Last week I took my five-year old son, Willy,
to a musical instrument store in my hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of
junior drum because his drum teacher advised me to buy him one. Willy likes
listening to music very much. He also likes asking me everything he wants to
know. Even his questions sometimes seem precocious for a boy of his age. He is
very inquisitive.
We went there by car. On the way, we saw a
policeman standing near a traffic light regulating the passing cars and other
vehicles. He blew his whistle now and then. Seeing the policeman blowing his whistle, Willy
asked me at once, "Dad, why is the policeman using a whistle, not a drum ?" Hearing his unexpected question I answered
reluctantly, "Because he is not Phil Collins!"

BANDUNG
Thousand of people who had fled from their
houses located on the slopes of smoldering Mount Gamkonara on Halmahera Island,
North Maluku province, could return to their homes after the authorities
downgraded the vulcano’s top-alert status Monday.
The
Head of the Volcanology Center and Geology Disaster Mitigation Agency,
Surono, said that the returning residents still could not get within
three kilometers are of the volcano in Ibu district, West Halmahera
regency.
The
alert status for the volcano was downgraded because the volcano e volcano had
shown less volcanic activity. Since July 10 to July 15, only to small tectonic
quakes measuring below 2 of the Richter scale were recorded in the mountain and
the volcano did not burst out hot lava or other volcanic materials from its
crater.
“Compared to the last Monday’s explosion, wherein the ash spewed was 4.000
above the crater, it is now only about 10 meters high”, Surono told the
journalist in Bandung on Monday.
Following the volcano’s increased acivity last
week, which led authorities to put it in the top
alert status, around 10.000 residents in Ibu
district fled to safety. Mos of the resident were taking shelter in Shouth Ibu
and Central Ibu districts.
Surono warned the people not to get close to the volcano because small
emissions of smoke could throw materials from the volcano’s crater.
The
1.635-meter volcano has erupted 12 times since records have been kept. The last
time ash and smoke streamed out of the volcano was in 1987. No casualties were
reported.
