Call Marie today on 9430 7727. by BRAD JEFFERIES A KOOKABURRA came to a sad end in Bateman Wednesday, electrocuting itself on powerlines and sparking a five-hour blackout to 1800 homes. THE beach front at the old South Fremantle power station site should be fenced off to the public because it is contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals, environmentalists warn. Full story, page 9 Taxpayers’ $17m bill for ISAF by CARMELO AMALFI SOME $17 million of taxpayers’ money has been handed to the company behind the ISAF World Sailing Championships despite its failure to meet key performance benchmarks. 100% Cotton Offroad Mens Shirts Cherry Hand Made Jackets 100% Cotton Destination Moon Ladies Dresses 90% Cotton, 10% Rayon Ladies T-Shirts 90% Cotton, 10% Rayon Tin Tin T-Shirts According to a contract between the company and the federal government, ISAF had to show there were 175,000 visits to its World Village at the Esplanade Reserve in order for funds to be progressively released. “That is a benchmark we are yet to meet, we have to report back on that but we’ll hit that easily,” ISAF chief John Longley told the Herald this week, insisting the two-week regatta had been a sensational success. His confidence flies in the face of reports to the Herald from traders, who’d reported dismal sales and few visits: Some had simply walked away from their marquees in the middle of the two-week event because sales were so poor. Achieving the 175,000 visits target would mean an average of 11,000 visits to the Esplanade for each day of the 16-day regatta. Mr Longley says he’s still getting feedback from people who ran the village but acknowledges providing a firm figure to the government will be difficult as—despite visits being a key benchmark—no-one recorded how many people actually went through the site. “I can’t prove it and I’ll never be able to prove it,” he conceded. Another benchmark was to achieve 250,000 “unique visits” to the ISAF website. Mr Longley says the number is already close to 300,000. Western Australia 2011 Pty Ltd, the $2 company that ran ISAF has now received $8.5m of the Shop M70 E Shed Markets $8.6m promised by the Gillard government—including $2m that was originally earmarked for later this year—and every cent of $9m from the Barnett government. Another $3m was raised from private sponsorship. Mr Longley concedes the federal government “may be upset” if the 175,000 visitor benchmark falls short but notes it will have little chance of recouping funds as most have been spent. Any remaining will go towards future sailing events. He believes the championships may “break even” but is waiting to find out how much TV coverage there was. “In the end, the most important thing is how WA and Australia performed on a world stage running a very significant international event,” he says. “The only people who complained were those who tried to make money out of the event. “I had 1100 volunteers, every one of them had a great time except one—and he was the person the Herald quoted.” Mr Longley says he is required to submit to the WA government an interim report on the event by January 31 and a full progress report by April 30. As to criticism that the village was not well attended, he claimed it would have been packed had Fremantle council allowed ISAF to serve alcohol. “The reality is people won’t sit around listening to music unless they can drink,” he said. “If there had been alcohol, the village would have been full of people. But then Little Creatures and other pubs would have complained.” DELIVERY DRIVERS WANTED TIPPY’S famous PIZZA Plus our Great Ribs + locally created womenswear sizes 10 - 20 + hand picked artisan wares SUPER SPECIAL Tuesday & Wednesday Buy One Pizza Get Another HALF PRICE of equal or lesser value DELIVERY • DINE IN • PICK UP • WE CATER FOR ALL YOUR PARTY NEEDS 165 Hampton Road, South Fremantle Phone 9430 7525 www.tippyspizza.com.au • New Menu Available • 5pm - Late pekho wear + wares 7 wray ave fremantle tue to sat 10 - 5 www.pekho.com Western Power workers would normally just switch the power back on but because there’s a total fire ban on they had to visually inspect the line, which took about an hour. Complicating matters was a passer-by speaking little english who saw the bird get fried and who repeatedly yelled “shock! shock!” at a well-meaning local. The samaritan, assuming the woman had been shocked, called an ambulance which scooted the bewildered woman and her rescuer off to emergency. When Western Power heard its infrastructure had caused a nearfatal electric shock, it triggered a procedure that kept the line shut down another four hours. The Herald hears it’s the second time a bird has caused havoc at the line, near Adam and Dean Roads. The last victim was a magpie.

His comments are a slapback at WA transport minister Troy Buswell who recently told reporters his “advances” to the council about providing a CCTV-monitored rank had been “ignored”. Mr Dougall and mayor Brad Pettitt told the Herald while they’d welcome government dollars but don’t want the $2 million glass-box rank just opened in Northbridge ($500,000 was provided by the Perth city council). “What I have written to the minister is we don’t need…a taxi rank in that form,” Dr Pettitt says. Unlike Northbridge the South Terrace rank outside the Fremantle Markets)is not a dedicated taxi rank, Mr Dougall says. “It is adjacent to a significant heritage building and during the day it has a large amount of pedestrian traffic. [We] need to be mindful of keeping any proposal in context with the general streetscape and not just cater for a handful of hours on Friday and Saturday nights.” The council has already installed CCTV along the strip and would like that portion of the funding spent on better lights. Metropolis Nightclub director David Heaton, who has been working with council on increasing taxi numbers in the port city, is disappointed the minister’s offer wasn’t raised at any of the meetings he’s had in recent months. He says the lack of late-night taxis is a “core” issue.

In its submission to the metropolitan local government review panel, Cockburn wants: • A City of Greater Cockburn—incorporating Cockburn and everything in Kwinana north of Thomas Road • A City of Greater Fremantle—incorporating Fremantle, Melville and East Fremantle • A City of Greater Rockingham—incorporating Rockingham and the southern half of Kwinana If the suggestion was adopted it would prove to be a financial bonanza for Cockburn, delivering it the rates base of Australia’s biggest industrial area—Latitude 32 in former Hope Valley/ Wattleup—and an extra 60,000 ratepayers by 2027. Kwinana mayor Carol Adams says her town isn’t interested. “I don’t think it’s in our interest or the community’s,” she told the Herald. “I think Cockburn has had a look at the map and thought about what is in the best interest of Cockburn. “Our community made it clear in 2009 that is was not interested in amalgamating with either Cockburn or Rockingham.” Cockburn mayor Logan Howlett denies his council’s submission is inconsistent with the results of a 2009 referendum where amalgamation was overwhelmingly rejected. “It is apparent the reform process is seeking to identify options and not simply defend the status quo,” he said. “Having said that, the City of Cockburn respects the right of individual local governments to submit their own reasons for retaining their identity.” WA premier Colin Barnett is demanding fewer councils and says if they don’t do it voluntarily, he’ll force them into it.

Nedlands. Telephone. 9386.6730 Boys beaten in new year’s attack by BEN McKAY AT least three high school students suffered horrific injuries including a ruptured spleen, broken jaw and fractured eye socket at an end of year party in Palmyra. One young man had three teeth smashed and underwent emergency dental work. Another had surgery to insert metal plates in his face. The injuries occurred late on new year’s eve when a gatecrasher was ordered to leave a private party in Hammad Street of John Curtin College of the Arts students. The young man reportedly smashed a glass against a wall and was thumped by a partygoer before leaving. He is said to have quickly whipped together a gang of mates via SMS. Up to 20 turned up and in a lightning-fast but intensely savage attack descended on party-goers. Young women were also said to have been bashed. The Herald understands parents have complained to police, who are investigating whether charges can be laid. No parents or party-goers were willing to speak on the record, fearful of retribution. Alcohol was at the party— despite most participants being underage—but adults supervised the event. John Curtin principal Mitchell Mackay declined to comment.

Traders are furious with organisers’ claims the event was a huge success for Fremantle, saying it cost them thousands of dollars in lost business, let alone the lack of any extra promised trade. ISAF head John Longley has been on radio saying it was such a success it will spark more events, Mr Kailis says. “[But] for 95 per cent of Fremantle it was bad,” he said. “The salt in the wound is [his] saying it was successful and there will be more and more.” Lawyers were dragged in before the December event finished when ISAF tried to close Mews Road to all but VIP cars and sailors taking craft to the commandeered car park by the Endeavour building. The mooted closure was despite the WA government spending $500,000 on a new traffic link from Cliff Street to Mews Road. The traders had a win but were furious a second large parking area at Challenger Harbour (behind Kailis) was taken over for a giant VIP marquee, leaving customers with nowhere close to park. Disorganisation and a lack of communication before and during the event added to the anger and frustration, Mr Kailis said. FBH traders spokesman Eddy Watling says the group is reviewing what went wrong and will demand answers from organisers. “Traders have not had a very good experience with ISAF… they lost quite a bit of money,” he said. Sterile Commandeering the Esplanade Reserve for the sterile world village was a bone of contention, with a dramatic drop in foot traffic from the CBD to the harbour. Dazzled by the promise of 500,000 extra visitors, harbour restaurants stocked up and staffed up, ready to stay open late to suit European dining habits but after two nights and no customers, went back to Freo time. “They had to put staff off,” Mr Watling says. Mr Kailis said he’d initially rostered half his 120 workforce to deal with the expected volume, paying out thousands of dollars in wages. On a regular weekend customers queue up but the venue was only half-full during ISAF, he says. Fremantle Trams operator Jon Tomkins’ custom was down 59 per cent on his December average. “It had a major negative impact…I would have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars,” he said. The day after ISAF finished customers were queuing again. “[It] went straight back to normal.” Cappuccino strip restaurant manager Ivan Dzeba says Benny’s was one of a handful to do well out of the event, adding there was a bit more “vibrancy” on the strip through the event. “Though the numbers weren’t there…we had quite a few teams come in.” As spokesperson for the strip traders’ association he acknowledges the feedback has been patchy. “Some are not happy…and had a bad month because locals stayed away.” Purely Australian manager Tanja Simicevic says she did marginally better than average, but hadn’t had an expected flood of customers: “A lot of shops over-stocked for the occasion, which didn’t eventuate.” COMPOUNDING SERVICES AVAILABLE Open 8am to 8pm EVERYDAY FREE trial classes run every week at several locations across Perth.

This letter, like Khalya’s, is a plea for respect, kindness and compassion to all living things.

Sharon Kellow South Fremantle Miracle or mirage? WE now know that half-amillion visitors have sunk without trace at the recent yachting event. Or maybe they’re in Perth wondering what happened to the event that was happening there! Now is the time for reflection. There is no question that John Longley was heavy on rhetoric and light on fact in many of his evangelical speeches. Pragmatism is not his forte, oxley is (it is an old English word—it means cow dung.). The only voice in the wilderness came from a real expert in event management who questioned the figures. He commented that the most we could expect would be a total of about 20,000 competitors and support crew and possibly up to 5000 additional visitors. He was right. His report, published in The West Australian, was studiously ignored by the very people who should have listened—those members of the public service who, instead of questioning what was little more than snake oil salesmanship poured close to $20 million of public money into what is essentially a rich man’s sport. They included management within quangos such as Eventscorp, as well as federal and local government officials. In the meantime there will be a massive cover-up. It has already started with John the Evangelist using weasel words to correct his errors. He now employs the term “visitations”, not “visitors”. Convention holds that when you say “visitors” it clearly means individuals. Or did he really mean one person visiting half-a-million times? He would have been closer to the truth if he did. Did he really expect that the population of Perth was going to be increased by close to 50 per cent overnight? Did the managers Newspaper House 37-45 Cliff Street Fremantle WA 6160 PO Box 85 North Fremantle, WA 6159 Ph: 9430 7727 Fax: 9430 7726 [email protected] Publisher: The Herald Publishing Co. Pty Ltd Editor-in-chief: Andrew Smith Directors: Andrew Smith & Pip Thomson EDITORIAL who poured our money into the event really believe that? Did any one of them ask for clarification? Or were they simply caught in the headlights of bombastic bullshit? Frankly they deserve to be covered in it. Was this a case of The Peter Principle which states that people will be promoted to their level of incompetence? Looks like it. In the meantime we can expect a lot of unhappy food traders to look for a miracle. Never fear. Given the chance The Evangelist will next demonstrate how to feed half-a-million people with a few loaves of bread and a handful of fish. That will happen during his next visitation. Roger Garwood McCleery St, Beaconsfield An insult YOUR caption to the picture of concerned locals above the site of the Rocky Bay cliff collapse (Herald Rewind) was a combination of insult, ignorance and insensitivity. You insulted locals who have not only sought to protect the trees from vandals, but who over the years planted a great many of them. You are ignorant of the facts in the geotechnical report on the incident, which concluded there is negligible risk of a further collapse in the vicinity of the Rock Bay steps. And your cheap shot about Gracetown was grossly insensitive to the victims of that disaster. An apology is owed to this community, and in particular to the highly respected Ann Forma.

It is also contrary to my experience in other parts of the world, including capital cities, most of whom encourage visitors (through relaxed evening parking rules), preferring to foster the economic benefit visitors bring. Could it be that Fremantle has a serious parking problem which only draconian controls can address? Or is it part of a broader environmental strategy to discourage car use? If so, it’s having an effect on me. PD Harvey Wisbech, UK Editor ’s note: We think the technical term is “money-grubbing”.

The fact the Winthrop school enjoys the blend of many cultures but is not prepared to disregard this nation’s traditional religious beliefs for fear of creating imagined offence is very reassuring.

If you haven’t seen the 1975 cinema classic, then simply turn to page one right across the world and there we are! Following a vocal community meeting two weeks ago, the south-west of WA and in particular Busselton, has become that fictional summer resort town called Amity, which had to deal with a giant maneating great white shark. Just like the film, a string of brutal shark attacks results in a hostile local community demanding both protection and redemption from a shark considered to be responsible. Marine biologists are called in, shark hunters hired and a declaration of war is made between man and shark. The WA Fisheries Department has for years condoned the concept of shark killing, particularly for the internationally protected great white which has been listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. But that is exactly what it ordered following the recent attacks, declaring the right to catch and kill any shark identified as posing a risk to the general public. It also admitted that a problem may now exist along our coast and that a number of management strategies will need to be explored. Its concerns relate to the anecdotal increase in the shark population and the chance a few sharks may now be showing patterns of residence within popular holiday towns in our region. Is this starting to sound a bit like Amity all over again? The only difference of course would be the distance between the attacks. Having them spread from Rottnest Island to Cottesloe and of course Dunsborough leaves them with a far greater area of concern and suggest they too might need “a bigger boat”! Most of us know how the story ends and even Stephen Spielberg himself could never have predicted its iconic status. The film not only became the highest grossing of all time (until 1977), but also earned three Academy Awards for Best Film Editing, Best Original Dramatic Score and Best Sound. The true star of the show of course was that slow, penetrating two-note score played on a tuba that may go down as the most influential soundtrack ever made. Hum Hum...Hum Hum. Whenever you hear that sound you immediately experience There’s Still time Jaws of life PHIL COULTHARD is a marine biologist with the Dolphin Discovery Centre in Bunbury. Being an ocean lover, he’s aghast at the reaction to recent deaths from shark attacks and says there are alternatives to harpoonwielding posses. fear and anxiety, your pulse speeds up a little, and your mind returns to the impending doom soon to be faced should the sound continue and increase momentum. Most of us probably hear it every time we enter the ocean, some even in a swimming pool! But those who hear it loudest at the moment are the hundreds of locals living in Busselton and throughout the south-west that demand a repeat of the film, to declare war on the shark and have as many as possible destroyed. Of course the entire scenario is ridiculous. There are no rogue sharks nor resident killers stalking surfers and divers along our coast. However, the number of shark sightings certainly has increased. This poses the obvious suggestion that the population of sharks has also escalated in recent years. Scientists however overwhelmingly deny any evidence exists supporting this population increase, suggesting the increased shark sightings may be due to two factors. First, there is the obvious increase in the number of people and the time we spend in the ocean that will influence the sighting and attack rates. Secondly, the increase in shark numbers closer to our coast may in fact be a return of the great shark migration in response to the availability of a highly valued food source. An unprecedented number of whale strandings and floating carcasses along our coast over the past two years may be the first clue to the increase rate of sightings. Due to the population of humpback whales reaching their potential carrying capacity for the first time since the early 1900s, more and more are dying before they can return to their summer feeding grounds. This will definitely attract an increase in large sharks to the area. Staying with this point, the majority of sightings and fatal shark attacks not surprisingly also fall within the spring and early summer periods when whales are migrating south, close to our coastline. Throw in the increasing population of sea lions throughout the region and there you have the inevitable situation of a potential attack due to hunger and/or mistaken identity. Put simply, it is a case of someone being in a predictable place at a predictable time, not the wrong place at the wrong time as so often described. Let’s learn from this knowledge and start making better decisions on how to manage the risk of shark attack, based on science and what we know, not on fear or anger. One of the surfers in the audience during the Busselton meeting even accused the department of breaching its “duty of care” should it not reduce the number of sharks posing threats to swimmers and surfers. Shouldn’t we at the very least share the duty of care and consider other methods of management? A perfect start would be to restrict activities in likely areas of shark activity during spring and summer. Strategies to better detect or deter sharks would also be a good option, as would the introduction of automated warning systems, as proposed by WA fisheries. To start killing sharks simply to protect ourselves from attack so that we can enjoy a dive or surf in their environment is truly unacceptable and belongs on the shelves of the video store, not here in WA. *5 stars as rated in 2012 Good Universities Guide CRICOS Code: 01032F Applications are made directly to our Admissions Office in the following areas: › Accounting › Archaeology › Behavioural Science › Biology › Biomedical Science › Commerce › Communications & Media › Counselling › Economics › Education › English Literature › Environmental Science › Exercise & Sport Science › Film & Screen Production p › Finance › Outdoor Recreation › Philosophy › Physiotherapy › Politics & International Relations › Politics & Journalism › Pre-Medicine Certificate › Preventive Health › Science › Social Justice Studies › Sport & Recreation Management › Theatre Studies › Theology & Pastoral Studies › Geography › Greek Studies › Health & Physical Education › History › Human Biology › Human Resource Management › Italian Studies › Journalism & Media › Law › Management › Marketing & Public Relations › Nursing The University also offers two bridging courses: the Tertiary Enabling Program and Foundation Year. p Proposed Course for 2012 Prospective Students Office 9433 0533 or [email protected] www.nd.edu.au FREMANTLE SAILING CLUB INC.

Council staff have reported they’d discovered during a recent inspection that timber had been “cut from inside the building,” which is owned by hotelier Marylyn New. “The city’s solicitors are dealing with the matter as an offence,” council planning manager Natalie Martin Goode said in an email obtained by the Herald. According to a blog operated by Solomon Street local Lloyd Hammond, the removed timbers include a, “considerable area of…floorboards and numerous structural timbers”. “It is difficult to confirm to what extent this has happened without entering the premises,” he blogged. “If structural timbers have been removed from the wool stores—and this needs confirmation from the owners or council engineers—then we need to be careful that it does not inadvertently effect (sic) the structural integrity of the building.” An inspection of the building last year by Cr Andrew Sullivan—the chair of the powerful planning committee— had found extensive water damage. The section photographed on Mr Hammond’s blog had been exposed to the elements for years, Cr Sullivan said. “Even a timber as tough as wandoo can’t withstand the constant drenching it would have received and no doubt those boards were quite rotten and practically useless,” he mused. Cr Sullivan, an architect, says the priority should be on making the derelict building safe and watertight while the council and Ms New continue to armwrestle over the best way forward. Despite Ms New’s desire to knock the place over he believes a “mutually beneficial” solution can be found. Cr Jon Strachan—formerly the president of the Fremantle Society— wants heritage laws updated to, “include harsh penalties when an owner engages in demolition by neglect of valuable buildings”. Ms New declined to comment, telling the Herald: “I’m not speaking to you,” before hanging up. veterinary lecturer Kris Warren (above). He is teaming up with the WA environment department, Perth Zoo and Birds Australia to look at the health of three breeds—the Carnaby’s, Baudin and red-tailed cockatoos. Dr Warren describes the three-year project as crucial, with all three breeds, found mainly in WA’s south-west, facing extinction. “It is thought the average age of flocks is increasing and many birds may be past breeding age,” he said. “If this is true, then there may be a catastrophic population crash when the older birds die.” “The major threat to black cockatoos include habitat loss, competition with other species for nesting hollows and human impacts such as vehicle strikes, illegal shootings and poaching,” he said. “But we don’t know whether disease is a major factor.” The effects of climate change will also be considered. Cockies crash by BRENDAN FOSTER THREE species of black cockatoos face a “catastrophic population crash” with fears many birds are past breeding age. Murdoch University researchers are desperately trying to discover whether the rapidly diminishing flocks are fertile enough to survive. “Our research on the black cockatoo nestlings detected infections with two viruses, which in some parrot species can affect juvenile survival rates,” said Fremantle Business Improvement District Steering Group Are you a land owner, tenant or sub-tenant in the coloured areas on the map?

Mr Nalder played for South Fremantle from 1986-1992, and his since worked for 18 years as a senior executive with ANZ in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. His family has a long history in politics, with his father an MLA for Narrogin for the Nationals in the ‘80s and his grandfather, Sir Crawford Nalder, a Country Party MLA for Wagin for more than 25 years. Mr Nalder says he’s shifting from his family’s rural roots and joining the Libs because, while born and raised on a Wagin farm, he’s spent much of his life in the city. “I’ve spent most of my time in the metro area, and in the seat of Alfred Cove,” he said. FORMER WA Liberal leader Matt Birney is refusing to rule out a tilt for preselection in Alfred Cove at the 2013 state election. When asked by the Herald whether he would seek to be a candidate he replied he was not willing to make a comment yet, but pointedly did not rule the option out. “At this stage, I don’t really have any comments,” he said. “I’m not trying to be evasive, I’ve just got nothing to say at this point in time.” Alfred Cove is held by independent Janet Woollard, who wins elections thanks to heavy preference flows from Labor and Greens voters that squeak her over the line against Liberal candidates who generally win nearly half the primary vote. A boundary redistribution last year introduced solid Liberal-voting suburbs into the electorate and carved off Labor voters, making it more likely a Liberal candidate might win without going to preferences. Mr Birney—whose leadership star shone bright but was snuffed out quickly— announced in 2008 he was quitting his Kalgoorlie seat to pursue a corporate career. Dr Woollard expects the Liberals to run a strong campaign in a bid to take back the seat that she’d won off former high-flyer Doug Shave. In two subsequent elections she’s beaten off Graham Kierath and Chris Back (now a Liberal senator). “I’m running again; [the Libs] always put up strong competition,” she said. “I’m hoping the community is aware of how I help individuals, as well as my work on the education and liquor standing commission.” “I’m a conservative in the sense that I believe in the need for sound financial management, and the social aspects that come with that: that’s the basis of why I joined the party.” “I will be seeking preselection for the seat of Alfred Cove. Winning preselection is my focus at this point in time, but that said, building profile, visibility and accessibility will be a priority.” He was coy when asked about his chances running against incumbent independent Janet Woollard, but said he was aware of a recent redistribution that shifted some 2000 Liberal voters into the seat. “She obviously campaigns really well, and if I’m successful I’ve got a real big job ahead of me; you’ve got to work hard against any incumbent. “Look at my background: I’ve spent 18 years at the bank. “I’d rather talk about my own background, not against Janet—I want people to vote for me, not against her. “I believe that as a member of the Liberal Party I could make more of a contribution than a conservative on the outside.” Mr Nalder is aware of rumours that former state Liberal leader Matt Birney is hoping to make a political comeback via Alfred Cove, but says the pair has not talked. He believes preselection will be decided by late February or early March. 9:30 am General 4:30 pm Restorative 6:30 pm Beginners 6:00 9:30 4:30 6:30 am General am Beginners / Pregnancy pm Beginners pm General Wednesday: 9:30 am Beginners / Over 55 4:30 pm Intermediate 6:30 pm Beginners Thursday: 6:00 9:30 4:30 6:30 Friday: 9:30 am Beginners File am Beginners am Beginners pm General pm Beginners / General Register 20 minutes before first class Mat supplied, pls bring own large towel Fees: Casual $15 Conc. $13 1 Class P.W $95 Conc. $70 2 Classes P.W. $140 Conc. $110 3 Classes P.W. $180 Conc $140 Prana Pass Discount Card With a Prana Pass you have access to ten yoga classes over three months.

THE beach front at the old South Fremantle power station site should be fenced off to the public because it is contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals, environmentalists warn. The Alliance for a Clean Environment says the former industrial site is one of the most polluted sites in the state. It is also earmarked as the centrepiece of a marina and residential development proposed by Cockburn city council. The contaminated site is open to the public, particularly a small beach wedged between the northern groyne of Port Coogee and the groyne at the disused power station. Families camped on the beach on Boxing Day with puddles of toxic water just metres away. When the Herald visited this week beachgoers walked pets and fished off the dilapidated jetty directly in front of the station. A man swam just off the jetty while his two dogs explored the pile of rubble discarded on the north side at CY O’Connor Beach. The only obvious barrier to the site is a line of limestone boulders and dumped mattresses positioned on the Port Coogee side. Alliance spokesman Lee Bell says PCBcontaminated power transformers dumped on the waterfront will have leached into the ocean: “If they were there to begin with, they’ll still be there today,” he says. “They might be buried or are in the ponds. “PCBs are a proven carcinogen, it’s nasty stuff. PCBs have probably spread into the shorefront area and spread along the coast in either direction. I can’t think of any place in the developed world where you would have a PCB-contaminated site without a proper fence.” Most fences have been erected around the station itself, not the pools of water in Save our planet while you sleep Introducing the most comfortable, natural, healthy mattress in the world. Heveya is available exclusively from European Bedding. Environmentally friendly mattress. front of it. A Verge Energy sign warns against contact with the putrid pools of water that have formed outside the entrance leading to the cooling ponds in the station owned by Western Power. “This water may cause ill effects to humans and animals,” warns the graffitied sign, which includes images banning drinking, swimming, sailing and water and jet-skiing. At one spot where a small creek links two pools, footprints in the wet sand reveal the presence of recent barefoot visitors. The power station was opened in 1951, then the second and biggest purpose-built thermal power station in WA. It employed more than 250 workers during the 1950s. In 1985, it was closed and a clean up of contaminated soil and structures occurred after the then-State Energy Commission detected traces of PCBs in sediments. A c c o rd i n g t o We s t e r n P o w e r ’ s 2004 annual report, the remediation of contaminated soil at the site concluded in 2003-2004 following the assessment of health and environmental risks associated German Engineering Exceptional Quality Unbeatable Price with the use of transformer oil and, “the previous use of polychlorinated biphenyl in capacitors”. Western Power said: “The assessment included the review of site history, the risks of using oil and detailed site investigations on the migration of oil lost from transformers.” Cockburn planning and development chief Daniel Arndt says the cooling ponds are located within the foreshore reserve owned by Verve Energy. He says the council in February last year conducted, “some sampling of the cooling ponds in February 2010. Testing indicated there was no imminent health issue at the time”. Mr Arndt failed to specify what chemicals were found and at what levels. He says the council asked Verve to fence off the cooling ponds and erect warning signs: “City officers have visited the site and observed that due to graffiti and vandalism there are currently only three warning signs remaining and no fencing around the ponds.” The council will again write to Verve and, “request that fencing and signs be reinstated”.

Photo by Matthew Dwyer WA gets the hump by DAVID HUTCHISON I N September 1887, 300 camels and 120 Afghan drivers arrived at Fremantle on the steamer Abergeldie. This was before the opening of the inner harbour, so it must have been difficult to unload the camels at the long sea jetty that then existed. This was a speculative importation and the camels did not sell well. The Afghans, while waiting for the sales to conclude, camped at Mr Albert’s piggery on Rockingham Road; hardly an appropriate place for Muslims. When Arthur Bayley discovered gold at Coolgardie in 1892, there was an immediate demand for more camels. The firm of Throssell & Son & Steward began to trade between Perth and Southern Cross using camels. The beasts were also agisted on part of the Manning family’s large estate in what is now Cockburn; Davilak, part of this large holding survives. Later, a quarantine area for imported camels was established on that estate. During the late 1880s, Afghans and their camels were involved in transporting timber from Armadale to Fremantle. Many more camels and their drivers landed at Fremantle in the following quarter century. They provided relatively cheap and reliable transport of goods to the gold mining and pastoral areas. I have been researching their presence in Fremantle, but it appears that, once the demand for their services was established, most did not stay long in the city. I have evidence that one Afghan at least established a shop, and some became hawkers. Because boats arrived frequently with more camels and their drivers, Afghans were present almost everyday in the city throughout these years, although most were transients, going inland with the camels. For a while camel teams, in charge of Afghans, carted timber from Armadale to Fremantle. Although most of the Afghans were transient, at any time there must have been enough of them to gather for religious services. They applied for land on which to build a mosque: This was denied them. In The West Australian on April 19, 1895 there was a long and forceful letter criticising the government for not granting land and adding that “The whole principle of State aid to churches is bad, but if Government grants are to be given at all, they should be distributed impartially. Christianity has no more right to official recognition than Mahommedanism … Many of us can remember how the Mussulmans carried on their quiet unobtrusive worship in Fremantle Park, and they appealed to no one for monetary aid to enable them to worship in their own manner.” I have suggested that, if the heritage of Fremantle Park is recognised, the Muslims should be invited to erect a small memorial to their use of it.

Because the Afghans provided reliable, cheaper transport, strong opposition developed in the Goldfields, particularly in Cue, where aggressive newspaper editor FCB Vosper, founded the Anti-Asiatic League. Vosper addressed meetings in Fremantle to develop his campaign, although some Fremantle residents defended the Afghans in letters to the newspapers. Among them was another long one signed by Allah Il Allah. I have only one clue to the possible identity of this correspondent: The Inquirer newspaper reported on July 9. 1897 that “Mr J. A. Gordon, oriental interpreter, writes from Fremantle to say that he has been desired by Mullah Mirza Khan, priest to the Mahommedan community in Western Australia, to urge on the white population a more kindly opinion for his community”. I have not been able, yet, to trace Gordon in local archives. I would be interested if anyone has any information about him. Although the anti-Asiatic campaign contributed to the development of the White Australia Policy, not everyone was hostile to the Afghans. In 1911, a meeting at the Perth Mosque discussed, “the best way to show our appreciation of the kind treatment awarded to the Afghans, Mahommedans and Indians at the Perth Hospital”.

Massive Flooring SALE Sacked council worker wins payout by JENNY D’ANGER A FREMANTLE council staffer sacked after CCTV footage showed him sitting in a pub at lunchtime has won an undisclosed payout for unfair dismissal. Legal action by the Australian Services Union saw the man reinstated but he subsequently left after receiving the payout. The union says the man, who wasn’t wearing his uniform at the time, had been suffering from an ongoing illness and had clocked off for lunch to take medication and to rest. “It was Saturday and the library was closed so he sat in the air conditioning at Rosie O’Grady’s,” ASU secretary Wayne Wood told the Herald. by CARMELO AMALFI Bamboo from $85 sqm installed • LAMINATES from $39 sqm installed • BLACKBUTT from $90 sqm installed • SPOTTED GUM from $90 sqm installed Starts this Tuesday 10th-14th Jan Ph: 9414 7686 | Tues - Sat: 9.30am - 2.30pm After Hours: 0433 522 653 4/9 Merino Entrance, Cockburn Central www.selectflooring.com.au With more than 15 years experience in the timber flooring industry we offer quality, reliable and expert advice ROTTING seaweed is getting up the noses of ratepayers and joggers using the Swan River foreshore around Majestic Point. Warm and wet conditions over Christmas has brought out the worst in the river, putting off partying residents and pet lovers from East Fremantle to Applecross. The Swan River Trust has started removing seaweed from heavily affected foreshore. It removes up to 150 tonnes of seaweed every year. The weed is not toxic, but stinks when it rots. The Trust removed about 20 tonnes from Point Dundas and Waylen Bay in Applecross in early December. It had built up to about half-a-metre thick. Other clean-up areas include Matilda Bay, Freshwater Bay, Mosman Bay, Point Walter, Como and near the Nedlands jetty.Some weed control work is expected to be funded under a new WA government plan to better manage the Swan and Canning Rivers. A draft protection strategy for the Swan Canning Riverpark is out for public comment until March. The WA Greens say funding needs to be ongoing rather than be allocated to short-term projects. The WA conservation council says the river is dying. In May 2010 then-environment minister Donna Faragher boasted the government had committed “another” $3.3 million on a series of similar projects. Most went to councils and Still unwell, the man had returned to work to sign off for the day. “He didn’t have sick leave and believed he wouldn’t be paid for the rest of the day,” Mr Wood said. The man had been terminated for “gross misconduct”. Mr Wood hadn’t seen the footage but says the council never raised the issue of drinking while on duty, a disciplinary offence, at any of its discussions. The ASU believes the employer’s viewing of the pub’s CCTV footage is a breach of the Surveillance Devices Act and is considering asking police to take action. Council CEO Graeme Mackenzie says the council had responded to a written complaint from a member of the public and as part of its A lot of rot • Seaweed washed up at the jetty at Jeff Joseph reserve in Applecross • (Below) a dozer cleans up the rot piled up on the Applecross foreshore c o m m u n i t y g ro u p s .

This summer the seaweed piles are bigger than ever. Ms Faragher ’s successor, Bill Marmion, is also boasting of government achievements, announcing in December “another” $14.1 million for the Swan River Trust in 2011-2012. The funding will allow the Trust to protect wetland systems, build a third oxygenation plant on the Canning River (the same one Mrs Faragher already promised) and control erosion at 13 sites. The list of funded projects include: • foreshore revegetation at two sites in Shelley • weed and rabbit control in North Fremantle • foreshore stabilisation and weed control at Milyu reserve in South Perth • removal of Arundo donax, or giant cane, in Mosman Park The draft river strategy is available at www.swanrivertrust. wa.gov.au/trust/strategy Another New Years Resolution?

ASU claims that the council had used CCTV to “spy” on staff were “totally inaccurate and unfounded and quite frankly mischievous,” Mr Mackenzie says in an email to staff. The staffer had been sacked after “due processes”, including a disciplinary hearing which had included the ASU, Mr Mackenzie says. The CEO is unhappy the ASU has publicised the matter in a newsletter to members, saying the payout was conditional on a confidentiality clause. “It seems the ASU has used confidential information from that agreement,” he said.

Running off South Street it’s a quiet hotchpotch of new and old buildings—some small businesses fronting Hampton Road. This little gem is tucked up one end, off the beaten track but close to the action. “[You’re] tryin’, you’re tryin’ now,” Rafferty sang in his search for home and happiness. This delightful threebedroom limestone cottage has plenty to offer a wandering heart. Beautifully renovated it’s true to its heritage with ceiling roses, fire places and honeyed, Oregon pine floorboards. A rear extension offers plenty of mod cons in a comfortable open-plan kitchen/living area opening onto sheltered patio and a delightful garden. The ultra-modern kitchen is compact but there’s plenty of bench and cupboard space— and a huge five-burner stove. The rough limestone walls of the original dwelling add to the charm of the living space, enhanced by a large fireplace. The third bedroom is currently an office but could easily become a dining room, with double glass doors to the outdoors for after-dinner drinks on these warm nights. The heritage-listed outdoor loo has a ceiling rose, and there’s a shower/bath next to it where you can let silky-warm at home Are You Being Paid?

By HAYDEN GROVES Chairman REIWA Fremantle Branch A s an environmentally conscious community and in recognizing our over-reliance on the motor car to get about we are cycling, bussing, training, scooting and walking as an alternative. When seeking out a property to buy or rent, the many websites featuring properties will provide a link that scores the property’s “walkability”. Like many buzzwords that invade our daily vernacular, the “walkableness” of a particular property is already influencing those buyers prioritizing less reliance on the car. Indeed, before we used “walkable” people chose to buy or rent as close to public transport routes, as near the shops or as close to work as their budget could allow.

There ought to be plenty of local businesses and public transportation, office and retail spaces need to mingle with residences and they are places where density as opposed to sprawl prevails. Walkable suburbs boast lots of parks and public places, good foot and cycle paths and streets are grid-patterned leading to the town centre not a maddening series of culde-sacs. When you search, the web site seems to pick a random spot in the suburb and obviously, where a property is located within the suburb determines its walkableness; Arundel Street, Fremantle scores a very walkable 95 whereas Coode Street scores a car-dependent 45 for example. At a time where there is necessary encouragement for sustainable planning decisions and a move towards higher density urban village living, the walkableness of a property will become a more determining factor when making home choices.

If you are serious about security DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT! The media beats it up as if Northbridge is a war zone and makes out that to step foot into the place is like wandering into a minefield in the DMZ. But apart from a few high profile incidents I can say with all the confidence of a part-time bar fly that it’s pretty rare to run into trouble in the entertainment district. Worried about keeping your home safe and secure while you’re on holidays, at work or even in the house? The most important item in making your home safe from intruders is often overlooked when security is considered. Of course it’s your meterbox! The meterbox is like the heart of your home without power you have no lights, no cordless phone, no electricity and in some cases no security system Thieves can switch off your power at the meterbox just to see if you have an active alarm system. Don’t rely on back-up batteries - they frequently fail because the use by date has been overlooked. Thieves would much rather go elsewhere than rob your home if the meterboxes are professionally locked up by the Meterbox Man. Locking your meterbox is recommended by the Police, Western Power, Alinta Gas, RAC and all insurance companies. So for peace of mind and a safer home call the Meterbox Man. Benefits And the benefits of living there—an easy wander home from work in the city or from a few pints at the pub—means it all stacks up pretty well. If you are at all concerned AT HOME DAVID BELL about safety you’ll be glad to know 2/45 Shenton Street is very secure. Street-level entrances are fenced off and the security system (remotely accessible from the main bedroom) includes gates and a full CCTV set-up which covers doors and garage. Inside it’s a modern, bright, spacious three-bedroom, threebathroom apartment (perfect for shared living arrangements). The big drawcard for me is the large living area that opens onto the balcony that’d be perfect for a barbecue. There’s actually room to entertain here.

Photos by Matthew Dwyer by JENNY DʼANGER B • Dorothy can’t wait to turn the giant tom into a great pizza topping. EACONSFIELD’S Charlie (Carmelo) Retta has grown a 1kg monster tomato. Its oxheart seed had come from a friend and in 30 years of gardening in his Mather Road garden he grins he’s, “never grown one that big”. The rest of the crop is shaping up as bruisers too, and fed on nothing but sheep and cow poo. “I never spray them because the stuff gets into the tomatoes,” Mr Retta says. The fruits of love are destined for the salad bowl, or as a main ingredient on wife Dorothy’s pizzas, along with some of the healthy crop of basil growing nearby. Mr Retta immigrated from Naples in 1956, and ran a fish and chip shop in the now empty Sealanes cottage/shop on South Terrace (near the Douro Road roundabout) before working on cray boats in Dongara.

M ENTION you are off to do a food review and Chook staff jump out of their chairs faster than Bill Clinton unzips his fly. Before I’d even finished saying I was heading to the X-Wray Cafe for lunch, four delighted freeloaders were following me down the stairs like a giddy conga line. X-Wray, across the road from Luna SX cinema (head down Essex Street and turn left halfway down), is the kind of eatery where you find musos, poets and writers mingling with old-school Freo hippies and their pooches. In many ways it’s a microcosm of what people like to think Fremantle is all about. We plonked ourselves in the laid-back, dishevelled alfresco area that wouldn’t look out of place in rural Ubud in Bali. The capacious noshery offers up a disarmingly simple selection of breakfast options, with an elegant touch, light lunches and snacks. After dark you can choose from a pleasant tapas menu. Both David and I told the waiter we wanted the X-Wray beef burger ($16). It comes with a lean house-made patty with lettuce, tomato, caramelised onions, Swiss cheese and tomato chutney. “The burger was a few bucks more than I’d like to pay but had a couple of standouts,” the fussy youngster later said. “All the vegies were obviously fresh, the patty actually had a fair bit of meat in it (there’s an epidemic of cardboard patties around Freo lately), the homemade mayonnaise was gently tangy and the gherkin added an interesting bite to the lot.” While Belly proceeded to bore everyone with his opinions on beer I got to thinking about what actually makes a good burger. Is is the freshness of the bun or the quality of the pattie? All too often the beef is ground too finely, seasoned too early, packed too tightly or cooked too long. Ultimately, it’s the ratio of ingredients and the “juicy” factor that makes a burger a winner.

Photo by Matthew Dwyer TUE Chilli Mussels or South St Ribs with a glass of wine FFOOD BRENDAN B FOSTER amongst burgerphiles, it can certainly compete with the heavyweights of the local gourmet burger world. Matt liked the look of the BLT with some wedges on the side. For $16 you get two slices of Abhi’s sourdough toast filled with bacon, lettuce, tomato, caramelised onions, Swiss cheese and tomato chutney. So, pretty much the burger when it comes to condiments. “I couldn’t imagine aioli being difficult to put together but whoever made this one managed a perfect distribution of garlic, lemon juice and wholegrain mustard making it a lip-smacking condiment for my double-cooked, golden wedges,” Matt reported. “But it seemed during our 20-minute wait the cook had only enough time to toast one slice of bread leaving the bottom layer of my BLT better suited to a cup with a straw than a plate.” Jessica went for the rolled flatbread filled with Swiss cheese, spinach and capsicum and a trio of salads ($15). “The salads were fresh and interesting but the flatbread lacked oomph and flavour,” she said. “And the salads didn’t live up to that old Latin phrase omne trium perfectum (everything that comes in threes is perfect).” Matthew settled on fish cakes with wedges on the side ($18). “I wouldn’t have minded a bit more fish in my fish cakes, but they were one of the better ones I’ve tasted around town,” he said. Old stagers will remember with fondness the original Wray Cafe, which got booted by its landlord, requiring Greg and Sue Leaver to find new premises: They jagged this place, formerly a backpackers and before that a Croatian seafood restaurant. I think that eviction was a blessing in disguise because X-Wray (ex-Wray, geddit) is bigger and offers more than the tiny Wray ever could. I wouldn’t want to see those prices going up much more for what were fairly simple and at times flawed dishes, but all can be forgiven because there’s something about X-Wray that makes it much more than merely the sum of its parts.

Hilton 44 Hilton 45A herald arts A new spin on art ARTS BRENDAN FOSTER T HE humble tea towel is no longer merely relegated to kitchen spills. Beaconsfield 47 Beaconsfield 47A South Fremantle 50A Samson 80 Samson 80A Samson 80B Cleaning, cooking and even wiping snot off kids, this most mundane of household objects has had a role in the day-to-day life of us all. Now, in the hands of artist Virginia Cunningham (aka Jean Astbury, Naomie Hatherley and Helen Seiver) the dish cloth is reinvented. Spin Cycle, which runs at the Heathcote Gallery and Museum in Applecross from January 21 to February 26, incorporates more than 300 tea towels that have been artistically “reshaped”. Cunningham says hundreds of new, old and much-loved tea towels were donated for the project. The threesome had altered, reworked and sometimes changed their original shape to give new meaning to an object that has been overlooked as merely an icon of domesticity. “There is a such a broad spectrum to the tea towel—it has made political, cultural and social statements,” she told the Herald. “The magic of the tea towel is that it’s used for so many things other than drying dishes—people collect them as souvenirs and gifts so they have many different meanings and connections for people. “On some you could even smell the roast dinners that were cooked with them.” She said the show also gave meaning to the cyclic nature of daily rituals that often get rendered as meaningless by • Some of Virginia Cunningham’s tea towels. society. “Spin Cycle examines the production and use of the tea towel as a reflection of false values, like culture over culture, stamped on a tea towel, normalised and overlooked,” she said. “It is examined as a metaphor and symbol of culture, society and the individual.

The tea towel is a signifier of our colonial past and an icon of colonial conquest. “The exhibition reminds us to look closely at those things we take for granted, such as the endless groundhog day of daily rituals that give meaning but in themselves are meaningless.” Melville city council curator Soula Veyradier says the show will surprise and amuse. “Spin Cycle explores the relationship people have with the humble tea towel,” she says. “This tongue-in-cheek approach to a widespread cultural artefact will amuse visitors and cause them to reflect on the nature of domestic work.” The Heathcote gallery is located at Swan House, Duncraig Road in Applecross (near the playground). herald arts Bedroom-eye view Proudly Supporting the Arts ARTS DAVID BELL A BDUL-RAHMAN ABDULLAH never thought his family to be out of the norm when growing up.

It got pretty skinny. We ended up with just the sheeps’ heads, which mum refused to cook, so when he got home he found just the heads waiting in the fridge looking out at him.” It was one of those tales he’d been remembering a certain way all these years as. “the time dad went away for ages”. When his dad saw the work he filled in a few details from his side of the story: it was the trip where he contracted hepatitis and almost died, and had to spend a month laid up, recovering. Other pieces are more universal experiences, like the stegosaurus toy Abdullah’s crafted to be as big as a dog. He’d wanted the scale to be the same as when he held it as a kid to try to recapture that feeling of wonder of a little bedroom kingdom. “When you’re 5, 6, 7 years old, whatever’s happening in those four walls, that was your entire world. That was your kingdom. You were master of it,” he says. “I’ve still got all my Star Wars toys from when I was little—in no way pristine—but when you hold them in your hand you’ve got this total love for them, because they’re from a time where they meant the world to you.” Inside the Little Kingdom is at the Kurb Gallery in Northbridge as part of the Fringe World Festival 2012. 312A William Street, January 29 to February 3, 12–6pm daily. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ With a Malay mother and an Aussie father who’d converted to Islam, to young Abdullah his home life as a Perth kid seemed completely standard. But at the heart of the sculptures in his new exhibition Inside the Little Kingdom are some intriguing stories. “The lamb I built as a eulogy to a pet lamb I had when I was five or six,” he says of the sacrificial sculpture. But it wasn’t just a pet. In those days it was hard to get halal meat in Perth, so Abdullah’s dad slaughtered the family’s own. “I remember mum and dad bringing it home as a baby lamb and I loved it. And when it was killed I ate it and I loved it. Being a kid I was totally in love with that animal that underwent that progression to the dinner plate... I love food and I loved pets.” That was a pretty typical story for his family. Another of the pieces, Waiting for Dad 1979, depicts five sheeps’ heads in a freezer, their eyes staring out dumbly. “I would have been about two years’ old at the time. My dad went to India for four months on what’s called a Jamaat, where [Muslims] travel around the world meeting other Muslims... before he left he slaughtered five sheep and left them in the freezer to supply us Fremantle Herald, Saturday January 7, 2012 - Page 23 NOTICEBOARD WHAT’S ON • CLASSES • ACTIVITIES • SPIRITUAL SERVICES • SUPPORT GROUPS AA MORNING MEETING. “As Bill Sees It” Thursdays 7am St Pauls Church 162 Hampton rd Beaconsfield AL-ANON FAMILY GROUPS If someone in your family has a drinking problem, it is easy to see what it is doing to them.

Beating HI-5 Hands Down’ (Adelaide Advertiser) Hey kids! Get up to some monkey business! T HE Amazing Drumming Monkeys is an adorable variety show aimed at 2–8 year olds, (but is great entertainment for all ages). Monkey puppets Bongo & Congo play African drums, lead audiences in songs and dances, and perform magic tricks and (low-tech) special effects gags. The show also features beautiful positive messages, such as caring for our environment, and getting along with each other. The Monkeys appeal to a great range of people, places, and events. The show has cute and funny monkeys for the kids, great drumming for the adults, variety segments for all ages, and a message for the world. The monkey show is the brainchild of South Australianbased percussionists Xavier Beaubois and Troy Moore. The original idea for the monkeys came when Xavier’s daughter, Kira, laughed hysterically when Xavier used her toy monkey’s hands to play the drum. Xavier and Troy quit the bands they were in and set about developing the concept for the Amazing Drumming Monkeys and, as they say, the rest is history! Together they hope that the show will entertain and also positively influence current and future generations towards sustainability and peaceful coexistence.

Fremantle Herald, Saturday January 7, 2012 - Page 29 herald traders The beads’ knees • BEADY-EYED WITH AMBITION: Raewyn Fenwick, Ruby Talbot-Dunn and Leah Trigwell. Photos by Matthew Dwyer W HILE many of their school friends dreamed of a gap year involving Europe, Raewyn Fenwick and brother Billy Menzies decided to instead start their own business. The Bead Post opened next to Fremantle’s heritage-listed post office seven years ago. “I was 17 at the time,” Ms Fenwick says, (her brother was 24). The shop is the result of a long love affair with beads: “[I’ve] always been interested... they have a beautiful historic context.” A dab hand at whipping up funky necklaces, bracelets and TTRADERS JJENNY D’ANGER ear-rings, Ms Fenwick honed her skills as a teen making jewellery for herself, family and friends. “Lots of hours with my father’s tool box finding out what doesn’t work.” The beads come from all over the world, from Africa to South America, a host of former soviet states, even Afghanistan, both during Taliban rule and the wartorn days since. Afghani beads are Ms Fenwick’s favourite and while travelling to the highly dangerous country is not on the agenda, herald The Bead Post has a “special relationship” with its bead trader, ensuring a steady supply of antique and hand-crafted reproduction beads. A colourful hill tribe bridal outfit on display in the shop knocks for six the stereotype of black-burqua covered women. Travelling the world sourcing beads is a romantic notion but the reality is it’s expensive so the shop relies on family and friends travelling to keep their eyes peeled, and on wholesale connections. Beads vary in price from $65 to three for 5c and are as varied as resin, shell, stone, wood and semiand precious stones, including rubies, sapphires and tourmaline.

With h Sudhir January 7 – January 14, 2012 ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20) In sorting out tensions between home and career, it’s important to identify where pleasure lies. You will be able to apply your will infinitely more effectively if you are doing what you love - and with those you care about. Freedom IS responsibility. Explore it joyously. TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20) There’s a planetary tension between Jupiter, who is all for expansion and growth - and Saturn, who is all about contraction and discipline. This is affecting you. One is the accelerator. One is the brake. A car would be kaput without both. And so you would be too. Charlie in lights C HARLIE is a selfconfident 41-year-old whose smile lights up the screen in his film debut, Charlie’s Community. The South Fremantle resident, who has an intellectual disability, talks about belonging and friendship in his home town. A regular along South Freo’s cafe strip, his favourite watering hole is the Seaview and he’s a fan of Ruocco’s, Aubergine and Tasty Cafe, where his welcome is as warm as his smile. Charlie’s Community is one of 186 five-minute films showing the lives and contribution of people with an intellectual disability, part of DADAA’s Lost Generation Project. “It’s good to see people like mind MASSAGE Amazing self healing alleviates stress, back, neck, shoulder tension pain.

Stories of parents who’d ignored professional advice in the ‘50s and ‘60s to leave their newborn children at the hospital are heart-breaking, Mr Doyle says. “Mums now in their 70s talk about deciding not to leave their babies, and then the battle to find places in society for their child. Some chart the gamut of emotions, some make you weep.” There are 220,000 people with a disability in WA, not taking into account mental illness, Mr Doyle says. DADAA, (formerly Disability in the Arts, Disadvantage in the Arts) started 16 years ago as a pilot organisation linked to herald mind Artsource, using art to redefine the way people regarded people with disabilities and to allow greater access to community. “[People] are not comfortable talking about people with an intellectual disability,” Mr Doyle says. DADAA is now one of 11 key organisations Australia-wide, with an international reputation. Its film projects, including Charlie’s Community, are set to be aired on SBS TV. “[And] we’re working on getting them housed in the National Film Archive in Canberra—they have a huge social context,” Mr Doyle says.

PLEASE RESPECT OUR ADVERTISERS IN YOUR RESPONSES GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) The nearly full moon starts it’s week in Gemini. The moon charges us up with feelings. It also makes us prone to emotionality. The key to all this, is having some sense of what one’s needs are and how to take care of them. Getting pernickety won’t help. Stay expansive. CANCER (June 22 – July 22) There’s a natural tension between individualism and relationship. Life won’t let us separate one from the other. Even if you were in a cave in the Himalayas, you’d be dreaming about the ones you love. If you can’t get what you want, accept an increase in understanding instead. LEO (July 23 – Aug 22) If it’s all been getting a bit raggedy around the edges, then it’s time to put in a concerted effort to create some kind of order. If there’s no pleasure when you start doing what you do, it will turn up once you get going. Give your endeavours a chance to shine. They will. VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22) Drive with pleasure now. The seriously hard yards have been done. If you don’t play with delight, then the trickster gods will tickle and tease you until you do. The peak of the mountain is in sight. As excitement gathers, keep one foot going ahead of the other. Enjoy! LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) You have your eye on finer deeper things. It’s hard to apply your attention to mundane matters. If you get split around these two, then one or the other will spit you out. Thread the mundane and the magical together in such a way that you are whole and happy. SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21) Saturn isn’t too far away. He has nearly done his time in Libra. Scorpio is next on his list. He will be helping you to sort out what’s essential in your life and what’s not. Be one step ahead of him by beginning to ponder it now. Wisdom is required. Faux wisdom won’t do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Mercury is sparking you up with a playful mix of ideas, restlessness and communication. His job is to give you insight. His method is sometimes to lead you up the garden path, until you truly honour your own understanding. In other words, borrowed knowledge won’t do. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) The sun is shining on your mountaintop. You are standing up there with your nose into the breeze, looking down at the valleys below. There’s no moment for a mountain goat, like the moment of completion. Close a circle of endeavour, to your deep satisfaction. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Deep feelings of longing and healing are mixing in with your need for love, delight and pleasure. Venus, Neptune and Chiron are brewing up quite a cocktail. Dance in the lovely lack of reason that existence is gifting you. Life is encouraging your poetic spirit to lift off. PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20) When you feel supported, morally or practically, there is no end to what you can do. Saturn is providing you with all the spine you need to bring your vision to fruition. There is no sacrificing your love of beauty in the name of pragmatism. Communication is the key.
