Volunteer Awarded for Championing Firefighting Youth

A Dwellingup resident’s dedication to the future of fire-fighting was celebrated recently at an awards ceremony held by the Department of Fire and Emergency Ser-vices.

Dwellingup Bush Fire Brigade’s Bradley Warr received the Murray Lang Bush Fire Service of WA Award at the Fire and Emergency Services Awards Ceremony in early September, recognising his work with the Dwellingup Bushfire Cadets.

According to Shire President Cr. David Bolt, Murray’s local emergency service volunteers are an ever im-portant asset, particularly throughout the bushfire and storm seasons.

“Bradley’s selfless contribution to emergency services is indicative of the calibre of Murray volunteers, whose dedication is vital in strengthening and protecting our community.

“Instrumental in championing the emergency services responders of tomorrow, Bradley is commended for the support and leadership he offers firefighting youth.

“The Murray Lang Bush Fire Service of WA Award recognises individuals who have excelled in their service to the community, an award befitting of Bradley’s accomplishments.

“The Shire of Murray will continue to contribute towards and support the district’s Bushfire Brigade Cadets, realising positive benefits for the local community,” said Cr. Bolt.

Rural issues will be brought to the forefront of

Council’s agenda with the formation of a new

Rural Land Holders Reference Group

(RLHRG).

Members appointed to the group include Tor-

ben Sorensen, John Macaulay, Chris Birming-

ham, John Dawkins, John Birch and Doug

McLarty.

The RLHRG resulted from the abolishment of

the Rural Land Holders Advisory Committee

(RLHAC) which was found to be restrictive as

the group was required to function under

Council’s formal Meeting Procedures Local

Law.

If there are other local rural landowners who

would like to be considered for membership on

the RLHRG, expressions of interest can be

sent to Chief Executive Officer, Shire of Mur-

ray, PO Box 21, Pinjarra WA 6208 or to mail-

A Presentation by Murray Arts & Crafts Society

On the 4

th May this year Liveringa Gallery was delighted to

present a painting by the highly acclaimed Aboriginal art-ist, Shane Pickett to his cousin Barbara Bynder, formally Deputy Director of the Berndt Museum of Anthropology at the University of WA in Perth. Barbara, pictured here receiving the work from recently retired president of MAACS, Gwen Atkinson, enjoyed a significant connection to the society in past years as coor-dinator and teacher at Liveringa Gallery which she found-ed in 2001.

During her time there she arranged with Shane to hold a workshop where he demonstrated this art piece which he later donated to the gallery and was subsequently framed for display.

Sadly, Shane passed away in 2010 at the relatively young age of 52 after a career of more than thirty years creating vibrant works of art. He spent much of his youth at Quairading, a wheatbelt town in Western Australia where he was born. From a family of artists, he performed as an actor and dancer, but it is in the visual arts that he ex-celled. He graduated from the Claremont Art School in 1983, though he had begun exhibiting in 1976 when only nineteen.

Today Shane is regarded as one of the foremost Nyoon-gar artists who worked in Australia. He has exhibited in every state and territory throughout the land as well as in the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia and his paint-ings are held in major private and public collections throughout Australia and internationally. His talent has been recognised in numerous art awards and exhibitions.

People who met Shane, whose aboriginal name in his na-tive tongue, Balladong Nyoongar, means ‘shiny moon’, warmed to a gentle man who was unusually generous to other artists in showing them his techniques and how he worked. He was a man of great spirituality who chose not to adopt traditional styles or motifs yet drew deeply on his indigenous heritage in other ways. He described his inspi-ration differently from others. He once told his father Fred that his painting hand was directed by unseen spirits. “Dad, I hold the brush,” he said. “I don’t do the painting. It’s the spiritual thing that is doing it for me.” In fact it occurred to Barbara Bynder that the flash shining in the picture was Shane making his spiritual presence

known. Who could argue with that?

Barbara will be returning to her old stomping grounds at Edenvale in October later this year with the Kookaburra club, a ladies group which was founded by her mother Dorothy Bynder and friend Myrtle Mullally some thirty five years ago. The club was formed to provide Aboriginal women a safe environment to discuss their issues, partici-pate in craft activities and, more importantly, socialise with like-minded women.

Barbara spends a fair amount of time doing workshops with her ladies helping them to participate in various arts and crafts activities, such as the Yarn Bombing of the car park in front of the Berndt Museum. We are sure that was as entertaining as the ladies themselves. Barbara states that the Kookaburra Club members, just like their namesake, laugh a lot. We look forward to having a good laugh with them.

it.

These tiny, 3 mm long, black or brown insects seen

flying around drains, sewers, septic tanks and

sludgy soil are often the aptly named ‘drain fly’ or

‘sewer fly’ (Family Psychodidae). Due to their pres-

ence in the kitchen they are often mistaken for fruit

flies and ferment flies, but to understand another of

their common names, ‘moth fly’, you will have to get

up close to see their distinctive fluffy moth-like bod-

ies. Better yet, under the microscope, you can mar-

vel at the unique and beautiful patterns of their wing

veins, and they are pretty darn cute!

In the home, these flies need drains to breed and

feed, and lay their eggs (10-200 of them) in the or-

ganic matter build-up (grease, hair, miscellaneous

sludge). The eggs hatch within a few days and for

the next two weeks or so, the larvae live in and

happily eat the organic matter before pupating into

adults. Adults live for another couple of weeks and

repeat the life cycle. They are most active in the

evening and rest during the day on walls or other

flat surfaces.

Control

Drain flies are not dangerous to humans or pets but can be annoying when they build up in numbers, especially in the bathroom and kitchen. Squish or swat the adults and ensure you have clean drains, sewers, tanks and free draining, sewerage-free soil, so there’s no place to breed. Regularly cleaning these breeding sites with commercial products or

home-made remedies such as boiling water with vinegar, baking soda and salt will do the trick.

Well-known weed experts will present on weed I.D. and control at the upcoming Peel

Harvey Biosecurity Group Workshop.

With attendance costs covered by the Group, the free workshop is planned for the last week of October and is estimat-

ed to run for three hours.

The experts hosting the workshop bring forward decades of field experience in both bushland and pasture weed control.

Principle Research Scientist at the Department of Parks and Wildlife and co-author of Western Weeds: A guide to the

weeds of Western Australia , Greg Keighery, and Consultant

Quarantine Botanist and Rangeland Ecologist, Andrew Mitchell, will be on hand to answer even the most difficult of

questions.

The workshop is aimed at LGA officers, environmental professionals, and interested members of the public and repre-

sents an opportunity to get expert advice and support, not only for the declared weeds in your area but any stubborn

long-term problems or new incursions.

The workshop will include tips and hints on correct weed identification and highlight available resources for use out in

the field.

Weed identification is often the first step in effective management and can help when choosing the most effective con-

trol option, saving time and money.

Practical, effective, and interactive, this workshop will touch on current weed issues and will focus on local specimens

provided by attendees.

“It’s the type of workshop that can be attended by learned professionals or those that consider themselves inexperi-

enced when it comes to weed control.” Teele Hooper-Worrell,

Weed Officer for the Group, says “It’s not every day you get the opportunity to pick the brains of such experienced pro-

fessionals about local weed issues.”

The venue is TBC with Pinjarra the preferred location being central to the Peel Harvey region.

Interested parties have the opportunity to record their preferred times and days between Monday the 29th October to

Friday 2nd November when registering.

Interested participants can register by following the link on the Peel Harvey Biosecurity Group Facebook page or email-

ing [email protected].

Transplant Games

By the time you read this I will be on the Gold Coast taking part in the Australian Transplant

Games as part of the WA Team. This is my 2nd

Transplant Games and I will compete in a 5km race, a 5km walk, a min-

triathlon and 5 events in the swimming pool. For an ‘old fella’ in his 60s, I am very happy to be fit enough to take part in

this way, but it has been quite a journey.

In March 2014 a liver specialist at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital told me that without a liver transplant I would be dead in

3 months. Thankfully, four weeks later I received a new liver as a gift from a family who had just lost a loved one. Their

decision was really a gift of life to me. Going to my second Australian Transplant Games is one way of celebrating their

generosity while they were grieving the loss of a family member.

Another type of generosity has been shown to me this year as people in our community have helped me to get to the

Gold Coast Transplant Games. Pinjarra Rotary has been generous with financial help, as has the Murray Shire. Joe at

Sportspower Pinjarra surprised me with a pair of quality running shoes for my competition. I have been training hard

leading up to the Games and I have been so grateful to Caitlin Nesbitt at Pinjarra Physiotherapy for keeping my legs in

good shape with her amazing massage work. I am very thankful for this support and encouragement. However, my

greatest thanks must still go out to that unknown family who gave me the ability to still be here celebrating life!

Organ donation is a vital to the lives of many people, and unfortunately some do not make it as far as getting a

transplant. Australia has some of the best facilities and staff in the world for transplants. In WA we have the Liver &

Kidney transplant units at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, and the Heart & Lung Transplant units at Fiona Stanley

Hospital. However, the best facilities and medical staff mean nothing if the donor rate is low, something that is the case

in Australia when compared to some other countries.

ing that Community Resource Centres throughout the State continue to receive Government support

Without CRCs many people who need assistance in setting up and using technology such as phones

and tablets, using online services like applying for or renewing Passports, accident reports, MyGov,

and employment applications, would lose the support provided.

Robyn and Colin have demonstrated a genuine understanding of the needs of their constituents.

Better Portion Control

If it was all so simple more than two thirds of the Australian

population wouldn’t be overweight today. Hypnosis not only helps

you eat less but, it can also help you better control your appetite

while raising your awareness of key body signals thus helping you

better determine when your stomach is full so that you can stop

eating.

“I noticed I couldn’t eat as much as before after my first session.”

Kerry M.

Organized eating schedules

When people lack organized eating schedules, it’s quite common

for them to snack on the wrong food. Skipping breakfast and lunch

only to binge on takeaway foods or late-night snacks is a recipe for

obesity. Hypnosis can ease you into a routine you can live with –

shopping and preparing meals for the days ahead. It turns a once

tedious task into a natural, healthier schedule.

Improved water intake

If regular intake of fresh, healthy water is a problem for you then

hypnosis might be the solution. Hypnosis builds an awareness of

the benefits of regular water intake during your weight loss journey

which in turn, improves your overall well-being. Hypnosis introduces

water as a regular, enjoyable part of your day which guarantees

constant hydration and added assistance when fighting unhealthy

cravings.

Elimination of unhealthy cravings

When you allow cravings to take control, not only do you jeopardize

your weight loss journey but you also guarantee that it will almost

always be in charge. Regardless of how hard you work out or how

clean your diet is, untamed cravings always erase any progress

being made. With the help of hypnosis, you can eliminate your

cravings and ensure that your regimen remains beneficial and

disciplined so you can get the best results possible.

Greater movement

Let’s face it … not everyone loves to exercise. It can be exhausting

both physically and mentally. Hypnosis can help you find creative

ways to not only move more but also enjoy it. It can restore

depleted energy and motivation levels while encouraging you to

focusing on things that you enjoy. For example, if you love taking

long walks on the beach, hypnosis will allow you to focus on that

instead of breaking your spirits while trying to accommodate a

routine you are simply not comfortable with.

Improved mental well-being

Excess weight retention is caused by multiple factors that include stress, sadness, low self-esteem, guilt or even boredom. Hypnosis can provide a clear perspective of your lifestyle Conclusion

We all want to be around for that next, special occasion. With the

help of hypnosis, you can make better life choices and manage

your diet and regimen accordingly so that you can lower your

chances of having a stroke, heart attack or developing chronic

obesity-related diseases.

7 Ways Hypnosis Can Help with Weight Loss

What if you could develop a different image of food? Imagine having no guilt about leaving food on your plate ‘or’ the tri-umphant feeling of turning down offers for more food. You can accomplish all of that and so much more with the help of hypnosis. Here are the 7 benefits of using hypnosis to combat excess weight:

Cinnamon and Honey

Whoever thought?

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what

some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when

left in a cool dark place for a long time it will crystallise. (Jarrah honey does not

do this) If this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey con-

tainer in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it

ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the en-

zymes in the honey.

COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one table-

spoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days.

This process will relieve most chronic coughs, colds, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken with cinnamon powder relieves stomach

ache and also stomach.

GAS: According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that if

Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

BAD BREATH: People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with

one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their

breath stays fresh throughout the day.

Hypertension

Once again, TerryWhite Chemmart has teamed with the

Heart Foundation Australia this year. The heart founda-

tion is a fabulous not for profit organisation which fund

life saving heart research and work to improve heart

disease prevention and care for all Australians.

Right now, 1.4 million Australians are living with heart

disease, and each year more than 55,000 Australians

suffer a heart attack. Together we are out to change

that.

Even though free blood pressure checks are available in

our store all year around, to celebrate our partnership

we will be conducting a massive national screening

campaign. Screening is very important as hypertension

rarely has warning signs, for this reason it is commonly

known as the silent killer. Blood pressure will vary from

day to day and even within different times of the day. It

depends on the amount of fluid in your body, medica-

tions in your system and what you are doing when your

blood pressure is measured. It is also affected by your

body position, breathing, emotions, exercise and sleep.

Your blood pressure is usually lowest when you are

sleeping. It rises when you are excited, stressed or exer-

cising. Temporary rises are natural and your blood pres-

sure returns to normal with rest. These constant chang-

es make it difficult to get a true picture of your blood

pressure. To get a more accurate picture it is important

that it is monitored regularly. We make this easy by

providing these screening services in our private consult

room.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a condition where

your blood pressure is consistently higher than normal.

This is a serious problem as it may lead to damage to

your blood vessels, heart , brain and other important

organs. If high blood pressure is not controlled, your

heart and arteries can be become overloaded. High

blood pressure can speed up the build up of plaque on

the artery walls (atherosclerosis), clogging blood flow to

the heart and other vital organs. This may lead to seri

ous health problems such as heart attack and stroke.

Many people will need to take medicines to control their

high blood pressure. These medicines do not cure high

blood pressure , but help to reduce it. It is likely once

commenced, you will be on these medications long term

and it is important they are taken regularly as per in-

structions. Unfortunately all medications can have side

effects, but their positive health benefits generally out-

weigh any negative effects. For tips on how best to man-

age your medication or any other queries, our pharma-

cists are always available and happy to help.

Lifestyle changes can also help in reducing high blood

pressure. Maintain a healthy body weight and be physi-

cally active. You should aim for at least 30 minutes of

moderate physical activity daily. Limit alcohol consump-

tion and of course no smoking at all! Have a healthy

balanced diet, decrease the amount of salt and fat in the

diet and increase fruit and vegetables.

For more information on maintaining a healthy blood

pressure level, please come instore and talk to our phar-

macists and we can provide a free blood pressure check

on the spot.

Helping you look after yourself better!

This month’s big event was our Anniversary Festival on 16 September. Despite the precinct area

being restricted by the construction work going on for the turntable installation patrons turned up in

the hundreds to enjoy the day. They were entertained with live music in the Gazebo whilst visiting

the Local Craft stalls where staff had joined in the atmosphere by dressing up for the occasion in

vintage clothing. Other displays included steam driven machinery, tractors and vintage cars.

Hotham Members were kept busy serving Devonshire Teas from the Restaurant Car. Patrons

took time to soak up the ambience of the dining car and contemplated making a booking for a

Saturday evening. Other members were occupied selling Railway Pies and Sausage Rolls from

the Mullewa car giving a glimpse of a bygone era to the younger generation.

With both morning and afternoon Steam Ranger services fully booked out before the day it

relieved Station staff with some of the pressure in issuing tickets. However, as the Forest Train was operating ‘walk ups’

created a full load also on both services. Consequently, the number of passenger carried on one day at Dwellingup was

a record for the Railway. From the comments posted on Facebook and received by members there was a high

acceptance that it was a fantastic day at Dwellingup to experience the activities.

During the month work has continued on the track work associated with the installation of the turntable. As can be seen

in the photo many metres are now in place ready for ballasting once the final leg has been completed.

Bookings for the Christmas Restaurant Train are now open.

Murray Students Join in National Celebration of All things Books

Murray school students joined peers from across Australia, in the celebration of books, literacy as well as Australian authors and illustrators, as part of 2018 Book Week.

Murray’s Book Week program, facilitated by Murray Library, saw over 350 primary school students and over 50 high school students, meet respected Australian authors, for first-hand accounts of their literary journeys and cap-tivating characters and stories.

The Program commenced at Pinjarra Primary School, when Mark Greenwood visited the year four students and conducted creative writing sessions with year eight and nine students at Pinjarra High School.

On Thursday of Book Week, Pinjarra Primary School year three and five students were entertained by David Cad-dy, as were the group of home-schoolers who attended an event at Murray Library.

Tamara Moss concluded the Program on Thursday 20 September with a visit to North Dandalup and Dwellingup Primary Schools for a meet-and-greet with upper primary students and years four to six at Carcoola Primary School.

According to Shire President Cr. David Bolt, Book Week is a wonderful opportunity to connect with younger residents, to share in the celebration of Australian talent and reinforce the importance and enjoyment of reading and creative writing.

Book Week is run toward the end of August each year and is an initiative of The Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA), a not for profit, volun-teer run organisation, engaging the community with literature for young Australians.

Murray’s Book Week program is proudly supported by Department of Local Government, Sports and Cultural Industries, Lotterywest, Healthway promot-

ing the Go for 2&5 health message and the WA Children’s Book Council of Australia.

October 2018 in the Garden—John Bodycoat

Feel your Garden with your heart and soul. Wonder at its creation and at the inner beauty of its intricate structure.

September has been kind to us with a wet winter and a dryish September in our regions. Rainfall has been great up to now and this has given our gardens a great watering without turning on our taps from mains water. Roses in October are often plagued with fungal diseases such as black spot and powdery mildew. You can spray these bushes with a home brew of 9 litres of soapy water and 8 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda, which will help control black spot. For powdery mildew mix 1 part milk with 5-10 parts of water reduces mildew. For black spot using a fungicide spray prune away the infected leaves and rake up fallen leaves under the plant. Spray with a copper based product and water in the mornings and avoid spraying the rose leaves. There are some rose varieties that are resistant to black spot. The fungus Diplocarpon can cause considerable damage to your roses if left unchecked. Eggplants or aubergines require more heat than tomatoes but like to have similar conditions to grow in. Being slow growing, they require a long hot growing season which we experience in the Peel, Harvey and Murray regions. They were originally from Asia but adopted by the Mediterranean people, they thrive in warm to hot semi humid weather. Egg plants will survive and grow for up to 4 years in frost free areas and still produce enough fruit for an average family. Corn should be planted now as this is the best time, so go grow your corn in September and October as either seedlings or seeds. But this year get out of your comfort zone and instead of planting in rows plant your corn in blocks of 20 -50 plants. This is mainly because as I have seen better results from corn planted in blocks than rows in my garden. By planting in a square gives the pollen from the male flowers more of a chance to pollinate the female flowers as pollination is done from the wind and pollen is trapped in these blocks. Common sense stuff eh. So good luck, and try this method this year.

Liquid feed your vegetables during the summer with kelp and fish fertiliser which encourages growth especially in lettuce. Lettuce should be planted out every 3-4 weeks, a punnet at a time. Protect these vegetables from snails and slugs. Another liquid fertiliser to use is a worm wee and this is great on strawberries so attempt this now to your strawberry patch. It’s now time to get mulch into your garden beds before the summer heat hits your plants, using your own compost or purchasing a good mulch from local nurseries. Apply about 50mm -75mm on your beds. Tropical fruit and avocado trees will require more. I like to add baa poo with this and if you are on sandy white soil apply a handful of dolomite. Animal Manures There are many benefits to use animal manures in your flower and vegetable beds in the home garden. Manures are very important for your soil as they add nutrients, phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium. NPK. Manures also improves the soils structure, its moisture holding capacity, the soil aeration and water infiltration. These things combined to help make your plants healthier and disease resistant. Manures increase the biological life in your soils as well as feeding the microbes in our soils. The NPK Content in animal manure varies from the different species of animals and animal manures are also biodegradable and renewable. ( much more on this subject in the November issue) Ever thought what the writing on the back of the packets of fertiliser you purchase from your Nursery mean. I do get many calls from gardeners asking not only about their failed lemon tree, but also what type of fertiliser do I put into my gardens. If you use chicken or cow manure, make sure it is well rotted. Our local soils are sandy so we have a low pH which means the soils require lime, so always use Dolomite as it contains Calcium or Ca and Magnesium or Mg. Lime contains Calcium only.

Organic Fertilisers are derived from an organic source, meaning from something that was once living. They have a variable composition. So this makes it hard to know exactly how much N, P and K is being supplied. Here are the organic fertilisers in N.P.K These do vary.

Nutrient Symbol Use by the Plant

Nitrogen N Promotes green leafy growth

Phosphorous P Provides energy and promotes root growth

Potassium K Improves flowers and fruit colour and quality

Iron Fe Makes chlorophyll

Organic Fertiliser N P K

Blood and Bone 4.5-5.0% 5 0

What to do in your garden in October. Check all your irrigation equipment in the garden as the warm weather we will get in October will dry out our garden beds and watering is essential for our plants to survive fur-ther spring warm days. Feed your lawns now after you have mowed your lawns low to cut out your weed seed heads. Remember when using potting mix it is your responsibility to wear gloves and a mask to prevent inhaling dust and other nasties. Always water the potting mixes to reduce dust and spores especially Legionnaires disease infection. Legionnaires infection is a serious disease and can be seri-ous if not treated quickly by visiting your friendly doctor. Unlike other micro-organisms Legionnaires is not conta-gious. Plant out your citrus now. Fertilise and mulch all your fruit trees. Check your fruit trees for Med Fly and put in your fly baits. Cover early nectarine trees with netting to prevent birds feasting on them before you get to eat your fruit. Loquats are now ready so harvest these before birds and fruit fly attack them.

Environmental Tips for October Plant out now into your garden or property native shrubs and trees for wind protection, shade and to encourage birds, insects, animals into your garden and onto your prop-erty. It is never too late to do this if you have access to water. Pull out all weeds to stop these plant seeds from spreading and growing again next year. In Australia we have nearly 20 million wild cats, each cat eats about 3-4 birds, mammals or lizards a day so please do not drop your un wanted kittens or cats out in the bush to turn out to be wild cats. Take them to a vet or cat haven, or better still have your cat sterilised so she cannot have babies. This can save up to 60 million animals a day Australia wide. About half of these moggies are in Western Australia. Put out water for birds in your garden during the warm start to our spring days.

Corn Plant corn by seed now in a well prepared soil with plenty of compost and animal manures. Corn should be planted in clumps of 20-50 plants for a better pollination.

Tomato Plant out your seedlings now so you can have your first fruit ready for Christmas day salads. I like to cut off the bottom row of leaves on your plants and bury the plant deeper into your well prepared soil. This enables your tomato plant to grow a lot more roots as they reach out for nutrients in the soil.

Egg Plant Plant out 4 egg plants into your garden. This will give your and all your neighbours mobs of fruit for the summer.

Cucumber Cucumbers like a well prepared soil with plenty of blood and bone. Try apple cucumbers.

Pumpkin Pumpkins should be sown now into a well prepared soil consisting of blood and bone and sheep or well rotted chicken manure. Try every ones favourite butternut, Queensland blue or even a trombone type pumpkin, The Dutch crooked neck.

Beans Plant out 40 plants into your garden then you will have a supply of beans throughout the summer. You can stagger 20 plants a month over 3 months for even more beans.

Melons, Water and Rock

Plant out 50water melon seedlings and 10 rock melon seedlings and this will give you a good supply over summer and autumn. These plants require plenty of water and fertiliser especially blood and bone.

Squash If you like this vegetable and you should as it is quite easy to grow plant out 10 seedlings now.

Herbs Most herbs including mint, parsley, are suitable to our spring weather and can be purchased from your local nursery.

Sturts Desert Pea

Plant your Sturt Peas into your garden for a different display this year.

Summer Bulb Collection

Ask at your local nursery for advice on planting these out. There are many varieties to choose from.
