From the Editor
Well we have lots going on in our community lately. The front page represents the wide variety of things you can do in Carnamah and Eneabba. Time to get out and about and explore the area. A bit more community input this week which is great to see. Remember this is a community paper and I am relying on articles from the community to be included. If you have something you would like to add let me know. We have had stories, poems, photographs, art works and articles all in the past. What a great opportunity for the community. Lots of wildflowers appearing so don’t forget to take photographs. Did you know you can hashtag #wildflowercountry and get your pictures included on the site?
Do you have something to contribute? It is your community paper. Contact us: [email protected]

THE MOZZIES ROCK THREE
SPRINGS
It was a cold evening which made the night
interesting. Arriving 2 hours early didn’t seem
like the best idea but with a sound check and
equipment check we were able to relax for a
while and enjoy some beverages and maybe
a pizza.
Biggest problem was that the band were
keen to get started and waiting around wasn’t
something we were excited about. Dave
Whait the guitarist got started early,
entertaining the crowd with a few guitar
solo’s. I waited in the corner trying to pump
myself up and trying to avoid talking to
anyone. Not that I was being anti-social just
trying to manage my vocals, two things that
mess that up
1. Being around smokers
2. Trying to yell in conversations above
the loud background music
There is also a trick with drinking fizzy lemon
drinks instead of beer which totally ruins my
rock star image but the after party is a
different thing.
Ben “Curry” Taylor soon got behind his drum
kit and Terry Allen, the other local from
Carnamah, plugged in his bass amp. It was
time to begin.
We kicked off with a cover of Green Day’s
When I Come Around and the crowd was
already on their feet. There were lots of kids
dancing which gave it a great family
atmosphere. As the night progressed more
people turned up and the singing and the
dancing became more frequent. Looking
around I spotted a few locals from Carnamah
who had come over for the night.
It has been a long journey for Mosquito Fuzz
and along the way we had support from a
few who would only be able to attend in spirit.
A cover of Save Today by Seether was
dedicated to their memories.
We finished our set early but then came back
for a few encore songs and revisited a few of
the songs we had played earlier. Then it was
onto the after party. But that is a different
story.
Adam Fawkes (Lead Singer Mosquito Fuzz)
BADMINTON NOTES
On another cold wet night we still had a good roll up of players. Jumpers soon came off as people warmed up.
On court competition with Goffy and Chad got the laughter and the noise levels increasing.
Skills are improving rapidly each week with some sneaky serving and tricky shots.
Thanks to Sue Spencer and Iola for helping make up sets.
DON’T MISS THE FUN, COME ALONG ON FRIDAY NIGHT 6PM—8PM AT THE SPORT COMPLEX.

ENEABBA CROSS COUNTRY
On Friday the 30th of July many schools
from the area gathered at the Eneabba Golf
Course for the Interschool Cross Country.
The weather wasn’t looking too good but by
all reports they managed to avoid too much
rain and the students who attended had a
great event.
WILDFLOWERS AND CANOLA FIELDS
The early rains has meant that the wildflowers
are starting early. The fields of Canola have
also changed the landscape as yellow flower
stretch as far as the eye can see.
Sections of everlastings have began to appear
around Carnamah especially on the Carnamah/
Three Springs Road and the road to Perenjori.
With the wintery weather still around it makes
the perfect opportunity to drive around the dis-
trict and take in some of the amazing scenery
on display.
Dry lake beds are full and as many locals are
saying they haven’t seen them this full for
many years.
Lake Indoon in Eneabba is full and the Shire if
preparing for an influx of visitors to the area.
Make sure you like the Eneabba Tourist
Information and Carnamah Tourist Information

Regional Telecommunications Review 2021
A Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee (the Committee) is established every three years under Part 9B of the Telecommunications (Consumer Protection and Service Standards) Act 1999 to conduct a review into telecommunications services in regional, rural and remote parts of Australia.
The Committee for the 2021 Regional Telecommunications Review (the Review) was appointed on 1 June 2021. The 2021 Committee is comprised of the Hon Luke Hartsuyker (Chair), Ms Kristy Sparrow, Professor Hugh Bradlow, Mr Michael Cosgrave and Ms Sue Middleton.
As part of the Review, the Committee will consider:
• the impact of Government policies and programs to improve regional connectivity and digital inclusion;
• insights from COVID-19 on the changing digital needs of regional, rural and remote areas;
• service reliability issues which impact regional communities and options for mitigating them;
• the role of emerging technologies in delivering telecommunications services in regional Australia;
• ways of encouraging further investment in regional telecommunications;
• the role of telecommunications in supporting broader regional development goals;
• ways to improve co-ordination between government and industry in telecommunications investment; and
• consumer awareness and education regarding telecommunications options in regional areas.
The Committee invites regional communities, businesses and governments to engage directly with the Review over the coming months through face-to-face consultations, written submissions and online forums. The Committee will report to the Minister for Regionalisation, Regional Communications and Regional Education by 31 December 2021. The Committee may make recommendations to Government. Where it does so, it should consider the costs and benefits.
The issues paper, including Terms of Reference, can be found at https://www.communications.gov.au/sites/default/files/consultation/pdf/regional-telecommunications-review-2021-issues-paper.pdf.
Feedback can be provided to the Vin at the Shire by 13 September or directly to the Committee by 30 September via:

MULCHING AND SHREDDING
A good garden mulcher can reduce waste in the garden and make it easier to break down organic matter. Many cheaper versions of mulchers tend to not be as effective as required. There are also shredders on the market that can make paper and cardboard are more manageable material.
I have met a few people who operate without mulchers or shredders and use a variety of other objects. A pair of gardening scissors can be used to chop up leaves. This is very time consuming but to those I have known who do this can also be very relaxing. Getting materials to a smaller size makes working with it so much easier.
Shredding plastics may offer opportunities to deal with plastic waste. It can be more efficient to store plastic waste in small pieces and also can prevent animals from becoming trapped in plastic wrapping. Unfortunately the down side of this is that animals are able to swallow pieces of plastic more easily.
Looking at large scale recycling operations, you can see that the first goal is to reduce the size of the waste into smaller pieces. Why not try some mulching at home or even some experimenting? You might find something that works for you. Make sure you let us know.
IS RECYCLING COST EFFECTIVE?
The benefits of recycling from an environmental perspective is well known but is it cost effective?
I read an article recently which criticised the recycling industry stating that the few articles that are recycled don’t even compare to waste which is produced. This compared the actions of some large nations and noted that the bottles and green waste families recycle are offset by the damage produced from large nations and organisations.
So is it worth it?
Well I guess it comes down to perspective. I watched a video once where an army officer talked about how to make a change in the world. His suggestion was to make your bed every morning. The point being that this small change is something that is achievable and is something that you will get a sense of achievement out of.
Factories dump loads of pollution into the atmosphere daily. So how does me putting food scraps into the compost bin help? It may not seem to make a big difference in the whole world however it will make a difference in your environment. There are things that are out of our control and there are things we can control. How we deal with our waste as an individual is a choice we are free to make.

The Olympics are on in Tokyo and we watch it on the telly
I admire how fit those athletes are while looking at my belly
All that exercise and the skimpy uniforms at my age would be a crime
Watching it on TV reminds me that I am well well past my prime
The missus said that housework should really be a sport
They should put that in the next games if they are running a little bit short
It got me thinking that maybe there are other things they should include
Maybe even how long your missus can hang onto a mood
If Fortnight was an Olympic sport then my son must be in training
The opportunity to represent Australia might be something that he’s attaining
And maybe another option might be the new found sport of twerking
My daughter watching modern rap videos might then be viewed as working
Maybe the local pubs could host the sports of sculling and mixed darts
Maybe there could be a medal for record-breaking farts
Or maybe there could be a time trial for lying to the missus
You see how long that you can last before she makes you do the dishes
Patience could be included because it is something I regularly do
Especially useful while waiting for the missus to finish in the loo
And maybe channel surfing might just get a little bit of a nod
Or how long it might take to catch something using an old broken fishing rod
Or how about something Aussie like sculling down an Export Block
Or how many Bunnings Sausages you can eat before they shut down at 1 o'clock
Or the quick barefooted run from the carpark , across the sand into the beach
On a 40 degree summers day when there’s cursing in your speech
Now with some of these ideas you might think that I’ve finally gone insane
But thinking of all these task well there was something I could attain
The Olympics really should be inclusive to those who in the world belong
So it isn’t my age or weight problems, just the sports that are in the wrong

To deliver an order on time, a company has to make 25 parts a day. After making 25 parts per day for 3 days, the company started to produce 5 more parts per day, and by the last day of work 100 more parts than planned were produced. Find how many parts the company made and how many days this took. If a farmer wants to plough a farm field on time, he must plough 120 hectares a day. For technical reasons he ploughed only 85 hectares a day, hence he had to plough 2 more days than he planned and he still has 40 hectares left. What is the area of the farm field and how many days the farmer planned to work initially? Elizabeth can get a certain job done in 15 days, and Tony can finish only 75% of that job within the same time. Tony worked alone for several days and then Elizabeth joined him, so they finished the rest of the job in 6 days, working together. For how many days have each of them worked and what percentage of the job have each of them completed?
