MUSSA GATERA’S parents and fi ve siblings were murdered in Rwanda’s 100-day genocide.

By the time the 1994 atrocity ended—with the international community having hardly lifted a finger to intervene—800,000 Rwandan men, women and children were dead, killed by machine-guns, machetes and fl ames.

Mr Gatera and his only surviving brother, both of them Tutsis, fl ed to South Africa in 1999 but trouble followed. In 2008 Mr Gatera’s brother was murdered and his shop burned down during a race riot.

A distraught Mr Gatera, who is now 37, entered Australia as a refugee in 2008 to rebuild his shattered life. He works as a Red Cross carer, looking after children with disabilities, including those with autism and epilepsy.

He married a Rwandan woman he’d met in Perth, has fathered a two-year old girl and is slowly starting to heal.

“I heard that the situation in Rwanda is now relatively stable but I never want to go back there in case I meet the people that killed my family,” Mr Gatera says.

“I was in my fi rst year at college when I heard that my parents had

been murdered, it was awful.“I have no family there and

nothing to go back for.”The exhibition Lessons from

Rwanda kickstarts Refugee Week in Perth.

WA Governor and UN patron Malcolm McCusker says everyone has a responsibility to stop genocide.

“We all have a role to play in the prevention of genocide: government representatives, civil society organisations, the media, religious groups and each and every one of us,” he said.

“Understanding the warning signs that lead to such tragic events is a key part of prevention and the

Lessons from Rwanda exhibition is an important contribution to that effort.”

Mr Gatera wanted to attend the exhibition launch Monday morning but thought it more important he help an elderly client with quadriplegia get out of bed.

He managed to make it along later to meet Voice photographer Jeremy Dixon on Tuesday. The photos prompted floods of tears and he took 20 minutes to compose himself. Choking back tears, he said: “We can learn to forgive, but we should never forget.”

RESIDENTS in East Perth say this photo illustrates the “arrogance” of the Hanson Concrete plant.

However, it might just end up costing the driver his livelihood.

The driver parked illegally, against the fl ow of traffi c in a no-stopping zone on his way to grab a bite to eat from the Murchison Terrace deli.

Claisebrook resident Ryonen Butcher says the trucks are too big for the small streets: “Unfortunately we have to live with this sort of arrogance every day,” she said.

Hanson was recently granted a fi ve-year extension on its operating licence, which had been set to expire.

“The Claisebrook North Precinct is not a heavy industry area, it is home to a diverse mix of residents and commercial premises,” Ms Butcher said.

“Can someone please explain to me how this driver behaviour fi ts with the four pages of strict conditions imposed on the batching plants that we keep hearing about?”

The extension imposed strict conditions including close monitoring, dust and cement management, noise attenuation and four pages of restrictions.

THE WA government will spend at least $1.3 million dismantling the Florence Hummerston building on the Esplanade.

That’s on top of the $13m the government is expected to be billed for breaking the remaining 33 years the Grand Palace Chinese Restaurant has on its lease of the heritage-listed building.

A Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority tender document estimates the dismantling will cost $1,354,313.

David Whitely, a bugle for WA planning minister John Day, says the cost has been factored into the project budget and is not an additional cost.

WA heritage shadow John Hyde describes the dismantling and its cost as ”heritage madness”.

“[Heritage] minister Castrilli

• The driver stopped for a sly pie on the fl y. Photo supplied

Hanson manager John Symonds described the pie-stop as ”appalling”.

“Thank you for your notifi cation of the appalling actions of our truck driver,” he wrote.

“We assure you that Hanson does not take these matters lightly and the driver of this vehicle will be disciplined accordingly.

“The interaction with the local community as it is with all road users is important to Hanson and we expect that all of our drivers undertake their role

in a courteous, safe and legal manner.”

Mr Symonds says drivers are encouraged to stick to main thoroughfares but notes trucks are permitted to travel, generally, on all suburban streets.

Perth Labor MP John Hyde, who campaigned strongly against the plant’s extension, had little sympathy for the truckie. “The trucks keep spilling loads on local roads, fail to stop at intersections and don’t give way,” he told the Voice.

“Now they think they can park anywhere.”

Truck stop trouble

confi rmed to me in Budget estimates that the heritage council had rightly advised against moving an important piece of state heritage,” the Perth Labor MP said

“Now we discover the Barnett government has issued a tender of $1.4m to dismantle the building.

“They don’t know where they’ll put the bits and pieces into storage and they don’t know where they’ll rebuild it.”

Mr Day admits he doesn’t know where the building will end up once it’s taken down.

“The original 1928 component of the building will be deconstructed and moved to a suitable new location. Later additions to the building which are of a lesser heritage value, such as the dressing rooms, will be demolished.”

He expects work to happen later this year.

The kiosk was named for Perth’s fi rst female councillor.

Big bill to break up the Florence by DAVID BELL

WA local government minister John Castrilli has caved to pressure from councils to let them charge high interest on late rates payments.

Last month the Voice reported Vincent council was looking at a $100,000 hole in its budget because the WA government suddenly lowered the amount councils could fi ne people who pay their rates late.

The ruling was despite state bodies like Synergy being allowed to charge up to 11 per cent on late payments.

At the Vincent budget meeting mayor Alannah MacTiernan reported Mr Castrilli had backtracked.

Councils will now be allowed to charge the full 11 per cent instead of the reduced seven per cent.

Perth Labor MP John Hyde described the reversal as “an embarrassing backfl ip”.

SECTIONS of the Rainbow Lodge backpackers’ in East Perth has been declared “unfi t for habitation” after a series of raids by Vincent city council.

The council and WA Fire Brigade conducted three inspections of the Claisebrook Road premises last Friday.

It discovered the lodge was accommodating 171 backpackers without required planning, health and building approvals.

The property is approved only as an educational facility, with accommodation for up to 65 people.

On the advice of the three attending fi re fi ghters four rooms were declared “unfi t for human habitation” and not to be occupied, with immediate effect.

The lodge had previously been on Summers Street and hadn’t got a good rap from

A FACEBOOK campaign to change the Barnett government’s mind on the new waterfront project has attracted up to 18,000 hits a day from people posting alternative views and designs.

Some can be viewed at www.facebook.com/betterwaterfront, set up as part of a competition to outshine the government’s preferred Elizabeth Quay design at www.mra.wa.gov.au.

Curtin University planning student Sam McLeod believes the online competition might still turn the tide of waterfront design, despite the government fl ipping the fi rst sods in April.

“We are fi ghting for a better plan for the Perth Waterfront, one designed by and for the people of WA,” Mr McLeod says.

“We are seeking to collect sketches, maps or computer-renderings of what you think the future Perth Waterfront could look like.

“Together, these ideas will develop an over-arching theme that refl ects what the community values in in its ideal Perth Waterfront.”

The winning design—the design with the most “likes”—will be chosen after online entries close July 31. The winner will receive a $1000 prize funded by lobby group, The City Gatekeepers.

“We will take the most popular themes to the State Government and lobby the state government to reconsider the proposed development.”

A minder in WA planning minister John Day’s offi ce

described the campaign as irrelevant, with contracts worth $50 million signed and construction already starting on the $2.6 billion project to create a new inlet and Riverside Drive.

Bugle David Whitely says the contracts will be signed this year. With the design of the inlet set, excavations of the foreshore is expected later this year too.

Major works contracts worth $200 million are expected to be signed by September and October. “They can protest, they can agitate . . . at the end of the day, the project is underway,” he told the Voice. “The competition is academic.”

travelers on on www.tripadvisor.com. Several rated it as “terrible”:

Cora12 from Munich posted that “in the kitchen was a mouse and several cockroaches.”

Manager Dan Cumby later posted a response advising her that the business had moved premises and “all issues have been addressed.

“We have a large and clean hostel right around the corner

from the old one,” he assured her.

But Dublin’s Robert M wasn’t impressed. “I’d rather sleep under a bridge than go there,” he said about the new site.

The council said it has since conducted more inspections to ensure compliance. The site was formerly the HQ of Youth With A Mission Perth, a non-profi t Christian missionary outfi t.

Too squalid, even for backpackers

Future regrets for historyWHEN the late Sir David Brand retired as premier he was asked, “do you have any regrets?”

He replied, “Yes, that I had approved the demolition of the Soldiers’ Barracks across from Parliament House”.

When Colin Barnett retires and is asked the same question, he will reply: “Yes, I regret that I had approved the demolition of our heritage site on the Perth foreshore and replaced it with high-rise boxes.”

William BoothQueen St, Bentley

Peak-hour piqueIN his letter (Voice Mail, June 16, 2012) the Maylands Liberal candidate boasts about money the Barnett government is spending to upgrade Bayswater train station.

Dogged factsI SUGGEST you get your facts right before publishing such silly articles (“Who let the dogs in,” Voice, June 16, 2012).

Dogs are banned from alfresco areas of licensed restaurants (WA Food Act) but welcome at alfresco areas of unlicensed restaurants and cafes.

One day we might catch up with more civilised society and allow dogs, obviously under control, inside, such as in France. In Germany one can buy a dog ticket for public transport.

Uni yards are a classic example, being licensed, no dogs allowed, even outside. So much for the Swan Valley and Margaret River tourism. Hotel beer gardens also a no-no.

Hook, line and stinkerIT was with some hilarity, but more than a touch of concern, that I got my fi rst look at the West Australian’s posters this morning: “Marine Park Plan Puts End to Fishing” they bleated.

I’m a recreational fi sherman and in the past I’ve worked on professional boats. Yesterday I had a long look at the federal government maps detailing where new marine sanctuaries will be. And I was rather pleased.

It looks like the feds are proposing to protect parts of areas heavily targeted by commercial boats in the past, which now need recovery (eg, the south-west rock lobster, demersal fi sh and shark fi sheries). It also looks like they’ve included breeding and aggregation areas and places needing signifi cant scientifi c research before commercial fi shing is allowed (eg, the Rottnest Canyon). Finally, even at a very rough guess, it looks like well over 85 per cent of our inshore waters are still available to recreational fi shermen.

It’s a plan that will leave recreational fi shermen with higher stocks, and more and bigger fi sh to catch. That’s something to be welcomed.

Which leaves me wondering whether the editor of the West might have been hitting the Cap’n’s special sauce a bit too hard of late..

Dougie MackCavendish St, Highgate

I bean thinking...WHEN supermarket and coffee shop prices come down then I might, just might, believe the economy could be on the up.

Bill ProudeFirst Ave, Mt LawleyThe Ed says: Interesting logic there,

Bill.

But I wonder when was the last time Sylvan Albert caught a train on the Midland line, particularly during peak-hour?

If he did, Mr Albert would discover train overcrowding is the real issue affecting users, not the improved appearance of Bayswater train station that this proposed “facelift” will bring.

Mr Albert’s claim the government is buying 45 new train carriages also reveals his ignorance— every one of them will go into service on the Mandurah and Joondalup lines. No carriages will come to the Midland line.

Mr Albert says he is proud to be a member of the Barnett Liberal team. As a voter and a commuter I would therefore like to ask Mr Albert to lobby the Liberal team to purchase more train carriages for the Midland line.

Commuters like me have had enough of missing peak-hour trains because there is no room to squeeze on.

Worried about keeping your home safe andsecure while you’re on holidays,

at work or even in the house? The most important item in making your home safe from intruders is often overlooked when security is considered. Of course it’s your meterbox! The meterbox is like the heart of your home - without power you have no lights, no cordless phone, no elec-tricity and in some cases no security systemThieves can switch off your power at the meterbox just to see if you have an active alarm system. Don’t rely on back-up batteries - they frequently fail be-cause the use by date has been overlooked. Thieves would much rather go elsewhere than rob your home if the meterboxes are professionally locked up by the Meterbox Man. Locking your meterbox is recommended by the Police, Western Power, Alinta Gas, RAC and all insurance companies. So for peace of mind and a safer home call the Meterbox Man.

LEEDERVILLE’S Natalie Ragus teaches children by day and dances on a pole at night.

The 43-year-old ushers kids with learning diffi culties past the pole in her house to her study, where she teaches numeracy and literacy.

She even lets the kids have a spin to burn off excess energy before lessons.

“They love it—it helps them concentrate in the class,” she says.

“I used to work at a private boy’s school, so I had to call it ‘gymnastics’ there.

“But now I teach privately from my

own home, I can be open about it, the parents don’t mind—they can’t really ignore the pole in the room,” she laughs.

Ragus, who has been pole dancing for six years, will compete in the WA heat of Miss Pole Dance Australia at Bobbi’s Pole Studio on Saturday.

Bobbi’s manager Brooke Vivoda says pole dancing entered the exercise mainstream in the early noughties, with studios popping up across Australia.

Bobbi’s now holds classes for around 350 students a week at its East Perth studio. “It gives women the exciting opportunity to learn pole-dancing as a form of exercise in a safe fi tness environment without working in the industry,” Ms Vivoda says.

“Apart from having fun, the overall goal of the competition is to show the public that pole-dancing is an extremely challenging sport as well as a graceful and impressive art.”

Ragus, a former phys-ed teacher and tennis coach, also does aerial silks and trapeze in her spare time.

She is candid in her appraisal of pole-dancing’s appeal.

“It runs the full spectrum from gymnastics to the more sexy, raunchy stuff,” she said.

“Competitors and the public can take what they want from it.

“It’s quite tame compared to some of the burlesque acts nowadays; they get away with a lot more!”

TWO Staffordshire bull terriers that killed a poodle in Bedford will be destroyed.

Michelle Green’s Maltese cross “Harley” was ripped apart after the two staf fi es forced their way into her front yard and set upon the poodle on May 12.

Ms Green says Bayswater city council has told her the owners had surrendered the dogs and they will be euthanised.

“We are happy with the outcome—the dogs should be off the streets and destroyed,” she told the Voice.

“The owners have offered us $800, once they get their tax rebate, for us to buy a new dog.

“They seem like decent people and I am happy with the overall outcome.”

It’s understood the doomed dogs escaped from their secured backyard during bad weather. The remorseful owners may yet face action from the council and a potential $10,000 fi ne. Ms Green says she won’t be pursuing any separate legal action.

MT HAWTHORN residents are upset about the impacts of planned freeway widening on Lake Monger.

A number called Perth Labor MP John Hyde after spotting new metal pegs, labelled “ROAD BOUNDARY CORNER“, beside the lake’s dual-use path.

The stakes are just metres from the conservation area and near the freeway footbridge connecting Lake Monger to Britannia Reserve.

The picturesque reserve—a favourite with joggers and pram-walkers—is a popular tourist site and attracts up to 12,000 visitors a week.

The lake is home to around 38 species of birds, particularly iconic black swans, and supports long-necked turtles and large skinks.

Main Roads WA bugle Lynette Scolt says there are no plans to widen the lakeside of the freeway. but the

department is adding a fi fth lane to the railway line side of the north-bound carriageway.

“These pegs most likely mark the road reservation boundary in this area, and certainly not any future road boundary,” she said.

But Mr Hyde says Main Roads told him something different at a briefi ng.

“Main Roads told me that in the future they may still attempt to build an extra access lane onto the freeway for 1600m along the southern corner of the conservation area, but this would require public consultation and extensive environmental assessment taking 18 months,” he said.

“The Barnett Government needs to guarantee there will be no encroachment into this conservation area.

“It is only under threat because the closure of Riverside Drive will put more cars onto the freeway.”

COMPULSORY helmet laws may have to go if bike hire schemes are to succeed, Perth lord mayor Lisa Scaffi di says.

In Perth city council’s new draft cycle plan there’s an idea for a bike hire scheme but the report states, “legislation surrounding compulsory helmet usage has been cited as a deterrent to the success of these national bike hire schemes”.

Ms Scaffi di is open to the idea if it’ll help the schemes succeed. She says cities like New York, Paris and Barcelona have bike hire schemes and cyclists do fi ne without helmet laws.

by STEPHEN POLLOCK

PERTH lord mayor Lisa Scaffi di has been shortlisted for the 2012 World Mayor Prize.

She is the only Australian mayor to make it through to the last 25, and only one of three females on the shortlist.

People can vote online till mid October for their favourite civic leader at www.worldmayor.com.

Ms Scaffi di is keen on Perth voters hitting the web to propel her to glory.

“Hopefully we can get Perth

people behind it and make it like Dancing with Stars with people voting for winner Johnny Ruffo!” she laughed.

“It might come down to being a bit of a numbers games, we’ll need to wait and see.

“I’d love to get my hands on that trophy!”

Ms Scaffi di says popular Newark mayor Cory Booker—aka the “Twitter mayor” with more than one million Followers—will be tough to beat.

The shortlist includes mayors from North and Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia.

The only other mayor in the Australasia category is Auckland’s Len Brown.

The winner is announced in early December.

• Lisa Scaffi di

It’s Mayor Idol

“The city is keen to look at all options that may be possible in terms of relaxing the compulsory nature of the current laws around helmet use,” she wrote to the Voice.

“Clearly, if you cycle at high speed in heavy traffi c most people would choose to wear a helmet—and there may be a case to uphold the current laws for cycling on the main roads that approach the city.

“However, there is a growing d issa t i s fac t ion wi th in the community for compulsory helmet-wearing, especially in low-speed urban centres and this actually discourages some people from choosing to cycle.

“It also makes cycle hire schemes extremely difficult to

operate to their full potential.”Ms Scaffi di says there are a few

options on the table:• establishing a “helmet

e x c l u s i o n z o n e ” a r o u n d pedestrian-focused urban centres;

• excluding hire scheme users from wearing helmets if they agree to sign a waiver;

• exempting the foreshore, including all pedestrian-friendly waterfront developments, from compulsory helmet use;

• only enforcing helmet use on highways with speed limits of 60kph and more.

Fremantle mayor Brad Pettitt and independent MP Adele Carles have both recently called for the repeal of helmet laws in the Freo CBD.

A LACK of school psychologists at Mt Lawley schools is putting students’ mental health at risk, according to the WA State School Teachers’ Union.

The Australian Psychological Society recommends one school psychologist for every 500 students. Across Mt Lawley the ratio is one to 1564.

Teachers’ union president Anne Gisborne says students could “suffer” because of the mental health shortfall.

“Having worked as a teacher, and now representing teachers, I know that when students in need go without psychological support, they suffer and the learning of other students suffers,” she says.

A CONTRACTOR who’d supplied a now-dead Stirling city council building coordinator with goods worth more than $81,000 has been sentenced to 16 months in gaol.

Thomas Van Grootel, 53, pleaded guilty to a corruption charge in the Perth District Court following a Corruption and Crime Commission investigation.

He was sentenced last week. Mr Van Grootel, a former

director of City and Suburban Maintenance Ltd, received more than $900,000 in council contracts from the dead man between May 2004 and January 2010.

In return, Mr Van Grootel supplied the dead man with goods valued in excess of

WA government has increased by almost $6 billion, mostly as a result of the resources boom.

“If the premier can afford $25 million on a new of fi ce for himself, why is he under-funding services?”

Ms Gisborne, Greens MLC Alison Xamon and Mt Lawley Labor candidate Bob Kucera have each signed a UnionsWA action plan, calling on the government to invest more money in public services.

WA education minister Liz Constable says the number of psychologists in schools has risen more than 30 per cent in three years, and WA now has the highest psychologist-to-student ratio in Australia.

“We have reached our target of attracting 60 high-calibre school psychologists over three years, each with skills to provide

professional emotional and social support to students and schools,” she said.

“This means we now have a ratio in WA of one psychologist for every 990 students.

“Rather than using a simplistic formula based only on student numbers, various factors are taken into account when allocating psychologist time to schools.

“These include the socio-economic status, the location of the school, and the proportion of students with disabilities or attendance problems.

Ms Constable says students also receive support from visiting psychologists and schools can increase visiting times if required.

The Voice contacted Mt Lawley SHS principal Milton Butcher for comment but he said we had to speak to the WA education department.

Union psyched

$81,000, including a 4WD vehicle.

Eight people have now been charged with 35 offences as a result of the CCC investigation into the procurement of goods and services by Stirling city council.

Mr Van Grootel is the third contractor to be sentenced to gaol.

One person pleaded guilty to a corruption charge and was sentenced to 18 months, suspended for two years, and fi ned $7500.

Another who’d plead guilty was sentenced to 18 months gaol.

The former building coordinator took his own life two years ago when ordered to testify at the CCC to corruption allegations. Two years after his death he still cannot be named—an unprecedented restriction on press freedom in WA.

PLANS for a pedestrian footbridge to Heirisson Island have been abandoned for at least six months.

In May last year Perth city council decided to go ahead with the $10.3 million island project but wanted half funded by someone else.

“The external funding of $5 million required to progress the next stage of the project has not been secured,” a council report glumly stated. Cr Judy McEvoy predicts the six month delay will blow out, with the state and federal governments unlikely to stump up the cash.

Sculpture parkThere is also a long-term

plan for a sculpture park on the island, championed by lord mayor Lisa Scaffi di. Currently the island hosts an oft-vandalised statue of Aboriginal warrior Yagan.

Ms Scaffi di has however taken the opportunity to resign from the sculpture park committee, saying “I am keen to share the knowledge and empower another councillor [to] be as informed and inspired by it as I am.”

New councillor Lily Chen will take up the post.

IN Play It Again, Sam, Woody Allen plays a neurotic fi lm critic

obsessed with Casablanca. His obsession becomes so

strong he imagines a phantom Humphrey Bogart in his apartment, offering advice on how to pull dames and bolster his machismo.

Perth fi lm critic Gavin Bond isn’t quite at such a delusional stage yet, but does admit to being in the midst of a “mid-life crisis” while making Buff, a documentary about fi lm lovers and critics in Australia.

Bond says he’d always been into fi lms as a kid, and regrets that he didn’t follow his heart, heading into teaching instead.

“I love gritty crime fl icks like Bonnie and Clyde and The French Connection and believe the key to a memorable fi lm is a tight script, realistic dialogue and meaty characterisations.”

Bond is the thinking man’s Siskel and Ebert: He has spent a decade appearing and producing Flicktease for public access TV, writes weekly reviews for the Sunday Times, runs www.fl icktease.com and is immersed in countless fi lm-related endeavours.

The bulk of his self-funded “no budget” documentary—fi lmed between July 2011-12—is interviews with fi lm geeks, critics and enthusiasts.

ARTSSTEPHEN POLLOCK

It includes intimate chats with David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz, Peter Rowsthorn and the West Australian’s Mark Naglazas.

“Who knew Mark Naglazas held a soft spot for The Naked Gun series or that David Stratton walked out of Transformers 2?” Bond says.

“Simon Miraudo [Quickfl ix reviewer] confessed to collecting ticket stubs while Tristan Fidler [UWA fi lm lecturer] has watched The Room over a dozen times.”

Punctuating the interviews are parody performances by Sam Longley and Damon Lockwood of scenes from movies such as Scarface, On the Waterfront and This is Spinal Tap.

The vignettes were fi lmed on an, “intentionally minimalist and dodgy-looking backdrop.”.

After wrapping up the guerilla production, Bond was surprised at what he had learned.

“What struck me is that no-one’s choice of favourite fi lms was at all predictable,” he says.

“People’s upbringings and childhood recollections seemed to form the main driving force to what fi lms are cherished and treasured by fi lm buffs.”

In recent years, internet fi lm bloggers and YouTube have diminished the once-dominant infl uence of the traditional movie critic.

But Bond, an FTI fi lmmaker in his youth, says old-school print and TV fi lm reviewers remain important.

“I do think there are a lot of fi lms these days, for example superhero franchises and fl uffy rom-coms that are critic free—the public doesn’t care what critics have to say about them—but I think arthouse movies still depend on critical word of mouth.” he says

“David and Margaret can still make or break a movie here Down Under.”

Buff is at the Astor on July 15, as part of the Revelation Perth International Film Festival. We don’t know what David and Margaret think about the movie.

MY doctor reads the Perth Voice every week.

This poses an inherent problem: During routine check-ups I can’t lie to her that I eat only bowls of mashed yeast, muesli and sunfl ower seeds.

She is privy to every deep-fried transgression and battered peccadillo.

So, Doctor Ng, this review of Veggie Mama is for you.

Mama is at the corner of Beaufort and Vincent Streets, ironically located opposite Hungry Jack’s.

It is a modest eatery with a handful of tables inside and a wee alfresco area.

The decor is bright and minimalist without the antiseptic feel of an IKEA kitchen.

There was plenty of 30-something mothers with prams and a splattering of metrosexual men eschewing steak for polenta.

The lunch menu is a mix of colourful salads (beetroot, cabbage), hot dishes (chickpea curry, quiche) and pasta (roast vegetable lasagne).

Many of the meals were post-fi xed with the cipher (e) (g) (d). After a bit of head-scratching, I worked out it meant free of eggs,

(t)—taste-free.I went for the chickpea and

sweet-potato burger, with a cabbage side-salad ($14.95), while the good lady ordered a potato and spinach fi lo parcel with ratatouille ($13.95).

After a lifetime consuming stodgy, desiccated patties that have been lying in a display cabinet since the First Fleet, I was pensive about this encounter.

But Veggie Mama effaced these memories with a

delightfully moist specimen, laced with spices and herbs.

The patty had a gentle heat and was complemented by a peppy tomato salsa and toasted bun.

The bun was crunchy: the perfect antidote to the mushy chickpea.

The fl aked coconut on the side-salad was the only naughty addition (all that saturated fat!) but it was dwarfed by a healthy pile of red cabbage and carrot.

Meanwhile, the good lady was nibbling her veggie fi lo and ratatouille.

She enjoyed the rich tomato sauce and commented on the freshness of the eggplant, zucchini and onions: “Tastes like it was just plucked out of my nanna’s plot,” she

enthused to my choked chuckles.The spinach fi lo was light and

laced with pine nuts for an extra zing.

Veggie Mama serves bonafi de vegetarian food—not tofu disguised as a sausage nor specious veal.

So Sam Kekovich take note, and get ready to slap another artichoke on the barbie.

THIS one is different. The architecture here is a real quirky mix of

modern design with a side of industrial stylings.

There are so many architectural oddities that I don’t even know the name of them all, but I sure do like the... top. . . box. . . thingy. It’s like a little lookout that lets a lot of light in and extends the ceiling up to 14 feet or so, making it nice and spacious. The Volvo-like design—”it’s boxy but it’s good”—continued page 16

• from page 15of this three-bedroom, two-bathroom house is actually pretty cleverly set up to take in the breadth of the morning sun, with windows extending from fl oor to ceiling throughout the house.

Even on an overcast day there was still plenty of light being let in, giving the whole place an airy, light and bright feeling.

But when summer rolls around you’ll be pretty thankful for the blockout blinds which completely hide you from the sun and keep the place cool. A vampire could live here quite happily through the day with those blinds down.

The main bedroom is a vast light-fi lled space with speccy ensuite with a big walk-in robe and another of those big full-length window/doors out to the alfresco area.

The other two bedrooms are pretty decently sized, and cleverly set up with the bathroom between acting as a semi-ensuite and no-man’s-land between squabbling siblings.

The kitchen has the feel of a commercial setting with sturdy, high-quality devices throughout, from the huge stove to the massive stainless steel drawers.

As with the robust appliances in the kitchen, all the fi t-out is commercial grade, and the doors feel solid and reliable as they slide away to reveal the huge decked dining area out back. This is a perfect barbecue venue, but an industrious renovator could put an outdoor kitchen down here turning it into the ultimate entertainer’s area.

This one’s worth checking out if only to marvel at the very peculiar design elements going on here.

June 23 - June 30, 2012

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)The Sun has dipped into watery Cancer. This can be an Achilles heel

for feisty Rams, so it would be best to be well prepared. Emotions are likely to overwhelm action. The moment you try the predictable plan of pushing through, you’ll sink. Allow feelings their place.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)As the Sun moves into Cancer, you suddenly feel like the world is a friendlier

place. Though bulls are big and seem scary, they are in fact as sensitive as kittens, unless riled. There’s no need to think your feelings – feel them. Emotions and feelings humanise us.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)There’s still plenty of action in your neck of the woods, even though

the Sun has by now slipped into Cancer. Venus is shining her love-light on you. And jovial Jupiter is there to seduce you into expansion. Set you your sights clearly. There’s every chance you’ll get there.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)The Sun is now shining brightly over your rock-pool by the edge of the

ocean. It is bringing vitality and heat. It is charging up your whole sense of who you are. Honour your individuality. Drop comparing yourself with others. You are as you are and that’s perfect!

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)The Moon begins her week in Leo, which counters the fact that the

Sun has just moved into watery Cancer. This means that you will be able to hang on to your sense of self, even when emotions and defences against emotion, are highly active. Claim your roar.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)With Sun’s move into Cancer, something inside relaxes. Mercury is in Cancer too,

making communication seamless, even when non-verbal. Suddenly it is ok to be fl ooded with emotion. There’s no need push your feelings away. Hone your Emotional Quotient.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)The tide has turned. The Sun has moved into Cancer, which is a watery

feeling place. It won’t be possible to fl oat in the rarefi ed atmosphere of romantic illusions here. Life is going to take you by the hand and bring you into your emotional realness. This is a good thing.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21) With the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Leo, there’s an odd play

of emotion and pride. If anyone is going to feel the dilemma of this, it will be you. Watch how pride wants to keep you from feeling what’s really going on. Water will defeat the rock. It always does.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)The fi re that inspires you continues to do so. As others are softened and

melted by the Sun’s passage into Cancer, so your afterburners continue to burn. Let change come in its own time. There’s no need to pre-empt it. Grow, evolve - revel in glorious enthusiasm.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)Now is a powerful time. It’s a balancing act for goat-persons. Having instigated

profound change, now comes a wave of reaction to the insecurity that always arrives with the unknown. There’s a part inside that will be reactive and want to go backwards. Don’t. Stay true.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Somehow you manage to fl oat above the major changes that are happening all

around you. Your overview is required. Be prepared to share it when asked. Sitting high in a tree as all the action unfolds beneath you, your perspective is unique and unusual. What’s new?

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Though all the omens are good for entering the fl ow, there are a few

snags. Ideas of what should be happening could get in the way of what actually is, especially around love and evolution. You might have to drop your version, to enter life’s version. Be extremely fl exible.

SPARE Parts Puppet Theatre presents the world premiere of Miss Lily’s Fabulous Feather Boa for

the July 9–21 school holidays.There will be two shows daily (not

Sundays), at 10am and 1pm. A 6.30pm show will be held July 20.

Miss Lily’s Fabulous Feather Boa is an inspirational story about having the courage to be who you are and the power of friendship.

Set in tropical Queensland, it begins with a lonely potoroo arriving at a holiday house run by Miss Lily, a tango-dancing crocodile. It’s not the only surprise in store for the timid marsupial, his hopes of peaceful rest shattered by a series of games organised by wombats and koalas.

The potoroo retreats into his lonely world, consumed by his belief he is the last of his kind. Just as the potoroo is about to

lose all hope, Miss Lily puts on a fl oorshow with her fabulous feather boa, and as the boa works its magic the potoroo’s world is changed forever.

“This is a very funny and dramatic work, full of delights and surprises,” says director Michael Barlow, who adapted Margaret Wild’s book for the stage production. “It has a very Australian sense of humour—but is a universal work that has at its heart a clear message of the power of friendship, acceptance and, most importantly, a zest for life.”

Iona McAuley designed the set and Lee Buddle composed the score. The production features new puppets and the talents of Jacob Lehrer, Philip Mitchell and Katya Shevtsov.

Ticekts are $19.50 (discounts apply for bookings of four more more). Book at www.sppt.asn.au or call 9335 5044.

The Voice has two family passes up for grabs. Send your entries to Voice Miss Lily, PO Box 85 North Fremantle 6159. Comp closes Tues 3 July and we will notify the lucky winners.

Feathered friends

THE Fremantle Chamber Orchestra’s winter program promises a feast for the senses.

Renowned for its energetic, beautiful sound, the orchestra’s strings will warm your heart with a selection of rarely heard works including Mendelssohn’s superb Swiss Symphony and Rachmaninoff’s lush Romance.

To win a double pass write your name, address, phone and email on the back of an envelope and send to Perth Voice FCO competition, PO Box 85 North Fremantle, 6159 by next Tuesday.

Performances are Saturday July 14 Fremantle Town Hall 3pm. Sunday July 15 Perth Town Hall 3pm. Tix at the door or through BOCS 9484 1133. Visit the FCO website or call 9335 6980.
