Mr Barker said he would like to see higher rates levied on proper- ties owned by foreigners. LandCorp is promoting the Claremont Football Oval, and other projects, in its 28-page foreign investors’ guide. “The Town of Claremont works hard to create a sense of community,” Mr Barker said. “This is a large development and therefore the elements which go to creating a successful community will be destroyed if significant overseas ownership results because of the LandCorp push.” Mr Barker said the government’s agency had a greater responsibility than creating sales at any cost. “In a large-scale development such as this, LandCorp has a special responsibility to create a cohesive community environment,” he said. “Their action in attempting to attract absentee landlords is not welcomed in Claremont, as it is not in our residents’ best interests. “I believe it is time for local authorities in WA to rate overseas investor-owned properties differently from those owned locally.” Last year the POST revealed developer Pindan was offering • Please turn to page 93 Our first Gallipoli flag is back By LINDA CALLAGHAN The first flag flown at Gallipoli as the sun rose on Anzac Cove is back home and on show in Nedlands, thanks to a woman’s quest halfway around the world. The Red Cross flag was raised by the stretcher bearers of the 3rd Field Ambulance group who followed the first troops ashore within about half an hour of the first landing exactly 100 years ago today. Curator Wendy Lugg discovered the flag, stained by Gallipoli soil, had survived when she began putting together an exhibition for the Royal WA Historical Society in Broadway, Nedlands. Now there is a campaign to raise about $35,000 to keep it in Australia. “There are lots of mysteries about where this flag was for many years,” she said. About 30 years ago it was saved from the tip by a 16-yearold teenager sent up to clear the roof space at Beatty Park pool. “If it had not been for his curiosity and sensitivity it would have been lost forever. “No one knows how it came to be at Beatty Park. “The young pool attendant found it in box and said to his boss, ‘We should not throw this away, can I have it?’” • Please turn to page 84 Long, mysterious trip home … Museum curator Wendy Lugg shows off the Gallipoli flag on show at the Royal WA Historical Society in Broadway, • Johnno never glorified war – page 2 Nedlands.

Councillor Sally Pyvis said the 40kmh limit for the commercial beachfront section should be extended for Marine Parade’s entire length. She said its appeal as a scenic drive should be discouraged and Here’s where we go… instead the beachfront should be promoted as a destination. She had no support, but after 56 requests for traffic calming in the street, council staff investigations revealed a surprisingly big number of traffic accidents along the beachfront strip. The high rate of cycling accidents, cars hitting other cars while parking, rear-end collisions and pedestrians being struck on crosswalks was revealed in a long report by council engineer Doug Elkins. Many of the cycling accidents were not the fault of car drivers – cyclists running into the backs of cars, hitting pedestrians, or running off the road. In four incidents, cyclists were “doored” while riding past parked cars. Some accidents were caused when car drivers turned in front of cyclists, with serious outcomes. They occurred when drivers said they had failed to see the cyclists. • Please turn to page 84 high $1 millions 9 Dumfries Road, Floreat 5 2 2 865 sqm Sensational Space & Style This as new delightful home serves up abundant space and designer style y for an indulgent family lifestyle.

Deadline Sad to see Blair go Climate ‘confusionist’ link to uni think tank What is happening at the University of UWA? Universities are not merely places of learning. As well as creators of knowledge, they are, or are supposed to be, moral communities guided by principle. Their appointments and activities should also be transparent and accountable and be in the interests of society, not solely their pecuniary interest. It was disturbing, therefore, that UWA sought to allow the destruction of urban bush through its sale, in doing so risking the survival of species through loss of habitat. Now, with a $4 million grant from the federal education budget, UWA vice-chancellor Paul Johnson has seemingly independently agreed to establish a new department at the business school, the Australian Consensus Centre, with links to Bjorn Lomborg, a political scientist with no qualification in economics or science. Why were senior staff in the business school kept in the dark? Particularly when Dr Lomborg is a notorious and controversial climate confusionist. In my view it is a political move, concocted to provide the federal government with cover to justify inaction on climate change and reducing foreign aid. In my opinion, it is a sell-out, an unethical and unprincipled decision that puts political expediency and cash ahead of principles and undermines the standing and credibility of the university.

[email protected] * Roy Morgan Research September 2014 www.postnewspapers.com.au After seeing the news about the Aldi purchase of the Captain Stirling Shopping Centre, I went down to the IGA this morning to visit one of the owners, Blair Morgan, and literally had to stand in line to await my opportunity to express my sadness to him, such is the regard he, Tony and their staff are held in. Their service and service to the community are outstanding and I hope that Aldi acknowledges this in the weeks and months ahead. The entire community will be very interested in the future development. Noel Youngman Colin Street, Dalkeith Austin’s a great read West Leederville reader John Townsend’s grandfather, Gallipoli veteran Ewart (Johnno) Johnson, made the POST’s front page 27 years ago. Thanks to the POST for hiring Austin Robertson to write his weekly articles. Last week’s, on Richie Benaud’s death, along with Austin’s reminiscences from World Series Cricket days, was a standout. I have never met Austin, but while he may not be rich in dollar terms these days, he is extremely wealthy in life experience. May he continue to pen these articles for years to come. Russell Woolley Cambridge Street, Wembley Johnno would never glorify war The front page of the POST’s Anzac Day edition in 1988 featured my grandfather, Ewart Johnson (Johnno), who was about to celebrate his 100th birthday but said he would “rather go back into the line” at Gallipoli than face the party planned by his family. Johnno died a week or two after that party but, 27 years on, my memory of him lives on as though his 100th birthday was yesterday. Not one for commemorating Anzac Day – which he put down to copping bullets in the knee and arm as he waded ashore at the Gallipoli landing and a lack of interest in glorifying the war he spent four years surviving – he nonetheless had dozens of tales to tell of his time in the 3rd Field Ambulance. Tales of his colleague Simpson, of donkey fame, with whom my grandfather and his mates were clearly not enamoured. Tales of incompetent senior officers sometimes found with wounds delivered from the Allied lines and not the enemy’s. Tales of the exotic foreigners he DUNG HO met in Egypt, Greece and France; the American major league baseball pitcher he encountered in 1918 who could make a worn tennis ball swerve as though by magic; the unforgettable taste of tinned bully beef; the accidental meeting with his uncle who had enlisted in the British army under an assumed name; driving an ambulance over dead bodies in muddy brick-red fields that had once been villages, pulverised by repeated artillery barrages. Johnno was never bitter about the war, nor did he have any animosity towards the enemy. He had a job to do and did it as best he could. When it was all over, he got a job, raised a family and just got on with life. Like so many of his colleagues in 1915 and the years since then, Johnno never sought any credit or recognition for his contribution, yet I will have one main thought when I remember him at the dawn service today.

Claremont RSL president Geoff McClements welcomes James Mazza, on trumpet, and David Cusworth, on bugle, to the Claremont war memorial. Photo: Billie Fairclough POSTies play Last Post Two Anzac buglers have strong connections to the POST. James Mazza (19) will play at the 7am service for Shenton Park RSL, where he has played for the past four years. James, a UWA engineering student and John XXIII College graduate, is the son of POST property editor Julie Bailey. And POST subeditor David Cusworth (56) will play at 7.30am at the Claremont war memorial, on the corner of Stirling Highway and Bay View Terrace. The two buglers this week met Claremont RSL president Geoff McClements, a 92-year-old veteran of the Pacific naval campaign during World War II, whose father and four uncles served in the 10th Light Horse in World War I. “We could ill afford to lose all those men [in World War I],” Geoff said. “The population of WA was far less than one million.” He said more people would take notice of Anzac Day this year because of the centenary of the Gallipoli landings. “We’ll get a big crowd here,” he said. “We’ve got the service at 7.30am, a flyover by the RAAF at 8 o’clock, and we’ve got the big screen in the park and we’ll be putting the dawn service from Gallipoli on the screen.” Across WA the number of commemorations has grown, and the RSL is encouraging young people to take up the bugle to meet demand. RSL spokesman John Arthur said bugles had been imported for schools. “When the state RSL president Graham Edwards travelled around high schools, he noticed the lack of bugles in the schools, so we imported 20 from Prague and talked to schools with music programs and we’ve provided bugles to them,” he said. One of those schools was Shenton College. “We are working on an ac- Sawfish threat to owner By DAVID COHEN A woman waved a metrelong sawfish bill in another woman’s face in West Leederville on Monday. The victim (50) was visiting her investment property in Brighton Street at 10.30am for a home-open. Another woman approached her then swung the bill – which has sharp teeth on both sides – at her head. The victim told police the woman stopped the swing short of her face. Police are looking for a medium-built woman aged about 30 with brown hair and eyes who was wearing a blue shirt and pants. She could be charged with carrying or possessing a weapon – other than a controlled or prohibited weapon – with intent to cause fear.

It’s always a very nice morning down at the RSL.” James recently discovered that his great-grandfather, James Daly, served at Gallipoli and Pozieres in France. He died in 1929 aged 39. As a result, his daughter, Maureen – James’s paternal grandmother – was raised as a legacy child, boarding at New Norcia. James’s uncle, Anthony Mazza, said the Gallipoli connection had been lost for so long because James Daly’s four children were very young when he died and the next generation was born long after his death. “So the message to any person whose grandfather or great-grandfather fought in World War I and died before you were born is carefully check his war service records because, like James Daly’s grandchildren, you might make a surprising discovery,” he said. • The Last Post explained – p19 The Liver Centre WESTERN AUSTRALIA Treating all Liver Conditions in Adults & Children t-JWFS$BODFSt'BUUZ-JWFS%JTFBTF t7JSBM)FQBUJUJT t"COPSNBM-JWFS'VODUJPO5FTUT t"MDPIPMJD-JWFS%JTFBTFt$JSSIPTJT t#FOJHO-FTJPOT$ZTUT t/FPOBUBM$IJMEIPPE-JWFS%JTFBTFT t(BMMTUPOFT#JMJBSZ%JTPSEFST t%JFUFUJD4FSWJDFT t(BTUSPFOUFSPMPHZ4FSWJDFT $PMPSFDUBMDBODFSTDSFFOJOH 0QFOBDDFTTFOEPTDPQZ 5FM 'BY &NBJMXFMDPNF!UIFMJWFSDFOUSFXBDPNBV 7JTJUVTBUXXXUIFMJWFSDFOUSFXBDPNBV At least one lease has nine years to run. “They are going to honour present leases,” a spokeswoman for the company said. The supermarket chain bought the centre, off Stirling Highway, for an estimate of more than $9.7million. The announcement came less than a week after Nedlands city planners denied they had been approached by or had any discussions with the company. Real estate agent Tony Morgan, who holds the franchise for the IGA supermarket in the centre, said: “It is as big a surprise to me as to anyone. “They have not approached any of the leaseholders that I know of and there have been no discussions with us. “It is frustrating.” He said there were nine years to run on the IGA lease. “I would be surprised if they opened while we were there.” Other business owners, who reputedly have shorter leases, did not want to talk about the new owners. After the announcement, Nedlands mayor Max Hipkins said an architect had talked to council staff about the site but it was not known if he worked for Aldi or was a freelancer who had drawn up a scheme to put to the company. Mr Hipkins said the architect’s plan showed an underground carpark and a drawing of an Aldi store. Aldi, the no-frills retailer, announced last year it planned a $450million investment to open up in WA and South Australia. It already has 14 planning applications lodged across WA and plans to open stores by Christmas next year. Company representatives talked to Subiaco councillors about their ideas last year. Aldi already has stores in other states. Its Nedlands store would offer between 15 and 20 jobs, the company said. Aldi director Viktor Jakupec said: “The acquisition of the Nedlands site is an exciting step forward. “We’re finding WA shoppers are becoming more and more curious about what we have to offer.” Nedlands councillors last week agreed to urge the council to pay • Please turn to page 84 LOOKING FOR A PROPERTY MANAGER?

University of WA students are campaigning to stop the university pocketing a $4million federal government handout for a think tank linked to a controversial climate sceptic. The UWA Student Guild said vice-chancellor Paul Johnson should reject the funding for the Australian Consensus Centre, which was recently established as part Bjorn Lomborg of the business school. The guild also wants Professor Johnson to break off any talks or plans to link with political scientist Bjorn Lomborg, who is the director of the Copenhagen Consensus Centre. The UWA centre will adopt methods Professor Lomborg uses in his Copenhagen think tank. “Dr Lomborg has been internationally criticised and very controversial,” guild president Lizzy O’Shea said. “Many believe his research downplays the effects of climate change and calls for inaction. “His track record with the academic community has already started to harm UWA’s world-class reputation.” Ms O’Shea said it was astonishing that the federal government had managed to find $4million to support the ACC when it had cut funding to the Climate Commission and CSIRO. “I believe this is politically motivated, and it is an insult to the staff and students of UWA, as well as the scientific community in Australia,” she said. “I am concerned by Professor Johnson’s comment [in the Guardian newspaper] that it is difficult to get federal funding across to WA – no university should compromise their academic integrity.” Students, staff and graduates have expressed their outrage through many posts and comments on the UWA Facebook page. A petition organised by a student group called “Say no to Bjorn Lomborg” had attracted more than 4500 signatures, a spokesperson said. “ P L C I n s p i r e d m e to Shape better lives “ Kate Stannage Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon, Class of 1989 Kate Stannage was determined to become an orthopaedic surgeon since she was in Year 8 at PLC.

If Anaeco’s DiCom plant gets up and running, Claremont, Cottesloe, Mosman Park, Peppermint Grove, Subiaco and Stirling councils will send it their waste, which is currently dumped in landfill in Rockingham. In a financial report posted on its website this week, Anaeco Ltd says it is losing money and relying on recent and coming injections of cash to deliver and finish the DiCom plant at the Brockway Transfer Station, on the corner of Brockway Road and Lemnos Street. Cash-strapped Anaeco designed and developed the DiCom plant – which aims to turn 75% of household rubbish into compost and bio-gas – for the Western Metropolitan Regional Council (WMRC). After a successful scaled-down trial five years ago, the full-size DiCom plant was built in 2013. But major operational delays and setbacks have stretched the company’s bank account. “During February 2015 the group entered into a funding agreement to borrow $4.6million from Monadelphous Group Ltd,” Anaeco said in its report for the second half of 2014. Monadelphous, a big construction company in Perth which had sales of more than $1billion in six months last year, built the DiCom plant. Anaeco, which claims to have invested $150million in its DiCom technology over 15 years, must repay the loan before December 31. The company’s repayment to Monadelphous is estimated to be $7.6million. Anaeco expects to get a cash refund of more than $3million through a government research and development tax break. Anaeco needs to prove the plant – which is the first of its kind in the world – works so that it can sell the licence for the technology to customers with deep pockets, including governments and corporations.

A new lower price limit for applications to development assessment panels (DAPs) seems to mirror a warning from Local Government Minister Tony Simpson last year that councils would lose control of planning if they did not go along with mergers. “If you don’t go on the journey with us ... you’ll wake up one day and you’ll be putting a smiley face on every application to say you’ve looked at it but have no power to deal with it,” Mr Simpson said at a Bunbury Chamber of Commerce and Industry lunch. Nedlands mayor Max Hipkins described the change as payback. ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ more than just handymen WILL YOUR FAMILY BE PROVIDED FOR? Mr Day has lowered the threshold at which builders can opt to have projects assessed by DAPs instead of councils from $3million to $2million. Mr Day also said that the change, which will come into force on May 1, would give developers greater freedom and create a more transparent planning system. The Subiaco-based developers’ group, Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA), said the sector had asked for the change. “The changes mean that at the lower end developers can choose to go with a DAP rather than being restricted to the local government,” said UDIA chief executive Debra Goostrey. “[This] is very positive as the industry has the opportunity to either work with the local government or seek approval from a DAP for a far greater range of projects,” she said. “This is an outcome sought by industry.” Mr Day said: “By adjusting the thresholds, the planning system is providing applicants with more flexibility to choose whether their application is determined by a DAP or the relevant local government. “At a community level, the reduction of the opt-in threshold recognises that some smallerpriced developments may benefit from being reviewed by an independent panel. • Please turn to page 84 Will your estate be going to the right people ?

Following the Subiaco commemoration on Saturday morning, a small group will break off to gather at the grave of Tipperary-born Martin O’Meara. O’Meara migrated to Australia about 1911 and was working as a railway sleeper cutter in Collie when he enlisted with the 16th Infantry Battalion. He narrowly missed serving in the Gallipoli campaign but served in France, where he was decorated. Over the course of four days in August 1916 at Pozieres, the sturdily built O’Meara served as a stretcher bearer and pulled at least 25 wounded Diggers to safety from no-man’s-land while under constant and heavy artillery and machine-gun fire. He also carried water and supplies to troops and munitions. “He showed throughout an utter contempt for danger and undoubtedly saved many lives,” his citation said. O’Meara went on to serve until the end of the war and was wounded on three separate occasions. He was unmarried. Not long after he returned to Australia in 1918, O’Meara was admitted to Claremont Mental Hospital’s Montgomery Hall, where he would spend the rest of his life with a condition after O’Meara. There is a plaque for him at the Flame of Remembrance in King’s Park. A sign was placed near his grave last year when it became a feature of a historical trail through Karrakatta. Meanwhile, an Irish Australian reader in Cottesloe contacted the POST last week to point out that thousands of Irishmen, like their Anzac counterparts, fought at Gallipoli as volunteers, sometimes side by side with Diggers. Some 3411 Irishmen from the 10th Irish Division (from what is now the Republic of Ireland) and the 36th (Ulster) Division died during the Gallipoli campaign. which could lead to violent outbursts. He spent 17 years in a straitjacket, unattended for long periods. The conditions in which he was held sparked a parliamentary inquiry, but little changed. He was too sick to attend an Armistice Day function in 1929 for the state’s Victoria Cross winners. He died on December 20, 1935, shortly before he would have turned 50. He was buried with full military honours, and three other VC winners, including Cliff Sadlier from Subiaco, were mourners at his service.

Hip-hop teacher Dayna Osborne is showing Floreat Park Primary School students some interesting moves for a whole-school performance. “I may be biased, but I think hip-hop is the easiest to learn and it appeals to boys and girls,” Dayna said. The school will be taking part in a nationwide screen-free challenge from May 8 to 10. They will swap computer time for outdoor and family activities. They will also be collecting sponsors to raise money for a natural playground at the school. It will be built over three years and reflect the history of Floreat by having areas that use boulders to mirror the quarry, the plank road and the former drive-in movie theatre in an amphitheatre. Wearne, the valuable waterfront aged-care home in Cottesloe, would cost $87-90million to rebuild to modern standards, councillor Rob Rowell said this week. Community organisation Curtin Care, which rents the site at the southern end of Marine Parade for a nominal sum, is seeking tenure over the land so it can borrow the money needed. But the big site, valued at $32million, could also be developed for high-density apartments to raise funds for providing aged care in Wearne, which is jointly owned by Cottesloe, Mosman Park, Peppermint Grove and Claremont councils. Mr Rowell said that the four municipalities had a big demand for aged care. “It’s a service to our community, not simply to use it to build something to make money from,” he told a meeting of the council’s works and corporate service committee this week. “We need it for aged care.” The decision was one of the most complex faced by the council in the mid to short term, an administration report told the council. Mayor Jo Dawkins said that if the site was handed over to Curtin Care, the group would have the right to on-sell the land. The committee decided to recommend to the full council that it advertise a business plan with the two options for disposing of the land put by Curtin Care. The council administration said that advertising the options did not mean the council supported either. The law prevents it from considering the business plan until it is submitted.

Photo: Billie Fairclough $100m plan for Wearne By DAVID HUDLESTON The four councils that own Wearne Hostel, in Cottesloe, could be exposed to huge future costs to meet the demands of the western suburbs’ growing and rapidly ageing population. The hostel is now operated by community-based association Curtin Aged Person Homes (CAPH), trading as Curtin Care, which is seeking either ownership of the land or a 99-year lease to enable it to borrow and build. Curtin Care planned to spend between $80million and $100million developing the site to meet the new legal requirements for aged care. CAPH was established 30 years ago to provide aged care to residents of Cottesloe, Claremont, Peppermint Grove and Mosman Park on a not-forprofit basis. It is now run by a voluntary eight-member board and association membership is open to residents of the four council areas. “Originally it was aged care run by the councils but it was a huge liability cost-wise and the councils formed CAPH to run the business,” chairman David Cox said this week. “Every other council in Australia is getting out of aged care because of the high cost.” Mr Cox was responding to recent Mosman Park ratepayers’ worries about the future of the council’s share in Wearne Hostel. He said aged-care law changes last July meant Wearne’s hostel no longer met legal requirements and Curtin Care now had to cater for high and low-care residents, independent living and dementia care. “That raises big problems because we need to have bigger corridors, bigger rooms and bigger doors,” Mr Cox said. “The whole purpose of this redevelopment is to provide newer services and better facilities the community can use. “But we cannot do that without any security over the land.” He said the existing arrangements did not permit extensive redevelopment, so Curtin Care was seeking to have the land transferred under the same conditions as the original transfer to the four councils or a 99-year lease. “If the councils continue owning the land they could have an obligation to assist and spend money,” he said. “And that money is not going to be attractive to them. “The legislative requirements are massive and there is also personal liability on the councillors. “The City of South Perth closed its age care because it was too much hassle. “And all the councils in Victoria are moving out of aged care because it is such a massive liability. “There are huge risks involved in aged care.” Mr Cox said Curtin Care had • Please turn to page 93 KƉĞŶDŽƌŶŝŶŐ dŽƵƌƐ|/ŶĨŽƌŵĂƟŽŶ|DŽƌŶŝŶŐdĞĂ Travelling to BALI?

If you have restored an old house – whether it’s a humble worker’s cottage near the railway or a grand beauty like this one in Cottesloe – Rose Cullen would like to hear from you. Rose loves a restoration drama If you have ever fallen in love with an old house and fixed it up, Rose Cullen would like to hear from you. Hours spent sanding original timberwork, searching for replacement period building materials and agonising over paint charts – if this sounds familiar, you have probably restored, renovated or conserved an old house. Rose a history PhD student from the University of Sydney, is coming to Perth to research caring for old houses in Australia since the early 1960s. She is looking at private individuals choosing to care for old houses with respect for their history. All sorts of private projects, large and small, humble and grand, are relevant to Rose’s project. She says she is interested in how and why older houses have been rejuvenated by everyday Australians. “What motivated people to take on these projects?,” she said. “How did they preserve or change their old houses? “What challenges did they face?’ She said repairing older houses had been an increasing trend in Australia since Rose Cullen the 1960s, when we had begun to value our architectural heritage. “The private homeowner plays a significant role in the preservation of Australia’s built heritage by repairing older houses and ensuring they are lived in and loved,” she said. In her archival research so far, Rose has found stories of people caring for old houses in Perth, but would like to find out more. She is visiting Perth from May 7 to 13 and hopes to conduct oral history interviews with people who have been involved in restoring or conserving private houses, either their own houses or professionally. She began the project when she came across photographs from a historic building restoration competition run in 1962. She was fascinated to find that that more than two-thirds of the entries in this competition involved private houses, and many entrants described in detail what they had done to their homes to repair them, the period features they loved about them, and sometimes some of the history of the houses. So far Rose has done research in Sydney, Brisbane, Ipswich, Melbourne, Ballarat, Adelaide, Hobart and Launceston. “I am constantly amazed at the lengths that some people will go to to restore or conserve their older houses: doing research, sourcing special materials or putting in physical labour,” she said. If you have a story to share about restoring or conserving an old house in Australia some time in the past 50 years, no matter how small or large, Rose would love to hear from you.

Dr Tulloch had argued for extending the dog exercise areas at Lake Claremont and Cresswell Park. “There are 400 dog owners in Claremont,” he said. “It seems reasonable we should provide some facilities.” Councillor Peter Browne agreed. “There should not be any losers, only winners,” he said. But Ms Wood was not in favour. “Dog people here seem to have the upper hand,” she said. “Are we creating a bush area with a dog park? “That’s what will happen. “I don’t want that … it will look like something out of 101 Dalmatians. “I often see people lying on the grass paying a lot of attention to each other. “I don’t think people want dogs coming up and eating their pork pies.” Councillor Anita Lorenz moved the motion be referred back to council administration, and the vote was 4-3.

All the setbacks for the Future Housing Options will be in the Town Planning Scheme and, as such, will not be subject to negotiation or variation. Setbacks for single houses on R12.5 corner lots in City Beach and Floreat (subject to discretionary variation) Setbacks for the Future Housing Options have been redistributed to be fairer between neighbours and to promote an open streetscape. Please refer to the Guide to Streetscape Policy to see how this works. Front of house 6m Front verandah 4m Secondary street 3.75m City Beach 4.5m Floreat Rear 6m Side boundary as little as 1.0m Boundary wall 1.8m high solid wall for 60% of the secondary street. In addition, a single house on a corner lot often has a solid wall more than 1.8m high running along the secondary street, which impacts on the streetscape. Each of the Future Housing Options must have open fencing on every street boundary, which will promote a more attractive streetscape. The combination of equalising setbacks and mandating open fencing (and requiring single storey development in the case of the Corner Lot Three Dwellings option) is designed to reduce the impact of buildings on neighbouring properties and the street, and to retain the open streetscapes of City Beach and Floreat. Single House under the R-Codes 1m (minimum) 1m (minimum) 6m 3.75m* 6m *4.5m Floreat Front of House Secondary Street 4m Solid Boundary Wall Verandah permitted Front of House 6m Verandah permitted Open style fencing 3.75m* *4.5m Floreat 6m Solid Boundary Wall 4m Open style fencing Verge Area Verge Area Secondary Street When a new single house is built on a corner lot, the neighbouring properties have no say as to which street will be the primary street and which will be the secondary street for a new house.

He said the council had immense gratitude to Mr Wynne, who is the school’s second-longest serving principal. Mr Wynne said: “It has been a very good conversation between the council and me. “I look forward to the challenges ahead.” Christ Church Grammar School’s council decided not to renew principal Garth Wynne’s contract this week. The state-of-the-art high-performance centre will be the training ground for tomorrow’s sporting champions. Help on the road to Rio A better chance to represent Australia was what excited two local Rio Olympic Games prospects at the opening of a new training centre in Mt Claremont this week. Pole vaulters Nina Kennedy and Emma Philippe met Premier Colin Barnett at the official opening, but their excitement was all about working hard to qualify for the Olympics squad. Nina (18) and Emma (17) were keen to check out the $33.7 million WA Institute of Sport high-performance sports centre behind their old home, previously Challenge Stadium. Nina, a former Presbyterian Pole vaulters Nina Kennedy, left, and Emma Philippe explained the challenges of their sport to Premier Colin Barnett at the centre’s opening. Ladies’ College student, said pole vaulting was a challenge in every way, mentally and physically. Emma who won a sports scholarship to Greenwood High School, said: “It is not like any other sport. There are so many elements to making a jump.” About 100 staff and government officials were at the centre for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Sports Minister Mia Davies said WA had led the way when it became the first state with its own sports institute 30 years ago. “In 1984, WA set a very high standard,” she said. “We led the field. “Today, we raised the bar.” She said it was a spectacular facility that would cater for elite athletes, Olympians and Paralympians. It has facilities for indoor javelin throwing, a five-lane runway, gym and recovery pools and physiotherapy rooms. 3 in 1 Market @ SHOWGROUNDS • Handmade Crafts • Antiques & Collectables • Polka Dot Vintage Market CHILDREN 317 YEARS OF AGE Mr Wynne’s 15-year career at the Claremont school will finish at the end of the year. Council chairman John Poynton said he hoped the new headmaster would be in place by the start of next year. “The school council, after discussions with Garth, has decided that after 15 years of exemplary service and at the conclusion of Garth’s third contract, this is a logical point for leadership renewal,” Mr Poynton said.

Deadline How is uniform infill diversity? Forever young in Daglish I thank Subiaco council for the newest addition to our local park, the table tennis “table”. My husband and I had a wonderful time recapturing our youth! We even have a record of 20 consecutive hits (not bad in the wind!), which we intend to beat. I do hope people will respect it and let us all enjoy playing. Stef and Pete Hayward Daglish readers Stef and Pete Hayward have a great time playing table Munsie Avenue, Daglish tennis on the new “table” in Cliff Sadlier Park. Who will pay if my home becomes damaged? The 16-storey development on the old Pavilion site was approved by the DAP on February 25 after years of resistance and only after Subiaco council was ordered to rezone the site. The approval included 38 conditions and 25 recommendations, intended for structural protection of the precinct (Subiaco Hotel, Regal Theatre, Catherine Street terrace houses). Catherine Street’s 16 owners had commissioned an expert report, resulting in a list of protective conditions being accepted and incorporated by the council and then the DAP. At the council’s February 25 meeting, the developer’s lawyer said the firm would honour its obligation to make dilapidation reports and rectify any damage caused by construction. He said it in front of a packed gallery. The meeting was recorded. Next, we read in the POST that seven days after the ap- proval, the developers were taking the DAP to the State Administrative Tribunal to have the protective conditions removed! The Catherine Street owners have no access to any information; it is all confidential. If conditions are removed, they are likely to face huge repair bills. My insurer advised that in case of damage I would not be covered, nor will my insurer represent me, so I will have to fend for myself. I have contacted DAP, SAT and Planning Minister John Day and everyone is very sympathetic. I’ve been advised to “trust the system” and “let the system go through its course”, because there is nothing I can do. I find it scandalous that the system (including judicial recourse) is apparently set to accommodate the developer, and the residents are excluded (and financially penalised) under pretext of confidentiality. It is paramount that the challenged conditions are revealed and the public are allowed to represent their interest. We need firm assurance from the Minister and the government that damage to nearby properties will be covered. That is the only way we can trust the system that, so far, we have had every reason to deeply mistrust. Ines Janca Catherine Street, Subiaco Pamela van der Meulen and David Hall, both of whom live outside the affected are, are very keen that Cambridge should embrace higher density (Letters, POST, April 18). Mr Hall (“Diversity the key”) accuses residents of objecting to diversity, while Ms van der Meulen (“Keep calm, Cambridge”) thinks we are old fashioned in preferring our “1920s ... garden suburbs” (actually part of the 50s and 60s), probably because she also thinks we are rejecting diversity, that mantra which expresses the current zeitgeist. She also thinks we have to accept infill, presumably because she had it forced upon her. Both are missing the point, as are Coast ward councillors Sonia Grinceri and Colin Walker (“Options open on Cambridge infill”, Letters, POST, April 18). Cambridge residents are embracing diversity wholeheartedly. Our federal, state, city, town and ward divisions and structures are surely there to accommodate the reality that we do not all think the same, or have the same needs and desires, and to avoid a central diktat forced on those who choose to live differently. We think a city as large as Perth should be able to offer residents a choice of environments in which to live: leafy hill suburbs with city views, highrise city apartments, urban density in suburbs like Leederville, and garden suburbs in Floreat and City Beach. It is narrow minded, retrograde and destructive thinking that posits that every suburb should be subject to similar infill. The broad minded and thoughtful residents of the western part of Cambridge are opposed to orthodox uniformity masquerading as diversity. We particularly resent politicians and councillors who should accommodate different viewpoints participating in a groupthink march to uniformity detrimental to our quality of life. My daughters choose to live in the Oxford Street precinct; I choose to live in Floreat. Surely sensible planning should be able to embrace such a variety of choices. Paddy Hanrahan Clanmel Road, Floreat It’s not Perth, Subiaco or Nedlands uni We are indebted to our eminent historian, Emeritus Professor Martyn Webb, for his succinct historical overview of how Crawley was chosen as the permanent site for the University of WA (“Town and gown kept separate”, letters, POST, April 18). Section 5 of the University of WA Act of 1904 refers specifically to the endowment of land for a state university. The UWA Act of 1911, as well as appointing the governor of WA as “the Visitor”, grants him or her certain nominated duties attached to the role. In my experience, I have never seen the university referred to as the Perth, Subiaco or Nedlands university. So why the push today to make the Crawley site part of a greater Perth? Clearly, the Parliament of the day, in setting aside the Crawley endowment land, deemed that that site should be where the state university for all Western Australians be located – on its own land at Crawley.

Deadline No getting away from loud concert at Somerville This is an open letter to Subiaco council and to the University of WA. I have been a Nedlands resident for more than 20 years. I am writing to make a formal complaint about the noise of RTRFM’s In the Pines concert at Somerville Auditorium, UWA, on Sunday, April 19. It is absolutely outrageous that an event, good though it may be in its place, is allowed to happen in a residential area. Programming this type of noisy event shows a complete and utter disregard for Nedlands residents. There are elderly residents who need to rest; there are shift workers who need their rest; then there are the rest of us who love just a bit of quiet time away from the rush of everyday life. The bottom line is that if you choose to go to a concert event you can leave – but the residents of the area cannot. Perhaps we should go and sit inside Subiaco mayor Heather Henderson’s house or in her backyard and play loud, intrusive music for 11 hours, because that is what it was like for us. Residents can have their lives completely disrupted by such events. I wonder if anyone from the council or the UWA chancellery went anywhere near this event. I very much doubt it – at least not for 11 hours! This event was far too loud and intrusive and it would not have taken much thought to realise that that would be the case. UWA does not own Nedlands, but behaves as if it does. A better slogan for that T-shirt It holds other events which are fabulous and community friendly, but to host something where the music goes for 11 hours and is so loud you can’t get away from it is just unbelievable and I do not understand how it was ever passed by the council. I hope it never happens again. Vicki Walker Kingsway, Nedlands • RTRFM general manager Jason Cleary responds: In The Pines has been held at Somerville Auditorium for 22 years, supports 100% local original WA music and is a major fundraising event for local independent radio station RTRFM. We take the operation of this event extremely seriously and ensure it complies with all requirements as part of our partnership with UWA and Subiaco council. While the music may not be to everyone’s taste, we closely monitor sound levels throughout the day and comply with a strict 10pm curfew. We letter drop before the event within 250m of the venue to ensure the least disruption to nearby residents. We very much appreciate any feedback that will help us improve our events. Why is Withers on the attack? Amendment 31 was about housing choices for the elderly. When it was pointed out there was no provision insisting the triplexes be for over-55s, he changed his story to say they were for Gen Xers. Until now, he has claimed that housing choice is not about density, yet he implies the council is trying to solve the town’s own density problems by avoiding contained infill and instead spreading it throughout the suburb in direct contradiction of Directions 2031. The council has even taken out a full-page advertisement (POST, April 18) supporting this angle. We’d like Mr Withers to clearly explain why the council is doing this. Why is he going against the state government’s planners? How exactly is he representing his ratepayers, who so clearly do not want this? Keri Shannon spokesperson, Save Our City Beach, Save Our Floreat Cambridge mayor Simon Withers says planning consultant Ian Everett misunderstands Amendment 31 (“Bad rap for infill”, POST, April 18). Ian is one of the most experienced and respected senior urban planners in Perth and has been engaged by the state government on many significant projects, such as the revitalisation of the Scarborough Redevelopment Area and the new Perth Stadium. Why exactly does Mr Withers continue to attack all who oppose him, regardless of their obvious expertise? Directions 2031 specifically states that “it should not be interpreted as a requirement for across-the-board increases in density throughout existing suburbs”. It seems that the state government’s planners felt it was important enough to include that specific instruction, yet Mr Withers appears to have ignored it. Initially, Mr Withers claimed • A Subiaco council spokesman said: Events such as In the Pines must comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 as a condition of their approval. The council monitored noise and conducted other environmental health assessments on the day. It is possible that weather conditions (namely wind) may have created excessive noise in areas not usually affected. The council investigates all formal noise complaints and these are taken into consideration for future approval and conditions.

More significant than the Eagles v Dockers Derby was the enthusiastic gathering at The Palms in Subiaco to dissect the long fight to beat forced council mergers. Subiaco hosted the gathering, which was attended by community groups from far-flung parts of the metro area. Councils including Subiaco that have been under imminent threat of abolition suddenly found last month that the Premier had “put up the white flag”, in his own words. Campaigners gathered in Subiaco to compare notes and discuss in awe the power of the people in the face of definitive government assurances that the mergers were a done deal. The groups recalled how they had exchanged skills. Western suburb activists had written speeches for those in Serpentine-Jarrahdale, while Kalamunda mounted a very visible poster campaign. Kalamunda also lobbied its local MP, John Day, and two separately formed community opposition groups eventually came together to side with the council. The groups organised demonstrations outside Parliament House. South Perth organised teams to print and deliver pamphlets and to door-knock each home to get out the vote for a poll that voted “No” and was binding on the government. It was a feat nobody thought possible because 30% of South Perth of homes are rented. Ian Ker, the Vincent activist who started legal action against the government to stop mergers. East Fremantle and Cockburn community members were organised in the same way. The Western Suburbs Alliance marshalled 360 paid-up members and a total of 550 people to call on to help. Former Cottesloe councillor Greg Boland said the local ratepayer group, SOS Cottesloe, had stopped in its tracks Cottesloe council’s bid to form a G5 with four other western suburb councils. All groups have pledged to use their experience to help Subiaco fight any ill-effects of the City of Perth Bill that is due to be introduced into Parliament in the current session.

By DAVID COHEN When Jane Forma worked in vineyards she was alarmed how the acid in wine eroded her teeth. So the former winemaker became a dentist. “When I was doing my wine degree we did have a couple of lectures from dentists on the importance of winemakers looking after their teeth,” Jane said. “It’s an occupational hazard. Winemakers tend to get a lot more erosion of their teeth.” Jane (31) grew up in North Fremantle, went to PLC and then spent a gap year working on Margaret River vineyards. After a four-year oenology degree in Adelaide she worked in South Australia, Alsace (France), and California’s Napa Valley. “I love wine and I loved the people in the industry,” Jane said. “There’s a strong camaraderie when you work together 12 hours a day for three months straight.” But by 2008 Jane was tired of long hours over summer – and the global financial crisis hit. “I was weighing up my next step and when the GFC hit the long-term prospects were not looking that great,” she said. “I was one of the lucky ones who didn’t lose their job.” While she was doing her five-year dental degree, Jane worked in Rob Bates-Smith’s East Fremantle bottle shop. She finished her UWA den- The 850sq.m space Cambridge Rotary Club wanted was too much, town councillors decided. But the 410sq.m the council offered would not be financially viable, according to the club. Councillor Colin Walker said even the smaller size was not popular with ratepayers canvassed. “Generally, the community did not accept what was being proposed anyway.” Councillor Sonia Grinceri said: “Just because Alderbury is a substantial reserve does not mean you pile other facilities on there.” She suggested Lake Monger Reserve could be used, but committee chairman Alan Langer A Bloody Long way to Cott Cheers to good teeth … Jane Forma went from winemaker to dentist – but will still dabble in backyard oenology.

She said she wasn’t worried about the high suicide rate among dentists. “I heard vets and anaesthetists are above us,” Jane said. “It’s like any job. If you want to do it and are keen to do it, life’s good.” Jane said she didn’t think she would have taken to dentistry straight out of high school. She said men with big tattoos were often the most fearful patients. “I have a special interest in minimum intervention dentistry, which involves first identifying and addressing the causes of tooth decay, as well as restoring teeth with the preservation of as much natural tooth structure as possible,” Jane said. “Simply drilling and filling is a thing of the past. We now recognise that so many links between the oral tissues and systemic health, good oral health is an essential part of our overall well-being.” C O M M E M O R AT I N G T H E CENTENARY OF ANZAC On the 25th of April 1915, the men of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps set foot on a darkened beach 12,000 kilometres from home. For many, the day would be cut cruelly short. But for our nations it was the beginning of a long journey. The ANZAC spirit was born at Gallipoli that day. A tradition that has been passed from generation to generation of our defence forces who have fought for freedom on behalf of our country. Some 8000 Australians died at Gallipoli and on that peninsula thousands of our soldiers remain buried. Each one has a story. Let us remember Cottesloe brothers Corporal George Curlewis, Lance Corporal Selwyn Curlewis and Captain Gordon Curlewis who served in the 16th Battalion and Corporal Arthur Curlewis of the 12th Battalion. All four landed at Gallipoli on 25 April, only one would return to Australia. Selwyn was killed at Quinn’s Post on the night of 2 May, he has no known grave. Gordon was killed at Quinn’s Post only one week later and buried at Beach Cemetery. In August, Arthur was wounded JBishopMP JulieBishopMP The first Bloody Long Walk is coming to the western suburbs. The challenge, the first of its kind in WA, involves walking 35km from Sir James Mitchell Park, in South Perth, to Cottesloe beach, on August 16. Other walks have been held in recent years in NSW, Victoria and Queensland. In its application to Cottesloe council this week, Bloody Long Walk said entry fees would be $80 and $100, and through them the Australian Mitochondrial Disease Foundation hoped to Read the POST online at raise $1million for research into the disease. The organisers expect 650 entries with 170 competitors an hour walking through Cottesloe. Competitors will be asked to walk in single file or two abreast, and to avoid runners, other walkers and cyclists. A council committee recommended that the $550 beach hire fee be waived for the event. It recommended approving the walk subject to parking, litter, insurance and other conditions. postnewspapers.com.au Y O U R L O C A L A N Z A C D A Y S E RV I C E S Shenton Park RSL Sub Branch Nedlands RSL Sub Branch 7.00am, Shenton Park Community Centre, Onslow Road, Shenton Park 8.15am, Nedlands War Memorial, Cnr Waratah Avenue and Birdwood Parade, Dalkeith Cottesloe RSL Sub Branch & Town of Cottesloe 7.00am, War Memorial Hall, Cottesloe Civic Centre, 109 Broome Street, Cottesloe at Lone Pine and evacuated to Egypt where he died.

Rotary Club members said they had looked for alternative sites to Alderbury Reserve without success. The idea was to include the shed with new changerooms on the Alderbury Reserve, off Oceanic Drive. The council’s community committee decided not to support the bigger shed. The council voted to tell the club it wanted to see parking, traffic, noise and dust studies and financial predictions for 15 years if they came up with another proposition. The full council will have the final say on Tuesday night.

[email protected] www.shellabears.com.au POST, April 25, 2015 – Page 19 Centenary of Anzac Day, April 25 The Last Post: Sounds of sadness and hope As we await each Anzac dawn, one sound unites us. A plain coil of brass tubing wrapped around a soldier’s fist utters the summon to honour those who gave their all so we might live, and thrive, and vouchsafe their heritage. The Last Post, a bugle sounding in the early light, reverses the sequence of our day. First composed as a call to sleep, when the final sentry was in place, at daybreak it becomes a reflection on sacrifice and death, just as a young soldier in the morning of life must contemplate its end. On Anzac Day, the bugle sounds the Last Post before the silence, then Reveille or Rouse at the close. Once used to give orders to soldiers in the field, these strains are now part of our founding legend, DAVID CUSWORTH explains. From its lowest note, this simplest of instruments rises a perfect fifth; the dominant, the most powerful harmonic repeated urgently, demanding attention. The call then breaks into the upper register, running through the range, exploring every nuance of the chord. Suddenly the bugle returns to the dominant, and the pace quickens in an echo of the everyday … “Come to the cookhouse door, boys, come to the cookhouse door”, as if the boys were ever there, eagerly clamouring. But they are gone and the bugler braces once more, searching the higher end of the scale for resolution; each bright note dis- solving in a mournful cadence. Somewhere in every gathering, someone is weeping; their sobs swelling the closing refrain. Back to the root of the chord, the bugle rises once, twice, three times to the dominant, pondering; then breaks clear to the octave, a bright signal of hope. But hope is transient and the note wavers, then jumps a major third; irresolute and searching. There it ends and silence envelops the scene; a minute Oval to salute Anzacs Century of tradition By LLOYD GORMAN Shenton College’s nearly 2000 students and their peers have a special relationship and responsibility to the Anzacs, Premier Colin Barnett told them. Fremantle Football Club’s Len Hall Tribute Game at Subiaco Oval on Saturday will kick off with a salute to the men and women of Australia’s armed forces. Veterans of the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and peacekeeping missions in conflict zones like Malaya and East Timor will join serving personnel on the oval for a pre-game ceremony before the Dockers face Sydney. The RSL said the theme for this year’s Len Hall Tribute Game – which the football club started 20 years ago – would honour returned and fallen Australian Defence Force personnel who had served under the Anzac spirit. Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Dunjey, from the WA University Regiment, will take the salute from the troops and veterans, who will march on to the ground at the 43,000-seat oval. to reflect on mortality. The darker the dawn, the deeper the reflection. Then once more the bugle sounds, summoning the light. Reveille or Rouse, the sense is the same. The call to rise again reasserts ancient beliefs that none are lost but gone before. And great deeds echo down the ages. Our solemn reflection done, the gathering gives voice to national pride in the anthem; a cue for fellowship and pride – in the here and now, and in all who have gone before. Game changer … Members of the Australian Defence Force at Subiaco Oval before the start of last year’s Len Hall game. Photo: David Nicholson They will do a lap of honour, led by troops from the Bunbury 10th Light Horse. A special message from WA Victoria Cross medal winner Ben Roberts-Smith, who will be in Gallipoli, will be shown on the giant screens at the oval. Graham Edward, state president of RSL WA, will recite The Ode. Len Hall was a West Australian who enlisted with the 10th Light Horse and was a machine-gunner at Gallipoli, where he was the last man evacuated. He died in Perth in February 1999, aged 101. Tracey Hall, Len Hall’s grandson, and Danica Hall, his greatgranddaughter, will light the flame of remembrance. The practice of having fireworks just before bouncedown for Dockers’ games which was introduced at the start of the season, will still go ahead. The footy starts at 6.45pm. “You, and your generation, and young adults of today, more than any other group in society, matter over the next few days,” Mr Barnett said at a special ceremony at the school on Thursday morning. “It is by your presence here and whatever you may do on Anzac Day on Saturday, you represent the generation of young people of 100 years ago “Young people, teenagers and young adults who Governor Kerry Sanderson with Turkish fought in a war they didn’t understand, they gave Consul General Chait Yesetener.

Shannon Lovelady For the past 61 weeks, Shannon, a historian and the PLC archivist, has brought our western suburb Anzacs to life. “Some columns took four days to research,” Shannon said. “I haven’t had a weekend off in 16 months.” The series started with Colin MacBean, of Davies Road, Claremont, who died in August 1915 after being shot in the Battle of Hill 60. Today’s column is about Jack Inman, from Watkins Road, Claremont. who was shot in the head on April 25, 1915. “My favourite is always the last one I’ve written, but I love them all,” Shannon said. “I found it really hard to sum up someone’s life and death. “The columns show how families’ hearts were ripped out.” Shannon’s column won a huge following. National press called her wanting to know who in other states was writing an equivalent column – but no one is. “My biggest fan is a retired QC from South Perth who drives every Friday to get the POST,” Shannon said. “On the way he worries there won’t be a column. “I’ve been able to tell him this week is the last one.” This week,Shannon gave several talks about her research. On Wednesday at Nedlands library Beatrice Jones (90) thanked Shannon for her work. “I’m blown away by your depth of knowledge and the breadth of your research,” Beatrice said. “Future generations will thank you for all the work you’ve done.” Like many other readers, Beatrice felt a connection with Shannon’s work. Her father and three uncles all survived World War I. On Tuesday, Shannon spoke at PLC about the tragedy and mystery of Bertie Newbury, who had relations at PLC and went missing in action. “After unconfirmed sightings and conflicting stories, his family never gave up hope of him returning,” Shannon said. Later that day Shannon spoke at the Grove library where Michael Gregg said the matterof-fact presentation moved him to tears. “It really was an amazing (and officially undoable) challenge she took on, and with the help of so many talented researchers here, brought to fruition,” Michael said. Shannon said she was grateful for the opportunity. “You have let these boys live again,” she said about the POST. Shannon said she was not sure where she would be on Anzac Day. “I’m thinking about Subiaco, but I don’t like crowds,” she said. “Channel 9 interviewed me, and I will be on the big screen at King’s Park at 5.55am. “I’m thinking about Claremont. My grandfather was president of the RSL there.” • Shannon’s last column, page 46 THE FIFTH ANNUAL AL A fun eco-day in a heritage precinct T: 9384 0108 ST LUKE’S ANGLICAN CHURCH PRECINCT E:

POST, April 25, 2015 – Page 25 Telstra tells nurses that it’s their call Lemons sweeten zoo life Telstra’s Guy Champion lost his mother to breast cancer 18 years ago. “I was 20 when she was diagnosed and 30 when she died,” Guy said. “She donated her body to medical science and 12 months later we buried her ashes at Pinnaroo.” When Guy heard nurses and counsellors at Breast Cancer Care (BCC) WA’s Cottesloe base were using their own phones to help their patients, he was keen to help. On Wednesday, the nurses and counsellors got seven new Android mobiles. “They do so much good work,” Guy said about the nurses and counsellors. “It’s important people don’t battle it alone – they don’t need to.” Swanbourne resident Jacqui Cairns is a counsellor for BCC, which is based next to the Wanslea building in Railway Street. “I do home visits, go to support By LINDA CALLAGHAN A Dalkeith lemon tree and schoolboy Andrew Triglavcanin are helping save endangered turtles. Andrew sells the lemons from the tree in his garden and donates the money to Perth Zoo to help the western swamp turtle. Environment Minister Albert Jacob invited him to the zoo on Wednesday morning to see the new breeding centre that Andrew helps. “We used to give the lemons away and I asked Mum if I could sell them,” Andrew said. The tree in Robert Street fruits most of the year and Andrew runs an honour system so neighbours can leave donations and help themselves. So far he has raised about $400. Andrew’s love of wildlife comes from some of the adventure holidays he and his family have taken. They have been to the Amazon, the Galapagos Islands and Madagascar. He has been piranha fishing in South America and on safari in South Africa. Later in the year they are off to Norway for a polar bear holiday. “I want to go to Papua New Guinea because they have some really big insects there,” Andrew said He and his sister Olivia (15) have different ideas. “Holidays are a balance between animals and shopping,” said Andrew, a student at Christ Church Grammar School. Sweet success ... Andrew Triglavcanin has sold lemons from the family’s tree to raise about $400 for a western swamp turtle breeding program at Perth Zoo.

The nurses and counsellors tended to 827 people last year in the metropolitan area. “Every year 1500 women are diagnosed with breast cancer,” Anne-Marie said. “There is a huge demand on our services. We don’t want anyone to go through the journey alone.” In touch … Nurse Denise Kiff, left, Telstra’s Guy Champion, nurse Moira Waters, counsellor Jacqui Cairns, Telstra’s Leanna O’Dea, and nurse Maria Waton test their new phones. Page 26 – POST, April 25, 2015 Hope for cancer probe ‘game changer’ By DAVID HUDLESTON One of the bike racks sculptor Martin Jaine created from recycled material. Rack off to the EcoFair Riders cycling to this year’s Mosman Park EcoFair can park their bikes at the new racks at St Luke’s Church. Martin Jaine, of Earlsferry Sculptures near Guildford, made the racks from recycled material and metal offcuts. Each rack has a different theme: bikes, church, community garden and Australiana. The EcoFair will be held in the heritage grounds of St Luke’s Church on Saturday, May 2, between 10am and 4pm. Raffle prizes include a folding bike from EBikesRUs, a raised herb bed from Rainwater WA and garden goodies from Bunnings and Dawsons. Organisers hope to beat the past two years’ waste record, which each produced only four bins of rubbish from 1500 people. Parking is limited – but it is near the station and the bus stops – and the new racks will be the place for bikes. Proceeds from this year’s fair will be split between ICEA Foundation, St Bartholomew’s Women’s Refuge and the Conservation Council of WA’s EcoMay initiative. For more information ring 0412 553 680 or email ecofairstlukes@ gmail.com. A University of WA physicist is developing a hand-held surgical probe to reduce secondary surgery for breast cancer patients. The Cancer Council recently awarded Associate Professor Vincent Wallace a $422,000 Youngberg Women's Cancer Research fellowship to develop and test the probe that uses new terahertz technology to help surgeons remove cancer. Professor Wallace said every year about 3000 breast cancer patients in Australia required second surgical procedures because not all the cancers were removed the first time. He said there was a real need for an accurate, real-time, non-destructive way to assess tumour margins (the boundary between tumours and healthy tissue) during surgery. Terahertz technology uses a special type of light that is invisible to the naked eye to create images of living tissues. With collaborators in the UK, Professor Wallace has developed a hand-held terahertz probe that can be used during surgery to differentiate between the cancer and healthy tissue. The funding will be used to develop this tool further and test whether it is practical and economically feasible for breast surgeons to use. It could be used for any surgery requiring damaged tissue to be removed without taking normal, healthy, tissue. Professor Wallace hopes to have a prototype finished later this year. “The real problem is that surgeons are very reliant on their experience to identify where the cancer is,” he said. Professor Vincent Wallace has spent seven years developing the terahertz probe, inset, to detect cancer cells during surgery. Photo: Billie Fairclough. INSET: A prototype probe. “Obviously they use other tools like X-rays and ultrasound before and sometimes during surgery. “But the fact is about 20% to 30% of women still return for a second surgical procedure to remove cancer tissue left behind.” “If we can cut the secondary surgery rate by 50% that would be fantastic.” The special light uses terahertz radiation. “Basically it’s a very far infrared light that sits between the infra-red of your TV remote control and a microwave,” he said. “We found that light is unique years in being able to detect regions of cancer in tissues.” It has been tested on colon and skin cancer but his main focus is breast cancer. He said it detected changes in tissue and water content. “There are a lot of changes in the tissue and one of them is the water content,” he said. “Cancer is very clever in recruiting its own blood supply, which is normally chaotic and leaky, creating increased fluids like blood and water. “Our technique is able to pick up those small differences in the water content to identify where the tumour is.” The project is being de- veloped by an international, multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, doctors and clinicians. Professor Wallace developed the idea by talking to surgeons about what problems needed solving. But he said the work could not be done without the generosity of the people who donated to the Cancer Council. “It is a great honour to win this award and to meet the relatives of Joan Youngberg, whose generous gift to the Cancer Council WA allows me to continue this important work in improving the treatment of women's cancers,” he said.

Detective Senior Sergeant Jade Smith said the rapist was a predator. “We are determined to catch him,” he said. Senior Sergeant Smith is head of the review which started last September – four years after the crimes – to catch the rapist. The 19-year-old German au pair had been caring for Do you recognise him? … Police think this man could help with queries over a 2010 Mosman Park rape. Souvenirs taken A Wembley couple had their holiday souvenirs and photos stolen last Thursday night just after they arrived home from the airport. The Harborne Street couple got home at 10.15pm and left their boot open, with suitcases in the car, while they went inside. When they returned five minutes later the suitcases were gone. In the cases was $1740 of property, including cameras. her employer’s two-yearold son when she answered a knock at the door. “He parked a sports utility, similar to a Kia Sportage, on Manning Street,” Senior Sergeant Smith said. “He walked to the home with a bunch of flowers, overpowered his victim, forced his way inside – and restrained her before sexually penetrating her without her consent.” After the rape the man also stole her phone and used it to phone her employers, and warn them not to go to police. “Technology and advanced DNA methods are making it likelier to solve crimes like this,” Senior Sergeant Smith said. He said the distinctive diary had green and dark blue writing on it and carried the logo of German cattle breeding company Masterrind. “The logo is very distinctive. We hope a wife, girlfriend, or partner has seen it and it rings a bell,” he said. Hunt for DIY crim Cottesloe police are closing in on a man suspected of stealing drill bits from Bunnings. The latest incident, at the Cottesloe Central shops, was last weekend. Shop staff told police the man was a regular in the store. Last Sunday he joined others across the road at the Grove library. Police later received a report about a stolen bike. BEAT with DAVID COHEN Blood leads to charges A Claremont man has been charged with trespass after his blood was allegedly left at a crime scene. Cottesloe police said they found the blood behind an outside door while investigating a January 19 theft from a Claremont business. The local man (24) was charged after DNA testing. He is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates’ Court next month. Tenants evicted Three public housing tenants have been evicted from their Mosman Park homes this month. The tenants were evicted from a 27-unit apartment block in Wellington Street. A fire gutted one of the apartments last Sunday, but the Arson Squad and firefighters said the blaze was not suspicious. A cat was killed in the fire. Two of the tenants were in jail. One had not lived in his unit for some time and agreed to release his tenancy. CRIME STOPPERS 1800 333 000 Suspect followed Red wine goes to waste Swanbourne liquor shop workers followed a suspected thief into a nearby shop after calling police last Sunday. A man caused damage while attempting to break into a liquor store in Subiaco last month.

Bid to revoke Wandana tenancy The Housing Department says it will seek a court order to terminate the Subiaco tenancy of a man convicted of a drug offence. Christopher Patrick Kyneur (55), a Wandana tenant, was convicted last year for possessing methylamphetamine, a smoking implement and a controlled weapon. The department lodged an application in January under the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 over illegal use of premises. “The department has been monitoring the property and will be seeking a court order to terminate the tenancy,” the department’s service delivery manager Greg Cash said. Earlier this month, Mr Kyneur appeared in the Perth Magistrates’ Court on charges including possession of heroin and amphetamine with intent to sell or supply. The charges were laid by Wembley police in January. The charges were adjourned until July. TWO WEEK Police will allege the Wanneroo man (40) stole two Woodstock bourbon four-packs from the Liquor Barons shop in Claremont Crescent and then went into the Merchants shop further east at the Claremont Crescent strip. The man was charged with one count of stealing. Open door for thieves Stealing two rings was easy for burglars in Shenton Park on Saturday when they found a lounge room door unlocked. They took a diamond ring and a gold band from the Nicholson Road home between 10.30am and 2pm. A white BMW stolen from West Leederville last week was found in Koondoola the next day. The owner had left the keys of the 2011 car on a shelf in his garage. Wembley police are hunting the person who threw a letterbox through a front window on Tuesday morning. An Antrim Street, Leederville, resident said a person wearing a blue hoody threw the letterbox through the glass at 7.15am before walking to the nearby railway station.

Deadline Litter lots blot the landscape Hipkins answers Taylor’s digs Laurie Taylor’s often repeated criticism of council inefficiencies (“Stand by for a rate rise”, Letters, POST, April 18) warrants response. He says it is ludicrous for a municipal boundary to pass through the middle of Winthrop Hall. The boundary was there first and the hall was built over it. It wasn’t seen as a problem then and is not of any consequence now, because UWA does not pay rates and is outside council control. Even if UWA’s main campus is fully within Perth, the Claremont campus would still be outside, as would almost 100ha of other UWA sites in Nedlands, and further campuses in other parts of the metro area and the state. It is impossible for UWA to deal with one council. His simplistic reaction to the “wasteful” strategic planning budget demonstrates he has no understanding of what the single line item includes – all non-statutory functions of the town planning department. These include staff salaries for policy development, strategic projects (Travelsmart, Waratah Avenue, Stirling Highway), foreshore and heritage management, training, conferences, long service leave, superannuation, consultants, contingencies for legal fees and implementing town planning scheme No. 3 if and when it is approved by the state government, and overheads such as phone, insurance and incidentals. Use your QR scanner to email letters to the POST Any money not spent goes into reserves. In relation to money wasted on executive salaries, councils must operate within strict parameters when employing senior staff. At Nedlands, unlike at many other councils, the CEO is not paid at the top of the salary band. In relation to rate rises, the community has endorsed a 4% rate rise each year for capital works to overcome a backlog in city asset maintenance. Details of where these funds will be expended are in an approved strategic community plan. Last year there was a minimal increase in operational expenditure (+0.01%). It is unlikely this will be repeated in the next budget. Max Hipkins Nedlands mayor Geoffrey Dean, of Shenton Park, sent in this photo and says that to the delight of park visitors and more than 100 waterbirds, recent rain has begun to refill Lake Jualbup. But, he says, this leads to the perennial puzzle: how deep is it? Thanks to this intrepid ball retriever, Jualbup’s secret has now been revealed in depth. “For him it was knee deep,” Geoffrey said. “More if you are a duck or swan.” Buzzards home in on garden suburbs Haven’t mayor Simon Withers and some sections of Cambridge council done well? I have not seen so many buzzards in the sky over City Beach and Floreat in my 30 years of living here. Of course this is the developer kind of buzzard. The proposed housing scheme amendment 31 has really brought them out. A letter drop from a real estate agent asks: “What is your property worth now and what will your property be worth when this change takes place?” Yes, you read it correctly – “when this change takes place”. Reference has been made to a private presentation with the council to gain a detailed understanding of what is being proposed. An advertisement for a 916sq.m site reads: “Possible future duplex block”. Yes, the feeding frenzy has started in earnest. The majority of electors and ratepayers do not want or need this proposed housing scheme amendment, so what are Mr Withers and the council going to do when the results of this current consultation effort (the survey and the Form 4) come in, showing the same results as last year’s survey, that the majority of ratepayers do not support or want maisonettes (manor houses), duplexes or triplexes. Will the council again say it was not a referendum and ignore the wishes of the ratepayers? I have been going to council and development committee meetings on this issue since last August and my observation is that the word “hubris” fits well with what I have seen with regard to this housing scheme amendment. It’s a small word with a lot of meaning. I have seen more time spent discussing a cubby house than on this proposed amendment. There is now only one safe approach to this proposed housing scheme amendment, which is unfortunate, and that is to oppose everything. D. Wills Chandler Avenue East, Floreat If you have the misfortune to live near or travel past the building sites at Ocean Mia, in City Beach, you must have noticed the rubbish around many of the half-completed houses and on the vacant land. There are building sites with either no skips or skips where the rubbish is poorly contained and able to be blown about. Surely Cambridge council has a clause in its building permits that prevents this? Jane Dalton Kalinda Drive, City Beach • Cambridge CEO Jason Buckley responds: Cambridge council takes littering in and around building sites very seriously. In January, it wrote to all builders working in the town requesting their co-operation in managing their building sites, particularly rubbish, obstructions, material storage and dust control. While most builders act responsibly and do the right thing, a minority do not. In these cases, the council will continue to enforce the litter act. Cott disgrace It’s a great shame that despite a world-class beach, the public changing rooms and toilets at Cottesloe (I can speak only of the men’s, of course) are an absolute disgrace. It’s embarrassing taking interstate or overseas visitors down to that stunning locale only for them to have to change in something that stinks. Surely someone could bring this facility into the 21st century.

Deadline Why hasn’t Cambridge called a public meeting? This is an open letter to the mayor and councillors of Cambridge. I expect our councillors to supply us with balanced information upon which we can come to an informed opinion. You have produced an impressive document, but instead of containing unbiased information, it is a sales document for a selected outcome. There is no mention of Directions 2031, which I first heard about at the Beecroft Park Sunday meeting. There is no information as to the original garden suburb concept on which the original Floreat and City Beach planning was based. No information about denser developments near community centres and public transport. There has been no calling of a public community meeting (following complaints organised by the Coast Ward Progress Association), as occurred years ago when the council was promoting a similar rezoning proposal (our then president, John Moran, still has some of the documentation). You are a disgrace, in my opinion. You have failed in your duty to ratepayers. Your efforts on our behalf are appreciated, but I find it hard to conceive you would now fail a fundamental democratic principle. C. Roger Pratt Templetonia Crescent, City Beach Backyards turn into carparks The Cambridge planning proposal will turn children’s backyard play areas into carparks. Backyards will be turned into three garages, two parking lots, and driveways. There will be no grass for the children of three families to do somersaults and no room to ride a trike, bounce on a trampoline or have a decent swing. Would you let your child or grandchild play in the backyard with the risk of being run over by your neighbour? I would not. Furthermore, the backyard driveway must run along the neighbour’s boundary, often within 3m of bedrooms. We will have several cars driving in and out of the corner property at any time. The glare of headlights, the odour of exhaust and the noise of engines, tyres and slamming doors will disrupt the sleep and damage the health and goodwill of the neighbours. Does Cambridge believe this is good planning? It isn’t; it is dangerous for kids and unfair on neighbours.

Call 13 20 50 Perhaps I have spent too much time living overseas, where rampant infill isn’t the norm, and where different areas of cities retain historic character. While all of us, not just Directions 2031, support a reasonable amount of housing choice, I maintain that in its advertisement in last week’s POST (“Directions 2031 supports housing choice”), Cambridge council has cherry-picked quotes from the Directions 2031 documents. Now, I know City Beach, Floreat, Nedlands and so on are not like Lavenham or Stratford in England, with many Tudor houses. They do, however, have a character, enhanced by trees and gardens, that will be lost by infill. While Floreat – presumably the shopping area of Floreat Forum – does get a mention as a district centre in the “activity centres” list in Directions 2031, City Beach doesn’t. In contrast to the situation around QEII and UWA, where a map of the higher-density area is shown in Directions 2031, I believe that there isn’t a map of its proposals for Floreat. A reading of Directions 2031 might equally well lead to a conclusion that a few blocks of eight-storey luxury apartments near Floreat Forum is a way to provide more housing appropriate to the “demographic drivers”, smaller households, mentioned in the advertisement. This would result in less loss of gardens and trees, and would retain neighbourhood choice, rather than the homogeneous bits of infill everywhere currently proposed by Cambridge council. To add my bit about demographics: children benefit from gardens. So, please preserve, where possible, houses with gardens near primary schools. Grant Keady Viewway, Nedlands Lessons in Cambridge St Cambridge Coast ward ratepayers are incensed that mayor Simon Withers continues to use their rate money to promote an unwanted and impractical rezoning of their ward. I believe the council’s recent advertisement (“Directions 2031 supports housing choice”, POST, April 18) contains inaccuracies that add insult to injury. The rezoning proposal will affect every lot in Coast ward because the simple criterion is lot size. That means any developer can buy adjacent houses to create a larger lot that suits construction of an apartment block anywhere in our famous, and valued, garden suburbs. The reduced setback on offer will mean that any new structure will overshadow neighbours, dominate the streetscape and obstruct views. This impulsive idea will have a similar effect as occurred when Perth council allowed construction of the blocks of flats in Wembley ward, along Cambridge Street. That created undesirable development out of context with the neighbourhood, which now cannot be undone. There are better, more appropriate solutions for achieving housing choice for the aged and infirm, and to increase the total number of homes in the Town of Cambridge.

Deadline ‘Like using a steam shovel to crack a peanut’ Margaret Owen says loss of roost sites and food resources probably accounts for the increase in numbers of carnaby’s cockatoos in the western suburbs. Oh to be at Perry Lakes, now that April’s here Though carnaby’s cockatoos start arriving in the Perth region in December, for some mysterious reason they do not start flying in to drink at the east lake of Perry Lakes until mid-April. It’s the same every year. Why would they drink at other sources before mid-April and then change their favoured drinking hole? This year there have been a lot more carnaby’s cockatoos around than in previous years. Last year, the average for April was 200 birds, and so far this year it is 300. There are two roost sites in the western suburbs and by adding the roosting numbers, we find that there are more than 500 carnaby’s roosting and up to 630. I suggest the increase is because cockatoos are coming to the western suburbs having lost either their roost sites or their food resources through clearing. Margaret Owen Daglish Street, Wembley Emeritus Professor Webb’s comments on the University of WA (“Town and gown kept separate”, Letters, POST, April 18) are apposite but do not go to the heart of UWA’s claims. The few substantial UWA development applications straddling local government boundaries are decided by the Metropolitan West Joint Development Assessment Panel (DAP) in accord with councils’ town planning schemes. UWA is not alone in this, because every property along Stirling Highway (for example) is subject to approval based on the local town planning scheme, the WA Planning Commission, and the Department of Transport. The recent application by Methodist Ladies’ College was approved by the DAP with two (different) sets of conditions, those of Claremont and the WAPC. Over the past 100 years, UWA has had the intellectual and financial capacity to manage this situation without ill effect. Take subtler approach to infill in Cambridge garden suburbs This is an edited version of a letter to Cambridge council and mayor Simon Withers. Residents understand that there is a need for increasing density, but in a more gentle and subtle way than the council proposes. You have adopted this approach in new developments as listed in your advertisement in last week’s POST, and this is commended. There is general support for subdividing corner blocks into two, with an adjusted setback and single dwellings. By my count, there are 530 corner lots 900sq.m or greater in City Beach, Mt Claremont and Floreat, which means potential for a further 530 dwellings. This does not include the Cambridge Street apartment area where the sky is the limit if you will excuse the pun. A pocket of golf course (council) land on the corner of Empire Avenue and Durston Road could be built on. Similarly a strip of vacant land on the corner of The Boulevard and Templetonia Crescent could be subdivided and still leave ample recreational land. Friends who live in The Rise development, City Beach, say small pockets of land within this complex could be built on but ownership is vague and there is no planning permission. Are there are similar sites in Mt Claremont and Floreat? The two City Beach shopping centres have been the subject of tremendous criticism. They could be given planning permission for apartments above ground-floor shops. It would be interesting to see what could be found if further in- MIRV0433B Now selling new off the plan apartments 1 bedroom apartments from 3 bedroom apartments from $545,000 $1.495m * * vestigation were undertaken. Has the council given this approach any consideration? By subdividing corner blocks into two, developing the Cambridge Street apartment area, allowing shopping centres to have apartments above them, investigating the potential of vacant land and completing new developments as listed in the advertisement, the potential for 4000 new dwellings is achievable. Jeanette and Frank Pitts address to come The only thing that seems to have changed is that Perth council is now fixated on marginally improving its “liveability” rating, based on the limited criteria used for convenience by a self-selected, insignificant agency. The proposed City of Perth Act is like using a steam shovel to crack a peanut and causing collateral damage to neighbouring municipalities. This seems the last thing the state government should be doing when faced with real financial and social problems.

Our federal government spends too much time ramping up fear and too little time considering alternatives to sending more troops off to war. A lack of reflection on the death and destruction of war, a lack of compassion for the refugees of war, a lack of respect for cultural and religious differences, and a lack of insight into our own behaviour are a dangerous mix. It’s time to listen to the stories of our returned soldiers, time to consider the complexities of war, and time to look to intelligent and negotiated peaceful alternatives.

Sisters-in-law Jaye Cuypers and Claire Chidgzey became so attached to the Lagree fitness phenomenon, which they discovered in Brisbane, they decided to open their own studio in Perth. “I had been living in Brisbane for a few years and had been smashing this workout like crazy in the lead-up to my wedding,” Claire said. “Then we came back DON’T LET A VISION IMPAIRMENT BE A DETERRENT TO PLAYING GOLF to Perth and freaked out because I realised Lagree didn’t exist here.” Once they decided to open their own Lagree fitness studio in Perth, Jaye and Claire went to Los Angeles to be trained by the creator of the workout, Sebastien Lagree. About a month ago they opened their studio, LaFit, at 319 Hay Street in Subiaco. Lagree has been likened to an intense version of Pilates. It combines strength, endurance, cardio, balance, core and flexibility training. Claire and Jay said the 45-minute full bodyconditioning workout burnt up to 800 calories in a single session. They said it was the only place in Perth that offered the workout and the only fitness studio with megaformers – machines that combine resistance for a high intensity workout W with low impact on the joints.

She shares some of her experiences regularly in the POST Health feature in the hope that her stories will lighten the load for all carers. LYN MARTIN I’ve come across three unsent letters of complaint about my disabled husband’s care. I know I should ditch them, but I can’t. Justice needs to be done, but what can I possibly say that would make a difference for carers and those they support? Then I spot the unifying theme in the letters. They’re all about the need for empathy. My husband’s problems started with a faulty surgical procedure. Follow-up surgery did not reduce the associated pain, so we sought ongoing care. The rooms of a fourth orthopaedic surgeon were exactly opposite the third one, who’d refused to take on my husband’s case. I rang the receptionist to ask if she would mind popping across the corridor to leave the x-rays with the latest orthopod. “Well I can’t promise,” she said. I drove back to hospital. The receptionist had sufficient insight into her behaviour to blush. “I couldn’t make a promise I couldn’t keep,” she said defensively. All I’m asking for is goodwill and help. My husband’s 80th birthday present was a long-distance train trip. “How do I get him to the dining room,” I asked the travel consultant? “Oh that’s easy, we provide an on-board wheelchair.” Confirming arrangements closer to departure, I was asked why we were not in the disability cabin. Because I didn’t know there was one. The disability cabin is at the farthest end of the carriage from the dining room, and while it was terrific to have room for wheelchairs and a bathroom with safety rails, have you ever tried to manhandle a bloke in a wheelchair across the divide between two train carriages? There are two doors opening in different directions and a ■ A little empathy would go a long way with carers managing people confined to a wheelchair. dip between carriages. This led into the bar so we became the cabaret act as everyone looked on with interest. It was against occupational health and safety regulations for staff to help us. So we ate in our disability cabin. Not quite the 80th birthday present I’d envisaged. The staff did their best within the constraints placed on them, so should I complain? If people could only see it through the eyes of those living with disability, and their carers, maybe they’d all be a little more caring.

Everyone knows they should have an annual physical examination, see the eye doctor and, with all WA’s sunshine, maybe even a dermatologist. But what about hearing? When did you last see a hearing healthcare professional – probably primary school? Did you know that hearing loss can be a sign of other serious health problems. • Heart disease: When blood vessels are damaged by heart disease, it affects blood flow to the inner ear. • Diabetes. Researchers suspect the high glucose levels associated with diabetes cause damage to the blood vessels in the inner ear. • Kidney disease: Australian researchers discovered older adults with moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) have higher incidence of hearing loss than those without CKD. • Brain atrophy: People with untreated hearing loss can experience higher risk for developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. If you’ve never visited a hearing care professional, Hearing & Audiology offers an interesting and informative experience. Each patient’s “hearing history” is discussed to better understand unique and personal hearing needs. Next is the hearing examination, which takes about 30 minutes. Hearing & Audiology prepares a report from the results and a copy is sent to the patient’s GP.

The research has found that individual patient education, when combined with staff training and patient feedback for staff, is effective in reducing the rate of falls and injuries among older patients. WA Health geriatrician Nick Waldron was principal investigator on the project, which was led by Anne-Marie Hill from the University of Notre Dame Australia. Dr Waldron described the trial as the first of its kind in the world to report a significant reduction in the rate of injurious falls. Across the eight WA hospital rehabilitation units in which the trial was conducted, including Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, the rate of falls among older patients declined about 40% while the rate of injurious falls almost halved, dropping from 4.7 to 2.6 falls per 1000 patient days. “A fall can have a devastating impact on an older person,” Dr Waldron said. Martinick Hair Restoration ■ Nick Waldron and senior physiotherapist Wuan-Chin Lee help patient Joan Klimaitis, centre, improve her stability to prevent falls. “Close to a third of falls will cause a physical injury that can lead to a loss of independent living and a fear of falling. “A small percentage of older people may even die as a result of injuries from a fall, so the findings of our research are really exciting.” The researchers estimate that during the course of their intervention they would have prevented 317 falls, producing a conservative saving to the health system of nearly $770,000. Patients taking part in the fall prevention initiative were shown a DVD and given a workbook. Physiotherapists would then follow up with patients, giving them the opportunity to clarify any issues and develop their own safety plans as well as raise any concerns that could be fed back to other ward staff.

[email protected] www.martinickhair.com.au SUITE 1/21 STIRLING HWY NEDLANDS WA 6009 Does hair transplantation really work? Hair transplantation represents the only medically-proven natural way to permanently restore hair. In the right surgical hands, hair transplantation delivers results so natural in appearance that it is virtually impossible for the untrained eye to detect. The transplanted hair grows permanently and naturally and people can have it styled, washed and go for a swim just as they would with their own hair. But like all things, hair transplants are not created equal. It is the physician performing the transplant and the supporting surgical team who make the difference. Martinick Hair Restoration’s specialist physician, Dr Jennifer Martinick, has dedicated over 25 years of her professional life to researching, developing and refining permanent hair restoration. Her dedication has led to the development of the Martinick Transplant Technique ™, renowned for creating a natural looking and fuller head of hair from fewer donor follicles. Hair transplant procedures are individualised for each patient at Martinick Hair Restoration. A thicker looking head of hair is created through transplanting different groupings of follicles together. For example, some follicles, such as those in the permanent rim, contain one and two hairs, while a double follicular unit in the scalp area contains three and four hair follicles. The natural appearance of transplants performed under the Martinick Technique ™ is also due to the painstaking attention paid to the direction that the transplanted follicle is placed. Instead of the conventional linear transplanting method, Dr Martinick uses a coronal transplant method to replant the follicles in the way hair naturally flows. Martinick Hair Restoration physicians are present for the whole procedure.

Quite a lot according to Wembley podiatrist Heidi Chin, who recently attended a masterclass with Professor Datuk Jimmy Choo, the creator of Jimmy Choo shoes. Heidi said: “Although we are in different fields, we connected through our knowledge of footwear and the impact that a foot has on the function of ankles, shins, knees, hips and back.” Malaysian-born Choo came to prominence in London when Diana Princess of Wales became a patron of his shoes. He became a global household name with character Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) passion for his footwear in the television series, Sex and the City. Choo now designs his own made-to-measure couture shoes, balancing towering heels with quality comfort fits. Last week at Curtin University, Choo was appointed an Adjunct Professor and Global Ambassador for Curtin’s fashion students. ■ They are at opposite ends of the foot business, but Heidi Chin and Jimmy Choo share a belief in caring for feet. Malaysian-born Heidi is not a huge fan of high heels but acknowledges that women are always going to wear them, “You can’t wear boots with a ball gown,” she smiled. What she and Choo both agreed on was breaking down the common perception that feet are meant to be sore. Heidi said: “We shared ideas on the positive effects of well-designed and comfortable shoes contributing to overall Hollywood Fertility Centre health. He even told the public audience at the public lecture to see me for any walking, posture, gait problems. That was a huge honour for me.” Heidi is a graduate of the first course (2009) run under the medical faculty at UWA, a four-year medical-based study of feet. “I represent a new generation of podiatrists who explore the body’s whole form, rather than the foot in isolation,” Heidi said. Heidi, who now runs her own clinic, Pulse Podiatry in the city and in Wembley, said people often didn’t realise how much the feet were responsible for pain and discomfort in other areas of the body. A high arch, for example, can result in tight muscles which radiate pain into the legs, hips and lower back. She addresses a broad range of treatments, from foot supports to massage and acupuncture. She said: “Our feet and lower limbs are severely neglected and people often don’t realise the importance of them until something goes wrong.” Are you, your partner, your friends or family members struggling with infertility? Discovering that you may need assistance to conceive a child can come as a shock and generate issues within a couple’s relationship.

The meeting will be at 10am at Drabble House, behind Nedlands library. For one obstetrician on the Australian Doctors for Africa (ADFA) team that went to Madagascar last month, the project was a dream come true. His trip was supported by events like next weekend’s Little Feet Walk at Cottesloe. Lanziz Homar was born in Madagascar and grew up there in the 1980s with his mother, who was from a poor family. “Food, food and food was all I could dream about during those times,” he said. Later he dreamt of being able to help his family, and so going back to his homeland with a medical team in March was close to that dream of 30 years ago. Lanziz went to military school in Madagascar to finish high school and then studied medicine in Antananarivo, Madagascar’s capital. He married a visiting medical student, Marni, and moved to Australia with her. After learning English, he was able to practise and study in Australia and always dreaming of giving something back to his country. “I read about Australian Doctors for Africa and knew this DESIGN was the organisation I needed to approach,” he said. He wrote to the president of the group, Peppermint Grove orthopaedic surgeon Graham Forward, who welcomed him on the team heading for Madagascar. “He told me how he had travelled to Madagascar for the first time in the 1980s and seen the poor health system affecting the most vulnerable people of Madagascar, which then inspired him,” Lanziz said. “After listening to someone like him, who doesn’t have any family over there but is deter- STYLE BE YOUR OWN LANDLORD FROM $270 PER WEEK* ON SITE DISPLAY SUITE OPEN SATURDAY & SUNDAY 11:30AM – 1:00PM TENTHANDBEAUFORT.COM.AU TENTH AVE & BEAUFORT ST INGLEWOOD Award Winning Builder Doric Now Appointed Dimitri 0447 863 927 Stell 0447 860 915 Joanne 0434 650 859 Lauren 0434 659 904 *Disclaimer: this amount is provided as a guide only based on a purchase price of $399,000 on a 30 year Ŭxed term loan of 80% of the purchase price at a Ŭxed interest rate of 4.4% Per annum.

With increasing numbers of birds moving in, there are not enough old trees with suitable hollows for nesting. A few months ago, Friend of Lake Claremont Claire Brittain and care officer Greg Simpson came up with the idea of getting nesting boxes built locally. They approached Mike Wiggin, coordinator of the Mosman Park Men’s Shed, to ask if there was a volunteer who would construct the boxes. Men’s shed member Tony Lalor put up his hand, explaining that he’d always enjoyed playing with wood. Two months later, Tony had crafted not only three parrot boxes and two possum boxes (to Rotary breakfast ☛ The Subiaco Seniors’ Table Tennis Group has a vacancy for a player.

Tony used exterior plywood donated by Vern Williamson of WA Timber Supplies, A trial box placed near the lake last October was soon appropriated by a pair of pinkeared ducks, which could be seen standing on the roof. Tell-tale feathers and droppings on the landing strip at the front of the box indicated that the ducks had decided to take up residence and incubate a clutch of eggs within its cosy interior. Recently, a group of volunteers, led by Kevin McAlpine, installed the remaining duck boxes (screwed on to 2m high Mercedes Benz Specialists jarrah stands) in strategic places around the muddy shallows of the lake. It was squelchy work, due to recent heavy rains, but the mission was successfully accomplished. Walkers round the lake can now look forward to seeing more pink-eared ducklings swimming in formation after their mothers.

His brother, Edwin, known as Ed, was born in 1894 and two sisters followed in 1895 and 1898. By 1899 the family had come to WA, where George worked as a sanitation contractor for Fremantle council. All was not well, however. The Inquirer and Commercial News of June 23, 1899 reported Caroline sued for separation, citing George “was addicted to drink, and had recently struck his wife and knocked her about …” Caroline was granted custody of their children and George was ordered to pay her 30 shillings per week (roughly $215 today). But Caroline was soon expecting again and the baby was born the following year. George (48) died in February 1904 and records show his last residence was “unknown”. Tellingly, Caroline placed no death notice. In July 1907, aged 37, she married Lambert Barlow (29). For a few years, the family lived in Watkins Road, Claremont, and then Beaconsfield. The Inman-Barlow family circa 1914. Ed Inman, left, and Jack, right, who would soon be fighting in Gallipoli, are pictured with their mother, Caroline and siblings. Jack joined the Postal and Telegraph Department and, in February 1913, was promoted to assistant in Perth’s GPO. His devoted sweetheart was Fremantle lass, Jean Wardle. When war was declared, Jack, nearly 25, enlisted at Blackboy Hill on August 11. By the time his brother Ed (20) joined up 10 days later, the 11th Battalion had been formed. Despite Jack having spent three years with Fremantle’s Garrison Artillery, he was allocated to the reinforcements and, in November, was sent to Melbourne for further training. Ed meanwhile sailed for Egypt in the first convoy. After some frustrating delays, Jack finally joined him at Mena Camp on February 28, 1915. Andrew Pittaway’s book, Fremantle Voices of the Great War, features several excepts from Ed’s diary. His entry from that morning reads: “Thank God Jack came out this morning; he is going away with us but not in our platoon till we land.” Two days later Jack embarked on the Suffolk, Ed on the Nizam, and sailed for Lemnos. They were finally together again on April 22. On April 24, Jack wrote to his mother and the letter features in Pittaway’s book: “I am so glad to say that I am now with Ed ... I feel satisfied now. It has been an awfully anxious time and I have had many disappointments but thank goodness all is well now. We expect action in the next few hours – one of the toughest problems yet attempted. I have plenty of faith in our boys and believe that whatever the result might be, no one could do the job better than we Australians. “Today we are all singing with the thought of moving off to do what we have spent months training for. It has been a huge picnic time for two months past and now we are all well and eager to do our duty. I do hope we will be spared to return to you dear people again, but should either or both of us fall and never see you on this earth, you can always remember that your offspring did what they honestly believed to be their bounden duty – namely to assist the Mother Land in an hour of need.” The brothers made it ashore from 4.30am under a deadly hail of gun and shrapnel fire. Within a few hours they had gone about 5km inland but took cover in a recently-abandoned Turkish trench. Ed’s diary continues. “Jack was in the trench with me but disappeared … rifle and machine gun fire on us continually, shrapnel was bursting all around. … I got a bullet right through my cap, it grazed my head and cut the roof of my cap in two.” With Jack at one end of the trench and Ed at the other, the two communicated along the line until about 10am, when Ed could not raise a response. Ed, who’d been shot in the hand, heard Jack had a head wound but nothing more. He wrote in his diary “it was just like hell till dark. Then … I got out to get my hand dressed and was shot in the knee.” Ed was sent to hospital in Malta. His mother, Caroline, was advised on May 14 and the army diligently kept her informed as to his whereabouts and well-being. On July 22, Caroline received another telegram: “Regret son Private J. W. Ed Inman as he appears in Australia’s Fighting Sons of the Empire, 1919. Inman wounded 25th April, not reported seriously.” Caroline now knew the rhythm of army processing and that she should have heard something about Jack in the three months that had passed. She sent a telegram back, asking which hospital he was in and, uneasy, made it clear she’d had no news of him since April 24. The army replied that it regretted not being able to tell her where he was, but assured her he must be “progressing satisfactorily”. Caroline wrote again on August 19: “I am most worried and anxious about him. I feel that there is something far more the matter with … because he has not written a line to me and it is now just upon four months since he was wounded. I know if the dear boy is alive and in his right mind I would have received a letter from him long ago. Mail after mail comes, but no word of my boy. … Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. I am longing Oh so much, to hear from him, or of him. I beg of you … to try and find out for me which hospital he is in and to what extent he is wounded, and his mental condition. I am quite prepared for the worst but am hoping for the best. …” Three more months passed, during which Caroline heard from Ed that Jack had been seriously wounded in the head on the day of the landing. In that time, Ed, Caroline, and Jack’s sweetheart, Jean, had written more than 30 letters to Jack, all of which were returned. On November 21, Caroline wrote to the army again. With extraordinary fortitude, she described what happened as witnesses had described it to her. “Several have told me that he was shot through the head seriously, the bullet entering through the front of his head and coming out at the back... Only last evening a returned officer that was in the same trench as my sons visited me and told me that he was hit through the head but not killed. When night came he was lifted out of the trench and the doctor said that he was still breathing … he dressed his wounds but he don’t know what became of him after that. … The general opinion is that he died before he reached the hospital ship. “My son, Private E. S. Inman, wrote … that it’s believed he was buried on the beach having died before he got to the ship … I cannot give up hopes of my boy, unless I get it officially … The suspense is awful. It is now seven long and weary months since the landing, surely those in charge have had ample time to find out what has become of him.” In July, the Red Cross found witnesses who confirmed Jack had been shot through the head on the morning of April 25. The gathered testimonies were presented at a Court of Inquiry on April 10, 1916, and Jack was declared killed in action. Caroline was advised by telegram on May 20. In July 1916, Caroline was advised Ed had again been shot. She wrote to the army, pleading for him to be sent home: “I feel that my sons have done their share for their country. One has given his Life, never can he return to me, no matter how great my sorrow for such a devoted and good son. Now God has brought my second son through the second time, surely I can get him home for a while. At the landing 15 months ago he was shot twice ... After he recovered from that his health broke down and he got scabies, after that, mumps, and now shot again. Poor boy, I would, oh so dearly, love to see him once again before he must go into the firing lines again. Ed would come home, but not until 1919. By then he was a lieutenant and had been severely wounded in action that resulted in his award of a Military Cross for conspicuous gallantry. Ed married and in 1921 named his first-born son after his beloved brother. Jack’s remains were never found, and his name is on the Lone Pine Memorial to the Missing.m Jack Inman as he appears in Australia’s Fighting Sons of 9. the Empire, 1919. ed by Caroline regarding Jack’s status (Missing), (Missing) July Telegram received 22, 1915.

Players from the Year 5/6 players’ group and club president Simon Rodwell are looking forward to a new season. The boys, rear from left, are Luke Brown, Gus Sheldrick, Joel Newton, Jono Williams, and front, Matt Sheppard, Harper Orton and Charlie Rodwell. Redbacks are gearing up The annual pie night is when players graduating from the Mosman Park Junior Football Club’s Auskick program will be presented with their new junior footy jumpers and tracksuits. The pie night is on Friday, May 1, at the Tom Perrott Pavilion clubroom in Mosman Park. The club will also welcome special guests from the district and the president of the Claremont Football Club to celebrate the unveiling of the premiership flag won by the Year 9s, a first in the club’s history. President Simon Rodwell said: “We are very excited about the launch of the 2015 season. “The club is growing in number year on year, and it is pleasing to announce we are once again fielding teams from Auskick to Year 8. “The involvement of our local community is critical to the success of the junior footy club and we are always looking for more volunteers in a number of roles to help around the club.” The season kicks off on Sunday, May 3. For further information on the Redbacks, go to www.mosmanparkredbacks.com.au. Even at this size they provide great sport-fishing action. Good numbers of fish are being caught along the southern beaches from Mandurah through to Rockingham, both from the shore and by boaties. The boaties get the better end of the deal as the schools of salmon start mooching their way up the coast – there are usually more fish to be caught that bit farther out. Salmon seem to converge offshore around small to medium sections of reef, chasing herring and gardies, and canny anglers target these areas. POST country has also seen plenty of salmon action, with small schools of fish spotted at Fremantle through to Floreat, City Beach and Scarborough. Just offshore from Observation City there is a section of reef that has produced plenty of salmon action over the years and if you happen to drive along West Coast Highway in the morning you will probably see a flotilla of small boats searching for a school. Salmon are great sport fish, hitting hard on either baits and lures, especially on poppers. Most are released, though some people enjoy eating them. I was recently given a recipe for salmon that sums up their eating quality. Make sure your salmon is bled well and, after carefully filleting the fish, remove the centre blood line and skin it. Rinse in salty water and pat it dry. Make up a mixture of soy sauce, lemon juice and mustard powder and coat the fillet. FISHING with Gary Shugg Then comes the interesting part. Get an old house brick and place it in the middle of a baking dish and heat it up to around 180C. Place the fillets around the brick and bake for about 20 minutes at 120C. When the brick is just about done, remove the fillets and eat the brick. That is the way old timers talk about salmon. But if you treat the fish with the respect they deserve, they are not bad eating when fresh. Salmon do not freeze well. Eaten as Japanese-style sashimi, salmon is pretty good and it is even passable when served battered or crumbed. A friend tells me that if you soak the fillets in milk for half an hour or so before cooking it takes away a lot of that “fishy” taste, which puts off a lot of fishos. All in all, salmon are a better sport fish than table fish and I would rather return a salmon to the water than put it in an Esky.

Service is from the heart The annual memorial and thanksgiving service for people affected by heart disease will be held at St Joseph’s Church in Subiaco at 2pm on Sunday, May 3. The Heart Foundation’s service is for people to come together to light candles in memory of loved ones who have died from heart disease, give thanks for those who survived and be uplifted by music and prayer. Pastor Graham Mabury will be master of ceremonies and clergy from other denominations will contribute to the service. Heart Foundation WA president Graeme Robson will welcome the congregation and there will be a tribute to past Heart Foundation president and cardiologist John O’Shea, who died suddenly last month. Guest speaker John Muir will tell the story of his inspirational journey and recovery from heart disease and the One Achord Choir will sing hymns. At the end of the service, white doves will be released as symbols of love and peace. Afternoon tea, sponsored by Mareena Purslowe and Associates, will be served in a marquee next to the church. For catering purposes, RSVP by Monday, April 27, to the Heart Foundation on 9388 3343. Dr Pinsky, who is originally from Canada and has worked for World Vision and Australian Doctors for Africa, is the speaker at the next meeting of the Naturalists’ Club. He has travelled to Papua twice, the last time going to a place so remote that only two white people had ever visited, and that was 20 years ago. There are no roads, newspapers, shops or electricity. The local people don’t know how old they are and live pretty well as they did a thousand years ago. For this talk, Dr Pinsky will focus on entomology and the amazing natural camouflage of moths, grasshoppers, butterflies, stick insects and spiders that he he found and photographed. His talk will be at 7.30pm on Friday, May 1, in the Hew Roberts Lecture Theatre at UWA’s Clifton street campus. For more information, call John on 9389 8289. Can you spot the insects? Masters in salute to Anzacs Veteran Australian Rules footballers will honour a different kind of veteran on Sunday, with a short Anzac ceremony and The Last Post. The ceremony at noon on April 26 will be part of a masters carnival at the new Wembley oval at Pat Goodridge Reserve, on the corner of Selby Street and Underwood Avenue. It is timed for after the first fixture and is for teams and spectators. Andy Caruso, the vice-president of Wembley Vets Football Club, said: “We are very proud to be welcoming a representative from the Australian Army to play The Last Post at midday. “The carnival is also a celebration of Wembley Vets’ 30th year.” There will be games from 11am to about 5.30pm.

Lorna, an honours student at Edith Cowan University, is looking at the impact of radio and rock ’n’ roll in Perth from 1955 to 1960. “I am currently recruiting for interviews with people aged between 72 and 85,” Lorna, a student at Edith Cowen University, said. “They would have been 12 to 25 during the period I am examining.” Lorna said post-war Australia was celebrating life, family, Lemnos Island and the Anzacs prosperity and consumerism. Popular culture, in particular radio, became a prominent feature of everyday life. The rise of the teenager as a category of person and a consumer of culture had a fundamental impact on the social hierarchies of many communities. Musical styles were marketed towards teenagers, and this led to an expansion of selfexpression and self-awareness among young people. If you can help Lorna with your memories, call her on 0450 469 079 or email lornab@ our.ecu.edu.au. As Australians mark the centenary of the Gallipoli landing, Lemnos Island is a place on many lips. Big cast of male actors Harbour Theatre is looking for male actors for a Gothic love story to be staged in June. The Mosman Park-based group is staging Rebecca, which most people know best from the Alfred Hitchcock film version. The film was one of the top five box office hits of 1940, garnering nine Academy Award nominations and winning in the categories for Best Picture and Cinematography Male characters are aged from 35 to 65 and range from footmen to Maxim de Winter, husband of the late Rebecca and the new Mrs de Winter. For more information, contact Nicola Bond on 0417 907 291 (after 6pm). There is also information at www.harbourtheatre.org.au/ auditions.html. The season will run from June 12 to 21. DFES asks for feedback The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) is encouraging people to complete a survey on the presentation of alerts on its website. DFES issues bushfire, storm, cyclone and other warnings in conjunction with the Bureau of Meteorology and the Department of Parks and Wildlife. The survey is available until May 31 via http://www.dfes. wa.gov.au and all members of the community are encouraged to respond.

No. 12 Lachlan Poor during this month’s under-19 junior national championships at the WA Athletics Stadium in Floreat. Gridiron teen heads for US Teenager Lachlan Poor switched sports and it has led to a big switch in his life’s direction. The 16-year-old from Newman College played rugby for three years before taking up American football, gridiron, and has now won a scholarship to the US. He plays quarterback gridiron at state level. His mother, Melinda Poor, said: “We were told he has outgrown the competition here.” By coincidence, his scholarship is for Cardinal Newman High School in Palm Beach, Florida, which is named after the same Cardinal that Newman College is named after. Lachlan will live with a host family in the US. Lachlan has four younger sisters who all play sport, including water polo and basketball. “We are a very sporty family,” Mrs Poor said. Just 100km from the Gallipoli peninsula, the Greek island played a crucial role in the eightmonth Dardanelles campaign. John Yiannakis will present a talk on Lemnos Island and Gallipoli as one of a series of talks presented by Westcoast Community Centre at the Grove library. Dr Yiannakis is a lecturer at Curtin University and will talk about the importance of Lemnos for the Gallipoli campaign and the effect that the arrival of 20th century technologies had on the people on the remote island. He will also speak about the relationships that developed between the locals and the Anzacs when he presents his talk at 10am on Friday, June 11. The first talk in the Westcoast Community Centre series is on Tuesday, April 28, when former Broome magistrate Antoine Bloemen will present a talk titled No Regrets. Mr Bloemen will tell his story, from his birth in the small, war-torn village of Bocholt in Belgium to his time in Broome. His book, No Regrets, will be available for sale. The talk is from 10 to 11am in the community room at the Grove library on Tuesday and costs $17, $12 for members of Westcoast Community Centre.

[email protected] 813sqm Page 62 – POST, April 25, 2015 Community news Health and the role of minerals UDS goes Wilde Mary Paul will describe the Dance of the Minerals at the next public meeting of nutrition group Orthomolecular Support WA (OSWA). Oscar Wilde’s comedy classic, The Importance of Being Earnest, is being brought to the stage by the University Dramatic Society (UDS). Oscar Wilde’s most enduringly popular play is a farcical comedy of wit and intrigue. It follows two friends, Jack and Algernon, who adopt fictitious identities to avoid burdensome social obligations. A playful comment on the contemporary Victorian conventions of morality, triviality and the dandy, it is a fast-paced, sharply-punctuated comedy with a healthy dose of British sarcasm. It will run at UWA’s Dolphin Theatre from April 28 to May 2. Tickets can be bought via www.ticketswa.com/event/ importance-being-earnest. Rehab for Herdsman The Friends of Herdsman Lake group helps to maintain native vegetation by handweeding and planting in rehabilitation sites around the lake. The group meets fortnightly on Saturdays, from 10am to noon. The next session will be on Saturday, May 2, at Glendalough Reserve, and all ages are welcome. To register interest or for more information, contact Sofia Vaz Pinto on 0478 524 386, Wayne Childs on 0408 980 074, or Jaclyn Chan at on 0404 803 592. Mary, who is president of OSWA and a retired home economics teacher, will explore how minerals interact or dance together, and what keeps them in balance. “Without minerals dancing through our mother Earth there can be no balance,” Mary said. She will look at how to avoid spoiling the dance with toxic heavy metals. Mary said minerals played a significant role in averting a variety of degenerative diseases and processes. People needed to understand the dance in order to keep the balance and retain health. The meeting is at 2pm on Saturday, May 2, in the Anglican church hall, 259 Barker Road, Subiaco, behind Coles. All are welcome and entry is by donation of $5, which includes a healthy afternoon tea.’ For more information, call Tessa Jupp at Post Polio on 9383 9050. High tea for mums is healthy, too High tea is an elegant way to spoil Mum the weekend before Mother’s Day. Phil and Peter Smart are having a go in Subiaco. Not toying around … Peter Smart is excited by the new remote-controlled R2D2 and Bunch O Balloons. The businessman and his wife, Phil, have taken over Toyworld Subiaco and hope the new toys will help them keep their second shop viable. The couple has owned Toyworld in Claremont’s Bay View Terrace for nine years and expanded their empire to the Hay Street shop a couple of months ago. “The landlord was the driving force,” Peter said about his newest shop. “He [Barry Lepley] approached us and said, ‘I don’t want an empty shop, and it’s not good for the area’.” Peter would not say what he was paying per square metre, but said Mr Lepley had been very supportive. “I can’t speak highly enough of him,” Peter said. Peter and Phil recently spent four days at the annual Toyworld convention in Melbourne. “We saw the new Star Wars VII merchandise,” Peter said. “The Millennium Falcon has bullets that fire and makes noises when you move it. “The new R2D2 is remote controlled, and we saw the new baddie.” Bunch O Balloons was voted toy of the year. Peter expects them on the shelves in June. “You attach a pipe to a tap and it fills up 37 water balloons at once and seals them,” he said. And the high tea hosted by Cancer Support WA will be healthy too. It will be held in Cancer Support WA’s leafy gardens in Cottesloe and will feature the group’s own Lotus Leaf brand herbal teas, raw-food cakes and a live classical music ensemble. It will double as the launch of the group’s organic herbal Lotus Leaf teas, which can be served hot or cold. The herbal teas are combina- tions of botanical flowers and herbs specially selected for their healing and harmonising effects.

As well as being Emeritus Professor of New Testament at Murdoch University, Professor Loader is a Minister of the Uniting Church. In his address he will outline what current research indicates were Jesus’ primary concerns. The findings create both a sense of distance and a sense of continuity. They also present a challenge, which is being taken up by scholars as much outside religion as within it. The talk is at 10.30am on Sunday, May 3, at Drabble House, behind Nedlands library.

Year 12 student Russell Watt gave a speech about Australia’s reliance on cars to win the Lions Youth of the Year Award for WA. Russell, a Perth Modern School student, was assessed by a panel of community leaders who took into account leadership, sporting and cultural interests, citizenship and community involvement, academic and general knowledge, personality and public speaking. Another Perth Modern School student, YiFei Li, was one of the six finalists. They were asked two questions for which they had to give impromptu, two-minute responses. They also gave five-minute prepared speeches on topics they could choose. Russell said he entered the competition as a personal challenge. “This competition was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed meeting other young people who were achieving so much in their life,” Russell said. “I found the whole experience so rewarding.” Perth Modern School principal Lois Joll said Russell was an outstanding young individual academically, in community service and in public speaking. “He is a community leader of the future,” she said. Russell competes in the National Lions Youth of the Year awards in Newcastle on April 30. Locals are invited to this practical waste and sustainability course presented by a team from the Western Metropolitan Regional Council (WMRC). The course includes handson composting and worm farming demonstrations at a community garden. It also includes a tour of a landfill and composting facility, a green cleaning workshop and tips on how to de-clutter your home. A recent participant said: “The Earth Carers’ course has helped me realise small changes can make a difference even when things seem overwhelming.” The course runs for five sessions at community centres and, at the completion of the course, participants also receive invitations to free workshops, outdoor movie nights, tours and more.

Emma Crane (19) is urging people to take up her 2015 Ethical Living Challenge (ELC). Youth of the Year Russell Watt is congratulated by Lions district governor Maxine Whitely. For three weeks from May 1, Emma is encouraging people to be part of the challenge. They will receive daily emails with information, activities and a challenge to undertake. It could be anything from writing a letter to a politician to planning an ethical holiday. Each day will have a different theme as well as action days. Emma, who grew up in Mosman Park, created ELC in the hopes of inspiring a generation of young leaders to act on injustice and to understand how their actions affect the world beyond. She argues that through consumer choices, people often facilitate harm in the developing world, fuelling slavery, causing deforestation, sustaining poverty and supporting child labour. How were your clothes made? Where did your dinner really come from? What impact is your laptop having on the world? These are the questions that ELC wants people to ask. Emma is now studying at the University of Melbourne and believes that living ethically should be the norm for society.

Bill of rights on the agenda They say everyone has at least one good book in them. With this in mind, the Society of Women Writers WA will hold Saturday writing classes on novel writing. The three full days are on May 2, 9 and 16, from 9am to 4pm, at Citiplace Community Centre in the Perth railway station concourse. The Writing a Novel course will be run by award-winning author and poet Helen Iles. She is also a manuscript assessor, publisher and editor, who will help writers set solid foundations for their novels. Two students in the Curtin federal electorate were selected to investigate whether Australia needs a Bill of rights at the 20th National Schools Constitutional Convention in Canberra. Eliza Rakich, from Presbyterian Ladies’ College, and Amelia Ikin, from Mercedes College, joined 123 Year 11 and 12 students from across the nation at the annual convention at Old Parliament House. This year’s convention topic, Checks and Balances: Do We Need an Australian Bill of Rights?, focused on the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. Curtin MP Julie Bishop welcomed the two student delegates and took them on a tour of Parliament House. “The National Schools Constitutional Convention enables students to engage in an educated debate about our system of government and any future implications of a national Bill of rights,” Ms Bishop said. “As the most important document in the history of our federation, it is important that young Australians understand the Australian Constitution and the defining role it plays in our society. “I hope this experience will encourage Eliza, Amelia and students from across Australia to take an active interest in the Helen, president of the Society of Women Writers WA, said the classes would focus on theme, plot, the development of unique characters, and sound writing techniques. “By setting the building blocks in place the novel will start to write itself,” she said. Bookings are essential because places are limited. The classes are open to men and women and cost $180 for society members or $240 for non-members. For bookings or more information, call 0415 840 031 or check the website: www.swwofwa. com.

When Verity James engages him in conversation next Sunday they should have the room at Mattie Furphy House in Swanbourne rocking. Greg, who teaches laughter as a means of getting rid of tension, says this conversation at 3pm on Sunday, May 3, will be rocking but relaxed. “I wasn’t always this cool about life,” he said. “But when I was 44, I had a stroke, and I took a new look at myself. “Miraculously, just at that time, Dr Maran Kataria, the Laughter Guru from India, turned up on the Perth scene.” Grant embraced the doctor’s new relaxation technique and went on to help establish WA’s Laughter Club. Greg Stone Grant is presenter of the Faster than Light Radio Show and also received the Chandler Award for Australian science fiction in 1996. A botanist with an honours degree in science and a lifelong passion for all things growing, Grant is also a professional librarian and an antiquarian. At a workshop on Sunday, May 10, at 3pm, exactly a week after his conversation with Verity, he will show participants how laughter induces childlike playfulness, bypassing those intellectual systems that act as a brake on true creativity. Loose clothing is recommended and the willingness to have fun. Mattie Furphy House is in Allen Park heritage precinct on the corner of Kirkwood Road and Clare Copse. The conversation costs $10 and the workshop is $30, with afternoon tea included. For more information, contact 9384 4771, Monday and Thursday, or email fellowshipaustralianwriterswa@gmail. com.au.

She said she began her series of sculptures called Forget Me Knot, made from shark netting, when she heard the news of Bryn Martin’s disappearance off Cottesloe beach in 2011. Trapped features a series of sculptural works telling intricate stories of things trapped and taken by destructive ocean rubbish. Cecile has always been drawn to marine debris for her artworks. “I like using materials to tell a story, and things that have washed up on shores have their own stories, their own histories – they tell a story already.” She used plastic flotsam and jetsam collected from the beaches of Christmas Island for her previous exhibition, Contained, part of the 2010 Perth Festival. Cecile is involved with Ghostnets Australia, which highlights the danger of “ghostnets”, discarded or abandoned fishing nets that float the world still “fishing” until they wash ashore. With Ghostnets Australia she has been working as an artistin-residence with communities around Cape York, Torres Strait and the remote islands and communities north-east of Darwin. “It’s double-edged,” Cecile said of the artworks she and indigenous artists have produced with the netting. “Netting is a great material to work with, very strong and the women [in arts communities] make fishing bags, hammocks, shade cloth.” ■ Please turn to page 70 ■ Cecile Williams with a sculpture from her Forget Me Knot collection.

Here is a woman who successfully turns expectations on their head. Florence (in a wonderfully vigorous performance by Nicola Bartlett) is a grandmother with an adventurous spirit and a determination not to let age stand in her way – especially when it comes to picking up Robert (Tim Watts). He is a serial womaniser half her age who is besotted by the idea of a mature woman introducing him to a whole new lifestyle. But instead of being life-affirming, Florence becomes deliberately provocative, flirtatious and even cruel in her reactions to the expected shock of Robert’s friends. Old Love has a simple premise – Robert finally wants his best friends, Jim and Gabby, to meet his ■ Girlfriend and grandmother, Florence (Nicola Bartlett) shows photos of her grandchildren while flirting with Jim (Nick Maclaine). girlfriend of three months. They are naturally shocked and surprised by Florence.

The sharp wit and humour of the first half give way to underdeveloped egocentric concepts of living in the moment, with a seahorse curiously muddying the waters further. I confess I was disturbed by the play – perhaps because I am close enough to Florence’s age to want more from her than mere provocateur. Writer Chris Isaacs and director by Jeffrey Jay Fowler promised a disturbing play to provoke discussion and, with four strong performances, they have succeeded. Plays from The Globe go global Lovers of Renaissance literature around the world will now be able to freely enjoy the works of Shakespeare’s contemporaries, thanks to an online project begun by Brett Hirsch, assistant professor of English at the University of WA. Digital Renaissance Editions publishes critical editions of English Renaissance drama, making Renaissance plays available online with modern spelling, with multimedia notes and commentary. The project involved an international team of researchers, theatre practitioners, and software developers, as well as partner institutions and theatre companies in Australia, Canada, the UK and the US. The series has already received enthusiastic endorsements from some distinguished actors of stage and screen. Vanessa Redgrave (Call the Midwife) who started her career with the Royal Shakespeare Company, wrote: “The Renaissance stage was filled with brilliant, powerful plays that are unforgettable once they are seen or read.

Other patrons of the project include James Franco (127 Hours) and Mark Rylance (Wolf Hall). Brett Hirsch said: “We need to remember that Shakespeare was not writing in a vacuum. As one out of some 200 known playwrights in the period, he represents less than 1%. Our mission is to stand up for the 99%. “Many of these plays have never been published, let alone edited by expert scholars,” Brett said. “It takes dedicated work to make these 400-year-old plays accessible in a format familiar to modern readers of Shakespeare.” Some 24 plays are currently being prepared, but Brett said that more than 800 plays had survived from the period. The project was officially launched at the annual Shakespeare Association of America meeting in New Orleans last month. Anyone with an internet connection will now be able to read Shakespeare’s works alongside plays written by playwrights who inspired or took inspiration from him. nothing wrong with you, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. What is the “you, plus something”? A passion, an interest, a hobby, a quest. Something you can share. No person is guaranteed a relationship. You may not find your one for a while. If we told you this person will not show up for seven or eight or 10 years, what would you do now? Life is not a waiting room where we wait for someone to make our life what it should be. You have to breathe life to the fullest. Travel, scuba dive, kayak, learn to cook. Join Toastmasters. Change careers. Dive in and start doing it. Be fearless. If you feel defeated, you won’t show enough to be attractive. We need passions in life. Sitting around and waiting for someone to show up is not an attractive quality. The more you focus on what you don’t have, the more you are pumping out despair. Since there is nothing wrong with your wallet or your looks, it must be your appetite for life, your awareness of life, your activities in life. The woman you are interested in won’t be bought, she has to be won. Even if we are wrong about you, how could improving your life not make you more attractive to a woman? Make the most of every day you have on this planet. Don’t pick up a magazine in the waiting room of life. When that person comes along, she will be an enhancement to what you already have.

Noel, an Irish actor and theatre lecturer, knew nothing about O’Meara, an Irishman who had migrated to WA and then fought in World War I. O’Meara was a stretcher bearer on the Western Front in France and was described by one officer as “the most fearless and gallant soldier I have ever seen”. He is credited with rescuing more than 25 soldiers from no man’s land, was shot three times and trapped for several days alone in a trench.

The former Scotch college student started studying accounting at UWA and then did marketing for a while at Curtin until he decided to put his studies on hold to go and work with wine.

We don’t believe our palates have abandoned us completely, but it doesn’t happen today. It’s because of the number of wines now available. The latest edition (2015) of the Wine Industry Directory lists 2481 commercial Australian wineries and we get to taste only a small percentage of their produce. There are now many Australian wineries we have never heard of. In the past year, 103 new wine companies were listed, while 195 went out of production. South Australia makes about 48% of Australia’s wine and Victoria around 18%, though Victoria, which has many small wineries, has the most producers at 745 compared to 703 in South Australia. WA now has 366 producers, a considerable number considering we make a tiny 4.5% of all Australian wine. Nearly all wine companies produce white and red table wines while only 28% now make fortified wine. Sparkling wine production has been rising rapidly and now 41% of wineries sell their own fizz, even though there has been intense competition from well-priced imports. For those who enjoy visiting cellar doors to taste and buy wines, the number of these outlets has been decreasing. Eighty-five cellar doors have closed in the past three years and this is probably an indication that on-line buying is gathering momentum. Edwards 2014 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Although tiny in quantity, the quality of wine made in WA is of the highest order and this Margaret River white blend is top notch.

During the war, Doris went out dancing almost every night, and it was at the Embassy Ballroom in town that she met and fell in love with the ballroom’s MC, Dick Edgar. They were married in 1943. In 1945, Doris danced with a tall good-looking English officer who said: “I can’t tell who I am but you’ll soon find out.” It was Prince Philip, who by then was courting Princess Elizabeth. For many years, before moving into a nursing home in North Perth, Doris lived next door to Leederville actor and director Michael Loney. She shared with him many memories of her days in the Australian Women’s Army Service, when she ran the medical supplies store in Northbridge, her dancing partners and husband-to-be Dick, who gave her free entry tickets to the Embassy. Doris’s memories of the music, the blackouts and the so-called invasion of the US marines have inspired a musical play, The Catalinas of Crawley Bay, which recognises the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. With musical theatre performers and writers Izaak Lim and Nick Maclaine, Doris and Michael have crafted a love story set in and around the Embassy Ballroom, as emotions ran high among young Australian men heading off to war leaving wives and girlfriends behind with wealthy Americans who danced, wined and dined them. Doris recalled that the US marines had the money for taxis and alcohol and could take girls to hotels like the Captain Stirling, Steve’s and the Cottesloe. Doris said her sister had fallen in love with an American, but in the end decided she could not live in in the US. Michael Loney said: “I have been in constant communication with Doris and her long-time friend Charles, who danced with her at the Embassy. Charles still visits Doris twice a week before going dancing.” WAAPA graduates William Groucutt, of Mt Claremont, and Elouise Eftos, of City Beach, play RAAF pilot Les and his fiancee. When they met Doris last week they were full of questions about life in the 1940s. She confessed that though she was always supposed to wear uniform in public, she nearly always sneaked out in “civvies”. In the musical performance The Catalinas of Crawley Bay, William, Elouise, Stephen Madsen and Chloe Wilson, with pianist Kohan van Sambeeck, will perform classics like The White Cliffs of Dover, Happy as a Sandbag, You Must Remember This, As Time Goes By and Brown Slouch Hat.

It has since become so popular with professional and amateur orchestras and choirs that it has been performed more than 1000 times around the world. The title of the antiwar mass comes from the 15th-century folk song, L’homme Armee. Among it inspirational sources is the Islamic call to prayer and text from the Mahabharata, as well as quotes from Dryden, Swift and Kipling. The Armed Man is usually performed by a symphony orchestra and massed choir.

POST Page 74 – POST, April 25, 2015 TIMEOUT ■ entertainment Technology leads audience a step farther SARAH McNEILL Master barista Iain Audiences have become an integral part of theatre-making in recent years. Several years ago, groups like Perth’s PVI collective started “agitating” audiences with projects taking people out on to the street using technology as their guide. Perth Theatre Company loves taking audiences on unsuspecting journeys. In 2009, it first produced An Oak Tree, involving one actor and an invited guest who knew nothing of the play. Last year’s White Rabbit Red Rabbit involved an unprepared actor who received the script onstage, and audience participation. Then this year’s Perth Festival’s premiere of I Wish I Was Lonely explored connectivity directly with the audience and their mobile phones. Technology is often employed to guide, direct and to engage in an entirely personal and individual experience. Now independent theatre company Side Pony Productions takes it a step further. The play, The Confidence Man, recruits six audience members each night, who are then equipped with headsets that guide them through the story using a combination of sound track, narration and prerecorded dialogue. Co-creator Adriane Daff, Pre-dawn caffeine Sheppard is no stranger to getting up at the crack of dawn, so he decided to greet Anzac Day with an early morning coffee service from 3.30am. Iain is part of the collective at Rok Art Cafe at 269 Rokeby Road, opposite the Subiaco War Memorial. The cafe will open its doors for people heading out to dawn services, serving coffee, bagels and cakes from 3.30 to 6am, and then offering its usual breakfast and lunch menu until 2pm.

Through their headsets, each character has their own pre-recorded internal monologue and instructions as well as dialogue. The rest of the audience can tune into any of the characters’ stories, eavesdropping on their private thoughts and conversations or follow the thriller from several perspectives. Adriane said that with the help of sound designer Sam Price and composer Ash Gibson Greig, the play had been carefully timed “to within an inch of its life”. Adriane said that in Melbourne they found people were coming to watch the show and then returning, wanting to be a part of it. The Confidence Man is described as a “choose your own adventure psychotic thriller”. ■ Presented by Perth Theatre Company and Side Pony Productions, The Confidence Man is at the Studio Underground at the State Theatre Centre from April 30 to May 10.

POST, April 25, 2015 – Page 75 REWIND Boychoir (PG) What the critics are saying… ✪✪✪ ■ Banksy Does New York (M) REVIEW: PIER LEACH ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪½ The old treat-’em-mean and watch them flourish routine is back in action in French Canadian director Francois Girard’s film, Boychoir. It is a more benign and sweet-hearted version of last year’s superb, Oscar-winning indie darling Whiplash – with angelic pre-pubescent choirboys rather than thrashing post-adolescent percussionists. It is also a lot more feel-good and predictable. Scripted by Ben Ripley, following up his sci-fi thriller first feature Source Code, and featuring a top cast including Dustin Hoffman, Kathy Bates and Debra Winger, the real star of Boychoir is the heavenly choral music. Girard, who directed The Red Violin (which won an Oscar for best score) and Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould, as well as several opera productions, has a wonderful sense of bringing aural pleasures to the big screen. Boychoir is essentially a coming-of-age story about “Unlike the excellent Banksy-directed documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, Chris Moukarbel’s doc has no official input from the artist – aside from Banksy’s art, that is, which is all over the film,” says the Onion’s AV Club. The “premise is that the real art of Banksy’s residency was in the way that New Yorkers interacted with the pieces ...” The Hollywood Reporter says: “Whatever one thinks of Banksy or his work, there’s no denying that he’s a brilliant provocateur whose satirical digs at the absurdities of the current art scene have struck a deep chord.” ■ Testament of Youth (M) ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪½ ■ Dustin Hoffman as the esteemed and demanding Master Carvelle. a troubled kid named Stet (newcomer Garrett Wareing) who loses his alcoholic mother in the film’s opening scenes. He is the product of a fling – his wealthy father (Josh Lucas), who has his own family of teenagers and an unsuspecting wife, doesn’t want anything to do with the boy. However, the father’s sense of responsibility extends to covering the boy’s tuition at boarding school. So with the help of a large cheque and the encouragement of his teacher (Debra Winger), he is given a place at the American Boychoir School – despite what his esteemed new tutor Carvelle (Hoffmann) regards as an insupportable attitude problem. Though Stet is undeniably talented and has an angelic treble voice to match his cherubic face, Carvelle won’t hear of him being admitted into the touring choir, which is reserved for the best of the best – a decision supported by his stuffy offsider (Eddie Izzard) but quietly protested by a junior teacher (Kevin McHale), who advocates for the boy. Of course, we all know where it is heading. Ripley’s script doesn’t stray from the tried and true triumphover-adversity formula as Carvelle’s tough love eventually pays dividends in a stunning rendition of Handel’s Messiah, the success of which anxiously relies on one choirboy’s ability to hit an extremely difficult high note. Girard calibrates the story for maximum feel-good effect. It’s sentimental and unsurprising, but its message about seizing the moment – in this case, before puberty – is a reliable one. The great doona escape SARAH McNEILL When Lawrence Leung first started out in comedy he wanted to escape back to his childhood. His childhood didn’t start out as a joke. The small, nerdy Chinese boy (born in Melbourne to parents from Hong Kong) was a prime target for school bullies, but Lawrence quickly learnt that “everyone likes the funny kid”, so he became a prankster and a prat-faller. His parents wanted him to be a doctor, but his ■ Lawrence as reluctant hero Simon Chan in Maximum Choppage.

He said his now-successful writing career was a result of his teacher’s “big hug and little push”. He began to write his own shows, exploring all the things he had done or wanted to do in his youth. Shows like Lawrence Leung Learns to Breakdance (2007: Best Australian show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival), Time Ninjas (2009: Jury Award at the Sydney Comedy Festival) led to the ABC television series, Lawrence Leung’s Choose Your Own Adventure (nominated for a 2009 AFI Award), revolving around Lawrence’s attempts to relive childhood ambitions. After a 21-night sellout season in Melbourne, Lawrence comes to the Perth Comedy Festival with his next childhood adventure, The Escapist, inspired by the time his brother tied him up in a doona and left him to escape, Houdini-style. His career has developed across all genres, including writing and presenting his own documentaries like Lawrence Leung’s Unbelievable, writing for The Chaser’s War on Everything, reporting for SBS TV’s The Feed, and as an actor – the obstetrician Elvis Kwan in Offspring. His most recent project was writing the script for and now starring in Australia’s first kung fu comedy series, Maximum Stoppage (ABC2). “I don’t know the first thing about martial arts,” Lawrence admitted, “but I learnt my own stunts and I became a black belt in faking getting hit.” ■ Lawrence Leung The Escapist is on for one night at the Octagon Theatre, UWA, on May 1 at 9pm.

If you don’t want the kerb or footpath in front of your property sprayed, you can opt out of the program by lodging an exemption form with the Town. Residents who apply for an exemption are asked to maintain the kerb and footpath outside their property to the same standard that would be achieved by chemical control. Lanes and drainage sumps will also be sprayed with Roundup plus Simazine; a herbicide that attacks weeds before they emerge from the soil. Throughout August and September, sportsgrounds, parks and road reserves will be sprayed with selective herbicides to control bindii, clover and other turf weeds.

Just like the hip restaurant, which has a philosophy of warming your heart and nourishing your soul, this home has a rooftop terrace and vertical gardens. A pair of creative types from design firm Studio Atelier have transformed the original 1903 cottage into an urban oasis in the heart of West Leederville. Their architecture and design experience in bars, hotels and restaurants shines through the home, which artfully combines character features with contemporary elements. The challenge of working with a 273sq.m block stoked the creative fires of the brothers, who bought the home when it was run down and the back garden covered in weeds. “It was a diamond in the rough,” one of them said. “But we knew it had great bones and potential.” With its bespoke lasercut screen fence and garage door, the home stands out in the street. The original lounge room at the front was converted to a main bedroom with a built-in robe and ensuite. The bathroom is an example of old and new combining with style: a recycled jarrah shelf hints at the home’s roots while the encaustic tiles from Sydney are thoroughly modern. As soon as you walk into the main living area, the eye is drawn to pockets of greenery inside and outside. The dining area faces a vertical wall of succulents, while the living area opens to a courtyard with frangipani trees, bamboo and other plants. The focus of the courtyard is a bar, which is ideal for breakfast or for a tapas-style dinner. A black, spiral staircase leads up to Gen Y heaven – a rooftop terrace with bean bags and a view of the trees in the park opposite.

But for owner Fiona Melville, it was the eclectic blend of art deco, European and contemporary styles that drew her to this home. The property is a smorgasbord of aesthetic treats – from its dramatic sweeping staircase with hand-crafted stainless-steel balustrade to its travertine floors and Italian lights. Ms Melville said the original owners, who built the home on the 826sq.m block 15 years ago, were inspired by different styles and eras. “It’s not just one style – it’s a mix,” she said. “They were also very conscious of quality and craftsmanship.” Ms Melville said she bought the property five years ago after she fell in love with the many luxurious finer details that can be found in every room. Designed by Walter Hunter and Penny Watson and built by Tony Biagioni, the home has plenty of space and separation for family living. Downstairs, a big open-plan kitchen with Gaggenau and Miele appliances features granite and stainless-steel benches. Also downstairs is a stunning light-filled sunroom with a skylight – the perfect place to curl up with a good book in winter or open out to the pool area in summer. The backyard alfresco area features Kimberley stone paving and a below-ground heated pool with a water feature. ■ ABOVE: The outdoor alfresco dining area overlooks the pool and lush gardens.

Australia’s first Byzantine-style monastery has been erected near Sydney. Perched on Mangrove Mountain, about 90 minutes north of Sydney, the Pantanassa Monastery is a contemporary rendition of ancient Byzantine architecture. Design Delta Architects combined modern design practices with ancient materials to create the Greek Orthodox monastery. Born of the Byzantine Empire (also known as the Eastern Roman Empire), Byzantine architecture is characterised by big arched and vaulted ceilings, robust stone structural walls, mosaic tile decorations and dome roofs with curved roof tiles. While the Pantanassa Monastery is now complete structurally, it has a long way to go before it is ready for monks to move in. They talk to the trees in Melbourne If only trees could talk ... well they can, in Melbourne. A Floreat university student emailed an endangered tree in Queen Street, with this thought-provoking question: “They say you’re dying. Do you know that?” She also asked if trees could feel pain. It took a while for London Plane 1023366 to reply (it must be hard work being a tree, especially when your life expectancy is less than 10 years). But sure enough, the response came through last week: “Thanks for your email, I am a bit slow this time of year. Us plants and trees live a bit of a secretive life full of mystery to humanity. I think us plants can feel pain, but it’s a concept that might be difficult to comprehend.” So why are the grammatically challenged trees talking in Melbourne, and not in Perth? The City of Melbourne wants people to connect with trees, and has created an interactive urban forest map that provides individual data on 70,000 trees in the city.

Local newspapers are full of stories about Perth’s currently overstocked rental market and the effect this is having on investors, many of whom purchased while the city was still in the grip of the mining boom. However anecdotally often the stories don’t match what’s happening on the ground and can often be the result of the media looking for the next hot topic before dumping it and moving on in another direction. Abel McGrath Investor Service Manager, Sandra Pereira, says the rental market is not the doom and gloom that is currently being portrayed in the media, it is simply a reflection of a very competitive market. She says owners who have been quick to respond to the change in market dynamics have experienced only a minor downturn, but she says there are ways to ensure they hold on to good tenants if they already have them and attract new ones if they act on sound, informed advice. Ms Pereira says the higher than usual vacancy rates are expected to continue over the next 12 months as supply continues to outstrip demand with rental rates continuing to decline or plateau. “Factors that have contributed to this slow down in the Perth rental market include a slow down in the population growth compared to previous years and the recent slow down in the Western Australian resources sector,” she says. “There has been a saturation of new developments in recent years and also an increased uptake of first home owners taking advantage of grants to build their own homes.” However, she says investors who work with the market by ensuring their properties are competitively priced and presented to the highest possible standard can expect to lease them within or before the average current time frames. “Making sure they offer dishwashers, air-conditioning and will consider pets for tenants will ensure their properties are chosen over other competitors.” Ms Pereira says it is more important than ever in a competitive market to listen to the advice of an experienced property manager who is dealing with tenants and leasing properties every day. She says some renters are currently asking for rent reductions, given the state of the market in Perth at the moment. “If owners have a good tenant and the reduction is reflective of where the market sits, then they should consider a reduction in order to maintain a stable tenancy,” she says. “However it’s always a good idea to seek the advice of the property manager before making any decisions.” “Like all markets, the rental market is prone to fluctuations and while it has softened considerably this year, growth will eventually return,” she adds. Ms Pereira says demand for Western Suburbs rental properties remains strong because of the diversity of accommodation available and its proximity to premium quality schools, UWA, the CBD and beaches. She says in terms of ensuring your property is presented looking its best to the broadest possible market, she recommends owners use professional photographers, relocation agent contacts, cross reference enquiries, employ professional cleaners and install dishwashers and air conditioning if they haven’t done so already.

[email protected] COMMERCIAL Commercial and Industrial Leasing Commercial and Industrial Sales Retail Leasing Property Management Stephen de Courtenay TO LET 0413 515 190 ALL AREAS A car versus bike crash in Marine Parade Cottesloe, October 2013. Dr Craig Pennell is treated by paramedics after his cycle was hit by a car. • From page 1 Residents who complained to the council said Marine Parade was a commuter rat-run, speeds were too high and traffic calming was needed. Marine Parade resident Shirley Primeau told a council committee it was a recreational area. “We want to create a community sense, not one where people just zoom through for a glimpse of the ocean,” she said. However, Mr Elkins said traffic counts showed highest traffic levels at weekends, suggesting it was dominated by recreational not commuter traffic. The average speeds were below the 50kmh maximum for most of the road. Hooning was a metro-wide problem, out of the control of the council, and would not be affected by a lower speed limit. Mr Elkins said there had been problems with drivers identifying crosswalks, with cars striking two pedestrians at the John Street crosswalk, and with two rear-end collisions at the same spot during the three-month study period. There were crashes at other crosswalks. Mr Elkins suggested raised platforms for the crosswalks, but mayor Jo Dawkins told the meeting these brought complaints about noise from local residents. Another complaint was about car and motorcycle clubs parading their vehicles along Marine Parade. Mr Elkins aid this was not dangerous but was antisocial when vehicle exhausts were loud. He said the council could consider whether this sort of activity was part of the deal when choosing to buy a property in Marine Parade. Another suggestion was to block off one or both ends of Marine Parade, but Mr Elkins said this could have a serious effect on traders on the beachfront strip. Complaints had been sparked partly by the death of a motorcyclist at the intersection of Sydney Street and Marine Parade. The study found that Sidney Street, though used as a by-pass, did not carry high speeds. Ms Pyvis said a similar beachfront at San Diego, in California, had taken a different approach, Day makes it easier for developers Aldi: We will • From page 5 “Similarly, increasing the mandatory thresholds [from $7million to $10million], will allow applications which would have previously been required to be determined by a DAPs to be determined by the local government.” Councils will also be given the option to refer multiple and group developments to DAPs under the change. Mr Day is responsible for introducing the DAP system in 2011, which has seen controversial projects pushed through against council and community concerns. Nedlands mayor Max Hipkins said: “Research by the Local Government Planners Association has demonstrated that DAPs are costly, take longer to obtain approvals and have no greater approval rate than council approvals – but developers like them.” Mr Hipkins, a town planner and architect, said the changes were a punishment for councils. “The new policy is payback for local government reform failure,” he said. He said the limits for referring applications to DAPs were too low. “In NSW, the minimum threshold is $50million, confined to projects of state and regional significance. The same should apply here.” Cambridge mayor Simon Withers said councils were better at dealing with planning applications. “Most developers will get the same or a similar approval from our council process as from the DAP, but developers who want to overreach will always chance their arm with a DAP because they know they will get nowhere with the council,” he said. “The advantages of going through the council are that issues can be worked through and resolved informally before the formal approval meeting, and the council does not require as many consultants’ reports, which can be costly, to be produced prior to formal approval.” Mr Withers said though the change was welcome the upper limit should have been at least doubled. “I would have preferred the ceiling to have been lifted to $20 million or more,” he said. “When it works well, the local government development approval process is far superior to the DAP process, but I accept that some councils are difficult to deal with. “We have to give applicants a better customer experience than a DAP, otherwise they will take the DAP route,” he said. Stirling planning boss Ross Povey said the city council had always been against DAPs. “The city remains opposed to DAPs and believes they should be abolished, with full planning powers returned to local government,” he said. “The city’s views were subsequently supported by the findings of the final report of the Metropolitan Local Government Review Panel in July 2012, which recommended that local government planning approval be reinstated as a priority,” he said.

The committee also wants to update Cottesloe’s bike plan, investigate reducing approach speeds and the Marine ParadeCurtin Avenue intersection, and promote lower speeds between Eric and Forrest streets. • From page 1 She said he had carried it around the world until he eventually settled in Canada and decided to sell it to a dealer for a couple of hundred dollars. “Within a couple of hours he realised he should not have sold it and rang the dealer to try to buy it back but he said he had already sold it,” she said. Eventually the flag ended up in Edmonton, Canada, with a collector of World War I memorabilia. “He realised it was an iconic piece that should be in Australia,” Wendy said. She saw it mentioned in an internet blog when she began research for the Nedlands exhibition. She said the flag had been authenticated by military historians and World War I experts. The flag has a patch sewn on to it with the date, April 25, 1915, and the signature of the stretcher bearer who first retrieved it, Staff Sergeant Arnold Doyle Kemp. When he was sent to England he sent it to his commanding officer, Dr Douglas McWhae ,who started a practice in St George’s Terrace, when he returned from the war. “The collector had been trying to research A.D. “Kimp” until he realised what he had thought was the dot over an i was a small hole in the fabric,” she said. Wendy said she received an email message on Christmas Day that the collector was willing to lend the flag for the exhibition. “I thought all my Christmases had come at once,” she said. She recruited the help of Museums Australia WA which covered the loan agreement and insurance. Then four weeks ago Wendy bought her own ticket for the trip to Canada to pick it up and bring it back to Australia. She was in Edmonton for 36 hours, and the flag went on show at the historical society’s headquarters this week. On Sunday, May 3, Wendy will be giving a public talk at 1.30pm. The exhibition is open Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 5pm. The campaign to raise money to buy the flag is being run online at australianculturalfund.org.au and expires at the end of June. The money raised is to cover only what the collector paid for the flag, Wendy said. She said the collector was so aware of the significance of the flag he had been one of the first three contributors. TheWA3rdFieldAmbulance C Section was formed in 1914 as support for the 3rd Infantry Brigade, which included WA’s 11th Battalion. Pictures in the exhibition show it started with 50 men, including Simpson, famed for using a donkey to carry the injured. Only 14 men returned from the war. The bugle belonging to Lance Corporal William Roscoe is also on show along with an extract from his diary. “Pulled for shore under very heavy fire. Jumped out of boat neck deep in water,” he wrote. honour leases • From page 3 for a study of potential redevelopment of the shopping centre and the neighbouring Captain Stirling Hotel site to avoid the government stepping in and taking over. Another supermarket chain, Woolworths, has twice asked the council to rezone the hotel site and land around it to enable a supermarket to be built there. Nedlands council rejected both requests. The shopping centre does not need to be rezoned because it is already classified for shops. The two sites were owned by members of the same family. Liberal Party doyenne Marie Louise Wordsworth owned the hotel and several housing blocks backing on to it. Family companies now own the housing blocks. Mrs Wordsworth’s brother-inlaw Bruce Campbell owned the shopping centre. A trust put the centre and other estate property on the market last year following Mr Campbell’s death. Priest won acclaim • From page 6 awarded the honour and the only one to receive a combat medal. By the time the Rev. Fahey returned to Perth, he was a household name. But the self-effacing priest politely declined newspaper interviews. “I have never been interviewed and I don’t know what to say,” he said. “I don’t know anything, anyhow, so what’s the use of you wasting your time?” He was appointed Cottesloe priest in 1939, where he remained until his death in 1959. Mrs Marchant James said people loved to attend the witty priest’s services because they knew if it was a nice day, the keen golfer would ensure a “meaningful but short” sermon. “It was rumoured he used to wear his golf trousers underneath his robes,” Mrs Marchant James said.

Paul 0412 736 291 Carnarvon growers whose crops were devastated by Cyclone Olwyn gratefully accepted help from their food-loving city cousins last Sunday. More than 200 passionate WA foodies came together in Perth last Sunday to raise funds for farmers and growers in the state’s food bowl who are recovering from the cyclone’s destruction. Held at Perth’s Urban Orchard, Chefs for the Gascoyne brought together 20 chefs and more than 40 suppliers for a gourmet extravaganza and a great celebration of community spirit. WA food ambassador Don Hancey said he was delighted with the way the day went. “Everyone had a great time. We were very lucky with the support we received from the producers all over WA and from chefs in Perth – it made the day really special,” he said. “More than 90% of produce we used yesterday was donated, and all of our chefs gave up their time to attend.” The event raised more than $25,000, which will be given to the Gascoyne Food Council to assist with the promotion of Carnarvon produce in the future. Fred Fairthorne, of Farmer Jack’s supermarkets, also presented Gascoyne Food Council chairman Paul Shain and vicechairman Michael Nixon with a $100,000 donation. Gascoyne Food Council executive officer Alex Maslen said the growers have been overwhelmed by the support shown to them by the Perth community. “Cyclone Olwyn caused more than $10million worth of damage to growing infrastructure and tens of millions in crop losses overnight,” Alex said. “Our 194 growers are very resilient and will do their best to get their winter crops down to Perth as soon as possible. “It certainly helps them to know that people in the city are aware of their struggle and care about them.” More information about Chefs for the Gascoyne and the Gascoyne Food Council can be found at gascoynefood.com.au $100m plan for Wearne • From page 7 taken all liability for maintenance of the heritage buildings at no cost to the councils and now wanted to develop them for community use. “Our aim is to develop the site so we can have all of our community facilities, such as reception centres, heritage education centre and cafe in this beautiful heritage building to draw people in,” he said. “That will be great for our residents but it will also be great for the wider community. “That’s what is happening in the eastern states. Aged-care facilities Century of tradition • From page 19 their lives for freedom and for their country.” WA Governor Kerry Sanderson and Turkish Consul-General Chait Yesetener were among the guests at the event. Acting principal Chris Hill said Shenton had a strong connection to World War I and subsequent conflicts. “We are the custodians of the Lemnos hospital [which] was a repatriation hospital for the many West Australians who were mentally scarred by the war,” he said. “The hospital wards of Lemnos – Gallipoli, Borneo and El Alamein – are remembered in the naming of our middle school communities. “The buildings in which Lemnos cared for many of those who had served in the 20th century, have been refurbished as beautiful 21st century classrooms.” Many defence families sent their children to the high school today, Mr Hill added. “Today we recognise their service as well.” are only going to get bigger as they service more people, so it makes sense that they are available to the wider community.” He said Curtin Care wanted to replace the carpark behind the Marine Parade entrance with a garden that local people could enjoy. “We are not-for-profit and we are here to benefit to community. We have long-term aims to help the aged residents of the area and we want the community to have control of that care,” he said. Mosman Park mayor Ron Norris supports transferring the council's share to Curtin Care at no cost. “They need certainty in the tenure of the Wearne land so they can raise the funds to provide independent living accommodation and redevelop the site,” he said. “Many people in the western suburbs want to downsize but they wish to stay in the area. “That may well be a transition in the future to the managed care which Curtin Care will continue to provide. “If this transfer doesn't occur then it is likely that the redevelopment of the Wearne site will not happen and that would be a tragedy. “I have no concern that this is likely but conditions could be applied to the transfer which ensure the land cannot be sold to others. “I commend Curtin Care for the responsible and cautious way they are approaching the future of the Wearne site and will continue to help them any way I can.” Curtin Care also operates RiverSea in Mosman Park. The day-to-day running of both centres is outsourced to Bethanie. For more information go to curtincare.com.au. • From page 1 two big China Green projects from its Shanghai office. A LandCorp spokesman said the guide was intended only to promote opportunities to land developers. “It is not for people to come and buy apartments,” he said. “At no stage has LandCorp actively promoted to potential overseas investors to purchase finished apartments in the Claremont on the Park. “LandCorp offers the land for built form construction to developers through an open market expressions-of-interest process. “As a result, we have selected two experienced and proven local developers, being Georgiou Developments (one site) and Mirvac (WA) Pty Ltd (two sites), to construct the first three residential sites in the precinct. “LandCorp has put into place an extensive place making strategy that has been developed in consultation with key stakeholders associated with the project, including councillors. “With community-based participation at its centre, the strategy is designed to help develop Claremont on the Park as a safe, vibrant place where people feel a strong sense of ownership in their community.” Pearce behind Chipper development Greg Pearce, the man behind the recently approved $96million redevelopment of the Station Street Markets, already has a second project lined up in Subiaco. Speaking at a property forum last week in the CBD, Mr Pearce, owner of Windsor Knight, said he would be redeveloping the site of the Chipper Funeral Home in Rokeby Road, in a joint venture with the well-known family of undertakers. He said the site was 1800sq.m and that he planned to put one retailer on the ground floor, commercial above that and high-end apartments on top of that. “This site is unique, because of its location,” he said, adding it was the “Paris end” of Rokeby Road. “That end of Rokeby Road has a high level of amenity ... it’s almost downtown without all the negatives of downtown – there’re no drunks falling out of the Club Kahuna or whatever nightclub. “Those who know my nocturnal habits, you’ll know it’s very close to that eccentric bar, Juanita’s, which I think is the best thing to happen to Subiaco for a long time.” Fix it quickly Renovating or repairing your home?

Page 94 – POST, April 25, 2015 Austin Robertson’s sporting Here come the Dockers When he was picked at No. 20 in the 2009 national draft, Nat Fyfe was an 18-year-old who looked like he might not get in to the Aquinas College ball without ID. Since then, he’s grown whiskers, huge pecs and biceps along with a rippled six-pack, all in one explosive football package. Put simply, Nathan Fyfe is three footballers in one: he plays short, he plays tall and covers the ground at full bore, like a football version of a V8. The legend of Nat the Magnif has already begun, and, at 23, he is still nowhere near where he might end up. From his mop of hair – like an unkempt eagle’s nest – to the tips of his golden feet, he is The Man. On Sunday afternoon, Fyfe and his Dockers compadres put the sword to their cross-town rivals, the West Coast Eagles. For a full week, Dockers and Eagles supporters had all sorts of questions: who’s tagging who? Which coach will get outcoached? Will Nic Nat finally put four quarters together (or even take a mark)? Which mid-field will get the upper hand? The WCE faithful packed into Subiaco Oval for their home Derby like sardines in a tin, expectant, excited, exhilarated – until the first bounce. From then on, the game was like watching a replay of The Alamo. Even with John Wayne, Richard Widmark and a few other tough red-necks showing courage and fighting spirit, they were simply over–run. To the Eagles’ credit their mid-field finally got out of low gear and actually won the battle of the scoreboard after the first quarter. But, particularly after half time, the Dockers had already turned the game into a witch’s hat training drill, looking as though they were practising set plays for other days. Despite this performance, I think the Eagles can still make the eight, but everybody looked devastated when the only player shining down the back, Jeremy McGovern, limped off with a sore knee that might sideline him for a couple of weeks. The Dockers, on the other hand, have raised the bar again. They look 15% better than last year. Just glance through their list and you’ll see more stars than the Milky Way. The mid-field is big, well tooled and powerful, as well as quick and extremely talented. Heading this arsenal are Fyfe the dominator, David Mundy and Michael Barlow (who has a tendency to keep slipping under the radar), and with the Three Amigos Stephen Hill, Danyle Pearce and Michael Walters, this represents an awesome group. Throw in Lachie Neale, a protégé built like a Sherman tank, and you’ve got the best and most talented mid-field in AFL football. Go forward and you’ll find The Pav, who has discovered the elixir of youth: he looks as sharp as he did five years ago. Big Sandi just keeps being Big Sandi and he’s got tall support in Matt Taberner, who gets better each week, and Zac Clarke, who I’ve already predicted will have a breakout season this year. Throw the spotlight down back and you’ve got hardened, chiselled veterans like Luke McPharlin and Michael Johnson, surrounded by excellent intercept players Garrick Ibbotson, Clancee Pearce, Cam Sutcliffe, Lee Spurr and Nick Suban. Waiting in the wings are Anthony Morabito, Alex Silvagni, Jon Griffin and Zac Dawson; Tendai Mzungu, who’s a top-22 player getting some game time in; Tom Sheridan, who’d worked his way into the team before injury; a little bloke named Hayden Ballantyne; and a couple of big young defenders in Alex Pearce and Brady Grey you’re going to hear more about. The Dockers’ cup runneth over. Nat Fyfe is proving hard to tag. Women’s big Wednesday SURFING with Damian Lipscombe The peak of Wednesday’s big swell proved a fitting time to run the women’s final of the Margaret River Pro at Main Break with a thrilling heat between two 22-year-old lifelong rivals. Gary Springer has worked with hundreds of Fremantle footballers, including past Docker Troy Cook. Springing into fitness You’d imagine the heritagelisted 1897 Victoria Pavilion at Fremantle Oval, that houses Springer’s Gym, to be a dreary space, with dripping pipes and peeling paint. Nothing could be further from the truth. While most gyms have similar characteristics, the gymnasium run by Gary “Springer” Ingraham, is neat and tidy, no weights or dumbbells scattered willy-nilly, punching bags all in a row. This is a good space. It’s airy. It’s orderly. And it’s historic. And there’s the cutest little half-sized boxing ring. No room for faint hearts in there. Then there are the sounds: the thudding of the heavy bag, the rat-a-tat-tat of the speed bag, the grunts and groans from the exertion of the heavy weights, the sweat dripping off noses and perhaps the tears, from guys and girls on the running machines, as well. “They all come to train,” says Gary, nicknamed Springer in his early 20s because of his long, spikey and uncontrollable hair. This is where the Fremantle Dockers send players who need special care and special training at a special facility. Springer has had hundreds of Fremantle footballers through the doors. “All the guys have been through here at one time or another,” he said. Stephen Michael, Brad Hardie and Maurice Rioli have worked out there, and, of course, all the Dockers. I had to ask who was the best boxer he had encountered. “Without doubt Michael Walters,” he said. “He has great natural speed and hits with a sting.” And the most feared? “No doubt there either – Big Sandi,” he said with a wry grin. “He’s 125kg, as strong as an ox, and hits harder than a mule kicks.” The Ingraham pedigree also surprised me. “My dad, Doug, played full forward for Souths in a game you were playing for Subiaco,” he told me. The penny dropped. Gary’s grandfather was the great Souths ruckman, Dave Ingraham, who was selected in the WA Team of the Century and won the Simpson Medal for best man on the ground in the 1948 grand final, one of his three WAFL premiership victories. Apart from being a boxing referee who has handled some world title fights Gary is also an accredited judge. Top-seeded and in-form Hawaiian Carissa Moore was denied a Margaret River hat trick, outclassed by Courtney Conlogue, who controlled both the final and her board more confidently in the challenging triple-over head waves. Conlogue generally rides longer surfboards and prefers bigger conditions, and it showed. Slow-motion replay showed the extra commitment that she was throwing into her turns and her gutsy big-wave approach. Earlier, Conlogue had outmanoeuvred another Kauai surfer, Malia Manuel, with several serious barrel-rides during their semi, but with the tide maxing-out and wind becoming more variable it was the big open-face lay-back combos that came into play for the final. Despite an exciting exchange, no excellent scores were registered, with Conlogue’s 8.43 with 10 minutes to go enough to seal the deal. It wasn’t to be for Moore, who had become accustomed to beating Conlogue going into the final with a 9 v 3 ratio. Conlogue’s emphatic on-edge surfing was the only thing that was ever going to deny the yellow jersey wearer her fourth final win on the trot. Moore began rolling when she won the last event of 2014 in Hawaii, going on to win the year’s first two events, on the Gold Coast and again at Bells Californian dark horse Courtney Conlogue enjoyed some of the event’s biggest, cleanest waves to win. Past winner Jake Paterson last month.
