December 2014
Christmas Light Competition
Residents and Businesses within the
town boundary – don’t forget to have
your Christmas lights up by Friday
12th December and be a part of the
Beverley
Christmas
Light
Competition. Entry is free, the prizes
are great and winning displays will
be announced during the Community
Christmas Concert at the Railway
Station on 20th December.
Annual Electors Meeting
Council recently held its Annual
Electors
Meeting,
a
statutory
requirement to be held within 56
days after the Local Government
accepts the annual report for the
previous financial year. Beverley has
held this in November, December,
January and February over the years
and each of those months has some
unsuitability for various electors
regarding attendance. The Annual
Report is always available to view
following Councils adoption, either
from the Shire office or the
beverley.wa.gov.au website. Thank
you to attendees at this year’s
meeting.
Railway Station Structural Problems
The Shire has received a report
citing structural problems with the
Beverley Railway Station building.
The Shire’s insurers have deemed
that the premises not be used until
rectified. This is devastating news for
Beverley Station Arts and our
community as the transformational
work that has gone into developing
the Railway Station Cultural Precinct
is well recognized.
A more comprehensive report is now
required to explore the extent of the
problem, what remediation is
needed, and the likely cost in order
to determine how this situation can
be addressed.
Main Street Redevelopment and a
Tourism Planning Framework with
more information to follow on these
in due course.
This
unfortunate
circumstance
reinforces the need for an external
funding system to assist Local
Government
with
Rural
and
Regional heritage properties listed
on the State Heritage Register which
are in effect part of the heritage
fabric of our State, but for which rate
payers and residents are bearing a
burden for maintenance and upkeep.
It is an issue I have been raising in
various forums over the last 18
months to highlight the problem,
most recently when the CEO and I
met with the Hon. Mia Davies MLA.
BBP Audit
As previously reported Beverley,
Brookton and Pingelly formed an
alliance to collaboratively progress
sustainable Aged Care Planning,
Services and Support within and
between our communities. BBP has
engaged Verso Consulting to
undertake an infrastructure, age
friendliness, services and facilities
audit in each of the three Shires,
which is currently underway, to
inform planning for the current and
future needs of our communities.
Road Works Programme
Our road crew has been busy
preparing for bituminizing, with work
recently completed on the Westdale
Road. Next will be a 3.4km section
of the York Williams Road which is
due for sealing before the end of the
year.
Upcoming Projects – Your Feedback
Welcomed
In
2014
Council
has
been
investigating various projects which
could potentially provide long term
benefit for our community on the
proviso that funding can be
accessed
to
assist
with
implementation should they proceed.
Concept plans will be available for
viewing and for your feedback, the
first
being
for
a
proposed
Multipurpose Community Centre.
This project has been articulated out
of findings from a feasibility study
commissioned by the Community
Resource Centre in 2012, from
which results were presented at a
community workshop in 2013 and
subsequently received by Council
earlier this year. A Business Case
Plan and amended concept plan are
now available for viewing at the
Shire Office. The other projects
relate to Street Water Harvesting,
Retirees Morning Tea
Thank you to those attending the
Retirees Morning Tea at which there
was delicious food, good company
and great entertainment!
Platform Theatre Events
Congratulations to the Beverley
Station Arts and their helpers for
recently hosting the very popular
Australian Beatles and Blues
Brothers Review at the Platform
Theatre. This was a terrific show and
great night out. Next on the calendar
is a Free Community Christmas
Concert so lock Saturday 20th
December into your diary for another
great night out with family and
friends.
Christmas and New Year
Best wishes for Christmas and New
Year. Enjoy, be patient on the roads,
and take care.

SHIRE OF BEVERLEY
PUBLIC NOTICE
The Shire of Beverley wishes to advise that the Beverley Community building formerly
known as the Child Health Clinic, located at 141 Vincent Street, Beverley will be removed
in January 2015.
In November 2011 the Shire of Beverley Asset Management Plan indicated that the Child
Health Clinic had a condition rating of 4 (being fair to minus) and 0-19% remaining of its
estimated working life.
In 2012 severe cracking to walls became evident and this was further investigated with a
structural engineers report. In July 2013 the Shire was advised that the extent of work
required to repair the Child Health Clinic may be uneconomical given that it did not comply
with Building Code requirements suitable for general community use. Further quotes were
obtained stating that repairs would cost in the vicinity of $330,000.00 and to rebuild a
similar building would cost $625,000.00.
In September 2013 Council resolved not to repair the building.
Council has now found a new location for the Beverley Hospital Auxiliary to run the
Op Shop from, being the front of the Town Hall, due to reopen for business in February
2015.
As the former Child Health Clinic building is structurally unsound it will be removed in the
interest of public safety and liability in January 2015. The site will be grassed and kept tidy
with as many existing trees and plants to remain as possible.

Chief Executive Officer - Shire of Beverley
SHIRE OF BEVERLEY

All submissions must be received by 4.00pm Friday 19 December 2014. No submission will
necessarily be accepted.

Vera Johnson took the chair to oversee the election of new office bearers.
Our new president is Glenda Ferris, Betty Cable is to be vice president, Rae
Blight our treasurer, Dalene Davies is to remain as secretary and Vera is to
be our social secretary. Delys and Erica are our hard working garden
committee. Thanks to our outgoing president and welcome to Glenda.
Members were asked to put their names down for the Christmas party which
is to be held at the Tavern.
We’re moving into the difficult time of the year with our gardens and
mulching, feeding and nursing along any vegetables is the way to go. The
more mulch the less water needed.
If you haven’t eaten all your artichokes the lovely big purple flowers will be
here soon, if not already.
One of our members has a great crop of basil and it makes beautiful pesto
so is a great addition to the garden. Your tomatoes may need to be
protected from the sun , and remember to dig up the daffodil and tulip bulbs
as they won’t get through the summer.
Continue dead heading roses and feed them too.
Santa will be arriving at 6pm
Named presents to be in by 5pm
To be followed by an evening
meal of various meats on the
spit, salads and sweets.
Please bring a salad and sweet
and when out doing the grocery
shopping, if you could pick up
an extra something to donate to
the Christmas Hamper Raffle,
it would be much appreciated.

CWA
Meeting
in
November was a busy one
with guest ladies to discuss the needs
of the Play Group. We are very
supportive of the need for an
alternative venue for the weekly
group gathering but it would appear
that the CWA rooms would not be a
suitable situation.
The carpets have been commercially
cleaned and the lawns mown so
hopefully we will have the place
looking great for the Christmas
season.
Our December meeting is to be on
Thursday 11th December at 10.00am
with morning tea and usual meeting
followed by lunch at the Red Vault
Restaurant. Husbands/partners are
invited to join us for this occasion.
Please bring a gift to the value of
$10.00 for the gift exchange - please
mark if suitable for a Lady or a Gent.
This will be our last meeting before
going into summer recess until the
AGM which is to be held at the CWA
Centre on Thursday 12th February,
2015.
In 2015, CWA in Beverley will be
celebrating 90 years of service to the

The Beverley patch workers and
quilters have been very busy in
2014.
The focus for this year was to
improve our quilting skills and
expand our knowledge in other
areas such as material dyeing, free
motion quilting and become familiar
with the accu quilt machine.
We went to a workshop in
Bassendean and a very skilled lady
exposed us to a variety of dyeing
which was very interesting. We all
came home with various samples of
what we produced that day. On a
separate weekend we had a retreat
at someone's house from the group
and did a convergence with the dyed
material.
Some of our ladies extended their
knowledge regarding dyeing and did
some lino tile dyeing with the artist in
residence in Beverley. They all had a
great day and will bring their skills
back to the group.
We also went to a workshop in Perth
to enhance our skills on the big
quilting frame. I think we all got a lot
out of it and can hopefully put it in
practise with our own quilting frame.
We had a lovely morning tea with the
HACC ladies and participated in our
yearly friendship day at Parkerville.

Beverley Historical Society
We had a very good attendance at
our last meeting. This was very
pleasing and we welcomed our
newest member Glenys Petchell.
There were only a couple of
apologies.
We have in our collection, at the
museum two tools both the same
which we weren’t certain what they
were for. We had been told that
they were for pulling out nails.
Member Di Smith decided to do
some research and come up with an
answer. The tool is called an ‘Iron
Hand’ now known as a pipe wrench.
Invented by Johan Peter Johansson
1853-1943. He was one of the
foremost inventors in Sweden. He
had his own business at one stage
but transferred it to his son so that
he could concentrate on his
inventions, he had 118 patents in
his life time. Thanks very much
Di and well done.
In our possession at the moment we
have 6 books. The title of these
books is “A Farming Family” - The
Fleay’s of Western Australia, written
by Jennifer Gardner. These books
are for sale at $25 each, can be
purchased from The Dead Finish.
Our Christmas function is a morning
tea, this will be held at the Red
Vault Restaurant on Wednesday 10
December at 10.00am. We hope to
see as many members as possible
for this social occasion.
Next and final meeting before we go
into recess will be held on
Wednesday 08 December at 2.00pm
at the Dead Finish Museum. This
meeting will be followed by the
cover-up.
We would like to wish everyone a
very happy Christmas and a healthy,
happy, safe and prosperous New
Year.

Station Gallery and Platform Theatre News
Station Gallery
This news may come as a shock to those who have not already heard it around town, but the Station building
has been deemed unsafe to occupy as of two weeks ago. The structural engineer’s report states that the
building’s stability is compromised by the extent of cracking of walls and there is a risk of vertical failure of
one wall.
Consequently, this past month has been a busy one for BSA committee as we had to relocate the
artists-in- residence. As we have been able to rent a Shire house in Dawson Street, we moved all furniture
from the station residence last week in readiness for our current artist Charlotte O’Shea. However, the artist
prior, Jill Ansell, had to be housed at the Beverley B&B and we thank them wholeheartedly for their reduced
tariff.
Our committee is devastated to say the least as all aspects of arts centre had reached such great momentum
and it now……well it feels like a backward step. Art workshops, Choir practice and BSA meetings have this
month been held in the performers’ Green Room alongside the Platform Theatre stage, and will continue so till
other arrangements can be made. The question of just how long it will take to remedy the structural damage to
the Station is unknown, and being extremely costly, we envisage fundraising to be on the agenda in the
foreseeable future. Maybe we can start a barometer fund similar to the airstrip lighting project – uncanny
that we should donate $1000 to the airstrip little knowing what lay around the corner for the Station! Please
help to SAVE OUR STATION.
BSA Annual General Meeting
The AGM for members and friends of Beverley Station Arts was held on Friday 31 October at the Station
Gallery. From the BSA members present a full committee was elected. Committee members to serve their
second year term in 2014/15: Marylou Hutchinson (Vice Chairman and Artist-in-Residence Coordinator, Sarah
Miller (Secretary), Pauline Knight (Treasurer), Kathryn McLean (Exhibition Secretary), Sandy Shaw, Penny
Burns, Tracey Fleay. Committee Members to serve their two year term as from now: Jenny Broun (Chairman),
Amanda McLean Exhibition Treasurer, Joanne Strange, Leita Barrett-Lennard, Valda Morton, John Ives
Artist-in-Residence
Jill Ansell was kept busy during her short stay with many visitors visiting to view both her own art which
included a marvelous portrait of her uncle, Graeme Hobbs, and the John Ainsworth retrospective exhibition. It
is worth noting that so many of our artists intend returning for another residency, and leave behind wonderful
comments in the visitor’s book such as this from Jill: “A very short, but social and enjoyable stay. This building
(and the people associated with it) is a gem and I hope the “necessary” repairs are cheap and fast so that you
can carry on this excellent Artist-in-Residence programme. I want to come back and stay here again – for
longer next time. Many thanks to the lovely committee members – this town is blessed to have you all – and
thanks to the local people who dropped past to look and chat. It was good to be here at the same time as John
Ainsworth’s memorial retrospective was on. He was an excellent watercolour artist and it was a pleasure to
share the space with him and talk to visitors about his work.”

Charlotte O’Shea on her return from Scotland was quick to make contact and start her residency a few days
after Jill left. Charlotte’s residency is of a different kind as she is being paid for her time, mainly by Beverley
Station Arts, but also by the CRC and the Shire, to work with the youth of the town.

John Ainsworth – A Tribute and Exhibition
The opening of the John Ainsworth retrospective exhibition was well attended with people from as far a fields
as Mundaring, Dowerin, and from Perth were John’s three daughters who spoke informally of their father’s
work. It was a lovely gathering with four paintings being sold. Unfortunately the exhibition was to remain open
until December 21 but has had to conclude early due to the closure of the Station building. If anyone is
wanting to purchase a painting could they now contact Carolyn, one of John’s daughters, on 0488 203 630.
Donation of Paintings
On November 6 Shire President Dee Ridgway, Kathryn McLean, Marylou Hutchinson and I visited Mrs Frances
Creasy at her home in Peppermint Grove following an invitation to select artworks from her collection for the
Beverley Shire collection at the Station Gallery. We came home with two largish and two small paintings, all of
the Dale where Mrs Creasy spent her former years.

and Dee Ridgway with donated artworks.
Colin Croft, Tracey Fleay and Maxine during the visit to Croft’s Station
And whilst on the subject of the Gallery, an impromptu visit to the Station was made by Colin Croft and his
sister Maxine to view the two paintings by their mother Ruth Croft. One painting was acquired by Shire when
it won an award in 1968, and the other was donated by the family at the opening of the Station Gallery in
2006. Ruth was the instigator of the Gallery back in 1967 when she and her husband, who was the traffic
inspector, were living in Beverley. Both Colin and Maxine have fond memories of the town.
Youth Workshops
A series of after FREE after school and weekend workshops suitable for youth up to 17 years (inclusive) are
being held by artist Charlotte O’Shea during her stay in November. The programme involves recycling local
materials to construct 3D art which are being displayed in shop fronts – namely U Beauty Country.
AiR Charlotte O’Shea with Lucy Leonhardt, Ella Cooke, Bronte Cleland and Abby Cooke having fun making crazy critters
Music Rocks
And here we have yet another seies of workshops for our youth – but it’s music this time, culminating in a
performance at the Family Christmas Concert on December 20. How lucky are these kids! Music Rocks
Australia helps children and teenagers using music to empower them and making a difference in their lives
through the raw power of music. Funded by Beverley Station Arts, we hope the whole community will reap the
benefits of this venture when our youth entertain us at the Christmas Concert. Dates and times of the
workshops are in a separate poster elsewhere in the Blarney. Register your interest at the Shire with CDO,

Media Release
Put yourself first this Christmas
The best Christmas present you can give yourself is time now to look after yourself. Many people put off seeking
help about their health in the lead up to Christmas.
Taking time in the lead up to Christmas to see your doctor about possible signs/symptoms of cancer is an
important message of the Cancer Council WA’s Find Cancer Early campaign.
“The lead up to Christmas gets pretty hectic and it’s easy to forget about looking after yourself. If you know
something isn’t right we encourage you to see your doctor well before - it’s the best present you can give yourself”,
said Karen Hansen, Regional Education Officer for the Wheatbelt.
During the development of the Find Cancer Early campaign, researchers spoke to a number of people from
regional WA with cancer. Christmas was a common reason why people postponed getting help.
“We were over-whelmed by the number of people who spoke about having symptoms before Christmas, but
because they were so busy they put off seeing their doctor,” said Professor Jon Emery, GP and lead researcher at
the University of Western Australia. “But because of the Christmas shut down, when they were ready to see
someone there were big delays that pushed things back even further.”
Evidence shows that delaying seeing the doctor for just 5 weeks can have a big impact on patient
outcomes, which is why the campaign’s message ’the earlier cancer is found, the greater the chance of successful
treatment’ is so important.
“Recognising symptoms early is important, so we want to encourage people to put themselves first. Find Cancer
Early is all about helping people to recognise symptoms early and giving strategies to overcome excuses or
barriers to seeking help” said Karen Hansen, Regional Education Officer for the Wheatbelt.
If you are over 40 and have coughed up blood or had blood in your pee once off tell your doctor. You should also
tell your doctor if you have had any of these symptoms for more than 4 weeks: blood in your poo; problems peeing;
looser poo (diarrhoea); unexplained weight loss; an unusual pain, lump or swelling anywhere in your body;
becoming more short of breath; or a persistent cough.
Having these symptoms doesn’t mean you have cancer – often they turn out to be something less
serious, but it’s important to tell your doctor. More information is available at: www.findcancerearly.com.au.
Find Cancer Early is an initiative of The University of Western Australia and Cancer Council WA
investigating ways to improve cancer outcomes for people in regional Western Australia.

CHRISTMAS WISHES
Our sub centre committee would like to wish all our volunteers and the community of Beverley a very
Merry Christmas, and a safe and happy New Year. Thank you all for the support you have given us over
the past year, whether it was donating to our Airstrip Lighting Appeal or bolstering up the moral of our hard working
vollies. Please remember to celebrate responsibly so we can all enjoy the holidays!
AIRSTRIP LIGHTING UPDATE
As you read this update, the installation of lights at the airstrip has already begun. Early next year there will be a
‘Community event’ to celebrate this wonderful achievement and to say ‘thank you’, for all the support we have
received to make it possible. So please keep your eyes and ears open so you don’t miss this important
announcement.
TREATING A SNAKE BITE
There have been quite a number of snake bites reported in Western Australia during the spring months and the
summer months are ahead of us, so here is a reminder of what to do if you or someone you know is bitten by a
snake.
Managing a snake bite:
 Don’t panic. Call/send for help.
 Rest and reassure the patient.
 Apply a broad pressure bandage over the bite site as soon as possible.
 Apply a pressure immobilisation bandage – start just above the fingers or toes, and move upwards on
the limb as far as can be reached. (include the snakebite.)
 Apply tightly without stopping blood supply to the limb.
 Splint the bandaged limb.
 Ensure the patient does not move.
 Write down the time of the bite and when the bandage was applied.
 Stay with the patient.
 Check circulation in fingers or toes.





DO NOT wash venom off the skin.
DO NOT cut the bitten area.
DO NOT try to suck venom out of the wound.
DO NOT use a tourniquet.
DO NOT try to catch the snake.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY?
If you have a medical emergency and need an ambulance, you should always ring 000. Do not ring the hospital, or
a local ambulance officer you know for assistance as this will only slow down the process of getting you the help you
need. When you ring 000, they will ask you the relevant questions to get the ambulance to you in the quickest time
possible. The questions they ask you are necessary and assist the ambulance officers to best help you.
Remember – stay calm and ring 000 in an emergency.
FIRST AID KITS
Stuck for Christmas gift ideas? Why not consider giving a St John Ambulance First Aid Kit! They are practical in the
home and in the car, as we all have little medical emergencies where a First Aid Kit is all that’s needed. St John
Ambulance First Aid Kits are available from Beverley Farm Services on Forrest St. Just pop in and see Jenny.

Reward for Effort essential for you and your
team’s wellbeing
December is a good time to reflect on the past year and to start planning for
2015. After a busy period, like harvest or simply as an “annual weighing” up
before Christmas, conducting a review with ourselves and/or our team is
good for our wellbeing. We need to acknowledge, value and reward
ourselves individually and our team’s work efforts.
As an owner/operator of a small business or as someone who is part of a
team we all expect “A fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work”. It is essential we
apply this principle to both ourselves and our team. There is a role both for
the employer and employee in this deliberation. Employee issues like work
attendance, morale, performance and productivity are both affected by how
we communicate with our team and how we value their efforts. This reward
for effort review process can have a positive effect on our own wellbeing as
an employer and that of our team.
Quite often in the workplace there is that expectation that in the busy times
(we all have them) we put extra time in. We need then to be able to jump off
the treadmill and at some point balance up and take time off. One of the
positives of the good FIFO rosters is that this is factored in in the roster
planning. On the other hand there are many other workplaces and owner
operated businesses that don’t factor this in. Commitment, work ethic, and
motivation and a whole lot of other wellbeing factors help define us as
individuals and assists us to achieve getting the right life work balance.
Planning for Reward for Effort can come in many ways.
Some examples of these are:

Recognition/acknowledgement – positive affirmation, specific praise;

Team time (socialising, professional development etc.);

Extra holidays – Time off in lieu;

Other Bonus (can be anything);

Increase in salary.
Isolation is often the enemy of sound mental wellbeing. Many of us working
in regional WA quite often work in isolation and/or isolated environments. It
is really important to have strategies that counter balances this issue and we
need to ensure we address them in the reward for effort review. Informal and
spontaneous interaction is one important tool that can help counteract
isolation.
Our individual and our team’s wellbeing is important, act on it!

Do our own and our team review of reward for effort annually – it is
good for everyone’s wellbeing.

Value ourselves and our team’s efforts for the year. Extremely
important in owner operated small business.

Even in tough times don’t put off this review.
An annual review is a great way to address issues, create a plan for the new
year, wind down, and get the holiday season off and running on a positive
note. On behalf of the RMHI team I would like to wish all our readers all the
best for Christmas and the New Year.

THE BLUE LINE
Beverley Police Station
57 Hunt Road, Beverley WA 6304
Well, while Ian is away I have the opportunity to write and address the readership of the Blarney. I know Ian does spend the time
and delivers a well versed community policing message to the readers but this month my best will have to suffice. I have thought
of many things that I could include and discuss. However, when I sit down to write it those concepts escape me, but I will write a
concise message on community and road policing.
During my short but interesting time here, several people have reported incidents to me two or three days after the occurrence or
initial discovery of a suspected offence. I have heard “I didn’t think it was worth calling about…”, “I didn’t want to bother you.”
“I don’t like speaking to Northam etc.” This is not the attitude I would encourage you to have in relation to contacting the Police.
When you see suspicious behaviour, what you believe to be criminal behaviour and breaches under the road traffic act, please
contact us. Even if you don’t get to speak with us directly your message will get to us. We will triage your situation/ information
accordingly. Your call may help us gather an intelligence picture or assist us in on going inquiries in the fight against crime and
anti-social behaviour. Help me, help you.
You may choose to contact us on 9646 3333 (Beverley Police Station) or 131 444 (Police Assistance Centre) for general inquires
or 1800 333 000 (for Crimestoppers) or 000 (life threatening emergencies). Not many organisations can choose to boast that
many phone numbers! The people you speak to will be in touch with us.
We have access to suspicious activity forms and I will distribute these. They will assist you in gathering all the
information you need if you wish to report suspicious activity or persons to the Police. I have seen an instance of 3
pages of “Registration plates” being handed to a Police Officer. The vehicles had been frequenting an address to
purchase drugs. Further inquiries were undertaken and Police executed a search warrant and arrested 2
persons for the sell and supply of cannabis. It is obvious that this action would not have been undertaken
without information received from a diligent member of the public willing to step forward. Let’s work together on
some jobs!
So, if you see something suspicious or let’s say “hoon” behaviour please contact us. We will act on the information we receive.
So far so good. The next point, road safety. You may have noticed a Police sedan travelling around Beverley in November. That
was a “Concept Car” equipped with new road policing technology. Inside this vehicle is an on-board computers, cameras, speed
detection equipment and an ANPR camera (Automatic Number Plate Recognition). We had access to the vehicle for six days.
The ANPR automatically reads the number plate on your vehicle and checks your registration is valid and your licence details. It
alerts us to any unpaid registrations, suspended or disqualified drivers (almost instantly).
Here is the scary part. In six days of operation in the Beverley sub-district – known to the community as the Shire of Beverley.
There were two drivers driving with no valid licence and one contrary to extraordinary plates. These vehicles were seized for one
month and are facing court appearances. 25 speeding infringements were issued and 2 “others”. This is a head scratcher. One of
those infringements was issued to a person who was travelling 45km/h over the posted speed limit, in a 110km/h zone. That is
right folks 155km/h.
This vehicle will be seen again in Beverley. I warn people knowingly (or even unknowingly) driving
with no licence (the responsibility is on you to ensure you license is current). I will seize your
vehicle, work vehicle or otherwise. Please ensure you details are correct, please do this on the
Department of Transport website.
One more point…
There was a Beverley Police Legacy Golf Day a few weeks ago and I would personally like to thank all those people who
participated, planned, organised and offered support in all forms. I have a big list of people I will write and thank (you know who
you are). But this is my opportunity to do so in a public forum. I would also like to thank the businesses who were kind enough to
offer anything they could. It is appreciated.
Well, until next time.
Ian, Nick and (Acting Sergeant Jamie UNCLE).

Beverley Paralegal Community
Information Services (BCS)
The following should be treated as information only and
not as advice. The matter relates to a case that was
brought to my notice, therefore for further clarification and
information I contacted the Northam Police Station, by
phone.
1.
When plain clothed detectives, make an arrest, they
would always provide their names and other identity
and the nature of the suspected charge leading to
the arrest warrant. It also applies to uniformed
officers. They would follow due police procedure,
including their duty of care to the arrested person.
2.
When the person in question (arrested person), is
being cared for OR is caring for someone else e.g.
spouse, partner or child, and most importantly when
disabilities and medications are an issue. When
babies and children are being cared for by the
arrested person and this, is made aware to the
arresting officers, who, as part of their Duty of Care
will contact Crisis Care / Social Worker to assist the
family in this crisis situation/matter.
3.
My comments: Others who can help: The
authorised person can ask the arresting officers, as
to: what the charges are and where are they taking
the arrested person. Also contact Legal Aid right
for legal advice. You can also contact crisis care to
discuss the issue. Medical and Help Line on matter:
24 hour info line. For further info on warrants
contact the local or Northam Police.
Other information

Firearms Act: re application for gun cabinets,
applicants are required to send photos duly certified
by a JP or other qualified person.

Immigration: follow up or chase up matters pending and store documents i.e. all paperwork in a safe
place. E.g. What can happen: a person born
overseas, misplaced the Citizenship Certificate
issued 20 years ago, also holds an Australian
Passport also over 20 years. A copy can not be
issued, and one has to re-apply for Australian
Citizenship, (new application with proof of entry into
Australia, what year, what date, what flight number
and so on). This case is very strange but never the
less true.

Crowd funding: TV reports tell us those who are
struggling to keep up paying for chronic medical
bills for family and pets can now search under
crowd funding on the internet for procedures to
follow to get help. Evidence shown on TV help with
operations costs of children and pets over $30,000
raised.

CRANA Aboriginal
Corporation Inc.
TV reporting informs us that there have been
cuts to many, indigenous programs such
as :health, legal services, education, juvenile
& youth, housing prisoners support and so
the list goes on. Currently in some major
tourist towns, TV shows us that, due to all
these drastic financial cuts, the number of
homeless people (both indigenous and non
indigenous) are increasing and these
homeless people are now sleeping in
bushes, under trees and on the streets. The
reason for this is obvious, some have lost
their jobs, others have no jobs, they have no
home to go to and there is no rental
accommodation available.
TV reporting: What I have just stated has
also been reported by National TV Media, in
spite of this grim pictures, one would not
believe what else the TV stations have
reported.
Further withdrawal of funding: The Federal
Government has withdrawn funding for 150
indigenous remote communities. The
Premier of WA has told the media, as this be
the case, the WA Government, can not afford
to fund these communities and they (all 150)
will now have to close down. What this
means in real terms, is this, all services such
as schools, electricity, water will be cut off/
lost. Teachers, health workers and all other
Government staff will be removed or sacked.
The most important questions; which, may I
add, no one has bothered to answer is ‘What
happens to all the community residents: the
men, women, children and even babies,
where will they all go?
Devastating impact: What indigenous elders
and others learned and respected members
of the general community is that these
families will be thrown out from their own
land. They will loose this strong connection/
bond to their mother earth, they will also lose
their culture, their traditional beliefs and the
sacred sites of their ancestors and the spirits,
will all be taken away from them.
My final citation from TV reports: Chief
Justice Wayne Martin has said “Instead of
the Government cutting funds for indigenous
people, they should be increased”.
Good news: iron ore magnate: Andrew
Forrest and Premier Colin Barnett, (this
relates to (we gather, a situations up North)
an employment agreement). Where in
Andrew Forrest gives a written undertaking
that he will employ indigenous persons
released from prison, i.e. more or less,
guaranteed employment.

Year 6/7 Kalgoorlie Camp kindly retold by Elsie Grossmith
On Monday 3rd of November the year 6/7’s set out on a journey of a lifetime
to the Goldfields.
Our trip began at the Northam train station around 8am. We took a 5 hour
long train ride to the historic town of Kalgoorlie and from there we took buses
to the accommodating Goldfields Camp School. Mrs Thomas, Mrs Shaw, Mr
Ashworth, Mrs Kilpatrick and Dad accompanied us on our adventure.
We spent the first day in Kalgoorlie setting up our dorms and ensuring we
were prepared for any tasks coming our way. After setting up our sleeping
areas we set out to the Super Pit lookout. It was a well presented tourist
attraction that had nearly all class members gasping in awe. Our time at the
Super Pit seemed to go surprisingly fast and before we knew it we were back
at the camp school enjoying our marvellously prepared dinners. To conclude
the evening, a quiz night was held. It was a test of our general knowledge
and understanding of the world. With the prize being chocolates we were all
determined to win the ultimate award.

Beverley Blarney, Edition 362 – December 2014
The second day had many unknown
obstacles ahead. To kick-start our
day we were greeted with a delicious
breakfast. We took the bus out to the
Kalgoorlie town hall where we met
our tour guide. The town hall was a
beautiful example of historic artefacts
and furnishings. The high ceiling and
ornate walls were awe inspiring. We
also viewed the Paddy Hannan
memorial statue. We then headed out
with our next tour guide called Vic. He
was an amazing man with firsthand
information
and
unbelievable
knowledge on the historic town of
Coolgardie. We arrived at the Visitor
Centre and then swiftly made a move
to the Warden’s house. It was a
lovely old style cottage with stone
walls
and
decorative
wooden
trimmings. We later went to the
Coolgardie cemetery where we saw
Earnest Giles’ burial site. We also
saw the Warden’s wife’s grave.
Afterwards we met back at the Visitor
Centre where we ventured through
the numerous rooms and explored
the history of the town. Later that
evening we headed out to the Oasis.
The Oasis is the Kalgoorlie recreation
centre. It was marvellously presented
and well equipped. They had netball
and basketball courts, a football field,
an indoor pool with a waterslide and a
gym. We spent a couple of hours at
the pool. There was an inflatable
obstacle course and many students
were able to complete the course;
some however, not mentioning any
names, merely made it to the second
obstacle. We were later transported
back to the Goldfields Camp School,
where an array of delicious supper
was set up for us to enjoy.
On the morning of the third day, we
set out on an adventure to find gold.
A few of us had pessimistic views on
our luck; however we were extremely
successful. Nearly every student had
found a piece of gold for themselves.
After crushing the quartz, we tipped
the minerals into a pan and used
water to pan for the precious metal. In
the afternoon we travelled to the
Super Pit for a guided tour. We saw
drill and blast teams and many trucks.
The Super Pit uses 40 Cat 793 haul
trucks which carry 225 tonnes every
load. Each truck carries around a golf
ball amount of gold. It was an
amazing experience.
When we
returned home we were greeted with
professional hobbyists. Their talent
was line dancing. We heard a few
familiar songs and learned the steps
www.beverleywa.com
fairly quickly. At the end of the tutorial
our dancing teachers gave us a
snippet of what it should look like. It
was a fabulous presentation and
some of us perfected it extremely
well.
The last day on camp was jam
packed, we visited many sites
including the Loop Line Museum, Mt
Charlotte, the RFDS, the Weather
Bureau and we started our day with a
delicious bush breakfast with Sharon.
At the end of the day we took place in
a water fight, and then we had our
skit night. We had some hilarious
presentations and fabulous actors.
On Friday we woke up at 5am and
set off to the train station.
Unfortunately our transport was
delayed by a few hours due to a few
technical issues. As always we made
the most of our unfortunate situation
and headed out to the nearest skate
park. A group of year sevens made a
short clip whilst there. It was well
designed and produced.
The
majority of the children played on the
skate park and then we decided to
move on to the next park. On
reaching the next park we noticed a
few children had split their pants on
the skate park. At Hammond Park
we played football and cricket. There
was a talking cockatoo and
kangaroos and emus dozing about.
We then ventured back to the train
station and boarded our train; we
were finally on our way back home.
In my opinion it was probably a good
thing that we didn’t go on the early
train. When we arrived home all
students were extremely tired. We
dawdled off the train to awaiting
parents. It was an amazing
experience.
Year 6/7 Camp a Week we will
Never Forget.
Operation Christmas Child
The
Beverley
DHS
student
councillors had the opportunity to
take 25 boxes of donated goodies
down to the Samaritan warehouse
and assist with the packing and
processing of shoeboxes destined for
children less fortunate. Each box
contains
something
to
love,
something for school, something to
wear, something for play, something
for hygiene and the very important
library bag in which to keep their
precious gifts. A special thank you to
Colleen Sleer for sewing the library
bags for our boxes and to everyone
www.beverleywa.com
who donated, no matter how small.
Cricket
What
a
day
of
fantastic
sportsmanship! Six teams of boys
and girls participated in a T20 cricket
competition.
Not only were we
successful on the field, our sideline
dancing skills were rewarded and we
had a number of top performers in
the catching competition.
Science IQ
The Year 5 & 6 extension group has
been participating in the ScienceIQ
online quiz each term. In groups of
3-4, they are required to research
and answer a range of science
questions within a one-hour time
limit. It has been exciting to see the
teamwork and scientific discovery Beverley DHS students joined others
from Corrigin DHS, Perth Modern,
taking place!

European ship to sight the continent.
The Leeuwin Galleon's logbook has
never
been
recovered,
so
unfortunately very little is known
about the voyage, including the
name of the Captain. Interestingly,
Dutch East India Company letters
indicate that the Leeuwin’s voyage
from Texel in the Netherlands to
Batavia (now Jakarta) took more
than a year, whereas other vessels
made the same voyage in less than
four months. This suggests that poor
navigation
may
have
been
responsible for the Leeuwin’s
appearance at Australia’s coast.

With the temperatures increasing you will need to check your
troughs, dams and other water points more frequently. Water
quantity, volume and quality will need to be closely monitored
to ensure that stock do not go thirsty.
It is also important to make arrangements early for a
caretaker to look after stock if you are going on holidays.
Stock need regular monitoring. Correct identification can
assist in the return of your animals should they decide to go
‘on holiday’ too while you are away!
Protect your valuable top soil. If you are starting to get bare
patches on your property you may need to consider keeping
stock isolated or in more stable paddocks to reduce the risk
of wind erosion. Alternatively, consider reducing stock
numbers.
Animal manure left to build up on-farm can support outbreaks
of stable fly over the next few months. Manure should be
either broken up and incorporated into pasture or composted
in fly proof structures.
Pasture nutritional value will be dropping off, so you might
need to start hand feeding to meet stock nutritional demands.
If you can store feed in a dry area, free of excessive rodents,
buy grain and hay now rather than later.
Tomato spotted wilt virus is spread by thrips insects and may
cause severe damage to tomatoes, capsicums, lettuce and
herbs. Remove infected plants and control weeds.
Monitor soil moisture and irrigate as required, remembering to
irrigate within the effective rootzone to reduce water wastage.
Start monitoring the progress of this year’s revegetation work.
If you only planted a few trees, extra time spent watering may
increase the survival of these plants. Alternatively if you want
to increase moisture left in soil and decrease weed
competition, mulch around existing trees, remembering to
leave a gap around the trunk to prevent disease and rot.
If you have no stock, tall weeds may become an issue. Slash
or mow tall grasses, but only at low fire-risk times of day
when the air is still and cool. If in doubt, check with your local
fire officer.
Juvenile foxes are out and about. Now that lambs are big
they are at a lower risk, but poultry is now more likely the
target. Total enclosure, including a roof is the best protection.
Fruit fly activity increases and life cycle periods shorten as
the weather gets warmer, so keep up your fruit fly
management program – make sure you clean up after any
early harvests and maintain baiting/trapping in harvested
blocks for a minimum of four weeks after harvest.
Until next time keep safe and remember if you are not yet
ready for the summer fire season then don’t wait any longer –
act now. Jodie

boys is looking forward to a successful season. We
welcome new players in Peter Stevens, Mark Thomas,
Nick Jacobs and Ian Connell.
Beverley’s first game was scheduled on Saturday 18th
October against York in Beverley unfortunately rain
intervened and the game was declared a draw without a
ball being bowled.
partnership of 41 between Jake Fleay and Stephen Gollan
saw Beverley off to a good start. Beverley batted well to
make 153 off 43, with Stephen Gollan top scoring with
78. Brookton started well in chase of Beverley’s score
with an opening partnership of 26, until Vance
Blechynden was well caught by Mark Thomas for 8.
Brookton then collapsed to lose their remaining wickets
for 16 runs, due to some fine fast bowling from Dale
Wansbrough and Beau McLean, with good support from
Wayde McLean. Thomas McLean played well (7 not out
and took 1 for 1), the club welcomed back Robert Ugle
who played his first game for 3 seasons.
Sunday 16th November 2014, Beverley was due to play
