PREMIER Colin Barnett said his party did not support funding a Great Southern Motorplex because better

mountain-biking facilities would attract more international tourists.

This was a key point of difference between Liberals’ and Nationals’ election promises for Albany.

Without mentioning trails at Mt Adelaide and Mt Clarence, Mr Barnett said a re-elected Liberal-National government would establish 45km of trails around the Porongu-rups and upgrade trails at Bald Head.

“The mountain bikes will be far more signifi cant for Albany than the motorplex,” Mr Barnett said.

“The mountain bikes will attract people from around the world without any doubt at all.”

He said there were millions of cycling en-thusiasts in cities such as Jakarta, Singapore and Beijing who would fl ock to Albany if it were properly promoted as a mountain biking destination.

“In Tasmania the biggest growth in their tourism has been the people from all around the world wanting to do mountain-bike rid-ing,” he said.

“And Albany’s the place where we can match that.”

He said it was important to “brand” each region as a tourist destination and Albany’s cool climate, natural beauty and clear vistas lent itself to hiking and mountain-biking.

Mr Barnett said this would also depend on luxury hotels being built at Middleton Beach and Albany’s waterfront precinct.

Liberals’ candidate for Albany said the proposed motorplex at Down Road in Drome would appeal to a “certain demographic” but the business case presented to Council was “not viable”.

He also said he had been advised it would be diffi cult for a developer to gain approval

from the Department of Water as the site was located on a Priority 2 catchment area.

“So there’s no ‘gimme’ and there is no other clearly identifi ed site in the Albany area,” Mr Stocks said.

“That’s a grab at a demographic for votes.”He said he supported the “concept of

motorplex” and thought it was important to establish “Stage 1” which was a motocross track.

“We can do that up at Palmdale Road with some City land that we’ve identifi ed,” he said.

“It’s a little too far out of town but the city has an identifi ed place where they can go so I do understand the need to provide a facility for those kids.”

He said the rest of the Motorplex plan was “a bit of a pipe dream”.

“After the things we’ve announced that we think are important there’s just not enough money around to keep throwing cash at it,” he said.

“My job if I’m elected is to go in and fi ght for those things that I think are really impor-tant when the money becomes available.”

Nationals’ candidate Robbie Sutton said further investment in the Trails Network for Albany following our his party’s announce-ment of $3.3mil for the Albany Heritage Trails Network was welcome.

“This will ensure Albany is at the forefront of trails development and tourism and will drive future investment and prosperity in the region.”

Greens candidates Diane Evers and David Rastrick were more sceptical.

Ms Evers, who is standing for an upper house seat, said these were “just promises”.

“Before the work can start Liberals would have to form government, very likely sell Western Power to fund the promise, and then agree to spend the money on the promise,” she said.

SURVIVING prisoner-of-war Harold Martin laid a wreath at the Albany Cenotaph yesterday in memory of

his friends who died constructing the infamous Burma to Thailand Railway in World War II. His friend Iris Thomas said Mr Martin was

one of the few survivors and travelled to “Hellfi re Pass” every year to commemo-rate Anzac Day.“He fought as a soldier and was captured

by the Japanese in the Fall of Singapore in 1942 and sent to build the Burma Thai Railway,” she said. “He spent two years in POW camps build-

ing the ‘Death Railway’ along with 60,000

other Allied soldiers, of which more than 12,000 died.”

Ms Thomas said he was later selected to be sent to Japan to work in the coal mines.

“He was placed onto a Japanese trans-port which was subsequently attacked by Allied submarines,” she said.

“He survived the torpedo attack and ended up in the South China Sea, clinging to a makeshift craft for four days before the USS Pampanito submarine found him, along with 72 other POW survivors.”

Every year on the anniversary of the Fall of Singapore Mr Martin lays a wreath in memory of those who did not survive.

PREMIER Colin Bar-nett said anglers in small boats could benefi t from safer and more successful fi shing from an artifi cial fi shing reef two or three kilometres from the Al-bany coast.

He told The Weekender a re-elected government would spend $1million on the reef on the sea fl oor west of Breaksea or Michealmas Islands.

“These structures have been built in Dunsbor-ough, Bunbury, Mandu-rah, Rottnest and so the next three are Albany, Karratha and Carnarvon,” he said.

“And the evidence has been really good that they are not only good for fi sh-ing but they also replenish fi sh stocks.”

He made it clear that this was not to be a surf-ing reef.

“The fishing reefs are special designs, sort of concrete hollow for trapezoid-type structures spread out over an area about twice the size of the MCG which creates a big fl at area,” he said.

“It also redirects the wa-ter so an upward flow which apparently brings nutrients in ... so it af-

Liberals candidate for Albany Greg Stocks, Premier Colin Barnett, RecFishWest representative Andrew Jarvis and Albany Rods and Tackle owner Jim Allen at Emu Point.

Fishing reef on agendafects the fl ow of water and therefore the fi sh tend to congregate around.

“And of course, seaweed and growth builds up and so they feed and congre-gate and so it helps breed-ing and gives some safe fi shing close in.”

Mr Barnettsaid the devel-opment would help attract tourists.

“I think we just picked locations where fishing is popular,” he said. “So we’re wanting to encour-age recreational fishing but also make sure that we don’t see the depletion of species.”

He said his government introduced recreational fi shing licences seven or eight years ago to prevent over-fi shing.

“I’ve got to say recrea-tional fi shermen have been incredibly responsible,” he said.

“Gone are the days of fi lling up the freezer with fish – people catch and relea se and just take home what they need for a meal.

“You should always be able to go out and catch a fi sh.”

He said he was not overly concerned about an ar-tifi cial structure altering ocean currents and caus-ing erosion.

“This thing sits on the

bottom of the ocean. It’s not a major earthworks and it’s not right on the coast. It’s off the islands and off the beach,” he said.

“But certainly looking at currents would be one part of it because you’d want an ideal environment for fi sh to multiply.

“I wouldn’t see that as having that scale of effect here – it would be looked at carefully.”

He said the City of Alba-ny and recreational fi shing clubs would be consulted when choosing the best location.

Regional roads are state’s worstGREAT Southern roads feature prominently in the RAC’s annual Risky Roads survey.

Albany Highway between Al-bany and Bannister has the dubi-ous honour of being the state’s riskiest regional road and is also number two in the statewide top 10 Risky Roads.

The RAC says this is because it lacks overtaking opportunities; has rough, slippery or loose sur-faces; tight curves or blind crests; and narrow road lanes or bridges.

South Coast Highway between Cheynes and Jerdacuttup is number 7 on the top 10 regional Risky Roads and number 10 in the statewide top Risky Roads.

The survey says it has rough,

slippery or loose surfaces; crum-bling road edges; and lacks over-taking opportunities.

Number nine on the regional Risky Roads is South Western Highway between Walpole and Manjimup.

This stretch of road has crum-bling road edges; narrow road, lanes or bridges; lacks overtak-ing opportunities; and poor road marking or no edge lines.

Denmark – Mount Barker Road is number 10 on the regional Risky Roads list.

Assessors said it had crumbling road edges; narrow road, lanes or bridges; and tight curves or blind crests.

Two Albany Highway intersec-tions within Albany shared the number 2 spot in the top 10 risky intersections list.

The cluster included the Albany Highway/South Coast Highway crossing; and the big roundabout nearby at the junction of Albany Highway, Chester Pass Road, Hanrahan Road and North Road.

These were criticised for having confusing road or intersection layout, inadequate crossing or turning opportunities and “inad-equate traffi c light system”.

They also rated number six in State Wide Top 10 Risky Inter-sections.

The RAC released the results yesterday after asking the com-

munity to identify the State’s most dangerous regional roads.

RAC General Manager Corpo-rate Affairs, Will Golsby, said the survey across regional and metropolitan WA received more than 6,000 nominations.

“There is over 187,000 kilome-tres of road in Western Australia and no one knows it better than the people who drive, ride, cycle or walk on it every day,” Mr Golsby said.

“The latest Risky Roads results have highlighted the urgent need for all major parties to commit to addressing the community’s concerns by increasing road funding ahead of the March 11 State Election.”

From page 1“It would be interesting to see how

these projects were singled out over others – and, would it really take half a million dollars to upgrade the walk to Bald Head?

“For a state that is moving toward $40 billion in debt, I’d like to think there might be a less expensive plan.”

Greens Albany candidate David Ras-trick said The Greens intended to imple-ment the “Greens Bike Vision 2029”.

He said this would provide new edu-cation programs and infrastructure that safely connected people to public trans-port, shopping centres and employment hubs by bike.

It would fund cycling infrastructure and programs at three per cent of the State Transport Budget.

“I aim to meet with the Albany Bicycle User Group soon to see how we can localise this,” Mr Rastrick said.

City of Albany CEO Andrew Sharpe said: “the City of Albany welcomes the Premier’s pledge of $3 million to

develop walk and mountain bike trails in the Great Southern if the Liberal Party is returned.”

“World-class trails will bring signifi -cant recreation, tourism and economic benefi ts to The Amazing South Coast and the Premier’s commitment to up-grade the Bald Head Walk would further enhance walking tourism in the region.

“His promise to build Mountain Bike Trails in the Porongurups would com-plement the trails network concept the City is working on in Albany Heritage Park and enhance the region’s ability to leverage increased mountain-biking tourism.”

He said mountain biking was one of the world’s fastest growing recreational, sport and tourism activities.

“WA is following this global trend, and the Albany region has been identifi ed as one of the places that presents a unique opportunity to become a world-famous mountain-biking destination.”

Peter Watson MLA has been contacted for comment.

Hordern MonumentTHE Hordern Monument is one of Albany’s most recognisable features and is located at the junc-tion of York Street and Albany Highway. It was originally erected further down the main

street, at the junction of Middleton Road, and there was an outcry of alarm when the council decided to move it a few yards to improve the traffi c fl ow at the intersection.The world didn’t stop spinning, and everyone

soon got used to its current position. The Hordern Monument was named after An-

thony Hordern, an entrepreneur who fl oated the WA Land Company in London. The company built the Great Southern Railway

in return for grants of land, including huge areas for rural development and sale. The monument was unveiled on July 2, 1890 in

an impressive ceremony by Administrator of the Government Malcolm Fraser.The obelisk was then unveiled and the band

played the National Anthem. Hordern died at sea on passage from the UK to

Albany in 1886 on the mail ship Carthage before the scheme came into fruition. The railway, which opened in 1889, was a suc-

cess but only 250 blocks were sold. The remain-ing land and the line were sold to the government in 1896.

DAMAGE from the worst fl oods in living memory is still being assessed as some shires in the Great Southern count the cost of receiving nearly 300mm of rain in two days over the weekend.

The Shire of Raven-sthorpe had been one of the hardest hit and had only just regained road access from Albany and Esperance on Tuesday night.

Shire CEO Ian Fitzger-ald said south eastern parts of the shire were still inaccessible and nearly 40 campers remained stranded at Mason Bay, east of Hopetoun.

The campers were in good spirits and were being re-supplied with food and water while they waited for fl ood waters to recede.

He said the shire was working together with volunteers and locals to

The weekend fl oods were“worst in living memory”

get the necessities back on line. The Raventhorpe IGA had received its fi rst supply on Tuesday since the rain event.

Mr Fitzgerald and Shire president Keith Dunlop had earlier welcomed the disaster declaration, but critisised Premier Colin Barnett for by-passing their shire on return to Perth from Albany on Monday.

“The community is very disappointed Pre-mier Barnett, who was in Albany on Sunday and Monday, could not make the time to come and see fi rst-hand the devastation we have suffered,” Mr Dunlop said.

Shire of Gnowangerup CEO Shelley Pike said the fl oods were the worst in living memory.

With many parts of the shire still inaccessible, Ms Pike said they were unable to get a complete picture of the damage, but estimated to be in the vicinity of $5 million.

Borden Golf Club had been completely washed out and there were reports the CBH terminal had been completely inun-dated.

Ms Pike said the com-munity was holding up well despite the trying circumstances.

“There’s great commu-

nity spirit. Everyone is working together.” she said.

Ms Pike also expressed frustration at conditions on the Western Australia Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrange-ments (WANDRRA) that meant shires could not undertake any work and had to use contractors.

“You can imagine that with the extent of the damage, there just aren’t enough contractors to go around,” she said.

Mr Fitzgerald said the fl oods were devastating for farmers who would have been thinking about seeding.

“It’s going to be a major nightmare for our farm-ers,” he said.

“There’s hundreds of kilometres of fencing down. Getting around on their own farms is going to be diffi cult.

“Rebuilding is going to be a long, slow pro-cess. They’re suffering. They’re doing it tough.”

Albany largely escaped any damage and received 20.6mm on Friday, tak-ing the monthly total to 42.4mm, well above the long-term average of 22.6mm.

The fl oods claimed the lives of a 68-year-old man and a 74-year-old man.

A FORTY four year-old Centennial Park man has been remanded in custody after appearing in the Albany Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with two counts of wilfully lighting a fi re likely to injure or damage. John Barry Forsey was arrested and charged

on Monday following an investigation into a number of bushfi res along Albany Highway between Dwellingup and Kojonup on Wednes-day, February 8. The fi res were spotted between 12.30pm and

4.15pm, with the fi rst fi re near Dwellingup, and the last fi re near Kojonup.Several police vehicles from the Great South-

ern district were deployed and a vehicle of interest was identifi ed. Following further investigation the driver of

the vehicle was subsequently arrested and refused bail.Mr Forsey is due to reappear in the Albany

Magistrates Court on February 21.

WA PREMIER Colin Barnett dangled a $20 million carrot in front of the Albany electorate on Monday with a pledge to upgrade the region’s two major public high schools.

Mr Barnett said there were only two conditions: the Liberal Party needed to be re-elected and they had to get the sale of 51 per cent of Western Power across the line.

If successful, both Al-bany Senior High School and North Albany Senior High School would re-ceive $10 million each.

The funding is part of the Liberal Party’s $560 million program to bring 70 of the State’s ageing schools up to scratch.

The $20m promise is

the single biggest pledge for Albany so far in the election campaign.

Mr Barnett said the proposed sale of half of Western Power provided a once-in-a-generation opportunity to provide funding for the work.

“Out of the sale of half of Western Power, all of those 70 schools includ-ing these two (ASHS and NASHS) comes forward,” he said.

“Unless something is sold, it would take 20 years to refurbish those 70 schools.

“This way, we probably would have it done in four years.”

The last major upgrade to ASHS and NASHS took place when Mr Bar-

nett was the education minister in the Court Government during the late 1990s.

Liberal candidate Greg Stocks said it was an im-portant announcement for Albany and one of the is-sues affecting Albany that he had followed closely.

“I have no doubt both schools are at breaking point,” he said.

“These are desperately needed facilities.

“It future-proofs us. The schools will welcome it and so should the com-munity.”

ASHS’ acting chairman and architect, Michael Roberts has been closely involved in the initial planning to utilise the funding.

LABOR party members and sup-porters gathered on Sunday to help Peter Watson MLA offi cially launch his election campaign.

Former minister and Federal MP Alannah MacTiernan pro-vided the venue at her Albany house and used the opportunity to attack the “short sighted” Barnett Government.

“Barnett doesn’t have a ‘plan B’ for Western Australia,” she said.

“While mining is the (eco-nomic) backbone we all know the mining boom is over and he doesn’t.

“And to pay for it all he wants to sell Western Power.”

She said there was no advantage

to customers in selling a govern-ment monopoly.

“The big advantage in privatisa-tion is competition, companies competing to provide better ser-vices and better prices,” she said.

“If a monopoly is sold it will only benefi t a few shareholders.”

She also spoke about reviving plans to make Albany a renew-able energy hub which she said would create “hundreds of jobs”.

She said it was important to achieve this by helping Peter Watson retain his seat and Labor to form a government.

About 50 people were present and stayed for a light lunch.

Labor launches campaignLabor’s Peter Watson was well supported at his campaign launch last Sunday.

Alannah MacTiernan and Peter Watson MLA addressed Labor supporters.

He said the priority would be to upgrade the youth centre into a pur-pose-built performing arts space.

Plans for new teaching blocks including marine science were also afoot.

Denmark Senior High School and Mount Bark-er Community College in the seat of Warren-Blackwood were also ear-marked for funds under the program.

GRADUATING from the home offi ce to a dedicated work premises can be a daunting move for small business owners.

Sharing costs in a shared space is often the only solution to stepping up and growing a business.

Graphic designers Tim Waters and Alex Gott-Cumbers along with pho-tographer Will Marwick have been through the process recently.

They have leased a hum-ble industrial unit and have created a productive workplace where they can hopefully take their individual businesses to the next level.

After working success-fully in collaborative workspaces in Perth and Melbourne previously, Mr Waters began look-ing for a similar space in Albany, as he outgrew his home offi ce, but drew a blank.

He welcomed the an-nouncement of plans for a $340,000 innovation hub for Albany despite setting up his own shared space ahead of the game.

“Every time I’ve worked in a shared space it’s been great,” he said.

“You can work collabo-ratively on projects and bounce ideas off each other.”

Alannah MacTiernan, Alex Gott-Cumbers, Tim Waters, AlbPeter Watson and Creative Albany’s Jon Doust talk collaboration and innovation.

Senior Labor figure Alannah MacTiernen and Albany MLA Peter Watson visited their work space this week to make the announcement.

Ms MacTiernan said it was part of Labor’s plan to diversify the economy and create jobs of the 21st Century.

The project would ride on the back of the de-livery of the National Broadband Network to Albany, as it is ideally suited to creative service providers relying on digi-

Space for innovators

MOUNTAIN-BIKE riders, runners and walkers in Albany have been asked to vote for the Nationals after WA leader Brendon Grylls prom-ised $3.3million to construct and upgrade trails around Mt Adelaide and Mt Clarence.

Mr Grylls said he made the com-mitment after Albany candidate Robbie Sutton told him of the City’s plans to make Heritage Park a trails hub.

Mr Grylls said he was a keen run-ner and mountain bike rider.

“Each time I come down here I run through this beautiful part of Albany,” he said.

“When I saw the proposal en-dorsed by the council to upgrade the walking trails and the mountain-bike trails it looked like a very affordable proposal.”

He said it would enhance the “very strong natural advantage” of the

“beautiful outlook over the beauti-ful harbour”.

“Well done to the council for pri-oritising it,” Mr Grylls said.

“It’ll be used lots by locals who will love it.

“I’d also like to see more people decide to travel here because they know of the wonderful walking trails as well as the people who want to put their mountain bike in the cargo hold.”

“It provides exceptional lifestyle that is attractive to creatives.

“However, government needs to contribute to the ecosphere to kick-start the process.”

Under the plan, Labor would auspice the funds to local collaborative or-ganisation Creative Alba-ny and it would be based on a similar concept run-ning in Geraldton.

The hub would also of-fer training and mentor-ship for existing busi-nesses.

“Albany has an excep-tional base in creative industries that needs to be supported,” he said. “We need to make it an attractive place for crea-tive people to relocate,” Albany MLA Peter Wat-son said.

THE City of Albany is installing rooftop solar panels at the Operations Depot on Mercer Road to help reduce its carbon footprint.

A spokesperson said the 24kW system would be installed this month by Trojan Clean Energy and consisted of 88 panels.

“It is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 51.3 tonnes annually, which is the same as removing 15 cars from the road each year,” he said.

City Works and Services

executive director Mat-thew Thomson said the installation aligned with the City’s strategic ob-jective to become “clean, green and sustainable”.

“The panels will have signifi cant environmen-tal benefi ts and will re-duce energy consumption costs,” Mr Thomson said.

“It is estimated that the system will cover 60 per cent of the depot’s current consumption, with a pay-back period of 2.4 years.”

CEO Andrew Sharpe

said the City fi tted solar systems to its Albany North Road Office and Albany Regional Day Care in 2015 and 2016.

He said the invest-ment had paid off with the North Road office demonstrating a 20 per cent reduction in energy consumption over eight months equalling a saving of about $15,000.

“The Albany Day Care Centre has also shown a reduction of about 60 per cent,” Mr Thomson said.

A DENMARK councillor has responded to suggestions that a pri-vate bridge to her property had been upgraded at taxpayers’ expense.

Cr Jan Lewis said the bridge was not private but part of a gazetted shire road and also provided valu-able access to surrounding bush for fi refi ghters.

“Firefighting vehicles are now able to get to our property and the parts of the national park and state forest bordering our property be-cause the bridge has been replaced,” she said.

Shire CEO Bill Parker said the bridge was in “very poor condition” causing a two-tonne load restriction to be applied so it had been made a shire priority under the state-wide bridge replacement program.

Cr Lewis agreed that the old bridge only led to national park, state forest and her farm.

“My husband is an electrician – with a two tonne weight limit, every time he drove over he was taking a risk,” she said.

“If you run a farm you need ac-cess to vehicles that are in excess of two tonne.”

She said regular fl ooding had rot-ted the timbers over the years and Main Roads had also raised the bridge height when they replaced the bridge.

Mr Parker said Main Roads ad-ministered the Financial Assistance Grants process by which local government bridge funding was provided on a prioritisation basis.

“These funds are not Main Roads funds – the Federal Assistance Grants Scheme funds two thirds of the cost of these bridge projects and the state government funds the remaining one third,” he said.

“The Shire of Denmark advised that they are not in a position to deliver the works and, as such, Main Roads has arranged to deliver the works on behalf of the Shire of Denmark.”

He said Main Roads developed the prioritised bridge works pro-gram for local government across WA and submitted them to the WA Local Government Grants Commission for endorsement and recommendation to the Common-wealth Minister.

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

ALBANY’S home gardeners are invited to swap seeds, submit chutney for judging and try heritage apples no longer sold in shops.

Community garden volunteer Lorna Thompson said some of the varieties dated back to 1,500.

“They were apples that were around when Henry VIII was still on the go and they say that the old varieties are much more nutrient dense,” she said.

“Twenty modern apples are needed for the same nutritional content of one heritage apple. Part of that is because modern apples are picked green and under-ripe so that they store for 12 months.”

She said modern apples bought now were what was called “birthday apples”.

“They’ve been in a cold store for 12 months,” she said.

Ms Thompson said people growing and eating their own tree-ripened apples had access to much more nutritious fruit and every house in Albany had enough space in the yard for an apple tree.

The heritage apple festival and community garden seed swap is on Saturday, February 18 from 2pm to 4pm at Rainbow Coast Neighbourhood Centre gar-den behind Lockyer Primary School in Humphreys Street.

Apples to taste

By GEOFF VIVIANLABOR, the Nationals and the Greens have all announced new funds to promote the South Coast as a tour-ist destination if elected.

Shadow Treasurer Ben Wyatt said Labor would allocate $1million over four years for the City of Albany and shires of Plantagenet, Denmark and Jerramungup to further tourism strategies and promote the region.

Nationals’ WA leader Brendon Grylls promised to establish a $125million statewide destination marketing fund.

Robbie Sutton, Nationals WA can-didate for Albany said no specifi c amount was allocated to the South Coast but the region could end up getting “significantly more” than $1million.

He said funding would be via com-petitive grants.

“We are not going to say ‘here’s the money’,” he said.

“Do your business plan and your modelling and it will be assessed, probably through the Great Southern Development Council.”

Member for Albany Peter Watson said more effort was needed to pro-mote Albany nationally and overseas.

“Local governments have done a lot of hard work in coming up with a tourism strategy, but they need to be supported by the state government,” he said.

“This commitment will allow them to progress their strategy in the com-ing years.”

Nationals WA leader Brendon Grylls made similar observations.

“How do we tell people in Perth, in the Eastern States, and across the world that Albany is one of the

world’s best destinations for an un-derstanding of the Anzac legend?” he said.

“Sitting on the plane up to Ku-nunurra the other week I saw Texas advertising in the AirNorth infl ight magazine to try and convince me to go to Texas to have a Texas barbecue.

“That’s destination marketing.”

Greens’ candidate for the South West Diane Evers said her party planned to allocate $80million for “events and destination marketing” to attract more visitors and generate sus-tainable economic activity statewide.

“It is not specifi cally targeted to locations; however, the South West would get a large share as we have so many precious places and many tourists,” she said.

Liberals’ candidate Greg Stocks was contacted for comment.

The acoustic tin can tel-ephone was created in

the mid 1660s and was also known as the ‘lovers’ phone.’ Alexander Graham Bell is

widely credited with the in-vention of the fi rst telephone, which was patented in 1876.The fi rst international news

service, Reuters, opened its doors in Australia in 1860, using the telegraph system to dispatch messages to London in Morse code, at exorbitant cost.

The develop-ment of acoustic telegraphy allowed multiple messages to be sent down one wire using different audio frequencies and resulted in the invention of the telephone.

In 1880 the first telephone exchanges opened in Aus-tralia, which had an enormous impact in the development of the young country that felt isolated by “the tyranny of distance.”

Described as the “new sci-entifi c wonder” the telephone was greeted with a great deal

of enthusiasm in Australia by both business and gen-eral community. The last fully manual telephone exchange in WA was closed in 1985.

This was the Teninde-wa exchange, about 80km east of Geraldton and established in 1962 with 11 customers. Until then many people in

the town had no phone ser-vice apart from access to a telephone connection at the local post offi ce.

At the time of its $200,000 automated conversion on April 13, 1985, Tenindewa had 24 customers. Around 200 people gathered to celebrate this end of an era.

furtively pick up their phone and listen in to the conversation so it was wise to be wary!

Such close communications also meant that news of any emergency, fi res or other dramas were soon circulated.

These close-knit farming com-munities were noted for their big-heartedness in lending a hand, sharing news of ‘hatchings and dispatchings’ or alerting parents on the progress of the school bus which often broke down on its way home.

Operators of these small tel-ephone exchanges also had their special quirks and predictable habits.

Anyone trying to get a call through to the Kent River ex-change soon discovered that Mrs Nash fed her chooks at 5pm and went shopping on Thursdays and woe betide anyone buzzing the exchange at 6.30pm when she was watching Bellbird.

Although our house was still very much a work in progress, we had a proper phone installed, along with an outside bell that sounded like a fi re alarm so we could run down from our sheds to answer it.

It wasn’t ideal, but it certainly beat the jam jars and string…

feature of the week

By ANNE SIMPSON

I WONDER how many readers remember having their ‘trunk calls’ interrupted with the in-

termittent barking of an operator who sat at a remote switchboard, plugging and unplugging cords and monitoring a dozen calls or more at once?

How things have changed in the past 40-50 years or so.

I recently watched two young people having coffee together in a local café.

Not a word was spoken, as lattes were sipped and nimble fi ngers skimmed over the latest smart phones sending texts, checking Facebook and occasionally gasp-ing over the latest Tweets.

Photos of their cakes and coffees were snapped, along with a couple of selfi es and dispatched at speed via Facebook to their envious friends.

It’s what happens, it’s what life is all about. And it’s not all good.

It seems to me that modern technology has become so sophis-ticated and absorbing that families seem to live in separate bubbles and people just don’t communicate enough verbally.

Fortunately though, some of us ‘oldies and grumpies’ still leave our outdated mobiles in the kitchen

or don’t even hear them ringing plaintively in the depths of our ca-pacious handbags because we are too busy talking and still haven’t come to grips with Tweets.

All these changes to modern technology, along with sundry scary devices, remind me of my family’s early shed dwelling days in the late 1960s on a bush block near Denmark, miles away from the nearest telephone connection.

(We did, however, have a lot of fun with the kids, teaching them how to communicate with two jam tins and a long piece of taut string.

This centuries-old technique pre-cursor of the smart phone still holds a certain charm even though it can’t send texts or emails.)

Country telephone exchanges were dotted around in small rural communities, often in someone’s home or part of remote roadhouses that also provided stamps, beer,

two-day-old bread, a good gossip and tepid pies.

Our nearest manual telephone exchange at Kent River was about 5km away and was operated by a middle-aged couple, Mr and Mrs Nash.

The switchboard was adjacent to their humble kitchen and small abode, with healthy drafts gusting under the doors and in between the walls.

The little farm carried a few cows and chooks and there was always a surplus of fruit and vegies for visitors, in true farming fashion.

I would head down there a couple of times a week to make phone calls and learnt how to work the switches and various cords as well as a smattering of Morse code.

This was essential to make sure we correctly connected callers who were on the party line.

When Mrs Nash went shopping or took a short holiday I would sometimes take my position on an old stool and get plugged in, so to speak.

The party lines were huge fun, especially if you shared one with several others and could talk amongst yourselves without being charged 20 cents a call.

Needless to say anyone who heard the tell-tale tinkling could

GEOFF Stade and his brother David farm 3,600ha on a

mixed cropping and graz-ing property at Katanning.

They crop wheat, barley, oats, canola and lupins on 60 per cent of the farm and raise dorper lambs on their clover pastures.

Recently, Geoff needed to manage the rhizocto-nia patches in the farm’s cereal crops and was expe-riencing dust and residue issues on their machinery from seed treatment prod-ucts.

Based on advice from his local agronomist and Han-naford franchisee Derek Batchelor, Geoff used Rancona Dimension seed treatment for the fi rst time.

The Stades generally saw less root disease in their crops using Rancona Dimension and had no is-sues with dust or residue problems through their air seeder.

“We like Rancona Di-mension for the ease of handling and the peace of mind,” Geoff said.

The easy handling is due to a unique micro-emulsion (ME) formula-tion consisting of very

small emulsion droplets rather than solid particles in solution.

This means Rancona Dimension acts like a true liquid providing superior seed coverage and adhe-sion, so more active in-gredient ends up on your seed and not your equip-ment and better contact with pathogens compared to other formulations on the market.

“When professionally applied by Hannaford’s Derek Batchelor we know our seed has been done properly and Rancona Dimension has greatly re-duced the amount of dust and residue that remains on machinery and your hands,” Geoff said.

As well as reducing dust and providing easy clean-down of machinery, Rancona Dimension seed treatment combats a range of root diseases.

It is based on two active fungicides – 25g/L ip-conazole and 20g/L meta-laxyl – providing smut and bunt control, pythium control and suppression of crown rot and rhizoctonia when applied to wheat and barley seed at the recommended rates. The

ability to manage a range of diseases from the one product, by varying the rate according to your tar-get disease, provides fl ex-ibility for cereal croppers.

Using the 0.8L/t rate to control smuts and bunt, the 2.0L/t rate to control pythium, or dial the rate up to 3.2L/t to manage rhizoctonia and crown rot demonstartes this flex-ibility.

“In addition to the nor-mal smuts and bunt control we now get pythium and crown rot control, but most pleasing is the reduction in rhizoctonia patches,”

Geoff said. “When used in conjunction with fl utriafol down the tube it covers a wide range of diseases early in the season.”

With reports of an in-crease in root diseases in cereals last year, including crown rot at low levels in many WA wheat crops, it will be important to imple-ment appropriate manage-ment strategies and use relevant seed treatments next season.

For more information on Rancona Dimension con-tact your local Hannaford seed protection specialist – www.hannafords.com.

New insight into how different wheat varieties respond to

drought, published by UWA re-searchers, shows a novel avenue for breeding drought-tolerant wheat.

Water shortage is a major factor limiting crop yield in most regions where dryland rain-fed farming occurs, such as the grainbelt.

Leading researcher, Professor Guijun Yan from UWA’s School of Agriculture and Environment and Institute of Agriculture is working to develop climate-ready crops that

are adapted to water stress. He said the extent of yield limita-

tions due to water stress lays heav-ily on the particular growth stage at which plants experience the stress and the reproductive phase is the most critical.

Water was withheld during the reproductive phase, meiosis, in 46 different wheat varieties, to examine what effect the induced drought on the viability of male and female reproductive parts of the plant. Grain number, a major yield

component, was used to measure the effect. The results indicated that both male and female parts are sensitive to water stress during meiosis, not just the male part as was previously thought.

“Based on the results of this study, we can conclude that selec-tive screening of grain number for parental lines that are tolerant to water stress during meiosis is a promising way to breed superior drought-tolerant wheat,” Professor Yan said.

It may be legal, but is it moral?I WOULD like to bring your readers’

attention to the WA Liberal Party’s deliberate gathering of voters’ details (data-mining) via nefarious means.

The ‘Trojan-horse’ being used is the misleading reply-paid envelope with the postal vote application forms distributed in the name of the local Liberal candidate Greg Stocks.

On Thursday I received a postal vote application form with a Greg Stocks’ fl yer in the mail box.

While the provision of an offi cial WA Electoral Commission postal vote ap-plication form appears civic-minded, the ‘kicker’ is the reply-paid envelope.

On checking the address on this in-nocuously labelled processing centre envelope it is miraculously the same as WA Liberal Party head offi ce in West Perth!

So when you complete the form and pop it in the reply-paid envelope it goes to the Liberal Party, who enter your details in its database, then pass the forms to the WA Electoral Commission. No doubt state parties share their databases with the federal organisation too.

This under-handed data-mining is ‘legal’ under the Electoral Act; however, is it moral? I would suggest that the majority of people, regardless of political leaning, would fi nd this practice abhorrent and not wish to participate. It seems political parties are slow learners. Didn’t a federal health minister just get dumped for

legal but questionable practices? I phoned Greg Stocks and he claimed to know nothing about this practice, despite the WA Liberal Party using it at the last election.

If you want a postal vote phone the WA Electoral Commission, unless you are happy to be part of a database without your knowledge.

– Andrew Storrie, Mt Melville

Premier criticismis unfoundedTHE Albany Advertiser’s criti-

cism of Premier Colin Barnett’s absence in Albany, only a day after the offi cial election campaign began, is unreasonable.

Colin Barnett and the Liberal-led state government have been huge sup-porters of this region.

The Liberal commitment to Albany, over two terms of government – 2000-2017 – is easily demonstrated through the $400 million invested in the region.

This includes, but is not limited to, the Albany Entertainment Centre (2010), Albany Marina (2011), Albany Health Campus (2013), the new hos-pice facility (2015) and the National Anzac Centre (2014), Centennial Sporting Precinct (2016/17), Albany’s new fi re station (2017), upgrade of fa-cilities in the Fitzgerald National Park (2014), $10 million upgrade to South Coast Highway (2016/17), Men’s Shed (2016) and The Gap (2016) are just a few examples of the massive support for Albany and surrounding regions. Additionally, unbelievable support was provided by the Depart-

ment of Premier and Cabinet to ensure a world-class event was delivered for the Anzac commemorative departure event (2014). To suggest the Lib-eral Party have forgotten about us is laughable.

– Greg Stocks, Liberal Candidate Albany

Getting lots, yet doing very littleIT appears we will all be doomed

if iron ore companies have to pay a bit more tax, that’s if we believe the continual ads the multinationals throw down our throats ad nauseam.

Since premier David Brand opened the fi rst iron ore export business in Port Hedland in the mid-1960, govern-ments of all persuasions have rubbed their hands together with glee on the peanut deal they agreed to.

In the interim our governments have received lots of money and have done very little, yet continue to give more support to the dirt diggers in the name of more jobs for all West Australians and bow to those who have usurped our resources and now threaten us by suggesting if we don’t treat them with reverence we are doomed.

The simple fact is since the inception of the iron ore industry those in control had one direction – make lots of profi t.

Our governments have continued to bang the drum in support of the iron ore industry in the name of jobs yet we’re treated with contempt when mil-lions are spent by iron ore companies getting rid of those jobs by computer-controlling machinery from the city,

an action that will eventually dispose of most labour. If we take into consid-eration the negatives iron ore mining has brought to us: over-priced hous-ing, marriage disruption, insecurity, disruption of towns, mental health issues, environmental destruction and much more.

Compare that with the positives – jobs and tax. If we’re lucky it may break even. Jobs may have been a plus in the past for some, yet the tax has been frittered away with no thought for the future. In 1966, 25 cents was about the price I paid for two beers in a pub. I now pay a little bit more as we all do; that applies to all things. It’s time the mining mob came to the party and it’s time politi-cians had a bipartisan agreement to make this happen.

Casino for Albany?

NOW LandCorp is free to offer the hotel portion of the old Esplanade

site for sale, local candidates could fl ag the need for a change of govern-ment policy – by allowing a medium-sized casino to be built.

The premium sale price achieved would go direct to LandCorp for other worthwhile projects in WA.

Why should Perth with all its attrac-tions have the only casino? A high-class casino in the hotel development would be a big drawcard for Albany, attracting big spending tourist visi-tors as well as creating employment. Not exactly a big threat to the Crown. Which candidate for the March 11 election will get the ball rolling?

On February 11 Ms Blair crossed the International Date Line and as of Febru-ary 12, was one day 48 min and 38 seconds ahead of Russian adventurer Fedor Konyukhov’s time when he was racing in the Ant-arctica Cup Ocean Race.

Ms Blair was relaxed when she wrote in her blog on February 11 at www.lisablairsailsthe world.com:

“The winds last night maintained their 20 knots from the N giving me some pleasant sailing con-ditions. I had two reefs in the main sail and the No2 jib furled just a bit. Still suffering from my nasty headache, I was trying to get an early night unfortu-nately my mind had other ideas. I was too excited to sleep as I knew I was nearing the International

Date Line. A rather large milestone of my trip.

“I watched the sun crest over the horizon minutes before I travelled across the imagery line that is the International Date Line. The International Date Line is where the lines of Longitude reach their peak at 180 degrees and transit from east to west. It is situ-ation on the opposite side of the world from the Me-ridian Line where UTC is founded. For me it means that I lose an entire day.”

Offi cially she crossed the date line at 16.25:39 UTC or local time of 5:25:39.

On February 12, head-ing 298 degrees at 5.3 knots: “A very long but good day. In the early hours of this morning the winds decided that they (sic) were going to go on a holiday. With fi ve knots of wind the boat was creep-ing along. I could barely see 50 metres from the

boat as a heavy fog had settled. Never to waste a good opportunity I thought that I would use this wind-less day to get a bunch of the jobs done on the boat.”

On February 13: “Yes-terday saw me sailing in light winds and heavy fog and today has seen me sail-ing in 40 knots of wind and sheeting rain. This morn-ing I woke to 15 knots of wind from the north east and the boat was trucking along nicely. I was very lucky in the conditions that night and got prob-ably the best sleep of the trip. I awoke feeling very rested. By the time 3pm came around the winds had started to build and I was starting to get gusts of 30 knots.

“... as I fi nished reefi ng I was getting hit with 45 knots of wind and rain that was sheeting sideways.”

On February 14: “I was expecting a storm last

night, I can honestly say that the weather gods did not disappoint.

“Turns out I should have shut that water tight hatch because the next minute I could feel the boat be-ing lifted by a big wave. There was this moment of weightlessness as we reached the peak, I braced every muscle taught, grip-ping the bench top.

“Then the feeling of your stomach dropping as we were thrown down the face of the wave coming to an abrupt holt in the trough at the bottom, milliseconds later the wave overtook us breaking against the hull and fi lling the cockpit with mountains of water.

“The boat tipped a bit more and as I watched the water filled the cockpit, swirled and came barrel-ling into the cabin through my nice 15cm gap that I was so kind to leave open for it. I blinked and when I opened my eyes every-thing that was on the port side of the boat was now on the starboard side, I cringed hearing the laptop strike the opposite wall.

“And in the next second the wave was past, Climate Action Now righted herself and we carried on like nothing had happened. My mast was just in the water seconds ago.”

hospital when they felt things were getting on top of them, rather than being sent in by others. He was also one of the fi rst to introduce group therapy.They are two different things but

they are both based on listening to the patient. And I think his thinking was

remarkable.What happened with his dis-

covery of lithium was he noticed something that didn’t fi t with what he believed, so he changed his mind. He did that a lot. His sons re-

member how one day, driving through the bush, he told them to keep their eyes open because there were elephants close by. They laughed in scorn for the

next few miles and then they drove around the corner and saw the circus, with the elephants.A couple of miles back John

Cade had seen a huge pile of dung, too large for it to be from any other animal and changed his mind about his chances of seeing an elephant that day. That’s how medicine is meant

to work.– Doc Brendan


I DON’T know whether you’re meant to have a favourite psy-chiatrist, but I do and it’s John

Cade. There’s a lot of reasons why. Partly it’s because of what he

did. John Cade grew up around peo-

ple with mental illness. His father was a medical su-

perintendent at one of the larger psychiatric hospitals in Victoria.The hospital was large, it had

its own piggery, orchards, tennis courts and theatre, but there was no real treatment for bipolar dis-order: what we used to call manic depression.When the disease became

unmanageable, people were hospitalised for life. Cade would have seen how dif-

fi cult things were for them. When he came back from WWII

(he was a prisoner of war in Changi Prison, Singapore), he was determined to do what he could to help. His idea was that the body and

brain were more closely con-nected than people thought.Too much or too little of some

chemical in the blood of some-

one suffering from mental illness could at least partly cause their symptoms. Cade decided to start by testing

the urine of patients for chemical imbalances. The fi rst his wife knew of this was

when he drove to the city to buy vast numbers of screw top jars.They stacked up in the house,

and then the garage.He stored the samples of urine

in them.She tried to explain to him that

they couldn’t afford thousands of jars, but he explained they could use them “for pickles”. In the meantime he stored them

in the kitchen fridge. He extracted the chemicals from

the urine and tested tiny amounts of them on guinea pigs.One day he added lithium: it

was actually so he could extract another chemical. It made them seem relaxed and happy.He didn’t know if it was safe, so

he tried it on himself.Lithium calmed people who

hadn’t had peace for decades.What he did would be wonderful

enough, but for me the amazing things are how kind he was and how he thought.His kindness towards his pa-

tients was remarkable in an age where that wasn’t often the case. His hospital was one of the fi rst

to allow voluntary admissions – so that people could come into

RESIDENTIAL solar us-ers could claim a 50 per cent tax rebate of up to $5,000 to install battery storage. This would be under a Greens’ plan that could see 120,000 WA house-holds powered by their own energy supply within fi ve years.

In a WA fi rst, income earners on $80,000 could also claim $5,000 per household declining to $1,000 by 2021 under a grants scheme that would kick-start the battery stor-age industry and drive

down the cost of units and power bills.

A s p a r t o f t h e Greens’ Energy 2030 plan towards 100 per cent re-newable energy by 2030, Greens candidate Tim Clifford said the Greens’ were the only party to develop a plan to create jobs and innovation in the renewable energy sector.

“Battery storage will revolutionise our energy system, giving power back to people, to reduce their energy bills and to tackle global warming,” he said.

“At the moment, the cost of battery units are out of reach for a lot of people who are already strug-gling to pay their power bills. WA is one of the ripest places in the world for battery storage uptake due to our high electricity prices, relatively cheap PV and high solar radiation.

“The Greens’ scheme would provide a $5,000 upfront grant to install solar for families earning less than $80,000, as well as a tax break.

“Businesses would also benefit, allowing their

battery storage assets to be depreciated over three years rather than 15 years, which could pay off their battery storage unit within 10 years.”

Mr Clifford said similar to the trend of solar pan-els, demand would drive down the price of battery storage but it needed a scheme to drive sales.

“The uptake of battery storage is a real game changer and already in WA we’ve seen homes and businesses install solar panels with great success.”

SMD Bookkeeping

SUCCESSFULLY running a business in Australia requires more than just providing products or services consum-ers need or want at competitive prices.

Great customer service, knowledge-able advice and timely delivery are also essential.

As if all this wasn’t enough, business owners are also burdened with having to ‘do the BAS’ – the business activity statement involving calculating and reporting taxes such as GST and Pay As You Go (PAYG).

Many fi nd correctly completing the BAS complicated and stressful, especially as there are penalties for getting your fi gures wrong.

Plus, while keeping company books and fi nancials is a must, doing so takes up a lot of time and effort.

Calling in an expert such as Sonya De-lamotte of SMD Bookkeeping Service

can take all the BAS pain away, leaving business owners with time to concen-trate on what they do best – providing their particular services or product and growing their business. As a regis-tered BAS agent and bookkeeper, Ms Delamotte is qualifi ed to provide BAS services. “Bookkeeping and BAS tie together perfectly,” she said.“After all, your bookkeeper is doing

the day-to-day recording of transac-tions and payroll calculations so, come reporting time, they’re already familiar with your fi nances and are perfectly placed to prepare your BAS documents which can save you time and account-ing costs.”SMD Bookkeeping Service provides

guaranteed data protection and confi -dentiality, local support for your peace of mind and high-quality service at a low price.

THE townsfolk had waited three weeks for the erection of the red granite monument in memory of Anthony Horden “Tertius”,

promoter of the railway between Albany and Geraldton, later changed to Perth.

The monument was brought to Albany by ship and unloaded on a rail carriage at the Deep Water Jetty. Being far too heavy for any wagon in Al-bany, a wagon was borrowed from Dunn Bros at Porongurup to carry it to the top of York Street.

“But why build it out of town?” the townsfolk cried.

“Why not in the terrace, in the centre of our town?”

A notice in the Albany Advertiser stated:“The unveiling of the Hordern Monument will

take place Wednesday afternoon, July 2 by his Excellency Sir Malcolm Fraser. The public are requested to assemble outside the Court House in Stirling Terrace, 3pm, before marching to the site.”

The morning of July 2, 1890 was a typical win-ter’s day in Albany. Rain squalls were carried on a blustery cold southwest wind off the harbour.

His excellency the Administrator, Sir Malcolm Fraser, accompanied by three members of the Legislative Assembly and aide, the Hon CT Mason, had arrived by special train the evening before.

Schoolchildren were led by their headmaster Mr Palmer, more than six-foot-tall with stovepipe hat. He was a ticket-of-leave convict, a highly respected citizen and much-loved teacher.

My grandparents attended the unveiling and my mother, at the age of three years, remem-bered that day. The sun came out just prior to the unveiling, but the cold wind blew up York Street making the occasion miserable for those kept standing while the politicians had their say.

The monument stood central to the intersection of the four roads and was moved to the side for better traffi c control.

DENMARK Magpies should be playing home games on a mud-free oval next year, with some remedial work already done.Shire CEO Bill Parker said main-

tenance staff had used a sand slitting system as a temporary measure before this year’s football season. “A machine cuts into the grass

and the organic layer and allows the water to penetrate into the sand,” he said.Mr Parker said a government

applied for the grant to improve the playing surface as the oval had

THE Shire of Den-mark’s new finance and administration di-rector Cary Green has commenced duties.CEO Bill Parker said

Mr Green had pre-viously been direc-tor of corporate and community Services at Augusta Margaret River Shire and re-gional manager at the Department of Sport and Recreation.“Cary’s strong inter-

est in sport and rec-reation will serve him well in the position,” Mr Parker said.“His strong interper-

sonal skills and keen interest in voluntary and community activi-ties will be an asset to both the organisation and the community, as will his breadth of ex-perience and profes-sional qualifi cations.”Mr Parker also ac-

knowledged thefFi-nance and administra-tion team efforts dur-ing the interim period.“The fi nance and ad-

ministration team have worked diligently.”

A LOCAL housing coop-erative is using a can-nabis product to protect themselves from bush-fi res.Deco Living represent-

ative Donald Clarke said the Denmark group was using a fire-retardant substance called hemp-crete as the main mate-rial to build its group of dwellings in the town.He said the WA Greens

Party’s policy initiative Bushfi res and Extreme Weather had prompted the group to speak out.“Deco Living is a not-

for-profit development company cu r ren t l y building a community of 12 homes in high fi re-risk Denmark WA,” he said. “As the Greens point out, bushfi re risk is part of the Australian landscape and climate change science tells us that we are likely to experience more ex-treme fire seasons in the future.”He said the Greens,

who had several mem-bers who were also Deco Living members, aimed to increase awareness of the risks of living in bushfi re prone areas.

“Among the Greens’ (WA) aims is the intent to help people to fi re-proof their homes to AS3959-2009 standards in high-risk areas and put the onus of bushfi re requirements back on property developers,” he said

“As property develop-ers, Deco Living have readily accepted their fire-risk responsibility by building their $4.6 million project in hemp-crete, to a far greater standard.” Mr Clarke said hempcrete was a

bio-aggregate based compos i te mater ia l which consists of hemp shiv (hurd), lime binder and water. “Hempcrete has sev-

eral distinct advantages including low thermal conductivity, effective moisture buffering and high-sound absorption while having a high carbon sequestration index” and actually ab-sorbing CO2 over time,” he said. “Hempcrete creates

He said this would be the first large use of Hempcrete in WA.

“It is possible due to a large effort to get de-velopment approval, BCA compliance, supply chain, interstate and overseas training and skilling of local labour – none of which was with government assis-tance,” he said.

“The community group behind the development company will soon be able to sleep safe know-ing that for fi re risk they are living in a commu-nity among the safest of any in WA.”

“It is this sort of building technology that needs to be encouraged and pro-moted by state and local government in meeting the admirable Greens (WA) vision of fi re-risk mitigation.”

engineers to assess the oval and recommended that the existing profi le be removed and replaced, with additional subsurface drains installed on closer spacing.Sport and recreation minister Mia

Davies said Denmark Shire would be given $117,667 from the Com-munity Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF), which is about a third of the estimated reconstruction cost.The shire would need to pick up

the remaining $235,334 tab.The CSRFF program offers fi -

nancial assistance to community groups and local government au-thorities to develop and improve basic infrastructure for sport and

recreation. “The acceptance of the CSRFF Annual Grant will allow the shire to resolve the drainage issues that sporting groups and users have experienced in recent times,” Mr Parker said.

“McLean Park Oval is an impor-tant community recreational asset that is used by a number of local sporting organisations.

Mr Parker said the work must be completed next fi nancial year.

LOCALS have ques-tioned whether spending more than the budgeted amount on a second Den-mark River traffi c bridge would prevent the Shire of Denmark from starting other important projects.

Shire CEO Bill Park-er said he did not have enough information to an-swer the questions asked at last month’s special council meeting.

“We don’t have a 10-year financial plan. We don’t know what the op-portunity cost will be,” he said.

Mr Parker urged the community to contrib-ute to a major review of the strategic community plan between now and September 2017.

During this time the shire will ask the com-munity to outline the long term vision, values, as-pirations and priorities which will form the basis of its strategic community plan (SCP).

“Council will be able to make better decisions, more informed deci-sions,” Mr Parker said.

“It will be transforma-tional in the way we do business.”

He said a SCP would drive the development of local plans, resourcing strategies, service levels and other strategic docu-ments the shire needed to deliver on the overall community vision.

“The SCP is council’s principal planning docu-

ment that drives what we do as an organisation,” he said.

“We want to hear from the community on what they see as the future di-rection for Denmark and provide us with sugges-tions and advice on how we can work together to achieve this.”

He said the review pro-cess would provide the best opportunity for those passionate about specifi c issues.

“It is also a time for those members of the community who may be less vocal to think about the future direction of the shire and have their voice heard,” he said.

“Ultimately the SCP will provide council with

a very clear platform on community priorities over the next 10 years.”

The review process is open to all who wish to participate and will involve a number of sur-veys, competitions, work-shops, focus groups and submission periods in the coming months.

To stay up-to-date with the review and to ac-cess a copy of the project plan and community en-gagement schedule, visit www.denmark.wa.gov.au/our-council/strategic-community-plan.aspx.

Wilson Inlet included in sea-fl oor surveyTHE Wilson Inlet is included in a study of more than 5,500sqm of WA’s coastline.The research has provided a rare look at the sea-fl oor that will help plan for its future care and protection.

Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) chair Eric

Diploma is a gateway tofurther graduate studies

AN internat ional team of researchers has developed a new way of visualising the distribution of cholesterol in cells and tissues.

Their studies, which provide unique in-sights into the move-ment of cholesterol into and out of cells, could eventually lead to new therapies for cardiovascular dis-ease.

Researchers at UWA and the University of California, Los Ange-les (UCLA) collabo-rated in using a new high-resolution imag-ing tool (called a Na-noSIMS) to visualise and measure a pool of cholesterol (acces-sible cholesterol) on the surface of cells.

Cholesterol is an es-sential fat molecule and is critical for main-taining the plasma membrane in every cell in the body.

Cholesterol is also present in the blood stream. Elevated lev-els of it in the blood are a major risk factor for coronary artery disease.

This pool of choles-terol is thought to play a role in regulating production of choles-terol by cells and it likely plays an impor-tant role in the ability of cells to unload sur-plus cholesterol.

Using the high-res-olution imaging tool, the research team showed that this pool of cholesterol is not evenly d ist r ibuted on the plasma mem-brane, but instead is highly enriched on projections (microvilli) on the surface of the cells.

Previously, scientists had speculated that microvilli play a role in moving cholesterol into and out of cells.

The discovery that this pool of cholesterol is highly enriched in microvilli supports that idea.

Dr Haibo Jiang from the UWA Centre for Microscopy, Charac-terisation and Analy-sis, said the study provides unique in-sights into cholesterol distribution and will make it possible for future studies into how

cells dispose of ex-cess cholesterol.

“We would like to gain a better under-standing of the mech-anisms of cholesterol movement in cel ls and tissues,” Dr Ji-ang said.

“We believe this new method could yield new strategies for lowering cholesterol levels in the blood or at least new strate-gies for optimising the effects of existing cholesterol-lowering drugs.”

Study collaborator, Dr Stephen Young from UCLA, said the international collabo-ration has a wonderful future.

“The team has al-ready defi ned unique mechanisms for cho-lesterol movement in special ised cel l types,” he said.

“The plan now is to use the imaging tool, along with novel bio-chemical approaches, to investigate choles-terol distribution and cholesterol movement in multiple cell types.”

DO you have a university de-gree, but are not sure whether it provides you with all the skills and knowledge needed to pur-sue your chosen career?The University of Western Aus-

tralia’s Albany campus can offer you a Graduate Entry Diploma. These graduate-entry diplomas

are available to students who have successfully completed a bachelor’s degree in any dis-cipline and wish to undertake further studies towards an ad-ditional undergraduate major without the need to meet the full course requirements of another bachelor’s degree.A diploma will provide you with

the opportunity to either extend your previous undergraduate studies within a particular disci-pline, or choose a major from an entirely new area.You can complete a diploma on

a part-time basis over two years. If you have completed a bach-

elor’s degree in arts or science, then consider deepening your knowledge and expertise in your chosen major area with an hon-ours year. Through a combination of course

work and a dissertation, you will take your knowledge to an advanced level by focusing on a major area of study.“The honours program gave me

practical fieldwork experience and exposed me to many of the processes that are required to undertake research in the natu-ral sciences,” honours student Bronte Van Helden said.

“Not only has this enthused me to undertake a research career, it has also equipped me with some of the skills that are necessary to do so.

“I really enjoyed being in the fi eld on a daily basis and putting the theory learned during my undergraduate degree into prac-tice. It was great to know I was conducting useful research whilst also enjoying what I was doing,” she added.

EX-ALBANY local Colin Morrison has been inspired. Currently living in Busselton, he

says his story will resonate with people at the crossroads in their life – those in need of a new adventure or just need encouragement to get out and do something new with their lives.

This is a simple story about how the purchase of a classic sports car, in Colin’s case, a 1969 MGB Roadster, can change, re-direct, invigorate and set you off on paths not imaginable, hitherto.

He decided to call his MG Mari-lyn – after Monroe, of course. (The new number plate says “Norma J”, Marilyn’s real name being Norma Jean Baker).

“She’s very pretty but requires con-stant high maintenance in the form of polishing and generally keeping her in tip-top running condition,” Colin said.

A visit to Albany for the Albany Clas-sic in 2016 has inspired Colin to bring his 1969 Mk2 MGB Marilyn up to spec to compete in the Albany Classic this year.

For the love of Marilyn

Colin’s a member of the Busselton MG Club as well as the Veteran Car Club and said that competing in Albany is the next step up from local club events.

He was very impressed with the circuit, the manner in which the event was run

and enjoyed the displays of cars, listening to live bands and the festival.

He contacted the Vintage Sports Car Club of WA for information on what was required to compete at the Classic and was put in contact with scrutineer

Barry McIntosh. They are working closely to ensure that Colin’s vehicle meets requirements to compete under a Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) licence.

“Competing in Round the Houses would be like

coming home as I was born, schooled and later taught at ASHS, but have been away for more than 20 years,” Colin said.

Last year’s visit also ce-mented his decision to return to Albany to live and hopes that this year

he will be competing as an Albany resident.

There were a record 22 Albany entrants competing in the 2016 event. Look out for Colin and Marilyn at the 2017 Albany Classic on Sunday, June 4.

THE Sounds of The Great Southern project has an-nounced its list of the 10

artists selected for its upcoming recording sessions.This comes after an arduous

selection process which saw more than 100 applications for the project.Each artist, band or duo will have

the opportunity to record a song from their repertoire which will feature on a compilation album to be distributed for national radio airplay. WA Music’s regional offi cer and

Sounds of The Great Southern coordinator Nigel Bird said the selection process had been diffi -cult given the number of entrants.“The Great Southern region

has a strong reputation for being abundant with great songwriters and musicians,” he said.“It was an incredible response.

115 is by far the most applicants we’ve received for a Sounds of project.“With a project like this, we hope

to come back and do more, so we

didn’t want to just do a ‘best of’ list.“What I think we’ve got is a really

good snapshot of the region.”Artists selected are: The Tid-

swell Twins with The North Al-bany Senior High School Band (Albany), Willow (Denmark), 40 Kays Out (Katanning), Ron Coyne (Albany), Rastatrix (Den-mark), Blue Stuka (Takalarup), Carla Geneve (Albany), Mary Jayne & The Smoke Detectors (Denmark), Kris Nelson (Albany) and Isla Imogen (Albany).The selection covers genres

ranging from rock to indie pop, jazz, country, folk-dub, dirty blues, and reggae-ska-dub and there is a mix of established and lesser-known artists.Along with guest sessions from

ARIA Award-winning producer Joel Quartermain (Eskimo Joe, Meg Mac) and Debaser Studio engineer Andy Lawson (Eskimo Joe, Little Birdy), Sounds of The Great Southern will see award-winning producers Matt Gio from Rada Studio (Katy Steele, Abbe May) and Sean Lillico (Fur Real

Studio) working with the artists.Bird said he was currently in the

process of scheduling the acts for the four-week recording process which will begin on March 12 on location in Albany.The recording crew will spend

two days setting up the studio and acoustically treating the recording space.The Sounds of the Great South-

ern project also provided the op-portunity for a handful of music students and burgeoning pro-ducers to get an insight into the technical and human aspects of the recording process. “We’ve picked a few local people

who we think would really benefi t from the experience of having access to engineers and produc-ers,” he said.“It’s a great opportunity for them

to boost their careers and not only learn about the technical skills of recording but also the human aspects of working with artists.”The Sounds of The Great South-

ern compilation will be released to the public mid-year.

A SCHOLARSHIP opportunity has

arisen for 15 to 16 year old s who could ben-efi t from professional singing lessons.Former Australian

Opera singer Petrina Bishop is offering a $500 grant to young people through her Perth-based company Akanna Entertainment. Ms Bishop began

many sacrifices to meet tuition fees,” she said. “I now wish to cre-

ate an opportunity to lighten the load for

parents and keep the flame burning for a young ‘rising star’.”Successful appli-

cants will have the funds paid to their private vocal coach, performance or dance school, if they are en-rolled in paid singing lessons, performance or musical theatre classes.There is a $10 entry

fee, with applications closing on March 31.Grants will be award-

ed on April 7.Young hopefuls may

GREAT Southern contempo-rary art group MIX Artists will

explore a range of perspectives on the concept of ‘trophy’ with an intriguing upcoming exhibition at Albany Town Hall.

These perspectives include the trophy wife, the trophy house, hunting trophies and the notion of land and its conquest as a trophy.

Several artists have explored the impact of battle and con-quest on humanity, expressing the plight of the losers of confl ict.

The free-entry Trophy exhibi-

tion is part of PIAF Great South-ern and runs from February 18 to March 12, 10am to 4pm.

It will be offi cially opened on February 17 by University of Western Australia Emeritus Professor Margaret Seares who is a previous PIAF chairperson.

Artists have worked with a range of media, with the exhibi-tion featuring ceramic sculpture, paintings and works made from paper, as well as artworks cre-ated from sand, dust and emer-gency rescue blankets.

Artists exhibiting are from Al-

bany, Denmark, and Borden and include Ann Copeman, Jenny Crisp, Annette Davis, Samantha Dennison, Renee Farrant, Ro-byn Lees, Dianne Lofts-Taylor, Serena McLauchlan, Rachel Mordy, Jill O’Meehan, Terri Piko-ra, Natalie Radivojevic, Margaret Sanders and Kirsten Sivyer. Some of the artists will discuss

their work at Albany Town Hall from 2.30pm on February 18.Exhibition coordinator Annette

Davis said MIX Artists formed in 1999 and have been exhibiting as part of the PIAF Great South-ern program for about 12 years.

Trophy will include works by (clockwise from above) Jenny Crisp, Serena McLauchlan, Kirsten Sivyer, Rachel Mordy and Nat Rad.

My girlfriend does her nails with white-out. When she’s asleep, I go over there and write misspelled words on them.

Steven Wright

Here’s some advice: At a job interview, tell them you’re willing to give 110 percent. Unless the job is a statistician.

Adam Gropman


arts

IF you ask Wade Mor-rison, he’ll tell you he’s just a singer in a

cover sband – nothing more, nothing less.He fronts local outfit

Tre Amici who have been doing the rounds for more than a year in their current three-piece guise.Along with his father

Dave on drums and bassist Nathan Clark, they have quickly be-come one of the main-s tays o f the Great Southern’s condensed pub scene.Morrison’s vocal range

is the band’s trademark and it allows the band to cover a breadth of ma-terial that could easily be shared by two sing-ers. He knows it’s what

sets him apart from other singers, but he’s the last person chasing any acclaim and turns to the ability of his band-mates when discussing his vocal style and gui-tar playing.“I’m not a natural gui-

tar player. I’m just a rhythm player and I get away with it because the drummer and bass player are so solid,” Morrison said.“I can go off in the

song and do my thing, and when I get back I know they’re going to be there.”Morrison’s dad, Dave,

has been drumming in bands for decades and needless to say he is his son’s biggest musical infl uence and in an emerging trend, he shifts the spotlight from his own ability.“I know I’ve had a lot of

opportunities because dad is a drummer,” he said.“It was good growing

up with music around.”Morrison still seems

apologetic about pull-ing an old bass guitar out from hiding that belonged to his dad (despite being a drum-mer) when he was a young kid.He’d pretend to play

for hours before return-ing the instrument to its secret hiding spot, supposedly without his dad ever knowing.Morrison says guitarist

and former Toy Boyz band mate Glen Well-man was another big influence and helped with the transition from just being a vocalist to a singer/guitarist.Wellman was also in-

and-out of bands with Morrison senior when Wade was younger.“Glen is the reason I

picked up a guitar,” he said. “He was an abso-lute genius.”“I learnt more about

guitar from Glen in the two or three years we were in Toy Boyz to-gether than the rest of the time I’ve spent playing,” Morrison says.He cites the receipt

of a Marshall amplifi er for his 18th birthday as a hallmark moment in taking the guitar and music, seriously.He also admits that

selling the amp a few

years later was one of the more erroneous de-cisions of his youth and he is hoping the recent purchase of the ex-act same model might make amends.Fortunately he has

never parted ways with his sunburst Fender Telecaster.With nearly 20 years

of performing under his belt, the issue of dwin-dling crowd numbers and the limited number of venues that support live music is never far from the conversation.Morrison recalls the

fi rst handful of years he spent performing and rattles off a list of thriv-ing venues in Albany that were supporting live music. The list is more or less

a role call of any hotel that was open for busi-ness.Today, Tre Amici trav-

els as far as Esperance to get in front of a crowd that appreciates live music.While Morrison is phil-

osophical about the sit-uation he understands there is heavy compe-tition from everything from DJs to reality tele-

vision talent quests and the general subdued state of the economy.

He is hopeful that the tide will turn and the audience numbers will again improve.

While he is waiting, he has his own children to musically nurture.

He lives for the day his daughters each pick up a guitar and start singing.

For now he will con-tinue to juggle a full-time job, fatherhood and just being a singer in a cover band.

Research has found that because it makes you think positive thoughts, throwing salt over your shoulder can actually prevent bad luck, or at least give you better luck than the guy behind you.

ONE of the unfortunate facts of rebuild-ing cars is that it often costs more than you’d like to admit.

Trevor Southall might have found a loophole with his stunning 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air. “Everything we did cost $2,000,” he said.“The motor, $2,000. The under coat for the

body, $2,000. The top coat, $2,000. The upholstery, $2,000. The wheels and tyres, another $2,000.“Everything we did cost $2,000. So we sim-

ply call it ‘our $2,000 car’.”Whichever way you look at it, it has paid off

the paddock” three times and has been pro-viding them with the simple pleasure of driving

an old classic since they re-registered it 22 years ago.Trevor rebuilt it from the ground up over

eight years, and the story goes that one of his daughters turned up on her wedding day in a ’59 Cadillac that had “great big fi ns on the back that looked pretty cool”.So the hunt began for a suitable project that

was in Trevor and Barbara’s price range.Trevor found the shell of a Chevy with its

distinct tail fi ns in a state of disrepair in Perth. It was hand painted in Candy Apple Red and only had 14 coats on it.But the body was straight and that was all

he needed to get the nod to bring it home.He stripped it back to bare metal and be-

gan the long and patient rebuilding process, sourcing parts and information without the help of the internet.

Fortunately, the car was set up as a right-hand-drive from birth, having arrived in knock-down confi guration, with the body pressed in Canada.Testament to the job Trevor has done, the

car still looks mint 20 years after its rebirth.From any angle, the Chev catches the eye,

and it’s got one of the best looking back-ends in town.But as good as the car now looks on the

outside, it has the engine to match.Trevor’s experience in mechanics is directly

responsible for the smooth and quiet burble that emanates from under the hood. You’d be hard pressed to fi nd an engine that

runs smoother without a computer attached.Where the Chev was normally fi tted with a

283 and a two-speed automatic transmission,

he opted for a three-speed and a 307 giving it a bit more grunt for towing the caravan.Another clever and practical move was set-

ting the car up for LPG and unleaded fuel from day one to avoid adjustments while “Super” was phased out.Although he’s got a few years on the Chev,

Trevor laments that it’s in better shape than he is.He always gets a good response from the

passers-by at the Marina Cars and Coffee and various shows around the Great Southern and we’re sure that will continue.

Trevor’s Chevrolet rebuild still mint after twenty years

The Weekender, February 16, 2017 57sport

THE Royals and Sharks will be playing their home games at Centennial Ov-al’s new AFL-standard football oval this season.

Premier Colin Barnett officially opened the grounds and stadium with O’Connor MP Rick Wilson, WA Regional De-velopment Minister Terry Redman, Albany MLA Peter Watson and Albany Mayor Dennis Wellington on Sunday.

The Mayor thanked the state and Australian governments for their contributions to what he described as a major milestone in the sporting precinct redevelopment.

“This magnifi cent stadi-um will be the heart of the redeveloped Centennial Park sporting precinct,” he said.

“Given Albany’s popu-lation and importance as the region’s centre, our sporting facilities were well below the standard of sporting venues in much smaller towns and not what was expected of a regional city.

“This facility is now the region’s premier stadium.”

The $14 million football stadium and surrounding grounds has been com-pleted with a $8.25 million Commonwealth grant and $5.75 million from the state. It forms part of stage one of the $27 million Centennial Park redevel-opment towards which the state government has con-tributed a total of $16.75 million.

The stadium features a 442-seat grandstand, full commercial-grade kitchen and bar, outside broadcast facilities, multi-use meet-ing and function rooms seating 200, and a full-sized AFL fi eld with 250-lux WAFL grade lighting. Mayor Wellington said

there was still some work to complete on landscap-ing and preparing the oval turf while growing condi-tions were favourable.

“The more care and time given to the playing surface in this seasonal window before heavy use will ensure the turf holds up over the coming foot-ball season and beyond,” Mayor Wellington said.

“It will enable us to ex-plore any possible op-portunity to host a NAB Cup or WAFL fi xture next year.”

Royals Football Club and Albany Football Club will be co-tenants of the new football stadium and are expected to be able to start training on the ground in March.

Overall, the state govern-ment invested $16.75 mil-lion in the redevelopment project. This included a three-court extension to the Albany Leisure and Aquatic Centre, develop-ment of a new playing

fi eld in the central precinct and the upgrade of Rail-ways Oval.

Centennial Park com-prises grounds for soccer, cricket, hockey and rugby and is a central focus for the Albany sporting com-munity.

“These facilities will be used by the whole com-munity in Albany and surrounds and will meet the needs of a wide range of sporting groups,” the Premier said.

“Community sporting facilities are places for people to improve their health and fi tness, but at the same time they are also about building con-nections with others.

“Active communities are more engaged and that in turn creates more liveable regions which are stronger, healthier, happier and safer.”

– Geoff Vivian

Regional Development Minister Terry Redman, Albany Mayor Dennis Wellington, O’Connor MP Rick Wilson and Premier Colin Barnett teamed up to cut the ribbon offi cially opening the facility.

ALBANY Rods and Tackle proprietor Jim Allen and I received an invitation to meet state premier Collin Barnett at Emu Point on Monday.

He was there to an-nounce the deployment of an artifi cial reef for Albany as part of his re-election campaign.

This is great news for Albany and for WA fi sh-ing in general. It will be funded from money collected from boating fi shing licences.

JOHN Hanson caught this193cm crab while fi shing on the Kalgan River last Saturday using a rod and reel. This photograph is in the running for The Weekender’s Fishing Photo Competition for February.

Surprise Saturday catch

The local fi shing com-munity will be asked for their thoughts on its location and it needs to be kept in mind that it should be in a position that boats of around fi ve metres can safely access.

This will make it avail-able to most local and

visiting boat owners, weather permitting.

Jim and I have some ideas on suitable areas and we both strongly believe that if it is de-ployed in the correct area it will be a boost for recreational anglers when in place.

Another thing that fi ts in with this is the project to have fi sh aggregating devices (FADs) in place out of Albany.

This remains strong but at this point it is still rest-

Artifi cial reef for Albanying with the Department of Fisheries to tick the fi nal few boxes so we can get them deployed and start attracting fi sh.

If the weather gods play the game it could be as quick as four weeks for Recfi shwest to de-ploy them once we have the green light.

When these and the artifi cial reef are in place Albany will be an even better place to fi sh and I for one can’t wait.

– Alby

WITH some amazing rainfall over the weekend many of the rivers east of Albany broke through to the ocean and fl owed at such a rate they became unfi shable. Luckily for the organisers and competitors of

the Albany Bream Spectacular the river condi-tions were okay and many great specimens were caught and released. The winners were Alex Griesdorf and local

Jack Dawson with an outstanding bag weight of 7.270 kg over the two days.From memory, this team has won four of the

last Albany Bream Spectaculars.Before the rain hit the squid, numbers had been

on the increase with many good ones being caught in the Emu Point channel. Captain Jason cooled his heels at the weekend

due to the inclement climate.He’s looking forward to a change in the weather

so he can get his customers out there catching fi sh again!

What’s biting?

TODD Jefferis (centre) had to book 18 months in advance for his fi rst tilt at game fi shing off Exmouth late last year, but it was worth the wait.Todd, along with brother Ryan and mate Brett Edwards, hauled in nine blue marlin over four days ranging from 100kg to 170kg. The grin on his face says it all and suggests this might not be the last blue marlin he lands.

The torrential rain last Friday and Saturday led to

the shelving of two Al-bany Cricket Association (ACA) A Grade matches and will surely impact upon the fi nals chase of some clubs.

Saturday’s Round 14 fi xtures of North County against Manypeaks and Collingwood Park versus Railways were both a washout.

Fortunately, Sunday’s Round 15 fi xture featur-ing Collingwood Park hosting Manypeaks at home went ahead after sufficient sunshine and a strong breeze came through, allowing the grounds to be playable.

Both clubs had a lot to play for with just three rounds left to cement ladder positions and took to the fi eld to capitalise on the previous day’s non-play.

The visitors won the toss and elected to bat, sending in Ryan Kinnear and player/coach Langley Angel.

Kinnear went on the fi rst ball for a duck and captain Craig Sinclair joined Angel to add some solid runs.

Sinclair eventually went for 17 and Wade An-ning’s arrival to the crease was short, also going for a duck on his first ball faced.

Angel went next for 15 but the arrival and partnership of Warwick Durack and Bryce Durack was poetic.

The two batsmen took ownership of the pitch and were the highlight of Peaks’ batting innings.

Bryce was the fi rst to go for a superb 40 with War-wick later for a choice 46.

Weekend washout

Aran Tilbury added sev-en with Jeremy Stewart and Todd Jefferis both contributing six runs apiece.

Timothy Shephard fi n-ished not out on one and Matt Hope not out for four.

Ta i l ender Brendan Grogan kept his seat in the rooms and with the conclusion of 50 overs, Manypeaks were 9/181.

Collingwood Park were solid in the field with Nathan Dovey, Ben Grey and Ben Carter secur-ing one catch each and wicketkeeper Josh Duane taking two.

However, it is without

doubt that the extraor-dinary bowling perfor-mance of Hayden Burl-ing made the biggest contribution, securing a jaw dropping 5/32 off 10 overs: he was unstop-pable.

Add to this the perfor-mance of Bryce Jack-son with a terrifi c 2/34, one maiden off 10 overs and one wicket apiece to Carter and Grey.

Collingwood opened their batting with Josh Duane and Mathew He-berle. Alas, Heberle went for a duck on the fi rst ball and Grey went shortly after for four runs.

Dovey followed and

also went cheaply on two.Duane then went for 15. Captain Tim Pyle made a solid 21 but Park then lost another to a duck in Liam McDonald.

Bryce Jackson followed for 10.

Burling, not content with an awesome bowling spell, came in and slowed the onslaught.

Lachlan O’Shea then went for three, Carter for one and Burling eventu-ally headed to the rooms with 25, top scoring for the team.

Paul Barnett was the last man standing not out for one. At the conclusion of only 38.4 overs Colling-wood Park had made just 10/94.

Manypeaks’ captain Craig Sinclair was red hot with the ball securing a blistering 5/14, including a whopping fi ve maidens off just eight overs.

Grogan impressed with 2/12, two maidens off eight overs, Hope was solid delivering 2/21, one maiden off 9.4 overs and Todd Jefferis 1/10, two maidens off fi ve overs.

Grogan secured two catches, Kinnear and Jefferis one apiece and Shephard had a great day in the gloves with three.

The weather may have cleared on Sunday but the result added another convincing washout to the weekend and a victory to Manypeaks.

This weekend there are no matches scheduled and play resumes for Round 16 on Saturday, February 25 with North County playing Collingwood Park at Hard North, Den-mark against Railways at McLean Park while Manypeaks have the bye.

FIRST things fi rst: strong is strong and skinny is skinny. Yes, they are two different things. But for the purpose of this article we are recognising that in the past dec-ade, the pendulum has swung, and more and more women are aspir-ing to have a ‘strong’ body instead of trying to get ‘skinnier’.

In most cases, being strong comes with weighing more, but feeling better. But at the end of the day, you won’t be happy unless you are holistically strong: that is, strong in body, mind, and spirit.

A strong body can mean different things to different people. But the end goal is the same — functional fi tness. This is training your body so it can do what you need it to do when you need it to do it. You don’t have to bulk up to achieve this, but you do need to work at it.

Make sure you don’t neglect your body by sitting all day, watching TV on the couch all night, and in general, being lazy. So, get up and go for a walk, join a gym, attend a fi tness class, or go to yoga.

Strong in mind means working out your mind as you would your body (think puzzles, crosswords or a game of Scrabble). Instil in yourself the drive and temperament to keep moving forward, even when every-thing around you is falling apart.

Strong in spirit is how you ap-proach life. Remember the adage — ‘put on your own oxygen mask before you try to help others’. Invest some time to get to know yourself, your needs and your boundaries. Be grateful for being you.

The stronger you get, the more you’ll be able to do and the more you can enjoy what life has to offer. Having strength is a gift you give to yourself.

You are responsible for your health and overall wellbeing. It is you who chooses to exercise, not to smoke, to drink in moderation, to eat healthily, to meditate or pray, to use your mind, to refl ect and make adjustments, and to be the best, strongest expression of yourself. Or not. What choice will you make?
