By the time you�read this I would�have already�moved from�Waroona to live in�Perth. But I’ll be�

back on 11th June and every second�Thursday onwards. A big thank you�to the ladies who work extremely�hard. Welcome back to Margaret. At�the moment we are working on the�Yarn Bombing project. Nola is busy�crotcheting flowers and Jane is�knitting flowers. Lois is busy finished�crotcheting a square which was�donated to the group to become a�knee rug. Lil is finishing off the items�my Mum knitted to turn them into�teddies. Barbara’s project is knitting�

Coral’s Charity Knitters�baby shawls and also has some ideas�in mind for our “knitting Nanna” to sit�in the rocking chair. We still need to�yarn bomb the chair. Mavis is kitting�scarves and Joy and Lil crotcheting�rugs. I have donated many teddies,�some bought and some handmade to�Kathryn to take for the children in�Africa. We still have many dolls to�stuff and put features on that my Mum�knitted – 40 in total. We would�appreciate some help please. I am�busy knitting up the 12ply wool into�very, very long scarves to be used to�wrap around poles at the Tourist�Centre, there will be a total of five.�Dates for June are 11�th�, 25th and 9�th�

July. Thank you Coral Culling.�

One of our loyal contributors to the�Drakesbrook Despatch is leaving�Waroona. Coral is moving to Perth to�be nearer to her two daughters and�four granddaughters. When reflecting�on her 43 years in Waroona Coral told�me that she arrived here on 28�th�

February 1978. She had two small�girls, one three year old and one 6�months old. Coral soon found the�playgroup which was held at the old�Nestle’s Factory. She loved�meeting new mums and their�children. She served on the�playgroup committee for 5 years�holding positions as Purchasing�Officer, President and Vice�President. At that time the group�was also raising money to build�onto the Health Clinic for their own�playgroup. With help from Coral’s�two little girls Mrs McNeil cut the�ribbon and declared the new�playgroup open on 7�th� August 1982.�In 1983 Coral’s girls were both�attending school so as the door to�the playgroup closed another�opened for Coral when she became a�Mum helper with the Brownies. At the�end of 1981 she became a brownie�leader and was known as Brown Owl.�She was Brown Owl for thirty years�and has since helped Lynda with the�Girl Guides and only stopped this�when she was needed to babysit her�little granddaughter. Her links with�Guides continues as a member of the�Trefoil Guild which she joined in 2004�and belongs to the Mandurah section.�By the end of this year Coral has�been involved in Guiding for 35 years.�During 1983 here in Waroona there�was a decision to start an Arts and�Crafts group at the playgroup for the�Mums that had children at school.�

FAREWELL CORAL�Coral taught knitting and they learned�cane weaving, copper art and many�other craft skills. This Arts and Crafts�group were located in Birch Street for�many years. Sport featured in Coral’s�life when she arrived in Waroona as�she joined the Badminton and Tennis�

clubs. She played one year of hockey�and four years of softball. Her�children went with her when they were�not at school. She has assisted with�meals-on-wheels and joined the Red�Cross in April 2002. As a member of�the Red Cross she has been on the�visiting scheme at Pam Corker house.�For over 25 years Coral worked for�the Silver Chain association as a�home help in this area. Before the�current format of Waroona Australia�Day celebrations began Coral�became involved with Grace Lay and�others to provide an Australia Day�Breakfast. At that time Coral and her�Brownies helped with the event and�particularly the cleaning up�

afterwards. With the support of the�then Librarian, Raelene, they started�a “Friends of the Library” this has�evolved into the present day Book�Club which is still going. Coral’s�Charity Knitters is a group with which�the readers of the Drakesbrook�

Despatch are familiar. This has�been operating since January 2010.�One wonders how many kilos of�wool has been knitted, crocheted,�and then donated to many and�varied groups locally and overseas.�I expect it is in the hundreds. This�group work extremely hard and�unselfishly throughout the year and�many times Coral has organised for�a local guest speaker to their�meetings. These speakers are�usually from organisations who have�benefited from donations from�Coral’s Charity Knitters. One of the�amazing achievements for Coral�was to learn to swim. With the help�of Lynda she overcame her fear and�trepidation of water and became a�competent swimmer. Only in the�

past 12 months because of a back�injury has she stopped going daily to�the Waroona pool to swim goodness�knows how many laps. Once her�back has been fixed she is sure to be�seeking out another swimming pool to�continue this favourite of pastimes.�“You are never too old to learn�something new” advises Coral. “The�many and varied opportunities in�Waroona would fulfil anyone’s goals�and ambitions. There are teachers of�just about every topic and skill�available.” We wish Coral all the best�in her new home and many blessings�in the coming years.� “Lizzie” Drakesbrook Despatch.�

A Guide to Buying your Home� Understanding the costs of buying a home�

When purchasing your home, there are some costs you�may expect and some you may not. To help you avoid any�surprises, we’ve put together some of the main costs you�might need to think about when buying your new home.�

Stamp Duty�Stamp duty is a state government based tax that you need�to budget for. It is levied on the purchase price and is paid�on the day of settlement. If you are a first home buyer you�may� be eligible for some concessions or exemption from�

stamp duty.�Legal Costs�

There are some legal costs involved when buying and selling�

Conveyancing� – you need a professional conveyancer /�settlement agent to legally transfer ownership of the�property. This can range from $700 upwards depending on�the value of the property.�

Landgate Registration –�this fee starts at $190 for a�property priced at $200,000 or below then increases $20 for�each additional $100,000.�

Mortgage Registration –�each time you register a�mortgage on your property, the bank will charge a $160 fee�which is payable at the time of purchase or sale.�

Insurance�There are a few types of insurance you might have to pay:�

Lenders Mortgage Insurance� – If you borrow more than�80% of the purchase price of the property, you‘ll need to�pay�(LMI ). This type of insurance protects the lender if you�default on the loan. With most lenders, this fee will be built�into your loan.�

Building Insurance� – Your lender will require you to insure�the building etc dated from settlement date.�

Contents Insurance –�If you want to cover the personal�items in your home, contents insurance protects all your�valuables.�

3 – 4 bedroom homes to�sell in price range of�

$250k - $350k�

with other teachers to hopefully bring�back some new ideas I can introduce�into the classroom," Mrs Entz said.�"We are a school in a lower socio-�economic area and it will greatly�benefit and motivate our students to�get involved in hands-on science�

activities. It has given them something�to look forward to and for me, as a�part-time teacher, it is also motivating�and inspiring." Mrs Entz said that with�Waroona being a small school with�

Waroona District High School News�Science Scholarship for Local Teacher�

Waroona District�High School�science teacher�Nicole Entz is�

excited about meeting science�teachers from around the globe at a�week-long education program in�Colorado, USA, in the July holidays.�She is one of just two Australian�teachers being sponsored by Alcoa�Foundation to attend Keystone�Science School for a hands-on�learning program that involves�environmental issues and science�being brought into the classroom. The�scholarship program is targeted to�recognise excellence in teaching�within the science field and allows�educators to further their skills. When�school Principal Cathy De Thierry�encouraged Mrs Entz to apply, the�science teacher did not think she�would be successful. "I'm absolutely�thrilled and will be looking to network�

single science classes for each year,�accessing extra curriculum material�and ways other teachers tailored their�class programs to provide the best�opportunities and engagement for all�students were important topics she�would be discussing at the program.�"If we can use this scholarship to�integrate new ideas into our�curriculum then we will have a�program in place regardless of staff�changes," she said. In a close�coincidence, Mrs Entz discovered the�second national scholarship recipient�was Denise Honeybone from North�Dandalup Primary School, which her�children attend. Alcoa Wagerup�Refinery manager Mark Hodgson said�that the company, as the nearest�Alcoa operation to the Waroona�community, was pleased to see a�teacher from the town receive one of�the scholarships.�

Western Front Anzac Trip 2016�

With approximately 11 months until�the students set off for the Western�Front, it is all go in the FUNdraising�sector! Parents, children, aunties,�grandparents, friends and everyone�else who is keen to make this trip a�success are busy behind the scenes�coming up with new ideas on how to�raise another dollar. The group have�taken on an amazing amount of work�over the past 10 months and will con-�tinue to do so until the plane takes off.�No job has ever been too small or too�big (so far) for this awesome team to�complete and it truly is very rewarding�watching the children get their hands�dirty and work for this experience.�One of our latest events was to cater�for 73 guests at the Waroona Bowling�Club. From all accounts it was very�successful, but let me tell you it was�like the last 60 seconds in Master�Chef at times. Regardless we had fun�and raised an invaluable amount. An�

added bonus is the fantastic commu-�nity support that we have received.�The Waroona Post Office are always�quick to offer items to raffle and the�shoppers at IGA continually buy our�raffle tickets which is much appreciat-�ed. The Lions Club get behind the�kid’s in every way they can, as do the�Cruising Car Club, Bowling Club,�Cricket Club, Basketball Club, Com-�munity Centre, Home Hardware, Wa-�roona Fire Brigade, Mitchell’s�Transport, Waroona Shire, Pam�Corker House and that’s just naming�those off the top of my head. A spe-�cial thank you page will be printed in a�later issue with the names of all com-�munity businesses who have sup-�ported the trip, so I do apologise if I�didn’t mention your name this time.�Alcoa also has a few upcoming�events which are sure to raise much�needed funds. We are about ½ way�with what we would like to raise in or-�der to send each child and I have no�doubt with continued hard work on our�

behalf and the community support we�receive in Waroona that this trip will�be a huge success. WDHS is a great�place to send your child and without�the Staff support this would not be an�idea turned into reality. A BIG thank�you to every staff member who hears�the term Western Front and doesn’t�scream and run away! An update will�be in each Despatch issue and will�include some pictures of our children�in action. For our first issue I have in-�cluded several random pictures of the�students working at various events in�the past 10 months. You name it and�we have probably done it! Catering,�markets, sausage sizzles, gardening,�serving, cleaning, selling and maybe�even a little harassing. Once again�thank you! Please keep us in mind if�any jobs, ideas or whatever it may be�comes your way and you think we can�raise an extra dollar Written by Leah�Seubert - Coordinator of the Parent�FUNdraising Group�

SUB CENTRE NEWS�Well�it’s June already�and the year has just�flown past. Now to the�extremely important�issue. Over the last six�months the sub centre�has lost several�Volunteer Ambulance�Officers (VAO) for�

various reasons leaving a small�number of local officers to carry the�ambulance job load. I’d like to thank�those officers who live in the Mandurah�area and come over to do shifts to give�the locals a bit of a break and of course�our local band of committed people�who give up so much of their time to�volunteer when YOU the community�need us. Officer numbers are seriously�low so if you want to give something�back to the community that you live in,�then please give us a call and come�and see what we are all about.�ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING�EXTRAORDINARY THINGS!�RAC St John Ambulance (SJA)�Train the Trainer Driver Training -�That’s a mouthful I know. Jenny�McNamara and I spent last weekend�up in Perth at the RAC Driver Training�Education Centre (DTEC) learning�how to deliver the SJA Driver Training�Course. The highlight of the weekend�for me was taking ambulances from�Belmont Workshop out onto the skid�

training and have all the CEP�competencies completed and signed�off by the end of the year.

This month we have been�reading Santa Montefiore�

who is of an Anglo-Argentine�background although is British by birth�and was educated at a prestigious�Ladies School. Her first book “�Meet�Me Under the Ombu Tree�” was�published in 2002 and she has since�written twelve novels. Her books are�romantic fiction which some of our�members found to be without�substance. Members who liked to read�more serious literature found that they�were not able to get into the stories�and their interest was not held by the�book. If you are looking for a light read�which you can pick up and put down�Santa Montefiore is probably for you.�Book Club is on the 28�th� May at the�Library; speak to a Librarian if you are�interested. Meanwhile until next month�HAPPY READING�

With Consumer Protection SW Regional Coordinator Debbie Butler�CONSUMER PROTECTION COLUMN -�

had appliances installed or had�electrical work carried out in the�past few years should contact a�licensed electrician for a safety�inspection to determine if Infinity�cables were installed.” “An�electrician would typically be able�to inspect a home for around $100,�though costs will vary depending�upon the size, location and design�of the property. Such costs can be�recovered from the supplier should�affected cables be discovered,” Ms�Rickard said. “Consumers should�not attempt to inspect cables�themselves. Any affected cable�installed in accessible areas or near�heat sources must be removed and�replaced under the safety recall.”�The relevant periods of cable�supply are: 2010-2013 (in NSW),�2011-2013 (in ACT), 2012-2013�(in Vic, Qld, SA & WA) and in�2013 (in Tas). The recalls apply to�all sizes and configurations of TPS�and Orange Round mains power�cables sourced from Infinity Cable�Co Pty Ltd and supplied under�'INFINITY' and 'OLSENT' brands�

The Australian Competition and�Consumer Commission is�concerned that many unsuspecting�home and business owners have�degrading Infinity electrical cables�installed in their premises, despite�a nationwide recall of the�dangerous product last year. Of an�estimated 4,000km of faulty cable�supplied by Infinity cable Co, only�15 per cent has been remediated�under the recall. Infinity cables�fail to meet safety standards due to�poor quality plastic insulation�coating. Tests have shown that the�cable may become prematurely�brittle from 2016 onwards, which�could cause fires or electric shock�if the cables were then disturbed.�“Unsafe Infinity cable is currently�installed in thousands of�households and businesses across�Australia - it needs to be located�and made safe before it poses a�serious danger to the community�from next year,” ACCC Deputy�Chair Delia Rickard said.�“Consumers that purchased new�properties, undertook renovations,�

WAROONA PENSIONERS�SOCIAL CLUB�

An outing to Dwellingup has been�suggested for our next trip. Enquiries�are still to be made but it would�probably be a visit to a winery for wine�tasting and morning tea, a stop at the�Visitor Centre for a browse at the�many gifts available, then on to lunch�somewhere. After lunch will be a visit�to a live marron farm before coming�home. The President and Secretary�will do some research and take the�results to the next meeting when�members can decide if they want to�do this trip, on lunch venue and the�menu etc. It is always difficult to find�places to visit that are not too far�away but this seems to fit the bill. It�was pleasing to see a few more�people at our meeting and hopefully�those who are sick or tied up with�medical appointments will be able to�attend the next one. At present we�are getting slightly under half our paid�up members at meetings so we could�do better. Just an advance reminder–�the July meeting will be our AGM. All�positions will be declared vacant so�give some thought to nominating. We�are always looking for new members�so if you would like to join us come�along on the first Wednesday of the�month at 1.30pm at the Senior�Citizens Hall�

The Chookyard Farmer�

I am pleased to report the Chookyard�Farmer has graduated with honours�after his first ever Poultry Show�Exhibition at the Harvey Show on the�Anzac weekend. I was proud but a�little surprised with the outcome and�also had two entries that did not�qualify. Missy Frizzle a gift for my�daughter Caitlin did not meet�Australian Standards because she�had hairy feet (ok in America) and�Collie Black an Australorpe Bantam�had a different look so she was�classified by the head steward as a�cross breed. CB had an early feed�and a private cage but has since put�the judge on notice by going clucky�again and sitting on six fertile eggs.�Winners were Priscilla a Faverolle�Hen and her Arauncana chick solo.�Cleopatra a Gold Laced Wyandotte�Hen and Dalmation a pretty black and�white Ancona Hen. An old football�friend from South Mandurah would�have called her magpie being a one�eyed Collingwood supporter. Buffy a�Buff Laced Wyandotte was a gallant�second. Lacey a gold laced�Wyandotte Bantam Hen was unlucky�to meet two slightly older Silver Laced�Hens imported from the Eastern�States and whose new home is east�of Collie. The judges were helpful�with feedback and said Lacey in most�shows would have won first prize as�well. Amigo a black Australorpe pullet�and Goldie a Brahma/Creole Hen also�enjoyed the ride in the old ute but no�prizes. It was an interesting�experience and my competitive nature�

hay in the wood tank. I was blaming�the moulting season and the cold end�of Autumn. Last weekend the�extremely strong winds and heavy�rain knocked the mini houses and�shelters around so I spent a couple of�hours making them more secure after�the Lions Auction. Even got out the�chainsaw to cut some nice thick�pieces of timber from my old patio and�the old farm at Nos 56 to act as�chocks to ensure stability to resist�these horrible strong winds we get�from the Darling Scarp at different�times of the year. All chickens love�the freedom of free range and the�back lawn is nice and fresh for�pecking and scratching. With the�football season now in full swing and�round six completed I have had to rely�on the assistance of my wife Maryann�to lockup and look after the birds’�welfare. Our most recent purchase is�a beautiful Silver Laced Wyandotte�pullet at the point of lay and�appropriately named by my daughter�Caitlin, Maryann as it was received on�our Wedding Anniversary this week.�Caitlin will be home for a nine day�holiday in early June and she will be a�great help in the Chookyard Hotel.�The chickens will engage her after�seven years hard yakka with a�Batchelor of Science and Masters of�Pharmacy to qualify as a Pharmacist�after a twelve month internship�completed in February. A Pet Supply�Owner and a very good Vet Nurse is�on the money when she recently said�raising chickens as a hobby and pets�is addictive. With the beginning of�winter only a week away the courtyard�and surroundings of Chookyard Hotel�have stood up fairly well so far this�year with no too much made and�ongoing improvements and fresh hay.�I trust you continue to enjoy with me�the journey of the Chookyard Farmer�and even if you don’t have some rare�heritage breeds like myself a small�flock of four chickens will generally�provide you a source of protein and�fresh food as well as being great as�pets for children plus nothing like�home grown in a rural environment. It�is after midnight and I have just turned�into a pumpkin. Prior to writing the�latest chapter I was on the computer�preparing football teams lists for the�Saturday night game versus the�Stangers tomorrow night using the�Sporting Pulse System. The hotel�residents will all be in bed and locked�up safely when I arrive home about�9.30 pm. Cheers and goodnight.�Chookyard Farmer Ken�

came into play when the judges voting�and assessment cards made their way to�the tally table. A special breed of duck�was the Champion Bird of the Show from�Australind for the first time in ten years.�A special thankyou to my two�consultants Kellie and Rona for a first�time exhibitor. Pinoclean and Dynamo�are two products for the trick of showing�clean birds. I even purchased a mini�blow dryer to ensure feathers and the�chickens were treated like a ladies hair�dressers salon. Unfortunately I was not�blessed with my late father Wally’s�handyman skills and had to call in 1982�Premiership Player Jamie Herd a�carpenter by trade to adapt some metal�dog sheds to excellent Chicken Houses�and hence the name Chookyard Hotel.�Jamie, would you believe, raised�bantams when he was in primary school�down south where his dad was a station�master. A bit of local history and his skill�of placing perches together with mesh�doors cut to size with hinges was second�to none. We ended up with two first�class mini chook houses. So you can�see I have been busy at the Mundijong�Markets buying bits and pieces at the�right price. A Public thankyou Jamie.�They have been stationed on dog bend�stands with either a solid floor or weld�mesh for hygiene and fox purposes. I�was lucky to purchase two book stands�late at the Lions auction for $2 and�dismantled them to make up two nice�nesting boxes as the others were falling�apart but in nearly a week not one egg�has been laid in them. I have been�outsmarted by the chickens who have�discovered the sleeping quarters in the�hutch of Priscilla and her 4 month old�chick Solo is quieter and the wood tank�where I store my bale of straw hay was�even better. I even collected a nice�white egg from Dalmation tonight laid in�the rear of the tank despite the�opportunity of laying in a straw bed in a�dishwasher rack and covered in fresh�

First detected in WA in Parkerville in�2004, European house borer (EHB) is�a serious exotic pest of dead and dry�seasoned timber of pine, spruce and�fir. EHB may be found in dead trees�or dead branches of living trees.�Present in Europe, Africa, Asia, South�America and North America, EHB�most likely arrived in WA as larvae in�pine timber. Many houses in WA have�roof trusses made from untreated,�seasoned pine. If an EHB infestation�goes unnoticed, wood can reach the�point of collapse. What to look for.�Public awareness is crucial for�stopping the spread of EHB. The EHB�beetle itself has a brownish-black�body 8-25mm long, with antennae half�the length of the body and two shiny�black bumps on the first body�segment behind the head.�

The wings are usually black and may�have distinctive white patches. Native�longicorn, jewel beetles and common�house and garden insects like click�beetles and mole crickets are often�mistaken for EHB, but are not of�concern and do not require reporting.�(see pictures).�

Don’t Be Bored�building in�Restricted�Movement Zones�(RMZ) you must�use treated pine or�other non-�susceptible�material. Movement�of untreated pine in�and out of RMZ�

areas must be done in accordance�with Agriculture and Related�Resources Protection (EHB)�Regulations 2006. Protect untreated�pinewood by storing it in a suitable�building or enclosure or keep it fully�enclosed in plastic wrapping material.�Dispose of unwanted pine timber�(including tree waste, off-cuts, pallets�and furniture) via green council bins,�council verge collection or direct�deposit to a local council refuse�facility. Don’t collect discarded�pinewood from verge collections,�waste bins or pine plantations. For�more information about EHB and�RMZ areas go to agric.wa.gov.au/ehb.�If you suspect you have found EHB�beetles or larvae call 1800 084 881 or�send photos to info@agric.wa.gov.au�

EHB have the potential to go�unnoticed until structural damage�caused by the EHB larvae becomes�evident. The larvae are cream�coloured, elongated and cylindrical�with an enlarged and flattened head�and grow to about 40mm in length.�EHB may be detected before�significant damage occurs through�individual vigilance or regular�inspections of untreated timber by�qualified pest control providers. You�may hear the soft sounds of larvae�chewing or notice faint blistering on�the timber surface. Larvae pupate into�adult beetles inside the wood and exit�leaving an oval shaped hole around�10mm long and 5mm wide, which runs�in line with the grain of the wood. The�presence of frass; a powdery mix of�wood dust and pellets of excrement,�beneath the exit holes are obvious�signs of EHB.�What you can do? Inspect any�untreated pine regularly. When�

Patter from the Post Office�

Whats�going on�with�Australia�Post�Australia�post�

services have been in the news over�the last twelve months with a variety�of changes mooted as part of a reform�package to ensure the viability of the�business. The following gives you a�bit more detail about what will stay the�same, as well as a few�changes.Posties are delivering 1.2�billion fewer letters than they did�seven years ago. Australia Post is a�fully self-funded business and�receives no taxpayer funding. Without�reform, the losses in the letters�business would soon grow to an�estimated $6.5 billion over a decade.�What is staying the same?�• Posties will continue to deliver mail�five days a week.�• We remain committed to�maintaining our national network of�4400 Post Offices, including in�regional and rural communities.�• Australia’s 5.7 million concession�cardholders will still be able to�purchase a stamp at 60 cents with the�MyPost Concession Account. This�price remains frozen.�

• Express Post will continue to be�available as a guaranteed next day�delivery service, when sending and�delivery is within the Express Post�network.�Australia Post is not seeking, or�expecting, to make profits from these�changes to the letters service.�What will the new prices be�?�The Basic Postage Rate (BPR) will�still be overseen by the Australian�Competition and Consumer�Commission (ACCC). Under the�changes, the BPR will be tied to the�new Regular service. Australia Post�has confirmed that subject to ACCC�review, it will seek to increase the�current BPR of 70c to $1. The price of�the Priority Service will be set after�the benchmark BPR rate is�established. The BPR has only�increased four times in the past 23�years and is currently the lowest in�the developed world.�When are the changes effective�?�Not before September 2015 at the�earliest. Australia Post will commence�a nationwide consultation process,�engaging our communities,�employees, customers and�government on the implementation of�these changes�Hope this clarifies things for�everyone..�Cheers from your LPO Team!�

• The price of sending a Seasonal�Greeting card, or Christmas card, has�also been frozen, at 65 cents.

Now that ANZAC Day�2015 has passed we�focus our attention on�the future of the RSL in�

Waroona-Hamel. The Sub-Branch�currently has 16 members. We would�like to have a conversation with every�member of the community that is�eligible for membership. Please make�contact and we will arrange a time�that is suitable to catch up for a cuppa�and a chat. At our General Meeting on�the 11�th� May 2015, Ivy Wilson was�elected Secretary and Shirley Iseppi�elected Treasurer. We now have all�positions filled on the Executive�Committee and we are looking�forward to a more active Sub-Branch�in the future. Our guest speaker was�Peter Reynolds who is taking students�to the Western Front in 2016. He is�researching the names on our War�Memorial and his research thus far�has left him with a number of�unanswered questions. If you have�

any details of those listed on the�Waroona War Memorial could you please�contact me so I can forward the�information to Peter. This year the�Australian Institute of Professional�Photograph�(AIPP) wants to photograph�every veteran of the Second World War.�They are creating a compelling pictorial�record of returned servicemen and�women for the national archives. This is�one of the most ambitious photographic�projects ever undertaken in Australia.�Professional photographers across the�country, accredited by the AIPP, are�donating their time and talent� to create�this visual legacy. The AIPP understand�the importance and power of�photographic images to capture a�person, a moment in time, and preserve�that forever. With this project AIPP�wants to honour our veterans and�commemorate 100 years of the ANZAC�tradition. Veterans will receive a printed�portrait photograph, free of charge, for�their participation.

Waroona Veterinary Clinic News�Parvovirus Warning & Senior Pet Month�

Parvovirus:�We have treated a few�dogs in�Waroona� and�Yarloop� for�parvovirus in the past month. We�suspect we may see a resurgence of�parvovirus infections around town. We�are urging dog owners to make sure�their puppies have been vaccinated.�Parvovirus is often characterised by�potentially life threatening vomiting�and diarrhoea. Unvaccinated puppies�are the most common victims of the�disease however older, unvaccinated�dogs are also at risk of becoming�seriously unwell.�Dogs affected by parvovirus can be�hospitalised and need treatment for�extended periods (1 week+) which is�never easy on the hip pocket. This�disease is�not easily treated, but is�easily (and cheaply) prevented�through vaccination. It is vitally�important that ALL puppies are�isolated until they finish the full�recommended course of vaccinations.�Not completing the course means�your pet will not be protected. Please�ensure your puppy’s vaccinations are�up to date.�Also ensure that�adult dogs that�have had no vaccinations since�their puppy course� receive a�booster vaccination�. These dogs are�also susceptible to parvovirus, if for�whatever reason, they did not develop�a good immune response to the initial�

disease feed raw bones 2-3 times a�week or consider switching to a�specialised oral care diet (e.g. Hills�t/d). You should check your pet’s�teeth on a regular basis for yellow or�brown stains or redness in the gums�or bleeding. If any of these symptoms�are apparent or there is a strong�unpleasant odour you should consider�a dental check-up.�Lumps:�Senior pets commonly�develop lumps in older age. Some�lumps like cysts, warts and lipoma�(fatty lumps) are not life threatening�and can be easy to deal with.�However, there are cancers that can�also cause skin lumps. It is�recommended that if you find any�lump on your pet you should get it�checked by a vet. It is important to�take note of when a lump first�appeared and whether it has changed�at all over time (especially if it has�grown a lot in a short period of time).�Signs of Disease: Changes in�behaviour or changes in drinking,�eating or toileting habits may be a�sign of an underlying disease.�Symptoms of old age diseases are�often only evident once there has�been significant internal damage, so�don’t wait until your pet has visible�warning signs before switching to a�senior diet and scheduling a�veterinary health check.�

vaccination course. We now have�triennial C3 vaccinations that cover all of�the deadly viruses including parvovirus�and guarantee protection for 3 years�from one injection. This is well worth the�value as they also include a complete�physical check-up.�June is Senior Pet Month�. Now the�colder weather has finally kicked in, it is�important to take extra care of older�pets. Most pets are considered seniors�once they are 7 or older (5 years for�large or giant breed dogs).�Diet: As your pet ages their nutritional�needs change. With quality veterinary�care and nutrition available today, pets�are living longer and are thus at higher�risk of developing old-age diseases such�as arthritis, kidney disease and canine�Alzheimer’s. A senior diet should contain�higher levels of antioxidants, high-quality�protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins,�minerals, and optimum levels of fibre.�Even if you don’t use a premium food�(like Hills or Advance), most�supermarket foods have formulations�specifically for mature or senior pets.�Teeth:�Tartar build-up and gingivitis are�common problems in nearly all senior�dogs and cats. Dental disease not only�causes bad breath, but pain and�discomfort when eating and can also�cause heart or kidney disease (from�spread of bacteria from the gums into�the bloodstream). To help prevent dental�

Fire Recognition Sundowner�Friday the 15th of May, the Shire of�Waroona hosted the ‘Fire Recognition�Sundowner’ at Memorial Hall. The�event was in praise of all the�volunteers who selflessly gave their�services during the January fires. The�fires widely�affected the�township of�Waroona with�areas�surrounding�Forrington�Heights and�Lyons road�under immense�threat and�majority of the�town being forced to evacuate. During�this time, the effort from local fire�brigades, community groups, local�business and individuals was�immeasurable. DFES and many�surrounding fire brigades contributed�but without the local volunteers the�outcome could have been very�different. Supported by the Shire of�Waroona, Alcoa and Bendigo bank�the night provided an opportunity for�

the residents in the affected areas to�formally recognise those who assisted�during this period. As unfortunate as�the circumstances were surrounding�the January fire, it was great to see the�sense of community and morale. Our�local volunteers are essential to our�

community and it�was great to be�able to dedicate a�night to recognise�the time and effort�they put in to�ensure Waroona,�Hamel, Lake�Clifton and�Preston Beach�are all kept safe�

Quambie Park Celebrates the Generosity of PEACH�

Quambie Park is proud to partner with�PEACH (Personnel Employed at Al-�coa Charity Help) in the delivery of�quality aged care services to the peo-�ple of Waroona and the wider Peel�community. PEACH has generously�donated $11,500 towards a new�emergency call-bell system for the�residents of Quambie Park’s residen-�tial aged care facility (Pam Corker�House). “Quambie Park is incredibly�grateful to the PEACH program and�the dedicated personnel who contrib-�

ute to the program,” Mr Mike Walms-�ley, Quambie Park Chairperson said.�“Emergency situations will be averted�because the invaluable call-bell sys-�tem means residents will only have to�press a button when they need assist-�ance,” he said. “Staff response times�will be measured, monitored and im-�proved upon to ensure the highest�level of service possible.” The new�

call-bell system replaces an existing but�outdated system. PEACH is an employ-�ee-based charitable group of people�who pledge or designate a portion of�their salary to a trust fund, which is then�dispersed to a wide range of community�groups. To date, PEACH has donated�in excess of $3.2 million to over 200�community organisations since 1979.�The personal approach taken by�PEACH exhibits a very caring attitude to�the community and shows important�community groups that PEACH contrib-�utors care about the work they are do-�ing. Quambie Park has been providing�aged care services to country Austral-�ians for over 30 years. The organisa-�tion was founded in 1985 through a�bequest from local community member,�Mr Tom Corker. Quambie Park’s di-�verse array of services include: Home�Care Packages, Retirement Village liv-�ing and residential aged care services�.�To access Quambie Park services�please call (08) 9733 1355 or email�enquiries@quambiepark.org.au.�

June…half�way through�the year and�the start of�winter. With�the cooler�temperatures�you may�notice a�

decline in pasture growth rates. It may�be necessary to move stock from�paddocks with low levels of food on�offer (FOO), to protect these from�overgrazing and ensure good growth�rates in spring. In some cases�supplementary feeding may be�required. Stock with young will also�need to be monitored to ensure they�have access to plenty of shelter�during inclement weather, this will�reduce the risk of animals getting�hypothermia. If stock are in an area�prone to flooding, waterlogging or�without natural or manmade shelter�consider moving them if severe�weather is forecvaste. Now is a great�time to clean up your orchard. As the�

however when their numbers explode�they can cause damage to your�plants. To keep slater numbers to a�reasonable level use minimal compost�and remove objects which give�shelter, such as empty pots and�stacks of timber. You may also want�to consider putting traps out near�vulnerable plants, by hollowing out an�orange halve or filling a pot with�potato peeling this can lure slaters�away from young plants. Or provide a�protective barrier by making a collar�out of the empty pots. Our seasonal�e-newsletter keeping you on top of�what you need to know for the coming�season will be emailed out in May.�Sign up now at agric.wa.gov.au/small-�landholder-information-service-e-�newsletter to start receiving your�copy.

last of the apples are harvested,�ensure you pick up any unwanted fruit�and start spray programs to reduce�carryover of fungal, bacterial and mite�issues. Start pruning stone and pome�fruit once the last of the leaves have�fallen. Leaf fall can be hastened by�use of appropriate nutrient foliage�sprays. Damper weather might lead to�food spoiling quicker, if you are�finding that food is spoiling before you�get to use it consider preserving,�drying, freezing, cooking or juicing�your fresh produce. This will help you�save money, reduce throwing out food�and enable you to take advantage of�seasonal fruit and vegetables. The�best time to plant deciduous fruit�trees, like apples, pears and stone�fruit, is when they are dormant, in�winter. Evergreen fruit trees, like�citrus, avocadoes and olives,�establish well when planted in�autumn, so they have three seasons�to develop their root system before�the heat of summer.

JUNE 2015 Page 29�Waroona Football Club News with Forward Pocket�

WFC has completed�round 7 with all�three grades in a�very strong position�for season 2015.�The Colts are still�flying high, with a 10�point lead and a�healthy percentage,�

but need to keep their feet firmly on�the ground. In the absence of Glen�Wilson for 2 weeks the team�remained focused under assistant�coach Mark Spence. Young players�Jesse Meeres, Austin Lilly, Nick�Scofield, Griffin Rae have all lifted�their development from last season�and have been well supported by new�15 year old recruit Jesse Sawyer�playing with his older brother Caleb.�Co Captains Josh Commisso and�Josh Reeves have been leading from�the front and Jake Wilson is enjoying�his new role in the centre of the�ground. Josh Falkstrom has returned�this year and shapes as a ruckman/�forward together with Harry Ellis.�Utility player Kohen Hart-Cole has�been in very good form having�improved his fitness and enjoys�showing the way to his younger�brother Shannon who always gives a�contest. Tyran Planken has been in�sensational form after only playing�part of last season due to outside�distractions Two new players who�have joined the team in 2015 after�frustration with Peel Thunder Colts�selection policy are Chad Wrigley and�Jack Tomerini and again have fitted in�perfectly with their new club further�improving the depth of the colts team.�Waroona have played short in three�games and with the smallest�population base for team selection the�quality of their football after seven�rounds has done the talking.�Mandurah pushed them all the way�and in the last quarter the boys lifted a�notch with four goals to zero.�Experienced Colts Coach Glen “The�Master” Wilson is insisting that his�troops take one week at a time and�work on improving their deficiencies�and not resting on their laurels. Their�form has created such a positive�environment around the club and�Waroona supporters and players from�both Reserves and League have been�inspired by this talented group of�youngsters.�The Reserves have been in solid form�with five wins and two losses to South�Mandurah and Baldivis and both at�home. They lead Baldivis by a point at�half time but fell away badly in the�second half and SM Falcons had two�

league team after very good form in�the reserves to form part of the back�six. Leading competition goalkicker�Alan “Foxy” Wilson kicked another�good tally of five on a cold autumn�night and he is rated so highly by�opposition teams he is virtually�scragged at every contest. Four times�Premiership Captain Adam “Hands”�Clancy has returned to form and�fitness after playing a key attacking�role with Sav in the reserves�premiership last year. Clanger as he�is fondly known has played a role as�a marking defender when required by�Coach Dean Taylor this season as�well. Captain Ben Wright is a key�player and opposition teams are�trying to nullify his influence in the�midfield, while Courtney Lakay after�205 games, skilfully combines well�with his old mate to give Waroona�first use of the ball. In the last three�weeks Waroona League Squad has�hit their targets with three tough�games coming up against Pinjarra,�Halls Head and South Mandurah and�a trust test for the team. Jayden�“Carrots” Caratti despite a sore ankle�blows away the opposition with his�pace and combines well with the�running power of Ben “Chief”�Mathews Herald. Jayden Derosa is�also hitting his straps in the last two�weeks. Utility Mat Thomas has�adapted his game to play back in the�last month and his high marks and�long kicks are beneficial to the team�overall. The mosquito fleet of Justin�Giumelli and Russell Shore are both�dangerous around goals and Alfred�Angi adds to that fire power. The�depth of the team has further�improved this year with the�recruitment of Tom Vernon and�Simon “Nugget” McMicking. Liam�Thomas has also worked his way�back into the team after a late start to�the season and needing to play a�couple of games in the Reserves to�improve his fitness. Waroona League�Squad are keen to achieve higher�honours after the “one that got away”�in last year’s Preliminary Final when�leading by 13 points with just seven�minutes to go. An Achilles heel may�be the lack of a tall ruckman but in�the first seven games Matt Atcheson�and Clay Smith have always ensured�a spirited contest in the ruck duels�and supported by Adam Clancy, Mat�Thomas and Matt Jones. Utility Rhett�Mason has enjoyed his new role on a�wing and hopefully will return this�week against Pinjarra Tigers this�week. Pinjarra will be keen to avenge�for their first round loss.�

much class on the day. Former Coach�Rocky Caruso has been appointed�Captain for season 2015 and despite�those two lapses the midfield led by�Rocky, Jackson Hiscock, Sean Guimelli�and Zac Indich have all been�contributors. Steve “Sav” Srhoj who�qualifies for Veteran Football is still a key�target up forward as he showed against�Mandurah with four goals in the first half,�but is likely to miss the next couple of�games with a groin injury suffered in the�third quarter against Stangers. Nathan�Chiera has rejoined the team after a�break for a couple of years and this�young rover has added to the reserves�mosquito fleet. This has allowed Matt�Mortimer to move deeper in the forward�line to support Sav and his six goals�against Centrals showed “Hungry” does�not mind applying scoreboard pressure.�Premiership Captain for 2014 Kurt Brown�and playing coach Lindsay Wilson are�key Utility Players and both can take a�strong contested mark to benefit the�team. Veteran Troy Purser ensures a�contest when the going gets tough and�rebounding defenders Michael “Pickles”�Vellacott and full back Daniel Rogers�have also been solid contributors for the�first seven rounds. Ruckmen Dean�Shore and Ryan Wilson have given the�Demon Reserves first use of the ball and�Grant Coxon is playing more consistent�football like he was a couple of years�ago. Finishing in the top three to earn the�double chance for the finals would be the�aim of Coach Wilson and his assistant�Rhett Mason.�League are in 4th spot on percentage,�but are only 4 points behind the leaders.�B�rothers Clay and Eli Smith are like a�barometer to the League Squad. Utility�player Clay has served the team well in a�variety of roles as tagger, key defender�and even leading the ruck when required�whilst Eli competes like “Ballantyne” for�the Dockers and his three goals last�Saturday showed his true value to the�team. After a year’s break Ryan�McKinlay has slotted back into his old�premiership team and has performed�admirably with three best on ground�performances. This defender does not�mind running forward and kicking a goal�with his long kicks. Aidan “Archie”�Fotheringham has been the most�consistent defender all year since�transferring from Kondinin, but struggled�a little under lights this week against the�Stangers.. Former Colts player Brad�Bromley continues to develop and his�run from defence together with Aaron�Payrits has opposition forwards battling�to break away into open space.
