KIDS GETTING INTO NEW BIN SYSTEM BY LONDA FINLAYSON | WASTE EDUCATION OFFICER The students and teachers of Wagin District High School were given a presentation on the new
three-bin system last Thursday.
Both primary and secondary were given two very different presentations to help educate them with
regards to the new bin system.
This gave the students the
opportunity to ask
questions, populate new
ideas on ways to help
reduce the schools waste
and start thinking about
how this change will
affect them.
This will be a positive
move forward for all
households to speak to
their kids about reducing,
reusing and recycling.

Hi to all our Wagin Library & Gallery Patrons and friends
Well, here we are at the start of 2019, and gearing up for new ideas, things and happenings in the Library.
Firstly, we’ve had a lovely new metal slot installed in the front door for the after-hours return of books.
This will make life a lot easier for everyone wishing to return small to regular-sized books and magazines.
However, thanks to Murphy’s Law, the larger format books simply will not fit through the slot. So, if you
have tried and failed to post your books, they will still need to be taken up to the Shire office, or easiest
of all, wait until the Library is open.
If you are 65 and over, do pick up one of the new Rural Health West surveys, "Growing Older in Your
Community" when you're in the Library next. This survey asks important questions about your views of
growing older or ageing in your community and will help the Western Australian health services
understand what the barriers and increased opportunities are for people to 'age in place' within our
local community. For your peace of mind, the survey is completely anonymous - nowhere do you have
to identify who you are, so it's a good opportunity to tell Rural Health West exactly what challenges you
face, and what your particular set of circumstances are. This will help the various State health bodies
and other key stakeholders (for instance, the Wagin Shire) to better understand and plan for your needs
now, and into the future.
The Wagin Library's Book Club kicks off again this coming Saturday afternoon, at 2 pm in the Library as
usual, and we look forward to seeing everybody again. Bring your book and a small plate of afternoon
tea to share.
What have you been reading over the Christmas break? I've been reading all things related to Sicily -
an island that has long fascinated me. Inhabited for over 10,000 years, it has a long and violent history
of conquest by the Romans, Arabs, and the Normans, to mention just a few. This has resulted in a
population with claims to a dozen or more ethnic groups, and wildly diverse cuisine to match. I have
read Sicilian cookery books, two biographies - one contemporary, and one dating from the days of the
Second World War, and three Sicilian crime mysteries. All have an element of Sicily's rich history, but also
the humour and chaos of everyday life on this island.
Here is my list:
Sicilian Food by Mary Taylor Simeti. A classic cookery book with interesting snippets of related
history and other information.
Saluté! : Food, Wine & Travel in Southern Italy by Gail and Kevin Donovan and Simon Griffiths. Feels
like you're travelling with these Aussie restauranteurs every step of the way. Gorgeous.
The Dangerously Truthful Diary of a Sicilian Housewife by Veronica Di Grigoli. A modern view of
Sicilian small-town life by an Englishwoman who married a Sicilian - the culture clash is hilarious.
A House in Sicily by Daphne Phelps. An older, but highly engaging memoir of how one Sicilian
house and the people who cared for it and it's original owner took over a young woman's life.
Auntie Poldi and the Fruits of the Lord, and Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions by Mario Giordano.
I highly recommend these well-written and humorous crime mysteries. Wish he'd write more!
The Voice of the Violin by Andrea Camilleri: An Inspector Montalbano Mystery. Simply excellent!
We look forward to seeing you all soon!

COME JOIN AEROBIC IN WAGIN AND STAY ACTIVE
People in the Wheatbelt have a higher rate of falls compared to the rest of the WA.
Some of you may be surprised that it’s not the most senior, frail people in our communities that are
the only ones having falls.
Whilst it is true that that as we get older our risks of falling and being injured by a fall increases; older
people still living in their homes are also affected.
Approximately one in three people aged 65 or over who live at home fall each year. And of those
who fell, 10% will have multiple falls and more than 30% will require medical attention.
“But falls shouldn’t be considered a normal part of ageing” states Lee Conlan, senior physiotherapist
at the southern Wheatbelt primary health service.
“Falls can be prevented and one way you can reduce your risk of falling is by being physically
active”, says Stacy.
In Wagin you can become active and help to prevent falls by joining the local stay active aerobics
class, which is an active class suitable for people 50 years or over.
The aerobics class is developed by the physiotherapist and has the added benefits of improving
cardiovascular health, decreasing blood pressure, improving mental wellbeing, helping to manage
and decrease the risk of diabetes, decreasing weight and decreasing pain.
The group meets each Monday at the Wagin recreation centre at 9 am and its free.
Come along on the 25th February 2019, when physiotherapist, Stacy Scanlan will be in attendance
and try out the exercise class.
If you can’t make it on this day or would like further information, please contact Stacy at the
physiotherapy department at southern Wheatbelt primary health service on 9881 0385.
For further information, please contact the physiotherapist department on the number above.

WARRIOR WELLBEING ARTICLE Negotiator … Action Hero … Dad
Sometimes it’s easy, other times we’re talking to Godzilla. Being a father of teenagers is challenging
and rewarding, but it doesn’t have to be a health hazard. Keep in mind, that most of us just want
three things for their kids; to be happy; to be independent and for them to contribute. That said,
we’re integral to them getting there.
We can have a fantastic relationship with our kids but don’t fall into the trap of trying to be their
best mate. They need boundaries, they yearn for them, however as teenagers, they’ll want a stake
in setting them. For that to happen, our parenting style needs to become more a negotiator than
a Dictator. We’re teaching them life skills around conflict resolution, developing a voice and being
concise. This helps them immeasurably in their adult lives.
Negotiating allows our kids to see an argument through someone else’s eyes. Even if they don’t
agree, we’re developing empathy and understanding rather than dogmatism and pigheadedness.
The by-product of this is developing a loving relationship with our kids rather than dysfunction.
Attentive Dads are linked with a lower incidence of depression, suicide and lawbreaking in our
youth. We’re also role-modeling for their future relationships; the way we parent or behave towards
our partner, will be acted out by them. Conversely, harsh parenting is linked to not only depression
in teenagers but in fathers as well.
What Are Some Ways to Get Involved in Our Teenagers Life?
Be there; not right up in their grill! Just around. Sometimes being that mentor figure, for them
to know that they can lean on us or ask for guidance is priceless without them even knowing
it.
Be active; Ride a bike; Go for a walk together; Shoot some hoops. If they’re not overly sporty,
substitute with a hobby, board game or cards.
Become the student; Letting our teenagers take the reins and teach us something, even if it’s
just a game that they’re into, builds their confidence and assertiveness.
Parent; Have boundaries and enforce them. The world has rules and consequences so, not
exposing them to this can leave them vulnerable.
Be a negotiator; the results will be twofold. Our relationship will be so much more pleasant;
and our kids will learn skills to better equip them as young adults and future parents.
Share passions; Talk passionately about what interests you, and listen attentively to them, it
can be contagious and create new bonds for both of you.
Spend time with them and let them know you love them; As much as they’ll call us “dags” or
roll their eyes, inside, kids yearn to be loved and a hug does wonders. If you’re not “huggy”
then you can still demonstrate love by being involved in their schooling, at their sporting
commitments or picking them up from parties.
Someone said recently, “Did you know, that when your teenager leaves home, those childhood
years represent 80% of the time that you will ever spend with them?” No, I didn’t but I do now. It’s
changed how I see myself as a father, and how much I value time with my kids.

WAGIN LADIES BOWLING UPDATE
BY BRON HEGARTY Wagin Bowling Club held their Ladies Singles
Championships recently with nine ladies playing.
The weather gods were kind to us (although it did feel
a tad hot when you are out there all day) and the
Green played beautifully.
The bowling standards were certainly raised as
everyone brought their A game! To win a game, a
player had to be the first to score 21.
Most games went over 21 ends (the length of a
Pennants game) and the final playoff exceeded 30
ends!
This was quite an achievement when you realise these
ladies had already played two previous games.
A mammoth task indeed!
The final was played between Leanne Cook and
Coral Davies who have been among our top bowlers
for a few years.
But there can only be one winner and this day it was
Leanne Cook. Leanne was calm under pressure and
this showed in her bowls.
Our warmest congratulations to Leanne!
The Plate (for those knocked out in the first round) was
played between Bron Hegarty and Fe Thompson.
A very close game came down to the last end when scores were 20 – 19.
Bron Hegarty was lucky enough to get the one point to take the Plate.
Congratulations Bron!
Thank you to Umpire/marker Dave hill and markers Ross Old, Don Davies and Ian Young. Much
appreciated.
Finally, thank you so much to our Sponsors for the day – Rob Kelly and Byfields.
