The next General Meeting of the Macarthur Advancement & Development Association Inc.

AGM Wednesday 14th September 6.30pm at the Macarthur Senior Citizens rooms

Declaration Day!

On Sunday August 7th locals and supporters from around the district gathered at Suffoir Winery to send a message to the State and Federal Governments that the residents of the Macarthur/Bessiebelle area are overwhelmingly opposed to Unconventional Gas Extraction. This is

only one step in what could become a long campaign to protect country communities and farmland. It was disappointing that there were very few Macarthur residents in attendance. If we are to be successful in stopping

this form of gas extraction, we will need to work together as a community to protect the health of our people and our farmland.

Bowel Health -

A Naturopathic Perspective

The bowel is an important part of our body's ex-

cretory organ in removing solid wastes with liquid

out of the body. Maintaining a healthy bowel is a

crucial key to retain our physiological body in a

good state of homeostasis, to keep us away from

bowel problems such as constipation, irritable

bowel syndrome and bowel cancer. Any changes

in the color, texture or the presence of blood in

stools always warrant an immediate check up with

your medical practitioner.

To keep the bowel healthy, a large proportion of

our diet has to be made of low fat, high fibers from

fruits and vegetables. Cutting down consumption

of processed meat and eating more natural produce

will prove beneficial in the long run. Cultivating a

daily toilet habit will help to prevent constipation

and bowel toxemia (intoxication in bowel).

Daily consumption of 2 liters of water, apart

from other fluids will help to rehydrate our body

and the bowel, while taking food enriched with pro-

biotics (friendly bacteria) such as yogurt or kimchi

(fermented vegetables) will help to improve the

bowel's functions.

Holistically, reducing stress, adopting a new

healthy life style with a balanced diet, doing regular exercise and taking good rest will help to improve your bowel health.

Macarthur & District Historical Society

The Macarthur & District Historical Society Held

their AGM at the Macarthur Hotel on 21st July 2016.

A good turnout of 28 people attended including Life

Member Maurie Sullivan and guest speaker Cathie

Baulch.

The election of office bearers took place during the

dinner and they are:

President: Geoff Sharrock

Vice-President: Andrew Duyvestyn

Secretary: Bernie Warren

Treasurer: Roger Moodie

All financial members are committee members.

Guest speaker Cathie gave a very interesting and

informative talk on the disastrous Kirkstall Hotel on

the 18th March 1894. The fire claimed three lives, in-

cluding the Macarthur Hotel publican, Mr Thomas

James Humphreys. Mr Humphreys lost his life while

trying to save others. There were thirteen people stay-

ing at the Hotel that night.

Mr Humphreys was held in such high esteem in the

Macarthur community that 38 pounds was collected to

have a marble plaque made in his honour.

The Historical society are the caretakers of this

plaque and now the full story is known will erect it in

the Courthouse grounds with all relative information

beside it.

The restoration and painting of the Courtroom and

office has now been completed and it all looks really

good. The big job is now to put everything back

again. Secretary Bernie has the huge task of setting

up the office again. Nathalie Gash has kindly offered

her assistance to do this to do this. If anyone else

would like to help please give Bernie a call.

The next meeting will be held on Thursday 6th

October in the RSL Club rooms at 7.30pm.

I would like to take this opportunity to again thank

all the members for their support and assistance in

making the restoration project happen.

Geoff Sharrock

President

I don’t have the internet and would like to continue receiving a printed copy of the Macarthur

News.

My Name is………………………………………

Address…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Remember, we are going digital!

Don’t miss out!

In order to continue providing a free monthly

paper we have decided to go digital. Currently we

distribute 300 copies of the Macarthur News to the

town and surrounding properties. The paper is print-

ed free but in order for this service to continue we

need to reduce the number of copies we print.

From November the paper will only be delivered

to households in Macarthur. People living out of

town can opt to have a digital copy emailed to them

each month. One of the advantages of a digital paper

is that it is provided in colour. Households without

the internet can request that a copy be sent to them by

post.

Registering for a digital copy is easy! Send an email

to the Editor at [email protected] with the

phrase “Mac News digital” in the subject box and we

will do the rest. Your email address will not be given

to any other party without your permission.

People requiring a copy by mail need to complete

the tear off section below and send to The Editor,

Macarthur News, 37 High Street, Macarthur 3286.

Remember, this applies only to people living out of

town at this time.

Once we have this process working properly we

will be looking at providing a digital copy for people

living in Macarthur so we would like to hear from

you too. If you would prefer a digital copy send an

email as above with the words “Mac News town digi-

tal.” For the time being all households in Macarthur

will continue to receive a printed copy of the paper,

but once the logistics are sorted out we will switch

you to digital as well.

Eventually we expect to only be printing enough

copies to cover households without the internet but it

will only work if you send us your details. Don’t

leave it till the last minute, contact us as soon as

possible so we can make sure no-one misses out on

their copy! A very big thank you to those people who

have already contacted me with their details.
