Container truck in Curtin crashA black Mazda was de-

stroyed in a collision with a container truck in Curtin Avenue this week.

Neither driver was injured, but both were shaken.

Cottesloe CEO Mat Humfrey said the accident reaffi rmed the council’s position on Curtin Avenue’s unsuitability as a heavy haulage route.

The collision happened on Monday morning as the woman driving the Mazda was rear-ended while turning at the corner of Salvado Street and Curtin Avenue.

Senior Constable Ral Herring said the truck driver had not been given enough time or distance to brake.

Mr Humfrey said the involve-ment of a container truck was

a worry.In July, the council resolved

to petition Cottesloe MP and Premier Colin Barnett and Transport Minister Dean Nalder to ban heavy vehicles from Curtin Avenue, designated for heavy vehicles.

Mayor Jo Dawkins said after Monday’s accident: “Curtin Avenue is a local road, providing direct access to people’s houses.

“The road is shared with cyclists and schoolchildren.”

“It is not an appropriate route for heavy-haulage vehicles.”

By RHIANNON SHINE Police have made a positive link between an unknown rap-ist and the murderer of one of the three victims of the infa-mous Claremont serial killer.

The forensic link shows that the man who abducted a woman from a Claremont street late at night and sexually assaulted her in Karrakatta Cemetery in 1995, is the same man who murdered Ciara Glennon.

Police hope the breakthrough will lead to the arrest of the man who preyed on and murdered young women who had been partying in central Claremont in the mid-1990s.

Police have long linked three crimes, all assumed to be mur-ders.

But it is now known that there is a link between at least one of the murders and an abduction and sexual assault where the victim survived.

Ms Glennon, a 27-year-old lawyer, was the last known

victim, in 1997, of the unknown man who became notorious Australia-wide as the Claremont serial killer.

She was last seen after leav-ing the Claremont Hotel around midnight on March 17. She was talking to someone in a white station wagon stopped on Stirling Highway, opposite Hungry Jack’s.

The attacks by the same per-son are now known to span at least three years.

When the Claremont cold case investigation that uncovered the vital clue began in 2004, police announced that the cases of 16 missing women would be included.

The Special Crime Squad is actively investigating the mys-tery that began nearly 20 years ago with the disappearance of secretary Sarah Spiers (18) from Stirling Road in Claremont after she had left Club Bay View around 2am in January 1996.

‘Someone will die’Cottesloe residents say

Curtin Avenue is becoming increasingly dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists to cross and are frustrated that no pedestrian crossings are being put in place.

A buck-passing stand-off between Cottesloe council and Main Roads WA has led to inaction, as each claims that responsibility for the busy road lies with the other.

Ten years ago, Cottesloe MP Colin Barnett described Curtin Avenue in one of his electorate newsletters as a “disaster wait-ing to happen.”

He also dubbed the road a “makeshift highway”.

Finey Street resident Rebecca Boyce Cam, whose home is on

the corner of Curtin Avenue near the Forrest Street intersection, at Cottesloe railway station, said it was a matter of time before disaster struck.

“I’ve seen so many close calls,” she said. “Someone’s going to die on that stretch of road.”

She said that from her front door she watched a parade of pedestrians through the day taking their chances crossing the road – schoolchildren dashing for the train, tourists lugging

suitcases, or young mums push-ing prams.

“Every morning I see school-children running across the road to get the train – it’s kamikaze,” she said.

“In the afternoons it’s even worse. There are more trucks and lots of kids getting off the train after school.”

Mrs Boyce Cam said the traf-fi c and pedestrian dangers had worsened in the four years she had lived there.

“Curtin Avenue is a very busy road now,” she said.

“The trucks are shocking – they just start to rev up at the Jarrad Street lights and get up speed, so when they reach the Forrest Street intersection, where people are pouring into and out of the Cottesloe station, they’re charging along.”

School site shocks park FriendsThe Friends of Bold Park

Bushland are very concerned that all four potential new west-ern suburb high school sites are in bush, two in Bold Park.

As public land, these sites are free, yet all have inestimable value for conservation and for people’s mental and physical well-being in an increasingly urban environment.

Bold Park was established by the Court government in 1998, after a strongly-fought 11-year battle by the community, led by the Friends.

To say we are surprised at the proposal to build a school in the park is an understatement.

Bold Park has the highest level of protection possible in WA: it is an A-class reserve set aside for its outstanding conservation, landscape and recreation values, and is vested in the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority (BGPA), which also manages King’s Park.

The sites in Bold Park include bush as well as areas that need restoration after past use as a

turf farm (in Rochdale Road), or as a drive-in theatre (off Oceanic Drive).

These sites were included in the park in 1998, to be restored as funds became available.

The BGPA has removed large weeds, like pampas grass, from the drive-in site, which is begin-ning to regenerate naturally.

The Stephenson Highway road reserve occupies much of the drive-in site, so only about 3ha would be available for the school.

The Friends believe the 10.6ha old City Beach high school site provides adequate space for a new school, without expanding into Bold Park.

The site includes much already-cleared land.

New buildings could be higher and existing buildings adapted to increase their capacity.

Careful design, and attention to the needs of the current occu-piers, should make this possible.

Stephanie Cleggpresident, Friends of Bold Park

Bushland

Stephanie Clegg says this area of Bold Park, between the existing high school and the drive-in site, is likely to be cleared if the proposed school

is located in the park.

Get in the swim, SubiThe fairest way to manage Lords Recreation

Centre, in Subiaco, is to allow resident rate-payers free access.

We strive to achieve a fi t and healthy com-munity in the hope that we live longer while continuing to pay our council rates – with very little return investment.

Subiaco council does not yet provide a public swimming pool.

Now is the time to address this issue, for a healthier, more agile community.

Councillors should show leadership in pro-viding a pool for all ratepayers so we can age in dignity and good health.

Kids must be free to play outside

Re the report, “Angry parents take a swing” (POST, October 10).

A group of polite but upset parents attended a Mosman Park council meeting to complain they had received notices from it that play equipment on their verges required permits.

However, the information a staff member gave one resident that the permit cost $150 plus $50 per week was completely wrong and it naturally caused alarm.

I will be recommending a nominal cost only.It borders on absurdity that people can

dodge responsibility for their own actions, but the reality is that there is a potential legal and fi nancial headache for councils that own the verges if an accident occurs due to play equipment.

I grew up in streets where kids climbed trees, played cricket on the road and swung on ropes from branches.

My sister broke her arm (twice!) falling out of verge trees.

No one played the blame game because everyone valued the community spirit that came from neighbourhood kids being active in a communal space within sight of home.

Long may that spirit continue.In the meantime, perhaps residents can check

that their insurance policies cover public li-ability for equipment on verges.

The CEO will meet residents and report back to the council.

POST, October 17, 2015 –

Simpson must sack Perth City Council if Scaffidi winsLocal Government Minister

Tony Simpson has no option but to sack the entire Perth City Council if Lisa Scaffi di is re-elected lord mayor.

Perth’s premier council, sup-posed to be a shining beacon for suburban councils, has failed a basic test.

Now that the gift scandal has spread to other councillors, Mr Simpson has to call a halt.

Perth’s CEO this week referred the conduct of some Perth coun-cillors to the Corruption and Crime Commission.

The POST has been contacted by western suburb council mem-bers and staff horrifi ed about

what is being unearthed at Perth.They think all people associ-

ated with councils have been badly tainted, and support Claremont mayor Jock Barker’s call for swift action, though the complication of the current elec-tions have stopped them from speaking up publicly.

The City of Perth Bill, which would see an expanded Perth overseen by a cabal consisting of the Premier and Perth lord mayor, is now in tatters. It is es-sential that it be dumped.

A council that cannot manage itself should not be made bigger.

Mrs Scaffi di’s apologists ap-pear to have overlooked the fact that the CCC found that on three occasions she had accepted pro-hibited gifts, some very valuable.

When given the opportunity to declare them, she failed to do so.

None of this would have be-come known but for a United States government investigation into BHP’s hospitality activities.

Mr Simpson, himself a former councillor and well aware of his obligations to declare gifts, does not have the option of sacking the mayor or individual councillors.

He can sack or suspend only

entire councils, as he did in Canning and York.

Mr Simpson’s department is making up its mind whether or not Mrs Scaffi di is to be pros-ecuted over the prohibited gifts.

It must surely be considering very carefully what message its decision will send to this state’s 138 other mayors, shire presi-dents and councillors.

Any doubt about the serious-ness of the conduct alleged against Mrs Scaffi di must be dispelled by Mr Simpson’s ac-tions in sacking her this week from the Local Government Standards Panel, where she was an alternative member.

With a lawyer and a depart-

ment expert, she heard evidence and sat in judgment of council-lors throughout the state who faced severe sanction for failing to declare gifts and for their conduct at council meetings.

When the CCC report was released last week, Mrs Scaffi di rhetorically asked, in her now no-torious press statement: “Would I do the same again? Absolutely”, adding that it was only with the release of the CCC report that she had become aware of the requirements of the law.

M r S i m p s o n a n d t h e Department of Local Government must follow logic and probity, dismiss her and her council and abandon the City of Perth Bill.

“Get out of the house – you’re not allowed in the house!”

This was the warning from Sophia Hutson’s brother when he saw photos of her Cottesloe rental home after part of its wall fell into a hole after being undermined on Wednesday last week by workers on the next-door block.

Cottesloe council last week condemned the property as uninhabitable after work being done for building company Brad Ross Homes caused part of the home at 169 Curtin Avenue to collapse.

The council told Sophia and

her house mate, Nic Olai, they could not stay there.

Sophia said Brad Ross had spoken to them after the wall fell down and looked at the extent of damage inside the house.

“He said a structural engi-neer would be here at 8.20am tomorrow [Thursday] to look at it,” she said.

“Cracks appeared in the kitchen and he told us not to go into the kitchen.

“We were waiting for them at 8.20am. No one ever came.

“We called them many times.”

Nic said when they had not heard anything by Friday, they

called their real estate agent at Peard Scarborough and contacted Cottesloe council.

At 3pm on Monday, Sophia said they still had not heard from Mr Ross.

After the POST contacted Mr Ross late on Monday his insur-ance broker phoned Sophia and Nic to offer them four days’ accommodation in a hotel.

Sophia and Nic were about to sign another six-month lease when the incident happened and their lease expired on Monday.

Peard Real Estate told Sophia and Nic their bond would be refunded.

Deal makes Wearne’s future more secureWearne Hostel operators

and four councils that own the Cottesloe site have struck a deal over the aged-care hos-tel’s future.

Last Wednesday night, it was agreed operator Curtin Care would be given a 25-year lease

provided it substantially upgrad-ed the hostel, in Gibney Street.

The state government gave own-ership of the hostel to Claremont, Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove and Mosman Park councils on the condition it be used for aged healthcare.

The councils had considered selling the $30million property to Curtin Care for a nominal fee or extending its current lease, which expires in 2029, to 99 years at a nominal rate, but a community backlash saw them go back to the drawing board.

On Tuesday night Mosman

The old sections of the Wearne Hostel in Marine Parade, Cottesloe, built and added on to in stages from the 1880s to the 1990s.

Park council voted to give Curtin Care a 25-year lease from the time its building work has been completed.

It also authorised Claremont council to draft a lease agree-ment, which Curtin Care could use to borrow the building funds.

The recommendation will soon appear on the other councils’ meeting agenda

Curtin Care originally asked for a 99-year lease or outright ownership of the site for which they planned improvements valued at $80million.

“Curtin Care has provided quality care for older residents in the local area on a not-for-profi t basis for over 30 years,” Curtin Care chairman David Cox said.

“We are keen to work with the four councils to ensure that Wearne will provide a range of world-class aged-care accom-modation options that meets the long-term needs of local residents.”

Ratepayer group attacksBuckley over court caseCambridge council is fac-

ing a lawyers’ bill of at least $100,000 over a court battle with a group of ratepayers.

And the news brought a three-pronged attack on CEO Jason Buckley from mayoral candidate Keri Shannon, council candi-date Andres Timmermanis, and Floreat resident Denis Wills.

Ms Shannon’s Save Our City Beach, Our Floreat ratepayer group wants the Supreme Court to review the council’s decision over planning changes that would allow duplex, triplex and apartment developments.

The proposed Amendment 31 is now in the hands of the WA Planning Commission, which makes a recommendation to

Planning Minister John Day.The council hired lawyers

to ask the court to throw the case out.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, Ms Shannon, Mr Timmermanis and Mr Wills all bombarded Mr Buckley with demands for explanations.

Mr Buckley said he was doing his job by defending a decision of the council.

He said his job was to imple-ment council decisions.

If he had not hired lawyers, the council would not have been represented in court, Mr Buckley said.

Barnett fights Seaward salePremier Colin Barnett

has visited army homes at Swanbourne’s Seaward Village and joined the fi ght to stop land in the precinct being sold for civilian housing.

Mr Barnett, whose elec-torate covers Seaward Village, has written to the Defence Minister Marise Payne asking for a meet-ing and to take her to visit homes in the village.

D e f e n c e H o u s i n g Australia, a federal gov-ernment business agency that looks after housing for defence force members, is planning to sell 25% of the village land.

Mr Barnett said he shared fears of security risks if civilian houses were built next to army homes

and close to the Special Air Services regiment’s base at neighbouring Campbell Barracks.

The DHA plan involves bulldozing the village and re-building homes for families of members of the Special Air Services regiment.

The homes will be on smaller, cottage blocks.

Mr Barnett told Ms Payne he had seen the homes and was in favour of them being renovated rather than de-molished.

“The majority of the dwellings in the village were built in the 1990s and since 2011 a number of homes haven been reno-vated,” Mr Barnett said in his letter to Ms Payne.

Mr Barnett’s own home in Claremont is about 80 years old.

“I have visited houses in the village, some of which were upgraded as part of the renovation pro-gram and an unrenovated house,” he said.

“I believe there is better sense in continuing the refurbishment program.

“Seaward Village is a peaceful, private and family-based community.”

The DHA has previously said the homes needed to be rebuilt because of high maintenance costs and things like wardrobes being too narrow for hang-ing dress uniforms.

Mr Barnett said in his let-ter renovation would cause less disruption to families.

He said some families were already being encour-aged to leave the area for the six-year construction period.

Ultimatum to ‘ice addict’

Police visited the home of a City Beach man – who neigh-bours believe is a drug addict – seven times last weekend.

Police escorted Cambridge council workers to the man’s Tarongo Way home last Friday.

Council workers told the man he had seven days to clean up his property or it would be declared unfi t for human habitation.

Plumbers visited the home several hours after the council inspection.

A neighbour said one of the tradesmen left after 10 minutes.

“The addict was out the front saying, ‘Go, you piece of shit’,” a neighbour said.

“He is very agitated.”A neighbour told the POST

the man had entered his third consecutive week of night-time home demolitions.

“The drug binge has been going on for two weeks day and night,” the neighbour said.

“His yelling and smashing are so loud one of the other neigh-bours’ windows was vibrating.

“He presents as rational when

the police come.“Drug dealers come three to

four times a day.“Police said the inside of the

house is the worst they have ever seen.”

Cottesloe Acting Senior Sergeant Carol Vernon said seven police attendances last weekend did not mean there was a lack of commitment.

“We can only deal with what we fi nd at the time,” she said.

“Everything is evidence based.”

Sergeant Vernon said Health Department offi cers had visited the house.

“Their assessment has not suggested that he has a mental health issue,” she said.

“It’s a behavioural issue.“We have to be careful not to

stigmatise this person.“We don’t know for sure that

he is using drugs.“The police are taking a holis-

tic approach and will continue to provide support to all parties – the community, the family, the council and the individual.”

Melvista sale on holdMoves to sell a block of council land near a

nursing home were put on hold on Tuesday.Nedlands mayor Max Hipkins said the

company that had offered to buy the block in Doonan Road, Oryx Consolidated, had asked for the matter to be withdrawn from the agenda.

“Apparently they told council staff they had not settled their negotiations to buy Melvista Lodge,” Mr Hipkins said.

Company records show two directors of Oryx Consolidated are a Dalkeith couple, Nita Peploe and Jonathan Toby Browne-Cooper, of Wavell Road.

The council committee had been due to close the meeting to consider a confi dential report on the potential sale.

It is understood the report said the company had offered $10,000 for an option to buy the council block.

Mr Hipkins said he expected the council would call for bids and any sale of the land would be subject to a public tender.

A man who was taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital by ambulance and treated in the emergency department allegedly stole from hospital-owned cars after being discharged.

The Leederville man has been

charged with four counts of steal-ing from motor vehicles after he allegedly smashed the windows of cars in the multi-storey carpark.

The man was admitted to the hospital on October 7 and allegedly broke into the cars later that night.

Patient stole from hospital cars

There is still time to vote in the council elections.

People who have lost their voting papers can get new ones from their councils before 6pm on Saturday.

Votes in the City of Perth reached their highest daily peak of more than 700 on October 7, the day after the Corruption and Crime Commission released its opinions of “serious miscon-duct” against lord mayor Lisa Scaffi di.

On Thursday, 3754 people had voted in the City of Perth, making up 32.98% of the total number of packages sent out.

By Thursday, Cambridge Coast ward had received 33% Wembley ward 24% of postal votes, Clare-mont East 31%, Claremont West 28% and Claremont South 26 %.

Cottesloe Central had reached 33%, east 29% and south 32%.

Nedlands (Dalkeith ward) and Peppermint Grove both had 34% of their votes in and Mosman Park had 25%.

Subiaco Central and Subiaco North, both wards with two po-sitions available, had received 30% and 31% respectively by Thursday.

Subiaco East had 29% while Subiaco South had reached 24%.

Did you say Antarctica? Then I’m in!The word Antarctica

prompted University of WA researcher Melinda Fitzgerald to read to the end of an email that will now see her spend the beginning of summer next year there with 77 female scientists.

The 20-day Homeward Bound expedition will bring the sci-entists together to fi nd ways to increase the number of women involved in the higher levels of science and discussion will in-clude education on leadership, climate change science and the application of strategies to implement global change.

Dr Fitzgerald, an associate professor of experimental and regenerative neurosciences at UWA’s school of animal biol-ogy, leads a team of 10 students and staff developing treatments for traumatic brain and spinal cord injury.

“The thing that got me to read to the end of the email was the word Antarctica,” Dr Fitzgerald said.

“How else do you get people to do a leadership program for three week? It is not something many people would sign up for.

“But it certainly got me en-gaged and the more I went into the project, the more I realised it was very much in line with what I am already trying to achieve here.”

At UWA, Dr Fitzgerald has set up a mentoring program for women in her department and is particularly interested in the Science in Australia Gender Equity Initiative, a pilot program to improve gender eq-uity in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) sectors.

It is similar to the Athena

SWAN Scheme in the UK, where research institutes have to reach certain benchmarks of partici-pation of women in higher levels of science to receive funding.

“That’s being rolled out and I really want to be involved in that program here, so I put my hand up,” she said.

Dr Fitzgerald is well ac-quainted with the challenges women face in building their careers – she took eight years off when her two sons were young.

“Women are under-repre-sented in the higher levels of science yet we have much to offer,” she said.

“Men’s and women’s brains work differently. Diverse teams are better as they are more effi cient and take more risks, and they solve problems more effectively.

“And we need both kinds of brains to attack problems that are of real importance in our world, such as climate change, medical research, poverty and feeding people.

“A lot of those problems are challenging and are yet to be solved.

“The trip will be about build-ing relationships, collaboration skills and worldwide networks

to actually action change.“I have been surprised al-

ready at how big this is, how motivated the organising team is and how keen they are to get everyone involved in these projects, some of which have the potential to be quite wide ranging.

“I put my hand up for a project to contact organisations with a large global footprint that have a poor track record in women’s equity in employment.

“I am looking forward to being part of that and it will be a big part of the build-up over the next year.”

Dr Fitzgerald was among the 35 Australians selected from 250 applicants and four from UWA.

“I was over the moon when I was selected and my husband, John, said I must do it as I have always wanted to visit Antarctica,” she said.

“The fi rst week will be the leadership and strategy com-ponent, the second week polar science, where the scientists of the Antarctica research di-vision will be teaching us all things about climate change, and the third week will be the project.”

Her only experience with frigid weather was during a fam-ily holiday to Iceland last year.

“So I do have one big jacket,” she said. “I’ve got a start.”

This expedition will be the beginning of a 10-year project that is expected to build a 1000-strong global collaboration of women in science.

Its main aims are to lift each participant’s leadership capa-bilities, to refi ne their skills to design and execute strategy and devise plans for future col-laborations.

High-profi le women in the scientifi c and environmental fi elds will take part, including primatologist and environmen-tal activist Jane Goodall.

The expedition will be led by Greg Mortimer, who has led more than 80 expeditions to the Antarctic.

It leaves Ushuaia, a resort on Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego, on December 2, next year.

The UWA team is raising funds to support its participa-tion at chuffed.org/project/homeward-bound-empowering-women-for-a-more-sustainable-future and donations are tax deductible.

Medals arrive after 70 years“441432”, said 98-year-old

World War II veteran and Nedlands resident Harold Woodhouse when Wing Commander Peter Kershaw asked him to recall his old enlistment number.

Harold’s memory and the de-tail with which he tells stories from the 1930s belie his age.

Harold’s wife, Dorothy, who died three years ago, also served in the war.

Unlike his wife, Harold never applied for or received his ser-vice medals, but after 70 years and some stern reconsideration, he applied and Commander Kershaw presented them to him at his daughter’s home last Saturday.

Harold’s three children, 12 grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and some guests watched the presentation.

“I was a bit iffy about it,” Harold said of his decision never to apply for his medals.

He disagreed with having to apply for them and thought, after returning on November 22, 1945, he should have been sought out and the medals given to him.

Harold thought he was owed four medals, but three months ago his son, John, discovered he was also eligible for the Pacifi c Star medal.

That discovery, along with Harold’s growing sense that the medals could be valuable memorabilia for his family, encouraged him to apply.

“I thought [the army] should have sent them but upon refl ec-tion I thought it would be good for my grandchildren,” Harold said.

“I am honoured. The presen-tation was delightful … I will remember this day.

“I am sad that I have not got my wife, but I am lucky with

my family.”After enlisting at Swan

Barracks in 1940, Harold was promoted to acting sergeant in 1942 and served in the Royal Australian Air Force.

In 1943, Harold was discharged due to glaucoma in one of his eyes (which he still treats monthly) and moved to malaria control, working in New Guinea.

In 1944, he married Dorothy and when the war ended a year later he spontaneously boarded the HMS Glory back to Sydney with no other way of getting home.

Commander Kershaw said he had been asked to fi nd someone to present Harold his medals and so he had chosen himself.

“I was not going to pass up that opportunity,” Commander Kershaw said.

He said there were many unclaimed service medals and that it was a privilege to present Harold with his.

After 70 years, Harold Woodhouse was fi nally presented with his World War II service medals by Wing Commander Peter Kershaw.

A ban on councillors hold-ing private meetings with developers has been fl agged by Subiaco’s new chief.

Don Burnett started work last week as Subiaco’s CEO and immediately said the council should be completely trans-parent.

“If they are going to meet a developer, they should techni-cally have an offi cer with them,” he said.

“We’ve got to work through that issue.”

Mr Burnet t , a former Kalgoorlie-Boulder CEO, also said council credit card trans-actions should be made public.

His start at Subiaco co-incided with the release of the Corruption and Crime Commission’s damaging report

about Perth lord mayor Lisa Scaffi di’s accepting prohibited gifts.

Mr Burnett said he was al-ready looking at ways to improve transparency and accountability.

“This council, most councils, don’t get clothing allowances and that sort of thing,” he said. “That’s pretty much just the City of Perth.

“I’m already reviewing all the minutes from the committees and how they are dealt with.

“They’ll be on the website and easier for people to see. Currently they’re not.

“All credit card purchases will be tabled. Credit cards are the ones where people get themselves into trouble because they use them for silly things.

“The council has nothing to hide.

“There’ll be procedures and

policies in place to ensure that whatever we do, people can say that everything was done with good intent and was transparent.”

Mr Burnett said there was a process to go through before the council could adopt any recom-mendations.

“We’ll see what best practices are out there, what other coun-cils are doing,” he said.

“We are not going to reinvent the wheel. There’s nothing hard in it, but I think the expectation is we are more transparent and accessible.”

Subiaco mayor Heather Henderson said she believed

most residents and ratepayers would generally be happy with the integrity of the council and councillors.

“But there is always room to improve, and that is what we are going to try to do,” she said.

“We will wait for our new council to come on board [after this weekend’s elections] and then I’ll be discussing with the CEO how we take on a change in the way we do things in terms of declarations of interest, gifts, all those things, and how we make those more public.

“We need to take it into our

own hands as an organisation and change things, rather than wait for the minister to put it on top of us.”

Ms Henderson said she had backed her Vincent counterpart John Carey when he called for a register for travel, gifts and hospitality, as well as a ban on donations from developers, at the WA Local Government conference in August.

That motion was overwhelm-ingly rejected by a majority of delegates, with commentators later saying they agreed with its intent but not the way it was delivered.

Summer pool safety As the warmer weather is fast approaching, it is great to enjoy some time around your swimming pool. It is also important that you are aware of current safety requirements so you and your family have a safe and enjoyable summer.

Owners and occupiers of premises with private swimming and spa pools are required by the Building Regulations 2012 (WA) to install a safety barrier intended to protect the safety of young children by restricting their access to the area.

The city is required to inspect all pools and spas at least once every four years to determine compliance. Building surveyors from the City of Subiaco will contact pool owners as the inspections fall due. To check when the next inspection of your pool or spa is due, or to request an inspection, please contact the city on 9237 9254.

To make sure your pool is safe for summer and meets safety requirements, please view the Building Commission’s publication Rules for Pools and Spas on the city’s website www.subiaco.wa.gov.au or collect a copy from the city’s Administration Centre, 241 Rokeby Road, Subiaco.

70 want ‘ugly’panels banned

More than 70 residents in an exclusive part of Mosman Park have petitioned the council to ban elevated rooftop solar panels on steep sites overlooking the Swan River.

Saunders Street resident Brian Welch presented the petition to the council meeting on Tuesday night after door-knocking houses in the area bounded by Owston and Wellington streets.

He said only panels fl ush with the roof should be permitted.

“Elevated solar panels are ugly, intrusive, industrial-style structures wholly out of place and unnecessary in any residential area,” Mr Welch told councillors.

He said the petition was a symptom of the extreme concern

residents felt about the council’s failure to ensure new homes conformed to regulations.

“This failure is steadily destroy-ing the amenity of this precinct, and I suspect the amenity of many other parts of the municipality, the character and, for many long-term residents, their property values,” he said.

“For many aged people like me, that is effectively our superan-nuation fund.”

Wellington Street resident Walter James read a background submission prepared by Ernie Evans, of Saunders Street, who was unable to attend the meet-ing.

“If approval for a property is given to its maximum height limit of 8.5m, then solar panels could

Rotary to the rescue … John Law with Judy and Rachael Ralston and the Toyota Alphard. Photo: Billie Fairclough

Van a life changer for RachaelMosman Park Rotarians

have made a teenage girl’s wish come true and changed her life.

Rachael Ralston (18) was born with Ehlers Danlos syn-drome (EDS).

The genetic connective tis-sue disorder means many of her joints – her shoulders, neck, ribs, fi ngers, hands but mostly her hips – are dislo-cated 10 to 20 times a day.

It has also damaged her internal organs.

Rachael said she was in constant pain, which takes

its toll on her emotionally, as does the realisation she will never have a job, go to university, drive a car, marry, have children or have a long life like her friends.

For the past fi ve years her 58-year-old mother Judy, who is her full-time carer, has used a small van, with wooden ramps made by a man at her church, to drive Rachael around.

Judy struggled to push Rachael’s wheelchair into the back and eventually resorted to using a hand winch to drag it up the ramp.

Judy said Rachael could

walk but not for any distance.After learning of her plight,

the Mosman Park Rotary Club set about raising $34,000 to buy a secondhand Toyota Alphard, a seven-seat van with a kneeling rear suspension and remote-controlled folding ramp, which allows easy access for one or two wheelchairs.

Swan Valley, Corrigin, K a l a m u n d a , W e s t e r n Endeavour and Scarborough Rotary clubs and Rotarian Alf Snell chipped in, topping up the $7000 from Variety WA and $10,000 from the Independent Living Centre.

Floreat resident Peter Hearne says he wants to know why Cambridge coun-cil spent money on plaques honouring mayor Simon Withers.

“When I was walking my usual trail around Perry Lakes late last week, I was intrigued to spot from a distance two odd objects in the treed area south of the scout hall,” he said.

The objects were plaques on stone plinths marking trees that had been planted by mayor Simon Withers on each of fi ve arbor days.

Mr Hearne, of Arbordale Street, said the project was arrogance and a waste of ratepayers’ money.

“I’m keen to pause and read remembrances to soldiers, pioneers and the like, to refl ect on their contribution to our history and society,” he said.

“What do I read on these plaques? In remembrance of Simon Withers planting a tree on Arbor Day.”

Mr Withers said it was the first time he had seen the plaques when he went to the site after asked about them by the POST.

Council CEO Jason Buckley said staff had organised the installations and had known nothing about them until they were in.

When he was fi rst elected, Mr Withers said he would like to reinstate Arbor Day plant-ing, which he said had been a great celebration when he was at school.

He said he wanted every student in the town to take part in planting.

Each year, groups of primary school students carry out plant-ing with the mayor and teach-ers and enjoy sausage sizzles afterwards.

Mr Buckley said: “Arbor Day commemorative plaques were

installed to replace temporary laminated labels.

“The plaques cost approxi-mately $500 each.

“The town contracted out the replacement project to an external company in July this year.”

“The cost of the whole event

based on planting 600 seed-lings, which we do each year, is around $7200,” Mr Buckley said.

“This covers the cost of seed collection, propagation, site preparation, weeding, mulching, watering over the fi rst summer and the plaque.”


Withers: I’d never seen the plaques

A row of commemorative plaques installed in July mark the fi ve diff erent years Arbor Day planting was carried out at Perry Lakes

reserve by Cambridge mayor Simon Withers.

By LINDA CALLAGHANThe head and deputy head of

the development assessment panel (DAP) for the western suburbs were the highest paid DAP planners in 2014-15.

Megan Bartle, a former staffer in Subiaco council’s planning department and now a consultant at Subiaco-based fi rm Woodsome Management, was paid $27,950 in fees for her work as presiding member.

But her deputy presiding mem-ber, Clayton Higham, was paid even more for his work on the local and other panels.

At $34,950, he received more than any of the other 25 govern-ment-appointed specialist DAP members.

Presiding members get $500, per meeting while other panel-lists get $400.

Figures in the Department of Planning’s recently published annual report show that archi-tect Malcolm Mackay, the third government-picked expert on

the fi ve-person panel, received just $3300.

Mr Mackay has not sat in on many DAP panels in the past 12 months.

He said this was because of potential confl icts of interest with projects in Vincent – which is also covered by the Metro West DAP – on which his wife and fellow architect had worked, or because he was representing developers he had worked for at meetings of that panel.

The records show that his re-placement on the panel, Luigi D’Alessandro, also an architect, got fees of $27,350 for his work as a DAP expert.

Other planners with links to the western suburbs were also among the best remunerated.

Charles Johnson, who heads up Subiaco council’s design review panel, was paid $27,000 for his involvement with DAPs.

Former Cambridge planner turned consultant Ian Birch got $26,150 in fees as a DAP specialist.

Rob Wallis justifi ably ques-tions the high costs of Subiaco council compared with neigh-bouring councils (“Subi spends more than neighbours”, POST, October 10).

A few pages on from his letter, a report advises of a fi nancial audit by Subiaco (“Subi’s assets total $350m”) to ensure that the books are correct and quotes that as at June 30, 2014 fi nan-cial year the total rate revenue was over $20million (actually $20.1million).

It also reports that Subiaco council has 202 full-time staff.

The fi nancial report, avail-able from the council’s website, shows that employee costs are $22.5million.

This imbalance, where rate revenue has failed to cover employee costs, has been oc-curring for several years.

However, I fear the actual costs associated with employ-ment are even worse, because Subiaco has a habit of contract-ing consultants at the drop of a hat to address issues and projects that should well be within the scope of profession-ally qualifi ed staff.

Lake Jualbup is a good case in question, with hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on outsourced consultations and reports, while action to imple-ment a years-old resolution by the council for permanent water remains stalled.

Let’s hope that the audit will do more than confi rm the exist-ing fi gures but also review value for money expenditure.

Mosman Park used to be agreat place for children

It was lovely to read about the homemade tyre swings children and their parents have fi tted to their verge trees in Mosman Park, and it certainly brought back such happy memories of growing up there. (“Angry parents take a swing”, POST, October 10).

There was always something going on in the streets: swings from verge trees, playing ten-nis and football on the streets and building cubbies and tree hideouts in the bush above the cliff face along the entire stretch of Bay View Terrace, where I grew up.

Unfortunately, destruction of the bush along Bay View Terrace soon came about with many trees bulldozed and grass planted.

I live in North Fremantle now, which has a much healthier com-munity spirit, but I still walk to Minim Cove every morning and survey the shocking vandalism to the natural bush there brought about by constant spraying of Roundup by the council, despite people demanding they stop.

For the parents wanting to

keep their verge swings, sign-ing verge permits is probably a good thing, with a clause indicating there would be no attempt at litigation should a child be injured.

Good luck to all those won-derful parents and children – I hope you keep your swings and all things fun.

Helen HallDirection Way, North Fremantle

• Mosman Park CEO Kevin Poynton responds:

“Mosman Park deploys a range of measures to assist in keeping weed species at bay.

“The council is aware of residents’ concerns that spraying to control weed infestations carries a risk of damage to non-weed species.

“To respond to these concerns, the council is revising its management approach to reduce this problem.

“Planned measures include more regular planting and mulching to minimise weed growth and spraying.

“The council appreciates the ef-forts made by residents and the Friends of Mosman Park Bushland, who conduct regular weeding in Minim Cove to keep the town look-ing beautiful.”

It is that time of year again when drivers near Lake Monger need to be careful, slow down and pay more attention.

Please keep an eye out for ducklings, cygnets, turtles, bob-tails and other wildlife while driving.

Already I have seen a signifi -cant amount of carnage along Lake Monger Drive, especially turtles.

There is not much in this world that moves slower than a turtle, so pay attention and go around them, or even take an extra few minutes and help them safely to the verge.

No one is in that much of a rush that they can’t take the time to protect our wildlife.

Carrie GardnerValencia Avenue, Churchlands

The ‘no’ signs spoil our funAs online business and home

owners, we installed a swing on our verge for children a year ago.

We don’t have young ones in our home, but often they walk by with parents on their way to the local day-care centre or stores in and around Mosman Park.

Our grandchildren and neighbours’ children also love it, and we often hear lovely laughter as they enjoy it.

We have a chair there for parents or grandparents to have a rest.

We have some regular passers-by and we often hear children requesting a swing, please.

Several times we have heard these families speaking to their children in French and Italian.

If we are out the front, they

have a quick chat and say thanks for the enjoyment of our swing.

I actually felt sorry for the ranger who brought us a let-ter about the swing from the council, because he was shak-ing his head.

Why?There are a lot of NO signs in

our public parks and beaches and none that says “We, as a community, hope you enjoy and take care of yourself and these facilities and say thanks for doing so”.

My husband and I recall reading of a gentleman who came to look at our city, at the local government’s request.

He was asked how we could improve it, and one way he noted was to cut out – or re-duce – all the NO signs!

Best foot backwards to beat the bluesA Claremont man will act

as a human guide dog for a friend attempting to run the Rottnest marathon backwards next weekend.

UWA medical student Tane Eunson said he had initially shot down suggestions from his friend, Chris Henderson, that they compete in the event.

“I’ve always refused because it is in October, so it’s hot, there’s no shade over there so it’s really hot, and it’s also quite hilly,” Tane said.

“Those aren’t really three things that entice me into run-ning a marathon.”

But when Chris announced he would attempt the 42.2km marathon backwards this year as part of a bet, Tane offered to help.

“He’s a maniac,” Tane said. “I think the longest I’ve ever

run backwards in my life would be 20m or something, which I imagine would be the same for most people.

“But he’s going to do 42,000m backwards.

“When I asked if he needed a hand, he said he didn’t know how he was going to get around backwards, so I said I’d run it with him.”

Chris said he was grateful for Tane’s support and assistance.

Chris said: “At one stage, I was going to have to have a bike helmet with extendable mirrors to be able to look behind me, but Tane kindly jumped in and said he would be my eyes.”

The seasoned runners have developed a navigational system that they hope will see them to the fi nish line.

“Tane stands a couple of steps behind me and off to the side a bit and he looks out for obsta-cles or holes in the ground,” Chris said.

“He has hand signals for left and right, and it seems to work quite well.

“When it comes to bollards or crossing the road, he will give me a distance and when we get closer I will turn my head around and cross the road look-ing backwards.”

Tane has also helped Chris raise money for charity BeyondBlue, which promotes

awareness of anxiety and de-pression.

They have raised more than $3900 so far.

In addition, if Chris wins the bet, he will donate half his $2000 prizemoney to the charity.

Tane said they hoped to com-plete the run in about 5½ hours.

“He’s unreal, I think he’s even surprised himself with his pro-gress,” Tane said.

“He’s done three backwards half-marathon training runs now and they have all been pretty comfortable.”

Tane said he was most worried he would lose concentration and make Chris fall over.

“There’s no way I can not fi nish if Chris fi nishes running backwards – I’d just keep run-ning into the ocean and never be seen again.”

RAS probesits worth

The Claremont Showgrounds owner has commissioned a study to measure its social and economic contribution to WA.

The Royal Agricultural Society said the assessment, by AEC Group Pty Ltd, was a fi rst for the organisation.

“What we’re looking to do is get a clear picture of the signifi cant direct and indirect social and economic benefi ts that are generated by the RAS in Perth and country areas,” CEO Peter Cooper said.

“The RAS has an annual budget in excess of $14million, and more than 40 permanent staff.

“It invests more than $4million in educational activities that promote and benchmark excellence in agriculture, the arts and cultural activities important to West Australians.

“We also directly generate almost 300 casual jobs at Show time.

“In addition to the Show, there are more than 100 events held at Claremont Showground each year and they attract 300,000 visitors.

“Claremont Showground is the safest and best equipped venue for music festivals. We are proud that each music festival held here contributes $3million in annual economic impact to WA.”

Mr Cooper said a 2014 study for the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria identifi ed its value to the state of Victoria to be in excess of $331.8million, with the Royal Melbourne Show contributing more than $239.2million of that total.

The Victorian report highlighted signifi cant social contributions in employment, industry awareness and tourism.

‘Someone will die on this road’She described the stretch

of Curtin Avenue from Jarrad Street to Eric Street as a poten-tial death trap because of the heavy vehicles that used the road all day.

She suggested a footbridge at Forrest Street might provide a safe crossing for pedestrians while not impeding traffi c fl ow.

“There’s a traffic light at Jarrad Street and one at Eric Street,” she said.

“But if they put another at Forrest Street they think there’s too much stopping and starting for the trucks and cars. They want to see the traffi c fl owing.”

Melita Mclean, who has run The Bush Stop fl ower shop on the corner of Forrest Street and Curtin Avenue since 1986, has also seen many close calls as pedestrians cross Curtin Avenue outside of her shop..

“It really is a dangerous road – it’s really unsafe for pedestrians trying to cross it,” she said.

“Trucks go by all day.”Ms Mclean said she was

concerned about the number of teenagers and tourists who poured out of Cottesloe station during summer and had to cross such a busy road unaided.

“It’d be great if we had traffi c lights here because that would make them aware of the need to stop and wait for a green light,” she said.

She said that in her 30 years watching over the crossing from her shop, she had seen many near misses as young people and tourists played chicken, dodging the heavy traffi c to get across, sometimes becoming stranded on the median strip with trucks and cars hurtling past them.

“I really should fi lm it for a

couple of hours to show people what actually happens there,” she said.

The absence of a dedicated pe-destrian crossing made drivers take it upon themselves to allow pedestrians across, she said.

“Quite often cars are stopping to let people across.

“Unless you cross at a par-ticularly quiet time, there is continuous fl ow of traffi c one way or the other, so to actually get across that road you can be standing there waiting for quite a long time.”

John Street resident Colin Svanberg said he worried that many overseas tourists leaving Cottesloe station for the beach were at particular risk, primed to look in the opposite direction for oncoming traffi c.

“My main concern is that visi-tors who normally look to the left for oncoming traffi c will be killed when they’re hit by a car or truck coming from the right,” he said.

“I believe it’s only a matter of time before someone gets killed on Curtin Avenue, and

the trucks are only making it more dangerous for cars and pedestrians.”

Mr Svanberg expressed his concern to Main Roads in an email and received a reply in which he was told Curtin Avenue was a local road and therefore the council’s responsibility.

The POST received a similar answer from a Main Roads spokesperson: “Curtin Avenue is a local road that is owned and maintained by the Town of Cottesloe, therefore any modi-fi cations to the road need to be initiated by the town.”

But Cottesloe council CEO Mat Humfrey said it wasn’t good enough for Main Roads to shoulder the council with sole responsibility.

“As Curtin Avenue is being used by the state as a district distributor, and a heavy-haulage route, it is appropriate for the state to fund any additional infrastructure, over and above what is required for a local road,” he said.

Mr Humfrey said the Forrest Street intersection pedestrian crossing islands were a reason-able response to crossing issues on a local road.

He said Cottesloe council believed the state government should accept responsibility for the use of the road as a district distributor.

The Minister for Transport, Dean Nalder, had been asked to get Main Roads to consider taking full responsibility for Curtin Avenue from the council.

“The implication of responsi-bility transferring to the state is the state will be responsible for funding the maintenance and upgrade of the road,” he said.

“At this stage, we have been given no indication as to whether this is defi nite or the timing.”

Colin Svanberg and Melita Mclean dodge heavy trucks to cross Curtin Avenue.

CHRISTMASCHEER

LEFT IN THE DARKAn 88-year-old man tripped

and hit his head on a wall in a dark corridor after being forced to climb eight flights of stairs to his flat during a three-day power failure at Wandana in Subiaco.

Other residents – mainly elderly people – were forced to remain in their apartments while neighbours did their shopping.

Another man with severe health problems, who lives on one of the upper floors, said he had been stranded on a lower floor when the lift stopped work-ing and could not get to his unit

for his medication.A paramedic retrieved his

medication and the man later drove himself to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in a dis-tressed state

Last Saturday, two doctors made house calls to residents who were unable to move and three residents are understood to have needed hospital treatment.

Residents who have lived

there for more than 10 years said it had been the worst breakdown.

The power cut affected more than 100 tenants in the 1950s high-rise Department of Housing block in Thomas Street.

All the lifts in the 10-storey A block stopped last Saturday morning when a water pipe in the building burst, flooding a switchboard.

Without power, water could not be pumped to the top floors and tenants on the lower floors had low water pressure.

While most appliances in apartments worked, TVs did not.

Outdoor and emergency light-ing in public areas – including the long passages connecting the flats – did not work, plung-ing the corridors into darkness, even during the day.

It is not known if smoke detec-tors and alarm systems worked during the brownout.

Many tenants said they had phoned the Housing Department several times.

bbbi llllThe report last December that

sealed Lloyd Gorman’s win.

Lloyd’s dark report shines

A detailed report on the plight of elderly Subiaco resi-dents trapped with no water or power for three days has won a journalism award for POST reporter Lloyd Gorman.

It was the stand-out of three of his reports considered by judges in the category of Best Suburban Journalism.

The POST’s David Cohen was a fi nalist in the category. Prizes were awarded last Saturday night.

The judges considered three of Lloyd’s reports, titled Subiaco Scandals.

The second was about former Liberal leader Matt Birney’s lob-bying of Subiaco councillors on behalf of his client, the owner of an offi ce building.

The third was Lloyd’s uncover-ing of a challenge by the owners of the Subigate development to 38 conditions imposed on their 16 storey development on the old Subiaco Pavilion site.• Please turn to page 37

State planners to assess infillA decision on City Beach and

Floreat infi ll was deferred this week after state planners heard deputations from the local com-munity.

“The WA Planning Commission is seeking further information on the draft amendment prior to fi nalising its recommendation,” a government spokeswoman said.

“The WAPC is aware of the ratepayers’ Supreme Court writ.”

Delegations from ratepay-ers, Cambridge council and Churchlands MP Sean L’Estrange put their views to the WA Planning Commission (WAPC) about the controversial Amendment 31 to the town planning scheme.

The row has raged for almost a year over moves to allow duplex, triplex and apartment develop-ment on big blocks in City Beach, Floreat and parts of Mt Claremont.

After the council decided in favour of an altered Amendment 31, a ratepayers’ group asked the Supreme Court to review that decision.

The council has asked the court to throw the case out.

Cambridge CEO Jason Buckley said he had been told the earliest date for a hearing was February.

The WAPC’s statutory planning committee discussed it on Tuesday.

The meeting was closed to the public but the committee listed the item on its agenda as “for fi nal approval”.

The WAPC makes a recommen-dation to Planning Minister John Day, who has the fi nal say.

Keri Shannon, spokeswoman for the ratepayer group, Save Our City Beach, Our Floreat, is oneof four candidates for the Cambridge mayorship.

“The Minister is not bound by the recommendation, so it is criti-cal we have a balanced council in place as soon as possible so the fi nal decision can be negotiated in a sensible and meaningful way,” she said.

Mr L’Estrange said he had told the committee that the council had pushed through Amendment 31 in the face of opposition from affected residents.

Mr L’Estrange, who lives in the affected area in City Beach, has long opposed the council.

“I made a deputation, on behalf of my constituents,” he said.

“I recommended that Scheme Amendment 31 not be supported in its current form.”

He said he had told the com-mittee: “I am not convinced that Scheme Amendment 31 will achieve the housing diversity out-comes for homeowners at different life stages, single, young family, retired and aged.”

He said it did not pay enough attention to location or an overall strategy for the town.

Mr L’Estrange said he had told the committee: “Scheme Amendment 31 takes a highly indiscriminate and widespread approach to infi ll throughout two of the town’s seven established suburbs.”

Ms Shannon spoke to the com-mittee on behalf of the Save Our City Beach, Our Floreat group.

Cambridge mayor Simon Withers put the council’s case and was supported by two council staff who were there to answer technical questions.

Each delegation made its sub-mission in private before the committee discussed it behind closed doors.

News in Brief …

New lease of life forIndiana & public toiletsA DETAILED proposal to substantially rebuild Cottesloe’s iconic In-diana Tea House and provide 21st century facilities for the broad-er community and res-taurant patrons is now available.

“We are determined to make this development effective and acceptable across the board, and for everyone to take this op-portunity to express their views,” said Town CEO Mat Humfrey.

“It is an expensive under-

that in partnership with the State and the Lessee, Cot-tesloe can provide a solu-tion to the beach toilets problems that have beset the Town for years.

“You can view the pro-posal, with designs show-ing each level of the build-ing and then contact the Council with comments, by email, phone, letter – what-ever suits.”

Of greatest importance to most beach-users will be new male and female toilets plus change-rooms, with more toilets and show-ers, occupying the whole mid-level of the Indiana building.

Light, ventilation and security will be enhanced throughout. The present kiosk is removed, a new one located at the restau-rant level, new stairs and a lift connect the mid- and upper-levels.

CostsThe redevelopment doc-

ument charts the building’s history. Its current form dates to the mid-90s, when it was built on to the 1983 Cottesloe Beach Pavilion.

The 1983-era toilets, surf-club boat shed, kiosk do not meet today’s stan-dards.

Replacing these elements and creating an up-to-date facility will cost $4.7 mil-lion. Contributions are ex-pected to be – State gov-ernment $1.77m; Red Rock Leisure (Indiana lessee) approximately $1.3m; Cot-tesloe $1.7m.

Under a new lease the annual rent would increase by $55,000 per annum and Cottesloe would be respon-sible for toilet maintenance and cleaning.

Full details of the Indiana proposal are the home page at www.cottesloe.wa.gov.au

Council invites residents’ input to planning a much-

improved public facility Indiana’s recent history is in the proposal.

Foreshore redevelopment

HUNDREDS of thousands of overseas and Aus-tralian visitors come to Cottesloe every year. The redevelopment of Cottesloe’s foreshore in-frastructure should make their experience even better, and enhance the Town’s amenity for resi-dents and visitors alike.

But it should not aim to boost attendances ever higher.

That’s the brief Coun-cil has given consultants Cardno, engaged to com-plete a detailed concept design for the foreshore.

StagesTheir brief requires pub-

lic consultation, as well as consultation with stake-holder groups.

The design will contain two major components. They are:

master plan for the area

between Forrest Street and Eric Street; with

-rest Street to Napier Street section.

The detailed designs provided will allow the Town to seek support for the project, as well as ob-taining costings and as-sisting with the Tender process.

InputThe Council encourages

input from residents on all aspects of the redevelop-ment.

Comments please

IN ADDITION to ap-pointment of consul-tants for the Foreshore Redevelopment, design guidelines have been accepted for public con-sultation by Cottesloe Council and submis-sions are invited.

Cottesloe’s Restricted Foreshore Centre Zone comprises sites mainly at the western end of Warn-ham Rd and John St; and the NW corner of Erics St and Marine Pde op-posite the Ocean Beach Hotel.

The guidelines cover matters such as setbacks, streetscape, boundary walls and interfaces with residential buildings.

Full details can be found on the Town web-site.

Ever wondered what lies behind the picket fences that line the leafy streets of Peppermint Grove?

Ten of these private gar-dens will open their gates later this month as part of the Presbyterian Ladies’ College Centenary Open Garden Day.

Now in its 18th year, the open garden day showcases some of Perth’s best properties.

PLC old collegian and mother Carolyn Shephard will again host visitors in her garden, where celebrity chef Aristos will do a cooking dem-onstration.

“We decided to do 10 gar-dens this year to tie in with the school’s centenary,” she said.

“People will see a range of gardens – from modern ones with pools and tennis courts to incredibly old gardens with heritage roses.”

There will be market stalls at PLC selling homemade cakes, fl owers, handmade crafts and secondhand books and a cafe will serve homemade lunch and refreshments at a nearby property.

Ambience will be provided by PLC’s pipe band and singer Sara Macliver.

The event is on Friday, October 30, from 10am to 2pm.

Tickets can be bought online or bought on the day at $25 for people over 16 and $15 for pensioners.

Parking will be available at Manners Hill Park, Keane Street. PLC produce … Carolyn Shephard and her daughters Denby (9) and Nina (5)

Grove gardens reveal secrets A volunteer Mosman Park

“wildlife warrior” has been rapped for distributing an election fl yer urging residents not to vote for two sitting councillors.

Friends of Mosman Park Bushland Volunteers convener Sue Conlon distributed the fl yer urging people to vote for new candidates Andrew Maurice and David Prestney in the North ward.

The fl yer, which said it was issued by the bush group, said some councillors had reduced their support for volunteer community groups, which would affect the work the groups did.

It said both Mr Maurice and Mr Prestney had indicated willingness to understand the needs of volunteer groups.

Sitting councillor Zenda Johnson disputed the claims and said she was disappointed the Friends had chosen to dis-tribute the fl yer.

“The Friends of Mosman Park Bushland have received unprecedented funding over the last two years for projects that fall outside the town’s plan for overall care of the bush,”

she said.“Her paragraph about re-

duced support could not be further from the truth.

“I was one of only two coun-cillors who objected to the proposed cuts in bush care funding in the last budget, as I appreciate its importance in the environment.”

Ms Johnson complained to Mosman Park returning offi cer Ron Camp who told Ms Conlon to add more contact details to her fl yer to technically comply with the Local Government Act.

Back-pedalling on bike pathA bike path that would triple

the cost of roadworks in City Beach has been put on hold for six months.

Councillors agreed to defer the resurfacing of part of The Boulevard until a bike plan for the whole town was complete.

Roads boss Chris Colyer said the plan was not likely to be fi nished in six months because the Department of Transport wanted the council to timetable

it for 18 months.Mayor Simon Withers said the

council should not build any more bike paths on roads until new standards were adopted.

“In the next six months we are going to set standards for bike paths,” he said.

A committee had been told it would cost about $190,000 to widen The Boulevard between Durston Road and Templetonia Crescent.

Part of the $5million project to conserve Doyle Court, in Rokeby Road, and build four storeys of offi ces behind it, has stalled because of a glut of of-fi ces in Subiaco.

On Tuesday night, Subiaco councillors voted to recommend a two-year extension to the ap-proval the local development assessment panel had granted in October 2013.

McDonald Jones Architects told the meeting that the owners, Winston Holdings, had delayed building the offi ce block because they were worried they would not be able to fi nd tenants for it.

Planning approval for Doyle Court’s conservation and addi-tion was due to expire about a week ago.

Winston Holdings still plans to proceed with the conservation part of the project.

“Due to market conditions with regard to offi ce space in the Subiaco area, the owners have delayed proceeding with the construction of the four-storey addition until there is some certainty that the completed building will be fully tenanted,” the architects said.

“Preparations have been made for the conservation works to proceed, a contract has been signed and a building permit application submitted.”

The offi ce block development is the latest DAP-approved project whose developers have asked for more time before building.

Standard development approv-als are valid for two years.

Earlier this year, the owners of a planned and approved $60mil-lion, eight-storey offi ce block in Seddon Street, Subiaco, success-

fully asked the council and the DAP for a similar extension.

They said their project – ap-proved in April last year – was complex and would need to be delayed to coordinate with the $120million redevelopment of the nearby Subiaco Pavilion market site.

Last year, another developer, architects Meyer Shircore and Associates, asked the DAP for extra time to build their four-storey offi ce block at 19-27 Catherine Street, Subiaco.

The $8million building – op-posite a row of heritage terrace homes – had been approved in March 2012 and again in August with some changes.

The DAP said an extension was not possible and that the developers would have to submit a new development application.


Australian ‘first’ for CT scannerSpinal surgeon Paul Taylor

performed Australia’s first surgery using an in-theatre CT scanner at the Mount Hospital last week.

The Brainlab Airo Mobile Intraoperative CT (Airo) is ideal for cranial, spine and trauma procedures.

It produces high-resolution CT images, which increase surgeon confi dence and supports advanced minimally-invasive surgery.

The hospital installed one of the fi rst Airos in the southern hemisphere earlier this month and is looking forward to more of its accredited surgeons using

the large-bore, mobile, 32-slice CT scanner.

Dr Taylor, who is chairman of Mount Hospital’s medical advi-sory committee, has previously used similar navigation systems and was happy with last week’s surgery.

“I had the perfect patient to utilise this technology. It al-lowed me to place screws into the patient’s spine via computer-generated navigation, and then to CT scan the patient while still under anaesthetic to ensure that the screws were in the correct position,” Dr Taylor said.

Hospital deputy general man-ager Marc Foley said: “The Airo

allows us access to CT images of the patient’s anatomy while they are still in the operating room, letting surgeons make decisions rapidly and change course if required.

“This helps to both save time and, when combined with our image-guided surgery system, enables greater surgical ac-curacy.

“Airo has the potential to change daily practice in the surgical space and can be used in virtually any standard-sized operating room.

“Mount Hospital is thrilled to be the fi rst hospital in Australia to be using this technology.”

The Airo will give surgeons to access images of patients while they are on the operating table.

Training wheelsPeppermint Grove coun-

cillors have two weeks to comment on the WA Local Government Association’s suggestion that local council-lors do mandatory training.

Peppermint Grove CEO John Merrick said WALGA was asking a somewhat philosophical question of the councillors.

Mr Merrick emphasised the importance of councillors.

“With $4.4billion in annual revenue and $27.6billion of non-fi nancial assets under management, the local gov-ernment sector requires competent and well-qualifi ed political leadership,” he said in the report.

When I tell people I’m a teacher of maritime English they often look puzzled.

But when I explain that maritime English is to the in-ternational shipping industry what aviation English is to in-ternational aviation, they then usually nod their heads as they see the comparison.

Under international regula-tions, airline pilots are required to have an adequate command of the English language to be able to communicate with air traffi c controllers in whatever country they’re fl ying, as well as to communicate with pilots of other airlines.

Safety is the major considera-tion, of course, because airline pilots cannot be expected to speak in dozens of languages

– English is the international language of the skies.

English is also the interna-tional language of the sea.

So the International Maritime Organisation has stipulated that masters of foreign-going ships over 500 tonnes have to have an adequate command of English, and they’ve even promulgated some standard marine commu-nication phrases.

These cover a huge range of situations, including ship-to-ship communications, ships talking to ships’ pilots who help them in and out of foreign ports, as well as vessel traffi c services, that control all movements of vessels in ports and harbours around the world.

I’m a former Royal Australian Navy instructor offi cer and in

the past 15 years of my working life I have taught English as a second language, specialising in maritime English.

This has taken me to the cities of Alexandria (Egypt), Rotterdam (Holland), Rostock (Germany) and also to Qinhuangdao, Dalian and Shanghai in China, where I’ve taught cadet deck offi cers and cadet engineers at mari-time universities and shipping companies.

It’s also taken me to the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology in Japan, and on three voyages on that uni-versity’s 79m training ship, the Umitaka Maru.

On one occasion on the Umitaka Maru, we were sailing south from Tokyo Bay to Bali and our voyage plan had us passing the islands of Iwo Jima and Guam, before entering Philippine waters.

I was leaning over the navigation table with the captain, checking our po-sition, because there had been warnings of some sporadic pirate activity in the area we were going to be passing through.

The captain turned to me and said: “I have to make arrangements for the pilot.”

I was puzzled because I was not aware of any intended stops before we arrived at Bali and I didn’t think we needed a pilot to help us navigate unknown waters before our desti-nation, which was Benoa Harbour.

“You need a pilot, cap-tain?” I asked in surprise.

“No, no – I want to make preparations in case there are pilots,” he said.

Then the penny dropped. “Ahah!” I said. “So we will make plans in case of pirates, right?”

“Yes, yes,” said the captain, with a smile.

That afternoon the crew and cadets did take some anti-pirate measures, which included rig-ging rolls of barbed wire around the side rails of the ship to deter boarders, as well as rigging ropes to trail in the water away from the ship’s hull to foul the propellers of any small vessels that came alongside without authorisation.

Two extremely high-pressure fi re hoses were also spraying sea

water high into the air 24 hours a day as a visual warning to any would-be intercepting craft.

We also maintained extra visual and radar watches to detect any approaching boats.

Fortunately, our passage was without incident.

I’m currently negotiating with an Indonesian university in Bali where I’m aiming to deliver a train-the-trainer course for English teachers in that coun-try, so the institution can itself teach maritime English.

I can think of worse places to be located and doing something which gives me a lot of personal satisfaction while at the same time fostering good relations with our northern neighbour.

in recent years: teaching maritime English.

Coach of the year Warren Vickers, right, with award sponsor Josh Lau-ren, from Centro Chambers Insurance Brokers, Cottesloe.

Top award for tennis coachNedlands tennis coach

Warren Vickers proved himself an ace when he was named coach of the year at an industry awards ceremony last weekend.

Warren runs his business Tennis Excellence at Nedlands Tennis Club.

Judges said: “With Warren at the helm, club membership has increased year on year, largely as a result of his high-quality coaching programs, fl exibility and excellent marketing initia-tives.”

He runs coaching programs seven days a week and is the weekend league coordinator and junior league coordinator.

There was an increase of up to 55% in league membership in the past 12 months.

Warren also runs a weekly community club for juniors and has started a social league for adult members and non-members.

As well as working at Nedlands Tennis Club, Warren was hailed for donating prizes to schools and clubs.

Tennis aces including Alicia Molik and Perth’s rising star Maddison Inglis were at the ceremony at the State Reception Centre in King’s Park on Friday.

Marguerite Anklesaria will join Susan Ngan on Claremont council’s audit and risk man-agement committee.

Usually only one community member sits on the commit-tee, but councillor Alastair Tulloch was in favour of two.

“We should say thank you very much and appoint them both,” Dr Tulloch said.

Claire Brittain is staying on the foreshore advisory commit-tee and will be joined by Ian Hunter and Robert Brereton.

Rosemary Hunter and Karen Kaard have taken spots on the museum advisory committee.

School verge parking banned

Mosman Park has banned parking on verges outside Mosman Park Primary School.

Over the next two weeks, signs banning parking on the verge at the intersection of Solomon and Victoria streets will be installed.

Parking will also be banned on the verge in front of the school in Victoria Street, from the corner of Solomon Street west to the loading bay.

In an email to the school, Mosman Park senior ranger Des Warner said the council was worried about the safety of children trying to cross the road from between cars parked on the verge. They were also worried about damage to the verge grass and kerb.

“I understand this may incon-venience some parents but my intentions are based on safety concerns raised by residents and noted by myself,” he said.

“I will do my best to be on site throughout the fi rst few weeks of the new term to advise driv-ers of the changes and request they make arrangements to col-lect their child from a different location in the future.”

Mr Warner said repeat offend-

ers would be fi ned.School principal Alison Robb

said the restrictions had been initiated in response to parent, staff and resident concerns about traffi c and student safety.

“We are very keen to encour-age students walking to school so we’re working with the Town of Mosman Park to increase pedestrian safety in the area around Mosman Park Primary School,” she said.

Mosman Park will fi ne parents who repeatedly park on the verge out-side Mosman Park Primary School.

New members at Claremont

Wheels fall off free parking pushA bid to extend free parking

on Sundays in support of new weekend markets in Subiaco’s CBD was cut short at Subiaco council on Tuesday night.

Councillor Julie Matheson introduced a motion to shake up local parking rules by introduc-

ing three hours of free parking in several council-owned carparks around the city centre as a mat-ter of urgent business.

Ms Matheson argued it was urgent because parking signs would need to be changed quickly before the new Markets on Rokeby – which could draw between 25,000 and 50,000 people

– opened on October 31.A staff report said the targeted

carparks – Rowland Street, Park Street, Forrest Street, Barker Road, Churchill Avenue and Railway Road – raised $12,000 each quarter from normal park-ing fees.

Staff said it would cost $14,000 to change signs and reprogram

ticket machines, with potentially the same amount needed again for further changes to signs.

In her motion, Ms Matheson said the change would help overcome negative public per-ceptions that Subiaco was a diffi cult and expensive place to park.

Mental program helps seniors stay A program helping keep

older West Australians out of hospital has been recognised with a Mental Health Good Outcomes Award.

The Shenton Park Hospital in the Home service, run by City Lower West Older Adult Mental Health Service, won the University of WA school of psychiatry and clinical neurosciences award for improved outcomes in sen-iors’ mental health.

Hospital in the Home offers acute mental health

assessment and manage-ment for seniors who would otherwise require inpatient care.

The service meant a broader range of treatment options were available to help people avoid hospital admission or reduce the time they spent in hospital.

“The Hospital in the Home program has the abil-ity to be creative and fl ex-ible, which has benefi ted seniors, team members and the wider service,” Mental Health Minister Helen Morton said.

A service evaluation

demonstrated the pro-gram’s significant and positive impact, with improved quality of life and well-being for older adults and a reduction in the length of stay required in hospital.

More than 90% of people who used the service said they would recommend it to others, largely because of the quality of staff and a preference to be at home rather than in hospital.

The Mental Health Good Outcomes Awards recog-nise excellence in mental health across WA.

Samantha’sputs the funinto day care

Yoga, singing, dancing and bush walks are all part of the fun at Samantha Folan’s fam-ily day care in Shenton Park.

Samantha has been named WA winner in the 2015 Excellence in Family Day Care Awards.

She is now in the running to be named 2015 National Family Day Care Educator of the Year later this month.

Family Day Care Australia CEO Carla Northam said there had been more than 2000 award nominations from parents this year.

“The overwhelming response from parents refl ects the im-portant role family day care is playing in the lives of working families around the country,” she said.

“Samantha is an incredibly passionate early childhood education and care profes-sional, who values each and every child’s education and well-being.”

The national winners will be announced on October 24.

Crop circlescan stay

A City Beach artist is al-lowed to keep his verge crop circles after Cambridge coun-cillors revoked an order to remove the blue metal.

John Major, of Lentara Crescent, said: “I have been to hell and back over this.”

He asked what action would be taken against dozens of verges with artifi cial turf that did not comply and was told the council responded to com-plaints.

“You have enough people in City Beach who like dobbing everyone in,” he said.

Councillors were told the policy on what was allowed on verges was being reviewed.

Councillor Rod Bradley said some smaller blue metal was already permitted.

“What we are talking about is a couple of millimetres,” he said.

Councillor Corinne MacRae, who chaired the committee that had earlier supported removing the gravel, said she had driven past Mr Major’s house.

“The photos made the verge look worse than it is,” she said.

“My husband was with me and said, ‘What is wrong with that?’

“It is lovely. I particularly liked the snake.”

Councillor Colin Walker said the verge spoilt the street and he was worried it would set a precedent. • See letter page 34

The Westcoast Community Centre will explain its work to western suburb councils and its need for funding.

The centre’s chairwoman, Christine Palmer, and program manager, Jean Harvey, all but asked Peppermint Grove coun-cillors for funding at Tuesday’s council agenda briefi ng.

Ms Palmer told shire presi-dent Rachel Thomas the cen-tre would soon give similar presentations to other western suburb councils.

Ms Thomas advised them to return to a council meeting after this weekend’s local gov-ernment elections and present to the new council.

Now we all know it’s a “Buyers’ Market” and the reason we all know this is because the press has told us so and are predicting further falls in property prices. And because people generally believe what they read in the press they then act as if it has already happened – which makes it happen – but, be warned. Your luck can change in an instant just as it did when prices fell 20% in the GFC and bounded back up 15% overnight just a few months later.

Now, sure, the economy is a bit all over the place, and yes, there has been some job losses and true, the prices have come back on some properties from the height of the boom, but Buyers…do not get too cocky. Don’t say things like “we will wait until they are desperate” or “we haven’t seen the worst of it yet” or “they’re dreaming, don’t they know it’s a Buyers’ Market?” Be careful, because it just may not happen. Also take time to think about how you would feel if you were The Sellers in these circumstances. Generally (and yes, not always) properties are priced with the

market in mind, so they have already been “discounted” back from boom prices. So it might be a “Buyers’ Market” – but it’s not a “Stealers” market.

The property market in Western Australia in my opinion is a lot more robust than people think. We are living in one of the most glorious places on earth and the p o p u l a t i o n is growing, and any f luctuat ions in property prices is a p e r f e c t l y normal event,

market. The beauty about the property

market is that if the market drops everyone is in the same boat – it’s not like just your shares fall, all properties drop so it’s quite easy to sell what you’ve got and buy what you want in any market and not lose anything – in fact if you are upgrading you are making money in a

falling market! Then if you have investment properties you can cushion the blow with rental income that will keep you buoyant - can’t do that with shares! So it’s in a falling market where the

So don’t be a sheep and follow e v e r y o n e else, because the really smart buyers are buying now. They understand that prices are at the lowest they have been in 10 years and they don’t

care if they drop a little bit more because they’ll come right back up again. So let me tell you what I predict will happen. More and more buyers will cotton on to this fact and start buying, and then the sheep will all follow thinking “oh gosh, everybody is starting to buy so we better buy too!”

So then they will buy, which will make the market turn, drive the prices up, and all those buyers who are waiting for The Sellers to get “desperate” will have missed the boat and will have to pay more.

So my advice is – forget about what the market is doing, or what it’s going to do and just look at the property, decide if you like it, and if you do, just go ahead and make an offer at what you consider a fair price, because when the market turns (and it will) the property that you really wanted may just not be there anymore, and even if it is, you might just have to pay a lot more for it.

And if you’re an investor – make your move now – investors are coming back into the market despite rental prices being down at present, because they realise that things can only go up from here and they want to be right there when it happens.

BUYERS SHOULDN’T GET TOO COCKY!

Halloween crackdown

Cottesloe offi cers say they are not the fun police, but they will be cracking down on van-dals this Halloween, October 31.

Sergeant Carol Vernon, from Cottesloe Police, said they had sent out letters to local businesses advising they had the right to refuse to sell eggs, fl our, paint and water balloons in the lead up to Halloween.

“Young people need to be mindful not only about the damage they can cause to property but also the damage they can cause to their reputation,” she said.

“They could get a crimi-nal record.”

Halloween parties where large numbers of young people gather have caused big problems in previous years.

Last year police spoke to 105 juveniles at the an-nual Halloween party in Peppermint Grove.

Five of the them were drunk, and two were given move-on notices.

The year before, police confiscated more than 500 eggs from gangs of Halloween hoons intent on splattering local homes.

School computers stolen

Computers were sto-len from two schools on the last weekend of the holidays.

Rosalie Primary School had its front door smashed and a laptop stolen, while Perth Modern had six computers stolen.

Wembley Acting Senior Sergeant Murray Geneff said the burglaries hap-pened on October 10.

He said school holidays generally had a higher rate of break-ins.

Easy heist for BMW, Porsche thieves

Two cars – a BMW and a Porsche – were stolen from a Nedlands home where the front door had been left unlocked this week.

The thieves entered the Cooper Street home on the night of October 12.

The keys to the blue 2000 BMW E39 and the beige 2005 Porsche Cayenne sedan were on a table in the entry to the house.

The BMW was found abandoned on Reid Highway on Tuesday after a police chase.

Acting Senior Sergeant Murray Geneff said a man was driving the car.

The Porsche had not been found when the POST went to press.

Woman charged over syringe threatA woman walking near

Subiaco Oval was threat-ened with a syringe and told she would be killed if she did not hand over everything she had.

Police have charged a 23-year-old woman with one count of stealing and

one count of aggravated armed robbery.

They allege her victim was walking down the street when the attacker threatened her and ripped off her necklace on October 8.

Police will also allege that on the same day

she had got into a taxi at Subiaco Square and stolen the driver’s phone.

She was arrested the next day and appeared in court on October 10.

She was remanded in custody and will reappear in court on October 21.

Telstra workeron 40 charges

A lawyer for a former Telstra worker said that at his next court appear-ance, his client would enter pleas to 40 charges of stealing as a servant.

The worker is alleged to have stolen Telstra iPads and phones valued at more than $250,000.

Last Thursday, his bail was extended after his lawyer said his client needed to get legal advice.

The man is due to ap-pear in Perth Magistrates’ Court on November 26.

CRIME STOPPERS1800 333 000

Police say two Subiaco crimes are among 57 charges against one woman.

The woman was de-tained in Bayswater and remanded in custody until she appeared in Perth Magistrates’ Court last Wednesday.

Her charges included burglary, robbery, steal-ing motor vehicles, and stealing.

Police said the woman had been involved in a robbery and a burglary at separate Rokeby Road shops in Subiaco last month.

She is due to appear in court on October 23.

Beach bonfire warning

Bonfi res on the beach will be targeted by Cottesloe police.

Acting Senior Sergeant Carol Vernon said bon-fi res were not allowed and often involved street drinking.

“What we have had in the past is a problem with people from the backpackers or the hotel using takeaway alcohol and going down directly in front of Eric Street and having bonfi res,” she said.

“It’s not allowed. Street drinking, reserve drinking and setting fi res are just not on.

“We will be targeting that.

“It’s not every night, all night – it’s usually a group of people now and then.”

Cottesloe police say there have been several car and house burgla-ries in recent weeks.

Sergeant Carol Vernon said a burglar entered a Floreat home through an unlocked door to steal house and car keys on Tuesday.

“We have had burgla-ries in Mosman Park and some burglaries in Floreat.

“The predominant of-fences [in Floreat] are stealing from cars.

“Burglars are still tar-geting easily disposable items such as iPhones, telephones and cash – which is suggestive of the offenders wanting quick access to cash, which may be drug related.

“If people are con-scious about locking doors and checking cars are not left with things exposed they shouldn’t have a problem.”

Sergeant Vernon said bicycles were also being targeted. “People should record the serial numbers of their bikes,” she said.

There seems to be some incredibly muddled thinking in Cottesloe about the Perth Freight Link.

From a strategic planning viewpoint, anything that is done south of the river, be it the freight link or an outer harbour, is good for Cottesloe.

The only bad outcome is if nothing happens, because freight through the suburb will inevitably increase.

There are signifi cant issues for those affected by the link, or the outer harbour, but these are not issues for Cottesloe as such and it is disingenuous to pretend they are.

Thank goodness there are

some level heads on the council who appreciate this.

Re leakage through Cottesloe from the link: even the quoted 42% leakage would mean Curtin Avenue truck traffi c in 2050 would be the same as it is now, hardly a killer argument.

But GPS technology exists now that allows trucks to be tracked and automatically tolled on prohibited routes.

From a wider planning per-spective, we should seek and support the very best solu-tion for our south-of-the-river friends – possibly a tunnel – and for our North Fremantle friends, but if a southern route is stymied, the pressure

will build on Curtin Avenue with huge negative impact on Cottesloe.

A longer-term solution is the outer harbour at Kwinana.

In the interim, Fremantle is our major container port and we should not ignore the rising transport access requirement.

The Roe 8 extension can serve both options, so it is logical for this to proceed with appropriate environmental care.

The next stage, access to the Fremantle port, will need to be creative and rigorously de-signed to protect the fabric and environment of the established suburbs it passes through.

But those who would present

themselves as representatives of Cottesloe need to understand the true impact of this issue on our suburb and advocate accordingly.

What a jolly surprise to fi nd a yellow plastic bag loosely opened and sitting on top of our green waste bag, on our verge.

We are a family with three young kids who are hassling us every day about having a pet dog.

Yet we resist, mainly for two reasons: we don’t want to be stranded in Perth and not be able to travel for holidays; and we do not want to have to walk the dog and pick up its poo every day, as we know none of our kids will do after the fi rst week of getting a pet!

So, saying that, I fi nd it very hard to stay calm when I fi nd in my green waste bags a re-volting opened smelly poo bag chucked carelessly by someone who clearly made sure not to be seen.

Footy day patrols bad for residentsI am opposed to Subiaco

council’s tendering for more parking rangers on football days (“20 more rangers”, POST, October 10).

While the intent may be to protect local parking, it ends up giving residents a hard time.

From the many complaints I have received, it appears to be mostly residents (and their visitors) going about their nor-mal lives who are nabbed on football days.

They are used to the normal parking zoning of two hours.

It’s hard to break that habit and be alert to football dates when there is no parking without permits, especially if you don’t follow the game.

Patrolling the two-hour limit would be a far fairer system.

appreciated.

Smelly surprise on Subi verge

How to preventbig ugly homesin our towns

I support Mosman Park coun-cillor Zenda Johnson’s concerns about current urban planning practices (“Four battle for North ward heart”, POST, October 3).

Ms Johnson said homes were becoming over-sized and over-height, and were given reduced setbacks with less open space, while overshadowing and over-looking neighbours.

My wife and I encountered all those things with an exten-sion to a house near ours, and our endless complaining got us absolutely nowhere.

Ms Johnson was about the only person, out of the hundreds of councillors in Perth I contacted, who showed some interest in my idea that no concessions at all should be given to the state govern-ment’s residential design codes.

My idea of a blanket ban on council discretion would avoid all those building issues Ms Johnson was worried about.

Our street’s a freewaySpeed, not parking problems, is the major prob-

lem for Nedlands council at the Mt Claremont shopping centre.

Hoons drive up and down the “Asquith freeway” at 60kmh to 70kmh when the limit is supposed to be 50kmh.

There are no speed limit signs.There are stop signs at the intersections of

Strickland and Adderley streets, but very few vehicles stop.

We see very few rangers around here, and when we do, they go up one lane and down the next.

The Asquith freeway is a bus route, and there are a couple of retirement villages nearby, as well as a doctors’ surgery.

People cross the street on gophers or with walk-ing frames to get to the pharmacy.

Speed signs would help, or speed humps, or roundabouts, before we have a major accident.

Mt Claremont reader Susan Strobel envisages Aboriginal artwork improving the view of the convention centre’s huge grey roof from King’s Park. Photo: Paul McGovern

Turn that ugly grey roof into a work of art

As an incidental tourist looking for the wildflower show in King’s Park recently (not easily found, by the way, what with signs lack-ing), I stumbled across the Aboriginal Art and Craft Gallery – the “preferred gov-ernment supplier”.

Then, coming out again, under the lookout off Fraser Avenue, what did I behold?

There, on the green lawn, sat a young tourist with a colouring-in book on her knees, totally oblivious to the grey shed roof in the view below!

My mind clicked: what if Aboriginal artists could colour in and embellish the convention centre’s wasted rooftop space?

This boomerang-shaped roof embraces the buildings behind it, as if to welcome the newcomer mob of Johnny-come-lately high-rises.

We are all lucky guest visi-tors to Noongar land here.

We owe the fi rst owners of the land around King’s Park a truly Aboriginal landmark.

Here’s to recycling an ugly shed roof, turning it instead into a giant, artwork.

I know from our overseas guests that it is the wonderful works of indigenous artists that most fascinate interna-tional tourist visitors, and not the business buildings of Perth city.

Susanne StrobelMayfair Street, Mt Claremont

A letter circulated from Cottesloe mayor Jo Dawkins says the Perth Freight Link (PFL) will result in negligible increase in traffi c through Cottesloe and that local roads will be regulated.

All this would lessen the impact on Cottesloe, she said.

Premier Colin Barnett and Main Roads WA espoused “roads will be regulated”, that is, trucks will be banned from local roads.

Then, when asked for docu-mentation for this, they all changed position to “could be regulated”, “it’s the sensible thing to do” and “this is the most likely scenario”.

The latest documented posi-

tion from Main Roads is: “... 11% of the 3000 containers travel on Port Beach Road [Curtin Avenue].

“With the PFL, it is expected these trucks will continue to travel northbound to service industrial areas in the northern suburbs.

“Heavy vehicle traffi c through the western suburbs will con-tinue as it does currently, but will only be a small proportion of heavy vehicle movements to and from the port.

“Equally, the western suburb route will remain, as it is today, a restrictive access vehicle (RAV) 4 network route.”

With this regime, container trucks now using Curtin Avenue can continue to use it, so it is logical that by 2023, when container movements go from 3000 to 13,200 per day as predicted by Fremantle Ports, truck movements will increase by four times.

Main Roads showed the coun-cil drawings of its preferred position to join link/Stirling Highway traffic with Curtin Avenue at Leighton.

To me, all the above sounds like large increases in traffi c volumes for Cottesloe.

J.F. WalshGrant Street, Cottesloe

It all sounds like more trucks for Cottesloe

No logic in GRVrating system

I notice that Subiaco council rates have been an issue in the local government elections.

I understand that our rates are calculated by multiply-ing the Landgate gross rental value (GRV) of properties by an amount in the dollar deter-mined by the council.

The rates are used to provide all the services of the council except waste disposal and emergency services that are funded by additional charges.

If the GRV of a property increases, as mine has by 45% since 2013-14, the council decreases the amount in the dollar to buffer the rise.

However, this is only by 10%.The result is an increase in

my rates of 30%.What is the logic for basing

rates on the GRV?If the GRV of a property in-

creases, do council expenses increase by the same amount?

I think not.If Landgate determines a

higher GRV for a property, does the owner then have a greater capacity to pay higher rates?

I think not.It may make more sense to

base the rates on the maximum number of residents to be serviced by the council, that is, the number of bedrooms in each house.

That could be combined with special area rates for localities that require more maintenance.

Before someone says that local government legislation requires councils to use the GRV, I say change the legisla-tion.

This is an open letter to Nedlands MP Bill Marmion regard-ing the City of Perth Bill.

Like the vast majority of Subiaco’s South ward residents, I share the concerns of Tony and Beverley Noakes regarding the City of Perth Bill (“Tell MPs not to vote for Perth Bill”, Letters, POST, October 10).

Can you guarantee that clauses 29 and 53 of the Bill will not ex-pose King’s Park to development pressures?

And can you guarantee that clauses 17 and 18 will not forcibly move 1800 Subiaco residents into the remote and now problematic City of Perth without their having any say in the matter?

We value the integrity of our mayor and councillors.

And do you think residents will blame you for not taking a stand on these matters on their behalf, if the City of Perth Bill becomes an Act?

Do you think it is right that

they should have to turn to the Nationals and Labor to represent them on these issues?

Residents have long been waiting for a proper response from you on these matters.

Anna VanderbomMonash Avenue, Nedlands

Must Subiaco voters turn to Laborand the Nats, Mr Marmion?

Bill Marmion

I enjoyed the campaign trailI would like to thank Cottesloe’s

forthcoming, friendly and frank East ward residents whom I have met recently as a council candidate walking the campaign trail.

Should I be elected, I will bring my own energetic approach to the issues they have raised with me.

These included the potential impact of further trucks from the Perth Freight Link, the present unacceptable levels of truck traffi c in Curtin Avenue, parking, daily speeding through school crossing restricted areas (crossing guards want a higher police presence), dogs walked off leads, ad hoc de-velopment decisions, big signs on railway land and lack of fair con-sultation about issues that matter.

I like our dog beaches, want the amenity of the Indiana site im-proved, want a safer Curtin Avenue

and Marine Parade, and I oppose the freight link in its present form.

I support completion of the Enquiry by Design planning con-sultation process towards a sustain-able Cottesloe and I want the best we can have in our green spaces.

I was pleasantly surprised by the scattering of (mostly) carefully subdivided blocks, and I enjoyed the views from and within hilly east Cottesloe.

It has made me think I need to vary my walking pattern to enjoy more fully this magic place of ours, though my deaf 15-year-old dog may complain.

Ultimatum to ‘ice addict’

visited the home since last Friday.

“A follow-up inspection will happen,” Mr Buckley said.

“The health notice issued last Friday required the occupant to undertake some maintenance tasks within the property.

“If, at the next inspection, the tasks are not completed, the town has the power to declare the house unfi t for human habi-tation until they are completed.

“If it does come to that, it is an offence for any person to occupy the house.”

The man, a property million-aire, inherited at least four properties from his father, who died in May last year.

The properties are in the name of Murray Burton and Charles Gallucio, who work for Leederville accounting and bookkeeping fi rm Farina Nominees.

Two months ago, Mr Burton said he and Mr Gallucio were

joint trustees of the father’s estate (“Ice addict is worth mil-lions”, POST, August 22).

Mr Burton would not say how much money the man received from him.

“We are trying to administer the estate as best we can,” Mr Burton said at the time.

“I can’t evict the son. I can’t sell the properties.

“We ... ensure any benefi ciar-ies are provided with funds for living.”

Doggy do helps poor kidsPresbyterian Ladies’ College

Year 2 students picked up dog poo for pocket money so they could buy impoverished children Christmas presents.

Each student was asked to choose the age and gender of a child to send gifts to and then had to raise $30 in pocket money from chores to buy the presents.

PLC Year 2 teacher Aleasha Franetovich said the idea tied in with teaching subjects such as geography and money.

“ W e w a l k e d d o w n t o Woolworths and Coles and looked at how much things would cost,” she said.

“And they get to see where in the world their gift is going on the map.

“They go all over the world – to Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

“It also taught them how money has value.”

Natasha Whittome (7) said her box of gifts was for a boy aged between fi ve and nine.

“I chose a boy because I’ve got two brothers,” she said.

She said she spent more than $30 of hard-earned pocket money on the gifts, which included a Frisbee and toy aeroplane.

“I had to pick up the dog poo, unpack the dishwasher and

make breakfast,” she said.Her classmate Aria Natta

(7) fi lled her box with toys and convenience items like tooth-brushes and soap.

She said her chores included picking up the dog poo and mak-ing her family members’ beds.

“For each bed I made I would get only $1,” she said.

The kids said they couldn’t believe some children would want toothbrushes more than anything for Christmas.

The gifts were shipped off this week and will be distributed through charity organisation Samaritan’s Purse.

Lloyd’s dark report shinesThe judges commented: “A

worryingly small number of this category’s entries fi t this description: an important news story, thoroughly researched and told well.

“Lloyd Gorman’s ‘Left in the Dark’ is one such. But for Lloyd’s efforts, the story would not have reached the general public.

“It ought give pause to any reader in our ageing Australia; the event happened in Subiaco,

but has much wider resonance. Who knew this could happen to frail tenants in one of the world’s most affl uent cities?

“No other media reported it – a fact that should give us all pause.

“Lloyd’s other stories were also probing, well researched and clearly written, but ‘Left in the Dark’ was the clincher.

“It shows why suburban journalistic excellence still matters, whatever your suburb or region.”

Link adds tostress for all

The Perth Freight Link has residents who are likely to be affected up in arms.

Quality of life for residents of Cottesloe and many other parts of Perth is declining under the weight of increasing noise and air pollution as well as the loss of amenity that fl ows from ever-expanding road traffi c, along with a loss of open space to expanding roads and high-density housing.

Any solution to an ever-increasing and critical need for improved transport logistics that ignores the underlying driver of an ever-growing population will simply act as a band-aid to a symptom and will not deal with the real issue.

Over time, such an approach will eventually be overwhelmed by the needs of an ever-growing tide of additional people.

Any solution to Perth’s devel-oping traffi c gridlock that relies on cheap oil as a transport fuel is doomed to failure.

Globally, oil production is peaking.

Remarkably, despite a rising oil price, production of low-cost conventional oil has been fl at since 2004.

The only net increase in global oil and condensate sup-ply has arisen from the totally cash-fl ow-negative production of high-cost unconventional oil and condensate out of the US and Canada.

Rail using renewable energy is by far the most preferable short-term solution.

But a stable population will be required to end the need for expensive retrofitting of infrastructure into an existing urban environment.

Children in detentionare Australia’s shame

As a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of Asylum Seekers and Refugees, as well as the Rights of the Child, Australia is obliged to protect these vulnerable people, es-pecially children in its care in detention, whether in Australia, or on Nauru or Manus Island.

Australia, to its shame, can hardly claim to be doing this in practice.

In fact, it tries its best to pre-vent any information about the physical and mental abuse from coming out of detention centres.

The fact that the number of children on Manus and Nauru has dropped since the present government came to power is nothing to be proud of.

If one child is held in deten-tion, it is shameful.

I feel ashamed of Australia’s record on human rights and the excuses successive governments make to keep them there.

The slogans former prime minister Tony Abbott came up with – “Stop the boats! We’ve stopped the drownings at sea!”

– were quite meaningless.It can be debated that being

imprisoned indefinitely on islands, locked up without any hope of release, is worse than drowning at sea, not least because once imprisoned on these islands, their lives become worthless, without a future.

How can anyone condone the actions of the Australian government?

I thought a change to a more compassionate and caring Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, would bring some hope of change.

Sadly, the rhetoric is still the same and not acceptable to any self-respecting, decent human being.

Shame on the government for perpetuating this policy with limp excuses and the often re-peated slogan, which seems to be one of the Ten Commandments, written in blood: “They will never be settled in Australia.”

Carole MetcalfeOban Road, City Beach

On Saturday, October 10, my husband was returning from the shops in Subiaco.

As he crossed the road on the corner of Mouritzen Way, he tripped and fell heavily and was unable to stand up.

His plight was seen immedi-ately by a lady driving by, who quickly got to his side, followed by a builder working on the apartments nearby, and then a gentleman driving by.

They soon had him comfort-able with a headrest and shade to cover him, because it was

a hot day. They then called an ambulance and sent another person to direct it.

The lady then was able to fi nd my phone number and call me.

They all waited until the am-bulance arrived and he was in capable hands.

What kindness and helpful-ness shown by these passers-by.

Thank you to all these consid-erate people.

Kind strangers in Subi Centro

It was sad to read about Ted Smith and Tukurua (“I want to die in Tukurua, says Ted”, POST, October 3).

As we get older, our memories cause us to cling to what we know best.

The house Mr Smith has lived in for 43 years is for him his memory of happy times.

It gives his life purpose, it is his home.

I say “home” because it is not just a house to Mr Smith.

Tukurua’s buyer, Andrew Forrest, has presented himself as a benefactor.

After using his money to do good for the University of WA and other institutions he is now turning his vision towards refugees, Syrian or otherwise.

What a wonderful CV for Mr Forrest to take to his fi nal rest-ing place.

However, what about Mr Smith? At 81, he would become a refugee in a sense – no matter how much he would be selling his home for to Mr Forrest – because he would be losing his home.

Our home is not about owner-ship; it means much more, as, no doubt, Mr Forrest would also feel if one day he lost his money – all of it.

Mr Smith is not suffering from seller’s remorse – he is suffering from loss of identity, his connection to the home and the land he is one with.

How to really see the seaThe diffi cult art of painting

the sea is child's play for stu-dents at Beehive Montessori School in Mosman Park, thanks to NSW artist Mark Waller.

Mark, who is renowned for his beautiful and lifelike paintings of water and seaside landscapes, gave nine to 11-year-old students

at the school a lesson in how to paint the ocean in the lead-up to the school’s annual art exhibi-tion, Arte Ricca 2015.

The exhibition opens next Friday and will feature selected emerging and established art-ists, including Mark.

During his stay in WA, Mark visited Rottnest Island to sketch

for paintings he will exhibit in Arte Ricca.

Mark says his paintings are about elevating simple moments.

“Tiny discoveries are laden with wonder and life,” he said. “They need to be documented, highlighted, embraced and savoured.”

Arte Ricca opens at 6pm

on October 23 and runs until November 1.

From October 24, the open-ing times are 11am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays, and 8.30 to 10am and 2.30 to 4pm, Monday to Friday.

Funds from Arte Ricca support Beehive Montessori School’s capital gifting program.

Fair fever builds at St Thomas’sThere is a hum of excitement

at St Thomas Primary School in Claremont as parents and children prepare for what is shaping as their biggest spring fair yet.

A bumper crop of stalls is planned for the fair, which will run from noon to 4pm on Sunday, November 1.

“We will also have our own sideshow alley, with a bouncy castle and petting zoo,” said P&F president Ann Johnston.

“Each class is busy planning its own stall, including a white elephant stall, pre-loved kids’ clothes, a popcorn, lollies and toy store, cake-in-a-jar, tea and muesli.

“There will our famous Lovely Lemonade as well as kids’ craft stalls.”

Ann said parents had been busy planting out for the plant stall.

“There will also be lucky dips, lob-a-choc chocolate grid, a teddy bear raffl e, cake stalls and fresh produce.

Head along for a lunch of pizza or a sizzling sausage and there will be gourmet devonshire teas in the afternoon.

New school principal Justin Tuohy said he was amazed at the high level of parent and community involvement in the school.

“The fair is often the fi rst time young kids can go off indepen-

dently with their friends and enjoy rides,” he said.

“Because it’s in the safe school environment, everyone has a great time.

“Old St Thomas students who are now in high school use the St Thomas Fair as a great op-portunity to have a spontaneous reunion.”

P&F president Ann Johnston said all money raised would go back into the school to help fund resources for the students.

The school has 155 families and prides itself on its academic, art and sporting results.

For more information about the fair, phone St Thomas Primary on 9286 9500 or email [email protected].

An amazing race through Subiaco

Teams are gearing up for the Amazing Race-style Race Around Subi on Saturday, November 7.

From 9am to 1pm, teams of two to six can compete in a short or long course, according to their age and fi tness.

Along the way they will complete a range of fun and interactive challenges before reaching the fi nish line at the Subi Farmers’ Market.

There are prizes to be won and a free sausage sizzle at the end.

The race, organised by Subi Voice of Youth (SVY), is in its sixth year and last year 45 teams took part.

Subiaco mayor Heather Henderson said she would not be competing in this year’s race

but it was something the entire community could enjoy.

“Race around Subi is one of the most anticipated events each year, and it is wonder-ful to see the community get involved,” she said.

“A number of retail, hospital-ity and commercial shop fronts are involved, showcasing the diversity that Subiaco has to offer.”

Registration is free and is now open. Register your team on the city’s website at subiaco.wa.gov.au.

The race is being run in partnership with the Heart Foundation.

A trout by any other name

Over many years, many an-glers have reported catching northern species in the metro area.

There are the obvious ones like spanish mackerel, which are common visitors to our shores, and schools of big tuna and mar-lin that the northern currents bring south.

Then there are the reports of some really strange species being caught, usually from boats out wide in deeper water.

Some of the odder fi sh I have come across include spangled emperor, wahoo and even a sailfi sh.

Plenty of northern mangrove crabs have been reported over the years at Dongara, Kalbarri, the Swan River, Mandurah, Bunbury and Augusta and prob-ably many other locations, too.

A few years ago a strong cur-rent must have carried eggs or larvae all the way down the coast and the mud crabs settled into southern waters quite well.

I have not heard of any of these being caught over the past few years so it is possible the colder waters fi nally took their toll.

There have always been re-ports of coral trout being caught in metro waters, especially around Rottnest.

These fi sh turn out to be close relatives of coral trout, corona-tion trout, which are fairly com-mon in southern waters and taste just as good as their northern cousins.

I say this, but just the other day my son, Andrew, sent me a photo of what looked like a northern coral trout that he had caught off Rottnest.

Of course, I immediately thought he meant a coronation trout, but on closer examination I realised it was the real McCoy.

They look very similar, but the tail of the coronation trout is different and the overall colour is a bit darker, too.

Coral trout at Rottnest is great news, especially when you think that there might be more out there. I, for one, would be out in search of more.

The next thing you know there will be barramundi in the Swan and Canning rivers. Now that would be great news.

Talking of barramundi, the Broome Fishing Club and the Mary Island Fishing Club, based in Derby, had their annual inter-club competition in the Fitzroy River last weekend.

The top fi ve anglers from each club had their fi sh measured and the winning club was the one with the biggest total.

The Broome club was victori-ous, winning by nearly 2m and the longest barramundi of the competition, at 102cm, was caught by me!

I don’t get a chance to brag very often, so there it is.

Soap and water do the trick

Students at Iona Pre-Primary know there are germs on their hands if they don’t wash them – they have seen them.

Teacher Jayne Kaiko showed how they could use an ultra violet light kit to see the germs before and after washing their hands with soap.

In another activity, they shook hands with other children who had painted palms to represent germs to see that germs that cause diarrhoea and the fl u are easily shared.

As part of Global Handwashing Day this week, they learnt through song and art projects as well as through science about the importance of hand wash-ing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives all over the world.

Look at those germs … Teacher Jayne Kaiko got her Iona students, from left, Poppy Castiglione, India Huston and Charlotte Harding, to cough on their hands and then used ultra violet light to show how many bacteria there were. Photo: Billie Fairclough

Paint became germs to show Iona Pre-primary students Harriet Broad, left, and Will Strong how

easily bacteria are spread.

A thought-provoking season finale from Irish PlayersThe Irish Theatre Players

entered their one-act play, Voices in the Rubble, in the recent WA Dramafest and were awarded Best Actor, Best Actress and the coveted Dorothy Barber Award for Best Overall Production.

Now they are presenting their fi nal production for the year

and are promising it will be a very Irish experience for the audience.

They will stage Noel O’Neill’s Last Bus to Contrition, a funny, emotional and honest play set in 1960s regional Ireland.

It follows the lives of three Irish girls who are trying to understand the early years of their childhood.

It is a thought-provoking tale, delicately and insightfully por-trayed through the eyes of the young and older women.

The show will be at the Irish Club, which will take on the ap-pearance of a traditional Irish pub and shop.

The audience will be treated to a drink on arrival and a tasty supper provided by Hetty’s

Scullery Irish Bread at interval. The play will be performed at

the club in Townshend Road, Subiaco, on October 28, 29 and 31 and November 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13 and 14 at 8pm, with a matinee at 3pm on November 1. Tickets are $20, concession $15.

For bookings go to irishthe-atreplayers.com.au.

The gorgeous Princess is a terrifi ed little girl who desperately needs reassur-ance.

She is seven months old and has clearly had a tough start in life.

What she needs is a loving home where she will learn that not everyone is evil.

Because of her anxiety, she is not suited to a home with kids or other dogs.

To arrange to meet Princess, call the Dog’s Refuge Home in Shenton Park on 9381 8166.

ties as well as the cake judging, with fantastic prizes awarded on the day.

There’ll also be tea, coffee, home-made lemonade and a sau-sage sizzle as well as performances by guitarist Christian Thompson and the school choir.

North Fremantle Primary School is on the corner of John and Turton streets in North Fremantle.

For more information, call the school on 9335 2743.

Year 2s at North Fremantle are looking forward to showing visitors the delights of their school next Sunday.

The scientifi c narrative of evolution is bio-political, ac-cording to Jonathan Marks, professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina.

Professor Marks will argue that because of this, the study of human evolution is broad-er than the data provided by palaeontology, archaeology, and genetics.

In his talk at UWA, he will show that traditionally it has been considered more scientifi c to emphasise man’s continuity with the apes over his discontinuity.

In fact, evolution produces both patterns simultaneously – descent and modifi cation, he says.

And although people may sometimes be uncomfort-able with it, narratives of human macro-evolution are invariably bound up with narratives of human micro-evolution.

Professor Marks’ talk is at 6pm on Wednesday, October 28, in the Theatre Auditorium at the University Club.

The talk is free, but RSVP is required via ias.uwa.edu.au/lectures/marks.

Gearing up doctors to help homeless

It was a family affair when Homeless Healthcare in West Leederville took delivery of three new vans.

The vehicles were contributed by the Jeanetta Winkless Foundation, and members of the Winkless family turned out to make the presentation.

The vans will be loaded with equipment and medicine so that doctors and nurses from Homeless Healthcare can head out to help Perth’s marginalised people.

They set up clinics in drop-in cen-tres and women’s refuges and also help people living on the streets.

For family patriarch Max Winkless, providing wheels was the ideal way of helping the service, because cars and trucks have been his life-long business.

Back in the late 1940s, Max (87), who now lives in West Perth, sold his much-loved Harley Davidson

motorbike while his young wife, Jeanetta, contributed her dowry so they could buy a share in a truck.

This one-truck business grew into a publicly-listed company.

Max and Jeanetta and their four children had a long history of phi-lanthropy and set up the Jeanetta Winkless Foundation in 2007, just before Jeanetta died.

The foundation enables the fam-ily to personally direct the distri-bution of donations and choose a local organisation so that family members can get involved.

Homeless Healthcare, formerly known as Mobile GP, was set up in 2008 by Dr Andrew Davies.

He recognised that the most ef-fective way to address the health needs of homeless people was to work collaboratively with social services.

In 2014-15, Homeless Healthcare provided 12,922 medical consulta-tions at 11 clinics.

Perth’s young ones can travel back in timeThis weekend’s Perth

Heritage Days events are free fun for everyone.

All events on October 17 and 18 are family friendly, but there are also activities specifi cally designed to captivate the im-aginations of young historians.

Start on Saturday by picking up a copy of Heritage Hound treasure hunt from the infor-mation desk at the Perth Town Hall.

Heritage Hound has put together a word search with a heritage theme and, for the observant, there is a spot the difference activity.

The activity sheet will help young people get the most out of Perth Heritage Days as they move round the city.

On Sunday, children can take a free ride on a camel and maybe have a think about the camels that were rested in the undercroft at the Perth Town

Hall when they returned with Ernest Giles from his South Australian expedition in 1875.

A short stroll down the road to the corner of Irwin and Murray streets, will take them to herit-age centre in the Old Central Fire Station.

On display will be the rarely-seen collection of vintage fi re appliances, dress-ups for kids and free rides on a vintage fi re engines.

On Saturday and Sunday, in the Perth GPO in Murray Street, author Alton Walley, a Wadjuck Noongar man, will be telling sto-ries from his recently published children’s book, Chunyart and the Cheeky Parrot.

Based on traditional Noongar life, it tells the story of a young boy going hunting for the fi rst time.

Bookings are required for this session via heritageperth.com.

Giving lightArtist Rebecca Baumann will talk

about her use of light in her art, both as as an activation device and a way to explore colour, duration and perceptual phenomena.

Hers is the last in the LightTALKS lecture series celebrating the 2015 International Year of Light.

Rebecca’s talk is at 6pm on Thursday, October 22, in the Universi ty Club’s Theatre Auditorium.

Flurry of finals action for WembleyAll senior and colt teams at

Wembley Amateur Football Club reached the fi nals in an outstanding year of achievement.

The club’s league and reserve teams reached the preliminary fi nals but missed out on grand fi nal spots.

However, the colts and the club’s third and fourth-grade teams all made their grand fi nals.

The colts had a tight tussle for the entire game against Collegians and going into the last quarter they were three goals behind. They rallied but went down by fi ve points.

The fourths went into their grand fi nal against Hamersley Carine having not lost a game all year.

Wembley were challenged for half a game but then stepped up a level to be comfortable winners.

Wembley forward Shaun Taylor kicked a game-winning seven goals.

The thirds were up against Whitfords, who went into the game undefeated.

It was a tough game and, luckily for Wembley, Whitfords did not capitalise on their chances and were only four goals in front going into the last quarter.

Some inspirational words from the

coach resulted in Wembley kicking the last fi ve goals of the game to win the premiership.

In another success for the club, Brody Pendlebury won the WAAFL best and fairest medal in the B-grade reserves competition.

Joint presidents Ash Clancy and Chris Shine said they were proud of all the club’s achievements.

They said it took players, partners, volunteers, sponsors and supporters with commitment and willingness to help to generate the level success the club had achieved.

Music keeps them forever young

A small choir that began in the Pangbourne Uniting Church in Wembley more than 50 years ago is still going to this day.

It was originally known as the Wembley Ladies’ Choir, but in 1998, when current musi-cal director Anne Casey took over and brought men into the choir, the name changed to the Wembley Entertainers.

Each month, the choir gives a concert for an aged centre and has been invited to sing at weddings and funerals.

The average age of the choristers is 80 and choir members believe music keeps them forever young.

The choir gives an annual public concert and this year it will be at 2pm on Sunday, October 25, at the All Saints Uniting Church in Floreat, on the corner of Berkeley Crescent and Kirkdale Avenue.

Tickets are $15 at the door and afternoon tea will be provided. For more information, ring Heather on 9341 4712.

WA was no laggardColonial WA’s reputation as a politically

backward, apathetic and ultra-conservative “laggard” is undeserved, Isla Macphail will argue in a paper for the Royal WA Historical Society.

Ms Macphail is about to submit her PhD on colonial history and has written WA’s electoral history up to 1901.

She says WA is often portrayed in historical studies as “a delinquent laggard” politically and in her talk will argue that these interpre-tations are largely unsupported by evidence and are misleading, if not mischievous.

She said she would suggest that WA’s politi-cal development was far from a belated and derivative imitation of the eastern colonies and was often ahead of them.

Her talk is at 6pm on Wednesday, October 21, at Stirling House, on the corner of Broadway and Clark Street, Nedlands. Refreshments available from 5.30pm and the bookshop will be open.

Japanese culture on a rollChildren of all ages experi-

enced Japanese culture in City Beach in the weekend.

The Perth Kodomo Festival in-cluded the traditional Japanese Shichigosan event, which cel-ebrates the growth and good health of children.

“Traditionally, boys aged three or five and girls aged three or seven are dressed in traditional costume, often for the fi rst time, to attend shrines and ceremonial events for the Shichigosan event,” festival chair Chiharu Fukumoto said.

He said that this year they had decided to open up the day, and children of all ages could try on the simple summer kimono, the yukata.

The Kodomo Festival was held at Hyogo Prefectural Government Cultural Centre in City Beach.

The festival is jointly hosted by the Australia-Japan Society of WA and the newly formed Australia Japan Youth Society.

Australia-Japan Society president Jean Stewart said: “The children’s festival, or traditionally the Shichigosan, is such a big part of Japanese culture and family life, so this was a wonderful way to reach out and help Japanese people living here while also shar-ing cultural experiences for Australian people.” Children of all ages took part in the sushi making competition at the Hyogo Centre in City Beach.

Trippers check out the little people

There will be a gnome on board the coach when the Dalkeith Road bus trippers head to Gnomesville in the Ferguson Valley.

They are taking their own gnome to add to the vast collection al-ready in place so that future visi-tors can enjoy the ever-expanding collection.

The trip will leave at 8.30am and return at 5pm on Wednesday, October 28.

Morning tea will be served during the drive south and, after exploring the gnome village, the tour will wend its way to a country venue for lunch where there are plenty of food options available.

The cost is $75 – including morn-ing tea and lunch.

There will be as little or as much walking as people want and chairs are also available.

For further information and bookings, call Maureen on 9381 9196 or Robin on 9457 5896.

State MP Peter Abetz will give a talk in Dalkeith on reducing human sex traffi cking through prostitution law reform.

Mr Abetz is the MLA for Southern River and was a pastor in the Christian Reformed Churches for 25 years before entering Parliament.

He will be the guest of the Dalkeith Anglican Church in Viking Road on Sunday, October 25.

There will be a traditional fam-ily service at 9am, followed by fi nger food, tea and coffee, with an opportunity to meet Mr Abetz before his talk.

It will fi nish at 11.30am and all are welcome. There is no charge.

Enjoy Perth from the waterWith summer just around the corner, it’s time

to dust off the bathers and head for the Swan River to try kayaking.

Why not head down to the Swan Canoe Club in Mosman Park on Sunday, October 18, between 9am and noon, to fi nd out if it is your kind of club?

For a gold coin donation, visitors can have a short paddle with an instructor and even join the club on the spot – just take your credit card.

The not-for-profi t club, which is near Mosmans, below Jabe Dodd Park, has kayaks and equipment that members can access at any time.

It runs classes and organises excursions and camps over the year.

Everyone is welcome, from young to old and experienced to complete novices.

You just need to be able to swim with a life jacket on.

There are classes for juniors on Tuesdays from 4.15 to 5.30. Ring Marion on 9384 1692 for more information. Last year’s open day saw lots of would-be paddlers having a go.

Vinnies on the moveSt Vincent de Paul Society

is planning to sell its Osborne Park depot and its administra-tion offi ce in Belmont to fund a new, bigger site in Canning Vale.

St Vincent de Paul Society CEO Mark Fitzpatrick said more and more people were falling into poverty resulting in an ever-increasing demand for the services of St Vincent de Paul Society.

Vinnies had recognised a need for some major changes to cope.

“Alarmingly, we forecast that demand for our services will increase by an incredible 50% in the next decade,” Mr Fitpatrick said.

“The society is in the process

of preparing to build and relo-cate to a new site in Canning Vale.”

He said the 25-year-old Osborne Park depot, which was currently the main service delivery facility, was reaching capacity.

An important area of funding the new premises would come from the sale of the group’s Ozanam House administra-tion offi ce in Belmont and the Osborne Park depot.

“In the coming weeks we will begin advertising these two properties with the proviso of a short-term lease back to the society until our new building is ready,” Mr Fitzpatrick said.

Works on the new site are ex-pected to start early next year.

Anyone for tennis this summer?

There will be an Eagles celebrity tennis match on centre court at the Dalkeith Tennis Club this Saturday.

It is all part of a series of free come-and-try days at the club for the next three Saturdays.

Coaches John Thorpe and Shaun Rose will run fun pro-grams for all ages from 2pm and the Eagles match is at 5pm, on October 17.

Tennis regulars and those who have never picked up a racquet are invited to head to the club between 2 and 6pm to enjoy free activities, includ-ing ANZ Tennis Hot Shots, speed-serve radar, hit the tar-get, return the coach’s serve, free coaching, free play, kids’ activities, a barbecue, prizes and more.

The kids will love the pet-ting zoo, bouncy castle and face-painter and can meet SpongeBob for a photo. It’s all free of charge.

Dalkeith Tennis Club presi-dent Lex Hardie said it would be a great day out for the whole family.

“The club tennis day prom-ises to be a lot of fun, and you don’t need to know how to play tennis to come along and join in,” he said.

“It might just be the start of a new interest and new friend-ships.”

Coaches honouredThe coaches at Dalkeith Tennis Club were

honoured at the WA tennis industry award night held at Frasers Restaurant.

Shaun Rose was one of seven state-wide nomi-nees for WA Club Coach of the Year and John Thorpe won WA Coach of the Year for talent development.

John has been a national talent development coach for Tennis Australia for nearly a decade and has developed many of WA’s national and internationally competitive players.

“Talent development seems like an around-the-clock task,” John said.

“We are always looking for that edge in techni-cal, physical and psychological development for all our players and helping them achieve their best can be a very satisfying pursuit.”

Shaun’s contribution to Dalkeith Tennis Club over the past fi ve years includes developing the Tennis Australia Hot Shots program and using modifi ed equipment to help fast-track the de-velopment of players aged six to 12.

He has also been instrumental in developing both junior and senior league teams.

Coaching and membership are always avail-able at the Dalkeith Tennis Club. They can be contacted at the Club ProShop on 9386 6906.

Detritus threatens the ocean

Before Max Lippiatt (11) and his sister Isobel (8) joined a small group of people col-lecting rubbish at City Beach they had thought it was a very clean beach.

Max, who had been to City Beach for a swim before joining the 11th annual Beach Clean Up for the Australian marine debris initiative, was in for a shock.

The group collected a huge array of rubbish and the data has been forwarded to the Tangaroa Blue Foundation.

Among the pieces of plastic, rope and paper collected were golf balls, ear plugs, band aids, nappy wipes and tissues. There was also a used baby nappy, condom and tampon.

Several thongs were found as well as a lens cover for a camera and half a bottle of vodka.

There were lots of food scraps, including chicken bones, fruit peel, chewing gum and pack-ets of sugar from the nearby restaurant.

In a short time the group had collected more than 600 cigarette butts from the beach.

The aim of the exercise was to gather information so that marine debris, litter and pollu-tion can be stopped at its source.

Heidi Taylor from the Tangaroa Blue Foundation says that every piece of rubbish on the beach resulted from one person’s actions and if they changed their behaviour then things could improve.

Max and Isobel Lippiatt were shocked at how much rubbish there was on their favourite beach.

Peter Hiatt, Hazel Warr and Patricia Hubbard won last Thursday’s triples competition from Derrick Dimbleby, Norm Underwood and Ireton Parker.

Des Lynch and Peter Channer won the pairs competition from Estelle Boak and Dan Chadwick.

The winners in Saturday’s social bowls were the team of Hazel Warr, Ireton Parker and Derrick D i m b l e b y f r o m Paul Scales, Norm

Underwood and Barry Caporn.

The Claremont team playing in Saturday’s J.B. O’Reilly Trophy at Cambridge club achieved a creditable second place, missing the aggregate by only 3pts. It augurs well for the pennant season.

Peter Hiatt won scroungers on Sunday from new club mem-ber Beau McGrechan.

Please remember to ring the club as as soon as possible to register your team

for the quiz night on October 23.

bowling

The weather contin-ued fi ne, though last Tuesday’s mixed fi eld of 16 needed only two rinks.

Best were Peter Wiesner, Ken Brooke, Barry Harper and Noelle Beasley with +17, while Peter Norris, Dawn Newton, Brian Jackson and Margaret Campbell came home with 12-up

The selectors did a great job putting together the sides for pennant practice days on Thursday and Saturday.

The turnouts were fairly good but more and consistent players are needed to field good pennant teams.

The highest score over the two days was +7 by Peter Hopper’s team of Alec Campbell, Duncan Mc Murtrie and Bruce Clarke on Thursday.

G e o r g e K l u g , Tony Quinlan, Kent Warburton and Ross McLean were next on + 6, while David Hyde, Tony Vidovich, Ric Mapley and Ron Day scored +4

Only three shots separated the five winning sides on Saturday, with the best on +4 being George Klug, Ric Camins, Pek Goh and Duncan McMurtrie.

The next three sides were all on +2, skip-pered respectively by Martin Adams, Ross Donald and Kim Green, while chair-man of selectors, Peter Bacich, brought his team home one-up.

On Friday, the la-dies braved the heat with six teams con-testing scroungers. After two elimination rounds, Pauline House emerged victorious.

Two games of tri-ples were played at Thursday’s pennant practice.

The team of Uncle Arthur, John Hall and Leigh Fitzpatrick was in devastating form, having big wins in both games.

At the other end of the scale, Alan Brindley, Ron Middleton and Peter Evans lost both games.

The team of Phil Lawler, Bill Chellew and Greg Bridges won one game and lost one, as did Laurie Ward, Bill Ford and Mike Hatch.

Saturday’s practice was a bag of mixed events from fours to pairs.

In the fours, Ted Brown, Phil Lawler, Ray Fells and John Horsfall got off to a fl yer and had a substantial lead when the slumber-ing giant awoke.

Ron Middleton, Bill Chellew, Ray Preston and Peter Evans slowly whittled back the lead and then went on to take out the game by six.

In the closely con-tested triples, Rob Blythe, John Duncan and Greg Bridges hung on to beat Laurie Ward, Bob Porter and Bill Ford by one shot.

In the pairs, Alan Brindley and Glen Morey beat Chris Osborn and Wally Graham by four shots.

Sunday morning scroungers has gone into hibernation during pennant practice.

The warm condi-tions last Saturday failed to wilt the en-thusiasm of the mem-bers of the Subiaco Pétanque Club, who enjoyed friendly matches.

All members were impressed by the shed that now houses most of the club’s chairs and equipment.

The club acknowl-edges the strong sup-port from Subiaco council.

Next week, the Subiaco club is very much looking forward to greeting players re-turning from the east.

Club has room for families, friends

There will be free bowling and coaching at the Leederville Sporting Club this Sunday, October 18, from 11am.

Club president Cris Dolbel said there would also be a free sausage sizzle.

“It is a chance to talk to mem-bers and have a good look around the club and facilities,” he said.

“We are hoping to encourage families and so children are very

welcome.“As well as bowling greens we

have a pool table, table tennis and darts.

“We are always looking for new members. Social membership is $25 and full membership is $80.”

The club is at 78 Cambridge Street in West Leederville, behind the Leederville Town Hall.

Cycling for the environment, and MSIt started with a few, but

now 23 cyclists from Subiaco-based environmental con-sultancy fi rm RPS will join the Ocean Ride for MS this Sunday.

For many of the RPS crew, the biggest team in the event, the ride has a personal connec-tion because they know some-one or have a family member with multiple sclerosis.

RPS team captain, Matt Giles, said: “For the last few years we have supported the City to Surf event, but this year fancied a change from running to cycling, as we have quite a number of staff who ride to work.”

The Ocean Ride for MS takes cyclists along some of Perth’s

most spectacular coast and offers challenges for every cy-clist. There’s a 10km ride from Scarborough to Hillarys, 30 and 50km rides, the Perth Integrated Health 70km challenge and the Enervit 90km challenge.

The four longer rides all start in Fremantle and end at the City of Joondalup Event Village at Whitfords Nodes, Hillarys.

“Last year, almost 2000 peo-ple took part in the ride,” MS Society of WA CEO Marcus Stafford said.

Money raised from the ride will be invested in providing support and services for people with MS, their families and car-ers and help to contribute to the record $1.5million MSWA is contributing towards research

into fi nding the cause and cure for MS.

Matt said RPS had a range of ideas about how to raise money for the ride, including a bake sale, a guess the teams’ time competition and Friday casual dress day.

For riders wanting to get to the Fremantle starting line on Sunday, Transperth will put on a limited number of early trains to arrive in Fremantle well before the 6 and 7am start times.

For more information about Ocean Ride for MS, contact [email protected] or call 6454 3131.

To register to ride or to do-nate, go to OceanRideforMS.org.au.

Get on your bikesfor cycling grants

The state government and WestCycle are inviting organi-sations, local governments and community groups to apply for grants to mark Bike Week in March next year.

Transport Minister Dean Nalder said groups could apply for grants from $500 to $2500 from the $30,000 available.

He said he hoped Bike Week, from March 12 to 20, would con-tinue to encourage more people to explore their communities by bike.

This year, more than 70 differ-ent Bike Week events were held across WA, ranging from bicycle tours, back street bike explora-

tions, bike servicing workshops, riding skills sessions, themed bike rides, learn-to-ride sessions and bike-to-work breakfasts.

Mr Nalder said: “I hope Bike Week 2016 will once again offer fun, educational and interesting events that involve the whole community.

“Getting on a bike and rid-ing short distances instead of driving in a car is just one way we can all do our bit to help reduce traffi c on our roads as well as improve our health and well-being.”

For more information, visit bikeweek.com.au. Applications close at 4pm, on November 13.

A bit of blues and a bit of folkHome-grown West Aussie

music will be the go at Jackadder’s Music Club this Sunday.

There will be the urban blues of Mike Cardy and Bob Grigoroff as well as Australian verse set to music by Goldfi elds historian Bob Rummery.

Mike, the songwriter, and Bob Grigoroff deliver a unique range of material that can be sombre, refl ective, enlightening – and sometimes heart-warming.

Bob Rummery has been re-searching WA’s Goldfi elds his-tory and literature for about 30 years, collecting a lot of verse

from several Goldfi elds poets.He has composed many tradi-

tional dance tunes and enjoys fi nding out what sort of tunes are hidden in his button accordion.

The concert is at 3pm on Sunday, October 18, at Warren Lake Hall, Teakwood Avenue, Woodlands.

Entry is $8, children free.Before the music, at 1pm, the

WA Folk Federation will hold its annual general meeting in the hall and all who participate will get free entry to the concert.

According to horseman Pat Parelli there are only two kinds of people, horse people and the other kind.

Neil Pye was once one of the other kind. He grew up in the western suburbs of Sydney and his only connection to horses came through western fi lms and TV shows like Flicka.

In his early 30s he sold a fast-food business and, with time on his hands and money in his pocket,

he bought a horse. “I was a businessman

with all the bravado of riding out into the sunset,” he said.

Romance and reality could not have been further apart. He sold the horse 18 months later.

But the romance of riding horses stayed with him and he bought another horse a couple of years later and, because he had “bought the wrong horse again”, he went to a Parelli horsemanship workshop.

“In the fi rst 10 minutes I realised I was blaming the horse instead of my male ego,” Neil said. “The whole notion of showing a horse who’s boss went out the window.”

Californian-born Pat Parelli and his Australian wife, Linda, have been running workshops on natural horsemanship for nearly 30 years. And for 25 years, fast-food businessman Neil, now a passionate horse lover, has been their main instructor

and MC at their workshop events all over the world.

“Horsemanship was once revered,” Neil said. “But the consequence of modern life is that we got very mechanical with horses. The nuances of horsemanship and understanding a horse’s nature got lost.

“If a horse bucks kicks or bites, that’s not bad behaviour – that’s feedback.”

While working at a grocery store, I met a handsome man and we

both felt an immediate attraction.

We saw each other every day. I thought this much happiness was too good to be true. I gave so much I forgot to keep a little of me to myself.

I didn’t want to mess this one up. I was so in love I didn’t see the many red fl ags.

He told me he had been separated from his ex-girlfriend for eight months. We moved in together, but right after the move I discovered he had been lying about so many things. It wasn’t months ago he left his girlfriend. He was living with her after we started our relationship.

When I confronted him, he got mad and didn’t answer my questions. I

don’t know why he lied to me. I don’t know what I did to him. He would leave the house for days and then return, and I would take him back. Why?

I am so mad at myself for not having the courage and the self-respect, to leave him. Even when I felt my world tumbling down and realised he wasn’t the guy I met, I didn’t let go.

It is hard for me to understand how a person can say they love you, that you are the love of their life, yet lie and hurt you and leave without caring.

Can I be the person I was before? Did I do something wrong to deserve this?

Abbey

Abbey, we don’t deserve the accidents that happen. We can’t look

at what others do as our fault. As you are free to

be a good person, so they are free to decide what kind of person they will be.

There is no reason you shouldn’t be the person you were before him, because this is not your fault. But you have learnt something. The fi rst time someone treats you like this – lies, disrespects, leaves – don’t take them back. Skip the “repeatedly took him back” step and just move on.

Just as it is not your fault what he did, you must accept that you cannot change who he is. Only he can do that, and he doesn’t fi nd fault in his behaviour. So he will not change.

People can’t change who they are in their base nature. They form as they

grow up. Who they are is more permanent than a tattoo. Thinking they can change themselves for you weds you to an impossible goal.

That’s the trap many women need to let go of. It’s me, and he’ll change.

What does “it’s me” mean? It means how did I cause him to be like this?

You didn’t. You just didn’t recognise who he is.

Trying to be someone you are not, trying to get someone to be who they are not, is a lifetime of pushing a boulder up a hill. In the beginning people trick themselves into thinking they can push the rock because they have just started pushing. But after months and years all they can think is: “Why am I pushing this rock?”

That’s the trap. To have what I want today, I start something I cannot sustain.

Elliot Hall from Elliot Hall Enamels in Worcester, England, will unveil his lat-est collection at Claremont Tableware next Saturday.

Elliot Hall collections are renowned for their exquisitely detailed free-hand painted art on goblets, trinket boxes, vases, chalices and eggs.

Elliot is a former managing director of world-renowned Moorcroft Pottery, and introduced the same freestyle art to the 18th century tradition of enamelling on to copper.

Since their launch into Australia last year, the

collectible enamel pieces have proved popular and Claremont Tableware is the fi rst stop on a national tour.

Kerry reveals what makes Keating tick

Back in 2013, Paul Keating – visionary, reformer, true believer, rabble rouser and arguably our most intriguing prime minister – bared his soul to the country’s sharpest political interviewer, Kerry O’Brien.

ABC TV’s Keating: The Interviews, built on 16 hours of recorded inter-views for the television series, and many more hours of conversation with Keating, provided O’Brien with an enormous bank

of new material to write his defi nitive biography of Keating.

As part of this month’s launch of the much-anticipated book, The Lane Bookshop is hosting a conversation with Kerry O’Brien.

The four-part television series presented the inside story of one of Australia’s most intense and painful periods of economic and social reform, along with the triumphs and the tears of his successful but

explosive relationship with Bob Hawke.

In the biography, O’Brien said he wanted to capture the hallmarks of Keating the man – his nimble mind, quick wit and his sweeping vision matched with a ruthlessness and stubborn drive for power.

Such has Keating’s infl uence been on Australian politics, that in 2004, as John Howard’s government was returned for a fourth term, Keating

was satirised in Keating The Musical – subtitled “the musical we had to have”.

Veteran reporter O’Brien has been reporting and commenting on Australian politics for 50 years. He currently hosts Four Corners on ABC television.

The author event with Kerry O’Brien is at Christ Church Grammar School on Wednesday, October 28, at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from the Lane Bookshop in Claremont.

He will be joined by guitarists Tony Durant and Phil Bailey to play classic Warner material, along with anecdotes and recitations shared with comedian Damien O’Doherty.

Dave said of his new cabaret concert: “The intimacy [of The Maj] suits a wider variety of my writing and performance skills, like comedy sketches and other comic writing, but the bedrock is still my music, albeit in a more acoustic fashion.”

In the world of antiques, sentimental jewellery is a vast topic.

There have been many symbols to portray many sentiments throughout the ages, but it is very interesting to look at jewellery that involves the use of words.

In the late Victorian period, it was fashionable to wear a brooch with your name on it and this was typically given as a gift of affection.

They were usually made of silver, and antique fairs around the UK will often have one or two people selling brooches featuring every name under the sun. It’s interesting to see the names that were fashionable then, and it makes a fun treasure hunt if you have an unusual name.

Also in trend were Mother and Baby brooches.

Mizpah, a biblical word, was popularly used on Victorian jewellery to express the sentiment of people being parted. This jewellery would have been given by loved ones about to be separated, often due to travel, as trains and steamers opened a world of possibility.

Mizpah jewellery mainly takes the form of

brooches and rings, and more rarely, bangles, lockets and pendants. Some just carry the word “mizpah”, while others have variations on the verse “May the Lord watch over me and thee while we are absent one from the other”.

Mizpah jewellery was also given during war time.

“Regard” was another popular word in Victorian times, intimating that someone held you in high regard, usually romantically.

It’s often found in acrostic jewellery, where the fi rst letter of each gemstone spells out a word – ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby, diamond.

Souvenir jewellery was also a popular way to take home a memory of a holiday.

It is amazing how one word can convey so much sentiment – one aspect of how fascinating the world of antique jewellery can be!

The staging of Patrick White’s story The Cockatoos completes a 25-year fascination theatre producer and actor Andrew Hale has had with the story.

Andrew fi rst discovered it when he was studying theatre in Paris.

“I went into a library and the English section had a copy of The Cockatoos,” he said. “As soon as I read the story I thought it would make a great stage play.”

He said he had dashed off a draft, but then someone cautioned him against taking it further, because the author’s estate (White died in 1990) would never let it be staged.

“I just took them at their word and didn’t pursue it,” he said.

Then early last year Andrew contacted White’s literary executor, Barbara Mobbs, in Sydney and after sighting the fi rst draft of Andrew’s script, she gave permission for its staging.

“White had plans for The Cockatoos to be a fi lm,” Andrew said. “But he never got any further with it, and I’m lucky no one else has picked up the stage rights.”

Last year, Andrew won the Blue Room theatre

award for Best Performance and Best Production for his own-produced solo show, The Boat Goes Over the Mountain.

Part of the prize included a season slot in this year’s Blue Room program, which prompted Andrew to fi nalise his script for The Cockatoos.

The Cockatoos is a tale of suburban secrets broken open when a mob of wild cockatoos descends on a neighbourhood.

Andrew said that as producer – through his company Happy Dagger Theatre (with his partner

Renee McIntosh) – director and actor in the show, the rehearsal process had been entirely collaborative.

“I have a much deeper understanding of the story now than I did 25

4 years ago, and there are certain aspects of the story you get by re-reading,” he said. “But on stage the audience gets only one chance, so it has been a huge process of deciding what to leave in or out, what elements need to be simplifi ed and what becomes entirely theatrical.”

The show incorporates music composed by Ash Gibson Greig and songs written by Andrew, and featuring Anna Brockway, Kingsley Judd, Janet Pettigrew, Nichola Renton and James Sollis.

Andrew said of the show: “It is everything I wanted it to be and nothing like I thought it would be.”

■ The Cockatoos is at the Blue Room Theatre from October 20 to November 7. There is a Q&A with the cast after the show on October 28. Book through blueroom.org.au or call 9227 7005.

The Perth Undergraduate Choral Society (PUCS) is joining forces with members of the Rotaract Club of Subiaco, the youth arm of Rotary, for a feast of music and food.

The food-themed concert, at Perth Modern School next Sunday, will include favourites like Food Glorious Food, Tea For Two, Sweeney Todd, a satirical mini-oratorio called The Seasonings, by fi ctitious composer PDQ Bach (some relation to JS, apparently), along with a cappella favourite Chili Con Carne.

Yum! A Musical Feast is a concert with a community service call-to-action. Rotaract members will be on hand to collect cans of food and other non-perishable goods for people in need.

Concert-goers are encouraged to take food donations with them to the concert, to be donated to the Salvation Army.

Yum! A Musical Feast performs at Perth Modern School auditorium on Sunday, October 25, at 3pm.

Tickets are available at the door or book online at trybooking.com/JHHX.

■ Singers Stephanie Gilhooley and Jean-Luc Brocx from PUCS serenaded Saturday shoppers at Brew-Ha last weekend with a “taste test” of food-themed songs.

Yummy food and music

From the moment Anneke Brown started working at the Subiaco Hotel to help pay her way through university, she knew she wanted to be in hospitality.

Anneke is a former St Hilda’s student and UWA graduate and has been travelling the world for the past decade, spending seven years opening and running high-class resorts in Bhutan, Sri Lanka, India and Cambodia for the Hong Kong-based luxury resort group, Aman.

But when she wanted to come home to Perth, the closest she could get was Uluru, where she worked on the luxury “glamping” site, Longitude 131.

“It was always in the

back of my mind that I would come back here, even if it was to clean fl oors,” she grinned.

Anneke knew about the $580million overhaul of Perth’s heritage Cathedral-Treasury precinct and the plan for a new luxury hotel.

She began liaising with FJM Property’s director, Adrian Fini, who had won the tender to create the luxury six-star hotel, Como The Treasury.

With a decade of international high-end hospitality behind her, Anneke began advising Adrian on back-of-house design issues.

Then, unexpectedly, she was offered the job as the hotel’s general manager.

“Until now, Perth didn’t have a property delivering what I was used

to delivering overseas,” Anneke said. “But Perth is absolutely ready for this, with a huge market of discerning travellers.

“We need to showcase this city to the high-end traveller.”

Adrian’s vision for the development of the

Treasury precinct was to give it back to the people of Perth.

The boutique six-star hotel has just 48 rooms and

is part of a retail, food and beverage development.

Como The Treasury offi cially opens this weekend.

It is managed by Singapore’s Como Hotels and Resorts, which is owned by hospitality and retail billionaire Christina Ong, who is making her fi rst entry into Australia’s hotel market.

The ground fl oor has meeting rooms, a beer hall, winery, a whisky bar, bistro, pub food, Thai street food, a fl orist, Aurelio Costarella’s fl agship store and gift store Ginger B.

“I am so privileged to be part of this project delivering international standards,” Anneke said. “We haven’t had anything of this calibre in Perth.”

■ General manager of the new Como Treasury Hotel, Anneke Brown, said she would have done anything to be part of the new luxury hotel opening in her home town.

■ The spacious balcony room is one of just 48 rooms in the new boutique hotel.

STPOST, October 17, 2015 –

The Jewish International Film Festival comes to Perth across three days this month and next.

The festival showcases nine diverse fi lms from the US, Canada, South Africa, Hungary, Germany and Israel, and feature high-calibre performances from Natalie Portman in A Tale of Love and Darkness – which is also her directo-rial debut – and Winona Ryder and Peter Sarsgaard in Experimenter.

The Hungarian fi lm, Son of Saul, is hotly tipped as a 2016 Oscar contender.

It is set in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, where prisoner Saul dis-covers the body of a boy he believes is his son and is determined to fi nd a rabbi to perform a proper burial.

A debut fi lm from direc-tor Laslo Nemes, it won four awards at the Cannes Film Festival, including the Grand Prix.

The Jewish fi lm festival screens at Greater Union, Morley, on Saturday, October 31, and Sundays, November 1 and 8.

For details go to www.jiff.com.au.

Tom Blake was in Sydney when we spoke, devastated that his boat had become victim to an unexpected storm.

He had spent months living alone on the boat on Botany Bay as part of a performance art project.

Tom, who is usually based in Wembley, is an interdisciplinary artist, working across video, installation, printmaking and performance.

This month, he will expand his digital explorations at the Proximity Festival at the Art Gallery of WA.

His Sydney project, Boundless Plane, had him living for two months on a 26-foot sailing boat in the middle of Botany Bay, using the boat to “meet” airline passengers as they fl ew in over the water to the airport.

Through a site linking

audiences with art projects – some.center – Tom would connect online with airline passengers, who would give him details of their fl ights and their boarding passes. They had to sit in a specifi c window seat.

As the plane passed over Botany Bay, Tom and the passenger would fi lm each other on their phones, cre-ating a permanent record of their momentary “meet-ing”.

“I’m interested in that feeling of isolation that you can experience even when you’re surrounded by a lot of people, like passengers on a plane, versus the physical isolation I had on the boat,” Tom said.

Tom will continue his exploration of connection through technology at WA’s Proximity Festival with a project called Micronational, where he invites audience mem-bers to create their own

physical, psychological and digital state, called State of You.

Artists taking part are currently developing their experimental works in a two-week Art Lab with British director Helen Cole, before the one-on-one performance festival opens on October 28.

Proximity is 12 days of intimate and experimen-tal performances which, for the fi rst time, will run during the day at the Art Gallery of WA.

Festival co-curators Sarah Rowbottam and

Kelli Mccluskey said that moving the festival into the daytime would provoke people to re-think what a performance should be as they participated in living “artwork” in a public gallery.

Audiences can select programs A, B or C or book multiple programs with sessions running at 11.45am, 1pm and 2.30pm.

The festival includes free public talks and master-classes with Helen Cole.

For details and bookings, go to www.proximityfestival.com.

Acrophobes beware: The Walk is a tortuously, sweat-inducing affair if you’re a heights wuss.

It is rare 3D is used to such superb and vertigi-nous effect as in director Robert Zemeckis’s feature fi lm about the daredevil feat of the 20th century – when, in 1974, French funambulist Philippe Petit walked 110 storeys above New York between the World Trade Center’s twin towers.

It inspires exactly the kind of visual awe and pal-pable queasiness Baltasar Kormakur’s recent Everest should have done.

An extraordinary true story, it was beauti-fully documented in James Marsh’s uplifting fi lm Man on Wire (2008), which resonated strongly in the wake of the atrocity of September 11, 2001, and rightly won an Oscar.

Here, Zemeckis has Petit played with spry, French-accented good humour by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who narrates his story in fl ashback from on top of the Statue of Liberty.

It’s the perfect spot, perched on top of France’s gift to the US, with the gleaming twin towers in

the background – especial-ly since Petit’s performance art was another gift, one made all the more poignant with hindsight.

The fi lm starts with Petit’s back story work-ing as a street performer in Paris, charting his fi rst meeting with Annie (Charlotte Le Bon), his girlfriend and eventual twin towers “accomplice”, and his study of the art of wire walking under the cantankerous circus

maestro Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley).

Zemeckis keeps the pace nimble while Levitt, who trained with Petit to walk a tightrope, captures the diminutive Frenchman’s insouciance, passion and blithe disregard for the law with an appealing brio.

Indeed, it is the fi lm’s subversive spirit as it morphs into a caper fl ick that lends it much of its buoyant appeal.

There isn’t much in The

Walk that wasn’t covered in Marsh’s documentary. But Zemeckis, who based the fi lm on Petit’s book, To Reach the Clouds, bathes the whole thing in a fairytale glow and turns it, with the help of cinematographer Dariusz Wolski (The Martian) and some amazing special effects, into a visual won-der.

The result is a spectacular fi lm, an ode to the power of dreaming big.

■ A walk that captures the daredevil thrill and the historical poignancy of New York’s twin towers.

REVIEW: PIER LEACH

REWIND■ Miss You Already (M) ✪ ✪

“Helmer Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Thirteen) brings energy and craft to screenwriter-thesp Morwenna Banks’ maudlin, occasionally shameless script” that features two “appealing lead performances by Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore”, says Variety. But The Guardian laments that “what could have been a charming and funny look at the relationship between two women in their 40s becomes a disease of the week movie.”

■ Legend (MA15+) ✪ ✪ ✪“Helgeland’s savvy new take on this well-known story [of the Kray twins] proves that crime can pay, while Hardy is astonishing and magnetic in two truly towering performances,” says Empire. But the Hollywood Reporter disagrees: “This ungainly portrait strikes a lot of poses, as if inviting the viewer to admire its impressive cast list, fi ne period detailing, ‘cheeky’ British humour, and insouciant attitude towards violence. But none of it disguises the fact that the fi lm is also tonally incoherent, vacuous and structurally a bleedin’ mess.”

Over the Fence Comedy Film Festival is now the longest running touring comedy fi lm festival in Australia.

The 18th edition will be screened in Fremantle next weekend at Luna on SX, presenting a collection of international comedy fi lms that change the way we view the world.

Festival director Greg Coffey said: “We said way back then that you can say absolutely anything with an excellent sense of humour.”

The festival is dedicated to championing independent and new fi lmmakers.

“One of the most odd things that arise each year is the theme,” Greg said. “We don’t ask for it, or look

for it, it simply arises out of the selection.”

This year’s theme is It’s a Big Bad World Out There, and was prompted, Greg suggested, by the politics of the day.

One of the locally-made fi lms (there are three Australian fi lms) called Noddy, deals with the nodding heads behind every politician facing the media.

Fourteen comedy fi lmmakers from around the world show their bold, fantastic and wild imaginings in short fi lms from 8.45pm on Friday and Saturday, October 23 and 24, and on Sunday, October 24, from 4.30pm.

Penfolds pleasureThe Penfolds 2015 collection hit the shelves of wine shops on Thursday.

The key to the success of Penfolds, Australia’s most widely known winery, is an unwavering attention to detail.The winery operates simi-larly to a champagne house, sourcing grapes from the best vineyards, vinifying in parcels and then blending to create the best wine possible in any given vintage.Here’s a snapshot of the best whites.

Penfolds Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling 2015With its ripe lime, lime blossom, sea salt, citrus pith and sandy limestone minerality, the palate is tight and delicate with plenty of drive and crystal-line fruit. This is an austere style with ripe fruit characters but no sweetness. There is a satisfy-ing plumpness on the back of the palate and great length. It is not as generous as the 2014, but has a laser sharp line. At a refreshing 11.5% of alcohol and fermented in stainless steel, it will be an exceptional summer drink, but will also age in the cellar for many years yet. ■ $25. 18.4 points

Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2013 This wine is a sparkling light straw colour and the nose is unreservedly gorgeous. It has grilled pink grapefruit, juniper, white currant, hints of star anise, preserved lemon, blackcurrant, brioche, nashi

pear, a hint of slate and whitepepper spice and there is a lovely salted/toasty edge to the oak. It it an outstanding wine that is both light yet rich. It has 12.5% alcohol and is sourced primarily from Tasmania’s Coal River and Derwent valleys, with the rest coming from the Adelaide Hills.■ $150. 19.4 points

Penfolds Reserve Bin A Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2014The oak on the nose is spicy and salted, sitting on top of the fruit. The wine is intense and alive with fl avour in spades. It is not the understated delicacy of the Yattarna, but a vibrancy and density of fl avour that puts it in a class of its own. The palate is dry roasted pine nuts, pink grape-fruit, quenching yellow peach with a taut yet subtle tension of acidity with brilliant length. This wine is whole-bunch pressed and undergoes initial fermentation and subsequent maturation in French oak (82% new) with 100% malo-lactic fermentation. Despite this, the fruit retains a sharp focus and line. This is the premium chardonnay from Penfolds that you should be cellaring, but it’s too delicious to last very long. It is utter pleasure. ■ $100. 19.2 points

Bay provides sparkling backdrop

It is hard to decide whether the build or the

location is better at this palatial riverside home.

It’s a house that lives up to its exclusive ad-dress, sporting a thought-ful design and a range of quality fi nishes that complement the impres-sive views.

Freshwater Bay is the sparkling backdrop to many of the spacious rooms, which exhibit a blend of Australian and European themes.

The floors are light timber and wide trav-ertine tiles, while rich, patterned marble plays a leading role in fi replaces, benches and bathrooms.

The main living area on the ground fl oor is the cen-trepiece of the home, featur-ing a wall-mounted TV, an elegant gas fi re below and expansive river views.

The adjoining kitchen is stylish and well equipped, incorporating ample tim-ber cabinetry, a wide range of Miele appliances and an eye-catching red ochre kickboard.

Heavy sliding glass doors open the living area to the rear alfresco area, which enjoys panoramic views of the river bend.

If the breezes pick up you can retreat to a shel-tered courtyard near the middle of the house, where you will also fi nd a spa.

When it’s time to retire, you simply head up the fl oating timber staircase

to the fi rst fl oor, where all three spacious bedrooms can be found.

The main suite at the back is more like a stu-dio apartment, given it includes a dressing room, kitchenette, elegant marble ensuite and a main area big enough for a bed and a separate sitting area.

The whole area is warmed by another gas fi re, making it an ideal spot to watch storms come in over the river.

A long mezzanine leads to the two minor bedrooms, both of which are big with walk-in robes and a shared bathroom.

They overlook a small garden at the front of the 549sq.m hillside block.

MT CLAREMONT 49 Adderley Street

Architect Craig Steere designed this four-bedroom home with limestone walls and industrial-style window frames.

AGENTS: Simon McGrath and John Hunter, Abel McGrath.

Local buyers were outbid at the auction of a Mt Claremont

house last weekend, which was sold afterwards for an undis-closed sum.

John Hunter, of Abel McGrath, said locals were almost getting left behind in the property mar-ket because they were cautious about prices.

“Overseas and interstate buy-ers are more astute in snapping up some of Perth’s best prop-erty,” Mr Hunter said.

The Mt Claremont property, at 6 Shannon Rise, was passed in for $1.78million, after bidders from Russia, China and interstate put up their hands.

Mr Hunter said he had three offers – after the auction – for the property on 891sq.m.

“Buyers are saying the mar-ket is not great, however this property went for in excess of its previous sale fi gure, purely from competitive bidding and fi erce competition,” he said.

According to Landgate re-cords, the four-bedroom and

three-bathroom home last changed hands in 2013 for $1.6million.

Of the seven properties

scheduled for auction, three went under the hammer, three were passed in and one was sold after its auction.

BEAUFORT REALTY




Sales bonanzaSydney’s auction market has suffered a downturn in recent months, but ABC presenter Leigh Sales has managed to buck the trend by selling her three-bedroom townhouse in Glebe for $200,000 above the reserve. The Jarocin Avenue property sold for $1,705,000, just six years after she bought it for $955,000. Selling agent Andrew Liddell, of Bresic Whitney, told the media the reserve was optimistic and “the vendors would have been happy with anything above $1.4million”. A minimalist interior and excellent location probably tempted the buyers, as well as the home’s two undercover car bays – a rarity so close to the city. Sales and her husband are looking to upsize after the arrival of their second son last year.

Take a peek during Open House

If you are a regular POST Property reader, you may recall the iconic wedge-shaped Mt Lawley home that was featured earlier this year. The unusually shaped building on a 180sq.m triangular block opposite Hyde Park is the home and offi ce of architect Simon Robeson, who is opening it to the public next month as part of the Open House Perth tour series. Completed earlier this year, the house aimed to prove what can be achieved on small, challenging sites with good design. The house at 51 Vincent Street, Mt Lawley, is open from 10am to 5pm on November 7 and 8. No bookings are required.

Perth property ‘overvalued by 27%

Home owners worried about recent falls in property values will fi nd little comfort in a report released by SQM Research this week, which found that the Perth market is the second most overvalued in the nation. Perth property is overvalued by 27%, according to the report, which claims the market has not yet caught up to the downturn in the resources sector. SQM managing director Louis Christopher warned of an accelerated correction in the next 12 months. The real estate industry has expressed scepticism over the fi ndings, which REIWA president Hayden Groves described as absurd.

Tempted by cooler climes?

As Perth warms up for the summer, you might be thinking about ways to beat the heat. You could take a dip at the beach, relax in a well shaded backyard or move to Switzerland. If the latter sounds appealing, you will want a home something like this open-plan timber and glass house in the picturesque Alps town of Termen. Built on the side of a mountain, the contemporary home enjoys panoramic views of the valley, which is brilliant green in summer and snowy white in winter. The view is by far the best feature, but the clean architecture and minimalist interior design only enhance the ambience. Rich timbers warm the interior, creating the feel of a winter cabin. The house was designed by Matthias Werlen Architektur.

No freehold in ChinaProperty watchers were keen to see ABC’s Four Corners program on Monday night, which put the spotlight on the rise of Chinese investment in Australian residential and commercial property. But some viewers, including Changing Hands, were left disappointed by The Great Wall of Money. We may have nodded off but we wanted to hear this important point: in China you can’t buy property freehold. All properties are lease-held, which means they have a lease term of 70 years that is obtained via a land grant between the land user and a government body, according to

William Shen, of Sydney commercial fi rm TPG. When the lease expires, there is no certainty about what will happen to the land. “Most of the time, it depends on the sitting government’s policies,” Mr Shen said. Changing Hands also wanted to hear about why Chinese buyers are reportedly shunning Canada in favour of Australia. We can explain: Canada’s government last year axed a visa scheme designed to attract wealthy foreigners to the country. Has it had an effect? It doesn’t seem so, given recent media reports. Last month, the Globe and Mail said China dominated the luxury segment of Vancouver’s red-hot housing market.

To auction or not to auction in a softening market?Although auction signs are clearly popping up increasingly often in Perth, especially in the upper end of the market, West Aussies have been typically less enthusiastic than our Eastern states counterparts to embrace the auction process.

Although the number of sellers choosing the auction process is increasing in WA, the percentage is still relatively small according

And while some sectors of the Sydney and Melbourne markets are sizzling away with record clearance rates, the Perth market is predicted to remain

So is an auction the best way to go when selling your home in a softening market?

“Absolutely” according to Abel McGrath Property Consultant John Hunter. “When a market is

Hunter says. “Buyers can be

turned away by an over priced property and the auction process can often attract more buyers, generating a competitive bidding process to establish the maximum price the market will pay.

“The vendor is then able to choose whether to accept this

that auctions are becoming increasingly successful in Perth, however the agent must work harder in a shorter time frame and it is important that properties are not over priced.

He says among the advantages of selling at auction is that it reduces a vendor’s days on market. “It condenses the campaign, the marketing is more

on market and often a premium price.”

Another key advantage of selling at auction is the intense competition created on the day.

Never underestimate the desire to win! “It’s also cash and on terms that suit our seller, which all works in the vendor’s favour. “They have all of the control throughout the process and aren’t dictated to by the buyer,” Mr Hunter says.

Sellers choosing to sell via the auction process also have additional opportunities to sell as well as going under the hammer.

They are able to sell pre-auction, on the day if they choose and then still have the option of negotiating in the hours and days post auction day. Mr Hunter says most buyers he and his team deal with are very comfortable with the auction process.

“When you show people a strategy that is low risk and that only maximises the price for them, they are generally very quick to come on board.”

Mr Hunter says although the majority of properties are suitable to be sold via auction,

not every vendor is. “What we do when we discuss the best way to market our clients’ homes is to choose what is best for both the property and the vendor,” he says.

If you would like to know more, please do not hesitate to contact John Hunter.

Architect Neil Robertson designed this Mediterranean-style home on a 703sq.m block with subdivision potential.

AGENT: Bev Heymans, Acton Cottesloe.

■ ■ ■

$4.55millionDALKEITH 22 Wattle Avenue

This 927sq.m riverfront property was advertised for $6million in 2014 and $5million this year, according to oldlistings.com.

AGENT: Gordon Davies, Anderson Davies.

There is no denying this home is for the golfers.Looking out the front windows,

from the open-plan living area, all you see is green on green; you could virtually step from the front terrace and tee off on the eighth hole.

“If you’re thinking of taking up golf, or you’re a Nedlands Golf Club member, you haven’t got far to stagger home,” selling agent James Paxton, of Paxton Hoad, said.

“Or, you can sit in your study and watch the Nedlands Masters from your desk.”

But the million-dollar golf course views aren’t all this craftsman-built home has going for it.

Below ground level, you’ll fi nd something else that’s sure to get the blood pumping: a luxury ga-rage and workshop, with enough space to park several cars, a boat, trailer and pretty much anything else that takes your fancy.

The three-level home is a one-off design that not only caters to

golf and car enthusiasts, but also for the needs of a big family.

“Unlike many family homes, the kitchen easily services the liv-ing area at the front of the home as well as the rear terrace,” Mr Paxton said.

That terrace wraps around a

north-facing pool and spa area, which can also be accessed from the main bedroom suite.

On the top fl oor, you’ll fi nd three more bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a home theatre.

Here, french doors open to a

big balcony, overlooking the golf course opposite.

Craftsmanship at CarbunupYou may never have

heard of Carbunup River, the small colonial town that is a 20-minute drive from Margaret River, Dunsborough and Busselton.

It is even less likely, then, that you will have heard of Vickery Street, where the neighbours and their kids play cricket together on warm afternoons.

But the owners of 6 Vickery Street, which is on the market for an express 28-day sale, said it was the town’s quiet, rural feel and its central, South-West loca-tion that they loved most about living in the family-friendly spot.

Recently renovated, the four-bedroom home features marri fl oors and slabs of jarrah that one of the own-ers cured himself, before fashioning into benchtops for the kitchen and bar.

“The property is a true craftsman’s home,” selling agent Vincent Marruffo, of Acton South West, said.

That craftsmanship is evident in the extensive use of timber, as well as a lime-stone feature wall, complete with fossilised shells.

The owner used stained-

glass windows from his fa-ther’s old Vasse home, which lend a sense of old-world charm to the renovation.

Mr Marruffo said offers were to be presented by 4pm on October 21.

“All offers will be con-sidered,” he said.

“Don’t be shy.”For more details, phone

0418 901 418.

– STEPHANIE McGANN

■ The home, on a 1012sq.m site, is surrounded by plants, including the rare Carbunup king spider orchid.

■ Jarrah bush poles are a striking addition to the alfresco area.

There’s more on Lesser Street in West Leederville

(sorry, we couldn’t resist!).While its name lends itself

to all manner of cringeworthy puns, the quiet, tree-lined street is one of the best in the area.

It is just metres from the Cambridge Street shops, but you wouldn’t know it from the peaceful idyll that sets in when the sun is shining.

As a cul-de-sac adjoining a lane it gets very little traffi c, so it’s a fairly safe area for kids – which is handy, because West Leederville Primary is just around the corner.

The house at No. 7 is typi-cal West Leederville: a two-storey home on a compact 244sq.m block with a living

area downstairs and three bedrooms up top.

It may not be everyone’s great Australian dream, but the high quality fi nishes and enviable location could make it your dream home.

The layout is fairly sim-ple, centred on a flowing, open-plan ground fl oor that incorporates a lounge, dining area and a high-spec kitchen tucked away in an adjoining nook.

Glass doors open to a rear deck, which is an ideal venue for small barbecues and so-cial gatherings.

All three upstairs bed-rooms are generously pro-portioned, but the main suite stands out with its street-facing balcony, sliding plantation shutter screens and well appointed ensuite.

The selling agents are Ingrid Bradshaw and Jade Lippiatt, of The Property Exchange.

Quiet street, but close to the shops

■ This upmarket West Leederville home is just around the corner from the local primary school.

■ Need a lemon for your Corona or G and T? There’s a lemon tree in the alfresco area.

You’d need to go to the top of Brookfi eld Place to fi nd

a view better than the one enjoyed by this humble cliff-side apartment overlooking the river.

It may be a little dated, but the solid three-storey home enjoys a spectacular vista over the river and city, all the way to the hills.

It also has a few stories to tell, like the one about its former owner.

Cezary Baranowski, who died in 1999, was a Polish immigrant who was declared dead on the battlefield of northern France in 1944, only to wake and rejoin his unit weeks later.

Before that, he had been

interned by the Germans and escaped while working as an interpreter near Belgium, before briefl y working with the French resistance.

He married in 1950 and moved to WA, where he worked in real estate and the aged-home-care sector.

He bought this three-bedroom apartment off the plan, which makes this the fi rst time it has been offered as a fi nished home.

Its crowning feature is the big, open-plan living area that looks out to the river.

The expansive patio at the rear is an ideal venue for soirees.

The selling agent is Kate Gale, of Shellabears.

known “serial killer” victim, Sarah Spiers.

The 17-year-old rape victim had left Club Bay View after midnight and was walking to a friend’s house in Gugeri Street, opposite the Claremont Showgrounds’ arena.

But she did not arrive. As she walked past Rowe Park opposite the Claremont subway, a man abducted her and forced her into what was described at the time as a van.

He tied her wrists with what was described as telephone cable, and her head was covered.

She later told police she did not see her attacker’s face.

She was driven into the darkness of a remote part of Karrakatta Cemetery, stripped and sexually assaulted then released.

She ran to the nearest visible light, the admissions section of Hollywood Hospital in nearby Monash Avenue, Nedlands, on the other side of the cemetery from Gugeri Street.

A few months after Sarah Spiers

disappeared, local child-care work-er Jane Rimmer, who had been at the Claremont Hotel, disappeared.

She was thought to have been abducted walking east in Stirling Highway, Claremont. Her body was found south of Perth.

Ms Glennon’s body was found north of Perth and Sarah Spiers’ body has never been found.

That crime remains unsolved.A 12-man squad has been working

almost full-time on the Claremont serial killer case since the forensic link was made, with the help of ad-vances in forensic science, in 2009.

Detectives are also keen to re-investigate any other attacks, sexual crimes, attempted abduc-tions or even home invasions in the 1990s in case the same culprit was involved.

This could provide small but important links to the killer police seek. Since then, detectives have interviewed and re-interviewed thousands of people in the hope of completing the link, so far without success.

The breakthrough forensic link has led police to abandon their focus on a Cottesloe public serv-ant, where they had focused most of their resources for many years.

Perth metropolitan media at the time freely referred to him as the chief suspect.

The cold case squad has also eliminated former Claremont mayor Peter Weygers, whose home was raided in 2004 after a tip from a clairvoyant.

When, in 1997, the POST pub-lished the opinion of a US crime expert that the fi rst place to start looking for the culprit was the cemetery attacker, WA police is-sued a press statement asking the media not to publish the views of outside experts.

Detectives at the time said the cemetery and Claremont serial killer attacks were not linked.

They have now totally changed their view. They believe all four crimes, all blitz attacks, were sexually motivated and linked to the same man.

Fourth serial killer victim• From page 1

Tenants left homeless after wall collapses

Sophia said it was hard to fi nd help because she was from New Zealand and Nic was American so they did not know the appro-priate organisations to contact for support.

“There’s no one to really turn to,” she said.

“So we just have to pack up and go.

“We don’t have a leg to stand on legally.”

Cottesloe CEO Mat Humpfrey confi rmed the council had asked Sophia and Nic to leave.

“We are investigating whether or not all of the conditions of the building licence were being met at the time the portion of wall collapsed,” he said.

“An assessment is still being made of the damaged house to identify what work is required.”

Mr Ross said he had not con-tacted the tenants again because it was his insurance assessor’s job to communicate with them.

He said on Monday he under-stood Sophia and Nic had been con-tacted by his insurance assessor.

“While this is being investigated it’s in the best interest of all par-ties to leave it to the insurance assessors,” he said.

“As far as we’re concerned we have done everything by the book.

“All the necessary insurance policies have been put in place.

“I have devoted a hell of a lot of time to this since it happened [but] I can’t get too involved.

“The tenants are defi nitely being kept up to date.

“I’ve spent the last hour trying to fi nd them accommodation just off my own bat.

“It’s not my fault it happened.”Mr Ross said everything had gone

to plan until the wall came down.“There was an issue – it wasn’t

an accident – nothing negligent.“But I can’t really say anything

else while it’s being investigated.”Peard Real Estate licensee Sam

Mannino said the owners of 169 Curtin Avenue lived interstate.

“They are disappointed but obviously it’s done now,” he said.

“In the meantime, the poor ten-ants have been left out in the cold.”

M r R o s s s a i d h e w a s shocked and disappointed the incident had occurred.“We always diligently follow correct procedures and standards,” he said.

“BRH engaged fully qualifi ed and insured contractors to carry out the works on the development.

“We immediately ensured the structure was adequately shored and propped to prevent further cracking.

“The property was inspected by an assessor that day and a structural engineer the following morning.

“Both parties deemed the struc-ture to be well supported.

“The incident is still being investigated. However, it is our professional opinion that the re-sulting damage can be effectively remediated to its original condition without delay.”

Van a life changer for RachaelThe Mosman Park club donated

the remaining $9550.Club member John Law said

strict Japanese emission con-trols meant cars in Japan were replaced every 10 years, making it cheaper to import it.

“I did a lot of research and found it would cost $40,000 to buy a simi-lar van in Australia and another $30,000 to get it converted,” he said.

The Alphard is custom-built for people with disabilities and has been a blessing for Judy and Rachael.

“It’s beautiful, except the sat-nav talks to me in Japanese!” Judy said.

“The seat lies down and goes into one big bed, which is great if we go out and Rachael gets sick.

“It’s made a big difference. Before, we could only use the manual chair, not the electric one.

“I had to push her and I am not as young as I used to be.”

Last Monday night Rachael was at the Mosman Park Men’s Shed to thank the Rotary club members and tell them how the van had changed her life.

She is doing an online writing course and hopes to write a book about her life or a children’s book about soreness and pain.

She has also become an ambas-sador for Rocky Bay.

“I believe that I was given this illness for a reason,” she said.

“I would like to speak at school and corporate charity events about my illness to bring about awareness of EDS.

“Through awareness, maybe one day there could be a cure or at the very least some relief from the pain and suffering.”

Judy said the Alphard was easy to drive and park, making it easy to take Rachael to speaking events.

“Before, she had to say no to a lot of events, but now we can go anywhere,” Judy said.

“It’s really good for her because she can’t work but she wants to make people understand her disease.”

Rachael said EDS would shorten her life to about 40.

“But I don’t want my life to be a waste, I want to help make a difference,” she said.

“I want to speak out and raise awareness.”

She said Rotary helping raise the money for the van would make her dream of speaking out come true.

Rachael can be contacted on [email protected] for speak-ing engagements.

Wheels fall off free parking pushCouncillor Stephanie Stroud

put up an alternative motion that went further and called for free all-day Sunday parking.

This would support the new mar-kets and coming Christmas shop-ping, she suggested in her motion.

Councillor Murray Rowe also had an alternative motion, which sug-gested that two hours’ free parking on Sundays should be introduced at council-owned carparks on both sides of Rokeby Road, between Bagot Road and Hay Street, when the new markets opened.

He also proposed that bays in and around several council car-parks should have a 30-minute limit, to encourage turnover.

“The initiative to provide some 30-minute bays to replace those lost on Rokeby during market days is simply to keep general business ticking over,” Mr Rowe said in his motion.

“This is particularly important for those businesses less reliant on market-goers.

“We wouldn’t want to see any more businesses closing on Saturday afternoons or Sundays due to lack of access.”

At the start of the debate on the issue, Ms Matheson said Mr Rowe, who sits next to her in the council chambers, had a proximity and fi nancial declaration to make and leave the meeting.

Mr Rowe is an owner of Friendlies pharmacy in Rokeby

Road, which backs on to the carpark between Coles and Crossways Shopping Centre.

It would have been one of the carparks affected by the changes.

Mayor Heather Henderson said it was up to elected members to make declarations at meetings.

Mr Rowe said his shop was separated from the carpark by a lane at the rear of his premises and did not make a declaration.

Ms Matheson repeated her be-lief he should make a declaration but the motion lapsed for lack of a seconder.

Ban on panels• From page 9

still be installed above this height,” he said.

“They could be up to 1.5m above the maximum height.

“On sloping terrain where the living area of one house overlooks the roof of another, this can have a devastating impact on outlook.”

He said the panels needed regu-lating because of the big area they occupied.

He said with their reducing cost, increased effi ciency and cheaper battery storage, solar panels would become more popular.

The sloping terrain in the Saunders Street area meant el-evated solar panels would obstruct people’s views, he said.

“To avoid this scenario occur-ring, the petition is requesting that for the Saunders Street precinct all new panels are erected fl ush or nearly fl ush with the roof,” he said.

CEO Kevin Poynton accepted the petition, saying council staff would analyse the petition and report back to the council.

DAP earnersShenton Park heritage architect

Ian Hocking, who died last year, received $6800, while Subiaco con-sultant John Symes, who joined the DAP as a full-time member earlier this year, got $2450.

Every council has two councillors who sit on the fi ve-person panel.

Cambridge mayor Simon Withers and councillor Corinne MacRae both received $4050 as DAP mem-bers, more than any local govern-ment representatives in the western suburbs.

Subiaco councillors Murray Rowe and Paul Clements got $2950 and $2050 respectively.

Smaller sums were paid to other councillors, refl ecting the number of DAP projects and meetings in their areas.

Ratepayer group attacksHe said his job was to implement

council decisions.If he had not hired lawyers, the

council would not have been rep-resented in court, Mr Buckley said.

The verbal assault on Mr Buckley was a shift in focus for the group, which has for months targeted mayor Simon Withers with questions.

Ms Shannon and Mr Withers are both lawyers.

Ms Shannon directed some re-marks to the mayor on Tuesday.

“In my opinion, you are trying to give Mr Buckley retrospective approval for a decision he has already made,” she said.

“You have nailed him K,” Mr

Timmermanis said from the public gallery.

Ms Shannon said: “Why don’t you just let the judge make the decision and abide by the umpire’s decision?”

Mr Withers said that if someone sued the council, it responded, which was what organisations did.

“You have sued everyone else, why leave him out?” he said to Ms Shannon, referring to Mr Buckley.

In the past months, ratepayers have been allowed up to two hours at the start of council meetings to ask questions.

After about 45 minutes on Tuesday, deputy mayor Alan Langer proposed the council move on to other business on the agenda.

Austin Robertson’s sporting

What makes a coach of the year?Alastair Clarkson is a unique

AFL football coach, a coach for coaches, a man for all seasons who has been there and done it all.

This bloke has now won three premierships in a row, and four in total. In the past fi ve years he has managed to get the Hawks into the Grand Final four times. Extraordinary.

Yet despite Clarkson’s success, there’s one honour that contin-ues to elude him: he’s never won the Coach of the Year Award.

Why is it so?That conundrum would stump

Professor Julius Sumner Miller himself.

Usually, a team should be good enough after winning one premiership to contend for an-other. But three premierships in a row? Well, that’s historic.

That sort of longevity puts Clarko and this playing group into rarifi ed air.

Usually, teams might stay around for another tilt at it

before beginning that inevita-ble slide down the face of the mountain, with senior lead-ers of the pack heading out of contract and chasing the big bucks with other clubs (Buddy is a classic example), injuries, and manoeuvering for top-end draft picks, which sometimes don’t work out.

But this is not so with the Hawks.

Bookies have already installed them as favourites to win next year’s fl ag.

We all know that the buck stops with the coach when a side performs badly. It wouldn’t mat-ter a tinker’s damn if the poor embattled blighter had a team chock full of B-graders.

But what about Clarkson?Low-key, resilient, seemingly

unassuming, not a guy you would think eagerly courts the media or the spotlight, he took a team from the cellar, turned them into a powerhouse, and kept them there.

But despite this success, when it comes time to announce the Coach of the Year, he gets over-looked again and again.

I can see where the panel that chose Luke Beveridge, this year’s winner, were coming from.

Blind Freddie could see he did an outstanding job getting some bite back into the Dogs.

But why didn’t we give him a little time to really prove himself before rushing his name, or, say, that of Adam Simpson, another possible and deserving winner, on to the honour board?

When Clarkson played for North Melbourne, he was a tough little hombre of about average fare; he was never going to be in contention for a spot in the AFL Hall of Fame.

But it won’t be long after he chucks the caper in before he gets into that august body for his contribution to coaching.

Hawthorn has been like a fi n-ishing school for young coaches.

Both Beveridge and Simmo

come from his school, and now another, Brendon Bolton, will start his career as the trump at Carlton.

I can hardly wait to see how he goes.

Alastair Clarkson

Dockers bound … Harley Bennell.

Lewis Jetta looks likely to don the Eagles guernsey.

It’s that time of the yearLast Monday, just nine days

after the AFL Grand Final, a different sort of high stakes game began.

It was the day when 18 clubs legitimately began making offers to restricted and unrestricted free agents.

Bit of a joke really.We already knew the biggest

name in free agency, Adelaide’s Patrick Dangerfi eld, would go home to Geelong.

In fact, the Cats have been very busy – as well as Dangerfi eld, they’ve lapped up West Coast Eagle Scott Selwood and are purring in the ear of Carlton’s Lachie Henderson and the Suns’ Zac Smith … wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more.

As each year passes, players embrace free agency more and more willingly.

Nobody is suggesting that Dangerfi eld’s tears weren’t real when he announced he was leaving the Crows to join the Cats, but the reality of modern football is that money always speaks louder than words.

This year’s list of avail-

able players looks pretty darn delicious (to quote Bruce McAvaney), as well as being relatively young – interestingly, not one player is over 27.

Here are some players who have gone, might go, or, at least, are being talked about as going:

James Aish (Brisbane); Harley Bennell (Gold Coast Suns); Jake Carlisle (Essendon); Patrick Dangerfi eld (Adelaide); Charlie Dixon (Gold Coast Suns); Jarrad Grant (Bulldogs); Curtley Hampton (GWS); Lachie Henderson (Carlton); Jeremy Howe (Melbourne); Lewis Jetta (Sydney); Matthew Leuenberger (Brisbane); Jake Melksham (Essendon); Jack Redden (Brisbane); Paul Seedsman (Collingwood); Ryan Schoenmakers (Hawthorn); Scott Selwood (West Coast Eagles); Zac Smith (Gold Coast Suns); Matt Suckling (Hawthorn); Michael Talia (Bulldogs); Adam Treloar (GWS) and Chris Yarran (Carlton).

By the time you read this, some will have gone, some will have stayed put and others will

emerge from nowhere to take their place at the table.

Among those who may be heading our way are Jetta, who looks certain to land with the Eagles (though West Coast’s fail-ure to get a round one pick for Scotty Selwood may complicate things a little), and Bennell, who will become a Docker.

Jetta is out of contract with the Swans, but Bennell, despite being on the outer there, is contracted to the Gold Coast until 2017.

A big forward who has been linked to the Dockers is young gun Cameron McCarthy, who is homesick and wants to leave GWS and come home.

So, yes, we have entered in-teresting and uncharted waters with free agency.

I love it. While clubs lick their lips, and players line their pock-ets with bullion, this is a time for the wisdom of Solomon and the touch of King Midas.

Because what you don’t need to do is to select players like Scott Gumbleton and Colin Sylvia!

Have the Hawks crossed the line?

When we think of Hawthorn Football Club, we think of organisational culture: dili-gent, supportive, resolute and inoffensive, a bastion of family values, of team, of men, women and children.

And, with their three con-secutive fl ags, we also think of consistency.

Not all this is true.You see, each year the Hawks

take $23million out of people’s pockets via poker machines at two venues they own.

Before going any further, I have to say the only Victorian club that does not hold a poker machine licence is North Melbourne, and they handed theirs back several years ago.

Brisbane has 200 machines and Port Adelaide 100.

The other AFL clubs, includ-ing, of course, our two WA outfi ts, are poker machine free.

Clubs’ reliance on pokies taints the AFL competition, in my view.

Gambling, as anybody can tell you, is one of the seven deadly

sins and, like several others, it’s disastrously addictive.

Add the corruptive and crimi-nal element that inevitably lurks around it, and the fi t is hardly a good one for our game.

An uncontrollable addiction to gambling has been the down-fall of many people, from bank managers to garbos, sporting stars, politicians, and, it goes without saying, all the average folk who like a punt.

Funny thing about gamblers: they’ll always brag about what they win, but remain silent as lambs when they lose.

Mind you, it was the reverse for Kerry Packer, who amazed me one day when he said the media always went big when he won $200million, but never reported it when he lost a simi-lar amount.

The number of gambling outlets, of all shapes and sizes, available these days, not just in footy clubs, are too numerous to mention, particularly when you add in all the online stuff going on.

And doesn’t it get in your face?

Tom Waterhouse, Bet 365.com pushed ad nauseam by Samuel L. Jackson, Sportsbet, Centrebet, William Hill, Triple 8 Poker, etc, etc, etc.

In WA, poker machines are restricted to James Packer’s 2000-plus at Burswood Casino and, by the look of it, that’s one business that has remained with its head and shoulders well above water, unaffected by the economic downturn.

By comparison, pokies have always been a part of the land-scape of other states, but only since 1992 in football clubs in Victoria.

I think we are very fortunate

to live a in a state where these money-crunching monsters are banned.

Unfortunately, the compul-sion to challenge a machine for that pot of gold, for both the greedy and the needy, is too great, becoming insatiable and irresistible.

Gambling is a monster that takes no prisoners, an insidious creature whose corrosiveness is invisible.

I once put a few quid on num-ber six in a 4000m country stee-plechase when I was in the UK.

The bloody thing fell at the fi rst hurdle and, thank God, I haven’t bothered since.

There’s no pokie money in the WA AFL, and that’s the way it should be.

Harley setto zoom

into town One of the most intriguing

stories in this year’s AFLtrade period concerned GoldCoast’s wayward star, HarleyBennell.

He wanted to be a Docker,Freo wanted him to be aDocker, and, now that he is one,and if the cards fall right, hecould be the biggest steal sincethe Great Train Robbery.

But this guy comes with anissue in his kit bag: he has afew red cards against his namefor off-field behaviour thateventually proved too dauntingfor the Suns.

Bennell is a player of extraor-dinary talent.

We have all seen him burnthe grass and tie defences inknots with his skill and speed.Once this guy turns on the after-burners, it’s like chasing theRoad Runner.

Run Bennell into a re-jiggedforward line that contains Natthe Magnif much more often(if not permanently), SonnyWalters, Ballas and (fi ngersand toes crossed) CameronMcCarthy, and defences wouldhave a fi t of apoplexy.

However, Bennell’s off-fi eldefforts and general attitudetowards authority will havegiven rise to deep concern, andI’m sure there were some nerv-ous moments before the LyonKing and Chris Bond pressedthe “go” button on the trade.

Despite this element ofrisk, as a Dockers man, I hopethey’ve made the right choice.

It’s lucky Harley is coming toa club with a strong culture, andone that contains good-qualitypeople – including as impres-sive a group of indigenousleaders as you’ll fi nd anywhere.

And Surfers Paradise is afar different atmosphere fromPerth and Fremantle, espe-cially for a young footballer.

As our judicial fraternitysays, everybody deserves an-other chance. I have no prob-lem with that – but I’ll still beholding my breath.

Phew! It’s SO exhausting opening all our Doodlebug entries and then having to choose just two major winners!

Nevertheless, I have pulled through the ordeal and I am pleased to announce that Riley Blair (9), from Mosman Park, is the fi rst of the chosen two.

Her summery scene has every-thing I love about summer in it – a slide, a pool and a glorious day.

Theo Shiner (8), from Shenton Park, is our next winner and he has done a fabulous job with his Professor McGonagall.

There were some delightful entries this week.

Hannah’s Garfi eld the Cat was very comical while Noah’s black cat was really cute. Sam’s red plane was a beauty, while Max’s plane had the entire spectrum of colours.

There were plenty of fish in Darius’s ocean scene and Caitlin’s fl ower was gorgeous.

I loved Edward’s spotty kitten and Jake’s cuddly Nibbles the cat. Nibbles was sitting beside his scratching post while eyeing the next bit of furniture to scratch.

Eliza’s brown cat looked cuddly and Edward’s star man looked very happy among the planets.

See you next week! Jane
