2016
A Fabulous Festival for All
Music, dancing, poetry, art, markets, workshops, utes and trucks,
tourists, volunteers and amazing community spirit contributed to
making the 2016 Boyup Brook Country Music Festival such a success.
The five day Festival, held from February 17 to 21, presented fabulous
artists with great variety from icon, John Williamson to the energetic
Irish/Scottish combination, the Borderers, the impressive vocal range
and yodelling of Justin Standley to Rohan Powell and the Walk the
Line Band, who performed tribute shows to Willie Nelson and Johnny
Cash. The list of talent extended to the great harmonies of the
Sherrahs, Catherine Britt and the very funny Bec Hance.
“This is a great Festival,” said Rohan Powell. “So many artists from
the Eastern States are lining up to be invited to the Boyup Brook Music
Festival.”
The Ute and Truck Muster was full of diversity from the convoy of Above: Headline artist, John Williamson
seven ‘Quick Brick’ trucks, vintage trucks and cars to the modern utes
throbbing, roaring and tooting their way down the street with flags flying. Perhaps what made this year’s parade so special was the
spontaneous applause that was directed toward the volunteer Fire Brigade vehicles as they passed by. The mounted police were
also popular with the crowd that lined the entire parade route.
Again the Bush Poets did not disappoint with their many activities over the Festival, starting on Thursday at the Tennis Club and
culminating in another huge Bush Poets Breakfast at the Music Park on Sunday morning.
Summing up his first experience of the Boyup Brook Music Festival, Justin Standley said, “Thursday night’s concert was a cracker
and set the tone for the rest of the performances.”
“There have been so many highlights,” Justin added. “I could have stayed a week at Harvey Dickson’s Country Music Centre and
would still be discovering new and interesting things to admire. I had yarns with a couple of lovely Noongar people [part of Justin’s
heritage is Noongar], and caught up with country
music friends like Bec Hance, Kate Hindle and
Ben Sorensen.”
But the biggest highlights for Justin were
performing to such appreciative audiences and
enjoying the impressive talents and variety of all
the other artists. He said, “I’ve worked at dozens
of festivals, here and overseas, and Boyup Brook
would have to be one of the most well run,
engaging and friendliest I’ve ever had the
pleasure of performing at.”

COMMUNITY CALENDAR
Welcome to the March edition of The Boyup Gazette. February
has come and gone and with it, another successful Country
Music Festival. Well done to the Country Music Club,
volunteers and entire community to once again put on another
memorable event.
MARCH
I would like to take the opportunity to mention our emergency
services crews who, in recent months, have unfortunately been
kept extremely busy with a number of serious accidents. The
work of our Police, Fire, Ambulance and medical personnel is to
be commended. Our thoughts are with those directly involved
in the accidents and their families, but also with those who have
attended the incidents (many in a voluntary capacity) as part of
their contribution to the community.
March is a busy month starting with the Camp draft and Open
Tennis Tournament and finishing with Easter, along with plenty
of activities in between. Time to get out the diary and jotting
down some dates….
Until next month
Cheers, Jodi

Art Provides Different Dimension to Festival
Landscapes, portraits, abstracts and quilts made up just some of
the masterpieces on display at the 2016 Boyup Brook Art
Awards. This event was held in conjunction with the annual
Country Music Festival from 18 – 20 February.
The Art Awards, now in its seventh year, brings another
dimension to the Festival and aims to support, promote and
encourage regional artists.
This year, it attracted over 160 entries by 54 artists from 22
locations, including 11 local Boyup Brook artists.
Donnybrook Artist (and former Boyup Brook resident) Christine
Blowfield was awarded the Open Prize for ‘Blue Gums’
commenting “I was really surprised and honoured to win the
Open Award.” Blowfield not only caught the eye of the judge,
Jane Holland, but also the public taking out the People’s Choice
award for ‘Golden Light’.
This year was the first time the Boyup Brook CRC coordinated
the event with CRC Manager, Jodi Nield paying tribute to
everyone involved with the event. “Thank you to our generous
sponsors, the talented artists, CRC staff and volunteers who
contributed their time during the week.”
“It was also fantastic to see so many community members and
visitors wander through the exhibition, resulting in quite a
number of pieces sold.” A percentage of the art sales proceeds
will be put towards community arts projects in the coming year.

Councillors Corner
Cr Eric Muncey
The Annual Electors Meeting was held on Thursday
18th February 2016, it was a poor turn out with only 7
residents in attendance. The main topic of discussion was
about trees in the town. It was suggested that the box trees
from the War Memorial to the BP be replaced with new trees.
As you can appreciate our Manager of Works and Services
Manager gets inundated with telephone calls regarding general
concerns and complaints. Enquiries of any nature should be
made through the front desk Customer Service Team. All
enquiries are electronically registered and will be actioned by
the relevant staff member.
I still encourage residents to contact their Ward Councillor if they
wish to raise any matters.
I wish to welcome Sergeant Jodie Shuttleworth to the Boyup
Brook Shire, please welcome and support Jody if you see her
around town.
Comfortmakers
Each year a group of women have gathered to make simple
patchwork quilts for the needy.
The fabric is donated by anyone cleaning out their sewing
cupboards. Cotton only. Financial help was given over the
years by the Lions Club and personal donations. The money is
needed for the batting which is purchased each year.
Once again we had an exhibition of the quilts at the CRC last
year and received a lot of donations in the coin tin. A big thank
you to the CRC staff for all their help .
Last year we received a certificate of thanks from the St Vincent
de Paul in Bunbury for our endeavours in producing up to 25
quilts a year to be distributed by them for ones in need.
We meet in the Parish House corner of Jayes Rd. and
Robinson Ave. You do not need to sew, we need to have
people to pin, iron and match up fabric and all newcomers are
welcome.
We will reconvene as a group again on March 4th from
10.30am onwards. Come and say hello!!

Second Hand Books for BlazeAid
Funding for Boyup Brook Pool
Once again, one of the most popular stalls of the Country Music
Festival street carnival on Saturday February 20 was the
Combined Churches Book Stall, held in the grounds of St
Saviour’s Anglican Church.
$3 million to revitalise regional pools thanks to Royalties for
Regions
Many thanks to all the people who contributed in any way to the
event’s success. $1,780.00 was raised through the book sale
and a further $275.10 was donated from the jumble sale held at
the same time.
A number of people work for several weeks prior to the day of
the stall sorting and pricing the hundreds of books and then
setting up. This year there was fabulous selection of books
available so a special thank you to those who donated so much.
Our thanks also to the Country Music Committee for their
support of this Book stall.
This year the decision was made to pass the money on to the
'Blaze Aid volunteers' who do so much to assist in particular fire
victims from the rural regions. Currently they are in desperate
need for equipment to complete tasks such as re-fencing and
provision of tools and materials in general support for farmers in
the Waroona–Yarloop–Harvey region following the devastating
fires there. It is hoped this donation will go someway to assist
farmers to get back some part of their livelihood once more.
BlazeAid is funded totally by volunteer groups with no additional
Government funding and currently have two camps in operation
in WA, one in Grass Patch and the other in Waroona. We have
been assured this donation will go directly to assist the
Waroona Camp with all equipment purchased ultimately
staying in WA for use in the future.
Iain Parker, Combined Churches group Boyup Brook
Local public swimming pools and aquatic centres in the
Warren-Blackwood area will be in top shape this summer,
thanks to a funding boost made possible by Royalties for
Regions and The Nationals WA.
Member for Warren-Blackwood Terry Redman, welcomed
this week’s announcement of almost $3 million in funding for
the Community Pool Revitalisation Program – which will be
put towards 94 aquatic centres, swimming pools and water
playgrounds in regional communities.
“The program was a Nationals WA election commitment, and
will help local governments with the funding necessary to
maintain and upgrade their aquatic facilities, purchase new
equipment, provide staff training, or to subsidise the cost of
entry to the pool,” Mr Redman said.
Margaret River, Boyup Brook, Bridgetown, Donnybrook and
Manjimup pools in the Warren-Blackwood area will all receive
funding from the program that allocates up to $32,000 per
aquatic centre.
“Royalties for Regions is ensuring community swimming
pools continue to be safe and vibrant places to enjoy physical
activity and a healthy lifestyle,” Mr Redman said.
Minister for Sport and Recreation and acting Minister for
Regional Development, Mia Davies MLA, announced the
funding this week.
“Particularly in regional and remote communities, aquatic
centres are important facilities because there’s evidence that
when they are well patronised, they contribute to a reduction
in chronic disease and improved educational and social
outcomes,” Ms Davies said.
“We also know that active children learn better, aside from the
mental and physical benefits, there are also great community
and social outcomes for kids who are active.”

Big Haul from Fox Shoot
Once again we had a safe and successful fox shoot, which
surpassed our most optimistic expectations! The fox tally was
up by almost 50% from last year’s tally (316) with 466 foxes
shot. 21 cats were brought in to the weigh-in as well as 110
rabbits. About 127 people were involved in the fox shoot over
the weekend of which around 80 attended the breakfast at the
Boyup Brook Pistol Club.
A total of $800 was raised for the Royal Flying Doctor Service –
this comprised the team entry fees and money donated to the
pistol club for the breakfast that they put on for us.

As always, this event has built and strengthened relationships in
a healthy outdoor environment with a significant environmental
outcome.
Marc and Erlanda Deas
From this result, as well as discussions with shooters and
farmers, the rabbit numbers are down for this time of year and
the fox numbers are unusually high in some parts of the
shire. It was decided that we should have another fox shoot in
April, just before lambing. This will be held on the weekend of 8
and 9 April and we will only require tails for the count. There
will be a breakfast at the pistol club at 9:00 on Sunday 10 April
– no team registrations or prizes and anyone is welcome to take
part.
After the prize giving, a regular visitor from Perth, Derek Hall,
North Metro Shooters and Fishers Party delegate, spoke about
some of the proposed changes to the WA Firearms act and how
these changes will affect our fox shoot and farmers in
general. Proposals include yearly renewal of all property letters
(these are a once-off requirement for a licence application at
present), limiting shooters to properties for which they have
formal written permission only (no more verbal permission) and
requiring farmers to keep a register of everyone shooting on
their land as well as installing a safe for these firearms (license
holders are required to ensure the safekeeping at present – as
it should be). The few proposals listed here will mean a
massive amount of unnecessary paperwork every year, just to
run our fox shoot. This year we had about 100 people shooting
on 83 different properties with most teams shooting on more
than one property – it would be impossible to comply with all
this paperwork as suggested, not to mention the policing
issues! Please take this up with your local member.
Thank you to all who participated and gave their time in various
ways to make this possible. A big thank you also to our many
sponsors who helped to make this the biggest shoot so far –

International Soil Health Experts to Visit
The Blackwood Basin Group (BBG) in conjunction with Soil
Restoration Farming (NSW) are excited to be co-hosting AgroEcologist, Educator and Systems Thinker – Nicole Masters from
New Zealand as well as Walter Jehne – Soil Microbiologist and
Soil Ecologist from the ACT, in their first appearance on their
WA tour at a Soil Health Forum in Boyup Brook on Thursday 17
March.
The forum ‘Answers and Actions for Healthy Soils in a Western
Australian Climate’ will showcase the increasingly talked about
theme of protecting and enhancing our soil microbiology in
order to combat limiting factors in plant performance in our
climatically-changing farming environment and looking towards
versatile tools to address stagnant problems and unlocking the
potential in yield, quality, food nutrition and profit, now and for
the future.
Nicole is the director/owner of Integrity Soils, New Zealand and
has extensive practical and theoretical experience in
regenerative/holistic farming practices. She has been
communicating these methods throughout Australasia and
North America since 2003; helping to inspire and guide farmers
into new and innovative ways to produce food with soil as a
major driver for ecosystem health.
Walter is the co-founder of Healthy Soils Australia and has
extensive field and research experience at a national (CSIRO)
and international (UN) level in the management of soil biology
for regenerating soil health to improve
productivity and resilience in agricultural
systems.
Last year he spoke at a UN conference in Berlin, Germany
celebrating the Year of the Soil.
“This is an exciting opportunity for food producers to draw on
international knowledge and tools from soil health experts that
are passionate about unlocking the potential and harnessing
what their soils have to offer in this ever demanding economic
climate,” said Sara Weir, BBG Project Officer.
“This topic of the importance of a cleaner growing, safer and
more versatile farming system is becoming increasingly talked
about and it’s great to be able to open communication channels
to give WA farmers a chance to work more towards a
sustainable farming ecosystem.
The packed cropping and mixed farming forum will look into
combining the best of chemistry, physics, biology and
microbiology with sound on-ground farm practices. Attendees
will also hear from Agronomic Consultant, Deb Archdeacon from
Agronomica, who will introduce a local (Boyup Brook) stubble
and fish emulsion project and speak on how stubble retention
fits into building soil carbon, productivity and resilience.
Running from 9am-5pm at the Boyup Brook Football Club, with
a cost of $50 per person or $90 per couple, completing the day
with a sundowner, the day is sure to be of benefit to anyone that
attends.

How often do you sit with a pen in hand and make a few lines,
shapes and scribbles here and there on the nearest piece of
paper?
It happens more often than you think and recently, the Boyup
Brook Community Resource Centre conducted a workshop
dedicated to doing just that - doodling.
A number of community members let their creativity flow during
the ninety minute session with participant Trish Pottinger saying,
“It was great fun and it makes me feel more creative and
relaxed.” This statement reinforced the claim of workshop
facilitator and artist, Amanda Doust that “Doodling is fun, brings
joy and reduces stress levels.”

Make Tax Claims With Phone App
Craft Hut News
Federal Member for O’Connor Rick Wilson MP is encouraging
workers to tally work-related deductions using the
myDeductions tool within the ATO’s phone app.
The Craft Hut has been housing donations for the Bushfire
Appeal. Thank you to all those generous people who donated to
this cause. Please no more
“The 2015-16 financial year is going to be the first time
taxpayers can use the myDeductions tool to complete their
return,” Mr Wilson said.
We are taking what we have to Bunbury St Vinnies as they will
be dealing with all such donations from now on.
“In the 2014-15 financial year, 8.4 million individual taxpayers
claimed work-related expenses. Rather than storing the piles of
receipts at home, this is a great tool to ensure all work-related
expenses, including car trips and donations, are stored and
accounted for electronically. All work-related expenses in the
myDeductions tool can be uploaded when tax returns are being
filled in, or sent directly to the tax agent.”
There are three simple rules for workers to follow:
The money needs to be spent by them;
The expenses must be work-related; and
There must be a record to prove it.
We have our AGM coming up on March 3rd at 10am so if you
are wanting to join us this would be a great time to come along
and have your say in who the new committee members will be.
Our members have been busy since December, making bunting
for the Country Music Festival.
Some of our members will be going to Storm in a Teacup in
March and as usual we will be taking our stall along with many
of our craft items for sale.
We still meet every Monday and Thursday from 9:30am so
come along even if it’s just for a cuppa and chat and watch this
space for the exciting development of our new shed.
“While people incur different expenses during the year it is
important for taxpayers to check what they are entitled to,
based on the type of work they do,” he said.
For information call Margaret on 0429399739 or Mary-Anne on
97651149
“I encourage workers to download the ATO app and use the
myDeductions feature, if they haven’t already.”

Black Cockatoo Workshop
The Priority Bittern and Waterbird Biodiversity Enhancement
Project, coordinated by the Blackwood Basin Group (BBG),
recently ran a Black Cockatoo identification and information
workshop.
If anyone is interested in joining the Great Cocky Count go to
www.birdlife.org.au. Remember, local knowledge is critical in
increasing the knowledge of where these magnificent birds are.
The four year project, funded by the Australian Government,
aims to create a wetland haven at Schwenke’s Dam,
Greenbushes, to attract critically endangered waterbirds.
Cockatoo Workshop
The cockatoo workshop was a complete success. The morning
started off with the hint of rain making everyone a little nervous
about the bush walk, but the rain soon cleared leaving the keen
bird watches with the perfect weather to search for cockatoo
signs.
Tegan Douglas, the Forest Black Cockatoo Project Coordinator
from Birdlife Australia, showed everyone how to be bird
detectives out in the field and use the signs of scat, feeding,
and roosting to determine which cockatoo has been in the area.
After morning tea back in Greenbushes, Tegan took the group
through the more specific ways of telling the differences
between Baudin’s, Carnaby’s, and the Forest Red-Tailed Black
Cockatoos based on appearance and calls.

This project is supported by the Blackwood Basin Group, through
funding from the Australian Government.
“We are all set now to take part in the Great Cocky Count in
April, the biggest single survey for black-cockatoos in Western
Australia,” said Project Officer, Margaret Jakobson.

Garden Club Cuttings
Aged Care Improvement Grants
The Garden Club AGM was held on a very very hot
day at Lance and Margaret Hester’s , out at Norlup
on 9th Feb.
Up to $19 million will be made available to improve residential
aged care and dementia care in regional areas, thanks to the
Royalties for Regions funded Southern Inland Health
Initiative.
A good turnout of 25 or so members were there. We had an
earlier start time than usual 9am to beat the heat. Lance gave a
talk about the early years at the property, where Lance and
Margaret have lived for over 50 years.
Member for Warren-Blackwood Terry Redman, said the oneoff grants would help older people to remain living in their
communities.
There was much laughter when Lance retold stories about fixing
up the old homestead. A walk around the beautiful old garden
was then enjoyed by many, roses, lavender, daisies, wisteria
amongst the huge old trees and a cuppa and cake to finish.
“Grants will be made available to private and not-for-profit
organisations to enhance facilities and services which allow
aged residents to remain healthy and active members of
regional communities,” Mr Redman said.
Many thanks to Lance and Margaret, and also for the cold icy
water. Thanks must also go to Sue and Phyll for all your very
interesting outings and garden visits that you both have
arranged and Margaret for all the delicious cakes.
“It’s an important initiative from Royalties for Regions which
will go a long way towards keeping our aged residents in the
community and in an environment which is familiar and safe
to them, close to friends and family.”
Just a reminder that membership payment is due $20 single
and $30 couple.
Mr Redman said aged care would be a significant challenge
for Australia in the very near future.
Our next visit will be to the Ashbil Community Garden in
Bridgetown, meet at the Shire Hall at 9.15 to leave at 9.30am
Tuesday 8th March or make your own way there, Stewart St , at
the back of Scott’s Tavern. Please bring plants to swap, chair,
cup, friends and $2 for non-members.

“Within the next five years it’s estimated that18 per cent of
Australia’s population will be over the age of 65.
“The demands for aged care facilities and services will greatly
increase over the next decade as many older residents seek
to continue to live independently within their communities,” Mr
Redman said.
“For this to happen, it’s crucial that Government and the aged
care sector work together to invest in aged care initiatives,
especially in regional areas.”
Acting Regional Development Minister Mia Davies said it was
important to provide regional seniors with the opportunity to
remain in their communities as they age.
“The best residential aged care options are strengthened
through collaboration and therefore I encourage eligible
private providers to apply for these grants,” Ms Davies said.
Proposals which reflect contemporary aged care practices,
partnerships and investment beyond the allocated grant will
be considered favourably.
The grants are available in the Great Southern, Goldfields,
Mid-West, South West, and Wheatbelt.
Information about the grants can be accessed at
www.tenders.wa.gov.au.
The Southern Inland Health Initiative is transforming health
care in the State’s south, made possible by $500 million from
Royalties for Regions.

Mobile Black Spot Petition
Cocky Count Back for 2016
A Kojonup veterinarian is calling on Boyup Brook residents to
join her fight for increased funding to improve mobile phone
black spots after her partner was tragically killed.
The 2015 Great Cocky Count was a great success. It resulted in
us gaining an even better understanding of cockatoo numbers
across the southwest and identify important roosting habitat,
which helps us in planning for their recovery.
Katharine Marsh is spearheading a petition aimed at the
Federal government to increase mobile phone black spot
funding and commit to a deadline to rectify currently identified
locations.
“I am campaigning for this issue after my partner, Mick,
tragically passed away following a motorbike accident which
occurred in a mobile phone black spot, delaying emergency
assistance for 20 – 30 minutes,” Miss Marsh said.
“My experience is not an isolated incident - others have been
affected in a similar way. Recent bushfires in late 2015 - early
2016 have also highlighted the problems of mobile phone black
spots preventing access to emergency services.”
There are more than 6,000 nominated mobile phone black spots
throughout Australia, including near capital cities, along major
highways and transport routes and in whole towns and villages.
WA has 570 black spots registered.
Miss Marsh said where there is a black spot, there is no mobile
network coverage and emergency services like ‘000’ and
alternative numbers such as ‘112’ will not work.
“If you are faced with a life-threatening emergency and are in a
mobile phone black spot area you will not be able to obtain
emergency assistance. This could be the difference between
life and death,” Miss Marsh said.
We are excited to announce the eighth annual Great Cocky
Count is happening Sunday 3 April 2016!
The Great Cocky Count is an annual citizen science survey that
aims to count as many Black-Cockatoos as possible across WA
on a single night. Getting involved is easy – as a volunteer you
simply go to the roost location we allocate to you and count all
the cockatoos flying into their night-time roosting trees. The
survey only takes an hour, starting 30 minutes before sunset.
To register as a volunteer, go to the Great Cocky Count
Website and fill in the new online registration form or
downloadable version. Registrations close on Sunday 20
March.
Do you have a black cockatoo roost or nest site near you?
BirdLife are trying to locate more roost and nest sites across
WA, so please contact us at [email protected] to let us
know if you are aware of any near you.
More information about the Great Cocky Count and BirdLife’s
Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo Recovery Program is available at
http://birdlife.org.au/projects/southwest-black-cockatoorecovery/great-cocky-count-swbc
“The technology exists to eradicate mobile phone black spots –
it is simply a matter of further funding.”
The Federal Government has committed $160 million, with the
Round 2 locations expected to be announced at the end of this
year.
BOYUP BROOK
“After this current round, there are no further plans for funding
for mobile phone black spots, yet current funding is like to leave
at least 1,000 black spots still unaddressed,” Miss Marsh said.
NOW OPEN
SUNDAYS
“If mobile phone black spots in your area miss out this time
there is no guarantee as to when they will be resolved.”

Ready to Rally In The Valley
Group for Health Services
All of the participating venues are in place for the 2016 Rally in
the Valley and the organisers are looking forward to a fun event
for the whole family. The “Rally in the Valley” is a guided,
interactive self-drive tour of the of the region run throughout the
month of April. It features recommended stops of interest for
visitors and locals alike and offers excellent family-fun, a wide
range of diverse attractions and “pick-your-own” experiences.
The Blackwood District Health Advisory Council (DHAC) is a
group of committed volunteers, comprised of health consumers,
community members, and carers, who inform country health
services in the Blackwood district of the health and service
issues that are most important to the local community.
Take the whole month to complete the rally a section at a time or
spend a weekend touring the Blackwood River Valley, whatever
fits in with your plans. From Lake Towerrinning in the north to
Donnelly River Village in the south, east to Boyup Brook and
west to Sues Road, there are plenty of diverse attractions to
interest and inspire you. Scenery that ranges from the gently
rolling hills of farmland to the river and valleys that are “the
Blackwood”, historic towns with quirky and unique shops, and
cafes to be proud of that highlight our local produce, you will find
something for every member of the family or with friends.
Entry to the event this year is FREE and with a $700 total prize
pool, this a great opportunity to explore the Valley and put
yourself in the running to win.
Entry forms will be available from a number of outlets in the
Blackwood River Valley and from each of the Visitor Centres.
The second Rally is supported by the South West Development
Commission, the Donnybrook-Bridgetown Mail, the Shires of
Boyup Brook, Nannup and Donnybrook-Balingup and Australia’s
South West.
Partner with us and have a say about health issues in your
area.
If you have a suggestion about how your local health service
can make improvements or have concerns about the services
available in your town or district, have a chat to your local
DHAC Chairperson or members. We are here to advocate on
your behalf.
We are often looking for new members to ensure that as many
groups and individuals within our community are included in
conversations about health.

The Town Hall
The present town hall was built in Boyup Brook in 1936 the
same year as the Bank of New South Wales. Both were built by
the same contractor at the same time.
To celebrate the opening of the Town Hall a community concert
was organised, for the early part of the evening. Boyup always
had a wealth of talent, so there was an assured evening of
entertainment. I don’t know the names of the cast, but I do
recall my mother of whom her family were very proud was one
of the soloist, and teamed up with another lady in a duet. Later
years we learnt that ladies name was Dorrie Brooks, after an
opening ceremony and a gala ball. Myself and my siblings were
very young and left the venue before the festivities commenced.
However, the event was an occasion to be remembered for
many years by a lot of people.
Over the years many happy events have taken place at the hall,
and still are today. Although the hall was first opened it was
noted for the acoustics as being second to none of any hall of
that era in the area.
We are forever grateful to the civic minded forbears who were
responsible for the hall being built, remembering that we were
still trying to recover from one of the worst depressions in
history, and there was no grants or handouts like today. Also we
were only three years before World War II. The diligent handling
of finances during that time is a big credit to all concerned.
There are many events that have taken place in the hall over
the years, and on all occasions we have relied in local talent for
backup. To mention a few in my opinion doesn’t give fair
recognition to everyone who deserves it.
Some of the events over the years in the Town Hall:
Can anyone remember the West Australian Symphony
Orchestra visiting Boyup Brook?
The welcome home of World War II servicemen and women?
The War Efforts Queens. Each representing an organisation,
namely Show Queen (Val Smith), Flax Queen (Betty Forrest),
Sport Queen (Maisie Cummings)? Between them they raised
over six thousand pounds. A ball was held to celebrate the
occasion.
Then we had the Debutantes; The Apple Queen contestants
being selected to compete in the Apple Festivals, and the
contestants who were selected to enter for Miss Australia
Quests, to mention just a few.
I can’t recall how many years it was used as a picture theatre for
a weekly picture screening. Peggy Clancy looked after the ticket
sales, while Mrs Palmer ran the kiosk. In short the Town Hall
was the hub of social activity for as long as I can remember.
Perhaps one shouldn’t single out particular people for mention.
But during the war years we relied on a few people very much
as far as providing music for dancers, there was a local group
consisting of three pianists Josie Outridge (nee Barron), Rae
and Vivian Brooks. Mick Dryden played the drums, and Jim
Thompson, violin and between them they kept the crowd
hopping around on the dance floor on many occasions during
the dark years of the war.
We all know that there have been many celebrity people visit
and meet the people in the hall over the years, but no one can
over shadow the contributions of the local citizens. I am sure we
can all recall happy occasions of some sort. There have also
been some lively meetings, and also was the venue for the final
meeting winding up the affairs of the Flax Mill.
One of my earliest memories of a picture show in the hall
featured Shirley Temple, childhood film star, about eight years
old. She won the hearts of everyone with her tap dancing and
singing The Good Ship Lollipop. From the time she was in her
early twenties she entered the political world very successfully. I
dreamt that when I get to the Pearly Gates and she is not
waiting for me I am going to lodge a complaint.

Organic Garden Trail
Nine organic gardeners from across the Blackwood River
Valley met with Sharyn Carroll and Shelley Cullen, the
organisers of the Organic Garden Trail (Margaret River) to
investigate the formation of a Blackwood River Valley Organic
Garden Trail.
Anita Iuretich, of Forestview Farmstay, Bridgetown was the
first to put her hand up with the words “ I’m in”.
Facilitated by the Blackwood River Valley Marketing
Association Inc. (BRVMA), their committee is excited about the
prospect of an Organic Garden Trail being established in their
area.
“The promotional materials; website, pamphlets and signs
were excellent. I feel the trail would be a great addition to the
attractions in the Blackwood River Valley”.
A presentation to the gardeners present explained how the
garden trail worked, what support is given by the organisers
and what is expected of the gardeners involved.
Underlined was that organic gardens are not all the same, and
the trail can encompass permaculture gardens, commercial
properties, hobby farmers, organic orchards, parkland type
gardens, community gardens and anything in between.
Christine King of Greenbushes said she was impressed with
the organic garden trail presentation in Bridgetown.
Gardens from Nannup, Balingup, Boyup Brook, Greenbushes
and Bridgetown are required to build a comprehensive trail.
If you are interested in showcasing your organic garden, or
simply want more information, contact Sharyn Carroll on 0402
944 729 or visit the Organic Garden Trail website
www.organicgardentrail.com.au.
The only requirement being that all gardens are operated
under the organic gardening principle, but not necessarily
certified organic.
The gardeners who attended were enthusiastic in their support
of this idea and cannot wait to see the trail established. Adrian
Price of Boyup Brook said that it was of great value to meet
and chat with others wishing to promote chemical free food
production.

Be Still and Know….. God
Learn to Say 'Enough!'
'After He had dismissed them, He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray.' Mathew 14:23
Jesus dismissed a crowd of listeners and fans in order to spend
time with His Father in prayer. As a result, when He returned to
the crowd He was empowered to work miracles.
Every situation that arises doesn’t warrant your attention! Was
Jesus misunderstood when He dismissed the crowd? Probably.
And you’ll have to make that same decision too.
Think about it; before an airliner takes off, the attendant tells you
that if the plane gets into trouble you should secure your own
oxygen mask before attempting to help others with theirs. After
all, unless you’re getting enough oxygen, how can you help
them?
People who don’t recognise your needs and respect your goals
will drain you, divert you, and keep you grounded.
So, are your own needs being met? If not, it’s time to start
taking care of yourself before you burn out. You can’t travel
quietly through life hoping people will recognise when your plate
is full. Speak up, or they’ll just keep pouring on more problems
and responsibilities. Personal empowerment begins by taking
control of your life.

this daily word may be obtained from UCB Australia; freecall 1800 00 777,
email [email protected]. Online version: www.thewordfortoday.com.au
Overloaded people fail at marriage, ministry and management.
They fail at parenting, partnership and personal endeavours.
So what’s the answer? Give what you can, and learn when to
say ‘enough!’
Coming together is a beginning;
Like an airplane, if you carry too much baggage you won’t get
off the ground.
When you’re motivated by the need to please others or impress
them, you’ll take on too much and fail to reach the heights God
planned for you. Or you’ll crash because you ignored your
limitations.
keeping together is progress;
working together is success.

'Hector' Film Screening
Live Performance by Emily Barker
We are excited to bring the feature film 'Hector' to Bridgetown.
Hector is a UK full length feature film directed by Jake Gavin
making his debut in the industry. The musical score for the film
is composed by Emily Barker, also making her debut as a
composer in film.
“I am really excited to bring this film to my home town,
Bridgetown and to play a live set including songs that I wrote for
the film. The film is really touching and after reading the script, I
wrote three songs immediately – before I'd seen any footage
whatsoever! I am looking forward to sharing them with
you.” [Emily]
'Hector' stars Peter Mullan as Hector McAdam, also starring
Keith Allan and Sarah Solemani.
The film is about family, friendship and human compassion.
Hector embarks on his annual pilgrimage from Scotland to a
London shelter for the homeless, to share Christmas with some
of the friends he has made over the years. Aware that this may
be his last journey, Hector agrees to reconnect with his past and
reunite with those he left behind.
Audiences responded with both laughter and tears when the film
received its world premier at the 2015 Edinburgh International
Film Festival. It has gained critical acclaim in the UK since its
release.
The film will shown on a BIG full size cinema screen with full
sound at the Bridgetown Town Hall on Sunday 13th March @
6pm.Emily will perform live prior to the commencement of the
film. A Q&A session with Emily is scheduled after the film.
There will be a bar for refreshments and supper for a $5
donation to Save the Children Aust – Somalia Fund
It promises to be a fabulous night!. Tickets are $30 pp and can
be purchased on-line from www.tugg.com/events/92138. For
further enquiries please contact Ingrid on 0432 105 754.

Tennis Tales
The Championship Mixed Doubles event, sponsored by local
accountants MacNeils, was held in very hot conditions on
Saturday, February 27.
Eight pairs contested the event with the winners being John and
Julie Robinson who defeated Craig and Jodi Nield (pictured
below) in a match tiebreak after they reached one set all.
Winners of the plate were Sharon Nield and Mal Prosser.
A great day of tennis was followed by refreshments and pizza.
The annual Boyup Brook Open Tournament will be conducted
on March 5 and 6 and has attracted almost 100 players.
The event caters for all ages and abilities from Under 10s to
SuperVeterans and everyone in between.
A highlight is the large number of Boyup Brook junior members
who have entered the Tournament, many for the first time,
which is a reflection on the investment the Club has made into
the junior program through professional coaching.
The courts are looking a picture, thanks to the fantastic efforts
of the Shire Works team and our visitors are in for a great
weekend of tennis in a social atmosphere.
The weekend following the Tournament will see another event
with a long standing history, the Loving Cup. This event sees
partners off the court pair up on the court and this year, the
Tennis Club is inviting former members to join in the fun.
The Loving Cup will be played on March 12 with matches
commencing at 2pm. If you would like to participate, please
RSVP to Club Captain, John Robinson (0409 104 303) by
Wednesday, 9 March. We also encourage everyone to wear
red or pink on the day. After all, every tennis match begins with
love.
