April 2015 Page 7�Thank you to the�Ladies of the Anglican�Op Shop for the bag�of wool and knitted�squares. Thanks also�to Pam Corker House�

for 2 bags of wool. Thanks to Grant�for a large bag of wool and we extend�our sympathy to Grant on the loss of�his Mum. We helped his mum with a�donation of wool because she loved�to crochet. Thank you Barbara for�finishing a lovely pink rug which�someone donated as squares.�Barbara sewed them together and put�a lovely edging on to it. This rug has�been donated to Waroona Playgroup�to raffle. Barbara also sewed up odd�

shaped crocheted pieces into a rug for�the community car. We are hoping on�our next charity knitting day, April 2�nd� –�a guest speaker from the local RSL will�join us so we can present them with�some of the Poppies that Lil, Jane and�Coral have completed. There are 104�so far and we are still knitting! Lois is�still sewing up squares and I have been�given some more from this 92 year old�lady. I will help to sew up squares as I�have some from my Mum who is also�busy knitting more teddies. It was great�to have Lil back in our company. We�have heard that Mona from New�Zealand will be here on the 1�st� June for�3 months, staying with her daughter in�

Valentine’s Day Evening saw the�Inaugural Official Dressage Event for�newly founded ‘Murray Riding Club�Inc’, The Event was held on the�Waroona Town Oval, home of the�‘Demons’ Football Club, where riders�as far as the Swan Valley Region and�South of Bunbury attended. Murray�Riding Club Inc, also known as the�Murray Adult Riders are based at the�Murray Equestrian Centre, Coolup�which is currently in stage one of a�multi-million dollar upgrade project.�The event was planned when visiting�New Zealand Dressage Judge –�Robert Kofoed confirmed he would be�more than happy to judge an event�whilst visiting WA ... Along with�respected WA Judges – Denise Barker�and Sharon Addison, the event could�not have gone smoother, tests were�ridden pretty well on time and the�feedback received from all concerned�was nothing but positive. Club�President – Noeleen Kentish said “We�were so pleased to have to use of the�Oval for the event, at this time of the�year the weather can be so hot, and to�be able to hold an evening under�spotlights was something very special�for us. Our home grounds are in the�early stages of redevelopment and the�use of a local oval was invaluable to�

us”, The Shire of Waroona showed�great confidence and support for the�Murray Riding Club allowing dozens of�horses riding space on the football�oval, and so close to the beginning of�the football season, they we’re pleased�to find that the grounds were totally�unaffected following the competition,�and I’m sure a little relieved. President�Noeleen was also pleased to say, “We�had the support of local businesses�from the inception of this�event..Raywell Contracting, Charles�Hull Contracting, Schlam Engineering,�Curtis Electrical, Woodbury Plumbing,�KDH Equestrian, Waroona Rural�Services (all Waroona businesses),�plus Dunclees Renovations, & The�Bendigo Bank. The Waroona Football�

Club were more than accommodating�with the provision of lighting for the�event and Waroona Agricultural�Society opened their doors and loaned�us their beautiful newly refurbished�office building on the grounds” Murray�Riding Club Inc Committee would like�to thank everyone who took part in the�event, Wish a huge Congratulations to�all of winners and placegetters and�hope to see you all again next year for�rugs and rosettes galore.

After organising the Casino trips for�many years Dot Hansen, who is not in�good health at present, has decided�to call it a day. Thelma Burston and�Jan Wood have stepped up and will in�future be the new organisers. The�Casino regulars thank Dot for her past�efforts and hope she will soon return�to good health and that she will�continue to join them on the Casino�outings. The next Casino trip is�booked for Monday 4�th� May. Anyone�wanting to book their seat on the bus�should ring either Thelma Burston on�9733 1476 or Jan Wood on 9733�3701. If you want the Casino trips to�continue you must support them. It�was good to see more members at�our monthly meeting but no one came�forward with any suggestions for�outings so it was decided we would�share with the Seniors the outing they�have planned to go to Eaton Fair.�This is booked for Wednesday 15�th�

April. If you would like to go please�make sure you have your name down�

Letter to Editor�I would like to point out to the person�/persons in the vicinity of Millar Street�that, not only did they behave with no�thought for others, by selfishly playing�loud “music” until after 3 am last�Sunday morning (15� t h�) but they were�also breaking the law which decrees�“no excessive noise after 10 pm ”�Not all of us like “music,” and certainly�not other people’s played loudly and�without consideration at any time.�This is not the first time this has�happened but advice from the Police�might prevent it from happening�again.�Name and address provided.�

Well it has been a�pretty full on two�months and I have�never been more proud�of being part of this�awesome community.�Unfortunately there�was a bushfire and loss�

of a home and quite a few other�properties lost out buildings but there�was no loss of life and that is just�amazing. Waroona may be a small�country town but its heart is huge and�the way the community banded�together is something I will never�forget. My personal thanks to the�Waroona Lions Club for keeping me�fed, watered and for the much needed�laughs. You guys and girls are just�awesome!�Thank you�, thank you, thank you to all�the lovely ladies that joined us for our�Postie Fashion Party in February. The�amount of people who turned up blew�us away and we had to send Ambo�Mike off to raid his patio furniture to�bring some much needed chairs.�Thank you to the ambos who supplied�the rather yummy afternoon tea which�was enjoyed by all. Well except for�those of us who missed out due to two�call outs during the afternoon. I was�really looking forward to having�something scrumptious when I got�back but it was all gone! The afternoon�

Skate boards, bikes,�scooters, music and lots of kids are�the order of the day at the Waroona�Recreation Centre Skate & Bike Park.�In the success of the past few years,�back again is Freestyle Now with�Shaun Jarvis running competitions�and giving skill building�demonstrations. The Buz Climbing�Wall will be set up on the outside�basketball courts, setting a great�challenge for all age groups. For the�younger ones or the young at heart,�the place to be may be on the bouncy�castle or Billy the Bucking Bull�provided by Beardy’s Bouncy Castles.�

Also we will feature the Nifty Nook�who specialise in recycled and arty�craft – they will be helping kids to�make and decorate badges and the�Waroona Youth Advisory Council�members will be turning children into�tigers and butterflies with their face�painting skills. Onsite also will be the�GP Down South bus providing�information and promotion of youth�health along and some interactive�activities. The Youth Action Event is�a popular event held every April, it�attracts a crowd of over 200 and there�is something for everyone. During the�evening, the Waroona Youth Advisory�Council, who assist with the�coordination of the event, will provide�a free sausage sizzle, there will also�be drinks available for sale.�Attendees are reminded to bring their�helmets to join in the Freestyle Skate�opportunities. The Shire of Waroona�has some fantastic facilities and it is�wonderful to be able to use them�creatively to give our young people�opportunities and experiences. We�look forward to seeing you at this�great event.�

Joke of the Month�if I die before you?�

One day there was a couple�sitting at a table discussing life.�

The lady asks the man:�” if I die before you will you�

re-marry?“�The man replies “yes!”�

“Will you live in the same�neighbourhood and house?”�“Yes, because it's a nice�

neighbourhood and a very nice�house.”�

“Will you sleep in the same bed?”�“Yes because it's a very�

comfortable mattress”�“ Will you let her use MY golf�

clubs?”�“No because she is left handed!”�

This is our final feature in honour�of our Anzacs on this 100�th�

Anniversary year of their landing�at Gallipoli and their involvement�in “the War to end all wars.” Here�are some photos of local people�who volunteered for the Second�World War. It must be�emphasised that our monthly�feature has been a minute�snapshot of stories of our WA�Volunteers. Many didn’t come�home from the horrors of the�wars in which they fought. Their�names are on the War Memorial in�Waroona. Those who came home�were changed for ever.�

Hazel Koloski – Air Force�

All the pictures are of the�Volunteers who worked at�George Walmsley & Sons,�Waroona. Imagine 15 of your�employees leaving all at once�including the sons Raywood�and George. All these people�came home. There were�many more volunteers from�Waroona and the�surrounding districts too.�

George Walmsley – Army�

Miles Redmond – Air Force�


Doug McKay – Air Force�

The First and Second World�Wars have featured�predominantly however there�are numerous men and women�in this community who fought�in the Korean War and the War�in Vietnam. Even today there�are service personnel from�Waroona in areas of conflict in�the Middle East. We at the�Drakesbrook Despatch salute�you all and hold you in the�highest esteem. Thank you to�the people who contributed to�the articles over the past 12�months, especially the board of�the Waroona Historical Society.�

Title: Holiday travel and a hidden pest�Whether they are grown by�commercial producers or by home�gardeners, many food plants are�vulnerable to attack. A fruit fly from�eastern Australia has not become�established here yet, although�individual specimens have been found�several times. If family or friends are�visiting from interstate, please make�them aware that fruit and vegetables�should be left at home or dropped into�the quarantine bins at the airport or�interstate check points.�Fruit and Vegetable’s worst Enemy�With the exception of pineapple, every�other kind of fruit and many�vegetables are hosts of Queensland�fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni), which has�spread far beyond its home state to�invade New South Wales, Victoria�and some Pacific islands. If fruit is�unprotected the destruction can be�100%, so growers and gardeners in�affected areas have to strive to control�the flies by using a combination of�fruit bagging, spray baiting, mass�trapping and orchard hygiene.�How it spreads�Queensland fruit fly maggots are�carried inside fruit and vegetables.�Quarantine�Western Australia (QWA) examines�all consignments of fresh produce�coming from interstate, to check for�the presence of Queensland fruit fly�and other pests. QWA also has�regulations to deter private travellers�carrying fruit and vegetables when�they enter from interstate by road, rail�or air. All fresh produce must be�

binned upon arrival at State borders.�The Queensland fruit fly is slightly�

bigger than the Mediterranean fruit fly�(Medfly, Ceratitis capitata) with which�many of us are all too familiar. But a�distinct difference in colouring is the�best means of identification. The�thorax is reddish brown with two�yellow “shoulder patches”, the�abdomen is dark brown and the wings�are clear, unlike Medfly which is light�brown in colour, with irregular patches�of black and silver and wings with�brown bands. Most fruit fly activity and�

damage occurs between November�and May, although they may be seen�in cooler months.�Control�As mentioned in January’s edition of�Backyard Buddies, methods to�combat Medfly can be found on our�website agric.wa.gov.au, search�‘Mediterranean fruit fly’. If you suspect�you’ve seen Qfly please contact the�Pest and Disease Information Service�on 1800 084 881 or email a photo to�[email protected].�

If you have a query or want to report�something unfamiliar, ring the Pest�and Disease Information Service�(PaDIS) on Freecall 1800 084 881 or�email�[email protected]� If sending�a specimen include your contact�details, where and when you found�the specimen and any damage you�observed. Post to PaDIS, Department�of Agriculture and Food, 3 Baron-Hay�Court, South Perth WA 6151. You are�also welcome to bring in specimens in�person. For further information visit�www.agric.wa.gov.au�

Teens Enjoy Medieval Demonstration�On Friday night 13 March, Medieval�Fighting came to Waroona! Steve and�Diane Osborne, members of House�Dark Sun and a former Chairperson of�the Perth Medieval Fayre brought�their display to Waroona Youth�Centre. Armour, swords, staff and�shield were on show, and the teens�enjoyed a talk on combat through the�centuries. Steve displayed weapons�from a variety of cultures including�Celtic, Japanese and Middle Eastern,�discussing how they were used in�battle. During a gap in the rain, teens�got an opportunity to try out some�moves with practice “boffer” swords�after being taught “FIVES” – a pattern�of strike and defence moves that�focus on safety. The teens were�grateful to Steve and his wife Diane�for sharing their time and their joy with�us. Steve is interested in forming a�Medieval Fighting Chapter in�Waroona - so if history, weaponry and�fighting medieval style interests you –�

please contact Jo or Lina at the�Waroona Community Resource�Centre on 08 9733 3011 to express�your interest in getting involved!�

If you have rubbish in�your paddocks that stock can access,�now is a good time to fence-off or�remove. If stock are hungry, they may�consume rubbish and become sick or�die. Also cleaning up paddocks before�the rain comes can help prevent toxins�from leaking into the soil or�contaminating waterways. Prepare�

planting of beetroot, broccoli, cabbage,�carrots, coriander, celery, leeks,�lettuce, parsley, parsnips, peas,�radish, silverbeet, spinach, spring�onions, swedes and turnips. As�summer crops are coming to an end,�pick fruit and vegetables to prevent�spoiling and process to keep for later�in the year. Lightly fertilise your�orchards. Proper nutrition will promote�plant growth and pest resistance.�Good multi-purpose granular fertilisers�should be used in small quantities on a�regular basis during the growing�season. Foliar sprays of liquid�fertilisers such as seasol or fish�emulsion are also beneficial during�early autumn. For small landholders in�the south west we will be attending the�Donnybrook Apple Festival, Bunbury�Show Horse and Country Event and�the Balingup Small Farm Field Day in�April. For more information on other�small landholder events, visit our SLIS�Facebook page� (�facebook.com/�DAFWAsmalllandholders)� or website�(�agric.wa.gov.au/slis�) Until next time,�Jodie.�

your property for the rains. If you�haven’t cleaned gutters, downpipes,�tanks and rooves it is worth spending�the time now to prevent gutters and�pipes overflowing and causing�damage. If you are collecting water for�household use or stock water, check�tanks for cleanliness and consider�removing the downpipe to prevent the�first rain from entering tanks and�carrying dirt and debris into your water�supply. If you have waterways flowing�through your property check them for�debris that might have fallen in over�the summer and remove to prevent�damage to fences or flooding caused�by blockages. At the break of the�season regenerating pastures are very�susceptible to grazing pressure. The�germinating pasture varieties are not�locked into the ground and can be�pulled out by the act of grazing and�traffic of livestock over the paddock.�This can also dislodge many plants –�affecting densities and the potential�production of that pasture for the rest�of the season. Autumn is a gardener’s�delight! Prepare garden beds for�

Waroona Veterinary Clinic News – April 2015�The healing power of honey - why Manuka honey is the bee’s knees in wound�

animals with wounds, burns, grazes�and as a general first aid. It is natural�and non-toxic for animals and it is a�non-adherent gel which reduces�trauma at dressing change time.�How�to use Manuka Honey:�Grossly�contaminated wounds should be�lavaged thoroughly first with a sterile�saline. Apply Manuka honey (approx.�3mm layer) directly to the wound or to�a suitable dressing (e.g. on a gauze�dressing under a bandage). Dressing�change frequency will depend on�clinical circumstances. It can vary�from once per day for draining�wounds to up to 7 days for unsoiled�dressings. If wound exudate reaches�the outer layer of the bandage, the�dressing must be changed. Honey�can be used on infected and necrotic�wounds until healed.�Cautions�:-�Honey is not recommended for use in�body cavities or in heavily exudative�wounds. In the event of a slow or non-�responding wound, please seek�veterinary advice.�

Although the medicinal use of honey�for wounds and other traditional�medical therapies dates back to over�6000 years ago, it has recently�experienced revived interest in both�medical and veterinary professions�over the past decade. Due to serious�antimicrobial bacterial resistance�problems, the natural antimicrobial�properties of honey as a healing�agent are now of great interest�medically and has been increasingly�used over the past decade for wound�care. The antimicrobial and wound-�healing properties of all honeys are�due to honey’s very high sugar�content, which forces water out of�bacterial cells, and honey’s natural�acidity which inhibits the growth of�most bacteria. Honey contains a�special enzyme called glucose�oxidase, which breaks down glucose�(sugars) found in the honey itself into�hydrogen peroxide, a well-known�disinfectant. This chemical reaction is�naturally activated when it comes into�contact with the moisture from the�

wound. However, not all honeys are�created equal; Manuka honey is well�known for its special healing properties�and is the honey of choice for medical�purposes. Honey has been found to�have some very beneficial effects on�wounds:� *�Attracts and stimulates�the proliferation and activation of white�blood cells�*�Inhibits microbial growth -�antibacterial� *�Protects the wound�*�Draws lymph into the wound, providing�nutrition and decreasing wound swelling�*�Provides a local source of energy for�healing cells�*�Provides antioxidants�*�Provides a moist environment�*�Accelerates sloughing of devitalised�tissue�*�Stimulates growth of new blood�vessels and connective tissue�*�Allows�formation of a protective layer of protein�over the wound. One honey on the�veterinary market that we use is the�PAW Manuka Wound Gel. It is a sterile�medical grade wound dressing made�from Leptospermum.sp (Manuka) honey�(80%) and natural oils and waxes for�wound management. It is ideal for dogs,�cats, horses and other companion�
