Marmion takes bit part in Hollywood dramaNedlands MP Bill Marmion

has bought into the row over the controversial state govern-ment plan for the City of Perth to swallow parts of Subiaco and Nedlands.

Mr Marmion says he has spo-ken to Premier Colin Barnett about saving Hollywood Private

Hospital as part of Nedlands.He said he had told Mr Barnett

that losing the hospital would be too much to expect the council to bear when boundaries are changed to create a new city of Perth.

The private hospital pays Nedlands about $630,000 a year rates.

“Nedlands is not a big council

like Stirling or Joondalup and in my view taking out Hollywood Hospital is too much to make a small council absorb,” Mr Marmion said.

ABC reporter Jessica Strutt, who previously worked in the Premier’s Department, reported that Hollywood Hospital was likely to stay in Nedlands but the University of WA and the QEII

Medical Centre would become part of Perth as planned.

She said a $730 parking levy on organisations in Perth would not be extended to UWA, QEII and parts of Subiaco that would fall in the new boundary.

But there is no word on the fate of about 3000 Subiaco residents in Hollywood and Crawley east of Hampden Road

and Broadway.A recent meeting of an alli-

ance of activists from metro-politan councils that fought off wholesale council mergers pledged to help those residents win a Dadour vote on their fu-ture when the contents of the Act are known.

Subiaco is still laughing about its solemn Anzac Day march that went off the rails.

So far off that it went down the wrong street, past a library, school and church and through the theatre gardens carpark where marchers’ banners and fl agpoles ripped at the over-hanging fi g trees, showering them with debris.

The parade then had to fi ght its way through a narrow gap between parked cars and more overhead snagging of banners in Hamersley Road.

Meanwhile, an estimated 2000 people lined the central Rokeby Road waiting for a parade of military heroes that did not turn up.

Instead they arrived from the back.

When RSL member and former mayor Richard Diggins explained to the record crowd what had happened, the reason was greeted with un-solemn gales of laughter.

So what went wrong?Subiaco council had meticu-

lously planned for the big event, the 100th anniversary of the fi rst Anzac landing, and had a statue to proudly unveil.

It hired a contracting fi rm to close its streets, and this included erecting manned bar-riers in Rokeby Road.

The marchers, led by the City of Perth Band, formed up out-side the Subiaco Australia Post Offi ce and set out along Rokeby Road for the war memorial on the corner of Hamersley and Rokeby roads.

But the out-of-town bandsmen ran into trouble at the Bagot Road-Rokeby Road intersec-tion, where a barrier had been erected across the road.

They said they were told by the diligent custodian of the bar-rier: “You can’t come in here, we’re expecting a parade.”

The deflected bandsmen turned right along Bagot Road,

Withers jeered over infill planProtesters jeered, yelled and

pointed fi ngers on Tuesday night, warning Cambridge councillors they would be voted out at the October election.

The packed public gallery exploded when mayor Simon Withers tried to make a joke about infill housing, telling one man he needed to get out more.

“This is disgraceful,” City Beach resident Andrew Mill said.

“You will not be here next year, your jobs are on the line.

“You will go down as the coun-cil that ruined City Beach.”

The storm fl ared as protest-ers revealed they had trawled public records and wanted to

know why Mr Withers had not declared income from boards he was appointed to by the council; why a councillor had not de-clared her daughter worked for architects hired by the council; and why some councillors and a senior staff member and her husband supported a Facebook page about subdividing “pomp-ous City Beach” that had pic-tures of slaughtered Kenyans and Asian children sleeping on cardboard with captions linking them to Cambridge.

I’ve changed my mind: this sculpture’s great

My praise to Subiaco council and the Subiaco RSL sub-branch for the Anzac Service at the Subiaco Fallen Soldiers’ Memorial, honouring 100 years of the Anzac spirit.

I had opposed having the sculpture placed on the war memorial, but now extend my heartfelt praise for the wonderful, realistic image created by sculptor Greg James.

I’m sure many parents will now be explain-ing the relevance of the boy to inquisitive children.

Thanks must also go to the curators at Subiaco Museum for the thought-provoking exhibition on the impact of World War I and the heavy toll it took on the Subiaco community.

It is easy to be complacent when we live in a peaceful environment, but we should never forget the terrible suffering endured in wars past and present.

May the Anzac spirit live on for future generations.

Debate v censorshipGeorge Crisp objects to the $4million federal

grant to the University of WA to establish a Bjørn Lomborg climate consensus centre (“Climate ‘confusionist’ link to uni think tank”, Letters, POST, April 25).

Undoubtedly arguments against this initia-tive are widespread, especially among Greens and environmental advocates.

Dr Crisp has been a Greens candidate in state and federal elections.

There is in the Australian Green Party and its associated links with the Socialist Alliance a marked authoritarian tendency, shown by their attempts to suppress all opinions contrary to their beliefs.

I would be more impressed if Dr Crisp and his colleagues entered into rational and academic debate on climate questions rather than trying to suppress dissenting opinion.

Cottesloe ‘out of touch’ on Marine speed

It is regrettable but not sur-prising that Cottesloe council decided to vote against propos-als put forward by residents to provide changes to traffi c conditions in Marine Parade, Cottesloe.

The residents were denied community consultation to re-duce the Marine Parade speed by either reducing posted speed limits or incorporating traffi c calming measures.

Residents would do well to remember the lack of community consultation at the next council elections.

What in my opinion is blatant disregard for resident concerns on this matter shows the discon-nect between elected offi cials and their constituents and demonstrates once again how Cottesloe council is out of touch with the residents it serves.

Your chance to be constructiveabout housing for the future

I’m disappointed that some peo-ple are trying to turn a consultation into a referendum.

The demographic data is very clear: Cambridge’s population is ageing and we have a very large number of one and two-person households.

This is recognised by Directions 2031, which requires councils to provide greater housing choice to address these trends.

We are also losing our original smaller homes as they are demol-ished to make way for large houses, at a time when the need for smaller homes is going to increase.

The council has worked very hard on its housing strategy with highly regarded professionals (CODA Architects and Malcolm Mackay).

The options are well thought out and designed to minimise the effect on local neighbourhoods.

We have been trying to have a discussion on the proposals, but all we are getting are rallies and petitions.

Planning decisions are made on their merits, not on who can make the most noise.

It would be a great shame if resi-dents did not take this opportunity to make constructive contributions to the discussion on our future housing needs.

Some opponents of the housing

proposals have told us privately that there should be high-density residential development around our activity centres, such as Floreat Forum and the other shopping centres, and the dune belt along City Beach.

The council is not proposing to pursue that strategy, but it is the obvious alternative to our current housing strategy.

It’s time that the people who are suggesting that we put density in our activity centres in Floreat and City Beach nominated the actual locations so the community can take that into consideration when commenting on the current proposals.

A Peppermint Grove resident is behind a multimillion-dollar Cottesloe development.

The Overton Gardens project on the ocean side of Cottesloe Civic Centre will be Cottesloe’s fi rst development assessment panel (DAP) application.

In October, Overton Gardens Pty Ltd paid $7.5million for three 1950s apartment blocks, at numbers 15, 17, and 19 on the street’s northern side.

The company’s sole share-holder is former diplomat Jane Whiddon (50), of Peppermint Grove’s View Street.

“Our goal was never to build anything that’s controversial,” Ms Whiddon said.

Australian Development Capital’s Rod Hamersley said two-storey buildings would go on all three lots.

“There will be 12 apartments in total ... the council has been

very receptive,” Mr Hamersley said.

The three lots cover 1677sq.m and construction is scheduled to start in the last quarter of this year.

DAPs handle developments over $7million; the panels have three state government appoint-ees and two from the council concerned.

The DAP could meet to dis-cuss the development later this month.

Cottesloe faces first DAP

Location, location, location … These three apartment blocks with Cottesloe Civic Centre in the background are to be replaced.

In her Elphaba black hat and green glasses, it was clear that Rosalie Primary School student Allegra Concanen was a Wicked fan.

She was torn between the witches of Oz, green witch Elphaba (Jemma Rix) and Glinda the Good (Suzie Mathers) in the fi ght between good and evil.

The two witches from the stage show, Wicked, arrived by helicopter in King’s Park to be greeted by Rosalie Year 6 stu-dents on Thursday morning.

Last year, Rosalie’s Year 6 and 7 leavers chose Elphaba’s aria, Defying Gravity, as their graduating song.

Allegra was one of the few students who had seen Wicked. Canadian student Cooper Hanson said he was

lucky enough to have seen it on Broadway.

The boys were the most eager to question the two witches, and they all agreed their sisters and mums were green with envy that they had got to the spectacular helicopter arrival.

In the fi nal leg of its 10th anniversary tour, Wicked returns to the Crown Theatre, opening on Sunday.

Gill backs carpark marketA council-owned carpark

that Subiaco has struggled to develop could be used to create a distinctive and per-manent market, a local busi-nessman has suggested.

Murray Gill, the artist who owns Juanita’s small bar in Rokeby Road, has already approached mayor Heather

Henderson about the idea, which she said was interest-ing.

Mr Gill was also due to meet Subiaco’s CEO Ian Hill this week.

He will make an official proposal to the council this month that it use its carpark in Forrest Street, between Denis and Rowland streets, to establish the markets as a

major attraction to the CBD.From his experience as a

small bar operator trying to get changes to his business, Mr Gill said he expected a small rump of councillors to block the idea no matter what, but that he hoped a majority of them would see the merit of the proposal.

State threathaunts Neds

Fears the state government would “roll over the top” of Nedlands to allow massive build-ing concessions to Woolworths and Aldi haunted the council meeting on Tuesday night.

Councillors said Nedlands was keen to maintain the area as a local hub, but not to have the planning decisions taken out of its hands under new state laws.

A group of Nedlands residents watched anxiously as their council set a future course for one of city’s most visible and important sites.

The spectre of what happened to the old Pavilion market site where the government ordered Subiaco to accept a 16-storey building, hung over the meeting.

“We don’t want another Waratah Avenue barn and we defi nitely don’t want a Claremont Quarter,” council-lor Toni James told the meeting.

A huge commercially-zoned area on both sides of Stirling Highway, between Mountjoy Road and Stanley Street south of the highway and between Baird and Kinninmont avenues on the north side, totals 20,372 sq.m.

Woolworths leased the Captain Stirling Hotel. Five houses behind in Stanley and Florence streets were also in Woolworths’ sights,

while the giant German retailer Aldi has bought the Captain Stirling shopping centre for $9.7million.

They were like “two big el-ephants itching to dance,” coun-cillor Ian Argyle said.

“When they do, we want to be playing the tune.”

He said the council might have to go to the Supreme Court to enforce its rules.

Nedlands has rejected two appli-cations by Woolworths to re-zone the Captain Stirling Hotel site.

Aldi has yet to make its inten-tions clear.

Councillor Bill Hassell feared the state government would use new laws to take the re-zoning de-cisions out of Nedlands’ hands.

He said Nedlands needed to set planning guidelines.

“If we don’t do our job and back our community, we will be rolled over by the state planning author-ity,” he said.

“We will be rolled over and this council will have no say,” he said.

He suspected Woolworths was already lobbying the government to re-zone the land.

The Woolworths and Aldi sites are only a part of the precinct.

Merger? ... Yes please

A new council merger plan is back on the table.

The Local Government Advisory Board has published details of a fresh bid to amal-gamate two councils.

The shire of Narrogin and the town of Narrogin have lodged a proposal with the LGAB to become one district.

But the move failed when a majority of the residents in the shire of Cuballing – which was to be a part of the merger – voted against the idea.

Now the two Narrogin au-thorities are hoping to set up as a new entity on July 1 next year, with public hearings to begin next week (May 7).

Meanwhile, Subiaco council is still waiting for any news about the state government’s plans to introduce the City of Perth Act. (See page 1)

Realtor meets Governator

Trent Vivian says he was the only person to make Arnold Schwarzenegger laugh at a Queensland real estate summit.

“Instead of saying, ‘I’m from Perth’ or ‘Hasta la vista’, I said, ‘If you’re ever looking for a personal assistant, please let me know – I’m available 24/7’,” Trent said.

Trent, a Vivian’s Residential agent, had a front-row seat for Arnie’s 40-minute speech, in

which the fi lm star, champion body-builder and former Californian governor outlined his recipe for success.

Rule No. 5 was “Work your butt off ”.

“There is no substitute for hard work. It’s all about the reps, Arnold passionately mentioned,” Trent said.

“Whether it’s body-building, and doing reps in the gym; whether it’s countless acting classes, accent removal classes (that Arnold thinks he deserves a refund on), business classes – Arnold crams more into every day than most people would think possible.”

Trent was in a quick photo with Arnie. He was charging per minute, and rumour at the event had him getting around $250,000 for his 40-minute speech.

Trent said The Governator said he would be touring soon to promote the fi fth Terminator movie.

An excited resident con-tacted Mosman Park council after reading of a suggestion the Queen could be made a Freeman of the town if she ever visited.

“He wanted to bring it to our attention that she had been here,” he said.

Deputy mayor Ian Flack asked whether her car stopped.

“I was a little bit out of that frame, but to the best of my knowledge she waved nicely and gently and drove through,” Mr Norris said.

Abbott photo-bombs Harry selfiePrime Minister Tony Abbott

photo-bombed a Scotch College student’s selfi e with Prince Harry at Gallipoli on Anzac Day.

Bailey Vanderzanden (15) was at the Lone Pine commemora-tive service last Saturday and spoke to Prince Charles before spotting his younger son.

“I asked him if he would be in a photo and he agreed,” Bailey said.

“Then Mr Abbott jumped in on the photo.”

Bailey – and 31 other students – was chosen to go to the Anzac centenary after writing an essay

called The Quiet Legacy of the Serving Soldier.

Prince Charles quizzed Bailey about his essay and the 12-day tour the students were on.

The photo happened before the service. Bailey said there had been a bit of a frenzy around the young royal.

After the selfi e, Mr Abbott shook Bailey’s hand and said hello.

“It was an amazing trip and a life-changing opportunity,” Bailey said.

“There were about 8000 Australians there at Gallipoli on Anzac Day.”

Bailey’s group spent six days at Gallipoli and surrounds, and fi ve days based in Istanbul.

Bailey’s great-grandfather, Charles Denney, was in the Light Horse in World War I before his top riding skills saw him transferred to the Camel Corps.

Another great-grandfather, Walter Smith, was with the 27th Battalion in the Middle East during the Great War.

“We should take the effort to remember,” Bailey said.

“Travelling to these places gives you a much better per-spective.”

Swannie unitscause headache

An access road serving the development on the site of the former Swanbourne high school between Alfred and Narla roads in Swanbourne is to be partly closed.

Two large blocks of units being built next door and an increase in rat-running are causing head-aches for residents.

During debate on the problems at Nedlands council this week, it emerged that LandCorp’s recent design of the greenfi elds site was not ideal.

Short building setbacks and the narrow verges with large houses on small blocks made reversing out on to the street hazardous.

There are no front fences or walls.

“Where are the kids to play?” asked one councillor.

Narrow, cobbled streets and unusual Y-shaped intersections caused further traffi c hazards and confusion about who had to give way.

A recent traffi c count showed 1312 vehicle movements a day.

“It’s unique and hazardous,” one resident told the council.

“The 50kmh speed limit is far too high.”

Other residents said it was im-possible to drive on the correct side of the road unless driving under 25kmh.

Vehicles of workers on the two high-rise blocks were clogging

the streets and causing more safety problem, and likely to get worse, the council was told.

When the units are oc-cupied traffi c will probably increase.

The council narrowly voted to close the entry into the old school site at Nijelle Loop, leaving only an exit for a trial period.

“Unless you have been to the site and observed the traffi c you should not speak to it,” said councillor Leo McManus, who proposed the part-closure.

“You do not know what you are talking about.

“At the weekend I was down there three times.

“Going downhill when I stopped I had people up my clacker.

“They obviously did not design this to be a through road.

“Traffi c comes from there at high speed. It turns into Alfred Road.

“The whole area is very un-safe.

“We have had a number of residents complain but I do not seem to be getting this through to council.

“As people up there have said, if this was Dalkeith it would be fi xed tomorrow.

“Admin say it would cost $80,000 to close the road. Me and my son could do it in no time.

“We have a situation where the natives are restless. We have to support and defend the community.

“I have not had anyone up there who does not support what we are trying to do.

“The rangers come up there but do not ticket anyone. The workers do what they like.”

Councillor John Wetherall said there should be a time limit of two years.

Mayor Max Hipkins said the proposal was a knee jerk reac-tion and could divert traffi c to other streets.

“We are not traffic engi-neers. We have no idea what we are going to do,” he said.

Hoons terrify Minim Cove residentsSpeeding young hoons are

terrifying residents in the quiet back streets of Minim Cove in Mosman Park.

Derry Lane resident Rachael Cook told Tuesday night’s coun-cil meeting she was alarmed by the speeding drivers and their disregard for children and residents.

“Derry Lane is a small, narrow lane that is being used as a little

speedway,” she said.“I am quite concerned at the

level of aggressive driving, and generally drivers not slowing down.”

Ms Cook said she had two chil-dren and often others came to play. The lane was a place where residents slowed down and had the opportunity to talk.

“I would say people coming into the street may not neces-sarily have children or do not understand our way of life with

kids on the street,” she said.“That becomes an issue where

we feel as residents we are put under pressure to have to not necessarily be in a confrontation, but in situations where we po-litely ask them to slow down.

“I feel that my children are a target after that and we don’t feel free enough on the street.”

She said she had installed security cameras and put bins on the street with council signs telling drivers to slow down.

“I am more concerned that it was such a quiet neighbourhood and that when it is used as a race track something is going to happen to someone.”

She suggested raising the roundabouts to slow traffi c.

“I am concerned because of the narrow misses that I have had,” she said.

CEO Kevin Poynton said the council would be considering the traffic plan in its budget discussions.

What’s cooking? … Peter Pearson using the food steamer that was at the hospital when he began his apprenticeship in 1970. Photo Billie Fairclough

Hospital food has changed a lot since Peter Pearson started his apprenticeship in the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital kitchen 45 years ago.

Back then the kitchen in A Block, one of two buildings on the site, employed two butch-ers, nine chefs, two sweet chefs and everything was freshly prepared.

The butcher started with whole carcasses and meals were sent all over the state.

In 1970, staff could walk from A Block to King's Park unhin-dered.

The sneakers they wore have been replaced with protective work boots supplied by the hospi-tal, plus there are hazard courses to ensure a safe workplace.

Today, the kitchen in G Block employs two chefs who prepare food that has been cooked and chilled.

Behind the cafe on the eighth level, Peter prepares patients'

meals according to strict guide-lines.

“Having been here all this time, I don't have to look at a book now because I know what is required,” he said.

“In the old days, hospital food was criticised, but today every-thing has to be up to standard.”

He recalled one experience from A Block where the kitchen was on the ground fl oor and pa-tients had to use the lifts.

“I was working in the kitchen and a bloke came to the door and said, ‘I want to speak to the bloody cook’,” he said.

“He had a piece of wood in his hand so I said, ‘He’s down the back’ and bolted. I wasn't going to fi nd out if he was unhappy with his food.”

It has not been all smooth sailing. Peter spent six weeks as a patient in the Royal Perth Hospital burns unit after a kitchen fi re in which boiling oil was spilt over him.

He prepares some of today's meals on a stainless-steel

steamer that was there when he began.

“They don’t make stainless steel like that any more,” Peter said.

“It will probably be here in another 50 years’ time.”

Peter, who retires this week-end, is not going to miss pre-paring 500 meals three times a day nor getting up at 4am in the middle of winter.

He and his wife, Kay, whom he married 24 years ago after meeting her at the hospital, are planning an extended trip to the UK.

On their return Peter is plan-ning to do volunteer work, pos-sibly at the Cat Haven.

“I like animals, but unfortu-nately I would want to bring them all home,” he said.

But Peter may not stay out of the kitchen long. His nephew is opening a restaurant and there is a possibility he may get a tap on the shoulder to help out.

Meanwhile, he's the one doing the cooking at home.

Let us not forget Kokoda …The battle for Kokoda should

be remembered by Australians no less than Gallipoli is, Stephen Goode says.

The Claremont council CEO will talk about walking the 96km Kokoda Track at Claremont library next Thursday.

Mr Goode battled illness and lethal plants on the way to the 2190m Mt Bellamy and beyond.

He said the 1942 battle saw the fi rst defeat of Japanese land forces in World War II.

“Kokoda was the battle for Australia,” Mr Goode said.

“Had we lost, the war could have taken a lot longer to win.

“History tells us the Japanese had no intention to invade – but if they’d won we could have been cut off.”

Mr Goode slogged through rain and freezing wind and succumbed to diarrhoea during his trek.

“In the bush a vine wrapped around my leg,” he said.

“It was like razor wire and impossible to touch.

“Walking the track made me appreciate what our soldiers did.”

Ad bins chucked outBins carrying advertising look likely to

disappear from the Cottesloe beachfront.The council has been negotiating with

Natsales to move the advertising bins and replace them with 40 stainless-steel bins the council owns.

The bins carrying advertising will go to other locations.

A council committee this week recommended that the council sign another fi ve-year contract with Natsales and spend $112,000 on the long-lasting stainless-steel bins.

SAT judge suggestsshort-circuit move

A dispute over the height of a proposed Daglish house wall has occupied a tribunal judge following a decision by Subiaco council to vote against a recommendation of its staff planners.

The judge last week tried to encourage a developer to fi nd a more “productive” way than mediation to resolve a dispute over the impact of the wall on the neighbour

The judge three times sug-gested a way to short-circuit a decision rather than see the parties go to mediation.

But representatives of the council and the developer in-sisted on mediation, the results of which would have to be ap-proved by Subiaco council.

Judge David Parry, a District Court judge and deputy presi-dent of the State Administrative Tribunal, presided over a direc-tions hearing last Friday morn-ing when the home developer appealed.

Paul Auret, represented by planning consultants Rowe Group, is appealing against a decision by Subiaco council-lors on February 24 to reject his plans to build a new house at 12 Cunningham Terrace, Daglish.

The house plans were refused because of the impact the build-ing would have on a neighbour-ing one-storey house in Luth Avenue. That house is owned by a POST employee.

In their majority vote (10/2) against the application, coun-cillors cited two grounds for refusal.

They said under two clauses

of the council’s current town planning scheme the wall height of the new house would have an undue adverse impact on the adjoining property.

They also said it would block solar access to the outdoor liv-ing area of the neighbouring home.

Andrew Cumming, from the council’s planning staff, and a consultant from Allerding and Associates represented Subiaco, while Jeremy Hofl and (a former planning manager at Subiaco council), from the Rowe Group, represented Mr Auret.

After a brief discussion at the start of the directions hearing, both sides agreed to drop the issue about solar access.

Judge Parry said the plans he looked at showed that a two-storey section of the new home would be built close to the southern boundary.

Judge Parry asked if there was “scope” to soften or set back the second-storey elevation, which would satisfy the council’s ob-jections.

“Your honour, potentially that could occur,” Mr Hofl and said.

Judge Parry described the two-storey addition as rela-tively small given the size of the proposal, but that it was clear this would be the point of contention.

“As we all know, the City of Subiaco has very special provi-sions in its scheme for height, and that’s been subject to previ-ous tribunal decisions, and that is quite unique, so I wouldn’t be having this discussion with you in a directions hearing other-wise,” Judge Parry said.

Claremont council has se-cured two key supporters for its plan to move the town’s war memorial into Claremont Park.

Last Saturday’s was the last Anzac service at the memo-rial’s current spot on Stirling Highway, where it was unveiled 92 years ago.

“Last month, we met RSL state president Graham Edwards,” council CEO Stephen Goode said.

“He is behind the plan, as is RSL Claremont president Geoff McClements.”

Mr Goode said the Donnybrook stone structure with flying buttresses and trefoil fini-als needed to be moved to a planned memorial garden in Claremont Park.

Though the state govern-ment’s plan to widen the highway seemed to be on the back burner, Mr Goode said it was likely the road would be moved closer to the memorial’s current site.

“When that happens it simply can’t stay there,” he said.

“The risk of damage would be too great and the space for services too limited.

“The memorial was built when Stirling Road carried little traffi c.

“We think the growing num-bers who come to pay their respect at Anzac Day and Remembrance Day commemo-rations will be much better in the park.”

The RSL was happy with the move provided proper respect was paid, Mr Goode said.

The council has sourced seeds from the same genus as the fa-mous Lone Pine so a seedling can be planted to mark the memorial’s current location.

The memorial, which has marble inserts, was erected for Claremont’s men and women

who enlisted in World War I.It also commemorates those

who fought in World War II, Malaya, Korea, Borneo, and Vietnam.

The foundation stone was laid by General Sir Talbot Hobbs in September 1922.

Mosman puts Wearne hostel plan on holdMosman Park has deferred

putting out the Wearne Hostel business plan for community comment, though Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove and Claremont councils have agreed.

The site's lessee, Curtin Care, has asked the councils to trans-

fer the title or give it a 99-year lease at a nominal rent so it can spend more than $80mil-lion redeveloping the site to meet new legal requirements for aged care.

Mosman Park residents have questioned the nominal income from the $30million site when the council is so cash-strapped.

Mosman Park Residents and Ratepayers’ Association presi-

dent Paul Shaw told Tuesday night's council meeting the business plan options were too narrow.

“There is no doubt that ei-ther of these options will be a great outcome for Curtin Care, but would it be an acceptable outcome for the Mosman Park ratepayers?” he asked.

Stone Street resident Roz MacNish wanted to know the

names listed on the title of the site.

Curtin Care board member Tim Humphry said the title was held in the names of the four councils and any transfer would have to be approved by the Lands Minister.

He suggested a caveat could be placed on the title to prevent it from being sold.

Mr Humphry said the 80-bed

hostel did not meet new legal requirements and Curtin Care wanted to increase its capacity to 105 beds.

CEO Kevin Poynton said ques-tions should be raised when the business plan was advertised.

He said it was a collegiate ex-ercise by the four councils, with Cottesloe taking the lead.

Grove won’t budge on river cafe plan

A petition signed by almost 200 people to minimise development of a foreshore café in Peppermint Grove was ineffective in chang-ing the council’s plans.

In February, the council ap-proved plans for the estimated $1million redevelopment of its popular cafe, Cappuccino by the River, and supported adding a liquor licence.

In response, Wembley resident Patricia Hammond gathered 184 signatures on a petition to keep the Keane’s Point café low key, alcohol-free and without additional parking.

After receiving the petition on Tuesday, the council maintained support for a restricted liquor licence.

“We’re not going to please eve-

ryone,” councillor Scott Fleay said.

A report to councillors said a low-key café, and converting boat-trailer parking to normal car parking, had been approved.

Councillors were worried the pe-titioners did not fully understand the cafe plans.

“It irks me,” Mr Fleay said. “I question how many people

have signed … without looking at what we have undertaken.”

In highlighting that only 11 signa-tures had come from Peppermint Grove residents, councillor Greg Peters further questioned the petition’s relevance.

“A good deal of those petition signatures are well away from Peppermint Grove,” Mr Peters said.

Pond to be fencedA fence around a turtle pond in Mason

Gardens, Nedlands, is to go ahead. Mayor Max Hipkins tried to stop the work be-

He said it would not stop people going into the pond if they went inside the fence.

Deputy mayor Bill Hassell said: “It is not unobtrusive, it is a bloody great fence that goes all the way around.”

Councillors seemed to be swaying against the fence until someone mentioned $30,000 had been allocated for the work and land-scaping.

Skate Park CLOSED for revampThe Perry Lakes Skate Park in Floreat closed earlier this week to allow for a $400,000 expansion of the popular skate facility.

The work will be carried out by experienced skate park builders Enlocus, who were awarded the design and construction contract at the February 2015 Council meeting.

These works are the first stage of a proposed two stage expansion project. Stage One includes construction of a street skating area, spectator seating, landscaping, a full size outdoor basketball court and a path connecting the court and the skate park.

Funding for stage two works will be listed for consideration in the 2015/16 draft budget.

With construction now underway the skate park has been fenced off and is not accessible.

The expanded skate park is expected to reopen in early July.

Herdsman kitchen torched

A deliberately lit fire caused $400,000 damage to Herdsman Fresh Essential ’s Osborne Park kitchen last week.

The Baden Street blaze was reported to emergen-cy services about 10.15pm on Wednesday.

W o r k e r s a t t h e Churchlands shop did not return calls from the POST by press time.

It took firefighters nearly half an hour to get the flames under control.

Police are studying CCTV footage of the premises and the arson squad was due to visit on Thursday morning.

Cottesloe’s toiletSeat of Shame

The inaugural Toilet Seat of Shame Award was presented to Cottesloe mayor Jo Dawkins and her councillors on Tuesday night.

“I shudder to think what we might have to present to you if the situ-ation doesn’t improve,” ratepayers’ association representative Reece Whitby said.

Mr Whitby said the award recognised the terrible conditions of the council-owned toi-lets below Indiana on Marine Parade, which the restaurant rents from the council.

“The state of these toilets is no joke,” Mr Whitby said.

“They upset countless visitors and ratepayers.

“You, the councillors, have to solve the issue.”

Resident Rosie Walsh said a year ago she suggested Cottesloe gut the toilets and replace them with self-cleaning Exeloos.

“I received a follow-up email from just one councillor and obvi-ously no follow-up was done,” Ms Walsh said.

She said Mosman Park, Subiaco, and 11 other councils had Exeloos, and there were 400 in the eastern states and 240 in New Zealand.

“I ask the council again to look into this proposition which would provide a solution to the problem which has turned into a farce,” Ms Walsh said.

She also asked the council to ask the state government to fund accept-able public toilets at Cottesloe.

Both she and Mr Whitby were

applauded by the 15 people in the public gallery.

Ms Dawkins took both Ms Walsh’s questions on notice.

In March, SOS Cottesloe head John Hammond and Cottesloe Ratepayers’ Association chair-woman Yvonne Hart repeated calls for the council to issue a default notice to the Marine Parade res-taurant.

At the time they told councillors they had failed to ensure Indiana met its public toilet responsibilities to residents.

Ms Dawkins said the stunt was disappointing and did not raise any new ideas or issues.

“As the association is aware, the town is working to resolve the issue of the toilets at Cottesloe beach,” Ms Dawkins said.

“We have instigated this past summer a far more rigorous system of inspections of the facility and notifi cations to the operators when problems are found.

“We are negotiating a more per-manent solution, whereby control and ownership of the facility would transfer back to the town, allowing improvements to be made.”

Ms Dawkins said council meetings were partly for public statements and questions, but not “public spectacles”.

She said the award “... detracted from the importance of and tradi-tions associated with the council chamber, and those that have served their community in the capacity of councillor over more than 100 years”.

Time stands still at stationMt Claremont couple Jude

and Don Maskew received many admiring looks on Anzac Day when they joined others in period dress to march in the Perth parade.

The group gathered at Claremont train station at 7am before going into the city.

“We had a great time,” Don said.

“A girl with us, Amy Watts, was handing out sprigs of rosemary on the way.

“The community was very receptive and took lots of photos.”

Jude said everyone in the group had had a relative in

World War I.She had three great-uncles

in the war. All came home, including 16th Battalion’s Albert James Atkinson, of Davies Road, Claremont, who was wounded in the head and hand at Gallipoli.

Don, who spent nearly all his 23 army years in the sur-vey corps, had a grandfather and two great-uncles on the Western Front. All came home.

Albany RSL president Belinda Rowland said the group had been invited to march on Anzac day by state RSL president Graham Edwards, who saw them in

action at the Albany com-memoration last year.

“I am Breaker Morant’s widow, Emily O’Dwyer,” Belinda said.

Belinda said the costumes came from op shops and online.

“The idea was to create atmosphere and wave the men off, complete with white handerchiefs, to the Great War,” she said.

Jack Rowland (12) was dressed as a Daily News pa-per-boy and wore his father’s medals.

Slower Paradeis only answer

The debate over what to do to make Marine Parade, Cottesloe, a safer place continues.

I applaud councillor Sally Pyvis for her proposal for a 40kmh limit along the Parade’s entire length, (“Marine Parade prang-fest,” POST, April 25).

An admirable job has been done to try to make a very nar-row road with limited options as safe as possible.

However, with such a drastic accident rate on the Parade, I see the only viable solution is to cut the limit to 40kmh.

I use the Parade daily to cycle, walk my dog, and to take my mother, who lives in Wearne Hostel for the Aged, for a walk in her wheelchair.

On only two occasions in fi ve years has any car slowed down to let me cross the road with her safely.

It appears to me that many drivers use Marine Parade for commuting or “rat running”.

It is, after all, a glorious scenic drive and people using it should be going slowly enough so that it is safe for all users (cars, cyclists, and pedestrians).

Susan AndersonPearse Street, North Fremantle

This thunderous procession of 250 bikers descended on the Cottesloe in March to enjoy a leisurely scenic drive along Marine Parade. Local people would like a slower speed limit so Ma-

rine Parade is safe for all users.

I am writing to thank all those wonderful people who attended and supported our Anzac Day service this year at the Shenton Park Community Centre.

Like so many other services throughout Australia, we attracted a record attendance.

The depth of commitment shown by those present made our task

most satisfying.It was indeed a community event,

bringing people together for a com-mon purpose to honour all those who have served in Australia in times of confl ict.

Record Anzac Day crowd

120 years on and Subiacois still arguing over its centre

I read with interest the report, “High Noon on Rokeby Road” (POST, April 18), referring to complaints about the relocation of Coles from Barker Road to near the railway Station.

The concern was that Rokeby Road shops would suffer as the nexus of commercial activity shifted to the station precinct.

In late 1895, the Education Department decided Subiaco needed a school.

This was due to the arrival of more than 100 people into Subiaco every month, a high statistic considering the small population then.

The new arrivals were mostly 25 to 30-year-olds and their children.

Two locations were put for-ward for the school: the corner of Bagot and Rokeby roads, or next to the station.

The debates about each fo-cused on what was to be the centre of the suburb.

Land negotiations proved

diffi cult near the station, and so the school foundations were laid in 1896 on the south side of Bagot Road, just west of Rokeby Road.

Ken Spillman’s A History of Subiaco recites the complaints of children having to travel too far through black sand and scrub to reach the “remote” Rokeby Road location.

As Subiaco developed, another school and a hospital opened near the station.

So the modern day gripes about Coles’ movement away from Rokeby Road illustrate that the historical argument about the suburb’s centre continues.

Despite 120 years of progress since that fi rst school decision in 1895, people are still lobbying for the centre of Subiaco to be pushed either here or there.

One hopes people could view the suburb as having an expansive centre running from the station to Bagot Road, and that the heart was actually the Subiaco Hotel.

Let’s just hope the debate doesn’t run for another 120 years!

Kane BlackmanSubiaco Road, Subiaco

Working with Cambridgeis better than this hysteria

I received a fl yer recently urging opposition to the proposal to allow subdivi-sion of certain lots within Cambridge.

The flyer was crafted at blaming mayor Simon Withers, saying Floreat and City Beach were about to turn into over-crowded ghettos, and hinting that residents’ lifestyle and amenities will change forever, with City Beach and Floreat overrun by cheap accommoda-tion and a massive population increase.

Modern architecture has moved on and countless ex-amples of stunningly attractive homes on compact blocks can now be seen.

In the normal progression of a well-managed commu-nity, a population increase is always balanced by increased amenities and is benefi cial in making existing businesses more viable.

The fl yer omits to mention positives, such as a major increase in public amenity at the City Beach foreshore due for completion later this year, and the council decision not to build a carpark on Jubilee Park to retain public green open space.

A prominent local real estate agent broadcasts that a few lucky ones will have fi nancial bonanzas at others’ expense by degrading the lifestyle of the area, and that owner-developers will stampede to cash in.

This is not true.

Many of the blocks quali-fying under town planning scheme Amendment 31 have expensive improvements with no prospect of economical subdivision.

Amendment 31 is a positive and sensible initiative that is well overdue.

There are currently limited opportunities for people to downsize and stay in the area, and for younger families who would like more affordable opportunities to move to City Beach or Floreat with easily maintained properties that suit busy lifestyles.

Instead of hysterical alarm, a more realistic outlook is that the march of progress will continue and it is better to ensure it is in harmony with the existing community by working with our council.

The alternative is to wait for the state government to legislate changes that we have little say in.

Thanks for greatGallipoli stories

Congratulations to the POST and to Shannon Lovelady for the series of weekly articles on the Gallipoli Dead from Western Australia, which concluded last week.

The 62 articles over the 15 months leading up to the cen-tenary of the landing at Anzac Cove played a very important part in educating and informing readers of this event, which led to the creation of the identity of the new Australian federation in the eyes of Australians them-selves and internationally.

Shannon showed great skill and determination in conduct-ing detailed research into the lives of the 62 fallen heroes, and then in the excellent way in which, week after week, she wrote the stories in such an engaging, engrossing and interesting style.

Centenary of Anzac Day, April 25

1000 at Claremont dawnA Perth Highland Pipe Band

piper started Claremont’s Anzac Day service last Saturday.

A thousand people gathered at the war memorial for the service, which featured a fl y-over by an RAAF jet fi ghter.

Christ Church’s Father Peter Boyland said 53,000 Allied and 68,000 Turkish troops had died at Gallipoli.

“The total matters little – each life lost left a family grieving,” Rev. Boyland said.

He said reasons so many men enlisted in World War I included a thirst for explora-tion and adventure, loyalty to

the British homeland, and the obligation to serve one another under God.

“Some wars have to be fought,” Rev. Boyland said.

“But violence only begets

violence, and destruction breeds resistance and further confl ict.”

Claremont mayor Jock Barker, quoting from Wes Olson’s book, Gallipoli, said once the troops hit the shore, “the notion of ad-venture fell swiftly away”.

Premier Colin Barnett laid a wreath, as did a representa-tive for Curtin MP and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who was overseas, Claremont RSL president Geoff McClements, Mr Barker, and others.

POST sub-editor David Cusworth played the Last Post, and the Claremont Concert Band played the national anthem.

Scouts await the start of the Subiaco service at the war memorial in Rokeby Road.

Scout Rebecca Sydney-Smith of Doubleview guards the newly-unveiled statue at the Subiaco memorial.

More than 600 people turned up for the Nedlands Anzac ceremony at Waratah Avenue which started with a big screen relay from King’s Park. RSL secretary Barry Nunn addressed the crowd and Nedlands Meth-

odist Church choir led the singing.

A wreath for Claremont mayor Jock Barker’s uncle, John Norman

Barker.

Well over 1000 locals were piped into the Cottesloe Civic Centre on Anzac morning for a moving ceremony followed by breakfast provided by the Cottesloe council. In the 1980s only a few dozen people attended the

local commemoration.

More than 1000 people turned out for the Anzac Day ceremony at West Leederville where there was a WWI exhibition in the town hall beside

the refurbished memorial.

Gunfire at dawn

Bursts of machine-gun fi re cut through the early-morn-ing chill of Irwin Barracks, Karrakatta, on Anzac Day.

The shooting started shortly after a lone piper had marched to the top oval of the barracks, where a crowd of soldiers and civilians gathered for the dawn ceremony.

From there they could see fl ashes of gunfi re and exchanges of short bursts in a nearby group of trees – an atmospheric and haunting reminder of battle.

In past years the various units at Irwin Barracks have held sepa-rate dawn service ceremonies across the 61ha military complex, but on the occasion of the cen-tenary of the Gallipoli landings they were combined.

The service started about 5.30am in darkness and under clear skies.

After the dignifi ed service and a quick bacon and egg roll, the soldiers boarded a fl eet of buses to take them into Perth for the main parade.

Record Mosman crowdMosman Park’s Anzac Day

commemoration saw a surge in numbers this year to mark the centenary of the landing of Australian troops at Gallipoli.

On the crisp but clear autumn morning, hundreds were at the Alf Adams Pavilion in Mann Oval for a gunfire breakfast prepared by the Rotary Club of Mosman Park.

At 10am, about 600 people gathered at Memorial Park for the service that was co-hosted by Mosman Park council and the Mosman Park sub-branch of the RSL.

The service featured a march-past by local veterans, including council CEO Kevin Poynton, who read The Ode, in his role as Mosman Park RSL president.

The service featured songs performed by the Mighty Camelot, including Abide with Me, a hymn traditionally sung at services re-membering World War I soldiers, because it was contemporary to their time.

Mayor Ron Norris spoke about Anzac Day, focusing on the Unknown Soldier, reminding the attendees how thousands of young men (including those from the local area) did their part for king and country at Gallipoli and in France. Suzie and Robert Peter leading the parade at Mosman Park.

Applause as Mossie shines on ShineA passionate outburst by

South ward councillor Jenna Ledgerwood was applauded on Tuesday night when Mosman Park council loosened its purse strings to boost its payment to Shine community services.

Shine helps senior residents in the western suburbs to stay in their homes.

It had asked the council to up its allocation 34.4% to $76,516, an increase of $19,584.

Councillors have previously sought to cut funding requests from community organisations.

Mayor Ron Norris said Shine (formerly TAPSS) had helped elderly people to stay in their own homes for 25 years.

“The simple reality is if an organisation like Shine didn't do these sorts of things, either they would not happen at all, or if the council were to provide these sorts of services, they would be far more expensive,” he said.

Ms Ledgerwood said Shine's 70 volunteers needed a police clearance, fi rst-aid certifi cates, workers’ compensation insur-ance and transport to help the elderly.

She said the amount requested hardly covered the cost of one council employee.

“When I came to council I came with a mandate of good and strong fi scal policy,” she said.

“This does not mean to slash and burn everything to the ground.”

She said the council had a charter to care for the aged but had hand-balled that to Shine.

“We are talking about our elderly, frail and sometimes just lonely, but proud enough to want to stay in their own homes,” she said.

“We as a community and council have an obligation to assist them to do this.

“Most of our other community groups are young and healthy enough to support themselves, if necessary.

“Shine’s clients are not the bowling club wanting a new carpet, or bushcare wanting new gloves and signs, or the golf club wanting a new shed.

“These are the most vulner-able and least supported gen-eration in our community, who are not generally supported by their own families for various reasons.

“Shine is not a private compa-ny looking to make a profi t, they are people who have enormous hearts and are performing tasks of benevolence to our aged.

“The other three councils [Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove and Claremont] have agreed in principle to the increase.

“I trust my fellow councillors demonstrate humanity for the ratepayers they represent and support this request.”

The public gallery burst into applause and the recommen-dation was passed without the usual arguments about saving money.

By DAVID HUDLESTON

Tender appealThe Cottesloe office of

Australian Tenders held an email appeal among its registered users in the run-up to Anzac Day.

The local fi rm raised more than $1000 for the cause.

Schools ignorecash grants

Only one school in Cambridge took up the offer of a council grant.

“This is the lowest take-up we have had for years,” councillor Alan Langer said.

The town’s community committee was told information had been sent to every school but only Floreat Park Primary applied for money from the $4000 fund.

“The P&Cs of the other schools are too busy saving City Beach,” mayor Simon Withers said, referring to a residents’ campaign against increased housing density.

The council decided to back a $780 grant to Floreat Primary for landscaping.

Cash for three black spots Almost $780,000 will be spent

fi xing three traffi c black spots in Nedlands and Wembley, including one where a woman died.

The federal government has put up the money for the work.

The grants will pay to re-move traffi c islands in Stirling Highway, between Loch Street

and Dalkeith Road, Nedlands.Twenty-six people were

injured and one died in rear-end crashes, according to the government statistics.

The islands will be removed and replaced by road paint-ing.

A median strip is to be put into Winthrop Avenue at the junction with Hardy Road, Nedlands.

Crashes mainly involved

vehicles going through and turning left. Two people were injured.

The bulk of the money, $700,000, will go to Cambridge council to alter traffi c lights, remove a filter and modify right-turn pockets at the junc-tion of Harborne and Grantham streets.

Thirteen people were injured there in right-turn crashes.

Curtin MP Julie Bishop said: “These projects have been rec-ommended by a panel of road safety experts, as they have been identifi ed as particularly troublesome for motorists.

“The good thing about the black spot program is that any-one can suggest an intersection or section of road they believe should be considered for a safety upgrade.”

Intersections that have been labelled traffi c blackspots because of the number of accidents are, from left, Stirling Highway and Dalkeith Road, Nedlands; Grantham and Harborne streets in Wembley, and Hardy Road and Winthrop Avenue, Nedlands.

Cimbalino Dalkeith finedThe Department of Health

has fined the operator of Dalkeith's Cimbalino cafe, Lee Francis James, $11,250 for hygiene offences.

The department’s convictions register shows that on March 20 Ms James was fi ned under the state Food Act on two counts of not having stored potentially hazardous food under tempera-ture control.

She was also convicted on two charges of not maintaining warm running water, or single-

use towels unlikely to transfer pathogenic micro-organisms to the hands, at or near each hand-washing basin.

Ms James was also convicted on two counts of failing to en-sure Cimbalino, at 105 Waratah Avenue, was free of accumulated food waste, dirt or grease and two counts of failing to take all practicable measures to prevent pests entering the premises.

Nedlands council brought the charges after health inspec-tions on March 5 and March 24 last year.

Ms James was also ordered to

pay $1282.30 in court costs.The department also has fi ned

Quokka Joe’s cafe on Rottnest Island $2500 for hygiene of-fences.

The department’s convictions register shows that on April 20 the cafe operator, Kingsfi eld Holdings, was convicted under the state Food Act of one count of not having clean equip-ment.

It relates to an inspection on November 15, 2012.

The company was ordered to pay costs of $7500.

House sold for ratesClaremont council has re-

covered nearly $9000 in lost rates after it forced the sale of a property in Graylands Road.

The council got a property sale and seizure order last year for No. 84, after owner Peter Palmer fell behind in paying his rates.

“The property was settled on late January and I’m pleased to confi rm the town recovered all outstanding rates and recovery costs,” corporate and govern-ance manager Les Crichton said.

“The owner commenced his

own sale concurrent to the town’s action, so we halted ours pending an outcome.

The property was listed for $923,000 on December 12 and sold on Christmas Eve for $1million.

Last year, Mr Palmer said the council had not correctly served him with legal documents.

The 701sq.m block has over-grown gardens and a falling-down house with warning documents from the council stuck to the front door.

Claremont was owed $4957 rates and legal costs of $3895.

Hospital wing honours World War II nurse Hollywood Private Hospital

is naming the new wing in its $74.1million extension after World War II nurse, Anne Leach.

Mrs Leach (101 this month) is a former Australian army nurse whose long association with Hollywood began during the war.

Last week, the RSL named her an Anzac of the Year in recognition of her exceptional courage and devotion to victims of armed confl icts or natural disasters and her pioneering spirit in public health and nurs-ing education.

Each Anzac Day, Mrs Leach puts on her old nurse’s uniform with its white veil and red cape, grey dress and brown shoes (with stockings), pins on all her med-als and joins the march – these days in a jeep.

Mrs Leach enlisted as an army nurse in Perth in 1940 and served for two years in the Middle East.

On return home she married a young offi cer from the 2/16th Battalion, Vernon Leach, whom

she had met on a blind date in Gaza. Once married, she was no longer eligible for overseas service and so transferred to what later became known as Hollywood Hospital.

From 1943 to 1945, Mrs Leach was on the staff of the then named 110th Australian General Hospital (Hollywood Private Hospital since 1994), as senior sister in charge of the orthopae-

dic ward, acting also as night superintendent.

As a result of her army nurs-ing and community service work with the Red Cross and other organisations, Mrs Leach re-

ceived the Florence Nightingale Medal (1983) and the Order of Australia Medal (2000).

Today, she maintains a close relationship with the hospi-tal, having been involved in Hollywood’s Remembrance Day services for more than 10 years.

On hearing the new wing would be named after her, Mrs Leach was overwhelmed.

“To hear that Hollywood wants to honour my service in this way is very touching,” she said.

“I loved my hospital nursing and Hollywood holds a special place in my heart.”

Hollywood chief executive offi cer Peter Mott said: “In a special year in which we com-memorate 100 years of Anzac, it’s an exceptional moment for Hollywood being able to pay tribute to Mrs Leach and her contribution and service to the community.”

The Anne Leach Wing, which should be completed later this year, will house six state-of-the-art operating theatres, two wards and a kitchen.

Iris Barten is helping cancer victims and their families handle the impacts of the disease.

A Cottesloe cancer care specialist is helping families navigate the life-changing im-pacts of diagnoses and take an active role in their survival.

Oncology social worker Iris Barten said cancer was af-fecting more Australians than ever, but medical progress meant most people were now surviving.

Research by Cancer Council Australia shows that one in two Australian men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.

“Advances have come so far that many people survive their cancer diagnoses,” Ms Barten said.

“But there are no independent cancer care specialists to help people adjust to the impacts of treatment and guide them through recovery with the best available services for their par-ticular circumstances.”

Through her new Nedlands-based service, Cirqol Health Navigators, Ms Barten offers tailored help to patients and their families, including practi-cal advice, emotion counselling and coordinated transitioning from hospital care involving their GP.

“Every cancer journey is very different, so there is no one-size-fi ts-all for treatment, support and rehabilitation,” Ms Barten said.

“No two experiences are the same and the needs of patients

vary greatly.”Cirqol helps patients and

their families cope and make informed decisions in often devastating situations.

Ms Barten has more than 12 years’ experience in cancer care guidance, including family cen-tred paediatric oncology care, and she is an active member of the Psycho-Oncology and Cancer Survivorship Collaborative in WA.

“Cancer is not just a one-person journey. It impacts on so many people – families, workplaces, relationships,” she said.

“Sometimes it isn’t the per-son who has had cancer who is struggling the most and there are limited specialised services available to help manage the impacts of cancer on family relationships.

“Often people who have survived cancer, and even their carers, suffer a very real fear of having a recurrence or being diagnosed with secondary cancers.

“It can be overwhelming and debilitating.

“For many people, addressing key lifestyle issues can really help ease the burden of living with cancer and adjusting to life after treatment.

“Cirqol is about restoring the dignity of patients and respect-ing their ability to make intel-ligent choices for their quality of life.”

Four-storey win for

Jutland PdeFour-storey houses can be

built on the Jutland Parade riverfront in Dalkeith after Nedlands council dropped moves to fi ght them.

The council gave in to legal pressure after the landowners were granted an injunction to prevent councillors reversing a decision to give the three houses the go-ahead.

Five councillors had called a special meeting but the injunc-tion was issued by Supreme Court judge David Parry minutes before it was due to start.

The case was due to be heard in the State Administrative Tribunal on Friday last week but was withdrawn.

Nedlands chief executive Greg Trevaskis said the council’s lawyers had been advised they would not win.

The land owners, the Franco family, were advised the plan-ning approval stood.

Mr Trevaskis said an appli-cation for a building licence would not be referred to coun-cillors.

He said such applications were usually dealt with by the council’s professional staff.

Goodies bound for Vanuatu schools

Boxes big and small packed with paper, pencils and pencil sharpeners are on their way to Vanuatu, thanks to schools in the western suburbs.

The stationery, donated by families at Holy Spirit, Floreat Park and City Beach primary schools, is to help rebuild classes following cyclone Pam, which ripped through in March.

Students made posters and banners with words in Bislama, one of the official languages of Vanuatu, to send with their gifts.

It read: “Mifela everiwan lo Australia I sori bio herem nuis hurricane long ol islands blo Vanuatu. Mifela I pray lo you.”

Hilary Pinerua, a former

Cambridge councillor whose son Roger has a business on the island, said: “It means: ‘Everyone in Australia was sorry to hear about the news of the cyclone in Vanuatu. We all pray for you’.”

Ms Pinerua contacted schools to ask them to help.

“After the report appeared in the POST I had a phone call from a woman who said, ‘I have been to a supplier and he insisted on packing the back seat of my car. I am bringing it all to you’.”

Now she is busy organising transport to ship it all to Vanuatu.

“I have a few offers of help,” she said.

POST kicked out of Neds budget meeting

Nedlands council does not want its ratepayers to know what it is planning to spend their money on.

Some councillors demanded a POST reporter be ordered to leave a meeting to discuss the budget.

Hollywood ward councillor Robert Binks said: “If it is not a private meeting I am going home.”

And CEO Greg Trevaskis said he did not want council staff to get the wrong impression if there was talk of sackings.

Melvista ward councillor Toni James said she would feel inhib-ited about being frank.

Councillor Gordon Hay said he was not comfortable with the idea the discussion could be reported to the community before decisions were made.

Meanwhile the council is pro-posing a 5.4% increase in rates for some properties.

People have until May 27 to comment on the propoals to increase differential rates and minimum rate payments.

And Hollywood councillor John Wetherall sprang into an attack on the mayor Max Hipkins, accusing him of elec-tioneering by inviting the POST to the councillors’ meeting.

Mr Hipkins’ term of office expires in October.

Mr Hipkins said he had told the POST about the meeting and he was in favour of the budget discussion being kept confi dential.

Not all councillors were at the meeting.

Coast ward councillor Nikola Horley and Dalkeith councillor Ian Argyle supported the meet-ing being open.

Ms Horley said: “We are not going to be saying anything we cannot say in public.’

Mr Argyle said: “I won’t be saying anything I would not say on the street corner to a resident.”

The POST reporter was asked to leave the meeting.

Staff had instructed the POST reporter to leave an earlier meeting with army housing bosses about Seaward Village in Swanbourne.

Park toilet warning

Building toilets in a Wembley park might create a gay beat, Cambridge council was warned.

Councillor Rod Bradley said the council needed to think about the idea.

“Are we going to create a beat?” he asked.

The council agreed to an improvement plan for Rutter Park and to assess parking and access to toilets.

Councillor Sonia Grinceri said adding toilets might cause the cost to blow out and the need should be assessed.

“We may need to put this infrastructure in in three or four years,” she said.

Where the moneygoes in CottesloeCottesloe council spent

nearly $1700 to fi x a problem with the civic centre doors.

Dorma Australia got $763 for an after-hours call-out, and Securex got $934 to diagnose and repair the faulty doors.

Law fi rm McLeods was paid $2152 for two parking prosecu-tions.

Acting CEO Mat Humfrey said the town won both.

Culture + Context got $14,670.85 in consultation fees over the former maternity hospital at 19 Perth Street, Cottesloe, which the own-ers wanted to demolish last year.

The council paid a total of about $2.16million in bills in March.

The list was attached to a council meeting agenda.

MLC deputy to quitMethodist Ladies’ College

lege with distinction in various roles: as a classroom teacher, coordinator of biological sci-ences, head of house, head of academic department – science, deputy principal and acting principal,” Ms Cody said.

Ms Palmer will leave at the end of the year. The school is advertising for a replacement.

Rokeby Road facelift startsSubiaco council’s outdoor

staff have started improving Rokeby Road.

The work on new paving, kerbs, lighting and upgrades around street trees started last week.

It is not connected to a meet-ing of disgruntled Rokeby Road business owners who called on the council last week to help attract more people to the main shopping strip.

Subiaco CEO Ian Hill said the changes had been already scheduled.

At Tuesday night’s council meeting, a other measures to improve the streetscape were approved.

These include installing bud lighting in four london plane trees at the Hay Street and Churchill Avenue/Forrest Walk intersections and plac-ing planter pots along Rokeby and Hay.

Two temporary parklets – small gardens within existing car bays that would be moved every two months – are also planned.

At the meeting, councillor Mark Burns challenged the cost-ing of these initiatives.

Mr Hill said cross examining staff at that time of the night – after 10pm – would be a mis-adventure.

The issue was put to a proce-dural vote, stifl ing debate.

Councillor Stephanie Stroud said spending about $800,000 on Rokeby Road was long overdue.

In a separate debate, council-lor Julie Matheson said cutting more than $300,000 out of the council’s budget sent the wrong message.

Subiaco second in charge Scott Hawking said the council did not have the capacity to carry out the works, but that the money would be reallocated.

Mr Hill said funds were avail-able for the improvements.

A long-term plan to revamp Rokeby Road, which had already been supported by council, would be looked at again.

“We will be reviewing the prospect of implementing the Blackhall and Associates pub-lic realm and streetscape plan because there were a number of risks, including business continuity, associated with the implementation of that project together with timing and funding issues,” Mr Hill said.

More traffi c pain is in store for Claremont when a 4m-deep trench is dug in Shenton Road.

“The town is in for a quite unfortunate period,” councillor Bruce Haynes said on Tuesday night.

The digging will happen be-tween Claremont Crescent and Davies Road and the road will be closed from June for eight weeks.

The work will see Western Power’s 132kV overhead lines buried.

From terrorists to terriers …Seventeen US Navy sailors

fresh from fi ghting Islamic State took time out in Shenton Park this week.

The sailors volunteered for a day at the Dogs’ Refuge Home in Lemnos Street.

“We’ve been fighting ISIS and taking ’em out,” one sailor said, before he uprooted a dead tree.

Some of the volunteers were from the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, from where crews fl ew up to 100 sorties a day against the terrorists while the ship was in the Arabian Gulf.

One volunteer (sailors could not be identifi ed) was mowing lawns at the refuge.

“I’ve got two pit bulls I last saw in March,” he said.

“I’ve been 10 years in the navy.

“Tomorrow we’re going to a school and painting.”

The volunteer is an E6 ABH1 on the carrier – a fi refi ghter.

“If a plane crashes, we put out the fi re,” he said.

The volunteer said he had been to Townsville and Brisbane before, and it was his fi rst time in Perth.

“Fremantle looked a bit like New Orleans,” he said.

“I will also probably go to the casino.”

Mosman Park resident and US native Jennifer Sainken, a refuge trustee and 20-year volunteer, helped organise the volunteers.

“We’ve got them washing windows, pulling out dead trees, weeding and putting up shade-cloth over kennels,” she said.

“Most of our [regular] volun-teers want to walk dogs and we don’t have the money to do

things like this.“They do this every time they

come here – they could be on the beach.

“Nearly everyone has a dog at home they’re missing.”

Ms Sainken got in doughnuts, choc chip cookies, and peanut M&Ms for the volunteers.

One sailor, an admin worker on the Carl Vinson, was washing windows and said she hadn’t seen her beagle, Trapper (3), since August.

“I miss him. I’m doing this for him,” she said.

She had been born in the Philippines, migrated to the US in 2011, and had been in the navy for two years and three months.

She said she had seen a kan-garoo in the Philippines but was looking forward to seeing a koala in Perth.

Salt corrodes surf club roofThe asbestos roof at Floreat

Surf Life Saving Club is badly corroded and needs urgent replacement.

“Steel bolts holding the roof down have been severely cor-roded and require immediate replacement,” consultants hired by Cambridge council said.

The council authorised the work and a call for bids for the contract estimated at up

to $400,000 is to be released next week.

The consultants said salt-laden air had got into the eaves space and condensed on steel-work holding the roof up.

The club was built in 1980 and a vent system allows air in under the eaves.

Current practice is for roof spaces to be sealed and insu-lated with ridge ventilation or whirlybirds, the consult-

ants said.Councillors were told a high-

grade carbon-steel roof would be cheapest but would start to corrode immediately and last about 10 years.

Aluminium or stainless steel would last about 25 years.

Councillor Louis Carr told the community committee the council should not start the work until the club signed a new lease for the building.

Lump sums from sumps

Mosman Park is investi-gating new uses for its 12 sumps.

South ward councillor Brett Pollock suggested non-performing sumps could be turned into community gardens, while some could be sold for parking, housing or other uses.

“It appears to me that these are a waste of space,” he told Tuesday night's council meeting.

“Some don't even do the work that they were origi-nally designed for.”

It was suggested after the meeting that selling some sumps could raise $2million.

Secret talks will decide a planning appeal by the Sydney developers who want to build a 16-storey block of units on the Pavilion Markets site in Subiaco.

Subigate, the group behind the developer headed by Ian Day of D2 Property, appealed to the State Administrative Tribunal shortly after receiv-ing the green light to build the controversial tower.

On February 25, the Metro West Joint Development Assessment Panel had approved the $120million project, with 39 conditions and 25 advice notes.

A directions hearing was listed for noon on April 2 in the

tribunal offi ce but was pushed forward to 9.30am at the last minute and without any warn-ing or change to the daily public listings.

Even the presiding tribunal member did not realise the switch until he started the meeting.

In a transcript of the four-minute meeting obtained by the POST, the developer’s law-yer Paul McQueen from Lavan Legal, said they were contesting “a number of conditions of ap-proval granted by the (DAP)” but did not say what they were.

He described the grounds of the appeal as technical matters.

Mr McQueen said the State Solicitors Offi ce had been con-tacted and that both sides had agreed to mediation behind closed doors. This allows only the developer, the DAP and

Subiaco council to take part.He said they hoped they could

work through those matters without the need to trouble the tribunal at a substantive hearing.

If it went to a hearing, the is-sues would be public.

Residents and owners of 16 heritage terrace homes in Catherine Street close to the proposed tower are worried about the appeal.

They are concerned the devel-oper is trying to remove condi-tions that would force it to carry out dilapidation reports on their more than 110-year-old homes and repair any damage.

A Catherine Street resident recently told a Subiaco coun-cil meeting that her insurance company had told her it would not cover any damage to her

property caused by building works.

If the residents’ concerns about the removal of the dilapi-dation conditions are right, many other buildings surrounding the site, including the Subiaco Hotel and Regal Theatre, could be affected.

Mediation talks at the State Administrative Tribunal will be held on May 13.

Staff from Subiaco council’s planning department – which prepared the planning report for the DAP – will be able to attend the mediation.

All parties are forbidden from revealing any of the details of the mediation.

After the mediation, the Metro West JDAP is expected to be asked to reconsider its decision and the contested conditions.

Pavilion talks to be secretBy LLOYD GORMAN

Daisies set to bloom anewSam Kaye used to get $5 an

hour when he was in Year 6 and worked at Daisies in Cottesloe as the drinks boy, dish pig and box crusher.

Now he is back at the deli on the corner of Grant and Marmion streets – but as a co-owner.

Sam (28) recently bought Daisies with Pia Prior (28).

Daisies was started by Rachel Torre in 1994 in a former curry takeaway.

A lawyer bought Daisies

from Rachel, then sold it back to her. There were three more owners before Sam and Pia.

Former owner-but-one, Ken Marshall, was famous for his sign: “Punch Ken for a free muffi n.”

In 2010 Ken protested about “persistent and long-standing problems with North Cottesloe Primary students”, and that “shoplifting, littering and hooligan-like behaviour cannot be tolerated”.

Pia said Daisies would stock a small range of lollies, but no cigarettes.

“It’s such a good spot but it needed a bit of love,” she said.

“We closed it for four days and had a big clean and paint.”

Sam said the Daisies staples – muffi ns and sausage rolls – would stay.

“But we’re letting our chef Sonia Jones play with reci-pes and source better local brands,” he said.

Pia said coffee was a key part of the shop.

“On our third day, Good Friday, we did 360 coffees,” she said.

Corner four … Sam Kaye, left, chef Sonia Jones, Pia Prior and barista Ben Barwood at the revamped – Daisies corner store.

Plaque honours hotel victimA plaque honouring a man

who died after he was pushed from a Cottesloe hotel will be unveiled next Friday.

It will be four years to the day since New Zealander Andy Marshall died when he fell from the Ocean Beach Hotel’s second fl oor.

Sergeant Matt Donkin, who investigated the crime, said that for Andy’s parents, Alan and Wendy, the plaque would be more than just a place to honour their son, who was 29.

“We want people to stop and think about the power of one decision, one senseless act of violence and the downstream consequences,” the Marshalls said via Sergeant Donkin.

“The tragedy and irrevers-ible heartache that impact on so many people.

“We want people to consider how we can all make a differ-ence.

“Also, we want to thank so many people who have sup-ported us and shown us kind-

ness through these last four years.”

Last May, Stefan Schmidt was convicted of manslaughter over Mr Marshall’s death and sentenced to nine years’ jail.

In 2012, a jury found Schmidt guilty of murder and sentenced him to life in jail.

The decision was quashed on appeal, and a retrial or-dered.

The unveiling will be at 10.30am on Friday, May 8, in the carpark by the hotel.

Intention to Levy DifferentialGeneral RatesLocal Government Act 1995 (section 6.36)Local public notice is hereby given, in accordance with section 6.36 of the LocalGovernment Act 1995 (the Act), of the intention of the City of Nedlands tolevy the following differential general rates and minimum payments for the2015—16 financial year.

Differential general ratesResidential: $0.04610 per dollar of gross rental valueVacant Land: $0.06650 per dollar of gross rental valueNon-residential: $0.05610 per dollar of gross rental value

Minimum rate paymentsResidential: $1367Residential vacant: $1806Non-residential: $1870

The above rates in the dollar and minimum rate payments are based on anincrease in rate revenue of 5.4% compared to the current year. This is madeup of 1.4% to meet the increased cost of operations plus 4% for infrastructure.Following extensive community engagement the Council adopted its StrategicCommunity Plan in June 2013 that included rates increases of 4% per annumover and above the cost of inflation to bring infrastructure up to an acceptablestandard.

Section 6.33 (1) (b) of the Act allows the levying of differential general ratesaccording to the predominant purpose of which land is held or used, asdetermined by the local government. Section 6.35 (6) (c) of the Act requiresseparate minimum payments to be applied to each differential rating categorywhere differential general rates are imposed.

The reasons for, and objects of, the Council's intention to continue withdifferential rating and to impose the above rates in 2015—16 are based on theprinciples of equity and fairness. The Council considers that non-residentialproperties require a higher base standard of infrastructure and services due tothe greater volumes of people and vehicular traffic. A separate differential rateis proposed for vacant land as an incentive to promote land development. Adocument describing the objects of, and reasons for, the differential rates andminimum payments may be inspected at the City's libraries or internet (www.nedlands.wa.gov.au).

Electors and ratepayers of the City of Nedlands are invited to submit inwriting their views on the above rates by 27 May 2015. Submissions shouldbe addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, City of Nedlands, PO Box 9,Nedlands WA 6909 or council@nedlands.wa.gov.au, with "Differential Rates"in the subject line.

The dilapidated Claremont goods shed is set to get a new lease of life.

LandCorp will soon announce the fi rst short-term tenant for the 128-year-old Shenton Road building.

The former rail freight goods shed was built in 1887 and is on the State Heritage Register.

The building was originally used for loading and distributing goods from trains on the Perth to Fremantle line.

Since being decommissioned from its original industrial purpose the shed has been used for various purposes, including an artisans’ showroom, workshop and for storing medical supplies.

The shed’s 295sq.m area is split across two levels.LandCorp said it had discussed work needed on the

shed with Claremont council and the State Heritage Offi ce.

“LandCorp is keen to see the site activated through community engagement and interaction over an extended period of the day and night through uses such as offi ce, commercial, retail, civic or hospitality services,” the agency’s general manager metropolitan Luke Willcock said.

“An expression of interest recently closed and we had more than 25 downloads from a diverse range of interested parties.”

The announcement is expected this month.

Goods show … This 1887 building in Claremont is getting a new tenant.

Cambridge councillor Rod Bradley states in his letter, “Lesson in Cambridge Street” (POST, April 25) that developers can buy adjacent lots and build apartment blocks.

He also states that there will be reduced setbacks.

I have read again the town planning scheme Amendment 31 brochure and cannot fi nd anywhere that what he suggests would be allowed.

On page 7 is a list of non-ne-gotiable elements, which notes more green space and greater setbacks.

In addition, I point out that a

quick aerial inspection of the area between the Boulevard and Empire Avenue, in City Beach, using the council’s Intramap, shows that of the corner blocks only one third would likely be re-developed in the next 10 years.

Not all owners want to rede-velop in the proposed way.

The result is that only a small portion actually may become “manor houses”.

That is quite a different sce-nario from that painted by the opponents.

Foreigners, renters add vibrancyRe “Barker blasts LandCorp’s

foreign pitch” (POST, April 25).

In my opinion, Claremont mayor Jock Barker seems to have a xenophobic elitist view in his generalisations about “foreign-ers” and those who rent rather than buy.

Investors need renters, and to imply that only owner buyers fi t the profi le of what you want in Claremont is simply unqualifi ed, insulting claptrap.

The myth about foreign invest-ment in real estate is just that.

Last November’s federal government report on foreign investment in real estate said just 2.5% of total sales were to foreigners.

It would be fantastic if some of our leaders would take the time to access the information available and stop acting on perception and supposition based on entrenched fear and misconception.

As for the fear of the riff raff of renters in the Claremont on the Park development, at entry prices of about $500,000 for a lit-tle one-bedroom apartment and

$1milllion for a three-bedroom, at a modest 4% return the rents will start at $400 per week and move on up to about $1000.

The world’s most successful cities have a renters-to-owner-occupiers balance of about 40-50% (New York, London, Paris, San Francisco) and the average commute to work is under 30 minutes.

Mature cities don’t see rent-ing as a second-class-citizen thing to do!

I think Claremont’s renter rate is higher than the WA average and the type of renter is often educated with a high income.

The higher the proportion of renters in modern Western countries, the higher the rate of incomes for that area, counter intuitive but a reality.

Foreigners and renters actu-ally enhance the character and tenure of an area.

As a footnote, if any one would like guidance about why renting in a great area is far more fi nan-cially sensible than buying just search the web!

Bigger setbacks ‘non-negotiable’

But where’s the red-light camera?I have noticed that though

the red light camera sign is still at the corner of Saw Avenue, Rokeby Road and Thomas Street in Subiaco, all the apparatus has been taken away.

Is this now an illegal sign?Is this camera being taken

to set up elsewhere, where it returns better dollars?

Who takes the blame for the fi rst bad accident that occurs there, given there are convo-luted crossovers with no big stick being waved?

I’m interested to see the rea-son for removing what has, for several years, stopped so many of us from running red lights.

Surely it’s not a financial reason?

John MearnsBroadway, Nedlands

• A WA Police spokesperson responds:The 30 old wet-fi lm red-light cameras were replaced through 2010 and 2011 with 30 new digital cameras that were also capable of measuring the speed of vehicles travelling through the

intersections. As a result of changing traffic

conditions and trends, the Office of Road Safety commissioned the Curtin-Monash Accident Research Centre to analyse crash trends and severity to determine the highest-risk intersections for the new red light speed cameras.

The Thomas Street, Rokeby Road and Saw Avenue intersection was not identifi ed as one of the 30 worst for crashes or injuries at that time.

As a result, the new red-light speed camera was installed at a higher risk intersection.

Police and Road Safety Minister Liza Harvey recently announced the plan to increase the cameras from 30 to 90 over the next fi ve years.

This will include re-assessing inter-sections to ensure cameras are located where they will achieve the greatest benefi ts in terms of road safety, and crash and trauma reduction.

The signs have been left at the old camera sites as deterrents and remind-ers to drivers that these intersections once represented a signifi cant risk to road safety.

Reader John Mearns wonders why this sign remains when the police have removed the red-light camera from the intersection of Thomas

Street, Saw Avenue and Rokeby Road.

Bass was heardas far away as Hollywood

With reference to Vicki Walker’s letter about 11 hours of intrusive music from the RTRFM concert at Somerville Auditorium (“No getting away from loud concert at Somerville”, POST, April 25), I would like to say how disappointed I was to read the responses from RTRFM and Subiaco council.

I was also disappointed to see no response from UWA.

None of these entities apolo-gised to Ms Walker.

RTRFM appeared to suggest that her objection was merely a matter of taste in music, thus ignoring the point of what she was saying about neighbourhood well-being.

RTRFM and the council spokesman spoke of monitoring and attention to noise regula-tions, but clearly their efforts were inadequate.

The bass from this concert was intrusively present in the Hollywood section of Nedlands, far beyond the 250m within which RTRFM letter drops.

I hope each of these enti-ties apologises to Ms Walker and promises the neighbours of UWA that there will be no further intrusions of this kind into the peace and quiet of their neighbourhoods.

Victoria BurbankWilliams Road, Nedlands

• UWA, which only provided the concert venue, was not contacted for comment on Ms Walker’s letter. We considered it more signifi cant to hear from RTRFM, which was the event organiser, and Subiaco council, which set the conditions for approving the event. – Editor

What has upset Laurie Taylor for him to take such a jaundiced view of Nedlands council’s rate calculations (“Stand by for a rate rise”, Letters, POST, April 18) ?

Mr Taylor makes three rather ludicrous statements.

First, if Hollywood Private Hospital were to be transferred to City of Perth jurisdiction then Nedlands would lose $630,000 of rate revenue.

Of course, Nedlands would then have to curtail expenditure or increase rates.

Such a transfer would mean Perth would get away scot free, because it would obviously not have to allocate any outlays specifi cally for the Hollywood ward, as Nedlands would have done.

Second, Mr Taylor’s answer to the problem is simply to axe $600,000 of budgeted ex-penditure allocated to strategic planning.

However, has he forgotten that every council must, under local government legislation, set aside a stipulated percent-age for such planning, whether ultimately spent or not?

I would be surprised if this level of expenditure has been reached, though legally required to be set aside.

My third comment is about the CEO’s salary level.

It may well be that the asso-ciated legislation requires the

CEO’s salary to be tied to total council expenditure.

I suggest, however, that if any council left such a calculation solely to that yardstick, it would never employ a reputable and sought-after CEO.

Mr Taylor should remember that there is a market to be tapped to obtain good-quality personnel, and while a legis-lated requirement might be one criterion to be met, any council would be most unwise to use that as the one and only

yardstick. Finally, we are all aware rates

must increase each year to allow councils to recoup their own escalating costs.

My own understanding is that rates throughout the western suburbs, and everywhere else, will increase by some 4-5% per year in the current climate.

I believe Nedlands council is no orphan in that regard.

Ken EastwoodAlexander Place, Dalkeith

The City of Perth Act is being created to further the interests of UWA, QEII and the City of Perth to the detriment of the local councils of Subiaco and Nedlands, all without proper consultation.

Is this a familiar story? The extension of their do-

main could be compared with the attempts of Rio Tinto and BHP to push smaller but more community-minded players like Andrew Forrest out of the market, a power tactic Premier Colin Barnett does not approve of, because it is not in the inter-est of the community.

The Act could have a devastat-ing impact, particularly on the residential areas of Hollywood and Crawley, that lie to the east of Hampden Road and Broadway and are currently part

of Subiaco’s South ward.Hollywood and Crawley could

become a corridor for develop-ment where ratepayers would lose local representation on issues like high density and high rise, with reduced consultation on changes to R codes.

In addition, hugely increased traffi c and parking nightmares could ruin this popular, leafy residential area, making it both hazardous and unpleasant to walk or cycle between UWA and QEII.

While there would be the distinct possibility of rate hikes, there would certainly be a loss of access to services, because residents would need to travel to the city, or even as far as Burswood, to enjoy outdoor concerts, attend fi tness classes and seniors’ activities, or even visit the library.

Ratepayers need to let their voices be heard before their leafy suburb is turned into yet another concrete jungle.

Here’s one for helmet sceptics

Grayden Provis believes that we should let cyclists decide for themselves if they should wear helmets on cycle paths (“Deadly treadly hidebound by helmet”, Letters, POST, April 18).

I’m all for power to the peo-ple, but perhaps I can inform his decision with my experi-ence.

In 28 years of adult road and path commuter cycling, I have had three spills that caused injury and all were on cycle paths at about 10-15kmh.

Two spills resulted in damage to my helmet.

The most recent of these had serious indentation of the outer shell – that would have been my skull.

I’m not a medical expert but I

suspect that I would have been in serious trouble were it not for that helmet.

In my case, wearing a hel-met prevented serious head injury, a demonstration that it is worth reducing the risk by enduring the “neck-strangling discomfort” whenever I’m in the saddle.

Swanbourne reader Bob Trotter says that after a cycling accident, he was glad it was his helmet that was damaged and not his skull.

Please support the Old Theatre Lane traders.

As Bunnings destroys the Bay View Centre, and possibly even the spirit of Claremont itself, the traders in Old Theatre Lane are suffering badly.

Pedestrian traffi c has ceased

and the stores are deluged with dust.

Many of these specialist shops have been there for years and if people do not continue to support them they may be lost forever.

We will only be left to rue the

day Claremont council saw fi t to infl ate their coffers and allow Bunnings to move to a wholly inappropriate location.

Please use them, not lose them.

Old Theatre Lane traders are struggling

I read with some angst the letter from Grayden Provis re-garding his helmet experience (“Deadly treadly hidebound by helmet”, Letters, POST, April 18).

My experience tells a differ-ent story.

More than three weeks ago, I was on a gentle ride with some friends in Busselton, on a very quiet road.

One of my friends hit a big pothole which threw him in my direction.

He stayed upright while I crashed over the top of him.

I have no memory of the crash and was knocked unconscious, taken to Busselton hospital by ambulance, assessed, and then fl own to RPH by the Royal Flying Doctor Service because I had bleeding on the brain.

My fairly new modern helmet had been crushed when my head smacked the road.

Not hard to guess the result if I had been of Grayden’s mind.

I would have no mind and possibly be a vegetable.

If his helmet is ugly, uncom-fortable and neck strangling, I suggest he buys a modern new one.

Students from St Thomas’s Primary School sang for the crowd at Earth Hour in Swanbourne’s Mayo Community Garden.

I wanted to share my grati-tude to the Mayo Community Garden, in Swanbourne, for recently organising such a won-derful inclusive family event in honour of Earth Hour.

We took our exuberant tribe (four grandchildren aged four and under), four parents and two grandparents) for a late afternoon walk to tire out the tots.

Coming down the eastern side of Allen Park hill, our troupe stumbled across a delightful set up in the Mayo garden.

Colourful balloons were tied up in a garden full of adven-tures, there was a treasure hunt for seedlings, the smells of paella and wood-fi red pizzas set off stomachs, and eco faeries

entertained the tots in making magic wands from sticks, wool and feathers and wings from old newspapers.

It truly was a paradise for tired parents/grandparents with excitable children!

And we were just in time for dinner, luckily.

As the sun set, there were music and a beautiful perform-ance by a guitarist/singer, and the kids worked themselves hard powering various lights and appliances hooked up to old stationary bicycles.

The stars put on a nice show too.

All this had been organised for the benefi t of the local com-munity, with no cost to those attending.

Our family lives in Subiaco, but that night we were so warm-heartedly welcomed that we felt as if we lived there too.

Another great positive was that the crowd never got so big that parents were fretting when their children had gone out of eyesight.

My heartfelt thanks go to you all, and we will be back next year for sure!

I hope more local, small, free food and entertainment events with an “eco” bent can be offered by all local munici-palities, as this is pretty much as good as it gets, when you’ve got little kids in tow.

More votes inopposing infi ll

Regarding the POST’s good coverage of local affairs, in this instance the report, “L’Estrange backs low den-sity” (April 4).

Sean may now back low density, but he most certainly did not back the majority of Churchlands voters who were against forced amalgamations by Premier Colin Barnett.

Sean was nowhere to be seen during Mr Barnett’s forays into trying to force change against the wishes of the people.

When we needed Churchlands MP Sean L’Estrange to stand up for us, he was AWOL.

Now that the forced amalga-mation fi asco has been beaten off, at great cost to us, Sean is back on the scene with his tail fi rmly between his legs.

What a hero, standing up for the City Beach residents who rightly did not want to be part of Stirling.

Mr Barnett cared not a whit whether they were in Cambridge or Stirling, so it was a safe side battle to take on.

In this density issue, one can be sure that the numbers have been crunched in the Liberal bunker and a cynical conclusion reached that there are more votes to be possibly retrieved in backing the anti-infi ll side.

But I ask all voters, when the time comes, to remember just what Mr Barnett tried to force on us, aided by his minions, who included Corporal Sean.

WWI medals lost from shed I am not really sure where

to begin in my search for the World War I medals of my great-grandfather, Bernard Keeley.

The medals were located in my grandfather Dennis Keeley’s shed, and he lived at 55 Salisbury Street, Subiaco.

Dennis served in World War II and due to a stroke has relo-cated to Sydney to be closer to family.

When my mum was packing up the house, she noticed the

medals for Bernard Keeley were missing.

Because she was there for only a few weeks, and because she was selling the house, she did not do anything about it.

Maybe they will never be found, but I would like to try because they are an important part of our family history.

His details are: Bernard Grover Keeley, service No. 6845, place of birth – Lawlers, WA; place of enlistment – Katanning, WA; served in Villers-Bretonneux.

I appreciate any help in fi nding my great-grandfather’s medals.

Grove’s better at consultationWhat a difference a few kilo-

metres make.Peppermint Grove council

is giving its residents 90 days to comment on its draft town planning scheme.

Cambridge council gave its residents just 45 days over the Easter/school holiday/Anzac Day period to comment on its Amendment 31, a document that had already begun its legal way to Planning Minister John Day.

Cambridge residents asked the council to delay the “consulta-tion” period to no avail.

Why did it need to be rushed?

Is it because mayor Simon Withers or some councillors think they will no longer be there after the October elec-tions?

Or is there some other rea-son?

Amendment 31 is about whole-

sale infi ll, unsuited to much of the area nominated, and it seems the majority of residents are against it.

Believe the experts who have spoken against it.

Please make sure you fi ll in a Form 4 today and submit it to make your views known.

Science thriveson open inquiry,not censorship

In opposing funding for the Australian Consensus Centre for half-baked ideological rea-sons, the WA University Guild of Undergraduates – which, despite its grandiose title, speaks for only a minority of students (given the choice, most do not support it) – shows it knows nothing about the way science should work (“UWA think tank faces guild wrath”, POST, April 25).

Science thrives on open in-quiry, and is not afraid of where that inquiry might lead, or what orthodoxies or vested interests it might upset.

Censorship and supressing dissent from the prevailing orthodoxy are no way to arrive at truth.

Stalin ruined Soviet agricul-tural science by insisting it conform to the theories of the fraud, Lysenko, without discus-sion or debate.

The Nazis tried to suppress the works of the Jewish Einstein and succeeded only in crippling their own science.

They organised a petition by a herd of Nazi professors claim-ing Einstein was wrong.

He commented: “If I am wrong, one would have been enough.”

Negotiating is not always possible

Carole Peters rightly decries the horror of war and the dev-astating effects of war (“Anzac lessons”, Letters, POST, April 25).

Ms Peters is then highly criti-cal of our federal government for spending too much time “ramping up fear and too little time considering alternatives to sending more troops off to war”.

She also writes that “it’s time to look at intelligent and negoti-ated peaceful alternatives”.

That sounds fantastic, but does she have any suggestions about how to negotiate with the perpetrators of the current threat to world peace?

What in my opinion is woolly-minded, idealistic and impracti-cal thinking is not going to help in this crisis.

Bringing justice to the ‘hoodMore and more neighbourhood justice

courts are appearing in countries from the US and UK to Belgium and South Africa.

They are community-focused courts that har-ness the power and energies of the judiciary, local communities and service providers to bring about better outcomes for people who come into contact with the legal system.

There is only one in Australia, in Melbourne.

UWA senior law lecturer Sarah Murray will give a talk titled Bringing Justice to the ’Hood: Is There a Home for Neighbourhood Courts in Australia?

She will explore her research into neigh-bourhood justice courts and the potential for them in WA.

The lecture for the Institute of Advanced Studies is at 6pm on Thursday, May 7, in UWA’s Webb Lecture Theatre, Geography Building.

Entry is free, but RSVP is required via www.ias.uwa.edu.au/lectures/murray.

Family memories fuel new Hills book

An abandoned Aboriginal boy is found by three children in a chook pen fi ghting dogs for scraps.

This is the starting point for a new book by Hills author Linda J. Bettenay, who weaves his-tory – like the imposition of the 1905 Aborigines Act – into fi ction about WA’s past.

Linda will talk about her latest book, Wishes for Starlight, at the Cambridge library on Thursday, May 7.

She has tapped into her father’s and grandfa-ther’s memories for the book, which is anchored in the Hills – Canning Mills, Karragullen, Kalamunda, Araluen, Roleystone, Kelmscott and Armadale.

The plight of the boy is shown through the prism of the discrimination and racism of the time, the establishment of Aboriginal re-serves and the gradual removal of rights from Aboriginal people.

The talk will be from 10.30am to noon at the Cambridge library and bookings can be made by calling 9383 8999 or emailing library@cam-bridge.wa.gov.au.

Friends unite in the fight for lifeEnchi Fonda died two years

ago of ovarian cancer, as did her mother before her.

Now two of her friends are holding an art exhibition to raise money and aware-ness of ovarian cancer in the hope that her daughter will be able to avoid the same fate.

Arianne Morley and Rowena Keall-Walsh met Enchi when their children were all in kindergarten at Hollywood Primary School about 10 years ago.

“At that time Enchi was having her fi rst round of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer,” Arianne said.

“I was fortunate to have had such an amazing lady with a great sense of humour as my friend.”

She said Enchi had es-caped from communist Hungary at 22 for a better life in Australia.

“She was so appreciative of the excellent health care in Australia and she was very open about the fact that she would have died so much earlier in Hungary,” Arianne said.

“She use to joke, ‘I just won’t die’.

“I dropped her at the hos-pital on her 47th birthday for treatment of cancer symp-

toms. She died in hospital two days later.”

Arianne, who is director of Rokeby GP, and Rowena, an artist, are launching the art show this Friday, May 1, with an evening of apéritifs, art and awareness at the sur-gery, upstairs at 142 Rokeby Road, Subiaco.

Rowena’s oils, mostly local landscapes, will be displayed on the walls and the medical staff will be dressed for Ovarian Cancer White Shirt Day.

The exhibition is then open to the public from 12.30 to 5pm on May 2 and 10am to 4pm on May 3. The

paintings will remain on the walls of the practice for the whole of May.

Part proceeds of the painting sales will go to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

Arianne said the founda-tion’s aim was to raise aware-ness of ovarian cancer and to develop a test to detect this disease at an early stage.

The cause of ovarian cancer remains largely un-known, with only 5% to 10% of cases being genetic.

There is no early detec-tion test for ovarian cancer – pap smears do not detect the disease.

Join John and rattle a can for MNDJohn Flood will be a col-

lector for the Motor Neurone Disease Association of WA’s annual street appeal on Friday, May 15.

His sister died of the disease early last year, and Mr Flood has been volunteering with MNDAWA, which is based in Nedlands, ever since.

Mr Flood said the street ap-peal not only helped to spread the word about the devastating effects of MND, but also raised much-needed money to help patients and carers.

“Raising money to assist MND sufferers and their families can help make their lives a bit easier as medical expenses and equipment can place a real strain on fi nances,” he said.

“I’d urge anyone with a few hours to spare on May 15 to make contact with the associa-tion and offer to help out, par-ticularly anyone who perhaps had a family member or friend diagnosed with the illness.

“Helping to fundraise for MND is an incredibly reward-ing thing to do.”

The Motor Neurone Disease Association urgently needs people to shake tins and is asking locals to consider volunteering a few hours or consider making donations when they see collectors out and about.

Motor neurone disease is a terminal illness and the organisation supports fami-lies living with this disease in WA.

Anyone who can spare a few hours on Friday, May 15, should contact admin@mndawa.asn.au.

Each donor will receive a blue cornfl ower, the organi-sation’s symbol of hope for people living with MND.

The Motor Neurone Disease Association of WA is a not-for-profi t organisation that

provides support and equip-ment for people living with Motor Neurone Disease and their families.

MNDAWA has provided support for people living with MND since 1983. It also

provides education and net-working support to health care professionals who work beside people with MND and is committed to annually contributing funds to motor neurone disease research.

Special tie for an old saltLocal sailing legend Jon

Sanders has become the fi fth honorary member of the world wide Ocean Cruising Club, to add to his many other honours.

Jon (75), who is just back from his ninth world circumnaviga-tion, was a bit bemused by one of his gifts, a membership tie.

He remarked that he did not have much occasion to wear ties as he was permanently crossing one of the oceans of the world.

He said he would display it in a place of pride on his boat,

Perie Banou II. He was presented with his

latest honour at the Royal Perth Yacht Club in Crawley by Commodore John Franklin of the Ocean Cruising Club (OCC).

Jon has been perpetually at sea since he was a teenager and has mentored and trained many young people.

One of his many achievements was to be the fi rst single-handed sailor to remain continuously at sea twice around the world.

He is now looking forward to his 10th world circumnaviga-tion.

The OCC has its central of-fi ce in the UK and Commodore Franklin came from the UK to present Jon’s membership.

The OCC, which exists to en-courage ocean sailing around the world, has no physical club-house but has a more diverse membership and international reach than any other sailing organisation.

One of the other five hon-orary members is Sir Robin Knox-Johnson, the fi rst person to perform a single-handed non-stop circumnavigation of the globe.

Publicity-shy solo sailor Jon Sanders tells Commodore John Franklin, of the Ocean Cruising Club, that he does not have much need for a necktie.

Birthday date for seniorsThe Nedlands branch of

National Seniors is inviting people to its 10th birthday celebrations on June 2.

Before the lunch there will be a special meeting where June McDonald, chair of the group’s state policy advisory group, and a representative from the Premier’s department will outline the important contributions National Seniors

has made to the formulation of public policy.

The meeting is at 10am on Tuesday, June 2, at Drabble House in Webster Street, Nedlands (behind the library on the corner of Webster Street and Stirling Highway).

The lunch after the meet-ing will be at 12.30pm at the Nedlands Golf Club.

David Carvosso, chairman of the board of National Seniors, will be the guest speaker.

David will set out the organi-sation’s vision in these chal-lenging times for over-50s.

Big changes in Birdie’s first 100 yearsBirdie Duke has an iron grip

when she shakes hands.It is one of the many surprises

about Birdie, of Mt Claremont, who celebrated her 100th birth-day last week.

A mischievous sense of humour was another, as she reminded her daughters, Jan and Maureen, of some of the stories about them she had left out of her speech at a big family party in Swanbourne the day before.

They were the only children she and her husband Terry had, she said.

“We kept trying but nothing happened,” she giggled.

Birdie and Terry met on Perth railway station when her brother introduced them.

“I had a few boyfriends, but when I met him I thought, he is the one,” she said.

And he was: they had been married for nearly 70 years when he died.

They were engaged for two years.

“You had to have a long en-gagement in those days,” she said. “You had to get your glory box together.

When she was born, she was named Muriel, like her mother.

But a family friend said the name was too harsh for a baby and she was nicknamed Birdie, again like her mother.

She said her fi rst memories were of a big party and cel-ebration that marked the end of World War I.

Her father, Tom Henderson, was a leading hand at the Midland railway workshops.

When the family built a house, it was the fi rst time they had

had electricity.“It was marvellous, no more

candles,” she said.“It was a half-a-mile walk to

the phone box if you needed to make a call.

“Now I see young people walk-ing half a mile with their mobile phone to their ear.”

Technology had brought the biggest changes in her fi rst 100 years she said, and recalled see-ing Sputnik passing over.

Sputnik was the fi rst satellite, launched in 1957, and its orbit took it over WA.

When World War II broke out, her younger brother, Tom, signed up and became part of Bomber Command.

At 27, he was pilot of one of two Halifax bombers shot down over Laval, France, and has since been specially honoured at a ceremony.

Birdie said she had gone to see where he was buried.

Birdie left school at 14 to look after her mother.

“She had been told she had 12 months to live,” she said.

“She lived until she was in her 90s, but she was always frail.”

Birdie said she would have liked to be a hairdresser but she had not had the opportunity. Instead she worked at Boans during sales and at Christmas.

When her husband was in the army, he studied accountancy via a correspondence course and finished it off when he came home.

“He loved to study,” Birdie said.

They began to travel in their 50s, discovering a love of cruis-ing.

They travelled to South America, England and Canada

and all over Australia through their hobby, lawn bowls.

Birdie is a past club champion bowler, a title her daughter Maureen recently chalked up too.

“I was nervous, but Mum gave me her badge to put in my pocket for luck,” Maureen said.

Birdie said when she was 80 she had gone snorkelling with dolphins for the fi rst time.

Birdie and Terry were among the fi rst residents at Lisle Lodge, the fi rst retire-

ment village in Mt Claremont, 30 years ago.

“It was the best thing we did,” she said. “We threw ourselves into everything, and there were lots of things to do.”

Birdie has two daughters, fi ve grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Relatives from London and interstate fl ew in for the birth-day party at the Church of the Resurrection in Swanbourne. And some of her great-grand-children called from Germany to sing Happy Birthday to her.

Congratulations came from all over when Birdie Duke, of Mt Claremont, turned 100 last week.

Taking music back to his old school

Clarinettist Geoffrey Bourgault will return to his old school for a special concert on Wednesday, before play-ing with the WA Symphony Orchestra on Friday and Saturday.

The concert at Churchlands Senior High School on May 6 is the fi rst of the Churchlands Chamber Music series for 2015.

Geoffrey, former principal clarinet with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, will per-form the Brahms clarinet trio opus 114.

Churchlands’ choral coordina-tor Paul Sealey said: “Chamber musicians revere Brahms’ cham-

ber works as some of the most satisfying music ever written.

“Being a late work, it repre-sents some of his fi nest and most expressive.”

Chamber series regulars, vio-linist Semra Lee-Smith, cellist Jon Tooby and pianist Graeme Gilling, will combine for an exciting rendition of Smetana’s Piano Trio in G minor.

The recital is in the new Churchlands Concert Hall at 20 Lucca Street at 7pm on Wednesday, May 6.

The audience can meet the musicians afterwards over light refreshments.

Tickets ($40, $35 concession, $15 students) can be booked at www.trybooking.com/7833.

The Aboriginal innovatorsArchaeological sites in the southern

Kimberley contain a 50,000-year-long sequence of evidence of Aboriginal resilience and abil-ity to adapt.

Archaeologist Jane Balme, who fi rst visited the Kimberley in the late 1970s, will talk about this resilience at the May 6 meeting of the Kimberley Society.

The fi rst people arrived in Australia by water craft from South-East Asia, where they relied on the rich resources of the sea.

Yet they rapidly spread through their new di-verse environment with their fl exible economy, adapting and inventing as they went.

Dr Balme, who is associate dean (research) in UWA’s Faculty of Arts, will look at this ability to innovate at the meeting, which is at 7.15 for 7.30pm in Dalkeith Hall, 97 Waratah Avenue.

Entry is $2, free for members.

All the buzz is about the bazaarThere is something special about

the fl avour of natural honey, and it does not come more natural than the honey produced by retired couple Rita and John Chadwick.

Rita will bring her honey from the Chittering Valley to the bazaar run by St Hilda’s Old Scholars Association in Mosman Park next Saturday.

Rita said she and John started their bee adventure four years ago with one hive and now their hobby had grown into a passion.

“We were amazed at being able to produce the most delicious, raw, unprocessed honey without the use of sprays, pesticides or heating the honey,” Rita said.

“WA is an amazing place to work with honey-bees as it is the last bas-tion in the world of largely disease and pest-free honey bees.”

Their bees are mainly in the Chittering area, where they have a property, and on sites along the Darling Ranges.

“Our honey is predominantly from

fl owering eucalypts, each of which provides different coloured and tasting honey,” Rita said. “No two harvests are ever exactly the same.”

To taste some Chittering Valley Honey, head to St Hilda’s Chidley campus in McCabe Street, between 10am and 4pm on Saturday, May 9.

There will be plenty of other special wares for sale.

There will be beautiful hats made by Rose Crane, from Kojonup, and amazing leather-look ceramics created by Beste Ogan.

Check out Camilla Sundblach’s Xquisit Organics and Jodie Huggins’ Scrumpy soap.

The Old Scholars will run a vintage /retro clothing stall and the Year 10s will have a biscuit stall.

Photographer Gitte Eyres is sell-ing Say It With Roses greeting cards that support the Amanda Young Foundation.

There will be loads of entertain-ment during the day, provided by the students. Rita Chadwick started with one bee hive and now has a passion for beekeeping.

Amana Living gets a special visitorAmana Living’s new patron,

Governor Kerry Sanderson, had a look at the group’s Claremont facility on Stirling Highway last Monday.

Amana Living coordinates 18,000 home-care visits a month from the former Sundowner Centre, and its new customer service centre is based there.

The organisation is planning to de-velop the site into an over-55s housing complex.

Mrs Sanderson quizzed staff on the evolution of aged care and its changing needs, demands and challenges.

She became patron following former Governor Malcolm McCusker’s retire-ment.

CEO Ray Glickman said he was very pleased Mrs Sanderson had taken up the baton.

“Her visit was a great opportunity to showcase a facility renewal in response to need, as well as the evolution of aged care towards a focus on the customer and an increasing demand for home-care services,” he said.

The Governor toured the new transi-tion care facility at Sundowner and met home-care and customer service staff over tea.

The Transition Care Program is a Commonwealth initiative that provides short-term restorative care for older people after a hospital stay.

The aim is to help them regain inde-

pendence and give them more time to make decisions about their longer-term living options.

Services include low-intensity physi-otherapy and occupational therapy, as

well as social work support, nursing and personal care.

The WA Health Department allocates TCP places, and awarded 65 to Amana Living last year.

Amana Living’s general manager customer service innovation Greg Massam intro-duces Governor Kerry Sanderson to the facility’s workers.

Netball starts with a roarThe Perth Netball Association season is just

around the corner and the Perth Lions are hoping for a big crowd of supporters at their inaugural home game at the new State Netball Centre this Sunday, May 3.

It is a chance to cheer for the local team and to see the new netball centre in action.

The day will have a Lions theme, including masks, clappers and face painting.

Coaching clinics will start from 8.30 before the 18s match at 11.05am, featuring the Subiaco Football Club cheer squad.

At 12.20pm the league match will get under way with added entertainment provided by WAAPA music theatre students.

The cheer squad will be back in action at 1.40pm for the reserves match and between matches there will be plenty to watch, with young players taking part in Net Set Go.

Food, drinks and raffl es will be available all day with proceeds going to the Perth Lions Netball Region.

Have you lost this medal?Ted Radford saw something glitter-

ing on the median strip in Thomas Street near King’s Park as he drove past on Tuesday.

He parked and walked back to fi nd a medal that he thinks was dropped by someone attending the dawn service on Anzac Day.

He would like to return the unusual medal, which was about 50m from the traffic lights at the intersection of Thomas Street and King’s Park Road.

The medal, which dates from before World War I, is inscribed: “11189 TRP H. McTernan 51st Coy 17th IMPL YEO.”

Ted has phoned the RSL but no one has phoned in looking for the lost medal.

The medal is not Australian and the RSL has no record of it.

If you have lost the medal, call the POST on 9381 3088.

Coaches who have lived on the edge

Guests were given a rare insight into the world of elite coaching at a dinner at the Reabold Tennis Club recently.

Three outstanding professional sports coaches treated them to stories of the high and lows of elite coaching at an event with the theme Peacock or Feather Duster.

Ron Alexander, Mickey Arthur and Alan Black provided very valuable insights to the old saying that there are two types of coaches: those who have been sacked and those about to be sacked.

The night included a three-course meal, fundraising auctions, a raffl e and a panel discussion featuring the coaches.

Ron Alexander, who played 133 AFL games, 174 WAFL games and represented WA in 13 state games, was the inaugural coach of the West Coast Eagles and former East

Fremantle head coach.Mickey Arthur played more than

100 games of fi rst-class cricket in South Africa, and coached South Africa, Australia and the WA Warriors.

Alan Black, played nine seasons in the NBA, the last three with the Perth Wildcats, and coached the Wildcats, Illawarra Hawks, Sydney Kings and Cairns Taipans in the NBA.

He was assistant coach of the Australian team.

They entertained the crowd for over an hour, giving rare insight into the challenges and rewards of professional sport.

Summing it up, Associate Professor Harry Phillips, a political commen-tator and long-term club member, said: “You could read a dozen books and never get the sporting insights we were given by the excellent speakers.”

Sporting insights … The ups and downs of coaching were canvassed by, from left, Alan Black, Mickey Arthur and Ron Alexander at a dinner at Reabold Tennis Club.

A foray into Sammy Cahn songbook

You may not know much about legendary American lyricist Sammy Cahn, but you will defi nitely know his songs.

His timeless words will be ringing out at The Ellington Jazz Club next weekend when Shenton Park singer Laura Bernay and her six-piece band present All My Way.

Laura will present a fresh interpretation of clas-sics likes Come Fly with Me, Three Coins in the Fountain, Time after Time, and All the Way.

The tribute to Sammy Cahn is written by Nicholas Christo with musical direction by Mike Nelson.

It is at 7pm on Saturday, May 9, at The Ellington, 191 Beaufort Street, Perth.

For more information and tickets, call 9228 1088.Laura Bernay

Teens take to the stageBudding teenage actors and

singers can explore their crea-tivity in short courses at the WA Academy of Performing Arts in the July school holidays.

It is a great opportunity to ac-cess WAAPA’s expert staff and facilities.

The mid-year courses in acting, music theatre and singing are for young people interested in perform-ing and learning how to audition successfully.

One course, Acting Up, runs from July 13 to 17 and offers Year 11 and 12 students specialised tuition in acting, improvisation, movement and voice.

They will create self-devised pieces to perform for family and friends at the end of the course.

For young performers wanting to enhance their music theatre skills, WAAPA offers a workshop from July 6 to 10 for teenagers 14 years and older.

WAAPA’s music theatre staff will teach ensemble singing, song and dance, jazz, acting and improvisa-tion techniques. This will also cul-minate in a musical performance for family and friends.

Places are limited and bookings are being taken.

A new playgroup for parents who speak English as a second language has been set up by St Matthew’s Anglican Church in Shenton Park.

It is designed to be a place for people to practise English and make new friends.

Coordinator Linda Wong, who came from Singapore fi ve years ago and has fi ve-year-old twins, said she was motivated to set up the new playgroup after seeing how isolated some mums with young children felt.

“I saw how well the playgroup model works,” she said. “When my children were little, I went to many playgroups, just to be able to get out of the house and meet other parents with little children.

“We saw a need to support English as a second language (ESL) parents with young chil-

dren because their families are often far away.

“This will help to create a community where their children can have a safe environment to play, where they can meet peo-ple from different backgrounds and practise conversational English.”

The founding families are from Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia and Italy but the com-mon language is English, along with laughter and smiles.

Mrs Wong has recruited a few mums from St Matthew’s to help out each week. The program includes indoor and outdoor play, music and story time and morning tea.

The playgroup meets each Friday during school term from 9.30 to 11.15am in the church hall, 114 Onslow Road.

For more information, call St Matthew’s on 9381 2640.

Special group for ESL parents

ESL families fi nd a friendly playgroup in Shenton Park.

Skye is an exuberant kelpie mix searching for an active family who can give her ongo-ing training and guidance.

She is 10 months old and loves lots of exercise.

Her ideal family will be around often to spend time with her and she is suitable for children aged 16 years and older.

Skye didn’t have a great start to life, but she is a friendly girl searching for a loving home that will help her grow into a well-mannered pet.

Team up to sport pink socks

Pink socks will be all the rage this winter in the sport-ing world.

Teams of players, from juniors to people like dual internationalo soccer and cricket star Ellyse Perry, will be sporting pink socks to support the McGrath Foundation’s Pull on Your Socks initiative.

It will run until August and sports clubs and sporty people are being asked to don the pink socks and host fundraising events.

Ellyse said: “I’ll proudly be rocking my McGrath Foundation Pink Socks this year and I hope

sports clubs and sporty people everywhere will get behind this great cause and do the same.

“It’s so simple for everyone to get involved, have some fun and help this great organisation continue to make a difference to families experiencing breast cancer.”

Every dollar raised will help the McGrath Foundation place breast care nurses in com-munities across Australia and increase breast awareness in young people.

Students pay tribute

to fallenAfter researching Hale School

students who had died in World War I, Year 8 students went to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra to honour them.

Before setting off, the 42 students learnt about the war at school and each researched a fallen soldier from the school.

To help them understand the perils and hardship of war, guest speakers visited their classes, including Hale’s past historian, Dr Bill Edgar, and Prue Cowan, the niece of a former student who died of malaria in Damascus in 1918.

In Canberra, the boys visited the War Memorial and each boy looked on the Roll of Honour for the name of his Old Haleian, placing a poppy next to it.

Curriculum support teacher Sarah Wilkinson said: ‘It really bought home the signifi cance of war to the students when they realised these soldiers were once just like them, a student at Hale School.”

During their Canberra tour, the students met Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove and Victoria Cross recipient Daniel Keighran.

They also took part in a wreath-laying ceremony in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier withVietnam veteran Adrian Roberts.

Students Cooper Brinkworth and Fletcher Sadgrove laid a wreath at the Pool of Refl ection during the Last Post Ceremony on April 23.

On Anzac Day, the students went to a very moving dawn service at the Australian War Memorial to end their tour.

Each Hale student placed a poppy on the Roll of Honour at the War Memorial in Canberra.

Bread and butter anyone?

There are plenty of op-portunities for shore-based anglers to catch bread-and-butter species along the metropolitan coast.

Herring, gardies, whiting, skippy and even tailor are smallish but are great to catch and provide a decent feed. You just have to scale down the size of the tackle.

Catching small gardies using 10kg line and a heavy beach rod is no fun at all. In fact, it would be extremely diffi cult to even feel the bite of a small fi sh using that sort of tackle.

But scale it back to a light, medium-length rod in the 3-4kg range and 3kg line and see how much fun it is – the gardies will jump and per-form just like 200kg marlin.

Wandering along the beach in the early morning casting a small lure every so often is a really relaxing way to catch herring, skippy and tailor and is what fi shing is really all about.

Targeting a particular spe-cies is always a challenge, but when you nail it, it is all worthwhile.

Sand whiting are pretty simple to catch, so try step-ping it up a notch and target their bigger cousins, yellow-fi nned whiting, which are a bit harder to catch.

These whiting are like sand whiting on steroids. Fatter, faster and tougher, they are great sport on light line.

The Swan River, from around the Swan Yacht Club through to Stirling Bridge, is a great place to start.

Using fresh bloodworms or prawns, you need to work the tides. A falling tide is usually best and don’t make the mistake of casting too far because most of the best whiting are within 5 to 10m of the river’s edge.

Yellow-fi nned whiting can also be found along the local beaches in the shallows.

Off Cottesloe’s Grant Street, or anywhere you fi nd shallow water near reef and weed, is a good spot to try for these plump tasty fi sh.

These days, many anglers who are having great success chasing sand and yellow-fi nned whiting using small hard-bodied lures.

There are still plenty of salmon hanging around, so those who enjoy the early morning walk and flick should be sure not mistake juvenile salmon for common herring.

With a $20 rod-and-reel combination, you can catch a decent feed of bread-and-butter fi sh, remembering all anglers cut their teeth on herring and whiting and it sets them in good stead for their fishing careers. And that includes me.

Fasten your seatbelt at

ScitechYou can pilot an airship, ride

on a hovercraft and control traffi c at the new exhibition opening at Scitech next weekend.

The Going Places exhibition arrives on May 9, exploring the technology of transport.

“Whether we’re grabbing grocer-ies that have come from another country, or whether we’re jumping in the car to go to work, transport touches us all every day,” Scitech CEO Alan Brien said.

“This exhibition takes a closer look at the technology behind all kinds of transport and lets visitors discover the incredible inventions that make the farthest reaches of our planet accessible.”

It will also get you thinking about where travel technology is heading in the future and about the impact of all this activity is having on the Earth.

Visitors can work out roughly how much carbon they produce each day through their travel, what impact this travel is having on the planet and how some simple changes can reduce their carbon footprint.

Tickets to the exhibition cost $17 for adults, $11 for children and $48 for mini groups.

This includes access to all exhibi-tion areas and shows.

The exhibition, which is suit-able for all ages, will run until November 8.

State picks up tab for chaplains

Every local school that applied for school chaplain funding will receive it for the next two years, says Premier and Cottesloe MP Colin Barnett.

This will include Cottesloe, Mosman Park and North Cottesloe primary schools, which missed out when the federal government reduced chaplaincy funding this year by $1.45million.

“School chaplains can be a positive in-fl uence in the lives of many students and I recognise the important role they play in offering guidance and support to young people,” Mr Barnett said.

“That is why the state government has stepped in to bridge the gap in chaplaincy funding and is providing an additional $7.75million to secure chaplaincy services in schools across the state.”

Mt Claremont primary had already secured chaplaincy funding for 2015 and 2016.

The total state government commitment for school chaplains for 2015 and 2016 is over $9.2million.

Home care packages are changing

A speaker from the Council on the Ageing will talk about changes in home care packages that will come into effect from July.

The talk will provide important information for those already receiving care and for those who may need it in the future. It will also be of interest to family, friends and carers.

It will run from 11am to noon on Thursday, May 7, at Open House for Seniors, Church of Christ, 10 Bournemouth Crescent, Wembley Downs, almost opposite the Downs Shopping Centre.

Open House, which is held each Thursday from 9.30am to noon, offers board games, guest speakers and morning tea.

Doctors find reason to run Perth doctors and medical

students representing Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA) will be running in the HBF Run for a Reason on May 24.

“We are running for healthy bodies, a healthy Perth and a healthy planet,” said former PLC student Kate Rieben, who is having to push herself to do the run.

“I will be running for the group and the cause I am passionate about, but I am not really a run-ner,” Dr Rieben said.

“In my work as a doctor, I defi nitely see the effects of in-activity.”

She said DEA was dedicated to raising awareness about the

importance of a healthy envi-ronment for healthy human beings.

“Simple things we can do like driving less, cycling instead, using public transport and eating less red meat have signifi cant fl ow-on effects in reducing pol-lution and keeping our bodies healthy,” Dr Rieben said.

She said that at a government level, DEA worked to encourage healthy policy-making, campaign-ing for transition to renewable energy, moving away from fos-sil fuels, protecting forests and increasing alternative transport options.

Anyone who would like to sponsor Dr Rieben and the other DEA runners can go to www.dea.org.au. Doctors will be running for the envoronment on May 24.

bowlingClaremont

There were good at-tendances at all social bowls events last week and members enjoyed playing on B green.

In Saturday’s mixed bowls, the winners were Dave Leeson, Ireton Parker, Jeff Bovell and Derrick Dimbleby.

In second place were Norm Underwood, P e t e r C h a n n e r , Francis Hourquebie and Maria d’Angelo.

Rick Kendall won Sunday’s scroungers from Phil Leeson.

Pétanque

At Subiaco Pétanque Club on Anzac Day, Stephanie set the scene with a display that included the Australian fl ag.

Players took part in three competitions interspersed with so-cial play.

Bill Briggs and Stephanie Corcoran won the “pointing” competition with equal scores.

The “lobbing” com-petition was won by Steve Hellwig and Sue Dauth, on equal scores, followed by Kurt Isliker.

The Anzac word competition was won by John Exeter and Thelma Dry.

Last Tuesday’s mixed bowls was again well supported by the ladies.

It resulted in a good win for the team of Joel Steinberg, Esther Scott, Estelle Boak and Brian Jackson, followed by Lynne Worland, Joan Robins, Maria Monks and John Hollingshead.

One correction to last week’s mixed

bowls results – Marg Wells and Lynne Worland managed their +18 win without the help of Peter Norris.

Last Thursday’s so-cial bowls saw a good roll-up of 36 to play triples.

The winners were Marty Adams, Billy Ridge and John Monks with +14, followed in second place by Ross Donald, John Pole and Bruce Clark with +13. Also with +13 were John McCormack, John Gadsdon (good to see you back, John G.) and Duncan McMurtrie.

The ladies played triples on Friday on fast greens and with a tricky wind.

The winners were Celia Bakker, Beryl Barblett and Anne Clements.

The team of Marg Wells, Lynne Worland and Val Hulbert also had a win.

Anzac Day bowls was won by the team of Macca, David Allen and Alex Bevan +15, followed by Darren Redeckis, Don Hicks and once again Monksy +11.

In third spot were Alek Gryta, Chris Richardson and John Galvin +2.

The Great Australian Morning Tea ($15) in aid of cancer research is at at the club at 10am on May 28, with guest speaker Ros Thomas.

Those wishing to attend are asked to call Maureen Davison 9386 2775.

The ladies played a come-when-you’re-ready competition on Tuesday.

Deirdre Duncan and Nada Bonny made an early start, followed by Anne Ormsby and Pam Forrester.

Deirdre continued her great form from the club pairs and was unbeatable . Anne and Pam were equal behind her, with Nada just a point away in fourth.

I n T h u r s d a y ’ s s c o u n g e r s , P h i l Lawler and Alan Brindley shared the points on the fi rst end while Laurie Ward geared himself for a major offensive and Colin Graves was just happy to be there.

At the fi nal count, Laurie (30pts) took the honours from Phil (29pts), Alan (15pts) and Colin (13pts).

Saturday winter bowls got off to a cau-tious start with a pair and a triple.

In the pairs, Pam Forrester and John Hall took on the might of Ray Fells and Bill Chellew in a titanic struggle for supremacy.

Going into the last end, Ray and Bill held a three-shot lead until John drew one shot with his fi rst bowl followed by two delightful draw bowls from Pam to tie the score.

A count-back gave the game to Pam and John.

The triples pitted Bob Porter, Graeme Gerrans and Laurie Ward against the team of Phil Lawler, Colin Graves and Alan Brindley.

Even though the Brindley team opened the scoring with a seven, it was a one-sided affair, with the Ward team playing a close checking game to run out winners 19/10.

Can you offer a lift?

More volunteer drivers are needed by the Leukaemia Foundation for its trans-port service.

The courtesy service is designed to re-lieve the pressure faced by individuals and families affected by blood cancer.

Volunteer drives transport people to and from their treating hospital for their medi-cal appointments.

“During treatment, a person’s immune system is severely weakened, so catch-ing public transport can be dangerous due to possible infections,” said Andrew York, general manager of the Leukaemia Foundation.

All volunteer drivers undergo an applica-tion process and on-the-job training.

If you are interested in becoming a vol-unteer driver and can spare one day per fortnight, contact the Leukaemia Foundation on 1800 620 420.

In 1937, Samuel Goldwyn asked new Broadway choreographer George Balanchine to come to Hollywood to work with him on the fi lm, Goldwyn’s Follies (1938).

The fi lm included a Romeo and Juliet number with a mock duel between the ballet-

dancing Montagues and the tap-dancing Capulets.

Balanchine’s biographer Bernard Taper records that Goldwyn organised a meet-ing between choreographer Balanchine and composer George Gershwin.

It turned into an extraordinarily comical encounter, with Gershwin reportedly “interpreting” for

the Russian Balanchine in fake pidgin English.

Balanchine demanded an interpreter for the interpreter.

Before the two Georges could actually get down to working together, Gershwin was struck down with a brain tumour.

Over the following decade or so, Balanchine was the

toast of Broadway and Hollywood.

In 1970, 33 years after his bizarre encounter with Gershwin, Balanchine choreographed Who Cares? to 16 of Gershwin’s songs composed between 1924 and 1931.

This dance piece evoking the exuberance of

Who cares? We do.

It was a normal Saturday evening and my boyfriend

was playing a game on my mobile phone. So I grabbed his phone and as I did, a fl irty text appeared from another woman. I was in complete shock.

I asked him who the woman was and he said she was someone he dated at uni. He said that they still occasionally speak and that she “likes to fl irt”.

I told him I did not fi nd that acceptable.

I asked if he fl irted back and he admitted he did. I asked if he ever did anything sexual with her behind my back. He

swore he never did in the two years we’ve been together.

We had a huge argument and I threatened to leave him and move back home with my parents. He begged me not to go. He was apologetic and even cried. In front of me he told her not to contact him again and she agreed.

I forgave him, but now I’m having a hard time trusting him. Whenever I see him texting, I wonder who it’s with. I have an urge to check his phone whenever he steps away.

I love him, but there are days I want to jump in my car, drive away and never look back. My emotions are like the weather. I could talk to my family

about it, but they like my boyfriend, and if I tell them what happened, they will not trust him again.

I know he made a mistake. I know deep in my heart he is very sorry. I don’t want to be angry and resentful any more at all. I want to trust him again, but I just can’t.

Amber

Amber, when Iago, one of Shakespeare’s villains, says “oft my jealousy

shapes faults that are not”, is he describing you? We ask because the evidence against your boyfriend is weak. One fl irty text is bantering, not betrayal.

In the absence of established ground rules between the two of you, this doesn’t constitute a violation. Or is this where you are coming from? Holding this over his head makes you feel superior. Henceforth, you can carry him around like a dog with a bone in its mouth.

People are not bones. We would not subject him to your suspicious gaze for the rest of his life. Unless you can accept his explanation this time, end the relationship.

I would love to know what men really think. While Mars men claim not to understand Venus women, women are simply aware that men won’t tell the truth.

It’s one of the few insights to emerge from a play that seeks, but fails to get to the heart of men’s

hearts.Three guys and one

counsellor attempt to get away from it all by meeting in a scout hall in the middle of nowhere (the fantastic scouting memorabilia and fl ags all generously on loan from the Wembley Scout group), where they are sup-posed to unload and share.

Writer and director Tom Jeffcote was a men’s alco-hol and drug counsellor for many years and says that many of the lines in his

play have come from his own sessions.

And yet, sadly, his dra-matised counsellor, a rather wimpy and faintly desper-ate Neil (Matthew Kiely), has some of the weakest lines in the play, and fol-lows themes without logic and, more importantly, without conclusion.

Momentary drama is provided outside the hall, but inside, the stories of a star student Mawkie (Danen Engelenberg), who

has resorted drugs, a faded rock-star Robbie (Ben Weirheim), who wants to see his daughter, and a for-mer soldier Quentin (Joel Sammels), who has suffered post-traumatic stress, are sadly familiar, but also sadly lacking in dramatic impact.

Danen gives a strong performance at the angry young man as does Joel as the earnest soldier, whose disjointed and out-of-context moments provide much of the humour.

Hearts still in darkness

■ Rocker Robbie (Ben Weirheim), beseiged counsellor Neil (Matthew Kiely) and drug addict Mawkie (Danan Engelenberg) are all defeated and divided in trying to access their emotions.

REVIEW: SARAH McNEILL

Who cares? We do

New York City life was inspired by an old song called Who Cares? which George and Ira Gershwin wrote in 1931.

The dancers of the WA Ballet will perform Who Cares? when they celebrate the great Balanchine this month in a program called Embraceable You at His Majesty’s Theatre.

They will also dance his Concerto Barocco, which premiered at the New York City Ballet in 1948 and has become one of its signature works, and his Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux.

The pas de deux was created in 1953, after a long lost musical number from Act III of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake was rediscovered.

To complete the tribute to the so-called Mr B, the WA Ballet’s principal dancer and choreographer Jayne Smeulders has created her own piece, Tarantella, inspired by Mr

B’s style and set to the brilliance of a Gottschalk piano rhapsody.

Balanchine choreographed 425 ballets and other dances for shows and fi lms, but only around 100 still exist.

His works are administered through the George Balanchine Trust and it is a long and arduous process to get permission to perform his chorography.

He bequeathed many of his works to his leading dancers, so negotiating rights could be tricky, said WA Ballet’s artistic director Aurelian Scannella.

Balanchine is described as the father of American ballet, for redefi ning a 400-year-old language of movement into a heightened, expanded, streamlined language, but American choregrapher Twyla Tharp puts it more simply:

“Balanchine is God.”■ Embraceable You: A Celebration of Balanchine is at His Majesty’s Theatre from May 15 to 30.

The Perth International Comedy Festival kicked off this week at the Regal Theatre with 12 comedians giving a few minutes of their stand-up schtick.

The delightful host Joel Creasey had the good grace to poke fun at the soy-candle-

loving Mt Lawleyians, while the rest took boringly age-old pot shots at Midland and Armadale.

STPOST, May 2, 2015 – Page 87

“I am always in a state of fear,” writes WA author Liz Byrski in her new book In Love and War.

“The intensity of it varies but it’s always part of who I am … My body is always tense, my mind roaming – searching out danger where it doesn’t exist, expecting that something terrible is about to happen.”

In her book, Liz is brutally honest about herself and the fears and nightmares that have plagued her throughout her life.

It took a journey back to her childhood home in East Grinstead in the UK to fi nd the answer.

“I have spent my whole life writing about other people’s problems, interviewing people and recognising their issues,”Liz said this week.

“I was approaching 70 when I realised I needed to do something about these

nightmares.East Grinstead, where

Liz grew up, was home to a remarkable hospital run by the charismatic surgeon Archibald McIndoe, who developed revolutionary reconstructive techniques and plastic surgery for severely burnt airmen.

Just as remarkable as his successful facial reconstructions was his ability to engage the entire town in supporting these disfi gured men who became known as the Guinea Pig Club.

The townsfolk were schooled and skilled in not turning away, not staring in horror and not looking shocked. Instead they drank with the men, shared meals with them and welcomed them back into daily life.

Liz was just a child, but realises now that the nightmarish misshapen faces that became part of her subconscious

came from her parents’ misguided idea of protecting her.

“They didn’t tell me, they didn’t explain,” Liz said. “My mother just said, ‘they’re heroes from World War II but that’s all over now’.

“I have never found anyone who was as scared as I was.

“I don’t remember the war – I was born in 1944. All the war meant to me was the monstrous faces of those men. Once it was explained to me that my dreams came from that period of my life, the dreams stopped completely. Why didn’t I work that out for myself?”

Instead it took months researching and interviewing World War II burns victims and

their nurses, a book and just three sessions with a therapist for Liz to fi nally recognise and come to terms with the images that have plagued her.

When Liz made the journey home to make peace with her memories, she had intended to write another novel based on the

Guinea Pig Club, but as her research developed she became entangled – and enraged – by the little-known story of the nurses who helped McIndoe’s burnt airmen come to terms with life.

McIndoe’s hospital did away with all the rules and norms of the day. The

wards were made to look like a home away from home and the patients were free to behave as badly and wildly as they liked.

They were also allowed other liberties with nurses, chosen as much for their good looks as for their ability not to fl inch at horrifi c injuries. The nurses were expected to make the men feel good about themselves.

Liz quickly became caught up in searching for nurses’ stories.

“I was enraged by what I learnt from both the men and the women, but you can’t bring a 21st century feminist attitude to this situation,” she said. “The women rationalised it as ‘doing their bit for the war’.

“I wasn’t prepared for the memorialisation, which has formed such a fi rm crust over their memories.”

As an ardent feminist, Liz said: “I’m still horrifi ed, but I try not to judge them. If I’m judgemental, it is about McIndoe. But he did save these men’s lives, not just physically but mentally.”

It took Liz years to fi nally decide how to tell the stories of the Guinea Pigs, the nurses and ultimately her own unwitting involvement in their rehabilitation. It is a wonderfully evocative blend of personal journal, historical fact and vivid recollections from those who lived through an extraordinary time.

“It is an enormous relief,” she said as she launched the book this week.

The book that made the nightmares stop

In the introduction to his book, Dreaming Too Loud, and his spin-off stage presentation, Geoffrey Robertson QC examines Australia’s connection with its own history, and its sense of itself as a multicultural, “fair go”, self-determining country.

“A nation that does not hon-our its heroes condemns itself to an undistinguished future,” he writes on Australia’s failure to memorialise its “founding father … the fi rst and fi nest white Australian”, Captain Arthur Phillip.

His list of people we should memorialise includes Yemmerrawannie, the 19-year-old Aborigine Captain Philip took to England and whose remains have been lost, and Tom Curnow, the forgotten hero behind the downfall of the notorious Kelly gang at Glenrowan – and the

inspiration behind the title of Robertson’s book.

Ned Kelly instructed Tom Curnow to go home to bed: “And don’t dream too loud, or you’re a dead man.”

He says most Australians have never heard of “Doc” Herbert Evatt, the Australian high court judge who estab-lished the Charter of the United Nations.

He writes: “We persist in the

disingenuous belief that it was Gallipoli that ‘put Australia on the map’ … in fact it was Evatt’s performance at the post-war Peace Conference in 1945-6 and in the fi rst years of the UN that demonstrated how a small country could emerge as an intellectual leader...”

Robertson, who cancelled his appearance at the Perth Writers’ Festival in February, said his aim in touring Australia with a live show was primarily to address Australia’s current human rights issues, “the importance of human rights and how Australia might better contribute to them”.

REWIND■ The Avengers: Age of Ultron (M)

✪ ✪ ✪ ✪½ “It’s all operatically mad, and the city-destroying fi nal confrontation is becom-ing a bit familiar, but [Joss] Whedon carries it off with such joy and even a kind of evangelism,” says The Guardian. But The New Yorkers disagrees: “First, you try to understand what the hell is going on. Then you slowly realise that you will never understand what is going on. And, last, you wind up with the distinct impression that, if there was anything to understand, it wasn’t worth the sweat.”

■ The Longest Ride (M) ✪ ✪ ½ “Everything in the movie is suffused by a vision of life that is resoundingly and evidently false, but as this vision is not repulsive, but is intended to reassure, the lies don’t produce anger or frustration. No, they bring on the laughs,” says the San Francisco Chronicle. The Guardian, still reeling from the last Nicholas Sparks adaptation, Safe Haven, “in which it is revealed that one of the major charac-ters was actually a ghost”, says: “It’s dumb, it’s long, it’s dull, but it isn’t quite bad enough to be camp.”

■ Unfriended (TBC) ✪ ✪ ✪ “What kind of a movie takes place entirely on one screwed-up teen’s com-puter screen? That would be Unfriended, a creep-you-out experiment in terror that damn near pulls off every trick up its cyber sleeve,” says Rolling Stone. The LA Times reckons: “As a harangue about cyberbullying, it’s purely exploita-tive, but when Unfriended zeros in on the whiplash mixture of freedom and torment we get from multitasking our online lives? It’s srsly fun, imo.”

What the critics are saying…

cinema

Roslyn Burns will be the featured artist in a new exhibition of works at the Activ Library in Wembley.

Roslyn is severely disabled and has limited movement.

Her physical and emotional release from the confi nes of a wheelchair manifests as bold and colourful artworks she makes by holding a paint brush in her left foot.

She is one of 59 artists showing their work in an exhibition hosted by Activ, WA’s largest not-for-profi t disability service.

In its second year, Activ Artspace features original art pieces created by people living with disability.

Curator David Moore said the works he had chosen – one from each artist – were of an extremely high calibre across watercolour, oil, acrylic and photography.

Roslyn’s fl agship piece will be auctioned at the exhibition’s opening night, with all money raised from the auction going towards supporting Activ’s artists.

Roslyn is also one of the judges of the exhibition. There will be three judges for paintings and two judges for photography, with prizes for the best representational work, the best abstract and an encouragement award. There will also be a People’s Choice award.

A selection of pieces will be for sale, with all the proceeds going back to the artists.

David said: “Last year, one artist wrote, ‘I paint so you know how I feel’. That sums up this exhibition for me.”

■ Activ Artspace runs from May 9 to 17 at the Activ Library, 327 Cambridge Street, Wembley.

Mostly known as the writer and sometimes-director of a long trail of romantic comedies (Love, Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones’s Diary), Richard Curtis seems to have picked an unlikely project with his latest fi lm, Trash.

It is an adaptation, directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot), of Andy Mulligan’s 2010 young-adult novel about street kids working in the garbage dumps of Brazil. It’s gritty fare, but its screenplay still bears some signature Curtis moves, particularly his penchant

for a happy ending. Daldry sets the scene

effi ciently. A couple of young urchins, Raphael and Gardo (Rickson Tevis and Eduardo Luis, both fi rst-time actors) sift through garbage while elsewhere a businessman, Jose Angelo (Wagner Moura), appears to be planning a quick exit.

The cops catch up with Angelo and he bolts, managing to ditch a wallet into a passing garbage truck before he is captured, beaten and killed.

Of course, Raphael fi nds the wallet at the dump and is intrigued by its contents. The police (led by Selton

Mello) soon turn up asking questions but the boys have stashed it with their sewer-dwelling buddy Rato (Gabriel Weinstein).

Raphael is determined to fi nd what the cops are really after and with a little unsuspecting help from the local priest (Martin Sheen) and an American volunteer teacher (Rooney Mara), the boys start digging – and before long they’re in way too deep.

The adventure that follows is as tense and briskly entertaining as it is unlikely, with rooftop chases and train station feats that would make Jason Bourne sweat.

Indeed, it moves at a clip but is just a bit too lucky for a story set in the perilous slums of Rio. It is impossible not to be reminded of Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire and even his earlier fi lm Millions – they all feature young boys stumbling upon large sums of money.

But even if audiences will have to suspend

both their cynicism and disbelief, it still makes for an appealing adventure story for teens and an eye-opening window into the corruption and poverty of a

developing nation.For a shocking, truer

depiction of the slums of Rio, the fi lm to see remains Fernando Meirelles’s City of God (2002).

For a softer-edged foray into the favelas, Trash (which credits Meirelles as an executive producer) is both charming and hopeful.

These were generic labels named mainly after European regions. Those days are well gone and thankfully we have now moved on to varietal and descriptive wine labels, riesling, chardonnay, shiraz and late-picked etc. We were motivated to change by our European friends who expressed, through many avenues, their disappointment in the way we labelled our wine. As they were importing much more Australian wine to their shores than they were exporting to us, it made economical sense to conform to their requests. The one name we found diffi cult to leave alone was champagne. It was brilliantly marketed around the world by the French as a celebratory wine, it had an elite and sexy image, was of high quality and most consumers loved it. A few Australian wineries were a little slow to remove champagne from their labels, but common sense and the law eventually prevailed and it has now been over 20 years since we have seen the word adorning our sparkling-wine labels. There is only one champagne, and that is the sparkling wine made in the well-defi ned region of Champagne,

150km north-east of Paris. Winemakers just outside the boundary using the same grapes and methods to make sparkling wine are forbidden to call it champagne, so it makes sense that Australians, 15,000km away, follow suit. Imagine the French calling one of their wines Margaret River. Sacré bleu! The Australian wine industry has complied with regulations, and now, as consumers, it’s our turn. Unfortunately most Aussie wine drinkers still call our sparkling wine, champagne. Call it sparkling wine, a sparkler, bubbles, fi zz, froth, brut or sec, but never champagne. Because it’s not!

Brown Bros NV Pinot Noir Chardonnay Pinot MeunierAs reliable as a hot Perth summer, this has been one of our favourite Aussie sparklers for over a decade. It’s a bottle-fermented wine with obvious bready lees infl uence, a generous fl avour impact on the palate and cleansing acid fi nish. Brilliant value and great with scallops and oysters. ☛ Score 17.5. $23

In her book, Women of Note, music critic, journalist and musician Rosalind Appleby writes that though female composers have been pivotal in Australia’s classical music, their contributions are largely missing from history books.

Rosalind set out to redress that balance with a comprehensive compendium of women who have made, or are making, original contributions to classical or art music.

Now she brings those women’s work to life with a Mother’s Day concert featuring three generations of Australia’s female composers.

Margaret Sutherland (1897-1984) was a signifi cant composer whose last works were refused publication when it was discovered that M. Sutherland was in fact a woman.

Also featuring on the program are friends and colleagues Dulcie Holland

(1913-2000) and Miriam Hyde (1913-2005), and contemporary composers Anne Boyd, Elena Kats-Chernin and Perth’s Cat Hope.

Their music will be performed by Ashley William Smith on clarinet, Irina Vasilieva on piano and Laura McGrogan on cello.

Rosalind presents the triumphs and tragedies of some of Australia’s most inventive and overlooked composers at Snadens Pianos showroom in Stirling Highway, Nedlands, on Sunday, May 10, at 3.30pm.

Art Song Perth’s 25th anniversary year continues with a Mother’s Day concert titled Songs My Mother Taught Me, bringing together a selection of art songs, poetry and music.

On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10, the celebratory concert under the baton of Marilyn Phillips, features works by Berlioz.

Soprano Daniella Sicari, a recent WAAPA graduate who will continue her musical studies at the Northern College of Music in Manchester, UK, says the Berlioz songs are gorgeous, telling stories of the wandering orphan Zaide (watch for the castanets) and Adieu de l’Hotesse Arabe, which is a sad refl ection by a young girl of the imminent departure of her soldier lover.

Soprano Marian Nelson will introduce the music of Charles Koechlin as she sings Quatre poems by d’Edmond Haraucort, accompanied by David Dockery on piano.

Emerging soprano

Brianna Louwen, who recently appeared in Vocal Ensemble Voiceworks’ Anzac production, As You Wave Me Goodbye, will sing Schubert’s Der Hirt auf dem Felsen (Shepherd on the Rock), accompanied by clarinettist Craig McLaren and pianist Caroline Badnell.

In a journey across Renaissance Europe, period musicians Makoto Harris Takao on the viola de gamba and Aiden Deasey on the lute will accompany tenor Jonathan Brain in a selection of songs about court life from England, Italy, Germany, Spain and France.

Soprano Kate Goyder, a third year student at WAAPA, explores her theme of “the trouble with love” with Roger Quilter’s 1905 piece, Love’s Philosophy, as well as beautiful songs by

Donizetti, Donaudy and Schubert.

Songs My Mother Taught Me is at 3pm on Mother’s Day at the

Five young entrepre-neurial spirits have come together under one small roof at Rok Art and are loving their new extended family.

The new Subiaco cafe in Rokeby Road is home to interior designer Tracey Chapman of Artistic by Design, Parisian chef Alex Cutier of Bonza Kitchen, Vietnamese Luanne Balaba and husband Tyrone Castillo of Baguette Me Not, Dublin barista Iain Sheppard of Perth Coffee Roasters and Shannon Tindale of superfood Prospect Project.

The concept for col-laborating and sharing the cafe space came from the cafe’s owner, Tracey, who, through her interior design business, travels a great deal.

“It’s a very popular concept in America, and I was sure we could make it work here,” Tracey said.

Unlike The Mantle proj-ect in Fremantle, which

has individual kitchens in a shared space, the fi ve businesses make it work together as a seamless whole.

“I wanted a cafe with fresh, natural and raw foods and great coffee,” Tracey said. “But more importantly, I knew I need-ed to fi nd the right team.”

Alex Cutier was already using the commercial kitch-en and delivering his home-made, French-inspired meals to local offi ces by scooter. He was happy to stay on in the kitchen to prepare fresh, authentic French dishes.

Luanne and Tyrone use an old Vietnamese recipe for their French/Vietnamese baguettes, which have already proved popular at the Subiaco Farmers’ market and Twilight markets in the city.

Luanne said: “Sharing all the expenses in a business means we can all afford it.”

Iain was working in sales and marketing for local Wembley coffee roasters

Jill and John Raynor of Perth Coffee Roasters. The master barista of 16 years’ experience said he was happy to now be the “face” of the coffee company and be back behind a coffee machine.

Shannon was a make-up artist leading a “toxic lifestyle” when she started making her own muesli to get herself healthy. It became so popular among work mates it lead to her business Prospect Project.

It started out catering to all the “fussy eaters”. Now vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free have become very mainstream.

Tracey shows artworks, cards and rugs in the cafe.

The team has a daily tool

box meeting where they share ideas and feedback.

“It’s a brains trust,” Tracey said. “We try things out, experiment on each other, share ideas and contacts.

“We’ve been blessed.”

Reliable Eddie is retiring.

Eddie is the nickname given to the Red Cross emergency response vehicle that was bought in 2008 with money raised by the Bindaring Red Cross clothing sale.

With 90,000km on the clock, Eddie has earned an easier life.

The Bindaring sale, coming up on Saturday, May 16, is one of the best shopping events of the year in Perth, offering new and top quality pre-loved clothing and accessories from international designers, vintage treasures and fashion staples at bargain prices at Claremont Showgrounds.

But the reason for the sale is to raise funds to support Red Cross services looking after communities across WA. Eddie was one of those services.

In the past seven years, Eddie has been used at several major disasters, including the 2010 earthquake in Kalgoorlie, and the Armadale, Roleystone and Margaret River bushfi res of 2011.

He has also seen regular active service from Geraldton to Albany helping with everything from storms and bus crashes to outbreaks of swine fl u.

Erin Fuery, Red Cross state manager for emergency services, said: “Even after he has gone, Eddie will keep on giving. Proceeds from his sale will support the running costs of his replacement.”

Caroline Arundell, vice president of the Bindaring unit, said donations for the 52nd annual Bindaring Red Cross Clothing Sale had been pouring in for months and that labels donated so far included Alexander

McQueen, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Fendi, Givenchy, Rag & Bone, Equipment, Carven, Oscar de la Renta, and Giorgio Armani.

On May 16 there will be four different shopping areas within the sale to cater for all tastes, styles and budgets.

The Boutique section is for new and nearly-new designer labels and top quality clothing. This area includes The Edit, where the crème de la crème of designer labels can be found, and, for the fi rst time this year, Little Angels for new children’s clothes.

Emporium is for vintage treasures, jewellery and beautiful eclectic accessories. Op Shop is for good quality recycled clothing priced under $10, with “$1 a bag” for some serious bargains with

plenty of life left in them.Bindaring has recruited

four fashion ambassadors for the sale this year –

Stylist Claire Mueller, who has a huge following on instagram [@capnmueller], Claremont Quarter stylist Andrea Tonkin [@andandrea], recycled fashion blogger Hannah Mcall [inthedressupbox.blogspot.com.au] and blogger Vicki Thompson [thefashionablemum.com].

Each of them will style a number of outfi ts from donations, which they will post on their sites in the week leading up to the sale.

Caroline said: “Having these women style outfi ts will encourage people to look past the obvious and inspire shoppers to re-style and up-cycle.”

This year, shoppers can catch an early glimpse of some of the treasures to be found at the sale on Instagram and twitter: #willyoubemine.

This well-loved annual event gives everyone an opportunity to fi nd designer gems and clothes for the entire family on a tight budget.

All proceeds go to Red Cross to fund many valuable community services in WA. Last year the sale raised $130,000.

Steady Eddie has an eye for fashion

■ Bindaring helper Melissa Ahern is sorting through the racks of designer labels that have been donated to the Red Cross sale.

■ Eddie the emergency response vehicle, bought with money raised at the Bindaring clothing sale, has worked hard for the Red Cross.

■ The Op Shop and Emporium opens at 9am in Claremont Showgrounds’ Robinson Pavilion on Saturday,

May 16. The Boutique opens at 10am.

Parking is $2 and there’s a gold coin donation for entry to the Boutique.

It wasn’t until Goldfi nger that James Bond developed his taste for exotic cars.

In the fi rst Bond Movie, Dr No, he drove a mere Sunbeam Alpine, a little British two-seat banger that barely developed 75 kilowatts and couldn’t out-run a lumbering pre-war Packard LaSalle hearse driven by bad guys.

In From Russia with Love, his big car moment was in a taxi. Admittedly a Bentley followed, but it was hardly sexy; a 1935 drophead that handled like a dog on linoleum. (Aside: drophead is how

the English upper class say convertible.)

The famous Aston Martin DB5, the car that started the whole Bond/car thing, didn’t happen until Auric Goldfi nger launched his dastardly plans.

But here’s the thing; a number of Bond afi ciona-dos believe it should have been a DB2. Never mind that the DB2 was 10 years out of date when the movie

was made – these folk are historical pedants.

And they can point to the very 1954 DB2 that was the inspiration for Bond’s fi rst Aston Martin, detailed in the original Goldfi nger book by Ian Fleming.

Now pay attention, this is complicated for any-one who doesn’t watch Downton Abbey.

An Aston Martin DB 2/4 Mk I Vantage, chas-sis number LML-819, was owned by Phillip Ingram Cunliffe-Lister whose father was Lord Swinton who, as well as being head of MI5 and the Security Executive during World

War II and a close confi -dant of Winston Churchill, was also Ian Fleming’s boss.

Yep, Fleming was a spook. Or more politely, a naval intelligence offi cer. But he made his money writing Bond books and sold, oh, 100 million or so.

Cunliffe-Lister was a regular visitor of Fleming’s next-door neighbour in Kent and they got to know one another. (Another aside: that was the place Fleming suggested as the headquarters of Sir Hugo Drax in Moonraker).Many of the gadgets listed in the Goldfi nger DB5

were fi tted to Cunliffe-Lister’s DB2, including reinforced steel bumpers, concealed lockers, a heavy-duty anti-interference igni-tion system, driver’s seat connections for a two-way radio and a Halda Speed Pilot, a sophisticated and expensive trip computer used mostly in rallying.

Unfortunately it lacked the ejector seat, bullet-proof shield and twin Browning machine guns of Bond’s DB5.

This very DB2 came up for auction in England last year, the auction house describing it pushily as “a strong contender for the

world’s most signifi cant Aston Martin ever to be offered to the open market”.

Chris Routledge, manag-ing partner of the auction house, reassured potential buyers: “It could be one of the most important discov-eries of all time. It confi rms the link between undoubt-edly the most famous spy in history and possibly the world’s most iconic sports car marque.”The market disagreed. The DB2 was passed in. Routledge said spirited negotiations were in progress but when I checked recently it was still for sale.

Meet Bond’s original Aston Martin■ The classic Aston Martin DB5 had already become an essential part of James Bond’s arsenal by the time Pierce Brosnan became the fi fth actor to play the role (1995 to 2002).

■ It’s the fi rst time the heritage-listed home, on 2731sq.m of riverfront land, has come on to the market in about 65 years.

Spread out at this grand Grove mansion

Sitting on the front ve-randah, looking over the

tennis court to Freshwater Bay is one of the many joys of living in Weerianna.

The heritage-listed home, on 2731sq.m of prime riverfront land, has come on to the market for the fi rst time in about 65 years.

And it’s been worth waiting for, according to agent Michael Hoad, of Paxton Hoad.

“There have been only two owners since it was built in 1894,” Mr Hoad said.

“It’s one of the oldest, and biggest, landholdings in Peppermint Grove.”

Weerianna had humble beginnings: the fi rst build-ing on the site was a fi shing shack.

The shack has long gone, and standing proudly in

its place is a Victorian/Georgian-style mansion with wraparound veran-dahs, a spectacular stair-case, fi ve fi replaces and 3.6m high ceilings.

Weerianna has all the characteristics of this style – balance, proportion and elegance.

The grand rooms have ornate ceilings, stained-glass windows and full-height sash windows to capture the view and the breeze off the river.

The centrepiece is the formal living area, with marble fi replaces at each end and two sets of bay windows.

The limestone man-sion was built for pearler and farmer Horrie Sholl, who was one of the most prominent landholders in the suburb.

It was originally a single-storey home, and as Mr Sholl’s family grew

(he had 10 children, ac-cording to a book on the history of the suburb), a second storey was added in 1903.

It is “one of the earliest and fi nest mansions of the suburb”, according to the shire council’s heritage inventory.

“The place sits hand-somely and serenely on its site,” the inventory said.

But for the current owner, it is more than a landmark in the riverside suburb.

It’s been a much-loved family home, where his three children have grown up, played tennis on what used to be a croquet lawn and slid down the grassy slope at the front.

“Over the years, we added a sunroom, a kitchen and bathrooms, but it’s now ready for another family to make it their home,” the owner said.

The centrepiece is a symmetrical living area, with marble fi replaces at each end

■ Victorian/Georgian-style architecture exuded affl uence – and it shows in the grand staircase and stained-glass windows.

■ You can keep an eye on your boat in Freshwater Bay from the wraparound verandah.

Packed with Hamptons features

You don’t need to live by the sea to appreciate

Hamptons design, as this architect-designed house ably demonstrates.

The two-level home on a narrow 357sq.m block is brimming with those little extra features, like special fi nishes on the top-fl oor street frontage that accen-tuate the beautiful white weatherboard exterior.

Step inside, and the surprises continue.

A long, timber stair-case is the fi rst thing that greets you when you open the door, bordered by a painted metal balustrade

that stretches all the way to the fi rst fl oor.

Stained oak fl oors lead you down a long hall, which serves as the main thor-oughfare, connecting the main bedroom, kitchen and an elevated lounge – along with two courtyards.

The ground-fl oor main suite is one of many fea-tures that would make this

property appealing to older buyers, and it features a walk-in robe and a palatial ensuite with a spa bath.

Double doors open from the bedroom to the sheltered courtyard, while providing plenty of natural light.

High-pile earthy carpet and shadow-line cornices combine to create that quintessential Hamptons

mix of style and cosiness.The hall widens to cre-

ate a big room with an elegant kitchen.

It features composite stone counters, underslung sinks and plenty of rich timber cabinetry.

You will find three minor bedrooms upstairs, all with good natural light and leafy views.

Two bedrooms with raked ceilings are mir-ror images of each other, and have built-in robes, a shared balcony and a small mezzanine accessed via a built-in ladder.

The third bedroom misses out on a wardrobe, but enjoys the consolation prize of a private ensuite.

The selling agent is Cam McGregor, of Space Real Estate.

■ White weatherboard cladding adds to the Hamptons style in this home’s protected alfresco courtyard.

Room for the whole family to spread out

There is a downside to being a property writer:

occasionally a house makes you think “I want to live here”.

That’s the case with 17 Berkeley Crescent, which combines practical design with contemporary style.

There’s plenty of room for growing families to spread out in this home, with fi ve bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pool and a three-car garage.

As you walk through the sprawling two-storey home, you can see how much thought went into

its design.As well as ample storage

space, there is a games room, a home theatre and what every busy mum needs: a place to catch up on emails and to store school newsletters/mail/phone chargers.

“I call it housewife headquarters,” one of the owners said.

It’s cleverly located next to the children’s study nook, so you can easily keep an eye on homework.

On an 847sq.m block, the APG home was built to a high standard about three years ago.

But it looks as though it could have been built

yesterday, according to Emily Hiskins, of Space Real Estate.

“With its high ceilings, wide hallways and neutral décor, it has a very timeless look,” Ms Hiskins said.

“It will appeal to people who want a new home in Floreat but don’t want the hassle of building it.”

Among the many fea-tures is an open-plan kitchen, which has a good view of the pool and al-fresco area.

House sale benefi ts diabetes research

Little is known about Lurline Giles – except that she was a very generous woman. Mrs Giles, who died three years ago, left half the proceeds from the sale of her Woodlands home to the Heart Foundation and Diabetes Research. The humble home at 218 Ewen Street went under the hammer recently for $1,205,000. Sherl Westlund, Diabetes Research executive director, said the bequest came completely out of the blue. “It was very unexpected,” Ms Westlund said. “I was amazed when I found about Mrs Giles’ incredible act of kindness – she has most certainly left a big mark on diabetes research in WA and her generosity has the potential to change the lives of many, many people.” Ms Westlund said that without bequests, Diabetes Research would not have been able to fund some of its most important work. The home was bought by Subiaco businessman David Parin, who did not know until after the auction that the money was being

donated to charity.

$25m for life at the topYou couldn’t pay some people to brave 320m heights, but one Chinese businessman has forked out $25million to live there. The 750sq.m penthouse will crown what is set to be Melbourne’s tallest skyscraper, due for completion in 2019. The Australia 108 tower in City Road, Southbank, will be built in three stages, and its top-fl oor apartment will bask in a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city. When the selling price works out to be more than $33,000 per square metre, nothing short of luxury can be expected. Among other features, the penthouse will have its own glass lift between level 98 and 100, an indoor infi nity pool and a secluded rooftop garden that will be set inside the living area and encased in glass.

Art deco by the beachNedlands and Dalkeith have their fair share of art deco-style homes but they are rare in City Beach. There’s only a handful of art-deco homes in the beachside suburb – and 8 Elimatta Way is one of them. The 1951 home was one of the fi rst to be built in City Beach, according to Nena Snooks, of NS Residential. “It’s a reminder of a bygone era,” Ms Snooks said. A shoe-shining station, etched porthole windows and timber wall panels are among the many original features in the home, which is ripe for a

renovation. “You could easily knock this home into shape pretty quickly,” Ms Snooks said. The owners have made a start by installing a glass-fenced pool in the big backyard. The three-bedroom home, on a 933sq.m corner site, is priced from $1.45million to $1,575,000.

Barton’s home soldAn unknown buyer snapped up a piece of Australian history earlier this month with the sale of the home of our fi rst prime minister. Sir Edmund Barton’s 1877-built Whitehall at 37 White Street in Balgowlah, NSW, was sold for an undisclosed sum by agents Richard Simeon and Mark Jones, of Simeon Manners Property. The agents were asking for offers around $3.3million. The stately four-bedroom home on a 1056sq.m block enjoys impressive views of

Sydney Harbour from its elevated position. The house was renovated and extended in the 70s in keeping with the original style. Sir Edmund leased the property in 1888 while he was a NSW Upper House MP and moved out in 1891 when he was elected Member for East Sydney.

Paradise found … in Ubud If you’re looking for a tree change, you might want to consider peaceful Ubud. The inland city of temples and jungle-covered hills in Bali has gained popularity among Australian buyers in recent years. According to data by real estate fi rm Knight Frank, luxury home prices in Bali rose by 15% in 2014 – making it the third fastest growing upscale second-home market in the world. Located cliff-side to a stunning river valley, a modern six-bedroom home

overlooking a waterfall and lush tropical greenery is on the market for $3.17million. It’s on 3000sq.m of land, comes with modern furniture and has a stunning infi nity pool. This is just one example of what is on offer. Visit www.ubudhomes.com for more details.

The 1950 home was replaced with this 2013 mansion, acording to Landgate.

AGENT: Andrew Porteous, William Porteous Properties.

In a suburb that’s known for its big houses on sprawling blocks,

this breathtaking property proves that a smaller landholding can certainly pack a punch.

Occupying a 402sq.m block, the home owes its sense of grandeur to a clever design and superior craftsmanship.

Luxurious travertine fl oors seem to gently cascade from the entry, down a set of stairs, and into a sun-drenched open-plan living area.

It’s an immense but homely space with fl oor-to-ceiling win-dows and a sculptural feature fi replace.

An extra-wide island bench is all that separates the kitchen, which features white stone bench-tops and Miele appliances, from

the living and dining areas.A butler’s pantry, wine fridge

and hidden cabinetry ensure the storage is integrated seamlessly into the sleek design.

The entertainment space can be doubled thanks to aluminium bi-folds, which open to an inter-nal cedar-lined alfresco with a kitchenette.

“It was really important to us to have a kitchen that was so

central to the entertaining areas,” one of the owners said.

The owners completed the build in 2012, and said they had loved the low-maintenance gar-den and being able to wake up to such spectacular ocean views.

On the fi rst fl oor there are three bedrooms, the most impres-sive of which is a main suite that is nothing short of opulent.

The lavish ensuite has a neu-

tral palette and crisp, bright design that complements its treetop outlook.

A wide balcony makes the most of the property’s elevated position, enjoying views of Beecroft Park and a whiff of the sea breeze.

Among the home’s high-spec extras are a ducted vacuum and a built-in Sonos sound system that can be controlled from any mobile device.

“Technology was a priority for us and we wanted to ensure it wouldn’t date,” the owner said.

Selling agent Greg Williams, of Mack Hall, said the home of-fered a lifestyle that was rare in City Beach.

“You’re able to see the suburb you love and then actually get among it rather than spend your time tending to a big yard,” Mr Williams said.

own home - a stunning house in Cottesloe.It has soaring ceilings,

an enormous kitchen and a home theatre, all on a 597sq.m block.

There is an abundance of space – especially for a single-level home – thanks to an elongated fl oor plan with rooms that branch off a long central hall.

To reach the main en-trance, visitors walk past the immaculately main-tained front garden and along a side walkway.

The colour scheme con-tinues throughout the rest of the house, alternating oc-

casionally with light blues and white accents.

Turn right past the foyer and you will fi nd yourself in the main living area, where the ceilings are pitched to enhance the sense of space and the light from north-facing windows.

A big granite kitchen occupies an alcove along with ample cabinetry and

a freestanding oven.Glass bi-folds open to

the covered alfresco area, which overlooks the spa-cious front lawn.

The four bedrooms can be found down the hall at the back, and all are well appointed.

Two minor bedrooms have built-in robes while a third has a walk-in.

All share a luxurious bathroom with a double vanity.

The main suite at the end of the hall features a walk-in robe and a palatial, open ensuite, complete with an elevated spa bath and a separate shower.

Withers jeered over infillWhen City Beach resident Keri

Shannon asked Mr Withers why he sold a house in Jolimont next to a former plant nursery site when it was about to be subdivided and developed, he said it was personal.

He said he had known Planning Minister John Day for 30 or 40 years but had not discussed the town planning scheme amendment with him.

Councillor Corinne MacRae said her daughter lived in South America when a contract for ar-chitectural services was let.

And when her daughter returned

to Perth and worked for the suc-cessful fi rm, council CEO Jason Buckley advised Mrs MacRae she did not need to declare an interest because her daughter did not live with her.

Councillor Tracey King did not reply when Ms Shannon asked if it was appropriate for her to register a “like” for the Facebook page.

Mr Withers said: “Do you think you are being obsessive and intru-sive asking all this?”

Ms Shannon said she thought the TPS amendment was obsessive and intrusive.

The deadline for public com-ments on the proposals to change

the town planning scheme to allow duplex, triplex and apartment de-velopments in City Beach, Floreat and part of Mt Claremont is next Friday, May 8.

Mr Withers told the meeting he had moved to City Beach after 20 years in London to live in a “hick town” but accepted that things changed.

He blamed the population growth on the mining boom.

“I did not move from London to Perth for this, but you cannot stop the clock,” he said

He said any changes to the area would be slow.

Angry deputy mayor Alan Langer leant across the council table to-wards Mr Mill and said: “You do not know what I think, we don’t get a chance to vote at this stage.”

Challenged about the data the council used, Mr Withers said: “To deny the population is ageing is crazy. It is like saying the world is fl at.”

The usual 15-minute question time at the start of the council meeting lasted 2½ hours.

The council was told more than $290,000 had been spent on archi-tects, lawyers, planners, surveys and meetings in relation to the housing options scheme.

One fi rm was husband-and-wife team Mackay Urban Design.

Malcolm Mackay is a member of the development assessment panel Mr Withers and Mrs MacRae sit on to decide big planning applications in Cambridge.

Grove won’t budge from

cafe plan• From page 9

Owner-to-be Brent Pollard was selected last year from nine tender-ers for the redeveloped cafe.

Owner of 3½ years Quoc Nguyen – one of the eight denied applicants – is renting the site until operations begin.

Mr Nguyen said that since the petition had gone to the council, about 300 more people had signed it in the cafe – which the council was unaware of – and stressed the community’s disfavour for the development plans.

“They don’t want a liquor licence here at all,” said Mr Nguyen, who expects to leave the café when con-struction starts, in June or July.

Mr Nguyen said last year’s tender negotiations disallowed a liquor licence, though shire CEO John Merrick said no such agreement had been made.

The unnamed café is set to open next summer.

Wearne hostel plan on hold“It may not be the best business

plan in terms of a mark out of 10, but it’s a common business plan between a group of councils,” he said.

Mr Poynton said it met the requirements of the Local Government Act and would allow residents to comment on it.

“The other councils have ap-proved advertising the business plan. We are saying we are not ap-proving it and are holding up the process by a month,” he said.

Mayor Ron Norris said the council meeting was not the right place to discuss what was wrong with the plan and councillors then voted to defer it to the next meeting.

After the meeting Mr Norris said deferring it so councillors could have their questions answered now was better than disrupting the process later.

“This land shows up in our asset register as having a value of $7.8mil-lion,” he said.

“But, in effect, that is only a notional value. It actually doesn’t have that value at all because it is land that has been leased to the councils and then on-leased to Curtin Care.

“The property is actually a gov-ernment reserve which has been made available to Curtin Care for the specifi c purpose of providing aged care.

“So the idea that it is an asset that needs to be liquidated for the residents of Mosman Park is not correct.

“I believe we should advertise the business plan, see what com-ments are made and then deal with the uncertainties rather than trying to fi rstly base the decision on a false premise that we have $8million around the corner ready to grab.”

• From page 9

of these cases years ago as well I’m aware of that provision, so standard designs may simply not work under that provision in this locality and the expectations created by that provision.

“If there was something that could be done to set back or otherwise soften that section of wall or part of that section of wall it may well be what the case will focus on.

“I only raise it if it was something that was possible and that the ap-plicant might consider ... well then that may well be the way forward ... and bring that back to the council and see where that goes.

“I’m happy to do that [set a mediation date]. I’m just trying to short-circuit the process for you, but I have a feeling that is what we will be talking about ... but if you are happy to do that.”

Judge Parry said later: “I do wonder if there is an ability to do something whether more produc-tive for that to happen in view of a reconsideration ... but if the par-ties want to move to mediation I’m happy to provide that instead.”

As part of the case Subiaco coun-cillors will be invited to attend a site visit and then to take part in mediation talks in the council chambers afterwards.

• From page 6

Mr Goode said several Papua New Guineans – known as Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels during the war – walked with his group.

“One of the three remaining Fuzzy Wuzzies was with us,” Mr Goode said. “There was also a Malay/Chinese gentleman.

“The Fuzzy Wuzzy reeled back in horror when he saw him, but the man said, ‘It’s alright, grandfather: I’m Chinese, not Japanese’.”

The talk is part of Claremont’s History in a Coffee Cup series.

It is on May 7, 9.30 to 10.30am, in the community hub and library on Stirling Highway.

Subiaco’s lost parade takes wrong turn

• From page 1

taking the Anzac Day parade behind them.

Mr Diggins ran to the front of the parade and asked the bands-men if they knew where they were going.

“No, do you?” came the reply.By this time the parade had

reached the point of no return. There was no turning back.

Mr Diggins employed his local knowledge to lead the parade out of the wilderness, which involved marching under low-hanging carpark fi g trees.

“We all had a good laugh about it – it was certainly a very different beginning to the proceedings,” Mr Diggins said.

Subiaco mayor Heather Henderson was far from embar-rassed.

“Everybody who was in the march was humorous and enjoy-ing it, and the number of people that walked beside us when they saw us walking up Bagot Road; there must have been about a hundred of them,” she said.

“We fi nally got there; a little bit of humour doesn’t hurt. These things can happen to the best laid plans.

“Everything was so in place for it to be absolutely perfect. We weathered that storm.

“A couple of people took it seriously and said we were a laughing stock but other than that everybody has been very humorous about it.”

“Richard made some really funny comments to the assembled crowd.”

A bystander said: “I could hear them all laughing 40 or 50 metres down the street.”

The crowd had a big Australian laugh before returning to the sombre business of remembering and commemorating the meaning of Anzac Day.

Bandsmen march proudly up Rokeby Road, oblivious to what is ahead.

Part of the huge crowd waits, and waits, for the parade to arrive.

Richard Diggins draws laughs as he explains why the service

Marmion takes part in Hollywood dramaMr Marmion said he did

not know if the City of Perth Act would be discussed by Cabinet soon. As Minister for Finance and Mines he is a Cabinet member.

“I do not fi nd out what is on the Cabinet agenda until Friday,” he said.

“I don’t know whether it might come up next week, I am not the Local Government Minister.”

He said he was meeting Subiaco residents who live

next to Hampden Road this weekend to discuss the area’s future.

He said they were due to give him information to sup-port their case against being part of the new Perth.

Nedlands mayor Max Hipkins told the ABC the council still wanted UWA and the QEII Medical Centre.

“They’re part of our com-munity,” he said.

“We’ve got a lot of traffi c and parking problems that

we have to accommodate.“If they turn their back

on Nedlands then obviously we would have to give fi rst priority to our residents.

“At the moment they’re part of our community and we accommodate them.

“We’ve spoken to both the major political parties, we’re lobbying MPs in both Upper and Lower Houses and we hope to see the end of this legislation.”

UWA vice-chancellor Professor Paul Johnson also

told the ABC that being in the new Perth was a long-term aim.

He said as things stood UWA needed building li-cences from two councils to renovate a building split by the existing boundaries.

“It makes sense to have the university in one local authority area and in the same local authority area as the QEII hospital just up the road, which also has the university's medical faculty.”

Gill backs carpark market“It would be the people’s

markets, there for the public good,” Mr Gill said.

“Subiaco’s own research has shown that its people identify markets strongly with the area and this is council-owned land, so they would have control of rents and rates.

“It would have two-storey buildings with lanes in the centre for permanent spe-ciality stores and spaces around the outskirts for weekend stall holders, that could be done in something like the style of the Globe Theatre in London.

“The markets would have unique shops that people would travel from outside the area for.”

Mr Gill told the POST he had been approached by a

number of groups of local business people with other ideas for the area, but that he was remaining independ-ent.

He said he expected the proposal would draw in big regular crowds that would benefit all businesses in the CBD.

The Forrest Street carpark – car station 14 – has been plagued by controversy and setbacks in recent months and years.

In March there was a failed attempt to scrap a tender offer for the redevel-opment of the carpark that had recently been approved by councillors.

Councillor Mark Burns queried if the cost of demol-ishing two council-owned buildings on the site late last year – about $100,000 – was on top of, not included in, the

$579,609 contract awarded to a civil engineering com-pany in March to carry out phase one of the planned upgrade.

It is the third revocation order since 2012 to block work from being carried out on the carpark.

In February 2012 Subiaco got approval from the local development assessment panel to build a multi-storey carpark on the site, but failed to fi nd a developer to build the proposed $35mil-lion structure.

During a debate sparked by the announcement that the Station Street Markets would close down because of a planned redevelopment, some councillors said the Forrest Street carpark would make an ideal location for markets.

• From page 3

Threathaunts

Nedlands mayor Max Hipkins said he had been advised that Aldi needed “a couple of years at least” to build a distribution ware-house at Canning Vale.

The POST has previously reported that Aldi had un-dertaken to honour existing leases, one still with nine years to run, but several councillors said those busi-nesses could be bought by Aldi if it wanted to bring forward its plans.

Mr Hipkins said new buildings on the sites would eventually be decided by a development assessment panel, and Nedlands needed to provide guidelines for that day.

Councillor Nigel Shaw said the changes provided a golden opportunity to create a Nedlands hub.

“There is more land than just the hotel,” he said,

“It’s a very significant piece of land. We need to be on top of it. We need to be able to work with com-mercial developers.”

The council voted to al-locate resources to plan the neighbourhood centre and surrounding lands.

Too high … This wall has to be lower, Claremont councillors have decided.

Too-high wall to lose almost halfPleas not to reduce the

height of a Swanbourne wall had no effect on Claremont councillors last week.

Councillors voted that the 2.16m limestone wall at 20 Saladin Street be reduced to 1.2m.

A report to councillors said approvals had been granted for a second-storey addition and alterations at N.A. and M.C. Hadfi eld’s home in 2013 and last year.

The report said the Hadfields wanted retro-spective approval for the wall, which did not comply with residential design codes or local laws.

Lisa Engelbrecht, from MGA Town Planners, fronted last Tuesday night’s meeting and said nearby Shenton Road carried a lot of traffi c.

Ms Engelbrecht also asked if a condition about putting a caveat on the

Hadfields’ property, to indemnify the council against any claims on the wall’s encroachment into the road reserve, could be deleted.

“A caveat will affect the value of the property,” she said.

But councillors did not discuss the matter before they voted unanimously to approve the retrospective approvals with the condi-tions.

Rally for relayA g r o u p o f I o n a

Presentation College stu-dents is gearing up to run laps for 24 hours early next weekend to raise money for cancer research.

Year 10 student Eliana Hardie said she decided to get a team together for the Relay for Life WA Athletics Stadium in Claremont in honour of her friend who was diagnosed with a brain tumour and is undergoing treatment.

“My friend Casper was di-agnosed with a brain tumour when he was 14 and has undergone many different operations and treatments since then,” Eliana said.

Eliana said the team was hoping to raise $1500 for Cancer Council WA.

Perth Relay for Life is on May 9 and 10.

POST photographer Paul McGovern took this pic at 1.25pm, when the clock read 12.25.

Austin Robertson’s sporting

Taj Burrows’ second semi-fi nals fi nish for the year, at last week’s Margaret River Pro, sees him rated sixth in the world.

After a week to remember, the men’s pro surfi ng fi eld was rattled and shaken with broken bodies and boards as ratings take on a new shape.

Last week’s completion of the Margaret River Pro, the third event of 11 in the series, sees break-away ratings leader Adriano de Souza going home to Rio wearing the yellow

jersey that comes with the top rating.

His win furthered his lead over defending world champion and current second seed Mick Fanning.

Brazil has enjoyed some fi rsts in recent years, most notably Gabriel Medina’s maiden world title last year, and Adriano de Souza’s two Rip Curl Bells titles in 2011 and 2013.

De Souza was unable to add this year’s Bells title to his list when he conceded a tight fi nal against Mick Fanning last

month.Fellow countryman Filipe

Toledo showed new maturity and presents as a title danger-man after an incredible fi nals performance at the year’s open-ing event, the Quiksilver Pro at Snapper Rocks in Coolangatta, Queensland.

The biggest ratings jump this year came for Taj Burrows’ regular sparring partner and fellow charging sandgroper, Jay Davies, who, now sits a respectable 25th, following his extraordinary efforts at Margaret River last month.

Margies shakes up top men

Fremantle footy – a game of two halvesForget for a moment that

last Saturday’s Len Hall Game between my Dockers and the Swans was played in two highly dramatic, entertaining, but un-believably different halves.

Here’s the bottom line: I think Fremantle is ready to win its fi rst premiership.

After a month of exciting football, the Dockers have ac-counted for up-and-comers Port Adelaide, Geelong at the Cattery, and cross-town rivals West Coast – and now they’ve added the scalp of another premiership rival to their war bonnet.

It’s a long season, of course, but the only problem facing the Dockers right now is what to do if they have a fully fi t list.

If that happens, the Lyon King will have to be at his pragmatic best, trying to shoehorn the de-serving into a 22-man team!

Of those who missed last weekend, Hayden Ballantyne will certainly come back, and Zac Dawson, who has never been one to let anybody down in a crisis, will also get his spot back when fi nally fi t.

Tendai Mzungu is a waste of talent in the substitute’s green jacket, and, to top it all off, I see that Peel Thunder is on top in the WAFL, which means some of the young blokes on the Freo list must be pushing hard for a run in the Firsts.

For the Dockers, last Saturday

was a litmus test of just how far they might go this year.

The previous week, the gen-eral view was that the Dockers took their collective feet off the pedal against the Eagles.

Was this déjà vu, or was this déjà vu? Like their Derby en-counter, the marauding Dockers took to the Swans like foxes hunting baby ducklings in the fi rst half.

Sydney were literally smashed everywhere. I couldn’t fi nd a winner.

Surely our Lovely Boys wouldn’t show compassion to Sydney, a premiership-potential side, like they did for the hapless West Coasters?

At half-time at Subi Oval, con-vinced the four points were in the bag, I celebrated by buying, would you believe, the last meat pie the vendor had in stock, and a beer.

Half an hour later I was sorry I hadn’t taken some Mylanta to the game, because I had severe indigestion, surely brought on by watching Sydney go from surrender-monkeys to a pack of bloodthirsty hyenas.

The Dockers suddenly looked a pretty ordinary bunch.

When Nat the Magnif missed what he should have kicked (because he kicked the bloody thing where he ran – off line to the right) the third quarter was as barren as the Sahara.

It was as if the favourite in the

Melbourne Cup, leading the fi eld with a furlong to go, decided to turn around and gallop the other way.

Surely there must be some more fundamental reasons for the Dockers’ extraordinary second-half performances over the past two weeks?

If you reach the conclusion that Lyon out-coached the op-position in the fi rst half of both games, then what happened in the second?

Are we to think that he was out-generalled unmercifully, then?

At the end of each Dockers vic-tory, Subi Oval’s public address system belts out that great AC/DC hit, TNT.

What they should have been playing on Saturday was another AC/DC creation, Jailbreak, for that’s exactly what the Dockers managed to achieve.

Far be it from an old fossil like me to try to understand what we have seen from the Dockers this past fortnight.

They have a full slate of vic-tories, and are perched a game clear on top of the AFL ladder, and it’s damn hard to do any better than that!

Name that painNothing much in football is

as confusing as the language of the injury list.

When a player is struck down with an ACL, the sporting breth-ren – with a modicum of knowl-edge about the complexities of the human body – understand the poor suffering warrior writhing around on the grass has sustained serious ligament or cartilage damage to one of his knees.

The knee joint is one of those fascinating structures that are designed for everything but football.

It’s where the femur, the tibia and the patella all come togeth-er, tightened with tough strings of rope called ligaments.

Damage it in any serious way and you end up requiring a total knee reconstruction – and that means at least 12 months out of the game.

No wonder you’ve often heard, as the player heads off for scans: “We can only hope it’s not an ACL.”

Each week, the injury list in our game mounts.

So far this season, a stagger-ing number of players – many of them guns – have been sidelined with one ailment or another.

I recall, at the end of a game once, clutching my side in ex-treme pain.

Trying to get the body into some positions was downright painful, and our dear old head trainer at Subiaco, Tom Cross, said I had a strained an ob-lique.

So what’s that? Oh, well, turns out an oblique is no more than an abdominal side muscle, but when the medical terms are used, not too many of us know what the hell they refer to.

Injuries come in a variety of fl avours: bruises, sprains, breaks and pulls.

But somewhere along the line breaks became fractures, cuts became lacerations and bruises became contusions. If they are trying to confuse us, they might just have succeeded.

If you look at the weekly AFL injury list, it’s diffi cult to decode what is really going on, and it’s all educated guess work anyway.

In an attempt to explain it all, injuries are listed simply: ACL (season), wrist (three or four weeks); ankle (fi ve weeks); calf (seven weeks); and so on and so forth.

Because I’m languishing around the bottom of the table in the POST’s tipping competition, the injury list at the end of each round is required reading.

Injuries dictate how a team will perform, particularly if their list is thin in the fi rst place.

Throughout history it has been universally accepted that the horse is stronger than the man.

So let’s compare horses with AFL footballers.

The thoroughbred horse is not subjected to six months, week-in-week-out, of intense competitive racing, year after year.

The fi t, well-prepared horse has several outings and is then spelled for a period of time, before being meticulously prepared again for its next campaign.

Again, I’m not familiar with the pre-season for horses, but if it were in any way comparable to what happens to AFL play-ers, the RSPCA would become seriously interested.

You all came up with some very clever Doodlelbug ideas this week.

Our two major winners have each done completely different drawings.

Phoebe Finlayson (11), from Woodlands, has drawn a very fi ne Anzac bugler. I love the background, it’s very atmospheric.

Gemma Matla (7) , f rom Claremont, created a particularly sweet rabbit looking just a tiny bit sad. Has she lost her mother? Has she forgotten where she left her car-rot? Or is she needing a hug? What do you think?

Where do you come up with so many crazy ideas? There was Mila’s lolly tree and not to forget Sam’s chicken face monster! Then there was Isabella’s ant selling ice-cream and Alice’s girls with their toasted marshmallows.

Grace’s self-portrait looked very happy and Sibol’s mum was wearing a nice dress. I loved Arielle’s joyful picture and I was a bit jealous of Angie with her new dress.

Liam’s water fountain was enormous and Kendall’s elephant was delightful.

I hope you enjoy this week’s Doodlebug challenge,

Jane
