What can be done about a street that�had a name that now doesn’t have�one? This is not a small, insignificant�connecting Street, it is a major�connecting Highway that has been�de-named, now waiting for a new one!�The Old Bunbury Road, between�Lake Clifton and North Coolup, 26.5�km suffered major surgery when the�new Forrest Highway, sliced it in half,�ending up with two Old Bunbury�Roads, creating havoc amongst�frustrated tourists, delivery persons,�Emergency Services and the Postal�Service. The Waroona Shire recently�ran a competition to re name the road�between the Forrest Highway and�Lake Clifton 5.3 Km, using only the�four names suggested by the Shire.�The LOCAL choice is Lake Clifton�Road. (not on offer by the Shire).�Proposal 1 KULARDA Road -�Peppermint Tree�Proposal 2 WONNIL Road - River�Swamp Gum�Proposal 3 THROMBOLITE Road -�Ancient Rock Formations�Proposal 4 No change�No announcement has been made but�for my two bob’s worth:�Old Bunbury�Road- West�, just about nails it! The�Old Bunbury Road� was the original�track between Perth and Bunbury,�known then as just the Bunbury Road,�

long before the South West Highway�(1890 when the railway came) and the�Old Coast Road. The rest area, at�Peppermint Grove, was established�before the 1870's when building of�hostel/lodgings/change rooms and�bathhouse (added later for the�'executive' traveller) were first�established by John Foreacre�(�Foreacre Street)�, the foundations�today can still be seen at the highway�end of Peppermint Grove Road. This�area was the Horse Team change for�the Stagecoach, Cobb & Co., who�operated the Southwest service on�behalf of the WA Government. The�service was unreliable as coaches�would typically wait at Perth or Bunbury�until they were full or had passengers�(which would sometimes take several�hours) and then depart. A team of tired�horses pulled an English-built coach�which was designed for short trips on�cobbled roads, bumped and jolted its�way over bush tracks. In bad weather,�services stopped altogether because�tracks were so overused and boggy�making them impassable. During winter�it was not uncommon for horses to�stand up to their bellies, or coaches up�to their axles, in wet sand. The hard�limestone around Peppermint Grove�area, was a welcome relief for teams to�easily stop and start.�

News From Father Jay�

Welcoming new people into our�parish community is part of our�Catholic tradition. What is RCIA? The�Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults�(RCIA) is a process in which�interested adults gradually become�members of the Roman Catholic�Church. Becoming a Catholic is a big�step. It is literally a life changing�experience and one which should not�be entered into lightly. There are�several stages and ritual steps in the�RCIA process. As a formal time of�enquiry is set up in our parish, it will�provide opportunities for enquirers to�question and explore many different�aspects of the Catholic faith.To�register for the Enquiry Session�Tuesday August 5�th� 10:00 – 11:30am�please ring Fr Jay 9733 1225 or Del�9733 1201. Waroona Catholic Parish.�

WAY OF LIFE�The Apostle Paul�

wrote some�wonderful words�to a Church in�

Rome many years�ago and told them�“therefore, being�made right with�

God by faith, we have peace with�God through our Lord Jesus.”�What a privilege to have such peace�through faith, which is a total trust in�Christ. If we trust Him we not only�have “peace with God,” but also we�can experience the “peace of God”�which shall “keep your hearts and�minds through Christ Jesus.” Yes,�He is able to care for us as we live�our life and look to Him in every�situation.�He does this because, as the Apostle�went on to write,�“the God of Peace�shall be with you.”�May we echo some�of the words of the�hymn writer which�say; ‘only trust�Him,only trust, only�trust Him now!!�

Pastor Phill Brewster.�

The Satnav - by Pam Ayres�

I have a little Satnav, it sits there in my car.�A Satnav is a drivers friend, it tells you where you are.�

I have a little Satnav, I’ve had it all my life.�It’s better than the normal ones, my Satnav is my wife.�

It gives me full instructions, especially how to drive.�“It’s sixty miles an hour,” it says, “You’re doing sixty five.”�

It tells me when to stop and start and when to use the brake�And tells me when it’s never ever safe to overtake.�

It tells me when a light is red, and when it goes to green.�It seems to know instinctively, just when to intervene.�

It lists the vehicles just in front and all those to the rear�And taking this into account, it specifies my gear.�I’m sure no other driver has so helpful a device.�

For when we leave and lock the car, it still gives it’s advice.�It fills me up with counseling, each journey’s pretty fraught,�

So why don’t I exchange it and get a quieter sort?�Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, makes sure I’m properly fed.�

It washes all my shirts and things and keeps me warm in bed!�Despite all these advantages and my tendency to scoff,�

I only wish that now and then, I could turn the bugger off.�

Waroona Play Group�Can you�believe�we are�halfway�through�the year�already!�What a�great�

year we’ve already had with the�purchase of some new fabulous toys�for our kids; the rollercoasters and�train set are a hit. The children are�continuing to produce some great�craft every week. We are lucky to�have had some great events this year�already; our Easter party, Messy�Monday, Open Day and more recently�a visit from the Waroona Fire Service.�

done. Any persons who work for�Alcoa are also encouraged to attend�so their hours of work can be�recorded in order to receive the grant.�The smaller garden bed will become a�new mud kitchen. We are looking for�donations of an old oven or stove as�well as old pots, pans and utensils. If�you have any natural materials that�would be useful for the playground�please let us know.�Please talk to Megan LeRoy or�Catherine Stone if you can be of�assistance. Thanks!�

We are excited to be adding a Nature�Playground to our yard. We have�applied for an ACTION grant�(Alcoan’s Coming Together In Our�Neighbourhood) to help pay for the�materials needed and to provide�some labour. Fingers crossed we are�successful. Thanks to the Shire of�Waroona for the donation of mulch�and for removing our green waste.�We will commence preparing the�nature play area during the school�holidays. This will involve digging up�lawn and garden beds,removing some�trees,laying mulch, logs and gravel.�The help of you/partners/friends/�relatives would be much appreciated�on Sun 13�th� and/or Mon 14�th� July in�order to get the preparation work�

Dear Editor�So the Waroona Shire has decided�there will be no green waste or verge�pick-up this year. Over the years they�have decreased the number of tip�passes and I am now waiting to see�what, if anything, they will do for�Senior Citizens, because at the�moment they do nothing. They are�quick to raise the rates though. I am�disgusted and disappointed and I am�sure I am not the only one.�Carole Mason�

Letters to the Editor�Dear Mike�I must congratulate you on the recent�issues of the Drakesbrook Despatch.�This is what I visioned many years�ago as Waroona’s own newspaper,�when a group of us talked about it.�Keep it up!�I am in Pinjarra Palliative Hospital�being well looked after until such time�as either I improve or otherwise till the�end.�Yours Sincerely�Dorothy Pitman�

Dear Mike�I noticed that the Shire Council�minutes have not appeared in the�Despatch. Some people, probably a�small minority are interested in�Council affairs. I recently spoke to a�Council officer and he stated that we�always picked up the minutes at the�office and that the Council minutes�are also on-line.�People need to know how the Council�is running the Shire. Some items may�affect a lot of people.�Thank you, Alan Calhoun�

Editorial Comment�I�t�was extremely pleasing to receive the letter from Dorothy. The fact that she took the time to write�to me whilst in Palliative Care means a lot to me. Dorothy is one of the original Committee�Members of the Waroona Community Newsletter and until recently when she was taken ill, was an�active member of the Drakesbrook Despatch. We all wish her well.�Receiving the letter from Carol Mason has made me think a great deal about the implications of�the Shire’s decision to cancel the verge pick ups. Personally I will not be affected, as I have my�own Ute and regularly take green waste to the tip and use the 5 free Tip passes I receive from the�shire to dispose of my rubbish. (I am told that residents in the Mandurah area have to pay every�time they visit their local tip) Many residents, however, do not have access to a trailer, or Ute and�are now going to have a problem disposing of their unwanted goods and rubbish. Perhaps this is�something the Waroona Lions could consider as a project, or even just a group of Community�Minded Volunteers. Maybe the Despatch could print a list of volunteers who are prepared to call�and pick up your unwanted goods and take them to the tip, using your tip pass. This is just an�idea. Maybe there are other ideas and suggestions. Let me know what you think and we can get�the ball rolling. If Carol is disappointed and disgusted, I am sure there are many more of you.�In answer to Alan’s letter regarding Council minutes, in theory I have no problem with it, but the�length of the minutes would be a concern. We do pay for printing, so several pages of minutes�would not be of interest to many residents. However, should someone email me a copy of the�minutes I could always select items that I think would be of interest to the Community. -�Mike Whitney- Editor�

Winter has well and truly arrived and�we have had some heavy rains in the�past week. The worse problem was�the gale force winds on Tuesday 17�th�

June and it took three large inner�bricks, a post and four bits of timber�and a heavy piece to metal to keep the�blue tarp protection in place to�safeguard the chooks. I am still�waiting patiently for my friend Robert to�complete my chook shed which is�badly needed, particularly at this time�of the year. It is half completed on his�veranda at present. Patience is a good�virtue. Consequently I am still putting�in fresh hay every three or four days�depending on the weather to ensure�the Eccles have warmth and dry�bedding. They must be content as�they are still laying six or seven eggs�daily and Penny the celebrity Wyndotte�X D’Uccle is still contributing every�second day. Thanks to the departure�of the wild birds my chooks are eating�more grain and this is reflected in the�quality of production. In the last two�

Chooks, Chooks and More Chooks�weeks we have closed off the entrance�to the Atrium as we discovered a�secret nest and five eggs which were�destroyed. Their free range time has�also been put back to mid-afternoon.�Boots, the family cat is still chasing that�elusive mouse and supervising when I�am attending the chooks. Leo the�other family cat is too busy catching�lizards and other prey and now walks�with a permanent limp after being�clipped by a car a couple of months�ago. The treatment plan by Ron the�local vet and staff was first class and�much appreciated. Prior to the heavy�rain I was raking loose hay into four or�five piles and the chooks love�dismantling the hay all over that yard�and looking for that elusive treasure.�They are better than a plough. After�the heavy rain “Wally’s Orchard”�especially the new lime trees will�continue to benefit from the mulch�residue and natural fertiliser. I�attended the Waroona Poultry Show�as an observer last Saturday and�enjoyed viewing the Poultry and Birds�on display. Laurie, Kath and John plus�other helpers were kept very busy. As�I am new to the poultry club my�services were not required and I�quickly departed to watch my beloved�“Fremantle Dockers” take on�Richmond Tigers and finish with a 20�

point win to consolidate a spot in the�top six of the AFL.�Waroona Poultry Club missed the�services of hardworking Secretary�Kellie Derosa for the Poultry Show and�last week Kellie and husband Paul�Derosa celebrated the arrival of a son.�Congratulations to them and especially�the proud Grandparents. Chickens are�sure to be among the family pets�raised by the Derosa Family. I am still�receiving positive comments regarding�the chook articles and time to attend�chookyard daily chores.�Ken “Chookyard Farmer”.�

The Flying Pig�Due to a genetic gene�

A flying pig came on the scene.�When he landed all were in awe,�

The pig didn’t need a house of straw.�The flying pig wanted to date,�

He was looking for a soul mate.�He flapped his wings to no avail,�

Getting nowhere, hill or dale.�The other pigs resented he could fly.�

They laughed at him and made him cry.�Market day soon came around,�

The pigs were quiet and made no sound�The farmer shot the flying pig in the sky,�

As the pig fell he wondered why?�The farmer thought the pig was a flop.�

He soon was in pieces in the butcher shop.�

MAPTO ROAD SHOW ROLLS INTO WAROONA�Business operators and tourism stakeholders from the�

Waroona district were shown the Peel region’s�new tourism brand, Anytime�Adventures, at a�

presentation by�MAPTO�

(Mandurah &�Peel Tourism�

Organisation Inc)�held at the�

Waroona Visitor�Centre last week (11�

June 2014). The event�also served to launch�MAPTO’s new public�

image gallery, an online�portal with high resolution�

photos to use� in the promotion of the�Peel region - and a� downloadable brand toolbox�

for Anytime Adventures. “MAPTO’s Anytime Adventures launch was a�fantastic opportunity for Waroona Shire businesses and local Waroona�tourism operators to learn how they can contribute to and benefit from the�

strategies of the latest tourism campaign,” said CEO Ian�Curley. “The Shire of Waroona supports MAPTO and the contribution it is�making to our local tourism industry.” MAPTO CEO Steven Hollë said the�adventure positioning creates a point of difference for the region, and its�versatility will be instrumental in bringing all areas within�

the Peel Region�together under one�

recognisable banner.�“Adventure means�

something different to�everyone - it can be�passive, exciting or�

somewhere in�between. Culinary or�cultural adventures,�

adventures that thrill or�get the adrenalin�

pumping, adventures�that see you exploring and�discovering , the possibilities�

are endless.” “The Peel Region is looking to achieve the same success�in the adventure tourism category as Margaret River has achieved in�branding themselves as a premier food and wine destination,” said�Steven Hollë. “With the support of industry and key stakeholders,� including the local government authorities,�the region can own a strong brand message to take tourism forward,” he said. The campaign includes billboards in the�Perth CBD and on the backs of buses, full page advertisements in the print media, a dedicated website and a Visit Peel�

Rolling out the news�Yet again it has been proved that the�best way to prevent exotic pest�species becoming established in WA�is to spread the word, so that they can�be located and eradicated before the�problem escalates. Following recent�media attention about an infestation of�wheel cactus found in Dowerin, a�member of the public reported a�similar infestation in Yarloop to the�Department of Agriculture and Food�(DAFWA), whose officers quickly�

removed it. The cactus has also been�found in the Shires of Goomalling and�Kellerberrin thanks to local people.�Another example of early detection�being crucial to controlling a pest is�the citrus gall wasp, first found in WA�last year. Currently it appears to be�confined to a small area. Vigilant�orchardists and backyard growers can�assist in preventing the insect�expanding its range, simply by�spotting the tell-tale signs and letting�DAFWA know. Report any sightings�of wheel cactus or symptoms of citrus�gall wasp presence, described in this�month’s column, to the Pest and�Disease Information Service (PaDIS).�Ring Freecall 1800 084 881 or email�[email protected]�Wheel of misfortune�In South Australia 35,000 hectares of�the Flinders Ranges are contaminated�by wheel cactus (�Opuntia robusta�).�Residents of WA’s south-west are�urged to keep their eyes open for this�invader, as it would thrive in this�region. Birds eating the fruit spread its�seed in their droppings.The bluish�green segments or ‘pads’, up to 40�cm in diameter, are circular,�

tree may experience dieback. The�presence of this insect is indicated by�distinctive woody galls up to 250 mm�long and 25 mm thick on the twigs of�citrus trees. These galls can contain�hundreds of larvae. The adults�emerge any time from mid-September�to early November. So far DAFWA�has only found a few galls the size of�peanuts. Owners of citrus trees�should be checking their trees now for�evidence of the gall wasp so that�there is time to carry out control�methods, if needed, by August to�prevent the adults from emerging and�breeding. The movement of young�infested trees is the most frequent�way of introducing citrus gall wasp to�new areas. DAFWA’s surveys in�areas around the initial infestation�suggest the insect has not spread any�further afield. However, the whole�metropolitan area is being surveyed,�with attention being given to�commercial and wholesale nurseries,�and DAFWA has advised the local�citrus industry of the detection.�

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�

distinguishing it from the more familiar�prickly pear which has teardrop�shaped pads. It is not hard to imagine�how large infestation of wheel cactus�would interfere with agriculture, the�environment and social amenity land.�An unpleasant bunch�Many opuntioid cacti, including prickly�pear which is the common name for�several species of�Opuntia�, are�Weeds of National Significance. With�some home gardeners interested in�eating cacti fruit it should be pointed�out that one species (�Opuntia ficus-�indica�), known as the edible prickly�pear or Indian fig, is allowed to be�grown south of the 26�th� Parallel.�However, it is not an ideal plant for�the backyard. Its prickles can harm�children or pets. Also it can host fruit�fly and needs to be managed�appropriately.�Signs of citrus gall wasp�Native to eastern Australia, the citrus�gall wasp (�Bruchophagus fellis�) is an�exotic pest in WA. In 2013 a small�outbreak was detected at Eden Hill, a�suburb north-east of Perth. Citrus�trees infested by this gall wasp can�suffer reduced leaf production and�lower fruit yield.

Winter is certainly here! As the rain�and cold weather settle in over the�next couple of months there are a�number of things you will need to�keep on top of. If you haven’t already�done so now is the time to check�dams, water courses, tanks, drains,�gutters and roofs. Dams and water�courses can become contaminated�with faecal matter, debris and even�chemical run off during winter rains.�By checking to see if they are all�working correctly, you can minimise�flooding problems when more�significant rain is received. Also by�inspecting for blockages, damage,�rust or other problems you can expect�to capture all the rain to come without�incident. Too many times we forget�that safety should be our number one�concern. In Australia in 2013 there�were 59 farm deaths reported and�17% of these were children. Quad�bikes and tractors are the main cause�

For those�landholders interested in learning�more about running a horticulture�enterprise, the Small Landholder�Information Service recently launched�The Horticulture Handbook – a�reference guide for establishing�horticulture enterprises in Western�Australia. You c�an email�[email protected]� to�receive a free copy or any of the�information sheets listed on this page.�This time of year is also a great time�to incorporate organic manures into�your soil, as there is less risk of fly�breeding in July.

of fatalities and injuries on farms. Last�year quad bike related deaths were�reported most frequently (15),�followed by tractor incidents (9). Take�the time to know how best to handle�these vehicles and make sure you�keep them well maintained (see�SLIS’s ‘Handling ATVs on small�properties’ available at�agric.wa.gov.au/slis�). Safety should�also be taken seriously when dealing�with livestock. Many small producers�or livestock owners are unaware of�the importance of biosecurity and if�you run any number of livestock, you�need a biosecurity plan. A biosecurity�plan should cover the steps you would�take when bringing animals onto your�property (e.g. inspection,�identification), managing the�biosecurity risks already present on�your property (e.g. monitoring�animals, restricting visitors) and the�steps you would take when moving�

July 2014 Page 27�Waroona Veterinary News�

Congratulations to Nurse Kellie on the birth of her beautiful�little man Deegan from all of us at Waroona Vets xx�

We have seen plenty of dogs lately�that have ingested rat poison. In most�cases this has been accidental with a�packet left out or a cupboard door not�closed. Unfortunately it is one of the�

most common poisonings we see and�we have seen way too many lately!�

Most rat bait products are anti-�coagulants. The way they work is to�interfere with the animal’s ability to�clot their blood and therefore�eventually cause uncontrolled�bleeding and death.�Some rat baits are worse than others.�1�st� generation poisons such as�Warfarin (Ratblitz) require repeated�ingestion or a very large ingestion to�cause an issue as they are short�acting. 2�nd� generation poisons such as�Brodifacoum (Tomcat, Talon) usually�only require a single ingestion of a�small amount to cause a problem (in�some cases as little as a gram) and�cause problems for a long time as�they are long acting.�Unfortunately unless you have seen�your pet eat the bait there are no�initial signs of toxicity. You will only�start to see clinical signs of toxicity�

Rat Poisoning�down and their elbows pointing out)�then your pet needs veterinary�attention immediately.�Other symptoms you may see are�coughing/panting (associated with�increased respiratory effort), bleeding�from nose, eyes or mouth, bruising on�the gums or skin and/or swollen joints.�If your pet exhibits any of these signs�seek veterinary attention immediately.�If badly affected some patients end up�on ventilators as they can’t breathe for�themselves and chest drains to�remove blood from their lungs. These�animals can become gravely ill very�quickly and at this point you may not�be able to save them.�So whatever you do – LOCK UP�YOUR RAT BAIT. If you have baits�out ensure that it cannot be knocked�down by rodents to end up in reach of�pets. Also beware that in some cases�your pet eating a mouse that has�eaten bait is enough to cause toxicity.�So if in doubt, get your pet checked�out by your vet.�

usually 3-4 days after ingestion. At�this stage your pet is in imminent�danger of bleeding to death and may�need emergency intervention and�intensive care to pull through.�The good news is that if you have�seen your pet eat rat poison we can�induce vomiting and put your pet on�the antidote. The bad news is that�depending on the type of rat poison�your pet has eaten this can be twice�daily tablets for as much as 4-6�weeks. And the worst news is the�antidote can be quite costly for the�larger dogs due to how much of it they�require and for how long.�If you haven’t seen your pet eat rat�poison the first sign of a problem is�usually that the animal will become�lethargic (due to anaemia). Quite�often the gums will go pale (white)�and in the end stages may even�appear blue if your pet is bleeding into�their chest and struggling to breathe.�Bleeding into the chest or abdomen is�very common so if your pet’s�abdomen becomes distended or they�seem to take more effort to breathe�(usually while standing with their head�

Waroona Football Club News by Forward Pocket:� Round 11 on Sunday 22�nd� June 2014�promises to be full of interest at�Mundijong Oval and crucial to the�Demons hopes of playing finals in all�three grades for season 2014.�Colts�Coach Glen Wilson gave an inspired�speech at ¾ time and the colts came�from behind to score an exciting nine�point win against Halls Head prior to�the League General Bye. Rowan�Gardiner went for a solo run which�resulted in a goal and Kohen Hart-�Cole kicked the winning goal in the�time on period. Colts Vice- Captain�Josh Commisso was outstanding all�night and well supported by Jason�Angi, Josh Reeves and Harrison Ellis�was a focal point in attack.

Waroona Colts�players excelled at�Great Southern�Colts Carnival�held at Kulin last�weekend as�members of the�Peel Cavaliers�Association Colts�Team. Peel�narrowly lost their�first game of the�carnival 8-9 (57) to�GSFL 9-5 (59) in�

Waroona Colts�players in the squad were; Josh�Commisso (Captain),Jayden Caratti,�Brad Bromley, Joshua Reeves, Jake�Wilson.
