Mount Lawley, Morley, Duncraig
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
WA transport minister Dean
Nalder has opened the door to
a ride-share service setting up
in Perth, in direct competition
to traditional taxi operators.
Last month he met with Uber,
the Google-backed company
behind the ride-share service,
and is receptive to changing
regulations to ensure the service
can operate legally.
“There are three broad concerns
I have with the taxi industry at
this point,” the minister says.
“I don’t believe consumers
are getting the level of service
they require from the taxi
industry, I don’t believe drivers
No 831 Saturday May 24, 2014 • Phone 9430 7727 • www.perthvoice.com • news@perthvoice.com
are su ciently supported, and
the organisations that make
the biggest profits from the ta i
industry are not su ciently
accountable.
“We would like to see the
broader reform within the taxi
industry and will work with
the industry closely to improve
the service standard to the
community.
“Safety for passengers is of
course our primary concern, so we
need to look at what regulations
will protect passengers, and
support a more diverse taxi
industry.”
His supportive comments are
in direct contrast to the attitudes of
eastern states governments, which
have conducted sting operations
California calling
for councillors
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
AS the rest of us count our
coppers following the federal
Budget, Stirling city council
is spending $25,000 to send
two councillors to California
and fined ride-share drivers
Launching in Sydney in
2012 and since expanding into
Melbourne and Brisbane, Uber
is essentially an app that allows
private motorists who are over 23
with a clean driver’s licence, to
offer strangers a lift and charge
them a fee.
Uber vets motorists and their
cars for safety and offers a range
of services, including an Uber
Black limousine booking service.
Passengers can rate their drivers’
performance on the app.
Traditional taxi services and
taxi owners cry foul, saying
they’re charged hundreds of
thousands of dollars in registration
and licence fees, which Uber and
similar services escape.
Veteran cabbie Stephen Satchell
says this year’s WA taxi conference
was dominated by discussion
about the apps and he fears rideshare sounds the death knell for
traditional taxi drivers.
“Ride-share would shake up
the industry and I fear it would
put a lot of us cabbies out of a job.”
Swan Taxis boss Kevin Foley
hopes to meet with Mr Nalder
or his o cials to stop the service
taking off here
WA transport department
spokesperson Kate Phillips says
the DOT is open to the idea of
ride-share but notes it’s currently
against the law to charge more
than $7.40 for a 10km journey in
a typical four-cylinder car and
anyone wanting to charge more
requires a special licence.
“A person driving for hire or
reward or operating a vehicle
for hire or reward without an
appropriate licence is committing
an offence,” she says
“A vehicle operating for hire
or reward must also carry the
appropriate insurance.”
Uber raised $US258 million
last year in funding from Google
Ventures and TPG Investments.
The San Francisco-based
company operates in 60 cities
across the world.
Rival Backseat has delayed its
launch into the Sydney market
because of a NSW government
ruling that ride-sharing apps
require licensed vehicles and
drivers.

representative) to talk about
waste diversion (Stirling has
recycled virtually none in nine
months).
Last year the pair attended
an audit conference in Orlando,
Florida costing $32,750, despite
Cr Lagan not being on the
council’s audit committee.
Meanwhile, the council has
agreed to spend
flying
mayor Giovanni Italiano and
CEO Stuart Jardine business
class to Canberra, where they’ll
no doubt lobby for funding.
The total cost for their threeday stay will come to at least
$8651, including two nights at a
$360 per night hotel.
The bill could rise even
further with Stirling planning
to organise and host a joint
function for Coalition ministers
and MPs while in Canberra.
When the Voice checked a
flight comparison website, we
found flights on ovember 2
and 27 for around $750 economy
return—a full $5000 less than
what ratepayers coughed up.
But Mr Jardine says business
class is the norm, even for fourhour domestic flights
“…the costs of air travel
to and from conferences is to
be booked business class on
the most economical flight or
economy class if business class is
not available,” he says.
“However, a lobbying
delegation is not covered under
this policy and hence must go to
council for approval.”
Representatives from
Joondalup and Wanneroo city
councils will join Cr Italiano on
the trip, which will include joint
and individual meetings with
Coalition MPs.
“Lobbying trips to Canberra
are an important way for the
City of Stirling to actively build
upon relationships with federal
government representatives,”
wrote council staff
“Such trips help foster
economically beneficial
outcomes for the community.”

BAYSWATER Soccer Club
wants the council to invest
in Frank Drago Reserve so
it becomes the home of WA
football.
Football West has for the past
few years been kicking around
for a site where it can build a
state-of-the-art $25 million HQ,
including a 5000-seat stadium,
three pitches, o ces and an
accommodation block.
It would also serve as a
training and administrative base
for Perth Glory, now training
at McGillivray Oval, and be a
home ground for a local state

more space, but has poor public
transport.
“Space could be an issue here,
but there is council land nearby
which could be become available
if the Bayswater bowling club
amalgamates with the club at
Grand Promenade.”
Bayswater has 500 junior
members and feeds five senior
teams in various competition,
including the national premier
league WA.
The large membership forces
the club to juggle training
sessions at various overflow
sites, including De Lacy Reserve,
Beaufort Park and Wotton
Reserve.
Mr D’Orazio is keen to
build new pitches and facilities,
including extra parking at the
site. Frank Drago Reserve is also
home to the Bayswater tennis,
bowling and croquet clubs.

commitment to decentralise

But WA transport minister

civil servants from their plush
CBD eyries into cheaper digs in
the ‘burbs.
“Part of the department of
transport is moving to 6500sqm

WITH three-quarters of
Perth’s GP services bulkbilled, Labor MP Alannah
MacTiernan says locals will
be hit hard by the Abbott
government’s $7 GP fee.
“Particularly with the elderly,
the management that the GPs
engage in really keeps people
out of hospital,” she says.
A “tsunami of babies” in the
electorate may also see young
families struggle to cope.
“A lot of them are living
fairly close to the wind,” she
says. “It is going to make it
hard for a number of people.
People are really pissed off about
this, they re pissed off with the
betrayal.
“This is undermining the
principle of universal care,
that your health should not be
contingent on your wealth.”
On the ABC’s Bickerfest (aka
A , Treasurer oe Hockey
said $2 of the $7 fee was going
straight to GPs and they could
choose not to pass that cost
onto struggling patients if they
wished.
“What the GPs are telling
me is they don’t reckon the $2
is going to cover their extra
costs from having to collect the
money,” Ms MacTiernan scoffed
She says the clinic she visits
on Beaufort Street appears
absolutely flat tack and may
need to hire a staffer ust to
manage collecting the fee and
passing most of it back to the
government.
“Now suddenly 74 per cent
of presentations are going to
involve a cash exchange. The
idea that they’re going to have a
windfall is nonsense.”
Ms MacTiernan likes the
idea of the 2 billion medical
research fund, but says “you
don’t fund it by an unequal tax
where the sicker you are the
more you pay”.

Drunk in
Perth? Nothing
to see here
WELL, surprise surprise, your
photographer snapped a drunk at
a bus stop after a drunken night
on the town doing who knows
what to all and sundry (Voice,
May 17, 2014).
The only reason he decided to bed
down and sleep there was he knew
no-one (including police, rangers and
council) would take responsibility
to move him on or take him home
before he would make himself a real
nuisance to others.
I wonder what would have
happened if a poor member of the
public had asked him to move on.
The photographer seemed to
be surprised this could happen.
I suggest to him that if he went
to Fremantle, Scarborough or
Northbridge about 2am then
followed these drunks for two or
three minutes, he would get more of
the same, if not much worse.

Saffioti’s
double
standards
LABOR’S accountability
spokesperson ita Sa oti says
$27,000 was an extraordinary
amount to spend on a table and
chairs for the Speaker’s suite.
Western Australians would be
angry their taxes were spent on such
indulgences, she said.
I can remember when Rita
Sa oti, then a staffer, took a 7 ,
taxpayer-funded payout when Labor
lost government but she dipped
straight back into the public purse,
landing a base salary of $123,780 as
an MP.
Though legal the stench of doubledipping is front and centre because
both positions are taxpayer-funded.
Rita, I wouldn’t be too worried
about the $27,000 for furniture.

Safety call for Beaufort
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
BEDFORD residents want
Beaufort Street made safer
for children and elderly
pedestrians.
Alana Culverhouse is
lobbying Bayswater city council
to install a central median island
at the Bedford end of the street
and a dedicated pedestrian
phase at the Grand Promenade
lights. She also wants speed
reduced to either 50 or 40kph.
“There are a number of young
children who will be attending
Inglewood primary school in
the coming years and the lack of
appropriate pedestrian signals
make it very dangerous for
children to understand when it
is safe to cross,” she says.
“As a parent, trying to teach
children about road safety
without dedicated pedestrian
lights is e tremely di cult when
all learning materials feature the
green crossing man.”
Ms Culverhouse says longtime locals have noticed an
increase in both the number of
cars and the speed they travel.
She’s submitted a petition
to council asking for the
safety measures. Council
staff are opposed, telling
councillors pedestrian phasing
is considered su cient”
and median islands are
impractical. They’re backing
minor modifications to improve
visibility costing about $2500
and will ask WA police to
consider installing a red light
camera. “We need to address
these concerns as a priority and
as a matter of public safety,” Ms
Culverhouse says. The safety
issues go before council later this
month.

LANDOWNERS in Vincent
face a relatively mild 3.62 per
cent rates increase this year.
Mayor John Carey says
“we’ve got the lowest rates rise
in seven years”.
Last year’s clocked in at
3.92 per cent, and before that it
hovered in the mid-fours.
The milder increase can
be put down to cash coming
through from the sale of
Tamala Park land, the end of
pricey works at Beatty Park,
and savings from a ban on
councillor travel and a big drop
in donations to charities and
organisations.
Parking fees will shoot up
10 cents an hour, having been
frozen for two years.
Councillors’ requests in
the budget include Cr Ros
Harley wanting $6000 to help
Manna Inc continue feeding the
homeless, Emma Cole requesting
$5000 to pull down the fence to
free the Leederville skate park,
and Mr Carey’s request to put
aside $25,000 to continue the
streets art festival.
The mayor says the budget
has been framed on the
assumption the council will be
“merged” with Perth mid next
year but he “still hopes and
prays that it falls over”.
The draft budget will go out
for 14 days’ advertising before
being set in stone.

Grumpy local
clouds trader
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
AN old lady is making
life hell for the owner of a
Beaufort Street convenience
and smoking accessories
store, who claims to have
been persecuted and racially
abused.
Since opening Lucky 9 and
Cloud 9 under one roof on
May 1, joint owner Nam—a
pharmacist—says he’s had visits
from the WA police, WA health
department and Vincent city
council.
“This one old lady keeps
phoning everyone up and saying
that we’re selling drugs,” he told
the Voice. “It’s absolute rubbish,
all we sell is legal smoke
accessories in the Cloud 9 area of
the store.
“She came in and racially
abused me, it’s disgusting. I’m
open and non-discriminatory.
“I painted the front of my
store with a rainbow in support
of gay people—that was a
deliberate statement.”
Nam says the only way he
and his partners could afford the
rent was to have the two stores
under one roof.
The Voice understands rent is
more than $10,000 per month.
He claims to have spent
,
on fitting out the shop,
which includes a convenience
store, caf and ornate flower
shed. “Under advice from the
health department we blocked
off the loud area of the shop
and put up an over-18s sign,” he
says.
“The bongs are all in glass
cabinets so you can’t see much
from the convenience store.
“I spent a fortune setting up
a beautiful flower shed at the
back—the locals love it.”
But local resident Janet de Bijl
says it is disgraceful the council
allowed Cloud 9 to open.
“Do they not care about our
youth or the reputation of our
area,” she wrote. “To me it is
unconscionable to allow such
a business to operate: am I
correct that cannabis is an illegal
substance? A pathetic sign on
the door says the implements
are only to be used for tobacco—
who are they fooling?”
Nam, 32, says he was born in
Australia and isn’t judgemental.
“I don’t judge people who
come into the Cloud 9 store.
“There are three sex shops
and a tobacco store down the
road, so why this old lady keeps
focusing on our place is bizarre.
“I’m starting to feel a bit
persecuted—we’ve spent a lot of
my money opening this business
and really want to make it work.
“The rents are so high—we
had to try something a bit
different ”

F women have so many
choices today, why do they
all come in pink?” asks
photographer and academic Deedee
Noon.
Her exhibition Pinkification: Rethinking
Pink grew out of an entry a couple of
years ago in FotoFreo.
The series of portraits looks at the
impact, and conflicting messages, of
“pink is for girls”.
The portrait sitters, aged eight to
88, chose a pseudonym parodying the
feminised marketing of pink, Noon says.
Cockburn mum Pink Strawberry
Shortcake and daughter Lovely Pink are
bonded by a love of the colour.
“After a family breakup she associated
pink with her mother’s love and safety,”
Noon says.
Mum’s Gothic Lolita styled pink is
inspired by a childhood memory of a
country fair and a girl on a float in pink
petticoats, ribbons and lace.
“[She] longed to be that girl.”
The commodification of pink and its
impact on girls is an issue raising serious
concerns internationally.
consumer affairs minister enny
Willott came out recently saying it’s
damaging the economy as young women
tend to go into lower paid jobs such as
nursing, rather than engineering and
physics because of gender stereotyping
through colour as children.
“It is a really important issue and it’s
fundamentally important to our economy
as well, it’s not just a side issue,” she told
the Telegraph in February.
Prior to the 1970s people only knew
the gender of their baby after a birth, but
ultrasound has allowed an unfettered
increase in the marketing of “pinkness”,
Noon says.
“What are you having wasn’t a
question before. Why has that become so
important?”
Some women, such as pop star Pink!,
use it as a marker of womanpower but a
“I feel like
Indian
tonight.”

recent proposal by Queensland premier
Campbell Newman to dress law-breaking
male bikies in punitive pink outfits
endorses pink as a weak colour, Noon
says.
“If pink is used as punishment for men
what does that say about women?” she
asks.
Noon’s fascination with pink grew
after a visit to a toy shop.
“I was overwhelmed by the vast
number of pink products for girls, and
yet there appeared no blue-coloured
correlation for boys.”
In the UK Ms Willott, and others, are
calling for toys to be less gender-specific
If the iconic orange ‘60s space hopper
were invented today “there would be one
that is pink and looks like a cupcake, and
there would be one that is camouflaged

khaki,” she says.
Toys targetting girls promote the twin
peaks of a manufactured femininity, Noon
says: “Caring and domestic pursuits, and
prettiness and physical appearance.”
Do girls really like pink, she poses:
“Little girls want pink because what they
want comes in pink.”
Even big girls can’t escape with a
plethora of pink products, including
disposable razors.
“Even if you don’t want pink you’re
forced into it because it only comes in
pink,” Noon says.

E had the good
sense to phone
ahead for a table
as we drove to the Beaufort
Street Merchant in Highgate.
Wafted to a corner nook at
the back of the huge industrialgrunge theme eatery we felt
quite smug as lesser mortals
queued.
The oft-heard lament around
Perth is of poor service, but the
folks at this cafe have it nailed.
While my mate and I checked
out shelves of comestibles to
purchase and take home, the
waiter sought us out to say our
food had arrived. A second
waiter stopped us en-route with
the same message.
Friendly and very, very
e cient the staff made an
enjoyable meal even more so:
worth every cent of their wellearned penalty rates.
The Merchant started life as
a gourmet goods retailer with a
small cafe, but as word spread
the shelves shrank to fit in more
diners and it’s the other way
around now.
There’s still plenty of
delicious things to take away,

funky coffee makers and a
fantastic range of wines, but
food is where it’s at judging by
the many happy customers.
Brother and sister Scott and
Angie Taylor are behind this
popular eatery and are also
responsible for the trendy and
upmarket Trustee Bar and Bistro

Suffering from an
overindulgence the night before
I kicked off my Merchant
breakfast with a beetroot,
wheatgrass, carrot and spirulina
juice ($7.50). It actually was quite
remarkable in its effect
But possibly not so much as
my mate’s watermelon, apple,
mint and rose water.
She waxed lyrical about
Middle Eastern bazaars,
soft breezes, colour and
movement as the rose
water lingered on her
tongue, clearly affecting
her brain.
Food was needed for
her and me.
In my case it was
tru ed mushrooms
($20). The kitchen was
happy to swap the
AS YOU LIKE IT
customary poached eggs for
Spanish potatoes and I reckon
I’m on to something: they should
keep it on the menu.
The tru e-oil mushrooms
and spicy potatoes were a match
made in heaven in my humble
opinion, aided beautifully with
the bed of polenta, rocket and
shaved parmesan.
My mate enjoyed her
caramelised leek croquette, with
poached eggs, bacon and lemonscented rocket ($21): crunchy on
the outside with a creamy, leekfilled centre, which she enthused
went perfectly with the saltiness
of the bacon.
We lingered long and the
cakes we’d passed at the front
sent their siren song, so we
ordered more coffees to go,
along with a fig and ricotta tart
and a pear tart ($7). Both were
worth the extra millimetres on
the waistline, while the coffees
were smooth and delicious.

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
The Moon begins the week in Aries. Add
this to the wispy winds of the Gemini
Sun, and life could show signs of unpredictability and
change. It could seem like the fates are being fickle.
Under the choppy waves on the surface, there’s a
world of depth and silence underneath.
TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)
As the Sun moves into Gemini, so you
retire into a quieter place. Venus is still in
Aries, so love will keep adding a little chilli, to ensure
that quietude doesn’t morph into blandness. Use your
solitude wisely. What you come up with in your alone
time will determine your next move.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)
The Sun is in Gemini, shining on your
paradoxical wonderland. You are
both spritely curious intelligence, and a deep current
of reflective silence. The temptation is to choose one.
Then you get floored by the other. It’s only in embracing
wholeness that the twins get really happy.
CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)
Though there are all sorts of winds
buffeting the surface, there are strong
currents operating under the surface, too. You are
heavily involved in these things going on under the
surface, in one way or another. Be one of the voices
having effect, outside the realm of headlines.
LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
As the Sun moves into Gemini, so
you feel lighter and more able to get
into motion. You are no longer held down by Taurean
heaviness. Shake your mane and swish your tail. It’s
time to get curious and be inspired. Real things, like
harmony and justice, are the best motivators
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
There’s a lot going on in the windy world of
Gemini. If you get caught in other people’s
intellectual gymnastics, frustration will ensue. Stay
true to your heart and listen for those who touch your
emotional essence. The ideas that matter are the ones
that are attuned to feeling.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
That which frustrates you and even
presses your buttons, will be what
ultimately motivates you and crystallises understanding.
It’s hard for Librans to be emotionally messy, yet it is
often emotional messiness that is a catalyst for the next
layer of richness and beauty. Be messy.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
Though the Sun is in airy Gemini,
and the Moon is in fiery Aries, there
is a current of emotion and feeling operating at the
moment that is deeper and more relevant. You are right
there at the heart of the meaning being built under the
surface. Trust your feelings. Don’t be distracted.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Relationship is the greatest teacher. It is
in intimacy that we receive our greatest
education. Love demands that we put our own
agendas aside on a regular basis. To hold on to our
prejudices, prejudices love. You are in the thick of this
lovely transformative dilemma. Be changed.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Where others are in conflict, it is your
job to hold them together, to right the
balance. With Pluto as your guide, it will be in opening
up the possibilities of realness and the possibilities
of transformation, that you do this. Every existential
dilemma is a door. Keep finding the keys.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Where others are sweating about safety and
security, it is your job to inspire courage and
adventurousness. Offer truth gently and playfully. The
moment you get too serious, dogged, or fixed, it will go
pear-shaped. The Gemini Sun is here to remind you of
the gift of lightness.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Though there is a lot of wave activity
happening on the surface, you have a
direct link to the powerful currents that are going on
under the surface. On the surface there are tales of
conflict. Under the surface, a narrative of depth, peace
and wholeness is being built. Help it along.

Congratulations to WA Italian Club on

State Member for Perth
Eleni Evangel MLA
Buona Festa!
From the team at Trenz
An Italian
Connection
F
ESTA della Repubblica
is the Italian national
holiday, making June 2
the most important day on
the country’s calendar.
It happily ties in with WA Day,
ensuring celebrations for this
year’s Italian Festival in Perth
are enjoyed by many over the
long weekend.
The day marks the historic
vote in 1946 when post-facsism
and post-war Italians flocked
to the polls to reject the Savoy
monarchy and become a republic.
In Rome a huge military
parade marks the day, but
things are a little more relaxed
in laid-back Perth: May 24 kicks
off a week of more genteel
celebrations, organised by the
Italo-Australian Welfare and
Cultural Centre, in North Perth.
The aim is to showcase
all things Italian to the wider
community, president Enzo
Sirna says.
“And the important
contribution Italians have made
to our diverse community. They
have enriched our society.”
On the first night there’s
a dinner dance at the Italian
Club, with Tony Pantano, Nick
Agostino and Friends, and a
couple of Italian film nights and
a bridge competition follows.
Wednesday May 28 is the
long-anticipated announcement
of the winners of the la
competizione dolciaria (the
sweets competition), and to
find out whose home-made
vino is the best—not to mention
presentation of the Italian
community awards.
A dignified Mass celebrating
the foundation of the Italian
republic at St Brigid’s church
marks the beginning of the end
of the week’s celebrations.
But when the sun goes down,
the ball gowns will come out
rivalling the stars for glitter as
Italian guys and gals frock up
for the Italian National gala ball.

Leaving behind the lush green
mountainous region of their
home in the province of Lucca,
Garfagnana in Tuscany, the flat
brown harshness of WA in the
1950s was confronting to say the
least.
Struggling with language and
homesickness Narciso, Carlo,
Stefano and Florindo worked in
a variety of jobs, including at an
orchard in Karagullen.
When Florindo became
assistant chef at a restaurant, the
brothers were inspired by his
passionate urgings to open The
Romany in Northbridge in 1958.
Now the oldest Italian eatery
in Perth, The Romany is still going
strong after more than 60 years,
although no longer owned by the
family.
Meat and three veg (usually
boiled and tasteless) had been
standard fare for anglicised
Aussies in the 1950s and ‘60s
and garlic was looked on
with such deep suspicion that
“garlic muncher” was used
perjoratively to describe Italians
(and Frenchmen). Even pasta
was deemed too exotic for the
xenophobic tastes of the time.
Very few shops stocked staples
dear to the heart of lovers of Italian
food, so the brothers were driven
to make their own.
Demand became so great they
imported equipment from Italy
and began selling pasta direct to
the public, which soon spread
beyond immigrant communities.
With the brothers getting older
and the long hours working at the
restaurant taking their toll, the
Romany was sold in 1988.
That heralded in a new
venture, with the next generation
of Lenzarinis ramping up the
pasta business under the name
Golden Ravioli.
Narciso, now 85, is the last
surviving brother but there’s
plenty of children and grandchildren coming up through the
ranks to ensure the family business
continues.
“Now we have gone to the third
generation,” Linda Lenzarini says.
The family has received plenty
of recognition over the years for
its achievements, including a
gong from the Italian Chamber
of Commerce in Lucca, which
recognises those promoting Italian
culture outside Italy.

AST year ’s Miss Italy
Australia Dana Bechelli
missed the opportunity
to vie for an international title
when the competition’s Italian
leg was cancelled.
commitment to Ms Bechelli and
when Italy reinstates its pageant,
she will be Australia’s entry—as
long as it’s before the 22-year-old
turns 27, the cut-off age for taking
part, he says.
The beauty competition for
Italian women living abroad
(or foreign women with Italian
parents, grandparents, or greatgrandparents) started when the
late Mr Mirigliani visited the US
and was stunned by the large
number of American-Italians.
“He was bowled over and
thought he should do something
to recognise Italians abroad,” Mr
Sirna says.
PINA NICOLETTI isn’t
sure whether she has
six or seven trophies for
the torte she’s whipped
up for the annual
Italian Festival’s “la
competizione dolciaria”
(sweets competition).
“I didn’t compete one
year, and mum won,” she
tells the Voice.
There’s a tradition,
and passion, for sweetsmaking handed down the
family’s generations of
women: “Mum was my
teacher, and I’m going to
teach my girls so they can
pick up where I leave off,”
Mrs Nicoletti says. The
secret of her success is to
make everything herself,
including the sponge and
custard and using quality,
fresh cream: “And I use
mum’s home-made liquor
inside the cake.”
Ta s t e i s v i t a l , b u t
decoration makes it a lot
of fun: “I try to do an Italian
theme, with the Italian flag
and I use edible glitter.”
The winner of this year’s
“la competizione dolciaria”
will be announced at the
Italian Club, Wednesday
May 28.
Ms Bechelli says she had such
a good time vying for the title in
Adelaide in 2012 she was happy
to give it another shot in 2013, and
was surprised to win.
The role is one of ambassador
for the Italian community at
events, and while Ms Bechelli
says she enjoyed Italian Day at the
races, “the real highlight was the
honour of winning”.
All money raised goes to good
causes, in the case of WA the
IAWCC’s aged care service.
For the first time, this year Miss
Italy will MC the gala ball at the
Pan Pacific Hotel in Perth, Sunday
June 1.

Matthew Dwyer snapped this
happy gang of around 60 Italian
seniors heading off for a day of
exploration. The trip was organised
by the Giovani di Una Certa Eta (it
means “youth of a certain age” says
Licia Stazzonelli, who was on the
bus). The day ended with a visit to
a Gingin olive oil farm. The social
group has around 700 members
and regular outings include a threecourse lunch and dance at the Italian
Club each month for just $25.
