CONRAD LIVERIS is shedding his suit and tie and living for a week on Perth’s streets.

He’s hoping sleeping rough will help him better understand homelessness and see where services are needed.

“It gives us an insight into the struggles for homeless people at this time of year,” he says.

“I’ll have a better understanding of the services there are and how homeless people use them.”

The 21-year-old policy analyst and student is a founding member of Street Smugglers, an advocacy group formed in 2012 by a group of friends concerned by the rise of homelessness.

Experiencing it fi rst-hand has led to some insights he hadn’t previously picked up in conversations with homeless people.

While most people probably had the air-conditioner blowing on what they fi gured was a warm summer’s night on Monday, he was shivering through the early hours of the morning at Perth foreshore, sheltered behind a fence. He eventually left and caught a couple hours’ kip in the Royal Perth Hospital emergency room, a popular spot for homeless people on cold nights.

“During the day I struggle to keep myself cool enough, at night I can’t get warm,” he says.

Mr Liveris says he also didn’t realise how diffi cult it is to pass the time while homeless: Boredom quickly sets in, and he was so weary from only getting a few hours’ sleep the night before that he found focusing on his book impossible.

“One of the other things I realised is: I can’t fathom how homeless people [transition back] to work.

“Being homeless is exhausting. There is just a general tiredness. I never really understood that as well as I did this morning.”

The homeless people he’s

STEVE FLETCHER has been inundated with calls from bee lovers following the Voice’s story on his battle with pancreatic cancer (“Stung into life’s joy,” January 11, 2014).

Steve used the therapeutic eff ects of bee-keeping to help him through a gruelling year of chemotherapy and surgery.

He wants to fi nd homes for more hives and received around 25 calls after last week’s article.

“The response has been fantastic, I visited homes in Mt Lawley, Maylands, Inglewood and Dianella,” he says.

“Right now I’m drawing up a shortlist and working out which ones are most suitable.

“Most people who contacted me are nature lovers and aware of the important role bees play in pollination.”

A global collapse of commercial bee hives means local hives are more important than ever for the pollination of fl owers and food crops.• Conrad Liveris is living on the streets for the week. Photo by David Bell

spoken to so far have been supportive of his experiment.

“They’re glad they have some support and someone’s shedding some light on it.”

While some friends were concerned for his safety, Mr Liveris says he’s never felt in danger dealing with homeless people.

With a high rate of mental illness among homeless, he says people often misinterpret confusion or frustration as aggression, but he’s yet to run into any problems.

“We’re talking about people in a really vulnerable state... generally people asking for money have been homeless for some time, their ego has been bruised quite a lot.”

He says the problem isn’t easily solved because it’s often tied up in mental illness, family breakdowns and a diffi cult road back to employment, but people passing by can have an impact on homeless people’s lives.

“I’m a really big fan of people having a conversation with homeless people,” he says. “It doesn’t seem like much, but it adds a lot.

“Otherwise, buy them a meal, or some water!”

THE opening of a highly-anticipated $6 million microbrewery in Northbridge has been pushed back to the end of March.

Owners Michael Rasheed and Michael Keiller were scheduled to open at the end of 2013, but building licence delays stopped the beer fl owing.

“There was a bit of argy-bargy getting the building licence, and we had to wait while all the necessary approvals were granted from the fi re brigade, etc,” Mr Keiller says. “So that and a few other red tape things slowed us down, but once we got the licence the building phase started and it’s bang on schedule.”

Mr Keiller says the building fi t-out should happen late February.

AFTER a 10-year struggle to try to keep them alive, Vincent council looks set to remove the ailing London Plane trees (right)in Birdwood Square.

The trees along Bulwer and Beaufort Streets are suff ering from honey fungus, which damages roots but doesn’t immediately show visible symptoms. It spreads by producing fungal roots that emerge from the soil to seek fresh victims.

Ignoring an arbori-culturalist’s advice, the council plans to plant fl ooded gums as replacements (they’re also susceptible to honey fungus).

Birdwood Square used to be swamp or, as the trendies like to call it, “wetlands”. Its high water table and water logging in wet winters means honey fungus thrives and is near-impossible

to eradicate. The council tried to stave off the infection with an “antagonistic pathogen” called Trichoderma, injecting it six times over the years.

Arboriculturalist Jonathan Epps advised council to chop off the top branches (known as pollarding) and continue

treating the trees but staff aren’t keen as previous eff orts were in vain. Mr Epps says if Vincent council must remove them, they should replace the sick trees with liquid ambar as they have some resistance to the disease.

However, staff ers recommended fl ooded gums as “an indigenous native tree would be more appropriate,” and it was the most prominent species prior to the European arrival.

They call it “a better option than another exotic that is possibly resistant to the honey fungus”. The report also reckons the gums will better fi t the park’s “eco-zoning”,

which is about to start replacing water-guzzling grass with more sustainable native plants.

The council doesn’t sit in January but will have a chance to weigh in on the plan over the break before staff make the fi nal call.

WITH amalgamations looming Vincent council has released its vision for key projects over the next two years.

Priorities include:• rolling out the bike network

to fi x gaps in the cycle paths and fi ght congestion;

• greening streets and verges to cool the suburb and prevent heat islands;

• a “placemaking” program with town centre managers to drive spruce ups at town centres like Mt Hawthorn, North Perth, Mt Lawley and Leederville, with new public art on the way, more trees and pedestrian-friendly measures;

• developing a heritage protection area model and rezoning parts of West Perth to protect the area’s heritage character.

Mayor John Carey says with a likely amalgamation with Perth approaching, Vincent want to get some projects locked down now.

“There has been concern from residents that we may be forgotten under the new City of Perth structure,” he says.

Mr Carey says as long as there’s a fair split of representatives (and not some gerrymandered system that benefi ts current-Perth) he’s confi dent that what’s currently in Vincent won’t be ignored.

“[But] in the transition there may be some delays, so I’m wanting to get as much as we

can done right now for the community.”

The bike plan represents one of the major projects with an estimated $600,000 pegged for the fi rst section: Connecting the east-west paths along Bulwer and Vincent Street, a route sorely underserved by public transport.

“One of the biggest complaints that Vincent gets now is traffi c congestion, and the reality is that we can’t build new public transport, that’s the jurisdiction of state government.

“But one way we can tackle the issue is actually encourage people to get on their bikes as an alternative form of transport to a car.

“The only way people are going to do that is if they feel safe on a bike and if it’s convenient.

“I would love to see that we get well underway a major corridor that connects our town centres and major recreational facilities together.”

That leg of the plan will go out to public consultation shortly.

“My main message is that this whole agenda is about creating really livable neighbourhoods,” Mr Carey says.

“This is an agenda about a bike plan that puts cyclists on their bikes, it’s a greening plan that cools our streets, it’s about looking at how we focus on pedestrian access and safer crossings, it’s the nature playgrounds that encourage kids to get away from the TV.”

Bucket listVincent’s pre-amalgamation projects

FANS of lasers and water features will be enraptured by this year’s Skyworks.

The extravaganza will include a “laser and water spectacular”, which for the fi rst time will be viewable from both Langley Park and South Perth.

Fountains will spray jets of water into the air providing a glittering backdrop for laser beams and eff ects. The 30-minute Australia Day show will feature 35,000 fi reworks and require a week to set up.

The fate of the show will be in the hands of eight men with laptops, triggering the explosions from sites along the foreshore. A crew from Foti Fireworks have been preparing for three months for the display.

Perth mayor Lisa Scaffi di says she is looking forward to another spectacular display.

“Accompanying the activities and demonstrations will be a special Australia Day hawkers’ market, bringing international fl avours to Langley Park plus the Rotary big BBQ for those who can’t resist the traditional Aussie lunch.”

Skyworks kicks off at 8pm on Australia Day and is best viewed from the South Perth foreshore.

THE New York Times’ thumbs up to Perth and mention of Mt Lawley is being read as further evidence of the need to merge Vincent with Perth.

The NYT entry for “52 places to go in 2014” describes “up-and-coming neighbourhoods like Mt Lawley and Northbridge, chockablock with cafes and vintage shops”.

Liberal Perth MP Eleni Evangel, a supporter of Vincent’s ‘one-in, all-in’ campaign, says the mention of the suburbs in the same breath shows Vincent is viewed as inner-city on the world stage.

“It validates exactly what we’re arguing in terms of the amalgamation with Vincent and Perth. It demonstrates the synergy between the two.

“Drawing that comparison between Northbridge and Mt Lawley, you only have to look around to see there’s so many similarities.”

THE Leederville Farmers Market kicks off this Sunday opposite the hotel, with everything for sale having to be produced in WA.

Organised by Sarcha Thurston and Paul Ashbolt, the markets won a resounding thumbs up at Vincent council’s last meeting of 2013, with local after local fronting the meeting to praise the plan.

Mr Ashbolt says it was encouraging to get so much support as his fi rst dabble in a farmers’ market was poorly received.

About three years ago he tried to set up at City Beach, but didn’t get a friendly reception from locals living near the school, who lodged objections with council.

“It created a great amount of disappointment,” he says, but with the markets further from homes this time and locals already extremely keen to get

Vincent mayor John Carey says “it highlights the strength of our argument that Perth is not just a CBD”.

“People come to Perth and... want to get to know these suburban villages.

“Like the Brunswick Streets and the Surry Hills; Mt Lawley, Leederville, North Perth, Mt

Hawthorn, our town centres add to the appeal of Perth.”

Ms Evangel, who formerly sat on Perth city council, says the endorsement of Northbridge is a good pat on the back for the council, which has tried hard to shed the entertainment suburb’s former reputation as a trouble hot spot.

’burbs in top 52

along he’s hoping this Sunday will be more successful.

Mr Ashbolt says one of his reasons for starting the markets is to support farmers who are hard-done by with the Coles/Woolies duopoly.

“I’m from an agricultural background, I’m very passionate about our rural sector and the raw deal they’re getting under the current food supply system, particularly smaller producers.

“This is all about providing a platform where smaller WA producers have the opportunity to sell their produce directly to the community.

“It enables them to bypass the system as it is at the moment, which is fairly mercenary and predatory.

“Our biodiversity and food security is being decimated at the moment,” he says, a side-eff ect of “two leviathans slugging it out with each other” and trying to fi nd ever-cheaper products from overseas.

“You need to go no further than the milk wars to

understand that in the process they put a lot of people out of business.

“And often it’s the best people, because the best people spend the most amount of time and money to produce a good product.

“What it does is reduces us to the lowest common denominator.

“You can cite the vegies coming in from China: The reason they sell them is they can buy them for a third of the price there, [and] we’ve got opaque labeling laws so people aren’t sure where they’re coming from.”

He’s hoping local businesses support them being there. While some may be concerned about the markets poaching business, Mr Ashbolt points to a parliamentary inquiry done over east that showed 60 per cent of marketgoers spend money at nearby shops too.

The markets run every Sunday from 7.30am to noon, 663 Newcastle Street Leederville.

Dog of a storyI JUST wanted to express my opinion towards a terrible piece of journalism I read in your newspaper (“Hot dogs can die,” Voice, January 11, 2014).

This story was completely fabricated. It was hugely exaggerated by a woman who wanted to get her name in the paper. I personally know the woman whose dog was in the photo—she told me how Katrina Montaut attacked her in Brumby’s.

Had you taken the time to get her side of the story you would know that she went in to run

a quick errand, not leave her dog in the heat for an extended period. She loves that dog, it is her world, she would never place her in danger.

The victim of this article is not the dog, it is the poor elderly woman your paper has made a mockery of. Why should the Voice believe Katrina Montaut’s story? How can you print that incriminating photo without knowing the real facts?

The Voice was not there, you’re going off hearsay by a former politician who wants to look like a hero. Doesn’t a paper with integrity get both sides of a story before putting it in the paper for all to see?

I strongly agree with the cause, as a dog owner and lover and I think this issue should be addressed but to point a fi nger

without knowing the facts is disgusting.

This poor lady is devastated and probably not wanting to leave her house because of this. It’s just not fair. She deserves a personal apology as well as a public one in your paper.

T Thornton Sent by iPhoneThe Ed says: We believe we

conveyed the story fairly. If the lady in question has an alternative point of view we’d be happy to talk to her.

ABORIGINAL activist Marianne Mackay is planning to boycott Australia Day with an open-air screening of Utopia at the Perth foreshore.

The John Pilger documentary focuses on the plight of indigenous Australians, focusing on the Northern Territory “intervention” by the Howard government in 2007.

It includes interviews with Aboriginal leaders, human-rights campaigners, academics and former PM John Howard.

Ms Mackay was one of about 200 Aborigines in the crowd outside the Lobby restaurant in Canberra in January 2012, when the Australian fl ag was burnt in protest.

Their actions led to prime minister Julia Gillard being unceremoniously bundled into a car by nervous security personnel.

Ms Mackay says will not seek council permission to hold a public screening at the foreshore.

“No, this is our sovereign land and we don’t have to ask permission to protest Invasion Day,” she says.

by JENNY DʼANGER

SWEAT dripping, heart pounding and legs aching, the man runs on and on through the dark, down the lonely country road.

“He doesn’t know why he’s running,” writer and actor Tom Davies says.

As he runs the man speculates on why he’s where he is and why he’s running.

“Has he committed a crime, lost a love—or it could be totally absurd and there’s no reason he is running at all.”

Every minute of stage time has Davies jogging in the ironically named What a Joy to be Alive—and the sweat is real.

Originally a solo performance, he hitched up with classically-trained guitarist Chris Bolton in a fusion of theatre and music that adds depth and another dimension to the show.

“The character I play gives a little dance—now there’s music in there it’s kind of exploded.

“[And] it’s a lot more fun working with music than doing solo,” he tells the Voice, adding a recent performance without Bolton and his music on stage won’t be repeated: “I felt naked.”

Bolton is a classically-trained guitarist who plays with Melbourne band Seagull.

“Chris adapted his own songs [for the show] and composed new music,” Davies says.

Davies, 37, met Bolton, 25, when introduced by director John Bolton—Chris’ dad, and they clicked.

“Coincidentally we have similar taste in music,” Davies says.

“[He’s] not only a good musician, but theatrically talented in terms of how to structure a piece, how to make the music work.”

What a Joy to be Alive is a one of a number of shows at the Blue Room for the Perth Fringe Festival.

“Pilger is an award-winning fi lm-maker and has been making documentaries about our people for the past 30 years.

“It’s important people get to see this.”

Ms Mackay adds she is also planning a cultural march through the city on Australia Day, which will include music, performance and arts.

The march will start in Supreme Court Gardens, where NAIDOC will hold its annual Survival Perth concert.

But Ms MacKay says there has been a schism between herself and NAIDOC, as its annual awards ceremony is sponsored by mining companies.

“NAIDOC have accused me of trying to divide our people and not bring them together,” she says.

“But if it wasn’t for me and my supporters, we would have been shafted on the native title deal—we got the word out there.

“I have no time for some NAIDOC members, they made disrespectful comments about me at a national forum.”

Ms Mackay, a former chairperson of Deaths in Custody WA, is hoping to get around 100 people for her cultural day march.

Fringe festivals are a chance for upcoming performers, playwrights and musicians to showcase their often off -beat off erings.

In a case of life emulating art, Where There’s Smoke (also at the Blue Room) is a play about family and dealing with loss in the wake of a devastating bush fi re while 10,000 Beers was belched from Australia’s binge-drinking sub-culture and is a black comedy about extreme drinking and consequences.

Also in the news and on stage

is WA’s obsessional fear of sharks with local playwright and WAAPA graduate Will O’Mahony’s Great White using sharks and fear as a metaphor for growing up.

The Perth Fringe Festival kicks off January 24 for four weeks.

For details of what’s on at the Blue Room click onto the theatre’s Summer Nights 2014 program.

Or check out the full Fringe program at www.fringeworld.com.au where you’ll fi nd a swag of shows without the big ticket price of mainstream theatre, and quite a few free ones.

THE leather dyeing vats of Fez are famous for their antiquity—and their smell.

The guano used in the process is so potent that guides hand out sprigs of mint to off set the pong.

My lunch companion was in Morocco last year and reminiscences were triggered by a wall-sized mural of the pits on the wall of the Fez Cafe. No smell, though: Authenticity has its limits.

Morocco is an ancient trade hub and the cafe’s menu is a convergence of infl uences from Europe, the Mediterranean, France and Northern Africa.

Having checked out the menu online I was disappointed to discover the spiced lentil, grilled vegetable dukha had disappeared, as had the seven vegetables tagine, with nuts and spices.

But the spanakopita—Greek spinach pie ($18)—restored my equilibrium with one bite.

It was delectable; the huge, round slab of pie had a crisp, fl aky pastry casing and the spinach was moist and creamy with a nice sharp cheese kick, and no hint of the bitterness more commercially made off erings can have.

For all her raving about Morocco and its food my mate went for the salmon fi llet ($26).

I was sure she’d order Moroccan spicy sausages, or the free-range chicken breast with herbs and apricot couscous and chickpea sauce ($22).

But she was happy tucking into her fi sh, perfectly cooked and sitting on bed of rich, creamy potatoes, accompanied by a tasty rocket salad.

We sat and talked so long we still had room for cake, in my case a gluten-free, almond and orange and my friend an almond and raspberry ($7).

Both were delicious, mine with a

FOODJENNY D’ANGERFFFFFFJE

pleasant citrus zing and hers sweet as a berry.

The Fez prides itself on its coff ee, a blend of fi ve varieties, made with the “right” temperature of milk to release the fl avour.

Which is why there’s a sign advising those who like their coff ee “very hot” to let them know.

Having asked for a weak black, the

hairs stood up on my arms at the fi rst sip, but once the taste buds adjusted, bitterness turned to richness and coff ee and cake made sweet music in my mouth.

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)The Leo Moon gives some respite early in the week. Aside from that, you have

your work cut out for you. By being hard-nosed, a thousand unruly emotions are released. By being overly-emotional, the temptation to be hard-nosed increases. Find middle ground as soon as possible.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)All you want is to get cosy, put your slippers on and put your feet up. Life isn’t looking like

it is about to provide for your wishes so easily. As Pluto dances with Venus, so some pretty solid existential questions arise. Do your values need a rejig? Or do you need to get back to them?

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)Opposition early in the week, pulls you out of indifference and fi res you

up. By being challenged, all that is meaningful to you gets another burst of passion. With Mercury now sailing on the high winds of Aquarius, you are likely to be full of wild ideas and willing to embrace change.

CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)Stick with what is working. There are plenty of dogfi ghts to get into if you

wish. None of them are likely to deliver satisfaction. By choosing wisely, you will get a taste of the strength that comes from being able to acknowledge difference. Don’t let yourself be homogenised.

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)The Moon lights up the early part of the week. She provokes you to follow

your heart and say no to your mind. Relationships are important. They need your heart. Not everyone is bathing in equilibrium this week, but you are. This will be of great help to those who are bewildered.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)The heat is not on you. This allows you space to consider your options. Brainstorm

as wildly as you can. By putting all sorts of options on the table, a feeling of great freedom and possibility will arise. Take advantage of Mercury’s presence in Aquarius, to extend your horizons.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)The more you work to hold the middle ground, the more others get infl amed

and you fi nd yourself in the mother of all controversies. Rather than playing innocent and going to ground, use this as an opportunity to access your rather formidable, though often unsung, strength.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)Strangely, it is often when we come to terms with the fact of our

natural limitations, that we feel the most expansive and unlimited. Discipline need not be a yoke imposed. It can be a form to be fi lled with delight. Venus is offering you delight on a tray, should you wish to take it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)Imagine your heart to be as vast as the ocean. We are all fi shes swimming around

in it. With this kind of perspective, you will be able to accept and go with the challenges that life is offering like fruit with your muesli. The key is clearly to incarnate an overarching sense of friendliness.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)Venus and Pluto are dancing around, bringing delight to diffi culty. This doesn’t

mean that you delight in diffi culty. It means that you fi nd the delight that has been buried unseen in the diffi culties you’ve been facing. Resolve what needs to be resolved, at least in your own heart.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Mercury, the planet of insight, is dancing around in Aquarius. He brings a wave of

new ideas. Somewhere along the line you will have to sort out the really good ideas, from those that are way out past the fence-line, over there on left fi eld. First, be rejuvenated by letting everything in.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Though others have a hard time imagining how you could be grounded,

you are. In this moment, others are struggling but you are laughing. Perhaps you have a better sense of what is going on than is generally realised. With a powerful worldview, diffi culties can be put in their place.
