Scaffidi: Ban city smokers ‘Why are we pandering to a minority?’ • Thomas Brown’s days enjoying a quiet smoke in Murray Street mall are numbered, and he’s not happy. Photo by David Bell by DAVID BELL 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.

That has local activist Alex Whisson worried: “What disturbs me about the proposal is the impact it will have on civil liberties.

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.

Photos by David Bell • From page 1 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”.

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. Vincent goes after neglectful owner Coming in February with your choice of eggs AVAILABLE IN THE RESTAURANT 8AM - 11AM Eleni’s Priorities for Perth Advertisement As part of the Barnett Liberal team, Eleni will fight for: 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.

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 a Master Builders’ excellence City of Vincent Town Planning Scheme No. 1 Notice of Application To Use Or Develop Land Notice is given that P R Mavor has applied to the city of Vincent for Change of use from Shop to Eating House and Unlisted Use (Small Bar) and Associated Additions and Alterations on 25 Green Street, corner of Dunedin Street, MOUNT HAWTHORN being on Certificate of Title Volume 1101, Folio 800.

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! What’s with that Town of Vincent? Elizabeth Perry West Pde, Perth The Ed says: Perhaps the answer is staring at you from across the road. 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.

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.

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”.

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”. • Mens, ladies, Social mixed & juniors • A competition to suit everyone • Great new location • Bar facilities • Roger Tomlins and Lisa Baker at Maylands Train Station. Photo by Jeremy Dixon 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”. 0423 784 776 | [email protected] www.westcoastfutsal.org.au 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.” raes e m X H o s t i s r k e a e e w Y t s w e ju IAt isN ur appliances Give yo a makeover!

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. Advertisement Analog TV is being switched off in Perth and surrounding areas on 16 April 2013* Wannamal 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”.

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”.

Print & Delivery Bike plan mooted Give Your Message a Helping Hand To discover the great benefits of delivering your flyers with the Perth Voice phone Natalie Hug 9430 7727 by STEPHEN POLLOCK 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. NOW OPEN Leederville’s new WINE BAR T he “Amani concept” was designed by Kenyan born owner Jacquie Guilbert. “Amani” - meaning ‘peace’ in Swahili - is an expression of Jacquie’s love for sharing a drink and a delicious meal with friends in a peaceful and sophisticated setting without noise. Despite many small bars now popping up left, right and centre, Jacquie felt that it was a niche that needed to be filled. And so she did, in the middle of the vibrant strip of Oxford Street in Leederville.

Entertainer Clarise Ravat Cocktail Evening Party Rear window view of a master in action I 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.

The opulent ballet premiered in 1862 in a grandiose show, the likes of which had never been seen before, at the Imperial Bolshoi Theatre in St Petersburg, Russia. It was first choreographed by Marius Petipa, and enjoyed wide popularity until the Soviet era when it was considered “ideologically immature” and dropped from the ballet repertoire and almost forgotten. In 2000 Pierre Lacotte was exclusively commissioned by the Bolshoi Theatre to resurrect Petipa’s mighty Egyptian fresco and he successfully succeeded in giving new Nannup calling T HERE’S just five weeks to the Nannup Music Festival.

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 dreams of Aspicia, the pharaoh’s daughter.

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.

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. 4 Central Ave, Maylands $649,000—$679,000 Jen Jones 0415 662 622 Beaufort Realty 9227 0887 OPSM 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!

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 is Weber® ad in to receiv Summit. ea cov 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 WKHÀUVWVHDUVWDWLRQVWHDN,HYHUWDVWHG,WKDVOHIWDQ indelible impression on my mind. That’s why when I look at all the expensive gas barbecues available, this one is still my favourite.
