Throughout the Pilbara district, there

are 131 children in care (as at 31 July

2013) being cared for in 62 households

of carers who are relaves and 12

households of people who are not

related to the children.

A state-wide call for more volunteers

to undertake the role of foster carers

for temporary and longer term care

has been made and this applies forNewman households too. Terry

Murphy, the Director General of the

Department for Child Protecon and

Family Support (CPFS) says that nding

enough commied careers is perhaps

one of their greatest challenges. The

Department is aiming to educate people

of the need for commied carers who

can provide a loving and supporve

home to some of the States most

vulnerable children and young people.There is need right across the State in

both metropolitan and country areas,

and parcularly in Aboriginal and mul-

cultural communies Murphy says.

Natasha Bargeus, the Pilbara District

Director for the CPFS said that the

majority of children in Newman

requiring foster care come from

the Newman township but are also

likely to come from the surrounding

communies and through to the

Western Desert.

CPFS considers it extremely important

that children in care maintain as muchstability as possible in terms of schools,

community, culture, and contact with

extended family and friends, which

can only happen if there are enough

available careers in the relevant

community. The childs wellbeing is, of

course, the primary concern.

Carers are o!ered training in readiness

to become a carer, ongoing access to

training and development of skills inunderstanding childhood trauma and

aachment, access to learning and

development resources, and regular

access and support from the Newman

o" ce and Fostering and Adopon

Services.

Foster caring is a demanding

yet rewarding role that involves

understanding the needs of a child in

care and building strong and trusng

relaonships. The people who take

on this role do so out of love and

commitment.

CPFSs Newman o" ce has a Senior

O" cer of Care Services, Gemma Lora,

who assesses and provides trainingand support to foster carers who may

be required for providing planned

weekend respite, emergency overnight,

short and longer term care for both

small and large sibling groups.

If you are interested and able to provide

care, you are invited to contact Ms

Lora on 9175 4600 or at gemma.lora@

cpfs.wa.gov.au or freecall Fostering

and Adopons Services on 1800 182178 to discuss how you can make

a real di!erence to children in our

community.

Foster Care in the PilbaraBy Sonya Matheson

Country Chiropraccs Dr James

Curry will be heading o to India this

November for his second me. Dr Cara

Clews has also previously undertaken

this journey. At their own expense,

they travel with Murdoch Universitys

Hands on India programme which

oers free chiropracc care, health carechecks, rst aid and medical supplies.

The impoverished community who

they focus on includes refugees from

Bangladesh, many who have been in

India for the last thirty years. Despite

many having lived there for more

than a generaon, they are not legally

entled to government educaon or

health care.

In the north-east Indian slum of Siliguri

lies a building that has been converted

into a small school, a community centre

at night, a sewing training place to help

people develop a self-sustaining micro-

business, in order to help address

some of the communitys needs. This

building has only been made availableto Hands on India for ve years. Funds

have been put aside in the hope of

Chiropracc Hands Go to India

acquiring a tle deed for land to assist

with the longevity of these projects.

This project will be pivotal to

breaking the cycle of poverty within

the community and providing these

people with a beacon of hope says

Dr Curry. "Your donaons to CountryChiropracc's involvement with

Hands on India 2013 would be greatly

appreciated"

100% of funds raised are for the

immediate benet of the residents

in the villages of Siliguri through

Hands on India. Funds raised will go

towards medical supplies, rst aid

equipment, transport to remote sites,

local translators, and communityinfrastructure. If you would like to make

a donaon, please contact Country

Chiropracc on 9175 2006.

Newmans version of the Bledisloe

Bloody Slow Cup has a serious origin;

the tragic loss of four Police O cers. In

2001, the Newman Police Sub-District

had an area of approximately 256,000

square kilometres. The furthest

indigenous community is Kiwirrkurranear the Northern Territory border.

On Australia Day that year, in response

to a call for assistance from Kiwirrkurra,

a team of three o cers were collected

at the Newman Airport in a Cessna

310 piloted by a police o cer from

Karratha.

When due back in Newman at around

10 pm, their e.t.a. having been radioedahead, the Cessna did not appear.

A search commenced immediately

by police and the local volunteer

emergency services. At 4:30 am the

following morning the crash site was

located around 2.6 kms South-East of

the airport. All four o cers had lost

their lives.

This October, the posive impact of

their lives and their commitmentto safeguarding the peace of our

community is remembered through

the Remembrance Ceremony and the

Bloody Slow Cup.

We will remember them.

The Newman Polices Lauren Tamblyn

held an engraving service at the Newman

Neighbourhood Centre where, for a

gold coin donaon, members of the

public could bring their bikes, scooters,

and other valuables, and have them

engraved with their licence number.

This way, if they are ever stolen and

later recovered, the number can be

used to trace them back to their owner.It was a very successful morning, with

22 people bringing their bikes along.

The Lions Club provided their bouncy

castle as entertainment for the children

and NNC put on a sausage sizzle.

area of any single ambulance service in

the world and operates from about 160

Paramedic, Melinda Parker, and the

North West Regional O ce in Broome.

Newmans wonderful team ofvolunteers undertake roles such as

paent transport, driving ambulances

or delivering First Aid training. However,

Newmans St John Ambulance needs

more people from community to assist

in order to connue delivering its

quality services.

Eskimo JoeBy Jessica Kirkland including photographs

Newman music lovers were thrilled tond out that Eskimo Joe had included

their The Great West Tour, taking in

towns from Broome down to Bunbury

Eskies rocked out in Broome and Port

special take on Sarah for birthday girl

Tenika.

They also gave a sneak preview of

singles from their upcoming album

Wastelands, playing three new
