A dispute within Cambridge council over the election of councillor Gary Mack has cost ratepayers $51,000 in legal bills.

The fi gure was revealed at a council meeting on Tuesday when Mr Mack asked how much had been spent on an aborted court challenge to his October 2021 election.

Councillor Alaine Haddon-Casey challenged the election result because Mr Mack failed to include an authorising address on campaign fl yers.

Mr Mack was elected to the Wembley ward, but lives in City Beach.

Mayor Keri Shannon, an ally of Ms Haddon-Casey, had unsuccessfully moved a motion to use ratepayer funds to pay Ms Haddon-Casey’s legal bills.

She later succeeded in per-suading the council to vote to appoint a council-paid barrister, Tim Russell, to represent the council as an intervening third party in the court dispute.

Ms Haddon-Casey dropped the case on August 11 after magistrate Trevor Darge re-fused to issue subpoenas to WA Electoral Commission execu-tives (POST August 20).

Election spat costs $51K

A new cycle path from Stirling Highway to the Ocean Beach Hotel will be built in spite of protests by more than 30 angry Eric Street residents who crowded the small Cottesloe council chamber this week.

“The design of this path sucks,” resident Tom Jowett said before the vote, echoing the sen-timents of 154 fellow residents of the street who signed a petition against the plan.

“There’s a lot of upset people here.”

The council voted in secret on Tuesday to accept a tender to build the path costing more than $705,000, funded by State, Federal and council money.

Mr Jowett and fellow residents had asked that a decision on the

tender be deferred until a safety audit was complete.

“My understanding is that I have been misled with respect to the existence of a safety audit for this project,” he said.

“I’ve spent multiple days at-

tempting to fi nd one. And in the end had to fund one, which is bizarre – this is the wealthiest suburb in Perth.”

The independent engineer-ing audit has cast doubt on the safety of some aspects of the design.

Mr Jowett said council notes show the design is 85% complete. But he had phoned the engineer commissioned by the council, who said his work was fi nished.

“If we have to build a path, do it well, let people know, make it actually look good, make it safe,” Mr Jowett said.

Mayor Lorraine Young told the meeting it was a compliant de-sign that met all the regulations and standards for cycleways.

This was a requirement of government funding.

Ms Young said the vote to ap-prove the tender was 7-1.

It came with conditions, in-cluding a review of the residents’ engineering audit with the help

Horrifi ed weekend walkers in Shenton Park desperately tried to rescue four cygnets being sucked down a drain at Lake Jualbup.

The baby swans fell victim to gushing water from heavy downpours that swelled the lake to higher than usual levels a few weeks ago.

Stephen Mailey, author of “Boys of the Lake” a personal memoir about Jualbup, raised the alarm about the missing ba-bies last week (Did a fox snatch cygnets?, POST, August 30).

A number of readers con-tacted the POST, including groups of walkers who saw the episode unfold and even tried to help, but were beaten back by the cygnets’ parents.

Bob and friend Brendan were taking their daily stroll around the lake when they realised there was a problem.

Two adult black swans were agitated at a section along the north western end of the lake.

“I saw three of their cygnets had been washed into the drain and we could see them being pushed up and down in the water,” Bob said.

“But after about 10 minutes

they became exhausted and disappeared down the drain.”

The two friends had tried to lift the metal grate over the drain but it was bolted down.

They also tried to frighten the remaining swans away from that area.

“The father was very agitated and aggressive,” he said.

“He made himself even bigger and came towards us hissing. It was being protec-tive, it thought we would hurt the babies.”

On their first lap around the Lake Nedlands man Ray

Bradshaw’s wife commented: “I hope they don’t get too close to the drain”.

“We saw them on our second lap,” Mr Bradshaw said.

“They were in the drain and two of them were still strug-gling.”

“I thought if I could reach in I might be able to scoop one and get it back but as soon as I got near the adult swan at-tacked me.”

He said the cygnets would

Battling for

underground

powerThank you, POST, for last

week’s report about the City of Nedlands rates freeze, and for Ben Hodsdon’s letter (Why I voted), regarding the need for underground power.

I’m writing from the small area of Floreat which is still served by overhead power lines.

From 4am on Tuesday August 2 to 1pm on Wednesday August 3 we froze in a power blackout.

During the “once in a hundred years” storm, while the rest of the City of Nedlands residents cosied up to their electric heat-ers or aircons to watch a movie with a hot meal and cup of coffee, 68 Floreat families and businesses were left to freeze.

And why was there a black-out? No surprises there – it was all down to a street tree falling on power lines.

No surprise also that, as a result, offi cials organised work-ers to rush out and urgently cut back overgrown street trees in Kirwan Street, Floreat, later on Tuesday.

However the horse had al-

ready bolted – tree pruning isn’t a great solution to rapid restora-tion of interrupted power.

One of my neighbours moved out to stay elsewhere, a great idea except that they left their pet behind, which was dis-tressed and howled frequently for those 33 hours.

A big thank-you for our Hollywood Ward representa-tives Ben Hodsdon and Olinka Combes for supporting us in trying, albeit unsuccessfully, to make provision of funds

for underground power in the forgotten far reaches of the City of Nedlands.

Last year the City told me underground power was at least two years away for our locality.

With the further delay re-sulting from this year’s budget decisions, it looks like a solu-tion for us is now deferred to at least 2026 – unless the City’s budget allows for weekly ticket purchases and they win Lotto.

Smell of Chellingworth towersThere seems to be consider-

able confusion between the proponents and the opponents of the Chellingworth Towers de-velopment proposal for Stirling Highway.

Lemons, pineapples, apples and oranges are all called into play.

The truth is the fruit that is most like the development is the durian, a fruit known for its pungent smell or, in common parlance, stink.

So bad is its smell that it is banned from many places.

The proposed development stinks as high at least as the 23 fl oors it will have.

The original plan and the proposed plan are too large and will do immeasurable damage to the amenity of the City of Nedlands, creating signifi cant overshadowing, traffi c problems of considerable proportions and an overbearing presence in what is meant to be, as it has always been, a quiet and desirable residential suburb.

Such is the idiocy of planning laws that local government rep-resentatives sitting on develop-ment assessment panels (DAPs) are precluded from considering or taking into account local views or submissions as to the substance of the development, but are bound to consider the matter on the basis of planning

considerations.Developer Tim Gurner speaks

of the supposedly wondrous benefi ts this monstrous building will bring (Mogul wants to revive highway, POST, August 6).

In fact, there are zero dis-cernible benefi ts that will be conferred to this suburb by these massive buildings.

We all know now that the only consideration of interest to Planning Minister Rita Saffi oti is to enforce density on reluctant western suburbs.

But where, oh where, is our local MP for Nedlands?

So keen to get in on the act about the children’s hospice, she is wholly silent on a matter which deeply adversely affects her constituents.

Unheeded lessons of an inglorious, murky pastIn our effectively one-party

State questions regarding open and accountable government, integrity in government and the role of government in commerce are often unanswered.

A photo published recently of Premier Mark McGowan dining with members of the WA business elite brought to mind WA Inc and the “Four on the Floor”, which led to the Royal Commission into the Commercial Activities of Government and Other Matters (1992).

That inquiry determined that five general issues required

consideration – open govern-ment, accountability, integrity in government, ethical supervision of the public service and the role of government in commerce.

T h e C o m m i s s i o n o n Government was established in 1994 to inquire into those issues. Five reports on 24 matters for consideration were produced. Few of the many recommenda-tions were implemented.

Here we are 30 years after the original Royal Commission and it appears little if anything has been learned from that experience.

We have market-led proposals

and their associated secrecy, and development assessment panels generally favouring developers targeting A-class reserves or valuable bushland, for example the Tawarri site, the McCall Centre site or the Allen Park site for the proposed children’s hospice.

Edmund Burke in the 18th century, George Santayana in the 19th and Winston Churchill in the 20th all said, in slightly varying forms: “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.”

In response to a request from me (Killer questions still un-answered, Letters, July 30), the Town of Claremont has formally alleged that telling me the loca-tions of CCTV cameras “would compromise the effectiveness of the technology” and the Town even keeps secret the 1996/1997 camera locations.

The Town dodges Claremont serial killer-related questions by

trying to defl ect me to “police, liquor licensing and/or the au-thor of the (Stalking Claremont) book” as well as to “the State Government”.

It seems the Town is playing “Shoot the Messenger” by steer-ing me towards the author while it sits on its hands and buries its head in the sand.

Shooting the messenger?

One rendering of proposals for mixed-use towers on the Chelling-

worth site in Nedlands.

As a Crawley resident I have several concerns regarding both the proposed application for a liquor license and change to the previously-approved purpose for Forrest Hall Stage 2.

Apart from the complete lack of transparency and lack of com-munity consultation on this by billionaire proponent Andrew Forrest and the University of WA, there appears to have been no consideration given to the possible increase in traffi c in an already congested area, the

diffi culty of access to the Perth Dinghy Club or the adjacent rowing club, and the cutting-off of access to the river foreshore on what is a public reserve.

The university is on record as stating that the original purpose of this building was to further “academic research and scholarship”.

It is diffi cult to understand how a hotel would support such an endeavour.

POST, August 27, 2022 –

A man has appeared in court after allegedly punching a teen-ager in the face and demanding his bicycle and phone at Loch Street Station in Claremont.

Ricky Lee Russell, 22, was charged with aggravated robbery and assault on a public offi cer.

Police allege that on August 19 Mr Russell confronted the teenager on the station platform.

They allege that when he de-manded his bicycle and the teen-ager refused, Mr Russell punched him in the head.

The teenager handed over his bike and police say Mr Russell then demanded his phone and passcode, allegedly threatening to punch him again if he refused.

He has been remanded in custo-dy to appear again on September 2.

Punch charge lands man in court

Broadcast journalist Liam Bartlett has won a privacy fi ght with his future Nedlands neighbours, who say they were “dudded” by a compromise ar-rangement between the council and the developer.

Caught in the middle was Mr Bartlett, who was present at the council meeting to argue that the council should enforce the condi-tions it set.

At this week’s meeting, Mr Bartlett complained to councillors about press coverage of the dispute in two newspapers.

“Despite the best efforts of some of our commercial media competi-tors to paint me as a cross between Genghis Khan and [Gilligan’s Island aristocrat] Thurston Howell III, I’m actually here as a private property owner,” he said.

“It’s not about – here’s a news-fl ash – Mr Bartlett, it’s about the integrity of the process.”

Four townhouses under construc-tion on freshly rezoned blocks op-posite Mr Bartlett’s Vincent Street home were approved last year on the condition that balustrades were made of frosted glass or opaque material.

The new owners applied to scrap the condition, but councillors re-fused the request on Tuesday night – prompting an angry response from buyer Geoffrey Nathan.

“Disgraceful,” Mr Nathan said as he left the meeting.

Earlier this month, Mr Nathan told a council meeting that buy-

ers were never told about the condition before they bought their townhouses for $1.45million each.

“We were dudded,” he said.“The balustrades … will severely

reduce the natural light to the liv-ing areas.”

Councillor Andrew Mangano told Tuesday’s meeting that removing the condition would set a danger-ous precedent.

“We’re basically white-anting every condition on every other development application we do if we take this off,” he said.

“All of our decisions in the past and in the future will be up for challenge.”

Councillor Rajah Senathirajah pushed for a compromise that would allow only ground fl oor balustrades to be clear glass.

“The house over the road is 23m away,” he said.

“It’s a fair distance. You cannot look into the garden.”

Councillors rejected the com-promise in a 7-4 vote.

Mr Nathan and the other buyers can appeal to the State Administrative Tribunal.

In a phone call the day after the decision, Mr Bartlett claimed the POST report implied he was responsible for misleading the buyers.

“Your report last week, I’ve got to say, was a f**king disgrace,” he said.

Young dirt jump rid-ers were reduced to tears when they discovered their council-endorsed track at Lake Claremont had been destroyed this week.

A group of kids aged 11 to 13 had put in months of effort building jumps every weekend and after school.

When they went to meet there as usual on Tuesday, the track had been fi lled in and a notice signed by the Town of Claremont erected

asking them to go elsewhere.“We worked with the coun-

cil to build this track and they even supplied us with the dirt,” one of the boys, Charlie Burke, said.

“We were really disap-pointed they would destroy it without telling us.”

Joe O’Shannessy, who was the fi rst to come across the ruined track, said he was really upset.

“I came past, and I started crying,” he said.

“Riding is what we do most weekends, we’ll spend 10 hours a weekend here.”

The boys have written let-ters to the Town asking to meet in the hope of fi nding a solution.

They said that the morn-ing before it was fi lled in, a ranger had approached them, praised them for being responsible with the envi-ronment and asked them to sweep the footpath of stray dirt, which they did.

“We look out before we jump to make sure no one is coming down the path,” Joe said.

Charlie Barr added: “I would come down here and pick up all the rubbish, which wasn’t ours.”

The Town of Claremont notice said the track had to be removed to ensure pedes-trian safety, but the boys, who are there nearly every day, said they had not seen any incidents with walkers.

“The worst thing that hap-pened here was a kid’s bike buckled and he fell off and then got back up again,” Joe said.

A Town spokesman told the POST the track had “enlarged” in recent weeks and many complaints were received reporting “dangerous clashes occurring on and around the path.”

Crooks exploit lazy locks

Wembley police are plead-ing for people to lock up their homes and cars as burglaries rise around the western sub-urbs.

Senior Sergeant Peter Gilmour said offi cers were see-ing a lot of unlocked garages and doors, making it easier for thieves.

“The message is: lock up your stuff,” he said.

“Lock your garages, lock your doors, lock up your bikes, e-scooters, remove valuable property from cars, make sure you make it hard for people who want to commit offences.”

A person entered an un-locked back door at a home on Keightley Road West in Shenton Park on the night of August 18-19 and stole a laptop from the lounge room.

The following night, a $1200 Trek Mountain bike was stolen from an unlocked garage in

Turrif Road, Floreat.On Sunday evening a person

entered The Grove in Wembley and stole an $8000 black Trek bike FL6 from a storeroom accessible by the garage.

“There were no signs of forced entry or signs of rum-maging,” Snr Sgt Gilmour said.

O n D a v i e s R o a d i n Claremont, a person accessed a garage and tried to steal a SYM motorcycle but was unsuccessful.

Also in Claremont, two $1000 e-scooters were stolen from an unlocked garage.

Hissed off A swan featured in the

POST last week charged at Nedlands mayor Fiona Argyle on Sunday morn-ing.

Ms Argyle got too close to a pair of swans and their cygnets while recording a video at Lake Jualbup in Shenton Park, prompting one of the birds to hiss and run at her.

“Oh my gosh,” Ms Argyle said in the video.

“Alright, I get the mes-sage.”

The swans have become increasingly protective after losing four of their brood (Did a fox snatch cygnets?, POST, August 20).

Ms Argyle told her so-cial media followers there were no hard feelings.

“Lovely meeting you guys,” she said as she backed away.

Rabitting onA Shenton Park warning

sign sent a POSTie on a cinematic reverie this week.

Our (older) colleague waxed lyrical about Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which hit the big screen in 1975.

“Perhaps the greatest mo-ment of that masterpiece is the scene with the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog,

which slew Bors, Gawain, and Ector before it was dispatched with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch,” our man droned.

Of course, there is noth-ing lethal about the Shenton Park rabbits, which are the cutest things you could ever see.

And keep it closed!

Children of all shapes are welcome in Richardson Avenue, Claremont.

Signs at the junction with Stirling Highway warn drivers: “Slow down, kids around.”

Some wit has added a

homemade sign to the mix: “Slow down, our kids are ovoid.”

A resident said he was tired of Peppermint Grove-bound sports cars loudly accelerating down the street late at night.

About-round … Richardson Avenue residents want drivers to slow down.

Slow down, children around, ovoid

Eagle-eyed POST photographer Billie Fairclough spotted this Railway Road sign in Subiaco this week.

She thought the lettering – which obvi-ously has been heavily weathered over the years – looked creepy and ghoulish.

The other two signs on the same pole appear to be unblemished by the elements or any other in� uences.

Nightmare on creepy street?

When the POST met with some of the boys on Thursday morning, several people walk-ing by stopped to say they were disappointed the track had been closed.

The Town said no requests to build the track were submitted but the Parks and Environment team spoke with the boys when they noticed they were starting to use the area.

“Some simple ground rules were provided, including that they stay away from the main footpath and not dig deep holes. These rules were subse-quently ignored and broken,” a spokesman said.

The boys said they were keen to have somewhere local to meet with friends, be creative, and not be locked inside on iPads.

As word spread about the track, about 20 kids would drop by to help build it, learn new tricks or video their friends in action.

“It got popular, showing the demand,” mum Elspeth Burke said.

“At the pump tracks, if you’re not a jumper you don’t feel like you belong.

“But here, kids who couldn’t jump would get involved an-other way, digging or fi lming.”

Ms Barr and Ms Burke said that as parents they felt reas-sured their boys were doing something productive in a safe environment after school.

“It’s taught them how to problem solve, to engage with adults at the council, and to fi nd ways to keep the track going while being responsible about it,” Ms Burke said.

Criticism dismissedThe WA Local Government Association says

criticisms by Cambridge mayor Keri Shannon that an upcoming event did not have any women speakers was premature.

Councillors voted to express their disappoint-ment that four men were chosen as keynote speakers for the upcoming local government convention.

WALGA president Karen Chappell said the July pamphlet advertising the speakers was a teaser, promoting those who had already accepted.

She told the POST this week that since then, 22 speakers have confi rmed – 12 women and 10 men.

Cambridge council planning director Brett Cammell has quit, barely a month after the resignation of new CEO Karl Heiden.

Mr Cammell announced his resignation on Thursday, effec-tive October 14.

He joins a long list of execu-tives who quit or were fi red after earning the ire of mayor Keri Shannon.

At recent meetings, Ms Shannon has needled Mr Cammell about his role in preparing a report that rec-ommended approval of Christ Church Grammar School’s con-troversial plan to rezone its Mt Claremont playing fi elds for a housing development.

The report concluded that there was no encumbrance on the privately-owned land, which the school bought from Perth council in 1958.

Nearby residents had called for Mr Cammell’s resignation over the matter.

At a meeting in February, Ms Shannon did nothing to stop residents unloading their anger on Mr Cammell and his staff.

In a written question at the June council meeting, Ms Shannon asked Mr Cammell if he believed he had a confl ict of interest in drafting reasons for refusing the Christ Church rezoning request, given he had written a report recommending its approval.

“No, I do not consider I had a confl ict of interest in drafting an alternative motion,” Mr Cammell responded.

A new community social club is likely to emerge after old club stalwarts abandoned the North Fremantle Bowling Club.

But the long-awaited re-opening of the club is on hold after an impasse between two community groups vying for the privilege to run it.

Fremantle mayor Hannah Fitzhardinge used her casting vote to delay a crucial decision this week, following rival bids for the Thompson Road facil-ity, she said after the meeting.

“What got us here was a club that was not inclusive, they ef-fectively shut the community out,” she said after the vote.

“We don’t want to make any decisions that can make an-other version of that.”

The bowling club ceased trading last month, after its former committee was accused of freezing out locals.

Council staff have recom-mended a 10-year lease be awarded to North Freo Bowlo, a community group formed by local residents.

In a report, staff said the Bowlo bid had “a family friendly focus that is sensitive and complementary to the sur-rounding residential area”.

North Freo Bowlo volunteer Peter Blackall said his group had more than 150 pre-commit-ments from locals to become social members.

“We’re mums and dads who represent the community,” he said.

“We were trying to join the club for many years.

“You weren’t even able to book a kids birthday party.”

He said his group had mod-elled their bid on the wildly successful West Leederville Bowlo, which has grown from 140 members to 980 since it was taken over by a dads’ group

in 2020. But on Wednesday, council-

lors kicked the decision to a September committee meeting after impassioned pleas from members of rival group North Fremantle Social Club (NFSC).

A procession of NFSC mem-bers told Wednesday’s meet-ing they wanted to create an inclusive cultural and social space that was for the entire Fremantle community, not just North Fremantle residents.

NFSC member Harry Davies cited North Fremantle’s $1.25million median house price.

“If it’s only going to be those

folks who are able to create a facility it’s going to be by the rich, for the rich,” he said.

NFSC member Sarah Davis said the club could host future Fremantle Biennale events, and a Sunday farmers market.

“The City of Freo does not seem to need another singular use bowls club,” she said.

“The way we wish to achieve [activation] is about bridging the divide …and inviting the citizens of the City of Freo as a whole to enjoy a council asset.”

After the meeting, Ms Fitzhardinge said she hoped the two bid groups could work out their differences in time for a

meeting of the Finance, Policy, Operations and Legislation Committee on September 14 that may decide the matter.

“We had two really excellent community submissions,” she said.

“The overwhelming senti-ment was; ‘Why can’t you guys work together?’”

Whichever group wins the lease will take over a largely empty facility, after the former management committee sold off much of its assets.

North Fremantle Community Association convener Gerry MacGill said the selloff was “morally reprehensible”.

Bill Grayden has lived an eventful 102 years but it’s his few weeks on the Kokoda Campaign, 80 years ago next month, that defi nes him.

His son, Jim, recounted his father’s war stories this week at a home in Cottesloe with Mary and John Murdoch, whose father Ken also served in the 2/16th Battalion.

“It’s a funny thing, Bill’s 102 years of age and he served six years of the 102, and the Kokoda part of it was about six weeks,” Jim said.

“But it obviously had such a profound impact on these guys because even today, 80 years after the events, it almost de-fi nes him.

“He regards himself as a sol-dier, he rarely talks about his time as a politician, or as a fa-ther, or a farmer, or a mechanic.

“His psyche is very rooted in the events that took place there.”

Bill was a lieutenant with the 2/16th and platoon commander in charge of 30 soldiers in 15 Platoon, C Company when the battalion was rushed to Papua New Guinea.

He marked his 22nd birthday on the Kokoda Track.

Bill led his platoon in a bayo-net attack at Brigade Hill against entrenched Japanese soldiers so wounded AIF colleagues could be evacuated.

At one point he was standing next to his platoon sergeant, who looked up to search for Japanese soldiers and was shot through the neck, dying instantly.

Bill was wounded by a Japanese artillery shell that killed several of his fellow soldiers at Ioribaiwa on September 16, 1942, the day the battalion was relieved from duty on the Track.

It was initially reported he had been killed in the explosion, but he later walked into Battalion HQ to report.

“One thing people keep telling me about why Dad was so respected is his concern for his men,” Jim said.

“They said he never asked them to do anything unneces-sarily.

“His fi rst concern was always preserving his men.

“Even today Dad says the job of a soldier is to live to fi ght tomorrow.”

It took many decades for Bill to share the horrors he witnessed on the Track.

“He got to a point where he thought ‘I’ve got to tell my story before it’s lost’,” Jim said.

Jim has walked the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk at Kings Park many times, and completed the real thing with a group of Bill’s descendants in 2010.

“The hills in New Guinea are just spectacularly lush and beautiful,” he said.

“Then you put on top of that the horrors that these guys were facing and it’s hard to reconcile in your mind.

“It’s physically demanding enough to march up and down the hills when you have the help of guides.

“But it’s unimaginable with the loads they were carrying (roughly 40kg) under the con-ditions they were in; it was the wettest year for decades.

“And instead of having 10 or 12 people in your group they had

hundreds of people walking through, turn-ing it into mush.

“He said these young, fi t men were just collapsing at the top, throwing up.”

Jim believes about a third of C Company were kil led and wounded on the cam-paign.

Mary, John and Jim said the 2/16 Battalion AIF Association is working hard to con-tinue the legacy of the soldiers and educate

younger generations about what happened there.

To mark 80 years, Brigadier Arnold Potts will speak at the Perth Convention Centre on September 16, an army band concert will play at Government House on the 17th and there will be a wreath laying service and commemoration on the 18th at the Flame of Remembrance in Kings Park.

A beachfront sculpture in Cottesloe has been repaired.

Icarus 4, installed beside Marine Parade at the end of Grant Street, was removed last month after being climbed on and damaged (Icarus uprooted, POST, July 23).

A Cottesloe council spokeswoman said the repairs cost $2600.

“The repair cost, less the excess payable, is recoverable under the Town’s insurance policy,” she said.

The 3m-high aluminium sculpture, by George Andric, was donated to Cottesloe about six years ago by a local family to commemorate the death of a daughter.

The donors had bought it at Sculpture by the Sea in 2004.

A council report at the time of the donation said it was valued at $34,000.

In 2017 the sculpture was strengthened after it was donated.

That year councillors were told it cost $3365.22 in staff hours and material resources to install

it near the end of Grant Street, and $1529.34 to relocate another sculpture.

A risk assessment report commissioned by the council, which included an engineer’s cer-tifi cation, cost $3230 (Free Icarus costs $8000, POST, May 27, 2017).

A woman was startled to wake up to a strange man in her bedroom at a home in West Leederville on Tuesday night.

Wembley police, and the K9 unit, were called to Blencowe Street after the incident was reported.

They said a woman asleep in her bed woke up to see a man in her bedroom with their phone’s fl ashlight on.

Offi cers said she shouted at him, and he fl ed the house.

He was described as 170cm tall and wearing a dark hoodie and a face mask.

Police said an extensive patrol of the area failed to locate the intruder.

The Subiaco dog community is fi ghting for a safe space to walk their pets after Subiaco Primary School kicked them off its grounds.

A walking group of about 25 people with small dogs regularly meet at a section of the school oval after hours.

In its most recent newsletter, the school said dogs were no longer allowed and the City of Subiaco supported the ban.

“As Subiaco Primary School is not fenced, we incur acts of graf-fi ti, vandalism, and the presence of dogs on the school site,” the newsletter said.

“The increase in dogs on the school oval has caused distress to students participating in morning and afternoon education activi-ties, along with dog waste that the teachers and staff pick up daily.”

A Department of Education spokesman added: “There have been a number of incidents where dog walkers have inter-rupted school activities on the oval and become aggressive when asked to control their dog or move on from the area.

“Unrestrained dogs have cre-ated disruptions and safety issues for children at school drop-off, during morning and afternoon educational activities, and for other user groups and visitors

outside school hours.”One of the dog owners said

school parents and children regularly joined their group to walk their dogs but had dropped off in recent weeks.

“We have one family that brings their kids down just so they can play with the dogs,” they said.

They acknowledged that some dog owners, not part of the regular group, used the school grounds and did not pick up after their pets, but insisted that the usual walkers were “meticulous”.

“We keep a hawk eye on our dogs and if for some reason we miss it, someone else in the group will pick it up,” they said.

The group said at least four attempts to discuss the issue with principal Melinda Harris had been stonewalled.

“We offered to pay for gates to close off the area we used, we have suggested providing doggy bags so that people are more inclined to actually pick up after their dog, but the school will not enter a discussion,” one group member said.

They added that they recently moved to the area not knowing anyone and now they had a close group of friends because of the dog walking community.

They said there was no other safe space nearby away from busy roads or fenced in that they could walk their dogs.

Brad loved Subi’s kindness

Nedlands MP Katrina Stratton (centre) with dog Millie and a group of local dog walkers at Subiaco Primary School, who says they are no longer welcome.

Bradley Kearney, the home-less man who used to sit out-side Farmer Jacks in Subiaco and loved the kindness shown to him, was remembered at a simple memorial service this week.

About 15 locals who knew Brad attended the service on Tuesday morning at the nearby St. Andrews church in Barker Road, organised by his long-term friend Beverley.

Fr Peter Manuel who returned from leave to lead the service for the man said he “was a part of my household in a small way”.

Mr Kearney was one of three

homeless men in Subiaco to die recently.

“We are celebrating Brad, but for those of us who knew them we also remember Andy and Neil for whom there was no memorial service,” he said.

He said it was hard to be-lieve that it was only earlier this year the other two men were “chugging beers” at his granddaughter’s christening service.

Fr Peter said Brad – who took heroin – slept rough near the church but in winter “mi-grated” into the church carport and stayed there, becoming a “part of our household”.

Developers’ chats up in smoke

The Abbotsford Hospital in West Leederville has been held up as an example of what hap-pens when developers cosy up to council staff.

Mayor Keri Shannon told a meeting on Tuesday she had recently seen someone smoking meth in their car outside the fa-cility on the corner of Cambridge and Abbotsford streets.

She was speaking to a pro-posed amendment to the Town’s policy on developer contact with staff.

It requires staff to only commu-nicate in writing with developers who want to build something inconsistent with the local town planning strategy.

Councillor Gary Mack voted against the amendment, arguing it made a “bad policy a whole lot worse” and the staff should be encouraged to educate develop-ers on what the community wants.

Ms Shannon said the Town’s senior planning staff had con-tinued to have in-person meet-ings with developers despite the policy’s introduction in 2021 limiting pre-lodgement contact with developers and staff.

“One of the worst strategic planning decisions this town has ever seen is the development in West Leederville, the Abbotsford Hospital, built in a residential zone,” Ms Shannon said.

“It came to council in February 2015, it went through without any debate.

“It was dealt with in the plan-ner’s report as being the formali-sation of a non-conforming use.”

Ms Shannon said the hospital was previously two storeys and was used as a maternity hospital and then as an eating-disorders hospital.

“[The staff] didn’t look at the fi ne print, which allowed the building to go to six storeys,” she said.

“They allowed a six-storey drug and alcohol facility that now sits smack bang in the middle of our high density, residential precinct.

“I can tell you no lie, I’ve ac-tually been at a building across the road, and I saw someone smoking meth in a car.

“It has brought a range of people to this West Leedy com-munity that have never been there before.”

Ms Shannon said she request-ed documents in relation to the application and there were none.

“This is the sort of poor strate-gic planning outcome we cannot fi x for 50 years,” she said.

“This has a huge impact on every community.”

The update to the policy was carried fi ve votes to one.

Abbotsford Hospital

An eagle-eyed POST reader and quick acting local emer-gency services helped save a family of ducks from almost certain oblivion last weekend.

Driving south on Thomas Street near QEII Medical Centre last Saturday, Patsy Hodgkinson spotted eight duck-lings led by their parents trying to cross the busy road from Kings Park to Lake Kilgour on the hospital grounds, beside Aberdare Road.

“I stopped my car and put on my hazard lights but sud-denly six of the ducklings dropped out of sight into a large stormwater drain,” Ms Hodgkinson said.

“Mum and dad were con-cerned for all of about one minute but then continued their hazardous trip across Thomas Street with the remain-ing two babies to the safety of Rosalie Park.”

She could hear the ducklings chirping frantically in the drain and wasn’t sure who to call for help.

“After trying the RSPCA, I fi nally called the police hotline and in no time a patrol car with two offi cers arrived,” she said.

Not long after another police car arrived on the scene and everyone tried to fi gure out how they could rescue them.

They decided Daglish Fire Brigade were the best people

to help and they arrived shortly after they were called.

“With ladders and stepping down into the drain we man-aged to bring out all six babies, the last one proving to be a bit of an escape artist,” Ms Hodgkinson laughed.

“The police offi cers carried their precious cargo to the lake where mum and dad had arrived and the little family was reunited.”

She said everyone involved was relieved and grateful it turned out well.

Rain closes Rosalie

Rosalie Park was off limits again last week because of the impact of rain and fl ooding on the 9ha playing fi elds.

“In the interest of preserving the grounds, Subiaco Council and club management are recommending that teams do not train tonight ,” Subiaco AFC told members last Wednesday (August 17).

It was the sixth time in recent weeks the council-owned sports grounds were closed because of heavy downpours and fl ooding issues (Rain a soggy pain for local games, POST, August 20).

The Preserve East Subiaco Reserve campaign said it

understood the neighbouring councils in Nedlands and Cambridge did not have to close their outdoor sports facilities in the same period.

The group – which wants to protect Subiaco Oval against development and keep it free for sports and recreation – said numerous council reports showed “again and again Rosalie Park is over capacity and over utilised at existing population levels”.

This was before an estimated 6000 future residents in Subi East and another projected 11,000 for West Leederville and West Perth.

“Where will future kids, families and residents engage in sport?” the group asked this week.

A veterans’ blacksmithing group that were locked out of their weekly forging days have re-emerged triumphant after their story sparked an outpouring of community help.

Our Veterans Forge (OVF), founded and funded by East Timor veteran Nigel Danson, had been running on Tuesdays at Claremont Showgrounds since 2019.

They were forced out of the space last year after their relationship with the Blacksmithing Association of WA (BAWA) deteriorated (Veterans hammered out of blacksmithing group, POST, January 22).

After the POST report, they were contacted by the owner of a 2.5ha property in Orange Grove that had been earmarked as a yoga retreat.

She offered the space to OVF instead and they had their soft opening this month.

“When things happen, you’ve got to take advantage of them, whether they’re good or bad,” Mr Danson said of overcoming the issues with BAWA last year.

“We’re persistent.”Mr Danson said the veterans

had been struggling without their weekly meetups, which were important for their mental health and sense of community.

“The guys weren’t doing too well, especially at the moment with all the inquiries and all that sort of stuff,” he said.

State axes tall gum

A towering Mt Claremont gum tree was cut down on the orders of the Housing Authority this week.

Public housing tenant Verity Hobbs had fought to save the tree, which sprouted in her Zamia Road backyard in the 1990s.

“We counted the rings – there were 26,” Ms Hobbs said.

She said the tree was cut down after a neighbour expressed safety concerns to the Housing Authority.

Nedlands mayor Fiona Argyle and UWA botanist Hans Lambers had lobbied the Department of Communities to spare the tree, but to no avail.

“We desperately need to change [Housing Authority] policies so these trees are treated with the same regard as they are in eastern Australia and in Europe,” Professor Lambers said in March (State ready to chop trees, POST, March 12).

Evicted … a big gum tree was felled at a public housing property

in Mt Claremont on Wednesday.

Street shafted by track snubShifting a freight rail line

several metres could relieve the contention over a proposed bike path running alongside heritage cottages in North Fremantle.

Two architects have offered alternative designs but say Main Roads has dismissed them.

Main Roads says the second-last leg of a principal shared path (PSP) between Perth and

Fremantle must run along the east side of the tracks between North Fremantle station and the new traffi c bridge over the Swan River.

They have told residents it is the best “technical option”.

Residents of Pearse Street say consultation efforts by Main Roads have been underwhelm-ing, adding they feel they are being told what is going to hap-pen, rather than having their concerns heard.

The proposed path would in some cases abut their homes’ boundaries.

They have not seen hard-copy designs but have been told verbally that motion-triggered lights, a sound-minimising bar-rier up to 6m high and damage to heritage homes are to be expected (Cycleway intrusion ‘beyond words’, POST, August 7).

Architects Murray Slavin and Stuart Neal say the proposed path is not a shared path, but

is instead a poorly-thought-out veloway.

“They can’t expect kids on bikes and parents with prams to use this alongside cyclists going 40km/h,” Mr Slavin said.

Mr Neal added: “They’re not taking a big-picture view, they’re taking a very siloed view that this is the brief – you’ve got to get bikes from here to there and that’s it.”

Messages in

the mediaThere have been a few let-

ters and banter about press standards in the past few weeks.

The press is often called the Fourth Estate and is supposed, in its purest form, to investigate and inform the community.

This ensures open and ac-countable government.

It is important for our democ-racy that the media vigorously pursue the truth without fear of favour.

There will be times when they exaggerate or even get it wrong, but in general they do a good job.

Like politicians, the vast majority of journalists have the best interests of their communities and will do their honest best.

As media consumers we need to be vigilant and at times ques-tion what is being presented, but let’s not fall into the trap that many conspiracy merchants peddle and become cynical and disenchanted.

Generally, democracy in Australia is healthy and full of good intentions.

You may disagree with some policies or the methods used to achieve a fairer Australia, but I trust the protections in place are doing a good job.

Journalists and the press play an important role in these checks and balances.

What apartment developers give to the city When the question is asked

of apartment developers “What are you giving to the City of Nedlands?” the benefi ts are easy to list and are highly valued by most of our community.

Well-designed developments provide activity hubs that create community-oriented spaces, ena-bling people to come together more easily to get jobs, a home, go shopping and provide a mix of uses together.

Existing and new shops, cafes and services can thrive and stay open longer.

Safety is improved by more eyes on the street and older residents feel safer with people watching out for each other.

Well-designed living spaces pay homage and rejuvenate, not

diminish, the unique character of the area, be it riverfronts, parkland or heritage buildings.

A signifi cant benefi t the City of Nedlands will gain from apartments and medium den-sity developments is far more ratepayers. This increases the capacity of the council to provide services to residents, to build walking or bike paths, and makes it viable for more frequent and connected public transport.

With major hospitals, uni-versities and service providers located in the Nedlands com-munity, it should aspire to be a place with diverse housing options.

The ideal would be nurses, local police offi cers and young couples starting their profes-

sional careers who work in Nedlands to be able to walk or drive to work, reducing car traffi c (and carbon emissions) on the roads each day.

These days apartment build-ings need to perform at a much higher energy-effi ciency and design standard than existing old homes.

Design WA is a set of princi-ples that ensures modern-day apartments are sustainable, fi t the local context and character, are integrated in their built form and scale, build quality, amenity for both residents and neighbours, community and aesthetics.

Spring chicks

targetedI read with interest (POST,

August 20) that four cygnets had disappeared at Lake Jualbup.

It was a mystery as to how this swan family of cygnets lost four of its clutch of six babies.

Someone blamed foxes. While this is a possibility, it would be quite surpris-ing that there had not been any previous sightings or evidence of fox activity.

I have been a regular walker around Lake Monger and have observed the predatory behaviour of ravens, particularly during breeding season.

I have seen these birds preying on newly hatched turtles as they try to make it to the water.

I have also seen them tar-get bird nests and hatchlings even though they are being protected by one or even two parents.

Ravens work in numbers of pairs and have very few problems distracting parents from their hatchlings.

I have often seen parents with reduced numbers of hatchlings or those who have lost their entire clutch of newborns.

While I can’t be certain that ravens are the culprits in regard to the four missing cygnets, I would not be sur-prised in the least, because of their carnivorous nature.

George BowdenThe Grove, Wembley

Usual suspects ... POST reader George Bowden believes ravens, left, are as likely as (or more likely than) a fox, above left, to have done for four of

the cygnets in this black swan family, above.

This year’s popular Pineapple Festival on Cottesloe beach has been pushed back to next April because the last event badly damaged grassed areas of the beach for the summer.

Catie Jefferies, from the organisers, Zaccaria Concerts & Touring, fronted Cottesloe

council on Tuesday to ask for 12,500 patrons and all of the main beachfront from the groyne to the main carpark on November 19.

They also want to close Marine Parade for the entry gates, portable toilets and food trucks. Cottesloe would receive a $25,000 fee.

Mayor Lorraine Young said the

council was keen to be progres-sive and to cater to young adults by permitting the festival.

But last year’s Pineapple Festival had caused signifi cant damage to grass popular for the beach picnic areas.

For all of summer much of it was unusable, including when Sculpture by the Sea came around in March.

If the turf was replaced, Ms Young said, the public would have to be kept off it for the peak summer month.

It could not be replanted in November and the grass could not be watered for the 10 days needed to set up and remove equipment, when the public was also excluded.

As well as the lawn damage, council had reports of vandal-ism to the golf club fence and antisocial behaviour outside

the venue.The organisers said they want-

ed the festival in warm weather, but Ms Young said “young people don’t feel the cold”.

“It can be really warm in April,” she said.

Deputy mayor Helen Sadler said the weather was still hot in April and the winds had dropped. November often had howling sea breezes.

Councillor Brad Wylynko said the larger footprint for the event

and placing heavy equipment on the closed road would lessen the impact on the lawns.

The council vote was split 4-4 on whether to move the event to April, after Sculpture by the Sea ended, with the mayor using her casting vote to push the date back.

Ms Jefferies said she was disappointed with the vote, and it would be up to Zaccaria Concerts to decide whether an April event would be feasible.

Action Jaxon ...Year 3 Jolimont Primary School student Jaxon New-combe and principal Barbara Iffl a dipped into the new book – Land of the Legends – from St John WA this week. Year 1 to 3 students at the school were set to read it on Friday morning for Book Week. Written for children, it tells 20 true stories of paramedics, volunteers and staff across WA who answered the call to help others in need.

The colloquial name for a park in West Leederville could be sending subliminal messages to children that it is all right to drink alcohol, a Cambridge councillor says.

An unnamed reserve on the corner of Woolwich and McCourt streets in West Leederville has become known as “beer park” among locals.

The name was adopted be-cause the park is located op-posite the former International Beer Store, now The Wine Thief, mayor Keri Shannon told a meet-ing on Tuesday night.

Councillor Kate Barlow moved a motion to rename the reserve

Minnie Ivy Hodgson Park, hon-ouring a West Leederville woman who was one of 22 Australian nurses killed in the Bangka Island Massacre in World War II.

“It’s come to my attention that locals are calling it the ‘beer park’,” Ms Barlow said.

“It is a park where the adults may enjoy social interaction with each other while their toddlers play freely.

“The age group of children are from babies to under 10 years.

“Calling it the Beer Park may in the long term endorse in these children it is all right ‘to have a couple’.

“While I was researching this, I did hear on talkback radio about putting subliminal messages into children’s minds

about alcohol.“So that actually supported

my argument.”The motion was amended to

direct council staff to investi-gate the renaming of the park, which must be done through the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage.

Beer Park name falls flat

Cambridge councillors are not im-pressed by the locals’ name for this park.

Lovers of Rottnest should be aware of what the Rottnest Island Authority is intent on doing.

An application has been submitted by the owners of the Samphire Hotel to build a settlement of 108 prefabricated units to accommodate 211 staff.

This will result in the destruction of 1.3ha of mature vegetation and a change in the mode of operation for businesses on Rottnest.

N o l o n g e r w i l l s t a f f predominantly live in Perth with just night staff staying on the island; instead they would be Rotto residents.

The Rottnest Lodge is expanding in size. Should the owners of the Samphire Hotel get approval for the 108 staff units, it would be impossible to refuse a similar application for the Lodge, in fact the Rottnest Island Authority has already earmarked land to be cleared for it.

This is a change to Rottnest for the worse.

Over the past 50 years the custodians of the island have moved away from having a large resident population because that creates all sorts of management problems.

However, the current Rottnest Island Authority Board is advocating this major change in approach to suit developers.

There is no clear justifi cation for following this path.

There are other options raised in the authority’s own management plan that have been ignored.

And who is deciding on the

development? The advocate and decision-maker are all rolled into one in the form of the Rottnest Island Authority.

Public comment on the

application is open only until this Wednesday, August 31.

Ian MacRaedeputy chairman,

The Rottnest Society

It amazes me that occupiers of very expensive properties (better than $2million price tags) in the streets adjacent to, or not far from, the proposed children’s hospice site are so very critical of the local conditions.

They cite bushfire risks, raucous rugby, inebriated club patrons, the deafening shuffl e of bridge cards, army explosions and helicopters (funny… my kids loved that about Swanbourne High School), and any other detrimental factors.

The fi re risk has been dealt with thoroughly if anyone cares to examine the report.

It seems very odd to me that anyone would buy multimillion-dollar property in an area that is so undesirable, noisy and dangerous.

Not so strange, though, is the common theme that the hospice should go somewhere else … anywhere else.

Anita LorenzGraylands Road, Claremont

Bike paths, we love ’em – or do we?Reading the POST and coun-

cil minutes it is obvious that every council between Perth and Fremantle fi nally got the funding for their section of the cycle freeway from Fremantle to Perth and have to spend it in this fi nancial year.

I love that idea. And it has been a long time coming.

But the execution and the placement of the bike paths, and the roadworks to get it fi nally done, have negatively impacted every community between here and Fremantle.

Commonsense indicates that communities have changed and road-use has changed from years past when the plans were fi rst

done until now when they are fi nally to be enacted.

We can feel for the commu-nity in Pearse Street, North Fremantle, where the heritage-listed houses will probably never recover and the bike path will feel like it is in their house. They al-ready have the train to deal with.

In Wembley, roadworks have turned Ruislip Street into a single lane at the two cul-de-sac streets that access the primary school and recreation centre.

At 8.30am and 3pm, when 900 students have to be dropped off or collected, how will it be safer to ride in amongst the several hundred cars now all trying to access a single lane to get to and

from the kiss and ride? Commonsense tells me there

will be 20 minutes each morning and afternoon when the danger will be exponential. If my child was cycling to school, they won’t be now.

Sadly, I have read that the most dangerous time for a cyclist on the road is going through these road narrowings with a car trying to do the same.

Something that we should be celebrating is causing stress from here to Fremantle.

Please note that the children were already safely riding to school.

Goodbye to the

sunny side of

the streetWe may well make a sub-

mission to Cottesloe council as urged by Columba Tierney (Over-the-top proposal for Cott CBD, Letters, August 20).

But what are our chances of being heard when it was the council itself that inexplicably fi rst came up with 10 storeys for Cottesloe town centre, just a year after the affected Station Street properties were purchased?

Cottesloe’s existing plan-ning scheme and community-developed design guidelines imposed town centre height limits of two to three storeys.

This protected its village atmosphere and full midwinter sun for alfresco dining on the south side of Napoleon and Station streets.

Business patronage would increase with more local residential development to be exclusively located in 3.8ha of vacant land on the other side of the railway, rather than atop the town centre itself.

In that way Cottesloe would retain its blue sky and sunshine and develop as an open-air mall, distinguishing itself from covered malls in Claremont.

Cottesloe council justifi ed to itself that “10 storeys (33 me-tres) on Station Street do not overshadow Napoleon Street”.

Hilariously this was based on “the shadow cast by the building at midday”.

Now Planning Minister Rita

Saffioti will be more than happy to make those 10 storeys a reality, much to the chagrin of those who may like to still have a sunny breakfast at Vans.

Kevin MorganPearse Street, Cottesloe

Oh, no! Not another stampede concert (or worse, maybe two?) to disrupt our Cottesloe main beach (Beach concert wigwam puzzle, POST, August 20).

And Oh, no! Massively in-creased footprint?

As we sat among the mess after the windup of last year’s Pineapple concert, lamenting and chatting with another local, he commented as follows:

“Why don’t these concerts take place in Scarborough where more suitable facilities are al-ready in place? Such as a stage and toilet infrastructures, to-gether with suitable pathways?”

As regular beachgoers in all seasons, my spouse and I espe-

cially despair over the lockdown periods of beach access to allow “bumping in and bumping out” of these huge public events.

Does the council need the money? Is that the criteria? It seems promoters may not be paying enough anyway, as noted by mayor Lorraine Young.

Sculptures by the Sea once a year is surely enough for cop-ing with special public events, not forgetting the essential life savers events and other more appropriate beach carnivals.

And, please, not another con-cert in April.

Diane TrouchetAthelstan Road, Cottesloe

Parking appeals

don’t appeal at allPeter Kapsanis (Cott rangers

pounce in a wee moment, POST, August 20) is outraged to have been unable to have his parking fi ne overturned.

David Cohen’s report notes that Mr Kapsanis overstayed 19 minutes in a 30-minute bay.

That is to say, he’d spent 63% longer in the bay than is permitted. This is hardly a marginal overrun.

Mr Kapsanis claims to have “dashed” across the road, having intended to leave in good time – but if he and his daughter had been leaving at the 29th minute that still means their “dash” took 20 minutes.

Parking restrictions exist where parking is in short supply.

There is a quite simple way to avoid fi nes: Don’t stay in a half-hour bay for nearly an hour.

Jean WalkerRoberta Street, Jolimont

10 storeys is proposed for this sec-tion of Station Street, Cottesloe. Concerned about those Cottesloe concerts

RECIPE: Schweinshaxe

Method1. Bring water in a large pot to a boil, add2 tsp salt, quartered onions, peppercorns, bay leaves, and juniper berries. Turn down the temperature so that the water is still hot but not simmering and submerge the pork hocks. Let them cook at a low temperature for 90 minutes. The water should not boil or simmer.

2. After 90 minutes use tongs to remove the pork knuckles from the water and use a sharp knife to incise the skin in a diamond pattern.

3. Preheat oven to 200°C and rub the pork knuckles with car-away seeds and salt. Place the hocks on a rack in a roasting pan and bake for about 90 minutes. Turn the pork hocks after 45 minutes.

4. To crisp up the skin turn on your oven grill for the last 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them so the skin doesn’t burn.

5. Serve immediately

Cygnets sucked

down drain

have been exhausted by the volume and strength of the water fl owing down the drain.

“Fortunately there were no children there to see it, it was very unpleasant.”

Both men reported the in-cident to Subiaco council on Monday morning.

Mr Sprentels asked them to take steps – even temporarily fitting some wire across the drain – to stop it from happen-ing again.

Subiaco council was contacted for comment.

The POST was told there was a similar incident last winter with a duckling, but the bird was saved.

WaterCorp fi tted a second grid across the front of the drain last Friday morning.

Six years ago a pet dog was washed down a drain and out-fl ow pipe in Daglish (Danger drain tamed, August 20, 2016).

Rochester, a labrador owned by a local family, was being exercised by his female owner and two young children at the dog friendly Cliff Sadlier Park when he ran into a fl ooded area near the drain and got into diffi culty.

As a result of that traumatic incident new grids and fenc-ing on three sides of the drain were installed and signs were put in place.

At the time crews from Daglish Fire-Station tried to recover the dog’s body but couldn’t fi nd it.

The POST understands that Rochester’s remains were even-tually discovered washed up in City Beach, where the outpipe fl ows into the ocean.

‘Part of the family’ … Brad’s setup at St Andrews in Subiaco.

The carport was also home to rats – including one called Rusty – and a raven with a broken wing.

The Anglican cleric recalled a time Brad left the carport to get a coffee and returned to fi nd Rusty in his bedclothes.

“It scared the life out of him and from that moment on he started sleeping on top of this metal outdoor table,” Fr Peter said.

“I didn’t have the heart to tell him rats are good climbers.

“We were all really upset when he died because he was part of our household … he was a lovely man.”

Bev said her friend was a proud man who did not tell anybody where he slept at night.

“He was embarrased sleeping in a driveway with rats running around,” she said.

“At night he cried.“He said that all he ever

wanted was family.”The Subiaco community had

become his family and friends and she thanked them on his behalf.

They included the staff at Farmer Jacks, the bakery and the butchers who used to give him food and drinks and the guys who rounded up the trol-leys with whom he used to “joke around a lot”.

Originally from Sydney, he loved the Rabbitohs and all sports and admired sportspeople.

“Whenever Brad saw a sports-person he would go up and talk to them, he had that confi dence and respect for them,” Bev said.

Local identities Adrian Barich and his daughter also stopped to speak with him, which he appreciated.

He also cherished the time a woman brought all her children and they gave him their pocket money.

“Shoppers gave him coins, food and drinks and warm thoughts of kindness,” Bev said.

“Brad would say, ‘Why are all these people so kind to me? There are so many good people. Subiaco is an awesome place.’

Brad died on July 26, 10 years to the day since his mother died. He had been her carer for almost 20 years.

Bev said he always put his mother fi rst and that in the last 10 years he had “really suffered”.

“He did not like what he had become but he did not know how to fi nd his way back,” she said.

Brad loved Subi’s kindness• From page 7

Street shafted by track snubthat would use local streets to take cyclists through North Fremantle and another that would continue the path along the west side of the tracks, have so far been ruled out by Main Roads.

“Each option was reviewed and assessed against technical criteria, which includes stand-ards, constructability, safety and connectivity,” Main Roads spokesman Dean Roberts said.

“Further consideration was given to accessibility, noise, visual and social impacts.

“The alignment on the eastern side of the tracks utilising the existing rail corridor is the most feasible.”

Local architect Andrew Macliver said that at one stake-holders’ meeting Main Roads

had said there was a “pinch point” where the land between the tracks and the Leighton siding narrows after North Fremantle train station.

“There are always solutions to any problem,” he said.

In this case, he said, it would be shifting a portion of the freight line several metres east to create more space for the path.

It would also mean cyclists would not have to take several hard turns to cross the tracks at North Fremantle station if they wanted to continue along the path, which runs up to that point on the west side of the tracks.

Pearse Street resident Glenn Evans said it was unclear how many cyclists would use the bike path.

He said a counter at the end of the street showed 116 people

travelling north and 121 travel-ling south each day.

Mr Neal said a recent submis-sion to Main Roads to discuss further options was answered as “being outside their brief” and it had been referred to managers.

“We are yet to receive a re-sponse to that action,” he said.

Mr Roberts said:“The project’s proposed alignment will provide a grade-separated bridge over the heavily congested Tydeman Road, providing safer connec-tion for all path users..

“Main Roads intends to con-tinue to engage with residents as the design progresses.

“This will include opportuni-ties to discuss their concerns and treatments, such as security and lighting.

“A fi nal PSP design is antici-pated later this year.”

• From page 11


Locals lose cycle fightthe help of professional external advisers if necessary, and having the results considered in the fi nal design before construction.

Apart from safety, many of the residents objected to the aes-thetics of the wide, red bitumen cycleway, with extra lights, which will cut through their carefully tended verges of the southern side of Eric Street.

One resident said he had spent thousands of dollars two weeks ago on new reticulation and planting new shrubs because he was given the wrong advice at the counter by a council offi cer.

Ms Young replied that the council appreciated the care and money residents lavished on their verges, but ultimately the land was owned by the council.

Gina Gliddon told the meeting that she and Tom Jowett had knocked on the doors of every house in Eric Street, something a council employee should have done.

“There’s an overwhelming no to this,” she said.

“No-one had seen the designs. Nobody saw one. They were not available. When they did see them, they were shocked. Shock leads to anger, and that is why you have got us all here tonight.

“We weren’t adequately in-formed about what lay head.

“I think the idea of a path is great. But the reality on the enormity of this project is quite different and it’s huge.”

Ms Young replied that Cottesloe was committed to a cycle network through Cottesloe linking to ad-joining suburbs.

Council offi cers told the meet-ing a survey of cyclists showed 50 cyclists a day use Eric Street.

“Bike riders don’t use Eric Street anyway,” resident Rebecca King said.

Ms Young said it was highly desirable to get cyclists off the road. Perceived safety issues were discouraging cycle use.

“The aim is for safe and at-tractive continuous routes along major corridors, with connectivity, across districts and connections between destinations within districts and local governments.” she said.

The State will fund cycle net-works that are on this long-term plan but not cycle networks on other routes.

The council letterboxed 180 Eric Steet residents. Fourteen of them opposed the cycleway and seven supported it.

Retired bicycle planning con-sultant and road safety auditor Richard Stallard has roundly criticised the proposed shared path in Eric Street, Cottesloe, at its 85% design stage.

His informal audit lists a litany of problems for cyclists, starting with the use of the wrong type of kerb ramp.

The gradients in places far ex-ceed the limits for recreational bikes and especially wheelchairs, he says.

• From page 1

Some residents are upset that the proposed cycleway would cut into their prized verges.

“We wrote to the council, in-cluding deputy mayor Stephanie Stroud, and were told we would need to get in our cars and drive somewhere suitable,” they said.

They were told that the issue of providing a fenced-in space at another location in Subiaco where dog walkers could go would not be taken any further.

Subiaco Primary said it had a memorandum of understanding with the City that it would respond to complaints of dogs on school property, provide rangers to patrol the area before and after school and install “no dogs” signs on school grounds.

Subiaco CEO Colin Cameron said the City was “pleased” to assist, adding: “The City offers seven off-lead dog parks where responsible owners are able to

exercise their dogs.”The group also met with their

local MP Katrina Stratton on a wet July evening to air their concerns.

“She was very impressive,” an-other member of the dog walking group said.

“Standing out there in the rain for about an hour with her own dog.”

Ms Stratton told the POST: “I have met with some local dog walk-ers who use the Subiaco Primary School and I have raised their concerns with the Minister’s offi ce.”

A Department of Education spokesperson said: “The City’s rangers are educating the com-munity about this direction, with support from the school, and en-couraging dog owners to utilise the designated dog exercise areas in the City of Subiaco.

“Dogs on leads are still allowed onto the paved courtyard area dur-ing the Subiaco Farmers Market.”

A Subi Centro house that was visited by a member of the Royal Family is on the open market.

Number 2 Allora Avenue in Subi Centro had just been built as a sustainable demonstration home by the local council when Prince Charles visited Subiaco in March 2005.

After a mobbed public ap-pearance in Subiaco Square, the eco-minded heir to the throne strolled up the road to the experimental house, chatting to neighbours along the way.

Then-mayor Tony Costa and City offi cials accompanied him through the showhouse.

Water-saving and heat-efficiency devices are built into the design, with three bedrooms and the living space on the southern, cooler side of the house.

Sunlight coming into the

house warms the central stair-well, which acts as the main thermal mass for the entire building.

Thousands of people visited the concept home during the two years it was used to dem-onstrate sustainable principles in action.

Later in 2005 it was sold on the private market to a family who made it their dream home for the next 17 years, and now it needs new owners.

Centro Estates nearby in Hay Street, Subiaco are handling the sale.

Fiona Argyle slams show-home supportPeople who have no issue

with a display home operating in Dalkeith should not be on Nedlands council, mayor Fiona Argyle said this week.

Ms Argyle lashed out at coun-cillor Noel Youngman and others at a meeting on Tuesday after builder Webb & Brown-Neaves applied to show off a new build at 20 Curlew Avenue.

“How would you feel if you were living next to a display home on the weekend?” Ms

Argyle asked the meeting.“You want to bend the rules

for the community?“You shouldn’t be here.”The council is headed for

a costly State Administrative Tribunal fight with Webb & Brown-Neaves after council-lors rejected the display home proposal in a 6-5 vote.

Mr Youngman, who lives op-posite a display home in Colin Street, Dalkeith, said it had caused no problems in 12 months of operation.

“Nobody in my street has been

bothered,” he said.“They seem to do the right

thing.”That drew an angry response

from Ms Argyle.“Who do you represent?” she

asked.“Do you represent the prop-

erty developers?“I just cannot believe that

you are not supporting the residents.”

Seventeen people lodged objections to the display home, citing parking issues and an “undesirable precedent”.

Webb & Brown-Neaves sales manager Simon Brady told the meeting the display home would only be open for 13 hours a week and would have a maximum of six visitors at a time.

“We basically expect to re-ceive 1.2 groups per hour,” Mr Brady said.

“The weekly number of vehicle movements is extremely low.”

The Right stuffSouthern Right Whales came close to shore at Floreat Beach on Monday. Photo: Billie Fairclough

Southern Right Whales frolicked close to shore at Floreat Beach.

At least two whales were spotted near the Floreat main drainpipe, less than 100m off-shore, during a break in this month’s foul weather.

UWA and University of Bristol marine biologist Simon Allen said the huge mammals would have travelled from subantarctic waters to Perth for their breeding season.

“Southern Right Whales are

known to aggregate close to the coastline when they go to calve,” he said.

“If they come into shal-lower water they can defend their calves from attack in just two dimensions, instead of three.”

Dr Allen said the whales might return to Floreat because they were creatures of habit.

“Once they fi nd a spot that is good, they’re very likely to come back,” he said.

He said the whales could be easily identifi ed by the wart-like growths on their heads,

known as callosities, and their V-shaped blow-holes. Southern Right Whales are the third-largest animals on the planet, weighing as much as 73 tonnes.

Their population is estimated to be between 3000 and 4000, according to the MarineBio Conservation Society.

“They’re not recovering as quickly as the humpbacks,” Dr Allen said.

“They were called Right Whales because they were the ‘right’ whale to hunt. They’re slow and they don’t typically swim away from boats.”

Childcare plans knocked back

A proposed two-storey child-care centre for 50 children on a busy West Leederville road has been knocked back by Cambridge councillors.

Developer Harley Dykstra’s $2.1 million plans for the 645sq.m block will now be assessed by a joint development assessment panel (JDAP).

The proposed development on the corner of Vincent Street West and Kimberley Street would accommodate 50 children, seven staff, 11 on-site car bays and oper-ate between 6.30am and 6.30pm.

Neighbours roundly rejected the plans, saying it would be dangerous for children playing so close to heavy traffi c.

Rodney White, who has lived on Vincent Street West for 27 years, said while he respected the view that childcare centres were needed, this was a bad location for one.

“Kimberley Street is a rat-run for traffi c,” he told councillors.

Two weeks ago a childcare centre was fi ned $22,000 after three children were found play-ing on the footpath.

“If that happened in Kimberley Street, those three children would be less than 5m from extremely heavy traffi c, and no one could tell what could hap-pen,” he said.

“Wherever there are humans there are human failures.

“Having this childcare centre so close to heavy traffi c is an invitation for disaster.”

John Miller, who addressed the council on behalf of Harley Dykstra, said he had experience building 150 childcare centres nationally.

“Older suburbs [without a lot of land] are playing catchup on childcare,” he said.

He said young families in these areas were travelling “great distances” to access childcare.

“The majority of inner suburbs are under-catered by childcare,” he said.

PR push

for beach

fundsCottesloe council has hired

a West Perth public relations fi rm to help it with its $22mil-lion foreshore project.

The council’s June accounts showed it paid $11,781 to CGM Communications, for developing a marketing strategy.

“CGM … have been engaged by the Town to assist with sourcing funding from State and Federal government for the foreshore re-development project,” a council spokeswoman said.

“The total amount paid to CGM is $23,562.”

In May Cottesloe mayor Lorraine Young said she had spoken with then-Curtin can-didate Kate Chaney, and other candidates, about Federal fund-ing for the project.

Ms Young said the council’s fundraising efforts were “look-ing promising”.

“We are engaging in lobbying the State Government for an amount to contribute,” she said at the time.

“We’ve had a number of meet-ings with several ministers; it’s looking promising.

“It’s been escalated to the Premier’s offi ce.”

Cottesloe hopes the State Government will chip in $10million, after contributing $48million for Scarborough’s beachfront works.

During the Federal election campaign Celia Hammond pledged $7million if her govern-ment was re-elected ($7m election bait for Cott, POST, April 30).

Shenton Park teenager Sebastian Heil cut his long locks off recently for his grand-mother, but not because she told him he needed a haircut.

Sebastian, 13, hadn’t had his hair cut since he was fi ve.

“He was inspired by my own recent baldness from chemo-therapy and a joke we had about Nanna who wanted to ‘wear his hair’,” said gran Deborah Harris.

She had breast cancer and a mastectomy but has now re-covered.

“It’s a journey and survival is on your mind,” she said.

“During chemo it’s really important to feel like you still belong to society, that you don’t just become a cancer patient.

“To get through chemo you’ve really got to have your mind on the things that are important to you.”

Like many other women she said the loss of her hair was diffi cult to deal with on differ-ent levels.

“It’s quite painful when your hair falls out,” she added.

“It feels like your sister has pulled your hair really hard, that’s how it feels all over, really sore.”

Seb was a very empathetic person and felt compelled to do something to help.

“I just wasn’t me, I was ill, bald and he missed me and I’ve only just recovered this year and now I go to soccer with him,” Deborah said.

About two weeks ago the Year

7 Shenton College student sac-rifi ced his fl owing mane for a good cause.

His hair was washed and twisted into four braids which were then carefully cut off to be used to make a wig for the Ponytail Project.

He was nervous about get-ting it cut off beforehand and “had to look away” when it was done but is now happy with the result.

“This was for people who have lost their hair to cancer so they’ll get to have real hair, which I think is nice,” Seb said.

He is also enjoying other

“fringe” benefi ts from the tight hairdo.

“Now washing my hair is easy and it’s dry in about 20 seconds,” he said.

Mum Joanna said it also meant he would not be mistaken for his twin sister Frankie.

Since he had his hair done Joanna said two other friends and the daughter of another friend were all going to donate hair to the Ponytail Project.

Deborah said she was proud of him and hoped his willingness to lose his “glorious locks” would inspire other young people to think about others.

A food truck vendor has disputed the amount of money his business owes Cottesloe council.

Khoa Mai, one of the organis-ers of the Eatz & Beatz event at the civic centre earlier this year, said he was waiting for the council to provide a cor-rect invoice.

Last Tuesday councillor Kirsty Barrett asked about “signifi cant amounts” listed as being owed for more than

90 days to Cottesloe. Eatz & Beatz was listed as owing $13,146.91 for event bin hire and health licence fees.

“There’s a bit of a discrepan-cy around the waste costs and the bins,” regulatory services manager Freya Ayliffe said.

But Mr Mai said he had received an incorrect invoice from Cottesloe.

“[The bins provided] were totally not what was quoted,” he said.

“We were quoted for 30 bins a night; only 12 were there.”

He said his fi rm could have got cheaper bins elsewhere.

“But we went with [Cottesloe], so we could support them,” he said.

He said being listed as a debtor was not welcome news.

“We don’t want to get a bad reputation,” he said.

Mr Mai has run food truck events across the metropoli-tan area.

Eatz & Beatz’s fi nal Cottesloe event, in April, was cancelled because of bad weather and COVID-19 related issues.

Bins bill puzzle

By DAVID COHEN

Pines repast … Eatz and Beatz drew crowds to the Cottesloe Civic Centre earlier this year.

Recycling stand-offResidents at a Peppermint

Grove strata block say they haven’t had recycling bins for two years.

The council said there was no room in the bin store for recy-cling or GO (garden organics) bins at Peppermint Court on McNeil Street, which has 15 units.

But strata manager ESM blamed “indiscriminate use” of recycling bins by residents as the reason for their absence.

“No one cares about the Peppermint Court complex,” a resident told the POST.

“It looks like no-one cares about the environment.”

The residents said recyclables were put in general waste bins, which were taken to landfi ll.

But fl at owners were charged for recycling bins in their coun-cil rates notices.

One said it was ironic Court

inhabitants still got information on their Shire calendars with reminders on when recycling bins are collected.

Shire CEO Don Burnett said there had been many emails between residents, the strata body, ESM, and the council.

“The problem is that as this is an old complex, the bin store area cannot cope for extra recy-cling or GO bins,” he said.

“The bin store area is com-mon ground and under strata body control.

“We will provide whatever bins the strata body can handle, however I understand this hasn’t been resolved between some owners and the strata body.”

ESM’s strata company manager Ravi Karuppan said: “ESM acts on instruction from the strata council [which is] discussing this with the Shire.”

Bunnings appears unlikely to move from its location in Salvado Road, Subiaco, to a new site in Hay Street, Jolimont, any time in the near future.

The Wesfarmers-owned chain was asked about its intentions for the local store in light of a council bid to begin future plan-ning for the 3.3ha site where it is a sub-tenant (Homebase site up for grabs, POST, August 6).

“Planning for the new Bunnings warehouse Subiaco is currently under way and while we don’t have a fi rm timeframe for construction, we look for-ward to updating the community as our plans progress,” Steven Kingsbury, Bunnings area man-ager told the POST.

Homebase has been at Salvado Road since 1985 and its current lease is due to expire on January 1, 2026, but contains an option for a fi ve-year extension.

An application for a new, bigger store in Jolimont was approved by the Development Assessment Panel in September 2021.

The DIY and hardware sup-plier was given four years to “substantially commence” the $55million store.

The vacant block of land is overgrown with weeds.

It is now more than fi ve years since Bunnings’ bid of $13mil-lion at an auction secured the 1ha site of previously council owned land (Bunnings beats Aldi to Subi site, POST, April 14, 2017).

Now Is The Time For Action


Claremont set to flyClaremont train station is

expected to see a big increase in visitors when the Airport-Forrestfield link opens in October, after two years of delays.

The multimillion-dollar up-grade to the station and turnback was completed this year.

It means passengers can board the train at Claremont and travel through to Redcliffe, Airport Central and High Wycombe with-out needing to change trains.

Trains that drop passengers off at Claremont Station will turn around to head back the way they came.

Trains service the Claremont Station every 10 minutes during peak periods.

This will shorten to every six minutes when the Airport Line opens on October 9.

An estimated 20,000 passen-gers a day are expected to use the new Airport Line in its fi rst year of service.

Three tuart tree saplings planted in the middle of Subiaco Common by the coun-cil were replanted elsewhere not long after a complaint was received about their location.

Subi Centro resident Andrew Purser raised the issue in a let-ter to the editor (Common prob-lem in Subiaco, POST, July 2).

Mr Purser said the suburb already lacked enough open grassed areas and this move by the council would deprive the community of “a wonderful open green space”.

“When mature these trees will signifi cantly reduce the open green space available for use by children ... to kick a ball, fl y a kite, throw a frisbee and simply run around on,” Mr Purser said.

The council administration confi rmed it relocated the three saplings – to Mueller and Mabel Talbot parks – on July 14.

“After concerns regarding the newly planted trees were brought to our attention, the City undertook some preliminary analysis and sought more feed-back from people who attend the park regularly,” Subiaco CEO Colin Cameron said.

“The overwhelming feedback was that removal of the three trees in the middle would be welcomed and improve the functionality for all users.

“As we are in winter, we

were able to accommodate this feedback and replant the three trees to more suitable locations within the City of Subiaco [Mueller and Mabel Talbot parks].

Eleven trees in total were planted around the park at the time, which the City said was to provide shade in what it said was a “heat-affected area” used by residents to exercise their dogs.

As well as shade, Subiaco claimed the new trees would

reduce the buildup of heat, improve air quality, make the area look better and support biodiversity locally.

When it planted the trees originally in the centre of Subiaco Common, the ad-ministration said there was “overwhelming support” for the move.

Meanwhile, light poles around the park are being upgraded, with work expected to be fi nished by the end of December.

Health innovators in line for medal

Nominations are invited for a new Perron Institute award, the Byron Kakulas Medal, cel-ebrating innovation in health and medical research.

Created in honour of the Nedlands-based Perron Institute’s founding director, Emeritus Professor Byron Kakulas, it commemorates the institute’s 40th anniversary.

The inaugural award will recognise the contribution of an individual or small team having a transforming impact on the health and wellbeing of Western Australians.

Perron Institute director Steve Wilton said medical breakthroughs are achieved with original thinking.

“Professor Kakulas has always focused on the big issues on the basis that solving these can lead to the greatest breakthroughs,” Professor Wilton said.

“This philosophy shapes the thinking behind the Byron Kakulas Medal.”

The recipient will receive the medal and a $5000 cash award, and deliver a lecture at a public event to be held later in the year.

Nominations will be adjudi-cated by an awards committee chaired by Professor John Finlay-Jones.

Nominate a person or team for this award online at per-roninstitute.org/medal.

The deadline is close of busi-ness Wednesday, August 31.

Dry July fundraising cham-pions Emma Milner and Taylor Morgan have raised more than $100,000 for Cancer Council’s 13 11 20 Information and Support line, after their 2022 fundraising event held at Santini Bar & Grill netted more than $82,000 in just four hours.

Ms Milner, who works for real estate group Ray White Dalkeith, said she and Ms Morgan, who lives in Nedlands, were de-lighted to exceed their Dry July fundraising goal and could not believe the generosity of guests and the WA community.

“We were hoping our fundrais-ing event would raise $25,000 through auction sales and $25,000 through the raffl e, so we were blown away when the event raised more than $82,000,” Ms Milner said.

“This combined with the generous donations made to our Team Valerie fundraising page has pushed the total to more than $100,000.”

Team Valerie was named in honour of Ms Milner’s mother Valerie Davis who in 2018 was diagnosed with Stage 4 meta-static lung cancer and given just six months to live with no treatment.

During some of Ms Davis’s darkest times battling cancer, she called Cancer Council WA’s 13 11 20 Information

and Support line to seek help and guidance to assist her in navigating through the most diffi cult time of her life, inspir-ing her daughter to start her record-breaking fundraising campaign.

“This year’s result brings Team Valerie’s grand total to close to $200,000 since we began in 2019 so we are incredibly grateful to our huge team of support that surrounded us that made this event and suc-cessful fundraising possible,” Ms Milner said.

Ms Milner is Australia’s high-est Dry July individual fund-raiser for the third year running, and Team Valerie secured the

second top team nationally again in 2022 for fundraising.

Cancer Council WA’s 2022 Dry July Ambassador, Emily Halberg, from Swanbourne, also smashed her fundraising target, making her the seventh highest fundraiser in Australia.

Her initial fundraising target was $5000, which was reached in 18 hours.

She then increased her target to $10,000 which was reached in 42 hours, and has now raised more than $20,000.

Cancer Council WA CEO Ashley Reid congratulated Emma and Taylor, Team Valerie and Emily Halberg on their incredible Dry July fundrais-

ing efforts.“Emma, Taylor, Team Valerie

and Emily have achieved an absolutely incredible result for Cancer Council WA’s 13 11 20 Information and Support Line,” Mr Reid said.

“We are so grateful to for all their outstanding fundraising efforts during Dry July 2022.

“In addition, we would like to thank all West Australians who participated in Dry July.

“Cancer Council WA’s 13 11 20 Information and Support Line is not government funded – it is funded through the generos-ity of donors and fundraisers like Team Valerie and Emily Halberg.”

Mosman Park council is giving away free solar sensor lights to help households and local businesses feel safer after dark in a program launched earlier this month.

The solar sensor light initia-tive Let There Be Light gives households or local businesses in Mosman Park a chance to apply for one free solar sensor light, while stocks last.

Already 20 residents have signed up, citing energy ef-ficiency, security and safety, minimal running costs and liv-ing alone as their top reasons for applying.

Mayor Paul Shaw said the council regularly meets with its community-led Safety and Security Advisory Group to discuss ways to make Mosman Park a more welcoming and safer place.

“Improvements to lighting is an effective strategy to discour-age crime and increase commu-nity safety so that Mosman Park is a welcoming place to live, work, play and do business,” Mr Shaw said.

“The Let There Be Light ini-tiative aims to increase a sense of safety for residents and small businesses alike.”

A limited number of solar sensor lights are left and are allocated on a fi rst come, fi rst serve basis.

Mosman Park residents and businesses can apply at mosman-park.wa.gov.au/lettherebelight.

Graham McKenzie- Smith will speak on “Defence Heritage Sites of WA” at Subiaco Probus Club’s next meeting.

There are more than 650 sites of defence heritage inter-est around WA, including gun emplacements, airfi elds’ radar stations, campsites, drill halls and memorials.

Graham’s talk will include slides outlining the sites as-sociated with the defence of WA in World War II.

Graham spent 35 years work-ing on The Unit Guide – a six-volume box set of books which gives profi les of all 5700 units that made up the Australian Army in World War II.

Each unit profi le covers what is known of the unit’s forma-tion, role, organisation, move-

ments, operations and place in the army’s hierarchy, including references to the unit’s war diary at the Australian War Memorial.

Graham’s recent works in-clude a book about the coastal defences of Albany, Bunbury, and Fremantle in World War II and the Royal Australian Engineers in WA.

Visitors are invited to hear Graham’s presentation at the Lake Monger Recreation Club, 144 Gregory Street, Wembley on Monday, September 12.

The meeting starts at 10am with a cost of $7 (cash) for morning tea, or, come for the guest speaker only at 11am.

Sisters are doing it for each otherA Mosman Park resident

has been running monthly women’s and girls’ gather-ings in the hope of creating closer community ties.

This weekend, she’s hold-ing a day-long “sisterhood conference”, building on the monthly gatherings.

Fariba Fanaian started the group, called Sisterhood Conversations, 18 months ago.

“I wanted to create a space where we can talk, and we can listen,” Ms Fanaian said.

“We live in a community with such disparities, and I want people to be able to come together in oneness.”

Since October 2020 , Sisterhood Conversations have been held at Ms Fanaian’s home, welcoming women of all backgrounds and ages.

“The purpose of the gath-ering is to create a regular space where women can openly engage in conversa-tions about things impacting the community and draw on shared knowledge to address those disintegrative forces,” Ms Fanaian said.

Some of the topics explored in Sisterhood Conversations have included hope during COVID, health and well-being, family life, true friend-ship, and raising children.

Ms Fanaian said during the period of lockdowns and closed State borders, the in-tergenerational links in the group had come to the fore – with several young adult women stuck in WA drawing on the sisterhood gatherings for support.

“Intergenerational learning

and relationship building has been a feature of sisterhood conversations,” Ms Fanaian said.

“How do we keep things dignifi ed when helping one another? The answer is friendship.”

The conference is to be held this Sunday, August 28, from 10am to 4pm at Alf Adams Pavilion in Mosman Park.

It will include junior youth (12 years upwards), youth, and adults.

There will be devotions, music, art stations, a mingle station, workshops and panels as part of the program.

Registration is free. For more details contact

Young artist Isabella Spann won this year’s People’s Choice Award at the City of Nedlands Emerge Youth Art Awards.

If Isabella Spann had a cat of her own, it most likely wouldn’t be 2m tall and multi-coloured.

But the cat that helped her win the People’s Choice Award at the City of Nedlands Emerge Youth Art Awards 2022 is ex-actly that.

“Vivid Gaze” painted in acrylic by 18-year-old Bella from Ardross won this year’s award with a record number of votes.

Bella dropped into Tresillian Arts Centre this week to be congratulated on the win and receive her $500 prize.

The Emerge Youth Art Awards 2022 is open to artists

aged 12 to 25 years and the awards this year attracted a record 126 entries across all mediums.

Tresillian Arts Centre coor-dinator Lisa Macfarlane-Reid said the People’s Choice contest had received almost 200 votes, and Bella’s entry was a popular winner.

The Emerge Exhibition has been on display since 23 July with many visitors and local school students attending.

The City of Nedlands Emerge Youth Art Awards is an annual event.

Artists interested in enter-ing the 2023 awards can start getting ready now.

just purr-fect

Mosman Park bird lover James Bennett wants people to stop using the type of rat killers – or rodenticides – that cause harm to wildlife includ-ing native birds.

Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) cause internal haemor-rhaging in the rat, leading to its eventual death.

ARs can be split into two groups, fi rst generation antico-agulant rodenticides (FGARs) and the far more dangerous second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs).

First generation anticoagulant rodenticides contain one of the following: warfarin, coumatetra-lyl (racumen), sodium chloride or diphacinone.

These poisons break down quickly and therefore minimise the risk of secondary poisoning of other animals.

But the second-generation rodenticides are slow to break down and create a serious risk of secondary poisoning to non-target animals such as wildlife and pets.

They contain one of the follow-ing: brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difenacoum, difethialone or fl ocoumafen.

With the second-generation rodenticides, the poisoned rodent typically takes several days to die and during this time can easily become prey to owls, birds of prey, and reptiles.

SGARs may also be eaten by insects, which are in turn eaten by boobook owls, tawny frogmouths and other birds.

Scientists looking at boobook owls in south-west WA found that

70% of the birds examined had dangerous levels of SGARs in their body tissues.

Anticoagulant rodenticides are designed to taste good, so are attractive to rodents, wildlife and pets.

The urgency of this issue has prompted BirdLife Australia to start a campaign to increase community awareness of the risks associated with the use of SGARs.

Some councils have already acted.

Recently Mosman Park council told residents they should avoid using the second-generation rat poisons, in preference for the less harmful fi rst-generation ones.

“The Town of Mosman Park now uses fi rst generation roden-ticides only and we encourage households/residents to do the same,” a spokesperson said.

“The Town is committed to informing and educating our residents on the harmful effects of using second generation anti-coagulant rodenticides (SGAR).”

This step was welcomed by bird-lover James Bennett.

“As a lover of wildlife and birds in particular and a resi-dent of Mosman Park I would like to congratulate the council on their recent announcement with regards to the use of an-ticoagulant rodenticides,” Mr Bennett said.

Local birds such as the tawny frogmouth, left, and barn owl, right, are at risk of poisoning from rat baits. Mosman Park council is encouraging residents to only use “fi rst-generation” rat poisons which cause less harm to wildlife.

In early July a public meet-ing was held to establish a WA branch of Grandmothers for Refugees (G4R).

First established in Victoria in 2014, there are many branches of G4R in the Eastern states, each based on a Federal electorate, all lobbying for a better deal for people seeking asylum and rais-ing awareness of their situation.

The July meeting resulted in the establishment of G4R Curtin, with a fl edgling membership of 15.

The G4R Curtin members are holding their fi rst awareness-rais-ing event on Thursday September 1 and invite others to join them for an informative talk about refugees and asylum seekers and their situ-ation both onshore and offshore.

The fi rst awareness-raising event will be on the theme “Refugee lives in limbo”, with speaker Betty McGeever sharing stories of the boat arrivals, then and now.

Ms McGeever is a founding member of G4R Curtin, and has for many years been heavily involved with advocacy and practical help for those who came to Australia by boat seeking Australia’s protection.

Her talk will cover all the cohorts of refugees – offshore and onshore – and will outline the diffi culties that people seeking asylum endure in their effort to fi nd safety and welcome in Australia.

“Some things have changed since the Federal election, such as the Tamil family are happily home in Biloela,” Ms McGeever said.

“But for many the situation is still grim, and Grandmothers for Refugees believe it can be bet-ter, not only for the benefi t of the refugees but also for Australia.”

The talk will be held in Alexandra Hall, at 20 Monument Street, Mosman Park, from 3.30 to 5pm.

All are welcome.

Grandmothers for refugees

Across Australia, Grandmas for Refugees (G4R) groups have advocated for refugee rights. The newly formed Curtin G4R group is holding its fi rst meeting

on September 1.

The duo Tea and Whisky describe themselves as a musi-cal meeting of the whimsical with the full-bodied.

“It’s a combination of a lazy Sunday vibe with the intensity of a passionately-lived life,” one half of the duo Raelene Bruinsma said.

Alex Hey, commonly known as Alex-the-cellist, and Raelene, singer/songwriter and commu-nity choir director, join forces for a feast of voice, cello, fl ute, occasional percussion, and sev-

eral varieties of guitar, served up in varying combinations in the service of song.

“Our repertoire is a surpris-ing mix of lively and soulful covers and originals, and our arrangements sparkle with hints of musical infl uences from a variety of musical genres,” Raelene said.

“Most of all, we share music because it’s fun.”

Tea and Whisky play at Jack-adder’s music club this Sunday, August 28, from 2.30-5pm.

Jackadder’s is part of the West

Australian Folk Federation.

Perron Institute PhD student Frances (Frankie) Theunissen is a fi nalist in the 2022 Premier’s Science Awards.

She has been nominated in the ExxonMobil Student Scientist of the Year category, awarded to an outstanding postgraduate student who has demonstrated a commitment to science at an early stage and shows great promise in reaching the highest levels of excellence.

Frankie is a member of the Motor Neurone Disease Genetics and Therapeutics group at the Perron Institute in Nedlands and the Centre for Molecular Medicine and Innovative Therapeutics, Murdoch University.

“There is considerable vari-ability in how motor neurone disease progresses, including age of onset, survival time and where in the body the disease

begins,” Frankie said. “My work focuses on identify-

ing genetic markers for sporadic MND, where there is no prior family history.

“Using these markers, we aim to group together patients who have similar underlying genetic mechanisms, allowing us to identify subgroups that may respond more favourably to certain therapies.

“We hope this strategy will help us improve the outcomes of clinical trials for MND and inform the development of targeted treatments.”

Frakie, Professor Anthony Akkari, head of MND Genetics and Therapeutics Research at the Perron Institute and Murdoch University, and their team reported the fi rst genetic association between the gene STMN2 and sporadic MND and recently published in a high impact journal proposing the use of such markers in clini-

cal trials. “I am proud of Frankie’s

achievements and ongoing outstanding academic success,” Professor Akkari said.

“Being a fi nalist is already a signifi cant win not only for Frankie but for our team and the Perron Institute broadly.”

Frankie formed and led international collaborations to launch a genetic marker pipeline project that received $250,000 in funding from FightMND, a Melbourne-based organisation.

Frankie is an ambassador for research, teaches and mentors students and volunteers in sci-ence outreach programs. She will soon be moving to Shenton Park to be nearer the Perron Institute in Verdun Street.

Every day in Australia, two people are diagnosed with MND and two patients die from this devastating neurodegenerative disease.

Frankie’s a finalist for student scientist

Perron Institute PhD student Frankie Theunissen is a fi nalist in the 2022 Premier’s Science Awards, with the winner to be announced on

Seasonal weed control notification Weed invasion threatens the biodiversity of our conservation reserves and affects the function, community use and amenity of our public spaces.

The City uses an integrated approach to weed and pest management. This means when chemical-free weed controls are not effective or feasible, the City selectively uses herbicides and pesticides.

Seasonal weed control using a Glyphosate spraying will be conducted from September 2022 to the end of December 2022 (weather permitting) as follows:

• Glyphosate will be applied to road kerbs and traffic islands throughout the City, in accordance with label directions and best practice from the Western Australian Department of Health.

• Application will cease in wet or windy conditions and nozzle protection shrouds will be used to minimise spray drift.

• Weed spraying vehicles will have clear signage showing ‘Slow Moving Vehicle, Spraying in Progress’ and display the Contractor’s name.

Residents who wish to exempt glyphosate spraying adjacent to their property can have their name and property address recorded on the non-spraying list, by registering on the City’s website www.stirling.wa.gov.au/pestsandweeds

Weed control using steam will be continuous through the year.

Steam spraying will be used on the road reserve next to sensitive areas (in front of schools, shops, parks, aged care, preschool centres), footpaths, laneways and public pedestrian accessways.

The City has recommended a program to phase out glyphosate within the road reserve, making incremental shifts to steam over the next three years.

The Cat Haven in Shenton Park opened its new dental room last week, with funding from the State Government’s Funding Promise.

The new dental room will enable rescue cats with chronic dental disease to receive the treatment they require before being put up for adoption.

The dental room has been equipped with the specialised equipment that will allow far more dental surgeries on site, which is important with the increase in dental disease Cat Haven staff are seeing come through the doors every day.

“With over 70% of cats having dental disease by the age of three we are seeing so many cats that need these surgeries,” Cat Haven chief executive Roz Robinson said.

“The pain that the teeth can cause is immense and these cats are desperate for surgery, often with bleeding mouths and multiple teeth needing removal by the time they come to us.”

Nedlands MLA Dr Katrina Stratton offi cially opened the new dental room and the vet team got straight to work.

“This is delivering on an elec-tion promise to support the broad, complex and compassionate work of the Cat Haven,” Dr Stratton said.

“How we treat our animals says something about the kind of com-munity we are and the work of the Cat Haven creates a community that is kind and compassionate.

“The dental clinic will ensure not only that cats receive onsite and

timely dental care but that they Ms Robinson said: “Cat Haven would like to give many thanks to the WA State Government for the funding to go ahead with this dental room, without this it would be a mere dream that we would be able to do this many dental surgeries on site and change the lives of so many cats in need.”

More than 1000 people are expected at Perry Lakes Reserve this year for the an-nual Walk in the Park event, Parkinson’s WA’s biggest and most successful fundraiser.

The event is on Sunday, September 11, with gates opening at 9.30am.

It will be the 12th year the walk has been held.

C o m m u n i t y m e m b e r Richard, who has Parkinson’s Disease, said when people think of Parkinson’s, they think slow and shuffling, but the atmosphere of the AWITP event is the exact opposite.

“I really like seeing so many different people from all walks of life and seeing family, friends and kids all showing their support,” he said.

“It’s a really lovely show of unity.”

The walk will be on two courses, both wheelchair and pram accessible with 2km or 5km options.

The ever-energetic Wasamba drummers leading the walk will play uplifting, rhythmic music creating a celebratory atmosphere.

“The event energy, colour and movement to the Parkinson’s cause,” Richard said.

Latest research indicates more than 100,000 people live with Parkinson’s and more than 12,300 cases are diagnosed each year in Australia.

The walk raises funds for those affected by Parkinson’s in the WA community by contributing to the unique community-based Parkinson’s nurse specialist service, as well as seminars, support gorups, carers groups and counselling.

Gates open at 9.30am with the 2km and 5km walks be-ginning at 11am. Info: www.awalkinthepark.org.au.


While Schumann is a name that is widely recognised in the classical music world, Clara Schumann is not the name that springs to mind.

More commonly recorded in the history books as the wife of celebrated composer Robert Schumann, Clara was a world-renowned pianist who had a long, far-reaching, and consequential musical career.

She wrote spectacular music. Next month, celebrated

Australian pianist and passionate advocate for women in Australian music, Cecilia Sun will join the UWA Symphony to perform Clara Schumann’s beautiful Piano Concerto in A minor, Op.7. at the Government House Ballroom.

“Clara Wieck (as she was then) started composing the concerto when she was just 14 years old,” Cecilia said.

“That is a very sobering and humbling fact.

“It’s really hard to play, which showed what a great pianist she must have been at a very young age.

“It’s great that Clara is fi nally starting to get her time in the limelight.”

Cecilia will perform Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A Minor in a recital called On the Scales, presented by students of the UWA Conservatorium of Music.

The program of works also includes another amazing but oft-overlooked Romantic era composer, Amy Beach, who is

only now receiving the recogni-tion her work deserves.

The UWA Conservatorium of Music is committed to providing students with industry standard performance opportunities, and that must include performing the works of these amazing but often little-performed composers.

On the Scales will be per-formed in the Government House Ballroom from 7pm on Friday September 16. Tickets cost from $20 and are available from try-booking.com/CALCR .

Sun shines on female composers

Pianist Cecilia Sun will play a program of female composers’ works at a concert at Government

House on September 16.

Walk to drum up funds

The vibrant rhythms of drumming group Wasamba will lend a festive air to this year’s Walk in the Park fundraiser for Parkinson’s WA at Perry Lakes.

son’s support services.

This year will mark the 10th year of the JB 6-A-Side summer soccer league.

What began 10 years ago as a “what if?” for the former Socceroo and Perth Glory captain has now grown into Perth’s most popular summer 6-a-side competition with about 1500 local players (boys, girls, women and men) spanning age groups from under 6s to masters open.

JB 6-A-Side founder Jacob Burns said his main hope in creating the summer league had been to bring the local community together in an active and fun way while playing “The World Game”.

“I wanted to form a local com-petition in the summer months when most clubs and sporting bodies take a break,” he said.

“I feel tremendously proud and thankful that together with the support and collaboration of the Subiaco council, and the local soccer community, we have been able to create a local com-

petition with a growing base of keen footballers of all ages and genders.”

Every Tuesday and Wednesday evening from October 25, the fi elds at Rosalie Park will spring to life as hundreds of keen foot-ballers descend.

On any night there will be brightly coloured teams enjoying an intense 30 to 40-minute game of soccer in a scheduled season of fi xtures.

“It’s a fantastic way for all play-ers to show off their skills, make new friends and have great fun,” Jacob said.

Over the years some members of individual teams initially created by the competition or-ganisers have become lifelong friends, with the teams coming back each year to play in the competition.

Some teams have stayed with the competition each year since the inaugural season of 2012/13.

“There is such an enormous sense of community within the competition that even as the

organisers of JB Summer 6s, we ourselves have formed close friendships with people who sup-port us and for this we are ever thankful,” Jacob said.

Registration for this seasons JB 6-A-Side Summer soccer league opens on September 1 online at www.jb6asidesoccer.com.au .

New players and families are welcome.

Peter Moir was an antiques dealer and ran Swan River Colony Antiques in Shenton Park from 1976 to 1993.

“My wife said she wanted a bigger garden. I misunderstood and bought a farm,” Peter joked of their move down to Margaret River.

“She said she wanted cats, but I got cattle.”

Leaving behind the stress of running an antiques centre and a warehouse cafe during a recession, Peter restored a derelict group settlement home, now heritage listed, planted olives, raised grass-fed Murray Greys and pursued his passion for art.

“I had loved learning about antiques, but then I learned about farming and life drawing. I found I was quite good at both,” he said.

He launched his art career Down South by doing life portraits and landscapes.

The landscapes won him awards and money.

“Farming doesn’t make money. It’s a hole in the ground you throw money into,” he said, “but we’re dedicated conservationists and cherish our bush house and yard. And through my art, which I can sell, I can support and promote the beautiful bush.”

Peter is renowned for his realistic paintings of South-West beaches and evocative North-West landscapes.

His home studio, “a welcoming, bright, large space on our small bush block on the in-skirts of Margaret River,

surrounded by my wife’s lovely and creative garden,” will be open for Margaret River Region Open Studios (MRROS) next month.

Between September 10 and 25 a record number of artists will be opening their studios to the public to share their private world of paint, canvas, kilns, fabric, fi re, timber, charcoal, chainsaws, pencils, found objects, welding tools, looms, printing presses, clay, metal and millinery.

Other locals who have moved down there include Rochelle Boland, who left Cottesloe for Margaret River to open a wellness retreat where she could pursue her love for art therapy and jazz singing through her swing band Miss Kitty & The Hepcats.

Landscape artist Karina Buckingham, who recently exhibited at Gallows, has moved from City Beach to live among the tall trees and wild coast of the South-West.

They join 165 other artists who will showcase art in all its forms across the region.■ For maps and artists, go to mrropenstudios.com.au.

Emotions ring trueCourtney Henri is

only just old enough to remember the landline telephone.

The 24-year-old recalls a telephone hanging on the wall, but by the time her South African parents moved to Perth in 2003 when Courtney was fi ve, the Nokia phone was already in millions of pockets.

In the newly devised stage show Telephone, The Last Great Hunt Theatre Company goes back to the 1990s and life on the landline.

It was a time when the telephone usually lived

in the living room and everyone raced to answer it, but no one had any privacy when they did.

Calls were timed and charged accordingly, and overseas calls, with voices pausing and echoing across oceans, were prohibitively expensive.

At the point where the world was hurtling towards Y2K and its potential computer disasters, theatre-making Hunters dial into communication through hundreds of phone calls, combining prank calls and telemarketing, bugging and bad connections, a tax auditor with an unusual proposition, voicemails and

a neighbour calling 000.The show, simply called

Telephone, intercepts conversations and weaves them together into a kaleidoscope of love and loneliness.

Devised by the whole Great Hunt team, Courtney joins Grace

Chow, Jeffrey Jay Fowler, Arielle Gray and Tim Watts on stage in what she described as a “symphony of calls”.■ Telephone performs at PICA Performance Space from August 30 to September 10. Book through pica.org.au.

Thirty-fi ve years ago, my real father was married to another

woman. My mother gave him an ultimatum: divorce your wife, or you will never see the child I am carrying.

Apparently, he tried to see me but my mother put a stop to it.

Recently I learned where my father lives. I want to contact him. If I were him, I would wonder how my child was and want to know if she was brought up with

love. The wondering eats

at me.

He is now 77 years old.

I don’t want him leaving

this world wondering,

but I am afraid to do

anything about it.

I don’t want to tell my

mother if I contact him,

because I don’t want to

hurt her. But the need to

contact my father gets

stronger every year. I

will not be hurt if he says

he isn’t interested.

Please give me any advice you might have.

Tabitha

Tabitha, if you let this opportunity slip by, you will regret it.

You were not a player in the emotional blackmail your mother played on your father so many years ago.

That is ancient history. You have no obligation

to continue playing this game. The chance for a meeting with your father dies when your father dies.

We understand you don’t want to hurt your mother, but she does not have the right to dictate the course of your life, or know all its intimate details.

This is not a secret you are keeping from your mother.

As a child, you are entitled to contact with your parents. Your mother denied your father that contact with you.

You can now revoke her denial.

The musical Cruel Intentions has a surprising-ly long list of adaptations.

The story of seduction and exploitation began as the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre de Laclos.

It was turned into a fi lm in 1959, a stage play in 1985, and subsequently another fi lm, Dangerous Liaisons (with Glenn Close and John Malkovich), a musical, an opera and a ballet, and several more book adaptations.

In 1999, another fi lm based on the story was relocated to modern-day New York and the mature sophisticates became high- school teens.

Called Cruel Intentions it starred Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon.

Despite poor reviews, its box offi ce success spawned a prequel in 2000 and sequel in 2004, and a juke-box musical in 2015.

The nostalgic 90s musical, Cruel

Intentions is less about the cruel seduction of the headmaster’s virgin daughter and more about the string of iconic 90s hits by the likes of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Boyz II Men and The Verve.

Featuring Kirby Burgess, Drew Weston and Kelsey Halge, the Australian tour of Cruel Intentions has landed at Regal Theatre, Subiaco, performing to September 3. ■ Book through Ticketek.

■ What’s in a colour? Robert (Andrew Lewis) and Bruce (Jarryd Dobson) wrestle over the future of Christopher (Tinashe Mangwana).

All-round view of mental health

In a small square fi ghting-ring of a stage, with the audience on all four sides, British writer Joe Penhall’s drama unfolds as a wres-tling match over mental health and male egos.

A young black patient, Christopher (Tinashe Mangwana), is about to be released from a psy-chiatric hospital after 28 days under the care of young, ambitious trainee psychiatrist Bruce (Jarryd Dobson). But with the arrival of senior consultant

Robert (Andrew Lewis), Christopher is caught between clashing ideolo-gies, prejudices and egos.

Tinashe, making a superbly confi dent pro-fessional debut, all but bounces off the walls as Christopher.

Diagnosed with a bor-derline personality disorder and believing oranges are blue, his barely contained energy fi lls the consultation room. He veers between wry and provocative sanity and twitching, vulnerable instability. And though all our sympathies lie with him, it is less about him than about the cold, hard reality of the politics of power.

Robert, who believes himself to be a specialist in ethnic prejudices, wants to release Christopher into his “community”. Besides, the hospital needs the beds.

Bruce wants to keep his patient in hospital so he can give him the diagnosis he believes he deserves.

Andrew Lewis as Robert displays all the blustering, manipulative arrogance of entitlement, pitted against Jarryd’s desperately ambi-tious Bruce, who struggles to be heard and recognised.

Under designer Neil Sheriff’s cold fl uoro lights, director Stuart Halusz holds the tension in this small, static space and suc-cessfully wrestles the three men into a taut, complex, intellectual debate.

When Blue/Orange was fi rst staged just over two decades ago, reviews noted the play about a self-serv-ing psychiatric system was “shockingly timely”. Not much has changed.

PICKSWhat the critics are saying…

critics’

✪ Average star ratings

■ Bosch and Rockit (MA15+) ✪ ✪ ✪ Tyler Atkins’ father-son drama starring the lesser-known Hemsworth, Luke, is “cloying and sometimes fl at-out cheesy”, according to The Guardian. FilmInk agrees: “The fi lm feels a bit fl abby at nearly two hours, but you feel there is a germ of a good story in there too.” Meanwhile, news.com.au reckons: “Hemsworth’s range is a revelation. This is exactly the type of fi lm that allows him to showcase those talents.”

■ Fire of Love (M) ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪“Though marred by an unfortunate title and by the wobbly vocals of its narrator, Miranda July, who speaks in a fragile croak, the fi lm is one of the year’s few awe-inspiring documentaries—a visually ravishing record, a bustling adventure, and an engrossing character study that begs to be remade, with actors, as a big-budget Hollywood narrative feature,” says the Wall Street Journal. Rolling Stone agrees: “The doc is the greatest lava-fuelled love story ever told, and the fact that those two elements remain as inseparable as the spouses at the centre of it all is a testament to how sublime this stranger-than-fi ction masterpiece really is.”

■ A Taste of Hunger (M) ✪ ✪ ✪In Danish fi lmmaker Christoffer Boe’s foodie drama “the world of fi ne-dining, and the quest for a highly-coveted Michelin star, is presented as a stylish, high-stakes thriller laced with eroticism and subterfuge,” according to the LA Times.But the New York Times says Boe “works to balance the story’s overripe dramatics with images that remain cool even in the heat of the moment ... The effect is a movie that resembles nothing so much as the centrepiece of the Malus menu — a hot dog made with elevated ingredients.”

Archibald Prize-winning painter Del Kathryn Barton’s artist biography says her practice is “grounded in self-referentiality, drawing from a euphoric, emotional inner world”.

That is evident in the very fi rst shot of her mixed feature fi lm debut, Blaze, in which a tiny girl sits mesmerised by a wall fi lled with intricate paintings – all by Barton. Self-referential, indeed; many would fi le it under self-indulgent.

The scene seems to allude to the rich inner life of the title character, played thereafter by Julia Savage.

We learn early on that the 12-year-old Blaze has a fascination for the natural world and gets by emotionally with the help of her imaginary dragon Zephyr – a beautifully

rendered glittery pink puppet with slow-blinking eyes, who takes up a large portion of the schoolgirl’s attractive inner-city Sydney bedroom.

The fi lm reportedly draws on a dark experience from Barton’s own childhood, another moment of self-reference that she explores with co-writer Huna Amweero.

In the fi lm, it manifests early on, when Blaze witnesses a woman (Yael Stone) violently raped and murdered in a leafy Paddington laneway.

Struggling to process what she saw, and with the guilt of being unable to help, the story explores both the procedural drama and the formative, coming-of-age process of Blaze dealing with her rage and disempowerment – all under the fl ummoxed care of her well-meaning father (Simon Baker).

It is worthy, relevant material. What Barton lacks in mastery of plausible dialogue and

narrative refi nement, she strives to make up for in a multifaceted magical realist approach using stop-motion animation, visual effects, dance and puppetry – all clanging with symbolism.

Back to that artist bio and the word “euphoric”: Blaze at times recalls moments of the superb TV series Euphoria – the characters’ torment and confusion, but mostly their outstanding glittery eye makeup.

However, a closer screen touchstone is

fellow Australian singer-songwriter Sia’s poorly received 2021 feature debut Music. Despite similar themes and distinctive soundtracks (Barton’s features Nick Cave, Fuck Buttons, The Flaming Lips), it only underscores the problem of how diffi cult it is for any artist to render the inner workings of a sensitive mind into a cohesive fi lm narrative.

Barton’s fi lm is ambitious, but it has a way to go before it could be considered accomplished.

■ The two-bedroom cottage on the right has been ideal for guests.

Segenhoe is a landmark

property in Scone, NSW,

with a classic Australian

homestead and a world-

class horse stud.

The elegant homestead

inspired the owners of this

Quindalup home to create

their own version of it, and

they enlisted local designer

Noelene Taylor to come up

with a blueprint.

Dale Alcock South

West brought the plans to

life, and the owners were

thrilled with the result.

“The builders did a

fantastic job,” they said.

“Our home has the most

spectacular ocean view to

the east and north over

Geographe Bay.

“We were delighted

with the way the builder

captured those views.

“Floor-to-ceiling com-

mercial glazing across the

entire back of the house

maximises the ocean as-

pect.”

Like many properties

Down South, the project

was a work in progress.

It began with a shed,

then came a cottage, main

house and carport.

The separate cottage,

with two bedrooms, a mod-

ern kitchen, living area,

bathroom and laundry, has

been handy for guests.

“It has been a wonderful

addition to our lives,” the

owners said.

They reckon Vintners

Drive is one of the best lo-

cations in the area because

it has all the attributes

of country life but is just

six minutes by car from

Dunsborough.

The 2.88ha property

has a mix of landscaped

gardens, old gum trees and

30 avocado trees.

“We did have plans to

grow avocados on a semi-

commercial scale, but now

we just give them away to

friends,” the owners said.

A 10x8m shed has a

studio with a kitchenette

on a mezzanine fl oor and

bathroom on the lower

level, next to a workshop.

Best of the old, wedded to the new

You’ll be hoping for

a sour taste in your

mouth if you have a look

at this Subiaco home.

Between the wrought-

iron front gate and the

veranda is a gorgeous

mature lemon tree.

The circa-1935 home is

a great example of how to

keep the best old bits while

adding a well-designed and

comfortable extension at

the back.

The timber fl oorboards

have been beautifully

maintained and look as

good as new.

Leadlight in and around

the front door completes

the heritage touch, as do

ceiling roses and arches.

There’s a big lounge

and formal dining area,

complete with cosy gas

fi replace, off the front hall.

The main bedroom is on

the other side, with french

doors that open onto the

veranda.

Hundreds of bottles of

wine – or preserved lem-

ons? – can fi t in the wine

cellar, which is on the way

to the modern part of the

house.

White splashback tiles

and cool grey fl oor tiles give

the kitchen a sleek look.

There are three more

bedrooms off another hall

at the back of the house.

Daglish train station is

at the end of the road and

Subiaco Theatre Gardens

are just around the corner.

The extension included

a loft with a cathedral roof

and would be a great study,

or kids’ play area.

Two cars fi t in the garage,

which is accessed from a

back lane off Hensman Road.

The house is on a

516sq.m block.

Water, water everywhere

This big Dalkeith home

turned out to be the base

for an aquatic playground

for a fortunate family.

“We purchased the

property in 2003, primarily

because of the location,”

one of the owners said.

“Having children who

loved water sports, the

proximity to the river was

fantastic.

“They could just walk

their canoes down.”

The Victoria Avenue

property is north-south

oriented, has plenty of

parking and a pool and

works for a growing family.

“The fl oor plan is so fl ex-

ible, having teenagers, the

separation ensured family

harmony when everyone

had friends over,” the

owner said.

Adults will love their

upstairs eyrie, with an ex-

pansive balcony and loads

of internal space.

There’s the expected

large walk-in robe, and

there are also two large

spaces separate to the

bedroom, which could be

a sitting room, nursery or

study.

The bedroom is full of

light, thanks to windows

on three sides.

The balcony is a great

spot from which to watch

the river – barely 100m

away – and Peppermint

Grove on the other side of

the water.

There are four more

bedrooms on the ground

fl oor, a huge formal lounge,

and a living room with a

gas fi replace.

The alfresco area, with a

barbecue and shade sails,

is ideal for entertaining.

The rear garage is ac-

cessed from Silvereye

Lane.

The owner said Waratah

Avenue was a short stroll

around the corner.

“We often walked to the

Dalkeith shopping centre

for a coffee or a family

meal,” the owner said.

“It is nice not always to

need to drive everywhere.”

The house is on a

923sq.m block.

Le Fanu goes to

overseas buyerMining entrepreneur Steve Wyatt has fi nally sold his Cottesloebeachfront mansion, Le Fanu, for $15.6million, after more than three years on the market. Mr Wyatt paid $4.25million for the heritage-listed home at 2 Salvado Street in 2009, and he spent a reported $11million on renovating it with Murano chandeliers, marble tiles and other high-end features. Agent Vivien Yap, of Ray White Dalkeith Claremont, had been seeking $16million to $17million for the 1492sq.m beachfront property. The sale of the fi ve-bedroom and six-bathroom home went through on July 22 but the buyer’s name is not yet recorded on Landgate. A local resident said it went to an overseas buyer, not to billionaire couple Andrew and Nicola Forrest who own two properties next door to it. The sale price of Le Fanu makes the Forrest’s $16.5million purchase of nearby Tukurua in 2015 look like a canny investment. Tukurua is on a 5000sq.m site, and the Forrests have renovated the heritage-listed mansion and built a family compound in front of it.

Quick result in Ord StreetA Nedlands house priced in the mid to high $1millions went under offer on Monday night after just 10 days on the market. Michelle Kerr, of DUET Property Group, said the renovated 3x1 at 26 Ord Street went to a Nedlands resident. Media hype about rising interesting rates

was not deterring some people from purchasing a home, she said. “Buyers seem to have returned in force following the interest market shock,” Ms Kerr said. “They seem to understand that this is the new landscape and now there is more energy back in the marketplace.” The 1940s weatherboard cottage, on a 696sq.m site, had been renovated over the years, including by the sellers who bought it in 2015 for $1.12million, realestate.com shows. The sellers said they had loved the location so much they were moving just a few streets away.

their gourmet food and kitchenware business, The Essential Ingredient, and went searching for an exotic location in which to semi-retire. “Broome fi tted the bill ideally with its picturesque township, relaxed tropical lifestyle and its proximity to iconic Cable Beach,” the couple told realestate.com writer Nicole Cox. Their 3ha property at 22 Lawrence Road, Waterbank, has a main residence, two guesthouses, a lagoon-style pool, helicopter pad, vegetable garden, shade houses and a boab-tree plantation. The

1970s residence was given a major makeover in 2008, which resulted in a Master Builders Association award. Now the couple are reluctantly selling their piece of paradise to return to Sydney. It’s on the market for $3million. For more details, phone Tony Hutchison on 0418 938 198.

Price cut for ‘House of Sin’ If you were heartbroken when hell-themed Perth city dance club Deville’s Pad closed its doors in 2015, there’s a house in Hollywoodwith your name on it. The eight-storey “House of Sin” at 2189 Sunset Plaza Drive is every bit as kitschy as the Deville’s of old, sporting a Playboy-esque grotto, an Egyptian-themed bedroom, and a two-storey nightclub. Golden nude busts are embedded in the walls and ceilings, alongside some fake volcanic rock that blurs the line between the gothic and the absurd. The house was owned previously by photographer Richard Franklin, who photographed more than 600 models and celebrities there. Other party starters include a poker room, a Moroccan tent on the roof, and a huge shower with room for a crowd. The house is listed for $14.8million, down from $20.6million last year.

Childcare knocked back“At the moment West

Leederville needs an addi-tional 150 childcare spaces to cater for future demand.

“Experience has proven that most neighbours will react negatively to a new childcare centre and ... will petition and lobby councillors to block progress.

“While this fear of change is understandable ... we see this dissipates when the neighbour-hood appreciates the minimal impact these centres have on their quality of living and real

estate prices.”The staff recommendation

for refusal was carried without discussion.

Speaking to another item re-garding limiting development contact with staff, mayor Keri Shannon said “spot rezoning” sought a windfall gain at the expense of ratepayers.

“That’s not fair,” she said.“Spot rezoning is things like

the day care centre on a resi-dential block of land.

“The reason why the devel-oper earlier was trying to put a day care centre on residen-tial land is because he gets it

cheaper.“We have some wonderful

day care centres on the other side of Northwood Street that service that community.”

A staff report to councillors said the one-storey home on the site of the proposed cen-tre was only ever used as a residential property.

Veterans forge future“A lot of people have been

reaching out. They’ll say ‘I’ve been discharged with PTSD, I’m losing it type thing, how do I get involved?’

“It’s a really good step for them to start feeling happy and com-fortable around other people.”

A study run by Murdoch University researcher Dr Danielle Mathersul to look at the effects of the program on mental health and reintegra-tion has been able to restart because of the new forging space.

It was put on hold last year after OVF were locked out of their Claremont workshop.

The 13 Brigade in Shenton Park has also offered up their space to OVF, and Mr Danson said he hoped that would come

to fruition soon.“We’d like to get back into

the area,” he said.Men’s Sheds in Claremont

and Bicton also reached out to provide them with equipment.

“Claremont made the two big tables and they passed on a lot of donations to us, like different woodworking tools and things like that,” he said.

“They gave us drills, drop saws, grinders.

“They’ll ring me and go, ‘We’ve got 2000 bolts, do you want them?’

“And then I’ll go down and fi ll my car up with bolts.

“Bicton made the hood for us, they’ve been really, really good.”

Mr Danson has also helped set up a weekly bowling group with veterans and emergency responders.

“It is a commercial pur-pose in a residential area,” he said. “We strongly object to it in its entirety.”

Councillor Fergus Bennett said he was siding with resi-dents who objected.

“[On] weekends, people should be able to enjoy their home without any concern of people visiting next door,” he said.

Councillor Ben Hodsdon said a display home would have no more impact than permanent residents receiv-ing visitors.

“Calling it a commercial use is a bit far-fetched,” he said. “There are no chickens being slaughtered at this venue.”

Mt Claremont councillor Hengameh Amiry said she was bewildered by the dis-cussion.

“Why is it so diffi cult in Dalkeith when it seems to be so easy everywhere else in Perth?” she asked.

So long, John Haselhurst

Mahatma Gandhi once asked why should we worry our heads over a thing that is inevitable? Why die before one’s death?

The certainty of death is ever-present.

Already this year in Hollywood we have lost two Goodfellas stars, Paul Sorvino (83) and Ray Liotta (67), the Big Chill’s William Hurt (71) and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’s Sidney Poitier (94).

Just last week we heard of the sad passing of Anne Heche (53), a glamorous US actress, in an horrifi c traffi c accident. Anne blessed a number of people by donating all of her organs.

Musically, what could be more devastating for us Aussies than the recent passing of our own nightingales, Judith Durham (79) and Olivia Newton-John (73)?

In sport, I’ve lost some dear and trusted lifelong mates.

Cricketing giants Shane Warne (52), Rod Marsh (74) and Andrew Symonds (46), all of whom I managed, Australian cricket selector Laurie Sawle (96) and South Australian footballing legend Neil Kerley (88) are also no longer with us.

So when I tell you that an old schoolmate of mine named John Haselhurst passed peacefully away last week, aged 78, after a brave and courageous fi ght with a demon called Parkinson’s disease, only a few of you would have heard of him.

But J. Haselhurst, accord-ing to his schoolboy coach (my old man), was one of the most promising young athletes going

around, a class footballer and sprinter.

Hasel fi rst arrived on my radar at Scotch College at a time when there was a rich vein of sporting talent at the school, particularly its football team.

He played in the fi rst ruck of the Scotch team in 1960 that boasted seven players who went on to play league football, three who played for their state, an all-Australian, one who went to Adelaide and was high in the voting for the Magarey Medal – and a full forward who managed to boot a few goals.

He was also a teammate of mine from 1964 to 67 at Subiaco. He played 42 games for the Maroons as a ruck rover who could pinch-hit in the ruck.

Hasel was a West Coast Eagles tragic, unsurprising because his eldest son Tony has headed up their merchandising department for many years.

Three of his special mates were former WA cricket captain

John Inverarity, international golfer Terry Gale and former Subiaco star Robbie (Blinkie) Burns, and it was always an honour to be invited to link up with them over coffee at Cottesloe beach.

Inver, Gale and Burns, along with Hasel’s sons Tony and Steve, Jamie Lutz, David De Vos, Grant MacMillan, Col Langer (another Subiaco man) and Don Bolto, were pallbearers at his funeral last Wednesday.

Lifelong friends, all.Blinkie cut his own cloth in

both football with Subiaco and as a quality writer with Perth’s Daily News.

Robbie was a classy left-footed half-forward fl anker, who banged a ball onto my chest lace-out many times back in the day, and later won two prestigious Doug Gilmour awards and many others for his sports journalism.

“Hasel was one of those hard-at-it blokes,” Blinkie said.

“He took his uncompromising combativeness onto the training track, so he was someone you tried to avoid when pairing up for the man-on-man exercises that were an integral component of the training regime of the era – you usually copped more bruising in one of those sessions than you did in a match.

“A former top schoolboy sprinter, he was fl eet of foot, but those foot skills didn’t include precise ball delivery out of the backline. By his own admission he was a lousy kick.

“Those playing in front of him lived in fear and trepidation as we camped under Hasel’s high mongrel punts, fully aware of the pack that was about to descend upon us from behind.

“The only comforting thought was that St John of God Hospital was just across the road from Subiaco Oval.”

Hasel was also an enthusiastic golfer who took up the game at a mature age with some en-couragement from his former schoolmate and lifelong friend Terry Gale, one of only two golfers who have made it into the Western Australian Hall of

Champions.Once, having a round of golf

at Sea View, Hasel scored a hole in one on the par three fourth.

Almost before his ball had settled in the bottom of the cup, he phoned Terry, full of exuberance, to skite about his triumph.

“A hole in one is not bad, mate,” Terry responded.

“You’ve only got to get another 25 to catch me.”

Very droll.Inver, like Blinkie and Terry,

was at Hasel’s side since his school days.

“Hasel was a stylish and strong runner,” he said.

“He was an Inters winner and his 51.5 seconds for the 440 yards (about eight metres longer than 400 metres) was an excellent run.”

Col Langer, another who became Hasel’s teammate at Subiaco, delights in telling how when playing cricket for Aquinas he smashed a Haselhurst bouncer over fi ne leg for six.

Inver said Hasel was not pleased about that, and even more displeased when he was taken off in a Darlot Cup match after an opening spell of 3 for 0 from four overs and replaced by his captain’s innocuous fi nger-spinners.

Inver said: “Hasel used to re-mind me often of this captaincy error more than 60 years ago.”

My own tribute to Hasel is this article, and to end it poignantly, let me turn to my favourite writer, Mark Twain.

“Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-fi lled lives: Similarly be that kind of friend for your friends,” wrote Twain.

Fits Hasel to a T. RIP, mate.

THE SPORTING

Slater’s just

taking liberties

Kelly Slater sponsors his own contest on a tropical is-land paradise and unshackles his Frankenstein monster to frighten the village kids.

Last weekend Australian Nathan “Hog” Hedge, 43, was Voldemort in Slater’s version of Deathly Hollows, Slater’s som-nambulist from The Cabinet of Dr Caligari or better still the all-Aussie outdoor adventure Razorback.

Fifty-year-old Slater’s choice was a master stroke of genius, a hi-def horror-show in techni-colour tubevision, a diabolical trap set by an accomplished hunter and strategist to snare the world’s top two surfers in a pit with jagged stakes and a wild boar.

Toledo was served up like sashimi on the Teahupo’o chop-ping block as the appetiser and Jack Robinson for the hearty main course.

Robinson backed the Hog into a combo corner with fi ve minutes to go, but that did nothing to stop the ravenous beast from devouring him in two bites.

Take that, young people.

Critically late, rail-knifi ng drops into misty arches, Hedge was riding shotgun, shooting from the lip and sporting a hefty belt of shrunken egos by day’s end.

The spell broke next day and the mirage of a fi nal with surfers of a combined age of 93 evapo-rated in the fl ickering aerosol mist of Tahitian tube dust.

Back to the crypt for the Hog, awaiting his summons from Slater Caligari again next year.

The tube was the real win-ner and reward for the patient faithful.

Clutch calls, tight heats, last minute steals and fantastical tube riding but, in the end, inconsequential.

What does street cred matter if you can hoist the world title cup over your head.

Toledo has a lot riding on it, the most to lose.

Robinson sits comfortably in second, the most at ease.

For as long as people have created art they have used it for social com-mentary – to share ideas, highlight wrongdoings and promote good things.

That is why one of the main win-ners this week is Jessica Oldmeadow’s campaign drawing about saving Fremantle’s so-called “Containbow”.

Artist Marcus Canning’s colourful rainbow sculpture of shipping con-tainers has welcomed people into the port city since 2016, and it is going to be moved to make way for the new bridge project.

Jess, 10, from North Fremantle, has drawn a picture of people stand-ing around the Containbow with

banners protesting its removal and campaigning to keep it. It is what we must all do to protect original art. Well done, Jessica.

Maybe the sculpture could do with some of the luck conjured up in our other main winner’s work of art. Hands are the most difficult things to draw but Elise Kitson, 11, of Claremont, has skilfully drawn elegant and manicured hands shaking dice. It is called Chance and Luck.

There were some other fabulous ideas, including Lachie’s madly col-ourful robot party, Lila’s dangerously leaning tower, Lucas’s snack bowl of chips, and Monte’s cute square-eared mouse.
