Archery Report

The Wamenusking Fun Shoot was held on the 9th and 10th July 2022. 33 dedicated archers shot over the two days. The weather was kind to us, raining on the Saturday night only. Well done to everyone that competed over the weekend. Good company, good food, a few drinks (a few too many for some), lots of laughs and some great archery. The competition included longbow, recurve and compound bows for men and women. There was a standard target course and a 3D course. As well as a novelty target.

For a hearty, weeknight warmer, you can't go past this super simple taco soup. Just brown the mince and vegies, season with a packet of taco seasoning, and top it off with sour cream, avo, cheese and crunchy tortilla chips. Instead of frying the tortillas, you can opt for using a packet corn chips. But a warm, freshly cooked white corn tortilla is a game-changer, especially when dunked in the soupy goodness!

 1 tbsp olive oil

 1 small brown onion, chopped

 1 red capsicum, deseeded, chopped

 250g beef mince

 35g packet taco seasoning

 500ml (2 cups) Massel

Organic Beef Liquid Stock

 400g can diced tomatoes

 400g can black beans, rinsed, drained

 2 x 125g cans corn kernels, drained

 Vegetable oil, to shallow fry

 4 white corn tortillas

 Chopped avocado, to serve

 Grated cheddar, to serve

 Sour cream, to serve

 Ground paprika, to serve

 Sliced fresh jalapeño chillies, to serve (optional)

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and capsicum, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft and light golden. Add beef, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until well browned.

Step 2

Add the seasoning, stock and 250ml (1 cup) water. Stir until combined. Add the tomatoes, beans and corn. Bring to a simmer. Cook, partially covered with a lid, for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, add vegetable oil to a frying pan to come about 1.5cm up the side of the pan. Heat over medium heat. Cook the tortillas, 1 at a time, for 1 minute each side or until golden. Transfer to paper towel to drain and cool slightly. Cut into wedges.

Step 4

Ladle the soup among serving bowls. Top with avocado, cheddar, sour cream, paprika, tortilla wedges and jalapeño, if using.

Benefit Fund Update

Benefit Fund membership fees have now been set for the 2022/2023 financial year, with these being:

Family Membership: $101.00

Single Membership: $61.00

These memberships cover you (and your family for family memberships) for all Ambulance transport within WA, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for 12 months.

With interstate travel now freely available, we wish to advise that WA does NOT have reciprocal agreements with all states for Ambulance transport:

 ACT, Queensland and SA do NOT have any agreement with St John WA, so unless you have private cover or travel insurance, any ambulance transport costs that you may incur will be your responsibility.

 NSW, NT, Victoria and Tasmania do have reciprocal arrangements with St John WA for those with Benefit Fund memberships. If you require ambulance transport in these states, you will most likely receive an invoice. However, if you have an up-to-date membership, we will be able to assist you in having this invoice written off.

Please note that for aged pensioners there are some variations to these general guidelines. Should you have any queries regarding reciprocal arrangements, please feel free to contact the sub centre.

Sub Centre update

Our office is open on Wednesday from 9.00am - 4.30pm, although there may be rare occasions when the office is unattended during these times. During these office hours, we are able to assist you by processing your Benefit Fund Renewal and ordering First Aid Kits that you may require, along with assisting with any Ambulance Transport inquiries. For your convenience, Credit Card payments are now accepted at our office.

The Country Women’s Association’s (CWA) origins stems from the creation of the Women’s Institute in Ontario, Canada in 1897 after Adelaide Hunter Hoodless lost a child to a preventable illness. It became her life’s work to educate women about hygiene in the home.

Following Canada’s lead in enabling the empowerment of rural women, CWA was introduced in Western Australia in 1924.

This voluntary organisation is for rural and city women. When first established in Western Australia 75% of branches were rural based and 25% were formed in the city. The same percentage is applicable today.

The aim of the Association is to improve the well being of all people, especially those in country areas by promoting courtesy, co-operation, community effort, ethical standards and the wise use of resources.

CWA of WA branches are located around the State, from Kununurra in the north to Condinup in the South and many locations in between. There is an online branch “Web Branch” and a Postal Branch for those who don’t have a branch nearby or unable to attend for whatever reason. Associate membership is also available. You may be surprised to learn that there are approximately 40 Branches located in and around the Metropolitan area.

Each branch is unique and reflects the needs of its community and the skills and interests of members.

DID YOU KNOW?

Throughout the depression years of the 1930’s, CWA branches statewide helped those in need with food and clothing. During WWII, members provided meals for the troops, made camouflage nets, sheepskin vests, knitted balaclavas and socks for the troops. CWA is rated one of the best voluntary war-time services in Australia and was instrumental in establishment of the Women’s Land Army.

CWA OF WA WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN ACHIEVING: -

COMMUNICATION - Itemised Phone bills

Untimed local calls to nearest business centre

More recently partnering with Telstra to solve communication issues in rural Areas and supporting education and training.

RURAL ISSUES- Cottage homes for the aged to be built in rural areas. Installation of safety grids inside all wheat bins and silos. Dams and catchments for water supplies in country areas.

SOCIAL ISSUES- Low alcohol beer

Half price passport valid for 5 years for people over 70 years of age.

Australia Day and Anzac Day holidays be on the day on which they fall. All town sites to have a central block for a park & children’s playground. All foodstuffs labelled with country or origin, irrespective of whether it is packaged in Australia.

EDUCATION- Shelter to be provided for students in school yards.

Provision of hostels for country students attending high schools

LEGAL- Mothers be made guardians of their children.

Where practical or warranted Welfare and Police Officers be women. Recording of demerit points lost for traffic infringements be listed on the notice given at the time of the offence.

SOCIAL/SERVICE ASSISTANCE-

Living away from home allowance for country children

Widows & single mothers without support granted monetary assistance.

HEALTH“

Use By Date” on all perishable goods.

Banning of smoking in buildings and other public places

Newly constructed Public Toilets to include wheelchair access.

Emergency Medical service of general practitioners similar to emergency nursing Service (WACRRM)

TRANSPORT/ROAD SAFETY-

Wearing Crash Helmets by motorbike riders, pillion passengers & bicycle riders to be compulsory; installation white lines on roads, turning lanes and improvements to roads where “Black Spots” identified.

Identification of rail crossings, reflective strips on railway stock and supporting the drive for train conspicuity (i.e. better lighting on trains)

Destination numbers shown on the rear of buses as well as the front.

Prohibiting the use of handheld mobile phones by drivers of motor vehicles.

More information on CWA of WA activities will be covered in the next Bulletin.

The Quairading CWA Branch was formed in 1925 and was originally the Dangin, South Caroling and Quairading Branch.

Whilst our numbers are greatly reduced these days we are hoping to increase membership to enable us to celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2025 just one year after the State celebration in 2024.

Through our Branch’s operation of an Op Shop we have been able to assist members of the Community who have needed a helping hand as well as donating to community events.

The Drink Fountain opposite the Co-Op suitable for humans and their doggie friends to have a drink was donated by our branch to the community to celebrate our 90th birthday. (I am hopeful the Shire will keep their promise and place a memorial plaque on the footpath before we turn 100)

In the past 12 months the branch has donated $619.89 for Community Welfare Assistance, $220.00 to the Quairading Agricultural Society for Show Awards, $400 sponsorship to ensure a safe environment and supervision for juveniles to participate in Halloween fun in Quairading. We have also assisted other branches with $250 donation to help them attend our State Conference.
