Cottesloe charges:

Boys record
sickens

By DAVID COHEN
A magistrate said she was appalled by the violent criminal
history of a 16-year-old boy accused of assaulting a Cottesloe
dinner party guest.

When will the widow


maker strike again?
BBy BRET CHRISTIAN
Peter Wrights house in
Rosalie Street, Shenton Park,
is framed by a huge and
beautiful street tree, but he
lives in fear of a giant limb
crushing his home, with no
compensation.
After small branches from
the verge tree fell from the
lemon-scented gum, damaging
his car, he was told he was not
covered by Subiaco councils
insurance.
Another branch fell on
Monday, damaging Mr Wrights
front fence.
I love trees, but with this one
you never know whats coming
down next, he said.
A series of branches had
dropped over five years, he said.
The trees were called widow
makers because they randomly
shed branches, especially in
hot weather.
A similar tree at Parliament
House became notorious for
dropping branches close to

people, causing minor injury.
Mr Wright said the council
had refused to lop the branches
overhanging his house but told
him in a phone call that he
could be prosecuted for lopping them himself because it
was listed as a significant tree.
He said that, in any case, the
cost of lopping the giant tree
would be astronomical.
I want the council to take
down every branch overhanging
the property, he said.
When his car was damaged
last April, Mr Wright wrote
to the council, which said it
was submitting his claim to
Local Government Insurance
Services, the insurer run by the

Local Government Association.


The insurance company had
replied that the city was not
automatically responsible for
damage caused by the tree.
Branches may sporadically
fall from trees without any external indication or forewarning, the LGIS said.
The council was not negligent
as it could not have prevented
the failure of the branch in
reasonable circumstances.
It suggested Mr Wright claim
from his car insurer.
The council said an independent arborist had inspected
the tree and recommended
some pruning, which was done.
The tree and two similar trees
in Rosalie Street are listed on
the councils register of significant trees.
At this point in time the
citys urban forest is under
considerable threat from development and a drying climate,
the council says.
Significant trees cannot be
removed or pruned and there
can be no verge development.

I feel sick listening to this,


magistrate Andre Horrigan said
in the Perth Childrens Court last
week after the teenager pleaded
not guilty to attacking Denyse
Rodriguezs brother, Gavin,
outside her Curtin Avenue on
November 2.
Ms Rodriguez and her guests
were left to fend for themselves
after police did not respond to
numerous 000 calls on the night
(POST, November 7).
The violence prompted Ms
Rodriguez to call at last months
Cottesloe ratepayers AGM for
private security for the suburb.
Last Tuesday, the South Lake
boy pleaded guilty to aggravated
assault on his former partner,
stealing, and breaching a violence restraining order.
The court heard he was 15
when his de facto relationship
with his heavily-pregnant partner
ended after an argument last May
in his mothers house.
The boys mother separated
the two, but he had followed
his 32-week pregnant partner
outside and lashed out.
He grabbed her hair and
pulled her towards him, a
prosecutor said.
He tried dragging her back
into the house ... the victim felt
a sharp pain in her left side.
The boy later told police: I

attack. ABOVE: Denyse with a car

wanted her to talk to me.
The violence restraining order
was served on the boy on July
29 but two months later he saw
her on a Beeliar street.
He grabbed her by her hair,
pulled her to the ground, and
kicked and punched her multiple
times, the prosecutor said.
He pulled her up by her hair
and called her a slut.
The girl had scratches and
bruises on her arms and face.
The boy was picked up by
Wembley police three weeks
after the dinner party violence,
after he stole a litre bottle of
Wild Turkey and a bottle of
Smirnoff apple vodka from the
BWS in Station Street, Subiaco.
Aboriginal Legal Service
lawyer Monica Collard said the
boy had been at a party before
he assaulted his partner.
He had had alcohol and cannabis on the night, Ms Collard
said.
The matters ... are very serious. It was a complex relationship.
Ms Collard said the boy had
lost his father at a young age.

In defence of
Elizabeth Quay

Quay sustainable?
The letter by S. Fielding (Bettys Jetty
Sustainable, POST January 23) could not go
unchallenged.
The majority of large development sites at
Elizabeth Quay are unsold.
No timeline has been issued by the government as to when these sites will be sold and
developed.
The largest sites Ritz-Carlton, Brookeld,
and Chevron sites, apartment blocks and the
site adjoining the station -- make up more than
half of the quay and are all unsold.
Promises prior to the quay development,
that funds from the sale of these sites would
recompense thepublic purse, should have had
a default clause, as it appears they wereelection promises (like the Ellenbrook railway):
not meant to be taken seriously.
At present all taxpayers have is an inlet
surrounded by sand which we are told will
be grassed to allow publicuse until the large
sites are sold.
How many years will it take?
How long before the quay area isnt a dusty,
noisy building site ?
The site today actually comprises the old
Esplanadewith a small pond, for which all the
taxpayers of WA have paid millions of dollars.
Several lesser entities restaurants, burger
bars, gelato outlets are not yet open for business. Will they ever be?
Yet the author describes this scenario as
sustainable!
When? Ten, 20, 30 years from now?
Sustainable as long as the taxpayer keeps paying for this massive ego trip by the Premier and
the billions of dollars decit, to the detriment
of other more urgent community needs such as
education, health, police and transport

Why we still use snail mail


In Putting its stamp on it,
(Letters, January 16), Jean Goh
queried why the University of
WA sends out invitations to its
bi-annual meetings of Convocation
by mail rather than email.
From its inception, UWA has
seen its graduates as life-long
members of the university, and
accorded them the privileges
commensurate with this standing.
In the UWA Act passed by the
State Parliament in 1911, provision was made for the creation of
Convocation as the electorate of
the university, so that every graduate can participate in the election
of members of the Senate and the
Council of Convocation and have
the right to attend the bi-annual

Stephen Lipple is right on target
with his comments (Golf clubs
duty to protect the bush, not bulldoze it, Letters, January 16).
The land which Cottesloe
Golf Club hopes to build on is a
scarce refuge and a corridor for
our wildlife, which
increasingly suffers
from habitat loss.
A socially responsible club would strive
to conserve, not develop, this asset.
By the way, this land

of Western Australia,

Dr Linley Lutton (Was the Quay really worth


it? POST, January 16) has several bees in
his bonnet when it comes to Elizabeth Quay,
namely lawns, Colin Barnett, 30-storey buildings, trafc congestion and interstate architects.
No amount of entertainment on the Esplanade
lawn would remove the dual carriageway separating people from Perth Water.
Despite the fact that the Carpenter
Government did most of the planning, Dr
Lutton still blames Colin Barnett personally
for Elizabeth Quay.
As far as tall buildings are concerned, its
better to be taller with an intervening skyline
than lower and broader cheek by jowl. Any
slowing of trafc can only benet pedestrians
accessing the water front.
Finally, his concern that an interstate architectural rms proposal was judged the best
by an independent panel holds little water.
Dr Lutton appears unaware that the architect in charge of the Perth ofce, where the
bulk of the winning design was produced, is a
UWA graduate and a fth generation Western
Australian.
Sounds very much like local input.

Spaniel savaged by
placid greyhounds
By DAVID COHEN
Heather OFlanagan was
fined $1500 in the Perth
Magistrates Court last
week over two unmuzzled
greyhounds she was walking
in Wembley that savagely
attacked a King Charles cavalier-spaniel cross.

I knew a few golfers who threw their bags into Lake Claremont, Colin Barnett
told Claire Brittain, as they admired the western suburbs jewel on Thursday.

Claremonts jewel impresses


Claire Brittain has passed the
$500,000 mark in grants shes
won for Lake Claremont.
The first couple I applied for
I didnt get, the Claremont resident said.
Since then Ive been pretty
successful.
Premier Colin Barnett congratulated Claire on Thursday morning
as they strolled around the thriv-

ing wetland.
Claire and the lake volunteers
do a great job and have multiplied
the grant money many times over.
Lake Claremont is a western suburbs jewel, said Mr Barnett, who
walks his labrador with wife Lyn
at the lake in winter.
Nearly two-thirds of the grant
money has been from state government agencies.

Ms OFlanagan wept as she


told Magistrate Joe Randazzo
about the attack by the dogs
she was walking, which left
the spaniel needing surgery.
Mr Randazzo heard Ms
OFlanagan was walking on
September 8 last year just after
7pm in Dargin Lane.
Lawyer David Nadebaum,
for Cambridge council, said
both greyhounds and the
spaniel were on leads.
He said the man with the
spaniel moved to the side and
retracted his lead, to let the
greyhounds pass.
But they pounced at the
complainants dog, and
he jumped in the air, Mr
Nadebaum said.
The spaniel was bitten on the
hindquarters and a right leg.
The greyhounds shook the
spaniel, and its owner shouted
at Ms OFlanagan to call the
greyhounds off.
One greyhound released his
bite, but the other shook the dog
violently, Mr Nadebaum said.
The complainant kicked it
in the head a number of times.
Eventually two people in a
car stopped nearby, shouted
and the spaniel owner got his
dog back.

Post-surgery The marks of a twin greyhound attack, three days


after it happened.
The people in the car took
the injured dog and its owner
to Wembley Veterinary
Hospital, where it was clipped
and cleaned and treated for
puncture wounds before having surgery the next day.
Council rangers followed up
and discovered Ms OFlanagan
was fostering the greyhounds
under the Greyhounds as
Pets program for Racing and
Wagering WA.
Ms OFlanagan told them she
thought there was no need to
muzzle the dogs, because they
had had training.
Ms OFlanagan was charged

with two dog attack offences


under the Dog Act.
She told Mr Randazzo she
had fostered 10 dogs and had
never had problems before.
She said she had been looking after the greyhounds for
about three months.
The dogs had a very placid
nature [before the attack],
she said.
I had no reason to believe
theyd act in that way.
Mr Randazzo heard
Greyhounds as Pets had compensated the spaniel owner.
He ordered Ms OFlanagan
to pay $1293.60 in court costs.

Road closure for circus


Celebrity chef Ian Lawless
was apologetic about a partial
road closure in Claremont.
Hed told retailers St Quentin
Avenue would be closed between Church Lane and Avion
Way on Thursday from 4pm.
But the closure was from

2pm, and for Friday as well.


It was completely my fault,
and I apologised, he said, after
a shop owner complained.
The closure is for Claremont
Quarter co-owner Hawaiians
Food Circus, which will have
more than 20 stalls.

colourful splash of contemporary Chinese culture
at the University of Western Australia this year
A team of 18 young performers from the Zhejiang University
Wenqin Art Troupe are set to take over the stage at UWAs Octagon
Theatre with a special Chinese New Year show on February 10, 2016.

WAs multicultural community by making Chinese language, art
and culture more accessible to all.
Additional shows would be held in Bunbury on February 11 and
Albany on February 12, giving regional West Australians a rare
opportunity to see such a high calibre Chinese performance.
We have ourished for more than ten years in Perth, and we aim

Sparklers to celebrate
New Year
The New Year started better
last week for a Subiaco-based
company than it had in 2015.
Last week Lucapa Diamond
Company announced that it had
discovered a 133.4 carat diamond
at its Lulo project in Angola.
The precious stone was the
companys largest ever find.
It also found other big stones
from 11.1 carats to 29.2 carats
from a trawl of 15,000 bulk
cubic metres of alluvial soil in
two mining blocks.
The companys shares jumped
nearly 10% at the news.
Lucapa is one of the companies
based at 34 Bagot Road, Subiaco.
The owners of the Subiaco
premises which houses several
businesses faced an expensive
two-year planning and legal
stoush with the council because it
was using part of the upstairs of
the building as offices, without
council approval.
Even former WA Leader of
the Opposition turned lobbyist Matt Bierney was brought
in to try to smooth over the
row, which ultimately ended
up with the Magistrates Court
handing the owners a small fine
late last year.

Angle grinder started Wandana fire


The Australia Day eve fire,
which gutted a ninth floor flat
in the 10-storey Wandana block
in Subiaco, was sparked by an
89-year-old man cutting a mattress with an angle grinder.

Owston Street Party house no


more.

It is understood he was unable to


get the mattress out of his unit on
his own and decided to cut it up.
Wandana is home to about 300,
mainly aged, people.
Six fire trucks from Daglish,
Perth City and Osborne Park fire
stations rushed to the scene on
Monday night after the fire alarm
went off.

Cops pull
party plug
Police had the music at a
noisy Mosman Park Australia
Day party turned off at 4am on
Wednesday.
Residents heard the raucous
event, at 17 Owston Street, from
several streets away.
They said dozens of partygoers left lots of rubbish, pushed
over bins, and screeched their
car tyres when they arrived
and left.
The vacant property has
sweeping river views, and is for
sale from $6million.
Party host Nick Strickland,
who hired bouncers and put up
a fence, did not return messages
from the POST.
Cottesloe police went to the
property seven times between
10am on Australia Day and 4am
on Wednesday.
Mr Strickland told officers he
would not host any more parties
at the property.

Forced strata sales

Two ambulances and four police
cars also arrived.
Charlie Eastgate, a Wandana resident for 18 years who lives below

heard him running around or it was
the other way around and when I
looked out my balcony I could see

Eastgate said.

under new laws approved by
state Cabinet.
Its a big one, valuer Gavin
Hegney said about the proposed clause for forced sales
of remaining units if 75% of
owners agreed.
Before this, the new heights
[for development on Marine
Parade] meant more in theory
than in practice.
Overall its a win for the
broader community, but it
comes at a fairly high individual price for some people.

People who buy into a strata


[block] will need to know what
the strata company, or other
owners, are thinking of doing.
Mr Hegney said there was
a queue of people looking to
sell their suburban homes for
$2million, buy a unit, and have
money in the bank.
It suits that expanding demographic, but it comes at a
cost. Theres no question its
a win for the development
industry.

Tonya gives back after a dream life


Tonya McCusker left school
in Perth at 14 to follow a dream.
She had won a scholarship
to study ballet under Russian
ballerina Marika Besobrasova at
LAcademie de Danse Classique
in Monte Carlo.
This was the toughest period
of my life, she said. Training
in dance during the day, all the
lessons were in French, and
studying by distance learning
in the evenings.
Back in those days there
were no computers, so I would
receive a huge bundle of books
and papers every month which
I would pick up from the post
office near the Monte Carlo
casino.
Those two years in Monte
Carlo made me appreciate the

value of hard work and never


giving up.
Tonya went on to dance with
the Australian Ballet, became
a lawyer and later married
Malcolm McCusker, who became
Governor of WA.
Tonya was the eldest of four
daughters.
My father was a white Russian
born in Harbin Manchuria [a
Russian colony in north-east
China] before he migrated to
Australia in 1949 as a young boy,
after his father died of tuberculosis and when communism
came to China.
The family arrived, my
babushka and her three sons,
speaking no English.
Dads was the typical migrant
story working three jobs to put

himself through medical school


and then becoming a leading
orthopaedic surgeon, working
with Sir George Bedbrook at the
old Shenton Park Rehabilitation
Hospital.
My mother was a 10 pound
pom who came to Australia
as a child and then went into
nursing.
One of Tonyas sisters,
Amanda, also went into nursing
and is a theatre nurse at King
Edward Memorial Hospital.
Another, Nicola, is a senior
lawyer.
Tonya said when she was living in Monte Carlo lessons were
suspended when the Grand Prix
came to Monaco.

Subiaco rejects latest DevWest plans


By LLOYD GORMAN
A revamped plan for a $30m
building in Hay Street, that
now includes a tavern was
rejected by Subiaco council
last week.
The council was asked to make
its recommendation to the local
development assessment panel
for a six-storey block with offices,
shops, units and a tavern on two
levels for 250 patrons at 263-277

Hay Street and 17-19 Olive Street.


Nine councillors voted against
the plans presented by developers DevWest, with councillors
Mark Burns and Peter McAllister
supporting them.
The DAP will decide on the
project on Monday at a public
meeting in the Department of
Planning, 140 William Street.
Five neighbours objected at
the council meeting.
Jackie Greenshields, who owns

a house two doors away from


the proposed site, said: The
19m solid cement wall facing
Churchill Avenue is ... an invitation for antisocial behaviour and
a loss of our village lifestyle.
She listed other problems
in terms of the projects bulk
and scale, overlooking of front
and backyards of surrounding
houses, noise, poor design and
the tavern.
Linda Rogers, from Park

Street, said the proposal was


even bigger, bulkier and more
confronting than DevWests
original designs for the block.
It is almost as if the developers have decided to squeeze
every possible inch out of the
space available with no consideration of community or impact,
Ms Rogers said.
We also have the prospect of
89 bins lining the streets.
And a gloriously high cement

wall that will be a magnet for


graffiti bombing.
John Bouffler, of Barker Road,
said he had many concerns with
the proposed building.
The original proposal for
this site was considered by the
council over three years ago,
and the current application is
significantly larger than what
was originally declined by both
the council and DAP, he said.

Remember that old


school class photo?
By DAVID COHEN
Scotch College archivist
Peta Madalena wants to
spark memory spasms at a
Claremont exhibition opening
next week.

Schools in Scotch College archivist Peta Madalena at Freshwater Bay Museum in Claremont.

Subi loses bank

Peta and other school archivists have made big contributions to School Days, which
opens at the Freshwater Bay
Museum on Thursday.
Peta found a rowing honour
board in a Scotch storeroom.
Its from the Goland Club,
which was set up after the death
of rowing coach Bill Goland,
Peta said.
He died in the 1940s and was
a good friend of [long-serving]
headmaster P.C. Anderson.
Bill used to work at the Perth
Mint and hed catch the train
to Scotch after work.
P.C. Andersons daughter
would take him back to town
on a horse and gig.
Other Scotch treasures on
show will include a 1910 class

photo, where young boys sat at


the front and older students at
the back.
There are a couple of images
that will take people back to
completely different times,
Peta said.
Pictures and objects like
these spark memory spasms.
There will also be a Scotch
theodolite in the exhibition.
I have a photo of a Mr
Winters using it in his teaching
in the 1960s, Peta said.
He served in World War II,
his boat was torpedoed, and he
worked on the Burma railway.
He saw the worst men can
do.
But he was an exceptional
person with a positive attitude and took a science post
at Scotch.
These are the sorts of memories that come out of archives.
Peta said school archivists
had collaborated closely on
the exhibition.

THE

A local branch of Suncorp Bank in Subiaco


has been closed in favour of a new Perth
CBD outlet.
In the run-up to Christmas the bank shut
its office at 177 Rokeby Road, in the heritage
building, known as Doyles Court.
Renovations on Doyles Court started late
last year.
The renovation works had no bearing on the
banks decision to close its Subiaco branch,
a Suncorp spokesperson said.
We regularly review our branch locations
to ensure we are in the best location to support our customers and their banking needs.
Initial feedback indicates our new branch
on St Georges Terrace, which opened in
November last year, is meeting the needs of
our customers in this region.
Meanwhile, demolition work on Subiaco
Church, immediately behind Doyles Court, also
started late last year and the site is now cleared.
Members of the church continue to use the
main hall, which is accessed from the Rowland
Street carpark.
The church group hopes the new building
will be finished in time for Christmas.

Australia Day Honours 2016

Taking the oath at 92


Seventy-five years ago,
Dorothy Alberta Wattam drove
an overhead crane in a British
steelworks as part of her contribution to the war effort.

Artist captures colours of the bush


Philippa Nikulinsky loves
the bush and said she was
thrilled when she converted
her mother.
Philippa grew up in Kalgoorlie
in the Goldelds and became an
artist capturing the heart of
WAs ora and fauna.
My Mum was from New
Zealand and she used to say:
The bush is so grey and so dry
until I took her out there,
Philippa said.
Her parents met in Kalgoorlie.
Her father had been a farmer
but the farm failed during the
Depression, although he went
back to it afterwards.
Her mother was working for
her uncle, who was a diamond
cutter.

Mrs Nikulinsky (73) lives in


Dalkeith and her name is synonymous with the beautifully
crafted paintings of birds and
plants that for 20 years graced
the covers of Landscope, the
magazine published by the
Department of Parks and
Wildlife.
Her work appears on ne
china and she has written and
illustrated books, the latest
with her Russian-born husband,
Alex.
She had a native orchid,
Cyanicula nikulinskyae, named
for her in 2000.
I do not know how it came
about, she said.
On Australia Day she was one
of a handful of West Australians

to become a member of the


Order of Australia.
I am really chuffed. I have
been very lucky, she said.
Each Australia Day, Philippa
hosts a long-table lunch for
family and friends and sets
guests a task.
One year they had to each
stand up and say in two minutes
where they came from and how
they came to be in Australia,
she said.
It was fascinating.
This year they had to come
armed with an A4 print of an
Australian painting of their
choice and had two minutes to
talk about it.
Mrs Nikulinsky has four sons
and nine grandchildren.

On Tuesday, the Cottesloe resident (92) became an Australian


citizen.
Her daughter, Ann, said the
women who worked in the
Sheffield steelworks had no
hearing protection and were
deafened by the noise.
They pop-riveted half-inch
sheets of steel to make helmets,
Ann said.
Most of the women are dead
now, but in the last few years
they have been getting some
recognition and are known as
the Women of Steel.
Ann said Dorothy, from
Yorkshire, made 26 trips to
Australia before she became a
citizen.
Shes been living here since
she was 85, after her husband
died, Ann said.
Im an only child and she
couldnt live on her own.

CAMBRIDGE NEWS
HAVE YOUR SAY on SKATE PARK lights
Interested community members are
invited to share their views on a
proposal to install timer-controlled
floodlights at the popular Perry
Lakes Skate Park.
Cambridge has recently applied
for grant funding for Stage 2 of an
expansion of the skate park which
would allow for the construction of
a peanut bowl, shade shelter and
floodlights.
The plan is to install four towers
around the perimeter of the skate park
with lighting controlled by a timer
mechanism that would automatically
switch off the lights no later than
10.30pm. For the safety of park users
an alert would sound five minutes
before the lights go out.
Floodlighting of the skate park would

extend activity time for skaters and


present opportunities for youth and
family-focussed evening events and
skating competitions.
Your feedback is welcome and will be
used to inform a report on the matter
that will be presented to the March
2016 meeting of Council.
Feedback can be provided by

Australia Day Honours 2016

Doctor loved
UWA and Kings Park

New chapter
for book
academic

Shirley Marie Watts life-long


passion for UWA and Kings
Park was recognised this week
with a Medal of the Order of
Australia (OAM) for her service
to tertiary education and the
community.

Library academic Kerry


Smith has moved with the
digital times but she is sure
books will not die.
Everyone thought e-books
were going to replace books,
but where are they now?
Dr Smith, a former Curtin
University associate professor,
was this week made a member
of the Order of Australia.
She and her husband, Ray,
were both from Sydney.
After living briefly in City
Beach, his job in the mining
industry took them to Canada
and the US.
But their hearts were in WA
and they settled in City Beach,
eventually buying the first house
they had lived in when it came
up for sale, and they are still
there.
They are now as rooted in
the WA community as the wildflowers Kerry has a passion for
through the WA Wildflower
Society.
A former Cambridge town
councillor and deputy mayor
in the 1990s, she is noted for
her dry humour and forthright
approach.
She is also a member of the
council and executive of the
Royal WA Historical Society.
Kerry said after she and
Ray had two sons Daniel, an
emergency medicine doctor,
and Matthew, an engineer
she signed up to study to be a
librarian.
Since then her career has
blossomed.

Dr Watt knew she had been


nominated but died last April.
Grandson Kade Brown said
she was a remarkable woman.
Born in rural Victoria in 1927,
her family moved to WA when
she was young and most of her
life was spent attached to UWA.
Shirley dedicated herself to
the university community because she had received so much
fulfilment from her academic
career, Kade said.
Entering her undergraduate
degree at the tender age of 16,

Tonya McCusker with her family, son Nikolas Tonnison (20)


husband Malcolm McCusker,
James Tonnison (15) and Mary
McCusker (7) enjoying the beach.
She has been a member of
numerous professional bodies
and was named WA special
librarian of the year in 1995.
A former national president
of the Australian Geoscience
Information Association, she
said she got hooked on the subject from the days she helped
archive her husbands work
papers.
She said she loved archiving
and it was something she spent
time with at the Wildflower
Society.
I do tend to get sidetracked
and interested in whatever I am
reading, she said.

Father who cares


for many children
A former father of the year,
Floreats David Vernon has
devoted his life to improving
things for children in care.
He and his wife thought they
were so lucky, in their 20s, to
have two daughters to whom
they could give a steady home,
they began fostering children.
He was director of the
Parkerville Childrens Home
from 1978 to 2004.
He would be out bringing in
hay one minute then dealing
with top-level politicians ... the

next, said Davids daughter


Justine, who also went on to
foster children.
David (72) has five grandchildren.
He said that when he was
working he wanted to be a
constant person in the lives of
youngsters who needed someone.
He served on committees and
boards dealing with residential
care services.
He was lauded with awards,
and this week he was awarded a
medal of the Order of Australia.

High-flyer Wendy a role model


Secretaries can be high flyers too, Wendy Ireland tells
young girls when she talks
about her job.
And in her case, it proved
to be literally true when she
qualified for her pilots licence.
Wendy lives in Phillip Road,
Dalkeith, and for more than
30 years she has worked for
former WA Premier Richard
Court and the Court family.
A former member of the
Institute of Office professionals, Wendy was the Office
Professional of the Year in 2003.
She represented Australia
for the Association of
Secretaries and Administrative
Professionals in the Asia
Pacific awards in Singapore
the following year.

she went on to win various prizes


and bursaries, and her research
was published widely.
She fought for, and won, opportunities that had previously
been awarded only to men.
This strong, smart, dignified
woman possessed a thirst for
knowledge and a determination
to constantly better herself.
Between 1981 and 1992 she was
an academic at the Department
of Physiology.
Dr Watt was also a life member
or member of several university
groups such as the Friends of the
Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery
which she also sponsored,
UWA Convocation, University
Club, Friends of the Library
and Friends of the University
of WA Music.
When the chance came to live
close to the Crawley campus she
and husband Stan, founder of
Snap Printing, bought an apartment off the plans for Strathearn
in Kings Park Avenue, the first
high-rise apartment block in
the area.
Shirleys love for UWA was
matched by her love of nature,
particularly the Australian
bush, Kade said.
While she grew up in
Karridale, she chose to live
much of her adult life on the
edge of Kings Park.
Here she was known to take
afternoon strolls by herself, kicking along a honkey nut and stopping to identify flowers and birds.
Her 27 years as a Kings Park
volunteer guide allowed her to
connect with people from across
the globe over her love for native WA flora.

The hat method of firefighting


Western Australia has failed to
meet the challenge of uncontrollable wildres as recent tragedies
have shown.
An old forester friend of mine,
the late Jack Thomson, told me that
the time to ght a re is when it is
no bigger than your hat.
In Jacks day, the 1930s to the
1960s, res were spotted from towers located on hills throughout the
south-west forests.
Sightings were phoned by
landline to the relevant Forests
Department office and foresters would be sent to the re on
horseback.
There were some major res in
WA in those days (1937 and 1961),
but not four in the same year.
In spite of all the technology at
our disposal, it seems we are less
able to control res now.
The success rate, or reliability,
of prescribed burning is questionable.
Wildres still occur, some prescribed burns escape to become
wildres, and their adverse impacts on the environment are many
and serious.
Three factors influence the
extent of a wildre: the weather,
fuel management and ignition
management.
We can do nothing about the
weather.
Fuel management has the least
inuence. To be effective it would
have to be conducted so often that
it would be economically and
environmentally unacceptable.
Ignition management means
stopping res from starting (most
res are started by people), quickly
detecting those that do start and
attacking them immediately.

This is where we should focus


our attention as any delay in attacking a re means it can get bigger
and harder to combat.
Despite all this, the WA
Government has allocated $20million over the next four years to
conduct more prescribed burns in
the South-West. This is in addition
to the annual state-wide prescribed
burning budget of $10million.
The Australian Government is
providing $15million over three
years to states and territories to
assist with bushre mitigation
programs.
These generous re protection
dollars could be allocated to the
purchase or hire of helicopters
and water bombers ready to be
deployed the moment a re is
detected. This could be done
Australia-wide, with all states
collaborating to buy and share
equipment and trained personnel.
With satellite imagery, drones
and spotter planes, and most people with access to mobile phones
and the internet, it should be possible to detect a re within hours,
even minutes, of its ignition, and
to notify the relevant authority.
The attack could then begin immediately, when it would have the
best chance of success.
We must look to the future and
try to make sure disasters like
the Waroona/Yarloop re dont
happen again.
We need to look outside the box.
More of the same is not the answer.
It hasnt worked in the past and to
just keep on doing it wont make
it work in the future.

On behalf of the WA Forest Alliance
Nedlands

Do you have a mystery chilli?


If you happen to have a
surprise or mystery clay pot
with a healthy well-loaded
chilli plant in it, we may have
an explanation for you.
Nobody bought it from a
bloke in a pub.
Sorry if this disappoints, but
nor was it one of Santas little
helpers who picked it up from
our front garden in Mosman
Park last week and delivered
it to your place.
It was more likely a powerfully-built person, or somebody

with a trolley. Maybe a vehicle.


We guess it would be a 10kg
combination of pot, soil and
plant.
So the deliverer would need
to be fairly strong and might
appear a little awkward if you
ask a few times about exactly
where this lovely plant came
from
Anyhow, because Im getting
a bit old and sometimes forgetful and we have many pots
in our garden, Im not sure if
that is the pot that gives off an

awful smell when its watered


because I planted a dead cat
in there as natural blood and
bone, before we put the little
chilli plant on top.
You could send it back here
any time.
But if you like chillis, and
the slight background smell
of a decomposing cat, enjoy!

not published, in case dead cats
are delivered)

Majority should rule in strata laws


I have never written previously, but this time felt compelled, in an effort to bring
some balance and common
sense to the argument about
strata laws.
I know this sort of hysteria
makes great headlines for
newspapers, but before everyone gets too excited, and jumps
to the defence of owners who
dont want to sell, consider
these points.
I am more interested in
strata complexes in general,
rather than just Seapines, as
that is a situation where an
existing owner is buying up
apartments in the building.
What about where a developer comes in from the outside
and approaches the owners?
What if, in a 100-unit complex, 99 owners wanted to sell
out and one didnt?
Is that fair ?
What if the building is falling down, and that one owner
wants to keep spending (wasting) money maintaining it?
Is that fair?
Fine, that one owner doesnt
want to sell, but why then
should the other owners be
forced to keep spending their

hard-earned money?
And they do have to, as the
strata laws require it.
What if the other 99 owners
say to the one owner: Lets all
redevelop the land together
and we all get a new apartment, plus all the prots that
the developer would get, and
the one owner still says no.
Is that fair?
I dont agree with anyone
being forced out of their home,
and thats why the new laws
will have various checks and
balances.

I am sure there is no perfect


system, but I suggest that the
new laws will bring some balance back.
After all, isnt that how most
things in life work: based on
majority?
When you buy into a strata
development, you are buying in
with a group of other owners.
Most other decisions in a
strata complex are based on
a majority vote. Why shouldnt
this be?

Black hole in Mt Claremont


I was very pleased to read
that NBN is scheduled for Mt
Claremont in the second half
of this year.(NBN releases
plans, POST, January 23).
I have lived in a new subdivision in Mt Claremont for 18
months and am unable to get
the simplest form of internet
and have to rely on my mobile
phone, which is also temperamental in this area.
According to Telstra, there
are no ports left to plug
into and they referred me to

Nedlands council to organise


more infrastructure.
The council quickly handballed it back to Telstra!
If I pay Telstra $7000, they
may be able to up-grade the
area!
My neighbours have highschool children who rely on
the internet far more than me.
But apparently we must wait
for NBN and will our houses
even be included in the rst
stage?

Its not enough, Nero! Get out and fight those fires
I read with interest your article 100,000 target for native
plants (POST, January 23),
outlining WESROCs (Western
Suburbs Regional Organisation
of Councils) decade-long initiative subsidising residents
to replace water-devouring
exotics with native plants.
WESROC is to be commended for this and other
admirable initiatives, including a Community Waterwise
Forum in May last year, and
their 2010 climate change risk
assessment and adaptation
study.
The study demonstrates
that our western suburbs
councils are well aware of
the approaching devastation
of climate disruption: threatening our bush and native
species with extinction; our
health with airborne diseases;
our capacity to play and enjoy

sport with ever more extreme


summer temperatures; our
coastal properties with ercer
storms, and so on.
I am concerned, however,
that our western suburb councils are acting somewhat like
Nero putting out his cigarette
while Rome burned.
At the same time as we are
urged to plant natives, development proposals threaten our
ever-diminishing urban bush.
Just some examples: UWAs
proposed development at
Underwood Avenue bushland;
proposed DHA development at
Seaward Village encroaching
on neighbouring bush in Allen
Park; Shenton Park Rehab
development removing 50% of
a narrow remnant bush corridor strip; cleared banksia farm
at the corner of Rochedale
Road and Stephenson Avenue;
an apartment block in Alfred

Road of 150 units (zoned for 50


units) chopping down heritage
bush; and proposed development on the edge of Cottesloe
golf course, part of an ecological corridor.
Perhaps not all these developments can be stopped
by council intervention. But a
good start to really protecting
the western suburbs, and the
planet, from climate disruption
would be a blanket refusal
by the WESROC councils of
any development application
which impacts an urban bush
or wildlife corridors. Not a
single tree should be cut down
without a good reason.

Irish Club in $20,000


crowdfunding SOS

A Goodenough
life for Ken

By LLOYD GORMAN

Mosman Park resident Ken


Walker is looking forward
to receiving letters from the
Queen, Prime Minister and
Premier next January when he
celebrates his 100th birthday.
He was born in Forrest
Street, Subiaco, two years after
Alexander Graham Bell made
his historic first transcontinental phone call to Thomas Watson
in San Francisco in 1915.
Now he has leapt aboard
the technology express and is
learning social media skills at
the Mosman Park Mens Shed
to keep up with his daughters,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Indeed, the night before
his 99th birthday party at the
Mosman Park Golf Club on
Monday he was up until midnight replying to emails and
Facebook entries.
Ken was a shunter in York
for WA railways before he and
six of his mates enlisted in the
RAAF, joining the 14th fighter
squadron at Camden in NSW.
They were shipped to Milne
Bay the day after the Centaur
hospital ship was sunk and arrived there the day Milne Bay
was bombed by the Japanese.
They werent very good: they
missed our boat, he said.
It was the first of two tours
of duty. His second one was to
Goodenough Island, off New
Guinea where he was bombed
again by the Japanese.
When he came home, he found
he had been listed as being on
leave and received holiday pay of
47/17/6, a lot of money back then.
He got a job with the railways,
driving delivery trucks around
Perth, and on Wednesdays

The Irish Club in Subiaco


has turned to crowdfunding
to help keep its doors open.

Ken Walker blows out the candles of a cake made to look like Goodenough Island where he served in World War II.
he drove a bus from Perth
to Kojonup for railway road
service, returning the following day.
He transferred to Northam
when the town started a bus
service to Spencer Brook, and
also drove a school bus every
morning and afternoon.
He rose to the rank of inspector before a decade of farming.
He then worked as a mechanic
before retiring in 1977 to care
for his first wife.
In 1980, he moved to Mosman
Park with his second wife,
Dorothy, whom he first met
when she was 17.

I used to take Dorothy out


when she was 17 and I didnt
see her for 42 years, he said.
My wife had died and
Dorothy was on her own, so we
got married.
He lives at the Dorothy
Genders Village in McCabe
Street and drives his mobility
scooter across to the mens shed
on Tom Perrott Reserve for his
computer lessons.
He celebrated his 99th birthday with family, including five
great grandchildren, before the
Mosman Park RSL-organised
celebration at the Mosman Park
Golf Club.

An SOS stating the club must


be saved, with a $20,000 target,
was launched on the Go Fund
Me website last week.
In the first four days it had
raised $3340 from 26 people,
members and non-members.
The Irish Club of WA was established over 60 years ago and
has been in its current location
in Subiaco since the 70s, the
appeal says.
While the profile and the
membership of the club have
changed in recent years ... there
is still a strong desire to keep
the club and its tradition alive
and to maintain its role as a
place for the Irish community
to come together.
But were struggling to stay
afloat.
Members were told of the
clubs financial position at its
AGM in November.
Since then, says the appeal,
the club has been offered help,
including members and others
volunteering to work in the club,
paint walls, carry out repairs
and redesign the website.
We have also managed to
pay substantial amounts off the
outstanding debt by restructuring the expenses of the club and
reining in expenditure, the
club says on the crowdfunding
website.
But we still need help.
If you are a member or a supporter of the Irish Club, and you
would like to see it continue in
WA now is the time to donate
whatever you can.
This campaign is not for the

benefit of any individual person


or business, but purely for the
benefit of the Irish community
as a whole.
The clubs nearly 1000 membership base includes hundreds
of Eagles and Dockers supporters who drink at the Townshend
Road premises on match days
because of its proximity to
Subiaco Oval.
The club is also the home of
several Irish and other community groups and is set to be
the focal point for important
historical commemorations.
The club has been burdened
by money problems in recent
years.
At the 2012 AGM, members
were told the club was in debt
to the tune of $160,000, largely
because of the performance of
the kitchen.

Chuck that old


TV for free
A free drop-off for old televisions and computers will be
held in Floreat on Saturday
and Sunday next week.
The e-waste drop-off will be
in the carpark at Cambridge
council offices in Bold Park
Drive on February 6 and 7 from
9am to 4pm.
Council staff will take unwanted items, including televisions,
computers, laptops, DVD players, cameras, printers, computer
parts and gaming consoles for
recycling so they do not end up
in landfill dumps.

Thieves steal swimmers clothes


A woman whose
clothes were stolen
while she was swimming
at Mosman beach was
driven to a police station
by two Good Samaritans.
The woman would also
love to have her knitting
needles, Sportscraft handbag and other property
returned.
It was my own fault,
she said, after her car was
broken into while she was
swimming.
But it seems crazy it
happens in broad day-

The owner of this Sportscraft


bag would love to have it
back.

light.
The thieves stole the
handbag with her phone,
wallet and bank cards; a
bag with her clothes; and
a knitting bag.
The Sportscraft bag
was a large tan leather
bag with an over-the-body
strap, the woman said.
The knitting bag had
a couple of needle sets,
three balls of wool, a little travel tape measure,
and Liberty fabric for
fedging.
Two young women were
nearby when the woman
saw what had happened.
They drove me to
Cottesloe police station
straight away so I could
make a report, she said.
The police were excellent and I was really
grateful.
The woman searched
the immediate area after
her report but did not find
any of her property.
The crime happened
on January 12 in the midafternoon.

App tracks stolen phone


A dentists receptionist got her stolen phone
back less than eight
hours after it was taken,
Cottesloe police say.
Senior Sergeant Tony
Booker said a man went to
the Mosman Park dentist
last Friday to make an
appointment.
We will allege the man
stole her iPhone when
the receptionist turned
away to get some papers,
Sergeant Booker said.
After the man left, the
receptionist noticed her
phone was missing.
She called police and
activated the Find My

iPhone app on her computer.


Police went to an
address on Stirling
Highway in Mosman
Park, Sergeant Booker
said. We will allege we
found the phone in a box
in the bottom drawer of a
lounge room table.
By 5pm the phone was
back with the receptionist.
A Mosman Park man
was charged with one
count of stealing and is
due to appear in the Perth
Magistrates Court next
month, 10 days after his
dental appointment.

Neighbours to the rescue


A thief ditched a
wheelie bin containing computers and
alcohol he had stolen
from Scotch College on
Monday morning, after
being confronted by
local residents.
He entered the
Swanbourne school
from Stirling Road about
10.30 and broke into the
canteen.
He put two Apple Macs,

Wheelie bad A burglar


left this wheelie bin at the
scene of his crime.

a Lenovo computer, and


alcohol into the green
wheelie bin.
Two residents challenged him as he pulled
the bin north along
Stirling Road.
The man abandoned
the bin and was last
seen walking towards
Claremont Quarter.
The man wore white
clothes, a grey hat, was
in his late 30s, and had
stubble on his face.

Shopper challenged
A Subiaco shop worker
challenged a woman she
suspected was trying
to commit a fraud on
Monday.

BEAT
with DAVID COHEN

The woman and a


man had walked into
Officeworks, on Hay Street,
soon after 9am.
Workers kept an eye on
them as they suspected the
couple had stolen from
the shop.

Thief did not


play ball
Shenton Park residents
told police $1600 was
stolen from their gopher
last week.

The woman went to


the till and tried to use
PayPass, but could not
because the amount owing
was over $100.
The shop worker asked
her to hand over the bank
card. She did, but left the
shop when the worker said
police would be called.
An alarm went off as the
woman left the store.

Thieves fussy about their beer

Crooks got into an Evans


Street garage and stole
a bag from inside the
gopher.
Also in the bag were
bank cards, and a honeycoloured purse.
One of the residents told
police she had let a stranger on to her property last
Thursday, after the man
said he wanted to fetch a
ball that had come over
the fence from the rear
neighbouring property.

Thirsty thieves stole alcohol from Subiaco Oval last


week but then left some
of it outside the ground.
A hydraulic arm at gate
22 was damaged when the
crooks forced it open between 7pm on Friday and
11am the next day.

Oval workers found two


stubbies of Great Northern
Brewing Company beer
and other bottles from a
bar fridge had been stolen.
But the two stubbies
were found on the ground
outside the oval soon afterwards.

Watch stolen from unlocked car


An engraved watch was
stolen from a car outside
a Nedlands home last

A Rottnest Channel
Swim participant made
it easy for thieves when
he left a side door unlocked at his Mosman
Park home.
The thieves entered
the Somerset Crescent
home on the morning of
Saturday, January 16, went
into the garage, and saw
an unlocked 2010 Subaru
Outback with the keys on
the console.
They used a remote
control to open the roller
door and drove away in the
car, which had RCS plates.
The owner realised
something was wrong
when he felt air movement
from the open garage door.
He had also left his wallet in the car.

Something old,
something new
something
stolen
A bridesmaids dress
was stolen from a car
above Cottesloe beach
between Sunday night
and Monday morning.
The woman had parked
in Marine Parade and left
the dress in plain view on
the back seat.
Crooks smashed a rear
window and took the dress,
as well as coins from the
centre console.
After discovering the
crime at 8am, the woman
found her dress dumped
farther along the road.

Cottesloe honours
tireless advocate
Former Cottesloe councillor
John Francis Walsh, better
know as Jack, was named
Cottesloes Citizen of the Year.
Jack was a councillor for 17

said the award recognised his
contribution and length of service to Cottesloe council.
He was elected to North ward
in October 1998 and served continuously until he retired at the
last election.
He was deputy mayor for six
years.
Jack was involved in all areas

of council but his foremost interest was planning and development, Ms Dawkins said.
He developed a great understanding of planning issues.
He also served on other committees, including strategic
planning, WESROC, TAPSS
(now Shine), Curtin Aged
Persons Homes, the WA Local

develop an understanding of
indigenous identity, history and
reconciliation.
He is studying medicine at
UWA, majoring in physiology
and Aboriginal health and wellbeing.
Westcoast Community Centre
chair Christine Palmer, treasurer
Jeni Owens, and program coordinator Jean Harvey accepted
the Community Group Award.
The 460-member group was
established in 1993 at Wearne
Hostel by Carol Conlon. It is
now based at the Grove library.
Essentially it creates a congenial meeting place for members of the local community,
particularly from the suburbs
of Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove
and Mosman Park, to increase
their knowledge and skills

through a variety of courses,


lectures and visits to places of
local and regional interest, Ms
Dawkins said.
The centre is run by volunteers.
What Westcoast Community
Centre does very skilfully is to
demonstrate the true value of a
community centre, Ms Dawkins
said.
Besides the wide range of
interesting subjects, informative sessions and outings, it also
provides a social networking
opportunity not always readily
available.
The Community Event Award
went to the 2015 Melanoma
Lions Institute Community Skin
Screening Week.
The award was accepted by
Clinton Heal, the founder of
Melanoma WA and Sue and
Colin Beauchamp from the Lions
Cancer Institute.
Ms Dawkins made special
mention of Tracey Mullin, the
project officer for Melanoma
WA, who organised the event
in November last year.
A unit was set up on Cottesloe
beach and offered free skin
screenings, in association with
the national Skin Cancer Action
Week.
Ms Dawkins said 443 people
were screened with 70 of them
referred to specialists.

Australia Day 2016

Scouts leader an exceptional role model


Peppermint Groves citizen
of the year Ian Andrews was
nominated by the parents of
the Mosman Bay Sea Scouts.
He has been selfless in his
dedication to the children of
this sea scouts group, shire
president Rachel Thomas said.
As both scout leader and
district leader, he has devoted
energy, passion and time to
keeping the group operational.
f Without his efforts, the scout
group would not be operating
so successfully today.
She said Mr Andrews had
run the group for more than
10 years and was now solely
responsible for its management
and fundraising.
Over the years, Ian has given
freely of his own time to run all
ffacets of the sea scouts activities as well as maintenance of
the vessels and equipment, Ms
Thomas said.
He is dedicated to facilitating
Tuesday night scout sessions
and providing scouts with the
opportunity to sail on Saturday
afternoons.
He has been an exceptional
role model for the children
fduring his many years of contribution to the local and wider
community.
Mr Andrews said he had become involved because his son
was a scout.
The leader who was running it needed help so when
he left I was on my own, Mr
Andrews said.
Mr Andrews said he got a lot of
help from parents and, though it
was hard work, it was a privilege
to be the group leader.
He said the Mosman Bay sea
scouts would participate in a
Perth-wide inter-scout sailing

Ian Andrews

Basil and Jenny Twine

race in March and he expected


about 150 scouts to take part.
The community group of the
year award was presented to
Basil and Jenny Twine and the
Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht
Club archive committee.
Since the formation of the
archive team at the club in 1983,
hundreds of documents and images dating back to 1896 have
been meticulously collected and

Simone Fleay

stored to preserve the history


of the club and to document
the origins of the suburb of
Peppermint Grove.
Recently the Grove library
partnered with the archive
team to digitise this impressive
collection and make it available
to the public through the Grove
librarys historic image gallery,
Ms Thomas said.
Both the library and the

archive team received recognition and an award from the


Australian Maritime Museum for
their contribution to Australian
maritime history.
Without the tireless dedication of Basil and Jenny and the
archive team, these invaluable
historic documents would have
been lost forever.
The event of the year was
Carols By Candlelight
The award was accepted by the
committee chair Simone Fleay.
Ms Thomas said Carols By
Candlelight had been held in
Manners Hill Park for 30 years.
She said it was an evening
where families came together
with their picnic rugs and their
best singing voices in the leadup to Christmas.
Ms Fleay said she had organised the event for the past seven

years and she thought the award


was presented to her this year
because the event in December
was its 30th anniversary.
Ms Fleay said that since
her husband, Scott, had been
elected to Peppermint Grove
council almost 10 years ago,
she had done everything [the
community] had to offer.
Ms Thomas said: Thanks to
the commitment of the Salvation
Army band and the Mighty
Camelot Choir, and to the delight
of local residents, the sound of
Christmas can be heard filling
the air of Peppermint Grove,
sending good tidings far beyond
its boundaries.
She said donations of cash, toys
and non-perishable food were
given to the Salvation Armys
Balga Early Learning Centre to
support needy families.

From cow paddock to focal point


The history of Manners Hill
Park in Peppermint Grove was
celebrated at the combined
Australia Day ceremony on
Tuesday.

Standing firm Premier Colin Barnett unveils the interpretive plaque.

Shire president Rachel


Thomas said the park and pavilion were created on land that
was originally used by Edward
Keane as a cow paddock.
Keane was an engineer, politician and early landowner who
migrated to WA in 1882.
He built his home, Cappoquin,
at Keanes Point, which now
houses the Royal Freshwater
Bay Yacht Club.
The government bought the
paddock for a park in 1899 and

the pavilion, designed by Sir


Joseph John Talbott Hobbs was
erected in 1903, by which time
the park was home to a six-hole
golf course.
The park and pavilion were
named in 1904 after J. Manners
Hill, who was chairman of the
Peppermint Grove Road Board
for 25 years.
The pavilion itself is rather
special in that it is one of only a
few remaining public pavilions
located in an open reserve, Ms
Thomas said.
It is also quite rare in design
and has retained much of its
original character.
The reserve and pavilion

were created for public enjoyment and have been used as a


place for social gathering and
celebrations for over a century.
The park and pavilion continue to prove a focal point for
the community.
This interpretive plaque
and the recent renovation work
carried out by the Shire of
Peppermint Grove on the pavilion will ensure that this public
facility can still be enjoyed by
all well into the future.
Premier Colin Barnett unveiled the plaque in front of
a crowd of about 500 people
gathered for the ceremony and
free barbecue.

THE FUTURE IS HERE!

Are live-in nannies aware


of their rights?

Vale Martyn
Webb
Thank you for the tribute to
Professor Martyn Webb.
Like his great friend, the
late Professor Patrick OBrien,
Martyn was one of those publicspirited stirrers we need.
He was active in many causes,
but always sensible and worthwhile ones.
His warm and unselsh nature
brought him a wide circle of
admiring friends, some of whom
met regularly at his house to
discuss and strategise on the
issues of the day, or to examine
great historical themes.
He was a great educator,
not only in his own academic
disciplines, but in civic affairs
generally, with an amazing
range of expertise.
At the time of the Turnbully
model of a republic, with a head
of state appointed by politicians, he was a leader of the
campaign against it, seeing it
as undemocratic and a threat
to the federal system.
He cared deeply for Western
Australia, and in particular
for his beloved Dalkeith and
Nedlands, for whose good governance he was a bonnie ghter.
He will be greatly missed, and
I hope he may be commemorated by an annual lecture or
a festschrift (a book of articles
in his honour).

Redtail parents feed their ospring.

Mother bird shows tough love:


give it a try, UWA!
Underwood Bushland is home
to brown goshawks and a pair
breed there every year.
Last year the parents produced one chick, which is
now possibly only a couple
of months old. Also the forest
red-tailed black cockatoo pairs
have produced young who are
about the same age as the young
goshawk.
Goshawks live in the bush
over summer, and red-tails visit
the bush every morning. The
young of both species have a
lot to learn.
On one occasion I saw a young
red-tail hanging up-side-down
by one foot, with his mother
looking on with concern.
He just had to learn to open
his toes to release his grip,
which he eventually managed
to do.
Last week a ock of red tails
were in the bush in the early
morning, preening feathers,
bonding, showing off, investigating tree hollows and enjoying life.
Suddenly they took off togeth-

er in alarm and presumably the


goshawk had frightened them.
The ock ew off in a circle to
the north side of the bushland.
However three of the ock had
not taken off.
The three were a family group
and then I saw the female start
to bite the branchlet on which
the juvenile was perched.
The juvenile jumped to another branchlet. The female bit
that branchlet off, the juvenile
fell and then ew and they
were off.
The female was using her
tricks to make the juvenile y.
How intelligent is that.
Of course we need this bushland protected.
However, the University of
WA needs some encouragement to withdraw the housing
proposal and to follow another
path.
The then Premier Richard
Court saved Shenton Bushland
but that was state government
land. Ideas are welcome.
Margaret Owen
Daglish Street, Wembley

The personal is political, they


say, and vice versa.
My mother was born in NSW
in the 1920s, given up for adoption when her mother was
abandoned, and lived in various
foster homes and orphanages
until she was adopted by a
wealthy Sydney family with a
harbour-side mansion.
She was an intelligent girl but
was denied an education and
was forced to stay home, cook,
clean, serve sandwiches on card
nights, tea from silver, and the
like. and provide services of a
more personal nature to the
adoptive father.
Such was the reality of life in
service in that era.
The Australia of my youth
was a vast improvement on
the depression era of both my
parents I had the advantage
of excellent public education
and a university scholarship.
I have now discovered that it
seems to be a common practice
for well-off families to have livein nannies for their children, on
what can only be described as
pocket money wages.
Paying a live in-nanny in
Australia on the same basis as

an au pair is illegal and wrong!


Au pair comes from the
French term meaning at
par or equal to, originating
in Europe for the purpose of
cultural exchange, becoming
part of the family, and learning a foreign language, for six
months maximum.
This is strictly regulated in
Europe, and the family is often
required to pay for language
lessons, as well as providing
a specic amount of spending
money.
In Australia, there is a statutory award rate for nannies,
and a requirement to live in
cannot be counted as in kind
payment.
Has someone turned back
time? Are we now in the 1930s?
Should domestic servants have
no more rights now than they
did 100 years ago?
Anyone employed as a nanny
should contact the Fair Work
Commission to learn their
rights, and to claim for full
back pay if the conditions of
employment are unlawful.

Get out the dusters in Cottesloe


Thanks to Ron Winterton
for identifying the dust which
we have noticed settling in
Cottesloe for some time, (Iron
ore dust blows over us, POST,
January 23).
Obviously he is correct in saying that it has been spreading
over other coastal suburbs.
If Fremantle Ports is unaware of the problem, it doesnt
say much for their monitoring
system.

This is something which must


be followed up and I will certainly raise the matter with the
Cottesloe council.

Even pesky
possums need a
home
I read, with some surprise,
in How high will new Shents
go? (POST, January 23) that
community liaison officer
Claire Patterson said a report
sent to the Environmental
Protection Authority had shown,
apart from birds, there was no
fauna on the site.
What? No possums?
Difficult to believe, given
the possum population in and
around Shenton Park.
I know they can be a bit of a
pest, but I do think they should
be left with some habitat and
not completely overlooked in
this process.

Pleasant walk turns into nightmare


I live in a lovely, well maintained, tree-lined street in
Subiaco.
Several times a week I walk
up to the main part of Subiaco,
either alone or with two small
children, a pre-schooler and a
toddler, and it has become quite
difficult.
It is very pleasant walking
along Juniper Bank Way until
you get to the junction of Centro
Avenue.
The Carter Lane Precinct is
currently being developed and
on the south-west corner there
is no footpath.
Consequently you have to
cross via Harborne Street,
which is an extremely busy road,
and you also have the danger
of cars both turning left and
coming around the roundabout
and then, when you get across,

you have to cross Roydhouse


Street where cars turn left from
Harborne Street, other cars
come in from the roundabout,
turning into Roydhouse Street,
to Bunnings, again no footpath
on the north side.
Proceeding further up Hood
Street, when you get to Station
Street, you have to cross the
road just past the roundabout
on the north side, as there is no
footpath on the south side, again
extremely busy, but you also
have the danger of cars coming
in and out of the Woolworths
underground carpark and going
around the roundabout to get to
and from Salvado Road.
Why not just move the construction site fences back a
short distance and complete the
footpaths that have already been
half completed on the Carter

Lane project and the old Station


Street Market site?
This would be a simple project
and would possibly prevent a
bad accident with pedestrians, as, at the moment, it is a
nightmare.
And why have they taken the
seating away from the front of
Woolworths?
Peta Cuthbertson
Coral Tree Avenue, Subiaco

Wrong number!
Last week, a reader asked
if anybody remembered Mr
Alex, a naturopath practising
in Subiaco in the 1980s.
Sorry, we published the wrong
phone number for people to ring
with information about him.
Please call Jodie Greenhouse
on 0450 618 856.

Why did Claremont council not


mail a flyer to every household
about the Lake Claremont Plan,
as the proposed plans could cost
ratepayers between $100,000
and $250,000?
The plan shows a new path
in front of the houses on the offlead dog exercise area leading
from Davies Road.
Council members have given
different responses to my enquiries, saying that the new
path is open for comment, and
conversely that it has actually
been deleted and that the
engineers failed to remove it
from the plan.
How can ratepayers comment
when the plan is not fully upto-date?
It is totally unnecessary to
disturb the environment at a
cost of $30,000, as dogs and their
owners roam openly and freely
in this dog exercise area.
I think the current large offlead dog exercise area is suffi-

cient without adding the extra


dotted red line area.
What guarantee is there that
dogs off-lead will stick to the
dotted red line area without
constant surveillance by a
ranger, or does it mean that at
some time in the future, another
fence will be proposed?
Have the elders and custodians been consulted about the
proposed dog fence around
the lake?
It would definitely hinder
the movement of wildlife to the
parklands and bush beyond.
I do not think that elected
council members should be out
canvassing door-to-door with flyers to try to support their views
on this plan.
This is not within their scope
as councillors, and it is their
duty to be undecided until all
ratepayers views have been
openly discussed in a council
meeting.

Subi has more empty shops


I read that Subiaco CEO Don
Burnett took some council staff
to Claremont Quarter on a factfinding excursion (Subi shops
at Quarter for ideas, POST,
January 16).
Part of his quote was: Ive
got to say it, we dont have that
many vacant shops in Subiaco.

I think there are probably four


or five.
There are 17 empty shops in
Rokeby Road. This does not
include the empty shops in the
central areas side streets.

Is there time to save bush


Well done and many thanks for
your efforts and Margaret Owens
lovely nature photographs in an
effort to save the bush at the
Shenton Park hospital site.
How sad it is that the Minister
and the government are so short-

sighted and nave in paying


scant attention to saving this
land for the bird life and future
generations.
Is it too late?

Enjoying the fruits of dance
As well as being an art
form, a mental challenge
and great exercise, dance
offers many other benefits.
Spatial coordination,
flexibility, agility, motor
fitness and balance are
some other physical
attributes dance can greatly
improve.
John Taylor, from Mt
Claremonts John and
Bernadette Taylor Ballet
School, said good posture
was a major benefit.
It is the best form of
exercise for posture, John
said.
He said self-discipline
and routine were two
attitudinal bonuses derived
from dancing.
You do not have to
become a professional
dancer to enjoy the fruits
of ballet, John said.
John said he and
Bernadette were proud of
the family atmosphere they
had forged at the school.
At Helene Gowers Ballet
Schools, dance starts with
a fun program for tiny tots
aged three to five.

Dance Central

Posture and balance are


enhanced through dance.

For extra physical


exercise, Helene includes
skipping, marching,
running and hand and feet
exercises.
Students then move up
to pre-primary course for
six to eight-year-olds.
For older students
there are recreational
classes as well as classes
for those who want to
test themselves by taking
exams.

Talent that flowers late in life


Who said only kids can

be future stars?
American folk artist
Anna Moses, also known
as Grandma Moses, began
painting when she was
in her late 70s and ended
up selling paintings for
millions of dollars.
She took up painting
when her arthritis made
embroidery too painful.
Claude Monet and
Vincent Van Gogh were
by no means childprodigies both started
painting in earnest about
halfway through their
respective lives.
Science suggests there
is no age-limit to getting
worth out of creative
expression.
US professor Barbara
Bagan has written
extensively about how
expressive art alleviates
depression and anxiety.
Dr Bagan said: While
brains inevitably age,
creative abilities do not
necessarily deteriorate.
Nedlands councils

Creativity has proven benefits for the young and young


at heart.

Tresillian Arts Centre offers


a range of arts, classes from
painting and pottery to
ceramics and sewing.
The centre offers
creative school holiday
programs for kids, too.
Jan Cross from
Extraordinary Mind runs
drawing classes that she
says help unlock inherent
creative potential.
Jan said her workshop
was about breaking
through learnt creative
habits.
Inexperienced drawers
were perhaps advantaged,
because their creative

habits were less deeply


ingrained, she said.
It is all about getting
out of exercises that we
are used to, Jan said.
Leonie Doborwolskis
Fine Art classes are more
traditional.
A former lecturer at
Claremont Art School,
Leonie focuses on
sketching, oil painting and
water-colours and says the
mental exercise of fine art
creation is healthy.
When you are painting
and doing art you are
making decisions all the
time, she said.

A dramatic way to
expand young minds
People are always seek-

The fun of acting carries with it some very important life


lessons.

ing ways to expand minds


in new ways.
We are continually learning more about the mind,
even if some of the findings
are dressed up to be more
ground-breaking than the
science would suggest.
But there is overwhelming evidence that
engaging in drama, dance
and visual art in all their
forms improves cognition.
While adults can also
benefit from creative
engagement, young minds
are the most receptive.
Engaging in drama does
not just lead to a career on
the stage.
Matthew Edgerton, from
Subi-based theatre school
Barking Gecko, gave an
interesting example of an
ex-student, Oscar.
Oscar had been at
Barking Gecko for six
years and was at an unrelated, public rally with
some friends.
There was a vacancy at
the speakers microphone

and one of Oscars friends


suggested he should stand
at the mic and make a
speech. So he did.
Matthew was told
Oscars speech to a crowd
of hundreds was fluent,
eloquent, intelligent and,
impressively, improvised.
Matthew said this ability to grab life was an
important skill he tried to
instil in his students.
RECK Theatre Company
has moved from the country to the Subiaco Arts
Centre and founder Jane
Lee said theatre performance and study helped

Jane has extensive
background in acting and
directing and recently

She said that though they
might not realise it, her students were learning things
they would later tackle in
high school.

Getting set for happy school days


Students from two Perth

to make sure more children in
care have a happy start to school.
The students from Mercedes
and Santa Maria colleges donated
their time and money to make
up back-to-school packs for children in the care of not-for-profit
organisation MercyCare.
They collected donations, which

were used to buy essential school


items like drink bottles, lunch
boxes and school bags.
Retailer Officeworks also lent
a helping hand by donating stationery and pencil cases valued
at almost $300.
MercyCares school liaison officer Louise Mason said: When
I was student, I remember the
excitement of getting my new
stationery supplies before the

We just really want kids in

Thats one big


flower stem!
After three months away on holidays in
Asia, the Chungs returned to their Subiaco
home to find a bit of magic had happened.
One of the agave plants that has been slowly
growing at the back of their garden for the 32
years they have lived there, had sprouted an
enormous flower stalk that was 7m tall and as
thick at the base as a power pole.
It started off looking like asparagus, and
then it flowered, Anne Chung said.
She said she and her husband, T. C., had
searched on the internet and discovered that
after the mother plant flowered, it died.
The more I read the more confusing it
was, so I dont know which type of agave it
is, Anne said.
The towering flower is a magnet for parrots
and lorikeets and is attracting hundreds and
hundreds of bees.
They are our FIFO workers, said T. C.
They fly in and they fly out.
Anne, who is a passionate gardener and loves
to propagate all sorts of plants, said she had
another species of agave that had flowered
after about 10 years.
That one has a flower that looks like an elephant trunk and lasts for six months, she said.

LEFT: The best place to view the flower stalk of


the agave plant that looms above Anne and T. C.
Chung is from the back lane of their Subiaco home.
RIGHT: The birds and the bees are flocking to feast
on the flowers.

Last cast before a new term


This weekend is your final
chance to go fishing with the kids
before they head back to school.
Beach anglers have been catching some nice tailor in POST
country, with some impressive
fish to nearly a kilo being landed.
Swanbourne has been the hottest spot for the bigger tailor,
mainly in the afternoons, though
a few reasonable fish have also
been caught at first light.
Decent-sized herring and skippy
have also been caught along this
stretch of beach, along with some
very nice whiting.
Farther north, along the Hillarys
to Quinns stretch, big tailor have
been landed (I have seen a couple
of photos of tailor that would have
to be nudging 2kg), but those in
the know are tight-lipped about
the exact location.
If you fish hard enough in the

right area you just might tangle
with one of these giants.
The river has also been fishing
well, with flathead and the odd
flounder being caught on lures
and baits in the lower reaches,
mainly around the Swan yacht
club, East Fremantle and Stirling
bridge areas.
Boaties have been enjoying
some great bottom fishing out in
the deeper water around 40 to
60m, but you dont have to go that
deep because there are plenty of
dhuies, snapper and breaksea
cod being caught in the 20 to
30m range.
Many diehard anglers travel
over fertile ground just to get
where they assume the fish are
bigger and more numerous.

When school goes back it is


toddler time at Scitech.
From February 6 to 21,
Scitech in West Perth will host
Toddlerfest, an exciting event
for children up to five and their
parents.
They will be able to watch an
exclusive Planetarium show for
toddlers that takes them into
outer space.
They will also be able to
pretend they are flying a rocket
in the astronaut exhibition,
explore objects under UV light
in the glow room and play with
some cuddly farm animals.
Scitech CEO Alan Brien said:
From following the movement
of a ball to solving a puzzle, the
activities on offer at Toddlerfest
are proven to enhance learning
and encourage young developing minds.
Parents can also continue
learning at home by accessing information from the
ScienceNetwork WA website,
with subjects ranging from vaccines to toddlers using digital
devices.
Workshop and show programs
will vary daily, and Scitechs
skilled presenters will be working closely with parents to help
children get the most out of the
event.
Entry for adults is $19, children $12 and there is no charge
for children under four.

Toddlerfest, visit scitech.org.au

Spot the top hat


in the Happy Tree
There will be a new carving for children to spot when
families turn out to celebrate
the Happy Tree party in City
Beach next Friday.
The Happy Tree is the creation of the late Ralph Soderlund,
who used to live at 9 Hovea
Crescent.
He wrote stories that his wife,
Phyllis, illustrated and then
Ralph would carve the characters from the stories into the
tree outside their home.
Ralphs daughter, Leigh
Marian, said her fathers inspiration for the Happy Tree
was Ola Cohns Fairies Tree in
Melbournes Fitzroy Gardens.
Leigh remembers the tradition
that her father started about 30
years ago.
Every year Dad would add a
character to the tree, she said.
She said that when her father
started hosting parties at the
Happy Tree, he would always
don a top hat to read stories to
the children who came.
Dad had rescued that hat at
a church clear-out, Leigh said.
In memory of her father, Leigh
asked wood carver Richard
Higgins to carve a top hat and,
last year, the family gathered
together to place it in the Happy
Tree.
Richard carved a little model
of the hat before he made the
nearly full-sized replica, Leigh
said.
We loved it so much we had
him make one for each of my
three sisters to have.

Cambridge council will host


this years annual Happy Tree
party from 4.15 to 5.30pm on
Friday, February 5, and everyone is invited.
Master storyteller Glenn Swift
will don a jesters hat to tell
interactive stories about characters in the tree. They are aimed
at children aged three to 10.
Just head along with a plate
of nut-free food to share.

Ron Marian positions the newly carved replica top hat in the Happy Tree

Pancakes to dream on

How to get a good nights sleep
Nurse Tessa Jupp from the
Polio Clinic is noticing that
more people are having sleep
problems and says taking tablets is not the answer.
Tessa will present a talk, All
About Sleep, at the meeting of
health group OSWA, at 2pm on
Saturday, February 6.
She says a good nights sleep
is very important for all ages,
from newborns to 100-year-olds.
Last year, Diabetes Care published a recent study of 64,000
nurses showing that working
shifts could predispose people
to health issues like diabetes
and cancer as well as obesity.
Some people are naturally

early risers and others are


night-owls.
Tessa says that having a job
with work hours that go against
an individuals natural sleep
times can cause major health
problems later in life.
Tessa will also be talking
about easy ways to get to sleep
and stay asleep.
The meeting will be at the
Anglican Church hall next to
Coles in Barker Road, Subiaco.
The entry donation is $7 and
includes a healthy afternoon tea.
All are welcome and no booking is needed.
For more information, call
Tessa at Post Polio on 9383 9050.

However, there was
a downside. The club
elders sat deep in
the new club lounge
chairs and, in spite of
their port and cigars,
exuded an air of melancholy.
It had come to their
attention that some
5th division players
had gained access
to the mens triples
nals. Brows were furrowed and tuts were
tutted. This mixing of
the elite with lower
riff raff would not
be tolerated sighed
one of the elders to
a muted hear hear
and a gentle patting
of the arm rests.
Another noted that
we could end up with
democracy and even
women voting if this
sort of thing continued, so it was agreed
that words would be
spoken in appropriate
places.
Happy 90th to Ken

end swung the pendulum Hollywoods
way and even a 2 to

end wasnt enough to
stop Hollywood taking
the points.
It was a do or die

Doing
his thing

SARAH McNEILL

On the phone from New


York, Geoff Sobelle says he
in the middle of packing and
loading his show, The Object
Lesson.
Its no mean feat, packing
up an installation show that
consists of hundreds of boxes
stacked to the ceiling, filled
with stuff detritus, collectibles, loved and discarded

items, photos, red things and


dead things.
But he will not be able to
bring it all to Australia most
of it wouldnt pass customs.
Instead, when he brings his
meditative one-man show to
the Perth International Arts
Festival, his boxes will be
filled with donated items.
Itll be your stuff youll be
exploring, he said.
The show, Geoff explained,

was inspired by the notion


that one mans trash is anothers treasure or as he puts it,
your stuff is other peoples
shit.
He wanted to explore peoples weird faculty for identifying with things.
He started in 2013 with stuff
from his own home clothes,
furniture, bank statements,
photos, a massive, meaningful, meaningless pile of junk

that was a weird self-portrait.


Audiences were invited to
poke through the stuff, open
boxes and explore personal
items.
It really unsticks you when
someone picks up something
of yours and then just throws
it down carelessly, he admitted. But then, he said, there
were people who found something that they treasured and
for the rest of the show, car-

ried it around like a puppy.


What pushes an object
from just being a thing, to
something you cant let go of?
he wonders.
For a long time, before he
starts unpacking, discarding,
shedding and sharing his stories, Geoff just watches the
audience and they become the
unwitting performers on his
stage of life.

From page 61

Geoff describes himself


as an artist, inventor and
magician but not an
actor.
He learnt inventions
from his grandfather, who
could make anything out
of anything, just for some
stupid effect, and he
taught himself magic.
I never really loved
plays, but I wanted to
be on stage, he said. I
wanted to work collaboratively with set designers,
lighting, performers, but I
didnt know what that was
called.
That was until he went to
the Jacques Lecoq School
in Paris, and discovered
like-minded people and
learnt physical theatre,
absurdism, improvisation,
illusion and clowning.
Geoff says that crammed
in among piles of boxes
of endless stuff that audiences have poked through,
peered into, adored or
ignored, Ive got this
thing, you know, a memento from that time. Let me
just see if I can find it ...

Short and funny for


Opera in the Park
When Brad Cohen took
over as artistic director at
the WA Opera last year he
decided he wanted to do
something different for the
annual Opera in the Park
event.
He has chosen Gianni
Schicchi, Puccinis last
completed opera (Turandot
was incomplete when he
died).
Brad said the short oneact, opera usually presented
with other works, stands
perfectly on its own as a
sublime comedy.
Its a little over an hour
in length, which I think will
make the evening even more
attractive to families and
older attendees, he said.

performed next Saturday,
is directed by former
Festival of Perth director
Lindy Hume and features
plenty of familiar opera
voices, including Katja

The opera is full of
greed, bribery and
subterfuge, after relatives

They turn to Gianni

Langley Park next Saturday.

Its a clich, but


its so true that
an audience
brings so much
to each show

Will Rock You, Shout and


Jersey Boys.
At 40, Michael is still
that obsessed teenager at
heart and he has left musical theatre to perform his
own cabaret shows where
nostalgia rules.
He won the Best Cabaret
award at the 2014 Adelaide
Fringe and Best Cabaret
Weekly Award 2015 and
returns to Fringe World
with two of his popular
cabaret shows, Adolescent
and Sweet Dreams: Songs
by Annie Lennox.
Adolescent is a nostalgic
trip back to the 80s.
Its a clich, but its

so true that an audience


brings so much to each
show, and in Adolescent
there are plenty of opportunities to sing along with
all those great 80s classics,
Michael said.
He chose Annie Lennox
because he said, she stood
out for her lyrics.
Every song is personal,
about loss, betrayal, heartbreak and depression, he
said. She was not about
disposable good times,
but I dont think she ever
realised quite how subversive she was.
His shows are simple,
just him and his piano, full
of charm, good humour,
nostalgia and great music.
Michel Griffiths will
perform in the De Parel
Spiegeltent in the Perth
Cultural Centre.
Sweet Dreams is at 6pm
on January 27 and 28
and Adolescent is on from
January 29 to February 2.

Ask
Ellie

Ive been
seeing this
wonderful guy
and weve been
on five dates so
far. We texted every day
and he phoned a lot.
However, he now
doesnt always text back
as much, and barely calls
me. We last saw each
other around December.
Hed bought me
Christmas presents, and a
lovely card that expressed
how much I mean to him.
But since then, hes
been distant from me.
He even mentions how I
dont phone him enough.
I also noticed on
Facebook that he was
out on a Friday night
with another girl, who
posted the picture of her
food order, but tagged
him in the photo.
I could be overreacting
to this, but I dont
think its right for a
guy to hang out with a
girl while hes seeing
someone else.
Ive been texting him
and I did try ringing,
but he claims he never
got my calls.
Im worried because
he means a great deal
to me and I want those
wonderful words he
put in his card to mean
something.
Is he pulling away?

Unless youre
living far apart
from each other,
this has been a
limited relationship no
matter how much you
text.
Hes keeping up less
contact and doesnt
see your connection as
exclusive, after only
five dates.
Hes free to be out
with other women,
since theres nothing
that suggests you two
had an understanding
for the future.
However, his
Christmas card did give
a different impression.
Mixed messages arent
fair, though perhaps
hes met someone else
since.
Ring him, and ask if
you can meet briefly
for coffee not a drink,
youre not asking for a
date.
If he agrees, fine.
But even if he doesnt
agree, seize the moment
to mention the card
and ask the question
that matters: Is he
interested in getting
together more often, or
not?
Its better to know
where you stand, than
to keep texting and
calling into a void.

Embracing the
unknown at the Quarry
SARAH McNEILL

Craig Davidson is
learning the art of being in
the moment.
It means that questions
about the new dance
piece he is creating for
WA Ballets season at the
Quarry really have no
answer.
Im still in the process
of finding out what this
ballet will be, he said. Im
embracing elements of the
unknown.
What he has decided
on, mid-way through
rehearsals, is a title:
Ambiguous Content. The
title itself is ambiguous
Craig pronounces content
both ways, as in satisfied
or as in cargo. It doesnt
matter which way you
want to take it, he says.
The world premiere of
his new work is the first
WA Ballet commission
for the Australian-born,
Germany-based ballet
dancer.
And its been a while
since hes even spent
time in Australia. Craig
was 15 when he left his

mothers ballet school in


Wodonga, Victoria, to take
up an offer from the New
Zealand School of Ballet.
From there Europe
beckoned, and Craig
has had an impressive
international career over
the past 13 years, dancing
and choreographing with
companies including
Finnish National Ballet,
Royal Ballet Flanders,
and American Ballet
Theatre. He is now with
Semperoper Ballet in
Dresden.
He has worked with
acclaimed choreographers,
including William
Forsythe, Jiri Kylian,
Mats Ek and British
choreographer David
Dawson who is also
creating a piece for the
Quarry season.
Craig cites both
Dawson and Forsythe
as his inspirations in his
choreography.
I like to work with the
classical form and push it
to its limits, he said. Call
it classical with a twist.
Craigs mother, still

his sister, now a ballet


teacher, have both flown to
Perth for the premiere of
Ambiguous Content.
It is one of five works
in the companys PIAF
summer season, collectively
titled Five by Night.
David Dawson will
present two works, a
pas de deux set to music
by modern master Max
Richter called On the
Nature of Daylight and
an intricate work for five
dancers, called 5.
In Black is created by
WA Ballet soloist Andre
Santos, and is a reflection
of a dancers training
while To the Pointe is

collaboration between
WAB dancers Meg

Discontent in the pleasure garden


Fringe World is under
way in more than 150
venues around Perth, with
hundreds of independent
artists taking creative risks,
developing new works,
challenging, provoking and
entertaining.
But not everyone is
smiling in the Fringes
garden of pleasure.
Late last year, performer
and 2015 Fringe winner
Tiffany Barton lodged a

petition on change.org.
She said the festival had
taken more than $6million
at the box office, but its
$300 registration fee and
32% cut of box office
takings had left most Fringe
players out of pocket.
Tiffany said that last
year, even with a sell-out
extended season and prize
money, her shows profit
amounted to $400 each
for her, her director, set
designer, sound designer,
vocalist and publicist.
Thats roughly $2 an

work, Tiffany said. And


thats a success story.
I love the Fringe but I
was completely broke at
the end of it.
In Edinburgh there are
producers who come and
see shows to pick up, but
here theres nothing, and
nowhere else to go.
She asked for the Fringe
to consider reducing the
registration fee to its
original $150 or to do a
sliding scale of fees like
the Sydney Fringe, which
sets the fee according to
potential audience size,

ranging from $100 to $400.


Tiffany suggested
partners and sponsors
might like to pay full price
for tickets instead of asking
for freebies, and she asked
for more financial help or
in-kind support from the
City of Perth.
She emphasised what all
local artists repeatedly call
for more state government
funding for the arts.
Fringe World director
Amber Hasler issued
a formal statement in
response to Tiffanys
petition, saying that the

Fringe did an extensive


post-festival survey.
The 2015 survey had
shown that 95.4% of
artists surveyed would
recommend participating
in Fringe World to other

The spotlight is on investigative journalism


Its a tense newsroom
procedural that will surely
be one of the years best
films.
The story at its centre,
about which The Globe
ran some 600 stories, isnt
the only thing that will
fire up audiences. Its as
much about investigative
journalism a profession
that sometimes feels like
its disappearing in the
fast-paced digital world but
here makes an irrefutable
case for its own relevance
and imperative.
Led by editor Walter
Robby Robinson
(Michael Keaton) and
including reporters
Michael Rezendes (Mark
Ruffalo), Sacha Pfeiffer
(Rachel McAdams) and
Matt Carroll (Brian
dArcy James), the
team systematically and
intrepidly scratched away to
unearth the cancer riddling

Both were damning,
blood-boiling indictments

sexual abuse of children by
Catholic priests but also
of the church hierarchys

protection of its own
ranks.
Spotlight, Tom
McCarthys (The Station

and steadily compelling
drama, is about the
reporting team at The
Boston Globe that blew the

of mythologising or

just one scene featuring

Instead Spotlight plays

out with workaday realism:


chasing down reticent
lawyers (Stanley Tucci

relies on the content to

What the critics are saying
Room (M)

Lenny Abrahamsons shattering drama


Room borrows its fictional plot from the
tabloids and strips it of sensationalism,
says the Village Voice. The Guardian
agrees: Claustrophobic horror gives way
to muscle-clenching suspense in this film,
and then to something else, to a subtle
and unguessable third act in Emma
Donoghues screen adaptation of her
2010 novel Room, in which Abrahamson
brings his expertise in the pathology of
avoidance and shame and Brie Larson
gives a powerful performance.

Looking For Grace (M)

The Hollywood Reporter reckons Sue


Brookss film opens strongly, full
of poignancy and promise, training
its intimate gaze on the teenager of
the title, who has run away from her
family home to cross the sprawling flat
Wheatbelt of inland Western Australia.
But when the focus widens the tone
lurches into awkwardness, undercutting
the emotional impact. SBS agrees: The
films many fragments never arrange
to form a context in which Graces
behaviour or that of the characters
who spend the film looking for her can
make coherent, emotional sense.

Somerville Feb 1-7


The Wait (M)

A mothers grief at the loss of her son


underlies this cinematically dazzling
debut, though a surfeit of style and
too many unanswered questions keep
auds at arms length, says Variety.
The Hollywood Reporter agrees Piero
Messina (Paolo Sorrentinos assistant
director on Oscar winner The Great
Beauty) occasionally indulges too
much in stylistic superfluities and isnt
the subtlest of directors but Juliette
Binoche has such quiet grace that even
somewhat awkwardly metaphorical
sequences ... are transfigured
into quietly wordless moments of
considerable power.

win an award for performing in the
most shows in Fringe World.
The versatile singer will front
The Cottontail Trio, Darling Buds

Blues, Dirty Jazz, An Evening in
Paris and Anatomically Incorrect

Jessie covers it all from soft,
lyrical and romantic to gutsy and
grand blues, close-knit harmonies
and dirty humour.
After starting singing with a swing
band at 15, Jessie then took a more
intellectual approach to the swing
era, with degrees in anthropology
and sociology from UWA and was
well on her way to a PhD on gender
analysis in swing dancing.
She gave up her studies because
she was getting so many gigs as a
performer.
Jessie turned to studying the soft,
purring style of Peggy Lee, and in
her Fringe World show The Darling
Buds of May Fever she sings all
Peggys best known songs.
In the Swing Revue, Jessie is
joined by Libby Hammer, Ali
Bodycoat, Ricki Malet and the
Cottontail Trio for a high energy
performance of the great songs of
the 30s to the 50s.
In Dirty Jazz and Dirty Blues,

We wanted to have a

Agent fined $5000 for


overcharging

Jones Land LaSalle spokesman Nick


van Helden predicts 24% oce vacancies by 2017.

Good time for office


renters

Nearly a quarter of Perth offices


could be sitting vacant by the end
of this year, according to real estate
multinational Jones Lang LaSalle.
The commercial vacancy rate is just
shy of 18%, but with the resources
industry in decline and eight new
buildings under construction the
forecast is grim. JLL spokesman
Nicholas van Helden said the Perth
market was looking like heading
towards 24% vacancy by the end of
the year. Free fit-outs and rent-free
periods are among the incentives
being offered by landlords in a
bid to attract commercial tenants.
Given the available deals that are
out in the market place, tenants
are enjoying reduced rents and
incentives to move, so it is a good
time to take advantage of the deals,
Mr Van Helden told the ABC.

A Karratha real estate agent has


been slapped with a $5000 fine
by the State Administrative Tribunal
for overcharging clients more than
$19,000 between November 2011
and March 2015. First National
Real Estate Karratha was found
to have overcharged for property
inspections and management
fees on eight properties over the
period, but the tribunal accepted
that the charges were the result
of administrative errors and not
deliberate. The clients have since
been refunded the overpaid fees.
Acting Commissioner for Consumer
Protection David Hillyard said
clients of property management
firms should be vigilant when
examining their invoices. Property
owners should check their statements
carefully and ensure that the fees
being charged are in accordance
with their agreement. If not, take
the matter up with the agency
and contact Consumer Protection
if the problem is not rectified
immediately.

home about an hours drive southeast of Pittsburgh was the home of
serial killer Buffalo Bill in the 1991
film Silence of the Lambs, and
was first listed for US$300,000 six

but no serious buyers, the owners
dropped the price to US$250,000.

Dont settle for capped


fees

Settlement agents and land valuers


will no longer have their fees
capped by the state government,
according to Commerce Minister
Michael Mischin. The fee caps for
settlement agents and land valuers
were imposed in pre-internet days
when information on charges
wasnt easily accessible, and there
was a risk that consumers could
be charged excessive fees, Mr
Mischin said. Western Australia is
the only state that regulates these
types of charges, which are widely
regarded as being outdated and
unnecessary. According to the
Department of Commerce, most
fees charged by settlement agents
and land valuers are already well
below the legislated maximum,
which will no longer apply from
February 3.

Opportunity within the current real estate market


Those who believe they can
predict what will happen in the
real estate market for 2016
TH`UK[OH[[OLV\[JVTLTH`
not match the predictions they
went in with at the start of the
year.
Ongoing uncertainty and
volatility in Chinese markets
PZOH]PUNNSVIHSYHTPJH[PVUZ
with this year being earmarked
as one of the most tumultuous
starts in economic history.
Stock market volatility directly
impacts everything in the
broader economy from
property prices, to consumer
sentiment, the jobs market and
more, and this year looks to be
a particularly interesting one.
Property consultant, Richard
Clucas, believes despite the
current situation in China and
globally to a larger extent,
we can expect to see house
prices in the Perth market
stabilise somewhat.
However he said this may
change depending on
investors likelihood of
VVHKPUN]HJHU[WYVWLY[PLZ
which may cause the local
property market to dip a little
further.

He expects growth for 2016


to come from young couples,

looking to enter the market or
those wanting to capitalise on
the softer market and move up
in terms of price bracket.

conditions can be expected
after what he described as an
amazing run for our resource
rich state.
Although there still is a degree
of uncertainty about the extent
of the impact of the resources
slow down, people still need
a roof over their head and a
place to call home.
He said as the construction
phase of the larger mining
projects winds up, we may see
some movement out of WA
which also impacts demand
and the supply of stock to the
THYRL[^OPJOPU[\YU^PSSHLJ[
housing prices in Perth.
Mr Clucas said although the
stock market had been rocked
by global uncertainty about
Chinese markets and other
external factors early in the
New Year, the start to the year
in property had been a fairly
strong one so far.

There is certainly an increase


in buyer activity, he said.
Buyers who are currently
renting are seeing
opportunities and its a great
time to educate and discuss
KPLYLU[VW[PVUZ^P[OOVTL
owners.
Opportunity exists when you
sell in a soft market and buy in
a soft market, with potentially a
better return in the higher price
brackets.
He said those in this situation
looking to upgrade are in a
good position to buy.
Interest rates remain, he
said, one of the major factors
homeowners take into
consideration when buying a
home.
Its also having a positive
impact on buyer sentiment so
far this year with predictions
are that rates will stay on hold
for most of 2016.
Mr Clucas said sellers were
becoming more realistic when
pricing their properties and
should seek advice from a
reputable agent to ensure
their properties were priced
correctly.

Agents need to price the


property correctly and
realistically and sellers need to
present homes to the highest
possible standard.
You need an agent with a
proven selling strategy and lots
of energy and who is prepared
to leave no stone unturned in
securing the best possible deal
for their client, he said.

three young children became
older, say the owners.
Five spacious bedrooms and
two versatile living areas fit the
bill, while a solid architectural
relationship with the outdoors ensures that you can enjoy the best
of beachside living at any age.
Enjoy sunsets over the ocean
from the top-floor balcony, or
entertain guests in the downstairs
alfresco area next to the pool at
the rear of the 873sq.m block.
If you would prefer to relax
indoors, you can make use of
the sprawling upstairs living
area, complete with a minimalist
kitchen, and an adjoining lounge.
The selling agent is Greg
Williams, of Mack Hall.

Subi rejects latest


DevWest plans

Tim 0405 049 994

From page 7

tsbi@westnet.com.au

Even after changes to the town planning


scheme since then for this site, he said the application was in breach of revised guidelines.
The most notable of these is the height of
the building, he said.
At 18.9m, on the Churchill Avenue boundary, with an approved limit of 7m, it is more
than twice what is allowable.
He said it would set a dangerous precedent
for other buildings in the area, which was
mainly low-rise.
Gabrielle Bouffler, also of Barker Road, said
the developers were pushing the maximum
height and scale of the site.
They are seeking to build up to the maximum discretionary height of 19m, rather than
the 15m height limit, she said.
Peter Farley, of Barker Road, said six storeys
in this location was out of the question, and
said the developer should submit an earlier
application to build three storeys on the site.
A group of five people, including DevWest
founder Tony Hatt, left the council chambers
after councillors voted not to support the plans.
DevWest originally lodged plans with the DAP
for a five-storey mixed-use building in 2012,
but these met fierce community opposition,
including a petition signed by 240 residents.
The original application to the DAP was
withdrawn.
Plans hit another obstacle when the council
backed down from secret talks with the developers to allow a council-owned carpark in
Olive Street to be used as part of the footprint
of the building.

because the noise of the cars would reverberate around our studios, located right above the
race track, and so we would head by train into
Italy for pizza.
Tonya, now a mother of three aged 20, 15 and
seven, joined the Australian Ballet in the 1980s.
She said the highlights included dancing
and queuing for ice cream in St Petersburg
with dancers from the Kirov Ballet, dancing
before the Queen at Covent Garden in London
in 1988 for Australias Bicentenary, and getting into trouble from our artistic director for
being late for a rehearsal in Beijing because
I had hitched a ride on the back of a bicycle
so I could visit Tiananmen Square.
Back in WA, she studied for a law degree
before moving to Hong Kong for five years.
She was there when it was handed back to
China.
When she finally moved back to WA, Tonya
spent five years as the business development
manager at the Leeuwin training ship.
I addressed more than 200 Rotary and Lions
clubs, raising money for youth at risk,she said.
On Australia Day, Tonya was made a member
of the Order of Australia for her significant
service to the community, children and young
people through charitable and philanthropic
roles.
While her husband, Malcolm, was Governor,
they started Kids who Give, through schools,
to encourage and reward youngsters who help
others.
She said she had visited African orphanages
and protested on the streets against medical
and scientific research funding cuts and was
a trustee and administrator of the McCusker
Foundation.

Remember that old

If one of us already had an item that represented something, we didnt want to duplicate
that, she said.
Claremont mayor Jock Barker said School
Days would feature memorabilia from some
of the more than 25 educational institutions
established in Claremont from the earliest
days of the Swan River Colony.
As many children prepare to return to
school, now is an opportune time to reflect
on how things have changed, Mr Barker said.
The nostalgic exhibition offers a wonderful
snapshot of days spent at school dating back
to the turn of last century.
The exhibition takes you back to the days
when getting the cane was common practice,
topees were part of your uniforms and school
milk, along with school bags, sat outside the
classroom getting warm.
Next Thursday, February 4, the museum
will host History in a Coffee Cup from 9.30
to 10.30am to mark the exhibitions opening.
There will be morning tea; bookings on 9340

New lawyers
launch into
the real world

From page 1

From page 9

This year Legal Aid is not


taking any graduates.
If you want to work there,
or many other places, you need
to get admitted first.
In Nicholass day, new lawyers did articles. Now they
pay $9000 to do legal training.
Nicholas said one of the
reasons he set up the project
was learning that some new
lawyers paid and had their 75
days of required work experience knocked down to only 25.
Im really thankful to Nick,
Mitch said.
It has given me an opportunity I would not otherwise
have had.
Last Friday the first 19
Piddington graduates heard
insights from from Supreme
Court Justice Robert Mazza on
how to be an ethical lawyer.
Justice Mazza said he
applauded the graduates
achievements.
Its no mean feat to complete a law degree and survive
the rigours of your first week,
Justice Mazza said.
The public expects a great
deal from legal practitioners.
(The Piddington Society
was named after Albert
Piddington, the shortest serving High Court judge [one
month], who never sat on the
bench.)

Big bang theory Members of the Irwin Barracks based 3rd Light Battery (of the 11th/28th Battalion,
Royal Western Australia Regiment) reserve unit kicked o Australia Day in Perth with a 21 gun salute.

Local unit salutes OZ day


A 21-gun salute in Kings
Park at noon on Tuesday was
fired by men and women of the
3rd Light Battery from Irwin
Barracks, Karrakatta.
The battery, an Army Reserve
unit, has taken part in every
Australia Day since 1948.
The gunners fired 105mm
M2A2 Howitzers that saw front
line action in South Vietnam
but which are now used as

saluting guns.
Major Robert Coales, who
commands the battery, said
he was proud of his units role
commemorating Australia Day.
I am very pleased that the
members of the battery can take
an active part in Australia Day
and boost the days celebrations
with a bang, he said.
We are a permanent fixture
because we have fired the same
salute every Australia Day for

the past 67 years.


Major Coales said they also
fired the starter gun for a year
of remembrance to commemorate the Australian armys first
actions on the Western Front,
100 years ago this year.
This year will be a time of
national pride, he said.
It holds tremendous historical and emotional significance
for all Australians.

Forced strata sales a puzzle


From page 5

Hold-out owners forced


to sell under the 75% rule
would have disputes about
valuation resolved by the State
Administrative Tribunal, which
would appoint a valuer.
Mr Hegney said that arriving
at a fair valuation could pose
a puzzle for the valuer when
the new law ensured there was
only one possible buyer for the
remaining 25% of units.
But these old buildings are
worth more dead than alive,
he said.
A unit now worth $900,000
could be valued at $1.5million
by the SAT, taking into account
the land value for the higher
density now permitted.
Say there are 50 equal strata
units on a site that has been rezoned for five storeys.
The valuation would be
one-fiftieth of the land as a redevelopment site, not the old
value of the existing unit.
Ms Whiting said she had
shown her plans for a boutique
hotel at the rear of the site,
ground floor shops, and luxury
apartments to Cottesloe council.
They liked the way we were
thinking and what we planned
to do, Ms Whiting said.
She said she planned to sell all
three parts of the development.
It will cost $46million to
$50million to build, she said.
Procurement costs will be

Development is
important, but
we dont want
Gold Coast-style
development.

$30 million, including interest.


Theres a lot of risk, including a lot of what-ifs.
Ms Whiting had a scale model
of a developed Marine Parade
built for the 2009 Enquiry by
Design.
She said she had seen local
MP and Premier Colin Barnett
about her plans.
Every developer on that
strip has been to see him, Ms
Whiting said.
Ms Whiting said the state
governments new laws for
Marine Parade heights were a
game-changer.
The moment the rules
changed, it opened up sensible
options, she said.
It wouldnt work with a threestorey height limit.
People are down-sizing and
want three-bedroom units.
Ms Whiting said she would
prefer to have seven or eight
storeys at Seapines.
But we can probably make it

work with five or six, she said.


Ms Whiting said she was about
to buy three Seapines units from
fellow syndicate member Dean
Capelli for $850,000 each.
She said that would be a
strong indication to the SAT as
to the true value of remaining
Seapines units.
It should prevent hold-outs
who want to extort prices,
she said.
Development is important,
but we dont want Gold Coaststyle development.
Mr Hegney said related-party
transfers would be discounted
or disregarded by a valuer.
Fulvio Prainito is one of the
few remaining Seapines owners who doesnt want to sell
his home.
He says timing is important
for owners who may be forced to
sell when prices are depressed.
He wrote to Mr Barnett on
Thursday saying he needed
help desperately, and asked
Mr Barnett to ensure changes
to the Strata Act were just and
equitable.
Your recent Cabinet decision on this matter will enable
speculators to force the remaining 25% of land owners, who
have an absolute right to their
land, to agree against their
will to sell at market price to
the speculators, Mr Prainito,
who has lived at Seapines for
25 years, said.

Angle grinder started Wandana fire


From page 5

the man on the landing, with


the fire door half open.
He said he had stopped the
man going back into the smokefilled apartment.
He looked as if he was considering returning to the flat for
some reason and I discouraged
him because of the very thick
smoke, Mr Eastgate said.
I took a breath and went in
to close the front door to his flat
to try to contain the fire.
I had to do it by touch be-

cause the smoke was so dense


you couldnt see.
Once I did that I came back
out on the landing and we shut
the fire door.
Mr Eastgate said the corridor
was full of yellow, pungent
smoke.
You wouldnt want to get a
lungful of it, he said.
Mr Eastgate and another
neighbour helped the man to
get down the stairwell to the
ground floor where other residents had also gathered.

Some residents on the ninth


and eight floors including a
100-year-old woman and a man
with serious health and mobility problems remained in their
units during the incident.
FESA estimated the damage at about $100,000 but the
Department of Housing, which
owns the 244-flat complex, said
the full extent of the damage
was still being assessed.
The department said alternative accommodation had been
arranged for the tenant.

Some Seapine units.


The Act and regulations
will not be inclusive without
giving the opportunity to those
not willing to sell the option of
obtaining like for like in any
new redevelopment.
I have experienced this once
before in Africa.
I am sure that you dont
want to be remembered as the
Premier who made a lot of strata
owners feel more like they were
in Zimbabwe or China rather
than Western Australia.
Mr Prainito said it would be
great to have a lot of the old ugly
buildings in Perth redeveloped
in a more efficient and effective
way, but the current proposal
was not right, because it was
not inclusive.
It will lead to speculators
abusing it to the extent that in
my case it may lead to the State
Administrative Tribunal making an unjust and inequitable
decision because the Act and
regulations may not encourage a
collaborative approach towards
redevelopment, for the sake of
efficiency and effectiveness,
Mr Prainito said.
He said the SAT should not
force any sale of strata units
at market prices unless the
redevelopment was guaranteed
to proceed or until a developer
with a decent track record had
engaged a quality builder to
do it, with penalties for not
completing it within a specified
time frame.
Obtaining a development approval should not be enough,
Mr Prainito said.
It would be a travesty of justice if people were forced to sell
to enable the redevelopment of
an old strata block and then the
redevelopment did not proceed
until it was commercially viable
to do so.

Ms Collard said his assault on


the mother of his child plays
over in his mind.
He shouldnt have acted the
way he did, she said.
He has issues ... with anger
management. His cousin had to
pull him away.
The boy wept and was handed
tissues by a guard as Ms Collard
told Ms Horrigan about the guilt
he felt.
He needs help with substance
issues, Ms Collard said.
His mum relies on him
greatly.
The state prosecutor did not
want the boy to get bail and said
he should go to jail.
Its a very nasty incident where
a girl has been set upon, the
prosecutor said.
The boys mother stood and
groaned when it became clear
the boy was not getting bail.
Ms Horrigan told the boy his
criminal record started when
he was 13.
There are burglaries, an
aggravated armed robbery, and
criminal damage, she said.
Your girlfriend would not have
wanted to have been yelled at,
abused and kicked.
It demonstrates you have no
respect for that woman, and no
respect for yourself.
They are just appalling
facts: this woman was 32 weeks
pregnant with your baby.
You beat her up again.
Im feeling sick listening to
this.
Ms Horrigan said she could
not allow the boy back into the
community yet.
I hate locking up children,
she said.
The boy told her: I wish my
father was here to tell me what
to do.
Ms Horrigan said: Dont think
about what you dont have think
about what you do have.
The boy said his father would
have given him a hiding, but
the remark earned him another
rebuke from Ms Horrigan.
She sentenced the boy to five
months detention, to be served
from November 24.
The boys trial over the Curtin
Avenue allegation was set for a

A prosecutor alleged the boy
was part of a group of about 10
people outside Ms Rodriguezs
home before her brother endured
a 10-minute assault, and had his
nose broken.
Im sure Mr Rodriguez would
like to give evidence, Ms
Horrigan said.
An 18-year-old Lockridge
man also charged with assault
occasioning bodily harm after
the dinner party violence, had the
charge and 11 others remanded
until next month.

High-flyer
Wendy a
role model
From page 11

Wendy said she had followed


her mothers example of volunteering from the age of about 12.
She said she was a Sunday
school teacher and, at 18, taught
ballroom dancing to blind people.
Her mother was a hairdresser
and used to give free haircuts
and styles to people in aged care
homes.
She had given up her voluntary
work when she was 80 and had
her 97th birthday a fortnight ago.
Wendy said giving something
back was something her whole
family did.
Her Scottish-born grandfather
enlisted for World War I after
coming to Australia.
Afterwards he was awarded the
OBE, having served as chairman
of a roads board for 31 years.

The Sporting

with AFL Hall of Famer Austin Robertson

Grief for the AFL as two magpies fly off course

Good golly Miss Molly. The


news is out.
The Maggies Dane Swan and
Travis Cloke, and a couple of
lesser lights, recently found that
they each had their own dinga-ling and were so proud of
the discovery that they wanted
to share it with the world.
I discovered my own ding-aling when I was four years old.
Ive watched Swanny being
interviewed on the telly a
couple of times and I have the
impression, folks, hes not the
sharpest tool in the shed and
could be highly sought after as
the tattooed man in the next
tour of the Bullen Bros circus.
Judging by Eddie MaGuires
statements, he can see a big
future for these Magpie nudists with Nines Footy Show,
where Sam Newman and Shane
Crawford have spent five years
dacking each other.
Sam, of course, would just
love Swannee and Trav to join
the team, unashamedly giving
regular glimpses of their dinga-lings to a thrill-seeking audience every Thursday night over
the footy season.
I have spent five decades trying to understand what makes
the opposite sex tick, without
great success.
It may be that such photos
of nude heavily-tattooed AFL
players are just as exciting to
the female eye as photographs

But, what in
the hell were
Swanny and Trav
thinking?

Dane Swan: room for another


tattoo?
of nude, non-tattooed sporting
women would be to the male
species.
But, what in the hell were

Swanny and Trav thinking?


Or maybe they didnt think
perhaps they are just a couple
of bird (well, magpie) brains?
Was this a prank? Maybe.
Funny? No. Reckless? Certainly.
These are monumental errors
on many fronts.
At home, of course, it could
have disastrous complications;
for the AFL it is messy; and, for
the players concerned it must
be highly embarrassing.
As for Collingwood, if you
take any notice of Eddie, these
arent Collingwood players
mucking up, bringing the club
and game into disrepute. This is
a personal matter for them, and
nothing to do with the football
club, breaching only the AFLs
social media policy.
Really Eddie?
And what about Eddies quip
about Swannys photo?... Well,
at least he has shown us that
there is still somewhere he can
put a tattoo Boom boom!
And Trav didnt take his underwear off, he pulled them half
mast, which makes it somehow
even more infantile.

Travis Cloke kept his socks on.


All I can say is that I think
some footballers minds work
in mysterious ways.
Sexting is a questionable prac-

tice at best, and sending nude


mirrored photos of oneself does
not make good sense.
And what anybody considering this practice should also
remember is that the photos
are rarely flattering.
Well, weve had the crime;
now, what of the punishment?
Does the AFL join those
disapproving tut-tutterers and
fine the lads?
Do we, like Eddie, call them
idiots, and make a joke, thereby
laughing it off?
Or do we come down on them
like a ton of bricks, as these two
clowns have brought the game
into disrepute?
What the AFL thinks about all
this, I dont have any idea, but as
James Hirds nose grows longer
by the day, I would wager a few
bucks, if I could borrow some,
that they would not welcome
any more of this rubbish from
the highly-paid player group.
As for me, well, Im no puritan,
and I can see a funny side to it,
but let me say this.
I would consider a pretty hefty
fine and a suspension. If I were
a parent, I wouldnt want my
kids looking at this nonsense
uncensored.
Personally, I think its a lousy
look for our game, and its time
for the AFL to send a message
that behaviour of this sort will
not be tolerated from two of our
games luminaries.

What really makes


the fans tune in
The numbers are in, and they
are not a surprise.
A lot of people have been
watching Australias Big Bash
League at the ground and on
television this summer.
What has happened this
season with the explosion of
numbers coming to watch Big
Bash League almost defies reasonable explanation.
Why have people been so
transfixed?
They arrived at the grounds
in their scores of thousands all
summer long, and now we know
they watched it at home as well.
Recently, I wrote glowingly
about the games obvious attractions.
The powerful hitting, the frenetic pace, the floodlights, the
fans with their partisan zealotry,
loud music, PA announcements,
fireworks and noise.
Its one hellava night, Mums
and Dads, with the billy lids with
painted faces looking more like
they are all at one giant party
than a cricket match.
But one thing I didnt mention
was the breathtaking fielding.
The fielders in the tournament
add a whole new dimension to
a visit to the cricket.
These guys are perfectlychiselled athletes, and whether
they are old or young, slim or
with eye-popping muscles and
six-pack abs, they all have one
thing in common.
They all attack the ball with
ferocity, gather it cleanly and
rip it back like a pistol shot to
the keeper at the ready.
The catches some of these
guys manage are unbelievable.
Yet, as with all things one can
be stunned into disbelief when
suddenly, as in the Heat-Sixers
match a few weeks back, five
catches go to ground.
But usually, whether the ball
is high in the sky, like a falling
meteor, or coming at them as if
shot out of a snipers rifle, these
guys rarely drop anything.
And what about the men who

will slide 4m on their bellies to


save a solitary run? Sort of like
bob-sledding without the ice.
In days of yore, some fielders
were thought so ordinary that
they were placed in positions
where they would not be tested
too much.
It nearly went without saying
that the speed men of bygone
years would be hidden away at
fine leg, like pieces of unwanted
garage sale dinnerware.
One of these guys is my great
mate Dennis Lillee (DKL), who
was the best fast bowler of
them all, and who was never
likely to field in the covers, or
at first slip.
Even Tony Lock agreed. His
nickname for DKL was FOT
(Flipping Old Tart) after some
pretty ordinary fielding by the
great man at deep fine leg.
But the cricketers of today
dont need any instructional
manual on how to field.
They come already prepared,
and are bloody brilliant as they
bring excitement for us all with
their turbo-charged action.
I believe the fans enjoy this
sort of excitement every bit
as much as seeing a towering
Shaun Marsh six, or watching
Jason Behrendorff spread-eagle
the stumps.
When the TV deal came up
for the rights to the Big Bash, it
was thought that Channel Ten
had bought a muppet, and that,
with a price of $100 million, Ten
had paid well over the odds.
Ten had, in fact, bid aggressively for the Test match rights,
which Nine had held since
the great cricket war of World
Series Cricket.
Ten would be delirious with
their purchase now, but that
arrangement will come to an
end after the 2017-18 season.
Poor old Fox Sport, which
televised the first two years of
the Big Bash, were frozen out
at the last rights negotiation.
I cant wait to see what happens next time around.

Being allowed to take home the ball you catch would be a big incentive for the game.

Take me out to the ball game


Ball-hawks, people who are
lucky enough to snaffle a ball
at a major league baseball
match in the US, have been
a part of the American dream
for years.
I have seen this happen many
times on television.
Once I saw a guy holding
a beer take a catch, and not
spill a drop.
I then saw a guy catch a ball
in a cap, then another holding
a baby while catching a ball
in a cap.
In the Big Bash this season,
there have been more than 300
sixes hit and therefore nearly
that many opportunities for a
fan to take a catch.
But the pity is, the skilled
fan who gets his mitts on the
ball has to throw it back.
Imagine the celebration if
he was allowed to take the
ball home. This would be a
huge incentive for the fans,
and would certainly drag more
through the turnstiles.

If its good enough for baseball, whats the issue for the
cricket fan to pocket what
would be an important keepsake from Big Bash cricket?
Before I get a basketful of
moaning letters, I know why
Cricket Australia is reluctant.
Its because there is a
thought that a different ball
would be brought into the game
and might behave differently.
Umpires already have a box
of balls they brandish often
enough in modern cricket, and
thats for Test cricket as well.
So, I believe it could be easily solved.
All you need are lots of different balls in bags, say two to five
overs old; then five to 10 overs
old; covering every possibility.
I saw two umpires in
Brisbane last week continue
with a match when it was raining cats and dogs, changing the
ball every two or three overs.
Those two umpires, Simon
Fry and Mike Graham-Smith,
simply applied commonsense

both to the inclement weather


and the condition of the ball.
I feel certain that this was a
decision for the 27,000 fans who
had paid their money to get in
and watch a game of cricket.
But to allow the fans to take
home balls from matches
would be regarded as giving
them a priceless piece of
treasure.
So, when Shaun Marsh belts
a ball 23 rows back and somebody takes a catch, the fan
should get to keep it.
Cricket, sometimes to its
detriment, has always lived
with its own philosophy.
The Big Bash just may be
refreshing and strong enough
to drag the game kicking and
screaming into a brave new
world not enjoyed by the traditionalists.
When the two tetonic plates
of old and new have ground
against each other long
enough, dont be surprised
if this little change gets over
the line.
