How sad is it to see all tax payers money being spent on some public facilities like ocean pool at Cottesloe, so the public can feel good and safe while having day of leisure. How sad is it to see our hospitals buckling under pressure; our elderly citizens mistreated like they are in the third world country kept in hospitals on pain killers for couple of weeks waiting for surgery only to be sent home on the surgery day with a sack of pain killers and told to go and wait for the phone call on some occasions as many as three times.
Maybe pensioners should be informed when the pool is finished, when they can’t cope with the pain anymore they should go and see how their lifetime of taxes is making the younger generation happy to safely puddle in water.
Maybe, we should thank them for paying for it; who’s worried about their pain and suffering? It is absolutely disrespectful to the people who built this country. K Brady, Yanchep.

New laws for associations and clubs New laws have been passed which are aimed at helping associations and clubs in WA to operate more efficiently by providing them with a clearer framework in which to operate under a simplified set of regulations. The new laws will replace the existing Associations Incorporation Act 1987 and will apply to all existing incorporated associations in Western Australia. The changes are expected to come into effect from 1 July 2016, and will cover more than 18,000 incorporated associations
which encompass community and cultural organisations, sporting clubs and professional and industry bodies in WA.
Acting Commissioner for Consumer Protection, David Hillyard, said the reforms recognise the vital contribution incorporated associations make to our community. “It’s important that the laws covering the operation of incorporated associations meet current community needs and expectations,” Mr Hillyard said. Changes include: Strengthening
personal
privacy of members by taking a flexible approach to what contact information is provided on the register of members and placing limits on what can be done with that information. A modernised statement of the duties that are owed by committee members reflecting their commitment to act in the best interests of the incorporated association and its members. A process for appointing a temporary statutory manager if the incorporated association is not functioning effectively. Internal dispute resolution processes to be in place with the option of taking the dispute to the
State Administrative Tribunal if unresolved. Removal of the restriction on an incorporated association carrying on business or trading, provided that all profits from these ventures are applied solely towards achieving the incorporated association’s objects or purposes and are not used to secure pecuniary profit to members. A three-year transition period to allow incorporated associations to update their rules or constitution. Introduction of a simplified and streamlined process for incorporated associations to
resolve their affairs and cancel their incorporation. “The key goal of the new laws is to achieve a balance between the need for reasonable regulation with the desire for incorporated associations to be able to function autonomously and effectively, so they continue to remain an important part of community life in WA,” the acting Commissioner said. More information on incorporated associations is available at w w w. c o m m e r c e . w a . g o v. a u / associations or by calling 1300 30 40 54.

Gingin teenager has national success This grant was approved and Phillip was off to Hervey Bay with his father. Well, what a successful result Phillip achieved. He won five silver medals in the following events: National Junior Champion, Pistol Cartridge Junior, Small Bore Rifle Rimfire - Junior, Small Bore Rifle Rimfire - A Grade Open Class and 3 Gun Junior. He had hoped to do better, but unfortunately one of the firearms he was using suffered a mechanical breakdown and he was forced to compete in the Pistol Cartridge competition with a Rimfire. This put him at a disadvantage as the rifle didn’t have the power to knock over the targets at the 100m distance. In July, this year, Phillip Brougham from Gingin, was invited to participate in the Cowboy Lever Action Silhouette National Championships in Hervey Bay, Queensland. He had been invited to this event in 2015 but was unable
to raise the funds to attend. However, this year his father, David Brougham, put in a grant application to The Treasure Trove @Gingin, to see if he could get some assistance for Phillip to attend the 2015 event.
The Treasure Trove members are very proud of Phillip’s results and happy that they could help him to experience such an event. Grant Application forms are available at the shop when it is open or you can phone the secretary on 9575 1095 to request one for Grants in 2016.
Winners, local brings back trophy
The Treasure Trove @Gingin is in Weld Street, Gingin, next to the Gull garage, and is open from 9.00am - 12.00noon Monday to Saturday. Donations are gratefully received at all times and many locals drive across from the coastal areas of Gingin just to visit this shop Either to buy or donate. These volunteers are very thankful to everyone for their donations and support over the past couple of years and look forward to your continued interest in the future. FOOTNOTE: Phillip was recently nominated for a junior sports star of the year award, the Jules Steiner Junior Trophy with the WA Shooting Association. Unfortunately he wasn’t successful but it was an honour to be nominated, there were only four junior nominations.
Skippers told to follow the rules and save time at ramp
As traffic increases at Two Rocks boat ramp WA Skippers have been reminded to follow good ramp etiquette to limit queues and waiting times. Department of Transport (DoT) Coordinator of Safety Education, Laurie Adams, said a report of conflict between users at Two Rocks Marina, where a major upgrade is underway, had prompted the reminder. “Boat ramps throughout WA will be increasingly busy with the approaching holiday season. However, skippers can limit time lost at the ramp and potential conflict if they follow good ramp etiquette,” Mr Adams said. “Users should follow the directional signage at each ramp and to assist the flow of boat launching and retrieval, always observe the ‘one in one out’ rule. “Those skippers who fail to prepare their vessel for launch before they join the queue inevitably delay others resulting in unnecessary anxiety, frustration and aggression between users.” Before entering the launch lane skippers should prepare their boats in the rigging area by removing tie downs and straps, lights if necessary, preparing a bridle on the windward side of the boat, tilting the engine for launch and checking the bungs are in. Responsible skippers also complete the DoT recommended ‘Best check’ at home.

Summer safety campaign kicks in $5000 Minister for Sport, Sussan Ley, announced that every surf lifesaving club across the nation will receive $5000 to improve safety equipment and betterprevent drownings this summer as part of the latest round of Commonwealth funding. Launching this summer’s Beach Safety Equipment Fund at Sydney’s Coogee beach, Minister Ley said the Government was
providing $8 million over five years to the nation’s 311 surf lifesaving clubs to help prevent drowning deaths at our beaches. “Under this Fund about $25,000 over five years is being provided to every Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) club, so they can purchase essential rescue equipment, first aid and medical supplies,” Ms Ley said.
“Around the country we’re also seeing the purchase of defibrillators, rescue tubes and two way radios, allowing our surf life savers to perform the amazing work they do each and every swimming season. “Today’s event is also a chance for me to remind beachgoers on the importance of swimming between the flags – by far the safest option to enjoy a seaside
swim – yet figures indicate just 45 per cent of people swim at patrolled beaches during patrol hours. “A recent National Coastal Safety Report found four-in-ten coastal drowning deaths occurred more than five kilometres from a surf lifesaving club, and that threequarters of people quizzed could not identify a hazardous rip current.
“While we still have a way to go to reduce drowning deaths, I’m pleased to see the gear purchased through this Beach Safety Equipment programme helps save lives. The Australian Water Safety Council has an aspirational goal to reduce drowning deaths by 50 per cent by the year 2020.
Caves and sea creatures are fun
Ms Francis said the activities were very popular and bookings were essential.
Kids can meander through ‘marine-land’, enter an enchanted cave and lots more as part of the amazing Nearer to Nature activities available for those aged four and over the upcoming summer school holidays.
For further information about activities and session dates and times, visit nearertonature.dpaw.wa.gov. au. Call Nearer to Nature on 9295 2244 to secure your child’s adventure.
North of the river, activities are run by the Department of Parks and Wildlife at Yanchep National Park and Trigg Beach from Thursday 7 January, to Friday 22 January.
Grant update
Last month, the Sun City News asked the City of Wanneroo what projects were going to be funded by the $760,406 payment received from the Federal Government’s Financial Assistance Grants program.
Meander through marineland is a new summer activity being held at Trigg Beach for four to seven-year-olds. Children will learn about urchins, crafty crustaceans and cool cucumbers cleaning our oceans while playing beach games. Also at Trigg, older children aged seven to 12 years can take on Eco challenges and play team games giving an insight into surviving WA’s challenging environments. Littlies, aged four to seven years, will love the ‘Enchanted Environment’ session in one of Yanchep National Park’s fabulous caves. Together with Faerie Cara, kids will discover how
looking after nature is good for everyone. There are more cave-based sessions at Yanchep with Adventure caving for eight to 10-year-olds and 10 to 14-year-olds. Nearer to Nature program coordinator, Jill Francis, said the summer school holidays provided an excellent
opportunity to get children out and about, experiencing all that nature has to offer. “This is a fantastic time for children and their parents to discover more about our amazing native animals, our unique culture and the importance of our bushland and coastal environment,” Ms Francis said.
After two reminders and three weeks later, the City of Wanneroo’s response is: “Financial Assistance Grants are not allocated to specific activities however, the funds are carefully budgeted for each year and together with municipal funds, help the City provide important services to the community.” The response then named 13 different areas that the funds might be utilised. No further details were supplied by the City of Wanneroo.
City’s ‘verge bond’ scheme starts As part of the City of Wanneroo’s commitment to public safety and maintaining the community’s assets, a ‘street and verge bond’ scheme will begin from early next year.
The ‘Street and Verge Bond’ permit scheme will insure the City against damage to
roads, footpaths, kerbs and drains during construction work.
Under the scheme all works that require a building or demolition permit will need a permit from the City before work can start. Changes
to
the
City’s
Public Places and Local Government Property Local Law 2015, require that along with a building and demolition application, a bond of $1,000 (incl. GST) will need to be paid to the City for building work valued at more than $5,000. A
non-refundable
$100
application fee is required to cover administration costs by the City. The $1,000 bond will be refunded if the works cause no additional damage to City infrastructure. Work valued at up to $5,000 will incur a nonrefundable $100 application fee, but no bond is required.

Durrs track decision At the conclusion of a City of Wanneroo special council meeting, earlier this week, the council unanimously agreed behind closed doors to authorises the Chief Executive Officer to surrender the easements over the Dewars Beach Access Track and liaise with the landowners to provide reasonable assistance in respect of closing the Dewars Beach Access Track from Friday 15 January, 2016.
The council noted that: signage would be installed. discussions with the Shire of Gingin. an additional maintenance program will be implemented. increased ranger patrols; and note that the City of Wanneroo has the power to close the access track.
As one Two Rocks resident said: “Are the rangers and/ or police going to be there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, that’s what it will need.” Another local who goes fishing at Durrs told the Sun City News: “When the City of Wanneroo first established this easement, why didn’t they establish a management plan?
The council did not provide any further details of how they would manage any issues related to their decision. Both local residents and track users agreed the council’s decision would not stop anyone using the track - Most were concerned about the problems the decision will cause.
Previously, when the track has closed, 4WDers set about making numerous new tracks into the vacant land opposite Damepattie Drive or off Resolute Drive near the primary school. Fears are this practice will reoccur with the council’s recent decision.
“All too often, this council makes decisions, without thinking it through properly, just look at how many local projects they have wasted money on up here because of poor planning or missmanagement.” The council report did not provide any details related to the cost of the closure process.
Extra ranger patrols Between the City of Wanneroo’s last scheduled council meeting for 2015, but before the special meeting, earlier this week, the City of Wanneroo announced it would start new coastal ranger patrols over summer to increase ranger presence and community liaison in the northern growth corridor. Mayor Tracey Roberts said four new coastal rangers
will be employed to carry out regular patrols of the City’s northern areas and beaches.
“The four coastal rangers will work in pairs from Fridays to Sundays until April next year,” Mayor Roberts said. “They will keep an eye on 4WD access at Dewars Track and the City’s increasingly popular northern beaches, where developers have
recently opened up shore access to the public.
“These beaches are being illegally used by 4WD enthusiasts and the City’s priority is ensuring the safety of all residents and visitors to our beaches,” she said. Under section 39(d) of the City’s Local Government and Public Property Local Law it is an offence for drivers to
take a vehicle of any kind onto a beach or sand dunes, unless authorised to do so in the course of their duties, or allowed by a sign. “The new coastal rangers will help increase the sense of community safety and improve response times to residents’ concerns as well as educate the public about local laws - a very positive outcome for the community.”
Park safer this year
Twelve months ago, residents from the nearby aged care facility had asked the City of Wanneroo to clear the heavily overgrown undergrowth in the park next to their residences. The City of Wanneroo had said they had inspected the park and it was safe and not a fire hazard. During late spring, this year, a major clean up was instigated in the park. Nearby residents are very happy and feel safe as well as being able to utilise the park on a summer’s afternoon.

If you have any festive season celebration photos, email them to news@suncity news.com.au with the details of your celebration. Lancelin locals and visitors will now have access to an Emergency Telehealth Service (ETS), thanks to a new partnership involving Silver Chain and the WA Country Health Service. Officially opened by Member for Moore, Shane Love, and Member for the Agricultural Region, Martin Aldridge, the new service will provide critical emergency medicine support to the Lancelin Health Centre. Shane Love said nurses at the Lancelin Health Centre would now be linked to highly trained emergency specialist doctors via video conference to help when they are treating seriously injured or acutely unwell patients.
B&B Quality Butchers open Bryan and Ben have just openned a butcher shop at Yanchep Central Shopping Centre.

If you are a new local business and would like a free write up, call Terry from the Sun City News on 9561 2515 or 0414 425 858. This will be a new feature throughout 2016.
“This ETS will not only meet the needs of the local Lancelin community, reducing the need for them to travel, but it will service the large influx of tourists who visit Lancelin,” he said. “Lancelin Health Centre will pilot the use of the service for 12 months, and potentially other Silver Chain centres in isolated locations will also be considered to join the network. “The new ETS ‘virtual emergency department’ in Lancelin represents the first Non-Government Organisation and ETS partnership in WA.” Martin Aldridge said the ongoing Royalties for Regions investment in the Emergency Telehealth Service is greatly improving emergency patient care for regional residents across WA. “We need to improve access to quality health care to ensure the sustainability of regional WA into the future and I am pleased to see Royalties for Regions play a vital role in this,” he added. “Healthcare is a key consideration when people decide whether to live or remain in the regions.” Regional medical staff will also be able to utilise the video-conferencing facilities at the Lancelin Health Centre for professional development opportunities via a virtual classroom.

NO GLASS campaign
Will you gain weight this Christmas?
The ‘No Glass’ campaign aims to reduce glass contamination in the general waste bin to improve r e c y c l i n g outcomes, in particular reducing glass making its way to the Resource Recovery Facility (RRF) and into the compost that is produced there.
For most of us, Christmas and its festivities revolve around consuming tasty food and drinks with colleagues, friends and family. Between work Christmas parties, Christmas lunch or dinner, edible presents and New Year’s Eve, it can be an effort not to gain weight.
This is to be primarily achieved by encouraging residents to utilise their recycling bins rather than the general waste bins to dispose of glass items through the application of a ‘NO GLASS in THIS BIN’ sticker. The campaign targets 170,000 households across four councils, Cities of Wanneroo, Joondalup, Vincent, and the Town of Victoria Park. The ‘NO GLASS in THIS BIN’ stickers were applied to bin lids, across the City of Wanneroo last month, November. The campaign is timed to coincide with the reopening of the RRF after its composter replacement shutdown. It is anticipated that a significant reduction of glass will be presented on the reopening of the facility. The Mindarie Regional Council has worked closely with the member councils and the Waste Authority to develop the stickers. The bold sticker design with a simple ‘NO GLASS in THIS BIN’ message is designed to have an immediate impact on the way residents dispose of their glass containers.
The human body can be quite remarkable in its ability to maintain a stable weight over the long term. One small American study reported average fluctuations of just 0.5 kg throughout a year. Weight peaked in winter, which may be due to poorer weather and lower physical activity, but returned to normal. Others, however, gradually gain weight over the years. A study of 120,000 Americans found weight gain averaged 3.35 lb (1.52 kg) over fouryear periods. The good news is that reducing your energy intake by around 100 calories (418 kilojoules) per day can prevent such weight gain. This could equate to not having that extra biscuit, or walking more each day. We often don’t follow our normal routines during the holidays. Therefore our lifestyle behaviours and body weight can change.
Other lifestyle behaviours were also associated with weight gain: physical inactivity (including television watching), alcohol intake and sleeping less than six or more than eight hours each day.
There aren’t many highquality studies that look at body weight and fat changes over the Christmas period, but the studies that have been done report conflicting results. A 2009 American study of 195 adults over the six-to eight-week winter holiday reported an average weight increase of 0.37 kg.
weights was also found in another American study of 94 college students. Over a two-week Thanksgiving period, the overweight/obese students gained an average of 1.0 kg, while those with a normal body mass index (BMI) gained just 0.2 kg. Some studies reported no weight gain, but an increase in body fat over the holidays.
Another study of 26 English adults over a two-week Christmas holiday found they gained an average of 1kg, even though five were sick (and three lost weight). The maximum weight gain was 4.4kg.
However, other studies found no change in either body weight or body fat over festive periods, even if there were changes to eating and physical activity patterns.
Yet another study reported a weight change of around 0.4 kg in non-obese Swedish adults over a two-to threeweek Christmas break. Obese participants, however, reported highly variable changes in weight, from a gain of 6.1kg to a loss of 8.8kg.
In the large study of 120,000 American adults, the foods associated with weight increase over four-year periods include potato chips, potatoes, sugar-sweetened beverages and unprocessed and processed red meats.
This difference between people of contrasting starting
What’s to blame?
Foods that were associated with lower weight included vegetables, whole grains, fruits, nuts and yoghurt.
It’s not hard to imagine these factors at play in someone’s Christmas holidays. Potato chips, soft drinks and alcohol might fill the table at the work Christmas party. Hangovers and too little or too much sleep might mean that you indulge excessively in fast food burgers while binge-watching Netflix.
Keep it in perspective At the end of the silly season, you may still have gained some weight. But keep it in perspective: it might have been due to quite pleasurable activities and it’s unlikely to be a problem in the long term, if you get back to your usual balanced exercise and eating routine. It’s fine to indulge every now and then, even if it means going back for seconds of Christmas pudding on Christmas day. Just don’t indulge every other day of the holidays, too.

Council meeting decisions . . . Closure of a public access way (PAW) between Nott Place and Oldham Reserve which has been unkept, overgrown and not maintained by the City of Wanneroo since the 1970s was not supported by the City of Wanneroo council at last week’s meeting. The adjoining landowners had requested the council close the access way stating very few people used it, and most of the residents in Nott Place supported the closure. Council made their unanimous decision without any discussion. Before the council can carryout any maintenance work, they need to apply for a clearance permit from the Department of Environment. Cr Sabine Winton’s Motion on Notice to amend the elected members’ Fees, Allowances and Reimbursements Policy by seeking approval at a council meeting for any councillor wanting to attend any international professional
conferences, training or education tours must be approved by the council watered down. The council agreed to: look at all opportunities to continue to improve transparency in Governance as it relates to gifts, donations, training, and travel; progress a review of the Council Members Fees, Allowances and Reimbursement Policy to provide that attendance by Elected Members attendance for international Professional Conferences, Training and Education tours must be approved by Council resolution and quantify any other considerations that need to be included in the Policy to support this request. Behind closed doors, the council agreed to authorises the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate with Surf Life Saving WA for the provision of a Mobile Beach Safety Patrol for the period 11 December 2015, to 31 March 2016, at an estimated value of $62,550, to be funded from
savings within the 2015/16 operating budget. No details were provided as to where the saving had been made. The council unanimously approved the Mayor, Tracey Roberts, and Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Simms, attending a Tri-Cities Advocacy visit to Canberra during February 2016. The Cities of Wanneroo, Joondalup and Stirling have visited Canberra in 2014 and 2015, promoting the Northern Coastal Growth Corridor to Federal members of parliament. The report did not indicate any successes or achievements, but said the trip would only cost about $4,000 plus the undisclosed cost of a ‘joint function’. The council unanimously approved spending $15,976 from the Sustainability Investment Fund Reserve to replace the inverters at Clarkson Library and Kingsway Indoor Stadium;
install additional solar panels at Aquamotion, Clarkson Library and Kingsway Indoor Stadium; and install an energy monitoring device at Aquamotion. The next City of Wanneroo scheduled monthly council meeting is set down for 7:00pm on Tuesday 2 February, 2016. The Electors Annual General Meeting will be held at the Council Chambers on Wednesday 27 January, 2016, commencing at 6:00pm. The Shire of Gingin will hold their first council meeting for 2016 on Tuesday 19 January, in the Council Chamber, starting at 3:00pm. The City of Wanneroo will hold their annual Australia Day citizenship ceremony at the Wanneroo Showgrounds, starting at 9:00am. All members of the public are welcome to attend the activities.

The driver of the Camry, Dong Thi Tuyet Vo, from Mirrabooka, died at the scene when her car was crushed. A mother-of-two, Ms Vo had worked in the market gardens of Carabooda for the past ten years. A 36-year-old man has been charged with dangerous driving occasioning death and will appear in court on January 18.
Petrol is not as cheap as it should be, and the government’s consumer watchdog is worried that customers are being gouged. In a tersely-worded update on petrol prices across the country, the chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Rod Sims, noted significant increases in the past six months in the margin between what retailers pay for petrol and what they charge at the pump. The price paid by motorists was, on average, 11.8 cents per litre more than the wholesale price of petrol, the largest such margin recorded by the ACCC since it began keeping records in 2002. The wholesale price of petrol fell by 6.2 per cent over the period in the report. Since June last year it has fallen by 19 per cent. Over the same period, the weekly average petrol price has fallen about 14 per cent.
