R.I.P Bert Spooner
We had already written a tribute to the 100
years life of our dear friend, Bert Spooner,
when we heard the sad news of his passing.
We now intend extending that tribute in the next
issue along with photographs. As my own
personal tribute to Bert I wrote the following
poem.
Bert Spooner 1914 - 2014
In nineteen fourteen in Southend on Sea
Bert Spooner and four siblings formed a happy family.
For his formative years living in Southend,
He made money from the pin ball machines he did mend.
Later joining the police force, patrolling the pier.
At 4 miles long t’was so far, yet so near
To the bombing of London he witnessed it all,
Then joining the air force obeying the call.
It was part of his history, was part of his life
And during it all he made Hilda his wife.
This elegant lady thought Bert was her world
With only son, John their life was unfurled.
On retirement a decision was made to migrate
To Western Australia, you could call it fate.
They followed son, John and his family to here
1980 was the date, a new life with no fear.
A few years on and again they did move
To King Street, Waroona, we all do approve.
Quambie Park was the planned next move for to stay
Unfortunately poor Hilda passed away.
Bert continued the move to the Park for to live
And the happiness and joy to us all he did give.
It was sad to hear of the passing of Bert.
100 years of joy has now turned to hurt.
His memory will live for many many years
Eventually turning sadness to joyful tears.
We love and miss you dearly, Bert
Rest in Peace.

How Did We Survive?
My mum used to cut chicken, chop
eggs and spread butter or scrape on
bread on the same cutting board with
the same knife and no bleach. But we
didn’t seem to get food poisoning……
Our school sandwiches were wrapped
in wax paper in a brown paper bag,
not in ice-pack coolers. I can’t
remember getting eColi.
Almost of all of us would have rather
gone swimming the lake or at the
beach instead of a pristine pool (talk
about boring) no beach closures then.
We all took PE… and risked
permanent injury wearing a pair of
Dunlop sandshoes. No cross-training
athletic shoes with air-cushion soles
and built-in light reflectors that cost as
much as a small car. I can’t recall any
injuries but they must have happened
because they tell us how much safer
we are now.
We got the cane for doing something
wrong at school. They used to call it
WAROONA PENSIONERS
SOCIAL CLUB.
Hope everyone who wants to go on
the Seniors outing to the Peel Zoo
followed by lunch at the Redcliffe on
Murray on 15th May has put their
name down. It will be jointly funded
with the Pensioners with members
only paying for their own lunch. It
should be a good day out and
hopefully the weather will stay fine for
us. The next Casino outing has been
arranged for Monday 26th May. To
book your seat please phone Dot
Hansen on 97331892 as soon as
possible. It is always a fun day. Subs
are now due so if you haven’t yet paid
make sure you do so at the next
meeting. Several of our members are
still sick so we wish them a speedy
recovery and hope they will soon be
well enough to attend our meetings
again.

discipline, yet we all grew up to
accept the rules and to honour and
respect those older than us. We had
50 kids in our class and we all learned
to read and write, do maths and spell
almost all the words needed to write a
grammatically correct letter
……FUNNY THAT!
We all said prayers in school
irrespective of our religion, sang the
National Anthem and no one got
upset.
Staying in detention after school
caught all sorts of negative attention
we wish we hadn’t got.
I thought that I was supposed to
accomplish something before I was
allowed to be proud of myself. I just
can’t recall how bored we were
without computers, play station,
Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV
cable stations. We weren’t.
Oh yea….And where was the
antibiotics and sterilization kit when I
got that bee sting? I could have been
killed!
We played “King of the Hill” on piles of
gravel left on vacant building sites and
when we got hurt, Mum pulled out the
2/6d bottle of iodine and then we got
our backside spanked. Nowadays it’s
a trip to the emergency room,
followed by a 10 day dose of
antibiotics and then Mum calls the
lawyer to sue the contractor for
leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel
where it was such a threat.
Not a single person I knew had ever
been told that they were from a
dysfunctional family. How could be
possibly have known that?
We never needed to get into group
therapy and/or anger management
classes. We were obviously so duped
by so many society ills, that we didn’t
even notice that the entire country
wasn’t taking Prozac

Well done Bullseye, another DD
reader's questions answered. Ed.-oo00oo-Mr. Criss P. Donut, from Palmerston
Parkway, writes of a curious problem:
Whilst out driving, he ran over a rabbit
and was quite perplexed at this
accident. A young lady pulled up,
assessed the problem, went back to
her car, returning with a spray can.
After two squirts, the rabbit jumped
back to life, took two steps forward,
turned and waved, two more steps
forward, turned and waved! He kept
this up for the next 10 minutes,
turning and waving until he went over
the Horizon.
What was in the can, Bullseye? Ed.
After a quick research, Bullseye finds
the answer in the IGA.
Hair Spray revives dead hairs (hares),
to a frequent permanent wave!

FAWCETT ROAD on the west side of
Waroona, named after Captain
Theodore Fawcett, Military Expert,
Adventurer, Vintner, Explorer and
considerable lands owner, active in
the Murray District, from 1850. He
was a Cavalry officer of the 6th
Dragoon Guards and later to be the
Commanding Officer of the Pinjarra
Mounted Volunteers (the Peel
Regions only ever active military
force). Fawcett took up lands in the
1850's, firstly establishing Pinjarra
Park, then exploring land towards
Boddington. He became a road
builder, financing the cost out of his
own pocket, in the development of the
Hamel Block. , building Fawcett Road
from Pinjarra to Hamel Fawcett
introduced scientific and meticulous
record keeping for Agriculture in
Western Australia, particularly in the
newly established, Hamel and Harvey
Agriculture District, introducing Vines,
sourced from Europe, which he
collected during his honeymoon on
the grand European tour. That glass
of local wine that you enjoy, could well
be attributed to this man.
The Murray Roads Board was
founded in 1877, to which he was a
very active member and also became
a member of the Legislative Council
from 1886-1889, for the Murray
Williams District. Captain Theodore
Fawcett passed away in Pinjarra, in
1898.

PROMOTING SENIORS WELLNESS AT QUAMBIE PARK WAROOONA
Quambie Park loves to
see events that provide
opportunities for residents,
clients and senior
members of the Waroona
community come together
to share time and a few
laughs. The “Briscila Card
Game” for the local senior
Italian men held on 2 April
2014 was such an
occasion. The men came
together for a fame of
card, morning team and
lunch held in the Quiet
Room at Pam Corker House. The
men as shown in the photos caught
up with old friends and made some
new ones, while enjoying stories for
the old times and typical Italian lunch
and glass of wine. The event was a
huge success and everyone involved
asked when the next event would be
arranged. At this time a date for the
next event has not been scheduled,
but plans are in place. Quambie Park
understands the significance of
providing opportunities for our senior
men in the community to come
together in a social setting and our
Community Services team are keen to
support similar occasions. For
information on planned events please
contact Community Services Manager
-97331355.
Quambie Park lifestyle team (Nerida
and Kristal) have recently
undertaken training to gain
qualifications to enable
them to provide Tai Chi for
seniors. Since gaining
these qualifications the
ladies have developed a
program to share with local
seniors. Quambie Park
know that by senior
remaining active and
mobile they are preventing
the risk of falls, and assisting them to
maintain social connection and good
mental health. If you drive by Pam
Corker early on a Tuesday morning
your will glimpse a group of our local
seniors participating in Tai Chi on the
front lawn. The session numbers are
growing and feedback from the
participants is very positive. At the
end of each 30 minute session Tai
Chi participants can socialise with a
cuppa before getting on with the rest
of their day. If you’re interested in
trying something new, meeting new or
old friends or just interested to find out
more please contact either Nerida or
Kristal on 97331355. There is a small
participation donation for the Tai Chi
sessions.

The ANZAC Legend:
th
Leading up to 100 Anniversary of the ANZAC day landings at Gallipoli in 2015 we will feature some short articles which will
bring to life the stories from the days during 1915 when our heroic Army Corps fought at Gallipoli. If any readers would like
to contribute a story of a family member involved with the ANZACS either at Gallipoli or in any way in the First World War
please contact the secretary of Drakesbrook Despatch aehandley@lasar.net.au
Some articles will be complied from a book loaned to us by Glenece Walmsley which her Grandfather brought out from
England. The book comprises stories, pictures, cartoons and poetry. Amazingly there is quite a lot of humour too.
“The Anzac Book” was written and Illustrated in Gallipoli by the Men of Anzac for the benefit of Patriotic Funds connected
with the A. & N. Z. A. C.”
The following ANZAC Alphabet paints a fascinating word picture
of conditions one the ground in Gallipoli
A was the Anguish that spread o’er my face
When I saw the remarkable look of the place
B’s “Beachy Bill,” who fired at my ship –
Puctured the funnel and gave me the “pip.”
C was the “Crump” that went by with a screech
As I jumped from a lighter and fell on the beach.
D was the Daring I failed to display
When fragments of shrapnel came whizzing my way.
E was Earth which I found in my hair
As I woke in the morning and crawled from my lair
F were the Fleas and also the Flies,
Who feed on a fellow wherever he lies.
G were the Gripes that gripped me within –
The result of commodities packed in a tin.
H was the Hole that a howitzer made;
It would take me an hour to fill in with a spade.
I
was the Idiot who stuck up my head
Before I was taught to take cover instead.
J was the Jam with our rations and rum –
We found it was almost invariably “Plum.”
K was the Knowledge I quickly acquired
Of hiding whenever the enemy fired.
L Was the Louse that lurked in my vest,
Reconnoitered my person, and tickled my chest
M was the Monitor, firing at night,
Which kept me awake when “above” didn’t bite
N was the “Night stunt,” with trembling heart,
Expecting each moment the Maxims would start.
O’s The O.O.*; let’s give him a cheer –
It isn’t his fault that nothing comes here.
P are the Piers – see them shiver and shake
Whenever a launch makes a wash with her wake.
Q stands for “Quick,” to the tunnel we dash
When a horrible missile explodes with a crash.
R are the Rumours we hear every day
That the Turkish morale has quite faded away.
S is the gilded Staff Officer – who
Censors my letters and tears them in two.
T is the Taube that drones in the sky
(Thank goodness, I haven’t been ordered to fly!)
U is the Underground sap. We expand –
There’s a two-penny tube to the Narrows in hand.
V is for Victory. How we shall sing
Rule, O Brittania, and God Save the King
W the Wire we put round our works –
We generally find that it’s pinched by the Turks.
X the “X-periments” made with a bomb –
A neat little cross on a nice little tomb.
Y in the world have I ever been placed
In a trench of cold water right up to my waist?
Z is the mule corps recruited from Zion,
Bearers of water and rations of iron.”
“Ubique,” 21st Indian Mtn. Battery *Ordnance Officer

ANZAC DAY IN WAROONA
On a beautiful autumn day
approximately 400 people, the
largest number ever, gathered at the
Waroona War Memorial for the
ANZAC Day service. Veterans from
out of town swelled the ranks of the
Waroona/Hamel sub branch of the
RSL for the march from Memorial
Hall. It was led by the two exservice lady members of the R.S.L.
Ivy Wilson and Tracy Fickling.
The Service was conducted by
Frank Wood with John Mason in
charge of the music. Local children
played a prominent part in the
proceedings and did an excellent
job, performing their duties with
dignity and reverence. Jason
Robinson gave a beautiful reading
of a poem.
The R.S.L. sub branch began the
wreath laying followed by local
community groups. In all 15
wreaths were laid. At the conclusion
of the service an open invitation was
given to partake of refreshments in
the Memorial Hall. About 200
people attended some spilling into
the square. To everyone, young
and not-so-young, you honoured
magnificently those who made the
supreme sacrifice.
“Lest we forget”
The R.S.L. Waroona/Hamel sub branch
wishes to thank Waroona Country Café, IGA
and Caltex Petrol Station for their kind
donations and members of the public who
provided food. Your support helped make for
a very successful day. Lastly a thank you to
the teenagers who, when approached,
willingly helped set up the hall on Thursday.

the ANZAC day ceremony in Waroona.
They are each wearing medals won by
their Great Grandfather – Reginald Frank
Eaton. Reginald was in the army during
the war and saw service here in Australia
and in New Guinea. Sadly he passed
away only 8 months after returning home
to Australia. He didn’t get to wear his
medals and Taylor and Jye have
researched their Great Grandfather’s
story and now proudly wear the medals to
honour his memory.

Quilt Show Extended
A Hanging on the Highway opened to
wonderful reviews on Wednesday
April 16th when 100 guests were
welcomed at a light luncheon. On
Wednesday 23rd around 40 attended
the open community morning tea,
including residents of Pam Corker
House. By the time Despatch readers
receive their May edition it is expected
that the exhibition will have been
viewed by well in excess of 1000
visitors. The vast majority of these
have travelled to town to see it and
this has resulted in a gain for local
businesses. Due to the resounding
success, the exhibitors have agreed
Paula Johnstone (Peel Chamber's DDO) and Tanya Forsyth, (Forte Hospitality)
to an extension of the showing. Visitor
Centre Manager and event coordinator, Tracy Goldsworthy, said
“The comments received have been
amazing and well-deserved – our
textile & fabric artists, quilters and
patch workers are very talented and
many, many visitors have said it’s one
of the best exhibitions they’ve
attended. Extending by a week will
allow even more people the
opportunity to come in and we’re
particularly keen to see more locals
drop by. They will not be
disappointed.” The exhibition will
remain open to 3:30pm Monday May
5th, 2014. In addition to seeing the
beautiful works on display, visitors
have the opportunity to purchase from
a selected range of beautiful
handcrafts donated by our
craftspeople, and to purchase tickets
on a lucky numbers board, with all
proceeds to the Waroona Community
Car. Open daily 9:30am – 3:30pm at
Waroona Visitor Centre & Gallery, 37
South West Highway. Phone 9733

Gallery on Facebook. This event is
proudly supported by Shire of
Waroona.
Wheelbarrows to Wheelchairs
his heading from the recent
Wheelchairs-for-Kids newsletter says
it all! In many countries around the
world parents have had to wheel their
severely disabled children around in
wheelbarrows – and very make-shift
ones at that. Many disabled children
were left to fend for themselves,
which included begging on the
streets, while parents worked to eke
out a meagre living for their families.
Wheelchairs for Kids has come to
their aid by providing wheelchairs built
to World Health Organisation (WHO)
specifications – 27,789 chairs in a
world that has 150 million disabled
children. Over the years the design of
the chairs
has kept
evolving to
suit the
physical
needs of
the
children.
A little joy
is added in
the form of
a brightly
coloured knee rug and a small
fluffy or knitted toy, sometimes
also a larger run for the family’s bed.
A group of ladies from Coral’s Charity
Knitting Group recently sent twenty
eight beautiful rugs which were
gratefully received by Brother Olly
Pickett and Ms Beppie de Kuyer at
their Wangara workshops. I had a
tour of the premises and was
impressed by the professional
organisation – yet it is still run by
volunteers! They make the chairs
from materials with donations ($150 is
all it takes to transform a child’s life)
and pack them with everything the
receiving agent needs to assemble
them. The cost to the receiving agent
or organisation is that of the transport
only and wheelchairs are distributed
free of charge to the families. The
Christian Brothers’ schools around
Australia are big supporters both
financially and in the packing/
unpacking of boxes of supplies, etc.
Rotary also is a big player in the
project with Rotarians holding key
positions on the management
committee as well as Chief Executive
Officer (all voluntary). Also they
finance a lot of the transport costs.
Supporters range from a 90 year old
lady who sews for at least three hours
per day making bags that contain the
tools to assemble the chairs, to boys
from a leading college who held a
wheel-athon.
They
come
from all
walks of
life
around
Australia
to aid the
disabled
children
all over
the world.
From
Afghanis
tan to
Zimbabwe, with numbers of chairs
sent from one (El Salvador) to 6507
(Vietnam) each and every child
receives a life-changing gift.

Chooks, Chooks and More Chooks
Easter has already
been and gone an
only seven more
days left in April. I
am pleased to report egg production
has improved to six per day. Penny
the latest edition (Duccle/Wyndotte X)
has settled in well and made mates
with a loner nicknamed wild thing. I
visited my sister Gay in Lesmurdie on
Good Friday and brought the usual
chocolate Easter Eggs but also
normal eggs for family members to
enjoy during the week. All four of
Wally and Joan Landwehr(Deceased),
siblings Lynette, Neil, Gay and Ken
were in attendance for a special
family day . The main course was a
large snapper cooked on an electric
barbecue in alfoil with herbs by
“Young Walter” as Peter Stacey would
say and it was delicious.
Unfortunately my wife, Maryann was
forced to stay behind and babysit the
chooks and more importantly one of
the cats, Leo who was hit by a car on
the Tuesday evening before Easter.
He used up three of his nine lives and
suffered a fractured toe and hairline
fracture of his right rear leg. It was
twice the size of his left leg. Thanks
to Ron, the local vet and staff, he is
recovering well but confined to inside
the house. He looked quite a sight
with purple and white bandages
(Dockers) to stabilise the injuries
along with medication. His mate
Boots is allowed outside to supervise
the chooks much to Leo’s
disappointment. The chooks enjoy
Starting Out Chickens
Before getting chickens you need to
consider a few things. They require a
rain and wind-proof house with
ventilation and space. Cramming
chickens into a small space is
obviously bound to cause problems
both in terms of general health plus
an increase in aggression and other
undesirable vices amongst the group.
There are many kinds of housing from
permanent runs to movable houses
the general rule of thumb is a free
range layer should be allocated a
grass area of 4 square metres. So,
working on that basis, a small
backyard garden type flock of five
hens will require a total area of 20
square metres, which equates to a
rectangular run measuring 4x5m
(12x15’), but of course if you can
provide more space then do so.
Remember chooks can be allowed to
free range your garden and will return
back to the coop with a call and tasty
treat; most can be trained easily to
return to the coop as soon as the sun
starts to set. Remember when free
ranging they are more vulnerable to
predators. But also do keep in mind
chooks love to scratch for bugs, take
dust bathes and love tasty veggie and
flower seedlings, so sometimes
chooks may need restrictions to some
areas of your garden or only have
them out for a few hours each day.
You do not need a rooster to
encourage egg laying. Roosters are
banned in residential areas and are
only required if you want to breed.
Chooks require layer ratio 24/7
provided in a hopper and fresh cool
water 24/7. Yes your backyard
chickens can also eat your scraps but
this must be done in moderation
always feed scraps after 10am so that
your girls have already filled up on
their balance layer ration, fresh fruit
and veggie scraps are suitable but
limit bread and pasta.
There are many breeds in as many
different colours, however, do a little
research as some breeds are
more suited to your backyard than
others. Some of my favourite breeds
for family’s starting out are:
Australorp: a strong dual purpose
chicken,
the Black
Australorp
is a fun
breed.
The
Australorp
has a
calm and friendly nature, hens lay
brown eggs, and plenty of them and
are very docile and calm. Their easygoing nature makes them a good
candidate for families with small
children. Wyandotte: Glamorous,
showy, stately, and a bit of a diva is
how I would describe them. They’re
good foragers who prefer time to free
range. Wyandottes are good egg
layers, providing around 200 eggs per
year. Their eggs are a light to rich
brown colour. Sussex; have
everything; they are great layers of
tinted or light brown eggs--and they
lay right through the coldest weather.
They are dual purpose birds, though
fat-bodied and not prone to flying
when mature, so they are easily
fenced Rhode island red : They're
the do-everything bird: they lay
exceptionally well, they're valued for
their fresh hay and also the driest
April spell for thirteen years. They
love free range activities consequently
they dig a hole and bury themselves
to keep cool and it is okay in Wally’s
Orchard but not the best for the
garden. Just a request for vehicles
travelling on Recreation Road; please
be aware of family pets and chooks
as they don’t unfortunately have much
road sense. Please stick to the speed
limit and at least the animals will have
a fighting chance of avoiding trauma
and injury.
Ken - The Chookyard Farmer
their meat, they're extremely coldhardy, and hardy in general. They are
a smart chicken and not flighty at all very friendly bird. Araucana: Want
something a little different but still a
good starter breed? try an Araucana
they have a relaxed character with a
striking appearance but for even more
fun most good quality araucana will
lay you lots of blue shelled eggs great
fun for the kids. For a bantam breed I
would
recommend:
Silkys, Pekins
or Belgium
D’uccles all
are very kid
friendly
breeds and
lay small
eggs.

By the Pest and Disease
Information Service (PaDIS).
Horticultural crops at risk
Whether they are grown by
commercial producers or by home
gardeners, many food plants are
vulnerable to attack by two particular
pests which need to be controlled in
Western Australia. One is a little fly
from eastern Australia which has not
become established here yet,
although individual specimens have
been found several times. The other
is a large exotic parrot which has
already formed wild populations in our
state. Please report any sightings of
the following two agricultural threats
by ringing the Pest and Disease
Information Service on Freecall 1800
084 881.
Fruit’s worst enemy
With the exception of pineapple every
other kind of fruit and many
vegetables are hosts of Queensland
fruit fly, which has spread far beyond
its home state to invade New South
Wales, Victoria and some Pacific
islands. If fruit is unprotected the
destruction can be 100 per cent, so
growers and gardeners in affected
areas have to strive to control the flies
by using a combination of fruit
bagging, spray baiting, mass trapping
and orchard hygiene.
How it spreads
Queensland fruit fly maggots are
carried inside fruit and vegetables.
Quarantine Western Australia (QWA)
examines all consignments of fresh
produce coming from interstate, to
check for the presence of Queensland
fruit fly and other pests. QWA also
has regulations to deter private
travellers carrying fruit and vegetables
when they enter from interstate by
road, rail or air. All fresh produce must
be binned upon arrival. The
Queensland fruit fly is slightly bigger
than the Mediterranean fruit fly which
many of us are all too familiar. But a
distinct difference in colouring is the
best means of identification. The
thorax is reddish brown with two
yellow “shoulder patches”, the
abdomen is dark brown and the wings
are clear, unlike Mediterranean fruit
fly whose wings have brown bands.
Most outbreaks occur between
November and May, although they
may be seen in cooler months as well.
Problem parrots
Indian ringneck parakeets have the
potential to do great damage in
orchards, vineyards, plantations of cut
flowers and crops such as cereal
grains. Their natural range is subSaharan Africa and southern Asia.
However, they adapt quickly to new
habitats. Populations descended from
the escape or release of caged birds
have spread through Europe, the
USA, the Middle East, Japan and
elsewhere. The Indian ringneck has a
red beak and a long tail, and its
natural plumage colour is grassgreen. However, breeders have
produced other body hues including
grey, white, yellow and blue. Mature
males have narrow black and pink
collars. The flight pattern is swift and
direct with rapid wing beats. These
parakeets have a variety of distinctive
screeching calls, notably a shrill “keeak” unlike that of any native parrot.
How they escape
Today anyone owning an Indian
ringneck must confine it to a secure
cage or double door aviary, and must
have a permit to legally keep it.
Sometimes careless owners have
been to blame for these parakeets
escaping captivity. People may walk
outside with the bird sitting on their
shoulder, not expecting that one day
their pet may decide to make a dash
for freedom.
Whenever Indian ringnecks are
reported the Department of Agriculture
and Food (DAFWA) sends officers to
remove them from the wild. As a result
the species has not established selfsustaining populations in Western
Australia. Unwanted birds should be
surrendered, not released. This may
be done through pet shops licensed to
sell aviary birds, through bird fanciers
licensed to keep Indian ringnecks, or
through animal rehoming charities.
Alternatively contact Invasive Species
at DAFWA.

An Obituary printed in the London Times. February 7, 2013
Today we mourn the passing of a
beloved old friend, Common Sense,
who has been with us for many years.
No one knows for sure how old he
was, since his birth records were long
ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He
will be remembered as having
cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the
rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple,
sound financial policies (don't spend
more than you can earn) and reliable
strategies (adults, not children, are in
charge). His health began to
deteriorate rapidly when wellintentioned but overbearing
regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged
with sexual harassment for kissing a
classmate; teens suspended from
school for using mouthwash after
lunch; and a teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, only
worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when
parents attacked teachers for doing
the job that they themselves had
failed to do in disciplining their unruly
children. It declined even further
when schools were required to get
parental consent to administer sun
lotion or an aspirin to a student; but
could not inform parents when a
student became pregnant and wanted
to have an abortion. Common Sense
lost the will to live as the churches
Stuart’s Sharpening Services
Bring in your chainsaws and all tools you wish to
Sharpen, bring your old tools
back to life
became businesses; and criminals
received better treatment than their
victims. Common Sense took a
beating when you couldn't defend
yourself from a burglar in your own
home and the burglar could sue you
for assault. Common Sense finally
gave up the will to live, after a woman
failed to realize that a steaming cup of
coffee was hot. She spilled a little in
her lap, launched a lawsuit and was
promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in
death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
- I Know My Rights
- I Want It Now
- Someone Else Is To Blame
- I'm A Victim
- Pay me for Doing Nothing
Not many attended his funeral
because so few realized he was gone.

Small Landowner News
With Jodie Whitfield - Manager
Small Landowner
Information Service
Dept.of Agriculture & Food,
Western Australia
Autumn is here and as we still wait for
those rains to come, it is important to
preserve your soil health, minimise
erosion and meet the nutritional
needs of your livestock.
It is the perfect time to be sowing new
pastures or making sure your existing
pastures are in great shape. A crucial
step in this process is to ensure you
are achieving good weed and insect
control.
All weed control will require several
years of repeated effort to reduce the
seed bank. It is best to use several
methods of control as relying solely
on herbicides (especially if you are
not rotating chemical groups), can
result in a build-up of herbicide
resistance which should be avoided.
Weeds that are common pasture
pests in winter include variegated
thistle, Paterson’s curse and Cape
tulip. For more information on
declared weeds and control methods
visit agric.wa.gov.au. If you do have
areas where there are significant bare
patches in your paddocks, spreading
some form of straw over the top can
be an option to prevent wind and
water erosion. If paddocks are bare
also consider placing stock into one
paddock and supplementary feeding
them in a confined area. It may be
necessary to continue to
supplementary feed animals for 6-8
weeks after the rains come and to
keep animals in the confinement
paddocks in order to allow the pasture
to establish.
When re-introducing animals that
have been maintained on dry
supplementary feeds to green
pasture, it is best to do it when their
stomachs are full. Some stock may
experience digestive problems, so be
sure to monitor them closely. It can
take 2-3 weeks for a ruminant’s
stomach bacteria to adjust to green
feed. Continuing to supplement their
diet with hay can help with the
transition from dry to green feed. Any
pregnant or lactating animals will have
higher nutritional needs, so it is
important they are given access to
enough feed. Dealing with any
concerns you have about your
property before they get too big, will
keep you on track to developing the
property of your dreams.

Waroona Veterinary News - Winter in Coming
Believe it or not, cold and hopefully
wet weather will be here very soon.
Clipping: If your pet is due for
clipping do it soon before we get the
really cold weather. Small pets that
are clipped back may require coats at
night if they live outside.
Fleas: Don’t stop flea treatment just
because we get cooler weather. Fleas
tend to breed year round and if you
don’t keep flea treatment up to date
over winter you may be overwhelmed
with a backyard (or home) full of fleas
come spring time. And don’t forget to
treat ALL pets in the household at the
same time. Often we find the forgotten
cat becomes the source of fleas even
if the dogs in the household are all
treated.
Arthritis: If your pet struggled with
the cold weather last year start
arthritis treatments now! You may
start to see your pet exhibit some of
the following signs - favouring a limb,
difficulty sitting or standing or
appearing stiff, hesitancy to jump, run
or climb stairs, lack of appetite,
decreased activity or less interest in
play, attitude or behaviour changes
(such as interacting less with family
members of other pets) and
reluctance to cover faeces or urine in
the litter tray (cats). If your pet exhibits
any of these signs talk to your vet
about what can be done to make your
pet more comfortable. Some aging
pets will benefit from switching to a
senior specific diet. The aim of
feeding a senior specific diet is to help
support the aging immune system, a
potentially more sensitive digestive
tract, joints and aid in maintaining
lean muscle mass. They often also
have reduced levels of phosphorus
and sodium to help maintain heart
and kidney health. A good quality
senior food should contain higher
levels of antioxidants, high-quality
easy to digest protein, essential fatty
acids as well as glucosamine and
chondroitin sulphate to help support
healthy joints and cartilage. If you
prefer not to use a commercially
based food, try adding glucosamine
and chondroitin sulphate supplements
as well as Omega 3 Fatty Acids from
fish oils. Supplements such as
Omega 3 Fatty Acids may be of
benefit to pets suffering from arthritis.
Colic: With the first rains has come a
hint of green in the paddocks. Whilst it
looks nice, this is the time that we see
most sand-related colics in horses.
They pick the greens including a nice
big clump of sand with the roots. This
can accumulate in the large intestines
and cause all sorts of trouble. Colic
due to mild or severe gut pain is the
most frightening and costly
presentation, but we also see chronic
diarrhoea and ill thrift due to sand.
You can reduce the risk of sand
impaction by continuing to supply
good quality and quantity of
supplemental feed. Good teeth and
worm control also seem to help, so
check the teeth and worm your horses
(continued on next page)
MAY 2014 Page 32
(Vets Article continued from page 31)
if you have not done so lately. If your
horse gets colic you usually see
pawing at the ground, restlessness,
rolling and kicking at the flanks. If this
does not settle quickly with walking it
is time to call the vet. Colics can
easily become fatal if unattended or
unlucky.
Worms: For owners of sheep and
other ruminants such as goats or
alpacas, make sure your animals are
wormed. Barber’s pole worm is a
concern at this time of year. With
Barber’s pole worm, large worm
burdens can develop quickly and in
acute cases can cause death without
any warning signs. Barber’s pole
worms suck the blood of their hosts
and symptoms are often related to the
degree of blood loss. Signs can
include: Weakness or collapse if
driven, anaemia (evident by white
mucous membranes around the eyes
and white gums - rather than pink)
and in some cases fluid filled under
jaw swellings. What to do - Make
sure you worm your animals with an
appropriate drench. Faecal egg
counts can be useful in directing your
worming program. For detailed
information on Barber’s pole worm
see the Department of Agriculture
Farm Note on the subject (available
on the internet at http://

Waroona Football Club News by Forward Pocket:
Waroona Football
Club results in their
first three games
have been mixed
despite an
impressive preseason run of
victories. All three
squads - League,
Reserves and Colts
have won one game
out of three to date and hopefully that
trend can be reversed against
Centrals this Saturday on our home
ground. Centrals have been on a
huge recruitment drive this year and
former WAFL stars Theo Adams and
Ryan Murphy head that list. Adams
and Daniel “Buckets” Wilson their
Vice Captain heading the PFL
Goalkickers list. Hopefully Waroona
will regain some of their playing list
who return from injury, being
unavailable thro work or weddings. It
was a shock prior to the Easter break
to lose all three games to Halls Head
for the first time since they joined the
Peel Football League about seven or
eight years ago. A sincere thankyou
to all local supporters and patrons
who purchased wood raffle tickets on
Easter Saturday. Your continued
support is much appreciated. The new
bar improvements will again be tested
in our second home game on
Saturday afternoon and the Mini
grandstand is a great place to watch
local football matches which are of a
very high standard.
Thank you to the Shire for further
grass (improvements) and the
replanting of areas which were
impacted upon by black beetles or
wear and tear. Hopefully the rain
which is predicted on Sunday will
further improve the playing surface
arena.
I will have more to report in the June
edition and a Premiership ladder for
readers to inspect. Forward pocket.

2014 CLOSING DAY DETAILS
Change of habits in local fauna
Orthinologists have noted that the
once rare, but now common male
“Big mouthed bowl bearing bird “
having shed its summer plumage of
white with a bright red neck has not
migrated this year but is still hanging
around in its winter plumage.
This bird is noted for its loud call of
“yard on, draw to kitty” and its distress
cry of “wrong bias wrong bias.” It is
sometimes called the camel bird
because of its capacity for liquid
intake.
Its breeding habits are obscure as it is
never seen with a female.
