by CARMELO AMALFICAMPED for months at a time at parks and beaches across Fremantle, Cockburn and Kwinana, scores of people say a lack of housing leaves them nowhere to live but carparks and beaches.
Ahead of the federal May budget, the prime minister reassures charities, “we won’t let the people of WA down”.
But the words ring hollow to those living in cars and caravans, surviving day by day, waiting to hear from the WA housing department.
Rangers say the number of
by CARMELO AMALFIA PATIENT who escaped Alma Street’s psychiatric clinic last week tried to kill herself by standing in front of Hampton Road traffi c.
The middle-aged woman screamed at cars and begged motorists to hit her before clinic staff managed to restrain her. No drivers stopped to help.
Fremantle hospital refuses to release any details of the March 5 incident, citing patient confi dentialty.
“All people have a right to confi dentiality of their personal health information and therefore the department of health will not comment on matters or answer questions where personal information is being sought,” executive director David Blythe said.
A witness to the 11am incident says staff and visiting relatives chased the woman to the busy Alma Street intersection.
“I couldn’t believe how many staff there were,” she told the Herald. In 2011 she’d witnessed the suicide of a patient who’d been let out for a cigarette (he’d jumped in front of a truck).
The escape occurred during parliamentary debate over the new WA mental health act.
This week EY (formerly Ernst & Young) released a new report into mental health and homelessness in Australia.
Its Crossroads report found nearly one in two adult Australians have experienced mental illness, but less than half received the help they needed.
The report says meeting demand would cost $9 billion and 8800 more trained professionals over 15 years.
“This new report highlights the fundamental failure of our current mental health system,” Australian mental health commission CEO Frank Quinlan said.
“Australia invests too much at the acute end of the mental health system, and not enough on early intervention and prevention.”
vehicles reported at popular beach parks is rising. Unless they create a disturbance or set up camp, there is little rangers can do, according to councils contacted this week.
“We’re not sure why,” Kwinana ranger Rachel Elkims told the Herald. “We’ve been trying to deal with it for a couple of months. We’re trying to work with them but it’s very diffi cult.”
She says patrols last week reported six families camped illegally at Kwinana Beach. Others report growing numbers of “vagrants” at popular beaches north and south of Fremantle.
This week, the Herald visited several and spoke to people who say they can’t aff ord private
rentals and are on public housing waiting lists.
One couple from Victoria has waited two months so far while a father and his intellectually disabled son have lived at least three months out of their 4WD, travelling from site to site.
An elderly man setting up his barbecue in the carpark at Kwinana Beach says he has lived out of his small caravan for a year.
He prefers to park on friends’ properties than take his chances in a beach carpark.
Federal Liberal MP Ken Wyatt, who represents the sprawling electorate of Hasluck in the eastern suburbs and foothills, says the future of $14.5 million
in homelessness services across WA is emerging as a key issue. He urges Mr Abbott to revive funding under the national partnership agreement on homelessness.
If not extended past June 30, 6000 people assisted under the program in WA will be out in the cold.
In state parliament, Fremantle-based Greens MLC Lynn MacLaren asked child protection minister Helen Morton whether the PM’s comments provided enough certainty to guarantee services would not be cut.
Ms Morton replied she was confi dent the government would re-commit to fund the services via a new four-year national partnership agreement.

Tantalising traditional dishes, singing, dancing and music. Taste the different varieties of Home Cooked Vegetarian Dishes from the
diverse regions of India
It is time to head down to the Fremantle Esplanade - the Indian Food Festival is here again to

rice. India is like Europe, it is a patchwork of very different regions, each with their own cuisine. There is so much variety for all to taste and enjoy.
Added to that is the fact Indian cuisine has spread to places such as Malaysia and Sri Lanka, where it has taken on a life of its own, mingling with the local ingredients.
Those who have experienced the tantalising food at this festival over the years look forward to indulging in their favourite dishes. Organisers are confi dent it will be a very happy day out for the whole family. Every year this event brings together West Australians from so many backgrounds, creating a wonderful shared experience.
Must-try dishes include dosai (crispy pancake-style snacks), a variety of “fi nger-licking” chapati and spiced rices and the popular Gujarathi, Bengali sweets. “Come for the brunch, stay for the tiffi n (Indian high tea), take home for dinner and stack up the freezer for the next few weeks!”
Ingredients:
1 cup desiccated coconut 395g can sweetened condensed milk 10 cardamom pods - ground into powder Handful of pistachio nuts, roughly crushedMethod:
Mix 200g of the coconut and the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Add mixture to the pan. Stir over low heat until it starts to dry and rolls easily into a ball. Remove from the heat. Cool for 5 to 10 min until cool. Place remaining coconut onto a plate. Using damp hands, roll the mixture into balls and then in coconut to coat.

RIVERDANCE received a standing ovation when performed in 1994’s
Eurovision song contest, with the troupe and routine going on to take the world by storm.
In the 20 years since then, the global love aff air has hardly waned and many girls—and a fair whack of boys—who take up Irish dancing these days have little or no connection to Eire.
“You get quite a multicultural mix,” dance teacher Teresa McGorry says, smiling.
“We have one little girl from the Middle-East at the moment.”
There are 300 children learning Irish dancing in WA and a fair few
LAST year Bob Geldof happened to be in WA and the ex-Boomtown
Rat and fundraiser-for-famines happily gave his blessing to Leederville’s inaugural St Patrick’s Day parade.
Oganisers know that’ll be hard to top so instead they’re focussing on simply building on the rip-roaring success of last year ’s parade.
“We decided we would be shooting ourselves in the foot if we went for someone big each year,” co-organiser Karen Hennessy says.
“We want to let the event build itself…to build as a name.”
Having been in WA just fi ve years herself, Hennessy is happy to acknowledge the role Irish

of them will be hopping their way through Leederville for Sunday’s St Patrick’s parade.
A key aspect of Irish dancing is to keep the arms and back straight while you dance: It’s bloody hard.
Such is the draw of the unquestionably beautiful—and energetic—dance there are 18 teachers and 10 schools around Perth, Ms McGorry says. “I have adult classes to kindergarten classes for three-year-olds.”
The k indy c lasses were introduced after her own daughter turned three.
“They do really well, which I didn’t realise until I had a three-year-old of my own. It’s about gaining an appreciation of the music and the pace.”
Some students arrive after a stint at ballet school.
“[They] love Irish dancing it’s happy and more upbeat.”
A recent fl ashmob in the Perth Cultural Centre left audiences wanting more and tapping their feet as dancers disappeared back into the crowd, Ms McGorry says.
“People sat to watch and when it was all over, there were kids still dancing.”
Irish Dancing Takes the World By Storm
immigration has played in WA’s history, starting with the arrival in the 1800s of Fenians, political prisoners agitating for Irish independence.
Etched in WA folklore is the true story of how one band escaped custody and sailed to the US—a safe harbour for Fenians—aboard the Catalpa, a whaler.
Ms Hennessy is part of a new diaspora, fleeing neither oppression nor famine but the global fi nancial crisis.
She arr ived jus t as the traditional parade in Fremantle petered out , i t s volunteer committee exhausted from years of organising the event.

have been “fantastic, so helpful”.B e i n g f a i r l y c e n t r a l t o

Ireland’s honorary consul-general in WA, Martin Kavanagh, will lead the parade, which kicks off at 10am, Sunday March 16.
There wi l l be plenty of colourful floats and marchers from groups including the Gaelic football association and Irish dancing schools.
There’s been an infl ux of fl oats from groups keen to jump on the Irish band wagon, and plenty of marchers including the Gaelic football association, and plenty of Irish dancers. It’s followed by a heap of free family fun at Leederville Oval (Medibank Stadium) from 11am–5pm.

by CARMELO AMALFICOCKBURN councillor Lee-Anne Smith has resigned from the South Metropolitan Regional Council saying she can no longer accept receiving $18,000 in annual “sitting” fees and allowances.
“I didn’t feel comfortable receiving i t ,” she told the Herald, having been elected by her colleagues to the SMRC in October.
Under local government entitlements, $19,000 a year is paid to the SMRC chair as an annual allowance plus $15,000 in “sitting” fees for attending all committee meetings, about 32 a year.
The deputy cha i r—now vacant—receives about $20,000 and other members $10,000.
A n a d d i t i o n a l $ 3 5 0 0 i s paid to all SMRC members to reimburse them for “information and communication technology expenses”.
All payments are on top of other council allowances.
Fifteen members sit on the SMRC, drawn from member
by CARMELO AMALFIPLANS showing a pub next to the Round House have raised residents’ concerns about Fremantle council’s vision for the historic area.
Des igned by counc i l lor Andrew Sullivan—an architect—the drawings came to light but were not discussed at the February 26 council meeting which approved Sunset Events’ $3 million bar and concert venue at Arthur Head.
The drawings include an “upper bar” linked to Sunset Events’ J-Shed project via a walking deck over the Arthur Head cliff face. The bar with ocean views is just metres from WA’s oldest public building.
There is also a lift next to the existing timber staircase leading to the pilots’ cottages now used by Round House volunteers.
Cr Sullivan says the drawings are not a council document and have no official status: “It is a sketch I was working on for my own benefi t,” he says. “It explores some of the ideas for the area.”
He says his idea has received
support as it integrates the area with Victoria Quay and fi shing boat harbour.
“Sunset’s lease does not negate work on other areas,” he says.
“The reason I developed the drawing is to help me resolve in my own mind the potential for the lease area.”
But Dick Baynham, chair of Arthur Head Committee and member of the Fremantle Inner City Residents’ Association which opposes the bar, smells a rat.
He accuses Cr Sullivan of eff ectively writing Sunset events’ business plan and helping force Round House from the area by labelling the cottage they now use “Sunset Artist House”. He says the council sat on the “sketch” for some time before revealing it online.
Mr Baynham says Cr Sullivan first posted his sketch on Cr Rachel Pemberton’s facebook site the day before council approved Sunset’s lease.
A snapshot of comments on her site include a couple from Cr Sullivan who states: “BTW the plan is not the proposal but gives you an idea of the complexity of the thinking that is going
into this issue.” Cr Sullivan prefaces the comment with, “I’m a great believer in informed community participation but that is sometimes hard in our passion-rich community where the ‘it’s my way or the highway or ‘you don’t listen’ is often the starting point of a conversation.”
Mayor Brad Pettitt told the Herald the drawings are amongst early versions developed by Cr Sullivan.
“It’s good thinking,” he says. “Ultimately, we didn’t go with this option because it was very expensive and complicated. It was put together to get us to think about what is possible.”
Council voted to scale back the development, which includes a micro-brewery catering for 400 people and 12 ticketed events a year for 1500 concert goers.
Mr Baynham says Cr Sullivan had assured his committee, “he hadn’t made up his mind on this” when “by his own admission [he’s spent] his time drawing up this ‘vision’—complete with a deck connecting J Shed to the Round House, a Sunset artist house and an upper bar adjoining the Round House”.
Suspicion over Sullivan drawings
councils Cockburn, Fremantle, Kwinana and Melville.
The chair is Melville councillor Cameron Schuster.
“At the fi rst meeting I attended an item was put forward to increase sitting fees for members,” Cr Smith says. She decided to quit after receiving three monthly cheques for $1500.
“Initially, I did not know what the fees were,” she said. “It was my fault for not paying closer attention.”
She also resigned as she was not happy with the direction taken by the SMRC to disband its public relations committee: “I wish them all the best,” she says.
Smith resigns over sitting fees

Tw e n t y - e i g h t p e o p l e a t Spearwood’s Villa Dalmacia—nearly half its 75 residents—came down with vomiting and diarrhoea last Thursday.
Visitors are still allowed into the residential area but CEO Teresa Hickman says the day care centre had to close.
At the time of going to print, three residents were sick and day care was still shut: “None of our residents had to be hospitalised and no-one was sick for more than 24 hours,” Ms Hickman says.
“Visitors are still allowed but they have to follow certain rules, washing their hands etc, and can only visit their own relatives.
“We are following all the guidelines from the health department and believe we are over the worse of it.”
People should avoid visiting a nursing home if they are not well.

Parks for peopleTHE chicken and the egg.
No parks—no people.No place of peace—no apartment sales.No apartments—no rates.Lots of booze—we lose.Does the council have a plan for
the future green space in the city? If so please make it public. If not, why not? Arthur Head reserve is our last bastion of green space in the city which is free of events, liquor and noise, which remain untouched and beautiful. What has happened to the council’s historical values for the future of the city? The skills of amazing architects worldwide seem to have been completely ignored. Fremantle council needs to rise above booze and music and do more for the city’s environment overall. Broaden your horizons, councillors.

Greedy FreoFREMANTLE council, I am paying your miserable parking fi ne, mainly because I am not well enough at this time to fi ght it.
This fi ne was given whilst I was marching for a campaign on November 13. The ranger must have been sitting, waiting for someone to turn up, because I arrived at the spot at 2.55pm, and the fi ne was issued at 2.59pm—one minute before the 3pm free parking kicked in.
I wonder if it was the same person who fi ned me for parking on my own verge in Forrest Street, and then again whilst working for the same campaign group passing out pamphlets at the rail station.
At 67, on a pension and with severe arthritis in both knees, I need my car in and around Fremantle. One can only cringe at the council’s greed and bloodthirsty attitude to its seniors. My doctor was telling me she’d parked her car in Fremantle, went to get a ticket from the machine and on arriving back at her car, already had a parking fi ne.
It seems some of the council’s parking inspectors are up to their old tricks again: one can only marvel at the stupidity of a council struggling to get people to visit when it behaves like this.
I don’t like the modern Fremantle council. The members of the council of old ran rings around what we have today in honesty, integrity and foresight and, although born in Fremantle in ’47, I won’t visit my
More patrons needed, not more venuesIT is not as if Fremantle lacks venues for live music, it just lacks committed patrons at such venues, as witness the closing of Kulcha, Deckchair and the rumoured perennial struggle to survive of the Fly.
For councillor Andrew Sullivan to suggest Fremantle is in danger of becoming “Dullsville” seems highly inappropriate given the number of events held in Fremantle and the current bald state of the Esplanade attesting to its overuse.
Sunset Events must know its Arthur Head proposal will only be commercially viable if a tavern licence is approved. While the council is not responsible for the issue of such a licence it will be consulted on its appropriateness.
As I have already pointed out, the council’s approval of Sunset Events’ proposal, in which a tavern licence is implicit, conveys tacit support for such a licence without that support having been explicitly sought.
In such circumstances it can be expected that an application for a tavern licence will be strenuously opposed on numerous grounds by resident groups.
Sunset Events would be prudent to anticipate just such an eventuality in pressing ahead with its proposal. Despite the mayor’s reported confi dence the development will transform the precinct, as others have stated it has a long way to go yet.
David HawksBellevue Tce, FremantleThe Ed says: This letter has been
mercilessly lopped for length. Keep ‘em short, folks!
Fired upIF anyone has any doubts about the Fremantle council’s lack of consideration for inner city residents they would have been dispelled by the decision to allow a commercial operation to use part of Marine Terrace for the chilli festival.
The closure of the road caused chaos in West End streets.
On the other hand, the council should be applauded for what is happening on the Esplanade: by the time it has fi nished, the Esplanade will be a sand patch for young children to play in before they graduate to the skate park.
Jo JournaPakenham St, Fremantle
Here’s a jabIN “A dose of dissent,” (Herald, March 8, 2013) reporter Steve Grant seems to be trying hard to not upset the anti-science, anti-vaccine AVN mob.
“An opponent dosed up on state funding,” is I think a very poor choice of wording. Perhaps Steve is worried about being targeted by the spray-can-wielding cowards? This lot are very vocal in the back alleys of internet forums, but won’t make their case even to the overly-sympathetic ears of the Herald.
They don’t mind putting the lives of their own and other children at risk, but they fear bullying? Pathetic. They can have their own opinions, but not their own facts.

I REFER to February’s public meetings attended jointly by some 200
Fremantle residents each opposing large-scale developments in Fremantle, including Sunset Events’ proposal for the part redevelopment of J-Shed on Arthur Head A-Class Reserve.
Since attending these meetings I have been dismayed by the evident disregard by some elected members of Fremantle council to:
• legitimate and well articulated views expressed by the community members
• the views of its former expert member of the design committee, Dr Linley Lutton
• state and local ordinances, particularly the council’s own LPS4 provisions and policies.
Specifi cally:1. When arguing his support for the proposed 850-capacity Sunset Events development, Cr Sullivan referred to Arthur Head Reserve Strategy Plan as providing the basis for this development. The only policy support I can fi nd in the document is for: “the low profi le commercial uses of the J-Shed, refl ective of and compatible with the history and maritime themes of Arthur Head and the foreshore … for the maximum fi ve-year period leases”. So unless Cr Sullivan could demonstrate otherwise, I would regard his public assertions as misinformed at best;2. At the council meeting Cr Sullivan justifi ed his support for the large-scale redevelopment of J-Shed as the continuation of the recently accomplished Old Port Project. I wish to put it on public record there is nothing comparable between these two developments. As manager of the project from inception to completion, including the procurement of Lotterywest funding, I should know. The Old Port Project has been done in accordance
AGNIESHKA KIERA was Fremantle city council’s long-serving city architect, before her retirement some years ago. The Little Howard
Street resident is unhappy with the direction the council on development issues. She says it’s time for councillors who support big developments to point out the success stories.
with all applicable ordinances, including the sometimes tense community consultation and successful negotiations with Aboriginal elders. The heritage and community benefi ts served as the two prime drivers of its design, and the greatly improved patronage of the upgraded area demonstrates it was the right approach. Where is the evidence the Sunset Events’ proposal has undergone the same scrutiny and planning considerations, including identifi cation of tangible benefi ts to the community as a whole? 3. There is already evidence of vandalism on Arthur Head Reserve. Most of the heritage signs on Old Port and the interpretative reconstruction of the whaling station’s archaeological fi ndings have been damaged by vandals and subsequently removed by the council. What contingency does the council have in place to deal with the potential increase of vandalism generated by the additional crowds?4. I take exception to Cr Sullivan calling Fremantle “Dullsville”. It is disrespectful to residents like me, who worked hard and delivered tangible improvements to the City. The last time I checked Fremantle was the prime and most frequently visited tourist attraction of WA, the university town, the UNESCO-listed world heritage place and a busy state port. My friends from the US and Europe, who visited me recently after some years of absence, have reassured me the city centre looks cleaner, busier and classier than few years back, particularly the West End. It may not be enough in light of the council’s big aspirations, but it is a tangible improvement, due to many successful incremental
developments, celebrating Fremantle’s human scale and its heritage. All pre-dating and unrelated to the scheme amendment 49. 5. Are recent developments in Perth and Claremont what Cr Sullivan advocates for our city? If so, it would in my view be the end to Fremantle, as we know it. The council has ignored its own local identity code, the city-specifi c guide to compatible development, yet where is the evidence its facilitation of large-scale development has been successful? I have a copy of the conceptual design plan for the redevelopment of Point Street—one of potentially many design options based on the LIC, discarded up front by the council. Five years has passed since it instead adopted and promoted the feasibility plan for a much bigger development on this site. So where is it? 6. I would like the most outspoken elected member, Cr Andrew Sullivan, who by his own admission has been advocating big things for Fremantle, long before he joined the council, to substantiate his claims as described above. No more words, please, just the deeds. Could Cr Sullivan demonstrate the successfully completed, exceptionally well-designed high rise/high density development in Fremantle, which has delivered the promised benefi ts (ie, tangible increase of population, jobs, vitality, commercial viability, rates, better services, improved safety, attractive urban environment, sustainable future …. the lot). Or any other tangible benefi ts generated by recent development initiatives undertaken by the council?
To me Cr Sullivan’s public declarations ring hollow, if not disconcerting. The fact they infl uence the council’s decisions makes me doubt Fremantle’s future is in good hands. So I look forward to being convinced that Cr Sullivan is right and the objecting community members are wrong. I look forward to Cr Sullivan providing the long list of successfully completed, large-scale developments he has pushed for over the years, that have delivered the promised benefi ts to the city and its community as a whole.
‘Could Cr Sullivan demonstrate the successfully completed, exceptionally well-designed high rise/high density development in Fremantle, which has delivered the promised benefi ts?’
Where’s the proof?

Atwell intimidatesI CANNOT let the article about immunisation Herald (March 8, 2014) pass without comment.
I belonged to the AVN in the ‘80s and ‘90s while my three children were growing up. It was extremely hard to question the prevailing “wisdom” at the time and I found the AVN excellent, providing me with comprehensive information aimed at informing (not indoctrinating) people about the pros and cons immunisation.
When I fi rst contacted them they were very quick to let me know that they were not anti-immunisation but were for providing all sides of the story—something BigPharma certainly doesn’t do—nor do governments and nor do many doctors.
For me I’m on the side of informed choice. Those “alternative” people talked about are rarely uneducated and unthinking and have usually researched thoroughly before making their decision not to immunise. Most people
Welcome additionTHE new children’s hospital will be a welcome addition to our health services.
Instead of criticising, consider how lucky we are to be getting a new modern hospital. If the hospital was to add an additional fl oor, it would make the parking worse.
A far better solution would be to plan now, for two future children’s hospitals, one in the northern corridor and the other in the south near rail transport. Land for aff ordable accommodation should be planned close by for country parents. Accommodation could be built by private enterprise.

Drop the hateLAST week the federal government awarded a contract to Transfi eld for $1.22 billion to run a hostel to house 2400 refugees.
So the public forks out more than $508,000 per bed—$836 per bed per night for a 20-month contract. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to put them up in the Hilton?
Perhaps we should be glad the inmates are so poorly treated they riot and die. It saves $500,000 in tax per death. And this is only one of the costs of our brutal handling of the dispossessed.
There is also the cost of the Australian Navy making incursions into Indonesian waters. All that bad publicity when inmates do things like sew their lips together, because only extreme gruesomeness will shock our insensitivity to their plight.
All this because the Howard government cut a little-known few million dollars item from the budget that supported the UN human rights commission’s work in Indonesia, which created a market opening.
Babies overboard wins elections. Stirring up hate worked for Hitler. Should we move forward to the fi nal solution? It’s economically rational.
And we are just as easily manipulated into vilifying and despising targeted groups as the Germans were before World War II.
It is just an extension of wedge politics. Or do we continue to throw away vast quantities of money in a way that can only be justifi ed by the emotional blindness of intense hate?
Or do we embrace our Christian past and become good samaritans? Many Australians live a decent lifestyle on just 10 per cent of what Transfi eld will be paid per person per year and the majority of us get by on less than 20 per cent.
Treating these people in the way we would wish to be treated will be benefi cial for all of us.

Grey growlingDAMIEN’S comments (“Intimidating oldies,” Herald letters, March 8, 2014) demand a response. What he calls the “grey brigade” opposed the J-Shed development at the Fremantle council meeting. The fuddy duddies behaved badly. That’s true. Damien was a bit shocked. Sorry, mate.
But, Damien, I’m one of the grey brigade. We were the ones who bought houses in Fremantle in the 1970s and ‘80s. Attrition, it was. Some of us paid $80,000 for a house! Holey moley.
Surely that entitles us to veto anything we don’t like in our neighbourhood? My neighbourhood? Surely? Surely?
Just joking, Damien. You wrote a good letter and true. Come and join our organisation (wakeupfremantle.com.au).

herald lettersimmunise in the belief they are doing the right thing for their children because of the intimidating advertising backed by pharmaceutical companies.
It always pays to “look for the money” and fi nd out who benefi ts from having us all believe in something. Guess what, in this case it’s the pharmaceutical companies who benefi t massively.
So, Katie Atwell is doing a great job for them and I’m sure she is sincere in her intentions. But there are other points of view which rarely get heard.
Although I don’t like graffi ti, and I’m sure the AVN wouldn’t approve either, it is usually the preserve of those who don’t have money, trying to get a diff erent point of view across. The AVN doesn’t have a huge fi nancial backer like Katie Atwell does to produce fancy ads. Katie’s ads intimidate but don’t inform. Having a lovely young mum on a wall saying she immunises doesn’t inform us of anything but the fact that she immunises.

F A C T O R Y D I R E C T
by CASPER JUSTLOCAL bee enthusiasts are looking at setting up hives at FERN in Fremantle to help spread the word about their importance to the environment.
Organiser Ewan Buckley says WA has a rare disease-free environment for bees.
“It’s vital that people understand the importance of bees,” he says, noting without their pollinating power the world would lose one-third of its food supply.
Roger Maddrell didn’t have enough room in his own garden for bees, so he has come along to help with the hives: “What I fi nd most fascinating about bees is that there is always more to learn about them,” he tells the Herald.
Mr Buckley says people are blown away by how much honey a backyard hive can produce.
by STEVE GRANTTHE new owner of New Edition bookshop says he hasn’t bought the Freo institution as a charity case.
“Book sales for independent bookshops have gone up in the past couple of years,” says Alan Sheardown, whose purchase of the 30-year-old business was fi nalised last Friday.
Following Fremantle council’s intervention in New Edition’s almost-demise, the store will move down the road into a council-owned building at the corner of High and Henry Streets.
Its last trading day at its current location is Saturday March 15.
It will take over the ground fl oor from Armstrong Parkin Architects, which will move upstairs and double in size.
Mayor Brad Pettitt, who helped broker the purchase, was full of praise for the architects as losing street-front presence wasn’t part of their original expansion plans.
He says the council’s relationship with Mr Sheardown is strictly on a commercial basis at this stage but his description of a bookshop specialising in Fremantle authors being a “no-brainer” for the
council’s new business activation grants—worth up to $10,000 for fi t-outs and rent subsidies—should make Mr Sheardown smile.
“New Edition is an iconic Fremantle business, and
when I knew that James was thinking about closing it, it was good to start a conversation with him over coff ee about what the city could do,” Dr Pettitt says.
He was bombarded by emails and letters from local authors begging the council to intervene as rumours swirled about New Edition shutting for good.
Mr Sheardown says he’d been hearing the same rumours at his East Vic Park bookshop Crow Books.
Originally he’d wanted to buy the Northbridge branch of New Edition but owner James Calligaro took that off the market and will now rename it and work from there.
Mr Calligaro says he’s sad to be leaving Fremantle but could no longer wear the costs of running a bookstore in Fremantle, particularly one with a
footprint as large as New Edition (his lease is for the building’s two storeys).
“This is probably one of the busiest shops in town. There are certain people that come in every day,” Mr Calligaro told the Herald. “And the website was just starting to work.”
Mr Sheardown says he has a strong historic connection to Fremantle, with his great-grandfather the chief superintendent of the prison, and his nanna lived in Henderson Street.
According to Scribe Publishing founder Henry Rosenbloom, independent booksellers are reaping the rewards from reduced competition caused by the collapse of corporate retailers Borders and Angus & Robertson and the high Australian dollar.
“There are even some signs that customers are rediscovering the special pleasures and benefi ts that only a physical bookshop can provide,” he blogged in 2012.
But he also warned that independents will struggle against ebooks in the near future and there are rumours online giant Amazon is going to set up an Australian arm, which could provide a knockout punch.

by CARMELO AMALFIA FIGMENT of their imagination is how staff at Melville council describe residents’ complaints about a 75m pedestrian accessway in Bateman.
Responding to demands from locals to close the unlit lane linking Tintal and Renou ways, staff say there have been no complaints of anti-social behaviour since the fi rst petition for its closure fi ve years ago.
“Furthermore, Murdoch police and the city’s community security services do not highlight the area as a hotspot for crime or anti-social behaviour,” staff advised the council.
“It appears the safety or security issues raised by the applicant and submitters in support of the closure may be perceived issues rather than issues that are actually occurring.
“It is acknowledged however that anti-social or crime instances may be occurring and going unreported by residents.”
Tintal Way’s Phil Dean says most homes that back onto the dog-leg are touched by crime—including his own.
With no clear line of sight
by CLARE KENYONARCHIBALD street in Willagee is in line for a facelift due to the suburb’s recent rezoning.
Melville council’s plan to redevelop the area includes a four-storey mixed use development and changes to public parks and open spaces.
The project has a 10-year window.Local real estate agent Stephen Holmes is
holding a public forum Wednesday to run through the changes and what he says will be the benefi ts for the area.
“I see a lot of potential in this area and the plan will change the whole feel of the suburb,” he told the Herald.
“It will see a lot of boutique shops come in to the area and increase business along Archibald Street. It’s a fantastic step towards creating a good community feel.”
Mr Holmes says commercial construction will begin immediately and, come December, people can apply for residential permits.
The forum is at Winnacott Reserve Club rooms, March 19, at 6.30pm.
from either end, intruders jump fences to enter homes or torch dry bush along the lane, he says.
He claims to have been burgled.
Closure was advertised last year but council received 15 objections, including a multi-signatory letter from 39 people wanting it kept open. Only four supported the closure.
Council staff say closing the lane penalises people who use it as a short cut to Murdoch train
station. Children use it to walk to Yidarra primary and Corpus Christi College.
“Although the PAW does not substantially reduce the distance travelled to the above-mentioned locations, it is noted none of the adjacent streets have footpaths, and the land formation is undulating, therefore the PAW provides a shorter, more convenient and safer route for pedestrians,” says the staff report.

Paco Peña is regarded as one of the world’s foremost traditional Flamenco guitar players.
Born in Córdoba, Spain, Peña began learning to play the guitar at age 6 and made his fi rst professional appearance at 12. Encouraged by his family, he left home and began performing throughout Spain, leading to calls from professional Flamenco companies in Madrid and the Costa Brava, where Peña established himself as a highly-regarded accompanist to Flamenco dance and singing.
Seeking a new challenge, he moved to London in the late 1960s where he generated so much interest among a British public previously uninitiated in Flamenco that he soon found himself sharing concerts with artists such as Jimi Hendrix.
It was not long before Peña was touring the world, both as a soloist and an accompanist with performances at Carnegie Hall in New York City, the Royal Albert Hall in London and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
He later founded the world’s fi rst university course on fl amenco guitar, at the Rotterdam conservatory of music.
Celebrating its 25th year in 2014, the Alliance Française French Film Festival is a highly anticipated and extremely popular event on the Australian cultural calendar.
It is not only the biggest fi lm festival in Australia; it is also the biggest festival of French fi lms outside of France.

LITTLE old ladies rushed to turn off hearing aids and Perth CBD shop keepers—
fearing a riot was underway—hastily shut their doors as WA’s first samba band Sambanistas noisily paraded through the city 24 years ago.
The City of Perth banned the group from entering the capital.
“We were banned at least three times, while I was [musical director],” Richie Glasgow tells the Herald.
Not much was known about Brazilian samba music at the time and the outlandish costumes and loud percussion were looked at askance.
But when the band took to the streets for the (now-defunct) Northbridge festival hundreds danced in the street, much to the chagrin of organisers.
Police were called in to head things off : “If that happened in the UK the first thing would be the police car would be turned over, then the [shops] would be turned over, and then there would be a riot,” Glasgow sighs, wistfully.
But this was laid-back Perth and the coppers simply herded the band into the cultural centre where the party continued for a bit longer.
These days WA has six samba groups and all regard Glasgow as the man who made it all happen.
He moved to NSW a few years ago but is back in town at the end of the month for the fi rst Samba Summit—a gathering of the clans in Fremantle that will showcase their various styles.
“It’s well overdue,” he says. “There’s been an incredible cross pollination between the groups.”
Wasamba musical director Ben Bowtell is the man behind the summit, having kicked the idea around with Sambanistas MD, simply known as Rambo in the samba world.
“It’s a chance to see all the other groups perform, because we are always in the same parades,” Bowtell says.
A modest show had originally been envisioned but the response has been extraordinary.
“We hoped to get to where we are now as a fi ve-year plan,” Bowtell says.
With Rio gearing up to host the
Olympics in 2016, the world is set to go mad for everything Brazil—a country of 200 million people that’s slated to be a superpower of the 21st century. The Samba Summit is a chance for locals to learn a little about Brazilian culture ahead of the global crowd.
Brazil WA has thrown its support behind the summit, a Queensland music shop donated more than $1000 in equipment as prizes, and Mega Music in Myaree came on board as a major sponsor.
There’ll be performances by the various samba bands—Wasamba, Beleza, Sambanistas, Bassonovas, Bloco Do Norte and the Rio Margaritas (up from Margaret River)—and Perth’s only government school samba band, hailing from Ellenbrook, will also perform.
Samba dancers in traditional Brazilian costumes will strut their stuff on stage, DJs will keep the pace rolling between sets, and Brazilian singer Juliana Areias will perform alongside the cool sounds of Perth Samba Social Club.
There’ll be stalls full of samba-associated gear and musical equipment and crowds can try traditional Brazilian barbecue, sip on Brazil’s national cocktail caipirinha, made with sugar cane liquor, sugar and lime, or imbibe an icy brew from Little Creatures, also a sponsor.
The Samba Summit is open to everyone, any age, who has a little bit of samba in their toes. It’s on at the Fremantle Town Hall, Sunday March 30, 5.30–10pm.

herald at homeWILLIAM PEARSE’S
butcher’s shop, roofed in sheoak
shingles, graced this High Street, Fremantle site in the 1850s.
With the port city’s fortunes riding high on the back of the gold boom it went to make way for a grand three-storey building in 1907.
Step into the entry foyer from the street and you’ll fi nd a mellow marble slab with large black lettering proclaiming its provenance as the Central Chambers.
It’s been a few things since then, including a surplus store and Aboriginal art emporium, and in 1994 the upper level was converted into two luxurious apartments.
I often gaze up at West End’s apartments perched on top of its Victorian buildings, intrigued by glimpses of gardens peeping over parapets and was delighted to get the chance to check one out up close.
A magnifi cent jarrah staircase leads to the upper level, lit by a massive stained glass window.
The fi rst things to strike me as I step inside this four-bedroom abode are soaring spaces, light and ceilings so high they seem to disappear (in reality they’re 4.25 metres).
Catching my breath I also took in mellow pine fl oors, stunning ceiling roses and an assortment of old fi replaces.
No doubt the open-plan living/dining/kitchen was once a series of small rooms but walls have been ripped out to create a voluminous space that is elegant
and charming.The massive arched windows
have beautiful plantation shutters instead of curtains, even in the huge kitchen.
Old meets new here with sleek black granite bench tops, plenty of drawer and cupboard space and a fi ve-burner stove which all sit comfortably with an old coal fi replace and carved
timber mantle.The main bedroom is on this
middle level, a prodigious space bigger than some apartments I’ve seen.
Lovely grey-fl ecked white marble has been used in the ensuite, which has double vanities.
I was excited about climbing to the top level, and wasn’t disappointed, with views across Fremantle’s eclectic roof tops from the upper level bedrooms, which are off a spacious sitting area.
Step out onto the rooftop terrace and you can see the port and maritime museum, Garden and Carnac Islands and the length of High Street to the town hall and Round House.
It’s a view not many get to appreciate and always gives me a thrill.
The timber terrace isn’t looking as spiffi ng as its neighbour, which is lush with large potted trees and plenty of shrubbery.
I’m not sure how you get big fl ower pots up this high but I’d be fi nding out and turning this space into a green oasis: it wouldn’t take much.
This apartment comes with four secure parking spaces—no doubt great for visitors, because this close to all the action that Fremantle boasts you won’t need more than one car. And the train station is a short stroll.

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.

SKIP has been working tirelessly for more than fi ve years raising money for kids in some of the world’s poorest nations. Proceeds from the movie will go to Be Kids, which provides education and social support in countries such as Kenya and Timor Leste. It’s on at the Cygnet in Como, Sunday March 16, 3.30pm. Tix $20.

ERALD
FREMANTLE is set to lose
the bulk-billing GP clinic at
Fremantle Hospital within
weeks.
The 22-year-old service, run
by three dedicated doctors as a
non-pro t charitable trust, is to be
replaced by a commercial operator.
The Barnett government last
week told Fremantle Hospital
General Practice it had just four
weeks to shut its doors.
Clinic director Trenna Turner
says 20,000 patients are on
le—many of them elderly, poor,
unemployed, homeless and from
ethnic background—and there’s
already a GP shortage in the area.
“The patients are my concern,
I’d hate for some of them to
out we are closing down through
the media,” she told the
“It’s very dif

the non-pro
follow its request for
to cover a doctor shortage.
“One of our doctors died at
Christmas and we have struggled
to replace him,” she said.
“It’s dif
ours to
when we compete with private
practices that pay more.”
MELVILLE residents will
be able to build pergolas,
basketball hoops, garden
sheds and cubby houses
without enduring the cost
and inconvenience of formal
application—if the council
approves a plan to slash red
tape.Last year council received
more than 400 applications for
minor adjustments or additions to
homes, clogging up the planning
department.
Under the new proposal
residents can build “minor
xtures” and “minor
appurtenances” so long as they
meet certain criteria.
For example, a shed can’t be
higher than 2.4 metres, a pergola
can’t cover more than two-thirds
of a back or front yard, and there’s
to be no more than one ag pole,
basketball, or netball hoop on a
property.
The report estimates the council
will lose around $55,000 a year
in foregone fees, but this will be
made up by saving on staff time,
and freeing them up to deal with
costlier applications.
“The minor scale of these
proposals means that their
resultant impacts are similarly
minimal, to the extent that
they can be readily managed
via the introduction of new
speci c minimum development
requirements,” the report reads.
Councillors will vote on the
amendment this month.

FREMANTLEHERALD
by STEVE GRANTAMENDMENT 49 sailed through
Fremantle council Wednesday night.
The changes to the council’s city planning scheme, touted as the biggest to hit Fremantle since
CY O’Connor’s harbour was built,
will now be sent to WA planning
minister John Day for approval after winning unanimous support
from councillors.Despite his support for the amendment, Cr Jon Strachan presented a 732-signature petition
calling for a maximum six storeys. It was not supported (the
Woolstores shopping centre site will be allowed 10 storeys).
Councillors remained stony-faced as the petition was presented,
while the Chook detected a slightly
dismissive tone in the voice of CEO
Graeme Mackenzie as he pointed
out almost half the signatures came
from non-residents.Cr Josh Wilson said it was appropriate for people in wider Fremantle to comment on the city’s future, but while he had taken opposition into account he
remained convinced the council was making the right decision.
The amendment couldn’t get through without one last controversy: Cr Rob Fittock cast a throwaway line he was more impressed by 231 signatures from dog lovers wanting access to Gilbert Fraser Oval in North Fremantle than the petition’s 732.
That earned him a withering glare from Fremantle Society president Roel Loopers, who passed a furiously scribbled note
across the chamber to the Chook:
“Statement by Fittock about PSA 49
petition is arrogant, insulting and
offensive,” it grumped.
by BRAD JEFFERIESTWO local Liberal MPs are demanding the immediate shutdown of the SMRC waste composting plant at Canning Vale, saying attempts to x the smells have failed and the place has run out of chances.
Their demand sought to pre-empt any decision by the WA environment department to extend
a temporary operational licence. That decision was expected yesterday (Friday March 30, 2012).
Jandakot MP Joe Francis and Riverton MP Mike Nahan—who occupy two of the Liberal-National
government’s most marginal seats—are demanding that premier Colin Barnett deal with the issue once and for all.“Colin said he’s going to take
it up,” Mr Francis told the Herald. “If he can’t take it up, there’s something wrong with democracy.
“This blatant and cynical disregard for the welfare and comfort of families in the neighbourhood cannot continue.
“The plant must be closed immediately.”Mr Nahan—a one-term MP
facing a challenge from Kim Beazley’s daughter Hannah—says,
“the plant should be closed and it should remain closed and not be allowed to resume operations until its odour problems are totally
eliminated”.The MPs say a hotline has

to us...we’ve put all our cards on the table.”
“I want direction from them this week, and I’d be disappointed
if we don’t get it.”A community odour hotline has registered more than 120 complaints this year: The SMRC’s of cial odour hotline has registered just 10. SMRC acting CEO Tim Youe
says the plant, owned jointly by local councils, is an important community facility.“If the RRRC ceases operation,
tens of thousands of tonnes of waste will be sent to land ll per year, resulting in a negative impact
on the environment and local business.”
Kidogo calls in the craneby ALLI ORPOFTHE heritage-listed building
that houses Kidogo Arthouse will move 100 metres closer
to Bathers Beach this Sunday, April 1 in a move expected to cost Fremantle council just under $1 million.“The building will be a
centrepiece of the new ocean pool project, which is to be named Frail
Pool in honour of the Frail Whale Flensing Company that used to operate from the beach,” mayor Brad Pettitt said.“Engineers assure us the
building can be cut from its foundations and pretty much picked up and put down without any heritage damage.”“It’s quite exciting to think
that people will be swimming and enjoying a spot where whale blubber used to coat the sands,” said Swedish project manager Ollia Forp. “But I suppose fat people on the beach should be careful just in case,” she laughed.
The Kidogo building is scheduled to move at 11.59am on Sunday April 1, 2012—which is April Fool’s Day.

THE doctor who set up the
Fremantle Hospital GP clinic
says the hospital’s emergency
department will be overrun by
non-critical patients when the
bulk-billing clinic closes.
Professor Max Kamien says
patients with social problems and
drug addictions will walk into
the casualty department rather
than seek out a new GP. They will
“mess up the system” and won’t
receive appropriate care.
“The truth is, no GP clinic
looking after disadvantaged
patients and practicising good
medicine—by this I mean a
holistic approach including social
welfare—will [commercially]
survive,” Prof Kamien says.
“You need to nd a saint, a
series of saints, who are willing
to work for maybe $50,000, and
they’re hard to nd.
‘Just survive’
“The patients are all Medicare
patients, you can just survive
if those patients are seen
disappointing.”

Meditation & Buddhism
by BRENDAN FOSTERA FRENCH busker has pleaded guilty to a charge of assault after snipping a lock of hair from a festival-goer at last weekend’s Fremantle Street Arts Festival.
Madcap mime artist Rodolphe Couthouis—aka Flochard—was given a spent conviction, but was slugged $125 in court costs.
“Everything is over and I’m a free man!” he laughed. “I am not a haircut criminal.”
Mr Couthouis says a woman who later insisted on his being charged had burst out laughing when he snipped off a ringlet while performing his rst show Blah Blah Blah on Easter Saturday.
“During the show, when I can see someone without hair on his head, I look at someone with long hair, and think maybe I can help the person with no hair,” he told the Herald. “I go to my bag and get my scissors out, come next to the woman and cut a little piece of hair and put it on his head.
“I did it very slowly—three times I look at her, look at him, so she can see what I’m doing.
by BRENDAN FOSTEREVIDENCE has emerged the Barnett government instructed public servants to pay Homeswest contractor Trans eld regardless of the quality of work done.
An email marked “high importance”—issued to WA housing department property services two years ago, just after Trans eld was appointed—said all invoices “must be paid as submitted without fail” even in cases of ”non-compliance”.
“She laughed and everybody laughed.”
The street artist was gobsmacked when the cops phoned, asking him to head down to the Fremantle police station so he could be charged with assault.
The Herald understands Fremantle city council—the festival’s organiser—tried to head things off by offering the aggrieved woman a free haircut and 50 bucks, but she wouldn’t have a bar of it.
“I was thinking this must be a joke—are you kidding?” Mr Couthouis said. “I spent a long time at the of ce, trying to nd a solution, trying to nd a lawyer, worrying what’s going to happen.
“It’s so stupid and ridiculous.”Originally told to front the
Fremantle Magistrates Court on May 11 he pleaded for the case to be brought forward to Thursday April 12 as he was due to y out that night.
The Frenchman said he wouldn’t be changing his routine anytime soon: “I did it 50 times during my shows and never had a problem,” he said. “It seems like a lot of problem for a piece of hair.
“I didn’t cut her nger off.” • Rodolphe Couthouis—aka Flochard—surrenders to a hair-raising charge of assault. Photo by Steve Grant• More festival photos by Matthew Dwyer on pages 6 and 7.
Unkind cut for French artist
Blank chequeThe Labor opposition has
seized on the memo as evidence of maladministration.
WA planning shadow and Willagee MP Peter Tinley—who has doggedly pursued the department’s troubled relationship with Trans eld—now wants the Corruption and Crime Commission and WA auditor-general to get involved.
“I have been given signi cant evidence of jobs that were paid to the head contractors by the department of housing that the head contractor failed to complete,” Mr Tinley told the
Herald. “The jobs were ultimately given by the department to contractors outside of the head contractor model to complete, so these jobs were paid for twice.”
Mr Tinley grilled WA housing minister Troy Buswell in state parliament last week about contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and the reply was, “what’s the problem?”
“This is a minister who until only a few weeks ago was denying there were any problems at all within the failed privatisation until the evidence became so overwhelming he was forced to
acknowledge problems with the ‘implementation’,” Mr Tinley said.
Meanwhile, Mr Buswell has referred Mr Tinley to the CCC after the Willagee MP attacked Homeswest for demanding that neighbours of Homeswest properties share the cost of replacing asbestos fences.
Mr Buswell says Mr Tinley owns such a home and would have received one of the letters, and that he should have publicly disclosed his nancial interest.
Mr Tinley says he never received a letter and hasn’t been asked to contribute.For details, see the Competitions page

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Though everything seems upside down, life unfolds swimmingly. This just goes
to show that existence is more creative than even our most inverted expectations. In going gently, doors open and kindness comes fl ooding your way. Treat each circumstance with eyes of wonder.
TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)Life is being quirky. It’s not behaving according to expectations. Nevertheless it
is providing countless strange but benefi cial blessings. Venus is in Aquarius, stirring up unorthodox winds. Though you crave solid foundations, they might be put into place in unexpected ways.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) Communication is important. There is a brief window of opportunity here, to
put ideas forward and have some hope that they will be listened to. Ride on the wings of Mercury, before he drops into the silences of Pisces. Don’t let life lull you into submission. Be active in your cause.
CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)Use those things that appear to be obstacles, as your foundations. There
are certain things that aren’t going to be moving. Know what they are and don’t fi ght with them. See where the fl ow is and place your chips there. Listen to your longing. Listen to your intuition. Be alert.
LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)Take this as a quiet time. There is no spotlight identifying your shape
and form. There is no audience witnessing you, or deceiving you into thinking that what they imagine, is who you are. You are free – in a very quiet, unbothered way. Know where you are. Adjust accordingly.
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)The Moon begins her week in Virgo. She lifts your spirits. As she hits fullness, she has you
bursting at the seams with the empathy, understanding and acceptance that has been eluding you. Once we listen to and understand a person’s story, their behaviour makes perfect sense.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)Though you would like to relate, you haven’t quite got your eye in. Trying to
understand feelings, using thoughts, always invokes a fraught dialogue. It is you who is going to have to shift on your axis here. Come down into your heart, or your belly – or better still, your feet - and listen.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)The mind is up to a thousand tricks. It is sending you all sorts of
thought patterns seemingly designed to throw you wildly off track. Don’t be thrown off track. Your sense of direction is spot on and you have plenty of support from existence – probably in the form of good friends.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)Keep it light. All that is being thrown at you is more simple than it looks at fi rst glance. If
things get diffi cult, it will be because you have somehow made them diffi cult. The capacity to perceive directly minus any fi lters, is one of your strengths. Make use of it. Guide yourself properly.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)The easy path involves acknowledging where your limits are and addressing
them. You really don’t have to climb up a bare cliff-face with bare hands, feeling lonesome and heroic. You aren’t alone - and taking the hard path is not heroism. Lay down your arms and open your heart.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Venus is charging you up with Eros and adventure. This can be a particularly
sublime combination, if you are interested and open to it. Essentially, the week, maybe the month, is to be dedicated to a meditation on delight. Don’t be clumsy. Be subtle. Find it in the little things.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)You have the power of the Sun in your sign. The Sun is pumping out energy
and light from the very heart of your quarter of the sky. The Sun ignites the heart. As your passions rise, rise with them. Don’t dampen them. This is no moment to be a cold-blooded fi sh. Get heated up.
