Paradise Planning Wedding Package for 2014

Grylls resigns from cabinet By Ben Leahy Member for the Pilbara Brendon Grylls said a heavy workload and travel schedule had led him to last week resign as leader of The Nationals and as a member of the WA cabinet. He now takes up a position on the backbench and said he plans to move to the Pilbara to be more available to the people of his electorate. He also said he was proud of the key role he played in creating the Royalties for Regions program, which sets aside 25 per cent of mining royalties for regional areas. “We have built the foundations of a sustainable regional WA into the future, and I am damn proud of that,” Grylls said. “However, what happens in this life is you get to the point of realising when your time is coming to an end, and where the opportunity is for the next generation of leaders to come forward. “I don’t think that just sitting in the leadership and staying there is a sustainable option.” The decision to step aside caught many by surprise, coming just eight months after Grylls made the gamble to leave his safe seat in the wheatbelt and stand for election in the Labor-held Pilbara. Some commentators had even tipped Grylls as a potential candidate for federal politics after he led The Nationals from being a party in trouble in the 2005 state elections to one that held the balance of power in 2008.

The Nationals were able to use their leverage in 2008 to then secure three ministerial positions, including the regional development portfolio, as part of the Liberal-led government. They also pushed for the creation of the Royalties for Regions fund, which generated $1.12 billion in the past financial year. The program has been used to help fund a series of major projects in the Pilbara, from the Karratha CBD redevelopment and hospital upgrades to multimillion-dollar sports facilities. Grylls claimed in the lead-up to the state election last March that his role in cabinet was key to ensuring the program continued to benefit the Pilbara. “I am determined to deliver … with Royalties for Regions, and sitting at the cabinet table is the only true way to drive the sort of change that is needed in the Pilbara,” Grylls said in an ABC Mornings broadcast in March. Now he has stepped aside, the Liberal Party is yet to confirm if The Nationals will retain the regional development portfolio and, with it, control of the Royalties for Regions purse strings. Grylls, meanwhile, said he was looking forward to a break from the travel and demands of his former ministerial position. “Having your diary compartmentalised in half-hour logs for 12 months in advance, and missing important events because of that – that’s tricky and difficult.”

Dampier hub moves forward A new community hub for the town of Dampier is one step closer following the approval of initial concept plans by the Shire of Roebourne Council at its November meeting. The project will now progress to the detailed design phase, where engineering, design and facility fittings, fixtures and finishes will be finalised. Shire of Roebourne president Peter

Long said the community hub would be an iconic building in the heart of Dampier that would facilitate a range of community uses. “[It] will be the first major development in Dampier for nearly two decades, so it’s important we produce a facility that will accommodate the needs of the local community and improve the level of service and amenity for the town,” Cr Long said.

“We are working extensively with the Dampier Community Association and local community groups and [the council is] confident we have a concept that will support the community now and into the future.” The concept for the new Dampier Community Hub includes an early learning centre, new community library, multipurpose and not-for-profit spaces, coffee

hut and refurbishment of the existing community hall. The community hub project is part of a partnership between the Shire of Roebourne and Rio Tinto, which will deliver significant community infrastructure improvements in Wickham, Dampier and Karratha as well as a range of new and improved cultural events and community services and programs.

Recreation precinct planned for Roebourne

The children of Roebourne are looking forward to a new community precinct that will have the capacity to host more youth functions. A recreation precinct for the town of Roebourne will start to take shape next year with the development of a community skate park and kitchen. Shire of Roebourne Council endorsed planning concepts for the Roebourne Recreational Precinct, which also includes the redevelopment of the Roebourne Community Aquatic Centre and Community Hall. Shire of Roebourne president Peter Long said extensive community consultation with local residents and stakeholders had contibuted to the plans. “We have held more than 30 consultation sessions with indigenous

corporations, private and government stakeholders and community groups to establish a vision for the Roebourne Recreational Precinct,” Cr Long said. “Initial planning is already underway for the first phase which will include the development of a community skate space and outdoor community kitchen.” “We have had overwhelming community support for the redevelopment of the Aquatic Centre as well as the Community Hall so will also start to explore options for the best use of those areas.” The precinct will be rolled out in phases over the next 10 years.

Late-night drive ends in tragedy Police are investigating a fatal crash at Karijini that claimed the life of a 26-yearold East Victoria Park man. The man was driving a Toyota Hilux ute southwest along Karijini Drive in Karijini about 4am on Sunday, November 17, when he apparently lost control of the vehicle, causing it to travel onto the gravel shoulder and roll over several times.

The car came to rest in bushland on the side of the road. The man was taken to Tom Price Hospital, but died from his injuries later that morning. He was the only occupant of the vehicle. Local police are investigating the cause of the crash. So far this year 144 people have lost their lives on West Australian roads.

Dampier residents hope to preserve the town’s relaxed lifestyle and family-friendly atmosphere, while also attracting more shops and services, according to the results of a community meeting held on Friday, November 15. With the state government looking to revitalise Dampier, the meeting was designed to give residents a chance to have their say on the town’s future. Dampier Community Association president Conor O’Brien said the most common theme from the night was the desire by residents that any future development should not detract from the town’s safe and family-friendly lifestyle. He also said residents were keen to see more essential services located in town rather than in Karratha, 16km away. “It is all about lifestyle – about maintaining the character that Dampier has while not losing any more of its services and preferably regaining some of the things it had in the past,” Mr O’Brien said. The meeting came after Dampier was last year found to be Australia’s richest town by household income, even though it lacked basic services, such as a post office, doctor’s clinic and bank. And despite being one of the oldest mining towns in the Pilbara, Dampier’s population has declined over the past decade, leading several retail shops and essential services to close their doors. Much of the growth and investment generated by the past decade’s mining boom has instead

centred on nearby Karratha, amid plans to transform it into a regional centre with a population of 50,000 by 2035. Investment in Dampier has been slower, however, due to much of the town’s infrastructure being historically run and owned by Hamersley Iron. But with the Shire of Roebourne and state government body LandCorp now looking to revitalise Dampier, Mr O’Brien said it was important to consult the community. With motivational guest speaker Peter Kenyon encouraging debate, O’Brien said the meeting brought out plenty of ideas. “There was 10 per cent of the population of Dampier there on Friday night,” Mr O’Brien said. “That is a reasonable representation of the population when you combine it with other consultative exercises we’ve done. “From the 100 people there on Friday night, we had 200 ideas, of which there were probably 60 or 70 big-ticket ideas. Mr O’Brien said plans to move the sewage treatment plant away from the centre of the town and the creation of a more beautiful waterfront with extended beaches and grass areas were among the “more realistic” ideas. He said the community association would publish all the suggestions in a paper that will be available for public comment in early December. With the community association receiving $200,000 in funding from the Shire of Roebourne, Mr O’Brien said it would also use the suggestions to help inform its operational plan in 2014-15.

Teachers meet to protest against state school cuts

funding needed for schools. She said Premier Colin Barnett had refused to sign up to the Federal Government’s so-called Gonski school funding plan, which would have brought around $600 million in education funding to the state, because it was not high enough. “The Premier fought Gonski all the way saying it wasn’t enough money and then here we are having him pull millions of dollars out of our schools,” she said. Labor Member for Mining and Pastoral Stephen Dawson was also at the meeting and said the Government planned to cut $103 million from education spending in 2013-14. This included an estimated loss of 600 teaching positions, 350 education assistants and 94 Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers. There is also a $16 million cut to funding for student support programs, equivalent to a 30 per cent cut per school, while schools will also need to pick up a collective bill of $13.25 million to go toward long service leave pay for teachers. Union president Gisborne said next Tuesday November 26 was planned as a day of action. In Perth, the union will present a petition with signatures of people against the cuts to parliament, while morning teas were being planned at schools across the state. Gisborne said the government had already backed down in areas, such as cuts to solar panel tariffs, and she hoped they could be forced to do the same in education. “It is absolutely possible to reverse the cuts,” she said. “They cuts are very short sighted because they affect the vulnerable in our society and what will be a short term win in treasury will be a long term loss for our communities.”

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS (M, Drama)

ON SALE NOW

Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalisation. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

By Ben Leahy Teachers and parents have continued to oppose Budget cuts to the state’s education system at a meeting in Karratha on November 20. State School Teachers’ Union of WA president Anne Gisborne told more than 40 community members at the meeting that the State Government’s cuts would likely have greatest impact on school’s literacy and special needs programs. Cuts to the funding of special programs at Pilbara schools ranged from $17,162 at Yandeyarra community school and $74,035 at Roebourne high to $105,011 at Hedland Senior High, according to union estimates. The union also estimated that the education cuts would lead to a total loss in funding for Pilbara schools, ranging from $141,896 at Roebourne high and $320,743 at Karratha Senior High to $327,007 at Hedland Senior High. Gisborne said a particular worry for teachers and parents was that in some cases they may not find out until the start of the 2014 school year which programs and teaching positions could be cut. “What was evident from last nights meeting is that, in some schools in the Pilbara, the school communities are still not clearly aware of how the cuts are impacting,” she said. “They may not hear until next year what the cuts mean in terms of which programs may not run or which may be reduced in their schools.” The cuts come as a slow down in the resources industry and drop in income from the good and services tax puts pressure on WA’s state debt, which is predicted to blow out to $22 billion in the 2013-14 financial year. Education Minister Peter Collier said in August that the decision to tighten the state’s purse strings was justified because WA already spends $4.4 billion on education “One out of every four dollars of the State Budget goes to educating our children - our responsibility is to ensure that the money is used effectively,” Collier said. However, teachers’ union president Gisborne said the Liberal and The Nationals parties had been sending mixed messages about the level of

A: You are right. There are advantages and disadvantages with both options. If you buy established, you get an income now but the house might not be an ideal investment and you could miss out on the full depreciation benefits. If you build or buy new, you can build exactly what you want, where you want it, plus claim the full depreciation benefits. If you decide to build and partner with a builder who is not experienced with investment properties, it could take you extra time. You might need to modify one of their existing home designs or start from scratch, and you might not take possession of your investment property for another eighteen months or more. If you choose a builder who is experienced with building investment properties, they should have a range of specific home designs ready to choose from and once you have your block secured, your tenants could be moving

Psychologist brings fresh thinking to Pilbara businesses

Psychologist Christine McKee will speak at the Women’s Network lunch.

Hundreds of women in business will come together on Tuesday, November 26, for the Pilbara Women’s Network lunch at Ibis Styles in Karratha. Psychologist and holistic practitioner Christine McKee will be the event’s keynote speaker. McKee’s speech, “You Are Not Your Brain”, takes guests on a tour of the conscious mind to demonstrate the importance of understanding why people think and act the way they do. Small Business Centre West Pilbara manager Rachel Whiting said the theme for the upcoming event would challenge people’s thinking. “Understanding the reasons

behind people’s actions can go a long way to building long-term relationships in both business and personal situations,” Ms Whiting said. “We may not always agree with the actions or comments of others, however it is important to take their perspective into account. “Our business community is built on the foundations of strong relationships, and this will continue to be an important element of our success as a region as we continue to diversify.” Two business development workshops facilitated by McKee will follow the lunch. “The workshops are very

affordable for businesses thanks to the support of our event sponsors, so I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity,” Ms Whiting said. “Although the luncheon is for women only, the workshops are not exclusive and I hope to see a number of men also in attendance.” Christine McKee will present Conscious Communication for Business and Relationship Success from 5-7pm on November 26. Creating Balance in Busy Times will run from 7.30-9.30am on November 27. Both are at Lotteries House. Tickets are $30 for KDCCI members and $35 for non-members.

Christmas craft market’s last hurrah Pilbara residents have the chance to buy handmade gifts next Saturday, November 30, as the Karratha Arts and Learning Centre holds its ever-popular Christmas markets in Bulgarra. With many new stallholders setting up alongside regular craft makers from previous years, the 2013 markets are booked out. This means there will be more high-quality, locally made crafts and goods to choose from than ever before.

Among them will be Baggirl’s handmade bags and diaries, Sturt’s Desert Pea’s cards, quilts and quilted items, Sewn by Sam’s ladies’ wear as well as pottery, ceramics, jewellery, candles and much more. The event is extra special for organisers, as it will be the final KALC craft market for the foreseeable future. With many other markets now becoming popular in town, KALC are happy to take a break with

Nat and Lorraine at last year’s Christmas markets.

organisers wishing to thank all the customers, stallholders and customers who helped make past events a success over many years. The Christmas markets run from 9am-1pm at the Karratha Arts and Learning Centre in Richardson Way, Bulgarra. Organisers are expecting a crowd and encourage customers to come early to get the best choice of goods, but not before 9am, as the stallholders will still be setting up.

CHOPPED! By Tamara Binamat

Australian comedian Heath Franklin certainly delivered the laughs the audience came for when he performed his hilarious parody of criminal-turned-author Mark “Chopper” Read’s life. The Ronnie Johns Half Hour host joked about nightclubs, bogans and aeroplanes but when the Karratha crowd decided to throw a few questions at him, Heath Franklin exclaimed that though the set had got “very weird”, it was not a bad thing. Franklin performed in Port Hedland and Karratha before going on to Perth.

Outstanding Ovation By Ovation Having finished its second year as a performance company, Ovation is putting on a spectacular show on Saturday, December 7, called Fantastical Fantasy, to celebrate another year of achievements. The community event features three acts, including a fantasy inspired work, a smashing tribute to the 1980s and Ovation’s float paradewinning Festivals of the World performance. Taliesha Hunter, Alisha Thorn, Jessica McAlpine, Ella Cartledge and Mya Kjellgren are among the cast of Fantastical Fantasy dancers. This talented bunch brought back a bag of trophies from the WA Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dance competition in July, making their Ovation teacher Leah Nagy very proud. Another Ovation dancer with good reason to celebrate on the night is 10-year-old Nathaniel Crummer. He made it through a nationwide audition process this year to be accepted into the prestigious Australian Ballet School Interstate

and jazz and for its internal ballet exams. Principal ballet teacher Megan Wood-Hill also passed her two-year Royal Academy of Dance ballet teaching course with flying colours. Kirra Doherty, 14, also recently completed her RAD intermediate foundation exam, accompanied by pianist Michael Brett. By audition only, Kirra has now become the youngest student ever to be accepted into the full-time ballet program at the prestigious Terry Simpson Studios in Adelaide for 2014. Ovation welcomes the Karratha community to celebrate these achievements and enjoy the inspiring Ovation spectacle at St Luke’s College on Saturday, December 7, from 6pm-9pm.

Many people don’t realize that they have options to stay in Australia – often as a permanent resident.

• • • • • • •

Being a migrant myself, I understand the difficulties involved in moving to a new country. I have been living and working in WA as an Australian registered migration agent for over 10 years and have assisted several thousand people to obtain temporary and permanent residence visas. My commitment to you is that I will give you a clear assessment of your visa options and whether you have a good chance of success. If I don’t think your application will succeed I will tell you this up-front. My firm specializes in Permanent Residence visas such as Employer Nomination (186), Regional Sponsored Migration (187), General Skilled (189/190) as well as Temporary work (457) and Partner Visas. If you are interested in understanding your visa options, please give me a call

Up-and-coming BMX star Dylan Bennetts claimed the Junior Sportsman award after competing in the BMX world championships and coming second at the nationals. Gymnast Erin Gethin was named Junior Sportswoman after picking up third place in the vault discipline at the state titles. Shire of Roebourne president Peter Long said the awards not only honoured sporting achievements but brought the sports community together to share ideas on how they can grow their organisations. “Our sporting clubs and associations, players and umpires, volunteers and spectators all play a vital role in ensuring our region is not just a great place to live and work, but also play,” Long said. “These awards are a fantastic opportunity to sit back and take stock of the year gone by and recognise those people, who make our sporting environment so great.” Gymnastics mentor Janet Nicholson was also a winner on the night, named Coach of the Year, while Mark Pieters took home Umpire of the Year for his junior soccer work.

Bluewater Tackle Exmouth Fishing Report Ph: 9144 4411

By Jenni Gates

9A Crane Circle

The water visibility has been sensational this week, according to divers and anglers. Leigh Mitchel, Matt Arscott and Ross Lawrence all ventured out with Matt Gates and had 25m visibility off the islands. They brought home some tasty mackerel, green jobfish, trout and bluebone. Spearo anglers (spear fishermen) are gearing up for the Freediving Fiesta weekend competition on November 30 and December 1. Entries are due in early to help with catering, so get into Tackle World and fill out an entry form. You could win a spearo package, even if you don’t compete. Jack Dandie turned 15 last week and spent the weekend spear fishing with his parents in the gulf. Jack has grown up to be a very capable diver and angler thanks to his mum, dad and brother Alex, who also enjoy most of their time on and in the water. I’ve mentioned the blue marlin fishing before, and it is really worldclass fishing, with nearly all the fish being caught from trailer boats. The average size of the blues has been up this year compared to last year, with some monsters being hooked as well. Large yellowfin tuna and some solid wahoo are also making their presence felt while anglers chase the blues out wide. Spanish mackerel and longtail tuna up to the 20kg mark have also been encountered on the bait throughout the sailfish grounds in the gulf.

Junior spear fisherman Jack Dandie with his weekend catch. The sails are still being found in big numbers in the gulf, though billfish anglers have been keener to get out among the big blue action. The gulf has also had some good catches of coral trout lately, especially on the vexed jigs. These jigs work well in the deeper waters for trout off the Muiron Islands and Tantabiddi side, but the reports in this week have been of trout on the smaller jigs in the gulf. Soft plastics also work well on trout in the gulf, while the everpresent trevally species tend to take a grab at these too. The west side has been a bit windy for shore-based anglers at times this week, but when you get a good window of weather combined with dawn or dusk, the results can be pleasing. When the winds are strong from the south, the best option is the tip of the cape and, though it is a bit of a walk, it is very peaceful up there and some good fishing can be had.

Cricketers have a blast Hundreds of Karratha cricket juniors flocked to Pegs Creek Oval on Wednesday to swing their bats in a series of T20 games. The T20 Blast competition ran from 6-7.30pm with much of

the fanfare of the multimillion dollar Indian Premier League, including music blaring from speakers, games played under lights and parents enjoying a community barbecue. The games also help raise

money for the young players to travel to Junior Country Week early next year. The T20 Blast competition runs every Wednesday from 6-7.30pm. For more information email wpjca@hotmail.com.au.

centres and use their inspirational stories and achievements to say to the kids that at this age the world is their oyster,” he said. “They can achieve anything in sport or in life in general. Living in a remote area doesn’t need to hold you back.”

Karratha netballers are still buzzing after Australian national player Caitlin Bassett put them through their paces at the Leisureplex earlier this month. Standing 1.92m, Bassett plays as goal shooter for the Australian Diamonds and Perth’s West Coast Fever and cut a towering figure over the region’s juniors. Yet with a beaming smile and friendly personality, she quickly won them over during her clinic. After spending an hour answering questions and putting the juniors through their drills, Bassett took another session with the region’s senior players, going through more detailed drills and techniques. Earlier, she had accompanied Olympic 400m runner Ben Offereins, BMX rider Khalen Young and javelin competitor Kim Mickle who shared stories of their journeys with students at schools in Karratha, Dampier, Wickham and Roebourne.

Pros step up to the plate for Pilbara clash Hedland residents flocked to watch a rare professional-level baseball game on November 16, as Western Australia’s Perth Heat took on a USA All-Stars team in a tight, entertaining encounter. The USA All-stars eventually prevailed on the day with a hard-fought 1-0 victory. But while the home team might not have got across the line for a win, the Heat were still bowled over by the support from locals, who crowded into every vantage point at South Hedland’s Marie Marland Reserve to watch the game. The Heat and USA players also ran community and school skills clinics across two days, while a celebrity softball game and community barbecue were also popular drawcards. With thousands attending the free events, acting Tourism Minister John Day said the visit was a major boost for the Pilbara region. “To have a high-profile national team like the Perth Heat visit the Pilbara is a great achievement and our thanks go out to the team and Baseball WA,” he said. He said Pilbara baseball players were also well represented in the visit. WA’s Kennelly brothers, Sam, who this year signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Matt, a free agent previously

signed with the Atlanta Braves, and Port Hedland’s Jesse Barron and Brendan Wise were all involved in the trip. The Heat and All Stars visit was sponsored by Royalties for Regionsfunded body Eventscorp, Tourism Western Australia, the Town of Port Hedland and Fortescue Metals Group. The Heat now hope to secure ongoing funding to enable them to play an annual game in the Pilbara.

The Perth Heat vs USA All-Stars game drew a crowd in Hedland in what was a low-scoring game dominated by the pitchers.
