The push for local power

LESS IS MORE, MORE OR LESS

Singing it up for their supper

Ray Moynihan

A state government department is throwing its weight behind moves to produce more home grown green power in the region, as plans to import additional coal-fired electricity face ongoing question marks. The Department of Industry and Investment is funding a series of community-based projects to plan for the ‘transition to a low carbon economy’, with key workshops and forums in the coming weeks in Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads. Council figures show there’s already been a dramatic surge in local energy production in the past two years. While the total contribution remains small, there was a massive jump in the number of houses with solar panels in the Shire, from around 40 to over 700, producing a 2000 per cent increase in renewable energy fed into the grid, from less than 20 to over 400 megawatt hours.

Nimbin Solar Farm Last Thursday saw the launch of the Nimbin Community Solar Farm, a unique community-based federally funded collaboration which has created several new jobs and will generate enough energy to power over twenty homes. In Moree, further inland, conditional approval has just been granted for a new solar mega-farm, featuring 180, 000 solar panels across 160 hectares, powering more than 12, 000 homes. At the same time controversy is growing around long-standing plans for new high-voltage transmission lines that will bring additional electricity to meet growing demand in the northern rivers region. The state-owned Transgrid corporation wants to spend a quarter of a billion dollars building new lines that would run from west of Tenter-

field to Lismore, but the project’s being opposed by groups who’ve raised concerns about local environmental impacts and questioned whether it’s needed at all. Late last year an investigation by the national energy watchdog found that in its planning for the massive new project Transgrid had breached rules requiring it to assess alternative options, including renewable energy. A report by the watchdog – the Australian Energy Regulator – strongly criticised Transgrid, but decided not to purse legal action after the state-owned

corporation committed to more transparency and wider consultation. Following calls for public submissions on alternative options, and analysis of the resulting proposals, Transgrid says the new power lines remain the most effective way to meet ‘growing peak demand’ in the region. However, the Lismore-based Environmental Defender’s Office describes the $225 million project – designed to carry largely coal-fired electricity – as ‘dinosaur’ infrastructure which is unnecessary if demand can be reduced

MP Page scores Local Govt and North Coast cabinet positions

Mr O’Farrell said the key regional areas of NSW would finally be recognised in the new Cabinet, with other appointments being the Cencontinued on page 2 tral Coast (Chris Hartcher), Western

NSW (Kevin Humphries), Illawarra (Greg Pearce) and the Hunter (Mike Gallacher). He added that the Nationals have one fewer position – and the Liberals one extra position – in the Ministry based on the results of last Saturday’s election. He also scrapped the environment portfolio and added it to the Premier’s Department.

Fine blitz on the nose for parents Locals cop $200 parking fines for dropping off kids at school Hans Lovejoy

‘Gutless and rude,’ is what one mother says of the police officer who issued her a nostopping fine via police camera this week. The woman, who did not want to be identified, said she was dropping off her daughter at the Carlisle Street entrance to Byron Public School when she spotted a police car. ‘I knew something was up when he parked behind me. ‘He then followed me into town; I thought it was odd, so I pulled over, at which point he also pulled over. I then got out of the car to walk towards him but then he sped off. ‘After discovering my fine in the post it was obvious he was photographing parents who were dropping kids off. ‘It’s a disgrace and undermines all the good work the police do. This shouldn’t be allowed and they should find other means to collect revenue.’

Byron Shire Council executive manager of community infrastructure Phil Holloway told The Echo the ‘No Stopping’ signs in Carlyle Street have been in place for over a year. ‘Carlyle Street is a no through street. ‘The “No Stopping� signage is required to ensure parked vehicles do not block the narrow road for other users, which is especially required at busy times such as school pick up and drop off.’ Mr Holloway says that the existing signs are appropriate and, like all regulatory signage, require the approval of the Local Traffic Committee. ‘The Committee is an RTA requirement and includes the RTA along with Council staff, the local police and councillors. ‘If a person would like a traffic sign to be changed, a request needs to be submitted to Council which will then be tabled to the traffic committee who would then make a rec-

Flags and graffiti workshops for youth Â

continued from page 1

BUDDI (Byron Underage Drinking & Drug Initiative – Community Drug Action Team) is holding a flags and graffiti workshop on Saturday, April 9, 10am-4pm, at the Byron Youth Activities Centre. BUDDI team leader Nicqui Yazdi said, ‘We’ll all have an awesome free lunch and then in the afternoon young people will have the opportunity to create “friendship flagsâ€? or do some graffiti.’ This is a special event and is aimed at young people aged 12 to 24. \ The YAC (Byron Youth Activities Centre) is managed by Byron Youth Service and is located at 1 Gilmore Crescent, Byron Bay.

and local power generation options pursued more vigorously. Key alternative options include solar, wind and bio-energy, all of which face major challenges if they are to significantly help meet the energy demands of this growing region. For example, large scale solar farms on the coast face the problem of cloud cover, while a local bio-energy project recently went into receivership. As for wind, a Byron Shire Council assessment of the region’s renewable energy resources has found the wind is highly variable, and areas with acceptable speeds for power generation were often in na-

tional parks or on highly visible scenic ridges. ‘This suggests that the widescale deployment of wind turbines is unlikely to occur,’ says the Council report ‘although small pockets of land may support smaller wind turbines, whether privately owned or through a community share program.’ However the Council study identified solar power as having a ‘strong financial basis and an obvious choice for deployment due to its widespread and evenly distributed nature.’ Last year’s cuts to the ‘feed-in tariffs’ – the amount of money paid to people who produce home-grown energy – are

a major challenge for those pushing solar energy, and have created a delicate political issue for the incoming state government, keen to promote sustainable businesses. Greater energy efficiency will be the theme of a workshop at Byron Shire Council chambers tonight, Tuesday April 5, at 6pm, featuring tips for the public on how to ‘reduce your power bills and beat soaring energy costs.’ The workshop on energy efficiency comes as the NRMA says average families may have to spend an extra $2000 a year on petrol, if tensions in the Middle East continue to push up the price of oil.

ommendation to Council for determination.’ Mr Holloway said there are several established pick up zones around Byron Primary School. ‘The school is adjacent to four streets, all of which provide car parking and, as always, it is recommended that people read and comply with the signage,’ he said. The Echo understands that the $200 fines have also been issued to other parents of the school. ‘At peak pick up/drop off times the whole street can be a

grid locked mayhem of double parked cars,’ the woman says, ‘especially since the whole of Middleton Street and its parking has been closed off while the new library is being built. ‘On one occasion I found myself a traffic controller in order to free the traffic. ‘I’d like to see the police officer responsible for this try and dish out fines in this situation. ‘Parking and access to the school is a major problem, but I feel it’s unfair for local authorities to punish parents. ‘Anyone who’s driven down this street will see that there is plenty of room for cars to get by safely, if the line up of parents illegally waiting or stopping for their children were limited to the school side of the street. ‘I suggest an airport style “mum’s taxi rank� instead of the current “No Stopping zone� on the school side of the street which is clearly designed to raise revenue unfairly.’

Myocum tip fume update Health concerns ‘noted’ and monitoring installed In response to last week’s call by residents over toxic-gas fears, Council have installed a monitoring system for the flaring system at the Myocum landfill. Health concerns and alleged incidents of sick livestock have also been noted, according to Council’s waste manager, Russell Chaplin. The smell from the tip is decomposing organic matter, Mr Chaplin claims, that eventually produces a black liquid called leachate. ‘Leachate must be contained, collected and treated to ensure it does not enter groundwater, creeks or rivers.’ He said calls from the residents to ‘stop’ using the landfill would not solve residents’

concerns. ‘Organic matter breaks down over a long period of time. ‘The rate of decomposition depends on the type of waste in the landfill and environmental factors such as climate and rainfall. ‘Even with no more waste being placed into the landfill, the existing organic matter will continue to break down and potentially create odours,’ said Mr Chaplin.

Background The southern expansion landfill was constructed in 2007 to NSW government standards, Mr Chaplin claims, and includes a dual liner to prevent leachate entering the ground water system. The lifes-

pan of the facility was estimated to be five years. In October 2010 a variation to the development consent for the southern expansion was approved by Council. ‘The variation increased the final height of the landfill providing an additional 50,000 tonnes of disposal capacity, extending its life for an additional two and a half to three years. ‘The development application was on public exhibition for one month from mid July 2010. Letters were also sent to neighbouring properties advising of the proposed landfill expansion, say Council. One public submission was received against the landfill expansion, claim Council, with the main concern being the

odour from the site. The waste facility operates under an Environmental Protection Licence, says Mr Chaplin, which is issued by the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW). ‘Council has adopted a strategy of continuing to dispose of waste within the Shire and is working towards the development of a new landfill on the Myocum Quarry site. ‘As part of the landfill licensing process, Council is required to monitor the groundwater and reports on water quality on an annual basis to the EPA.’ The landfill is expected to reach capacity in 2014.

Ocean Shores community gardens finds a home Photo & story Eve Jeffery

A blossom of gardeners gathered at the Ocean Shores PreSchool last Saturday for the launch of the Ocean Shores community gardens. Its new home is on council land next to the school. On hand to get the launch underway was president of the Mullumbimby Community Gardens, Greg Dutton, and Sarah-Jane Potts, who runs Generation A, a youth program focused on permaculture practices and sustainable business mentoring. Mr Dutton officially opened the gardens which will be known as ‘Shara Gardens’ and Mayor Jan Barham welcomed everyone to the new garden and was the first member to join the new goup. She congratulated the northern Byron Shire residents for initiating

a community garden. Mayor Barham spoke about the value of these facilities and her commitment to supporting more of them in our region. ‘This project has been well designed and attracted a high level of support,’ she said. ‘Community gardens are a key sustainability initiative,

establishing a stronger sense of community and providing an understanding of food production and core environmental issues as well as fresh, local food.’ Mr Dutton said that the recent issue of supplies being cut by flooded roads brought home again the need for locally

‘home grown’ produce. ‘This garden is part of the growing swell to go hyper local to ensure food security,’ said Greg. ‘It is fantastic to see so many locals turn out for this day and support the garden and local food production.’ During the course of the afternoon, groups were formed from those present to workshop what they would like to see at Shara Gardens. The ideas that came out of the talks will be added to the current plans and vision. An eight-person steering committee was also elected, and will draft the steps to involve the community in gardening at the site starting this week. As part of the project, the Ocean Shores Public School will be involving their 340 children in various classes in planting and maintenance at the garden.

The much-loved Pass Cafe has managed to open its doors in time for Easter. It’s been closed for nearly two years; however, new owners Peter Sinclair and Dean Gibson told The Echo that it will now be open seven days a week as a cafe and takeaway kiosk. Out of the many who tendered for the enviably positioned venue, they believe they were successful because they tendered it the way owners Cape Byron Trust wanted it. ‘People were tendering it as a restaurant,’ Dean said, ‘but they wanted a kiosk and affordable cafe.’ Peter said that a lot of people had been stopping by the past few weeks wanting to know when it would open. ‘We’ll do breakfast and lunch and then in summer open for dinner as well,’ he said. ‘We’ll be open from sunrise to sunset – or surf ’s up to surf ’s down!’ The pair have designed a menu based as far as possible on lo-

‘We’re working closely with Cape Byron Trust and local Indigenous people, and we’ll have Indigenous art on the walls for sale – as well as surfing memorabilia. Cape Byron Trust have been fantastic to work with.’ Asked what possible point of difference they might be of-

Echo Community Awards – nominations needed This year The Echo celebrates 25 years. To celebrate, we will be holding a birthday celebration and awards night on June 18 at the Byron Community Centre. The Echo has previously given many awards to community members, but this year we’ve invited Bay FM and the Byron Community Centre as partners for the Community Awards Program. Byron Community Centre Director Paul Spooner says, ‘Recognising the hard work of members of our community is vital, as often those people who are the backbone of our town are rarely given the acknowledgment and gratitude they deserve. We are hoping this awards program will encourage even greater levels of community engagement.’ BayFM President Ros Elliott echoed Paul’s comments, ‘Generosity of spirit by so many people in so many facets

of our Shire creates such goodwill in our community and it enhances all of our lives. ‘BayFM’s 21 years of broadcasting is testament to that. ‘Honouring those people who go the extra mile is a way of not only thanking those individuals, but also everyone who contributes selflessly for a cause, an organisation, a group of people or for our precious Earth. So please nominate a person you believe contributes in such a way to enhance our communal life.’

Six categories Nominations run through until May 3. Individuals can be nominated in six categories: Going that extra mile as a volunteer, An inspirational young person, For battles as an Environmental Warrior, Fostering Multicultural community, An inspiring Elder, An inspiring and tireless coach or mentor. Voting forms are published

this week in The Echo and nominations for one or any number of categories can be emailed to awards@echo.net. au. There’s also a cutout nomination form in this week’s paper – simply fill it in and send it to ‘Echo Awards’ at the Byron Community Centre, PO Box 309, Byron 2481. You can also go into the Community Centre and post your nomination in the box provided. Leading up to The Echo Awards, nominees will be profiled on Bay FM and in The Echo. Voting will run from Tuesday May 3 up until June 5, and the winners announced at The Echo Awards on Saturday June 18. Winners not only receive trophies, but gift packages from the businesses who have kindly donated their services as prizes. Prizes include weekend for two at Beach Suites, Beach Hotel, Byron at Byron, Victoria’s at Ewingsdale, Apart-

ments Inn and accommodation for four at the Sirens guest house at Wategos. A spa package valued at $450 from Gaia Retreat & Spa, a float/massage from Kiva, and a meal prize from Why Not restaurant are also up for grabs.

Electric car silently breezes into town Story & photo Victoria Cosford on a charge the way it is – but

It’s just like a big electric slot car. In fact, inventor Chris Duffin told The Echo, the principles are the same. Chris has invented an electric car substantially different from the ones currently available. The chief stumbling block with electric cars is the battery; Chris’s prototype utilises a third of the batteries required by all other electric cars currently on the market. He uses a special lead acid battery much easier to charge than the lithium iron ones available – which are also more expensive. Essentially what Chris has done is a retro-fit or conversion of a standard ute, installing a mere eight batteries and a voltage of 96. ‘I can take it up to 144 voltage if I put in more batteries,’ he told The Echo. ‘It’ll do about 60 kilometres

after my next step, installing some more technology, I’ll do about 100 kilometres.’ Chris – who describes himself as a third-generation designing engineer – is director of the ‘green’ company Gamma Power International, an R&D outfit formed in 2003. Involved in the company is local Michael Sherington, who told The Echo that what basically Chris had done was use known technology that is available combined with his special circuit design. ‘The key to this is retro-fitting an existing car – so you don’t have to build it from the ground up. That’s the beauty of it. You can just plug it into an everyday domestic power point. It costs a tenth of a standard electric vehicle.’ Lithium iron costs around $25,000 and Chris’s lead acid batteries cost around $2500. That’s why electric cars are

so expensive! Chris said that he can recharge the car in about one to one and 1/2 hours. ‘My charging system is new technology, it hasn’t been thought of before.’ He is thinking about starting up a conversion place in Byron Bay. The car has been fitted out

with standard safety features and has been registered. ‘It went straight through,’ said Chris. When you open the bonnet there is a gaping hole where the engine normally is. ‘It’s where we have to go,’ says Chris. ‘That’s the key – and it just drives like a car!’

Bayside@Byron celebrates a century Victoria Cosford

Bayside@Byron nursing home recently celebrated a century of RSL LifeCare, with dignitaries, local schools and military bands in attendance. RSL LifeCare is one of the largest retirement-living residential care and community care services in the southern hemsiphere. It began in October 1911 as a result of a group of people who had formed a com-

mittee to organise a home for ageing ex-soldiers of the British Empire living in poverty, and was originally located in Botany Bay. The actual nursing home at Byron Bay opened in 1983, the first of its kind in the area. In the 1990s its name was changed to Pinehaven Aged Care, then in 2007 Ex-Services Home Ballina, undergoing an amalgamation with RSL LifeCare, took over ownership. Following the

amalgamation the name was changed to its current one. Before opening proceedings, General Manager for RSL LifeCare Matthew Ashby told The Echo that it was a fantastic day for the organisation. ‘Particularly here in Byron Bay with all the school children, Xavier College Band and Byron Public School.’ Nearly 200 people gathered outside to listen to Director of RSL LifeCare Bob Crosthwaite OAM address the crowd. He

thanked the special dignitaries, who included Byron Shire’s Deputy Mayor Patrick Morrissey and Cr Ross Tucker. The centenary of RSL LifeCare coincides with a major redevelopment of the nursing home at Bayside@Byron to a modern state-of-the-art facility. Also planned is a new retirement living village to be constructed next to the nursing home.

Community garden for Youth Activities Centre Victoria Cosford

A community garden at Byron Youth Activity Centre (YAC) is up and running, thanks to community and business participation. Mark Thompson, from Newtrain National Green Jobs Corps, has been busily creating vegetable and herb gardens

6 April 5, 2011 The Byron Shire Echo

with a group of his students, while landscape architect James Nash volunteered his time to draw up a plan. Byron Herb Nursery has also contributed herbs. Fundraising and events co-ordinator Stephanie Sims told The Echo that there was already a vegetable garden in the grounds, ‘but we needed to up the ante a bit.

<echowebsection=Local News>

Then these boys (from Newtrain) came along, and I wanted to expand. Eventually I want native trees planted all around as well.’ LeisureScapes, Bunnings from Ballina, TURSA and Northern Rivers FoodLinks are all offering goods or services as well. Stephanie is hoping that in a few months’ time a perma-

culture course will be offered at the Centre. ‘There are lots of possibilities,’ she said. The community garden – planted so far with lettuce, beetroot, potatoes and capsicum, onions, spinach, passionfruit, basil, lavender and silverbeet – will be a timely complement to the new kitchen for which work is expected to begin mid April.

Housing those in need – the Byron Bay Youth House Hans Lovejoy

Kerrie Stewart is the co-ordinator for the Byron Bay Youth House (BBYH), and gave The Echo an insight into the services available in our Shire to society’s most vulnerable – young homeless people. The BBYH has an Exit House Accommodation Program, says Ms Stewart, that consists of three properties that are available for disadvantaged youth in Byron Shire. ‘The properties are provided to the BBYH by North Coast Community Housing (NCCHC). ‘NCCHC provides longterm social housing for people with special needs and residents with low and moderate incomes in the far North Coast region. Mick Williams is the co-ordinator of the Exit House Program. ‘We currently have three young people residing at the BBYH, and are in the procees of completing intakes and assessments to fill the two vacant beds. ‘We currently have a waiting list of approximately six and expect to fill those vacancies next week. ‘As there are limited crisis services, sometimes the young person may have to leave their local area. This can cause increased stress; however, once

the young person is in a stable service they can work with that service in finding more long term accommodation back in the young person’s area.’ Ms Stewart says the only Crisis Accommodation Services in Northern NSW are in Byron Bay (Byron Bay Youth House), Armidale, Tamworth, Taree, Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour. Funding is provided by the Department of Community Services.

Long wait for public housing ‘There are limited alternative accommodation options for homeless young people, and homeless assistance services in Australia cannot meet the demand for accommodation. ‘Most of the people turned away from services every day are under 20. Young people also have difficulty securing long-term accommodation and are particularly affected by poverty and the shortage of affordable housing in Australia. ‘Furthermore, the level of Youth Allowance payments makes it difficult for independent young people to meet the basic costs of living. ‘Young people face a long wait for public housing and often experience discrimination in trying to access the private rental market.

Backyard blitz crew wanted The Byron Bay Youth House (BBYH) provides disadvantaged and homeless youth in Byron with safe accommodation, and co-ordinator Kerrie Stewart is asking for community involvement in a back yard blitz project for its three properties. ‘The BBYH wants to implement a project that will assist in beautifying our properties,’ she says, ‘while at the same time teach young people valuable property and garden maintenance skills. ‘In 2006, a generous member of the community donated a new lawnmower which we share between the properties; we do our best to keep the lawns mowed and the basic gardens maintained. ‘Unfortunately we do not have a budget for plants and landscaping materials to beautify the properties so we are looking for donations of these things and voluntary help in doing our own back yard blitz. ‘If there are any skilled gardeners or budding Jamie Durys out there with a social conscience, or people with plants or materials they would be willing to donate, please call us on 6685 7264.’ The website can be found at www.byronbayyouthhouse.org.

We are a crisis accommodation service, but in the past we have had young people engaged and participating in education completing their HSC and we have continued to provide assistance and support whist they are completing their education. The BBYH service system works on prevention, crisis accommodation and support. ‘We believe that responding effectively to homelessness to ensure that people who are

Holding your line: a conversation on parenting teens Mandy Nolan

When my teenage daughter goes to a party I always phone the parents to verify the arrangements. I then do an informal check ensuring that their parenting values are similar to mine and that my daughter will be safe. Without fail the parent has thanked me for calling and then says: ‘you know you’re the only parent who’s rung.’ It always shocks me. It makes me question my parenting techniques; am I too over-protective? Is calling people embarrassing for my daughter? Does it actually make any difference to the outcome, meaning if the kids have smuggled in alcohol, will my parental interrogations stop my daughter from getting smashed? Psychologist Sue Gould believes that ‘good supervision is the cornerstone of effective parenting. You need to know where they are and what they are doing as much as possible. You need to understand you don’t have control over them, and you can’t control what they do, but you can present your values and they will use those as a guide.’ When it comes to parenting adolescents there are no rule books. While conversation and support is readily available for challenges in early childhood

through community agencies, mother’s groups and other care providers, when it comes to developing parental strategies for parents of teens the conversation stops. Jennifer is the mother of 14-yearold Lizzie, an intelligent and headstrong girl who has not only settled into a permanent relationship with her 18-year-old boyfriend; she’s also making plans to leave school.

night. Not five past. Don’t fudge it. If you do you start blurring the edges that actually becomes confusing for young people.’ Ms Gould believes that it’s our lack of confidence and role confusion that hinders our parental effectiveness. ‘Most parents don’t realise that they actually have a huge amount of power. You can exercise it – kids want you to do that. Kids don’t actually want their parents to be wishy washy and undecisive. They want to know what their values and beliefs are. ‘Of course they may react against them, but that’s no reason not to establish them. ‘A lot of parents try to be buddies. Kids don’t need more friends; they need a parent that can give them another chance, that they can lean on. ‘Parents need to realise that when you are learning to be a grown-up you are going to make mistakes. Clearly they won’t get everything right the first time.’

Remember back in ‘ye olden’ days when $100 notes were not so rare! Think about it.... when was the last time you had one in your wallet? While the $100 note (or technicolour fun pass) has been slowly re-appearing, the likely location of secret stock piles might just be under your mattress! My guess is those with long memories & others spooked during the depths of financial pessimism, have hoarded the notes ‘just in case’. That period caused many to question the usually unquestionable statement ‘You can take that to the bank’. Enter the Federal Government deposit guarantee in Nov ‘08 which effectively sent waves of cash flowing into bank accounts. This leads me to the ‘Great Transaction Account Apathy’ and as such, your bank is laughing all the way to... er the bank. As a reward for placing your trust and hard earned income into your account, most banks pay an insulting interest rate of 0.01% pa and may even charge you a nice account keeping fee to boot. There are options out there that may surprise you! What if a major bank offered you a full service transaction account with a cheque book, visa debit card, internet banking, EFTPOS purchases/withdrawals with NO account keeping fee AND pay you 455 times the average savings account interest rate, or in simpler terms 4.55% pa (current rate). Such accounts areavailable, they are just not advertised. Surprising isn’t it!

A social forum themed ‘Are we failing our kids?’ will be on Thursday April 28 at the Byron Community Centre, from 7pm. It’s a chance for panelists and audience members to engage in robust conversation about the challenges that face parents, care providers and the community.

All the foundations of the final agreement were laid down with this in mind. White Australia, tariff protection, the links with Britain and industrial arbitration – all had the ideal of full employment at their core. It was the first duty of the state to provide work for its citizens; if it was unable to do so, it had a moral obligation to take care of those whom it failed. And full employment meant full employment; as late as 1972 Gough Whitlam could campaign on a platform which insisted an official unemployment rate of just 1.5 per cent was unacceptably high. These days the accepted wisdom is that a rate of five per cent indicates, for all practical purposes, full employment. And the current figure is just 4.9 per cent. So what are we getting so excited about? Well, partly because that figure represents the percentage of the

he Greeks had a saying that those whom the gods seek to destroy, they first make mad. But with New South Wales Labor, they went the other way: first destroying the party, then sending the remnants round the twist. Installing (let’s face it, he wasn’t really elected) John Robertson as leader is surely a sign of terminal dementia. He is, of course, deeply divisive within the party itself, but that’s the least of it. Robertson, as a leading figure in the destruction of a Labor premier, has become the public symbol of what made the party an abomination. It doesn’t matter whether he was right or wrong about electricity privatisation or whether he was reflecting the will of the party’s conference or even of the public at large. What matters is that he was a shadowy union warlord who overthrew the elected head of government. End of story. He could be a wonderful, sharing, caring person, fond of animals and children and a model of public and political rectitude; he could be a combination of Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela, soldier, scholar, statesman and philosopher king. But he is Sussex Street’s candidate, and that makes him rat poison. He will, of course, never become premier; but until he and all his works are wiped from the face of the earth, Labor will not be electable in New South Wales. And the 2023 election should be a possibility. Not a moment to lose.

that’s a lot of foregone revenue before you even start paying benefits. On top of that there are about 800,000 on the disability pension, many of whom would be happy to take at least part-time jobs. So yes, there is a problem. But there is no obvious solution, because there are few if any jobs available. There is certainly a serious shortage of skilled labour, but the people we’re talking about aren’t skilled. And there are employers looking for unskilled or semi-skilled workers, but they don’t want either the old (probably a bit past it) or the young (inexperienced and unreliable), let alone the disabled. And they particularly don’t want unwilling workers thrust on them under Abbott’s various plans. Just as the army welcomes willing volunteers but hates the idea of conscripts, civilian employers would far rather pick up enthusiastic backpackers who want to make as many quick dollars as possible than reluctant layabouts

who will do as little as they can get away with. Abbott’s policy is basically an attempt to jam square pegs into round holes because it makes him look tough and macho. We can only hope Gillard does not attempt to outmuscle him next month.

What’s to be done about Myocum tip? Q Recent articles and media regarding the Myocum tip are proof that ‘all’s not so green’ when it comes to Byron Council. In fact Council’s lack of knowledge regarding the toxic smell that comes from the tip proves when it comes to Council, a greenish veneer is what you get. Council have no idea how to manage the waste at Myocum Tip, they have no idea what the smell is, and they have no idea how to address the problem. Russell Chaplin who manages the waste facility at Myocum for Council is in damage mode and looking for another cheap bandaid that Council can throw at it. This tip is a disgrace and should be closed until the problem is solved. Local residents deserve better that the dribble that Council is giving us as a solution in fact The Echo should get behind residents to demand that the facts are investigated by Byron Council. For the future Byron Council needs to do more than change a few light bulbs in the office before they can claim any green credentials. Looking at the way Council manages infrastructure in this Shire (Queensland’s flood damage will be repaired before Byron council fixes the Lighthouse Road debacle), and its stewardship in converting Byron Bay from a coastal holiday venue to a under 30s nightclub, the only green at Council is mould.

Vince Sherry

Myocum Q Residents near the Myocum Rubbish Dump live in fear and continue to fall ill as Myocum Rubbish Dump gases carpet over their neighbourhood

and into their homes, gases reported by Council to media as ‘non poisonous fumes’. The alleged ‘non poisonous fumes’ – with characteristic ‘takes my breath away’ abhorrent chemical-cocktail smell – leave local residents coughing, some gasping for air, itchy skin, headaches, shortness of breath, lethargy and more, as the alleged ‘non poisonous fumes’ carpet-bomb the neigbourhood, enter into homes and hit with such ‘shock and awe’ that it even wakes residents up at night. Residents are not on town water either. When rain washes their rooftops clean and fills the tanks that they drink from, what contaminants are they drinking? This is a plea for help. Is safe clean air to breath and safe clean water to drink too much for anyone to ask for? So what is it that we are really breathing in? By nature, rubbish dumps generate methane, an odourless gas lighter than air. Hydrogen sulphide, deadly to health, powerful smell and add that to other deadly smelly gases generated from the dump, let it roam in the air we breath at our homes and the health impacts are not rocket science. Yes, we feel for the tip workers too. Are our state landfill authorities following in the footsteps of Victoria where in 2009? The Ombudsman reports, ‘how is it that an estate came to be built alongside a burial site for more than a million tonnes of rotting waste?’ On March 25 this year those residents were offered compensation. The Ombudsman found the state’s EPA had failed to do its job and the local council was also blamed for failing to act quickly enough to

stop the gas from escaping. No one here is talking about compensation. This is not a finger pointing/blame game exercise, this is a plea for help. All we ask for is clean safe air to breath and clean safe water to drink – just basic human rights. Ed Szlezak

Myocum Q The latest green policies make real sense: clear felling around Burringbar to harvest camphor laurel for biomass power generation and council’s plans to install a flare at the tip to burn off the gases rather than making better use of this free energy. Instead council promotes the installation of more energy-saving bulbs – great‌ very thorough, not! Just my opinion. I think, even if the tip has a limited life span, one could install a small power generator in a shipping container, or a platform movable by a truck, and harvest the energy‌

Juergen Klein

Mullumbimby The Myocum Landfill story last week wasn’t the full picture. Our community are not complaining about an ordinary tip smell‌ this is something quite different. Since late last year residents’ concern has been growing because the fumes (not a smell or odour, more a toxic fume) have increased dramatically. As it became unbearable, residents approached Council, others phoned and emailed. Council have not responded to anything written, except for a standard ‘we have received your correspondence’ letter and

nothing to follow. We need to know what are the fumes we are breathing! The DECCW (Dept of Environment Climate Change and Water) said that on the day they visited, no fumes were detected. But the fumes can be there for as little as five minutes or several hours and are like burning diesel. You know it is bad when it reaches your nose. With the pressure on, Council have made attempts to suppress it over the last week, but it is still there, just not as strong. Residents have been experiencing headaches, itchy skin, sore eyes and sleepless nights. We are all living inside houses with the windows closed. Do you think you could live with an acrid pungent burning type of odour in the air? Is this happening in the Byron Shire? Also we are all on tank or bore water – another worry. The response from both Council and the DECCW has been very slow and non communicative. We asked DECCW for an independent 24 hour monitoring system to tell us what it is. Waiting for a reply! Finally this week Council announced they are putting in flare equipment to deal with the problem. However, if they don’t know what the gases are, how can they be sure the equipment they are buying will be adequate? There is a chance it could be more dangerous. If we have to wait till the end of April for it to be installed, what are we enduring in the meantime? Are we getting the best solution to the problem or just a bandaid solution that Council can afford? This is a serious issue and we feel we have been kept in the dark. Anyone who has the experience to offer assistance please be in touch. Suzie Mylecharane

COLOURS

OF BYRON PHOTO COMPETITION

CELEBRATING THE PERVERSITY, DIVERSITY AND SUBVERSITY OF BYRON SHIRE

The COLOURS OF BYRON is part of the paper’s 25th anniversary festivities. You can send your photos or short videos celebrating the diversity of the faces of Byron to photocomp@echo.net.au and entries will be uploaded to our website. There are three categories: 5–10 years old, 10–15 years old and over 15 years old. Entries close June 3. All entries will be displayed at the Echo Awards Night in June, where the best entry in each category will also be announced and prizes awarded.

In response to Cr Morrisey’s rant (‘Council divided over sports field’) about the Greens’ ‘conspiratorial reasons’ for supporting the development of the sportfields and trying to get a cycling track included, the ‘special interest group’ that I am ‘captured by’ is called, wait for it – the community. It is the wide community of sporting and recreational groups, mums and dads, kids, serious athletes and those wishing to have a bit of healthy fun. I am proud to support the needs of residents trying to join groups, get exercise and

share time with family and friends. This is also why I am advocating for the Bangalow pool, sportsfields in the north, cycleways across the Shire and these wonderful assets for our whole community soon to open. Rather than being an ‘elite’ cycling track, this would be a great acquisition for our open spaces – open for joggers and walkers, rollerbladers, cyclists wanting to get off the roads and other users. When someone unaware of the voting realities within Council incorrectly talks of

one voting bloc called ‘The Greens’ it is excusable; when you start to do it, it is silly, undergraduate politics. The support of this project is not a Green conspiracy, Patrick, this project has been an incredibly rare thing: a project with near total Councillor support. This project has always been supported by Ross Tucker and Jan Barham; in fact, by all Councillors, including you – except for Basil Cameron who has never supported it. I can’t wait to kick the footy on the oval, attend a festival at the site and I may even dust

off the bike and ride around the cycling track. It seems the only thing that is ‘elite’, Patrick, is your new, holier-thanthou attitude to sport and recreation. I am a great supporter of the arts and creativity, of our natural surroundings, of community building and, yes, I love sport. That doesn’t make me prey to special interests, it makes me more than one-dimensional, and a representative of the wider community.

Affordable housing: my solution

STP for Mullum and Bruns, then spent $39 million on building it. The new STP is now fully commissioned and functioning as designed, but I am informed that at the next meeting Council may resolve to postpone lifting the moratorium until, rumour has it, maybe even August. Council borrowed $31 million to build the STP and is paying about $1.8 million of ratepayers’ money each year in bank interest alone, so such a decision would not be helping to fix the current condition of insolvency either. If this rumour is true, then our Councillors have been giving a lot of lip service to supporting affordable housing, but when it comes to doing their part to make it happen, their actions will speak louder than their words. Let’s hope the rumour is wrong and they resolve to lift the moratorium at the meeting on April 14.

residents had planted and had been tending along the nature strip. When I tried to remonstrate with the site manager he told me that ‘it was all part of the DA’ and ‘they’re not fruit trees?’ I was about to question his credentials but thought better of it – his ute was bigger than mine – and instead arm myself with the power of Byron Shire Council. The Council is a toothless tiger – discuss. I was actually heartened when I walked into the chambers to be greeted by a wall of brochures advocating all sorts of worthwhile things like ‘Food on Public Land’, ‘Saving Food Miles’, ‘Sustainable Street’, etc. But, of course nothing could be done. Fruit trees are not covered under

the Council’s tree preservation orders! Yes, a DA for the work had indeed been granted and the developer owned the nature strip (right up to the road edge). Example two. Woolworths. I don’t have to say any more. Oh, just one tiny thing. I know they have a permit to ‘work on the roundabout’ 24 hours a day seven days a week (as their supervisor told me smilingly) but could they please provide the local residents and patrons of Milk & Honey with earmuffs when they next decide to start concrete cutting at 7 o’clock at night? Is it worth maintaining the rage? I sometimes wonder.

Although many in the Shire are trying to figure out how to make affordable housing a reality, it is worth first considering what the definition of the phrase is. My understanding is that, to be affordable, a block of land plus a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home needs to be available to buy at somewhere in the range of $300,000–390,000. When the house is cheaper to buy, it can also be rented by its owner for less per week, so the purchase price is important for both purchasers and renters. Try to find a house to buy in the Shire at that price – it’s still not happening. In an effort to do something about this, I have re-designed Stage Two at Tallowood Ridge to create ‘house and land packages’ that fit into this price bracket. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that home builders have dropped their prices dramatically in an effort to meet this need. Further savings are being achieved from the home builders by ‘bulk purchase’ by the developer instead of families negotiating, each on their own. As a result, we will be offering a range of house and land packages in the coming weeks that are under $390,000 and some as low as $330,000. So is there anything that will stop us from making this happen? Well, yes, there is: a small number of the affordable house and land packages described above will be available for occupancy in June this year, but we really get started on affordable housing in Stage Two, which will need connection to Council’s sewer system to happen. Council took 12 years to get around to approving the new

Maintaining the rage

Is it worth it – aspiring to be more rather than to have more when you know that the haves are getting richer and your life is getting poorer and there doesn’t seem to be a damn thing you can do about it? It used to make me angry, but now I just feel tired and teary. Example one. A couple of weeks ago the developers of the Tallowood site decided it was time to ‘landscape’ the Tuckeroo Avenue (ie tart it up to make it more appealing for prospective buyers). The trouble is, in the process, they dug up the established mango, lychee and poinciana trees that the local

We are not amused that someone decides to deface a photo of Osho and put it in the classifieds. Why would someone do such a thing? Maybe a childish prank or perhaps a hidden agenda. What I love about The Echo is its commitment to report positive stories and stay away from the negative. But then finding out that the defaced photo of Osho with negative words attached was published by two of the Echo’s writers makes me wonder how positive the paper really is. It seems to be an underhand Paritosho Rowe and immature way of going Burringbar about expressing what is really on their minds – come on, Q I am sure Osho himself guys, let’s get honest here. Veet Karen would be very happy to know (one very happy and proud that he is still causing a stir in disciple of Osho) our community. Mullumbimby I, however, am not so happy We have often enjoyed zany Echo humour. However, we were really disappointed to see a caricature of the great buddha Osho placed in the Only Adult section in last week’s Echo. Osho is a master of meditation and life. He has given us profound insights into the human condition. Your disrespect of this man shows that life truly is a pendulum with hostile ‘humour’ being at the opposite end from the love and respect that Osho taught and showered on humanity.

Some respect for Mullum, please WW Woolworths lost a further legion of potential customers last week in Mullumbimby. Picture a balmy, tranquil autumn evening, Friday, end of the working week. As people gathered for a relaxing outdoor meal at Milk & Honey, the peace of this country town was shattered by earsplitting noise. A gang of workers began using a concrete saw on the part-built roundabout a few metres away. Despite a rule that such cacophonous work is forbidden after 6pm they continued, claiming the work was allowed because it was ‘roadworks’. Maybe on the highway, but in a residential area? Complaints were dis-

missed with an abrupt ‘We’ll be finished in 20 minutes.’ The outrageously rackety work did not stop until 7.15pm. The graceful trees, which for decades have provided Mullumbimby with its signature entrance, are traumatised. Overwhelmed by concrete and dust, the beautiful trees look defeated, moribund. Woolworths has abided by the letter but not the spirit of its undertaking to preserve these trees. The company’s dismissive attitude to the trees’ health matches its arrogant contempt for the people and small businesses of Mullumbimby who have been compelled to endure months of disruption, traffic diver-

sions and congestion, obscene levels of noise and dust, and life behind wire cages. All so that Woolworths can inflict its stale, boring produce on a town that enjoys its own fresh food sourced locally and supports local businesses. Woolworths’ self-important disregard for people’s comfort and livelihood has unleashed renewed hostility to its plans. Many previously impartial towards the company are now openly angry. Mullumbimby does not need Woolworths; Woolworths, according to some dull-witted corporate strategist, needs Mullumbimby, not now or even tomorrow but in the future when current prophecies

of demographic trends might bear fruit. Had Woolworths shown a modicum of respect for the Mullumbimby community, instead of trampling over the town like an invading horde of vandals, it might have avoided causing deepening alienation. Instead there is mounting illwill and a sincere wish for its aspirations to fail. There is one dependable way to hurt armour-plated corporate ego: through the wallet. There are ample alternative shopping outlets and no divine command to support Woolworths’ shares.

I have been twenty years in local hospitals as a doctor. The debate over the new hospital is warming again. The confusion arises over the word ‘bed’ as if we did not have enough ‘beds’. There are plenty of beds, more than we need currently, but not enough nurses to care for those in the beds. We have graduated enough nurses recently, but the NSW Health Department chooses not to employ more. Recurrent funding, staff, wages are continually shrunk in favour of infrastructure, new computers and acquisitions from distant corporations. Those nurses who do work currently are frequently in their fifties and still asked to do weird, exhausting shifts with 15 per cent loading only for night duty. We don’t really need a new hospital! We could upgrade Mullumbimby, with its foundation adequate for three stories. We could retain Byron Hospital, so wonderfully close to the tourist centre. Ambulance officers

would be freed up by the simple expedient of allowing them and their expensive vehicles to drop patients at the hospital and move on, not sit waiting for one to fifteen hours (as in Sydney) until a doctor assumes care. When NSW Health values staff as much as building and politicians reality as much as motherhood promises, we may get the staff retention and patient care we can easily achieve. Dr Liz Elliott

Mullumbimby The new federal and state funded Lismore Cancer Care and Haematology Unit is up and limping. It has state of the art equipment for patient treatment and numerous treatment spaces but a shortage of nursing staff means the unit is not operating at optimum capacity. Available nursing staff offer maximum patient care but there aren’t enough staff to treat all of the patients needing chemotherapy and haematology treatment in the most timely manner when timely Q

treatment is critical. Direct consequences to patients include longer wait times for appointments. Sometimes patients have to wait hours for scheduled treatment or even worse have their treatment postponed until it can be rescheduled. There are also instances of patients needing blood transfusions having to be admitted to Lismore Base Hospital (at great cost to the system and stress for the patient) instead of being taken care of in the new Cancer Care Unit (easier on the patient, cheaper for the Hospital) due to lack of nursing staff to take care of these patients. Another consequence of the staff shortage is that the donated lung function machine is not operating because there was no funding for a person to operate it. This means patients have to go to the Gold Coast for monitoring. My understanding is that all these problems are due to a lack of funds to employ adequate staff to operate the available facilities. We are being shortchanged up here.

Letters A camp suggestion

Let’s face it, homeless people are refugees. Let us house them in refugee camps. Sounds grim but they are not meant to be permanent and there is no reason for them to be grim. If designed creatively they could be a joyful experience, (like Woodford), seats of learning and foundations from which to build happy lives. Designed for mobility and flexibility these camps could alleviate labour shortages or re-afforest the Murray-Darling basin. With the miniaturised electronics available today they could be highly co-ordinated and motivated. Low tech and hi tech. The only constraint is our mind set locked in the dominant paradigm, or should I say pyramid? To solve a paradox one must explore outside the box – take a meta-view. Jim Nutter

Electric works!

Last week’s Backlash lamented the range of electric vehicles. The average vehicle trip distance is less than 20 km and lithium battery cars can cope with well over 100 km. So for most of us we will only occasionally need to hire a petrol vehicle for any longer journey. The cost will be easily covered by the saving from the low running cost of an electric car. Please let’s not buy into petrol-headedness and we will keep a planet worth seeing. Sapoty Brook

Biofuels challenged

I would like to challenge biofuels as a feel-good solution to climate change as claimed by The Echo (March 22, p49). In keeping ‘our cars on the road and planes in the sky’, as CSIRO’s Dr Wonhas states, biofuels are really another deceptive strategy for business as usual. The idea of agricultural waste as a feedstock for such fuels is a misnomer. In a healthy agricultural system all crop residues are returned to the soil. Exporting such materials offsite breaks the ecological loop

Mungo’s columns under the microscope Q In Mungo MacCallum’s opin-

ion piece ‘Abbott embraces the howling mob’ last week he segues to a short post mortem on the results of the NSW elections wherein he notes that the only way for renewal within the Labor party to begin is for the removal of all those responsible for its catastrophic demise, a sentiment that goes without saying. But then, as others have been saying these last few days, he makes the astonishing assertion that Kristina Keneally is ‘just about the only person to have emerged from the debacle with any honour or credibility.’ Some within the Labor party are assuming that she has moved to the backbench as a transition to federal politics. What is it about Keneally that people seem to be blinded to her culpability in the destruction of any remaining principle that the Labor party might have had before she became planning minister and then premier? She, more than anyone else, was responsible for the blight on Sydney that will be Barangaroo. This project will and undermines agricultural sustainability. Returning organic matter to soils is actually the premier method of carbon sequestration and storage. Forget clean coal, Australia’s agricultural soils have the capacity to sequester all our greenhouse gases. With a slight increase in organic matter, each hectare of agricultural soil could sequester 1.1 tonnes of organic carbon per year, allowing Australia to attain carbon neutral status. Applied globally, agricultural soils have the capacity to mitigate all our greenhouse gases. Ongoing studies in NSW have demonstrated how ecological farming methods (low input, low till) can sequester 33 tonnes of carbon per hectare per year over a ten year period. Increased levels of soil carbon also increase farm productivity, water retention and drought resilience, reduce erosion and need for synthetic inputs.

stand out as an edifice among many that will reinforce the perception that political favours were for sale to the highest bidder in NSW. She had control of this project as planning minister and later as premier when she assumed ministerial control of it. And she presided over what can only be described as the corrupt process of the sale of electricity assets for a fraction of what they were deemed to be worth and then prorogued parliament to thwart any examination of the transaction. Again, the perception is that the party, recognising that its days in power were numbered, did not want to leave the incoming Liberal party with a massive war chest with which it would be better able to fix the mess that the Labor government left behind, so it sold off the assets which, after allowing for all sorts of costs and liabilities, would leave the state with nothing to show for it. Keneally, like the Obeids, Tripodis, Bitars, Arbibs, and the Roozendaals, is equally responsible for the principle-free zone that the Labor party has beWhat’s the priority? Cars, planes and business as usual? Or a truly sustainable agriculture that can avert a global food crisis and mitigate climate change? Andrew Carter

The Pocket

Upcoming extinction

Apparently Australians are becoming more sceptical about global warming. Surprise, surprise! As long as politicians deliver the climate change message, the earth has a problem. Julia Gillard hands out core promises like a madam distributing condoms, disposable commodities that leave everybody feeling happy and secure until they break. Tony Abbott, a self-serving opportunist, jumps from denial to acceptance to evasion of the issue in the space of one week. Trusting Tony on climate change would be like trusting a locust with a box of AllBran. Pollies are not the only ones

come in NSW. Her – and their – motives had nothing to do with advancing the welfare of the state but rather with shoring up her own personal position and that of the party. Honour and credibility will not feature in her legacy to this state. Daniel Saks

Goonengerry Q This is a response to Mungo MacCallum on his column for March 22. It’s very disappointing to read your views on the military intervention in Aboriginal communities of the NT and northern Queensland. I didn’t think you, as a critical thinker, would have been sucked into the propaganda surrounding the introduction of ‘martial law’ on Aboriginal land, and I find it shocking that you are promoting a mythology that actively denigrates and stigmatises young Aboriginal men. This is a time for reconciling injustice, not perpetuating it. Alcoholism isn’t racist, it impacts throughout our society and we are not managing this problem very well. A re-

to blame for the situation. Scientists who are experts in the field of ‘Securing Research Grants’ are equally at fault. Nuclear scientists for example, who continue to insist their product is safe, are reminiscent of the tobacco lobby scientists of the sixties, experts who insisted cigarettes were safe despite the Marlboro Man’s horse having just died from passive smoking. In the top half of the country we can’t even hear the crop scientists express their fears over climate change because of Cane Toads consummating on the Colorbond. Perhaps the climate change message would have been easier to sell had leaders in all fields focused on the obvious manmade polluting effects on cities. Why do our cities have to go the way of Beijing for example, a shithole where Olympic athletes needed oxygen just to sign autographs? Climate change, or the proposition of what might happen when we’re dead be-

cent study indicated a cost to the Australian people of 36 billion dollars a year. Its consumption is linked directly to abuse, assault and ‘mental disorders’. Maybe we should get the American army in to close down the local alcohol suppliers in the Northern Rivers for our own good. I wonder then where your ‘lust for grog’ would lead you, Mungo? Child abuse is endemic to the mainstream culture that has invaded this country. You don’t have to look very hard at the history of English society and Australian governmentsanctioned abuses to see that. In recent times politicians, judges, and clergy have also been proven to be paedophiles and child abusers, sick individuals masquerading as ‘respectable’ community leaders – truly barbaric. Indeed many instances of child abuse in Aboriginal communities reported prior to the military ‘intervention’ were perpetuated by non-indigenous workers in positions of power in these communities – but that’s not the story the media wanted to tell.

I am a non-indigenous first generation Australian born to a family of English boat people. Over the past thirteen years I have also become a part of an Aboriginal family through my wife, children, and grandchildren and through many local Bundjalung people, Elders and custodians. Over this period I have also variously studied and worked at Gnibi (formerly the College of Indigenous Australian Peoples) at SCU Lismore. From my experience, looking after and respecting children is a seminal element of Aboriginal cultures, and one that is fundamental in understanding the balance and stability of Aboriginal society through millennia. The control of Aboriginal lands and ongoing repression of Aboriginal peoples is about big business interests and not social welfare. The irony of this is that mining uranium and dumping nuclear waste in Aboriginal land represents an abuse of children for generations to come.

cause of some invisible demon lurking in the stratosphere, was always going to be a tough sell. If we keep the conversation grounded maybe the sceptics will come on board once they’ve had a chance to get over the devastating effects of Y2K!

on council footpaths, drive on council roads? Of course they do, and they sit at tables in the parks, use public toilets and benefit from street lights and so on. I propose that all renters pay a nominal weekly fee to council for the privilege of living in Byron Bay, say $100 per week. I propose that council construct checkpoints at all entrances to the Shire and that visitors are fitted with an electronic bracelet that records the time spent here, and that they pay, let’s say $2 per hour, for the privilege of visiting Byron. The fee must be paid when they leave. What if people can’t afford it you might ask? Bludgers with no money are free to go elsewhere and I can assure you we’ll get by nicely without them. In the spirit of fairness I propose that families be given a reasonable discount and foetuses be exempt.

User pays, no really

Congratulations to Byron Shire for installing a parking ticket machine at the Pass, but why only there? Why not change $2 per hour for every car park in the shire? And what about the hippies who don’t drive, why should they get to enjoy the beach for free? It got me thinking. It takes a lot of money maintaining a shire and that money has to come from somewhere. Real estate owners pay rates, while renters and visitors don’t, this unfair situation need to be addressed as soon as possible. Don’t renters and visitors walk

Profile

A life in books and art: talking with Sabine Pinon So, when we finally folded our publishing house five years ago, we decided to give Australia another go.

Victoria Cosford

French-born Sabine Pinon, together with her husband Vianney, have been running Still@the Centre art gallery at the Byron Arts & Industry Estate for the last four years. Given her very arty background this comes as no surprise – until you discover that Sabine’s great passion has always been books. What was your early life like? I was born in Paris, where my parents had met. My mother was Belgian and my father English, born in the Canary Islands and brought up in Barcelona. After working in PR (public relations) for La Voce del Padrone (His Master’s Voice) in Milan – signing a lot of classical artists to the label – he moved to Paris and met my mum. They bought a gallery and antique shop – my father had a really good eye and would spot things from flea markets; they’d travel to England and buy things from old farms. One day at a flea market my father spotted an El Greco and had it restored – I was about eight or nine. Mum went to pick it up and flew into a rage saying she could have done the job so much better! She ended up going to Rome to study art restoration and at the end was chosen out of ten people to enter the Louvre as an art restorer. We were so proud of her. ‘This is my mum’s office,’ I would say so pompously whenever we drove past the Louvre. I was brought up like that…

My parents separated – my mother went off with a painter she had met when she was 18. She was a very modern bohemian sort of woman. And my father became head of a big American art foundation in Paris. But I was always in books, just an avid reader!

was getting married to a Tasmanian in Melbourne so, aged 25, I came here and really loved it. I fell in love with Australia. Through Caroline I met Australian authors, so when I came back to Paris I studied up the Australian section of books in my bookshop.

Where did you study, and what? I studied American and English literature at the Sorbonne and did an MA. Then, aged 20 and still studying, I started an English bookshop in Paris called Attica. It’s still going strong. I was really young, bold and young. It was fun – but I worked really hard.

So you came back to Paris… Yes, but after eight years I sold the bookshop, leaving as poor as I entered! I got a job as assistant to an art expert. And I realised I knew more about art than I had thought. I ended up in the south of France in a small publishing house designing books. It was like two rivers you didn’t even know were running parallel then hitting each other: my love of books and my background in and knowledge of art. I was really good at it and did it freelance and then around that time I met my husband.

How did you end up in Australia? My friend Caroline Baum [well-known journalist and broadcaster] whom I had known since university in York

He was doing PR for cultural events in Arles but started helping me more and more with graphic design and finally came on board. So we started up our own publishing company called The Invisible Thread, specialising by now in Australian literature. When we decided the struggle was too big, however, we sold it. It was very sad and it left us wondering what to do next. We had bought a little farm at Goonengery when we started our Australian connection and had come out in 2002 and lived there for a year. We fell in love with this part of the world!

You’ve been running the gallery ever since, changing its name from Waywood and expanding it. How have you both found it? When we took over it was just this little corner space. We were lucky because all four units at the time were available, so we sold our place at Goonengerry and moved upstairs. It’s expanded really nicely. But now it’s time to reinvent ourselves – rents are high and art sales are poor. We have to become more sustainable, maybe give up the blue building and bring framing workshops and art classes back here. I’m thinking what will happen is a space where artists can

come and meet, have discussions – there’ll be the cafe in the corner. It might not be as grand as before but I think it will be fine actually – the situation is just asking us to be creative. It will have one shape or another, something supporting the arts and the artists. We’ve exhibited 450 regional artists over the four years! But I think the general public in Australia is a bit uncomfortable around art – compared to Europe. People are worried about engaging and feeling they should buy something they are looking at. I’m actually not very convinced about the future of art galleries. I don’t know if it’s not over, if the world of galleries is over. Maybe in big towns… Picasso these days would not be in a gallery, he would have his own. But it’s an interesting process.

Why we all should learn the Economics of Happiness Jemima Roberts

Filmmaker, environmentalist and one of the pioneers of the localism movement, Helena Norberg-Hodge (pictured right) knows a thing or two about globalisation. A visit to Ladakh, a remote village in the Himalayas in 1975, inspired Ancient Futures, a book about her experiences, along with the foundation of the International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC) to promote the concept of localism. Her latest venture is the documentary, The Economics of Happiness, premiered at the Royal Geographic Society in February. Helena, how would you introduce yourself and your work? Helena Norberg-Hodge: As an expert on the impact of the global economy on culture and on agriculture. Tell me about The Economics of Happiness and the impetus behind it? HNH: The film is an offshoot from the work that ISEC and I have been doing for more than three decades: raising awareness about the impact of the global economy and pointing out that localising, rather than globalising, can bring us back from the brink of environmen-

tal and social breakdown. What are your hopes for the film? HNH: That we can contribute to the creation of a movement for economic change – helping social and environmental movements see the multiple benefits of linking hands to form a new movement for a new economy. You have been working on these issues for the last 35 years. Are you able to stand back from your work with some distance and see positive changes? HNH: I definitely see movement, but unfortunately the movement is from ‘above’ –

with lots of foreign funding for a fossil fuel-based, urban consumer culture – this is where I see the most movement. How would you respond to the premise that the environmental/alternative economic movement as a whole is ‘guilty’ of talking more to each other than to wider society? HNH: I think it’s a fair criticism. There could definitely be more emphasis on getting the word out more widely. There has been too much emphasis on talking to government and big business and not enough on talking to ordinary citi-

zens. I don’t think the problem is that society at large is keen to shirk responsibility. Even in America people have said again and again that they would be willing to sacrifice for a cleaner environment. Do you think there is some truth in the charge that these ‘issues’ have become clouded by the issue of class in the context of the UK? HNH: I think this charge is unfair. Unfortunately, the most marginalised and impoverished people are not generally in a position to give the same amount of time and energy to movement building that middle class people can. I think we should focus more, rather than less, on mobilising the middle classes. They often have a bit of time and money to contribute to change. Are we facing a crisis, and if so is it environmental, economic or moral? HNH: I think we are facing a crisis of ignorance and blindness to the bigger picture connections and underlying causes of our crises. Most of our crises are caused by the economic system, but there is little analysis of this connection. You highlight the danger of homogenisation, that the Western model encourages competition, friction. But you also argue that we are not intrin-

sically greedy or competitive? HNH: At a deep psychological level, convincing young people that they will get the respect, admiration, love that they are looking for through consumerism is a manipulation of a deep human instinct to want to belong. Advertising and the media reinforce this message, in the process destroying the community structures that provided people with the affirmation that they need. We have evolved in groups – deeply interdependent and connected – the separation and competition of the modern world is antithetical to our deepest needs. How, in the average daily life of an individual living in the West, can globalisation be countered? HNH: It would start with liberating the mind and opting out of the many myths that keep us locked in their grip. Most effective is to link up with likeminded others to create a culture of liberation and then to start taking community steps away from economic enslavement. You have said that we all need to become ‘economic experts’. Can you suggest how, in real terms, this could happen? HNH: We need to understand the impact of the economic system, not get trained in economic ‘theory’, but rather

understand how the actual economic system works and how it affects society and the natural world. This understanding can best be gained by looking at alternative sources of knowledge. Helena, one last question: what keeps you motivated after 35 years of working on these issues? HNH: What motivates me is the conviction that our problems are mainly a consequence of a lack of holistic understanding of the man-made system in which we are entwined. I was forced to see it from a different angle; an angle that I believe can help shed light on the root causes of our crises. I feel highly motivated to share this perspective. What sustains me is faith in the basic goodness of human beings, or rather, in their preference for co-operative and peaceful relations. Also, my love of wild nature and the realisation that so much of nature is still intact and healthy enough to keep providing deep inspiration and joy. Screenings will be at the Mullum Civic Hall at 6.30pm on Wednesday, April 13, and the Byron Community Centre (upstairs) at 6pm on Sunday, April 17. For more visit www.theeconomicsofhappiness.org.

What Men and Women Want… Mandy Nolan

There’s a joke that a male friend of mine tells on stage about being in a bookshop where he comes across a book called What Men Want in Bed. An entire book, he laughs! ‘Actually what men want could be written in a pamphlet. I could put what I want on a business card.’ Sex therapist and author Bettina Arndt’s most recent publication is a follow on from her analysis of male/female sexual mismatch, The Sex Diaries, and is titled What Men Want – in Bed. Arndt draws inspiration from 150 male diarists who detail just what it’s like to live with constantly sparking sexual energy – relentless, uncontrollable, all consuming. When asked to describe on a business card what men want, Arndt is quick to answer. ‘The real answer is most men want more sex, not for sexual relief but to connect to the women they love and to feel wanted, desired.’ In The Sex Diaries Arndt suggests that the general problem is that men want more sex with their female partners (studies are based on long-term heterosexual unions). Arndt suggests that women learn to ‘put the canoe in the water.’ ‘It’s not about catering to men,’ she stresses. ‘There is research that shows that women don’t necessarily experience spontaneous desire, but if they get their head into it the arousal will come. That’s a revelation, when I was being trained as a sex therapist we thought that desire had to come first. We assumed it was a bad idea for women to have sex without that initial desire.’ Sex, or the lack of it, is one of the core problems of many failing relationships. ‘A lot of women have known that if you just have sex when you feel like it, then you’ll rarely end up doing it. In my new book [What Men Want – In Bed] there’s a man who doesn’t have sex for twenty

years because his wife has just shut up shop. In this book men describe how that feels.’ Arndt jokes about the efforts women have traditionally made to please their men. ‘Ironing tea towels, finding the perfect underpants, keeping the house clean. At the end of the day, it’s sex that keeps most men happy.’ Rejection is a constant theme of relationship toxicity. ‘It’s about never feeling wanted or loved, it’s about the emotional issues of not feeling wanted by the person who you love. Both men and women who are being rejected start to doubt themselves – women just hate it.’ According to the diarists in Arndt’s new book, this constant rejection is a recur-

ring theme. ‘Women dole out sexual favours to their men, like meaty bites to a dog,’ jokes Arndt. Five chapters of her book are dedicated to erections. ‘I could have written the whole book on them!’ she laughs. ‘There are stories of older women who share how devastated and distraught they are because their husbands with ED (erectile dysfunction) often retreat from intimacy. I wanted to look at the age of Viagra. When I stared working 30 something years ago we had nothing to offer men with ED. But now we do. I wanted to find out what it actually feels like for men to pop a pill or inject their penis and how that feels for their wives.’ In the book men also shared

why they look at pornography. ‘Women often feel threatened when their partners use porn. Men explain why they look at sexual material, using it to keep a lid on their enormous sexual desires. They said they would rather look at and be with their wives, and it wasn’t that they were wanting their wives to be porn stars.’ Bettina Arndt presents ‘Why Wives Would Rather Eat Chocolate’, a keynote talk about mismatched desire and what men want – funny, interesting stories from both research projects at the Byron at Byron Resort and Spa at 7.00pm on Thursday, April 14.

Menopause is more than Hot Flushes and Night Sweats! Many women equate hot ushes and night sweats only 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 Yatan Holistic advert on these pages). Using the time-tested and holistic treatment approach of Ayurveda, Raman Das has great success and very positive feedback from women he is treating for menopause – so they heal and bloom!

TAIJI Soft-style Martial Art for inner strength & harmony

BYRON BAY CHIROPRACTIC Unwinding the Spine At Byron Bay Chiropractic Centre we are currently trialing a new technique, Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC). This approach to healing the old traumas or subluxations has a remarkable and dramatic effect on posture and wellbeing. Having experienced it myself, I am feeling fantastic and looking for those intrepid souls who wish to accompany me on this journey. The down side to the ABC approach is that it will take us on a journey of retracing all the old traumas as the spine unwinds layer upon layer of compensation. This will require patient persistence as the body has its own wisdom and there will be times in this process when we will feel worse until we move through the next layer and emerge even more alive and free. If you are ready for the next step in your healing then ask Bruce Campbell at Bruce@Byronchiro.com ph: 6680 9991. Of course we continue to ‘nurture the integrity of your nervous system’ in the usual way and ABC is an ‘opt in’ service only.

QUIT CIGARETTES TODAY I had a lot of shame around being a well known and experienced healer myself and not being able to kick the habit of smoking. I was very concerned about the awareness and integrity of the practitioner who was going to put me into hypnosis, as I am very sensitive to people’s energy. After ringing four other ads in different places over a period of time, I eventually spoke with Kim and I realised he was working from a very high level. The program addressed everything, removing the unconscious blocks or triggers, working with the mind and the body. I even received help to remove the heavy metals and chemicals out of my body following quitting. Kim not only helped me quit smoking for good; he healed me on some very deep levels. I am eternally grateful. (Anonymous) I was very sceptical from the advertising about the results that were claimed. However, I felt a million bucks after the session and couldn’t stop smiling. The herbs had me sleeping better than I had in years, plus the patches worn on the body seemed to really lift my energy and I have continued to wear the ones for helping sleep and energy. I don’t really remember what happened in that hypnosis session but it worked. I am still surrounded by cigarette smoke daily because of my work environment but have no compulsions to smoke and am ...nurturing the integrity disgusted by the of your nervous system. habit.

THE CONCEPT OF THE BEARDS IS SIMPLE: A FOLKROCK BAND THAT EXCLUSIVELY PERFORM SONGS ABOUT JUST ONE SUBJECT: BEARDS. Forming in 2005 to perform one show only in their hometown of Adelaide, South Australia, The Beards soon found their truly unique concept in hot demand and were booked to play further shows. Rising to the challenge, the quartet continued to grow their beards longer and longer, and continued to write more and more songs about beards. As they played around town, word spread, and their fan base grew. By 2007, the band enjoyed a local cult following. But this was just the beginning. Mandy Nolan communed with The Bearded ones. What is it about men with beards? Why are they so often thought to be suspicious? I blame the shaving industry. They’ve been perpetuating the myth that men with beards are dodgy for over one hundred years. It makes perfect sense. If the public perception of beards is negative the public are more likely to shave, and the shaving industry will continue to boom. But the fate of the shaving industry is actually in our hands. If we collectively say ‘no more’, and stop shaving, they will crumble. If you shave, you’ve fallen for it hook, line and sinker. Basically, if you shave, you’re stupid.

Are you under pressure to keep a beard in The Beards? Well yeah – if I shave, I’m out of the band! But I’m fine with that, as I would never, even for a second, contemplate shaving my beard (I’m not stupid). I suppose I should ask, are they real? Where do you get off asking a question like that?! Of course they are real – we are not hypocrites, we are bearded. Is a man shaving his face akin to a facial brazilian? I call it a facial bastardisation. What inspired The Beards to start making music? Well, music is just the vehicle of choice for our propaganda. If we can condense our message into a catchy, singalong chorus, the message is more likely to spread. But we work hard at the music, we set a high standard so that it really will convince people to grow beards – and it does! But, truth be known, we don’t care for music – we only care for beards. How do you draw a line between comedy and music? Do you draw a line? Music, comedy, performance, entertainment – these are all just tools we use to combat the shaving pandemic that has gripped society since the Industrial Revolution. What, besides beards, do you tackle in your music? Nothing at all. Have you started getting any Beards groupies? Sadly no, except for blokes with beards, but no girls. Unfortunately, girls tend to think beards are gross. They’ve been tricked, too, I guess.

the beards cont You have had some good raves from Tripod – although where they seem to have been pitched as primarily comedy you are going for the musical market. Why that choice? I guess we have something we firmly believe in – a message we feel needs to be heard. They have no beards, so it only makes sense they have nothing serious to say – we have beards so we know there is something worth living, writing and, if necessary, dying for. What have you been working on at the moment? We’ve been working on our third album. It’s about beards. Who do you think would look good with a beard and why? Well pretty much everybody, except for Kyle Sandilands. His beard is hurting our cause. He’s probably on Gillette’s payroll. Tell us what to expect at your Byron gig. I expect we will convince at least one person to never shave again. Thursday at the Beach Hotel.

The Little Stevies HAVING CHARMED THE WORLD WITH THEIR 2009 DEBUT LOVE YOUR BAND THE LITTLE STEVIES HAVE UPPED THE ANTE WITH THEIR NEWEST OFFERING, ATTENTION SHOPPERS. THEY SPOKE WITH MANDY NOLAN ABOUT THE TWISTS AND TURNS OF THEIR MUSICAL CAREER. What do you think is your secret for connecting so well with audiences? I could try to be all intellectual about it, but actually I have no idea. I guess just being yourself seems to work for us, ’cause that’s all we ever do. That and spiking the audience’s drinks before we start. How much of yourself do you give away in your music, or in your show? Is that person on stage related to the you that goes home at the end of the night? I give everything away. I’d tell my full life story to a stranger on the bus given the chance, especially if we were the only two people on the bus and I felt

POLITICS, GUNS AND FISH In their bid to not align themselves with state Labor, the Greens have shot themselves in the foot. (Fortunately, it may soon be legal to do exactly that when we’re all issued with our 2011 commemorative NSW election rifle and bible pack.) Ironically, thanks to the Greens not preferencing the ALP at our recent state election, the Shooters’ Party and Fred Nile’s Christian Democrats will hold the Balance of Power in the senate. Had they preferenced Labor, the coveted BOP would have been theirs. Doh! Should have thought that one through. Now we’re going to be taking the counsel of gun-crazed Christians on important state government issues. That’s like getting advice from Martin Bryant. We’re all pretty familiar with Fred’s homophobic platform: gays and lesbians are to be burned in hell and if this isn’t available then we’re to use them for kindling at our next Australia Day BBQ. I am curious, however, about the Shooters’ Party position on this particular issue. On closer inspection of the Shooters’ Party policy I came across a clause which reads: ‘The Party accepts that the advancement and development of the individual are paramount, and that no law should restrict or hinder those rights, unless the exercise of those rights directly interferes with the rights of others.’ Therefore, in keeping with this rather lofty goal, it would appear that the Shooters’ Party, unlike the Christian Democrats, must in fact support gay marriage. Hell, they’re all up for a good oldfashioned shotgun wedding! Guns and freedom. The right to bear arms. The right to arm bears. The right for good, law-abiding citizens to carry guns and use them right up until that point when they snap and become serial killers. After they’ve shot 20 people the guns will have to be taken

away and they’ll have to re-apply for their firearms licence. Or maybe they’ll just get a warning. It’s not just about shooting. Fishing also gets a look in. It appears that you can also shoot fish. In a barrel. With Barry O’Farrell. That’s how easy it’s going to be to get rid of refugees now. Especially when Pauline ‘Gollum’ Hanson commando crawls her way to her ‘precious’ seat. Why without marine park restrictions you’ll even be able to fish for refugees. Of course it’s with humanity and conservation in mind. It’s catch and release. But if they do step on Aussie soil we’ll shoot them. That’s after Fred Nile’s had anal intercourse with them to check if they’re homosexual or not. While the Shooters’ Party are all for arming the nation, their policy dictates that they ‘oppose violence on television, films and video’. That’s right. Why watch simulated killing when you have the ability to watch it for real? So lets use the Shooters’ platform in the senate. Let them all pack a pistol, like the wild west. And whenever there’s a legislative debate on passing a bill there’ll be a shoot-out. Like the Pulp Fiction cafe massacre. Pauline Hanson finally snaps, screaming ‘it’s not fair’ and goes on a killing spree, accidentally taking out Reverend Fred who’s busy researching gay porn. Pauline’s unstoppable. But wait, who’s that in the corner with her green guns blazing. It’s Jan. She’s like Lara Croft out of Tomb Raider. She fires her one bullet: it’s heading for Pauline. Hooray, it’s going to be a bullseye…It stops. The president of the senate calls a point of order. ‘Sorry, Ms Barham, Greens don’t have the Bullets of Power’. Damn. Damn. Damn. (Postscript: This is satirical humour. If you don’t understand, stop reading; you could get hurt. Buy a gun instead. They're so much safer than ideas)

kinda awkward and like I should fill the silence. I’m a bit of a ‘what you see is what you get’. I often worry that I shouldn’t say certain things out loud, but then I try to remind myself not to worry, because I also worry too much.

embarrassing; I just don’t realise it. I quite like the most recent hit by Michael Buble – it’s probably one of my most favourite songs I’ve heard on commercial radio recently (Just Haven’t Met You Yet?) – I’m pretty sure that’s not doing anything for my cool mojo.

Are you the great family disappointment? Is your mother happy with your career choices? Ha! No, I’m the favourite; they’re really proud of me. My sister is the disappointment (only joking, Beth!). My sister and I are both in The Little Stevies and our parents couldn’t be more proud; we’re very lucky. They never gave us much pressure to do anything we didn’t want to do. Except for uni – they wanted us to finish uni. They didn’t mind what we studied though, so we both have music-related degrees.

How was it for you showcasing in the States? Has it opened any doors for you over there? Yeah, it has. We’ve done some showcase tours in the US and Canada, and this year it looks like we’ll be heading back over to Canada to release the album and play a few festivals which is very exciting. Apart from the doors it’s opened, the best thing has to be the confidence boost showcasing overseas and being so well received has provided us with. I’m so much more confident now and I feel like we can do anything we want as a band; that’s a great feeling.

What music touches you the most, or has influenced your musical path? I love a song with a good story. I like to follow lyrics and get taken away with the idea of what it could all mean. I love having a sob to a really touching song, or a really uplifting song can change my mood completely. Some of my favourite songs that have this effect on me are: Beautiful World and Waiting For My Real Life To Begin by Colin Hay; You Make My Dreams by Hall and Oats; Lest We Forget by The Waifs; Feelings of Grief by Paul Kelly; Sing On The Door by Kasey Chambers. Is there anything terribly embarrassing that you’ll admit to secretly loving? Probably heaps of the music I like is

What inspires you as songwriters? For me, it’s just some kind of deep emotion. I have to feel something really full on to want to write a song. But the subject matter can be anything. I’ve written a song about camping before; I just felt REALLY passionate about camping that day. Do you ever write a song and think, no that’s a solo piece, but this one is a Stevies song? Is everything you write up for grabs? Everything I write is up for grabs, mainly because I have no ambition or intention to be a solo artist. I’m happy being in The Little Stevies. I think I’d get too lonely being a solo artist, and I don’t have the confidence or ego for it. It takes a lot of self-belief just being in a band; the process is full of fun times but also full of rejection and hard work. I’d hate to take that on just under my name. I have a lot of respect for ambitious solo artists; it must be very difficult. What makes it to the studio for recording? How particular are you about what gets recorded and makes it to album? We had about 25 songs demoed for Attention Shoppers, and we had to choose 12. It was really hard. I don’t enjoy that process, mainly because I feel really attached to certain songs and unfortunately sometimes they aren’t the ones that get picked for the album – it’s at those times that I dream of being an ambitious solo artist. Do you try to tell a story with your music, or your recordings? Always. We rarely play songs that don’t revolve around a story; we all love a story song.

What are the three most important things you’ve learned in the recording business…and on stage? We’ve learnt to think creatively about forging a career path in this industry. There’s never just one way, and there’s nothing wrong with doing things a little differently. We’ve learned to be patient and to remember that things aren’t always how they seem in the business. We’ve learned not to get too excited before everything’s locked in, and also that it’s important to celebrate and acknowledge the little wins along the way.

Loren and Murray Kyle to share stage in Lismore

Thursday. Although these Uki friends and collaborators produce quite different sounds, they are both artists who imbue their music with consciousness, passion and plenty of groove. Murray recently joined Loren in the studio to provide some harmonic backing vocals on Loren’s forthcoming CD, Listening to the Moon. Murray’s latest CD is also due out in a few months so the Tatts gig is a good chance for Lismore fans to get a sneak preview of new songs from both performers. Doors 8.30pm. $10.

By Lamplight

Since his blazing debut release Stargazer, guitar-wielding troubadour Jarrah Thompson has toured Australia extensively, wowing audiences with his fuzzed-out wah-rock and epic guitar/ flute jams. Thompson and his new band tour the country before another stint in Brazil and a debut appearance in Europe. The Treehouse in Belongil on Thursday, Lennox Pub on Friday and the Byron Brewery on Tuesday with another appearance at The Rails in Byron on Thursday 14 April.

Gold Coast band The Lamplights are made up of a creative trio including Ashley Perrow, Ryan Gittoes and Jason Mcgregor. The guys recorded their self-titled album late last year and decided that they were going to do their sales differently. Instead of having a set price for the album they use an honesty system whereby fans donate whatever money or goods they’d like in exchange for an album. Dangerous trade, but fun. The Lamplights are playing their first Byron Bay show on Saturday at The Buddha Bar 7pm. Bring your brushcutter if you want an album.

King Tide was not intentionally formed, it was born. And boy has it grown, taking on a life of its own, more or less kidnapping its members like some kind of ‘SKANK GHOST’ haunted ship hell bent on rocking festival stages across the land, with little or no mercy.

Well Swung WellSwung Daddies was formed in the middle of 2010 when the members acquired arrangements of the modern swing masters The Cherry Poppin Daddies, The Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Royal Crown Revue and Brian Stzer. The arrangements were selected for their modern version of swing, which also encompasses, jive, rock ’n’ roll, lindy hop etc. The band consists of two trumpets, three saxes, a rhythm section and lead vocalist. $15 Bangalow Bowlo on Saturday.

It was January 6th 1989 when young Dutchman Nicky Romero saw his first light of day. Born and raised in a small city called Amerongen, Nicky developed an interest for music at a very early age. At the age of six he hit his first snare drum after joining a marching band and this is where it all kicked off.

READY, SET, GO! SOLID GOLD DANCERS AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON SATURDAY

e r u l t u c No Doubt about it The resident theatre group of the Byron Theatre at The Community Centre, The Byron Bay Theatre Company, premieres a new show that presents a potent mix of race, sex and religion, all wrapped up in a riveting Pulitzer prize-winning play. Doubt places the audience square in the middle of a moral dilemma: What happens to our deeply held beliefs when our inner voice starts to doubt? The setting is a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964, and Sister Aloysius (played by Linda Rutledge) and Father Brendan Flynn (played by Avikal) face off in an unforgettable clash of wills when accusations and suspicion fill the air. Doubt, by John Patrick Shanley, is directed by Anatoly Frusin, and opens on Friday with the season continuing until 17 April. Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7.30pm and Sundays at 5pm. Tix $27/$22 available at the Byron Community Centre. Ph: 6685 6807 or www.byroncentre. com.au.

Kids watching films Tuesday 12 / Wednesday 13 April at 11am take your kids to see The Cat Returns – a gorgeous imaginative animation that kids will love. After helping a cat, a young girl finds herself involuntarily engaged to a cat prince in a magical world where her only hope of freedom lies with a dapper cat statuette come to life. A masterpiece by the word’s greatest animator, Hayao Miyazaki, in English and distributed by Disney. See you there! All tickets at the door $8.

Frankenstein’s theatre Danny Boyle’s production of Frankenstein for National Theatre Live is currently the hottest ticket in London, but North Coast audiences don’t have to travel to Europe to see this stunning production. This deeply disturbing classic gothic tale of a man pieced together from dead men, brought to life by a scientific genius on whom he then turns, was written by Mary Shelley nearly 200 years ago, but its themes of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil remain extraordinarily relevant today. Frankenstein screens at Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas at 1pm on Saturday and Sunday. Tix at the Dendy box office or phone 6680 8555.

Open mic comedy provides a platform for new and emerging comics to find their feet by performing five-minute comedy spots. Open mic comedy rooms run all over the world and are the place where new comedy talent is born. Without an open mic room there would be no Robin Williams, no Russell Brands and no Jerry Seinfelds. Last month a local nurse took the plunge and got on stage to perform her first comedy routine. She’s addicted and signed up for the next comedy night. Comedic styles take many forms, from nonsensical styles to awkward ponderings, odd observations and the madcap stylings of anarchic punk comic Dave F Rocks. The evening will be hosted by Mandy Nolan who encourages audience and comedians to unite in the spirit of satire. 8pm for a free show. Last week it was full, so be there early! Free!

Open mic @ the Courthouse Nick Penn has worked full time in the show business for over 25 years. Dynamic, in-your-face with a real knockabout Aussie sense of humour, Penn is the master of creating comedy that’s not just funny it’s clean. ‘It’s the kind of show you could take your Nanna to,’ he boasts. ‘And I suggest you do, because she makes an awesome designated driver.’ His dry wit has audiences all around the country screaming for more. He’s also appeared on a range of Aussie TV shows aimed at both children and adults and he worked in broadcasting for two years on 2Day FM, Sydney’s number one rating radio station, including a year with The Morning Crew. Nick is the special guest MC at the Courthouse open mic on Thursday. 8pm kick-off. Free fun for all.

Funniest girl in the world She’s been seen here in Australia on Good News Week, Spics & Specs; in the UK she’s a comedic star from the Lenny Henry Show, and in the US she’s blitzed it on Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and Chelsea Lately. Gina Yashere is quite simply one of the funniest women on the planet. Gina Yashere broke onto the American comedy scene with her appearances on Last Comic Standing (NBC) where she made it to the final ten. Gina’s bombastic delivery, infectious personality and cheeky observations have wowed audiences all around the world, and she continues to take the comedy world by storm and is now one of the most highly sought after comics in the UK and the US, selling out theatres with her Skinny Bitch show. Gina performs at the Pandanus Lounge at the Byron Services Club on Monday 18 April at 8pm. MC is Mandy Nolan and support is Silvinna. Tix $20/25 and can be booked on 6684 3443 or bought directly at the club.

party ever anywhere in the universe’ is difficult to prove. In fact, the very name ‘Solid Gold’ is itself a point of conjecture: apart from being blatantly plagiaristic there is no actual gold – solid, 24 carat or even fool’s – used anywhere in the production of the night. So here are the facts plain and simple: solid gold ‘Sports Carnival’ this weekend. Lots of people dancing to the hits of the 70s, 80s and 90s in tight fluoro lycra, mismatched tennis outfits, hand-medown tracky dacks, fake moustaches, ill-fitting wigs, netball skirts, stubbies shorts and football shirts remembering the few times they didn’t wag the school sports carnival and won the sack race for green or red or Paterson or Lawson or whatever those house names were. Even people with a note from their mum will be cheered down the winning stretch by the sporty solid gold dancers to the sounds of the Bee Gees, Right Said Fred, Fleetwood Mac, Devo and ABBA. Dress up as your fave sports personality. Hotel Great Northern on Saturday. Doors open at 9pm. Tix online at www.byronbayentertainment.com or at the door.

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

E ARIES: This ultra-Aries week has you buffing up your personal

K LIBRA: This week provides interesting lessons in who and

presentation and doing what you do best: taking the creative initiative and inspiring others to follow your lead. Even if they don’t, you’ll still be off like a rocket on your latest, greatest mission. F TAURUS: With April’s planetary emphasis on correcting past mistakes, this is a brilliant week for deleting old habits, taking care of unfinished business and wrapping up loose ends. Taking another look at something could locate critical flaws, giving you time to either fine tune or make alternative plans. G GEMINI: Geminis have plenty of natural insight into the way people think. But how they feel? Mmm, not quite so gifted there. Let this week's Neptunian insight tune you into more sensitive levels of human feelings, especially during late week Gemini moon’s business offers and opportunities. H CANCER: April’s an ambitious month for the Crab family’s professional and career interests, but as always with so much happening in outer world circumstances, home’s your anchor. Take advantage of the present tremendous impetus to simplify, scale back and downsize with a feng shui purge of nonessentials. I L EO: You’ll hear plenty of differing opinions this week but listen up because they’re all of use to you, even the ones you least agree with. A little give goes a long way right now, and will be so much less stressful than maintaining a grudge match. J VIRGO: Judgment can often be faulty during Mercury retrograde due to insufficient or incorrect intel, so give others the benefit of the doubt and you might be pleasantly surprised. Keep commitments low key, and use provoking behaviour as an opportunity to hone your savoir faire and repartee.

what you choose to align with as you come up against competitive people with quite surprising manners – or lack thereof. Let these turbulent, confrontational citizens do their own thing while you go your way and do yours. L SCORPIO: April’s take care of your health month. If you’re fit as a flea and this doesn’t apply, then don’t take risks or safety shortcuts. And remember health isn’t just physical; this week’s also beneficial for letting go grudges and allowing yourself the healing feeling of forgiveness. M SAGITTARIUS: The perky pack of planets in your house of fun won’t lie down and be denied this week, which showcases your playful inner skateboarder. Demanding, hard to please people require flexibility on your part, and full-on activity, as always, needs a balance of retreat and reflection. N CAPRICORN: With a new domestic cycle just beginning, events around Capricorn Casa could be moving at a faster pace than your usual controlled rhythm. The machinery of the universe supports your asking for help this week rather than trying to do everything by yourself. O AQUARIUS: While this week applauds your chutzpah, it’s worth softening the sharp remarks and remembering not everyone shares your quirky sense of humor – which is precisely what will keep a smile on your dial through the clashing agendas the present planetary combination has up its sleeve. P P ISCES: Early week Neptune entering Pisces brings ingenious ideas, a delicious sense of mischief and interesting lessons in self development via feedback you mightn’t like, but could benefit from hearing – uncomfortable realisations which would bring a significant healing shift if you’re open to it.

The consequences of the cheating scandal involving rising French star Sebastian Feller are already being felt at the European Championships currently underway in Aix-les-Bains, France. Last month Feller was banned for three years for cheating to gain a gold medal at the 2010 Chess Olympiad – moves suggested by a computer-using accomplice in France were signalled to Feller by his captain. However, because Feller has appealed the French Chess Federation’s decision, the implementation of his penalty has been deferred. As a result, Feller could not be prevented from playing in the European Championships – the premier event to be hosted by France this year, featuring 172 Grandmasters among the 407 players. In the first half of the tournament Feller’s results were excellent. A 15 minute lag on internet transmission was sporadically implemented in Aix-les-Bains to try to discourage the type of cheating which took place at the Khanty-Mansiysk Olympiad but

cinema reviews Just Go With It I confess that I saw this while suffering from a Force 10 hangover (the Stanley curse),

come to see that, deep down, he really loves Katherine? There is nothing wrong with recycling a story that pre-dates the Old Testament, but this has all the wit and vivacity of the NSW Labor Party. In what is no more than a vanity piece for an egomaniac (that I believed him in Reign Over Me is a lasting embarrassment), Sandler cops two blows to the gonads – the second, I’m pleased to report, drew a nil response from the crowd I was a part of (even the bare-feet-on-the-seats slugs have a breaking point when it comes to moronic cliché) – as does his idiot mate Eddie (Nick Swardson), who is impersonating a retarded(?) German. Aniston tries hard – not that Jen has ever freed herself from her Rachel of Friends persona – but her effort is to no avail, and, oh yes, there are a couple of revolting kids in it too. Foolishly, by staying to the end of this Joe Cocker, I have squandered the hour of my life that was returned to me when daylight saving ended. ~ John Campbell

which is not the ideal condition under which one might approach an Adam Sandler movie. But that raises the obvious question – how does anybody who has not just learnt to tie up their shoe-laces cope with him anyway? Why won’t he go away? Never accused of over-estimating the intelligence of his audience, Sandler here is Danny, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who falls for the much younger Palmer (Brooklyn Decker). Tanned, blonde and looking scrumptious in a tiny yellow bikini as she emerges from the water in regulation slo-mo, she is unaccountably crazy about him, too. When she finds a wedding ring in Danny’s jeans, he lies about his marital status and asks Katherine (Jenifer Aniston), his long-time, unappreciated work colleague, to pretend to be his ex-wife. Hands up if you think that Danny will eventually

Never Let Me Go Mark Romanek’s adaptation of Kazuro Ishiguro’s novel is a disturbing science fiction set in the recent past. Reminiscent of the creepy brave new worlds of Huxley and Orwell, it takes a little while for the story to reveal itself, but when the realization of what is happening sinks in it is utterly shocking. A brief opening scene has narrator Kathy (Carey Mulligan) watching on as Tommy (Andrew Garfield) awaits an operation, then we flash back seventeen years to 1978 and the rural boarding school of Hailsham, where she, Tommy and Ruth (Keira Knightley) are best friends. It is a given that you know why they are at that institution, why there is no talk of family, why the children are so excited by the delivery of broken, second-hand toys, so it is only through a maverick teacher’s revelation to the kids themselves that we are let in on what they are being groomed for. And from that moment a suffocating pall descends on all that follows. It’s one of the movie’s great strengths that so much is withheld, that nothing is spelt out for the viewer.

The story opens with Dr Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) and his wife (January Jones) arriving at a swank hotel in Berlin where he will speak at a conference. But he’s left a briefcase behind, so, while she checks in, and without telling her, he jumps into another taxi to return to the airport. Uh oh, I thought, this is going to be one of those ridiculous movies in which contrivance, coincidence and nonsense are allowed to run unchecked solely for the purpose of kidding the audience into thinking how clever is the intrigue. Harris ends up in a four-day coma after that ill-fated second taxi careers off a bridge and into the river below – it is, unarguably, a beautifully filmed stunt, as are all the car chases and smash ups, of which there are plenty to keep any rev-head thrill seeker happy. Compounding his rotten luck, some wise guy has stolen his identity and Harris, without a passport or anybody

in town who can identify him, cannot prove who he is. The plot thickens when his wife apparently does not recognise him. Fortunately for Harris, the cabbie, Gina (Diane Kruger), an illegal alien, is also a cute and tenacious blonde whom he effortlessly manages to track down, despite his unfamiliarity with the city and lack of German. In one unfathomable piece of editing, we see Harris, half-drugged after being plugged in the neck with a syringe by a bad guy posing as a medico, making a frantic

youngsters are haunted by a grim inevitability, but they cling to vague possibilities – discussing their circumstances, the most positive news anybody can come up with is ‘they say that …’ Romanek keeps the temperature frosty – it is always overcast, with foliage being disturbed by a chill breeze – and we rarely encounter characters who are not part of the narrowing world of Kathy, Tommy and Ruth. Knightley is a tad beau monde, but Mulligan and Garfield (whose flakiness reminded me of Anthony Perkins) both shine. The deliberate avoidance of extreme emotional swings – Tommy cracks once towards the end – creates a discomfiting but appropriate passivity that works counter to the expectation of a gushing conclusion. After such restraint, Kathy’s summing up seems superfluous, but that's a minor quibble. A meditative and at times incongruously pretty horror movie – I can’t get it out of my head. ~ John Campbell

escape from hospital before, in the next shot, climbing out of the back of a rescue van at a fire. It was a bizarre cut and I am still not certain that there wasn’t an accidentally deleted scene that might have made sense of it. Standard operational procedure for such high gloss tosh is then adhered to as a fiendishly convoluted and labyrinthine conspiracy is piece by agonising piece revealed and the body count accelerated (I was not aware that there are no police in Berlin – even as Harris fangs a car at top speed, in reverse, through a crowded shopping arcade there is not a copper in sight). For cine tragics, the most enjoyable moment comes in a tense confrontation between Bruno Ganz and Frank Langella. The last time I’d encountered these fine actors they were playing Hitler and Nixon respectively and I reckon I could detect a hint of embarrassment in their performances. Oddly, there is no sex, and it is Kruger who gets the best line; ‘vot does it mean?’ ~ John Campbell

1. The presenters of Top Gear grace the screens of Channel Nine twice a week: Sunday, 6.30pm on GO! and Tuesday, 8.30pm on NBN. Unfortunately the mix of repeats, occasional new episodes, cuts and intrusive ad programming has seen the audience for the BBC show diminish from its heady debut on this network, until it is now only getting the ratings it had on SBS (from which it was nicked by Channel Nine). Courage, petrolheads: there’s too much investment for it to disappear from the schedules any time soon. 2. Craig Ferguson (The Late Late Show, ELEVEN, Monday to Friday, 10.30-ish) is a talk show host who

operates in dim lighting in the basement of the CBS studio without a band and with an animatronic skeleton as a sidekick. Nevertheless, he provides some of the best entertainment in this genre – closely followed by Graham Norton (ABC2, Thursday, 9.30pm). Now that paytv has removed Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert from the ABC, there’s not much talk show competition. The Late Show (TEN, Monday to Friday, roughly 11.30) is so formulaic that host David Letterman performs in his sleep, while the frenetic Conan (GEM, Wednesday to Friday 11.30) is apparently set to disappear this week without a trace.

Ham sandwiches Victoria Cosford

Straight off the top of my head I worked out four main areas with which they were synonymous. Banality: their sheer antigourmet ordinariness. Scandal: the fact that Mama Cass Elliot allegedly choked on one and died. Simplicity, which overlaps Banality, as does the final area which is Familiarity. Ham sandwiches I stopped eating when, around 14, I stopped eating lunch – which mostly took the form of sandwiches. And so when several years ago the man I love suggested for our cliff-top walk we take some along with us, my instinctive reaction was resistance. There was, however, something in the notion which charmed me inexplicably, the sweet vision of the two of us sitting side by side staring down at water as we bit into sandwiches. Sure enough, the reality was every bit as sweet as the vision. He insisted on soft white sliced bread, a little butter, and ham off the bone, and after our strenuous clamber up Grassy Head headlands there we settled, the picture of cosiness, frozen forever in to my consciousness. So when last year for our Australia Day bush walk up to the Byron lighthouse and down to Wategos he again suggested ham sandwiches, it was with alacrity I agreed. Unsurprisingly, when this Australia Day we prepared to do the same thing and I was proposing epicurean extras like seedy mustard, glamorous bread rolls and gherkins, he looked at me with horror. My tiny victory of grainy buns lost indeed its lustre when we finally sank onto sand, unwrapped and then ate them: they were definitely less grand than the unadorned

It turns out that Mama Cass did not die choking on a ham sandwich, but as a cause of heart failure – there was, apparently, a ham sandwich on her bedside table. I discovered this when I decided to google ‘ham sandwiches’. Astonishingly, my search yielded three million results. Three million references to ham sandwiches! I found out that there is a Ham Sandwich Theorem, forsooth – a branch of mathematics which refers to bisecting three solids with a single cut, or plane. This much I can grasp. In turn, it appears, this leads to a problem in computational geometry, called the Ham Sandwich Problem, which was so removed from the limited sphere of my intelligence that I could not begin to explain it, so won’t. The expression Ham Sandwich also refers to, variously, a cocktail; a hand-gun planted on a suspect; a vagina; a type of Cadillac; an overweight girl; the state of extreme drunkenness; two men and one woman having sex – according to the Urban Dictionary, which made me feel I had lived a very sheltered life. Ham Sandwich is also the name of an Irish indie rock band. Then there is the Ham Sandwich network, presumably a Christian site with such topics as ‘My testimony of real demonic attack’, ‘Is it OK for a child of God to attend a Katt Williams comedy show?’ and ‘Pole-dancing for Jesus in Texas’. I also found a joke almost as sweet as the poignant innocence of my partner and me enjoying plain ham sandwiches on a clifftop. I am definitely not a joke person, but how could I resist this? A ham sandwich walks into a bar. The bartender says, ‘Sorry, we don’t serve food here!’

A woman to whom I was talking recently told me that she used to be a ‘ham sandwich/chocolate bar kind of girl’. This was apropos a conversation about her successful gourmet marinade business and chef-husband – but it left me musing on ham sandwiches, their associations and connotations.

Eggs the perfect antidote to owls

‘Probably a stuffed toy,’ offered Bosworth. ‘Stuffed toys do not blink,’ I replied. ‘Will under the right conditions,’ said Abbotsleigh, tapping on the table with a silver fork, ‘perhaps you should go a little easier on the entheogens.’ This from a chap who once spent three days upside down in a bell tower talking to a spider. The only course of action was to calm my nerves with scrambled eggs. ‘Ah, Mr Bitemark,’ said Chef, immediately realising why I was there. He heated a large frying pan. In a glass mixing bowl he skillfully whisked three eggs with three teaspoons of low-fat milk and a dash of salt, and then put aside the mixture to settle.

BYRON BAY CONTINUED

A tablespoon of butter was then melted into the frying pan and the egg mixture added. Chef then scattered a handful of grated parmesan throughout it, waited until the mixture began to set and then

Horatio Bitemark

An owl dressed as a wizard is perhaps not the first thing one wishes to see before breakfast but so it was when I took my morning constitutional. There, in the fork of a camphor laurel, was the owl. It had white plumage and a resemblance to a barn owl; from then on its connection to reality diverged: a blue cape covered its back and a blue pointy hat decorated with stars adorned its head. It blinked, I blinked back. There seemed nothing further it wished to convey so I continued on to the clubhouse. The chaps seemed unfazed as I recounted my experience.

Beach Kitchen

ruffled the eggs with a flat wooden spoon. As the eggs formed into harder portions, Chef flipped them about, adding a dash of cracked pepper and a spring of parsley, took them from the heat and slid them onto a Wedgewood willow pattern plate. I sighed in relief as this display of virtuosity. Life seemed normal again. Rather than inflame the culinary passions of the chaps, I took my eggs and joined a couple of the sous chefs at a wooden table, where they were playing the African game Umbobo which, rather than move seeds or stones about, requires the player to guess the middle name of whichever relative the opponent is thinking about, second cousins excluded. By the time I had finished my eggs, James was up three uncles over Dawkins. And by the time I returned to the dining room the chaps were tucking into the Sally Bowles Life Is A Cabaret Cabernet, redolent of black leather and 1930s Berlin, hinting at currywurst and imminent oppression. ‘Once saw a polar bear in a bow tie,’ said Tosser Digby, holding up his cabernet to the light and swirling it about. ‘Mind you, the Inuit had had me out on the ice for six days. Anything was possible.’ – recycled from July 2007

Marlie and Breanna in the medals bronze in the 200m and silver medal in the 800m in the under 10s. Her third place in the 200 is a great result as Brianna is more of a middle distance runner than a sprinter. Big sister Marlie won gold in both the 800m and 1500m in the under 13s and she was the only female athlete of any age group at the championships to run a sub-five-minute 1500. Marlie was also selected for the Queensland team to compete at the National Championships in Sydney on April 30. It is a huge honour for a small club like Byron Bay to have an athlete selected, not to mention for Marlie herself, as the national championships are only held for the Under 13 and Under 15 age groups, with only 13 girls and 13 boys being selected in each age group by each state. Selection to a state team for these championships is a really important milestone in an athlete’s career. Marlie has had a great start to the year, only two weeks ago winning the 800m event at Athletics Australia’s Marlie and Brianna Campton Championships in Brisbane. Both girls achieved good national junior championships recently represented Byron Bay at the Little Athletics State results with Brianna winning at Sydney Olympic Park.

Historic weekend for United Magpies season opener wins It’s been long overdue, over 40 years in fact; however, an Ocean Shores Men’s soccer team played for the very first time ever in the Football Far North Coast competition last weekend. Although Ocean Shores with nearly 5000 residents is one of the largest districts on the Far North Coast, they have had to struggle with just one playing field and without training floodlights. It has meant that only a few junior teams have been able to play soccer there. Long awaited floodlights were finally installed at their home ground at New Brighton last year, allowing senior teams to train during the week in the winter evenings. As a consequence, the new Shores United men’s third and fourth division teams took to the fields on Saturday in the FFNC competition for the first time. The fourths looked fantastic in their new red-and -white stripe uniform. The team is a real mix of older diehard footballers with five or six young teenagers making the jump from the junior ranks for the first time. Defender and club president Mark Patten is now able to play with his 15-year-old son Shaun. The football gods smiled and provided perfect sunny conditions for the match against experienced contenders Alstonville. However, all didn’t go to plan with a shock goal to Alstonville in the first minute of play. Another followed 13 minutes later. At the 28-minute mark, youngster

United’s Ray Musgrave speeds his way past the Villa defence at the historic football match last Saturday.

Tom Drennan hassled the Alstonville keeper forcing him to make a mistake. Drennan was able to dribble the ball into the net and steal a goal to make the score 2–1. Alstonville applied more pressure and a mix up in the Shores back line allowed them in again just one minute later. Shores were bitterly disappointed and the younger Alstonville squad seemed to wear United down; just before the break they managed another goal taking the score to a seemingly unwinnable 4-1. The Shores men mustered their heart and pride at half time as they came back out with all guns blazing. Just five minutes into second half, Shores captain Mick Harding headed a curling corner kick into the net and had the fans on their feet cheering. Two minutes later Ray Musgrave made a runaway break through the centre of the Villa defence and made no mistake beating the keeper and even

the score 4–4, sending the large crowd wild. Villa fought back but their defender fouled young Shores player Josh Evans just outside the penalty box at the 65-minute mark. Dave Carpenter pounced when the free kick deflected off the defensive wall and he scored, unbelievably putting Shores United in front 5 – 4. However there were still 25 minutes to play and a scramble in the Shores goal box 10 minutes later allowed Villa to even the score again. Soon after Musgrave was knocked down in the Villa penalty box and Carpenter stepped up to take the kick. Remarkably the keeper was able to get a hand to it and deflect the shot. For the next 15 very tense minutes both teams were desperate to score; however, the it remained five all at the final whistle. It will certainly be an historic game to remember for years to come.

The sun came out and the Summerland AFL season got underway with the Byron Shire Magpies taking on Coolangatta. Because of player shortages the game was played with 14 a side which meant for fast open football. The Magpies, led by coach Nick Preston from the ruck, started full of run and linking team play. The forwards Hansom Brooks and Doug Perich were marking strongly and kicking goals. With Nick Mil Hanna kicking a few the Magpies had kicked 10 to 1 in the first quarter. This set the trend for the day with the Magpies dominating all day. Marcus Atkinson at centre half back repelled many of Coolies attacks with his fellow backline and was voted the ‘Soul Bowl’ best on ground. Wayne Van Handel played a strong game and along with others provided plenty of ball for the forwards who ended the day with 33 goals. Mil Hanna Carrum kicked 10 goals after taking 20 shots at goal for Byron to finish winners 33-21-

The Under 11 team travelled to Cabarita to take on the Tweed Coast Raiders Green side. The boys came away with a 24–6 win, led up front by bigforwards Cameron Gadsby, Josh Gosiewski and Josh Carruth who created space for the outside backs. Thanks must go to Max Meikle and Jed Edwards from the Under 10s who played for the team. Both boys played a strong game Man of the match was Josh Gosiewski. It was a fantastic game this week for the Under 12s against the Tweed Coast. The game was well played by all the boys and it was great to see everybody getting involved. The boys are improving each week and the hard work at training is paying off. An awesome game from co-captain Luke Caldwell

who scored and converted a brilliant try. Stand-out players this week were Adam ‘Bruiser’ Murray, Callum ‘Bulldog’ Griffith and Bodhi Long. Unfortunately the Under 13s had to forfeit their match, but the Under 14s played Seagulls in their first round match and came away with a well earned 36–12 win. All of the boys were great in attack and defence and reaped the rewards by sticking to their game plan. Three points this week went to Rory Lillis, Dylan Estriech, two points, and one point each to Harry Steiger and Jake Forrester-Oxley. Murwillumbah hosted the Under 16 boys who were unlucky after a hard fought match not to come away with a win. Although the game was con-

troversial at times, the boys held their heads high and played some great hard-hitting football. The final score for this very close game was 10–8. These lads can be satisfied that they played a really great game.

Junior Giants make a great start in 2011 season The footy season kicked off on Saturday with some great games and results for the Mullumbimby Junior Giants. The Under 7s played some great footy in their first game against Murwillumbah. The boys went down five tries to four but played a fantastic match with tries being scored by Jackson, Jake and Luke. The Under 9s had their match cancelled due to ground closure but the Under 10s defeated Tweed Coast Raiders 42–16 with an outstanding game from Bo Browning who scored three tries and was solid in defence. Kane Oliss and Lachlan Mitchel also played strongly. Man of the match was Jed Edwards who topped the tackle count.

Home loan defaults could ruin credit rating for five years Home owners are warned failing to meet their loan repayments could have serious ramifications for their financial future beyond the loss of the home. Director of credit rating repair company My CRA, Graham Doessel, says many people don’t realise the consequence of having defaults on their credit file. ‘Once your home loan is overdue past 60 days, the creditor can list the non-payment as a default on your credit file, and there it remains for five years. A default is a show stopper when it comes to obtaining future credit. ‘Right now, most defaults will not only prevent you from obtaining

a home loan, but car loans, credit cards and even mobile phone plans,’ Mr Doessel says. The warning comes as credit ratings agency Fitch released data from its report The Dinkum Index showing the number of mortgage payments that were more than 90 days late has climbed 12.5 per cent in the last quarter of 2010. This means that most of those delinquent mortgage payments will have now resulted in default listings on those people’s credit files. ‘I really feel for the people in this situation. A default listing, particularly one of this significance should be avoided at all costs, as it just ruins your financial future,’ Mr Doessel says. He says education is the key to changing how we relate to credit in Australia. We live in a society built on credit, so more needs to be done to educate consumers about our credit reporting

laws and how they affect us. Many people don’t even know they have a credit file until they apply for credit somewhere and are flatly refused because of defaults.’ ASIC’s Money Smart Website presents four options for families struggling to meet home loan repayments: 1. Negotiate with your lender either a short-term or long-term change to your repayments. 2. Refinance – taking care to ensure it really is a better deal. 3. Downsize by moving to a less expensive property 4. Sell your home and invest that sum in the hope that you will be able to buy another home in the future. ‘People can’t be in denial about their finances. Sit down and assess

your budget critically and decide how you are going to meet the house repayments every month. If this is not achievable, get rid of the mortgage altogether. It may be the only way you have a chance of owning a

home in the next five years should your finances improve. ‘Selling your home is not the worst thing that can happen; living with credit rating defaults is,’ Mr Doessel says.

Aussie slams exit fees ban by federal government Business Directory page 52

Open Houses, Auctions & New Listings page 63

Mortgage broker Aussie Home Loans has said that the federal government’s ban on exit fees will lessen competition in the mortgage market, add to the cost of home loans and may even cause higher interest rates. The founder of Aussie Home

Loans John Symond says the exit fees ban ‘will hurt not help borrowers, as it will end up adding to the costs of their mortgages’. Mr Symond added that without exit fees most lenders will be forced to introduce loan application fees or increase variable interest rates to cover the costs of setting up loans. These costs include valuation and legal fees – usually charged by third parties. ‘With exit fees being banned, consumers may well find themselves in a position where they will have

to pay costly loan application fees or possibly higher interest rates, as the majority of lenders will need to recover their costs.’ Meanwhile the big banks are in a better position to recover their upfront costs from home borrowers by cross-selling other financial products. Mr Symond said, ‘It is possible that the banks will carry the costs and watch the smaller players become less competitive over the next couple of years. Then in a less competitive market, they may well lift interest rates.

‘The banks also enjoy the protection of government savings guarantees and wholesale funding guarantees, further enhancing their competitive position against the smaller players. ‘It has been the non-banking industry over the last 20 years that brought competition to the mortgage market and forced rates down. The federal government’s ban will go a long way to undoing that good work by making it harder for smaller players to compete.’

The horror! Mullumbimby residents woke on Friday to find that the old Mallam’s supermarket, currently under renovation, was sporting stickers announcing it as an imminent Maccas outlet. Fortunately, the outrage was soon replaced by amusement as people remembered that the date was the first of a certain month. Mind you, the workers in the shop said that they had to endure a few insults from slow thinkers.

The upside of her ordeal is that several people have offered their assistance with the fine, and one Byron Bay businessman generously volunteered to pay the whole astounding $600. ‘It has restored my faith in the good nature of the people in this town,’ said Morgan, ‘but it is a matter of principle for me to appeal against such a travesty of justice.’ We’ll keep you posted.

The worst numbers come from China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the USA and Yemen, with China’s true statistics being hidden, but known to include many people killed by the state for non-violent offences. The appearance of a western democracy on this list of medieval killers continues to be a source of amazement. Q Q Q Q
