Their thoughts are hidden, their walk is slow.�

A casual glance and a smile they will give.�

Other than that, you will have to forgive.�

The routine is regular, they have found their way round.�

Finding a friend is a pleasure, they have found.�

Their world is so different in so many ways.�

To show them a kindness will lighten their days.�Bert Spooner�

Pint sized bundle of energy and�glamour makes it two wins in a row�for Western Australia.�SURFERS�PARADISE. Waroona based Events &�Promotions Manager�Kellie Germain�,�28,�claimed the highly coveted�2014�Miss Hawaiian Tropic Australia/�New Zealand�title at the International�Final held at LOVE Nightlife,�Broadbeach on the Gold Coast on�Friday night�.�It was the second year in�a row that a WA model walked away�with the honours following Perth�model�Ashiie Munro-Smith’s�win in�2013. The Miss Hawaiian Tropic�Australia/New Zealand Final was the�culmination of an exhaustive 4 month�long model search held in premier�entertainment venues in both�countries which saw more than 900�hopeful young females enter.�Following her win at the preliminary�competition at The Clink Nightclub in�Fremantle, 5’4” blonde bombshell�Kellie joined 19 of Australia and New�Zealand’s top up and coming�swimwear models for a fun filled and�action packed week on the Gold�Coast. This included visits to major�attractions, media events and�rehearsals leading up to the�spectacular AUNZ final. When it was�time to take to the catwalk, the head�

turning models all had their sights�firmly set on the prestigious national�title and the massive prize package�which includes a trip to a prestigious�international pageant final later in the�year. The judging panel was led by�2013 National Winner�Ashiie Munro-�Smith,�who went on to compete at the�Swimsuit USA International Finals at�the Hard Rock Hotel Casino & Resort�in Puerto Vallarta last year against�more than 80 models from all over the�world and scoring herself a top ten�finish. After watching the finalists first�strutting their stuff in the Theme Wear�section and then in the all-important�Swimwear section, the judges’ had�reached a decision; Kellie had�displayed all the qualities they were�looking for. She embodied head-�turning beauty with elegance, poise,�confidence and cheeky personality. It�is a dream come true Kellie says; “I’m�still on cloud nine and I don’t want to�come down! Winning Miss Hawaiian�Tropic has been such a long-time�dream of mine” she said following her�crowning. Kellie admits to having a�range of emotions wash over her “I�haven’t stopped crying since I heard�my name being called out on stage. I�have tried for years to get to the�National and always getting so close�but ending up adding another runner-�up sash to my growing collection…”�she says. “I honestly thought the odds�were stacked against me due to my�age competing with girls who are 10�years my juniors and due to not being�tall enough for fashion catwalk”, but�luckily Miss Hawaiian Tropic doesn't�have a height requirement and I�actually think my age and experience�gave me the advantage I needed this�

time” Kellie said pondering her win.�One of the first to congratulate Kellie�backstage immediately after her win�was celebrity DJ Connor Cruise,�adopted son of Hollywood A-listers�Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as he�was on hand to provide entertainment�once the bikini girls had left the stage.�Kellie’s prize package includes a�return trip to a World Final where she�will be representing�Australia later this�year including accommodation, meals�and spending money.�

Prior to 1896, the�land now known as Hamel was�owned by the Albany Solicitor and�Politician L.V.De Hamel. The land�and property was sold to the�Government, to establish a State�Nursery. L.V. De Hamel was the only�member in Opposition in the first�Government under the new�Constitution, Lord Forrest being the�Premier. No record exists that, L.V.�De Hamel ever lived in Hamel.�Original pioneers who took up land in�the new Harvey Agriculture area in�1893, to establish the start of Hamel,�were Patrick Fitzpatrick (�Fitzpatrick�Street�) and his brother Timothy�(�Fitzpatrick Place)�.�Extracts from Drakesbook Days &�Waroona Years L.Snell,�Newnham Road, Lake Clifton�Claude Newnham owned a 320 acre�property, with a limestone homestead�with commanding views, down Lake�Clifton. Marshall Clifton (1787-1861)�arrived in WA to manage the�settlement scheme at Australind.�Marshall later became a member of�the Legislative Council. Explorers�Doctor Alexander Collie and Lt.�William Preston RN, first came across�what are now Lakes Clifton and�Preston in 1829. Lake Clifton was�developed in 1920 by the WA�Portland Cement Co until 1923. A�railhead had been established from�Waroona. Lake Clifton thrombolites�are believed to resemble the earliest�forms of life on Earth.�Clifton Court�and Preston Drive�are streets in the�location of Preston Beach.�Extracts fro : nationmaster.com/�encylopedia & Local Link Mandurah�Maps.�

WAY OF LIFE�In two weeks we will�

celebrate a�wonderful time on�the Christian�

Calendar. Many�say that Easter is a�time for holidays or�parties, and a time�

for Easter eggs and bunnies. But the�real meaning of Easter is centered on�Jesus Christ. It is the time when we�remember His death “Christ died for�our sins.” His burial, as the hymn�writer wrote “He carried my sins far�away;” and His resurrection, as the�Angel said, “Why seek the living�among the dead?” “He is not here,�but is risen.” Yes, He is alive and if�we believe this wonderful truth we�can say with the Apostle Paul, “I live,�and the life which I now live in the�flesh I live by the faith of the Son of�God who loved me and gave Himself�for me.” Paul also�writes, “Christ in�you the hope of�glory.” What a�glorious hope we�can have in the�Lord Jesus Christ.�Pastor Phill�Brewster�

W�elcome to 2014 with�the Waroona Sub�Centre. I’ve been a bit�slack this year and it�has taken me three�months to get back�into the swing of�

things. Waroona Sub Centre would�like to welcome three new Primary�Ambulance Care (PAC) Officers. Julie�Case, Tom Yeoman and Michael Rice�all completed their PAC course over�December 2013 and January 2014 at�a course held in Waroona run by our�Community Paramedic, Ken Hart and�local trainer Andy Templeman Twells.�This intrepid trio passed with flying�colours and lots of laughter. So�welcome to our dedicated band of�volunteers and wishing the three of�you a long and happy journey in the�world of St John Ambulance. The Sub�Centre currently has for sale an ex�Patient Transfer Vehicle. The vehicle�is a Mercedes 316 Sprinter van. If you�would like to inspect the vehicle and�enter an expression of interest, please�contact Carol at the office on�Tuesdays or Thursdays between�9:00am and 1:30pm on 9733 2122.�Please provide your email address so�that all the vehicle specifications can�be emailed to you before you come to�inspect.�**NEWSFLASH** St John Ambulance�is going electronic.

Despatch. I have made the decision�to resign as a Volunteer Ambulance�Officer with St John Ambulance. The�reasons are many and varied but�ultimately the time has come for me�to create a life away from being an�ambo and to dedicate myself to more�relaxing pursuits (that do not include�lights, sirens and handcuffs).�I will always value the time I have�spent helping people and I would like�to thank those that I have come in�contact with for the trust you have�given me in helping your friends and�loved ones. I am truly honoured to�have been given that trust and it will�never be forgotten.To the local�constabulary, you guys are awesome�(but don’t let that go to your head).�Thank you for the laughter (mostly�hysterical) but most of all thanks for�having my back at some what I can�only call interesting jobs. Stay safe�guys! Last but not least, my brothers�and sisters in arms. We have had�some interesting times but the thing I�will always remember is the�friendship. Stay safe, stay true and�stick together. My parting words of�wisdom..... Life’s short... Eat dessert�first!!!!�Judy Chalmers - Ex AAC Officer�

Ambulance Officers have to fill out�patient care record forms by hand�which can be quite a mission whilst�going on a Priority 1 (especially with�some of the drivers we have. Not me�of course!). Over the last two years St�John Ambulance has been trialling�electronic patient care records�(ePCR) with Paramedics being the�guinea pigs (why not? They get paid�for it). ePCRs will now be rolled out on�iPads to the Waroona Sub Centre in�May/June so if you see our ambos�walking around with iPads, No they�aren’t on Facebook or playing Candy�Crush! This will make our job so much�easier and quicker with less time�spent away from our patients.�**THANK YOU** - For our patient care�records to go electronic the sub centre�has had to purchase six new iPads�and covers. We would like to sincerely�thank CARNA EARTHMOVING,�QUAMBIE PARK and GLOBAL�IMPACT for helping us to purchase�these vital pieces of equipment for our�ambos.�**EASTER** - As Easter approaches�us please be mindful on the roads.�Easter is our busiest part of the year.�Please pay attention, don’t speed�and don’t drink drive. Let our ambos�and other emergency service workers�have a peaceful time over the Easter�period.�**JUDE’S NEWS** - Sadly this will be�my last article for the Drakesbrook�

Consequently,�members weren’t falling over�themselves to read more of Woods.�Deborah Rodriquez is the author we�are now reading.

On Sunday the 9 March 2014, the�Quambie Park Waroona Inc. Board of�Governance formally dedicated the�Pam Corker House Board Room as�the “Margaret McKay Board Room”.In�October 2013 Margaret resigned her�position as a Board Director from the�Quambie Park Board of Governance�after 25 years of dedicated service.�The Board and Members did not want�to let Margaret’s long standing�contribution to go unrecognised, so�they decided to dedicate the Pam�Corker House Board Room in�Margaret’s honour as a fitting�acknowledgement.During Margaret’s�time on the Board, she has been a�key driver and decision maker in the�ongoing growth and expansion of our�successful organisation and its�continued community connections�and caring reputation. Margaret was�very humble in her acceptance of the�dedication and states that she will�always “hold Quambie Park very dear�to her heart” and continue to support�the organisation in a less formal�manner. A small plaque has been�placed outside the Board Room as a�reminder and acknowledgment�

Quambie Park would like to thank all�the volunteers and community�members that donated goods,�supplies and their time at the Pam�Corker Fete held on the 22 March�2014. Despite a strong easterly wind,�it was wonderful to see the local�community come out to support our�annual Fete. Everyone enjoyed the�day and seemed to find goodies and�treasures to purchase. As a not for�profit community lead organisation we�depend on the continued good will�and support of the local community�and again we were not disappointed�by the community’s ongoing�generosity. At this year’s Fete , the�local St Johns Ambulance crew were�able to join in our celebrations, and�provided an ideal opportunity for Fete�goers to see what the ambulance�services has to offer and provides the�community , we thank them for their�time at the Fete and their ongoing�support throughout the year. The�Fete also received a visit from�Waroona’s own Kellie Germain�crowned “2014 Miss Hawaiian Tropic�Australia/New�Zealand” pictured with�the St Johns Ambulance�Volunteers.The funds raised from this�year’s Fete will assist Quambie Park�to ensure that residents and clients�have access to quality equipment and�services provided by competent and�trained staff. The Fete raised an�excellent $5,500�

The response to our first ever small�landholder column has been�overwhelming! It has been wonderful�to hear about so many small property�owners wanting to learn more about�managing their land and creating a�more live able environment.�This month, as we wait for the rains to�come, one of the most important�things to monitor is your water�supplies. As water levels start to�decrease, algae can begin to build up�in your dams and tanks. The best�options to control or prevent algae�build-up are to stop stock access to�your household water supply, cover�your tanks, shade your dam (although�be careful which tree species you�plant), sink bales of hay in your dam�to provide a carbon source for other�bacteria to strip the nitrogen and�phosphorus out of the water and build�a sediment trap in front of your dam to�prevent nutrients from entering on�

great time to service your farm�equipment and prevent costly�breakdowns during peak work�periods. Check all moving parts for�seizing, check fluid levels, hoses,�tyres etc. Dealing with these issues�before they become problems will�keep you one step ahead and your�property in great shape! You can find�more information on our events,�seasonal calendar and a range of�Noteworthys on the Small Landholder�Information Service website�agric.wa.gov.au/small_landholder�.�You can also sign up to our free e-�newsletter by registering your interest�at�small_landholder@agric.wa.gov.au�or by phoning 9733 7777.�

faeces and debris. As well as�keeping your dams clear, you should�also make sure your paddocks are�free from any rubbish. Animals will�sometimes consume rubbish either by�accident or actively seek it out due to�nutrient deficiency. If you have�rubbish in your paddocks, fence it off�or remove it. If any of your animals�are actively seeking it out, contact�your vet for advice. The extended dry�summer is making summer weed�control extremely difficult with almost�no soil moisture, leaving summer�weeds under significant moisture�stress.�Control of dock plants is best�undertaken in autumn as rosettes�appear, before desirable pasture�species germinate.

CHOOKS, CHOOKS & MORE CHOOKS�Last Saturday Waroona Poultry Club�conducted a silent auction and bid on�three pens. Was lucky enough to�

successfully bid for a D’Uccle/ Wyndotte Cross and have�nicknamed her Penny. She has already started egg�production whilst being chased by other chooks and�settling into her new home. The auction was well attended�and the last 15 minutes was frantic to say the least.No�longer selling eggs at the Subiaco Growers Market and�took some show winning eggs to my centurion old mate�“Bert Spooner” who celebrated his 100�th� Birthday on�Wednesday 26�th� March. Pleased to report egg production�along with the size of the eggs has increased with the�passing of moulting season and cooler weather.�Neighbours have reported seeing three foxes in paddocks�over the past month and even when I return home late from�the Football Club diligently conduct a night security check�in an endeavour to protect the safety of my pets.�Recreation Road users may think I am a wild bird breeder�with Ibis and Pink Galahs haunting the chookyard chasing�easy poultry feed supplies. Wish they would migrate to the�nearby Drakesbrook Weir with lots of water and a beautiful�environment. I attended my second funeral service there�recently and Waroona is lucky to have such a facility to say�goodbye. Sincere sympathy to Joan, Larry, Jeff, Paula and�families on the passing of Bert. Now that local football�season is about to commence my wife Maryann will�continue to roundup up the chooks at night time as they still�enjoy two to three hours per day free range as part of their�daily activity. All that is left now is for my friend Robert to�tackle building the Chookshed ready for winter and greater�protection for the chooks. -�Ken�

Most of you will already know me as the�local vet nurse with a passion in poultry�breeding and showing, I started breeding�poultry when I was just 10yrs old and my daughter at age�6yrs is quickly following in my footsteps. She proudly takes�her best Hens to the local country shows. The topic this�month is�Moulting:� Feathers are moulted and replaced�annually, normally after the breeding season, it requires a lot�of energy to grow and replace feathers, so often hens in�moult will appear pale and often stop laying. The process�takes between 3-6 weeks, each new feather pushes the old�one out of the follicle, this may happen over the entire body�all at once which leaves the hen looking like a hedgehog and�very uncomfortable. It is a well-known fact that a good layer�will moult quickly and recover very quickly compared to a�poor or old layer that will moult slowly over a long time a few�feathers at a time. Feathers are made of protein. The feather�replenishment takes a lot out of the bird nutritionally, so�although they may slow or stop laying it is not the time to�decide to buy cheap feed. To help your birds get through this�nutritionally draining time many breeders will have their�special additives they give, basically your hen needs a good�balanced ration with a little extra protein over this month,�common extra additives breeders give are a handful of�sunflower seeds each day or a handful of quality dry cat food�every second day (Do not give raw meat, dog biscuits have�to much cereal in them and much of there protein is derived�from grains to be of any benefit to your chook unless you are�feeding a true premium dog food) or Cooked scrambled/�mashed eggs or Sprouting grains especially alfalfa and�sesame seeds (see my website on how to sprout gains for�your birds)or mealworms or earthworms Moulting food sold�at pet shops for caged song bids (but is expensive ).�- Kellie�

Spoiling our fun and games�Usually this column covers pests that�affect our farms, gardens and natural�habitats. But this month it is the turn�of an insect and a weed which both�have the capacity to ruin the�recreational activities that West�Australians hold dear.�Not welcome at home�Making a list of typical barbecue�goodies is like preparing a gourmet�menu for the European wasp�(�Vespula germanica�). Soft drinks and�beer, meat and meat products such�as sausages and also cakes or other�sweet treats are all favourite fare for�this aggressive stinger. Given that�many barbecues are social gatherings�European wasps in the backyard�would be most unwelcome. The�chance of someone drinking from a�can and getting stung on or in the�mouth is very real, and for people with�allergic reactions the result could be�life-threatening.�Keep them at bay�Fortunately European wasps are not�established in Western Australia�although many individual queens�arrive in the state annually, usually�after crawling into road freight that�originates in eastern Australia.�Officers from the Department of�Agriculture and Food (DAFWA)�destroy many nests every year. At the�time of writing, this summer DAFWA�has destroyed 20 nests but that�number will certainly rise in the near�future. Often DAFWA hears about�them thanks to people who have�

water, causing all aquatic life to die. It�is illegal to sell salvinia and it is also�illegal to own it. But realistically it has�to be acknowledged that there must�be many gardens in Western Australia�which have this weed choking their�ponds. The crucial thing is to stop�salvinia escaping from the backyards�that still harbour it. Anyone owning�salvinia should never dispose of�unwanted clumps by dumping them in�public lakes, rivers or other natural or�manmade water courses.�Occasionally salvinia may be�available at events where people sell�home-grown plants, such as fetes,�swap-meets, weekend markets and�the like. Salvinia also turns up on�internet trading sites. Please report�any such instances to PaDIS.�Currently the two large salvinia�infestations in the Perth metropolitan�area are in Myaree and High�Wycombe. Local councils are working�on eradicating the weed.�If you have a query or want to report�something unfamiliar, ring the Pest�and Disease Information Service�(PaDIS) on Freecall 1800 084 881 or�email�info@agric.wa.gov.au�

recognised the insects as European�wasps and reported them to the Pest�and Disease Information Service�(PaDIS). Members of the public can�take part in DAFWA’s ‘Adopt-a-trap’�program. Ring PaDIS on Freecall�1800 084 881 or email�info@agric.wa.gov.au� to request a�surveillance trap. Be suspicious of�any wasps that are attracted to�barbecues or pet food bowls, and�learn how to identify this species.�Similarities and differences�Superficially European wasps�resemble the now established paper�wasps in that both have bodies with�black and yellow stripes. Paper wasps�have orange brown antennae�whereas those of European wasp are�black, but of course the antennae can�only be observed at close range.�However, the easiest way to tell the�species apart can be done at a safe�distance. Take note of the flight�patterns. Paper wasps fly and hover�quite weakly with their legs dangling,�but European wasps fly swiftly with�darting movements and they tuck�their legs up beneath them rather like�a bee.�Grounded by a water weed�The floating weed salvinia (�Salvinia�molesta�) can grow so thickly on�waterways that leisure activities such�as boating, swimming and fishing�become impossible. In any case�anglers would find nothing worth�fishing for, even if they could access�the water, because salvinia prevents�sunlight and oxygen from entering the�

Domestic Stamps Prices…now on the up…Officially!�Stamps for a standard domestic (within Australia) letter rise from 60c to 70c as from March 31�st�, 2014.�For those of you who still have a stock of 60c stamps we will have 10c stamps available to go with�them. A large letter increases from $1.20 to $1.40 etc. We appreciate your patience with the�changeover.�Australia Post Concession Account(MyPost)�There is some relief from this stamp price increase & others! If you hold a valid & current federal�government concession card you will be eligible to apply to purchase concession stamps at a reduced�price. As with all government processes there is a bit of procedure to adhere to first…and yes it does�involve a form! However once you have applied for a ‘Mypost’ account you will receive a free booklet�of 5 concession stamps, the ability to purchase up to 50 concession stamps per year, concession rates�on Mail on Hold and Mail Redirection services. There are information brochures available at the post�office, and application forms. Pick one up from here to check it out or see the Australia post website to�see if your eligible.�Banking Deposits for Commonwealth Customers?�Just a reminder , if you are wanting to make a deposit into a commonwealth account that is not your�own, we require you to use the account card, or passbook to make the entry. As an agency we are�unable to deposit funds from you into someone else’s account using paper deposit slips. That can still�be done however at a Commonwealth bank, the closest being at Harvey.�Postage on Postards increased�With recent postal prices changes earlier this year, we wanted to highlight that cheaper postage for�postcards is no longer the case. Postage is now the same as a standard letter.�L�et us help you…�With the cost of postage increasing, customers should know that post office staff are happy to help you�find the cheapest method of posting. Just ask at the counter for some help, explain to us what our�trying to do…and we’ll do our best to get the best postage price for you!�Cheers from the Team at the Post Office�

Yellow “I need space” leashes are now available�from us. For more information on the Yellow�

Dog project come in for some FREE�information or visit�

http://www.yellowdog-australia.k9events.com/�

The Yellow Dog Project :–�Don’t say hello to a dog wearing�

Yellow!�The Yellow Dog Project is a�worldwide campaign to make people�aware that not all dogs like to meet�and greet. This could be because the�dog:�Is in training�Is nervous or shy with other�

people or dogs�Is deaf�May be from a rescue group and�

is being rehabilitated�May be injured�Is recovering from surgery�Is old and tired�Has just been adopted�Gets too excited or grumpy�

When a dog is wearing yellow it�identifies that dog as needing space.�Yellow dogs are dogs that need a bit�more room than the average dog.�Why is this a good idea?�We all like to have our personal space�respected and so should our dogs.�We wouldn’t like random people�rushing up to say hi or hugging us nor�do our dogs.�

If you see a dog with something�yellow on their leash, this is a dog that�needs some space. Please do not�approach this dog with your dog.�Please maintain distance and give�this dog and their owner time to move�out of your way. I assure you those�people who own these kinds of dogs�appreciate your help and respect.�Please note: This is NOT suitable�for dogs with a bite history.� �If your dog has behaviour or�aggression problems we recommend�that you should contact a qualified�ethical force free Dog �Trainer� or your�Veterinarian for assessment and if�appropriate referral to a Veterinary�Behaviourist.�For more information please visit the�yellow dog project pages in Australia�at�http://www.yellowdog-�australia.k9events.com/� or�https://�www.facebook.com/�YellowdogAustralia�. Some of this�information has been sourced directly�from the yellow dog websites; please�visit them for more information.�Remember:�Don’t say hello to a dog wearing�Yellow!�Frosina Duckin RVN�

It also means that your dog is less�likely to have a bad experience with�another dog if you know they ‘don’t�want to play.”�If we can make the community aware�that these dogs just need some space�we can all get along better. Apart from�not saying hello to a dog in yellow we�should also ensure we fully comply�with local leash laws. Unless it is a�designated dog off lead area keep�your dog on lead! It is incredibly�stressful for a dog on lead to be�rushed at by a loose dog.�What do I have to do?�If you think your dog needs some�space put something yellow on your�dog when you both go out. There are�leads and collars you can buy that are�specifically branded saying “I need�space”. There are also doggy�bandannas and vests to make it really�obvious from afar that this is a dog�that needs space. You can also tie a�yellow ribbon to your dog’s lead�however it may not be very obvious�from far away. We don’t recommend�using yellow dog poo/waste bags as�many people tie them to their lead�without having a “yellow dog”.�

We hope you�are enjoying�reading the�snippets of the�

history of our district. This month’s�history in our district focuses on the�Parker Family and the Parker Fruit�Packing Shed. The Parker family farm�was originally the site of the Number�11 Mill (or Eleven Mile Mill) operating�along the Drakes Brook in the hills of�Waroona. The mill had a number of�houses, including a boarding house�and a school at one stage. The mill�suffered its fate in a fire in 1908 and in�1912 the site was purchased by�brothers Fred and Tom Parker, with�one of the remaining houses becoming�the Parker homestead.�

The Parker family grew grain,�vegetables and fruit and the produce�was marketed in Waroona, Nanga�Brook and sent via train to the�metropolitan area. Fred Parker’s�children, Charles and Elizabeth had a�5 mile (8km) walk each way from their�farm to the Waratah School each day,�later transferring to The Upper Murray�School and then the Sliprails School.�Many of you may not realise it, but the�building opposite the Waroona�Bowling Club on Parnell Street started�life as the fruit packing shed at the�Parker Farm. It was purchased in�1952 by the members of the Masonic�Lodge for use as their meeting venue,�having previously used the Memorial�Hall. The packing shed was�transported down from the hills on a�jinker, members having to fell trees�along the track to allow its passage.�The land it resides on today was�donated by the NcNeill brothers and�the building and extensions were�consecrated in December 1952 and�dedicated by the then Grand Master,�James Sykes Battye. By 1966 the�

Waroona Historical Society News�Waroona Dam construction had�consumed the Parker farm.�On Sunday 23 March, our Vice�President Glenece Walmsley was�interviewed by 6PR presenter Steve�Gordon on the segment“The Way We�Were”. Glenece spoke to Steve about�the history of Waroona, some of the�earlier businesses and recreational�activities and the excellent facilities�and employment opportunities our�town has to offer today. Well done�Glenece.�Don’t forget to like our Facebook Page�www.facebook.com/�WaroonaHistoricalSociety�We also have a website�

with 324 league games and he will be�a playing coach similar to Rocky�Caruso last year.�Coach Hysen has appointed Utility�Player Kurt Brown as Captain and�former Defender Lindsay Wilson as�Vice Captain after returning from a�shoulder injury from last season. Both�were elevated to the Leadership�Team after training the house down�pre season. Lindsay is likely to be�placed in the middle of the ground to�give further grunt to Rocky Caruso,�Grant Coxon and Zac Indich together�with Jackson Hiscock and Matt�Mortimer when they are available�from their North West employment.�Daniel Johnson is the local choice for�the difficult Centre Half Forward�position.�Veteran Troy Purser and Ben Howell�lead the defence and Aayden Crooks�will lead the ruck supported by Dean�Shore who has returned after a�season at Harvey Brunswick-�Leschenault. The reserves are primed�to make their presence felt in the�finals after a disappointing exit from�the finals race after being positioned�in the top two all season before the�last qualifying game.�Playing League Coach Dean Taylor is�in his second term together with his�invaluable assistant John Mason.�Taylor has played in seven winning�grand finals and knows the hard work�it takes to win an elusive premiership.�The League Squad were presented�with their guernsey’s at the�presentation night on Thursday by life�members Peter Ward and Scott�Faulkner. Talented and skilful player�Ben Wright has been named Captain�for the second year and supported by�the Leadership Team of Mat Thomas,�Steele Court and Adam Clancy.�Loud cheers were received when�Alfred Angi, and Harry Ellis were�presented with their League�Guernseys to recognise their efforts�

from pre season. Players returning�from serious injury were Tommy�Carroll and Justin Giumelli and they�will add further zip around the ground.�Quentin Bolton a premiership player�in 2012 returns from Narrogin Hawks�along with his nephew Isiah Jetta-�Bolton who is likely to line up in a�back pocket. Key Defender Aaiden�Fotheringham (Archie) has been�cleared from Kulin in the Eastern�Districts Football League and former�premiership wingman Ben Mathews-�Herald has returned from a year in�Whitfords in the WA Amateur Football�League.�Two other key utility players who have�trimmed down in the offseason are�Matt Atcheson and Aaron Payrits and�they are looking like a million dollars�and could be classified as new�recruits. Last years Fairest and Best,�Courtney Lakay and runnerup Rhett�Mason will again be crucial with their�ball skills and bring others into the�game. Coaches Taylor and Mason�know how important it is to win early�games to earn a double chance in the�finals for players to remain fresh.�Centrals from Mundijong have been�on a recruiting drive after an early exit�in season 2013 in the finals race but�Waroona continue to be the�benchmark.�Club officials in the off season�continue to spend many hours of�voluntary service and a new bar�facility has been built and enlarged by�talented members. The natural�wooden timber top of Jarrah and�Black butt courtesy of Life Member�Steve brown is simply outstanding.�President Deb Clancy thanked�everyone for their input into the off�season at the Jumper Presentation on�Thursday 27�th� March and Waroona�Football Club operations is bearing�fruit.�New Members ,supporters and loyal�local sponsors are welcome to attend�the first home game on Saturday 5�th�

April against arch rivals Rockingham�Rams. Timetables are;�Colts 2.00 pm Reserves 4.00pm �League 6.00pm.�

Waroona Football�Club is set for�another good season�in 2014 if the last�training session is�any indication before�the Alcoa Peel�Football League�commences this�weekend at McLarty�

Oval ,Pinjarra in a Grand Final�Replay. A record number of 27 Colts�Players participated enthusiastically in�training and overall the group tallied�sixty.�Colts Mentor and Senior Coach Glen�Wilson at the Guernsey Presentation�stated the enthusiasm of the colts has�given a real buzz around the the club�and they are the future of the club.�Together with Assistant Coach Rhys�Newman they have named Daniel�Young as Captain and Robert Bury�and Josh Commisso are the vice�Captains. Mark Spence from�Mandurah Centrals has joined the�Colts coaching team as Assistant�Coach along with his son Mark likely�to be positioned as a key forward. The�depth of the team is excellent and the�twenty two spots will be keenly�contested.�The Reserves Coach appointed is�Jasan Hysen the clubs record holder�

Well the cricket season has come to�an end and the Waroona Warriors B�Grade is in the grand final for the�second year in a row. With a chance�to make it two in a row, Captain Nic�Rep has moulded this team perfectly�and on the back of his personal�efforts, is a huge chance for victory.�Waroona Warriors E Grade was�unable to push for finals but�nevertheless still had a reasonable�season. With a blend of young and�old players, the E grade had a crack�in every game, but struggled in the�batting. The team was well led by�

president Daniel Dodds. The�presentation night was held after the�last home and away game and�everyone enjoyed the vast selection�of food supplied by the players and�numerous awards were handed out.�B Grade:�Batting Av: Nic Rep�Batting Agg: Nic Rep�Bowling Av: Adam Clancey�Bowling Agg: Adam Clancey�Cricketer of the year: Nic Rep�E Grade:�Batting Av: Daniel Dodds�Batting Agg: Daniel Dodds �Bowling Av: Mark Butler�Bowling Agg: Mark Butler�Cricketer of the year: Daniel Dodds�Club Person: Bronwyn Dodds�Kyle Jones Award: Jeff Eastcott�Junior Cricketer: Jarrod Dodds�Congratulations to Nic Rep and�Daniel Dodds who both took out the�cricketer of the year and batting�awards in their grades for the whole of�the Peel Cricket Association.

Waroona Bowling Club News�Firstly my apologies�to Bob Clark for�missing out the�results of the Men’s�Singles�Championship in the�

last edition. Last year Bob surprised�everyone by going down to the wire in�the final against Dom Ferraro. He lead�by a huge margin, but allowed nerves�to get to him and could not close out�the game. This year he must have�learnt from his mistake and so it was�no surprise to see him once again in�the final. He was playing against our�President, Mark Hiller, who lead from�the start and built up a sizeable lead.�Bob, however, stayed calm and slowly�closed the gap and overtook Mark’s�score. Once the pressure was on, it�was Mark’s turn to be nervous and his�normally sound game deteriorated.�Bob was the eventual winner in a�game that was as good as it gets.�Well played, Bob!�

AGM�Wed. May 21st�

7 pm�

The Murray League Championships�are now underway for both the Men�and the Ladies. We are represented�in all areas and hopefully will have�some results for you in the next issue.�The Men recently had an Open�Triples competition and have an Open�Fours on Friday April 4�th�.Our annual�Anzac Day bowls event is coming up�soon, so make sure you nominate for�either the Club or the RSL.Two dates�to put in your diaries are the Club�Closing Day on Saturday, 10�th� May�starting at1.30pm. This will be�followed by the Presentation of�Trophies and a Sponsors Dinner.�Details of the cost are not available to�me at present, so keep checking the�Club notice board for details. The�other date top remember is for the�AGM on Wednesday May 21�st�,�starting at 7pm. Nomination sheets�will be on the notice boards soon, so if�you are interested in being more�involved with your Club, check it out.�

Several Men and Ladies went away to�the Country Week Championships in�Perth recently. I believe there were�some good results and may be�someone can write about them for the�next issue. One guy, however, just�found the whole experience too much.�

Pennant Results.�The Ladies Pennant side had an�extremely good year this year. Having�been promoted into 2�nd� Division, they�were expecting to have some very�hard games. However, they exceeded�all expectations and finished in�second position after the final round.�This year the Ladies had a finals�playoff for the Pennant, but�unfortunately they lost both their�games, but well done Ladies. The�Men had a topsy turvey season for�their Saturday games, but finished up�in 4�th� place after the final round. In the�playoffs they won their first two�

games, but were beaten once again�by Yunderup in the Grand Final.�Tuesday pennants was a different�story, losing only 3 games for the�whole competition. Two of those�losses were to Port Bouvard, but they�still managed to stay in the top�position ahead of Port Bouvard. This�means they will be promoted to third�Division next season. In the play offs�for the Pennant, they were able to�hold out to Port Bouvard in the major�semi and then come from behind to�defeat Meadow Springs in the Grand�Final. Well done guys!!!!!�
