Referrals to other health professionals may also be arranged for further investigation if necessary.

If only we could put this whole post in sign language. Those who know Subiaco long-term resident, Leanne Potter, know she has a big, big heart. The former Principal of Shenton College’s Deaf Education Centre and champion of Auslan was speechless when she opened the paper on Australia Day to find she had been awarded a Public Service Medal for her 40-yearcommitment to deaf education and the Deaf community. And we know it takes a lot to make her speechless.

The PSM is a civil decoration awarded to a limited number of Australian public servants annually, for their outstanding service.

Now retired – but doing occasional life coaching – Potter is still an active participant in the Subi community, continuing to earn the respect of her former colleagues and those in the deaf community.

Her list of achievements is too long to list here. And rest assured, she won’t be telling you. But thousands of deaf people are fluttering away in appreciation and deafening applause.

Subi’s museum reopens

SUBIACO MUSEUM HAS reopened with two new exciting offerings for the public: an exhibition in the museum’s community artist series, and a museum shop.

The exhibition, titled ‘Up Close and Personal’, will showcase works by artist Helen Street, including one work exhibited at the Lester Prize. Helen’s detailed photorealistic portraits of her daughters showcase her beautifully unique style of painting, which will be on display until April.

Launching on the same day as the exhibition, the Subiaco Museum Shop features a bespoke design by artist Jane Coffey that celebrates the museum and its location on Rokeby Road which will be available for purchase in print format.

Tea towel prints of the museum’s Heritage Map will also be available for purchase, as well as a small collection of local history books and photographs from the museum’s collection, badges, magnets, and various other items.

“Subiaco Museum has gone from strength to strength over the past year,” Mayor David McMullen said. “Delivering engaging events and activities for our community, curating its physical and digital collections, and earning a 2022 Stage Heritage Award nomination.

“This new exhibition and museum shop are just some of the ways our museum will continue to celebrate and promote Subiaco’s history, and the talents of local artists who make the museum’s Community Artist Series possible.”

IF YOU’VE EVER wandered past Quinn Eyeworks and been drawn to the extraordinary artistry on show, read on.

Less of a high street optometrist’s store and more a curated gallery of the world’s leading eyewear designs, with a drool-worthy line of unique and limited edition pieces on display.

It’s a family affair too, headed up by Patrick Quinn (right) and his two sons, James (above left) and Nick, who man the Mt Hawthorn branch of the family business.

If Patrick’s a familiar figure, there’s a good reason for that. He was a well-known member of the Leederville business community, with eyewear store Blink 138 a firm favourite among local shoppers for many years.

Making the move to Subiaco and the light-filled eyewear gallery he now calls home was a significant move for Patrick and his sons, who between them have over 76 years experience in the eyewear profession.

“Many of our products are handmade by very small producers, many of whom are personal friends,” says Patrick.

You’ll find eyeglasses from Japan, the US, Germany and even items designed by Patrick himself.

Now in his 42nd year in optics, Patrick’s reputation as a purveyor of excellence has spread far and wide.

“We always try to procure limited handmade pieces that are extremely limited not just in Subi, but worldwide.”

Does pineapple belong on pizza?

If you’re silly enough to ask, you should pose the question to the wise man of Subiaco - Mark Young. He always orders the Tropical because he knows he won’t have to share it with anyone.

He’s now in seventh heaven as one of his favourite pizza places, Il Locale, a Scarborough institution, is about to open its doors at 420 Hay Street, just in time for the launch of Subi Spritz.

Head there for the heavenly combo of pancetta and pineapple with lashings of shaved ham with tomato sauce and Parmigiano. Or go for the XXXtra Hot – hot salami, chili, olives and basil. Lovers of the classics will love their Capricciosa.

The debate about pineapple will go on and on. But one thing’s for sure. Il Locale definitely belongs in Subiaco.
