Barnett flogs Cotts family jewelsThe state government is

selling its prime waterfront Cottesloe property to help bail it out of fi nancial trouble.

Premier Colin Barnett an-nounced on Wednesday that the historic Deaf School in Curtin Avenue and the McCall Centre facing the beach at south Cottesloe were open to offers from private developers.

Claremont police station is also being offered for sale. All

three sites are in Mr Barnetts electorate.

The government is also selling Princess Margaret Hospital and the Shenton Park Rehabilitation

hospital site.The Deaf Schools maze of

heritage-listed buildings are on 2ha, valued at $70million to $80million at residential prices.

It was opened in 1899 as the live-in West Australian Deaf and Dumb Institution. The word dumb was not dropped from its title until 1956.

The grand cable station building occupies 6300sq.m

in Cottesloe and more land in Mosman Park.

The relay station and tel-egraph cables that snaked into the sea played a vital role in

connecting Australia with the rest of the world until the relay station was closed in 1966.

It is now occupied by the Foster Carers Association and the fostering and adoption services of the Department for Child Protection.

Association director Fay Alford said she had known for several months the group had to move.

A hair dryer that was left run-ning caused the Peppermint Grove house fi re that left a family with a $1.2million damage bill this week.

According to a spokesperson for the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, a hair dryer left turned on caused a fi re in draw-ers on the top fl oor of the Leake Street property.

The spokesperson said the top fl oor had been destroyed by the fi re and the ground fl oor was badly damaged by water.

The home is now uninhabitable, the spokesperson said.

The property belongs to Khaled and Susan Hejleh, who have four children.

Mrs Hejleh said she did not want to comment other than saying that she was glad everyone was OK.

A neighbour said the owners were coping incredibly well.

They are a very resilient fam-ily, he said.

No one was home when the fi re started and the familys two dogs were rescued from the backyard by fi re crews.

Surrounding homes were evacu-ated and resident Ian Baker (81) was rescued from his home by Monogram Caffe owner Emma Devonport.

Ms Devonport said she had stood on a chair in her cafe in the Grove library and seen smoke.

Crushing numbersoppose infill

Cambridge council chamber again erupted in catcalls on Wednesday night when mayor Simon Withers jokingly called the public gallery a monkey cage.

Wait for the monkey cage to quiet down, Mr Withers said during a presentation on con-troversial proposals for higher housing density in City Beach, Floreat and Mt Claremont.

Councillors appear to be hold-ing the line despite a massive 82% of written submissions being against the councils plan.

The 82% fi gure came from an analysis of statutory Form 4

submissions on changes to the town planning scheme, called Amendment 31.

Cambridge development di-rector Ian Bignell told council-lors at a briefi ng on Wednesday night: There was 82% overall objection to the proposal with some conditional support.

The changes in Amendment 31 would allow duplex, triplex and apartment developments on corner blocks and lots of more than 900sq.m.

After the meeting, Mr Withers said the results of another sur-vey, by Catalyse, were more important than the forms.

I knew they would stack the Form 4s, he said.

The survey was only one response per household.

He said everyone in a house could lodge an individual Form 4 submission.

CEO Jason Buckley said recommended changes to the Amendment would be put to a spe-cial council meeting on July 1.

He would not say what they would be, but some would include increasing the size of blocks that would qualify; rul-ing out triplexes and changing setbacks.

Council consultant Charles Johnson had recommended re-advertising all significant changes, Mr Bignell said.

Dont drivers knowwhat stop means?

People driving through the quiet suburbs, please take note: I have just returned home ready for a stiff brandy and a lie down!

Today, Monday, June 22, I was driving along Dumfries Road, approaching the intersection with Ayr Street, in Floreat.

Ayr Street has a stop sign at the intersection with Dumfries Road.

I watched a woman drive her four-wheel-drive straight through the intersection.

I managed to pull up in time to avoid a collision with her vehicle.

Dear young lady, please be aware that stop means just that: all four tyres must come to a complete stop.

It does not mean slow down and, if there are no vehicles around, just drive through the intersection.

I dread that one day there will be a terrible accident.

This intersection is close to Churchlands Primary School, and each afternoon it is hap-pening just too many times.

Police offi cers should cruise past and take note.

Nothing will stopSeaward project

People who attended the Defence Housing Australia information meeting about the Seaward Village development in Swanbourne recently received an email from James Wallace, the DHAs regional manager of development, thanking them for doing so.

It is evident to me from this email that the DHA project will be going ahead regardless of alternative views.

An invitation to another event at the end of the year, providing another opportunity for you to see the progress of the development means that whatever we think, this is going ahead.

The DHA has had this on its agenda for at least six years.

It is too late now to start suggesting that the DHA is seriously interested in considering any contributions from the community.

This is a blatant money making exercise poorly disguised as improved housing for service families.

Pejorative and incorrect statements to Parliament by the DHA prove that the exer-cise has been directed at manufacturing an argument.

I do not need to be briefed by a further media relations exercise when it is clear we are about to have our quality of life irrevers-ibly changed at our expense.

We worked for years to saveand improve Allen Park bush

The proposed development at Seaward Village, Swanbourne, by Defence Housing Australia (DHA) is a threat to the community values built up over the past two decades.

This community includes Seaward residents and those of surrounding streets and suburbs who all use Allen Park and the bush.

We have been fortunate to be part of a community that values preserving the remaining bush and which has invested thousands of volunteer hours into protecting and upgrading it.

Twenty years ago, this bush was deteriorating towards a wasteland, overtaken by weeds and returning to sand dunes.

Hard work and perseverance have turned the area into an en-vironment where wild plants and birds proliferate.

The bush provides a corridor through to Bold Park and be-yond.

This effort by everyone involved

has made us aware of the value of investing in the community and the need to protect and nurture the environment we have built together.

It was therefore with dismay and a feeling of utter powerlessness that we learnt in April that DHA was to redevelop Seaward Village without adequate community con-sultation and with scant regard for the values we have built up.

The way it has gone about this suggests it anticipated opposition and opted for a course of action that would effectively deliver a fait accompli.

In the limited communication from DHA, including the farci-cal communication session on June 10, the only focus has been on the Seaward Village residents and what DHA deems is best for them.

The fact that most of those residents share our values and do not support the DHA project only adds to the distress of this sad venture.

Throughout this process, DHA has acted in a high-handed and arrogant way, in my opinion.

No wonder our community is deeply opposed to this develop-ment.

Austin makes it a complete read

For years, I thought the POST lacked a sports section.

It is therefore wonderful this has been remedied with Austin Robertsons column.

His piece a few weeks back on the late Geoff Christian struck the right note of sincere respect and personal knowledge of that truly great sports writer.

Similarly, Austins column about the Hall of Fame night and his worthy inclusion in it was modest, chatty and revealing.

Long may it continue.Frank Wright

POST, June 27, 2015 Page 3

A Subiaco councillor called for an audit of a sporting groups lease of a council-owned pavilion including 13 years non-payment of rent.

At Tuesday nights Subiaco council meeting, South ward councillor Hugh Richardson called for council offi cers to look into the Rosalie Sporting Associations lease of the Rosalie Park pavilion.

He said there were four rea-sons for an investigation.

T h e R o s a l i e S p o r t i n g Association (RSA) had not paid rent according to its lease since

2002, and apparent breaches of the old lease had not been resolved, he said.

There were also concerns that the RSA had not complied with its constitution and various registration authorities, and about its ability to meet its ob-ligations, Mr Richardson told the meeting.

He told the council his call for an investigation was related to past matters of governance by Subiaco council, and the RSAs compliance, and trying to fi x those issues and avoid future problems.

Mr Richardson said no chang-es to the lease had been brought to the council, and that a signed

copy of the lease between the council and RSA in 1991 was the only legal contract.

It defi nes rent that I estimate between $30,000 and $50,000 since 2002, Mr Richardson said.

By comparison, the rent on the west pavilion, which is roughly the same size, was $2840 per annum, in 2010, which made my estimate about $40,000.

However, a lease where the tenant has not paid rent, or made provision, is void.

The lease expired in Decem-ber 2012 and was not renewed.

In good faith since then, the city has allowed permissive possession under the terms of the old lease.

When a new lease was pro-posed to be signed earlier this year, Mr Richardson said, the proposed parties to it were Subiaco Association Football (soccer) Club, Touch Football,

Call for audit of Rosalie leaseBy LLOYD GORMAN

A 15-year-old babysitter crossed Mosman Parks Samson Street not long before police shot a man there on Tuesday night.

She had been babysitting for Wesley Davies, a Mosman Park councillor who had been at a council meeting and lives next to the house where the hostages were held.

Five people in a house in the centre of the street were alleg-edly taken hostage by 26-year-old Daniel Ashley.

They were unharmed but traumatised after their feet and hands were cable-tied and their mouths taped over.

Police learnt of the drama at 9.14pm when a hostage managed to call 000.

The babysitters mother and father, MLC junior years dean Mike Brown, saw and heard the drama unfold from their son Alexs bedroom.

It was a bit surreal, Mr Brown said.

At 9.30 our dog was restless

we thought it was just noise.We went to bed and about 10

past 11 there was a big bang. I jumped up straight away.

I thought kids had set fi re-crackers off.

Mr Brown looked out his kitchen door and saw Tactical Response Group offi cers running in armoured vests.

We went to Alexs room and watched it unfold, he said.

About 20 police shouted di-rections, an ambulance drove into the Browns driveway and offi cers pulled a body across the their front lawn.

By 11.25 he was in the ambu-lance and everything had calmed down, Mr Brown said.

But police told the family to put on warm clothes and head to the nearby IGA after they became concerned about two suspicious packages in the home.

The Browns returned to their home at 2.30am.

It would seem the police did everything they could, Mr Brown said.

Two years after the POST fi rst reported a charging sta-tion for electric vehicles hd been installed at a Subiaco carpark there is now evi-dence it is being used.

A pint-size Mitsubishi which has a limited range on a single charge was seen plugged into the unit at Rowland Street carpark on Monday.

It is the fi rst time we have seen a car using the charg-er, which was installed in late 2013 as a collaboration between UWA and Subiaco council (Rev heads get charged up in Subi, POST, 30/11/13).

Earlier this week it was announced that a network of 12 charging stations for electric vehicles would be introduced between Perth and the Margaret River region more than 300km away Australias first electric highway to make longer trips possible.

Proof that Subiacos charging station is being used.

Veteran political reporter Peter Kennedy will speak at the Liberal Partys Curtin Division council meeting next week.

A POST reporter was advised to attend. Could be some trade secrets for an

The event is on Thursday, July 2, at the Cambridge Bowling Club in Floreat.

Peter started in journal-ism in 1970, and met and interviewed WAs past 11

premiers.He was press secretary

to deputy Labor premier Malcolm Bryce and after retiring from the ABC wrote Tales from Boomtown: Western Australias Premiers from Brand to Barnett.

Irish students in balcony collapse remembered

The Flame of Remembrance in Kings Park became the gathering point for a candle-lit vigil this week.

A group of young Irish people met at the war me-morial to remember the six Irish students who had died in California when a balcony collapsed on June 16.

About 20 people turned out for the night vigil.

A mass for the victims will be held at 6pm in St Josephs Catholic Church, Salvado Road, Subiaco, on Sunday, June 28.

Claremont doctor pays tax scammers $100,000A retired Claremont doc-

tor has been fl eeced out of more than $100,000 by over-seas phone scammers.

They were like a dog with a bone, the man said.

The scammers threat-ened him with fi ve years jail, fi nes and stripping his children of their pro-fessional qualifi cations.He said the ordeal began on a Friday three weeks ago when a message left on his phone said: You must ring the Australian Tax Offi ce. You have been evading tax. That is a very serious matter you are likely to be jailed.

The man said he called back on Monday, after checking the number left with the ATOs White Pages listing.

I got straight through and spoke to a person who said he was waiting for my call, the man said.

He took me in for the next three weeks.

The man said the scammer had a foreign ac-cent and he had initially been reluctant to take him seriously.

But the spectre of jail time was continually mentioned.

He kept throwing that back at me time after time, the man said.

The victim eventually deposited $7000, but the scammers kept asking

for more.Some days they would

call fi rst thing and ask him if his mobile phone was fully charged.

I knew that meant I was going to be involved all day, he said.

The scammers told him to send deposit receipt copies to a Bob Cooper at a Melbourne address

but they were returned because there was no one with that name at the address.

Last Friday he was told no more payments were required.

But at 7.45am on Monday they rang again, the man said.

They said, Weve checked again, there are more mistakes, this time you owe us $32,000.

I said, Im not paying any more, you said it was over.

When the scammers came back with a $15,000 amount owed, the man fi nally realised it was a scam.

That was the end. I decided it was a fudge and hung up, he said.

He called a friend later on Monday who had been an accountant, and then called Cottesloe police on Tuesday morning.

The man had made

about 20 payments to the scammers.

They are very skilled indeed, he said.

I dont expect to see any of the money again.

His phone rang about a dozen times on Tuesday but he did not answer it.

Sergeant Neil Morton-Smith at Cottesloe police said if people had been

called by scammers but not sent money, they should call Consumer Protection on 1300 304054.

If they have sent money, report it to us as soon as possible, Sergeant Morton-Smith said.

If it has just been transferred, sometimes the bank can stop it, but the bank often needs a police incident report number.

Acting Commissioner for Consumer Protection David Hillyard said WA ScamNet had received 300 calls about ATO scams last month.

Thats a big jump compared to a total of 145 calls for the four months January to April 2015, Mr Hillyard said.

Consumer Protection is concerned the threat-ening nature of the ATO scam calls is intimidating many in our community, including seniors.

University of WA postgradu-ates say world-class research students are living below the poverty line due to scholarship funding cuts.

This week research students lined up for free soup organised by UWA Cuts Hurt a campaign run by postgraduate students to highlight the impact of recent scholarship cuts.

Last year UWAs scholarships committee voted to phase out top-up scholarships, which were originally created in recogni-tion of the fi nancial struggles faced by higher-degree research students.

This year the university an-nounced it was also likely to cut completion scholarships, which potentially allow an extra six months funding to students to complete their scholarships.

UWA Cuts Hurt campaign coordinator Peter Derbyshire said the top-up scholarships had provided students with an extra $60 a week.

When you are staring into a cupboard at your last packet of powdered soup and pay day is two days away, or calling your parents to transfer you $20 just to afford a train ticket home, you would give anything for that $60, he said.

Despite priding itself as being WAs only research-inten-sive university, UWA has made devastating cuts to postgraduate research student funding.

Just under 20% of all UWA research publications are done by research students.

Mr Derbyshire said the free soup had been fi nanced through crowd funding.

He said the universitys ex-pensive Pursue Impossible mar-keting campaign had angered postgraduate students who were stretched by funding cuts.

We found the whole thing pretty odd, he said.

They held this big event to launch the Pursue Impossible campaign and invited students, but hardly anyone showed up.

The TV ad is pretty ridicu-lous unless youre selling sneakers.

Free soup for poor students

Impossible campaign slammedThe $860,000 cost of the

University of WAs controver-sial re-branding could have paid for the full tuition of 28 undergraduate commerce students.

Documents obtained by the POST via Freedom of Information reveal UWA has paid The Brand Agency $868,244.42 for the re-brand so far, which included creating the universitys new motto Pursue Impossible which has been criticised by POST readers.

The documents do not show whether this amount is the extent of payments made to The Brand Agency or whether payments are ongoing.

The re-brand also included a 60-second television advertise-ment produced by The Penguin Empire, which features a young woman running through various overseas landscapes.

The TV advertisement cost $437,852 to make, including $41,666 on travel and accommo-dation expenses for the actress and crew.

The Pursue Impossible cam-paign, which was launched on May 5, has also been ridiculed by UWA staff and students.

Mathematics professor Gordon Royle, who has worked at UWA for 25 years, was surprised by the universitys choice of slogan.

He said when his nine-year-old daughter saw the Pursue Impossible motto on campus walls she said to him: It doesnt make any sense and its not even proper English.

Shes right of course what on earth does it mean? Professor Royle said.

Pursue the impossible? Pursue impossible dreams?

And why are the campus walls decorated with this un-

grammatical imperative?Professor Royle said he sym-

pathised with the universitys need to market itself and spend money in the process.

Im just not convinced this is the right message for UWA to be sending, he said.

Im surprised the vice-chan-cellor bought the product.

Professor Royle said the slo-gan was the real killer but that would not have made up much of the overall re-brand cost.

They [UWA] are stuck with [Pursue Impossible] now but they can still try to minimise it, he said.

Last week the POST published a letter from West Leederville resident Eric Lawson, who said he had taken an interest in the university for more than 60 years.

Mr Lawson said literate peo-ple thought the new motto was nonsense.

It will be meaningless to the overseas students management wants to attract, he said.

The new motto is accom-panied by an expensive and slightly ridiculous advertising campaign created by the market-

ing gurus who seek to refresh the unfortunate university.

The Pursue Impossible slogan is used in UWAs marketing but has not replaced the Seek Wisdom motto on its crest.

In an online video promoting the Pursue Impossible cam-paign, UWA vice-chancellor Professor Paul Johnson said the university had to believe that the impossible is possible.

Thats a way in which we really begin to focus our efforts on changing things, Professor Johnson said.

Pursue impossible be restless.

Dont be satisfi ed with what youre doing, what youre achiev-ing, where youve got to.

Set some goals. Set them so that you have to work hard. They dont seem attainable today.

We should always be a little bit dissatisfi ed with the society in which we live, because we know that we can achieve the impossible together here at UWA.

After a life-threatening coma caused by diabetes when she was younger, Jolimont resident Erica Smyth heads up the fi ght against the disease.

POST

PEOPLE

Lucky to be alive and ready for breakthroughsJolimont woman Erica

Smyth was working in explora-tion in the Pilbara more than four decades ago when she discovered something that almost killed her.

I was a geologist in Newman at the age of 22 when my world turned upside down.

I suddenly felt tired and thirsty and before long slipped into a coma, she said. I had to be fl own back to Perth by the Royal Flying Doctor Service and was lucky to survive.

She was found to have type 1 diabetes.

In the early days of my diagnosis, managing diabetes was pretty rough I was using glass syringes that had to be boiled up once a week, testing my sugar levels had to be done through urine and the insulin at that stage was pig and beef insulin.

Medical research has made an enormous difference already were now using insulin pens and pumps, and cloned human insulins that better reflect our personal needs, and we

ecan easily test blood glucose levels.

Based on her experience, Erica who studied science at UWA became chairwoman of Diabetes Research WA, a charity that has been funding research into the disease since 1976.

Our understanding of diabe-tes-related diseases themselves has also changed dramatically, she said.

We now know, through work undertaken by Professor Grant Morahans team at the WA Centre for Diabetes Research, that type 1 diabetes can be genetically divided into six different groups and type 2 into three.

But a lot more work needed to be done to fi ght the disease, Erica said.

Along with these advances, were also seeing a tsunami of new people developing diabetes, and with no new changes more people will develop diabetes than ever before, she said.

So, although we have much better ways of treating it, the overall impact on the health budget may soon overwhelm us.

The value of researching new ways to understand, man-age and treat the complications and social attitudes of the peo-ple who may develop or are already living with diabetes is therefore becomin even more important.

Diabetes Research WA was on the brink of making several breakthroughs and needed com-munity support to carry out the work, she said.

National Diabetes Week starts on July 12.

Public will have input on SAS barrack planPublic hearings will be held

into the $223.6million plan to rebuild Campbell Barracks in Swanbourne.

The barracks are the base for the Special Air Service Regiment, which has more than doubled in size from about 300 personnel to about 700.

Many of the buildings are more than 50 years old and the layout does not work, the Department of Defence has told a public works committee that will scrutinise the plan.

The redevelopment project seeks to address problems associated with ageing and obsolete working accommoda-tion, a dysfunctional layout, inadequate storage and poor infrastructure, department staff said.

Upgrading communications and a new secure entry are in the plan, which also includes building and refurbishing stor-age buildings, repairing roads, electrical, sewerage, water and gas systems.

The work is expected to take two years from next year.

Senator Dean Smith, who chairs the standing committee on public works, said he would hold both open and confi dential hearings in Perth in August.

The redevelopment of the barracks is separate from a Defence Housing Australia plan to sell off 25% of the land in the neighbouring army village.

Nedlands council set up a group including two residents to keep an eye on that develop-ment.

Simpson misled ParliamentLocal Government Minister

Tony Simpson was accused of deliberately misleading Parliament last week in a debate about Subiaco and the City of Perth Bill.

As part of the proposed legislation, Subiaco stands to lose about 3000 residents and its South ward to the City of Perth in a boundary change that would move UWA and QEII Medical Centre into the capital city area.

Opposition local govern-

m e n t s p o k e s m a n D a v i d Templeman tackled Mr Simpson in the Legislative Assembly last Thursday over a statement he had made to the house on Thursday, May 21.

Mr Simpson is recorded in Hansard as saying: Members should keep in mind that the government is working with the City of Subiaco on transitional arrangements for affected rate-payers in the area known as the Crawley fi nger.

This assertion was challenged by Subiaco mayor Heather Henderson shortly afterwards

(Subi denies Simpson claim, POST, May 30), who said there had been no contact after an initial meeting in March.

Why has the mayor of Subiaco, Heather Henderson, said that there has not been any negotiation with the Minister or his offi ce regarding the Crawley fi nger? asked Mr Templeman, Mandurah MP.

Why is the Minister blatantly misleading Parliament about conversations and negotiations he is having, whereas the other party fl atly refutes this has ever happened?

Mr Simpson said the Bill contained transitional arrange-ments for Subiaco council.

With regard to meeting with the City of Subiaco, my depart-ment has made many inquiries to meet with the mayor and CEO, Mr Simpson said.

We are yet to get a response back, but we did have an initial meeting through the process of bringing the Bill together.

So we have engaged with them at the start.

Stress, lung plea fail breath test Aldi wants me out:

newsagentBy LINDA CALLAGHAN

Nedlands shopkeeper Kevin Turner says he is facing a 56% rent increase and fears a big supermarket company is trying to force him out of business.

German-owned Aldi bought the Captain Stirling shopping centre for $9.7million at the beginning of the year from the estate of the previous owner, David Campbell.

At the time a spokeswoman said the company would not force businesses off the site and would honour their leases.

Mr Turner has run the newsa-gency at the Captain Stirling shopping centre, off Stirling Highway, for eight years.

Now he says the three-yearly rent review is unfair.

I will have to generate $100,000 extra, he said.

I think this is unconscion-able behaviour. The price of everything I sell is fi xed. I cannot increase the price of a magazine.

The only thing where there is any fl exibility is stationery and that is a very small percentage of the business.

[Aldi] want this place bull-dozed.

Mr Turner said he had talked to other shopkeepers who were reeling at the increases they were facing.

The retail market is down, he said.

He said the previous owner had been fair.

He would get an independent assessment and if he thought that

A Floreat resident and former lawyer, has lost her court ar-gument that a lung condition and stress meant she could not provide breath samples for drink-driving tests.

Lynette Quinlivan (56) was fi ned $6000 and lost her driv-ers licence for 45 months on Thursday after she was found guilty of two counts of failing to provide samples for a breath analysis test and one count of failing to provide a sample for a preliminary test.

Ms Quinlivan was also con-victed of driving contrary to an extraordinary licence, having no authority to drive and obstruct-ing police.

She admitted leaving the scene after being stopped by police in Mt Claremont, walking through a local pharmacy, leaving by the back door and hiding at the top of a stairway.

She was stopped on consecu-tive days in her silver Saab convertible a year ago, and

on each occasion did not blow enough air into breathalysers to analyse her breath.

Magistrate Michelle Ridley said there was no medical evi-dence Ms Quinlivan had a lung condition, and the evidence she gave was inconsistent.

Her answers varied ... the accused changed and embel-lished her evidence the longer she was on the witness stand, Ms Ridley said.

Ms Ridley said a video of Ms Quinlivan taken at Wembley police station on June 26 last year showed her not attempting to provide a sample.

It is clear from the video little or no effort is made to complete the test, Ms Ridley said.

Ms Quinlivan testified she had bronchitis and her lungs had been affected long-term by a severe bout of fl u which required her to stay in hospital in 2008.

This, combined with stress caused by her fear of harass-

ment by a local police offi cer, had meant she could not com-plete the breath test, she said in her evidence.

The court heard Ms Quinlivan had participated in a masters swimming championship in 2012. Her relay team won a gold medal.

Ms Ridley did not accept the arguments.

You externalise blame for everything, she told Ms Quinlivan.

It is always the polices fault.

What you have done has caused police attention on you.

You need to have some self-refl ection on your behaviour, otherwise you may well be back before the court.

Ms Quinlivan did not agree.You have not really under-

stood the signifi cant amount of stress and pressure I was under, she said.

Annual laneway pruning and weed controlWeed control

Weeds on footpaths, trafc islands, kerbs and laneways are controlled during this time of the year using the chemical Glyphosate Biactive. Glyphosate BiActive is a non-volatile soluble liquid product with non-selective herbicidal activity against weeds and grasses. Glyphosate Biactive is effectively neutralised on contact with the soil and does not provide long term weed control.

Annual laneway pruning

The annual laneway pruning program will commence in July. The city will prune or remove vegetation that is: growing within the laneway overhanging into the laneway:

at fence lines, a clearance of one metre above ground level up to 4.2 metres above ground level, a clearance of 200

millimetres out from the fence lines vegetation that is higher than 4.2 metres above the ground

will be pruned to remove deadwood, as required.

To exempt your property from the weed control or pruning process, please advise the city in writing by Friday 10 July by lling out and sending in the slip below addressed to City of Subiaco, PO Box 270, Subiaco WA 6904. Alternatively, send an email to [email protected] with your address, contact details and requested exemption. If you have previously requested for your property to be exempt from the chemical weed control and laneway pruning process it is not necessary to notify the city.

Can PLC pull it off again this year?Presbyterian Ladies College

is red-hot favourite for this weekends Head of the River race, says the Methodist Ladies College coach.

PLC are very strong with about 130 rowers weve got 85, Simon Cox said.

Were growing, but this is the youngest crew weve ever had.

On Saturday, MLC will defend its title with two Year 12 girls, four Year 11s, and two Year 10s in its eight.

The drama of last years race is still fresh in the minds of both schools.

Simon was cycling parallel with the crews and saw his girls win by about 20cm, but a rumour PLC had won spread swiftly on the opposite bank.

PLC started to celebrate, we were devastated then it changed, Simon said.

Can MLC do it again?Weve been improving all the

time ... yeah, Simon said.I think well need a bit of luck

on our side.A race is a race you turn up

and go as fast as you can.MLCs fi rst eight was chosen

several weeks ago and intense training stopped last week.

On Tuesday afternoon girls limbered up, then rowed 1000m at 28 strokes a minute before resting.

Head rowing girl Anika Hannington is one of the students who has been getting up at 4.10am and getting a bus from MLC to the schools boats at Canning Bridge, in Aquinass shed.

I think if we all try our best

well do ourselves proud, no matter what, Anika said.

She said last years win was amazing.

There was a moment when the whole crowd was quiet then everyone went crazy,

she said.Anika said Year 10 girls

like Liv Jones and Angie Humphries meant MLC had a strong future.

There is a lot of talent in the Year 10s at the mo-ment, Anika said.

They are all such ath-

letes and are pulling up the whole shed.

Ellie Lammers-Lewis is PLCs captain of boats. The Year 12 girl is proud of her team and school.

Were a rowing army, she said.

Its not just about the fi rst eight we all strive to be opti-mal rowers.

It contributes to our success as a shed.

Ellie played volleyball in her native Texas before she started at PLC in Year 8.

I played volleyball here, but rowing is something you get used to, she said.

Youre pushing your body and you become close as a team.

Youre constantly trying to make the boat go faster with seven other people.

Ellie said she had been train-ing about eight hours a week and was used to exerting her body at 5am.

You get used to it, she said. Its a healthy routine.

Youre with a good network of friends.

Ellie will be in the stroke seat, facing the cox, on Saturday.

The stroke sets the rhythm and style of rowing, she said.

The middle four are the pow-erhouse and the two in the bow are technical rowers.

There are a lot of dynamics that happen in the boat, Ellie said.

Ellie said this years fi rst eight would carry on the intensity of last years.

Last year was one of the most exciting races, she said. This year we defi nitely have a good chance.

At PLC 38 seniors tried out for the fi rst eight this year.

Ellie said it wasnt all about being the best rower.

In Year 9 I wasnt the perfect rower, she said.

What is great about the sport is you have time to learn and grow with your coaches.

Its about teaching collabo-ratively and everyone melding together.

When you have a happy shed, people row better together.

I hope everyone can have a good Head of the River experi-ence.

By DAVID COHEN

Womens shed PLC principal Beth Blackwood and some of her students, with the new rowing boat named for her.

Polluted water has meant a late change of venue for this week-ends Head of the River race.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Independent Girls Schools Sports Association was told by VenuesWest that Canning River would host the event.

IGSSAs Louise Carson said: The water readings [at Champion Lakes

in Armadale] were deemed to be too high by the Health Department, and it wont allow any activity on water.

The department said even if the water was retested today, re-sults wouldnt be available until Saturday.

The Town, in conjunction with the Lions Club of Floreat, has recently completed an upgrade of the Cambridge Heritage Trail.

First opened on 26 January 2001, to celebrate the Federation of Australia, the trail identifies key locations of historical significance in West Leederville, Wembley, Floreat and City Beach.

Interpretive signs erected at 23 sites along the trail provide an interesting insight into the people, events and places of a bygone era.

Over time, due to weather, bore water, graffiti and vandalism, many of the signs deteriorated and were in poor condition, prompting the Town and Lions Club of Floreat to embark on an upgrade of the Heritage Trail, each contributing $20,000 to the project.

The Cambridge Heritage Trail recently received an upgrade

of its 17 panels and has extended it to include six new sites:

Leederville Town Hall, Cenotaph and Recreation Area Holyrood Street Skyline Drive-In The Boulevard Wembley Golf Course Empire Games Village

Enjoy a stroll along the Cambridge Heritage Trail as it meanders past historic sites within the Town, and marvel at the buildings and locations that reflect the history and development of the area.

Lighting up City Beach OvalThe West Coast Sporting Association held a successful community event on Friday, 19 June 2015, showcasing the new lights at City Beach Oval.

The fun filled event included a bouncy castle, face painting, sausage sizzle and several games of football played under the new lights.

The $200,000 project was jointly funded by the Department of Sport and Recreation, the Town of Cambridge, the West Coast Sporting Association (WCSA) and the Football Commission WA.

The new lights will allow WCSA and its five local sporting clubs, to train at night and was crucial in launching the new West Coast Junior Cricket Club.

The new lights are already proving a valuable addition, with the WAAFL State Under 23s team training on Wednesdays, and the WA Football Commission looking to establish a year-round AFL9s competition at City Beach Oval.


Kylie and the spirits are callingSpirit lovers across Australia

are singing the praises of a west-ern suburb still called Kylie, which is producing Perths fi rst organic vodka.

The steam-driven, handcrafted 450-litre copper still is named after singer Kylie Minogue because, according to its part owner, Jason Markwart, it is small, sings in tune and is very pretty.

The still is in the Hippocampus Metropolitan Distillery, inside a former stonemasons workshop in Gordon Street, West Perth, which has just been granted a tavern licence.

This means that when the dis-tillery opens in about two months, customers will be able not only to see how the spirits are made but also to taste and buy them.

Without a tavern licence, Jason could allow customers to taste only 15ml samples.

This will allow us to showcase our product, he said.

Hippocampus vodka is now sold in selected liquor stores across Perth and in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Kylie arrived in pieces inside a sea container from Germany 12 months ago without any instruc-tions on how to assemble her.

We were emailed 35 photo-graphs of the still set up in the German workshop and they were our instructions on how to put it together, Jason said.

So we passed our fi rst hurdle in April 2014, started the com-missioning process and took about eight months to get the

recipe right.The vodka is made from organic

wheat grown in Dumbleyung. The milled grain is shipped to their microbrewery in Welshpool, where distiller Alex Poulsen ferments it into wheat beer for shipping to West Perth.

Every good story involves a ute, and weve got one to bring the wash here to create a vodka that is rich and fl avoursome and embraces the character and fl avours of the wheat, Jason said.

It is not like a commercial vodka this has a lot of fl avour and is quite rich.

The spirit is distilled twice and not fi ltered, so it retains the wheat fl avour. Only the middle section of the spirit is used.

The quality changes enor-

mously as the spirit is produced, Jason said.

The fi rst bit that comes out is the heads, then we get the heart run the middle part of the run where the beautiful spirit comes through then it tails off with water and other impurities.

By only taking the heart of it, we get a better spirit.

The result is a vanilla and fruit forward-fl avoured vodka, with a smooth mouth feel.

We have crafted a clean, rich and textured vodka, which sets us apart from the more familiar neutral vodkas in the market, Alex said.

Will Subi Centro ever be finished? Government funding to

complete Subi Centro has all but dried up, according to state budget fi gures.

Over the current finan-cial year, the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) has had $1,023,000 to spend on the area, budget fi gures show.

But for the next fi nancial year,

that will plunge to $186,000.This is listed to increase

slightly to $248,000 in the for-ward estimates for the 2016-17 fi nancial year, but no more money has been allocated for the two years after that.

The MRA gives 2019 as the fi nishing date for the Subi Centro project.

In its 2013-14 annual report,

the MRA claimed to have trans-formed more than 86% of the more than 80ha of Subiacos former light industrial and railway land into new homes, shops, offi ces and recreation areas.

According to the budget fi g-ures, the MRA has spent just over $64million on redevelop-ment works in Subiaco.

Let truth triumphGoodness me. I have put my foot in a can of

worms or a hornets nest. Perhaps both.Matthew DSouza and Hayden Strzina

(Letters, POST, June 20) both replied to my letter in which I disputed my diagnosis of homophobia.

I will state my case more simply: I dont care what people of any gender do in bed.

However, I recognise the fact that some ac-tivities are more microbiologically hazardous than others. Its in recognising this fact that I am diagnosed with homophobia. I dispute that diagnosis.

Both correspondents seemed offended by my position.

Being offensive is now considered the worst of sins; worse than the traditional sins of murder, robbery and adultery.

Being inoffensive is the basis of political correctness. The thread running through all forms of political correction is inoffensive-ness. Dont rock the boat.

Society has established certain truths; cer-tain forms of behaviour; certain things that, for the sake of politeness, you can or cannot say at a dinner party.

If theres a fundamental rule, it is this: when theres a confl ict between tact and truth, go for tact.

Well, stuff tact I say. Go for truth. Gavan OConnor

Cambridge should work with its talented residents

It has been disappointing, in the least, to witness the behav-iour of Cambridge councillors and mayor Simon Withers dur-ing the course of this density debate.

Cambridge had an opportunity to engage with ratepayers, utilise their considerable expertise and together develop a robust plan to achieve density requirements while also addressing issues of diversity and affordability.

Instead, Mr Withers has cho-sen to call names and attack those he supposedly represents, which has done signifi cant dam-age to the community and the entire debate around how to approach density infi ll in our suburbs.

To randomly spread 3000 new dwellings throughout the two suburbs is archaic in its thinking.

It is now generally accepted by planning experts worldwide that density should be placed very specifi cially along major traffi c corridors and around activity centres.

Three thousand new dwellings could easily equate to 10,000 people.

Placing these dwellings around existing infrastructure

makes sense: it makes existing public transport more effi cient and it is easier to provide suit-ably placed accommodation to cater for both diversity and affordability.

Cambridge residents are now engaged and educated, why is the council not working with them to come up with a plan that actually works for our town and our city?

Friendly toast toOpen Gardens

Gardeners from the city and country districts gathered at the Grove library on Sunday to toast the friendships formed during the era of Australias Open Garden Scheme.

Gardeners from as far afi eld as Kojonup, Beverley, Dwellingup and Quairading spoke of their recollections of open days and the great benefi ts the events brought to local communities.

Local committee members urged gardeners to continue opening their gardens to share their knowledge and pleasure of gardening.

A delicious morning tea helped the memories fl ow.

Thank you to the organisers good news events are all too rare.

That break is Isolated, not IsolatorsI refer to the surf spot at south

Cottesloe, which is now being called Isolators.

My friends and I began surfi ng this location about 1965, and many of us did so for the next 20 years, several times a week.

In those early years, The Cove was our favourite break, as well as the nearby left-hander, Seconds.

Gradually, however, we moved further south to a more isolated spot, which was called, natu-rally, Isolated.

The numbers surfi ng there gradually built up, and some clubs started holding surf con-tests there.

The place eventually became busier than The Cove, because it was a larger space and could accommodate more surfers at the one time.

The word Isolators makes no sense, and I have no idea where it has come from.

Isolated is the original and correct name for the place.

I am supported in this view by WA surf industry legend Len Dibben: surfi ngdownsouth.com.au/tag/isolated.

Isolated is an important place in the history of the development of surfi ng in Perth and WA.

Last year, I wrote to Cottesloe council suggesting it change the

spelling on the sign at the site, but unfortunately I received no response.

Chris AntillRobinson Street, Nedlands

Chriss letter has sent the POSTs surfi ng writer, Damian Lipscombe, back in time to when he was just a grommet:Cove carpark was a place we would enjoy fi sh and chips as a family in our car on special occasions, Freo was a world away, and Isolated, I thought, described the surfer we could see out there surfi ng it alone (perhaps Cameron Bedford-Brown or Reid Oliver?).Overlook my dreaming, I recall it as Isolated!

Reader Chris Antill says this sign should read Isolated, the correct name for the surf break south of Cottesloe.

Isnt it time we sawthe whole woman?

Your body, heart and mind are interconnected. We believe it is time womens health services

were too. To ensure your total wellbeing, the

WOMEN Centre has a team of expert health

professionals: a Womens Health GP, Menopause

Specialist, Obstetrician and Gynaecologists,

Gynaecologic Oncologist, General Surgeon,

Physician in Infection Management, Chronic

Pain Specialist, Physiotherapist, Psychologist,

Sexologist, Genetic Counsellor, Midwives and

Clinical and Research Nurses.

This integrated approach allows

us to provide seamless care; you

are treated as a whole person, not

just a disease or a condition. The

difference this can make to your

quality of life is profound.

Take for example a case like Angelina Jolies.

While she has bravely gone public about

having both her ovaries removed after a double

mastectomy, to reduce her risk of ovarian

cancer, little mention has been made about the

effects this surgery can have on her libido and

relationship; what it means for her biological

daughters; or how it will impact her self-identity.

Our holistic care model would support her

through all these issues. Prior to surgery, she

would have met with our Menopause Specialist

to ensure she knew exactly what to expect

physically and emotionally. Wed broach the

seemingly taboo subject of sexual dysfunction

and intimacy, and help her and her partner

through it. Our Physiotherapist would help

her strengthen her body pre and post surgery

with pelvic oor exercises. When operating, if

appropriate, our Gynaecological Oncologist

would use minimally invasive or robotic surgery to

help speed recovery. If post-surgery issues arose,

our Physician in Infection Management would

swiftly deal with them and co-ordinate a hospital

in the Home Programme if needed. Longer term,

our Menopause Specialist would monitor her well-

being and ensure constancy and completeness of

care. Wed even help her daughters be pro-active

about their health, with genetic counselling

and screening.

Of course, all you may need from

us is a Pap Test every two years. Thats ne. However, isnt it reassuring to know

that if you need more support, the team is ready?

WOMEN stands for Western Australia Oncology,

Menopause, Endometriosis and New mothers.

It is our privilege to be able to care for you through

all stages of your life. Whatever you come

to see us for, our integrated approach

ensures you will always receive the

best care and outcomes possible.

Money fires up the CFD A revitalised Councils for

Democracy group was due to meet on Friday to plan how to get the Barnett government to reimburse it for money spent during the failed coun-cil cull.

The member councils were disappointed by the WA Local Government Associations (WALGA) failure to get the money and are questioning their ongoing membership.

On Tuesday night, Mosman Park mayor Ron Norris told his council it had failed to get back the $150,000 it had spent on consultants.

He said WALGA had advised it did not meet the govern-ments criteria for a refund because it was not subject to the Governors order on mergers.

When the Premier raised the white fl ag in February this year, he said councils would not be reimbursed for any expenditure, Mr Norris said after the meeting.

WALGA convened a meet-ing of the 30 metropolitan councils and it was agreed that, despite the comments of the Premier, claims for reimburse-ment should be made.

I dont know which coun-cils wished to claim but it was agreed that all councils seeking to be reimbursed would submit their claims to WALGA, which would submit them to Department of Local Government.

Mr Norris said WALGA had told him on May 6 that the council fell outside the guidelines.

Since the City of Riversea

proposal was rejected by the Minister, our claim was excluded from the submis-sion to the department, Mr Norris said.

I immediately wrote to [WALGA CEO] Ricky Burges asking why we should remain a member of WALGA when it did not defend the interests of members in this matter.

Mr Norris said he had met Ms Burges earlier this month but had not received a re-sponse.

Several Councils for Demo-cracy members contacted me two weeks ago and requested a meeting, he said.

He said the main topic of Fridays meeting was the pro-posed City of Perth legislation, but he would raise the subject of reimbursement.

Firefi ghters check the roof of the club for fl ue damage. They smashed basement windows to expel toxic fumes.

Blaze hits Sea View Golf Club

A fi re has put Sea View Golf Clubs res-taurant and bar out of action for at least a week.

Flames broke out in a basement janitors room at the Cottesloe club last Friday and caused damage valued at about $50,000.

Firefi ghters got the call at 7.12am and had the blaze out 21 minutes later.

Club pro Dennis Rosenwald said the golf course and pro shop had not been af-fected.

The restaurant and bar will be closed until at least the end of the week, he said.

It took out a few power sources and lines.

Stock in the pro shop was unaffected. The main damage was caused by smoke to the clubhouse.

The cause was in a janitors room: a gas hot water system somehow ignited something, Mr Rosenwald said.

The club was insured.

Driven from her caretakers fl at by the fumes, Pattaree Jomsri was unable to

return.

Subi Square goes for Melbourne lane vibeThe Subi Square Shopping

Centre owners want to turn its arcade into a Melbourne style lane.

The concourse of the centre, in Station Street, Subi Centro, will be cleared to make way for new mall furniture and lights.

The changes are expected to be completed by the end of next month.

According to the construction tender website, EstimateOne, there is a budget of between $100,000 and $250,000 for the project, which will not involve closing the centre.

The shopping centre, which opened in 1999, is owned by 360 Capital Subiaco Square Shopping Centre Property Trust.

Its representative, Albert Sertorio, from Lease Equity, said the work would reinvigor-ate the shopping centre and generate opportunities for new businesses.

The refurbishment will up-date and refresh the arcades architectural elements, creating a contemporary look and feel for shoppers, Mr Sertorio said.

Key elements include en-hanced alfresco dining areas and improved customer access.

Special feature lighting will be installed at high level creat-ing an exciting dimension to the space.

The centre was bought for $18.3million and at the end of last year was valued at $29mil-lion.

It has 22 shops Woolworths is the biggest tenant fi rst-fl oor of-fi ces and parking for 278 cars.

Woolworths lease runs until November 2024.

Coles is expected to close its supermarket in Barker Road, Subiaco, and reopen in the planned $96million redevelop-

ment of the nearby Station Street Market. This development will include a Target store, specialty shops and offi ces.

It is expected to take two years to build.

ABOVE: The main concourse through the Subi Square Shopping Centre is being revamped to look more like a thriving laneway in Melbournes CBD (below).

Free soil for sport groundsUp to eight trucks a day for

four weeks will rumble down McCabe Street carrying ex-cavated soil from the Taskers high-rise site to expand the playing fields and practice areas of Mosman Parks Tom Perrott reserve.

On Tuesday night Mosman Park council approved moving 2500 cubic metres (the equiva-lent of an Olympic-size swim-ming pool) of limestone and sand to the oval.
