LANCELIN CLASSIC
West Australian, Dale Stanton, won the 25km kite surfing marathon on the final day of the 2014 Lancelin Ocean Classic. Stanton negotiated a 15-18 knot breeze from Ledge Point to be first on the beach at Lancelin in a time of 24 minutes 39 seconds, more than a minute quicker than his closest rival, Trevor Mirsky.
The scoring was so close the judges were forced to extend the final by five minutes before crowning Gordon ahead of Ryland Blakeney and Andre Carter with Andy Cooksey rounding out the top four. Conditions were less than ideal with 25 knot winds and head high sets.
Dale Stanton said: “I’m just stoked to cross that line first, it’s a hard event but it’s so much fun. It’s run really well and the whole community gets right behind it which always makes it a great event to compete at.”
Teresa Gordon, wife of Jake, made it a family affair by taking out the female event while Shannon Ducker finished runner up. The junior division was won by 13-year-old Billy Hampton from Margaret River.
Mirsky was second across the line recording a time of 25 minutes 56 seconds, while Johnno Keys rounded out the top three in 26 minutes 33 seconds.
Two times world wave champion, Philip Koster, pulled off a remarkable double forward loop to secure victory in the final of the elite Wave competition at the Lancelin Ocean Classic on the first day of competition.
Jake Gordon won the Lancelin Ocean Classic’s inaugural kite surfing wave contest. Gordon prevailed in a tight contest made up of four West Australians at Lancelin's Back Beach.
Runner up, WA’s Glenn Alexander, actually scored higher in the wave-riding component but was overcome by the 19-year-old
German's aerial brilliance that included a gutsy one-footed back loop. England’s Graham Wood took third place ousting Aussie Ben Severne in their final. Mother nature delivered some of the best conditions the tournament has seen for this year’s opening event. A 20-knot breeze combined with four to six foot waves had spectators licking their lips. The early heats saw a couple of shock results with local hero, Jaeger Stone, and another preevent favourite, Scott McKercher, both failing to progress passed the second round. The Lancelin Ocean Classic first started in 1986, the event now attracts close to 5000 visitors to Lancelin including competitors from around the world who see this events as a ‘must attend’ competition.

Fr o m t h e e d i t o r ’ s d e s k I gave up on making ‘new year resolutions’ many years ago They are usually broken within a week or so. What I have done this year, is set some goals I’d like to achieve with the growth of the Sun City News - I would like to see the newspaper grow by at least four more pages in each issue. Ideally, I would hope to have achieved an extra eight pages per issue. In setting goals within any business, it is necessary to work out how you can achieve your desired objective.
I see two areas for the growth of the Sun City News - One is getting more local news, more local community groups contributing to the news and more local photos. To achieve this, I am asking you, your club or group to email any local news or details about your next meeting. I have started a section ‘Your Club Corner’ - This new feature allows your club or association to be listed every issue detailing your clubs meeting details, location and contact details. This feature will only work with your involvement.
To expand the Sun City News, naturally it is necessary to expand the advertiser base - I have reviewed all advertising costs and developed a number of affordable ‘Advertising Packages’ to encourage local businesses to be involved.
Additionally, the Sun City News is looking for a couple of local community projects to get involved with. If you or your group has an idea, please feel free to contact me to discuss your suggestion.
For me to achieve my 2014 goals, I need to attract more contributors balanced with additional advertisers without diminishing the quality and standard we have at the Sun City News.
Looking at 2014, I see many challenges, but I also see many opportunities. I am very proud and honoured that the community has voted the Sun City News as ‘The region’s most popular local newspaper’ for five years in a row.
For instance, we won’t increase the number of ads per page, like some newspaper do.
I hope to continue providing the local community the best local newspaper.
Council submits oval agreement At a special meeting convened by the City of Wanneroo, one week before Christmas, the council finally agreed to a Deed of Agreement for the construction of earthworks for two ovals on Lot 602’s northern portion of the eastern side of Marmion Avenue by Yanchep Beach Joint Venture (YBJV).
After emails from the developer, YBJV, and John Quigley, Member for Butler, to elected members, Cr Brett Treby proposed amendments The councillors made a number of amendments to the administration’s recommendations - The council agreed to abandon the requirement to build a Tjunction. The council also
agreed to repay interest at bank rates. Cr Treby said two issues seemed to be the last ‘road block’ to the project. “The community needs that infrastructure now,” he said. According to the council report it states the deed would be sent to YBJV on or before 20 December 2013.
It is understood that if YBJV agree to signing the deed, work would not start on the project until the Minister for Planning, John Day, has gazetted a planning policy amendment relating to the City of Wanneroo’s Developer Contribution Plan for the funding of community facilities. If it is not signed and
gazetted within 12 months of the signing of the deed, the City of Wanneroo have stated they will start looking at other options, and the agreement would lapse. According to the agenda report oval groundworks and the Marmion Avenue extension should be completed 20 weeks after gazzettal.
The agenda report also raised concerns that there was a financial risk for the City of Wanneroo because they can only claim costs directly related to the ovals from the Developer Contribution Plan, and not for any roadworks. The amended resolution was supported unanimously by all councillors.
Council changes decision on quarry In another report considered at the City of Wanneroo’s special council meeting on 17 December, the council reconsidered a development application for an extractive industry at Lot 52 Nowergup Road, Nowergup, in light of additional information received from the applicant. Lime Industries Pty Ltd’s application was originally lodged on 24 August 2011, it was not until 3 September 2012, that the applicant provided City of Wanneroo administration with the plans and reports, sufficient for advertising. Following public consultation and review of all submissions received, administration pursued additional information from the applicant on 30 January 2013.
Rather than respond to council's queries, the applicant deemed the application refused and on 19 March 2013, exercised their Appeal rights to the State Administrative Tribunal. As a result of those proceedings, SAT invited the City of Wanneroo to consider the proposal on a 'without prejudice' basis at its meeting of 23 July 2013. At that meeting, council administration recommended conditional approval of the application - The council refused the application. The applicant was aggrieved by council's refusal decision and subsequently sought to have the matter determined by SAT. As part of the proceedings, this matter was set down for
a four day full hearing, scheduled to commence on 9 December 2013. In preparing for the full hearing, the City of Wanneroo appointed solicitors and independent expert witnesses. However, in out-of-session discussions between the applicant and the City of Wanneroo’s solicitors, the applicant indicated an openness to adjourn the full hearing for council to consider a revised proposal at its December 2013 meeting. Council considered the application at its meeting on 10 December 2013, and resolved to defer consideration to a special council meeting on 17 December 2013.
To date, the City of Wanneroo has spent around $90,000 in respect of this SAT matter. Should the matter proceeded to a four day hearing, a further $120,000 in legal and expert fees was expected. After considerable decision, the council, voted 10 to three to reverse their refusal decision and approve the limestone quarry. Mayor Roberts, Crs Aitken, Cvitan, Driver, Guise, Hewer, Parker, Smithson, Truong, and Zappa voted for the approval. Crs Hayden, Newton and Treby voted against the approval.

Mailbox Recently I went into my bank to make a deposit. I was both surprised and disgusted when told a charge of 50 cents per money bag was now in place.
Corner blocks seem to the preferred locations because the worm seems to try to do a 90 degree slide around the corner on the lawn area, thus doing more damage by causing ruts to appear.
As I had 14 bags, I was charged $7 to deposit my money into my bank account.
The damage done can take weeks to repair and can be quite costly.
No wonder the banks are making huge profits at our expense. Every transaction now has a fee.
What I normally do when a worm or bug like pest damages my lawn is spray with a suitable chemical at the appropriate time, thereby exterminating the pest.
Bank charges
What’s next a fee for having a bank account. I shall make sure this does not happen again. Brenda Douglas, Woodridge.
New pest discovered We would all be aware of the damage done to the well kept lawn areas in the Reef Estate. This has no doubt been caused by a new species of worm or elongated slimy lawn grub. I have recently been a victim of this same pest as has my neighbour and others in the vicinity. This worm strikes in the early hours of the morning, normally Saturday at around 4-5am. It is propelled across your lawn by spinning wheels and leaves burn marks and tyre tracks in a well kept lawn. The propulsion method used by this particular worm is a man made four wheeled vehicle.

Unfortunately, there are only certain worms or bugs that we are permitted to rid ourselves of in this manner. I have searched the web and can find no real answer to this modern pest problem. The only answer the web gave was, nearest search result, ‘brainless object’. If you see this worm in action I ask that you note down the number on its rear end and report to the police ‘worm hooning squad’. A photo or CCTV image would be better. Senseless damage by a brainless worm is not what we need in the area. Allan Hutcheson, Two Rocks.
Endangered species In a recent edition of another community paper it was reported that the Satterley Property Group spent
$40,000 stringing lights over six Norfolk Island trees in Eden Beach Estate. No doubt this news, most likely sent out as a cheery press release to better the public image of this developer, is meant to show the northern suburbs that the festive season is upon us, it's time to celebrate right? Wrong. They make millions of dollars by destroying natural habitats and the irreplaceable breeding grounds of several endangered species. $40 grand is pocket change to them. Let's not be overawed and overly grateful for a poor lighting display on transplanted trees that were never endemic to this area and serve little use to our local species that are so rapidly declining in population. Let this letter serve us a reminder to those who have forgotten how absolutely precious our local area is, that not only do we live somewhere absolutely unique but that we are surrounded by an unique ecosystem. According to the Conservation Council of WA, we are facing the most significant extinction periods ever to be experienced. One of the named threats to our natural biodiversity? Direct habitat loss due to vegetation clearing. We need a moratorium on land clearing, we need further research by impartial environmental professionals conducted
into our threatened local species and we need to know more about sand dune migration and the risk of building so close to the ocean (take a drive down to Quinns Beach). Satterley would be better off donating that 40 grand directly to an environmental group that helps rehabilitate our endangered and vulnerable local species. Hope you and yours had a lovely Christmas and a safe New Year. Brooke Olive, Two Rocks.
Many, many thanks. I would like to take the time to thank the great staff at Two Rocks IGA. It was great to be able to dash in for those ‘panic’ buys on Christmas Day. The staff were all smiles and spreading the Christmas cheer with happiness and laughter. Oh, and no I did not need that extra chook but extremely glad that I could buy one on Christmas Day. I hope that all the staff eventually got to enjoy their Christmas Day, as we did. My thanks also to everyone else who provided a service to the community in what ever field, working on Christmas Day. Shirley Brightwell, Two Rocks.

World tour for Tully Local artist, Angie Beck, created ‘TRYCAN Tully, the Travelling Toy’ a sock doll, at an Artist in Residence activity held by Wendy Lugg, at Capricorn House last year.
After a three year closure, the boardwalk in Guilderton was officially reopened on Christmas Eve in time for the busy summer holiday period.
Tully has acquired a passport and is off on a world tour, with visits to Hong Kong, Slovakia, Holland, Canada, USA, Germany, Spain and Siberia already booked. No doubt the tour will take in many more locations.
The boardwalk, originally constructed to convey visitors from the Guilderton estuary foreshore to the beach, was closed in November 2010 after a chunk of cliff broke and fell onto a section of the walkway. The Shire of Gingin made the decision to revisit its previous risk assessment given there had been no further rock falls, and to implement mitigation strategies to assist in reducing any exposure and to provide safe access for the community to the beach. These included the erection of 25 metres of fencing on the cliff top and several ‘Beware of Rock Fall’ signs along the length of the boardwalk.
You can follow Tully’s tour at yanchepnews.blogspot.com.au. Photo: (from left) Nishiko, Whistling Willy, Tully and Tuoedisni, in front is little Rubic. If you have a great local news article, email the news and photo to news@suncitynews.com.au; don’t forget to include your contact details.
For the residents of Guilderton the reopening of the boardwalk was welcome news.
New premises for men’s shed Members of Gingin Men’s Shed received wonderful news in the mail on Christmas Eve - Lotterywest approved an application for funding to assist in building and fitting out a new shed and patio at Horan Street, Gingin. The site, the old St John Ambulance Centre, has been generously, jointly leased to Gingin Men’s Shed and the Chittering-Gingin Lions Club by the Shire Of Gingin.
Lotterywest approved funding of $118,000 towards the project, while the GinginLancelin Bendigo Community Banks, have approved funding up to $55,000. The Shire of Gingin has agreed to carryout the site works and preparation. With generous funding from various organisations, it ensures construction and fitout of a wonderful new shed, to the value of $185,000
Boardwalk reopens
which will allow the Gingin Men’s Shed members to move to their new premise. Since inception, the Gingin Men’s Shed have been very fortunate in being granted the use of the old Golf Club building as their headquarters. The very strong link shall remain between the Gingin Golf Club and Gingin Men’s Shed. Men's sheds are now established as part of the
Largest Australia Day ceremony
health infrastructure that supports programs to improve men's health and well being.
The City of Wanneroo will host Western Australia's largest citizenship ceremony on Australia Day, with almost 700 people from around the world becoming citizens.
Men’s Sheds started in 2006, as an organisation to support the early initiatives to establish sheds.
The new citizens, from 60 different countries, will be treated to an array of Australian entertainment and celebrations at the Wanneroo Showgrounds, starting the day with a BBQ breakfast. This year’s event will feature guest speaker Premier Colin Barnett who will also join Mayor Tracey Roberts to present the City of Wanneroo Australia Day Awards.
Men’s Sheds Australia facilitated the formation of new sheds through collating information and providing information to men’s sheds.

Mailbox Devastated
Broken promises
While my husband and I were away over the Christmas break we were broken into. We think it may have been the Friday 27 December.
Prior to the state election, Linda Aitken, as the Liberal Candidate, claimed to support the ‘Save Lake Nowergup Group’, Lake Nowergup as a precious community asset.
Among other things my husband’s guitars were stolen. Because they broke a window, one of them has cut themselves and hopefully forensics can get good DNA from this. So, if you hear of anyone trying to get rid of a variety of electric and acoustic guitars please contact the Yanchep police . We are devastated and naturally feeling very upset about this. Sharon Fiorentino, Yanchep.
Wonderful community Early Christmas morning I crashed my wife's car into a bollard in the car park of the IGA supermarket at Two Rocks. I was rendered such caring assistance that I find it difficult to adequately express my gratitude. At the time it was thought that the car was on fire and I was pulled and pushed out of the wreckage by a lovely lady from out of town and a young guy. He rang my wife on his own phone so I could assure her that I was okay. I would like to thank all the lovely people who gathered to assist and to give advise and care. I would also like to thank the lady from IGA who stayed with me at the scene from start to finish, even providing a cold drink. Thank you so very much. People can be so very, very lovely and I was fortunate enough to be attended by a wonderful group of them. Once again, thank you. Barry Clements, Yanchep.

Now that she has been elected to Wanneroo council she has completely betrayed our local area by seconding a motion to permit limestone quarrying in the Nowergup Valley and entirely deserves the nickname ‘Limestone Linda’. Lake Nowergup is a precious regional resource which will provide recreational activities for the thousands of people moving into Butler, Alkimos and Yanchep. We all know that the Yanchep lakes are drying up and Lake Nowergup is our last freshwater lake supporting natural habitats for many animals. By failing to support her constituents ‘Limestone Linda’ has shown her Liberal colours in putting the mining industry above our community and the ecological concerns. Name and address supplied.
Frustrated I share the local community's frustration about the unfortunate timing of the closure of the Two Rocks Boat ramp. Having this much used Boat ramp closed from October through to January for maintenance is surely not just bad timing, but appears to be bad planning. The impact on the local boating and business community is significant. The Yanchep/Two Rocks area is in urgent need of more infrastructure, and so closing key assets in the peak holiday recreation and tourism season is disappointing. For some, who are opposed to the State Government's latest shark culling policy by setting
shark baits close to shore, it might be just as well. No local ramp to launch a boat to check on the drum lines! But then this policy to protect communities from shark attacks didn't extend north of Quinns Rocks anyway. One could conclude that there aren't any sharks that visit the 32km of coastline that fall within the City of Wanneroo. Given the three months closure of the boat ramp in Summer, it would appear we don't have boats either. Sabine Winton, Nowergup.

Meet Australia's future Prime Minister In the last week of Federal Parliament before Christmas, Christian Porter, the newly elected Member for Pearce, delivered his maiden speech.
reveal great fiscal imbalance, a major problem that is in dire need of reform … the [GST] system is too extreme, highly inequitable and propagates enormous inefficiency.''
Renowned Sydney Morning Herald columnist, Paul Sheehan, said: “I will be surprised if he does not become prime minister one day.” Sheenan went on to say: “As Porter delivered his maiden speech the press gallery was empty apart from myself and the duty AAP reporter. In 2009, I had attended the Perth Writers Festival and been impressed by the young attorney-general who opened the festival and had the audience laughing. “Anyone who reads his maiden speech will find the quality of the opening never flags as it moves from the personal - ''unfortunately, I inherited little of the athletic ability of my father and 100 per cent of the chicken legs'' to the political: ''The Asian convergence … is the single greatest economic event since the industrial revolution … That 60 per cent of the world's population will in our lifetime converge rapidly towards our own standard of living will have deep
implications for the entire world … Australia faces the economic opportunity of its life … ''As with all times of opportunity … too many poor decisions and our opportunities will be lost, and Australia will face a not-toogradual decline. The one certainty will be that some gentle, happy equilibrium of our national prospects will not be the order of the day …'' He is alarmed by the drift towards structural debt and deficit: ''The swift return to robust surplus is an absolutely critical, but not sufficient, condition to growing our economy … If we
are to exist and thrive with Asian tigers, we would be well advised to remain a formidable economic creature in our own right. ''One area ripe for economic reform is the federal system … The federal government is the complicated child of five state parents; it is not the product of immaculate conception, although sometimes it has thought itself infallible … It now accounts for just over half of all government expenditure, with 80 per cent of the revenue base. The states roughly account for the rest, but with only 15 per cent of the direct revenue base. These figures
By now his allotted time was coming to an end. He looked up to the public gallery, to his wife, and his voice quavered: ''Jennifer, if I were told that it were within my power to go back to the 1970s to watch Dennis Lillee bowl again at the WACA, that I could take all my friends, that Sir Isaiah Berlin and Han Solo would be special guests, and that James Reyne would do an acoustic set during the lunch break, but that … you could not attend with me, then I would not bother … Jennifer, all the good things are nothing special without you.'' With that Porter ended his speech. His wife was crying. Later, at dinner, she presented him with an inscribed compass, to help steer him home, now that he has arrived on the big stage, far from the west. A link to Christian Porter’s maiden speech can be found on the Sun City News web site - suncitynews.com.au
Councillor's post labelled racist City of Wanneroo North Ward councillor, Norm Hewer, has been accused of racism after an offensive Australia Day Facebook posting was made from his personal account. The post, which depicts a picture of an Australian flag, contains the caption: "On Jan 26, my countrymen and I will be flying our natioal (sic) flag with pride. If you feel this is going to offend you please feel free to pack up your s**t and F*** OFF." The message was posted on the Carramar and Tapping Residents Association Facebook page from Councillor Norman Hewer's account, which he shares with wife, Pam. Pam Hewer later posted that the message was hers, writing "sorry, couldn't resist it". Members of the public were not convinced though, lashing out at the community representative for the ‘inappropriate’ and ‘racist’ comment. “Very inappropriate for a community page from a councillor's private page. No matter your personal view, not the nicest way to express it," one person commented. "It's also ignorant, immature and offensive . . . Wrong association for the flag, this community and Australia Day," another user said. Many users asked for the post to be taken down from the website and others encouraged residents to write to Mr Hewer's personal email account to express their disapproval. Mr Hewer was elected to council in 2009 to represent the residents of the north ward, which includes Carramar, Banksia Grove, Neerabup, Nowergup, Carabooda, Alkimos, Eglinton, Yanchep and Two Rocks. Mr Hewer could not be contacted for comment.

Local police kept busy over holidays Yanchep police have been kept very busy with a variety of traffic offences, local crime and several domestic violence incidents in Yanchep and Two Rocks. On Christmas Day and Boxing Day, Yanchep police attended six drunken domestic incidents; a burglary in Sandbar Street, Yanchep and a car crash at Two Rocks shopping centre. Yanchep Officer-in-charge, Sgt Jason Macander said: “It's the festive season, not the fight season.” A couple of days before Christmas day a vehicle caught fire on Two Rocks Road, police are investigating. In the first week in January, a vehicle was deliberately set-alight in the Yanchep Lagoon car park. Yanchep Police are investigating this fire. The vehicle suffered a flat battery and was left at that location unattended on Tuesday night (7th January). Department of Fire and Emergency Services attended about 11.30pm that night and located the blue Holden Commodore sedan well alight. Should anyone have information regarding the circumstances surrounding the vehicle being ignited, please contact Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000. Late last week, Yanchep police released a photo of a person of interest in relation to a stolen wallet offence at Yanchep Central Shopping Centre.

Last Wednesday night, a fire sparked by an unattended candle destroyed a home in Yanchep. Firefighters were called to Brazier Road about 10.30pm, where a house was engulfed in flames. It took about 12 firefighters from Osborne Park, Yanchep, Joondalup and Butler three hours to extinguish the blaze. A Department of Fire and Emergency Services spokesman said the fire caused $150,000 damage. No one was home at the time but an ambulance was called after a woman in a nearby house complained of breathing difficulties. The woman, aged in her 40s, was treated for smoke inhalation. The Sun City News received several reports of forensic police attending a number of properties in Yanchep and Two Rocks, full details have not been released, but drugs and drug labs are suspected to be the cause of police attention. Between Friday 20 December, and Sunday 5 January, more than 18,000 West Australians were caught speeding over the festive season 4935 speeding infringement notices; 389 people were done for drink driving; 53 people were charged with drug driving; more than 400 cars were also seized and 744 people were caught not wearing seatbelts.
WA Police Commander, Alf Fordham, said it was the equivalent of checking every licenced driver in WA more than twice. “You may not have seen us, but we saw you,” he said. The operation was also an opportunity for police to use officers on unmarked motorcycles to catch people using their phones while driving. Those figures will be released at the end of the month, but Commander Fordham said the number of people putting their phone in their lap to send text messages was ‘surprisingly high’. "It is dangerous stuff and these unmarked motorbikes are proving to be a very valuable tool for us to catch them, bring the bad habit to their attention and prosecute them for it,'' he told the 6PR morning show. Those caught using their phone while driving will lose three points and be fined $250. In WA, it is also illegal to text while stationary at traffic lights. Photos - Top: Brazier Road property fire.

Health, Beauty & Wellbeing
Today’s women
Health and fitness trends for 2014 The key thing about these devices is the way they are designed to link up with your mobile phone via apps.
Bodyweight training A few years ago, people turned to hi-tech gym equipment to get the most out of their workouts but this year we will be shedding prop-heavy fitness in favour of simple, effective exercise.
These apps make measuring progress easier and means people will be able to share their achievements, or failures, with friends on social media.
Your body was designed to run, jump, swim and squat, so you can keep it in perfectly good condition doing all those things.
Microsoft’s next-gen gaming console, the Xbox One, is another revolutionary way to help you break a sweat. ‘The console has made great strides in virtual technology. Studies have shown that games such as Kinect Sports Boxing can boost heart rates by 194 per cent compared to traditional, controller-held games, and the game can increase energy expenditure by 263 per cent on resting values, comparable to light cycling.
People have been using their own body weight for years as a form of resistance training and in 2014, there will be a move away from complicated classes and gimmicky equipment. It’s about working with your natural range of movement so your body can excel at doing the things it is designed to do. Most people wrongly think of bodyweight training as being limited to push-ups and pullups - It’s things like burpees, lunges, squats, crunches. Your body is your own portable home gym, so you can do it anywhere, any time.
Flexitarianism Many of us will go ‘flexitarian’ this year, according many dietician experts. Someone who follows a flexitarian diet tends to follow a vegetarian diet for most of the time but will eat meat on occasion.
These types of technology are accessible to everyone. A flexitarian might only eat meat only once a year at Christmas or they might have it a couple of times a month: there is no set rule. Maintaining nutrient levels is key, however. There is a misunderstanding that if you cut out meat, or you eat less meat, then you are healthy. If you are cutting it out, you need to make sure you replace it with other protein foods such as eggs.
Technology
Energy fuels
The health and fitness sectors will find new ways to get people engaged with exercise this year. This includes wearable technology, mobile phone apps and video games.
There has been a surge in people opting for healthy green juices last year, but in 2014, market research shows there will be a big move towards ‘functional green vegetable juices’ over caffeinated energy drinks.
For those looking to measure all facets of their lifestyle, from their calorie intake to their sleep patterns, wristbands can measure your habits and point out where you’re going wrong.
There will be a new wave of competition from natural and vegetable drinks.
