On Friday the 30th of July, the Wagin CRC participated in the Crazy Hair Day event. The event is run

annually to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. All money raised on the day is donated to the cause.

The CRC decided to set up a Crazy Hair Day photo booth where the community could come in

and take a photo with our props and show off their crazy hair. The crazy hair winner was Kayla

Patuwai and the photo booth winner was Wah Husa. Thankyou to everyone who participated.

Council Election

The election to fill an extraordinary vacancy has been completed with Tanya French being declared the

successful candidate. The voting was Tanya French 78 & Denise Patterson 56.

Voter turnout was very disappointing with only 11% turnout. We have had a good response to early voting

with 106 voting but only 28 votes cast on Saturday. We will look at mid-week voting for any future extraordinary

elections

Council Budget

The 2016/17 Council budget is in the final stages. The Finance Staff have done a great job in preparing the

document. There is a fair spread of capital and operational items. Footpaths and kerbing will feature again

this year. Council is looking at a small increase but the final increase will be decided by Council on the 9 th

August 2016

Halogen globes

We are coming to the time when the “Long Life” globes will start failing and need replacing. The chemicals

in the globes should not be disposed of at the landfill site so Council has bins at the Shire Office and attendants

hut at the Waste site for the collection of these globes. The globes will then be disposed of at the proper

disposal site in Perth.

Tourism Committee

The next Meeting will be held on Saturday 13th August 2016.

The presentation from Jac Eerbeek CEO Australia’s Golden Outback is now available at the Shire Office for

those interested. Members of the public are welcome to attend the meeting

Heavy haulage routes in Wagin

The public meeting for the heavy Haulage routes was recently held with a very good turnout of over 100

people.

Over 30 questions were asked from the floor with concern expressed for the creation of a bypass or alternate

route around town.

The general feeling of the meeting was that all truck traffic remains on the main street for the time being.

Councils “Speed Alert Monitoring” (SAM) trailer will be set up in town to highlight the speed of vehicles as they

drive through town.

Leake Lane

Leake Lane will become one way in early August 2016. Signage is being purchased to advise the public.

Council will review the success or otherwise of this decision in two months.

Bushfire AGM – 17th August 2016

The AGM of the Wagin Bushfire Brigades will be held at the Shire Office on the 17th August 2016 commencing

at 7pm.

The meeting will receive reports on fires during the 2015/16 fire season as well as appoint Fire Control officers

etc. It will also discuss the need for another fire truck in the eastern section of the Shire and the operation of

the volunteer’s fuel card system.

Also, it is intended to have a pre–season gathering of Bushfire brigades on the 23rd September 2016 at the

Wagin Oval to kick off the 2016/17 fire season. Advertising well is undertaken closer to the event but mark your

diaries

Road works: -

Some roads works are underway with the following: -

Hello Wagin book lovers!

National Science Week 2016 is coming soon - it runs between 13th to 21st August. To celebrate,

Wagin Library & Gallery will have displays of books about the wonderful world of science for both

children and adults. Just to start things off, who can tell the difference between drones, 'droids and

robots? No idea? Drop into the Children’s Room of the library to find out.

The State Library of Western Australia and The West Australian are giving one lucky book reader and

a friend the chance to rub shoulders with Australia’s famous authors and publishers at the prestigious

2016 Western Australian Premier’s Book Awards ceremony on Monday 3 October 2016. To enter,

vote for your favourite fiction book from those shortlisted at:

https://competitions.thewest.com.au/print-comps/the-west-australian/2006-premiers-book-

awards-2016/ for your chance to win. Voting opens on Friday 15 July and closes on Friday 19 August

2016. Adult Readers’ Book Reviews

Wendy Steels writes:

“If you are a reader of romantic fiction but tired of the predictable story lines of the Australian

outback romances, you won’t be disappointed with Fiona McIntosh’s historical romance novels.

Meticulously researched for historical accuracy, with everyday characters and believable action,

these books give an insight into life during World War 1 and its aftermath, with a touch of romance

to keep the reader guessing.

Wagin Library has a number of these novels available to borrow. And if you find her writing style to

your taste, you may like to try some of her other works. She is a prolific Australian writer with titles in

many genres including crime, fantasy, non-fiction and even children’s books. She also runs writing

master classes a few times a year, so popular that they are booked up until September 2017!

So try something a little different and check out Fiona McIntosh when you next visit the library.

Review Take Two: The Crossing by Michael B. Radburn (in library collection)

Writing from his farm in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW, Michael B. Radburn’s work reflects

both natural and supernatural themes. Described as “Ian Rankin meets Stephen King”, Radburn is

the author of three full-length novels: The Crossing, Blackwater Moon, and his new 2016 book The

Falls.

Gary Flint writes: “Gripping. Entertaining. Kept me riveted to the last page. The story’s agenda is

pushed along by the slowly rising water of a newly-created dam. Excellent book from a little-known

Aussie author.”

Happy reading!

PIVOTAL ROLE RECOGNISED MICHELLE HAZELL EDITOR FOR THE DEFENCE MAGAZINE AIR Operations Co-ordinator

David Dunham has been

recognised for his outstanding

service to the aviation

operations, aviation safety and

airspace management of RAAF

Base Pearce and Gingin airfield

flying operations. David, who has

been in the APS for 13 years, was

awarded a Public Service Medal

in the 2016 Australia Day Honours

List. “You’re just doing the job

and then this comes out of the

blue, however, it’s nice to be

recognised,” David says. The

award recognises his pivotal role

in the co-ordination of airbase

support to the international

search effort for Malaysia Airlines

flight MH370 in 2014 and to the

Department of Fire and

Emergency Services in 2014-15 in its response to bushfire emergencies in Western Australia. David is

responsible for planning and co-ordinating the safe, efficient and effective use of RAAF Base Pearce

and Gingin airfield, military airspace and selected airfield support services. He was also heavily

involved in the development of a long-term, strategic plan for restricted military airspace

management and incident management. As a result, RAAF Base Pearce has been consistently well

placed to respond to contingencies. “Pearce is a small base that reacts quickly and efficiently to

the things that pop up. That, in large part, is due to good co-ordination and communication

between the local units and service providers,” David says. “The base has always had a good

reputation, in providing effective air operations support and having people who work hard and get

the job done. “We’re always working ahead and planning for how we’re going to get our flying

done and how we’re going to support that flying with available services.” A major element of the

search for MH370 was staged out of RAAF Base Pearce. With deployed RAAF and international

aircraft, crews and support personnel and a significant increase in deployed supporting staff, the

base operated well beyond normal capacity and enabling functions were stretched. David says

the first week of Operation Southern Ocean was hectic. “It quickly ramped up. In addition to RAAF

aircraft, we had aircraft from different nations including China, South Korea, Japan, US, NZ, and

Malaysia,” he says. “There were a lot of unknowns and firsts. We had language barriers to get

through. Each nation had put in considerable effort to deploy aircraft and were keen to participate

in search operations quickly. There were significant challenges the base had to meet to enable

each nation to be in a position to commence fully supported and safe flying operations. “Base

personnel worked long hours to get that initial support in place, then gradually people were

deployed to Pearce and a task Group was established. This settled things down and allowed for

the development of a routine, but the high tempo remained until the end. “With maximum search

efforts deployed for about six weeks and no result, it is not surprising that David was disappointed.

“At the end, when the visual search was called off, there was that disappointment and it was pretty

obvious to everyone,” David says. “Everyone put in a lot of effort. We usually come up with

successes when we do things and not finding anything from MH370 was a disappointment,

however, with time there has been the opportunity to recognise that significant achievements still

came from Operation Southern Ocean.” David still follows the fate of MH370 with high interest.


8 | P a g e

“Everyone would like to know that eventually the main body of the aircraft will be found, and it

probably will be just a matter of how much time and effort goes by before they do,” he says.

David’s work to facilitate improved Air Force support services during the Western Australia 2014-15

fire season, one of the worst on record, did not go unnoticed. Air Force contributes significantly to

the emergency response efforts of local and State government agencies in Western Australia

through the Defence Assistance to the Civil Community arrangements. This includes support to

water-bombing aircraft from the Department of Parks and Wildlife and Fire and Emergency Services

Australia based at RAAF Base Pearce and Gingin Airfield. David co-ordinated the airfield support

arrangements to enable continuous and often concurrent water-bombing activities from

December 2014 to March 2015. This included support to heavy-lift aerial firefighting tankers and

equipment deployed from the eastern states for the first time. “The bushfires definitely took priority

and we provided extended services,” David says.

“The C-130 and RJ80, the large aerial fire tankers operated over east, deployed on short notice. We

had to get them operating out of Pearce quickly so they could assist with the firefighting.”

David says the general operating agreements already in place and the strong working relationship

between the Department of Parks and Wildlife air operations management and the base enabled

the fast and effective support to the initial arrival of the fire tankers.

“When Parks and Wildlife are using aerial firefighting aircraft on a fire and want to use one of our

airfields, we have procedures in place to be able to support them with airfield services including

water replenishment effectively and efficiently,” David says.

David has also initiated support and access procedures through a memorandum of understanding

between the WA Government, the Department of Parks and Wildlife and Commonwealth services,

which is reviewed each fire season.

“The procedures have a positive effect on the way Defence supports the community in times of

emergencies as they clear everything up and makes processes more efficient,” he says.

“I feel satisfaction from doing a good job to assist the community, however, it’s a whole-of-base

effort to be able to support and co-ordinate flying operations.”

Friends of Wagin Library & Gallery News Hi to you all, hope this finds you well and happy. As I write this on Friday 29th July, it is not so cold. I

am relieved, as it has been a very cold winter so far.

We had a very interesting meeting yesterday at our great library, with a lot to discuss on how we

can improve many aspects and get more people involved. Please do try and come along to the

next 'Friends' meeting late afternoon on Thursday 25th August, in the library. We are an informal

and friendly group and always encourage new members.

Coming up is National Science Week, 13th until 21st August. This year's theme is Drones, 'Droids

and Robots. During the month, the library will display a variety of books relating to science.

Children are invited to bring their home-made robots for display - we hope to see some interesting

examples.

Did You Know?

Starfish do not have brains.

There are 34 bathrooms in the White House.

Your feet are bigger in the afternoon than any other time of the day.

The yo-yo originated in the Philippines, where it was used as a weapon for hunting.

Seeing in colour is evolutionary. Our ancestors saw in black and white.

The average person spends two weeks of their life waiting for traffic lights.

Giraffes cannot swim.

Well, that is it for this update. Have a great day.

Wagin Library & Gallery community group.

Australian Merino Sire Evaluation By Cam Clifton

The WA 2015 drop Merino Sire Evaluation is run by the Department of Ag at the research station in

Katanning. The program involves inseminating 50 ewes to each sire and evaluating their progeny

for all of the important profit traits.

The information gives growers the fairest assessment possible of each sire in an even field.

The table above has been developed from the raw data taken by the Ag Department. The sires

are listed in order of the least number of undesirable traits each possesses. Unlike ASBV's, raw data

can highlight a sires faults, giving the grower a better picture of the sires future progeny.

For example, three of the sires had progeny with around 25% high breach wrinkle score 4 or 5. All

three of these sires are likely to breed an excessive number of high maintenance sheep. Possibly 1

in 4 will be culls.

That will leave much less selection pressure for important profit traits such as early growth body

weight, wool weight, and fertility. Another example is three sires had over 30% progeny with high

nonfibre pigment score 4 or 5. Nonfibre pigment leads to fibre pigment, therefore these three are

also likely to breed high numbers of cull sheep.

Borondi 130322 is the only sire in the evaluation that has performed strongly in all measured and

tested profit traits. Borondi 130322 and his progeny will breed a larger number of sheep that will be

eligible to class into your top line than the other sires. This will result in greater production from your

flock.

The benefit of Merino Sire Evaluations is that it compares rams in an even playing field and exposes

any weakness a sire may have. It is the only system that does. Merino Sire Evaluations are the only

way to honestly compare sires.

“This is YOUR Life” A note from the author

by Kelly Newton-Wordsworth I wrote, “This is YOUR life” for many reasons. One of which is that as I have travelled from nation to nation, as an

international performing and recording artist, meeting people from different cultures and age groups, I have been

constantly told that I am “lucky”. Sometimes two or three people have said to me in a day, “Oh you are so lucky”, as I

have talked with them in a coffee shop, on a train, or after performing in a concert. These are unrelated situations, with

entirely different types of people. People have also said it to me when I have been talking to them in Williams, Narrogin,

Perth and all over Australia.

My book “This is YOUR life” is to share with people information I have discovered, to help anyone who is seeking something

“bigger out there”, to realise that there is no such thing as “luck”. That our future depends on every choice we make,

every tiny decision, our mindset and the actions we take. My prayer is that through reading this book the reader by the

final page will be empowered to truly grab their life and “go for it”!

I have set out in the book, experiences I want to share with the reader, that will lead them to see something about

themselves they may have never seen, or things they may have forgotten they dreamed of doing. They can begin again

on the journey to achieve goals that may have been given up because of false beliefs, or the influence of other people

around them.

As I have travelled around this world, I have discovered that Australia is perhaps the toughest nation to live in some ways.

There are landscapes that may be harsher than here, but the Australian people are as far as I am concerned, are far

tougher on each other than I have seen in other nations. The “tall poppy syndrome” is real. It is not a joke. There is a reason

why many artists have to leave this nation to find any kind of success.

I have heard and seen parents put their children down in ways that I have not observed in other nations. I find this very

peculiar to Australia and it does not surprise me that this nation has the highest rate of male suicide between the ages of

18 to 25 in the world. The way people speak to each other and the judgement of others, adds up over time, to be

something that people can find it difficult to live with. This also contributes to the widespread problem of depression that

we have in this country.

In “This is YOUR life”, one of my main goals is to provide the reader with new ways of dealing with difficult situations, which

come from a new way of perceiving the world in which we live. I want to help people to see a much bigger vision for

what is possible not only for their own life, but for our nation and people around the world.

I have travelled now singing internationally for getting up to about twenty years, in all kinds of situations. The songs that I

have written have usually been for the purpose of bringing to the surface situations that exist, which are adverse to the

future of humanity, the environment in which we live and all of the creatures who share this earth with us.

I sang in the first World peace concert in the history of India to an audience of thousands of civilians, but walking through

the crowd were thousands of soldiers with sub-machine guns. At the place we were to have performed in Kashmir, the

stage had a bomb under it, which blew our performance space to pieces. I ended up singing in Ladakh, in the Himalayas.

They changed the name of the concert to a “World music festival” and all of the artists were told not to sing any songs

about “peace”.

I opened my performance with a song I rewrote the lyrics of to Janis Joplin’s “Mercedes Benz”, to start with the lines, “Oh

Lord, won’t you give us peace in this world” and went on from there to write a whole song about world peace. I can say

that I was quite nervous about that decision, but I had prayed about it with my husband William and so that was that!

Miraculously the head of the Indian army, was so impressed he took William and I on a phenomenal journey up the

mountain to this enormous Buddhist temple and we watched the full moon rise over the Himalayas like a giant search

light in the sky. He also asked me to sing for the Dalai Lama and for the whole Indian army.

There are so many experiences I share with the reader in my book, mainly to inspire people to truly know that every day

is precious and we never ever know what is going to happen in this world, so we may as well live the life we have to the

max right now in this second. It doesn’t matter what age a person is, if you are alive, you have the choice to do whatever

can be done and go one hundred percent at whatever you are doing.

I speak about the difference that my decision to “give my life up” to serve God has made in having such a blessed life.

In fact that is the exact thing that has made all of the difference.

Many people feel very alone in the centre of a big crowd. They can feel alone with their family or their best mates all

around them. I am sharing in this book, why I never feel alone, anywhere, any place or any time.

I would love you to come to the launch of my book at the Wagin CRC at 6 pm, on Friday 12th August, and join me for a

talk and discussion about the book and some songs which go with it. You have nothing to lose and lots to gain, even if

you don’t agree with anything I am saying, come along and share in the experience that I would love to provide and

enjoy some wine, cheese and snacks. It will only take about two hours of your precious time.

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Cheers,

Kelly

WAGIN LADIES GOLF By Diane Davidson

HOME ADVANTAGE FOR DUNHAM, PAINTER AND DAVIDSON

The 2016 Wagin Ladies Open Day was held on Thursday 21

July with visiting clubs from Boddington, Katanning, Lake

View, Narrogin, Pingelly, Wandering, and Williams. Five

ladies also travelled from Rockingham, being guests of

Bronwyn Hegarty and Vicki Kelly and joined the field to

compete in the 18 hole Stableford competition. The course looked magnificent with the fairways being well

covered after the wonderful start to the season. The sand

greens were a little heavy but ran true.

This year Wagin players had the home advantage showing

the way with Jan Painter winning the A Grade Nett

Competition with 36 points on a 3-way count back from

Jenny Hemley (Wickepin) and Jenny Kelly (Rockingham). B

Grade Nett Winner with 39 Stableford points went to Diane Davidson and was presented with the

Ivy Ward Memorial trophy. Runner up on 37 points was Robin Anderson from Wandering. Gross

Winner with 20 points was won by Karen Murray of Katanning. Another local Robyn Dunham took

out the Veterans trophy with 34 points, Vicki Kelly, Robin Anderson and Jenny Hemley won the

team's event with a combined score of 104.

Novelties which included Nearest to Pins, Longest Putts, and Long Drives went to a mixture of players

from all the clubs represented. Amongst the winners were Karen Murray, Marie Hardacre, Leonie

Dickson, Jenny Kelly, Tamara Bartram, Marie Densham and Diane Davidson.One visiting golfer

Kathleen Anderson of Rockingham has local connections having been born in Wagin and the sister

to local identity, the late Peter Hegarty. Kathleen joined her niece Marie Densham (nee Hegarty

formally of Wagin), now of Wandering in the field, both enjoying their day playing golf

together. Kathleen was impressed with the course, although found the sand greens a challenge.

Ladies Captain Chris Barker in her welcoming speak thanked visiting clubs for their attendance and

hoped they enjoyed playing on our course, she continued to thank everyone for their help in

making the day a success. Without support from the past and current members, either helping with

catering, in the kitchen or bar, checking score cards, carting golf buggy around the course and

last, but not least the course committee, competitions like today would be impossible. Captain Chris

also took the opportunity to thank Peel Golf Centre, the Ward Family, Wagin Motel, Wagin Panel &

Paint, Wagin Earthmoving, Gilmac, and Bank West for their continued sponsorship.

WEDNESDAY LADIES GOLF

Wednesday 27 July was a Stroke Competition being the last chance to enter a good score card

followed closely with 90-12-78 nett and showed her skills at putting and won the longest putt on

2. The Qualifying placings will be announced shortly. Thank you to Wagin Newsagency for their

sponsorship.
