What, nopotato?By ANTHONY PROBERT

THE reality of a crip-pled market is starting to mount as the region’s

potato growers face the threat of a psyllid outbreak.

The tomato potato psyllid (TPP) is an exotic pest that has been detected by both com-mercial and domestic growers in the Perth metropolitan area.

Although the pest affects productivity in other fruit and vegetable crops, the specific threat for potato growers lies in the associated bacteria that TPP is known to carry which causes zebra chip, which renders the vegetable inedible.

As a result of the detection of the insect in Perth, the move-ment of host fruit and vegeta-bles and used machinery and equipment from WA has been blocked by eastern states.

TPP has not been detected near Albany and there is no evi-dence of the zebra chip bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter sola-nacearum (CLso), despite the Department of Agriculture and Food setting hundreds of traps since the outbreak in Perth.

Third generation Albany po-tato farmer Julian Ackley said the trade restrictions to the eastern states were frustrating

as it had not only impacted big exporters, but also created an oversupply in WA.

“We’ve all got product sitting here that is fi ne, but we can’t sell it because the door is shut.

“The problem is the crops are all available now and it’s all perishable. It’s not like it only affects a little bit of product over a longer period of time.”

Mr Ackley said his attempts to divert potatoes bound for the Eastern States to the local market were not viable, with prices depressed at least $100 per tonne.

“We didn’t even get a quarter of our costs back,” he said.

Remaining potatoes would more than likely be fed to livestock or go to diary farmers who were already oversupplied with wasted potatoes.

The future of his own opera-tion and the industry in general was not something Mr Ackley preferred to dwell on.

“It doesn’t bear thinking about. I have my doubts about next year,” he said.

Fellow local grower and in-dustry representative Colin Ay-res exports the majority of his seed potato crop to the eastern states and has been hit hard by

the trade restrictions.He has already made the

tough decision to lay-off four permanent staff and would not be employing backpackers and other casual labour. While he had one eye on the broader impact of the industry, Mr Ayres said he had some challenges to face with his own operation.

“Our program will be about half of what it was this year: hence, our labour force has been drastically reduced,” he said.

“To downsize, there is also a mountain of work to do in the offi ce before you even get near a tractor.”

Mr Ayres said he was comfort-able with the WA Department of Agriculture’s efforts since the detection of TPP and new Agriculture Minister Alannah MacTiernan in her response to the crisis.

But he was scathing of the industry’s failure to act on a na-tional level and enact the Emer-gency Plant Pest Response Deed sooner. The deed is in place to deal with the response to national pest incidents.

“It took six weeks for the deed to be triggered. If that’s an emergency response then God help us,” he said.

FINAL preparations for the Great Southern Weekender Albany Classic on Sunday, June 4 are underway. Albany artist Sue Halsall was again commissioned by the organising committee to create the painting that would be used for the infamous promotional poster and as a special auction item at this year’s sponsors’ dinner. The painting recreates the excitement of the historic motoring event and pays tribute to the Theyer family’s involvement in racing, with Elizabeth Theyer waving the fl ag for the late William Theyer racing his TQ. Posters are available from The Weekender.

LOCAL man Neil McPher-son is reminiscing over coffee with fellow former

prisoner of war Harold Martin a few days before his 95th birthday last week.

He invited The Weekender to sit in and share his wartime memories.

“People say to me ‘do you hate the Japanese?’” he said.

“My son is a lawyer. He lives in Japan and married a Japanese midwife so I have two grandsons half-Japanese and half-Australi-an – that’s the answer.”

Neil was a shipping clerk in Perth when he enlisted in the Australian Army and found him-self deployed in the Middle East.

“I was very fortunate; I got leave in Jerusalem and leave in Tel Aviv so I saw a bit of the country up there,” he said.

“Then I was posted to a Vic-torian unit and they were the fi rst troops to be sent back to Australia when Japan came into the war.

“We were on the Orchades coming back. They diverted us to Java when Singapore fell and of course something like 54,000 Japanese troops landed on Java and there was 3,000 of us.”

The 19-year-old found himself working on the Burma end of the notorious Burma to Siam railway that claimed the lives of thousands of allied prisoners.

Although they never met at the time, Harold Martin also worked on the same end of the railway as Neil McPherson.

“I think I might have been born with the right genes,” Mr McPherson said.

“I was a 19-year-old and Harold was 23 so we had youth on our side.”

Neil was a group settler’s son from Margaret River where dur-ing the depression he frequently went to bed without a meal, so hunger pangs did not frighten him as a prisoner.

“I had malaria and dysentery and I escaped ulcers which were a terrifi c killer because once they

Former POWs share wartime encounters

amputate a limb you haven’t got much resistance to the different diseases,” he said.

“I escaped beri-beri which was another killer.

“Another thing that killed a lot of chaps was the stress – chaps with families at home, the worry about how their wife was coping on their own was instrumental in a lot of them dying.”

Both men were selected to go to Japan and work in a coal mine in Kyushu prefecture which Mr

mine with the Japanese miners created a certain amount of ca-maraderie.”

When Japan fell, the Americans dropped rations. Prisoners would often fi ll haversacks and go hik-ing in the country visiting local farms and sharing their food.

“They showed us photos of their sons who were overseas. They were very pleasant times,” Mr McPherson said.

“I put on about three stone and when I got home people

hundred pounds waiting for me which enabled me to buy land.

“I worked for them for 50 years.”

“I started work in Perth, trans-ferred to head office in Mel-bourne, came back and became manager of our Perth branch where I started as a message boy 50 years before.”

Since moving to Albany several years ago Mr McPherson met Mr Martin for the fi rst time.

As two of the hundreds of work-ers deployed on the railway they had not known each other and although Mr Martin was also selected for mine work in Japan his ship had been torpedoed.

“He survived being torpedoed in a prisoner-of-war ship and was in the water for six days,” Mr McPherson said.

He paid tribute to his friends’ ability to survive and support each other during their time in the prisoner-of-war camps.

“The greatest thing that could happen to the camp was if we had some Australian farmers there because they could turn their hands to anything,” he said.

“They could take a bit of barbed wire and turn it into something useful like crutches or something like that.”

Mr McPherson has been back to Thailand, the former Siam, twice and celebrated his birthday a few months after Mr Martin who is now 100.

Together with former Lancaster bomber pilot Murray Maxton, who was a prisoner of war in Europe, they met the Minister for Veterans Affairs Dan Tehan for afternoon tea last week.

Neil McPherson and Harold Martin reminisced over afternoon tea last Wednesday.

“ He survived being torpedoed in a prisoner-of-war ship and was in the

water for six days.”McPherson said probably saved their lives.

“I was fortunate that when I went to Japan I went to a little village,” he said.

“We were working in a coal mine but the village had never been bombed and the people probably didn’t hate the Ameri-cans and Australians as much as in other areas.

“Sharing the hazards of the

would say ‘I thought you were supposed to be hungry’.”The Hardie Group, Mr McPherson’s employer, had a surprise for him when he returned.

“The Reid family who ownedthe company, made up the differ-ence between their employees’ wages that they would have got if they’d continued on working,” he said.

“So when I got home there was something like fi ve or six

IN 1889 LANCELOT de Hamel was a solicitor who, following his election as Mayor, managed

to outsmart the nominated local parliamentarian, Sir Thomas Cockburn-Campbell and become the local member too. His meteoric victory, however proved to be

hollow. The two local papers of the day, the Australian Advertiser and the Albany Mail took opposing views on every local issue, but a third paper, the Albany Observer, was very anti de Hamel and served to sway opinion against his ideas and methods. He was defeated as mayor by John Moir and Cockburn-Campbell was created unoffi cial nominee MP, enabling him to keep a watchful eye on his old seat of Albany.Meanwhile, de Hamel and his supporting paper,

the Australian Advertiser, began a campaign of meetings and editorials to separate Albany from the rest of the state and become a Crown colony. De Hamel claimed he had the support from a

British parliamentarian and saw Albany as a vital empire post and naval station.The dividing line would be near Mandurah and

of course Albany would be the capital.The idea was ludicrous and even the most faith-

ful supporters of Albany’s so called Mahdi (de Hamel) stayed away in droves from the meeting to launch his concept on Albany.

THE number of Australian children who outgrow

egg allergies has contributed to a drop in food allergies between the ages of one and four years of age.

New work by the Austral-ian Centre of Food and Al-lergy Research has found that nearly two thirds of children with food allergies have outgrown their allergy by four years of age; how-ever, there continues to be remarkably high rates of any allergy by four-year-olds.

The new fi ndings released during Food Allergy Week (May 14-20) from the Mur-doch Children’s Research Institute’s HealthNuts study, involved 5,276 children re-cruited at a year old. It has shown the prevalence of challenge-confirmed food allergies.

Food Allergy Week is an annual initiative from Al-lergy & Anaphylaxis Aus-tralia that aims to increase awareness of food allergy in an effort to promote un-derstanding and help protect those at risk.

Previously the Health-Nuts study reported on the prevalence of food allergies when 2,800 participants were recruited, the interim results showing more that 10 per cent had challenge-confi rmed food allergy at a year old.

This is higher than reports in other countries, ranging from one to fi ve per cent and earned Australia the unfor-tunate title of ‘food allergy capital of the world’.

The new results, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, refl ect previous research which has shown about 20 per cent of children will outgrow a peanut allergy and 80 per cent will develop a tolerance to eggs.

The study’s lead author Dr Rachel Peters said the preva-lence of asthma, eczema and hay fever in four-year-olds was also measured.

“Overall, 40 to 50 per cent of this population-based co-hort experienced symptoms of any allergic disease in the fi rst four years of their life,” she said.

“Although the prevalence

of food allergy decreased be-tween ages one and four, the prevalence of any allergic disease among four-year-old children is still remarkably high.”

Senior author Professor Katie Allen said the study results were among the most robust in the world as they were derived from a large sample size, a high response rate from participants and relied on the gold-stand-ard oral food challenges to measure allergies.

Professor Allen said there had been an increase in the prevalence of allergic diseases internationally, initially marked by a rise in asthma, eczema and hay fever, peaking in the 1990s and 2000s.

“This was followed by the second wave of the allergy epidemic, with an increase in reported food allergies over the last two decades,” she said.

“Allergies are now recog-nised as a signifi cant public health concern.”

Children in the HealthNuts study will now be followed up at age 6 and 10.

AN Albany Health Campus volun-teer program, which supports peo-

ple with dementia and those experienc-ing confusion, has recently advanced its numbers with 11 new volunteers joining the program.

A recent call for volunteers received an overwhelming response and all new recruits have now completed the re-quired two-day training course, taking the number of trained volunteers to 30.

Volunteer coordinator Rebecca Monk said the training course involved under-standing what dementia and delirium is and how to communicate and assist a person living with these conditions.

“Training from health service dieti-cians, speech pathologists and physi-otherapists has allowed new volunteers to develop the skills to help patients with eating, drinking and walking,” she said.

Learnings from the volunteer pro-gram will form part of a research project being completed with the Uni-versity of Western Australia.

“The aim of the project is to see if support from volunteers can improve the experience of those with a cognitive impairment,” she said.

“Through auditing medical records and collecting data on the number of falls, lengths of stay, medications used, and experiences of “changed behav-iours”, we are able to see if the patient experience has improved.”

Results of this research will be report-ed to the AHC by the end of the year.

People interested in taking part in the program are encouraged to contact Rebecca Monk on 0477 321 476 or [email protected] for further information.

WHILE most Albany residents would only see a ringtail possum when it is roadkill, over 40 volun-teers have been out at night observ-ing and counting these critically endangered marsupials on Mounts Clarence, Adelaide and Melville. The monitoring project aims to provide important information on population numbers, movements and habitat preferences to aid management of the species on the South Coast. Despite Albany being a stronghold for the species, little is known about them.

The 40 volunteers have helped with the program including com-munity members ranging in age from 12 to 90 years old, university students, community groups and the Aboriginal Green Army.

The project involved monitoring by spotlighting for four nights at three sites on Mt Clarence/Adelaide and three sites on Mt Melville over four seasons in 2016/2017, with the fi nal session just completed.

The number of ringtail possums seen while spotlighting was quite variable over the four nights and between sites, but it was not un-common to see eight to 12 over a one-and-a-half hour period. There has been no clear variation in num-bers between autumn and summer and mothers with young have been spotted throughout the year.

The joint project involves Oyster Harbour Catchment Group, City of Albany, Department of Parks and Wildlife and the Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management at UWA project and is funded by the State government

TO win the F45 8-week fi tness challenge, com-petitors follow strict diet and fi tness regimes, in order to lose the most body fat they can. This includes using recipes and shopping lists from the F45 Training phone app, combined with attending regular F45 fi tness sessions.

Natasha worked hard and lost an astronomical 8.9% body fat in eight weeks, a tremendous effort that has gained her worldwide atten-tion. Nearly 70 Albany competitors joined the 8-week challenge, with contenders and trainers creating a fun and supportive environment for all. The F45 crew lost an impressive combined effort of 200 kg!

F45 Training Albany owners Tahlia and Aaron are proud of the efforts of all their current F45’ers and encourage people to sign up for the next 8 week challenge. Coming around four times a year, the 8-week challenge is a fantastic way of becoming your fi ttest self.

Limelight on possums

as a Natural Resource Manage-ment Project. The citizen scientists have been getting data on numbers and behaviour of these possums which is vital in aiding the Albany population’s management and con-servation.

The project has also supported an Honours Project at UWA Al-bany. Honours student Bronte Van Helden has radio-collared ringtail possums on the Mounts and found they have home ranges of just under one hectare and mostly used Marri and Jarrah at night. Daytime refuges included dreys (nests made of leaves), Marri hollows and thick ground cover. Bronte has com-menced a PhD which will continue her studies of the western ringtail possum.

A community survey using motion-sensing cameras is also planned in residential gardens around the Mounts to monitor pos-sums in the urban areas adjacent to

the remnant bush. How often and when the possums visit, and when the young are present in the popu-lation will be measured.

Can a person without “capacity” make a will?

Legalease

ALL adults with capacity to do so should plan their estate and make a will for distribution of their estate according to their wishes, ideally in a manner which avoids disputes, adverse tax consequences and other diffi culties.To make a valid will in Western Aus-tralia, a testator must generally:• be at least 18 years old;• sign the will in the presence of at least two witnesses, or direct another person to sign it in the testator’s name in the presence of the testator and two witnesses; and• have the witnesses attest and sub-scribe the will.But what about:• An adult who loses capacity later in life without having made a will, or if there is a change of circumstances which would usually justify changing their will?• An adult who never had capacity due to a brain injury suffered before they are 18?• A child who has not had capacity due to a brain injury or because they are not legally of age?Without a valid will, a person’s estate would be divided according to intes-tacy laws between remaining family members according to a schedule of entitlements. Often the effect of distributing an estate in that manner leads to undesirable consequences, particularly if family members are estranged.

The Supreme Court of Western Aus-tralia and equivalent Supreme Courts in other states and territories have power to make a will (called a statutory will) for a testator without capacity. At times the applications may be made urgently when someone is expected to pass away soon. There are particular matters which the Court will need to be satisfi ed of in these applica-tions. Those matters will vary across jurisdictions and will often depend on the particular circumstances of the case.In Western Australia the Supreme Court may, on application by any person, make an order authorising the making or alteration of a will in specifi c terms approved by the court, or the revocation of the whole or any part of a will on behalf of a person who lacks testamentary capacity. A key ele-ment of the test applied by the Court in Western Australia is whether the suggested will or alteration or revoca-tion is one which could be made by the person concerned if the person were not lacking testamentary capacity.Example situations where statutory wills may be made are as follows:1. Adults who lose capacity later in life2. Adults who never had capacity due to a brain injury suffered before they were 18Future of statutory will applications: So far in Western Australia there have been only a few applications made for statutory wills but they are becoming more common in other States and Territories of Australia. While there are some differences in legislation be-tween the States and Territories which may impact the outcome, it is clear that the use of statutory wills will be in growing demand and could be used in a range of circumstances, including where signifi cant tax consequences or signifi cant family disputes could fl ow from not adequately making a statutory will or codicil.

By GEOFF VIVIANA GENERATION of Albany’s young people have passed through the Sanford Road PCYC building to take part in various arts, sporting and personal-development activities.

Manager Terry Eaton said $400,000 had just been spent refurbishing the building with new carpets, a paint job, undercover outside kitchen and a bus shelter.

Police minister Michelle Roberts came down from Perth to “open” the refurbished building last week with PCYC CEO Jock Gillespie and Police assistant commissioner Dwayne Bell.

She said she had fond memories of open-ing the facility in 2005 when she was police minister in the Gallop Labor government, Karl O’Callaghan was police commissioner and Terry Eaton the local PCYC manager.

Mr O’Callaghan and Mr Eaton are still in those positions and Ms Roberts is once again police minister.

She said PCYC had evolved from the Police Boys clubs that started after World War II to address community concerns about youth of-fenders when most police offi cers were men.

She said policemen acted as strong male role models and the clubs were known for their boxing tournaments.

“Today police is a very much more diverse organisation and they are servicing a whole community. It’s not just a boys-only club any more,” she said.

“It’s not just about boxing; it’s a whole range of initiatives and it’s a whole philosophy.

“A successful program like the Icebreakers program that’s run out of this PCYC is a real demonstration of that.”

She said methamphetamine abuse was a “driv-er of crime” and working with young people on programs like Icebreakers made a real difference.“We can deter young people hopefully from getting involved with drugs,” she said.

“When they do get involved with drugs we can help them get off the drugs and back to them being able to lead a productive life and being a valuable member of the local community.

“Hopefully we can do that and we can make this community a lot safer place for everyone else to live in.”

She commended Mr Eaton for his leadership and said PCYC Albany was in great shape.

THE local community is encour-aged to “save the date” and join

in the fun of the inaugural Welcom-ing the Whales Festival during the forthcoming long weekend.

Albany’s Historic Whaling Station is providing a day of whale-themed activities for all ages on Saturday June 3 from 10am to 2pm.

The festival celebrates the return of the whales to local waters and also acknowledges the value of whale watching to the regional tourism industry. The local whale-

watching season offi cially starts on the June long weekend and runs until October.

Historic Whaling Station manager Elise van Gorp said Albany has a unique history surrounding the whales which grace our shores and the forthcoming festival will bring those stories to life and connect the past with the present.

The former Cheynes Beach Whal-ing Station closed in 1978 and was the last operational whaling station in the southern hemisphere. The

site was taken over by the Jaycees Foundation which has been instru-mental in restoring the precinct into a world-class museum and one of Albany’s most popular tourist at-tractions.

This free community festival is supported by the City of Albany and the Discover Albany Founda-tion, with a fun-filled program that includes live music, roving entertainment, food, heritage and folklore and much more.

Whales welcomeThe local whale-watching season starts during the fi rst week of June.

THE Rostrum Club of Albany is inviting enquir-ies from people wishing to improve their public speaking skills.

“Rostrum’s for every-one. We all need to learn to speak better,” club president David Griffi ths said.

“From day-to-day ac-tivities to business to per-sonal functions, people use the skills they learn at Rostrum in everyday life and in society.”

The club meets once a week and members take turns to give a short speech on a topic of their choice in a structured program.

A senior member then critiques each speaker’s performance in a friendly and supportive manner.

“Those people go away and think about that and put it into action,” Mr Griffi ths said.

“It’s just great to see people gain the confi-dence and the skills that they wouldn’t otherwise have had in a friendly caring environment.”

He said Rostrum mem-bers often went on to chair meetings of various associations and gained more self-confi dence in all situations.

“There’s people from all walks of life. There’s people who have been in Rostrum forever and there’s new people that are in here for the first time,” Mr Griffi ths said.

The club meets eve-ry Wednesday evening during school terms at the Albany Bridge Club building in Mill Street.

People interested in Rostrum may call Mr Griffiths on 0427 414 033 or go to https://www.rostrum.com.au/wa-club-list/albany-club-63

Building confi dence

Senior Rostrum member Chris Walker then gave a critique of each speaker’s performance.

Members of the Rostrum Club take part in speeches ranging from an instructional talk to simply telling a good joke.

and Saturn and Jupiter in conjunc-tion, were all then brightly shining.

We secured two good cabins that happened to be vacant as far forward as possible. At 4am the Cathay, Captain Robbie, got under way. We had fi rst said goodbye to Mr Loftie, who had come on board to see us off and thanked him for the constant efforts he had made to render our three weeks’ stay in the neighbour-hood of King George’s Sound an agreeable one.

We asked him also to convey to the Governor our regret that we could not visit Perth, the capital of the colony.

We shall ever cherish a grateful reminiscence of the kindly loyalty we have experienced from all the Queen’s subjects at this our fi rst landing-place in Australia.

We steamed round the Bacchante and Cleopatra, whose lights and those of the pilot’s cottage, burn-ing bright at the top of the harbour, were the last sight we saw before we turned in and slept sound till 8am the next morning.

KING George’s Sound is one of the fi nest harbours in all Australia.

In time of war it would be a matter of vital necessity to Great Britain to secure it against an enemy.

It is agreed on all hands that this ought to be done and done at once and yet nothing has been done, not a single piece of ordnance of any shape or size, or a single torpedo or mine exists here.

Parliamentary commissions have

recommended its fortification, military offi cers from England have inspected it and pointed out what ought to be done.

The matter has been ‘carefully considered’ for 12 years, but the question has not yet been decided what department of government is really responsible for it, whether the Admiralty or the War or the ColonialOffi ce at home, or which, if not all, of the fi ve governments in Australia, for of course the scanty colonists of Western Australia cannot be ex-pected to defend it themselves and there has been much correspondence with the Treasury as to where the necessary funds, which would not be great, should be found.

There is little probability that any-thing adequate will be undertaken for its protection until Great Britain is federated at least for purposes of mutual defence with Australia.

An enemy’s ship with King George’s Sound for its harbour could do damage in a week to the extent of several millions sterling, for all vessels passing to and fro between England and the other Australian colonies, must sight the entrance to King George’s Sound and the commerce carried by them is equal in value to that of the whole of the United Kingdom at the time of the queen’s accession.

Most of this loss would thus fall on the British shipowners and un-derwriters. It is becoming a coaling port for an increasing number of merchant steamers and the store of coal kept at this unfortifi ed place would be invaluable to an enemy.

Far from our shores and from our minds as this out-of-the-way corner of the earth lies, the time will come

and that soon, when we shall have occasion to spend both thought and money upon it.

Western Australia, which occupies the whole western side and forms nearly one third of this great island continent and is thus the largest of all the Australasian colonies, con-tains an area of 1,000,000 square miles.

This one colony alone is thus nearly equal in size to British India, is fi ve times the size of France and eight times that of Great Britain and Ireland with a coastline more than 3,000 miles long.

At this day only 32,000 settlers (less than one third of the people of Cardiff) are thinly scattered over the occupied portion of her vast expanse, which stretches from the tropics to the Southern Ocean.

Princes bid The

ON May 15, 1881, a storm-damaged HMS Bacchante limped into King George Sound.

On board the ship were royal princes Albert and George (crowned King George V, May 1910) who were halfway through a three-year cruise patrolling the British Empire’s sea lanes.

Upon inspection the Bacchante’s rudder proved to be extensively damaged, forcing the princes and crew to stay in Albany for three weeks until repairs were completed.

In 1886 The Cruise of HMS Bacchante, credited to Prince Albert, was published.

Included in its two volumes were extensive recollections by the princes of their time in Albany and surrounds.

The Weekender has published edited text from the Albany extracts over the past issues. This week is our fi nal instalment.

Prince Albert in 1881.

“ We shall ever cherish a grateful reminiscence of the kindly loyalty we have experienced from all the Queen’s subjects at this our fi rst landing

place in Australia.”

SAILOR Whitehead torpedoes at a spar that was towed eastern of

the whaler with George in charge. The second torpedo which he

fi red, defl ected when it hit the water, from 3° to 5 to the left, ran along the surface, struck the whaler, ran clean through the port side of the boat and remained there as a plug fast wedged in the air-cases, which it had penetrated.

The boat at once fi lled but, being a life-boat, kept afl oat and was towed alongside with the torpedo still sticking in it by Captain Durrant in his galley.

The torpedo was then extracted and the boat hoisted up; it was a lucky thing that nobody’s legs were broken. Though it was Saturday afternoon we manned and armed boats, launch and pinnace away, afterwards firing. There was a cricket-match between the Bac-chante’s and Cleopatra’s crew, both skippers playing.

In the fi rst innings we made 68 and they 39; going in again they made only 17, so we won by an innings and 12 runs.

THE second 11 played a return match against the Albany 11 and beat them easily again. They gave us lunch at the cricket-fi eld; it was a bright, warm day and very pleasant.

In the afternoon there was a riding party to King Point, from the high ground above which the best view is obtained all over the Sound and its twin off-shoots – Princess Royal and Oyster harbours, especially in

the low light of the afternoon. From there we rode down over the hill to Middleton Beach, on the opposite slope, descending to which, through the eucalyptus woods, another and quite different view opens inland over the scrub far away to the la-goons and high hills beyond.

On the sandy beach here, as we were galloping full tilt, one of the horses caught his forefeet in a hole and turning head over heels, rolled twice over his rider before he got free.

Luckily the sand was very loose

where he fell so no bones were bro-ken. Though very stiff, he was able to mount and ride into the town, two miles distant, at walking pace.

He had a hot bath directly he got on board, but felt the effects for some weeks afterwards. Mr Johnson, the rector of Albany, dined on board.

As an Oxford man he is not more isolated here than he would be in many an English village, though he is 200 miles away from the nearest clergyman.

The telegraph gives him the latest European news every morning and mail-steamers which call in often,

bring him a passing colonial bishop on his fl ight homewards or outwards.

The place too is uncommonly healthy and the people are hearty and kindly disposed.THE Snowdrop Minstrels (the Bacchante’s negro troupe) gave an entertainment at the courthouse this evening on behalf of the Sea-men and Marines Orphans Home at Portsmouth, at which they got £18. The next day Mr. Loftie came off and brought us two white cockatoos, one of which afterwards became uncommonly tame and a general favourite on board up to the day we arrived in England.

His berth on board was usually in the stoke-hole, where he was taught many graceful tricks by the chief engineer, and succeeded in imitat-ing to a nicety the various sounds of the machinery and of the men when getting up ashes.

A picnic party went away in the steam pinnace towing the dingy up Oyster Harbour and the King River, where some of the youngsters got left behind, and had to fi nd their way home in the dark through the bush.

We have been here three weeks now. Adelaide is only three days distant, so we are going thither by next mail in order to visit South Australia, and hope to rejoin the ship at Melbourne, where the captain expects to arrive about the I7th.

WE are roused out at 1.30am as the mail was in. We went on board in the pinnace by the light of the moon and stars, which, together with the comet

From page 9.These colonists own 1,500,000

sheep, 70,000 cattle, and 35,000 horses. In the northern territory the fl ocks are almost entirely shepherd-ed by Aboriginals who take a larger share in civilised life and labour in Western Australia than in any other part of the continent.

The one great need of the colony is more people (of the right sort of course), not only more hands to la-bour but more capitalists to employ them.

The present settlers have expended lately £20,000, nearly £1 per head, towards introducing labourers and emigrants from England, who, if they do not maintain their families with ease in health and comfort on arrival have only themselves to blame.

Although there is plenty of room and attraction for new comers, the difficulty hitherto has been that the emigrants to Western Australia would not stay here but went on to the wealthier and more bustling eastern colonies, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland, with which at present it cannot pretend to compete.

However, already the tide is set-ting the other way. Settlers, able to work and to wait, possessed of shrewdness, judgment, and content with moder- ation, if moreover they are able to command from £500 to £3,000, are likely to do uncom-monly well; for here they would not be crowded out by bigger men, but would be able to obtain a footing in industries, which elsewhere no one who had not a much larger capital would dream of entering.

Of course folly and inexperience lead to loss and ruin just as quickly here as elsewhere. In the same way as we are told they did even in

paradise. Besides direct immigra-tion from England, the promotion of public works is being encouraged by the colonial government.

Railways and telegraphs are being built, the former on the American land-grant system (12,000 acres for every mile of railway made) and will involve the expenditure besides of over one million of money; for easy and cheap means of communication are absolutely needed to develop the colony, which contains some of the most fertile land in the world.

Fremantle (where Sir John Coode is bettering the harbour at a cost of £100,000) on its western coast hopes to be the Brindisi of Australia, when the railway is made continuously to Eucla and over the frontier into South Australia and when the Eu-ropean mails for Victoria and New South Wales would travel overland from this the nearest point of call.

The south west corner of the colony is a grand forest country. An area equal to that of England is covered with jarrah, karri and ironwood, the special qualities of the fi rst of which woods is that it is absolutely imper-vious to atmospheric influences, white ants, sea water, or sea insects, and is non-infl ammable.

The jarrah piles in the Suez Canal at the end of seven years show no signs of deterioration. This timber traffi c is capable of great develop-ment; knowledge, capital, and en-terprise are of course required for this industry.

But even with these vast and untouched forests the manner of working should be carefully watched and culpable waste prevented. The sandalwood also found in the more interior parts has for some years been a valuable export, chiefl y to China.

Of the total territory, 2,700 square

miles have already been sold or granted away. Of the land still owned by the Crown, 250,000 square miles have been leased for sheep and cattle runs, but about 750,000 square miles of Western Australia are yet even unexplored. At present only the parts border on the sea-coast from 50 to 200 miles inland are settled.

There are districts in which water is scarce; but boring for water and its proper storage after the heavy rains, have as yet been scarcely attempted,

and will in time give a value to what is now comparatively worthless country.

Good agricultural soil occurs in considerable tracts and in other places the productiveness of ground which appears nearly pure sand is astonishing.

The local Parliament meets at Perth – there is only one chamber. There are 16 members, elected by 13 electoral districts and the Crown nominates to eight other seats.

The executive power is in the Governor’s hands, assisted by an ex-ecutive council of seven permanent members (the colonial secretary, attorney general, senior military offi cer, treasurer, surveyor-general, director of public works, and com-missioner of railways).

Tact, carefulness, temper and good feeling are required for working suc-cessfully this form of government, midway between a crown colony, and one absolutely self-governed.

Free institutions are only hindered in Western Australia by its immense territory and scanty population; with more population will come full re-sponsible government, as in the other Australasian colonies.

Meanwhile, as a preparation in some degree for this, the colony enjoys the advantage of an excellent education law; the smallest centre of population boasts its government school.

The exports and imports have mounted 150 per cent, in the last 12 years. Time, energy, and population from Great Britain will yet further increase them.

June 10 – Albany to Adelaide

IT was a curious sensation to get up this morning and have no regular work to do at sea. Everything in the ship appears very clean and nice, the decks especially so. There happens to be only 37 pas-sengers on board. The wind is gradually rising and at last turns to a strong muzzier from the north-east, the sea too is getting up: the captain is complaining that we are only making 12-and-a-half knots against it. This, however, seems a fair speed to us, who have been accustomed lately to the leisurely and dignifi ed crawl of a man-of-war.

The compass that the mail boat carries is far in advance of the old service pattern, being one of Sir William Thomson’s, which, up to the present time, have been forbidden to the Navy by the Admiralty, but which are, nevertheless, gradually coming into use.

The officers in the mail service fi nd no diffi culty in adjusting the magnets, though it is feared that naval offi cers might. There are lots of albatross following astern and the night turns out wet and squally, with plenty of scud fl ying across the moon.

Before the morning of the next day (the 11th) we dropped to 11 knots, owing to the strong north-easter and at noon had only run 252 miles since 12 o’clock on the 10th. It is blow-ing four to six, but going against it makes it appear stronger.

The chief engineer says he has been eight years in the ship and has never been so unfortunate in the weather as he has been on this trip.

The Cathay was two days behind time at Albany, having had strong head-winds all the way across the Indian Ocean from Ceylon to the Leuwin and now, when they had hoped for better luck, after having doubled that cape, have still fallen in with head-winds on the other side.

We fi nd her a most comfortable boat, especially forward away from the screw.

She generally carries her larger cabin ports open, each being a foot and a half square: even in the weather we have now we can carry the scuttles open. The ship is manned throughout by Lascars, as are all the P & O boats.

This race formerly manned the Mogul’s navy and when that came to an end took to piracy. They are full of spirit, capital workmen, do not shirk exertion, and are trusty if led by English offi cers.

The younger members of our party have extemporised various games on deck: tug-of-war, quoit etc. and so keep ourselves warm and get up an appetite for the meals, which seem to come pretty frequently.

“ The chief engineer says he has been

eight years in the ship and has never been

so unfortunate in the weather as he has

been on this trip. ”

LettersLettersto the editor

Young trailersmarginalisedI’M reluctant to stick my head up

again about trails, but as a walker and trail cyclist I feel I have to.

If the author of the letter “Man-age Trails Appropriately” (The Weekender, May 11) felt threat-ened when he encountered cyclists coming down a local trail, then perhaps it was as a result of pro-tracted marginalisation of young people in Albany.

Young people who, unlike their counterparts in Victoria, Queens-land, Tasmania, NSW, ACT and the NT, have less than 1km of sanctioned trails to ride on, which falls so far short of what it should be, it isn’t funny.

Consequently, mountain bikers here in Albany, having only 0.7km of dedicated trails to ride, have to share space with other trail users, and you with them, which isn’t an ideal solution.

The truth is, there is no ‘them and us’ in terms of the greater community, despite the hostility you’re generating; the survey (and extensive consultation) conducted about trail development was over-whelmingly supported.

Also, there are two sides to every story.

Who knows how you behaved when you encountered the cyclists who allegedly swore at you?

I know that many people locally, and not just cyclists, are sick of this hostile marginalising behav-iour towards mountain bikers, who are as much a part of Albany’s community as you, so it’s no sur-prise that someone lost their cool with you.

I personally don’t condone ag-gressive or rude behaviour, but I do understand it.

If you want the easy answer to resolving this confl ict, undoubt-edly due to bloody-mindedness on the “no” side and frustration on the other, then I’ll spell it out: well-designed, professionally-built trails.

Edward de Bono once wrote the

easiest way to stop someone going from A to B was to sell them C, which in this instance is obvious – more trails.

Culture clashes in relation to cycling or any facet of public space where confl ict occurs are invariably caused by lack of, or poor infrastructure.

Get behind trail development, allow the City to do what they have been asked to do and what the majority of local people in Albany,want, rather than wasting taxpayers’ funds responding to constant complaints and behaviour intended to prevent trail use other than by walkers (broken glass on trails, branches across tracks, walkers going up the bikes-only pilot trail).

Final point. What is important to remember is that mountain bikers, like this author, are also pet own-ers, walkers, photographers, enjoy wildlife and enjoy the environ-ment, so we “get it”, in terms of protecting the environment.

How many of the “no” camp have ridden a bike on trails, have kids who want to exercise locally, or friends who want to come to Al-bany to enjoy the topography and environment, but go home sadly disappointed?

Most people who ride bikes and walk (or both) don’t want to hear negativity, they just want more places to ride and walk safely, as I’m sure you do.

More trails, properly built, ar-moured, safe and well-planned, equal less confl ict and a healthier community, and that includes MTB users, walkers, runners etc.

Rising rates of childhood obesity, kids who have never ridden a bike among the trees and bush with the sun going down, and a healthy Al-bany, demand that trails go ahead.

Well-built trails will leave moun-tain bikers feel they are a welcome part of the community and will en-able you and I to walk safely (and my two dogs, who enjoy the hills as much as I do) on shared trails and those dedicated to cyclists and walkers respectively.

They will also protect our hills for future generations and will

create abundant business oppor-tunities for the local community.

– Andy Bell , Albany

Prevent potentialtrail accidentsI AM writing in support of the

person who wrote of their expe-riences with mountain bike riders on Mt Clarence published in The Weekender, May 11.

I am a regular walker on Mt Mel-ville and have had some very close calls involving fast downhill riders as I was ascending.

I have no issue with mountain bike riders per se, but I think they should be forbidden to ride on the steep narrow winding trails that are usually found near the summit.

One close call I had was just before a sharp bend on this type of trail as I was ascending.

I was able to dodge the im-pact by leaping off the trail. The only warning I had was hearing a squeaky brake just before I jumped.

I thought, however, about a friend who walks up there fre-quently who is deaf.

If she had been there instead of me, she would not have heard what I heard and could have possibly been killed.

There are young parents with newborn babies on their chest, parents with very young children and elderly people who are at risk as they attempt to enjoy the peace of the bush.

These steep, narrow and wind-ing trails only comprise a small percentage of the trail network.

To deter vehicles perhaps dead trees could be felled across the trail at intervals.

Walkers who have the level of fitness required for these trails would not mind stepping over an impediment every now and then es-pecially if it insures that they will not be run into by a speeding bike.

Instead of waiting for them to happen, we need to prevent any future tragedies.

plan. We need to know what mat-ters to residents and how to protect these values. To make sure the plan is representative of the com-munity we want to hear about your special places, plants and animals; the variety of landscapes; or the kinds of community and lifestyle you value. This includes farming, mosaics of land use, the signifi -cance of vegetation and places for recreation. TCG needs your input, so please attend one of our events.

7 June 6-8pm South Coast Progress Hall, Little Grove; 14 June Torbay Hall, Torbay. Food will be provided. For information contact Pip Tilbrook 0439 461 591 or [email protected].

DURING the month of June, Tor-bay Catchment Group (TCG) will be running two free community events. Two topics will be covered on each occasion; however, the locations differ.

One topic is the western ringtail possum. If you live in Albany it is hard to imagine that these possums are actually critically endangered. The mounts in Albany appear to support stronghold popula-tions which can make them seem plentiful. However, this is not the case. In many other areas, such as Denmark, the possums are not often seen. Despite being endan-gered, their distribution within the Albany region is not well understood. TCG is undertaking possum surveys west of Albany to add to what is known of the possums’ distribution, but we also want your feedback about where possums are found.

The second topic is what you value most about where you live. TCG is reviewing its catchment

Two for one – possums in the spotlight and community values

A NEW Australian Women’s Army Service (AWAS) Exhibi-

tion at the Princess Royal Fortress (Forts) was offi cially opened last week and has highlighted the im-portant part women played in world confl icts.

The AWAS was attached to the men’s army and undertook tasks that would free up the men for ac-tive combat overseas.

According to curator of the Forts, David Theodore, the exhibition has been years in the planning during which time numerous AWAS ar-tefects have been sourced for the display, including a 50-year time capsule.

“We are also celebrating 75 years since the fi rst women were posted to Albany,” he said. “The AWAS were here for barely a year, De-cember 1942 to November 1943, but this exhibition has been created to shed a new light on the lives of women in the army.”

However, the star of the show was Gwen Norman (nee Piermont), who offi cially opened the exhibition.

Gwen is “98 going on 99” and believed to be the only remaining member of the AWAS.

Gwen enlisted in 1942 and did her initial training as a drill instructor in Claremont, and progressed to the rank of sergeant.

She was posted to Albany in 1943, attached to the Albany Fixed De-fence Force as 21C, where she con-tinued to teach the girls to march to the steady rhythm of a drum.

She was delighted to shine at such an important occasion and to share some of the recollections of those bygone years.

“It is great to see the girls recog-nised and they all did a great job fi lling in for the men, and living under pretty diffi cult conditions,” she said.

“We only had basic mod cons and were pretty isolated up at the Forts and in the barracks,” she said, in a joint interview with The Weekender and ABC local radio. “I was in charge of 60 girls, most of whom were fi ne, but there were always a few ‘rogues’ among them.

“But we also had lots of fun and

some marvellous dances, and of course plenty of romances and lo-cal marriages, including my own to Gordon.”

The women all wore khaki uni-forms, and undertook a range of tasks including operating the manual army telephones and wire-less transmitters in the Wireless and Signal Offi ce.

A special display cabinet has also been dedicated to Gwen Norman which tells her story and includes photos of her as a young woman. A recording of her recollections of her AWAS days can also be heard.

The AWAS Exhibition runs until August 6.

A LARGE crowd of friends, family, industry and com-

munity representatives gath-ered at the Comfort Inn on Saturday to pay tribute to well known “Captain of Industry” and philanthropist Len Smith. Hosted by the new owners of the motel, Cattia Andreas and Elizabeth Lovell and Bri-an Lovell, the occasion was marked by memories and ap-preciation of Len’s contribution for more than 40 years to his community and the special role played by his late wife Maisie.

Apart from managing the motel and building up the business, Maisie (who died 23 years ago) was also an enthu-siastic gardener, with dozens of roses and hibiscus plants still fl ourishing in the motel grounds.

Several generations of the Smith family were represented, including Len’s first cousin Claire Evans (91) who was proud to claim that she had known Len his entire life.

Lifelong friend and Deputy Mayor Greg Stocks kept the formalities to a minimum, while three-piece string en-semble, La Classique, added a touch of class to the occasion.

However, the highlight of the day was the unveiling of a plaque and the dedication of a newly created garden at the front of the motel called The Len and Maisie Smith Park.

It was a particularly moving moment for all involved and project manager Elizabeth Lovell explained the garden had been specially designed to include Maisie’s roses and be a place of quiet refl ection and memories for Len, his friends and many guests who stayed at the motel.

“Our family is so proud to have bought this business from such a fi ne man and now we want to do Len and the com-munity proud,” she said.

“We have a lot of plans for the business, but we will always feel Maisie’s spirit here and always hold Len in the highest regard for what he achieved.

“This new garden is a way of showing our respect and grati-tude for this opportunity to be part of the Albany community.”

DIRECT Lighting Albany has just purchased a new product, the electric wall-mounted panel heater called an Eccopanel.

This unique winged panel has been designed for applications which require ambient warmth at very minimal cost and has been engineered for effi ciency, safety and longevity.

It employs the latest technology and incorporates the most advanced water-repelling impregnation to

resist humidity throughout its entire lifetime.

This attractive slim-line panel can be painted to match any décor for any house or offi ce.

There are no exposed electrical elements, plus no fan – so it circulates no dust.

This means it’s safe for children and also great for asthmatics and dust-allergy sufferers.

“This product is excellent where a heat source is required

and there are children or pets close by,” business owner Greg Spaanderman said.

He also mentioned, “The panels do get hot to the touch but do not burn. They can be used in bathrooms, lounge rooms, bedrooms and we have seen them in motel or hotel rooms. Apart from this they are very cheap to run making them an excellent and versatile heater used in so many different places. There is also no draught from these units

because there is no fan so the convection heat that comes off these heaters gives any room a lovely homely, cosy feel.”

With the price of electricity rising, now may be the time to look at an affordable heating system which is very economical to run.

If you are looking for a safe, effective heating system, talk to the friendly staff at Direct Lighting at 154 Albany Highway or call them on 9842 1313.

WHEN NASHS’ students perform at the Sounds of

the Great Southern CD launch later this month they won’t be performing any cover songs.

Music teacher Courtney Thomas said her students now had more of their own original songs than they would have time to play at the concert.

“We’ve had the incredible opportunity to have two mu-sic industry leaders come and spend two days writing songs with our senior school students,” she said.

“What they have been able to get out of that with real world experience and industry knowledge is just invaluable.

“It’s given them confi dence to think about pursuing ca-reers in the music industry.”

Anna Laverty, who has en-joyed a number of producing and engineering roles, which include working with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Kate Miller-Heideke, Lady Gaga and The Cat Empire and former Eskimo Joe frontman Kav Temperley, worked with 16 of the Year 10-12 students.

Each group of four students now has an original recording of their original song, with each student owning a quarter share.

“They all have legal own-ership of these songs,” Ms Thomas said.

The copyright agency ARPR sponsored the Song Makers mentoring program.

NASHS’ principal Sharon Doohan said the school was lucky to be one of only fi ve in WA and 50 nationwide to be offered the program this year.

WELCOME to a home that of-fers a rare opportunity to buy in a highly desirable, central

location with the potential to subdivide.Just a few minutes’ walk from Al-

bany’s historic city centre and with fantastic harbour and windmill views this property also presents develop-ment potential. Take advantage of this zoned R30, 914sqm block and build a second home for future investment.This older-style, timber-framed prop-

erty has been home to the same owner for the last 18 years and he acknowl-edges that future buyers would want to upgrade or remove simply for the location, views and land size. Being set back from the road and

well screened, this home offers plenty of privacy and would be easily missed when driving past. Only a viewing

would reveal the side access that leads you down to the single garage.Come and take advantage of this

fantastic location and revamp and add your personality to this existing home that comprises three bedrooms, one bathroom plus two living areas.Begin your journey into the home by

descending the brick steps from the footpath that lead you undercover to a potential courtyard; or with a bit of DIY you could turn this outside area into the patio. From here you enter the home and

step into a small reception room with the family bathroom on your left and a storage room on your right.Continue on and the home opens up

to reveal an open-plan, kitchen, diner and lounge area. A social kitchen and dining space is untouched style-wise but kept neat as a pin. Its older style

cabinetry is still fully functional and offers plenty of storage and bench space. A lovely feature of the home is the

extra wide hallway that begins from the lounge/dining room and dominates as the central spine of the home with two of the bedrooms positioned on the left and an extremely large master bedroom on the right. The master room would easily ac-

commodate its own lounge area and with an existing tile fire already in place adding more luxury to such a large space. You will not fi nd a bigger bedroom than this. Plus, with plenty of windows down the one side of the bedroom there’s no shortage of light either.To fi nish off you’ll fi nd the second liv-

ing area at the end of the hallway. This living zone is huge and large enough to

home another lounge suite and dining table, with the added perk of harbour views and access to the garden. The back garden is fully fenced and

secure providing a safe haven for the kids and family pets to enjoy and to take advantage of the gentle, sloping easy-care lawn.If you’re looking to buy a property on

a prestigious street with the luxury of strolling to the CBD within minutes, then look no further. And with the po-tential to subdivide into two lots, you’ll reap the rewards. A perfect money spinner or save for later as a future nest egg or investment for the children.Rita McLean is the exclusive agent

for this property at 215 Grey Street West. Contact her on 9841 0207 or 0427 423 200 or email [email protected].

few years later a cavalryman saw him and decided that someone so good looking must be a cavalry-man and he was sent to military school. He wanted to continue in the

military but his father sent him to medical school. Medical school in those days relied very heavily on dissection of cadavers to learn anatomy. This is a family news-paper, so I won’t say anything more about that.

Dupuytren’s skill and his person-ality both set him apart from other men. His surgical skill was legend-ary. He worked with the wounded from the war and treated revolu-tionaries and aristocrats. He mastered different areas of

surgery and saved many who otherwise would have been disa-bled or disfi gured – or dead. To-day, to do what he did, you’d need a plastic surgeon, a vascular sur-geon, an eye surgeon and a brain surgeon – back then you just needed Dupuytren. You’ve got stuff called fascia

under the skin of the palm of your hand. Sometimes, especially in people descended from Vikings, the fascia gets thicker and tighter. It can make the fi ngers curl up,

and cause pain and people can get other problems. Weirdly enough, rheumatoid

arthritis protects you from get-

Historyof Health

WHEN I did woodwork at high school the second project

was a pencil case. It was five bits of smooth pine wood nailed together and a sixth bit that was the lid. After my sixteenth week on the pencil-case Mr Williams drew me aside. I was an exceptional student,

he said, and I did exceptional work. Here he indicated the pencil case where the lid didn’t open, and the one where it did not close and the one that had seriously injured another boy and the one that was still, even now, glued to the workbench. And for the coup de grace, he

took down and opened the latest of my creations. A pencil case made of pine, carefully nailed together, but with 30 or so nails jutting through the wood into the space inside, so that it was like some tiny mediaeval torture device for heretical pencils.“You’re not thinking of taking up

surgery?” he said. I said I wasn’t. “Thank God,” he said, and I

passed woodwork.I was never going to be a great

surgeon, but I am fascinated by the history of surgery and I’m amazed by what they can do. And one of the most fascinating was Dupuytren. Dupuytren was born about 250

years ago in France. He was ap-parently the son of a poor lawyer and when he was four years old a woman tried to kidnap him because he was so beautiful. A

ting this problem. The disease is called Dupuytren’s contracture and Dupuytren was the fi rst to fi x it with surgery. His work ethic was almost su-

perhuman. He told his assistants when they started “Your job is also to replace me if I am absent or ill. I am never absent or ill.” And he meant it – he took barely

a handful of sick days in 25 years. And he was often very unpleas-ant. He was sarcastic: “Sir, you

have symptoms of syphilis. Have you ever been with a prostitute?”

“No!” “Well, they’ve been with you…”

He could also be paranoid, greedy and short tempered. But I think he was greedy

because he’d been so poor, and paranoia in France in those days, when even the highest were only a few whispers from the guillotine – was probably common sense. And he understood human nature. He once saw an elderly and very

proper woman who had fallen and dislocated her shoulder. “Your son said you fell over because you were drunk,” he said. The elderly woman “fainted from

horror” – this was very much the done thing at the time and Du-puytren fixed her shoulder and woke her up. Next time you need surgery, be

grateful to people like Dupuytren, who made very dangerous things safe. And next time you use a pencil case, be grateful to Mr Wil-liams, for stopping me doing the opposite.

SINCE the fi rst seven people at-tended a training course in 1977 to become a volunteer adult literacy tutor, the Read Write Now program has assisted more than 40,000 West Australians.

For 40 years volunteers have provided free lessons in reading and writing, with a dedicated group of tutors who meet each week with their adult student to work on improving their reading and writing skills. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics around 46 per

cent of the adult Australian popula-tion has problems with everyday functional literacy.

Students come from all walks of life with some studying and needing support to complete their course, some employed and needing an extra skill set to maintain their job, and others with personal goals relating to family literacy such as being able to read to their children or help with their homework.

Similarly the volunteer tutors

come from various backgrounds but all have a genuine interest in working with people and helping them achieve literacy goals.

People seeking help with their reading, writing, spelling or basic maths are encouraged to contact the program. Students need to be over 18 years of age and perma-nent residents with good spoken English. For more information contact 1800 018 802 for the Read Write Now program.

SUNDAY 4 JUNE 2017SUNDAY 4 JUNE 2017For the past 26 years, a group of Albany residents, with assistance from the City of Albany and the Vintage Sports Car Club of WA (Inc), have presented the Albany Classic Motor Event around the streets of Albany. The event is, in the main, a commemoration of “Round-the-houses” motor racing which began in WA at Albany in 1936.

Over the years this event has grown to reach “iconic” status, locally, nationally and internationally, and annually brings a fl ood of visitors to Albany on the June long weekend. It is a part of the State Regularity Championship and drivers travel from NSW, Queensland and Victoria to compete. Besides the benefi ts devolving directly from the visitors, many local charitable groups use their participation in the event to raise funds for their other activities in the Albany region.

As well as car racing, there will be a festival with stalls, music and entertainment for the whole family and displays of vintage and classic cars.

The event is once again being held on the June long weekend and the following road closures will be in place:

2200hrs (10:00pm) SATURDAY 3rd June – 0600hrs (6:00am) MONDAY 5th June

FUTURESFUTURESBRIGHTBRIGHT

By GRACE JONES

RUMOUR has it that under-neath the old Post Office

are tunnels running from Albany Port to the battlements on Mt Adelaide.The entrance to these ‘tunnels’

are supposed to be found in the Spectrum Theatre. Legend has it they were built for running munitions to the battlements so any potential enemy would not be able to interrupt supply lines. Another rumour is a tunnel

runs up to the Earl of Spencer and was perhaps used during the 1920s to supply the pub with alcohol directly, instead of having to go down streets and through traffi c.Unfortunately, it all seems to

be just a myth created from a kernel of truth. Local history coordinator Sue Lefroy said the

‘tunnels’ are a popular topic of conversation. “It’s something I get asked a lot,” she said. “But after all the research I’ve done, nothing has been mentioned of them in any building plans or council minutes.”Ms Lefroy believes there may

be some kind of drainage tun-nels running down York Street or from Mt Clarence from the days when fl oodwater ran through the centre of town.The old Post Offi ce, originally

built in 1863, also served as the customs and court house.At the time it was the largest

and grandest building in Albany being three storeys high and was regarded as an engineering achievement.Designer James Manning

struggled not only with digging into the hillside, but also with

major drainage issues due to underground streams running down the hill. The building’s clocktower, built from bluestone imported from Sydney and designed by George Temple-Poole, was added more than 30 years after the building was initially completed.

Initially built to roof height, the tower was extended by another 20 metres in 1900. You can spot the tower extension from the change in the colour of bricks used for the construction. After the alterations were completed, the customs department took over the middle and lower fl oors.

A sign on the rear verandah stating ‘HM Customs’ is still vis-ible. The top fl oor remained as the Post Offi ce, which held the customer areas, mail counters and a general sales area.

By 1900 Stirling Terrace was the centre of town boasting four hotels, three banks, three department stores, shipping agencies, a hairdresser, tobac-conist, chemist, greengrocer, bakery and tearooms.

In 1964 the Post Offi ce moved to the corner of York and Grey Streets and by 1983 the old building was restored to what it is today.

It’s changed hands plenty of times over the years and has been home to the Common-wealth Employment Offi ce and Tax Department, the Fellowship of Australian Writers, Missions to Seamen, the Albany Pigeon Club and even a restaurant named Castle Lodge.

In 2002, current residents UWA relocated to the building from the Headmaster’s House.

UWA Albany acknowledged the academic ex-cellence of its students at its annual scholar-

ship presentation evening recently.The university is proud of the high calibre of

students who applied for the scholarships and is grateful to all sponsors and donors who support the teaching, learning and research.Water Corporation’s Albany offi ce has been

sponsoring a scholarship to assist a student aged 20 years or older to pursue university studies since 2001. BA student Tammy Healy, who has a particular

interest in psychology, was delighted to be the 2017 recipient of this scholarship.“I’m doing advocacy work for families from the

Autism Association,” Tammy said.“I’ve realised there is a defi cit in services for

families with children who have been diagnosed with autism.“I’ve noticed a gap between diagnosis and link-

ing with services that can provide support, not only for children but also for adults, so I’m keen to work in this area.”“I’m enrolled in a double degree in psychology

(BA and BSc in psychology) and am hoping to carry on to an honours pathway into clinical psychology.”

AIYANA Retreat’s owners Gadi and Lalita Barak were sur-

prised to fi nd out their business recently won an international award for customer satisfaction.Gadi Barak said he and his wife

had not entered the HotelsCom-bined platform competition and were not asked for an entry fee.“We actua l ly were rea l ly

shocked,” he said.“We got a letter about two weeks

ago by the leading agent in Aus-tralia and they told us they are entering us into the awards. They say they have to have at least a 9.5 rating. “That’s very high already and we

scored 10 out of 10.”The awards are based on the

number and quality of positive reviews patrons post on various websites, forums and social me-dia platforms.Gadi said the business attracted

291 positive reviews.“We got 10 out of 10 which was

almost unheard of,” he said. “In certain areas we were just

excelling beyond their expecta-tions especially when it comes to presentation.”However, this not the fi rst time

the business has been recog-nised.“We’ve been open for 10 years

and the local business centre was shocked to see we still had 70, 75 per cent occupancy rates even

Gadi and Lalita Barak.

during winter months,” he said.“They wanted to know what we

were doing and we said we have this strict cleaning regime.“We spend up to four hours

cleaning the chalets so the level of presentation we have for our customers is like European style.”Gadi said his wife Lalita was a

“tyrant” when it came to presen-tation.“I’m more like the builder and

the designer and the maintainer and she’s the main therapist and keeps the quality control up,” he said. Aiyana Retreat offers boutique

accommodation on about 1.5ha of bushland on the Bibbulmun Track between Denmark and the beach.

It consists of a wellness centre surrounded by four chalets, which the couple designed and built themselves. “We’ve spent a lot of time de-

signing them – they have features such as stained glass and round walls,” Gadi said.“They’re built in an eco-friendly

way but very luxuriously.“Pretty much 80 to 90 per cent

of our customers treat themselves to at least one to two massages while they are here.”Aiyana’s wellness centre is also

open to local people and guests staying in other accommodation. “All the therapists working for us

are highly qualifi ed and mostly specialise in remedial massage,” Gadi said.“We specialise in realigning the

body.”“Over the years people have got

to know that we offer really high quality massages so it’s part of the pampering experience while they are here with us,” he said.A HotelsCombined representa-

tive said the business is now in the top three per cent of hotels world-wide for customer satisfaction and is entitled to place a special badge on its website.“This program is completely free

and doesn’t involve any costs or contracts,” the representative said.

“We connect people to the services they need. Whether it’s lifestyle changes or information on the help they can receive, we’re here to help.”The Cancer Council provides all man-

ner of support including Cancer Support Groups, practical and fi nancial support, legal assistance and cancer-counselling services.With a donation as small as $25 the Can-

cer Council can provide a Great Southern patient with reliable volunteer-driven trans-port to treatment and accommodation in Perth, and a donation as large as $500 can provide two weeks of funding for a PhD research student to investigate new and better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.This year the Cancer Council will be

celebrating the unique cancer support services that Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea helps to fund, for example providing almost 60,000 Australians with informa-tion about cancer via 13 11 20 and more than $1.6 million in fi nancial assistance to those in need.Cancer Council Australia CEO Professor

Sanchia Aranda said Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a great way for Aussies to support the one in two Australians who will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85, as well as their loved ones.“Each of the thousands of morning teas

that will take place in workshops, communi-ties and peoples’ homes play a vital role in

ensuring Cancer Council can continue to provide a wide range of support services across Australia,” she said.

“Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is an opportunity to gather your friends and loved ones together to raise vital funds to ensure Cancer Council can continue its vital work, including support for those affected by cancer.”

ACCORDING to the Cancer Council, one Australian is diagnosed with cancer approximately every fi ve min-

utes – the length of the average tea break.Throughout May and June, the Cancer

Council is calling on all Australians to host or attend their local Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea to raise funds.One of Albany’s Biggest Morning Tea’s

will be held at the Museum of the Great Southern in the Co-op Building, on Thurs-day 25 at 9.30am.Whilst there will be the traditional morn-

ing tea to participate in, there will also be a Biggest Morning Tea auction, for which several local businesses have donated to raise funds and lawn games to play for a gold-coin donation.Of the businesses that have contributed,

RMI Engineering has donated two fi re pits and an ornamental panel, Due South has given a magnum of wine, Ocean Dreaming Massage has pledged a voucher for a one hour massage and Single File Wines has bestowed some of their selection to the Morning Tea cause.To get involved in the auction, you will be

able to bid online on the Museum of the Great Southern Facebook page or via a silent auction box at the event. The online auction will open at noon on Monday 22 and will close at noon on the Morning Tea day.Tahli Crosby organiser for the museum’s

Biggest Morning Tea said she’s surprised with the amount of the local business support she’s received, including the two historical pictures the Museum is donating as well.“I’m quite overwhelmed with the amount

and kinds of donations local businesses have made for our Biggest Morning Tea,” she said.“I hope we raise a lot with the amazing

donations.”Fiona Williamson the Cancer Support

coordinator for the Great Southern said there will be 16 registered Biggest Morning Tea’s in the region over the next couple of weeks, with three in Denmark, three in Mount B arker and three in Katanning.Ms Williamson said that every donation

makes an impact on someone in need.“There are many ways we can help those

suffering and affected by cancer,” she said.

SOME of the fi nest and inter-national comedy talents will

take to the Albany Entertainment Centre stage this month when the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow comes to town.Now in its eighteenth year, the

roadshow delivers the best of the popular Melbourne festival to more than 80 towns and cities across Australia.Appearing at the Albany show will

be MC Bob Franklin, Gillian Cos-griff, Venezuelan Ivan Aristeguieta, British comedian Carl Donnelly and Guy Montgomery from New Zealand.An Edinburgh Fringe favourite,

Donnelly’s style of comedy landed him nominations for the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2013 and for Best Newcomer in 2009.Donnelly has performed at some

of the world’s biggest comedy festi-vals including the Montreal Just for Laughs, Sydney Comedy Festival and the Kilkenny Cat Laughs.Montgomery is an award-winning

comedian, improviser and screen-writer best known as co-host of the international smash podcast The Worst Idea of All Time. He’s a stand-up comedian in the

time comedian after having a suc-cessful career as a brew master and food technologist in his home country of Venezuela. He quickly escalated to become

part of the new Venezuelan com-edy movement selling out shows around Venezuela and Miami-Florida. In 2012 he migrated to Australia and took on the challenge of performing comedy in a second language.A few months into perform-

ing comedy in English, he was hand picked by the Melbourne International Comedy Festival to participate in The Comedy Zone, the show featuring the best fi ve up-and-coming Australian comedians.Bob Franklin is an award-winning

stand-up comic, writer, director and actor. His television and fi lm work in-

cludes Bad Eggs, The Librarians, Stupid, Stupid Man, Please Like Me, Jack Irish and Thank God You’re Here.He has written and directed two

By ANTHONY PROBERT

FANS of Troy Cassar-Daley should get in quick if they want to see the country music

legend perform before he takes a well-earned break from regional touring.Speaking on the phone ahead of

his forthcoming show at the AEC on Wednesday, May 31, Cassar-Daley said it was time to take a break and rejuvenate when he fi n-ishes touring his latest show, after a busy few years spent recording and on the road.In the vein of Jimmy Barnes’

performance at AEC late last year, Cassar-Daley’s Things I Carry Around show intertwines stories from his autobiography and songs from his latest album.He admits his story is more like

a trip to Disneyland in comparison to the violence and alcoholism threaded through Barnes’ auto-biography, but he doesn’t deny there were still issues to confront, which are laid bare for the audi-ence during the show in both song and story.He said sitting down to write the

autobiography was challenging, but it was also cathartic.It had forced him to confront

some of those issues and experi-ences that had been swept under the carpet over the years.“When I was growing up I felt like

I didn’t fi t between the cultures of my Maltese father and Aboriginal mother,” he said.“I definitely fell between the

boards for a few years there.”Cassar-Daley said he soon

learned that he felt more at home in the wide expanses of the bush

than where he had spent the fi rst part of his life in the inner-city sub-urb of Sydney’s Surry Hills.And it was in regional NSW that

the love of country music deep-ened.Cassar-Daley accepts praise for

his well-known vocal ability, but he is also an accomplished guitarist.“I’m a musician first and fore-

most,” he said.“The only way you could get a

job out the front of a band in Tam-worth was if you could play guitar as well.”Cassar-Daley said the decision to

write an autobiography and take it one the road with an accompany-ing album was about being com-fortable in his own skin.“A lot of young artists struggle

with fi nding who they are,” he said.“I’ve never chased fads. It’s great

to be yourself and at a stage of your career where you are happy with who you are.“You shouldn’t have to change

who you are when you step out your front door.”With the threat of a long gap be-

tween Cassar-Daley’s forthcoming date next Wednesday and his next live show in Albany, he promises an enjoyable night of honest story-telling, with music to match.“The setting will be like a lounge

room so you will feel like you are at my house, with me sitting and playing for you,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to do an intimate

show like this for a while with myself and two other musicians. “There will be memories shared

and new music to hand over to you.”Cassar-Daley has dragged a few

friends along for the ride with Chris Haigh on bass and Vaughn Jones on keyboard/piano.The pair have been working on

and off with Cassar-Daley for over a decade. “The noise we make for three

people is pretty decent,” he said.If the accolades for the album

are anything to go by, fans are in for a treat.Cassar-Daley took home the cov-

eted Album Of The Year award for Things I Carry Around at the 2017 Country Music Awards of Australia.Cassar-Daley was also elevated

to the Australasian Country Music Roll of Renown and is the 50th artist to be added to the memorial attraction in Tamworth that has been inducting country music’s greats since 1976.Across his 30-year career, Cas-

sar-Daley has collected a bag of awards, including four ARIAs, 35 Golden Guitars, two APRA Song of the Year awards, nine Deadlys and four CMAA Entertainer of the Year awards. Tickets for the show at Albany

Entertainment Centre on Wednes-day, May 31 are available from the AEC Box Offi ce or direct from Ticketek at www.ticketek.com.au.

AUSTRALIAN UK-based folk-punk troubadour, Ben-ny Mayhem, is returning to

his home town Albany to perform with his band on Sunday.Benny recently released his

new single Song For Absent Friends.Written in a hotel room in the

Austrian Alps, the song is a mix of Benny’s trademark folk-punk sound with Sunnyboys-style Australian power pop and a touch of Californian punk.“I lived in Albany for 11 years,

growing up at Middleton Beach, Lower King, Spencer Street and Burgoyne Road,” Benny said.“My family moved around a

lot, but each place had its own magic.“Hearing the railway shunting

at night, walking the jetties and wharves, bushwalking and fi sh-ing are all happy memories. And the rain on a tin roof.“I have a song called Kinjarling,

the traditional name for Albany in the Menang Noongar dialect, and means ‘place of rain’.

“ I wrote that when I was 29-years-old and it describes many of my fondest memories.” Sunday’s gig will be Benny’s

third trip to the region since he fi rst returned as a solo musician in 2014, helping with the Anzac Albany commemorations. He performed at the Stirling

Terrace Mess Hall and conduct-ed workshops at TS Vancouver naval cadets, where he and his father were once cadets – as well as at Denmark TAFE.Benny moved to Perth with his

family in 1994.“We didn’t intend to stay away

for long, but in those days the big city had many more opportuni-ties than we had in the county so I lived there for the next 18 years,” Benny said. “I threw myself into the original

music scene where I was very active for a long time – especially with my punk/rock’n’roll band Project Mayhem, which is how I became Benny Mayhem. “The old band were very suc-

cessful locally and performed

for 10 years straight. We were a band of buddies and eventually we decided we all needed to do something else for a while. “I had never travelled, so I

moved to London. But I didn’t re-ally have much of a plan of what to do when I got there. “So I did what came naturally

and became a full-time profes-sional musician.“I took every opportunity I

could and that took me right across Europe, including the UK, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.“I’m now able to take that ex-

perience and build on it here in Australia and especially WA, which is my home and a place that will always be dear to me, wherever I may fi nd myself.”Benny will perform his own

brand of folk-punk at the King River Tavern, Millbrook Road, on Sunday May 21. Tickets will be available at the

door.

Classic Car Series

From the grave to the grid


“IT’S a beast to drive when you’re going slow,” utters Shane Udecz as he pulls up in

his 1968 Ford Cortina MkII.Although it only sports a 1600cc

engine, it boasts Weber carbs and the power to be competitive on the circuit.Shane has been involved in

speedway for more than 20 years, as a competitor and supporting his brother Clint. With this as a background it is

easy to understand that the biggest challenge facing him when he fi rst competed in the Albany Classic, three years ago, was to remember to change gears – a slightly differ-ent style of driving in the concrete canyons of the Albany CBD.The Cortina was unearthed on a

farm near Narrogin a few years ago. Intitially, the intention was using it

as a parts car, but it was decided the car was too good to wreck. As part of a family effort, Shane

started restoring the car around fi ve years ago. His brother Clint tunes

the carbs by ear and Shane, who is a qualifi ed TIG welder, has ensured that his Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) approved roll-cage is the best it can be.

Shane loves the social aspect of

the Albany Classic, not just on the day, but with other drivers and vol-unteers throughout the year.

His favourite part of the track is the chicane in Peels Place – so look out for him cruising through there.

Shane is also there as part of the team constructing the track on Saturday night. “You won’t believe the amount of concrete moved in fi ve hours until you see it,” he said.

In the meantime, Shane will or-ganise his paperwork to compete in future historic events that are organised by the Vintage Sports Car Club of WA.

– Vicki Clark

I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was locking the front door. I said, “Hey, the sign says you’re open 24 hours.” He said, “Yes, but not in a row.”

Caledonians’ Aaron Griffi ths attempts to intercept the ball from Bayswater’s James Opuni in the Men’s Open game last Sunday.

By KERRY HARVEY

Last Tuesday, Old Boys played Bayswater in the Great Southern Soccer As-

sociation’s Men’s Masters fi xture. Coming out strong from the

outset, Old Boys scored four goals to Bayswater’s two. In the second half Bayswater came on stronger but the Old Boys knocked in two more, while Bayswater added a consolation goal. Final score 6-3 to Old Boys.

The next crowd-pleaser saw Cal-edonian Reserves take on the Vets.

This was a tough game from the start, with Vets defence keeping Callies at bay during the fi rst half.

In the second half, Caledonians’ fi tness and youth began to pay off with three goals hitting the back of the net. Final score Vets 2-3 Caledonian Reserves.

Polonia Reserves met Cross Keys United (a Polonia team), with both teams playing a strong game.

Yet the Reserves come out on

top scoring seven goals to Cross Keys two. In the fourth game of this week’s Masters, Denmark beat Albany Rovers Black 4-1.

The Women’s B League had games in two locations again this week. Royals started the round eighth on the ladder, but after a convincing 4-0 win against Port Albany moved up two rungs.

Grammar White began their match against Polonia White with more players giving them the advantage. Despite Dana Hotch-kin scoring two goals and Amy Franklin one, Grammar kept up the pressure and won 8-3.

The Women’s A League is very close right now with just one point between the top three positions.

The Mother’s Day fixture be-tween Caledonians and Bayswater began with yet another sunny day uncommon for most soccer games this season. Top of the league Caledonians were the favourites to win; however, Bayswater fought a strong game and won the ball

from Callies time-and-time again, frustrating their game and fl ow.

At the end of the fi rst-half Cal-edonians were up by two goals.

In the second-half Bayswater came out fi ghting and you could sense their hunger for a goal.

Bayswater fi nally scored with a shot across the goal in the 64th minute. After that, the game was anyones, with Bayswater on the lookout for their second to equalise the game. However, it wasn’t to be and Bayswater were unable to captilise on potential goal-scoring opportunities.

Instead Caledonians stepped up and scored another, affecting Bayswater’s fi ghting spirit. Final score 4-1 to Callies.

Games in the Men’s Open at the weekend saw Albany Rovers beat Polonia 2-0 and Albany Baywater lose 1-4 to Caledonians. Royals forfeited their match because they couldn’t meet the minimum num-bers needed to start, so opponents Phoenix received the three points.

Tides & Tips

What’s biting?

It’s time fi shos headed north THE recent weather

has me thinking about getting away

from Albany and heading into the sun-swept north of our state to work on my tan and catch a few fi sh.

With many southern fi shos suffering from cab-in fever, I thought I would talk about some great des-tinations to head to.

The Abrolhos are a clus-ter of islands off the coast of Geraldton.

They are well known for their unique fi shing as you can catch a mix of warm and cold water fi sh from the same area.

It is not uncommon to

catch a dhufi sh on jig then land a coral trout on the next drop.

The best time of year to head to the Abrolhos is between March and May.

Moving further north you reach the popular holiday destination of Kalbarri which is only a fi ve-and-a-half hour drive north of Perth.

If you keep up with the tailor fishing scene you’ll know some of the state’s biggest frequent the reefs and beaches around Kalbarri. Good catches of mulloway can also be had around the town but they will require a lot of time, patience and research to hook and land.

It can be difficult to find accommodation in

Kalbarri during school holidays so getting in early will ensure you’re going to be there for the peak fi shing time of April through to May.

Steep Point is your next major fi shing destination heading up the coast, with an 11-hour drive from Perth and the need for a 4WD.

Steep can provide some great fi shing for pelagic species due to the deep water directly off the cliffs.

Spanish mackerel are the main target species for anybody using high speed metal lures and bibbed minnows as they are incredibly aggressive and taste great.

Most people heading to Steep Point will be fi shing land-based as it is famous for its high cliffs which allow you to balloon and spin for prize pelagics.

Boat fishers can also enjoy some great action while trolling lures and bottom bashing for demer-sal fi sh such as baldchin groper, pink snapper and many others.

The best time of year to head to Steep point is No-vember through to April for pelagics and May to July for boat fi shos.

Further north you will

fi nd yourself in the game fishing capital of WA, Exmouth. Home to whale sharks and gamex, Ex-mouth is a tourist-oriented town with fi shing a major source of revenue.

There are some great land-based and boat fi sh-ing options in Exmouth with many fi shos targeting members of the trevally family off the beaches and reefs due to their in-credible power and dirty tactics. Boat anglers can also tap into the state’s

ONSHORESMALL numbers of salmon are still showing up at Shelleys and Salmon Holes. Dunsky Point at West Cape Howe has been consist-ently producing good numbers of bluefi n tuna, bonito and pink snapper and is well worth a fi sh if the weather permits.INSHORESQUID numbers have been on the rise. An-glers putting in the time and miles have been getting good catches. King George whiting are still quiet with reports of them coming from the eastern side of The Sound.OFFSHORETHE weather has stopped many fi shos from heading offshore, but given how stirred up the water has been and the recent moon phases, I expect to see good catches of pink snapper for anybody brave enough to head out as well as hopefully the bright redfi sh moving back in from the shelf soon.

FOLLOWING in the footsteps of AFL he-

roes can start even earlier for budding juniors, with Auskick introducing its Footy Fundamentals pro-gram for two to fi ve-year olds.

Southern Districts Jun-ior Football Association (SDJFA) Auskick coordi-nator James Bee said the program used football to encourage participation and improve motor skills for toddlers.

“Quite often the little brothers or sisters are sit-ting on the sideline watch-ing the big kids having fun,” he said.

“Footy Fundamentals is a great way of get-ting them involved and it helps with their hand-eye

coordination as well.” The healthy kid-to-parent ra-tio at Saturday’s opening week of the program at North Road’s junior foot-ball oval was testament to the program’s emphasis on parental involvement.

Former Railways’ stal-wart Troy Barnes has jumped in the deep end, running the program and keeping the group of young footy fans moving through various activities.

And to kick off the sea-son, the budding juniors were each given a football donated by local business owner Colin Bowey of Rent For Keeps.

There may still be places available. Contact details are available from the SDJFA Facebook page.

LAST Saturday saw Railways Tigers take on Albany Sharks at Tigerland.

Despite kicking their highest score since round nine of last season, Sharks were unable to stop Tigers from registering a 121 point win.

After winning the toss and choos-ing to kick towards the North Road end, Sharks looked a completely different side to the one which had lost its previous three games by more than 100 points.

Michael Simpson got things mov-ing for Sharks with two goals, but Railways sustained the high pres-sure and a run of six unanswered goals saw them leading at the fi rst break, 6.4 (40) to 3.1 (19).

Just like the start of the game, the visitors registered the fi rst major through Barry Loo, but a string of fi ve goals to Railways put an end to any sort of a comeback.

As it reached the half-time break things got heated between Jordan Garrood (Sharks) and Nathan Penn (Railways) and both were given red cards.

Scores at the break were 12.5 (77) to 5.1 (31). Inaccuracy saved Sharks in the third from having the score blow right out as Tigers added seven behinds in the third, though they were still able to add six goals to fi nish 18.13 (121) to 6.3 (39).

Sharks may have a future injury concern as Jack Banks hobbled off late in the third quarter and didn’t return.

The home side turned the screws tighter in the last quarter keeping Sharks scoreless while adding six three themselves. The Tigers ran out victorious with the scoreboard reading 24.16 (160) to 6.3 (39).

Stewart Davies stood tall in the ruck all day and was in his side’s best along with Luke Pitman and Jaxon Smeed.

For Railways the Marwick broth-ers were having a day out kicking 13 between them, Coen (7) Zane (5), while Logan Stubber contrib-uted two and was also in the best players for Tigers.

In the other Saturday game the undefeated Royals travelled to Den-mark who were looking for their

fi rst win. The Lions would come away with the points, winning by 43, 8.9 (57) to 15.10 (100). Samuel Baddley-Holmes continued to put it through the middle with fi ve goals.

It was a come from behind win on Sunday for Mt Barker in the grand fi nal rematch against North Albany.

Trailing by 12 at the last break the Bulls scored fi ve goals to two in the fourth to win 11.11 (77) to 13.11 (89). Kym Monteath (Bulls) fi n-ished with a game-high four goals.

After the fourth round, Royals remain on top with four wins, Mt Barker and Railways are in second and third (three wins), last year’s premiers are in fourth on two wins, Denmark-Walpole are fifth and Sharks round out the table in sixth.

Round five will start Saturday with the two sides looking for their fi rst win of the season, Sharks vs Demark-Walpole at Centennial Stadium and Mt Barker will host Railways at Sounness Park. Sunday will see the Royals play North Al-bany at Centennial Stadium.

MANY people ask the question “When I start doing leg weights, won’t my legs start to get big-ger?”

When you begin weight train-ing, your muscles will almost immediately start to get stronger and more toned. As a result, if you’re doing leg weights, it’s likely that your jeans will start to feel a little snugger around the thigh area. But there’s no need to panic – it just means that what you’re doing is working.

The change you experience in muscle shape or tone hap-pens in the early stages of lifting weights. As you continue to train, the change plateaus and

your thighs won’t keep getting bigger. Nor will you need to buy jeans in the next size up!

In essence, lean muscle mass is really, really good for you. Muscle is excellent for preventing diabe-tes, protecting your joints, and helping keep your bones strong. Increased muscle leads to an increased rate of metabolism which, among other things, helps control your weight.

And remember – whether you do light weights and high repeti-tion or heavy weights and low repetition, research shows that our muscles will get stronger and more toned. Whichever way you choose to lift weights, the ben-efi ts will be worth it.

OUT WITH THE OLD


INTERCEPTS were the fl avour of the game in

the A4 clash between Roy-als Saints 5 and Bullets 2.

Royals’ players Imo-gen Sivwright and Alex Winters were strong in defence, gaining posses-sion of the ball and setting up a strong win 42 to 31.

Despite injury, Royals’ captain Mackenzie Smith provided great commen-tary and encouragement from the sideline.

Bullets’ defender Taylor Ellery also took nice in-tercepts and Kelly Rose’s shooting saw good goals apiece in the second quar-ter. However, some smart coaching and a strong fi nal quarter from Royals saw them seal the win.

Grammar 9 was too strong for Kangas 13 with a convincing 45 to 5 win in B2. Grammar put together an outstanding team ef-fort which was rewarded with some superb shooting from Paige Narkle and Taylor Latham.

Livia Alvarez de Toledo was also a crucial player in the mid-court. Lauren Riddell was a stand-out for Kangas who marked her value with hard work in defence. Other B2 results included Grammar 10’s win over Kangas 18, 34 to 28 and Bullets 4 defeated Kangas 17, 37 to 17.

ROUND 3 of the Albany junior soccer season saw big crowds

again enjoying awesome weather.In the U18s, champions Gram-

mar strolled into their game against Polonia expecting an easy victory, as the latter was fi elding a side made up from a number of U16s’ players.

In a hugely entertaining match that wouldn’t have looked out of place in a British amateur league, the two teams slugged it out like prize-fi ghters.

Referee Riley Martin was in great form, recognising the differ-

ence between a strong challenge and a dirty tackle – something of-ten missing in the modern game.

The fi rst half ended with Polonia in control 1-0 – the goal coming from live wire Jarrod Wiegle.

The second half was a scrap-pier, yet still enthralling affair, with Tyler Willmore and Lauchie Cutler commanding at the back for the Reds.

But Grammar was not done yet. Captain Matt Leary dragged

his boys up to the plate, Steven Gerrard-esque, to equalise with

a thunderous shot three minutes from time to scenes of ecstasy from the Grammar players and fans.

The game fi nished 1-1 but Gram-mar should not see this as a point won but as two points lost to a gutsy group of Polonia players who won’t be underestimated again.

In other games, Bayswater saw off John Calvin 6-0 and Stirling Rangers belted Polonia White with a strong performance from Matty Walker.
