Don’t you worry about that! by DAVID BELL PREMIER Colin Barnett is refusing to rule out voteweighting as part of his decision to merge the cities of Perth and Vincent. The move—likened to a “Bjelke-Petersen Queenslandstyle gerrymander”—would effectively give voters in the existing City of Perth more voting power than people now in Vincent. “Vincent residents are not second-class citizens,” says a furious Vincent mayor John Carey, who’d pushed hard for a Perth-Vincent merger. “Whatever side of the debate you’re on—you might support a split from Vincent, you might support Vincent as is—surely everyone agrees on one basic principle, and that is every ratepayer should enjoy the same rights as their neighbour.” The premier told the ABC early in the week, “you would not want residential voters to be able to control the CBD”. One option would be to By J oh ! WALKERS WANTED • Colin arnett—su ering im erial delusion . give Perth CBD businesses more voting power than residents in the enlarged capital’s suburbs. This would also likely lead to a city council more focussed on CBD concerns and less on the issues affecting its new hinterlands, such as Leederville, Highgate and North Perth. To effect the merger the premier proposes a “City of Perth Act”. Mr Carey says the move means the government can bypass the Dadour Amendment, which would have allowed Vincent residents the option of vetoing a merger. “It’s groundhog day, we’re back to square one,” he sighed. “We’re back to at last another year of trying to get the best deal for residents, and it’s an uncertain future with a premier that won’t rule out vote-weighting, which disadvantages Vincent.” Former Vincent councillor Ian Ker, who challenged the mergers in court, suspects the City of Perth Act is because Mr Barnett is fearful “the supreme court will declare the whole process invalid”. “He will put a BjelkePetersen Queensland-style gerrymander in place to disenfranchise the people of Vincent.” Mr Ker holds out hope the bill will be opposed in parliament, “and he has already had a defeat in the upper house on forced amalgamations”. He says “it is time to remind Eleni Evangel, MLA for Perth, that her electorate includes the City of Vincent as well as the City of Perth. “It is time to remind her that two-thirds of her electors are Vincent residents. “The people of Vincent will not forgive her at the 2017 election if she doesn’t vote against Barnett’s latest denial of democracy, or better still persuade him to give up his latest imperial delusion.” who attended three public rallies and signed petitions to remain in Stirling,” Mr Collins, a former Stirling councillor, says. “We now know Michael Sutherland does not have the influence within his own party, or with the premier, that the electors of Mt Lawley deserve. I am surprised the WA Liberal Party hasn’t learnt from Victoria and Queensland where similar local government boundary shifting led to the defeat of both state governments.” Mr Sutherland says he did everything he could to keep Mt Lawley in Stirling, “but now the decision has been made we have to go with it”. “The heritage protection that applies to parts of Mt Lawley and Inglewood will continue to be respected by the new city of Bayswater council, who have adapted the same heritage guidelines as those in Stirling.” But the Mount Lawley Society remains convinced heritage will suffer “Stirling has enshrined the heritage protection area concept for Mount Lawley, Menora and Inglewood in its local planning scheme,” says MLS president Bruce Wooldridge. “New development must also conform to character retention guidelines. This would significantly diminish if Bayswater’s current system were to be applied.” Stirling city council is also unhappy it spent 59,000 fighting the merger and Cr Terry Tyzack now wants it to explore legal options. Bayswater mayor Sylvan Albert is one of the few WA council leaders who’s happy—his council gets to annex Bassendean and juicy parts of Stirling and Swan. “We believe that the boundary changes taking place represent a good outcome for the communities involved and will result in the city of Bayswater becoming an even more sustainable, effective and customer focussed local government,” he says.

Merger sparks Lib feud WIN! by STEPHEN POLLOCK LIBERAL MP Michael Sutherland is in the sights of local party members aghast at confirmation that some of Mt Lawley is to shift from Stirling to Bayswater city council. Former Liberal Party branch president Paul Collins claims Mr Sutherland didn’t fight the move hard enough because his wife Michelle is a Bayswater councillor, and that despite being Speaker, he has no influence with the premier. “Whilst other Liberal party members across the metro area were • Michael utherland— failed constituents . influential resulting in positive outcomes for their constituents, Michael Sutherland, compromised by his own wife’s election on to Bayswater council, failed his thousands of constituents Fremantle’s ved tradition! most lo 4 1 0 2 t e e l F e h t Blessing of Check out this weekend’s competition page for details on how you can win one of 3 Double Passes to Joe Louis Walker at the Fly by Night on Thursday 6th November VALUED AT $107 EACH SIMPLY SEARCH ‘PERTH VOICE DINING’ FOR OVER 150 RESTAURANT REVIEWS FROM YOUR LOCAL AREA Find the Fake Ad & win a chance for a feast for two at See comps page for details ber Sunday 26 Octo a, Fremantle ic il as St Patrick’s B mmunion in honour of Mass and co D’Orlando Our Lady of Capo the Most leb mass ce rated by shop Emeritus 9.45am Solemn ibi ch ey Ar Reverend B.J Hick r n Consul, and othe of Perth.

Big b ill f or DAP s by STEPHEN POLLOCK COLIN BARNETT’S controversial local development assessment panels racked up $405,500 in members’ sitting fees last financial year. The DAPs are unpopular with many WA councils, which view them as an expensive layer of bureaucracy that strips elected councillors of decision-making power on major planning decisions. The panels consist of five members: two are drawn from the local council but three are appointed by the government, and often do not live in the area they make decisions about. “This could possibly result in development that negatively impacts the heritage, character and amenity of residential areas that are valued by their community,” Bayswater mayor Sylvan Albert says. “The DAP process does add another layer in the development application process, resulting in additional application fees, resources and processing time. “The city needs to be convinced whether the DAP process has been cost effective and a beneficial addition to councils and their communities.” DAP members are well paid for their time, especially the chairs. Stirling councillors Terry Tyzack, Rod Willox and Giovanni Italiano have been paid $6800, $5200 and $5200 respectively—far above what they receive as councillors. Mayor Italiano notes a mandatory review of DAPs after two years—required by law— had not occurred. “It is our view that a review should take place as soon as practicable in order to determine the viability and value offered to the community by DAPs,” he says. Meanwhile, the government has moved to make it even easier for developers to bypass councils. The development value threshold for opting to have an application determined by a DAP rather than a council has lowered from 3m to 2m. ff the leash at Veryard by DAVID BELL DOZENS of dog walkers breaking the law every day can now walk their pooches on Charles eryard Reserve in North Perth, without worrying about ending up in the slammer. A dog walker who fronted the Vincent council meeting imploring it to make the practise legal said “we are good people [but] what we do at Charles eryard every day breaks the law”. She said the law needed to change to be in line with common sense: “I’m stressed looking over my shoulder for a ranger.” It was a contentious issue for the neighbourhood: 101 • Raring to go. were in support and 75 opposed, concerned about dogs chasing kids and elderly people, or weeing on play equipment. Percentage-wise, more people responded to consultation on the dog issue than on the new town planning scheme. With adjacent Smith Lake still offering a leashonly zone, it was decided to free the pooches on Charles eryard.

Photo by Matthew Dwyer by DAVID BELL YOUNG architects, urban planners and hobby historians are banding together to campaign for the old Savoy Hotel to be reopened. Now 100 years old, the federation free classical building was designed by famed architect John Talbot Hobbs, a Great War officer known for anachronistic kindness towards his men in an era of callous commanders. On its opening the hotel was the talk of the town. Newspapers wrote articles about gatherings there, describing every last detail down to the colour of ladies’ frocks. In 1916 the grand building was described as “The Ritz of Australia”. But in the late 1980s the place was closed, and in 2009 it was sold to a Singaporean investment firm. For years its reopening has looked like a forlorn hope, with the assumption being the owners could make more money from just having the ground floor occupied by a shoestore than they’d make with an entire fivestorey hotel. Only in recent weeks have owners Starhill Global Reit contacted Perth city council to start early investigations into reopening the building. But it’ll be an expensive project if they go ahead, with a battle between modern building codes and a century-old structure. Recently-elected Perth councillor Reece Harley has been looking into getting it reopened for about four years now. He says it’s “one of the most beautiful buildings but sadly it’s been empty above ground floor for four decades”. The folk from the Perth Urbanist town planning ideas collective are leading the campaign to encourage Starhill to restore the building to a grand old-timey boutique hotel. Stewart Doran says they want to encourage the owners to spend the full amount to make it grand again and not go for the budget option. Cheap hotels spend about $200,000 a room. The Savoy could take 450,000 to restore it to full grandeur. While heritage buildings have often been the domain of greybeards, the average age of the group hovers somewhere in the Xbox generation. “There is a groundswell of support for the Savoy Hotel to be brought back to life, particularly from a generation of younger Perth people who respect and admire our city’s history,” Cr Harley says. Urbanist Matt Rogers says it feels like they’ve “got a nostalgia for something they never really experienced. “We tend to make a lot of glass and steel buildings [today] that don’t have that emotional component.” To show the owners that Perth has a lot of love for this building, they’re hoping people contribute memories and histories of the hotel, along with ideas for its future. Once it’s compiled, they’ll send it off to Singapore and implore the owners to get underway. Federal Perth Labor MP Alannah MacTiernan recalls working in the bar slinging beers back in the 70s and says it would be fantastic to see it reopen “I used to work there... it was in the days when bar staff were barmaids,” she says. “Back in the early 1970s, members of the vice squad used to come in and drink ponies.” The smaller pony beer glasses— 140ml—didn’t go warm before you could drink them like a larger schooner. “It had a city crowd that drank there, and my recollection was that in the bar it was mainly a male preserve and there were a lot of coppers and a lot of excoppers. “Back in the 1970s it wasn’t genteel, it was still very much used as a hotel and in fact a lot of country people had been coming there for generations.” Cr Harley says “I’m looking forward to the days when the people of Perth will once again be able to use the line I’ll meet you at the Savoy’”.

The almost-intact number 16 Brookman scored $21,030 for restorations from the WA government’s heritage grants program, while number 28 gets $100,000 to restore the original facade and remove “intrusive render”. One step backwards for the precinct: a rogue renovator is painting his heritage-listed house an incongruous white, putting it in stark contrast to the rest of the neighbourhood. The Voice understands Vincent council’s been onto him about not painting over his historic frontage without approval. The area is a one-of-a-kind example of affordable housing from the 19th century and it’s all protected. Last week we reported the new owner of No. 4 Brookman had started restoration, after the previous owner was fined 9000 for letting it fall apart. S p orts f ees set to j um p by DAVID BELL FEES for juniors playing sports on Vincent ovals are likely to be reinstated. Back when communist Jack Marks was mayor, Vincent council slashed juniors’ fees and then abolished them altogether. But now clubs are growing, the ovals are getting overused and it’s costly to maintain them. The effects of 314 pairs of junior soccer boots and all those studs leave fields muddied and bare. Then 4500 beastly rugby players leave footprints like little dinosaurs. Cricket players don’t really affect much because there’s a grand total of 22 in the town and, well, it’s not really a sport, is it. Many clubs have huge contingents of non-resident members, meaning they don’t even pay for turf restoration via their rates. Mayor John Carey says “there are some clubs operating with very minimal City of Vincent resident participation at ratepayer cost,” with the WA junior rugby playing on Britannia Reserve being a prominent example. “Ratepayers should not have to shoulder the cost of damage to that oval.” Staff initially planned to only charge clubs whose membership of Vincent folk was less than half. Each member would then have to pay 5 a season, amounting to an extra $30,000 a year in revenue. Cr James Peart points out that’s a little unfair as it punishes Vincent kids who play sports that aren’t popular locally. Instead, the council will investigate how it can charge only the out-of-towners. Bridge land demand BAYSWATER city council wants Main Roads to cough up $190,000 to compensate for land it took to construct the new Seventh Avenue bridge. Councillors authorised the city’s C O to make a claim for 215sqm of land lost during road widening. The council also voted not to give up a 357sqm parcel on arratt Road to Main Roads. Mayor Sylvan Albert says the land includes green space and parkland: “These discussions have been ongoing since we received the bridge plans from Main Roads. “It has taken a while, but now we have reached a decision on the level of compensation we want for the Seventh Avenue lot.” Main Roads’ Dean Roberts says discussions are confidential.

Locals want crossings at the intersections of Wood Street, and Third and Central Avenues. Janelle Marshall, 43, was partially paralysed and suffered brain damage after a car accident when she was nine. Now confined to a gopher, it’s difficult to travel from her house on Third Avenue to the chemist on the other side of Beaufort Street: “A few years ago a truck driver, on his mobile phone, came out a side street and drove into me while I was crossing Beaufort Street,” she says “He dragged me along the road and did a fair bit of damage to my gopher. “There are a lot of old people who need to cross the road to go to the chemist and the IGA, but the only pedestrian crossing is miles away, up at Ninth Avenue.” Margaret Thompson, who helped Janelle organise the petition, says there have been several accidents and countless near misses involving pedestrians over the years. “The physio, chemist and the medical surgery are all places elderly people visit regularly,” she says. “We really need a pedestrian crossing there to make it safer.” Stirling city council manager Paul Giamov says safety has improved at the three intersections, including a school crossing at Third Avenue, a E: [email protected] ATTENTION TRADIES THIS SPACE COULD BE YOURS!

He says facilities “meet all required standards and provide sufficient opportunities for pedestrians to cross the road safely”. “In fact, the facilities in place along Beaufort Street could be considered safer than many in comparable metropolitan locations.” Mr Giamov says the council will examine whether speed should be reduced. Maylands Labor MP Lisa Baker says locals have been lobbying for improved safety for years. “I have submitted multiple petitions on behalf of the community on this issue in the past five years, so clearly more can be done to improve the liveability and safety of this area. “The City of Stirling is proactive in moving to improve pedestrian safety on Beaufort Street by undertaking traffic calming measures, and I support them fully in approaching the state government for assistance on this issue. “If we want to improve the vibrancy of the Inglewood shopping strip, we need to look at providing further infrastructure to link safe pedestrian zones.” MT HAWTHORN PRIMARY WE’VE JUST INSTALLED TWO ROAD SAFETY RADAR SIGNS ALONG SCARBOROUGH BEACH ROAD NEAR BUSY MT HAWTHORN PRIMARY SCHOOL The permanent signs are intended to remind motorists to drive within the 40km/hr limit in school zones. The signs will operate Monday to Friday during peak school hours. The signs will display current speeds of passing motorists, plus road safety messages, such as: TOO FAST, SLOW DOWN.

Residents living in Shalford Street 150m behind the station have lost patience with Transpacific Cleanaway, which manages the plant. Lead petitioner evin Buckley wants a 5m concrete wall built at the rear of the site to block noises and smells. “When the wind carries the smell it’s like putting a bin beside your bedroom window,” he says. “These problems have been on-going for years for a while it got better and the rear doors were closed on the facility, but recently new management has taken over and the doors have been left open causing the smell to drift over. “The lease on the plant is up for renewal soon and I want Bayswater council to put strict conditions on any new agreement.” Transpacific manager Paul Tomkinson says it erected a 2.1m high fence to address residents’ concerns. “I can assure you that not only do we operate within all prescribed limits for noise and odour, we also go above and beyond to ensure we minimise impacts for nearby residents,” he says. “Just as we have in the past, we are confident that we will continue to meet all licensing requirements and will continue to cooperate with all parties to ensure any concerns are appropriately addressed. “We have been managing recyclables and waste from the site for approximately • a swater waste transfer station—too smell for some. Photo by Matthew Dwyer 25 years and work closely with council.” Local Labor MP Lisa Baker wants strict conditions put on any new lease. “In the past two years, agreements Cleanaway took on to keep rear doors closed and loading to the front of the premises have dropped off, and residents have noticed an increase in uncomfortable noise,” she says. “In my opinion, the residents’ requests are reasonable, and would not unnecessarily curtail the facility’s operation. “The environment minister has acknowledged complaints of noise and smell coming from the facilities, but as yet has failed to act to enforce Cleanaway’s licence regulations which stipulate that noise and smell should not affect the comfort of people offsite.” The issue will come before council later this month. • Homeless Connect volunteers sort through donations and the re looking for more.

The meeting will commence at 6.00pm in the City of Vincent Administration & Civic Centre, 244 Vincent Street (corner of Loftus Street), Leederville. Bring out your goods by STEPHEN POLLOCK VOLUNTEERING WA is looking for food and clothing to give to the homeless. Every year the organisation holds Homeless Connect, a community event where the homeless can pick up free food, clothing and goods. The event also offers pro bono services, including health and dental checks, accommodation assistance and legal counselling. Homeless Connect manager Marija Jelavic says they don’t have enough food, nor clothes for women and children. “We need people to donate canned foods, packs of cereals—basically any food that’s non-perishable,” she says. “Food is the most popular items in our donations shop. “We need children’s and women’s clothes as well—unfortunately we get more and more families attending the event every year.” The first Homeless Connect in 2007 was attended by around 300 people last year 900 came along. “The lack of affordable housing is pushing a lot of people onto the streets,” Ms Jelavic says. “Sadly we get a lot of families coming in who are on the bread line.” In preparation for this year’s event, around 370 volunteers have been sifting through piles of donated goods in the Old Perth Gas Works on Wellington Street. On the day, volunteers “buddy” with homeless people and help them choose donated items and free services. Morning tea and lunch is provided. Donations can be dropped off at 339 Wellington Street on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays until October 30. Homeless Connect will be held midNovember.

Nahan review worries cultural centre Fears over language cut by STEPHEN POLLOCK A NOT-FOR-PROFIT organisation teaching Italian to 22,215 students in WA schools is worried a WA government review could jeopardise its language program. For 35 years the Italo-Australian Welfare & Cultural Centre has been teaching italian in WA schools. It now employs teachers in 81 schools, including Kyilla primary (North Perth), Our Lady’s Assumption (Dianella) and Noranda primary. WA multicultural interests minister Mike Nahan says his review into community language programs will include “principles of reallocation”. IAWCC director Sarina Sirna is concerned: “Any cuts would be absolutely detrimental to the survival of our program,” she says. “We have been informed that the review report is now with the minister, but we are very worried about cuts to our program, which has been running since 1978. “ ssentially, we offer the classes free-of-charge to schools and students throughout WA.” The IAWCC receives from the Barnett government $65 for every student in WA government and after-hour classes, and $35 per student attending Catholic and private schools. The vast majority of its students (20,474) are in Catholic and private schools. “The $35 state government portion has not increased since 1992, in comparison with other states that may contribute up to $190 per capita annually,” Ms Sirna notes. Dr Nahan’s spokesperson Graham Mason says “A review has recently been presented to the minister” but “no decision has been made on funding levels”. Labor MP Rita Saffioti says the government needs to do better to keep stakeholders informed. The language program also receives funding from the federal and Italian governments. S teer clear f rom snak es and th at goes f or your dog too by STEPHEN POLLOCK AS summer beckons, Stirling city council is warning people not to attempt to catch or kill snakes. Rangers are busy erecting “snakes on this reserve” signs, before they emerge from hibernation in search of food and a mate. Stirling parks manager Ian Hunter says residents should be like Indiana Jones and stay clear, especially of dugites and tiger snakes. “The majority of snake bites occur when people or pets try to aggravate, catch or kill the snake,” he says. “Dog owners need to be particularly careful that their pets are kept on a leash in areas where native snakes are likely to be active. “This greatly avoids the potential for contact between the animals.” Mr Hunter adds that residents can reduce the risk of snakes entering their garden by ensuring they are free of tall weeds, rubbish, building materials, and uneaten pet food that attract mice. “We would advise anyone who is concerned about a snake on their property to contact the city of Stirling department of parks and wildlife, and not to attempt to catch or kill the snake,” he says. Native snakes are protected under the Wildlife Conservation Act and may be killed only if you are feeling “immediately threatened”. Most snakes sighted in public parks and other areas are often only passing through. Native Wildlife in Forrest Place Celebrate sustainable communities in the &Gardening Plants heart of the city.

Photo by Matthew Dwyer by DAVID BELL BACK when he was a private citizen trying to get the Beaufort Street Festival off the ground, John Carey says he walked into incent city council and staff told him “you won’t be able to do it”. Shortly after, a suspicious councillor walked the streets trying to find out who exactly these Beaufort Street Network young turks were. Four-odd years later, David Doy is the guy the council brought in to make things easier for town centre groups to get things off the ground with a “facilitate, not regulate” attitude. “People are always looking to improve their area, and rather than complicating it, 9430 7727 it’s how can do we do this ’” he says. Called a “place manager”, he’s partresearcher, part-fixer, and solves little problems for traders or locals living around the town centres. When restaurants complain of red tape on alfresco laws, he gets the council to slash it. When he sees incent has a clumsy busker licence system but no buskers, he gets it scrapped. When Bayswater umms and ahhs over new markets, he pounces, to let them set up in Mount Hawthorn. He’s also helped set up trader and residents’ groups for town centres that don’t already have them eg, North Perth Local and the Mount Hawthorn Hub , providing an avenue for locals to get involved in their community. That town centre group model’s now being copied in Stirling and ictoria Park.

Rough timbers, designerrusted metal screens shielding punters from foot traffic on James Street, and colourful murals feature at Lot Twenty, just down from PICA. The heritage-listed building was police stables, and the bar/cafe has all the hallmarks of Perth’s increasingly sophisticated dining scene, thanks to owners Andrew McIntrye (Five Bar, Mt Lawley) and Gary Beadle.

A sip of my mate’s and I regretted my tamer choice of Catalonian sparkly ($8), even if it was beautifully crisp and dry. We were heading to the Blue Room Theatre so time was short, but Lot Twenty is as happy to accommodate those who want to linger as those on a on a tight schedule. I’d eaten here before, sharing the garden fresh grazing plate ($30), with its mix of pumpkin and honey dip, local hand-crafted cheeses, pickled vegetable and delicious mini tarts. There’s a carnivore’s version with duck pastrami, morcilla (blood sausage), dry-cured Spanish ham, and chorizo ($35). On this occasion we shared the roast pumpkin ($15) and baby carrot salad ($14). The chunky, bakedpumpkin rounds were topped with maple syrup, goats cheese and pepitas. The people in the next booth had been “ooing” and “aahing” over the same dish, and as we tucked in we could see why. Goats cheese on anything is great, and the addition of maple syrup turned a simple dish into something very special. With ingredients sourced locally, the menu changes seasonally. “We take produce seriously… [and] would rather go with something fresh and in season,” Mr McIntyre says. Unintentional Orange was the unintentional theme to our meal and the carrot salad made it a trifecta. Smothered in boozy raisins, pine nuts, herb yoghurt and honey dressing they were crunchy and delicious. Carnivores are well catered for, with choices such as Wagyu beef ($28), lamb ribs with tamarind glaze ($20) and lightly smoked pork belly, with chestnut crumbs and cardamon and apple gel ($20). And there’s a selection of sandwiches/burgers, including the Cubano modern ($17), with pork, ham and provolone cheese. Or the amusing “you don’t make friends with salad” sarnie ($12), with its pumpkin, poached pear, radicchio, goats cheese and chilli caramel dressing. Opened just three months, I predict this hip joint will be pumping over summer.

It sums up artist Reko Rennie’s feelings on an issue close to his art. “I painted [that] because the land was stolen, pastoralists are squatters on Aboriginal land.” With WA’s 99-year pastoral leases expiring in 2015 it’s a timely reflection, and Marlbatharndu Wanggagu, or Once Upon a Time in the West (apologies to Sergio Leone) is an exploration of the untold stories of Aboriginal workers of the land. Until 1966 they were mostly unpaid: “It was tough and many worked as slaves, not paid and doing 12 to 15 hours days,” Rennie says. The image of the heroic solitary rider herding cattle is part of imagery of settlement— but the fact is the figure was most likely Aboriginal. Men and women herded cattle or were farm hands, and mission raised girls were sent north, by Native Welfare, as domestic servants. Rennie, a Kamilaroi/ Gamilaraay/Gummaroi man, spent weeks in WA’s far north ARTS JENNY D’ANGER west as part of the project. “[Camping] with one of the elders, who took me out bush to Roy Hill Station where he worked for a long time.” Rennie’s bold neon works explore issues of identity, race, law and justice, land rights and the stolen generation, from the perspective of an urban Aboriginal. He’s exhibited in Paris, Berlin, Italy, Jakarta, Shanghai and the US. Once Upon a Time in the West, a collaboration between the IBN Aboriginal Corporation and FORM Gallery, is part art/part oral history. Curator Sharmila Wood and anthropologist Andrew Dowding interviewed indigenous people from Tom Price, Paraburdoo and Karajini National Park about their time working on stations. Aboriginal workers were forced off the land once owners had to pay them: “Everyone had to move…there was no more work left,” Adrian Condon says. Now 49, as a kid he watched the men go mustering: “Then it was up to my mum and her sisters to take over the horse riding, to keep the station running. They used to love riding horses.” Claire Martin’s powerful images and portraits will also be on display. The multi-award winning Perth photographer uses her camera to focus on marginalised communities in prosperous countries such as Australia, including a recent series on people choosing a life of poverty in Nimbin’s forest communes. The third artist is US national Jetsonorama, who came to art late in life and has won a slew of awards for his massive wheat paste art graffiti, stuck to walls, silos, and just about anything large he can find around his Navajo dessert home, with flour, sugar and water. Like Rennie and Martin the African/American spent time in WA’s far north creating images from photos taken during his weeks there. Once Upon a Time in the West is on at FORM Gallery, Murray Street, Perth, November 6 to January 2015. Reko Rennie will give an art talk at the opening Thursday Nov 6, 5–6pm.

The Perth Voice, Saturday October 25, 2014 - Page 11 a voice Astrology strology A Voice competitions With Sudhir October 25 - November 1, 2014 ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20) There is a smorgasbord of different people and interests to be balanced. None of them are remotely interested in their expression being inhibited or repressed. You’ve got your work cut out for you. The Scorpio Moon somehow helps you discover a handy, hidden emotional sense. ROOFTOP MOVIES WINNERS TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20) Three planets steam into Scorpio. If you thought you were going to be able to avoid the emotional intricacies of intimacy, that dream is now over. Intensity and depth are unavoidable prerequisites to a satisfying connection. Encounter the wonders implied here - joyously. GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) Life has moved on. Though you may be trying to balance out dilemmas that were running hot last week, the truth is there are new fish to fry. The Sun has moved into Scorpio. The people around will make it clear that they prefer honesty to diplomacy. Adjust and adapt as fast as you can. CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22) With the Sun, the Moon and Venus in Scorpio, you should be feeling like all your chickens have come home to roost. Suddenly, emotion is the currency of the day. Be as fast as you can to twig to the fact that there is room to put your feelings on the table. Honesty will evoke efficiency. LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22) Lions are surprisingly more vulnerable to smaller irritants, than they are to larger foes. A honey-badger can create more havoc than a larger animal. The Sun is in Scorpio, which is definitely a potential irritant. Leo egos receive short shrift here. Be willing to be real and you’ll be fine. VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22) Events are intensifying. Vision is required to see through the forest of opposing opinions. With the Sun heading into Scorpio, it is likely that strong emotions that have been hidden, will come to the surface. This works for you. Virgo’s aren’t as demure as their reputation would have it. LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) Three planets just moved out of Libra into Scorpio. You might be feeling like all your allies have deserted you. This is an important time to let go of any rigidity that holds you in battles that are no longer serving you. Others are only too willing to remain engaged. Adjust your focus. SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21) The Sun, Venus and the Moon, all just moved into your sign. That’s a triple bonus. There’s a table laden with vitality, emotion and delight to feast upon. This is not the time to be entrenched in your cave. Get out there and share what you’ve accumulated. Saturn will keep you wise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) With a powerful posse of planets in the deep waters of Scorpio, the presence of Mars becomes your saving grace. If nothing else, Mars is adventurous and inspires exploration. This gives you the courage to open up and hear, when others are speaking their mind. Listen and be changed. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) It’s time to consider your position. Are you being steady and strong? Or is that strength slowly morphing into intransigence? Rigidity is the great Capricornian downfall. The moment it starts to creep in, the juice starts going out of whatever it is you are doing. Try something different. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Any trepidation you may be feeling can be followed through to the fact that there are now four planets in Scorpio. You can feel an encounter of some kind forming on the far horizon. Mutual respect will come from holding to your position - quietly, clearly and non-dogmatically. PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20) There are a lot of positives coming your way. The currents opened up by the movement of the Sun, Moon and Venus into Scorpio are refreshing. Emotional honesty, if somewhat confronting, definitely cleans the waters and keeps them flowing. Your job is to keep it healthily balanced. Legendary Modern Day Blues Icon Tours Australia!

Not only did Joe Louis Walker get to experience Muddy Waters’ music on tour—he got to experience his food. Walker has been a blues force since he was a 16-year-old kid playing guitar and backing the best of the best on the stages of his hometown, San Francisco. JLW could spend hours sharing celebrity stories, having recorded or performed with stars such as B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Huey Lewis, Branford Marsalis and Ike Turner. Through his friendship with guitar great Mike Bloomfield of the Butterfield Blues Band, he also rubbed elbows with musicians including Jimi Hendrix, Steve Miller, Johnny Winter, members of the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. ‘Through Michael, I met everybody,’ Walker said. Michael was the first real guitar hero. Eric Clapton was heard but not known or seen. Michael was seen, known and heard. And not just the blues. He’s the guitarist on ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ by Bob Dylan. When Bob went electric, Michael was in the band he went electric with. The house Walker shared with Bloomfield in Mill Valley was a regular stopping point for musicians such as Country Joe McDonald, former Rolling www astrospice com HOW TO ENTER FACEBOOK: Like us and leave a private message at www.facebook.com/perthvoice including the codeword VOICEWALKER, address & phone.

Traditionally celebrating the start of the fishing and crayfishing seasons, the blessing also pays homage to the two Italian communities which helped pioneer the port city’s fishing industry, migrants from Molfetta and Sicily. The blessing also includes the fun of a parade, fireworks and debutantes ball, and quiet reflection in stunning St Patrick’s basilica. Fremantle’s first official blessing was in 1948, two years after a group of fishermen led by Francesco Raimondi was stuck in port during bad weather so went to church instead. They decided to hold an annual “festa”, with a procession from the basilica to Fishing Boat Harbour where the fleet pays homage to its patron, Our Lady of Martyrs. For the first two years an image of the Madonna was carried, but in 1950 the first of the blessing’s two famous statues—the Madonna dei Martiri of Molfetta—joined the parade and was taken out to sea on the fishing boat Invincible. A second silver statue, the Madonna di Capo d’Orlando, was donated to Fremantle by the people of Capo D’Orlando in 1952 and the pair have made the trek together since 1954. The men carry the Molfettan Madonna, young women the smaller Capo d’Orlandan one. The tradition of the blessing dates back to the early 12th century, with one legend claiming a boat filled with injured and dying Crusaders returned from the Holy Land in 1188 and found a Byzantine-style icon of the Madonna and child floating on the water. They took it to a hospice in Molfetta. For generations people in Molfetta would attribute miracles to the icons they worshipped. In 1530 an image of the Madonna was said to have appeared in the sky above the town, scaring off advancing French soldiers, while a 1560 earthquake destroyed several towns in the area but Molfetta was unscathed. Earlier this month a variety show was held where this year’s Queen of the Blessing of the Fleet, Logan Briston was chosen, as were the two vessels to carry the statues, the FB Neptune and the FB St Gerard. This weekend’s activities kick off with the 66th anniversary ball on Saturday, October 25, where the debutantes who’ll carry the statue will be chosen. On Sunday the day starts at 8.30am with a mass and communion at St Patrick’s in honour of Our Lady of Capo D’Orlando. At 9.45am archbishop Barry Hickey will conduct the solemn mass, with the Italian consul and Italian priest Fr Giuseppe Tomiri watching on. The colourful procession, complete with children carrying giant rosary beads, kicks off at 2pm, and the official blessing takes place in Fishing Boat Harbour at 3.30pm. There’s a fireworks display on the Esplanade Reserve at 4.30pm before everyone heads back to the basilica. The day finishes with a fireworks display at 8pm at the harbour. Complete insurance for the maritime industry A community giant L OOKING back on John Minervini’s achievements, his son Ralph still can’t believe how much one man packed into a life. The face of the Blessing of the Fleet as president for more than 30 years, Mr Minervini played a critical role in developing WA’s rock lobster industry into one of the country’s biggest and most profitable exporters. He worked his way from carting seafood to running the Fremantle Fishermen’s Cooperative, a position he held from 1976 to 1992 when he retired. During that time he travelled extensively through Japan and the US, talking up WA’s product and forging new markets. He was also one of WA’s longest-serving JPs and the first Italian-born councillor at Fremantle where he served for 21 years. “He was a community giant,” Ralph says of his father. “As a dad, he always had a lot of time for us kids, but also for business as well.” Ralph fondly recalls the family traveling to Jurien Bay during school holidays when it coincided with the crayfishing season, one particular trip seeing 10 kids packed into a Landrover for a grueling three-hour trip. Ralph thinks that as an only child, his father was very conscious of the importance of family. “He has an extended family and cousins he was very close to, and mates became like brothers. Mr Minervini was born in Molfetta on July 17, 1932 and with his mother Angela sailed to join his father Raffaele in Australia in 1937.
