Giant road trains rumbling our way

Massive outback-style road trains are coming to the west-ern suburbs.

The road trains, known as B-triple multi-combination trailers, would be allowed on the controversial Perth Freight Link, Main Roads WA confi rmed to the POST this week.

The three-trailer road trains are already allowed access to Curtin Avenue, which runs through Leighton, Mosman Park and Cottesloe.

Few now use this route, but when thousands of vehicles are funnelled into the North Wharf container terminals from the southern suburbs, “leakage” will see them use Curtin Avenue to get to the northern suburb industrial areas, according to transport experts.

The government’s own model-ling showed a likely 42% leak-age from the proposed tolled freight link on to surrounding roads, Opposition Leader Mark McGowan told a public forum in Cottesloe this week.

Cottesloe council has voted to lobby local MP and Premier Colin Barnett to remove the cur-rent permission for restricted heavy vehicles to use Curtin Avenue.

By 2050 the freight link will funnel 13,000 trucks per day into East Fremantle and North Fremantle on their way to Fremantle port.

Mr Barnett has said truck drivers may be confi ned to the new link, but stopped short of making a commitment (“Link will bring 13,000 trucks a day”, POST August 29).

B-triples can carry up to three 12m-long containers at a time, can weigh up to 127 tonnes and are up to 53.5m long.

“These juggernauts are not urban technologies,” Curtin University sustainability expert

Peter Newman said.“They are road trains that

belong outside cities.”They are used for long-haul

freight transport in outback areas of WA and across the Nullarbor, and are allowed only on a limited number of roads in the eastern outskirts of the Perth metropolitan area.

In theory, they are permitted on the southern end of Stirling Highway to McCabe Street, Mosman Park and along Curtin Avenue and West Coast Highway to the north.

The government has kept a tight lid on the fact the road trains are coming, but Main Roads has confi rmed they will be allowed to travel along the

Charity push … Portia Smallbone, left, Cassandra McCloskey, Daniel Dorevitch, Danielle Malatzky, Sarah Cole, Malcolm Teo, and Jennifer Alderson train for their pyjama bed-push. Photo: Paul McGovern

Trainee doctors will probably develop a bit of a sweaty bedside manner in the name

of a good cause.A large group of pyjama-clad medical stu-

dents plan to push a hospital bed from QEII Medical Centre through Subiaco and into

Perth next Friday for Radio Lollipop.They will push the bed from the medical

library in Monash Avenue, up Thomas Street, down Rokeby Road and into Hay Street, where they will make a pit stop at the home of Radio Lollipop, Princess Margaret Hospital, before

heading up Murray Street into the city.Organisers Portia Smallbone and Cassie

McCloskey from the charity arm of the WA Medical Students’ Society said the bed push would start at 8am and take about 3½ hours to complete.

Sell Subi Oval for cricketSubiaco Oval should be sold

and demolished, and the cash used to rebuild the WACA ground, cricket bosses said this week.

The WACA would form part of a two-stadium model for Perth, with the new 60,000 stadium at Burswood, across the river.

A WACA report published on Thursday said a compelling case existed for signifi cant rede-velopment of the WACA, which would get state and federal gov-ernment support and funding.

“The Premier has been very clear that any state government consideration of funding for de-velopment of the WACA ground would only be on the following basis ... including co-location of the WA Football Commission at the WACA, enabling the state government to demolish and redevelop the current Subiaco Domain Oval site,” the report said.

It cited a radio comment by Premier Colin Barnett that he didn’t see any future for Subiaco Oval and that he urged the WAFL and the Football Commission to “get together and co-locate” at the WACA.

Subiaco councillor Julie Matheson, a WACA member, attended the launch of the WACA’s $100million plus plan.

From last week’s POST. Peppermint Grove council has upgraded this house’s heritage listing.

Why I begrudge Subi my rates

It’s time we had a change in Cambridge

Thank you Mr Trowell for pointing out that indeed anyone can run for offi ce (“Why change a top council?”, Letters, POST, August 29).

Cambridge council may have developed exciting new facilities for the area previously, but the future vision is only as good as those people who are guiding it.

It would appear that we now have some council members who have developed tin ears and are not representing our community particularly well.

It is time for change, and it is exciting that we have a group of new and capable people wanting to get involved.

A vote for Keri Shannon and selected can-didates on October 17 will ensure we have a “top council” in the future that has the com-munity’s interests ahead of its own.

Jon RichardsonCatesby Street, City Beach

I have just paid my rates, due today.

I do this begrudgingly, because with the advent of spring, I am now forced to order a new Orbit Irrigation controller, total cost $184.15, not including fi tting.

As a consequence of the con-tractors laying a new concrete footpath outside our house, my faithful retic controller was no longer programmable.

I have had people from the Subiaco council services area come around to look at it, but they were of the opinion that the controller

just died a natural death.That was wrong, because before

council contractors came to my street, the system was working perfectly.

Correspondingly, I pay my rates under sufferance.

And as such, I am still very an-noyed at the whole process.

And, I’m led to believe, I am not the only one who was dissatisfi ed with the contractor’s duty of care, or lack thereof, during this par-ticular work in our street.

Bishop saw plans wewere told did not exist

It was both heartening and puzzling to read the excellent front-page report by Rhiannon Shine and Linda Callaghan in last week’s POST (“Bishop, SAS developer at odds over security”).

Heartening to know our federal Curtin MP, Julie Bishop, is worried about the proposed development of private houses at Seaward Village. Puzzling because Ms Bishop said she had seen the plans.

Local residents who had a meeting with Defence Housing Australia (DHA) the day be-fore Ms Bishop spoke to the POST were told – as they have been told many times by DHA – there were no plans, only concept drawings.

So far, the two drawings we have seen have been very confusing and alarming.

We ask Ms Bishop to listen to the concerns of her electorate and to keep asking questions about this development.

Is she aware traffi c from the development will be directed across A-class reserve 19283, which has been in place for 90 years?

That the intended use of local community roads is not part of the improvement plan DHA has presented to the WA Planning Commission?

That new defence houses are being designed to sit back-to-back with new private houses, increasing the nervousness of defence families?

That the improvement plan that has been put to the WAPC does not show the impact of the project on the local community, yet complies with its guidelines?

Sadly, if this shocking development proceeds it will only be after completion, when it is too late, that the full extent of its harmful impact will be felt by both civilian and defence communities.

Heritage upgradelikened to theft

I refer to the report, “Heritage fi ght” (POST, August 29) about Peppermint Grove council’s heritage listing upgrade of 58A Leake Street to category 1.

In a feeble defence of its action, shire president Rachel Thomas said: “Recent information and feedback [from residents] has underlined the importance of identifying and protecting the shire’s heritage.”

In my view, the council’s action in upgrad-ing the heritage listing is like common theft.

It is likely to have devalued the property, has denied the owners their right to deal with their own property in accordance with normal planning conditions, and has fi nancially burdened them with building restrictions and requirements above and beyond the norm.

If this house is deemed so worthy of herit-age protection, then it is the entire commu-nity of Peppermint Grove that should bear the cost of maintaining the property to this standard, not just the owners.

I wonder how many of the councillors, and those residents who provided the feedback to the council, would be willing to fi nancially support their decision?

‘Armani’ scammer strikes againA POST reader who re-

membered a report about an Italian con-artist targeting the western suburbs came face-to-face with the man in Subiaco this week.

Gabrielle Brooks’ father, a West Leederville resident, was approached by the con-man in the Subiaco Coles carpark on Wednesday and asked for his credit card details.

The con-man gave his signa-ture spiel about being lost en route to the airport.

He said he needed to bor-row a credit card to buy his

daughter an Apple computer online to take back to Italy, but he only had cash.

The man, who had an Italian accent and drove a white SUV, gave his victim a business card which said “D. A. Antonio, Fashion Designer, Milano”.

Last month, the POST report-ed that a Cottesloe resident had almost succumbed to the same Armani scam.

The West Leederville resi-dent, a retired surgeon, told the man his wife was in the Brew Ha cafe and she had his credit card.

The con-man followed him

into the cafe but ran away once they were inside.

Gabrielle was also in the cafe and remembered reading about the scam in the POST.

She said her father had thought he was doing the right thing by helping a stranger in need.

“It’s terrible – the man has to be caught,” she said.

T h e D e p a r t m e n t o f Commerce has reported a man with an Italian accent, going by the name of Mr Antonio, is selling jackets which he claims to be leather and made by the designer Giorgio Armani.

Rachel Siewert has been rocking the Senate with re-cycled fashion.

The Greens Senator from WA was inspired by style prompts for 21 days and used op shop clothes for her looks.

“It was part of Restyle, which is part of the Perth Fashion Festival,” Ms Siewert said.

“Every day there was a prompt and you had to fi nd something that went with it.”

Prompts included black and black, dapper, fringe, fl oral, animal print and pencil skirt.

“Some of the more challeng-ing ones included neon and fl uoro,” Ms Siewert said.

“For those I wore a hot pink dress and teamed it with a jacket.

“There were a couple of prompts I couldn’t wear in the Senate – the 90s denim look wasn’t appropriate.”

Ms Siewert had a look around the Salvation Army’s shop in Subiaco’s Rowland Street on Wednesday.

She wasn’t tempted by a pair of Manolo Blahniks for $400 that cost the original owner $1325.

Shop manager Kelly Morris said a woman had donated four pairs of Blahniks that hadn’t been worn.

Ms Siewert said op shops did more than raise money for vul-nerable people and families.

“I’ve found women in par-ticular who are trying to fi nd work often don’t have the outfi ts employers expect of them,” she said.

“I donate to op shops. If I’ve worn something a number of times but it’s still good qual-ity, I would rather someone

else use it.”The campaign fi nished last

Sunday. Aims included en-couraging people to donate to op shops run by the Salvation Army, Red Cross, St Vincent de Paul Society, Good Sammys and Anglicare.

Ms Siewert said several

Senators had asked her where she got her braid jacket from.

She said there were snazzy dressers in the Senate, and they weren’t all female Greens.

“Michaelia Cash doesn’t dress in clothes I would wear, but she looks sharp,” Ms Siewert said.

Claremont in darkon social housingClaremont residents and their

council say they are in the dark over state government plans for an Ashton Avenue block.

The land, on the corner of Mofflin Avenue, is slated for social, affordable, Defence, and full-sale homes.

The Housing Department said the fi nal number and mix of apart-ments would be determined once development approval had been obtained.

Mofflin Avenue resident Richard Smith wrote to Housing Minister Colin Holt seeking information about the depart-ment’s plans.

In his reply, Mr Holt told Dr Smith there would be approxi-mately 25 apartments, but heights and use had not been decided.

“The main concern of residents will be the height of the proposed development, if it goes higher than present housing, and the additional number of cars in an already busy and congested area,”

Dr Smith said.“Also, with no community facili-

ties, there will be a lack of trees and green vegetation, creating a hot concrete jungle that is not conducive to the mental health of its occupants.

“These impacts will not be assessable until the design is available for public comment.

“This process has not been set out.”

A department spokesman said representatives from Defence Housing Australia and the Housing Authority met Claremont council to discuss the proposal on July 30.

“There is no date yet for the fi rst formal presentation to Claremont council,” the spokesman said.

Council CEO Stephen Goode said a Claremont worker had been given an informal briefi ng.

In July, the department said DHA had expressed an interest in about 30% of the homes.

The department said it in-tended to retain up to 10% for social housing and up to 20% for affordable housing.

Police visited the home of the City Beach ice addict twice in one day last weekend and in-terviewed a visitor neighbours feared was a drug dealer.

The fi rst call to police was at 4pm after a man came out of the Tarango Way home and collapsed on the verge.

The addict’s mother also ar-rived. Neighbours said she screamed at police to take her son away, while the addict screamed at his mother to leave.

The offi cers left after 30 min-utes, but were back just before midnight.

“He (the addict) was out the front screaming in his under-pants,” a resident said.

“Police arrived, spoke to him, and left.”

Residents said Sunday was in-termittently noisy as the agitated addict prowled his home.

Police did not reply to a query asking if anyone was arrested or if any charges were laid.

Wilson close to homeSubiaco council isn’t the only

branch of government having a run-in with Wilson Parking.

Since its small beginning in the 1960s, Wilson has grown into a multinational company and Australia’s biggest carpark operator.

Last month, the ACT govern-

ment passed emergency laws to protect the identity of drivers who overstayed in Wilson-run carparks.

Wilson had taken the gov-ernment to court to access the names and addresses of the car owners.

In June, the NT government blocked a court order demand-ing it supply Wilson with the

names of drivers with out-standing fi nes at Royal Darwin Hospital.

Two years before the dispute hit the WA Supreme Court, former POST reporter George Williams was the fi rst journalist to report that Department of Planning and Infrastructure had given Wilson the details of 25,000 vehicle owners in 2008.

A three-week motorcycle char-ity ride across America later this month, which may include Arnold Schwarzenegger, can trace its beginning back to the western suburbs.

The Black Dog Ride will see 65 Australians travel 4300km from New York to Los Angeles from September 13 to October 3 to raise awareness of depression and suicide prevention.

They hope to raise $1million for Mental Health First Aid USA which helps soldiers, police and emergency workers cope with stress and trauma.

The ride starts just after the 14th anniversary of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Centre, the aftermath of which involved thousands of emergency workers.

Former Claremont resident Steve Andrews and long-time friend Subiaco real estate agent Jack Michael organised the ride.

When Steve lost his mother and his best friend lost his wife to suicide, he rode solo across Australia in 2009 to raise aware-ness of mental illness.

Since then the Black Dog Ride has raised $2million in Australia.

Jack, who had been best man at Steve’s wedding, also lost his wife Anna to suicide.

“I had no idea until my wife took her own life that she had even suffered from depression,” said Jack, who will be riding his Harley Davidson on the US tour.

“She kept it from all of us and I only wish I had known anything about it or the warning signs so that I might have had a chance to do something.”

Jack said there was a high

suicide rate among military and emergency service veterans who had a high risk of developing depression, anxiety and post- traumatic stress disorder.

“It is estimated that there is a suicide attempt every 13 minutes in the US and 78% of all suicides in US are by men,” he said.

He said mental health first- aid training could help reduce suicides.

The group hopes former Californian governor, motorcycle enthusiast and Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger will join them near the end of the ride.

They hope to meet many Aussies along the way as well.

Shenton Park Rehab Hospital has closed to make way for high-rise development, but some of its beds have found their way to a new life in Somaliland in Africa.

“The equipment was in very good condition which meant we could donate it for further use,” said RPH director of infrastructure and facilities John Doherty in a hospital newsletter.

He said 46 hospital beds that were not needed in WA had been donated to Australian Doctors for

Africa (ADFA).The beds were shipped to

the Hargeisa Group Hospital in Somaliland, a public hospital for the less fortunate.

In a thank-you letter to RPH, Rachael Maritanu from ADFA said: “The donation has been gratefully received by the hospital and com-munity.

“The beds will be serviceable for many years and are a major improvement to a newly renovated ward.”

Infill hits the courtsRatepayers have asked the Supreme Court

to step into the Cambridge infi ll housing row.The Coast Ward Ratepayers’ Association

lodged papers with the court last week asking it to review the council’s decision to change the town planning scheme.

A hearing is due in just over a week.Cambridge’s Amendment 31 to allow for

higher density and reduced setbacks on larger blocks brought an outcry from many residents.

They raised $60,000 to fi ght it in court.Protesting residents fear the Amendment,

now being considered by the WA Planning Commission, will severely degrade the “garden suburb” character of City Beach and Floreat.

Defenders of the plan say it will allow more housing options with little impact.

Papers lodged with the court reveal the grounds challenge the legality of votes on Amendment 31 at two meeting of Cambridge council, citing lack of quorums because of alleged fi nancial interest of mayor Simon Withers, heritage issues, and allegedly mislead-ing notices advertising the proposed changes.

“We’ve heard it all before and we do not accept the claims,” Mr Withers said. “Our law-yers will respond and the court will decide.”• Why we’re taking legal action: Letter page 36.

A planned meeting between Subiaco council and Wilson Parking last Tuesday was cancelled after a group of councillors objected.

Some councillors threatened to call an emergency council meeting to order the CEO, Ian Hill, not to meet the private carpark operator.

Mr Hill had said after last week’s council meeting that he would meet Wilson for a discussion.

At that council meeting, Wilson was

branded a “corporate psychopath” and councillors voted for a report to the September 22 council meeting which could end an agreement with the company.

Councillor Murray Rowe said in an email on Monday morning this week: “I notice there is still intent to hold a meeting with Wilsons prior to the report on this situation coming to council.

“There are a number of councillors who do NOT agree with that proposal.

“If you are intending to proceed with a meeting then please take this as

immediate notice from that point of a calling of a special meeting of council to consider that action.”

Mr Rowe, who owns and operates a pharmacy in Rokeby Road, said the large amount of feedback to councillors had highlighted the need for the issue to be carefully managed.

“The community wants its council to support business and residents alike to achieve better parking amenity includ-ing access, considerate management and reasonable cost,” Mr Rowe said.

Wilson Parking talks pinged

St Hilda’s Year 11 student Emily Price is heading to Melbourne next week to collect the inaugural Dr Roneal Naidu Award for research on environment, food quality and human health – but it’s a trip she didn’t expect to be making.

“As part of the community service component for my silver Duke of Edinburgh Award, I decided to research the different levels of mer-cury in fi sh and the health impacts this can have on consumers,” Emily said.

She said her project was inspired by Professor Ravi Naidu, managing direc-tor of the Co-operative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (CRC Care), which is sponsoring the award.

“The research took a cou-ple of weeks of going through existing unprocessed data and collating my fi ndings,” Emily said.

“I looked at mercury levels in a variety of fi sh species from a range of locations across the world and was really surprised at the po-tential health impact even small levels of mercury can have.

“I have always assumed that eating fi sh was a good source of protein, and fi sh oil is also promoted as having incredible health benefi ts.

“But there are people who can be at risk with even low mercury levels.

“It was quite an eye-open-er to learn that widely sold common tinned tuna can be a major culprit.

“Unbeknown to me, Professor Naidu shared my report with a few of his colleagues at CRC Care and it inspired them to begin a high-school essay competi-tion that focuses on environ-mental sustainability and a safer, cleaner environmental future.

Paul makes his final Great EscapePaul Royle, whose death

in Nedlands last week at 101 left just one survivor of the famous Great Escape, had no idea why the Germans didn’t shoot him.

But the clue might be in his name.

In 1944, 76 of a planned 250 prisoners tunnelled their way out from Stalag Luft 111, emerging near forest outside the barbed wire, Paul told the POST in 2009.

But a guard spotted number 77 and sounded the alarm.

By then, Paul and his escape partner, Englishman Edgar Humphreys, were half-an-hour away, but 24 hours later as they moved through a village at midnight, the healthy young men were spotted by home guardsmen and recaptured.

Only three of the 76 had made it to neutral countries and freedom.

A furious Adolph Hitler ordered that the re-captured escapees be shot.

But Paul was among those spared, with two other prison-ers, one named Nelson and the other Churchill, who were not shot because the Gestapo believed they had famous relatives.

British man Dick Churchill (94) is now the only surviving member of the legendary prison break.

Hitler was so enraged by the escape that the Gestapo even executed the German soldiers who had failed to report the theft of wire that the escaping

airmen had used when they rigged lights in their tunnel under Stalag Luft 111.

Prisoners had dug three tunnels, nicknamed Tom, Dick and Harry.

Paul had helped spread soil dug from Harry by fi lling false trouser legs with dirt, pulling a piece of string to release a nail securing the bottom of each, then walking new dirt through old in the exercise yard.

Prisoners used 4000 bed boards to shore up the sand inside the tunnels.

“In the end it made the beds pretty uncomfortable,” Paul said.

Tunnelling was an activity common to most German prison camps, but on his return to the camp Paul was grilled by Australian pilot – and peace time Sydney newspaper repor-er – Paul Brickhill, who wrote

the book, The Great Escape.It was later made into the

movie starring American pris-oners and a motorbike, neither of which featured in the real thing, Paul said.

His fl ying days had ended early in the war, in May 1940, when the light Blenheim bomber he was piloting at al-most zero feet was shot down over northern France by much faster German fi ghters.

After the war he returned to Kalgoorlie and mining as an engineer, married twice and had fi ve children and eight grandchildren.

He retired to Dean Street, Claremont, and then to Hollywood Village in Nedlands.

He died in nearby Hollywood Hospital after breaking his hip in a fall.

A memorial service was held on Wednesday.

Oliver conquers English Channel

No amount of Rottnest swims could have prepared University of WA law student Oliver Mills for the English Channel.

Oliver said he spent more than a year training for the swim, with two solo crossings to Rottnest, long hours in the pool and three early morning swims a week in the Swan River.

“Even swimming the Channel doesn’t pre-pare you for swimming the Channel, because it changes so often,” Oliver said.

The English Channel is 35km across, but strong tides mean swimmers can be forced to swim almost double this distance.

Oliver, a former Scotch College student, came close to failing.

He set off on July 11 in perfect conditions, but after 11 hours of swimming, just 6km from his destination, the pilot of Oliver’s support boat aborted the swim due to rough conditions.

Devastated, he decided he couldn’t give up, changed his fl ight home, and waited in the UK for favourable weather so he could have another shot.

After 10 days of waiting anxiously for con-ditions to improve, Oliver got a text from his skipper to say the window of opportunity was open – he had three hours to prepare for a night-time crossing.

He set off about 10pm on July 31 and arrived in France at 11.19am on August 1.

Oliver said despite the swells, jellyfi sh and cold water, he had never wanted to give up.

“Strong tides off the coast of France delayed the fi nish signifi cantly, with the last 2km into the beach taking a gruelling two hours, as a three-knot tide tried to throw me back into the ocean,” he said.

Oliver’s coach, former Australian long-distance swimmer Shelley Taylor-Smith, said he had shown extraordinary discipline and dedication.

“It takes a champion mindset to make the toughest of decisions to return to the English Channel less than two weeks after the swim was aborted,” she said.

Oliver was on the front page of the POST in 2010 when, despite a broken arm, he became the youngest solo swimmer in the Rottnest Channel Swim.

He said after accomplishing the Rottnest swim so young, he had set his sights on the Channel.

“With swimming it’s about what’s next,” he said.

Mission accomplished … Oliver Mills swam the English Channel twice in less than two weeks.

Greens support 11 council candidatesThe Greens are encouraging

their members to stand in next month’s council elections.

The party says there will be 11 candidates across the metropoli-tan area, who they will help with training and support.

Greens (WA) co-convener Giz Watson would not confi rm in which councils members would stand.

The POST has heard there could be candidates in Subiaco, Cambridge, Nedlands, Vincent and perhaps Victoria Park.

Ms Watson said: “We are ask-ing members who are interested in local government to consider putting their hands up and we’ll assist in the process.”

Ms Watson said some members who were keen to put their hands up had approached the party for help.

She said it was the fi rst time the Greens had offered this level of training and support, though the party had run basic information sessions about local government for the past 10 years.

She said the party would not be endorsing any candidates.

“If one of our members is a candidate in a local government

election they may seek the support of their local or regional group, but this is not a requirement,” Ms Watson said.

She said in past years some local and regional Greens groups had done some local fundraising to help candidates with leafl ets or advertising.

“It will be the same at this elec-tion,” Ms Watson said.

“The only additional funding is to hold information and training sessions, which are being funded from our central budget.”

Ms Watson said it was well known the ALP and the Liberals were active in encouraging their members and supporters on to councils.

“Most recently the Liberals made a concerted effort to gain the numbers on local councils to push through the government’s amalgamation agenda,” she said.

“The ALP use local government as a training ground for state and federal parliament. The City of Vincent is just one obvious ex-ample.

“The Greens have always been strong advocates for local govern-ment and welcome more members of local government that share our values and vision.”

Boris Baer is trying to save the world.

The UWA professor is inves-tigating how to keep Australian bees alive and will talk about his work during the university’s Research Week.

“These prime pollinating insects are so important,” Professor Baer said. “About a third of what we eat has to be pollinated.

“We are sitting on the last remaining healthy bees on earth and we’re trying to keep this Noah’s Ark as it is.”

Australia is the only continent not to have been hit by the var-roa mite, which is disastrous for bees.

The US has lost 10 million hives in the past six years.

“These animals are extremely complicated,” Professor Baer said. “One hive of 40,000 bees has the neurons of two human brains.”

“A hive collectively fl ies hun-dreds of times around the globe every day.”

Professor Baer’s lecture starts at noon next Thursday, September 10, at the Wilsmore lecture theatre in the chemistry building.

Keeping bees healthy

Kill Bill, says ClaremontThe state government’s City

of Perth Bill looks like it was written on the back of a nap-kin, a Claremont councillor said on Tuesday night.

The Bill was excoriated at the meeting. Other descriptions were “beyond comprehension”, “makes no sense”, terribly draft-ed”, and “disenfranchising”.

“This is the worst Bill I’ve ever read,” deputy mayor Bruce Haynes said.

Claremont CEO Stephen Goode’s report recommended the council express concern about the Bill.

Mr Goode said unless good explanations could be made for Perth council taking parts

of Subiaco and Nedlands, the Bill should be withdrawn from Parliament.

“The initial impetus from this Bill is remembered from the rhetoric around the Robson Report, being that Perth should enhance its status and its capacity like

Cut this fee, say hairdressersClaremont hairdressers

say they won’t pay a new $50 council fee.

“I ripped mine up and put it in the bin,” said Shane Dias, who has a salon in Old Theatre Lane.

“I pay $4000-something in rates. I don’t understand why we have to pay this.

“If we stick together, let’s see what they do about it.”

Claremont council said the new fee would cover biannual inspections of hairdressers,

beauty therapists and other businesses under the Health Act.

It started in July.Josie Doria, at Luciano’s

in Claremont Quarter, was incensed when she got two invoices instead of one.

“If we all refuse to pay it, they’ve got nowhere to go,” she said.

Thomas Jaeger, whose salon is near the library, also said he would not pay the new fee.

“Claremont is the ninth

government department to charge me,” he said.

“The Health Act dates from 1911 – that’s how ridiculous it is.

“I believe we pay enough in rates.”

Claremont pays a contractor to do health inspections on businesses.

In its letter to businesses, the council said: “This fee is believed to be set at a reason-able rate and at minimal cost to business.”

‘People power can stop Link’People power is the only way to

prevent the controversial Perth Freight Link from progressing, a Cottesloe residents’ meeting heard this week.

Opposition Leader Mark McGowan told a packed Cottesloe Residents and Ratepayers’ Association meeting the state government planned to sign off on the Freight Link by November.

But Mr McGowan told them to remember shark culling and forced local government amalgamations.

“People went out there and had a go and protested,” he said.

“Shark culling is now no longer happening and forced local gov-ernment amalgamations are off the agenda.

“So sometimes getting out there and having a go pays dividends.”

Greens senator Scott Ludlam told the meeting: “How we win this is by campaigning until they are convinced that if they persist they will lose the next election.

“You folk happen to live in the electorate of the federal Foreign Minister and you are in the elec-torate of the Premier,” Mr Ludlam said.

Last week, Premier Colin Barnett

said the Roe 8 highway stage of the Perth Freight Link would undoubtedly go ahead.

But he did not know how the fi nal stage – connecting Stirling Highway to the Fremantle port – would be built.

Curtin University sustainability expert Peter Newman agreed the best course of action was to lobby the Premier.

“I personally think the only real hope is with Colin Barnett,” Professor Newman said.

“In that cabinet we can already see a division appearing.

“[Transport Minister] Dean Nalder and [Senator] Mathias Cormann are saying they will build it, it’s complete, it’s happening.

“And the Premier is stepping back and saying: ‘Well, we don’t even know what we’re building for that second part’.”

Association chairman John Hammond urged those at the meet-ing to write to Mr Barnett and said Cottesloe council had a hopeless attitude towards the issue.

“Cottesloe council has decided not to do anything about this issue,” he said.

Anzac centenary inspired artistLocal artist Jen Mellor

drew inspiration from the Anzac centenary when creat-ing her submission for this year’s Claremont Art Award and Exhibition.

Her painting depicts the King’s Park’s Honour Avenue and features three fi rewood banksia fl owers in different stages of life.

“It has a meaning of life and end, and how we’ve grown these trees along Honour Avenue to remember people’s

lives,” she said.Jen, a plein air artist, said

she enjoyed painting nature and botanicals.

“My favourite subject mat-ter is the beauty of my sur-rounds,” she said.

“King’s Park has become my backyard. You will fi nd me often visiting, gathering reference and inspiration to capture the beauty of Western Australian fl ora on to a canvas.

“Painting is my passion – it takes me to another place.”

Jen was a fi nalist in the Black Swan Heritage Awards in 2012 and her paintings are represented in WA galleries.

Her Anzac-inspired oil painting is one of the fi nalists in the art award.

The exhibition will be held at council headquarters, 308 Stirling Highway, from September 12 to 25.

Visitors to the exhibition can vote for their favourite artwork and be in the running to win $500.

Maggie season swoops inResidents are reminded that with Spring now upon us, it’s time to stay alert and be on the lookout for swooping magpies.Magpies have a very strong urge to protect their eggs and nests and during the breeding season are known to swoop cyclists and walkers who unwittingly stray into their territory.

Some tips to avoid being swooped:

• Stay alert for possible nesting sites and, if necessary, change your walk/cycle route during the nesting season;

• Wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your head and eyes;

• Supervise children at all times;

• If swooped when walking - remain calm, walk away quickly (do not run), avoid looking directly at the magpie;

• If swooped when riding - remain calm, disembark and walk with your bike (the magpie may stop swooping); and

• Do not provoke or harass magpies by trying to hit them, screaming, flapping your arms or throwing objects at their nests.

Please remember that magpies are protected under the Wildlife Conservation Act and that their swooping behaviour is just their way of protecting their young.

Recycling household items, that cannot be placed in the yellow-lidded recycling bin, just got a whole lot easier with the Town installing new multi-purpose recycling stations at convenient locations around the Town.

Residents can dispose of old fluorescent tubes, light globes, printer cartridges, batteries and mobile phones at the new stations, which can be found at:

• Town of Cambridge Administration, 1 Bold Park Drive, Floreat• Cambridge Library, 99 The Boulevard, Floreat; and• Wembley Community Centre, 40 Alexander Street, Wembley

A fourth recycling station will be positioned at the new Bold Park Aquatic when it reopens in October.

The new recycling stations are part of the Town of Cambridge’s commitment to Maximum Recovery and contribute to helping us maximise the amount we recycle and minimise the amount we send to landfill.

On-request mattress collection for Cambridge residentsResidents are invited to take advantage of the Town’s free on-request mattress collection and recycling service.

As part of our Maximum Recovery Program any size mattress and box springs will be collected and recycled, reducing the amount of waste we send to landfill.

Collected mattresses will be disassembled and repurposed, with the metal used as scrap, the wadding turned into carpet underlay and the frame and springs converted into dog beds.

Collections are made every Thursday and items should be placed on the verge by 6am on the day, and be visible and easily accessible.

Station crossing to be made safer The pedestrian island in

Railway Road opposite Daglish Railway Station will be wid-ened and extended in a bid to make it safer.

The work will lengthen the is-land to 100m and widen it to 2m, making it safer for pedestrians crossing near the busy intersec-tion with Hamersley Road.

The wider pedestrian island was the last option open to Subiaco council after Main Roads WA rejected a call for traffi c lights or a pelican cross-ing, which the council and a community group had wanted.

Main Roads said the site did not meet the criteria needed for it to install either a traffi c

signal control system (which would cost about $450,000) or a signalised pedestrian crossing (about $280,000).

A council-commissioned study found that more than 14,000 cars a day used Railway Road, while 1700 used Hamersley Road and up to 724 people a day crossed the road there.

The traffi c study also found that there had been 14 crashes at that spot, including one in-volving a pedestrian.

“While Main Roads acknowl-edges the concerns council has for pedestrians who utilise this crossing, the provision of new traffi c signals and pelican crossing cannot be supported in this instance,” Main Roads told Subiaco in a letter.

“[We] suggest that council con-sider widening the median ref-uge islands on Railway Road to assist pedestrian movements.”

Darron Freegard, a member of the Daglish Crossing Community

Group, told councillors at a recent committee meeting that the group was profoundly dis-appointed with the response of Main Roads.

He said that as well as follow-

ing general policies, Main Roads could also factor site-specifi c issues into its decision.

“The reality is that Main Roads has failed to consider the local conditions and spe-cifi cally the use of the cross-ing by schoolchildren and a disproportionate number of the elderly people living in our community,” he said.

Mr Freegard said the group would campaign for a controlled crossing but would accept a wider refuge as an interim solution.

Councillors at last week’s council meeting voted unani-mously to fast-track designs and funding (an estimated $180,000) for the upgraded crossing in the November budget review.

Too narrow … Cyclists and pedestrians have trouble crossing busy Railway Road with the current refuge island.

Cafe approval ‘imminent’Planning approval for the

new Peppermint Grove cafe at Keane’s Point is imminent, the council says.

CEO John Merrick said he was waiting on the fi nal building plans for the Mosmans-run operation.

“I predict approval within a week or two and then we can sort out a construction timetable,” Mr Merrick said.

“The building will be construct-

ed mostly off-site and so should be a fairly short completion time.”

The site is occupied by Cappuc-cino by the River. Operator Kenny Nguyen has been on a month-by-month tenancy since Mosmans restaurant won a council tender last year.

Mr Nguyen, who has run the business for about four years, tendered with eight others but was not on the shortlist of three.

PLC ladies in waiting …Ayad Alqaragholli was

mobbed after his newest sculpture was unveiled in Peppermint Grove.

The artist’s 400kg bronze at Presbyterian Ladies’ College features two elongated women dancing on a sofa.

Ayad said it taken him about a year to create the work.

It was unveiled last Thursday in front of PLC principal Beth Blackwood, dozens of students and parents, and the school’s pipe band.

Ms Blackwood said she counted Ayad, who has been an

artist-in-residence at PLC, as a precious friend of the school.

“This sculpture will stand here as a landmark,” Ms Blackwood said.

“It is designed to be interac-tive and we hope a tradition is formed of students being photographed here when they arrive at PLC.”

Ms Blackwood said girls had wanted joy, friendship and community to be represented in the sculpture, which was unveiled the day after the school marked its centenary.

The artwork was unveiled on Ayad’s 47th birthday.

He was born in southern Iraq and migrated to Australia

with his wife and two children in 2005.

“When I was in primary school, I used to go to museums in Mesopotamia and look at the sculptures,” Ayad said.

“It is important for people to be engaged with art.”

Ayad has had work at Sculpture by the Sea in Cottesloe since 2010.

He said the human fi gure was very important in art.

“Nature without people is nothing,” he said.

“The fi gure is the most beau-tiful creation in nature.”

The school will run a compe-tition to fi nd a name for Ayad’s sculpture.

Seven trees will be cut down when the carpark on the corner of Shenton and Davies roads, Claremont, is sealed next year.

On Tuesday night, councillors voted unanimously to spend $387,000 on the work.

A report to councillors did not mention trees – but Myera Street resident and Friends of Lake Claremont coordinator Heidi Hardisty quizzed councillors about what would be cut down.

Corporate governance manager Les Crichton said the carpark tuarts would stay, but seven smaller trees, including four paperbarks, would have to be removed.

Mr Crichton said more trees would be planted elsewhere.

Councillor Karen Wood said: “I use this carpark a lot and I

love the trees in it.“There’s just no way we can

leave it in this state.“The big tree in the middle

is one of the best in Claremont. I’m absolutely delighted it’s staying.”

Upgrading the carpark will cost $584,000. LandCorp will contribute $197,000.

Work is expected to begin after March next year, after Shenton Road works are done, and is expected to take fi ve weeks.

After the meeting, mayor Jock Barker said Claremont had 1000, or 20%, more trees than it did fi ve years ago, as well as at least 15,000 plantings.

Trees to make way for cars

Trees to go … But this tuart will stay, Claremont council says.

Board Treasurer required for a not-for-profit retirement village based in the western suburbs of Perth. Lisle Villages (Inc.) is an independent retirement village, comprising 137 independent living units.

Position Overview.In conjunction with the Chief Executive Officer, the Treasurer is tasked with keeping the finances healthy so the Association can achieve its mission.

The Treasurer should have the ability for critical appraisal, can contribute to strategic planning and be creative about generating funds. Recognised Australian qualifications in accounting are essential. A working knowledge of the provisions of the Retirement Villages Act 2015, the Fair Trading Code (Retirement Villages) 2015 and the Associations Incorporation Act will be highly regarded.

Some people on the Association’s Board do not have well developed financial skills and it is important the Treasurer is able to explain the finance report simply and clearly.

The main duties of the Treasurer are to oversee the financial administration of the Association, review procedures and financial reporting, advise the Board on financial strategy, advise on appropriate investing of the Association’s cash reserves and review the Investment Policy on a regular basis.

While Lisle Villages (Inc.) is a not-for-profit organisation, the Board understand that people should be compensated for their time. A salary of up to $1,000 per month, plus any reasonable expenses will be negotiated with the successful applicant.

NEWS UPDATESEPTEMBER 2015

UPCOMING CAPITAL WORKS IN A PARK NEAR YOUThe Parks Services department has the following projects scheduled to start in September/October 2015:

• Installing solar-powered bollard lighting in the turfed access way between Haldane St and Montgomery Ave, Mt Claremont. This also includes lighting the laneway connecting Earls Court. The use of solar power is in line with the City’s sustainability focus while ensuring the lighting does not prove obtrusive to nearby residents.

• Extending existing bollard lighting from the corner of Beecham Rd and Cleland St to Montgomery Ave, Mt Claremont. This will provide added safety and security to path users enjoying the bushland setting walk.

• Replacing Sunset Foreshore bollard lighting following increasing maintenance. These lights run from the Iris Ave staircase to Beaton Park. The replacement lighting will be LED, in line with the City’s sustainability focus.

• Resurfacing Hollywood Tennis Courts. This will require the courts to be closed for about a week. These works will extend the life and functionality of this facility. Works will include court grinding, tree root removal, resurfacing and line marking. The City will be liaising with the court booking agent and affected coaching groups.

• Installing modern outdoor fitness equipment at Mason Gardens, Nedlands. Designs are currently being evaluated for suitability at the park and for the best location.

NEDLANDS LIBRARY TALK - WHAT

IS COELIAC DISEASE?

If you have coeliac disease, going gluten-free is imperative - as it is for those with the lesser gluten intolerance. With two daughters and a sister all diagnosed with coeliac disease, Nikki Watson of Coeliac WA has learnt a lot about this condition.

Nikki will talk about identifying the signs that say gluten is not for you and learn what to do about it. If it’s not that, she will also give advice on what else could be causing the symptoms.

Learn about gluten free foods (they have come a long way), and how this condition is very manageable.

FOOTPATHS AND OBSTRUCTIONS

The City of Nedlands recognises that many residents put substantial effort into developing and maintaining gardens on their property and the nature strip.

The City generally supports overhanging shading of footpaths, parked cars and roadways. However, vegetation from private property or nature strip gardens can grow to encroach onto public thoroughfares and reduce required clearances. These vegetation obstructions can be a problem, particularly for people with reduced mobility or access difficulties.

Residents are responsible for ensuring that vegetation located on private property, or any plant they place on the nature strip (other than a street tree), does not grow in a manner that may cause obstruction to a footpath or laneway.

Where the City observes plants or trees are causing obstruction, the resident will receive notice to prune the vegetation away from the footpath or laneway. Failure to remove the obstructing vegetation may lead to the City issuing an infringement.

DOGS OFF LEAD IN PARKS

The City has recently had an increasing number of close encounters with dogs running in front of lawn mowing tractors and causing a nuisance around mowing equipment. Please keep in mind that these open space areas are used for other recreational purposes and need to be maintained constantly by the City’s Park staff. Please ensure you are capable of controlling your dog while exercising it off leash and that your dog is not causing a nuisance to other park users.

SNAKE SEASON

Spring is here, so snakes will be coming out of hibernation. Snakes are especially conspicuous in the spring when they first emerge from winter dormancy searching for food. The City encourages visitors to our beaches and bushland areas to be vigilant and to consider keeping their dogs on a leash.

Davenport makes asilk road road to MLC

Fashion designer Liz Davenport has given rolls of fabric to Methodist Ladies’ College students.

She had accumulated them over the 30 years before she closed her Nedlands headquar-ters last year.

But despite the closure she said she had never been busier.

“It’s great being just Liz Davenport,” she said.

“I’ve taken myself out of com-pliance and administration and I’m just focusing on design.”

As well as giving the textiles – including Thai silks – to the Claremont school, Liz donated a huge cutting table, zips, buttons, beads, and sequins.

The link to MLC was the school’s part-time theatre arts assistant Nicola Morrison.

“Nicola walked in one day to get some fabric,” Liz said.

“I said, ‘Just help yourself’.

“When we shifted from the headquarters there was 30 years’ worth of things around every corner.

“They were precious, but needed to fi nd a home.”

One student’s projects were Thai silk corsets.

Liz said Thailand’s Queen Sirikit was a champion of her country’s silk-making cottage industry.

The silks Liz donated are pre-dyed. It takes great skill to weave the fabric.

On Monday, Liz looked at Year 10 students’ projects, including Rachel Osborne’s sleeveless river cruise dress in stretched silk.

“I’ve been studying design and textiles since Year 7,” Rachel said.

MLC’s head of textiles Cheryl Lundy has seen her students win the top Year 12 WACE mark in the subject for the past fi ve years.

Cheryl has been teaching tex-tiles there for the past 15 years.

“It’s creative and innovative and kids are allowed to do their own things,” she said.

Heads roll at iiNet

Heads have already started to roll in the fi rst week of new management at iiNet, and more Subiaco staff could follow.

The internet and technology fi rm’s chief ex-ecutive, David Buckingham, was ousted from the top job last week.

Other senior managers are also reported to have left the company, which has been based in Hay Street since 2009.

The Financial Review reported that the new owner had also cut the staff’s free sweets and fruit.

Former rival TPG’s $1.6billion takeover of iiNet started on July 24 and would seem to have started a cull of senior staff that could spread to the Subiaco head offi ce, which em-ploys about 650 people.

Around the time of the takeover, Michael Malone, the Perth entrepreneur who set up iiNet in his parents’ garage in 1993, said he was worried for the jobs and security of his former employees.

In an interview with the business press, TPG chief operating offi cer Craig Levy said iiNet’s call centre would stay in Perth, but did not guarantee job levels.

Rail motion sunkSinking the railway line would make a huge

difference for Cottesloe, Jack Walsh says.But a majority of his colleagues did not

agree to his motion to lobby Cottesloe MP and Premier Colin Barnett about the initiative.

Instead, councillors last week went with mayor Jo Dawkins’ move to develop a plan for the town centre and railway land.

“Cottesloe has had several approaches for spot [zoning] upgrades,” Mr Walsh said at last week’s meeting.

“We should be doing it in blocks.“Sinking the track would make a huge dif-

ference to Cottesloe.“Rezoning would go a long way to paying

for the sinking.”Councillor Jay Birnbrauer said Cottesloe had

pushed for the sinking six years ago.“It’s long overdue,” Mr Birnbrauer said.Ms Dawkins said she did not disagree.But she said the council needed to defi ne what

it wanted to do, include the town centre, and have development options for Station Street.

The vote against Mr Walsh’s motion was 6-3; the vote for Ms Dawkins’ was 7-2.

Council CEO Mat Humfrey will prepare a report for this month’s council meeting.

Some Cottesloe councillors would like to see the railway underground.

Boys will be girls

This week prefects from St Hilda’s and Christ Church Grammar School faced off on the netball court.

In a long-standing tradition, St Hilda’s invites its brother school for the contest as a fundraiser for Anglicare WA.

Cross-dressing was the order of the day, and unfortunately for the girls, brute force won out despite hopes that the skirts would slow the boys down.

The fi nal score was 10:2 to Christ Church.

The gold netball trophy was considered to be worth the ef-fort, as well as the hundreds of dollars raised from spectators.

Boatshed gets liquor licenceIt’s taken the state govern-

ment 71 days to approve a liquor licence being shifted 400m.

This week, a delegate for Liquor Licensing director Barry Sergeant said the Boatshed Market in Cottesloe’s Jarrad Street could use the licence of Railway Street’s Grant’s of Cottesloe, which closed in February.

The Boatshed’s Craig Skead said it would be six months before the fi rst bottle was sold.

“We will now apply for a de-velopment application from the Town of Cottesloe and then pro-ceed to tender and fi nally build the wine shop,” Mr Skead said.

“We are using the old boat building gantry system to sus-pend the wine store – bringing back a bit more of the building’s history into the business.”

America’s Cup-winning yacht Australia II was built at the site when it was a boatshed.

Congerton reappointedSwan council lor Mel

Congerton has been reap-pointed chairman of the Local Government Advisory Board for another three years.

Mr Congerton has been on the LGAB, which makes recommen-dations about council mergers and boundary changes to the state government, since 2008 and his current term as chairman expired last Monday.

Responding to a query from the POST, a senior media adviser to Local Government Minister Tony Simpson said Mr Congerton had been reap-pointed as chairman.

Mr Congerton, who also sits on a development assessment panel, presided over the LGAB

during the state government’s failed council cull policy.

T h e L G A B a c c e p t e d Cambridge’s proposal to swallow up Subiaco and recommended it to the Minister.

Morawa councillor Karen Chappel, who was a deputy member of the fi ve-person panel, replaces Kalgoorlie-Boulder mayor Ron Yuryevich as a full-time member.

Bunbury mayor Gary Brennan has been made a deputy member of the LGAB.

Mr Brennan was chief of staff for almost fi ve years to former local government minister John Castrilli.

Their terms run until August 31, 2018.

City Beach snakes … get used to themThere are always snakes at

City Beach, Rod Bradley wants to remind people.

And they are not necessarily confi ned to the dunes or the bush, he says.

Mr Bradley, a Cambridge councillor, wants people to take extra care since a woman died after being bitten by a snake near Fremantle last month.

Mr Bradley, a grandfather of six, said he had found poisonous snakes in his swimming pool and on the steps near his front door as well as signs of one in

a shed at his home in Lowanna Way, City Beach.

“I opened the door to the shed and there was the whole skin of a snake intact,” he said.

“Another day I stepped out of the front door and there was a snake stretched out across the top step, basking in the sun.

“It slid away into a crack be-tween the bricks and when the snake catcher came we could see it poking its head out but it went too far in for him to catch it.”

Mr Bradley is standing for re-election to Cambridge council.

Rod Bradley found a snake skin but no snake in his shed.

Pedestrian Safety a Town PriorityFollowing a recent traffic count and speed study of Bay View Terrace in the town centre, it was noted that speeds entering Bay View Terrace from Gugeri Street were higher than warranted. The current legal speed in the shared pedestrian and vehicle space is 10km/h. For the safety of pedestrians in the Terrace, a new traffic calming speed hump has been installed at the Gugeri Street entrance. Main Roads WA have agreed with the Town to formally sign Bay View Terrace as a “Shared Zone”. New signage will be installed to remind drivers that Bay View Terrace is a shared zone and pedestrians have priority as per the Road Traffic Code 2000.

Actually, it is duckling crossing season. Each year around this time, parent ducks are making the arduous journey, with their new ducklings in tow, from breeding areas near the Swan River through to the safe haven of Lake Claremont. Drivers are asked to be vigilant when driving in and around the town centre and to help these lovely little ducks if you can.

The Royal Show is just around the corner, commencing 26 September. The Town has been working hard to develop parking and traffic management strategies to manage the

expected additional vehicles in the area. A campaign to encourage the wider community to take public transport to

the Show will commence shortly. For further information, please visit www.claremont.wa.gov.au

Runners get the message

Conservationists were out in force at the City to Surf run.

Armed with banners and placards, they took the chance to pinpoint the threatened Underwood Avenue bush to run-ners tackling what has become known as heartbreak hill past Underwood Avenue Bushland.

Margaret Owen, from the Friends of Underwood Avenue Bushland, said: “The stand of Banksia prionotes on the north side of the bushland is one of the biggest around and provides food to support the carnaby’s cockatoos while they are in the area in the non-breeding season.”

Bush campaigners spelled out their message to runners about the im-portance of the Underwood Avenue site on the route that is threatened

with development.

Sunday morning dog-walkers were only one hazard as the marathon ran through Subiaco.

Every marathon runner was off ered a free high-fi ve in Bagot Road, Subiaco.

ABOVE: City to Surf runners choke Hay Street, Subiaco, as far as the eye can see from the Subiaco Hotel to Princess Margaret Hospital.

RIGHT: Runners are off ered a sugar hit of free sweets as they cross Rokeby Road,

Surf here we come

The message about parking restrictions during the City to Surf seems to be getting through to motorists.

Each year, drivers caught out illegally parking complain they have been unfairly treated, but Cambridge council staff said the number of tickets issued was down this year.

Council CEO Jason Buckley said: “The City to Surf resulted in 46 parking notices being

issued, which included four cautions,” Mr Buckley said.

“It is a signifi cant reduction from last year, when 82 tickets, including 19 cautions, were issued.

“This could be attributed to a slight reduction in competitor numbers, but could also be the result of greater driver aware-ness of the parking restrictions and, as a result, better driver behaviour.”

Parking tickets down

Western suburb streets came alive with runners and volunteers on Sunday as tens of thousands of participants brought fun and fi t-ness to our doorsteps.

According to the organisers, more than 50,000 people took part in the City to Surf run, which over its 41-year history has evolved into four runs over a variety of routes.

The day kicked off at 6am with the start of the full 42km marathon. Other events are the half-marathon, 12km City to Surf run and walk, and the 4km run/walk/wheelchair.

Friends, relatives and locals turned out to cheer on and encourage the participants, while some motorists who had forgotten about the traffi c stops got caught in snarls.

Apart from the start and fi nish, Subiaco was a centre of huge activity, with local radio station Nova taking full advantage of its location.

Nun on the run.

Despite protests, Cott won’t fight link

Cottesloe council has voted twice not to oppose the Perth Freight Link.

Two public demonstrations against the $1.6billion project – a road link between Fremantle port and Perth’s eastern indus-trial suburbs – have been held, but at the July council meeting, the vote to oppose the link was lost, 3-5.

The council has now voted twice by slim majorities not to oppose the freight link.

The fi rst time was on June 22, when mayor Jo Dawkins used her casting vote to join councillors Philip Angers and Peter Jeanes to defeat a motion to oppose the link.

Councillors Jack Walsh, Sally Pyvis and Jay Birnbrauer voted to oppose the link.

At its meeting on July 27, the same three councillors were outvoted on the same issue by councillors Jeanes, Angers, Rob Rowell, Katrina Downes, and Helen Burke. Mrs Dawkins was absent.

Before the council voted on opposing the link, Grant Street resident Peter Rattigan said councillors should fi ght it.

“I urge this council to oppose what is going to be a waste of money,” Mr Rattigan said.

“Put money into the outer harbour instead – that would take trucks off all suburban roads, particularly Cottesloe.”

Ms Pyvis said she disagreed with a council administration report which said a report about the link by Professor Peter Newman had not been based on references.

“There are many references,

many being to government docu-ments,” Ms Pyvis said.

“The Perth Freight Link is a road that leads to nowhere.

“There are so many unan-swered questions.

“A detailed business plan supporting the PFL has not been released.

“Where is the transparency?”Mr Rowell said fuel tankers

would still be in the area until a fuel line was built from North Fremantle to Armadale.

“We will continue to have con-tainer trucks going to Osborne Park and Wangara,” he said.

“The Perth Freight Link has nothing to do with Curtin Avenue and West Coast Highway traffi c.”

Mr Walsh also disagreed with the council report.

“Main Roads says there will be a 42% leakage from the Perth Freight Link to roads,” Mr Walsh said.

Acting mayor Mr Jeanes said the worst-case scenario was that nothing happened.

He said the Perth Freight Link would be better than nothing.

Premier Colin Barnett was invited to speak at the link forum held last Tuesday in the Cottesloe Civic Centre.

But he refused to attend, telling the local ratepayers’ association that advertising for the meeting was under the banner of Rethink the Link, and the event appeared to be a political debate.

Ms Dawkins said Main Roads had told council offi cers the Freight Link’s intention was to provide a safe route and remove heavy vehicles from roads other than the Link.

This would include roads in Cottesloe, she said.

Keeping Alice’s adventures aliveAlice’s Adventures in

Wonderland had transcended time, Methodist Ladies’ College teacher/librarian Deborah Bourke said.

Students dressed up as char-acters from the book last week to mark the 150th anniversary of its publication.

“The story of Alice, the bored little girl who went in search of adventures, has been entertain-ing children ever since Lewis Carroll fi rst told the story to

the children of a friend,” Ms Bourke said.

“The real Alice was one of those children.

“It still sparks children’s im-aginations, as Alice journeys through the rabbit hole, meet-ing an array of interesting and topsy-turvy characters along the way.”

Ms Bourke said the book was perfect for dress-ups.

“The wide range of characters in the story can be interpreted in traditional or modern dress,”

she said.“All our junior-year girls know

the story of Alice and had a great time choosing their favourite characters to be for a day.

“There aren’t many books that are 150 years old that still impact children in the way that this one does.”

Lewis Carroll – aka Charles Lutwidge Dodgson – wrote his first Alice draft in 1862 but added the Cheshire Cat and Mad Hatter’s Tea-Party episodes two years later.

Stephen Brook once got into strife over a book he wrote on the power and politics of the Bordeaux wine industry.

“I didn’t pull my punches,” Mr Brook said.

“It was about the peculiari-ties of the place and it got me into trouble.

“People still come up to me and say what a great book it was.”

Mr Brook, from the UK, was at Claremont Showgrounds this week for Perth Royal Wine Show judging.

He has written 32 books on wine, Britain’s class system, Jews, travel, the Salvation Army, and other topics, but said the Bordeaux book was his favourite.

“It’s important writers remain 100% independent,” he said.

It was his third time in WA. His fi rst trip was an exploration at Margaret River and a big tast-ing at Cullen’s; the second was to the town’s wine show.

“Globally, the wine industry is in pretty good shape,” Mr Brook said.

“There are new emerging markets: China, Brazil, eastern Europe.”

Mr Brook said he got into wine journalism by accident.

“I was writing a lot of book reviews for the New Statesman and they asked me to do some-thing on wine,” he said.

“Eventually I was writing a wine column every week.

“Then I moved to Vogue after I wrote to them and got lucky.”

Mr Brook said the Australian wine show judging system had its critics, but he thought very highly of the process.

Also at the Showgrounds was Cottesloe resident Ainslie Gatt, a member of The Fabulous Ladies’ Wine Society.

The group says members are “... sick of the testosterone-fuelled, high falutin’ and (let’s face it) downright yawn-inducing way in which this most deli-ciously wonderful beverage is communicated”.

“I do like riesling at the mo-ment – it’s fresh and crisp,” Ms Gatt said.

“Years ago it was sweet and horrible.”

Ms Gatt, an art consultant, said she drank a lot at the Show.

With the ladies was Houghton Wines’ Courtney Treacher, a wine judge, who wore an eye mask so she didn’t see the labels

on the bottles.The Perth Royal Wine Show

ran from Monday to Friday, September 4.

Twenty-five other judges joined Mr Brook in tasting 2091 wines from 346 entrants.

Judges’ results were due to be announced on the last day of the Show.

Block ownerobjectsto B&BThe only neighbour to object

to a bed-and-breakfast busi-ness in their street owned a vacant block, Peter Dhu told councillors.

Mr Dhu and his wife Violet are empty nesters and want to rent a spare room and bathroom in their fi ve-bedroom, two-storey home in Tower Street, West Leederville.

But the owner of a block op-posite told planners it would spoil the area.

“As it happens, this street is already too close to Leederville commercial hub,” the landowner said in a letter to the council.

He said a bed-and-breakfast use would have a negative effect on the value of his property and he would want compensation.

“We residents of the street will fi ght the approval of this unfair decision either as a class action or individually, through all legal and social media avenues.”

Mr Dhu told the development committee he had spoken to most of his neighbours.

“They think it is a good idea,” he said.

“We will live upstairs.”Cambridge council agreed

the Dhus could run a bed-and-breakfast business from their home.

Every renovation starts with a trusted builderI love living and working in this community. While choosing to renovate is a big decision, all of my clients are so glad they fi nally made those long-awaited improvements. Call me old fashioned, but I think that being hands-on in every project is the only way to ensure absolute quality, value for money and client satisfaction. I also make sure we leave a clean site at the end of each day – it usually gets me another cup of tea!

Let’s discuss that renovation you’ve been day dreaming about. Chances are, I’m already in the area! Call me on 0450 922 887 or email ralph@exactus.com.au.

Withers in the crosshairsCouncil elections could turn

into a bloodbath in Cambridge.Four candidates will com-

pete for the mayoral chain and whatever happens the vote will be split.

Anger among ratepayers has built up over the past six months because of proposed changes to housing types allowed in the town.

Mayor Simon Withers has been the prime target.

He held off announcing whether he would run again until Thursday, he said to spare his family from what had become increasingly personal attacks.

“During the Amendment 31 debate I was subjected to fi ve months of nasty and personal at-tacks, including banners outside the primary school where I take my children,” he said.

“I delayed announcing be-cause I wanted to minimise the time that my family would be exposed to this kind of abuse.

“In a way, this election is a vote on whether that kind of behaviour is acceptable.”

Five candidates led by lawyer Keri Shannon declared them-selves a ticket for more than half the seats on the council.

Ms Shannon works for a re-sources company and has de-grees in fi nance and accounting.

She lived in West Leederville before moving to City Beach.

Maverick councillor Rod Bradley, who has often been a lone voice on the council, is standing. Three others who have stood in previous elections and been defeated make up the rest of the ticket.

The other two candidates for mayor are City Beach lawyer Gary Mack and councillor Pauline O’Connor.

Mr Mack started canvassing

months ago delivering his own leafl ets and chatting to voters on the streets.

He has been working his way through West Leederville.

He worked for Fremantle council before going back into private practice with a Subiaco fi rm.

Married to high school teacher Leila for 32 years, they have a son and two daughters.

He said he had been ap-proached by an agent for the ratepayers’ group asking him not to run because he would split the vote.

Ms O’Connor (68), who has a seat as a councillor for another two years, said she would not join ratepayers because she had never run on a ticket.

“That is just not me,” she said.“What you see is what you get.

I am a straight shooter.“I have never run with any

group and they never asked me.”A former deputy mayor who

was acting mayor following the resignation of Marlene Anderton, Ms O’Connor was also previously a member of Perth city council when Simon Withers’ late father, Reg, was lord mayor.

Now the rugby union season has wrapped up, Ms O’Connor said she was putting all her time into her campaign to be mayor of Cambridge.

She described herself as rugby mad, a devotion she shares with her husband, Ted, who played in the No.8 shirt.

He is a New Zealander and

Pauline is from Sussex in England. They met when he was playing at Langley Park where she was a spectator.

“I was a 10-pound Pom,” she said.

They celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on St Patrick’s Day, March 17.

They married at Rangiora, New Zealand where Ted’s par-ents lived.

“I had no one here and we thought rather than drag every-one over to Australia we would get married where his family lived,” she said.

“He played rugby the day before even though I told him not to.

“He got smacked in the face and had 17 stitches in his chin on our wedding day and in all the wedding photos.

“I think he might even have had a broken nose.”

Mr Withers is limbering up for his third tilt at the mayoral offi ce.

Four years ago he was ap-pointed unopposed.

Last weekend his whole family completed the 4km walk in the City to Surf.

When he worked in London in the 1990s, Mr Withers completed

the London Marathon.Mr Withers and his wife,

Emma, have two daughters aged nine and seven who have a hectic round of ballet, scout groups, cubs and joeys as well as looking after two dogs and a cat.

Mr Withers said he used to play tennis and hoped to return to it after having back surgery last year.

A former lap swimmer, he has taken the plunge at HBF Stadium to get fi t again in readi-ness for the rebuilt Bold Park pool opening.

Former lawyer to stand in CottA wine-loving father of three

and former lawyer has put his hand up for Cottesloe council.

Mark Rodda (47) has nomi-nated for the South ward and says he wants to be involved in Cottesloe’s improvement.

“That’s my number-one rea-son,” the Forrest Street resident and business consultant said.

One Cottesloe issue Mr Rodda

watched was the contentious 3m-wide dual-use path laid on his verge last year.

“That certainly could have been handled a lot better,” Mr Rodda said.

“It could have been done to a better standard. Various crossovers had to be repaired.

“As with anything, consulta-tion is key.

“Various people said they didn’t receive a fl yer about the

project. I have no recollection of whether we received a fl yer.”

Mr Rodda said he had never been a member of a political party and his decision to stand was his own.

“It’s a decision I made entirely by myself,” he said.

“I don’t believe local gov-ernment is a place for party politics.”

Mr Rodda is no stranger to

Reconciliation Inspired by Young People

Page 32 – POST, September 5, 2015

Some Shenton College stu-dents have added judo to the list of things they study at school – and their learning curve is going to be part of an academic study.

Last month, with the support of the UWA Judo Club, the school started its own judo academy and nearly 40 students signed up for weekly lessons.

Shenton College principal Michael Morgan said it was the fi rst high school-based judo club in WA.

“This initiative will allow Shenton College students to

enjoy the international Olympic sport of judo through high school and continue into university, while benefi ting from the physi-cal and moral teaching of judo and the incredible opportunities for international exchange,” he said.

“We hope to develop a com-petitive edge and foster in-ternational student exchange with Shenton College’s estab-lished international network of schools.”

The club was of great interest to judo master and academic Akitoshi Sogabe, visiting from

Konan University in Kobe, Japan.

Dr Sogabe, a 6th dan, was at Edith Cowan University two years ago to research knee in-juries in judo, and during this time he coached and trained at UWA’s Judo Club.

He was back in Perth last week as part of another international research project for the All Japan Judo Federation.

Dr Sogabe was in WA as part of a survey of four countries – Australia, Japan, France and Germany – to look at judo in the education system.

How men’s sheds can help with dementia

Being an active member of a men’s shed can help with dementia, according to a senior dementia consultant.

Michelle Harris , from the Bethanie Care Group, dropped into the Mosman Park Community Men’s Shed recently to give a talk to members on Living Well with Dementia.

She was so impressed with the shed that she declared it dementia friendly, and said it was a model of what society needed.

Ms Harris said that every four seconds, one person was diagnosed with some form of dementia across the globe.

“The rise is so significant that I don’t believe there will be enough care homes in 2050 in Australia to cope with the dramatic rise in dementia,” she said.

She explained that part of the problem was that funding was based on disability rather than ability.

“We need to support people’s abilities rather than focusing

on pills and potions,” she said.“The men’s shed is therapy.“It is brilliant, and we need

more of them around the world.”Ms Harris said she had been

particularly impressed by the signs, photos and accessibility of the Mosman Park shed.

“Every person with dementia has a different experience, so our approach to communica-tion must be person centred,” she said.

“We need to build a dementia-friendly community with ser-vices that support a person to maintain their autonomy.”

She said dementia caused a shift in the way someone expe-rienced the world.

“As a society, we must become more dementia aware and friendly by changing our minds about people whose minds have changed,” she said.

With the support of the WA Men’s Shed Association, Bethanie has recently opened four sheds in its lifestyle villages in Busselton, Capel, Rockingham and Yanchep.

Mosman tighter on grantsAs part of its budget tighten-

ing, Mosman Park council has changed its community chest program.

Since it began in July 2013, 13 grants of between $1000 and $3000 have been given to community groups for community projects.

A staff report to Tuesday night’s council meeting suggested chang-ing the program to allow local groups to buy small equipment, such as printers, that allow them to function better; cover the cost of promotional materials such as brochures or signs which encour-

age membership; or cover the cost of training or courses to allow volunteers to develop skills.

At the corporate and technical services committee meeting on August 11, North ward council-lor Zenda Johnson welcomed the proposed changes, saying the cur-rent system probably cost more to administer than it gave out.

The council will now have one round of grants a year, with this year’s applications due on November 6.

It will review the program next February.

Industry finalists namedSix western suburb organi-

sations are among this year’s fi nalists in the WA Industry and Export Awards.

Commerce Minister Michael Mischin named the 16 fi nalists on Wednesday.

The western suburb six are: the Engineering Institute of Technology, West Perth, for the education train-ing award; CSA Global, of West Perth, the minerals and energy award; Proteomics International, of Nedlands, the health and biotech-

nology award; Scitech Discovery Centre, West Perth, the educa-tion and training award; Austral Fisheries, West Leederville, agri-business award; and Linear Clinical Research, of Nedlands, the business services award.

They will be presented with their certifi cates on September 16 and the winners will be announced on October 16.

The winners will become fi nal-ists in the National Australian Export Awards.

Transgender sperm storageA Nedlands reproductive clinic

is providing sperm storage for transgender people undergoing the change from male to female.

The Keogh Institute for Medical Research at the QEII Medical Centre said the stored sperm could later be used for IUI or IVF procedures in the female partners of transsexual women.

The institute said hormonal and surgical treatments were known to decrease fertility.

In male to female transition, the number of viable sperm reduces gradually. Within a few years of treatment there will be no detect-able sperm and ultimately this will become irreversible.

Ideally, sperm storage should be done before hormonal therapy starts.

The institute is the only sperm storage centre in WA not at-tached to an IVF clinic, allowing transgender people to feel more comfortable.

Audi, Land Rover stolen

An Audi and a Land Rover were stolen from homes in City Beach and Claremont this week.

The red Audi A3 was taken from a Marapana Road home in City Beach between 7.25 and 7.55am on Wednesday.

The car was in the ga-rage, and the roller door was open.

The day before, the ma-roon Land Rover was sto-len from a Stirling Highway home in Claremont.

Thieves got in thanks to an unlocked front door between 7.15 and 7.45am and grabbed the keys to the 2000 car.

Neither car has been found and police believe the crimes could be linked.

Two smartly-dressed men in their 20s may be able to help with que-ries about an assault in Claremont last month, police say.

At about 12.45am on Monday, August 10, two men were in a physical confrontation in Stirling Highway.

D e t e c t i v e S e n i o r Constable Terry Gilmore said a third man had approached the men in an attempt to calm the situation, but he had been forcefully pushed against a wall, knocking him out.

The injured man was taken to hospital and later released.

The fi rst man had light skin and dark short hair, was about 1.8m tall and of medium build.

He was wearing a black leather jacket, white button-up collared shirt, brownish grey skinny pants, and brownish grey shoes.

The second man had a tan, a slim build and short dark or black hair, and was about 1.82m tall.

He had on a blue suit-type jacket, blue collared button-up shirt, and tan pants and shoes.

Information can be given to Crime Stoppers quoting reference number 7817.

Men sought for assault info

Police wonder if these two men can assist with queries about a Claremont crime.

Burglars walk in

Some Cottesloe resi-dents were home when they were burgled last weekend.

The burglars got into the Avonmore Terrace home through an unlocked back door between 11pm on Saturday night and 8am on Sunday.

They took a wallet, cash and jewellery.

A bank card in the wallet was used to commit frauds.

Footy writer burgled

POST columnist Austin Robertson’s address book was stolen from his car on Wednesday night.

Austin is appealing for the book to be returned.

“It was taken from the car either at the Glendalough shopping centre or Pollard Street, Glendalough,” Austin said.

The thieves also stole a bottle of Wolf Blass Grey Label wine from the car, a Hyundai i45.

Also taken were articles and proofs of Austin’s sto-ries for the POST.

“The address book is the killer,” Austin said.

“If that could be re-turned, or if someone fi nds it, that would be great.”

A former Telstra worker is due in court next week after alleg-edly stealing Telstra property valued at more than $250,000.

Major fraud squad offi c-ers charged the 38-year-old Applecross man with 40 counts of stealing as a servant.

He has been sacked from his job, which included managing client accounts.

A Telstra spokesman

said no company custom-ers had been affected by the alleged crimes.

Police said that between January and October last year, the man had ordered phones and iPads under different customer ac-counts and forwarded the items to himself.

They said he had sold the items online and kept the proceeds.

The man is due to ap-pear in Perth Magistrates’ Court next week.

40 charges for ex-Telstra man

A cumquat thief struck in Onslow Road, Shenton Park on Wednesday night.

On Wednesday morn-ing, John Woodhouse was admiring his cumquat-laden tree which stood outside his Orangery Gallery in Onslow Road.

During night, someone else was apparently equally impressed with the fruiting tree – and stole it.

Leaving tyre marks in the grass, the fruit-loving thief appeared to have tried to lift the entire pot, realised it was too heavy and pushed it over to pull the tree out.

The thief left the second less impressive cumquat tree to stand alone.

Now there is only one cumquat.

Methadone tip-off

A Mosman Park man had methadone in his home last Friday, police allege.

Offi cers from Cottesloe police station searched in the morning at the 45-year-old’s Stirling Highway home.

The man was charged with possessing a prohib-ited drug and unlawful possession of property.

Station off icer- in-charge Neil Morton-Smith said the search had hap-pened in part thanks to a tip-off.

“Information from the community can be very helpful and we are grate-ful when residents report suspicious activity or people,” Senior Sergeant Morton-Smith said.

Police said a 20-year-old Churchlands man was speeding on the Freeway two weeks ago.

They said the man had been driving a Subaru Forester at 152kmh when he was pinged in

Joondalup at 10.15pm on Friday, August 21.

The Mitchell Freeway has a 100kmh limit.

Last Wednesday, police impounded the Subaru and charged the 20-year-old with reckless driving.

52kmh over the Freeway limit

Cumquat tree stolen

Police seized ice, hero-in, cannabis, and $10,000 cash during a raid on a Mt Hawthorn home on Tuesday morning.

Wembley police joined detectives from Perth and Midland to search the Fairfi eld Street home.

Acting Senior Sergeant Dave Stevenson said tips to Crime Stoppers from the public were instrumental in getting the warrant.

“A Mt Hawthorn man (39) has been charged with a range of offences,

including 73 counts of offer to sell or supply a prohibited drug,” Sergeant Stevenson said.

“A 49-year-old Mt Hawthorn woman has also been charged with 30 counts of offer to sell or supply a prohibited drug.”

Both people had their bail refused when they appeared in the Perth Magistrates’ Court.

Vincent council workers declared the home unsafe for human habitation.

Re “Sharks don’t eat women” (POST, August 22).

During the 1980s and 90s, I was living in South Australia.

In 1985, a woman was killed while abalone diving and snor-kelling not far from the shore in the Port Lincoln Peninsula area, not far from where tuna fi shing boats were moored.

Her husband and children were watching from the shore

when a huge white pointer came out of nowhere, took hold of her and pushed her out of the water.

No remains were ever found.It was a terrible event for

her family to have witnessed.

J. WardKarrinyup Road, Stirling

Great white took woman in 1985

Andrew Mill’s defensive arguments (“Wembley mat-ters”, Letters, POST, August 22) over being handpicked by Keri Shannon’s Save Our City Beach Our Floreat group to run for Cambridge’s Wembley ward give the impression he is a Wembley boy with an address in Cambridge Street, Wembley, in my view.

In fact, he lives in Hovea Crescent, City Beach, which is the address he gave when he asked questions about Amendment 31 at the Cambridge council meeting on April 28.

At the same meeting – I was present – he said: “I’ve got a shop in Wembley and I think it’s

a great idea they build an eight-storey building right nearby with residential housing. No one bought in there thinking it would be low density forever, did they?”

But two apartments in a two-storey building the size of a City Beach house were unacceptable.

I can see he’d like eight sto-reys in Wembley, where he has a business.

If you are seeking election, giving your home address when you write to the POST would be a good place to start.

Simper Street, Wembley

Candidate’s not from Wembley

I am utterly disgusted read-ing some of the vile letters and comments that have been presented over the past few weeks regarding Cambridge mayor Simon Withers and councillors.

I have been watching and listening to the unruly and rude attacks on the above by a small group of uncouth people who must surely have some unstated agenda, unrelated to their objection to the zoning

amendment proposed by the council.

No doubt we all have an opinion, but don’t express this in such a manner.

Hopefully Mr Withers and the council will stand up to this bunch of rabblerousers, and get on with the excellent way Cambridge has been run over the past few years.

Are possums missing old home comforts?

Last night, out on the terrace, for the fi rst time ever I watched a possum eating the berries off the cape lilac on the verge. 

I have been thinking for quite some time to start an anti-cape lilac movement.

They are an intrusive weed and a home for those nasty white moths whose caterpillars invade anything that isn’t hermetically sealed.

Get rid of them.But now even the possums are

feeding on them.The twenty-eights have been

doing so, and for the past two or three years the black cockatoos have been at it too.

Is this because the natural food source for the birds has been phased out of the city environs, and the possums are running out of old rotting roofs to feel comfy in?

These guys need to be fed, but an alternative to the cape lilac needs to be introduced.

Why Coast ward ratepayers are taking Cambridge council to court• Letter from Robert Walker Coast Ward Ratepayers Association

On August 25, Cambridge Coast Ward Ratepayers’ Association applied to the Supreme Court for a judicial review of Cambridge council’s decisions to initiate and adopt scheme Amendment 31.

Amendment 31 may result in 45% of City Beach residential lots and 33% in Floreat being strata-titled for multiple and grouped dwellings.

In some streets, the amend-

ment affects 80% to 95% of lots.In addition, grouped dwellings

on corner lots are to be granted concessions with reduced setbacks, effectively destroying the uniform setbacks for which these suburbs are renowned and admired.

In Floreat, heights for multiple dwellings will be greater than are now permissible.

Over 82% of respondents to the statutory advertising period opposed Amendment 31, but the council ignored its own planners and experts’ advice and adopted

it with only minor modifi cations and without further advertising or consultation.

The amendment was adopted by mayor Simon Withers and councillors Corinne MacRae, Colin Walker and Tracey King.

Professional advice we have received says the adopted amendment is still fundamen-tally fl awed, will not achieve the stated aims of creating housing diversity, and will severely affect the character of these suburbs as we know and love them.

We are opposed to Amendment31 as adopted because:• It does not represent a good plan-ning outcome for these suburbs;• It delivers density without diversity;• There have been failures in legal and statutory process that, if followed, might have led to a better planning outcome;

• There is a better way afford-able housing and diversity can be obtained with minimal impact or confl ict on homes in traditional suburban streets.

Save our City Beach, Our Floreat and the association have obtained, at their own expense, professional town planning, ar-chitectural, real estate and legal advice and acted on it.

An alternative planning pro-posal that seeks to introduce more affordable and diverse housing has also been commis-sioned.

But despite requests, the coun-cil chose not to engage with us,

Avoid them, don’t fell them

Why do mature trees have to be cut down at such an alarm-ing rate in our suburbs?

As I drove past Karakatta station last week, I thought they were pruning, but no!

By the afternoon, at least six trees had been cut to the ground to make way for a bike track.

If we can ride a bike, surely we can steer around a tree?

Too many trees get the chop in our suburbs, says Claremont reader Ash-

lea Wilken.

I wish I could save the old trees next door

Having read the council’s policy on trees in Claremont, I was hoping the large stone pine trees (Pinus pinea) in my neighbour’s backyard would be protected.

However, after speaking to Andrew in the council’s park department over the weekend, I learnt the homeowner can chop down any tree on his private property, though the council tries to preserve trees.

These are a cluster of mag-nificent stone pines, about 30m high and a haven for birds and wildlife, in particular the already threatened carnaby’s cockatoo.

I believe my new neighbour is planning to take some of these trees out.

Already some signifi cant pep-permint trees have gone.

So that’s why Barnett wanted small councils goneAt a recent Cottesloe council

meeting, I asked two questions specifi c to Marine Parade.

When would the “no standing” and speed limit stencilled signs be repainted?

The response was that the fi rst would be repainted in due course and that Main Roads was responsible for the second.

Apparently, Main Roads in-stalled speed limit stencilled signs as a trial and has decided to abandon them, because they have had no effect.

The council then said speed limit compliance was strong in Marine Parade, so I guess it concurs that signs are not really necessary because everyone pretty much does the right thing, mostly!

My second question was about safely crossing Marine Parade at or near the Wearne Hostel and Lady Lawley Cottage, which cater to aged residents and chil-dren with disabilities.

The council response was that the area did not meet the minimum volume of traffic and pedestrian use to justify installing safe havens like zebra crossings.

In fact, the council said safe havens or crossings actually increased pedestrian accidents,

based on its experience.So now I fi nd out speed limits

painted on the road and zebra crossings are actually not only a waste of time but also hazard-ous to pedestrians, based on the council’s experience!

I just hope that if any council-lors are fortunate enough to be cared for at the Wearne Hostel, they remember their comments as they are getting wheeled across Marine Parade and a car is approaching them at or above the speed limit.

I hope they say to themselves as they try to huddle within the confi nes of the traffi c median: “Thank God I didn’t support a crossing or my well-being might have been in danger.”

I am starting to see why Premier Colin Barnett wanted to do away with councils that wasted money and time and did nothing.

He has to look no further than Cottesloe council, in his own electorate.

Don’t toe Liberal party line on bombing, Julie Bishop

I was astonished to hear Foreign Minister and Curtin MP Julie Bishop call for Europe to join the bombing of Syria as a way to stem the fl ow of refugees.

The refugees, predominantly from Syria, are fl eeing the bomb-ing by the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Syrian government and now, apparently, Australia.

The bombing of ISIS positions, mainly by the US, over the past year or more has made no differ-ence to the strength and fi ghting capacity of ISIS on the ground.

The bombing campaigns kill more civilians and destroy more civilian infrastructure than ISIS strongholds – in fact, the bomb-ing seems to be hit and miss, with the emphasis on miss.

Plainly and simply: more bombing leads to more refugees, but Ms Bishop knows that.

Does Australia take in extra refugees from the dipterous wars it waged in Afghanistan and Iraq?

Of course not!We seem to expect them all

to go to Europe, already over-crowded.

Australia buries its head in the ground when it comes to refugees escaping wars, death, bombings and destruction.

We lock them up, hide them away, throw away the key, re-fuse them entry to Australia or anywhere where they will be afforded the dignity befi tting a human being.

Come on, Ms Bishop: you are an educated, intelligent woman.

Don’t make ignorant state-ments that toe the party line rather than telling the truth.

Give Australians the benefi t of being able to assess your comments – and those of your government – for what they are worth.

Walk in their shoes.

I’m wheelchair bound and looking forward to Uber I am disabled and require

round-the-clock care.I use an electric wheelchair

for mobility and rely heavily on maxi-taxis for transport.

Last Friday, I was forced to make yet another formal com-plaint about a taxi driver who showed up to the job extremely late with his pants undone and underwear visible.

He clearly had a hunger for fast food, because he insisted that my friends operate the wheelchair hoist and strap my wheelchair into the van them-selves while he ordered food and left the meter running.

When he returned to the

vehicle after a considerable delay, he proceeded to drive as though he was competing in the Grand Prix.

In the end, because one of my friends was in a rush to get to work and the driver had no idea how to get there, or how long it would take, we dropped my friend at his house, which was nearby, and he called an Uber.

During the rest of the taxi ride, my other friends and I feared for our lives.

I assume the driver’s appall-ing conduct was all because we were travelling a short distance, meaning that almost the whole fare paid was consumed by

overheads and fees imposed by the parent company and government.

That said, there are many good taxi drivers out there, some of whom are my regular drivers who I book privately, as do most wheelchair users, bypassing dispatchers.

I want UberAssist to enter the market for the drivers’ benefi t.

I am sure you would never want to work 16 hours a day, assisting people living with dis-abilities with their transport, for approximately $10 to $12 an hour, would you?

When Cyndi ShannonWeickert’s twin brother wasdiagnosed with schizophreniawhen he was 17, it was the fi rsttime she had heard the word.

She grew up in the US along-side him, shared teachers andfriends, played baseball andwent on holidays.

She said they had both beenintelligent children, but oncethe teenage years hit, somethingchanged.

“I remember that while Iwas socialising and partying,my brother was starting towithdraw,” Professor ShannonWeickert said.

“We were both very academicover-achievers and competed

for the top grades in school, butthen I noticed his grades wereslipping.

“He got worse. He withdrewmore into his room.

“He would listen to Beatlesrecords and play them back-wards and think they had specialmessages for him.”

When a psychiatrist diag-nosed schizophrenia, ProfessorShannon Weickert decided: “Igotta learn this biology stuff,because I gotta find out what’swrong with his brain.

“I knew I wanted to help mybrother, because the medicinesthat were available to him at thetime were terrible.”

Now a world-leading neurolo-gist, Professor Shannon Weickertmoved to Australia from the US

eight years ago when she was in-vited to lead a top schizophreniaprogram in Sydney.

Last week, she gave a pub-lic lecture at Christ Church Grammar School, in Claremont,about her latest research andher personal experience withschizophrenia.

“My aim is to discover bio-logical subsets of schizophre-nia so that we can target noveltherapeutics by re-purposingavailable drugs that are alreadyknown to be safe for other dis-eases,” she said.

“My aim is to apply what weknow, or what we have learntso far, and just test if it’s goingto be of benefi t.”

She said a range of peopleattended her lectures, from

those personally affected by schizophrenia to those whowere simply interested in thehuman brain.

“There is a lot of intrigue inthe human brain,” she said.

“If you think about it, it may beone of the most complex organson the planet.”

Professor Shannon Weickert’slecture was organised by mentalhealth awareness group Meetingfor Minds.

Details about the group’sevents can be found at meet-ingforminds.com.

Brother’s illness a catalyst for studyBy RHIANNON SHINE

Expert says Wedge’sOK not DAP’s to give

A development assessmentpanel (DAP) was not theright authority to have ap-proved the four-storey offi ceblock next to King EdwardMemorial Hospital for Women,in Subiaco.

This was what Shenton Parkplanning expert Neil Foley tolda recent hearing of the parlia-mentary inquiry into DAPs.

Mr Foley said that because ofthe zoning of the site, on the cor-ner of Bagot and Railway roads,it had been inappropriate for aDAP to OK the $18.5million offi cebuilding, dubbed the Wedge.

Mr Foley said the land hadbeen reserved as use for publicpurpose – hospital – in the 1963Metropolitan Region Scheme.

The WA Planning Commissionhas 100% development controlover reserved land, but thathad not been the case in thisinstance.

“For the DAPs to be makingdecisions on reserved land isinappropriate,” he said.

Mr Foley is also a professor ofurban and regional planning atUWA and has been chairman oftwo DAPs.

“It should have gone througha scheme amendment first,” hesaid.

“Local people missed out on

the opportunity to comment onwhat sort of uses should go onthat land, because the councilopposed that, but it was stillapproved.”

In 2011, West Perth developersBlackburne applied to the newlyestablished DAP for approval toknock over five one-storey homesand a shop on the site and builda four-storey building with morethan 5000sq.m of office space andtwo levels of parking.

It was the fi rst commercialoffice building for Blackburne,which develops apartmentcomplexs.

“Start small” is theadvice from Carolyn Groves, who recently

won Nedlands council’s sustainability competition.

Carolyn’s sustainable lifestyle, which includes growing more than 70 fruit, vegetable and herb varieties on her home’s quarter-acre block, was 20 years in the making.

She said her home, which was built in 1931, used to run power, gas and water bills into the thousands of dollars.

That was until she installed solar electricity and a solar hot water system.

“We save between $300 and $400 a power cycle,” Carolyn said.

“Our gas bill used to be around $300 when we had gas hot water – now we pay about $30.

“In summer, the gas bill gets

down to as little as $17.”Carolyn renovated her home

in 2000, installing insulation, double eaves, skylights, breeze-oriented windows and ceiling fans.

She also changed to LED lights, and put in garden beds and a chicken pen.

“We have three compost bins used in rotation,” Carolyn said.

“Chook poo, newspaper, green waste that the chooks don’t like and chips from the mulcher get mixed to produce soil for the vegetables.”

She said frogs, birds, possums, bees and other wildlife frequented her garden.

Her front yard is currently being changed over to include more vegetables, fruits and herbs.

“More organically grown food is produced and we are more self-sufficient,” she said.

“When we have more food than can be used, we either store the produce by drying or

freezing it or give it away.“My neighbours often get

a few eggs or a bunch of sunflowers.

“When we really have too much, I hang the produce on the fence with a little sign inviting passers-by to take it.

“I also have an electric bike with baskets for shopping and we use Transperth cards to access public transport.”

Carolyn said while the decision to change to sustainable living could be daunting, the key was to start slowly.

“Join a permaculture group,” she said.

“It becomes a way of life to accept that we have to have a lesser impact on the planet that we live on.

“My aim is not only to improve my family’s way of life but also to show others walking by that you can have your beautiful Nedlands home and be environmentally friendly too.”

The quest to fi nd the perfect cushion led Cottesloe textile artist Sally Philip to the

obvious answer: make it herself.“I kept buying more and

more cushions, trying to fi nd the perfect cushion,” Sally said.

“It got so bad that I had to actually sell some on Gumtree just to make room for the new ones.”

Laughingly dubbing herself “the Imelda of cushions”, Sally said she had always been creative, and her cushion quest had led her to begin a design process that recently culminated in her range of hand-stencilled linen cushions.

“I had an idea of what I wanted and what I would like,” she said.

“There are so many mass-produced printed cushions, and they all start to look the same.

“I thought it was time I just created what I loved.”

Weary of the sheen and gaudiness of synthetic fabric cushions pumped out by the thousands in factories, Sally

opted for the tactile and earthy pleasure of plain linen, adorned only with her monochrome stencilled designs.

“I love the raw, clean feel of linen,” she said.

“I found some really good-quality softened linen in America. Then I just came up with all the sorts of simple clean

designs that I would like to see in my home.”

She says her designs have a coastal infl uence, born of her love of living near the sea.

With a similarly coastal colour palette – soft yellows, neutrals, shades of blue, sea greens and soft pinks – and stencil designs ranging from a whimsical moose

to a rhapsodic oak tree – Sally’s cushions combine simplicity with subtlety.

“I have always loved painting,” she said, “and I enjoy the process of hand painting each picture, keeping the end quality really high.

“I’m a bit of a perfectionist, and I’m very particular.”

For Sally, a busy mother of three girls who works part-time, the decision to follow her creative impetus through to completion has been a joy.

“I’m never happier than when I’m creating,” she said.

“I’ve always wanted to do something creative; I actually wanted to be an interior designer when I was younger, but I followed the sensible path rather than the creative path and became a nurse and then trained as a sonographer.

“I feel like I’m at the stage of my life where I just want to give it a go.”

With a mother who was a very creative and gifted quilter, and three daughters who love to contribute to Sally’s design decisions, there is a strong sense

of feminine continuity in Sally’s endeavour.

She plans to develop a bigger range of cushions, including some for outdoors, and table linen.

“I can never fi nd table runners that are long enough for the tables these days,” she said. “They all look short and stumpy.”

Drawing on another creative avenue of hers, fl oristry, Sally has an innovative idea to make a decorative runner that could provide a two-dimensional artwork for the table.

“I want to be able to lay something on the table and make it look beautiful with hand painted images, so that you can have a dinner party with it rather than having all the fl owers and candles, which take up all the space,” she said.

Sally’s designs can be customised, and her range includes fun colours and stencils that would be suitable for children’s rooms.

She hopes to have her cushions stocked in some small boutique shops, but for now is selling them online through Facebook at Sally Philip Designs.

Do-it-yourself projects often begin with the best intentions.

The prospect of creating something yourself is initially met with enthusiasm and grand expectations, but sometimes, even the best intentions can fall by the wayside when a project starts to get too hard, takes too long or if the results don’t quite look as they should.

With this in mind, several Perth businesses are running workshops that give people a chance to

complete DIY projects or learn skills without the long-time investment.

Interiors retailer Corner Store started its Crafting at the Co-op earlier this year, run at its Fremantle premises.

The Corner Store’s self-confessed

“craft overlord” Lynn Jones said workshops at the Co-op had been a surprising success.

“People are wanting to slow down and get back to basics,” she said.

“They want to put down the iPad,

Stop scrolling, start purlingCATHERINE MAZZA stop scrolling and start purling.”

So far there have been workshops in fl oristry, knitting and crochet, but given their popularity, Lynn and her team will be expanding the workshop schedule to include classes in homewares and DIY Christmas decorations.

The classes are typically held on weekend afternoons and the costs include all materials.

If that isn’t enough to tempt you, they provide morning or afternoon tea to ensure there is no DIY fatigue.

“Our workshops are a fantastic antidote to the fast-paced digital generation,” Lynn said.

Aube Nouvelle means “new dawn” – and for retail stylist and

textile artist Gloria Ford, that is just what her little Claremont shop has been.

The small Leura Avenue store, crammed with beautiful, tactile homewares, was a whole new beginning for Gloria when, last year, she decided to use her talents in interior design, styling, textiles and handcrafting and bring them all together under one roof.

“It’s really about community and giving back,” she said of her warm, friendly shop with its eclectic range of linens, tableware, homewares, artworks, jewellery and children’s clothing.

“Everything I love is in this shop,” she said. “It is a place to fossick in. It has evolved over the year as I’ve got to know my clientele, but really I bring together things I love, and that have a story.”

The homewares, furniture and artwork are largely locally-made because Gloria wants to support local businesses and artists.

Other goods that come from interstate or overseas have been chosen because of their own back stories. Voyage Maison, for example, is a Scottish family-run company that produces cushions with handpainted watercolour scenes on linen matched with local tweeds and velvets.

A new furniture range, Xavier, comes from

Brisbane. Aube Nouvelle will be

the sole WA stockist for a range of high-quality furniture that Gloria said was perfectly designed for WA’s climate and style.

Gloria has also started a consultation service with interior designer Yvonne Mettham.

She said that in their collaborative approach to interior design, they worked closely with clients on designs suited to them and their lifestyles, not necessarily what was the latest fashion.

Gloria also runs knitting, crochet and beading classes, crafts that have become very popular again, especially among young people

“It’s also another way of bringing the community together,” she said.

“Grandmothers used to teach this sort of thing. I learnt knitting and crocheting from my great-grandmother.”

Little shop of love

Perth chef Peter Manifi s has strong ideas about what chil-dren should be eating.

Last week, Peter spent time showing food coordinators from several childcare centres some delicious dishes using produce like local kangaroo and mack-erel.

“There are plenty of meat cuts and fi sh that are fresh and affordable,” Peter said, at the cook-up at Unicare in Nedlands.

“Kangaroo has great proper-ties. It is lean, cheap and deli-cious.

“Daycare centres often serve tinned salmon from overseas when we have local mackerel that can be served fresh and is cheap.

“I serve mackerel in my res-taurant, Incontro, and I think children can be taught to eat everything.”

Peter said the willingness of the childcare centre to embrace opportunities to improve chil-dren’s health was commendable.

“It is a privilege to cook for children,” he said.

Last year, more than a million Australian children spent time in childcare, which amounts to a lot of meals.

At Unicare, Virginia King and Hua Zhar, who took part in Peter’s workshop, prepare 124 meals a day and put a lot of thought into making the food healthy and balanced.

“We have chicken once a week and soup once a week,” Virginia said. “We also have vegetarian meals, fi sh and mince.”

The workshop was organ-ised by Australasian Health Development Network nutrition-ists Ros Sambell and Amanda Devine, who provide nutrition training in the community.

The network has developed an online menu planning tool that saves childcare centres time and money.

And parents are interested too.Karen Palmer from Unicare

said the centre had hosted a session for nearly 40 staff who then applied their knowledge.

“This training has also resulted in our families wanting to have a training session themselves,” she said.

‘Selling my home was a stressful time for me until Bev came on the scene. Not only was she available to answer my queries, she acted in my best interest at all times. With her honesty, professionalism and her knowledge of the area she gave me confidence in selling. I highly recommend Bev Heymans and her fantastic team to anyone selling a house - you won't be disappointed’ Cottesloe Seller - Sold May 2015

‘I have bought and sold many homes over the years, so feel I've had experience in what does and doesn't work when choosing my real estate agent. Out of all the agents I've selected, Bev Heymans remains at the top of my list for selling success, professionalism, honesty, integrity, dollar value of my home vs outcome, dedication, perseverance and attention to detail. This is why I've chosen her time and time again, and recommended her to my family and friends. It is always a pleasure dealing with Bev and I trust that she will get results. She also has a great support team and nothing is ever too much. I highly recommend Bev and all the expertise that she offers.’ North Fremantle Seller - Sold July 2015

‘This was a difficult journey for us, made bearable by an outstanding agent. From day one, nothing was ever too much trouble for Bev to organise or undertake. It seemed most of the time that we were her only customers, such was her commitment, efficiency, availability and dedication.’’ Cottesloe Seller - Sold July 2015

Perth Mod lights up

It was an enlightening Science Week for students at Perth Modern School as they learnt about the science of light.

The school organised a plethora of fun science activities, talks by experts and a science fair.

In a collaboration between arts and science, students created holograms of objects they had artfully designed.

Talks by a series of experts in the different fi elds started with breakfast talks on particle and theoretical physics and physics in marine science and technology.

Other lectures centred on forensic chemistry, astronomy, including the Square Kilometre Array, optics and biomedical engineering and epigenetics.

During the Science Fair, students presented scientifi c research on a range of topics and were in the running to win prizes.

Students were able to take part in a panel discussion, “speed dating with the scientists”, involving scientists in the fi elds of mechanical engineering, molecular biology and geology.

Finally, students were dazzled by a mind blowing experimental light display that show-cased the scientifi c principles of light.

Midaiah Harnett (13) said Science Week was an incredible opportunity to understand more about the world around through science.

“Perth Mod students are very curious and science provides a lot of answers so it was awesome to spend a whole week focusing on science and how it will help revolutionise the 21st century,” Midaiah said.

Perth Modern School was awarded a National Science Week school grant that contributed towards Science Week activities.

Science goes out of the classroomRockets launched and

spaghetti towers tumbled as science experiments were brought to life at Jolimont Primary School.

Students, parents and teachers gathered to see presentations by UWA Professor Stephen Powles, who is also the director of the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Academy

of Technological Science and Engineering.

Jolimont principal Barbara Iffl a said Professor Powles’ enthusiasm was a wonderful catalyst to in-spire students’ enquiring minds.

“Jolimont has pri-oritised science in 2015, establishing our science specialist program and emphasising the use of our science laboratory for our students,” she said.

“Professor Powles’ pres-entation was an entertain-ing way to take science beyond the classroom and let our junior scientists at Jolimont hear from a lead-ing Australian scientist.”

Over the day, Jolimont staff coordinated students as they took part in ex-periments such as balloon rockets, circuit chasers, spaghetti towers, balanc-ing acrobats and quacking ducks.

Last week, Hollywood Primary School students enjoyed lots of science fun brought to the school by Richard Rennie from the Light and Sound Discovery Centre.

One contraption that intrigued the Year 1s was the invisible box, which is a mirror-lined box with a glass front.

When the students poked a fi nger inside, it disappeared.

The children also made spectroscopes to analyse light sources and did some chroma-tography to discover that black is made of a mixture of colours.

Isaac Hiew and Joshua Griffi n reach out for a light bulb they can see but which isn’t really there. What they are

actually seeing is a refl ection from a concave mirror.

The Wildfl ower Society’s emblem, blue leschenaultia, and its relatives in the goodeniaceae family will be the focus when the Perth branch of the Wildfl ower Society meets on Tuesday, September 8.

Society member Jim Barrow, who is also the author of How to Enjoy WA Wildfl owers, will talk about this varied, colourful and almost entirely Australian group of plants.

Many people like this group because lots of its species have brilliant blue fl owers.

But there are also many that are red, yellow or white, such as red leschenaultia, the wreath leschenaultia and the cancer bush (Scaevola spinescens).

Members of the family are also very widely grown and have been developed as pot plants or living po-sies in Europe and North America.

Meetings of the society’s Perth branch are held on the second Tuesday of each month in the Subiaco Community Centre, across the road from Crossways shopping centre in Bagot Road.

The doors open at 7.30pm and the meeting begins at 8pm. You do not need to be

a member of the society to attend, entry requiring a $2 door charge

One grandfather’s life of giving

As Father’s Day approaches, Alan Earnshaw’s children are the fi rst to admit they think their dad is the best in the world.

And hundreds of West Australians would agree – because for them, he’s a lifesaver.

That’s because Mr Earnshaw (88) has a very rare kind of blood plasma that includes an antibody that stops babies dying from rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia.

He has given blood every few months since he was in his early 20s and has racked up hundreds of do-nations in more than four decades, enabling countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies.

“Donating blood to help babies gave me a wonderful feeling, and it was a magnifi cent experience to often have the opportunity to nurse the baby I’d donated blood to,” said Mr Earnshaw, who now lives at Mercy Health Mont Clare.

“Normally I’d donate two pints of blood every seven to eight weeks at the WA Blood Bank, but sometimes I’d be asked to donate two pints in a six-week period and I’d always be

happy to oblige.“The most memorable time was

when my wife and I were about to go out for a family dinner and I received a call from King Edward Hospital asking if I could donate straight away and, of course, there was no way I was going to refuse. So we went straight to the hospital instead of the restaurant.

“When I look back now I do feel proud of being able to help all those babies over more than 40 years of my lifetime. It makes me very emo-tional actually.”

Mr Earnshaw is now a resident at Mercy Health Mont Clare, where service manager Jenny Jones said Father’s Day presented the ideal opportunity to recognise the unsung heroes of the community – fathers like Mr Earnshaw.

She said Alan would spend time with family on Father’s Day – includ-ing his son and daughter as well as his grandchildren.

“They are understandably very proud of him and his contribution to the lives of other WA families over the decades,” she said.

An honorary father to many, Alan Earnshaw will spend Father’s Day with his family, including son Gavin and grandson Louis.

Small fish are the sweetestIn-between seasons can

be unpredictable and a bit frustrating for anglers so it may be a case of setting your sights on smaller species.

But don’t get me wrong, the smallest fi sh are usually the sweetest.

Bread-and-butter fi shing is how more than 90% of recreational anglers cut their teeth, and it is just like rid-ing a bike, you never forget how to do it.

You can rely on getting a feed of fresh fi sh if you just go back to basics and there are always places to fi sh no matter what the weather.

The Fremantle Moles are always good platforms for fi shing for herring and skippy and there are still a few good

tailor around at the moment as well.

Good numbers of skippy and silver bream can be caught in the inner harbour at E shed and Stirling Bridge. And it will not be long before the mulloway start their river run.

From October, the deeper waters of Mosman and Blackwall Reach should be alive with good numbers of mulloway because there have already been pretty good reports of substantial fish being caught.

You do not really need a boat to land these great fi ghting fi sh, try the jetties at

Bicton, Mosman, Claremont and Nedlands.

It is worth casting a line along the beaches in POST territory, with most favourite haunts holding good numbers of whiting, skippy, and nice silver bream, along with plenty of herring and a few half-decent tailor.

City and Floreat beaches have been fi shing particularly well over the past week or so for bread-and-butter species.

If you happen to be lucky enough to get out in a boat be-tween the weather, plenty of king george whiting are being caught as well as squid and herring over the weedy areas.

Remember, the smallest fi sh are the sweetest, just ask my mum.

Imports pass on passion for lacrosseTwo US players are boosting

the standard of play and pro-viding support for local junior coaches at Subiaco Lacrosse Club.

The club recruited Brendan Murphy from New York State and Evan Leeder from Pennsylvania, both fresh from success in the competitive US National College Lacrosse League.

Subiaco vice-president Andrew McTaggart said the move was part of a strategic plan to help junior coaches with their skills.

“In Perth, we play in our own

little bubble, but outside here lacrosse is a massive interna-tional sport,” Andrew said.

“Through the American boys, our junior players and coaches are getting a window into the international lacrosse world and can see the level at which lacrosse can be played.”

He said that as a specialist junior coach, Brendan was able to engage young people.

Brendan was so passionate to get to Australia after graduating from college that he resorted to crowd-funding to raise the necessary fi nances.

“I was a little nervous as I had heard that people from American get a bit of stick here,” Brendan said. “But the people I’ve met so far have been real friendly.

“The kids are really enthusi-astic and it seems that part of the Australian character is to always give things a go.”

The two men are visiting schools to run coaching clinics and also hold after-school clinics at Rosalie Park.

For more information, call Brendan on 0448 132 020 or Evan on 0484 346 053.

Shaking cans for VinniesThe St Vincent de Paul

Society’s annual street appeal is on next Friday, September 11, and many volunteers will be out and about.

St Vincent de Paul CEO Mark Fitzpatrick said the money raised would go towards provid-ing emergency relief and sup-port to families and individuals.

“The society responds to wel-fare needs in the community by way of food, clothing, furniture and fi nancial assistance,” Mr Fitzpatrick said.

“Last year, Vinnies provided emergency relief to around 40,000 people in WA.

“With a high cost of living and increases in the cost of utilities, we are experiencing a higher number of people struggling fi nancially so we are hoping West Australians will give what they can.”

Some local places where you can look for volunteers

include Rokeby Road, outside Woolworths in Subi Square, at the Park Street entry of Coles Subiaco, Coles West Leederville, Bunnings at Home Base, and Subiaco railway station.

Not attracted to the prospect of retirement, he is channelling his energies into Teach for Australia, which runs parallel to Teach First in the UK.

John will be interviewed from 10 to 11am.The audience will be invited to join in

the discussion.Contact Westcoast Community Centre on

A new committee was elected at the bowling club’s annual general meeting on Sunday and members wish them all the best for the coming year.

Rain stopped play on Saturday, but there was a big roll-up on Tuesday.

It was good to see so many members getting practice in for the new season.

The winners were the mighty ladies’ team of Sue Epis, Sandra Ellis and Yvonne Barron, with runners-up Dale Walsh, Peter Smyth, Sheila Binns and Graham Povey. Well done to all.

Fish and chip meals are still available on Tuesday evenings from 5.30pm.

Members are re-minded the opening day of the season for everybody is Sunday, September 20.

The threatened storms failed to even-tuate, but a number of members took part in the state doubles championship being held at Maison de France Pétanque Club throughout the weekend.

Remarkably, Nick has returned to the pistes after his recent knee surgery.

Congratulations to Stephanie who has been voted in for a second term as vice- president of Pétanque WA.

Much to their delight, the children from Cottesloe Primary Kindergarten had the chance to get close to snakes, frogs, snails and lizards, all thanks to Animal Ark.

Cottesloe Primary Kindergarten teacher Jillian Creedon said the visit was a great way to inspire the children.

“Kindy is all about stretching your horizons,” she said.

“This wild encounter was a way to experience something new and to expand personal boundaries in

a supportive environment.”Mrs Creedon said that though

kindy was optional, it was a very important school year.

“Kindy helps children to develop language and to learn to interact with peers and adults in a range of play and more formal situations,” she said.

She said at Cottesloe it was integrated with the rest of the primary school, with access to all the school’s facilities, including the library.

Enrolments for 2016 kindergarten intakes are still open.

On the other rink, Jenni Lush, Deirdre Duncan, Petina Evans and Margaret Gawler got in front and never looked back, winning 23/7 and earning three valuable points.

Robbie Blythe and Mac Hughes tied with Bill Ford and Malcolm Moore in Thursday’s three-bowl pairs, with Robbie and Mac the winners on count-back.

There was not a great deal of interest in the cup and saucer, but after a below par fi rst game, Peter Evans and Uncle Arthur bounced back to claim the china ware.

On Saturday, after back-chatting the Beeg Fat Controller, Ray Preston was teamed with Peter Evans and Laurie Ward with Alan Brindley for a game of four-bowl pairs. Ray and Peter outlasted Laurie and Alan to win by seven.

The well-mannered B o b P o r t e r a n d Graeme Gerrans were allowed to play Anne Ormsby and Uncle Arthur in three-bowl pairs.

Bob and Graeme got off to an early start and were the big winners of the Mars Bars pairs, with Ray and Peter a creditable second.

When Coppelia was fi rst staged in Paris in 1870, the ballet perfectly refl ected Parisian cultural life.

It was a world of Impressionist painters, like ballet-loving Edgar Degas, popular bal-musette music and comic opera.

Europe was on the cusp of the Franco-Prussian war and people were fl eeing persecution to settle in the New World.

It is in this era that

Queensland choreographer Greg Horsman has set his new version of Coppelia for a co-production between Queensland and WA ballet companies.

He has moved the action from its original setting in the 18th century Austrian Empire to Hahndorf in South Australia, around the same time that the ballet was conceived.

Greg fi rst visited Hahndorf in 1986 and was inspired to move the ballet’s story to this town, settled mainly

by German migrants. His research showed that many children and adults had been lost in transit to their new homes and this fuelled the idea that Dr Coppelius might invent an animated dancing doll, Coppelia, in an attempt to re-create a lost daughter.

People in the second half of the 19th century were fascinated by automata, moving machinery and puppets.

Writing an introduction to WA Ballet Company’s production of Coppelia, music lover and arts

researcher Alan Dodge says automaton makers, like Frenchman Pierre Jaquet-Droz and Swiss mechanic Henri Maillardet, created dolls that were able to draw pictures and write poems.

By the time the ballet Coppelia was created, there were many family-based fi rms making automata in Paris, Alan said.

A comedic ballet about a beautiful, life-sized dancing doll was bound to be popular in 1870 Paris.

Choreographed by Arthur

Saint-Léon, with Charles Nuitter’s libretto based on E. T. A. Hoffmann’s fairy tale, the ballet was set to music by Léo Delibes.

Delibes was described as a dancer’s composer – he attempted to do what the new Impressionist painters of the time were doing: make colour matter.

Alan said: “Delibes loved colour, especially oriental colours, and he was inventive. He knew how to

I recently found a goal list my boyfriend had made. These

were to be fulfi lled by August this year.

At fi rst it seemed cute, until I got to this goal: “Fall in love with the girl of my dreams.” I still thought was cute, until I saw the name beside it, which was not me. It was a girl I was once friends with.

I panicked, then got angry. Then felt maybe I was overreacting. Then cried and felt I wasn’t good enough.

Because I did not say

anything to him, every time he pulls away or comes home a little late, I think he wants her, not me. I don’t know if he does, but I wonder if I’m only temporary. I don’t know. I love him, but I’m scared.

Now I’m trying to avoid a pregnancy test because I’m terrifi ed it will be positive, and he’ll wish it was her carrying his baby.

Ingrid

Ingrid, you need to confront him because you need access

to more information. You need an internal

resolution about his love for you.

But before you confront him, decide if you want his honest answer, or if you want the answer you want to hear. The answer you want to hear may make you temporarily happy, but every good or bad event in the future will be coloured by what the truth is.

Before you confront him, fi nd out if you are pregnant because

a possible pregnancy should not be part of the discussion. “I might be pregnant” will colour his answer, but it does not solidify his link to you. At most it solidifi es his link to your baby.

When you trap a man into marriage, when times get tough and all you have to lean on is his love for you, you won’t have even that.

If you still aren’t sure of his love, pretend you are deaf. Take all the words away. Observe. A man in love shows love through his actions.

Coppelia gets the Degas look

describe the action with music.”

The ballet’s debut was at the Théâtre Impérial de l’Opéra, better known as the Salle Le Peletier, which was the favoured theatre of Degas, who also loved the charm of colour and devoted most of his time to painting dancers, mostly backstage or in rehearsal.

In his introduction, Alan writes: “The company was fi lled with dancers taken from the lower levels of society, often forced into prostitution on the side as they were paid so little. Most of the corps was

made up of very young girls, known at the time as les petits rats (the little rats), who spent their lives in rehearsal rooms being ogled by men in top hats and fur coats who were prospects for added income.”

This is a new world ver-sion of one of the oldest ballets still performed.

The WA Ballet presented Chrissie Parrott’s cheeky 1950s version of Coppélia in 2007. This new produc-tion of Coppélia, which premiered in 2014 with Queensland Ballet, is the second of two new co-commissions for the two companies.■ Coppelia will be performed at His Majesty’s Theatre from September 11 to 26.

■ Edgar Degas’ painting Two Ballet Dancers. A new gallery space in Subiaco offers local artists an opportunity to show original works.

Andreas Buse has been running a gallery space at the front of Art Framers in Claremont for the past year, but lost half his hanging space when Nick at Art Framers did a bit of refurbishment.

“Nick and I will still show artworks at Art Framers,” Andreas said. “But I decided I needed more exhibition space.”

Mirage Digital in Hay Street, Subiaco, offered Andreas a large gallery space and, after a few renovations, A & A Art Display opens this weekend.

German-born Andreas has always loved the strong bold colours of the Australian landscape.

“If you had shown me Australian paintings when

I lived in Germany, I would never have believed those colours were real,” he admitted.

To celebrate vivid Australian colours, Andreas has invited four artists for his fi rst exhibition – landscape artists Peter Ryan and Amanda Humphries, seascape painter Genevieve Montgomerie and Demi McLeod.

A & A Art Display is at 88 Hay Street.

Kimberley writer Jub Clerc’s new play explores a universal question – is progress fi nancial or cultural? Is it about politics or place?

In her play, The Fever and the Fret, Jub, who is aYawuru woman, looks at progress from the perspective of the WA mining boom.

Against a background of around 1.5million tonnes of ore a day being hauled out of the ground, she looks at one small family and what mining means for the people living on that ground.

In what Jub describes as “this frantic rollercoaster ride that is life”, young Lizzy and her grandparents, Iggy and Ruby, are struggling to fi nd their place in this new world.

Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company presents the world premiere of The

Fever and the Fret from its new home at the Subiaco Arts Centre.

It is directed by Kyle Morrison, Jub’s friend since they were about three, and Kyle said the semi-autobiographical story was a shared experience.

“Jub wrote the play as part of an Australian playwright’s residency in Broome, and this one was a stand-out,” he said.

The story begins in the 1980s and travels through to current day.

“This is a family on the cusp of a huge development,” Kyle said.“ They have suffered,

embraced and, at times, even celebrated it.

“Progress is part of all our narratives in this country, and particularly in this state, and we need to look at the results and the repercussions.

“Jub’s thoughts on contemporary Aboriginality are beautiful and poetic.

“It is not our place to say what is right or wrong. It’s our job, in the theatre, to throw up the conversation. Let’s talk about it.”

Kyle said Yirra Yaakin was proud to be back in Subiaco and the company was facing a healthy and exciting future.

The Fever and the Fret will star Kelton Pell (Redfern Now, Waltzing The Wilarra), Irma Woods (The Cake Man, Waltzing The Wilarra) and Ebony McGuire (Kep Kaatijin).

The play will run from September 10 to 24 at the Subiaco Arts Centre. Book through Ticketek.

One family and the mining boom

Tahlia Norrish said she played it very cool when she met Sir Paul McCartney: “Oh my god, you’re a Beatle!” she said as she accepted her award and sat down.

Tahlia (20), from Swanbourne, had just fi nished a year of study at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, which Paul McCartney opened in 1996 in what was once his high school.

She studied acting and music theatre and, at her graduation, unexpectedly received the Philip Holt Human Spirit award.

“I was just so shocked by

the award – I was sure it was typo – that I wasn’t really thinking straight,” Tahlia said.

Following her success in Liverpool, Tahlia has been accepted into Rose Bruford College of theatre and performance in Kent, south of London.

She left Swanbourne this week to start another three years of theatre studies.

“I still feel like I need to commit myself to new

challenges before I embark on a professional career,” said Tahlia, who developed her love of acting at Claremont’s John XXIII College.

Her aim is ultimately to work with prestigious companies like the Royal Shakespeare Company or

London’s National Theatre.

“Eventually I’d like to come back home with a bit of experience and contacts,” she said.

The state library will host a series of free lunchtime concerts to showcase new music.

Composer Cat Hope, an associate professor at Edith Cowan University, was instrumental in establishing a project for the library to record new music as part of its collection.

“The state library has a comprehensive collection of music in scores, records and CDs,” Cat said. “But a lot of new electronic music doesn’t have a score, or it’s hard to understand the notations. Most new music needs to be performed to make sense of it.”

The library combined with Tura New Music and Edith Cowan University to develop the WA New

Music Archives. Students from the

music program at the WA Academy of Performing Arts are performing new music live in the library, partly to make new WA music accessible to a wide audience, and partly to allow recording of the music.

“Students are now encouraged to record their new work,” said Cat, who was an independent artist for many years, composing and performing her own new music.

She said the library performances were an opportunity for emerging composers to have their music performed outside WAAPA, and to road-test it in a public space.

The library will collect and preserve this new music for future generations.

New composers and musicians will perform in the state library once a month until the end of the year.

On Friday, September 18, the Newhouse Collective will perform the original jazz-infl uenced compositions of talented young composer Tim Newhouse.

On Friday, October 30, WAAPA piano students will showcase a range of approaches to new piano music, and on November 13, harpist Catherine Ashley will perform compositions for harp.

On December 11, Josten Myburgh, studying honours in composition and music technology, will demonstrate the relationships between electronic digital and acoustic sound.

Most would like to forget the fashion of the 1980s, but who can forget the music?

Coming hard and fast out of the disco-and-glitter-ball era, the 80s saw the emergence of an exceptional range of music and singer songwriters who have stood the test time.

AC/DC, Queen, and Culture Club made their mark, as did singer-songwriters Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and Sinead O’Connor.

In Britain, singer and musician Paul Young led a new genre called “blue-eyed soul”.

The young frontman of three short-lived bands, turned solo and became an 80s teen idol.

He is famous for such hit singles as Love of the Common People, Wherever I Lay My Hat, Come Back and Stay, Everytime You Go Away and Oh Girl.

Headlining a touring show direct from the UK, Paul Young comes to the Astor next month.

He’s joined by another 80s teen idol, Nik Kershaw.

In the mid-80s, Nik had a string of hits, including I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me and Wouldn’t It Be Good, which had him on the UK Singles Chart for 62 weeks, beating all other solo artists.

Elton John described him as one of the best songwriters of a

generation.Pop duo Go West was

formed in 1982 by singer Peter Cox and guitarist Richard Drummie. Their international top 10 hits included We Close Our Eyes and King of Wishful Thinking. They were named best newcomer at the 1986 Brit Awards.

Rock band Cutting Crew are best remembered for their hit singles Died In Your Arms and I’ve Been In Love Before.

These British icons from pop to rock perform in 80s Mania at the Astor Theatre on Wednesday, September 9. To book, call 9370 5888.

New music saved for posterity

Did you know the expres-sion jet black comes from fossilised wood found in Whitby in Yorkshire? Jet is found in seams of shale, some of which extend under the sea. Pieces often break away in bad weather to be washed up on the shore.The manufacture of jet jewellery in Whitby began in the early 1800s and gained world prominence at London’s Great Exhibition in 1851.When Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, died in 1861, the nation was plunged into mourning. It was decreed that the Queen’s court had to wear black and the public followed suit for many years.As a result, the demand for jet jewellery grew signifi cantly and, at its peak, around 1400 people connected to the industry were employed in the small town of Whitby. By the 1880s, the mourning code had relaxed and the jet industry had declined considerably. Jet jewellery is still made today and you can fi nd pieces of jet on the beach in Whitby. And jet was not just an ornament of mourning

– black jewellery was the height of fashion and worn for its beauty and sentiment.Amazing skill is needed to carve and polish jet. It is light in weight, so large pieces could be worn comfortably. It’s still very fashionable to wear jet today, with black always in vogue. Be careful not to confuse Whitby jet with French jet, which is basically black glass. You can tell the difference because the glass is brittle and cold to touch. Jet may induce an electric charge when rubbed and is sometimes referred to as black amber because amber does the same thing.

David Kane would like to revolutionise the fast-food industry. And the way he plans to do that is with his own-made soups.

David lives and works around Fremantle and said he was frustrated by the lack of healthy take-away food options for lunch.

“I was sick to death of sandwiches, burgers and kebabs,” David said. “And unless you want a full-blown meal, we are extremely limited to what is on offer.”

So he started making soup.

David has always been a passionate amateur cook. He has six sisters and soup was always a family favourite as a quick, healthy option.

Encouraged by friends and family, David started a pop-up gourmet soup bar called Suppa Club, and asked for a stall at the Subiaco Farmers’ Market.

“They said they were full, but liked the idea of home-made soup so much that I had a stall within a couple of weeks,” David said.

To get the business up and running in a whirlwind couple of weeks, he hired a commercial kitchen at Mantle in Fremantle and worked well into the night making up a range of his own recipes to suit vegan and vegetarian palates, refi ning classic soup recipes and creating hearty meat options.

David’s pop-up Suppa Clubs at Subiaco and now South Fremantle’s Growers’ Green markets have become a success.

“It’s great seeing people line up for healthy food,”

he said. David has a common

sense approach to food, saying that he doesn’t like fad diets but believes

fi rmly in eating less, eating well with fresh, locally sourced produce, drinking lots of water and taking regular exercise.

He is currently cutting back on his day job with a creative agency, and spends Friday nights cooking up to 100 litres of soup – from his popular pumpkin and coconut cream, and classic potato soups to beef goulash and Moroccan lamb.

“I’ve always wanted to do something with my passion and hopefully, by bringing back a traditional, healthy dish such as soup, I can do my bit to improve the fast-food industry,” David said.

He rarely has any left-overs, but if he does, he donates them to St Patrick’s Community Centre in Fremantle.

Fast food gets a healthy spin

■ David Kane is wowing the market scene with his super soups.

Your chance to disrupt the expertsThe state library’s second Disrupted Festival: debate, discussion and disagreement will be held on the afternoons of September 6 and 13.

Cartoonist writer, painter, philosopher and poet Michael Leunig will be joined by Professor Carmen Lawrence, gardener Sabrina Hahn, foreign editor and political analyst Greg Sheridan, and author Liz Byrski in a festival of ideas.

Questioning, discussion, debate and potential disagreement is encouraged in the series of Sunday afternoon sessions.

Every session will include a chaired Q&A panel where everyone is encouraged to question and challenge the presenters.

Tickets, organised through Eventbrite, are needed for all sessions.

■ Fast food that is healthy, too.

■ There are soups for vegetarians.

The next concert by Allegri Chamber Orchestra will follow cycle of life … from lullabies to laments.

In what promises to be a very interesting performance, the orchestra will be joined by Eneksis Vocal Ensemble, which is made up of students from the WA Academy of Performing Arts.

The orchestra will be conducted by Laurissa McCarthy and the singers will be directed by her part-ner, Micheál.

The program will feature works by eastern European composers, some rare and some old favourites.

The concert is at 3pm on Sunday, September 13, at

St Thomas’ Church, on the corner of College Road and Melville Street, Claremont.

Take a cushion for extra comfort.

Tickets are $20, $15 con-cession, and free for chil-dren under 18.

Refreshments will be available during the interval for a gold coin donation.

Having a bit in reserveEvery year, the Comité Interprofessionnel des Vins de Champagne sets a maximum yield that is designed to control quality and output from the French region.

Drought in Champagne set in at the end of May this year and left the vines short on water, resulting in slow growth. This will see a reduction in wine volume, and so a lower maximum of 10,000kg per hectare has been set, with an additional 500kg per hectare being allowed to be released from the reserve. Reserve wines are a fascinating aspect of champagne production. Reserve is the term used for still wines held in reserve at the end of primary fermentation. This wine can be used by a chef de cave (winemaker) at a future time of their choosing. The wines are stored in tanks, barrels or, in the case of Bollinger, en magnum.Reserve wines serve several purposes. Firstly, their addition to a blend can contribute texture, depth and richness. By choosing wines that have particular characteristics, the chef de cave can smooth out the vagaries of the vintage.For example, reserve wines kept from a warm and therefore ripe year such as 2003 may be contributed to wines from cooler years with reduced ripe fruit characteristics. Reserve wines also provide

insurance against extreme weather events that can affect the yields of vineyards – frost, hail and other damaging events.A winery with a large bank of reserve wines can ensure that its production is not severely hampered by unexpected weather events.In July 2013, a hailstorm wreaked havoc on the vineyards around Epernay, where Pol Roger is produced, and the Cote des Blancs. Some vineyards had extensive damage and lost up to 30% of their yields – a costly night.It was estimated that more than 300ha of vineyards were completely destroyed in that storm, and up to 3000ha were badly affected.For wineries that had a large stock of reserve wine in the bank, the fi nancial cost of the storm could be reduced, however for wineries producing all that they grew, or bought, there could be little insulation against this scale of damage.

One thing that can be said about The Gift is that it keeps on giving – not just for the full length of its absorbing 108-minute running time but for hours after, as its lingering creepiness continues to make you shudder.

It’s the feature directorial debut of Joel Edgerton, who also wrote and stars, and is a taut psychological thriller that on one hand delivers a series of jump scares but on the other offers the kind of nuance and intelligence rarely seen in stalker fi lms.

One of its great strengths is the manner in which Edgerton shifts audience perception, tipping the scales of empathy between characters until virtually

nothing is clear-cut.It starts out with an

amiable, upwardly mobile couple, Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn

(Rebecca Hall), buying a house in the Los Angeles hills, having just moved from Chicago. It’s Simon’s hometown; he’s just landed

a new job while Robyn is easing back to work after a miscarriage.

By chance, while they’re out furniture shopping, they

bump into a man named Gordo (Edgerton) who went to school with Simon but whom Simon does not initially recognise. The next day he drops by, leaving a gift on the doorstep, and slowly starts insinuating himself into their lives.

While Robyn tentatively likes him, or at least his gestures, and empathises with his social awkwardness, Simon remembers him more clearly – “Gordo the weirdo” – and wants the acquaintance cut off.

That’s when things start getting overtly creepy, especially for Robyn, and a chance discussion compels her to start investigating just what kind of relationship her husband had with Gordo in high school.

Apart from playing Gordo with a kind of meek sweetness mixed with a

steely-eyed creep factor, Edgerton’s real coup is landing Bateman and Hall as the central couple.

Bateman, usually the sweet, funny, slightly ineffectual guy (Arrested Development, Identity Thief), plays superbly against type, while Hall (Frost/Nixon, The Town) gives Robyn a complexity that only adds to the perplexingly blurred character lines.

Edgerton’s strength is writing wonderfully fl awed, complex characters, as we saw in the last fi lm he wrote, the excellent and underrated Australian drama Felony (directed by Matthew Saville).

That’s the strength of The Gift. Despite some too-obvious manipulations, he has crafted a fi ne, thorny thriller that sticks with you.

✪ Average star ratings

REWIND■ Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

(M) ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪½ “What begins as a spirited but safely familiar pastiche of John Hughes and Wes Anderson is compelled to become its own thing, Gomez-Rejon’s fi lm embracing the most tired tropes of stereotypical YA weepies so that it can kiss them goodbye,” says Time Out New York. The New York Observer agrees: “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl treats a serious subject with wackadoodle humour that is endearingly contagious. It’s tender, clever, wise and highly recommended.”

■ Straight Outta Compton (MA15+) ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪½ Rolling St one says Compton would “be better if it didn’t sidestep the band’s misogyny, gay-bashing and malicious infi ghting” but “what stands is an amazement, an electrifying piece of hip-hop history that speaks urgently to right now”. The Guardian semi-agrees: “The fi rst half of Straight Outta Compton, F Gary Gray’s two-and-a-half hour opus about the birth of west coast gangsta rap, is bursting with energy, exuberance and inspiration. The second half is immobilised by bloat and sanctifi cation.”

■ We Are Your Friends (MA15+) ✪ ✪ ✪ ½ “The feature debut of director Max Joseph can occasionally be as entrancing and euphoric as the pulsating dance songs on the soundtrack. But even an empathetic performance from Zac Efron (and an impressive, nuanced turn from Wes Bentley) can’t distract from a movie that mistakes surface fl ash for probing, zeitgeist-y insights,” says Screen International. Rolling Stone reckons “The clichés tick off with metronomic regularity” in a fi lm that “panders to formula instead of exploding it”.

What the critics are saying…

cinema

Two epic pieces of modern history are committed to documentary fi lm in The Wall and How to Change the World.

The Wall is a concert fi lm in which Roger Waters, co-founder and pri-mary songwriter of Pink Floyd, fuses the public and the personal.

Written and directed by Waters and Sean Evans, it is based on Pink Floyd’s ground-breaking concept album, The Wall, and embarks on an intensely personal road trip that deals with the loss Waters has felt throughout his life due to war.

Screening at Luna Leederville and Luna on SX in Fremantle as part of a worldwide screening event at 8pm on Tuesday, September 29, the fi lm is followed by a recorded Q&A called The Simple Facts, in which Waters and his Pink Floyd band mate Nick Mason are reunited to answer questions submitted by fans from around the world.

The other piece of history, How to Change the World, will

screen for a limited season at Luna cinemas and is a real-life thriller about the pioneers of Greenpeace.

Jerry Rothwell’s self-described “hippie heist movie” chronicles the fl edgling days of Greenpeace, from its beginnings in the early 70s, as a group of friends sail a boat into the maelstrom of a nuclear test zone in Alaska, capturing the world’s attention, through its internal struggles and politicking as the movement grew into an international phenomenon.

With extraordinary, never-before-seen, mint-condition 16mm footage from the archives and personal collections of seminal fi gures, How to Change the World presents a character-rich rendering of how a disparate group of hippies ascended to an iconic activist movement.

Its score includes numbers from Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Brigitte Bardot and Canned Heat.

It screens for a two-week season at Cinema Paradiso from September 17.

Documenting history of our times

■ Like the Pink Floyd album of the same name, The Wall is a concert fi lm that is also intensely personal.

Stacey Clark knows how to make people feel at home.

She works with big brands, brides and magazines to style intimate, long-table dining experiences.

“Sharing meals creates conversations and builds community,” Stacey said.

As a former stay-at-

home mum, Stacey always enjoyed organising her children’s birthday parties and family celebrations.

“I had long been interested in styling and decided that I had to work in a creative industry,” she said.

Four years later, the move has paid off.

Stacey has been approached by international brands like

Williams-Sonoma and Kinfolk magazine to plan Perth-based events.

She credits this success to her attention to detail and modern yet atmospheric aesthetic.

“There are lots of stylists in Perth, but I think it is important to develop your own voice and distinct look,” she said.

“It’s so important to me that guests feel comfortable

and you can do this by what you put on the table.”

Asked for her tips on styling a table, Stacey suggested using simple, natural and organic adornments that did not clutter the space.

“Have a signature point in the setting, like a fl oral arrangement, to give people something to look at when they come in,” she said.

“Candles create a nice

mood, especially at night.”A self-confessed list-

maker, Stacey said it was important to be organised to make sure you and your guests enjoyed the evening.

“Envision people arriving and try to predict what they will want when they walk into your home,” she said.

“Finally, make sure it feels like a gathering of

friends – we invite people to pass food down the table rather than waiting on them. It gets people talking.”

While she also enjoys sitting at her exquisitely-fashioned dinner tables, Stacey loves the challenge of being on the other side of events.

“Planning long-table dinners is what drives me,” she said.

■ A manicured back garden enhances the home’s parkside location.

Parklands at your doorstep

The tagline on the sign at the front of this contem-

porary home reads “Fields of Dreams”.

You only have to turn around to see why.

Just over the road lie more than 3ha of verdant parklands, ringed by towering native trees and serenaded by birds.

It’s not a bad front yard, something the designer acknowledged by orienting the house westward on its 850sq.m corner block.

Though it was built 15 years ago, the use of mate-rials like Tasmanian oak, steel and glass lends it a timeless quality that makes it very easy on the eye.

Nature continues to play a part in the backyard, where a wisteria-covered trellis brings shade and romance to the alfresco deck by the pool.

Inside, the house is both functional and spacious.

The social hub of the home is the downstairs liv-ing area, where gleaming timber fl oors connect the kitchen, dining area and lounge.

If you’re looking for an excuse not to cook then you’re straight out of luck, as the well-equipped kitchen features high-end stainless-steel appliances, ample storage space and the unusual combination of steel and timber benchtops.

The timber benches lend

warmth to the breakfast bar area, before swapping to the more practical steel in the main food prepara-tion area.

Four spacious bedrooms can be found in the house, including a luxurious parents’ retreat with park views and an elegant mar-ble ensuite.

The three children’s bedrooms are upstairs and they open to a study nook with built-in desks and cabinets.

There is also a sunlit sit-ting area on the top fl oor, including big sliding glass doors that open to a small balcony with – you guessed it – park views.

The selling agent is Greg Williams, of Mack Hall.

Fancy the aristocratic life?Despite the efforts of a few jumped-up sheep farmers in the late 19th century, Australia has never really embraced the idea of an Australian aristocracy. Had the idea got off the ground, however, you can be sure than an Australian house of lords would be stacked to the brim with South Australians. Prominent families like the Playfords and the Downers have made SA their home since before Federation, so it shouldn’t be that surprising to fi nd a 131-year-old English mansion in the Adelaide Hills. Built for wine merchant and politician Sir William Milne in about 1884, Eurilla boasts 2ha of manicured formal gardens, a stable and a palatial main resi-dence. The fi ve-bedroom property is listed for an undisclosed price by selling agents Nathan Casserly and Victoria McGregor-Reid, of Ouwens Casserly Adelaide.

Let’s be honestPerth’s property prices are falling and the market will remain fl at next year, according to the NAB’s Australian Housing Market Report. So what should agents tell vendors? The truth, according to Craig Gaspar, of Caporn Young. “Honesty is the best policy,” Mr Gaspar said. “Sellers rely on agents to give them the correct information. We are having some diffi cult conversations with sellers about what prices they can expect in this market, but it’s important to be honest.” Mr Gaspar had two scheduled auctions last weekend: 3/16 Perina Way, City Beach, which went under the hammer for $785,000, and 19 Hibiscus Court, Churchlands, which was snapped up beforehand for $1.41million. Meanwhile in Nedlands, a two-bedroom apartment at 4/35 Esplanade was sold before the auction by Adam

and Emma Gilbert, of Realmark Western Suburbs. In other auction news: 13 Styne Road, City Beach, was passed in on August 22 but it was sold a week later by Vivien Yap, of LJ Hooker Claremont.

Home fi t for a hobbitIf the property market is getting you down, then here’s a chance to escape into fantasy land. Fit for a hobbit/elf/fairy or a human with a sense of humour, the Mushroom House is for sale. The weird and wonderful house in Perinton, New York, is on the market for US$729,000. Mike Bell, from lightersideofrealestate.com, said the home had everything from organic patterning to luxury appliances and a breathtaking view of a ravine adjacent to Powder Mills Park. “This is truly a wizard’s place,” Mr Bell said. “This home’s wonderland includes a fairy … er … meditation pond, complete with a running waterfall. There’s a full kitchen that any hobbit would be proud of, with lots of mahogany worked in, and a wide-open view to the woods outside.” There are no prizes for guessing when it was built – in the 1960s and early 1970s. It was built for a lawyer/artist couple, Robert and Marguerite Antell.

Red-tape win for buildersHome building and renovation times in WA could be cut by up to two months thanks to a planned state government move to slash red tape. Single dwelling projects that already comply with R-codes will no longer require planning approval, while council planning schemes will be standardised into a uniform format. REIWA president David Airey said

the move ended one of the home builder’s main frustrations – the need to get planning approval and a separate building permit. “It has never been very practical to get two approvals for the one house and this has added a lot of time to the process,” Mr Airey said. “Thankfully, the Minister has overseen a commonsense change that now means a planning-compliant single house will no longer require approval.”

Buyers compete for ‘unsafe home’At the other end of the desirability scale, the Queensland home dubbed “Australia’s worst house” has sold at auction for $668,000. The seriously dilapidated home on a 427sq.m block in Dutton Park, about 4km from the Brisbane CBD, fetched $168,000 more than the reserve in a suburb where the median house price is $785,000. Ray White’s Gunther Behrendt listed the home as “structurally unsafe to enter” in his online listing, but that only heightened interest among buyers eager to get their hands on the valuable block. “There is no way to sugar-coat this,” Mr Behrendt wrote truthfully in the listing. More than 100 people attended the auction to watch 25 bidders compete for the timber home, which was built before 1946.

You can keep an eye on your boat from the

balcony of this luxurious riverside apartment.

Set in the sought-after Moorings complex, the three-bedroom lifestyle property is so close to the water that a champagne cork launched from the balcony could easily end up bobbing in the Swan.

That’s not an unlikely sce-nario, beause a big covered balcony and a spacious inte-rior with high-end fi nishes make the apartment an ideal venue for social events such as family get-togethers and Christmas lunches.

You can cater for the events in the upscale kitchen, which has plenty of fl oor space, a big pan-try and sleek white stone benchtops.

If you want to impress the guests, you can wander over to your private boat pen and take them for a cruise.

Unfortunately, you still have to provide your own boat.

Built on one level, the apartment reserves its best views for the living area and the palatial main bedroom, which also fea-tures a walk-in robe and an elegant ensuite.

Two minor bedrooms look out to the complex’s landscaped internal court-yard, which connects you to a communal lap pool, gym and tennis court.

In need of a renovation, this character offi ce was sold off the market.

AGENT: Brian Neo, Burgess Rawson.

When asked about the fl oors, selling agent John Hunter,

of Abel McGrath, doesn’t need to look up the material.

“They’re Indian slate,” he says, without missing a beat.

“Everybody asks about the fl oors.”

The rough-cut stone is an in-tegral part of the contemporary design, which relies heavily on natural materials to create the feel of a country retreat.

Timber cabinets and reed-effect wallpaper complement the cool stone fl ooring, which covers most of the main living area and the hall.

The living area at the rear is the centrepiece of the house, featuring a high-end kitchen,

sunken lounge and big alfresco terrace.

Quality finishes define the kitchen, where rich timber and composite stone are combined to create a beautiful breakfast bar.

There is also a butler’s pan-try hidden behind one of the cabinets.

A partition with an embedded double-sided gas fi re marks the end of the kitchen, where steps lead down to a dining area and an adjoining sitting room.

The alfresco terrace overlooks the pool at the back of the 850sq.m block, where a limestone retain-ing wall and landscaped gardens mark the boundary.

Back in the home’s foyer, a short staircase leads up to the main suite, which is appropri-ately elevated over the rest of the house.

It features a spacious bedroom and a walk-in robe that leads to a luxurious ensuite.

Next door, a study with in-ternal windows overlooks the hall like the manager’s offi ce in a factory.

The property is also listed by Simon McGrath.

The surf shack at 130 Wisteria Drive might be a little diffi cult

to fi nd, but it’s certainly worth the effort.

The four-bedroom rural Quindalup home was a labour of love for the owner, who was drawn to the 3.77ha site by its open pasture, native trees and the sound of the surf rolling at nearby Smiths Beach.

The use of Colorbond on the building’s interior and exterior was as much a practical choice as a stylistic one.

“I’m not a chippy, but I can cut and weld steel,” the owner said.

“We wanted to build a place overlooking the dam, so I chose Colorbond for its ease of use.”

The home is well insulated for all seasons and has a big slow-combustion wood heater in the open-plan living area.

There is a workshop and shed, with room for surfboards and dirt bikes.

After a surf, you can shoot some pool in the games room and pour drinks at the built-in bar.

The selling agents are Stewart Bettenay, of JMW Real Estate, and Brett Merifi eld, of Professionals South West.

Mr Bettenay described the “luxury shed”-style home as inspiring.

The property is on the market for $835,000.

For almost a century, the Kennedy family

have held on to their prime piece of land at 17 Owston Street, Mosman Park.

You may recognise the old limestone house with its wraparound veranda, round window, two chim-neys and a fl agpole in the front garden.

With its broken lattice and peeling paintwork, the 1921 interwar bunga-low has seen better days.

But it’s all about the 180-degree view of the river from its elevated 2079sq.m site.

It’s the house many people have been wait-ing for ... but it’s not for sale – yet.

However, a 914sq.m slice of the Kennedy property is on the market, along with a brown brick-and-tile house next door at 2 Saunders Street.

M e m b e r s o f t h e Kennedy family have joined forces with neigh-bour Anthony James Lennon to sell the two adjoining properties at the same time.

As director of Peet Ltd, Mr Lennon knows a thing or two about land banking.

In 2002, he paid $ 2 . 0 5 m i l l i o n f o r 2 Saunders Street, accord-

ing to Landgate records.The modest, three-

bedroom and two-bathroom home is on a 975sq.m corner site.

Selling agent Andrew Cooper, of Abode Real Estate, described it as a “once in a lifetime opportunity to secure a signifi cant landholding perched on the crest of Perth’s most exclu-sive enclave, Saunders Street”.

“This rare and re-markable offering com-mands 1889sq.m of prime elevated land,” he said.

“Tightly held since the land was fi rst released in 1918, this property is

steeped in rich local his-tory and has remained in the same family for four generations.”

The old house at 17 Owston Street has a category-three heritage listing on Mosman Park council’s municipal in-ventory.

The inventory said it had been built for Richard Kennedy (1884-1957), who described himself as a traveller and a brewery worker.

Richard’s wife Ellen lived at the home until her death in 1973, and it has remained in the Kennedy family since then.

Giant road trains rumbling our waylength of the freight link into East Fremantle and across the river to North Fremantle, enter-ing Fremantle Port.“People will be horrifi ed when they discover road trains are going to be driving through our suburbs,” said Kim Dravnieks, convener of Rethink the Link, the public campaign opposing the freight link.

“The government has been utterly duplicitous,” he said. “It goes totally against their adver-tising campaign at the moment.

“They’re spending a lot of money saying that the freight link will make it safer for you, safer for children.

“But they’re not telling people that these huge trucks will be on the new Perth Freight Link with a mix of cars at a greater speed, making it more danger-ous, not less.”

Traffi c on the freight link, in-cluding the huge road trains, will be allowed to drive at speeds up to 80kmh, even around curves.

Main Roads has not yet re-sponded to questions about what measures, if any, would be in place to prevent the B-triples from following already established freight truck routes north from Fremantle along Curtin Avenue, Marine Parade, Stirling Highway and West Coast Highway.

“If you want to avoid a toll, you drive on other roads, so we can safely say we are going to have more heavy trucks on roads that aren’t the freight link,” Professor Newman said at a public forum opposing the freight link held in Cottesloe this week.

He said it was highly inappro-priate to have B-triples sharing

roads with other suburban traf-fi c, and penetrating deep into the urban area.

“It should be obvious that you don’t run any kind of B-triple traffi c through the suburbs, no matter what measures you might take to try to protect people from them with walls and other devices to separate them from the community.”

“The reality is the freight link is going to be used by substan-tial numbers of cars as well as trucks, because it’s going through the main urban area.”

He said the sheer bulk and size of the road trains were major concerns on shared roads.

“These road trains are sig-nifi cantly more dangerous in mixed traffi c because of their size,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter how good their engines are, how good their brakes are – you know what a road train is like in the country, how hard it is to get around to pass one.

“That is what we will be contending with en masse in Perth now.”

Chair of the Freight and Logistics Council Fred Affl eck said he thought the B-triples on the freight link would not be popular.

“People tend not to like big trucks,” he said.

But he said B-triples were very safe trucks and their ad-vent would be economically benefi cial to the port.

“It’s about effi cient movement of freight, and this is certainly one of the most effi cient ways to do it,” Dr Affl eck said.

Professor Newman agreed that the road trains would be highly unpopular.

“I think it’s the fi nal nail in the coffi n for the Perth Freight Link,” he said.

“When people realise that these massive juggernauts are going to be sharing our roads, thundering through our suburbs, they’ll say this must not happen.”

He agreed with Dr Affl eck that road trains would bring a heightened cost efficiency to freight movement, but he said this effi ciency would be achieved only with social and environmental costs.

“This will kill off the rail op-tion,” he said.

“I hesitate to say rail’s com-pletely dead for the long-term future in the outer harbour at Kwinana, but I think B-triples will kill off trains going to the port in Fremantle; the trains just can’t compete.”

John Hammond, president of the Cottesloe Residents and Ratepayers’ Association, called both the freight link and the change of law to allow road trains on the link totally demented.

“If the multi-combination trucks are going to come down Curtin Avenue and Marine Parade then that will cause se-vere vibrations in homes along those streets,” he said.

“There are going to be greater emissions of diesel particulate which is a threat to health and it’s going to cause substantial noise for our area.

“It will have a profound effect on the way we recreate in our suburbs.

“People will be much less likely to use footpaths or ride bikes, and travelling on our roads will become more dangerous.

“What this demented plan will do is ensure we have thousands of road trains rumbling through our suburb to a port that will be in excess of capacity one year after the unfi nished link is built. It’s madness.”

He agreed with Professor Newman that the prospect of road trains travelling on mixed-use roads through suburban areas highlighted the need for an outer harbour at Kwinana.

“It dramatically emphasises the need for the outer harbour in Kwinana to proceed,” he said.

“We must be looking at rail to transport freight. Using trucks is the antiquated way of doing it.

“We need to seriously look at rail to carry freight and people through our suburbs; that’s what the other major cities of the world are doing.”

instead labelling us NIMBYs and so on.

A sad day for democracy in Cambridge.

Some would have you be-lieve we are about pushing density into other areas; that is not the case.

We understand that the state government’s policy regarding infi ll means our suburbs are not immune to change and infi ll, but they need to be achieved sensibly, with due regard to character and amenity.

This is about what is right for these suburbs to preserve their character for our and future generations.

This is about taking time to make sure we get things right.

In normal circumstances, a council would have listened to ratepayers, engaged with them and worked collabora-tively to achieve an accept-able outcome.

But in this case, circum-stances that unfolded were anything but normal.

Worries about process were

at the outset brought to the council’s attention.

When they were ignored, they were raised with Local Government Minister Tony Simpson.

We had comprehensive advice from a prominent law fi rm and a legal opinion from a QC.

Mr Simpson and his depart-ment refused to investigate our worries, saying they had no responsibility to act.

These concerns are now the subject of the legal pro-ceedings.

We have also met Planning Minister John Day, WA Planning Commission repre-sentatives and Premier Colin Barnett.

As no one in government has been able to allay our concerns, and given that any application for a judicial review of a decision must be brought within six months of its being made, we were left with no alternative but to preserve our legal rights and begin legal proceedings against the council.

The decision was not taken

lightly and it is with a heavy heart that we began proceed-ings against our own council, whose elected members are supposed to represent rate-payers’ interests.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank

everyone in our community and beyond for their gener-ous support, and Churchlands MP Sean L’Estrange for his support to date.

Why Coast ward ratepayers are taking Cambridge council to court• From page 36

‘People power can stop Link’

“Other councils all up and down the coast are understand-ing what’s happening.

“The only council that seems to have its head stuck in the sand is Cottesloe.”

Cottesloe mayor Jo Dawkins said the council had resolved to lobby Mr Barnett and Transport Minister Dean Nalder for the removal of heavy vehicles from roads within Cottesloe and to request models and costs of alternatives to the link.

“Regardless of whether or not the Perth Freight Link goes ahead, residents in Cottesloe are concerned about the increasing volume of heavy trucks on Curtin Avenue,” Mrs Dawkins said.

Cottesloe councillor Jack Walsh said the council did not have a strong position on the link, but offered his views as a resident.

“Environmentally, the Perth Freight Link is a disastrous proposition which will destroy wetlands and threaten the health of the community due to the huge increase in diesel particulate emissions, which are known to cause cancer and heart and lung conditions,” he said.

“Also, let’s imagine the impact on Cottesloe during those years of construction, when the roads in the south end of Cottesloe are all under construction and the traffi c is really jammed up.

“It will have a lasting detri-mental effect on the amenity and lifestyle of the Cottesloe community.”

Kill City of Perth Bill, says Claremontother cities on the world stage,” Mr Goode said in his report.

“The Bill does almost noth-ing to achieve such ideals.”

Mr Goode said the Bill would not give Perth any new powers.

“The state government has clearly held the planning and infrastructure power to itself, which would be a signifi cant disappointment for the City of Perth and other advocates for the Bill,” he said.

If the Bill is enacted, after July 1 next year, council boundaries would change to encompass all of King’s Park and portions of Nedlands and Subiaco.

“The only explanation for the annexation of these lands

has been that as a capital city, Perth should include icon infrastructure, attractions and facilities,” Mr Goode said.

“The new boundary will draw into Perth UWA, King’s Park, QEII Hospital cam-pus and Hollywood Private Hospital.

“There do not seem to be demonstrated problems with the operation of local government in respect to these facilities under the current boundaries, nor is there any operational benefi t from annexing King’s Park into Perth.

“The much commented-upon situation of UWA hav-ing to deal with three local governments at the moment could as easily be addressed by adjusting a boundary to

include it into the City of Nedlands – the most sensible option – or into the City of Subiaco as a slightly less non-sensical option than including it in the district of Perth.”

Mr Goode said Subiaco would lose 1347 rateable properties with an estimated loss in rates of $2,032,000, or 9.1% of rate revenue.

There would also be an estimated $500,000 of lost revenue from parking fees and charges.

“Significant revenue im-pacts have also been reported by the City of Nedlands,” Mr Goode said.

He said the proposed boundary changes were arbi-trary, lacked logic and were entirely contrary to planning for good local government.

“The fact that the changes will rob the cities of Nedlands and Subiaco of revenue while leaving them with inevitable problems simply highlights how poor the idea is,” he said.

Councillors agreed and voted unanimously for Mr Goode’s recommendation.

Councillor Peter Edwards said the Bill looked as though it had been done on the back of a napkin.

Councillor Chris Mews said: “It’s another underhand move by the state government to disenfranchise members of the Subiaco community.”

Councillor Peter Edwards said: “This Bill really makes no sense.”

Mr Haynes said the City of Perth had managed to wobble on for a century without it.

Former lawyer to stand in Cott

Cottesloe’s civic centre. His wife Catherine’s father, Charles Murphy, was mayor for seven years, and Catherine has been a councillor.

He said he was concerned about cyclist and pedestrian safety, the much-complained-about public toilets below Indiana, and other foreshore issues.

“I don’t send my kids in there,” Mr Rodda said about the Indiana toilets.

“Eventually we also have to deal with the congestion at Jarrad Street.

“I’d like to be on the inside and understand the issues.”

Mr Rodda ducked a ques-

tion on whether Premier and Cottesloe MP Colin Barnett did a good job for his suburb.

“In many ways he’s in a diffi cult position,” Mr Rodda said.

“Especially in the current climate, where he could be criticised for spending too much on his electorate.”

Mr Rodda’s children go to Cottesloe Primary School, Presbyterian Ladies’ College and Christ Church Grammar School.

He is chairman of the pri-mary school’s board, has been on the Sea View kindy board, and sat on a Law Society sub-committee when he was a lawyer.

POST, September 5, 2015 – Page 109

Wilson talks pinged

“This action starts with us.”In his response to the email,

Mr Hill said there was clear op-position to what would have been “open discussions ... that could bring a fresh and open mind to the apparently long-standing yet unresolved issues.

“The situation has been dis-cussed with [acting mayor Scott Arbuckle] and while other options were considered, I have taken the decision to defer indefi nitely any meeting with Wilson Parking.”

Wilson last week described councillor Mark Burns “psycho-path” comments as unprofessional, inaccurate and damaging.

It said it had a long-standing and successful contract with the council and that it looked forward to working with Subiaco.

Mr Arbuckle said: “I would prefer a more collegial approach but at the end of the day we need to move forward and the CEO’s determination has been pragmatic and appropriate.”

Mr Hill said it seemed now that Wilson’s only option to deal with the council would be to make a public statement at the start of a committee or council meeting.

Meanwhile the high-profi le spat over the 46 council parking bays in the Wilson carpark in Seddon Street looks set to escalate.

Councillor Lee Hemsley will put forward a motion later this month to sever all commercial links with Wilson.

Mr Hemsley said Subiaco council occasionally used Wilson Security, the same company which subcontracts to Transfi eld Services at the processing centres on Nauru (since 2012) and Manus Island (since February 2014) as part of a more than $2billion contract.

There have been a string of serious sexual and abuse allega-tions against asylum seekers and detainees on both islands involving Wilson staff at the centres.

Other allegations include claims by former Nauru guards that Greens Senator Sarah Hanson Young had been spied on at the island.

SITUATIONS WANTED

classifieds ❑ classifieds ❑Sell Subiaco Oval for cricketthat it was there in black and white that the state government is to demolish and redevelop Subiaco Oval,” she said.

“As a member I stood up and asked them if the WAFC was going to be able to make up the $15mil-lion difference that Subiaco Oval generates for grassroots football in this state.

“They didn’t like questions being asked about football and they said that was a matter for football.

“Their response was that they were just accommodating the WAFC and that loss was up to the football commission.”

Ms Matheson described this as a no-win situation and a devastating loss for grassroots football and Subiaco.

According to the WACA report, the WAFC still has a 77-year lease with Subiaco council for the Oval.

It is looking at other options because AFL West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers matches will move to the new Burswood stadium in 2018.

“The WAFC is now considering alternative accommodation for its administration and training facili-ties for its elite junior football and umpires,” the WACA said.

“Co-location at a developed WACA ground is one of the WAFC’s preferred relocation options and presents some real benefi ts for the WACA in terms of sharing the ongoing maintenance

and operational costs of the WACA ground, potential cost effi ciencies associated with shared services and maximising the utilisation of the ground.

“The WAFC also has a prefer-ence for a venue that is capable of hosting the WAFL match-of-the-round and fi nals matches.”

Vacating Subiaco would also open up purse strings for cricket’s ambitions with the East Perth, stadium the report said.

“[Relocation] also provides a strong argument for capital invest-ment in the WACA ground, as it would release the Domain oval site for commercial and residential development,” the report states.

“[We] have been pursuing nego-tiations with WAFC to develop a draft memorandum of understand-ing to guide an ongoing negotiation process.”

Football bosses said they had been in talks with cricket on a for more than a year.

“At this point in time, the WAFC has made no decisions regarding the location of its administration facilities once AFL games cease at Domain Stadium in 2018, but will continue to examine and discuss options, including the WACA ground,” the commission said in a statement.

“There is no agreement at the current time for WAFL games or fi nals to be played at the WACA grounds.”

In March, councillors unani-mously voted to recommend the turfed area, on which football had been played for more 100 years, should be placed on the state heritage list as a culturally signifi cant place.

Listing the 191m by 132m playing

surface would have protected it from redevelopment.

But last month, the day after Subiaco councillors held a workshop about the future of the oval and grounds, they were told the heritage push could be in trouble.

“A number of things have hap-pened with this nomination that indicated a very likely political resistance to this nomination,” a senior council source told coun-cillors.

Councillor Mark Burns – who moved the motion to heritage list the oval – said the WACA an-nouncement proved why it needed to be protected.

“This is exactly what I had en-visioned,” he said.

“Mr Barnett wishes to sell it and listing it interferes with that process,” he said.

“We need to be fi ghting the State Heritage Offi ce via public support to list the oval or our involvement in its future is over and done with.

The WA Cricket Association suggests demolishing Subiaco Oval and using the money to rebuild the WACA ground.

Speed humps in Claremont’s Second Avenue have been vetoed by councillors.

Chris Mews was the only Claremont councillor who voted for the devices and said they could be removed if they didn’t work.

A report proposed the cushions go in between Graylands Road and Ashton Avenue, after 49 residents signed a pe-tition complaining about traffi c speeds and poor sightlines.

“It’s a very silly idea and I’m very much against it,” councillor Karen Wood said.

She was worried about hump “prob-lems with horses in boxes” during the nearby Royal Show.

Councillor Jill Goetze said speed wasn’t an issue in Second Avenue.

“Visibility and safety are,” she said.“Parking bays on the crest [of the road]

would be very helpful.”The report cited Main Roads data from

2010 to last year, which showed there were 13 crashes (two people injured, and 11 properties damaged) between Graylands Road and Ashton Avenue.

Councillor Bruce Haynes said humps would only be a challenge to leadfoots.

The vote against the humps was 7-1;The council will spend $8000 on traffi c

islands and try to get Black Spot money for roundabouts in the next fi nancial year.

Speed humps dumped

Crash central … There were 13 crashes on this Claremont road in the four years to

2014.

MH17 work of ‘expert’Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said

an “expert” had shot down MH17 over Ukraine last year.

“Nothing has changed my view that the surface-to-air missile was supplied by Russians to separatists,” Curtin MP Ms Bishop said.

“It was an absolute bullseye – it took out the cockpit.”

The atrocity on July 17 last year killed 298 people, including Scotch College boy Mo Maslin, his siblings Otis and Evie,

and grandfather Nick Norris, who had also gone to Scotch.

Ms Bishop was asked if the people responsible for the atrocity would face justice.

“I believe so – if the international community remains focused on the investigation,” Ms Bishop said.

“We need a prosecuting authority to receive evidence.”

Ms Bishop said Russia had vetoed a tribunal.

“That’s not the end of it,” she said. “There are other options.

“The best would be the United Nations Security Council.”

Ms Bishop said she was deeply con-cerned with Russian president Vladimir Putin’s territorial aspirations.

“Sanctions are hurting, but Putin has an extraordinary way of presenting Russia’s woes as the world’s fault.”

Swinging votersThe swing planned for Swanbourne’s

Hatchett Park will be installed at its original location.

Claremont council wanted to put it in the northern part of the park, near Brian Walker Lane.

But after notifi cation letters were sent to neighbours, one resident suggested the swing go closer to Devon Road.

More letters were sent. Most of the replies went with the original location.

“The people have spoken,” councillor Karen Wood said at Tuesday night’s meeting.

The swing, deck replacement and bin will cost $35,000.

“I’m delighted to see councillor Wood is a swinger,” councillor Peter Browne said.

Five on the listFive people will be interviewed for

the job as Christ Church Grammar School’s next principal.

Methodist Ladies’ College principal Rebecca Cody is on the panel examin-ing the candidates.

Austin Robertson’s sporting

A real puzzler for WA sidesEvery year, the last round

of the home-and-away season throws up interesting issues as teams jostle for position and coaches and players hope for the last-gasp performance that might put ink on a new contract.

This year, two really fascinat-ing situations involve our WA teams, and sorting them out is trickier than doing Rubik’s Cube!

Pretty much everybody’s been happy that the Dockers are resting as many as half their wounded heroes from the game in Adelaide this week-end, so they’ll be cherry-ripe for next week’s historic home qualifying fi nal.

But spare a thought for their opponents, Port Adelaide.

They’ll fi nish ninth if they win, but as low as 12th if they lose, and while I’m not saying they’d ever tank to be beaten and get better draft picks, it’s

a bit unfair if the other side is allowed to, in effect, sit on the grass and knit a purple scarf while Port is forced to run rings around them as if nothing strange had happened.

I reckon the fair thing to do would be to give Port the same selection latitude that Freo gets.

That gives them a chance to test out some of their fringe players – and may give us a more interesting spectacle.

Now, what an interesting po-sition the Eagles are in. You’d have to say that they will roll over the top of the Saints and secure second spot and a home quarter-fi nal, but is that actu-ally the best thing for them?

They’ll almost certainly play the Hawks then.

Win that, and the world is their oyster.

But lose – and the Hawks are about as far from easyb-eats as you can get – and they

have a danger home game against a team like Richmond or Adelaide, and then have to front up to, probably, a rested Freo in the prelim.

Whereas, if they lose to the Saints and fi nish fourth, they’ll play Freo in the fi rst round with an extra day to recover and no home-ground advantage to either side – and perhaps they’d have a better chance of going straight through to a home preliminary fi nal, more than likely against the Swans.

So if the Eagles suddenly found half their team had come down with a mystery fl u virus and had to miss the Saints game, that might not be the worst thing that’s ever happened.

It’s as hard to work out which is the best path to what would be an incredible Grand Final appearance as it is to get all the same coloured squares on each side of that damn cube!

All talent and no fuss … Michael Barlow.

Cruise controlFremantle midfielder

Michael Barlow is one of the nice guys of football and has been playing football brilliantly since he was plucked out of the VFL at the ripe old age of 23.

He’s always struck me as a thoughtful sort of bloke: no tatts, no weird hairdo, no embarrass-ing dickhead behaviour, no po-lice chases -- just a good honest footballer, fi ghting back after having his leg smashed a few years back in a horrible way and giving every ounce of his being for his team.

I asked Fremantle for an interview with Barlow, but my request was declined.

“Why?” I asked. “Well,” Freo’s media guy said, “he was subbed two weeks ago.”

Sure, I said, but he played well again last week and, in any case, I wasn’t planning to interview him about his form.

“Who made that decision?” I asked.

“Chris Bond [Freo’s football manager],” he replied.

So, no chinwag with Michael – a great shame, because he’s a very special player with quite a story to tell.

He goes about his football like

a good sheepdog. No fuss, no barking, no drama; and while everybody else is faffi ng about, all the sheep get rounded up and deposited in the pen.

How did he do that without us noticing?

How does he always seem to be cruising? He doesn’t look fast – and maybe he isn’t. He just seems to be one of those blokes with an in-built radar, because he always knows how to track the ball.

Or maybe he’s a magnet, and the football just follows him.

Some players just know how to read the play. These special men do not have to learn or be told where to go; they just turn up where the ball happens to be, without any rhyme or reason.

They always have the time, and never hit the panic button.

Barlow is a bit like Guy McKenna and Collingwood’s Scott Pendlebury, who also have that special gift of never appear-ing hurried.

He’ll hate me for saying it, but my great mate from Subiaco FC days and beyond, Wally Martin, was another of those gifted players who seemed to have an in-built computer to calculate where the ball was going next.

West Coast Eagle J-J-J-Josh K-K-K-K-Kennedy has won the Coleman Medal.

Hallelujah.With less emphasis on the

“do I or don’t I?” this season, Kennedy looks a different player when shooting for goal.

In previous seasons, with his stuttering approach, he looked more like a drunken sailor walk-ing the plank.

I actually found the Kennedy shuffl e entertaining, and the Eagles faithful approved of it wholeheartedly as well – and isn’t that what our footy is re-ally all about, entertainment?

These days, our football is a full package of entertainment.

Let’s take the stars of it all – the players – and the various

trends in player appearance on show every weekend.

Like society in general, there’s an ever-increasing number of fashion statements.

Young (and not so young) footballers use their skins as canvases with terrifi c, grotesque or melancholy graffi ti.

It bobs up everywhere, led by the fl ag bearer, the tattoo supremo himself, Dane Swann.

I wonder sometimes where all the ink starts and fi nishes with Swanny. He looks like a map of a Sydney inner-city suburb.

And what about bald heads and beards?

Some of the bearded lads look straight out of an early 1900s Fremantle Derby.

J-J-J-Josh K-K-K-Kennedy would blend into an old side’s

black-and-white photographslike he belonged.

And why, I ask (as I pamperevery remaining hair folliclewith expensive shampoo to tryto keep what’s left from fallingout), do some of our young tyrosshave their heads?

Does it make them run faster?There seems to be an increas-

ing number of our football gladi-ators shaving off their youthfullocks like Gary Ablett junior.

Perhaps it is both a fashionstatement and a tactic to catchthe eye of the umpires whenBrownlow Medal votes are cast:three votes for the bald guy, twofor the chap with red hair, andone for the bloke with the beard.

Maybe J-J-J-Josh will win boththe Coleman and the Brownlow?

That’s real entertainment, folks

Wives and lovers – in the sporting arenaThe hue and cry about WAGS

(wives and girlfriends) being on a cricket tour was a bit of a giggle.

For a couple of weeks after the disastrous Ashes series, the chorus of “leave the WAGS at home” sounded like Johnny Cash’s hit, Don’t Take Your Guns to Town – complete with the same dire consequences.

This probably happens in other sports – women’s and men’s – where sex the night before the big match is taboo.

That admonition went about in my football days, but if the players were listening, very few heard anything.

Though abstinence was recom-mended the Friday night before a big match, my former coach Haydn Bunton had a peculiar take on it, saying Thursday was the night to be avoided.

Maybe I should interview him about why – I never thought to ask him.

To be fair, it’s different for Test cricketers, who are away for months and send text messages every second night promising they love her forever and will make up for everything the sec-ond they get home.

Even home from a tour, they often have time only to say hello to the wife, pat the kids on the

head and get the grass stains of the creams before they’re off to yet another continent to do it all over again.

Even when the Australian team plays at home, it’s constant travel around the country, even immediately after they’ve played.

You have to wonder whether WAGS know what they are get-ting into when they sign on the dotted line to share their lives with a cricketer.

Back in the Bradman era, rumour had it that only the Don was permitted to take his wife on tour.

It might have had something to do with the mountain of runs

he scored, but I believe other factors came into play with him.

I spent 20 years following cricket tours interstate and overseas, and wives were never encouraged along. I know many players – some of the biggest names in cricket – found having their wives around took their minds off the job at hand.

And you didn’t have to be Nostradamus to predict that having some players’ wives there and others’ not split the ranks.

The problem didn’t always re-volve around good old-fashioned nooky.

I can recall Allan Border telling me one morning in

Birmingham that the previous night, he’d investigated a noise outside his hotel room to fi nd his wicketkeeper, Wayne Phillips, walking up and down the cor-ridor comforting his crying daughter.

It was 2am, and Wayne was not out overnight.

AB was having none of it, and in 1989, wives were not allowed on tour until the boys had re-gained the Ashes.

I am not sure if there’s a policy about husbands, boyfriends and lovers, but our women’s side won its Ashes series against the Poms, so maybe the girls could give the boys a few pointers!

Regular reader Ruby Read (7), from Subiaco, is one of our major Doodlebug winners this week.

Her drawing of Ami the Robot is a gorgeous riot of colour. I particularly like the vibrant hair shining in the sunlight. I hope Ruby has a successful career in the robot business because that’s some fancy robot design!

Milla Leach (10), also from Subiaco, has created a funky-looking alien for her winning Doodlebug. I love the fi gures running away in the background. I don’t think he looks too scary. Do you?

We loved all the clever ideas you came up with. Leila’s bush camp site was very inviting and Chloe’s kookaburra was very rowdy. Ned’s giant skull was terrifi c while Natalie’s elephant was quite majestic.

Isabel’s school was surrounded by beautiful gardens and I was glad to see Cypress’s building had plenty of parking spaces. Sophie’s cow was lovely and bright and Kate’s subma-rine was very well done.

Lily’s TV show looked exciting and Preston’s robot was appropriately named Rob.

I hope you have loads of fun this week,

Jane
