Editorial
YOUR Region. YOUR Magazine. YOUR Valley Reporter. Fiona Newland – EDITOR/PUBLISHER Firstly, I would just like to highlight the great people within our community who are essential to the successful production and delivery of The Valley Reporter to you each month. Log on to The Valley Reporter website and you’ll be able to see The Valley Reporter Team on the ‘About Us’ page. You might already know someone within the team! Thanks to the Drewry family’s initial enquiries last month, The Valley Reporter will start deliveries to 130 homes in a small part of Mt Nasura for the very first time. This development brings The Valley Reporter’s letterbox delivery total to a whopping 3547 copies every month! For added convenience, you can pick up a copy of The Valley Reporter at 54 local (and very convenient) other locations. That’s another 453 copies getting out there every month! This month’s issue is jammed packed with a variety of articles, proving once again that this publication is truly “your Region, your Magazine, your Valley Reporter”, so please keep the interesting articles and photographs coming. A local resident was so touched by a previous Valley Reporter article “Preparing to Say Goodbye to My Dog” by Dr. Judith Congrene, that
they felt compelled to tell their own story too. Turn to page 16 to find out how they found themselves in the same difficult situation. Personally I found the article to be very touching and I very much appreciate Mike and Cyn Shord for responding. One bold and very brave local resident has completed her World’s Greatest Shave challenge, with all the funds raised from the shave going to the Leukemia Foundation. Thank you to Joanne Hunter for inviting The Valley Reporter along to capture her special moment. On the day a large group of residents from the Seaforth Gardens Hostel joined her to show their support (see page 20). The City of Armadale has had their official opening of their Youth Skatepark and Activity Area, which The Valley Reporter got some great photographs of for you to enjoy (see page 28). This development has only increased support and demand for our own local skatepark to come of age, which is slowly but steadily approaching reality. A follow-up workshop took place with the interested young people and a Convic Designs consultant on Thursday 23 February. A slideshow of the draft concept was presented, to an overwhelming response
from the kids. From here, following the submission of the final Convic Designs’ report and plan, the City will then prepare a report for Council on the preferred design and location of the skatepark at Cross Park. To the youngsters of Roleystone, all this just proves that we are getting that little bit closer to having a first-rate skatepark of our own. Check out the draft concept photographs on page 23. Lastly, in this month’s Valley Reporter, there is an unique calibre of news about our youth achieving some pretty amazing things. The Fit2Cheers Swans is just one such group achieving victory on their recent USA Tour. They had some very difficult financial hurdles to overcome just in order to compete, but within just 3 months, the team managed to raise a staggering $34,000 in fund raising and sponsorship to help them get on their way. Their achievement was further spurred on by the valuable support of our local businesses. Read the full story on page 10.

had been on my side of the car, and had she not stopped, it would have been me who felt the sickening bump as the tyre beneath my passenger seat rolled over her. It seems that this time, everyone who could have been affected by this has been dealt a lucky hand. Next time, we may not be so fortunate. I obviously felt a huge sense of relief that no one was hurt, but more than anything I felt a great deal of frustration that the situation came so close to tragedy.

One of the kindest, smartest and most decent people I have ever known passed away on the morning of February 21, in a cherry-picker accident in South Perth. I have had the honour and pleasure of working with him on and off for 23 years, watching him take the people of Perth to new heights for almost three decades. He loved his job, took pride in what he did, and was the safest cherry-picker operator in Perth. Without a doubt or exception, he held safety above all else. This is a warning to all large plant operators in Perth, even the best can fall victim to tragedy. Please check and re-check your plant and operating procedures. Rest in peace my friend, until we meet again. Phil Barnett, East Victoria Park.

In mid-February my Dad and I were driving home to Roleystone on Armadale Road when we came to what you could call a “crossroads of fate”. My Dad is a capable and experienced driver, who was traveling at the speed limit, and yet we almost had a head-on collision with disaster because of a parent’s negligence and a child’s ignorance. Just before the railway and the Armadale Shopping Centre, my Dad and I spotted three very young children playing alongside the road we were driving on, which it’s safe to say is a very busy street. As we got closer, we were both shocked to see one of the children, a little girl, suddenly start gliding on her scooter from the path and up to the curb. She looked as though she was about to roll out onto the open road, right in front of our car, and for a single terrifying moment I thought we were going to run her over. Even if my Dad had put on the brake or swerved as soon as he saw her, it would have been an inevitable collision. Luckily, at the last second, she stopped right at the edge of the curb as we drove past. I don’t know if it was because I had watched the paranoia-inducing movie “The Adjustment Bureau” the night just before, but that moment on the road really made me think about how a small intervention by what we call fate or chance made such a huge difference to the lives of those children and the drivers on Armadale Road. The what-if’s and maybe’s that flashed through my mind as we continued on our way home were horrifying to consider, and made so much scarier by the fact that they had come so close to being an unchangeable reality. If that little girl hadn’t decided in that last split-second to stop her scooter, there would have been nothing anyone could have done to have stopped my Dad’s car from instantly crushing her little body on the bitumen. If she had continued gliding for a few seconds more, right now she would be dead, her parents would be devastated, my Dad would be guilt-ridden, (and probably facing a jail sentence for manslaughter) and I would be psychologically traumatised.

On Sunday 18 March, Araluen Botanic Park in Roleystone hosted the Austin Seven Club of WA’s public display of their legendary cars. The display was open for public viewing from noon until 2pm, with only normal Park entry fees applying. The Austin 7, often called the “Baby Austin”, was produced from the early 1920’s to the late 1930’s, and was one of the most popular cars made in the British market. The very first BMW car was in fact a licensed Austin 7! The Austin 7 design was used as the basis for many more popular cars all the way into the late 1950’s.The Central Concourse area of Araluen was just the perfect setting for this event, where these enthusiasts’ vehicles were enjoyed in the pleasant natural environment provided by Araluen’s unique setting. The Park features a mild microclimate, running creeks and stunning gardens that all combine to enhance the viewing experience
of what was mostly definitely an impressive collection of meticulously prepared Austin 7 models. The Araluen Botanic Park Foundation is delighted to announce the launch of its new website located at www.araluenbotanicpark.com.au. ‘While retaining the same web address as the previous site, the new version has been developed to be more responsive to visitor needs,’ says ABPF General Manager, Rod Ross. ‘It has also adopted the fresh contemporary feel and style consistent with the recently produced Park brochure and conveys the new Heaven in the Hills branding,’ he adds. The new site includes an image gallery that is segmented into history, gardens, weddings, shopping and events. It also provides a comprehensive separate page and blog for the popular annual Araluen’s Fremantle Chilli Festival.

It protects your hair against humidity, effectively eliminating frizz and giving a smooth and natural look without using aggressive chemicals. This is a revolutionary treatment formulated with exclusive Cashmere Keratin that reconstructs deep down, rejuvenating damaged hair, doing away with frizziness, reducing volume over the long term, and giving you smooth, tamed and silky hair for the next three months. Nashi Pure Keratin is safe, natural and eco-friendly,

NASHI PURE
containing no chemicals like formaldehyde, it’s by-products, Parabens or aggressive chemicals and sulphates. It is a new innovative, effective and long lasting treatment that contains certified hydrolised keratin instead of a keratin derivative. Nashi’s Pure Keratin comes from cashmere, so the quality is more refined. Cashmere bioliss complex is a special protein complex (100% natural) which crystalises keratin at high temperatures, making it insoluble and locking it permanently into the hair. This restructures the hair and reduces frizziness. Nashi Pure Keratin natural smoothing therapy respects the environment by using a selection of biodegradable raw materials not derived from petroleum. Packaging is from 100% post consumer recycled plastic, 100% recycled paper and even the energy used to manufacture is 100% energy from renewable sources such as wind, solar and water. The product will make your hair easily manageable and reduce volume, but it is not designed to straighten curly hair. The effects will last for three months. It enables you, the client, to decide day to day how you will wear your hair. You can come in for a complimentary consultation and quote, which is recommended since the cost will depend on how much the hair needs treating. Nashi Pure Keratin is exclusively available to you at Billy Shears The Hair Club, which has been promoting and teaching the technical side of this product to hairdressers in Australia, call 9397 9219 for some expert free advice.

Thank you Maggie Burke! Our home sold in 6 weeks in a “down” market. Couldn’t have asked for any more. Your communication was excellent. You constantly kept us up to date with the progress on the property and I felt informed at all times. I’m sure your enthusiasm for the task was a major factor in the early sale of the property. I would also like to commend both you and your staff on your professionalism. Absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others.

On Wednesday 7 March some workshops were run by the Small Business Development Corporation and the City of Armadale at the Manse Restaurant. Tourism Boost is a workshop program designed to give your tourism business the competitive edge that will boost your sales. In 2011 there were 26 Tourism Boost workshops conducted all over Western Australia. The workshops received rave reviews from local businesses and industry professionals. The workshop is divided into three sessions, so you can attend all of them, or just the one that best suits your business needs. The workshops cover the three most important topics necessary to make major improvements in your tourism business: Understanding the Tourism Industry This session is for new and existing small business operators and their employees. You can find out more about distribution channels, commission structures, tourism accreditation, specialised tourism industry research, and who does what and why. This is an ideal opportunity to give your business a head start in navigating your way around the tourism industry. How to Make Your Business Stand Out From the Crowd Whether you’ve been in the industry for a while, or are new to tourism, this practical session will help you boost your business. You will learn how to work collaboratively to package and market
your business and get tips on how to sell your business in two minutes. We’ll also show you how to ensure your brochure leaps off the rack and how to write a winning media release. Succeeding Online This workshop will show you how to make your website extraordinary, and how to successfully promote it. Most consumers now search online for travel options, so if you’re not well represented in this space you’re lagging behind. We’ll also show you how to market your business on a budget. The Tourism Boost presenter at the Manse workshops was Kym Francesconi, a 15year veteran of the WA tourism industry who has been on the WA Tourism Awards judging panel for three years. With her wealth of experience and enthusiasm on the topic, businesses truly do come away from the workshops with a competitive edge.

ROLEYSTONE BOYS SELECTED IN PERTH ALLSTARS TEAMS FOR SEAYBST
Both products of the Roleystone Tee-Ball & Baseball Club, Trent McDonnell and Aaron Newland travelled down the hill this season to gain some valuable experience while playing in the Victoria Park Reds U17.1 team. This season has been a real learning curve for both boys, and has seen them play games for the Reds U21 side, with Aaron making his senior debut as starting pitcher for the Reds AAA side, a game in which he pitched 8 scoreless innings. His efforts helped Vic Park win the game 12 – 0. To cap off their great season, both boys have been selected to represent Perth in the South East Asian Youth Baseball & Softball Tournament, held in Perth from 28 – 31 March.

F2C SWANS USA Tour 2012 With the support of parents, families and sponsors, the Fit2Cheer Swans were able to compete in the USA from January 25 – February 8. The girls trained hard three times a week in preparation from October to January right up until they left for the USA Tour. Within three months, the team raised $34,000 in fund raising and sponsorships to pay for their new uniforms, tour shirts and Swans banner, with the rest distributed between the girls to assist with the costs of the tour. A special mention must go out to the wonderful businesses in the local Roleystone area which helped the girls with donations, such as Roleystone Supa IGA, Roleystone Family Meats, Roleystone Newsagency, Roleystone Chemist and Aura Hairdressing. As a result of this amazing community-powered effort, the Swan girls came home with 4 banners including Level 2 Grand Champion, 2 international titles and 1 international runner-up title! At the All Things Cheer Starz International Championship in Seattle, the Small Junior Level 2’s and Small Senior Level 2’s both came first place in their respective categories, with the Small Junior 2 also winning the Level 2 Grand Champions title. The Swans’ Level 2 Group Stunt Team, including Georgia Gillard, Amie Fuduric, Teneal Fleming and Nerissa Dertwort, took second place for their category, despite competing against much higher level teams. At the Spirit Sports Cheer & Dance “Duel in the Desert” in Palm Springs, California, the Small Junior Level 2’s came second place, just missing out on the top spot by 0.3 of a point!

Amy’s Passing to Rainbow Bridge by Dr Judith Congrene Sadly, my beautiful 15 year old Staffy cross dog Amy passed away in my arms on February 13. She and I spent a peaceful morning together amongst burning candles and incense, the lulling sounds of with her Enya’s “Benediction Moon” album playing in the background, before I then helped Amy to go on her peaceful journey to Rainbow Bridge. The next day, in the early hours of Valentines Day, I sat alongside her grave whilst sipping a cup of tea, during which time the words of this poem came to me. I penned them down and dedicate them to my precious and sadly missed companion.
Darling sweet Amy – joy of my heart With me each morning as the day starts Lovingly beside me until the night ends My special companion and wonderful friend. The sadness is shattering, the pain is real I grieve for your presence and the love that I feel I sit by your graveside missing your warmth and devotion My head is in shock, my heart in emotion. Emptiness fills me but I thank God for this day The hours shared together as beside you I lay. My arms wrapped around you in a loving embrace The special pink LOVE teddy bear close by your face The space in my heart will always be yours, I watched you slip away calmly whilst holding your paws. I have helped many animals to Rainbow Bridge Who knows if you will meet them and what you will say I think of you smiling and happy each day I know you are at your peace and Im relieved for the gentle passing to be free at Rainbow Bridge where we will meet again. Until then, dear Amy, whenever that may be, I count all my blessings for the privilege that 15 years ago, you chose me. The words flow freely and so do my tears It’s so hard to lose you after so many years. I feel comfort visiting you, sipping my tea Another early morning in your company Sadly the midnight visit to the horses without you along Reminds me precious puppy I have to be strong.

We recently had the pleasure of one of the Perth Heat coaches Steve Fish joining us at an U8’s training session to help teach the kids how to slide. He taught us about the figure 4, sliding in to base and keeping our eyes on the ball and on the game play. After a few demos by Steve, the kids had a go practicing their sliding on a 10m long tarp full of water and detergent that made one massive slip-n-slide! Thanks again Steve and everyone else involved for making the afternoon possible, it was an action-packed training session that the kids just didn’t want to leave. The RTBC held its AGM and Presentation Day on March 11. Despite the extreme heat, it was a great turnout with added fun from the bouncy castle, gladiator duel, and face painting. All committee positions were declared vacant at the AGM and a new committee was voted in. The executive committee for 2012/13 now stands with Sandy Johnson as President,

Local Council Items by Caroline Wielinga
Cross Park-Springdale Master Planning The Council has endorsed $50,000 for consultants to “Master Plan” Cross Park and Springdale Reserves. This item has arisen from a previous study (“Active Sporting Reserves and Community Hubs Study” Community Services Agenda 07/02/2012) which looked into twelve of the City’s older reserves to “investigate the current and future needs of the City in the provision of active reserves for community and sporting groups”. Three of the twelve parks were in RoleystoneKarragullen (Cross Park, Springdale and Karragullen oval). Cross Park was identified as a “community focused hub” and Springdale as a “sporting focused hub”. Cross Park was further identified as a high priority for review focusing on “consolidation of built facilities” and its “potential to be a community hub in this area”. All clubs and groups should be contacted by the consultants during this process and the outcome should provide a long term plan for all users in the area. Araluen Council has endorsed a new traffic management plan, which was
developed by specialist consultants for Araluen for the 2012 Springtime Festival (Technical Services Agenda 07/03/2012). Parking will be at Araluen, Camp Simons across the river, and Croyden Road between Brookton Highway and Araluen. Measures will be taken to limit the effect on local residents. Visitors to Araluen will enter from Croyden Road, but will have to leave via Gardiner Road. Setting the traffic flow this way will reduce confusion and congestion, and keep incoming and outgoing traffic from crossing other traffic lines. Survey Results from the Friends of Robin Green Survey Survey results from the Friends of Robin Green survey conducted through the local papers, on Roleynet and at the Roleystone Shopping Centre stall have shown that the most popular first preference was to save the green with seniors accommodation to the east. Although some responses from some households were identical, (as if one filled out numerous forms) if these were omitted from the count, the results would still be relatively the same in proportions.

The Roleystone Women’s Hockey Club is now looking for players for the 2012 season. If you are an experienced player kept from playing the game you love by the high costs of metro hockey clubs fees and turf costs, we can offer you an enjoyable challenge at a quarter of that cost. All the teams entered in the Hills Women’s Hockey Association competition play Sunday afternoons at the same venue, with games followed by tea or coffee and accompaniments. We can even accommodate players who want a double boost for extra training, as long as your metro club approves.

The article “Preparing to Say Goodbye to My Dog” by Dr. Judith Congrene certainly had us reading with some interest. Last November, we found ourselves in the situation, having to say goodbye to our beautiful old English Mastiff, Jana. At 10 years of age, she had become very grey, slow-moving and less eager to play now that she was so short of breath. She had reached the end of her time with us, so with the heaviest of hearts, the decision was made to have her quietly and peacefully euthanised at home. We had arranged for our lovely vet Jo, from Ark Veterinary Centre to come to our home at 6:15pm that day, a Thursday. On the Wednesday morning prior, Jana stopped eating and was content just to lie on her mat out on the verandah. On the Thursday morning, however, she took herself to a sandy shady area in the garden, where she drifted in and out of consciousness. Our younger English Mastiff, Mr Jones, showed very obvious concern about what was happening, by nudging Jana and whining at her. Mistakenly, we

thought that he was annoying her, so he was put outside the garden fence, where he just sat and watched. However, about 2 hours before Jo was to visit, Jana struggled up into a sitting position and looked around for Mr Jones. We let him back in with her, and for about 40 minutes they had this wonderful opportunity to interact together before Jana lay back down and closed her eyes. As the photographs show, Mr Jones did not leave Jana’s side, preferring instead to remain quietly with her. It was the most touching show of emotion we had ever seen. Jo arrived and when Jana had finally been put to sleep, Mr Jones put his nose up against Jana’s nose, as if to check that she was really gone. He whined mournfully and then checked again. He finally laid down beside her, so we left them undisturbed until sometime later, when he got up and moved away. Jana was buried in the garden, and afterwards Mr Jones laid down by her resting place for the night. The photographs taken beautifully capture the emotionally farewell shared between two good friends. It has taken a long time for Mr Jones (and us) to get used to Jana not being with us. Even to this day, he will every so often go and lie in the garden next to where Jana is buried, but he is no longer mournful. I am just so grateful that Jana stayed long enough for Mr Jones to say his goodbyes. Regards, Mike and Cyn Shord.

Roleystone’s Majestique School of Dance has been named an official Angelina Ballerina™ Academy member studio. As seen on the popular ABC television show, Angelina Ballerina is a remarkable little mouse who dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. For over 25 years, she has inspired little budding dancers (both boys and girls), through her best-selling books. To become an Angelina Ballerina Academy, studios must meet specific criteria, including membership of a recognised national and/or international dance teaching organisation and recognised teaching qualifications. Studio owner Nicki Divitini says the school is “really excited to be associated with Angelina Ballerina”. Majestique School of Dance prides itself on introducing children to dance in a fun and caring way, with children able to start classes from just 2 years of age. ABA classes will include some Angelina Ballerina themed activities and incentives, as well as all the traditional elements of dance class. Students will be able to earn “little stars’ stickers” and other rewards to place in their very own journal. In just 5 weeks, demand for new classes has doubled the Saturday morning 3-5 year old classes in Roleystone. Demand has also called for classes for an even younger age bracket, such as 2-3 year olds. There is also potential to start new classes in Kelmscott, Gosnells, Armadale, Kalamunda, Seville Grove, Byford, Pickering Brook, and surrounding areas. For more information please visit www.majestiqueschoolofdance.com or call Nicki on 9397 6041 or 0408 924 338.

That Great Big log on Wygonda Road
I sometimes wonder just how much local traffic drives past that great big log on Wygonda Road which boldly displays the name of “The Roleystone Country Club”. There must be those who think “what lies beyond that boundary?” as they drive past, going about their daily business. There may have even been a few who have been tempted enough to venture down that driveway to investigate and satisfy their curiosity. Why not join them and come see for yourself?

BE BRAVE & SHAVE! Local resident Joanne Hunter participated in the World’s Greatest Shave challenge on Friday 16th of March at the Seaforth Gardens Hostel in Gosnells. Having two sisters who both survived breast cancer, as well as knowing many others who’s lives have been affected by cancer, Joanne had no doubts in registering. On the day a large group of residents joined her to show their support for her efforts, which all the funds from will go to the Leukaemia Foundation. Congratulations Joanne!

The Roleystone DEC Bushranger Cadet Unit invites new members to come and join!! Bushranger Cadet’s is suitable for children in Years 7 – 12 from the Roleystone Community. The Roleystone DEC Bushranger Cadet unit is an environmentally based group, affiliated with the Department of Environment and Conservation. We have many exciting hands-on projects, incursions, excursions and camps planned for the year ahead. The Roleystone DEC Cadets believe living in the Roleystone Community, in a jarrah forest habitat comes with a responsibility. Through the Cadet program we hope to encourage an appreciation and education of the environment and the natural setting in which we live. The Cadet unit has been lucky enough to win a grant from Lotteries West to build a greenhouse near the ‘kiss and drive’ on the College site. In conjunction with Roleybushcare, the unit plans to use the greenhouse to propagate seedlings from local plants, rehabilitating the Roleystone Community College site and surrounding areas. We will also begin to tackle the growing jarrah dieback issue, injecting trees on the school grounds. We hope to have the greenhouse up and running by second semester, to be used in a cross-curricula manner. The unit is currently organising a 3-day camp to Perup Natures Guesthouse, a DEC managed area of National Forest, 30 minutes from Manjimup. This will be our third visit to Perup home of many
rare and endangered native mammals, where the Western Shield Project was established through the use of ‘1080’ baits to control the feral cat and fox problem in the area. In the past, under the guidance and expertise of Manjimup DEC Rangers the Cadets have had the opportunity to radio track and search for evidence of breeding dalgytes (bilbies), dig reptile pits for the study of small reptiles and trap, identify and record details of native animals including brush-tailed possums, chuditch (western quoll) and quenda (burrowing bettong). Through the Cadet program we also aim to teach camping, bush survival, first-aid and self management skills. These skills are routinely tested with a camp (in tents) where, amongst other things, the Cadets plan and cook their own meals. Bushranger Cadets meet every Tuesday from 3.15pm – 5pm, they are supplied with a Cadet uniform (to be returned when the student leaves the program). There is no cost for week to week sessions. Camps, incursions and excursions are partially funded by Department of Communities but may incur a small cost. If your child is interested in finding out more about the Bushranger Cadets please contact Katrina Curtis on 9397 6222.

Could you be a Gatekeeper? These days, knowing the basics of First Aid, CPR and perhaps even burns management is quite common among the general populace. The average Joe knows how to deal with the obvious physical problems, but what about the less conspicuous issues that can lurk beneath a blank face? What happens when someone we know is struggling with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety or contemplating suicide? The likelihood is that you won’t be as confident in your ability to handle those situations, even though the results could end just as badly. Gatekeeper Training is the modern day First Aid Course for people who want to know what steps to take when dealing with someone who is in need of emotional help. Gatekeeper is the only nationally recognised suicide prevention training in WA. One Life Gatekeeper Training is a comprehensive and modern approach to reduce suicidal behaviour, which promotes family, school and workplace environments as avenues of social support. Studies reveal that approximately eight out of ten people who take their own lives give definite warning signs of their suicidal intentions, so it makes sense that more people should be trained to be alert to these signs and have the skills to take appropriate action when the signs are exhibited. A “Gatekeeper” refers to a worker and community member who is able to identify and support people at risk of suicide. The premise of the Gatekeeper Training is that by developing a strong relationship with an “at risk” person and connecting them with appropriate support, their sense of hopelessness and of being alone in their struggle is lessened. By implementing effective intervention, the likelihood of suicide is significantly reduced. One Life Gatekeeper Training is a two day workshop designed to provide participants with a wide range of skills and knowledge to improve their ability and confidence to work with suicidal people and make referrals to professional help. The two day workshop modules cover the following: Extent of the Problem, Mental Disorders, Recognising Warning Signs, Linking and Raising the Issue, Intervention Guidelines, Intervention with Low-Moderate High Risk, Understanding the Problem, Self-Harming Behaviour, Understanding Needs, Framework for Risk Assessment, Intervention with High Risk and Postvention. This training is open to the public, so please email or call if you would like to attend. The next training dates are April 12 – 13, and will be located in Armadale. A special training day has been set for those working in the Education Department or alongside children. Please advise which course you will attend. The training is FREE and is funded by the West Australian Suicide Prevention Strategy and promoted by Roleystone Community Alive. For more information please call Evie Molson on 0418 956 519.

On Thursday 23 February, a follow-up workshop took place with the young people from Roleystone and a consultant from Convic Designs, regarding the Cross Park Skate Park. Local residents were posted information inviting them to the workshops with the initial consultation held on Thursday 8 December. The young people were very interested with the draft design and gave positive feedback, discussing a few other aspects that could be integrated into design, budget allowing. There was also a follow-up stakeholder workshop with members from the local community to discuss the draft design. The discussions were positive and included topics of connectivity with paths, visibility, lighting, complexity and diversity elements of park to suit differing skill levels, interest factor for young people, railings and safety, drainage, platforms, parking and activation opportunities.

On Sunday 19 February, a very special community event was held at the Centre of Being. Families with children as young as two years old coming together to make simple but beautiful magic. Under the patient and watchful guidance of Anaku, the children mixed food pigment and sand together to create vibrant colours for a mandala, which is a geometric symbol that represents the universe. The children explored different shapes and patterns with the sand, becoming immersed in the colours as the mandala grew and took shape before them. Each child had their own small piece to complete, but they also got to work together to fill in the spaces around their particular piece. The result was a beautiful day of sharing, cooperation and fun. Families shared lunch on the shaded lawn in between these wonderful bursts of creativity. Many thanks must go to all those who attended to make this day a very special and memorable event. Many more wonderful community events are planned
for the Centre of Being this coming year, so please follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with what’s happening.
On a Wing and a Prayer On Wednesday 29 February, the Palm Beach Rotary Club proudly presented a community talk and screening at the Gary Holland Centre in Rockingham. It was very well attended, and all proceeds made from donations at the door were given to the Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Rehabilitation Centre. The night’s main attraction was DEC Senior Wildlife Officer Rick Dawson’s in-depth talk on the biology and ecology of the endangered Carnaby’s cockatoo. Rick was joined by Chris Phillips from the Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Rehabilitation Centre, who spoke
about the Centre’s work in conserving black cockatoos. There was also a chance for attendees to meet Harmony and Ebony, the beautiful black cockatoos who were there to ‘sign’ autographs. After the talk, there was a community screening of “On a Wing and a Prayer”, the engaging story of one Carnaby’s Cockatoo family, and Senior Wildlife Investigator Rick Dawson, who made their survival his life’s mission. For those that managed to see it, the ABC screened the “On a Wing and a Prayer” documentary on Tuesday 13 March. Valerie Turnell.
~~ Great Cocky Count ~~ Our iconic Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos need your help, join us as we carry out our annual snapshot survey. It’s simple, fun and every survey counts.

A Geneva based research centre described 2010 as the deadliest year from natural disasters in two decades - and Australia ranked in the top ten countries affected (source: http://www.probonoaustralia.com.au/news/2011/01/deadliest-year-naturaldisasters-2010 ) The Small Business Advisory Services – National Disaster Assistance (SBAS-NDA) program was set up to provide support to small businesses directly or indirectly impacted by all the natural disasters that occurred in Australia from October 2010 to now. Some of these disasters included cyclones, floods and fire and they affected multiple States in Australia. The Belmont Business Enterprise Centre (Belmont BEC) is one of twenty-five not-forprofit business advisory organisations that received Australian Government funding to assist small businesses affected by natural disasters. Belmont BEC is providing national assistance ‘virtually’ through ‘My business incubator’ which delivers support via one-on-one telephone assistance, email, mentoring through web meetings and group training webinars. All services are provided free or low cost, by specialist business advisors and with assistance from industry professionals. Webinars are offered to small businesses by the Belmont BEC in disciplines such as business planning, finance, marketing, ecommerce, HR, websites and social media. Legal and accounting support is also be available to those needing specialist advice. Carol Hanlon, CEO of Belmont BEC said, “By participating in the program, we are finding that the confidence of business owners who have sadly been affected by natural disasters is improving, and so are their business results, which is fantastic. Our services are offered online, so any business can access our project easily and this support will be available until May 2012”. More information about other organisations that were successful in obtaining SBAS-NDA funding grants is available at www.ausindustry.gov.au, via the Hotline 13 28 46, or by emailing hotline@ausindustry.gov.au.

Those of you who keenly follow interest rates will know that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept the cash rate on hold on the 6th March 2012. The RBA in doing this is inadvertently restricting the economy but also helping to restrict the Australian Dollar from going any higher to help Australian exports and investment in Australian companies. The Australian Dollar is currently trading at approximately 104 United States (US) cents, down a little on the last 7 weeks (due to recent positive economic reports on the US economy) but still at a level that sees off shore investors looking to invest in US stocks over the Australian Stock Exchange(ASX) due to currency and yield advantages. The RBA also believe that world growth will be below trend pace and are comfortable that a deep economic downturn is not occurring as Australia, the US, China, and Asia have moderate economies whilst Europe’s financial pressures have been reduced. All in all, we know that time is the great comforting factor in real estate - in 1996 you could buy a 4 bed, 2 bath home for $180,000 and the same home is now selling for between $600,000 to $700,000 - we look forward to seeing the same returns in the future so wether rates go up, down or are on hold, it’s always a good time to buy real estate - in 10 years time, purchasers will be wishing that they had bought two properties instead of one!!!

From 9am to 4pm on Saturday 21 April, you are all welcome to come along to the Claremont Showgrounds where we will celebrate the Maori New Year at the 2012 Matariki Festival Matariki, the Maori name for the Pleiades star cluster also known as The Seven Sisters, is also the name used to refer to the traditional Maori New Year. The word “matariki” has two meanings, both of which involve the stars. Mata Riki means “Tiny eyes”, and Mata Ariki means “Eyes of God”. Traditionally, the coming season’s crop was thought to be determined by the visibility of Matariki in the night sky. The brighter the stars, the warmer the season, and thus the more productive the harvest. It was also seen as an important time for family to gather and reflect on the past and the future. Traditionally families would gather to perform songs and hakas, weave, carve, prepare food delicacies, hunt and fish. Competitiveness is a dominant factor in Maori culture and the time of Matariki still emphasizes this. It provides a time when we can show off our talents and allows for recognition of achievement and success. Today, Matariki is all about celebrating the unique place in which we live, giving respect to the land we live on, showing our admiration and appreciation for our mother earth. We learn about those who
2012 came before us, our history, our family and our bones. It’s a time of new beginnings, a time to pause and reflect on the year that was and the year that will be. It’s a time of change, preparation and of action. For children, it’s an important time to learn about our ancestry, the land, the stars, and what it is to be Maori. Matariki is a time of coming together with family and friends to share food, festivities and fun, as well as a time to acknowledge what we have and what we have to give. We invite you to come celebrate the diversity of life in a celebration of Maori culture, language, spirit and people. Entry costs $10 per person, with children under the age of 12 getting in for free. Carparking is only $2. Entry is through gates 5 and 8, or you can jump on the Fremantle train and get off right outside the Showgrounds. From 6pm to 11:30pm, there will be a Matariki Ball featuring Ardijah and Ria Hall held at the Jim Webster Pavilion in the Showgrounds. For more information, call Olivia on 0430 949 940, Pani on 0404 004 824 or Jo on 0423 180 800.

the Theatre, replacement of Theatre roofing and guttering, plus new carpets and vinyl throughout. Zyg has always been a vocal supporter of the City of Armadale, and often commented on how many jobs were set up and completed without us even asking for them to be done. No sooner had we discussed an issue at a committee meeting, and Zyg would notify the committee that the Council was onto it already. The Theatre is certainly a lucky community group to have such a benevolent landlord dealing with the excellent upkeep of the heritage-listed building. Zyg commented at our recent Annual General Meeting, in which he did not re-nominate, that he felt he achieved all he had set out to achieve as President of the Roleystone Theatre. He also said that whilst it had been hard work, he was proud of his part in maintaining the good name of our Theatre. Thank you Zyg, from all our members, for all your time, ideas and efforts throughout the last 6 years. Thank you, Bree Hartley (President 2012).
WA Premiere: Mamet Marriage Play of mockery and manners A script from famed, Pulitzer Prize-winning US playwright David Mamet is coming to WA for the first time this April. Premiering at the Roleystone Theatre and directed by Eliot McCann, Boston Marriage focuses on two women living together at the turn of the 20th century, scheming away on the fringes of upper-class society. Their intimate relationship sails into troubled waters as both grapple for the upper hand after one becomes a wealthy man’s mistress and the other becomes infatuated with a young girl. The play’s title comes from the phrase “Boston Marriage”, a term used to describe two women living together, independent of a man’s financial support, a term which can also refer to a long-term loving relationship. Among Mamet’s many credits are the plays Glengarry Glen Ross and Sexual Perversity in Chicago and the screenplays The Postman Always Rings Twice and The Untouchables. Dispelling widespread belief he could only write for men, Mamet wrote Boston Marriage, a play focusing exclusively on three women. McCann said he had been a long-term fan of Mamet’s writing, but had not previously heard of this play. “My interest was piqued on that level and I was further intrigued by the fact it was written for an all-female cast, which was unusual for an author renowned for his ‘alpha-male’ characters,” he said. “After reading three pages of the script, I was chortling audibly in the library – I was sold on the idea of directing the show. The over-arching story concerns friendship and how, no matter what wedges are driven between two people who care deeply for each other, their friendship will invariably survive.” With more than 20 years’ experience in Perth theatre, performing and directing for the Graduate Dramatic Society, Playlovers and KADS, Stirling, Limelight, Marloo and Blak Yak Theatres, McCann most recently directed Lifex3 at the Old Mill Theatre. On top of directing Boston Marriage, he’s also writing and recording all the incidental music for the show. “The big challenge will be to monitor and conduct the flow of the language (known as ‘Mamet-speak’) while keeping the story clear with all its inherent twists and turns,” McCann said. Boston Marriage plays at 8pm, April 13, 14, 18, 20 and 21. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for children. You can book by calling 9397 5730 or through the new online booking and payment system at www.roleystonetheatre.com.au. Roleystone Theatre is located at 587 Brookton Highway, Roleystone.
