SUN CITY NEWSThursday 11 September 2014

TRAGEDYThe City of Wanneroo is appealing to Yanchepresidents for information relating to the illegalfelling of three well established eucalyptustrees at Mary Lindsay Homestead.

One of the trees was left lying across therecently built access which leads down to thebeach.

In addition to providing natural shade, thefelled trees are a known species that providehabitat for the endangered Carnaby’s blackcockatoo.

The damage has been reported to theDepartment of Environment Regulation (DER)and if anyone has any information about thisvandalism, call DER on 1300 784 782. Thepenalty for a person unlawfully clearing nativevegetation is a fine up to $250,000 or threeyears imprisonment.

The neglected heritage listed homestead issupposed to be under video surveillance. TheSun City News is unaware of any film footageof this vandalism incident.

Many Yanchep residents believe the MaryLindsay Homestead project is anotherYanchep Two Rocks project that the Mayor,Tracey Roberts, and her council have delayedand forgotten about.

The homestead project, like the OldhamReserve Stage 2 changerooms and new surfclub facilities have been ‘in planning’ for morethan ten years.

As one long time Yanchep resident, who didn’twant to be named, said: “The City of Wannerooand especially our current Mayor playgeopolitical antics with this region. I’m sick andtired of the more affluent suburbs gettingpriority facilities. Since the new developmentat Yanchep has taken off, the council haven’tdone anything.”

Another Yanchep resident said: “We are theforgotten region, the council isn’t interested inwhat we need up here, it’s a disgrace. Weneed councillors that live in Yanchep or TwoRocks and willing to stand up for this region.”

INSIDEn Mayor / local councillors decline offer.

From the council meetings . . .Next Tuesday’s City of Wanneroocouncil meeting consists of 30different reports in a 416 pageagenda - Three of the reportsdirectly affect the North Ward.

The first report relates to the TwoRocks Coastal Management. Thereport states: “Council consideredreports in 2003 and 2004 andapproved the commissioning ofcoastal engineering consultantsto undertake a study of thecoastal erosion at Two Rocksnorth of the Two Rocks Marina.”

Due to unknown reasons, thestudy has been stagnant, untilrecently when the City ofWanneroo received a letter dated14 August 2012, from the Ministerfor Transport advising that a grantof $50,000 has been approved forthis project.

The grant provided partial fundingof the project, the council willneed to find the balance.

The exact cost of the coastalmanagement options isdependent of the adoption of asuitable option and detaileddesign/documentation.

Since the MRA study clearlyindicates that the Two RocksMarina has been the cause of thecoastal erosion to the north of themarina, it is the City of Wanneroo’sadministrations view that thecouncil is not liable to fund anycoastal erosion managementworks; budget provisions for suchworks should be made by the state

government as the owner of TwoRocks marina.

Administration’s recommendationto the council is: receive the M PRogers and Associates draftreport titled ‘Two Rocks CoastalManagement’ dated April 2014;authorise a presentation of therecommendations and coastalmanagement options at a publicmeeting; and undertake ongoingphotographic beach monitoringon a quarterly basis and followingmajor storm events, and six

monthly beach surveys to captureseasonal and long term changes.

ChangeroomsIn another report, the council willconsider the community’s requestto build Stage 2 of the OldhamReserve changerooms.

At last month’s City of Wanneroocouncil meeting the CEO, DanielSimms, was requested to preparea report detailing the council’sfinancial and resource capacitywithin the current works budget.

The report states: “Based on theindicative project schedule the(Oldham Reserve) project wouldnot be completed prior to thecommencement of the 2015winter season.”

A demountable facility has beenoffered as an alternative at a costof $100,000, while the councilseeks partial funding from theDepartment of Sports andRecreation’s facility funding tobuild the permanent $295,000facility at some time in the future.

Behind closed doorsThe council will consider threereports behind closed doors - (i)Offer to purchase 196 GnangaraRoad, Landsdale; (ii) Contractualdispute related to KingswayRegional Sporting Complex; and(iii) CEO’s annual review.

The council does not provide anydetails to the general publicrelated to these importantdecisions. The council’s decisionis published one week after thecouncil meeting.

Civic centreextensionOnly months ago, the councilagreed to extensive extension tothe Wanneroo Civic Centre atDundebar Road.

The building is less than 20 yearsold and considered by some tohave been ‘under-built’ in 1999,and without sufficient foresight tothe future of the City of Wannerooand its residents.

Originally built for about $20million, the extensions have beenestimated to cost at least a further$25 million.

The council is expected to accepta quote submitted by WTPartnership Aust P/L of $212,214to design the new facility, which isscheduled to be completed byJuly 2017.

Tender prices submitted rangedfrom $179,000 to $240,800.

Jailed over quad bike accidentA 22-year-old man has beenjailed for four years over aquad bike crash that killed an18-year-old woman nearLancelin, north of Perth.

Joshua Bonjour was foundguilty of dangerous drivingcausing the death of JodieMaree Worthington.

Ms Worthington was a pillionpassenger on Bonjour's quadbike when it hit a car on a dirttrack in September 2012.

The District Court heard thebike was not designed tocarry passengers, Bonjourwas travelling at speed, andMs Worthington was notwearing a helmet.

Jurors were told that in theminutes before the crashBonjour had been capturedon security footage speedingand doing burnouts.

At the time of the crashBonjour was on a four-yearsuspended jail term for astring of offences includingreckless driving, driving undersuspension and burglary.

District Court Judge PatrickO'Neal imposed another 18months for those offences, inaddition to the four-year termfor the dangerous drivingcausing death offence,bringing Bonjour's totalsentence to five-and-a-halfyears.

Judge O'Neal told Bonjour:"You were intentionally drivingin a reckless way for the thrillof it."

"Had you been travelling atthe proper speed with propercontrol ... there would havebeen no collision at all," hesaid.

Judge O'Neal said Bonjour'syouth was the "single mostimportant" mitigating factorand he had to be "mindful ofthe prospect of hisrehabilitation".

Earlier, Ms Worthington'smother, Paula Purcell, read avictim impact statement to the

court saying "it was importantfor me that the personresponsible understandswhat he's done".

Ms Purcell described herdaughter as ‘perfect’ and her‘best friend’.

She said she cried everydayand was "consumed" aboutwhy she could not see herdaughter and tell her sheloved her.

"It kills me inside everydaythat her future was taken fromher," she said.

"I wish I could change thingsor somehow take her place".

With time already served,Bonjour's earliest releasedate is in 2017, whichangered Ms Worthington'sgrandfather Barry.

Outside the court, he said hecould not believe thesentence.

"He's already had a previousconviction suspendedsentence for four years, howdoes it work? I'd like to know,"he said.

Rescued fishermandies in Perth hospitalA man left in a critical condition after he and hisneighbour were rescued from waters has diedin hospital.

David Navin, 38, and Ivan Hallissey, 36, woundup in the ocean several kilometres west of TwoRocks on the morning of Monday 1 September,after a wave swamped their 5.8m vessel, whichhad been recently purchased.

They were rescued after an emergency beaconon their boat was activated.

Both were wearing life jackets, but Mr Navin wasunconscious and was taken in a critical conditionto Joondalup Health Campus.

Both men suffered vapour burns from fuel fromthe boat that had spilled into the water.

Mr Navin died in hospital last Friday afternoon.

"With his family's permission, organs wereretrieved earlier today and donated fortransplantation," a spokesman for JoondalupHealth Campus said in a statement.

"The family asks for privacy at this time."

Water police and the Department of Transportare investigating exactly what happened, but atthis stage police are unsure exactly where theboat sank and do not know if it will be recovered.

At this stage they said there was no indicationsit was not seaworthy.

Sgt Wear said: "They have done the right thing,they have the safety equipment, they have lifejackets on. It goes to show that no matter whatthe conditions, you always have to be mindful ofthe ocean and have all the right safetyequipment on board. They are lucky to be foundbut it shows the search and rescue system wehave and all the safety equipment they had onboard (works), that's why we were able to findthem."

Cassilda ParkSince the Sun City Newsasked some questions,Cassilda Park has beeninspected and mowed.

Sadly, once again, the vergeson the north side and the eastside (Hardy Crt.) wereneglected (not mowed). Thisis the second time in a rowthat this has occurred.

The time before that, a verygood job was done – So it’snot ‘too difficult’.

Is this an oversight(contractor short cuts), aconsidered decision or adeliberate vindictive act?

None of our volunteer trees(mainly Tuarts) have beenreplaced at this stage.

I would like to see a big shakeup in the City of Wanneroo’sc o n s e r v a t i o n / p a r k sdepartment.

Community consultationneeds to be increased andlistened to.

As one City of Wanneroo staffmember said: “I don’t get paidenough to think aboutanything special for thecommunity.”

We were making progresswith some tables and benchseats for Cassilda park. I wassent an aerial photo of thepark – Locals could considerwhere we wanted them.

Sadly, Chris Round put anend to this. I hope we seemore community developmentactivity locally – It has beenso hard to make anyprogress, there are so manyhurdles.

Perhaps we will ‘come of age’when we get a servicestation.

I have raised this withYanchep Sun City on severaloccasions – All I hear isexcuses.

Two Rocks has been muchneglected from day one, weseem to be low priority.

Shade and shelter along walkways and cycle ways are arequirement. Not to mentionbus stop shelters along TwoRocks Road.

People walking from one endof Two Rocks to the other,don’t know where to ‘spend apenny’.

Conservation fencing alongwalkways prevents oneducking into the bush andachieves little butexpenditure.

John Clarke, Two Rocks.

Please explainCan anybody explain to me,why was it necessary for thefooty club executivecommittee to present thepetition in person with no helpfrom the North Wardcouncillors?

Is this an example of themountain going toMohammed?

Well done!

Did Linda Aitken (North wardcouncilor) even know what itwas, and why it was needed,when she presented anamendment to approve theextension depending onfunding in 2015/16, perhaps?

Could it be that it was just aruse not to do anything?Does she even know whereOldham Park is and what it isused for?

Where was North Wardcouncilor, Norm Hewer, whenhe was needed?

I am wondering why theMayor, Tracey Roberts,supported this (I believehastily compiled) amendmentso whole heartedly?

Hats off to the South Wardcouncilor, Brett Treby, whotook the time and hisexperience as a councilor tosuggest a better course ofaction to the North Wardcouncilors. Good stuffCouncilor Treby!

As the council could find thegenerous funds to fundthemselves, I believe thatthey can find the funds tofund a 10x10 multi-purposebuilding for Oldham Park.

Martina Thomas, Two Rocks.

Need fuel stationI am seeking the community’sopinion on the lack of a fuelservice station in Two Rocks.

Currently, as you are aware,there is some distance totravel to an operating servo. Ifgoing north or east, the firstavailable ones are in Lancelinor Gingin.

Considering the rapid growthof Two Rocks and the nearbyarea of Breakwater Drive aservo is urgently needed.

There is ample space to fitone into the current shoppingcentre car park.

So my question is, When arewe likely to get one, if at all?

Les Couzens, Two Rocks.

Thank youA sincere thank you to all whoattended the service that washeld on Wednesday 3September, at the MemorialWall located at the YanchepSports Club to pay ourrespects to all who took partin the Battle for Australia andto all merchant seamen whopaid dearly with their livesduring war time.

EditorialNewspaper editors are always looking at betterand different ways to provide their readers withthe best local news possible.

Recently, after the City of Wanneroo councilmade the decision to stop proving theirfortnightly “Wanneroo Link’ in the Sun City News,I offered the Mayor, Tracey Roberts, and bothNorth Ward councillors, Norm Hewer and LindaAitken, the opportunity to publish a regularMayor and/or councillor column, free of charge.

What politician wouldn’t jump at a freeopportunity to highlight what is happening?

To date, neither the Mayor, or the two wardcouncillors, have replied directly to this offer.

The City of Wanneroo’s manager forcommunications and events and customerrelations, Robert ‘Bob’ Figg, forwarded an emailstating: “Thank you for the offer of free space fora column for the Mayor or elected members.

“However, after consultation with the CEO andMayor the City does not feel it is appropriate totake up advertising space that you couldotherwise use to attract revenue.”

What a joke - I wouldn’t have offered theopportunity, if we weren’t prepared to carry thecost of publishing the proposed column.

To me, it just goes to show how little the Mayorand North Ward councillors care about residentsand ratepayers in the outer northern suburbs.

Or am I expecting too much from our highly paidelected representatives?

Do you feel our elected local councillors aredoing the job they got elected for? Would youvote for them again? How have you beentreated by our elected representatives?

I welcome your comments, letters and concerns,I can be contacted on 9561 2500 or at [email protected], and please include yourname, address and contact details.

Seabird Tavernliquidators’ reportThe latest liquidators update reportrelating to the closure andbankruptcy of the Seabird Tavern,owned by Midpoint Investments PtyLtd, as trustee for the SeabirdInvestment Unit Trust, has just beenreleased.

The Melsom Robson CharteredAccountants report states that allunsecured creditors will not receiveany dividends from the liquidation ofthe business.

The Australian Taxation office isowed over $171,000, with a further$19,116.60 for superannuation andjust under $2,000 solicitors account.

The report states the National Bankappointed KPMG as receivers andmanagers to deal with the sale of theproperty.

The property was sold in September2013 with no surplus funds arisingfrom the sale.

Oddly, it appears there was a priorsale of the property , with the depositbeing paid by the way of gemstones.

It has been claimed that thegemstones were worth $600,000,however there is uncertainty as totheir true value.

Purchaser, Freah Pty Ltd, thendecided not proceed with the dealdue to a problem with the sewercapability, claiming inter alia thatMidpoint had misrepresented theposition.

David Hicks, director for liquidatedMidpoint has argued that Freah PtyLtd conducted acts of ‘deceit’ and‘dishonesty’ which lead to thecancellation of the contract andsubsequent liquidation.

Whitepartners, business brokers andreal estate agents who are inpossession of the gemstones havestated that unless there is agreementbetween Freah Pty Ltd and DavidHicks, director of Midpoint, to refundthe gemstones; Whitepartners willretain possession in the absence of acourt order to do so.

The National Bank have advised thatthey don’t have any interest in thegemstones or any other assets.

The issue is currently in the hands ofFreah Pty Ltd to commence courtaction.

The liquidator is bereft of funds andis not in a position to participate inthe action. The liquidator, however,invites any other party who have aninterest in the matter to makesubmissions to the court.

The liquidator is waiting for theownership of the gemstones to beresolved before they are able toconvene the final meeting ofcreditors.

The finalisation timeframe isunknown until the ownership of thegemstones is resolved.

Amazing photo from GDCProfessional photographer, David Savage,recently snapped this amazing photo at theGingin Gravity Discovery Centre.

The photo consists on a well-plannedtimelapse set up - The start trail shot is madeup of 100 individual 30 second long exposuresthat are then blended using dedicated trailsoftware to create the trail.

It would have been possible to achieve thesame image in just one 50 minute longexposure, however by using the compositingtechnique it gives the option to make a shottimelapse movie, or use an individual imageshowing the in blurred stars.

To take this kind of image you shoot at a highISO. ISO is the sensitivity of the sensor to light,the higher the number, the more sensitive thecamera is to light. In the case of the star trailshot the ISO was set to 3200. The aperture onof the lens was set to f2.8; this allows the mostlight into the camera during the exposure, andthe shutter speed was set to 30 seconds.

The 30 second exposure time was selectedbecause this allows enough time for the camerato record the light, without the stars starting toshow the effects of the earths rotation.

The camera was mounted on a tripod, set tocontinuous drive mode and the cable releasewas locked on for the camera to shoot away.

Due to the fact that it was a cold nightcondensation forming on the lens was anissue. To prevent this, a disposable chemicalhand warmer was secured onto the lens usinga rubber band. The warmth from the handwarmer helps to prevent the lens from becometoo cold.

Market gardener serious flight riskCarabooda market gardener,Michael Le, at the centre of analleged illegal worker racketwas described in the PerthMagistrate’s Court, last week,as a ‘significant flight risk’,after he asked for permissionto travel to Vietnam.

Michael Le was seekingchanges to his bail conditionsso he could fly overseas forbusiness.

The Director of PublicProsecutions opposed thechange, despite Mr Le vowingto return to Perth.

Mr Le and his brother, Canh,have been charged withmoney laundering, andharbouring unlawful non-citizens after a multi-agencyraid on their Caraboodaproperty in May.

Police allege the pair ran acriminal empire through theirbusiness interests in primaryproduce, construction and theentertainment industry.

Mr Le’s lawyer, Laurie Levy,revealed the brothers had losta $7.2 million Woolworthscontract and a $3 million IGAcontract after they werearrested and charged.

He told the court Mr Leneeded to travel to Vietnam toaddress problems with theconstruction and export armof their business empire.

Mr Levy said his client had‘enormous incentive’ to returnto Perth because hiscompany was building a $12million medical centre inKarrinyup and ownedfarmland valued at $32million.

Mr Le was born in Vietnamand became an Australianafter migrating to Perth in theearly 1980s.

The court was told his Koreanborn wife was currently livingoverseas with their twochildren.

Prosecutor, Sarah Oliver, saidMr Le had strong ties outsideAustralia and could easily liveoverseas for an extendedperiod.

She said Mr Le was facing along term of imprisonment if hewas convicted of the charges.

Magistrate Colin Roberts saidMr Le would be required toproduce a $2 million suretyand adjourned the hearing until11 September, to give him timeto find the surety bond.

During this time, Mr Le’sdefence will also be seekingthe return of mobile phonesand other property seizedduring the raid in May.

Terry George is organising a‘Beach Clean Up’ at Yanchep onSunday 12 October, starting at10.00am at the CapricornEsplanade beach access.

Plastic forms the majority, about80 per cent, of the rubbishdumped into the oceans. Of thisten per cent consists of plasticbags.

The plastic does break intosmaller and smaller pieces, viainteraction with sunlight and saltwater, however in some areasof the ocean there is denseparticulate pollution of plasticforming what is classed as aplastic island.

This breaking down processtakes a long time and in thattime causes havoc with wildlife.

The plastic poisons, entangles,causes painful intestinalobstructions and death of a varietyof marine animals, such as turtles,sea birds, whale and seals.

The plastics can be passed onfrom one generation to anotherwhen parents regurgitatestomach contents to feed young.

remove the graffiti and clean upthe site, install lighting, addinterpretive signage of the historyand significance, and create amural art wall.

He then stated that CapricornVillage Joint Venture didn’t ownany of the town centre site or theAtlantis Marine Park site were theKing sits, but they would workwith the owners and the City ofWanneroo to develop thesecommunity initiatives.

The two key people behindAcumen are Nick Perrignon andJarrod Rendell.

Give way to ducklings

Spring has sprung in the Perthmetro area with ducklings startingto emerge from their nests insearch of the nearest wetland,prompting a reminder from theDepartment of Parks and Wildlifefor people to exercise caution onroads near water bodies.

Wildlife officer, Emma Lipianin,said ducks often nested in treehollows a considerable distanceaway from the water and oncetheir young hatched, mothers hada long journey ahead of them tobring their ducklings to thenearest wetland.

“This often results in the ducklingsattempting to cross roads andcycle paths as they try to get totheir destination,” she said.

“Ducks on the move have beenknown to bring major highwaysand even the Mitchell Freeway toa halt, so we ask motorists andcyclists to try and avoid themwithout endangering themselvesor other road users,” she said.

“While the sight of fluffy ducklingswaddling along after their motheris one of nature’s great displays, itcan also be a major hazard.

“It is best that they are not disturbedwhile in such a vulnerable state, sowe encourage people not toapproach them, feed them orinterfere with them in any way.”

Ms Lipianin said it also was not

uncommon to see ducks and theirhatchlings in backyard swimmingpools.

“If this occurs, we recommendthat people leave gates open ifpool access can be supervisedand encourage them to leave,without chasing them, so they canfind suitable nearby wetlands,”she said.

To report sick or injured wildlife,call the department’s WildcareHelpline on 9474 9055.

Fireworks night inNeergabby

Merriment, mirth and mayhemamong comical confusionComedy chaos comes to Wanneroo'sLimelight Theatre this October in a show forlovers of old-fashioned farce.

Written by veteran playwright Ray Cooneyand his son Michael, Tom, Dick and Harryis the story of Tom Kerwood and his wifetrying to adopt a baby, but their attempts toimpress a busybody social worker arejeopardised by Tom’s useless brothers Dickand Harry.

Their antics involve illegal immigrants, theRussian mafia and local police, as well asa dead body they plan on selling to amedical school.

“Throw a few Croatian stowaways into themix and you have the makings of ahilarious evening,” director Bob Mainwaringsays.

“It’s a bit of a change to have a farce whichis not a ‘trouser-dropping comedy’, so tospeak.

“I was attracted to the integrity of the writersand their commitment to giving a balancedmix of visual and verbal humour ineveryday situations.”

Involved in professional and communitytheatre for 65 years, Mainwaring has

directed and performed in a veritableplethora of productions across a range ofstyles.

Over the past 18 years, he has scoredthree award hat-tricks at Limelight Theatre,picking up best actor in a major role, bestdirector and best set three times each.

With Tom, Dick and Harry, which hasappeared in London’s West End,Mainwaring believes his main challenge isthe timing.

“The key is orchestrating it effectivelyduring fast-moving action, matched with thesmooth use of special effects and a fairlylarge cast on stage at any one time. Farceis a challenge in many ways because paceand timing are vital to carry the plot beforethe audience catches on to just how daft itmay be,” he said.

Tom, Dick and Harry plays at 8pm October2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18. Tickets canbe booked by calling 9571 8591 between9am and midday, Monday to Friday, or atwww.limelighttheatre.com.

A Big Thank You to the Gingin Community

The 2014 Gingin DHS Gala, held on Saturday 23rdAugust, was a marvelous success in bringing all of theGingin community together and raised over $30,000.

The Gala was attended by more than 170 people fromacross the school and broader community. The

atmosphere and catering were fantastic with a delicioustwo course meal prepared from local donated produce,

whilst the Recereation Centre hall and front roomdecorations set a great vibe for the night. A popular

finish to the dinner was a dessert dash, which includedlocal cooks donating a dessert and tables bidding for the right to choose their dessert first. The lemon tart took first prize cooked by Nicole Hendry Butler, who

also happened to be the co-ordinating cook anddecorator of the evening meal and surrounds.

Emma Mitchell, the P&C co-ordinator of the eveningthanked all those who had supported the evening either

through donations or attendance and explained the main purpose of the evening was for fundraising for a playground for the older primary school students. The Gingin P&C had over 120 items donated from local business, local families, Gingin DHS students and teachers which were well received by all those

that attended. Items included private dance lessons,face painting, star gazing, local beef and pork producermeat vouchers, mosaic lessons, mountains of manure,

man cave hampers, WWII memorabilia, fantastic artcreated by Gingin DHS students and Moore River

holidays. The most popular item was the Garden ArtHand Sculpture created by the Year 7 Art Class.

The P and C were exceptionally happy with the night and thanked all those that attended and donated.
