Coolgardie Day 2018 a hit with Goldfields communities Report and photos on pages 12 & 13

Main Roads WA have given confirmation to all local governments, that they are now able to process and pay invoices for road projects being undertaken this financial year. This process has been delayed due to ongoing negotiations between WALGA and the State Government regarding the State Road Funding Agreement, whereby WALGA had been trying to increase the level of funding from 20 to 25 per cent of vehicle licences over four years. This is still a good outcome for local governments as it will enable the first and second payments to flow through to enable road projects planned for this year to commence.
St John Ambulance have released a list of frequently asked questions into the Kambalda community about the provision of medical services in the town. These include: 1. St John is considering providing a general practice, telemedicine plus a variety of other medical services. 2. St John and the Shire are endeavouring to access patient records from Jupiter Health, however it appears that previous patients may have to contact Jupiter directly to obtain their records, which may incur a fee. 3. St John have met with a former doctor from Kambalda Medical Centre with a view to provide future doctor services. 4. The Shire is expecting an announcement from St John in the near future regarding a commencement date of medical services including a local doctor in Kambalda.
Restoration works on the public building in Coolgardie commenced this month, with contractors on site replacing the weathered stonework and building foundations. It is good to see this work finally started and we may soon have the Department of Mines and Mining Registrar Office reopening in town. It’s anticipated these works will be completed in December.
Councillors and staff hosted several local and interstate visitors at the Coolgardie Cemetery on September 5 for the unveiling of a memorial plaque for former Australian Test Cricketer John Cottam, who passed away at a young age in the Coolgardie typhoid epidemic. Deputy President Tracey Rathbone opened the ceremony, with Dr Colin Clowes from NSW Cricket officially unveiling the plaque. John Cottam is one of many notable people interred at the historic Coolgardie Cemetery; others include the famous explorer Ernest Giles.
The waste water treatment plant in Coolgardie suffered serious damage recently at the hands of a group of young vandals who broke into the control shed and smashed all the pressure gauges, switching panels and connecting copper piping. The damage is expected to run more than $70,000 and may take several weeks to repair. Luckily there is surplus storage in the ponds for the waste water, however the park and oval will now have to be watered with scheme water until repairs are completed, resulting in added costs to the Shire.
Shire planning consultant Francesca Lefante has been working tirelessly with Little Industries over the past weeks to put together a workable solution for the provision of a temporary fuel outlet for the town of Kambalda. This agreement has enabled the purchase of diesel fuel and emergency supplies of unleaded petrol from Little’s depot located on Granby Road in Kambalda. This is a great result for the Kambalda community and l would like to thank everyone involved in achieving such a successful outcome.
Coolgardie Day 2018 was celebrated on September 16 with a huge crowd of more than 20,000 people attending from all over WA. With the weather gods smiling on the day, there was a great array of rides, stalls, food ,and many attractions on display for our visitors to enjoy. I would like to congratulate the hard-working committee members on a successful day and for creating such a showpiece for our Shire, as Coolgardie Day has developed into the biggest one-day event in WA, outside of the Royal Show in Perth.
Meetings, forums and events attended this period: • Meeting with Rachelle Russell regarding local community issues, on August 27. • August 28: CDC trial working group meeting in Coolgardie. Discussed the trial extension and evaluation of CDC trial. • GVROC teleconference to discuss State Council Agenda, on August 29. • Teleconference with Swimming WA CEO Darren Beazley to discuss swimming pool management. • Hosted Federal Member Rick Wilson and Minister for Aged Care and Housing Ken Wyatt in Coolgardie on August 30.

Malcolm Cullen Shire President
Shire of Coolgardie From the desk of the CEO October 2018
Hi everyone
Hope you are all well and enjoying this great weather.
The BP service station tank removal is happening and the Shire was pleased to be able to successfully negotiate an interim solution for the supply of diesel at Kambalda. Thank you to Joe Little at Little Industries in Grandy Road, Kambalda in conjunction with Eagle Petroleum for making this happen. You can purchase the Diesel 24/7 via use of a credit card, Eagle Fuel or Debit card. Light and heavy vehicles up to a max of 20 metres (Rav1 network) are able to refuel at the site. There is also a limited emergency supply of petrol that is available in 20 litre containers on request, contact Clint Walding directly on 0448 548 853 or [email protected]. Full details are on page 4.
Update on medical services As part of our integrated modelling, St John is endeavouring to have a doctor located in Kambalda who is supported by a range of medical services such as telemedicine and volunteer supported services including ambulance, transport and First Aid. St John Medical strives to provide affordable healthcare for all patients and will endeavour to provide the most cost-effective model and service. St John is investigating the local needs of the Kambalda community and will endeavour to meet the needs of the community. It is hoped that by providing more diverse primary health or pre-hospital care to a community such as Kambalda, it actually reduces the strain on the local ambulance service, freeing them up to focus on emergency response in the region. It is our aim, with the proposed integrated medical model that is developing, to address the local need for patient transfer and community patient transport. St John is also exploring the use of some telemedicine service to the Kambalda community as part of its integrated approach to medical services. It is anticipated to have a medical service operating by early November.
I would like to congratulate the Kambalda Colts football team for winning their grand final against Railways.The Kambalda Community is very proud of their achievement. After a disappointing loss in the Grand Final in 2017, it is a credit to all involved to bring the cup to the home of the Eagles Boys in 2018.
Shire staff are to be commended on completion and submission of the Draft 2017/2018 Annual Financial Statements to the Shire Auditors. This is the first time for some years this compliance deadline has met. The Shire has finished the 2017/2018 Year in a strong financial position.
Well done to the Coolgardie Day Celebrations committee for a very successful Coolgardie Day which attracted a huge crowd. It was enjoyed by all with a lot of positive feedback. It was a wonderful day out with excellent weather and once again an excellent opportunity for Coolgardie to shine. We look forward to next years event.
Congratulations to Meghan Kent, Jacinda Evans and Gaynor Jefferies for their being awarded the Judges Site Visit award in the GWN7 Top Tourism Awards for 2018. You all worked hard and it is well deserved.
Take care, James Trail Chief Executive Officer

The show kicked off at 4.30pm on Tuesday, September 18, with the visiting band members having spent the afternoon setting up their drums, guitars and microphones in the skate park.
They hammered out wicked tunes for the community, while the children and youth, wearing their cool blue helmets, skated and demonstrated all the cool tricks they had learnt at the skating workshop held on Coolgardie Day. The recreation centre ladies cooked up sausages to serve to the community, along with fresh fruit and bottles of water donated by the Coolgardie Day Celebrations committee.
We were also lucky enough to listen to our local bag pipe player, Willy Corcoran, and he put on such a great performance. The band absolutely loved playing along with Willy and his bag pipes, who was lucky enough to record a song with them during their workshops and recording sessions at the Coolgardie recreation centre.
It was great to see the community come down and enjoy the free concert and watch the kids in action. We do hope to have them return next year for more fun and recording in our function/studio room.

This year the Coolgardie Visitors Centre entered the GWN7 Top Tourism Towns awards for towns with a population under 5000. Coolgardie was up against Carnarvon and Christmas Island, with Carnarvan taking out the top prize.
Coolgardie Visitors Centre officer Jacinda Evans and myself, along with councillors Malcolm Cullen and Sherryl Botting, attended the awards dinner on September 5, where it was announced that Coolgardie had won the “Judges’ Site Visit”. This is an amazing achievement for the whole community.
During the site visit, the judges’ itinerary allowed them to see as many highlights of Coolgardie as possible, starting with a culture talk given by Councilor Betty Logan at the bluff. This was followed by: • A guided tour through Warden Finnerty’s with caretakers Peter and Robyn Carey; • A walking historical tour with Vic Dale; • A guided tour through the museum with Jacinda and myself; • A beautiful lunch at the Way Out West Café with local entertainment; and • Visits to the local businesses followed by a driving tour of the town.

Issue 78 October 2018 Page 18 [email protected] Community helps Warden Finnerty’s gardens bloom Hello to our community, from Robyn and Pete at Warden Finnerty’s Residence.
We became the caretakers here last November, right before the summer months. We enthusiastically began planting and watering, wanting so much to make our mark on the grounds and gardens. It was a lot of fun and also hard work and we were sadly disappointed to have most things razed to the ground by the galahs and parrots, and of course those searing 44 degree days.
But here we are, after much advice and help from various people, keen to have you come and wander around to see what we have been busy doing.
During the past few months, with the awesome cooler weather, we have been busy making a veggie garden, and Pete has put together several raised garden beds using pallets. We hope to have it all established before the summer months. We have so many of you to acknowledge and thank.
The Shire of Coolgardie for the purchase of plants, pots, soils, hoses, sprinklers and gardening tools; Bergies Soils for a trailer load of soil and mulch; food scraps daily to build an awesome compost from Vicki and Bill at the Goldrush Motel; Allana Lind for several trailer loads of horse manure and plant cuttings; Tom from the local rubbish tip for pots and pallets; Ken Messenger for donations of plants and cuttings and also great advice; Harvey Norman and Bunnings for donations of pallets, and many others who have dropped by with donations of plants and cuttings. And, of course, the ground crew and workers from G.E.T.S, who all worked around the grounds, removing green waste, trimming trees, raking and general cleanup. It was a fantastic help, thanks guys.
Kind regards to you all and thank you for all your support. We hope to see you visit soon.

Hi everyone
It has been a busy couple of months at the Coolgardie Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service. Our volunteers have been training and attending incidents, and everyone would have seen the recent house and bush fires in the Goldfields on the news.
We need you to do your part! Please have smoke alarms in the house! We can’t stress enough how important and affordable these are and they do save lives! Check the batteries in them and start fitting some in the house. House fires do not happen only in the day time when everyone is awake, they can happen during the night or early morning while everyone is asleep, and if looked after smoke alarms do not sleep!
Are you bushfire ready? Everyone would have seen the media campaign that is currently being advertised. With the dry winter that we have had and the summer temperatures starting to kick in, it is time now to check your properties for any overgrowth and rubbish that could put your property at risk. Act now, and don’t delay; clean up now before disaster strikes .
Our sub juniors and junior running teams are going well with their training and will soon be starting their zone competitions. We have some competitions coming up and the state competition will be in Perth on Saturday, November 23 and Sunday, November 24, 2018.
There is a raffle happening as a fundraiser at the moment, with the prize a signed West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers ball. $2 a ticket or three tickets for $5, and there will be some fundraising stalls at Morans on Saturday, October 6, Saturday, October 20 and Saturday, November 3.
Come down and support our young runners. They have been cooking and baking and getting ready for their stalls and all money raised goes towards them representing Coolgardie at both the zone and state competition.
If you are interested in joining us, come down and meet the team on our training nights, which are Tuesdays from 7pm.For more information contact David Shilton on 0412 859 582.

Light of the World You often hear the comment that if a person loves themselves that will result in them being able to love others. Jesus gave the command that we should love others as we love ourselves. As a result of that command many assume Onethat revered if we hate and others admired it’s scientistbecause once we hate said ourselves. that heaven However was a fairytaleI believe by we people often hatewho areothers afraid because of the wedark. measure rofessorourselves ohn against enno them. from O ford university came back with the comment that atheism was a fairytale by people afraid of the light. Contrary to popular belief the Bible reveals that love comes from outside of ourselves rather than inside. God has esusmade said it possible that he to lightreceive has Hiscome love into rather the world,than try and to peoplefind it inside who do of evilourselves. things are God judged is love guilty and becausehence the they source loveof love.the dark Paul, more writing than to the Timothy, light. ohndescribes . how esus in the was last that days ight men that would came be into lovers the of world. themselves ight e poses (read it andin ‘2 drivesTimothy out 3:2’).darkness.

Shire of Coolgardie refuse site opening hours Judging Right
he concept of Coolgardiejudging is one ofrefuse the most site: misunderstood in the Christian faith. Believers and non believers alike quoteMonday, Jesus’ words Tuesday “Judge andnot, that Friday you may10am-3pm not be judged” (Matthew 7:1). Jesus goes on to say “For with whatever judgmentSaturday you and judge, Sunday you shall 8am-1pm be judged and with whatever measure you measure out, it shall be measured to you again” (Matthew 7:2). Kambalda refuse site: he ideaMonday, that a person Tuesday should and never Friday judge 10am-3pm is absurd and impracticable. e all judge at times. e make judgements on who weSaturday will allow into and our Sunday house, who 8am-1pm we want to be our friends, whether one school or hospital is better than another, and we judge one politician or political party as better than another. eople also choose one faith or ideology as being superior to another.
he kind of judgement esus warned us of was a self righteous, judgemental attitude where we look down on someone else while ignoring the flaws and sins in our own life. In Matthew 7:3 Jesus said “And why do you look on the splinter that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?” He goes on to command that we take the plank out of our own eye before attempting to remove the splinter in someone else’s eye.
One time while Jesus Himself was being judged by His critics He said “ on t judge by appearances. udge by what is right.” (John 7:24) In reality, proper judgment can save a person from much grief in this life. Judging righteously encompasses not playing favourites, not judging before you have all the facts, and ensuring you are not judging while being in a state of denial. udging righteously re uires humility and not putting oneself in the place of od.

It was such an informative event to be part of and we are currently working on setting up a Facebook page in addition to our already existing Facebook group after all that we have learnt.
To mark “Clean up the World” weekend we created our own little Kambalda Recycling Centre, asked the children to sort rubbish into piles of paper, metal and plastic and told them all about how important it is to make sure to reuse and recycle.
If everything goes well we might hear back shortly if our grant application with SUEZ went through. Keep all your fingers and toes crossed for us – we have got some pretty big plans for our outdoor area for this coming summer. Continued P29

Butterflies and forests for story time Story time in the Kambalda Community Resource Centre had another busy month, with the usual curious little visitors attending for the singing, reading and craft activities Mikaela has in store for them every Thursday morning. Earlier in September the children from One Tree Community Services attended and joined the younger members of our community, who all enjoyed creating beautiful butterflies for Children’s Book Week, and leaving behind a lot of smiling faces and glitter. In the same month we had a visit from Miss Bourke’s class from KWDHS to read How Many Trees. This is a story that raises the question of how many trees it takes to make a forest. The class also sang along to some all-time favourite nursery rhymes. Continued P31

Issue 78 October 2018 Page 36 [email protected] Canine parvovirus in the Goldfields Is YOUR dog protected?
Canine parvovirus (or parvo for short) is a highly contagious virus that affects dogs of all breeds and ages, with puppies most at risk.
This virus attacks the lining of a dog’s intestines, causing inflammation, damaging bone marrow and affecting the cardiovascular system. If left untreated by a vet, an infected dog or puppy will die from this virus. Humans and other pets cannot get parvo.
What are the symptoms of parvo? The virus can take seven to 10 days to take effect and within that time, not all dogs will show each sign of parvo. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your vet immediately: • Lethargic and lack of energy • Loss of appetite • Vomiting repeatedly • Diarrhoea and bloody diarrhoea
How can a dog get parvo? Parvo is shed mainly through an infected dog’s faeces (poo), which infects another dog if they sniff the poo and ingest the virus. In the recent weather the Goldfields has experienced, the rain and warmth can increase the risk of parvo exposure when mushrooms sprout, as they can carry the virus.
If your dog wanders, he/she is at great risk, but even if they don’t leave the property, they can still catch parvo as it can be brought home on shoes, clothing, tools, car tires etc. Parvo is very resistant and can survive in an environment for up to a year.
How can I protect my dog against parvo? Parvo is easily preventable through vaccinations. Check with your local vet to see if your dog is up-to-date. If you think your dog could have parvo, let the vet know before you come in to the clinic, to prevent exposure to other dogs.
Want more information? Contact local veterinary services on: Kalgoorlie Veterinary Clinic: 08 9021 3965 and Kalgoorlie Animal Hospital: 08 9021 600.

Well there has certainly been lots of springtime fun at the Coolgardie CRC this month, with flowers, music, craft, healthy cooking sessions with tasty food and an unveiling of a memorial plaque for a test cricket player.
Centrecare – Wednesday morning free social and craft sessions We have been spoilt this month by Alison and Cindi, the team from Centrecare Kalgoorlie, bringing lots of colourful, creative crafts, as well as some very interesting but delicious, healthy cooking sessions with Hannah Dunn from Population Health. Every Wednesday is a surprise for our attendees and this month it was about creating an awareness of the food that we eat and the importance of reading the labels to check the sugars, fats and other ingredients in our foods. Every session ended with tasting the recipe that was created that morning with everyday products that we easily have in our cupboards.
The Unveiling of John Thomas Cottam’s Memorial Plaque On Wednesday, September 5, we attended the unveiling of the memorial plaque for John Thomas Cottam, who was a NSW test cricket player and sadly passed away on January 30, 1897 in Coolgardie due to typhoid at the young age of 29. There was a good turnout despite it being a bitterly cold and wet morning. Deputy President Tracey Rathbone welcomed everyone and Dr Colin Clowes, the NSW Honorary Librarian and Official Historian who flew over from Sydney for the event, gave a very interesting talk on John Thomas Cottam and his life. Well done to Clint Easton who was the driving force behind the memorial plaque and recognition of Cottam’s final resting place. Clint also made the initial contact with Cricket NSW who generously paid for the stunning plaque which was crafted by Monumental Works, Kalgoorlie. After Clint delivered a speech, Mr Clows presented him with a beautiful memorial book, a gift from Cricket NSW. After the unveiling everyone attended a morning tea at the Coolgardie Community Recreation Centre. Thank you to everyone who attended and also to the Kalgoorlie Miner and GWN7 who also came out and provided media coverage.
Barefoot Bands Once again we were spoilt with Barefoot Bands who came back to play for Coolgardie Day. The Coolgardie CRC and Recreation Centre hosted Brenton Meynell, Drew Goddard, Dan Oltmans, Ian Weggler and Darcy Hay for a fun-filled two days. On Monday, September 17, there was a free song writing and recording workshop, a children’s after-school jam session. Later that night there was a community CD launch where the CD that was produced back in May 2018 here at the recreation centre was played and copies were handed out. It was a good mixture of the children singing, Willy Corcoran and his bagpipes, (including an AC/DC number) Dan Oltmans and Tapping Stickz. The event then carried onto a late night adult jam session.
On the Tuesday there were school visits, more recording sessions and a free community concert at the Coolgardie skatepark. This was the first time a band has ever played live there. Meanwhile, the children showed us their skills on their scooters, bikes and skateboards. Thank you to the Coolgardie Day Celebrations Committee who made it possible for us to host Barefoot Bands and also for the supply of delicious fresh fruit and water bottles and use of the bike helmets for the concert. To finish off I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank Barefoot Bands, who travelled a long distance to be with us, from Kalbarri, Hopetoun , Geraldton and Perth to our small town of Coolgardie - you guys rock and we cannot wait to see you again!

This month two Kambalda sporting teams won their grand finals. We would like to wish a big congratulation to the Colts Kambalda football team, and to the Kambalda Flyers netball team. We are currently providing the opportunity for the community to pass on congratulations and messages to the teams which are being displayed in the recreation centre foyer. If you would like to pass on your message, make sure you come in.
In late September we organised for Chris from Woolworths Cricket Blast to come to Kambalda and hold a ‘come and try’ session with the kids. We had a great number of kids come and join in to learn tricks and techniques in the lead up to the cricket season.
For October we have organised a morning tea with Silver Chain, who will bring some ex Kambalda residents to Kambalda for a social catch up. If you are interested in attending, please let me know.
The Seniors Christmas Luncheon date has been set for Thursday, November 29. This year it will be held in Coolgardie.
Do you want to join a social craft group? We would like to create a group for people who want to socialise and make crafts or items that can be used for events and the community. If you would like to join in, come and see the team at the Kambalda Community Recreation Facility to register your interest, or keep an eye out for the poster to come.
