Jazz is back

And sick of the theatre blues?

BOTH the Perth International Jazz Festival and the Blue Room Theatre are back, even though Covid-19 rules have given the former a more homegrown flavour and the latter some plot twists worthy of Samuel Beckett.

“New delights” and “old favourites” promises jazz festival organiser Mace Francis, while playwright Rhiannon Peterson says the “chaos and uncertainty” in The Jellyman is a pretty good reflection of 2020.

Ballots delayedby DAVID BELL

“CONCERNING” numbers of electors are not receiving ballots for the City of Perth election.

The council says it’s aware of the problem, which was “apparently due to postal issues”.

In a social media post,

lord mayoral candidate Di Bain described it as “a concerning number of eligible voters” who’d not received their ballot papers.

They were meant to start arriving on September 22 through to September 25.

If slow mail is behind the delays, federal Labor MP Josh Wilson’s pointing the finger at the Morrison government, which recently

voted to approve cuts to Australia Post deliveries to two or three days a week across the nation.

Replacement ballot papers are available for pick up at Perth council house, where they can also be dropped off up until 6pm on Saturday October 17 – if you’re nervous about snail mail making it in time.

PLANS are afoot to extend the waterski area on the Swan River along more of the delicate Maylands Peninsula foreshore.

The Department of Transport is currently accepting public comment on plans to extend the allowable waterski area 100 metres upstream and 145 metres downstream.

It’s called the “Belmont water ski area” but encompasses a significant chunk of the Maylands peninsula, and the changes increase their area by about a third and encroach on the special 8-knot restricted area used by Maylands Yacht Club.

PARKING permits will soon go digital in Vincent, but some residents are unhappy about a lack of consultation.

Three readers have contacted the Voice with various concerns about the new system, which sees residents create an account where they can lodge their rego number as well as those of guests.

Rangers will use number plate scanners to automatically figure out who’s allowed ‚Äì and who cops a fine.

Council staff reckon it solves the problem of permits being lost, stolen, falling off the dash or disappearing with a visitor, and there’s no waiting period while a paper one gets printed and posted.

But Highgate’s Gordon Lee told the Voice people without computers or the internet would be unable to join the online system.

North Perth’s John Matthews said he couldn’t see it fixing the current system’s problems of low-priority streets rarely being patrolled, or the leniency shown to bad parkers.

This week another reader said that without permits on dashboards, residents couldn’t tell if their streets were clogged with illegal parkers. She had a dozen other questions about how it would operate and says the council should have consulted.

The change wasn’t run past councillors, with Vincent’s admin viewing it as a simple

technology switch they had the delegated authority to implement.

Vincent mayor Emma Cole believes elected members should have been alerted to the pros and cons, and given the chance to decide if it had to go out for community consultation; almost all changes that go in front of council get advertised unless they’re extremely minor or technical.

CommunicationInstead, some councillors

only learned of the new system when letters went out to existing permit holders and some started arcing up.

Ms Cole says the new system will be better, but; “I really think we could have done a much better job on communication with that, and that’s something I’ve raised with the CEO”.

As a result of the complaints, paper permits will remain for people who can’t access the e-permit system through disability or lack of internet access.

Ms Cole says a new letter will be going out in the next couple of weeks properly explaining the e-permit system and she says it does have a lot of benefits.

Rangers will be able to hit more streets since they can sweep an area just by driving through rather than scrutinising permits on foot, and visitor passes can be instantly added from a computer or phone so you can give a tradie a visitor pass if they stop by while you’re not home.

“When you look at the benefits, I think they do outweigh the existing permit system,” Ms Cole says.

There’s been a couple of instances where Vincent council’s not been kept in the loop by Vincent staff recently, like the state government’s long term cycle plan which councillors became aware of two years after staff first heard of it.

Ms Cole says councillors have again requested the administration complete a “Community Engagement Framework,” a year-overdue policy that’d make it clear what has to go out for community consultation.

“A community engagement framework’s something that council has been seeking for some time,” Ms Cole says, adding “we wouldn’t have these situations” if it was in place.

CITY OF PERTH 2020

BruceForMayor.com.auAUTHORISED BY BRUCE REYNOLDS, 180 ABERDEEN STREET PERTH WA 6003.

The change we’ve been waiting for.

by DAVID BELL

A CYCLIST died after being hit by a bus on Beaufort Street this week, just months after motorcycles were banned from the bus lane due to safety concerns.

On October 6 at 4.10pm, a route 60 bus travelling north on Beaufort Street turned left onto Newcastle Street, hitting a cyclist who was going north on Beaufort. The tight turn was introduced to route 60 this year; previously the bus made the left further up at Brisbane Street where there’s more clearance.

The cyclist, a 54-year-old man, died at the scene with an onlooker holding his hand.

The intersection doesn’t have a green-shaded head start box for cyclists, just a “keep clear” zone to give buses extra space to navigate the tight corner.

Bike rider and pedestrian advocate Andrew Main has long held concerns about bikes sharing busy streets with vehicles. He says while it’s not yet clear what happened, in many cases a bike head-start zone, such as those being rolled out by Fremantle council, could prevent this kind of collision.

“I think they should be compulsory on any route that’s identified as a bike route, that’s definitely something that needs to be common practice.

“We also need to look at the bus routes. If they’ve got a route where they have to swing out and turn in, that’s a design failure, and maybe they need to look at route selection.”

Until recently both bicycles and motorbikes were allowed in bus lanes on Beaufort, Fitzgerald Street

and a few others. In June the Public Transport Authority announced motorcyclists would no longer be permitted in the bus lanes.

The PTA’s report said visibility was a concern: “Motorcyclists present a relatively small visibility profile compared to buses.”

The report said bikes in bus lanes “is a much debated topic between transport planners and engineers” and it acknowledged “cyclists have an even smaller profile than motorcyclists,” but didn’t propose prohibiting cyclists from bus lanes.

Mr Main says in general having cyclists in bus lanes is “not really a solution” to unsafe streets and a lack of bike infrastructure. He avoids them and says they’re generally only used by a small number of the more confident cyclists.

Former City of Perth councillor Reece Harley has been growing increasingly concerned about the safety around bus lanes over the past few years.

A candidate for the October 17 election, he says “the new council of the City of Perth needs to undertake an urgent review of the adequacy of city cycling infrastructure.

“We should also be liaising closely with the PTA on the safety of bus routes throughout the City, and looking especially at the interaction of buses, pedestrians, cyclists and other traffic at intersections.”

“The number 60 bus route used to head east on Brisbane Street and was recently re-directed to Newcastle Street, turning left at a much busier intersection and heading through a much busier part of the city which gets gridlocked most mornings and afternoons.”

October is WA Bike Month.

PERTH Bike Hub have surveyed the City of Perth election candidates to find out who knows what bike riders need, and PHB’s Heinrich Benz says they’re pretty encouraged by the responses.

“This survey is about much more than bikes: Our survey questions were firmly focused on public space and offered candidates a way to share their vision for our city,” Mr Benz says.

Most of the 31 candidates and all seven mayoral candidates responded to the survey by PHB, a volunteer run-group promoting safer streets.

“We’re encouraged by the

responses we’ve received to our survey. Most candidates recognised that the status quo for walking, cycling and e-scooters in central Perth isn’t good enough, and are supportive of improvements to make our streets safer for active transport.

“We were also pleased that most candidates seemed to understand that funnelling more car traffic onto our streets isn’t good for the long term economic success, sustainability and liveability of our city.”

PHB is not formally endorsing any candidates, but candidate responses and PHB’s very frank and forthright reviews of their stances is at bicycleperth.blogspot.com

PUBLIC NOTICEBUSH FIRES ACT – YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS AND/OR OCCUPIERS OF LAND WITHIN THE CITY OF VINCENT

Please help us keep Vincent fire safe this season.

Pursuant to the powers conferred in Section 33 of the Bush Fires Act 1954 Western Australia, you are required on or before the 31st day of October 2020, and thereafter up to and including the 30th day of April 2021, to clear inflammable matter on land owned and/or occupied by you in accordance with the following requirements:

1. All land which is 2000m² or less in area:

Remove inflammable matter from the whole of the land, except living trees and shrubs; plants under cultivation and lawn, by means of ploughing, cultivating or slashing to a height of no more than 50mm.

2. All other land within the City of Vincent exceeding 2000m² (larger than average residential block size)

(i) Firebreaks of a minimum width and height of 3 metres are to be cleared immediately inside all external boundaries of the land;

(ii) Firebreaks to a minimum width of 3 metres and height of 3 metres are to be cleared immediately surrounding all buildings situated on the land; and any place where inflammable liquids and gas products are kept.

In addition to the requirements in this notice, the City may, by notice in writing, require an owner and/or occupier to act as and when specified in the notice with respect to anything which is upon land and which in the opinion of the City is or is likely to be conducive to the outbreak of a bush fire or the spread or extension of a bush fire.

The term "Inflammable Matter" for the purpose of this notice includes bush (as defined in the Bush Fires Act 1954), timber, boxes, cartons, paper, rubbish and any other combustible or inflammable matter, but does not include buildings, green standing trees and bushes or growing bushes or plants in gardens or lawns.

All land within the City of Vincent must be cleared on or before the 31st day of October in any year and thereafter maintained clear of inflammable matter up to and including the 30th day of April in the following year.

If, for any reason, an owner and/or occupier considers it impractical to clear the land or comply with other fire protection measures in accordance with the notice, the owner and/or occupier may apply in writing to the City no later than the 31st day of October in any year for a variation. If permission is not granted in writing by the City or its authorised officer, the owner and/or occupier must comply with the requirements of this notice. Any variation granted by the City will apply only for a single Firebreak Period. A variation granted by the City shall only remain in force until the 30th day of April in the following year.

The penalty for failing to comply with this notice is a fine of not more than $5,000.00 and a person in default is also liable, whether prosecuted or not, to pay the cost of performing the work directed in this notice if it is not carried out by the owner or occupier by the date required by this notice.

Pursuant to Sections 24G(2) and 25(1a) of the Bush Fires Act 1954, the burning of garden refuse and lighting of fires in the open air is prohibited within the districts of the City of Vincent between the 31st day of October 2020 and the 30th day of April 2021.

THREE Bayswater councillors have lodged protest votes against an ancient policy exempting churches and charities from paying rates, with one saying “everyone should pay their fair share”.

The council’s policy is based on a state law which declares land isn’t rateable if it’s used exclusively for charity or worship-related activities.

Recently the Chin Emmanuel Church in Embleton and Maylands-based charity Communicare both applied for a rates exemption under that policy.

At the September 22 council meeting councillor Michelle Sutherland requested the items be brought up for discussion so she could vote against them. Cr Catherine Ehrhardt and Steven Ostaszewskyj

FEDERAL Perth Labor MP Patrick Gorman has reviewed treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s budget and dubbed it “mean”

“It leaves too many people out,” Mr Gorman said.

“If you’re over 35, you’re going to find it really hard to find a job under this budget,” he told us via phone from Canberra. “If you’re on Jobseeker, you’ll find that paying the bills next year is going to be really difficult.”

Businesses are getting $4 billion of subsidies to hire unemployed people under 35, while Jobseeker’s going back to the $40 a day rate; Mr Gorman says that’ll be a blow to businesses relying

likewise lodged no votes, with Cr Ostaszewskyj explaining simply: “I just think everyone should pay their fair share.”

Cr Sally Palmer said it was clear the organisations qualified under the policy, and the majority of councillors agreed. The church saves $4,488, Communicare saves $1,830.

Communicare is a men’s domestic violence counselling and accommodation service. Residents do pay to stay at the facility, making up about 30 per cent of its yearly revenue. But it doesn’t cover the full cost of services and the council

report says it is classed as a charity under the four-century old “Charitable Uses Act of 1601” passed by the Tudor-era British parliament.

A third group, Potters House Christian Centre based in Morley, also sought exemption on its $18,874 rates bill.

The council said no, “because the property is not used as a place of public worship.

“The actual use of this land is predominantly for weekly theatre, live music and live testimonials,” which wasn’t considered a benefit to the broader community.

on the extra spending the bumped up payment had sparked.

Schools and sports clubs will lose out as the Local School Community Fund and the Community Sport Infrastructure Grants (aka the Sports Rorts) are also gone.

“While debt is the biggest it’s ever been, there’s been these cuts and abolitions to programs like the schools fund that used to help pay for playgrounds, air-conditioning... I thought that was quite a mean cut.”

Last year grants helped Bayswater Primary School get an enclosed assembly area to shelter students, Sir David Brand School in Coolbinia a sensory playground, and Maylands Peninsula Primary School to expand its overly-busy playground.

For Perth’s Lord MayorSANDY ANGHIE

“Bringing our city back to life”

“Sandy Anghie (LLB BComm BEnvDes MArch) has 25 years’ professional experience as an architect, lawyer, accountant and board member, bringing a solid foundation to the role of Lord Mayor. Sandy’s broad skillset, combined with her proven track record in leading sustainable change in the City of Perth, will ensure our City is under the leadership of someone capable and experienced.”

I am committed to working with the City executive, new team of Councillors, and the Perth community to Bring Back Good Governance, Fix the Fundamentals, Establish our Identity and Celebrate Perth.

Fix the Fundamentals.There are some things we all agree on, they are non-negotiable, and we must take action now: practical solutions for people experiencing homelessness, a safe city for everyone, support and Covid-19 recovery for local businesses – and a City that does more for less, and encourages entrepreneurism.

Establish our Identity.Perth has come a long way in recent years, and to become a truly world class city there is still work that needs to be done. I believe this includes building the assets and identities of our unique City neighbourhoods, celebration of Indigenous culture throughout our City, energising our CBD and connecting it to Kings Park, the Swan River and natural surrounds, and growing our residential, student and tourist populations.

#celebrateperth.Perth is a great city. As Lord Mayor, I would celebrate what we have, while at the same time seeking to make Perth even better.

PUBLIC NOTICEREPEAL OF THE PARKING AND

PARKING FACILITIES AMENDMENT LOCAL LAW 2020

The City of Vincent Council resolved on 15 September 2020 to repeal the Parking and Parking Facilities Amendment Local Law 2020.

The purpose and effect of the repeal of the Parking and Parking Facilities Amendment Local Law is to revert to the Parking and Parking Facilities Local Law 2007, as required by the Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation's direction.

The City will be drafting a new Parking Local Law over the next 6 months.

To find out more, visit imagine.vincent.wa.gov.au. Comments on the repeal are due by Friday 20 November 2020. Questions can be directed to Paul Morrice, Manager Ranger Services on 9273 6561 or mail.vincent.wa.gov.au.

SEXIST corporations won’t get Vincent council’s business under a proposed policy.

The council’s draft purchasing policy is based on the Commonwealth’s practice of eschewing goods or services from large companies that don’t comply with the Workplace Gender Equality Act.

The Act requires companies with more than 100 employees to submit a report to the WGE Agency showing employee gender breakdown, wages, and what policies they have to improve equality.

Non-compliant companies aren’t necessarily sausage factories; refusing to report, lying on the report, or not having policies to address sexual harassment/paying genders equally can earn a spot on the government’s naughty list.

Dome Cafes Australia and the trustee that owns Pan Pacific Perth are on the 120-strong list.

On the flip side, the council will aim to buy more from Aboriginal-owned and disability enterprises – if practical and value for money.

“Buy local” and buying from environmentally-friendly companies is also encouraged.

Mayor Emma Cole says “with all of our policies, we’re trying to embed the community priorities from our strategic community plan, so we’re looking at things like life cycle costs, sustainability ratings, workplace gender equality, and at the same time it has to be balanced against value for money.

“We have our Reconciliation Action Plan where we talk about supporting Aboriginal businesses, and we really need to put that into place with our purchasing policy, we need to follow through and demonstrate that we’re doing that.”

The policy’s up for comment via imagine.vincent.wa.gov.au until October 26 at 9am.

Sexism doesn’t pay in Vincent

by DAVID BELL

WHILE most galleries sternly warn patrons “Pease do not touch the art”, newly opened Kamilė Gallery is tossing that aside this weekend with a tactile session for blind and low-vision people.

Optic nerve cancer robbed Ryan Honschooten of his sight as a toddler, and while he’s previously explored sculptures through touch, he says Mt Hawthorn artist Nigel Laxton’s textured paintings took his art experience to a new level.

“I really want to spend forever just looking at it,” Mr Honschooten tells us.

SandLaxton was planning his

exhibition Aggregate as a series of ambiguous works exploring the materiality of sand, and says the idea morphed when gallery owner Kamilė Burinskaitė expressed an interest in making the gallery fully accessible.

“An inclusive gallery is not just about having wheelchair access. I want to display artwork and exhibits which you can run your hands over and get a better understanding of textures,” Ms Burinskaitė said.

“I saw Nigel’s paintings and knew that they would appeal to a wider audience.”

Laxton’s existing pieces layered sand and other material with paint, so the colour detail would’ve been missed by blind people. He created three new works conveying that detail

through touch, by varying the texture and density of the layered sand.

They were based on one of his exhibition pieces depicting Captain Cook’s arrival in Australia, with its dark shading marking the ambiguity of the event as a historic moment but a black day for Aboriginal people.

For most of his life, Laxton was a materials scientist, inventor

and engineer, and the material he used held significance and also embodied the works’ ambiguity.

He’s had his studio at Point Heathcote (Goolagatup) for five years and says it’s both a significant Aboriginal site “and it’s also where Captain Stirling came down the Swan River when he was looking for where to settle Perth”.

He went down to the Heathcote

beach and sought fine sand, a mixture of quartz, calcarenite, and wind-blown shell fragments dating back to the ice age.

“To some people it is sand, but to me it is a little bit more,” he says.

An artist’s talk and tactile tour on October 10 has been organised for blind and low-vision people through disability services provider VisAbility, where Mr

Honschooten works as a youth officer. It’s been lined up on the weekend ahead of October 15’s White Cane Day, a symbol of independence.

Mr Honschooten has a background in sailing, including a three-month voyage on a square-rigged ship and says he especially enjoyed how Laxton recreated the rigging in his painting.

“He’s used really fine [sand] for the rigging, and there’s thicker sand where the rails are, and even thicker for the hull... it’s not just a flat piece of work, it’s got all these levels to it.”

Mr Honschooten says it’s a significant moment because he’s able to properly appreciate a painting first-hand: “If there’s a painting on the wall, I can’t get it, I can’t see it... if I go to an art gallery with you or anybody else and you have to describe to me what you’re seeing in the painting, I’m not getting what I’m seeing, I’m getting how you interpret it. That’s what art’s all about, how people interpret things.”

CanvasHe says blind people are

as varied as everyone else: He pictures in his head what he’s feeling on the canvas, but others might conceptualise it differently at the upcoming tactile tour.

“I can’t wait to see what peoples’ reaction is,” he says.

While the artist’s talk and tactile tour is a one-off, the full lineup of works for Aggregate runs until October 30 at Kamilė Gallery at 3 Pier Street, and Ms Burinskaitė plans to hold more accessibility-focussed shows in the future.

Historic dub The Bruce Lee classic

Fist of Fury is to be the first ever film dubbed

into Noongar and will premier at next year’s Perth Festival.

The makers of Fist of Fury Noongar Daa have already begun recruiting local voice actors to dub the Cantonese-Mandarin from the 1972 original, which made Lee an international star and was released a few years after Indigenous people were recognised as citizens of their own country.

Sadly Lee died aged 32 a year after Fist of Fury, but his explosive career changed the way Asians were represented in American films, and he became a hero for Asian-Americans, Afro-Americans, and the Noongar and wider indigenous community.

“Bruce Lee perfected kung fu and mastered life,” says Fist of Fury Noongar Daa adaptor Kylie Bracknell.

“He was a moorditj (solid) philosopher who led by example.

“Why not link the most prominent non-white film star – much more than an actor – of the 1970s with Noongar language?

“He’s a legend, a credit to the human race, and our people respect his journey, his art and his legacy.”

Throughout his short life, Lee stood up against injustice and racism off and on the screen.

Unlike other kung fu films

of the time, Fist of Fury touched on historical and social issues like Japanese colonialism and imperialism.

“Fist of Fury has so many parallels to our Noongar way of life,” Bracknell says.

“The struggle aspect of colonisation was an obvious contributing factor but it wasn’t the sole reason for this Lee film selection.

“Fist of Fury honours the language of the body and the film isn’t dialogue heavy, it allows one to ‘read between the lines’ so to speak.

“Other relatable aspects include the significant burial ceremony at the beginning, the varied perspectives of grief and ‘pay-back’, Chen’s (the Lee character) dignified self-sacrifice quest in search for justice, paying homage to a loved and revered teacher, the modest love between Lee and his on screen fiancé, and the grounding Chen’s people have in philosophy and the land they exist on.”

Bracknell and Perth Festival film programmer Tom Vincent came up with the idea for Fist of Fury Noongar Daa after being inspired by Navajo Star Wars, a 2013 Navajo-dubbed release of Star Wars Episode IV: A New

Hope. “We thought ‘what if we tried something similar with Noongar’,” Bracknell says.

“This is an opportunity to further contribute to the survival and strength of Noongar as a living language.”

The production of Fist of Fury Noongar Daa will employ about 40 locals, mostly from the Noongar community, but Bracknell was keeping tight-lipped on who would be the voice of Bruce Lee: “We can’t announce any casting news yet as we’re still in negotiation.”

Bracknell, who directed Perth Festival’s 2020 landmark play Hecate, the Noongar version of Macbeth, says Fist of Fury Noongar Daa will be challenging.

“The dubbing task for us will be far more difficult in some respects considering only two percent of the entire Noongar population speak their mother tongue,” she says.

“This is very much a language reclamation journey nestled inside an Australian first dub.”

Fist of Fury Noongar Daa, with English subtitles, will screen at Lotterywest Films at the iconic UWA Somerville outdoor cinema in February.

Live Music ReturnsIn the monthly listening suggestions sent to all people on FCO’s email list, the heart-warming feedback confi rms what all FCO musicians feel when performing in Fremantle and Perth: we are a musical community thrilled by live music and eager to come back to the concert hall. Musicians are also keen to play again, not only because their casual performing and teaching was interrupted but because the essence of an artist is to share the beauty with the community.

Safety in Lucky WAWe in WA must be the luckiest people on earth without any community transmission and a government that keeps tight control over borders and travellers. So with a special program in venues big enough to observe social distancing, FCO celebrates its fi rst post-lockdown concerts, continuing its 15th Anniversary series.

An Inspiring ProgramJ C Bach’s early classic Symphony in G minor is rarely played and leads to Mozart’s exquisite Flute Concerto K313 featuring Michael Howell. Frederick Septimus Kelly is a little known Australian composer who died in WW1. His ephemeral Elegy for String Orchestra “In Memoriam Rupert Brooke” is contrasted by the dramatic and energetic 3rd Symphony in G minor by Koželuch, a forgotten Beethoven contemporary. Schoenberg’s late romantic Notturno for Violin and Harp provides a tender “Ahhh” fi nale.

A Fantastic OrchestraThe talented Jen Winley will be conducting FCO for the fi rst time.

We are also thrilled to have our fi rst concertmaster, Rebecca Glorie, back. Rebecca crucially helped FCO emerge in 2005, introducing some of the most accomplished WA musicians to the orchestra.

All up it promises to be a powerful performance. Jen Winley

Pinchos is Perth’s happy place.

A few Sundays back we were lured to the Spanish tapas bar by its jovial clientele, who were sharing delectable dishes in the alfresco.

We quickly waved down a waiter so we could join in the fun.

The staff are just as cheery and attentive as the diners.

Despite the place being packed, we were shown to a table outside and served quickly.

We were off to a great start, made even better by the quick service – Our seven plates were whisked to our table in less than fi ve minutes.

It may sound like a lot for two people, but everything here is designed to share so you can en-joy an ample selection of Spanish favourites without overdoing it.

Every time I visit Pinchos I order the pork belly ($14.95). It’s to die for.

The belly is fried to crispy perfection then cubed and plated with a generous coating of dukka to add extra crunch and texture.

A splash of lemon juice added an acidic dimension and cut through the delicious fat.

There are three types of croquettes ($9.90) available on the menu including potato and salt cod, and chicken and ham. My favourite is the mushroom, leek and manchego – a Spanish cheese made from sheep’s milk.

The fi lling was creamy, earthy

Having a ball

and punchy thanks to the tasty mushrooms and luscious cheese fi lling. The leek added bite and the garlic aioli brought it all together.

A small bite of chorizo with honey and goats cheese ($2) was a sweet accompaniment to our rocket, pine nut, pear, goats cheese and orange salad ($11.50).

More substantial dishes can be found on the Bigger Plates menu and we didn’t regret or-dering the beef cheeks ($27).

The meat is slow cooked and fell apart with the slightest touch of my fork. The cheeks were served on a bed of very creamy caulifl ower puree and swim-ming in a rich port sauce.

This is a simple dish, but it packed some serious fl avour. Kudos to the kitchen.

There’s always going to be a weakest link when you order so much food, and in our case it was the saffron labne served

with fl atbread ($9.90). Saffron can be an acquired

taste when other fl avours aren’t used to mask it. In this case it added a bitter and metallic fl avour to the labne.

Despite the disappointment, the toasted fl atbread went well with the grapes, beetroot, pickles and dukka, also served as part of the dish.

Located on the traffi c-heavy Oxford Street, Pinchos isn’t al-ways the most peaceful place to dine, but the chaotic surround-ings add to the bustling atmo-sphere of this incredible foodie hotspot.

Pinchos is the perfect spot to soak up some sun, laugh with friends and enjoy some of the best food Perth has to offer.

voice estateAiryabodeAs you walk through

this Menora home you can’t help but notice the

gorgeous natural light.It’s all down to a clever

renovation that maximises the northerly orientation with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors.

It really does open things up and makes this three bedroom two bathroom abode feel extremely bright and airy.

The open plan living/dining/kitchen area is massive and has a neutral colour scheme and contemporary ceiling fans.

The renovated kitchen is sleek and modern with matching white cupboards and ceiling benches, making it a great spot to whip up dinner for family and friends.

There’s also a wide island bench, which is used as a breakfast bar.

At the front of the house is a study, but it would make a perfect home office for those still affected by covid-19.

It has lovely views of the front garden and you can peek out the window during a Zoom call to your boss. Alternatively the study could be utilised as a fourth bedroom.

After the working day is over, slide back the glass doors and head out to the large backyard, which has a sheltered alfresco and loads

of attractive greenery including grape vines and orange, lemon, olive and quandong trees.

There’s plenty of room to put in a lounge setting and pizza oven, and the bamboo screening and verdure creates a nice tranquil vibe.

One of my favourite features in the garden is the fire pit in the corner, which is shaded by a lovely peppermint tree and enclosed by a little wall, where you can sit and

toast some marshmallows.The bore reticulated garden just

keeps on going and around the side is an established veggie plot – perfect for your own paddock-to-plate service.

The house includes a 2.2kw solar panel system, ticking another green box and keeping your energy bills down.

All three bedrooms are well appointed with the main featuring a split system air con and lush

carpet. The house has a double garage, and a massive driveway if you have a boat, caravan or older kids with cars.

Situated on Bradford Street, this home is within walking distance of Coolbinia Primary School, Mount Lawley High School and ECU.

Come the weekend you can go to the nearby Yokine Reserve, where there is acres of green open space to exercise and play with the kids.

This is a bright, inviting house with a fantastic outdoor area and lots of contemporary charm.

AstrologyAstrologyOctober 10 – October 17, 2020

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)You have your ruling planet Mars in your midst. You also have the asteroid Lilith

spending time with you. Mars can represent both the best of the masculine and the worst. Lilith represents something similar in the realm of the feminine. Turn volatility into healing. It’s now or never.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)Uranus in Taurus is opposite Mercury in Scorpio. Uranus represents that part

of our brain that is focussed on broad contextual issues. Mercury represents that part of our mind that is focussed on details. Scorpio provokes emotional intensity, Taurus, sensuality and simplicity. Resolve this.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)Life is gently nudging you towards the path you need to take in order to

feel fully comfortable in your own skin. Every now and again we need to slow down and true our keel. If this is making you more inwardly focussed and refl ective than usual, so be it. Your true friends will remain true.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)The Moon is waning in Cancer at the beginning of the week. In the process she will put a wee spanner in the works

of habitual and reactive behaviour. Her intention is to bring you and all your compadres back to your feelings. Excitability tends to go round in circles. Don’t get sucked in.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)The Libran Sun is bringing a beautiful sunny glow to your friendships.

When you are with those who share your interests and passions, you are a very shiny soul indeed. Your happiness will make you effortlessly competent. Others will soon see this. Next thing you know you are the boss.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)Venus is in Virgo. You are at your best when

you are immersed in nature, absorbed by her wonders and her beauty. If someone tries to coerce you into ambition when you are in such a reverie, it feels like an assault on your sensibilities. Choose sensuality and delight above all else at this time.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) The Sun is midway through it’s annual

journey through Libra. Librans focus on balance, justice, ease and charm, yet somehow often provoke strong reactions in spite of these intentions. It’s as if the world is so habituated to the rough road that it freaks out at the possibility of effortlessness.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)Mercury is in Scorpio pushing you in the direction of being a tad obsessive

about your emotions, and your imaginings of what emotional states others might be in. Uranus is directly opposite, desperately trying to remind you that simplicity and ease are where all hope of expansion lies.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)There’s a lot of action going on around you but you are relatively untouched. Watch

out for habitual modes of communication. They could easily trip you up. If you are constantly retelling the same old story, you’ll soon lose your audience. Keep your delivery open, creative and ever fresh.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are bunched up in Capricorn. They aren’t going

anywhere soon. Intriguingly they seem to be focussed on bringing light to issues relating to family of origin. If you have any primal issues, now is the time to address them. To be safe, be good to your mother.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)The journey of the Sun through Libra fi lls you with a sense of possibility. It gives you

the feeling that you are starting to come into your own in a whole new and very satisfying way. The presence of Uranus, your ruling planet, in Taurus is a lovely reminder to stay focussed on pure delight.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Life is helping you to come into your own strength, energy and identity, through

the work you do. As you slowly and deeply master your craft, so you grow a sense of self that begins to shine and shine. The Moon is drawing your feelings to the surface. Add their texture to all that you do.

THEATRE is back on at Blue Room Theatre, which is urging folk to help the local arts scene recover from the dire pandemic months and its strict Covid requirements.

Like many venues and arts organisations, the Blue Room had to cancel everything in the early months of the pandemic; artists scheduled to perform later in the year also cancelled shows because it was too risky investing in productions that had no guarantee of seeing the light of day.

October’s show The Jellyman is about accepting “chaos and uncertainty” says writer and performer Rhiannon Petersen.

“While in the work this is focused upon identity, it feels very relevant in a year which has unfolded in the way it has,” she told the Voice.

It’s followed by the December run of The Golem; or, Next Year in Jerusalem by Humphrey Bower and Tim Green.

The Golem’s been adapted to the challenges of Covid restrictions: In response to the tiny audience numbers allowed, on special Saturday shows the two performers flit between two Blue Room performance spaces, playing

to two audiences in a myth-and-memoir take on the mythical clay creature created to defend the Jews of Prague.

Blue Room producer Harriet Roberts says there’s still a feeling of uncertainty in the local performing arts scene.

“The fact that our venues are still reduced by two thirds [capacity] and we’re still having to program really last-minute, with quick turnarounds rather than long lead planning, that level of uncertainty has really changed things.”

Performance venues still operate under the one-person per 2sqm rule, which works out to the Blue Room being able to fit about 17 audience members in a room that normally takes 60.

“Even stadiums have better capacity rules than what we’re dealing with... I don’t know why there’s an inconsistency,” Ms Roberts says. Special rules have let sports stadiums operate at 50 per cent capacity since June.

“Because of that uncertainty it doesn’t feel like we’re in the clear... it’s a bit of a weird holding pattern.”

The Jellyman runs October 27 to November 7, and The Golem is December 1 to December 12, tickets via blueroom.org.au

THE Perth International Jazz Festival will go ahead in November, though it’ll be slightly less international than most years.

Festival director Mace Francis said planning had been a wild ride, but “it’s with great pleasure and, honestly, sheer delight that we’re able to present the 2020 PIJF.

“There has been a lot of changes that have had to happen, but at our core we want to give you a weekend of the very best jazz that we can.

“Come and take a risk with us to see as much music as you can, experience new delights, reacquaint yourself with old favourites and just have the best time. This festival is for you and we look forward to seeing you there, from a safe distance.”

Along with solid local acts there’s a few internationals including expats Linda May Han Oh and Tai Cohen, who’ve returned to Perth to escape the US’s small Covid problem.

A free night launches the festival at the State Theatre courtyard on Friday November 6. Other events are spread across the weekend
