THE D@RD@NUP TIMES

SEPTEMBER 2019

Free

As some of you know, in June this year, my beautiful Dad died after a long, drawn-out journey with Alzheimer's. Although it was long anticipated and expected, his death has left a huge 'empty space' in the life of our family ... and a huge 'hole' in my own heart, too. On Sunday 15 September, it will be 100 days since Dad died. It just so happens that the two Churches in my parish are exactly 10 kilometres apart. So after Mass that Sunday, I’ll set off from Immac-ulate Conception Church in Dardanup and walk to St Louis' Church in Boyanup, for what I'm calling my ... "10k's for 100 Days” – Walking for Dad and Alzheimer's WA. Alzheimer's is a thief. It robs people of their personality, history and relationships. It robs family members of so much of the person they once knew. It seems to be affecting more and more people every year, such that practically everyone knows someone who is living with the condition. Alzheimer's WA do wonderful work supporting both individuals and families impacted by this disease. So if you are able to, please dig deep and sponsor me, to help continue doing this important work. You can donate via my fundraising page: www.mycause.com.au/page/211055/10ks-for-100-days-walking-

for-dad-and-alzheimers-wa

… or just go to mycause.com.au and search “Wayne Bendotti.”

Alternatively, donation collection boxes on the front counter at the Dardanup Post Office and Our Lady of Lourdes School. Every donation is most gratefully appreciated … and no donation is too small!

Oh … and if you’re driving along and see me pounding the pave-ment in preparation or doing the walk on the 15th, feel free to give me a “toot” of encouragement! J

Thank you everyone … and blessings to you all. Father Wayne

Eds Note; lets get behind Father Wayne and assist with his efforts to raise funds for Alzheimers WA

Dardanup Red Cross Celebrates their

80th Birthday

In September 2019 Dardanup Red Cross is

celebrating their 80 th Anniversary since the

inaugural meeting on September 1939. World

War 2 had commenced and there was a need for

assistance for our soldiers and those in need

suffering consequences of war devastation in

UK and other countries Dardanup Red Cross was

formed and began various fundraising events

such as a gymkhana for the district, garden

parties, street stalls, dinners , cards and

many other functions to raise funds. They were

involved in knitting many pairs of socks,

scarves , jumpers to aid the soldiers at the

front. Children too were involved with

knitting and goods, food parcels and clothes

were gathered for those suffering in England.

Members were also involved in gathering

recycled items for sale and medical items

which would have been sent to Darwin when the

War threatened our shores to the north.

Throughout the years Dardanup Red Cross

continued the traditions, fundraising in

various ways to assist those in our country,

droughts, fires ,floods or assisting the

homeless, youth, baby needs, blood banks and

Red Cross shops. Over the years those

benefited from Red Cross support have been

endless.

March Doorknock is a fundraiser that is

supported annually by this community.

We have been ever grateful to our District who

have supported us in any way.

At this present time as we celebrate our 80

th anniversary we are an Auxillary Unit which

means we have little to do with meetings and

fundraising but still collect any donations

received and send off to Red Cross Head

Quarters to be distributed where needed,

especially to those within our state.

We still March on Anzac Day at Dardanup to

honour our fallen soldiers and lay a wreath

and attend Red Cross Rallys of our Area

We would like to carry on as Dardanup Red

Cross but health and age is slowing down our

members and we look like having to close down

as only have 14 honorary members and 2

working members. Honorary members means that

each year in July we pay a membership of $10

per year alternately. & $18 for 2 yrs or $25

for 3 yrs. You are very welcome to become a

honorary member. Contact G Wells c/o post

office Dardanup. We send out a challenge to

anyone willing to step up and renew Red Cross

here in Dardanup.

As we celebrate our Anniversary in a fitting

manner we remember our past members who worked

so tireless for the good of our country and

for their generosity and humanitarian

activities shown when needed.

Thankyou

Gwen Wells

Pam Harris Liaison officers

Eds Note; Grateful thanks for all the work

Dardanup Red Cross has done over 80 years.

Would be wonderful to keep this wonderful

cause and Club going for another 80!

Dardanup Lions Club News

21 Lions and friends spent a memorable couple of hours having a tour of the RFDS Main Base and maintenance centre at Jandakot. We were shown over the operations, training and maintenance facilities and came away very impressed. Although the government pays for the tripage (they don’t charge the patients) money has to be found for equipping facilities and all the other extra costs. To this end they are indebted to Lotterywest, the odd mining company and the general public with their fund raising. They can evacuate patients from as far away as Cocos Islands or as near as Rotto.

Dardanup Environmental Action Group Update

The DEAG and supporters have organised a Honk The Corner in Dardanup every Thursday from 7.30am – 9.00am for the last month. Honks have steadily increased each week. Feel free to join us for as long as you like – banners provided. DEAG are waiting to hear about the 18 appeals submitted by DEAG and community members and the Shire of Dardanup to the EPA regards the EPAs refusal to conduct a full environmental impact assessment on the storing of the lithium tailings at the Cleanaway Landfill site. DEAG is also waiting for Cleanaway to submit the planning application to the Shire which will trigger the JDAP process and DEAG is waiting to hear from DWER with regards to the works application submitted by Cleanaway sometime ago to store the Lithium tailings at their site. This application has been held up due to all parties waiting on the EPA appeal process. The storing of the Lithium tailings wont be approved unless both the DWER Works application and the JDAP Planning application are approved. Approval of 1 of these is not enough for the project to be approved. If the DWER application is approved we have the right of appeal before a final decision is made by the Minister of the Environment. The DEAG have continued to meet weekly to plan and organise our protests and we have had regular meetings with the Shire as well as asking questions before Shire Council meetings.

DEAG have meetings scheduled with politicians Mick Murray, Adele Farina and Don Punch to update them on our concerns and opposition to storing the Lithium tailings at the Cleanaway Landfill site. This will be the 3rd meeting with Mick Murray who in previous meetings has been very supportive of our cause. We have emailed Albemarle on 4 occasions however as yet Albemarle have not agreed to meet with us which is very frustrating. So, we continue to make sure Albemarles name is at the forefront along with Cleanaway when we conduct our protests. Though we want to make it clear that we are not opposed to the Albemarle refinery and the jobs that this will bring to this region – we are strongly opposed to Dardanup being the location that Albemarle and Cleanaway want to dispose of the Lithium tailings. On our facebook page we have detailed why DEAG are opposed to the Lithium tailings being stored at Dardanup due to the chemical makeup of the Lithium tailings once they have been refined. DEAG has made this info available as a flyer in the Dardanup Times which tries to make this easy to follow and explain what the tailings are made up of, where they come from and how they are produced. If you have any queries about any of this don’t hesitate to contact us via our facebook page or email us at dardanup6236@gmail.com

How you can help? Keep talking about this to your neighbours, family and friends- spread the word far beyond Dardanup, join the Honk the Corner, write to your local politician, speak to a Shire Councillor and follow us on facebook so you find out the latest.

In August the South West Rose Society Inc. held their AGM. Elected members are: President: Faye Lewis Vice President: Kevin Molloy - Secretary & Treasurer : Margaret Addison. Following the AGM our guest speaker was Bob Longmore, delivering a most interesting presentation. We were made aware of the decline of insects worldwide, who pollinate anything we intend

to grow and showing us some ways to help their survival by building little hiding spots for them – just drilling small holes in little logs – easy if you know about it. The meeting was followed by a shared social casserole luncheon, enjoyed by all. There won’t be a Meeting in September, which is replaced by a bus-trip north. Our next Meeting will be in October. Keep smelling the Roses. Karin Williams

Matt Launches E- Waste Collection

I have been asked to explain why I have launched the collection service of E-Waste (electronic waste) and other recyclables that are not allowed to be put in any of the wheelie bins. I can tell you that it is not to make a quick dollar, although I have long term plans for a financial sustainable service with financial support from available grants. No, my idea for it is that it is too complicated for households to dispose of these items correctly. And I find it a waste that good reusable elements end up in landfill due to a poor setup for recyclables. Shires expect from people to drive all over the place with this waste without actually knowing where to bring what because it is so complicated. Our shire doesn’t even except E-waste at our local tip, but want you to drive your old tv to Stanley Road Waste Facility (source: https://www.dardanup.wa.gov.au/environment/waste-recycling/electronic-waste). As if that happens, that is almost a two hour round trip from my place… How good is

recycling if 200 people drive around burning fuel in their vehicles to drop off their items all over the place individually? So I thought to roll out an European setup here what is operational for over 30 years in Europe. A centrally located collection service at set times to makes sure items go the right way. We collect and sort it all and pass on recyclables to other organisations who do the right thing with them. Some reusable items we sell or donate as is, some we take apart and sell the elements of it, and most we pass on at no cost. Too much to explain in this publication, therefor we just launched the Facebook page “E-Recovery” to give more information in posts about several streams of recyclables. Please like this page to keep posted. Next collection will be Saturday the 7th of September in front of the Dardanup Town Hall. I am looking forward to see you there and then, Matt Meijer 04 9812 7941

Eds Note; Congratulations Matt on your wonderful initiative.

Locals Achieve 1st Aid Training

Recently 9 locals achieved their St Johns Senior 1ST Aid Certificate. Many thanks to Angela Hegney, Principal of Our Lady of Lourdes PS for allowing the community to use the school facilities for the 1st Aid Course and thanks to Mary Smith for coordinating the course on behalf of the Dardanup and Districts Residents Assoc. You would have noticed that there is a number of defibrillators located around Dardanup. They can be found outside the Dardanup

General Store, outside the Dardanup Central Fire Brigade building next to the Dardanup Hall, inside the Dardanup Hall, outside Dardanup Primary School and the defib that is currently inside the Wells Recreation Park Clubrooms is going to be relocated to an outside wall. The Dardanup Seniors and the Dardanup Lions Club members have all recently participated in workshops learning how to use the defibs. All very important when medical facilities are not located in the townsite and closest ambulance is located at Boyanup.

Wholist Healing Hut Advertisement

My name is Laetitia Storey from Wholistic Healing Hut. I was living what you would call a "normal life", until in 2016, the birth of my second son. At two weeks old, he had severe eczema over his whole body. We soon realized that he had food intolerance, a leaky gut and environmental allergies. Instead of hiding the symptoms by using medicine, I decided to work on him from the inside and out and heal the causes of his health condition. I not only worked on our nutrition and emotions, but I also worked with Reiki and energy healing. In 2004, Reiki came into my life and I have been using it since. My son, has now smooth and beautiful skin due to our new lifestyle. In 2019, I decided it was time for me to put all the knowledge I have gained over the years, together with my passion for Reiki, to not only help my family but to help others. So I decided to open my new home business "Wholistic Healing Hut" for the wellbeing of the community of Dardanup and surroundings.

I am a passionate Reiki practitioner with an alternative approach, and I am dedicated to helping my clients move through a wide range of physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions in the most efficient and transformative way possible. My goal is to help as many people as possible like I helped my son and my family. The benefits of Reiki are: deep relaxation, a speeding up of the natural healing process, ease tension and stress, strengthens immune system, assist weight-loss and lots more. Additionally, I am an active member of the Australian Reiki Connection Inc. This means that I can assure you that each treatment is done professionally and I am following the code of conduct, code of ethics and more. I have a print out of those codes at the hut for you to have a look if you wish too, just ask me for it. Feel free to contact me for more info at whealinghut@gmail.com See my Add on page 10

At Dardanup Primary School, we have an amazing P&C who work hard to support our staff to provide opportunities and experiences for our student body. Some of the great things our P&C have done for us include funding our Nature Playground, running the Food For Thought canteen, running Discos, staffing a stall and the parking at the Bull and Barrel festival and catering for community events. They have supported the purchase of library books and furniture, STEM resources,

playground shade and the School Dance Program. Thank you Dardanup Primary School P&C. Your work makes a positive difference to our school.

I enjoy watching my children grow and develop through each life stage. Being their parent I want to contribute and watch each of these phases to the best of my ability. Volunteering gives me a great sense of enjoyment and my children also enjoy and appreciate us as parents being there. I feel children also lead by example and would like to show my children how contributing back to community is an important part of existing within your own community, being that school, sport or even work.

CELEBRATING OUR P&C

When my daughter started kindy last year, I always said I wouldn't get involved in school "stuff" (P&C) until her brother was at school and they were a bit older. But I honestly just couldn't resist! We are so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful school & it has been so nice getting to know & be a part of our little community.

If you want to join this remarkable group of people, you are more than welcome. Meetings are held on the third and seventh Mondays of term at school commencing at 7:00 pm.

I really enjoy watching kids learn and the way different activities help different kids. I love helping kids in any way to learn, play and achieve their potential. Being involved in the P&C facilitates this.

Thomas Little Hall Walls Returned To Original Render

The Thomas Little Memorial Hall restoration work is progressing well. We have now decided to remove the render from the upper walls due to the fact that the lower wall area came off easily and without causing damage to the bricks face. The render which was carried out in approx 1979 after cyclone Alby was a cement render which caused a retention of moisture in the very porous bricks. The original mortar was a lime mortar and the original render was also a lime render. We will then replace all the wall render with a lime render and a lime wash. This will allow the brick walls to breathe. The sample looks very beautiful. The old toilets at the rear of the TLMH are being completely renovated including a disabled toilet, metal roof and the walls will be rendered to match the TLMH. The "kitchen" is also being renovated inside and with a weather board finish outside as was the original finish. Danny Harris

Ferguson Valley Visitor Centre Sells

Vast Array of Locally Made Gifts

THE FERGUSON VALLEY VISITOR CENTRE in Dardanup has been undergoing quite a facelift this year. The team of volunteers have worked tirelessly to turn this heritage school building not only into a more vibrant tourist information centre, but to also provide locals with an up to date Whats On Information Board so you don’t miss out on all the good things happening nearby. We have also sourced new gift items of jewellery, fashion accessories, soaps, glass, woodwork, metalwork and much more. Local artists and creative individuals are excited about the changes and are keen to help us extend our range of hand made and unique gifts. So, Dardy residents now have a handy Gift Shop – last minute presents for any special occasion on display and waiting to be discovered. Pop in any day between 9.30am and 3.30pm and have a look – you may even be inspired to become our newest Volunteer! Fiona Moriarty – Coordinator for FVVC

Dardanup Playgroup Thrilled With New Cubby

Last year, Dardanup Community Playgroup received a grant from Shire of Dardanup to improve our small playgroup centre providing much needed new play equipment for our kids. The main project was to replace the old cubby house, after discussing with our local builder David Wells, it was agreed replacing this would be cheaper than fixing! So together with David’s help and some playgroup parents, Ben Welsh & Aliesha Normington, they pulled down the old one and built the new cubby house all within a few hours!! So a massive thank you to those three for putting in their own time. In order to get the cubby house to start with we also need to thank Dardanup Lion’s Club for their generous cash donation, Garry & Sharon Utterson of Coastmac Trailers for donating their truck & driver (Mark) to pick up the materials & deliver to our centre and another big help from a playgroup dad, Tim Rowley, in assisting with getting the materials off the truck……. A big thank you to you all. We fitted our cubby house out with new furniture (put together by our playgroup committee members) & pretend play items which the kids are thoroughly enjoying. Other equipment purchased was ride-on cars/bikes, lawnmowers, sand pit toys, prams, dolls & accessories, play mats for inside, soft play foam pieces, building blocks, blackboard flowers, new children chairs and shelving for our back shed to store all our new equipment on. We are so excited to see our little playgroup grow with lots of new members this year and we can’t thank the Dardanup Shire enough in helping us to achieve this goal, we look forward to working with them in the future. Dardanup is a thriving little town full of lots of new families and we hope for more families to join us. 9.30am to 11.30am every Wednesday school terms @ the Dardanup Community Centre, Little Street. Leila Cooper, President, Dardanup Community Playgroup
