BEVERLEY BLARNEY Edition 367 May 2015 No Charge ANZAC Day Commemorations in Beverley At 4.59am in the pre-dawn, light a horse and rider and riderless pony moved slowly down the road at the side of the Cenotaph. The Beverley Pony Club evoked memories of those who enlisted in 1914 to 1918 and formed what became the 10th Light Horse Regiment. This signalled the commencement of 50 minutes of audio visual presentations expertly compiled by Steve Ramm. One screen showing film footage of various battles and scenes from Gallipoli to Vietnam and the other commemorating the Australian lives lost in all combat and peacekeeping missions since white settlement in this country. At 5.30am there was a brief delay while a train passed though the station precinct, which gave some of the estimated 500 attending a memory that our troops left the town by train to travel to the muster point at Blackboy Hill in Guildford. As these screens faded into the simple words “Lest We Forget”, Phil Richardson as a lone piper started playing in the car park next to the Station and then led the marchers to their mark at the Cenotaph – next to the Jeep provided as a static display by Neil Jefferson. Mr Bruce Mann read several excerpts from his Grandfather’s Gallipoli diary which recorded the actual experiences of one who served in that theatre of war. With all that had been experienced, in almost complete stillness in the hour preceding, the Last Post, the Silence, the Ode and Reveille were even more moving than usual. Flags were flown on three flag poles this year, remembering Australian and New Zealand forces and for the first time the Aboriginal Flag was flown at the special request of the National RSL and Department of Veteran’s Affairs that these service men and women be especially acknowledged this year. Following playing of Kelly Newton-Wordsworth’s singing “Lest We Forget”, our piper again played to lead our marchers and members of the public to the RSL Hall for a Gunfire Breakfast wonderfully catered by the RSL Social Committee. At 11am saw around 400 gathered to see the Veterans Parade led again by Phil Richardson on bagpipes. Mrs Joan McQuin, Student Leaders from Beverley High School, Beverley Station Arts Choir accompanied by Mrs Judith Moulton, Irene Oram representing the RSL, all ably guided by Mr John Lane as Master of Ceremonies, provided a moving service of commemoration. Wreaths were laid by local organisations and members of the public in remembrance of family who served. Images from the Dawn Service compliments of Colleen Sleer Photography www.beverley.wa.gov.au Many people in the Beverley community contributed to the success of these commemorations – too many to mention here, but you all know who you are. The Beverley Sub-Branch of the Returned and Services League extends sincere appreciation to you all for the success of this commemoration.

The group has collated information and memorabilia into an exhibition at the Dead Finish Museum which runs until September and I encourage everyone to make time to visit the museum and learn about this period of Beverley’s history. ANZAC in Beverley ANZAC commemorations in Beverley were held with ceremonies and services in various locations which have included the school, town centre, sporting events and a special predawn video presentation at the cenotaph. The “Remembering Them Exhibition”, floral tributes and banners in the Main Street provide ongoing observances. Delys, Joyce and Pat again prepared a wreath which was laid on behalf of the Shire and Citizens of Beverley by Cr Murray at the town service. UWA Student Visit Following on from the UWA School of Population visit to Beverley during March, the students are planning a second visit to Beverley on Monday 11th May. This visit will only involve those members of the community who are contacted personally by the students. We look forward to the outcome of their study of Beverley and any possibilities they may see for future tourism planning. Wheatbelt Tour With Councils’ application to the Federal National Stronger Regions Infrastructure Fund pending, a delegation of Councillors and Staff has undertaken a Wheatbelt tour to better inform the process of moving the proposed Multipurpose Community Centre concept plans to working drawings. Also inspected were various new swimming pool complexes. With our aging pool infrastructure this is potentially an exciting future project for our community. A visit to Slater homestead in Goomalling on the first morning provided an unplanned outcome which saw delegates continuing to observe and discuss heritage interpretation throughout the trip. Congratulations to staff on their organisation to facilitate so much into the two (tiring!) days. Easter in Beverley Beverley once again had hundreds of visitors over the Easter break. Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved with the bustling weekend.

Beverley Blarney, Edition 367 – May 2015 9 As usual Mitch, Kath, Rachel and also Kia and young Erin have been keeping both the horses amused and intrigued with lots of fun activities and educational workouts. And of course lots of apples and left over carrots from all the workers (these two have sure been spoilt and loved every minute of it). Hi All Well by the time you all read this the historic stables here at Avondale would have had a huge facelift by scoring a new roof. The old lab office will have new guttering as well. The stables look fantastic with all the wood getting a bit of TLC as well. Comet and Robbie would like to thank the guys from Applied Building Conservation Training who came all the way from South Australia for this job and to the work team from Wooroloo Prison your work is highly appreciated. And the boys love the new upgrades to their stables. They think I need to send them a bag of carrots as a thank you gift, I’m thinking maybe a carrot cake instead. During April we saw Avondale Farm open again to the public with 2 open weekends, it was good to see lots of kids running around and having a peek in the animal nursery and families enjoying the facilities. Massive thanks to Bronwyn Nutting and Mark Atkinson from Alnwick Clydesdales for bringing over Mikayla and Lady on Easter Monday your jokes and educational lessons are highly valuable to us all. Well that’s all for now we hope people come out during the open weekends to take a look at the stable upgrades as I’m sure you will all be impressed. Many thanks all Mon The End of Day 1 saw the Main Roof of the silo side being removed The End of Day 2 saw the Main roof of the lake side The End of Day 3 Lake Side removed This month also saw changes to the AFPA committee (Avondale Farm Project Association) I would like to say a massive thanks to Mrs Sue Martin who stepped down as the AFPA President. Robbie, Comet and I thank you for all your hard work in supporting Avondale and hope to see you around still in the future. The boys would love to say a big welcome to Mrs Jo Johnson who took over as the new president of this wonderful organisation and hope you enjoy the position. Also welcome to the new committee. If you would like to join or become involved we would love to see more new faces about. Avondale Farm 555 Waterhatch Road Beverley WA 6304 Travelling Overseas or around Australia?

Then the challenge will be to make something from the dyed fabric using our cutting machine. With this we can cut many different shapes which can then be used to make a block. This is only limited by our imagination. Hopefully some of the results can be published in the next Blarney. Three ladies went along to the Friendship Day at Baskerville on Saturday April 18th, where they all enjoyed many things about the day. It was reported how lovely and plentiful was the food for morning and afternoon tea. There were many items shown for the 'show and tell' segment of the day, where people can show their skills and share ideas with others.

Quilters can never have TOO MUCH fabric. Our passion is to take a perfectly good piece of fabric, cut it up into pieces and stitch it up again!

The launch of our WWI exhibition went very well. Unfortunately, some of the Perth people were unable to attend. We held the launch outdoors and it was a lovely afternoon weather wise. Hon. Mia Davies MLA gave a very nice speech as did Shire President Dee Ridgway. Dee officially opened the exhibition for us. Thanks go to Dee, Mia and also to Shire CEO Steve Gollan for his attendance. Over Easter we had a lot of visitors to view the exhibition. Most of them also took the opportunity to look around the rest of the museum. All the comments have been very favourable. Because there is plenty to read, some people have said that they will be back as it is too much to absorb in one visit. The HACC ladies and men come for a visit. Also a small bus group of pensioners/seniors from Pingelly. Thanks must go to the ladies of the Garden Club for the clean up they did in the Dead Finish garden. It was a job well done. We know there were only a few of you that turned up to do the work. It is a credit to you. The Dead Finish Museum is located on the corner of Morrison Street and Hunt Road and is open on Sundays 11.00am - 3.00pm. On other days it is open by request.

Easter weekend certainly saw our little town bulging at the seams and a good time was had by all. Not to mention the money raised for various local activities and projects. Just as a by the way, the sight that gave me the most pleasure was to drive past the recreation grounds very early on Sunday and seeing several little children playing tennis in bare feet and their pyjamas. As I type this article the rain is falling, albeit lightly, so the planting season is with us. All brassicas (cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower) broad beans, peas, mustards, onions and spinach can go in now. Remember to feed the bed before you put in your plants. It is also time to think of what can be coddled for the Show in August. The theme is sustainability so tough things will be better.

The email started circulating around Australia in 2009 and tells consumers that mobile numbers will shortly be made public and that you will be charged for telemarketing calls that you receive. Although the message refers to the Australian Do Not Call Register, the email appears to have originated from North America a number of years ago. The reference to being charged for receiving calls arises from a different charging regime in the USA where mobile phone users are often charged for calls that they receive. This charging regime does not apply in Australia. The Do Not Call Register provides Australians with the ability to opt out of receiving most unsolicited telemarketing calls, and marketing faxes. Australians can put their telephone or fax numbers on the: Do Not Call Register at www.donotcall.gov.au or by calling 1300 792 958. This is for Australian phone numbers. The Australian Do Not Call Register has strong mechanisms to protect the privacy of registrants. Telemarketers and Fax marketers are only able to check whether a telephone number they wish to call or fax is registered or not. Registered numbers are never directly provided. Telemarketers and Fax marketers that make calls or send faxes to numbers on the Do Not Call Register face significant financial penalties. A version of the email is reproduced REMEMBER: Mobile Phone Numbers Go Public next month. REMINDER...all mobile phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS Below is a link where you can enter your phone numbers online to put an end to telemarketing calls. Don’t just delete those calls otherwise you will find that you have been signed up for all sorts of extra services that you didn’t want or know about. Like special chimes, music etc. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK THAT IS DISPLAYED AT THE END OF THIS EMAIL!!! as displayed on the right 16 Beverley Blarney, Edition 367 – May 2015 www.beverley.wa.gov.au 132 Vincent Street, Beverley P: 9646 1600 F: 9646 1295 E: [email protected] W: www.beverley.crc.net.au OPENING HOURS: 8.30am - 4.00pm CRC NEWS The renovations are complete and we are settling back in, and the floors look and feel great!

To add to the festival atmosphere of Easter in Beverley, the 47th Annual Art Purchase Exhibition succeeded in having a frenzy of eager buyers coming and going the Town Hall with the amazing total of 58 works sold. This year's head judge Anne Errey was joined by Jennifer Sadler who were suitably impressed to be part of such a well organised exhibition. To quote from an email following the judging from Anne: ‘Your enterprise should be winning accolades for not-for-profit business or whatever category it would fit.’ The official wine and cheese opening attracted a good crowd who were treated to words by Anne Erre, a professional artist across many platforms with a lifetime of curatorial and tertiary educational experience. To add to the Shire Collection the Gallery purchased the inaugural Beverley Art Prize painting – an exquisite acrylic work by Christine Baker titled ‘Requium’ which is on display at the Shire for those wishing to see. ‘Man’s Best Friend’ painted by Jos Coufreur was the outright winner of the popular vote (public choice) award. Thankyou To all our sponsors as without you we couldn’t present such substantial prizes to attract the calibre of artists we have come to expect. To all who visited the Exhibition whether buying art or merely appreciating it, you make all the hard work worthwhile. To the Art Gallery Committee (in particular Kathryn McLean as secretary and also Amanda McLean as treasurer) and our many helpers who so willingly set up the lights and stands, unpacked the paintings and helped with the hanging, decorated the hall with flowers, worked the sound system, man the exhibition, and then packed it all up again, THANK YOU. Easter Art Raffle The lovely oil painting donated by Pat Lane (Best Local Artist 2014) and framed by Chris and Ruth Baker of York was won by Denise Strange. Now, as Marion Alexander has won the prize of best Local artist 2015 we look forward seeing a painting by her to raffle at next year’s exhibition. Congratulations Marion! A full report of exhibition winners is included elsewhere in this edition of the Blarney. Artist-in-Residence Luis Fuentes was so thrilled with his time spent in Beverley that it has reaffirmed his desire to migrate to Western Australia. His residency culminated in farewell drinks at East End Studio where Luis had spent the month of April painting madly to replace the paintings he sold at the Easter Exhibition. The free space in Marlene’s shop/studio was warmly welcomed and we thank Marlene again for her generosity. 18 Beverley Blarney, Edition 367 – May 2015 www.beverley.wa.gov.au We are hoping that the necessary restorations to the Station building will be completed during the winter months and the Artist-in-Residency programme can resume as was before the building was closed last year. Meanwhile, we welcome back Charlotte O’Shea who is about to commence the Artist-in-Residency Grants Programme at the Beverley School for all of terms two and three. Charlotte will be residing at the Shire house in Dawson Street for two nights per week, and Mandy Evans has decided to come back to town and share the accommodation, and is happy to paint again in the greenroom of the Platform Theatre and welcomes anyone wishing to see her work or just wanting to say hello.

Then Kelly Newton-Wordsworth played guitar and sang her own song Wings of the Night’ during signing of the register in the gazebo, and finally, the singers joined Kelly with the jaunty ‘Irish Blessing’ as the newly-weds joined their family and friends. Great stuff! Our next ‘gig’ will be singing at the Anzac Day service. Kelly will not be joining the rest of the singers as she has been invited to perform at the Supreme Court Gardens on Anzac Day singing her balled ’Lest We Forget’. She will be supported by a 100-strong choir under the direction of Perth Modern School choral conductor Celia Christmass. We are indeed privileged to have Kelly work with our group on a monthly basis. Anyone interested in joining the singing group contact Tracey Fleay- Mob: 0409 481 029 or E: [email protected] www.beverley.wa.gov.au Beverley Blarney, Edition 367 – May 2015 19 Platform Theatre On Tuesday 11th April Beverley Station Arts was fortunate to obtain the services of garden guru Sabrina Hahn to give her expert advice on the type of trees best suited to shade the Platform Theatre. This has been a rather drawn out process of deciding where and what to plant and we are now able to go ahead planting. Many thanks to the Pepper family for allowing some planting on their side of the fence. There’s nothing really to report this month regarding events the Platform Theatre, however, there was an event at the Station that deserves space – that of the wedding ceremony of my daughter Louise Broun to Chad Atkinson on Saturday 18th April. It was a lovely ceremony on the most perfect day with the Station Singers filling the air with their sound from gazebo/bandstand. I wish to thank wholeheartedly the singers for giving up their time to perform, and the efforts of both Steve Ramm and Tim Kilpatrick for their expertise in producing such sound, and also, a special mention to Valda Morton and Sandy Shaw for maintaining the garden during the summer months to be at its ultimate beauty for the wedding. Thank you all again. These images have been provided by Jill Broun. The next event at the Platform Theatre will not be until the afternoon of Saturday 12th September when we host the annual Country Choir Bash. Calendar of Events: September: Saturday 12th – Country Choir Bash November: Saturday 7th – Rolling Stones and Rock Montage Tribute December Saturday 19th Family Christmas Concert If you would like to be included on the email list for notification of coming events (so you can forward to friends), email secretary Sarah Miller [email protected] Beverley Station Arts Membership To become a member of Beverley Station Arts Inc (Friend of the Station) please see Treasurer Pauline at the Newsagency, phone 96461042.

The darker mornings and shorter days can make it difficult to stay motivated; a task list can help combat this by allowing you to plan what to do first. If you are in an area which has received germinating rainfalls, make sure you are ready to control your weeds. Targeting weeds when they are small makes them easier and cheaper to remove or chemically control. If relying on herbicide to control weeds, remember to always read labels and consider whether you need to change the herbicide to prevent chemical resistance. Check fences to ensure they are in good condition especially if you are expecting lambs or other newborn stock. By fixing or replacing damaged fences you will ensure your animals don’t escape. Remember any animals born on your property need to be correctly identified. Cattle born on your property need a white NLIS tag before leaving for the saleyards, as well as a brand or earmark and a waybill. Lambs need to have a sky blue ear tag. Be organised to avoid having animals returned. For help, call the Department of Agriculture and Food Brands Office on 9780 6207. Cooler weather and new growth can see a significant rise in pest insects. Keep a very close eye on newly germinating pastures and crops and be prepared to control insects (like Red Legged Earth Mite (RLEM)) or they can destroy the tiny new seedlings. Autumn is a key time for nutrient uptake for avocados as the root system is very strong and preparing the tree for winter and the development of flowers for the spring fruit set. This is also a good time to collect your leaves for nutrient analysis. Max Hunter’s Firewood Supplies Ph: 96461 236 The Jarrah Bush Wood is sold by the tonne. Delivered in truck or trailer loads. Pick last crops of pumpkins and sweet potatoes and store undercover. Cut pumpkin stem longer then 10cm as they will store for longer. Also pick last crops of capsicums, eggplants, tomatoes and zucchini. Pick and process olives. Prepare your veggie patch for next season’s plants by replacing nutrients. A good quality manure should be incorporated into the soil. After cool damp nights or following rainfall check for snails, if you don’t want to use pellets you can make homemade beer traps. If you didn’t make it to one of the events we attended in April, you can find us at the Gidgegannup Small Farm Field Day on the 24th May.

This is an original recipe from the Middle East. You can use it for meat, kebabs, you can use it for marinades, just add a tea spoon to your dressings and if you are really loooving your garlic, eat it on a piece of your Sourdough Rye Bread. This is a threat and can bring tears to your eyes. This might be for the joy to be alive or because it is really strong. Garlic Sauce – toom or toum (this is the Arabic Word for garlic.) Ingredients: 1 cup of peeled garlic ¼ tsp. salt Juice of one lemon 1 ¼ cup of olive oil Peel 1 cup of garlic, make sure there are no green shoots inside, they need to be removed otherwise your garlic sauce will be bitter. Place the garlic gloves in your food processor. Add the salt and mince the garlic for about 30 seconds. Add ¼ cup of olive oil to the minced garlic, process for another 30 seconds. With the machine running, add very slowly the olive oil, similar to making mayonnaise, very very slowly, between the oil add a tablespoon of the lemon juice at a time and continue with the olive oil. Let the machine run and incorporate all of the oil and lemon juice. Take your time to do this; it is very important that the oil and the lemon juice is slowly mixed. When you have finished adding all, stop the machine. The result is a creamy to whitish thick sauce, wonderful strong tasting. I usually make a big batch of it to use up all the garlic and fill up ice cube trays with it, cover with foil and place it in the freezer. Every few days I take out a piece of the frozen toom/toum and use it. www.beverley.wa.gov.au All types All areas ALLROUND CONCRETE Shed floors, driveways, footpaths, house slabs, silo pads, fertilizer/grain/supa sheds Robbie Higginson Mobile: 0427 384 977 Home: 9641 2459 Fax: 9641 2339 Abn: 26 997 512 874 Po box 345 York wa 6302 BEVERLEY TRANSPORT SERVICE Your local carrier for over 30 years.

It’s the song that usually gives us a lump in our throat and tears in our eyes. The following story brings new meaning to it and it is something that everyone should know. Reportedly, it all began in 1862 during the American Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison’s landing in Virginia. The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land. During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moaning of a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field of battle. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through gunfire, the Captain reached the injured soldier and began pulling him back towards his encampment. When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead… The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light he saw the face of a soldier… it was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army. The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy status. His request was only partially granted. The Captain asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral. The request was turned down since the soldier was Confederate. But out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him just one musician. The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth’s uniform. The wish was granted. This is how the haunting melody we now know as ‘The Last Post’, used at military funerals and services worldwide was born. www.beverley.wa.gov.au The words for ‘The Last Post’ Day is done Gone the sun From the lakes From the hills From the sky All is well Safely rest God is nigh Fading light Dims the sight And a star Gems the sky Gleaming bright From afar Drawing nigh Falls the night Thanks and praise For our days Neath the sun Neath the stars Neath the sky As we go This we know God is nigh Remember those lost and harmed while serving for their Country.

On NITV programmes - Awaken: What does it feel and to call yourself an Aboriginal or Indigenous? Feedback from most elders and the audience is; the general consensus is as to how one can identify with their own culture. Identity: is the most important part of indigenous culture. Some identify themselves as: -First people - Indigenous - Aboriginal - First Nation. No matter what, one must never forget their culture or where their roots came from. Sometimes others may question your Aboriginality, as to your colour or do you have a certificate to prove your Aboriginality. Now in most cases as per government requirements this is a must, therefore to receive certain benefits, an indigenous person who has 60,000 years of culture and country has to prove to Australia as to who they are and where did they come from. ABORIGINATILIY As part of Crana’s role, from time to time we have to issue Certificates of Aboriginality, due to government requirements Indigenous Communities Closing Down: It is expected that the government will be closing down 150 communities (12,500) men, women and children. Up to date there has been no plans to house these soon to be homeless people. The question is if there is no alternate accommodation, they will be sleeping under trees, in parks and on the streets in the northern towns. Australia today, one would wonder how this desperate situation could arise on our lucky country and for who? Where is this so called lucky generation.

WHEN: Mondays TIME: 1.00pm WHERE: CWA Hall Beverley Blarney, Edition 367 – May 2015 29 THE BLUE LINE Beverley Police Station 57 Hunt Road, Beverley WA 6304 Phone: 08 9646 3333 Email: [email protected] Hello Everyone As I write this Blarney (sat at home, in my kitchen, dogs wanting to go out for a walk but they can’t yet because I forget to write this months edition) I can say that my theory was and still is right; my brother’s gone home so the weather has turned nice again. I’m not saying the rain wasn’t welcome but he’s like Crowded House that lad (and if anyone can guess what that’s a reference to they win a slice of Jane’s wonderful chocolate cake). Heavy Heart It’s with a bit of a heavy heart I find myself writing this Blarney. As everyone is no doubt aware we have been touched by incidents out in Sandstone recently involving members of our community. Out of respect for everyone involved I won’t go into tremendous detail but please respect those involved in this incident, offer them goodwill and best wishes, not opinions. It’s a tough time and one that isn’t helped by a number of rumours I’ve heard in town. The press will always use terminology and phrases which aren’t helpful. They have a job to do and so do we so in that respect I’d ask for tact and diplomacy rather than reacting to something you read in the papers or see on the TV. Thanks everyone. Crime There’s been a few more incidents of wire cutting around the outer edges of town. Due to some fantastic information we have received from various people in and around town we are building up a picture of possible offenders and are continuing to investigate these incidents fully. Other than that we’ve been steady with a few crimes of a minor nature reported to us, nothing overly serious but enough to keep us on our toes. Please keep an eye out for scams, particularly email ones. Don’t click on anything you think might be iffy, instead either contact us (see more below) or contact Scamnet on http://www.scamnet.wa.gov.au/scamnet/ About_WA_ScamNet-Contact_us.htm . I’ve been informed that I’ve ‘won’ in excess of $5000000 in the last few days according to my inbox. Don’t you have to buy a ticket to win a lottery? I haven’t bought one. Somehow I don’t believe them. Technology If anyone has been trying to contact us on our station email address, [email protected] and haven’t been getting responses, we haven’t suddenly become rude or shy. Apparently we now have a new ‘shared folder system’ and that’s where all our emails were going to. It’s a re-occurring theme with me in that I haven’t got a clue what I’m talking about when it comes to such gobbledegook but I’m assured now that I’ve 30 Beverley Blarney, Edition 367 – May 2015 followed all the instructions (they were sent to me in a style that only 3 year olds and Police Sergeants can understand) that the system should be working again. We’ll see……. Grrrrrr That’s the sound of me being angry. Remember a few Blarneys ago I mentioned rumours, gossip and the devil that is Facebook? Well, it’s come back to haunt me. I’ve been trying to think of a nice way of saying this but I’ve failed so I’m going to be blunt; some people need to grow up, need their heads banging together and get on with their lives in as adult way as is possible. If someone says something to you, either personally (very rare, people are cowards) or via a 3rd party why not be the bigger person and walk away? Is it really worth you getting into trouble because of something that was said about you? Do you need to go round and bash them because they were idiotic in what they said? If it is then ask yourself this question, who’s the idiot ? The one who said it (yes they are) or the one who reacted and ended up getting a criminal record out of it (yes they are). Walk away, laugh, carry on with your lives, trust me, you’ll feel better about it. Oh, and if those doing the threatening are reading this (or having it read to them) then please, once again, stop threatening to ‘get people up to sort them out’. That didn’t work in 3rd grade, it sure as hell won’t work in adult life. A perfect example of how to behave with idiots is in the film Rocky II. I can see yourself asking “where’s he going with this?”. Well, hear me out. In one scene Rocky takes a water bucket from another boxer who spits into said bucket but misses and some goes on him. The other boxer, who has been taunting him throughout, taunts our hero some more. Rocky says “Oops”. The bully boxer says “is that all you can say, oops?” Rocky pauses, smiles and walks away. It’s a classic put down. He was the better person. The rest is history, at the end he wins the fight (not with the taunter, with the bloke out of Predator) and goes on to make 37 more Rocky films, most of them rubbish. That’s all for now Ok, I’ll have to go now as the dogs are getting impatient. One’s looking at his lead and the other one, well, let’s just say he NEEDS to go as he’s telling me via the sense of smell and he’s looking at the yellow bags…………. Please, if someone taunts you, calls you a name or just behaves in a childish manner remember Rocky, smile and walk away, but never, ever, get talked into making a film called The Expendables 4, it just won’t work. Take care everyone, until next time (on the last minute as usual).

Court Appearance/Matters For all such matters, try to seek legal aid/ advice, either by phone or by appointment, whenever it is possible. I will contact a legal community service on your behalf, with a view to make an appointment for you, in your presence and with your authority. I have been advised that on court matters, if legal advice is not available the Legal Centres suggest to seek an adjournment. i.e. request from the Magistrate that you wish to seek legal advice. TV reports tell us that Legal Aid to Magistrates Court are not being cut back. Always check to see if you do qualify. Homeless people/Families living below the poverty line. Once again, TV and radio tell us that as on 21/04/2015, there are 1 million plus home less people and 1.6 million families living below the poverty line in Australia. i.e. earn less than $640 per week. One should take note that while the millionaires and billionaires are increasing by the month, this is happening in Australia. Department of Human Services - Centrelink While all tis is happening i.e. well over 2.6 million that are homeless and in poverty and another 1 million who are disadvantaged or have a disability. Our Federal Minister of Human Services was talking tough on ABC TV and other channels. She was referring to Centrelink was now monitoring Facebook and gathering information on recipients, as to who is single, living together, claiming single parents for children etc. i.e. challenging status of couples/individuals. The minister went on to say “All these cases eventually end up in court and end up in a prison sentence”. Once again clamping down on single parents who have little children? One must remember before Centrelink takes a recipient to court, they would have to provide solid evidence such as camera footage of movements, documents etc. Most investigators have 1.5 km long range cameras, this maybe how such evidence is gathered. In closing, most welfare, religious and community organisations, have stated that instead of the authorities getting tough and cutting down on welfare payments, in some sectors it should be increased and make homeless a priority and needs to be addressed and acted upon immediately.

Clinical Nutritionist, Profemme Practitioner Email: [email protected] This month we are talking about detoxing or cleansing. What happens in your body during a ‘cleanse’ or ‘detox’. Juice cleanses, colon cleanses, fruit detoxes, sugar detoxes, we have all seen these tings, but do they actually work? What are they supposed to do? Let’s take a look at the science behind the fad. Cleanses and detoxes are trendy, popular, and promise to clear out nasty toxins from your body and make you healthier. It is a tall promise. There are tons of different cleanses and detoxes. For the most part, a cleanse and a detox are the same thing. They are typically used interchangeably and have the same basic goals: to remove ‘harmful’ things from your body. Sometimes, they aim to target a specific organ like the liver or colon, and supposedly, detoxing makes you feel better. There’s no specific definition of a detox or cleanse, but they often involve limiting your food intake to pressed juice, avoiding specific types of food, or drinking a concoction of juices that supposedly rid your body of toxins. These supposed toxins are rarely described by cleansers in detail, but generally referred to as “poisons” or “pollutants.” In the medical field, toxins can refer to just about anything, from alcohol, to foods, to medicines, to asbestos. Detoxing can also refer to treatment for drug addiction, but that is very different, here we are specifically discussing these food-and-drink cleanses. What happens in your body when you are on a cleanse. We are all aware that fruit and vegetables are good for us, so following that logic suggests that a diet of just fruit and vegetables must be super healthy, right? Right?? Not really. If you drink nothing but juice for a week, you will lose weight, but it is because you are not eating, not because your body is “detoxing”. Water is stored in your muscles with glycogen. When you eat a low calorie diet, you use up those glycogen stores, and lose the water weight with it. You’ll gain that water weight right back when you return to your normal diet. You are also missing out on all www.beverley.wa.gov.au those other vital nutrients like fat, fibre, and protein. In fact, some cleanses suggest that you avoid exercise when you are on them because your caloric intake is so low which can lead to fatigue and dizziness. After a few days, your body is basically running on fumes, and without protein your body might start to break down muscle tissue instead. Likewise, the lack of fibre in your diet tends to impact the function of your large intestine, which might explain why people tend to describe their gut feelings on a juice cleanse as similar to the stomach flu. Most importantly, a juice cleanse doesn’t do anything that your body doesn’t already do on its own. Our bodies are already pretty good at removing toxins. If they weren’t, and you needed a yearly detox, we’d all probably be dead. Leaving our bodies alone they will remove toxins on a daily basis thanks to the kidneys, lungs, and liver. The whole point of going to the bathroom is to flush out toxins! Most of the cleanses and detoxes aren’t dangerous, they can cause some problems. Since juices don’t include much fibre, the body ends up absorbing more fructose sugar, which as we all know, isn’t good for you. The good news on depriving yourself is that it takes months to get any serious vitamin deficiencies. Most of these cleanses are probably stupid but not seriously harmful because all you are doing is restricting food for a few days. All of this is to say: the only thing a detox or juice cleanse actually does to your body is make you hungry and nutrient deprived for a few days. If you want to go ahead with a detox/cleansing be prepared before your cleanse, you will be better able to relax and enjoy and allow your body to go through its healing and detoxification process more effectively. caffeine (tea and coffee), sugar, salt and all processed food items. Avoid alcohol and nicotine. Go shopping and stock up on fresh organic fruits and vegetables as much as you can find. The evening before eat a light meal, such as a salad, a vegetable stir fry or a vegetable soup. Have a relaxing bath and go to bed early. Feel great that you are doing a wonderful thing for you. It is very important to come off your cleanse slowly. If not, you risk undoing all the good you have just done for your body. After a cleanse you often feel so much better, lighter and with a lot of mental clarity. You will likely have more energy, clearer skin and better digestion. So break your cleanse slowly. How you come off is almost as important as the cleanse itself. Continue for at least the first few days to drink hot lemon water and do your stretching/ exercise in the mornings. Continue also to eat primarily vegetable based dishes and the more you eat them raw, and the more green leafy vegetables you can keep in your diet, the more beneficial it is for your body. Continue to drink 2 litres of water a day for at least the first few days. Eating heavy or unhealthy foods can be especially tempting now, but this is the time when you need to use your will and strength to come off it properly. It doesn’t matter if you do a one day cleanse or a whole week the day after you stopped is the most important day to watch what you ingest. There, it is not very difficult to go for one day on a cleanse and depending how you feel afterwards you might consider changing you food intake to a bit more on the raw side. Next month we will cover straight juicing. I have a fact sheet for a one day detox plan. If you are interested you can email me to let me know. Here is to a healthier YOU Tips to get ready for your cleanse Valerie Gunsch Clean and straighten up your environment. Get rid of old and unused items around your Simple Cheesy Onion Bread place. Find a good relaxation audio to make you feel calm; consider using a relaxing essential oil such as Sandalwood or Lavender oil, both are very relaxing. Avoid drinking tap water and opt instead for filtered or mineral water. Two days before starting your cleanse eat more whole fresh plant foods, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds especially the green vegetables, whether raw or cooked.

Almost one hundred years a er some of Beverley’s young men faced the horror of the ba les at Gallipoli, descendants and other family members welcomed the opportunity to inspect the Beverley Historical Society’s exhibi on ‘Remembering THEM’. The Society focused on the ‘THEM’ in the exhibi on’s tle and re‐ searched the names of people on Beverley’s War Memorials as well as people ac ve in the town and district throughout the dura on of the war. Informa on was gathered from the websites of the Australian War Memorial and the Na onal Archives of Australia, digi sed copies of the local newspaper, the Beverley Times, local history publica ons and family knowledge. This has resulted in display boards highligh ng the soldiers who gave their lives and the places they are buried; those who returned and their lives post war; those who helped on the home front, the fundraising organisa ons they supported and the movies on offer at the Beverley Mechanic’s Ins tute. With the assistance of officers from the WA Museum and members of the RWAHS the exhibi on features five professionally designed panels that give an overview of WW1 and its a ermath in WA, together with informa on specific to Beverley and district. A secure showcase houses precious family keepsakes loaned to the Museum for the exhibi on. These include medals, plaques and scrolls from soldiers who were killed ‘over there’; and a diary, le ers, postcards and gi s that were sent or brought home. The electronic showcase, the panels and a banner were provided with monies from Lo erywest. The exhibi on has transformed two rooms at the Dead Finish Museum with photographs, newspaper ar cles, prints, posters and other items 34 Beverley Blarney, Edition 367 – May 2015 www.beverley.wa.gov.au of the period from the Museum’s collec on. There is also a con nuous loop of images presented on a computer screen. All of this is complemented by the over 120 bright red poppies kni ed by a group of locals. The a ernoon’s program included a welcome from Society member, Di Smith, who acted as MC, and an explana on of the research from project convenor, Morag Whitney. Morag chose to highlight the stories of four of ‘THEM’: orphan Sydney Igna us Campbell who died on the Somme; Richard Reeves Collard an 18 year old Aboriginal lad who needed his parent’s permission to enlist; Jessie Chris na Cli on the only woman on Beverley’s war memorial; and Florence Susan Walker, an energe c woman who was very ac ve in suppor ng the troops. Central Wheatbelt MLA, Mia Davies, spoke about the importance of community then and now and Dee Ridgway, President, Shire of Beverley, completed the agenda by commen ng on how the various local groups had worked together on this project, before declaring the ‘Remembering THEM’ exhibi on launched. The twenty eight people present then enjoyed a tradi onal country a ernoon tea and a further chance to examine the exhibi on. The Society received many compliments on our efforts and promises to come back again as there is such a lot to take in. ‘Remembering THEM’ is open all four days of Easter, Anzac Day a ernoon and weekends un l September 2015.

On Thursday 9th April, A Current May May May May May 25 26 27 28 29 P & K Smith B Sims/D Ormorod G Courtney/M Alford B & J Howell A & K Boyle Affair (channel 9) hosted a segment about Lyme Disease and we're so grateful! Exposure on the trauma experienced by not only sufferer, but their entire family too. You may know that our Lyme Patient Survey showed that average time to diagnosis is 6 years, meaning almost all Lyme patients in Australia are chronic before they get diagnosed. Media like the ACA Do you want to volunteer? We are always happy for new volunteers to join our crew. Contact 9646 3213 segment helps to change that. The LDAA would like to highlight a few additional points: Not all Lyme patients experience the seizures that Amy and Amara endure. Lyme seizures are 'atypical' and thus are often labelled 'psychogenic' and seen as not real. The majority of Lyme patients experience 'invisible illness' which comes with it's own extensive set of challenges, including denial by medial professionals and lack of understanding from family and friends (no matter how well-meaning). The 'invisibly ill' Lyme patients are also fighting for their lives. The LDAA is committed to supporting funding for progression of Lyme research in Australia simultaneous with recognition, protection of Lyme-treating doctors, reliable testing, affordable and knowledgeable treatment and public health prevention messages. HUGE thank you to the Lyme patients who got the ball rolling. If you missed the show, have a look at ACA9’s website.

Hope everyone enjoyed the recent rains, I know I did. Some green coming through and my baby trees loved it. I recently had a bit of a worry with the disappearance of one of my kangaroo boys. His name is Skip and he has survived 2 very serious conditions as a joey. He was given to me from a member of the public who had kept him until he was almost dead from malnutrition, dehydration and hyperthermia. This poor little man was so ill my vet didn’t think he would survive but we put him on the drip for 3 days and worked on rectifying his severe starvation, because his temperature was so low I couldn’t feed him until his temperature was over 35 degrees as a hypothermic joey cannot metabolise the formula. We had him on artificial heat until he could maintain his own body temperature which took about 5 days. He survived this and went on to be a healthy young man and then he came down with tetanus as everyone knows this is a very serious condition and normally fatal lucky for him I realised his condition quickly and got him to the vets before the convulsions had started so we were able to save him. It is a very hard job to save them from this but Skip survived. Two near death experiences before he had even turned 18 months old we called him Skip the miracle man. He is now about 3 years old and so handsome but last Thursday night he disappeared; normally all my released kangaroos spend all night locked in my release pen and let out during the day. He always comes in for the night but he didn’t show. This same night a professional kangaroo shooter was shooting over the river from my place and I know my wild mob go over there as it is very close to my place. This boy had over 1500 dollars in vet bills and had shown such love and happiness for life that I feel so sad and gutted to think he may have fallen victim to this callous industry where they decapitate or bludgeon little joeys to death after shooting their mothers. I love, care for, get medical attention and attempt to protect this mob of wild kangaroos they are not just nameless animals. I walk amongst them and would give my life to protect them but I feel powerless to help these guys. I am hoping to be able to protect this paddock from shooters but this is still work in progress and I will keep looking for Skip who may have been so frightened by the shooting that he is hiding out. I was terrified myself hearing the gun shots and my daughter who owns the house near the paddock had to calm her horses down because the spotlight was going in through her horse yard and into her house. She was terrified her horses could have been shot or injured trying to escape the spotlights and gun shots. The people leasing this paddock were very understanding about this situation. Thanks guys. Another sad incident was a kangaroo hanging in a fence this young male was lucky to have been noticed so quickly and his suffering was ended quickly. I had done my Dump Road run and checked the fences and there were no problems with the wildlife on that Road. I do this every morning and evening and several times through the night. About an hour and a half later Anthony from the motor cross club alerted us to the roo and we went down cut him out of the fence and then sedated him and administered pain relief and I then assessed him and he had a seriously broken knee and would never walk or hop again. Sadly we had to euthanize this boy but thanks to Anthony he was not hanging in the fence for very long. RIP little man and thank you Anthony. Now some good news we had a Boo Book Owl bought in this owl had been found in Grass Valley picked up by Sue in Northam dropped of at the vets in York for them to check him out and I picked him up from there and bought him in to care. He was eating fantastically inside but when I put him in the owl cage he wouldn’t eat so after a couple of weeks of bringing him in to feed and taking him back out I took him to Eastern Hills Vet and they could find nothing wrong with him either so it was decided we would take him to Kanyana for their specialist bird vet to look at. He discovered a small eye injury that was coursing a partial blindness and after some treatment he was successfully released with a group of juvenile Boo Books so that was a lot of networking with different people and organisations and in the end led to a success and happy ending. Thank you to everyone involved with this little man. The best care story of all is my little bat. This bat was found lying on the footpath in Brookton and bought to us. He had gone into Torper from the rain and fallen asleep and fell out of the tree he was roosting in. Torper is like a small hibernation when weather conditions are not good. Once he was warmed up he had to be fed and boy could he eat. I would catch moths and put them in his newly bought Bat Cave for him to hunt and eat. Watching him was better than watching TV his antics were so fascinating. I had not worked with Bats before and had to find out from other bat carers what to do. This little male Lesser Long eared Bat has opened my heart to a world of Bats and am looking forward to looking after more of these delightful little critters. Did you know than one micro bat will consume 1.2 million mosquitoes in their lifetime plus moths and other insects? I say bring on more bats and help lessen the mozzies that make our life so miserable.

Coming off the back of some good rain across the State there is definitely some positivity and no doubt plenty of action beginning to happen in the paddocks, but before we can take action on something we have to make a decision first. We make decisions every single day, sometimes without even knowing it, these are often the easy and simple decisions that are part of our routine of daily life. Decisions that are of a more complex nature, involve more risk, or a decision that has to be made under challenging circumstances or pressure can certainly cause us and those around us a bit of stress … this is normal! Being in a position to be able to make a decision is a good thing! For many people making decisions may not be an issue, I’m sure we have all met someone who seems confident, sure of themselves and likes to be in control and take charge of situations and the decisions that go with it. While others of us may be a little more indecisive, seek others advice or approval first, or maybe just need a little more time to think about things. Regardless of which end of the scale we are at, it is a positive to be in a position to be able to make decisions, as this means at least two things; 1. We are in a position to have a say and make a choice; 2. We are not procrastinating. So for those of us who sometimes struggle with our decision making process why is this so? What factors can impact on our decision making? There are a number of things at play that can influence decision making. Listed below are a few examples, which are not limited to nor conclusive that all these things will impact on your decision making, rather some things to consider. Uncertainty: No matter who we are or what we do, none of us know which way the dice will roll. None of us want to make the wrong decision, but sometimes this cannot be avoided. Complexity: This can depend on the nature of our business or situation, e.g. Farming involves so many different interrelated factors that quite often need to be considered (financial, weather, equipment, labour, cost/price). Consequences: Something we have all tasted at one stage or another both good and bad. We still need to consider what are the consequences - Risk Vs Reward. Alternatives: Have we considered them? Where do we get our information from that may inform us of all available options? Interpersonal issues: Who else is affected by our decisions, how will others react? What frame of mind are we in when making decisions? What else do we have going on in our lives, what’s our priorities? What can we do to help this process? Try and create a positive space. PPPPPP – Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Be realistic – look at the factors impacting on our particular circumstances. The grass is not always greener. Don’t be influenced by what others are doing. Stick to your plan/process that you are comfortable with. “Stay committed to your decisions but stay flexible to your approach”.

The lead line group were ready and rearing to go on Saturday the 18th April with Bethany on Gidget, Aaron on Starlight, Molly on Pippin and Jessica on Paddy. They started the day with a flatwork lesson with Tess Hawke and Marion Burnes that focused on how to get their ponies to go and stop smoothly. Then they had some fun finding all the grooming equipment in the arena, naming each piece and explaining what it is used for. The ponies and the riders had a short break for morning tea and then they were off with the knowledgeable Mrs. Peart for horse handling skills and how to use those grooming tools effectively (look out ponies). Now the ponies were spotless, time to re-saddle and off for a ride out with Jess Appelbee and Marion Byrnes to learn about road rules. Phew.. not finished yet...Lunch and then an afternoon learning and playing the Prince Phillip Mounted Games (PPMG). What a big day for the smallest members of our club and they were all still smiling by the end but I think their parents and coaches were ready for a foot massage! In the Arabian group Tealah trialed a new pony called Woody, Emily trialed a new pony Flinky, Bronte with her new mount Cheeky and Kip on her new pony Gwain. Tahlia on Dixie and Grace on Primrose were all put through their paces with Maria Weilbel. She did an amazing job as half the class were riding new ponies. Maria followed the dressage lesson with a clever serpentine jumping pattern that had both ponies and riders thinking carefully about where they need to be for each jump. Mrs Peart then had the group identifying, explaining and demonstrating the use of horse rugs. In the afternoon the riders joined with the younger groups to learn and practice the PPMG. Our warm blood group; Chloe on Rusty, Amy on Tom, Jessamin on Playboy, and finally Vicky on Rusty; were coached by Judy Rose, who had them also practising their serpentines in flat work which followed through to their jumping lesson. Judy challenged them by making them ride one handed while serpentining up and down the arena. Bianca borrowed her Tahlia’s horse and joined in for show jumping too. In the afternoon the girls practised their lunging skills for up coming exams and to help them deal with stressed horses (and riders!) at events. Hopefully next month I can report great results from Bronte and Vicky who attended Dryandra Pony Club’s two day event on the ANZAC weekend. Our next rally will be on Sunday the 17th of May, new members always welcome; please contact Mrs Pauline Appelbee if you are interested on 9647 1181 or at [email protected] Happy riding Bush Possum Horse Rug Repairs “Does my bum look big in this?” “Get your rugs ready for Winter” Contact Andrew Oakdale Handcrafted Products Ph. 9646 1403 54 Beverley Blarney, Edition 367 – May 2015 www.beverley.wa.gov.au Friday 01 May Hockey Club Quiz Night Saturday 02 May RSL Indoor Markets Wednesday 06 May Book Launch and Author Talk at CRC Wednesday 13 May Volunteers Morning Tea Friday 15 May Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea Sunday 17 May BORMSA Khanacross Sunday 17 May BHPC Rally Sunday 31 May TractorPull WA Saturday 30 May Thanksgiving Concert Saturday 13 June BORMSA Twilight Autocross Sunday 21 June BHPC Rally Sunday 12 July BORMSA Autocross Saturday 18 July BHPC Rally Saturday 08 August BORMSA Busy Bee & Junior Motorkhana Sunday 09 August BORMSA Autocross Saturday 22 August Beverley Agricultural Show Day 2015 Saturday 12 September Country Choir Bash Sunday 20 September BORMSA Twilight Khanacross Saturday 24 October BORMSA Autocross Saturday 07 November Rolling Stones & Rock Montage Tribute @ Platform Saturday 19 December Family Christmas Party @ Platform “Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different…” C S Lewis It takes nothing to join the crowd.
