Spraying locals with chemicals US corporation goes nuts with fungicides on Dunoon macadamia plantation Ray Moynihan

Their 2010 report on agricultural chemicals used in the region lists close to 30 pesticides registered for spraying on Macadamia farms, including seven chemicals prohibited in Europe, and ten which may cause harm to humans.

Helicopter spraying of potentially harmful chemicals on corporate macadamia nut farms in the area has sparked calls for greater transparency in spraying practices. The United States based Hancock Agricultural Investment Group – Neighbours must give which owns several macadamia farms written permission near Dunoon – used choppers for The Australian Macadamia Society aerial spraying on at least two occasions late last year, causing serious chief executive officer Jolyon Burnett concerns within parts of the local strongly defends the industry’s use of pesticides, arguing growers are using community. non-chemical methods of controlling Possible carcinogen pests, and have reduced their spraying During one incident in late Novem- from around ten times a year to three ber, a chopper sprayed close to neigh- or four times annually. In addition, regular national surbouring properties during windy conditions, with one neighbour ex- veys show macadamia nuts are free periencing a tingling sensation on her of pesticide residues. On the specifics of the Dunoon face and tongue, and others unhappy aerial spraying, Mr Burnett says he’s about possible spraydrift. The residents’ concerns led to satisfied Hancock’s did all it was rea local meeting in Dunoon, which quired to do by law, though he acdemanded that the corporate farm knowledged there is a ‘mismatch beshould in future give neighbours no- tween community expectations and tice of all sprayings, including an ex- legal requirements’. Regional manager of the state enact list of dates and the names of the vironment department Brett Nudd chemicals to be used. During the November incident the told The Echo there was no evidence chopper sprayed difenoconazole, a the company had sprayed within 150 substance that is described as a ‘pos- metres of neighbouring houses, a sible carcinogen’ and suspected of practice prohibited by law unless the damaging the hormone system, ac- farm’s neighbours have given written cording to a recent report co-written permission. ‘We would welcome any by the Lismore-based Environmental information from anyone that would Defender’s Office, and a green group, warrant further investigation.’ he said. However, the Environmental Dethe National Toxics Network.

fender’s Office believes – based on what it heard from residents – that aerial spraying may have occurred around Dunoon within 150 metres of neighbouring houses without permission, which could mean a possible breach of the law, according to senior solicitor Sue Higginson. The current conflict over macadamias is taking place against a backdrop of growing global concern about chemical use in agriculture, the rise of organic farming, and the push to reduce or eliminate pesticides – which is now official policy in parts of Europe.

‘This intensely chemical process is highly undesirable’ says Jo Immig, coordinator of the National Toxics Network. Ms Immig recently conducted a small survey of six rainwater tanks in the region, finding that all six tanks had traces of the now-banned endosulfan. While the levels were below those considered in government guidelines to be dangerous, Ms Immig said ‘in my view there is no safe level of endosulfan.’ Managing over $1.5 billion worth of

farming land, the United States based Hancock group has expanded in to macadamia nuts and other crops in this country because there are ‘few regulatory constraints on production’. Silas Long, an organic banana farmer who organised the Dunoon meeting, says he welcomes that Hancock’s management is open to discussion and dialogue, and is waiting for an official reply from the comapany. Hancock’s managing director in Australia, Andrew Strahley, did not return phone calls from The Echo. See comment page 12

Lyn Parche believes you have to fight to have your area recognised from a tourist perspective. In her capacity as general manager for the Byron at Byron resort, this is something she has always done a lot of – and it has finally paid off. She was recently appointed to the Tourism NSW Board, bringing a wealth of industry knowledge and passion to the role. Lyn told The Echo that, while thrilled personally, she believes

her appointment is mainly good for the area. ‘To have included someone from regional NSW, and from this area – it’s the first time!’ she said. ‘I think it’s wonderful that Tourism NSW have spread their wings. ‘What I’m trying to do on an international and domestic level is to get more people to stay in regional areas. Otherwise they just fly in to the capital cities, or go to Uluru or the Barrier Reef.’ Lyn has always had a good relationship with Tourism NSW and regularly commutes to Sydney. ‘You cannot fill the resort by sitting in Byron Bay,’ she said. ‘Our biggest market comes out of Sydney.’ The Board of Tourism NSW is composed of leaders within the industry who provide strong guidance and advice to the agency in a bid to raise tourism in the state to ambitious new levels. ‘It’s a big honour to be asked,’ said Lyn.

Inquest hears more on fatal Mullum brawl Story & photo Eve Jeffery

It was business as usual for this year’s intake of year seven students at Mullumbimby High School on Monday January 31. The only clue that something was not quite as usual was the presence of a burly security guard inside the school gates. The guard was there to hold at bay the explosion of media interest in the school, particularly on that very afternoon when the Deputy Coroner Hugh Dillon, Coroner’s Counsel Michael Wigney and the family of Jai Morcom arrived Mullumbimby High School principal Ian Graham and an at the school to view the area education department representative leave the courthouse. where on August 28, 2009, Jai was caught up in a fatal brawl. last Tuesday were Donna ing and his lips turning blue Pearson, Camilla Warner and when he stopped. ‘Not a violent school’ Principal Ian Graham as well School Admin Manager AlThe second day of the hearing as admin manager Alexandra exandra McAuley was in the saw several of the teachers and McAuley and a nurse, Jennifer office talking with Jennifer staff from the school in the wit- Watson, who happened to be at Watson when they were told ness box.

In total 16 students up until Friday afternoon gave their account of what happened on August 28, 2009. One student recounted being held up against a wall by a larger boy, an image shared by others. Some remembered a boy with a backpack, others not. After morning tea on the fourth day, Deputy Coroner Hugh Dillon asked Steve Drummond to move forward to the legal representatives table. He was questioned directly by Mr Dillon. ‘Did you make the comment during the break that “[unnamable student] murdered my son�?’ Mr Drummond looked nonplussed and his sister Sue Drummond exploded from the public gallery, ‘That’s rubbish.’ she yelled loud enough for the entire room to hear. ‘I was with him the whole time. It’s impossible.’ ‘That’s not true, Your Honour,’ Mr Drummod replied. ‘I categorically deny it!’ Later a young man who had been in year nine in 2009 gave evidence that Jai was punched several times in the back of the head. This sent a wave of reaction through the room from the legal table, through the media area, and up into the gallery. The hearing continued on Monday with the testimony of three students carried over from last week’s witness list and evidence and opinion from the medical experts, including a report which is a late inclusion from Mr Drummond. This week will see more student accounts, including students at the centre of investigations, before oral summaries are given on Thursday. Then those close to Jai will have the chance to address the court. The Coroner intends to announce his finding this Friday February 11. See comment page 11

Grail Quest

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year parttime foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.

Kamal nominated for US Grammy Hans Lovejoy

Out in the hills behind Byron, a musician, sound engineer and producer has achieved what most in that field dream of – a US Grammy nomination. Kamal Engels’ production of The Gyuto Monks of Tibet – Pure Sounds, is up for Best Traditional World Music ­Album. ‘I produced the album in early 2010 after inviting the Gyuto Monks in for a recording session for my latest album Zen Mama,’ he said. ‘Pure Sounds contains a rarely performed and never before recorded chants.’ He says the album was taken up by New Earth Records from the US for release, with the label subsequently submitting it to the Grammys. With this nomination, it may be the first time many have heard his name, however Kamal has sold over half a million CDs worldwide (Australia, US, Europe, Asia, Japan).

He is best known for his work with meditation and world-music, and has worked with renowned artists such as Deva Premal, Harry Manx, Anugama and Yeshe. The album is nominated alongside previous Grammy winners Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté. ‘I feel this nomination is an acknowledgment of the simple purity of what was captured in those performances,’ he says. ‘The immediacy of those voices coming from a tradition that goes back thousands of

years and has been passed on almost unchanged since then. ‘There is no embellishment; only the message and purity of sound. It might also be a politically motivated nod towards the current situation in Tibet,’ says Kamal. So how was it recording monks? ‘As monks are not familiar with recording studios or technology,’ he told The Echo, ‘they came into the space with the wide eyed innocence of children.’ As a lecturer at the SAE col-

lege in Byron Bay, he says he often brings student to his studio to compare the setups. ‘The recording technique I use is a little unconventional from other studios,’ he says. ‘I don’t use big desks – it’s important to get the sound right and I aim to minimise everything to achieve the purest sound possible.’ The microphones he uses are called ‘ribbon’ microphones, which despite being more fragile, produce a clean, accurate recording. ‘I also use high quality pre-amps to boost the signal as ribbons are generally quieter.’ According to its website, The Grammys are the only peerpresented award to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position. The 53rd annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 13. Photo supplied

Even from the time when she was very small, Jesse Blackadder’s name has attracted attention. ‘I dreaded the school role calls’ she confessed at the launch of her award winning novel The Raven’s Heart at the Byron Community Centre last Saturday. ‘And then later when I was a teenager everyone used to ask “are you related to Rowan Atkinson?” No, but quite possibly she

was some distant relative of the dreaded Edmund Blackadder. ‘The great thing about having an unusual name,’ she mused, ‘is that you can pretty well guarantee that you’re related to anyone else with the same last name.’ It was her search for the Blackadder Family History that inspired The Raven’s Heart, an epic historical novel set in 16th century Scotland. ‘I traced the family name back to a river called Blackadder Water in Berwickshire in Scotland.

Blackadder book explores its history When I went there, I found a ruined castle on the banks. It was eerie and haunting.’ When Jesse discovered that one of her Blackadder ancestors was caught up in the infamous plot to murder the husband of Mary Queen of Scots, she was inspired with the idea of a novel based on real historic events. Writing historical fiction, particularly about a figure as notorious as Mary Queen of Scots, meant that Blackadder needed to be very accurate. ‘She’s one of the most documented and written about historical figures,’ she said. ‘That’s why I developed the character of Alison Blackadder as the main character, it gave me more creative licence.’ The Raven’s Heart is Blackadder’s second novel. After the Party, a contemporary fiction set in Byron Bay, was released in 2005. Jesse has already started

and my grandfather had his own vineyard, pigs and olive trees. Sanchez is my father’s name and Peinador my mother’s. That’s why Spanish names are such long names – it’s not because we are trying to be aristocratic! The last 30 years post-Franco have seen enormous changes for Spain – not least in the field of gastronomy!

Yes! Spanish people live for their food and their wine and getting together. Getting together is a basic primal instinct. And eating is an art form in Spain – everyone cooks fabulously. It’s a fantastic country. Do you miss it?

Yes, I miss it a lot. But you have to be in one place – I love Europe and the culture, hanging out with my friends. But here I love the space and how friendly people are. I try to go home for a few months every two years. You are here because of your wife Bree. How did that come about?

Well, before I was an artist and a photographer I was a musician playing folk music, for 15 years. [Alberto plays the traverse – side-blown – flute]. Bree plays the button accordion and she was touring with some

Spanish guys who were my friends. When they returned to Spain she visited them. So we all met up and had a big jam session. We jammed and we fell in love. We were together four to five weeks travelling around but in 2002 we came out to Australia, to Sydney. We came back because Bree had a job managing bands. I got a job putting music together for a dance show and we toured Australia, the outback, to Perth and New Zealand. Bree came on and off... it was a great lifestyle for a while, playing music on the road.

Yes, it’s at Broadbeach, in a new complex called The Oracle. We went to look at it and it was a big space. Bree wanted a little wine bar with good vintage wines and coffee and a deli.

I handcolour my photos after taking them in black and white. It’s trying to blur the line between reality and fantasy; it brings the comic world and art back into photography... I think digital photography is great for certain professions, but I also think that in terms of art, non-digital is better – it’s like slow food, it’s slower and takes time. Do you think it is more emotional, in the same way that vinyl records are compared with CDs?

Absolutely. I try to find a way to satisfy that type of craftsmanship, to go back to my roots in the darkroom. I really enjoy doing it and I think it makes a difference when you love what you do – people respond to that. What next?

Well, there are a lot of things in the pipeline but for now we are concentrating on the Gold Coast. In terms of the gallery we just want to keep working hard with good artists and keeping it fresh. In terms of my photography I’d like to do a solo exhibition this year or the next – so I have to work hard to get a serious body of work! Photo Jeff Dawson

Talking turkey art in New York Story & photo Victoria Cosford

A local artist has taken his turkeys to New York. Myocum resident Duncan James flew over to the US recently in order to attend the opening of an exhibition entitled ‘People, Places and Things’. Held at the Walter Wickiser Gallery in Chelsea, it features Duncan’s series of portraits of turkeys. A self-taught artist originally from Perth, Duncan told The Echo that turkeys ‘are such an interesting, unusual bird, with almost alien-like characteristics, and I wanted to capture them in a human-like pose.’ His working background in landscape design – he ran a successful business in Perth for 15 years – equipped him with the expertise to transform neglected gardens around his property, grow food and rear chickens, geese and the famous turkeys, as well as the inspiration to paint. Some of his earlier works had featured in the American magazine New Art International in 2009, resulting in

All for the dogs at Sydney exhibition for Jacqui Victoria Cosford

a New York gallery contacting him with an expression of interest. This in turn culminated in an invitation to be a part of the Chelsea exhibition. Not bad for someone who was selling his own works of Australian flora and fauna to tourists and gift-shops in downtown Perth at the age of 13. Duncan told The Echo that ‘being basically a self-taught artist and self-employed in landscape design gave me a

good grounding in how to become self-reliant, not only in the art world but in life. ‘You certainly can’t wait around for gallery owners to knock on your door, it won’t happen. ‘You have to – at least in the early days – treat it like a business, sell yourself and your works, put up with knockbacks and never lose your selfbelief and confidence. ‘As that old saying goes, you only reap what you sow.’

There is something particularly engaging about local artist Jacqui Doran’s dogs – so much so that the artworks were the inspiration behind a recent exhibition in Sydney’s Paddington. Owner of the Butler Goode Gallery Katy Richfield-Goode had first come across Jacqui’s art at an Art Melbourne exhibition and was drawn to the idea of holding a show all about dogs. The result was ‘Four-Legged Friends’, with Jacqui invited as feature artist. She told The Echo that 100 guests and 40 dogs attended. ‘It was mayhem,’ she said, ‘but it went really well! There was the red carpet and fake green grass like an installation. ‘There was a fashion parade for dogs. I got lots of commissions from it!’ First prize at the show was a dog portrait by Jacqui with ten per cent of all the sales going to the Sydney Cats and Dogs Home.

This Way of Life to screen at BB film festival This Way of Life is one of the many films to be featured at this year’s Byron Bay International Film Festival in March. Set in the ruggedly stunning landscapes of New Zealand, This Way of Life is a journey into the world of hunter and horse wrangler Peter OttleyKarena, wife Colleen, and their six children. Peter’s philosophy for living emanates from his own deepseated values that shun the modern world in favour of a simpler way of life. He is passionately committed to imparting these values

to his growing children. Masterful in the saddle and Hollywood handsome, Peter is the consummate horse-whisperer, hunter and builder, husband and father. His wife and children echo these skills and share his determination to fully align their lives with nature.

A dysfunctional relationship with his stepfather poses regular and significant challenges to Peter and his family, but their determination to live life as they think is ‘right’ sees them sticking through some life threatening moments. Filmed over four years, This Way of Life critics have hailed

it as a confronting and revealing documentary that affords us a truly intimate perspective into a family whose love, strength and dignified relationships with one another always seem capable of overcoming the many hardships they face. Producer Barbara Sumner Burstyn says, ‘We set out to make a universal story that touched people in a very personal way.’ The film has received overwhelming international recognition, and screens at the Byron Bay International Film Festival on Sunday March 6.

The calls started coming just after the tornado hit at 7.30am. With around 157 calls for assistance, SES and police rushed to the scene within minutes, and as first responders, they saw for themselves the devastated stretch along Lennox Head’s beachfront. Ballina SES’s Gerry Burnage was on the scene that day and told The Echo, ‘We came with three vehicles and 15 crew and when we saw the damage we immediately knew we needed backup.’

The tornado had cut a path from Stewart Street up to the caravan park, he said, leaving a trail of debris, including a dangerous amount of asbestos on the road. And backup they got – SES crews were called upon from the entire region, Mr Burnage says, with around 30 coming from as far away as Armidale. ‘WorkCover – from the federal government – came in all suited up and cleared the asbestos,’ he said. ‘We all operated out of the pub on the first night. It’s the little things that sometimes get

left out of these situations – for instance a young local girl made muffins for the crews and handed them out. ‘These sorts of things make the difference when doing this work.’ Mr Burnage also spoke highly of all the professional teams and backup crews that assisted. Emergency situations such as these can often be chaotic and without teamwork it hampers effective help. ‘The cooperation between services and agencies is absolutely outstanding,’ he said. ‘We all know each other well and

have regular meetings. ‘It helps in creating clearly defined roles which are essential in these situations. Police, ambulance, Country Energy and Council did a great job, as did the church groups such as the Seventh Day Adventist and the Salvation Army.’ He says the damage to Lennox is mostly repaired and back to normal. ‘A few houses needed to be knocked down so there’s a few empty blocks around,’ he said, ‘but the most important thing we are all thankful for was that there were no casualties.’

Evac central – Lennox Bowlo Victoria Cosford

Operations Manager for the Lennox Head Bowling Club David Clark told The Echo that the club served as the emergency evacuation centre the day the cyclone hit. He said that the first day was ‘pretty hectic, as anyone would have expected it to be.’ ‘Once it was established we were OK and that we had a dry environment, people turned up drenched. ‘They’d been wandering the streets in their pyjamas – we

had to hunt around for towels and blankets. ‘We had no power. We put a big pot of water on the stove – we did have gas – and started making coffee. ‘My chef turned up and immediately started getting on with buttering bread and making sandwiches of his own accord. ‘So we were handing around sandwiches. ‘We had all these kids and we found crayons and paper for them. But there wasn’t much else we could do.

‘The generator was hooked up round about two in the afternoon so we had power. ‘People just got in and did what they had to do.’ He said that the club was the only place where people could come for some semblance of normality, especially once the power was back on. ‘Government services and the Salvation Army came in and set up small tables to sort things like social security and insurance out, a facility they kept running for two weeks.’ David said there had defi-

nitely not been a full recovery, seven months on. ‘You just have to drive through town and you still see houses with roofs off and scaffolding everywhere. For whatever reason – maybe they weren’t covered by insurance.’ Asked if he thought the disaster had brought the community closer he was much more positive. ‘Of course it has. People seem to be doing things for other people now!’ Photos courtesy of Christian Watts – hyperphoto.com.au

Chairman Glenn Costello is from Tursa Employment and Training. How long has he been in this position as President?

Glenn has been in the Chair for four years now. He has indicated to the board that he won’t be running for the Chair again at the AGM in April 2011 as he thinks it’s crucial to an organisation like the Chamber to have fresh representation from time to time. He has been a tireless advocate for the Chamber and its members for many years and we are very grateful for his contribution. How much synergy is there between other chambers? Have there been meetings/ breakfasts with Byron United or Lismore, for example?

The Chamber does enjoy a positive working relationship but while there have been some collaborative ventures it can get very difficult to hold joint events – members don’t seem to like to travel too far, especially for a 7am breakfast! That said, we do crosspromote each other’s events which gives our members more networking and professional development opportunities to choose from.

Is there a close working relationship with Ballina Council, and if so, what is it?

Ballina Chamber has a very positive partnership with Ballina Shire Council. In fact we jointly funded Ballina’s first Economic Development Unit with Council and Industry and Investment NSW for a number of years. We work very closely on a number of programs and they often support our events and initiatives such as the Business Awards and International Women’s Day Luncheon. That said, our role is to represent business and industry which means we do have to have robust discussions with Council from time to time regarding policies that detrimentally impact on our members.

Young people organise benefit for flood victims ‘Flood the block’ is an all ages, drug and alcohol free fundraiser for the flood appeal victims. Organiser Tanina Millis said, ‘There will be food and drinks, raffles, give aways as well as rap battle competitions.’ She says young people have organised the event by themselves.

Artists on the bill include Triple Nip and Kryzma, Talents and Young P, as well as Oratrix, Sarah Bennett, Velvet Sand, Misled and Laura Clare. The event will be held at the Byron Youth Activities Centre, Saturday February 12. Doors open at 5pm and the event will wrap up around 11pm.

Comment/Local News

An inside look at Jai’s inquest Eve Jeffery

Steve Drummond has been very vocal in the last 17 months in his quest to find out why his son’s life ended in the dying days of winter 2009. Steve has left no stone unturned in his search for the truth, and there are those who think that he may have been too extreme with his ideas of conspiracy and cover-ups. Though his methods may have appeared to some to be over the top and intrusive, anyone would surely agree that, as a grieving parent, he has the right. Watching Steve in court is like watching a 13 year old on the field at the World Cup. He knows what he’s supposed to do but he can’t quite make it happen and keeping up with the ‘big boys’ is mind-spinning. The reality is, no matter how it may annoy those with multiple university degrees, the law says he has a right to be there and ask, within the parameters of legal procedure, any questions of witnesses he sees fit in order to get clarity in the case. It is common knowledge to anyone who will listen that Steve feels that the school and its principal Ian Graham bear a portion of blame in this matter.

www.echo.net.au

Steve, who was working as a window cleaner among other things, does not have a $3,000 a day salary. He has spent considerable amounts of his time and money in his search and simply could not afford the services of representation in court. The education department has its own legal representative, one suspects she is earning a dream wage. The education department also has two rooms within the courthouse that they use for meeting, debriefing and having lunch. The education department’s ‘team’ consists of about nine people including the North Coast School Education Director Greg Cloak, their media bloke, a legal mob of about three or four and what appears to be a small handful of minders/media blockers. Trying to photograph Ian Graham leaving the court was akin to getting a shot of Britney Spears leaving rehab. On Tuesday afternoon last week, Steve Drummond literally had his day in court, though he was to receive little satisfaction for his months of work and worry. Once Mr Graham has confirmed his statements of 2009, it was open to questions. Now the Deputy Coroner

Hugh Dillon, I believe in his wisdom, has overlooked Steve’s ineptitude in a gracious gesture of understanding of the emotionality of the situation and simple respect for the man who lost his son. Not so those who sit at a table apart from Steve, who appear just ever so slightly annoyed at the man not in a suit. Though it has been stated clearly that this is not a trial, at every possible chance in Steve’s questioning of the principal, the Ed Department’s lawyer objected. Her objections were awfully ‘defensive’ for someone who is not defending. Needless to say, in the tense few minutes that Steve had his chance to ask what he wanted to know, he got nothing of what he wanted and it was clear that the two men did not see eye to eye on the death of Steve’s son. Mr Graham at one stage in response to Steve’s tied tongue said in unveiled frustration and annoyance, ‘I don’t understand your question’, before responding that he was confident that all procedure had been followed correctly. Mr Graham left the courthouse surrounded by education department staff and had no comment for the media.

Mullum Music Fest organiser Glenn Wright told The Echo, ‘We raised around $1300 at last year’s festival, and on Saturday we will be planting at least 100 natives and fruit tree seedlings.

Clearly science, government and industry plan to continue to find chemical answers to an organic problem. Let’s take chemicals out of food altogether. The Cuban crisis in the 1990s showed us that human ingenuity can prevail, independent of complex food supply structures. Without even fuel for tractors they found a way. Applying better alternatives to spraying chemicals would address the bad reflection this has on the behaviour of our species. Hans Lovejoy, Editor

fashion makeover, some fresh advisers and a bit of counselling in ethical emoting, surely the party machine, which specialises in such superficialities, would have fixed things long ago. It seems to me that the problem is both more profound and more simple: Julia Gillard is just not up to the job. It used to be called the Peter Principle – the process by which individuals, particularly

in never having the self-belief to try. And now there is Julia Gillard. In her time in the opposition shadow cabinet, and in her two and a half years as a senior minister and Kevin Rudd’s deputy, she seemed to have it all: a fierce work ethic, boundless self-confidence, fire in the belly and the respect of her colleagues, both friends and foes. It was inevitable she would

by Mungo MacCallum in corporate and public life, are frequently promoted to one level beyond their actual competence. And it is especially common in politics, because there are no established criteria or precedents by which one can predict just who will make a successful leader. Politics, is, as Robert Louis Stevenson remarked, the only profession for which no previous experience or training is deemed necessary, and this is because no one knows what will work and what won’t. History is littered with examples of politicians who rose through the ranks without a slip, had dazzling careers as senior ministers, but failed when they finally got their party’s leadership. Harold Holt, John Gorton, Bill Snedden, Bill Hayden, Andrew Peacock, Kim Beazley – all should have made it, but none did. Billy McMahon, Alexander Downer and Mark Latham were simply mistakes born of desperation, and perhaps Peter Costello was wiser than we suspected

eventually get the top job, and although the circumstances by which she did so were ugly, there was every reason to think she would hack it. But with hindsight, there was always something lacking – that elusive quality known as vision. It was probably unfair of Lindsay Tanner to describe her as a pure opportunist, but she has never given the impression that she had an overall grand plan, the ability to deal with the complex, long term, changes. Gillard says education is her passion, and she was a serious and dedicated minister in that portfolio – and perhaps that is where she should have stopped. Since becoming prime minister, she has constantly struggled to find her feet where major policy is concerned. Climate change, the mining tax and tax reform in general, the Murray Darling, and now, according to some reports, even hospital reform, have all been consigned to the too hard basket. For all Rudd’s ar-

rogance and narcissism, he was prepared to tackle the big issues; Gillard, it seems, is not. Admittedly, times have been tough and the problems of minority government novel and distracting, but that is all the more reason to produce a real sense of purpose and direction. Gillard has not done so, and it has affected not just her own standing with the public, but those of all around her. Even with the departure of Lindsay Tanner and John Faulkner, the front bench remains strong – certainly a lot stronger than its opposition counterparts. But in the absence of genuine leadership it appears to be dithering. With the exception of the indefatigable Treasurer, Wayne Swan, ministers have barely been visible during the break. And once this sort of malaise sets in, it tends to be self perpetuating, particularly in the media; everything that happens is seen as an attempt at salvage, as an act of desperation or the cynical application of spin. The situation is not yet irrevocable, but it is becoming very dire. The verdict on Gillard may well be premature; six months is not much time for her to establish herself, especially considering the unexpected events which have disrupted her anticipated rest and recuperation during the holiday period. She could yet emerge triumphant. And it should never be forgotten that she has one big thing going for her: Tony Abbott. His reaction to the floods was always cynical and meanspirited, but even then no one could have foreseen that he would ask his supporters to send money for a campaign against the cup-of-coffee levy to rebuild Queensland’s roads. With enemies like that, who needs friends?

Be prepared for the boarding house deluge vided by windows to any of the rooms as long as a common room has at least three hours of direct sunlight in mid winter between the hours of 9am to 12pm. There only has to be 20 square metres of outdoor area provided for all lodgers. Car parking spaces are set as only one parking space to be provided for every ten lodgers, and one parking space for every caretaker living on premises. There does not have to be a TV outlet in every room, no air flow for comfort in summer months and no natural light filtered in any of the lodgers’ rooms. Please think very seriously about this policy. It is under review until March 2011. Now is the only time you could have any chance of stopping this from being built in your own suburban street.

Any room 16 square metres or bigger is allowed to have two lodgers in each room. Under SEPP affordable housing this means the first of many of these boarding houses to be built in Brunswick Heads will be allowed to have up to 60 lodgers. Byron Shire Council has advised us that they are underfunded and understaffed to fight this legislation in the Land and Environment Court, and do not have the manpower to impose and enforce alternatives to any development application of this sort. In other words, residents will be up the creek without a paddle, and we will all have to tolerate the overflow of lodgers’ vehicles parking up and down our streets and if lodgers are uncomfortable in stifling, overcrowded conditions they will

Something has to be done to address the shocking traffic conditions on the way into town and the amount of cars in the CBD in peak season. A park and ride solution, bring back the trains, establish a light rail, make the town a no-car zone, build a by-pass or another road in and out of town etc. Also the state of the town is a disgrace in some parts.

be say that they can’t build a bypass on fragile wetlands, what about above the wetlands? What about the carbon emissions the traffic jams are causing? What about using the land where the existing train lines are to put in another road, if the lines are no longer going to be used? I am a ratepayer and get a bit sick and tired of the local residents having to keep paying for the wear and tear and upkeep of the town that is caused mostly from visitors and the rates keep going up! Not to mention the gross inconvenience of living in a town that is growing beyond the current infrastructure at an astonishing rate. Don’t even get me started on that new roundabout at the new sports ground. What the? These ideas, comments and grievances keep circulating among the locals (and have done for years), but nothing ever changes. It seems a shame that all the locals clearly know what needs to be done to make Byron Bay a better place, but the people in power don’t seem to be able to make it happen, no matter how many surveys and assessments they keep doing at the ratepayers’ expense! These surveys never

seem to amount to anything happening anyway, which is even more frustrating. I would like to see the council be accountable for every dollar of ratepayers’ money that they spend on these surveys, where nothing comes of it in the long run. The collapsed walkway up to the lighthouse is a perfect example of that. It would be so great if someone/anyone could facilitate some of these positive changes to come to fruition, perhaps even in our lifetime! Trish Cunningham

Strapped for cash Matt Hartley’s ‘open letter’ in last week’s edition questioned the standard of work being undertaken on several Shire sites. Work on the Belongil roundabout is still being undertaken by the contractors of the adjacent housing development. The roundabout has not been dedicated to Council and therefore does not currently belong to Council. We are expecting work to be finished on the Belongil roundabout in the near future; Council will then become responsible for any future work/repairs to the

infrastructure. Discussions with the Ewingsdale Road roundabout contractor are occurring with regard to concerns on the works not standing up during the recent wet weather. The issues regarding the roundabout will be resolved and the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex is currently on time and on budget. All capital infrastructure projects, whether public or private, are subject to the possibility of problems as they are constructed. In answer to your question, engineering and construction standards have not collapsed. Any problems which arise during construction of Council infrastructure are addressed immediately with the available funding and resources. The challenge Council faces is a declining revenue source as a result decades of rate pegging and cost shifting by the NSW state government. There are many areas in Byron Shire that need additional infrastructure and/or upgrades.

Breast cancer awareness On behalf of the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group I would like to thank the community and our politicians Don Page, Janelle Saffin and Jan Barham for supporting the campaign, headed by Robyn Sparks from Ballina Breast Cancer Support Group and supported by the BBBCSG, which has recently seen the return of the Breast Screen Van to Ballina and Byron for roughly two weeks of the year in each site. As we know, early detection is a vital part of the puzzle for reducing the impact breast cancer has in the community and breast screening programs have been shown to be effective in early detection of breast cancer. Generally speaking, there is a big difference in the treatment regime for a person whose cancer is found very early compared to someone whose cancer has gone undetected and has possibly grown

and spread to other parts of the body. Screening, early detection and treatment have been shown to improve the outcomes for the person diagnosed and their loved ones and have also been shown to be cost effective for the person, the family, the community and the health care system. We appreciate the response from the Area Health Service in supporting the return of the van to Byron and Ballina and have great appreciation for the work done by Breast Screen staff in delivering the service. Another important part of the puzzle for reducing the impact of breast cancer is educating people about the importance of lifestyle factors which have been shown to reduce the chance of getting breast cancer and supporting them with these changes. While not an absolute guarantee against getting breast cancer, there is significant reasarch which shows that eating a diet high in fresh

vegetables (especially greens) and fruit; exercising at the level of brisk walking for at least 30 minutes per day; getting sufficient and adequate quality of sleep and rest; and maintaining your appropriate body weight are some of the lifestyle factors which can reduce the possibility of developing breast cancer and recurrences. At our monthly support group meetings, the BBBCSG members practise meditation, which we find to be an excellent way of resting the body and mind. We also have guest speakers and a healthy refreshment. All those affected by breast cancer are welcome. Our next meeting is on Wednesday February 16, 12.30pm-2.30pm at the Senior Citizens Hall in Marvell Street, Byron Bay. Phone 6680 8893 for iformation.

Festival Creep It is fascinating to watch the fuss over ‘Festival Creep’ that the Blues Fest has stirred up. As a long-term resident of the Shire, I can remember the start of the Blues – two and a half to three days? – then the addition of a ‘locals’ day and so on. And now it is six days to incorporate his holiness, Bob. If it were the Pope, the most we would give him would be half a day but Bob is such a sacred cow he gets six days so the local entrepreneurs can make the most of his diminutive presence. It is this incremental attack on our environment that is so hard to defend against. The insidious chant of ‘just a little bit more, it’s good for the economy’.

And so we whittle a little bit more of the natural magic of Byron Bay. Bye the bye, it will be fun to see what rabbit the Blues Fest pulls out of its hat next year to justify retaining day six. It’s a remarkable paradox that we talk about the beauty of our environment, and how it must be preserved, but somehow it also seems to need to be spiced up. No matter how beautiful, apparently no-one will come and visit unless we add circuses, and the opportunity to get seriously drunk. Strangely, at the tourism advisory committee forum of a few years ago the Shire overwhelmingly voted for more upmarket tourism and less crowds. But the reality is we got the opposite. Just who actually runs the Shire? While Byron United is whingeing that the crowds are down, the rest of us are breathing a sigh of relief. If you raise your head out of the trough you may hear of a new concept starting to be voiced: ‘Prosperity with-

Travel impulses Ever noticed when people complain about other people smoking, the ones who seem to complain the loudest are reformed smokers? I wonder of the same can be said of reformed ‘hippies’ and ‘travellers’? Who are we? I live here because Byron Bay is different – a town of travellers interested in music, the arts, etc. You would think the people complaining about young travellers in vans never did anything like it when they were young. Or, perhaps they’ve just forgotten or reformed? People we did exactly the same thing when they were young... remember? I travelled in vans and freecamped all over Australia and Europe when I was younger. I even free camped at Tallow Beach for a few days in the 80s. I clearly remember the days of continued on page 16

having a small amount of travel money and an open return air ticket; wondering how long I could go before my cash ran out. I guess there were a lot of shopkeepers back then that didn’t like me. I’m still a lousy shopper – perhaps I should move on now as well. Besides, it is very expensive in Australia. The Aussie dollar has gone up 100 per cent in a couple of years. I travelled to America in September and everything was cheap. My lowest cost hotel was a pleasant room for $32 for two people with an ensuite and all the amenities. In Byron I couldn’t stay in a camp-

ground for that price. I could buy a good meal with a beer in a restaurant for $6.50. Meals here would be two or three times that price and the beer alone can be $6.50. International travellers coming to Australia are doing it tough. The backpacker market is not going to get big spenders. In fact, mid-range people who would have stayed in a B&B are now likely to stay in the hostels. And so what! Really, these young people are on the adventure of their lives. They are getting experiences and learning about life. They are not always perfect – they are kids. What do we expect of them? Is Byron

Bay an amusement park where they pay at the gate and can’t bring in outside food? What can we tell them when we travelled exactly the same at their age? Yes, it was OK for us, but now we need some cash and you’re messing up our good vibe? Treat people with respect and you’ll get respect back. Sure, some make a mess and many more don’t. Some shit in the park because someone locks the toilets. Some misbehave because they are encouraged to drink until 4am. Wicked Vans wants to be shocking so they write disrespectful garbage on their vans. This sets a mood of outlaw travel. So tell travellers Advertisement

If you’re a working parent expecting a child, there’s something else you can expect On 1 January 2011, Australia’s first national Paid Parental Leave scheme was introduced. It’s a new entitlement for working parents, funded by the Australian Government. Taking time away from work for a new baby is a common part of working life. Paid Parental Leave will help parents spend time with a new baby, and help employers retain skilled staff. What is Paid Parental Leave? Eligible working parents may get 18 weeks Government-funded pay at the National Minimum Wage, currently $570 a week before tax, to help them care for a new baby. Parents who adopt may also be eligible. Am I eligible? Full-time, part-time, casual, seasonal, contract and self-employed workers may be eligible. You must have worked at least 330 hours (just over one day a week) for 10 of the 13 months before your new baby arrives. You can have

Historians have identified community? I know we all love several key motives for the prohibition of hemp in the 1930s. One important factor was political and economic pressure from the pullulating petrochemical industry, which was competing with hemp in the pharmaceutical, fibre and textile sectors. Another major force was the bureaucratic momentum of the agency that had been established to enforce alcohol prohibition, which was repealed in 1933. Today, there are two groups in our society that still support the prohibition of hemp. The first and more numerous group consists of well-meaning citizens who have been misled to believe that prohibition is the best way to control a substance. The other group is organised crime, which understands that prohibition guarantees an unregulated and highly profitable commodity. Since the latter group profits at the expense of the former, it is in their interest to foster ignorance, apathy and stupidity within the citizenry.

Yes, usually the mother must apply for Paid Parental Leave. If you are eligible, you can transfer some or all of the pay to your partner (they need to be eligible too). The scheme gives families more options to balance work and family. When can I take it? You can claim up to three months in advance, and your pay can start at any time you choose from when your child is born or adopted. It will be paid in one continuous period from the start date and must all be taken within the first year after the birth or adoption. You are encouraged to apply early.

Local resident Helena Norberg-Hodge has a long history of analysis into the impact of the globalised economy on cultures and agriculture around the world. As the founder and director of the International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC), she has become an outspoken and passionate proponent of ‘localisation’. An author and filmmaker, Helena is now bringing this message to the world in a new documentary film The Economics of Happiness. Back in 1975, Helena was part of a film crew who travelled to the remote villages of Ladakh on the Tibetan plateau. This exposure sparked an interest and curiosity that led to her revisiting and living in Ladakh. These accumulated experiences have informed and inspired her localisation movement. She says, ‘When I first arrived in Leh, the capital of Ladakh with 5,000 inhabitants, cows were the most likely cause of congestion and the air was crystal clear. Within five minutes’ walk in any direction from the town centre were barley fields dotted with large farmhouses. ‘For the next twenty years I watched Leh turn into an urban sprawl. The streets became choked with traffic, and the air tasted of diesel fumes. “Housing colonies� of soulless, cement boxes spread into the dusty desert. ‘The once pristine streams became polluted, the water undrinkable. For the first time, there were homeless people.

The increased economic pressures led to unemployment and competition. Within a few years, friction between different communities appeared. All of these things had not existed for the previous 500 years.’ These perspectives are a

poignant reflection on what is going wrong with much of our world, including our own communities. Helena’s belief is that we need to bring the economy ‘home’ and build on our selfreliance, self-sufficiency, and sustainability. She feels that in-

herent in this is the potential for happier and more functional communities. NorbergHodge has created The Economics of Happiness as both a ‘wake-up call’ and a platform to expose this simple and ultimately logical possibility as a means of healing our ailing world. Currently touring to premiere the film in America, Helena and her filmmaker partners Steven Gorelick and John Page are thrilled with the sellout audiences. John Page says, ‘The film’s reception here has exceeded our wildest expectations. More than anything, it seems this is an idea, and title, that resonates with people; they want to hear more, to be involved.’ Helena will be returning home in time to participate in the upcoming Byron Bay International Film Festival. Screening the film to her own community is important to her, particularly as she feels that the north coast area already holds the idea of localisation in high esteem. Norberg-Hodge hopes that the film will assist in building on the existing potential of our area to deliver a more productive and sustainable future.

Understanding wetlands a key to ecosystem health Flooding, sea level rise and general land use practices all have the potential to impact significantly on the world’s wetland environments and therefore affect water and soil quality as well as marine environments on a large scale. Fish kills are a well documented example. An Australian Research Council Discovery Projects scheme grant awarded to a Southern Cross University Special Research Centre, Southern Cross GeoScience project, has funded research that aims to rethink how soil mineralogy and biogeochem-

istry affect wetland environments and consequently the broader environment. The project, entitled ‘A new paradigm for the accumulation and persistence of metastable iron sulfides in sulfidic soils’, is being led by Southern Cross GeoScience Associate Professor Ed Burton, who said there was still a lot to learn about the behaviour of organic material and minerals in wetland soils. ‘I have been studying the geochemical behaviour of iron and sulfur in acid-sulfate soil wetlands since joining Southern Cross University in 2005

and one of my initial discoveries was that the soils that underlay these wetlands often have extremely high concentrations of a group of iron sulfide minerals that have traditionally been considered quite rare,’ Dr Burton said. ‘My work showed that these iron sulfide minerals exert an amazingly strong influence over the composition of soil pore-water and shallow groundwater, particularly the abundance of arsenic and heavy metals. This led me to question why normally very rare, and highly reactive, iron sulfide minerals tend to accumulate and persist in acidsulfate soil wetlands.

nificant because iron sulfides are ubiquitous in wetland soils, yet systematic studies into their geochemical behaviour have been largely confined to laboratory-based “model� systems.’

‘I am also looking at mineral behaviour because I have observed that the natural accumulation of metastable iron sulfide can be harnessed to remediate wetland soils that are acidic or contaminated with heavy metals and conversely, since metastable iron sulfides are very reactive, that their natural accumulation may, in some cases, represent a “timebomb� that might release associated heavy metals when wetland conditions change. ‘By understanding how wetlands respond to environmental conditions and by having better tools to monitor such responses, soil and water managers will be able to forecast how potential management scenarios will ultimately affect water quality and ecosystem health.

Associate Professor Dr Ed Burton takes a soil sample in Tuckean Swamp, a 4,000 hectare wetland known to strongly influence water quality in the lower Richmond River in Northern NSW.

‘Up to now, there has been a yawning gulf between, firstly, the molecular-level chemistry of iron sulfide minerals and, secondly, field-based observations of geochemical phenomena affecting iron sulfide occurrence. My research approach aims to bridge this gulf by connecting observations at the wetland scale with observations of molecular-scale dynamics.

‘My earlier research has demonstrated that a dual approach is needed to truly understand and predict changes in wetland water quality, and optimise land management efforts. The project will be the first in the world to systematically unravel the driving forces behind the accumulation and persistence of highly reactive iron sulfides in wetland soils. ‘This is internationally-sig-

Dr Burton was awarded a prestigious five-year Australian Research Fellowship in association with the Australian Research Council grant in recognition that this research project is of international significance and will be facilitated within a world-class research environment. The research team includes Associate Professor Ed Burton as the Chief Investigator along with Professor Richard Bush, co-director of Southern Cross GeoScience. Professor Mats Astrom from Linnaeus University in Sweden and Professor Stefan Peiffer from the University of Bayreuth in Germany are both Partner Investigators. The scientific results will be published over the course of the five-year project in international geochemistry journals. The project aims to enable Australia and international communities to better protect their water resources for the benefit of the environment and dependent rural and regional economies. Southern Cross University received the highest classification of a ‘well above world standard’ rating in the field of geochemistry in the Excellence in Research for Australia 2010 National report released last week.

n e s i t D n a e l y a V why love is in the air

he history of Valentines Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognises at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first ‘valentine’ greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailer’s daughter — who visited him during his confinement. It is alleged that, before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed ‘From your Valentine’, an expression that is still in use today.

T

While some believe that Valentines Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial — which probably occurred around AD 270 — others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to ‘christianise’ celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St Valentine’s Day around AD 498. Later, during the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds’ mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of February should be a day for romance. According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentines Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.) About 85 per cent of all valentines are purchased by women. Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages and the oldest known Valentine card is on display at the British Museum. The first commercial Valentines Day greeting cards produced in the US were created in the 1840S by Esther A Howland. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colourful pictures known as ‘scrap’. – excerpted from history.com

IF YOU ARE A LOVER OF MUSIC, AND WANT TO SATIATE YOUR SENSES THEN CHECK OUT WHAT 25 YEARS OF PLAYING TOGETHER CAN BRING TO THE STAGE WHEN THE NECKS APPEAR AT THE BYRON BAY THEATRE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTRE. SEVEN CAUGHT UP WITH TONY BUCK FOR A QUICK CHAT. What do you think you get out of a Necks gig that you don’t get out of any other musical collaboration (personally)? I guess there is a process of concentration and depth of focus that is hard to equal in many other musical situations and collaborations. I think this is because of the nature of the music we play together and what we endeavour to do, which is to take our time and really explore the musical material we have come up with.  Also the fact we have been doing it together for over 20 years and have a very deep trust with each other and with the process is

E N T E R T A I N M E N T something that is hard to find in most other musical relationships. What do you think the audience takes away? CDs, hopefully...! It is hard for me to really know what the audience takes away. I guess it is different for everyone. I do think we maybe slow things down for people as there is a very focused, slowly moving thing going on that is so different from most things that happen in this fast-paced life these days. Were those first Necks’ gigs nervewracking? How has your performance check changed and matured over the years? We formed the band without ever planning to perform. When we finally did present the band and our ideas to people we received a very positive response. I don’t know what we expected but I do know that if we were going to play for people we we’re not going to change anything about what we were doing to try to please some perceived audience expectation. So in that sense the first gigs weren’t nervewracking per se. I think we were, as we remain to be, pretty much mainly concerned with serving the music the best we could. Do you ever have people sitting there going … do you know any Chisel? Most audiences tend to ‘get’ the music after a short while if they haven’t been exposed to it or hadn’t know what to expect. I guess some people that don’t like it leave with little fuss. Do you know any Chisel? We all listen to lots of different types of music and all have quite a relationship, to different degrees, with Australian rock music. I think it has always been an important part of our musical upbringing. What’s the most bizarre thing that’s happened to you, or during a Necks’ gig? I think being stopped mid-set by some hapless usher at the Sydney Opera House after some technical difficulties, and the response of the audience – surprised as much as we were – was pretty bizarre. (We started again, pretty much taking up where we left off, some minutes later.) Do you record all your gigs? Are there ever times when you play something completely spontaneously and you have to go back and replay it to remember and do it again? We do try to record most of our performances. We probably have over 400 hours of music stored. We never listen back to things to try and reproduce or re-create something. Every piece we play is created there and then, in that space and time, never to be repeated. How important are intuition and feel to you as a player? How do young players develop this? As a musician I think it is extremely important to develop a sense of initiative and knowing what and where to play. This of course takes experiences and intuition. Playing as much as possible with many different players and different musical situations, and listening and understanding how different ‘musics’ are played around the world, is the best way to develop as a player. Is it getting easier or harder to take risks musically? I have always thought that one of the most important things

HIGH RENT LOW LIFE Every couple of weeks I’ll get an email or text from a friend looking for single accommodation. I got one from a good friend a few months ago informing me that her landlord had requested she vacate her studio by Christmas. It’s not a good time to be without a crash pad – just ask Mary and Joseph. My friend’s landlord was wanting to put the rent up by $100 per week. As a person on a minimum income this would have meant that as a single person she would have been paying $300 per week. Apart from smuggling in backpackers and subletting her linen press as bunk beds it wasn’t ever going to be possible for her to maintain that sort of rent. Finding somewhere affordable to live in this region is like an extreme sport. For every rental advertised there are dozens of people lining up for a shot, armed with references, bank statements and affirmations that they hope give them an edge. It’s horrible to see people pitted against each other trying to prove their worth. We live in a tourist destination. Our housing prices are ridiculous, and thus so are our rents. My partner and I are about to start building in the next six months. As a family with five kids, we’re looking at having to build a six-bedroom house. When we were drawing up the plans we thought, well, why not build a granny flat to offset the mortgage. It seemed like a win-win idea. We’d be providing affordable housing for someone in the community with a burning desire to live in the shadow of a large noisy family from toddler to teenagers while at the same time reducing our hefty re-payments. While it’s now possible and encouraged to put a granny flat on your property, it turns out that the council contributions are prohibitive. It’s somewhere in the vicinity of $30,000 for what’s then seen as a ‘dual occupancy’.

So what’s the point? We’ll be financially disadvantaged more if we build a studio. Consequently most of the shire’s single people are forking out $200 a week for the privilege of living in an airless garage. It’s pretty humiliating being 50 years old and living in a bedsit. Single lodgings, namely onebedroom studios, are the highest-sought accommodation types. There are people who haven’t partnered; there are people between partners; people with partners but who need their own space; people who’ve separated and have halved their income and have their kids two days a week; there are people who’ve tired of the endless headache of share housing; and people whose budgets just don’t stretch much past $200 per week. Ironically there are plans afoot to turn the Brunswick Heads squash centre into, well, into another sort of squash centre: numerous one- and two-bedroom units. While I can see the need for affordable housing, shouldn’t it also be liveable? Wouldn’t it be a bit like a retirement village? If the council dropped its $30,000 contribution and encouraged new home builders and people dwelling on substantial blocks or properties to build attractive, safe, legal dwellings, then a huge part of our community would have their housing problem solved. In the meantime, I have a box in my backyard that I cover with a piece of tarp that’s available to rent at a bargain rate of $180 per week. No pets. No drinking. No smoking – you could set fire to the box. And I haven’t insured it because it’s not really legal. The only catch is I need you to vacate for six weeks every Christmas while I let it as holiday accommodation for $2000/wk to a bunch of dickheads from Sydney. References required.

about being a musician is to explore and extend your ideas and vocabulary. Pushing oneself, especially in public, always has its risks but I feel this is a musician’s responsibility. This approach hasn’t changed for me since the first few years of being a player: it doesn’t get harder or easier … it is the nature of the beast. If you could invite three more people on stage to guest with the Necks, alive or dead, who would they be? There are some people we have either talked to directly, or talk about, that we would be interested in the results of some kind of collaboration. Axel, Andy Moor (Ex), Pharaoh Sanders are three of these people! What’s your best drummer joke? The one about the drumsticks on the dashboard. What should we expect for your Byron gig? We have always enjoyed playing there. Good audience, great sound, intimate venue. We feel very much in our element so I guess you can expect us to give our best in the best circumstances. Byron Community Centre on Friday 18th February 8pm. Tickets are $25 / $28 on the door. Bookings through 02 6685 6807.

Everyone loves Tijuana Cartel. ‘Their mojo gets bigger by the day as they travel the length and the breadth of the country leaving a trail of larger and larger dance floors behind them. The secret to the success of Tijuana Cartel is how they turn an utterly unique blend of flamenco, percussion, trumpet, beats, breaks, positivity and pulsing global rhythms into a uniting and exciting musical force’ – Paul Sloan, SuperSonic Events. If Carlos Santana had been hanging out in Iraq for the last 10 years then he would have a sound something like the Gold Coast’s own Tijuana Cartel. Tijuana Cartel delivers a perfect marriage of lustful rhythms and upfront electronica. Friday at the Beachy. Free from 9.30pm.

RSDAY EL GREAT NORTHERN ON THU AMANDA PALMER AT THE HOT

Vaudeville The Vaudeville Smash began with three brothers, an intense love of good music and a desire to give the kids something they’d never seen or heard. Nuvo Yacht Rock. Melodies and harmonies, hooks and feet-tapping beats – it’s songwriting steeped in the traditions of the great Yacht Rock masters but with a fresh and thoroughly unique approach. Saturday from 9.30pm at the Beach Hotel.

Deelightful Dee This Saturday the Lounge Bar in the Mullum Services Club is proud to present Dee Lavell. (Honeybees and Don’t Mess with Mama). Surrender yourself to this diva of

blues, jazz and soul and let it rip well into the night. Supported by Brisbane-based singer/ songwriter Angela Toohey. 8pm. Free Entry

Burning Sugarcane Internationally renowned blues singer Sugarcane Collins is back in Australia and on his latest east coast tour. Recently returned from his fifth trip to the USA where he played blues festivals in Illinois, Montana and Washington states, Sugarcane Collins is a one-of-a-kind singer/songwriter/guitarist. Beginning in the rough-and-tumble waterfront bars and canefield pubs of Cairns and continuing on through six albums and countless performances around Australia, to juke joints in the Mississippi Delta, smoky bars in Buenos Aires and blues festivals in Turkey, Sugarcane performs his potent no-frills blues with an emotional intensity and raw abandon that only the very best solo bluesmen achieve. Playing dynamic hard-driving guitar he moves fluidly through an array of blues styles from down-home delta to ragtime to swing to Chicago shuffle. But it’s his big soulful voice, blending with a fierce clarity over the sound of acoustic guitars, that is his most powerful artistic statement. When Sugarcane sings the blues you see the fervour in his face, the light in his eyes and the veins in his neck.

THE GOOD SH IP

AT THE RAILS

ON THURSDAY

But it is not just as a singer and guitar picker that Collins has made a name for himself in the blues. Few songwriters can match his vivid storytelling. Not for him the simple blues love songs so regularly employed by others. Saturday at the Ballina RSL, 7. 30pm and Sunday at 4pm at the Lennox Pub.

A Load of Good Ship It seems the North Coast just holds too many alluring delights for those marauders of The Good Ship to resist. Recently they’ve been spied at The Beer Garden Of Eden show in Lismore and an Australia Day show at Billinudgel, and on Saturday they bring their pirate folk ramblings to Byron Bay. Well seasoned after festival appearances at Woodford and Illawarra, the merry crew will be settling in for a long night of tall tales and true. Catch them from 7pm at the Rails.

Commune with Angels

Hot Poppin’ Popcorn with Hedgehogs

Enjoy song, story and sound with Russell Hibbs and Mitsuo Hanafusa ‘Tzolkin’ and Andy Copeman with original and traditional tunes. Presenting ‘Angels in the Rafter’ at the Old Church 503 Coolamon Scenic Drive. An evening with classical Indian maestro musicians Vinod Prasanna and Dheeraj Shrestha. Saturday with an 8pm start. $20 at door.

First-time writer/director Mona Achach’s charming and thoughtful The Hedgehog is the story of an unexpected encounter within an upper-class Parisian apartment building. Paloma Josse is an exceptionally intelligent 11-year-old, who wants to end it all on her 12th birthday. Fascinated by art and philosophy, she documents her life and immediate circle, drawing trenchant and often hilarious observations on the world around her. But as her appointment with death approaches, Paloma finally meets some kindred spirits in her solitary concierge Renée Michel and an enigmatic and elegant neighbour, Mr Kakuro Ozu. Screening as part of NORPA’s Summer Popcorn series, 7pm on Sunday at The Star Court in Lismore.

Be my Sweetie! Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas celebrate V Day with ice-cream! And they’re giving it away! Every single ticket-holder for advance screenings of the greatest love story ever told – aka Gnomeo and Juliet – on Monday Feb 14th gets a delicious strawberry choc-top totally free. (They are the best choc-tops in the State.) Shakespeare’s tragic love story gets a new twist with this 3D version of Romeo and Juliet – starring garden gnomes! Whilst gnomes might not usually be thought of as romantic figures, Gnomeo and Juliet, voiced by British actors James McAvoy and Emily Blunt, are indeed two gnomes in lurve. But the pair have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi-namesakes, when they get caught up in a feud between neighbours. Throw a flock of pink plastic flamingos and lawnmower races into the mix, and the garden path to a happy-everafter ending looks decidedly doubtful.

Byron Film Festival Questions Existence What is the most important question there is? After exploring the Star Trek phenomenon, filmmaker Roger Nygard takes on The Nature of Existence, travelling the globe to the source of the world’s philosophies, religions, and belief systems,

www.echo.net.au

Raw Talent

interviewing spiritual leaders, scholars, scientists, artists and others who have influenced, inspired, or freaked out humanity. ‘I made a list of the eighty-five toughest questions I could think of,’ said Nygard, ‘starting with biggest one, “why do we exist?” and then I began interrogating the widest cross-section of humanity possible.’ Profiled in the film are people like Indian holy man, His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (The Art of Living), who described his job as ‘dehusking’ people: ‘stress is the husk, which covers the light, the joy within a person’. After a four-year worldwide odyssey beginning in 2005, the filmmakers had over 450 hours of footage to boil down to an hour and a half, to bring audiences the best and the most transcendental moments, to present a fascinating look at humanity, and our universe, as seen through the eyes of some of the most interesting people on our planet, and perhaps, some of the most interesting beings in our universe. If you only see one movie this year with all the answers, see The Nature of Existence at the Byron Bay Film Festival March 4th to 13th. For more information visit www.bbff.com.au.

True Grit I would hazard a guess and say that most camp followers of Joel and Ethan Coen, flexing their moral as well as aesthetic prejudices, would ordinarily not have a bar of cowboy movies. If they ignore this one, however, they will be cutting off their nose to spite their face, for it is fantastic. I’ve never grasped what it is that inspires such devotion in the Coens’ fans; their derisory view of humanity, admittedly the height of fashion, would leave me unmoved and feeling looked down upon. An inability or disinclination to attempt anything with warmth and compassion had established them (in my eyes) as stylists

rather than artists (as for their Oscar-winning No Country … I endorse Stephanie Zacharek’s ‘brooding doesn’t necessarily equal depth’). Incorrigible showoffs, they were great filmmakers who might never make a great film. Now they have. The Western is basically all about the pursuit of personal justice – rough or otherwise – and, in reworking Henry Hathaway’s 1969 ‘modern classic’ (I’ve not seen it, so cannot comment), the boys have thankfully kept faith with that venerable tradition. Teenaged Mattie (Hailee Steinfeld) has witnessed her father gunned down by the outlaw Tom Chaney. Determined that justice be done, she hires reprobate Marshal Rooster Cogburn

(Jeff Bridges in the role made famous by John Wayne) and, with her good horse Blackie, they enter the Indian lands of Oklahoma to find the killer. Joining them on Chaney’s trail is the Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) and it is the interplay between the two squabbling men, both wanting to impress young Mattie, that provides moments of welcome levity – Damon’s Dudley Doright effort stops short of the farcical as the Coens refrain from besmirching the genre with their signature mockery. But that is not to say that they don’t find opportunities to exercise their bent for the surreal, with a bear on horseback appearing out of the mist and rattlesnakes inside a rotting corpse, or picturesque, but not gratuitous, violence – the sudden shooting in a cabin is stunning in its intensity and quickness. Art direction and costumes are done to a T, performances are faultless (Steinfeld is incredibly assured) and, threaded through it like a silk ribbon through a gunny sack, are Carter Burwell’s arrangements of the hymn ‘Leaning on the everlasting arms’. The melody works as a mnemonic, casting you into the familiar world of the cinematic West, while its powerful melancholy primes you for the emotional peak reached in the climactic scene’s heartbreaking gallop through the night. Don’t miss it. ~ John Campbell

Sanctum If casting Richard Roxburgh as a macho adventurer strikes you as more than vaguely ridiculous – well, you’re dead right, it is. What Roxburgh brings to the role of Frank, an alpha male in a wetsuit, is a talent for being unappealing and a stentorian inclination to talk loudly – his emotional state can be gauged by the volume at which he delivers his lines. Frank, bankrolled by Carl (Ioan Gruffudd), an American billionaire, is exploring a humungous cave somewhere in PNG, his ultimate goal being to find the passage that leads from its entrance in the jungle to where it meets the sea bed. Frank’s support crew of tech experts and similar FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED

outdoor types is joined by son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) and the theme of rapprochement between insensitive father and alienated son is immediately established. Having got to know everybody, it’s not long before things go awry. There are two girls involved, Victoria (Alice Parkinson) and Liz (Nicole Downs), and the early demise of one of them came as a huge relief to me, for I was already having trouble telling them apart. It then becomes apparent that we are partaking of a whittle-’em-down flick as the characters take it in turn to cark it. Gosh, who’s gonna be left alive? I bet my proverbials on the outcome and they remain intact. Dialogue is lame – ‘life is not a dress rehearsal, you’ve got to seize the day’ perhaps being unique in its coupling of hoary clichés – the acting is of Boys’ Own cut-out conviction. The only thing going for it is the 3D, and of late it’s dawned on me that there is an in-built design fault with this current fad. At about the halfway point, with Frank gliding through a vast cavern of water, I remembered that it was 3D that I was watching. I’d grown oblivious to it, which is surely counterproductive. For a thrill-seeking audience to get maximum bang for their buck, 3D must constantly make its presence felt. When it’s no longer noticeable – like the unheard rumble of the city – all that is left are the bare bones of what is, in this case, an uninspiring, mundane movie. I hoped for there to be something else out there in the briny depths – like a swarm of mindless piranhas – but no, there is only the journey and its array of dead-ends, tight squeezes and seemingly impassable obstacles. It’s all a bit too much like a long day at Wet’n’Wild on bad acid. ~ John Campbell

calm to cute and charming, from mad-love exhaustion to testy exasperation, boredom and isolation. In short, they're married. When we meet Dean and Cindy, they've been together about six years, and have a 5-year-old daughter, Frankie (Faith Wladyka). The film is set over a six-year period (director Derek Cianfrance spent 12 years working on it). It doesn't offer a sequential playby-play of the ups and downs of a relationship, but smartly explores things elliptically, kicking off near the end and flashing back and forth between their rocky present and their rapturous past. The film explores their relationship from their first encounters: fumbling for a connection, pursuing, discovering. It shows us the couple now, she's a nurse, he's a house painter, both worn down somewhat and juxtaposes the present with the effervescent young lovers at the beginning of a relationship. This is a brutal, beautiful and affecting piece of work. ~ Lounge Cinema

situations, being a defensive player who always maintains more than one escape route. So don’t dismiss this year’s people as pushovers, and forget that confrontational Aries approach: this year favours persuasive communication and diplomatic negotiation. Honey instead of chili. F TAURUS: Your boss planet Venus is favoured in a Rabbit year, said to be excellent for arts grants. Also for improving domestic aesthetics, because self-indulgent Bunny likes to spend on home comforts. But for personal growth this year needs the balance of active compassion towards those less fortunate. G G EMINI: In the year of the buck-toothed hustler people tend to avoid dealing with difficult issues and prefer quantity to quality, hopping round lots of people without letting anyone too close. Sound like someone you know? Whatever, this year adores and rewards your organisation, communication and management skills. H CANCER: Introspective, security conscious Rabbit places this year’s focus on friends, family and home entertaining, nurturing, nesting, cuddling and snuggling – could it get any more Cancerian? A sharp bargainer with a keen eye for a canny deal, the Rabbit's astute and prudent in money matters too. I L EO: Also known as the Cat, convivial Bunny loves the material world’s toys, joys and goodies - its year’s traditionally one of taking it easy and shelving unpleasant realities. But all play and no work makes a lazy Leo, and others do look to you for leadership, Majesty... J V IRGO: The long eared carrot cruncher’s year is considered a leisurely, restorative year for self stressing Virgos. Your natural talents of style, refinement, diplomacy and discretion will be valued, but take a note to self: If others aren’t interested in addressing their problems, why should you?

The Oceania Zonal tournaments – the first steps on the road to the World Championship, which concluded last week in Rotorua – were, predictably dominated by the Australian representatives. Australian number one Zhao Zong Yuan booked his ticket to the World Cup in Siberia in August by winning the Open Zonal in dominant fashion. In nine rounds Zhao, 25, conceded only a single draw while winning his other eight games against the best players in the region. After seven consecutive wins it looked possible that Zhao could emulate Bobby Fischer in scoring 100% in a World Championship qualifier, but 13-year-old Bobby Cheng ended that dream by holding Zhao to a draw in the penultimate round. Zhao’s task was made somewhat easier by the remarkable form of Canberra teenager Andrew Brown, who defeated seeds 2, 3 and 4 – Olympians GM David Smerdon, IM George Xie and IM Gary Lane. Thanks to his final round victory over Smerdon, Brown ulti-

N CAPRICORN: The Metal element gives ol’ Floppy Ears an extra edge, and this year benefits from cautious, controlled, conservative handling of finances with success more likely if others are rigorously assessed, fine print thoroughly scrutinised and life’s glitches and bitches approached in an organised, orderly way. O AQUARIUS: Clever Rabbit can talk itself into or out of most situations, intuitively avoiding harm to itself, something I know you’ll relate to. This year sees you popular as always, with a core group of family and friends to help you back to balance if you tilt off-centre. P P ISCES: Beneath its endearing, cuddly exterior, wily Rabbit’s a resourceful survivor. Like you, the cunning cottontail's adept at getting its own way by negotiating and if necessary manipulating. Clever at bending the rules, this imaginative Rabbit year helps you find creative ways around red tape and regulations.

Television Guide 1. A former police inspector suffering from schizophrenia comes to the aid of a rookie cop hunting a murderer in the Hong Kong action thriller Mad Detective (SBS2, Friday, 9.30pm), winner of several awards for screenplay. 2. Fun for the kids in Madagascar (Prime, Saturday, 6.30pm), as animals from a city zoo find themselves returned to their ‘natural’ environment. 3. If you’ve missed the Man of Steel, he’s still able to jump over script anomalies in a single bound in Smallville (Eleven, Sunday, 8.30pm), even if he is inclined to angst too much for a superhero.

The Unified Field Theory of scientist Nassim Haramein & Beyond PRESENTED BY JAMIE JANOVER Lead emissary for Nassim Haramein and The Resonance Project. Have you ever wondered about how the universe really works? How we fit in? Have you experienced the micro-macro dynamics of existence, or sensed it? Do you feel, or instinctually know that everything truly is ‘all one’? Or felt that science has been looking in the wrong direction?

In this extraordinary presentation, Jamie Janover will answer all these questions and more by guiding you through Nassim Haramein’s lifelong exploration into the geometry of space-time, which has resulted in an exciting comprehensive Unification theory based on a new solution to Einstein’s Field Equations. Jamie Janover has been trained by Nassim personally to present his Unified Field Theory as one of his official ‘emissaries’, having presented the theory over 100 times in the past three years alone. Be prepared for a fascinating journey packed with fundamental information and stunning images.

The artists in the Byron Bay Arts and Industry Estate have come up with a collective solution to attracting clients to their galleries and studios. The Byron Artists Trail features 22 art galleries, showrooms and studios.

The Roxy Gallery ‘Dreaming of Things to Come’ is an exhibition of works by local Aboriginal artists and brothers, Michael and Joey Davis, at The Roxy Gallery, Kyogle. Both Michael and Joey create images that reflect their Aboriginal identity and heritage. Growing up in the Stoney Chute Aboriginal community (Cedar Point) they listened to stories, told by their elders, that they now reflect on through painting. This exhibition also includes works by other Aboriginal artists such as Lewis Walker. All these men have a strong connection to this area and are passionate about keeping their ancestral heritage alive through the works they create. ‘Dreaming of Things to Come’ is open until the 5th of March 2011. The Roxy Gallery is happy to provide an exhibition venue for local Aboriginal artists to display their works. The Roxy Gallery, 143 Summerland Way, Kyogle, phone 6632 3518.

Victoria Cosford

Rarely it is that my beloved and I disagree. We are amiable, amicable, peaceable beings who refer to avoid conflict – and so it mostly goes. There are, however, occasional exceptions, and the cooking of potatoes constitutes one. I admit straight up that he is a magnificent potato cook. His potatoes are always perfect, especially when he roasts them: they are consummately crunchy on the exterior and meltingly creamy within. With great generosity – or more likely in the hope that my potato cooking improves – he has given me two of his ‘secrets’. One is to heat the baking tray prior to adding the potatoes readied for roasting. Two is to add, when you are convinced your spuds are done, another half-hour to the cooking time. ‘How often do people burn potatoes?’ he asked me the other night as we argued yet again. I was in charge and I was doing baked wedges rolled in a little smoked paprika and salt. I have to say that they were wonderful, wonderful – but they were wonderful because (a) I preheated the baking tray; (b) I cooked them an additional half-hour after the knife I applied to the flesh slid in and out with ease; and (c) he was supervising. The odd thing is that I had always believed my roast potatoes were close to flawless. Hadn’t I been taught by bossy Italians the art of tossing chunks through a hearty slosh of olive oil, peeled garlic cloves and fresh rosemary sprigs before subjecting them to a moderately hot oven for an hour, showered liberally in salt? Hadn’t I become fat on several occasions due to my inability to resist them?

into the same category and I reserve those tribulations for another column.) There are many people guilty of serving lumpy mashed potatoes or embarrassingly bad potato salads. In 1881 a householder’s handbook was published in the US entitled The Household Cyclopedia of General Information. On the subject of cooking potatoes the author says, ‘The vegetable kingdom affords no food more wholesome, more easily prepared, or less expensive than the potato, yet, although this most useful vegetable is dressed almost every day, in almost every family – for one plate of potatoes that comes to table as it should, ten are spoiled’. The most novel way I ever heard of cooking potatoes was related to me over Christmas by my Sydney friend Barbara. She was describing the potatoes cooked in soil she had watched at the recent Sydney International Food Festival (SIFF). Chef Ben Shewry from Melbourne’s Attica restaurant was demonstrating one of his signature dishes which consists of baking potatoes in a roasting dish filled with soil – and Barbara, who had tasted one, was determined to try it herself at home. You actually, thank God, separate the potatoes (coated with grapeseed oil and seasoned with river salt) from the soil with a dampened tea towel and a piece of muslin, which also covers them before a final layer of soil, then alfoil. After that the potatoes cook for two hours at 180°C then for another three to five hours at 100°C. The result should be a texture ‘firm yet yielding and creamy’. I must ask Barbara how her attempt went. Escape the bustle of Byron and celebrate in style at il postino in Alstonville – Savour Australia’s 2010 Best New Restaurant for the Northern Region.

As I put my cup of coffee to my lips, I thought back over the many happy Valentines Days I had enjoyed – and the rather unfortunate one involving the intrusion of a rabid bulldog and a blind waiter. The joshing poet Mr Ogden Nash opined that ‘candy is dandy but liquor is quicker’ in the seduction stakes but, boys and girls, the quickest way to a woman’s heart is through her truffle. My most recent Valentines meal involving truffle, and I must admit, an orange liqueur, had me dismissing all thoughts of Heathcliff wandering on the moors in an open shirt from my mind and concentrating entirely on the paramour afore me. I blush to disclose it ended in the boudoir, which as you know is from the French for ‘pout’ – but there was little pouting done that evening. What is it about truffle? Well, certainly that the lover has gone to the expense of buying it helps. It is certainly not the shape, looking as it does like an old, soiled pillow on steroids. I think chiefly it is the aroma, the musky stirrings on the palate, the feeling that the force that through the green fuse drives the flower, to quote Dylan – Thomas, not Bob, who wouldn’t know a primeval force if he dropped his wallet on one – is emerging from the dark and mysterious underground to express itself in the human psyche and run riot through the quivering veins and loins … Excuse me, I need a glass of water. Truffle may be served in many ways, as long as its musky authenticity is not overly subdued. Miss Victoria Cosford in one of her engaging columns – how many engaging columns I have enjoyed over the years! – notes ‘honey

<echowebsection=Good <echowebsection=Good Taste> Taste>

flecked with white truffles to accompany a fresh pecorino cheese served on crostini’, ‘thickly grated on to eggy buttery tagliatelle’, ‘shaven over freshly cooked pasta’, and truffled honey with soft brie which a friend of hers declared ‘drug-like but unlikeable’ – a little like Heathcliff, one would think. Honey itself might be considered an aphrodisiac, springing as it does from the loins of bees. Other foods running in the Valentines Stakes include asparagus, given to bridegrooms in the 19th century; banana with its bromelain enzyme; caviar, high in zinc; chocolate, once banned from some monasteries; and figs, celebrated by ancient Greeks in frenzied copulating rituals and most suggestively split apart and eaten by Mr Oliver Reed in Mr Ken Russell’s 1969 film of Mr DH Lawrence’s novel Women In Love. Even radish was considered a divine aphrodisiac by Egyptian pharaohs, and it certainly looks pretty in a garden salad. Of course no food will invoke the Valentines spirit unless the person across the dining table at first evokes in you a yearning that overcomes commonsense. But to paraphrase Mr HL Mencken, no greeting card manufacturer has gone broke overestimating the lover’s propensity for self-intoxication.

First-time finalists Byron Bay made a run at Narrabeen in the dying stages of the final thanks to the aerial surfing of Beau Walker. Sitting in fourth place prior to Walker hitting the water, Byron jumped into second place and went within eight points of pipping Narrabeen at the post. ‘We’re pretty happy with how it finished. ‘

Byron at Surftag Former world number two surfer Danny Wills from Suffolk Park put the competitive rash vest back on last Friday to represent the Byron Bay Boardriders club who are competing in the finals of the Jim Beam Surftag in Sydney. Byron Bay made it through their qualifying round on Friday and surfed in the final 12 clubs on Saturday. Sydney surfing club North Narrabeen in the end claimed their fourth Jim Beam Surftag National title, defeating rival clubs Snapper Rocks, Avoca and Byron in clean one-metre waves at Avalon Beach. Cruising through the early rounds undefeated, North Narrabeen dominated the final from the opening siren and never looked in danger of losing the crown.

The Byron Bay team consisted of Walker, Wills, Ben Simpson, Luke Stickly, and Jarrad Sullivan. ‘Club surfing is a great part of the surfing culture in Australia. Not many other places in the world have boardriding clubs with the passion and support as we do here,’ said Walker.

Retiring Baby Boomers set to flex muscle and shake up property market Younger generations may be paving the way in the employment desirability stakes, but Gens X and Y shouldn’t get too comfortable because Baby Boomers are set to crush every generation in the housing market, according to new research by Your Investment Property magazine. As Australia’s four million Baby Boomers start to retire, they will send huge shock waves through the housing market and Gen X and Gen Y will be at their mercy. Be respectful of your elders, because they will determine where younger

generations will be able to buy their first investment or home. Editor of Your Investment Property magazine Nila Sweeney said the effect of this generational change cannot be overemphasised. ‘There are around two million dwellings in Australia owned by Boomers, mostly without any debt. This is equivalent to the entire housing stock of Sydney – one fifth of all our housing,’ said Sweeney. But Sweeney believes it’s not all bad news for buyers: ‘All Boomers will sell their homes – some at retirement and others later – so while there will be enormous price rises in some areas, there will also be falls in others, leading to a fundamental repositioning of housing values.’ And areas that are set to receive the influx of retiring Baby Boomers are coastal towns close to major cities but with airports and easy travel routes to family. Some of the most likely areas on the NSW North Coast such as Port Macquarie and Toukley have already commenced growth as the advance guard of Baby Boomer retirees arrives.

Painters cut carbon emissions Business Directory page 54

Open Houses, Auctions & New Listings page 63

Consumers are being urged to use new heatreflective coatings technology this summer to help cut carbon emissions. According to not-for-profit program GreenPainters, this technology should be considered as a way to to significantly increase building energy efficiency, by cutting cooling costs. ‘Nano-ceramic paint technology is one of the most significant advances in the coatings industry’, says Daniel Wurm, GreenPainters Manager. ‘It means that we can cut cooling costs of a building by up to 40 percent, simply by helping the building reflect solar radiation before it causes heat build-up inside. This results in lower air-conditioning energy use, saving money and cutting carbon emissions.’

GreenPainters, a national program for sustainability in the painting industry, has partnered with Astec Paints, a major Australian manufacturer of heat reflective coatings, to promote the new technology. The coatings, which are applied to the exterior surfaces of a building, work by reflecting the infra-red wavelengths of solar radiation. According to GreenPainters, this property allows them to efficiently reflect heat regardless of the colour used. ‘Of course, lighter colours will always result in higher reflectance values, but these products also offer significant results when darker colours are used.

Our article last week on a local snake bite incident drew requests for an outline of current procedure for dealing with snakebite. According to St Johns: 1. Check if the casualty is breathing and responsive. 2. Calm casualty. 3. Apply bandage to bite site. If on a limb tightly apply a pressure immobilisation bandage (crepe preferred) starting just above fingers and/or toes and as far up the limb as possible 4. Immobilise casualty – apply a splint to immobilise the bitten limb, check circulation in fingers or toes, ensure casualty does not move. 5. Call 000 for an ambulance.

Main Arm Upper Public School’s latest film was shortlisted for ‘the world’s largest short film festival for kids, by kids – Trop Jr’. Around 20 films were shortlisted from more than 300 entries and although they didn’t make the final cut to finalist, this is MAUPS’s third shortlisting out of three entries, a high achievement for such a small school. In 2008 a MAUPS film did make it to finalist stage, and three students were flown to Sydney for the outdoor screening in Domain Park. Each year lucky students from MAUPS get to devise and create with local filmmaker Sharon Shostak. Everyone’s looking forward to her current project, a feature documentary on The Echo (of all things) due to screen locally mid-year alongside our 25th year celebrations.

Be wary of phone scams.
