SICILIAN folk group I Nebrodi has been dancing its way around the world for more than 40 years.

It’s been touring WA as part of a national tour and will wrap up in Fremantle this weekend.

Named after a mountain range in north-east Sicily, the group formed in 1968 and still includes nearly half its original members.

Performances last about an hour with members dancing to musicians playing traditional peasant songs.

The 20 performers aren’t paid but fundraise to tour the world.

They’ll perform in Kings Square at 11am and Cicerello’s on the harbour at 1pm, today, Saturday January 12, 2013.

LIBERAL candidate for Fremantle Matthew Hanssen says Fremantle city council should accept responsibility for the “dying trade in he port city” and leave property owners alone.

Last week mayor Brad Pettitt announced he wants to charge landlords double rates when their shops are left vacant for more than a year (Herald, January 5, 2013).

Dr Pettitt says landlords with vacant shopfronts—particularly in high-profi le areas—want too much rent and the penalty is an incentive for them to accept rent more in line with market expectations.

WA local government minister John Castrilli has poured cold water on the plan, suggesting the council will have trouble charging a diff erential rate on shops just

because they’re empty (see Colin Nichol’s article, page 6).

Mr Hanssen, a local sustainability consultant, says

Rates plan slamthe council, “needs to take responsibility for the state of aff airs in Fremantle”.

“There is a defi nite correlation between the current council’s policies, the failure of many businesses and the dying trade in the Fremantle CBD,” he told the Herald.

“The mayor needs to understand that property owners must get a reasonable return on their investment otherwise there is no point in owning a business premises.

“The new announcement of the rates being doubled is just sheer greed on the part of the council and serves as a reminder of the damage the Greens are doing to the Fremantle economy.”

Dr Pettitt, like some councillors a member of the Greens, says Mr Hanssen is misreading the council’s intent.

“We are not punishing business but in fact supporting

those businesses and owners that do the right thing by keeping their properties active and well used,” he told the Herald.

“We can’t have in Fremantle a small minority of landlords sitting idly on prime central Fremantle property, so they can benefi t from the Fremantle renaissance as it unfolds in coming years without contributing themselves to making Fremantle an even better place.”

Landlords that can demonstrate genuine trouble leasing their properties can apply for exemptions to the double-rates policy and the council will treat favourably landlords who engage in innovative projects such as short-term pop-up shop leases.

“We are in the process getting legal advice on the ability of the city to this diff erential rate as local governments are restricted in how we can apply diff erential rates,” he concedes.

If the double rates plan clears

the lawyers it’s almost certain to sail through council, with Crs Doug Thompson, Ingrid Waltham, Dave Coggin, Rachel Pemberton, Andrew Sullivan and Josh Wilson expressing support. Cr Sam Wainwright wouldn’t commit but says it sounds ok. Crs Bill Massie, David Hume, Tim Grey-Smith, Rob Fittock and Jon Strachan did not respond by deadline.

Cr Wilson, a Labor party member who chairs the council’s economic working group, says he doesn’t want to engage with Mr Hanssen’s “silly attack on council” and, while generally supportive, expresses some equivocation about the mayor’s plan.

“It’s certainly not helpful or community-minded when owners run dead with prominent business premises,” he says.

“But. . .I suspect it might be more symbolic than substantial—or to put it another way, more annoying than persuasive.”

FREMANTLE’S landmark Esplanade hotel has a new owner.

Marylyn New has sold the heritage-listed building to property developer Primewest for $88.5 million, two years after it went on the market.

The 300-room hotel joins Primewest’s $1.6 billion portfolio just three months after the Esplanade came back on to the market after the collapse of a $90 million deal sale to Singaporean group Ascendas.

ANDREW SULLIVAN says Labor’s plan for an ocean pool at Bather’s Beach is nothing more than an “election stunt” and won’t stop swimmers being eaten by sharks.

This week opposition leader Mark McGowan promised to build a pool between Fishing Boat Harbour and the Round House, if Labor is elected to government on March 9.

But Cr Sullivan – the local state Greens candidate and a local city councillor—says the major parties are simply trying to outbid each other in pretending to deal with the “great shark issue”.

“It worries me that ocean

of the sale.Ms New described the

Primewest sale, brokered by agents Jones Lang LaSalle, as a good outcome for WA though she reportedly had wanted as much as $120 million.

“This acquisition was gained at a price well below replacement value in keeping with our philosophy of buying well and has potential for adding value through further development of the property,” says Primewest on its website.

The company, whose directors include John Bond—son of Alan—says a series of “tasteful renovations and extensions” had resulted in a

four-star iconic international hotel in the centre of Fremantle.

Primewest intends “freshening” it up to refl ect 21st century tastes, says director David Schwartz. The Rydges Hotel group will manage the hotel.

Mr Bond says the short supply of new hotel accommodation in WA at the height of a continuing boom means Primewest’s investors are well positioned to enjoy strong future cash fl ows.

Primewest promotes a 17.6 per cent “internal rate of return” per annum to Esplanade investors. Bank deposits are off ering around 4–5 per cent.

pools seem to be suddenly the fl avour of the month,” the long-time beaches campaigner says.

“Most of the measures the politicians have grabbed for, including spotter planes, nets, kills, and ocean pools are not going to have any signifi cant impact other than to scare us humans even more.

“The experts have suggested, and I agree with them, that money should be spent on shark research and education.”

He says the pool isn’t a priority and Mr McGowan has fl uff ed it anyway by proposing to build it in the wrong place.

But Labor candidate Simone McGurk reckons the location is perfect.

“It’s close to Fishing Boat Harbour and existing amenities—we will have to

build up those amenities, but I think it’s a great idea and a great spot,” she told the Herald

“There are sharks and stingers in the water so less people are using the water.

“I think this could increase the use by school groups and people with disabilities, meaning a broader group of people will be using the ocean.”

Local architect Sam Martin, says people will use the new pool regardless of where it is built.

“People walking through the West End will commercially activate the West End, which has a been a huge problem for successive councils,” he told the Herald.

“And if we wait for the overall masterplan of the area there goes 20 years.”

by BRENDAN FOSTER

FREMANTLE city council’s blueprint for redeveloping Kings Square has been slammed by both the Fremantle Society and former deputy mayor John Dowson.

The society’s submission, prepared by former city councillor Henty Farrar, describes the Kings Square business plan as riddled with “inaccuracies” and “seriously fl awed”.

The business plan has the council teaming up with developer Sirona Capital—the owner of the soon-to-be-vacant Myer building—in a $220 million joint venture to transform Kings Square and its surrounds. The council promises cafes and restaurants, commercial and retail space, apartments, a new library and a swanky hotel.

To pay its share the council proposes selling the Queensgate building and multi-storey car park and the old Spicers site

at the corner of Queen and Henderson Street.

Society president Roel Loopers says the business plan fails to disclose the “true nature of the deal” between the council and Sirona and doesn’t outline benefi ts to ratepayers. He says it’s full of “inaccuracies, misrepresentations and errors”.

“The overall impression is that the document has been prepared by the benefi ciary of a land transaction,” he says. “There is no justifi cation presented for the sale of the city’s highest-earning property asset.

“There is no indication that the business plan as drafted has been subject to review by independent legal and commercial expert advisors.”

Mr Dowson, a former society president, submitted a revised, shorter submission after his original—which took three weeks to prepare—was lost by council staff .

He says guidelines in the plan have “serious fl aws” and fail to properly account for heritage.

“The urban design guidelines begin with a principle which states that the heritage values of the area must be maintained and complemented, but by the end of the document, it is obvious the heritage values have been in large part ignored,” he wrote.

“This has serious ramifi cations for future resulting development and how it respects the heritage of the area and builds on it rather than overwhelming or diminishing it.”

Mr Dowson accuses the council of kow-towing to developers rather than doing what is best for the “delicate heritage scales of Kings Square”.

“By not going out to public tender, council has repeated the undemocratic course of action it took with Fremantle Markets, when it decided to appoint the Murdochs as lease holders, despite hundreds of aggrieved market stall tenants and members of the public repeatedly turning up in distress at council meetings to voice their concerns.”

Kings Square plan ‘fl awed’

“We get so caught up in our own lives, it’s so important to think of others,” she says.

Ms Patzelt was born in Poland, raised in Germany and moved to Perth 10 years ago.

Now she lives in Hilton, working as a massage therapist.

She says the skydive is her

way of preparing to jump into the unknown and to empower herself before setting out on a life-changing journey in April.

“I want to experience people and the world from a raw perspective and challenge my views,” she says.

Bizarre BradIT’S the parking, stupid! Reading Fremantle mayor Brad Pettitt’s bizarre remedy of charging double rates to Fremantle shop landlords whose premises happen to be empty (Herald, January 5, 2013), I feel as a retail consumer I must respond.

I suggest Fremantle’s proliferation of empty shops is the council’s own doing and it should have a long, hard look in the mirror. Apart from Fremantle’s drab footpaths, etc, and bad lighting, the main reason for way above average shop closures is greedy Fremantle council’s parking meters.

Why should consumers pay for the privilege of spending hard-earned money when the suburbs’ parking is free? I challenge Dr Pettitt and Fremantle council to nominate a week where parking will be free.

I USED to be a regular visitor to the cappuccino strip but I hadn’t been for a while so decided to grab a bite to eat last Tuesday afternoon.

My partner and I had a beer each, a plate of very average pasta each and three slices of “fresh” bread (to share). Total cost—$78.

Add parking of $3 to take it to more than $40 a head (for pasta, a beer and not very fresh bread) and you can see why I won’t be back in a hurry. Not even Freo’s supposed high rents (Herald, January 5, 2013) can justify these prices.

John GillAtwell

Creative accountingI AM writing to voice my disappointment with Fremantle’s city council’s attitude to musicians in society.

The organiser of the second Calling All Ukuleles as part of the Fremantle Festival was once again not paid for her eff orts.

Granted, she did the fi rst for free but hoped for more than words to show council’s appreciation for the second.

Does the council look at musicians the same way we have looked at nurses and teachers—that they work for love and therefore we don’t have to give them much more than words?

John Veikerts Healy Rd, Hamilton HillThe Ed says: Steady on, John! If

the artists get paid how on earth will the council pay its increasing army of bureaucrats and marketers, whom we all know are the real reason people come to Fremantle.

Free for allI WISH to make clear that we did not seek an assurance from election candidates not to raise the Carles-Buswell aff air at the upcoming Fremantle election forum (Herald, January 5, 2013).

The candidates I have spoken to have said that they don’t intend to campaign on the issue, but none specifi cally pledged to avoid commenting on it during that evening.

We don’t tell any candidates what they can and can’t raise. I would not want anyone to gain the impression we are in the business of trying to avoid any particular issue. I look forward to an open, transparent and lively debate on the night.

Freo the FairTHANK you Fremantle for your dedicated support of fair trade this Christmas.

Whether it was through our stalls at the East Fremantle festival and Fremantle markets, or at the Oxfam shop and numerous other stockists, each and every one of your purchases made a genuine diff erence to producers in developing countries.

In a city full of talented artists, it is heart-warming to know so many locals also appreciate, and actively support, traditional artisan skills and ethical food cultivation in many other exotic corners of the globe.

WHILE Australia and Sri Lanka battled it out at the

SCG on the weekend a Sri Lankan Tamil asylum seeker on a bridging visa living in Hamilton Hill, a victim of torture, died in Fremantle Hospital after attempting suicide last Thursday.

The tragic event played out as momentum grows for an apartheid-style boycott of Sri Lankan cricket, lead by former cricket writer for The Age Trevor Grant.

On the campaign Facebook site Grant explains: “The cricket team has become a propaganda unit for the Sri Lankan Government, with players constantly telling Australian people via press conferences that all is rosy back home. The truth is that this government has committed war crimes against the Tamil people and it still continues to commit horrible crimes against them.”

This truth is leaking out, in part due to the documentary Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields made by Britain’s Channel Four and screened on the ABC.

It documents how in 2009 the forces of president Mahinda Rajapakse murdered 40,000 Tamil civilians, targeted artillery at hospitals and herded hundreds of thousands into concentration camps.

Former England Captain Mike Atherton wrote in the London Times of his doubt about touring Sri Lanka after seeing how it, “...highlighted the systematic killing, torture and sexual abuse of Tamil prisoners of war and civilians”.

How “trophy footage” of soldiers carrying out summary executions and mutilating corpses passed censors I don’t know, but it’s a reality that every Australian needs to understand.

The orgy of violence in 2009 marked neither the beginning nor the end of the misery that’s been heaped on the Tamils. Virulent anti-Tamil chauvinism became the ideological crutch of mainstream Sinhalese politics with independence in 1948.

Tamils of Indian origin were stripped of their right to vote, even though they had lived in the country for generations.

SAM WAINWRIGHT is a Fremantle city councillor, member of Socialist Alliance and a founding member of Action for

Human Rights in Tamil Eelam & Sri Lanka. In this week’s THINKING ALLOWED he outlines the case for a boycott of Australia’s sporting ties with Sri Lanka.

• At a human rights protest in Colombo protesters gather in front of a massive billboard across from the capital’s main railway station. The caption refers to president Mahinda Rajapakse shaking the

hand of “internationally respected president” Julia Gillard.Sinhalese was made the sole o cial language, even in majority Tamil areas. Tamil politicians who’d advocated a separate state were expelled from parliament. Plus the regular state-sponsored anti-Tamil riots in which thousands were killed, raped or had their houses razed. By the 1980s a generation of young Tamils abandoned peaceful protest and took up the gun.

While the government eventually crushed armed resistance, the cause of the war has not gone away. The Tamil north and east remain under military rule with one soldier for every fi ve civilians and international agencies are refused access.

Hundreds of thousands remain unaccounted for and many are prevented from returning to their homes, farms and business; living as internal refugees. The government is transplanting Sinhalese settlers into the Tamil areas in order to wipe the Tamil nation off the map. This meets the legal defi nition of genocide.

Plenty of victims come from the majority Sinhalese community too. On average one dissident per week is plucked off the streets and never seen again. Thirty-nine journalists have been murdered or “disappeared” in

the past eight years.Yet our government and

opposition claim there’s no reason for Sri Lankans to seek asylum, that they should be sent back without even testing their claims. They want to help the Sri Lankan navy to stop people from fl eeing in the fi rst place. How did such a wilfully dishonest and immoral position take hold?

Australia is not alone in turning a blind eye to Sri Lankan government human rights abuses for strategic and business reasons. But the mad mantra about “stopping the boats” has lifted it to whole new level.

Australian policy will not stop people fl eeing, but it does require us to pretend that they have no reason to fl ee. Genocide denial is the result.

That’s why we were right to protest Rajapakse at CHOGM and Julia Gillard was wrong to shake his hand. He needs to be isolated and given no credibility.

Canada will not attend CHOGM 2013 in Colombo unless the atrocities of 2009 are addressed. Australia should do the same and embrace the cricket boycott. As Grant says, “there can be no normal sport in an abnormal society”.

Only peace and freedom will stop the fl ow of refugees from Sri Lanka. Australia needs to help that cause, not undermine it.

THE announcement by Fremantle’s mayor that the city will consider charging

doubling rates for property owners who keep their city premises empty rather than decrease rents, highlights once again the troubling matter of vacant premises in the city’s central area. Fremantle’s current CBD vacancy rate stands at about 15 per cent.

It is a puzzling conundrum that while shops are still emptying at an alarming rate around Australia and many parts of the world, Perth city is reported as leading the country (even “the world”!) with a 10 per cent increase in retail trade. But this is against a shop vacancy level of 10.8 per cent, the highest of any capital city in the country. It seems those still in business may have profi ted at the expense of others, partly due to a decrease in competition.

If that trend contains a logical thread, the more shops that close, the better for those surviving. That’s a frail hypothesis and not sustainable, when put against the requirement for variety, choice and competition in any shopping precinct. It seems more obvious that the common WA syndrome is in force: too many retailers for a small population too widely dispersed or, put obliquely, too low a population density.

What also comes to light is that high concentrations of retail survive best: big is better. Along with Perth city, major shopping centres are managing well, but again at a cost to others; smaller centres and suburban traders provide

COLIN NICHOL, who has a long retail and markets history, examines the latest development regarding vacant shops in Fremantle

the counter-balance with their empty shop-fronts. Polarisation is a thread in metropolitan area retail and Sunday trading has exaggerated that. And then, turnover statistics are at best only a general guide when not all factors, increasing population and prices for instance, are factored in.

Would imposing a targeted diff erential rate cause landlords to reduce rents and tenant their shops, or is this just a distraction? If that is the stick, is there a carrot? Would council then reduce

rates if landlords complied; what if they didn’t, what if they did and still kept the doors closed—and are there tenants to be had anyway? Rewarding may be better if they reform, while forcing them to upgrade their premises.

In England, business rates are not payable on properties for the fi rst three months they are unoccupied, six in some cases, to provide an incentive to bring empty property back into use. Additionally, a business rates deferral scheme provides the option of spreading the increase in the 2012-13 bill over three years to help businesses manage cash fl ow during the downturn.

Suburban Melbourne council Moreland has introduced a local law that requires property owners or occupiers to maintain properties and

prevent them from becoming unsightly. They have a diff erential rate for vacant land and unoccupied buildings, to encourage proper management, targeted directly at landowners who allow sites to deteriorate.

What will Fremantle council decide; is its proposition possible? Last word on all this from WA local government minister John Castrilli: “If a diff erential rate is imposed, all land within that zoning or use must be rated on the same rate in the dollar, which would mean all shops within that zoning—both open and closed—would be aff ected. A distinction can only be made if the land is vacant (ie, no building is erected).”

Rating Freo’s retail• The Herald’s short-lived off shoot,

the Fremantle Rooster, was reporting on retail vacancies back in 2005.

MELVILLE city council is dumping garbage including socks, cans, plastics, dirt and logs on the historic lower Heathcote foreshore reserve.

More than a decade ago locals campaigned to save the site from subdivision, and they fear the land’s neglect since then is payback from a grumpy council, which had supported the development plans.

The land, which sits between the South of Perth yacht club and Heathcote in Applecross, is owned by the WA government but its management is vested with the council. Real estate in the area is amongst the most expensive in the country per square metre.

While the upper ridge of Heathcote has been magnifi cently transformed, the lower land sits unused, with weeds rampant and garbage piling up, and the council using it to store mounds of green waste and street sweepings.

Local Corinne O’Hehir discovered six piles there in the weeks before Christmas.

“If you look at how they’ve treated this oval over the past two years, it’s incredibly bad,” she says.

“The state of the lower oval... doesn’t look good for council.”

by BRENDAN FOSTER

A CHILD climbing a neighbour’s tree has scored a family one strike in a three-strikes-and-you’re-evicted clause in their WA housing department home.

Anna Copeland from Murdoch University’s law school cites it as one example of how last year’s change to the Residential Tenancy Act is being used in a way the Barnett minority Liberal government may not have intended when cracking down on disruptive public housing tenants.

Now, the school and the Southern Communities Advocacy Legal and Education

• Corinne O’Hehir and Janet Woollard amidst the garbage dumped on lower Heathcote.

Local MP Janet Woollard says, “this is really just a slap in the face for local residents and the wider Alfred Cove community”.

“The local community worked hard for more than 10 years to save this parkland. We had to overcome strong pressure to develop the land for high-density luxury housing.

“I think it is shameful that the land is being used as a dumping ground.”

There are now talks underway between the council, the WA government and the National Trust to develop the

site into public open space with gardens, a lake, and paths. The plan is supported by both Dr Woollard and her Liberal rival Dean Nalder.

Council acting CEO Marten Tieleman told the Herald, “at this time, the practice (dumping waste) has ceased”, but as of this week the piles were still there. He says, “on occasion road sweepings were temporarily located at the site before being removed”. He didn’t answer why the land was considered a suitable dumping ground in the fi rst place.

Heathcote dump anger

Service are joining forces to represent tenants who they fear are being hard-done by.

Ms Copeland says since the three-strikes policy’s introduction, people have been made homeless without getting a fair hearing.

“We heard the story about a child that climbed a nearby neighbour’s tree and that was considered a strike,” she told the Herald.

“We are not saying the department of housing doesn’t ever have the right to evict, but we want the people to have a fair hearing and know all the details levelled against them.

“We want to ensure the government’s disruptive behaviour management policy

for social housing operates in a fair and legal manner. At the moment this is not the case.”

She says another concern is how the department and the courts interpret “vicarious responsibility” under the Act.

“If there is a burglary in the house, the tenant gets a strike,” she says.

“A person is lawfully on the tenant’s premise if they are invited, but if a guest begins to behave in ways that are not acceptable, such as assaulting the tenant, they cease to be lawfully on the property.

“Yet the idea of vicarious responsibility is being used for anything that happens on the property—and that’s not valid in law.”

“THEY know what’s happening,” Fremantle social worker Chris Doyle says, counting down towards the WA coroner’s inquest into her sister Erin Berg’s suicide in Mexico fi ve years ago.

“The kids were very little when it happened. Their mum was sick and she got the wrong treatment. They get that, they saw it.”

Berg’s four children, now aged 12, 11, 10 and fi ve, play in the park next to the Zephyr cafe in East Fremantle. Nearby is the spot where they’d sprinkled teaspoons of their mother’s ashes into the Swan River where they’d used to play.

The rest of her ashes were stitched into a teddy bear that her former partner Norman Berg pulls out of the back seat of his car.

“She lives on their beds, they take turns having her,” Mr Berg says in his fi rst interview with the Herald since Berg, suff ering post-natal depression after the birth of their fourth child, took her own life on May 10, 2008.

“She comes on outings. When they are ready to let her go, they will.”

The family plans to use the coroner’s fi ndings and medical records obtained under FOI as part of a negligence claim against the WA health department and treating clinics, Alma Street and King Edward Hospital, for knowing about Berg’s planned suicide and doing nothing to stop it.

“We’re entering the fi fth year since Erin’s suicide so we are all hoping this inquest may bring more closure for us personally, and for mental health services to learn and change practices that led to such an avoidable and horrifi c outcome for Erin,” Mrs Doyle says.

The social worker with 20 years’ experience says her 39-year-old sister, formerly an occupational therapist at Graylands hospital, had been released from Alma Street just weeks before carrying out her suicide plan in Mexico.

Her youngest child had been born the previous March and 11 months later, on Valentine’s Day 2008, Berg was admitted

to King Edward Hospital as an involuntary patient.

It was there her detailed suicide plan was discovered by staff , who

found a passport application, travellers’ cheques, an itinerary to Mexico and an overdue library slip for a book by right-to-die campaigner Philip Nitschke.

According to medical records, Berg was confronted with the material and King Edward staff tried to contact the Department of Foreign Aff airs and Trade. There appears to have been no follow-up to that initial failed call.

By April 2, Berg’s status as an involuntary patient was overturned by the Medical Health Review Board, which the family claims had ignored warning signs before releasing her on a community treatment order under Alma Street’s care.

“Erin got in touch with Alma Street and asked them for permission to go

away because she would breach her community order if she missed a visit,” Ms Doyle says. “They said yes.

“As an emergency department social worker, if I had this evidence I would be onto DFAT straight away and report it as a high risk. They knew the risk because King Edward knew.

“It breaks my heart when you view her records and see how many ways they could have shut this down.”

Berg was found unconscious in a hotel room in Tijuana and died 10 days later in hospital, with her sisters by her side.

Family members have fl own in from the eastern states and taken time off work to attend the coroner’s inquest.

“Personally, it’s going to be a prick of a week,” Ms Doyle says. The family has hired a Melbourne barrister to ask questions at the inquiry from February 25, which ends March 1, the sixth birthday of Erin and Norman’s youngest daughter.

“I hope this is the last time I have to think in detail about what happened,” Ms Doyle says. “It will be annoying. But we have a barrister who will be able to ask the hard questions.”

• Norman Berg and Chris Doyle hope a coronial inquest into the suicide of Erin Berg (inset) fi ve years ago will allow them to fi nd

peace. Photo by Carmelo Amalfi

Beatrice has done a great job looking after Fleur and the house. Fleur had not lost weight as she usually does and the house was immaculate. The neighbours didn’t hear Fleur at all so Beatrice must have given her a lot of care and attention. ( Fleur howls when left alone). Beatrice left a note as a handover as she had left before we came home which was much appreciated. Lesley in Claremont

Our dog was in great shape when we got back home. I think he was sad that we were back, he seemed to miss having Juvena around to take him for lots of walks and spend time with him during the day! The house was very neat and tidy, Juvena even left us a fresh vase of roses and a new carton of milk. Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thanks :) Amy in Carine

IT’S often assumed the butler did it: Well, this home in Willagee’s Butler Street, tucked behind a cute white

picket fence, certainly did it for me.There was a time aeons ago when

Willagee was looked down upon, but these days the suburb is laughing all the way to the bank.

This three-bedroom home on a tidy 352sqm is one of the working class suburb’s originals, built in 1953.

The vendor had more than a clue when he took a hatchet to the interior, removing several walls to create a lovely open-plan and light-fi lled kitchen/dining/living area.

Aged jarrah fl oors glow under foot and the living area is dominated by a lovely open fi replace and a bay window overlooking a manicured front garden.

The kitchen, new and dazzling white with caesar stone benches, is compact but has plenty of space for a cook to whip up a feast. It even features a handy pantry.

A dignifi ed study at the rear of the home will come in handy for anyone working

from home or with teens.White French doors from the rear

vestibule lead to a covered timber deck where alfresco dining day or night will be a pleasure. When the kids ask to be excused from the table (ha ha) there’s a swathe of grass for a bit of cricket.

Willagee is a very liveable suburb these days with lots of trees, parks and open

areas. The local shops are within walking distance as are the local primary and high schools.

Or jump in the car and you’re at the Attadale foreshore for a pleasant evening stroll, or in Fremantle for coff ee in minutes.

herald food

APPARENTLY Le Whaf dining—where a machine transforms

food into breathable vapour—is the latest fad in Europe. Crack for foodies.

Well, those crazy euro-cats can keep their meal-in-mist because breathing in food must be a poor substitute to delighting in the real thing.

White Gum Valley’s Lumos Cafe had been a bit hit and miss at fi rst with its food, but the place now continually serves up quality, contemporary Australian fare.

Many of the dishes can be tweaked to become gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian or even vegan.

Nestled amongst shops on Minilya Avenue, the eatery is light and breezy, if a little pokey on the inside. The new deck out the front is a hit with the locals who’ve adopted the place as their home away from home.

The menu off ers a delectable array, from the nibble-size oven-baked fi eld mushrooms with roasted butternut pumpkin, grilled haloumi, drizzled with basil pesto to something more substantial, such as crispy-skin Tasmania salmon with royal blue potato rosti, wilted spinach, cherry tomatoes and home-made hollandaise.

As it was breakfast I couldn’t go past the Lumos universe ($22). It comes with free-range eggs, bacon, chipolatas, hash

FOOD BRENDAN FOSTERFFFFFB

browns, grilled tomato, beaked beans, mushrooms and spinach.

The last time I’d ordered a fry up was when Kevin Rudd was PM. I’ve certainly missed one of them (tip: it’s not one KRudd).

As any big brekky afi cionado will concede, runny eggs are the “sauce” that brings the whole dish together. These were slightly runny but not gooey and had a great texture and consistency.

Some folk don’t like the inclusion of beans but I think they anchor the meal.

And just a splattering of fried mushrooms and spinach is a nice inclusion because it off ers a meatless pause from chipolatas

and bacon.Despite the ingredient list

reading like a Russian novel, there’s no chance of leaving any behind—the bread mops up drips with decorum.

My eating companion, who always shakes her head at my carnivorous ways, demurely chose the vege big breakfast ($20). Basically the same as mine, with bacon replaced with avocado and no chipolata.

She loved the stodgy beans and the mouthwatering mushrooms, hash browns and bright red tomatoes were full of fl avour.

What I like about the cafe is you are well looked after by friendly and e cient staff . Despite it being busy, the food arrived in good time. Famous cafes on the strip could take note: Breakfast shouldn’t take till lunch to come out of the kitchen.

Quaint, cute and reliable for serving up excellent local food, Lumos is ideal for folk who can’t be bothered with the myriad hassles of going into town.

DECEMBER 10 2012 marked the 25th anniversary of the

desth of the great violin maestro Jascha Heifetz.

One of his last students was Rudolf Koelman, who will be touring Australia in a series of concerts to pay tribute to his teacher.

Koelman is a regular to our shores and a violin virtuoso is his own right.

He’s the former concertmaster of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; Professor of violin at the Zurich University of the Arts; winner of the Edison Award 2010 and

a renowned soloist, who is frequently asked to perform around the world.

During this tour the favourites of the master will resound and masterclasses and workshops will be added to most of the concerts

“To me it is a tribute to a great master,” Koelman says. He will perform at Government House Ballroom January 27 and Fremantle Town Hall January 28.

The Herald has two double passes to giveaway. Entries to: Herald FCO concert, PO Box 85 North Fremantle 6159. Comp closes Tues January 15.

WHAT a week—those pesky thieves stealing airconditioners really made life hard for some.

Or they would have, if they’d been real. Yes, the Police Warning advising you to keep an eye out for airconditioner thieves was last week’s Adbuster, the fake ad we slip in to drive you mad.

Congratulations to MARK TRAVERS of South Lake who’s no fool who kept his cool, yo. Mark, you and a mate are off to the Turban Restaurant in Fremantle for a slap-up meal for two (we suggest you steer clear of the vindaloo in the summer heat—or you may be tempted to nick an airconditioner yourself). Folks, there’s another fake ad in the paper this week—fi nd it, get the details to us ASAP and you could be enjoying a free nosh-up at the Mussel Bar!

Freeze, sucker!

IT took a brush with death and quite a lot of gentle nagging

by partner Margie Zoetelief to convince photographer Jeremy Dixon to hold his fi rst exhibition—at the age of 60.

Diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in March 2011 he faced months in hospital and extensive chemotherapy before being give the all-clear.

With a return to health and a renewed enthusiasm for life and craft, work began on Point of View—so titled because it’s the world seen “out of my eyes”, says Dixon (who is also a Herald snapper).

But it wouldn’t have happened without the, “love of my life” he’s quick to add.

“[She] is the driving force behind the exhibition…this wouldn’t have happened without her…I wouldn’t have survived without Margie,” an uncharacteristically emotional Dixon told the Herald.

Never without his Canon he’s been shooting WA and the eastern states for 30 years.But despite a stellar career and a collection of awards, including the prestigious AIPP Illustrative Photographer of the Year award, the photos remained hidden in a hard disk, unseen by any but a few who might visit his fl oating home Moonshine, moored at the Fremantle Sailing Club.

“I lacked confi dence in my own view,” Dixon says.

“I don’t have a problem with

ARTS JENNY D’ANGERAAJ

taking the shots…it’s the editing process I have a problem with.”

With more than 5000 photos and ever-rising, it was time to give them an airing, Ms Zoetelief says.

‘I said ‘you are not sharing them with anybody, you are locking them away’.”

The exhibition space is in an unlikely “gallery”—it’s the waiting room of Dixon’s doctor, Clive Lacey at the Cockburn Medical Centre.

Opened four years ago the good doc realised he had a number of “non-exhibiting” artists on his patient list, and, with blank walls to fi ll, off ered them free of charge.

“I had the idea of setting up an exhibition of local artists,” Dr Lacey told the Herald.

With thousands of images to choose from Dixon went for those which soothe the spirit.

“We were mindful of what we were putting in a waiting room…we wanted peaceful shots.”

The exhibition is a mix of photographs from as far afi eld as the Kimberley and as close to home as Fishing Boat Harbour and the Cockburn light house.

Some have been given a “painterly” eff ect using a mix of over- and under-exposure and an oil painting-eff ect plug-in.

The exhibition has been one of the most popular to date, Dr Lacey says.“[With a] continuous stream of positive feedback and admiration…since they’ve been on the wall.”

The exhibition is open to the public, but visitors are asked to be mindful it’s also a doctor’s waiting room.

WARNING: Don’t call any electrican until you read this

Not all Electricians are the same... most contractors don’t turn up when they say, if at all & when they do they are often rude, unpleasant & leave you with an unfair bill, a messy

house & feeling really annoyed.Hi, I’m Dave from “My Sparky”. I know good, reliable tradies are

hard to fi nd, that’s why I guarantee you’ll have me arrive

on time. I’ll be courteous, respectful & in uniform. I will

only do the best quality work - no short cuts, then clean up after

the job & leave you with a smile. If you’re not happy at the end

you’ll receive $50 cash, on me.

TESTIMONIALS“Very happy with Dave - on time,

HERALD

by JENNY D ANGER

A PENSIONER lay dead,

undiscovered in his

Homeswest unit in Hamilton

Hill for ve days, despite

neighbours’ pleas to the WA

housing department to check

on him.When police nally kicked in

his door, they found the man’s

corpse. It’s unknown how long

he’d been dead.Residents of the units in

Hamilton Hill’s Frederick Street

ch other so when i lence erupted at a leaver’s party.

wasn’t related to the man.

Peering in the window

for signs of the pensioner Ms

Castaldi had noticed a lot of ies:

“Flies at the window is not good,”

so she called the police.

“They came straight away and

kicked the door in—but he was

dead. The poor old bugger was on

the oor [of his bedroom].”

The stench was overpowering,

indicating he’d been dead for

some time, and police had to call

for masks, Ms Castaldi said.

She called the department to

inform staff in no uncertain terms

about what had happened.

“The man said ‘yes we are th t

Neighbours’

pleas ignored

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Even though life is slowing you down, you still have your sense of humour.

Less fl ippant raucousness and more existential chuckles, will show the resilient nature of your spirit. With Mars in Aquarius, freedom will be uppermost in your mind. Loosen your shackles.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)Venus is in Capricorn, inviting a riotous romp. Of course the more riotous your

romp, the more likely it is that entrenched ideas of propriety will start making a big noise too. Somewhere in the middle of this three-ringed circus, you’ll fi gure out what’s natural and what’s not.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)The strength that is carrying you at the moment, is more to do with

your soul and your intuitive sense, than anything material and tangible. This may make you feel like you are fl oating on an ocean rather than rooted like a tree in mother earth. Honour your deepest wishes.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)The Moon is new. She’s a tiny silver sliver – a fresh start - in Capricorn.

Within every tender, emotionally literate Cancerian, is a lonesome Capricornian cow-person, riding a solitary path up a high mountain. Bank on creativity - and on your capacity to act off your own bat.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)Relationship is served by robust individuality. Delight in another

person’s capacity to be themselves; in their capacity to direct and produce their own movie. Though it may throw you to let go of the reins, know that it’s right to allow another to empower themselves.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)With Mercury in Capricorn, all that is ‘nuts and bolts’ practical in you is reinforced

tenfold. This holds the potential to help you get strongly on track, though there are a couple of things to be aware of. Don’t get too serious - and remember that fl exibility adds strength.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)Though there are numerous planets in earthy Capricorn, which is often a

bit of a downer for airy Librans, this time you aren’t fazed. Hold your position, even when others are making a lot of racket. The co-operative alliances you have built up, can trump noisy opposition.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)Pluto has been turning the earth upside down. Though life might

seem to have been putting you into a spin – it’s really just some spiritual, psychological and cosmic gardening that’s been going on. He has been turning the soil, to make it ripe for re-planting. Feel renewed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)As the Sun takes his court into Capricorn, it’s time for all Sagittarians to

stop, have a rest and a drink. Having been galloping for months, you have worked up a lather of sweat and a ferocious appetite. Let someone give you a good brushing. Soak up some love. Be at rest.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Pluto, are now all within your sign.

That is half of all the planets. There’s a planetary powwow going on in your back yard. It being a new Moon, fresh shoots of love, insight, integration and renewal, are already starting to show.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)You aren’t going to be put off, no matter the weather. Mars is driving you on

towards your ruling idea with all the steady power of an old tractor. Once you get something in mind, there’s not much is going to stop you. Steer clear of obsession. Be willing to refl ect occasionally.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)The presence of fi ve planets in Capricorn gives you the feeling

that you are being held. Life is offering the kind of support that you can trust unquestioningly. It’s a new Moon too, which is an invitation to look for new shoots, fresh bursts of life. Focus on your strengths.
