CEO CORNER
Welcome back to another CEO
Corner with the cold and wet
weather this week bringing
the much-welcomed rainfall
to the crops. A few wise old
farmers regularly tell me that
the best crops are made with
good rainfall in August and
September, so let’s hope these
events continue for the next few
months.

August generally brings the
beloved rates notices for land
owners within the Shire. This
is major source of income for
Council which enable us to
continue to successfully deliver
the core business activities and
services of the Shire. Throughout
COVID-19, there has been some
ongoing commentary within the
media with how Shires should
and will determine rate values
for 2020-21. The following is a
basic overview of how Council
has determined these rate values
for the upcoming financial year.

Each year, during the budget
planning and adoption process,
the Council considers the rate
charge to be applied against
each property valuation. After

KULIN CHILDCARE HAPPENINGS

SUPER EASY GREEN
PASTA SAUCE!
1. Cook pasta according to
   packet
2. In a blender add kale,
   spinach, broccoli, garlic, fresh
   herbs (whatever you have
   growing), olive oil, one egg
   and a little bit of water
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour over hot pasta and eat!

BUSH WALK AND
NATURE COLLAGE.
1. Walk in bush with a bag to
   collect fallen nature items.
2. Take them home, put on
   table, discuss their size,
   shape, texture.
3. Using some craft glue and
   card or paper, create a
   beautiful collage.

A nature walk is an excellent
way to stimulate your child’s
appreciation for the natural
world. Nature walks excite all the
senses; sight, sound, smell and
touch and sometimes taste, if
they decide to have a little nibble
on some foliage!

Encourage your child to look
for different coloured leaves,
flowers, birds, insects. Listen for
the sounds the insects, birds or
other animals are making. Smell
the leaves and flowers. Touch the
rocks, bark, leaves, flowers and
mud! Easy, free, educational fun!

Take note, have the plants been
burnt by a recent bushfire or
prescribed burn? Do they look
different, smell different?

DELIGHTED BY OUR WILDFLOWERS
Raeline Smith and her husband
recently visited Kulin for a
few days. They were pleasantly
surprised to see how many
wildflowers are out earlier than
expected.

Before they left Kulin, they
popped in to the CRC to share
Raeline’s spectacular wildlife
photos with us, which she took
around Kulin, all within close
proximity to town.

Many thanks to Raeline for
sharing her photos with us. If

HINTS FOR THE HOME
CLEANING WINDOWS
To clean windows, mirrors, and
lamp glasses, wipe over with a
damp newspaper and dry and
polish with a dry newspaper. A
little rubbing is needed, but a
brilliant polish is the result.

To clean windows quickly, rub
dust off, then dip a clean soft
rag in methylated spirits and
rub thoroughly over the glass.
Finally, polish with a duster.
By this method, windows are
cleaned better and quicker.

Book, which will be available at

 When:               Wednesday September 2nd 2020 10am - 12pm
 Where:              Wheatbelt Volunteer Hub (Inside Northam Recreation Centre) 44 Peel Terrace Northam

         Does your community group need more volunteers ?
         Does your community group need help managing your existing volunteers?
         Want to network with other Volunteer Managers in your area?
         Want to get to the bottom of why all the same old people seem to be doing all the work?
         Need a succession plan?
         Don't want to get left behind?
 Volunteers are the backbone of communities in Western Australia. They want a fulfilling experience that will also
 be of benefit to them and for their efforts to be acknowledged and recognised. Organisations that have a Volun-
 teer Engagement Plan or Program that is innovative and flexible are better able to meet the needs and expecta-
 tions of the modern volunteer.

 This workshop will look to
         Help understand some of the motivations of modern volunteers and where to find them
         Look at your club /organisation and identify what systems and processes you have in place for volunteer
          management. If you have none, don't worry we will help you with lots of free resources
         Help you to identify an appropriate approach for your organisation in managing volunteers so that you can
          keep them

 On the day
 Wheatbelt Volunteer Hub will supply paper materials and resources. Resources will also be supplied electronical-
 ly post workshop. If you need to contact us on the day please call Tanya on 0434 078 533
