Lest We Forget - ANZAC Day 2016
The morning darkness and drizzling rain added to the sombre occasion of the dawn service held at the Boyup Brook War Memorial, attended by approximately 80 people.
Under a brighter sky the morning parade was led by a vintage Morris Minor 1000, the flag bearer, Patrick Reilly and piper, Peter Dearden.
President of the Boyup Brook RSL Sub Branch, Colin Hales, in his address, led the crowd of around 220 through the major battles of time that Australian armed forces have been involved in.
2016 Shire of Boyup Brook Citizen of the Year, Ginny Mitchell address focused on the contributions made by the Aborigines to the war efforts and the consequent injustices of not recognising and the lack of acknowledgement of their involvement.
The Aborigines were taken to the Boer War as horse handlers and trackers. While they were good at what they did their names did not appear on any shipping manifest and there were even groups that were left behind. Many were rejected when they tried to enlist and then arrested for moving from their homelands. Many had to hide their aboriginality to sign up. Others went off to war only to come home to find their homelands divided up for war settlement blocks for returned soldiers – but not for them.
From a 1942 Daily News article Ginny retold the story of how a Dutch plane, bombed by the Japanese, crash landed near Broome. An Aboriginal man, Jerrie Dardan of the Bardi tribe, saved most of the survivors by giving them his meagre rations and water. After guiding them to permanent water Jerrie made all speed to a native mission forty miles away and joined in the rescue party which brought all the survivors to safety. Both the Dutch authorities and the West Australian Government rewarded him for what he did.
This story brought back memories for a Boyup Brook person whose mother’s first husband died from his injuries in this very accident.
Ginny said, “It is disappointing and a real tragedy that all Governments have been neglectful in addressing the war effort made by Aborigines earlier and leaving the Aborigines to cope and defend for themselves.”
To complete the ceremony Bush Poet, Ron Evans recited ‘The Poem of Remembrance’ and the choir sang ‘Going Home’.
Afterwards a simple wreath laying ceremony was held at the Upper Blackwood Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital.

Welcome to the May edition of The Boyup Gazette.
The weather is cooling off, meaning winter is not far away! The colours of autumn are pretty spectacular in this part of the world, with plenty of green grass, the leaves of the trees changing and with a bit of smoke in the air, we’ve also seen some amazing sunsets recently.
Term 2 has commenced for our schools, which also means that a number of other groups who recess during the holidays resume their activities. I hope you had a good break.
I personally managed a few days away in a South West Shire which has a three bin waste management program - general rubbish, recycling and organic waste. The organics bin is collected weekly with the general and recycling alternating fortnightly. It is great that we now have recycling bins in Boyup, but imagine how much less could go into general rubbish with an extra organics bin! Food for thought.
Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Mums on the 8th.
Cheers, Jodi PS - there are less than 100 days until the Olympics! I’m excited!

Easter Shindig at Harvey Dickson’s
For those who braved the wet weather over Easter, it was a toe tapping good show at Harvey Dickson’s Country Music Centre, Boyup Brook where the sound of ‘Country’ could be heard from Friday night through to the end of Saturday and starting again at breakfast time Sunday.
With crowd favourites, Gypsy Chicks, Kristy and Paul, Campfire Country and the Pale Moon Riders the audience was making the most of the dance floor and the warm shed.
The Gypsy Chicks, Sandy and Donna, are veterans in the country music circles and this mother and daughter duo love entertaining.
David and Therese Higginson of Campfire Country only took to music as a full-time role in retirement and have quickly gained a great following in the South West.
It was a family affair with Larry and Wendy Woods of Country Horizon performing as well as son, Chad now doing his own show.
Sunday started with the Poets’ Breakfast followed by the visiting Square Dancers putting on an amazing display of dancing and colour as the skirts twirled to the beat of the music.
The Easter, Harvey Dickson’s Country Music Show has now taken the place of the September Long weekend show.
“We feel that though numbers were down this year due to the inclement weather those who came had a wonderful time,” said Rose Dickson, “as did the large number of campers who stayed to enjoy the music and surrounds.”

BOYUP BROOK POLICE
Traffic Issues Boyup Brook Police recently conducted numerous traffic operations over Easter, School holiday and ANZAC long weekend. As a whole most road users were very good but unfortunately we still have some people who think road rules don’t apply to them. The roads are there for everyone to use so please be safe and patient whilst obeying the road rules. Boyup Brook Police want to see everyone return home safely to their families.
Boyup Brook Police will continue to be out on our roads and Highways in a effort to combat any traffic issues so please make sure you drive safe, stay within the speed limit, always wear a seatbelt , don’t use your mobile phone whilst driving and please don’t drink and drive.
If you think you might be over the limit you most probably are. It’s a lot better for everyone to get a lift home than to not arrive home at all.
If you see something you think is not safe or right please contact Boyup Brook Police.
Damage Offences We have had some minor damage and graffiti being caused around town specifically in Sandakan Park. If anyone has any information in regards to the damage or graffiti please contact Boyup Brook Police.
Boyup Brook Police Station Some of you may have noticed some changes happening at the Police Station. The poor station is looking a bit tired and drab so I have decided to try and give it a bit of a face lift. If anyone has any plants, stones or garden items they no longer want Boyup Brook Police will kindly accept any donations. If we are out the front of the station working on the gardens please feel free to drop in to say hello and have a quick chat. Its always nice to get to know your local Police.
Blue Light Boyup Brook Police can report another successful Blue light event on the 18th of March 2016. The Pool party attracted approximately 50 children and parents . Senior Constable GAUGG would like to thank volunteers who helped out on the night.
The next event being held is on Sunday 1st of May 2016. The Laser Tag competition which involves teams of 15 battling each other with Laser guns in 20 minute rounds. Areas and courses will be set up at the Country Music Park and I am sure a fun day will be had by all who attend.

I bring to your attention Avenues of Honour deserve special protection.
To vandalise or remove trees planted in honour of Soldiers fallen is an insult, and to be abhorred.
For those who don’t know; such action carries a maximum prison term of three months.
As school children we watched the Avenues of Honour planted throughout our town of Boyup Brook on Arbour Day; after having being addressed why in class. Lives lost in bravery and living memorials planted in symbolism.
Lest we forget.
Now and in recent times a spirit of disrespect has invaded our Avenues of Honour. Foreign deciduous trees that don’t give the appearance of a living memorial and other prostrate shrub have been broken the memories of the fallen who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Lest we Forget. – A soldier going to defend his people and his country once said: - “If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep.”
We are going to embark on a plan of rejuvenation, renovation and reparation of Avenues of Honour in Boyup Brook and join in with other towns across our country that have taken the lead and set the honourable example.
Lest we Forget. With Respect,
Doug Corker

Second Fox Shoot
During the weekend of 8 to 10 April, the Boyup Brook community had another fox shoot.
Everyone got together on the Sunday morning at the Boyup Brook Pistol Club for breakfast and to count and weigh the loot.
A total of 73 foxes, 1 cat, 24 rabbits and 3 pigs were killed. This brings the total number of foxes shot for this year to 539.
If each fox only kills five lambs in the lambing season, we have saved 365 lambs and at a value of $100 per lamb, that equates to $36,500.
Every little bit helps. Thank you to everyone who participated in the shoot. Thank you also to the Pistol club for putting on breakfast for all.
After the withdrawal of the Stockbrands’ sponsorship last year, we are very glad to share that the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia will be taking over the sponsorship.
For every fox and every cat shot during the fox shoot weekends, they will donate $5 towards the RFDS.
See you again next year and good luck with the lambing season.

The third Lions Giant Pumpkin Festival was held on Saturday 2 April at the Boyup Brook District High School middle school oval on a glorious early autumn day.
Apart from the huge pumpkins there were various categories of vegetable growing – all giant size.
Pumpkin-seed spitting, pumpkin rolling, gum boot-tossing all provided good-natured competition and a few near misses. Visitor numbers were significantly up on 2015, itself an improvement on 2014.
In the heaviest giant pumpkin section there was a gratifying increase in local entrants, whose entries were bigger, heavier and odder than last year. Two local giant pumpkins that did not win weighed in at 116.7kg and 104.3kg.
Entrants came from as far as Dwellingup and Albany.
Stalls included a lolly stall, arts and crafts, icecream van, the Boyup Brook Men’s Shed and the annual P&C pig poo trailer. As usual, the Lions Lucky Dip was very popular, with everyone a winner.
Children were entertained by the all-day free bouncy castle and the Manjimup Lions train driven by Lion and Shire Councillor, Tom Oversby. The financial support of the Shire of Boyup Brook made entertaining children possible, and there certainly seemed to be no lack of takers on both the bouncy castle and the train.
A major sponsor-in-kind is Boyup Brook District High School and the Lions gratefully thank Ms Anne Klaassen, Principal, for the use of school facilities. Without this, the festival would be so much more difficult to hold.
“The festival was aided considerably by our sponsors some of whom have supported the festival since the beginning,” said Lion, Jamie Mawer.
Plans are already being developed for next year, so look out for how to prepare the ground and when to plant your giant pumpkin. For giant pumpkin seeds, please contact Boyup Brook Lions.
Take note of the categories and come and try your luck next year and practice pumpkin rolling, seed spitting and welly tossing.

Transition pack 1 is now available. The first new law Transition Pack is now available online and includes information about: changes to make when the new law commences; what your association’s financial reporting tier will be; and transitional requirements to update the rules. We encourage all associations to circulate this information to all committee members – or maybe even your whole membership! www.commerce.wa.gov.au/publications/associations-transition-pack-1
A copy of our information session - Making the Change: Introduction to the Associations Incorporation Act 2015 is now available to watch online. This 45 minute presentation provides information about: how the new laws will impact existing incorporated

year transition period. www.commerce.wa.gov.au/consumer -protect ion/v ideo-new-associations-law-presentations
Grants For Regional Artists
Regional arts funding of around $7 million is made available each year by the Department of Culture and the Arts (DCA) and Royalties for Regions.
Member for Warren-Blackwood, Terry Redman said funding and support existed for a range of artistic activities across Western Australia and encouraged regional residents, businesses and community groups to make themselves aware of the grants programs.
Mr Redman said the grants programs supported a huge range of artistic opportunities, including new exhibitions, regional touring, sponsorship opportunities, and infrastructure upgrades.
“Grants of up to $15,000 are available year round, while key deadlines for larger grants are available on the DCA website,” Mr Redman said.
Mr Redman said support for the arts was one of the many ways The Nationals WA and Royalties for Regions are building vibrant and sustainable regional communities.
“Royalties for Regions has made a $24 million commitment to regional culture and the arts from 2015 to 2018. This funding is giving regional residents more opportunities to access the arts, develop and improve their skills, and bring new and exciting exhibitions and performances to the regions.”

New Program Manager for BBG
The Blackwood Basin Group (BBG) welcomes new Program Manager, Brian Chambers to their team.
Brian will be replacing Felicity Della Gola while she is on maternity leave from mid-April.
Brian is an animal scientist who has spent the past several years working as a research scientist and lecturer at the University of Western Australia.
Brian’s background is in wildlife conservation and he has worked on numerous projects aimed at improving the conservation of native fauna and the long term sustainability of road and urban developments for native wildlife.
Brian’s role with the BBG will be to oversee the organisation’s ongoing projects and to develop new projects and partnerships with funding agencies, land owners and corporate partners.
“I’m really looking forward to working with the BBG to help improve both the conservation of native biodiversity and the sustainability of agriculture in the Blackwood River catchment,” said Brian.
“Being able to come back and work in the town where I grew up is also really exciting for me.” Brian hopes to relocate his young family to Boyup Brook in the near future and is looking forward to spending more time on the family farm in Kulikup.
The BBG would like to thank Felicity for her tireless work as Program Manager and wish her all the best wi th the new chal lenges of parenthood. Above: Brian Chambers

UBAS Update
A new record was set this month – the longest meeting ever!! Yes! It was the schedule revision meeting where every word is mulled over.
Thank you to all the people who presented changes for various Sections – it is much appreciated. This is obviously a long way out from Show Day but there are lots of changes – Floriculture and Wool being examples – so please don’t leave getting your entries in until the last minute because you may find there isn’t a class for them!
Roger Andrews has again supported the Show with the ‘Andrews Challenge’ being moved into the Cookery Section for the next three years, cakes being the special item.
A reminder for our young folk in the district – now is the time for applications for the Rural Ambassador competition to be submitted. Do contact Harris Thompson as he is managing it this year. You could also ask Sara Weir what it is all about and she will tell you how much fun it was. The Agricultural Society is very proud of the fact that there has only been one occasion when we were not represented since the inception of the competition.
Produce is the Feature for the Year so start planning what grains and clovers, etc. you are going to grow and encourage the children as they love getting their hands dirty and seeing things grow.
However, even before that there is something for the students to do: design the schedule cover using the Produce Feature as the theme. Details will be available through the schools.
The Grounds Committee will have met by the time this goes to print but ideas for improvements will be welcomed; please contact Sara Weir or Anne Ritson.

Census Recruiting Now
Up to 2,300 Census Field Officers are needed across Western Australia. Make a difference in your community and join Australia’s largest logistical peacetime operation—the 2016 Census of Population and Housing.
This year’s Census is on August 9, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is looking for dedicated, enthusiastic self-starters to fill more than 2,300 Field Officer positions across Western Australia. If you’re tech-savvy, know your community well and are eager to make a difference, the ABS wants to hear from you.
Working on the Census is a great way to contribute to your community. The data you help collect provides an important statistical snapshot of Australia. It supports planning, policy and funding decisions for a range of local services and infrastructure—from housing and transport to health and education.
A few things have changed since the last Census. In 2016, most households will receive a letter giving them a unique login number and instructions on how to complete the Census online. Approximately 65 per cent of households are expected to complete the Census online however paper forms will still be available for households who need them.
Field Officers play a critical role by visiting households, encouraging online participation and ensuring everyone makes the count. And as a Field Officer, you’ll earn around $21 per hour, receive motor vehicle allowances and enjoy flexible working hours. You will also be responsible for daily administrative tasks and the security of Census materials.
You’ll need to be a good communicator, reasonably fit, licensed to drive and willing to travel and work independently. Field Officers will also need to have access to home computer and internet.
The positions are part-time and most of the work will be conducted during August and September. People from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
For more information or to apply, go to www.abs.gov.au/careers. You can also follow the Census on Facebook and Twitter. Applications open on Monday, 2 May.

W.I.F.E. Information Day
As a follow up to the presentation made at the 2016 Rylington Park ‘Storm in a Teacup’ Women’s Day, the Boyup Brook CRC presents a free Women in Farming Enterprises information day on
Friday, May 27 from 9:45am-2:30pm. A light lunch will be included and child minding is available (places limited).
Bookings are essential, so please phone the CRC on 9765 1169 or email [email protected] to register.
Come along to find out more about W.I.F.E. and how it works. There may also be an opportunity to form a local branch in Boyup Brook.
WHAT IS WIFE? The roles of women on farms are significant and varied. Professional support and training to fulfil all of these roles is often unavailable, because courses can’t usually offer what is required, or it is unattainable due to the distance and time needed to attend. This is where WIFE steps up.
WIFE’s essence is to tap into the wealth of knowledge that is your neighbour, your friend, your friend’s friend, the lady up the road, the new girl in town or the wing attack on your local netball team and if the expert required isn’t available locally, they simply truck them in!
Everyone is welcome, no matter what your role on the farm or your level of experience. There is no pressure to join, but plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.
This Event is supported by the South West Catchments Council’s Regional Landcare Facilitator Programme,
through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Programme.

Its looking like a great season break for much of the south west, and wild rabbits will be rubbing their furry paws together with glee. Feral cats will be dreaming of fat wild rabbits to fatten their own wild kittens. Foxes will be dreaming of lovely healthy lambs. And those gleeful wild rabbits will be dreaming of soft new native bush, juicy re-vegetation projects, garden makeovers and succulent crops.
However, the Department of Agriculture and Food and the Invasive Animals Community Research Centre have other plans and are seeking community help with their latest wild rabbit biocontrol weapon.
As part of a National programme to boost wild rabbit control, they will be in Western Australia for a hectic 4 day‘ RABBIT ROADSHOW’ tour, visiting Albany, Bremer Bay, Katanning, Bridgetown, Bunbury, Harvey, Geraldton and Mingenew in the last week of May.
Blackwood Biosecurity Inc. will host the free RABBIT ROADSHOW at the Bridgetown Town Hall on Wednesday 25th May, 2016 where “RHD BOOST, a 20-year national bio-control project involving the release of a new, naturally occurring overseas strain of rabbit calicivirus (RGDV K5 or K5), will be explained.
The Bridgetown Roadshow will be a great opportunity for lower south west landowners to learn about the project, ask questions and find out how they can be involved.
New Virus Strain to Control Rabbits K5 is not a new virus, but a Korean strain of the existing calicivirus already widespread in Australia. K5 should boost the effectiveness of bio-control because it is better suited to the wetter, cooler regions of the South West where the current strain has not been as successful.
Like other RHDV1 variants, it is not infectious to any other species except the European rabbit, and a vaccine is available for pet rabbits.
Blackwood Biosecurity will combine the Rabbit Roadshow with a Biosecurity Expo in the Bridgetown Town Hall, explaining local projects, providing an overview of changes and new directions in invasive weed and feral animal legislation and control in the State and to hear about your specific local issues.
The Rabbit Roadshow and Biosecurity Expo is at the Bridgetown Town Hall on Wednesday 25th May.
The Roadshow will start at 8.50am sharp, so be there by at least 8.30am for a hot drink and registration.
This completely free day is open to everyone and includes morning and afternoon teas and light lunch…..If you let us know you are coming!!!
So please register now for catering purposes at: [email protected] phone or text Sheila Howat on: 0475 774 558

Activities Aplenty at Rylington Park At the recent Rylington Park Annual General Meeting on 5 April, all positions on the committee were declared vacant and the new committee is as follows:
Matt Chambers – Chairman Peter Reid – Vice Chairman Graham Aird Paul Omodei Steve Thompson Richard Turner Alex Coole Charles Caldwell
Rylington Park will be hosting a mulesing workshop on Wednesday, 8 June. Everyone is welcome to come and learn the skill or just come and touch up on your skills. We will also have time to focus on the sharpening of your mulesing sheers. Afternoon tea and refreshments will be provided.
For more info contact Erlanda on 9765 3012 or 0429 375 609.
Chairperson’s Report - April 2016
Rylington Park has enjoyed a good season over the last twelve months and with good commodity prices, we are in a very sound financial position.
We have been fortunate to obtain funding from AWI for Shearing Schools and this has enabled us to conduct eight, one week shearing schools in the last year. Around one hundred students have taken part. We thank AWI for their support.
Crop and pasture trials are continuing at Rylington Park as part of our programme.
During the year we have hosted workshops, field days and our very successful Ladies’ Day. However the attendance at our Mens’ Day was disappointing, even though we had excellent speakers.
We are continuing to sponsor young Boyup Brook students who wish to attend an Agricultural college with a one thousand dollar scholarship. This is part of our commitment to foster agriculture among young people in Boyup Brook.
This year we are also pleased to be sponsoring the Boyup Brook Playgroup to help with their fundraising.
We have continued to upgrade at Rylington with a new silo and silo pad, and some ore renovations to the house. Two bedrooms have been upgraded with plastering repairs, painting, new floor coverings and built-in-wardrobes. In the near future we plan to upgrade the kitchen and bathroom.
I would like to thank my committee for their dedication over the last twelve months. Paul Broockmann and Paul Goerling have retired from the committee and I would like to thank them for their past support. Peter Reid and Alex Coole have been appointed as their replacements and now join Charles Caldwell, Mathew Chambers, Graham Aird, Steve Thompson and Paul Omodei on the committee.
I would also like to thank our manager, Mark Deas and Erlanda for their continued support.
My personal view is that, as Rylington Park is owned by the people of Boyup Brook, and is becoming more financial, we should be proactive and budget for supporting some major project within the town in the future.

Shine a Light on Road Safety
Road Trauma Support WA is joining with the Road Safety Commission to Shine a Light on Road Safety in 2016 to highlight the devastating impact of road trauma on thousands of Australians each year. The campaign will be run during Yellow Ribbon National Road Safety Week which runs from 2-8 May 2016 across the country.
It is a timely reminder given the recent horrific road crash statistics that WA has recorded already for 2016. The Road Safety Commission’s report for the first quarter of 2016 revealed that 52 people died on our roads between January 1 and March 31st – with young males, those in country areas and motorcycle riders over-represented in the crash data.
Road Trauma Support is asking all motorists to Shine a Light on Road Safety by switching on their headlights on Friday May 6th to raise awareness about road safety and to share the hashtag #shinealightonroadsafety.
Road Trauma Support WA’s Patron and the director of the WA State Trauma Unit at Royal Perth Hospital, Dr Sudhakar Rao has thrown his support behind the campaign as it works to try to effect positive behavioural changes on our roads. “I personally treat the physical devastation that road trauma wreaks on far too many people in our community. If we can all Shine a Light on Road Safety I know that together we can all make a difference,” Dr Rao said.
Shine a Light on Road Safety is a national campaign to raise awareness about road safety, to try and stop deaths and injuries on our roads and to highlight the effects on the thousands in our community affected by road trauma each year.
One of the key messages for Shine a Light on Road Safety 2016 is to #stopdrivingblind and Western Australians are asked to share the hashtag across various social media channels.
Road Trauma Support WA is a free service offering support to all West Australians directly or indirectly affected by road trauma.
Please join in the campaign and turn on your headlights on Friday May 6 and #shinealightonroadsafety #rtswa #stopdrivingblind.
A MOTHER...
When you're a child she walks before you,
To set an example.
When you're a teenager she walks behind you
To be there should you need her.
When you're an adult she walks beside you
So that as two friends you can enjoy life together..

Garden Club Cuttings
Our garden visit for this month was to Fiona
Thomas’s garden on Asplin Siding Road. It was a
pretty wet day, but this did not deter a hardy bunch of about
twenty garden lovers.
Fiona gave a short talk about her garden and then we had a
walk around, with Fiona able to tell us the names of most of the
plants just from memory, and her love of West Australian native
plants was evident. Most of the garden is planted straight into
the soil, as there is not much gravel and rocks as with a lot of
gardens in Boyup.
There were agapanthus, rosemary, huge grevilleas (misty pink
and robin Gordon) that obviously love the soil and have grown
four times the size that they would normally grow to, hakeas,
callistemon, brushbox, Albany woolly bush, peppermint trees,
wedding bush, and eucalypts, and heaps of other native plants.
Another feature of the garden is a hardenbergia growing over
an archway.
A small pond area to attract frogs, an area of lawn and vege
gardens were also shown to us. With so many native plants
dripping with flowers the birds were having a field day. We all
sheltered from the rain with cuppa on Fiona’s huge verandah
overlooking the garden, Thanks Fiona.
Our next meeting / visit will be to Jo Sanders garden, Lee
Steere Drive, Tuesday 10 May, make your way there or meet at
Shire ready to leave at 1:30pm. Please bring a cup, chair,
plants to swap.

Picnic Places in Autumn Now the weather is cooling down, what better time to try out the picnic spots around Boyup Brook?
One beautiful spot is located at Jayes Bridge, which is found along Jayes Road—a gravel road that connects the Boyup Brook—Kojonup Road to the Boyup Brook—Bridgetown Road. Picturesque and serene for most of the year, this site buzzes with activity during the annual Blackwood Marathon in October, when hundreds gather to picnic and view the swimmers competing.
For more details, call into the Boyup Brook Visitor Centre for information sheets on camping and picnic sites in the Boyup Brook district.

Dr Colin M. Parkes said, ‘Grief is the price we pay for love.’ The more you love someone, the more you grieve their death.
Shock, disbelief, confusion, depression, emptiness and anger are all part of the process. When Jesus arrived at the home of Lazarus, His friend had been dead for four days and his sister Martha was upset. She wanted to know why Jesus hadn’t come sooner, or prevented it altogether.
‘Why, Lord?’ It’s a question we ask when we’re overwhelmed with grief.
And what was Jesus’ response? The Bible says that seeing Mary and the other mourners, ‘Jesus wept.’ And when He did, He made it ok for you to grieve too! Tears don’t represent a lack of faith; they just mean you’re human.
The One who gave you the ability to love understands sorrow and loss—that’s why He gave you tears.
How do we mourn?
One counsellor says: ‘Awkwardly. Imperfectly. Usually with a great deal of resistance. Often with anger and attempts to negotiate…
We flounder through kicking and screaming, until we reach that peaceful state called acceptance.’ But acceptance doesn’t
mean giving in to despair, because ‘the parting is for a moment and the reunion is for eternity.’ Paul says:
‘We will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality … then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”’ 1 Corinthians 15:51–54 Submitted by Sandie Blakiston.

“ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL!”
I thought Id go a-walking,
So set off at a steady pace.
Away out there, in the good fresh air,
To no particular place!
But looking down, I soon found,
And gave myself a shock,
I’d forgotten to finish dressing,
And had not donned my frock!
So could you give me your advice,
Or perhaps some vital clues,
As to why I had on stockings,
And forgot my shoes!
My neighbours raised their eye-brows,
And car-drivers tooted their horn!
I wondered if my brain had slept,
Since the day that I was born!
So I in haste did then retreat,
And headed straight for home! –
To gather up my senses –
And never more to roam!
“DO YOU KNOW WHO!”
There’s a lady at our Residence,
Who has the most amazing sense,
Of shifting things from here to there,
With evident changes everywhere!
The settee once was in the Hall,
And now it isn’t there at all!
And the sofa’s once were in the Lobby,
But she gets busy with her hobby!
And these magazines, once on stand,
Have moved, it seems to another land!
She says we mustn’t ‘er succumb,
To boredom which might easily come.
This has us all a bit perplexed –
Whatever will she be moving next!!
But we all vow not to complain,
When the furniture is moved again!
It causes us no small elation,
To debate it in our conversation.
Yes, even if there’s much comment,
As to where the dining table went!!
“THIS TOWN”
Have you ever been to Boyup Brook,
In Western Australia’s great South West?
It’s the friendliest town one might find,
Tis know as one of the very best!
With kindly folks and good commerce –
It’s shops with goods arrayed.
A hospital near, police-station too.
Sporting clubs with trophies displayed.
Farmers all round, with pioneer blood,
Came here to settle on the land,
Social clubs and Craft venues,
And established Banks on hand.
So if you haven’t been before,
We say ‘Come along’ and see,
So good a town is hard to find,
And how welcome you will be!

Hockey Corner
Women: April 9 Boyup Brook 1 defeated Boyanup 0 The Boyup Bandits, with fantastic player numbers and some new recruits, had a winning start to their season. It was a tough match with the Bandits performing strongly all over the field. Goal: Helen Gandy Best: Jodi Nield, Steph Waters, Tara Reid
April 16 Eaton Eagles 3 defeated Boyup Brook 0 The match lived up to expectations being hard and fast. The Boyup defence made some crucial tackles and managed to hold out the Eaton attack until well into the second half. Unfortunately Mary-Anne Inglis suffered an ankle injury, sending her from the field to join Tara Reid who was injured in the previous week’s match. Best: Jodi Nield, Mel Waters, Steph Waters
April 23 Marist 3 defeated Boyup Brook 0 Again the Bandits faced a tough opponent in Marist and like the previous match, held them out until the second half when a freakish goal seemed to lift the Bunbury side. The Bandits were able to string several positive attacking moves together giving them confidence going into the next few games. Best: Jodi Nield, Fleur Mead, Helen Gandy
Juniors: Numbers for junior hockey are looking fantastic this year with three teams competing locally for the first time in a number of seasons. We welcome all new players to our Club!

Roos News
On April 2, the Boyup Roos kicked their season off with a game against Kojonup. With the Reserves side going in undermanned, they came second quite convincingly. The League side had a full side, the match was fought out with skill and hardness for the ball by both teams. Unfortunately a few turnovers in the last quarter cost the Roos a win. On the same day, we had the unveiling of a park bench dedicated to Bob Whitton for his long time service to the football club.
The next game was at home against Bridgetown on April 9. With a full 16 taking the field in the Reserves, Bridgetown got the jump on us in the first half. After the half time break, the Roos came out and put up a great display of football, only to be out scored by two points in the second half. In the League match, the boys fought hard all day, not giving up once. The side let the game slip in the last quarter with some unfortunate turnovers.
April 16 saw the Roos head to Manjimup to take on Tigers, where unfortunately both sides came second. Both sides fought hard all day but were unable to come up with the goods. Both sides are on the brink of their first win with numbers increasing each week.
A busy bee was held out at Peter Lloyd’s at the start of the month and it was wonderful to see so many people come out and give us a hand. Was a great turn out, thanks to all involved.
Our sponsors’ day will be held on June 11. We will be having light refreshments throughout the afternoon with a meal in the evening and activities for the kids. Auskickers will be playing at half time of the League game also against the Tigers. Please come along for what will be a fantastic family day out.
With the sun shine strongly on our first two games at home it was great to see families filling the sideline and kicking the football around at quarter time.
Our next home game is on the 14th of May against Kojonup, with the juniors starting 8.30am the day will be full of football entertainment. With the League starting at 2pm we should be in for a good match. If you find yourself with nothing to do, come on down to the oval with your deck chair and family and support the Roos. Even if it is raining, the clubrooms are open and the fire will be alight. There will also be an AFL game on the big screen. Go the Roos.

Royalties for Regions is continuing to support regional sporting clubs with the latest round of the Community Sporting Club Equipment Subsidy Scheme now open.
Member for Warren-Blackwood, Terry Redman said the program allows regional sporting clubs across WA to apply for a $500 grant to spend on sporting equipment for the club.
“To date, more than 890 regional sporting clubs have received $445,000 through the Community Sporting Club Equipment Subsidy Scheme,” Mr Redman said.
“The grants are a great way of giving back to sporting clubs, who provide more than just an outlet for physical activity in regional communities.
“Sporting clubs can also provide an important social outlet, foster the development of our regional youth, and help people of all ages to remain physically active, mentally healthy and engaged in their community.”
Mr Redman said the $500 subsidies can be spent on equipment such as balls, bats, racquets, bibs, protective gear, team uniforms, First Aid kits, shade tents and safety gear.
“Having new and easily accessible equipment also makes it easier for clubs to attract new players to their sport, helping new people to get involved and further benefiting the community and the club,” Mr Redman said.
“Sporting equipment is expensive and this investment provides support for regional residents to remain active,” Mr Redman said. “Royalties for Regions recognises that sporting clubs are close to the heart of thriving regional communities.”
Administered by the Department of Sport and Recreation, the four-year scheme will deliver $1 million to regional clubs.
For more information and to apply visit www.dsr.wa.gov.au/club-equipment. Applications close May 13, 2016.
The latest round of the Athlete Travel Subsidy Scheme is now open, supporting young regional sports stars to travel and attend sporting events and training opportunities across WA and nation-wide.
Nationals Member for the South West Region, Colin Holt, said the program was helping to take the burden off regional athletes and their families and allowed them to concentrate on their sport.
“Talented athletes aged 13 to 21 are being supported in their quest to be the best when attending regional, state and national level training and events, thanks to the Athlete Travel Subsidy Scheme and Royalties for Regions,” Mr Holt said.
“Grants are available from $150 up to $1,000 depending on the level of event and the distance required for travel, and the funding can be used to help support any out-of-pocket travel and accommodation costs.”
Since the program started, 887 regional athletes have benefited from $624,106 in funding assistance from the Athlete Travel Subsidy Scheme and Royalties for Regions.
Mr Holt said the initiative was supporting the next generation of WA’s sports stars. “Regional WA is home for many of Australia’s sporting greats, and it’s important for Royalties for Regions to support this investment into our young athletes to help them reach their full potential on the field, in the pool, on horseback, in the surf or wherever their chosen sport takes them.”
Minister for Sport and Recreation, Mia Davies MLA, said a total of $1.75 million from Royalties for Regions was earmarked to support the Athlete Travel Subsidy Scheme over four years.
“Promising young Western Australian athletes face unique challenges, with the distances they have to travel to compete and increase their skills and abilities being significantly larger than other states,” Ms Davies said.
Application for the Athlete Travel Subsidy Scheme close on May 13 2016.
