New Artist in Residence AnnouncedThe Shire of East Pilbara’s Artist in Residence programme, now in its third year, remains one of the highest residencies in the country providing a $15,000 prize with a budget of $40,000. The 2016 winner is Olaniyi Rasheed Akindiya who has held other residencies and workshops in several African countries including Ghana, Senegal and Nigeria, along with the Netherlands, Brazil and Bolivia and in his home country of USA. Akirash’s artistic avenues include sculpture, painting, performance art, installations, video, and body painting. Previous winners of this award include Hannah Quinlivan (2014) and Yasuaki Onishi (2015). Akirash’s theme this year is ‘Light’. He will be at the Fortescue Festival and be running workshops in Newman, Marble Bar and Nullagine.

Library’s Temporary ClosureWith the Shire of East Pilbara taking over the running of Newman’s library, it is undergoing some major upgrades with the additional inclusion of an art room. While these renovations are taking place, the library will be temporarily closed until 6 July. It will reopen on 7 July with special activities in honour of NAIDOC Week including Indigenous story time and craft between 9 and 11 am.

Banner on the TerraceAs mentioned in the June edition of Newman News, the winning banner design for the Shire of East Pilbara’s representation at the Banner on the Terrace display on St George and Adelaide Terrace in Perth was by Georgie McInerney. Her design was painted onto the full sized banner with the help of community and school groups, and long time residents. Shire President, Lynne Cragie, marked the design with her footprint.

Shopping CentreAs mentioned in previous editions of Newman News, the new retail facility is a 4,000sqm shopping centre located in the Newman Town Centre. It is a partnership between St Bartholomew’s House and BHP Billiton Iron Ore. St Bart’s is using the $30 million provided by BHP Billiton to build and manage the retail facility and then use the operating profits to provide future support to the community. The building is taking shape and is expected to be complete by the end of the year. Tenants are currently in negotiations and securing places for their shops with rumours running rife of what they might be. Stay tuned.

In early June, twenty-five Martu and ten people from Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa, Martumili Artists, the National Museum of Australia (NMA), the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s office, and Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service (PAMS) went on a seven day trip out on Martu country.

The aim of the trip was to visit sites along part of the Minyipurru (Seven Sisters) song line, located north of Punmu. During the trip oral histories of people’s pujiman (bushman) travels through the area were recorded, while Martu artists who were participating in the trip painted works focusing on the country, the Minyipurru or the trip itself. The inclusion of younger rangers on the trip not only provided the women rangers with a chance to run a long trip independently of the male ranger groups but also provided opportunities for the elders to pass knowledge and stories to younger Martu.

13 Flat Tyres and Elders to Pass on KnowledgeBy Zan King, Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa (KJ)

The trip covered almost 600 kms of remote country, most of which was completely off-road with no track whatsoever. The convoy consisted of ten vehicles, carrying all the provisions for the week including almost two tonne of water. During the trip there was thirteen flat tyres. A slight annoyance but a good chance for the women rangers to practice their split-rim changes.

The team managed to ground-truth four named water sites on the trip including one site that had not been visited since pujiman days.

It was a fantastic trip and a valuable opportunity for younger Martu to learn from their Elders.

Walk for Country Against Uranium MiningMartu people and supporters walked from Newman on 4 June to Karlamilyi on 12 June to stop the Kintyre uranium mining on their country. The walk took them through Lalapakujarra up to Purnumalarra then to Pulyjalyja.

The remote community, Parngur, originally started in response to prevent and block the opening of the 1960s uranium mine. The mine borders the Rudall River National Park.

Cameco’s website states that “Kintyre is an advanced-stage, joint venture exploration project with Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd.” Also that it is amenable to open pit mining. They acquired it from Rio Tinto in 2008 and cite a land use agreement signed with the Martu people in 2012. They received State and Federal environmental approval in 2015. “We carried out further exploration to test for potential satellite deposits at Kintyre and other regional exploration projects close to Kintyre, which did not produce any significant results.”

Anohni, the famous British American singer artist and environmental activist, came through Newman on her way to the Walk For Country after a week of performing at the Sydney Opera House.

In 2013, Anohni spent ten days living with the Martu of Parngur through a friend who was doing a documentary on Martumili art. She has since campaigned against a proposed uranium mine on their ancestral land.

"I am joining my Martu friends Nola and Curtis Taylor and over 100 other people from Parngur and neighbouring communities in the WA desert on an 8 day, 180 km protest walk from their remote community to the site of Mitsubishi and Cameco's proposed open cut uranium mine.” Anohni said.

“The proposed Kintyre mine is on their traditional lands and a threat to their well-being, as well as being gouged out of the Karlamilyi National Park. Curtis and I did a piece about it on National Indigenous Television network today," she said.

Despite her advocacy, including a high profile appearance on ABC's Q&A, the mine looks set to go ahead. The federal government has granted conditional approval to dig inside the national park.

Turf Club RacesNewman Turf Club’s 2016 BHP Billiton Iron Ore’s Newman Cup races will be held on 22 August this year. It falls on the Fortescue Festival weekend only once every seven years due to the race season calendar. It attracts competitors from all around the state.

To ensure that the races can be held, the club is seeking additional sponsorship. The sponsorship package on offer will include signage display, public mentions, and some complimentary entry and beverages. If companies are able to sponsor, please call Nigel Weston on 0418 938 941.

Race day has been a staple in Newman’s social calendar and includes tent seating, children’s activities, Fashions on the Field, a live DJ, a variety of food vendors and more. Two-up will be played after the final race.

Attendees will not be able to bring their own alcoholic beverages. Identification showing age is required for those over 18 years old entering. The gates will open at midday with the first race at 1 pm. The entry fee is $25 for adults, children’s and pensioners’ tickets are $10. For pre-sale tickets at $20 each, please contact 0418 938 941.

Volunteer for the Newman SJA Pit CrewBy James Curry

The Newman St John Ambulance sub-centre is volunteer operated. They supply our community with emergency ambulance services, first aid training, and first aid kit servicing. The ambulance sub-centre relies on countless unpaid hours to provide this service within Newman. The sub-centre is kept financial by these services. Without local businesses to offer training and kit servicing for, and without volunteer support they cannot survive.

Between January and April this year alone, their volunteers have provided over 6,500 hours service. This was achieved with less than 20 regularly active volunteer members, the majority of whom fit this between their day-to-day working lives. These hours are starting to become unsustainable.

With this in mind, Newman St John Ambulance puts out a call for Pit Crew.

They have recently developed new volunteer roles within the Newman St John Ambulance Pit Crew to take additional pressure off the volunteer ambulance officers. The roles are created to be flexible and diverse, and require minimal training or background knowledge. They are the perfect role for people who would like to help in other ways.

Such roles include:- Roster Coordinator - to help coordinate

and ensure our services are covered- Ambulance Pit Crew - maintain and

clean vehicles- Station Pit Crew - maintain and help the

station- Social Pit Crew - help at our fundraising

events

If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Ambulance Officer, or becoming a part of the Newman St John Ambulance Pit Crew please contact them on 9175 1105 [email protected], or drop by the ambulance sub-centre during business hours.

Together we can work to continue this vital service in Newman.

Boogie RoosBy Nicole Willis

Established in 2011, Boogie Roos is an award winning licensed music and movement activity group for 0-5 year olds and it is now run locally at The Beach Indoor Play Centre every Monday and Thursday morning throughout the school term.

The weekly sessions are coordinated by Emily Bastian, who is a qualified Boogie Roos instructor and mother of two. Emily moved to Newman in 2015 with her family and realised there was a need for such a programme in town. She has since joined the team at The Beach and has brought the programme on board there.

This musical programme incorporates lively songs and nursery rhymes along with lots of vibrant props to give the children a sensory experience and get them up and moving. If you pop in to The Beach on any given Monday or Thursday you will see it is not just the children who have embraced this programme, parents and carers are interactive as well.

Boogie Roos was established in the Wheatbelt by Sandra Bennett and now runs approximately 15 sessions per week in Perth and across the Wheatbelt, and with such a well structured programme its popularity will continue to grow.

Visit The Beach and see what it is all about. Sessions run from 9.30 am for approximately 40-45 minutes and you can enjoy refreshments from the kiosk while your little one has some fun, or get on in there yourself and embrace your inner child!

Extended Camping at Cape Keraudren Cape Keraudren, part of the Shire of East Pilbara, is a popular tourist spot especially attracting interstate tourists who camp for extended periods.

Under recent changes to the Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act 1995, people cannot stay longer than 28 days in a three month period in a recognised nature reserve area.

The cape’s nature reserve is about 120 km North East of Port Hedland, near Pardoo. It is known as a great fishing and crabbing spot with diverse scenery and a place where wildlife carers have released their rehabilitated animals.

The distance of the cape from Port Hedland and Broome make replenishing supplies prohibitive and may partly explain people’s desire for an extended visit.

With the caretaker employed by the Shire along with maintenance of the area, the Shire makes a financial loss of approximately $70,000 per year despite being offset by camping fees. The caretaker helps to oversee the area and aid visitors. Not only will length of stay limit the enjoyment of visitors but it will also have a negative financial impact on the Shire.

The Shire invites community members and organisations to contact the Hon. Tony Simpson MLA who is the Minister for Local Government; Community Services; Seniors and Volunteering; and Youth to make your views heard. Additionally, the Hon. Brendon Grylls MLA, the Member for Pilbara may also be an appropriate contact as the area’s representative.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Strategies to help satisfy your indoor cat so that he or she does not become bored, brain-dead or morbidly obese.

1. Provide outlets to display natural behaviours such as a tall scratching post and a cat tree. Engage regularly in interactive and structured play. Cats live in a vertical world, they like looking down on things and being up high provides them a sense of security. Make sure you have several vertical spaces for them to hangout or nap.

2. Cats are highly intelligent creatures and thrive on mental stimulation. Clicker training is great fun for both you and your cat.

3. Provide a safe manner for your kitten to explore the great outdoors by building or purchasing an enclosed Cat Run or Cattio and, or, taking your cat on walks using a fitted cat harness and lead.

4. Don’t forget pheromones diffusers! Feliway (stocked at the Newman Vets)

10 Tips for Keeping Your Indoor Kitty Happy: Part 2By Dr Lucy van der Weide BScBVMS, Newman Veterinary Hospital

is a great way to minimise stress in your indoor cat, especially if your cat has underlying anxiety or suffers from urinary tract disease (eg. FLUTD) or inflammatory bowel disease.

5. Accidents can happen. In the unfortunately situation your cat escapes it is best to be prepared. This means desexing and microchipping your kitten and ensuring that their collar with attached ID tags is worn at all times.

North West Netball Region’s Championships

Newman’s Division 2 teamPhotograph by Lisa Mitchell

Newman Netball Association hosted the Northwest Championships between 17 and 19 June. Junior and senior teams from Karratha, Broome, Port Hedland, Tom Price and Paraburdoo went up against the local teams.

The weekend was full of great athleticism from all participants and Newman saw our own U/14s and Division 2 teams compete in the finals. Unfortunately they did not come away with a win.

A number of NNA junior players were selected to participate in further development from the region, and three senior players were recognised in the All Stars teams.

The weekend was coordinated by Life Member of the association and long standing resident, Renee Kumeroa, with the help of the NNA committee and members. NNA would like to wish Renee best of luck in her new adventures. Her commitment and dedication to the association and wider netball community over the past 15 years has been a great accomplishment.

Thank you to Lend Lease that was a major contributor to the weekend.
