Waroona Veterinary Clinic News: September 2020 - Parvovirus in Cats (and dogs) Dr Sandri Jonker

In a nutshell, this virus causes severediarrhoea, vomiting and a lifethreatening, preventable illness thatis highly contagious. All too well weall likely know about the seriousnessof parvovirus in our caninecompanions. However, what is notwell known, is that our felinecompanion animals also get a form ofthis disease and the condition is ofequal seriousness.The same as in the dogs, cats willpresent with a panleukopenia andenteritis. Which means the immunesystem crashes and renders thepatient unable to fight resident bugs,while at the same time the gut lining isdestroyed leaving bacteria to enterthe blood stream and fluid to leak out.Therefore, diarrhoea and vomitingoccur and causes life-threateningdehydration.To further reinforce how serious thisillness is, there is no specifictreatment that we can use to reversethe effects of this virus. You have towait for the body to mount an immuneresponse to fight it and while this

than even trying to treat this diseaseonce. Vaccination also protects otherunvaccinated cats by preventing thespread of parvovirus. It is everywhere,and with a large population ofunvaccinated dogs, feral cats,unvaccinated pet and shed cats thereis real potential for any cat to beexposed.Studies have reported between 25 to100% mortality, and even withintensive veterinary care, there is noguarantee that a patient will survive.The virus is also incredibly resistantand robust, so it will survive for a verylong time in the environment.Therefore, vaccination is invaluable inprotecting your cat.Here at Waroona Veterinary Clinic,we have a great team happy to helpyou arrange a time to come down andvaccinate your feline friend while alsogetting a routine general health check.We strongly believe that prevention isbetter than cure, and care about ourfeline patients.

occurs, the patient needs to besupported in hospital on antibiotics,intravenous fluids and even in somecases blood transfusions. Asmentioned before, the immunesystem has crashed so this can take awhile, and at the same time the bodypoorly absorbs nutrients from food.The virus is contracted via the faecal-oral route. So, when spending time inthe garden or exploring doing “cat-business”, sniffing or digging whereanother cat has defecated, exposesthem. Your shoes can also serve asa vessel to bring it from outside intoyour home, and poo particles may beeverywhere. Complicating it evenfurther, cats can in some cases catchparvovirus from dogs too.Fortunately, prevention is better thancure. It is available and it works. Justlike dogs, cats have a vaccination thatprotects them. It is part of yourstandard core vaccines that alsoprotect them from cat flu, and it is aseasy to protect them as a yearly visitand check up at the vets. Over theirlifetime, a yearly visit will cost less

Pioneer History - Early Days (continued)The present Shire offices on thecorner of Hesse and Henning Streetswas built at a cost of £10,120 andwere officially opened on August 31st,1963, by the Minister for LocalGovernment, Mr Logan. The ShireCouncil President at the time was J.Baron-Hay. Basic plans had beenprepared by Mr A. G. Armstrong,former Road Board Secretary, and thebuilder was T.R. Woodley. Thelandscape layout was planned by Mr.R. Shannon and the then Shire ClerkMr. M. D. Gaston, who thought of thefeature fountain, which wasconstructed in local stone. Theprevious offices on the South WestHighway later became the first PublicLibrary.Before 1925 the Council’s outsideworking staff consisted of two menwith horses and dray. At the time themain road was a track through thebush and the country west of therailway line was a sandy plain. By1925 staff had increased by one anda 30cwt Vulcan solid-tyred truck was

purchased. By 1933 equipmentincluded a Fordson tractor, horsedrawn grader, dam sinkingplough and two 30cwt trucks withfour men, plus picks and shovels.Equipment in 1963 includedthree five ton tip trucks, twomedium size diesel graders, onefront end loader, one rubbertyred dozer loader, road roller,utility, tractor and trailer. Outsidestaff at that time numbered 13,three of whom were part timeand a workshop was being builtby council that year. By 1984Shire staff employed in outsidework numbered 13 and insidestaff stood at eight, making atotal of 21 Shire employees.Equipment included four tiptrucks, two fire tenders, twotractors, two graders, a roller, twofront end loaders and fivevehicles, plus other smallermaintenancemachinery.

WildlifeIn swamps west of the railway linenear the town lived now rare speciessuch as boodie rats (burrowing rat-kangaroo), and tammars. In fact acolony of grey and red tammars livedthere, but were often chased by thetown dogs, as old residents can recalldogs baying after them. Sadly, withthe draining and clearing of theseswamp refuges, these species are nolonger in the district. Perhaps this wasthe fate of the water rat which lived inholes dug out of the banks of streams,but whose pelt was worth money, andthe subsequent trapping caused theirdisappearance.Another resident of the animal worldwhich is seldom found on the coastalplain is the bush turkey or bustard,which has not been seen for years inthe farming areas of the Shire,although at one time certain

“paddocks” were noted for these largebirds. Actually Coolup, whose nativename is Coolinup, means “home ofthe wild turkey”. The author of thisbook has seen only one bustard in thedistrict’s farmlands in 20 years.The noisy scrub bird was anothercasualty of development, but hissighting and demise has been fairlywell recorded. The first sightings everof this small but rare bird wererecorded near the presentDrakesbrook Dam wall on November3, 1843, when John Gilbert, pioneerornithologist of W.A. and JamesDrummond, colonial botanist, foundthe first known specimen along thevalley of the Drakesbrook. The birdwas reported again about 1889 andalso in 1956. A plaque and monumentto the first sighting is located on theroad end of the Drakesbrook Dam

wall. It is fortunate that the noisyscrub bird, rediscovered in 1961 nearAlbany, still exists in a special reserveat Two People’s Bay near Albany andin another newly established colonyon another reserve in the South-West.Perhaps a small mention should bemade here of sightings by localresidents of a creature described assimilar to the Tasmanian Tiger,although of varying colours rangingfrom the usual grey with stripes to areddish-brown with stripes. Mostsightings have been nearer the coastin bush areas.

The Haub Family - 100 years ago…….. Continued - Part 4

On 4January1920 therewas animportantdevelop

ment in connection with the death ofOtto Haub. Suspicions were centredupon a man staying at a shootingcamp at Lake Clifton on theWednesday night before Otto’s death.Detective-Sergeant Purdue remainedin the district of Waroona, makinginquiries, while his colleague returnedto Perth. Purdue interviewed localsAlec Hay and Alfred Gates, who initiallytold the detective that they did not knowanything of the circumstances of Otto’sdeath. The men were in fact coveringup what they were told by their duckshooting partner Robert Pahl. Pahl had

The Murder of Otto Haub – An Arrest Madeconfessed to Hay and Gates that hehad shot Haub. The pair weredisbelieving at first, but began tobelieve Pahl when he came to theircamp and informed them that he wasleaving for the city, and he rode offtowards Waroona on horseback. Pahlsaid that he had some business to doin the city, and that he intended toreturn to his place in a few days.Pahl reached the city on the Fridayevening and was under closesurveillance by Detective O’Brien. Hewas approached and asked to attendthe Criminal Investigation Departmentin Perth where he was interrogated asto his movements about the time of thetragedy. During the time that Pahl wasmaking his statement of denial of anyknowledge of the tragedy, he was quitecalm. But after he had concluded his

first statement, he hesitatedbefore he offered to make aconfession.The truth at this point he said,“I will tell you the whole truth”and continued “When comingdown the lake that morningfrom Wild Dog Bay I saw alarge number of ducks justabout Otto's fig trees. When Isaw them I pulled across nearthe other shore andcommenced to load myautomatic gun. While loading,someone fired a rifle shot atthe ducks to frighten themaway from me. The shotcame across the lake fromHaub's paddock. The ducksflew away and I got excited

and wild. I pulled across to the oppositeshore and went through the scrub intoOtto's paddock. I looked around to seewho fired the shot and then I started togo on towards the fig trees. Then Iturned around very quickly, somethingmade me do so, but I don't know what.I saw Haub going south along the edgeof the scrub close to the boundary ofhis paddock and I ran down to meethim. Before coming up to him I stoodnear a clump of bushes. I ran downthen to cross him. When I got near himhe turned round and I fired. I hit him fairin the chest. He turned and ran towardshis house. He did not go very far beforehe fell on his face and hands. I got intomy punt and paddled down the lake toHolmes's landing. When I got back tothe camp I told Hay and Gates whathad happened. They would not believeit. I felt very sorry when I had done it.At times afterwards I thought of goingto the police and telling themeverything; at other times I used to feelangry at the way Haub treated me infrightening away the ducks”.About half-past twelve, Robert Pahl,56 years of age, was formally placedunder arrest and placed in the lock-up.Sixteen days later, Pahl was taken toPinjarra where an inquest was held andat its conclusion, Pahl was committedfor trial. He was arraigned before thethen Chief Justice. Sir Robert McMillan,and was defended by Mr. J. W. Durackwhile Dr. Stow prosecuted for theCrown.Next issue……………..the inquest, thetrial and the verdict. Stay tuned.

Once upon a time in the kingdom ofHeaven, God went missing for sixdays. Eventually, Michael thearchangel found him on the seventhday resting. He enquired of God:"Where have you been?" God pointeddownwards through the clouds."Look Michael, look what I'vemade," said God. ArchangelMichael looked puzzled andsaid, " what is it ? " "It's aplanet," replied God, "and I'veput life on it. I'm going to call itEarth and it's going to be agreat place of balance.""Balance?" inquired Michael,still confused. God explained,pointing down to different partsof the earth, "For example,North America will be a placeof great opportunity and wealthwhile South America is goingto be poor; the Middle Eastover there will be a hot spotand Russia will be a cold spot.""Over there I've placed acontinent of white people and

here I've placed a continent of blackpeople." God continued pointing todifferent countries. "This one will beextremely hot and arid and this onewill be very cold and covered in ice."The archangel, impressed by Gods

work, then pointed to another arealand and asked: "what's that?" "Ah",said God. "That's Western Australia,the most glorious place on earth.There are beautiful people,impressive towns; it is the home of the

world’s finest artists, musicians,writers, thinkers, explorers andsportsman. The people fromWestern Australia are going tobe modest, intelligent andhumorous and they're going tobe found travelling the world.They'll be extremely sociable,hardworking and high achievingand they will beknown throughout the world asspeakers of truth." Michaelgasped in wonder andadmiration but then proclaimed,"What about balance God, yousaid there will be BALANCE!"God replied very wisely, "Wait tillyou see the idiots I'm putting onthe East Coast"

“Using the innate wisdom of plant medicine to nurture and nourish.WHAT ARE PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS? WHY DO WE NEED

THEM FOR GOOD HEALTH?Most of uswould be

familiar with probiotics. You wouldhave seen the word probiotic on manyyoghurt labels and there is a verypopular television commercial thatuses little blue “good bacteria”jumping about.Probiotics are what we generallyrefer to as “good bacteria”, Pro biosmeans “for life”. Probiotics are ediblebacteria that can support our health invarious ways; support healthydigestion, shorten a bout of diarrhoeaand support the body post antibiotictherapy and much, much more. Thecurrent definition of probioticsincludes preparations that containviable, microbial agents that havebeen demonstrated to improve health.Typically, these products will containfreeze-dried (lyophilized) or livebacteria or yeasts; most commonlyfrom the genera Lactobacillus andBifidobacterium. Probiotic organismscan be incorporated into supplements(powders, capsules, tablets, oils,wafers), as well as foods (milk drinks,medicinal yoghurts, fruit juices,confectionery bars, ice cream). All ofthese mediums essentially work ascarriers for the probiotic organisms.1Prebiotics or Pre bios means beforelife; essentially prebiotics are fodderfor the probiotics. They make theirway into the large intestine and allowthe probiotics to thrive. If theprobiotics don’t have any “food” theywill not survive for very long. In actualfact probiotics don’t stay in thedigestive tract for long periods of timecontrary to what many believe, alsoprobiotics do not replace or colonizethe colon with bacteria.Each and every day we literallyswallow and inhale billions of bacteria.You would think we would beperpetually sick with those hugenumbers, but clearly that isn’t thecase. Our body has an astoundingnumber of ways to arm itself and usesthis armour every second of your life.Occasionally a bad egg might slipthrough and cause a horrible case ofgastro and, to be sure one canbecome incredibly sick particularly ifthe digestive system is not particularlyrobust or hasn’t encountered toomany different strains of bacteria in itslifetime. The body has many differentarsenals at its disposal such asstomach acid, the under appreciatedappendix, mucous membranes of the

gut, the nervous system (millions ofreceptors test the stomachs contentsand the blood and if the brain detectssomething not quite right it’ll give thevomiting reflex a gigantic push tobegin the elimination process), evenour nose and eyes-if it doesn’t smell“right” or it looks off, this may set offthe gag reflex or sensations of nauseamay arise as a warning signal.There is a significant amount ofresearch into the world of probioticsand gut health taking place. What wein the naturopathic and natural healthcircles have been advocating,teaching and treating for centuriesand talking up the benefits ofprobiotics and prebiotics for goodhealth, orthodox medicine is only justcoming on board and has startingtalking about the benefits of probioticsin a positive way. This is great to seeand hear. With up to 80% of ourimmune system found in our digestivetract we can see how important ahealthy digestive system is to ouroverall health and immune resilience.As mentioned, the role of probioticbacteria is vast. There are manydifferent strains and types of bacteriaand they have different roles to play ingood gut care. Some probiotics roleis to soothe the villi (these are the tinyfinger like projections that absorbnutrients), when the villi are soothed,they grow bigger, become morestable and are therefore able toabsorb more nutrients. Good bacteriadefend us, they are like the knightssurrounding the castle and do notsurrender easily, they can evenrelease small amounts of defensivesubstances to make the environmentunpleasant for unwelcome intruders.Other therapeutic effects include:Immune modulationAnti-inflammatory activityModification of GIT transitInduction of oral toleranceReduced visceral hypersensitivityCompetition for gastrointestinal orvaginal adhesion sitesInduction of GIT mucin secretionEnhanced GIT IgA secretionDirectly attaching to rotavirusesGIT microbiota modificationBreastmilk microbiota modificationVaginal microbiota modificationProduction of beneficialcompounds (e.g., short chain fattyacids)Alteration of the vaginal, intestinal

and colonic milieuStrengthening of the intestinalbarrierRepair of the intestinal barrierChemopreventative effectsMetabolism of cholesterol in theGIT2

Above is a substantial list oftherapeutic effects for which therewould be many different species andstrains of probiotics needed. A goodpractitioner well versed in gut healthwould know which probiotic toprescribe for all of these effects. Irecommend Goulds Natural MedicineClinic, Apothecary and Farm inHobart, Tasmania for long standinggut health issues, serious and mild. Aclinic of excellence with a dedicatedteam who are world leaders in thefield of gut health.https://www.gouldsnaturalmedicine.com.au/When choosing probiotics always lookat the specific strains in the product,the amount of each strain per doseand what evidence there is for andagainst the particular strains for thecondition.Prebiotics are the foods your “goodbacteria” love to eat and thrive on andbest of all “bad bacteria won’t go nearthem and won’t use it as they cannotprocess prebiotics. So, what areprebiotics? Basically, dietary fibre-lots of roughage, resistant starchesand substances such as Inulin, GOS(galactooligosaccharides) and PHGG(partially hydrolysed guar gum).Cooked and cooled potatoes and rice,asparagus, Jerusalem artichoke,bananas, kiwi fruit, flaxseeds, garlic,onion, apples, beetroot, leeks,coconut flour, yams, carrots and infact, unpeeled vegetables in generalare a good source of prebiotics.If you have a diet high in low fibrefoods such as white bread, pasta,cereals, white sugar (biscuits, cakes,crackers etc) you should not switchover to eating high fibre foods andexpect it be a seamless happyexperience. It probably won’t be! Thebacterial world in your digestive tractis unbalanced at this stage and it willreact in a very gassy, trumpety,uncomfortable way! Go slow is myrecommendation.

Shire of Waroona Media Releases

Drakesbrook Cemetery, located inWaroona, is destined for improvedparking with the Shire looking toleverage funds to improve the localamenity through the sale of land. TheShire recently developed theDrakesbrook Cemetery Master Planto ensure sustainable management

PLANS UNDERWAY FOR WAROONA CEMETERY PARKING UPGRADEat its July meeting. “Proceeds fromthe land sales will allow for the stagedimplementation of the DrakesbrookCemetery Master Plan. Consideringthe difficult economic times, it isimportant for the Shire to look atalternative methods to financeprojects such as this one”, ShirePresident Cr Mike Walmsley said.

and development of the cemetery siteinto the future. Due to financialconstraints in being able to fund theimplementation of the DrakesbrookCemetery Master Plan in the currentbudget, Council approved listing Lot 5(11) and Lot 6 (13) Mitchell Avenue,Waroona for sale at market valuation

REDUCING CARBON FOOTPRINT INCREASES COUNCIL’S BOTTOM LINEMoving towards a greener future, theShire of Waroona have opted to installa 20kW solar system to decreasetheir carbon footprint and reduceenergy consumption at theAdministration Centre in Waroona.The Waroona Shire Office consumes55,261Wk of energy annually, costingaround $20,660 per year with currentenergy provider Synergy. In order toreduce overall expenditure in thisspace, investigations were carried outto generate cost savings through theinstallation of solar panels. Following

consultation with a number of leadsolar installation companies, it wasdetermined that a 20KW solarphotovoltaic system installed at theShire Administration Centre wouldresult in a saving of $9,212 in theinitial year, with savings expected toincrease exponentially. “Investing intosustainability towards a greener futureis a win - win for Council” WaroonaShire President Cr Mike Walmsleysaid. “We have a corporateresponsibility to create a brighter,better and greener future for the next

generation and using solar panels toharness energy from the sun is agreat way to make the switch to greenenergy”. The Shire has selected a fiveyear lease option allowing thepurchase of the asset, without havingto outlay excess cash. With no upfrontcosts and a five year lease, the Shirewill pay less annually than what itcurrently outlays for electricity. TheShire expects to install the solarpanels at the Administration Centre inthe coming weeks.

COUNCIL SUPPORTS A MENTALLY HEALTHY COMMUNITYWith mental health concernsimpacting one in five people in thecommunity at any given time,Waroona Council voted unanimouslyat its July meeting to support adedicated mental health reflectionspace to be located along the ‘NoisyScrub Bird’ walk trail at WaroonaWeir. The concept for a dedicatedspace was proposed by Dusty RoadsWA, a not-for-profit Mental Healthfocused organisation based on themain street of Waroona. Theorganisation is passionate abouthelping people through their mentalhealth journey offering a range ofservices from peer to peer support

groups, coping workshops andemergency relief for those strugglingfinancially. Founding member ofDusty Roads WA, Bronwyn North said“the approved location of thereflection space is ideal beingimmersed in blue and green space,which have proven healing effects onmental well-being. The space willinclude a bench overlooking thewater, a native rockery garden and asmall rural fence to hang messages ofhope, encouragement andremembrance.” Shire President CrMike Walmsley said that “Keepingmentally healthy is just as importantas keeping physically healthy,

particularly in rural communities suchas Waroona where additional barriersare in place to accessing services andsupports. Unlike physical health whichhas visible indicators, mental healthcan often creep up on people withlittle to no sign”. Dusty Roads WA,with support from the Shire and widercommunity, will create the MentalHealth Reflection Space as part ofMental Health Week (10-17 October)initiatives 2020. The project alignswith Dusty Roads objectives to raiseawareness and improve access tomental health programs and supportfor people living in rural and remotecommunities across WA.

There’s a lot to like aboutdemonstrator vehicles – they’repractically new cars with very fewkilometres that sell for cheaper pricesthan you’d otherwise pay for agenuine new motor. Another bonus isthat clock only starts ticking on thetime aspect of the manufacturer’swarranty (e.g. 5-years) on the date ofpurchase by a consumer and notwhile it’s in the dealership’spossession. Conversely, the distanceaspect of the warranty (e.g.100,000km) will be less the kilometresalready travelled when the new ownertakes possession. We were recentlyconcerned to learn of a consumerwho purchased what they presumedto be a demo car, but was instead toldby the dealership it was ‘dealer pre-owned’ meaning the warranty hadstarted two years earlier on the date itrolled off the production line. This

Be in the know about demosrang alarm-bells with our AutomotiveBranch because according to theMotor Vehicles Act, a ‘dealer pre-owned’ vehicle is not a legallyrecognised term. Under thelegislation, a motor vehicle can onlybe considered ‘new’, ‘second-hand’ oras a ‘demonstrator’, meaning theambiguous phrase ‘dealer-owned’ isnothing more than industry jargon thatwe believe causes confusion. Ourinvestigation resulted in the dealerconfirming our position that thevehicle was in fact a demo vehiclewith a 5-year manufacturer’s warrantythat should have instead started onthe purchase-date. In addition tomanufacturer warranties, consumersare entitled to certain guaranteesunder Australian Consumer Law(ACL), including that the vehicle issafe, fault-free and matches the

description outlined by the dealer. Forexample, a car’s airbags should workand if metallic white is the description,a different non-metallic colour carshould not be supplied. These ACLrights may in turn mean that anyextended warranty offered could beunnecessary, as it could result in aconsumer paying extra for a repair orreplacement they are legally entitledto for free. Always ask – ‘what doesthe extended warranty get me that Iwould not already be entitled to underthe Australian Consumer Law?’Consumers should know that theydon’t have to deal with themanufacturer directly when a productis faulty – a retailer should do this onthe consumer’s behalf.

Sea container investments not so water-tightIf you’ve seen an advert promising bigreturns on an investment in shippingcontainers, then our advice is toconsider whether it may be a scam orPonzi scheme. WA ScamNet is awareof $800,000 of losses in WesternAustralia so far to a venture calledPacific Tycoon, which advertisesinvestments in shipping containers andpromises returns of up to 20 per centwhen they lease it out on your behalf.The scheme is predicted to besuccessful because cargo shipmentcompanies regularly have urgentrequirements for extra containers andwill pay premium prices. While victimsclaim they initially do receive dividends,this slowly reduces significantly. PacificTycoon continues to encourage furtherinvestment before eventually stopping

all communication. Despite us issuingan earlier warning about this venture,victims are still reporting large lossesand are unable to contact the companynor take legal action to recover thefunds. All indications point to PacificTycoon being a Ponzi scheme – a formof fraud involving a non-existentbusiness that continues before initialinvestors are given dividends using thestart-up money paid by those who jointhe bogus scheme later on.When considering all investment‘opportunities’, ask yourself:- Is the business registered with theAustralian Securities InvestmentCommissioner (ASIC)?- How long has the company beenaround?

- Have you spoken to a financial adviserabout the proposal?-Can you speak to clients who havemade money using this method?-If you were to lose money investing inthis scheme, can you afford that?Be aware that if an investment schemeturns out to be a web-based fraud byoverseas criminals, authorities inAustralia may not have the resources,appropriate international powers or lawenforcement connections to find thoseresponsible or trace your money.For further information about this scam,visit: www.scamnet.wa.gov.au andsearch ‘sea container investmentschemes’. If you have lost money in thisway, please report it to WA ScamNeton 1300 30 40 54 [email protected]

Should you buy-now, pay-later?The way we shop may have changedforever following the Covidf-19coronavirus pandemic.Life in lockdown meant cashtransactions plummeted in favour of anumber of contactless paymentmethods, including buy-now, pay-laterschemes. Often described as the‘modern-day lay-by’, buy-now, pay-laterarrangements allow you to receivegoods and then pay off the amount ininstalments further down the track.Unlike lay-by, the item is available toyou straight away. At the height of thepandemic, prominent buy-now, paylater business Afterpay picked-up 1million new users and recorded its bestever quarter to June with $2 billionspent on buying goods and services.While Afterpay is the most dominantforce in the market, its rivals include agrowing number of similar platformssuch as zipPay, BrightePay, Payrightand Openpay. Even though you canbuy-now, pay-later – is it a good idea?The key advice is to check the terms

and conditions before you sign up toany scheme. They are often promotedas “interest-free” but late fees, account-keeping fees or payment processingfees may apply. For example, while youmay make a purchase for $100, onelate payment could cost you up to afurther $17 plus any potential bank feefor a payment default.A review by the Australian Securitiesand Investment Commission (ASIC) in2018 found that one in six buy-now,pay-later users had becomeoverdrawn, delayed bill payments orborrowed additional money. Mostconsumers reported that the optionallowed them to buy more expensiveitems and generally spend more thanthey normally would. Check outwww.moneysmart.gov.au for tips onstaying in control when you use abuy-now, pay-later service, including:

�� Plan ahead to ensure therepayments fit into your budgetand other financialcommitments.

�� Link your buy-now-pay-lateraccount to your debit cardinstead of your credit card –that way you are using yourown money and will avoid extradebts or interest.

�� Don’t over-commit – stick to alimit and only have one buy-now, pay-later at a time.

�� Contact your provider straightaway if you’re having troublemaking repayments.

Woolly weather, woolly bears!It seems to be the winter of the fluffycaterpillars, with reports of thesewoolly moth larvae coming in thickand fast. The affectionate name‘woolly bear’ is applied to severalcommon and widespread, nativespecies. Let’s meet two of them.

Pictured above is Anthela canescens,also known as the Western Anthelid,

Family: Anthelidae. The caterpillarquite striking, with reddy-brown andblack hairs mixed in with whitetufted hairs. Rarely pesty, theyusually feed on various Eucalyptusor Corymbia species and seek outwell-protected places such as underbark or amongst firewood to pupate.Adults are drab coloured largemoths which are clumsy flyers andare attracted to light.

Pictured below are the caterpillar andadult of the black and white tigermoth, Ardices glatignyi, Family:Arctiidae. The caterpillar’s colourationcan be highly variable. Sadly, this oneis a pest.The caterpillar will munch its waythrough native plants, vegetables,

herbs, rosemary, nasturtiums – justabout anything green. Birds don’ttend to eat these due to their hairybodies, so if they are causing toomuch damage to tolerate, control byhand orselect aproductsuitableforcaterpillars. The

The Power of the BlessingThere is ‘power in the blessing of ‘the Father’s love.’

This month wecelebrate ‘FathersDay,’ a special day

set aside each yearto honour our dadsfor their part increating us, for

caring and providing for us andteaching us skills that enable us,when we are adults, to contribute tothe well-being of our own families,communities and Nation.‘Fathers’ Day’ can also be a sad timefor those who have lost their dads,had difficult dads or those who, forwhatever reason, have not had afather for some, or maybe all, of theirlives. Our heavenly FATHERpromises HE is ‘a father of thefatherless,’ (Psalms 68:5).Some of our earthly fathers might nothave been perfect but we all have aFATHER in heaven who is ‘the’perfect father. HE cares about us,knows everything about us,understands us and loves us - andthat is worth celebrating!In Luke 15:11-32, JESUS tells thestory of a loving father and hiswayward son, to a crowd of peoplegathered around HIM, consisting ofbelievers, unbelievers, religious criticsand tax collectors who were despisedand regarded as sinners.The story is known as ‘The Parable ofthe Prodigal (lost or wayward) Son’but it’s really more about a father’slove and could just as easily becalled, ‘The Parable of the Father’slove.’The story in a nutshell - a father hastwo sons. The younger demands hisinheritance to go off to live life as hepleases. [In Middle Eastern culture itwas greatly offensive for a son to askfor his inheritance while his father wasstill alive. It’s like saying; “I wish you

sight, and am no more worthy to becalled your son...’ but the father cutshim short, ordering his servants tobring his best robe to clothe his son, aring for his finger and sandals for hisfeet. Also, to kill a fattened calf andprepare a great celebratory feast,saying; “For this beloved son ofmine was once dead, but now he’salive again. Once he was lost, butnow he is found” (Luke 15:24 TPT).[The robe was likely the father’sfestival robe, usually reserved forspecial events. The ring signified theson had authority to transact businessin his father’s name. Only servantswent barefooted, so the sandals alsosignified sonship].

JESUS wants us to understand theFATHER’S love – how HIS heartbreaks for the ‘lost’ and how HErejoices when we are ‘found.’ GOD isrich in mercy [and grace] and hasgreat love for us (Ephesians 2:4).When the son remembered hisfather’s goodness in treating hisservants well, it caused him to changehis ways (repent) and return home.The Bible says in Romans 2:4 ‘It isthe goodness of GOD that leads usto repentance.’There is power in the blessing of ‘theFATHER’s love’ – power to changelives; power foreveryone to be sonsand daughters of‘the’ most perfectFATHER - for alleternity!And that’ssomething tocelebrate!Be blessed to be ablessing, Cheryl.

were dead so I could have myinheritance!”].The heartbroken father reluctantlydivides his assets between his twosons. (According to Jewish law, theeldest son gets a double portion). Theyounger converts everything to cashand sets off for a distant countrywhere he very quickly squanders hisinheritance on wild living. Severefamine comes upon the country andthe son, in serious trouble, withoutmoney or food, is forced to begemployment from a pig farmer.(Feeding pigs was degrading work fora Jewish man as his religion forbadehim to eat or farm swine).His hunger becomes so great he’seven willing to eat the slops he feedsto the pigs. Then, remembering hisfather’s goodness and how well helooks after his servants, the sondecides to swallow his pride andreturn home to ask his father forforgiveness and to be hired as aservant.Dressed like a beggar and stinking ofpigs, the son journeys home. Whenhe’s still a long way off, (stillrehearsing what he’ll say!), his fathersees him and great compassion fillshis heart. Gathering his robe, thefather races in an undignified mannerto welcome his son with tears of joy,hugs, kisses and tender love –despite the stench of pigs and thedisapproval of the accompanyingreligious Jews! [Under Jewish law, theson brought shame on his father andvillage so deserved death by stoning.But, embraced in his father’s arms,the angry crowd first had to stone thefather, so the son’s life was saved!).The son tries to deliver his rehearsedapology, saying ‘Father, I havesinned against heaven and in your

Football Commentary by Ken LandwehrIt is like agame ofchessbehind thescenes at

the WA Football Commission with topbrass making an exit from theCommission. Senior executivesSimon Moore-Crouch and Anna Lanehead a group of about a dozen seniorstaff who will depart from the WAFCas part of the organisation’srestructure.Moore-Crouch, the head of talent andcommercial is the WAFC’s secondhighest paid staffer after ChiefExecutive Gavin Taylor. Anna Lane isthe Corporate Services Manager.Their departures come as the WAFCis revamped into four separatestreams from the current six.The new separate streams willbe Football, Commercial,Community and Country aspromised by chairman Wayne Martinto make the WAFC as lean andefficient as possible withoutcompromising footy in WA. About 40staff will be made redundant or havetheir salaries slashed as part of the

Commissioners for a decision. I find itrather ludicrous that Commissionersspend 5 months after a season iscompleted, chasing peanuts with thePeel salary cap breach, whenlopsided staff wages expenditure,worth millions, left very little to benefitthe people who the grant wasoriginally received for. Lookingforward to a few answers in the nextfew months as a former footballadministrator with four decades ofservice including involvement in theCentral Wheatbelt Football League,Exmouth Football, Murray DistrictsFootball League and lastly the PeelFootball League. Waroona is myhome town and they deserve financialassistance from the governing bodyand also Juniors as much as anyoneat the grass roots level andaccountability should always beprevalent in any sound footballstructure.

restructure. The restructure comesafter the salary leak which revealedthat the WAFC had more than 130employees receiving more than $12million in salaries. Chairman Martinexplained that the restructure was dueto the impact of Covid-19 rather thanthe leak. I pose the question whichmay never be answered ”Whathappened to the whistle blower andhow much will grassroots football bebetter off financially in the newstructure”? Both Martin and Taylor willappear before State Parliament’spublic accounts committee when theywill be quizzed on How the WAFCuses the $11 MILLION ANNUALPAYMENT PROVIDED tocompensate FOOTBALL FOR THESHIFT TO OPTUS STADIUM.Another side show, is the WAFC isalso about to take action over Peel’sreceipt salary cap breach. A fivemonth investigation into theunauthorised $5000 payment to aThunder player was completed lastmonth while Peel have responded tothe WAFC’s finding in the matter. Itwill now go before the WA

Chookyard Hotel has had a completemakeover in the last week and is setto receive “Taj Mahal” Number 2Edition Chook Shed delivered fromByford which is a real bonus.We engaged a local dingo operatorJeff who removed the top soil andreplaced it with clean yellow sand. Aconcrete floor was established slightlylarger than the chicken coopmeasurements to ensure 2020 styleis totally fox proof. The removed soilstockpile is full of chicken manure andwill be an excellent tonic for all thefruit trees in Wally’s Orchard.It is 8 years since we first set up achookyard and numerous repairshave been undertaken during thattime.“Henry’s Yard and the main yard wereset up as one and we have replacedthe steel posts with treated copperpine logs set in rapid concrete, plusremoving the damaged chicken wire.I laugh now when a friend JohnKennington from Stakehill literallythrew over the fence two “NewHampshire” hens one of whom wasnicknamed “Wild Thing” due to itsnature whilst I was engaged at a localfootball match for Waroona Demonsat an away game..Pleased to report we broke the recordyesterday for egg production and thegirls laid 20 free range eggs.It was the Harvey Poultry Club auctionlast Sunday and since Covid-19,fertile eggs, poultry both male andfemale have gone ”through the roof”

Wally’s Orchard continues to thriveand this week picked the final twolime “Gold Nuggets which wereretailing for a record $1.90 each whichagain is a legacy of the Covid-19pandemic.Slices of lime are common practice ina Corona beer which is very popularand definitely quenches your thirst.This week I took delivery of two armcrutches courtesy of my daughterCaitlin and 777 Pharmacy Applecrossand it is just over 10 months since Islipped over in the Chookyard onFriday lunchtime before WaroonaShow and again a public thank you toGary and Robyn Sutton for lendingme a pair of stable legs during thattime.Hopefully in the near future I cansecure a right knee replacementoperation to enable myself to beindependent in Chookyard Hotelduties.We had not committed showing anybirds at Waroona Show at this stageand the whole Waroona Show isunder review at the monthly WaroonaAgricultural Society meeting thisThursday after the Premier revokedhis original ruling on conducting theRoyal Show in 2020 for Health andSafety priority reasons on Tuesday.Continue to stay safe healthy andrespectful to each other during thisextremely difficult “Pandemic LivingEnvironment and show the rest ofAustralia why Western Australia is thebest place to live.You can even enjoy some relaxingtime in Chookyard Hotel whencollecting your free range fresh eggswith yellow yokes.Goodbye for nowChookyard Farmer Ken.

with self sufficiency on everyone’smind.A lady purchased just 5 Araucanaeggs for $22 from myself and whenshe got home the family pet, a dogthought the blue/green eggs were justdelightful. Consequently she touchedbase with “Chookyard Hotel” topurchase a carton of pure Araucanaand 1.5 dozen of Easter Eggs whichall have the dominant blue/greencolouring factor.Another lady purchased a 5 month oldBelgium Duccle Bantam cockerel fromourselves with the last bid of $30when they are normally just $5 or $10.One patron put in a winning bid of$100 for a white silky pullet not evenclose to point of lay and the seller wasover the moon with such a high price.Another item sold by Chookyard Hotelwas a brooder cage which was soldfor $45 with the reserve set at $25.Certainly have had a real spring cleanat Number 26 with a large skip bin formetal-only items and another forgeneral rubbish items.Burning off some unwanted wooditems and the dust and coals willprovide the chooks some quality dustbaths which they always enjoy.Chookyard Hotel improvements havebeen a real family affair with mydaughter Caitlin and her partnerMichael, both heavily involved inoperational improvements andensuring positive outcomes areachieved. The chooks may be a littleconfused at bed time with noboundary fences until the weekendand may require “softly/softly”treatment with the plastic garden raketo guide them to the correct house forthe night shift.

SKIN

Dry Skin and Eczema

Dry itchy skin is more common duringthe winter months. This is mostlybecause the humidity drops and wetend to spend more time in a nicewarm shower which only further driesout our skin.You are probably already aware thatour skin is our largest organ and itprovides some important functions:�� Regulates body temperature.�� Prevents loss of essentialbody fluids, and penetrationof toxic substances.�� Protection of the body fromharmful effects of the sun andradiation.�� Excretes toxic substanceswith sweat.So it is very important to do our bestto look after and protect our skin.Eczema (or atopic dermatitis as it isformally known) is more common thanmany people realise and it isestimated that one in threeAustralians will suffer from it to somedegree during their lives.The condition is most common inpeople with a family history of anatopic disorder, including asthma orhay fever.The condition can affect people of allages but usually appears in earlychildhood (in babies between two-to-six months of age) and disappearswhen the child is about six years old.More than 50% of eczema sufferersshow signs of the condition withintheir first 12 months of life and 20% ofpeople develop eczema before theyare five.The good news is that most childrenoutgrow the condition, but a smallpercentage may experience severeeczema into adulthood. The conditioncan affect the individual sufferer, aswell as their family and friends.The skin in people who suffer fromeczema is different from those peoplewho do not have eczema. In peoplewith eczema the skin barrier does notwork meaning it has less water-retaining properties, causing it to dryout easily.There are many things you can do tohelp avoid an eczema outbreak andwe can provide advice about this.

worsen and the skin can becomeincreasingly red and itchy. Duringthese episodes a doctor mayprescribe a topical steroid cream. It isimportant to treat flares quickly andwith sufficient topical steroid. Peopleare often afraid to use topical steroidsand don’t use enough and thereforeend up needing to treat the flare formuch longer. There is little evidencethat these tropical treatments will thinthe skin when used as prescribed.This does not mean more is better,but using the correct amount willcontrol the flare quicker and preventpotential scarring. Our pharmacists instore can help you with determiningthe correct amount to use.

Lastly we can achieve favourableresults with certain dietarysupplements. Omega acids containedin fish oil and evening primrose oilhave a role in structural integrity andbarrier function of the skin. These oilsdo also have some anti-oxidantproperties and can make your skinlook smoother and younger!

Certain probiotics may also helpallergy prone skin. These areparticularly useful in treating children.

Some of the steps you can takeinclude:�� Skin should be kept moist byusing a daily moisturiser�� Avoid rough, scratchy fibres andtight clothing�� Use rubber gloves with cottonliners�� Have lukewarm baths andshowers�� Use a non-soap cleanser orhypoallergenic bath oil�� Gently pat skin dry with a softtowel�� Apply a moisturiser within threeminutes of a bath or shower to “trap”the moisture in the skin�� Avoid rapid changes oftemperature�� Avoid activities that raise a sweat�� Reduce daily stress

Using correct wash and moisturisersis a very simple and effective meansto avoid dry and itchy skin. It isimportant to choose a soap freecleanser that is pH balanced andfragrance free. The problem with soapis that it is very alkaline (higher thanskins usual pH of 7.4) and this has adisruptive effect on the upper layer ofthe skin. They can strip away thenatural oils that lubricate skin andcause it to dry out.

If you suffer from dry skin and areusing soap, think Palmolive, ImperialLeather or Dove, get up right now, goto the bathroom and throw it in thebin!!

Similarly there are many moisturiserson the market. Some much betterthan others in treating dry sensitiveskin. It can be quite confusing with somany on the market.
