CENTENNIAL PARK 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DON! 100 YEARS ON 29 JULY 

Don Alexander was born on 29 July 1909 at 

Pentone Farm situated on the Nanga Brook 

Road in a small dirt floored hut in where his 

parents, Ernest Bloomfield Alexander a farm 

labourer and Annie Mary Alexander (nee 

Burley), lived with their family. He beat the 

midwife that Ernest had gone for by arriving 

while she was hurrying to the farm. 

In the next year 1910 his 

parents purchased a small 

holding in Roberts Road 

Hamel. The home here wasn’t 

much bigger but it sheltered 

the family. Ernest worked his 

holding and also continued to 

work for farmers in the 

Waroona district and as Don 

grew older he began to go with 

his father to build many of the 

fences in the area and clearing 

properties with only a horse, dray, pick and 

shovel. His three brothers and sister were 

in school at Hamel. 

In 1916 at the age of seven he began his 

schooling at the Hamel School leaving in 

1923. He continued with correspondence 

schooling for two years whilst working in the 

area. In about 1925 he was apprenticed to 

the Forestry Department moving to a 

number of areas including Mundaring Weir 

Forest where he helped in the planting of 

the trees in the Museum Car Park. He also 

worked in the forest in felling trees which 

went to help keep the furnaces burning. 

In 1932 he left the Forestry Department and 

went potato growing in the Hamel area. In 

1935 he joined Nestlés as they begun the 

production of condensed milk, working there 

until 1942 when he joined the RAAF as a 

trainee Aircraft Engineer. His training took 

place as Ascot Vale in Melbourne and he 

was then posted to workshops 

at Pearce, Kalgoorlie and 

Darwin from where he often 

flew as Flight Engineer on 

Catalinas when there was a 

shortage of flight crew. He was 

demobbed Christmas 1946 

and rejoined Nestlés in the 

New Year. The next year saw 

him working with Whittakers 

Mills as a hand feller, later as 

a circular saw bush feller and 

then as a log hauler with a 35 hp tractor. 

In 1955 as a recession began he took work 

with the Narembeen Shire as a grader driver, 

and then returned to Waroona the next year 

to work at the Waroona Hotel as a barman 

where he worked for the next eleven years. 

He rejoined Nestles for a few years and was 

finally with the Public Works Department as 

a leading hand until he retired at 65 in 1974. 

During all of these years Don played many 

sports, including tennis and was a 

foundation member of the Hamel Tennis

JUNE RAINFALL 

June started with hope with light rain 

over the first few days. Winter really 

arrived in the final two weeks when 

we were treated to high winds and rain 

and more rain. A total of 199.0mm was 

recorded in the gauge over 19 rainy 

days. This is only 10.9mm short of 

our annual June average of 209.9mm. 

Total rainfall to date is 300.2mm - a 

much healthier figure than the end of 

last month. 

Highest recorded rainfall for June was 

537.5mm in 1945, a very wet year, and 

lowest was 42.4 in 2006 - a very dry 

year.

WAROONA SENIOR CITIZENS 

Our updated constitution has been 

presented at the special meeting and the 

appropriate resolutions passed by the 

members. It has now been sent to DOCEP 

and we are now awaiting their approval. 

Our hall is in the process of getting a new 

ceiling and some new paintwork and we 

are looking forward to seeing a very 

refreshed building. We are not sure 

exactly how long this will take and as our 

next meeting is on Wednesday July 29th please ring a committee member to check 

where our meeting will be held. 

We would like to express our appreciation 

for all the help and advice we have 

received for both the constitution and the 

hall. 

The next meeting will be our AGM and you 

are asked to bring a plate of food for 

afternoon tea. 

Best wishes go out to our unwell members 

and also to other members of the 

Waroona community who are suffering ill 

health.

Where do the months go? I must be 

getting old as they go so quickly. 

We held our AGM and all were returned 

to their positions. Either our members 

can’t bear to lose us as we are so good, 

or no one can be bothered to take our 

place. 

Committe is: President - Eileen Doran, 

Secretary - Dot Hansen, Treasurer - Jan 

Lepper, Sen V President - Yvonne Hill- 

Warner, Jun V President - Mary Magro. 

We had a really good day out with the 

Senior Citizens on 4 June. We caught a 

ferry from Mandurah to lunch at the 

Clansman in Yunderup. It was fun looking 

at all the outstanding canal houses and 

picking our favourite. We then decided it 

would be too much housework and we 

would keep our own homes. We also saw 

a few dolphins which was exciting. In all 

a great excursion and we are looking 

forward to the next one. 

THANK YOU 

“Many thanks to the people of Waroona 

for donating so generously and willingly 

to the 2009 Red Shield Appeal. The total 

was a fine $1670.20.”

To the Editor: 

While walking around the golf course this 

autumn, I have noticed that it is starting 

to present more like a golf course. In fact, 

the golf course is improving every year as 

the environment gradually transforms from 

scrub to a golf course. It is important to 

have nature reserves where the general 

public can enjoy the flora and fauna, in 

fact many exist in the Waroona Shire, it is 

equally important that golfers can actually 

enjoy playing golf on the golf course. It is 

also important to note that the general 

public are putting themselves at risk by 

wandering around a perceived nature 

strip, that’s why I don’t hit golf balls on the 

nature strip near your home! 

Pete Duncan 

Ed: I muist apologise for not making clear 

that the articles last month regarding the 

golf club and cricket grounds were actually 

letters to the editor. There was a lot of 

verbal response to these letters but 

unfortunately only one person took up his 

pen.

SAVING ENERGY 

Electricity Tariffs increased by 15% on 1 July. 

Here are a few simple tips to help reduce 

your power usage and you bill and help 

prevent emissions from entering our 

beautiful skies. 

Set your air conditioning at 21 o in winter 

and 24 o in summer. Each degree over 

21 increases your usage by 20%. Use 

jumpers, socks & leg warmers. 

Turn down the thermostat on your fridge 

in winter 

Turn off your kitchen appliances at the 

power point when they are not in use. 

Make it a habit to turn lights off when 

not using a room. Minimise your lighting 

when watching TV. Turn your TV off at 

the power point. 

Use a senor light outside rather than 

have a front light burning all night. The 

cat, or dog, can see without a light. 

CFL globes, although initially more 

expensive to purchase, consume less 

energy and last eight to ten times longer 

than old style bulbs. 

Turn off your computer monitor and 

printer when not in use. 

Remember if it is not switched on it won’t 

cost you.

June continues to be a busy month in more 

ways than one. The building application for 

the new secure wing has been lodged with 

the Shire and Respite Care Manager Janet 

Fiorenza is already developing a waiting list. 

The $3,000,000 project will be a great boost 

for aged care in both the Waroona District 

and the Peel Region. 

Another interesting scenario will be the 

choice of name for the new wing and leading 

choice at the moment is “Dilkara “, which in 

aboriginal means rainbow, nominated by 

Rhonda McNeill. Popular also are wildflower 

names in keeping with the other. If a 

sponsor comes forward with a substantial 

contribution the new wing title may have to 

reflect that input. Staff, family members 

and the community are encouraged to 

register their suggestions. If the works 

construction schedule remains on track we 

will be looking at occupancy in December 

2010 or January 2011. 

Sadly we have said farewell to three 

residents in the last couple of weeks. Maria 

Maiolo, our oldest resident, was the grand 

age of 99.5 years and we offer deepest 

sympathy to Lil and all the Maiolo family 

members. Another resident Ben Vincent 

bade farewell and his last rendition of 

Amazing Grace the Friday night before he 

passed away brought a tear to staff eyes. 

NEWS FROM PAM CORKER 

Ben was a resident for over eight years and 

his contribution as Flag Marshall of the 

Corker vegie patch will be sadly missed. 

Sincere condolences to Tony and Barbara 

and all family members including 

grandchildren who were extremely close to 

their pop. Elva Bunworth “Bunny” was 

number three to say goodbye and again was 

a long term resident for over nine years. 

Bunny was her long standing nickname from 

her Nulsen Haven Club days when an active 

member at Yarloop many moons ago. 

Condolences are again extended to Bernie, 

Maxine, Kathleen and families on the sad 

loss of Bunny who was a real character. 

Care Manager Janet Fiorenza whose 

palliative and aged care leadership is 

second to none has arranged a debriefing 

bereavement counselling session to allow 

staff to come to terms with these losses. 

Rooms have been quickly refurbished as 

Pam Corker has a waiting list of over thirty 

people. We welcome Thelma Folizanni who 

has transferred from the Quambie Park Units 

and Warren “Scruffy” Turner to Pam Corker 

House as permanent residents. 

The Quambie Park Community Bus has 

been in demand as staff,friends and unit 

residents have travelled to Harvey and 

Bunbury to say a formal goodbye to Ben and

Bunny. Jo Weston the CACP Coordinator 

showed her versatility when she held the fort 

for four hours to allow staff to pay their 

respects on Friday at Bunny’s funeral 

service. Jo will be excited this week as she 

and her staff take delivery of a new Getz 

station wagon with a five star safety rating 

to service the clients. Community Care 

needs are increasing on a weekly basis and 

the respite room at Pam Corker has been 

booked out till mid September. 

Congratulations to Care Manager Janet 

Fiorenza for being chosen as a state finalist 

in the Excellence in Care Awards “Employee 

Section” conducted by Aged and Community 

Services WA. Janet was chosen in the final 

three as one of nine nominees. The awards 

ceremony was held in the Astral Room at 

the Burswood Casino Complex and she was 

well supported by having three Board 

Members present to witness the 

presentation ceremony compered by Trevor

ten from Quambie Park Waroona. Even 

though not chosen as the category winner 

Janet was the winner in our eyes and an 

excellent ambassador for Pam Corker 

House Waroona on a state level. 

Pam Corker House again has greatly 

benefited from community donations and 

Waroona Lions Club have come to the fore 

with a donation to allow the home to 

purchase two more Arjo Huntleigh Minuet 

Hi/Lo Beds to meet the care needs of 

residents and ensure care staff complete 

their tasks in a safe working environment. 

Lions club officials Grant Hewett and Larry 

Scott recently handed over a cheque to 

Chairman Michael Walmsley to cover the 

cost of those purchases. Resident John 

Hayden was involved in proceedings and 

gave a first hand demonstration of how 

effective the new equipment was. Thank you 

Waroona Lions. 

The last week has seen winter finally arrive 

and residents enjoying their Split System Air

the Board of Management. 

TO MY MATE BEN: 

I met a stranger who became my friend. 

Could this friendship last? 

That depends. 

We knew one would go before the other. 

So we treated one and other as a brother. 

Well I survived the other 

And I’m the one I know will suffer. 

Special memories of our trips to the 

Pinjarra Trots and the big game of 

Dominoes will keep me smiling. 

Friendships last forever.

SCHOOLS TREE DAY – PLANTING AT PISCONERI PARK 

The Shire of Waroona and the Staff of the 

Waroona Landcare Centre are planning to 

revegetate the open areas of Pisconeri Park. 

“In recent years Pisconeri Park has been 

overgrown with love grass and other weeds. 

We are working to replace the weeds with 

local native species to beautify the area and 

encourage birds to return by providing 

natural habitat within the town,” said Director 

of Community Services, Steve Cleaver. 

Two local school groups will be helping to 

plant the seedlings on National Schools Tree 

Day which this year falls on Friday the 31 st 

July. Natural Resource Management Officer 

at the Waroona Landcare Centre Colleen 

Archibald explained how students love to get 

out of the classroom and get their hands dirty 

for a good cause. Planting a seedling and 

In May we read books by 

Linda Fairstein. She is one 

of America’s foremost legal 

experts on crimes of 

violence against women 

and children and as a 

criminal prosecutor for the 

Manhattan District 

Attorney’s Office during the 1970’s and early 

1980’s she dealt with many high profile 

cases. She began writing at this time and 

later, when she had retired from the 

Attorney’s Office, she was an expert 

consultant on many television shows and 

series. Her books draw on her many years 

of experience. 

Opinions on her books were varied, and 

some members felt they had been padded 

out to make the required number of pages 

whilst others found that the books they had 

read were well constructed and felt that she 

knew her subject very well. 

This month (June) we have been reading 

novels by Val McDermid. One of her 

numerous heroes(ines) is Clinical 

Psychologist Dr Tony Hill, the lead character 

of the television series “Wire in the Blood”. 

She also writes about Lindsay Gordon a

learning about the many benefits to the 

environment are valuable experiences for 

all students. 

More information about National Tree Day, 

Australia’s biggest community tree planting 

event which is co-ordinated by Planet Ark 

can be found on the internet at 

www.treeday.planetark.org/about/ Planting 

native trees and shrubs makes a positive 

difference to our environment while providing 

an opportunity for schools to come together 

under the umbrella of one event. Native 

trees, shrubs and ground covers help to 

provide food and shelter for our local wildlife 

and will lead to an increase in natural 

biodiversity. 

For more information please call Steve 

Cleaver at the Shire of Waroona 9733 7800 

journalist and Kate Brannigan a private 

investigator and there are a number of books 

in each of these series. 

McDermid grew up in a small town on the 

east coast of Scotland in the heart of the 

Fife Coalfield. At 17 she was one the 

youngest undergraduates ever accepted to 

read English at St Hilda’s College, Oxford. 

She spent many years as a journalist and 

ended her career as the Northern Bureau 

Chief of a national Sunday tabloid. She 

began writing novels at 21 without much 

success and later turned the book into a play 

which was adapted for television as “Like a 

Happy Ending”. She then turned her hand 

to crime novels and in 1987 wrote “Report 

for Murder ”, which had some success. She 

was then able to write fulltime and since then 

she has had unqualified success. 

She writes a well constructed plot, often 

beginning with a minor occurrence which, 

with many twists and turns, leads to a major 

crime having been committed. Her lead 

characters are easy to associate with and 

the story telling simple to follow. All in all, a 

good read. 

Til next month HAPPY READING.

Don’t forget to vaccinate your pet! 

It is important to vaccinate your animals 

regularly. 

In the case of dog owners, we commonly 

see the following frustrating scenario: 

Owner comes in with a sick pup/ young 

dog; our first question is: “Is this animal 

fully vaccinated?” Answer: “Yeah, when 

I got it at 8 weeks of age the breeder 

said it was fully vaccinated, that lasts 

forever, doesn’t it!” Unfortunately this 

particular pup is unprotected because it 

never had its full puppy vaccination 

course! There is a lot of suffering going 

on because of ignorance and slackness. 

There is currently some discussion as 

to how often to give annual boosters, 

especially in cats, but current 

recommendations are that annual 

boosters are required once the primary 

course has been established. Details of 

specific vaccination programs and the 

diseases they cover can be obtained 

from your vet. 

Reminder to all rabbit owners, rabbits 

should be vaccinated to protect against 

Calicivirus, at 3 months of age and given 

an annual booster every year.

Feline Urinary Tract disease 

Feline urinary tract disease (FLUTD) is 

a condition were mineral salt crystallize 

and begin to accumulate in the cat’s 

urinary tract. When these crystals enter 

the urethra they are quite irritating (sharp) 

and may result in partial or complete 

blockages. Thus the cat will start to show 

discomfort during or immediately after 

urinating. The urine may be blood tinged 

and blockage of the urinary tract may 

eventually prove fatal. FLUTD is life 

threatening once complete urethral 

obstruction occurs. 

FLUTD can affect both male and female 

cats it is more commonly seen in males 

due to the narrower and longer urethral 

passage. FLUTD can be a re-occurring 

condition, but with the aid of preventative 

diets the incidence of relapse can be 

reduced. 

Signs to alert you to FLUTD include 

frequently urinating either in small 

amounts or obvious straining and/or 

blood in the urine. If you notice these 

symptoms please contact a vet ASAP!

There is bad news for hoon drivers and 

those who drive without a valid license as 

the Road Traffic Amendment (Hoons) Bill 

2009 is to be introduced in Parliament this 

week. 

South West MLC, Nigel Hallett said under 

the new legislation, reckless driving will 

be considered a hoon offence, with police 

not having to establish a circumstance of 

aggravation, such as racing, excessive 

noise or burnouts. The period a vehicle 

is impounded will also increase to 28 days 

for a first hoon offence and to three 

months for a second offence. On a third 

and subsequent offence, a vehicle would 

be confiscated and proceeds from its sale 

would go to road safety projects. Vehicles 

of little value would be crushed 

“At the election we said we would toughen 

the State’s hoon laws. This is exactly what 

the State Government is doing. We need 

to feel safe in our community. We will not 

take a backwards step in ensuring that 

people are responsible in our community 

and on our roads,” said Mr Hallett. “While

REFLECTIONS FROM SOUL TO SOLE 

Please be advised that a Clinic specialising in Reflexology is now operating for 

Yarloop, Waroona, Harvey and surrounding districts. 

For understanding, working on one part of the body (e.g. foot) has a direct effect 

on another. The feet, hands, ears and face contain reflex points plus 7200 nerve endings that 

travel to every part of the human body. By promoting precise pressure in specialised movements 

the body is thus persuaded to biologically correct, to strengthen and reinforce itself to reach 

balance, normalization and homeostasis. 

The following ailments are some of many that can be greatly assisted. 

� Muscular & skeletal aches & pains � Male dysfunction � Stress � Sleep disorders � Strokes 

� Diabetes � Cancer pain � Fertility � Menopause � Reduces pain & medications 

� Aids Recovery � WA Living Essences � EFT v Reiki 

� Your feet tell your life history – don’t be afraid of them, but love them for what they represent, 

relax and be pampered and ready for a deep rewarding sleep

WATCH OUT HOONS! WA SET TO HAVE THE NATION’S 

TOUGHEST ANTI-HOON LAWS. 

most drivers do the right thing and use 

our roads responsibly, there are some who 

continue to snub their nose at the law and 

at the safety of others. My message to 

them is that they will be caught and they 

will lose their vehicle. People who 

repeatedly drive recklessly put lives at risk 

do not deserve to be on our roads. 

“In light of recent events there will be 

severe penalties for people who deface 

or devalue a vehicle after being served 

with a notice of intention to confiscate. 

This will cover situations where a person 

strips or damages their vehicle knowing it 

is about to be impounded or confiscated. 

These changes will not only focus on hoon 

drivers but also on people driving without 

a valid license. From July 1, if you are 

found to be driving without a valid license 

your car will be impounded on the spot 

for 28 days,” said Mr Hallett. 

The Government has set up a new 

Demerit Point Hotline to enable people to 

check their current demerit point status. 

The hotline number is 1300 720 111.

SENIOR’S AWARDS OPEN 

FOR NOMINATIONS 

South West MLC Nigel Hallett has called 

for nominations as part of the 2009

important way to recognise the valuable

West in business, volunteering and 

working with the community. 

The winners will be announced at a gala 

ceremony on October 25, 2009, to mark 

the start of Seniors Week, where the 

winner will be named 2009 Burswood WA 

Senior of the Year. 

Other individuals who have worked in a 

paid or voluntary capacity to improve the 

life of seniors can nominate for the

Award. 

In addition, a group or organisation that 

has developed policies, programs, 

services and activities that allow seniors 

to lead rich and satisfying lifestyles can 

nominate for the Active Ageing Leadership 

Award. 

”Many seniors work selflessly for the 

benefit of their local communities and it is 

only fair they are recognised for these 

valuable contributions,” Mr Hallett said. 

Nomination forms are available by calling 

6217 8400 or visiting the website http://

suspect skin lesions. 17 of these 

had basal cell carcinomas, 3 had 

squamous cells carcinomas, 4 

were diagnosed with Bowen’s 

disease and one presented with a 

melanoma. 

Although all those who had 

appointments were considered to 

be at risk due to a personal or family 

history of skin lesions, the numbers 

found to have problems reinforces 

the message – if you have suspect 

skin spots, get them checked out right away!

Club where he held many positions. He was 

a professional cyclist from 1926 to 1935 and 

won many road races competing in races at 

Busselton, Brunswick, Waroona, Collie, 

Bunbury and Midland. He came 6th Continued from page 1 

in the 

Beverley to Perth (116 miles) in 1935 

finishing the race in 6 hours. He organised 

the Waroona Cycle Club and was President 

and Handicapper for 5 years 1932-37. 

Don was also a founding member of the 

Waroona Football Club, in later years writing 

their history. He played from 1934 to 1942 

being a member of the Premiership Teams 

in 1934-35. He held many positions in the 

Football Club over many years and is now a 

Life Member. 

Don also played cricket for twenty years,

GARRETT BURNS OUT SOLAR REBATE - IMMEDIATELY! 

It’s official. Canning homeowners will miss 

out on the popular solar panel rebate. 

Yesterday, without warning, Environment 

Minister Peter Garrett caused chaos by 

scrapping the $8,000 solar panel rebate - 

effective immediately! Canning MP Don 

Randall said it was a travesty that yesterday 

was the last day local residents could lodge 

applications for the rebate. 

“The Government’s ill-considered decision 

and shambolic management of the 

announcement left local residents and solar 

industry businesses frantically scrambling 

to tie up applications in just a few hours that 

were planned for the next month,” Mr 

Randall said. “The program was to continue 

until July 1 st 2009 before being replaced by 

the Solar Credit Scheme. This is the third 

system under Mr Garrett in a year. The 

rebate has been changed, means-tested 

and now axed completely. The Minister

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DON! 

Don began playing golf in 1934 and has 

played on all three golf courses. His 

handicap was 22 at the age of 78. He held 

many positions and won many trophies over 

these years. He was also a founding 

member of the Bowling Club and played for 

many years until he rolled the first ball on 

the new synthetic green earlier this year. He 

also held many positions during these years. 

He was a life member of both these clubs 

as well as the Cricket Club. 

In 1995 at the age of 86 he was the Waroona 

Co-ordinator for the South West Games. 

This year Don and his wife Kath, who has 

been at his side and shared his sporting 

career playing in all of these sports or 

supported him in those she couldn’t and who 

will be 98 this month, will celebrate their 72 nd 

Wedding Anniversary. They will be 

celebrating their birthdays with their three 

children, seven grandchildren and thirteen 

great grand children and many of their 

extended family and friends. 

Judy Alexander 

claims to be clear and green, but here he is 

scrapping an environmentally friendly 

programme for simply being too popular and 

successful. Solar suppliers have indicated 

that the Solar Credit Scheme will see most 

people get about half of what they would 

have received under the Coalition’s rebate, 

leaving them $4,000 to $4,500 worse off. 

This decision just reinforces that the Labor 

Government’s self proclaimed green 

credentials are in complete tatters. 

“Many Australians want to do their bit for the 

environment, reduce the impact of climate 

change and save some money at the same 

time, but despite all its spin the Government 

seems determined to make it as difficult as 

possible. The Coalition Government 

recognised the value of this programme to 

both families and the environment. In the 

2007-2008 Federal Budget the rebate was 

doubled from $4,000 to $8,000.” 

Mr Randall said his office had received 

several calls today from Canning residents 

who would miss out on the rebate and felt 

“shafted” by the Government’s “sneaky 

decision” to pull the plug on the rebate three 

weeks early. 

SPRINKLER BAN 

Are you aware that a total sprinkler ban 

is current for most of Western Australia 

for the next two months. This applies to 

both main and bore watering. 

Check that your automatic watering 

system is OFF.

Gift vouchers can create problems for 

customers and store owners alike if the 

store’s rules for using vouchers are not well 

understood. It is important for consumers 

to understand that there is no set format for 

store gift vouchers and the rules will vary 

from store to store. 

Many impose a use-by-date, for example, 

“This voucher is only valid until 31st December 2009”. This practice aims to 

encourage gift recipients to redeem their 

vouchers within a set time. However traders 

also need to honour their timeframes. 

Vouchers that are outstanding for long 

periods present record keeping problems for 

business and can add to business costs. 

Vouchers presented after the use-by-date 

may be rejected. Depending on individual 

circumstances, some stores may agree to 

honour it while others may honour vouchers 

with a diminished value. 

Some vouchers are imprinted with a 

numbering system or bar code. This 

provides a linked record and gives 

consumers some protections in case of loss 

or theft. Some small or independent stores 

do not track their vouchers in this way. This 

can present problems because it becomes 

impossible to match purchaser to voucher 

or be assured that vouchers being 

redeemed were honestly obtained. 


UNDERSTANDING GIFT VOUCHERS 

Gift recipients are not the actual purchaser 

of the voucher and they cannot demand a 

store exchange their voucher for cash. It is 

the original purchaser of the voucher who is 

the store’s customer and holder of a legally 

binding “contract of sale”. This is why the 

gift voucher recipient has limited rights. For 

example, if you do not use the entire dollar 

amount of the voucher then the store is not 

obliged to give you the unspent portion in 

cash. Instead, they might provide another 

voucher. 

To assist the smooth working of this form of 

gift giving, stores are well advised to clearly 

set out the conditions or terms of use on 

their vouchers. Traders should include any 

expiry date and have in place a reliable 

system to track their vouchers. For both 

purchasers and gift recipients, it is wise to 

keep gift vouchers in a safe place, ensuring 

they read and then follow the guidelines 

provided on the voucher. Purchasers 

should also be aware that the “contract of 

sale” is with the original store owner. If the 

store changes hands or goes out of business 

you may not be able to redeem the voucher. 

If you require further information on this or 

any other consumer issue, please call into 

our office on the 8 th floor of the Bunbury 

Tower, 61 Victoria Street, Bunbury or call us 

on (08) 97 222 888 or 1300 30 40 54.

We’ve come to the end of Term 2 now and 

we’re all wondering where the first half of 

the year has gone! June 8th was our 

Grandparents Day which was a lot of fun 

for everyone. It was so nice to see the 

grandparents and some great 

grandparents there, having a lovely time 

with their grandkids. They all had a 

chance to do craft together, some getting 

plates, cups and placemats to remember 

the special day. It was lovely to see the 

wonderful bond between the children and 

their grandparents. Thank you to everyone 

who came and hope you all had a lovely 

time. 

We now have Tiny Tots up and running 

on Tuesday afternoons. This is a great 

time for those with young babies up to 2 

years old to come and spend time with 

others who have children the same age.

WAROONA PLAYGROUP 


FROM THE MAY COUNCIL MINUTES 

subject to conditions including downsizing 

the proposed shed. 

A fruit packing shed in McClure Road, Hamel 

was proposed. Council resolved to approve 

the application with restrictions imposed on 

truck movements, numbers of persons to be 

employed at one time, installation of a septic 

tank and other conditions. 

Council resolved, with respect to a proposal 

to establish a landscaping policy to endorse 

the creation of a Draft Landscaping Policy 

which is to be considered at a future 

meeting. 

A proposed amendment to a rural residential 

development south of Weller Road 

overlooking Lake Moyanup was tabled. The 

modifications were adopted with conditions, 

chat to who is going through the same 

things you are. It’s also so beneficial for 

your children and from experience these 

groups can lead to great friendships which 

last for years for you and your kids. 

As we begin Term 3 we will be looking for 

co-ordinators to help out at Tuesday 

mornings sessions as well as anyone who 

can be a back up for Monday and 

Thursday. School holidays commence on 

Monday 6th July so we will be closed for 

a couple of weeks until school goes back. 

It’s now that time of year when its hard to 

come out because it’s so wet and dreary. 

This is a good reason to come and play 

with us. Why have your kids stuck inside 

your own home when they could be at 

Playgroup having a ball with their friends. 

Hope to see you all next term. Have a 

fun safe time over the holidays!

WHAT’S IN A NAME – 

FOURACRE STREET 

The Fouracre family are described as among 

the earliest pioneers of the coastal area, 

where they lived until around the 1870s. 

John Fouracre built a Wayside Inn in 1854, 

alongside the Old Coast Road near the 

present day junction with Peppermint Grove 

Road. On the opposite side of the road were 

stockyards and barns which housed horses 

kept for the Bunbury mail coach. 

In 1871, following their move to the 

Waroona/Hamel area, John purchased 2000 

acres of land and the first homestead away 

from the Old Coast Road was later 

established. 

His son Robert, the farmer of the family, 

occupied ‘Drakesbrook’, the earliest farm in 

the district, which was also a stage coach 

stop. 

Two of John’s daughters married, one 

unmarried daughter was later murdered at 

the Peppermint Grove property and the other 

unmarried daughter lived with her brother 

at ‘Drakesbrook’.

The past couple of years have seen 

significant changes within the Waroona 

Police sub-district. 

Waroona is a growing region and the 

demographics are constantly changing. 

No longer is it a small country town with 

“just locals”. There is now a far more 

transient population and this coupled with 

a growing desire for people to re-locate 

south of the metropolitan area, brings with 

it obvious policing challenges. 

For the reporting period 01/07/2007 – 30/ 

06/2008, a total of 69 persons were 

processed by summons or arrest for a total 

of 94 charges within our sub-district. 

For the same period 2008 – 2009 (up to 

and including 22/06/2009), a total 167 

persons were processed for a total of 301 

charges, an increase of 142% and 220% 

respectively. 

This does not include juveniles either 

required to appear before a Juvenile 

Justice Team or subject to a formal or 

informal caution. 

The news is not all bad. Many would be 

aware of our staff increase in August 2008 

with the return of Travis Jenkinson to the 

Police Service. 

Certainly, the increase in the quoted 

statistics can be in part attributed to the 

increase in staffing levels. It has enabled 

us to be more proactive in our policing 

methods and conduct thorough and 

complete investigations as the need 

arises. 

Significantly, Waroona’s burglary rate has 

reduced 23% this reporting period which 

includes a 43% reduction in residential 

burglaries for the district. 

Peel Police District Office has again 


WAROONA POLICE NEWS 

MOVING FORWARD 

recognised the need for additional staff 

and is currently advertising to fill a newly 

created position. The vacancy will, 

hopefully, be filled in the very near future, 

giving Waroona Police Station an 

established strength of 6 full time officers. 

In addition to the extra staff, a recent 

station upgrade has seen an additional 42 

square metres of office space, computers 

and other resources allocated to the 

station. 

What does this mean to the community? 

Obviously, greater coverage! Increased 

staffing levels put more Police on the road 

and no doubt many would have already 

noticed the extended afternoon shift 

coverage from Monday to Sunday. A 

further increase in staffing levels will give 

us the opportunity to again extend our 

coverage and ensure the community is 

policed with maximum benefit to all. 

A recent initiative within the Peel District, 

and as a result of co-operation between 

neighbouring sub-districts, has seen the 

commencement of a “night shift patrol”. 

Notwithstanding the additional coverage 

already mentioned, the Waroona 

community now has access to an on road 

Police vehicle from Wednesday to 

Saturday until the very early hours of the 

following morning. The night shift patrols 

have already proved beneficial and the 

message to the community is not to 

“guess” whether police are available or 

not. 

Should you require Police assistance or if 

you witness any suspicious activity, call 

9733 1230 and your call will be answered. 

Don’t wait until the next day, it’s generally 

too late.

Waroona Demons Football 

Club continues to make its 

mark in all three grades in the 

Alcoa Peel Football League 

Competition. 

Waroona League Squad, with a strong even 

four quarter performance, defeated Pinjarra 

by 42 points last Sunday to gain a handy 

two game break at the top of the League 

Premiership Ladder. In stormy difficult 

conditions Waroona were led by skilful 

Courtney Lakay, ruckman Andrew LeRoy 

and utility player Matt Thomas. The 

Demons defensive unit kept Pinjarra to a 

miserly 1 goal, seven behinds for the whole 

game. .Key defenders Ryan and Steele 

Court are leading the way well supported 

by former colt’s players Jackson Hiscock 

and Chad Peters. Goalsneak Simon 

Horner is always dangerous and colt “Fish” 

Catalano enjoyed playing with the “Big 

Boys” in the League Squad. 

Waroona Reserves Playing Coach Jamie 

Jovanovich and his Assistant Smoky 

Dawson were delighted with the improved 

showing by Waroona Reserves. They 

defeated the previously unbeaten Pinjarra 

Reserves Team by 14 points in difficult 

conditions. Waroona held a handy lead at 

the halfway mark but Pinjarra responded 

with five goals in the third term with the aid 

of the gale and held Waroona scoreless. 

The Demons held their nerve with 

experienced players Raymond Kohlman 

and Marcus Jovanovich leading the way, 

and Ruckman Rohan Lilly showed why he 

will be a key asset to the League Squad 

after returning from a serious leg injury .They 

used the ball well and kicked five goals to 

zero in the last term after trailing by sixteen 

points at the last change. Waroona 

Reserves are now on the edge of the five 

and when they have a full complement of 

players will make an impact on the final 

series assuming they can win enough 

games in the last seven rounds. 

Waroona Colts continue to play strong 

football and will be competition with 

Rockingham for fifth spot. They were only 


DEMON CORNER BY BACK POCKET 

seven points down against Pinjarra after 

allowing a couple of easy late goals at half 

time. Unfortunately they allowed second top 

team Pinjarra Tigers to dictate terms in the 

third term even though they came home 

strongly. Ryan McKinley is the leading 

goalscorer in the Colts competition and he 

showed why in the recent Peel Cavaliers 

fixture scoring six goals. 

Peel defeated South West at Hands 

Memorial Oval by 26 points on Friday 19th 

June.It was back to back for the Peel Colts 

team. The side was well drilled and coached 

by Waroona Colts Coach Jasan Hysen.His 

two assistant coaches were Ian Jack 

(Pinjarra) and John Mason (Waroona). 

Congratulations to all local players who 

made the representative colts team and 

Jackson Hiscock was named Captain. Other 

players were Max Gardiner,Norman 

Davis,Josh Derosa,Ariki Brown,Sean 

Roberts and Ryan McKinley.All local 

Waroona Colts players made a solid 

contribution to an outstanding term 

performance which shocked South West at 

the skill, tenacity and spirit shown by the 

Cavaliers.Seven players and two Coaches 

is a great contribution by Waroona towards 

the Peel Cavaliers achievements. 

Waroona is also buzzing off the track and 

the major raffle winner of a side of grain fed 

beef was head trainer Rod Davis. Significant 

funds were raised for the Club. 

Not to be outdone the ladies sub committee 

of Debbie, Kerry, Sheree and Lauren held a 

meeting on Friday night to ensure 

preparations are well in hand for the Red 

and Black Ball in a couple of weeks. It will 

allow players a chance to relax but gives 

them only two days preparation against 

South Mandurah which is now in second 

spot after defeating Mandurah Mustangs by 

five goals in a night fixture on Saturday night. 

Season 2009 will provide some interesting 

results in the last seven qualifying fixtures 

before the Finals Series commences. With 

a little luck and effort on the training track 

Waroona should have teams in the finals in 

all three grades.

WHATS HAPPENING WITH 

TENNIS IN WAROONA? 

Come and find out on 

Friday 24 July. 

The Waroona Tennis Club has 

unfortunately in recent years been in 

recess due to lack of numbers. The 

committee has held off closing the club 

altogether in the hope that ‘new’ interest 

would be generated at some point and 

the club could be resurrected. 

We would like to invite interested players 

to meet at the Waroona Recreation 

Centre on Friday July 24th at 5.45 pm to 

discuss the possibility of bringing Tennis 

back to town. If enough interest/ 

attendance/committment is shown at 

that meeting we will be able to continue 

as a club. 

If you are at all interested please come 

along and share your ideas. If you would 

like further information beforehand 

please contact Janine Walmsley on 

9733 3020. Look forward to seeing you 

there!

BOWLING CLUB NEWS 

Stalwart centenarian Don 

Alexander still bowling 


new season. After the heavy rains we have 

still managed to play scroungers and also 

tried a Twilight Triples. This worked well for 

a few weeks, but the cold evenings just 

became too cold for people to enjoy their 

game, so we have cancelled it for the time 

being. 

The Bingo numbers have dropped off a little 

since the cold weather kicked in, but we will 

continue to run it whatever the numbers. We 

still manage to get between 12 and 18, but 

over 20 would provide better prizes for 

everyone. If you haven’t been before, it is 

eyes down at 7pm, so you need to get there 

earlier to purchase your books and dobbers. 

Coffee, tea & biscuits are served at half time 

and the bar is open throughout the session. 

Our Club is a family Club and several older 

children who enjoy playing 

bingo regularly attend and they 

are more than welcome. 

Our Friday Night meals and 

raffles are still popular. The 

menu is very diverse and all 

meals are very reasonable. 

The meals are provided as a 

service to its members, but 

visitors and guests are always 

welcome. The kitchen opens at 

about 5.45pm and closes at 

7.30pm. There is a variety of 

raffles, some of which carry 

over to the next week, if 

unsold, but others are drawn 

on the night, the more sold the 

more prizes we have. 

We now regularly cater for family functions 

from birthdays to anniversaries, weddings 

to wakes. We do not have a set price. This 

is worked out between you and the Club. If 

you are a member the hiring of the Club is 

free, but there is a cost for non members. 

People may self cater if they wish, but there 

is a cost in hiring the kitchen in addition to 

the main hall. Many people have included a 

game of bowls in their function. This can be 

organised by the Club Staff. Just contact 

the Club and anything can be organised for 

you.
