RISKY ROADS Driver Survey In a recent RAC Driver Survey, it has revealed that while young drivers recognise risky behaviour on the roads, they still engage in these behaviours while driving. Distractions and inattention continues to be a problem for young drivers, with 62 per cent admitting to being distracted when having a conversation with a passenger. The survey found 15 per cent exaggerated their log book entries while 85 per cent rated their own driving as either good or excellent. While 74 per cent rated their driving as either better or much better than their peers, only two per cent thought they were worse; 65 per cent thought their age group (16-25) were responsible for the most crashes on the road.
Last week, the RAC released the results of their 2014 Risky Roads campaign where the community identified two relatively new local roads as some of the state’s most dangerous roads. While Gnangara Road was ranked the state’s worst road, the Marmion Avenue and Lagoon Drive intersection was ranked third worst in the City of Wanneroo with inadequate crossing and turning opportunities. RAC members’ recommendation is the installation of traffic lights or a roundabout. Daily, pedestrians and school students can be seen trying to cross this intersection, dodging
traffic while impatient drivers are adding to the problems. Indian Ocean Drive, near Lancelin, was deemed the riskiest road in the Shire of Gingin. RAC General Manager, of Corporate Affairs, Will Golsby, said: “The 2014 Risky Roads results have highlighted the urgent need for the state government’s mid-year review to deliver an increase in road funding across the state. “This funding is urgent because tragically the road fatality toll is already 20 deaths more than this time last year.” “WA’s roads network is also under pressure with a cap being placed
on the level of road funding provided to local government, and more recently a 15 per cent a year reduction in funding from the road maintenance budget over the next three years. “This is on top of the huge backlog in road maintenance which was identified in 2009 by the Auditor General and estimated to be $800 million. “There are 187,000 kilometres of roads in Western Australia and no one knows it better than the people who drive, ride, cycle or walk on it every day.” The RAC Risky Roads campaign empowers community members to voice their concerns about
dangerous roads and intersections, so the RAC can work with the relevant authorities to get them fixed and ultimately save lives. Within the City of Wanneroo’s North Ward there were two other intersections that ranked highly: Flynn Drive and Wanneroo Road; and Golf Links Drive and Wanneroo Road. These intersections have been described as inadequate crossings or turning opportunities with the same solution being recommended: ‘instal traffic lights or a roundabout’.
Other amazing statistics from the survey revealed that 42 per cent had seen their parents use a mobile phone while driving; 73 per cent had seen their parents speed; 25 per cent had seen their parents drive after drinking while nine per cent had seen their parents run a red light. Sixty-two per cent of young drivers said they drive while fatigued, 41 per cent speed by more than 10km/h; and 16 per cent acknowledged they check their social media while driving; 15 per cent don’t give way to pedestrians while 19 per cent take photos while driving.

Mr Quigley told the Sun City News: “On Thursday, I was ejected from the Parliament because of my repeated interjections to the Minister for Transport, Dean Nalder MLA, challenging him over the Liberal Government’s broken promise to have rail to Yanchep by 2020 and challenging him to get Yanchep rail back on track.

“I will use every opportunity in Parliament to challenge the Barnett Government over the broken rail promise and the broken promise to spend $10.3 million dollars to bring Yanchep District High School up to scratch.”
“Consequently, we have agreed to continue our support for the Yanchep Community Bus, Australia Day Breakfast and the Australia Day Youth Awards for the immediate future.

Fires and tornado causes havoc Last week, in a 24 hour period, a massive bush fire threatened Sovereign Hill and Redfield Park Estates at Gabbadah. Then a tornado ‘ripped apart’ two olive farms near Orange Springs, west of Regans Ford.
Three people were reported as being taken to hospital as a result of the storm. SES volunteers attended the scene and cleanup has begun - Powerlines were downed with several poles broken.”
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services issued warnings for people in Sovereign Hill and Redfield Park, covering an area bound by Bennies Road, Indian Ocean Drive to Gingin Brook Road.
One property owner estimated that damages to her property may be in the area of $500,000, including damage to the roof and out-buildings.
The warning stated: “You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive. There is a threat to lives and homes.” Homes in Sovereign Hill and Redfield Park Estate were under threat by out of control fire. Flames were up to two metres high and moving in a south westerly direction. The fire is believed to have been caused by lightning. After the efforts of 60 firefighters and some rain dampening the fire the alert level was downgraded around 5:00pm. Just after 2:00pm, the same day, a tornado ripped through properties along Orange Springs Road, causing serious damage to at least three houses, crops and a processing building at one of olive groves was seriously damaged.
A neighbour’s house was completely demolished by the tornado. On the same day, a lightening fire was also reported at Seabird and Ledge Point. About 4pm, Sunday afternoon, residents at Ocean Farm Estate near Lancelin were issued fire alert warnings that a fire was burning in the Nilgen Nature Reserve, south of Ocean Farm Drive, between Ocean Farm Drive and Indian Ocean Drive. Seventy Bush Fire Service officers from Chittering, Gingin and Wanneroo along with Parks and Wildlife and DFES officers attended the fire. The Sun City News understands over 100 hectares was burnt out before the fire was contained. The cause of the fire is unknown. People are asked to report any suspicious behaviour to Police Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Your letters Vale Glen My friend, colleague and fellow artist, Claire Glen Hughes, passed away suddenly a few weeks ago. To all the people who have her work hanging around you are indeed blessed. She was such a talented artist. I would like to thank all the people who have supported me over the recent weeks. Special thanks go to Grant and Dean. Angie Beck, Yanchep.
Thank you The family of Dorothy Challen would like to thank the Two Rocks and Yanchep community for their friendship and support given to our mother over the past decade. Her time here was filled with good memories. Our mother passed away peacefully at St John of God, Subiaco, on Saturday 15 November. Gordon, Cathryn, Tony, Francene and Maryann.
Stop the world, I want to get off! I do feel that way; do you? It was so much easier then, remember? No mobile phones, computers (only a few of us had one). No text messages, answering service and less choices. Modern technology adds more stress to our life, changes are irritating and unnecessary and unwanted. Let’s start: n Supermarkets: Food choices. 100 per cent sugar
free; 80 per cent fat free; skim milk 10 per cent fat. skinny milk; no fat, no gluten, free range – (meat and eggs), on and on and of course 100 per cent natural. n Beauty products: Sun screens, spray lotions, SPF 30+, 50+. Different shaped bottles – upside down tops. Shampoo – silicon/no silicon; silky moisture renewal; essential oil, it goes on and on. n Fashion: Women’s clothing downsizing; 12 to a 10; 14 to a 12, so we all feel happier to fit into smaller sizes. n Asian sizes: Too small for all of us. Do your collar up and you choke, your cuff, your hands turn blue (no circulation). n Jeans: Spray on jeans, boot leg, high rise, mid-rise, wide leg, torn jeans, ¾ length, full length. n Leggings: No tag for back or front, one size fits all, really? – They usually come to my armpits! Finally, you wear them the right way. Hard work! So tight! And when you finally managed, you cough, sneeze, or f**t and your shoes blow off - True! n Facial expressions: It is quite amusing when people copy the expressions of Royals and TV personalities. Laughing like Princess Kate; showing your tonsils, ugula, tongue, perfect white teeth (like piano keys), must puff your lips like newsreaders. Make smokey eyes like WillI-Am (The Voice judge), Delta or Christina Morrissey (news reader).
n Surprise look: Open mouth wide, drop jaw, hold your expression for 10 seconds or more, if you can stop salivating. n Crying: Like the disappointed girls on The Bachelor and The Block. Gently rub your index and middle finger under your eyes – Start from the nose and go to your temples. n Public facilities: Automatic open/close, transparent glass doors. Don’t use them if you are claustrophobic, and remember don’t get shocked if you push open and the door slides open to reveal a man or woman in an embarrassing moment. n Hand-dryers: New big metal noisy machine that swallow your hands, your rings – Amputates your arms. Scary! n Roads: Roundabout, cement islands, markings, more roundabouts, children on skateboards on the wrong side of the road, 4WD’s parked on the side of the road verge. I could go one forever. Maybe Father Christmas will be able to use a skateboard on Brazier Road and play Monopoly at the same time? Confusion, frustration, stress. It was easier then. Wishing the world a peaceful Christmas and 2015. Let’s hope - Absolutely! Elena Lumsdaine, Yanchep.
Kerbside numbers Recently a flyer was distributed to some houses in the Two Rocks area requesting orders for installation of council approved kerbside house numbers. The operator has been and gone, unfortunately I and some others did not receive the flyer hence were not able to order the numbers, which in my mind are important as they make it easy for people such as emergency services, tradesmen etc to quickly locate your house. I contacted the operator and left my details and he stated that if he received enough orders he would come back. Michael Baker, Two Rocks.

Change to library hours In response to how the community use library facilities, Two Rocks library will extend its Saturday opening hours until 1:00pm. The City of Wanneroo said: “The change in hours will give residents more time on Saturdays, when the library is busiest, to choose, renew and return their books, access free wifi, explore the children's area or use the computers.”
Three companies will manage the Two Rocks marina until a long term leasing management agreement is established, next year.

Contribution payment more than doubled At the City of Wanneroo’s last council meeting for over two months, the council will consider 30 different reports.
dwelling now proposed in the revised DCP (Development Contribution Plan), a difference of over $4,000 per dwelling.
with the DCP funds of nearly $58 million being used to substitue the City of Wanneroo’s capital expenditure for the region.
The council will consider a revised ‘Alkimos-Eglinton and Yanchep-Two Rocks Development Contribution Plan’.
The report states “While the overall estimated cost to deliver the facilities has increased, the primary factor influencing the increased cost contribution rate is the projected number of dwellings to be developed within the 10 year timeframe of the DCP.”
Capital expenditure in the Yanchep Two Rocks region for the next decade is listed as Yanchep Public Open Space ($21,461,452 - 2014/15); Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club ($7,636,831 - 2017/18) and Capricorn Coastal Node ($2,242,485 - 2021/22).
Figures from the attachments within the report indicates that nearly 8,000 homes are projected to be built in Yanchep and Two Rocks between 2014 and 2024
Within the Alkimos-Eglington region the projected number of homes to be constructed are not listed, but the Sun City News understands this DCP is for 25
Noteable is the cost contribution for Yanchep - Two Rocks, projected to increase by more than double, much more than anticipated in 2013. At that time the estimated cost contribution was $3,291 per dwelling compared to $7,297 per
years with an estimated 18,860 homes each paying an extra $3819 per dwelling to prop up the council’s 25 year capital works program estimated at over $75 million. Many people think the DCP is a second tax on selected new developments, allowing the council to continue spending excessively in the more affluent suburbs to accommodate demands from certain sectors. Yanchep - Two Rocks and Alkimos - Eglington are the only regions within the City of Wanneroo to be hit with this additional ‘tax’.
This report continues to show the massive lack of basic sporting facilities in the outer northern suburbs for juniors and seniors. Many local residents think it is a scandal that the mayor and councillors freely socialise with developers, some collecting election contributions, but they aren’t working with them to deliver vital basic community facilities.

Lagoon Cafe settlement At next Tuesday’s City of Wanneroo council meeting, behind closed doors, they will consider a report related to a ‘Deed of settlement and release’ related to the inconveniences caused to the owners carrying out their normal business activities over the past 12 months. The City of Wanneroo has had various sections of the road blocked for up to 12 months hampering parking and access to the cafe. The Sun City News is aware that the business nearly closed down completely, some staff were laid off, the cafe ceased trading seven days a week. Perth solicitor, John Hammond, who specialises in Local Government issues, has been advising the cafe owners, Peter and Sue Morgan.
There are two issues the council has to consider, one its liability to the cafe and the damage to the business council’s actions has caused. Secondly, why does the council take items like this out of the public eye? Some elected members of council vigorously promote that council is ‘open and accountable’. Every time they do a deal behind closed doors, they are reverting back to the suspicious merky ‘Wanneroo Inc’ days. Blocking full disclosure to residents and ratepayers is unacceptable and surely likely to be an election issue next year where the Mayor and half the council face the community seeking re-election.

ALLARA - New land release popular LandCorp and Satterley Group have partnered to develop Perth’s newest north coastal community, Allara, situated on the northeastern corner of Pipidininny Road and Marmion Avenue at Eglington. Allara is a new master-planned community with the developers using their combined expertise to offer residents an innovative and more sustainable lifestyle. Satterley’s chief executive, Nigel Satterley, said Allara is an exciting development for home buyers wanting affordable coastal living on Perth’s north coastal strip. “There are many exciting features planned for Allara including incentives and initiatives aligned with sustainable living principles worth around $4,600 for each household,” Mr Satterley said. Allara is offering buyers: $2,600 rebate for solar panels; $500 rebate for LED lights; $1,000 rebate for smart home security; and $300 rebate for an energy monitor. LandCorp chief executive, Frank Marra, said this vibrant new community will also have a community bus service giving everyone easy access to destinations such as the beach, shopping centres, train stations and everything in between. Other features include a network of cycle paths, outdoor Wi-Fi in all parklands and much more.
The first 30 home sites at Allara were released last Saturday, with a mix of housing choices available. If you are one of the first 85 home buyers to secure a home site at Allara you will receive a $10,000 early bird construction rebate towards your new home. “We’ve included great incentives and initiatives to make more sustainable living options for buyers and to make Allara a sustainable community now and into the future,” Mr Satterley said. “Future plans for Allara include a neighbourhood centre and a central community open space incorporating large playing fields, attractive parks, barbecues and recreation facilities. “And every home will be within 400 metres of green space, with views and vistas to neighbouring regional open space. “Residents of Allara will be able to enjoy an urban and active lifestyle by the coast, without the beachside price tag. “Our vision for Allara is to create an attractive, well-planned, selfsustaining community offering excellence in design and a variety of home sites and amenities to meet the needs of WA’s growing population.” The 240 hectare estate is less than ten minute from Yanchep Central Shopping Centre with
other nearby amenities including Butler train and bus station; access to the Mitchell Freeway; public and private primary and high schools; beaches and parks. LandCorp chief executive, Frank Marra said Allara would support the fast-growing population in the North West corridor of the metropolitan area and the City of Wanneroo. “Together with our partners Satterley, we will develop around 2,600 home sites with a future population of up to 7,500 people.” Mayor Tracey Roberts officially opened the project at a VIP function, last Friday.

Nature at its best Along the eastern boundary of Wanneroo Road lies the picturesque semi-rural locality of Nowergup.
Mum and chicks remain watchful - These are unusually quiet chicks and you get a distinct impression of ‘I’ve got my eye on you’ from all of them.
This area is approximately 40 kilometres from the Perth CBD and contains a mixture of market gardens, plant nurseries, hobby farms, small businesses and just beyond its southern border lies Barbagello Raceway.
Regardless of which position around the tree we took and how many times we visited the tree, the Tawnies remained passive and did not move. It’s unusual to spot Tawny Frogmouths during the day and it’s possibly the abundance of night lights and food sources at this property that have encouraged them to nest this close to the residence.
It is a unique rural, heritage and conservation district which also contains Lake Nowergup - The deepest permanent lake in the metropolitan area with over 50 recorded bird species dependent on its wetlands.
This pair have returned in previous years to successfully raise their family and are well on their way to another successful rearing.
The lake name was first recorded by Surveyor General John Septimus Roe in 1841 and is thought to mean ‘place of sweet water’.
The last time we spotted this family they all were taking to flight in the early evening and inspection of the Flame tree the next day shows the nest is empty.
A young family has recently returned to reclaim and re-establish their old dwelling to rear their new offspring. Their abode is a basic nest consisting of small sticks that is fashioned along the fork of a horizontal branch of a mature Flame tree. This is a family of Tawny Frogmouths consisting of a mating pair and their two chicks. Tawny Frogmouths are found almost exclusively throughout mainland Australia and Tasmania belonging to the same family of night birds as owls and nightjars. They are sometimes known as mopokes or nighthawks and have been likened to the night time version of birds of prey. They are often confused with owls, but unlike owls, have no facial disk and different beak and talon structures. Their appearance is marked by long feathery like bristles above their beaks forming a crest like feature. Observation shows they are well named as their colourings include variations and streaking of grey, brown and white. They feed predominantly on insects, moths, beetles and invertebrates and are attracted to food caught in shafts of light from verandahs and cars, etc.
The life cycle of the Tawny Frogmouth goes on and we await their return next year into the Nowergup Valley. Tawny Frogmouths make formidable hunters, combining their ‘frog’ like beaks, their forward facing binocular eyes which allows greater depth perception and their remarkable hearing to swoop down and capture their prey.
Articles and photos provided by Brigitte and Brian Wilday. References: Owls, Frogmouths and Nightjars of Australia (2008) Bloomings Books PL – Author: David Hollands. Birds of the World (2006) Collins Publishers – Author: Les Beletsky.
They are also masters at camouflage as evidenced by observing our Tawny Frogmouth family in the Flame Tree.
Birdie Bits
Whilst other noisy chattering birds on the property are getting on with their life in the daylight hours flittering around, this family remains quiet, still and watchful. It’s not easy to spot this family who seem to blend seamlessly into the thick branches and dense foliage. The male appears perched on a branch in front of the nest, appearing to guard his family and is lengthening and simultaneously narrowing his body to appear slim and stick like hoping to blend into the tree and eventually appears half the width of the female. He’s also narrowed his eyes to slits and it’s only the tail markings that give his presence away as his tailhangs below the branch.
A new column ‘Birdie Bits’ will become a permanent feature in the Sun City News starting in January, next year. Local resident, Ronel, approached the Sun City News with the idea of starting this column. Naturally, we agreed. Watch out for the first feature in January. The Tawny Frogmouth article was submitted to the Sun City News last week, we felt it was such a special article, we decided to publish it immediately.

The newly elected president has a number of new ideas, he hopes to implement throughout next year - Currently the group are planning next year’s Australia Day breakfast and a Valentine’s Day dance.
Louisa joined the Gingin Scout Group in 2000, going on to achieve the Adventurer Cord, the highest level of achievement in the scout section at that time.

Louisa then linked to the Venturer Unit and after completing high school
moved to Perth where she joined the Stirling Lakes Rover Crew. During the Booting Ceremony, guests reflected on the two Rover’s time in scouting over the years. Stories were told of memories from local scouting events, as well as Australia wide and International camps that the two Rovers had attended. Both were presented with a decorative boot at the end of the ceremony. Louisa's Boot was decorated with flowers and will become a plant pot and Katarina's Boot was attached to a bike wheel and signed by members of her Rover Crew. The girls expressed how much they have enjoyed being part of the scouting movement and their appreciation at having been given the opportunity to gain life skills through their time in scouting movement. Both Katarina and Louisa will continue in scouting by taking up new challenges and positions. Katarina is in the process of becoming a branch leader for adventurous activities, specialising in mountain biking.
Louisa is going to continue in her current role of WA branch leader for the environment. Both girls said they would like to extend sincere thanks to everyone who have supported them so far during their journey through scouting.

Margaret who was aided by Bethanie Beachside staff member, Toni Clayton, prepared a Butter Fruit Cake.
As the overall winner, Margaret won an additional prize of a cooking demonstration at her Bethanie site from former My Kitchen Rules contestants, Emma and Andrew.
Sisters Lucy (10) and Emma (5) Beckett, from Mary’s Mount Primary School in Goosberry Hill, were named the Big Bethanie Bake Off School Student Winner 2014, with their late Nonna’s Crumbled Eggplant recipe. Their mum, Rosemary, and Marty Gliddon, Executive Chef of 150 EAST Riverside Bar Restaurant, aided the girls in the 15-minute cook off. The winners of the Big Bethanie Bake Off 2014 were named after a heated live bake off at Have A Go Day in Burswood Park. Each of the finalists were presented with a certificate and a signed copy of Maggie
The judging panel was made up of Monika Kos from Channel 7, Bethanie CEO Chris How; Patrick O’Brien, Executive Director Hospitality and Trades at the West Coast Institute and Margaret Johnston, food contributor from The West Australian. Each of the finalists dishes were marked on creativity, appeal of dish, nutritional content, and the story behind their favourite recipe.

Local groups can use these grants to promote their service to the community, which in turn helps the wider community. “It is a pleasure to be able to help several local groups with their 2015 activities.”
WA’s largest baking competition, the Big Bethanie Bake Off asked school students and Bethanie grandparents to submit their secret family recipe to enter a statewide competition, with the first phase of judging including none other than one of Australia’s top chefs, Maggie Beer.
School-aged children were asked to research their grandparents’ background and discover their favourite recipe. Photo: Margaret Ward and Lynda Smith were presented their winning certificate by Tony Simpson MLA.

Tradesman fined A tradesman has been fined a total of $3,000 by the Perth Magistrates Court and was ordered to repay a total of $4,400 to two consumers after he accepted deposits but failed to carry out the work. Rodney Gulley, trading as North Shore Limestone of Carramar, was fined $1,500 on each of the two charges of breaching the Australian Consumer Law and was also ordered to pay court costs of $1,797. Lawyers for Consumer Protection told the court that Mr Gulley had received a
$1,400 deposit from a consumer in Karrinyup to construct a limestone wall at a quoted cost of $2,800, but the work was never carried out. At about the same time, Mr Gulley had accepted a deposit of $3,000 from a Kallaroo couple to construct a limestone wall at a quoted cost of $6,300 which included getting the plans approved by the local council. The plans were never submitted and the work was never carried out. In handing down the penalty, the magistrate described Mr
Gulley’s conduct as disappointing and said it affected the ability of consumers to trust other tradespeople. Commissioner for Consumer Protection Anne Driscoll said that in both these cases there was no clear construction completion date negotiated. “This court case highlights the need for consumers and tradespeople to have a clear understanding of when the work will be completed, and to get that agreed date in writing, even if it’s just noted on the quote,” Ms Driscoll said.
“However, even if there is no agreed completion date, tradespeople cannot put off work indefinitely. The Australian Consumer Law states that the work must be carried out within a reasonable amount of time. “Consumers expect that the work will be carried out in a matter of weeks, not months. “Under no circumstances should the full amount be paid upfront. This leaves the consumer with no bargaining power if there is a dispute about the work at a later stage.”
