After relocating several times in the past 24 years, Armadale Youth Resources, a much-loved nonprofit community organisation has finally found a home for themselves. They say that good things come in small packages, and there have certainly been some musicians and bands such as Splinta, who started their careers from the old couch in the tiny lounge room. Continuing the tradition of staying small and cosy, the 68 square metre centre is situated in the Armadale CBD, next to McDonald’s and behind Dominos. The centre is set up with state-of-the-art gaming computers, a big drop-down screen for movies, art materials and a hang out space. CEO Debra Zanella said “We are so pleased to open this facility for young people. It’s the perfect location, and close to the new skate park. Our youth committee are busy plotting and planning some exciting activities including girl’s nights-in, mobile climbing walls and music workshops. Of course none of this would be possible without the volunteering effort of many local tradespeople and supporters of AYR, so we thank them for their efforts.” “Young people will be able to access information, support and referrals from our qualified youth workers, and regular special guests will be on hand to discuss important youth issues such as health, legal assistance and career advice. We are looking forward to securing funds and sponsors for our second stage, called the “The Audio Lab”, which will be a music studio for bands and digital youth radio shows. We hope to have this open mid-2013.” The drop-in centre is fully supervised, drug-free, alcohol-free and aggro-free, as well as costs nothing to young people aged 12 to 17. The centre is open from 4pm to 7pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Enquires can be made on 9497 1722 or email: info@ youthresources.com.au.

Felicia Lowe was delighted to receive the Public Choice Award at this year’s Royal Show, for her painting of “Indigo” the blue heeler. The Public Choice Award is selected by hundreds of daily visitors to the Open Art Award at the Perth Royal Show. This is the second time she has achieved this award, the first of which was in 2007, for her larger-than-life painting of a rooster. Felicia regards this Award as significant acknowledgement of her work and appeal to the general public, which is a key part of her arts practice. Earlier this year, Felicia held a solo exhibition at the new Zig Zag Cultural Centre Art Gallery in Kalamunda, and was hailed as Highly Commended at the Cossack Art Award. The local artist has lived in the hills for the past 7 years, and continues to develop her style with local content and imagery, which is further enhanced by the addition of hand-finished recycled Oregon frames to compliment the artworks. More information on Felicia’s arts practice can be viewed at www.artfulflowe.com.

Carnaby’s numbers still dowN This year’s Great Cocky Count shows that Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo numbers are still down. The numbers are about the same as they were in 2011: at that time, in the Swan Region around Perth, they had dropped by 40% since 2010. The cockatoos are counted at night roosts and since 2010, there has also been a decrease in the number of large roosts. The decrease in number of Carnaby’s counted in the Swan Region since 2010, with no significant improvement since 2011, may indicate the impact of continued habitat loss and degradation. BirdLife Australia argues it is vital that critical feeding and roosting habitat clearance within the Swan Region is stopped, and existing habitat across the cockatoo’s range is protected and better managed. The full 2012 Great Cocky Count report and a short Great Cocky Count summary are available at www.birdlife.org.au. The Great Cocky Count is a BirdLife Australia initiative, undertaken for the first time in 2006, when an anonymous donation allowed us to initiate the first effort to systematically count the cockatoos in the Perth region. Since then, annual Great Cocky Counts have been done since 2010. If you want to be part of next year’s Great Cocky Count, or can report a new cockatoo night-time roost, email greatcockycount@birdlife. org.au. For more information on the project go to www.birdlife.org.au. Posted on 21 September 2012. Ref: www.birdlife.org.au. Photographs courtesy of www.birdlife.org.au.

Craig Alford, from Armadale Mower World, is a man on a mission to make a difference. In March of this year, he rode all the way from Perth to Kalgoorlie on a Hustler lawn mower, to raise funds for Rotary Club projects. Along the way to Kalgoorlie, Craig made a number of stops at schools and men’s sheds, where he participated in more fundraising events, including some delicious sausage sizzles. He was even able to distribute a few new basketballs to school students. Craig was fortunate enough to have Fremantle Dockers player Aaron Sandilands promote the ride but due to Football commitments was not able to join him on the road. Craig had long been on the look-out for a fundraising event with a difference, and first got the inspiration to ride a lawn mower around the state whilst at a Hustler museum in America. Despite initial accusations of being mad, Craig’s proposal was eventually organised and supported by the Rotary Club. The 2012 “Ride for a Reason” was considered a great success by all, especially for its first time. According to Craig,
following the sale of the mower he rode on, he will have raised somewhere about $65,000 to $70,000, which will go towards research for mental illness. Having known many people from his own hometown who committed suicide due to mental issues, Craig considers this cause to be an especially important one. Craig is already planning ahead for next year’s “Ride to the Other Side”, a mower trip which will take him from Kalgoorlie to Adelaide, a distance of about 2188 kilometres. Since the trip will be conducted over about 2 weeks, Craig will be riding about 150 kilometres per day. While the ride is still being organised, it is hoped that Craig will be joined on his trip next year by V8 Ute superstar Craig Dontas. Looking even further into the future, Craig has a 7 year plan which involves riding his mower all around Australia, and fundraising to reach his goal of $1 million. He said “It’s a great thing to be in a position to make a real difference to people’s lives”. The Valley Reporter wishes him all the very best in his exciting and unique endeavours. Elise Kelly.
Everyone in Australia knows the name Captain Cook, and for good reason. Captain James Cook sailed across the globe for many years on his ship the Endeavour, before arriving at the shores of Australia. He was born in 1728, in the small town of Marton-in-Cleveland, which is now a southern suburb of Middlesbrough. About a century after Cook’s birth, two men called Henry Bolckow and John Vaughan discovered tonnes of iron ore in the Cleveland area, which led to the establishment of a steelworks industry. The resulting rise in population eventually caused the small town to be expanded into the more well-known city of Middlesbrough. Both Bolckow and Vaughan went on to become Mayors of Middlesbrough after its establishment. Karragullen resident Alf Craster, along with his wife Hetty, were both born in Middlesbrough. Mr Craster, a former builder and paratrooper, comes from a long line of “smoggies”, including his father, a Middlesbrough blacksmith who fought in the first World War, and his grandfather, a Middlesbrough-born shipyard worker. Like many others from his hometown, Alf is quite proud of his connection to the famous Captain Cook, and has researched extensively into his history. “Everybody from there knows about him”, he said. Before the octogenarian couple moved from England to Australia over 20 years ago, they often visited Stewart Park, a large public garden in Marton originally landscaped by Henry Bolckow, Pictured (top-bottom): Alf Craster’s father, also called Alf, which encompasses (right) in WWI military uniform.

The cottage where he was born in was disassembled brick life of Captain Cook, which were by brick, and rebuilt in Melbourne, Australia unfortunately erased from his hard in the 1930’s, where it is now a popular tourist drive by accident. Regardless of attraction. The spot where the house once stood this loss, it is truly wonderful to see is now occupied by a large granite monument a Valley resident so passionately dedicated to Captain James Cook. interested in the facts about his Mr Craster had until recently been in fellow countryman, Captain James possession of 4 recorded films focussed on the Cook.

When we hit the gates of the Fremantle Prison, WA’s only World Heritage building, Year 5 students were transported back in time to learn about previous inmates, how the prison begun and how it was finally closed. Students experienced both the good and bad of its history as they saw the tiny cells in which people lived day after day, the stunning art painted straight on the walls, and the inspiring convict-made architecture. Year 5 student Emily described the experience as “creepy, but so much fun”. Overall the Year 5 students enjoyed a fantastic day in the sun, learning about the creative process behind picture books and the history of WA’s most famous prison.
Yr 1 & 6 Buddy Cubbies
Times are changing, and modern children are spending more time indoors than any other generation. As playing outdoors is a crucial part of a child’s development, we have integrated Nature Play as a part of our Buddy program this year. Children from Year 1 and 6 are able to come together each week and complete one of the activities from the “Things to do before you turn 12” checklist. This term, in dedication to Father’s Day, students were able to design, build and work as a team with their special Dads to create a cubby house with recycled materials. Year 1 student Laura said, “It was really fun working in a team with my big buddy Sebastian to make our cubby”. It was very enjoyable to see children discuss, problem solve and question their plans and design, and great to see the fathers supporting their children in their task.
Assisting Your Itchy Pets
Pet Assist 332 Home Vet Services
By Dr Judith Congrene
Springtime is a beautiful enjoyable season, perfect for going on walks and other outdoor activities. Unfortunately, it can be a very uncomfortable time of the year for many pets, which experience constant itching and scratching as they try to relieve their very sensitive skins. These skin conditions can be frustratingly difficult to correctly diagnose, but they are mostly triggered by an allergy to fleas or environmental allergens, which cause the typically inflamed and reddened skin. Generally, dogs and cats show only minor skin irritation in response to flea bites. In contrast, a pet with a flea allergy has a severe itching reaction to the flea saliva, which makes them want to chew, lick or scratch themselves. This can cause hair loss and lead to open sores or scabs on the skin, allowing a secondary bacterial infection to begin. The area most commonly involved is along the spine, just in front of the tail, but in more complex cases, the hair loss can be more extensive. Sometimes a flea allergy is complicated by other factors which also need to be diagnosed and treated. Many skin problems can be treated very successfully at home, with detailed investigation of all the factors that might be contributing to the development and continuation of the itchiness.

Young sportspeople in the Canning electorate have until October 31 to apply for this year’s Round 2 Local Sporting Champions Grants. Canning MHR Don Randall is encouraging individuals and clubs to apply and said the $3,000 grant he presented to the WA Tanks canoeing team at the Champion Lakes Regatta Centre on the weekend showed how the grants could benefit young athletes with big dreams. “The WA Tanks are a team of four canoeists and Champion Lakes is one of their main places of training,” Mr Randall said. “With nine Western Australian canoeists, kayakers and rowers at this year’s Olympic Games, it’s an exciting time for the WA Tanks and the future of these sports, both for competitors and spectators.” Mr Randall said while the Olympics could be another eight years away for the Tanks team, the Local Sporting Champions Grant would help pay for equipment, club fees, training and transport to assist them in achieving that goal. “This grant went towards the cost of getting the Tanks to New South Wales for this year’s AC National Sprint Championships,” he said. Local Sporting Champions Grants of $500 for eligible individuals and $3000 for eligible teams are available to successful applicants. Decisions

The York Mill steels itself for the limelight
Metal sculpture artist Wayne Jeffery has made a return to The York Mill’s Boiler Room Gallery this October with his latest exhibition “Steeling the Limelight”, a dazzling array of sculptures, totems, birdbaths, and wall-hangings. The unique pieces, made from a combination of recycled steel, lighting and glass effects, celebrate authentic Australian natural themes, including marri trees and blue wrens. Growing up in Wairarapa, New Zealand, Jeffrey developed a passion for many forms of art including sculpture, drawing and oil painting. After developing his skills in iron work, he discovered a rare talent and love of consulting with clients to design and fabricate unique pieces to suit the architecture of their homes, which he enabled through his business Jalmer Wrought Iron. After moving to Perth in 2007, Jeffrey started working on a new form of sculpture that reflects old masters of the medium, matched with modern welding methods. He is also the artist behind the Marri Tree of Life internal doors, commissioned by the Boiler Room Gallery in 2010. The York Mill Managing Director John Langton said “It’s a pleasure to have Wayne return as the exhibiting artist for October. Wayne’s works are on display year-round, but it’s always exciting for the gallery to host his latest exhibition and see what new creations have unfolded.” Complementing “Steeling the Limelight” will be traditional stained art works by Kim Fitzpatrick, another artist living in the Byford-Hills district. “Steeling the Limelight” will run until October 28th in the Boiler Room Gallery. Admission is free, and attendees will have two opportunities to meet Jeffrey at the gallery, 1-4pm on October 27-28. The York Mill is at 10 Henrietta St, York, and the gallery is open 10-4pm, Wed-Sun. For more details, call 9641 2900 or go to www.theyorkmill.com.au.

New members are always welcome, as are volunteers wishing to lend a hand to this fantastic community initiative.

Healing Solutions presents a Free Workshop for those who feel
stressed, irritable &tirEd The reality of modern living is filled with commitments that leave us with less spare time to relax and enjoy life. Stress is an ongoing part of our daily lives, and at particular times of the year, such as Christmas, extra obligations and engagements can increase the stress. Nearly 75% of people say they experience severe stress at least twice a week, and up to 90% of visits to a primary care physician are for stress-related issues. When stress becomes intense or unbearable, it can affect normal body function, and its persistence can lead to a range of other symptoms including fatigue, restlessness, mood swings, impatience and irritability, heart palpitations, headaches, muscle cramps, anxiety, insomnia or oversleeping, poor memory/concentration, and a general lack of interest in many things. This workshop will help you to find out how to get through the holiday season in a better state of health, by increasing your energy and vitality, and effectively reducing your stress. If you are ready to be re-energised, and to cope with today’s challenges, then come along to the workshop with a friend. The workshop will go from 6pm to 7pm on Monday the 12th of November, at Nervana Chiropractic, located on 7 Stirk Street, Kalamunda. Bookings are essential, so call 9293 2999 or send an email to caroline@ healingsolutions.com.au.

The Grow Project is a local non-profit initiative that educates kids about the importance of living a sustainable life, encourages and promotes buying of local produce, eating fresh and healthy, growing your own vegetables and being environmentally friendly. Roleystone Community College is renowned for their leading film education program, but they are now branching out by growing a garden to emphasize the need for healthy eating as a part of the curriculum. The Grow Project attended the Karragullen Show on the 13th of October, demonstrating their healthy pizza making skills, which attendees were able to sample, along with receiving a recipe card. The next endeavour for these budding gardening enthusiasts is to raise money to build a kitchen where the kids can grow and cook their own food. “Our goal is give this remarkable community gift to the school for Christmas. If we raise enough funds, the kitchen can be completed over the school holidays, and will be established by the start of the 2013 school year in February,” said Caroline Legg, Vice-Chair of The Grow Project. To raise the $20,000 needed to make this possible, raffle tickets are being sold, with all prizes donated by Elaine Anfield from The Good Guys in Cannington. For only $2 a ticket, you can be in the draw to win a $4,000 gift card to spend at The Good Guys in Cannington this Christmas. “My real desire is to have kids learn where and how fruit and vegetables are grown. By making that personal connection with food they produce themselves, the kids will also be promoting healthy eating. I am just so proud to be a part of this wonderful project,” said Elaine Anfield, proprietor of The Good Guys in Cannington. Raffle tickets will be sold throughout the school from Kindergarten to Year 10, on Facebook, throughout the Armadale Shire and at The Good Guys in Cannington.

Local Roleystone Girls Share Childcare Success I have been helping staff gain qualifications since traineeships first began. Since there none in the beginning, I had to adapt a a business traineeship to suit the childcare industry. When VET school-based traineeships began, SMYL (South Metropolitan Youth Link) contacted me to take students. I had also used SMYL for my P.D. training, through which I got to know Gloria Ince. When I became disenchanted with the registered training organisation I was using, I contacted Gloria and from then on my trainees were enrolled with SMYL. Demi did work experience at my Magic Moon Childcare Centre, and had asked me if I had any traineeship spots available, since her school did not do Year 11 and 12, meaning she was going to have to go to another High School. Unfortunately, at the time, I already had my quota, so I had to say no. The following April, one of my trainees left suddenly, so I rang Demi. She told me that she and her twin sister Taylor had started Certificate III with TAFE, but had given it up after finding the overwhelming course to be not what they thought Childcare was all about. She jumped at the chance of a traineeship at my centre. After considering the fact that
the girls are only 15 years of age, I asked if they would like to job share, which they eagerly agreed to. Their mum brought them along, as she wanted to find out about the traineeships. They settled into our centre very quickly, forming meaningful relationships with the children and their families. Their assessor from SMYL, Amanda, agreed with me that they were naturals. They soon got their Certificate III, and went on without hesitation to do the Diploma Traineeship. After running my Centre for the month of July, designing the program, helping children develop their individual interests and supporting other staff, children and their families, Demi and Taylor had their final assessments in August of this year. I was their age when I achieved my NNEB qualification in England, and after nearly 50 years in the childcare industry (30 of which were spent in my own Centre), I will be retiring at the end of the year. Demi and Taylor have a wonderful career ahead of them as qualified Childcare workers, and I wish them both success and happiness for their futures. Linda Edwards, Owner/Coordinator Magic Moon Childcare Centre.

For those with sensitive skin or allergies, or people who simply prefer a healthy alternative to mainstream, chemical-laden deodorants, Crystal™ deodorants are the ideal choice. Our deodorants are rated #1 by the Environmental Working Group for having the safest ingredients among natural and mainstream commercial deodorants. Crystal™ deodorants are not tested on animals, are safe for the environment, and are recommended by Cancer Treatment Centres nationwide. What makes Crystal™ deodorants so unique are the powerful natural mineral salts that prevent body odour from occurring by forming a layer on the skin which is inhospitable to odour-causing bacteria. All of our deodorants are hypoallergenic, paraben free, alcohol free, non-sticky, non-staining, and contain no aluminum chlorohydrate. They also dry instantly and don’t leave any residue. Our award-winning, flagship Crystal Body Deodorant™ is unscented, while our brand new Crystal essence line is lightly scented with three different lush aromas which you can choose from: • Chamomile & Green Tea, for stress reduction and antioxidants • Lavender & White Tea, for anti-inflammatory benefits and relaxation • Pomegranate, for natural regeneration. The Crystal range of products are now available at Brackenridge Pure Indulgence. The 120g body deodorant stick costs $15, the 67ml body roll-on deodorant costs $15, and the 118ml deodorant spray also costs $12. Part proceeds from Crystal™ deodorants are donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and Brackenridge Pure Indulgence is proud to show its support for the Girls on the Porch fundraiser event.
Quenda Survey exceeding all expectations! the Department of Environment and Conservation will use to map quenda habitat across Perth and the region. We’ve also learned that Perth folks are keen observers of animal behaviour, which is contributing to our knowledge of this species. Many people have reported that their resident quendas can be active at any time of day, not just at night time or at dusk. And i n t e r e s t i n g l y, many quendas don’t seem to mind sharing a backyard with a cat or a dog, even going so far as to steal their biscuits. Predation is still definitely a major threat to this species, but we think the really important thing to help the quendas survive in the presence of cats, dogs and foxes is good habitat for the quendas to hide in – low, dense vegetation for preference, although people are also reporting them using log piles or even sheds. Stay tuned for more quenda news. July 20, 2012. Posted by Kath Howard. Ref: http://blog.wwf.org. au/2012/07/quenda/.

Wow, we have had an amazing response to the quenda survey recently launched by the Department of Environment and Conservation and WWF. It turns out Perth residents really love their bandicoots! Hundreds of people have called or emailed to let us know about the quendas in their garden, near their work or in their favourite bushland reserve. Since the story hit the papers, we have had over 800 sighting reports to date – and over 200 of those came in the first two days! It was just lucky we could call on Rebecca Boyland, our new Quenda Survey Assistant, to come in and handle the load. Rebecca at WWF and John Hudson at DEC have been busy taking phone calls and responding to hundreds of emails. If you have reported a quenda sighting and you haven’t heard back from us yet, please be patient. It will take us a while to process the back log of sighting reports. They’re also beavering away entering the sighting reports into a database that

Calls to reintroduce the Rainwater Tank Rebate in WA as record dry winter leads to water crisis Stress on WA’s water supply has never been greater, and as Water Week (October 21st to 27th) approaches, there are calls for the State Government to take action to deal with the water crisis. Perth’s rain harvesting expert Liza Joubert has said that it is time for the government to get serious about solving the problem, and to realise that excess water use by householders is the main issue. “The reality is that with DON’T MISS OUT ON THE NEXT SPRING RAIN! the low dam levels, the dry winter rainfall we experienced, and the increasing demand on water THE ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY SOLUTION TANKS FOR SAVING WATER! supply, water is becoming an even more highly valued Call now for a 3000 LITRE commodity, and should FREE onsite start to be treated as such. $665 quote Saving water has never been 5000 LITRE Use rainwater for: more important to Perth, • Filling the Pool • Gardening • Washing Machine • Toilet $775 and the Government needs • All done with our tank and pump combo to reintroduce the rainwater • Call for delivery and installation tank rebate urgently,” said SENIORS Ms Joubert. “Every drop DISCOUNT really does count, and AVAILABLE consumers are at the front FACTORY DIRECT line of the battle to save our water supply.

The government funds these programs by way of providing a rebate. In WA this used to be the case, but the rebate program was dropped some years ago.” Ms Joubert believes that having a rainwater tank can change people’s attitudes towards water use, since they allow consumers to keep track of how much water they collect and use, and give householders visual and physical reminders of their water use and the resulting impacts. Consequently, owners of rainwater tanks gain a greater consciousness about saving money and water, and may even feel better for doing the right thing by using a green eco-friendly product. “It’s also possible to link your rain water tank to your laundry Whe e c ri re the Q P e and toilets, saving up to 50,000 litres of water a year.” h t uality is higher than Ms Joubert is a keen environmentalist and is actively involved in community gardens and projects which create public awareness about the importance of water in Australia.

The beauty of the Perth hills has been a great source of inspiration to me for the past 25 years. The variety of native wildlife that fills the area is nothing short of amazing. I have often sat in my backyard and listened to the sounds of a kookaburra laughing or magpies singing, and felt motivated to pull out the art supplies and start painting. I enjoy capturing the true essence of nature in every painting. I love to paint in mixed media using watercolours and acrylics, with a focus on detail. I will be having my very first solo Art Exhibition at Genesis in the Hills, from the 1st of November till the 2nd of December. Opening Night will be on Saturday 3rd of November, starting at 6pm. The exhibition is a depiction of “Wild Things”, with an emphasis on Australian nature, animals and birds. Attendees can view the exhibition Thursdays 10:30am-5pm and Fri-Sun 8:30am-5pm. Another Art Exhibition is planned for 2013, and will be held at the Zig Zag Cultural Centre, Kalamunda. Keep an eye out for future details.

Labor Senator for Western Australia Duty Senator for O’Connor
LIBERAL PARTY INFIGHTING PUTS WA FARMERS WELFARE AT RISK Tony Abbott made a poor attempt to paper over the dysfunction and confusion in the Coalition today by ignoring Tony Crook’s call to support Labor’s deregulation of the wheat industry; again showing the Coalition’s inability to represent WA, said West Australian Senator Glenn Sterle recently. “How can they possibly be trusted to do what‘s best for WA wheat farmers when they’re so divided over such a key issue? “On the one hand Tony Crook attends National’s Party room meetings.
“On the other, Abbott’s comments today show Crook’s opinion carries no weight with the Coalition. “Tony Crook has just been the most recent in a list of critics of Tony Abbott’s stand on this issue. “Premier Barnett and Christian Porter have also pointed out that a lack of leadership from Tony Abbott will hurt WA wheat farmers. “What is becoming clearer by the day is that the Federal Coalition is a dysfunctional rabble who will put the interests of WA farmers last,” Senator Sterle said.

Karate Camp 2012 – Fun on Wheels The Queen’s Birthday long weekend meant that the time had come around again for the annual Kofukan Karate Roleystone camp held in Pemberton. We had a strong number of families join us, including some visitors from our new Mandurah Club. The weekend included a range of activities, from mountain biking and 4WD-ing, to a communal dinner held on the Saturday night. Mountain biking provided the group with some adrenaline-pumping fun. It took some time for the riders to head to the top of the mountain but it was all worth the 2-3 minutes it took to make it back down. As the group met at the bottom of the mountain to discuss what parts of the track provided challenges and who nearly “hit the dirt”, Ben Clarke notified the group that he fell off and ended up being stuck upside down in the fork of two trees. Luckily, he was okay and ready to do it all again. The communal dinner held on Saturday night was a big success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed all the meals provided. I believe (ahem)
that the highlight of the dinner was the chocolate coated, bite- size cake balls provided by Brooke Williams. Sunday provided a wonderful day to go 4WD-ing to the beach. We left camp with a convoy of seven cars and took to the sand dunes. After a steep descent to the beach, most of the drivers were left wondering how on earth they were going to make it back to the top of the dunes. Comments flew around as to what tyre pressures everyone was running and what gear the car should be in. After all of our cars made it back to the top of the dunes, there was one person who had a smile that ran from one ear to the other: Wally McWalter, who thought that his car was too old to match it with the rest of the group. After 6 hours on the dunes it was time to head back to camp and crack open a celebratory drink. After a fun and busy weekend had by all, everyone is already looking forward to next year and an opportunity to further explore the region. Story and photographs by Brooke Williams.

The Roleystone Tee-ball and Little League SponSor teams kicked off their seasons mid-October with U8’s tee-ball being played Saturdays at Springdale Park, U9-U13’s tee-ball down at AK Strikers Ground in Armadale, and the Little League team playing Wednesdays on a home and away season. In their first game, the Little League team put up a great fight, but went down 11-8 to the AK Strikers. The team played extremely well, well supported by pitchers Harry Conlin, Dylan Taylor and Matthew Sandiford. First time player David Lori produced the hit of the game, and Kayn Millersmith and Keanu Mills showed some good discipline base-running to score at the conclusion of the game. Both the tee-ball and baseball kids attended skill sessions during the October school holidays. A group of our teeballers attended Perth Heat development sessions at Baseball Park, and Perth Heat Development Officer Owen Reid conducted a 2 hour skill session with the Little League team on Monday the 8th of October. The club would like to acknowledge the Roleystone-Karragullen Bendigo Bank, which has once again agreed to another 2 year team sponsorship, which will enable us to get all new shirts for the “Bendigo Braves” Under 9’s team. In addition to the Telstra Grant reported last month, the Club has also been successful in securing a Healthway Healthy Club Sponsorship grant, which will be used to assist with coaching courses and purchasing new safety equipment for the U8 teams, such as batting helmets, pitchers’ helmets and chest protectors. This has allowed the club to donate surplus tee-ball, baseball gear and old uniforms as part of a care package to South Africa. The care package will supplement a Club which has only one bat.

Former Roleystone Theatre performer skates in for Australian musical premiere ‘We Can Make It’ and ‘Coloured Lights’, later featured in the Kander and Ebb musical revue “And The World Goes Round”. Flood plays Anna, the feisty, strong and determined single mother. “It’s a dream role to be playing,” she said. “Life has thrown many challenges Anna’s way and she’s been left to run a rollerskating rink alone. There are times when she’s angry about her plight, to the point where she questions her faith in God, but she never loses her fighting spirit or sense of humour. I love ‘The Rink’ for many reasons; my first introduction was listening to the music, which captivated me with lyricism so much that I found myself wanting to find out more about the story. Once I read the script, I was hooked on the clever blend of humour, nostalgia, and the fascinating dynamics of the mother-daughter relationship.” Involved in theatre on and off for most of her life, Flood has performed with Hayman, Roleystone, Garrick, Melville and Limelight Theatres, as well as the Graduate Dramatic Society, most recently appearing in “Mindgame” at Playlovers. “Most of my experience is in plays, so taking a lead role in a musical is pushing me way out of my comfort zone,” she said. “I’m looking forward to Former Roleystone Theatre performer Susan the challenge, with a Flood (second from left), and Mirella Renel play The Roleystone Autumn Festival organisation is underway, mixture of terror and mother and daughter trying to let go of the past, in the date has been set for Saturday 13th April 2013 10am-3pm. the Australian premiere of “The Rink”, with Kate exhilaration.” The event meetings in the lead up will be at Director Alida Chaney Sisley and McKinley Severson alternating as the 7:30pm on the last Friday of each month, said she has wanted to young girl. at the Roleystone Country Club. stage “The Rink” ever since she heard the song ‘The Apple Doesn’t Fall For more information about the Roleystone Autumn Festival Very From The Tree’ featured in the show. “This play is a musical with many highs and lows,” she said. “It’s a tricky show because the men all play several roles, and the two women have to be brilliant all-rounders. or contact Fraser Williams, My youngest daughter Amy is the choreographer, and even though not all fraser@roleystonerealestate.com.au.

Written by Kander and Ebb, and directed by Alida Chaney from Playlovers, “The Rink” is set in a rundown 1970’s rollerskating rink on the US east coast. The story follows a mother and daughter, characters played by Chita Rivera and Liza Minnelli in the original Broadway production, who try to find forgiveness and a way to let go of the past.

Once upon a time, Roleystone resident Graeme Cross had a wish – to appear in a madcap fairytale that adults would enjoy. Presented by A lad in sane productions at the Midland Junction Arts Centre this October, “Fairytale of Sorts” is partly inspired by the films “A Knight’s Tale” and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. Cross plays three characters; a guard, a peasant and a servant named Archibald. “Archibald is a servant who thinks of himself as a step above his master and everybody else,” he Roleystone resident Graeme Cross (right), plays said. “The main challenge several characters in “Fairytale of Sorts” with is delivering his Cockney Stuart Porter. accent. I also haven’t played more than one role in a play before, so creating different characters for each part will be fun to do.” First stepping up to the stage in a 1994 production of “The Glass Menagerie” in Queensland, Cross has since performed in numerous productions with Ipswich Little, Nash and Townsville Little Theatres, and appeared earlier this year in “Who Knows” at Garrick Theatre. In 2000 and 2001, he was named Best Actor at the Cement Box Theatre’s annual BugFest held at the University of Queensland. “Fairytale of Sorts” appealed to Cross because of the risk-taking element in the writing. “I’ve always been a fan of theatre that is somewhat left-of-centre,” he said. “I like scripts that take risks and aren’t afraid to enter uncharted waters – or even charted waters full of piranhas!” Writer and director Johnny Grim, who also acts in the play, said audiences should expect nothing but pure fun. “It may differ from many plays in that there’s no ‘take-home’ message,” he said. “It’s a play for those who adhere to the old saying about laughter being the best medicine. In a time long ago, in days before TV, Facebook, and X-Box 360’s, villagers gathered in the town square to listen to the fanciful tales of the storytellers. This play harks back to those medieval times, as we join the good folk of Partridgedale and meet with a host of lovable misfit characters. Besides a love of writing comedy material, I was also inspired by watching the hilarious television show Horrible Histories with my son.” “Fairytale of Sorts” plays at 8pm on October 18th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th and 27th, as well as at 5pm on October 21st and 28th. All tickets cost $15. To book, call 0430 889 789 or send an email: fairytaleofsorts@gmail.com. The Midland Junction Arts Centre is at 276 Great Eastern Highway (near the corner of Cale Street) in Midland.
