Companion Cards
The Shire of East Pilbara has introduced the
Companion Card ensuring that people with
disability in the East Pilbara have the same
opportunies to access Shire services and
events as others.
The Companion Card is issued to people
with a signicant and permanent disability
who require aendant care support from
a companion. With this card, companions
in the East Pilbara will now be granted free
admission to Shire venues as aendant care
support. This includes the Newman Aquac
Centre and the Newman Recreaon Centre.
This is a very posive decision by Council
as not only is it fair for the companions
of people with disability but it also helps
ensure that the Shire of East Pilbara venues
comply with exisng an-discriminaon
legislaon, said Shire President LynneCraigie.
The Companion Card program has been
running in WA since 2006. The Companion
Card is issued to people with a signicant
and permanent disability who require
aendant care support from a companion
to parcipate at most venues and acvies.
For more informaon about the
Companion Card please contact the
Manager Recreaon and Events Simmone
Van Buerle at the Shire on 9175 8000 or

An arcle in the NW Telegraph suggesng
that 6NEW community radio staon was
under threat due to a dearth of volunteers
raised a rallying call. A meeng was held
and a date set for its Special General
Meeng on Tuesday 22 March aiming to
reinvigorate what has, for decades, been a
mainstay in town.
6NEW rst went on air in March 1979 from
premises on Keedi Road as the rst FM
radio in WA outside Perth and the only
FM one on air 24-7. In its rst few hours,
there were 140 calls for song requests or
congratulaons. Twenty-six residents were
trained as announcers and a couple of
people dedicated me for administraon
work. Leaders in its development included
Ron Armstrong and Mike Turner.
6NEW rst broadcast from its present
building next to the aquac centre in
September 2009 thanks to much generosity
of individuals and organisaons including
Mt Newman Mining, G&S Transport,
Wideglide, Cape Range Electrical, Freo
Cranes and more.
Craig Hoyer presents a Saturday morning
football show including local junior and
senior results along with other sports
between 10 am and 12 noon. He has been
doing this for over 14 years and sll does.Tune in to 92.9 FM.
Kiwi Bob Nicholson hosted an all night
request programme every Saturday
between 7 pm and 6 am the following
morning from 2001 to 2014. He sll holds
books containing every request ever made
and the dedicaon accompanying it that he
then went on to play from tape cassees.
The staon has also gone mobile oering
a lively perspecve on locaon from a
caravan built specially for the purposeduring previous Fortescue Fesvals,
football and speedboat compeons, and
Retravisions birthday.
On-going support from the Shire of East
Pilbara, BHP Billiton Iron Ore, the staons
sponsor Capricorn Bar and Grill, and
adversers make it nancially possible for
the staon to stay on air.
The rallying call has inspired long term
and new community residents to get
involved including Tania Paranihi who was
previously a volunteer, when a resident,
and has returned to Newman years later as
a FIFO worker.
As with so many organisaons in town,
6NEW would not be possible without
dedicated volunteers and those on acve
commiees. Bre Kelly has given so much
me and energy to the staon and would
appreciate support.

If you are able to help 6NEW, consider
aending their Special General Meeng at
the Newman Visitor Centre at 6:30 pm on
Tuesday 22 March.

The community of Newman connues to
realise reducons in reported crime. Last
year I touched on this during the radio
segments, but it is important to say it
again. As a community you care and the
informaon and assistance you provide to
us is one of the main reasons we are so
successful in reducing crime and makingthis community a safer place.
As of this week [27 January 2016] we are
sing at 10% less crime than the same me
last year and when you consider we are
coming of the back of a 24% reducon from
the year before this is a great achievement.
Burglaries are an issue for us so far this
year, so please be vigilant in locking up
your homes and keeping an eye on your
neighbours.
We have achieved some great results in
reducing the incidents of assaults within
our community by a massive 66%, with
much of this aributed to the great work of
our Liquor Accord involving our licensees
and police.
The is once again an issue for us, we have
managed reducons however there is a sad
reality that we must secure property at all
mes, even within our own yards and the
days of leaving your vehicles unlocked havelong gone. I encourage everyone to think
security and lock things up or store them
out of view.
Of the 12 stealing oences so far in
January, 3 have occurred at remote mine
sites and we have charged 7 persons for
the remaining 9 within the town site, so
some great work being done by your police
ocers as we connue with the pressure.
One of the biggest challenges we faced in2015 was the behaviour of some of our
community members within the CBD. In
partnership with the Shire we implemented
signage at a number of the parks around the
CBD. This signage outlines the condions
you must abide by when ulising these
areas.
Police and your Shire Rangers have been
conducng combined patrols of the area
and we were able to substanally reduce
the incidents of an-social behaviour in
these areas as we closed out 2015.
We did experience an increase for a few
weeks in early January, however with the
assistance of some respected community
members, the Shire, constant policing and
a public forum I addressed personally, we
have been able to bring this back under
control with business around these parks
and general recreaon going back to a
quiet enjoyment of the area.
The shopping centre has become an area
of focus, due mainly to a demographic ofyouth who see the centre as somewhere to
congregate and play.
I connue to work with business owners,
centre management and the Shire on
these issues and my ocers are a constant
presence in and around this area when
tasking permits. We cannot be everywhere
and we have an enre sub district to police,
which takes us up to Auski and down
to Kumarina, so a fair bit of ground to
control. But rest assured if you call us, we
move mountains to respond and on most
occasions we are there very quickly.
A quick overview of what your Police have
dealt with since 01/12/2015 [this report
was dated 27 January 2016]
835 Separate Incidents aended.
Arrests 40 - Summons 66 - Charges 143
Incudes: 12 persons charged for Burglary,
9 for Drug related oences, 9 for Assault
related oences, 11 for Stealing and 9 for
Drink Driving oences.
We have issued 86 trac infringements
noces many for speeding in the 40 km
zones. We connue to work hard to keep
this community safe and appreciate the
fact that you work with us.
Trac: As stated last year we receive
a lot of complaints about unlicensed
motor bikes tearing around the streets.
I know many of you witness these young
community members riding erracallydown our streets having no regard for our
children or their own safety. I am sure you
can appreciate this is not easy to police, so
I ask that if you know the house they are
coming from let us know and we will deal
with it.
While on motor bikes we also get
complaints about the loudness of some
of the Harley style bikes geng around
parcularly those that head to work at
5am, again lets us know where they come
from and we will inspect them and ensure
they are legal.
Reverse warning horns also causes a
number of complaints. If this is you, how
about you consider that not everyone is
going to work when you are, so why not
reverse in when you get home and drive
out without noise in the morning.
And nally on vehicles, the horn on your car
is not there to beep at your friends when
you leave their house in the early hours
of the morning. The horn is an emergencywarning device and it is an oence to use
it for any other purpose. It has become a
common pracce to give it a blast as you
drive away from a friends house and no
one really cares as long as it isnt in the
early hours and you don't wake up the
neighbourhood.
All of these things are simple, just be
neighbourly

Green WasteBy the Shire of East Pilbara
PRC (Pilbara Regional Council) coordinated
the tender process for the four member
Councils (Karratha, Port Hedland,
Ashburton and East Pilbara (Newman) to
mulch each Councils green waste stored at
their relevant landll sites.
The mulcher will visit each site to carry
out the mulching to produce the size and
grade requested by that member Council
and they will be charged based on the
quanty that is processed. The contractor
will invoice the PRC who will then invoice
each Council to recover the cost.
At this stage, the PRC is nalising the
contract with the successful tenderer and
if all goes to plan they will be scheduledto visit Newman in early April 2016. The
Shire expects to create about 2,500 m3 of
50 mm dia. processed mulch which will be
used on various Shire parks and gardens in
Newman. No assessment has been made
at this stage if it will be available to others.
Green waste segregaon occurs at the
Newman landll site where a specic
locaon is signposted and customers are
directed to dump at this locaon. Therefore
it is mainly self-regulated and to date any
contaminaon by other products is minorand within tolerances.
The project meets several objecves of
the state Waste Strategy and the Shires
Strategic Community Plan.

Anxiety in Your PetsBy Dr Lucy van der Weide, BSc BVMS
Veterinarian, Newman Veterinary Hospital
During March, across Australia veterinary
pracces celebrate Polite Pet Month, an
iniave aimed at raising awareness of
mental health issues in our pets, such as
anxiety disorders and phobias.
Just like people, many pets experienceanxiety. In fact anxiety can be a real
problem in our pets. In certain situaons
this response is very useful, for example
if there is genuinely something to be
fearful of. Somemes pets experience
anxiety to specic smuli, for example;
thunderstorms, strangers or loud noises,
this is oen referred to as a phobia.
However, in some pets, the anxiety is
more generalised and chronic, and this
ulmately can aect their everyday life and
their relaonship with their owners.
Signs a dog (or cat) may be feeling anxious
include yawning, scratching or sning,
avoiding eye contact, refusing to eat,
panng, pulling the corners of the mouth
back, salivang, pulling ears back, moving
in a crouched posion and standing with
the tail pulled under.
Fear and anxiety in dogs and cats can easily
lead to aggression. Anxious dogs and cats
are more likely to bite, so recognising
body language that displays early warning
signs of anxiety is important. Even the
friendliest pet can react if he/she feels
scared or threatened. The safest pracce is
to never leave children under the age of 10
unsupervised with any dog, including the
family pet.
Fortunately, anxiety in our pets is a
treatable condion. Over the past decade,
there have been lots of advances in
the science of anxiety and behavioural
disorders in our pets. Pets who suer from
generalised anxiety will hugely benet from
a combinaon of behavioural modicaon
and in certain cases behavioural
medicaons. Behavioural medicaon alone
is normally ineecve in resolving anxiety
and behavioural problems.
Beer yet, focus on prevenng behavioural
problems. It is far beer to prevent a
behaviour problem than to deal with them
later on, so starng o on the right foot
with your puppy is paramount. The best
way to prevent dog bites is to ensure your
dog is well socialised and trained from
puppyhood onwards. Proper socialisaon
means providing your puppy with posive
experiences with new things including
new people, other animals, new places
or situaons. If your puppy or kien isnt
The Newman Motorcycle Club Memorial
Event has aracted local, regional and
metropolitan riders for 9 years running
and with this being the 10th Newman Echo
Park Memorial weekend on 5-6 March
it is sure to be a huge weekend! There is
an enormous $10,000 in cash and prizes
available with thanks to all sponsors, in
parcular Healthway, Schlam Engineeringand Coates Hire.
The memorial event is in honour of two
valued members of the club, Michelle
Russell and Luke Miles-Woodland
(otherwise known as Lile Woody), who
tragically lost their lives in 2004.
Michelle was a club member for about 20
years, President in 2003 and put a huge
amount of me and eort into keeping the
club going, and making it what it is today.
Lile Woody was the rst quad rider to
race the track and it was from here quad
racing started at the Newman Motorcycle
Club. He was also the Northwest Champion
in 2004.

Other club members who have lost their
lives or lifestyles while being members of
the club are also remembered especially
over this weekend.
The Newman Motorcycle Club was
incorporated back in 1984 with a track that
caters for all skill levels.
The Newman Motorcycle Club was
incorporated back in 1984, the club started
out north of the town and ran successfully
there for a number of years, it was a track
made on natural terrain which formed
jumps and drop os and dodged trees,
the track was always under threat of
oods, states the February 2016 arcle on
Motorcycling WAs website.
Facilies were created just near the LIA in
the late 1980s and became known as EchoPark.
The track is a hard packed one, set into
a side of a hill consisng of many jumps,
berms; there is also a bridge which has
been constructed from 2 mining haul-pack
having a great me, you could actually be
inicng more harm than good.
A quote that rings true to me, If we
can teach a killer whale to pee in a
cup, you can train your dog without
the use of punishment - Ted Tuner,
SeaWorld. Reward based training, posive
reinforcement, is a sciencally proven
method of teaching your cat and dog.
It is a safer, much more eecve, andhumane way to teach animals by using
high value food treats, aenon and or
toys, essenally anything your pet likes
to reinforce or encourage that parcular
behaviour. Be careful not to reinforce bad
behaviours. This is a common mistake
that owners make without realising it (for
example yelling at your dog). Punishment
and negave reinforcement can potenally
have negave impacts on your pet such as
aggression, learned helplessness, and even
fear and anxiety.
When starng out, especially when
working on newly-learned behaviour, do
your training in areas free of distracons
unl your dog is really condent with
the command. Pay close aenon to
consistency, repeon and ming. Your pet
can make beer choices if you make beer
choices. Be paent and enjoy learning with
your pet.
