Click here to get back to where you came from A primary school has slammed a P&C fundraiser held on its campus after a father wore blackface and a dreadlocked wig before winning the prize for best dressed The man wore the offensive outfit to a '90s themed bingo night organised by the P&C committee at North Woodvale Primary School in Perth's north The guest was seen wearing brown face paint gold and black body suit in now-deleted photos from the event on May 25 Guests were invited to come as their favourite '90s character with the man dressing as a member of the Jamaican bobsleigh team from the comedy Cool Runnings The school's P&C bingo committee has been forced to apologise after the matter was brought to the attention of North Woodvale's principal the committee said it had been 'naive' to the complex history of blackface when it heralded the father as best dressed on the night 'North Woodvale Primary School P&C bingo committee would like to own and acknowledge our mistake and our own personal naivety in not understanding the complex history of a certain costume which we awarded best dressed male costume on the night of May 25th at our bingo fundraiser,' it said 'We sincerely apologise to the wider school and the Woodvale community for the hurt it clearly caused We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and welcoming committee within our school and will learn from our mistakes.' Education Department Director General Lisa Rodgers told the West Australian the incident was 'disappointing and unacceptable'.  She saaid the bingo night had been held off-site and without any staff present and did not reflect the school's culture and values. 'As soon as this matter was brought to the attention of the school principal, he immediately contacted the president of the P&C association to raise his concerns and express his disappointment,' Ms Rodgers said.  Blackface routines were common through much of the 20th century but a white person taking the stage with their skin darkened, particularly for comedic purposes, is now considered offensive in most contexts.  Daily Mail Australia has contacted North Woodvale Primary School for comment.

Diversified Property Fund has divested Woodvale Boulevard Shopping Centre in Western Australia to a local syndicator for $36.5 million Nigel Freshwater and Sean Flynn – said the publicised on-market

27,000sqm land holding in a catchment area with an average household income of $121,446 – 6.2 per cent higher than the WA average “Western Australia’s retail investment market has shown resilience despite wider macro-economic volatility affecting other markets,” said Hatcher “Transaction numbers in the first half of the year were nearly double the five-year historical average reflective of investor interest into the state.” “With the cost of capital significantly rising in recent months investors’ return hurdles have been impacted resulting in an increase in demand for higher-yielding assets By continuing, you agree to Octomedia Terms And Conditions and Privacy Policy Woodvale the Atlanta-based private equity real estate firm has completed the purchase of four Marriott branded hotel properties across three states in the Southeast.The portfolio represents an opportunistic addition to Woodvale’s assets under management The acquisition closes out a fund raised in 2023 for the purpose of purchasing distressed assets in the Southeast “We’re very excited about these acquisitions and the value they bring to our investors,” said Rahim Charania “This fund was designed to capitalize on opportunistic pricing in a unique market environment allowing our investors and partners to achieve exceptional returns and I feel we were able to meet those goals with this portfolio” The debt markets have faced significant challenges in 2024 and a surge of approaching loan maturities across all asset classes these pressures resulted in historically low transaction volumes and sharply declining valuations creating rare opportunities for well-capitalized investors Woodvale leveraged these market conditions to acquire the portfolio of four Marriott-branded properties in the Southeast The broader real estate market faced significant headwinds in 2024 with many transactions falling apart due to financing constraints Sellers frequently struggled to find reliable buyers “Our strategy of purchasing assets all-cash proved to be instrumental as sellers prioritized certainty of closing,” said Bashir Mansour Vice President of Acquisitions at Woodvale “By staying well-capitalized and maintaining an aggressive acquisition approach we secured favorable pricing while providing sellers with the confidence they needed—a strategy that proved highly effective in this unique market environment.” The fund’s success has positioned Woodvale to launch a follow-up fund focused on hotel and multifamily acquisitions expected to deploy in the first half of 2025 “Building on the momentum of our first hospitality fund we believe there is a continued opportunity to acquire high-quality assets at favorable prices,” Charania added and we’re optimistic about the opportunities ahead.” © Copyright 2012 - 2023 | citybiz | All Rights Reserved For best viewing experience of this website Please enter a place name in the search bar After provisionally the warmest

analysed recorded a current median value at or above $1 million, up from a recent low of 21 per cent in January 2023 following the start of the rate-tightening cycle. CoreLogic economist Kaytlin Ezzy said Perth came in third, with 35 new entrants and one re-entrant to the million-dollar club over the year. It also marked the first time that unit markets in four Perth suburbs topped the million-dollar mark. “Despite recording the highest annual rise in dwelling values among the capitals and rest of state regions, Perth’s relatively low starting point resulted in fewer new seven-figure markets compared to Sydney and Brisbane,” Ezzy said. “At the other end of the scale are Melbourne and regional Victoria, where dwelling values fell by one per cent over the year. “An unfavourable investment taxation environment, a higher level of new housing completions, and an above average level of advertised supply have put downwards pressure on values, resulting in fewer new million-dollar entrants in Melbourne and a net decline across Regional Victoria.” Ezzy said it was unlikely that Perth had reached the peak in the number of million-dollar markets. Rate cuts may be imminent. What impact will they have on Perth house prices? Mammoth $20 million Cottesloe property poised to obliterate WA record With listings soaring in some suburbs, has Perth’s competitive house market turned a corner? “As of August, there are 24 suburbs with a median value above $990,000 currently recording positive quarterly value growth,” she said. “It’s likely we’ll see a number of these markets cross the million-dollar threshold within the next few months.” Perth led the country in value growth, with dwelling values up 24.2 per cent over the year to August. This has resulted in a 56 per cent increase in the number of seven-figure suburbs compared to last year with 31-house and four-unit markets entered the club for the first time and one house suburb (Highgate) re-entered the club, taking the total count to 100. Perth’s inner, north-west and south-west regions each had 26 markets with a seven-figure median value in August, while the south-east and north-east regions had 19 and three, respectively. Mandurah is now the only SA4 region in Perth that does not have a million-dollar market. Nine of Perth’s top 10 most expensive house markets are located in the Cottesloe–Claremont sub-region, with Dalkeith recording the highest median value at $3.5 million. Similarly, all four of the newly minted million-dollar unit markets (Cottesloe, Crawley, Floreat, and Swanbourne) are in the exclusive beachside neighbourhood. Despite recording the highest annual increase in values across the regional markets (up 19 per cent), regional WA saw just one house market, Dunsborough ($1.2 million), join the million dollar club, taking the total count to three. Quindalup ($1,377,367) and Yallingup ($1,654,267) were the only other markets to record a house median above the $1 million mark.

The business owner explained he cannot accept illegal immigrants or asylum seekers as tenants due to the need for references and guarantors "The idea we are letting houses to this group of people is a total nonsense Mr McDowell went on to explain a previous demonstration outside his business and other estate agents took place last Friday with people gathering outside the building with placards "This was anger and frustration again about the level of immigration and particularly targeted at asylum seekers,” he added "We got wind of that and as the group started to assemble we looked the door there were five of us inside the building and we put our shutters down They started shouting come out and rattling the shutters "[It] was circulating that Rea Estates are the cause of the problem in the area that we are the ones who are housing asylum seekers and illegal immigrants "People were warning me and warning in particular the staff We were expecting something further could happen "You are targeting completely the wrong person.” Mr McDowell also revealed tenants of his have started to leave Northern Ireland out of fear of being targeted, including a nurse who worked in the health service who he said is returning to India. "There is one tenant who said he has had enough he is going back to Africa. "I know of another family, a husband and wife and I think they had one child - who returned to India. "She was a nurse and she left Belfast. She didn't feel safe anymore. "Her house was targeted and a sticker put on the window which made it very clear that because of where she was born she wasn't welcome in the area. She gave up a well paid job and left.” Mr McDowell’s urged those behind the attack to understand he and his staff are “trying to do the best for the local community”. "I have never experienced this I have never had people working for me who are scared,” he said. "Whoever is doing this, the chatter is wrong it is on social media but it is wrong. We are not doing what you think we do. "What I would say to them is think about the people who work in Rea Estates who may well be your neighbours. They have kids at the same school as yours. Think of them. They are not the bad people. "We are just a very ordinary business trying to do the best for the local community.” Speaking about the attack on the estate agents on Wednesday morning PSNI temporary assistant chief constable Melanie Jones said: “We dealt with a report of a hijacking in the Fingal Street area of west Belfast at around 8.45pm, followed by a report that a car was deliberately driven at a business in the Woodvale Road area, causing damage to the shutters. The suspects made off from the scene.” Receive today's headlines directly to your inbox every morning and evening Please check your inbox to verify your details Jason Stefanski murdered his father and neighbour at his Woodvale home in September last year. (ABC News: Katrin Long) Link copiedShareShare articleA Perth man with schizophrenia has been sentenced to life in jail with a 23-year minimum for "savage" and "frenzied" attacks that killed his father and a neighbour. Jason Stefanski, 24, pleaded guilty to murdering his father Ranier, 69, and his neighbour Bill Butler, 68, in Woodvale in September 2014. The Supreme Court was told Stefanski was in a "florid psychotic" state, caused by his undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenia and his "continuous" use of cannabis in the hours before the murders. Stefanski's lawyer, Michael Perella, said because his client did not know he was mentally ill, he was unaware that his voluntary consumption of cannabis would have the consequences it did. Mr Perella said Stefanski was delusional and hearing voices that were telling him to hurt and kill others. The court was told both victims were so savagely beaten that their relatives were unable to recognise them. Stefanski killed his father first in the backyard of their home and then attacked Mr Butler when the neighbour went to help him. Justice Stephen Hall said it was "chilling to think that the humanity that caused Mr Butler to leave the safety of his house ... was the same humanity, that put him in the position to be attacked by you". Justice Hall said both victims were "vulnerable and defenceless" and subjected to "merciless" attacks. The court also heard that just before the murders, when Stefanksi's mother saw him shaking and in an angry state, she made calls to a medical help line, her local doctor and family members to try to get help for him. Justice Hall noted the role cannabis played in the murders, saying while there was a "general view" it was a "benign drug", it was well recognised it could lead to serious situations when it was used by people with schizophrenia. After sentencing Mr Butler's sister, Kaye Sinclair, said her brother was a helpful person who "would do anything for anybody". "To see him go like that is not good," she said. "Hopefully one day we'll get over this and get on with our lives." Mr Butler's wife was also in court for the sentencing, but made no comment as she left. With time already served, Stefanski's earliest release date will be in September 2037.

miles from a fire Wednesday morning Community members say they could see the smoke from the Woodvale Drive fire all the way from Alligator Road According to a release from the Florence Fire Department officials responded to a structure fire on Woodvale Drive The release said officials found a single-story detached garage and multiple vehicles with fire and smoke showing Florence Fire Department confirmed that all residents were out of the main house and multiple hose lines extinguished the fire Some community members said they can see all the smoke even from Alligator Road Florence Fire Department had the fire under control a few minutes after arriving on the scene The cause of the fire is undetermined by the Florence Fire Department A FORMER Carlton footballer from colonial days is to have a central Victorian oval named in his honour represented Carlton in 16 matches through its premiership season of 1874 and also served the Club as a committeeman The Australasian of June 1895 also notes that Boyle was Carlton’s first delegate to the Football Association Boyle was one of the most important and influential Australian cricketers of the 1870s and 1880s He represented Victoria and Australia as its 17th Test cricketer – and in 1882 at The Kennington Oval famously took the final match-winning wicket against England which led to the creation of The Ashes The ground identified as the future Harry Boyle Oval is the Woodvale Recreation Reserve located about 14 kilometres north of Bendigo and a short drive from neighbouring Eaglehawk The area was known as Sydney Flat at the time Boyle spent his formative years there in the 1850s and ’60s While the oval’s genesis was undoubtedly the result of a community effort Boyle is credited as leader of a group of youths who worked tirelessly to get the oval completed in time for the 1863 cricket season Driving the initiative to name the oval is Matt Thompson who relocated to the area from Melbourne some 21 years ago Thompson learned about Boyle’s connection to the oval from Bendigo historian Peter MacIver who is researching a proposed book about Harry Boyle The Boyle family came to the goldfields from Sydney in 1853 Daniel had a successful spell looking for gold and later settled in Sydney Flat where he established the Australian Store/Hotel The premises was on the main road and very close to where the oval was positioned a few years later Shortly after Boyle’s death in December 1907 Dave Scott (Boyle’s lifelong friend and business partner) penned a memorial article for The Referee about Harry Scott described how in 1857 or 1858 he had first heard of Boyle as “a wonderful boy cricketer whose bowling was causing great havoc amongst the stumps” Following a successful spell playing for Sydney Flat (on the oval he helped create) Harry joined the ‘big’ club in Bendigo Such was Boyle’s progress that in season 1865/’66 (at 19 years of age) he was selected to play for Bendigo against a strong Victorian team Boyle took 4-11 and 4-9 with Bendigo winning by an innings and seven runs During the off-seasons between 1872 and ’74 In July 1873 he was named by the Bendigo Advertiser in a squad of footballers selected to meet Melbourne at the Kangaroo Flat Cricket Ground While it is not clear if Boyle turned out for that game a report in The Australasian from July 1872 described him as exhibiting fine play in a game for Sandhurst against South Yarra Boyle’s continued form for the BUCCs kept him on the radar of the big metropolitan teams and following a fine performance in a Colts match against a strong Melbourne CC team in the 1871—72 season he was invited to play for the East Melbourne Cricket Club by Alfred E Clarke For a couple of years Boyle would travel to Melbourne each weekend (full expenses paid) to play for the Jolimonters eventually becoming the third captain of the EMCC Boyle was primarily a cricketer and one of the most important events in his cricketing life occurred just prior to his permanent move to Melbourne In December 1873 Boyle became the first man to bowl WG Grace when he played for Victoria against the Leviathan’s touring English XI beat the champion and clean bowled his middle stump” Scott souvenired the ball Boyle used and it now resides in the Australian cricket museum at the MCG Boyle’s success against Grace established him as one of Victoria’s leading bowlers He became a regular fixture in the Victorian XI and was also a selector for many years Between 1872 and 1888 he played for Victoria in 28 first-class matches taking 62 wickets at an average of 19.56 while with the bat he accumulated 614 runs at an average of 12.03 from 51 innings Boyle also captained the Vics in the inter-colonial games of 1875 Boyle’s connection with the Carlton Football Club can be sourced to 1874 when he represented the senior 20 as a defender throughout the season The newspapers were generally positive about Boyle’s play in ’74 although one report has the umpire and Boyle being ‘hooted’ at by a mob over a disallowed goal in a game against Albert Park Boyle was supposed to have touched the ball just before it passed the goal line It appears that Boyle stopped playing football at the top level beyond the 1874 season as his name is not recorded on team lists for the Carlton first or second 20s for competitive matches A football first - the charging of admission at the gate - occurred on Boyle’s watch in 1875 lost his sight and use of his hands in a mining accident Carlton and Melbourne agreed to charge patrons a cost of sixpence to view their third match of the season at the University Cricket Ground £106 was taken at the gate and after expenses a sum of £97 3s 4d was handed to the Jackson family along with other monies raised in Sandhurst enabled the family to start a small business and escape the potential of poverty due to Edward’s injury Boyle’s last on-field involvement with the Carlton senior 20 appears to have occurred in June 1877 The following year he assisted John Conway in identifying the Victorian players for the national team which embarked on a tour of the Australian colonies Boyle was also involved with football affairs as Carlton’s first delegate to the Football Association He was also a member of the football club’s committee of management in 1875 Following the successful Australian XI tour of 1878 Boyle established the Boyle and Scott’s Cricket which hugely impacted upon Victorian and Australian Cricket in the 1880s Boyle became one of the most famous players in the cricketing world and with the constant demands of arranging tours and touring this period appears to have marked the end of his active involvement in football - although in August 1889 he did appear in an old boy’s match for Carlton against Geelong to raise money for the Geelong Hospital Boyle toured England with Australian cricket teams as a player in 1878 Renowned as an exceptionally accurate medium pacer with a deadly leg break Boyle and the legendary Frederick Spofforth formed the greatest bowling combination of the age – as exemplified in 1878 when they dismissed a powerful MCC side at Lords for 33 and 19 the pair (through their bowling) were largely responsible for the famous win at Kennington Oval in 1882 which gave birth to the Ashes legend W G Grace wrote of Boyle that he “had a rare head on his shoulders and was often successful in getting batsmen out when other bowlers equally as good had tried and completely failed” Following the closure of Boyle and Scott in 1892 and time in Queensland and Tasmania Boyle returned to work for the Victorian Government as Inspector of Tracks based in Walhalla After he was retrenched from this position he became Collector for the Melbourne Benevolent Asylum a position he filled until his death in 1907 Boyle clearly never lost his love of football and Carlton having been released from hospital following major surgery Boyle fronted up to the Melbourne Cricket Ground to see Jack Worrall’s Carlton overwhelm South Melbourne to secure the second of three consecutive League premierships A number of reporters remarked favourably of his attendance on Grand Final but barely two months later Boyle was gone Shortly after attending the football match Boyle travelled to Bendigo to stay with his brother-in-law for the purpose of further recuperating from the operation He quickly relapsed and was taken to Nurse McKinnon’s Private Hospital where he died on 21 November 1907 Boyle and his wife Margaret Wilson Scott had no children and it also appears that his two sister’s families have also died out Boyle was descended from two first fleeters (one a convict and one a marine) and a glance at the First Fleet website indicates that there are thousands of Australians with blood connections to him who greatly assisted in the research for this article He assisted Richard Cashman and Ric Sissons with research for their book Billy Murdoch: Cricketing Colossus and is currently working on a proposed book about Boyle MacIver’s interest in Boyle stems from pieces he wrote for the Bendigo Advertiser a number of years ago Through his research for a proposed book on Boyle he came into contact with Matthew Thompson and informed him of the Boyle connection to the oval at Woodvale “Matthew and I are both keen to try and gain Harry Boyle the recognition he deserves and while I have helped Matthew with information and contacted a few people the success in getting the oval renamed has been largely down to his efforts.” Thompson’s interest in Boyle was based on his own passion for cricket given his family connection with sports equipment manufacturer Kookaburra Sport which was established in Melbourne by Alfred Grace (AG) Thompson in 1890 But he was mindful too of Boyle’s Carlton connection – which he hopes will stimulate further interest at a ground which has not seen a football match staged there since 1970 The Carlton Reserves

Resources Victoria has provided an update on the rehabilitation of the Woodvale Evaporation Ponds Complex and the Kangaroo Flat site near Bendigo The Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV) has catalogued more than 2000 drill holes and almost 1700 pallets of drill core at the Woodvale Evaporation Ponds Complex prior to transferring 223 pallets to the drill core library in Werribee for further evaluation and storage Resources Victoria said by preserving some of these Woodvale samples that were stockpiled by the former licensee they can be studied without further drilling required “The drill core to be stored at the Geological Survey of Victoria’s drill core library are valuable geoscientific assets which will improve our understanding of Bendigo’s geology,” Resources Victoria chief executive officer Matt Vincent said Stage two removal of the remaining drill core from the Woodvale site in now underway rehabilitation works at the Kangaroo Flat continues with the tailing storage facility being covered with rock to suppress dust levels over the summer period “The Earth Resources Regulator has permanently sealed the Swan Decline the primary gateway to Bendigo’s historical underground mining,” Vincent said “We’ve unearthed significant historical records and snapshots at Kangaroo Flat dating back to the 1850s and it’s great to be able to pass these on to the Bendigo

The clue is in the surname. Son and grandson of former Ireland captains Stephen and Larry – both Woodvale stalwarts – Harry has a lot to live up to, but even he admits that captaining the team at the top of the NCU Premier League halfway through the 2024 season is a surprise. “After last season (when Woodvale finished 12 points adrift of eighth place with only relegated Derriaghy below them), I definitely didn’t expect to be up there,” says Harry. “But we came into this season with higher expectations. “There is a better spirit around the club, winning obviously helps a lot, but the boys have taken more ownership, and when you perform week in, week out, it’s nice to be sitting at the top.” The 824 club runs so far of Player of the Season Ruhan Pretorius, backed up by professional Ludwig Kaestner, have obviously been key to Woodvale’s League success in the 2024 season, but they are also in the Semi-Final of the Challenge Cup and, in the last round, they progressed without the help of their two stars. “Ruhan and Ludwig have scored a lot of runs this year, but there have been other contributions which perhaps you don’t see in the summary scoresheets throughout the whole team,” Warke adds. “Every team has two or three paid players, so we’re no different, and we’ve been lucky both of ours have come off. “But in the Challenge Cup Quarter-Final against Waringstown at home, Ruhan and Ludwig only combined for 14 runs (in a total of 217). “Waringstown are one of the strongest teams in the League, but contributions from elsewhere is how we managed to win that game, so that was the best team performance of the season.” Woodvale were drawn away to Muckamore as they bid to reach their first Challenge Cup Final since 2000 in what Warke describes as a ‘tasty’ tie, but on Saturday, he gets the chance to size up the opposition when the League leaders travel to Moylena. He says: “They have worked out how to play well at home, I don’t think they have lost a 50-over match there this season. “Beating CIYMS (with a last wicket stand of 40) shows they know how to win at home, but hopefully, this Saturday, we’ll be able to gauge how best to play there and take it into the Semi-Final. “Either way, it’s going to be tough in the Cup, no matter who wins on Saturday. We would have liked a home draw, but I’m happy enough. You have to beat everyone to win the Cup.” Stephen Warke appeared in three consecutive Finals for Woodvale from 1998, scoring a century in the club’s last success that year before Harry was born. Harry’s earliest memory was being taken down to the nets at Templepatrick. “Rugby and cricket were the main sports, I played mini rugby at Ballyclare so it was natural I started at Templepatrick (based in Ballyclare),” he reflects. “I then moved to Carrick to play with my school friends, but after I finished school, I was looking for more opportunities and Wayne Horwood got in contact and it was an easy decision to go to Woodvale and play for them, like my grandad, dad, cousins and uncles. They also had just been promoted to the Premier League.” Taking over as captain was another natural progression as he followed in dad’s footsteps. Warke adds: “I had always captained through age group cricket and never minded the extra pressure of captaincy, so when Jamie Gibson, after leading Woodvale for many years, wanted to step down, I was happy to put my name forward and, thankfully, in my first season, it is going well so far. “It helped that dad knows what he is talking about, you get the odd, ‘Oh, he is Stephen’s son’, but it’s nothing that has held me back. The only pressure I get is from dad, but there are no external factors.” Meanwhile, barely three hours of play was possible on the penultimate day of Ireland XI’s game against West Indies Academy at Stormont. There are two sessions to get a result on Friday when the tourists resume on 148 for three, still 93 behind. On Thursday, the Irish surprisingly batted on, adding 44 runs to be all out for 441.
