Rotary Club of Karrinyup
At the Rotary District 9455 Changeover dinner held last
night,
our club was thrilled to be named the recipient
of the Indigenous
Service Award in recognition
of the work on the Earbus Project.
This Project involves
the design and purchase of a suitable vehicle,
which is fit for purpose to
operate throughout the Kimberley Region
and undertake ear diagnostic tests to
improve the health
of Aboriginal Communities, particularly young children
who
are most at risk
. It is expected that the Ear Bus will predominantly visit
and
treat children in community centres, primary schools
and kindergartens
throughout the Kimberley Region.
The Project will
involve other Rotary Clubs
and organisations and will work closely with
Professor Harvey Coates
and his specialist staff, as well as the Ear Bus
Foundation of WA,
http://www.earbus.org/
to agree the design and specifications
of a suitable vehicle.

##########################
A pair of magpies built
their nest in a farmer's attic.
The farmer didn't know it, but magpies are
notorious thieves,
and this pair were champion crooks.
At first the farmer
didn't mind,
but they stole every bright and shiny object they
could find and put
it in their nest.
The farmer began to get annoyed.
One Sunday, the farmer
was having a party
in the dooryard to celebrate his 25th wedding anniversary
.
The table was set with the family's best china and silverware
. One of the
magpies swooped down,
grabbed a silver spoon, and flew off with it,
leaving the
farmer and his family swearing and grumbling.
That night the farmer
crawled into the attic
to search the magpies' nest for the spoon.
The stench
from dead mice and birds the magpies
had collected for food was
overwhelming.
The magpies awoke,
screeched, and attacked the farmer
with beaks and claws,
leaving bleeding cuts
and welts all over his arms.
That nest had become a
huge bird den to him!
Stairwell Magic
Watch some stairwell
magic occur as people
discover the Escherian Stairwell
at the Rochester
Institute of Technology in New York.
This is definitely an
interesting set of stairs
that appear to take the person climbing them in an
infinite loop.
