There are few things more annoying than being told , when half-way through a job, that you've done it wrong. One is being to ld that when you've finished . What follows is writt en on the premise that it is better to risk committing the lesser of the two offences. Many Broome residen t s will have noticed with concern the recent unexplained destruction of part of the grassy fo reshore a t Cable Beach, and its replacement by a plateau of red sand. What, they have asked themselves, with variable response, could be the meaning of it? Some believed this was an extensi on to the a lready. ample car park, and used it as such until a fence appeared. Wro ng~ · Other, optimistic souls sugg ested tha t the Counci l might be planning a new, improved.lawn or garden . No grass or plants have yet sprung up. Wrong, it seems, agai n. And t hen was heard a nasty but persistent rumour, linking the change with a lon1-> threatened s how.er and toile t".: ~ock with changing rooms for bathers. No doubt many to urists need to relieve themsel ves f rom tl rne to time (the local s a r e used to post ponin~ this particular gra tification), and modesty is unques tionably served by changingrooms. Perhaps, indeed, such a building is a necessity. But surel y not in the prime position on the fores hore? Many habitue s of Cable Beach en joy watching the sunset from the grassy verge overlooking the wat er. All cramped up in the space that remains , will they really find their view enhanced by the quaipt brick or concrete bui l ding alongside? .Will those . who pring a picnic (notwithstanding the untidy habits of some of · them) find their appetite sharp- · ened when the South-Westerlies · waft the frag~ance of tne urinals their way? We are, of cours e , hoping that the rumour is false. We all believe the Council has the taste a nd the imagination to erect an unpre tentious, . inoffensive buil ding, tucked neatly away in a qonven ient corner. Even just a few yards back from where the new lawn is going to be, perhaps? PAL. P.O.

MEETS The recent Year 11 Graduation Ceremony and presentation of Certificates to 8 Broome Girls has big. lighted an important milestone in the history of Broome District High School and indeed for Broome Town. The event coincides 11.appily enough with the State's 150th Anniversary. At the outset of the year when people elsewhere in the state were dressing up and recalling past eventsthe girls themselves made up their minds that their contrill>ution to their State would be a year of academic endeavour successfully performed. Bence their motto became •stability and Responsibility•. Typical of Broomites they didno pledge in vain. The pioneering Graduates from the inaugural yea1 of Broome Business Course are: LEONIE EXELL as Clerk Typist, MANDY FERGUSEN Receptionist, KBRRIAN FRANCKS as Stenographer, .VERONICA FRANCIS Stenographer, TRACY GREGORY Clerk Typist, LOUISE MCKENNA Clerk Typist, SANORA MASUDA as Steno·secretary and SARAH SAMIT as Receptionist.

Courses of this kind have been long overdue in Broome and praised the efforts of the Broome District High School and Nulungu Christian Brothers College for their combined efforts in organising Courses which actually train local people. for jobs available in the Town. . School Certificates g iving credits for their areas of special ability .."1ere handed out together with Education Department Certificates for passes at State Standards in Year 11 Vocational Business Course. For the girls who have done their studies in an isolated area of the State this must have been very gratifying. The Principal, Mr. Adam Bubna-Litic thanked Dr Reid for his comments and expressed his gratitude to---t.he focal Business Houses in assisting .the Project in every way as w~ll as pr oviding the keys~one of the Course, the actual work experience on a regular .weekly basis and thus helping students realise first hand the requirements of employers in fact rather than in theory. At the Ceremony conducted in the Broome Pre-Primary Centre Shire President Dr. Peter Reid congratulated the girls on their achievement~-aad praised the School and Staff * for their initiative in assisting _the community * for providing opportunity of employment to their s ·::udents Mr. Bubna-Litic congrat the girls on their enthusiasti response to the Course, their ultimate successful completio of standa~d requirements.

Regarding the undefeated' girl?, we ascertained this was the Broome Basketoall girls and so we approached -a leading basketball official who commented: "Yeh, they were undefeated, so what, they were only playing girls!!" So there you have it!! ~sh to express my views on ~orthcoming Sportsman of ear Ball. As many of ocal people involved in are women I think that presentation should be _ under the heading of s Person rather than _ sman. To use the _latter indicates to me that the ~- ibution of the sports of this town is ortant.

WHAT HAPPENS IF CYCLONE STRIKES BROOME? 7 ·"' A How many Broome residents are aware of what to do in the event of a cyclone? Broome branch of the Western Australian State Energy Service stand ready to assist the community. They stand ready to act in the event of any cyclone or natural disaster. The Co-ordination of Broome District Local Voluntary Emergency Service is Sergeant Smith of Broome Police and his deputy is Doug Escott. Before any cyclone occurs Broome residents will hear•the following terms on the radio: a) Cyclone Watch; This is announced when a cyclone or potential cyclone threat exists but is unlikely· to affect coastal communities within 24 ho urs. b) Cyclone Warning: This is issued when an existing cyclone or a developing disturbance with cyclonic potential is expected to come at least., gale f_orce winds within 24 hours on or near some section of the coast. The local Emergency Service has divided Broome into seven areas, for use in the event of a c yclone (see map). Each area has a section leader with approximately six other assistants, their jobs include taking those people who are either worried or do not have cyclone proof housing, to safer accommodation. . -~.~ Section Section Leader Safe Area A Terry Cullen (Roebuck Ho tel) Manager Police Station Court House D Bill D'Arcy Old (Roebuck Customs Autos) 92 1004 House Tropic Hotel E Les Ross (Ross Constructions) 92 1023 Andy Philps (Al's Checkpoint) 92 1051 F Kings ley Stein Christi(Engineering - Brother Port Drive) College 9 2 1016 , G Ji m Burne tt (Engineering.Port Drive) 92 1016 Services: The Local Emergency Service has direct radio contact with Per via their Communications 0ffic Andy Minshull (92 1080).

Broome's Emergency Service commi ttee meet regularly once crisis appears i mminent, such a cyclone. However, they rep that offers of realistic assistance from Perth is sadl lac king and it would probablytake a natural disaster to ha occurred, such as Cyclone Tra in Darwin, or for one of the ,ever increasing numbers of M.:_ jets to crash, be fore the powe that :.be down south offer cone_ help ' which might ensu,re fewer Broome lives be lost.

THIS MONTH: SNAKES. Some people are afraid of snakes, which is a pity and mainly due to ignoranc e. Most snakes are just as frightene d of human beings, and with be tt er reason. Many mor~ snakes are killed by human beings eac h year tha n vice versa. Besides, some snake s are harmless, which is more than you can say about human beings. Snakes have other habits that ~ight be emulated by peo ple. For instance, many spec ie s lay eggs. The young are usual ly abandoned at birth, if not before. This is convenient for their parents. ~he eggs hatch, not unnaturally, into small_snakes_which g ro w rapidly, shedding their skin each t ime it g ets too tight f or them. One species of snake that lives in Broome and is considered harmless to human beings is the black-headed python. This is eas y t o distingui sh by its black head. Its body is go ld wi t h bla ck bands and it grows to a length of 8 or 10 feet. It feeds on b irds and non-human mammals , as well as on reptiles, including goannas and other snakes. The se a nimals do not consider it ~a r mless. Pythons are ~no t poi sonous . Th ey kill their pr ey by crushing or suffocating it to deat h with their po~erful bod ies. They then s wallow it wh ole. ~hen they have finished feeding, they find a s uitable spot to lie down while they diges~. Like the French, pythons consider rest essential to a good dig estion. These sies tas may last as long as several weeks. In this they out-do even the French. Most poisonous sne cie s of snake give birth to - live young, but show no g~Aate r interest in them than do the egg-laye rs, .ex-. cept as . a possible meal. Sna ke venom is for killing prey rather than people, thoug h it can do doubl e service as a me thod of d~f ence, ~ost snakes will only bit e you if you deserve it. . The brown . tree snake , which en Joys the Kimberley coas t can be quit e aggressive when disturbed, _but ~he~e i~ no need to g et excited if it bites you since, according to one authority, it s ven om ca uses only "minor inconvenience11. Its cousin the green t ree snake, which doesn't live i n trees at all, isn't venomous, but give s off an evil smell if handl ed. The death adder, found thr ghout Australia, should not handl ed at all. There is ever reason to g et excited if this one bites you, though excitement is not recommended. Pra ·might be more in order. This · a fairly small snake, ave rag " ~nly 16 inches in length, th 1t can reach twice t hat size. has a penchant for lying on ~ground well camoufl aged and " se ld om moves away from ' impe~: ing danger ". That coul d be b cause i~ is the impending da!:.= Though its colour is variabl it may be identified by its broad triangular head and na _ ne ck, thick body and short spi ned tail. Contrary to c~ belief, the spine is not po ·_ ous. However, t h is is smal l_ solation if you tread on it cause the death adder has a'_ utat ion for striking with gr speed and accuracy, and the~ hang ing on for grim death. : Fortunately, most snake-:: vict ims recover nowadays, o t o the devel opment of anti ve The trick is to apply a tou et and ge t to the hospital :~ If you can't get to a hospi-tough .

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. . It has already monitored widespread dlsrega~d of min isterial press releases closing state waters off to . prawn trawling, up to three miles off the coast In the Broome area. Proposed future pol Icing arrangements are very precarious, and given the nature of night operations, j PRAWN TRAWLERS AT BROOME WHARF. and the history of prawn trawl Ing In other areas, ' It Is a sure guarantee that prawn trawlers wl 11 not rer,naln within the confines of 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. Anybody wishing to add support to the concern of the I lcensecl Pearl Producers .Association should contact their State and Federal members of Par I lament. , , LI censed Pear I Producers Assoc I at I on of Broome.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Appl !cations for ·,a replacement will close on 25th September, Mr Newman's last day with the Broome Counci I. . 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. The Tourist Bureau wrote to the Shire reql!esting that a fifth caravan park be developed " · as soon as possible ". 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. " The Department hoped to have a resolution on the matter no later than the end of October. �. ·- ~ REAL . ESTATE PERTH .'

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.

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.

Reg Iona I Manager of the Broome off Ice of Social Security, said today that the Government had made changes to some aspects of the May Econom1c Statement in order to a s s I st some so I e parents. Mrs Mason said that the changes would assist al I sole parents who will lose their pension between September 1 1987 • and December 31 1987 because they no Ionger have a ch I Id under 16 years of age In their care.

In addition, It has been decided to protect those sole parents who were studyIng ful I time in an approved course and who were receiving Austudy prl,or to September 1 1987.

Indus try about proposed changes. Lands Minister, -Keith Wi Ison·, announced the decision to review the legislation after meeting today with Premier Brian Burke, and the President of the Pastoral 1st and Graziers Association, Mr Max Cameron. Mr WI Ison said the Government acknowledged the Industry's concerns and would Involve pastoral Industry representatives in the redrafting process. A working party would be formed to undertake the redrafting which would begin with recommendations contained In the Pastoral Tenure Study Group Report. Mr Wi Ison said that consideration would be given to the P G A's suggestion that an entirely new Act was required rather than amending existing legislation. He said although the redrafting would cause -a delay It was critical that the legislation was In a form which achieved the twin objectives of Increasing the security of the pastoral industry and preserving the range land a?set.

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 Great Bowerblrd Is about 35cm long, mostly grey with a brownish grey back. The wings and tal I are heavl ly spotted pale grey. The male has a I I lac nape crest. Usually the female lays two eggs in a frail saucer nest of twl gs in ij tree we 11 away from the bower. The nat Ive fig, which ripens In the middle of the year, Is a favourite fruit of the Great Bowerblrd. 1 BRIAN ,o ,,.,_ I .

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.

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.

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 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'.

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.
