West Pilbara schools closed due to heavy rain Schools across the West Pilbara including Dampier, Karratha, Wickham and Roebourne were closed during the week due to minor flooding caused by unusually high and consistent rainfall.

SES volunteers from Karratha had to respond to calls of assistance within the area and hundreds of people have been affected by water leaks into their homes and businesses.

Wickham Primary School Principal Lisa

McMillan said that the school was closed on Wednesday 16 February but reopened the following day.

“There was no major damage to the school apart from localised flooding in the playgrounds and some water leakage into the classrooms” she said.

“As the school was only closed for one day, luckily there has been minimal disruptions to the school programs.”

Nowhere to stay Last Thursday (10th February) I had an urgent matter for a friend of mine to seek accommodation in town for one night.

For personal reasons the trip was completely unexpected from his side so he had no time to book accommodation and unfortunately couldn’t stay with myself as we already had other guests staying with us.

He desperately needed a place to stay for the night so we started visiting every accommodation provider we could think of in Karratha, but had no such luck.

Unfortunately everywhere was full, so we decided to try the Salvation Army’s Women’s Refuge thinking maybe they would let him stay there after they heard his situation.

We arrived at the refuge but no one answered the door, it looked like it was abandoned.

Although it was closed, I started to think, why do we have a refuge shelter for women in Karratha but not men?

Is this fair?

In the end my friend found a room in Point Samson which cost him quite a bit.

This was because every accommodation provider in Karratha had been booked out by workers.

It really frustrates me because we have various working camps that are supposed to cater for the workers.

Why are they not staying there? Is the demand in the camps higher than the supply?

The Karratha Women’s Refuge is funded to provide short term crisis accommodation for women and children escaping domestic violence.

Many clients are in a very vulnerable state and due to the nature of the issues they present with dictates that we can not provide any emergency accommodation for men.

On the night when there was no response, there could have been a variety of reasons such as a staff member attending to someone else whether in the refuge or out in the community, and there are times when the refuge is on high alert and male visitors can look very intimidating to our staff and clients.

This was actually the case last week.

We do agree however that there is a lack of accommodation options in Karratha particularly for men and we support the opinion that improved viable options of emergency needs are required.

Thanks again Network Manager Karratha Women’s Refuge

The Pilbara Poet

by Elise Batchelor

The rain we’ve been having has brought us many things, both amazing and challenging: From emerald hillsides and sublime skies to collapsed rooves, flooding and exponentially multiplying soggy washing.

Here is a little rhyme of finding that extra special moment of joy in our crazy rainy summer.

A Puddle of Bubbles The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

Were we there, we would care and get out in it the same as the rain in my yard which is pelting down hard, soaking boots and basil shoots so my picnic plans are marred.

the rain in Karratha makes you want to laugh, huh?

Sinking soggy ceilings soaking stuff which lets in drafts…nah… and the rain to Carnarvon has fed the cows once starvin’ now fat feasty happy beasties, least they’re out there laughin’.

And the rain, once again, is dripping in the plane on the head of a bloke who goes by the name of Wayne.

And he laughs, nervously, and looks out the window, see, at the lightning, frightening; makes him need to pee.

Now, as the rain on the plane on Wayne or down the drain is clapping, lapping, I’m chilling just the same.

For the rain where I now sit fills my bath, drip, drip, so I pour my bubbles til they doubles, feeling not a git.

For the rain up north has been winding back and forth bringing warnings, stormings and flooding which, henceforth, has made a swamp of my lawn from the dusk to the dawn and it’s sploshy, galoshy. Is that a floating prawn?!

You see, I’ve found me a hole out the front, not too cold and surprise surprise, it’s tub size and truth be told…

It’s quite nice sitting here in my puddle deep and clear with my bubble bath and wine carafe, umbrella at the rear,

For the rain in Hedland looks a bit like bedlam, slapping, lapping, trees and roads and beach sand and the rain in Wickham’s pooling thick in slicks and spraying dirt with mud that’s girt by road trains’ tidal flicks and

wearing little, which is fine, for my clothes are on the line - everything - so not a thing left to keep me dry this time.

So I’ll sit til it stops counting down the last raindrops, til the rain’s back in Spain…and the sun’s dried my tops.

Can you identify this man?

After staying a night at the Best Western, Karratha, a woman and her family woke up in the morning to discover a flat tyre on their 4 wheel drive vehicle.

They tested for any punctures but no such luck, until the owners discovered that their tyre had been purposely let down.

The woman explained her predicament to front desk and they agreed to look through their CCTV footage which was conveniently angled towards the car.

After a few minutes of searching they soon spotted their culprit.

A young, slightly intoxicated, caucasian male, aged early to mid 20s is seen at 23.48 heading towards the car and at 23.50 he is then blatantly seen letting the tyres down on the vehicle.

Letting the tyres down on a vehicle is illegal and classed as Criminal Damage.

If you recognise this person, please contact the Karratha Police Station on 9143 7200.

The Police encourage victims of crime to always come forward and report any offences.

Even outwardly unlawful acts committed by people against others is of great concern and interest to them.

Cattrall Park closes for redevelopment • The playgrounds don’t currently have any shades due to the cyclone season

Children to be protected from sun with permanent shading in playgrounds Parents can soon be safe in the knowledge that their children are protected from the sun whilst playing in public playgrounds thanks to the Shire of Roebourne, as they spend more than $1.4million on permanent shade structures over 10 playgrounds in Karratha, Roebourne and Point Samson.

The permanent shade structures will replace existing shade sails which have previously been an easy target for vandals and have had to be taken down during cyclone season, ironically the hottest time of the year.

Work is to begin in Karratha early next week with parks on Richardson Way, Dodd Court, Smith Place and Malster Place closed to the public during construction which is expected to take around four to six weeks.

A staged construction schedule will see fencing installed at Ausburn Park, Hillview Park and Miles Loop Park on 21 February, followed by closure of the Andover Way Park, Roebourne Aquatic Center playground and Point Samson Community Park on 28 February.

It is expected that work on all 10 playgrounds will be complete by mid April 2011.

Shire of Roebourne President Nicole Lockwood said the provision of adequate shade was critical to playground safety.

“Each year there are more than 200 days when the mercury soars above 30 degrees across the Shire of Roebourne and many of our playgrounds are deserted from October to April because the equipment is too hot to use,” she said.

“As a mother of two I know how important safe, well designed and accessible playgrounds are to families with young children.”

Councillor Lockwood said the Shire’s playground shade project was just one of many exciting new community projects that would deliver immediate improvements to public amenity and lifestyle options across the region in 2011.

The $1.4million permanent playground shade project is supported by the Australian Government through its Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program and the Shire of Roebourne.

Cattrall Park has now been closed off to the general public for at least three months as work has commenced on the $2.2million redevelopment.

Shire of Roebourne President Nicole Lockwood said the Cattrall Park redevelopment woud deliver first class public open space for all residents to enjoy.

Parking on Balmoral Road has been restricted to around 20 bays, so locals are encouraged to use the car park off Galbraith Road, near Pegs Creek Primary School.

“The complete makeover will include the construction of a children’s playground, barbecues, more seating and shade, path network, new plantings and enhancement of existing plus lighting throughout,” she said.

Pegs Creek will not be impacted by the redevelopment and will remain open for public use.

“The Shire of Roebourne is working hard to create

inviting open spaces to encourage locals to take advantage of the Pilbara’s enviable outdoor lifestyle and living opportunities.”

Councillor Lockwood asks locals to be patient during the construction phase and cooperate with site contractor, Environment Industries site access and safety requirements.

The $2.2 million Cattrall Park Redevelopment is part-funded by the Shire of Roebourne and the WA Government through Royalties for Regions.

New catalogue to showcase housing in Karratha People wanting to build at Karratha’s Baynton West estate will now have a range of affordable housing choices to browse through in a catalogue, thanks to the Baynton West Builders.

The catalogue features a number of innovative housing products from 19 builders participating in the area’s Pilbara Display Village.

Prices start at $338,000 for a four-bedroom, twobathroom home in the LandCorp development.

As a new concept for the Pilbara, Lands Minister Brendon Grylls said the initiative was about promoting affordable and climate-responsive design and, most importantly, showing the increased housing choices now available in the region.

“A major goal of the State Government’s ‘Pilbara Cities’ initiative is to attract more builders and introduce more housing styles and choices in the region,” Mr Grylls said.

“The catalogue clearly shows we have delivered on this promise.

“Buyers looking to build their new home at Baynton West can go to the LandCorp website and download the catalogue to view a

variety of housing styles and specifications designed for different tastes and budgets.

“A selection of the designs featured in the catalogue will soon be on show at the Pilbara Display Village where people can walk through homes and determine design aspects to suit their building needs.”

The Minister said construction of the display village was under way with completion expected in mid2011.

North West MLA Vince Catania said the Pilbara Display Village brought together builders from across the State, generating greater choice of competitive options.

Mr Catania said the State Government was committed to attracting more builders to the region as well as supporting established local builders, to deliver affordable housing options, specifically designed for the Pilbara climate.

In particular, builders were

Recent rainfall turns national park green With the recent rainfall at Millstream Chichester National Park and surrounds over January and February, the countryside is now vibrant and green, with waterholes full to overflowing.

“While the country does look good after looking very dry for the last few years, and we understand people are naturally curious and keen to have a look, these areas will still look amazing after the rains have finished.

“Some of the roads to the park may be closed by the Shire at times, so access will not be possible in any case.

About 160 mm of rain was recorded at Millstream Chichester National Park headquarters over January alone.

Python Pool was observed to be full just before Christmas, and the waterfall into the pool has been running intermittently ever since.

Mr Godley pointed out that the water in pools is still murky and contains sediment at the moment, and will likely take some time for the water to clear.

While this might seem to be a great time of year to get out and about, access to the Millstream area of the park is continuing to

“People may be disappointed after travelling long distances only to be turned around and denied access.

• Python Pool is flowing again be problematic, with water levels in the Fortescue River rising quickly after rain, restricting access on several occasions already this year.

Mr Godley said that it is essential that travellers contact park rangers prior to visiting, to get an update on the latest road and river conditions.

“During a recent weekend, ranger staff closed the park roads after another flow of the Fortescue River, and turned back 6 vehicles that were coming out to

Millstream.

“None of the occupants had attempted to call the park before venturing out, and were not aware of the rising river.

“This was despite the rainy, overcast conditions and rain in Karratha the previous night,” Mr Godley said.

DEC Regional Leader of Parks and Visitor Services, Alex Bowlay, emphasized the need for local people to ensure national parks and roads are open before venturing out at this time of

“Vehicle access in certain places will only end up damaging roads, and people may put themselves and their vehicles at risk,” he said.

Mr Bowlay has also advised local workers and residents to be prepared for changing road conditions in Pilbara national parks at any time.

“Successful applicants can use the funds for ‘airside’ projects such as installing runway lighting, upgrading airstrips and erecting animal exclusion fencing.

“The grants can also be put towards eligible ‘landside’ improvement projects such as developing terminal buildings, Royal Flying Doctor patient transfer facilities and installing security equipment.”

Transport Minister Troy Buswell reinforced the scheme’s importance in ensuring regional communities had the opportunity to upgrade their airport facilities.

“For many isolated communities, air services are an essential connection to the outside world,” Mr Buswell said.

“I urge members of regional communities to approach their local authorities if they have a proposal to improve local aviation facilities.”

Regional Development Minister Brendon Grylls said the Regional Airports Development Scheme (RADS) funding was aimed at improving aviation infrastructure and services to ensure regional airports were developed and maintained to support communities, business and tourism.

“RADS grants are an excellent way to improve regional Flying Doctor access, enhance regional development and help boost tourism.

Widening of North West Coastal Highway contract awarded A $755,000 contract to design and document the widening of Onslow Rd and a section of North West Coastal Highway has been awarded to Sinclair Knight Merz.

Transport Minister Troy Buswell said the contract involved the design and construction documentation for widening of the full length of Onslow Road (79.4km), and North West Coastal Highway from the Minilya Exmouth Road Intersection to Barradale (14km).

providing greater separation between passing vehicles and eliminating the deterioration of the shoulders.

“This work will be especially beneficial for vehicles towing boats and caravans and improve road safety for locals, tourists and the increasing amount of the road’s traffic.

“As a result, transport and economic efficiency will be improved and the road will operate at an improved service level.”

“Main Roads proposes to widen the nominal 6.2m seal to a nine metre seal on a 10m pavement,” Mr Buswell said.

The contract commenced at the end of January 2011, with work expected to be completed by August 2011.

“The widening of the roads will provide a safer environment for road users by

Financial assistance available to help new community groups

K

Up and coming community organisations can now apply for financial assistance through a new scheme introduced by the Shire of Roebourne.

Roebourne Shire Council President Nicole Lockwood said the Community Groups Assistance Scheme would support the establishment of new community groups, clubs and associations.

“In its infancy, a new community group will often be faced with the financial burden of incorporation, insurance and equipment, at the very least, which can cost thousands of dollars,” Councillor Lockwood said.

“This grant will help fledgling community groups cope with establishment costs they may not otherwise be able to afford.

“As a result, this scheme could be the difference between a new group taking off or stumbling at the starting blocks.”

Cr Lockwood said time was running out to apply for grants from the new assistance scheme as the third-quarter community funding round closed on Friday 18 February at 4pm.

“Grants are also available to existing not-for-profit sporting and community organisations, associations and committees,” she said.

“These groups are the heart

and soul of our community and they make the Shire of Roebourne a better place to live.

We are proud to support them.”

Cr Lockwood said in the October round of grants, the Karratha Amateur Swimming Club received a grant for club swimmers to travel to their annual Country Pennants meet, to be held in Kambalda next month.

“In the same round, the Salvation Army received a grant to help fund its Carols by Glowlight event, held in Dampier in December last year,” she said.

“These are just two of the many grants received by the community from this scheme, designed to enhance the development of individual and community wellbeing.”

In the 2009/10 financial year alone, the Shire of Roebourne helped almost 30 individuals, groups and organisations achieve their goals, host events, purchase new equipment, improve facilities or amenities or get specialist training or coaching.

Mad dogs and Englishmen

By Donna Kelly There were no mad dogs but two Englishmen went out in the midday sun when they visited Karratha last week.

Journalist Patrick Barkham and photographer Graeme Robertson, from London’s The Guardian Newspaper, spent just over two weeks in Australia courtesy of Tourism Australia.

The pair visited Queensland before making their way to the Pilbara for a five-day trip to take in Aboriginal rock art, experience the resources boom, check out the Red Dog story and visit the historic towns of Roebourne, Cossack and Point Samson.

Mr Barkham, who spent two years in Australia ten years ago, said both he and Mr Robertson were overwhelmed by the hospitality of the Pilbara.

“We have had such a warm welcome to the region, we have been invited to homes for barbies, and eaten fish straight off the boat and wonderful steaks,” he said.

“It has been amazing.”

Did you know?

The Guardian, originally named The Manchester Guardian was founded in 1821, and in January 2011 the certified average daily circulation was 279,308 copies.

Mr Robertson, who admitted to being surprised “thongs” were banned in some Australian hotels, said the biggest challenge for a photographer in the Pilbara was the intense light but he had taken some of his best photographs in the region.

A rainbow appearing while taking photographs of the North West Shelf Venture LNG project from the air was just one of many spectacular moments, he said.

“I am pretty lucky – things just happen for me,” he said.

Mr Barkham and Mr Robertson were also lucky to procure the services of Rio Tinto cultural heritage specialist Dr Ken Mulvaney who took them, and staff from the Karratha Visitor Centre, on a tour of Deep Gorge’s petroglyphs.

Dr Mulvaney showed the journalists rock art which varied in age from 1000 years to 30,000 years.

They were also introduced to Aboriginal art on East Lewis Island by Dampier resident Brad Beaumont – followed by a swim in azure waters.

Articles and photos from the Australian trip will appear in The Guardian, one of London’s largest newspapers, over coming months.

Karratha Visitor Centre general manager Kyle Barnes, who coordinated the journalists’ visit, said the international coverage was a real coup for the region.

“To have readers of The Guardian finding out about what we have on offer here is a great bonus for tourism to Karratha and surrounds,” he said.

“Both Patrick and Graeme said this was the highlight of their trip to Australia – and they hoped many readers would also find themselves keen to experience the Pilbara, and its varied experiences, for themselves.”

Big plans to expand tourism in Karratha With the tourist season soon approaching, the Karratha Visitor Centre (KVC) have recently recruited more staff, including Dampier local Zoe Bell as a Tourism Trainee.

Zoe Bell, aged 18 began her traineeship at the KVC early February and will remain there for the next nine months.

Whilst at the KVC, Zoe said she will be promoting the tourist attractions the region has to offer as well as publicising the KVC brand.

She will also be promoting the new ‘Secrets of the Pilbara Coast’ brand, jointly developed by the KVC and Roebourne Visitor Centre.

“I’ll use the knowledge that I learnt at St Lukes College to promote the tourism in Karratha, by organising events and making the KVC more of a part of the community,” she said.

“We’ll be attending and helping out at more events to get our name out there and organising events through

• Fiona Collins, Anna Winkler, Zoe Bell and General Manager KVC Kyle Barnes.

the tourist centre like new tours.”

After Zoe’s nine months training she will study at the Edith Cowen University (ECU), Perth and gain a Batchelor of Events, Recreational and Sports Management.

As part of Zoe’s training, she will be involved in events management as well as front counter duties to gain a good overall knowledge.

KVC’s General Manager Kyle Barnes said that having Zoe will bring another side to the team.

POLICEWATCH Karratha Police want to remind members of the public of fines and infringements so to avoid being issued one.

I will start with informing you about street drinking fines, these fines can be issued to anyone drinking alcohol in a public area.

A public area includes reserves, footpaths and roads.

Street drinking also includes drinking in a vehicle that is on a road.

It is illegal to drink alcohol whilst in a vehicle whether you are the driver or the passenger.

If you are the driver of

a vehicle and you have allowed others to drink in your car or bus you are liable for a fine of up to $2000.

These fines are out there to protect members of the community that are enjoying a walk in the park or along the street, they do not want to bump into any intoxicated people or walk over any smashed bottles.

If you are caught drinking in a vehicle, park, reserve or on the road you could be hit with a fine of up to $2000.

Statistics: Karratha Police receive reports of all different offences and these reports are entered onto our

database.

The officers will then investigate the crimes and locate the offending parties.

The reported offences last week included three Burglary; two Assault; three Damage; eight Stealing; and one Trespass.

Last week Karratha Police arrested or summonsed 26 persons with 36 charges.

These included; six Unlicenced Motor Vehicle; six No Drivers Licence; three Excess 0.05%; five Excess 0.08%; one Driving Under the Influence; one Assault; two Arrest Warrants; one Dangerous Driving; one Posses Prohibited Weapon; and

10 Other charges.

As you can see Karratha Police were busy arresting and charging offenders for the reported offences as well as other charges that Police deal with on a day to day basis.

“It will be good to have her in the mix and to make up an eclectic team,” he said.

“A good eclectic team normally compliment one another”.

Kyle explained that once Zoe has completed her studies at ECU, he hopes that she will return to the Pilbara as a tourism professional.

“In the same way that it is our aim of the Karratha and Districts Tourism Association to incubate new tourism orientated businesses, we aim to incubate Zoe as a tourism professional.”

“I particularly like those

that capture the essence of the Pilbara.”

Each artist selected to exhibit will have their work on display at the airport for six weeks and they may choose to have their pieces for sale or for exhibition only.

“As one of the busiest regional terminals in the country, Karratha Airport now functions as a hightraffic exhibit space for local artists,” Cr Lockwood said.

“I am pleased that through this space we are able to help artists reach out to a larger audience and generate more excitement and interest in art and photography here in the Pilbara.”

Cat burglar caught red handed A thieving cat has been caught on camera, stealing over 600 items from neighbours’ homes in a California town, reports said.

Dusty the cat burglar was videoed by a nightvision camera carrying everything from a bath sponge and a toy dinosaur to a neighbour’s bikini top down the street in San Mateo, south of San Francisco.

“Towels, gloves, shoes, socks and children’s toys,” owner Jean Chu told local ABC News television, listing the various household goods her pet has brought home.

“He took my mum’s swimming clothes,” added

one neighbour’s five-yearold, after the cat was finally fingered for the theft of some 600 items over the past three years.

Infrared video of Dusty showed it carrying a string of stolen goods in his mouth, including one item of clothing so big and long that the cat’s back feet were splayed as it hobbled along the sidewalk, dragging its bounty.

Neighbours have renamed Dusty “Klepto the cat” after he was caught red-pawed following an investigation

by Animal Planet, which featured him in one of its TV shows this week.

Government Rebates Boost Property Investor Returns ADVERTORIAL

Not a lot of investors are aware of the tax free rebates that are available for property investors under the Governments National Affordable Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS).

Under the program, investors receive over $100,000 over 10 years tax free when considering the annual ‘rental CPI’ indexation in the program.

“When all things are considered, the NRAS scheme turns negative gearing into positive returns”, according to NRAS developer Steve Fairbairn.

“The investors get paid to achieve capital growth and this makes the program a real boost for investors that want to build up their property portfolio for their future financial needs” Fairbairn says.

Fairbairn, who represents the Greenfield Capital group that have an NRAS approved project in the resources ‘golden triangle’ in Queensland says, “that when you analyse the investment, over 1/3 of the cash flow comes from rental income and the balance is split between tax claims and the tax free NRAS rebates paid by the State and Commonwealth Governments”.

On top of that, the investor picks up $3000 or more per year in net positive cash flow depending on their incomes.

“Most property investors are faced with “topping” up to cover interest and expenses with around $100 per week being typical of the amount required from the investors pocket”, according to Fairbairn.

“The net advantage to NRAS investors is therefore around $150 per week compared to typical property investment”, claims Fairbairn.

Investors can participate in the NRAS program for a limited time as development applications were cut off in December 2010 and the Gillard Government has cut back approvals from 50,000 to 35,000 as part of the recently announced spending cuts.

“Stock is very sought after and the best packages go fast”, says Fairbairn.

“With the cutbacks, there will be even more demand than what we saw in 2010 when the smart investors got into the program and some have even come back for a second bite”, Fairbairn explains.

Free Weekly 19 February 2011

A multicultural feast by the pool

• Students Sara, Karn and Moon

English class caters for all cultures Pilbara TAFE celebrated different cultures on campus recently as it held an open day for new students in its Certificate in General Education for Adults (CGEA).

Lecturers Lindy Chan and Stella John said it was wonderful to welcome so many students to the course, from those with English as a second language to those with English as a first language who want to brush up on their existing reading and writing skills.

“The wonderful thing about this CGEA class is that it has two different angles so we can teach both streams of learning,” says Lindy.

“One aspect concentrates on students who wish to improve their current levels of literacy and are looking for extra employability skills, while the other gives students practise with speaking and writing English.”

“There are people from many different backgrounds coming to this course, including people from Cambodia, India and Indonesia (to name a few places!),” Lindy says.

K

“We also encourage Aboriginal people to come along, as well as those women returning to the workforce after being fulltime mums.

It’s a great place to learn in a friendly environment, with lecturers who really care about your progress.”

Students Moon, Sara and Karn were very enthusiastic about being at Pilbara TAFE. “This is the chance to improve our English and share stories with new friends,” says Karn.

“It’s also the place to get more education so we can find out what other courses are available once we are more confident with our writing skills.”

Travis from Karratha was another smiling face in the class.

The popular Karratha lad said he was looking forward to building on the skills he’d learned last year.

“I like the fact that everyone’s friendly and I can learn about computing as well as writing resumes and building a work portfolio,” says Travis.

“I know that the skills I’m learning here will put me on the right pathway to getting a job.”

For more information about classes that can teach you how to communicate more effectively in English and improve your opportunities for employment, call Pilbara TAFE on 1300 304 244.

On 13 February the Pilbara Multicultural Association (PMA) held their first event for 2011 at the Karratha Aquatic Centre.

Those present at the pool enjoyed their day with a sausage sizzle and food from India, Brazil, Philippines and South Africa.

Everyone at the pool savoured new dishes and met new people on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon.

The PMA’s objectives are to celebrate our uniqueness as different cultures, to exchange and integrate ideas and traditions; to improve intercultural communications and understanding, languages and personal contact with our own and other ethnic groups; to provide opportunities for all migrants to foster social integration with the multi ethnic composition of the

• Peope from different cultures joined at the Karratha Aquatic Centre

Pilbara and to promote the diverse range of cultures to the wider community.

The next event will be held on 19 March on Harmony Day. More details will be released through email and media near the date.

If you are interested in joining the PMA, memberships are $20.00 per family per year, or if you would like to know what the PMA is up to, please send email to pma. karratha@gmail.com or contact Josie Kittle at (08) 9185 4539.

Dampier Primary welcomes new teachers Dampier Primary School has not only welcomed the new students in the first term but three new teachers also.

Nathan James, Philippa Browne and Mick Cuneo are making 2011 their first year teaching at Dampier Primary School.

Nathan James, originally from Margaret River has previously worked as a relief teacher in Gingin and Perth before moving to the Pilbara.

He’s already been in Karratha for a year teaching at Karratha Primary and is now looking forward to teaching years four and five at Dampier Primary.

“I really enjoy teaching maths and science and trying to make it enjoyable for the students,” he said.

“Hopefully I will be able to pass on this passion and get the students engaged and excited about these subjects.”

Philippa Browne from Balclutha, New Zealand is no stranger to the Pilbara region either having previously taught at Roebourne District

• Nathan James, Philippa Browne and Mike Cuneo begin their first year at Dampier Primary School

High School.

Philippa will be teaching year two at Dampier Primary School and has already begun their first project which she says she is learning more about each day.

“Our topic this term is Australia so I am looking forward to learning more about this country” she said.

Finally, Mick Cuneo from Perth has taught at many schools before including Lake Grace DHS, Scaddan PS, Esperance SHS, Westfield Park PS, Gnowangerup DHS

and Atwell College (SHS).

This year he will be teaching years five and six with their first project being all about natural disasters.

Fairly new to the region, Mick is looking forward to experiencing the sporting activities the Pilbara has to offer.

“Being an ex footballer I’m looking forward to following the local footy,” he said.

“I’m also looking forward to playing indoor cricket and head out fishing.”

Local parents and carers of children with a disability or chronic illness can now access support and information at the MyTime peer support group in Tom Price.

The new group is jointly provided by Ngala and the Parenting Research Centre and is held weekly at the Nintirri Neighborhood Centre.

MyTime is a national program of facilitated peer support groups for mothers, fathers, grandparents and anyone caring for a child with a disability or chronic illness, such as down syndrome, autism or cystic fibrosis.

The groups provide a place for parents and carers to get together, talk about issues and ideas, get up-to-date, research-based information, and support each other.

Each MyTime group has a facilitator and a play helper.

The facilitator helps parents get to know each other and offers information and ideas for group discussion.

The play helper leads the children in activities, so that parents and carers are free to engage with each other.

Warren Cann, Executive Director of the Parenting Research Centre, says that caring for a child with a disability or chronic medical condition brings “an extra level of intensity to a parent’s role”.

“The intense nature of the role means it can be hard for

and beyond

parents and carers to find the time to get out and socialise with others.

This can lead to feelings of isolation and frustration and increase the risk of depression.”

“Research shows that supportive community connections are critical for parents and carers of children with additional needs.

MyTime groups provide a place for them to celebrate milestones and day-to-day achievements, and to support each other during the hard times.”

Tom price My Time facilitator , Tracie Gibson says that MyTime groups provide parents with an opportunity to become more connected to their local community.

“This local MyTime group will help parents, not just through friendships with other parents and information sharing, but also through links to services and programs in the area.”

MyTime is funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and nationally coordinated by the Parenting Research Centre.

To find out more about this MyTime group, or to arrange an interview, please contact Tracie Gibson on 91892153 drop into Nintirri Neighborhood Centre, Tom Price.

Singing Cicada’s “The hills are alive with the sound of music” well... the music of the cicada’s at least.

To some it is an incessant racket, especially when some species can make a sound in excess of 120DB! (anything above 85DB damages the human ear).

There are over 200 species of cicada’s in Australia and they differ from other types (in the world) due to our continent’s diversity of climate and terrain.

Only the males can ‘sing’ and different species have different songs.

They are the only insect to have developed a specialised means of producing sound.

The noise is made by a pair of ribbed membranes at the base of the abdomen and contracting these ‘muscles’ creates the sound.

They sing during the heat of the day, while others sing at dusk.

They tend to sing simultaneously as to confuse those that predate upon them, the idea being that it’s harder for birds to locate them when their noise is echoing around the trees.

Cicada’s live for about 5 years but spend most of this time underground, thus the reason why adult cicadas are more abundant in some seasons.

The adult cicada’s only live for a few weeks.

• Different species of local cicada’s Adult cicada’s feed on a huge range of plants by piercing the stem/leaf and sucking the sap.

Female cicada’s lay eggs in the stems of plants and when the lava hatch they fall to the ground and burrow in.

The nymphs then grow slowly eating the roots of plants.

When the nymph reaches full size it digs its way to the surface, usually during the night, where it climbs a tree (or whatever is close) to shed its skin for

I’m sure there are some of you that have wondered what that brown empty shell a foot or so up the wall of the house, patio or bush was from.

In some countries the fatter female cicada is a gourmet delight.

I suppose they are right up there with the crispy fried grasshoppers, cooked or uncooked witchetty grubs, baked spiders etc, but I don’t fancy eating them, leave that to the birds...

Thunder will never deter keen golfers

By Norma Bilsborough Each week brings more and more golfers to Karratha on Saturday afternoons.

A tremendous field of seventy one golfers competed in last week’s Stableford Competition sponsored by McDonalds Karratha.

Once again the field was divided in two with half playing the front nine and the remainder playing the back nine.

The day started perfectly with overcast skies and a pleasant breeze making it a joy to be out on the golf course looking at the stunning views over Nickol Bay to the Burrup in between shots.

Half way through the afternoon the black thunder clouds over the

Karratha Hills added an extra frisson of excitement.

Not even when the thunder and lighting and torrential rain descended on the players were they detracted from their purpose; once golf is in the blood it never leaves.

In the clubhouse at the end of the afternoon, the bedraggled group waited in anticipation for the results of their endeavours.

In the novelty prizes the nearest the pin prizes went to Rohan Wales on hole 3, Peter McIver on hole 8, Brad West on hole 11, and Danny Cam on hole 16.

Longest Putt went to Shaun Uys and Owen Leece had the best 2nd shot on hole 10.

Best 3rd shot went to Mongrel on hole 6, Happy Feet on hole 12, and Bodie

Broun on hole 14.

Bodie also had the longest drive on hole 18 and Peter Schneider had the longest drive on hole 9.

The overall winner on the day was Wayne Chadwick with an awesome 24 points.

On the front nine, first was Rob Ford with 21, second was Mickey Moose with 20 and third was Brian Thompson with 20.

On the back nine Karl Kleynhans was first with 22, Phil Kennedy was second with 21 and Danny Cam was third with 21.

The team Stableford being played at the same time was won by Bodie and Chaddy with a stunning 49 points and runners up were Bill Saw and Danny Cam with 47.

Thanks to the organisers

for the smooth running of the day, especially with such a large field, and thanks to our sponsor, McDonalds Family Restaurant for their generous prizes.

Karratha Country Club and Karratha Golf Club can be found off Searipple Road Karratha.

Anyone interested in playing come and join in the fun.

Members and guests are always welcome and social membership of the Country Club is available for a small fee.

For more information call the Clubhouse on 9185 1045, or speak to the Men’s Captain, Michael Pennings on 04 00662919 or the Ladies’ Captain, Sharyn Wieland, 04 38397811, for details of competition and social golfing sessions.

Karratha Netball Association recruits more volunteers The Karratha Netball Association held it's annual Information Night this week with a lot of new faces to town coming down to find out all about netball in 2011 as well as register interest to join a team.

Three ladies were there just to offer assistance as a volunteer which is fantastic news for the association and anyone interested in playing netball this year.

The role of the volunteer was focused on during the night.

The KNA committee has a core of 23 volunteers with some positions also having sub committees.

This sounds like a lot of people to run a netball competition but there is a lot more involved than just putting up a goal post and having a game each week.

They need to coordinate team nominations, register all players and officials in alliance with Netball WA, insurance, purchase equipment, fees & monies, insurance, liaison with Shire of

Roebourne regarding grounds & new facilities, provide training/courses for umpires, coaches and players, update websites, write Echo articles :-), coordinate 6 teams to compete in North West Netball Championships (which needs a committee all on it's own), run information nights, Annual General Meetings, committee meetings, run a canteen, provide injury management, rubbish collection, prepare game fixtures, umpiring and kiosk rosters, ladders, fairest and best votes, fundraising, Net Set Go programs, the list goes on.

But they do have a large pool to draw their help from.

They had 622 members in KNA in 2010 with 362 of these being kids under 18 years of age so available parent helpers aren't included in these membership figures.

With lots of people doing a little bit, it sure helps the season run along smoothly.

Sam Kekovich due to appear in the Pilbara

?

• Sam Kekovich is well known for encouraging Australians to eat more lamb

Do you belong to a sport association or club?

If so, why not tell us what your team or club has been up to?

It can be anything. Maybe you entered a tournament recently or organised a fundraiser, or maybe you’ve just recruited a new player to your team.

Whatever you’ve been up to and want to get it in your local paper then send in your article and any photos to news@pilbaraecho.com.au

AFL legend and media personality Sam Kekovich will be touring the North West region of Western Australia in early April and is available for sports club fundraisers, corporate events and functions.

Kekovich will be present from 7 to 14 April, accompanied by one of Australia’s leading horse trainers, David Hayes.

The “Lambassador”, as he is affectionately known following his award winning role telling Australians to eat more lamb, will be at the Karratha Tavern on Friday 8th April and will then tour to Marble Bar, Port Hedland, Pannawonica and most watering holes in between.

With a career in AFL, both playing and commentating, spanning over 40 years, Sam Kekovich is renowned for his controversial behaviour on and off the field.

“I am really looking forward to getting to Karratha and then continuing around the North West where people still understand what made this country what it is today,” Kekovich said.

“I have done speaking gigs in all corners of the country

and when my great mate Gerry Walsh from Sportingbet said he was doing a tour of The Pilbara, I said count me in.

“Anyone who comes along to one of the events will be guaranteed a laugh as I regale the punters with yarns from my sporting career, travels and give them some general advice on how we can make Australia great again.”

Kekovich was actually born in Western Australia before moving to Melbourne where he made his name kicking 228 goals in 124 games for North Melbourne before a brief stint at Collingwood.

He is famous for his rants which have been seen over the years on ABC sports program The Fat and Melbourne 3AK radio as well as working on SEN and Triple M’s AFL coverage.

Kekovich currently hosts ESPN’s flagship sports show, Pardon the Interruption.

Kekovich is one of Australia’s most in demand speakers and for more details on how to book him for his upcoming tour of the North West, email info@ kekovich.com.
