The decision was the result of an exhaustive analysts of medical research (notably the Menzies School of Medicine's report - Darwin), academic opinion and the views of Aborigines. The Premier commended North West merchants Who had demonstrated great community responsibility by voluntarl ly stopping proposed sales of kava pending the Government's decision.

BROOME PH.091 921 804 �ANGLICAN BISHOP The Ang I I can Church In the d I ocese of North West Austra I la has appo i nted a regional bishop for the Kimberley. 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."

It Is considered necessary to establish such a body mainly because regular maintenance to the Horrle Miiler Memorial and the Wackett aircraft Is urgently needed. The town already lost one aircraft, the DC3, and we risk losing .the Wackett as well If It Is not preserved and maintained lr:i a reasonable condition. As well, many WW2 and other Interesting aviation rel lcs are aval Iable which should be restored and displayed for all to see. The WA division of the Aviation Historical Society has recently amended Its Constitution to enable the formation of branches. If successful, Broome would have the first such branch In the State.

It felt good to wander amongst faml Iles and food stal Is and dance under the moon and stars to I Ive music, Broome style, and al I free of charge! 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.

When I started work as gardlner for the Roebuck bay Caravan Park over ten years ago, there were three falrly big trees growing on the park, one of which produced fruit the first year I was there.

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.

Despite submissions to Government, both the Gublnge groves and vine thickets face an uncertain future due to development pressure.

The Society recently also presented a submission to Government, supported by the Shire, seeking protection for the outstanding vine thicket communities along the coast between Barred Creek and James Price Point, currently as a Pastoral lease. · Along the town foreshore of Roebuck Bay, the Society looks forward to developing a mangrove trall this year as part of a Heritage walk, utlllslng Bicentennial funding.

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

Over 2. 000 peop I e from most Kimberley communities vvere there. At this festival of traditional song and dance the people· voted for the formal establishment of a Kimberley cultural group. One of the main alms of this group _Is to assist in the development of Arts and Crafts Industry In that the profits from the industry go to the artists and their communities. With the assistance of Bicentennial funding, the Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Cultural Centre was able t_o establish the first Aboriginal pub I lshrng house, Magabala Books. Magabala Books represents a positive action in tne face of pressure on Aborigines to discard Aboriginal Culture. Pub I lshing Aboriginal stories has given voice to tradition In a modem way. '•\ ~ '""" LAUNCHING The pub I i she rs a Im to produce good qua 11 ty .books In a wide range of styles, keeping In mind the way the Author wants the story or artwork presented. Magabala Books, which Is based lh · Broome, published their first book, 'Mayi Bush Fruits of Dampler"land', late In 1987. On February 25th the. author of that first pub I lcatlon,Merrl lee Lands, opened the launch Ing of the 2nd and 3rd book titles, 'Jalygurr - Aussie Animal Rhymes' by Pat Torres and 'The Story of Crow' by Pat Torres and Mackle Wiiiiams. Merr 11 ee we Icorned · the I arge crowd that had gathered at the Broome Town Library for the Launching and explained that Magabala Book's aim was to . promote Aboriginal language by producing top quality bl lingual books. Merrilee then Introduced Paul . Sampl, the Chairman of the Law and Cultural Centre In Broome. Paul ended his discussion on the history of Magabala Books by describing their efforts as "Hard times ·mostly - but we found our achievement In Determination."

Eng I neer' s Report Pear I Ing The Shire Engineer's Report covered details of construction works being undertaken by the shire. The Shire Is working on road and drainage construction at the Cable Beach Sub-division, Stage 2. They have commenced building a new road, Murray Road, which wl 11 al low for the release of six tourist development sites Immediately south of the Crocodl le Park. Lullfltz Drive Is being constructed over . 440 metres, and Ml 11 lngton Road, over 780 metres. The funding for these two roads Is coming from the Australian Bicentennial Road Development Fund, personal ftrldlng, developer's funds, as well as from the Shire. The town oval and concourse reticulation system has been overhauled. In response to a request from S R Amusements to book the concourse area from 24th to 28th May, the Engineer suggested that a bond be Imposed to cover damage to sprinklers which might occur. At the meeting, Councl I agreed to Impose a bond of $500 on amusement compan Ies and c Ireuses requiring the use of the concourse, to ensure that the .cost of replaclng any broken sprinklers Is covered. Library Leases The Shire wrote to the Pearl Ing Industry Review Committee at the end of last year concerning .a submission they had rece Ived from the LI censed Pear I Producers Association. The Association wished that every attempt be made to extend the lease periods for farm and adjoining land areas, to a much longer term. This · would reflect the long term Investment In modem pearling operations. They favoured a 21 year lease with an option of a further 21 years. The Shire endorsed the Association's request, as they bel leved · that companies could not be reasonably expected to commit themselves to large financial Investments, without adequate security of tenure. The .Pearl Ing Industry Review Committee rep I led on 29th January, stating that the comments would be considered 'before a flnaJ set of recommendations Is formulated." Schoo Is In Broome The Education Department wrote to the Shire on ·9th February, In reply to the Council's letter about future school bul Iding programmes In Broome. The main points of the Department's letter were: 1. That preliminary planning on the proposed Weld Street site has commenced. It Is Intended to upgrade the facl I Ities and provide permanent accommodation for 380 to 400 students. Whl le no definite tender date Is currently available, the work Is expected to begin early next year, "subject to the avallablllty of funds". 2. It Is proposed to establ lsh a new primary school In Residential Neighbourhood A, In about 2-3 years. The heed for a new school wl 11 ~ reviewed later this year. 3. It Is lntendeq to provide extra pre-primary centres In conjunction with the work at Weld Street, and at Additions The Library Board's 1988/89 Development Programme has given Broome Library an al location of an extra 1500 books, after June, 1988. The Shire Librarian, Mr Stefan Jordanoff, expressed concern that the extra stock would need to be housed In the present available · space. This would reduce the area now used for studY and children's story sessions, etc. He also noted that the additional stock would stl 11 leave Broome short of It's entitlement for a population of 6,500. He observed that consideration needs to be given now to the future of the service. Any building programme should be based upon an estimation of Broome's population In 7 to 10 years. The. council agreed that the Building SllVeyor and the Librarian discuss the extensions. They should report to the next Works and Development Committee Meeting on the size of optimum extensions and their approximate costs. Compared with January, 1987, Library Issues were 30% higher, registrations 20% more and stock on loan 28% greater In January this year. the proposed new school. A Home for "-Sam Male" The Shire has applied to the Tourism Commission for a grant of $50,000 to bul Id a struct.le to house the "Sam Male" lugger.

The Works and Development Committee was addressed by Architect . Mr L Burton. The visitor spoke about a possible use for an area under option to the Shire.

At first floor level 22 residential units would be bul It.

However the company proposes one 18 hole course, with the first 9 holes In the northern section". Steps were currently being taken to gain a flnal clearance from the EPA and they have discussed the proposal with officers from the Lands Department In Perth. Plan · 2 The Shire was sent copies of the Coastal Management Plan by the Environmental Protection ·. Authority, on 29th December Iast year. The Author Ity ·asked the Sh Ire · to reply when It had an opportunity to consider the plan. They also wished to know when the Shire believed It should be released to the publ le. Cable Tourist Austral Ian City Properties wrote to the Shire on 29th January regarding their proposed golf .course. The company said they had been discussing the golf course with the Environmental · Protection Authority over the last nine months. They had also · commissioned their own er.wlronmental Impact study. This, together with the most recent plan for the golf . course layout, was to be sent to the Shire. Essentially, they wrote, ·the study had reached the fol lowing conclusions: a. A high standard golf course could be easily fitted Into the aval Iable land between the road and the dunes. b. 1.t was quite feasible to grass the golf course using untreated groundwater · obtained from our bore. c. This could be undertaken without any adverse affects on the environment. d. Controlled access to the dune system and .the beach resulting from the golf course wlll be beneficial to the environment and wl 11 ensure that the entire dune vegetation Is less disturbed than Is presently tt:ie case. Trips .The Councl I received a request from Northwest Aerial Mustering Charter Service Pty Ltd. This conipany wishes to ffi!ilntaln a helicopter In Broome for 'Joy flights' during the peak ·periods of the tourist season.

The Shire: agreed to the proposal providing the company obtained al I essential Department of Aviation approvals. . ·. · ' Mr Kevin Garstone ·attended the meeting to Inform the Counclllors - of the proposals of his company, Kimberley Hovercrafts; Mr Garstone Is having a hovercraft built. It Is licensed to carry 14 passengers. He has appl led for land In the Marine and Harbours sl lpway area, which has been verbally approved by the Minister. He has also been given approval to operate the craft In Roebuck· Bay. After Mr. Garstone had spoken to the meeting, Councl I agreed to support the proposal In principle, and to endorse the appl lcatlon for the lease of land In the Port Authority area. · Tourists .In The Cab I e Beach Golf Course Beach The Shire Clerk reported that Officers from the State Planning Commission would be visiting Broome In March.

Mr Bridge has asked the Minister tor. Minerals and Energy to comment on how the Department 'of Mines . Intends to monitor the shipment of . ore ·through Wyndham, and this Department wll 1 duly inform .the Sh.Ire. · for Tents The Tourism and Recreation Committee discussed a letter from . the Broome· Tourist Bureau concerning the shortage of unpowered sites at caravan parks In Broome. They said that they had received a number of complaints from 'respectable and bonaflde visitors' wishing to pitch tents, who had been turned away from the Roebuck Bay Caravan Park. The Bureau wrote: "Whilst the park ·has the right to refuse entty, and the Bureau would not expect any park to admit undesirables, there Is a need to ensure that parks are not too selective." . Whlle there are proposals which do plan to cater for budget travellers, Broome . needs to encourage the good will of all visitors. If caravan. parks tend to become ~selective' then one could hardly blame tourists on tight budgets for camping In the sand dunes. The Shire gave It's support to the Motive Group's request for · land adjacent to Its existing fact I Ities at the . Broome Vacation VIiiage, on· Port Drive.

"This offer of help was In recognition of the c>ulstandlng work and progress that had been made by the Mllllya Rumurra group In the fleld of Alcohol Rehabllltalon." The new accommodation has been ·constructed In such· a way as to be ab Ie to accommodate three 111 es and offer each family some private space, Including outside verandah area with shared dining, kitchen and bathing facllltles.

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

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

Vivienne asked, as she wove her way amongst the partying bodies throughout the house. She hadn't seen Lii tor quite sometime, and was beglnlng to worry about her. She stopped outside the bathroom door and knocked softly. There was no answer, but Vivienne could hear sounds from within, so she knocked again a little louder, calling Liiiian's name. The sounds stopped for a minute, then Lii llan called out, "1' 11 be out In a sec, Viv. Just hang on." "It's okay. I was Just looking to .. you." Vivienne tried to get her face in front of ..LI II Ian's, ''What's the matter, Lil? Have you been crylng?" i". LI 111 an Iooked up, sm 111 ng. "No, no; 'd~n 't worry about It. Everythlng's fine. It's Just the .'b.Qoze. In fact I think I'd better have another drink. Come on, let's go and Party!" Vivienne leaned back against the side wal I of the bathroom, with her eyes closed. She could hear the tap running and the splash of water. She thought about the 'big day' tomorrow; how pleased she was to be In the wedding party; how pleased she was for Li I. She knew how much Li I loved Jackson, and how long she had waited for this day. She envied Li I the excitement of the actual wedding day. She envied LI I the luck of having a great guy I Ike Jackson to love. However, when she really thought about it, she did not envy LI I marriage Itself. She had too much to do and see and be, before contemplating being anybodys wife! She hadn't told LI I this; in fact had hardly admitted It to herself before this; but, If Kirk thought they were headed down the same track as LI I and Jackson, . he had better think again! The opening of the door and the sight of Lii's red rimmed eyes brought Vivienne's thoughts to an abrupt end. "Sorry I was so long;' said LI II Ian, turning her face away from Vivienne. Lii i ian walked ahead with a fore~(}. ·but dazzling smile on her face, and Vivienne 'fpflowed, frowning slightly, wondering about Lii's crying. The rest of the afternoon and evening went off wel I. LI I I Ian certainly looked as though she was having a 'ball'. They played crazy games, drank a lot, ate a lot, and laughed a lot Presents were opened and congratulations and advice flowed freely. . It was about 6pm wt)en the phone rang, and Vivienne. answered It. Amidst the nol.se of talking, music and glass clinking, from both ends of the phone call, she managed to hear Jackson asking to speak to LI II Ian. "Here Lii. It's Lover Boy. He can't wait 'till tomorrow!" LI I ilan who was wel I on her way to being quite drunk by no~. picked up the receiver. "Hello? Hello Jae. What are you up to? Drunk yet?" "Hey, Babe. Me? No way.

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

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

This event provoked comment at a recent meeting of the Catholic Parish of Broome. I was amazed that the organisation involved were the "Prison Officers Social Club" and the P.C.Y.C . as recipients of the funds raised. Surely responslhle people like Prison Officers and P.C.Y.C. should endeavour to build up community standards not undermine them. Surely sexual lty revolves around giving of one person to another as a person seen as wothwhi le in their whole person. Surely strip-shows concentrate on sex to the detriment of the total person and people become objects. With the current scare on AIDS and the high Incidence of sexually transmitted diseasesin our community, I consider such an event rather fool lsh. I also feel that organisations like P.C.Y.C. and the Prison Officers have, by their very role in society, a positive task to uplift standards. I don't feel sponsoring such shows does much for the image of either organlsations. Fr.· Michael McMahon Parish - Priest. ·wEE PEE I would like to direct this wee complaint to the local Football Association and to the Shire of Broome. I was horrified and cross- legged to find that the Football Association over-looked the necessity to unlock the female toilets at the footy oval on Sunday. Yet they expect the support of al l the local population to most sporting functions that happen at the oval. There are two toilets at rhe oval, and none of these were open to the female spectators . It's amazing how they came to the conc lusion that because the male population dominate the game tt1ey have the prlvilage of a wee p Iace to re 11 eve themse Ives. Wh i Ie for the fema Ies 'pee marks the squat spot'. I hope that the concerned bodies can give this spectator sport a little relief for the female spectators ( (or we may have to join in the game if it means getting some relief during the afternoon of sporting entertainment with sweaty jocks and pig skin) .

My farni ly ,:ind I spent several days wandering around and were all impressed with what Broome has to otf~r both to the locals and tourists . In an age of fast travel, no doubt Broome is going to be pressuri sed Into becoming the 'Mecca' of tt1e North and with it the inevitable high rise development and commerc Ia I ism. I realize that with the decline in · the pearling industry, that tourism may be the answer to the locals livelihood. Maybe there is a blend of both preservation and development. We as a family certainly hope so because the shops, restaurants etc. have a unique character of their own. It would be a shame to turn Broome into Just another sea-side resort (eg. Surfers Paradise).

I shou ld I ike to take Kununurra Wi Id Life Officers Mike Osborne, and Kirn Courtenay to task with their report, Broome News May '87. I quote; "There was popular support to ban netting comp letely in tt1is area" I have netted tor 10 years (1977 - 1987) on Cable Beach, Ouondong, Oµarry Point and Manari. In .this time I have worked with, locals , fished with locals and have been part of many sporting bodies In Broome. I have NEVER heard of any support to stop netting. I quote also; "A management plan had been drawn up after a meeting with local professionals" What odds do we have here??? Tt1~ee to five profes,sionals as opposed t o how many amateurs? I ask; where do the professionals · net? We all know that it is cer tainly not in the above mentioned spots. In 10 years I have never netted a 'Barra' in these areas. My average catch would be 6 to 12 fish - none of them ' Barra'. Apart trom the handtu I or pro fess i ona Is (who never want amateurs around), who are the other interested parties who want netting banned? Stand up and be named?? With regard to tt1e Draft Management proposa ls, OctFeb; think about .it! Is not this the hottest time of tile year? Do we sit on Cab le Beach in 42° heat and watch a net? Do we catch fish in water in it's highest temperature, when fish are soft and lose their taste?

And as for 4" mesh nets:. what may I ask do we catch in a 4" mesh net In water ankle deep to arm-pit deep? To sum up; In 10 · years ·1 nave never found a reduction in the size of fish I have netted 'on this coast. With al I your management plans you wi 11 not stop i I legal • netting of ' Barra'. lhe law as it Is bans all netting in rivers and estuarys on this coast. This is sufficient apart from perhaps an update on the fine - say $3000. Last September I inspected a net in Bard Creek opposite the windmill. It had obviously been there for months.

This creek. as with Crab Creek area, Wi 11 ie Creek. and the Fitzroy area are al I i I legall y netted regularly as we al I know.

The disease of the 21st Century; It has taken the world by surprise in such a short time. The statistics are fearful, the impression we are given Is that very soon almost every Australian family will indirectly be affected. by AIDS . . Many· have been quick to cal I the AIDS virus 'the judgement of God' on homosexuals and intravenous drug users. But Is this really how God moves today, or is there perhaps another exp lanat ion? Let me es tab I lsh firstly, the Bible is clear that God regards both Homosexuality and drug use as a sin. As we read the scriptures, we find that God's view of sin encompasses a great deal. To Jesus. s in is sin however· 'smal 11 , it is enough to seperate - · however 'sma l I'. it is enough to separate us from an infinitely holy God. You see, man wi 11 always reap the result whenever. he goes aga inst God's plan. Romans 6:23 is unequivocal-' the wages of sin is death-this death here refers not on ly to physical, but also to spir itual death, which is eternal separat ion from God . However, we have the ability to choose · to live according to God's plan, and ' whether we 11 ke it or not, we must bear the- consequences of wrong choices. , The Bible tel Is us that God has provided salvat ion from the sin treadmi 11 through Jesus Christ and his moti ve was love. John 3:16 says 'tor God so loved . the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shou ld not perish but have .everlasting I ife. God certain ly does hate sin, but he loves those caught in the web of sin. This is vital when discussing the A IDS problem. Sickness and disease are not part of Go.d 's plan for the human race; It is not the means he uses to dlscipl ine mankind, but we will bring it upon ourselves as we rebel against God's laws and commandments . We have seen that AIDS even effects the Innocent, this proves that it cannot be the . judgement of a just and holy God against homosexuals and drug add icts.

From the fact that they have consulted us you will guess that our client had contemplated legal action. However on reflection it is now clear that s~ch a step would be prematur and possibly unfair in view of the fact that they themselves may, have been misinformed about your intention and the material which you actuall propose to publish. We should be grateful, therefore, if, before you publish anything of thi kind, you allow us the opportunity of perusing your material. We hope that we can make it clear to you that we suggest this not. with the thought of gaining any advantage but rather the opposite. We shoult · then be able to give you fair warning in advance if there were anything in the material which would be likely to~xpose your group to litigatior an'd, further, our people will offer, where it seems your source may be inaccurate, to provide you with accurate information, which of course you may_check and which naturally you need accept or reject as you wish .

Al I information in the first section of this article Is taken from a· rel Iable text, which hc'\S and is being used by professionals looking Into this Issue. The pub1ication is :- . Kava in the North. A study of Kava in Arnhem Land Aboriginal Communities . AUTHOR: Kerryn Alexanders ·PRINTED BY: The Australian National University 1985. i<ava has been used traditionally In the South Pacific for thousands of years and was an integral part of their culture with rules and ritual which controlled its use ie. it was a drink only for men, no women or children were al lowed to consume it. The plant from which kava is produced Is cal led:PIPER METHYSTICUM FORST PIPER - · Latin for pepper METHYSTICUM . - Greek -for Intoxicant In Aboriginal Sociefy a plant from the same family has long been used traditionally by women In fishing. The plant thrives in warm humid cl Imates, and takes about one and a half years to reach maturity, ie. ready to harvest. In appearance it is a long stemmed plant with flat -heart shaped leaves and smal I flowers. As the plant matures the stems develop into knotty , branches and It has a bushy appearance .. The mature plant can grow in excess of six foot. The root system is made up of rhizomes (a similar shape to sweet potatoes) and finer roots which come off the rhizome. It is the rhizome which is harvested for kava, in FIJI this Is known as LAWENA. The lowest grade can ' -be gathered from · the stem and is known as 'KASA. The strongest grade is made from the fine root system and is known as WAKA. : It -is this grade that is most commonly used ' by Aborigines In Arnhem Land . . Kava has been 'used as a traditional medicine in the Pacific Islands for centuries and has_ many medicinal · pses;- · Analgesic - Painkl Iler Anti -· convulsant - stops fitting ' • Fungicidal - used in the treatment of fungal infections Antiseptic - Used to prevent infections of wounds Diuretic - Used to promote the passing of urine. For the last twenty years it has been exported to pharmaceutical companies in Europe for use in medicines to treat urinary infections. the .. chemica l structure is made up of a series of about twelve alpha-pyrones which are known as _KAVA PYRONES or KAVA LACTONES. the major actions have been described as : MILD, CENTRALLY ACTING RELAXANT PROPERTIES WHICH INDUCE GENERAL_ISED MUSCLE RELAXATION AND ULIMATE- · LY A DEEP NATURAL SLEEP. LOCAL ANAESTHETIC PROPERTIES WHICH ARE EXPERIENC- . ED AS A NUMBING.

Although the I imbs feel very heavy the drinker sti 11 feels very clear headed and rat Iona I. Cl,em i sts however state that the relaxant effe.c ts are mi Id compared to modern prescribed sedatives . Many people are concerned about the effects to health caused by the consumption of kava and very I lttle Inform- · ation has at this time been available on this aspect of it s use . The Northern Territory Hea I th Department has been monJtorilng health problems in Aboriginal Communities_ which · may be kava related. To date there ~as only been recorded the condition 'known as KANI In Fiji which describes a Vitamin B deficiency caused by heavy consumption of kav~ . resulting in_ skin changes. Thes~ skin changes manifest as a pattern- of I ight and dark bands on the skin; the I ight bands are smooth and the dark bands are dry and scaly. Some heavy kava users t,ave reported a discolouration or yellowing of the skin after consuming fresh kava. The cause· for this is that the plant contains two yellow pigment materials which can cause skin . co!our changes if large amounts of kava are used. Health staff have also reported some apparent allergic reactions· fol lowing Kava use and some . puffln.ess of the face as part of that reaction. · The · main health concern however would appear to come from suspected kava r.elated deaths that have been reported in the media. These ·deaths would appear 'to have come in some Instances from consuming kava in stronger than the traditional ··concentration and also · the addition of other substances to the kava such as methylated spirits. It is well known that consuming combination of _drugs can cause serious health problems. CONT. OVER �matgaref I Jlona I nauid J ,Ken I Ct']ris) . .St}aun +,.]od.le...

It has also been suggested that when large amounts of kava are consumed that the pharmacological effects may be· quite different from those described in the kava · I iterature . . Finally, on the methods of kava preparation from a· · traditional stand point. although we are · now moving into an area of large scale commercial processing which of course would be uti I ising more sophisticated methods. Traditionally there were two methods, fresh root method and dried root method. · The fresh root method is the method most commonly · used throughout the Pacific. Users may firstly chew the root until it is a pulp as they believe that the action of sa l Iva increases the potency of tt1e kava (this has not been sclentifical ly proven). If not chewed it can be grated or pounded with stones or coral to break down the fibres. Once broken down, water is · added to make a gluey, brownish mass which is then pressed in a porous material and the juice squeezeq · into a cup. The process is repeated two or three times until the cup is fille·d with a brown, murky thick drink. Before· drinking it needs to be filtered twice again to get rid of any particles. The dried . root method consists of sun-drying the matter and thi:in pulverising it into powder form. The powder is gathered up Into· a · bag · which is then dipped repeatedly• into . water. In this . method . of preparation the kava wi 11 not be as potent as a larger amount of water_ is used. As can be seen from the information contained in this section there do not seem to be grounds at this t-lme, with the level of information available, to ban it on the grounds of It being a danger to health. However in next month's article the social and economic aspects of kava use will be explored and this would seem to be the main grounds on which people condemn this substance. As It has been made common knowledge that a kava import business is being started, various actions have been taken to prepare people of the Kimberley. F- i rst Iy a 11 Commun ities have been Informed and asked to refuse to purchase kava from dealers at this time. This action has been initiated by the Broome Regional Aboriginal Medical Service and the Kimberley Lands Council. Broome Aboriginal Resource Centre is featuring kava as a special agenda item at their next meetir1g on 12tt1 June. A newly established group in Broome, the Broome Youth Substance Abuse Group has also looked into kava and the matter was discussed at their last meeting. Kimberley' °Lands Counci I Is cal I Ing for a unified stand from all Aboriginal groups in the Ki~be.rley to ban the use of kava in the region, and to lobby the government to . make a decision in the near future as to. whether . its import is to be banned or otherwise. · In Broome the following groups are supporting this action:Mi 11 iya Rumurra B.R.A.M.S. Vanessa · B~oome Aboriginal Resource Centre Broome Youth Support 9roup Broome Branch of the Waterside Workers Federation Broome Youth Substance Abuse Group Kimberley Lands Counci I made approaches to the _. Waterside Workers Federation to assist Aboriginal Groups by refusing to unload kava that may come in through the port. Mr John Malone, Branch Secretary of the Water. side Workers Federafion; Broome, has stated that his members will support this action and refuse to unload any kava coming into the port. Through this article we would request that all haulage companies and Air Charter businesses give consideration to also supporting this action by refusing to transport kava. Mr Ossie Osgood of Arnhem Air (Manager) stated that he had refused to transport kava on principle, t1e considered that he had been turned into a "reluctant drug runner". . Both Coastwatch and the Broome Custom House have been alerted to the possibi I ity of kava being unloaded · along the coasf rather than .through the port. · On a political level groups are conti nuing to lobby Mr. Ernie Bridge, Mini ster for Aboriginal Affairs, and the matter has again been brought to the attention of the Health Minister Mr. Ian Taylor. On Wednesday 3rd .June representatives of the West Austral Ian Alcohol and Drug Authority raised the subfect of kava importation to the Kimberley region as a sp_e·c ial agenda item at . · a meeting with Mr. Taylor. Kimberley Lands Counci I and Mi 11 iya Rumurra have been informed . that legislation has not been Introduced at thi s stage to _ban importation as the Government is awaiting the OLltcome of a study to be conducted on the long term ·effects of kava use. Parliamentarians in recent discussions are very ·sympathetic to the concerns of Aboriginal people in this region, but any decisions on thi s issue will not be made at this stage. Therefore it.' would seem that Aboriginal people tt1emselves at tt1i-s time must take the responsi bi I It")I' to see that the use of kava does not spread into Aboriginal Communities. fhe genera I fee Ii ng amongst peop Ie is that they do NOT want this substance introduced, but it wl 11 require aunlfi ed · .stance from ALL people if its introduction is to bB prevented. In conc lusion I would I Ike to present an extract from a letter that was sent from tt1e Council of Angurugu Community to A.P. Imports and Exports, Adelaide, after this company t1ad approached Counci I to offer to supp ly kava at whole sa le price. The response was as fol lows:_"We should I Ike to tell y'ou . that yowr · letter did not make us happy. Under rio circumstances · does the Councl I want to see kava ir1troduced to th.e lr community. We. ask that if you are ever here on any other business · that you never discuss thi s product with us. Of course·. we feel very strongly about the effects this product . is having on other communities. We have enough problems at Angurugu without introducing more".

Councl I lors Butler and Shadforth · were unable to attend. Though everyone had something to say, it was rather a subdued occasion. fhe Minutes for April's Ordinary Meeting were received with few comments. ·The Cadjebut Project seems to have progressed little; but the Council approval of the gazetting of the road south from Port Smith to False Cape Bassut, means that this coastal road is now open to the pub I le. Another Lands Board Hear Ing? . On 13th · April the Department of Land Administration · wrote to the Shire concerning the Lands Board hearing, which allocated 21 of the 29 Light Industrial blocks, and 4 of the 14 General industrial blocks. The Shire · had been asked to consider new appl !cations for blocks which it discussed 'in camera' in April. The Council resolved theri, that the Department be asked to hold a '"mini" Lands Board hearing in Perth later in the year. There it will consi'der any applications for the remaining lots, which have been submitted "over the pub I le counter~ Mini mum Dress for the Broome Library At the May Meeting, the Shire agreed to s·upport the Librarian, Mr. Stefan Jordanoff, In his request for a minimum dress standard for the library's users. The Librarian suggested that I-shirt, shorts and thongs would be an appropriate minimum. No· Foot.p aths Last year·.,, the Shire imposed a condition on Homeswest for their _ subdivision in Dakas Street. It required them to construct a 1.2 meter wide footpath on one side of each street in the subdivision. Homeswest has subsequently appeal led to the l\llir i~ter _ for Local Government -against this condition . On Apt,, 23rd the Minister informed the Shire that the homeswest appeal had been successful. Differential Ratings The Department of Local Government wrote to the Shire on the 1st May about the overcoming of a rating anomoly, in the Dampier Ward. This has been created bv the revaluation of land in the district. "Special r~rai zonings" apply to Coconut Wells and the 12 mile. The Department suggested that Counci I could adopt · a lower rate in the dollar to balance the steep increases In tt1e valuation of land. After some discussion, Councillors agreed to the recommendation to adopt differentiai rating in the 1987/ 88 financial year. s Norm Matchett' Departure Mr Matchett has been manager of the Roebuck · Bay Caravan Park for the last six years. He has resigned from the 12th June to go an manage a new motet· in Meekathara. The Counci I accepted his resignation 'with regret as Mr Matchett has been a competent and hardworking employee during his time in Broome. Writer In residence Council discussed a letter from Mrs. Shirley J Heppingstone . Mrs l'\eppingstone requested that the Sl1ire appoint: .her as 'Writer in Residence'. She is working on a novel _ about the hi story of the pearl Ing industry between 1879 , and 1914. She plans to have the work completed before the - Bi-centennial celebrations next year. The Shire' was concerned that such an appointment not involve any associated costs to itself. After some debate they resolved to ask the novelist for more detailed information about the status and · responsibi I ities of a 'Writer in Residence' . Mrs Heppingstone enclosed a copy of the precis of her nove,1, "ShinJu", as well as a copy of its first chapter. Al Ison Footbal i Assoc. Request The committee · of _tt}e Football Association wrote fo . the Council abot,Jt the Association's financial difficulties . They suggested that once the DC3 has been removed. they be permitted to use the area. The proposal was to set up a temporary bar, immediately fol lowing the last match of the day. Th is would enable the participating clubs to present their awards to the best players, and provide a social_ forum for Individual members of the teams fo get together. _ It would -also help to reduce the Association's debts. The :snire agreed that representatives of the Association , be inv ited to the next "Works and Development'' Committee meet ing, to discuss the matter further. The Ne\N Broome LI feguard Mr J. Massey wrote to the Shire on behalf ·of the new Broome Surf Club, requesting assi stance . The WA Surf Lifesaving Association is prepared to provide Broome with a 11 feguard and fu 11 equ Iprnent between June and September. The Lifeguard would be · on duty between Wednesday and Sunday, from 9am to 5pm.

The girls vvere out in ·ful I force on Fr I day n I ght the 15 May about 300 of them and they vveren' t going to a tuppervvare party! Some of them bought their tickets weeks before as soon as they saw the advertisements. Some stl 1·1 hadn't bought theirs at 5pm that evening. Some were excited. Some were dubious. For some It was just a chance to get out without the 'men' and have a few drinks and a laugh. For some it was a new experience. For some It was 'old hat' and they even knew most of the 'stars' by name! The night In question was 'The Wi Id Boys' Male Revue brought up to Broome as a fund raising event for Jody Thompson by the Broome Prison Social Club. The show was advertised at a start of 7pm but it was quite a few drinks later that things got rol I ing. It was a pleasant surprise to discover .that drinks were very reasonably priced - no dearer than the pubs. The ladles of Broome must give themselves credit for being a thoroughly happy, fun-loving group, who seemed determined to enjoy themselves - just because they · were out - regardless of the entertainment provided. Now to the Entertainment: Some comments I have recieved in the week fol lowing the show; "I had a bal I" "We al I had a good time" "The show itself wasn't that great" It certainly looked to me as though the girls were having a ball. All enjoyed the oppertunity to get up and dance during the 'interva l'. n,e music was certai nly top stuff. However some small but Irritating incidents left an unfavourable image with some ladies - such as a waiter having knocked flying a ful I drink in his rush to get up on the dance floor without any apologies at all! · Kicking the chair out from under one of the audience and watching her slide along the wooden floor on her back without any overt show of concern was not exactly conducive to a proffesslonal att itude! The general concensus seems lo be that the 'Wi Id Boys' show had the attitude of 'It's onlv Broome they wont expect much and wl 11 love it anyway!' Well most did enjoy themselves - just ask 'Lady Lee' · who got so carr Ied away with the muse Ie men in the Ir capes - she thought she could f ly - right off the stage! Naked men can cause a lot of problems for women but a broken ankle would have to be a first!!? J T "I never went to last years, so decided to check this one out. They tell me last years was better" "Was okay - not that crash hot" " .... disappointed ..... most of the girls at my table were. I went · to one 4 weeks ago in Perth.

When Garuda decided to abandon the aircraft in Broome, rnoves were made to uti I ize the DC3 wreck as a tourist attraction the Shire of Broome formally acquired the aircraft. A team of local vo lunteers inc luding the local M.M.A. staff and local aviation enthusiasts such as Murrey Penn dismantled the DC3. repaired It and towed it to · its current- Broome si t e. There was also considerable support from outside 'Broome for the project Including that of Ll dyd Butcher. the Operations Manager tor Ansell Airlines in Perth. From August 1916 until November 1981 tt1e DC3 was the Broome Tourist Bureau. Wt1en the current fourlst Bureau opened the ·oc3 was converted into an aviation museum through the initatlve of Murray Strachan. ' lri the latter part of 1985 the Sl1ire was presented witr1 the di lemma of wt ,at to do witt1 tt1e DC3. Open exposure to -the elements and local · vandals·, has t aken its tol I on the DC3.- Tile covering of the fusi Iage has severe structural erosion. Water has entered tne plane through broken windows and a faulty door · which no longer sea ls properly. TJ1is has resulted In ... clamage to the interior fittings. The Sh Ire put tr,e DC3 up for tender. However the resulting tenders focused on using it as a food outlet and did not appear to be ab le to provide tor the very expens ive restoration of tt1e plane. Local Ansett Manager. Ron Johnston and his collegue · Lloyd Rutcher became keenly interested ln restoring the DC3 . T11eir desire was also shared by local Officer in Char9e of t11 e Department of Transport. .Barry Dawson.

I do not Intend to discuss the merits or demerits of the death penalty in this article, · however in passing I would note that the death penalty has formed part of our criminal Justice system for a lot longer than the per Iod dur Ing wh Ich it has been abo I i shed. Further, there Is absolutely no evidence, to my knowledge, that supports a view that the crime rate drops if severe penalties are Imposed In relation to offences. That having been said, It nevertheless remains· the case that the criminal Justice system stands as the corner stone of our society. Since the abolition of the death penalty imprisonment is the most drastic penalty that a court can impose. Although whipping stl 11 remains on the statute books In relation to certain offences those provisions are an anachronism. In Broome we have a constant reminder of the role of . imprisonment In our criminal Justice system by driving down Hamersley Street where the prison Is situated. Further, a short distance from the prison Is the courthouse and the pol Ice station. The purpose of this article Is to describe some salient aspects of the punishment of imprisonment. In my last article I discussed the basic sentencing principles that Judges and Magistrates apply In considering how an offender should be sentenced. I pointed out the pol Icy of the courts that Imprisonment Is only qmsldered as a last alternative and all other sentencing alternatives must be considered by a sentencing Court before imposing a sentence of Imprisonment. However there are cases where the Court must, by law, Impose a sentence of Imprisonment In relation to a particular offence. Apart from being specif I cal ly ' sentenced to a term of Imprisonment by a Court In relation to a criminal offence, a person can end up In custody In at least three other ways. Fistly that person may be kept in custody awaiting a criminal case to be determined. Secondly an offender may be fined and if he fai Is to pay . the fine then he Is. I Iable to serve time in prison according to the amount of the fine. Thirdly, In a· clvl I case In a Local Court, a Judgement ·debtor may be ordered to pay the amount of the 'judgement and In default to serve a short term of Imprisonment. In the civl I case, spending time In Jal I does not extlng.u lsh the debt. In criminal cases, In determining the length of term of Imprisonment to , be Imposed on an offender a court takes into account the .nature and clrcumst~nces of the offence and the age, criminal record, background and circumstances of the offender. In Imposing terms of Imprisonment Courts are mindful of the effect that prison can have in re-enforcing criminal tendencies rather than allowing a person the opportunity for ·rehab., I itatlon. Bui It Into terms of Imprisonment Imposed by a court are what have been seen to be Incentives for reform. A person sentenced to a term of Imprisonment with no minimum term Is, In most cases, entitled to a one third remission of his sentence for good behaviour. That Is, If a person Is of good behaviour In prison then he Is more likely to be released earlier. When longer terms of Imprisonment are Imposed the court considers wether It should Impose a minimum Impose a minimum term. In considering whether to term the court wl 11 take Into account slml lar factors In relation to the offence and offender as I lsted above. If a minimum term · Is Imposed then at the expiration of that minimum term of Imprisonment the parole board can release the offender on parole for the balance of his term of imprisonment. During parole the offender Is required to abstain from breaching the · law and to 'report regularly to his parole · officer. Other conditions of parole may also be Imposed. If the parolee Is sentenced to a term of Imprisonment during the period of . his parole then his parole Is automatically cancelled. · Remission for good behaviour can also apply to minimum terms of Imprisonment and Is usually at the rate of three days per calender month. Prisons In Western Austral la have different security ratings with the highest security rating being maximum security for prisoners that are considered a security risk. Fremantle prison Is an example of a maximum security prison. · As I stated In my previous article Western Australia has one of the highest Imprisonment rates In Australia. It Is Important therefore that members of the public are generally aware of the nature of Imprisonment and Its role In society. It . Is also important that people are aware of the I Imitations of this form of disposing of offenders. Michael King �THE GOLDEN ·PEARL SEASHELL MUSEUM ANO . OCEANARIUM 927127j ~ • .

Parent help is needed to apply for assistance from government and private agencies. Chuchuus is a community based centre, with the parent committee being responsible for pol Icy decisions, budgetting, lobbying for support and fundralslng. For some time now these functions have been carried by the Direct- or and one or two parents. This Is not only unconstltutional but also a considerable strain on the already hard working centre staff. Chuchuus Annual General Meeting on 2nd June had to be cancelled due to poor attendance. Of the 95 parents who use the centre only 3 were present. Another meeting will be held on Wednesday 17th June at 7-30pm In the · Continental Hotel function room. At least 10 parents ;must be present to approve an appl lcatlon for Sales Tax Exemption. This will save considerable money when buying craft materials and play equipment for the children.

After months of controversy and confusion swirl ing around the Annual Shinju Matsurl Art & Craft exhibition/ competition it looks like everything is going to be just fine. Early in the year the problem of securing a suitable venue for the Arts & Craft was compounded by the severe shortage of an Arts and Crafts , Co-ordinator. Time was running out , the Indigenous Arts and Crafts community was in open rebellion and the picture looked black. Then, just when the whole thing looked to be going down the tube, a volunteer stepped forward in the person of Jodie Rogers. In no t-ime the Arts & Craft ex hibition/ competition was up and running . (Jod ie was involved in the 1985 ShinJu Art & Craft exh ibition). Now the new revamped Arts & Crafts Shinju Matslirl Show wil I open at (where else?) THE BROOME ART GALLERY on the first day of the Festival - August 7th - at 2pm. and close on August 14th at 12 noon. Thete. Is a long list on changes In the competition this year and a wide selection of categori es includea new section In 'non-precious Jewellery design' being judged by local craftsman David Shaw , who teacl1es and is a Jeweller with Broome Pearls . General categories wl 11 be assessed by the very capab Ie and ex per Ienced Robert Vallis from 'down south'. Entry forms and the latest category Information avai Iable at the Broome Shire office on or after June 15th. Entri es .close on FRIDAY 24th JULY. Good on ya Jodie! *Stal I appl Ic ations for the Shlnju Carnival . keep rol I Ing in. Those contemplating making .a move should make a move soon. *Have you 'ever wondered what the ShlnJu Matsurl Float Parade would be I Ike with a large vari ety of s trange, exotic and , in some cases, totally irrelevant costumes? Wonder no more. Co.ming to Broome over the Shlnju Matsurl Is a huge number of costumes including (get ready for It) up to fifty chi cken su i ts . Kind of makes you stop and think doesn't It? These and more wi 11 be avai Iabl e in those thr i lling days lead ing up to the Shlnju Float Parade. More on these costumes l ater . *Whl le on the subject of Float Parades, does anyone remember last year' s hunt for a new dragon head for Sammy · the Dragon? Brian Coppin came to the rescue In the end but thi s year Sammy faces a new and tougher adversary. Somewhere in Broome right now there is another creature being created that may r ival Sammy for top serpent berth In the ShlnJu · Float _ Parade. It could be Sammy the Dragon's greatest cha I lenge. Detai Is are sketchy at the moment , but don't be surprised if .. . well , just don't be surpri sed! ✓ S HIN J U RAFFLE M EL TS S ECRE T AR Y' S HEART The Secret ary's job on the Shinju Matsur i Committee is full of many strange biol ogica l sensations (already my ski n has become at least a ha l f an inch thick). but noth ing can compare with t11e fee l ing that happened last week when my heart me lted.

West Kimberley coast. ·His. Derby Tourist Village will be located on a 250 hectare site bourrded by the Gibb River and Derby/Broome roads. It wi 11 include a 250-bay caravan park, bungalows for car and bus travellers, unique recreational and cultural activities including an ampitheatre, 18 hole golf course and aquatic centre.

Also included on the site are the famous Myal I Bore · and Boab Prison rree. wliich will remain accessible to the pub I ic.

The two new McAlpine resorts, and others he is plan. ning at gorges along the Gibb River represent the first major tourist developments in the West Kimberley and can be expected to focus· international tourist interest on this unique area. :z. 7 �SIMON POELINA A PROFILE Most Broom i tes are fam i I i ar vvith the sight of Sirrlon Poe1 Ina riding his yel lovv bicycle to and ·f rom his favourite fishing spot at Damp1er Creek on the Chi natovvn foreshore. However, few people would be aware that Simon has been riding that hike since 1957 when his step-son Mervyn Hunter .• won it in a raffle at St. Mary's School. Indeed Simon even rode the bike to Derby when he was working on the construction of the deepwater jetty at Derby in the early 1960s. Recently, Simon celebrated the 50th anniversary of his arrival in Broome from eastern Timor on 27th March 1937 on board the steamer boat "Gorgin". Simon was then Simon Pu Ii ng and during the years Austra Ii ans interpreted the name 'Puling' as 'Poelina'. The Puling tam i Iy were from Al ore . in Ti mor which was then under Dutch colonial rule. From a young age Simon and his three brothers and three sisters helped out with the family's rice, cor;0 and peanut crops. All the four boys in the family went to Australia to crew luggers and boats. At 16 years of age, Simon signed a contract to work as a pearl diver in North West Australia for 2 years. When Simon first arrived in the north west he worked for the pearling master, Mr Vic Clarke. He was a pearl diver on luggers which took him as far as Cossack, Roeborne and Onslow. In about 1940, Simon and about twelve other lugger crewmen purchased two adjoining weatherboard houses for" .£ 300 ($600) from a Chinese man named Pong Joe. These houses stood on the site in Dampier Terrace that is now occupied by the Roebuck Hotel beer garden and bottle shop, and they became quarters for the crew men during the lay-up season. With the Japane~fo entry into World War 11 al'I the pearling ·luggers were commandeered .t>y the Government. Simon and other crewman sailed a lugger down to Fremantle. From there he went by steamer to Melbourne where he worked as an engineer in the Dutch Navy. At the end ·of the War simon recal Is that the pearling masters "looked for all the boys from Broome and got them back". In 1946 there was a lack of labor to crew the luggers and pearl shell was fetching $1200 to $1400 a ton. Simon signed on with the firm of Streeters and worked tor many years aboard the B9 lugger "Bonza". The lugger had a skipper and a crew of eight Asians . Simor:i remembers how he would often dive below as early as 5.00am and then come up for a breakfast break and later a lunch break with the working dey finishing at 5.00pm. The pay was .£ 3/10• ($7.00) per month. SIMON POELINA AT HIS· CREEK IN THE EARLY 1 ARE NOW BANNED. A PAINTING BY AN UNIDENTIFIED ARTIST OF SIMON"S HOME ON THE SITE NOW OCCUPIED BY THE ROEBUCK HOTEL BERR GARDEN. THE PAINTING WAS DONE AFTER THE HOME WAS DEMOLISHED AND THE BACKGROUND SCENERY DOES NOT DEPICT WHAT EXISTED THERE AT THE TIME. �FISH 70 s. TRAPS SUCH IN DAMPIER FISH TRAPS Around ,-954 Simon met Dorothy Hunter, a widow from Derby who is the sister-in-iaw of the ' 1ate Robin Hunter. Simon and Dorothy set up a home together in one of the semi-detached houses on the Roebuck Hotel beer garden site and the other one was let. Simon became step-father to Dorothy's children Ernie, Mervvri, Victor, Eric, Glenyis and Terry Hunter. At one time Simon was diving wi'h his step-son, Mervyn Hunter, who started diving at fifteen years of age. Simon and Dorothy also had six children of their own. Their eldest son, Petrus and eldest daughter . Ann were born in Broome. From about 1957 to 1962, the family I iveC:l in Derby and worked on the construction of the deepwater jetty. The third and fourth children in the tam i Iy, Susan and Nevi II e were born in Derby during this time. Then after the family moved back to Broome, Vanessa and Gayden were born. Providing for their large family led Simon and Dorothy to set up a laundry business in their Dampier Terrace home. CI othes were bo i Ied in a copper, hand scrubbed, starched then ironed with flat irons. The business thrived on laundering and mending the tropical "whites'' . that were traditionally worn in Broome. This laundry business operated up until 1972. The family's I ivel ihood was also assisted by sel I ing fish caught in fish traps set by Simon in Dampier Creek. Clearing the fish traps was a regular chore for his boys. A big ice box in a smal I shop front located near the present day Westpac Bank carpark was a popular fish supply for Broome. · Amidst providing for his family, Simon maintained an active commitment to the Anglican Church In Broome. He greatly assisted with the gardening and maintenance of the Church. On Anzac Day in 1975 Simon was granted the "Licence of a Lay Reader" by the Anglican Bishop of North West Australia, Howe I Witt. This enabled him to conduct funeral services when no clergyman was available in Broome, especially for his fellow countrymen. Consequently the Anglican Church assisted Simon and his family in 1973 when a dispute with the Shire of Broome over non-payment of rates led to the Shire resuming his house and land. Soon afterwards the Poe I ina's house was bulldozed so they moved into the old Anglican Rectory next to the Anglican Church in Hammersley Street. Srmon remained in the Rectory house until it was demolished in 1983. In recent years Simon has retired and now gains sat i stact ion from the way the many years of hard work by he and Dorothy has reaped a well regarded family. In the Hunter section of the family Ernie has completed over 25 years service with the Pub I ic Works Department, Mervyn is a ski lied machinery operator in the pearling industry, Victor works with the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, Eric works for the Main Roads Department, Glenyis was one of the Western Australian delegates to the Aboriginal Women's Task . Force, and Terry Is an experienced station hand and stock worker. The two eldest children in the Peol Ina section of the family have taken up nursing and Petrus Is a registered enrol led nurse while Anr:i who is currentl ~worklng in Sydney is a qua I i fi ed nurse educator. Susan Is · a kindergarten teacher and Neville is currently working as a gardener. Vanessa was the ShlnJu Pearl Queen entrant for the Tourist Bureau last year. Of special significance the family is that Nevi I le has also become a pearl diver and the Poel inas are believed to be the only family in Broome where there has been a father and son in pearl diving. Today Simon has separated from Dorothy and I i ves with Nevi lie and Jenny Poellna in Placanla Street. He enjoys fishing more than anything else and goes fishing nearly every day. Simon's days of leisured fishing and relaxing with his family and friends, have been well earnt after so many years of commitment and hard work .

Birds of the Dampier Peninsula LJ[n)@ [Ri~~~~(Q)~ ~~~ □ ~~LI~[Ri The Rainbow-Bird has a Ilk1ng for both w I Id and t"loney bees. A habit that rnakes It unpopular with apiarists.

'-1'-HT '- ~ ~ --· . ---·· ·· OA.~.,G:~<f<iN The R.alnbow Bird or Bee-eater, is a ,breath taking colourful bird. common to Broome and most of Australia except Tasma.n la. It's graceful gliding flight contrasting witt1 its dive bomber assault on bees. pastel shades of plumage and the two long needle like feathers that project beyond the rest of the tai I make it a favourite. even witl1 the most casual observers of nature. Late In January, when breeding is tinished, , ·and during February and March , there is a general exodus of the birds from 1he Soutt1. Whl le large numbers of Rainbowbirds migrate~ to the Solomon Islands I New Guinea and the Celebes, many re.main in tlie northern parts of Australia throughout the year. Their migration arcoss the Torres Stra It is t abu Ious with thousands pass Ing overhead dally. The return movement takes place in the spring, from August to October. Flocking is very evident, both · during migration and in the non-breeding season. The cal I is a musical tri 11 and quite pleasant when uttered . by many birds lo1 a flock as they settle ·tor the night. The cal I is not uni Ike a muted 'post Ies' whistle. Open country. river flats an<I areas of forest with clearings are favoured by Rainbow-birds, which I Ike to rest on exposed perches: from these they dive on passing Insects. Mostly food is taken in n1e air tl,ougt1 birds are occasionally seen on the ground, apparently eating ants. Often, apiarists make the_ false conclusion that the Rainbow-bird° only eats bees. however it is a fact that it also captures large numbers of Insects, including dragon flies and rodeer flies, both known predators of bees. Beetles. wasps . . termites, plague loc usts. moths and butterflies are eaten and tl1e birds will even fly Into water for food . An entomologist t1as recorded that he once aroused the interest of a pair of Rainbow-birds which followed him. capturing every butterfly and moth disturbed from tl1e underqrowth and · whi.ch escaped his collecting net. lbe nest . is a tunnel in alluvial soil and ,is usually abo1:t :} feet In length, but often longer, terminating . inah enlarged chamber.

Usual I~-' tour or five glossy whJte eggs, measuring .some 22mm. by 19mm., are laid, and It would seem that incubation begins soon after the laying ol the first egg, the fact being that . young birds varying In· · size have_been noted In nests. , ·-1he cries of the nest I ings being fed sometimes attract, predators such as foxes, which then dig directly down· to the nest. Goannas are suspected of taking young birds, digging in a like manner to the fo xes . Snakes r1ave also been found in nesting tunnels. Nests llecome littered with food remains, mostly the llard parts of beetles and other insects. as wel I · as excreta from t11e nest_lings. ll1is refuse often attracts scavenging fli es, whose larvae · perform the duties of a sani tarv squad. Banding has · revealed that mated pairs of Rairibowbirds wi 11 return to a nesting locality previously used. Southern Australia enjoys a noisy and colourful event when t11ese lovely birds return to t1·1eir breeding burrows. For many people rainbow bee-eaters tierald the begir1nlng of spring. The flocks are usually conspicuous, tor the · birds often sit on fences and telegraph wires In noisy groups, or wheel and swoop in search of flying insects. Bees, wasps, hornets and r_elated insects make up 80% of their diet: they are immune , to bee and wasp strings. Their insect food contain-; most of' the moisture they require, so they seldom, If ever need a drink. Sometimes a Rainbow-bird wi 11 dart out to cc:1tch a flying Insect then take it back and whack 11 against the perch. This helps ki 11 the Insect and may even remo\·e its stinger before !I is swallowed. fhe Rainbow-bird or Bee-eater Is about 25cm !ong with a sharply pointed decurued bill of 4cm, plus two narrow tal I feathers extending out 2 .Scm.

It is often seen In coas tal situations, and locally, occurs on the landward s lopes of sand-dunes, in vine thicket areas, and on the banks of smal I · freshwater creeks. . The Mistletoe Tree grows. from around Broome and the Dampier Peninsula. across North~rn Australia, down into Queensland, and into the north of N.S.W. Around Broome, this tree may be seen behind Town Beach, and in tt1e thi cket areas near Gupungi Road. 'Ex ocarpos' occurs in the Plant Family 'Santalaceae', with the closely related "Northern Sandlewood". The family is parasitic, usually on the · roots of other trees. In fact, as the Mistletoe Tree's leaves are green, and so contain chlorophyl I, the trees are best regarded as .hemiparasitic. The trees are not common, locally, and tend to hide The dark-green, ·a1~ay among the rest of the vegetation . roundish, oval leaves, do not stand out we! I among those of other' trees. These leaves have many para I lei veins. The tiny · creamish-yel low f lowers are grouped together on spike-like inflorescence heads, from March to July. fhe hard fruits that form, from Apr i I to August, have a swol ien fruit-stalk, larger than the seed itself, which resembles the local Cashew fruit. In fact, the name 'Exocarpos' comes from the Greek "exeo" (outside). and "carpos" (fru it). This swollen stalk, 'lllhich turns a bright yellow-orange to orange -red when ripe, is edible although it does not have much of a taste. However, local birds I ike to eat the se "fruits". The tree is known by various local names, including l)jamba, or DJanba. It has been known locally, as a medicine tree. Tile bark was gatl1ered, and bumt slowly, to "smoke", and so to hea I. the numerous bod i I y cuts and sores. that often occurred. This smoke has also been used to repel mosquitos. In the Northern Territory, an infusion of the bark was even used as a contraceptive . The wood from this tree was occasionally used, locally, to manufacture boomerangs, and in the Territory was also used for the hardened .peg on the end of the woomera , or spear-thrower.

M2r ie Bart let t Secretary On the ' 21st May and the 2nd June representatives of all but 3 sporting clubs met at the Continental Hotel to try again . At the moment enthusiasm is high and why . shouldn't It be! fhere are numerous benefits of a Sports · Association. ·Jund raising activities can be organised so sports clubs do not clash, sponsorship can be more effectively pursued and. eqlctipment can be bought and shared Just to name a few. The Broome .Shire Counci I and the Educat ion Department · have contributed $255,000-00 each tor the development of a sports complex In Frederick Street. This will consist of · a full sized , fully grassed football oval, 6 f loodlit netbal 1/ basketbal I courts and an ablution block. Mr T Bowers from the Department of Youth. Sport and Recreation Indicated at the Initial meeting that hi s department could possibly contribute 1/ 3 of the cost. There is a general feeling amongst the sports clubs in Broome that instead of the Department of Youth, Sport and recreation contributing 1/ 3 of the cost of this development they should contribute the same amount as the Broome Shire Councl I and the Education Department, I.E., $255,000-00. This would mean that instead of $510, ooo-00 being spent, $765,000-00 would be aval lable. The extra funds then could be uti I ized by bui !ding a Soc ial C lub housing badminton, volley ball , indoor basketball , darts etc. Not only would these sports have a permanent place tor their competitions but the hall could be used for social functions and · become a valuable tundra i set.
