QUEEN ELIZABETH AVENUE ~

A Cultural Centre – It’s All About Aklan!

A public meeting is being organized by the CDANI committee at The Bounty Lodge next Thursday 21 August, 5.15to 6.30pm to continue to explore the concept and design of a Cultural Centre for Norfolk Island. Following the inspirational visit of the consulting architect Greg Burgess, committee members have now the task of devising ways of getting the most extensive community input into the function and design of what will be a stunning addition to the community life and attractions of Norfolk Island.

Greg Burgess stressed the need for a brief to work with that reflects all ‘aklan’, suits Norfolk, in fact shows our very soul. This approach to designing a Cultural Centre for the Island is one of the main reasons he has been so enthusiastically welcomed to the project. As well as being impressed by the stunning portfolio of significant projects that Greg has worked on, each of which is distinctive and seamlessly “married” to its environment, it was obvious that each project was the result of patient and painstaking consultation and working with communities.

UK Member of Parliament “keen to rekindle special links”“Since I have been a Member of Parliament [in

2001], I have taken a close interest in the British Overseas Territories (which with Pitcairn Island there are 18 other), that remain around the world. It struck me that although Norfolk Island is no longer a British Overseas Territory, it is an External Territory of Australia, but nevertheless, I can see by just looking around me here, that the special bond - the historical links - that the people of Norfolk have with the British people are very strong indeed.


It’s All About Aklan! - continued

The public meeting next Thursday will be to share information about the architects visit, provide an update on the land site, and to try to define the essence of Norfolk and its community. What are the things we hold dear? What are the things and ideas that mean Norfolk to us? Ideas as diverse as Bounty Day, the sound of waves breaking on the reef, lighters unloading, or as simple as a good Norfolk tall story or lemon pie.

From the initial public meeting which filled Christians Cave and overwhelmingly supported the concept of a Cultural Centre, to the thoughtful input from the many people at the Parish Centre meeting, the project continues to move forward.

And now it is all up to us, every member of the community to make it as perfect as possible. Everyone is invited to come along to the Bounty Lodge, enjoy the warm fire, the good company with a cuppa, and the exchange of ideas and information.

Because it is for all of us!The CDANI committee can be contacted on 24079

“keen to rekindle special links” - continuedI would like to see those links and that special

relationship enhanced because, whatever direction Australia may take in years to come [towards becoming a Republic], I earnestly hope that whatever Australia decides to do, that Norfolk Island will remain a Territory of Her Majesty the Queen and the people of the Island will have that special link with the people of the United Kingdom”.

These were the words of Mr. Andrew Rosindell, Conservative MP for Romford and Shadow Minister for Home Affairs in the United Kingdom Parliament, at a morning tea held in the Assembly Chambers on Thursday morning, 14th August, to welcome him and his assistant Mr. Osman Dervish to Norfolk Island.

Mr. Rosindell and his assistant are on a three week visit to Australia on Commonwealth Parliamentary Association business, but his first visit was to Norfolk Island

In welcoming Mr. Rosindell, Lisle Snell, Speaker of the Norfolk Island Legislative Assembly said ; “Without going into too much history, we are all very well aware of the connection that exists between Great Britain and its people with the people of Norfolk and Pitcairn Islands”.

“keen to rekindle special links” - continuedSince their arrival on Wednesday, our visitors

are staying at Government House, and the Acting Administrator Mr. Owen Walsh thanked the Assembly members for inviting Andrew and Osman to this morning tea and providing them with an opportunity to meet them. “Following my discussions with him last evening” Owen said, “Andrew has a great interest in the British Overseas Territories and the issues and challenges that they face. Many of those challenges and issues are ones that Norfolk needs to look at and see how they deal with them. This is a good opportunity to compare the issues that we are dealing with here, and maybe we can learn from each other”.

Lisle, on behalf of the Legislative Assembly and the people of Norfolk Island Lisle then presented Mr. Rosindell with a few mementoes of his visit to Norfolk Island. “We are well aware of the very thoughtful contribution in the motion in the House of Commons in 2006” Lisle said “and we certainly appreciate that very much. We have, as a token of that, produced some not overly expensive gifts, made of Norfolk Island Pine and featuring the Island’s Coat of Arms and a scroll which explains the detail of the Coat of Arms. In addition, a special coin which was struck for our Sesquicentenary celebrations”.

“Mr. Speaker, Acting Administrator, Chief Minister, friends, ladies and gentlemen” Mr. Rosindell said in his reply, “can I firstly say what an honour and privilege it is to be here in Norfolk Island. As a United Kingdom Member of Parliament I am very proud to be here and in 24 hours I already feel very much at home and I am so delighted to be here.

It’s a long journey to come from London, and as you can imagine myself and Osman, who works for me in Parliament, are both very tired, but today we feel refreshed after the hospitality and the nice rest we had at Government House.

So today is a very special day for me. I have known about Norfolk Island for many years and while I don’t pretend to have all the knowledge and history, I am certainly here to learn about what goes on and what you want to see for the future. Most importantly, from my point of view, is to try to rekindle and rebuild a little bit, the special links that Norfolk Island has with Britain, because your link to the Crown, the Queen and to Britain I think is very important.

While I am here, and I am sorry that it is such a short 3-day visit, I hope that during the next two days we will be able to have a lot of discussions to talk about how I can continue to support Norfolk Island back in Britain. Not just to make people aware that Norfolk Island exists and what a wonderful place it is, but also to try to rekindle that historical friendship that we have so that we don’t loose it.

In these days in the modern world, so many things that have gone before get lost and washed away. I am very proud that it seems to be that I am one of the first British MPs that have come here for a very long time.

I was pleased to table the following Motion [in the House of Commons] - “That this House joins the people of Norfolk Island in celebrating Bounty Day on 8th June 2006, the 150th Anniversary of Queen Victoria’s

gift to the Pitcairn Islanders; notes the great historical links between Norfolk Island and Great Britain since its first sighting by Captain James Cook from HMS Resolution in 1774 and his subsequent naming of the island after the then Duchess of Norfolk; recognises the important part that these settlers had on forming the nucleus of the new society that continues to prosper today on the island; and further notes the importance of maintaining the deeply entrenched historical traditional links and shared heritage between Britain and Norfolk Island for many centuries to come”, when I heard about your 150th Anniversary. I felt that it was time that it was highlighted in the British Parliament as well. It was supported by cross-party MPs from all political persuasions and whilst I don’t have it here to present to you today Mr. Speaker, I do have a framed version which I will present to you at the Reception tomorrow evening. I hope that you will bring it back here as a reminder of the House of Commons and that we to, celebrated your 150th Anniversary.

Thank you very much for your hospitality today and I look forward to having a chat with you during the next two days”.

He then presented each Member of the Legislative Assembly with a photograph of Her Majesty the Queen which he had specially commissioned in 2002 to celebrate Her Golden Jubilee.

Thursday and Friday were full on days for David and Osman as they met with members of the community including past and present members of the Legislative Assembly, members of the the Society of Pitcairn Descendants and Norfolk Island members of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. He told me that his interest in Norfolk Island had really been heightened when he met with Tim Brown at a Parliamentary Association meeting which was held in Fiji in 2005.

The culmination of the two day visit was a Reception held at Government House on Friday evening, 15th August to which a wide cross section of the community had been invited.

In his address to the gathering, the Acting Administrator said that “it was a great pleasure for Bianca and me to have Andrew and Osman with us for the last three days, but I’m afraid we have been working him very hard during his very busy time.

Norfolk is a unique place and I think this visit is an opportunity, both for Andrew to learn about Norfolk, and it is an opportunity for us to reflect on, and acknowledge our links to Great Britain and the British Crown. It is also an opportunity for us to learn about the trials and tribulations how other jurisdictions like the British Overseas Territories which Andrew has a great interest in, face some of the issues which we face and to learn from their experiences. The same way that Andre and others have gone to King Island and Kangaroo Island in Australia to learn how they approach the same issues that we face. It is important for Norfolk in these types of visits and I applaud Andrew for coming and I know that he is keen to come back and I would encourage him to do that”.


“keen to rekindle special links” - continuedIn reply Andrew said “Your Honour, Bianca, Mr.

Speaker, Chief Minister, ladies and gentlemen, it has been a wonderful few days to be here in Norfolk Island. I have wanted to come for a very long time and so this is a realisation of my own ambition to visit this wonderful island - Norfolk Island.

I would like to say ‘thank you’ to all of you who have made me so very welcome and particularly to you Owen, and to Bianca and to all of you who I have met. It has been a real pleasure and all I can say is that my visit to Norfolk Island far exceeded my expectations.

This is a true Paradise, a magnificent place to live and a wonderful place for me to visit. What has struck me most of all, apart from all the wonderful people that I have met and the warmth of the welcome that I have received, is that the traditional British values, values that arrived here all those many, many years ago are still very much alive. The affinity that I feel naturally, to all of you goes without saying. We share a common heritage and although we may be at the other ends of the earth, there is that common heritage that we share which goes back centuries. So I believe that we should celebrate that and one of the things that I want to do is to strengthen the relationship and the friendship between Norfolk Island and England. I come here as a British Member of Parliament, but I come here as somebody who I hope will be considered as a friend to Norfolk Island.

In my position as a Member of Parliament, I can assure you, Your Honour, that I will ensure that Norfolk Island is not forgotten in England and will use every opportunity that I can to make sure that the British people and the British Parliament are aware of those very special, very historic cultural links that all of us share between England and Norfolk Island.

Two years ago you celebrated your Anniversary Day - your 150th Anniversary ‘Bounty’ Day - and that was an opportunity for me to raise that in the Parliament in the United Kingdom. I was very pleased to be able to table a motion congratulating the people of Norfolk Island on the 150th Anniversary. I brought with me today a framed copy of that motion (see wording elsewhere) and it has been signed by 18 other members of Parliament from various and different political parties - not only my own party but various other parties as well. I would like to present this to you Mr. Speaker, and I hope that you will display this in the Legislative Assembly and I hope that it will be a reminder of the

importance that I, and many other British members of Parliament, hold to our relationship and friendship between Great Britain and Norfolk Island”.

In thanking Andrew, Owen and Bianca, Speaker Lisle Snell said that “on behalf of the Legislative Assembly of Norfolk Island I accept this with great honour and humility on behalf of the people of Norfolk Island. It will certainly be placed in a prominent position within the Parliament here on Norfolk Island. It is a great reminder to us of the history that the Island shares with Great Britain and the continuing dialogue and communication that hopefully will stem from your visit. Thank you once again for coming to Norfolk Island and we certainly hope that we will see you in the future”.

Toasts were then proposed to her Majesty the Queen and to the frindships that had been forged.

Andrew and Osman left for Brisbane on Saturday morning.

The committee would like to thank The Acting Administrator, Mr Owen Walsh and Mrs Bianca Walsh for the kind opening of Government House on Wednesday 23 July 2008.

Special thanks go out to the following people: Mrs Mauge Jowett and her lovely ladies that kindly give up their afternoon. To our special helpers on the day - Sue Buffett, Debbie Steven, Julie Hubber, Eve Semple, Rod Oldfield, Janelle Blucher and Connie Maxwell.

Thank you to Sarah Maxwell and Lattitude 29 for the kind donation of the lovely afternoon tea for the ladies. Thank you to Margaret Smith for donating the beautiful flowers, to Mary Cooper for her beautiful arrangement of them and to Helen Jackson for picking the flowers up and delivering them to Government House.

Thank you to Jonno and Jo Snell for advertising the open day in the Norfolk Islander. Also, to Jacqui Jackson for all the behind the scene arrangements and Radio Norfolk for advertising.

Thanks to Stacey Cooper for giving up her afternoon off.

Thank you to anyone else that we may have forgotten to personally mention.

Now, there are some membership fees that still have not been paid yet and we ask parents to please complete the form and drop it in to the Youth Centre as we want to get the new plastic cards printed as soon as possible. If you haven’t got a form, we have them at the Centre. The fee goes towards the cost of insurance and the cards assist the supervisors with identification. There are around 70 kids attending regularly so you can see it will help the supervisors knowing who is who. Parents also need to put their name on the roster but if you can’t to do a shift there are many other ways you can help out like cleaning etc. Just let us know when you pick up your kids. We are planning some different things soon so we’ll keep you informed of what’s coming up. We have been opening the Youth Centre on Saturday afternoons while netball is in progress to give the kids something to do at that time. It’s usually from around 12:30 to 3pm. The Youth Centre phone number is 24111.

Norfolk Island Appoints Events Manager

A Norfolk Islander who has moved home after six years in New Caledonia has been appointed to the new position of Events Manager at the Norfolk Island Government Tourist Bureau.

NITB General Manager Terry Watson said Rhonda Griffiths brought “excellent” credentials to the role from her work as Cultural Affairs Adviser to the Noumea-based Secretariat of the Pacific Community.

“Keynote events are extremely important in attracting travellers so it makes plenty of sense to have someone like Rhonda coordinating activities and helping to harness all the local creativity that is going into our events program,” he said.

“Her experience with such high profile events as the Festival of Pacific Arts in New Caledonia in 2000, Palau in 2004 and American Samoa this year, along with the annual FIFO film festival in French Polynesia, means she is able to bring plenty of ideas and skills to the events table, and I wish her well in the new role.”

Rhonda is enthusiastic about her new role and has already got her feet under the desk.

“We’ve already got some great events on the calendar and some really dynamic and imaginative people driving them,” she said today.

“But Norfolk’s culture is so rich and our hospitality so warm and open that we are only scratching the surface of what’s possible.

“As good as Opera in the Ruins and the Country Music and Jazz Festivals are, we can make them even better and add all sorts of other activities to give the island extra vibrancy and keep our visitors coming back for more.

“My number is 50652 and I urge anyone with an idea about an event or activity to give me a call so we can talk about it.”

There is still time to make suggestions on road names

Norfolk Island Minister for Commerce and Industry Chris Magri has thanked the members of the public who have made suggestions and comments about what names should be given to 58 Norfolk Island roads which do not have official designations. Mr Magri said that he was grateful to those who made comments at the public display on 26 July and at other times, and wanted to ensure that everyone who had an opinion on what names should be officially recognised had plenty of chance to make their views known.

Mr Magri said that a map showing the locations of the roads was still available for viewing at the office of the Registrar, New Military Barracks, Kingston. The consultation period will end on 31st August. He said that anyone wanting to put forward suggestions should talk to him before then or contact Allen Bataille on 23691 in office hours. Further information can be sought by email to [email protected]

IT2 a HUGE hit once again!!!!Last Friday night the RSL once again strained at

the seams to hold the number of punters eager to see the next installment in the 2008 series of IT2. What a show it was!! The couples had to choose a song that was either Disco or Rock and all but one couple had chosen Rock…and ROCK they did!! However, before the couples got to strut their stuff, the mystery judge standing in for Brent Adams for the night was revealed to be none other than the Rock God himself Jimbo Taverner (aka ‘The King’).

Once Jimbo had joined Tanya and Kim at the judges’ table, the show got underway. First up were Amanda and Aiden singing ‘Good Time Tonight’. Their smooth performance from the first show was replaced with boundless energy and Aiden was transformed into a Rock God. They were rewarded with a score of 24.

Next we had our only father and daughter couple, Kath and Ken. They brought the house down with ‘Shake Your Tail Feather’. They exuded joy as they got down with some pretty groovy dance moves and they looked pretty slick too. Ken’s tail feather well and truly shook! The judges gave them a score of 23.

Cristina and Tony were up next with another epic, ‘Paradise By the Dashboard Light’. They didn’t disappoint with their theatrics and enthusiasm. Being the true professional, Tony didn’t even flinch when he lost his wig. They were given a score of 23.

Next up were Shane and Gaelene with the Beatles classic 8 Days a Week. Their magnificent voices once again sounded great together and they looked as if they really enjoyed themselves. There wasn’t a vest in sight, but rather a stunning red number worn by Gaelene and a black muscle shirt by Shane. The crowd certainly enjoyed it with plenty of clapping and toe tapping. The judges gave theme score of 25.

It was Trent and Deena’s turn next and they rocked out with Bad Moon Rising. They both looked very swish and once again toes were tapping. The judges said they were even better than last time and gave them a score of 16.

Tony and Rose weren’t as green as they were last week but no less entertaining as they rocked the RSL with Love Shack. The song suited their voices down to the ground and they seemed to enjoy their performance almost as much as the audience. Their flawless performance earned them the top score of the night with the judges giving them 26 points.

Up next were Cooky and Rani singing ‘Dressed for Success’ – and they certainly were! Kim said Rani’s voice had turned into a thing of beauty and Tanya was please she got to hear Rani after all of the great reports she had heard. They received 22 points.

Last but certainly not least was the one Disco performance for the evening, Chris and Teddy with Lady Marmalade. Once again they executed a strong performance and had the crowd captivated. They both looked fantastic and the removal of Teddy’s jacket to reveal a bare chest had many in the audience gasping for breath. The judges gave them a score of 22.

STOP PRESSNORFOLK TELECOM CHARGES & GSTJULY 2008 INVOICE / STATEMENTS

Please be advised that due to a software error, the GST component of all Norfolk Telecom bills invoiced for July 2008 was calculated in error at 9%. This resulted in an incorrect representation of the GST component on your July 2008 invoice / statement. This error has since been amended in the software and will show the correct GST figure on future invoices.

Please ensure that when lodging your GST Remittance Form for July 2008, and claiming the GST component of your Telecom charges as an Input Tax Credit, that you manually adjust the GST component of your July 2008 Norfolk Telecom charges. This can be achieved by multiplying the total amount (or if claiming only a percentage of your total bill then multiply the amount you are claiming by 8.26%) of your July 2008 invoice / statement by 8.26% to arrive at your correct GST component.

Please be advised that the GST component has inadvertently been omitted from all Norfolk Telecom Invoices dated July 2008 for all yellow pages advertising for the 2008 Norfolk Island Telephone Directory.

After all of the couples had performed, it was time to eliminate 4 of our talented couples from 2008’s series of IT2. All of the couples were brought up to the stage and one by one they were brought forward to hear their fate. After adding the judges scores from the first show to the money collected in the tins over the last fortnight, the following couples (in no particular order) had the highest overall scores and therefore made it through to the Grand Final:

Tony and Rose; Shane and Gaelene; Cristina and Tony; Amanda and Aiden

It was announced that the 4 eliminated couples would have the chance to get back into the competition by way of a WILDCARD entry. Over the past week, the public have had the opportunity to vote their favourite couple back in by putting money in their tin. The eliminated couple with the most money in their tin and therefore the winner of the WILDCARD entry into the Grand Final Show is Chris and Teddy!!! Congratulations! We are glad that we will get to see you perform one more time!!

Tickets for our Major Draw are still on sale at all Service Stations. Tickets are $10 each and give you the chance to win 2 return airfares to the Gold Coast generously donated by NORFOLK AIR or a framed photograph by Robin Nisbet kindly donated by 2899. The Major Raffle will be drawn at the Grand Final Show next Saturday night the 23rd of August at the RSL.

We are at the important end of the competition now. This is where your vote is crucial as it will help determine who will be the IT2 Champions of 2008. Over the next week the Voting Tins will be outside Foodies waiting for you to vote for the couple you think should be crowned the ultimate winner. You have until 6pm Friday to cast your vote.

Tickets for the Grand Final Show are now available at the RSL. All proceeds from IT2 are distributed amongst the following Community Organisations: Girl Guides, The Quota Club, Youth Centre, VRA, St Johns, Banyan Park Playcentre, Community Arts, Hospital Auxiliary

yesterday of a visit by The Hon. Andrew Rosindell who is the shadow Minister for Home Affairs in the UK Parliament. Andrew is the member for Romford in the county of Essex.

Andrew took the time to speak with our Year 5-6 students about topics such as the United Kingdom, the Queen and British politics. I know that the students enjoyed listening to Andrew as much as he enjoyed speaking with them. It was very kind of Andrew to donate two beautiful photos of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 to the school.

Thank you to The Acting Administrator Mr Owen Walsh, The Hon. Vicky Jack and The Hon. Lisle Snell for arranging the visit.

Athletics CarnivalAs mentioned last week the carnival will now be

held on Friday 22 March. We are looking forward to parents, staff and particularly students having a most enjoyable community day.

As a lead up to the carnival we will be having a short assembly on Monday at 9:40am followed by House Meetings and March Past practice. Students are to be in full school uniform.

School SocialWell done to Mrs Hawkins and her SRC group for

their excellent organisation of our School Social on Thursday evening. I was particularly impressed with the behaviour of our students and the leadership shown by the SRC. Thank you also to the staff for giving their time so freely.

School PhotosThese will also be held on Monday with K-2 being

held before recess and Years 3 to 12 following recess. Students are to be in full school uniform.

Drop Off ZoneCommunity members are reminded that the

driveway outside the school’s administration area is purely for dropping off or picking up students. I am asking for support from parents to use this zone just for that purpose whether it is before, during or after school. Community are reminded that parking is available across from the school if they wish to stay longer.

K-6 AssemblyCongratulations to Stage 3 and their teachers on

their excellent assembly last Wednesday. Mr Murray who was relieving as Principal thoroughly enjoyed the assembly and took great pleasure in giving Principal’s Award to two Year 9 students who were a tremendous help to the Stage 3 teachers. Congratulations to Tiffany Buffet and Emily Nicolai.

ThanksFrank Stanton

A happy group of septuagenarians -

“with Nobbs on”Pictured above are the five

members of the Nobbs family - from l. to r. Ron, his wife Marlene, Ken, Christopher and Jan - who are now in the 70 year young age bracket.

Our picture was taken at ‘Cat’s Cafe’ last Saturday evening, 9th August, when they gathered with family and friends to celebrate the occasion.

Coming home especially for the party were Christopher Nobbs and members of his family - Wok and Ellen Stehr and their son Anthony - together with Jenny Rush and her grand daughter Thembi who is also Chris’ God daughter. Michael Davies, another friend of Chris, also made the trip to Norfolk from Canberra.

Needless to say, Ngaire and her staff at ‘Cat’s’ put on a wonderful spread of wettls together with a Polynesian floor show. The collection of talented Island musicians - Ken, Alex, Roy and Les Nobbs together with Archie Bigg, Wok Stehr and any

number of ukulele strummers, ensured that the music and singing carried on until midnight.

Congratulations all yorlye!- Tom.

Rare Endemic and Indigenous Ferns in Norfolk Island

The month of August sees the release of this issue depicting excellent examples of the original subtropical ferns in the Norfolk Island forest.

Plants needed to cross vast distances over water to colonise Norfolk Island and nearby Nepean and Phillip Islands and because of this the island group had just 178 native plant species at the time of settlement in 1788.

Those plants that did manage to establish themselves in this island group were able to exploit Norfolk Island’s favourable environment. In time some evolved features which better suited their changed circumstances that became unique (endemic) to the island. Norfolk Island is the home of the majestic Norfolk Island Pine and some 40 other endemic plants including a variety of ferns. These are a source of considerable interest to scientists and botanists in that they can be found nowhere else occurring naturally.

Mary Butterfield is the artist for this issue. Mary, who is well known for her artwork for stamps, spent many hours walking through the forest to capture these images.

Childhood Memories RevisitedThis week I had the pleasure of speaking with

Lynne Grover, from Port Macquarie who, with a small photographic journal taken by her mother in 1953 as her guide, has been revisiting the many places that she and her parents - Tess and Charles Harford - got to know during their six week stint on the Island.

Her Father, was an electrician with the Department of Civil Aviation and was here putting lights at the Norfolk Island Airport. Before that he had put the original light on the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The family stayed at the “Hillcrest” Guest House (now Hillcrest Garden Garden Hotel), which had a lots of happy memories for the then 4-year old Lynne. Apart from photos of “Hillcrest” there is a picture of the late Johnny Carr, ‘Arthur’ and Fred Whittle on the croquet court. She so enjoyed playing croquet as a young girl, she took up the sport in Port Macquarie a few years ago.

She started showing the book at random and people took a vague interest in the photographs which had been taken on an old Kodak Box Brownie. “However, they were looking so randomly at it, that it had started to get damaged before I could get it to the right people who would enjoy it and appreciate it” Lynne said.

Following a suggestion from one of the tour operators, Lynne visited the School and spoke to Trish Magri who kindly enlarged some of the photos for her.

The two photos that accompany this article show an Auction Sale in progress by the side of the old Rawson Hall and the other Lynne’s parents and another lady by the name of ‘Peggy’ at the Airport farewelling a gentleman by the name of George Arnott.

Mr. Arnott kept in touch with Lynne’s parents for quite some years and Lynne said that her Mother was very disappointed when the correspondence stopped. “I hope that this photograph will invoke some sort of memories as he is the only person in the pictures that no one can identify”.

If you can help Lynne, she is staying at “Polynesian

CongratulationsJohn and Ria are back on the Island for their 16th

visit and as they do every year are celebrating their Wedding Anniversary here on Norfolk. This year is the big 30!

Well-done Ria – the medal’s in the mail

August 22nd is Daffodil Day and Quota will again be selling Daffodil merchandise at the Foodlands Mall from 8am to 12 noon which will include soccer balls and the popular Daffodil bears this year wearing sun hat and thongs.

During the week merchandise will be available from the Commonwealth and Westpac Bank, Hospital, Post office. Trading Post, and Tourist Bureau.

Daffodil Day is the largest national fund raising event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, providing essential funds for cancer research, education and support programs.

The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for all touched by cancer.

This year, Daffodil Day hopes to raise over $9 million to fund cancer control initiatives, patient support and education services of The Cancer Council Australia’s organisations.

There will be over 10,000 volunteers staffing many Daffodil Day sites across Australia and as Quota have done for some years now we will be taking part here on Norfolk Island. NICS students also supports Quota each year with their yellow mufti day donations The Motto for Daffodil Day this year is: “With you we have hope.”

Cancer remains one of Australia’s biggest health problems. An estimated 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.

Approximately 106,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed in Australia each year. Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia - more than 39,000 people are estimated to die from cancer each year .

The most common cancers in Australia (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) are prostate, colorectal (bowel), breast, melanoma and lung cancer.

Funding research into cancer is one of the best ways we can work together to protect those we love from this life-threatening disease.

We Hope You Will Support Daffodil Day 2008 Here On Norfolk Island.

All money raised goes to the cancer fund in Australia

Thank You Thank you to all of the Stockyard Road residents

and Two Chimney’s residents who contributed to the fencing of the cleared bank area below Karina Robinsons house on Sunday 10th August.

I very cheekily had asked all the residents past Karinas to contribute towards the costs of fencing materials.

Thankyou to all these people who so willingly gave:- Lyle Tavener, Archie and Celia Bigg, Mary and Bernie Christian-Bailey, Max and Ev Hobbins, John and Mary Duke, John and Jan Pearson, Susie and Matt Bigg, Jim and Margaret Kiernan, Pat Buffett, Jan and Arthur Keeping, Chris Ciantor and Sorell Wilby, Wayne and Colleen Derby, Neil Morgan, Merv Buffett, Adam and Jenny Jauczius, Tania Anderson, Terry and Debbie Watson, Chris Hawkins, Bob and Narelle Little, Yarm and Sue Menzies, Mike and Barbara Hehir, Deb and Ikey Bataille, Lou and Jimbo Tavener.

Enough money was raised to fence the entire bank although only the cleared section was fenced at this time.

Thank you to these people who got in and made the fence:- Jimbo, Merv Buffett, Wayne Derby, Brian McGrath, John Pearson and Ian Kiernan. Well done yorlye.. it looks great!

One more ‘thank you’ - to the second stage Stockyard Road team who cleared this section of bank during the Landcare Woody Weed Roadside Cleanup who were- Ian and Jasmine Kiernan, Jimbo and Lou Tavener, Andrew and Raewynne Maxwell, Tania Anderson, Deb and Terry Watson.

The planting of the fenced in area will be held Sunday 24th August 8am. We’ll have all the plants, gel, fertiliser and a posthole boarer to dig the holes! Please come and give a hand if you can.

Enquries to Lou Ph 50777

A few weeks ago we travelled across to Norfolk Island to get married. The time we spent on the island was one we’ll never forget. We found everyone on the island to be very friendly and we were overwhelmed by the many good wishes by people who worked in shops and on tours we attended. We felt like royalty.

Most notably we would like to thank Trent Christian who not only dedicated songs to us at the fish fry and at the Sunday markets, but made us feel privileged to join in the touch football on Sunday. It was the stuff dreams are made of, especially for our nephew Tom.

Our wedding was perfect and was made possible by all the people who helped out, especially Lynne Mogey, whose dedication over the last few months was priceless. She helped organise all aspects of the wedding by email and for someone who had never met us, her choices were perfect.

Our ceremony performed by Rev. Oldfield sealed our marriage and was very moving. We were happy to see the N.Z. tourists who attended the service and were grateful for the lovely gifts.

The Netball Associations catering at our reception was exceptional. The home cooked dishes and friendly service made us feel right at home.

We appreciate all the effort all of you went to, you made us feel like we’d known you forever. Our cake, made by Simone from the newsagent, was not only a masterpiece, but was delicious.

Our photographer, Jo and her mum Robyn captured moments of our special day. They did a great job and were very patient, allowing us to capture as much of the vast scenery as possible.

Of course, we couldn’t of got to all these locations without our driver, Brendon. Special mention to the motorbike rider who stopped and allowed us to use his bike in some photos.

When we decided to hold our wedding on Norfolk Island we didn’t imagine it would be so wonderful. It was a perfect day and a perfect holiday. We had a great time - so much so we are looking into returning for our first wedding anniversary. Hopefully we can meet up with some people we got to know and say ‘hi’.

Matt and Heather Jackson

The Publicity Officer from the Norfolk Island Quota Club has been very naughty. Well, it isn’t the first time and possibly it won’t be the last time she has been rather re-miss! She’s made some real whoppers in her day!

“Sex and the City” evening affair article was published in last week’s The Norfolk Islander for all to read and for those who attended the premier to remember! It is rather a dangerous exercise to list and thank folks. This was sincerely done, but she forgot to say a huge thank you to the Manager George Smith and ALL his staff at the Norfolk Island Radio Station. The daily broadcasts over the airwaves certainly enticed the ladies to attend the gala affair.

Therefore, on behalf of the President and Members of the Quota Club thank you for us Radio Communicators for your share in making the night the tremendous success it was.

Please accept her apology, she will do better next time. Truly.

Maureen King (Publicity Officer)

Letters to the Editor

Dear SirA big thanks to Mike King for suppling the

community with the public information regarding the island’s financial situation as we all suspect it to be, but that our government was too scared to share.

Good to hear too that the Chief Minister is having such a diverse, entertaining and full life in his elected role, flitting about the Pacific on yet ANOTHER publicly funded ministerial junket... surely the envy of all those struggling on Norfolk, and wondering when the tourist numbers are going to increase as promised so many times.

THIS might be a good week for the Chief Minister to take one of his “strolls through town” , perhaps this time visit ALL the shopkeepers, and see how much praise there really is.

Is it time to stop all the bull sh*@, self back patting and pipe dreams of harbours and the like, and start to do some real work to turn Norfolk’s economy around yet..... or has that horse already bolted??

Yours etc.We don’t really need to hear the gloating!

Letters to the Editor - continued

Dear Sir,I have a few questions about the planned Mega

Harbour scheme.1. How much of Norfolk’s money has already been

spent on the planning of this Mega port?2. How long before the people of Norfolk get a

look at this plan. Or are we going to find out when the bulldozers turn up at Cascade?

3. Is the Minister for Finance aware of ‘governmental process?

4. What is the exact state of the Minister for Finances ‘executive powers’ - And can the people of Norfolk get a definition?

5. Who is running the ‘rockshow’ downtown? The Chief Minister or The Minister for Finance?

People are starting to wonder about that last point. Yours etc,

Concerned.

You will all know that for the past 3 years we have operated a Woody Weed Roadside Cleanup with fantastic community support. There are some areas which have had steep heavily wooded banks which teams have got in and cleared. On request the Government has agreed to assess these areas and may allow permission to block the cattle from these banks and to plant them in native trees and shrubs.

While it tends to get whizzed past; if you have time drive a little slower and have a look at the great work done by Alan (Gotty/Snow) Summerscales on the bank past Strawberry Fields on the corner heading towards Les Quintals. It is looking fantastic – well done Gotty!

Another place to appreciate the hard work done in a tough area; is the clearing of the steep bank of Taylors Road. This is a work in progress – well done to Darren Nicholai for his solo effort in doing this bank.

The team who did Rocky Point Road from Bumborus Turnoff to the bottom of the Hill near Maggie’s was Plute and Anne Snell, Joy, Casey and Matt Snell, Peter and Jenny Magri, Don and Maree Reynolds, Stephen and Becky Nobbs, Roy Nobbs, Shell, Tiarna and Gup Finch, Brett and Maggie Berganin, John Mogey, Di and Nobby Bruce, Gaelene and John Christian. The steep corner above Maggie is cleared and the remaining woody weed regrowth will be sprayed. With permission given already; a short fence is to be erected to keep the cattle off the bank and then planting will commence. Good on yorlye!

Lastly a more well known area due to the recent publicity about work going on there. The team doing Stockyard Road from ‘Girlies’ (Old Vet clinic) to the intersection of Two Chimneys/Stockyard Roads who comprised Ian and Jasmine Kiernan, Jimbo and Lou Tavener ,Andrew and Raewynne Maxwell, Tania Anderson, Deb and Terry Watson cleared about one third of the big heavily wooded bank below Karina Robinsons House. (They plan to continue work clearing this bank each consecutive Woody Weed Roadside Cleanup until complete.) Lou sought and received permission from Mike Johnson – Foreman; for permission to fence and plant the area. She then did an appeal to the residents of Stockyard Road and Two Chimneys who lived past this point to contribute towards the cost of fencing materials. While not all gave; a great proportion did and enough funds were raised to cover costs to fence the entire bank. Sunday the 10th August; some of the residents got in and fenced the cleared area. Sunday the 24th August it will be planted. Forestry have donated the plants and its all go. Well done to all who have contributed to the beautification of this area.

It is great to see the roadside work continuing even though the Woody Weed Roadside Cleanup is over for this year. If you are a team who has a bank that might fit the bill too; contact Lou and we’ll see if we can help in any way.

The Case of the “Missing Boiler”or who nicked the handle?

Following the article in last week’s paper under the heading ‘From Grandfather’s Notebook’, I undertook some further research as to who it was who had been accused in 1908 ‘as being an accessory before the fact in the wrongful disposal of the whole or part thereof of a copper boiler an old relick [sic] of the ‘Bounty’ and the property of the Norfolk Island community valued at about £10 more or less”.

On the off chance that details of the case might still be held at Kingston, I rang the Registry Office and thanks to the assistance of Allen Bataille, Margaret

Prentice and Sarlu LeCren the transcript of the case was located in the Court Archives.

As will be seen from the above photograph of the copper boiler which is now held at Kingston in the Pier Store Museum, one of handles and a goodly piece of the boiler is missing.

From the laboriously hand-written statements presented to the Court, it was revealed that two boilers (referred to as kettles) one large and one small, had, together with the ‘Bounty’ gun, a vice and 2 anvils come from Pitcairn in 1856. The larger of the two boilers, the vice and one of the anvils had gone back with Mayhew Young and Moses Young when they returned to Pitcairn in 1858.

Public meetings had been held to determine the ownership of the remaining boiler and it was decided that it belonged to the community. However, with the permission of the then Chief Magistrate, the kettle could be taken from house to house and used for washing clothes etc., but it was never considered to be private property.

The problem arose when, in April 1908, the kettle, which had been at the home of John Forester Young at Longridge (now the home of Ron and Marlene Campion), went missing.

After much searching for the missing kettle by Policeman “Cobby” Robinson, Mr. Stephen Christian and others, the following ‘Information ot General Purposes’ was released - “On the 6th day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eight at Kingston, in the Colony of Norfolk Island, Fletcher E. Quintal, Superintendent of the Constabulary of

The Case of the “Missing Boiler” - continued Norfolk Island appeared before me the undersigned,

one of His Majesty’s Justices duly assigned to keep the peace for our Lord the King, in and for the Colony of Norfolk Island, and informs me ‘that on or about the 16th day of April in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and eight, from information that I have received and under circumstances within my knowledge, I have reasonable and just cause to suspect and document that John Forester Young as being an accessory before the fact in the unlawful disposal of the whole or part thereof of a copper boiler, an old relick [sic] of the ‘Bounty’ and the property of the Norfolk Island community valued at almost £10 more or less. Signed by by Fletcher E. Quintal, the Chief Constable and Francis Mason Nobbs, Justice of the Peace.

Another of the interesting papers relating to the case states “that John Forester Young did, on about the 10th day of April in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and eight at Norfolk Island assist and aid one Arthur Southam to steal and carry away a certain relic belonging to the Norfolk Island community known as the ‘Bounty Boiler’. (Southam was an employee of the Pacific Cable Board).

The wheels of Justice slowly turned and in July 1908, the case of-

The King versus John Forester Youngon an Indictment as being an accessory before

the fact in the wrongful dispossl of the whole of part thereof a copper kettle, an old relic

of the ‘Bounty’ got under way.Witnesses in the trial were - Francis Mason Nobbs,

Alexander Anderson, Stephen Christian, Allen Buffett, Rupert Young, Miss Alice Reid and Olive Young.

J.M. Laing, John Chapman, Edwards Buffett, Harry Everitt, Alexander Nobbs, E. Stephenson, George Bailey, F.W. Heaps, F.A. Allen, Fortescue Buffett, Nathaniel (?), Hardy Rossiter, Edward Christian and W.M. Pearson were called for Jury service.

This was followed by a Summons (and don’t you love the wording) to “Mr. Rupert Young, Mr. A.B. Moors, Stephen Christian, Alexander Anderson and Allen Buffett, to you and each of you, are hereby commanded that all excuses being laid aside, you and each of you be and appear in your own proper person before the Magistrates Court at Kingston on Monday, 12th October at 12.30 of the clock in the forenoon and so from day to day as may be required of you or either of you to testify all or singularly what you or either of you know in a certain course, referred to in the margin hereof, now depending in undetermined then and there to be tried and at your peril, fail not”. This was also signed by Frances Mason Nobbs.

There was a difficulty in choosing a jury as a large number of potential jurors were related to the accused and eventually seven elders - Lindsay Buffett, Pardon Snell, Leslie Quintal, Allen Christian, Harry (Cornish) Quintal, Edward Allen and E.R. Saffery were empanelled.

The case was heard before Acting Judge Pollack with Mr. James Young appearing for the Crown and Oliver Macy for the Defendant John Forester Young.

Although the papers in the archives do not say so in so many words, it appears from the Statements given during the case, that Mr. Southam, who was staying with the Young’s at the time, was the guilty person.

This was borne out by the Statement of Allen Buffett, who said in part - “I was in charge of the shipping on board the ‘Tambo’ (one of Burns Philp’s ships) while on her way to Sydney. I helped to load [passenger’s] luggage on to the boats. I did not see anything suspicious about any of the luggage but did remember that a sea bag was very heavy. I made the remark as I handed the sea bag into the boat and someone told me to take out the handle of the ‘Bounty’ kettle.

RupertYoung, son of the accused, in his Statement said:- “The kettle was the one at my father’s house in April and it had been there about 12 months. I last saw it there at about 10 o’clock at night on Easter Monday. I next saw it last Saturday night at Mr. Macy Quintal’s place. I found it in the middle of the road near his gate, about 3/4 of a mile from my father’s house. I was alone when I found it. I went to see Mr. Quintal but he was not at home. I then carried it to our place where Mr. Quintal identified it. I said to my father ‘this was the kettle that was lost’ and he said ‘yes, that is the kettle. I was accused of disposing of it’.

‘When I saw it on Easter Monday, I coud not say whether it had two handles or not, but when I saw it previous to this, it had two handles. Mr. Southam was lving at my father’s place for about a week before going away. Chads Taylor helped me unload the cart of luggage on the day that Mr. Southam went away”.

His father,John Forester Young stated - “I know Mr. Southam. I did not authorise him to remove the copper kettle. I did not authorise anyone to remove the kettle from my place. I did not give away part of the kettle to anyone nor did I authorise any one to take it away from the place.

The rim was removed before coming to my place and all but a little bit was left close to one of the handles. I saw the article when it was brought to my house last Saturday and it is in the same condition.

I remember being at the Council meeting when the copper kettle was brought up. When the question was brought up I was asked ‘what had I done towards recovering the missing kettle?’ I told the President that as it didn’t come under the heading Wharves, Roads or Bridges (which the Council looked after), I did not think that it was a matter for him to enquire into’,

The Superintendent of Police asked me if I knew my position so I told him ‘Yes, I know my position

The Case of the “Missing Boiler” - continuedand his to, and if he and the President wanted something to do, they should look after the missing timber that was put under our charge’.

I did not abuse the President of the Council (he called him a liar and a thief), but used the term to answer the Councillors when the discussion was at its height.

Mr. Allen Buffett here, put in that Mr. Southam had the kettle handle and that I knew all about it. I now inform the Court that I know nothing of Mr. Southam having it. Mr. Southam left on or about 23rd April. He was staying at my house for about a week before leaving. The kettle was not kept in my yard but outside about 20 yards from the house.

I saw it last at my place on Easter Sunday. I do not know if it had two handles then or not. The kettle was used while Mr. Southam was there. The girls used it for washing. I missed the kettle on the Friday following Easter Sunday, 24th April. I had no idea where this kettle was from when it was first missed until it was found. I did not value the copper.

I first heard of the value of boiler at the Council meeting. To my knowledge there have only been 2 parties that came to my house to see the copper. I

do not recollect my wife telling me of the value that was put on the copper by a tourist (Miss Alice Reid, a tourist who went to see the kettle, told Mrs. Young that the kettle was of considerable value).

I was down at the landing place after Mr. Southam went on board. I did not help to pass his luggage in the cart. I do not know that Olive gave him the handle of the copper. I have never given anyone permission to take it away. This rim was taken off the kettle before it came to my house but it had two handles when it came there”.

The jury, after 4 hours of deliberation, acquitted John Forester Young.

Costs for the case amounted to £1/14/6. When you now look at the “Bounty’ Boiler which

is now a great feature in the Pier Store Museum, you will know the story of why there is only one handle. One can only assume that Mr. Southam got away with the other handle and hopefully it is still in his families possession. It could be that he sold it for the value of the copper or, like many other things, it may have been thrown out by his descendants as being just another worthless piece of junk.

A POPULAR AND ICONIC BUSINESS

WITH AN EXCELLENT TURNOVER

A Page from the PastThe Norfolk Islander - 12th August, 1966

The Fishing Industry on Norfolk Island - In view of the interest and comment that the proposed establishment of a fishing factory on Norfolk Island has aroused, we think it might be opportune to publish some extracts from the “Report on the Fisheries of Norfolk Island” prepared by Mr. H. Van Pel, Fisheries Officer of the South Pacific Commission.

Mr. Van Pel, at the request of His Honour Mr. R.S. Leydin, Administrator of Norfolk Island and the Norfolk Island Advisory Council, carried out a general survey of the fishing industry in Norfolk Island and adjacent waters from 17th January to 14th February, 1959. This report was written for non-scientists “because” said Mr. Van Pel, “the greatest problem in Norfolk Island at the moment is in connection with the economic side of the fishing industry”.

His report went on:- “There have been several endeavours to establish a fishing industry in this Territory. As has been the case with other efforts to establish various local industries, they were short-lived. In 1920, an attempt was made by a company, who erected a factory at the Cockpit, Cascades. Because of the lack of supplies the company had to close its factory and freezing works which were later totally destroyed by fire.

In 1937, Burns Philp (S.S.) Co. Limited established a freezing works at Kingston for the storage of fish. During the years 1937 and 1938, 3,660 lb. and 13,120 lb. of frozen fish, respectively, were exported. However, during the latter part of the year 1939, the plant was disposed of to a local resident for use in connection with a butchery business. Weather conditions, causing uncertainty of supplies, was a main factor in bringing about the end of this endeavour.

The third endeavour to establish the industry was made by the Norfolk Island Industries Limited, a company registered in Norfolk Island in the beginning of 1945. The total declared value of fish exported by that company during its operations amounted to £2,842. Norfolk Island Industries Limited employed 2 trawlers brought to Norfolk Island from Australia, and erected a factory and freezing works at Burnt Pine. Both trawlers were lost at Norfolk Island; one being wrecked on the shore at Cascade Bay in 1946 and the other destroyed by fire off Headstone in February, 1947. When the second trawler was destroyed the company discontinued operations. A launch owned by the company was lost in April 1948 while attempting to enter Emily Bay through the opening in the reef.

The Burnt Pine Investment Co. Limited erected a fish freezing plant with a storage capacity of 20 tons opposite the Norfolk Island Whaling Company buildings at Cascade and this was later taken over by the Norfolk Island Whaling Company. This company, acting as exporter of frozen fish, suffered losses on this commodity and the reduced price offered was not remunerative for the fishermen.

In setting out the advantages for the fishing industry on Norfolk Island, Mr. Van Pel went on to say that “the Norfolk shelf could produce annually, without

danger of over-fishing, 120 tons of Trumpeter, 30 tons of other bottom fish and 200 tons of pelagic fish”. A total of 784,000 lb.

Council Notes - Cnr. Ryves read a letter re the proposed formation of a Chamber of Commerce. The first meeting of interested persons was to be held on Friday, 12th August.

Cnr. Bathie said he thought it was a very good thing as it would cover the whole aspect of business ethics and everything that goes with business. Every commercial community that is going to function on sound business lines has found it necessary to have a Chamber of Commerce.

A similar letter also proposed the establishment of a Association of Accommodation Proprietors. Speaking once again Cnr. Bathie said “I think this is the most important thing that we do to establish this. We have people who keep a very good house, clean flats, but there are some that do not abide by the regulations or the required standards. The best tourist you can get is the satisfied tourist. If you get one who has been put in a dog box, he is not too happy! As soon as he gets back to wherever he or she comes from, their first comment about Norfolk Island would be - ‘it stinks!” Cnr. Bathie also suggested that the Association may give thought to the idea of classifying establishments on the Island under a “star” system as is done on the mainland.

Royal Honour for Pitcairn Leader - When Acting Lieutenant Fletcher Christian rose up against Captain Blight aboard His Majesty’s ship ‘Bounty’ in 1789, he not only put himself offside with the British Crown, but he brought dishonour on the whole of the Christian family. The sins of the arch mutineer have hung vaguely over the Christian family - particularly the Christians of Pitcairn Island - ever since. But now, it seems, all has been forgiven. Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II in her Birthday Honours List was graciously pleased to make one of Fletcher Christian’s direct descendants, John Lorenzo Christian, a Member of the Order of the British Empire. Mr. Christian, MBE, has been Magistrate at Pitcairn for eleven of the past 15 years.

Letters to the Editor - Re the proposed new fishing factory. Some of the objections could be possibly turned into an advantage by the waste material. Why dispose of it? Turn it into stock food be means of a steam heated digester and simply cook it in a copper with as little water as possible. Fo further enquiries please contact Dick Cavill, 3 Madeline Street, Hunter’s Hill.

Oceania humpback whales listed as Endangered

Thursday, 14 August 2008, 10:12 amPress Release: South Pacific Whale Research

New threat listings released yesterday by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) bring mixed news for humpback whales.

In the new threat listings of cetaceans worldwide the status of humpback whales has moved from “Threatened” to “Least concern”. This good news means they are now at low risk of extinction. However, the news for the Arabian Sea and Oceania Humpback whale sub-populations is not so rosy; their populations have been classified as “Endangered”.

“We welcome the listing of Oceania humpbacks as endangered” says Dr Simon Childerhouse of the South Pacific Whale Research Consortium, “ongoing work by researchers from the Consortium across the South Pacific has demonstrated that while whales in some areas are showing good signs of recovery from whaling, others remain at extremely low levels and still require protection”.

Of particular interest to New Zealanders is the Oceania Humpback whale sub-population. These whales are found around Eastern Australia and the South Pacific, including those that migrate past New Zealand every year.

Dr Childerhouse adds “There has been a lack of recovery of humpbacks in places such as Fiji, Norfolk Island, and New Caledonia with only a very slow recovery in New Zealand. Despite more than 40 years of protection, whales in these areas have not recovered from the commercial and illegal whaling that nearly lead to their extinction. Overall, it’s estimated that humpbacks in Oceania today, are less than 20% of the numbers there were 60 years ago. There’s no room for complacency here.”

The research that lead to new listing of endangered for Oceania humpbacks came from a collaborative research programme by scientists of the South Pacific Whale Research Consortium. The Consortium represents more than 30 scientists from over 10 countries across the South Pacific.

Dr. Childerhouse noted that “without the dedication, commitment and collaborative spirit of these scientists, Oceania humpbacks would have been listed as “Least Concern” rather than the “Endangered” status that they deserve. Furthermore, all of this work was undertaken using non-lethal research techniques, unlike the Japanese scientific research programme, which states that it needs to kill whales to study them.

The Japanese scientific whaling programme in the Antarctic has stated that it plans to kill 50 humpbacks in the waters south of New Zealand and Australia. While they did not kill humpbacks last summer as they originally planned, they are likely to do so this coming summer.

“If the Japanese continue with their stated objective to kill 50 humpback whales, they are likely to be killing whales from the Endangered Oceania population. This is both unacceptable and unnecessary as almost

all of the information that the Japanese say they need can be collected using non-lethal techniques” stressed Dr Childerhouse. We commend the New Zealand Governments strong position against whaling and highlight that the recent endangered listing demonstrates that Oceania humpback whale still require protection and conservation.

Eternal life In a recent survey it was found 55 % of all Americans

under the age of 40 believe in life after death. When asked about their belief in God, only 45% of them believed in Him. Many Americans believe in a life after death that does not include God. I wonder what figures would result if Norfolk Islanders were surveyed?

I assume what young people are thinking about is reincarnation. I fail to see the attraction of reincarnation. Reincarnation is a popular belief in India. It is that belief that has led to much of the suffering the poor endure there. Reincarnation believes that we keep on living lives till our Spirit achieves a state of enlightenment. Each previous life determining the quality of our next life. If I have lived a good life this time, I will return in a little better condition than in my previously. If I muck things up this time round. Then next time I will return in a lower state. All life is karma, we live the lives we deserve. No moral obligation for anyone to do anything to help make conditions better for the millions who suffer in extreme poverty. The poor are living the lives they deserve. To help, would only interfere with karma.

Reincarnation is morally bankrupt.The next problem is that the guidelines are vague.

How good do you have to be? How many life times will it take before you even start on the road. In a system where even coach roaches have the potential to attain Nirvana, it must be nearly impossible to reach the required state of enlightenment.

Reincarnation is not only morally bankrupt it vague on detail.

The third problem with reincarnation is there is not one jot of tangible evidence to support the belief. Just vague stories of past life experiences. Surely even if reincarnation was true only one person could have been Marie Antoinette?

Reincarnation is morally bankrupt, vague and it has no evidence to support the belief.

Just compare reincarnation to Christianity. Christianity demands I help others, do what I can to see justice done and people are treated with dignity and compassion as Jesus did himself. The Christian Church has always led the world in charitable works.

God through the Bible has made it clear that people live only once. Then we enter eternity, either to be with God in heaven or to be punished. The relationship we have established with God in this one life is what determines where you will spend eternity. If we get to know God in this life God, God will welcome you into heaven, reject God in this life and God will reject you in the next.

All this has real evidence. Jesus lived, that is a fact. He died, an historical fact. Executed on a cross, fact, recorded in numerous places. But death did not hold Jesus. He rose from the grave. He conquered death and offers all who believe in him an eternal home in heaven. That also is fact witnessed by over 500 people over a period of 40 days.

As I said earlier I don’t see why anyone would find reincarnation an attractive philosophy when Christianity has so much more to offer.

��Problems orchallenges?The Creative response to conflict is about turningproblems into possibilities. It is aboutconsciously choosing to see what can be done,rather than staying with how terrible it all is. It isaffirming that you will choose to extract the bestform the situation.Our attitudes colour our thoughts. Usually we arequite unaware of how they shape the way we seethe world. Two dramatically contrasting attitudesin life are "Perfection" versus "Discovery". Let'scall them attitude "hats". What "hat" do you getdressed in each day? Do you see difficulties asproblems or as challenges?The Perfection hat says: "Is this good enough ornot?" (Usually not!) "Does this meet myimpeccably high standards?"The Discovery hat says: "How fascinating! Whatare the possibilities here?"

Under our Perfection hat our mind is chatteringabout:� Right or wrong?; Do I measure up?� Life is struggle; Mistakes are unacceptable.� Judgement; Unbendable beliefs about what's

proper. Failure!!� Do you measure up? Life is hard work.� I have to be right. Blame.� Don't take any chances;� Low self-esteem!��

��

Such yardsticks can be used to make decisionsabout traffic jams, your partner, the kids, thephotostat machine, the boss and - above all - you.Is there a Discovery hat still sitting on the shelf inyour wardrobe of possibilities? You may hardlyhave worn it since you were a young child. Whenyou learnt to walk you didn't go "right foot","wrong foot". It was just right foot, left foot, andeach fall was as interesting as the next step. Tothe young child, everything is part of the greatexperiment.You can get out that hat again and dust it off.What's tucked away underneath your Discoveryhat?� Exploration; Enthusiasm; Let's take a risk;

� What are the possibilities?� Everything's a success; Acceptance;� Play; Inquiry; Experiment;� How else can we look at this?

� High self-esteem!��

�� If there are no failures, only learning,self-esteem gets a big boost upwards. You can puton your Discovery hat and problems look likeintriguing crossword puzzles. "What will make thedifference so he stops complaining to me all thetime?", "What else can I try to get the kids to helpwith washing up?", "What are we freed up to donow that $7 million order has just been cancelled?","How fascinating, the photostat machine has brokendown again!" ��

�� can be regarded as splendid opportunitiesfor learning. We are at our most energised as westand ready to act on the edge of our personalunknowns. But that means we're going to makesome mistakes. To tap the benefits of initiative, wereally need to play down our judgement andcriticism. Of course, we need to acknowledge errorsand go through a correcting process. But when wemove to discovery mode, we're not overly cautiousabout making mistakes and we don't make otherpeople too cautious to act resourcefully by beingoverly critical. When an organization encouragesthe willingness to risk in its employees, it gets analive and motivated staff.

Life is not about winning and losing - it's aboutlearning. When you fall down, you pick yourself upand note where the pot-hole was so you can walkaround it the next time. A person who has gone "toofar" knows just how far they can go. No "winners -and - losers", just "winners - and - learners". That'sthe essence.

St. John Ambulance, AustraliaNorfolk Island Division

Watawieh Yorlye?Thanks to Charles, several people took up his

suggestion and gave me some individual floggings during the week. If nothing else, I have learned to refer to the controversial objects of putting as “Golf white spherical thingys”

Hope everyone enjoyed the 1st Aid course and we now have the format for future classes. Refresher courses will be 2 nights and ‘first timers’ will be over 4 nights. We are currently organising an advanced 1st Aid course for those that require this qualification and we will let you know when we have a date.

For anyone who maybe thinking of volunteering with the Ambulance or Cliff Rescue, Advanced 1st Aid is a requirement. I suggest that you book into the upcoming course as the next one will not be until late November. The Ambulance could use another 5-6 officers at the moment and we will welcome you with open arms.

St John Norfolk Island is an organisation made up of non-professional volunteers and we will give you all the training you need. Our primary task is to get people to the hospital as quickly as possible and into the hands of trained medical staff. As an Ambulance Officer you will be trained in Applied 1st Aid, Advanced 1st Aid, have regular training in CPR, use of Ambulance equipment, pain relief, undergo regular ‘skills maintenance programs’ and to become a First Officer – learn “Pre-Hospital Care”

If you think you would like to join I would be happy to talk about it and you can call me at home on 23650. Most of the call-outs we get are fairly routine, but bear in mind that on occasion, you will be subjected to stressful situations including serious injury and death.

On a lighter note, the annual Golf Classic begins on Monday and as usual it is a packed field. Welcome back to all the regular visitors and newcomers. I hope you all have as good a time as the members always do and we certainly love having you here.

Barley Christian and I have been practicing for the tournament out on Kingfisher reserve and we even mowed a green out in the paddock to hit to. It took us a while before we could hit any ‘White spherical thingys’ to it because the cows all surrounded the green to eat the mown grass. I also had to eject Chris Magri from the area because he refused to pay the green fees.

Finally – The Ambulance sausage sizzle is at my place on Sunday – unfortunately I’m on-call and will have to drink coffee while everyone else drinks beer – all I can say is – Golf Balls to that!

God’s Pharmacy! Amazing!A friend sent this to me. It’s been said that God first

separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we’d need before we were born.

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body! These are best and more powerful when eaten raw. We’re such slow learners.

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just

like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Mens BowlsYes! Another year as passed! The silver-ware will

now be given to all winners of Club Championships! To those who missed out remember the new season starts tomorrow!

This afternoon its Mixed Trophy Bowls (I believe dress is mufti but check when you ring the bowls desk). Names in by 1-30pm for a 2.00pm start, and a plate would be good.

Last Saturday afternoon the final of the Mens Triples Championship was run and won. Dave Smith Skipping Norm LeCren and Jack Fraser were looking for three titles on the trot in this event but they were up against Jim Rawlinson skipping Kerry Roberts with Dan Yager playing lead.

With no disrespect to the latter team - if you were a book maker fielding on the game and gave even money you would have been knocked over! Bowls is not only a great game, but also a funny game! (and I don’t mean funny ha! ha!... depends on what side of the score card you are on (only kidding))

On end 1 Dave’s team picked a ‘1’. Jim, Kerry and Dan hit back with a ‘2’ and on the next a’ 5’. On the 5th end the score was 8-2 (the bookmaker again got knocked over at evens). From then on it was all Jim, Kerry and Dan who at the half way mark (9 ends) were in front 20-3.

Dave’s team shook hands on end 15 with the final score 24-7! Well done Jim, Kerry, Dan and to Dave, Norm, Jack I know you will be back looking for 3 from 4!

My man of match in the final was Dan (the man) Yager who played some great lead bowls. Not taking anything of Kerry or Jim who also played very well but to say Dan was on fire would an understatement! And we all know the most important position is lead - some skips would not agree but good ones do!

To all have a great new season on the green! Play well and remember - the more practice you put in, the luckier you get!

Archery NewsLast weekend a small group completed the August

Monthly Medal event kndly supported by Rob and the Kentia Palms Nursery.

While the field was small, the competition was no less fierce with the scores all being close, and as usual, anyone could have won it.

Congratulations to Steve Ford who shot one of his best rounds to be the day’s winner with a good score of 131 (from a possible 180) giving him 28 handicap points.

Other scores were Bob 142 / 26; Doug 128 / 24; Keelan 128 / 22; Bert 135 / 22; Gina 37; Lleyton 38 and Jeht 69.

The 3D competition for the set of rangefinders os also going well. Anyone is able to win that also, especially with archers leaving the island from time to time and missing a round.

Current standings (thanks Marie) see Sam on 2222; Bob 2218; Doug 2166; Steve 2006; Jonno 1846; Keelan 1764; Bert 1460; Marie 1342; Marg 1308; Lleyton 1234; Lorraine 1160; Jeht 870; Jesse 840; Gina 806; Richard 708; Helen 696; Rosa 680; Lurline 656; Rob 508; Liam 340; Steven 302; Jo 244 and Guppy 78.

Many of the lower scores are there because they have only shot one or two rounds from the seven rounds that the event has so far been run over.

Today we may be shooting a 3D if there are enough helpers putting the course out. Hopefully we’ll see you there.

Wednesday Golf Wednesday 13 August was the Silver and Bronze

Stroke event.Winning the ladies was the ‘in form’ Colleen Valois

with a nett 72. Robyn Lockhart came in second with nett 74.

Winning the men’s was Deisel with a fantastic 66 nett closely followed by Cooky Gardiner with a great 68 nett. Marbles came through in third place beating Barley on a countback with nett 70.

The pro pin was won by the Joel Kelly who also had an eagle on the second! Well done Joel!

It was also great to welcome back our regular visitors and others over for the Norfolk Island Golf Classic to be held next week.

This means that there will be no Wednesday golf next week due to this.

This Saturday however will be Foodlands Day and Wednesday 27 August will be NSW Stroke and Putting – so see you all there.

Yoga benefits for sports peopleIt is well documented that sportspeople from A

grade league players, the Australian cricket team and Olympic rowers use the practice of yoga as part of their training plan.

A great benefit of yoga poses is that they warm up the muscles. The muscle needs to have increased blood flow in order to warm up before other physical activity, if the muscle isn’t warm it won’t move and stretch the may it may need to in order to perform in the sport of choice.

One of the most known benefits of yoga and yoga classes are the elongation of muscles. Every stretch in a yoga class offers the muscle the chane to move a little further past the level of comfort each time, the longer you practice yoga the longer the muscles will become and the more elongated the body as a whole will look.

Yoga when practiced correctly can help an athlete to prevent injuries. Yoga poses increase the blood flow to the muscle and allow the muscles to move more freely on a quicker basis. This means less injuries from tight muscles that are unstretched and cold.

The benefits of practicing yoga include body benefits, fitness benefits, injury prevention benefits and mental benefits. But also there are those benefits that are less than physical, the time spent practicing yoga focuses the yogi to focus on the mind and body as one. The core solidity of the body needs to be balanced and that requires a mental focus beyond all others.

Classes this week are Tuesday with Sarah 5.30pm – 7.00pm, and Thursday with Sue 5.30pm – 7.00pm. Classes are held upstairs in the Cyber Centre and the cost is $6 per class.

The Junior Commonwealth Games to be held in the city of Pune in India will include the Norfolk Island Junior Tennis Squad. These young people, all members of the Cheryl Tennis Club, are undergoing intensive training to maintain fitness, tennis form and suitability to represent their country.

The junior players who have been selected are:-• Georgie Gray• Darryl Christian-Reynolds• Sam Taylor• James Elliott• Rhys Schmitz

Georgie has been attending school in Young, NSW, since January 2008 where she is receiving intensive tennis coaching. The four boys continue their training with our local Coach, Danny Nobbs. They spend 7_ hours on court with Danny each week, do their own fitness training 2-3 hours per week and play in the Tuesday and Wednesday Cheryl Tennis Club night competitions. This commitment is all part of retaining a place in the Squad.

All of those selected in the Squad played in the Junior tournament in Sydney last April and Danny says their tennis improved then and so far has continued to get better. He also says the juniors are looking forward to meeting up with Georgie, going to India and to the challenge of playing in the Junior Commonwealth Games. The Squad will be accompanied to India by Danny and two parents.

Danny, on behalf of Junior Tennis, would like to thank the community for its encouragement and for supporting their fund raising. The Club says thank you too – and thanks to Danny and the parents of all our junior tennis players for the effort you and the kids put in.

News of other tennis juniors who have recently moved off-island – from Pete and Catherine Yager we hear that middle daughter, Rachel competes this weekend in the under 10’s division of the JDS Medibank North East Tennis Champion of Champions being played at Inverell. She has played in the series since February and if she makes it into the top six, she’ll progress to the Junior Tennis State champs in Gosford. A big call – but knowing the delightful Rachel, she will make it. Eldest daughter Lauren plays tennis once a week, but her passion is netball and she is also trialling for her school’s water polo team. Youngest daughter Charlotte while still at the “tennis baby” stage, now has a passable serve and is keen to start playing proper games (and we hear she is a very entertaining gymnast too – and like her sisters enjoys her netball). Not sure how much tennis and golf Mum and Dad can get in with all the sporting and other activities the kids are involved with!!!!

But so good to hear from them and that all is well.

Norfolk Island Junior Rugby League

A fine day for football and there were some good games played last Sunday.Under 7’s up first and the Greens took on the Golds and this game was end to end stuff, with a few tries sored.

For the Golds, Arki and Jacob were at their scoring best whilst on the other side saw Declan and Lachlan doing their best to keep the scores close. Jordan Menadue had a good game with some excellent running, also Chris Anderson and Sam Cribb played well. On the Greens saw the return of Gina Ford from a few games away, Brancker South, and some good running from Ben Soley and Jordan Bigg. Ref’s Best and Fairest was Jordan Menadue.

The Blues played the Reds in the other game and this was an exciting game going by the cheering from the sidelines. For the Reds, Saxon Snell again played well and was helped out by Kya Snell, William Buffett, Jarrod Magri, Brayden Adams and Nathan Webster. For the Blues, James Bigg was again the stand-out and along with Nathan Nicolai, who scored a great try after a huge run, they were assisted by Ashlan Bates, Cameron Rogers and of course we can’t forget the Reynolds boys!! Ref’s Best and Fairest was Jarrod Magri.

The under 10’s was another great game this week with the first try not been scored until just before half-time and a good win by the Golds. Their defence was all moving up together this week and everybody was making a good effort.

Reuben Bigg was leading the way and getting everyone to move around the park, some good running by Adam Buffett, Jeht Nobbs, Beau Magri (with some nice offloading as well), but all in all the Golds played as a team. For the Blues, Sam Ford made a short return from being away until he was taken off hurt, Josh Christian, Levi Singer, Liam Yelavich all played well as did Curtis Buffett and Jamie Reynolds. Ref’s Best and Fairest was Tiaan Christian.

Under13’s was a very entertaining game to watch this week with the Blues really putting a good effort this week and with some good passing really took it up to the Golds.

For the Blues Luke Fitzpatrick, Dominic Evans, Stacey Glass and Ronan Davies all played well and taking them around the park was Ethan Richards and Luke Steven. For the Golds Tom Robertson was everywhere in defence and attack, Will Partridge was usual nagging self and was making sure the Golds went forward, Dylan Billman and Martyn Bigg were again elusive, Brad Wellington and Manu Naiteitei had good games as well. Ref’s Best and Fairest was William Partridge.

Gas Hot Water - Only 18.2¢ / Kwh

Junior A’s didn’t get a run this week with only 8 players showing up to play, and these players are to be congratulated on turning up, so thanks to the oldies and parents the boys took them on in a game of touch.
