Subi shops
at Quarter
for ideas

Whiskey a lifesaver

By LLOYD GORMAN
Subiaco council staff have
been shopping for ideas and
checking out the competition
in Claremont Quarter.

By DAVID COHEN
Liz Jackman says a dog
named Whiskey saved her
former soldier husbands life.
My husband Scott was in the
8th/9th Battalion of the Royal
Australian Regiment, Liz said.
After he got back from
Afghanistan he suffered from
post-traumatic stress disorder.
He was self-medicating and
became an alcoholic.
But Whiskey got him out of
bed and out in public again.
Whiskey saved his life as far

as Im concerned.
The experience inspired Liz
and others to start Whiskeys
Wish, which trains support dogs
and gives them to armed forces
veterans and emergency workers.
Last Friday in Cottesloe, Liz
and co-founder Marilyn Kench
handed over Gypsy, a 6-monthold red heeler, to Tina Webster.
Premier Colin Barnett was
at the Sea View Golf Club
ceremony and was impressed
to learn about Whiskeys Wish
and its achievements.
Tina, who has post-traumatic

stress disorder, said she was


very excited but very nervous,
and a little bit scared.
I met Gypsy for the first time
earlier this week and have
constantly been getting photos
of him, she said.
After starting as a Naval
Reserve cadet in 1978, Tina had
a career in the defence forces
before becoming a paramedic.
She had met Mr Barnett before, when helping workers at
Hale House and Dumas House
practise emergency evacuations.

Liz said her organisations


aim was to provide one dog
per year.
By our fifth year wed hoped
to be up to 24 dogs, she said.
But we are only 13 months
old and we already have 18 dogs
in the program.
Liz said Whiskeys Wish was
supported by very generous
donors.
Whiskeys story touched a
lot of people, she said.
He was only with us for 12
months before dying from an
inoperable cancer.

CEO Don Burnett took senior


staff to the shopping centre,
which Subiaco retailers say has
lured shoppers from Rokeby
Road since it opened in March
2009.
Subiacos main shopping strip
has been in decline since the
closure of the Pavilion Markets
nine years ago and the rise of
other shopping destinations.
I took some staff to Claremont
Quarter to see what they are
doing, Mr Burnett said. We
are probably travelling better
than them.
I bought them a cup of coffee, we walked around and had
a look to see what Claremont
Quarter is doing and to pick
up a few ideas from there, but
also to identify that theyve got
a few vacant shops and spaces.
Ive got to say it, we dont
have that many vacant shops
in Subiaco. I think there are
probably four or five and they
are reasonably small ones.
Chocolatier Chokeby Road
shut its Rokeby Road shop last
year after more than 20 years
there.
Jill Dallimore, who owns and
runs a neighbouring homeware
shop, said it was sad for Rokeby
Road to lose an iconic and established business.
I get people coming into me
every day asking what happened
to the chocolate shop, she said.
A ladies fashion shop operated by Violet Wioletta in
Forrest Walk, just off Rokeby
Road, shut down just before

By DAVID COHEN

Cottesloe apartment owners


are worried their properties will
be sold against their will if strata
laws change later this year.
The owners of apartments in
the Seapines block in Marine
Parade have declined offers from
a syndicate headed by Debbie
Whiting and Dean Capelli.
Legislation to change the
Strata Titles Act is expected
to be introduced to Parliament
in the second half of this year.
One of the changes means a
strata scheme can be terminated
if 75% of owners agree.
Currently all owners must

have 19 of the 28 Seapines properties, and need to acquire only
two more to have a 75% interest.
Seapines unit owner Fulvio
Prainito said the new rules
would be shameful.
The most disappointing point
about the new law is that its
changing the timing of a real
estate transaction to the advantage of speculators so that I will

not be able to buy back into the


same location and position, Mr
Prainito said.
This legislation will force
someone like me, who has lived
in his Cottesloe beachfront unit
for a quarter of a century, to
sell in a depressed market to
speculators who will then on
sell when the real estate market
is booming.
Im not against redevelopment but Im against a law that
will destroy any chance that I
might have had of getting enough
money to buy back into the same
location and position.

Why do complainers
live by Showgrounds?

Peace, quiet and not a


giant thong in sight

In response to Claremont residents complaining about the noise levels of the recent
Origin Festival at the Showgrounds (Origin
antics upset locals, POST, January 9).
Were you never young once?
Were you never a little bit loud and raucous
in your younger years?
Did you never enjoy partying and letting
your hair down once in a while, or have you
always been full-time members of the fun
police?
When you bought your properties and chose
to live near the Showgrounds, you would have
been well aware that there would be several
noisy events taking place there throughout
the year.
But you still made the choice to live there
and subsequently complain.
The noise from the Perth Royal Show goes
on a lot longer and, to my mind, is a lot more
irritating than one night of music, yet few
people ever complain about that.
I laughed when I read that residents felt
they had to stay up to take care of their
homes on the night of the concert.
Take care of them from what?
From people walking down the street?
Why are you so afraid of young people?
In the grand scheme of things, the number
of events you have to tolerate over the course
of the year is minimal.
If you hate it that much, then plan to be
away at such times.

Putting its stamp on it

Lake Claremont report is all


about park users, not wildlife
How many Claremont ratepayers
know that the report of the Lake
Claremont parkland recreation
working party is open for public submission, which closes on
January 22?
Timing of this submission period
over the holidays is unfortunate.
The report does not comply with
the committee terms of reference.
It undermines ecological components of the Lake Claremont
management plan of 2010.
Recommendations affecting free
passage of wildlife and the type
of trees to be retained, removed
or planted are centred more on
the supposed needs of park users
rather than the needs of the wildlife inhabiting the wetlands.
How high must the proposed
dog-proof fence around the entire
lake be to keep out larger dogs, and
what will the effect be on wildlife
wishing to forage in the parkland
over the fence?
No consideration is given to
council liability if unleashed dogs
on council-controlled parkland
attack users.
Now, dogs must be on leashes,

but if the council changes this,


knowing the possible risk, it may
be held liable for any damages.
The cost of litigation would be
borne by ratepayers.
It is proposed to expand the
dog exercise area to encompass
a large portion of the park east
of the lake, from Henshaw Lane
to join the current dog exercise
area at the corner of Davies and
Alfred roads.
Dogs will be permitted to be
off-leash in this area, which faces
homes and John Mulder Park, a
childrens playground and a barbecue area.
The proposed 12-bay carpark in
the park at the west end of Lakeway
should be subject to separate consultation with Lakeway residents.
The cost to ratepayers is substantial: the dog fence is estimated to
cost $40,000, the proposed 12-bay
Lakeway carpark $5000.

Boy denies Curtin Ave assault charge


A teenage boy and his mother
wept as he pleaded not guilty
on Tuesday to assaulting a
Cottesloe dinner party guest
last year.
The 16-year-old, in white socks
but no shoes, used his T-shirt to
wipe tears from his eyes before
he entered the plea in the Perth
Childrens Court.
After he was returned to custody his mother said her son was
being blamed for the violence

because he was the youngest


person there.
The South Lake boy and an
18-year-old Lockridge man
are alleged to have bashed
three people outside a Curtin
Avenue home on the evening
of November 2.
They were both charged with
assault occasioning bodily harm
last month.
Police allege one of the victims
was struck with a fence picket
and another had to be taken to

hospital.
It took police 2 hours to get
to the scene despite numerous
000 calls from the victims and
their neighbours.
The violence prompted the
home owner to call at last
months Cottesloe ratepayers
AGM for private security for
the suburb.
On Tuesday, Aboriginal
Legal Service lawyer Monica
Collard told Magistrate Andre
Horrigan about her client: Hes

instructed me to enter a plea of


not guilty.
Ms Collard said a complication
was not knowing if the adult had
entered a plea to his charge.
She said her client was keen
to have the assault matter progressed.
The boy pleaded guilty to
crimes including stealing $200
of property from the Subiaco
BWS, breaching a restraining
order in Beeliar last October;
and assaulting a person after

the breach.
I was intoxicated at the time,
the boy told Ms Horrigan.
Ms Collard said the boy
wanted to apply for bail, but he
was remanded in custody until
next Tuesday.
The 16-year-olds mother said
she did not know why her son
had been in Cottesloe on the
night.
He is getting the blame for
it because he was the youngest
person there, she said.

Sand racer
Ricciardo
Sam Morgan raced down
to Cottesloe beach on
Wednesday morning when
he heard Formula One ace
Daniel Ricciardo was on
the sand.
An excited Sam (10) arrived
to see the Perth-born speedster (26) putting the finishing
touches to an F1 racing car
sandcastle in front of Indiana.
I said, Can I have a photo
with you?, and he said Yeah,
Sam said.
The Cottesloe Primary
School student said Daniel,
who drives for Infiniti Red
Bull, was polite and happy to
be in a selfie.
I like driving fast, Sam
said. My mum says Im not
allowed to, but I will do when
Im older.
The beach car was built
by a professional sandcastle
builder from Rockingham,
who told onlookers his next
job was in Queensland.

Neighbours told to call police and stay inside


By DAVID HUDLESTON
Neighbours witnessing serious crimes at the units most
frequently visited by police
in Mosman Park should stay
inside and call 000, according
to council CEO Kevin Poynton.
He was responding to complaints from residents living
near Rope Works Park who
said rubbish dumped there by
some residents of the units at
16 Wellington Street had made
it Mosman Parks shame.
Several neighbours, who
wished to remain anonymous,
said police regularly attended
fights and arguments at the
units, where residents left piles
of rubbish at the front and back
of the property, which borders
the park.
Police said the address was
one of the most frequently visited by them in the Cottesloe
sub-district.
On Monday morning one resident said she went to clean up
rubbish in the park and found
syringes.
She said residents regularly
contacted the council and the

Department of Housing but


nothing seemed to be done.
She described the bit of the
park where rubbish was dumped
as Mosman Parks shame.
Mr Poynton said Mosman Park
was home to people from many
diverse backgrounds, including
Department of Housing tenants.
There have been issues for
many years with some not all
residents who live adjacent
to Rope Works Park, he said.
But, he said, the issues in
Mosman Park were minor compared with those in other parts
of Perth.
Mr Poynton said the council worked closely with the
Department of Housing to
manage problems like illegal

dumping, littering, theft, property damage and antisocial


behaviour.
We encourage residents of
adjoining properties who are
affected by these issues to record
the time and date of events, take
video or photographic evidence
where it is safe to do so and
forward these reports to police.
If residents are witnesses to
serious crimes or assaults, they

should stay indoors and call 000


immediately.
The town will continue to
work hard with strata managers, neighbouring residents,
Department of Housing and
WA Police to preserve the right
to safe and peaceful habitation that all residents should
enjoy.
The Housing Authoritys
Peter Lonsdale said there was

more than just handymen

no information to substantiate
suggestions that tenants of 16
Wellington Street were responsible for dumping rubbish or
syringes in the park.
He said cleaning and grounds
maintenance were done by a
contractor on a monthly basis
while rubbish removal and repairs were done when reported

Trading on past glories

Chinese are
Quay targets
The Barnett government is
looking for Chinese money
to help develop Elizabeth
Quay.
One of the lots in the 10ha
site has already been sold to
Chevron for its Asia-Pacific
HQ, though Chevron asked
to delay this project for two
years last October.
The Hong Kong-listed developer Far East Consortium
plans to build a Ritz Carlton
Hotel and high-rise apartment
block on the eastern side of
the new inlet.
The Metropolitan
Redevelopment Authority
has also produced English and
Chinese versions of a brochure
for two lots on the opposite
(western) side of the inlet with
high rise of up to 25 storeys.
Last July, the MRA began
a secretive process to pick a
winning bid for what would
go on the two blocks and who
would build it.
That process was due to finish this month.
Elizabeth Quay will officially
open to the public on Friday,
January 29.
Was the Quay worth it?

Subiacos reputation for markets has taken a bit of a hit lately.


Its newest venture, Markets on
Rokeby, started last November
but is now on hold until March
while the operators go back to
the drawing board.
Its opening came a few months
after the closure of the Station Street
Markets, which had drawn in
about 20,000 people every weekend
since 1985.
Just two weeks before Markets
on Rokeby opened, Subi Farmers
Market, which operates at Subiaco
Primary School on Saturday mornings, celebrated its sixth birthday.
With so much going on it can
be hard perhaps to keep up with
the latest comings and goings.
But a POSTie recently spotted
a reference to the Subis halcyon

Channel swimmers desperate and boatless


Last year, Bobbie Mignacca
and three other mums could see
the beach at the finish when they
had to retire from the Rottnest
Channel Swim.
We were so disappointed,
Bobbie said.
We decided to give it another
go and have been training hard.
But our support boat is no
longer available on February 27
and we are desperately searching
for a replacement.

Bobbie said the team all had


children in Year 5 at John XXIII
College and most had been swimming every day to train for the
event.
We train separately during
the week and then get together
on the weekend and swim laps
between the pylon and the groyne
at Cottesloe, she said.
If you have a boat and can help
on the day, call Bobbie on 0417

The Department of Fire and

The fee will apply to the fourth

In 2014-15, firefighters went to
9839 false alarms
about 27 a day

Business owners and shoppers in Cottesloe were taken


aback by rude messages at
a bus shelter on Tuesday.
The words were chalked
on the shelter walls, on
the corner of Station and
Railway streets.
A local said the messages
had been left by a homeless
man who often uses the shelter and sleeps in the trees at
the Station Street carpark,
by Stirling Highway.
The local said he called the
council to ask if the words
could be removed.

Southbound music moves north


Hot on the heels of cancelling

buoyed by an instant concert
to raise money for the victims
of the terrible bushfires in the
South-West.

Perths population needs to double


Perth city needed a population of about 40,000 before it
could reach a critical mass
of vibrancy and activation,
lord mayor Lisa Scaffidi told
a Claremont shop owner last
month.
She was responding to questions from Victor Tana who
owns Parker and Co stores in
Claremont Quarter and the CBD,

about parking and traffic issues.


She said the citys population
had risen from 5000 in 1995 to
about 23,000 today.
Sceptics might wonder if
Perths all-out assault to acquire
Subiacos South ward and about
3000 residents has something
to do with the councils demographic ambitions.

this week

One of Len Buckeridges


first apartment blocks has
had a stay of demolition after
a development assessment
panel rejected new plans for
its redevelopment.

By LINDA CALLAGHAN
The man reviewing plans to
sell part of the SAS Seaward
Village at Swanbourne said
he and his family once lived
in army housing.
Retired Lieutenant General
Mark Evans said he would make
his decision about the redevelopment plan by the weekend,
but it would take him time to
write a report for the Minister.
I will have made a decision
by the end of the week, he said
in Swanbourne on Monday.
I have already had about 35
submissions from organisations
and individuals.
Lieutenant General Evans was
appointed by Assistant Defence
Minister Darren Chester to a review the plan by the government
business unit, Defence Housing
Australia, because of increasing
concern about security if part
of the village next to Campbell
Barracks were sold for private
housing.
Liberal MP Andrew Hastie,
a former SAS officer, met
Lieutenant General Evans on
Monday.
He said the plan could affect
national security.
Lieutenant General Evans
said he was familiar with the
area.
I lived in Kelmscott when
I first moved to Australia, he
said.
Curtin MP and Foreign Affairs
Minister Julie Bishop met
Lieutenant General Evans at
the entrance to the village but
refused to go farther in or be
photographed with him near
one of the houses because she
said it would be an invasion of
residents privacy.
A former Sandhurst-trained
member of the British Army,
Lieutenant General Evans
worked on counter-terrorism in
Northern Ireland before moving to Australia and joining the
army here.
I tried out for the SAS but
failed the test to get in, he said.
His review coincides with a
second investigation ordered by
the Senate into how DHA works.
Stephen Conroy, Deputy
Leader of the Opposition in

Terrorism specialist Lieutenant General Mark Evans who is reviewing


plans to redevelop Seaward Village at Swanbourne was in the area on
Monday and said he knows the area from living in Perth.
the Senate, said a committee
should be set up to look into the
management and board of DHA.
The former managing director left at the end of last year
and was replaced temporarily
by a member of staff from the
Treasury.
The former managing director was one of only two of the
nine members with previous
military service.
Senator Conroy wants the
committee to examine if the
operations comply with the
DHA Act that handed the land
and housing from Defence to
the business unit DHA.
Lieutenant General Evans has
until February 29 to report to
Mr Chester.
The committee has until April
30 to report to the Senate.
A public meeting for
Swanbourne residents was
being held on Thursday evening.
Nedlands mayor Max Hipkins
wrote to Lieutenant General.
Evans to tell him a group set
up by the council said the plans
had major flaws.
Mr Hastie told ABC presenter

Jane Marwick that he was


throwing his weight behind the
opposition to the plan.
He said Campbell Barracks
had sensitive electronic and
physical facilities that could
be at risk.
He linked a land sale to the
99-year lease for Darwin port
to a Chinese company.
Who are we going to sell it
[Seaward Village] to, are we
going to have any controls in
place? he said.
He said he had spent six months
away from his wife and family
while serving overseas.
One comfort you take is that
they are being cared for and
there is minimal disruption,
he said.
He said the plan would mean
children had to change schools.
Terry Nolan, a retired SAS
brigadier and commander who
is now president of the regimental association said: The review
was only called because of the
public outrage.
It is important people in
Canberra know just how much
opposition there is.

Neighbours of the Kilmarnock


block, at the corner of Broome
and Eric streets in Cottesloe,
told the panel on Monday
the proposed $10million new
building would be disastrous
and like having a cruise liner
with a top-deck party pool next
to them.
Rhonda Peploe and Dorothy
Wantling own the 11-apartment
block and land, which was built
in 1964 for Ms Peploes father
when he was a manager at the
Ocean Beach Hotel.
On Monday, neighbours Cliff
and Jenny Tarry told the panel
one of their concerns was that
the proposed building would be
10m high and next to the lane
beside their home.
It would be a massive building ... can you imagine the effect on our quality of life? Mr
Tarry said.
There would be no blue sky
... it would be like living next
to a liner with a top-deck party
pool.
TPG planner David Caddy said
the new building would have 10
apartments.
It is an architect-designed
development and will improve
the streetscape, Mr Caddy said.

This Cottesloe building is 52


years old but a proposed replacement was refused on Monday.
A sticking point for the panel
of three state governmentappointed people and Cottesloe
councillors Katrina Downes
and Jay Birnbrauer was the
amount of open space in the
redevelopment.
Council planning manager
Andrew Jackson said if the open
space on the roof was taken out,
there would be only 28%, well
short of the required amount.
The intensity [of the proposed building] is more what
we were anticipating for the
beachfront, he said.
Ms Downes said she had issues
with the proposed building,
including sightlines.
The vote to reject the proposal
was unanimous.
Later, Mr Caddy said he had
taken good messages from
the meeting.
It would be fairly easy to
amend the plans and get approval, Mr Caddy said.
Hopefully well be back
within a month.

JTC tops the class


A Mt Claremont school has
had its best exam results in
10 years.
Fourteen students at John
XXIII College, achieved an
Australian Tertiary Admission
Rank (ATAR) of more than 99.
College results were outstanding, principal Kathleen
Negus said.
In fact, they are the best
results the college has had for
the past 10 years.
In a letter sent to former
students during the holidays,
Ms Negus said the Year 12
group had covered a range of
achievements as well as aca-

demic studies.
They were a wonderful group
and the excellent results are
well deserved, she said.
Seventy-five students scored
an ATAR of more than 90.
Certificates of distinction were
awarded to 11 JTC students who
were in the states top 0.5% for
individual course results.
Another 13 were awarded
certificates of commendation
for having achieved at least 20
A-grades during Years 11 and 12.
ATAR scores are based on
students best four subjects.
They allow colleges and universities to compare students.

Bomber pilot a lawn bowls ace


By JACOB NAZROO
Doug Arrowsmith (94),
a Floreat resident since
1971, has had renowned
involvement in two quite
different circles of life: war
and lawn bowling.
Asked if any skills he
learnt in the air force were
transferable to lawn bowls,
Doug said being a bomber
pilot had improved his leadership skills.
Doug captained and
advised clubs round the
country and helped to get
lawn bowling off the ground
in Malaysia.
But before a life of frequent bowling and consistent community involvement,
Doug went to war in his early
20s, making him one of the
older people in his crew.
Doug grew up in South
Australia and went to Scotch
College before moving to
Perth and working for the
Bank of NSW (now Westpac)
in 1939.
He was called up for
military training in 1942 and
applied to join the air force.
I did not know at the time
that the chances of surviving [as a pilot] in Bomber
Command were about one
in 10, Doug said.
Doug said pre-flight meals
(with real and not powdered
eggs) offered small pleasure
before each of the 35 bombings raids he flew on, knowing every time that he might
not come back.
On the only bombing raid
Doug could not do, due to
illness, the pilot who took
Dougs plane did not return.
After finishing his service
in March 1945, Doug had a
blind date with future wife
Helen, after a friend who

was getting married suggested Doug accompany her


to the wedding.
The two were together for
68 years until Helen died in
December 2014.
Family has been a huge
part of my life, Doug said,
reflecting on his wife and
two daughters, Lesley and
Judith, who were born in
1947 and 1951, respectively,
and who both live in Perth.
Doug bought some land
in Como for 58 pounds and
built a house in which he
and Helen raised their girls
while he worked as an accountant.

I did not know at


the time that the
chances of surviving
as a bomber pilot were
about one in 10

But Doug moved around


a lot, working in Nannup,
Busselton and Port Augusta,
where he began lawn bowling after a friend gave him
a bowls manual.
A keen sportsman from
a young age, Doug quickly
excelled in bowls, beating
the Busselton club champion
in his first game there.
And so began Dougs long
and distinguished bowling career, the highlight of
which, Doug said, was winning the state fours for the
first time.
Doug represented WA
51 times and has lifelong involvement with
Subiaco Bowling Club (now
Hollywood-Subiaco Bowling
Club).

front, his French Legion of Honour medal. Photo: Billie Fairclough
Outside playing, Doug
also coached the Malaysian
national team for four weeks
in 1996.
I take a lot of credit for
starting Malaysia off on the
right foot, Doug said.
Talking about the challenges of living in a post-war
mentality, Doug said it was
important to stay relaxed
and do things you enjoyed.
There was a problem of

suffering from nerves, he


said. If you are a certain
character you can overcome
them.
Doug does this by crossstitching and building things
in his home workshop.
Doug pointed out a crossstitched picture of a plane
hanging on his living-room
wall and said: Do you see
that? That took hundreds
of hours.

Councils wake up to
local short-term stays
By JACOB NAZROO
Rental website Airbnb shows
about 300 homes and apartments in the western suburbs
that are available to rent.
There are also about 120
single rooms and two shared
rooms on the site.
Property owners list their
homes, or just rooms, for rent
and the site now has 1.5million
listings in 34,000 cities and 190
countries.
The website advises hosts to
contact their councils to clarify
local rules on short-term rental.
If they allow it at all, Perth
councils often set conditions
before allowing residents to
let their homes or rooms for
accommodation.
Most would-be hosts need
council permission first.
A Mosman Park council
spokesperson said it had not
received any Airbnb host applications for the many properties
for rent in the town.
Stirling council said it had no
applications for Churchlands
or Woodlands.
Subiaco said it had not received any applications, but
noted that short-term lessors
did not need council permission
to host four or fewer people for
up to three consecutive months.
Ian Bignell, from Cambridge
council, said the town knew
there were Airbnb listings in
the town, but addressing the
issue had not been actively
considered.
Nedlands planning director
Peter Mickelson said the council
probably knew nothing about
the many listings in the city.
Nedlands town planning

scheme, which lists 80 potential


uses of properties (residential
and non-residential), says uses
not mentioned are deemed
to be not permitted, unless
special approval is granted by
the council.
Mr Mickelson said the council
would deal with illegal Airbnb
listings only if there were complaints.
We just dont have the resources to look for issues that
may or may not be there no
council does, he said.
Nedlands mayor Max Hipkins
said he recalled three cases
of short-stay applications and
two Airbnbs were approved
retrospectively, having already
begun illegal hosting.
At Nedlands councils meeting
last month, a narrow majority approved resident Dorothy
Bells application to use part
of her home as short-term accommodation, but that was not
via Airbnb.
Nedlands will soon have a
new town planning scheme and
Mr Hipkins wants it to better
address short-term rental.
A Subiaco spokesperson said
the councils new town planning
scheme, now being reviewed by
the WA Planning Commission,
better accommodated the growing popularity of short-term
rentals.
[The council] has taken
steps to include a definition
for short-stay dwelling in the
citys town planning scheme,
the spokesperson said.
Subiacos policy says shortterm rentals with more than
four tenants must go through
council and would be advertised
for public comment.

Wandana mental
health worry
People with mental health
issues are being dumped
at Wandana, according to a
Subiaco councillor.
Julie Matheson, who lives
close to the Department of
Housing complex at 93 Thomas
Street, is worried a trend towards tenants who need help,
not retired people, is causing
problems.
She points to drug dealing,
vandalism including car tyres
being slashed and even the use
of fire hoses to flood lift shafts
over Christmas as evidence of
a breakdown in the flats.
Ms Matheson wrote to Housing
Minister Colin Holt last month
asking him to reinstate the
original policy of placing retired residents in the 246-unit

complex, which is home to about


300 people.
It appears the number of
residents with mental illness
has increased, she said.
Without supervision or security officers at Wandana, social
problems caused by mental illness are left unchecked, causing
security concerns for residents.
The Department of Housing
claims Wandana is an independent living complex, not
supported accommodation, yet
continues to permit residents
without supervision in cases
of mental illness.
Ms Matheson said the departments housing rental policy
manual had been changed in
March 2013 to remove specific
eligibility criteria for Wandana.

A few bookings too many Owners of this Johnston Street home will have to cancel their Airbnb bookings,
or face a potential legal battle.

Stop or well fine you,


Grove warns Airbnb
By JACOB NAZROO
Peppermint Grove councillors will tell a Johnston Street
couple that if they do not stop
letting their home on Airbnb,
they could face legal action
and a maximum fine of $50,000.
At a special meeting on
Tuesday, councillors discussed
how to deal with Dominic and
Tasha Sheldrick, after hearing
they may take more bookings
between now and the councils
planned meeting in February.
Councillors and shire staff say
letting properties for short-term
accommodation is not allowed
and neighbours think it is disruptive.
But the Sheldricks disagree.
In October, a resident complained to the council that
the Sheldricks were letting
their home to short-stay tenants via the Airbnb website.
Last month, Ms Sheldrick
said she doubted it would
be an issue.
We are far more paranoid than our neighbours,
she said.
It would only be families
staying here.
A shire staffer told the
Sheldricks such land use
required council approval.
The Sheldricks then applied to change their land use
from residential dwelling
to residential building,
which, under the shires planning scheme, would allow
short-term accommodation.
When the Sheldricks told
the council that a Christmas
booking had already been
made, councillors let them
keep that booking and
planned to re-open the matter next month.
But shortly afterwards,

neighbours complained the


Sheldricks had taken more
bookings, so shire staff asked
them to stop letting their house
by the end of January.
In his report to councillors for
the special meeting, Peppermint
Groves development manager, Michael Whitbread,
quoted a letter from one of the
Sheldricks.
It said: I have received nothing from the council in writing
saying that I am not allowed to
short-term let my house.
My understanding was that
the council was revisiting this
in February.
I have received advice that it
is 100% legal for me to short-term
let my house, so until I receive
any further information to the
contrary in writing, my house

will continue to be advertised.


Councillor Karen Farley said
the Sheldricks response was
disappointing.
At Tuesdays meeting, shire
president Rachel Thomas said
the council would inform the
Sheldricks most likely by the
end of this week that unless
the non-compliant land use
ceases immediately, the council
would consider legal action.
The fine for a breach of the
scheme is a maximum of $50,000
with a $5000 daily penalty for a
continuing offence.
Ms Thomas did not want
to comment on whether she
thought the council should have
made it clear to the Sheldricks
they were not to accept more
bookings between Christmas
and February.

World-leading waste system will come at a cost


By LLOYD GORMAN
The cost of dealing with
household waste will jump for
most western suburb councils

in Shenton Park finally opens.
Three years after it was first
expected to process about
55,000 tonnes a year, the facility which its owners are now
calling Brockwaste could go

Brockwaste is based, said it was

CAMBRIDGE secures $21.5 million for PERRY LAKES land


Two Town of Cambridge owned
group housing sites in the Perry Lakes
Residential Estate have been sold.
The two sites with a total land area of
just over 10,100m were secured by Edge
Visionary Living (EdgeVL) for $21.5 million,
with a 12 month settlement period,
through a tender process that attracted a
great deal of interest and offers from three
companies.
Town of Cambridge Mayor Keri Shannon
said the Council was pleased to accept the
offer which was within the Towns price
expectations for the land.
The Perry Lakes Estate is a fantastic
residential location and I look forward to
the development of high-quality apartment
complexes on the recently sold blocks.
The development of the sites will provide
a mix of housing to complement the
existing high-quality homes that make
Perry Lakes a very desirable place to live,
said Ms Shannon.

Cambridge Acting Chief Executive Officer


Jason Lyon said these two lots form part
of the three group dwelling sites that were
transferred from the State Government to
the Town of Cambridge as part settlement
under the Perry Lakes Redevelopment Act.
The Town will be giving consideration to
the timing of putting the third and final
lot on the market at some stage this year
said Mr Lyon.
EdgeVL, a contemporary development
company with a focus on delivering high
quality apartment complexes tailored
to the Perth lifestyle, has commenced
design concepts for the sites to provide
162 apartments and a caf, and expects
to finalise plans within the next twelve
months.
EdgeVl boast an impressive portfolio of
developments including Lumiere in South
Perth, Arthouse in Joondalup and Vantage
on the Burswood Peninsula.

Widow makers smash roof


Five big eucalypt branches
smashed on to a house roof, a
car and a verge in the same
Nedlands street in two weeks.
Nedlands councillor Toni
James, who lives in the street,
said she and other councillors
had warned the council the lemon-scented gums in Archdeacon
Street were a risk.
This is why they call them
the widow makers, she said.
She said she had been outside
the front of her house when one
branch fell on the bonnet of a
passing car.
There were two young girls
in the car and it frightened the
life out of them, she said.
They were lucky it did not
hit the windscreen.
A few days later, another
branch fell on the verge of former mayor Colin Barnes house.
If he had been cutting the
grass the noise of the mower
might have prevented him
from hearing the cracking, Ms
James said.
She said the branch blocked
his drive.
He told her the trees had been
planted about 60 years ago.

Another branch fell overnight


on to the roof of a house this
week, damaging tiles.
Ms James said she did not like
to see trees removed.
When they get to the stage
where they are a risk to human
life something has to be done,
she said.
There has been no wind, the
branches are just dropping.
Ms James said an arborculturist had told her the trees
suffered.
They just soak up water when
it is very hot and then when it
is cold it causes contractures,
she said.
Nedlands council chief executive Greg Trevaskis said the
council was sending an arborist
to inspect the trees next week.
If they were judged unsafe
they would be removed, he said.
This is a species that has
been removed from the street
tree planting list, he said.
Those that remain are
managed in accordance with
Australian Standards and
regularly inspected for safety
and the health of the trees by
qualified arborists.

Two men got an unwelcome


surprise with their happy
meals last weekend, police
said.

A big branch of the 60 year-old lemon-scented gum fell on the roof of a


house in Archdeacon Street, Nedlands, without warning.

Detectives arrested the men at


the McDonalds in North Perth
after a burglary in West Perth.
It will be alleged the men
squeezed under a part-open
roller door at an Oak Lane
address and stole a laptop and
wallet last Saturday.
Police said the duo had
committed frauds at a BP service
station a short time later before
walking to the fast-food outlet
and using bank cards from the
stolen wallet to order food.
While they were waiting,
officers arrested them.
A Padbury man (34) and a
Beeliar man (32) were charged
with offences including
burglary, frauds and attempted
frauds, stealing and carrying or
possessing a prohibited weapon.
They are both due to appear
in the Perth Magistrates Court
next month.

great-great-grandfather of former WA premier Geoff Gallop.


Jennifer Tucker, whose
great-grandmother, Emily, was
Jamess daughter, gave the
items, which have been passed
down through four generations,
to the society.
She said the writing desk and
jewellery box appeared to have
been a gift from James to her
great-grandmother as part of
her dowry.
The Bible was inscribed by
James in 1878 and given to his
son, John, who left it to his sister,

Elizabeth, when he died two


years later aged 20.
Society vice-president Lennie
McCall said the artefacts were
particularly relevant because
the Gallop family lived in
Nedlands and leased Crawley
Park, where UWA now stands,
and a Dalkeith farm.
We are not just collecting
the writing desk because it
is a lovely piece, Ms McCall
said.
It is very important for members of the public to have access
to these things.

Some ideas for


Cott in 2016

Burton Park is
best school site

Here are a few New Years


resolutions for Cottesloe council.
Embrace the Hammond plan
for upgrading the public toilets
beneath Indiana a vexed issue.
Reject the idea of shark nets
or swimming pools near the
groyne this is one of the safest
swimming areas in WA.
Consider paid parking for the
beach carpark (not Wilson) to
defray the costs of maintenance
and removing rubbish and graffiti from the adjacent lawn.
Do not purchase any more
public art from Sculpture by the
Sea we have enough.
Aim to lower rates, not merely
to keep up with rate of inflation.
I hope these ideas will, in the
words of Poirot, stimulate the
little grey cells.
Lew Smith
Forrest Street, Cottesloe

Re the proposed new secondary school, and anyone wishing


to comment (or revise their
comments) to the Education
Department, or on the survey
put out by Churchlands MP Sean
LEstrange.
On grounds of safety and
less environmental and social
impact, I believe the proposed
site in Fred Burton Park offers
the best solution overall.
There would be less risk of
fire arising from or threatening
the school if it were not located
in bush.
The other three proposed sites
are Bush Forever sites, but, from
my reading of a report prepared
by Cambridge councils development committee last November,
Fred Burton Park is not.
In terms of social impact,
Templetonia Park and the
former City Beach high school
site are cheek-by-jowl with suburban housing, whereas with
Fred Burton Park there is some
separation.
Concerns have been raised
about ocean views being blocked
if the school were to be located
at Fred Burton Park.
But, from my inspection of the
area, houses with ocean views
are quite elevated and would
not lose their views unless the
school is of high-rise design.
Fred Burton Park already
has a large parking area and an
established oval which could be
used by the school.
In a letter to the Department
of Education last October,
Cambridge Coastcare wrote
(cambridgecoastcare.com.au):
Fred Burton Reserve is a large
area and it may be that a secondary school could be built on
the reserve in conjunction with
a corridor for flora and fauna
as described in our [BioLINC]
project.
In terms of absolute overall
costs, I believe Fred Burton
Park also offers the best solution, especially if time is of the
essence.

henton Park reader Georey Dean sent in this photo of Lake Jualbup, which is drying fast in the summer
heat. There are still large areas of water, Georey says, but they are very shallow. Most of the ducks in
this picture are standing up!

Golf clubs duty is to protect the bush, not bulldoze it


Is chutzpah on steroids the
right tone for the brazen ambition of the Cottesloe Golf Club
for taking over public green
space for its sole private benefit
(Golfers chip away for public
land, POST, January 2)?
While some may argue that
only 1% of the reserve is targeted as a funding source for the
club, why should any community
asset be appropriated in such a
manner?
Why not hand over any green
space or conservation and recreational reserve to whoever
wants to make millions?

The 62.2ha reserve in Mt


Claremont has been leased to
Cottesloe Golf Club for decades,
with the current lease in force
until April 30, 2032.
What do residents and
Nedlands ratepayers get for
a private clubs exclusive use
of an extensive prime coastal
location?
One peppercorn per annum!
In return, the club is now effectively asking Nedlands and
the state government to give it
a massive subsidy.
The bush corridor that club
CEO Troy OHern pointed to in

the POST photo is not unused


land, but a community environmental asset.
This asset forms a link in the
tenuous remnant threads of
natural environment.
The club is privileged to be
custodian of numerous islands
of high-quality coastal dune
vegetation within the reserve
precinct, with a duty to protect,
not demolish.
The bush bordering Alfred
Road also provides a buffer and
pleasant vista between the golf
course and a busy distributor
road.

The Aria monster, directly opposite the syndicates proposed


site, will create a traffic problem
once occupied.
If the club gets its way, an
access problem will become
a nightmare, maybe requiring
solution by yet another set of
lights or a roundabout on a hill.
Of course, Nedlands council
and Main Roads can fund that
once the quarter million is
found.
Is anyone gobsmacked by the
audacity?

Put old news to good use

Swanbourne reader Wilma van Boxtel sent in this photo of her handy
newspaper poo-scoops.

Instead of spending $36,000


on plastic bags to pick up dog
poo (Poo bag problem fixed,

How does Bill benefit Perth ratepayers?


I read the report about Perths
expansion plans (Scaffidi has
giant ambitions for Perth,
POST, January 9), and some
background information from
the City of Perth website.
Nowhere can I find mention
of a single tangible benefit
that the expansion proposed
in the City of Perth Bill might
bring to Perth residents and
ratepayers.
One story circulating is that
Perth will gain a couple of
brownie points on some obscure
international ranking of cities.

Even if this is correct, what


possible benefit could this have
for residents and ratepayers?
Perhaps it means Perth council representatives get to sit at
a better table when they attend
international conferences?
What is also puzzling is that
one of the three key targets of
the expansion plan Kings Park
already lies entirely within
Perths boundaries.
So what difference would the
addition of the QEII precinct
and UWA/Crawley really make
to City of Perth?

Why not merge markets, music?

The only conclusion I can


reach is that there is some
hidden agenda, on the basis
that no compelling reasons for
the expansion have been put
forward to date.
If someone out there knows
what the real reason is, please
explain it, because I am sure I
am not the only one who doesnt
get it.

doing this Ive never used any
plastic poo bags.
If more people would follow
this trend, councils could spend
the money saved on proper
leash-free exercise areas for
our dogs.

school holiday camp next week. Photo: Paul McGovern

Athletes tell how to get to Olympics


Teenagers at Athletics WAs
first school holiday camp will
get to meet athletes aiming to
compete in the Rio Olympics.
The camp, at the WA Athletics
Stadium in Floreat next week,
is for 11 to 16-year-olds.
They will meet four Australian
Olympic athletes: relay runner
Brianna Beahan, javelin thrower
Kim Mickle, pole-vaulter Nina
Kennedy, and runner Lyndsay
Pekin.
They will talk about their
careers and what motivates

them as well as giving the young


athletes insights into Olympians
training schedules.
Kim (31) said participation in athletics always went
gangbusters the year after an
Olympics, but dropped off again.
She said the camp would be
a great opportunity for kids
to learn from Olympians who
would be competing in Rio De
Janeiro only a few months later.
It is not that we are 10 feet
tall, she said.
We are normal people I

was a kid once.


Nina (18), who went to
Presbyterian Ladies College,
said she had got into polevaulting when she was about 12,
after being spotted by a scout at
Little Athletics WA.
This year, she hopes to make
it to Rio.
Jake Trewin, from Athletics
WA, said the organisation hoped
to hold a camp in every school
holiday.
For more information, call
Jake on 0450 019 077.

Carta was signed at Runnymede


to protect an individuals property rights from abuse of the
kings own men.
David Jannings, a Kojonup
farmer, bought his unit 14 years
ago.
Its scary stuff, Mr Jannings
said.
The syndicate made their
latest offer in October, and it
was considerably less than the
first one.
Owners said they resented low
offers for their properties after
the syndicate had bought the
30sq.m laundromat at the back
of the block for $1.45million.
Itll be interesting to see if we
get evicted and thrown out into
the street, Mr Jannings said.
Owner Jean Forrest said
something needed to happen to
improve Cottesloes beachfront.
Ms Forrest said the latest offer
from the syndicate was a few
months ago.
I didnt take it too seriously,
she said.
Its a waiting game.
Clive Beros leases his property to the Amberjacks fish and
chip shop.

He said Mr Capelli came to a


strata AGM to try to convince
owners to join his syndicate.
A few months ago I met
Debbie. Shes ruffled a few
feathers, Mr Beros said.
She said previous prices paid
were irrelevant. I told her she
was a funny girl.
Mr Capelli referred queries to
Ms Whiting, who was unavailable
for comment.
New laws forced on Cottesloe
by the Barnett government to
allow beach high-rise came into
effect in 2014.
They allow a wall of five-storey
buildings along Marine Parade,
the height of the chocolate box
motel units next to the Ocean
Beach Hotel, between Eric and
Forrest streets. Higher buildings, of eight and six storeys,
are now allowed on the OBH
and Il Lido sites.
A Landgate spokeswoman
said public consultation about
the changes to the Act saw 154
registered participants, including 35 organisations, submitting
1160 official comments.
She said some people or
groups who made comments
asked for their names to be
kept secret.

Liquor stores targeted again


BWS liquor shops in Subiaco
and Wembley have been hit by
more crimes.
Last Friday, a woman aged 40
to 50 went into the shop opposite
Subiaco railway station and stole
two bottles of red wine.
A shop worker went outside
and found her sitting nearby,
begging for money with a handwritten sign.
After the worker mentioned
the theft, the woman became
abusive and aggressive, and left.
The woman had brown hair,
was about 1.65m, and slim.

Last Sunday, two children, who


were described as about 12 or
13, stole bottles of Jack Daniels,
Johnny Walker and Jim Beam
from the BWS in Wembleys
Cambridge Street.
In November, teenagers stole
bottles of Wild Turkey and
Smirnoff Gold Apple from the
Subiaco shop. Wembley police
caught up with them at City West
railway station.
Last month, two BWS shops in
Wembley were hit on the same
day, when thieves stole vodka
and bourbon.

KEEPING THE TOWN OF CLAREMONT COMMUNIT Y INFORMED | JANUARY 2016

FROM THE MAYORS DESK

In 2015 Council established a working party to build on the


success of the Lake Claremont Concept Plan, developed
in 2010 to effectively manage and maintain the Lake
Claremont Precinct.

LAKE CLAREMONT

The year ahead promises to


be a busy one as we progress
with the implementation of the
business improvement program,
which will see a renewed focus
on customer service. Plans for
2016 also include activation
initiatives focussed on the
Claremont town centre, the
opening of Freshwater Bay Museums School Days
exhibition and the continued work on the upgrade of
Claremont Park.

FEEDBACK

Community feedback was sought in June via a survey that


identified a number of areas for improved recreational
use within the precinct. These results have since been
incorporated into a report which is now being advertised
for comment.
A copy of the Report of the Lake Claremont Parkland
Recreation Working Party can be viewed at
www.claremont.wa.gov.au or by visiting the Towns
administration building at 308, Stirling Highway, Claremont.
Town of Claremont is seeking feedback on the report
until 22 January 2016. Comments can be made in writing
to Stephen Goode, CEO, Town of Claremont, PO Box 54,

performance. If you havent received yours yet, pick
up a program from the Claremont Hub & Library today!

60th Birthday Bonanza

Library services 60th birthday party that took place last
month. Little ones were enthralled by special birthday

I am extremely proud of the Towns continued hard


work and look forward to seeing these and many other
projects come to fruition in 2016.

Back to rote
learning

Sun link probed


to cut obesity

Pretty classrooms are not


the key to academic success,
Mandy Mason says.

Subiaco researchers are hoping to find out how sunlight


protects people against obesity
and type 2 diabetes.

The mother of a teenage autistic daughter, Ms Mason has


opened a business in Claremont
for children with special learning needs.
Thirty to 40 years ago there
was a change in education, Ms
Mason said.
People thought if kids had
pretty environments they would
learn on their own.
No research supports that,
and literacy rates have fallen.
Ms Mason said her venture,
Cognilab, was aimed at children
with autism, language delays
and developmental delays.
It is for children aged three to
eight, though we have just taken
on an 11-year-old, she said.
Once children get beyond
10 or 11 their needs get more
complex, but we are getting so
much interest.
Fees are $125 an hour for
the one-on-one service and Ms
Mason said she encouraged
parents to enrol their children
for 40 hours.
Ms Mason said her business
was not tutoring.
We teach composite skills:
handwriting, reading, maths, in
rote practice, she said.
Our kids are timed, and we
coach them to get better and
better results.
When a child is reading 160
words a minute with zero mistakes, they are a fluent reader.
Ms Mason said she found it
disappointing schools were
rote-drilling children in sports,
but not academic basics such as
reading and writing.
Ms Masons daughter, who

Skill sets Mandy Mason drills one of her young clients in the basics.
Photo: Paul McGovern
is now 14, was diagnosed with
autism when she was 14 months
old.
She said her quest to find out
how to help her daughter led to
her meeting doctors Kimberley
and Nicholas Berens in New
York.
Ms Mason said the Berens Fit
Learning method was what she
offered at Cognilab.
She has organised a presentation by the Berens at the

UWA Club next Wednesday,


January 20.
Tickets ($85) are available via
the Cognilab website at www.
cognilab.com.au.
In 2012 Ms Mason closed her
East Fremantle treatment centre, LEARN, for children with
severe autism.
At the time she said providing best-practice service for
young people with autism was
an expensive endeavour.

A $75,000 grant from Diabetes


Research is paving the way for
researcher Shelley Gorman to
build on an earlier study which
showed non-burning ultraviolet
radiation helped suppress the
development of type 2 diabetes
symptoms and obesity in mice
on a high-fat diet.
Dr Gorman, from the Telethon
Kids Institute, in Subiaco, and
colleagues here and overseas
suspect the sun has a positive
effect on the bodys metabolic
processes, releasing stored
nitric oxide from skin.
Dr Gorman said obesity
and type 2 diabetes affected
the health of millions of
Australians.
Ultimately, this project could
see the creation of health policies encouraging people to expose their skin to safe amounts
of sunlight while exercising, or
being involved in outdoor activities, as a way of helping keep
obesity and type 2 diabetes at
bay, she said.
It could also open the door
for the creation of new medications, or lead to existing treatments being used in different
ways to treat these conditions.
Diabetes Research executive
director Sherl Westlund said the
project could be completed by
the end of the year.
Already 1.2million
Australians have diabetes and
every day another 280 people
are diagnosed with it thats
one person every five minutes,
she said.
So if we could harness the

Dr Shelley Gorman
power of a free resource such
as sunlight to bring down rates
of type 2 diabetes, that would
be incredible.
Its predicted that by 2040,
642 million people, or one in
10 people, will be living with
diabetes globally.
Type 2 diabetes accounts
for roughly 90% of all cases, so
research such as this is a must
if were to seriously address
this issue.

Boy stole buggy


A 13-year-old boy pleaded
guilty this week to stealing a
golf buggy in Cottesloe.
In the Perth Childrens Court
on Tuesday, Magistrate Andre
Horrigan heard the boy was
12 when he stole the buggy
from Sea View Golf Club on
September 25 last year.
Ms Horrigan delayed sentencing until other charges on
unrelated matters were heard
in a Midland court.

DR LINLEY LUTTON, architect, planner and advocate for


better urban planning, says the history of the Esplanade
Reserve has been swept under the Elizabeth Quay carpet
On January 29, laser
and light shows will mark
the official opening of
Elizabeth Quay.
Thanks to the popularity of Perths wonderful
Fringe Festival and the
market stalls being set up,
thousands of people will be
drawn there.
The government will claim
credit for creating a place
where such attractions can
take place.
It will do everything it can
to entice people to this site
to show how successful its
plan has been.
The large areas of rolledout lawn, later to be replaced
by 30-storey office buildings,
will temporarily provide
soft places for families to
gather in groups and enjoy
the activities.
During the festival season,
the place will be popular.
The truth is of course that
little if any of this is due to
Elizabeth Quay.
Prior to its development
there existed an expansive
and beautiful public reserve
with panoramic views of the
river and Kings Park.
It was surrounded by large
majestic trees similar to
those found in the great public places in other Australian
capitals.
The A-class Esplanade
Reserve was specifically
created by our city fathers in
the 19th century to be used
forever as a community recreation and gathering place.
It has hosted many memorable public events associated with Perths rise to
becoming a major city.
Its value to the community

was great and in recognition


it was protected via heritagelisting.
During the public campaign
for a better waterfront development, Planning Minister
John Day used to repeatedly
refute that the reserve was
heritage-listed until someone
in his department obviously
corrected him.
All the activities to be held
at Elizabeth Quay could have
been held more comfortably
on the Esplanade Reserve.
Pop-up restaurants, market stalls and lighting shows
could all have taken place
on the reserve.
It is too easy, at the time
of its opening, for all the
players complicit in the
destruction of the reserve to
sweep the real story under
the carpet as they celebrate
Elizabeth Quay.
This is how it happened.
Just prior to 2008, the
Carpenter Labor government
was set to deliver Perths

The long-gone A-class Esplanade Reserve was the natural venue


for big events and ceremonies, like this 1983 celebration after
Australia II won the Americas Cup.
No inlets were proposed
waterfront development.
Perth was in the middle because of the known probof a unique boom and this lems associated with keeping
seemed to be the right time inlet water fresh in this very
to deliver this much talked slow-moving part of the river.
Then, with no obvious imabout project.
As with all good waterfront perative, the Labor governdevelopments Labors plan ment suddenly embarked on
was to develop along the an alternative plan to seize
and develop the Esplanade
actual waterfront.
The plan included retain- Reserve, irrespective of its
ing both Riverside Drive and heritage listing.
While the worldwide trend
the Esplanade Reserve.
is to save and build parks, the
Labor government decided
it should reverse the trend.
Naturally, a way was needed to convince the public
that this blatant land grab
was in fact a far better type
of waterfront development.
So it engaged interstate
architects to create a vision
to convince the public that
destroying the Esplanade
Reserve was worthwhile.
This vision became known
as Dubai on Swan because its
super towers resembled the
fantasy buildings of Dubai.
In this new fantasy plan,
inlets were drawn, Riverside
Still a mess of fill and construction, the cleared site will soon be- Drive was rerouted and the

worth it?

It was indeed an unrealistic


project and the community
rejected it.
A much simpler and unimaginative plan was then conceived
and its central theme was that
the Esplanade Reserve be
intensely developed around a
small artificial inlet.
The Carpenter government
was then swept from power and
Colin Barnett became Premier.
The project was placed on the
back burner.
Several years later, the
Barnett government revived the
project and adopted it with all
its obvious flaws.
The public had no involvement
rin the plan and their concerns
were ignored.
All public polling showed the
majority of people were against
the project.
Large public rallies were held
calling for a better plan and a

petition with 14,000 signatures
was submitted to Parliament
calling for a rethink.
But this was a new era of
autocracy for Perth, led, in my
opinion, by a Premier out of
step with community values and
who showed little capacity to
negotiate or revise his thinking.
It is worth viewing the
Department of Plannings website and read its report on public
submissions received about the
waterfront to see just how selfserving this department can be
when it wishes to implement
its plans.
One of the most interesting
reports associated with the
waterfront development is that
prepared by traffic consultants

the government-appointed to
predict the impact of diverting
Riverside Drive.
Curiously, the consultants
were briefed not to include
the impact of any future traffic resulting from the massive
amount of new office buildings
proposed for the CBD.
Even without accounting for
future traffic volumes, they still
advised that rerouting Riverside
Drive would result in serious
traffic congestion in and around
the city, as far afield as Manning
Road, Como.
Their report was tabled in
Parliament and largely ignored.
Serious congestion has now
occurred in the city and will
continue to increase.

When work on Elizabeth Quay


started, Perth was already on the
slippery slopes of the post mining construction boom and Mr
Barnett was warned that Perth
could not sustain the amount of
commercial development being
proposed at both Elizabeth Quay
and the Northbridge Link.
This would have been the
logical time to review the whole
project.
The under treasurer at the
time advised the government not
to undertake so much development concurrently.
Mr Barnetts public response
was to let the project begin.
People trying to save the reserve
were branded old grass keepers
who simply couldnt cope with
change.
Mr Barnetts often stated justification was that this project
is for future generations.
Now is the time to visit Kings

Park and look down on Elizabeth


Quay.
Ask yourself, was it really
worth replacing the once gracious Esplanade Reserve with an
introverted, cramped assembly
of 30-storey buildings surrounding a small artificial inlet?
Was it appropriate to spend
half a billion dollars in this way,
at this time?
Has Perth really been enriched as a result?
Will this really be the tourist
magnet the government would
have us believe, given that it
will be a construction site for
20 years?
Are the narrow hard-paved
areas around the inlet really
a suitable replacement for the
soft and expansive Esplanade
Reserve?
I suspect our wise founding
fathers would be unimpressed
and unconvinced.

Boobooks love banksias


in Shenton Bushland
The returning carnabys
cockatoos, including those with
their young, have been spending
quality time in the bush at the
old Royal Perth rehab hospital
site and in Shenton Bushland.
It is a wonderful sight to see
a flock of carnabys in the bush,
feeding.
They have had to wait for the
seeds of Banksia attenuata to
develop within the cones, and
now they feed with enthusiasm.
On one evening visit to
Shenton Bushland, the carnabys
were somewhere else.
While I was ducking under a
banksia branch, a big bird flew
from about a metre above my
head to a jarrah branch.
How beautiful it was to look
upon this boobook owl.
It was a shame to have inadvertently disturbed it.
Looking back at the tree I had

just ducked under, I saw another


boobook, and looking around
further, yet another one.
Thrice blessed.
BirdLife Australia says the
southern boobook species has
suffered range-wide decreases
in numbers across Australia
since 1999.
It says: Further investigation
is needed to understand the
factors that are driving this consistent decline across regions.
Shenton Bushland is really
lovely and I recommend a walk
around it.
It is managed by the Friends
group and by Nedlands council,
and the weeds are controlled.
This is not the case with the
threatened bush to its north, in
Underwood Avenue.
Margaret Owen
Daglish Street, Wembley

ottesloe resident Julie Hillin was awestruck by the sight of the massive cloud of smoke billowing over
Coldstream Highway, near Collie, last Thursday, from the Waroona bushfire in the South-West. Julie
stopped on her way home from the South-West to take this photo. By the weekend, the full extent of the
Waroona bushfire had destroyed 170 properties and 71,000ha, and all but wiped out the town of Yarloop.

Fossil-fuel-free councils are leading the way

Margaret Owen was delighted to see boobook owls in Shenton Bushland a species whose numbers are declining.

New Year and another sweltering summer.


With 2015 assessed as
Australias fifth hottest year ever
recorded (and the worlds hottest), the increasing incidence
of extreme catastrophic weather
around the world while this
continent experiences more
fires and floods, and the UNs
Climate Summit in Paris last
month, it is impossible to be
unaware of climate change.
It manifests itself in the
shocking devastation of Yarloop
and other parts of the drying
South-West.
So, too, for our Pacific island
neighbours, as sea level rise
destroys their food gardens.
We humans are all together
in this.

Certain banks, superannuation companies, universities and


local governments have joined
the heartening movement to
divest from fossil fuels.
Coal is the greatest villain in
global warming.
Scientists tell us that more
than 80% of coal, 50% of gas
and 30% of oil reserves should
not be burnt if we are to keep
global warming from exceeding
2C above pre-industrial levels.
Last August, after much
goading by disgruntled
departing customers, the
Commonwealth Bank stopped
backing Adanis Carmichael
mine in Queenslands Galilee
Basin.
Alas, federal Environment
Minister Greg Hunt recently

re-approved this mine.


Ridiculously, Australia subsidises fossil fuels to the tune
of about $4billion a year.
How our renewable energy
industries would soar ahead
given subsidies like this!
While our national government fumbles and tarries,
Fremantle council has adopted
a fossil-fuel-free investment
policy, as have Goomalling
and, more recently, Armadale
councils.
Cockburn council has been
testing divestment successfully.
Why dont our western suburb
councils join in during this
critical post-Paris conference
period?

What trick of nature is this?

Waste & Recycling


Guide 2016
The following calendar replaces the previously supplied 2015 - 2016
Waste & Recycling Guide.

On my wifes recent return from


a walk around Lake Monger, she
claimed she had seen a white swan.
When I was a wee bairn, I
listened to my parents reading
bedtime stories that sometimes
involved white swans.
As I grew, I learnt that a white
swan made as much sense as a
white crow.
Everyone knows the natural
colour of swans is black.

So the question is, what did she


really see?
Hallucinations are unlikely,
because she doesnt drink.
The only explanation I can think
of is that some cruel prankster
has spray-painted a normal swan
white.
I urge other walkers to be alert
for this.

Thanks for rescuing me

Recycling Week (take out both bins)

I would like to express my


thanks to the couple and another
bystander who came to my rescue
when my car ran out of petrol in
Barker Road, Subiaco, on Monday.
Without my phone, and never
having experienced this before,
I was in a panic.
They calmly pushed my car to
a secure spot so I was out of the
way of others.
Luckily, a petrol station was not

far away, and I rushed to purchase


a jerry can and spout another
new experience.
Thanks to the kindness of strangers, it all worked out fine.
I dont know what I would have
done if you had not come along
when you did.
Thank you so much.

Croquet club
rockets into a
new decade
Rocketball, the croquet equivalent of
crickets T20, is one of the revolutionary ways Cambridge Croquet Club has
become the biggest in WA since it began
10 years ago.
The fast game, played to music and flashing
lights, dispels any stuffy image people may
have of the game of croquet.
Rocketball has been a great success with
the girls from St Hildas and the boys of Hale,
said club captain Brian Hadley, a former state
coach and club champion.
You have 10 seconds to take your shot or
you lose it. You can play 20 hoops in 15 to 20
minutes, which young people love.
Brian said the croquet club, which is in
Chandler Avenue West in Floreat, started a
year of celebrations for its 10th birthday with
a breakfast last Sunday.
The Cambridge club began controversially
it was an amalgamation of the former Floreat
and Leederville croquet clubs but has thrived
since the first game was played on the greens
10 years ago last weekend.
The business plan we presented then to
Cambridge council has more than come to
fruition, Brian said. The council has been
a terrific supporter.
The club is highly sustainable and is the
WA club of choice for national and international events.
In September, we will host the Australian
croquet golf championships.
Brian said the club had produced its share of
state coaches, captains and players, with five
club players in the current state croquet golf
squad and one in the state association team,
another form of croquet.
He said the club had been innovative from
the start, getting a liquor licence, wi-fi and
encouraging venue hire to provide an income.
We have quality people on the management

Cook takes her shot, watched by fellow players,

committee and a fantastic band of volunteers,
Brian said.
As well as that, we are a powerhouse in golf
croquet, and in the past 10 years have never
failed to have players in state teams.
And one of our juniors played in the world
championships in England.
At the breakfast on Sunday, the club welcomed new patron, Churchlands MP Sean
LEstrange.

FISHING

with Gary Shugg

This is a very well-managed and lucrative


fishery that is carefully monitored by the WA
Department of Fisheries.
Fisheries officers are determined to protect
the fishery from black market racketeers who
steal crays from recreational and professional
pots.
After you have got up at 4am full of anticipation, driven to the boat ramp and launched your
boat to go out and check your cray pots, there is
nothing worse than finding them empty.
This is when you start to wonder if perhaps
someone has beaten you to it.
During a bumper cray season like this year,
there is absolutely no excuse for pulling another
fishers pots and the department takes a very
dim view of it.
Recreational cray fishers are catching plenty
this year, with many boats getting their bag
limits, some from the first pot.
It is great to see a good season and it shows that
the Fisheries scientists have done their homework
and with the guidelines and rules they have put
into place to make this fishery blossom.
Which is why the stupidity and greed of some
anglers is just so amazing.
The good news is that they do get caught, as
reported by the Fisheries department recently.
Russell Ewen (61) and Christopher Stickland
(66) had been under surveillance by officers for
two years and were caught and charged with
several offences, including 11 joint charges
of interfering with fishing gear that did not
belong to them.
One had 230 cray tails and 24 whole crayfish
stored at his home and the other had more than
60 cray tails at his place.
The limit is 24 crays per licensed angler,
including at home.
The magistrate fined each of them $14,000
plus court costs of nearly $170 in the Joondalup
Court. But it didnt stop there. Ewen was hit with
a mandatory penalty of $46,250 and he lost his
boat and trailer as well as his cray pots.
Strickland was hit with a mandatory penalty
of $13,200 and he also lost his craypots.
They were fined a total of nearly $90,000 as
well as losing their equipment.
North metropolitan compliance manager
Todd AVard said the court had issued the
appropriate penalties for the offenders. Damn
right, I say.
So enjoy your cray fishing this year, and
stick to your limits.

Nedlands musician Paula Gilet plays


all types of recorders, from the sopranino
to the huge contrabass, and is passionate
about the instrument and playing in small
ensembles.

Paula Gilet is assembling an ensemble to play recorders of all sizes.

She has a recorder ensemble of six with


a range of abilities and is looking for more
players of any age and ability and all recorder sizes.
Most importantly, they need to be interested in learning ensemble playing skills,
Paula said.
The recorder has had too much bad press,
mostly because many of us were forced to
learn from teachers who were forced to teach
what they were not interested in.
I love the instrument.
Paula has prepared a program for the year,
with the group meeting once a fortnight on
Saturdays at 2pm for two hours, starting on
January 30.
On the alternate weeks, the less confident
players can come to practise and learn different skills, she said.
At the end of each rehearsal we have a
cuppa and a chat.
Paula said the recorder was probably the
easiest instrument to learn, but possibly the
hardest to get right.
There is much musicianship to learn, and
that is the challenge, she said.
Anyone interested in joining Paulas
Nedlands group can phone her on 0406 298 404.

Unitarian gathering

Cantaris choristers had great fun having their photo taken.

A big year for Cantaris choir


Cantaris Childrens Choir
is only a year old but has already performed at the Perth
Convention Centre, the Melville
Family Christmas Concert and
Carols at the Quarry.
The choir is an absolutely
wonderful group of children,
said director Danielle Joynt.
They sing with all their
heart, they love to learn their
new pieces, and they have given
some wonderful performances
in only twelve months.
The community choirs is
based in Mosman Park and is
for children aged five to 10 who

love to sing in a relaxed, happy


and supportive atmosphere.
No auditions are required and
the children sing music from
all over the world and from all
periods.
Rehearsals are quite different
from conventional choirs.
Our rehearsals are very
movement-based, Danielle
said. Because of the childrens
young age, there is not a lot of
sitting down.
Our rehearsals involve
physical and vocal warm-ups,
rote note learning, and many
musical games and traditional
dances. Rehearsals are a physi-

cal workout as much as vocal.


Next month the choir will
begin rehearsing in its new
home at Camelot in Lochee
Street, Mosman Park.
Rehearsals will be from 4 to
4.55pm on Monday afternoons,
with three performances already
lined up for this year.
New members are always
welcome to attend rehearsals to
see what the choir does there
is no obligation.
If you are interested in the choir,
contact Danielle on 9364 7726 or
at danielle@cantaris.com.au.

Hollywood
Subiaco
Ten bowlers turned
out for scroungers last
Sunday and after a
solid work-out in the
preliminary, John
Hall, Tony Byrne
and Robbie Appleton
moved straight into
the final.
John carried on his
good pennant form to
finish a comfortable
winner from Tony and
Robbie.
Despite the friendly
temperature, only
a handful of ladies
turned up for pennant practice last
Tuesday so they
played scroungers.
Deirdre Duncan
crossed the finish line
first with 16 points,
closely followed by
Lesley Langley with
15, Anne Ormsby 11,
Dot Leeson 9 and
Nada Bonny 7.
After a 30-minute
delay while the temperature settled,
the Mad Dogs and
Englishmen played
mid-week pennants.
In a disheartening
game for division 2,
the rink of John Hall,
Pedro Foott, Ron
Middleton and Mike
Hatch rallied late to
lose by 6.
It was hard grind
for Alan Brindley,
Bill Ford, Robbie
Appleton and Tony
Byrne and they eventually finished all
square.
However, Leigh
Fitzpatrick, Colin
Graves, Glen Morey
and Vern Jones had

pushed their lead


out to 18 shots at the
halfway mark and
eventually won by 17.
In division 4, Ted
Brown, Bill Chellew,
Graeme Gerrans and
John Horsfall copped
the full force of a
red hot opposition,
eventually losing by
10, while Rob Blythe,
Uncle Arthur, Barry
Pascoe and Peter
Evans went down by
4. Laurie Ward, Chris
Osborn, Greg Bridges
and Ray Preston
managed to finish all
square.
The more things
change the more they
stay the same... On
Saturday, division
2 picked up 6pts
but remains eighth
overall.
Barry Pascoe, Bill
Ford, Jack Hamilton
and Vern Jones battled to get within
4 shots at games
end while Leigh
Fitzpatrick, Colin
Graves, Ron Middleton
and Dan Byrne finished all square.
After a disastrous
start, Rob Blythe, John
Hall, Glen Morey and
Tony Byrne rallied
to win by 3, while
Alan Brindley, Rod
Hickling, Robbie
Appleton and Mike
Hatch had a dream
start then eased off
to win by 6.
It was another lesson for division 5 on
how to play on grass
greens when they travelled to North Perth.
Bob Bridges, Bill
Chellew, Graeme
Gerrans and John
Horsfall lost by double digits while Ted
Brown, Ray Fells,
David Beswick and
Greg Bridges lost by
10.
John Duncan, Chris
Osborn, Laurie Ward
and Ray Preston rallied late for a 3-shot
win.
Despite the loss,
division 5 holds on to
third place overall.

Australia Day
starts early
National Australia Day Council CEO Jeremy
Lasek wants people to start Australia Day by
celebrating at work in the week leading up to
the Australia Day holiday.
Workplaces are an ideal reflection of the
diversity of Australia and a great place to
appreciate what we all have in common,
Mr Lasek said.
We all have different experiences of being
Australian where we grew up, our family
histories, our cultures, if we chose to become
Australian and why.
Its a great opportunity to find out more
about your work colleagues and share what
youre all proud of.
He suggested morning tea, a barbecue or
special event between January 20 and 26.
You could host an Australian themed trivia
game, play some cricket or even dress up as
great Australians, he said.
To ensure your Australia Day at Work event
is part of the official Australia Day celebrations, remember to take a photo and post it
on Twitter using #australiaday so everyone
can see how you mark the occasion.

An intimate way to
experience theatre
SARAH McNEILL

There was a time when

James Berlyn: a master storyteller and a divine human being.

James Berlyn believed that


if he couldnt dance, life
wasnt worth living.
Then James realised that
he didnt think in terms of
movement the way writers
build their lives around
imagined dialogue and
artists think in colour and
texture.
So if he wasnt a dancer
and he couldnt dance, who
was he?
He doesnt see himself as
an actor, and yet his small,
intimate performances are
always filled with heart and
humour. He doesnt think
like a dancer and yet he
always wants movement
in his works, and he loves
participatory theatre,
but he doesnt want an
audience to feel obliged
to take part. He doesnt
believe in the suspension of
disbelief but does believe
in work that has a sense of
urgency.
He is honest, often
funny, sometimes poignant,
always thoughtful and
thought-provoking. His

work celebrates intimate


relationships between
audience and performer,
inviting more from an
audience than passive
observation.
He was the instigator
and co-founder of the
Proximity Festival,
designed for just such
experiences between
a performer and one
audience member.
He was one of the first
local performers PIAFs
new artistic director
Wendy Martin met when
she arrived in Perth. When
she saw his work-inprogress, I Know Youre
There, she immediately
invited him to be a part of
the festival.
She said: James is a
master storyteller and
a divine human being.
I found the beauty and
honesty of his performance
incredibly moving.
In his self-devised
work, James explores
three generations of his
family his grandfather,
who committed suicide
during World War II; his
father, an Admiral in the

Australian navy who had


grown up without a father,
and James, the son of a
naval officer who was gay,
six foot five and wanted to
be a ballerina!
For the festival
performance,16 people are
invited to sit around a table
to be part of a story, dance
and conversation.
I built the stories
around a handful of
questions, James said.
What is a son, a father, a
grandfather? What is an
artist and what is a story?
Though he deals with
his grandfathers suicide
and his own thoughts of
suicide, as well as coping
with a recent diagnosis of
Menieres disease, which
causes bouts of nauseainducing vertigo, James is
resilient, charming, upbeat
and entertaining.
Good work leaves
you with an emotional
showbag, he said.
I Know Youre There

performs for PIAF at


the State Theatre Centre
from February 19 to
March 6.

Straight from nature


Last year, Mosman Park
scientific illustrator Martin
Thompson left his full-time
job to re-launch his career
as an artist.
His first exhibition
was A Natural Selection,
at Gallows Gallery in
Mosman Park.
This month, he is
following up with his
second exhibition of
works inspired by nature
and calling it A Natural
Collection.

English-born Martin
is an artist in the Gould
tradition and said he had
developed a keen interest

in natural history and the


environment as a child
roaming the English
countryside and then
living in Hong Kong and
Malaysia.
In Perth, he worked
at the University of WA
doing scientific drawings,
at the WA Museum
building dinosaurs and at
Notre Dame University
managing the science
laboratories.
He illustrated the
Handbook of Birds of WA,

field guides of birds and


fish and his work has been
on the cover of Landscope
magazine.
A Natural Collection
is another years worth
of minutely detailed and
finely wrought studies of
birds, plants, flowers and
landscapes as well as still
life paintings at Gallows
Gallery in Glyde Street.
It opens at 6pm this
Saturday, January 16,
on continues daily until
January 21.

Scientific illustrator and artist Martin Thompson paints in


the Gould tradition.

Seedy hotel inspires


surreal characters

It was dying, old and


disgusting, and I had to
check the mattress for
uninvited guests

In the middle of Chicago


stood the old, crumbling
Tokyo Hotel.
Behind its faded art deco
facade were empty dining
rooms, floors of empty
bedrooms and a roof top
garden that no one knew
was there. That was until
Ben Russell decided to
stay a couple of nights.
Ben (31), a Perth
comedian, was living
and working in Chicago,
Americas comedy capital,
and every day he passed
the old hotel and wondered
about it.
One night he decided
to stay: It was dying, old
and disgusting, and I had
to check the mattress for
uninvited guests, Ben
said.
But if the experience
spawned a few bed bugs it
also inspired a new awardwinning solo comedy
show, The Tokyo Hotel.
It may be rickety, surreal
and full of unhinged staff
and weird guests, but
critics at the Melbourne
and Sydney Comedy
Festival and Edinburgh

Ben Russell has found his comedy voice and its surreal.

the famous Second City


improvisational theatre.
Ben said he had found
his comedy voice in
Chicago and it is a
bizarre and surreal voice.
As well as training and
performing for the past
five years at Second City,
he has had regular standup gigs around the world,
including a prized support
slot with American
comedian Martin Short.
The Tokyo Hotel became
the ideal platform to
showcase his quick-witted
improvisational skills

Festival Fringe all declared


it the place to stay.
Ben started his career in
Perth, and a summer trip
home to Subiaco means he
can bring his new show to
Fringe World.
His first professional
show in Perth was in
up-and-coming young
director Matthew Luttons
The Visit. The Blue
Room and Lazy Susans
Comedy Den were his
stamping ground until he
used his Texan parents
duel citizenship to get
to Chicago to study at

and his love of creating


characters and voices.
Each turn in the hotel
reveals one of Bens
oddball characters in
a framework that Ben
described as a fever
dream.
After Bens unexpected
success at the Melbourne
festival, a comedian
suggested he go to
Edinburgh. It was too
late for applications, but
someone made a call,
there had been a drop-out
and Ben suddenly found
himself with a full run in
the festival and just three
days to confirm it all.
He was nominated for
Edinburghs Golden Gibbo
comedy award and critics
described the show as an
experience, a mood, a state
of mind.
The Tokyo Hotel is
part of Blue Rooms longrunning Summer Nights
program for Fringe World.
It is on from January 23
to 25 and January 27 to 30
at 9.30pm. Book through
fringeworld.com.au.

Ben debuts in Hitchcock-style thriller


There are plenty of
Fringe World veterans
returning to Perth for the
festival, but 16-year-old
Benjamin Pentony, of
Claremont, is making his
stage debut with an eye to
a career on stage.
Benjamin is already a
talented flute player and
has performed with the
WA Youth Orchestra, but
the art of acting has helped
him in unexpected ways.
Benjamin has Aspergers,
an autism spectrum disorder, and drama and role
playing have helped to

adaptation of the suspense
thriller Rope, written by
Patrick Hamilton in 1929
and immortalised on the

Ask
Ellie
Welcome to TimeOuts
new columnist Ellie. Ellie
has a masters degree
in sociology, has been a
case worker with foster
children and worked as
a journalist and editor for
25 years. She is happily
married with two adult
children and three adult
stepchildren.

My husband
and I separated
a month after
our wedding
last year. Wed
regularly expressed our
deep mutual love, but
during our engagement,
we experienced work
stress, family illnesses
and drama.
We sought individual
counselling and saw a
relationship counsellor
together, which revealed
in-depth details of my
husbands childhood.
His family history
is riddled with abuse,
betrayal, mental illness,
and divorce.
He feels he has to be
the caregiver for his
whole family and please
everyone to maintain
equilibrium, even at the
expense of our happiness.
Unfortunately, I didnt
understand this.
Our final argument was
explosive on my part, but
never violent, yet I was
asked to leave the marital
home we shared with my
mother-in-law.
For six months, I
tried to communicate
my willingness to work
things out while also
giving my husband space.
Suddenly, he pressured
me to sign a separation
agreement. He became
hostile, angry, verbally
hurtful, then stopped
communicating.

I tried to reached out


to his friends and family
members, and was either
yelled at, blamed, or
ignored.
Its been a year since
we separated and I still
have not given up on him.
I didnt understand
the terrible cycle of
betrayal, mental illness
and divorce while I was
in it, but completely get
it now. How do I reach
him?

He has to be
the one to reach
you. Currently, its easier
for him to blame all that
went wrong on you. As
you describe things, its
how this family carries
on without changing any
dysfunctional behaviour.
He has to recognise
that this keeps him from
the kind of love he once
felt for you and from
creating his own, different
story.
You cant return to that
toxic scene unless he breaks
away completely. And that
may not be possible.
When a toxic family
rules, the adult child must
break away to save the
marriage.
Meanwhile, move on.
Be open to new dating
possibilities and eventually
a new, healthy relationship.

Divalicious, are back for


Fringe World, but this time
the Fringe winners present Mozarts short comic
opera, The Impresario.
Divalicious sopranos
Fiona Cooper Smyth and
Penny Shaw have had successful seasons of Duelling
Divas and performed their
show Opera Rocks at
Sydney Opera House.
But Fiona said that while
they had been busy with
other shows, Mozarts The
Impresario was an opera
they had talked about
doing for a couple of years.
In the opera, the original
duelling diva story, two
sopranos must battle it out
to see who is the real prima
donna.
Mozart was in a battle of
wills of his own when he
composed the hour-long
opera as part of a competition Emperor Joseph II
created to pit the young
composer against his older
rival, Antonio Salieri.

Duelling divas Fiona Cooper Smyth and Penny Shaw hit


the highs of Mozart.

Written in 1786, the


operetta is still surprisingly relevant. Penny and
Fiona have brought it up to
date, keeping to the original storyline of a theatre
director who is looking for
new actors but who, like
everyone else working in
the theatre business, has
money troubles.
In their updated version,
the impresario director
(Igor Sas) and his faithful singing assistant Mr
Bluff (baritone Robert
Hofmann) struggle to put

art on a business basis. The


director wants to retire to
Margaret River and run
a winery, but is obliged
to stay and watch generous benefactor, mining
magnate Mr Angel (Ian
Toyne), insist on the dangerous strategy of engaging two rival sopranos,
Dame Gwendolyn Goldie
Goldentrill (Fiona) and
Svetlana Silvie Silverpeal
(Penny), winner of
Slovenias Got Talent.
Fiona said: It is amazing
to see that Mozart dealt

with the same issues of arts


funding, sponsorship issues
and of rival performers.
It is a challenging piece
because it is vocally very
demanding. My character,
Goldie, has to reach top F,
said the Nedlands soprano
who has been training with
Gregory Yurisich to build
up the dexterity and confidence for her high trills.
Its like being an athlete,
you just have to keep training, Fiona said.
WA Opera is supporting
the show. Fiona said: We
are delighted that [artistic
director], Brad Cohen, and
[general manager] Carolyn
Chard are supporting this
production in various ways
as we take opera to new
audiences.
DivaLicious will

The GFC turns into


a crime thriller
The Big Short
(M)

REVIEW: PIER LEACH

When Michael Lewis


was writing his best-selling
deconstruction of the 2008
global financial crisis in 2010,
he reckoned the last thing on
his mind was how The Big
Short would be translated to
the big screen.
He never thought anyone
could make the scandalous

watchable. It is dry and
ridiculously complicated.
But in the unlikely hands
of director Adam McKay
(Anchorman), who adapted
Lewiss book with Charles
Randolph, the film is
compulsive viewing and is
pitched as much at audiences
who can barely balance a
cheque book as at those who
bee-lined to the book.
It helps that McKay has
assembled a top cast for the job
including Christian Bale as the
eccentric genius who is the first
to bet against the US housing
market, Brad Pitt as a retired
former banking high flyer, and a
superb Steve Carell as a hedgefund manager who realises the
scale of fraud will make the
entire economy collapse.
But its also that he stages it
like a crime thriller, focusing on
the few players who clued into
the barometer of the impending
storm well before either the

banks or the regulation-lax


government.
To break down its density,
the story is narrated by a
slick Wall Street wolf (Ryan
Gosling), who occasionally talks
directly to camera. And when
curly concepts crop up like
credit default swaps, subprime
mortgages and collateralised
debt obligations he throws
to the likes of Margot Robbie,
Selena Gomez and celeb chef
Anthony Bourdain for amusing
mini-tutorials.
Sure, its a gimmick, but
it works a treat. Unlike the
excellent but thunderously
depressing film 99 Homes,
which dramatised the GFCs
sickening effect on the lives of

Christian Bale as eccentric genius Michael Burry, the first hedge


fund manager to see where the economy was headed and turn it to his
financial advantage.

The Big Short cuts through to

punishment.

If Karin Page wins this weekends


Star Maker Award she will have
achieved all her New Years
resolutions in one hit.
The Wembley Downs singersongwriter is in Tamworth, where
10 emerging country music artists
have made it to the finals of the Star
Maker competition.
To make it to the finals is an
amazing opportunity, especially
for a WA artist, because being in
Tamworth for the country music
festival as a competitor and not just
another muso makes a huge difference, Karin said.
But to win would achieve all the
goals Ive set for myself.
The Star Maker semi-final will
at the Tamworth Town Hall on
Sunday, January 17.
From there, three grand finalists
will be selected to take part in festival events through the week and
then compete in the grand final on
Friday, January 22.
The prize package includes a new
Toyota (sponsors of the event) and
guaranteed performances at major
festivals and events throughout
Australia.
Star Maker has been a stepping
stone for country stars Lee
Kernaghan, Keith Urban, Beccy
Cole, James Blundell and
Darren Coggan.
Karin went to Perth
Modern School on a music
scholarship and then went
on to study contemporary
music at the WA Academy
of Performing Arts, where
she found her country voice.
I was always writing
stories and before I knew
it, my storytelling style just
came out in country/folk/
blues lyrics, she said.
She recorded and
released her first EP just
after graduating, and her
single, Jump, was nominated for WAM song of
the year and added to the
Fairbridge Music Festival
compilation CD.
Another single, She Dont
Need to Know, described as

equal parts heartfelt folk and catchy


country pop, made it through to
the semi-finals of the International
Songwriting Competition.
In 2013, she was a finalist in the
Road to Discovery Competition,
was named Best New Talent at
the Boyup Brook Country Music
Festival, and won Fremantle Song
of the Year.
Over the past two years, she and
her partner and guitarist Adam
Nyeholt have taken to the road in a
caravan and paid their way around
Australia with gigs and busking.

What the critics are saying
Carol (M)

At once ardent and analytical, cerebral


and swooning, Carol is a study in
human magnetism, in the physics and
optics of eros. With sparse dialogue
and restrained drama, the film is a
symphony of angles and glances, of
colours and shadows, says the NY
Times. Rolling Stone agrees: (Todd)
Haynes commitment to outcasts makes
Carol a romantic spellbinder that cuts
deep. Its one of the years very best
films. Blanchett and Mara should have
Oscar calling ...

Point Break (M)

Sisters (MA15+)

It takes a very special director to make


scenes of sky-diving, free climbing, bigwave surfing and BASE jumping something to yawn at. Yet Ericson Core must
be that kind of miracle worker, because
Point Break, his update of the 1991
cult classic, is basically a cavalcade of
extreme sports, but with less drama than
a highlight reel, says the Washington
Post. The AV Club agrees: The new
Point Break drops the originals Zen-like
balance of macho mysticism and camp
in favour of dour humourlessness.
Its silly and poignant and funny a
cracking crowdpleaser, also featuring
some repertory players from Feys TV
gem 30 Rock, written by SNL regular
Paula Pell and directed by Jason Moore,
who gave us Pitch Perfect, says The
Guardian. The Washington Post agrees:
It takes superior artistry to take the
rude, crude and socially unmentionable
and make it feel upliftingly wholesome.
Such is the magic of Tina Fey and Amy
Poehler ...

eturning home from a


Christmas holiday can
be bittersweet.
But if you buy this house
with a gym, sauna, pool and
two kitchens, you could
holiday at home.
On a 1075sq.m block, the
three-storey Dalkeith home
was built two years ago.
And selling agent
Gordon Davies, of
Anderson Davies Real
Estate, said it reflected
quality and attention to
detail rarely seen in homes
today.
Its a reflection of the
owners personalities, Mr
Davies said.
It is classy and sensible
without being overdone.
Hamptons-style architecture inspired the design, with five bedrooms,
four bathrooms and big
wraparound balconies on
two floors.
A curved staircase
makes a grand statement in
the entry, which is flanked
by a formal dining room
and living area.
Elegant features of the
formal rooms are chandeliers, coffered ceilings and
white plantation shutters.
For more casual entertaining, head to the open-

plan living area, where
French oak floorboards
add an elegant yet practical touch.
With the bifolds open it
feels as though you could
leap straight from the living area into the pool.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor,
including a supersized
main bedroom with its own
living area and access to
the balcony.
On the basement level,

there is room for four or


five cars in an undercroft
garage.
Among the many extras
are a cellar and tasting
room, built-in barbecue
and a dumb waiter that
could be converted to a lift.

Nor would the previous

But, armed with a keen
eye for design and a penchant for all that is big, bold

Hugh Hefners notorious Playboy


Mansion is set to hit the market for
$200million in the coming month,
but heres the catch: the Hef is part
and parcel with the deal. Playboy
spokesman John Vlautin told
Associated Press the 89-year-old
magazine founder would continue
to work and live in the home as a
condition of the sale, and negotiations
between the seller and buyer would
determine whether or not he would
pay rent. Mr Hefner bought the
1920s Tudor-style mansion for
$1million in 1971 from chess master
and inventor Louis D. Statham. As
well as the infamous grotto pool,
where many a risqu party has been
held, the home has a theatre room,
wine cellar, tennis court and roaming
peacocks.

and just one of the 13 lots is still
up for grabs. Selling agent Frank
Torre, of House Real Estate, said the
former Cottesloe works depot site
in Nailsworth Street had attracted
a lot of attention from buyers. Its
an exciting enclave in a premium
beachside suburb, he said. Weve
had many local buyers and a
couple of expats who want to live in
Cottesloe when they eventually move
back to WA. The lots range in size
from 424sq.m to 656sq.m, with the
last remaining property, a 554sq.m
block, priced from $1,575,000.
Selling agent Bev Heymans, of Acton

Is cash really King when it comes to buying property?


Many in the real estate
industry firmly cling to the
belief that cash is still King
when it comes to buying real
estate.
Industry experts will tell you
that cash talks when it comes
to sealing a deal and it is
true there are a number of
advantages to going in with
a cash offer. However its not
necessarily all smooth sailing
when you opt to go in with
cash when buying a home.
Award-winning property
consultant Michelle Kerr says,
Cash always talks but the
price offer talks louder.
Most sellers will be focused
on the price being offered
first and foremost, Ms Kerr
said.
Sellers do find the prospect
of a cash offer appealing, but
not at the expense of the final
selling price.
Ms Kerr said buyers often
assume they will get a
sizeable discount for a cash
offer, however they can end
up disappointed if its used
as a tactic on a home that is
highly sought after.

She cautioned that rather


than dealing with a plethora
of cash buyers, the vast
majority were those who had
gone in prepared and had a
high level of pre-approved
financial backing.
She also cautioned
prospective buyers about
being aware of the conditions
surrounding a cash offer.
Its important to be
aware that a cash offer is
unconditional and that you
are now legally bound to
proceed to settlement or risk
being sued for the full sale
price, less your deposit if you
choose not to proceed, Ms
Kerr warned.
Ms Kerr said although it could
be seen as the best option for
both buyer and seller, cash
offers did not come without
their complications.
She said buyers looking
to secure finance to make
a cash offer needed to be
aware that the bank may still
require a valuation on the
property you are hoping to
buy.
The seller is not obliged by

law to allow the valuer access


to the property, she said.

buyers look to prey on sellers


desperation.

In most case sellers are


happy to oblige, however you
cant guarantee that they will
and there is no way you can
force them, which in most
cases means no valuation
and therefore no loan
approval.

Even though the market


has softened in the last 12
months, we are certainly not
in that type of market at the
moment.

Ms Kerr said with record low


interest rates, many with
the means at their disposal
are choosing not to let
their money just sit in the
bank attracting bank fees.
These same people found
themselves at the mercy of
stock market volatility, so
instead, they are putting their
money into bricks and mortar.

Good quality homes will


always be in fashion and
will always be highly sought
after.

Property Consultant

However, she added lower


rental yields were having
an impact on investors
looking for the highest
returns on their money and
she cautioned that they
should focus on a long-term
objective, rather than getting
caught up in the daily ups
and downs of the market.

From page 1
Christmas after 12 years in business.
Another womens clothing store
in Forrest Walk, Woah Gypsy, is
having a closing-down sale.
Mr Burnett said shopkeepers
were going through some tough
times and big changes.
Unfortunately, its the world of
retail, he said. Its not Rokeby
Road, its everywhere, and the face
of retail is changing.
Twenty years ago it was mum
and dad shoe shops, dress shops
and mens shops. Now theyve
gone and the doctors surgeries
and accountants staff have filled
that space.
But theyre starting to disappear
now because people are going online to do their tax and all that sort
of stuff, so its a different world.
I dont know what the answer
is in some of these spaces, but the
shops might be the wrong shape
or size for some people. But well

look at how we can fill that space.


According to the website of
Hawaiian, the owners of Claremont
Quarter, it has eight shop and kiosk
spaces for lease.
Meanwhile, Mr Burnett said he
would be following up on a council
resolution from late last year to
investigate using a professional
scout to find and encourage new
businesses into Subiaco.
The City of Fremantle has something along those lines, he said.
They have a very high vacancy
rate of about 20% and a strategy in
place to attract higher-end tenants.
Were having a look at what
they are doing and well have a
look at the companies out there
that can assist property owners
in identifying suitable tenants.
Mr Burnett also said Subiaco
had some competitive advantages over other areas and that
he wanted to work with property
owners and look at tackling empty
office space.

Austin Robertsons sporting

Is the drug scandal behind us? Not bloody likely


At last the shame that is the
Essendon drug scandal is at an
end or is it?
After more than 1000 days of
black times at the Essendon
Football Club, 34 players and
the AFL have arrived at the
blackest of days.
Now stand by for the anger.
Retribution. Legal opinions.
And dare say I say it, more
court cases.
I have no idea who is going
to sue whom in all of this, but
I have no doubt that some disgruntled footballers will want
their day in court.
I would.
It seems that over the past
three years, all the architects of
the drama have vanished from
the scene.
Former coach James Hird
has served his time, had an
extended paid holiday in Paris
and come home, and has since
been replaced so the club could
have a fresh start.
Stephen Dank, the chemist
whose potions of substances
were injected into the stomachs
of these footballers has also disappeared; in fact, he was never
really visible.
Bruce Reid, the club doctor, is
still there, and he is being asked
again for more opinions, but
almost every other high-ranking
Essendon official has departed.

James Hird

Stephen Dank

David Zaharakis

Then theres Andrew


Demetriou and what knowledge,
if any, he had of this supplement
scandal.
So all we have left really is
a pocket full of rainbows, and
theres never any gold at the
bottom of those.
In the end it was clear that the
Court of Arbitration in Sport
(CAS), was not particularly
impressed with the players
defence.
Ignorance is not a defence
was just the start of the prosecutions argument against them.
The case of David Zaharakis

is instructive. He didnt like


needles and that was enough
to get him off the hook.
I dont like them either, and
if somebody wanted to inject
something into my stomach every
Tuesday afternoon, I would have
been asking: What is this stuff?
And I dont think Sign this
waiver and itll be okay, son
would have been the answer I
was after.
Having said that, just who in
the ranks would really have
queried Hirds edict?
Such was his standing at
Essendon I doubt any of the

players had second thoughts.


Hell, picture that situation in
the army: say no to the top brass
and you would end up being
court martialled.
Players who refused the injections were likely to have found
themselves teetering on the edge
of a very slippery slide into the
football wasteland.
There are so many questions
in this sorry mess still to be
answered.
This momentous decision
also has caused a few personal
Armageddons it will certainly
end some careers.

Twelve months out of football


will be a bridge too far for some,
particularly the older players.
Then theres the personal
hardship for Jobe Watson. I
think his Brownlow Medal is
gone, and Im sure Jobe can see
the writing on the wall.
If they had their time over,
Im sure all of them would be
taking the Zaharakis line that
they had an aversion to needles.
The players have now been
labelled cheats, and while they
may be gullible cheats, they are
cheats nevertheless.
Its difficult for me to agree
with that stance.
Maybe the World Anti-Doping
Agency (WADA) and CAS rule
book need to pay more heed
to the coercive forces within
a team sport, where refusing
the edicts of the coaches and
management essentially your
employers has much different
consequences from those of an
individual athlete who is employing his or her support team.
If a player in a team sport
refuses to have an unknown
substance, or even a known
banned substance, injected or
ingested, it could be the end of
his career, his lifelong dream,
as quick as you can say bye
bye Hirdy.
Surely that must count in
mitigation?

Do we need
Fast 4 tennis?

Every sport seems to be taking a peek over the back fence


and adopting the attitude that
anything you can do, I can
do better.

Understandably in awe of
the success of the T20 cricket
phenomenon, if the tennis
authorities arent thinking it,
theyre hoping it.
Tennis Australia has released
Fast 4 Tennis, a new, exciting,
supercharged version of the
game.
Like its T20 cricket cousin,
the rules are much the same as
regular tennis, save a couple of
novelty variations.
And as with cricket, its less
about the result, and loads more
about fun, fun, and more fun.
The fun ran unchecked when
local hero Lleyton Hewitt took
on Spanish heartthrob Rafael
Nadal in a Fast 4 match.
There was none of this monotonous deuce, advantage server,
deuce, advantage server stuff
that can have such a detrimental psychological effect both
courtside and on TV viewers,
as well as throwing schedules
out of kilter.
The mind plays havoc and
delusions set in by the fifth set
when the score reaches 16-all.
But with Fast 4, the first player
to win four points wins the game.
As with T20, tennis administrators have guaranteed crowd
involvement and its wondrous
to behold.
The punters have been provided no doubt free of charge
with tennis ball-shaped batons
matching the colours of the competing players, and are encouraged to wave them vigorously to
show support for their man on
the occasion of line disputes.
Now I admit that I only
switched to Channel Seven
during a couple of ad breaks (in
the James Garner cowboy flick I
was watching) and I could have
easily spotted a few more purlers in the revolutionary move to
bring tennis into the fast lane.

However, as luck would have


it, during the second ad break,
centre court was a sight for sore
eyes: a doubles match pitting
Rafa and Gael Monfils against
our ancient gladiator Lleyton
Hewitt and Mr Bad Example,
Nick Kyrgios.
Nick appeared to have had
a personality transplant, and
could have been playing a leading role in a Disney movie, or
even the Messiah in the Life
of Brian.
He was smiling all the while,
laughing when he lost a point,
joking with his coach and showing the crowd just what a saltof-the-earth young Australian
he really is (just badly misunderstood).
After watching, albeit briefly, this spectacle of Speedy
Gonzales tennis, it did occur to
me that thousands of youngsters
could easily love it passionately.
After all, its only a game.
But the $64,000 question is
whether this sort of pantomime
game will take off as it has for
cricket.
Well, it might, but I dont
think so.
The Fast 4 fairy-floss is not
really about anything more
than a few laughs. Too much of
it, and fans will be rushing for
the Mylanta.
But I must admit I felt the
champagne bubbles playing
pinball in my head and the
sound of Dean Martins Thats
Amore ringing in my ears as I
watched this diversion.
Lets have more Fast 4 Tennis,
more of Novak Djokovics impersonations; and lets give the
public what they want: more
outrageous out-of-character
performances from the players, more loud music, some
fireworks, and the PA booming
out to the masses Dayo, Dayo,
Dayo.
Oh, and by the way, those
damned Apaches wiped out the
Garner mob just in time for me
to maximise my beauty sleep.

Mr Bad Example, Nick Kyrgios, and the ancient gladiator Lleyton Hewitt teamed up for some tennis fun.

Westy Gilbert: mentor and champion bloke


Westy Gilbert was a Subiaco
footballer who wore his heart
on his sleeve but played football with a cold-eyed calculation.
Westys nickname wasnt Gutz
because he knew how to tread
carefully through a petunia
patch: he was as tough as steel
with the courage of a lion and a
heart as soft as a marshmallow.
He and I shared a very special
bond.
Unbeknown to most, Westy
Gilbert was my goal kicking
coach.
Now, there may not be many
people still living who could
remember seeing Westy play,
but if there were, they would tell
you he was not the most attractive left-foot hacker imaginable.
Im not sure how many goals
he kicked in his 119 games for
the club, but it wouldnt have
been many.
Yet he was the one I sought
out for help when I was out of
sorts with my drop punt.
In Rosalie Park on any Monday
and Wednesday (non-training
days in that halcyon era), Westy

and I would work on my kicking


for hours.
They were special times.
I knew what to do physically,
of course, because Id learnt the
method of kicking drop punts
from a master-craftsman, the
great Neil Hawke, and it never
left me.
But top-level football can also
be a mind game.
At times, I was a long way off
with my mental approach, and
Westy was my goal-kicking psychologist, as well as my mentor.
You may wonder why the hell
Im writing all these years later
about a man who was a warden
at Fremantle Prison, a Subiaco
life member and the guy who
started the Subiaco Old Players
Association?
Well, this week I had a phone
call from former Subi mayor
Tony Costa, another Subiaco
Football Club tragic.
Now, Tony is a character, no
doubt. Among many things, he
sings better than the average
budgie and hed be quite at
home in a gondola sliding down
the canals of Venice, entertain-

ing music-loving tourists visiting


that great Italian city.
Yep, Tony quipped, I was
nicknamed fiver as I was really
only half a tenor! Boom, boom!
Tony told me that every week,
he sent my column off to Dr
Paul Rodan (a man who does
his bit for political science
these days), another Subiaco
Football Club tragic who now
lives in Melbourne.
Two weeks ago, in a piece
about AFL football moving from
Subiaco Oval to Burswood, I
mentioned that the goal square
at the Austin Robertson end of
the ground was a sacred site to
the Subiaco club and its fans.
Two Subi stalwarts were buried there, I wrote. One was star
rover Don Carter, and the other,
goal umpire Len Beresford.
Well, according to Tonys mate
Paul, Westy Gilberts ashes are
buried there as well.
Fancy that.
In my column, I also suggested
digging up the goal square at
Subiaco Oval, preserving it and
transferring it to Burswood.
Are you listening, Colin?

Charlie (7), from Nedlands, is
one of our major Doodlebug winners
this week.
The colours he has used are amazing and the squared off sun and cloud
are great ideas.
Scarlett Liston (9), from Subiaco,
is the other big Doodlebug winner.
Whats not to love about those
cute penguins? They are all looking
particularly dapper in their various
bow ties and vests. Even the newly
hatched!
Im always amazed at the clever
ideas you all come up with.

looked very exciting.
Lydias giraffe was enjoying a
beach sunset while Qianas robot
