HOSPITAL patients from the Great Southern would be able to stay in specially-built

hotels before and after surgery under a policy announced by Labor.

Shadow Minister for Health Roger Cook said it currently cost between $1,500 and $2,000 a day to keep a patient in a hospital bed.

“You could accommodate someone in a six-star hotel cheaper than that,” he said.

“So why not look at doing things differently, improving services as you go along and making a system more effi cient?”

He said under a system already operating in Queensland, “mediho-tels” were built in or near hospitals to accommodate patients after their operations.

“They’re too sick to undertake the arduous journey home but not sick enough to stay in a hospital,” he said.

“We want to accommodate those

Medihotels for region?

Shadow Minister for Health Roger Cook discusses local health care issues with Member for Albany Peter Watson on Tuesday.

people in a specialised hotel environ-ment potentially with family staying with them.

“They can continue to receive vis-its and clinical care but continue to receive post-operative care and recu-perate in a more relaxed environment than staying in a hospital bed.”

He said this introduced an important fl exibility to the healthcare system.

“There’s no such thing as a standard patient to fi t a standard bed,” he said.

“Patients come with different levels of need and requiring different levels of care.

“Medihotels is about adapting hos-pitals to meet the needs of patients rather than demanding that patients meet the needs of hospitals.

“If necessary they could be accom-modated in a medihotel the night before an operation if their operation is very early in the morning.”

He said Labor was yet to announce which Perth site or sites it planned to build medihotels on but preliminary costing showed they could deliver

an “extraordinary amount” of extra capacity.

“In Western Australia a country patient has an average length-of-stay of about nine days,” he said.

“If we can reduce that length-of-stay by just two days the opportu-nities to deliver more services are

amazing so we save $60 million in terms of effi ciency each year.

“We free up over 5,000 hospital bed-days right across the system al-lowing us to treat another 54 patients a day.”

He said medihotels would be the fi rst in a series of announcements to

form a health policy package called “putting patients fi rst”.

“This is about changing the conver-sation in health away from this tired old rhetoric around cutting budgets, restricting access to services,” he said.

“We are starting off by saying ‘surely there’s a fresh way that we can look at this, a new way that we can cast the health debate which puts the patient at the centre of everything we do’.”

Greens’ candidate for Albany David Rastrick said his party welcomed initiatives that offered better services for country patients.

“The Greens WA support keeping WA’s hospital system as a govern-ment service, as this is one way of ensuring that quality health treatment is available to all community mem-bers, not just the wealthy,” he said.

Nationals’ WA candidate Robbie Sutton and Liberals’ candidate Greg Stocks have been contacted for com-ment.

REGIONAL students are expect-ed to benefi t from better access to higher education as the federal government starts rolling out its $93.4 million election commit-ment during 2017.

The pressure could fi nally be lifted from regional families try-ing to fund their children’s living expenses, which has forced many regional students to delay their studies by taking 18 months off to earn money, penalising them compared to their city counter-parts.

O’Connor MP Rick Wilson said that from January 1, 2018, the workforce independence provi-sions for Youth Allowance and ABSTUDY Living Allowance will be reduced from 18 months to 14 months, benefiting this year’s Year 12 students.

Mr Wilson said the change

was subject to the passage of legislation that will change the required period for regional and remote area students to earn the nominated sum to satisfy the necessary provisions.

Students fi nishing Year 12 this year will be able to take advan-tage of the 14 month period to earn $24,042 and be considered independent for Youth Allowance or ABSTUDY Living Allowance.

“Importantly, young people who are considered independent may receive a higher rate of pay-ment because, unlike dependent recipients of Youth Allowance or ABSTUDY Living Allow-ance, their rate is not reduced based on parental income,” Mr Wilson said.

Students will be able to prove independence within a year of leaving school and access Youth

Allowance and ABSTUDY while retaining their place at university.

“Breaking down the barri-ers that make it more diffi cult for regional students to attend university has been a long-term priority for me so it’s very satis-fying to see these requirements amended.”

About 3,700 regional and re-mote students across Australia are expected to benefi t from this change.

Regional and remote students will also be supported through a 50 per cent increase to the Assis-tance for Isolated Children (AIC) Additional Boarding Allowance and the means-tested component of ABSTUDY Group 2 School Fees Allowance.

“Rural families have been pushing for changes to the ad-

ditional boarding allowance and the Government is committed to delivering these reforms,” Mr Wilson said.

“This means lower income families in O’Connor who are geographically isolated will receive additional assistance to improve access to educational opportunities.”

The Additional Boarding Al-lowance is a means-tested sup-plementary payment to provide extra support for lower-income families with a secondary student who boards away from home.

This is in addition to a non-means tested Basic Boarding Allowance to contribute to the costs of boarding a student away from home.

Funds for regional students

ALBANY marine scien-tist Dr Harriet Paterson is inviting beachgoers to help with a citizen science project.

Dr Paterson is studying microfi bres, tiny plastic fragments that tend to ac-cumulate inside fi sh and other marine life.

“These are fibres that have come from fi shing ropes, peoples’ laundry, washing their fl eeces and other things. It’s all plas-tic that’s broken down,” she said.

“It also gets into the food chain.”

She said plankton and small fish swallow the tiny fibres but cannot digest them.

When larger fish eat these creatures they grad-ually accumulate the in-digestible plastic in their own bodies.

“Then it gets bio-accu-mulated into bigger fi sh and the fi sh that we eat,” Dr Paterson said.

“It leaches chemicals called phthalates and those chemicals leach into the bodies of the fi sh.

“We eat the fi sh, they get into us and it’s going to be

a big issue one day.”Phthalates are a group of

chemicals used to make plastics more fl exible and

harder to break. A US Government fact

sheet says some types of phthalates have affected

the reproductive system of laboratory animals, but human health effects from exposure to low

levels of phthalates are unknown.

Dr Paterson studies the amount of microfi bre pol-lution on each beach by obtaining a one kilogram sample and examining part of it under a micro-scope.

She said volunteers had already collected 200 samples from beaches between Geraldton and Albany, but needed sam-ples from beaches east of Manypeaks.

“I’ve got some samples but not from as many beaches as I’d like and the remoter the better,” she said.

If you would like to help Dr Paterson in her research, you can obtain a labelled sample bucket from the UWA Albany front desk or by phoning 9842 0888.

MOST of us have heard of the Padre White Lookout, which is located near the Desert Mounted Corps monument on top of Mt Clar-ence, but not everybody knows the story behind this signifi cant site. Padre White is a revered character in Albany’s

history.From 1916 to 1918, he served as an Army

chaplain with the 44th Battalion and on his return to Australia delivered sermons in remembrance of locals who lost their lives in World War I.At the dawn of April 25, 1930, he led parish-

ioners from St John’s Church to the summit of Mt Clarence, where an observance took place marked by a boatman laying a wreath in King George Sound.It is the recorded events of this day in Albany

which mark the birth of the Dawn Service tradi-tion.The Padre White Lookout is the region’s most

visited lookout, and serves as an enduring place of refl ection, a lasting monument to Ernest White and what many regard as Australia’s fi rst Anzac Day Dawn Service. – Anne Simpson

MOVIE buffs can take a step back in time and re-live the excitement of rolling up to the drive-in thanks to a bit of modern technology and the en-thusiasm of Central 70 owner Tom Kennedy.

Mr Kennedy successful-ly re-launched his latest venture on Saturday night at the site of the original Central 70 on Stead Road and was excited at the prospect of giving people a taste of the drive-in cul-ture during summer.

“We trialled it in Sep-tember just to test every-thing out,” he said.

“We worked out a few things. We had to raise the screen by a metre so everyone could see over each other’s four-wheel-drives.”

“They didn’t have those back in the 60s.”

“Saturday night was awesome. We had 30 cars, which makes the place look busy and there were kids running around making new friends and everyone was having a great time.”

Mr Kennedy said the original site that ran from December 1964 to February 1983 was re-nowned for having some of the best equipment when it opened, and got its name from its location and the fact it boasted a

70mm projector.He said he also wanted

to re-create the best pos-sible experience and was keen to get a mix of lo-cals and tourists through the gates while he tests the interest by screening movies every Saturday night during January.

“We’ve got an awesome 1080P full HD projector which we’re really happy with and with the stereos

that a lot of people have in their cars, the sound is great too,” he said.

Mr Kennedy said he was also hoping to get com-munity groups on board to use the facility for fundraising by showing special-interest fi lms.

Upcoming fi lms include The Man From Snowy River, Finding Dory, Mad Max and The BFG.

THE Great Southern suf-fered its worst road toll in at least seven years with 32 people dying on local roads throughout 2016.This has prompted calls from the RAC for a re-newed focus on deliver-ing the state’s road safety strategy Towards Zero.

RAC genera l man-ager corporate affairs, Will Golsby, said the region’s road toll had more than tripled from 10 in 2010 to 32 fatali-ties last year, despite the Towards Zero strategy

Movie magic returns Win a $50 food voucher in our new competitionHIDING somewhere amongst the pages of this week’s paper is a western ground parrot.Find him and you could win a $50 food voucher to spend at North Road Supa IGA.You also have more chance of spotting The Week-ender’s western ground parrot than the real thing.The bird is so elusive, that it wasn’t until 2004 that someone managed to take a photo of it in the wild. The western ground parrot is one of the world’s rarest and most endangered birds and its remaining tiny population exists here on the South Coast.

It originally occupied WA coastal areas from Cape Arid to Dongara; however, the bird is now limited to the Fitzgerald and Cape Arid national parks.

Its exact population numbers are unknown, but it is thought no more than 140 individual birds exist in the wild.

As its name suggests, the parrot is a ground-feeding bird, making it highly susceptible to at-tacks by feral predators.

The bushfi res which devastated Cape Arid Na-tional Park in 2015 are also likely to have had a negative effect on its already fragile population.

To enter the competition, please email [email protected] before noon on Monday with your name and phone number and tell us on which page you spotted the parrot.

All correct answers will go into a draw and the winner selected at random.

The winner’s name will be published in next week’s Weekender.

being signed in 2009.“Every life lost on WA

roads is one too many and each has a lasting ripple effect in the com-munity,” Mr Golsby said.

“It’s clear that lead-ing into the State Elec-tion in March, both the state government and the opposition need to act immediately and re-evaluate their approach to the Towards Zero road safety strategy if we’re to reach the strategy’s tar-get of 40 per cent fewer deaths by 2020.”

A preliminary count shows, shockingly, the Great Southern’s road toll more than doubled in 2016, compared to the 12 lives lost in 2015.

This dramatic rise in Great Southern road deaths is echoed in the state’s road toll, with 194 people killed on WA roads in 2016 – 33 more

than WA’s 2015 total.“Road fatalities in re-

gional WA remain un-acceptably high,” Mr Golsby said.

“The Great Southern, Wheatbelt and South Wes t a l l pe r fo rmed poorly and the Great Southern’s fatality rate remains more than fi ve times higher than the state rate of 7.36.

“As a community we cannot continue to be complacent. We can and need to do more to stop fatalities and serious in-juries on our roads.”

The latest Annual Re-port released by the Road Safety Commission iden-tified that $95 million remained unspent in the Road Trauma Trust Ac-count.

This funding is avail-able for road safety ini-tiatives across Western Australia.

Road toll rise for 2016

REGIONAL growers, educators and passionate food advocates will have a unique opportunity to discover the intricacies of growing their own food and how to improve the basic soil structure that is an ongoing challenge for most of those living in the Great Southern.

The Soil and Food Health Conference will be a day-long event presented by Women in Agriculture, a broad term incorporat-ing the sponsorship and support from three major rural women’s networks: Rural, Regional & Re-mote Women’s Network (RRR), Women In Farm-ing Enterprises (WIFE) and Australian Women in Agriculture (AWiA).

These groups have been developed out of a need to acknowledge and sup-port the roles played by women in all areas of farming.

The familiar term “you are what you eat” has become increasingly rel-evant in recent times and will be explored by the guest speakers, including well-known personality and MC for the day, Sab-rina Hahn, Nicole Mas-ters (Auckland, NZ), Dr Carole Hungerford (Syd-ney) and Maree Gooch (Perth).

The women will de-liver some dynamic and thought-provoking pres-entations, likely to reso-nate with anyone who has concerns about the way we grow our food and the impact it has on global health.

Soil health issues will be addressed by Hahn based on her 40 years in the horticultural industry.

Hahn has one of WA’s most recognised voices on ABC radio, along with her signature cackle and exuberant attitude towards all aspects of gardening.

She has also been de-scribed as a whole lot of hort with heart, master gardener, writer and sto-ryteller of note.

Real dirt exposed

Sabrina is a highly en-tertaining speaker and a media pioneer in advocat-ing sustainable gardening practices.

Gooch will be refl ecting on some of the less talked about aspects of farm safe practices, such as chemi-cal use and educating and empowering women in agriculture.

She is a consulting pro-ject director with Safe Farms WA alliance and also chair of the RRR.

The management of soils in relation to agri-cultural productivity and health will be covered by Nicole Masters, director at Integrity Soils (NZ).

Her presentation will be based on what she has witnessed internationally.

She is one of a growing number of people who are facilitating a rapidly expanding world of qual-ity food production and biological communities.

Dr Hungerford is a gen-eral practitioner and a strong believer in pre-ventative health measures and reducing our reliance on artifi cial pharmaceu-ticals.

She will make the health link from our food to the human body, and how the quality of what we eat is

the best preventative to many medical ailments.

The Soi l and Food Health Conference will be held at the AEC from 10am to 6pm on Saturday, January 28 and includes a full day conference, lunch and networking sundowner.

There will also be an in-teractive Q and A with the expert panel at the end, with stalls from present-ers and sponsors alike.

Tickets are $140 and are available through Tick-etek or at the AEC Box Offi ce.

Sabrina Hahn will be conference MC.

WARNING!NOTICE

DAVID and Christine McLean sold The Albany Hotel for an undisclosed sum last week.

The new owners are Nev Walton and Lexy Grover.

“For ten-and-a-half years we’ve kept it as a country pub which is as it should be,” Ms McLean said.

“Our staff and customers are very important to us.”

The outgoing owners farewelled their regular customers on Thursday night with a few drinks.

“We invited all of our members to be there and a big heap of them turned up,” Mr McLean said.

He said they decided to start a

membership group about fi ve years ago. “I had an aim of getting 50 members and we just clocked 148,” he said.

“Membership entitles you to dis-counts and all that sort of stuff.

“They just pay a membership fee every year which we put back for them anyway. We have a Christmas show and another one during the year.”

He said The Albany Hotel was the oldest in WA and had the rare distinction of currently being the only pub operating in the town’s main street.

According to the historic plaques

in the hotel, The Albany was the fi rst licensed hotel in the state in 1835. The original proprietor was Bob Dickinson and his phone number was 31.

Once described as a superior fam-ily hotel, it still retains the original slogan, “Still in public service.”

THE weekend’s Adven-turethon Albany again attracted some of the best local talent and competi-tors from all corners of Australia.

There were 300 entries over the weekend event, which included the ultra, duathlon and kids com-petition.

Reveling in the wind and rough water condi-tions was Albany’s Kris Plain who claimed vic-tory whilst competing in the Adventurethon Albany Ultra event on Saturday.

Plain fi nished the course in an impressive time of 3 hours 53 minutes and 14 seconds, more than eight minutes faster than his nearest rival, Tom Chad-bourne, who was second (4h 1m 47s).

Plain has now won three Adventurethon Albany Ultra events.

Third place was claimed by 17-year-old Douglas Lewin (4h 12m 58s), who was third in the Adventur-ethon Albany 2016 race.

The fi rst woman in the individual Adventure-thon Albany Ultra event was Ariarn Huston who crossed the finish line with in a time of 5h 8m 6s.

Organisers Joel and Ta-mara Savage were happy with the event despite some challenging weath-

er, with strong winds blowing over their entry and fi nishing gates.

The former local resi-dents included Albany on the list of Adventurethon venues which include north Queensland, north-ern NSW, Victoria and WA’s Kalbarri.

“I must admit it’s the reason we chose Albany, but the visiting athletes love the natural beauty,” Mr Savage said. “It’s the best course we have.”

“Of the 300 entries over the weekend, 80 per cent are from out of town. We are hoping to continue bringing the event here, but need more funding.

“We wanted to bring more professional ath-letes but costs cut the number.”

The ultra event was not for the faint-of-heart, consisting of an ocean paddling leg from the An-zac Peace Park out past the shipwreck, Cheynes

II, then through Atuturk Channel to the Quaranup peninsula where com-petitors attempted a 2km rock-hopping run before continuing on the gru-eling ocean paddle.

Finally back on dry land, competitors set out on their mountain bikes for a 22km trek to Mt Mel-ville then Mt Clarence with great views and var-ied terrain to test even the most experienced of mountain bike riding en-thusiasts.

Event an adventure

Joel and Tamara Savage are hoping to organise the challenging event next year.

The paddle leg to Quaranup began in front of the Albany Anzac Park.

Kris Plain enjoyed the local conditions.Ariarn Huston enjoys crossing the line as the fi rst woman.

A LONGSTANDING Shire of Denmark coun-cillor has died.

CEO Bill Parker said staff and councillors were saddened to learn of former councillor Alex Syme’s passing.

“Former councillor Syme is remembered as an active councillor who served with integrity and held a strong passion for the environment,” Mr Parker said.

“Mr Syme’s contribu-tion to the protection of the local environment was recognised through life membership of the Denmark Environment Centre.

“He was a founding member and served as convener up until his elec-tion to Council in 1997.”

THE National Anzac Centre and National Archives of Australia have partnered to provide visitors to the Albany Precinct with complimenta-ry access to the Discovering Anzacs online-research archive.

This will be available free of charge at a technology kiosk located at the Forts Store.

Albany Heritage Park manager Matt Hammond said the kiosk would enable visitors and locals to conduct their own archival research on the Australian and New Zealand contribution to World War I.

“The National Anzac Centre is a cultural pilgrimage for Australians wishing to honour and remember the Anzacs of the First World War,” he said. “We pride ourselves on deliver-ing state-of-the-art experiences that refl ect this.”

“The kiosk will be a valuable

resource for those wishing to un-dertake further research on the personal stories interpreted within the National Anzac Centre.”

Discovering Anzacs enables users to explore a diverse selection of government records about Austral-ians and New Zealanders in World War I and the Boer War.

Users can recreate the wartime journey of an individual on the front-line, or those left behind at home, as well as explore a growing selection of government records about sol-diers, munitions workers, nurses, conscription, internment, wartime copyright and patents, defence cor-respondence and more.

The National Archives of Australia developed Discovering Anzacs in partnership with Archives New Zealand as a gift to both nations for the centenary of World War I.

“We’re proud to be able to bring together the offi cial records of the National Archives of Australia and the Archives of New Zealand in our Discovering Anzacs website,” direc-tor-general of the National Archives of Australia David Fricker said.

In all, the site includes the records of more than 600,000 people in-volved in confl icts or behind the scenes, including those of munitions workers, internees and merchant marines, as well as servicemen and women.

“We hope members of the public will post their own photographs, news clippings and tributes to their relatives,” Mr Fricker said.

“I’m sure many people will also enjoy playing an active role in transcribing records online to make them more searchable – as many have done already.” Visitors to the centre can follow the path of soldiers through WWI.

owns the bay mare with O’Loughlin, couldn’t wipe the smile off his face and was singing the young trainer’s praises after the race.

“He’s only a young bloke, but he’s so passionate,” Cooper said.

“It’s not like he’s got all day to train horses either.”

“He works as a full-time boiler-maker on top of his work with the horses, but he’s just so keen.

“That’s exactly what you need, a young trainer who’s keen. He’s great at reading the horses and I think it’s defi nitely in his blood.

“We were pipped last year with Crystal Gardens and felt unlucky, so it’s great to have stuck by her and to get this one.”

Cooper was also full of praise for veteran jockey Miller, who’s at the opposite end of the measuring tape to most of his counterparts.

“That was a great ride. Danny re-ally used his experience to sort her out because she can be a bit stub-born,” Cooper said.

The long-odds win drew rous-ing cheers from the crowd for O’Loughlin and his connections

as Miller brought Elite Flight back to scale.

Despite a shaky grip on the win-ning bracelet that was presented by The Great Southern Weekender’s general manager Russ Cooper, the young trainer kept his cool to thank his supporters, connections and wife Katie, who had worked with Elite Flight in the lead up to the race.

The Albany Racing Club will follow up the glamour of Ladies’ Day with another meeting at Percy Spencer Racecourse this Saturday, January 14, as it gears up towards the Albany Cup in April.

feature of the week

By TOM PURDY

THE sun-drenched Percy Spencer Racecourse was the only place to be on Sun-day afternoon as a sharply

dressed holiday crowd gathered for the Albany Racing Club’s annual Ladies’ Day.

The event is one of the social high-lights on the club’s racing calendar and the sparkling punters were blessed with plenty of sunshine and near-perfect weather to enjoy the day’s racing and events.

In between races, all eyes were on

the regional heat of the WA Country Cup’s Fashions on the Field and this year’s ambassador Holly Young.

Kalgoorlie’s Jennifer Jones got the judge’s nod of approval and was a popular winner from the pool of 10 fi nalists who all went to that extra effort in this annual celebration that tips the hat to women’s involvement in racing.

The feature race saw the enthusi-astic crowd line the track to watch Danny Miller, at 69 years, one of the oldest jockeys in the game, use every bit of cunning and experience to bring Elite Flight home over the

last 200m to claim The Great South-ern Weekender Bracelet (1603m).

The six-year-old mare had indif-ferent form heading into the Ladies’ Day feature, but jockey Miller got her out of the gate and gave her the ride she needed to blitz home by a comfortable length from the Paul Hunter-trained Qingdao.

The result repaid the faith shown by young winning trainer Liam O’Loughlin who believed the mare could repeat its triumph of the same race in 2015 under trainer Steve Wolfe.

Historyof Health

Willem Einthoven and the dawn of ECG technology

Welcome to the History of Health, a regular series of articles by Albany Health Campus hospitalist/senior medical practitioner Dr Brendan Carson (BSc BM BS, FRACGP).

If you’re ever in a hos-pital emergency de-partment and nurses

are sticking dots on your chest and conducting an electrocardiogram (ECG), you might want to be thinking relaxing thoughts.

For example, you might want to think about Dr Willem Einthoven and where the whole idea of where an ECG comes from.

Willem Einthoven lived over a hundred years ago.

He was a fairly unre-markable medical stu-dent and looked to be

a fairly unremarkable doctor until one day he attended a demonstration of the electrogram.

T h e e l e c t r o g r a m seemed to consist of a large wooden box, two jars of water and a bull-dog.

Wires from the box dan-gled in the jars of water, and the bulldog stood with one foot in each jar.

The bulldog’s name was Jimmy.

The doctor, Dr Waller, showed how every beat of Jimmy’s heart showed up in a twitch of the nee-dle of the electrogram.

Einthoven was ein-tranced.

Waller was not par-ticularly interested in the uses of the electrogram, but Einthoven certainly was.

He would have been fa-miliar with the centuries of research that showed that electricity had some-thing to do with the heart.

A hundred years ear-lier, Dr Abildgaard had electrocuted chickens to stop their heart and then electrically resuscitated them.

Einthoven would have understood the basic ideas: electricity makes muscles twitch, the heart is a muscle, the fl ow of electricity in the heart makes the heart beat.

The e l ec t rogram - which was just a device for measuring electricity - was recording that fl ow of electricity.

But the electrogram was too clunky and insensi-tive to be much use, so Einthoven improved it.

Some of his earlier models had significant problems.

O n e m o d e l w a s ex t remely sens i t ive to even the slightest tremor, so Einthoven dug a hole in the fl oor of his laboratory, put the machine in and packed around it with rocks.

Another was more reliable, but filled two rooms and required fi ve operators.

But eventually Einthov-en was able to produce “das normale electrok-ardiogramm.”

The person experi-encing the electrocar-diogram still had to, like Jimmy the bulldog, sit

with hands or feet in buckets of salty water.

But when they did, Ein-thoven could measure the electrical flow through their heart with great pre-cision - and start to look at how healthy and sick hearts were different.

What this means today is that if your heartbeat is irregular, or if we suspect you may have had a heart attack, or if someone in your family has died of a strange heart condition and you’re worried you might have it, one of the fi rst things doctors and nurses do is stick some stickers onto your chest and measure the way electricity fl ows through your heart.

And it’s all down to Einthoven, Waller, Dr Abildgaard’s chickens, and Jimmy the Bulldog.

– Doc Brendan

A L B A N Y H e a l t h C a m p u s ( A H C ) midwives working in the new Team Midwifery model of care safely successfully delivered their first baby on December 14.

T h i s n ew m o d e l came about as a direct r e s p o n s e t o m a ny requests from Great Southern mothers for midwives to be involved in their care throughout pregnancy and birth.

AHC clinical nurse manager maternity and

newborn Angie Farlie said that until the introduction of the team, women were cared for mainly by their GP and often only came into contact with a midwife once they were in labour.

“As well as providing g r e a t e r c h o i c e f o r mothers, this also adds to the attraction of the Great Southern for midwives, as they're trained to deliver holistic maternity care and see this as a core role in their practice,” Ms Farlie said.

“We believed that by introducing a variety of choices for women we could encourage midwives to come and live and work in the region.”

Ms Farlie said that since the introduction of the new model, additional midwives were recruited to fully staff the roster.

“The new staff said they were attracted because of the new model of care,” she said.

Team Midwifery offers continuity of midwifery

care for low-risk women and their families in collaboration with a specifi c group of GPs.

Expectan t mothers wanting to take part in the program should contact Albany Health Campus Maternity Unit on 9892 2310.

Hospital's new midwifery model gives mums a greater choice

PostscriptNo animals were h a r m e d i n t h e invent ion of the ECG, because its wires don’t carry live current.

Jimmy the Bulldog travelled the world, assisting Dr Waller for many years.

D r A b i l d g a a rd (who was actually a vet) reported that all of his resuscitated chickens survived, at least one escaped and ran off, and one was back laying eggs a few days later.

To answer Mr Shanhun’s letter – The Weekender, January 5 - since

the fi rst proposal for an artifi cial surf reef back in the late 1980s and up until now, we surfers have contributed to Albany’s economy many millions of dollars, way more than the $8 million dollars expected to build this reef.

Adult surfers ‘do’ own homes and pay rates and taxes, teenager surfers buy clothing and surfboards and buy fuel when they go surfi ng and they pay taxes. The younger surfers do spend money at food outlets and surf shops: as for tourist surfers, “who cares” - its for the Albany surfers.

When the visitors do come here to surf, that’s a bonus for the city and its retailers.

As for the risk of surfi ng a reef break and sharks, most WA surfers accept full responsibility for their actions.

Eastern states’ surfers feel the gov-ernment should do more to protect them. That’s impossible.

Mr Robertson - the dredging spoil that was dumped by the Department of Transport (PWD) back in 1985 just off Middleton Beach did have an effect on the sea bed contours from 1986 onwards; that’s what messed up the good surf that we did have.

The main cause of erosion at Emu Point was when coastal engineer Nellero Suragusso built the groyne in 1990. He ignored the advice of many knowledgeable locals. Now look what’s happened, there will be more

problems. The other option is to use the rocks from the groyne at Whale World that will fi x up that problem from the past 15 years.

In this time of coastal changes and storm damage, a reef will not obstruct the ocean dynamics. It’s only when you let our government build infra-structure closer to the beach or rock walls then you get problems.

The proof is there to see and no poli-tician wants to accept responsibility for their f… ups.

– Tony Harrison, Little Grove

Wave power and renewablesIt was refreshing to read Allanah

MacTiernan and Peter Watson’s po-litical stand on supporting renewable energy - something Australia needs to pick up the pace on.

However it did make me wonder where each individual candidate for the upper and lower house of the Western Australian Parliament have stood on installing renewable energy into their own homes.

How many domestic solar panels does the Labor candidate have as compared to the Libs or Nats?

How many does the Greens’ can-didate have compared to the One Nation candidate? They may have other relevant renewable domestic accoutrements?

Maybe some of them are “fracking” in their backyards? It would be nice to know who has walked the walk rather than talked the talk on renewables.

– Michael O’Doherty, Albany

Response to reef questions

Albany’s worst road surface?

I have driven along Alfred Street in McKail every day on the way

to work for a number of years and have to say, it has to have the worst road surface for a residential street anywhere in Albany. Boasting more fi lled-in pot holes than it does actual road bitumen, the surface would look more at home in a Third World country than Australia!

Every winter, the rain washes out the bitumen fi lled-in pot holes and makes the holes bigger. They then get fi lled in with more bitumen and as soon as it rains the whole process begins again! The people of this town and especially Alfred Street deserve better than this! I would love to know when the council plan on resurfacing this road properly?

– Steve McGovern, Albany

East River RoadI would like to congratulate the Shire

of Denmark for turning down a proposal to establish a major road bridge in a sensitive forest location near Denmark. The decision makes sound economic, social and environmental sense and paves the way for a proper process of community consultation.

This decision sends a strong mes-sage to the government that Royal-ties for Region funding needs to be allocated in a transparent and well-planned way.

With our current budgetary defi cits,

this is not the time to support expen-sive road and bridge projects that are environmentally damaging and of unproven benefi t.

However, I’m concerned state gov-ernment may withdraw funding for the development of a proposed new light industrial area for Denmark.

Terry Redman as Minister for Regional Development needs to guarantee continued funding for this new industrial site, a project urgently needed and one that has been many years in the planning.

I wholeheartedly support Denmark Council taking a comprehensive look at what its town requires in the way of preparing for a major emergency such as wildfi re.

– Diane EversGreens’ candidate for the South West

Water and kidsI write to urge all readers enjoying

this summer around pools and other water bodies to ensure an adult is always dedicated to super-vise children in these environments.

On average four children under the age of fi ve drown in WA each year and Royal Life Saving Society WA doesn’t want this year to become tinged with grief by the loss of a child. Young children are naturally curious and attracted to water, but are too young to understand the concept of danger, making supervision vital.Active adult supervision is the

number one action we can take to keep our children safe.

The Weekender, January 12, 2017 1312 The Weekender, January 12, 2017

THE Albany Water Ski Club is already preparing to host its next Lower Great Southern Ski Cham-pionship after this year’s successful event over the weekend.

The long-running sporting event again attracted a mix of com-petitors, both young and old to the Kalgan River.

About 32 skiers took part in three disciplines – slalom, trick and jump – with many completing personal bests to earn points in the regular

state series competition.Club president Geoff Brady said

this was noticeable with the many youngsters who took part in coach-ing clinics before the championship began.

“We had a very successful event,” Mr Brady said.

“There were some great results, especially by those accomplishing personal bests.”

Although some of the state’s top skiers were competing in the

eastern states, Mr Brady said the Albany event is keenly supported every year. As a result he expects the 50th championship next year to be “big”.

He said the feature of the weekend was provided by Damon Nottle who took on the slalom gradually increasing his speed to the maxi-mum and reducing the tow-rope length.

“He did fi ve buoys on an 11 metre rope - very impressive,” he said.

Local Stephen Moss undertakes some tricky moves during the Lower Great Southern Ski Championships on the Kalgan River.

A FAVOURITE weekend drive for Albany residents is Darrel Rad-cliffe’s fantasy sculpture drive off Mercer Road in Walmsley.

Mr Radcliffe has placed dozens of his chainsaw carvings on either side of a track on his bush block, between sculptures carved directly into living and dead trees.

It is well worth driving the circuit at least twice as you are sure to miss many of the owls, eagles and other works hidden in trees and derelict vehicles the fi rst time around.

It is almost two years since The Weekender last visited the property

and in the meantime the number of carvings has more than doubled.

“I have been on long-service leave,” Mr Radcliffe said.

“I’ve just been concentrating on this little sculpture drive and it’s been hugely successful. It’s much more fun than doing commissions.”

Commissions for the City of Albany now include two works at Emu Point, two at Eyre Park and one at Cull Park.

Although he has been a Porongu-rup Art in the Park winner Mr Rad-cliffe said he had no plans to enter

larger competitions in the city or place his work in galleries.

“I just enjoy it more. I’m semi-retired just out here and it’s much easier, there’s no stress,” he said.

“I was contacted by two lots of Australian tourist buses so I’ve widened the road and they come in quite regularly - about once a month.”

The property is open to visitors daily from 8am to 5pm. Mr Rad-cliffe asks guests to stay in their vehicles for safety reasons.

WHILE the sale of air-conditioners continues to grow, many homeowners overlook ceiling fans, despite the fact that they can make a room feel four to fi ve degrees cooler!

Some other great benefi ts of ceiling fans are:

They can complement air-conditioners and help them run more effi ciently, which is better for the environment and signifi cantly reduces electricity bills.

Ceiling fans are helpful if installed above dining tables or kitchens because they dissuade fl ying pests from entering the room.

Ceiling fans also have a number of benefi ts over fl oor-standing or smaller desk-style fans. Ceiling fans become part of the room’s décor, save space and are safer particularly for children and pets.

Today’s ceiling fans are more effi cient with improvements in motors, controls, blade design

and reduced weight, making them a feature of a room instead of an eyesore.

A recent innovation in ceiling fans is the latest version of the Ventair Spyda fan in which moulded plastic blades replace the traditional metal or steel variety.

The Ventair Spyda moulded design promotes large amounts of airfl ow with minimal noise, and is safe to use in areas where inadvertent contact with fans blades may occur.

A MT Barker homeowner will be offered a 272sqm strip of land at the back of his property if he pays all council costs.

Council decided that the landowner, Tony Smith, who intended to build his retirement home on a bat-tleaxe block behind 18 Muir Street, could resume a right of way at the back of his property.

The shire created the right of way in the 1990s to provide a service road to make it easier to subdi-vide lots between Gorman Street and the Catholic Church.

The Minister for Lands must now approve the amalgamation of the properties.

MT Barker Turf Club will partner with Community TAB to raise much-needed funds for Motor Neu-ron Disease (MND) Research at the annual Grapes & Gallops Race Day on Sunday, January 22.

The Community TAB program be-gan in early 2015 and since then has seen more than $280,000 raised for not-for-profi t organisations around WA through partnerships between race clubs and Community TAB.

Community TAB partners with every race club in WA to raise funds for a local not-for-profi t organisa-tion and matches dollar-for-dollar all funds raised at major race days up to $5,000.

Mt Barker Turf Club is taking part in the program for the fi rst time this year.

Secretary Coralie Caporn said

MND Research was chosen as partner because there were some people with the disease in their community.

“The funding from this day will go to MND Research to assist all people with the disease and also those local to Mt Barker,” Ms Ca-porn said.

“Our Grapes & Gallops Day is the highlight of our season with around 2,000 attendees.

“Fundraising will be happen-ing on the day through raffl es by volunteers.”

Racing and Wager ing WA (RWWA) chairman Jeff Ovens said the positive effects of the fundrais-ing program had been extensive for regional WA with a vast majority of WA race clubs based in regional communities.

“RWWA recognises that race clubs play an important role in their community contributing economi-cally and socially,” Mr Ovens said.

“Partnerships like these are an ex-ample of the strong connection race clubs have with the communities in which they operate.

“Community TAB is proud to play our own part in giving back to the community by partnering with our race clubs around WA.

“Our donation to MND Research is one of more than 50 community organisations that will be support-ed as part of Community TAB’s $150million contribution to the WA community this year.”

Community TAB will match all funds raised on the day up to $2,000.

MT BARKER artist Carly Le Cerf is holding an exhibition of new landscape paintings called Afterglow at a Walpole gallery later this month,

Although known for her recent ex-hibitions of images based on aerial photographs, she said Afterglow was the result of time she had spent on a hill near Cranbrook.

Ms Le Cerf said while she was there she made watercolour sketches and took photographs which she then worked on back at her Mt Barker studio.

She used these images to paint with the hot wax-based medium called encaustic, a style familiar to those who have seen her recent exhibitions.

The result is a series of images of hillsides dotted with trees in a rosy pre-sunset light.

“That’s why it’s titled Afterglow,” she said.

“I’ve always loved the impressionist painters and the way they were able to capture that last minute light before it’s dark.

“They are all of that colour.”Afterglow opens at Petrichor Gallery,

8 Nockolds Street, Walpole, at 5.30pm on Friday, January 20.

It continues daily from 10am to 4pm until Sunday, February 19.

ROLLER skating enthusiasts are invited to play an entirely new sport that started in Mt Barker this summer.

Roller tag is described as a non-contact sport with each player wearing a bib carrying a velcro tag.

Players score points by stealing their opponents’ tags as they skate around a circuit at Mt Barker Rec-reation Centre.

Maria Swaddling said she and her husband Lloyd had the idea for the game while having lunch at a worksite.

“I wanted to start skating again,” she said.

“I didn’t want to just skate around in a circle; that’s pretty boring.”

After discussing options such as playing with a ball or hoops they came up with the idea of tags placed in different positions on the players’ bibs, each position being worth dif-ferent points.

The game has two teams of six players; the king, queen, joker and three pawns.

The king carries a tag in the mid-dle of his back worth 10 points and the joker a tag in the middle of her back worth 20.

The queen has no tags and the three pawns have tags on each hip worth two points each.

“Now the whole objective of the game is to get as many tags as pos-sible,” Ms Swaddling said.

“It’s very strategic because the pawns can only tag the king and the queen can tag pawns and kings.”

She said when the whistle goes the queen tries to tag as many pawns as possible and may take one of her own pawns with her for strategic reasons.

“The pawn goes straight past the other pawns and straight for the king and then tags pawns and the king, whatever she pleases,” she said.

Each round ends when the king is “tagged”.

However the king may choose to retire to the pit, whereupon the Joker takes his place.

This is a risky move as the oppos-ing team might score 20 by tagging the joker, but only 10 if they tag the king.

“Because it’s for any level of skaters what happens quite often is that someone will be out there and they’re skating their little hearts out and they’ll be exhausted,” Ms Swaddling said.

“They’ll come fl ying into the pit and one of them could be the king.

“If you’re playing that king posi-tion you’ve got to really think hard:

‘let them tag me or take a chance and hope the joker doesn’t get caught’.”

Ms Swaddling said the game had developed rapidly since starting in September.

“We’ve had all sorts of dynamics out there with people that are super fantastic on skates – they play it a different way,” she said.

“For someone who hasn’t skated for 30 years they’ll rock up and they’ve got a position they can play as well.

“But you put them all out there to-gether and the dynamic is fantastic to watch.”

Roller tag is a mixed game for people of all skating abilities aged 13 and up.

Ms Swaddling said they were considering starting a junior com-petition.

Anyone wanting to try their hand at the new game are invited to turn up at the Mt Barker Recrea-tion Centre with their skates on a Monday night.

Games run from 6pm to 8pm and the entry fee is $6 for the centre and a further $1 for the Roller Tag club.

Enquiries are welcome to 0419 923 728 or the Mt Barker Roller Tag Facebook page.

MT Barker kids can enjoy a daycare centre that of-fi cially exceeds national quality requirements.

Plan tagene t Ear l y Learning and Develop-ment Centre has been awarded an “exceeding” rating from the regula-tory Australian Children’s Education and Care Qual-ity Authority (ACECQA.

“Rather than just doing blanket programming which is all that’s actually required, we do individu-al programming and cater for children’s specific needs,” early childhood teacher Kylie Floate said.

She said the visiting inspector was particularly

impressed with the winter bushwalking program in State Forest over the road from the centre.

“We immerse the chil-dren in bush play which is supposed to be com-pletely unstructured and allows them to be in na-ture and do the things that kids should be doing,” Ms Floate said.

“In a childcare centre we are restricted in that – we can’t take the children outside at a whim.

“So for us to provide that for our families was quite unique – they were able to go on little scavenger hunts and we interwove our maths and literacy

into the bush experience as well.”

Every licensed cen-tre has to meet a set of criteria to be rated by ACECQA.

“A meeting (rating) is what most centres would like because it’s hard enough to get.

“Then there’s ‘exceed-ing’ and in the very rare case there is ‘exception-al’,” Ms Floate said.

The centre is affi liated with the Wanslea organi-sation.

It caters for children aged six weeks to six years and is licensed for 24 places daily.

THIS neat -as-a-p in three-bedroom home is the perfect way to hop into the property market or add to your portfolio.

The br ick and t i le home is located just a short stroll to shops and schools and oozes that simple charm that makes a home out of a house.

The enclosed front sunroom benefi ts from the north-facing aspect and the privacy that is offered by the front gar-dens that screen it from

the street. It is the per-fect place to sit back with the newspaper and a pot of tea to bask in the mid-morning sun or to knock back a cold beverage while you kick off your boots or heels and thank the stars you’ve made it through another day.

Once inside you can’t help but feel relaxed with the wide entrance-way leading you to the family-sized kitchen and lounge that is nicely worn-in after a recent modernisation.

The kitchen features modern appliances in-cluding a dishwasher and gas cooktop to make the most of the town gas supply.

There is also the fan-tastic views over Bluff Rock, Mt Clarence, Mt Melville and the city lights at night to enjoy.

A quality Kent tile fi le that would make a lum-berjack proud is sitting in the corner of the lounge waiting patiently for win-ter and the large north-facing lounge room win-

dows ensure you won’t have to light it until then.

The master king-sized bedroom also has a lovely light and bright feel and features a gen-erous built-in robe.

The remaining bed-rooms are also similarly large.

The luxurious combina-tion of an instantaneous hot water system and never-ending town gas supply may cause a queue to form outside the home’s single bath-

room, but it’s worth the wait. The new tiles, van-ity, shower and tapware add comfort and a dash of style.

On the outside there are low maintenance gardens at the front of the house and a fully en-closed yard at the back which is ideal for pets or the little ones.

There is also a small garden shed in which to keep the mower and the tools in and plenty of space for the lumberjack to keep his wood.

Ri ta McLean f rom Albany Property Bro-kers is the exclusive agent and is holding a home open on Saturday January 14 from 3pm to 3.30pm.

By ANNE SIMPSON

MIKE Taylor is one of those people who love nothing better than par-ticipating in the com-munity, with his role as president of the Albany Men’s Shed high on the list of numerous pro-jects.Born in England in

1945, Mike has a back-ground in engineering and came to Australia in 1973 as one of the last Ten Pound Poms.At the age of 40 he

moved into the insur-ance industry and ran a successful business for 10 years before deciding to take early retirement. Mike and his wife Judy

moved to Albany in 2005, possibly antici-pating a more leisurely pace of life.H o w e v e r , w i t h i n

months of residing in the

Great Southern, Mike had become heavily in-volved in setting up Al-bany’s fi rst Men’s Shed.He then spearheaded

the major fundraising push to build permanent new premises in Sanford Road, which garnered huge community and

council support and re-sulted in an infl ux of new members. “The Men’s Shed is a

passion of mine and it has made a huge differ-ence to the health and wellbeing of local men who are retired, unem-ployed, on their own and who need the friendship and support of other men.” Mike said.“Our members include

farmers, businessmen, and those in need of some respite.” The Department of

Veterans’ Affairs has also recognised the val-ue of Men’s Sheds for their veterans. The Albany Men’s

Shed, which now has close to 100 members, also participates in spe-cifi c charitable projects with retired tradies al-ways willing to share their skills and manage

various projects. Mike will be retiring

from his role as president in September, but in the meantime will continue to oversee the adminis-tration of the Men’s Shed with an excellent team of multi-skilled people. Like so many other

seniors, Mike is involved in a number of organisa-tions and is unlikely to fi nd himself with much time on his hands once he relinquishes his ex-ecutive role at the Men’s Shed.He is a member of the

Albany Probus Club, the Missions to Seaman and is the Great Southern Delegate to the state’s Freemasons.He is on the St John’s

council and sings in the church choir. Mike also enjoys walking every day and finds time to tend his garden.

IT is alarming how many people don’t have a will.

I have heard all sorts of argu-ments as to why is it unneces-sary to make a will, such as “everything will automatically go to my wife/husband/ family anyway.”

Sadly, the reality is very dif-ferent.

This is what could happen if you die Intestate – ie with no valid will. (This should not be confused with dying interstate.)

An administrator will be ap-pointed by the courts to attend to your affairs, whose duties will involve organising your funeral and collecting your assets.

These will be distributed, through a pre-determined for-mula, with certain family mem-bers receiving a percentage of your assets despite what you may have wished.It can be an expensive, lengthy

and complicated process which can also present your family with unnecessary distress and potential problems over who is entitled to inherit what.Things can get even trickier

when there is a former spouse/partner and offspring involved from previous/combined fami-lies.It’s not that hard to make a

will.Community legal services can

deal with simple wills for eligible seniors/pensioners and there are also DIY will kits available from the Post Offi ce and online sources.

If in doubt, make an appoint-ment with a lawyer regarding making your will and setting your affairs in order to ensure your family are not left unpre-pared.

TALKING about dying is never easy, nor is broaching the sub-ject of funerals, making a will and deciding who is going to inherit the family silver or Aunt Lucy’s chipped vase.

We all know that death comes to us all, and in the words of Woody Allen:

“It’s not that I’m afraid of dy-ing, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.”

My late mother, who I have mentioned in a previous col-umn, started planning her funeral when she hit 90, four years before she died.

She already had her funeral fund, which she mischievously dipped into every now and again, but ultimately covered the necessary costs when she died.

Initially I found these discus-sions rather maudlin and I didn’t want to think about life without her.

So I baulked at discussing the subject to any length es-pecially when the number of hymns she wanted, together with several pieces of glorious background music to enhance the occasion would rival an Andre Rieu concert!

Then I realised that it was not my gig – it was hers.

After all, as she briskly point-ed out, at her age she didn’t have a lot of other major events to organise and she needed to feel that she had some control over the fi nal chapters in her life. Fair enough.

So we made plans together. We also had lots of laughs, shed a few tears and shared plenty of positive thoughts.

Mum was able to impart her wishes openly and honestly and fell about laughing when I assured her she didn’t need to plan the menu for her wake.

(Nor did she need to worry about what shoes to wear to

ensure she could skip through the Pearly Gates without mis-hap).

She also wondered what people would say about her at the funeral, which made me realise how important it was to let our loved ones know how special they are while they are still alive and not wait till they have passed away.

When the time came, eve-rything fell neatly into place – we knew what mum wanted, we made sure she had lots of fl owers and music and we all celebrated her amazing life well lived.

A couple of hymns were left off the Order of Service, but she would have been delighted at the way in which her entire family gathered to wish her farewell, and share decades of memories together.

Since then I have had a much clearer idea about the need to be prepared for my family’s sake, without being

morbidly preoccupied about my own death. I have left simple instructions for my fam-ily, chosen a funeral director, nominated the kind of burial I would like and selected my favourite music.

Ultimately it will be up to them to fi nalise the arrangements, which is just fi ne.

This move may not suit every-one, but I like to think that when the time comes, it will be a help and comfort to my family.

My will is up to date, with a few special items allocated to those who hold them dear.

But I confess I have yet to organise an enduring power of attorney in case I suddenly or gradually, become unable to manage my affairs.

Stay tuned on that one…

Meanwhile, to my fellow sen-iors and elders, continue to live life well, enjoy every moment and don’t be afraid to make a few plans.

Be prepared, because it’s your funeral

Where there’s a will…

NARRIKUP’S Mun-grup Stud con-t inues i ts long associat ion as

sponsors of the Great Southern’s richest horse race this year as part of the Grapes and Gallops festival at Mt Barker Turf Club on January 22.

The family-owned busi-ness is the state’s larg-est thoroughbred nursery and has supported the event for more than 25 years; from its humble beginnings to the event becoming one of the big-gest days on the region’s racing calendar.

Mungrup Stud’s Tom and Ann Croucher and Claire Dawson are hands-on in the family business that was established by Ann and Claire’s parents, Gray and Jan Williamson and said they always looked forward to the Grapes and Gallops festival.

“We’ve seen this event grow from a feature sprint to a really exciting festival with huge crowds that top the racing calendar,” Mrs Croucher said.

“We always looked for-ward to the sprint when we were younger and now we take our kids along and they love it, so it’s great to still be associated with it.

“It’s great for the region and it’s also great to see that level of prize money for a local race.”

Studmaster Claire Daw-son said the event was a perfect fi t for the family’s long history of breeding some of WA’s best sprint-ers.

“WA buyers love their early sprinters and we’ve bred some of the best over the years so it’s fi tting that we’re involved with this race,” Ms Dawson said.

“We have a new stallion in I’m All The Talk whose fi rst foals are due in Au-gust and I’m sure we’ll see his progeny run in the sprint one day.”

The Grapes and Gallops festival is also celebrating

its 10th year and festival chairperson Kim Tyrer said it was amazing to see how the event had grown since its inception.

“When you live it and breathe it every day you don’t notice all the little changes.

“Looking back at old pho-tos recently you could just see how everything has grown,” Ms Tyrer said.

The event has been successful in attracting visitors to the region with 40 per cent of punters travelling from outside the region to attend.

Ms Tyrer said combining one of the region’s biggest races and showcasing the its wineries was the key to the event’s success and she was proud of the festival’s ongoing support of local businesses.

“It ’s such a unique

festival. When you go to other major racing events around the state, they’re usually just focused on a race,” she said.

“We provide so much more entertainment and the wine and the food is the key as well.

“And it’s great to see all the girls in their fabulous dresses and the guys in their suits and such a re-laxed atmosphere.”

This year’s event will showcase wines from Ar-cadia, Galafrey, Gilberts, West Cape Howe, Plan-

tagenet Wines, and Hawk-ers Ridge and a range of regional produce including local cheeses, gourmet pizzas, strawberries and French pastries.

Ms Tyrer said the event was family-friendly and there would be plenty for children to do with a packed event schedule between races.

The program will boast eight races, including the $100,000 Mungrup Sprint over 1,300m, with nomina-tions yet to close.

CIRCUS artist, street performer, co-median, actor, dancer, choreographer, director...there appears little that Aaron Jessup has not accomplished to rave reviews around the world.

Renaissance man Jessup will be in Albany on January 14 as part of Southern Edge Arts’ Summer School program to give a short performance of Perilous Comedy, a circus-comedy street and stage act and share his skills in creating performances, jug-gling and contact improvisation

He will also perform in a street show at a venue yet to be announced.

His act combines daredevil rope walking, charming audience interac-tion, expert fire/knife juggling and sharp-witted comedy.

His workshops will be open to people of all ages and experiences.

Jessup is a second-generation San Francisco street performer and spent the past two years travelling and per-forming at arts festivals throughout the world, having been seen juggling fi re, knives and walking his slack rope on the streets of Perth, Melbourne, Edinburgh and Colorado.

His fi rst stage appearances were with his father, Charles Levine, who per-formed in New York during the 1970s.

Levine was a pioneer of the modern street performance era and Jessup was often picked out of the audience as a “volunteer” who would go on to steal the show.

At 16 years, Jessup began perform-ing his solo show at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, studied Chinese acrobatics with world renowned trainer Master Lu Yi and appeared as an acro-bat and juggler with the Pickle Family Circus and Make*A*Circus.

Along the way, Jessup also studied capoeira - a Brazilian martial art, mod-ern dance and contact improvisation, eventually performing with Scott Wells and Dancers, an Isadora Duncan award-winning dance company.

Jessup is a two-time recipient of the coveted Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholarship, completed his MFA in dramatic arts/acting at UC Davis and currently travels internationally with his two award-winning solo shows.

Catch him at 6pm on Saturday, January 14 at Southern Edge Arts, 77 Sanford Road.

Aaron Jessup, who has entertained audiences around the world, will be in Albany this week to take part in SEA’s Summer School program.

PEOPLE are invited to take a free guided tour of the Albany Entertain-ment Centre next week.

Venue tours will take place on Wednesday, January18 and 25, be-tween 10.30am and 2.30pm

The tours will be held approximately every 30 minutes.

Visitors to the venue will be able to witness fi rst hand the day-to-day running of the Albany landmark and have the opportunity to view the magnif icent Ngal lak Koort Boodja canvas, on display in the Princess Royal Theatre.

The Ngal lak Koort Boodja, which translates as Our Heartland, was the culmination of a se-ries of historic meetings between Noongar Elders in 2003, during which the idea of an ‘arts docu-

ment’ for the Noongar people was raised.

Elders of the Noon-gar Nations of Australia selected six artists to develop a creative sym-bol of the Noongar con-nection to Country, the result being the canvas.

Ngallak Koort Boodja depicts sacred animals, plants, water, ancestral spirits and landscapes formed within 14 circles representing the inter-related dialectal groups of the Noongar people.

Everyone who takes part in a venue tour will receive a valid for one week voucher which can be used to obtain a free beverage with any purchased meal at VIEW Restaurant.

VIEW is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 3pm, serving lunch as well as tea, coffee and cake.

EVER since its inception in 1967 the Western Australian Opera has estab-lished itself as a strong, vibrant company and a fl agship organisation in the national arts landscape.

During the ensuing 50 years, the City of Perth’s Opera in the Park production has become one of the most popular events on the summer calendar, drawing thou-sands upon thousands of people to the Supreme Court Gardens to revel in some of the world’s greatest operas.

To celebrate WA Opera’s special an-niversary, Opera in the Park 2017, on February 4, will be a 50th Gala Concert

showcasing the wonder of the human voice.

As has occurred each year since 2010, the Opera in the Park production will be simulcast to regional communities throughout the state, enabling enthusias-tic opera lovers or fi rst-timers to experi-ence the beauty of live world-class opera from their own communities.

The uplifting program will feature highlights from The Toreador’s Song from Bizet’s Carmen, the instantly rec-ognisable Anvil Chorus from the Mozart masterpiece Il Trovatore and the towering Nessun Dorma from Turandot by Puccini.

It will be presented by national artists along with the WA Opera Chorus and WA Symphony Orchestra conducted by Brad Cohen.

The entire audience will be invited to dress in black tie or evening dress to celebrate WA Opera’s 50th Anniversary at this gala concert of operatic hits in one of the most beautiful settings Perth has to offer.

The simulcast is on Saturday, February 4, at 8pm, at the AEC. Free tickets are now available – with a limit of four per person.

McKenzie is running the Retro Sound Workshop at Vancouver Arts Centre. It will be held on Tues-day January 17, for the cost of $20 per participant.Vancouver representative Marianthe Loucataris

ting together different components,” she said. “It comes in a simple structure.”Mr McKenzie will also run a free installation

called The Sound Den.“It’s an interactive installation which involves be-

ing able to move through lights to trigger sound, as well as playing sounds on the synthesisers,” Ms Loucataris said. The Sound Den has already started and will run until Tuesday January 24. – Geoff Vivian

THE keenly antici-pated Tales from the Antiques Roadshow, which centres round the popular BBC tel-evision program, will not be coming to Al-bany after all. The Weekender

was advised after the paper went to print last week that the January 28 perfor-mance at the AEC has been cancelled.

Antiques show cancelled

THE Searchers hold a lasting place in the his-tory of popular music throughout the world and are bringing their Solid Gold Hits national tour to Albany.

As one of Britain’s best-loved groups The Search-ers’ distinctive jangling sound of the 12-string guitar and rich harmonies embellished with their immaculate vocals.

They will be at the Alba-ny Entertainment Centre on Sunday, February 5.

From their early begin-nings in the late 1950s as a skiffl e group formed by John McNally and a bunch of friends, through the heady days of the 1960s as teenage idols.

The Searchers have comfortably settled into a position well-deserved by a band with a sound that has infl uenced artists for generations.

Their many hits include Sweets For My Sweet, Sugar And Spice, Needles and Pins - their version of Jackie De Shannon’s When You Walk In The Room and covers of Love Potion Number 9, Don’t Throw Your Love Away, and Someday We’re Gon-na Love Again.

The Searchers were the second group from Liver-pool after The Beatles, to have a hit in the USA with

Needles And Pins and their total record sales are in excess of 45 million.

T h e g r o u p , w h i c h emerged as part of Liv-erpool’s early 1960s Mer-sey Beat scene along with The Beatles, the Swing-ing Blues Jeans and Gerry and the Pacemakers, has been reduced over the years with sudden deaths of its original members.

But remaining band members, McNally and Frank Allen, have been joined by Spencer James and Scott Ottaway and are thankfully in the rud-est of health and eager to continue their life of constant touring.

McNally and Allen, bass player since the middle of 1964, have faithfully pre-served and enhanced their treasured reputation and image to the present day.

Have gu i t a r s ( and drums), will travel is their motto.

Their marvellous all-evening’ solo shows are considered must-see events in the entertain-ment calendars of 60s afi cionados.

At a time when you might think life should be taking perhaps a more lei-surely pace, The Search-ers are busier than ever and enjoying a gruel-ling work rate that others would fi nd daunting.

The last two decades have seen some of the most rewarding times for this much-admired group.

These include two sell-out shows at London’s Wembley Stadium with Cliff Richard as guests on the fi rst knight of pop’s 30th anniversary celebra-tion and on millennium

New Year’s Eve, again with Cliff, at the National Indoor Arena, Birming-ham.

THERE’S no doubt John Galvin’s Ford XY GT Falcon has got history.

Sadly it’s the kind of history that puts a lump in your throat and goes beyond the cut and polish.But it’s also the kind of his-

tory that keeps this classic car on the road where it be-longs and makes you count your blessings.The XY was a pet project for

John and his son more than 10 years ago when he was living in the Wheatbelt.

The simple aim was to get the car running and regis-tered and worry about the fi nishing touches later.When others might reach

deep into their pockets to get a project complete, John seemed to pull it out of thin air and do it on a shoestring. John stripped it back to bare

metal and enlisted the help of a retired panel beater to straighten her out.He said there wasn’t a lot of

rust to cut out, but there were a few dents and the paint job had to be acrylic – none of this two-pack business.He either used what he had

from the XY or ratted parts from other cars he had lying around. He pulled a more favourable

nine inch diff off another XY, pilfered the dash and wiring loom from an XW and on and

on it went until he got this girl on the road.He didn’t even bother with a

clear coat after the paint and stripes had gone on. It got a good rub down with some 1200-grit and a coat of polish and that was it.John said he dropped a 351

Cleveland engine straight in and recalls sitting back on a couple of milk crates with his son Brad just watching the car idle after they fi rst lit her up.“We never even cleaned

the engine. We just slipped it straight in,” he said.“We just sat there and

watched it together for ages.”“Really we registered the

car too soon. We slipped the engine in on a Friday, we got it going on the Sunday and registered on Monday.”“We just wanted to get it on

the road and never bothered to finish off all those little things that need doing.”John is a fi rm believer in

driving cars when you’ve got them there to drive - rain or shine.And that philosophy has

also helped heal some wounds following the tragic loss of his son Brad in a motorbike accident six and a half years ago.The strong memories he

forged with the car are indel-ibly linked with his son and it is spiriting to see it out on the road as often as John fi nds it possible, rather than tucked away in a forgotten corner. “The car is about Brad and

it’s something we did togeth-er. He used to drive it all the time. I just love it,” he said.Despite the tragedy, it’s no

surprise that John looks right at home behind the wheel

and the car fi ts him like a pair of old jeans.And like anyone who has

a car with a bit of history, he knows every little nook and cranny.He points out a few things

that need a bit of attention, least of all his worn-out dou-ble-pluggers that are solely to blame for his foot slipping off the clutch time and again and causing those rear tyres to wear out so quickly. But it’s all about enjoying

the ride and there are no complaints from John. For all its history, this car is a keeper - along with the memories.

Santos Ltd (STO) Recommendation:

take up SPPSANTOS is the second-largest Australian pure oil and gas exploration and production company with interests in Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Papua New Guinea.

We are expecting a brighter period ahead for Santos with production forecast to increase by 22 per cent to more than 70 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe).

This is thanks to new east-coast coal seam gas to liquid natural gas (LNG) and increased product ion f rom i ts Papua New Guinea LNG projects.

We recommend that existing shareholders apply for up to $15,000 of additional shares via the recently announced Share Purchase Plan (SPP).

The SPP issue price will be the lesser of AU$4.06 per share or a two per cent discount to the fi ve-day

volume weighted average price immediately prior to the closing date.

At AU$4.06 the offer i s a t a 23 per cent discount to Morningstar’s fair value estimate of AU$5.30 per share and there are no brokerage or transaction costs to apply for additional shares.

The SPP may be subject to scale back.

The SPP forms part of Santos’ AU$1.5 billion capital raising with AU$1 billion already locked in via an institutional placement at AU$4.06.

Proceeds will be used to reduce debt, further removing uncertainty around Santos’ ability

to operate profi tably in a sustained lower oil price environment.

Core goals remain to target debt reduction through maximising operating cash fl ow, sales of non-core assets and releasing capital from infrastructure.

Post-raising net debt declines by one quarter to AU$4.3 billion, net debt/equity from 66 per cent to 44 per cent, and net debt/EBITDA more than halves from 4.2 to sub 2.0.

The capital raising should remove virtually any doubt about Santos’ viability without diluting shareholders to any meaningful extent.

With capital expenditure now being run largely in maintenance-only mode, Morningstar are forecasting free cash fl ow in excess of AU$1 billion, sufficient to drive net debt/EBITDA below 1.0 from 2019.

T h i s i n c l u d e s a reinstatement of a 40 per cent payout ratio from 2018.

The company’s fair value estimate of $5.30 per share equates to a 2017 EV/EBITDA of 5.9, a free cash fl ow yield of 8.9 per cent and a P/E of 16.9.

Legalease

In Shawl v Anglican Community Services (ACS) [2016] FWC 5990, the Fair Work Commission (FWC) found that Ms Shawl, a carer at an aged-care facility operated by ACS, who was terminated for slapping a resident on the mouth, was unfairly terminated.

The slap was witnessed by a col-league who was in the room at the time of the incident. The colleague reported that Ms Shawl, who was attending the resident, who was screaming, slapped him with her right hand when he would not be quiet. The colleague said that the slap was loud and could be heard over the resident’s screaming.

Ms Shawl denied that she slapped the resident and instead claimed that she had brought her right hand towards the resident so that it was in front of his mouth and without touch-ing him said “Shh! Please be quiet”.

After considering the evidence the FWC found that, on the balance of probabilities, Ms Shawl did not slap the resident and therefore there was no valid reason for dismissal.

The FWC took into account:

1. The lack of any physical evi-dence on the resident of abuse.

2. The lack of corroborative evidence from any other party. The resident suffered from dementia and could not give evidence.

3. The lack of any history of com-plaints, over approximately 15 years of employment, that Ms Shawl had engaged in any conduct of violent, abusive or intemperate nature.

4. The evidence that the colleague at the time of the incident was stand-ing behind the resident and there-fore would not have been able to clearly see the physical contact.

Ms Shawl, who was not seeking re-instatement, was awarded $16,000 in compensation.

The Full Bench of the FWC has re-fused permission for ACS to appeal the judgment.

The decision causes confl ict for aged-care providers who are faced with extremely onerous obligations regarding the welfare of their resi-dents and under the Aged Care Act 1997 (Cth). Additionally, incidents of elder abuse can cause extreme damage to an aged-care provider’s brand, as has been evident in recent times.

We recommend that a thorough investigation be undertaken when-ever incidents, which may lead to termination, arise. The decision to terminate employment must only be made after very careful considera-tion of all of the evidence gathered from such an investigation. Relevant factors to consider include whether the alleged assault was actually seen and whether there is any ani-mosity between witnesses, such as to raise ulterior motives for reporting.

Are you ready?Scheme water cannot be guaranteed during a bushfireWater Corporation is prepared for bushfire season. However, we cannot guarantee that water pressure or water supply will be maintained in the event of a bushfire. Extreme demand, fire damage and power cuts can all result in a total loss of water.

sport results

ALBANY Cricket As-sociat ion’s A Grade double-header weekend continued on Sunday with Round 11, as North County went up against Collingwood Park and Denmark hosted Rail-ways at McLean Park.

Manypeaks had the bye, which was a shame, as momentum was high from the previous day’s demolition of Railways.

County elected to bat but by the 24th over their innings was over with just 87.

Craig Tonkin displayed his dependable veteran prowess with the highest score of 25.

County left the crease with two ducks and two out for one apiece and got ready to fi eld and retain some dignity.

C o l l i n g wo o d Pa r k backed up their previous days strong performance with a superb bowling performance, with Bryce Jackson fl ying high to fi n-ish with an awesome 5/21 off seven overs.

Ben Carter followed suit, securing a sizzling 3/18 also off seven overs and Ben Grey rounded it out with a jaw-dropping 2/1 off 1.5 overs.

Denmark’s Matthew El-lul had another good day with the ball finishing with 2/41.

Railways fi nished their innings at a challenging 5/246.

Peter Ross impressed again with the bat, top scoring for Denmark (35), Matt Burton (22), Ryan Gaerth (24) and Atkinson (16).

But at the end of 28 overs the innings was over and Denmark fin-ished with 126.

Coen Marwick was ex-ceptional with the ball, capturing 3/42 off 7.1 overs; Walters 2/19, 1 maiden off fi ve overs im-pressed as did Ryan Tin-dale 2/21, 1 maiden off 6 overs. Simon Harvey was blistering with 2/7 and Carl Evers secured 1/35.

Players will have to be content with the nets for a few weeks and don’t return to the pitch until Saturday, January 28, for Round 12. Manypeaks will be at home to Den-mark and Railways will host North County at Tigerland. Collingwood have the bye.

Collingwood Park began their innings with buoyed confi dence.

Opener Mathew Heberle made 13 but the top order collapse of Ben Grey and Josh Duane, both out for a duck, was bittersweet.

Nathan Dovey steadied the onslaught with 17, along with captain Tim Pyle (22), Hayden Burl-ing (18) and Ben Carter (10 not out).

Park held on and by 37.1 overs had secured victory - all out for 110.

County’s performance with the ball was a high-light. Harry Broomhall, ever consistent, shone on the day with a mouth-watering 5/18 off 10 overs. Fabian Bolton im-pressed with 3/18 and Gary McGlade was solid fi nishing with 2/35.

The previous day’s per-formance when they were well beaten was long for-gotten and Railways gave an awesome display with the bat after they won the toss against Denmark at McLean Park to close out Round 11.

Matthew Walters made 99, so close to the ton, and was ably assisted at the crease by Hayden Davies

COLUMN COURTESY OFI HAVE always been a big supporter of rock fi shing safety and the wearing of PFDs (personal fl oatation devices/life jacket) as rock fi shing claims way too many lives, many of which could have been saved if a PFD was worn.

But over the last few years I have started to form a strong opinion that PFDs should be worn all the time in boats and if you are fi shing alone.

I believe it should be enforced by law.

An incident in Exmouth last week was the perfect example of how things can go wrong in an instant and become life threaten-ing.

A very keen and expe-rienced Exmouth angler was fi shing out wide from the cape trolling for mar-

managed to tread water until he was lucky enough to be picked up by a pass-ing boat.

A remarkable survival story and one that could have ended with yet an-other boating death in WA.

In this case wearing a PFD would have made keeping afl oat a lot easier and saved a lot of energy.

But if you or I had found ourselves in the same situation could we have kept afl oat for six hours?

I know 100 per cent for sure that I wouldn’t.

With each loss of life

THE need for regular vessel and equipment mainte-nance and carriage of in-date fl ares will be reinforced when the Department of Transport (DoT) Marine safety education team visits the South Coast next week.

Manager safety education Laurie Adams said the DoT trailer would visit boating hot spots at Walpole, Denmark, Albany and Bremer Bay to promote safety on the water.

Mr Adams said the clear message to boat owners was to make safety the priority when planning a voyage by following the steps in DoT’s free boat maintenance BEST Check guide.

“The guide shows skippers the ‘BEST’ safety checklist which identifi es items under the headings boat, equipment, safety equipment and trailer to be maintained before each trip and includes an annual 45 point check,” Mr Adams said.

Marine safety educators to give skippers tips on safe boating, copies of free boating guides and other free publications and stickers.

The trailer will be in Walpole/Denmark on Friday, January13; Albany, Saturday, January 14; and Bremer Bay, Sunday, January 15.

lin. He had just released a fair-sized blue mar-lin when he dropped his camera over the side and in his attempts to grab it he overbalanced and fell overboard.

This was bad enough but the engine was in gear and the boat started mov-ing away from him. So he was in the ocean wearing only a pair of shorts and a pair of gloves and in deep trouble.

The next six hours proved to be a true test of human endurance as he

due to a boating accident I try and fi nd out as much about what went wrong for a few reasons.

I am making sure, as much as humanly pos-sible, that I don’t put myself in the same situa-tion, that if things happen out of my control I have the equipment on hand to make survival possible.

The one big thing is that most of this type of incident happens very quickly.

Most of the victims did not have time to don their life jackets or grab other survival gear such as

EPIRBs or fl ares before they found themselves in the water, thus cut-ting down their chance of survival.

I pose these simple ques-tions to all boat owners: Have you ever put your life jacket on? Have your crew ever put one of your life jackets on?

Do you do a safety talk to all new crew and ex-plain all the safety gear on your boat? Are your life jackets in a place where everybody on board can grab one in a few sec-onds?

Answer all these ques-

tions to yourself and I will let you make your own mind up on what you do about it.

Again, I implore any-body who fi shes in a boat by themselves to always wear a PFD and look at getting a personal EPIRB as well.

As for the rest of you skippers out there, please make sure that everybody who gets on your craft know about the place-

ment and how to use the boat’s safety equipment.

Look at getting PFDs for yourself and your crew to wear all the time.

Safety equipment is available in Albany at Albany Rods and Tackle, BCF Albany, GB Marine, Rusty’s Marine, Trail-blazers and Watercraft Marine.

ALBANY Cricket Asso-ciation A Grade players returned to the crease last weekend for a double-header which provided varied results for all teams.

On Saturday, Rail-ways played Manypeaks and Denmark took on Collingwood Park in Round 10, while on Sun-day, North County played Collingwood Park and Denmark met Railways for Round 11.

Railways hosted Peaks, batting after winning the toss. But the good news ended there as they only made a dismal 71.

Openers Coen Marwick (0) and Hayden Davies (1) went cheaply with another two ducks and six batsmen scoring less than 10 apiece, refl ecting a mediocre innings.

Matt Wolfe carried the team showing fortitude to reach the highest score of 31.

Many Peaks bowlers and fieldsmen were on fi re and had come to win. Wade Anning was awe-some fi nishing with 3/5 (two maidens off four) overs, Brendan Grogan impressed with 2/19 then rounded out his perfor-mance with two run outs.

A wicket each went to Warwick Durack, Matt Hope and Myles O’Meehan.

Peaks grabbed their wil-low and headed to the crease with victory in sight and confi dence to boot.

Opener Ryan Kinnear was solid with 39 but it was Shayne Wornes with a stunning 76 and cap-tain Craig Sinclair, fi ring on all cylinders mak-

ing 56, who relished in the conditions. Warwick Durack (32) and Myles O’Meehan (not out 22) were also in form.

At the end of 50 overs Manypeaks celebrated victory with a classy sev-en for 278.

Railways struggled all day, with Coen Mar-wick (2/51) and Hayden Davies (2/33) the pick of the bowlers.

Collingwood Park host-ed Denmark in the other match of the day, making a solid 169 in 49.2 overs after electing to bat.

Captain Tim Pyle im-pressed with 65 and open-er Jesse Spaanderman was consistent with 33.

Denmark’s bowling was a highlight. Ryan Guil-foyle secured 3/20 (two maidens off 9.2 overs), Jason Benson was on song with 3/34, and they were backed by Matthew Ellul (2/35) and Fynn Un-derwood (1/31) to round out an awesome stint with the ball.

Fielding highlights in-cluded in-form keeper Peter Ross with three catches and one each to Benson, Guilfoyle and Jeff Atkinson. Adam Falls was on target securing the solo run out.

Denmark relished the run chase and secured victory after 49 overs, declaring at 8/174.

Opener Atkinson contin-ued his recent form mak-ing 34, Ross was superb (36 not out), Ryan Gaerth (in his fi rst match of the season) made an impres-sion with 24, Adam Falls 23 and Captain Dan Rob-son 17.

THE Albany Speedway Club hosted the summer series for super sedans at the weekend and what a show they put on.

A huge crowd witnessed Dustin Higgs blitz the fi eld for the win, closely followed by Phil Barton and Gary Higgs for third.

Modified Sedans had their South Coast Clas-sic sponsored by Stirling Print and the $5,000 on-the-nose to win had driv-ers competing from all over the state.

Matt Noakes took the win, closely followed by Aydan Trewern (second) with the Purple People Eater for third – well done Blake Watson.

It was great to see the Ball family return.

The racing was amazing with Nathan Penn lead-ing for most of the race feature until the engine gremlins put him on the infi eld.

Steve Beres and David Gordon had the most air going into turn two in their Modifi ed Sedans.

Anthony King, Blake Jackson and Neville Man-stead also had a great run.

In the Junior Sedans, Brooke Watson took the win, closely followed by Daniel Erceg and Mitchell Claybrooke for third.

Formula 125s saw Jacin-ta Tester have a great heat win, but Sam Jewell came home for the overall win closely followed by Jacin-

ta and Bill Beeck for third.The Production Sedans

were also running, with Mike Kinnear taking the win closely followed by Merv Penn and Shane Devonshire for third.

Albany’s next meeting will be one of our biggest.

The USA Late Model Tour is a meet speedway fans will not want to miss, as these guys are the fast-

est in the division.The racing is going to be

awesome with the best the USA has up against our boys and the cars having more than 800hp under the bonnet.

Our camber is very simi-lar to those in the USA and the faster cars abso-lutely love it here. See you trackside on January 21.

EXERCISE has many benefi ts and can make a big difference when the festive season is over, and you’re feeling tired or low.

There’s so much to love about the holidays. Most of us have some time off work and catch up with loved ones. But with all the delicious food and drink on offer, many of our good intentions go out the window.

Exercise is also often overlooked at this time of year. And we all deserve a break now and then.

But getting back into your routine of healthy eating and exercise can be a challenge, so it is now that we need to remind ourselves of the benefi ts we reap when all those post-exercise endorphins are released.

1. Enhanced self-esteem - Your body releases chemicals called

endorphins when you exercise. Endorphins cause the feeling that follows a run or work-out that can be described as “euphoric”. This feeling is usually accompanied by a positive and energising outlook on life. You feel good instantly and have a more positive self-image.

2. Decreased stress and anxi-ety - Feelings of happiness are created when endorphins are released. Help your body and your sense of wellbeing, if you are feeling stressed about returning to work, with a brisk walk, a group fi tness class or yoga session.

3. Improved sleep - Great sleep is necessary for optimal health. The chances are that you’ve had a few late nights during the holiday season and this will be contributing to the post-holiday blues. Being active helps our bodies to operate on a cycle of work, rest, recover and can lead to improved sleep.

IT was not the best weather for outside water sport on Saturday morning. A strong wind insisted on creating choppy conditions, making it tough for competitors starting in the Adventurethon Albany Ultra event from the Anzac Peace Park. But the rough water obviously suited local Kris Plain who completed the endurance course in just under four hours to easily win from professional athletes from the eastern states.
