Mental Health Services boosted across the WheatbeltWheatbelt GP Network

“THERE is no health without mental health” says Janet Devlin, psychologist and new team leader of Social and Emotional Wellbeing Services (SEWS) of the Wheatbelt GP Network (WGPN). She says she “wouldn’t have missed it for the world” – the nearly 30 years she has spent in mental health in metropolitan, rural and remote communities. Her practice in the outback gave her uniquely Australian experiences, travelling long distances to visit remote desert communities, sleeping in swags, eating bush tucker, confronting her fear of spiders and responding to crises such as bushfires and floods. Janet has worked as a clinician and researcher with regional communities throughout Australia to improve access to mental health services. She has also taught students from medicine, psychology, social work, nursing and other disciplines about the special needs of people in rural and remote communities. Janet has vast experience working with trauma survivors, including managing sexual assault and family violence services. Most recently she spent three years working with asylum seekers in various detention centres which she describes as being “challenging, but a privilege”. With a background working with people of all ages and many cultures, in health, community services, family violence and forensic settings, Janet brings considerable skills and experience in mental health to the Wheatbelt as the new leader of the WGPN program SEWS. She said, “I am delighted to join the network and to lead the SEWS team in working with

the local community, delivering consumer-focussed evidence-based services. “Each member of the team is highly experienced and has a wealth of knowledge about mental health and the particular issues rural communities face. “We are committed to providing timely, accessible and culturally safe services across the region and in building partnerships with other organisations to support mental health care for people in the Wheatbelt”. In this regard Janet said the network is currently collaborating with the WA Country Health Service on a pilot scheme that makes use of telehealth and other technologies to best meet the mental health needs of the region. Talk to your GP about accessing the SEWS team via a GP Mental Health Plan or call the team at the Wheatbelt GP Network on 9621 4444. Janet will be doing a regular weekly session at Toodyay Wheatbelt General Practice.

Let common sense rule the roost againWarriors Wellbeing

IS POLITICAL correctness a strain on our wellbeing? Political correctness is a doctrine which proposes that “it is entirely possible to pick up a bit of shit by the clean end”. In my opinion, political correctness is a major inhibiting factor when interpreting and applying bureaucracy and common sense. Common sense is often missing in lots of decision making in daily life and can ultimately affect our wellbeing. Bureaucracy on its own does have its place however, at times, it can limit how we do things because of the many layers of rigid rules that may complicate getting the job done on the ground.

This occurs in everyday life whether completing tedious processes, filling out pages of paperwork or, dealing with a system that appears to be more focused on processes rather than helping achieve outcomes. When a disaster strikes (catastrophic fires late 2015 and early 2016) and other personal health and safety issues arise in our lives, layers of bureaucracy are not always helpful and they can exacerbate an already tense environment. We have spoken to many blokes who feel both frustrated and restricted in their reactions to these disasters because of the many layers of procedures that have to be adhered to. Common sense taking a back seat. The point about the effects of this political

correctness doctrine, is that it enshrines both bureaucracy and common sense and quite often masks/dilutes what should be done and said and can also inhibit robust discussions. Blokes, by our own nature are hard wired to be action orientated, ie we want to solve problems, and we want to do stuff now. Once this is stifled by political correctness, a few things can start to happen: normal stress can become distress; short cuts can be taken (with increased risk); we inhibit our natural problem-solving process and, blokes shut down and stop seeking help – we go into our cave and don’t come out. It creates an ‘us versus them’ mentality. So where have we gone wrong and how can we make changes? Don’t allow political correctness to mask what should be done and said. Sometimes we have to be critical and blunt about our processes to keep them relevant and up to date. Bureaucracy should facilitate what we do, not dictate how we do it. It should not create barriers and thus frustrate people who are trying to deal with a challenging situation at the coal face. The common-sense rule should be applied to everything we do. I repeat, apply it to everything we do. People/communities have the innate ability to band together and deal with stressful situations. This should be fostered thus empowering individuals and communities rather than disempowering through micro-management and removing them from vital decisions regarding their own lives and local community. ‘Language’ is always important. Applying appropriate language that can be easily understood needs to be used. A robust discussion is vital to air all points of view and to prevent the same mistakes being made again. Remember, we are responsible for our own wellbeing and hopefully these suggestions encourage communities to claim back some responsibility and ownership. This would bring about positive change not only in blokes’ lives but the whole of the community.

Shed Honcho takes on multi-taskingToodyay Men’s ShedInside the Shed

PHEW, what a start to the year. Hibernation is a fact of life for bears but it has become the watchword for the Toodyay Shedders as well. First we were assaulted with drowning rains. Whoo hoo. We needed them but then drowned in the waters. What can we expect from Toodyay weather next? Sad to say nothing much has been happening around the shed with the onset of this hot weather. The lads have settled down to just having a visit and a chat. Mr M did manage to make up a display cabinet for Peter Robbie but our Irish fish killer, the Guru of Grind, has been severely contained by all these Total Fire Bans. Ahhhhhh, so quiet and peaceful. There could be some changes to our committee in the near future with several of the fellas dropping out due to health, work commitments or other reasons so other members will need to come forward to make

up numbers and contribute to the welfare of our shed and membership group. With the advent of our lease agreement and the place to build a shed, our Chairman, the Honcho, has been locked to his computer trying desperately to apply for grants to build it. The jargon and requirements of these documents would try the patience of Job. We of the lower world salute you, Honcho, as these tasks are getting bigger than Ben Hur. I believe the desperate little people who put these application documents together should be made to fill them out as it would soon have them writing something simpler. We are still getting over last year’s robbery at the shed and insurance claims are a slow

process it seems. However some very generous-minded folk from Toodyay have turned up with donations of tools to ease our suffering,and for this we are very grateful. Thank you all. On top of this, Bunnings Midland heard of our plight, rang around their suppliers and between Ryobi Western Australia and Bunnings, further assistance has been supplied to the Shed. What can you say to generous people and companies like this except many, many thanks. Mr M has been undergoing some much needed repairs so he has been travelling to Perth to meet with the medical fraternity quite often. We are all so very glad for him that this is

now over and the results are positive. We really need his talents at the shed as he is the mainstay of our woodworking department. We are looking forward to attending the Toodyay Markets again this year, so please look for our gazebo in March and the odd month after that. We do appreciate the folk who support us and hopefully we will have made things that you might find useful. Well, that seems like your lot for this month.However, but should you feel like a chat or a cuppa give me a call, Fred on 9574 5795, and I will arrange for you to pop into the shed and chew the rag with the blokes.

MORE THAN half of Wheatbelt residents are not doing enough physical activity. The State Government today launched a $900,000 project to encourage people in the Wheatbelt to be more active. In Northam, Sport and Recreation Minister

Mia Davies announced the ActiveSmart program would be rolled out across 12 local government areas – Beverley, Dowerin, Goomalling, Koorda, Merredin, Moora, Narrogin (town and shire), Northam, Toodyay, Wyalkatchem and York. The 12-month program, which includes personalised phone coaching, will be offered to about 13,200 households in the Wheatbelt and will work intensely with up to 5000 participants. “Statistics tell us this region now has the highest rate of overweight and obese people in the State, and is ranked 16th out of 92 regions in Australia for obesity and physical inactivity,” the Minister said. “ActiveSmart provides a toolkit for participants, including information on how to increase their physical activity levels and ongoing support and motivation to encourage people to join local sporting groups. “Part of our goal is to help people increase their daily physical activity by at least 15 minutes a day.”

The Department of Health’s Health and Wellbeing Surveillance System (2013) indicates the Wheatbelt region has the highest rates of overweight and obese adults at 75 per cent compared with a combined State average of 66 per cent. ActiveSmart focuses on achieving long term, sustainable changes in physical activity behaviours and because the program connects participants to existing opportunities this means physical activity levels can be maintained once the service delivery concludes. “Sports clubs and recreation centres are the heart of so many regional towns and we want ActiveSmart to help even more people connect with them and reap the benefits of being more active,” Ms Davies said. The Minister said previous versions of ActiveSmart have proven cost efficient and effective in addressing inactivity levels in other communities, with every $1 invested in the program saving $25 in health, transport and environmental costs over 10 years.

Avon and Hills Mining Awareness Group Inc.Brian Dale

RECENTLY I was lucky enough to meet local farmer Peter Cook whose land in Morangup, Wundowie and Wooroloo covers roughly 90 per cent of the proposed Felicitas bauxite mine and more than half of the land for Fortuna. Mr Cook has been farming in and around the Toodyay shire for decades and is the key to Chinese Government plans to mine bauxite in the Darling Ranges. He is much as I had imagined him to be – sharp as a tack and obviously a very shrewd businessman. A pretty fit-looking gentleman in his seventies who shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Mr Cook was very open and frank and answered most of my questions. He said that when Bauxite Alumina Joint Ventures (BAJV)/Bauxite Resources Limited (BRL) approached him to explore for minerals on his land, the first thing he did was contact another farmer, Andrew

Hare, who owned the Bindoon property where BAJV/BRL had mined 130,000 tonnes of bauxite. (This was mined on an extractive industries licence obtained from the Shire of Chittering without obtaining proper approvals.) According to Mr Cook, Mr Hare told him that his experience with the companies was good and he was happy with the outcome. As a result, Mr Cook agreed to allow BAJV to explore for minerals on his own land. The rest, as they say, is history. A big bauxite deposit was found and BAJV set up a Toodyay shopfront to tell us how great mining would be for the rest of us. The mining company continued to present a ‘business as usual’ stance even though Mr Cook said he had cancelled their access agreements in early 2015. For decades Mr Cook, who continues to buy more land, has been accumulating farmland in Morangup, Wundowie and Wooroloo and is now one of the region’s biggest landholders. I asked him why he was still buying more land and he said it was to provide access between blocks for possible future subdivisions. Mr Cook said he believed the proposed bauxite mines would never eventuate.

Over the two hours or so that I spent with him, I touched many times on what his intentions were in relation to mining on his land, and his answer did not change. He said that for the moment he was happy to farm the land because he enjoyed the lifestyle. However, at some point in the not-too-distant future, he would either apply to subdivide part of his land or sit down and talk with any mining companies if they came back to him. He made it crystal clear during our meeting that his door was still wide open

Farmer leaves gate open to mine bauxite

to mining on his land if terms, conditions and money could be met. I asked Mr Cook what type of legacy he wanted to leave behind – did he want to be remembered as the man who allowed mining in the Darling Range or did he want to be known as the one who stopped mining impacting local communities? It’s the only question to which I did not get a clear answer. Everyone has their own reasons for the decisions that they make in life so let us hope Mr Cook remains a farmer/land developer.

Greg Warburton (Chair Toodyay Tidy Towns Committee)

WITH SO many members of the community and Shire staff working hard to ensure Toodyay is presented as well as it can be for the national Tidy Towns event, it is a disappointment and depressing to see recent serious dumpings in our area including large quantities of building waste on Woodendale Road and some 25 tyres on River Road. Both offences are currently under investigation by Shire Rangers. The last remaining donated picnic tables at Pelham Lookout have been smashed up by vandals for firewood. Why they do this, is hard to fathom as wood, even for illegal fires, is in generous supply on the spot. Now there is no seating at all at this important tourist attraction. Bridget Leggett and Greg Warburton attended the Red Hill community liaison meeting in order to continue the campaign for reduced litter and dumping along the road there and to thank East Metropolitan Resource Centre for organising a waste and recycling education display at the markets as a part of the celebratory weekend. Clean Up Australia Day happens on Sunday March 6 which is very timely and a perfect opportunity for Adopt-a-Spot groups and others to clean up prior to the Tidy Towns judging. I know that at least one group, which traditionally cleans up a long section of Toodyay-Perth Road on Clean Up Australia Day, is annoyed at the onerous requirements imposed by Main Roads to do this. These restrictions, combined with Main Roads now refusing to empty wayside bins, will inevitably lead to increasing build-up of garbage along our roadsides. Meanwhile we rely on volunteers working independently to clean up the Toodyay Road and empty the Main Roads bins. Our member for Moore, MP Shane Love, wished to congratulate both Toodyay (Australia’s Tidiest Town 2015) and Guilderton (Clean Beaches 2015) for achieving national recognition with Tidy Towns Sustainable Communities. Both communities are in his electorate and he invited representatives of the two respective community group committees to Parliament House for lunch and a tour. It was a fascinating and enjoyable day and we took away with us the heartfelt words from Shane when he said that Toodyay has the most impressive community spirit of any town he knows. Shane of course will be at the big event on Monday March 18. The committee has been working hand in glove with Shire staff and Councillors in a blur of communications and meetings to ensure every detail and possibility of the event has been covered. Such as will the fully loaded bus get to some of the points of interest on the tour? Although planning and organising for the national event have been the focus of our time and energy, the committee has still been dealing with core Tidy Towns business and will continue to do so well beyond the event. In the meantime we steady our nerves and hope all will go to plan. If not it won’t be for the lack of planning and work. I encourage all Toodyay community members to be involved and support this prestigious national event and help Toodyay continue striving to be a litter-free, sustainable community.

Toodyay Friends of the RiverGreg Warburton - Project Officer

OUR FIRST working bee for the year was a big success with a crew of willing weed pullers working along the first section of the John Pyle Walk Track. This popular walk follows the riverbank from Duidgee Park to the caravan park. Large quantities of nightshade (Solanum nigrum) along with bamboo and castor oil

Friends lay waste to riverbank weedsplant were quickly piled up. With others chain-sawing, whipper-snipping and raking, by the end of the session the area was looking cared for and presentable. A pleasant morning tea was had afterwards which gave members a chance to catch up after the Christmas/New Year break and start to think about how the coming year will pan out. Upper most in our minds are the National Tidy Towns Awards event and associated activities from March 17 to 20. Other significant dates are Clean Up Australia Day on March 6. This will consist of the Toodyay Friends of the River joining forces with the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club at 6 am at Morangup for a roadside litter pick up. The clean-up will ensure national delegates coming to Toodyay for the big event will be greeted with a pristine scene the moment they cross our shire boundary. Wheatbelt NRM are running a Bushcare Grant Workshop in Northam on March 9 and Conserving the Avon River Environment (CARE) will be meeting in York on April 8. The next TFOR working bee is on Sunday 20 March starting at 8am at Lloyd Reserve. There will also be a guided walk along the Bilya Walk Track from Lloyd Reserve

to Millards Pool on that morning. Any enquiries about the Toodyay Friends

of the River please phone Robyn 95742578 or Greg 95745445.

Southern Blind Snake

WORM-LIKE creatures found recently have proven to be the Southern Blind Snake, a member of herpetofauna that resembles a fat worm and grows to an approximate length of 45cms. They are non-venomous and range in colour from brownish-purple to pink with a cream belly. The photograph, courtesy of the publication Guide to Reptiles and Frogs of the Perth Region, shows a typical colouration and also a common pose so it is easy to identify. Both head and tail ends are described as ‘bullet shaped’ but the head can be distinguished by two tiny dots that appear as eyes. The mouth is extremely small and set beneath an overshot jaw and you may see a tiny flickering forked tongue that identifies it as from the snake family. It is egg-laying, known as oviparous in the scientific world, and can produce up to 25 eggs. The Southern Blind Snake spends most of its life beneath the ground (fossorial) in ant nests, termite mounds or beneath leaf litter, rocks or logs; it feeds on ant eggs, larvae, pupae and termites. Its very close-fitting, shiny scales make it

Smelly blind snake give predators a whiffimmune to the bites of ants. With the above description of this small reptile how does it protect itself from predators? If harassed or handled it can release a very unpleasant odour from its anal glands. As there is still much study to be done on this little creature it has also been suggested that the odour may be used as an attractant in the role of reproduction.

Weed of the MonthJacquie Lucas

Witchgrass - Panicum capillare

WITCHGRASS is native to most of North America and is known by many names such as panicgrass, ticklegrass, tumble panic, tumbleweed grass and witches’ hair. It grows in many types of habitat especially man-made or disturbed habitats. Witchgrass is an annual bunchgrass growing prostrate or erect to heights exceeding one metre. It is green to blue or purple-tinged. In texture it is quite hairy, especially on the leaves and at the nodes. The ligule is a fringe of long hairs. These hairs can produce an allergic reaction in some people. The flower is a large open panicle which may be over half the total length of the plant up to half a metre long. At maturity it fans out, spreading to a width over 20cm. As the plant dies and dries, the panicles may break off whole and become tumbleweeds. Recently Witchgrass made Channel 7 News in Melbourne - see au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/video/watch/30849115/tumbleweeds-flood-properties/#page1. The actual video has become quite a Facebook sensation. In all seriousness, it shows the problems

Witch grass raises its ugly head

Toodyay Naturalists’ ClubBrian Foley

WE ARE now under way for 2016 and it is going to be another exciting year judging by the excursions and speakers we have planned for our monthly meetings. At our February meeting new member Terry High gave a talk on his life as a wildlife carer for his beloved raptors, and we were able to interact with Hayley the whistling kite. Terry showed slides of his travels to Nepal and the local raptors, birds which are revered by the locals and control the way the Nepalese run their lives.

this weed can cause when not effectively controlled. Witchgrass can also be toxic to stock, particularly sheep. In Victoria, a farmer lost 100 out of 400 lambs, when they ate it. The Victorian Department of Primary Industry says that the toxin in the plant blocks the bile duct of the sheep, resulting in photosensitisation, progressing to jaundice, resulting in death. The New South Wales DPI says that as well as being toxic to stock, witchgrass is a known vector of the wheat streak mosaic virus. Witchgrass can be controlled by many of the methods used for other annual grass weeds and destruction of young plants can be achieved by cultivation to prevent setting of seed. Also effective is the mowing of areas where the plant grows before it sets seeds. Last but not least, individual plants can be pulled up while they are small. Witchgrass is one of the few weeds

unaffected by the herbicide Atrazine. When this chemical is used for weed control, other weeds are eliminated and the absence of competition allows witchgrass to flourish. When witchgrass is among the weeds infesting agronomic crops, a combination of several herbicides should be used. According to the Herbiguide website (http://www.herbiguide.com.au/Descriptions/hg_Witchgrass.htm) Witchgrass can be controlled by the application of glyphosate in autumn and spring.

Thank you Terry. It was very interesting to hear about parts of the world that many of us will not visit. I believe you are going to be a valuable member of the TNC. Our next meeting is 6.00am on Sunday March 6 at our Adopt-a-Spot on Toodyay Road, in the vicinity of Morangup Reserve, to collect rubbish along the road verge. Afterwards we will find an area to walk through in a reserve opposite Strahan Road and have morning tea. Members and non- members are welcome to attend and help to keep Toodyay clear of rubbish. At our March 12 meeting (second Saturday of the month) at the CWA Hall we will have a

presentation from Greg Warburton on Ernest Giles with emphasis on the plant collecting and Toodyay history. There are a lso in teres t ing Great Western Woodland and Helena Aurora Range connections and as always Greg’s presentations hold great interest for Toodyay locals. A full program for 2016 can be found on the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club website - toodyaynats.org.au.For more information or phone club president Brian 9574 5448.

FARMERS in the South West are warned that recent summer rain is ideal for barber’s pole worm. It’s been an unusually wet summer so far for many parts of the South West. Experts are warning that this is particularly important for Wheatbelt sheep farmers who are not accustomed to summer rainfall which can bring about serious worm problems, especially the summer-active barber’s pole worm. Barber’s pole worm – a blood-sucking parasite in sheep – prospers in warm, wet weather. “Barber’s pole worm can be fatal in all classes of sheep,” said vet and parasitology expert Dr Susan Swaney, Livestock Technical Veterinarian for Virbac Australia. “The worm thrives in the warm, moist conditions we’ve seen recently, and their numbers increase rapidly. “For farmers there are serious productivity impacts. “The worm which is often lethal

especially in young and pregnant animals can also cause subclinical losses due to slow weight gain, reduced wool production and milk supply.” While barber’s pole worm can cause weakness, anaemia and bottle jaw, physical symptoms can be slow to appear. In the worst cases, sheep can die within a few days after an infestation – before any of the visible signs appear. “Regular worm egg counts once a month can alert you to the problem,” Dr Swaney advised. In the case of an infestation, she said the best parasite-management strategy combines chemical and non-chemical methods. There are a number of chemical treatments for barber’s pole worm on the market. One effective treatment is Cydectin Long Acting drench injection – applied with a quick injection under the skin. “A drench treatment like Cydectin Long Acting gives you up to 91 days peace of

Barber’s pole worm loves wet summers

mind that your sheep are worm-free. It will also protect pastures against barber’s pole worm re-contamination for at least 107 days and by then, the conditions will be less favourable to infestation.” Some strains of barber’s pole worm have become resistant to certain drenches, including Ivermectin, Abamectin, and Benzimidazole. Cydectin Long Acting has been proven effective against these resistant strains. Dr Swaney added that Cydectin’s potency could be stretched even further by using it with an effective primer drench such as Levamisole Gold, Duocare or Zolvix. “You also need to combine your drench program with non-chemical treatments by rotating sheep out of infested paddocks,” Dr Swaney added. “Put drenched sheep onto paddocks that are dry and non-infected and ensure infested paddocks are adequately spelled to allow for larval contamination to die. Monitor flocks carefully to make sure

they are healthy – good nutrition with enough protein and trace elements will help to build their immune system and prevent major outbreaks of the worm.” “An integrated parasite management strategy will mean cleaner sheep, less pasture contamination, and increased productivity.”

Mortlock Pony ClubNyree Anderson

WHAT’S more exciting to a young rider than buying a new pony? The first pony club rally of course. Mortlock Pony Club hosted their registration day along with a half-day rally on February 14 with an amazing 16 members attending, new and old. The grounds were bursting with eager ponies and willing riders. With a unique mix of bombproof ponies to green horses, the instructors catered to all. A big thank you to all the coaches who made the first rally exciting, fun and educational. If you are interested in the exciting world and endless opportunities the Pony Club offers, please do not hesitate to contact the club through our Facebook page (Mortlock Pony Club Notice/Events Page (formerly Toodyay Pony Club) or Tanzi Carpenter by

Club thanks eager and willing members and volunteers

Toodyay Agricultural SocietyMary Donegan Guthrie

THE AGM was held on Monday February 8 at the Youth Hall. It was encouraging to see new faces among our guests and many stayed on to enjoy the scrumptious supper. Our 2015 President John Mitchinson was re-elected unopposed for this year. The new first vice-president is Kevin Hutchings and second vice-president is Karen Dore. Brian McGill again accepted the position of patron and our wonderful treasurer, Tracey Salmond, also accepted for another year. We are truly grateful and very lucky to have her. Our jovial and wonderful secretary, Megan Ebdon, has resigned. Thanks for a great year Megan. A new secretary will be appointed by the

calling 0400 793 219. Even if you do not own a horse or pony yourself our friendly club is always willing to help. Behind the scenes, whatever the weather, there is always something going on and we are a very lucky club to have so many volunteers to help. January 29 saw the club start to erect our first shed to be used for horsemanship classes and storage. Many thanks to Cameron Hoddy for taking existing cement off the supporting frame and welding on new metal, and also to Campbell Jones, Brad Phillips and Sally Hoddy for spending the day putting up the shed frame. Early in February we had another group of amazing volunteers who came down to the grounds and finally completed the shed. Very grateful thanks to Sue Tighe, Geoff Romero, Nicole Lockyer, John Duckworth, David Duncan and Mel Steele for your time and muscle.

New faces sign up to support our showcommittee at this month’s meeting. We look forward to welcoming this new member to our fun-loving and supportive committee. The committee and partners enjoyed a wonderful end-of-year function in January at the home of Robert and Sue Millar. The rain and wind attempted to spoil our spirits. However, with the efforts of chef extraordinaire Fletch on the BBQ and the outstanding accompanying spread supplied by our committee, nothing in the elements could compete with our fun and laughter. Thank you Robert and Sue; you are exceptional hosts and your home provided us with one of the best views in Toodyay. The committee will be busy planning and looking forward to providing the family and friends of Toodyay with another outstanding show on Saturday October 8. Become a member and support our show.

Toodyay Ballet SchoolLani McGeady

THE ANNUAL Australian Independent Dance Teacher Awards conference and awards ceremony took place on Saturday January 30 at The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). The informative sessions held during the day were of great benefit to the teachers lucky enough to take part. There were glowing reports for the varied workshops and lectures which included finance, class planning, child development, copyright law and psychology. In the evening, after some refreshments, the teachers returned to observe the nominees for awards. It was such a fantastic night with so many teachers recognised for their incredible contribution in so many different areas and genres. The nominated teachers and their guests and families were treated to entertainment ranging from tiny acrobats to large Eisteddfod troupes with solo performances in between. Three teachers were recognised for outstanding contributions and received the awards for the night. Lani McGeady from Toodyay Ballet School was thrilled to be announced as a trophy recipient.

Lani McGeady won a dance teacher award. She was recognised for her contribution and results with rural children, in offering them opportunities and training similar to students from urban backgrounds. Lani has worked tirelessly over the past 22 years to ensure gifted and dedicated students receive good opportunities. Some of Lani’s students have travelled from as far as Quairading, Kellerberrin, Wongan Hills, Yerecoin and Beverley and have been accepted into The Australian Ballet School, Tanya Pearson’s Coaching Academy, WAAPA and VCASS. Her students have travelled all around Australia, New Zealand and Europe winning scholarships to London, New Zealand and Sydney. Lani’s students have represented WA in The National Lucie Saronova Competition, Showcase Nationals on the Gold Coast as well as Hollywood Bound Nationals in Melbourne. At the moment there are seven students travelling on scholarship to Toodyay twice a week from Merredin, Kellerberrin, Quairading and Beverley. Lani intends to continue offering as many opportunities to as many families and students as possible throughout the Wheatbelt and especially Toodyay.

Given we have been experiencing some particularly HOT days over the past couple of weeks we wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone how susceptible pocket pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats & mice) are to overheating. These cute little critters don't possess sweat glands and can't pant to lose heat like dogs can. Therefore, it is very important to ensure their enclosures are kept in shady, well-protected environments, and it's also essential that you provide them with alternative options to keep cool. Some suggestions include; · Ice packs for them to lay on · Cold wet towels· Ice blocks in their water bowl to keep their water source cool but also

for them to lick.Hot days can be fatal for our pocket pets because of their small size and high susceptibility to heat stroke. Please pay particular attention to them in these summer months and don't hesitate to phone us at the clinic if you would like more advice.

Canadian Sensei kicks off a local hootenanny

Avon Valley Shotokan Karate ClubNyaree Lawler

LIL’ OLD Clackline/Toodyay Karate Club had the privilege last month of hosting internationally renowned Sensei John Gilbert from Canada. Sensei John has been doing karate for 43 years, with 38 of those years spent teaching Shotokan karate (the style of karate our club teaches). He is an international referee, vice- p res iden t o f Shotokan Kara te -Do International Federation of Canada, secretary of Karate Quebec, has a Masters in Education and is also a tai chi instructor. Sensei John’s special interest is teaching bunkai, which is the practical, or fighting side, of kata.

In the training sessions on Sunday February 21, Sensei John’s advice to the students was to see someone new arriving as an opportunity to reinvent their love of karate and maybe learn something new, or even better, perfect what they already know. He was also keen for club members to join in the ‘hootenanny’ afterwards. Isn’t it great that a small local sporting club can provide such opportunities for local students? Welcome to the new students that have joined the club. We hope you join in as many of the extra activities the club offers as you can, and get the most out of your membership. Speaking of membership, please try to get

your fees in by the second week of each term. In preparation and anticipation of the National Tidy Towns awards being held in Toodyay, we will be doing our adopt-a-spot clean up the week before on Friday March 11. Please grab a pair of tongs and a rubbish bag to get our town sparkling to show off to all the national representatives who will be visiting our town. All classes are held only during school terms. If you would like to keep up-to-date with all that is going on at the club, email Helen at [email protected] and ask her to link you into the Avon Valley Shotokan Facebook site.

Toodyay Bowling Club Maureen Adams

CORPORATE Bowls, which end on March 10, are in full swing. This event is sponsored by the Toodyay and Districts Bendigo Community Bank and the winners, besides getting a gift for winning, select a charity to which the monetary prize will go. We had sufficient nominations to warrant holding the competition on two nights each week. The ladies have had two good wins in pennants against York Blue and Northam Gold gaining Toodyay three points each week, our opponents getting one point each. Toodyay is fifth on the league ladder and two local ladies were selected to play in the league fours in Merredin. To be selected in this event is a milestone for a bowler so, well done Maureen and Lorraine. In spite of very warm weather a great weekend was had by all and the Avon Valley League came third in the competition. Over two weeks February 10 and 17, the ladies’ triples championship was held. Congratulations to the winners Lorraine Musielak, Margaret Scahill, and Renarta Gray. The men’s second division has hit the lead on the Avon Valley League ladder after a convincing win against Dowerin on February 20. First division also had a good win gaining six points to Meckering’s two points, leaving first division third on the ladder. Men’s pairs club championship was held on January 31, and the winners were Branco Andrijich and Tim Watson. Runner-up was Barry Bond and John Smart. Congratulations to these contestants. Anyone interested is bowling, contact Peter Healy 95744778 or Renarta Gray 9625 1176.
