RACEWARS event organisers have knocked back rumours that the event held in Albany over the weekend did not have proper accreditation.
The event attracted criticism after two separate car crashes on day two of Racewars at Albany Regional Airport resulted in minor injury of the fi rst driver and the death of the second driver, Brody Ford.
Rumours alleged that Racewars should have, but did not have, the appropriate ticks of approval from the Confederate of Australian Motorsport (CAMS) or Australian National Drag Racing Australia (ANDRA).
Event director Jon Murray stated on Tuesday that the event “strives to meet best-practice standards” and “must meet rigid safety standards” specifi ed by their insurance underwriters.
He said CAMS or ANDRA accreditation were not relevant for Racewars.
“As an emerging form of motorsport, there is no recognised sanctioning body for these types of events as it does not fall within the normal scope of long-established bodies such as CAMS or AN-DRA,” Mr Murray said.
“There is no requirement for events to sanction themselves with either CAMS or ANDRA and many major events around Australia proceed suc-cessfully and safely using alternative sanctioning and insurance options.”

MEMBER for Albany Pe-ter Watson has been criti-cised for saying the City of Albany was “never” going to win the tender for the WA Bushfi re Cen-tre of Excellence due to its isolation.
Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Steve Thomas said the whole tender process was a “furphy” and it was al-ways going to be awarded to Perth.
Last week, Premier Mark McGowan an-nounced the $18 million centre would be based in the Shire of Murray in the Mandurah suburb of Nambeelup.
Dr Thomas said it was a victory to have the centre located in a re-gional area rather than in metropolitan Perth. He stated Mr Watson’s com-ments, made in a recent media publication, were evidence that the State Government never con-sidered Albany seriously as a potential site.
MINISTER for Regional Development Alannah MacTiernan announced last week that more than $190,000 would be granted to the National Trust of Australia to upgrade the Old Farm Strawberry Hill ahead of Albany’s bicentenary in 2026.
The Old Farm, located on Middleton Road, is known for being the fi rst Eu-ropean farm in Western Australia after being established in 1827 and originally spanned more than 1500 acres.
Old Farm volunteer coordinator Judy Williams said the funding injection would mean the volunteers would have a better space to greet visitors and issue tickets.
“We’re running everything out of the house at the moment and it’s very cramped,” she said.
“This funding will release that room for proper interpretation.
“It was never intended to be an offi ce.”Ms Williams said there was still “an
awful amount of work to do” before the 2026 celebrations.
“The overall plan is to try and capture all the different periods of occupancy on the property,” she said.
“So with the creek rehabilitation we’re planting a lot of natives to acknowl-edge the Aboriginal presence on the property.”
Ms Williams said the whole property had historical relevance and the work that was needed to preserve and maintain the area was important.
“The buildings wouldn’t be the same without the gardens and the gardens wouldn’t have the same value without the buildings’ she said.
Minister MacTiernan said the Regional Economic Development Grant program also put $100,000 towards the redevel-opment of the Albany Town Hall into a contemporary visual and arts com-munity space.
“The Great Southern has some of WA’s best tourist attractions,” she said.
“Strawberry Hill has an opportunity to become a major heritage tourism attractions for Albany, while the town hall project will help to unlock one of Albany’s most striking and iconic buildings.”

“In my eyes it says the whole tender process was a furphy,” he said.
“The campaign we ran to make sure it wasn’t based in the metro area was the only reason it had got over the line.
“It was absolutely going to go to Perth.”
In April last year, Min-ister for Emergency Ser-vices Francis Logan an-
nounced the centre would be built in line with a recommendation made by the 2016 Waroona Bushfi re Special Inquiry.
Dr Thomas said nam-ing the joint bid made by Albany, Denmark and Plantagenet as a fi nalist in the process was a “lie per-petrated by the McGowan Government”.
“It was always between Perth and Pinjarra, never Albany,” he said.
“It would have been a
slap in the face if it went to the metro area.
“I suspect that Albany was never in the hunt to begin with.”
Mr Watson said while the decision may have been disappointing for the City of Albany he under-stood that an “Expression of Interest process was followed and that Nam-beelup was chosen as it met all the criteria”.
“I find it very disap-pointing that Dr Thomas
is undermining this an-nouncement, which I might add he supports,” he said.
“He is attempting to sow division amongst our dedicated volunteers in WA.”
Mayor Dennis Wel-lington said it was “just unfortunate” that Albany wasn’t the chosen site for the centre.
“Location was always going to be our problem and a deciding factor,” he said.
“I think we were consid-ered since we applied but it was out of our hands.”
Mr Watson said the cen-tre would provide skills in bushfi re management and would host volun-teers from the Parks and Wildlife Service, Forest Products Commissions and private companies from across the whole state.
“The Bushfi re Centre of Excellence is a statewide facility that will ben-efi t all fi refi ghters from across WA, including the Great Southern,” he said.
Final building plans for the Bushfire Centre of Excellence are expected to be fi nalised in the com-ing months.

ALBANY boutique hotel owners Sally and Craig Pullin struck gold at last week’s Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.
The pair won a gold medal for their business, The Beach House at Bay-side, alongside fi ve other WA accommodation sites and tourism attractions.
The gong adds to a shelf of awards, including win-ners of the hosted ac-commodation section at the 2016 and 2017 Qan-tas Australian Tourism Awards, and fi rst place in the same category at the Perth Airport WA Tour-ism Awards in 2013, 2016 and 2017.
Ms Pullin said it was an “absolutely amazing” feeling to hear the pair’s names called at the award ceremony in Tasmania on Saturday.
“It’s very surprising and exciting to achieve this,” she said.
“Coming from a small town in the corner of the country, it’s hard to stay on top of what everyone else is doing around the country and the world, so
n Craig and Sally Pullin.
it’s a great way to bench-mark ourselves.
“We are now in the Hall of Fame for the national awards because we have had three wins, which is awesome.”
Tourism minister Paul Papalia commended all fi nalists and winners.
“On behalf of the State government and Tourism Western Australia, I con-gratulate all the medal-lists,” he said.
“Their hard work and high standards have been rightly acknowledged.
“Tourism is vital to our state’s economy; it cre-ates jobs and develops business opportunities.
“The awards received by WA businesses are recognition that WA has real quality and diversity in its tourism offerings and operators who are committed to showing tourists the very best WA has to offer.”
SEVEN Great Southern shires are set to benefit from 52 new units under the Great Southern Housing Initiative, which was given the go-ahead last week.
Member for O’Connor Rick Wilson and Assistant Minister for Region-al Development Sussan Ley visited Gnowangerup last Thursday to deliver the news to the shires of Broomehill-Tambellup, Cranbrook, Gnowangerup, Jerramungup, Katanning, Kent and Kojonup, and to discuss the details of the project.
Ms Ley said the Federal government committed $10 million under round one of Building Better Regions Fund-ing, however the project was put on hold after the State government pulled $11.5 million – already set aside under the previous State government through Royalties for Regions.
She said the project scope has since been reduced to construct 52 units, instead of the proposed 79, after the State government reduced its funding commitment to $2.6 million.
The total project cost is now about $22 million, with the Shire of Broomehill-Tambellup sourcing additional con-
tributors to help offset the reduced State government contribution.
“The Great Southern Housing Initiative has been designed to tackle a housing shortage in the region and keep senior residents and key workers living within their regional local communities and support local business,” Ms Ley said.
Mr Wilson was happy that the project was able to proceed.
“Quality housing is important in at-tracting skilled people to small towns, particularly when regional shires are looking to hire employees for workforce gaps that can’t be fi lled locally, either in the public or private sector,” he said.
“The lack of fi nancial return on build-ing new properties limits the incentive for investment and has created a short-age in suitable accommodation.
“I’m really pleased that we’re able to help these shires fi ll the gap, because ultimately the ability to retain employ-ees in these areas will support the local economy and ensure the delivery of key services is not hampered by workforce shortages.”
The project is expected to be completed by December 31 this year.
Clinic centre constructionCONSTRUCTION on a new medical centre in Kojonup with eight clinical rooms to accommodate general practitioners and allied health professionals is expected to start in August.
Member for O’Connor Rick Wilson visited Ko-jonup on Thursday to welcome the announcement of a $750,000 capital grant, of which adds to a $530,000 bequest from Kojonup farmer George Church and a contribution from the Kojonup community.
Mr Wilson said the facility will be an enduring legacy of Mr Church and his nurse wife, Trish.
“The new medical centre will provide synergies with the Kojonup and Katanning hospitals, and the adjacent Springhaven aged- care facility,” he said.
“It’s important our senior citizens can stay in their community and receive the care they need, rather than relocating to metropolitan areas.
“Families need reliable and sustainable access to quality health care for all stages of family life.”
Mr Wilson said employment opportunities would be generated from the medical centre.
“GPs and young health professionals will also gain a fantastic opportunity to live and work in a thriving regional community,” he said.
“This medical centre has been a labour of love for a community determined to see a lasting legacy to much-respected farmer George Church and his beloved wife Trish.
“I am proud to have helped deliver such a valuable asset for the town of Kojonup and its surrounding shire.”
Mr Wilson said construction is expected to be completed by April 2020.

Racewars fatality under investigation
ASHLEIGH FIELDING
THE high-speed car crash that claimed the life of Albany-raised Brody Ford at Racewars on the weekend is currently under coronial investigation.
Mr Ford, 26, was behind the wheel of his parents’ 2010 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 around 11.30am on Sunday at Albany Regional Airport when the car failed to stop at the end of the runway track.
The car smashed through an air-port fence and fl ipped several times before catching fi re.
The top speed of the vehicle has not been confi rmed but it had the capacity to reach speeds of more than 200kph .
Mr Ford’s parents, Lynda Ford and Hank Morrison, witnessed their only child’s crash fi rst-hand and said the 26-year-old was taken to Albany Health Campus once he was stabilised by emergency personnel at the scene.
He was fl own to Royal Perth Hos-pital soon after when tests showed his injuries were life-threatening.
“We saw gravel dust when he got to the end of the runway,” Ms Ford said.
“We knew then that he had come off the road.”
Mr Ford sustained multiple inter-nal injuries from the crash, result-ing in a cardiac arrest.
His parents switched off his life support at 11pm that evening.
Tributes quickly fl owed on social media with friends and family sharing special memories they had with Mr Ford.
Friend Chris Lawson said the ac-cident had “absolutely destroyed” him.
“I don’t want to accept what has happened,” he said.
“RIP to the best friend anyone would be lucky to have.
GREATER Southern Girl Guides are using cheese to ignite conversations about domestic violence and raise money for White Ribbon Australia.
Guide leader Hiedi Rowe said the idea to host a Cheese for Change campaign in Albany stemmed from a simple scroll through Facebook.
A general love of cheese meant her fellow Girl Guides were more than happy to join in and planning for Cheese for Change began soon after.
Ms Rowe said the Albany event was a way for Girl Guides to help prevent the cycle of violence against women.
“Over 12 months, on average, one woman is killed every week in Australia as a result of intimate partner violence,” she said.
“We want people to know that violence against
women is everyone’s issue, and it is unacceptable. Girl Guides Brooke Ferguson and Tali Plunkett be-
lieved it was important to take part in Girl Guides and Cheese for Change to make sure girls of all ages knew what was and was not acceptable behaviour to tolerate.
“It shows women themselves that they can be em-powered. It’s a step in the right direction,” Brooke said.
“Like the things we learn at Girl Guides, it lets us girls take charge instead of boys,” Tali added.
Cheese for Change Albany will be held on March 24 at the Girl Guide Hall on Parker Street in Lockyer from 2- 4pm.
The community is asked to donate cheeses and baked cheese goods when they attend, with their $5 entry fee going directly to White Ribbon Australia, a nationwide campaign to prevent male violence against women.

“Wishes are with his parents that saw everything happen and can’t even imagine the pain they are go-ing through.”
Racewars event organisers and police suspended motorsport ac-tivities at the airport for the rest of Sunday after the accident.
Event director Jon Murray later posted online that motorsport was “a cruel mistress at times”.
“But we all understand the risks of participation,” Mr Murray said.
“We remain committed to grass-roots motorsport and the social and safety benefi ts of taking speed off the streets.”
Great Southern Police Superinten-dent Ian Clarke said the accident was subject to a Major Crash and coronial investigation.
“What we need to keep reminding ourselves is that it is a risky sport and tragically, people do lose their lives,” Supt Clarke said.
“But it still remains a popular sport.”
Supt Clarke believed “a lot of
effort” had been made by Race-wars event organisers to make it “extremely safe”.
Ms Ford remains in the dark on what caused her son’s car crash, so was keen to see the investigation’s outcome.
“He was no beginner,” she said.“He’s done Whoop Ass Wednes-
day [at Perth Motorplex] and he did Racewars last year…I’ve got no idea what happened.”
Ms Ford described her son as a “bloody car-mad young man”.
“He lived to play and drive and tinker with cars,” she said.
“He had a cheeky answer for eve-rything and he was just good fun.
“He was a lovable smart-arse.”Earlier on Sunday during the same
Racewars event, a Toyota Supra suffered a parachute failure and ran off the runway.
The driver had a “sore neck” but was “in good spirits” according to Racewars organisers, and was taken to Albany Health Campus for observation.

ALBANY Soroptimist Jan Leamon is encour-aging women and men of all ages to meet at the Stirling Terrace foot-bridge tomorrow and take a stand against violence towards women.
Join Me on the Bridge will take place on March 8 as part of broader In-ternational Women’s Day celebrations, inviting peo-ple to stand and sing on
the town bridge.The tradition dates back
to 2010 when women from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo met on a bridge as a symbol of peace, while their countries were at war against each other.
The women were victim to rape, slavery, violence and human trafficking, and their efforts for unity triggered women from more than 50 countries to mimic their act in the
name of peace and hope.“Now is the time for
people around the world to unite in building bridg-es, joining on bridges and celebrating what is possible on bridges,” Ms Leamon said.
“Strong women are building the bridges of peace for our future and our children’s future.”
The Albany event will also include the launch of this year’s Albany Wom-en’s Centre Kare Kits.
AN ALBANY professor has been invited to speak at the largest aqua-culture conference and tradeshow in the world next week.
Professor Peter Cook from the Uni-versity of WA Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management – based in Albany – will speak at the World Aquaculture Society Sympo-sium in New Orleans in America from March 7 to 11.
The event includes presentations, seminars and technical sessions and is expecting to attract nearly 4000 people.
Professor Cook will discuss ‘Has International Aquaculture Certifi ca-tion resulted in better environmental
and social outcomes of the industry.’
“I’m delighted to be invited to speak on a topic that I’m passionate about,” he said.
“It is inevitable that fi sh production through aquaculture will increase sig-nifi cantly in the coming years, and it is important that, as this happens, we consider the environmental and social impacts of this trend, and also fi nd a way to reward those operations that make an effort to mitigate impacts.”
Representatives from the World Aquaculture Society, National Shell-fi sheries Association, Fish Culture Section of the American Fisheries Society and the National Aquaculture Association will be in attendance.

n Soroptimist International Albany branch members Jill Larsen, Carol Thomas, Julie-Ann Gray, Jan Leamon and Pamela Kidson.
The kits – filled with full-size toiletries and feminine hygiene prod-ucts – are given to women and children escaping vi-olent homes to help them get back on their feet.
Donated items can in-clude shampoo, condi-tioner, toothpaste, deo-dorant, hairbrushes, ra-zors, children’s clothing, underwear and sleepwear, school bags, lunch boxes and drink bottles.
Ms Leamon said the kits were a great way for peo-ple to directly help others in Albany.
“It’s help in a practical way,” she said.
Join Me on the Bridge commences at noon to-morrow with singing and music from Bird on a Wire and the Albany Shantylillies.
Donations for Kare Kits can be dropped off at the Albany Public Library, Anglicare WA, Vancou-ver Arts Centre, Albany Leisure and Aquatic Cen-tre, NAB Albany, Leading Edge Computers, Western Workwear, McGregor Mortgages, Ray White Rural Albany, Albany Volunteer Centre, Ben-digo Bank Mount Barker and NAB Denmark.

RECYCLABLE waste tota lling 1.3 MILLION tonnes has been affected since the recycling crisis in January 2018. With some coun-cils in the eastern states sending recycling to landfi ll, how can you reduce the amount of plastic waste in your home?
Albany Eco House offers a range of sustainable swaps for the whole house or business. Reuse your own containers to fi ll with deter-gents, general cleaners, and body care products including shampoo conditioner and hand/body wash.
All are made in Australia and using natural ingredients and are palm oil free. They also have a range of package-free soaps, brushes and cloths that are made of natural materials that will bio-degrade in your compost.
Albany Eco House is increasing their range to meet the growing demand and owner Jessica Wood suggests a great low-waste tip is to choose reusables instead of disposables.
“Our safety razors are perfect for reducing your waste. Normal disposable razors are made of so many different materials, it’s so diffi cult for recyclers. When you swap to reusables you save the environment, but you also save time as you’re not shopping for more all the time,” she said.
As well as their range of envi-ronmentally friendly products, Al-bany Eco House is active in their sustainability goals by offering specialised recycling at the shop.
They accept Nespresso coffee pods, used postal bags, and even beauty and dental products that you can’t put in your home recy-cling bin.
Some of the products Albany Eco House accepts are:
Cosmetics packaging such as used lipstick and lip gloss, mas-cara, eye shadow, bronzer, founda-tion, eyeliner, eye shadow, lip liner and concealer packaging.
Hair care packaging such as used shampoo and conditioner bottles and caps, hair gel tubes and caps, hair spray and hair colour and treatment packaging.
Skin care packaging such as lip balm, face moisturiser, face and body wash soap dispensers and tubes, body and hand lotion dispensers and tubes and shaving foam packaging.
Toothpaste tubes and caps, tooth-brushes, toothbrush and toothpaste tube outer packaging and floss containers.

RESEARCH conducted in West-ern Australia has confi rmed bar-ley performs better than wheat in getting the best from early sown crops in frost-prone landscapes.
Department of Primary Indus-tries and Regional Development trials at medium production zones in Kulin-Lake Grace and Quairading, and high production zones in Wickepin and Dale, ex-amined the performance of longer season varieties of wheat, barley and oats impacted by frost.
Senior Research Officer Ben Biddulph said barley was better able to maintain grain yield and gross income than wheat in all sowing windows from mid-April
to mid-May, under moderate and severe frost.
“Under moderate frost envi-ronments, longer season barley varieties sown in early to late May produced the highest grain yield and gross income of all crop types evaluated,” he said.
“Under severe frost, long season oats were able to maintain higher grain yield and gross income compared to barley.
“However, the lower historical price and lower grain yield poten-tial in low rainfall environments of oats relative to barley reduces their usefulness as a frost manage-ment tool.”
Dr Biddulph said optimising crop and variety choice at sowing time to minimise exposure “is still the most important way for farm-ers to minimise frost damage”.
“Growers should consider plant-ing longer season oats, barley and then longer maturity wheat varieties when early opportunity arises, rather than the commonly used mid-season varieties,” he said.
“This may also reduce the po-tential opportunity cost associated with lower yield and greater frost damage in seasons when frost occurs and affects grain yield and quality.”

THERE is still time for people to nominate and take part in this weekend’s Leukaemia Charity Fun Golf Day at King River.
The three-person ambrose event will be held at Riv-erview Country Club on Sunday and golfers will tee off at 10am.
Friends of the Leukaemia Foundation Albany Coor-dinator Gayle Harman said people can call up and put their names forward up until the end of today, March 7.
“They just need to call Rod Bassett on 0428 441 227,” she said.
“It costs $90 per team and that includes a sausage sizzle and barbecue tea.
“We keep everyone very well fed all day and there’s lots of prizes and novelties on every hole.”
Proceeds from the event will go towards the Leukae-mia Foundation, a charity that supports people with
blood cancer, funds cancer research and helps with accommodation.
“The Foundation has accommodation for patients and their families in Innaloo,” Ms Harman said.
“So, this event’s donations will go towards helping that accommodation.
“We really just want to raise awareness and as much money as we can, to help people with blood cancer.”
Over the past six years there have been six golf days with the Albany support group raising more than $30,000.
Just over $6000 was raised last year alone and Ms Harman hopes that target can be smashed on the weekend.
According to the Leukaemia Foundation, blood can-cer is the third most common cause of cancer death in Australia and 35 Australians are diagnosed with the disease everyday.
More information about the Albany group can be obtained by calling Ms Harman on 0408 094 817.

Beard gathers speedGRACE JONES
THERE were plenty of amazing cars to look at when walking through the pits at Racewars this weekend but one of the most prominent was Ian Beard’s 2017 HSV GTSR.
A car afi cionado would recognise Mr Beard’s GTSR as the last ever HSV to roll out of pro-duction as well as the most powerful perfor-mance car Australia will ever produce, however on closer inspection you would notice something a bit different.
In July 2014, Mr Beard was train ing for the an-nual footy grudge match between the Department of Fire and Emergency Services and WA Police when a car hit him as he was cycling in Attadale.
Mr Beard said the ac-cident left him with frac-tures to his C4, C5 and C6 vertebrae and confined him to a wheelchair as a quadriplegic.
That didn’t stop the fi re-fighter from reaching a top speed of 253km/h in 22.3 seconds on Saturday with an enthusiastic fan riding shotgun.
“The messages from my brain gets through to some of my limbs and I can hobble around slowly on crutches,” he said.
“My hand function is pretty poor but my left leg is pretty good so I
n Ian Beard said he wouldn’t let his disability get in the way of his passion for cars.
use a left foot accelerator conversion and a spinner knob on the wheel.”
Mr Beard’s mean look-ing GTSR has a spinning knob attached to the steer-ing wheel to cater for his hand function and on the fl oor is a detachable ac-celerator conversion.
“It’s pretty simple to convert a car for my dis-ability,” he said.
“I went to an engineer-ing fi rm and they had the parts available to make something. It still had to be taken over the pits though.
“The modifi cations clip off in seconds so if any-one wants to give it a go, it’s easy to pull out the conversion.”
Mr Beard said his 2014 Holden Ute was modifi ed
as well and functioned as a daily driver whereas his GTSR was the “every-now-and-again car”.
Mr Beard said this year’s Racewars event was the fi rst he had attended but he was a frequent visitor to Whoop Ass Wednes-day’s at Perth Motorplex.
“I saw that Racewars was coming up and thought I might as well
see how fast I can go and what the top speed is in the HSV,” he mused.
“My whole goal of get-ting through rehab was to get strong enough to start driving again.
“Driving is my passion and I wasn’t going to let what happened to me stop me from doing what I love.”

SERF stokedTHE Save East River Forest Net-work (SERF) wish to commend decisions made by the Denmark Shire Council between December 2016 and July 2018 in relation to the Denmark East Development Precinct Project (DEDPP), which led to the termination of the East River Road Bridge (ERRB).
SERF members also wish to thank MLC’s Alannah MacTiernan, Sally Talbot, Steve Thomas and Diane Evers who all gave their public endorsement to SERF’s Five Point Plan.
This plan suggested steps for transitioning the DEDPP into a community-friendly project, based on safe, effective and sustainable, developmental process.
The plan incorporated the renego-tiation of the DEDPP’s Royalties for Regions funding agreement: separating the western and east-ern components of the project and approving further time for detailed analysis of the need, cost and viability of the Road Bridge component.
Denmark Shire council acted with diligence and integrity in the gov-ernance of this issue, recognising and responding to the environmen-tal, economic and social priorities of the community.
Widespread concern at the des-ecration of the Kwoorabup Trail by the proposed bridge project demonstrated the signifi cance of the site to the community and its importance as a cultural, social and ecological asset.
We trust that decision makers have duly registered this importance and that the heritage and natural amenity of the site will continue to be safeguarded in the name of custodians past, present and future.
Over 40 local people convened to walk the trail on February 23 to demonstrate their gratitude and commendation to regional politicians and local councilors for helping to save the area’s 400-year-old trees.
Unfortunately on the day, one walker sustained an injury that necessitated assistance from the ambulance service.
So thanks also goes to our emer-gency services volunteers.
This service allows us to more safely engage with the natural spaces, in the place where the forest meets the sea.
All the stakeholders; environ-mental custodians, bush-carers and experts, as well as the municipality, all work together to create, enhance and protect the places that are spe-cial to us.
n Members of the Save the East River Forest Network.
Special - because they bring us connection, enrichment, learning and joy.
– Lydia Kenyon, SERF Admin On behalf of the Save East River Forest Network
South of EdenI AM accustomed to inaccurate comments directed at most of the developments I have instigated over the last 30 years, however the lime pit inaccuracies take fi rst prize.
The lime pit is not situated on Eden Road, it is 4km south of Eden Road.
There will be no trucks on Eden Road.
The access via Lees, Brown and Lake Saide Road will be sealed at my cost.
There will be no dust.There will be 14 trucks per day,
fi ve days a week from December to March.
For eight months of the year and on weekends, the locals will have a new sealed road and no trucks for their quiet enjoyment.
The photos on the action group’s petition are not of the peninsula.
The City of Albany witness at the SAT hearing gave evidence that the position of the pit and the extractive activities would not in any way affect the owners of land on the peninsula. The nearest house being 3km to the west of the 3ha pit. The owner of this house was the fi rst person to congratulate me on the success of the SAT decision.
It will be less impact on the Bibbulmun Track and the natural environment than the possible 22 houses and roads under the ap-proved structure plan supported by the City of Albany in this lot.
– Graeme Robertson Denmark
Lime pit soursTHE Dickinson’s are in error in their assumption and Mr Robertson in his suggestion that a lime pit has less impact than 11100-acre lots that could be there (No to Nullaki, 21 February 2019).
When the full Nullaki subdivision was approved, despite normally being a canny developer, Mr Rob-ertson did not register title to those 11 lots within two years (likely to void individual rates) and the sub-division approval and potential for building and subdividing the area vanished.
His attempt to re-subdivide was quashed due to changed regulations for fi re risk.
Present policy is that there is no subdivision in high fi re prone rural areas of the state anywhere.
This is due to the recent losses of lives and towns and is likely to continue.
The government is under tre-mendous pressure from insurance companies and others.
Without subdivision approval, no further building or development can occur so it is a straw man in the debate.
One house and worker’s or family accommodation is the current limit on rural-zoned properties.
The lime pit is now one title owned by Mr Robertson.
There will never be 11 lots, houses or development under current policies, likely the reason for Mr Robertson’s desperation to cover his failure and gain economic return from the lime quarry.
Further federal oversight is still in the offi ng and the cost of road maintenance alone may sink the project’s realisation.
– Larry Geno Nullaki, next to the proposed lime pit.

Hi, I’m Anj.
I’m a big advocate of active transport and have been part of the Walking School Bus for a while now.
A Walking School Bus is a school bus powered by legs rather than an engine. The bus travels along a set route to and from school, picking up and dropping off children from designated ‘bus stops’.
The Walking School Bus is a great way to get kids active and provides them with additional activity before and after school, while helping to reduce congestion in the school car parks.
If you would like to start your own Walking School Bus, visit or contact your school to see if one is
already running!

WHAT a wonderful townhouse set right in between the city centre and Middleton Beach.Don’t let the address fool you into thinking
this is a unit; this is a full-sized house with plenty of room inside and balconies, sheds and easy-care gardens outside and is free from strata fees.The two-storey residence is perched on the
higher side of Middleton Road and has balco-nies on both fl oors with the top one coming off the master suite. On the second fl oor is two bedrooms and a landing with the master having a generous walk-in robe and an ensuite with a great amount of bench space and cupboard space. In regards to the view, there is Lake Seppings
and Middleton Beach, including being able to see the pines and these aren’t glimpses of
water; it is a full view over rooftops taking in stretches of water. On the ground fl oor is a lounge that, with the
curtains opened, is full of light and Lake Sep-pings is situated directly in line of sight. The kitchen has nice higher-than-usual benches, a walk-in-pantry and wall oven. Put a couple of bar stools on the dining side to make a break-fast bar and it’s a great social kitchen full of light taking in the private rear paving and gardens.Out the back you can choose to easily set up
a vegetable garden, especially when you take into consideration the shade-house that is set up to hold many plants, with two levels of grow-ing space. Right next to that is the powered, well-presented garden shed. It is a two-level rear space, mainly paved so
absolutely no mowing is required but there is
already established, easy-care plants. The under-cover patio area includes a side gate to either let in a summer breeze or keep the winter wind out. The bedroom on the ground floor is of a
standard double size with built-ins. All the wet areas, as with the rest of the house, are in great condition and in this home include a separate toilet as well as powder room.Storage is with hallway cupboards as well as
under-stair storage with lighting.Reverse cycle air-conditioning, an alarm and
double car garage fi nish off the assets.Easy care, great location and nothing to do
but move in. Call Greg Loxton to have a look and see if you can picture yourself looking out over the water from your bedroom.

ALBANY WASTE AND RECYCLING EDUCATIONCommunity Information
EACH year more than 1.5 million kg of garden waste is collected in Albany’s four-weekly kerbside collection and turned into compost, saving an important resource from landfi ll. Albany’s green waste
bins are 240L with a lime green lid. Use your green waste bin for garden waste including plant material, leaves, prunings, grass clippings and small branches. It is important to make
sure that only green waste material is placed in the bin. Green waste needs to be put in loose and NOT tied up or in bags. Placing incorrect items in the bin is called contamination. Contamination causes
problems during the pro-cessing of green waste into high-quality com-post. In some cases, just a few contaminated bins can ruin an en-tire truckload of green waste. Please refer to the sticker on the under-side of your green waste
bin for instructions on how to use your green waste binlid. Replace-ment stickers are avail-able from the Cleana-way offi ce at 12 Allerton Street. Cleanaway collects
approximately eight tonnes of green waste from residential homes every day in Albany. At the processing facil-ity, your green waste is put through a mulching process. The mulch is placed in
long rows, wet down, and regularly turned when it reaches temperatures exceeding 55C. This process takes about two months and the com-post is then used in soil improvers for gardening and farming. The weight limit for
all kerbside wheelie bins, including green waste, is 70kg and the collection trucks have a safety feature built in to prevent bins over this weight being lifted. You can keep your bin under 70kg by making
Green waste – from garden to compost
n Note: That your wheelie bin must not exceed 70kg.
sure lawn clippings are dry and shaking soil of weeds and shrubs. If you struggle to push your full green waste bin out to the kerbside because it is heavy, then it may exceed the 70kg limit and you should remove a portion of contents so it can be lifted by the truck. The green waste bin
that most Albany house-holds have includes a bio insert to collect mois-ture in the bottom of the bin. Branches and sticks sometimes wedge in the frame of the insert and prevent your gar-den waste from sliding out when picked up by Cleanaway’s truck. Newer bins don’t come
with this insert and don’t get jammed. The bio insert can be removed from your bin to stop your garden waste get-ting stuck by following these steps:1. Push the vents
which are attached to the frame inside the bin with your hand or give them a gentle tap with a hammer. 2. Once you have
pushed all the vents inside the bin, simply lift the insert out in one piece.3. Remove each of the
vents on the insert by carefully cutting them off with a hacksaw or snips. 4. Finally, snap the
vents back into the bin and you are done.Once you have re-
moved the insert you can reuse it in the vegie garden as a trellis. If you have to dispose of it, place it in your general waste bin, NOT the re-cycle bin.
n Step 1 - Push vent inside the bin. n Step 2 - Lift the insert out.
n Step 3 - Remove the vents from the insert. n Step 4 - Snap the vents back in the bin.

FAMILY’S the word for east coast hip-hop per-formers Joel Ma and James Mangohig.The pair are bringing
their show In Between Two to Albany next week and say the theatrical performance is more than just singing and talking.“We don’t just sit and
rap at you,” Mangohig told The Weekender.“We tell our family sto-
ries and histories, and show photos in-between songs, and anyone can relate to the stories.“It’s really a refl ection
of our families and grow-ing up, and fi nding our-selves in our teenage years.”Hailing from Filipino
and Chinese back-grounds, Mangohig and Ma said they often struggled to balance elements of their family heritage with Australian culture.This “navigating of two
worlds” formed the basis of In Between Two.The pair were particu-
larly inspired to pursue with the show as “you don’t often see people with faces like ours on the stage”.
A CHILDREN’S pup-pet show exploring re-silience and belonging will be performed at the Albany Entertainment Centre next week.Spike is the story of
a young echidna who hatches far away from his home and isn’t sure who or what he is.After being discovered
by a young girl who is a victim of bullying, the pair go on a journey and learn how to stand up for themselves and fi nd their own “spikes”.Little Wing Puppets
artistic director and main performer Jenny Ellis said the idea for Spike had been brewing for many years.“I often work with differ-
ent Australian animals,” she said.“But I was really in-
trigued with egg-laying echidnas; their biology is so different.“So, I used the echidna
and based the story on The Ugly Duckling and it’s got a strong theme of bullying and belonging, and that it’s okay to be different.“It also looks at how
kindness is really impor-tant but we do need to be able to stand up for ourselves.”Ellis has four different
shows that she tours around the country and
Show has positive rap
Puppet plot hatched
“This show came out of a long conversation we’d had about growing up in the Hanson-Howard era, and the racism against Asians,” Ma said.“We didn’t have the
intent to do theatrical shows, but we did one in Darwin about fi ve years ago with songs and we told stories with photos, and it evolved and grew from there.“We went deep into
research on our fami-lies and their journeys to Australia because every immigrant story is different.”In Between Two kicks
off at 7.30pm on March 13 at the Albany En-tertainment Centre and tickets can be purchased online or at the centre’s box offi ce.

said Spike was a “very fun and interactive” show.
She encouraged par-ents to take their kids and share both the per-formance and post-show activities with them.
“I’ll do a bit of shadow
puppetry afterwards and show how to make shad-ow puppets,” Ellis said.“I’ve had a lot of feed-
back from people saying that it was a really good and inspiring thing, and that they’ve gone home afterwards and made shadow puppets with
their kids.”Spike will be performed
on March 14 in the Ka-lyenup Studio at 10am and 4pm.The recommended au-
dience is children aged four to 10. – Ashleigh Fielding

11 from 11am to 4pm and is themed “everything old is new again”.Vancouver Arts Centre Arts Devel-
opment Offi cer Emma Davis said the event would be a heritage festival as well as a promotional opportunity for artists.“We’re looking for people who make
their own products and on the food side of things, we’re encouraging gourmet foods and healthy options,”
she said.“We’re also encouraging upcycling
and people who use products in new ways, to tie in with the theme.”Ms Davis said 12 user groups from
the centre would also have stalls.“This gives our groups the chance
to encourage new members and sell their products,” she said.People interested in having a stall at

“I’m not a pyromaniac or anything, but fi re is exciting to me,” she said.
“That feeling…that rush when you see it…I want to share that feeling.”
Sivyer was fi rst attract-ed to the art world upon viewing realism and il-lusion paintings, and becoming intrigued with how the artists crafted each individual element.
It inspired her to create her own style of painting.
“I paint quite differently from traditional land-scapes,” she said.
“I think it’s more Aus-tralian; it’s darker and higher contrast.
“It’s a really good tech-nical challenge and you get great depth.”
Shadowplay is on dis-play now at Blush Retail Gallery on York Street until April 22.
An offi cial opening and artist ‘meet and greet’ will be held tomorrow, March 8, at 4.30pm.

Fishing in great depthCOLUMN COURTESY OF
n Albany’s Andrew Sheppard with a nice hapuka from a recent fi shing trip.
THERE are many styles of fi shing and one that has developed with the advances in technology is deep-dropping. So, what exactly is deep-dropping? As the name suggests,
it is fi shing in very deep water and I would say the benchmark depth to really say you are deep-dropping is 200m. To do this you need
some specialised fi shing tackle and also a decent echo sounder and trans-ducer and both of these items don’t come cheap.So, I suppose the fi rst
big question is what do you catch out of Albany
in that depth of water? The four main spe-
cies are hapuka, blueye trevalla, greyband cod and bass grouper. They all tend to live at different depths but there is some changeover so you can never be quite sure what you will catch. Bass grouper grows
to the biggest size of the four with fi sh up to 2m in length and 100kg in weight having been caught, but the normal size is around 80cm and 15kg. Now bringing a fish
that size to the surface in 300m is no easy task and fairly specialised tackle and great strength and fi tness is needed. Most sensible peo-
ple use electric reels
mounted on a bent butt 50kg rod loaded with 80 to a 100ld braid with up to 4kg of weight on their rigs.
But there is a few brave (or if you ask me, stupid) souls that drop 500gm plus metal jigs down to the bottom on special-ised jigging rods and reels and do the whole process manually - and they catch as many fi sh as the bait fishers as these fi sh tend to be very aggressive.
Setting yourself up to fi sh deep is not a cheap option with most electric reels being well over at $1,000 with a rod costing anywhere from $250 to $600 and even the line can cost in the vicinity of $200.
You then need to pow-er them separately from your boats power sys-tems to ensure you’re not having fl at batteries 20-odd nautical miles offshore.
But it doesn’t stop there as you need a pretty good boat to venture out to deep-dropping ground.
I do it on good days in my 615c Barcrusher but the weather has to be very good and my style of boat would be the absolute minimum.
But as they say in the classics “wait, there is more” and that more is a good quality fi sh-fi nder with a transducer of a minimum of 1k of power which will set you back
another few thousand dollars. The final part of the
costs of deep-dropping is where you actually fi sh for them and that is at the canyon, approxi-mately 20 nautical miles out from the coast so each trip has a hefty fuel bill attached to it. So why would you do it? I think the simple truth
is the eating qualities of these four fi sh as they are all superb on the plate. I hope I haven’t put
you off with all the costs involved as this style of fi shing is rewarding when you fi nally work it all out and as I said, they are all great fi sh to catch and eat. – Alby Snr

Classic muscle carDRIVING a classic muscle car around Albany certainly attracts attention, and deservedly so.
This 2003 Holden Monaro has an impressive 5.7-litre Gen III V8 in Hothouse Green with automatic transmission and has only clocked up 36,550kms.
It is unmodifi ed and original, only having two owners and coming with full leather interior, window tint, service history and rear spoiler.
The Holden Monaro was a rear-wheel drive coupe produced be-tween 1968-77 and then again from
2001-05.Campbell Road Motors own-
ers Ray ‘Hooky’ Dawson and Dave McLean said public pressure brought the Monaro back into pro-duction after Holden developed a concept car.
“The concept car was unveiled at the Sydney Motor Show in 1998 and such was the response that plans were put in place to bring back the Monaro,” Hooky said.
He said the V8 was the most popu-lar model with other CV6 being discontinued in 2003.
The Monaro continued until 2005 but despite this, Hooky said the car still had a modern design that drove beautifully.
“Many people believe the Monaro was the last celebrated model Hold-en has produced,” he said.
This impressive Monaro with low mileage would be a great collectors car with price on application.
It is a dream to drive, in perfect condition and even still smells new.

A REPORT on general practice in Australia shows that the three most frequent reasons recorded as to why pa-tients go to a doctor are to obtain a prescription, for review of their condi-tions, and for upper-res-piratory tract infections. Professor Brendan
Murphy (Chief Medical Officer of the Depart-ment of Health) said the ‘General Practice Insights Report 2016-17’ working paper shows that the top fi ve chron-ic conditions patients presented with to gen-eral practitioners (GPs) were hypertension (high-blood pressure), depres-sion, dyslipidaemia (high cholesterol), anxiety and asthma. “Th is work ing pa-
per, which was com-missioned from NPS MedicineWise by the Department of Health, examines MedicineIn-sight data from GPs’ own clinical software showing why patients went to GPs and how their conditions were managed,” Professor Murphy said. “The fi ndings were de-
rived from completely de-identifi ed information from 2.1 million patients who attended 475 gen-eral practices across Australia. “The report shows that
GPs most frequently prescribed penicillin, an-tidepressants, opioids and drugs for peptic ul-cers and refl ux. It also shows that 42 per cent of patients had at least one pathology test result recorded.”NPS MedicineWise
CEO Steve Morris said that MedicineInsight in-formation is already be-ing used to assist GPs in their treatment of pa-tients and to ultimately improve people’s health. “This new MedicineIn-
sight report provides examples of areas of practice where GPs were shown how they were currently manag-ing patients, and where there may have been po-tential to improve health outcomes,” Mr Morris said. “In one of these exam-
ples, the data showed that around 43 per cent of patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease
were not prescribed guideline-recommend-ed, potentially life-saving statin therapy. “We subsequent ly
undertook a targeted education program to help GPs better identify and manage patients at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease.” Professor Nigel Stocks
of the University of Ad-elaide said this type of report and use of data in this way is critical in improving patient out-comes. “This insightful report
will help GPs to under-stand the health of their practice population and to provide the best pos-sible care to patients,” Professor Stocks said. Dr John Aloizos AM,
a Brisbane GP familiar with NPS MedicineWise and the MedicineInsight program, said “the report shows how the analysis of quality data from GP practices provides in-sight and helps me focus on the best possible care to my patients.”The General Practice
Insights Report is a working paper, as it is using a source of data
in a way that has never been done before on a national scale. NPS MedicineWise sought advice from the Austral-ian Bureau of Statistics to ensure the data were nationally representa-tive. “It’s also important for
people to know that NPS MedicineWise takes its role as data custodian seriously,” Mr Morris said.“Data are always en-
crypted during transit and storage following government and industry best practice standards, patient level data are de-identifi ed at the source, meaning personal identi-fiers are not extracted from practice data.“Ideally this report will
provoke d iscussion among the general prac-tice community so more insights can be gained and we can continue to work together with clinicians and consum-ers to improve health outcomes for all Austral-ians.”To read the full General
Practice Insights Report 2016-17, go to www.nps.org.au

EVERY December I send the people at the Week-ender a list of topics I’ve agreed to write about. Then I pretty much forget about it until it’s due. By this time, of course, several months have
passed, and I’ve become older, and more bitter, and I look at what my foolish younger self agreed to, in his innocence and naivety, and I curse him. Because some of these are a bit diffi cult to write
about. This somewhat serious one, for example, on medi-
cal and recreational marijuana. Unless you’ve been living on Mars, you’ll have heard about medical marijuana. It’s becoming legal in more and more places around
the world, and it’s starting to happen here and it’s something easy to get your hopes – and your fears – up about. But it’s an incredibly controversial topic, and it’s diffi cult to get to the truth. There’s enough bulldust generated – by both sides of the debate – to fertilise every plant in Australia.The situation at the
moment is this; medi-cal marijuana is legal, but only just. There’s a lot of laws and a lot of paper-work and hardly any doctors in Albany prescribe medical marijuana. There’s a very short list of
conditions that it’s legal to pre-
scribe it for – multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic and cancer pain. Not everyone who has those conditions benefi ts from medical marijuana. Some of them don’t benefi t a lot or for long. Not everyone who benefi ts can deal with the side effects. Marijuana does not – and I see proof of this every
single day – cure cancer. If it sounds like medical marijuana might help you,
I think the situation has improved from what it was a few years back, and it may be worth talking to your doctor about it. There are non-intoxicating options that contain
something called CBD – the stuff in marijuana that affects your thinking is called THC, and you can get some medications that contain the CBD without the THC. That means a lot of the people’s worries about legality and side-effects can be put aside. I probably should mention recreational use of
marijuana too, even though everything I’ve just said is a long way away from the image of giggling
teenagers in some scungy part of Northbridge sucking on a bong. The thing is, that image isn’t true either.Your average cannabis smoker in Australia
is around 34 years old – there’s a surprising number of 60 and 70 year olds. They’re slightly
more likely to live in the country, they come from all classes of society and for a lot of them, things are okay. Not everyone, though. Just like with medical marijuana, everyone is dif-
ferent. There are going to be range of responses to recreational marijuana, and some people are going to get more of the good than the bad, and some are going to get more of the bad. The bad, well, that varies from person to person, but
some people say they’re not thinking as clearly, not remembering stuff that they used to, not getting classically paranoid but not going out as much as you used to, not feeling easy. Sometimes it’s motivation –
the guy who sits at home on his couch, smoking all day, and a couple of years have gone by.
Maybe that was always going to happen to him, but maybe not. Probably not. If you’re smoking, and you want
to talk, it’s safe. Doctors can’t tell your parents and they can’t
tell the police unless there’s serious safety or crime is-sues. You can sue them if they do. So if you’re worried,
come in and talk.

LEARNING to share can be a challenge for young children, but sharing is a skill they need for play and learning throughout childhood. You can help your child learn to share by giving them plenty of time and oppor-tunities to practise. Praise and encouragement for good sharing will help too.
Sharing is a vital life skill. It’s something toddlers and children need to learn so they can make and keep friends, and play coop-eratively. Once your child starts having playdates and going to child care, preschool or kinder-garten, they will need to be able to share with others.
Sharing teaches children about compromise and fairness. They learn that if we give a little to oth-ers, we can get some of what we want as well. Children who share also learn how to take turns and negotiate, and how to cope with disappointment. These are all important life skills.Helping your child learn about sharing
Children learn a lot from just watching what their parents do. When you model good sharing and turn-taking in your family, it gives your children a great example to follow.
Children also need opportuni-ties to learn about and prac-tise sharing. Here are some ways to encourage sharing in everyday life:
• Point out good sharing in others. You can say things like, “Your friend was sharing her toys really well. That was very kind.”
• When you see your child trying to share or take turns, make sure you give lots of praise and attention.
• Play games with your child that involve sharing and turn-taking. Talk your child through the steps.
• Talk to your child about shar-ing before she has playdates with other children. For ex-ample, you could say, “When Georgia comes over, you’ll need to share some of your toys. Why don’t we ask her what she wants to play with?”

Newsletter
You can also talk to your child about sharing before they start child care or pre-school.
Although it’s important to share, it’s OK for children to have some toys that they keep just for them-selves. It’s a good idea to put away these special toys when other children come to play at your house. This can help you avoid problems with sharing.When your child won’t share
Sharing can be a challenge, especially at fi rst. Most children need practice and support to develop this skill.
If your child doesn’t share well, you can try practising together at home and talking about what you’re doing.
There’s no reason to avoid playdates if your child has trouble sharing. Instead, use them as a chance to help your child prac-tice. You could stay nearby and encourage them so they don’t forget to share. When they do try to share, you can say exactly what they did well and how proud you are.Consequences for not sharing
For children over three years, it can help to create consequences for not sharing.
When you use consequences for not sharing, it’s important that the consequences relate to the thing that’s being shared – or not shared! For example, if children aren’t sharing a toy train, you might take the train away from both of them for a short period of time. Neither child can play with the train, so the consequence feels the same for both of them. This can also get children think-ing about what they need to do if they want to play with the toy together.
When you think they’re ready, you can give the toy back so children get another chance to show they can share.Sharing at different ages Toddlers
Your two-year-old probably doesn’t have an understanding of what sharing is. In general, young toddlers believe they’re the centre of the world and that everything belongs to them. For sharing, children also need to be able to manage their emotions, and toddlers are only starting to learn how to do this. So conse-quences for not sharing probably won’t help your toddler learn to share. Instead, encouragement and practice will work better.Preschoolers
By age three, many children are
sure your child and others that they’ll all get a turn.
At this age, your child will be much more patient and tolerant than they used to be. They’ll also be keen to do the right thing and can form more complex relation-ships, which really helps with the idea of sharing.
For the full article head to https://raisingchildren.net.au/tod-dlers/behaviour/friends-siblings/sharing
beginning to understand about turn-taking and sharing. For example, your preschooler will probably understand that sharing equally is the ‘fair’ thing to do, but they still might not be keen to put sharing into action when it comes to giving something up. They might also still be impatient when waiting their turn.
You can build your preschool-er’s sharing skills by watching for and praising good turn-taking, encouraging fairness and ex-plaining about sharing. Simple activities that involve sharing and taking turns like kicking soc-cer goals or shooting basketball hoops can be helpful.
If there’s trouble, it can help to remind your preschooler how they’d feel if someone took their toy, or didn’t let them have a turn. Talking to your child about other people’s feelings will help them understand things from some-one else’s point of view – this is also an important skill in making friends.
It’s a good idea to be realistic about a preschooler’s ability to share. At this age, most children are still learning and can fi nd it hard to understand other peo-ple’s thoughts and emotions.School-age children
By the time most children start school, they’re beginning to un-derstand that other people have feelings too. This means they’re more likely to share and take turns, although it might still be hard for them to share a favourite toy or game.
School-age children also have a strong sense of fairness and might not want to share a toy or a play a game if they think they won’t get a fair go. It might help to check the rules of the games your child is playing, and reas-

BOARDS are being waxed and wetsuit zippers are being tested ahead of the annual Junior Wavefest competition.
Last year’s competition had a bumper fi eld of grom-mets eager to hit the waves .
Albany Boardriders President Peter Bolt said last year’s event had 30 competitors hitting the waves and that he was hoping for a few more this year.
“The participation numbers go up and down each year depending on the enthusiasm from the grom-mets,” he said.
“It’s always great to see the young ones come through though.”
Bolt said a lot of last year’s under 18 competitors had moved on to the senior divisions.
“We have a new group of eager young grommets frothing to have a go,” he said.
“Last year it came down between the Denmark and Albany young surfers and I’m hoping all those young guys come back.”
Twelve-year-old Campbell McLean hit the rookie division last year and said he would tackle the Under 14 division this year.
“I’m looking forward to the competition,” he said.
“I’ve been doing a fair bit of surfi ng so far.”McLean said he had been surfi ng for around six years
and was partial to jumping on his boogie board from time to time.
“I like getting dumped,” he said.“As long as it’s not a massive dump that’s okay.“If it’s a medium dump it’s pretty fun.”Bolt said one of the reasons he got involved with
the Albany Boardriders were young participants like McLean.
“I’ve been surfi ng for a while now, more than 50 years actually, and seeing kids learn to surf is still one of the most exhilarating things we do,” he said.
“We’re encouraging people to have a lifetime of fun surfi ng.”
Bolt said the final location for the competition wouldn’t be decided until closer to the day.
“It will either be Mutton Bird or Ocean Beach in Denmark,” he said.
“It depends on the swell and what the wind is doing.“Ocean Beach is the preferred spot because of the
safety of having the surf club nearby.”Registrations for the Junior Wavefest on March 16
and 17 are open at www.albanysurf.com.

Higgs alarms Bell
THE thundering sound of V8 engines were heard in Mount Barker on Satur-day when the speedway club hosted the 12th an-nual Super Sedan Classic.
The 25-lap feature ran without a caution and saw Forrestfi eld’s Gary Higgs claim the chequered fl ag.
Higgs started from pole position alongside Kevin Bell, who won the Collie Super Sedan Summer Series round last week-end, with the pair racing side-by-side into turn one until Higgs pulled clear in the back straight.
Chris Pavlovich, who started fourth, got the jump into third over War-ren Minshull who, after three laps, fell back to fi fth with Adyme Harvey also getting past.
As the front pair cleared away, a battle started between Pavlovich and Harvey.
With no drive on the highline, Harvey pres-sured Pavlovich down low for much of the fi rst half of the race until he found his way past at the 15-lap mark. The newly
crowned state champion wasn’t going to give his spot on the podium away easily and tried every-thing to fi nd a way past.
While this battle was going on, Higgs had hit lap traffic and got past Wayne Coleman and was zeroing in on the Adam Campbell and Nathan Thiele skirmish.
Higgs sat on the tail of the scuffl e waiting to fi nd the right time to get pass and eventually scooted through safely.
Once Higgs passed he went on to cross the line just over two seconds in front of Bell to claim not only back-to-back victo-ries but his seventh Super Sedan Classic overall.
Harvey held off Pav-lovich to claim third while Minshull rounded out the top fi ve.
During the heats ear-lier in the day, Higgs and Bell both won two events each.
Minshull claimed one while Pavlovich won a thrilling third heat by just 0.039 seconds from
n Kevin Bell trying to catch Garry Higgs from the outside during the Super Sedan Classic.
n Juniors on the podium.

Numbers were slight-ly down for the Street Stocks and Production Sedan classes, though Mike Kinnear claimed Productions and Lincoln Coleman took out the Street Stocks division.
Once again the Juniors had a strong fi eld with Taj Coleman winning the day.

YES, you can! The calorie burn that occurs as you work out isn’t the only calorie burn that counts. What you do in between your structured workouts can have more impact on your health than you realise.Whether you go hard in the gym or
sweat it out in the great outdoors, there’s no doubting exercise is a good thing. But even those powering through
an early morning workout run the risk of negating their efforts by being less physically active for the rest of the day. Or, in some cases, they eat more and consequently overcom-pensate for the calorie burn.You can quickly undo the positive
effects of exercise, but it’s remark-able how easily you can amplify the benefi ts of exercise when you’re not working out, by merely focusing on making your lifestyle as active as possible.How can we maximise this?Be cleaner and tidier. Switch
monotonous, lethargic tidying for a more enthusiastic approach to everyday chores. Embrace op-portunities to sweep and vacuum, reorganise cupboards or just get out and weed your garden – not only is it great for your body, but it’s also good for your mental health too.
Make your workday work. Use the stairs, stand when you’re at your desk, have walking meetings, and instead of emailing a colleague, get up and go to speak to them.
Track your steps. Start using a fi tness tracker and aim for at least 10,000 steps a day – this is the number the U.S. Department of Health recommends as an achiev-able goal for daily physical activity.
Become an active relaxer. Be mindful of how you relax – consider walking, restorative yoga, or chat-ting with a friend instead of simply sitting on the couch. And if you are relaxing on the sofa make the most of an activity tracker that monitors periods of inactivity and sends alerts to get you moving.

Denise defi es diagnosisGRACE JONES
BEING defeated by her diagnosis was something Denise Amato couldn’t abide by four years ago after being told she had primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
Amato decided to participate in the MSWA Albany Swim and agreed to act as the ambassador in a fortnight to help raise awareness for her con-dition and for other people suffering with a range of neurological condi-tions across the Great Southern.
The MSWA Albany Swim has run for seven years and teams of 10 see how far they are able to swim in an eight-hour period.
Amato said when she started she had a single of team of 10 which quickly escalated of two teams of 10.
“I had so many friends and family offer to join in,” she said.
“We’ve raised over the $4000 mark now and we didn’t really go into it wanting to fundraise.
“Some people were saying they weren’t very good at fundraising but having said that, the three leading fundraisers at the moment are all in my team.”
Amato said it took her a few years to be able to tell anyone outside of her close friends and family that she was diagnosed with MS.
“I was very private with my diag-nosis and this year I decided to go public with it,” she said.
“I didn’t want to be ‘oh there’s Denise Amato, the one with MS’.
“I wanted to live my life.”
Amato said despite her condition affecting her mobility and energy levels, she decided she wanted to give back to MSWA for the help they had given her.
“Mainly I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and do something,” she said.
“I need a reason to get out of bed most mornings so I thought this is a reason to do something good.”
Amato said she swims in the ocean fi ve days a week rain, hail or shine.
“I really thought I could swim,” she joked.
“But I soon realised that I really can’t swim well at all hence our team being called the Bathroom and Decor Bobbers.
“It’s a reflection of my ability as an ocean bobber rather than a swimmer.”
Amato said the support she had received from MSWA to manage her condition was invaluable and encouraged anyone suffering from a similar condition to get in touch with them.
“You’re not succumbing to this ill-ness by changing how you do things everyday,” she said.
“It’s a vehicle to help you live your life the best you can.
“Some days I feel pretty useless and it would be easier to shrink into a corner but I don’t stop trying.”
The MSWA Albany Swim will run on March 23 at the Albany Leisure and Aquatic Centre from 9am to 5pm.
Registrations are available at www.MSWASwim.org.au.

AS part of its suite of regional events, the Australian Institute of Company Directors will host a breakfast event in Albany with Elizabeth Carr AM, FAICD on March 14.
A full-time non-executive director, Carr has over 30 years’ experience as a director and chair in the not-for-profi t and community sector.
Many members of the community become involved in not-for-profi t organisations in sectors such as sport, local government and educa-tion, without being fully aware of what they are committing to. Carr will discuss the key components of governance for not-for-profit organisations and look at some of the challenges facing directors in this sector.
“Directors of not-for-profit or-ganisations are legally just as re-sponsible under the Corporations Act as directors of private sector organisations,” Carr said.
“There is an interconnection be-tween a commercial mindset and a social heart. If you wish to do good, you should do it well.”
Carr will talk about what con-stitutes corporate governance and why this is important for the future of a not-for-profi t company. She will discuss the current regulatory environment and look at areas such as fundraising and sales which are a signifi cant part of the work of many not-for-profi t organisations.
“People in rural communities make an important contribution at board level, often in multiple, local not-for profi t organisations,” said
AICD to host Governance Breakfast for not-for-profi t organisations in Albany
