The only local community newspaper distributed every second Thursday in Carramar, Neerabup, Nowergup, Carabooda, Alkimos, Eglington, Two Rocks, Yanchep, Woodridge, Guilderton, Gabbadah, Sovereign Hill Estate, Redfi eld Park Estate, Seabird, Ledge Point, Lancelin, Gingin and Wannamal.

FACILITIES CLOSINGOver the past couple of weeks, there have been a number of changes in the Capricorn Village Joint Venture holdings - Firstly a couple of weeks ago, all local user groups that had been coaxed into using the Capricorn Community House have been given notice to vacate by 30 June, so Capricorn can sell the residential home.

Last week, about 30 employees from Club Capricorn Resort were told the resort will be closing.

In a short media statement released jointly by Capricorn Village Joint Venture (CVJV) and Yanchep Sun City (YSC), it stated: “Club Capricorn is closing to make way for an exciting new coastal development.

“Currently, the land on which Club Capricorn is situated is owned by CVJV but leased to YSC who operate the resort.

“However, the majority of the resort’s land will form part of an extension of CVJV’s highly successful Capricorn Yanchep beachside community.

“CVJV have formally notifi ed YSC that it intends to commence works within the land of Club Capricorn therefore triggering the closure process.

“According to CVJV, although regrettable, the proposed closure of Club Capricorn will benefi t the community in the longer term as it forms part of an important element of Yanchep’s growth and renewal.

“CVJV is currently fi nalising the structure plan for this important coastal node and also the nearby neighbourhood retail centre. These plans provide the framework for the entertainment, tourism, commercial and recreational uses that will be developed over these keys areas. Residential development is already occurring within parts of the landholding and the area will continue to evolve into an exciting coastal precinct over the next fi ve to ten years.”

The Sun City News understands attempts to keep Club Capricorn Resort open and embark on a major revamp was not acceptable to CVJV.

Under the Heritage Act of Western Australia, the City of Wanneroo is require to maintain its Municipal Heritage Inventory in which Club Capricorn Resort is registered as Category 3 and future planning for the site requires assessing for impact to the heritage site.

Many local groups and residents believe community and local tourism assets are being sacrifi ced for basic residential development.

On the council agendaLast Wednesday, Seabird residents protested outside the Shire of Gingin administration offi ce as frustration mounts over the lack of State and local government action over the ongoing coastal erosion at this seaside village.

Shire president, called a special meeting of the council for the next day to consider releasing funds for temporary work to slow the erosion. However, he said Stage Government permission would be needed for the works to be carried out.

“What we’re going to do is look at releasing funds for temporary emergency work.”

At the special council meeting, former shire president, Wayne Fewster, asked the council: “I have grave concerns over the continued patch-up remedial work carried out at Seabird and the precedent it sets for future councils. As I see it, the erosion at Seabird is nothing more than a natural disaster, similar to fl oods, fi re, cyclone storms or earthquake. If council was to contribute to Seabird, then surely it opens the door to all affected by the above to also claim.

“Has council sought legal advice on the precedent the remedial works will set for future councils?”

Shire of Gingin chief executive offi cer, Jeremy Edwards, responded: “As Mr Fewster would be aware, all legal advice

is confi dential. However, council has been fully briefed by its legal advisors and has also received comprehensive advice from its insurers in relation to this matter.”

The council then proceeded to authorise an unbudgeted expenditure of $50,000 from it 2014/15 budget to enable emergency short term response to erosion on unallocated Crown Land on the condition that the expenditure is not started until the State Government has confi rmed it’s preparedness to take positive action to address the situation.

Wanneroo meetingNext Tuesday, the City of Wanneroo will hold its monthly council meeting at Gumblossom Community Centre, 17 Tapping Way, Quinns Rocks, starting at 7.00pm.

Currently the agenda has 30 reports for consideration plus fi ve to be deliberated behind closed doors under confi dential matters.

In a report about the Marimon Avenue extension to build the two new Yanchep sporting ovals, the council will consider accepting the agreed cost of $1,650,592.05 to build the extension.

The road costs are to be shared 50/50 between the City of Wanneroo and Yanchep Beach Joint Venture, subject to completion of the Developer Contribution Plan for Yanchep-Two Rocks - The Sun City News

understands this is all but completed with only a couple of minor issues.

In another report the council will consider an update on the $27m Wanneroo Civic Centre extension which will be completed by October 2017.

In another report, a number of community grant applications will be considered, including: $1,500 to the Two Rocks Primary School for ‘Drumbeat’ to be performed at the school on 23 June 2015; $3,000 to Atlantis Productions for the stage performance of Oliver Twist between 4 November to 9 November 2015, in the Phil Renkin Centre; and $785.96 to Two Rocks Yanchep Assisted Cancer Travels Inc (TRYACT Inc) for ‘On the Buses’ from 1 June 2015 to 31 December 2015.

In another report the council will consider the Review of Council Members’ Fees, Allowances, Reimbursements and Benefi ts - This policy determines what wage increases and benefi ts the mayor and councillors will receive for the next 12 months.

The Salaries and Allowances Tribunal’s recommendation includes the minimum and maximum amounts of fees, to be paid to the Mayor and Elected Members for attendance at meetings; the amount of expenses, or the minimum and maximum amounts of expenses, to be reimbursed to the mayor

and each councillor; and the amount of allowances to be paid to each Elected Members.

The report does not specifi cally detail what the increases being recommended are, but the City of Wanneroo has always voted to pay themselves the maximum available.

Behind closed doors council will consider the following reports: construction of Flynn Drive update; drainage agreement at Willespie Park, Pearsall; offer to purchase Lot 501 Hampton Road, Darch; coastal infastructure update; and Yanchep active open space oval groundworks costs.

Mayor Tracey Roberts has indicated she will present a Motion on Notice regarding setting up a feasibility study for the installation of shark barriers at City of Wanneroo beaches.

Gingin meetingAt last Tuesday’s Shire of Gingin council meeting the council deliberated on 12 different reports including one report behind closed doors.

The council considered a report to determine the 2015/16 differential rating to provide council with the fl exibility in the level of rates raised from specifi cally identifi ed properties or groups of properties within the community.

The council’s recommendation is

for a seven per cent increase to be included in the draft 2015/16 Budget, with one per cent of this increase being set aside in a new reserve for future infrastructure requirements, including renewal, upgrade and new asset purchases.

The proposed rate increase is consistant with the Shire’s adopted 2014/15 budget.

In another report, council reconsidered an application for planning approval for an addition to a single house with reduced setbacks on Lot 51 Brockman Street, Guilderton, as requested under the State Administrative Tribunal Act 2004.

Council considered two retrospective planning applications at two different locations - To build a cattle holding pen at Gingin abattoir; and intensive agriculture on Lot 53 Wanerie Road, Wanerie, increasing the cultivation area from 44 hectares to 70 hectares.

Behind closed doors council considered a report related to the disposal of disposition of Lot 100 Lefroy Street, Gingin.

National championLocal Yanchep District High School student, Jorden Cergogna, recently competed in the Little Athletics National Championships, winning gold in the 200 metre sprint event and collecting two silver medals - 400 metres and 400 metre relay.

Thirteen year old Jorden only started Little Athletics earlier this year and within eight months has achieved the highest possible goal.

Jorden is a member of the Yanchep Dolphins Little Athletics Club, training at Oldham Reserve and competes at the Ridgewood facility.

Next year, Jorden is hoping to compete in the Australian Little Athletics titles, both nationally and internationally.

For a region that has no dedicated junior sporting facilities, many Yanchep and Two Rocks young people have excelled. This is testament to the dedicated local club’s efforts and volunteers who help out each week.

28 year old chargedA 28 year old female has been arrested in relation to a series of stealing offences at BWS liquor stores in both Yanchep and Two Rocks.

A subsequent investigation identifi ed several people and a vehicle.

Multiple resources were deployed to locate and apprehend the offenders, which included Police Airwing, Clarkson Police offi cers and North West Metropolitan Response offi cers.

The 28 year old was charged with 17 offences including contravening a Barring Notice (Liquor Control Act), which prevented her from entering any licensed premises, including bottle shops.

Her bail was refused and she appeared in the Joondalup Magistrates Court the following day where she was remanded in custody.

Police are close to apprehending the remaining co-offenders. Over $3000 worth of alcohol was stolen.

In another incident, two 14 year old females were apprehended breaking into to the Yanchep Central Shopping Centre - They caused considerable damage.

Yanchep police have invested considerable time either investigating offences committed by juveniles or engaging with respective families to identify factors for the offending.


Dose of Dorin

Your letters & emailsNational tourist attraction or rubbish tip?Anyone who has travelled along Marmion Avenue would have to be aware of the appalling amount of rubbish accumulating along the sides of the road on a daily basis.

Whether it’s people deliberately throwing rubbish out of vehicles or failing to secure the contents on trailers does not matter, the lack of respect for our community is obvious.

Just walk along Peony Boulevard and check out the rubbish littering it, the shopping centre does not seem to take any responsibility for cleaning up the rubbish.

This is a disgrace, shame on people who carelessly or deliberately add to the piles of rubbish spoiling our town.

What impact this has on visitors and tourist impressions is not hard to imagine.

I would like to bet that the people responsible are never amongst the small group of mainly retirees who turn up and try to clean up the road sides of Yanchep and Two Rocks.

So, next time you get the urge to declutter your car just take your rubbish home and next time there is a community clean up, turn up and help.

We live in the lucky country. Each of us has a personal

responsibility to do whatever we can to protect our environment and the right to enjoy the place we have chosen to live in free of this visual pollution.Jayne Senior, via website.

ShameShame on all those who still let their animals defecate all over the lawns and pathways in our town.

Even though owners spend many hours keeping their properties looking good, thoughtless people expect ‘someone else’ to clean up their often human size dog poos.

Don’t we have a responsibility to keep our town clean?

God help us in the coming years when thousands of people take up residence here!

I, personally, feel sick to my stomach walking past a pile of faeces every few metres.

Most dog owners are happy to use the bags provided around our beaches. Is it really so hard for the others too?Suzi Logue, Two Rocks.

Developer promisesThe original Yanchep Satelitte City plan showed the Club Capricorn site as a ‘tourist node’.

It was described as the ‘Cottesloe of the north’, Capricorn Village Joint Venture,

under Dr Russel Perry even tried to get the new surf life saving facilites built at Club Capricorn.

It is quite obvious under the new management regime, Acumen, are chasing KPIs with less emphasises on the local community.

The closing of Club Capricorn and dumping of local access to Capricorn Community House is a bitter pills for the community to accept - But hey, have you seen a developer yet who really cares about the community they are invading?

All so often, they promise the world until they fi nish their development, then bye-bye.

Satterley development in Butler is one of the few exceptions - neither Capricorn Village Joint Venture or Acumen are in the league of Satterley.

Not one more residential home should be approved until the developers, state government and local council deliver on the tourism promises, the employment promises, and the arts and cultural promises.

Talk is cheap for a developer, let’s see some ticker and delivery of your long term promises.

Name & address supplied.

Last week, West Australia’s Minister for Education, Peter Collier, announced a new secondary school would be built in Yanchep by 2019.

He said the area was undergoing unprecedented growth and it was important to build a senior high school for the community.

“The school in Yanchep will feature specialist facilities, including science laboratories and technology workshops.”

The current Yanchep District High School which was described by the Minister for Education ‘as the worst in WA’, has experienced rapid growth in students in recent years and now has 667 students from kindergarten to Year 10.“The existing school does not have the specialist facilities to meet their needs and students have also had to move to another school for Years 11 and 12,” Mr Collier said.

State Treasurer, Mike Nahan, said that stage one of the new secondary school was set to open in 2019, for students from Years 7 to 11, with space for 725 students.

“Yanchep is no longer a country town, and a district high school has no place in what is effectively outer metropolitan Perth,” Dr Nahan said.

Yanchep District High School will revert to being a dedicated primary school.

For more than 12 months, John Quigley has been working with parents and school groups to fi rstly get the upgrades promised for Yanchep DHS, and to get a new secondary school built.

Only last month, in state parliament, Mr Quigley embarrassed the Premier, Colin Barnett; the State Treasurer and the Education Minister with reports about the conditions and facilities at Yanchep.

Many locals believe Mr Quigley has embarrassed the Education Minister, Peter Collier, into making this announcement in attempts to ‘kill off’ Mr Quigley’s effective campaigning. Angry parents hijacked the announcement of a new school and called for immediate upgrades at Yanchep DHS.Parents said the promise was of little help to current students in sub-standard, demountable classrooms.Mother, Kim Garbutt, who has two sons at the school, and said population growth made a new high school inevitable, but the government should also be fi xing the existing school.“So he’s only offering us something that we would have already got. What we need funding (for) now is the school,” she said.

“Now he knows the school needs funding because he offered us $10 million, three years ago, two

years ago, and took it away. What we need is that money back now to fi x the school now.”

Mr Collier said coping with continued high population growth in the northern suburbs and the movement of more children into public schools was a major challenge.

“We looked at the options over the last two years, in terms of providing a $10 million to $20 million upgrade of Yanchep District High School or building a brand new school,” he said.

“We chose the latter and we think that is money well spent.”

But Ms Garbutt said she believed it should not be an either/or choice and that the Government should be doing both.

More of your letters & emailsBloody developmentWell, it was inevitable that we should lose another icon of our area in favour of yet more and more houses - With its beautiful gardens hotel and quaint ‘cottages’ gone, we have lost a valuable piece of history in our area.

Many of us have used the resort for a variety of functions, art shows, a place for overseas friends to experience our coastline without having to go to the expense of upmarket accomodation, acess to the groyne for fi shing and much more.

It is always a pleasure to drive past the resort, often we have been lucky to see the emus that made the grounds their home.

Recently I saw them up near the golf course estate, vainly seeking the bush that supports them - We lose yet another treasure.

Yanchep and Two Rocks are undergoing rapid change. We begin to understand what the future holds.

What a shame in the face of all this ‘development’, the developers can’t see past their bank balance and leave us a small part of our beloved areas.

When our resort goes and a sea of houses, apartments, a ‘village centre’ and the like represent the landscape, as the estates along Marmion Ave do, where is our tourism?

Very little will be left to ensure

our area stays unique in the light of sprawing suburbia, extending kilometres from the CBD.

It truly breaks my heart to witness it, I have to laugh when I read that the developers assure us that ‘we will benefi t in the long run!’

No more cabin 57 - Oh no!

Has anyone seen the Sun City golf course lately? The extension of Jindowie opposite? What do you think of the disappearing topography?

I guess we small and insignifi cant residents have no say in how we see the future for our area. Sure, we have to accept ‘progress’ but at what cost?Name and address supplied.

Fundraiser after tragic death

After the tragic death of Kyle Wittstock in a paragliding accident at Yanchep in April, a group of locals have banded together to raise funds for his fi ancée, Kelley, and their ten week old baby daughter, Kiara.

This fundraiser will be held at the Locals Juice Bar in the Yanchep Light Industrial

Area, starting at 10.00am with a plenty of activities, including an auction with some amazing products, services and vouchers donated by local businesses.

All funds raised will be given directly to Kelley and Kiara to help them make it through this tough time.

Community grants for Jindowie residents

Local Yanchep residents now have a rainwater tank at the community garden thanks to the latest round of grants distributed by Jindowie Estate in collaboration with the Department of Housing and project manager, Australand.

The new 3,000 litre tank will help keep the community garden behind the Yanchep Central Shopping Centre thriving.

Australand Development Director Justin Crooks said Jindowie Estate is committed to supporting the local community as it continues to establish itself as a great place to live.

“The new addition of the water tank will ensure crops receive enough water to grow by capturing and storing rainwater for use in the warmer months,” Mr Crooks said.

“We are very pleased to support the fantastic efforts of the volunteers working in the community garden, which provides a wonderful meeting place for neighbours and friends.”

Garden coordinator, Gail Harris, also welcomed the water tank and its much-needed contribution towards the growth and success of the free community facility.

“Without this water tank, the garden would not have survived the hot, dry summer,” Ms Harris said.

Other organisations to benefi t from the grants program include Yanchep Surf Lifesaving Club, Yanchep United Football Club, Playmates Group, North Coastal Women’s Shed and the Jindowie Residents’ Association.

“We recognise the community of Jindowie is constantly evolving and we are proud to support its needs in whatever way we can,” said Mr Crooks.

Applications for the next round of grants open soon. For further information visit www.jindowie.com.au.

National Walk Safely to School DayPrimary school aged children across Australia will make those important steps towards a healthier future by participating in National Walk Safely to School Day this Friday - 22 May.

National Walk Safely to School Day is a community initiative that aims to raise awareness of the health, road safety, transport and environmental benefi ts that

regular walking, especially to and from school, can provide for the long term health of our children.

The annual event, now in its 16th year, encourages primary school aged children to walk to and from school, not just on Friday, but every day.

Children require at least 60 minutes per day of physical activity and regular walking is the best exercise for all of us.

Children are encouraged to lead a more active lifestyle by including a walk at the beginning, during, and end of each day.

The event also promotes improved diets, positive environmental action, better use of public transport with reduced car-dependency and important road safety messages such as ‘children aged 10 years or under must

always hold the hand of an adult when crossing the road’.

If your school is participating, don’t forget to ‘snap a photo’ and submit it to the Sun City News at news@suncitynews. com.au.

The Sun City News always welcomes your local school articles and photos.

Walk a mile in their shoesEarlier this month, Harcourts staff across Australia, including our local offi ce, Harcourts Beachside, walked down a different path and joined forces with White Ribbon Australia to take a stand against violence.

In recognition that violence against women is, in fact, a community issue, ‘Walk a Mile in Their Shoes’ is an education and fundraising campaign led by the Harcourts Foundation in conjunction with Harcourts Real Estate to increase public awareness of the impact of violence against women in Australia.

Walk a Mile in Their Shoes took place across Australia on Friday 8 May. All participants were encouraged to wear heels and ‘walk a mile’, around 1.6

kilometres, along a designated public route, to show solidarity and draw attention to the cause, whilst working towards their goal of raising $100,000 for White Ribbon nationally.

All proceeds from this campaign will be donated to

White Ribbon’s ‘Break the Silence’ program in primary and secondary schools across Australia, aimed at creating generational change in attitudes toward violence.

Sports funding not enoughCity of Wanneroo Mayor, Tracey Roberts, says she will write to the Minister for Sport and Recreation seeking an increase in funding from the next round of State Government facilities grants.

The City of Wanneroo’s application in the latest round of Community Sport and Recreation Facilities grants included $98,334 for a multi-purpose room at Oldham Park.

The City has been granted $178,000 towards facilities at Warradale Park in Landsdale, but received no funding for Oldham Park.

“While we welcome the

allocated funding, there is signifi cant pressure on the City’s fi nancial capacity to deliver the sporting infrastructure required to cater for the needs of both our southern and northern residents in the fastest growing local government in Western Australia,” Mayor Roberts said.

“The City will not seek contributions from the benefi ting sporting clubs but will instead fund the $123,334 shortfall itself and deliver both projects in the original timeframe.”

The purpose of the grants is to provide state fi nancial assistance to community groups and local governments

to develop basic infrastructure for sport and recreation.

“While the Oldham Park project was eligible for funding through the CSRFF grant, the project was not deemed to be a priority.”

The Department of Sport and Recreation allocates about $20 million through the CSRFF grant annually.

The Sun City News understands the City of Wanneroo had originally received funding for Oldham Reserve, but failed to build the facility in the required time and the grant had to be given back to the State Government.

Open day for familiesFederal Member for Pearce, Christian Porter, will hold an Open Offi ce day on Thursday 11 June, for members of the community looking to understand more about the Coalition Government’s Jobs for Families package.

Mums, dads and other guardians living in all suburbs of the Pearce electorate are invited to attend the Open Day and ask any questions about how the new package may benefi t their family.

“The $4.4billion package delivered in the 2015 Budget

is about giving parents more choice and opportunity to work,” Mr Porter said. “All mums work hard, and many are also in paid employment. We want to make child care simpler, more affordable, more fl exible, and more accessible.

Mr Porter said families using child care in 2017, on family incomes of between $65,000 and $170,000 would be around $30 a week better off. Those on higher incomes would, on average, continue to receive the same level of support.

Families on incomes of less than $65,000 per year will

receive ongoing access to early childhood learning, and can be eligible for additional fi nancial support through the Child Care Safety Net.

Mr Porter said: “I understand that navigating the child care assistance system has, in the past, been a complicated minefi eld for many families. That’s why I will be available, along with my staff, to anyone with any questions about how the new system will work.

The Open Offi ce will take place at Christian Porter’s offi ce located at 3/28 Main Street, Ellenbrook, between 10.00am and 3.00pm.


Atlantis Productions kept busyAtlantis Productions co-ordinator, Ted Dowling, and Yanchep Two Rocks Recreation Association president, Ron Arnold, reported to the association’s monthly meeting that their negotiations with the City of Wanneroo were progressing and they were starting to establish a ‘Theatre Club’ to attract members of the community to enjoy theatre and leisure of their choice as well as attracting visiting performing groups.

To celebrate Atlantis Productions’ new home, they will be putting on

a two act play ‘The Allotement’ in August/September.

The production group is planning to stage a screen musical of Oliver in December, plus, a number of one off performances at various upcoming community events.

Mens & Womens ShedRon Arnold reported to the meeting that the City of Wanneroo was happy to look at a mens and womens shed facilities in Two Rocks.

The sticking point had been that no land was available, but Ron reported that his sons had offered to lease a 2.5 acre lot at SeaTrees Estate for a Mens and Womens Shed.

City of Wanneroo Director of Community Development, Fiona Hodges, confi rmed there had been an informal discussion about establishing these facilities in Two Rocks.

“The City is happy to work with community groups to provide them the guidance of facility

availability, funding opportunities, tools for engagement, volunteering opportunities and help to build their capacity to establish groups such as Mens Shed.”

Aged Friendly Communities Funding

The Shire of Gingin has received a $45,588 grant to improve pathway networks in the towns of Gingin and Lancelin.

The funding will assist the Shire to meet its commitment

in supporting aged friendly communities in the region.

Shire president, Michael Aspinall said: “This funding is most appreciated and will be very helpful in making our community a more connected place for our senior members.”

This project was made possible through the Wheatbelt Development Commission’s Aged Friendly Communities in Small Towns Small Value Grant Scheme which has been funded through Royalties for Regions.

Local ‘Vibe’ night

The region’s fi rst ever VIBE night event will held at the Phil Renkin Centre, Lisford Avenue, Two Rocks, on Saturday 13 June, from 7:30pm to 10:30pm. VIBE is an under age nightclub for teenagers. VIBE will have security, vibe is also a drug, smoke and alcohol free event.

Music will be provided by DJ Bunkz with latest club music and Dubstep. There will be plenty of giveaways, prizes plus glow-sticks available to purchase.

VIBE is for teenagers aged 13 - 17, tickets cost $10 per person which includes a hotdog and a can of drink. Tickets can be pre-purchased at www.facebook.com/pages/Vibe/1655036461382408

The VIBE night is being organised through the the Yanchep Two Rocks Community Association’s Youth Activities Program.

Quigley clarifi cationIn the 7 May edition of the Sun City News, local politician, John Quigley, was quoted as saying the Australia Post offi ce at Two Rocks doesn’t open Saturdays.

Mr Quigley wishes to clarify that: “The Two Rocks Australia Post/News Xpress newsagent is open on Saturdays. The Australia Post component of the store is open from 8.30am to 1.00pm and NewsXpress is open from 8.30am to 5.00pm.”

In State Parliament on Thursday 14 May, Mr Quigley and said: “Whilst this is a private business, and it is unusual to stand in this chamber and give recognition to a private business, it is an Australia Post shop and it is the only one that we have in the northern part of my electorate.

“When I was giving an interview on that to the local newspaper, from my car phone as I was driving along, I innocently gave

the wrong opening times for the Two Rocks post offi ce.

“I want to put on the public record that it is reliable and regular, open between 8.30am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday, and Saturday between 8.30am and 1.00 pm, whilst the newsagency stays open through to 5.30 pm.

“I am mortifi ed that I innocently gave the wrong opening times, but I have set that right here in Parliament today.”

On Saturday 16 May, last year’s CMCFL league grand fi nalists, the Lancelin Ledge Point Pirates and the Cervantes Tigersharks, met for the second time this season in a dogged affair. While the rain clouds disappeared shortly before bouncedown, the winds increased, confi ning almost all of the action to the southern end of the Pirates’ oval.

The Pirates won the toss and elected to kick with the strong wind. Brad French and ruck man Tyson Hodge were on fi re for Lancelin Ledge Point early. When Cervantes were able to run it out of defence, the wind and some solid Pirates’ defence saw it quickly returned to the danger zone and thanks to some sharp shooting from the likes of Jackson Harwood, Aaron Jarvis and Brad French, the Pirates were able to go to the fi rst break with a 5.2 to 0.0 lead.

The second quarter saw Cervantes have their turn with the wind. Tigershark Jarrod Best proved diffi cult to run down given all his impressive foot speed and a few minutes into the quarter, Cervantes’ Dylan Simmons goaled.

Many expected the team to pile on plenty more given the sheer strength of the wind, however, the Pirates surprised everyone when Jackson Harwood scored a goal into the breeze.

It would turn out to be the only goal kicked into the wind all day. Half way through the quarter, Harwood and Tigershark Michael Thompson, were both yellow-carded. Brent LeCras’ goaled for Cervantes, however, after that, neither team was able to goal again resulting in a half time scoreline of 6.3 to 2.7.

In the third quarter the wind increased in strength. The game became even scrappier with large packs fi ghting for the ball on the ground. Kade Morton and stalwart Tyson Lord, were strong for the Tigersharks but the hardest workers on the fi eld were the umpires, balling it up every minute or so such was the effect of the wind on play. The Pirates had ten shots on goal for the quarter but wasted most of them, kicking just 2.8 but keeping Cervantes scoreless.

Cervantes had the wind at the backs for the fi nal term but still faced the prospect of having to score 41 points and keeping the Pirates scoreless to win

In the fi rst nine minutes of the quarter Kade Morton, Tom Parker and Jarrod Best all goaled for the Tigersharks and they looked like they had a chance.

The wind was fi erce, pushing numerous Pirates’ kick-ins out on the full and many of Cervantes’ shots on goal, right. Pirates Captain Curtis Reddell, Daniel Hookway and Jesse Craig, were dour in defence.

Tyson Hodge took some telling defensive marks while Cervantes’ Brent LeCras uncharacteristically dropped marks and sprayed several shots right.

The Pirates kept Cervantes goal-less for the remainder of the quarter to runout 16 point winners, 8.12 (60) to 5.14 (44).

This was a trip of a lifetime for Venturer HeathThe Taylor family from Gingin, have just returned from a magical, mystic, fascinating, intriguing and medieval holiday to Nepal.

But with scouting in the back of their minds, they went up to a little piece of paradise called Astam surrounded by the majestic snow-capped Annapurna mountain ranges - They really did think they had died and gone to heaven.

The reason for choosing this part of the world was very special indeed, as Shree Bhumeshwor Lower Secondary School, is the sister school to Gingin District High School.

For many years, Barry Broomfi eld, the then deputy principal of Gingin District High School had said ‘one day we would have to come to visit’.

The Taylor family’s day had arrived, they spent nearly a month travelling Nepal.

But for Heath Taylor it held two special reasons for travelling to Nepal, one for the experience of travelling to a different country and two for doing some very important badge work within the venturing section of scouts, where Heath had to complete ten hours of work within the community for his service badge.

He actually did over and above that time, but who was counting.

Heath spent a week working with the villagers doing many different jobs.

The main project was to start building a basketball court up at the local school, with some very excited children indeed.

Heath’s mother, Jane said: “I can honestly say nothing happens in a hurry in Nepal, fi rst we had to decide on the correct spot, this involved lots of meetings with many people to decide on the best way to go about this.”

As everything in Nepal is done by manual labour this was not be an easy feat.

The river sand and river rocks were carted from the bottom of the mountain by tractor which took two hours per load to get back up the mountain.

Then they were dumped as close to the site as possible to be carted up the hill with a basket on

their backs full of rocks and sand. Sadly, they couldn’t manage more than one load as this was so hard and they are not used to this kind of work - The Napelese people are like machines. They took on the arduous task of moving a huge pile of rocks to the other end of the school, fi rst Heath and Jane started carrying arms full of rocks then, to their surprise the classroom doors opened and all the children came out to make a chain line to move the rocks. In this case many hands did make light work and it was such an incredible experience to work alongside these wonderful children who took on the task with smiles on their faces. Knowing that they were there to help them so in turn they would help, we have lots to learn from these children.

After about three hours of carting rocks they started to see the line die down to only a handful of children so it was time to call it a day.

They didn’t get to fi nish the project but they made a great start and the concrete has now been poured for the slab.

Well done, Heath you should be very proud of yourself in helping out with this very worthwhile project and the children will always remember you.

While the talk was going on as to the where’s and what for’s with the basketball court, the eco village where we were staying had plans for Heath?

They decided to put him to work out in the vegetable garden and orchard, where he dug about 20 holes in the very hard clay and slate soil and then planted plum trees.

While Heath was digging, Jane helped to weed the vegetable patch and water the plants with the cow urine mixed with water - Nothing goes to waste in Nepal.

Everything is freshly picked straight from the garden to you. The cows are all kept in barns.

So going to milk the cows, brought memory’s of Jane’s childhood days of milking the cows on her parents’ farm in Denmark.

Lovely fresh milk, yum.

Heath was invited to the grandparents’ little house as it was grandparents day and all the grandchildren go to visit.

This was a two hours walk along the small goat tracks along the top of the rice terraces - What an adventure.

While there, the children help their grandparents.

The fi rst job was to husk the dried corn cobs, about 500 of them.

Then it was out into the jungle to collect some fi rewood, bamboo poles and a small sapling to fi x the buffalo shelter.

Heath then helped to take out the old pole and replace it with the new one all while a buffalo was watching him, this was a bit scary.

But the best bit is they got to have fresh buffalo milk for afternoon tea.

Now for the long walk home which turned into a bit of a run as it was getting dark and this is no place to be walking in the dark. You could fall over the edge of the hill and be gone forever.

Heath spent many hours playing soccer with the children in the unused rice terraces, then when school was out, up at the oval.

Well if you could call it a oval, on the side of a mountain and if you kicked the ball to hard it was gone forever, never to be seen again.

It was nice just to spend time with the children talking to them and helping them with their english and Heath managed to learn a bit of Nepali.

Heath also had a go at pounding the rice into fl our in the self-made pounding machine, which is like a wooden hammer which pounds into a hole in the rock and gives you very strong leg muscles.

Very primitive, but hey, it works.

He also made beaten rice and ground salt.

All in all it was a unique experience, you don’t just go to the shop and buy it. There are no

shops and most of the time no electricity.

Jane said: “It was a real pleasure to be able to have spent time with these lovely people and to be able to help them out, if only in a small way, but for Heath it was a major achievement.

“And I’m sure one that he will remember for a long time to come meeting the people, being able to help and really putting forward the true meaning of scouting.

As part of another badge he had to attend a church service different from their own beliefs and this was a real eye opener for him.

The two main religions in Nepal are Buddhism and Hinduism.

They visited two Stupas where the people walk around these huge white round buildings, spinning prayer wheels and chanting to the gods.

Eyes are painted at the top of the stupas, looking everywhere, it is was quite magical.

They then went to a Hindu cremation where they burn the dead on the banks of the river; you just can’t even begin to put this into words; the feeling that comes over you when you see body after body burning.

It’s quite a surreal feeling and to them just another part of life.

One thing that sticks in their mind is while watching a cremation they saw a foot hanging out which really brought it back to reality there really was a body in there.

As you can see the Taylor family had a fascinating holiday with lots of stories to tell, but this is the part they did for scouts.

Heath, Jane and Mark Taylor are all members of the Gingin Scouts.

Over the past month, Nepal has been ravished by two major earthquakes and hundreds of tremors. The damage is enormous.

To date, Heath has not been able to contct the families he visited on his recent trip.

So you’ve made the decision to jump off the rental merry-go-round and are now looking to buy your fi rst home, but where do you start?

Entering the property market for the fi rst time can be extremely daunting, with a lot of new real estate jargon to get your head around and big decisions to make.

To help make your fi rst foray into home buying a little less complicated, we’ve compiled a list of what you need to get in order before making an offer and signing on the dotted line.

Market researchThe old saying ‘knowledge is power’ applies ten-fold to the process of buying property. A sound understanding of the property market you’re buying in will give you an advantage when searching for your fi rst home.

Once you know which suburbs you’re interested in buying in, take your time to learn more about that area. What is the median price of homes there? Does this fall within your range? Is there potential for solid capital growth?

At REIWA Suburb Profi les, they provide you with an in-depth view of the suburbs you’re interested in buying in. You’ll fi nd relevant market information, key facts, demographics and statistics, which will help provide you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision.

It’s also worth thinking ahead with your research, don’t just choose areas and properties that suit your short-term plans. It’s likely you’ll live in your fi rst home for a number of years, so ideally you’d be looking for a property that can grow with you as well.

Budgeting and savingOne of the more daunting factors when transitioning from renting to buying is the quantity of money you’re dealing with. Moving from dealing with hundreds of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars is quite an adjustment and can be understandably overwhelming.

To put yourself in the best possible fi nancial position to purchase your fi rst home, make sure you have a solid saving plan in process that will help build you a substantial deposit. The better your deposit, the less you need to borrow. Ideally, you’d want to save around 10 to 20 per cent of the purchase price of the home. If you do manage to save 20 per cent of the purchase price for your deposit, you will also avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

Finance approvalMost people will need to take out a home loan to purchase their fi rst home, or any home for that matter. The amount you can borrow will be dependent on factors like your income, debts, fi nancial commitments, credit history, loan type, employment history, savings and assets.

One of biggest benefi ts of being a fi rst home buyer is that you don’t have the added responsibility of needing to sell your current home to purchase a new home. With this in mind, consider applying for pre-approval of your home loan.

This puts you in a much stronger position to buy and you’ll feel more confi dent of your limitations when making an offer.

PUBLIC NOTICE SPORTS RESULTSPUBLIC NOTICE

LETTER OF APPRECIATIONOn behalf of the Executive and Members of the RSL Yanchep Two Rocks Sub-Branch appreciation is extended to the local community, visitors, ex-services and veterans and their families who attended any of the ANZAC Services held on Saturday 25 April.

As with any such event it takes a great deal of organising behind the scenes so a very sincere word of appreciation is extended to those who gave up their cosy bed to get the Dawn Service and Gunfi re Breakfast ready. Each year this one event has more attending and I am sure that this will mean that next year we shall be welcoming even more.

The attendance at the park was as large as we expected and hopefully everyone there could see and hear the service. The display of poppies was organised by one of our Members. The poppies were made by quite a few ladies, some from the Country Women’s Association, their friends and quite a few others who are unknown to me but willingly took part in making them. Thank you to the volunteers at the Park for helping to ensure the area was clean and tidy around the Memorial prior to the event. Thank you to Matt from Perth Concert Sound for ensuring the Public Address system covered the area so that everyone could hear the Service.
