Walpole’s Skate Park is now a reality …
Dateline 2000 – The Community Opportunity Workshop Outcomes lists
the construction of a Skate Park in Walpole as being an identified need
for the youth of the day, who had very limited recreational activities
and even fewer facilities. Since that time the project has been
primarily driven by the Shire of Manjimup in enlisting the support and
cooperation of the various Rec Centre Managers and Walpole Youth
Group Coordinator’s to progress the concept further. Various grants
were successful in working towards the overall cost of such a
facility. Various ideas and plans were considered. Once it was
decided that the most trouble free and streamlined approach to the
project would be to build a new skate park, the road forward became
clear.
Dateline September 2011 – Manjimup Shire received $31,418 for its
Walpole Skate Park development.
Dateline September 2012 Lotterywest donated a further $91,582 towards
the development.
Above: Reg Clark
Dateline April 2013 and Walpole Skate Park’s construction is finally
underway. The ground breaking took place early in the month and the Below: Todd Brown
crew from Convic Skateparks and the Shire of Manjimup worked
seamlessly together to bring this project to completion.
Dateline May 2013 and the project is completed – except for signage and
an official opening which are both still to come.
The $162,000 project was designed in consultation with Walpole young people
and the broader community. The location east of the existing cricket nets at
the Walpole Oval seeks to maximize shade from the trees on site and will also
see the relocation of the basketball half court. It has been a long process, from
identifying the need to choosing the location, bringing in the soil and concrete
as well as hiring the right experts for the job.
Unfortunately many of the youths who helped get the project onto the Shire’s
radar have since left the district however some have returned to the district and
when asked for a comment they had this to say;
Alicia Johnson, “ It’s great to see that after many, many years of hard work the
skate park has come to fruition. It is also great to know that you can make a
contribution to the community and although it has taken a long time it has
been appreciated..”
Ariana Svenson, “Many different people been involved, most of the kids involved in the initial stages are well
and truly adults now. I hope the young people of today appreciate all the hard work that goes into getting assets
such as the skate park.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Graffitti = Vandalism
To the Community,
After wanting a skate park and then defacing
it I'm truly sorry for my actions regarding
the graffiti .
I have let down my family, myself and
others and I am embarrassed by it.
I would like to thank the local police for
their guidance in helping us clean it off.
Name withheld by request.
Mel Burke and Graham Hawkins
are pleased to announce the arrival of
Koby Laurence Hawkins
On the 5th May, weighing 8lb 14oz.
Such a shame. And within 24 hours of the completion
of laying the concrete.
The Ficifolia Community Garden wall, the rear wall of
the brick toilet block nearest the Skate Park and the
new Skate Park itself were defaced with spray paint
late last week.
This act of vandalism was brought to the attention of
Sergeant Clifford at his home, by the parent of one of
the three offending children. This parent felt quite
strongly about their child’s involvement. All parents,
together with the Police cleaned up the graffiti. All
three children have been formally cautioned for their
actions.
A number of local residents have expressed
disappointment that such a senseless act occurred in
our town, proving that even though Walpole is a
proudly litter free, community focused township it
cannot be taken for granted that the children of the
district are like minded. Therein
lies the opportunity to harness all
this youthful energy in a more
positive manner to benefit the
community in its quest to
maintain such high standards of
appearance.
Chef Heston Blumenthal is heading back to WA
Just minutes before two of his British restaurants were named among the world's top 50 at
a prestigious annual event in London on Monday, Blumenthal confirmed he would attend
this year's Margaret River Gourmet Escape. "Yes, we're coming to Western Australia and we can't wait," he told The West Australian. "We always hear so many great things
about Margaret River. "It was most unfortunate we couldn't make it last year."
Blumenthal, arguably the most recognised chef in the world, was one of the headline
attractions at last year's event, but was forced to withdraw after two of his top chefs were
killed in a traffic accident in Hong Kong. Like last year, Blumenthal plans to spend a few
extra days in WA - on either side of the Margaret River festivities - with other members
of his family, including mother Celia. "Mum loves Australia so I guess she'll be coming
along," he said.

Jarrah Glen's Home Open
Despite the cold and gloomy afternoon of Saturday April 27th,
there was lots of chat and the opening and closing of cupboards
and drawers. More than 35 locals took the opportunity to inspect
what the Retirement Village has to offer at Unit 6 and to wander
around the entire complex. It is early days yet as most of the
finishing touches are still to be done and the landscaping
installed. However there were
lots of positive comments
about the spacious and
comfortable units. The muted
colour scheme impressed
people and the state of the art
appliances were noted with
approval. Committee members
were kept busy responding to
questions relating to the
leasehold arrangements and
written information was
provided to those who wanted
to study the detail.
Chairperson Rodney Burton said it was really pleasing to see so
many people coming to have a look at the project that they have
supported for so many years. It is exciting to see the project close to
completion.

New edition Directory ready to hit the presses…
The Community and Business Directory of Walpole and Districts 2013 edition is
almost complete, with just a few final minor adjustments to be made. Printing is
scheduled to begin within the week, with copies available to the public from around
16th May onwards.
The Community Directory as it has become known is the initiative of Walpole
Community Resource Centre and 2013 edition is the sixth consecutive year the
directory has been published.
CRC people Hilary Mayger and Lorraine Cooper have once again managed the
entire current production—chasing up advertisers, checking currency of details,
updating the personal contacts section , offering space to new enterprises—all to
ensure that the information contained therein is accurate and informative and is a
good representation of the many and varied services and facilities that are available
to the community.
As in past years the cover has depicted copies of works by local artists and this year
is no exception. Debbie Clark’s vibrant water colour of a local coastline scene sets
off the front cover, making it easy to spot. Centrefold this year has been allocated to
the Walpole Yacht Club’s “In the Trees Regatta” featuring photos highlighting the
weekend event earlier in the year.
All in all, it is promising once again, to be a “must have” resource to keep close at
hand either at work or at home. Revenue from the production has allowed the
directories to be provided free of charge to each residence and business in the
district. Additional copies will be available at a cost of $5.50 each from the Walpole
CRC.

be re invested in the $21 million superdraw Saturday
11th May or can be picked up from Walpole Quality
Meats. For those interested the odds to win Division 1
are Powerball-1 in 76,767,600 and Saturday Lotto-1 in
8,145,060. If there is enough public interest this can
become a regular thing. Expressions of interest should

The incident occurred while the man's wife and
brother-in-law were watching on.
A bystander attempted to throw a flotation device
to the man but it did not work.
The man had died and was washed up on a reef
by the time rescuers could get to him.
Sadly the message of coastal safety is not getting
through. Despite the many news articles and
warning signs fishers continue to put their lives at
risk, by fishing at this location.
In 2009 as a memorial to Nathan Drew a Silent

Pink Ribbon raffle
finally resolved
At the 2012 Pink Ribbon Breakfast,
hosted by Walpole CRC and held in
the Walpole Community Centre, there
were a number of prizes—totaling
around 16 or so—that had been
donated to help raise funds for this
very worthy cause. In fact, the dollars raised by this
event helped take the overall monies raised since the
event began back in 2005, to over $10,000, which is no
mean feat from such a small community.
The first prize in the raffle was accommodation for two
nights in the Barnhouse at Tree Elle Resort in Bow
Bridge, kindly donated by owner/operators Kim and
Peter. Walpole’s own Michael Filby was the lucky
winner who generously donated the prize for the use by
someone suffering from Breast Cancer and in need of a
break away.
Enlisting the assistance of Helen Rawlins of Walpole
Silver Chain it transpired that no-one was identified or
available to take up the offer. So the quest recently
went in another direction. Just last week it was
confirmed a family from Boyup Brook , whose wife
and mother is a Breast Cancer sufferer will be very
happy to accept the offer. Arrangements are in hand to
confirm the booking.
Thankyou, Michael, for your generosity.

The Munda Biddi Trail offers a long distance cycle
touring experience, stretching between Mundaring, near
Perth, and Albany on the South Coast. Cyclists can
experience the best the south west has to offer by bike,
including stunning scenery, tall trees, the Walpole
Wilderness, and delicious local culinary delights like
truffle and local wines.
One of the highlights of riding on the Munda Biddi
Trail on the South Coast is the occasional opportunity to
visit its wild blue ocean and stunning beaches. Those
internationally renowned Greens Pool is one of the
examples. “Identifying a safe alignment to create the link
to William Bay National Park was one of the great project
challenges experienced by staff” says Kerstin Stender,
project coordinator with the Department of Environment
and Conservation. “It was only when the Birkbeck family
offered to donate two parcels of land that this section of
trail was made possible.”
The vital link, to be known as “Raintree Link”,
represents a connection that has allowed the Munda Biddi
Trail to pass through William Bay National Park, past the
famous Greens Pool and linking with Lights Beach. This
also provides a ’loop trail' from Denmark via the Munda
Biddi Trail and Heritage Rail Trail. The land will be
donated to the Shire of Denmark, who will permit DEC
use of the land for the purpose of the Munda Biddi Trail.
“The vision for this was provided to our family by John
Sampson and our local shire. We are glad that we can do
something that is appreciated” outlined Steve Birkbeck.
Other supporters of the trail construction in this area
wasthe Great Southern Development Commission, who
provided funding through the Royalties for Regions
Scheme, and the Denmark Shire who kindly permitted the
use of their land for the Trail.
“This new section of the Munda Biddi Trail extends
the local riding opportunities and will be an attraction in
itself for tourists from all over the world” Ms Stender
stated. With the future addition of the proposed WOW
trail between Ocean Beach and Lights Beach this section
of trail between Denmark and William Bay National Park
will offer an amazing off-road cycling experience.

Edward Roocke’s epic adventure
Congratulations to Edward Roocke and nine other youths from all
over West Australia who have just completed an epic adventure with
Outward Bound Australia. As part of Outward Bound’s twelve day
Navigator program Ed and his team overcame challenges including
six days of hiking, three days of rafting across the beautiful Nornalup
and Broke Inlets, a high ropes course and just trying to stay
warm and dry amidst the heavy rain that we had last week!
Along the way the group were pushed to their physical and
mental limits and all rose to the challenges that were thrown at
them, discovering new strengths within themselves. The
Navigator course is run for 15-17 year olds in each Autumn
and Spring, Ed was able to attend with the support of the
Plantagenet Financial Services, the Walpole Op Shop and the
Outward Bound Community Day. Stay tuned next week for
Ed’s report on his experience.

Walpole Wallopers !
Police News
May 2013
Welcome to Walpole Wallopers. School is back. Time to watch the School Speed
Zones and children on the street !
Thank you
To our volunteer ambulance officers who were dragged away from the ANZAC day
parade to look for the victim of a car & jet ski crash. Unfortunately the young men
involved thought it was more important to call their insurance broker and go surfing for 6
hours than to contact the local Police to report the crash. Police issued the driver of the
vehicle infringements for having bald tyres and insufficient lights on the trailer (There was no
light plug fitted to the car at all !)
Sorry !
I am sorry that Walpole Police were unable to attend the dawn service in Peaceful Bay and
the service in Walpole as promised. Next year we will hopefully be in attendance.
April 2013
Police attended 18 complaints during April and could not attend the ANZAC services due to
the crash on ANZAC day and two charming individuals that came to Walpole on the 24th of
April.
With some timely information from the ladies at a local business police arrested a man and
woman from Bridgetown/Greenbushes outside the Post Office.
These charming individuals had gone on a mini crime spree shoplifting from the IGA, Visitors
Centre and the Pharmacy. After arresting them they were found to be in possession of drugs
and items including a balaclava, torch, screwdrivers, hammer and other goodies you might
need at night to reek havoc on our lovely town. Walpole Police ruined their planned further
activities for our town and sent them packing !
Charges preferred for April 2013
1 x Driving in Excess of .05 (FLORIDA resident who almost hit the Police car at 1.00 pm
in the afternoon ! It was an unlucky day for the US of A !)
2 x No Authority to Drive & Vehicles Seizures (Bunbury & Denmark residents)
3x Stealing (Green Bushes/Bridgetown residents)
6 x Possession of Cannabis & Smoking Implements. (Rocky Gully, Perth & Bridgetown)
1 x Aggravated Unlawful Wounding (Stabbing) Southern Cross resident for a stabbing in
Southern Cross. (She came to town and we arrested her after finding out she was
here.)
1 x Possession of Morphine. (Bridgetown)
If you lawfully receive prescription drugs and sell or give them away for someone
else’s use you commit an offence. The person using them commits an offence.
I am aware that this currently goes on in Walpole !!

Last week saw the Riverside
Ladies Darts Club’s annual triples
championships.
All players are drawn at random to
make teams of three and a round
robin playoff determines the finalists. Certainly a
marathon night– the grand final finished at 1am!
Congratulations to the winning team, consisting of
Linda Beard, Michelle Whitehead and Sharman
Symes.
KidSport enables Western Australian children to
participate in community sport and recreation, no
matter their financial circumstances. Eligible youth
aged 5–18 years can apply for financial assistance to
contribute towards club fees. The fees will go directly
to the registered KidSport clubs through their
participating local government. While the primary
objective of KidSport is to ensure all Western
Australian children can participate in sport and
recreation clubs, its secondary objective is to engage
these children and their families in the community.
Applications can be made through all clubs.
Many Walpole families have already received
assistance from this scheme.

Football Report
Denmark–Walpole Magpies
played North Albany Kangas at
Collingwood Park on Sunday.
Kangas league were quick to
give themselves a handy lead.
By half time they were in front
by 6 goals. This did not stop the Magpies, they
fought back, but it was not enough to win.
The reserves almost made it over the winning line,
only one point being the difference.
The return of the U15s, U13s and U11s is this
weekend. Denmark-Walpole plays Railways at
home—McLean Oval, Denmark.

President’s
Message
(FACET) conference was recently held in
Manjimup the Forum Advocating Cultural
and Eco Tourism. The theme of the
conference was Culinary Journeys - All
the Tourism Ingredients. The aim of the
conference was to provide an opportunity
to bring together tourism, agriculture and
marketing minds from different areas to
examine issues and identify ways of
capitalising on the strong link between
tourism and food to create a strong
destination.
A conference “white paper” has been
produced to provide future guidance to
decision makers. I would like to thank all
involved in organising and attending the
conference.
Council will be meeting next in Walpole
on 30 May 2013. I encourage you to
attend and discuss any matter with your
Council.
