’TWAS the night before Christmas when the Barnett government gazetted its legislation to merge Bayswater and Bassendean councils and rejig Stirling’s borders.

Former Vincent councillor and anti-forced amalgamation campaigner Ian Ker found the timing deeply suspect, given many people were either deeply distracted or on holiday (including the Voice).

Mr Ker commented: “What a cynical piece of skulduggery to have governor’s orders issued on Christmas Eve and hope that no-one will notice—especially when the supreme court judgement is under appeal.”

Mr Ker and a few other councils tried to fight the mergers in court but their attempt was rejected by chief justice Wayne Martin, partly because the changes planned didn’t affect the plaintiffs.

Subiaco city council is appealing that decision.

TIRED of talented bands playing to empty rooms, Bassendean music producer Peter Renzullo has started up the Perth Underground Live Music Appreciation Club, to revitalise the flagging live music scene.

The aim is simple: he doesn’t want people to just join his group. He wants rock-solid commitment to attending gigs.

Early indications are positive: he’d hoped to sign up 100 people by Christmas but it’s soared already to 700.

Turnouts over the past couple of years have certainly withered. Sometimes the only people watching are the bar staff. It means dedicated live music venues struggle to make a buck, and either close or scale back their gig nights.

“I’ve certainly noticed it a lot in the past few years,” Mr Renzullo says. “I used to play on and off in 2001 and 2002, and that seemed to be a lot more busy, the pubs were packed.

A SPATE of thefts from cars has dampened the Christmas spirit for visitors to Bayswater’s Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary

The weekend after Christmas, police reported five thefts from vehicles in the sanctuary car park and three more in the surrounding area.

“We did have a line of inquiry via iPhone tracking but that didn’t pan out,” says local acting senior sergeant Warren Greaney.

“We are continuing to

• eter Ren ullo wants to get local music gigs um ing again.

“The latest trend, quite noticeably across the board, is a drop in crowds.”

“The public is quite disengaged with the original scene,” he says, and that leads to a self-defeating cycle: bands get apathetic so they don’t publicise their gigs, so no-one turns up, and on it goes. Pub owners watching their bottom line fall back on recorded music or cover bands belting out Khe Sanh.

Mr Renzullo started Pulmac to build up a dedicated fan base.

He’s planning monthly meetings at live gigs so members can get exposure to new music and chat with like-minded fans. It’s also a reminder to venue owners that people are interested.

New bands also need to show pub owners they can bring along a fan base—a tough ask if you haven’t gigged before—so Pulmac members can step in on that front too, giving new bands an all-important leg-up.

Pulmac’s big launch gig is January 11 at the Bakery in James Street, Northbridge, and there’s already 200 pre-sales. It’ll be a mixed bag of acts to expose newcomers to variety, with vocal loop artist Sam Perry, acoustic folksters Lynda Smyth & the Borrowed Few, Shimmergloom, The Regular Hunters and the indy/grungy The Bitter Grins getting up on stage.

The group has a Facebook page (PULMAC) or head to www.nowbaking.com.au for a ticket to the launch, or it’s $15 on the door.

proactively police these types of offences across the Bayswater sub-district.

“Any place where vehicles are parked for an extended period of time, can be targets for thefts.”

Councillor Chris Cornish says carpark users should be vigilant.

“It is disappointing to hear about the recent spate of car break-ins,” he says.

“I have informed the City of Bayswater ranger and security services so that they are aware of the issue, and have faith that they will be extra vigilant in the area.”

A THIEF has been seen stealing mail from letterboxes in the dead of night in West Perth.

At 2am Monday January 6 this Voice journo peered out his kitchen window, spotting the thief, kitted out in dark clothes, cap, backpack and torch, taking envelopes from mailboxes along Carr Street.

LOUD grunts and leering have been banned at Beatty Park.

New directives follow complaints last year, reported in the Voice, that women were being eyed up by sweaty muscle-men in the sauna.

A sign’s now been erected at the swim centre, reminding sauna-goers “inappropriate comments, language, topics of conversation within hearing of other members” are unacceptable.

A newsletter links the reminder to the centre’s changing demographic following its glamour revamp.

Loud gym exertions that would put Sharapova to shame have also been outlawed, with weightlifters reminded “excessive loud grunting” is not allowed while pumping iron.

Gyms around the world have been taking aim at loudly grunting bodybuilders thought to be scaring off casual gym-goers.

US-based gym chain Planet Fitness has installed “Lunk alarms” that sound a siren if someone grunts too loud, and it cancelled a bodybuilder’s membership for being too guttural during lifts.

A 1999 Texas sports science study found no increase in lifting ability from grunting, but more recent research from Drexel University shows a 10 per cent increase in force when vocalising. Japanese martial arts also teach practitioners to let out a “kiai!” when striking in order to focus power, and similar shouts exist in Chinese and Korean arts. In kendo a swordsman is only awarded a point if the strike is accompanied by a strong shout.

ANOTHER artwork by Chinese sculptor Chen Wen Ling has been damaged by Perth’s philistine denizens.

On New Year’s Eve delinquents tore the $58,000 sculpture free from its pricey plinth at the corner of Bulwer and Vincent Streets.

They left the sculpture languishing on the grass, where

incent council staff retrieved it. It’s now in storage at the council depot, awaiting reattachment.

n anuary 2 council staff discovered damage to another piece of public art, with the antique bed at the corner of Beaufort and Clarence Streets having the foot end turned away and other cast iron bits cracked.

“It just shows a lack of respect to the local community.

“I am tired of drunken idiots vandalising our city. We are investing so much in renewing our town centres and streets and it’s a complete lack of respect for the people who live here.

“Unfortunately it’s also repeated behaviour, with trees often smashed or destroyed. I’ve had enough.”

Mr Carey says the council is reviewing Beaufort Street’s CCTV in order to identify the culprits.

In 2012 two men were convicted for stealing another of Chen’s red men statues from Sculpture by the Sea, sawing it off at the feet and carting it away.

Operation Rescue culminated in the arrest of two homeless people charged with withdrawing money from bank accounts, buying debit cards, hiring vehicles and renting hotel rooms. Many victims had no clue it was even going on.

2014 was the year when the Abbott Government tried to destroy solar.

The Government wanted to axe the Renewable Energy Target but failed thanks to the efforts of some solar heroes across industry and in Federal Parliament. That’s why we are holding the Summer of Solar.

This fantastic news means the Federal Government RET scheme remains in place unchanged. At least for now.

Come February, the Government will be scheming on new ways to destroy solar.

So now is the perfect time to buy. Install solar this summer to slash your power bills and show

our Prime Minister you care about solar. By investing in rooftop solar you will be supporting lower power bills, clean energy jobs

and a renewable energy future.

O’Neill nails itSHAYNE G O’NEILL in his letter “Garbage” (Voice Mail, December 20, 2014) nailed it for me.

The Northbridge area has always been the epicentre for homeless people where they have access to accommodation, food and medical aid, as well being able to socialise with people in a similar predicament on public land.

Most of the time they keep to themselves but are continuously and unnecessarily harassed and targeted by police who have nothing better to do than react to frivolous complaints by a bunch of recent arrivals with not a skerrick of compassion nor understanding.

Furthermore, being an intelligent lot the new arrivals should have undertaken due diligence of the area and factored in these so-called problems before moving in.

What suburb do they want these unwanted folk to move to? The developers of these el cheapo units and the buffoons from local authorities have never met these “down and outers” face to face in an effort to find solutions but instead put them down at every opportunity.

The Voice editor has obviously been hard done by the state administrative tribunal at some time in his life and continuously raises the issue of its members not being elected.

Well, mate you want to wake up to yourself big time as the buffoons elected to councils with a few hundred votes are there to look after their own personal interests and the interests of their mates.

At least with the SAT there is objectivity and if you don’t agree with the decision you have the right to challenge it in the Supreme Court.

George BouzidisThird Ave, Mount Lawley

Love those Voice lettersI ENJOYED the range of comments in Voice Mail in 2014. Let’s start 2015 local.

I agree with John Carey’s philosophy we should be developing around people and not cars. However, the Mary Street location for the piazza is inappropriate.

As long as Barlee Street residents are consulted first, perhaps it would be a better location. Furthermore, if the council is so concerned about this then why does it allow parking on Beaufort Street?

This is particularly the case close to the junction of Walcott, which is continually one of the worst accident black spots in Perth.

On the whole though this is a minor gripe compared to the state government which was wasting millions on trying to catch sharks when that money should be spent on health, education and housing. I think we know who the biggest shark is!

I see Darryl Moore still has sour grapes and is deluded about the “winning” federal team....just as well we have the unrepresentative swill (quote Paul Keating) of the Senate to stop/ water down some of Tony Abbott’s policies, especially the GP

No tax funds for religious schoolsISN’T it high time for governments to stop giving any financial assistance to all kinds of religious schools, given that these communities are socially divisive and, given the opportunity, intolerants?

Today we see Shiites and Sunnis killing each other—despite the fact they worship the same god and believe in the same scriptures—just as the Catholics and Protestants did not so long ago.

In fact, historically millions of people have died thanks to religious conflicts. And, over the centuries, the worst human rights abuses took place under the arbitrary power of ecclesiastic authorities…the ultimate form of dictatorship and death of democracy.

No doubt about it, our tax money could be better spent helping out the increasing numbers of destitute Australians.

Kate Emery is wrong when she says (“Barnett confident on council mergers,” The West online, December 16, 2014) that “the City of Vincent wants to be part of the City of Perth”.

The Vincent proposal was made only in an attempt to avoid the worst aspects of proposals from the minister and the City of Perth.

Nearly four out five of those who voted in October 2013 did not want Vincent to be abolished.

Vincent council has clearly stated its position to be that it:

• recognises the local community’s first preference, based on the results of the City of Vincent plebiscite and ongoing community feedback, that Vincent remain as its own local government entity;

• remains opposed to forced local government mergers which does not give ratepayers the final say on the future of their council.

The Vincent mayor has also strongly opposed the vote-weighting proposed by Barnett to ensure “residents don’t control the CBD”—the effect of which would be to make Vincent residents second-class citizens.

For Colin Barnett to say, publicly, the City of Vincent supports his proposed City of Perth Act can only be described as an astounding act of hubris, one compounded by his expectation the Opposition will support it, despite statements to the contrary previously made by opposition leader Mark McGowan.

A BUSHFIRE in Coolbinia last Sunday has been declared suspicious by fire authorities, leading to an investigation by the police arson squad.

The fire started around noon near the Coolbinia primary and Sir David Brand schools, beside Glick Road.

Locals were evacuated and Bradford Street closed as 11 fire trucks and four water bomber helicopters arrived on the scene.

Stirling city councillor Terry Tyzack, who lives nearby on Wordsworth Avenue, says he was told helicopters siphoned water from the aquatic centre in Inglewood, before flying to the blaze in Coolbinia.

A DFES spokesperson said the blaze was contained at 1.31pm and extinguished at 4.14pm.

FRINGE FESTIVAL fever is set to rock Perth as performers and artists across Australia and the world pack their glittery shoes, outrageous wigs and head to town.

From high theatre and a cathedral candle light cabaret at St George’s Cathedral, to dark and brooding plays to outrageous vaudeville, song, dance and circus there’s something for everyone at shows with ridiculously low prices.

Russell Square will become the Pleasure Garden, with venues amongst the trees for a slew of fast paced non-stop action, while theatres and venues across Perth and Fremantle will host cutting edge, innovative theatre.

The Blue Room Theatre and PICA’s multi-award winning Summer Nights is back with a whopping 35 shows: “It’s bigger than Ben Hur,” media spinner Jenna Mathie says.

One of many, Squid Boy (Trygve Wakenshaw) is back at PICA after last year’s runaway

hit show with Kraken, while Fake it Til You Make It looks at clinical depression and men.

And kids aren’t forgotten with New Zealand hot young talent Trick of Light Theatre presenting The Bookbinder, a mix

of mystery, magic and mayhem.

In the Pleasure Garden, Penny Shaw frocks up for Opera Undressed with sublime arias and amusing stories, rubbing shoulders with edgy and over the top cabaret nearby.

Asking For It is a one-woman show by Adrienne Truscott, about rape. But this is fringe so don’t expect a too-dark exploration of the subject.

“Adrienne plans to make jokes about rape, all night long, even if

you tell her to stop,” the blurb says. It’s on at The Stables, one of a swag of performances in and around the cultural centre in Northbridge.

Black Swan is showing Venus in Fur at the Studio Underground at the State Theatre a “psychological striptease” that promises a thrilling conclusion.

Or head to De Parel Spiegeltent at the Cultural Centre for something light with Fever, the Music of

Peggy Lee.With hundreds of shows to

choose from there’s something for everyone. The Fringe Festival kicks off anuary 2 to February 22 and the full program is available at Perth Fringe Festival 2015.

• The Darling Buds of May Swing Revue and Yana Alana’s Between the Cracks—just two

of the many acts in this year’s Fringe Festival.

determined the cause to be suspicious,” he said.

Arthur Mistilis, who lives on nearby Carnarvon Crescent, says it was a lucky escape for the Sir David Brand School, which caters for students with disabilities.

“It was lucky that the blaze

was caught quickly, as it could have easily spread across the bushland,” he says.

“The fire would have been right on top of them and destroyed everything. There was quite a commotion with loads of sirens and helicopters flying overhead.”

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Finding freedom isn’t proving to be as straightforward as you had imagined it

would be. It seems that many of the things that are tangling you, are coming from the inside. Circumstance is only a small part of the story. Let this make you passionate to really know and liberate yourself.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20) Venus is in Aquarius, making any orthodox approaches to love and intimacy irrelevant.

None of us can really ever fi t the mould. The mould itself is a myth. Having understood this, it’s time to celebrate who you are, in all your uniqueness. Your way is valid, special and appropriate.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) Though there’s a part of you that is desperate to live a simple quiet life

that keeps everybody happy, there’s another part, which is stronger, that wants to throw off the shackles and be an original. Mercury in Aquarius is reminding you that the things you hold true, remain true.

CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)The Moon is coming off the boil. She begins her week in Virgo, allowing

everybody to come back to normality and order, following the intensity of her fullness. This is a moment for letting your emotions settle down. A diff erent kind of beauty comes after the excitement mellows.

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)The Capricorn Sun is keeping you intrigued by the idea of putting your

talents into practise. This is a moment for researching possibilities, for looking into what you can do and what you can’t do, to make your deepest dreams come true. This is a moment for looking. Leaping comes later.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)The Moon begins her week in Virgo. She passes by in such a way that you are forced

to consider the way of seeing that underpins your life. Your love of wisdom can take you deeper here. It is time to consider if there are other ways that might help to augment what you already have.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)The world at large is calling. Whatever it is that you feel you have to do out there

in the marketplace, this is a good moment for putting it into place. It’s a good moment for building, for driving dreams to their appropriate destination in reality. Be original, creative and practical.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)Now that Saturn is gone, you can rise to your potential. You’ve served

a very solid apprenticeship over these last few years. That experience now forms the basis of strength and vision that you presently have to off er. Life is inviting you to come into your power.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)The more you let go of your ideas of how things should be, the more life starts to

send you into relationships that are powerful and meaningful. As you let go of preconceptions and begin to listen, so you open. As you open, so you become more available. It’s a simple equation.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)The Sun is still in your midst. If you haven’t ever looked at photographs of the kinds

of places mountain goats get themselves, you should. It will help explain where you are now. There is a certain challenge that comes from getting into and then out of precarious predicaments.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Mercury and Venus are giving you heaps of energy, to follow your love and your

awareness wherever they want to go. This is in spite of other external conditions not being apparently supportive. You are always one to go for what’s real for you, no matter what. Stay that way.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Though you are being opposed in all sorts of ways, you feel as if life is

holding and supporting you - and hence feel strong. This is a powerful time of consolidation. The very things that are opposing you are helping to galvanise your spirit, to make you feel strong and clear.

ENTHUSIASM and efficiency is permeating Perth’s service industry, threatening the

existence of our colony’s once infamously surly waiters.

Sayers Sister aptly demonstrates this new breed, as cheery waiters rush to bring water, happily discuss the menu—are equally happy to check with the kitchen if they didn’t know the answer—and generally ensure customers are happy and comfortable and kept informed of any delays, as was the case for those queuing on this busy Tuesday.

Stephanie and Mark Sayers opened Sayers in Leederville a touch over seven years ago, “and this one two and a half years ago,” Stephanie tells the Voice, adding they no longer own the original.

You’ll find the same attention to detail ensuring fresh, homemade delectables, along with a “bespoke” coffee the pair travels the world to source to ensure it’s the best.

Table service eliminates tedious queues at the counter and the place is licensed, so punters can enjoy a wine or beer over lunch or dinner.

With a frenetic round of Christmas gatherings behind us the D’Angers were looking to enjoy the solitude of brunch for two.

So we sat outside, rather than in the comfy-looking high-backed, red-plush chairs inside where the noise level was rising as people packed in.

Sipping a couple of particularly fine freshly squeezed juices ($5.50) I watched the blokes next door salivate as monstrous steak sandwiches ($21.50) resembling loaves cut in half were delivered.

Thick slices of beef were delicately

pink inside as they tackled their meals in caveman-like contentment.

For me, tucking into a beautifully presented plate of mushroom and parmesan croquettes ($18.50) swimming in a cheesy fondue was a very satisfying experience, the flavours complementing each other in perfect harmony.

D’Angerous Dave’s coriander and cumin beans ($16.50) arrived in a vibrant orange tagine, adding to the picture-perfect contents, and the taste was

exquisite, exploding in the mouth in a rich mix of tomato and Moroccan spices.

We finished with a slice of lime and coconut tart ($7) and an almond and berry slice ($4.50), both of which were fantastic.

But I confess to passing on the coffee in favour of sharing a refreshing pot of earl grey tea with my loved one.
