Editorial
YOUR Region. YOUR Magazine. YOUR Valley Reporter. This month’s magazine highlights the many not for profit sporting and community groups and events we are so lucky to have in Roleystone and its surrounding areas. Please show your support by helping them in anyway you can - let’s have a strong community together! You can support our local Girl Guides by purchasing some of their irresistible biscuits. Did you know that Girl Guides have been selling biscuits in Australia for the past 57 years to raise proceeds to support local, national and international Guiding activities and programs? This year, Australians are expected to consume more than 13 million Girl Guide Biscuits raising over $1.7 million for young Australian women. More than 570,000 packets of Girl Guide biscuits will be sold across Australia this year. Biscuits are available in three flavours: plain, chocolate and choc minis. Girl Guide biscuits have
been made using the same recipe for more than 50 years. Ref: www.girlguides.org.au. The annual Girls on the Porch fundraising event goes from strength to strength each year. Their raffle tickets are hot off the press with a 1st prize of $1,500, 2nd prize of $750 and 3rd prize of $500. Grab your tickets now - you’ve got to be in it to win it! Turn to page 22 to see who recently visited our very own Roleystone Family Centre. The morning included a tour showcasing our wonderful facilities. Have you checked them out? There are always plenty of interesting classes and workshops on offer. The Don Russell Performing Arts Centre just down the road in Thornlie has some great performances coming up, with some conveniently during the day. See page 5 and 20 to check out their regular Morning Melodies events. If you are into cruising, then Travelways (WA)
have a great offer available at the moment. See their advertisement on page 23 to find out how you can cruise between Fremantle and Sydney on the Pacific Eden for a really great price. The Roleystone Dojo team are getting bigger in numbers every day. A great group shot of them is on page 26. Shihan Tomiyama - Kofukan Karate International’s most senior instructor - recently visited the club. Even though his visit was brief he left with an inspiring remark to his up and coming karate enthusiasts - read what he said on page 27. Please show your support by shopping smart and shopping local at WA Real Estate Property Group, Sudsational Housekeeping & Cleaning, Magic Hands Massage, Foothills Animal Hospital, Travelways (WA), Resicert Property Inspections and Earthbound Organics.

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.
Cats are wonderful animals! They are warm and furry. They lift our spirits, offer us companionship and welcome us when we come home. There is nothing like sitting on the porch after a day at work, cup in hand and cat purring happily on lap. But is it time to rethink our long-term love affair with cats? Research suggests that each cat allowed outside can kill between 5 and 30 native birds and animals per day. Cats are the biggest human-linked cause of death for native animals (Australian Geographic web article Natural Born Killers, 22 March 2013). However, you can have the best of both worlds. If you create a cat run you will allow your cat to spend time outdoors without endangering precious wildlife. To drastically reduce the number of birds and small native animals killed by a cat, the owner can also purchase a ‘cat-scrunchie’ the cat looks smart and more birds and animals get to live longer. Maggie Burke, Roleystone.

On behalf of the Leukaemia Foundation, I would like to thank the WA community for their active participation and support of the World’s Greatest Shave 2015. Every week, twenty-three Western Australians are diagnosed with a blood cancer or a related blood disorder. As the Leukaemia Foundation receives no ongoing government funding, the support of the public will help meet the increasing demand for our support services. Each year, the Foundation supports thousands of people and their families by providing practical services at no cost. These services include; information, practical assistance, emotional support, transport and accommodation for regional families required to relocate closer to metropolitan treatment centres. We also invest millions of dollars each year into vital research to improve treatments and find cures for blood cancer. Thanks to all of our supporters, we have raised over $2 million in WA and continue to strive to reach our target of $2.9 million. There is still time for people to sign up or make a donation at www.worldsgreatestshave. com. On behalf of all those diagnosed and their families who will be supported as a direct result of your support of the World’s Greatest Shave, thank you. Andrew York, General Manager WA Leukaemia Foundation.

CHANGING YOUR SMOKE ALARM BATTERY Have you checked your smoke alarm recently? Does it need a new battery? If so, changing your battery will depend on what type of smoke alarm you have. Smoke alarms powered by 9V alkaline batteries require battery replacements every year, while smoke alarms powered by a 10-year non-removable lithium battery do not require replacements. Do not try to remove these batteries. Mains powered (hard wired) smoke alarms are powered by an external power source. These alarms also have a battery back-up for periods of mains power outage. Many models have a rechargeable (non-removable) battery and do not need replacement. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to see if you need to change the battery. Smoke alarms will make a ‘beep’ or ‘chirping’ sound when they have a low battery or are faulty. Mains powered smoke alarms may also make this low battery warning after periods of extended mains power outage. If this happens and your smoke alarm has a replaceable battery, you will need to change your battery. Smoke alarms with a non-replaceable battery may have a warning that the battery is not replaceable. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions before replacing the battery. Mains powered smoke alarms are required to have a green ‘Power On’ LED indicator that lights up when the alarm is connected to mains power. All smoke alarms have a red light that flashes momentarily every 40-60 seconds to visually indicate they are operating.
This same red light flashes continuously when the smoke alarm has been activated. If there are interconnected smoke alarms the fast flashing red light will indicate which smoke alarm initiated the alarm. Always test that your smoke alarm is operating after replacing the battery by holding down the test button until you hear a loud alert tone. All smoke alarms require regular maintenance and should be replaced every 10 years. It is important to remember that only working smoke alarms save lives. In the event of a fire, crawl low under smoke and only assist or alert other people in danger if it is safe to do so. Go to your safe meeting place, such as your letterbox. Call 000 and wait for fire fighters to arrive. Do not re-enter a burning house under any circumstance. For more information visit www.dfes. wa.gov.au or contact DFES Community Engagement on 9395 9816.

Patsy Cline fans are in for a treat when Moira J Scott performs the songs of this country music great at the Don Russell Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday 24 June. Since discovering Patsy Cline’s songs as an 18-year-old, this expatriate Englishwoman has performed them in a variety of folk and country music bands. Scott has made several trips to Nashville, Tennessee, to see where Cline lived, grew up and performed. She uses this experience to give a true-to-life portrayal of Cline in her shows. You will hear songs like Tennessee Waltz, Back in Baby’s Arms and I Fall to Pieces. “Once again, the Don Russell Performing Arts Centre has secured a world-class show as part of the Morning Melodies series,” said City of Gosnells Mayor Dave Griffiths. “The music of Patsy Cline is timeless and Moira J Scott’s interpretation is sure to transport everyone who hears it straight to Nashville.” Sweet Dreams is on Wednesday 24 June. Morning Melodies includes morning tea at 10.15am with performances at 11am. For bookings or more information call the Box Office on 9493 4577. Ref: www.gosnells.wa.gov.au.

The Leukaemia Foundation recently launched its ‘Blood cancer can affect anyone, at any time’ campaign, raising awareness of the impact of blood cancer in the WA community. Every week twenty-three Western Australians are diagnosed with a blood cancer or a related blood disorder, contributing significantly to the national statistic of 12,000 Australians projected to be diagnosed this year. “Blood cancer does not discriminate. It affects males and females of all ages and with few clearly identified risk factors, it sometimes comes with no real warning. When someone is diagnosed, the impact is felt by the person and their loved ones. It is during these difficult times that people can turn to the Leukaemia Foundation for support,” said Andrew York, General Manager of the Leukaemia Foundation in WA. As the Leukaemia Foundation receives, no ongoing government funding it relies on the community and corporate sector to help fund the comprehensive range of services provided to people with blood cancer and their families. The services include information, education, financial and emotional support as well as transport to and from treatment. There is also accommodation available to those
• All Makes Servicing/Diagnostics • Cooling System Repairs • Exhaust Replacement/Repairs • Shock Absorbers • Starter Motors/Alternators • Brake Repairs • Free Quotations • 24 Years Experience
who need to relocate from regional areas to Perth for treatment. With the support of an independent panel of researchers and clinicians, the Leukaemia Foundation also invests millions of dollars every year in the best Australian blood cancer research. “It is a common misconception that the Leukaemia Foundation only supports people with leukaemia. However, we support people diagnosed with all blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders. Our broad range of services can be accessed by anyone impacted by a diagnosis in the community. “Through our new awareness campaign, we are hoping to educate the WA community about the impact for blood cancer and the Foundation can assist families, whether they are in Perth or living regionally,” said Andrew York. While decades of research have improved survival, sadly not everyone survives. Blood cancer is the third biggest cancer killer in Australia and claims more lives than more well-known cancers like breast cancer and melanoma. To find out more about the Leukaemia Foundation’s free blood cancer support services visit www.leukaemia.org.au or call 1800 620 420.

Meet James. He recently celebrated his 6th Birthday but instead of keeping the wonderful presents he received from his family and friends, he decided to donate them to the Comfort Bag Program. This is the third consecutive year James has donated his birthday presents. The Comfort Bags are given to children in crisis who are removed from their homes and families, often without the opportunity to take any personal possessions with them. Each bag is individually prepared for a specific age and gender and filled with items such as pyjamas, underwear, toiletries, a book and teddy bear. The bags provide these
children some comforting items to help them through an exceptionally tough period in their life. To date the program has provided Comfort Bags to almost a thousand children across WA. If you would like to help the Comfort Bag Program, Constable Care are currently accepting donations of new items such as toiletries, pyjamas, books and towels. Donations can be dropped off at the Constable Care office, 48 Sixth Avenue Maylands, during office hours. Ref: www.facebook.com/ WA.Police?fref=photo. Published on 30th April, 2015.

As the world’s bee population continues to decline, local Roleystone residents Helen and Peter Bali have been doing their bit to ensure the delicious taste of honey lives on. Peter and Helen took an interest in honey after discovering a bee hive in their garden compost unit. When they started smelling honey from the hive, Peter, a former boilermaker, decided to build a hive and collect the honey. Since then, his passion has turned into a hobby and Peter now produces and sells his delicious honey, bees wax candles, and lip balm from home and in selected shops around Perth. Depending on the time of the year, Peter specialises in Marri Red Gum Honey, Jarrah Honey, and Wild Bush Honey. He has been working with bees for just over two years now, and in that time Peter has enjoyed learning about their social structure, behaviour, and diligent work ethic. “It takes 12 bees their whole life of just 6 weeks to create a single teaspoon of honey,” said Peter. “It really makes you appreciate just the tiniest amount of honey.” The Western Australian Apiarists Society recently held their annual honey tasting competition in March. There were 42 entrants, and after passing judgement on aroma, colour, clarity, taste, and viscosity, Peter’s Marri Red Gum Honey (under
Helen’s name) was awarded a well-deserved first place with a brilliant score of 85.8. “It just shows how lucky we are to have Marri trees in Roleystone that allow our bees to make delicious honey,” said Peter. Honey also has a range of health benefits. There are at least 181 different compounds in honey, and four of them naringenin, pinocembrin, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and chrysin - have antioxidant and germ fighting properties (Challem 2011). Peter is passionate about the short term and long term benefits of keeping bees. Not only do they create honey with nectar collected from flowers, they also play an extremely important role in the maintenance of a healthy, functioning environment and eco system. This is because bees are responsible for the pollination of
plants whereby pollen is transferred from the anther (male part) to the stigma (female part) of the plant. Unfortunately, bees are disappearing at alarming rates in many parts of the world. With bees accounting for over a third of all food production in the United States, scientists have been urgently trying to find out why up to 30 per cent of the American honey bee population has died. Known as colony collapse disorder, it is believed that the sudden disappearance of swarms of bees is caused by combination of pesticides, insecticides, parasites, and malnutrition. Without pollination, plants would not be fertilised and therefore be unable to reproduce. This would have a disastrous effect on the biodiversity of the planet, as our main sources of food, such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, would stop growing. The human race

would not survive in a world without bees. As Albert Einstein once said, “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man”. “Everyone can help the local bees by simply planting bee friendly plants like Grevillea, Bottlebrush, Lavender, and Salvia Sunflowers,” said Peter. The Valley Reporter would like to congratulate the Bali’s on their wonderful achievement.

Good Shepherd recently celebrated its Feast Day. Free dress was the order of the day with staff, students and parents wearing our school colours of red, white and blue. We began the day with a beautiful Mass at Good Shepherd Church and returned to a morning filled with fun activities to help us learn more about Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Highlights were the sausage sizzle lunch on the oval and the afternoon session of tabloid sports such as egg and spoon races, tug o’ war and three legged races. It was a special day for the children, made all the more special by so many parents joining us for Mass, class activities, the picnic lunch and our fun sports afternoon.

Nearly 2 years ago, I was asked to visit a dog at home for possible treatment with acupuncture. At the time, Spencer was a 6-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback with Wobblers Syndrome. He had been diagnosed and treated medically at a local veterinary clinic, but his owners were aware that alternative treatment options, including surgery and acupuncture, are available. They sought my assistance to assess and treat Spencer at home. Wobblers Syndrome is a severe condition in which there is compression of the spinal cord in the neck region, usually in middle-aged large breed dogs, causing a lack of coordination in the back legs. Spencer had the usual symptoms of wobbly gait and neck pain, as well as weakness in his limbs, with difficulty getting up and down and moving around in general. The condition had progressed to involve his front legs as well. It was very confronting for Spencer’s owners to see such a distressing physical state for their beloved special pet. The first consultation involved a physical examination of the

Former Armadale resident in Australian stage classic with compelling love story With Friends and Twelve Angry Men. He’s won a variety of best actor awards and co-directed the Australian wedding farce Dimboola and WA premiere of The Eight: Reindeer Monologues. “Summer of the Seventeenth Doll appealed because it was groundbreaking in its day with Australian life being shown as real, with barmaids and pubs, for the first time,” Barnett said. “It’s actually been described as Australia’s ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ with its mix of romantic dreams and fragility combined with harsh truths and gritty realism.” Director Trevor Dhu likens the play to fly-in, fly-out workers and the women they meet when they return home, as they try to continue a relationship over an extended period of time. “The relationships are stretched by time and the untimely weakness of growing older and making a commitment too late between a man and a woman,” he said. “The ending is not what the lovers intend and the comforts of friendships and homeliness are destroyed.” “It’s a classic, but events like this from the past are still real today,” he said. “There are FIFO widows and plenty of stories of people who had it all and blew it. We always do the right thing but it’s too late.” Summer of the Seventeenth Doll plays at 8pm June 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 20 with a 2pm matinee June 14. Tickets are $25, $20 concession – book at http://oldmilltheatre.com.au/tickets or on 9367 8719. It is the third show in a year of all-Australian plays at the Old Mill Theatre to commemorate the centenary of the Gallipoli landing in 2015. The heritagelisted Old Mill Theatre is on the corner of Mends Street and Mill Point Road, South Perth (opposite the Windsor Hotel and Australia Post).

Former Armadale (Strawberry Fields) resident Phil Barnett is taking to the stage this June in an Australian play from the 1950s, highlighting parallels with today’s fly-in, fly-out workers. Written by Ray Lawler and directed by Trevor Dhu at the Old Mild Theatre, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is considered by literary scholars to be the most significant in Australian theatre history because it provided a turning point where distinctly Australian life and characters were openly and authentically portrayed. Two itinerant cane cutters, Barney and Roo (played by Barnett), have spent the past 16 summers off with two ladies in Melbourne. Every year, Roo has brought a tinsel doll to his girl Olive, as a gift to symbolise their relationship – but this 17th summer is different somehow. All four lovers come to face certain unpleasant truths about themselves in what is described as an unusual, compelling love story, hailed by critics in New York for its vigour and integrity. “Roo is a 41-year-old cane cutter who can no longer compete with the younger men,” Barnett said. “To be able to appreciate the tensions within the play, you need to understand the social conditions of the 1950s, such as the gender roles, attitudes towards sexual morality and traditional notions of Australian identity. “There’s a parallel between the decline of Roo’s physical powers and, given the time period, the passing of Australia’s youth.” No stranger to the stage, Barnett has performed in many productions over the years for Canning College, Playlovers, Harbour, Melville, Blak Yak, Old Mill, KADS and Groovy Boots Theatres with roles in He Died with a Felafel in His Hand, MissPerth23, The Beast and The Beauty, Don’s Party, Breaker Morant, Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, No Exit, Oliver Twist, Dinner

The City of Armadale is joining with other Council’s in expressing dismay at the Federal Government’s decision to freeze the level of Financial Assistance Grants to Council’s across Australia. The City of Armadale has received more than $3 million in funds from the Australian Government’s Financial Assistance Grant program in the 2014/15 financial year, which represents 4.3% of Council’s total revenue. “The funding is provided to local governments across the nation and allows us to allocate funds towards local priorities and assist with annual municipal funding,” said Armadale CEO Ray Tame. “The Federal Government collects 80 per cent of the nation’s taxes, and then distributed portions to State and Your Agent: Local Governments.

Art Flourishes in City’s Community Garden
DIEBACK TREATMENT SPECIALISTS Inc – runs monthly busy bees and socials at the garden. New members are always welcome. The garden began two years ago to bring residents together to grow produce, learn new skills and meet like-minded people. Plots are available for community groups, families and individuals to plant and harvest their own produce. The Southern River Community Garden is at the rear of Southern River College on Anaconda Drive, Gosnells and is a partnership between the City of Gosnells, Southern River College and the community. For more information contact the Community Development team on 9397 3123. Ref: www.gosnells.wa.gov.au. Published on Friday 8 May, 2015.
Double D, Double M? About a year ago I found a lump where there shouldn’t be one. Since my mum passed away 10 years after finding a lump, I did the only sensible thing… I panicked. Within days I was having ultrasounds and mammograms. Although no one thought much of the first lump, they managed to find other things to biopsy. The ultrasound biopsies (two or so) weren’t so bad, but the mammogram ones (ten or so) were a little trying. I was particularly bothered when I felt the local anaesthetic running down my side (isn’t it meant to be injected inside, not washed over the top?) but since I was in a tight spot, I was not going to aggravate the lady with the harpoon. When they said they would check they had accurate biopsies - and that I may need more - my subconscious came to the rescue and managed to get me one meter away as I fainted to the floor where the machine could not reach. I liked the way they asked if I was alright? Yes, thank you, the floor looks clean and has carpet, but if you really want to improve your customer service it could be softer with some wine and chocolates… I ended up being okay in the end, but it gets you thinking.
According to the UK cancer website (www.cancerresearchuk.org) where they have analysed risk factors, I have done myself a favour by having kids (7% reduced risk per child) and breast-feeding them (4% reduced risk per year). However, I had them late (increased risk 3% per year after a certain age) and I am a former smoker (increased 9%, as opposed to 12% if you are a current smoker). I do well by exercising (reduced risk 5%), but again let myself down by (occasionally) drinking (5% higher risk for one standard drink per day). All up I came in about even… However, since the genes for my family are not identified and there are no conclusions on what chemical residues may pose a risk (there are so many variables), I cannot conclude I am safe. In the end, a way forward may be the big double M. As scary and expensive as it may be, I would prefer to be around for longer and so we’ve started looking into the skin and nipple saving mastectomy options. I can update everyone sometime when I learn more. In memory of mum and Flic (1976-2015). Caroline Wielinga.

Something new is growing in the City of Gosnells’ Southern River Community Garden. The garden now sports brightly painted wooden bunting and quirky veggie faces thanks to the inspiration of artist Charlotte O’Shea and local residents, who created the unique pieces as part of art workshops at the City’s recent Homegrown Festival. City of Gosnells Mayor Dave Griffiths said the new artworks showcased the talents of the local community and showed how creativity could flourish under the right conditions. “These artworks are a fun and colourful addition to the Community Garden – it’s great for those already involved in the garden, as well as something for passersby to enjoy,” Mayor Griffiths added. The Southern River Community Garden has many other exciting activities underway with the planting and harvesting of communal garden beds, establishment of a worm farm and the construction of a gazebo for meetings and socials. Now is a great time to get involved. A committee of volunteers – the Southern River Community Garden

If you would like to meditate, reduce stress or anxiety and find greater levels of calm and peace, you are welcome to join the Armadale Meditation Group, which recently celebrated its 28th birthday. Since 1987, we have taught people how to meditate in a relaxed environment where you don’t have to sit cross-legged on the floor – chairs are provided and it is completely free. The group meets every Tuesday evening throughout the year from 7.00pm to 8.40pm at the Community Health Building, Armadale Health Campus. Doors are locked after 7.00pm and late arrivals are not usually admitted. The Buddhist Society of Western Australia runs our group. Around 50 people from all backgrounds attend, including men and women, young and old, Christian, Atheist and Buddhist. Several people attend after being referred for health reasons including stress. Monks from the Bodhinyana Buddhist Monastery in Serpentine are our main teachers for nine months of the year. For the other three months, (usually mid-July to mid-October), we have a collection of other Buddhist lay people teaching, and run a special four week beginner’s meditation course. Ajahn Brahm is the head Buddhist at Bodhinyana Buddhist Monastery who regularly visits the Armadale Meditation Group. Born Peter Betts in London, United Kingdom in 1951, he came from a working-class background, and won a scholarship to study Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University in the late 1960s. At Cambridge he joined the university’s Buddhist Society
and after a few weeks at the age of 18, he saw a monk for the first time. He knew then that was what he wanted to be. After graduating from Cambridge he taught in a school for one year before travelling to Thailand to become a monk and train with the Venerable Ajahn Chah Bodhinyana Mahathera. After practising for nine years as a monk, he was sent to Perth by Ajahn Chah in 1983. Since then, Ajahn Brahm has travelled the world, sharing his knowledge, wisdom and understanding of Buddhism with many audiences. Last month, a Korean film crew accompanied Ajahn Brahm and filmed his work in Perth for a television show to be aired in Korea. The Armadale Meditation Group is very fortunate to have Ajahn Brahm speak with us approximately once a month.
Korean film crew with ajahn brahm
If you would like to join the group and learn more about Buddhist meditation, the Community Health Building is easy to find. Go in the Armadale Health Campus entrance off Albany Highway. Once through the gates, turn immediately right. Community Health is the first small brick building immediately on the right. Go in through the main doors and turn left, there will be someone there to greet you. There is free car parking, in a welllit car park, right outside. Please take off your shoes before entering the room but otherwise it is a normal seminar room. There is no need to bring anything. You do not need to book in, just turn up by 6.50pm. For more information, please visit www. dhammaloka.org.au/armadale-group. html or email armadale@bswa.org. Rachel Green, Coordinator.

Robin Road Old Primary School Site As part of the rezoning of the site, a new development proposal requires a “detailed area plan” to be submitted and approved by the City. As there is some interest in this site, some Councillors have expressed interest in this plan to be shown to Councillors/ Council and so a request has been made to formalise this. If brought before Council it will be publicly available to residents as part of the normal development services Women’s Health and Wellbeing Services (WHWS) is an organisation supporting all women within the South East Metro area of Perth. They promote the overall wellbeing, self-esteem, independence, self-responsibility and health awareness of women in our community. Women’s Health and Wellbeing Services run events throughout the year. Mad Tea Party Don’t be late for this very important date! The WHWS Madhatters Tea Party for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea takes place on Monday 25 May from 10.00am to 11.00am at the Gosnells Community Lotteries House. Slip down the rabbit hole into a fantasy morning tea inspired by Alice in Wonderland in support of the Cancer Council. Don’t forget to wear your maddest hat! The cost is $15.00 per person. Love Languages There are five different ways that people show and understand love. Come along to our workshop and find out your love language, what it means, and how you can use it to connect with your partner or significant people in your life. As children also express and receive love in different ways, this workshop will also help you discover your child’s love language. Men are welcome to attend – don’t just tell
committee agenda and residents would be able to make comments if they wished. Community Garden and Men’s Shed Meetings have progressed to relocate the community garden and men’s shed to Cross Park. Issues centred on size, location and the Park’s amenity have been discussed and a report to Council is expected next month. For the community garden and men’s shed group’s to apply for Lottery West funding for a building to be placed on Council land, there will need to be a lease agreement for the land first. The sooner this is completed the sooner grant funding can be sought. School Chaplaincy funding The City has in the past assisted the YouthCare chaplaincy provider in the City of Armadale with $18.5K/year. With the Federal reduction in funding being made up with the State funding it was unclear whether the City should continue this funding and debate resulted in the request for a further report with more information on specifically which schools require assistance. Roleystone Community College chaplaincy currently runs full time with the extra support of the P&C. Disclaimer: These are the views and understanding of Cr Wielinga. For specific details please contact the City of Armadale.

Former Roleystone Theatre performer Oliver Kaiser is involved in something controversial, shocking and utterly riveting – Sir Peter Shaffer’s Tony Awardwinning Equus, coming to Melville Theatre in May. Directed by Lars Jensen, the play is a psychological thriller about a young man who, after blinding six horses, sets his psychiatrist the task of discovering the reasons behind his actions. Equus is based on a true incident told to Shaffer in a pub and examines the complex and bewildering nature of the human psyche, as the psychiatrist struggles to release the young man from his excruciating psychological torment. Originally staged in 1973, the play was adapted into a 1977 film with Richard Burton and revived for the West End and Broadway in 2007 with Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe in the lead role. Kaiser plays the young man, Alan Strang. “He’s a very intricate character and has many personal issues,” he said. “Alan has done some horrible things in his life, although I think he’s actually a very intelligent young man of 17. “He has strained relationships with pretty much everyone except the horses, which is where he finds his comfort. “Equus is by far the most challenging piece I have ever tackled.” Involved in theatre for the past nine years, Kaiser spent his school life performing with Redfoot Youth Theatre and most recently appeared in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory at Roleystone Theatre, scoring an adjudicator’s certificate at the annual Finley Awards for his role as the narrator. He was attracted to Equus because of its intensity. “In high school, a friend of mine did a monologue from Equus for his assessment and that really got me into the play,” Kaiser said. Director Lars Jensen says Equus

The Roleystone Netball Club began the 2015 season at the Ray Owen Sports Complex in Lesmurdie on the 2nd of May. With 25 teams, Roleystone performed magnificently and won 20 out of 25 games (plus one draw) with everyone having something to smile about. With lots of new players to the club this season, many teams have girls playing netball for the first time, and winning so many games is a remarkable achievement. As an incentive to pay fees on time, the club offered 2 tickets to The Fever’s next home game. The lucky winner of these tickets was Paige Davis from Roley Peach, pictured front and centre surrounded by her teammates and coach Tina Willock. She is a deserving winner. This year has seen many changes to the running of KDNA and one such change is to the umpiring program. The ‘Junior Umpire Mentor Program’ is now called ‘The National Umpire Program’. The first session was held on May 9th and saw the largest group of Roley girls ever to participate. Fresh out of the 2014 Junior Umpire Mentor Program, Zara has been on court with her whistle in one hand and her umpiring rulebook in the other since the start of the season. Good luck to Zara, the girls going for their C Badges, and all the new umpiring recruits. With the KDNA
carnivals coming up it’s time to think about putting a team together and registering. More information is in your Team Pack. The date for 13 years and over is June 28th and the date for 12 years and under is July 26th, 2015. Please direct any enquiries to our Registrar/ Secretary, Sharlene Warnes, at roleystonenetball@hotmail.com. For uniforms, please contact Megan Poultney on 0413 140 810 or at megsip1976@outlook.com.

Roleystone Women’s Hockey Club opened the season with our Green team winning 5-0 over Ranges and our Red team losing 5-0 to Mundaring. Both games were ferociously played and the score in the Red game did not reflect the game played. Alma Davies, Natasha Humphrey, and Sue Schryver scored goals for the Green team while new players such as Shae Hughes made their debut for the club.

Planting native species is a great way to help preserve the environment while also saving water, and the Shire of Kalamunda encourages residents to make the most of this year’s free Plants for Residents Program on Sunday 7 June 2015. Held each winter at the beginning of June, the Shire gives away free native seedlings to all residents. The aim is to promote the revegetation of residential and rural properties with local trees, shrubs and ground covers, all requiring less water and maintenance while providing environmentally-friendly habitats for local wildlife. This year Plants for Residents will be held from 9:00am – 3:00pm at the Gooseberry Hill Hall, 42 Ledger Road in Gooseberry Hill. Plants are allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis and residents will be allocated plants according to property size. CEO Rhonda Hardy said, “Plants for Residents is a very popular community service offered by the Shire, with over 10,000 plants available in 2015.” “Over 40 different species are available to choose from, including some annual favourites such as local wattle trees, banksias, kangaroo paws
and bottle brush.” “The programme gives residents the opportunity to obtain free native plants of their choice which are water wise, can withstand the regions climatic conditions, help fight weed invasion and, most importantly, provide homes for native fauna.” “Bushfire preparation and safety information will be available on the day for interested residents.” “The Shire will also be giving away two free strawberry plants to each family, while they last, in support of the Shire’s Community Health and Wellbeing Plan.” Residents must bring photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, a current Shire of Kalamunda Rates Notice to verify address and a container to carry plants. Residential lots up to 2000m2 are eligible for 10 plants, lots of 2000 4000m2 can choose up to 15 plants and lots greater than 4000m2 are welcome to select up to 20 plants.

Shihan Tomiyama’s Annual Visit The Roleystone Dojo was lucky to have Shihan Tomiyama (Kofukan Karate International’s most senior instructor) visit our Dojo on the 12th of May for his annual visit. Shihan travels the world sharing his expertise with Kofukan students throughout the year. The Roleystone Dojo performed Kihon Ippon Kumite, which translates to ‘one technique sparring’ and was focused on the fundamental principle of performing the technique

at the same time (‘Ichi boroshi’). Along with Shihan’s guidance and the help of other senior instructors within the Dojo and Association, students were able to practice this concept in partners. Whilst Shihan’s visit to our Dojo was short, we all took something away to continue to work on and apply to other areas of our karate. Shihan left us with a closing remark to remember to “practice properly all the time”. Sensei Brooke Williams.
YEAH NOIR! MUNDARING RESIDENT IN STAGE VERSION OF 1959 COMEDY HORROR FILM

Mundaring resident Kate Lloyd is helping to re-create a classic cult movie from the late 1950s as a stage production this May and June. Presented by Dark Psychic Productions at Phoenix Theatre, the 1959 comedy horror film A Bucket of Blood has been adapted for the stage by Mitch Brian as The Temperamental Artist. It follows Walter Paisley, a bus boy at a beatnik café, who dreams of being an artist. After accidentally killing his landlady’s cat, he covers it with clay and passes it off as sculpture and suddenly finds himself an overnight success. Walter feels the pressure to produce more work and, as the police close in and the murders escalate, he zeroes in on the girl he loves, determined to make her his wife – or next sculpture. Lloyd plays Mrs Hughes, someone she describes as “a lady of class”. “She relies heavily upon the large bank account of her husband,” she said. “The main challenge is interacting with a vast variety of characters in the play but I believe that will also be the most fun.” Performing since 2013, Lloyd has mainly appeared in shows with Phoenix Theatre and Dark Psychic Productions including The Brain From Planet X, Cosi and Maul of the Dead. “The Temperamental Artist is an unusual play that encourages one to play morals against monetary gain,” she said. “The noir style and theme I found to be the most attractive aspect.” Director Shaun Griffin said the show has a Sweeney Todd - Little Shop of Horrors feel with a film noir effect, which he calls “stage noir”. “That may be something of a challenge for me, as well as the fact the script is set out for film rather than stage,” he said. “This is also the first full-length show I’ve directed predominantly on my own, although I have an assistant director.” The Temperamental Artist plays at 8pm May 28, 29, 30, June 4 and 5 with 2pm matinees May 31 and June 6. Tickets are $20, $18 concession plus transaction fees – book at www.phoenixtheatreinc. com.au or on 0422 394 749. Raffle and program sales go to the Autism Association of WA. Please note: the show contains adult themes, stylised violence and haze and flashing lighting effects. Phoenix Theatre is located at 435 Carrington Street, Hamilton Hill, within the Hamilton Hill Memorial Hall. Photograph courtesy of Sally Newman.

testimonial
When I invited Maggie Burke Real Estate to handle the sale of my house, I could not have imagined the surprises that were in store for me. In the first instance, Maggie saw my house as a “home” rather than a property that could be turned to profit. This formed the basis of the marketing plan. In the second instance, I was introduced to all the members of the team. Instantly I knew everyone was on the same page. In the third instance, Maggie and her team helped me realise my home’s potential - I was more than impressed. In the fourth instance, at no time was I ever left wondering how the sale of my home was progressing. Maggie’s team kept me up to date every step of the way - even after I had taken up residence in the UK!

As a long time resident of Roleystone, I had often seen Testimonials for Maggie Burke Real Estate, and I am naturally wary of such. However, I’m truly happy that a good friend of mine recommended Maggie and her team. I felt safe and nothing could have been easier! Bob Webb (formerly of Roleystone)
