Editorial

YOUR Region. YOUR Magazine. YOUR Valley Reporter. The man in the red and white suit certainly gets around this time of year. Tired of all the grinches who complain when the holiday season comes around? Then rid the world of them by spreading some holiday cheer. As we celebrate the festive season and Christmas holidays, it is important to be mindful of the safety and wellbeing of yourself and those around you. You can prevent your family from receiving a dreaded message from the police station by respecting the law. Please don’t drink and drive. Don’t speed. Wear your seat belt. Have plenty of rest and don’t use your phone whilst driving. And remember, for the Christmas and New Year period, double demerit points kick in as of Friday the 19th of December 2014 to Sunday the 4th of January 2015 inclusive. The holiday period is notorious for burglaries and stealing offences from motor vehicles. These types of offences are mostly opportunity crimes and can be easily prevented by

locking your doors, sheds and motor vehicles. See which Roleystone lady was recently awarded “Fundraiser of the Year” and runner-up in 2013. The Valley Reporter got the scoop and all the details can be found on page 13. Don’t forget that if your family is lucky enough to be on holiday during the Christmas or New Year period, why not let others know what happened by sharing any good or bad experiences? Start by putting pen to paper and submit your family’s travelling adventures to The Valley Reporter. If you are looking for a way to give back to the community, why not volunteer your time and skills to an organisation or charity in 2015? There are always plenty of volunteering positions available across Western Australia, and you can read about the facts and benefits of voluntary work on page 28. Are you still looking for that last minute gift idea for

Christmas? Why not pick up an “Apple Labels & Brands” 2015 calendar. It’s the last edition in a great series that has introduced people to the history of the early settlement in our area. The series has been a pleasure to read – don’t miss out. Turn to page 20 for a list of stockists. Once Christmas is over, the task of keeping the kids entertained for the rest of the school holidays can become overwhelming. Don’t fear! We have featured a bountiful array of fun activities for the kids within this issue, all of which are so close to home. Please show your support by shopping smart and shopping local at Go Jo Cleaning & Garden Services, Home Chef - Food for Life, and Green Army Services. Lastly, from all the staff at The Valley Reporter, may your Christmas sparkle with moments of love, laughter, and goodwill. Fiona Newland, Editor and Publisher.

The VALLEY Reporter considers its “Inbox Letters to the Editor” section to be a very important public forum. We make every effort to publish all letters, with those from persons in our readership area taking precedence. All letters to the editor must contain the writers full name, home address and daytime telephone number so the editor may contact the writer if there is a question or concern. For The VALLEY Reporter’s “Inbox Letters to the Editor” full list of guidelines go to; www.thevalleyreporter.com.au/letters.

THANK YOU! Friday 5 December was International Volunteer Day. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1985 it is celebrated worldwide as a day to say “thank-you” to our remarkable volunteers. In Western Australia, more than 600,000 people, over one third of our adult population, spend time volunteering in their community, and they are just the ones we know about. Many hundreds of thousands more work outside the structures of formal volunteer programs. Volunteers generously give the gift of their time, their skill, their energy and personal resources. Their endeavours contribute to almost every aspect of our lives and to the natural and built environment, and help sustain the high quality of life we enjoy and to which we continue to aspire. Without doubt, volunteers help create,

build and maintain strong, connected, flourishing communities and two complex questions that are often asked, but rarely fully reflected on and answered are, “Where would we be without volunteers?” and “What is the value of volunteering?” To this effect, Volunteering WA has taken up this challenge and will lead a groundbreaking study to reveal the economic, social and cultural value that volunteers and volunteer involving organisations make to Western Australia. We invite all volunteer involving organisations to get involved and take part in the census. Simply go to www. volunteeringwa.org.au to find out more. Together, let’s update our understanding of what volunteering really looks like in our State. I thank you! Mara Basanovic Chief Executive Officer Volunteering WA.

The members of the Armadale-Kelmscott Lions Club would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. On Friday 12th December, Santa travelled through the streets of Roleystone in his sleigh while his helpers, the Roleystone Scouts, distributed sweets to all the children. The sleigh run started at 6:00pm at Cross Park in Jarrah Road and proceeded north along Jarrah Road and turned right into Raeburn Road travelling along Raeburn Road to Northward Road then via Northward Road, Tyers Road, Holden Road, Robin Road and back to Jarrah Road. The sleigh then travelled via Jarrah Road, Heather Road, Holden Road and Wygonda Road, before returning to Jarrah Road and back to Cross Park where Santa and his helpers talked to the children. The members of the Armadale-Kelmscott Lions Club would like to thank all those who made the effort to come out and see Santa on his special visit to Roleystone. Please support the Armadale-Kelmscott Lions Club by purchasing a Lions Christmas Cake to complement your festive celebrations.

After fifteen years of service as the General Manager of the Araluen Botanic Park Foundation (Inc.), Rod Ross has retired effective from 28 November 2014. The Council of the Foundation has announced that Garden Development Manager, Grant Nixon, has been promoted to the vacant General Manager position and a further senior appointment will be made to suit managerial requirements. President of the Araluen Botanic Park Foundation, Mike Nelson, says, “During his time, Rod has overseen extraordinary changes in the Park. The triumphant return of the It’s Springtime at Araluen Tulip Festival, with the largest-ever planting of tulips must be a highlight of Rod’s reign. Other achievements of Rod and the team have been the highly successful Araluen’s Fremantle Chilli Festival, active involvement with the local business community, the ever-increasing volunteer involvement in the Park and the steady growth in visitor numbers and members.” “The Council was pleased to offer the position of General Manager to Grant Nixon. Grant’s long-term commitment to Araluen and his encyclopaedic knowledge of all matters relating to the Park, fit him to lead the team at a very exciting time. The Council of the Foundation looks forward to the future with continued confidence,” he adds.

ARTWORK and DESIGN

RETAIL ROMP DELIVERS FESTIVE FUN ON STAGE Christmas shopping is being put under the spotlight this December with a lighthearted, music-filled festive romp. Presented by Dark Psychic Productions at Phoenix Theatre, A Retailer’s Christmas is a comedy musical following the adventures of retail staff during their busiest time of the year and features local Harrisdale resident Christopher Doney. The show, written by Rebecca Coutts-Smith, who is co-directing the production with Ryan S. McNally, looks at what really happens when customers ask staff to “check out the back”. “The story revolves around workers at a gift emporium who, after having their Christmas party cancelled by the store’s owner, take it upon themselves to throw a bigger and better party,” McNally said. “We’ve incorporated several acts into the show, including a stand-up comedian, burlesque dancer and comedic singer, to make it cabaret-style. “The seating has also been arranged that way with tables of four, six and eight, plus individual seating available.” McNally created Dark Psychic Productions in 2012, producing five shows and three showcases over the past two years, with several staged at Phoenix Theatre. “With A Retailer’s Christmas, we just wanted to stage something that would deliver a funfilled, festive atmosphere,” he said. “It’s a humorous take on working in a retail store at Christmas.”

The show marks Coutts-Smith’s debut as a playwright. “I’ve been involved in the theatre on and off since high school and now I’ve begun the great adventure of starting a writing career,” she said. “It’s been a blast working with everyone at Dark Psychic Productions and Phoenix Theatre and I truly appreciate all the hard work, dedication and support being thrown into the production.” Coutts-Smith said the show was also a sibling act with younger brother Alex, a winner at the 2013 Finley Awards for lighting Eurobeat, supplying light and sound. A Retailer’s Christmas plays at 8pm December 18, 19 and 20 with a 2pm matinee December 20. Tickets are $25, $20 concession plus transaction fees. Please visit www.trybooking.com/GBXM or call 0422 394 749 to book your tickets. Please note: parental guidance is recommended due to mild sexual references and coarse language. Flashing lights and hazing effects will also be used. All proceeds from program and raffle sales are being donated to the Murdoch Community Hospice (www.sjog. org.au/hospitals/murdoch_hospice.aspx). Phoenix Theatre is located at 435 Carrington Street, Hamilton Hill, within the Hamilton Memorial Hall. L-R: Kate Lloyd, Harrsidale resident Christopher Doney, Nikita Harwood and Liv Szulgowski.

RCC CRICKETERS SHOW THEIR RESPECT

“WHO ELSE WANTS A GREAT HAIRCUT?”

Written by Peter Thatcher On Wednesday the 3rd of December 2014 cricketing students and staff from Years 6-10 joined the broader Australian public and paid tribute to the late Philip Hughes, Australian Test Cricketer who passed away recently in the most tragic of circumstances. They brought in their personal bats and hats and displayed them as a show of respect in front of the College’s Administration Building. Photographs courtesy of Mrs Vicki Sallur.

Should you become involved with Neighbourhood Watch? Given the recent spate of crime occurring in Roleystone, Karragullen and the Churchmans Brook areas, then I believe the answer is a resounding yes. Neighbourhood Watch encourages neighbourhood participation and shared responsibility of what is happening in your neighbourhood. This can be vital to you and your family’s safety. You and your neighbours are in the best position to notice something unusual in your area, but it is your responsibility to report any suspicious behaviour to the police. Neighbourhood Watch has information that improves the quality of information you pass onto police, which enhances the level of home security and personal security for you and your family and encourages documentation of assets, including property marking using special pens. By joining Neighbourhood Watch, you will also be kept informed on local and contemporary crime prevention that you can share with your neighbours. If you are part of a Bushfire Ready Group this is an excellent opportunity to link the two to share information. The Roleystone Family Centre have agreed to be the central point for Neighbourhood Watch in Roleystone, Karragullen, Churchmans Brook and surrounding communities where you can obtain a large range of written information relating to Neighbourhood Watch. In the New Year we will have a display at the Roleystone Shopping Centre. You can find information at www.nhw.wa.gov.au or by contacting me at pathart1@bigpond.com. Neighbourhood Watch is a joint police and community program. Its success depends on your support. Crime prevention is everybody’s business. Pat Hart, Member Neighbourhood Watch WA.

Living in Australia means we are at high risk of developing skin cancer. However, you don’t have to compromise fashion to protect yourself. The SunSmart team at Cancer Council WA have once again collaborated with Central Institute of Technology by asking the Fashion and Textile Design students to create a design that incorporates sun protection with youth fashion. SunSmart Campaign Coordinator Carolyn Minto said it can be difficult to get young people to think about sun protection. “Young people are often fashion and image conscious, and unfortunately this can come at the cost of sun protection,” Ms Minto said. “The project encourages the designers of tomorrow to show that fashion and sun protection can go hand in hand.”

“Melanoma is the most common cancer in young people, and this project is a way of improving attitudes towards sun protection in this group,” she said. The best design was submitted by Cassandra Pittard, Silvia Dzemail and Lauren Willems, and marks the fourth SunSmart fashion garment produced out of the partnership. The garment is made from UPF50+ fabric, which provides excellent sun protection, and is available to purchase from Ruck Rover General Store in Northbridge. The garment launch coincided with National Skin Cancer Action week, which ran from 16 - 22 November.

The time is now. We create our world through our thought, intention and actions. Our dreams can become our reality! A number of years ago, after returning to WA from North Queensland, Roleystone felt ‘just right’. While living elsewhere I set my intention, and when the time was right, the perfect home in the hills called me in. I love our community, the diversity within the hills, and so many open-minded people. I’m an artisan and Soulfelt Threads is my spirit’s language. I speak through my heart and hands to create works of art in various mediums. Textiles and creativity is one of many passions. I love that moment of inspiration, when time shifts and weaves, when connection is clear and strong, and the physical world melts away. You are left with your heartbeat and pure creativity - bliss! Next year, 2015, looks to be a year of sharing the love, so I will be offering various workshops locally to manifest your own language through art, tools of empowerment, and connection. I am also a custodian of Wild Woman Weekend and Wyld Wayz, which create sacred spaces for women to gather. We honour and empower ourselves from the

inside out. We create and strengthen friendships with sisterhood. We ignite the internal flame to follow our passions and our dreams, and we share ways to honour ourselves, the elements, Goddesses, mother earth and grandmother moon. Wild Woman Weekend empowers women and helps us become the best we can be. Our 10th Wild Woman Weekend retreat will be held in May 2015, and we also gather for day workshops, retreats, interstate workshops, and international soul journeys. If this resonates with you, reach out and make a connection by searching Soulfelt Threads on Facebook or by visiting www. w i l d wo m a n w e e ke n d . com. Larissa O’Neill.

There have been some wonderful foster carers in Roleystone and surrounding areas, doing a fabulous job at ensuring beautiful animals in need find loving homes. In some circumstances, they have had some pretty disheartening starts to life, but with ample love, care and affection, these foster cats and kittens are now looking for new homes. This sweet adorable cat called Patchy was rehomed a few months ago, due to difficulties in living circumstances. However, she unfortunately came into our hospital a few weeks ago as an abandoned cat. She is super affectionate, and she thrives on company and lots of care and cuddles. She would suit any couple or family with children who are willing to give her the love and kindness that she truly deserves. If you think that you could give Patchy a forever home, please call the hospital. The cats have all been fully vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped and sterilised. To view our cats available for adoption, please go to the ArmadaleByford Veterinary Hospital Facebook page, and for more information, please call the Veterinary Hospital on 9399 4299.

A reunion is being organised for Cecil Andrews SHS students and staff who were in Year 8 in 1981, 9 in 1982 & 10 in 1983. It will be on March 1, 2015 @ the Narrogin Inn, Armadale.

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS FAIR St Christopher’s Anglican Church held its annual Christmas Fair on the 29th of November, and we would like to thank everyone who came along and supported us on the day. The fair was a great success, with a variety of stalls and tables, such as Books and White Elephant, offering beautiful products and wares just in time for Christmas. Keeping with the festive theme, Father Christmas delighted the young ones with a special appearance. Christmas also came early for a few lucky people who won a raffle Christmas Hamper and other fantastic prizes. Meanwhile, singers from “Sing Australia” contributed to the wonderful community atmosphere and joyous Christmas spirit with a lovely selection of songs. Finally, we would like to thank The Valley Reporter and their staff for advertising the fair, making and distributing posters, and their overall generosity that helped make the event one to remember.

K&K For the last two years, the residents of Bedfordale have been working together to oppose the proposed subdivision of public open space at Lot 108 Springfield Rd, in Bedfordale. This area of 3.4 hectares has been used regularly by residents since it was created as part of the Wallangarra Parklands estate, nearly 40 years ago. A petition was collated last year with over 170 signatures, but the residents felt devastated when the councillors seemed to just ignore their concerns in favour of a business plan to propose the subdivision and sale of two thirds of the land. I had been told that 108 is a spiritually significant number, which was news to me. I was fascinated to read about all the connections to this number, and suggested to the Mayor that instead of subdividing, we should be declaring Lot 108 a sacred space. He didn’t take me up on that idea, so as the next council meeting approached, I decided we should have our own ceremony to declare it

a sacred space. With only one weeks notice, this ceremony took place at Lot KEVIN CAMPBELL 108 on Sunday the 7th of December. After residents assembled, together with Mobile: 0433 728 478 Cr Guenter Best and Deputy Mayor A/Hrs: 9397 6919 Ruth Butterfield, a ceremony took place involving shamanic drumming and didgeridoo, as we called in the four directions of east, south, west and north, and to the animal spirits which represent them. Just as we were finishing our gathering, a beautiful hawk flew in over the top of us and came down low. I took this magical moment to mean that our message to honour this land and claim it for the animals and birds that live there, as well as for the humans who visit, was the right thing to do. Even more wonderful, at the most recent meeting, the DSC members voted to keep a the Lot 107 as it is, no subdivision!

Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 NEWS RELEASE South East Metro District - WA Police At about 8.00pm on Saturday 6th of December 2014 two motorcycles travelling together on Brookton Highway in Karragullen have collided with each other and both fallen to the road, resulting in serious injuries to one rider and less serious injuries to the other. Inquiries into that are being managed by Major Crash staff. That job required the RAC Rescue Chopper to move the injured person from the scene to hospital so if any of you in the areas between Karragullen and Royal Perth heard an oversized mix master flying overhead between 8.30pm and 9.30pm that was probably it.

Curulli’s Seafood Markets – Armadale Our main supply of fresh fish is sourced from the local West Australian coast between Point Samson in the north, to Esperance in the south. The seafood is taken directly from the boat and freighted overnight to Fremantle, and then sent to our store, so it’s fresh to your table. Our prawns and other shell fish are sourced from Garden Island, Shark Bay, Carnarvon, Exmouth and as far north as Darwin, and all cooked fresh in our store. Our New Zealand King salmon and mussels come from the crystal clear New Zealand rivers, and our oysters are sourced whole and shucked daily from Ceduna in South Australia or Tasmania. The business is run by Julian, Rhonda, and Vince, who have all been around seafood their whole lives. In addition, Rhonda is a qualified chef who offers free advice and easyto-follow steps to make cooking your seafood a success. We take pride in our product and can guarantee our quality and service. We now have a great range of our own homemade gourmet products, such as pickled octopus, prawns, mussels, and squid. We also smoke our own salmon, squid, and mussels using natural hickory wood chips. Our entire homemade gourmet products selection has no added preservatives, artificial flavours or colours. With Christmas just around the corner, we are now taking orders for crayfish,

so drop in and see our extensive range of fresh quality seafood. We are situated at 50 Forrest Road, Armadale (Forrest Road Fresh) and open every Wednesday to Sunday. We’ll be trading seven days straight for Christmas, from Wednesday the 17th to Wednesday the 24th of December. You can trust Curulli’s Seafood to provide the freshest seafood for your family; one taste and we guarantee you’ll be “hooked”.

Roleystone resident Tania Everett (pictured far right) was honoured at Parkinson’s Western Australia’s 30th anniversary this month. Tania, who was the highest fundraiser for the “A Walk in the Park” 2014 event (and the runner-up for the same event in 2013), was awarded Fundraiser of the Year for her continued dedication to supporting Parkinson’s WA through innovative fundraising. She secured sponsorship from local businesses and individuals, and contributed significantly to the success of the event. Tania and her husband Phillip have been Parkinson’s WA members since 2005, and are popular and active in the WA community. Parkinson’s CEO Brenda Matthews said “We are lucky to have many dedicated fundraisers, and awarding Fundraiser of the Year is never easy. Tania goes above and beyond to raise funds for our organisation every year, and we are proud to have her and Phillip on our team”. The Parkinson’s WA Fundraiser of the Year receives a plaque and a gift from the organisation. The Volunteer of the Year was awarded to Leonore Shapiro of Woodlands, who also received a plaque and a gift. The Valley Reporter would like to congratulate Tania Everett on all her hard work towards such worthy causes. Well done!

Drug Aware Ignite Basketball teams moving up the ladder! The City of Armadale’s Drug Aware Ignite Basketball teams are having a break away season this year. Drug Aware Ignite Basketball is a full time, sport based intervention program targeted at young people involved, or at risk of becoming involved, in crime or anti-social behaviour. Mayor Henry Zelones said Ignite uses basketball to engage young people through physical activity, leadership development, education/training and community involvement. “This year we have three teams competing in the Saturday morning Perth Redbacks league. “The U18s Tigers team is currently sitting in the top spot by five points, with several games still to play in the competition. “The U14s Warriors team has gone from strength to strength this year, and they are sitting in joint third position on the ladder which is a vast improvement from bottom position last year. “The improvement to their position on the ladder, for both teams, is no doubt due to their commitment and regular attendance at the Tuesday training sessions, where they work on improving their fitness levels and basketball skills. “The Ignite Diamonds girls’ team is also going from strength to strength, racking

up a number of big wins this season with a much improved squad. The most recent saw them victorious with a win of 91 to 34 and with continued hard work and dedication, this will surely continue. “Young people from the program also took time out to give back to their community recently, and spent a Sunday morning fund raising at their local Bunnings serving hot dogs and drinks. “It was wonderful to see the kids all chipping in to help a worthy cause and was a great effort, showing exemplary team work off the basketball court. “The proceeds from the fundraiser went towards buying grocery vouchers for a local family that was experiencing financial difficulties”, said Mayor Zelones. The success of the Drug Aware Ignite program would not be possible without the support of our funding partners; Department of Sport and Recreation, WA Police Strategic Crime Prevention Division, Healthway, the Department of Child Protection and Family Support, Public Transport Authority and the Local Drug Action Group.

Help the Salvos feed 10,000 people in need this Christmas The Salvation Army is calling on the community to give a meal and give hope to someone in need this Christmas. The 10,000 meals campaign asks people to give as little as $10 to provide a Christmas meal for someone who may otherwise go without one this festive season. Ensuring people don’t go hungry is an important part of the work of the Salvos and has been for more than 130 years. Our research shows that more than 30% of the people we assist at Christmas will have no one to share a meal with on Christmas Day. But it’s not just about food - it’s also about giving people a sense of community and a place to belong. Especially at Christmas which can be a lonely time for people with nowhere to celebrate. Please visit 10thousandmeals.org.au to donate a meal for $10 and make a difference in someone’s life this Christmas. Ref: www.salvationarmy.org.au.

On Sunday 7 December four teams participated in the Lightning Carnival held by TBAWA at Yokine Reserve. Roleystone was well represented with all teams doing an awesome job: Royals finished 2nd in U10’s and in U13’s (out of 22 teams), Nitros finished 9th, Bandits 3rd, and I’m very proud to say RRE Red Sox brought home the winning plaque to add to our clubrooms. We would like to thank our committed umpires (Wendy, Anthony, Dylan and Mike) for attending the carnival and everyone who helped out on the day. A number of sponsors attended our recent photo sessions and we would like to remind everyone to continue to support Roleystone Animal Hospital, Roleystone Chiropractic, Seadragonz Swim School, Roleystone Supa IGA, Roleystone-Karragullen Community Bendigo Bank, Karragullen Gravel & Garden Supplies, Creative Driveways & Fencing, Tony Simpson, Don Randall, WJ & KS Automotives, Hogs Breath Cafe Kelmscott, Roleystone Pharmacy, and our major sponsor, Roleystone Real Estate. On Friday 21 November our U8’s played an evening game instead of the normal Saturday morning game, which followed with a sausage sizzle. We also had our pitching machine out for the older children (and some parents) to have a go at hitting a “pitched” ball. This was very popular and many families stayed around to enjoy a social evening on the green. We also had our annual fundraising for the season with the sale of chocolates – thank you to everyone who purchased these. Our two State Championship teams have been training hard and we can see lots of improvements already. These players will continue training over the holidays and attend several carnivals in preparation for the Championships on the long weekend in February/March 2015. Their first carnival will be on 10 January and they will also attend a Perth Heat game as Baseball Buddies on 9 and 23 January 2015, so come along to these games and

AUDITION TO ACHIEVE ACTING VISION Calling all Roleystone actors wanting to make a change in the New Year – applications for The Gap in 2015 are now open “I love creating alongside other creatives,” she said. “When I started teaching, I was encouraged by many people to start my own school. “I am passionate about the performing arts and helping people achieve their dreams and potential within the industry.” Ciara Taylor, a 2014 graduate, described The Gap program as challenging and fun while also preparing her for the industry. “Amanda is an honest and reliable teacher whose opinion is full of experience,” she said. “She tries her best to give us every opportunity possible.” Another graduating student, Quaid Kirchner, added: “I’d recommend the course to people who are truly determined and passionate for the art of acting because you learn what’s truly required to make it into the industry.” For more details about The Gap, go to www.actorshub.net and download an audition form, email info@actorshub.net or call 6143 3568. The Actors’ Hub is located at the Subiaco Arts Centre, 180 Hamersley Road, Subiaco.

The Actors’ Hub has a special 40week part-time course that aims to reduce the gap between high school drama and Australia’s leading acting schools, such as the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) and WA Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), as well as the industry. Known as The Gap, the program allows students to refine their skills as they learn from highly trained actors, directors and master teachers, gaining insights on how to develop an acting career, while waiting for the next annual intake for performing arts courses across the country. The course delivers professional training in preparation and performance techniques for both stage and screen. Entry to The Gap is by audition only and people must be aged 17 and above. Offers close January 16. The program runs from February to December, alongside the school terms, with two half days and one full day (12 hours) each week. The Actors’ Hub director Amanda Crewes said The Gap provided a serious focus for those wanting to learn more about the profession in a fun, innovative and professional environment. “We aim to help people get there, wherever that may be,” she said. “We want people to feel safe to dream, empowered to dare and inspired to do. “There are limited places on offer at Australia’s major drama schools which results in some of the country’s most talented performers being overlooked. “About 3,500 students graduate from high school drama courses each year but with only a small number accepted into drama schools, many gifted young actors are forced to find a new career path. “The Gap highlights how people might actually be getting in their own way, holding themselves back from achieving what they want out of their acting.” Following her own successful career and her father’s belief that anyone could learn to act, Crewes decided to teach others the art of performance.

CHRISTMAS MARKET AND CONCERT Held quarterly at Cross Park, Jarrah Road, the Roleystone Markets offer a distinctive mix of quality art, craft, provisions and produce to local and surrounding areas. The Christmas Twilight Markets took place on Sunday 7 December. From 3pm to 8pm, the Markets were alive with Christmas spirit as people found unique gifts from over 100 stores and celebrated the joyous season of giving. Wildthyme Natural Soap was one of many stores at the Christmas Twilight Markets. A small, family run business, Wildthyme Natural Soap has been hand-making soap in Roleystone for 12 years. Their brand new Aromatherapy Bath Bliss in Lime and Peru Balsam or Lavender flavours made the perfect gift for any member of the family. Artisan Spice was another store at the Markets that offered fresh, hand-made spice in small batches, while Askrigg Orchards provided fresh fruit and vegetables for sale from their orchard on Canning Mills Road. Roleystone P&C also had a store at the Markets offering a special gift-wrapping service with a huge assortment of paper to those who wished to have their items wrapped. There was plenty of delicious food available as well. Bona Pizza Mobile Wood-fired Pizza

included home smoked cherry tomatoes on their menu, and a team participating in the Serpentine Jarrahdale Relay for Life ran the popular sausage sizzle. This team, known as “Team Boo Bees”, is made up of people who have been touched by cancer, either personally or through family and friends fighting the disease. This year the Roleystone Markets teamed up with the Roleystone Musicians Club to organise entertainment for all ages. Deb de Boer from the Roleystone Musicians Club and Christine Heavey from the Roleystone Markets Committee successfully organised face painting, a bouncy castle, pony rides, animal petting, carol singers, dances, and bands such as “Dance with Tash”, which saw Chris on the drums, Tash with the vocals, Pete on bass, and Dale on the guitar. It wouldn’t be a Christmas Markets without Santa, and the man in red and white made a special visit after 5pm. The Roleystone Community Garden congratulates the Roleystone Market Committee for organising and running the Twilight Markets. With visitors arriving from far and wide, the Markets maintained a lovely community atmosphere throughout the day and ended with a concert under the setting sun. On behalf of all store holders, Tez’s Trezures would like to thank and congratulate every volunteer involved in organising the Roleystone Markets. We are very grateful to have the opportunity to share our wares and services with this amazing community and many others further afield. Bringing such a massive day into being for ‘US’ as a community does you and Roleystone proud. Finally, thank you and good luck to everyone who took home sunflower seeds. If you missed out, grow your own seeds in a pot and bring them along to the markets in March – there are many prizes to be won! Roleystone Markets Dates for 2015: Sunday 1 March 3pm - 8pm, Sunday 14 June 10am - 3pm, Sunday 20 September 10am 3pm, and Sunday 6 December 3pm - 8pm.

ARALUEN ESTATE BUSHFIRE On Thursday 4 December, a fire was reported at Araluen in Perth’s southern hills at 1.42pm Fifty career and volunteer Fire and Rescue Service, Bush Fire Service and Department of Parks and Wildlife firefighters worked tirelessly together with other agencies to extinguish the fire. DFES managed the fire and found the cause to be accidental by machinery. The fire burnt approximately five hectares of land. Firefighters worked through the night before an ALL CLEAR advice was issued for people in Araluen Estate near Old Albany Lane and Heritage Drive in the City of Armadale on the following day. During the fire, residents were advised to drive slowly and with caution due to smoke and emergency services personnel working in the area.

As the end of 2014 draws ever closer, the Roleystone Dojo has had a few events to complete a great year. The 27th of November saw our students grade for various ranks from white belt through to purple belt. It was great to see our students demonstrate the techniques they had learnt throughout the term. A Senior Grading was held by Kofukan Karate Australia at the Roleystone Hall on the 30th November, for those students grading from 2nd Kyu to Shodan (brown belt to black belt). Fourteen students from the Warnbro, Kwinana and Roleystone Dojos attempted their grading that day. Roleystone had four students grade for 1st Kyu, and one attempt Shodan. Grace Warnes, Maddison Kirby, Eve Williams and Jack Warnes (1st Kyu Brown Belt) and Pam Thonell (Shodan Black Belt) all trained very hard, and represented the club well. These gradings are not easy and as Sensei Darren pointed out at our recent Christmas windup, “1st Kyu is the gateway to Shodan”. Students were required to demonstrate Kata (patterns), Self Defence, Bunkai (application of kata) and Kumite (sparring). Both Maddison and Eve were required to perform their selfdefence on Sensei Darren, and after performing many takedowns, I think Sensei Darren was left a little sore. Good work girls! We instructors are proud that all our students passed the rank they were attempting, with the Roleystone Dojo gaining another Shodan student. Great work Pam! Following a long day, it is a tradition for the Roleystone Dojo to hold a celebratory

Green Light for Traffic Lights Main Roads Western Australia has given the green light for traffic signals to be installed at the intersection of Gosnells Road West and Tonkin Highway, Martin. The decision comes three years after the City of Gosnells first made an application for traffic signals to be installed to increase traffic safety at the intersection. City of Gosnells Mayor Dave Griffiths is very pleased with the decision saying it was the only outcome the City would have found acceptable. “There have been many serious crashes at this particular intersection and the installation of traffic signals has been a priority for the City and its RoadWise Advisory Group for years,” said the Mayor. “Unfortunately, these applications and decisions take time but in this instance, the right decision has been made by Main Roads Western Australia.” The Gosnells Road West/Tonkin Highway intersection was listed in the RAC’s Top Ten nominations of worst intersections from across the state. Over 5,000 members of the public responded to the RAC’s Risky Roads campaign which

gave Western Australians the opportunity to highlight substandard roads and intersections throughout the state. Main Roads Western Australia is in the early stages of the design and the actual installation date is currently unknown. In the meantime, Main Roads will be installing an 80km an hour speed limit on Tonkin Highway through the intersections of Gosnells Road West and Gosnells Road East in preparation for the installation of the traffic signals. The design and approvals for the speed zone are underway and it is expected that the 80km an hour zone will be implemented by the end of 2014. Ref: www.gosnells.wa.gov.au.

World on a Plate Returns The City of Gosnells’ popular global cooking series World on a Plate returns in 2015 as part of a community cultural exchange initiative. One night a month between January and June, a local cultural group will prepare a traditional meal in front of a live audience and share information about their culture and way of life.

Mayor Dave Griffiths said that the City is proud to celebrate its cultural diversity through the workshops, which will cover Samoan, Palestinian, French, Egyptian and Afghan cuisine. “With more than a third of the local community born overseas, this is a great opportunity to learn more about different cultures and traditions that make up the Gosnells community,” Mayor

Griffiths said. World on a Plate workshops start at 6pm on Thursday 22 January 2015 with the Samoan Methodist Church preparing a delicious, traditional Samoan feast. Workshops will be held at Southern River College, Southern River Road, Gosnells from 6pm to 8pm. Bookings are essential, as places are limited.

Smokers warned of bushfire risk West Australians are being warned of the dangers of littering cigarette butts this bushfire season. Keep Australia Beautiful and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) issued the warning as the Bureau of Meteorology predicted a warmer than usual summer season across most of the country, with vast areas of the State expected to face an above average fire risk. Keep Australia Beautiful Chief Executive Officer Peter McLean said it was no secret cigarette butts are public enemy number one when it comes to littering. “More than seven billion butts are discarded in Australia each year. If placed end to end they would extend 144,000 kilometres and circle the planet 3.6 times,” Mr McLean said. “Nationally, thousands of fires a year are caused by cigarettes and smokers’ materials. “Cigarette butts account for the most amount of rubbish found along our state’s highways. “Not only are drivers who flick their cigarette butts out the window polluting the environment, they’re also potentially causing dangerous bushfires. You may have a licence to drive, but you don’t have a licence to litter.’’ DFES Operations Deputy Commissioner Lloyd Bailey said DFES attends over 500 mulch fires a year, the majority starting from discarded cigarette butts. “Cigarette butts can cause ground fuels to smoulder for lengthy periods of time and all it takes is a hot and windy day for a

bushfire to be sparked,” Deputy Commissioner Bailey said. “Under the right weather conditions a bushfire can quickly escalate, putting lives and property under threat and placing an enormous burden on emergency services. “I urge everyone to take responsibility for their actions and help to prevent bushfires this summer by carefully disposing of cigarette butts.” The Keep Australia Beautiful National Litter Index 2013/14 recently revealed the number of cigarette butts found in Western Australia is 19 butts per 1,000m². “I’ve had a lit cigarette hit me in the face that was flicked out of a car window before; people are just not getting the message,” Mr McLean said. Careless disposal of a cigarette butt can be very costly, attracting a fine of up to $500 for an individual. During a Total Fire Ban any person who disposes of burning tobacco, or a burning cigarette, cigar or match in circumstances that is likely to set fire to the bush, including throwing it from a vehicle, could face a fine of $25,000 and/or 12 months in jail. The public can report someone carelessly disposing of a cigarette to Keep Australia Beautiful WA (KAB).

INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER DAY

PAGE 28 – © Kiwi Enterprises (WA) P/L as the Trustee of the Newland Family Trust t/as The Valley Reporter

www.thevalleyreporter.com.au

Support the local businesses that support you & your community

Each year on December 5 the world stops to celebrate the social glue of society – volunteers. Founded in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly, International Volunteer Day honours the generous service of over 6 million volunteers in Australia and many more around the world, for enriching our quality of life and social cohesion. Volunteers contribute $290 billion to the Australian economy each year. If it were an industry, it would be the largest in Australia. On December 5, we thanked every volunteer around the country for their commitment and service; those in emergency services, sports, arts, health and in every community activity in every region around Australia. A number of events took place throughout Western Australia to mark the day, and there was also a special feature in The West Australian newspaper and some volunteer stories in a number of the community newspapers. Not only are volunteers helping make the lives of everyone around them happier, they too are happier as a result. Research tells us that just a few hours of volunteer work makes a difference in people’s happiness. It’s proven that volunteers are happier, healthier and even sleep better than those who don’t volunteer. Some other interesting facts associated with sustained volunteering include better mental health, better feelings of wellbeing and longevity, while the experience of helping others provides meaning, a sense of self-worth, a social role and health enhancement.*

Volunteering Australia is very excited to announce the theme for National Volunteer Week 2015: Give Happy, Live Happy. From 11 – 17 of May next year, we want to make Australia the happiest place on earth by asking every Australian to give as much time as they can. “What better way to kick off the campaign than on International Volunteer Day?” said Brett Williamson, CEO, Volunteering Australia. If you are interested in volunteering go to www.volunteeringaustralia.org to search over 10,000 vacant volunteering positions and find the perfect role in your region. Volunteering Australia will be releasing more information about the 2015 National Volunteer Week campaign over the coming months (keep an eye on their website and social media platforms to stay up to date).
