Scaffidi:
Ban city
smokers
‘Why are we pandering to a minority?’

AS Perth councillors voted to
ban smoking in Perth’s malls
on Tuesday, diehard faggers
outside were ruing the end of
an era.
French tourist Helene Le Jeune,
who’s in Perth for a two-month
stay, was unimpressed.
“For a tourist I think it’s crazy,”
she told the Voice. “In France it is
very free, it’s not a problem. Here
when you’re having a cigarette,
people look at you like you’re a
criminal.”
Retired driller Thomas Brown
has been smoking for 40 years.
“I think we should be free to do
what we like,” he says of the bans,
which will take about six months
to enshrine into law.
But lord mayor Lisa Sca di
says the days of “pandering to a
minority” are over.
That has local activist Alex
Whisson worried: “What
disturbs me about the proposal
is the impact it will have on civil
liberties. The real problem is this
is part of a wider agenda of state
regulation and control of public
space and social space,” he
told the Voice between puffs of
his Dunhills.

“ THEY’RE KEEPING THEIR PROMISE TO MY DAD.”
JACOB WILLIAMSON
Nine lives up
council pursued them for illegal
camping.
Tatyana worked off her
$165,000 share of fines by
serving 10 months in prison
from March 2011 to January 2012
while Ursula moved off-site.
A loophole preventing the
forced sale of the property was
recently lifted by the magistrates
court.
Mayor David Boothman
says the sale of the prime block
would allow the council to
recoup $325,000 incurred dealing
with the family while also
returning some cash to Ursula.
“The land can now be sold,
the various creditors paid, and
the remainder dispersed to Mrs
Dueschen to see out her life in
comfort,” he says
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
THE 25-year tussle between
Inglewood’s ‘cat lady’ and
Stirling city council has
ended.
Last Friday bailiffs auctioned
Ursula Dueschen’s Sixth Avenue
block for $1.7 million, bringing
to a close a saga which saw
the council visit the 951sqm
property hundreds of times to
issue notices over too many cats,
rubbish and unpaid rates.
In 2008 the council,
under a state administrative
tribunal order, demolished
Ms Dueschens’ fire-damaged
residence but she continued to
live on-site in a caravan with
her daughter Tatyana until the
Throughout the stoush
the council contacted support
agencies to secure alternative
accommodation for the pair,
who were said to be unwilling to
accept help.
Stirling city council media
advisor Ms Simone HolmesCavanagh said the city did not
know how much Mrs Dueschen
would pocket after paying-off
the city and creditors, or where
she was planning to live.
The womens’ extended illegal
camping at the property saw
them rack up magistrates court
fines totalling $422,603 in 2010.
Cr Boothman says the
council has constantly received
complaints from neighbours and
the closure of the saga is a relief
for staff who have dealt with it.

But Ms Sca di has flagged
that the current bans might be
extended: “If I had my way the
city would be smoke free,” she
said.
Ms Sca di described the long
lines of smokers in the malls and
Forrest Place as “unsightly and
sad”, but gave them a six-month
grace period where they’d get
warning instead of fines.
“There is nothing worse
that the arrogance of a smoker
walking through the mall pu ng
away and you’re trailing them...
how dare they?”
She says Forrest Place’s new
water playground is attracting
more kids who shouldn’t be
exposed to smoke. The Voice
noted the fountain was also a
magnet for smokers enjoying the
show.
Research out of the UK shows
child hospital admission rates
for asthma fell by 8 to 9 per cent
immediately after smoking was
banned in public places and
continued to drop in following
years.
Cr James Limnios said “it’s
not pleasant, as a father of
young children and a baby,
when you’re walking through...
a cloud of smoke. And if you’re
not a cigarette smoker, it’s not a
pleasant thing”.
Cr Eleni Evangel, a champion
of the fashion industry, said “all
the designer stores are going to
thank us, because you can smell
it on the clothes” when stores
are positioned close to smokerridden benches.
President of the Australian
Council on Smoking and
Health, Mike Daube has been
pushing for the ban for years.
He attended Tuesday’s meeting
and congratulated councillors on
the new law and reckons there
won’t be a lot of uproar when it
rolls out.
“When these things come in
you hear people say ‘it won’t
work, you’ll need tanks and the
Swiss National Guard to enforce
it’,” Prof Daube says.
But he predicts people will
“react fine, they always accept
it”.
He says “there’s quite a lot of
evidence from various studies,
particularly in the US, showing
that when there are restrictions
on smoking it’s another good
factor in encouraging smokers
to quit”.

Baysy unsettled
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
MOVES to reschedule a
$100,000 Bayswater council
nosh-up a fortnight before
council elections has been
knocked back amidst
allegations it was a ruse to
woo votes.
Bayswater mayor Terry
Kenyon backed moving the
ratepayer-funded Early Settlers
reception from its usual date in
late October or early November
to October 2, but wouldn’t say
why. Local government elections
are on October 19.
“In the past we have
changed the date to fit in with
Federal politicians’ schedules in
Canberra, this is nothing new,”
he said.
“The date is irrelevant—
people vote how they want to
vote.”
Cr Marlene Robinson
proposed the
date change
at a council
committee
meeting,
saying it was
necessary
because
several
councillors
were
unavailable.
• Chris Cornish
But Cr
Chris Cornish smelt a rat: No
councillors had formally advised
they were unavailable he noted.
“I believe this is being moved
for suspect purposes,” he said.
“Only recently certain
councillors voted to investigate
banning street festivals six
months before an election.
“Now these same councillors
are supporting this.”
He noted the street festival
ban was aimed at preventing
political candidates spruiking
themselves at public events in
the leadup to an
election and
wanted to
know why
the Early
Settlers
reception
should
be any
different.
But Cr
• Marlene Robinson
Robinson
said some councillors were
looking at the proposed change
“through distorted, twisted eyes
and minds.”
“I don’t go to these functions
to win votes—get a grip boys
and girls”.
Her amendment to move the
date failed to get a guernsey,
with Sylvan Albert, Cr Cornish,
Mike Anderton, Graham
Pittaway, Alan Radford and
Sonia Turkington sticking with
the o cers recommendation for
an October 30 luncheon.

Extending the Free
Public Transit Zone into
the City of Vincent
by DAVID BELL
IN one of the first
prosecutions under WA’s
beefed-up Building Act,
Vincent city council will
pursue an owner for failing
to fix up a derelict property.
The maximum penalty is
$50,000 for a first offence.
The Brookman Street house
is listed as “conservation
essential”—the council’s highest
category—and in 1990 was
named one of the two most
intact and “grandest dwellings”
in the street.
But the roof has been falling
in and the late 19th-century
house has fallen to ruin over
the past few years. Neighbours
have long suspected a case of
demolition by neglect.
A year ago on February 1,
owner Norman Ioannopoulos
told the Voice he was just
waiting on heritage parts so his
renos wouldn’t look out of place.
“You don’t restore a Ferrari
and put Volvo doors on it,” he
said at the time.
As the one year mark rolled
by the same fence is up around
the building and the same
builder’s sign is out the front.
After warning him to fix

up the site in July 2011, the
council will now pursue Mr
Ioannopoulos in court.
Vincent CEO John Giorgi
says “the owner has done very
little work and nowhere near the
amount he previously agreed to.
“He has failed to comply with
the legal agreement he had with
the city.”
The case is due for a mention
date in mid-February.
Mr Ioannopoulos was the
foreman who led the restoration
of the WA supreme court in
2000, and he was nominated for

Permit me...
WE live on West Parade opposite
the East Perth train station and
have for 20 years.
We built a garage out the back
which houses a scooter, trailer, four
bikes, sporting equipment, pool filter,
etc.
We have received many parking
tickets outside the front of our house
because the council refuses to grant us
a resident parking permit.
We use a visitors pass, leaving no
pass for our visitors!
We have just bought a second car
as our son is a learner and hence reapplied for permits.
It was refused due to the fact we
have a so-called garage for two cars.
We are the resident, the ones they
are supposed to be protecting, yet we
get the tickets for parking outside our
own house.
If we hadn’t built the garage, we’d
get the permit!

Minority report
Mount Lawley 9
IN EXPLAINING her joy at
introducing a Perth mall smoking
ban, our Perth High Empress has
asked us, “why should we pander
to the minority?”
That an apparent civic leader
should need a “please explain” on this
is chilling.
Not wanting to find myself in the
same situation as poor old Martin
Niemoller, let me offer this explanation
old friend.
First the PCC came for the fruit
seller in the mall, and I did not speak
out because I was not a fruit seller.
Then they came for the Goths and
the street kids, and I did not speak out
because I was not a Goth or a street
kid.
Then they came for me, and there
was no one left to speak for me. Who
will be next Lisa?
And why do we choose this
moment to clobber a minority, with
a One Nation style call of “majority
rules”?
Could it have anything to do with
Perth grinding to a halt as King Colin
builds his new playground on the
river, to serve his new palace on the
hill?
Another mate of mine Tertullian
suggested; “If the Tiber rises too high,
or the Nile falls too low, the remedy
is always feeding Christians to the
Lions.”
Let us hope Perth does not become
the sterile, still, minority-free paradise
our leader would appear to want it to
be.

IT was very disappointing to learn
of a recent push to have smoking
banned in Perth’s city malls.
Of course these are outdoor areas
with many mobile people inhaling all
kinds of smells wafting about from
cooking, ladies’ perfumes, and the
ever present smell of tra c exhaust
you’d expect in the inner city.
Any push to ban smoking
there has very little to do with
“protecting public health”
and a lot more to do with antismoking propaganda, cheap
populism, and the draconian
Nanny-state nonsense of smoking
prohibitionists.
B Rose
WA Chairman
Australian Protectionist Party
Voice chief of staff Steve Grant
responds: As a smoker I saw these bans
coming, and that the blame lay fair
and square at the feet of fellow addicts.
So few making the effort to smoke
away from others, leaving authorities
with no option but to give them a
push. Their lazy attitude has made
life harder for responsible smokers;
if you’re not committed enough to
walk a mile in a storm for a fag, you
should quit. As a reformed smoker
with a young family I hope the Barnett
government takes Perth council’s lead;
smoking should be banned in all parks.
Nothing disgusts parents more than
having the toxic stench of cigarettes
wafting across a playground full of
their kids—except, perhaps, having to
pick up the ever-present butts. The fact
you confuse smell with toxic fumes
and pretend there’s some disconnect
between the anti-smoking propaganda
and public health shows how little you
can really add to the subject.
Grass greener
RE: “Natives mow water bill”
(Voice, January 26, 2013); maybe,
but trial runs over several years
clearly indicate grass wins on
cost (provided management
knows what it is doing).
The cost per metre of
establishing natives is definitely
more expensive, then there is the
problem of selecting the right
plants, soil, climate, hand watering
versus fixed reticulation.
Because of the follow-on
maintenance, do you employ
a professional horticulturist,
who may be expensive, and
not necessary reliable? Council
gardeners are not skilled in
maintaining natives, which without
proper care will grow unnatural,
woody and overall have a limited
lifespan (meaning another
expensive replacement).
If you look at the natives
planted at Perth Airport, it seems
the skill and mentality of many
gardeners relates to exotics. Grass
in most cases—like at the Perth city
council—is watered at the wrong
time and poorly managed.
It’s all a question of management
and natives are not for local
government and furthermore
attract vandalism and litter.

• Lyn and Rod Willox: awarded he Order of Australia.
Flush with pride
by DAVID BELL
REFILLING Hyde Park’s lakes with
treated sewage has moved a step
closer with Vincent city council
commissioning a feasibility study.
A tender was awarded to international
engineering network GHD last month
for a 10-week study into ‘sewer mining’
to see if a pipe could be tapped and the
water treated and pumped back into the
lake or used for irrigation around town.
The state government lets Vincent
pump groundwater into the lakes but
there’s no guarantee that’ll be available
after 2017.
Mayor Alannah MacTiernan says
“water is going to become more and
more expensive as the low-cost options
disappear. This is about future proofing.”
Ms MacTiernan says it’s “ridiculous”
that Australians waste fresh water—even
flushing it down our toilets—when
recycled water will do for non-drinking
purposes.
“Particularly in Western Australia...
a very conservative approach is taken
and one almost has to treat it to drinking
water standards to use it.”
She recently wanted to rig up a system
in her house where the water from her
shower could be reused to flush the loo
but she couldn’t get approval for it.
“The health department said ‘someone
might drink the toilet water’.”
If the sewer mining plan works out
Vincent will be one of the first in WA to
go down that route, and Ms MacTiernan
says they could look to higher levels of
government for funding.
On Australia Day, Lyn Willox was
awarded the OA for 30 years of service to
people with disabilities in WA.
Ten years ago, her husband Rod
received the gong for his work with local
government, the environment and the
community.
“I think she deserves it a lot more
than me,” laughed Mr Willox, a veteran
Stirling city councillor.
Ms Willox has worked as a nurse
with the Cerebral Palsy Association
for 25 years; served on the board of
the Richmond Fellowship for 10 years,
helped people with mental illness, and
has been heavily involved in organising
paralympic sports.
In 2012, she was was awarded the
Community Service Medallion by Stirling
city council.
The 71-year-old still finds time to
organise games of Boccia—a form of
bowls for people with severe disabilities.
“I felt very honoured to be
recognised,” she said.
“Hopefully it will give me an
opportunity to promote my causes—
we’ve got a long way to go in terms of
mental health support.
“We need to demystify mental illness
and educate people on the causes and
treatments available.”
RF patron Geoff Gallop was elected
WA premier in 2001.
He resigned in 2006 citing issues with
depression: “In the interests of my health
and my family I have decided to rethink
my career,” he said.
Ms Willox also looks after her
daughter Louise, who has a disability.
“I’m very proud of her,” Louise told
The Voice.
“She is the best mum in the world!”
Mt Lawley MP Michael Sutherland
said Ms Willox was a “community gem”.

Dumpers

PHANTOM garden waste dumpers
are endangering flora and fauna in
Bayswater reserves.
Bayswater mayor Terry Kenyon says
dumping has rocketed since 2011, with up
to three incidents a week.
“The mulch attracts vermin which can
pose a threat to local wildlife,” he says.
“It also flattens existing plants and can
contain seeds or diseased material which
can harm the parks’ flora.
“When the city increases surveillance
the offenders then cease for a few weeks
and appear to move to another area
outside the city of Bayswater.”
Dumping hot spots include verges at
Hamersley car park, Waltham Reserve,
Hampton Senior High School, Lightning
Swamp (Matthews Close, just off Benara
Road) and Alan Lehman Reserve car
park.
“Given the volume and size of the
dumped loads, we believe a commercial
operator is responsible and could be
using an unmarked vehicle,” Cr Kenyon
added.
Stirling mayor David Boothman says
lazy dumpers cost his city a fortune.
“The city spends considerable time
and expense in cleaning up illegally
dumped rubbish within its streets and
parks, and views these matters seriously,”
he said.
“Nobody wants to see litter in our
parks or any other areas of our city.”
Stirling community safety manager
Laurie Couch says “littering of parks
can involve all kinds of rubbish such
as refuse, old furniture junk and plant
material”.

No ticket to riot
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
A COMMUNITY group and local
MP are pushing for turnstiles at
Maylands train station to keep yobs
out of the shopping precinct.
In June 2012 the number of people
using Maylands train station each day
was 3766, which was nearly double the
usage in 2010 and well over the 2500
usually required for turnstiles which
require a ticket before opening.
Traders on nearby Eighth Avenue
have complained for months about
abusive drunks getting off the train and
disrupting trade.
Some have resorted to locking
themselves in to escape the violence, and
say many of those creating problems
don’t have a ticket and would be kept out
by the turnstiles.
Bayswater council rangers reported
“a significant increase in the number of
reports relating to anti-social behaviour in
and around reserves at The RISE, Grand
Promenade Reserve, Halliday Park and
Pat O’Hara Reserve”.

Roger Tomlins, president of the
Maylands Residents and Ratepayers
Association, said tackling petty crime
would reap dividends.
“I recently read the book The Tipping
Point where they significantly lowered the
crime rate on the New York subway by
targeting fare evasion and gra ti crimes,”
he said.
“By focusing on petty crimes the
other bigger offences started to reduce as
well—all levels of crime are, to an extent,
interrelated.”
Labor Maylands MP Lisa Baker said
the turnstiles would be a small inroad in
the fight against anti-social behaviour in
Maylands.
“WA Police have recently doubled the
number of operational police available
to tackle crime in Maylands; Bayswater
city council has announced it is working
with all stakeholders to plan a better
way forward; retailers are helping by
improving their business practices,
residents are helping by reporting
problems that arise.
“The installation of these gates is a
small part of the solution.”

McEvoy backflip on strategy FROMTHECHAMBER
by DAVID BELL
PERTH councillor Judy McEvoy has
backflipped on her opposition to an
anti-racism campaign.
In August last year Cr McEvoy voted
against giving in-principle support to the
Human Rights Commission’s “Racism. It
stops with me” campaign on the basis it
didn’t offer enough protection to white
people.
But when it came up for another vote
this week the former publican quietly put
up her hand in support without revealing
what had changed her mind.
“Will this campaign work in reverse?
When I go to Northbridge and I get
abused, will that stop? Or when we had
the Heirisson Island Nyoongars here
interrupting our council meeting?” she
had previously asked her colleagues.
That was enough to earn the veteran
councillor a challenge in this October’s
elections from Western Australians
Against Racism member Bruce Campbell.
At this week’s meeting Cr James
Limnios said: “I come from a Greek
background... I personally have
experienced racism at school.
“If we, as grassroots-level people, can
support this thing, it’s very important.”
Cr Eleni Evangel, also Greek, said
Australia had come a long way from its
more racist past. Family members of hers
migrated from Greece three months ago
and “the reception they received was
wonderful”.
The council will put up info about the
campaign on its website, newsletter and
through social media.
Limoswine
by DAVID BELL
PUBLIC urination hit a new low in East
Perth on the weekend.
Perth lord mayor Lisa Scaffidi says an
East Perth resident complained they’d
“witnessed a limo driver pull up and 12
guys get out and urinate on a stretch of
grass near the ABC. We are not a third world
country and we do not need third world
behaviour to be carried out in our very
sophisticated first world city,” Ms Scaffidi
told Tuesday’s council meeting.
Her colleagues unanimously voted to
spend $13,600 expanding the city’s open-air
urinal trial to March.
Cr James Limnios said so far the
urinals installed on streets outside night
hotspots had collected “3785 litres, which
equates to 11,828 [people] not peeing on
our footpaths”.
Cr Limnios works in Northbridge and
said the pee problem is a blight on his daily
walk through the neighbourhood.
“If you go past certain spots in the city...
as soon as you get to a little dent in the road
the smell is really bad.”
The council says part of the public
urination problem is down to “the
reluctance of the Perth Transport Authority
to include public toilets at transport hubs”.
$1.15m will be spent in the next five
years on more loos.

HALF of a heritage listed building on Aberdeen
Street will be demolished. The PCC this week
allowed applicant Brandon Prately to knock down
the rear of 92 Aberdeen Street. The building is an
1888 Queen Anne-style cottage listed under the
council’s heritage protection scheme as “retain and
conserve if possible”. But the councillors liked the
design which will demolish the single-storey rear and
put up a three-storey office building which staffers
reckon will involve “adaptive reuse of heritage
buildings”. The vote was unanimous.
MEANWHILE the heritage value of 49 Ventnor
Avenue in West Perth has been recognised
with the council looking into declaring it a place
“of cultural heritage significance and worthy of
conservation”. The site contains a two-storey, interwar Old English-style block of fl ats considered an
“idiosyncratic and picturesque building in a largely
late-20th century streetscape”. The site is also
valued for its connection to JP Walsh, a prominent
Perth businessman who founded Walsh’s Economic
Store on the corner of Hay and William Streets. The
council will now ask the owner for their input. If it is
heritage listed, the owner will be eligible for a slew
of grants, awards, rate concessions, and bonus
plot ratio that can be sold to other projects so
developers can whack a few storeys on elsewhere.
NEW Perth CEO Gary Stevenson has stepped
down from the council’s design advisory
committee because he doesn’t have architectural
expertise. The committee refines development
applications before they’re put to council, trying to
soften out ugly edges and make the buildings more
palatable. It includes representatives from WA’s
planning institute and other architecture boffins. Mr
Stevenson will still sit in on the meetings as he does
with other committees.
LITTLE Athletics won’t be allowed to host
its championship reception at council house.
LA chief Samya Monaco asked lord mayor Lisa
Scaffidi if they could use council house for the
April reception, a once-in-seven-years event. Ms
Scaffidi handballed it to council (she only deals with
“civic, major, or urgent” requests) and this week
they decided against letting the littlies in, saving
ratepayers almost $8000. There was no discussion
of why the athletics event was refused. Cr Rob
Butler commented “obviously there was a reason” it
was recommended for refusal, and Ms Scaffidi told
him “yep”.

The areas shaded white above show where the analog TV signals will be switched off on
16 April 2013*. After this date, these areas will receive digital-only signals. If you haven’t
already done so, you need to get ready for digital-only TV.
How do I tell if I have digital TV?
If you can see ABC2, SBS TWO, GO!, 7TWO or Eleven, you are digital ready and don’t need
to do anything.
If I can’t see those channels, what do I have to do?
Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either:
• one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or
• a new TV with a built-in digital tuner.
Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to.
Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any
concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to
check your antenna and cabling.

Councils meet to
thrash out borders
9,000
Full Colour DL Flyers
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
$999
ONLY one Voiceland council will attend a
controversial local government breakaway meeting
this week.
Stirling city council will join 17 other councils, led by
Armadale, to thrash out new local government boundaries.
The G17 council model would be an alternative to the
15-20 new councils proposed by the WA Local Government
Association (WALGA) and the state-backed Robson Report
which suggested 12 super councils with about 250,000
residents.
Perth, Vincent and Bayswater city councils were among
13 councils not invited to the meeting, held at South Perth
city council o ces Thursday.
Stirling mayor David Boothman confirmed he would be
attending the splinter meeting.
“The CEO [Stuart Jardine] and I were at an initial meeting
on December 20 and a second meeting has been called for
January 31 due to no clear direction being agreed upon at the
first meeting,” he said.
“The group will be considering the development of a
response to the Robson Review, as the WALGA has not been
able to facilitate an agreed local government position.
“The city has been on record as being in favour of the
12 metropolitan council model outlined in the Robson
report however we believe those councils who already
fit the model, such as Joondalup, Wanneroo and Stirling,
boundaries should remain the same.”
Mayors voted 15-13 against WALGA submitting a joint
response to the state government at a Belmont meeting on
December 20, prior to the April 6 deadline.
Bayswater mayor Terry Kenyon said that the city has
consistently favoured a 10 to 12 local government structure,
not the G17 model.
“Only those that expressed support for the [17 council]
model were invited and that’s understandable,” he said. “So
I don’t regard this as being a snub in any shape or form.”
Perth lord mayor Lisa Sca di says her council is “proreform and generally very supportive of the Robson Report”
which recommended a haircut to the number of councils.
The PCC resolved that if the boundaries are to be changed, it
should be done by an independent authority.
Vincent CEO John Giorgi said his council was “aware
that a number of local governments are meeting to consider
‘redrawing boundaries’. The City of Vincent will not be
participating in that meeting”.

BAYSWATER city council is looking at a city-wide bike plan.
It would complete missing sections of cycle path across the city,
formalise an o cial bike network with routes and make it safer for
people to pedal across the city.
City o cers estimated it would cost around $80,000 to hire a
consultant to develop the plan, with $40,000 potential funding from
the department of transport available in 2014.
Cr Sonia Turkington said many Bayswater cycle paths had
missing sections.
“There are great stretches down at the river and the railway
line, but vital sections are missing and this plan would hopefully
address that,” she said.
Cr Sylvan Albert also supported the plan. “This will link in
beautifully with the existing cycle paths we have on our main
arterial roads,” he said.
Cr Marlene Robinson said that many Bayswater residents cycled
daily to their o ces in Perth. “This would go a small way to solving
the growing problem of tra c congestion in Perth,” she said.

“Amani” - meaning ‘peace’ in Swahili - is

in a peaceful and sophisticated setting
without noise.
Despite many small bars now popping

was a niche that needed to be filled. And
so she did, in the middle of the vibrant

WAS initially sceptical
about whether Anthony
Hopkins had the
physicality and timbre to
play Alfred Hitchcock.
But five minutes into
Hitchcock—with Hopkins loafing
in the bath with a newspaper
perched on his bulging gut,
pontificating in a low drawl—all
disbelief was suspended till the
closing credits.
Hitchcock zooms in on the
tumultuous period in 1960 when
the already-famous Britishborn director decided to make a
horror film called Psycho.
Following the success of
his most-recent film, North by
Northwest, the 60-year-old is
irked by a reporter’s comments
he should retire and leave the
industry on a high.
Artistic danger
In a bid to rediscover the
artistic danger of his youth he
refuses an offer to direct Casino
Royale, a movie about a spy
called James Bond, and instead
turns his attention to adapting
the grisly novel Psycho, based
on the murders of real-life serial
killer Ed Gein, for cinema.
Paramount gags at the
prospect of Hitchcock making
another uncommercial flop—
ARTS
A
STEPHEN POLLOCK
S
Vertigo struggled on its initial
release—and Hitchcock remortgages his house to finance
the film himself.
As Psycho goes over budget
and Hitchcock falls ill, the
pressure mounts on the veteran
director to salvage his reputation
and his sanity.
Ever-present is Hitchcock’s
complex relationship with
women: his ice-blonde leading
ladies, his mother and his wife,
Alma Reville (portrayed with
gutsy aplomb by Oscar-winner
Helen Mirren).
All the relationships are
slightly dysfunctional, with
Hitchcock fantasising over the
beautiful actresses he works
with, including Grace Kelly,
Tippi Hedren and Ingrid
Bergman.
When Reville seeks the
company of Hollywood hackwriter Whitfield Cook (Danny
Huston)—a sub-plot which
never really catches fire—
Hitchcock becomes increasingly
paranoid she is having an affair,
but giving little thought to his
own obsessions.
Like Hitchcock’s voyeuristic
camera, the audience becomes a
fly on the wall, buzzing around
the couple’s bedroom and the
Psycho film set.
Rumours of Hitchcock’s
misogynist behaviour towards
his leading ladies is insinuated
when the director brandishes
a knife at Janet Leigh (Scarlett
Johansson) in the infamous
Pyscho shower scene, to invoke
genuine terror.
Homage
But Hitchcock’s dark side
is never fully explored. This is
essentially a homage.
Soap lovers will enjoy the
Hollywood tittle-tattle and
melodrama of Hitchcock’s
eccentric marriage and film
buffs will revel in the behindthe-scenes nuggets about the
development of Psycho.
The saving grace of what
is, at the end of the day, an
elongated tele-movie, is the two
leads’ flawless performances,
who make the most of a tight
and witty script.
“You may call me Hitch. Hold
the cock,” he tells Janet Leigh.
Boom boom.
Hitchcock is entertaining
but, unlike the man himself,
somewhat thin.

HERE’S just
five weeks to the
Nannup Music
Festival.
So BEV BOOTH, of
Attadale will need to think
about what she’s packing
after winning the Voice
Nannup Comp.
The annual festival
is a crowd pleaser as
people flock to hear great
music, amid beautiful
surroundings.
It kicks off March 1
for the Labour Day long
weekend.
There’s an incredible
line up and a swag of fun
life to this forgotten
masterpiece.
The Pharaoh’s Daughter
is the story of a young
Englishman, Lord Wilson,
travelling through Egypt
with his servant John Bull.
At the foot of a pyramid
they meet a caravan of
Arab merchants who invite
them into their tent.
However a violent
storm sees merchants and
travellers taking shelter in
the nearest pyramid.
Falling asleep after
joining the merchants in a
chibouk pipe Lord Wilson

pharaoh’s daughter.

yummy food and a

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)
Venus moves into Aquarius. Your planet
leaves the ground and lifts up into the sky
like a hot air balloon. Can you think of anything more
uncomfortable than a bull in a hot air balloon? Your
feet aren’t going to be on the ground. You are going
to have to adapt as best you can.

in love but she is betrothed

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)
Having thrown a degree of chaos
into the works by daring to speak
up for the new, it’s now time to slow down and
integrate the changes you have inspired. If this
integration doesn’t happen, everything will return to
the way it was. Commit. Follow your vision through.
CANCER (June 22 – July 22)
The Moon is waning. This implies an
emotional out-breath. An emotional
out-breath is when we stop hanging on to things
that are bugging us and let them go. It’s also good
to breath out good feelings that have passed. Do
this and you’ll open yourself up to something new.
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)
The Sun is right smack in the middle
of Aquarius. Life is brushing out the
old and creating space for the new. The old isn’t
always all that excited about going – and sometimes
wisely so. Figure out what changes are essential and
what not. Follow through on the ones that are.
On the
money
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
With Mercury firmly planted in Aquarius,
adjustments are being made to your
garden. Time will tell whether these adjustments
have interfered with the life-cycle, or enhanced it.
Don’t be too quick to judge or complain. Take this
moment as it is and make the best of it.
F
REMANTLE
mayor Brad Pettitt
reckons he’s on the
money when it comes to
the port city’s success.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
The Moon is passing through, adding
feeling to your interests. If you notice
yourself fired up and emotional early in the week,
that’s why. It will settle. Let the extra feeling in as if
it were added horsepower. If it’s all too much, get
physical. Go for a run, dance, or swim.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
As Mars goes into Pisces early in
the week, a feeling of suddenly
being back in your element arises. There’s been a lot
of hullaballoo in Aquarius of late, which has taken the
collective milieu upwards into the world of thinking.
As feelings again dominate, you are at home.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The presence of a plethora of planets
in Aquarius is lifting your spirits. When
there’s lots of air around, it brings optimism and
enthusiasm. Who cares if it’s not so grounded!
Without optimism and enthusiasm, the world would
be a dull place. Be a little irrational and playful.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Venus is leaving. She has brought
you delight and all that controversies
that follow in the wake of attraction, infatuation and
besotted-ness. Her glow is travelling with you as
you climb out of your patch of solitary digestion and
begin to circulate again in the land of community.

Mars departs your shores, meaning you
have a few less cylinders under your

making you a little hard-line, so it’s not all bad that
he’s gone. Soften your position. By doing so you will
recognise support you missed noticing.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Mars arrives early in the week.
His arrival sets up an interesting
dilemma. Existence is insisting, via his presence,
that you own up to your will, to your capacity to take
the drivers wheel and get things done. You aren’t
being egocentric when you do. You are serving life.

HAT do Kylie Minogue,
Ronnie Corbett, Hobbits
and dumplings have in
common?
Like this Central Avenue, Maylands
home they’re all perfect examples of the
old maxim “good things come in small
packages”.
All of the above could happily cohabit
in this lovely weatherboard doll’s house
(except the dumpling of course, which
risks being eaten)
A nudge over 100 years old, this
two-bedroom former workers’ cottage
has been beautifully restored to enhance
its original historic features, while at the
same time being refurbished for today’s
lifestyle.
Old jarrah floors flow like dark
molasses through most of the rooms,
including the open-plan living/dining/
kitchen, no doubt formerly two rooms
knocked into one.
Overhead cute ceiling roses add a
dignified touch, as does the genteel front
verandah with its white painted timber
finish.
The kitchen is compact but there’s
plenty of cupboards and bench space in
this cosy central space.
And the main bedroom has a dressingroom that could easily become a Hobbit
home.
Sitting on 529sqm the rear garden
of this home is ideal for family
entertainment with a sunken, limestonewalled patio covered to make it versatile
all year round.
There’s plenty of soft, green lawn for
the kids to play on, and even room to add
a pool should you want.
A massive shed, accessed via a rear
laneway, has enough room for a couple of
cars, a caravan, or a boat—with the river a
walk away this is a great asset (and makes
a pool redundant).
You can almost touch the city and
Belmont race course from the river
foreshore.
There’s any amount of great cafes
and shops up the road from this home,
including the terrific Eighth Avenue strip.
Or head down Guildford Road and
in no time you’re in Northbridge or the
Perth CBD.
Good things certainly do come in
small packages if this delightful home is
anything to go by.

MT HAWTHORN
Hi,
Can you remember how painful it was when you last got something in your eye?
Whether it was an eyelash, a piece of metal off a grinder, or an accidental poke in
the eye by one of your loving children or grandchildren, it hurt, right?
We all know that eyes are sensitive, delicate parts of our bodies. And when they are
sore - we notice!
But, did you know that some of the leading causes of blindness can be totally pain
free?
Take Glaucoma for example. In its primary form, Glaucoma is a slow acting,
painless disease that causes irreversible vision loss and which can occur at any
age. Because it is the side vision that is lost first, sufferers don’t realise they have
a problem until it is too late. On top of that, it is estimated that 50% of people with
Glaucoma in Australia are undiagnosed. Whilst it is not curable, if detection occurs
early the disease can be managed and chances of vision loss greatly reduced.
So, no matter how old you are or how good your vision is, I would encourage you to
undergo regular eye examinations with an Optometrist as part of your general health
routine.
And remember – At OPSM We Love Eyes!
Regards,
Bjorn.

all because they didn’t do their homework. In fact, most didn’t even know that there were special models. I can’t believe how many people come into our store and want to trade up. So we decided to do some homework for you.
Just check out the differences in the models and you’ll be able to choose the one that’s right for you!” Peter Collison

Special model Family Q™. Like to entertain with huge roasts.
This is the bbq for you. I’ve seen how people respond to a
6.5kg Christmas turkey, it just blows them away. Comes with
a higher roasting lid, built-in thermometer and the latest
electronic ignition. Dropdown side tables are real space saver.
Weber’s three extraordinary ‘sear station’ models
Weber have reserved the sear station
for the very best barbecues in their
range. Why? They believe it makes
their Genesis and the Summit models
better than any of the other up-market
barbecues available. And you know
something? They may very well be
right.
Don’t think that these barbecues
can only cook an extraordinary steak
though. The cooking system is amazing.
If you want to cook for a crowd they
can do that brilliantly too. And roasts,
I reckon they’re almost as good as
any roast you’ll get from a charcoal
Weber. So my recommendation?
If you really love barbecuing,
and you are not
prepared to
compromise,
go for either the
Genesis or the Bring th

The Summit E-470 (4 burner)
and E-670 (6 burner)
Everybody who buys a Summit
barbecue seems to rave about it. Yes
they have the unique sear station but
there’s also a remarkable stainless
steel cooking system. It’s timeless and
I reckon it’s one of, if not the world’s
best. These barbecues are for the man
who has everything. They have Weber’s
Sear Station, a side burner, smoker,
plus a 240V compatible rotisserie with
dedicated infrared burner. The
rotisserie even drops down and
disappears when not in use. The hoods
have LED lights that automatically light
up the food when the hood is lifted. In
the evenings the burner control knobs
will provide a special ambience. You
see, they provide a soft light around the
barbecue area. My recommendation,
these barbecues have everything and
are outstanding value.
Genesis E-330
Nick-named the “barbecue in tails”. It’s a great
name because this barbecue is all class and it
looks classy too. It’s the barbecue that cooked

look at all the expensive gas barbecues available, this
one is still my favourite.
