot be obtained for other areas. In contrast to this, the King Prawn species Is widespread through Austral la. The operators proposing to fishing the resource off Broome, are only doing so to fl 11 In time between fish arrangements In other prawn fisheries. They have no vested Interest In Broome or Its · future, · whereas the pearling Industry employs approximately .300 local; full and part-time employees, and Is a major ' contributor to the economy to the town. The pearl Ing Industry Is also a significant attraction for tourism In Broome. The Government Is committed to a strategy of responsible fisheries and fish habitat management. The Licensed Pearl Producers Association asl<s the people of Broome to support a total closure of prawn trawling between Port Hedland and Koolan 1sla'nd.

We al I know of the dangerous and deadly Coneshell, but not many of us know of the harmful animals included In the faml Iles of Sponges, , Cnidarians, Brlstleworms and Echinoderms. Many Sponges have glass spicules which can fragment In the skin and be hard to· remove. Some also produce toxic substances which can be very Irritable for weeks. These Sponges are harmless when washed up on the beach, as the I lvlng tissue which produces the toxins has been broken down. Cnidarians Include the Corals, Jellyfish and Sea Anemones. They are classified together because al I have stln,glng threads attached to capsules which, when triggered, force a venom-fl lied tube into their prey.. Few true Corals sting, but the soft and stony Corals can cause some pain for up to 10 days. The Portuguese Man· 0' War has a bouyant sac from which specialized feeding, reproductive and stinging tentacles hang. The sting is very powerful, can penetrate rubber gloves and has been known to paralyse and ki 11 people. Care must be taken when hand I Ing beachwashed Portuguese Man O' Wars as the rehydrated stingIng capsules are Just as potent. The Box · Jelly Fish, with square bodies · and tentacles coming off the corners, have bui It up a deadly reputation. The barely visible small ones found in temperate waters do not produce a very severe sting. However, a tropical species can have a body as big as a footbal I and up to 20 metres of tentacles. the sting of the species causes the heart t9 spasm and scars the skin horribly, whl le the pain before death is apparently unbearable. , Because death can result within minutes, the antivenom must be app I i ed qui ck Iy. Box . Je II yt I sh have been responsible for 70 fatal !ties · in the North ove.r the last 50 years . Some Sea Anemones also have painful stings which can scar the skin. The most effective way to treat. stings is with vinegar or cloudy ammonia appl led to the area. Bristleworms have hollow bristles containing venom. When these brush off onto the skin, swel I Ing and pain can often result. Echinoderms include Starfish, Sea Urchins, and Sea Cucumbers that can be dangerous. The Crown-of-Thorns Starfish is a venomous starfish with venom glands at the tip of each spine , which can be very painful. The Needle-spined Urchin has barbed · spines with venom which can cause pain but these are- not deadly. �THE WHITE HIBISCUS -13 Camarvon St. 922467 Ari.ri.o'-..1.nces t h e a.:r:ri'Va.l o f MARIA KRIST SWIMWEAR i' • - -40--<c~,4",ll,.."

Val Sweetman Proposed lnte'rnational Golf course ''we are not opposed to the principle of an International· 18 hole golf course In Broome. but we are opposed to I ts proposed I ocat I on." This message was firmly stated by Broome's residents at a meeting of the Land Usage Monitoring Project (LUMP) on the 29th August 1987. The proposed area runs along the coast~! area adjacent to Cable Beach from the car park to the bend In Cable Beach Road South. The · land Is currently zoned vacant crown land. The following reasons were given for their stance: (1) CONSERVATION. 1.1 The Broome Coastal Management Plan by Chalmers and Woods must be released and considered before a final decision Is made on land release of the proposed golf course area. . 1.2 Priority must be given to alternative proposals for that area such as the CALM proposal that the area be protected and the long standing Department of Land Administration proposal that the area be made a reserve. 1.3 The area under consideration · Is definitely el lgible for protection under the National Rainforest Conservation Programme. 1.4 The proposed golf course development must not . proceed without assessment from the Environmental Protection Authority, as this is a development which has a potential to cause an environmental Impact (section 38 Environmental Protection Act). (2) HERITAGE. The Cable Beach Hinterland which Includes the dune systems are an integral part of the unique beauty and attraction of Cable Beach, which Is hal led as one of the most beautiful beaches In the world. Cable Beach Is Broome's heritage for future generations. It would be Inappropriate that the 1988 £!centennial be celebrated by Its desecration. (3) TOURISM. fhe long term tourist potential of Cable Beach Is enhanced by avoiding Insensitive development. (4) THE PUBLIC INTEREST. Broome already has an 18 hole public golf_ course that rias .been in existence for about 20 years. It Is managed by the . Roebuck Bay Golf Club which Is an Incorporated body, non - profit, self funded and operated by a local committee for pub I le use and recreation. The club provides an inexpensive and unique golfing experience to both visitors and local residents. It enjoys popular patronage with local businesses. providing t~ophies and sponsorship. The Roebuck Bay Golf Club is an integral part of sporting recreation in the Kimberley with Its members assuming prominence in the Kimberley golfing championship each year. There is real concern that a lease agreement between Australian City Properties and the WA Development Commission on one hand , and the Broome Shire Councl I on the other, would Jeopardize the existing public golf course as it is in a prime location and the parks and recreation area south of it has already been rezoned , tor' tou'rlst accomodation. . The developers should clearly look at upgrading the existing publ le golf club for Lord McAlpine's · overseas tour'ists. Concern was expressed that the development would not be to the advantadge of Broome people as the developers would not be paying rates on a pub I ic golf course lease. (5) WATER. A water survey must be completed prior to any final decision being reached on the proposal, outlining the · water requirements of the development; the source of the water (town/artesian/superficial aqulver); water availability and I ikely effect on other water users. (6) ABORIGINAL INTERESTS The fol lowing areas must be investigated before a final decision on land usage in the. area: 6.1 Its Importance In terms of Aboriginal tradition and lifestyle. 6.2 The significance of the gabinge (native fruit) stands threatened by the proposed development, on Aboriginal health and nutrition. Development Problem ' ' ' The p_revlous Llberal Govern- , ment s ph I I osophy of 'deve I..!. op or be doomed' • has been embraced who I ehearted I y by the WA Labour Government with an extension of state powers through the WA Tour1sm Commission and the WA Development Commission, to achieve It. The interests of our wealthier developers are wel I protected by the State Government. The Tourism Commission not only .oversees "more efficient and effective investment in tourism within the state" (WA Tourism . Commission Annual Report 1985/~6), but can initiate· tourism developments, either independently or in partnership. It Is felt that where 'red tape' or community conflict is I lkely to arise, the WADC steps in to facil ltate development, eg, they are in partnership with Australian City Properties (McAlpine) in the proposed International standard 18 hole golf course adjacent to Cable Beach.

Tourism may contribute to the local economy but It is a one sided Industry. in .. Broome, tourism. competes . for the m.c:ist . scenic coastal locations, alienating the . coastlin~ and restricting access of local people to the seas for 'traditional fishing and food gathering; Its rapacious appetite for such locations has threatened our 'heritage' areas, our unique environment (eg. the rain forest. vine thickets adjacent to Cable Beach), and has led to the rezoning o.f coastal P,arks and recreation areas by our Shire, that , are now_· lost to the people of Broome·. , Furthermore, · the tourism industry is one · sided because , the type of employment it generates is restrictive and of I lmtted appeal to local Job seekers. To make tqurlsm the dominant land and resourc~s (water) user, on the basis that it Is a panacea for local ·unemployment Is contrary to the very nature of, tourism an9 erroneous. ·1 quote from an article in The Bulletin, March 17 1987: 'The city (Calms) has continuing high unemployment whl le al I ttie major hotels are crying out for trained staff ...... the fact of · the matter Is that the majority of the Jobs ·created by the boom are going to 04tsiders, many of them recruited from leading hotels in I Europe · or Asia.

Po Spec'lal Meeting A Special Meeting was held on 31st August to discuss the " ... the subdivision road standards for Town Planning Scheme No. 3 - the Coconut Wei Is Area'. Counci I considered correspondence and minutes . relating to the Standards adopted in September, 1984. The Engineer confirmed that the Council had applied for extra money from the Main Roads Department, for seal Ing a section of the Cape Leveque Road, . from the main highway to Mcguigan Road. However, the two roads which form the entry to the Coconut Wei Is SUbdivlsion, wi 11 have to be up-graded at the · Iandowners' expense. A letter from Mr A.Cuthbert was · read to the Counci I. Mr Cuthbert stated that he did not agree that it was the responsibi I ity of the Coconut Wei Is residents &lone to pay for the upgrading of McGulgan Road.Rather, he suggeste(1 that it ought to be shared by -rate payers , genera 11 y, as the road · 'prov Ides access to the beach. Mr Cuthbert also queried the Council's proposal. to use gravel as the road's surface material. In his experience gravel surfaces were , not long-term " successes.' He wrote : " ... Beagle Bay Road was gravelled last year and Is now In a terrible state, and a short stretch of McGulgan Road made up with gravel some 20 months ago is in I ike condition . - infinitely worse than the surface of the remainder; " possible Councl I discussed Mr Cuthbert's letter and solutions. However, they resolved to endorse the original proposal that the road be an 8.6m. wide gravel · formation, with 100mm. depth of pavement. it wl 11 be 11.24km. long with an estimated construction cost of $330,000 - divided. between the 38 lots in . the subdivision. This is calculated by Councl I t9 be ' $8,700 per lot ! How the Council expects the lot owners to ·pay- this money , or what they wi 11 do if the owner cannot (or will not) come good with the dollars was not mentioned. One can only hope that this time the gravel wl 11 prove to be more successful~ a road surface, than it has previously. But $8.700 per lot...?? Ass I stant Sh I re Resigns.

EI ephants In the Grass 7 Councl I , discussed the unkempt condition of the oval and concourse areas with the Engineer, Mr Alan Claydon. He told them of the damage which the reticulation pipes suffer during periods of heavy use. Vehicles which park on the reticulated area at sporting events can wreck the pipes - not to mention circus elephants who happen to live there for a couple of weeks. Needless to say, by the end of the busiest season they need a good overhaul, before they can be used effectively to encourage the grass. Once the repairs are finished, fertl I Ising and a heavy watering programme will begin. Mach I ne for the Roads? The Engineer also put a strong case to the Shire for the purchase of a second multi-wheel roller, to assist in the · Shire's road construction programme. He considers that the lack of the · extra machine causes delays that could be avoided. He was questioned at length on this proposal by several Counclliors. They were concerned about the roller being Idle more often than not. The Engineer reassured everyone that he didn't Just want it " just for the sake of having It ". Rather he beljeved it would enable the Shire to have two selfsufficient teams working on road . construction at one time. The cost of several machines has been investigated, and the Engineer recommended that tenders be called for the purchase of a 20 tonne multi-wheel roller. The counci I lors voted that the proposal be accepted, subject to Treasury approval. How often do'es the Sh Ire Is road sweeper go past your house? · Another Another Caravan Park.

When the letter was discussed by the Tourism and Recreation Committeee, the Shire Clerk reported on a visit to Broome by Mr Allen, ·a Planning Officer with the Department of Land Administration. Then he was advised that : " ... once the question of the proposed Golf Course on the West side of Cable Beach Road was settled one way or another, then planning In the area cou·Id· be final lsed and a caravan park site selected.

Councillors Shadforth, Gower and Matsumato recently attended a meeting for Aboriginal Councillors in Kalgoorlie. At the meeting they learned that funding is avai Iable for local government bodies to employ a social worker who would represent the needs and opinions of members of the local electorate to the Councillors. He or she would report to Counci I meetings along with the Shire Clerk, the· Engineer, etc. Councillor Shadforth brought up the subject of a Counci I Social Worker at the Counci I Meeting. However, , President Male suggested that Council couldn't afford to duplicate areas which he believed were already covered by ' the State Government. He suggested that Councillor Shadforth move that funding tor a social worker be Included for budgetary consideration In next year's budget.

It was an outgoing tide when we saw big splashes In 2ft of water and _ went to Investigate. We approached slowly as the outboard was hitting the bottom. We found a huge Dugong stranded on the sand. We also' noticed a lot' of smal I sharks, 3 to 4ft, departing the scene and we wondered If the Dugong had stranded Itself whl le trying to escape the sharks. Then we saw another Dugong, much smaller, In shallow water - It almost seemed to be deliberately stranding '-. \ ,.,...-r- ~ I ~\ \ to try to drag It, the Dugong flipped him bodily off, with the greatest of ease.' What a problem! How to move It? He washed It and stroked It to try to calm It down. Then proceeded to roll It like a barrel long, slow, hot work. But he saw ttiat the tide was retreating faster than he could roll It. Finally I arrived. We tied a rope around Ifs body and by now the water was 200 metres away. We sweated and pulled counting 10 , steps, then rest. It was Just so heavy, about half way we were so exhausted, we sat on the Dugong and rested. We almost gave up - but no, we were determined and finally we got It to the water! We groaned when we saw we had another ~ ,,.r Itself. At last, we thought, here Is our chance to save something from the sea, Instead of always kl I I Ing fish. Anchoring the boat In shallow water we started running through 1ft deep water towards the sma! I Dugong. We ran back equally as fast, as we observed 2' more sharks. We collected the spear gun as protection. What a lovely harmless animal the Dugong Is with Ifs big sad mouth and eyes. Poor baby, It was about ~ ft long. fat and heavy, with no chance of us lifting It. We dragged it by tying a rope round Its body and front fl lppers and away It swam. We really felt good, slapping ourselves with def ight. But the saga had only Just begun. My mate dashed off towards the other one, but of course the tide was retreating fast and very soon, if we weren't careful, there would be one Dugong and two humans stranded on a sandbar for 5 hours. I had to stay with the boat and take It through a maze of sandbars to find a deeper anchorage and then Jump Into chest-high water' and wade 300 metres to where the Dugong was. I could still see · the damned fins of the small sharks cleaving through the water. Meanwhl le, my poor mate had a problem - how to move one 7ft long, 3ft wide, 200kg Dugong 100 metres to the water. The poor animal was bleeding a little In three places where the sharks had been . at It and looked exhausted. When my mate grabberJ It's tal I <.l.3 200 metres at 2 to 6 Inch depth! We finally made It and the Dugong quickly revived and swam determinedly away, down the channel, to the open sea. we felt good! We felt great! But we' were too tired to whoop it up - but we did have a smug smile for the rest of the day! That should have been the end of the story, however, two hours later and eight ml les down the coast, I was doing a I lttle snorkl Ing, when· suddenly a huge grey shape appeared. 'Shark!' was my Immediate reaction. But no! It was a very large Dugong. It ' was definitely NOT the one we had saved. It was older, bigger and had many more barnacles. It Just lay there along side me. Amazing! In 15 years diving I have never seen a Dugong underwater. It was so graceful, manouverable, . and yes, beautiful In It's own way. It just kept on returning again and again. My mate Joined me and we al I swam together for 10 minutes. One of the best 10 minutes of my I lfe.

Who? Michael King? He's left Broome to pursue a course of action In a different fleld ..... ..but he' II be back! Michael's fame In the dealings of law has spread far and wide. Broomltes learnt a lot about what they should and shouldn't do by reading Michael's monthly articles that appeared In Broome News. But now Michael has resigned from his position to have a break from the practise of law and wlll travel overseas, to undertake further teacher training courses in · Transcendental Meditation. And here's what Michael has to say about Broome the Kimberley. "The practise of law In the Kimberley Is different than in Perth", says the Legal Aid Staff Solicitor, Mr Michael King of Broome. "Because the lifestyle Is relax ed the law needs to .be adapted to the surroundings.'' "to a significant degree we lawyers, the magistrates and the pol Ice adapt our practises to the needs of the region." says Mr King. Court he says is less formal than In Perth. i'Jo suit or tie Is worn In court In the Kimberley and Michael admits that this style of the Kimberley has suited him wet I over the last two and a half years. Michael says that h.l s work In the Kimberley has been both satisfying and stressful. "It Is taxing dealing with problems all the time. However, the work Is creative '- bringing about a resolution, even If It Is not always satisfactory." SIAce May 1985, Michael has travel led approximately 140,000 Kl lometres In the Kimberley and Pl Ibara, for two weeks out of every month he travels a circu it of the Kimberley giving Legal advice. He says that the continuous travel Is · taxing, mentally, physically and erriotlonally. 11 1 deal a lot with family and cr iminal law cases. In general practise such as this one can not specialise." Michael says_, that often people th ink that he should be a master of all the aspects of law. He says that the areas of law are too wide and It Is not possible to have full knowledge of the law. Somet imes he admits, he has received queries on some of the and most obscure acts. Even so, Mitchael has found his time in the Kimberley most challenging. He originally applied to come to Broome to set up the Commission's new office, · after working In Broome and Derby on the case of the Indonesian Fishermen a few years ago. MICHAEL KING WHO IN ITIATED THE LEGAL OFFICE IN BROOME, WITH HIS SUCCESSOR, HELEN MUHLING (FAR LEFT) AND OFFICE STAFF SHARRON HOLT AND HELEN NOTT IDGE. Michael says he values great ly the opportunity of 1 dealing with Aboriginal people and the chance to l 1ve in a beatitul town I ike Broome. But it hasn't been al I roses for Michael. He has had to have his telephone number listed silently. He says that Ini ti ally he was inundated by people seeking his advi ce at al I times and in al I types of situations. Mi chael has been a fami I iar sight in court, because he Is there everyday and vis its the 'lock up' to assist people in custody. Michael says that the Legal Ai d Commission's office in Broome has been a great asset as legal representation has been provided on a daily basis and the opportunity for regu lar representation has been given to the other Ki mberley towns without inv_o lvi ng huge sums of money. �CNR GREGORY & PEMBROKE STREETS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AREA NEXT TO THE INDOOR CRICKET BROOME FURNISHINGS'PHONE 091 MANCHESTER CURTAINS MATTRESSES (INNERSPRING & FOAM) CANE CARPETS LINO/VINYL RUGS & MATS DISCOUNT PAINT ~ICks IT'SAJOB Ma~abala Books, the PubUshing Project of llie Kimberley Aborig1nal Law &,Culture Centre, offers a full-time employment opportunity: the position of Secretan,!Audio-typist Salarv: $20,000 PA Annual LeaYe: 4 \\'eeks Period of Employment l Year DUTIES: l.

A working party would be formed to undertake the redrafting which would begin with recommendations contained In the Pastoral Tenure Study Group Report.

This bird, the largest of the bowerblrds, Is very common and can often be found In , Broome gardens, usually heard first with It's unique · snarl Ing, . grating or hissing sound. They are also great mimics and over a few minutes may Imitate the noises of other birds, cats, chainsaws and motor vehicles. The Great Bowerblrd Is most often seen swooping on folded wings through trees and bushes, or perching on the high, bare branches of trees, · giving Its harsh, · rasping cal I. Suspicious, yet Inquisitively bold, It wl 11 enter the fringes of towns and even bul Id its bowers there. Fruits of various kinds form Its staple diet, and It can become a pest In gardens and 'around homesteads. Bowers may be seen behind the store at Mt Barnett, at the Historical Homestead at Lake Argyle and locally at Barred Creek close to the BBQ area. The male bowerbird builds an Intricate bower at · breeding time. He then adorns this pleasure dome · with coloured shells, broken bits of _ glass, pebbles, berries, or any · other colourful Items he can obtain. Thus they are commonly referred to as the 'steal Ing bird' often removing shiny objects from campsites, Including money. - - ·- -·- ----- - There are many types of bowers but the Kimberley bowerblrd builds an avenue of twigs with a 'playground' of objects on each side and his 'treasure' In the middle. It is Interesting to note that the most elaborate and ornate bowers are bul It by the most drab-coloured bowerbirds; . while those with a more colourful plumage construc_t much simpler bowers. Bowers are not nests, as one may think, but are only places for wooing and winning the female . The nest is bul It later, and In a different location. Also, the male always constructs the bower by himself, without any help from the female. Some male .bowerblrds, after finishing their I love nests'' pick flowers, and appear before the female with the flowers· in their bl I ls, as an added Invitation! No other creature on earth, with the exception of · man, goes to so much trouble and effort to win his mate. Broome's Pearl Coast Zoological Gardens now have the Satin Regent and Spotted Bowerblrds.

The rounded blue-green leaves clasp the central stem of the plant. The flowers , a bright orange-ye I low colour, occur from July to September and, when flowering, this plant is quite handsome. Vel leia has often been cal led " Plndan Poison " and Is reputed to be poisonous to ' stock;· in particular to sheep and goats. However, all evidence to date Is circumstantial. One of its local names is " LIiii " and it is known as an Emu food. The first European to report this plant was the Botanist Al Ian Cunningham, who sailed with Captain King. They were mapping the coast In the year 1822, and from them · Is the origin of the name " King Sound ". Allan Cunningham collected this plant from Goodenough Bay and Point Cunningham, on the Dampier Peninsula.

Plans to extend .the Roebuck Hotel to provide lowcost ."bunkhouse" type accommodation for back-packers wl 11 bring new development on the land between the Carnarvon Street entrance to the Roebuck Hotel J and the Westpac Bank. The pub I ic company, headed by Brian Coppin, that owns the Roebuck Hotel, t'las acquired the block of land occupied by the old cafe bui Iding, from Peter El Iles and Al Ison Fong, and the adjoining block which was , from Kim the site of Streeter and Male ' s butcher shop, .Male. With suggestions that the block which now merely contains the ruined foundations of Streeter's butcher shop I fetched in excess of $100,000 and the old cafe site at least twice that amount, Chinatown seems to be experiencing a new form of wealthy dealing and trading. Griffiths, the manager of the Roebuck Hotel Al Ian says tbat they are sti 11 looking at various drawings and concepts for the new development, and that no definite plans have .been adopted at this stage. However, he is looking to have some plans approved by Counci I .for an early start this year. The development will then take place In stages. Although Mr. Griffiths concedes that some of the old bui Idings at the back of the Roebuck Hotel and on the cafe block will have to be demolished, there is a possibility that some of it may be retained if it can fit in with building plans. The demise of the old cafe building Is regretted by those who have fond memories of Mrs. Kim's Cafe. Mrs Kim and her husband, Chari le Klm1 moved to Broome in about 1951. It is thought by Mr. l ang Wei that they had been born in Darwin. Char.lie Kim was retiring In Broome after work)ng for 29 years as a station cook in the Pi Ibara. · Mr. and Mrs. Kim demolished the old house that was on the cafe site when they arrived and built a small house. At first Mrs Kim ran the chlnese cafe business, in tl)ls house . Dorothy Hunter recal Is that there were some chinese quarters after the war, adjacent to the rear of the cafe site, and thinks that Mrs. Kim may have started her business to cater for the tenants. In the early years customers who dined outside could find themselves sitting ,under a clothes line containing Mrs. Kim's bloomers gently flapping in the evening breeze whl le beneath their feet might appear a hen that absconded from the chicken pen. The cullinary delights of Mrs. Kim's are well remembered. Specialities of the house were curry and chil I le dishes. Many dishes included · fresh vegetables from Mrs. Kim's vegetable garden. At the · end of the evening �Chari le Kim favoured regular customers with a generous spike of brandy in their coffee. Soon after I Mrs. Kim would announce that It was her bedtime which was the signal . for diners who occupied the tables in the room that converted Into her "bedroom" to depart. Fol lowing overtures from the health Inspector, the corrugated iron extensions containing a kitchen and ' take-away food area were added to one side · of the weatherboard house. The old "thunderbox" toilet enclosed wothln hesslan was replaced by a more sophisticated model. · ·west Austr~lian Journalist ,('\thol Thomas record~d in his book Bui Is and Boabs a visit to Mrs. Kim s as follows: "~······ I was carrying a bottle of wine. 'You want a glass?' she asked bel I lgerently. I nodded. She brought me an old Kraft Cheese-spread glass. and a cork-screw and dumped them In front of me. And because it was at least 15 seconds since she had thrust the menu at me, she expected my order. 'Sweet and sour pork', I said in some confusion ..... The sweet and sour pork arrived in less than five minutes; and Mrs. Kim appeared five minutes later I Ike a genlE! from a soya suce .bottle ready to sweep my empty plate: away .... It was not a compl lcated Chinese meal but It took less than 15 minutes to order prepare and consume ..... The sweet and sour pork cost only one do 11 ar." That . certainly provides an Interesting contrast to eating out in Broome's Chinese Restaurants during the tourist season these days! Mrs Kim, who was only about 4)f feet tal I, Is remembered with high regard. She walked carrylrig her parasol to regularly attend Sunday morning services at the Ang I lean Church. Bery I Ba I rd rec a 11 s how Iler husband , Ray, was away on his -duties as the Pearling Superintendent, when a close family friend who was visiting Broome took her and her daughter, Delma out to tea at Mrs. Kim's. However, Mrs, Kim was . not going to have any part of Broome's promiscuous tendencies> and refused to serve Beryl when she was out on the town with another man. After Chari le Kim went to spend his · final days In Hong Kong, Mrs. Kim _ continued with her young apprentice, Mr. Tong. Sam May·ers relates how Mrs. Kim insisted in preparing her apprentice to open his own restaurant that he should get a wife: When Mr. Tong returned from a holiday In Hong Kong with no wife, Mrs. Kim assumed responsibi I ity for the situation. During a visit to Hong .·Kong Mrs. Kim found an eligible lady and returned to Broome with her. Soon Mr. Tong chose to marry her. In about 1974, Mrs. Kim closed· her cafe and Mr. Tong opened "Tongs" restaurant which still operates in Napier Terrace. Mrs. Kim sold her property to the fast-moving Peter Dowding, who Is now a leading cabinet minister in the Burke Government. She then moved to Singapore where she spent her final years. From about 1975-81 Lyn Bunny operated the cafe as a vegetarian restaurant called "Rabbits". Roger and Lorraine Colclough also leased the premises for a while, from 1985 to early 1986. Tony and Lennie Bahles renovated the property which they called "Kabuki Gardehs" I PART OF THE SITE OF THE OLD BUTCHER SHOP OVERLOOKING THE EXTENSION TO MRS KIM'S CAFE. and set up an antique business and a Mexican Restaurant. . Among the Improvements made to the property by Torw Bahles was the erection of the waterproof traditional style pagoda.' He hopes that the pagoda will b~ relocated to a venue where It can be enjoyed. Balanese style pagoda. He hopes that the pagoda will . be relocated to a venue where It can be enjoyed. Behind . the cafe is .another building which in recent years has been the residence for people who have leased it. Some contention surrounds the origin of the bul.ldlng. The simple building consists of a central living area which · is also the entry area to tour smaller rooms. The bui Iding has very low eel I ings, windows and doors, and had no kitchen. \ Initially It appears that this bui Iding could have been one ot the many Japanes~ brothels which used · to operate in Broome. However, Mrs, Tack believes that this bul Iding was erected by the Klms, and was their I iving quarters In their latter years. This proposition is supported by the fact that the · Klms were very short. They did not need a kitchen because they used the cafe kitchen,and that this area was frequented by °Chinese rather than Japanese. · Information about the Streeter and Male \ butcher shop which stood between the cafe and WI I I le Fong's house is also very blurred . Mrs. Tack remembers it as the only butcher shop in Broome. It probably had a cool room dependent on ice, in which the meat was stored. Peter and Jean Haynes· were customers at the store· which was run by Henry _Denhalm. The shop was probably demolished towards the end of the war. With the Inevitable loss of many of the old parts of Broome, It Is gratifying that there are people who can still provide some records of the area's history. Brian Coppin Is keen for the new accommodation units to have a facade that wl 11 resemble that of the Shiba Lane bui Idings of about 80 years ago. The Roebuck Hotel would be interested In any Information about these old bul Idings to assist their plans.

A good lead from James Dann produced the second for the quarter. Bard i equa 11 ed these goals with efforts from the bri I I Iant Kevin Ejai and Chris Sampi. Again, one point was the margin• at half time. Victor came 'into the play strongly to be one of Beagle Bay's best, along with Howard and Corpus. Michael Carter, altough lacking in stature, was outstanding for Bard I and was wel I supported by Wiggan, Ejai and Sampi. TH I RD QUARTER Sardi gained the ascendancy in this quarter. kicking 4 goals 1pt to shoot to a 15 point lead, whilst Beagle Bay suffered the horrors of the Chinatown end again, contributing one goal five points for the quarter. Reggie Thomas opened the scoring tor Bardl at the five minute · mark, this being the first of his five goals for the game. Beagle Bay repl led a minute later, with Keith Kitchener making Bardi pay the ful I penalty tor a bad mistake. Ejai dri I led another one tor Sardi a minute later, and then Reggie Thomas made amends tor an easy miss with another and Bardi were roil Ing. In one of the plays of the day Kevin EJal displayed al I his ski 11 and tenacity to run the bal I forward and drl 11 the bal I to Sampi, who did not miss. Bard I went Into the break looking sl lghtly better than Beagle Bay. Reggie Thomas, Ejai, Carter and their hard working ruckman ls~acs were Bardi's best tor Beagle Bay, best players were harder to pick, but Victor tried hard, as did James Dann, Albert Dann and Laurie Donation. FOURTH QUARTER JOEL ISMC (left) REGGIE THOMAS (right) "MAN OF THE MATCH" Bardl's coach, Alan Blshop1 asked his players to use the long ball, down the centre and to be the first -to the bal I. They did not let him down. Beagle Bay coach , Peter Marshal I rang the changes, but despite Beagle Bay havl~g their most productive quarter of the game (3 goals 1 po int) they could not match Sardi 's six goal effort. The quarter started at a frantic pace. in the 2nd minute Reggie Thomas scored for Sardi, in the 5th, Dann for Beagle Bay. When Thomas struck again In the 6th minute, fol lowed by EJai in the 7th, the_ game looked to have been tipped. Beagle Bay were not to be denied, and Gregory showed them the easy way home, then Dann punished a foolish tree kick in the 13th mi'nute and the game was sti 11 on. Tl1e Bardl coach then indicated to the crowd, his players, and the heavens above that he needed an answering goal. It came from the boot ot Stanley Ozles one minute later: Beagle Bay could not score. Again In the quarter and after Justin Sampl goaled in the 19th minute, It was fitting that Reggie Thomas, the man who did the damage, kicked the last goal of the game. Reggie Thomas was adjudged man of the match by umpires Ron Buckey and Br Ian Kane. The umpires contro 11ed the game wei I, Buckey with the ease of a veteran and Brian Kane with surprising cqolness for a person who had this honour thrust upon him an hour before the game. Their Job was helped by the way in which the teams played the game. Umpire Buckey noted that it was very rare to see both sides link arms and chee~ each other after the game. This attitude, compl lmented by the hospital lty shown the umpires at the Bard I celebrations, should ensure Umpire Buckey returns next year.

HOCKEY In April ,1987, the second season of hockey in Broome vvas commenced ·. Initial interest was high ·with six teams quickly formed. This has since dropped to five and now four teams. However, despite this, hockey is stl 11 being played in Broome. r With the final ::; In October - November, the 1987 season Is almost over. In 1988 a new grassed oval (at the rear of the P.C.Y. C.) should be ready and suitable for field hockey. Due to a few teething problems In 1987, I feel that an Association should be formed in early 1988, to organise ' the hockey competitions. Many possibilities exist for field hockey and junior hockey. There seems no lack of players, only a lack of people willing to take responsibility and become an official. Without an Association I cannot see u~ progressing from the 1987 season. Anyone wanting to play, umpire or help out(in 1988) should attend our · first meeting to be held in February . 1988.

What concerns me is the paragraph; Quote: ''I think it is more beautiful than the Queensland coast here because the· water is more blue and there . are no stingers." Back in May 1986 my' wite·, Christine, and I were stung by an 'irukandJI' stinger, at Cable Beach. I had to carry Christine into the hospital and 5 minutes later I was affected by the toxins. The pain is incredible. We were in Broome District Hospital for 5 days before I was discharged, and Christine was flown by RFDS back to Fremantle Hospital because of compl !cations. It was a terrifying time for both us and our families. We later found that 7 people, that week, had reported being stung and further more, ·1n Dec~mber i986, the beach was c Iosed because of the number of peop Ie stung by the same creatures as us. Christine and I .now reside in Broome and are somewhat shocked that the Shire has not placed warning signs up, and even more shocked, and somewhat angered, over what was written in the Sunday Times. Wl,th tourism booming• In this town I 6ei Ieve that It is the Shire's responsibility to erect PERMANENT signs, warning the pub I le that between certain months of the year (the 'Wet' or now known as the 'Green season) the ct)ance of stingers is greater.

Box 470 Ph. Firstly, the Charity 'Queen Is crowned due to her fund-raising efforts for her nominated charity. This Involves not only the Charity Queen, but also a hard . working, loyal and dedicated committee, as with al I other Shlnju Queen entrants. The Shinju Queen is selected for her personal lty. Therefore, criticism of this year's winner lmpl les bias on the part of • the Judges. Al I 1987 Shlnju Queen entrants were hard-working and very attractive ladles. Therefore I am sure the judges decision would have taken account of al I areas relating to their final decision, which in no way involved any member .of the ShlnJu Committee. The wr.lter mentions a reward for al I other entrants. Al I entrants do receive a prize of. a Paspaley pearl. As for one of the entrants receiving " a pat on the head and an extra pair of pearl earrings". What of the entrants who didn't receive an extra pair of earrings? Perhaps the writer of the letter should be a I ittle less prejudiced and consider ,them. I certainly heard . no compplaints from the other entrants, who had all worked equally hard. The letter mentions the fact of a Prison Officer being · President of ShinJu. This I consider deserves congratui. atlons, rather than criticism, on what I and most other people consider a difficult Job being very well done. • Then there is criticism of the way In which the fund raising monies · were collected. In al I, the writer of the letter appears bigoted and prejudiced in her ' outiook. My sympathy I ies with the Shlnju Queen entrant whom the writer implies is unhappy with her prizes. As I am sure, I Ike al I other entrants, she got Involved not for the prize winning, but for the fund-raising. The letter ends wondering if the Shlnju Comn:ilttee wl 11 have to f Iy thJ s year's 'Queen back , to Broome th Is year. The 1986 Queen paid her own fare to re-visit this year's Shinju Festival, and the current Shinju Queen is content to be residing In Broome, with at present no plans to depart. As for next year's entrants, I already know of several young ladles keen to enter for 1988. • To conclude this letter, I would I ike to express · my admiration for all 1987 Shinju Queen entrants on a hard-working and · dedicated achievement. My thanks .also to the Shlnju Committee for what was a most Impressive ten day event. Unlike the writer of the previous letter, am proud to put my name to this letter.

No, I think not. If people I Ike you got off your backsides and helped to organize such things as Shlnju, you might not be so quick to criticize or accuse such hard working people as those who made up the ShinJu Committee and the PCYC fundraislng committee . And as for the Slime entrant winning both titles, I'd say ,she certainly deserved it after a record breaking $16,000. I am sure the entrants were not in the quest for what they could get out of It, but to raise funds for the benefit of our commur:ilty.

To this end, I personally nominate 'name suppl led' as a most deserving recipient of the 1987 'Broome Sour Grapes Award, with the crowning to take 1 1n Parts Unknown'.

I would like to add that my daughters and hundreds of other kids that use the facilities at P.C.Y.C. are extremely grateful to ' Jodi and the many people who made it happen. C. Sharland. QUEENS 9 Upon reading the letter 'Queens' in the last issue of Broome News, I felt compelled to write this letter stating . the correct facts concerning the P.C.Y.C. a~d Prison Officers ShlnJu Entrant. Many hour~ of · hard work were put Into raising money for P.C.Y.C. through ShlnJu by Jodi and her husband John, P.C.Y.C. supporters and Prison Officers. Personal rewards were not thought of but great satisfaction was derived from knowing that al I monies raised were going towards Improving the recreational facl I ltles for the children of Broome. If 'Name Supplied' . would like to contact- me I will gladly show how we raised such a large amount of money and go through our . fund raising account with you. The fact that Jodi won both Charity and ShlnJu Queen titles showed that the Judges used great honesty and Integrity by ch9oslng t~e entrant they felt most deserved the titles of Shlnju Queen and their task would not have been made any easier because of the very high standard set by al I the entrants. I would also I Ike to point out that the money raised was not handed Into the Prison _as suggested by 'Name Suppl led' but to the Tourist Bureau on the closing date. · iThe Prison Officers Social Club has worked hard In 1986 and 1987 to raise funds for very worthy youth organisations In Broome, and I have no doubt that they Ni 11 continue to do so In future years. President Prison Officers Social Club Peter Green. QUEENS 10 am writing In response to the letter In the last Issue the Broome News titled Queens. iThe letter was obviously written by a very Impetuous rson with scant regard to the truth, facts and the ~I lngs of the people Involved. To 'Name Suppl led' me state a few facts. Firstly It Is not the first ,e a girl has been named ShlnJu Queen- and Charity een, but the lessor prize has always gone to the :t highest fundraiser. This year the committee decided that each girl would be Judged fairly on her mer.Its. The results of the funds raised was .known by only· one person, the ShinJu Treasurer, and the · monies ·and results were locked In the safe at the Commonwealth Bank. The Judges then could not be Influenced by the ·· amount of - monies raised, as to who should be ShlnJu Queen. Because of my work load, I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to meet with the Judges untll the Cor.onatlon Bal I. . As for your rather snide -remark about President's 'confl let of Interest', l>ecause I am a Prison Officer and work with a g(eat bunch of fellows who gave ShlnJu great support, because I was President. UNfortll'lately because I was President I was '· unable to help them as I have in the \ past, If you . suggest any Impropriety state the facts, don't pussy foot around with Innuendos; The money raised by each entrant was handed to .the ShlnJu · Treasuer at the Shlnju Office at · the Tourist Bureau, not the prison. The Shlnju Committee did not fly last year's Queen Chrissie · Leavy to Broome ,for the Crowning Ball, and· I doubt whether any committee could afford to. We were very grateful that she did attend at her own cost, and as far as I know Jodie Thompson is still In · Broome. Maybe you should .ask her If she intends to stay. · It is letters I Ike yours 'Name . Suppl led' that high I lght the reason why very few Presidents ever take up·· the position more than one, from all accounts the ShlnJu Festiv.al -was the biggest and best· so far, but I am Sure' people will find faults. I suggest that people lll<e 'Name Supplied' get on the committee . next y~ar and find out I Ike I did, how easy It .is to run a festival of this size. • As I do know your name, I'll be looking forwar<ito presenting you with your 1988 · portfolio at the A.G.M. ShlnJu President G.A.Aldersea~ QUEENS .~~-;1 I am writing to voice my support for the article titled "Queens" which appeared In th~•· September issue .of the Broome News. . .tk· I think there is a need for a definite ruling to be set down by the ShinJu Comrnl.ttee . stating that, entrants only be able to win one crown . . I also think some steps should ·be made to establish guidellnes'· to · e11sure th.a t the Queen stays in Broome for her full year's reign and some thought could ' be given to having the Queen attend at social functions throughout the year as It exists in other quests. The last two years we have seen the ShinJu Queen leave the town with only half their term being completed. In regard to the matter of the handing in of the funds raised by the entrants, perhaps It may be • considered by the Shlnju Committee to engage an independent ,film of chartered accountants as this would dispel I any · doubts that may · arise. �Broome Office Supplies & Services * Photocopiers * Fac s i mile mac h ine s * Typewrite rs * Answe rin g machines * Ca l culators * Cas h Re gisLers * Pap e r I * Ru bber Stamps Comprehensive range of S tatio nery GRANT & JANE KENNY TELEPHONE 922 354 SHOP 2, 28 SAVILLE STREET .

We were also appalled at the way the ShlnJu Queen and Charity Queen titles were conducted. We would like to know why the Shlnju Committee changed the rules to permit · an entrant to win both prizes. Surely the ShlnJu Committee must realise how hard It Is to get girls to_ compete for the quest, but If the ruling stays then It's going to be even harder, we as a committee wl 11 not be putting an entrant In unless this ruling Is changed. We thought this festival Is supposed to be localized and local girls given a chance to support the community, we bel Ieve that much consideration to be given to al I girls who enter the quest In regards . as to what Is termed as 'local'. Entrants should have lived ' In Broome for at least 12 months prior to being nominated and they ~ontlnue to I Ive In Broome a further 12 to support the community and sponsor after the quest.

CAPE LEVEQUE ROAD Could you please print the enclosed letter In the Broome news. President, Broome Shire Counc i l., Broome. I am writing about the disgusting and dangerous condition of the Broome Cape Leveque Road. I have been servicing the Dampier Peninsula for 6 years as a Tax i Operator and also as the mal I contractor for that area. In the six years that I have been servicing the road It has neve~ been as bad or as dangerous as what It is now and has been for the past year. I have purchased speclflcal ly· for the One Arm point Road $150,000 worth of new vehicles In the past three years and all of them have literally been smashed by the condition of the road. My current repair bl 11 is MORE than the gross takings of servicing the peninsula. I have recently taken photos of the wash · aways, Large pot holes, sand holes, damaged vehicles, vehicles under water and bogged. If there Is not a permanent maintenance programme Introduced soon by the body responsible I wl 11 be putting the matter before the Austal Ian media with facts and photos. In June this year I drove I lterally across Australia o Noosa Heads to attend my father's funeral. I took ,attle tracks through Queensland and the Territory, md came back through the back roads of N.S.W., Victoria, \ Ph. 921826 South Austraf ia, A ll ee Springs, and the Tanaml D~sert Road to Broome. NO WHERE did I find a road that is any where near or comparable to the condi t ion of the One Arm. point Road ....... . There was a death on that road a few months ago. There was another about 18 months ago. There was a very bad accident where .a man had his right arm mangled and so on. Money was found for the emergency services, for the pol Ice to Investigate for a man to be flown to Perth for surgery an<:J for eight months skin grafting and for another · fare back and so on.But there Is the Implication by all concerned that there Is no money tor maintenance and no money for s igns to show where the death traps are. I · haven't bothered to complain .to your council In the past because It has been made quite clear to me that complaints about the road to the council Is a running Joke with the councll,and the condition of the road Indicates how sick the Joke Is. However I am writing today because · of the toflowing reason.My mal I run yesterday took 3 hours longer than usual . because of the current condition of the road and my vehicle has sustained more damage to It than usual (at a lower speed than usual ). ! had to stop · numerous times to glue assistance to people broken down.I stopped at a parked car to see If the occupants wanted assistance and was told that they hadn't .broken down but someone was Injured.They showed me a small boy,about 4,wlth his nose smashed in and said"Our son hurt himself on the motor car when it hit th is hole."anct pointed to a wash away that had . been there for two wet seasons. That decided me to voice my opinion to your council before you wait for a school ." bus tul I of kids to get wiped • out or somethl'ng else similar motivates you to take some action.I considered • contacting the relevant ministers but then saw a notice where they visit • the Dampier Peni,nsula by charter plane. I ?m not ask.Ing for the road to be f ixed up or rebul It (thats been done already about three times In six years). · I'm asking that a permanent maintenance crew be . put o~ the road to keep It malntalneq to a safe degree.If you rebul Id now It wl 11 be the same again l,n another few months and remain l ike that for the usual 18 month period or whatever until the next hue and cry, If . there Is no improvement soon I will · be making It a media Issue. · John Kernott.

Because many of us do not seek space In the press; or do not go to public meetings or do not march in the streets, 'does not mean that we disbel leve in conservation.

However if you are a real contributor to our society and a worker and not · I iv ing off the hard work of others. then I believe there will often come a time when the hard decision has to be made whereby strict conservation has to give minor points to the progress of society.

Once this Is done, "No thru road" signs can be erected on roads to Which the pub I le has no legal /ccess. People are legally permitted to treat gazette roads as they do any pub I le roads. Whether or not the roads pass through a pastoral lease, people would be entitled to use them to gain access to Vacant Crown land on the foreshore, If they have been formally gazetted. The main dlfflculty at this stage Is establ lshl.ng which roads have this status.

Phil, ,who has been the beneficiary of some abuse this past week from unhappy potential ball-goers said the remalning tlck.e ts - approximately 260 - were sold strictly on a first-in, first-served basis . . As for the $25 price per ticket, it Is up to each ShlnJu Committee to decide ~hat to charge. The ShinJu President stressed that this was superb value for money .. when compared with slml lar events ' In Perth .and else- · where. The $25 provided a meal, three floor shows and a rock band, however alcohol was extra. Many locals who couldn't manage the $25 price tag may have felt a 1ittle left out of the opening ceremonies, but for the most, these people were probably amply catered for by other events taking place on the night of August 22. , so far anyone who wants to go next year the message is, save the penn ies and get In early.

On the final day the MamabulanJln Resource Agency arranged for the Minister for Tourism, Pam Beggs, to speak to representatives by telephone from Kununurra.

LANE 26 �ALCOHOL ABUSE WHAT FUTUR E FOR ABORIGINAL ALCOHOL ABUSERS ? Last month vve featured a on recent lengthy article Mllllya deve I opr:nents at Rumurra. This month to coincide with National Aboriginal Week we have shifted the focus to attempt to explain what Is being done on the State level abou~ alcohol, drug 'and solvent abuse affecting Aboriginal people. Currently under review are Aboriginal Community To put this In by-laws regarding drugs t of abuse. context, It may prove useful to look at how hlstorlcal ly leglslatlon has tried to control consumption of alcohol by Aboriginal people . . 11n 1905 the Aborigines Act was Introduced, a section of which made It an offence to supply alcohol to Aboriginal people. . Punishment was not unduly harsh and· was difficult to police, so Commission Men as suppliers were commonly known and by large got off scot free. In 1909 there was a complete tum aboljt rand prohibition of alcohol was Introduced for Aboriginal people. l'hls time punishment was much harsher and a person could be Imprisoned for up to ,six months for being found In possession of one bottle of alcohol Jc beverage. Prohibition was not I lfted In Austral la untl I 1964 with the exception of the Kimberley and the · Goldflelds where It was not .lifted until 1971. . As people who grew up In that time will tell you, there was stl 11 alcohol to be obtained If you knew the way. Prohibition has always proven to be an Inefficient tool for control of drugs - the rise of criminals I ll<e Al Capone who made their money during America's prohibition period In the 1920's by setllng Illegal alcohol serve to demonstrate It's Ineffectiveness. · People In the Kimberley wll I also remember that Drinking Rights were granted to certain coloured people If considered by bureaucracy to be 'respor:islble people'. The reason for Kimberley not having drinking rights before 1971 was that they were not considered responsible enough to cope with drinking rights. Jn 1979 the Aboriginal Communities Act was ·introduced Which Included the followl0g by-Jaw: "The council of a ·. community to which this Act applies may ·make by-laws relating to the community lands of the community for or with respect to - (g) The prohibition, restriction or regulation of the possession, use or supply of alco· hoilc liquor or deleterious substances". By .1985 the alcohol problem had · worsened In many areas with the added concern of petrol sniffing amongst younger, members of the community. As a result, over the next eight months a Mr John Hedges complied a repart released In March 1986 known as - Community Justice Systems and Alcohol Control; Recommendations relating to the Aboriginal Communities Act and Dry Area Leglslatlon In Western Australia. The purpose ·was to extend the I lmlts of the Act In order to abuse. Whilst In · the Kimberley he met with the following groups that participate In the Aboriginal Communities Bldyadanga Aboriginal Community, La Grange· Act: ctlb Got Me I'm No Longer My Ovvn Man Inc., Bardl Aboriginal Association .

Mr Hedges also met with staff from Ml 11 lya Rumurra to get a perspective on the alcohol problem as they saw it, plus ways that Milllya Rumurra could enforce the ir right to · maintain alcohol - free environment.

Things are now changing as Broome, Derby and Wyndham have received monies, and other areas such as Fitzroy CrQsslng, Kununurra and Hal Is Creek are receiving support from Regional Officers. Mr Ernie Bridge as Minister for Aborlglnal Affairs has shown considerable concern during the course of his polltlcal career position he has made a commitment to keeping funding In the area a priority and ensuring Aboriginal involv.ement In decision-making processes with regard to funding and staffing.

We provide a legal service for al I Aborigines and their spouses. We are located In Kununurra, . Halls Creek, Derby and Broome. In the Klmberley we have two Solicitors and five Field Officers working In the Courts, the .Communities and In the towns. I can remember hearing a story when I first Joined Aboriginal Legal Service, about a cl lent In Hal Is · Creek charged with · a serious criminal offence. His first and only concern was that the lawyer do her best · to get probation or a - good behaviour bond tor; him. He was spoken to by the lawyer about the alleged · offence and, In . the iawyer's opinion, he was clearly not · guilty. He was advised to plead "not guilty". The matter proceeded to trial and the client was found "not gul lty" by the Magistrate. Outside the courthouse He was told he could the client was most upset. go home · - '!yeah", · he replied "but what about . my bond". ' This, of course, may not · be a true story but It does highlight the view many Aborigines have of, 'the "LAW". It Is seen as a vague group consisting of police, prisons, Magistrates, lawyers and Courts - there simply and •solely to give fines, pr.Ison sentences, bonds, probation, community service orders and meaningless · advice. Aboriginal' Legal Service hopes to bridge this gap and change the demoralizing acceptance of the law, by some AbOrlglne~. as a sort of white gOd.

COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES Field Officers play an Important and central role In our organisation. They are an Innovation peculiar to Aboriginal Legal Service In that they are not used by non-Aboriginal legal aid agencies (e.g. Legal Aid Commission). 1.n my experience, Field Officers are at least ·as Important as lawyers. A good Field Officer is a bridge between the lawyer and the cl lent. - Without them, the cultural problems to be faced would be almost They gather Information needed by Insurmountable. They lawyers to give · advice and to conduct trials. enable effective commt.r1lcatlon to take place, when otherwise It would be strained or simply Impossible. They detect legal problems themselves and bring them to the lawyer's attention. 'These trouble-shooters are a personal focus for · Aborigines with legal problems, queries and complaints. For myself, life without Field Officers Is unthinkable! The provision of basic legal rights to Aborigines has not proved to be politically popular, and thus, Aboriginal Legal Service suffers from a lack of .funding more so / than other legal aid agencies. In' the North particularly, we are Inadequately provided for. · The day when both Field Officers and translators are used Is a long way off. At the moment the Field Officer, alone assists In filling· this gap. · ' Like the Legal Aid Commission, Aboriginal t~gal ~rvlce Is the provider of specific ·legal advice. Aboriginal Legal Service provides a vehicle for the expression of Aboriginal opinion. .

After three days of seeming stalemate, the tyrant left to the Immense joy of the people. People power had been born. Some called it a miracle. But this "miracle" was well-prepared by a group of reflecting, courageous Christians and a group of Bishops who yalued loyalty to God and their people more than ttie power and money of a dictator. After the elections, the Phll liplno Bishops wrote a remarkable letter. They Informed the people . - \\!e have seen evidence of vote-rigging, Intimidation, stealing of ballot boxes, removing opponents from the electoral roll , and bribery.

Over 170 delegates from Port Hedland, Marble Bar and Derby Joined with the local congregation In Broome for the two day discussion of the theme, "Love for the Worldwide Brotherhood". M' Ray Cowling, the 'otstrlct Supervisor, reported, "The global brotherhood . of Jehovah's Witnesses has topped three ml II Ion''. and he cl aimed that, "Genuine love and affection bond them together, In spite of a generally divisive and hateful atmosphere worldwide". "Evidence of this type of love-In-action", Mr Cowllng said, "Is the personal Interest Jehovah's Witnesses display by giving free Bible courses In the homes of people In every land without obligation". He views this as, "application of Jesus' lnstructlc:m to preach the good news of the Kingdom".

Currently motorists · arriving at the NT/WA border on t.he Great Northern Highway Just east of Kununurra, have •to stop ·at · an Agriculture Department checkpoint In order to deposit any plants, fruits and vegetables that they are bringing with them into WA. · Our state regulations prevent the Importation of such products. Mr Stephens said that many motorists are unders.tandably upset when they arrive at the border because they have not had previous warning of the WA regulations. This often involves the loss of quantities ·of fruit and vegetables that they had only Just stocked.: up on across the border for their travels Into the north of WA. Th·e State Agriculture Minist~r has been encouraged to open discussions up with the Northern Territory . Government to see if it is possible for signs to be erected north, south and west of the township of Katherine arid somewhere near the settlement of Timber · Creek, to alert motorists travel I Ing into WA of the ·implications of the ( WA quarantine regulations • . Mr Stephens said it was only a matter of courtesy to ensure that tourists coming into WA were not subject to sudden loss of large quantities of their green groceries. Tom Stephens P.R.

BIRDS OF THE DAMPIER .PENINSULA The Black-faced Cuckoo Shr Ike · Corac Ina novaeho ·t1and I ae Is one of t,.e . best knovvn In Austral la, being . found In virtually al I locat Ions from · the · suburban garden to the ar Id Inter I or. This dapper, predominantly grey and black bird, which always lool:<s well-dressed, has, nearly as many names as It has · habitats:. Some of, the' best known are Blue Jay, Grey Jay, Shufflewing and Summerbird. Its correct name of Cuckoo Shrike is peculiar because It really has no relationship with either species. Its fl lght certainly has some siml larltles to the cuckoo. with Its' flap-gl Ide, undulating pattern . but there the 1lkeness ends. In the R.A.0.U. Atlas ' of Austral Ian Birds It was the fifth most-commonly reported bird in Australia - second In W.A. after the Willie Wagtail. It Is .al.;o found In Ne\'{ Guinea, South-east Asia and India. In the field, care must be taken to 'identify Immature Black~faced Cuckoo Shrikes from the smaller Whltebel I led Cuckoo Shrike, This can be done If we remember that the eye-marking In the young Black-faced extends behind the eye wt{ere' It stops In the Whltebel lied, and of course the White-be I lied Is much whiter and cleaner looking on the breast and belly. The Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike has two other characteristics that makes It easy to Identify In the field even at extreme range. The first Is Its almost Invariable habit of fold Ing and refolding Its wings,· when It alights In a fussy manner, rather like a fastidious person making· certain their clothes are neat and wrinkle'" free. This has earned the bird the sobriquet of Shuf...-.. flewlng In some areas. The second Is Its abl I lty to hang In the air when pursuing Insects, hovering In a manner reminiscent of the Australian Kestrel or the Black-shquidered Kite. While it's true to say it lacks , the at;>'.l lHy -. tQ sustain the hover for an extended period as ' the two raptors (birds of prey) can, It . is nevertheless a most unusual attribute, not often seen in Australian birds. The nest , of this species is small 1very neat and hard to discover because it hugs the b~anch '1t Is situated on. A nest containing three fledglings can only be described as extremely crowded.

Broome Boxing had a great night' s fighting at the Broome Civic Centre on August 9. Some top-I ine fights were seen and the standard of boxing has improved since last . year. Some of the boys are of Perth standards now but with another year's training · under their belt they could go away and hold · their own with any club in Australia. Zone lnte~natlonal Re,feree, Bob Lloyd; who was flown · up for this tournament also said the local Broome boys' standard of boxing was very high. Jim Hawkins who takes the exercises tor the boys is doing a great job and t'le has put In many hours this year to Improve the standard. It Is really gratifying td me as a member of the W.A. Amateur Boxing Association . to hear and · r~ad what the International Referee said about the Broome boxers. Four · top- I ine boxers plus the referee were flown up from Perth for the event ·which cost just under $2,000 for these five people to come to Broome. So I would I Ike to thank the ·sponsors who made this possible; Chicken World, Butle['s Uvestock and Haulage Contractors, Roebuck Hotel, Pearl Coast Bread, Mac's Art Shoppe, Wesfarmers, Seavlew Pharmacy, Healthy Being, Video West and · Auskl Hol lday Resort. Broome Boxing will .stage another Boxing Tournament on September 20 which wl 11 be held · In Derby and should prove very popular with the people there . Along with the boxing there will be a Disco Fashion Parade put on by Betty's Choice so It should prove to be a top night as all of the Broome boxers are · looking forward to going to Derby. The next Boxing Tournament to be held In Broome will be In the Civic Centre on October 4. It Is hoped This tournament Karratha wli'I · be up for this event. 1 will be the last one ~n Broome for the 86 Season, but we will probably fight down In Karratha and maybe go up to Fitzroy Crossing also before Broome Boxing closes down for the year. ' ' As with Footbal I, Boxing is Seasonal and the boys need 'a rest otherwise you get stale and Instead of improving you go backwards. A lot of work has been put Into boxing this year as It was last year and I bel leve It has been very successful. ·1 would like to thank' everybody who has helped boxing this year ~ndy Bubb for their ti.me and effort.

REPRODUCED BELOW ARE THE CONCLUSIONS OF THAT REPORT CONCERNING BROOME AND DERBY. KEEPING IN MIND THE FACT THAT THE PRIVATE DEVELOPERS HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM NEGOTIATIONS OVER THE BROOME AIRPORT IT MAKES FOR INTERESTING READING. A COPY OF THE FULL REPORT IS HELD AT THE BROOME NEWS OFFICE AND IS AVAILABLE FOR PERUSAL BY THE PUBLIC. Broome THE COMMITTEE TOOK NOTE OF THE MANY COMMENTS ON .THE APPEAL OF BROOME AS A DESTINATION FOR OVERSEAS TOURISTS. · · There was little doubt as to the validity of these comments. The fact that considerable tourist infrastructure has already been established in the town - and that there was continued expansion of it suggested a strong level of faith in the future. That this infrasb::ucture is already well utilised, and is the subject of continued aggressive marketing, was further evidence. The status of the airport to serve this need has remained unclear. During the course of the Committee's deliberations, negotiations were occurring on the establishment of a · new airport for the town. The successful outcome of these discussions required the agreement of both the local council and the State and Federal Government Departments If the discussions prove to be successful, a new Broome airport will be built on the outskirts of the town within five years. It seems likely that this facility would be designed to meet the needs of the dom tourist market initially. However, the indications are that it would also be ouilt so that it can be conveniently upgraded to handle the needs of international ail:;JJ,ne services at some future time at minimal cost. This sequence may see, for instance, the airport being built initially with a B747 strength runway and B737 length. At the appropriate future time, the runway could then be lengthened to full B74 7 status without disrupting operations. By the end of the study period, the . fulfilment of this scenario was apparently becom.l,ng more likely. However, the development was not dependent on any imput from, or deliberations of, the Committee. The presence of a substantial private interest in creating a new Broome Airport to adequately service the tourist investment in the town gave the matter a degree of independence from · the present investigation. Whilst various concerns and oplluons as to the development of a new Broome Airport and the manner in which it might operate were expressed within the Committee, it was recognised that what was happening there was quite a separate exercise to these deliberations . The Committee concluded that it was likely that Broome would have a new airport in the short to medium term, and that the pavement strength would provide for progression to international gateway standard. · �J ·Derby AMONGST THOSE MOST INTERESTEp IN THE OUTCOME OF THE BROOME DISCUSSIONS WERE THE PEOPLE OF DERBY. Their frustration with. the situation was understandable. After a 1on~ period of difficult deliberation, the town had agreed to the closure of its old aLrport to regular airline services and relDcation to the Curtin Air Base forty kilometres down the road. Here was a facility capable of handling the largest civil jets the Kimberley region was likely to see · for many years, for a minimal extra· ootlay. This was appare.n tly an ideal site for an international gateway, well · located to the . coastal attractions of Broome and the wilderness appeal of the hinterland. And this probably would have been the case, but for the shortcomings of the existing Broome Airport. If the Broome facility had mt been located in the centre of town; with no useful ex. pansion capability, then it might have been a different story. Broome Airport might have bee,n. viewed solely as a domestic facility. curtin might have adequately served Broome' s overseas as well as interstate clients and indeed those of the whole of the Kimberley - for many years to come. However, the private developers behind the Broome tourist industry took the view that th~ town needed a new airport - a view with which there was little dispute - and that if they were . to be faced with · the expense of · establishing me then they would be foolish not to incorporate .the potential for an international capability during construction. While the Committee was unable to pass final judgement on the situation, it did lean towards the conclusion that with the developments at Broome, it was unlikely that Derby could maintain any aspirations of this nature in anything but ·the long term future. It was judged that Curtin would · go on and become a most important element . in domestic operations, able to ·handle any aircraft that an Australian domestic airline. was likely to want to land there, but the presence of international operations seemed further off. · In arriving at this conclusion, the Committee noted that the Premier (Dowding) had already made known to the Federal Government · his . views on the standard of civil facilities being provided at Curtin. Further, he ooted that the 1cost of upgrading civil facilities to B737 or, indeed to B767 standard would be relatlvley low. In response, the Federal Govern9ent stated that the Curtin facilities were adequate to meet current and forseen aviation requirements in the r~ion, and were capable of expansion for iarger · aircraft s hould the need arise.

ONE MILE RESERVE Council discussed the problems associated with alcohol being consumed en the side of the road opposite the One Mile Reserve·.

Driscoll, A/Coordinatqr of the Country Branch of DPUD. They discussed the Kimber~ey Reg:ion Planning Study. . Mr Brown said that the Study' s purpose is to be " •••• a guide for managing change. A plan like this will provide a mechanism whereby Government and Local Government are locked into a common cause •••• " Once you have a plan that you are happy with you can get the government to recognise it by Policy under Section SAA of the Act. All they are trying to do is produce a set of strategies for Council. " Mr Driscoll said that the make up of the Committee at the present time is the 4 Shire Presidents, the DPUD Officer and the Coordinat:Or of the Kimberley Regional Development Advisory Committee. The ·Committee will elect its own Chairman. He said the · two functions of the DPUD were: a. Statutary Planning and b. Strategic Planning. The Meeting discussed the Plan at length. Councillor Male was concerned that only the abbreviated form of the Plan had been given to Councillors. Only the President (then himself) had received the full Plan, marked as "Confidential" • President Johnston said he would make sure all Councillors receive a copy of the full report. Submissions during the "public comment per:iod" would be to the Reg:ional Planning Committee: the DPUD was " •••• quite happy to - have Council reserve the right to make a submiss:ion." Mr Driscoll said DPUD would like to receive a letter advising that the study can go ahead, or reasons why not and he " •••• acknowledged the fact that there have been · problems in the past."

The Surveyor mentioned the possibility of Council considering the formal documentation of a levy on future large developments including subdivisions, which may impose an impact on the Broome community and general services. It will be used for civic and cultural works as determined by Council, and a formal document would eliminate the possibility of misunderstandings between developers and Council.

THE SUBDIVISION OF LOT 1048/2: The DPUD has consid~ed the application to subdivide Lot 1048/2. It has been refused for several reasons. The first is that it is inconsistent with the ' Rural' zoning w hos.e principle purpose is to preserve its rural use and develop:.. ment density. "The sub-division, if permitted would result in an unbalanced breakdown of land holdings. · 2. The Commission' s Rural Landuse Planning Policy requires Councils to prepare a local Rural Strategy to comprehensively plan for change and development in rural areas ••••• 3. Approval to the subdivision would create an undesirable precedent for the future sub-divisions of other Lots of a similar size in the Rural Zone of this locality. 4. The proposed subdivision would result in Lot sizes ge'1erally found in a "Special Rural Zone" • . In the absence of appropriate controls and provisions under the prevailing Town · Planning Scheme the fragmentation of rural land in such a manner · is not, supported. " The DPUD a~vised the applicant to liase with Council about having the land rezoned ' Special Rural' under the appropriate Towr. Planning Scheme. ---- -RESORT SOLUTIONS: This 'Company wrote . to Council on 17th May .regarding it;s propo5ed Resort.

Council agreed to refer the request _to DOLA for an urgent suggestion, and details of approximate costs involved. In . a second letter, on 28th May, Resort Solutions wrote regarding a meeting with the EPA, which was concerned that the proposal has environmental consideration which would require investigations that could extend. to 18 months. The letter expressed surprise that until the EPA recieved Resort Solutions' submissions the week before " ••••• the EPA had oo knowledge of our proposal". The · Company suggested that the EPA, Council, DOLA and themselves "review the position and jointly agree on strategy. I need to have a definite confirmation · that once the environmental Roads, where they intersect with Manari Road: 3. a "Do Not Disturb - By Order, Shire Clerk" sign at the vicinity of the · forest: and 4. discussioo be held with the Higgins family regarding the all weather access road to Willie Creek, further action being dependent upon the outcome of negotiations.

The Council " •••• will not entertain any further compact lot development until the 29 lot project currently under construction has been in place, and all homes lived in for ·12 mQnths, · and a Study Report presented to Council." ENTRANCE TO BROOME: The Main Roads Department wrote to Council rn 14th , May regarding improvements to the road verges of Broome Road, near the town: "The "bland" entrance to Broome from -the east is an unfortunate result of the presence of the tidal flats. OUr adice from CALM is that neither planting of palms nor native species in this environment is likely to be successful. Further east away from the tidal flats, there may be scope for isolated planting in ·denuded areas. For compatibility with existing flora,. natlve species should be used. This work will be given closer consideration later· this year ••••• Broome road verges are . mowed annually ••• •·• The next mowing is scheduled for June 1990.

It . believed that a valid objection to the development and subsequent re-zoning could. .not have been sustained the following rea· son: . At the auction on 5/12/8.7, the 500 people tor pre;;ent were informed tha t Lots 2i06, 2107 and 2109 were suitable for medium density ·and that Council had agreed on application to rezone the Lots to a maximum residential code of R50. · bn the matter of a carpark on an area near Chinatown '! •••• the Scheme provides that car _parks are a prohibited use."

" A third letter ("Copy attached") was recorded in the Mit)utes for 1st June. At the Meeting Council agreed: " (a) That all land being considered for the Resort and Harbour be treated as one land parcel, for· the purpose of evaluation by the EPA. ( b) The timing of this arrangement will supercede previous agreements whereby the resort village will be developed separately, .commencing construction by August 1990. ( c) For the purpose of proceeding with · the resort village, and the resort hotel, and subject to EPA approval for foreshore redevelopment and stabilisation, the project developers agree to proceed with the construction of the resort and resort village before full approval of the harbour is received from EPA. (d) To secure for the developers, all foreshore land between the Resort boundary and the harbour; and that land be vested with the Broome Council, with an agreement to be put in pl.Bee with the developers to manage all the land for and on behalf of Council, with special leasing rights in favour of the project developer for foreshore facilities. ( e) The boundary of the Resort is currently located midway up t[le established sand dune. To permit a rational restructuring of the site proposed for the Resort Hotel and the foreshore, DOLA and Council agree to permit sufficient land to be made available from .the foreshore relocation of land to 'be vested in the Broome Shire, to permit a proper engineering and environmental solution to be achieved. " The EPA has set the level of assessmen t at "Public Environmental Review" which recognise the proponent to interact with it, to identify potential environmental impacts and submit plans for their management. The EPA assesses the proposal and reports to the Minister with a oopy bemg sent to the Shire. The proposal.. cannot go ahead until the Minister has authorised it. LOLLIPOP.

On the 'verge' of despair Condoms It seems to me that the Broome Shire · Council has its priorities askew. All I see · happening in . Broome are new · verges and roadworks everywhere. I do not see any signs of a community ·c entre or better facilities for our playgroup or indeed facilities for small children and families anywhere. If · it were not for the beaches Broome has very few places for me to take my young children and over the Jong wet season I find life cJose to unbearable. I realise that the Shire Council receives a kit ·of . criticism, not all of it justified, but they rould do more to show me that they are ·ooncerned about the lifesty le of Broomeresidents. I congratulate the Broome News on the role it plays in communicating the Shire's activities to us. Perhaps better communication with the community oould help the Shire's public perception. Facts and figures about the problems of life within isolated communities are bandied around every where: when will we see proof from the Shire that they are aware of these difficulties? . Untidy roadsides I can live with. I recently returned to Broome after spending 18 months in Boston U.S.A. · There was a Jot to compare, and Broome came out best in terms of quality of life - by light years. we do lag behind in one area, that is the availability of condom machines in public places. I was disappointed so few have been installed, despite many years of approaches to pubs and restaurants. Condom machines are now located in a wide range of gathering places in the United States, in railway stations, public toilets and the rest rooms of the most exclusive hotels and restaurants. (Americans do not go to "the toilet". They visit the "bathroom" or the "restroom"! ) Even the most exclusive. establishments have installed oondom machines. In fact, it is considered in poor taste and old fashioned not to. · I believe some of Broome's "exclusive" establishments think condom machines Jower their "tone". This v;Lew is quite out of step with international tourist practice. Most people in the U.S.A. expec~ condom machines to be available as a service.

A wide variety of events and activities will be held during the 10 days of the festival, to be held from the 10th to 19th August. Shinju Matsuri was first held in 1970 by the Jaycees Club as a means of encouraging community spirit and to keep alive the romance of the pearling industry which first bought world att~ntion to the cosmopolitantown of Broome. Since that time the festival has become one of the best known festivals in Western Australia and attracts several thousands of visitors. Some of the features of this year's festival include a Broome Cultural Afternoon at the World's oldest operating picture theatre gardens, Sun Pictures. This is being coordinated by Magabala Books, Australia's only Aboriginal publishing house which is based in Broome. The local Aboriginal Arts and Crafts group, Goolarabooloo, will be staging a boab nut display in conjunction with the Pearl Jewellery Design Awards · Exhibition, which is recognised as a symbol of excellence in jewellery circles. Designers and jewellers are invited to submit entries in a variety of categories utilising Australian ·p earls and diamonds. The festival coincides with a visit by Western Australia's leading contemporary dance group 2 Dance Plus who will also be performing during the festival. One of the highlights of this year's Shinju Matsuri will be the staging of Japanese Bon Festival activities. The Bon Festival was an integral part of Shinju Matsuri in it's early years. Ceremonies will include a lantern lighting at the Japanese cemetery., Japanese dancing performed by Broome school children and a charming ceremony at a local beach at which small floats will be released into the waters containing offerings to t .h e spirits. The Chung Wah Association Lion and Dragon Dance Troupe will perform traditional Chinese dances at a variety of venues including one of the two mardi gras, official opening of the festival and the Coronation Ball, at which the crowning of the 1990 Shinju Queen will be perfo;r-med. 0 0 The Broome Musiciar; ( BMAC) will stage a musicians, local far specialities at 'A T< and there will be dancing.

ALI TORRES. �Exploration Licences A MORE STREAMLINED PROCESS FOR ASSESSING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF MINERALS EXPLORATION IN SENSITIVE AREAS HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTEC'l'ION AUTHORITY. The new process is outlined in a report released by the Minister for the Environment, Mr Pearce. EPA chairman Barry Carbon said applications . to search for minerals could be exad ministrative pedited through a better process suggested by the EPA. Under the present system, the . EPA required companies to produce detailed exploration programmes for environmental impact assessment. "But in many cases, the first phase of an exploration programme is not an environmental issue because ground disturbance is . negligible and companies usually do not know whether they will continue exploring until. they .have the results of the initial search," Mr ·carbon said. ". As a result, it is often a waste of time, money and effort on the part of people concerned about particular proposals and on the part of the companies to produce an explorati.On programme that might rot eventuate." To overcome this problem , the EPA had · recommended that first-phase exploration programmes in environmentally sensitive areas be limited to "non-ground disturbing" activities such as the use ·of four-wheeldrive vehicles on existing tracks; the use of hand-held equipment for taking samples; · arid ·to removing samples up . to a maximum of "Environmental impact becomes an issue only after .t he initial searc h when companies might want to investigate further through the use of heavy machinery, " Mr Carbon said. "That is when the EPA would require com· prehensive management and rehabilitati01 commitments from companies or when it would decide the area was too fragile to be dis· turbed." The EPA' s suggestions are contained ii a report which recommends that Terre> Resources NL be allowed to search for heavy • mineral sands between Coulomb Point and Willie Creek, north of Broome. Because of the area's environmental sensitivity, the· EPA recommended that first phase exploration be limited to non-ground disturbing activity and that further exploration be assessed for · its environmental im-· pact when appropriate. Other recommendations cover;i.ng the Terrex proposal include a ban on exploration or mining within vine thickets and coastal dunes of the Dampier Peninsula and a requirement that the company consult Aborigines in the area to prevent damage · to sacred sites. Copies of the EPA's report are available fro·m EPA offices in Perth, Bunbury and Karratha. There is also a copy at the Broome New s Office, Damoier Terr.ace.

"The rebate will be payable to new home buyers who start oonstruction . of their home within nine months of purchasing the Homeswest land. "This will ensure that there ' is a rapid flow on in benefit to the building industry w hi1e land speculators do not profit from the scheme. "Initially, cash incentiv:es will be paid to new home buyers constructing homes in Cooloongup, Parmelia, Armadale, Man.d urah and Broome. "The scheme will be administered by Homeswest ' and regularly reviewed to take into account the state of the market.

Go AT NEW MOON, AS THE . MIDNIGHT HOUR PASSED, TWO HOUSESHAREERS STROLLED THE DISTANCE HOME ' FROM A FRIEND. 'S. It was a route they'd used to get to where they'd just left. From their backyard, across the road, · there's the length of the I Broome Cemetery, another , road to cross and their friend's frontya:td. On the way he' d oom mented that it was very quiet and she' d referred · to their own noise as they chatt;:ered along. And that was before dark. Now, they padded there . way back through the soft .sand as they kept their eyes on the track so as to not lose their ' fuoting in .the night. The dappled streetlight blended. with their memory pictures of the way there. And the chatter rained quietly down, interspersed with oom ments like - ' Track goes this way now. ' Then he · said, "I'd hate to fall into a waiting hole, · oh I couldn't stand that!" She could only say that she'd never thought of it in terms of it " happening to her. He went on, "I've got it all worked out •.• 40 miles rut to sea and ·with double your weight, your body goes down, and that's it - food for the little fishes." After a pause her voice spoke out, "Drowning' s supposed to be a nice way to go." "Drown ding, drownding, " he floundered, "A nice way to go?" She explained, "Well if you've panicked and you' re scared it can't be too · good but other ways hurt more, like fire or . car crash. And anyway, you kn0w, people who very nearly drowned but not quite, reckon a glorious feelirig comes over you and you want to flow with it, but obviously something called them back to life." It was his turn now, "Oh I've never thought about that; ~ying in all different ways, like that." They were quiet for a while sharing their thoughts in the presence of living trees, ageless stars and rested souls. By row they were just about through the Japanese Divers' Section as he began to talk about a few times he'd nearly drowned at Swanbourne Beach. "Have you ever swum at Swanbourne Beach?" he asked. "No, I never have." she replied as they crossed Port Dri ve. They arrived back at the house they shared at ease after their ClOmmunion in the comfortable warmth of the nignt. "Good-night," they said as they went th¢.r separate ways to the worl d of sleep.

"Everybody is born with a beautiful voice," Chris sa:ld. "They are ·all in tune at their own particular pitch. " He believes that it is natural to sing as a means of expressing love, grief, · sorrow and ecstasy. That it is possible to get · a delicate xesonance through the whole body, rather than just from the throat, which is w~e;re most people sing from. Singing can aid stress release and act with a healing power. For exa~ple, a gJOd long vowel sound straight into the stomach . eases pregnancy cramps. The underlying faith that Chris James has is ••• "That we are heading .towards a time when human beings will all understand that life · is incredibly beautiful and that to h~ve a human body is an incredible gill and it · takes so little to maximise."

He was born at approx. 3am on 11th July, · 1990 weighing appro x . 5 kilos and is the first Pygm y Hippo to be born at Pearl Coast Zoological Gardens. The parents, Diana and Congo are on breeding loan from the Melbourne Zoo. The. !JlOther has had three calves in the past but has not reared any of her offspring. It was apparent over night that although she has been a very attentive mother she would not allow it to suckle. T'he baby was removed from the mother for hand~rearing, as it was in a weakened condition. Pygmy Hippos have a reputation for being difficult to hand-rear in the beginning; a+though cnce on a bottle they generally do quite well. •• .pygmy Hippos have been ruthlessly hunted in their native environments in the tropical jungles of West Africa, and the preservation of this species lies in captive breeding programmes initiated by zoos around the · world. As the first forty hours are critical the young Hippo will be kept off exhibit until the danger period has passed; if all goes well he will go on display a few hours each day between 10am-12pm in the morning and 2pm-4pm in the afternoon. ?ther animals born recently are Hog Deer, Nil.gai, Red Lechwe and Sitatunga Antelope.

Not only do we have to contend with the aroma tl)at lingers through most of · Broome during this time but we also have to deal with the many cattle trucks that seem to think of Dora Street as their own private freeway and parking lot. We realize that the meatworks was established In this area wel I before it became reslderilial but as it is now a built . up area It seems rather surprising that an alternative route for these cattle trucks has not been considered untl I recently by the shire and main roads department. Arriving home on several occasions after a trip to the shops I was amazed to find parked. at the front a cattle truck blocking the entry to my drive. After being In this situation more than once I decided to phone the Shire. A member of the Shire then preceded to tel I me about the opening of Clements Street which Is supposedly the new road to be used by the trucks instead of Dora Street. It was also said that on completion that all the truck drivers would be notified accordingly . However months later the trucks were stl 11 using Dora . Street so I again rang the Shire to find out If the new road was completed, to be told aIthough the road wasn't sea Ied a 11 the dr Ivers had been notified for Its use and now It was up to the ' drivers, it wasn't their problem anymore. The photograph was taken the day I finally made a quick call to the police.· A constable came to answer the questions we had been asking for the past months on the truckles rights of using Dora Street as a tru_ c bay. To the constable we say thankyou. It would be great for the people on this street If they were not annoyed by the cattle trucks next season. We have our fingers crossed . N.

I was pleased to note on my recent trip to Broome a fence has been erected to direct vehicles to the beach causing tt)e least amount of harm. The fence Is aesthetically pleasing and was erected by Kevin Woodcock who stood upon his word, " ... Coastal management Is important for the continued qual lty of my life. So whatev.er It takes, I can help. If money is a problem, I can help. If labour is a problem, I can !lelp. Whatever the problem facing the organisation and responsible ecological management of our coastal heritage, whatever It Is that Is , hindering the continued caretaklng of the land for which we are custodians, I can contrlbyte to the solution of these problems". ,It is refreshing to see that some people can stand by the'lr word.

I take it that the unwritten rule Is "North-nude, I say unwritten. because I am yet south - clothed". to see a s ign stating so. My usual entry is into the car park then down the steps. Not a sign to be seen. I have also been made aware by recent letters to your Editorial page that there is a feeling of people not abiding by this rul e. The offenders were said to be females who take their bather tops off. Is this classified as being nude? Where do you draw the line? In a time of equal rights for all - blacks, whites, male and ' female - I find It hard to believe that people still hold the out-of-dated view that a females breast Is rude or offensive.

Have you ever been so angry you could smash something? I have. It's not a pleasant f ee ll n9. As a teenager In Sydney in the '60' s I was angry and dest- ructlve. Preoccupation with · the grinding poverty and despair of my much loved parents, s isters and brothers made life and school Incomprehensible. Fortunately my parents and I were met with practical help and concern. No one called me a vandal , No one said my actions were malicious or outrageous. Thank God no one pointed accusingly at my parents. I shudder to think how that would have affected us. I ,was seen as a child screaming for help, with unfulfilled needs and soul destroying frustrations . We In Broome, missed the boat this time, but next t ime that any of our children yel I tor help, I hope we respond wltfi more maturity and resourc etulness . Three disturbed youngsters have been sent away, but the community dynamics which caused their anger, remain. Margaret Cook CABLE BEACH AGAIN In a much needed respon~:,;e to a letter In the last ed1t I on of the Broome Ne\Ns t i t l e d 'Crime .and Punishment·' by Chris Blgnel I. felt that this person needed to be enlightened about the comments printed of the nudist side of Cable Beach. I knew the man Involved in last year's brutal rape attacks as indeed did quite a few Broome res idents but, being a daily beach goer I never once saw this man on the nudist side . On the contrary I did see him a number of times on the bather side of the beach, so I'm quite surprised that you are suggesting that he started his "career" as a rapist on the nudist side when quite obviously you are jumping to conclusions. The Nudist beach is one of the main touri st attractions in Broome and you would probably be surprised who you happen to ineet there. Being In Broome now for s ix years , I can say I have met and made friends with some very Interesting people on the nudist side. For example I have met a retired Judge, a Canadian lawyer plus his crippled ' wife, university students 'and I even met ' two pol Ice women from Adelaide who were hol ldaylng here for two weeks. But I must confess CONTINUED OVER 'SAY IT YOURSELF' IN THE BROOME NEWS ' I �[ETTERS CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE I have never met any perverts although I'm sur~ there may have been some present. J also don't think vou have the right to use Goq wrath on the counci I member.s In pressuring them to close down nudist cable beach in saying and I quote - that while It exists "God wi 11 Judge these councl 1lors" who al low It to be there. What sort of Christian would use God's name In this rediculous. manner for ones own gain is beyond me·, certainly none of the Christians I know. . I cpuld go on . In quite lengthy detal I on this Issue but I m sure it's not worth the effort but can any one tell me the answer to this question - Old Adam and Eve have , clothes when they were first put on this world as ·the Bible tells? I'm sure we al I know the answer, so may I suggest to all anti nudist beach supporters In this town to perhaps go down to the beach and take off your clothes Just once.

Regarding Taill's request that the Broome Shire write to the Minister for Fisheries .In support of the Japanese taking whales ·for home consumption, the Shire received a letter from the Minister on October 31. While stating his support for the sister town relationships, the Minister was most · definite about the Whales being saved: "Australia is against whaling and this Is manifested In the Australian Whales Protection Act of 1980". TREES FOF~ CABLE BEACH The Shire Engineer reported that the State Plannlnq Commission has given · Broome a . grant of $5,000. The money will be used for stock-proof fencing on Cable Beach, south from the steps along the foreThe Government Nursery wl 11 supply trees dunes. to be planted . along , the fence, as a source of shade as wel as to strengthen the stab I I ity of the dunes. Several Ct>U()Ci 1lors were concerned that the plants would be at risk from eager gardeners, who mlqht dig them up. However, local people can always obtain their own from the Nursery If they'd like a similar plant for their gardens. Besides, the sand dunes need all the protection they can get. Here's hoping that the planting programme, . which Is to be completed in the near future, wil I result in a I lne of well estab1lshed trees before next ShlnJu. BIG_ BOTTLES TO STAY After much discussion, and letters from · locals both for and against the idea, Councl I has decided to abandon the banning of large beer bottles. ANOTHER . ROADHOUSE? Councl I received a letter from the Department of Land Administration asking for their opinion on the establishment of another roadhouse 62kms on the Broome side of Sandflre. There was a lengthy debate about whether there was a need tor such a venture. While their reasons varied, mostly the Councll lors aqreed that the site was too close to .. the existing roadho1,.1se and would offer unreasonable competition to Sandflre. The ·62kms distance Is too close for a competitor, gives an Idea of the hugeness of this countrv'. and the vast distances which people travel to reach Broome by road. Al I the more reason for everyone In Broome to make an effort to · keep our town worthy of a visit. November's Ord I narv Meet I no of Broome Sh ·I r·e Counc I I on Tuesday November 1-s vvas attended bv a Qroup of TAFE students. Their tutor, Mrs Robin Hanlqan , had brouqt1t them along to observe a formal meeting In progress. fhe meeting was an · interesting one, covering a broad spectrum of the Council's concerns and a varletv .of Councl II ors opinions, which are not at al I predlcatable. MEETING WITH MINISTER A Special Meeting · of the Counci I Iors was held on November 3 with the Minister for the North West and . AboriQinal Affairs, Mr rrnle Bridge. The Minister sooke of his proposal to cncouraQe more local government participation in Aboriginal Affa'ks within the local municipality. He suggested that , Council nominate a Councillor to act · as a liaision officer. arid sit on a local Departmental Committee. Such a Person could help towards tt1e realisation of another of the Minister's ideals. fhis was: "that each and every deveioPm~nt Into which funds were Injected by the Government sh0uld be beneficial to the whole community". If Councillors and members of local Aborioinal . Communities had · a forum where their representatives could ex.chanoe ideas and· plans. each qrouo would learn more about the perspeclivP,s of the others. The different grouos could then combine in their efforts to obtain grants for projects which did have a . wides~read community support. BROOME MUSICIANS The Tourism Committee discussed a letter from t~1e Broome Musicians Aboriginal Corporation, received on October 21 . The Corporation . has acc:epted the Council's offer of the ass istance of the Shire's Architect lo help with their building pl ans.

The Aids virus first affected people In the countryside in central Africa; probably in the 1950's. By the 1970's it had become an epidemic affecting equal numbers of men and women and a I arge number of children who contracted Aids In the · womb, from their mothers. fhe Aids virus spread from Africa to the Carribbean then to North America. In America It mostly spread in the homosexual community and amongst drug addicts who shared needles. Many people also caught the Aids virus from transfusions of blood donated by people who carry Aids. It was brought to Australia by tourists between countries. It has spread to Darwin and Perth from the Eastern States and possibly further already. HOW QUICKLY DOES AIDS SPREAD By .June 1986, 25,000 cases of people dying from the Aids virus reported. By 1991 there wl 11 be at least 300,000 cases of , people dyirig from Aids and at least five mi I I Ion people wl 11 carry the virus. In 19~1. 54,000 people wl 11 die of Aids in the USA that year.

Part two of this article Is concerned with the legal aspects of drink driving offences, for which I would I ike to thank Sgt John Grey: Broome · Pol Ice, Frank Martin A.LS. and Michael King L.A.C. for giving their assistance. CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE we exceed '0.08' and od our heads wjsely when someone says they were charged for 0.15 - but do we really know what It means? . What Is actually being given Is a percentage of how many grammes of alcohol there are -in a millilitre of blood. · How does .the amount of alcohol in blood tie in with breathing into a bag or machine? Alcohol is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and then As a result alcohol distributed throughout t.he body. passes into urine, perspiration and the air we breathe out. Many factors affect the blood alcohol level and also people's performance whi 1st drun~. and we need to get a perspective on those. Firstly, and the most obvious is the amount con'sumed, the body can only break down one standard drink per hour, le one can of beer, one nip of ·spirits - the. excess circulates ·In the bloodstream unti I the I Iver can break ii down. Secondly, the rate · of absorption Is slowed when the person has eaten a substantial meal prior to drinking. Thirdly, the rate of . absorption v~rles considerably depe11ding on the age, sex and body weight of the drinker. Compare the young teenage drinker with im overweight middle aged drinker, they may, drink the same amount but the effects wi 11 be far more noticeable in the young drinker. Factors which Influence individual reactions can be situation, mood, reason for drinking and attitude, drinking experience are two forms of tolerance which require further Information. TISSUE TOLERANCE Prolonged regular intake of alcohol results in tissue resi stance - what Is meant by thll> is that the nerve centres constantly try to compensate for the depressant effects of alcohol; in time more and more alcohol We can is needed to achieve the original etfect. al I think of someone we know who may consume large amounts and yet not show signs of drunkenn~ss . • in part his body has learnt to offset the effects of alcohol. PSYCHOLOGICAL. TOLERANCE fhis form of tolerance Is a learning rather than a physical change. The drinker learns to compensate for the effects of alcohol in the same way a sailor learns to walk across the deck of a rol I Ing ship. He knows · what happens to his body and behaviour when drinking and has learnt how to control It. Despite the fact he looks and acts sober does not mean he is any more capable .-Of ski I led performance le driving a car, than would be a young Inexperienced drinker who Is Intoxicated.

Probably ... but the Annual General Meeting · of the Shinju Matsurl Committee held on NQvember 14 .Produced some positive results for the future festival. ShlnJu Matsurl 1986 President Phll Wall delivered his report to an audience of thirteen that Included many of this vear's committee members. It began: "The 1986 ShlnJu Matsurl was very successful, being enjoyed by thousands of local residents and visitors. The credit for this success must go to the very ha~d working ShlnJu Matsyri Committee. I would I Ike at this point to official iy register my thanks and congratulations to these people. I attended my first Shlnju Committee meeting one evening late lf1 March - the committee had been formed and operating under Vice Presidents Brett Al I Ison and Bob Nunn for four or five months. I was immediately voted in as President with very I lttle discussion or debate. It was at this point that I first had an inkl Ing of what was before me. 11 Phil Wall went on to personally thank most of the 1986 Committee, the sponsors, Murray Strachan, and his family for their support. "Once again It was a top effort". Anne Sandler had Next came the treasurers report. volunteered to take the position "only until another Now treasurer was found" at the 1985 ShlnJu AGM. a year later she was del Iver Ing her second report It was good news: the festival was again in a row. in the bl.ack. The General Business disc~ssion centred on a proposal by ·Brett Al I Ison that the Secretary's and Treasurer's pdrtfolio be brought under the pay roll of the Tourist Bureau and that the Bureau would be responsible for all accounts and General Secretary's duties. After some discussion the matter was left open for further discussion between the incoming President and Brett All Ison. Then It was time for the crunch. The all important election of a new President and committee. Phi I Wal 11 declared the position of President for ShlnJu Matsuri open and a heavy silence descended on those assembled. Veterans of the festlv1> 1 pondered on the enormous responslbi I lty and time commitments Involved. There were no nominations. Time passed. The history of ShlnJu Matsuri is riddled with moments such as these. Precious days, weeks and even months have passed before volunteer has stepped forward prompting media speculation on the "Death of ShlnJu". Phil Wall citing the modesty factor asked If anyone was prepared to nominate themselves. Again sidelong glances criss-crossed the room. More time passed. Then as the situation was looking bleak attention a focused on a rather distinguished looking chap sitting in the back row. The question was asked by a neighbor. A full five seconds passed and 'the man still hadn't registered a firm and emphatic denial. In ShinJu Matsuri terms that Is an eternity. Across the room the unspoken consensus was "we've got a live one". "Well" . said the man,· "I . do have some experience ... " but the rest was drowned out In a general sigh of rel let and scattered applause that bul It to a crescendo. In I lttle more than · a minute the man finished descrlblng his qua I lflcatlons from the President's chair. It was then that a hand· rose in the audience to ask: "Excuse me, but what Is your name"? Detai Is, detai Is, details. The President of ShinJu Matsuri 1987 is .Mr Richard Blundel I and as the meeting progressed It became clear that a very capable and competent individual had miraculously dropped out of the sky to steer next year's festival. Richard Blundel I is originally from North Queensland and has worked with TAA and British Airways in both Australia and FIJI. Since 1976 he has been , in the Hotel industry and is currently the manager of the new Roebuck Bay Resort. · Richard came · to the ShinJu Matsuri AGM intending only to "get involved and perhaps sit on a committee". THE NEW SHINJU Pf}ESIDENT. MR R.ICHARD BLUNDELL Now as ShinJu President he sees his main goal to eliminate apathy and involve the community in tl)e festival. Part of this strategy Is to keep the main ShlnJu events like the Pearl Queen Quest, the Opening Ball and the parade, but to be wi 11 Ing to experiment with new ideas; not to be bound to tradition for the sake of tradition. . Given these statements it's Important that members of the Broome community come forward with Ideas ·and maybe .even offers of help now while it's still early days. · 'The enormous responslbllltles and time commitments required to · make the ·festival work can b.e greatly reduced If many become - involved Instead of Just a few. Let's face It, the whole town benefits and It can be a whole heap of fun. Get involved a I lttle or a lot, any and al I help will be appreciated.

It was far from new but still of strong build and although the bottom ·was covered in marks from being scraped over rocks the boat was leak proof. Now Jim was a bloke who had tried different things - some which had turned out to be better for him than others:' He'd blundered down undesirable tracks at times and could well have got bogged tf1ere hadn't lie found the old kayak that day. , Straight away his mates viewed it with interest and one of his more creative ones crafted him a paddle and helped him attach a fin which was essential for travelling in a ·straight line. Jim's first torays in the kayak were awkward and often resulted in capsizes, usually when running into rocks or traversing the shore breakers. They were· I imited to nervous excursions close to shore on calm days. · But they were sufficient to have Jim enthralled by a new world, a world he visited in an unobtrusive way that kindled forgotten instincts. In the kayak 11e could glide clear of modern society to join the fish, dolphins. dugongs and turtles on a similiar basis. A.nd each time he ventured out the tiny craft became more an extension of his body. A powerful vehicle becoming more stable in less sheltered waters as 11e - the I iving µower source w~s programmed to maintain stab i I i ty. In Jim's ot11er world - the cruel hard one, he worked for ti is I iving and strived to maintain stab I I lty · and tranquility at home . In a society dominated by materialism and economics his instincts were lo insist on a fair go for al I concerned . But as with al I mankind his other instincts were many. The rekindling ot ancient ones when in . the kayak served to quicken t1is period Of learning as he suddenly became addicted to escapes through the window of time into a dimension where any form of life mus t perform well if it is to survive. Where threats against survival came from large ominous fins and the sea itself rather than from the whims of other men. Jim soon came to prefer his odds on the water espec, lally when he discovered that this . siee_k silent cratt could provide .a . valuable sour,ce _of... food. From__the . shelter of the bays and the security · of P.addllng during neap tides Jim began rounding the headlands to cut through the breakers and take on the sw i r I i ng Gurrents of the spring tides. , I <_. -~~ ~ . /~ devised a method ' of troll. In~ He a handline althougl1 the first fish he caught were small and taken close to shore. One afternoon however that all changed. Jim was paddling into the sun as it set over the rich tropical waters near his home. He skimmed over glassy water that reflected the light like ,a huge min::.or rippling in the gentle breeze. Riding over green backed swells he tried to maintain focus on a school of tuna leaping and splashing among the blinding beams of I lght about half a kl lometre away. Towards deeper water he glided past a vellow and black seasnake as thick as a man's wrist writhing on the surface as it caught the last warm· ravs of the sun. Then a larg.e green turtle drifting along snorted and hissed as it lifted its head clear of the water for a breath. Suddenly It sensed the paddler and charged into the depths in a panic, leaving a larae swirl to mark the spot. A seven metre tide was running and an area to turbulance dlstioctly marked . a strong current racing along a deep channel. Here clear blue oceanic water met the fooq rich currents draining off from the vast mud flats of a large shallow bav. Small · whirlpools rose to the surface forcing up· pulsating iellvfish. pieces of seaweed and debris. Jim skimmed across the surface with a lure on a heavy handl-ine trailing about 25 metres behind him. The I ine vibrated as the lure wobbled through the water like a small fish. As he glided towards the school of tuna his heartbeat quickened, the butterflies in his ·stomach ·and the pumping blood were simi liar to old experiences on the sporting field. But here the only screams came from the wheel Ina sea birds and h Is quest was for food. The tuna were northern bluefln, averaalna around six kl los, they drove srnal I baitfish to .the surface in a tight group where they feasted amid a frantic display of boiling water and screaming, dlvina ·birds. ', Occasionally the baitflsh escaped t_he. school of hungry tuna for a moment and the spectacu lar surface display stopped. As the tuna relentlesslv tried to herd the baitfish back Into a tignt group the terns and gulls fluttered over the water with keen eves 27 and swift wings marking the flshs' path. When Jim was only a few metres awav from the tuna their features became dazz•ingly clear to him. They charged around as gllstenlni:i torpedo shaoes with their flanks ·ranging In colour from blueish si Iver to gold depending on how they caught the light; Some cartwheeled Into the"-· air with such · speed that thev splashed back into the water· upside down: .

He accelerated off In a straight line causing the wobbling lure to be dragged into the centre of the mayhem. A strike came as soon as the lure entered the circular area of feeding fish. The I ine Jerked tight · and he turned to see a splash, a flash then a blurr of hlt1P.ish silver as a hooked fish ·took off sideways across the surface dragging the 'kayak to a halt. · Jim struggled to maintain balance and grip the hand·caster but suddenly it became wedged between his leg and the side of the kayak. · He was dragged sideways violently causin~ a surge of water .to swell up along one side .making him lean hard In the oooositA direction to maintain balance. In a moment of terror the line drew so tight something had to give fess the kayak be dragged over. Jim was reprieved when the hooks straightened under the strain and the fish won its freedom. - With arms like jelly he pulled in the limp line to Inspect the distorted hoo~s. Meanwhile the tuna were again breakina the surfRr:p, about 50 metres away with eirds · In frantic oursuit. Jim swung the kayak around and followed · their lead ignoring his 'fatigue and fncreaslng distance from shore He tied but carefully considering what had happened. on another lure and again began feeding line out the back as · .he gently stroked towards tile fish. If he was to land one of the tuna he realised that once hooked, a fish must be al lowed to run as it made Its first powerful dashes. He realised that by clamping the spool of line between his ' knees he could grab it from underneath once a fish struck, thus preventing It ' from getting wedged again. If he then held it open ft1ced towards the hooked fish he could surrender I ine by allowing it to peel off the spool. As he paddled towards the school he practised the movement, making a clean. swift grab for the spool as a gunfighter might when reaching tor a holstered pistol. · In a few moments he was again skirting around the edge of the school. As he trailed the lure through them there was ·another sharp tug on the . line. Jim drove forward· with a few extra strol<.es · from the paddle to ensure a hookup then snatched the spool up In the practised grip. For a moment the fish stalled giving I ittle resistance as Jim waited with the spool in hand and heart poundThen in an Instant the fish peeled off most of ing. the I ine on the spool. When It finally slowed he gripped the paddle under one elbow and used both hands to maintain pressure on the I ine as the fish bored along deep down. Cautiously he began to wind I lne back onto the reel dragging the kayak through the water as much as it moved the fish, but at least giving h~m more I ine on the reel. But the fish again charged off ripping out more fine, then running sideways against Jim's increased pressure. There was around 80 .metres of line out and In seconds it sprinted across an arc of 180 degrees. It was a scorching run, but after It, the fish again paused and .Jim quickly wound In line. · He held on as· the tuna broke the surface about . 40 metres away and ran in yet anoth!1r arc pul I Ing the tiny craft around ,29 '. as it bobbed and heaved in the turbulent water marking the rip. It sent spray flying as the setting sun mirrored its striking markings. All the time Jim worked to maintain t1is balance and nerve, intently control! ing the line lest he catch a speeding loop around a hand or finger as he wound in onto the reel and it again sped away. On one ·run the fish fo I Iowed a course about 1O metres In front of the kay,ak and Just below the surface. Jim held the I ine firm and . the kayak bounced •over the wave crests under· tow. He took some deep breaths to settle himself, gazing for a moment at the beach which was now over •a kilornetre away. He realised the fish, the current and a now freshening breeze had been quickly dragging him further out to sea. With the sun just above the horizon the tiring fish began circling close under the kayak. The I ine speeding through the water collected a jel lyflsh that was suspended in · the . current. It was dragged around with fts body distorted · and Its tentacles trailing helplessly. Slowly and gently Jim gained the last few metres of line with the fish clearly visible in . the clean offshore water. · / He noticed a rusty trial of t>lood corning f(om the hook in the comer of the fish's mouth and at that point the prospect of another predator arriving on the scene became very real. Jim began acting with more urgency though he dare not pu 11 such a' f Ish into the confined space of his craft that was not -al I but dead. A few nervous moments later however the fish's life of constant motion ceased as It began sinking tall first. Into the clear water with the rusty trail coming taster from its mouth like smoke from i:tn expired missile. With a minimum of fuss Jim ·pulled in the last few metres of I lne, grasped the tuna by the butt of the tai I and slid it head first into a hession bag In the compartment between his legs. T11e wedge ot muscle almost' filled the cockpit and Jim began paddling for shore with the fish's powerful tall poking out beside him. The last few pumps of th~ tall were enough to shove him roughly sideways. Jim however was oblivious as he confidently paddled . through the light chop towards shore. He thought of ·his own fate If he ever capsized and was -- faced with a swim through the raging rip. The risk was always there and he knew his own judgement ·was his greatest safety asset. He also drew quiet strength fr.om a love of the sea and a deep respect for nature and the wi ldemess. Back on shore he cleaned the fish in the shallows and paused for a moment as the last traces of the sun sank Into the ocean like an Inferno on the watery It seemed to slz,::le and bubble as it sank horizon. out of sight . for another day. · Jim sl Id the cleaned fish Into the damp hesslon bag and his mouth watered when · he thought how It would taste after being cut Into thin slices, marinated then barbequed on a hot plate. And as he I lfted his craft onto his shoulders and heade~ up the beach he was grateful for his visit to a dimension void of the corrupt standards of society and known to the human race since ancient times.

I I tera I I y hundreds of Aboriginal artists from al I over the KI mber I ey have had the opportun I t y for the Ir vvorks. vvhether 1 tr ad It Iona I or contemporary In style. to be purchased. d I sp I ayed and so Id by an organ I zat I on contro 11 ed entlrelY by Aboriginal people. The whole concept was Initiated by Paddy Roe who, after sel I Ing artifacts for many years from his own home, wanted to see a shop established In the business district · of town. With support from the Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre, a smal I shop was leased near the corner of Napier 4nd Dampier Terraces. This store soon became the central distribution point for much of the art from •throughout the Kimberley that people were not able to sell themselves . locally. With the greater ease artists now enjoyed In ma·rketlng their work, combined with the pbllcy of paying realistic and consistent prices on the spot, there was a rapid Increase In the amount of arts and crafts being produced. Our smal I shop soon became so ful I of stock that a move to larger premises became essential. After undertaking consld.erable renovations, we eventually moved Into '· what originally was a large steel shed previously used as a car showroom adjacent to the BP service station in Hammersley Street. The new premises (pictured) proudly display the black, red and gold colours of the Aboriginal flag. It Is one of the first sights seen by visitors as they ' drive Into town and hopefully Inst.I I ls an Increased awareness of the Aboriginal Involvement and contribution to our unique and colourful tow11. As everyone In Broome know,s, there are many months of the year when the I ife of a retal I store becomes very tough. Goolarabooloo Is no exception and that fact, combined with the Increased production ot arts and crafts meant that within s ix months of fl ~st opening, we were looking for more dl~t~nt markets to not only absorb the quantity of work 'b\Jt also as a means to promote Kimberley Aboriginal , culture more widely . . In less than a year over 30 shops. and gal lerles throughout Austral la and overseas had placed orders and received goods from us. Many of these outlets are also Aboriginal run businesses. The alms of the . whole venture are bas Ical ly threefold. The primary goal Is to help promote and preserve Aboriginal culture. The KlmberleY, Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre, apart from supporting the arts, also assists people to participate In traditional ceremonial activities both . privately and In the public forum. Secondly: the sale of arts and crafts ts an effective way to bring about a greater appreciation of the richness and diversity of Aboriginal culture amongst the wider community. Each article sold through Goolarabooloo carries with It cultural information about the artist and the Item. This information wl 11 shortly be Increased with the Introduction of a variety of pri nted tags which will be affixed to . our present labels. Thirdly, ventures such as this have an enormous potential to provide both full-time and part-time employment for hundreds of Aboriginal people, many of whom are merely using the skills and knowledge they already possess, others are getting the opportunity to acquire new ski I ls In the managerial, administrative and marketing fields. This employment potential has been demonstrated already with the creation of eight full-time arts and crafts related positions throughout the Kimberley in the last 18 months, with more to come. These positions are attached to four Aboriginal organlzat1ons fr.om Broorne to Kununurra, and It has created a strong network of co-operation throughout the region. This network is· vital in achieving perhaps the most Important goal which Is to retain the control of the As marketing of Aboriginal art In Aboriginal hands. Austral la and the world ' are discovering that many aspects of the culture belong Ing to the original Aust- · rallans Is a marketable product, an avalanche of Interested parties have started cashing In. Although this need not necessarl ly be a bad thing, a real danger Is that the effor1s of grass-roots and often poorly resourced organizations I Ike ours, may be swamped. by the more well-oiled machinations of others who \ see a potential for gain. Let us hope that this cultural revival currently taking place can be a vehicle to Increasingly enrich the ·lives of all Australians - both black and white, but let us not forget exactly who should be in the driver's seat.

As this Is a community newspaper, I try to get community views on various eateries - after al I one man's meat (fish) Is another man's poison and therefore that feedback was accurate from Bay Bistro. To quote - 'How can anyone give an objective and truthful opinion I can assure you that without trying the product?' I. have tried the 'product' many times, what I did not take into account was the discarding of disposable plates and utensl Is - . an excellent ·move on your part proprietors, as that is what stopped me eating there as It did with many others. So on that count, apologies and keep the spag coming. Recently In Broome a bit of tourist propaganda was brought to fruition ie. · the fruit In question being the mango celebrating It':; first festival. I understand. that a competition was held to discover the best mango recipe. Perhaps the Tourist Bureau would I ike to release the winning entr.y for inclusion in the next edition, for people to store away for next season. The problem with giving away. recipes is .that people get very protective of some. With mango season approaching I managed to wheedle a superb chutney re'clpe from a friend only to be threatened with a nightmare col le~tlon of bn.:ital consequences should I give it to anyone else. The only. way people wi 11 get it Is the finished product for Xmas presents. To move on, last year I presented a run down on catered Christmas functions around the local hotels and restaurants; unfortunately this year we go to press Some a little earlier and I am unable to do this. establishments have not yet announced their plans for the holiday period and so It would be unfair to pub I lclse some and not others. Christmas is a nostalgic time when one reflects back on Christmas' past and part of the reverie usually dwells memorable ·Or dlsasterous feasts. My most " ,memorable would have to bfil one spent In England whl 1st working In a Children's Home (after all It is a time for children) for many It was the first traditional Christmas they had . ever spent - it even snowed. Most of the children were West Indian and so some dishes Included yams an9 sweat potatoes. The highl lght however was when the turkey came out and one smal I on 37 boy's eyes I Ike saucers wondering where we'd got hold of a giant chook! The most dlsasterous would have to have been Christmas with friends on a desolate beach near Esperance, trying to cook up stuffed turkey breast In mango sauce over a campfire In the midst of a howling gale. As the gale subsided we sipped on mulled wine and munched on Christmas Cake, as the wine warmed our chi I led bones we realised that Christmas Is the company of good friends, the environment Is very secondary.

Today the value placed on Peace Is at a premium. Around the g,lobe, cries for Peace are ringing out as military and civil conflicts Ignite and Increase dally. At the Individual level too, the lack of Peace within Is man[festing through anxiety, tension, stress and related physical 11 lnesses ranging from indegestlon to heart disorders ... It Is now suggested that even cancer Is stress-related. In fact, the quest for World Peace and the search for Peace within are one and the same In essence - the world is as peaceful as· the individua'ls In . It. Wh 11 e we · condemn war and vi oIence and even ·campa Ign for disarmament and World Peace, It's Interesting to ask ourselves: Am I becoming a more peaceful person? Do I renounce violence and hatred? , War and all forms of violence are born out of anger, greed, possessiveness and egotism. Everyone has their measure of these vices today. If I, as an lndlvldual, am not making the effort to overcome these things within myself, on what basis do I expect the world to become more Peaceful? Protests and demonstrations are, by and large, the expression of .anger and fear. The net effect is an Increase in peacelessness. On the other hand, the · lndlviQual who faces his own peaceles~ness and makes the effort to overcome its inherent causes, is making a positive contribution to Peace. St Marv' s School held a peace festival as part of their contribution to this, the 'International Year of Peace. The festival began with mass. which Included singing, dancing and an art exhibition where children's work was on display too. Father Mac celebrated the mass and the students songs throughout · the ceremony. They were sang accompanied by the Nulungu CoHege Band and teacher Shane Pola on the piano. · One of the most popular songs was We Are The World 1', with soloists K Molyneux, B Dolby, M Parriman, C Slbosado, H Loundes, P Cox, A Drummond, K Clarke, K Garstone and R Howard. · The rest of the choir and audience · joined in the chorus. The highl lght of the evening was a procession of year four students, who had folded 1,000 · paper· cranes that wl 11 be sent to the Hiroshima Peace Park in ,Japan. The children' s teacher , Chris Smart, came up with the Idea of getting her class to fold paper cranes . as part of their activities · for International Year ·of Peace. Chris says that she )lad heard the · story of Sadako and ]lS.. Jl8per 1::ranes when she was a child. The•-Japanfse heroine Sadako Sask! attempted to fold one· thousand paper cranes In a bid to conquer leukaemia that she suffered from as a result of radiation from the atomic bomb of Hiroshima. There Is an old Japanese story that the crane Is . suppose·d to I Ive for one thousand years: If sick person folds one thousand paper cranes, the gods will grant the wish and make the person healthy again. Now In Japan there Is a mollUment to Sadako which was erected In 1958. She Is standing on the top of a granite mountain of paradise, and holding a golden crane In out-stretched hands . Chris says that It was qu.l te difficult to work out the procedure of folding the paper cranes. The I lbrarlan at the ' school, Rosie Antenucci, came to the rescue and helped the class make Its first crane. Chris says that It has taken her twenty students about five months to complete the cranes. It ·is proposed that the cranes wt 11 be presented to a Japanese member of the Broome Community who can help organise the transport of the cranes to t,he · 'Sadako memorial and have the cranes placed there on Peace Day, August 6 next year. Engraved on the base of Sadako's statue is 'This Is our cry, this .Is our prayer, peace In the world. The story of Sadako . has been written by Eleanor 1 Coerr Sadako and the thousand paper cranes', Hodd.er and Stoughton, Sydney 1983.

For in sentencing the Court must often balance contradictory ' principles that the community expects to be incorporated into the disposition of an offender. Unfortunately, the public perception of the sentencing practices · of the Courts is not always true, in view of the tact that the media does not always truly present the facts of the case before the Court. · It is unusual for a member of the pub I le to perceive the Courts as "being too lenient. This is because the public is not · always . presented with the entir.e circumstances of the case that a Judge or Magistrate has before him in sentencing. · Demands of space and time do not always permit the accurate reporting of criminal cases. The purpose of this article Is to explain basic principles that the Courts take into account In sentencing and to dispel certain myttls associated with the sentence of Imprisonment. fhe basic principles that have · been ·con~idered to be · Important in sentencing are deterrence, rehabilitation Retribution has, in the ' and preventative detention. '.·past , been considered Important, however, it Is these days associated with the concept of deterrence. Deterrence basically implies per~uading offenders not to re-offend. It also, at times, lmpi ies persuading "'.members of the public generally not to offend in the same circumstances as a particular offender before ~'the Court. Rehab I I itatlon suggests bringing back into society "and making whole the person . who has broken the laws .of society. In this century especially, ,. the role of rehab I I 1.tation in the criminal justice system has become most important. . · · ' Preventative detention is usually only applied in the most serious crimes or In relation to the most ·-'persi stent offenders. Society acknowledges that there are "so~e · crimes that require offenders to be Imprisoned fo ' order " to · protect the public. Crimes of murder, aggravated sexual assault and armed robbery are ex,, amples of cases where preventative detention is a Indeed, in the case of an adult senweighty factQr. tenced to :;trict security I ife imprisonment for wi ltul - . murder, ·he ·:'will not be considered tor release before the expiration of 20 years after being sentenced. . Sentencing does not Involve the rigid appl !cation of a mathematical formula that determines, for example, that should a person hit another with a star picket , that he automatically goes to Jal I. The criminal justice system recognises that an offence is not something to be taken in Isolation but in the circumstances in which it occurs. Thus in sentencing the Court wi 11 look to the facts of the case . Including whether there. is· Bl)Y mitigating factors, the nature of the offence, and the character and background of the offender. The principles to be taken into account in sentencing wi 11 be considered in the I ight of thes.e factors. It is Increasingly acknowledged by criminologists, the Judiciary and members of the public , that imrisonment is not a greatly effective tool for rehab! I ltatlon or deterrance. One book published In the area Is entitled "The Fa! lure of Imprisonment". Imprisonment rather than rehabllltating offenders Is more likely to instil In them more criminal traits and. at the same time it Is a particularly expensive means of disposing of offenders. This Is not · to say that Imprisonment should not be warranted in certain cases such as those outlined above, but to ' remark that it should only. be used as a last resort. Thlos, Indeed, is a principle enunciated by the Supreme Court of this State and it Is appl led by ' Bl I sentencing Courts in . Western Austral la . Including the Court of Petty Sessions at Broome. Thus the Courts recognise that tines can have a punitive effect. The Courts can also consider probation, community service orders, a good behaviour bond and dismissal In appropriate cases. The disposition use~ depends on the facts of the case. Chris Bignell, In the previous edition of Broome News, criticised the sentenCing ' practice~oJ .the. B,roome Courts and lmpi led that ·imprisonment should be '" (isep more often so as to reduce the lrllcidence of · serious crime In the town. Such a view Implies that If one increases imprisonment one reduces crime. However., such a view is simplistic and not supported by statistics. Research produced by the Australian lnsitute of Criminology indicates that Western Australia's crime rate Is higher than that of any• other State of Australia and Is second ,only to the Northern Territory. Yet, 'It can not be said that we have experienced a sudden drop In crime as a result. Chris Blgnel I refers to the fact that Broome Prison Is full of people from Fitzroy Crossing because Justices or the Peace are harder there. However, my experience as ·a practicing lawyer In the Court of Petty Sessions at Broome and regularly at the Court of Petty Sessions at Fitzroy Crossing Is that the Incidence of more serious crime Involving assaults Is· greater in the ~rea of Fitzroy Crossing than In ~roome.

My own experience of practising before the Magistrates and Justices of the Peace In the Broome Court of Petty Sessions is that they generally apply the basic prlriclples of sentencing (albeit tempered to the local conditions) much the same as any other Court In the State. .

The crlmlnal justice system plays an Important role In the maintenance of order . in society. However, the behaviour of individuals In society Is a product of many factors and the role of the criminal Justice system Is not absolute. As the Chief Justice of Western Austral la, Sir Francis Burt, stated ear! ler this year: ''the Judges and the crlmlnal system cannot eradicate crime: The causes of crlmlnal behaviour are beyond the reach of. the law, It Is outrageous to • suggest that If the criminal law and punishment are properly administered, crime wi 11 disappear and we wi II be at peace."

The new green took himself and treasurer ,Peter Proud and several others approxil)lately 20 hours to install and the results are amazing. Playing on an eight handicap and having played pennant golf tor Mt Lawley, Golf Club, Vin O'Meara ascertains that the new green . has almost the same playing characteristics as a good grass green, but with virtually no maintenance. · Vin O'Meara is confident that' the many visitors which come to Broome each year wi 11 now spend more time on the golf course as their main objection to playing has always been the 'sand greens' which are so very different from ones played on In bigger towns and cl.lies. ' The new green was not cheap ($3,000) but it is envisaged, that the ell.lb wll I be able to Install three greens per year and thus Improve the course and attract · new members which In turn will help the greens pay tor themselves. Mr O'Meara Is del lghted by his committee's forward thinking as It wll 1 certainly be a big plus tor the Broome Golf Club. Vin and Cher.

It also appears that compensation is the answer to the P.W.D.ts problems and restoration is not a serious consideration. The Mlnister for Water Resources, Mr. Arthur Tonkin, has expressed no apparent concern, as despite my letter and phone cal1s I have received nothing in return.

A corroboree comprises three major components. First, there are a number of songs- Each song tells a part of a larger story. AII of the songs of the corroboree have the same recognisable melody. Secondly, there are a number of dances whose performers enact the events described in some of the songs. There are usually more songs than dances in a corroboree. Some 'non-dancj-ng' songs, that is songs which do not have an associ-ated dance, usually tell of a particular event in the overall story. Other 'non-dancj-ng' songs, however, act as a cue for the dancers; that is, when the si-ngers perform one of these songs, they inform the dancers that a new dance is about to comnence. The dancers consequentJ-y prepare themsel-ves for the new dance. Thirdly, each corroboree has particular recognisable designs associated with i-t whlch are painted on the performers' bodies.

The cone shell is the home of the cone fish, a type of sea snail, which is capable of shooting out a harpoon dart which the fish uses for both feedlng and defence. The harpoon contains a deadly protein poison which attacks the central nervous system, causing death in fess than nine minutes. There is no antidote. Already there has been l-4 Australian fatalities "A woman walked into the shop last week holding the cone sheff by the end that stings. She could have been number 15," saj-d Val Sweetman who runs the Shell Shop with her husband, Noel. "People should treat alf cone shell-s as deadly, and j-f they must pick them up hold them by the fat end, and keep right away from the thin end. The thin end shoots the poison," she added. The cone shel-I is predominant around Broome, being found underneath rocks in the area's many rock pools. The easiest way to tell a fish eating cone j-s by its flared aperture, whj-ch is used to accommodate the cone fish. "If people are going to take the cones home, then they shoul-d take something to put them in. Then they should be boiled to nullify the poison, this also makes it easier to remove the cone f ish, " Iv1rs. Sweetman said. "The time most people are at risk 1s when they grab the shell at home. ?hey forget the danger when the fish eater is in its most aggresive state. "Another danger is when people turn ower rocks and \,ralk on them bare-footed. If you handl-e them remember even gloves are not safe," she added. "The cone shelf ls pretty, but dangerous." P. !{.

The openlng BaIl hosted a list of digni-taries as long as your arm to Big Clj-max cel-ebrate the traditional of the festival-: the coronation of Broome Pearl Queen 1984. The 1ove1y entrants entered the Civic Centre on the arm of a young Offlcer. The s$reat from all those long hours of hard work were washed away, the stage lights were on and there was a hint of perfume in the air. The ladies had survived the fund raising rigours of the Pearl gueen Trai-l-. They survived the Cocktail Party and a barrage of predictabJ-y embarrassing questlons from the Master of Ceremonies. The speeches were orrer, the Roya1 Court had been announced ancl the magic moment had arrived under the glare of Civic Centre scrutlny. Shinju Committee Presldent Rod Lambie stepped to the mrcrophone, said a few w.ords and reached int-o an empty pocket. 'for the envelope contain:-ng the identity of Broome Shiniu Matsuri Pear] Queen 1984. The climax interuptus that followecl may have amused and bemused many in the audience, but most cou.Id appreciate that thi-s is Broome and that these things do happen. Time passed. ?he nervous tension of the Entrants cn staqe graduall-y evaporated as Rod Lambie's glands began to pirmp dangerous level-s of adrenafi-n. Then the case of the nissi-ng envelope was solved, The Pear] 9ueen Contest was on again! Rod Lambie had the winner. Judy Arrow, sponsored by the Broome Yachet Cfub is an energetic business woman who is part of the current reformation in the Broome Pear] Industry. Judy is a natural and should sit well under the Shlnju Pearl r?ueen Crown in the coming year. The Opening Ball merry making continued to the upbeat tunes of the Duo "Minder" who provided a beat the fox trotters, the bouncers and the Beatles Fans cou]d move to. The Bj-rd dance put smiles on faces al-l over the halI, the supper h/as a chicken treat and the Kimber_Ley for-ma.I crowd enjoyed every finger l-icktn minute of it. The Opening BaJ-f kicked off Shj_nju Nlatsuri with a style a1l its own The Broome Arts and Crafts Society C-Losing Bal-l was fancy dress and ended Shinju Matsuri f984 to the hard rock sounds of Broome groups "Bingurr" and "Ivlixed Breed. " It was a different Ball altogether The Opening Ball was weff ordered, cordial- and respectable. The Closj-ng Ball by comparison had crabsLi-teral-ly hundreds of red and wl-ri *-e crabs sat on the tables. Ivlarvin l{ud Crab dominated his court from hi-s nest below center stage. Captain Crab Cufture stalked the pandemoni-um in search of his lost glass of wine. Princess Di was there dressed in trademark pearJ-s. The future Queen to no one's surprise won the Best Dressed Trophy and gracefulJ-y accepted her bottl-e of Champagne to the rowdy acclimation of those assembfed. The Fupper was a healthy affair. lettuce, cucumber, carrot seafood combination went down well, but the mrschrevous chef placed the fuffy ergct carrot in the mlddl-e of the servi-ng pl-atter arrangement. At the Broome News table the supper inspired in Ahab the Arab a prank of pure sleaze. He placed the platter in front of Princess Di and slyly suggested that she attempt to eat the carrot without uslng her fingers. Innocent in matters of sneaky Arabs Princess Di obeyed. The resulting spectagle stunned more world wise Royality watchers. It was that kind of night. CONT. OVEF 22 �BALLS CONT. Between the two Balls many other outstanding events took place but because of space consideration I cannot hope to cover them all. Here are a couple worthy of note: The school ki ds again worked wonders in the Shinju Fl-oat Parade. Marvin Mud Crab scuttl-ed the entire parade route onJ-y to have his legs give out at the foot of the Judge's platform. Doc Reiro proved that laughter is the best medicine by taking out the most Humerous Pri-ze with the help of the Broome Ivlafia. The Cable Beach Carnival proved a strenuous exercise for the men of the Sand Hi-l]-s marathon. The tug-of-war crews did a week's exercj_se for a carton of beer and Sissy Manado showed once again why she was the reigning Broome Body Beautiful. Shinju Matsuri 1984 was a great week.

"We here in W.A, are handi-capped however, on two counts; there is alack of popuJ-ation, which I suppose boil-s down to lack of people with large sums of money to spend on individually designed pieces, and also our hlgh tax structure. "The Governrnent glves no incentive to the jewellery industry and although many tens of thousands of Austra-Lians are employed i-n the heslgnrng and manufact-ure, drstributing and retailing of jewellery, it is an rndustry which is subject to hi.gh taxes and lj-ttle help given to l-ocal- producers," he added. Mr. Mazzucchel-Ij- befleves that the pearling igdustry which is now obviously overshadowed by the tourist industry wll-l- be strong and viabl-e for many years. "Indeed if the tourj-st industry is to thrive it is going to need the pearling industry. Both the pearling industry and the local- jewellery industry have been given added impetus by B1J_I Reid, who I befieve has the industry at heart, and has done a great deal to expand the locaf jewellery market, " Iv1r. I"lazzucchel-l-1 said. The jewellery competitionrzexhibition was advertj-sed nationafly in the Australj-an Jewell_ers Association Journal, arrd attracted l_3 entrants ranging from some of the top jewellers in Australia, to an 82 year old Sil_versmith, Mrs. Adam of Victoria. Three of the jewllers spent thousands of dollars and many weeks work designing and making thei-r items. Three of the jewellers spent thousands of dol-lars and many weeks work designlng and making their items.

Bill Reld. llery was therefore "The competition has created a tremendous improvement i-n the local- work. The previous pearl auctions that we were holdi-ng had become stal-e. can compare prices in a more informaland rel-axed atmosphere," Mr. Reid added, Itlost of the work at the exhibition was not for sale but crafted pureJ-y for artistic purposesthe art of the pearl. After the exhibition they 90 back to the craftspeopfe to stand as examples of the quallty of their work.

Second prize went to John Mc Diven for his exhibit of a baroque pearl set in l8ct. gold and enamel , desi-gned as a combinatj-on brooch,/pendant. Third prize was griven to Alan Linney for his "Pearlers Pouch", which was a pendant in 18ct. gold set with ruby and smalf seed pearls "Without doubt the most outstanding exhibit was the "Pearl-er's Dream" by John [,lc Dlven, which was an ornament in 18ct. gold on ''a silver wave settlng," Mr. Mazzucchelli said, This piece was di_squalified since the competition was for jewellery design and the ,'pearler's Dream'did not fit this category. The judges dJ_d recommend to the Shinju Corilnlttee that this piece be awarded a special prize. Iqr. ylazzucchelli believes that exhibitions.of thi-s sort are good for the industry. "Anything that brings an awareness to the public must be an advantage. Whether people like or dj-slike an exhibition'they will- at least talk about it, and therekore the idea of pearl jeweltery is sown in their minds," he added. P. W.

II'HEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT TERRY CULLEN, THEY ARE VV**""" TNDTFFERENT. you ETTHER LovE OR HATE THE BIG BLOKE WHO WAS THE LICENSEE OF THE ROEBUCK HOTEL FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. Terry did nothing by halves. So it comes as no surprise that the major operation he is currently undergoing in Perth is for the largest incisional hernia that doctors there have seen. Terry came to Broome in 1976 to take up the position of licensee of the Roebuck Bay HoteJ-. "Everything was ramshackle and dirty" and his first thought was, "what have I Iet myself j-n for". But if ever there was a person that was tailor-rpade for Broome's saloon-bar shinanegans, it was Terry Cullen. An ex-boxer, footballer and r"rrestler, Terry started in Perth's pubs as a bouncer j-n 1969. From bouncing he turned barman/ manager which 1ed to becoming a licensee. As licensee of the Roebuck he was a]ways in the thick of it. One Broome tale has hlm picking up two burley brursers, clonkj-ng their heads together and tossing them onto Dampj-er Terrace. His stature and participatj-on in the rougher side of the Roebuck means that many see him simply asr."a heavy". Yet there is another side. A year after arriving he was watching the senior footy and after chatting with a group of kids at hal-f time who Iamented the fact that there was no junior footba11, Terry declded to do something about it. The resul-t; the kids were formed into eight teams and Terry coached half of them. Today, there are l-0 junior teams and the senior sides are reaping the benefits of more experienced players. His lnterest in supporting sport extended to hls sponsorship of basebalf cl_ubs such as the I\4aul-ers and the Pirates. The pr:lice and Citizens Youth Cl-ub have also benefited from hi_s fundg3,0OO in one year. raising abilities, Terry's civic-mindedness extended to aiding Father Dlac 1n accomodating people who turned up on the stcps of the Presbytery and qulte a few people around town remember hlm for personal acts of kindness and his willingness to help. But perhaps the most tangible testimony of his abili-ty to rel-ate to a1I sorts of people is the current batch of Roebuck employees.It was a sad series of farewel_ls that fol_lowed the announcement that he would not be returning after his operation. "Terry Cull_en was an integral part of the Roebuck and it is hard to imagine i-t without him":"Best boss I've ever worked for,' "Ivlorale booster" : "Not a bad bastard" :',Great guy'J Given the seasonal_ nature of the hotel indus_ try in Broome, Terry has worked with over 1,OOO different characters and has thj-s to say: "They are asked to do so much. They deserve 21 }ne Last Bt,oone beerMiehael Look back and Laugh. a gold medal for staying longer than three months. In terms of loyalty they are some of Lhe finest that I have worked with." Terry's desire to promote the Roebuck as something dlfferent undoubtedJ-y created extra work for the staff but unquesti-onably produced events which, regardfess of taste, were memorable. The Roebuck Olympics sums up the games-of-excess that- charged-up focals and tourists participated in; Arm-wrestling, the dance-of-the-flaming-unrncntionables, the Iron Man Competition where the undisputed King of excess 1s declared after sculling numerous jugs, woofing down cold p:-es and downi-ng green porridge. Love it or leave it, it has been filmed by several channels, written about and recognized as a distinct curiousity These games are the public offering of Terry Cull-en's wacky nature. His practical joking behind the scenes served more often than not to re]leve the tension in an over-stressed hotel. But again, you elther loved it or hated it-- depending on which side of the joke you were- Either way it t.ypifies what the man is about. In the ofh days it was a l-icensee's job to identify with the communrty, know his customers and do what he saw was necessary to keep the show on the road. Terry has fulfil-Ied this and Tez,z,y and, more. He was the flrst to give loca1 musicians a go and the Roebuck is stifl the only pub with regular l-rve entertainment. Three years ago he managed loca1 band Black Label; Foonka Martin, L.indsay Cox, BuIl, Danny Dantoine and Micky Manolis These days, the Roebuck is a nlrtti-million doll-ar concern. Although an experienced operator wil-L accomodate the legendary nature of the Ol_d Roebuck and to the outside world nothing much woufd seem to have bhanged, the people who knew Terry CuIIen wlfl naturally miss hl4" IEVA TOIUSONS �ii::":"'*"' SEIF SERVICE ST0RE "r::!s:l 3;:::::'".

The occasi-on gave people the chance to hear the original songs of Johnny l{ill,er, Bingurr, The Beagle Bay Band, Mrxed Breed and Boogoo and the Bandits. It was a great occasion to rage even though at times the sound wasn't the best due to having to rearrange the P.A. after each performance. Perhaps there should be a few more occasions that the Reebuck and perhaps other venues host competitions fi-ke thls on different nights. The musicians themselves could get together to put together some alternative music and get paj-<l for it. I am sure peopLe woul-d l-ike to hear some Country and Western, Folk an:rd Jazz like Bingurr and the other bands play. So how about a venue that wil{ host some music other than rock and roll? f am sure that the l-ocal- bands would be willing to put something together if people formed a cfub and petit,i_oned the hotels to provi-de a venue and provide employment for the local musicians. Clostng BaLL: Who's that buruoaing into Rabbit's shoulden? The girls intend to forward the tapes for air-play on Abori-ginal Stations throughout Australia and had 2O0 advance orders for the tape on its rel-ease. KII4BERLEY PECK comprises Pauline l/']hite, Erj-ca Bennard, Kathy Cox and Cherie Ross. The songs are somewhat Country-Fol-k and good value for the money. Their product should stimulate other musicj-ans to put togethe4 cassettes for refease. If the girls can do it there is no reason why the other bands can't. A1l- it r-akes j-s a bit of effort and money to go to Ferth and do i-t. So how about j-t? Let's get something happen: ing in Broome as far as recordlng oriolnal musrc is concerned. The closing BaJ-I, organised by the Arts and Crafts Centre was a great success. The bands, Bingurr and Mixed Breed put together a great nj-ght of entertainment with the help of Johnny M11ler and ASPRO, a performing troupe from Alice Springs. HopefuJ-ly we can look forward to sj-milar functions 1s the last was such a great success. I(IMBERLEY PECI( The other item of interest is that a group of Kimberl-ey gj-rls have put together a tape while attending school in Perth.

THE LOOPER CATERMOST OBVIOUS DURING THE WET SEASON' HAS STIPPED MANY TREES OF THEIR LEAVES, EVEN ON SOME OCCASIONS DAMAGING OTIIFR TREE SPECIES. PILLAR, LIFE HISTQRY Eggs are faid on the leaves by the moth and then hatch into loopers. These have a sj-Iver stri-pe runni-ng d.own each side of a green body and grow to a length of approximately 25rnm. Small- brown excre- tory droppings on the ground is the first indi-cation of the presence of the loopers on taf.L trees After the first attack on the .Ieaves by the loopers the tree will 90 through a peri-od of leaf regrowth.

This retards root growth and ffoweri4g in the following season may be severely affected, CONTROL OF' LOOPERS a) BIOLoGICAL CONTROL There does not appear to be any truly effectj-ve naturaf control by predators and parasites, yet birds and lizards give some control of loopers. The cocoon stage may be interrupted by the young stage of a parasitic wasp. L TREE IIV.IECT],ON CHEMICAL CONTROL Tree injection has been found to be a safer, easier and more practical- method than spraying, €sPecralllz with large trees. Using an electric drill- or brace and bit, drill holes lOmm. wide and 3Omm deep at a 6odegree angle into the tree every 15 cm. around the trunk. or 'Rogor', after being half 'Azodrin','Nitofol' dil-uted \,rith ltater, can then be used to f i-f I the b) efully to ensure safety in use. ' When the hole is filled, seal it with vaseline, wax, bj-tumen, pa-int or doweJ-s to halt sap overfJ-ow, although this is not always necessary. The 'holes will- eventually heal themsefves, but can be made use of again within the next few weeks if more loopers appear. The tree absorbs the chemical quickly and affected loopers fafl from the tree within two or three hours. INJECTION OF OTHER TREES a) EUCALYPTUS TREES Leaf-eating grubs -in gum trees have been successfully controll-ed by "Nitofol" injections. The control of sucki-ng pests such as scales and mealy bugs has been brought about by the use of "Rogor" during the past few years. Thi-s is mi-xed with equal amounts of water and injected i-nto the Eucalyptus as it is into the Poinciana. 2 _ SPRAYING Spray,ing is difflcult on farge trees. Sprays may be harmful to the user and domestic pets. Operators of the special spray equlpment should wear suitable protective clothing and face masks. There are a number of chemical-s that will control loopers. Thise availabl_e for hc..ne gardens are "Trichlorphon", "Diptrex", "t4a]athion,,. The chemical is difuted wj-th water and a wetting agent 1s added to allovr the chemical to spread over the leaves.

Then by the 3rd round, the plot thickened and ttPhantomstt dj-sappeared and then to top it off, just when we thought the trMangoesrr were ffowering - ttMangoestt decided they were out of season! So ttJetstt, feeling they couldntt play trTritonstt, the sea deities from Greek Mythology, half men and half fish, with the power to raise and compose storms (so my dictionary te11s me) for the next 4 weeks, consulted the committee and it was unanimously declared let the grand finaler be A,S.A.P. - and lt was A general meeting was held on 20th August and the majorlty of the teams were represented. It was put to the vote and decided that B.N.A. wou1d put on a show j.n the Conti Beer Garden, with a smorgasboard tea and entertainment by Broomets D.J., Mr. Denj-s Llddlow. The trgphies will be presented. Over the past few years the B.N.A.ts wind-up shows have been an over-whelming success. This year will be no exceptlon, especially as the cost. of the evening perhead is only $7. No-one could quibble about the price of a good fced when it is only $7 - could they? So bring your family, friends and disco lovers along - at least 100 tickets must be so1d. Tickets are available from Pat Medlend at the Police Adrnin. Offlce - Ph. 9211,57.
