THE DEPUTY Scribbler steps in again, the Scribbler (fearless one) is still down for the count and for some time to come. Hang in there mate and get well soon. The whole membership is pulling for you as are a lot of people in the community – I still think there is something in the air or even in the water. The Guru of Grind has been tending his lady who we hope is soon up and about again.

Weed of the MonthJacqueline Lucas

CAPE TULIP (Moraea Flaccida) is a declared pest plant in WA. The toxic species was introduced from South Africa in the late 1800s as a garden plant. It makes a colourful showing in paddocks and is quite eye-catching with its orange flowers. The perennial herb grows to 75cm high and flowers from September to November. It grows on white sand, grey sandy loam over limestone, laterite clay and gravel but also likes seasonally wet sites and can be found along creeklines as well as on hilltops and in pasture and disturbed land. It produces orange and yellow flowers among strappy leaves. The flowers form seed pods up to 5cm long which split triangularly to reveal 2mm long brown seeds. Cape tulip also has a 1-4cm wide corm from which the plant develops each year and can reproduce from its new corms. It can be dispersed by seed, movement of soil/gravel which contains the corms or

AS THIS is our 163rd Toodyay Agricultural Show the committee acknowledges the support and loyalty of local families and businesses who have been donating both prize money and sponsorship to the society over the years to keep it local and a true community event. It was only recently that one of our most dedicated families who has been donating what was called the Martin Family Memorial Prize in the Wool Section in honour of H.H Martin has decided they can no longer fulfil this duty since Mrs Martin passed away. Our condolences go out to the Martin family as well as our thanks and appreciation for their loyalty to the Toodyay Agricultural Society and our Show. As the show schedule for this year is nearing completion, the committee and its members would like to thank all our sponsors, advertisers and the people in the community and surrounds who make the trophy and prize donations. This year’s major sponsors include Dunnings, RoadWise, Richards 360 Christmas, Shire of Toodyay and Toodyay

environment

Our second-in-charge has been inspected top and bottom and probably sideways as well and we are glad everything is OK. Despite the cold we had a good rollup to the last breakfast with good food, good companionship and good conversation. Not a lot of activity of late although we expect that soon there will be enough bits and pieces to be able to mount another assault at the local Farmers Market, showing the community what we can do and encouraging men to take part. We are still waiting word as to the success

or otherwise of our pitch for funding for our new building. I wonder is this what they call ‘bated breath’? Our ‘fully fledged trades assistant’ is bringing into the Shed a load of generously donated hand tools and this will certainly test his sorting-out skills – good on you. We are thinking that the AGM will be due soon, so how about putting your mind to the elections for the next committee of management.The Toodyay Men’s Shed, in collaboration

with the Australian Hearing Bus, will be holding hearing tests in the IGA car park on Wednesday August 3 from 10am to 4pm. The tests are free for those holding age, pension or State/Commonwealth health cards. A nominal fee will otherwise be charged to those without benefit cards. All Toodyay residents are invited to visit the bus. In the meantime if you want to say hello, phone Jeff on 9574 2498 or call Phil 9574 5426 – or just roll up to the Shed on Monday or Thursday mornings for a cuppa.

Imported garden plant can kill grazing stockmovement of hay from infested paddocks. Seed and corms can also be dispersed by water. It takes two to three years for a plant to mature enough to set flowers, and its seed persistence is less than two years. Fire can bring the corms out of dormancy and stimulate growth, making after a fire an important time to control the plant. Cape tulip is an agricultural and bush weed with great agricultural significance as all parts of the plant are toxic to stock. Animals will selectively graze other tastier pasture plants and clover letting the cape tulip grow very well. Cape tulip contains chemicals called glycosides which mainly affect the heart. Symptoms of poisoning in cattle include loss of appetite, abdominal pain, stiffness of the hind legs, diarrhoea, general depression, and weakness that may advance to convulsions or paralysis. Death may occur within hours of consuming the plant or over several days. Cattle are the most commonly affected stock animal. More experienced cattle learn to avoid the plant. However, new and young stock that have never grazed in paddocks containing cape tulip before will eat it. It takes about 1kg of leaf material to cause death overnight. While sheep are also susceptible to the toxin they are rarely affected. However, placing hungry sheep on an infested green or dry pasture will result in poisoning – the plant is toxic even when dry and in hay form. The best way to prevent poisoning is to avoid stock contact with the plant because as there is no readily available treatment. Always seek veterinary advice if you think your animals have consumed cape tulip. Cape tulip can be difficult and expensive to eradicate because some effective herbicides can also damage pasture legumes. Research is continuing into economically

viable controls, including biological control. The WA Department of Agriculture recommends asking your agribusiness

consultant, local biosecurity officer or landcare coordinator for assistance in preparing a weed-management plan.

Get your muffins frozen for Showand Districts Bendigo Community Bank. The Show needs people like you, both big and small, to keep this event local and happening each year on our historic showground of which we are all so proud. We are looking at motivating entrants this month in the quilting, patchwork and needlework sections and, over the other side of the Lee Steere Pavilion, the Children’s section. So as soon as the schedule is up on the website, kids should jump on to toodyayagsociety.com.au and submit their entries. In the Children’s Cooking section cakes or muffins can be frozen, so make them now to avoid pressure at Show time. The Needlework was very well supported last year and with the success of the recent Fibre Festival I expect, and would hope, that a few of the beanies, scarves and shawls will be Show entries. It was reported in May that an extremely contagious virus is having a devastating impact on WA racing pigeons and is now affecting fancy pigeons in this state. The Australian National Pigeon Association has determined that no birds from WA will be allowed at the 2016 National Show due to this recent outbreak. On consultation with our Pigeon Steward, we have been advised to withdraw the Pigeon Section this year and all country shows and the Royal Perth Show have taken the same precaution. This virus does not affect poultry, only pigeons, so with luck the pigeons will be back in the next year or so. Our Entertainment Coordinator Evelyn has organised quite a few new attractions for this year’s Show. We have not one but two fashion parades on the day as well as a top busker from the city, Mickey J, doing two shows in the afternoon. Raptor Aware the Falcon Man, Scottish and Irish dancers, the very popular BMX freestyle, karate club demos and many other forms of entertainment will be there. We are also setting aside a Young Children’s area which will be by the new playground near the Youth Hall. Ice-cream and coffee vans, pony rides, face painting and music will enhance the venue and we are trying to attract a clown to round things off for the younger ones. This area will be secure and will be an attraction in itself. For Show information, please contact our secretary Carrie on 0476 918 601 or email [email protected] to answer any questions about booking groundspace.

Toodyay Theatre GroupJessica Shilcock

JUNE WAS another busy month for us – the entertainment business never sleeps and sometimes it seems we don’t either. Our Peter Pan auditions had an amazing turn-out with many past members returning and a wealth of new faces too. The evening started with a few games to get the kids in the mood before everyone split into smaller groups to practise their short audition pieces. Let me tell you, this town has lots of fantastic young talent. Rehearsals have begun and the show’s characters are starting to show themselves as the cast gets to know the parts better. David Mitchell and Danni Grundy are doing a great job co-directing and steadily bringing the production together. This isn’t David’s first step into the director’s chair, with around 13 years’ experience in the Toodyay Theatre Group, the last half of these as president. He has his hands full with this production but is handling it fantastically.

Danni is newer to the group but loves working with children. She is keen to learn the ins and outs of production and how to bring kids into the fold. What better way to do that than by co-directing something we all know and love like Peter Pan and seeing shy children grow into strong little stars. Peter Pan is booked for the last weekend in July and the first in August so save the dates. The show opens at Toodyay’s Memorial Hall in Stirling Terrace on Friday July 29 and will be followed by Saturday night performances on July 30 and August 6. Tickets cost $20 for an adult and $10 for a child – reserve seats fast because this show is shaping as one you won’t want to miss. Alcohol, soft drinks and snacks will be sold at the bar, with strictly no BYO. Makit Hardware is again doing us a huge favour by handling ticket sales – big thanks to Caroline and staff. For more information about the Toodyay Theatre Group please feel free to visit our Facebook page, write to us at PO Box 402 or contact one of our members.

Avon Hills Mining Awareness GroupBrian Dale

GUESS WHO’S listed as a sponsor of this year’s Toodyay Agricultural Show? It’s Yankuang Bauxite Resources complete with the Yancoal logo. If you thought they were gone, think again. The 100 per cent Chinese state-owned company is set to return to Toodyay in October at the local agricultural show, although in what form is yet to be seen. Not so long ago they were here doing exploration and trading as a partner in the now-terminated Bauxite Alumina Joint Ventures (BAJV) which was 70 per cent owned by Yankuang and 30 per cent by Australian partners Bauxite Resources Limited (BRL). The promise of jobs had our shire completely blinded by a misguided view that mining would somehow save Toodyay – the question was always from what? Much unrest was created in local communities at the peak of the push to mine

Toodyay Friends of the RiverGreg Warburton

THE WEEKEND of June 18 and 19 was a very busy one for Toodyay environmental groups with the native plant sale, a Naturalists’ Club botanical excursion to Wongan Hills and Friends of the River tree planting at Millard’s Pool. Thanks to excellent ground preparation by Greening Australia WA and Parkland Contracting the small group of Friends volunteers got more than half the seedlings planted on the first day. The highlight of the day was a big group of children who had fun getting muddy and wet as they planted the sedges around the ponds under the watchful eye of their equally enthusiastic parents. That night the rain gently fell, symbolically welcoming the 4000 new plants to their new home. Thank you to all those helpers who came along, some for both days. The three mattock swingers deserve special mention. A separate site has been prepared further along Millard’s Pool towards Nardie Cemetery for planting by an Inclusion Group during the school holidays on the July 11.

Members, Albert and Vicki introduce seedlings to their new home at Millard’s Pool.

Toodyay Naturalists’ ClubBrian Foley

LAST MONTH the Nats’ Club enjoyed a couple of excursions. On the long weekend, 18 members stayed in Kellerberrin at the Prev and enjoyed the local hospitality. Walks around the town and on the Sunday to the Durokoppin Nature Reserve occupied our time and on Monday’s return journey we visited the Charles Gardiner Nature Reserve. Both reserves are very interesting places and it’s incredible to see what grows and flowers during the winter months – quite different to visiting in spring when everything is in full flower. The next outing was to the Wongan Hills area, Lake Ninan, Christmas Rock Wall and Mt Matilda, again very different in geological terms and so very different in flora, birdlife and fauna. Our monthly meeting was held during our lunch break. If any members of the public would like to join us then please contact any member. A full program for the year can be found at website toodyaynats.org.au . For more information please phone club president Brian on 9574 5448. For injured native animals or reptile relocation contact the Wildcare Helpline 24 hours on 94749055.

Mud makes planting fun at Millard’s

The working bee this month commences at 9am on Sunday July 17 with activities including inspection of re-vegetation sites with possible additional planting. Contact Robyn 9574 2578 or Sarah 0428129477 for locations and further

enquiries.You can also visit our website toodyayfor.org.au New members are always welcome. If you are interested in coming to see what we do, check the whiteboard at the Duidgee Park car park for details about where we are working that Sunday. We meet every third Sunday of the month.

Chinese miners dig into local showhere before BAJV shut up shop earlier this year and moved out of town. Morangup was always smack bang in the firing line and now the new Mauravillo residential estate near Wundowie looks set to be heavily impacted if the Felicitas and Fortuna mines become operational. What type of propaganda will Yankuang have in store for us at this year’s show? How many jobs will they promise and how closely will they be working with the Toodyay Shire Council? Thanks to last year’s new M.6 mining policy, the shire can talk to mining companies without fear of being questioned by constituents about what those mining companies propose to do here. Ninety per cent of the bauxite deposit is on land owned by Peter Cook who in the March Herald said he had made no deals with the Chinese but if they came to him with a suitable offer to buy his 20,000 plus acres (8074ha) property, he would sit down and negotiate. Are talks once again underway?

It seems that with mining matters, straight answers are still hard to come by. However, one thing is for sure – Chinese and Singaporean investors are buying up farms in the area. It looks like our problems are set to re-emerge.

Python WatchDesraé Clarke

TERMITES are the principal diet of this strange-looking frog. Often found near colonies of termites in mounds, stumps and infested wood, it burrows deep, to over a metre, in moist sand. The Turtle Frog is one of the larger frogs with the male snout-vent length (SVL) up to 42mm and the larger female, as is usual with frog species, up to 50mm. As depicted in the photo, courtesy of Reptiles and Frogs of the Perth Region by Brian Bush et al, the animal’s body is swollen-looking with a very small head, tiny eyes and no tympanum (ear hole). Colouring is pale yellowish-brown, grey or dark brown, with a dirty white-coloured belly which can also be flecked with dark brown.

The legs are short, stout and strong and extend from the side of the body giving the appearance of a turtle, hence its common name Turtle Frog. The female lays up to 40 eggs , approximately five to seven millimetres in

DRIVING any vehicle can be hazardous and wildlife on WA roads unfortunately compounds the hazards. Here are some useful points to keep in mind if you hit an animal.

Stop in a safe placeDO NOT stop suddenly in a dangerous location. Take extreme care on the roadside and switch on your hazard lights.

Approach with cautionAPPROACH any wild animal with care. Kangaroos can lash out with their powerful back legs, even when severely injured. Most animals are able to inflict nasty bites and scratches especially when frightened and in pain.

If the animal is deadIF YOU are able to do so safely, drag the carcass off the road so other animals seeking an easy meal are not endangered.

Please do not leave a joey to die a slow death or to be killed by other wildlife. Check for a bulge in a pouch or movement which may indicate a live young animal. Kangaroos , possums and quenda (bandicoots) carry their young in a pouch; and young joeys can survive for several days after their mother’s death. Quendas have a backwards-facing pouch. Do not lift a joey by its tail, legs or with your hands under its arms because all its weight is in the lower part of its body and picking it up in this way will break its ribs. Support the lower part of the body with one hand and use your other hand to loosely circle the joey’s neck. Gently remove the joey and wrap it in a towel or a piece of clothing. Very young, furless joeys are fused to the mother’s teat and any attempt to separate them from the teat will destroy their mouthparts. If a joey is attached to a teat, cut the teat off as far down as possible and leave it in the joey’s mouth.

Leave the joey of a smaller kangaroo, wallaby, possum or quenda in the pouch and take the dead or dying mother to a vet or wildlife rehabilitator. When checking a pouch, note whether there is a second elongated teat indicating that the dead animal has a joey at heel and report this to the Statewide Wildcare Helpline on 9474 9055 – they may be able to arrange its later rescue.

If animal critically injuredADULT kangaroos with leg or spine fractures cannot be saved and should be euthanised

What to do if you hit a roo

humanely by shooting as soon as possible. In the country, nearby farmers, police or shire rangers may be able to assist.

Short-term emergency careUNTIL you can get the animal to a vet or wildlife rehabilitator, it requires:- indirect warmth; - quiet (no radios, televisions, domestic machinery, domestic animals or children); and - darkness in a secure, solid-sided container of a suitable size. Put a cloth in the botttom of the container to give the animal purchase. A joey requires the same care as a premature human baby.

Don’t feedNATIVE animals have highly specialised diets and a rescued animal can survive without food until you are able to get it to a qualified person. Offering unsuitable food can further compromise the animal’s outcome. Depending on circumstances, the animal will probably be dehydrated. If you are not able immediately to deliver the animal to a qualified person, you can offer it tiny amounts of lukewarm water but only if the animal will self-drink. Wherever you are in WA, the Statewide Wildcare Helpline on 9474 9055 can put you in touch with a wildlife rehabilitator who will be able to offer specific emergency advice. If you are in the Toodyay area and have a problem with any native animal, you can call Sue Eldridge on 9574 5407 or 0408 944 981 for more information.

Turtle Frog boasts a resonant croakdiameter, in a burrow and development to the frog stage is within the egg capsule with no tadpole stage. The call of this unusual species is an abrupt deep croak. The Turtle Frog is found from as far north as Geraldton and the Houtman Abrolhos Islands down to approximately Esperance in the south. They are generally found on the Swan coastal plain but not in the Darling Range. Although I have been with naturalist groups in areas where the Turtle Frog is located, I have never seen one. The Naturalists’ Club members would be very grateful to hear of sightings of this strange frog and, if possible, accompanied by a photograph.

Toodyay Garden ClubWendy Lewer

AN ENTHUSIASTIC crowd of more than 60 members and guests visited a large local garden, high on a hill with views to die for. Our president Mary welcomed everyone and introduced owner Ingrid who was presented with a garden apron and tools to thank her for allowing us to visit her garden. Ingrid gave a brief history of her property, explaining that all the grounds, fencing, plants and trees were destroyed by the fire in 2009 not long after the property was purchased, although thankfully the house was saved. It has taken Ingrid more than five years to re-establish the gardens with mostly native plants and trees. She explained that having limited gardening experience initially, she has worked tirelessly to gain knowledge of the local conditions, the soil and the plants that thrive here in Toodyay. The gardens mostly consist of native plants, although there are beautiful yellow roses thriving in a protected part of the garden, surrounded by bougainvillea and acacia. Near the house is a beautifully constructed metal sculpture of a zanthorrea or grass tree, as well as water bowls strategically placed to encourage the birds and wildlife. After morning tea, we enjoyed a fascinating talk from an expert on how to successfully propagate plants from cuttings. For further information about our next garden visit, joining the club or, if you would like to open your garden for a future visit, please contact Leonie on 9622 1001.

Bird of the MonthDesraé Clarke

WHAT A thrill it was to have the rare Restless Flycatcher on our property recently. It has, however, been observed by a golf enthusiast on the Toodyay course on several occasions. The Restless Flycatcher could be mistaken for the Willie Wagtail but there are a number of important differences. At 16 to 21cm the Restless Flycatcher is considerably smaller than the Willie Wagtail of 19 to 22cm. The smaller bird has white underparts up to the base of the bill while the Willie Wagtail has white underparts but a black throat. The calls of the two species differ greatly, with its metallic grinding call giving the smaller bird the name of the ‘scissor-grinding bird’. The Willie Wagtail has a lilting call that reflects the ‘sweet pretty creature’.

Willie Wagtail look-alike is a restless rarity

Another significant difference is that the Restless Flycatcher gracefully sweeps its tail whereas the Willie Wagtail has constant switching and sudden body movements. The Restless Flycatcher has a blue-black head, wings and tail; its back is slightly grey and, as previously noted, the entire underparts are white. Its favoured habitat is open woodland of wandoo, salmon gum or mallee or vegetation in the vicinity of water. The Restless Flycatcher breeds from July

through to January, building a small shallow cup-shaped nest of shredded bark, fine grass, spider web and finally an outer camouflage of spider egg sacs and lichen. The usual clutch is of three white eggs. The male bird assists with the nest building and incubation over 14 to 15 days with the young fledging at 13 to 16 days. An extremely interesting characteristic of this species is its method of catching insects by hovering low over grasses, branches and foliage with bill open and calling with its grinding sounds. Wildlife Helpline 9474 9055 is a 24/7 volunteer service, together with Sarah Dudley on 0428 129 477. Gidgegannup’s Terry High, 0408 918 272, cares and rehabilitates injured or orphaned birds of prey such as goshawks, owls, eagles and falcons.

HAVING passed by Jane Brook Estate Wines on our many excursions to Toodyay and beyond, we were aware of its existence but had never patronised the establishment. However, returning home from an overnight stay in Goomalling, we came to Jane Brook at the Perth end of Toodyay Road and stopped for lunch. Jane Brook Estate Wines has been owned and operated by David Atkinson and his family for more than 40 years, and we were greeted at the cellar door by his wife Beverley and their daughter Liz. We selected our fare and were escorted by Liz to a charming vine-covered courtyard and seated beside the babbling Jane Brook from which the winery takes its name. The menu presents a choice of the Classic or the Garden Basket, both for two people and priced at $45. To complement the baskets, several inexpensive extras are offered, including a

Gorgeous gourmet grub at its Plain Jane bestcharcuterie mix, smoked chicken, soup and home-made mini pies and tarts. We chose the Classic Basket and added, for an extra $10, a smoked salmon side dish served with capers, lemon and lettuce with a basil dressing. To accompany our lunch we ordered a bottle of the 2010 Atkinson Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2013 Jane Brook Sauvignon Blanc Semillion. Our basket was magnificent, of excellent quality and contained a balanced combination of home-made and out-sourced produce. The farmhouse terrine was superb and complemented by gourmet balsamic onions, beetroot hommus, two salads and Mediterranean olives. The duck liver pate was perfectly paired with a house-baked baguette and the combination of ripe brie and mature waxed cheddar added a sophisticated character to the platter which was adorned with an amazing array of chutneys and dressings. The basket would have served three – top marks for variety and outstanding value.

The Garden Basket brims with vegetarian fare: home-made frittata, pumpkin pickle, roasted mushrooms, balsamic onions, green goddess dip, two salads, Mediterranean olives, the delicious ripe brie, red Leicester cheese and crispy house-baked baguette with assorted chutneys and dressings. As regular readers will be aware, I am a connoisseur of sticky toffee pudding, and the JB offering is first rate. The cake is exceptional and just stodgy enough, the toffee sauce is inspirational and the local ice cream is perfection. Bonita ordered the chocolate fondant which she described as sublime and we accompanied our dessert with a bottle of Jane Brook’s unique and spectacular Sparkling Gold which contains suspended 23-carat West Australian (edible) gold leaf. To round off a totally memorable interlude, we enjoyed a couple of small glasses of Jane Brook Liquor Tokay with our coffee and caught a cab home. We marked Jane Brook as pub grub at its best and cheaper than chips.

Transwa’s EnhancedAvonLinkServiceThe AvonLink train service has been expanded to 28 services per week. The service provides three return trips between Northam and Midland (via Toodyay) on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and one return service on Wednesday and Saturday.

Add in one return service for 10 special events each year, and passengers now have even more opportunities to relax and take in the beautiful scenery of the Avon Valley, while travelling on the AvonLink.

With access to powerpoints and free WiFi, this is one of the most comfortable and passenger-friendly train services in Australia. Please note that the extended service is for a trial period, and will only be continued if current patronage levels increase.

Tickets are available on-board (cash only) or for more information, visit transwa.wa.gov.au or call 1300 662 205.

A Taste of ToodyayA Culinary Correspondent

THIS IS an easy recipe and another great winter warmer – it can feed a whole family or be jazzed up for a special dinner party meal. If you have made fish pies previously and always cooked the fish first, you may be a little doubtful but the fish cooks in the sauce in the oven and remains moist and delicious. Use either Parmesan cheese or cheddar. Not having to pre-cook the fish makes this recipe quicker and easier than most – it’s just a matter of cooking and mashing the potatoes, steaming the spinach (which you can leave out), making the sauce and putting the whole lot in the oven. We used fish from Direct Seafood NT whose van comes to Toodyay’s new tourist information bay every fortnight. They have a fantastic selection of Northern Territory and Kimberley fish. While there is nothing like freshly-caught fish, it’s hard to find in Toodyay so this freshly-frozen fish is a great substitute. Direct Seafood NT says all its fish is wild-caught in pristine waters off the north coast of the NT and WA and complies with Northern Territory Seafood Council requirements for industry sustainability.

The visiting fish van also stocks barramundi, red emperor, cod, mackerel, gold band snapper and saddletail snapper and recently added octopus, mussels, oysters, king snapper wings, Shark Bay whiting fillets, cuttlefish and shark (bronze and gummy) to their range.

Ingredients (serves 6)5 large potatoes, peeled (cut into small, similar-sized pieces to all cook at the same time)Salt and ground black pepper2 free-range eggs2 large handfuls of spinach (optional)1 onion, diced (or use a leek)1 carrot, dicedOlive Oil300ml double cream

2 good handfuls of grated mature cheddar or Parmesan cheeseJuice of 1 lemon1 heaped teaspoon English mustard1 large handful of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped500g white fish, skin removed, sliced into stripsNutmeg (optional)

Method Preheat the oven to 230C (220C fan-forced). Put the potatoes into salted water and boil for 5 minutes. Carefully add the eggs to the pan and cook for a further 8 minutes until hard-boiled, by which time the potatoes should also be cooked (put a sharp knife into a potato piece –if it’s soft, the potatoes are ready). Steam the spinach over the same pan or in the microwave oven for about a minute. When spinach is wilted, gently squeeze away any excess moisture. Drain the potatoes, remove the eggs and cool in cold water before peeling and quartering them. In a separate pan, slowly fry the onion (or leek) and carrot in a little olive oil for about five minutes, then add the double cream and bring just to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the cheese, lemon juice, mustard and parsley. Put the fish, eggs and spinach into an oven-proof dish and mix together, then pour over the creamy vegetable sauce. Mash the potatoes (to make extra creamy

Feast on a fabulous easy-cook fish piemash, use an electric beater), adding either olive oil or butter, salt, pepper and a touch of nutmeg if using, and spread on top of the fish. If you want to be really fancy you can pipe the potatoes over the fish mixture. Don’t smooth it out too much so you get some great crispy potato on top. Place in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until the potatoes are golden. Serve with peas or other greens such as beans or broccoli. We used a mixture of threadfin salmon and red snapper for our fish pie but any white fish is suitable.

Toodyay Shotokan Karate ClubHelen Bainbridge

KARATE club is on a roll with tournaments, belt gradings, club competitions, a state-wide interclub event in Toodyay and an international tournament in Adelaide on the agenda. Last month 12 students competed in an open tournament in Margaret River. Huge congratulations to Kylie Burton for her third place in Senior Female Kumite, and to Eileesh Hanratty for coming second in the eight-years-and-under girls’ division. This was the first time either of them had entered a karate competition. Our awesome young sensei Jordan Turnock was invaluable as team coach and Sensei Ken and Helen stepped up as referees on the day. There is much excitement as we prepare to receive entries for our interclub tournament in Toodyay on Sunday July 24 in the Memorial Hall. Toodyay and Districts Bendigo Community Bank, Toodyay Bakery, IGA and the Op Shop have sponsored this event as well as Healthway, Water Corporation and the Shire of Toodyay. Spectators are welcome for a gold coin donation. The Interclub Friendship Tournament will be held from 10am to 4pm on Sunday July 24 in the Toodyay Memorial Hall. Ten members of the club are preparing to travel to Adelaide for the International USKU Karate Championships next month. What an honour it will be to train and compete among karate-ka from all over the world. The local karate club is fundraising madly to assist our club representatives. Club fundraising is focused on sponsoring our local team members and any help is more than appreciated. We hope to bring home many trophies and accolades to our community.Toodyay Ballet School

Lani McCeady

CONGRATULATIONS again to Isabella Watson from Toodyay Ballet School. Bella is now in her eighth year of classical ballet training and recently took part in the state’s biggest classical ballet competition at John Curtin Performing Arts Centre in Fremantle. Bella was awarded the Evelyn Hodgkinson Scholarship and the Junior Dancer of the Festival Award - an amazing achievement. This year’s students have just finished their classical exam session which was overseen by Anne Butler from the Victorian College of Arts Secondary School.

Toodyay Bowling ClubJacquie Bond, Secretary

WINTER bowls is in full swing. The numbers have been reasonable although not consistent. Sa turdays are showing the most improvement number-wise. We have a number of new-to-the-game players coming along who are enjoying the days. Join us Thursday and Saturday afternoons for a game of social bowls and if you don’t win playing bowls there is always the chance you could win the daily raffle. The club has agreed to participate in the July Inclusion Program. Toodyay Inclusive Community Program and the Shire of Toodyay are organising the event. The program is open to all ages and all abilities and will be run on Wednesday July 13 between 9am and 11am. Come along and see what it is all about. Remember, our Winter Bowls days are Thursdays, 12.30pm for a 1pm start and Saturdays, 1pm for 1.30pm start. If you would like to join us, please contact Lorraine Musielak on 0419 736 936 or simply turn up on the day.

Toodyay Irish DancersAlison Johnson

IT HAS been a busy first half of the year for the dancers, parents and teachers. All the dancers have been working on their skills at their classes and also making friends. Our first event for the year was the Moondyne Festival held in May. The dancers and their parents all enjoyed the event and it was wonderful to see such a big crowd looking on.

Karate club kicks into fundraising

Among some of WA’s best junior karate competitors are (back row - third from left) Justice Kuthan from Bakers Hill, (seventh from right) George Leach from Morangup and (front row, first left) Daniel Lawler from Toodyay.

For some of the younger, less-experienced dancers it was good to see them building their confidence performing and for the older, more experienced dancers it was great to see them really performing at their very best and demonstrating the more difficult steps. We also had a fundraising event held at the IGA in June which went very well. The parents organised a fantastic wood raffle - perfect during the cold June weather. We are holding another event at the end of this month so the parents are busy preparing for that. Nine-year-old Charlotte Hunter who has been competing in Perth throughout the year has come home with medals and placings and is now preparing for the upcoming State Championships. The dancers, as always, are preparing for coming events and are very excited about the new costumes being organised.

Dancers step out for funds

Another triumph as Bella scores Evelyn Hodgkinson Scholarship

A record number of students received the Margaret Illmann Award for Excellence for achieving a perfect score of 100 per cent: Jasmin Griffiths – Grade Four; Famke Inverarity – Grade Four; George Darby – Grade Five; Jasmin Griffiths – Grade Five; Famke Inverarity – Grade Five and Jiselle Hammond – Grade Six. We are now busily preparing for the International Cecchetti Conference during the July school holidays and our students will also be performing at Mandurah for 10 days of comps so it’s very busy time for us. I am so proud of each and every one of my students and so grateful that they have parents so willing to support their dreams Keep stretching.
