Leaked hospital plans raise questions

Report says Mullum best option – so why Ewingsdale? Hans Lovejoy

Documents leaked to The Echo have revealed the proposed new hospital in Ewingsdale will not be built at the preferred site, and will be no better equipped than the current hospitals in Byron and Mullumbimby combined. The leaked document entitled ‘Byron Shire Major Hospital Site,’ was prepared by Lennox-based consultants GeoLink in 2001. The ten-year-old report notes, ‘facilities at both locations are in urgent need of upgrading.’ Both the Shire’s current hospitals provide 54 beds, according to the Department of Health’s website. This is also the same number of beds as the proposed Ewingsdale facility. Currently the land, which was purchased by the Health Department in 2006, is being rezoned. Council told The Echo they are ‘anticipating it will

sewage use,’ says the report. ‘The areas available are in small sections around Ocean Shores to the north of the Shire, and at the Mullumbimby Hospital site where the property has extra sewage credits available (as of 2001).’ The document concludes by saying, ‘In consideration of all the combined core restraints, certain land in Ocean Shores and the Mullumbimby Hospital site are the only sites available in our opinion having regard to relevant environmental planning restraints‌ as specified by the Northern Rivers Area Health Service, indicating that the Mullumbimby Hospital is a suitable location for the new Byron Shire major hospital.’ Few areas suitable for The reports states that ‘Mullum has sewage credits for a 42 bed hospital’, hospital sewage though when the report was written ‘There are very few areas suitable in 2001, it operated with 20 beds. for development in regards to hospital When asked about the difference

be gazetted at the end of September this year.’ The client brief, according to the report, is to examine the environmental and planning constraints for a proposed hospital site in the northeastern section of the Shire, and a review of the current Mullumbimby hospital site as a potential site for a major hospital. It also defines the requirements hospitals need to operate. These include being flood free and allowing for future expansion. Water, electricity and sewerage also need to be easily connected, as does public transport need to be available or have the potential for public transport.

in beds, the Northern Rivers Health Service told The Echo, ‘Mullumbimby & District War Memorial Hospital was built in the early 1960s and records for this period are not readily available. Bed numbers at the hospital have been at or around 28 for the last eighteen to twenty years.’ The direct question regarding what the rooms are being used for was unanswered by the media spokesperson. They did, however, explain the amalgamation of the two hospitals. ‘By bringing the two hospitals together, there will not only be the same services available, but greater flexibility in how these services are provided to patients due to the larger critical mass of the facility. ‘For example, the emergency department will provide 24 hour on-site medical cover.’ The concern that emergency cases would still have to be transported to Tweed will remain but be less common, according to the spokesperson. ‘When the new Byron Shire Hospital is operating, fewer emergencies will be transported to the Tweed Hospital.’

State MP Don Page told The Echo, ‘There have been many things happen since 2001. The initial impetus for thinking in terms of a larger, better hospital at Ewingsdale started around the time it was discovered Mullumbimby Hospital had serious asbestos problems in its roof and had to be closed so the asbestos could be contained. ‘The Health Department believed that it would be better to have one bigger better hospital servicing Byron Shire than two smaller hospitals and commenced a community consultation process. A community committee from both the north and south of the Shire was formed and they agreed to support a larger, new, better hospital offering more services for Byron Shire residents. Current beds in Mullumbimby are 26 but only 16 are funded.

Affordable Housing Forum this Wednesday The Echo’s Affordable Housing Forum will take place this Wednesday at 6:30pm for 7pm, at the Byron Community Centre. It will be a child-friendly event featuring national affordability advocate Professor Julian Disney, the voices of those affected by the crisis, a key announcement on the issue by the Byron Community Centre’s Paul Spooner, a public discussion, and a cameo role by Mandy Nolan. For those who can’t attend, the event will be streamed live on the Byron Community Centre website.

Byron Bay Hospital has 28 but only 18 are funded. The new Central Hospital will have at least 54 beds. No hospital will close until a new Central Hospital is open. ‘Once a new Central Hospital is built there will be community health centres in Mullumbimby, Ocean Shores and Byron Bay. A new ambulance station will be built there as soon as the rezoning process is completed in a month or so. Funding for the ambulance station is in the current state budget and can be spent immediately. There will be transport difficulties for those without a car or access to a car but one of the criteria was to have a site which is readily available by ambulance for emergencies so a site near the highway was deemed to be desirable. As the Health Service has pointed out, patients going to hospital do not do so on a regular basis and are almost always travelling by car with a friend or family member. ‘The Coalition, if elected on March 26, has indicated we will complete the planning process including an updated service plan, costings, etc so the project is “shovel ready�,’ Mr Page said. In related news, a Tamworth hospital plan has been accepted as eligible for $220 million funding under the federal government’s Health and Hospital Fund. The announcement was made by the Independent Member for New England, Tony Windsor.

An eighty-year-old Suffolk Park woman says she ‘got a nasty shock’ on Friday morning from a letterbox drop aimed at property owners. ‘A leaflet appears to have been distributed all along the beach side of Suffolk,’ she told The Echo, ‘telling residents their property would be worthless, unsaleable and need to be demolished if Council’s coastal management plan, CZMP, is adopted. ‘I’ve lived here for 25 years,’ she said, ‘And in that time I have seen one line of dunes vanish and then seen it come back again. I was also involved in the first Dunecare Association and I don’t see it disappearing in my lifetime. ‘It’s a frightening and disturbing thing to send around,’ she says. ‘It’s trying to scare people into supporting them.’ The leaflet was produced by

the Byron Preservation Association (BPA), which includes some residents that are taking Byron Council to court over what they say is the lack of compensation and response to beach erosion on private property. BPA’s Geoff Tauber told The Echo he had got a good response for the letterbox drop and had not encountered any negativity. ‘It appears not many people in Suffolk Park are aware of the Planned Retreat Policy that is being put forward by Council,’ he said. ‘The Suffolk Park Progress Association, the president and board, are fully aligned with Council and Jan Barham’s plan, which will also apply to Suffolk Park. ‘Under the policy, property owners cannot protect themselves from erosion, and cannot claim for compensation. If this came in it would devalue all beach frontage property.’

Organisers of International Women’s Day activities at the Mullumbimby Neighbourhood Centre were very pleased to see over 100 visitors to the opening of the art exhibition, ‘A Tribute to Women’. ‘We had 30 entries which included 22 photos, three mixed media pieces and five paintings,’ said organiser and MC Neroli Jager.’ Shea O’Toole played guitar, Cara Maku Byron Shire Youth Citizen of the Year spoke about what IWD means to young women, and local storyteller Jenni Carghill-Strong, a local storyteller, spoke about her great grandmother. There were many touching stories of lives cut short, mentors in our community, stories of courage to overcome illnesses, stories of support and friendship. Deborah Gower, and her piece entitled ‘Would you like a cup of tea?’ created a lot of interest, and is a thank you to the women of Mullumbimby. ‘When I first came to Mullum seven years ago, I only knew one person,’ says the

Sunnybrand cagey in response to sale Ingham’s chicken out of media comment Eve Jeffery

The response to the sale of Sunnybrand has been as rare as hens’ teeth. Inghams has, however, confirmed the takeover of the Byron-based company. According to their website, Inghams Enterprises Pty Ltd ‘is Australia’s largest poultry producer of meat and layer chickens and turkey.’ A telephonist, who sounded like she had repeated the same message many times, was much less warm and fuzzy than some of the company’s television commercials would suggest.

She told The Echo, ‘All we will say is that we’ve made an offer to Sunnybrand and the stakeholders have accepted.’ It appeared a standard response to all media. Sunnybrand CEO Bob Hansen spent most of Monday in meetings, and though the response from the Ewingsdale Road factory was much more polite, it was no more informative than Inghams’ – it would appear that both businesses plan to keep the details of the takeover under wraps. Sunnybrand is perhaps one of the biggest employers in the Shire, with around 350 people on the payroll.

everyday lives looking after their family and friends and still finding time for a chat with newcomers. The exhibition will be open on Thursday 17 and 24 and Monday 21 from 10am to 4pm at the Neighbourhood Centre.

Libs/Nats will help small biz: Page Shadow Minister for Small Business Don Page has outlined the Nationals/Liberals policy for Small Business if elected on March 26. According to Mr Page, the Nationals/Liberal parties want to give small business people and their employees ‘a real voice’ in government across all portfolios. The parties will appoint a Small Business Commissioner who will advocate on behalf of small businesses in NSW across all government agencies; resolve disputes between small businesses and government agencies, including local government; identify unfair market practices by big business against small business; and determine and monitor the cost of regulation and make

sure new regulation is not impacting negatively on small and medium businesses. ‘We will also cut red tape by 20 per cent in our first term of government, streamline business licensing by making all business licence applications and renewals available on a single website, facilitate regular and genuine consultation between small business and government and make government agencies pay their bills within 30 days,’ Mr Page said. Mr Page also said small businesses would benefit from the Nationals/Liberals Jobs Action Plan, which creates 100,000 jobs across NSW, 40,000 of which are quarantined to regional areas including the north coast.

Is Don Page taking the Ballina electorate for granted?

Pork barrelling Independent seats Ms Kolbe claims Nats/Lib funding, that would otherwise have been delivered for the Ballina electorate, was being used to win rural seats currently held by independents and Western Sydney seats held by the ALP. The real question, according to Ms Kolbe, is what is Don Page going to do for the Ballina electorate if he wins the seat of Ballina. ‘The answer is precious little because the North Coast Nationals have been sidelined in the rush to pork barrel seats held by independents. ‘My reference to hospital funding for seats held by independents, should the coalition win the upcoming election,

They included increasing funding for dental care to match that of Queensland and the establishment of mobile dental units to reach rural and disadvantaged groups.

Overseas visitors have spent a total of $149 million – an increase of $16 million or 12 per cent – while in the Northern Rivers in 2010, according to the December 2010 International Visitor Survey released by Tourism Research Australia last week. ‘This is a good result for our region and shows that tourism keeps Northern Rivers businesses in business and employing people,’ said Northern Rivers Tourism CEO Russell Mills. ‘It also validates our conConstruction of Lennox Head skate park has commenced and tinued investment in internashould take about six weeks, according to the Ballina-based tional marketing with tourism company Oasis Skate Parks.

The research report, published by the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism, shows that there were 235,000 international visitors to the Northern Rivers in 2010. The increased financial contribution made by those visitors is due largely to an increase in their average length of stay from eight to nine nights. Northern Rivers Tourism recently announced a $220,000 tourism campaign to attract travellers from Malaysia and Singapore to the region in partnership with low cost airline Air Asia X, supported by Tourism New South Wales and Gold Coast Airport.

Minister for Community Services, Linda Burney, last week announced new funding for community organisations that work with vulnerable families and other disadvantaged groups in Ballina and Tweed. ‘Ballina District Community Services Assoc Inc will receive $45,500 in new annual funding for additional early intervention and prevention programs for children, young people and families,’ said Ms Burney. ‘This new money is in addition existing funding of $184,585 for the Ballina/Byron Family Centre Inc and $160,814 for Ballina District Community Services Assoc Inc.’

At the time of the announcement Duty MLC for Ballina and Tweed, Shaoquett Moselmane, said that community and neighbourhood centres in the Ballina and Tweed areas will receive over $1.2 million in existing and new funding over the next year to further their work with struggling families and other vulnerable groups. ‘The funded organisations will work closely with other services to make appropriate referrals for families to specialist services for help with health, drug and alcohol, family violence or other issues,’ he said.

Independent candidate for Ballina, Karin Kolbe, has announced how she would work towards comprehensive new deal for young people. ‘Young people are our future,’ Ms Kolbe said, ‘yet they continue to be disadvantaged by a lack of access to a range of services. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high. ‘Too many young people continue to be killed on our roads due to inadequate public transport. Access to employment, education and training opportunities remain limited and are often out of reach due to the high cost and travel times of limited public transport.

‘Too few mental health services mean that young people and their families often have to reach crisis point before any support is provided. ‘Young people deserve a fair go and if elected, I will work towards increasing the number and range of TAFE training places, overcoming the lack of transport services through the establishment of commuter rail and more bus services, reducing public transport fares for young people, helping businesses provide more traineeships and apprenticeships, and getting recurring funding to our early intervention mental health and family support services.’

New Ballina Players production: The Cemetery Club In their latest production, the Ballina Players theatre group explore different ways of dealing with grief and loss through humour and sympathy. After playing in New York, Ivan Menchell’s The Cemetery Club was released as a movie in 1993. It starred Ellen Burstyn, Olympia Dukakis and Diane Ladd. The synopsis is about three

widows who met monthly to visit their husbands’ graves. By far the most committed to this ritual is Doris (Diana Mason). She trims the ivy on the headstone and chats with her late husband Abe, catching him up on the gossip and showing him photos of their grandchild. Though he has been gone for four years, this routine is how

Doris sees her future. Doris looks on disapprovingly, while Ida starts to think of romance and Lucille frenetically chases men. These three Jewish New Yorkers are strong and interesting women, and their interactions are lively, sometimes fiery and frequently funny. The play is directed by Allen Ennew, and will be staged at

the Players Theatre, Swift St, from March 25 to April 9. A limited number of tickets are available for opening night on Friday March 25. It will be a black tie event, with catering, champagne and a chance to meet the cast after the show. Tickets are available at Just Funkin Music or by phoning 6686 2440.

Bangalow celebrates a belated Christmas Christmas Eve, for those living in Bangalow, has been bumped to March 19. ‘This year we had to cancel our annual Christmas Eve street party due to the horrible weather,’ said spokesperson Kris Wiseman. ‘But, you know the people in Bangalow love to get together, and with the help of the Bangalow Chamber and

the friends of the A&I Hall, it was decided to hold a replacement event on March 19. We are also celebrating the Centenary of the A&I Hall. This is a free family friendly event with performances from world-class buskers such as the Space Cowboy, Joel Salem and Tina Trash, plus local youth band Lifeline will perform at the A&I Hall.

‘Of course the Samba Blisstas drummers will also be there to get everyone dancing. ‘There will be activities, rides, performances and face painting for the little ones at the RSL hall. There will be plenty of food stalls to keeps everyone’s bellies full. Performers begin from 5pm this Saturday on Station Street, Bangalow.

2012: Time for Change will be screened at the Byron Community Centre on Thursday March 17 at 7pm. The movie presents an optimistic alternative to apocalyptic doom and gloom, says its supporters. Directed by Emmy Award nominee Joao Amorim, the film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, ‘on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific method’, interviewing luminaries such as Sting and David Lynch. All ages from 15+ are invited to attend and have their voices heard.

The artistry of Ruth Rich

Victoria Cosford

So was that when you launched Art Retreats residentials, with facilitators International?

Possum Creek-based Ruth Rich has been running art retreats for the last 11 years under the banner of Art Retreats International, taking small groups to locations like Morocco, New York and Paris, where they ‘train’ under prominent artists.

brought over from America. It was a program no-one had ever heard of – but I just knew I could do it, I had such a passion for it. Through that I learned how to promote. I eventually sold the business, but it’s still going. Then I went into counselling, relationship work mostly.

Is art your background?

I did an art degree in the 60s at RMIT (Melbourne) then did sculpture and illustration at Prahran Tech. Then I did lots of counselling training including Hoffmann training. I came up to Byron Bay in 1987, working mainly as a massage therapist – but I also brought up the Hoffmann Process. I brought it out from America and it consisted of seven-day

So the residentials and the promoting could be seen as your grounding, in a way, for the art retreats?

Well, in 2000 I realised I wanted to get back into art. I saw a sign saying Art Workshops – I always ride a good feeling and had a feeling about this. I was one of three chosen out of a hat. (Artist) Michael John Taylor gave me the job promoting his workshops – he’s

They’re usually between 45 and 60 and it’s mostly women, occasionally men. Husbands can come too! It’s a good mix of people, between ten to twelve. For half of them the money’s no problem – some of them are so keen to go with a particular artist to that particular location that they’ll spend all their savings.

Yes, and all the retreats sold out. I was on a wonderful momentum, offering the very best of the best, the best facilitators, venues, countries. They are all thoroughly researched and I do all the re- Are they amateurs or search. It’s like a good painting professionals themselves? It’s a mixture.

Then I went to Uluru and put together a retreat with (artist) Elizabeth Cummings. It was such a wonderful experience that I decided it was all I wanted to do. That was 18 months ago.

Well the fencing has gone back up & once again our access has been restricted. Woolworths’ representatives assure us that the road works will be finished by May. But hey, they told us initially we would only have three months of interruption to our business, so why should we start believing what they say now? We’d like to take the opportunity to thank our loyal customers for being so patient & tolerant while this development drags on & on.

At 12, going on 13 years of age, Azlan Currie understands the complexities of planning for the future. Azlan, who lives in Brunswick Heads, is preparing to give a talk at the Taking Care of Brunswick Expo on Saturday March 19, being held at Brunswick Public School between 10am and 3pm. According to organisers, The Expo is an opportunity for everyone who cares about Brunswick Heads to connect with each other, get inspired and take a look ‘over the horizon’ in preparation for developing Brunswick’s next fiveyear community plan over coming months. Azlan offers some advice: ‘If you change things about the place too much, you might have to sacrifice other things that are already good about it. In an attempt to make it better, you might make it worse. Think about

all the consequences of whatever decisions you make. You need to take into account the points of view of every different group of people: students, business owners, tourists and other people who live here, so that it will work out better for everyone. ‘The Expo has an outstanding line-up of people giving talks and workshops, plus community displays and educational exhibits which will offer inspiration, ideas and practical information on all sorts of topics ranging from innovative sustainability solutions, social enterprise, public arts and creativity, different ways of growing and sharing food, to the value of biodiversity, local history, community connectedness and business success,’ say organisers. Find out more about the Expo and the CETP Project on www.brunswickheads.org.au/ community-plan-2011-16/p/334.

Council restores Paterson Hill Ecological restoration work is underway at the endangered Byron Bay Dwarf Graminoid Clay Heath at Paterson Hill, below Pacific Vista Drive and behind Clarkes Beach. Council’s executive manager of planning and environment Ray Darney said the work is being undertaken as part of the Bush Futures regeneration program. ‘As a result, the licensed bush regeneration team have poisoned a number of trees on Councilmanaged Crown land at Paterson Hill,’ Mr Darney said. Mr Darney said all work being undertaken is guided by a management plan which was prepared by a consultant with

recognised expertise in specific regard to this ecological community. ‘The bush regeneration contractors undertaking the on-ground work are highly experienced and hold a licence under the Threatened Species Conservation Act to carry out bush regeneration activities.’ The aim of the plan is to restore the structure, function, dynamics and integrity of the clay heath vegetation and the habitats they support. Visitor impacts at the site include the creation of informal walking tracks which trample the clay heath plants, cause erosion and can introduce weeds.

This is the second ‘classified/coupon’ advertisement we have placed in The Echo, the other was in December 2010, and last time we were surprised with the number of customers who discovered the range of products we sell. Many of the people who came in to our store for the first time were amazed at the size of the shop; they just didn’t know that it wraps around behind Woolworths and that our shelves extend to the ceiling. (Yes you need a ladder to get to some of the stock.) So we regularly heard the expression ‘I didn’t know you had...’. FOR SALE – This business is now for sale... the advertisement in the bottom right hand corner of the page elicited quite a few questions, the most common being ‘Is the shop really for sale?’ The answer is yes.

fences. Indeed, he has probably alienated the party room still further by maintaining a high public profile; for Rudd to be so clearly relishing his role as foreign minister and making such a success of it is seen almost as a mark of disloyalty at time when his successor continues to flounder in the role of Prime Minister. And Abbott is even safer; while he may be personally

In spite of Gillard’s awful polls, there is no inclination in the Labor caucus to return to Rudd. by Mungo MacCallum on the nose with the electorate, his party as a whole is not; the same polls show that the Coalition’s lead over Labor is actually widening as Abbott’s own popularity shrinks. With an eight point lead after preferences, the Libs are not about to move for a spill. So much as we may dislike them and prefer their eagerly available alternatives we are stuck with the odd couple for the foreseeable future. And that’s the good news. The bad news is that we are also stuck with their policies, which in Gillard’s case are unsaleable and Abbott’s case untenable. We are, of course, talking about climate change, which increasingly is the only political game in town. The commentators are quite right when they say Gillard will stand or fall by her ability to impose a carbon tax, not only because of the intrinsic importance of the issue, but because she has nothing else to offer; there are no other significant reforms within sight. The only pos-

6CT 2P=D@ 5DGG<B@ @ ?J

climate change is real and man-made emissions are a major cause. Even Abbott now admits this – or at least claims to. The only remaining deniers are people like former TV entertainer Clive James and former reactionary Senator Nick Minchin, both of whose populist ravings are treated by a credulous media with the same respect accorded to climate scientists who have made a career-long, rigorous study of the available evidence and pronounced it more compelling with every year. Climate change cannot be prevented altogether, let alone reversed, but it can be limited, and sane governments will do what they can to limit it – as is increasingly happening. It is no longer a matter of Australia leading, but of keeping up. Even China, for so long a recalcitrant, is now coming to the party. And the Gillard plan, the first step towards a market-based trading scheme, is both simple and logical: tax the polluters,

but give some of it back as a subsidy to those whose ability to compete on the export market would be affected. The others will put up domestic prices to protect their profits, so most of the remaining tax will be distributed to consumers as offsets. But this, scream the neo-conservative economists, amounts to a redistribution of income from the rich to the poor. True, but it’s a relatively minor one, and given that the trend has been massively the other way in recent times, the rich can hardly complain. Any money left over will be spent on developing renewable energy, the long-term solution. Abbott’s unwavering line is that a carbon tax will push up the cost of living; well, it will push up the cost of carbon, but that is the point. His own, far more costly, alternative is to throw huge sums of taxpayers’ money at selected polluters and unproven carbon storage projects in the hope that they will achieve the same emission reductions as the government plan. Expert opinion is that they won’t, but that isn’t the point: Abbott does not need a genuine policy, just a political response. After that he can rely on the big polluters (pretending, dishonestly, to speak for the entire business community) to back him in what is a purely negative campaign. And he is winning it, and will continue to do so unless and until Gillard and her climate change minister Greg Combet, who is both smart and persistent and also his side’s best hope, get off their arses and take off the gloves. Against Abbott, logic and reason will not prevail; they are a necessary start, but in the end only an all-in maul will suffice. And who knows? Winning it might even push Gillard ahead of Rudd. Wouldn’t that be something.

Can housing be affordable? More square metres leads to more cost of your house. Consider the wall thickness. A 270mm wide cavity brick wall can add about 7.5m2 of extra concrete and roof compared to a 90mm stud external wall (110m2 house). That is about $10,000 extra cost or less internal space! Seventy millimetre wide internal walls instead of 90mm walls in the same house can save $2,800 in extra concrete and roof or bigger rooms and there is cheaper framing as well! Try to enter into the middle of your building as then the distance to all rooms is shortest, creating bigger rooms. Place access along the side of spaces and then corridors may not be necessary, creating bigger rooms again. Consider low-cost materials used in interesting ways, eg fibre cement cladding, battens, Colorbond, recycled timber, gal wire balustrading, gal pipe handrails, insulated translucent plastic claddings for windows, site rocks, etc. Used in a consid-

Q

ered, aesthetic way simple materials can be practical and very attractive. Passive solar design doesn’t cost any more but saves ongoing heating and cooling costs. Solar electricity returns cash during the life of your building while no other building component does. Consider longterm benefits of going off grid. A separate addition to your existing house is often the cheapest addition as it doesn’t involve much alteration to your existing house. Build in stages to spread costs. Asking an architect and a builder to together work out the best quality for your budget creates a united force to work in the best interests of your house procurement. Graeme Barr

Lennox Head Q The term ‘affordable housing’

is surely an oxymoron in this day and age and monumentally so in this part of the world. In past times communities looked to their councils to

provide this basic need, with council-built housing estates sometimes succeeding but more often than not turning into ghettos, sometimes multistoried and invariably bland to the point of ugly. In a perfect world a regional council like ours would form a partnership with a developer/s, make land available, ideally close to amenities, and facilitate the building of compact, efficient, people-friendly housing. Perhaps a modern version of the terrace concept achieving economy of scale with services, transport, recreation, etc. At more than 20 dwellings to the acre, the savings are potentially enormous and can be passed on to the purchaser who then also wouldn’t have the additional burden of a huge garden to fence and maintain, as well as being in walking or cycling range of shops, parks, etc. This is obviously not for everyone but for young couples starting out and for older people moving into retirement

they would be ideal. We have the knowledge and the technology to do this right. Of course as a last resort there is always the totalitarian camp model where young and old can share bunkhouses in a beautiful gated compound enjoying communal dining, ablutions and joyous working bees under the watchful eye of security personnel. I don’t for a moment believe that placing a prohibition on holiday letting will affect the rental situation in the shire. It’s unAustralian. These are mostly upper middle to high end properties anyway, on which the owners have to realise optimum rents in order to maintain the properties and pay their massive mortgages. They will be forced to go underground and join the pot smokers, illegal caravan and camper livers, transsexuals, right-wing councillors and other fringe dwellers of our increasingly intolerant society.

Byron Divided It is disappointing that a group with the name Byron United would create separation and divisiveness in the community about carving up the dollar pie from business. Local markets have for millennia been the gathering place for much more than cash transactions. Folk meet and greet, have a cuppa together, hear local news and who needs help in the community, encourage donations for worthy causes, listen to local musicians, as well as support local and grassroots crafts, arts, foods and industries, which

is the way of the past and the way of post-industrialist future. Grassroots enterprises and markets give much more back to the community than multinationals and I might suggest have more ‘right’ to operate in their own backyard. I come from a part of the community which is aware that unlimited more-ism creates peaks and crashes in cash flow (capitalism) and is prepared to live a bit leaner in order to maintain a middle path of sustainability. If there are more businesses than we can sustain in Byron, then please, don’t

bringing the Byron Bay International Film Festival to the people of the Shire! What a truly fabulous event it has been and what a joy to be exposed to such quirky and quality world cinema. The smiles on the faces of the people exiting the session I attended reflected the value of the work J’aimee has obviously put in over the past year to get this up and running. What was particularly attractive about it

was the ease of seeing individual sessions at extremely affordable prices, unlike some film festivals in the capital cities. The excellent quality of the sound and the large screen at the Community Centre provided an intimate cinematic experience. Thanks also to the volunteer ushers who welcomed everyone to the venue. It’s sometimes easy to forget what an amazing place Byron Bay is and how blessed we are with the variety and quality of

Sun bistro fears The Sun Bistro project architect Dan Connolly advises in last week’s Echo he wants to provide a ‘great venue for families’. How can a pub be a great venue for families? Dan also states, ‘everybody understands that alcohol has its negatives’. I find this a very condescending statement and if he really understood the negative affects alcohol can cause a family then there is no way he would be putting the words ‘pub’ (he calls it The Sun) and ‘great venue for families’ in the same paragraph. I am not against licensed venues, this town is full of licensed venues – I just think we don’t need more and I don’t think it’s appropriate to label them as family friendly places. What our families need is a community centre, a place where they can access services and information to help deal with the increasing number of social issues small coastal communities face. I believe a pub will exacerbate social problems including unem-

Not all sharks are in the water It was a nightmare. We were homeless for the next month, pitching our tent in secluded spots every night in torrential weather, with the added humiliation of the real estate painting us as filthy vandals. A friend gave me the number of the NRTAAS, and I called them up. They treated me with respect, listened to our story, encouraged me to defend the allegations, and guided me through the appeals process. They followed up after each round of Tenancy Tribunal hearings so far, and have been amazing. If you ever find yourself in the same position – call the NRTAAS – as they say, the worst sharks in Byron aren’t in the water, but you can’t let the bastards stop you from swimming!

We are writing to support the information regarding the Northern Rivers Tenants Advice & Advocacy Service provided by Matt Meir in the March 8 edition of The Echo. Our family bore the brunt of real estate greed last November, given only 24 hours notice to vacate our rented townhouse in a block in Paterson Street. I’ve since learned (thanks to NRTAAS) that this is illegal, but the snarling real estate agent who threatened massive financial penalties and police involvement if we didn’t leave had us on the back foot! So we packed like crazy, on the phone constantly trying to find somewhere else to live in Byron. (Nothing of course – Schoolies then holiday letting!) My wife and I juggle three jobs between us, we needed to be close to school for the kids, so whoever was working could use the car, and whoever

wasn’t could be there for school dropoffs and pickups and to mind the dog (no room at the puppy motel either). We shoved everything into storage, cleaned like fury, tumbled the kids into the car, thanked our neighbours, and made it out before the real estate agency charged us penalties. It didn’t matter a bit. Nearly three weeks after the first wave of Schoolies moved in and started partying hard, the real estate agency sent us an ‘End of Tenancy’ Report detailing huge holes in the walls, curtains ripped from their sockets, urine soaking the carpets and burn marks all through the kitchen and loungeroom. They demanded we pay for the damages, none of which we would ever contemplate, let alone carry out – yet they are claiming a total higher than our $2,500 bond.

ployment (a few lowly paid jobs is not helping unemployment), affordable housing/ homelessness, rising health (emotional and physical) costs and daily living costs. I am a supporter of the Byron art scene and have seen many artists pushed out of the community because of high living costs – we are losing our soul. The Arts and Industry Park is an area where creativity still exists in this fast developing corporate/mono town. I fear what ‘gentrification’ will do to this community. If the developers really want to ‘develop’ our town and provide ‘great venues for families’ then please do some research

and look at the needs of the ental medicine is not, or is less residents – not the needs of so. I refute this implication. As far as safety is concerned their bank accounts.

Comment

State gouging of money from councils has to stop Patrick Morrisey

Candidates in the NSW election need to detail their policies on how Commonwealth Financial Assistance Grants (FAGs) and NSW land taxes are calculated and distributed in NSW. The Coalition’s Shadow Treasurer Mike Baird argues that if elected their ‘first port of call for land tax will be making the valuations fairer and more transparent ... and making NSW more competitive and that includes land tax squarely in our sights’. However no other candidates or parties have declared their position on what to do with land tax, and over $400 million collected from north coast councils over the past five years. The current system is unfair, out of date and does not adequately reflect changing demographics and the physical topography in NSW, nor the cost-shifting going on. Byron Shire is a good example of how inequitable the system is for allocating grants and collecting land taxes in NSW. I initiated a FOI (GIPAA) request to the NSW Office of State Revenue (OSR) on all land tax paid per local government area in NSW over the past five years. Figures released show the NSW government raised nearly $20 million in land tax from

2,549 properties in Byron Shire in 2010 alone, and a total of $85,996,538 over the past five years (2006-2010). This gouging of money from small rural shires by the NSW government is not financially sustainable. High land values may benefit landowners, but it undermines the financial viability of rural local governments.

High land tax This is because high land values result in Byron Shire Council receiving the lowest Financial Assistance Grants (FAGs) per capita of any council in its category in NSW while collectively shire ratepayers pay the highest land tax per local government area relative to its size in NSW and possibly Australia. Compare Byron Shire’s grants received and land tax paid with adjacent coastal shires. Ballina Shire has a slightly larger population, receives a similar FAG compared with its population however ratepayers pay only about one third of the land tax. Tweed Shire to the north has nearly triple the population, yet pays similar land tax to Byron Shire. Also in 2010 Byron Shire Council received back about 12 per cent of the land tax raised in the shire by way of Finan-

cial Assistance Grants (FAGs), whereas Ballina Shire received about 40 per cent, Lismore nearly 300 per cent and Tweed Shire about 40 per cent. By any measure used Byron Shire Council is underresourced financially to meet the expectations of residents and visitors. This combination of low grants and high taxes has multiple flow-on effects for Council and its residents. It produces unaffordable housing for many and reduced public funds to maintain those public assets that service those apparently valuable properties. Combined with this, the NSW government promotes Byron Shire as a tourist destination, but does not allow the council to raise revenue from that income source, making the system less equitable.

Assets underfunded Critical financial factors are also ignored in the allocation of grants such as the conditions of public assets like roads in a shire with some of the highest rainfalls and steepest slopes in NSW, compounding maintenance costs. The NSW government’s formula for allocating Financial Assistance Grants is based on ranking councils on their ‘greatest assessed relative need’ com-

pared to all other councils. And councils with high land values are considered to be more able to raise revenue to meet their financial obligations. In response to Byron Council’s continually raised concerns about using property values to assess grants, the NSW Local Government Grants Commission acknowledges the shortcomings of the Commonwealth Local Government (Financial Assistance) Act 1995 but defends using property values as the most equitable method of comparative assessment: ‘Property values provide the best and simplest overall available indicator of the relative strength of the economic base of different local government areas. … Land values are used to rank councils along a continuum ranging from those with the strongest capacity to raise revenue and those that have the weakest capacity.’ By ‘raising revenue’ one can assume raising rates is the most common method for local governments; however, recent attempts by Byron Council to raise rates above the CPI have been refused by the same Department of Local Government that administers the Grants Commission which argues LGAs with high land tax have a higher ability to raise revenue. The logic that because a

council has high land values they can afford to raise more revenue is illogical if that council is refused permission to raise rates by the same government. A fundamental flaw in the Commission’s logic is to make a direct link between high land values and a council’s capacity to raise revenue. Councils are also highly constrained in their ability to raise revenue from other sources, such as tourism.

Visitor impact Byron Council’s preliminary estimates indicate that the increase of ‘non-resident (visitors) impacts may be in the order of 28 per cent against the Shire’s resident population’. ‘Managing the impact on infrastructure and amenity is a major issue for Byron Shire. The relative small rate base of approximately 14,425 rateable assessments must provide and maintain infrastructure used by residents and more than 1.2 million visitors annually… funded through the Community Infrastructure budget’. Both the Australian and NSW governments promote tourism as an economic driver yet to date do not permit local governments, who provide and maintain the majority of the community infrastructure

visitors use, the ability to raise a tourism surcharge. Possibly 400-600 houses in one town alone in Byron Shire are used as holiday accommodation all year round. Most owners of these investment homes would pay land tax based on a high land value. Yet that tax is not available to provide public infrastructure to service that property, nor the visitors using it.

Bed tax Clearly if Byron Council were permitted to levy a bed tax and/ or was repaid the land tax collected from houses being holiday let all year round, Council would have funds to maintain community assets that these tourists and residents use, like roads, bridges, footpaths and beaches, not to mention providing funds for affordable housing opportunities. Byron Shire Council needs NSW land tax to be returned to the shire and the flexibility to raise other revenues based on the perceived desirability of the shire to live in and visit, to properly fund maintenance and improvements to the community assets which service the residents and visitors alike.

mayor of Byron Shire.

Gaza destruction As Gaddafi unleashes the full force of modern weapons against the Libyan rebels, it is appropriate to remember Israel’s blitzkrieg against Gaza, Operation Cast Lead, which killed 1,400 civilians and laid waste hospitals, clinics, schools, the university, police stations and UN facilities like the UN Works and Relief Agency. White phosphorus was also used, causing wounds to ignite on hospital operating tables. No-one called for a No Fly Zone. This destruction continues with Israel deliberately bombing Gaza’s AL-Qerem Medical Supplies Factory, Jabalya, injuring women and children (February 8, 2011). Ex-US Marine Kenneth O’Keefe filmed the attack – www.youtube.com/ watch?v=ceuO9JtLZIg. Nothing was reported in the mainstream media. More recently, Israel has bombed the university at night, smashing the rebuilding efforts. Again, there is no mention of this in the mainstream media. This weekend Byron hosts the Living Together happening. Shouldn’t we include the Gazans and represent their suffering to our government and Israel’s embassy? Gareth W R Smith

Mutual consent I believe the strongest objection to same-sex marriage comes from the tradition (and tacit acceptance) of male ownership of women. In Australia today the father’s ‘giving’ of the bride to the groom still signifies this exchange of ownership. A man can’t own a man nor a woman a woman. Who, in a same-sex marriage, is the dominant partner? If civil marriage (that recognised by law) was identified as a ‘mutual’ commitment between the consenting signatory parties, how liberating that would be for all. Maybe even removing the last psychological defence for spousal abuse. Keith Watson

Over-diagnosis – and the dangers of early detection A powerful new book calls for greater awareness of the potential harms of early diagnosis The new book Over-diagnosed charts how the definitions of these conditions have changed in recent decades, with boundaries being widened and treatment thresholds lowered, dramatically expanding the numbers of people classified as patients, purely because they’re at some risk of future bad events like heart attacks or fractures. For example, changed definitions of high blood pressure produced a 35 per cent jump in the numbers of people classed as having that condition, while lowering the definition of ‘high’ cholesterol meant tens of millions more Americans became patients.

Ray Moynihan

When it comes to the business of medicine, our familiar assumptions are often dead wrong. The idea that the latest drug is always better than the old ones is a dangerous fiction, with several new blockbuster pills pulled from the market in recent years because of serious harms. The notion that common operations are all proven is fantasy, with some knee and back procedures performed for years without good evidence they even help people. Yet perhaps the unhealthiest fallacy of all is the popular conviction that ‘early detection’ is always the best option. According to a powerful new book, ‘over-diagnosis’ is one of medicine’s biggest problems, with millions of people becoming patients unnecessarily, causing untold harms and wasting staggering amounts of resources.

may cause many men to be diagnosed and treated with dangerous procedures for cancers that may never have harmed them. In one of its many horrifying statistics, the new book states that in the best-case scenario, screening the healthy male population for prostate cancer means that ‘for every man who avoids a prostate cancer death, roughly fifty are over-diagnosed and treated needlessly’. Prostate cancer is also a powerful example of the wider problem of the weakness of commonly used tests. The popular PSA blood test uncovers ‘abnormalities’ which cause great anxiety and further intervention, but which left alone may never develop into disease. From simple swabs to sophisticated scans, we are constantly ‘seeing too much’. For instance, Overdiagnosed discusses how CT scans can produce inaccurate

diagnoses, which in turn create the potential for unnecessary gallbladder, knee and back surgery.

Risk factors As others have written before, many of the big and costly medical conditions of our time are not in fact ‘diseases’, but rather they’re ‘riskfactors’ portrayed as diseases. The widespread use of pills for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar and low bone mineral density costs vast amounts of resources globally, yet there are disturbing questions about whether this is money well spent.

The paradox here is that in our rush to prevent illness, we may be doing more harm than good to many people. As those at lower risk of future disease are treated, the chances their treatments will help them decline. Over-diagnosed explains that if you give drugs to someone with severely high blood pressure for five years, the chance they will have a bad event prevented is almost 80 per cent – which means almost everyone taking their pills is helped. Alternatively for those with only very mild high blood pressure, the chance of benefit is closer to five per cent, which means 95 per cent of these people are taking drugs for five years without benefit. Another example is bone thinning, with many women who take popular drugs for mild osteoporosis gaining no benefit, yet running the risk of serious harms, which can in-

Slippery slope

Potential harm The just-released Over-diagnosed: making people sick in the pursuit of health (Beacon Press) is written by three widely published researchers from the prestigious Dartmouth Medical School in the United States, known for its rigour and scepticism. As practising doctors and scientists the authors are well aware that in many cases an early diagnosis can prevent illness, reduce suffering and extend life. But as the evidence in their accessible book makes clear, too often people are being ‘over-diagnosed’ – labelled with a condition that will never cause them symptoms or premature death. And as the authors chillingly remind us, someone who’s been overdiagnosed can never benefit from treatment; they can only be harmed. A strong example is prostate cancer, where there’s been widespread concern for years that mass screening programs

I FIRST SAW XAVIER RUDD ABOUT A DECADE AGO. HE WAS PLAYING A GIG AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN TO A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE. I WAS AMAZED AT THE TIME AT JUST WHAT A RACKET ONE BOY COULD MAKE. HE WAS MESMERISING. I remember going home and telling my partner that I had seen this kid play didge and

Rudd sing and play guitar and stomp box and create the sound of four men. ‘He’ll be huge,’ I predicted. Turns out I have psychic powers. Since then Xavier Rudd has become one of the most respected and loved acts on the Australian circuit. Able to entrance thousands at a time, this particular Mr Rudd knows how to work a crowd. SEVEN caught up with him him pre-Bluesfest.

What has been the most extraordinary thing for you in your musical journey? I have seen and done a lot it seems in the last 10 years internationally; too many highlights to mention but I guess the biggest buzz simply is the support of folks worldwide in so many places who feel what I do. My music is very sacred to me You are one of those artists who can really connect with an audience. Why do you think that is? Hard for me to say. I just open my heart and let it flow and really absorb what people are giving out, too, and sort of mix up all the energy and spit it back out What are the messages or the things that you want most to communicate with your audience? I don’t set out to communicate anything. However my music reflects how I feel and there are many things I feel strongly about in this world. Respect of culture and country mainly.Â

YOU LOOK JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER

I see

Rudd...

Can music change people? It can assist people on their journey.

Has playing the didge made you more aware of the issues and challenges that face Indigenous communities? Mmm – maybe. It was my message stick to Yongul Country and the spirit of Yirdaki, which was more I think a blessing to travel with that old man spirit. So indirectly it’s a connection to all other mobs who didn’t use dij just through respect. It’s one love one mob these days.

m u e s v i i

She’s well kept, I’ll give her that. She goes to Curves three times a week and she’s a very pretty woman. If I saw her at the gym and she was a complete stranger and someone said, ‘Wow, you look just like that random woman over there on the treadmill,’ I’d say, ‘Really? thanks.’ It would be a compliment. But I don’t want to look like her. It’s not personal. It’s just that she’s my mother. I want people to say, ‘Wow, you look just like Jennifer Hawkins,’ and then qualify it with, ‘as you’re getting older’. Although as I’m getting older I’m feeling more on the Stephen Hawkings side of things. But it’s true. I am starting to look like my mother. I’m even starting to sound like her. Every now and then I’ll be standing on the back step nagging the kids and my voice will crack into a nasal Queensland Strine and I hear my mother’s voice whining from my lips.

This Wednesday is singer/songwriter open mic night at the Rails. Held on the third Wednesday of each month, it’s been a very interesting and entertaining evening and the drawcard of original music only has bought artists out of the woodwork and an audience interested in hearing something inspirational, different and creative. If you are a singer/songwriter and want your ‘15 minutes of fame’, come on down this Wednesday and put your name down or phone Jamie to book a spot on 6680 8938 or 0411 288 101. From 7pm.

Slava and Leonard, Joseph and James – one super group, two sets of siblings, and four internationally acclaimed musicians: this brotherly collaboration displays sibling rivalry at its best. Regarded as two of Australia’s finest classical guitarists, Slava and Leonard Grigoryan join Joseph Tawadros, master of the oud, and James Tawadros, world-class percussionist specialising on the req, an Egyptian tambourine, to perform a repertoire that crosses cultural and stylistic barriers … from world music to jazz, to classical and traditional. They perform at the Byron Community Centre on Friday 25 March.

The Tim Stokes Band and their rootsy mix of desert blues, lounge funk and spit-polish soul will be knocking out at the Rails this Sunday. Stokes chunks out his sound with a handadapted lap-slide guitar and his trusty Maton acoustic. Recently he has been working with bassist Jamie Birrel and drummer, percussionist and producer Guy Anderton on his soon-tobe-released album, currently in the mixing stages. Stokes flipped from local chef to performer two years ago and has never looked more comfortable, happy and downright sexy

The Wonder of You This Saturday night The Lucky Wonders are back in full swing in the lush Byron Brewery beer garden, from 6.30pm, with free entry. Their latest single Anyway, a tribute to the artist’s path of throwing everything you have into chasing your dreams, has just made it to the semifinals in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition. Before heading south again for a NSW tour, the Wonders will also be part of the Northern Rivers presented by RAZ Music

Mothers aren’t normal women: they’re mothers. It’s like a whole other species. I know because I am one. Now when I fill in forms that ask Male or Female, I make a new category called ‘other’. I am no longer a woman. I am a guilt-delivery device. I am a receptacle of judgment. A bottomless cup of conditional love.

Tim’s Stoked about the Band

I don’t imagine they’re any more well-disposed to be told ‘you look just like your mother’ as I was. No gorgeous teenage girl wants to be told she looks like a 40-year-old woman.

Anyway, turns out she got her own back. I am like her. Just like her. She won. I thought having daughters that I’d get to pull a prize in the genetic lucky dip. I’ve been waiting for people to croon at my beautiful girls, ‘Wow, they look just like you’. They don’t. They say, ‘Wow, the girls are looking gorgeous. They look just like your mother.’

Original and Open

Band of Brothers

I remember looking at my mother as a child. I thought she was beautiful. And soft. And smothery. I remember standing eye height to her butt and thinking wow, that is the biggest bum I’ve ever seen. It was just this massive expanse of arse. I’ve seen photos of my mother’s arse in the 70s. She was tiny. Barely a size 8. I can’t imagine what my own children have thought of my humungous booty.

Oscar Wilde put it most succinctly: ‘All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That is his.’ It’s ironic that you become the thing that you set yourself up not to be. As a teenager I reduced my mother to tears in an argument by shouting, ‘When I grow up I don’t want to be anything like YOU!’ What a nasty little bitch I was.

up on stage, belting out his uplifting madrigals that continue to charm and captivate audiences time and time again.

Lately all my family members have been telling me how much I look like my Mum. They qualify it with ‘as you’re getting older’. Like that’s less insulting. I’ll be all dressed up feeling a million bucks and they’ll hit me with a ‘God, you look like Carol’. Like I’m no longer a person but a flesh and blood homage to my Mum.

Look, I love my Mum. As far as 60-year-old women go I think she’s very attractive; she could even qualify as a GILF. My stepdad’s nine years younger, so I suppose she almost qualifies as a cougar. (Albeit a cougar in comfortable shoes and tracksuit pants.)

You say that music is a gift from your ancestors and it’s your journey to share it. What do you mean by that? My music is never mentally planned and never has been; it just flows through me, often unconsciously, whenever it happens. When it does it is fairly consuming but it all happens pretty quickly. I understand that spirit moves through me and I have some strong ones with me.

trdtyuudhdtjulfuvznyddtrsxujc

No-one wants to be told they look like their mother. Especially blokes. It’s very emasculating for a 20-year-old boy to be told he looks like a 50-year-old woman. As a girl it’s not much better. Unless of course your mother is Grace Kelly or Angelina Jolie. Even then I bet their daughters get the shits when people lay that stupid line on them. Especially Zahara Jolie. She’s adopted from Africa. And as for Caroline looking like Grace, well, Grace is dead. That’s hardly a compliment.

Kids spend their entire lives trying to establish an identity that is separate from their parents. It seems cruel that your genes conspire to make you look like the very people you’re rebelling against. That’s like Tony Abbott suddenly starting to look like Julia Gillard. Or Shane Warne starting to look like Simone.

How much of yourself and your life goes into your music? It’s pretty much all there; my kids are in all my music for sure

it all flows. What should we expect for your Bluesfest show? It’ll be my first time at Bluesfest with Izintaba, which is always special, and actually we haven’t done much really in Aus since the Koonyum Sun release; we have been so busy overseas. So I think it’ll be a blast. The coolest thing by far, though, will be having my kids there!

Bluesfest performer Michael Franti shows his Lisa Hunt – Mullum on philanthropic side on Wednesday 20 April WLING O with a very special performance (with friends) B M U L L My Mind T THE MU A H T C N R at the Hotel Great Northern. This fundraiser U A H 26 M LISA With a perfectly good Saturday ATURDAY is for Queensland Flood and Christchurch CLUB ON S night open in an otherwise Earthquake Appeals. Stay tuned to see who will appear with chockers touring schedule, Lisa Franti on the night. Hunt did what she’s done in the past: turned her sights locally and decided to self promote. Lisa says, ‘Last Easter we did the Here comes The Sun Rose same thing with a fantastic turnout; so I have the confidence In a time when Australian music could appear to have lost its now to put on other events, particularly in areas where the pubs way, The Sun Rose is a revitalising reminder of the foundation and clubs won’t do it for me’. The night is Saturday 26 March at that Australian rock music was built on. A culmination between the Mullumbimby Bowling Club with a show time of around front man James Dobbs (formerly of The Painted Crows), 9pm. It will be a ‘dine and dance’ experience aimed squarely at lead guitarist George Christie, and bassist Brent Crysell (both lovers of the vintage soul music that is Hunt’s forte; it’s for those formerly of Fort) and Jason Banister on drums, The Sun Rose who want an atmosphere a little more sleek than an afternoon is something of a North Coast-bred super-band that is sure to be the surprise package of the forthcoming festival season. In their early shows The Sun Rose are drawing comparisons to Australian iconic rockers Powderfinger and Grinspoon and are currently completing their debut album, for a release later this year.

not just visual. I have just had a poetry night with Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth.’ These, along with jazz nights, will be regular features at Art Piece. Check out what’s on show at Art Piece Gallery, Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby.

I’m a Peepli Person In the lead-up to state elections in the Indian village of Peepli, two poor farmers, Natha and Budhia, face losing their land over an unpaid bank loan. Desperate, they seek help from an apathetic local politician, who scornfully suggests they commit suicide to benefit from a government program that aids the families of indebted deceased farmers. When a journalist overhears Budhia urge Natha to ‘do what needs to be done’ for the sake of their families, a media frenzy ignites around whether or not Natha will commit suicide. Mullum Flicks presents Peepli at the Drill Hall on Saturday and Sunday at 8pm. Arrive at 7pm for dinner and dessert. Tickets $12 at Mullum bookshop and dinner is optional and can be purchased at the venue. Although if you get there early you’ll get the best seat, and something to eat!

Saying your Piece It takes a very creative curator to keep a gallery open. Nadinbe Abensur of Mullumbimby’s Art Piece Gallery is just that. Surviving the impacts of the GFC and weathering the reduced tourist numbers from the Queensland floods, Nadine has initiated some exciting new strategies to invigorate her gallery. Nadine notes the difficult place that privately funded galleries find themselves: ‘We function like a public gallery, but in fact it’s entirely commercial. The gallery doesn’t get any funding. Most galleries don’t get past two years of operation, and this is my fourth year.’

Sea Shepherd Whaledance Sea Shepherd Byron Bay and Electric Forest Productions are hosting a Whaledance equinox event at Main Arm’s Kohinur Hall on Sunday.

With an eclectic mix of music, art, film and delightful food the aim is to bring together the community to raise funds for the Sea Shepherd organisation to assist in their noble fight to end commercial whaling. With the recent success of Sea Shepherd’s Operation No Compromise, the Whaledance event has been upgraded to a victory celebration! Whale champion Howie Cooke is one of the guest speakers. Howie is a longtime whale activist and Sea Shepherd crew member recently returned from the successful mission to the Southern Ocean. Nicole McLachlan will also be speaking about her experiences as a Cove Guardian. All profits from the Whaledance event will be donated to Sea Shepherd, with many artists, musicians and volunteers freely giving their time and energy to help our cetacean relations live in peace and harmony in our oceans. From 3pm.

The most obvious challenges that face a gallery owner in a country town is the obvious: the fact that it’s a country town. Nadine agrees. ‘The main challenge is that it’s a small town with a limited audience. But they are a particularly keen audience and they love art. I’m looking at making work more accessible for people who may think they can’t afford it.’ From this week Nadine is having the works of selected artists available at oncein-a-lifetime prices. This month also Nadine is launching Friends of the Gallery, a program that allows art lovers to become a patron of their local gallery. ‘It’s a three-tier program,’ says Nadine, ‘with membership at $100, $500 and $1000 per year. It will not only help to fund the running of the gallery but also instigate artist talks and private functions for platinum members.’ French-born Nadine reflects on why she chose to open a gallery in Mullumbimby. ‘When I first moved to the area I was struck by the standard of work. I recently went back home and to London and I didn’t see another gallery like this one. People keep telling me this as well. I’m not trying to be cutting edge, or avante garde, and on the other hand I’m trying to give people something a few notches up from what you’d expect in a regional gallery.’ But it’s not just about visual art at Art Piece. ‘I am looking at using the gallery as a venue for all sorts of artistic expressions,

Cinema Reviews

Peepli [Live]

It’s unusual for a film to open on such a high, if understated, emotional note. Half-witted peasant Natha and his drone brother Budhia are returning to their dusty village with news that the family’s small farm will be lost because they have defaulted on a loan. But it’s not so much their plight that touches as the celebratory song of hope that accompanies their journey – ‘behind tattered pockets lie hearts deep as seas’. Western audiences are as familiar with Bollywood’s airbrush and bling as they are with the likes of Danny Boyle’s uncompromising focus on India’s cruel squalor, but firsttime director Anusha Rizvi’s tragi-comedy is firmly rooted in the earthy but elevating realism of the great Satyajit Ray. With no option available to

save the ancestral plot, Natha decides that he will commit suicide and thus endow his wife with a handsome government compensation pay-out – the transformation of India’s economy from being agrarian based to high tech has had a staggering impact on the poor of the land, with 182,000 farmers taking their own lives between 1987 and 1997. Nathi becomes headline news and TV crews descend upon his village from all parts, doing live crosses to update their viewers with the latest developments – Nathi, an overwhelmed cause célèbre, can’t even have a dump without his poo being subjected to analysis. Concurrently, the district of Peepli is about to have a by-election and the rapacious media’s obsession with Nathi puts him at the centre of the unctuous candidates’ wheelings and dealings.

is a vanishing art, what with foul-mouthed, knickerless buffoonery now passing as wit, so Rizvi’s tale, rich in social comment and metaphor, and beautifully photographed, is a refreshing escape from the norm. Whether you’ve had your appetite for cultural diversity whetted by the Byron Film Fest, or if you simply want to enjoy a movie that poetically explores the human condition with equal parts affection and ire, this is a must see. Screening at Mullum Flicks this weekend. ~ John Campbell

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ Nest It’s a given at the movies that if you see a really big, monosyllabic bloke with shortcropped snowy hair going around killing innocent people with ruthless sangfroid (think ‘Fargo’), then you can bet the sheep station that he’ll get his juicy comeuppance in the finale. The ogre’s retribution in an abandoned warehouse, delivered with a nail-gun, is the highlight of Daniel Alfredson’s last installment of Stieg Larsson’s bestselling potboiler. Readers know the story inside out, whereas those of us who attend once a year to catch up only have the most superficial understanding of the state of play so, floundering immediately, I was grateful for the flashbacks that filled in the black holes of my memory of the earlier episodes. Nonetheless, lacking the reader’s familiarity (and devotion), I found that I needed to concentrate too hard on piecing together the details of not only Lisbeth’s back-story, but also the seemingly endless array of corrupt old blokes with whom she came in contact. Combined with the sombre colours and constant reading (and is it just me, or is Swedish a particularly exhausting language to listen to?), it eventually did me in and I slept blissfully for a good ten minutes out of a taxing 147. Throughout, the trilogy’s strength has been with the performance of the sensational Noomi Rapace as the damaged but unbowed punk heroine, especially when compared with the charismafree Michael Nyquist, but we just don’t get enough of her.

too long we only see Lisbeth recuperating in hospital (she was shot in the head at the end of Episode 2), then, belatedly, in court staring down her accusers, by which time she too is beginning to look wearied by the ongoing drama. The first act was riveting, the second confusing and dull and this – ultimately resembling a highgloss crime-and-punishment TV serial – though more engaging than its predecessor, will be appreciated mostly by those who devoured the novels with such relish. Loved the nail-gun scene, but. ~ John Campbell

Hereafter Clint Eastwood’s latest took me by surprise straightaway. Only minutes in and the 2004 tsunami is smashing through a resort island. The CGI is horribly convincing as we follow the destiny of Marie Lelay (Cécile De France), a holidaying French TV journalist who is being swept along and pounded by the torrent. It’s a jolting, instantly gripping opening. Dragged from the water and given resuscitation, she has died before regaining consciousness. While gone, she learnt that there is another side, and she decides to write her commissioned book about it. In London, Marcus (Frankie McLaren), after his twin brother Jason has been killed and his junkie mother institutionalised, single-mindedly seeks an expert in the afterlife (he googles a number of possibilities). George (Mat Damon) was a professional psychic who could not handle the pressure of what he sees as his cursed ability. Now he’s happy to drive a fork-lift at the wharves, but you know that his meeting Marcus and Marie is pre-ordained. The set-up fits like a glove and the ensuing acts are as particular and atmospheric as the Dickens audio novels that George listens to. Seamlessly, the three progress towards their intersection, but with more digression than is usual from Eastwood. Leisurely might not

be the word for a film about death, but it is so easily plotted and developed, lingering with observations of Marie’s work relationships, letting us in on George’s attraction to Melanie (Bryce Dallas Howard, terrific) after they’d met at cooking lessons – and, surprising too is a horny scene in which George and Melanie, alternately blindfolded, spoon feed each other tasty morsels in class. Another little thing that I enjoyed (cheesy but so

effective) was the almost sub-aural electric thrum which is heard every time George, by clutching hands with somebody, makes ‘contact’ with a spirit – it’s a primal device, but its import brings you back to earth and gives George his credence. Not every storyline is resolved and for this Eastwood fan it was not devastating like Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino, but at the end I think I understood that that was not its intention – that what it aims to do is comfort. It is a movie of great temptation, boldly suggesting an answer to the vexing question of our own mortality without ever sounding didactic or worse, loopy. You’d have to concede that it’s an old man’s prerogative to try and shine a light on death and, at eighty, Eastwood elegantly explores the heaviest subject with the lightest touch. ~ John Campbell

but certain cautions are in order. You’re in overdrive, others may not be; so if your plans or opinions are challenged, be advised the three things that won’t work in your favour are venting, interrogating or issuing ultimatums. F TAURUS: There’s both astral and practical support for your current plans, while Venus in an unusual mood suggests expressing the wilder side of your personality this week. And exploring your spiritual side, which in the case of some Taurans means accepting that yes, you do have one. G G EMINI: With your planetary ruler Mercury in Aries, nothing could stem the effervescence of your ideas and opinions this week, though unsubstantiated gossip could have repercussions you’re likely to regret.

CHESS by Ian Rogers

While the world’s top players this week line up for another thud and blunder session of blindfold chess in Monaco, a little known German FIDE Master is preparing to climb blindfold chess’s Mount Everest. At the end of 2011, Marc Lang (pictured) will attempt to break Miguel Najdorf’s 1947 record by playing 46 games simultaneously blindfolded. That’s right – 46 games at once without seeing any of the boards. When Andre Philidor played three games simultaneously blindfold in 1783, the organisers obtained affidavits from the participants because they feared that the outside world would not believe that such a feat was possible.

Grandmaster, completed a 22 board exhibition in 1984 and always regarded Koltanowski’s record as breakable, albeit with at least six months intensive preparation. However, Najdorf ’s 45 games in Brazil in 1947 – played in order to get the news to his family in Poland that he had survived WWII – was considered so outrageous that until recently the legitimacy of the record was doubted. (Two later record claims, by Flesch and Bjelica, were definitely fraudulent.) In 2009 Lang broke Miles’ European record, then last year he beat Koltanowski’s and there seems no reason to doubt that he has the skill, memory and determination to reach his goal of 46 games. Lang may be virtually unknown outside Germany but keep in mind, as you watch Anand, Kramnik, Carlsen and Topalov struggle with single blindfold games in Monaco – for a massive prize fund – that there is a FIDE Master in Germany who is the real master of the blindfold chessboard.

Yatan Holistic Ayurvedic Centre Menopause is more than Hot Flushes and Night Sweats! Many women equate only hot flushes and night sweats with menopause, believing if they can get rid of these symptoms then their problem is solved. However, in reality, these symptoms are only two of a number of health issues that can arise during this phase of life, causing your body to decline physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. They are the body’s “red alert”, indicating internal imbalances that will also result in other symptoms gradually appearing, as indicated in the picture (see

A night at the theatre or cinema, a group meeting, a restaurant dinner, without being able to hear? This is what many adults who lose their hearing partially or completely have to live with every day. Some people lose their hearing within a very short time (from accidents, diseases, illnesses etc.), while for others it is progressive and can take 20, 30 or 40 years. Hearing deteriorates from year to year and the person has to adjust to it. One of the most common causes of progressive hearing loss is work-related noise exposure and presbycusis (age related hearing loss), but young people can also be affected. Unfortunately, it is only when the person has already lost a lot of hearing that they consult an audiologist. Adult Hearing Checklist ◆ Do you often ask people to repeat what they have said? Do you sometimes hear but fail to understand words? ◆ Have you noticed recently people mumble more often? Does your family complain that you play the radio or TV too loudly? ◆ Are you having more and more difficulty hearing in noisy places?

GREEN ENERGY NOT THE POWER BILL CULPRIT STEP INTO LIFE Sharp rises in household power bills are being driven by rising network costs and retailer margins, not renewable energy, according to a new report by independent energy market analysts ROAM Consulting.

According to ROAM, renewable energy schemes were found to contribute only between four and seven per cent to power bills, at the same time delivering Australia’s main response to the economic threat of climate change.

GROUP OUTDOOR PERSONAL TRAINING

Health Study Concludes: ‘People who exercise outdoors are more likely to stick to their exercise routine.’ The study (Science Daily 5 Feb 2011) found that most trials showed an improvement in the mental wellbeing of participants – compared with exercising indoors, resulting in greater feelings of revitalisation, increased energy and positive engagement, together with decreases in tension and depression. Step into Life, Australia’s largest group outdoor personal training program, have found similar results. Its average client sticks to the outdoor training routine for two years, on average; as opposed to three months for gym members. ‘Group outdoor personal training is an excellent way for people in the community to look after their health.’ Call Damian for your FREE trial session – 0400 920 269.

OUT THERE

If you do a bit of preparation now, you could have a beautiful display ready for Easter, and also give plants time to establish before the winter months. For shady areas, medenillias, plectranthus, golden candles, bromeliads and caladiums will give a stunning display, while in the sun goldfussia, sambuc jasmine, pentus or browallia will give a splash of something different. Bromeliads always look good, and you can see some of my selection on my website – sculpturegarden.com.au – along with the hand decorated pots that are available at the moment. Enjoy these cooler months in your garden, and make it into a wonderland! Call 0429 662 983.

Clean Energy Council chief executive Matthew Warren said rolling out clean energy around Australia was the start of the transformation required to clean up Australia’s electricity supply without imposing major costs on households. ‘Electricity bills are going up, but renewable energy is not to blame,’ Mr Warren said.

Affordable, stylish and eco-friendly

‘While we are finalising the design of a carbon price, the national 20 per cent renewable energy target remains the single largest greenhouse gas abatement program in Australian history. ‘Over the next decade it will cut Australia’s greenhouse emissions by around 380

In David Trevor-Jones’s small, neat butchery on the family farm, he and his wife Kimberley work at transforming their own beef into sausages. David calls it the ‘shop’ and this is where he spends most of Monday and Tuesday each week. The family farm spreads over 140 acres of Hayters Hill property; David is fifth generation. In 1881 his great-grandfather Eli Hayter had settled there and begun, as the town’s first butcher, to supply Byron Bay and its environs with meat. Part of the property was passed on to Eli’s nephew JJ Hayter, who founded a highly successful dairy herd, becoming a founder member and chairman of Norco for several years. Dairying continued there until the 1960s when beef production resumed. An only child, David’s mother Julie married the very Welsh-sounding Owen Trevor-Jones and then went on to produce offspring with very Welsh names. David takes care of the valueadded beef and his brother Hugh the eggs, both which sell at local farmers markets.

University was a four-year course which tossed in six months in Indonesia working in a feedlot, looking after the calves. At the end of his degree he came back home, but in the knowledge that he still wanted to do more, to work overseas, even if necessary as a volunteer. A job in the newspaper decided all that, taking him to New Guinea to work on a coconut and cocoa plantation. He was 28 years old and had 500 people working under him. ‘It was amazing living up there,’ he tells me. ‘I extended my three-year contract to four years.’

Juniors are Master golfers Historic Q-Clash for Suns

About 80 golfers competed on Sunday in the Ocean Shores Junior Masters which is a qualifier for the Greg Norman Golf Foundation Masters. The quality was exemplary with the likes of Annie Choi from Korea who has only been playing golf for four years, and who in 2010 won the Australian Girls Amateur Championship. Fu-

ture and current stars Anna Lim who at 13 years of age plays off scratch. Michelle Gunawan from Coolangatta-Tweed and our own Jess Dengate all played a fantastic round on the Ocean Shores course. The boys also had a hot field: Tim Hyland from Bonville and Luke Bourke from the Gold Coast along with Jimmy

Chung, Charles Ryu, Brenton Parrish and Jack Sullivan.Tim Hyland ended the day with the trophy with a courageous 73 with the only real blemish being a three putt on the 11th for a bogey. Pictured are the girls who played together: Michelle, girl’s winner Anna, Annie and Jessie.

The opening quarter of the Gold Coast Suns v Brisbane Lions Queensland Clash or as it will become known as the ‘Q-Clash’, was a demostration of the world of possibilites in store for the AFL as the new team stepped onto the paddock for the historic first ever clash of the Queenslanders. The Suns’ defender Jarrod Harbrow was all over the ball in this contest with a pack of Lions during Sunday afternoon’s game which eventually saw the felines out-play the rookies: the Lions 16.20.121 to the Suns 7.12.54.

Green buildings rate tops in investment stakes The new Property Council of Australia/IPD Green Property Investment Index has for the first time given the Australian market clear evidence of the importance of green investment revealing that office buildings with an environmental rating outperform non-rated buildings. Launched at the property industries signature green building conference Green Cities www. greencities.org.au outperformance was seen across each star rating, with the strongest returns observed in four star rated assets, according to the report. The index tracks investment performance of commercial buildings that have been awarded an environmental performance rating from Green Star, NABERS Energy and NABERS Water, with the current

results covering the last two years to December 2010. Dr Anthony De Francesco, Managing Director of IPD in Australia and New Zealand, said the results demonstrate a clear win for green investment. ‘The return spread between rated and non-rated buildings is around

400 basis points,’ he said. ‘In addition, rated office buildings have a lower capitalisation rate than non-rated buildings, in the order of 40 basis points. The outperformance in returns is consistent across various market segmentations. ‘As a whole the pool of rated NA-

BERS Energy assets outperformed the unrated assets. Interestingly, the 4-5 star rated properties outperformed the non-rated assets while the 0.5-3.5 star rated properties underperformed the non-rated assets. Also, these NABERS rated properties delivered lower capitalisation rates

than the non-rated properties, although only marginally.’ The Property Council of Australia/ IPD Green Property Investment Index currently represents about A$36 billion of office buildings, reflecting 71 per cent of the office assets in the IPD database.

Pulse of new housing too slow, says HIA rate the policy reforms necessary to reduce the costs of new housing. ‘In seasonally adjusted terms, in January 2011 the number of owner occupier loans for new housing fell by 8.4 per cent in New South Wales, 14.5 per cent in Victoria, 20.9 per cent in Queensland, 14.5 per cent in

Tasmania, 8.1 per cent in the Northern Territory, and 30 per cent in the Australian Capital Territory. ‘The number of loans for new housing increased by 1.7 per cent in South Australia in January 2011 and was up by 3.1 per cent in Western Australia.’

steady interest rate environment,’ Dr Dale said. ‘It is important the Reserve Bank maintains a clear message of stable rates. Housing, like the majority of non-resource sectors, is performing below par in 2011. ‘Even if it turns out there is a larger than usual amount of “noise� in this January update for housing finance, leading indicators have still been signalling for a long time now that new dwelling starts will decline once more in 2011. ‘That means there will have been only two years in the last ten (2002 and 2010) when starts have risen. ‘The long term trend decline in new home building in Australia is an appalling blight on the housing affordability landscape, especially for prospective entry level buyers (lending for which got off to a weak start in 2011) and renters.

The pulse of the new home building sector is running considerably slower than that required to meet the nation’s housing needs, claims the Housing Industry Association. ‘ABS figures [released last week] confirm the weak state of the new home building sector, providing a very soft update for the number of owner occupier loans for new housing,’ said HIA Chief Economist Dr Harley Dale. The number of loans for construction fell by 9.4 per cent in January 2011 to reach the lowest level since December 2008. Loans for the purchase of new dwellings dropped by 13.5 per cent in January 2011, which was also the weakest level since December 2008. Much of the improvement in new home lending seen in the December 2010 quarter has now been wiped out. ‘An unequivocally weak update on housing finance for January 2011 reinforces the appropriateness of a

And we liked this report on ABC North Coast online: ‘The Nationals’ MP Steve Cansdell [Clarence] drew the numberfour position. His main rival, independent Richie Williamson, drew the top spot. Mr Candell says it’s a scenario that reminds him of the movie I Am Number Four. “It’s about this John Smith from the planet Lorien and he’s on the run from all the Mogadorians who are trying to chase him,� he said. “So it just I suppose talks about this guy, a young protagonist who understands that his destiny was a much greater calling than just being who he was and we thought ‘well we’ll just put a bit of an analogy there with us,� Mr Cansdell said.’ Go Steve – a bit more Mogadorian action is just what this election needs.

There’s not a lot of good to be said for slaughtering chickens en masse in cramped conditions, nor for Inghams stonewalling us on the details of its purchase of Sunnybrand. If you want to eat chicken, buy it from a local, bona fide organic, freerange producer or the butchers they sell to. Better still, learn to kill the chicken yourself and understand more fully where your food comes from. Q Q Q Q

The Echo is under attack in a pink pamphlet titled ‘The Letter The Byron Shire Echo Refused To Print’. No, it’s not by Fast Buck$, but is an attack on Buck$ himself in his role as a landlord. We’re also accused of giving him carte blanche, which has never been the case. We decided not to print the letter because it’s defamatory, and the author did not want to be named. As we noted last week in Backlash, any tenants having a problem can get good advice from the Northern Rivers Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service (NRTAAS) on 6621 1022 or 1800 649 135. Q Q Q Q
