Keeping their four paws ahead of the local dog catcher, Rusty and Sandy have been on the loose in Lake Grace getting to know the locals and putting their Home Hardware stamp of authority on the community. Not only have Sandy and Rusty been getting to know the bar staff at the Lake Grace Hotel and enjoying the sportsmanship of a game of pool but they have been providing invaluable assistance to the Shire in the construction of the new self-funded retirement houses in Bennett Street and of course helping Mark Seaman with the heavy lifting

involved on the gas run. Rusty and Sandy became the representatives for Home Timber and Hardware when the group was formed from the amalgamation of Homestead and Homesaver Hardware groups in March 1993. Home Timber and Hardware immediately saw their undeniable potential as the loveable rogues that they are and they were recruited on the spot to become the face of the brand. Over the years, Rusty and Sandy have had an array of merchandise produced in their honour

The youth photo competition closes today! Well done to those who entered photos, the quality has been fantastic and the voters have been gobsmacked to find that the oldest photographer has only been 12 years of age! We will have the results from the competition in the next paper.

Living Communities Lake Grace had a meeting this week to discuss their future. The general consensus amongst those who attended was that there was no need for Lake Grace to have a voice for business, however they were quite open to the suggestion of the CRC hosting training workshops as they are requested. However the group will continue organising the Late Night Shopping, which this year will be held on Friday 14th December. Due to the cost the main street will not be closed off, instead the event will be held in the Plaza car park, with part of Bennett, Carruthers and perhaps McMahon streets being closed off. One point that did come up was the relationship between customer and business; some felt that the relationship wasn’t as productive as it should be. Is local business trying as hard as it should? Are customers expecting too much? What do you think? Do you have a local good news story that you would like to share with us?

Some suggestions for workshops that have been

made are: Understanding & Managing Anxiety (3hr), Living the Life You Want (3hr), Understanding & Managing Depression (3hr), The Art of Communication (3hr), Understanding & Managing Stress (3hr) and Using Writing as a Life Skill (6hr). To fit in with work schedules these courses can be run in the evening (the writing one could be spread over two evenings or one day depending upon demand). If you are interested then please contact the CRC and let us know.

It’s not too late to throw your hat in the ring for the grant writing workshop. This workshop will help you help your group.

We have had a great response to our e-commerce workshop (setting up a website and the use of social media in your business) that will be held on Wednesday September 19th. All of the FREE one-on-one training places have been taken up, however there are still plenty of places available for the workshop. The more the merrier!!

If you are interested in gaining your multi combination licence both Kulin and Jerramungup are attempting to get the numbers to host one (please see classifieds page). Please phone the appropriate numbers if you wish to put your name down.

Thank You

Mike and Marie Martin would like to extend their gratitude to all the people in Lake Grace that assisted us with our recent house move.

There were a lot of people who helped out in some way, whether to move furniture, help

paint, give Mike handyman advice, cook meals, give us free stuff, look after our

children or fix broken water mains and we very much appreciate it.

It also confirms our decision to stay in Lake Grace for a little while is the right one as

there are so many wonderful people here.

"An appreciation message to the Lions Club of Lake Grace”

With special thanks to you all.

To know you is to know people who are kind, considerate and thoughtful. We are so grateful for your support and busy bee at our house. Thank you to Elsie, Maureen, Margaret, Joan, Irene and Annie for their help as well. For everything you have done, for being the special people you are - Thank You so very much.

Lion Alan and Hazel

A special thank you also to Sergeant Martin Downey and the Staff of Lake Grace Police Station for the prompt attention to the recent damage to our property. Your assistance has been sincerely appreciated. Many thanks.

Seniors and pensioners who live by themselves often fail to approach FESA’s State Emergency Service (SES) for help, even when they have suffered major structural damage to their homes. The SES are there to assist people whose homes have sustained storm damage but often the people who need help the most are the ones least likely to ask for it. SES District Manager Glenn Hall urged seniors and pensioners to call on volunteers when they need assistance, saying that they should not suffer in silence or attempt to do extensive work themselves. “People are being reminded the services of the SES are free and volunteers can help residents with all sorts of major damage to their homes,” Mr Hall said. “SES can attend to trees that have fallen on homes and cars, significant structural damage, such as roofs or ceilings, and can help if your home has been badly flooded. “If your home has sustained damage from a storm that you can’t fix yourself, the SES is there to help with temporary repairs while you contact your insurance company to organise a more permanent solution.”

Mr Hall said that in addition to contacting the SES, another option for people who might be living on their own was to seek help from neighbours, family or friends. If assistance with storm repairs is required, seniors are encouraged to call the SES on 132 500 and identify themselves to the operator, particularly if they live alone, as volunteers will make those calls a priority. “Older people often understate the damage to their home, as they don’t want to be a burden, so it’s important they provide as much information as possible to the operator about their situation so we can allocate the job appropriately,” Mr Hall said. “The 132 500 number is for you to use when your home has been damaged by a storm and you need urgent assistance. To report all life threatening emergencies you should call triple zero (000).” People should contact their insurance company to report damage and organise permanent repairs.

including singing / flipping & giant plush toys, clothes, stationery, bobble heads and even bumper car stickers. Home Timber & Hardware stores across the country have sold and given away many hundreds of thousands of these over the years and they have even bobbed up on popular TV programs, magazines and in other media. They are without doubt universally loved by adults and kids alike and will continue to be so into the future. As part of the launch of CCL Hardware joining the Home Hardware family, Allan & Rita Marshall and staff are hosting a sausage sizzle lunch on Friday 17th August. There will be supplier demonstrations, give-aways, door prizes and balloons and lollies for the kids. Demonstrations run from 10am to 2pm and kids are more than welcome at the shop after school. So before the pounds catches up with them, Sandy and Rusty would like you to come down to CCL Hardware so they can meet you!

Profile - Rusty the ‘Tradie’ dog He´s a trade dog who grew up in the country. He’s the consummate professional in all things DIY. There´s not a tool or technique with which he is not familiar. If it´s changing a tap washer or knocking up a new pergola he´s got it covered. From a hinge for a door to a compound mitre saw, Rusty knows the proper way to use it, maintain it and all the safety tips. He´s in his element shooting the breeze with the staff at his local Home Timber and Hardware store who, like Rusty, loves to swap the Proper DIY story. Like a good friend, there´s nothing Rusty likes more than passing on that info to anyone who needs a hand, including his best mate Sandy.

Profile - Sandy the ‘Do It Yourself’ dog He´s your suburban dog, who is a self confessed D.I.Y. tragic. Once as handy as an ashtray on a motorbike, thanks to years of giving it a go and the endless Proper advice from Rusty and the team at his local Home Timber and Hardware store, he can now hold his own and make any project a success. While Sandy would sometimes much prefer to get Rusty to do all his DIY projects and handyman jobs, when he’s not always that flush with funds or there is that little job that the missus wants done that just can´t wait, he’ll gladly get on his workpants, visit his local Home for some Proper advice and give it a go.

It’s now nearly the middle of August and the year has flown, we have had a quiet few months as the cold does not seem to entice artists, people and even the camera club, out from their warm spaces to meetings, get togethers or photo shoots.

Undercover underwear is up in the Art Space window, we had a few artists take up the challenge. Maybe the display will increase over the month, watch that space?

Prior to the underwear display Phil Young had a great display of his wood work in the Art Space window. Lots of time and patience there (a devotion to his craft). Phil was telling me that it took over 180 hours to make the train. If anyone saw anything in the window they would like to buy just catch up with Phil as it is for sale.

Doug and Val Whiting are back with THOMAS THE TANK again next week, a whole room full of Thomas. Go in and check it out, even if you are not with a kid! It’s amazing how much Thomas they have. Last time the Whiting’s set up their display some of the kids and adults came to visit every day………..every one loves trains.

Greg And Darren have finally finished fixing the back wall since Arjo’s was broken into. Great job boys! Thank you and lets hope no one breaks in again.

Notes from our last meeting for those that have missed out or are interested in coming along.

Printmaking workshop - Have had a very slow response but more members at the meeting indicated that they where interested. We will go ahead and organise to do this in September.

We discussed whether we should try to get together more often, but this was inconclusive. Still worth thinking about, bringing along your present project or unfinished projects to work on. Maybe we should get together on Saturdays like the craft group so it doesn’t clash with the members that work……………………………

Drawing day was discussed as it didn’t seem to work on Thursday afternoons. No concrete decisions.

Newdegate Field Days. Every one was encouraged to put at least one piece in as the viewing public enjoy seeing local artists with their work in. There are lots of us around but very few had work in the Field Days last year. Only one local artist put work in the exhibition.

Narrogin Show is in October, Taryn is going to source entry forms.

Kondinin Art Show. Val is going to source entry form for this.

Woolarama. Taryn is going to try and get them to send us some entry forms for a change.

Questions were asked about the steam spunk workshop. Tania was going to talk to artist about a workshop so will see if she has any information for next

meeting.

Question was asked about us doing work at the pool, again we were unable to answer that question so will find out what is happening. I think there is a change with pool managers .

Members were not keen to do the wind festival this year, but they were keen to combine the idea for a Christmas exhibition. Outdoor Christmas baubles installed around town?! We thought we would make them out of paper maché and seal them well to make them as waterproof as possible and hope it doesn’t rain in December. We decided that we would meet each week in the month of October to get the forms made and then that gives us November for the decorating and sealing ready for December installation. Something Christmassy for December . For those of you that would like to make more precious baubles or work not suitable for street installation we still hope to have a window Christmas display so keep working on those pieces. We will be looking for things to stick to the baubles, whether to create form texture or shape or decoration. All donations will be greatly appreciated; lace sequins, glitter, buttons, Christmas paper, polystyrene shapes, fabric, fluoro paint etc etc. If you have any good ideas please send them in so I can share with everyone else. If you are able to collect some things (especially for free) that can be shared with everyone please do. All donations gratefully received. Any ideas of how to create a round form inexpensively (other than paper maché over a balloon) would also be appreciated. Maybe someone has some good ideas on how to create Christmas trees to be installed outside for December as well. If you do please let us know and we will work on it.

We are looking for an artist that can give us an air brush workshop so if anyone knows anyone or has a friend that could teach this technique it would be greatly appreciated.

Tania, Jayne, Catherine, Amanda, Graham, Taryn, Phil and myself went down to Albany to the opening of Julia Sutton and Christine Baker’s (Ball) exhibition at the Vancouver Art Centre. We will show you some images of the exhibition at next meeting. If any one goes to an exhibition and is able to take photos please bring them along to the meeting to share, then we all get inspired (maybe). We can use our projector to show and tell, so you can bring them on a USB or disk or even your camera SD card (even a hard copy if you have had them printed out).

Our next meeting is at 1pm Tuesday 21st August. Come at 10am with work in progress, something to do or knowledge or information to share. This week we will show images of the Keeping Safe exhibition that was held in Perth in May and some of the Images of Julia’s and Christine’s works, while you are working.

Artworks from a variety of artists and crafts people around town have been gracing the front window of the Lake Grace Multi Artspace for everyone to enjoy. Over the last twelve months these displays have been changing every month or so. With that in mind, the art group decided on a new topic, something that would create conversation, curiosity and laughter from those who have taken a look in the window. With only a small display (it is thought that people were a little bit wary of what was asked of them) the title for this new window display is called ‘Undercover Underwear’. It was asked of local artists to create a piece of art that originated from an email joke about New Zealand underwear. The idea was created to challenge artists with a different way of thinking; a different subject to what they usually choose to create from.

These artworks were to stretch the artists imagination and the viewing public’s, for people to enjoy and laugh at, enjoying the humour behind the creation Artists were given the brief (no pun intended) from the start to make artworks any size, by any medium and either as a 2D or 3D piece of art. Given this large possibility to create artworks, the pieces in the window have been created from rubber, fabric, bread bags and paintings. Please keep an eye out for future window displays that will take up part of the window at the front of the Multi Artspace, they change on a regular basis. Other artists or crafts people are also invited to exhibit in the Art space windows, you just need to get in contact with the art group and have your time booked in on the calendar of events.

In cold climates Cut or pluck dead flowers from bulbs, but allow their leaves to die down naturally. August is a good month to plant and prepare a new vegetable bed. Spray copper oxychloride or Fungus Fighter onto peach and nectarine trees when their new buds start to swell. Prune roses and transplant deciduous trees and shrubs while they’re still dormant. In temperate climates Finish rose pruning. After pruning give roses a clean-up spray with lime sulphur. Spray weedy lawns with bindi killer or Weed ’n’ Feed. New season’s dahlia tubers can go into well prepared, sunny garden beds. Feed camellias and azaleas after they finish

blooming. Any trimming should be done at this time. Happy gardening! Information taken from Yates Garden Guide, 41st edition.

I am often confronted with the “new technology” that is supposedly the replacement for what dinosaurs like me have relied on all our lives to connect with other humans, face to face listening and talking. Before my recent trip overseas one of my granddaughters said “you need to get with it Gramps and get on Facebook.” So I took her advice, and her help! And set up my very own Facebook page. I asked a few family and friends if they wanted to be my “friends,” weird really I thought they already were, but they agreed, and then it started. You have no idea how many people I hadn’t seen for years who suddenly were asking me if they could also be a “friend.” Also how many people who I didn’t know at all, who also wanted to be my friend, which was quite flattering and stroked my ego. For the next few weeks I wrote on my wall small snippets about our trip, posted photos and generally kept this growing band of interested people informed of our activities and where we were. The process was easy and much more efficient than some of the older ways, like sending post cards, to do this task, but was it really communication? I think we need to remember that when we have a face

to face conversation a lot more than words make up the conversation. It is said that the verbal part of a conversation only accounts for about fifteen percent of the interaction. In other words how we read the body language, tone of voice, urgency in the voice etc give us much better information about the words being spoken than the words themselves. For men particularly, how they are is often contradicted by what they say. When you ask a man how he is he will respond with “I’m OK”. But your gut, or ability to read the other non verbal signs tell you otherwise. This is why face to face conversation is so important. When we are distressed we need to keep talking face to face, read the signs, be empathetic, and supportive and show that we care. Talking is one of the best practical ways we can support each other and when we don’t people can feel very alone and that no one cares. Modern communication methods are a means of transmitting information but they don’t replace our need for personal contact. Don’t forget the basic need to read the non verbal signs in any conversation to give us the whole picture.

Please enjoy the stories of Dr Francios and Henriette Jacobs. Anyone wanting to tell their story please contact the Lake Grace CRC on 9865 1470 or email [email protected] I was born a few decades ago in rural South Africa. The son of a teacher and a housewife, as mothers were called in those days.

Growing up in a mining community posed all kinds of challenges for a young boy like bullying etc. I managed to survive this as well as boarding school. After school, I did the compulsory army service as an infantry solder.

The army, although tough, taught me some valuable lessons. The emphasis on team work as a means of survival has left a lasting impression on me, something that has helped me in my life. During this period I flirted briefly with the idea of becoming a hotel manager, but finally decided to study medicine.

In my fifth year medicine, I met my present wife, Henriette, and we married at the end of that year. I became a "house husband" supported by my wife, who then had a "real job".

After my house surgeon year, I spent some time in the then Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), as a locum on a small mission hospital, near Fort Victoria. As one of only 2 doctors, I had the privilege of working with a remarkable person, Dr Dale du Toit. I witnessed him perform operations on people blinded by cataracts and glaucoma. He was certainly the Fred Hollows of Africa. I witnessed a man who was blind, crossing the border between Mozambique and Zimbabwe, being led by his grand son, who could help him get into a tree whenever there were threats from Lions and Hyenas. I saw him kissing the feet of Dr du Toit when his sight was restored with the help of corrective lenses. He had seen this grandson for the first time in 15 years. Caesarian sections were performed under local anesthesia. Sometimes there was only one doctor available on the mission station. An area the size of the Wheatbelt with only one doctor! When I read about Dr Margaret Clarke's work in this area, I had a very good idea of the work she had done here.

The name of the mission station was "Morgenster" (Morning Star) I eventually became a private practicing GP, after working in country hospitals. A lot of my surgical skills were honed here. I held the appointment of "police surgeon" for a few years, while practicing in Port Shepstone (Natal Province). I often wondered how I survived the

gruesome scenes I sometimes witnessed, and how I came out unscathed I think) emotionally and mentally.

General Practitioners in those days were very multi skilled and we performed a large amount of surgical and anesthetic procedures.

By then, Henriette had produced 3 wonderful sons, Jacques, Johan and Charl-Pierre. Again, she had a real job, albeit without any pay. I guess the real reward was the absolute loyalty bestowed on her by the boys. We left South Africa in 1992. We were some of the first pioneers that invaded New Zealand. The green fields of New Zealand quite in stark contrast to the dry, barren periods of drought where you were you could be looking into sterile skies for weeks and months. The Wheatbelt would know all about it. Working in a group practice was quite a relief from the full time on call of rural practice. Alas! Nobody wanted my surgical skills anymore, as with specialists on you door step, all my surgical skills became redundant.

I kept practicing obstetrics for many years, but eventually decided to retire from this at the end of my younger son's school career. I finally could sleep through most of the nights. Many a weekend was postponed at the last minute for an untimely delivery.

Eventually, we decided it was time for a change, and left New Zealand for Lake Grace. Not before I had to sit an English language proficiency exam, though. After convincing the Australian authorities I could speak English, they decided I could work here. A few other hurdles had to be overcome, but here we are!

Lake Grace has treated us kindly [so far) and it is a privilege to work with competent staff in both the Medical Center and Lake Grace hospital. The local taxpayer contributions paid for the house we live in as well as the motor vehicle and the Medical Center.

Many thanks for this Francios Jacobs

Janes Stories - Dr Francios Jacobs


My life started on a small Citrus farm in North Western Transvaal in South Africa. My British born grandfather came to South Africa as a soldier in the Anglo Boer War. After the war he fell in love with the country and also with a young lady who was in one of their Concentration camps in Mafeking. He married her and never went back to England again.

They bought a farm in the Groot-Marico District and lived there till they passed away, so did my father - their only child. I and my siblings had the privilege to grow up on this farm where my dad grew export oranges for most of the time. We used to help sort and polish these beautiful sweet oranges before it was wrapped in special tissue paper and packed for exporting. We roamed the hills around the farm always on the lookout for dangerous animals - baboons, the odd leopard, and of course always the poisonous snakes and scorpions. There was enough adventure to keep us happy.

Both my grandparents were accomplished musicians and I had my first piano lesson at the age of 6 from my grandmother. She installed in me a love and an interest for music and gardening that remained with me for my life. She also taught me to use a gun with great accuracy from a young age as we so often had to shoot poisonous snakes on the farm.

After high school in Pretoria, I decided to become a Dietician and went to the University of Pretoria where I met my husband Francois during a tramping trip along the coast of the Transkei at the end of my third year.

I worked in the Pretoria General Hospital for a year after I had qualified and then accepted a job for the S.A Government as one of only two Dieticians at the Department of Prisons, as it was called in those days. My job was to conduct training courses for both prisoners as well as staff. We trained prisoners to become chefs or waiters. The staff were trained to be able to train the prisoners. I also had to train a different group of staff to handle all food and nutritional matters in the Department of Prisons for the Republic of South Africa and Namibia (which was still a part of the Republic of S A at that stage).

I wrote a book for training purposes and this book was still used until recently for their training. During this time I accepted a position as an external examiner for the French Hotel School in South Africa as we worked closely with them to coordinate training.

After we got married and moved away from Pretoria, I set up a small private practice and also taught piano lessons, as music was still my passion. We always preferred to live in the countryside of South Africa and

also wanted to experience the different Provinces with the result that we lived and worked in Natal and also the Cape Province for some time.

I always wanted to learn something new and decided to put dietetics aside and study law. At the end of my third year we decided to move to New Zealand to give our three sons a better future.

As South Africa and New Zealand have different legal systems I could not continue my law studies and had to look for something different to do. Having a background in Science it was easy to find a job in the Gisborne Hospital Laboratory where I also got my training as a phlebotomist. After eleven years working in the hospital I got a job offer from an Audiologist who started a new Audiology Clinic and needed a practice manager.

While working at the Audiology Clinic I was trained to do hearing screenings and also to help with minor hearing aid repairs and problems. I learned so much about being deaf and the difficulties that goes with such a handicap

Music featured high on the list of hobbies in Gisborne. I soon joined the Gisborne Choir where we sang in a great variety of concerts, from light music to Requiems and operas. Francois and I both took part in the opera La Traviata which we both enjoyed immensely.

I joined the New Zealand National Choir and then the World Festival Choir, which took me to Australia for the first time, to take part in the wonderful Verdi Requiem concert. Luciano Pavarotti was the tenor soloist that sang with us. We had concerts in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, an unforgettable experience.

Our youngest son played violin in the Youth Orchestra and when he changed to viola, I took his violin and started with violin lessons. I always wanted to join an orchestra and Gisborne had a Civic orchestra that did several concerts every year. After I had done all the necessary exams and had the qualification that was needed to join an orchestra I became one of the Gisborne Civic Orchestra's violinists, until we left Gisborne for Australia last year.

We are very privileged to be able to live in WA at the moment. I am quite eager to see what I could learn and experience and most important, contribute to this beautiful country for the time that we will be here.

From the CEO’s Desk

Greetings to you all. I am the new Acting Chief Executive Officer relieving the Acting Chief Executive Officer, Graeme Simpson, for seven weeks, while he travels overseas. I have been here a little over a week and am really enjoying the experience. I have previously worked as CEO at the Shires of Nungarin, Mt Marshall and Boddington and spent eight years in Narembeen as Postmaster initially and then the Assistant Shire Clerk, so am quite familiar with the country lifestyle. Graeme and I drove to Newdegate, Lake King and Varley on 2

nd August to

allow me to become familiarised with the district. I was very impressed with the facilities each of the communities has. Many local authorities would be envious of the sporting venues and community premises provided for residents. Since commencing in the role on 6

th August I and other Shire staff have

been working towards striking a budget for 2012/2013, which must be adopted by 31

st August. Rate notices will be issued as soon as this process

has been completed. I notice that the Newdegate Field Days are approaching. I have attended the Field Days previously and am aware that they are well organised and provide an important source of income for the community. Whilst Newdegate is the main beneficiary, other businesses in the district i.e. accommodation providers, food outlets, fuel suppliers, etc. also benefit. Supporting the Field Days benefits the entire district. I wish the organisers well with this year’s event. Peter Bradbrook

Busselton residents and researchers from The University of Western Australia have contributed to a worldwide scientific collaboration that has identified new genetic links in the quest to map the biological pathways that cause diabetes.

In two papers published online today in Nature Genetics the researchers have identified a substantial number of new loci (the specific place on a chromosome where a gene is located) linked with glycemic traits and type 2 diabetes (T2D) that have not been described in previous research.

Diabetes is a condition where there is too much glucose, a type of sugar, in the blood. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes affecting some 90 per cent of all people with diabetes. It is sometimes described as a ‘lifestyle disease’ strongly associated with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity.

In the study ‘Large-scale association analysis provides insights into the genetic architecture and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes’ researchers extended the discovery and characterisation of variants influencing susceptibility to T2D.

The study expanded T2D association analysis to almost 150,000 individuals and in so doing added another 10 loci to the list of confirmed variant signals.

It also concluded that genetic profiling had the potential to provide a useful risk assessment for developing T2D.

The second paper titled “Large-scale association analyses identify new loci influencing glycemic traits and provide insight into the underlying biological pathways” discovered another 38 new loci with glycemic traits not described in previous research, taking the total number of signals influencing glycemic traits to 53.

“This research will provide a better understanding of the genes associated with glycemic control that may interact with environmental factors and trigger diabetes,” co-author Dr Jennie Hui from the UWA Schools of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Population Health said.

The research collaborations also included scientists from The University of Western Australia’s Centre for Genetic Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and the UWA School of Medicine and Pharmacology in conjunction with the Busselton Population Medical Research Institute. The Busselton Health Study (BHS) is one of the world’s longest running epidemiological research programs. Since 1966, it has contributed to an understanding of many common diseases and health conditions. The unique BHS database is compiled and managed by UWA’s School of Population Health.

During July the Department of Environment and Conservation planted a total of 32,000 native seedlings within the Lake Bryde Recovery Catchment. The planting programme focused on two specific sites this year which are:

DEC Purchased Block (approximately 800ha of land between Lake Bryde and Lakelands Nature Reserves which has been revegetated by DEC over the past 10 years).

Willcocks Private Property (land adjacent to

the western boundary of Lakelands Nature Reserve which has been given to DEC to act as a buffer between the agricultural land and Lakelands Nature Reserve due to its unproductive nature).

20,000 seedlings were planted on Willcocks private property whilst 12,000 were planted on the DEC purchased block. The project was completed by DEC staff from Katanning, Narrogin, Collie and Harvey and covered an area totaling approximately 20ha. The project was solely funded by the DEC and aims to create a continuous vegetation corridor (DEC purchased block) between Lake Bryde and Lakelands Nature Reserves. In the case of planting on Willcocks private property, the aim is to buffer Lakelands Nature Reserve whilst managing salinity and runoff effectively. In addition to the planting programme, the Lake Bryde Recovery Catchment team completed cost-share projects with landholders within the catchment. These projects include fencing of remnant bush, planting seedlings on private property and installation of dams in

line with recovery catchment goals. This year three dams have been installed on two private properties and approximately 9km of fencing has been erected to protect remnant bush. The cost-share scheme is proving very popular with landholders within the catchment and is a useful way of achieving mutually beneficial outcomes. If you are interested in cost-share projects within the Lake Bryde Recovery Catchment or have any queries work please contact Kevin Hemmings at the DEC Office in Katanning on 9881 9254. Alternatively the Lake Bryde Recovery team will be at the Newdegate Field Day on the 5

th and 6

th September.

During July the Department of Environment and Conservation planted a total of 60,000 native seedlings in the Tarin Rock area. The planting was undertaken by DEC staff from Katanning, Narrogin, Collie and Harvey on 3 private properties and totaled approximately 40 Ha.

The projects were jointly funded by the DEC’s Tarin Rock Priority Landscape project and by the South West Catchment Council’s Ecobridge programme, with in-kind contributions from the landholders.

The Tarin Rock project aims to create vegetation corridors by linking and expanding existing remnants of vegetation to protect the area’s unique biodiversity values. This year, planting occurred on agriculturally unproductive ridges and creek lines and included one biodiverse sandalwood plantation.

If any landholders in the Tarin Rock area are interested in benefiting from revegetation works on their property,

please contact Bree Phillips at the DEC office in Katanning on 9881 9253.

Our winter promotion on driving lights continues until the end of August and is going well. We sold out on a couple of lines but they

should be restocked by the time this edition goes to print.

The recent spate of frosty mornings must have tipped a few batteries over the edge as we did quite a few battery tests last week. Speaking of which, most places that sell batteries nowadays

generally have one of those hand held testers. These units check the battery voltage, place a small load on it and record how the battery

performs. They are a very useful tool to help diagnose battery faults, electrical current drains can also make it appear that the battery is

faulty. As always thorough testing is most likely to give the most accurate results. To maximise battery life, it is best to leave the

battery on trickle charge overnight about once a month, even on vehicles used regularly.

The spring school holidays will be upon us soon so spare a thought for camping requirements. We carry a large range of LED lighting for interior/exterior use and have access to a bigger range through our suppliers. The LED lights throw off more light than a standard globe

and draw less power therefore saving battery drain.

Get your dual battery system checked or even have one installed, its piece of mind in the great outdoors

The CBH Group exported a record 1,106,931 tonnes from its four grain export terminals in Western Australia in July. CBH General Manager Operations Colin Tutt said the July shipping record was an especially satisfying achievement given the complex transition currently underway to a more efficient grain rail freight system using a new operator and new rail fleet. “I thank the CBH Operations team, our new rail provider, Watco, and our road contractors who have worked so hard to achieve this,” Mr Tutt said. “Following the record 15 million tonne harvest, many of our people have been working very long hours since last October, and the demands will continue for some months yet as we clear the network for next harvest.” Mr Tutt said CBH was passionate about moving tonnes to port quickly, efficiently and safely to service the needs of Western Australian growers and the customers of their grain. “It is not uncommon earlier in the year to ship more than 1.1 million tonnes a month as capacity is boosted by stocks at port and more grain is accessible at country

storages closer to port,” he said. “However achieving this monthly volume later in the year is much more challenging as every tonne has to brought from further away. To do it in the middle of the rail transition is particularly pleasing. “This achievement also reflects the ability of our Grain Express logistics system to co-ordinate grain movements to maximise the efficiency and capacity of the WA supply chain to port.” The previous biggest July shipping volume was 1,076,433 set in 2004. CBH expects to have its full new rail fleet of 22 locomotives and 574 wagons in operation for the next harvest. To date, 10 locomotives have arrived from the United States and are either operational or being commissioned and more than 400 wagons are in use. “We expect to ship approximately 13.5 million tonnes by 30 October which will certainly be an all time annual shipping record for Western Australia and an achievement that growers and CBH can be proud of given the challenges of the past 12 months,” Mr Tutt said.

Extended Warranties may not be Warranted The collapse of an extended warranties provider in Australia is being used as an opportunity to highlight questions about the value of extended warranties. U-nited Warranties Pty Ltd has appointed liquidators – the majority of its extended warranty products were offered at the point of sale through major retail chains, including Big W and Myer and a number of independent retailers. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is taking the lead in relation to this matter, however Commissioner for Consumer Protection Anne Driscoll said her agency is liaising with ASIC and she wishes to clarify consumer rights. “The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) provides mandatory consumer guarantees for goods and services and that means that if there’s a problem consumers are entitled to specific remedies which can include replacement goods or a full refund,” she said. “The type of situations where a remedy must be provided include when a product is not of acceptable quality, not fit for the intended purpose or does not match the description given. These rights cannot be limited by timeframes specified by the manufacturer or retailer in warranty documents provided with the goods.” “It is not uncommon for retailers to offer extended warranties at the point of sale, particularly for electrical items; however in the majority of cases, Consumer Protection finds that the extra money

paid is not justified because the consumer has the same protections for free under the ACL.” Ms Driscoll warned that retailers who wrongly convince customers of the need to purchase extended warranties could be breaking the law. “It’s an offence for a business, or its sales representatives, to make a false or misleading representation concerning the need for any goods or services. The penalties are high; a maximum fine of $220,000 for an individual and $1.1 million for a company,” she said. “Trying to convince consumers that they should buy an extended warranty, when it only offers the same protections provided for free under consumer law, would fall into the category of a false and misleading representation.” Consumers who have purchased goods from a retailer and an extended warranty from U-nited and who have a problem with the product should return the goods to the place of purchase. The retailer has legal obligations and cannot avoid these responsibilities by claiming the consumer rights would only have been available through the extended warranty.

Since the 2006 floods Lake Grace has enjoyed the company of an Australian White Ibis. Also known as the Sacred Ibis, the bird quite dutifully shares its company throughout the town. A little bit shy, he (or she) is quite happy to share the garden space with you, providing you don’t show too much interest in what it is doing. It does seem to be quite happy foraging around on it’s own, unfortunately the other birds of Lake Grace aren’t all that welcoming of its presence.

After going online to check out a few facts about the Ibis I was pleasantly surprised that they can reach 28 years of age. Seeing as we may be sharing our space with the Ibis I thought it would be a good idea to know a little more about it.

Alternative Name/s Sacred Ibis

Identification The Australian White Ibis is identified by its almost entirely white body plumage and black head and neck. The head is featherless and its black bill is long and down-curved. During the breeding season the small patch of skin on the under-surface of the wing changes from dull pink to dark scarlet. Adult birds have a tuft of cream plumes on the base of the neck. Females differ from males by being slightly smaller, with shorter bills. Young birds are similar to adults, but have the neck covered with black feathers. In flight, flocks of Australian White Ibis form distinctive V-shaped flight patterns. Another common name for this bird is Sacred Ibis, but this more appropriately refers to a closely related African species.

Size range 69 cm to 76 cm in height and 1.5kg to 2.5kg in weight.

Distribution The Australian White Ibis is common and widespread in northern and eastern Australia, and both its range and abundance in western Australia is expanding, despite its absence from Western Australia prior to the 1950s. The species is absent from Tasmania.

Habitat The Australian White Ibis can be observed in all but the driest habitats. Preferred habitats include swamps, lagoons, floodplains and grasslands, but it has also become a successful inhabitant of urban parks and gardens.

Feeding and Diet The Australian White Ibis' range of food includes both terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates and human scraps. The most favoured foods are crayfish and mussels, which the bird obtains by digging with its long bill. Fish, frogs and insects are also favoured.

Communication Drawn-out croaks.

Mating and reproduction The male Australian White Ibis secures a pairing territory on a branch of a tall tree in order to attract a female. The courtship ceremony involves the male

putting on a noisy display, as well as showing aggression towards other males. When a female arrives, the male attracts her by bowing from his branch. He then offers the female a twig, forging a bond when she grasps it and they begin to preen one another. Once the pair bond is cemented, the birds fly off to build a nest at another location. Australian White Ibis nest in large colonies, often with the Straw-necked Ibis, T. spinicollis. Young are born naked and helpless. One or two broods may be reared in a year. They reach sexual maturity in three years. Breeding season is from August to November in the more southern areas of Australia.

Conservation Status Although Australian White Ibis are becoming more common in some areas, their abundance is decreasing in their natural range.

Economic/social impacts Some Australian White Ibis populations have learnt to exploit artificial foods in urban environments and are becoming pests.

Lake Grace Golf Club Notes In the last fortnight the 3 wood has lost some of his impact, he bowed his head toward the wizardry of the 6 iron and was quite prepared to handball the prestige of writing the golf notes. However, although the 6 iron was well aware of his gift with the pen, he was quite unaware of the pass underway so the task of writing the golf notes has fallen to the golfer who happened to be standing in the wrong spot! Enter the Vice Captain!!

Pingaring hosted their Open Day on Saturday 4th

August. Lake Grace have been sending a good representation to these events (beats doing the housework) so once again the PCAP trailer was hooked up to the bus and a very excited gaggle of golfers met at the Plaza carpark ready for their big day out. More than 10 went and they thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of the Pingaring Club, so much so they decided to bring home the bulk of the prizes (lucky they took the trailer). Winners of the nett were Derek Stanton and Mark Newton, winners of the gross were Marcus Owen and Craig Reeves.

President’s Day was held on the 5th August. This was

President Chad’s day to shine, however it wasn’t. Luckily, being the good sport that he is, winning wasn’t high on his list of priorities, he just wanted to get up there and hand out the trophies. Chad did very well with his purchases, only needing a little help from Shelley for the wrapping!

Winner of the day, in fine conditions, was Marcus Owen with a grand score of a +5. Runner-up on a three-way count-back with a very respectable score of +3 was Craig Reeves, from Steve Crook and Kevin Eggers. Scoring well for the ladies was Michelle Lay with a +2, just pipping Helen Hunt at the post who had +1.

Novelties on the day were NTP on No.4 (Westpac) which was won by Eggs, who also took off with NTP No.6 (CSBP); NTP No.15 (Hotel) was won by Mark Seaman while NTP No. 18 (LG CRC) was Helen Hunt. Longest putt on No.9 (Tyrepower) was Gary (Frisky) Frost and placement shot No.12 (Rosies) was Scott Strevett.

The evening was enjoyed by those who stayed behind for some very healthy hamburgers and fries.

Sunday 12th August was the day to play the first and

second round of championships. Following the fabulous summery conditions on Saturday the golfers knew they were facing the threat of potential rain but with Lake Grace’s track record weren’t taking it too seriously.

With an 8:30am start for the men, there were 16 golfers out to jockey for position in the A and B Grade. In the A Grade Gary Frost had a serious tussle with young gun Matthew Spurr, who was determined to give experience a run for its money. However Gary held on and won 2 up with 1 hole to go. Kevin Eggers was up against President Chad, however Chad didn’t have it coming together on the day and Kevin won 6 up with 5 holes to go. Defending champion Craig Reeves played against Justin Wright who was ably caddied for by Travers, however Justin was distracted by an important football game to watch that afternoon and Craig won 4 up with 3 holes to go. Ren O’Halloran was determined to put on a good show against Marcus Owen and won 3 up with 2 holes to go.

For the Men’s B Grade Murray Stanton put his many years of experience to good use and beat Reid Stubberfield 6 up with 4 to go. Nick Maalouf has been on a golfing high through the 2012 season and put his good form to use beating Scott Strevett 5 up with 4 to go. Derek Stanton and Mark Newton were enjoying themselves so much they ended up going to the 19

th

hole (not the one in the club house), with Mark Newton coming out with a win. Mark Seaman has been enjoying being back in the golfing fold and beat Alan Stubberfield 5 up with 4 to go.

Winning the first round meant that golfers had the extra pleasure of going out and facing the prospect of another 18 holes in the afternoon! By this stage rain was looking more than threatening and those who had been beaten in the morning were looking quite happy!

In the afternoon Frosty faced up to Eggs, while Reevo and Ren were set to do battle. Gary beat Kevin 5 up with 4 to go; while Ren refused to lay down and made Craig go to the 17

th hole! Even the wet weather gear

wasn’t enough to mask the conditions, a rain effected

Nick Maalouf conceded defeat to Murray Stanton. The two Marks were doing some seriously wrestling around the course with Mark Seaman coming out on top, 2 up with 1 to go.

The gallery were paying some serious support to their comrades who were doing it tough out in wind and rain. To show their respect they sat in their utes, following the action and reporting back to the club house with an update of the scores.

The women, with some good forward planning, elected to start play at 10am as they only had one round to play. Terri Parker was ecstatic after winning a hole against Helen Hunt, and was literally beside herself when they were all square after 9. Helen fought on and goes through to the final. Jeanette Bennett was beaten by Michelle Lay. Michelle and Helen will be playing for the Ladies Championship title over 36 holes on Sunday 26

th August.

For the men’s A Grade Championship the old fox (Frosty) will be playing the silver fox (Reevo). In the B Grade, the veteran (Murray) will be pitted against the young gun (Mark Seaman). In the Men’s C Grade new

golfer Peter Hudson will be getting the opportunity to show his skills against the new look Crooky! Supporters are more than welcome as there will be some fantastic golf played! The men’s championships will also be played on Sunday 26th August.

The Men’s Carnival will be being played this weekend at Nyabing. For those not going away there will be a stableford competition sponsored by the golf club this Sunday.

Lake Grace/Pingrup Netball Club Desperately seeking YOU

Can YOU help The Lake Grace Pingrup Netball Club is running out of time to find people to assist us with the running of the association next year.

Unfortunately we cannot do it ourselves.

The good news is we have found a willing secretary; the bad news is we still need to find three more people to take on association responsibilities. If we are unable to fulfil our association obligations we will be unable to continue submitting netball teams into the competition.

In October the Lake Grace Pingrup Netball Club will take on the Ongerup Association books for the following two years (2013/14). We need your assistance to fill positions on both the association and club committee. If these positions cannot be filled it is very likely that the clubs future will be in doubt.

All positions will be fully explained and handed over by the current committee. This committee have dedicated a lot of time ensuring the handover will be smooth and fully explained and have developed a very detailed handover manual for each position. In addition the current committee have fully revised the association constitution to ensure the following two years (13/14) will be as easy as possible

Association Chair: The Go To person for association netball teams. Host association meetings (there are four meetings held per year); delegate association responsibilities; liaise with association coaches, umpiring coordinator and Great Southern Netball as needed; ensure the smooth running of finals; liaise with Ongerup Football Association and Ongerup Women’s Hockey Association as required.

Association Secretary: This is a paid position of approx. $600 per year.

Assist the Chair as required; take minutes of each ONA meeting and forward to all club delegates; forward appropriate information emails from Netball WA, Great Southern Netball (GSNR) and all other information

concerning clubs; handle all incoming and outgoing correspondence; liaise with club delegates as required. This position requires approx. 10 hours per week

Association Treasurer: This is a paid position of approx. $600 per year. Maintain the banking side of the association; invoice clubs for registration fees, members champ fees and other incidentals; Ensure swift payment of outgoing invoices; maintain the association books; keep good records of all association and club registrations. This position requires some knowledge of banking and good computer skills.

Association Records Keeper: This position requires some computer knowledge. Maintain a record of all registered players; work closely with the treasurer to ensure all players are fully registered; receive emailed copies of all score cards for each game and forward round results to each club; maintain the association ladder; receive posted scorecards and association votes.

Also all club positions will need to be filled in 2013. This includes Club chair, Secretary, Treasurer and all committee positions. In addition we will be losing our very dedicated junior coordinator and A grade coach.

The Club AGM and Association AGM will be held in October. You don’t have to play netball or have been a member of the netball club, just have a keen interest to assist a community sporting club. If you can help in any way, or know someone that may be willing to take on a position, please contact Amanda (0488 216 601) or Jemma (0439 851 505)

Our Netball club needs your help!!!

Lake Grace Pingrup Football Club Lake Grace-Pingrup vs Gnowangerup played at Gnowangerup on 4th August 2012

LGPFC A RESERVES The day was overcast with a fresh breeze blowing diagonally across the ground from the South West.

The Bombers reserves numbers were a bit light on with just 20 players available. However the three European travellers were back which added a bit of potential firepower to the side and to test their fitness.

The first quarter started with Gnowangerup booting the first three goals in just ten minutes followed by LGP scoring the next two. The second being picked up and snapped through by Royce Taylor following a contested mark in front of goal. Very athletic effort!! Noel Bairstow then followed with another and all was looking well.

Quarter time scores were LGP 3-0 (18), Gnowangerup 4-4 (28).

Gnowangerup scored first when the second quarter commenced and kicked three during the quarter. The Bombers did not score a goal during the term and unfortunately Noel Bairstow limped from the ground with an injured Achilles tendon.

Half time scores were LGP 3-3 (21), Gnowangerup 7-5 (47).

Gnowangerup were first to score again during the third quarter. Royce managed another goal during the quarter and Greg Amores snapped a nice one from a left foot hook shot. Darren Clifford followed with another so the Bombers were fighting back but not enough to break the Gnowangerup lead.

Three quarter time scores were LGP 6-4 (40), Gnowangerup 10-6 (66).

Darren Clifford scored a major late in the last quarter.

Final scores were Gnowangerup 11-9 (75) defeating LGP 7-5 (47).

Gnowangerup were too good in the goal kicking department and once again the Bombers were lacking the young runners, however we should have them back for the first semi final. Better players for LGP were Darren Clifford, John Amores, Grant Marshall, Nick Smith, Greg Amores, Tom Gambuti. The result of this game will mean that LGP reserves will play in the first semi final at Borden on August 18th.

Award winners Reserves Best on Ground Darren Clifford, BOG Runner up Tom Gambuti and coaches award went to Royce Taylor.

LGPFC JUNIORS LGP won the juniors game. LGP 11-21 (87) Gnowangerup 2-0 (12)

LGPFC LEAGUE The Bombers fielded a good side for this clash with the number three side on the ladder. The second spot was safe for LGP so this would be the final game before going straight into the second semi final against Jerramungup. Umpires in control today were Herbie Hart and Bill Sleuth.

The first quarter commenced after Gnowangerup won the toss and kicked to the North end with the diagonal breeze. Matt Trevenen was the first to score from a strong kick from the forward flank about 35 metres out. Rohan Trevenen scored next for the Bombers with a 30 metre snap from a scrimmage at centre half forward. The first quarter was generally a tussle to see who was in charge but the Bombers went into quarter time with as slight lead.

Quarter time scores were LGP 2-2 (14), Gnowangerup 0-3 (3)

The Bombers back line were exceptional, blocking everything that came at them and clearing the footy into attack constantly.

The second quarter commenced with Alex Duckworth scoring a major from a spilled ball from Karl Fleay. Karl then scored running into an open goal for an easy goal. Gnowangerup scored a late goal late in the second quarter followed by a goal from each side in the last minute. The second term saw the Bombers take some control with their game plan of getting numbers at the ball at all times. Matt Trevenen suffered a wrist injury during the quarter and took no further part in the game.

The half time scoreboard read LGP 7-2 (44), Gnowangerup 3-5 (23).

Best for LGP at half time were Marcus Trevenen, Luke Bairstow, James Eaton, Matt Trevenen, Alex Duckworth, Justin Carruthers, Daniel Trevenen and Chris Trevenen.

The third quarter saw LGP add another three goals whilst Gnowangerup could not score a six pointer. The Bombers backline are starting to show consistency in rebounding everything that comes their way which is a good sign going into the finals.

Three quarter time scores LGP 10-7 (67), Gnowangerup 3-8 (26). James Eaton was the first to score for LGP from 40 metres after receiving a pass from Luke Bairstow. Great passage of play. Karl Fleay then goaled from a free kick in the forward pocket, running around the mark and using the wind to do the job. The rest of the last quarter was a bit of a lack lustre affair with Gnowangerup running out of legs and a couple of injuries, one being Jaan Shaddick who is one of their best. Final scores Lake Grace Pingrup 12-12 (84), Gnowangerup 4-8 (32).

Leading goal scorers for LGP were Karl Fleay 4, 2 each to Luke Bairstow & Mickey Trevenen. Amongst the best for the Bombers were Luke Bairstow, James Eaton, Chris Trevenen, Daniel Trevenen, Marcus Trevenen (outstanding), Alex Duckworth, Clint Trevenen, Ethan Wallace, Justin Carruthers and Jarred Desmond. Award winners for LGP: Best on Ground Luke Bairstow, BOG runner up Daniel Trevenen and Coaches Award Clint Trevenen. On the injury front, Matt Trevenen’s wrist was broken and will probably not play again this season. Special thanks to old Nugget for filling in for the A Reserve for a few games and hope your Achilles heals OK.

The three week break for the League side will need to be managed in order to keep the match fitness up. We didn’t need the bye next week though. The Bombers will play Jerramungup in the second Semi at Boxwood on August 25th. All supporters are welcome to come and watch the boys train on Thursday nights as we have a real chance of playing in the grand final and bringing home a flag. Your support will be appreciated.

The final ladder for the 2012 season does not show much in the way of success on the field. Lucky for us our Juniors have had an excellent season and are still battling on with a position in the 1

st Semi Final to be

played in Bruce Rock on Saturday 18th August.

Congratulations to our junior players who have this season played their 50

th game for Lake Grace. Fletcher

Taylor and Abbey Trawinski, it’s lovely to see these players progress in their hockey skills and show this commitment to the club.

Our last games against Corrigin were hard fought matches in all grades. Our kids determined to cement their finals position, did well to come out on top 3-2. Our B grade, making it hard for Corrigin who were also trying to cement their finals spot

finished with a 0-0 draw. Our A grade hoped to finish on a win and not be wooden spooners for the season. Unfortunately Corrigin just got the better of us in an excellent match up coming out on top 1-0.

Our wind up is going to be held in a couple of weeks and we will publish award winners after that.

Thanks to our players, supporters and sponsors for another season. Hope to see you all next year.

Sudoku The Sudoku grid of

rows and columns is divided into individual 3x3 boxes.

The aim of the game is to fill each row, column and 3x3 box with the numbers 1 to 9.

You can’t repeat numbers in a row, column or 3x3 box and you can’t change the numbers already in squares.
