Vote weighting? 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

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

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.

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.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Youth push to
restore old hotel
• erth rbanists tewart oran and Matt ogers want to see the grand old avo reo ened as a bouti ue hotel. 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’”.

Brookman
shaping up
by DAVID BELL
TWO steps forward for the
Brookman/Moir Street heritage
precinct: two owners in the
endangered area have been
awarded big grants to help
restore their places.
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.

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.

SIXTY-EIGHT people have
signed a petition calling
for pedestrian crossings
on dangerous sections of
Beaufort Street.
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

pedestrian crossing phase at
Central Avenue and improved
crossing points at Wood Street.
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

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.

BAYSWATER residents have
petitioned the council about smells
and noises from a waste transfer
station on Collier Road.
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.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Special Council Meeting
Notice is hereby given that, in accordance with the Local
Government Act 1995, a Special Council Meeting, will be
held on Tuesday, 28 October 2014.
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.
The purpose of this Special Council Meeting is to consider
the Final Adoption of Draft Local Planning Strategy &
Town Planning Scheme No. 2

The Agenda for the meeting will be available on the City's
website by Friday 24 October 2014.

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.

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.
Highlights from the second 100 days of
place management
Beaufort Street trees, furniture,
the Mary Street Piazza, the big artistic
pavement project, getting the art market
going;
Leederville planter boxes, new
olive trees, lighting and murals in dingy
alleyways, with new seating and bins on
the way;
North Perth has 49 plane trees on the
way allergics prepare to cower , the big
robot artwork’s been approved this week,
and new old-timey markets are on the
way for the Rosemount
Mount Hawthorn’s got new trees,
banners, entertainers and a makers’
market is on the way.

94,511.

in a brandy balloon sized glass.
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.

“T
HIS land is ours” is
emblazoned across
a rusty ute at FORM
gallery. “Always was, always
will be,” a fender says.
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.

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!
WIN ONE OF 3 DOUBLE PASSES VALUED AT $107 EACH
Powerful, Soul-Stirring, Fierce & Gritty.
A legendary Boundary-Pushing Icon Of
Modern Blues, is just one of the reviews
about Joe Louis Walker. 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

Stone Mick Taylor and bluesman John
Mayall, who wanted to jam. ‘When
everyone was in town, they’d come and pay
homage to Michael.’
Though he will turn 65 this year, JLW
shows no signs of slowing down, and this
Spring there are dozens of shows and
festivals on his tour schedule, with stops
everywhere between the West Coast of the
U.S. and Switzerland. He is well-regarded
by his fans and peers, and has picked
up Multi Blues Music Awards; he has
appeared on Grammy-winning projects
from B.B. King and James Cotton. Blues
fans can count themselves lucky that
he has recorded 25 of his own albums,
including Hornet’s Nest, his most recent
release from Chicago’s storied Alligator
Records.

ESTATE
JENNY D’ANGER
ROM the elevated timber deck
of this Menora home you can
imagine you’re in the wilds
of a sub-tropical paradise far from
civilisation.
As far as the eye can see there’s
nothing but rolling green grass and
soaring mature trees and greenery–and
sky.
Dumbarton Crescent is one of a
handful of homes in the area with a semiprivate parkland running the length of an
entire block of houses, accessible only to
the select few who reside there.
Elegant timber gates at the rear of this
home guard the entrance to this secret
garden where kids can roam freely.
This four-bedroom/two-bathroom late
art deco home offers an idyllic lifestyle
just a stone’s throw from the Walcott
Street strip with its cafes and boutique
shopping.
New jarrah floors in the modern
extension merge with the aged jarrah in
original section of a home with soaring
ceilings, soaring spaces and acres of glass.

A lush idyll
in Menora
There’s a semi-industrial edge to the
generous kitchen, with its stainless steel
shelving and soft-grey stone tops.
Golden timber fronts the many
cupboards, and for a light-bulb moment
open the double-doors of the large pantry
where the light comes on automatically.
A bank of bifold doors off the dining
family area lead to the deck and garden—

which is a stunning spot for alfresco
dining.
The original art deco bathroom has
been spruced up, its blue and white
tiles freshened to enhance its Byzantine
magnificence, with its cute alcoves over
the bath and the shower.
The biggest of the bedrooms in the
original section of the home opens onto
the deck, and with side access could be
used for an office.
Jarrah and stainless steel stairs off
the living area lead down to a stylish,
and spacious, parents’ retreat, where the
huge bedroom has french doors onto
a cute courtyard, protected by a lovely
curved, white wall, while an ornamental
plumb tree offers shade in summer—and
gorgeous blossoms in late spring.
This really is a great family home,
close to a swag of schools, including
Mt Lawley High and Edith Cowan
University.

Blessing of the Fleet
Fremantle
October 26
Freo’s big day
T
HOUSANDS are
expected to turn out this
weekend to Fremantle’s
biggest religious and civic
event of the year—the Blessing
of the Fleet.
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.

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.
He was enrolled at Christian
