Christmas. The Bull Creek Aviation

will be on Friday 20th November. We
will be leaving the Seniors Citizen’s
Hall at 9.00 a.m. The cost of entry to
the Museum is $4 and lunch is $20. It
will be a roast and sweet with help
yourself tea and coffee. It should be a
good day out. Our Christmas dinner

Waroona Veterinary Clinic News
- Unusually bad snake season…
Well the snake season is here with a
vengeance. We have seen an
unusually high number of dogs and
several cats bitten by snakes this
year. As usual we are seeing both
Tiger and Dugite bites, so please
don’t assume it must have been one
kind of snake and not the other as we
don’t want to give the wrong
antivenin. The only positive way to
identify a snake is by the tail.
REGARDLESS OF THE COLOUR OF
THE SNAKE, under the tail section
Dugites have a double row of scales
below the cloaca, while Tigers have
all tail scales in a single row. Only
identify snakes this way if your pet
has definitely killed the snake. There
is no point risking a bite yourself as
we can just give a combined antivenin
if in doubt.
* Signs of Snake Bite:
* Agitation or collapse
* Sudden weakness – especially in
the hind legs
* Sudden vomiting, urination or
defecation
* Seizures
* Dilated pupils
* Excessive salivation or frothing at
the mouth
* Difficulty breathing and paralysis
* These signs may initially subside
(your pet looks like it is getting better)
before a rapid paralysis starting from
the back end of the animal develops,
followed quickly by death.
Emergency First Aid: - FIRST CALL
YOUR VET! If you call first we can
have everything ready for your pet
before you arrive. Also, if for whatever
reason the vet is unable to attend to
your pet we can give you alternate
phone numbers and direct you to the
next best location. If you call after
hours, the phone message will give
you the vet’s direct contact number.
* Bring in the snake only if it is dead.
Be sure the snake is dead before you
approach it and do not handle it by
the head. If you have a bag, place the
dead snake inside. If your pet has
chewed the snake in half, bring in the
tail.
* Do not attempt to catch or kill the
snake. You risk getting bitten yourself.
It is also illegal to kill snakes as they
are protected under the Wildlife
Conservation Act.
* Keep your pet quiet, calm and still
during travel to try to slow the spread
of the toxin. If you saw that your pet
was bitten on a limb, you may slow
this process further by applying a
pressure bandage (NEVER a

tourniquet) TO THE ENTIRE LIMB,
but not if it delays getting your pet to a
vet. This minimises the spread of the
venom through the lymphatics.
* If your pet is becoming paralysed
position them level with their head
slightly down to keep their airway
clear.
* If your pet stops breathing mouth to
nose ventilation may be able to keep
your pet alive until oxygen and
antivenin can be administered. This
should be only administered if your
pet is not able to bite or injure you.
Give ONE BREATH every 3-6
SECONDS.
* If you have seen your pet interact
with a snake but are unsure if they
were bitten, GIVE US A CALL AND
COME DOWN. Do not wait for signs
of envenomation as the animal can go
from being normal to collapsed quite
quickly. You are better off bringing
your pet in and waiting here with a
cup of coffee rather than having to
rush in with a collapsed pet.
* Please note that there is no
evidence that Vitamin C will help your
pet recover from a snake bite, seek
Veterinary treatment immediately.

The Power of Blessing –
Our words are
powerful. We
can bless or
we can curse
with the words
we speak,
creating
positively or
negatively. In today’s
language we would explain it like this
- ‘what you say is what you get!’
For example - if we continually tell a
young child that he or she is bad,
invariably they will behave badly.
Conversely, if we bless a child,
affirming that he or she is good, more
than likely good behaviour will be the
result. Scary isn’t it? We can ‘build up’
(bless) or ‘tear down’ (curse), with the
very words that we speak! Words
greatly influence what we believe and
what we believe governs how we
behave. Sometimes we might hear
negative reports about individuals or
about our community but as we have
learned, there is ‘power in blessing’ power to transform lives and difficult
situations, circumstances and
relationships, caused by the many
pressures of modern-day living. [In
last month’s Drakesbrook Dispatch,
mention was made of the book ‘The
Grace Outpouring,’ by Roy Godwin,
concerning a Christian Retreat
Centre, Ffald-y-Brenin in Wales. The
book documents amazing
transformation of the district and of
the lives of many people – locals and
visitors alike. People and the
environment, respond to GOD’s love
as they are blessed and reconciled to
HIM and HIS response has been to
shower the area and the people with
supernatural blessings]. What is
happening in Wales can also happen
here - or anywhere else for that
matter! For the past three years at our
monthly ‘Blessing Waroona’ prayer
meetings, every October in the lead
up to the Waroona Show, we
specifically pray for and ‘speak out
blessings’ over the day. This year we
also conducted a ‘blessing walk,’ over
the venue, the day before the Show.
We blessed the Show that the
weather would be kind (we had heard
it might rain!) and that there would be
a good crowd. We blessed the very
atmosphere over the town and
specifically over the venue, that it
would be a safe and enjoyable place
for all attending. We also blessed the
stallholders that it would be a financial
success. In short, we blessed
everyone and everything to do with
the Show - and by all accounts, GOD
certainly responded by showering
Waroona with blessings! It was a joy
to read in the Harvey-Waroona
Reporter that Waroona Agricultural
president Eric Walmsley said ‘it was a
fantastic show with a good crowd and
good atmosphere’ and that ‘everyone,
including the stallholders, were very
happy with the day.’ By all accounts
the day was a huge success. One
local said that he really enjoyed the
Show as there was ‘a real family
atmosphere.’ An ‘out-of-towner,’
reported that ‘it was the best show
day ever!’ We thank GOD for the gifts
and talents of all those who worked so
tirelessly to organise and run the day
for the enjoyment of those attending.
Well done! Well done also to the
crowds who very kindly ‘used the
extra bins, leaving the grounds spotless.’ What a blessing! If you have
been blessed, please don’t be afraid
to share with others. Blessings are a
gift from GOD and
telling others gives hope
that causes an
‘atmosphere of faith’ in
which miracles happen!
Until next time – ‘be
blessed to be a
blessing!’ Cheryl

The Market on 4th October was not very
busy. There were plenty of stalls but not
a lot of buyers, which was a shame.
Chart No.1 finally finished selling on
Wednesday 14th October with the other
2 charts being carried over. Winners of
chart 1 were: 1st prize Cynthia 2nd
prize Meg. In the past you have all been
so generous supplying me with bric-abrac to sell at the Sunday Markets, but
due to health problems I will in future
only be selling books and lucky
numbers. Any items suitable as lucky
number prizes will still be gratefully
accepted. Thank you everyone for
supporting this valuable town asset.
God bless. Betty Derrick

Coral’s Charity Knitters
Thank you to the
lady who donated
a bag of wool she
‘discovered’
when downsizing
her home. The
skeins were ideal for a yarn project
Nola is doing with a group of school
children. Joy J. called in to show us and model - a lovely knitted multicoloured short jacket, a project which
took her quite a while. Lil sent her
good wishes. She is on the mend and
plans to be back at knitting soon. A
total of 131 knitted or crochet poppies
are now for sale at the visitors centre.
$2 each and proceeds to be donated
to our local RSL. A number of
poppies will be provided to the high
school for students attending Anzac
Cove next year. There are also lots of
items for sale at the visitors centre
supporting our local St. John
Ambulance Centre. Seven bright
coloured knitted teddies have been
given to Pat Thomas House. Cathy
has been invited to update us on her
visits to Africa and delivery of the
knitted teddies. She will fit this in at a
convenient time. Our knitting needles
and crochet hooks are never idle
keeping the ladies busy with baby
beanies, bootees, squares for rugs
along with triangles galore to be made
up into bunting for yarn bombing. A
fantastic range of items has been
created for this event which promises
to be bright and colourful and a
highlight for our town during
November. Many of us have an
assortment of stuff at home gathered
over many years for one project of
another because we
crafty ladies are pretty
good at that!. However
one of our ladies has
decided to “declutter “
by disposing of one
item per day making
the task manageable
and buoyed by the fact
that at the end of the year 365 items
will have been reassigned
elsewhere…hopefully !!.
The November dates are 12th and the
Christmas party 26th

Support our Local Students Volunteering to help Flores Island People
Until recently I had never heard of the
Island of Flores, one of the hundreds
of Islands that are part of Indonesia.
Unlike many of the other Islands,
Flores is very much ‘Third World’ and
each year groups of young volunteers
fly over to work and help these peace
loving people. The peoples of Flores
are almost entirely Roman Catholic
whereas most other Indonesians are
Muslim. As a consequence, Flores
may be regarded as surrounded by a
religious border. The prominence of
Catholicism on the island results from
its colonisation by Portugal hundreds
of years ago.
The people are mostly farmers and
fishermen, living in basic huts with dirt
floors and fishing in catamarans made
out of hollowed logs.
There are five religions practiced in
Indonesia, but with 90% of the
population being Muslim, there tends
to be some religious unrest on a few
of the Islands like Aceh where the
Muslim controlled governing body
refused building permits for churches
to be granted. This was the cause of
the riots in Aceh a few years ago.
Unlike Aceh though Muslims and
Catholics seem to live in harmony on
Flores and often live side by side.
Unfortunately the Indonesian
government provides limited financial
assistance to this beautiful Island
paradise, resulting in the need for
volunteer workers.
in bed, having to sleep on
the floor and hot showers
will be something to look
forward to when they
return, as they will be
living with a local family
and embracing their
culture and lifestyle. Both
boys will be donating
$200 of their own money
to give to the villages they
assisted. It will be a
challenging experience for
the boys and I am sure
when they return at the
end of January they will
appreciate how lucky and
fortunate they are to live
an Australian lifestyle.
Year 10 students, Reegan Davis and
Jalen Anzellino were successfully
selected along with 8 other students
from their school, Mandurah Catholic
College to represent their school on a
volunteer working bee in January next
year. Once selected they both
approached the Waroona Lions Club
for assistance in raising the $5,000
they need to fund their venture. The
Lions took them on board and both
boys have been seen around the
town, selling raffle tickets, working at
the Farmers market and also assisting
the Lions Club on the Machinery Day
and at the Agricultural Show.
In Flores the boys will be helping to
build schools, maintain gardens and
generally help the local communities.
They are not guaranteed a cosy night
If you see the boys around
town on any of their fund
raising efforts, please
support them.

Images From The Waroona Agricultural Show
By Drakesbrook Despatch mobile photographer Molly Horn
With NO official report from anyone
regarding this year’s Show, here are
my own observations from the day.
First up, congratulations to the Ag.
Society, it was one of the best shows I
have been to and it seems to be
expanding every year. I am told
numbers were down on last year
slightly, but when last year children
were free and this year they had to
pay $10 each, you would expect
some difference. With three
grandchildren, an adult daughter and
a pensioner wife to pay for it was
quite expensive. Perhaps a family
ticket for $40 is something the
committee could look at. It turned out
to be an unusually hot day and I think
the lack of shade to eat your lunch
under sent many people home earlier
than usual. On a positive note, the
Poultry were amazing, the cake
decorations and floral displays were
amazing and the Children’s exhibits
were great to look at. It was great to
see the number of entries. The
fireworks , viewed from the Waroona
Bowling Club were the best I have
seen. All in all a great day and I look
forward to next year’s Show Mike Whitney
In The Lions Den
October was
another busy
month for the
Lions. At the
markets this
month we
were helped by our two young
temporary helpers, Jayden Anzellino
and Reegan Davis who are helping us
with all of our projects in return for a
donation to fund their mission to
Flores and then of course there was
the Waroona Show. It was a very hot
day this year and as a result, the
numbers were a little down but the
Club did extremely well with both the
sales of food and drink at Jim’s
Kitchen and the usual long lines of
families with kids, eager to get into the
baby animal nursery which this year
featured, sheep, goats, piglets,
rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, rats, chicks
and ferrets. A total of 24 Lions out of
our 30 members worked a total of
over 200 hours with preparation on
the Friday, staffing the actual day and
clean up on Sunday morning plus
volunteers Jayden, Reegan, Kevin
Kerrison and Jeanne-Marie Hawkins,
so thanks to all those members and
volunteers that put in all that hard
work. The last event of the month was
our usual involvement with the
Children’s Leukemia and Cancer
Foundation’s South West Bike Trek.
Waroona Lions prepared lunch for the
23 riders on their way from Mandurah
to Augusta and Lion Alan Lochowicz
also presented the Foundation's
Chairman, Geoff Cattach with a
cheque for $500. Before the cyclists
turned up for lunch, they joined up
with kids from St Josephs Catholic
Primary School, also on their bikes
and went on a police chaperoned tour
of the town. Shire of Waroona CEO,
Ian Curley also made a presentation.
Planning applications have now gone
in to the Shire of Waroona for the
demolition and re-build of the storage
shed used for the animal nursery at
the show and we now wait with baited
breath for approval. Also with regards
to the proposed Christmas street
party, after consultation with the
police, we have decided that it would
be better to stage it in the space
immediately in front and behind the
Memorial Hall on the same area that
we use for the markets. Of course, we
will still need to get Shire approval for
this as well but anybody wishing to
get involved can contact either myself
or Kevin “Obi” O’Brien on 9733 1143.
The other two exciting pieces of news
are, one, that we are now in
possession of a brand new cooler
trailer, which can be used to store all
of our cold soft drinks, meats and
salads, used in the markets and other
events. Our sincere thanks go to the
Alcoa Wagerup Refinery
Sustainability Fund who allocated the
money for this extremely important
asset. And two, that we are in the
process of putting together our own
kiddie train for use in all of the various
shows and events on the oval.
Normally we have to hire the one
owned by the Harvey Lions but thanks
to Ray Bigoni who donated the tractor
to us to pull the train, Spike Strobel for
fitting a new gear box free of charge,
Charlie Hull for purchasing carriages
for us from Ross’s Auctions and Louie
Martelli who is painting the tractor for
us, we now have our own. It’s so
gratifying when local businesses
come together to support the Lions in
a project that is going to benefit the
whole community so a BIG THANK
YOU GUYS!! We were also extremely
proud this month when we won a
signed Fremantle Dockers jumper in
an auction. The auction was for an
11-year-old young girl called Sienna
who suffers up to 40 epileptic seizures
a day. She will never speak or walk
and has to be lifted physically in and
out of the car to be taken to her
special school every day. The auction
was to raise money to convert the
family’s car to take a wheelchair. We
bid (i.e. donated) $1000 and won.
Pam and David Baird came down to
our meeting from the Duncraig Lions
Club to make the presentation. Finally
we are still in the process of trying to
launch our own Leos Club for young
people aged between 12 and 18, so if
you’re interested in getting involved in
the local community and help people
in need, contact either myself or Lisa
Fry on 0415 954993 and don’t
forget………
WE ARE ALSO ALWAYS LOOKING
FOR NEW MEMBERS FOR THE
LIONS. Contact me – John Clare on

Waroona's Hard Working Hero's - By Bill Calcott
A new series of Waroona personalties, who stand out in the crowd
and have earned the right to be a Waroona Hard Working Hero!
KLIM
What on earth could a silly word like
KLIM do with our lovely town and
KLIM be a hard working hero? From
1940 onwards, KLIM was a patent
name by Nestles for condensed milk,
powdered milk and many other solid,
concentrated milk products, sent all
over the world, to become the
lifesaving benchmark, for troops in
every theatre of war. The condensed
milk from Waroona, made right here in
McLarty Street, produced in Nestles
condenser, sent a lifesaving product
that did not require any refrigeration
or special conditions to maintain the
quality out to the wildest places on
earth, from the dense jungles of
Borneo to the frozen waste of East
Germany, in the form of 24 cans in a
Red Cross box that was full of
surprises! KLIM (Milk spelt
backwards) was not designed to
confuse the enemy, but it did! It then
became the password for all manner
of prisoner escape aids, especially
can 18 in a pack of 24 (Three rows of
8 cans). Can 18 had a double lid,
that, when opened, it looked and
weighed the same as all other cans in
the pack of 24. Inside the double lid
was an engraved map, showing major
rivers, railway lines and towns, not
named, this came with another map
engraved in the base of can 18, as an
POPPY DAY
In the lead up to
Remembrance Day 2015
Members of the WaroonaHamel RSL Sub Branch
will have Poppies and other
merchandise available
on Friday November 6th.
Where: In front of Waroona
IGA
Time: From 9.00 AM
overlay to the lid of can 18! An
engraving to make banknote money,
identity cards, ration cards and even
passports, along with other clues to
make a compass out of the lid of can
18. This subterfuge was not instigated
when produced in Waroona but added
by the Ministry of 'Special Effects, SOE'
and adapted for each location where
the Red Cross parcel would likely be
sent. The KLIM contents was never
discovered as if seen, it looked just like
scratchings on a metal can. According
to the records, the Germans or anyone
else never worked out that KLIM was
milk spelt backwards! If they did, so
what! But to our Diggers and other
prisoners of war, KLIM was the magic
password! Due to the ingenuity of man,
empty KLIM Condensed Milk Cans from
Waroona, possibly may have become
the complex part of an air exchange
system used in the escape tunnels!
Waroona Condensed Milk Cans, sent
away from here in the Red Cross
contracts, could likely have ended up in
the Great Escape! The cans used then,
and still in use today as seen on
Supermarket shelves, were of a soft
metal that could be easily cut and
moulded into any required shape, for
digging tools, pipes, water containers
etc. Now nobody knows where these
Waroona products ended up, so none
of the above can be verified! However,
many escape books, films and plays,
often refer to these homemade tools,
gadgets and contents hidden away, in
an effort to return soldier prisoners
back to the war effort, made all out of
milk tins and other food containers.
The Great Escape, Paul Brickhill,
1960
The Wooden Horse, Eric Williams,
1950
Escape to Victory, Yabo Yablonsky,
1980
Wherever canned milk, produced in
Waroona during those dark days of
1940, ended up, they ALL would have
given a glimpse of sunshine, fresh
pasture and health building hope.
This is how a can of Waroona
Condensed Milk, became a HARD
WORKING HERO.
HELP IS REQUIRED!
To keep this series going, I need
your help!
Who could be your Hard Working
Hero, past or present?
Everybody has a story and I am
happy to write it for you, or you
could become a guest presenter.

Staying Strong on Your Feet
Welcome back to Peer Leader David,
who has returned from his trip to Sri
Lanka with a tale or two to tell, some
interesting photos and a fresh joke to
get us going. It seems that Grace also
has a talent to get a laugh out of us
with the odd joke so watch out David!
We have had some good attendances
this month and with the on-set of some
warm weather, it was great to see so
many remembering to bring water
bottles. Well done! To those still on the
mend, we hope you are back with us
soon. I asked for some feedback on
the benefits of participating in the
‘Strong on Your Feet’ program. The
responses included – ‘I have noticed
my reading has improved since
doing the eye exercises;’ ‘I really
notice the difference when I miss a
week;’ ‘I enjoy the social aspect of
exercising with others’ and ‘I can
do these at home.’ One wag, (who
shall remain nameless!), commented
that the afternoon tea is the
drawcard!! This exercise program,
designed specifically for seniors, is
most beneficial when done regularly
at home – not just on Mondays folks!
Tip of the month – for maximum
benefit, try doing the eye exercises
each morning when you first wake up!
Please contact Jan if you will be
attending the Christmas Party wind-up
in Mandurah on 12th December. The
program is open to all seniors and is
held each Monday at 1pm in the
Senior Citizens Centre at a cost of $2.
For information or enrolment forms,
please phone Jan on 95354749 or
you can email her at
dmc56456@bigpond.net.au
Many blessings, Cheryl.

Westpac Bank Customers
Hello to all those Westpac customers
that are now doing their deposits and
withdrawls thru us.
We hope that some of the original
confusion about what services we can
offer you have now been clarified.
Just to summarise, provided you
have the card for the account we
can process:
· Cash & Cheque Deposits
· Cash Withdrawls ( to a maximum of
$1000 per day or your daily limit,
whichever is the lower)
· Balance Enquiries
· Payments to Credit cards ( are
processed as a deposit to the card)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Occasionally,
depending on our cash reserves, we
have to put a temporary limit on the
amount customers can withdraw in
any one day. This limit will apply to all
banking customers, not just Westpac
customers. We do try our best to
avoid this, but sometimes
circumstances arise where we need
to do it.

Best Practice For Addressing Mail/
Parcels
As we come into the Christmas
period, thought perhaps it timely to
remind everyone to be very thorough
when addressing Mail/Parcels.
Volumes will be increasing, and
delivery of incorrectly addressed
items will be further delayed. Vital to
ensuring correct delivery of an item
are :
· First & Surname of the intended
recipient, ( Shaz & Wozza will not cut
it, if you happen to get the address
wrong)
· the correct property number and
street address ( Not Lot Number , AP
doesnot deliver to Lot Numbers)
· State, Town and Postcode .We
have free postcode books available
down here, or staff are happy to look
it up on line for you.
· your return address on the item.
Rest assured we will be doing our
very best to get everything delivered
appropriately, and your patience and
understanding will be greatly
appreciated. Keep you eyes peeled
for the Christmas countdown….
Cheers from your LPO Team!

Quambie Park Waroona currently
has one Retirement Village Unit
available for lease or rent. The unit
is one of the older style and, as
such, is more suitable for one
person rather than two.
Quambie Park Waroona specialises in the provision of aged care services to older Australians
living in regional Australia (with a focus on the Peel Region of WA) who want to remain living in
a rural environment rather than relocating to a larger town or city. The organisation offers a
continuum of services which enable people to “age in place” wherever possible. These services
include:
1.-Retirement Village Living: Nestled within the community of Waroona, our Retirement Village is
where country values and community care come together. Familiar faces mean no one is ever a
stranger. Social and sporting clubs, shops, a swimming pool and many other facilities are easily
accessible in your local community. Our Village offers a relaxed lifestyle in a secure
environment with the following supports provided to make your life easier:
Home Care Packages to help you to maintain independence (subsidised or fee for service).
An emergency call-bell connected to our highly qualified care staff.
An inbuilt fire service and security system connected to Quambie Park.
Beautifully landscaped gardens maintained by our own gardening team.
Regular building maintenance to ensure the value of your villa is retained.
2.-Home Care Packages: Health and personal care services are delivered on an outreach basis
to assist people to live independently in their own home for as long as possible. Clients receive
assistance with wound care, medications, household duties and transport.
3.-Residential Aged Care (Pam Corker House):
A comprehensive residential aged care service is offered to people
with high needs who no longer have the capacity to support
themselves in an independent living environment. Services include
allied health, nursing services and personal care services. Pam
Corker House also provides for people with dementia or other
mental health illness through the provision of a secure wing
with dedicated specialist staff.

All Junior Trophy and class winners
received a Chook Medal to go with
their trophy as an encouragement
award as they are the future of the
poultry section in future years at the
Show.
Waroona Poultry Club sincerely
thanks all trophy donors and Waroona
Agricultural Society for their continued
support.
All birds were fed and
well-watered on a hot day
in more ways than one
(Competition and
weather) including the
four birds accidentally left
behind.
One exhibitor from Collie
had a Sunday drive to
collect her silver pencil
Wyandotte and blue
pencil Wyandotte
bantams who enjoyed their overnight
stay in poultry pavilion and her two
quiet birds took it in their stride.
Waroona Poultry Club is looking for
new members to share the workload
of running a poultry club and sharing
information about poultry which is
beneficial to all concerned.

The Chookyard Farmer
October has been an extremely busy
and rewarding month at Chookyard
Hotel with Waroona Show being the
highlight. In my first ever Waroona
Show as a poultry exhibitor after
involvement for 37 years to achieve
11 first prizes, 2 second prizes plus
two trophies and two rozettes for
champions in their class is simply
amazing. The only two birds that
missed out were Ruby a Rhode Island
Red and Bluebelle a Blue Australorpe
who were still a winner in our eyes.
Winning the Waroona Hardware
trophy who are great supporters of the
local community for a pair of Soft
Feather Light Breed Bantam was a
bonus and it helps their breeding
record after being a recent addition to
the flock from Reece Jerrett from
Mundijong. Even more special was
winning the Waroona Vet Services for
a Pair of Soft Feather Light Breed was
a Silver Laced Wynadotte pair raised
from two day old chicks courtesy of
Rebecca Nelson of Serpentine when
a broody failed to hatch any eggs. Her
other two pullets won first and second
in their class to make it four from four
and it is not all milk and honey when
one of those young girls was sold at
the Harvey Poultry Club Auction last
Sunday. Certainly the overcast and
cooler weather for the past two days
has been a welcome relief for the
Brooder Bantam Hens Collie Black
and Red Brindle. On Waroona Show
morning Red Brindle successfully
hatched seven out of eight fertile eggs
mainly Gold Laced Wynadotte variety
and a week earlier Collie Black
hatched five out of seven eggs mainly
Arauncana and even a Gold Laced
Wynadotte Bantam Chick. Exciting
times but always conscious of
reducing numbers and sold five
unsexed chicks raised by Mandy a
Silver Laced Wynadotte young Hen
for the paltry sum of $15 because over
half appeared to be young males
especially after feeding them for eight
weeks and the original cost for two
and five day old chicks was $70 to
reward a Mum for 21 days hard labour
but you don’t have to be a Rhodes
Scholar to do the sums. Expecting
another 10 eggs under “One Amigo”
to be hatched over the weekend and
another two Sparkle a Blue
Australorpe and Mandy again decided
they were clucky and in need of some
fertile eggs so fingers crossed the 8th
November is “H” Day. Mandy was
particularly interesting as her chicks were
ready to be sold and only kept a beautiful
Coronation Sussex named “Lady Di” who
now sleeps alongside Mum in the nesting
box whilst setting the next batch of eggs.
A word of warning let the Brooder Hens
do their job and the less you disturb them
the more chance you have of
successfully hatching your next batch of
chicks .A sad moment this week was
when I sold Wally my Resident
Arauncana Rooster and his lady Joan is
lonely but he has gone to a good home
to a farm in Pinjarra and to take care of
five young lavender hens in the process.
This is all part of the revolving door at
Chookyard Hotel. Always some
maintenance is required and with
summer just around the corner managed
to score some heavy duty pipes at
Mundijong Markets yesterday with base
and Top Plates for Just $5 and hopefully
can adapt to be a successful Shade
House for the Hotel Residents. Pleased
to report received a second prize for
Eggs Any Other Variety against stiff
opposition and trying my luck again at
the Brunswick Show tomorrow. Lacey my
Gold Laced Wynadotte Bantam Hen
registered her third straight win at
Waroona and it will be interesting to see
how she fares at Brunswick amongst the
heavyweights. Also pleased to report a
sale to a fellow breeder Alan hatched
eight healthy chicks out of eight with
another three pending. Bantams have a
beautiful nature, are easy to handle and
have a habit of going clucky at the drop
of a hat. I cannot wait till March 20th 2016
when Waroona Poultry Club has its next
Written Auction and also hope to sell
some young pullets privately prior whilst
maintaining quality heritage stock.
Yesterday I collected four eggs from the
Wood Shed again yesterday and free
range poultry love laying eggs in luxury
and not being disturbed.
When Chickens Adopt
Do you have any
eggs from Free
Range Parents?
The only disaster in the past month has
been Goldie a Brahma Creole Hen raised
from a fertile egg is when she ate 10
fertile eggs whilst sitting. To assist
transition I placed six day old chicks
under hen but she killed two chicks
outright and another died 14 hours
later so my family room has because
a safe haven for raising a tough trio of
two speckled Sussex chicks and a
silver laced Wynadotte chick. The
Resident Cats Boots and Leo have
observed the new household friends
and Boots insisted on a rub whilst
treating a chick with paw paw
ointment as it had two injuries left
from her attack. Consequently Goldie
was a reluctant sale at the Poultry
Club auction and hopefully she settles
down and just lays eggs for the new
owner. Have been busy all week
preparing the birds for their second
show in two weeks and they all
seemed more relaxed this time
around. Use a mixture of paw paw
ointment and Vaseline to keep their
legs nice and shiny and fresh looking.
Particularly with Wynadotte Breeds as
the judges look for the yellow healthy
legs as part of the judging process
and part of their diet of crushed maize
also helps that process. My new shed
“The Kent Ensuite” has been put to
good use with the broody “One Amigo
being separated by a Useful Bed
Frame and the newest couple “Jake
The Bantam Rooster and his hen
“Miss Cardinal” a rare blue leghorn
being housed there apart from free
range time. Every day Solo my young
Arauncana Hen and Sapphire a
Polish Hen fly the coop but hang
around Chookyard Hotel and the
house and enjoy company when I let
other birds free range with hen. Must
confess I have found straw hay the
best for bedding after trying open
meadow hay, but all chickens love
scratching for the grass seeds when
spread out on the ground. I have
found myself cooking on the barbecue
as spring weather has warmed up and
even tried putting coals and ash on
the ground as a possible treatment to
keep lice away in conjunction with
white earth powder. Happy the Girls
at Nos 13 put an article in last month’s
edition and just for the record Nos 13
was always my basketball singlet
number and still remains my lucky
number. So ladies don’t stop typing
any chicken news. Congratulations to
Editor Mike for his chicken cartoons or
sketches which enhances the articles
for readers to enjoy. Time to start
whipper snipping, mowing the lawn
before I start the final preparation for
Chookyard Hotel for the last official
outing in 2015 at the Brunswick Show.
Wish us luck.- Chookyard Farmer Ken
THE GIRLS AT NUMBER 13
Here we are again
with all our news.
Hilda, our white
Pekin, has been
quite a pain lately!
Dad says she has
gone broody.
Well, talk about
hogging the laying
boxes! You can’t
get your bottom in
edge wise with this
one. Anyway,
Hetty, our Bantam sister took matters
into her own hands and plonked
herself on top of Hilda. After some
scuffling, Hetty gave Hilda a good
dosing of her detritus right on her
head! Now Hilda sports a very
unusual feather do! The other day,
Harriet, our New Hampshire sister,
decided to mastermind “The Great
Escape!’ She got to work digging
furiously, and then called in the
cavalry to assist. Hyacinth our big
Black Australorp sister, came to the
rescue, and between the two of them,
they had a deep hold dug. The rest
of us stood by and watched with
amazement at their progress. We
could only see the heads of Harriet
and Hyacinth busy at work. They
found some buried treasure, like a
sunken pipe, some rusty bottle tops
and old chicken bones! Of course,
Dad arrived unannounced, and said
“What is going on here?” Dad got the
rake and promptly filled their hole in!
That put paid to our escape plans!
What a spoil sport he is! The Maids
of Ancona, Hester and Hillary, told
Dad off this week. He was collecting
our eggs, and they told him in no
uncertain terms to buzz off! After all,
the eggs weren’t doing any harm
where they were. The ticket system
for the laying boxes is working well.
However if anyone wants to break
ranks and drop a quickie, there is
always the hay covered floor.
Hannah our Croad Langshan sister
gets desperate sometimes and
resorts to this method! It works quite
efficiently too! On the subject of
Hannah, we think she is having an
affair! Don’t tell anyone, she won’t
speak to us! A regular visitor named
Zac, a Maltese Shih Tzu comes to our
place. He stands on one side of the
gate with Hannah on the other! What
they are whispering about, we can’t
tell. Hildegaard did make discreet
enquiries, but Hannah is tight lipped.
Still, we can understand that not
everyone wants their love life
splattered across the tabloids.
Hatty, our Cochin/Araucana has been
doing some very tricky acrobatic
displays on our monkey bar. Lifting a
leg, she then unfolds a wing and then
turns herself around on one leg. The
same procedure is done on the other
leg. Dad has been approached by
Cirque du Soleil to place Hatty in their
circus! For afternoon tea, Dad gives
us sunflower seeds, kale and some
weeks. He told us that cos lettuce
have been planted for us to have later
on. About time too, instead of revving
up his hot-rod and making a hell of a
racket. You would think that he would
look to our needs first. He must be
going through second childhood. Sun
baking has been a favourite pastime
these warmer days, along with
covering ourselves with sand. Hetty’s
pool has been popular, named after
Hetty who decided to develop the pool
to splash around in. When we are
busy doing our jobbies, we hang up a
sign saying ‘Do not disturb!’ If Dad
comes into the hen house, we give
him a very disdainful look. He gets
the picture real quick, and leaves us
alone. We like our privacy to be
respected. Last Sunday, Dad was late
with our breakfast! It was after 8
o’clock when he arrived, looking like
something the cat had dragged in! He
explained that it was the Waroona
Show the day before, and it had been
a busy day. We weren’t too pleased
about that! Why couldn’t we have
gone? We wanted to go on that new
ride called Tumbler. News gets
around real fast in the Waroona
Poultry world, we can tell you that!
Well we hope all our other interested
hen readers are having great success
this spring before we head into
summer. New chicks are being
hatched in many yards and incubators
as you read this article hot from the
press! Egg laying is an art and must
be appreciated to be understood.
So until next month, it’s “over and out”

a form of street art that employs
colourful displays of knitted or

sense of fun for all ages.

for expressions of
interest for all grades
for season
2016.League
Reserves and Colts.
It ran adverts for two
weeks in both Saturdays West
Australian and the South West Times.
Closing date was last Friday 23rd
October 2015. Hopefully the
appointments will be made public in
time for next month’s Despatch
December edition. Would all members
and supporters please note the
Annual General Meeting has been
scheduled for Thursday 3rd December
in the Demon Social Hall for 7.00pm
start. The club needs more non
playing members on the Committee to
share the workload particularly on
match days. Just a reminder in
season 2015 finished as follows;
League –Runners Up (Loss 19 points)
Reserves-finished fourth losing the
first semi final to Halls Head eventual
premiers. Colts –finished 3rd after
completing the qualifying season as
minor premiers just losing four games.
Halls Head after losing the second
semi final to South Mandurah
defeated Waroona in the Preliminary
Final and then reversed results in the
Grand Final. Too true it is never over
till the fat lady sings. Go Dynamic
Demons in 2016 and continue the

VOLUNTEERS ARE PRICELESS
Title: Boosting biological
control
Rabbit populations are on the rise and
so are the requests for control advice.
This article will look at what is
happening at a national scale to
reduce rabbit populations with the
upcoming release of a new variant of
calicivirus (also known as rabbit
haemorrhagic disease virus, or
RHDV) and what options exist for
immediate control. Boosting
biological control of rabbits. A
naturally occurring variant of the
calicivirus found in Korea (called
RHDV K5) has been identified for
release in Australia. RHDV K5 is a
variant of the existing strain already
widespread across the country and
should be more effective in cool, wet
regions as it overcomes a benign
calicivirus strain, which protects
rabbits from the virulent strain. The
release of RHDV K5 will complement
the existing biological controls;
myxoma virus (MV, causing
‘Myxomatosis’) released in 1950 and
the Czech strain of calicivirus (RHDV)
released circa 1995, which currently
keep rabbits at a fraction of their
potential population. While RHDV K5
will not kill every last rabbit, it will be
another tool to help manage rabbit
populations. The RHDV K5 release is
pending APVMA approval; however
approval is anticipated for later this year
(2015/16) with the release of the virus
expected in autumn 2016 or 2017.
Timing the release of the virus into
existing rabbit populations is critical.
Rabbits <12 weeks of age carry varying
levels of resistance to RHDV, so the
virus should not be released in spring or
summer when there are high numbers
of young rabbits and pregnant does.
Follow up control using conventional
methods (baiting, warren ripping,
harbour destruction and fumigation of
burrows) is critical 2-4 weeks after
release to achieve maximum results.
Land owners (public and private) are
encouraged to register their interest in
becoming a RHDV K5 release site via
the PestSmart website
(pestsmart.org.au). Community
assistance with the spread and
monitoring of RHDV K5 will help ensure
that the virus reaches as many rabbit
populations as possible, optimising
knockdown. For more comprehensive
information about RHDV K5 and how
to get involved please visit
pestsmart.org.au. If you do not have
internet access, call 1800 084 881
and we can send you the relevant
information. Current control options:
The best form of control is to act when
rabbit populations are low, as it
doesn’t take long before rabbits start
to cause damage and develop
extensive warrens under sheds,
verandas, homes and wood piles. Aim
to eliminate the rabbits (trap, poison,
fumigate), prevent them from entering
an area (fencing) and limit damage
(harbourage modification, tree guards,
repellents). Comprehensive
information about rabbit control is
available on our website
(agric.wa.gov.au), search ‘rabbit’ in
the search bar to find the relevant
pages. ‘Rabbit control in urban and
semi-urban areas’ is the best
webpage for non-farming properties. If
you do not have internet access, call
1800 084 881 and we can send you
the relevant information.

THE BOWLING CLUB BULLETIN
Well the new
Pennants season is
underway and sad to
say the first games
of the Tuesday
League didn't go our
way. Pinjarra beat
the Ladies Second division teams by
69 to 48 although Annette Hunter's
team narrowly won their game by two
points. The Men's Third division team
didn't fair much better against Halls
Head, losing by 10, 61 to 51, although
Dennis Tyler's team won by one and
Mike Whitney's team only lost by 4.
Both the Ladies team and the Men's
team are 6th on their ladders after
week one. But if we thought that
Tuesday was tough, the Men's Third
Division Saturday League game was
even more demanding and Mandurah
hammered us 101 to 72 with all teams
getting comprehensively beaten
except Mark Hiller's team who
managed a draw. That leaves us
bottom of the table after the first
week. Not a great start to the season
but as the D.Ream song
says…….Things can only get better!!
On a brighter note, the club hosted
another darts tournament on Saturday
17th October. Ten teams of four
played and it was a great weekend.
The victors were a local team
consisting of Eric Green, Mike Hull and
Phil and Jan Baisley who beat another
local team led by Brad Angelino with
the Collie team coming third. Once
again, our volunteer bar staff did a
fantastic job on what was an extremely
busy night and the darts players had
nothing but praise for the excellent
service that they received from both the
bar and the kitchen volunteers.
Community Bowls has been running for
four weeks now with one team clearly
on top, as they are the only team that
have won all four of their games and
that team is The Professionals Real
Estate. Well done Ladies and Gents.
Unfortunately there have been far too
many forfeited games so far this year
with teams just not turning up or
dropping out completely. This is
somewhat disappointing; as it takes
away from the great atmosphere a bit
that we had last year. Scroungers on
Thursday afternoons seems to have
grown in popularity however, with a few
new faces turning
up to add to the
usual suspects. If
you want to have
a go at playing
bowls and have
never played
before, this is the
place to start. It's
where I started and we have plenty of
bowls that you can borrow if you
haven't got your own. It's at 2.30 on
Thursday afternoons and the regular
members will give you plenty of
encouragement and coaching. Then
afterwards, you can have fun in the
bar with the camaraderie and tall
stories from some of the characters in
the photos below!
Finally, Happy Birthday to our
