At 11:07 pm on Thursday 4th of August the New South Wales Fire Bri-

gades Communications Centre received a call that there was a car

alight at Lukas Shell in Bridge Road, Brewarrina.

The local Brewarrina Brigade was responded and when arriving on the

scene at 11:12 pm found a Ford Falcon sedan engulfed in flames.

Firefighters proceeded to douse the fire with water using a low

pressure hose and water carried on the fire appliance. Firefighters then

assembled foam equipment and completed extinguishing the fire.

At 11:20 pm the Brewarrina Fire Brigade reported to the NSW Fire

Brigades Communications Centre that the Fire had been extinguished

and that a Ford Falcon Sedan had been destroyed by fire.

The fire is being treated as suspicious, and is being investigated by

local Police.

Treat

Cancer with

Daffodils

… and give hope for a cancer-free future

By taking part in Daffodil Day on Friday 18 August you can help save lives and enhance the quality of life

for those living with cancer. You can help by buying Daffodils and related merchandise, available from the

Brewarrina Shire Council offices in Bathurst Street, Brewarrina.

Last year Daffodil Day raised $2.1M in NSW. Funds raised from Daffodil Day helps fund programs in re-

search, education and support for people with cancer. This year the target is $2.4M.

Sixty years ago almost all cancers were incurable, but thanks to cancer research, better treatments and ear-

lier diagnosis, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. The good news is that 50% of cancers

are successfully treated. But with almost 27,000 people in NSW diagnosed with cancer each year we still

have a long way to go.

Dear Ethel Congratulations to Boonay for be-ing awarded the dummy spitting award. How did that dance go Boonay? Well done Kevo for nomi-nating him to 2web. You can view the trophy at the Royal Hotel. Congratulations to Irene Johnston for the best dressed lady at the rac-es. Irene I think it was the hat that won the day. Happy Birthday to Steven Gilligan, Ben Hall, Ian Light, Trish Light, Lisa Dalton, Katherine Lukas, Tom-mie Lukas and Gundi Hertslett. When asked why he went under the high jump bar at the St Pat’s carnival, Harley Stanley assured me “it was to high to jump over so I went under”. Good try Harley. Wel-come home to Norman Darcy who spent a few quiet days in Bre. Chel-sea Bolton obviously loves Nutella but does she know it is supposed to go in the mouth not over the face. Ethel rushed out to get the gossip on the Police Divers at the Quarry this week but found out they where Drivers. The Surf Boat Classic will be on in October which is just around the corner.

A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor,

Through your paper and your readers, I fully

support Bon Parkins’ comment in your

paper 14th & 28th July 2000. My home and

Myself also have been violated and Assault-

ed many times.

In fact the community safety officer from

Bourke Police Station wrote to me and

identified me as a “Repeat Victim Of Crime

For The Month”

Yet I still see the offenders against myself

walking the streets of Brewarrina “Why?

How come??” I really don’t know, back in

my days it wouldn’t be that way “Do Not

Pass Go, Go Directly To Jail” (or boys

home).

Our Police force have limitations, their

hands are tied, The same goes for our court

system. Bon as an ex Youth Worker

(Yasmar Detention Centre) I have tried so

many times to talk sense to the youth of our

town but I know that I am fighting a losing

battle!!!!

I am in good tune with our community and

very sadly Bon I do not pick up very many

“Positive Attitudes” from people I speak to.

In closing I do really believe in KHARMA,

One Day Bon these offenders will get their

act together, set up home, buy very expen-

sive possessions and them get robbed and

violated them selves “PAYBACK TIME”.

My Heart and Thoughts go out to

ANY INNOCENT PEOPLE being Violated

Robbed Assaulted in any way.

Still Yours in Unity,

MICHAEL STEPHENSON
