CAB AUDIT

Save the Federal church Urgent public meeting at the Federal Hall June 16 from 7pm Organisers are rallying for locals to attend a meeting to discuss ways of retaining the town’s church after the Anglican Parish announced its intention to sell it. ‘Over 100 years ago,’ says organiser Susanna Freymark, ‘local families donated to the community the land the the old Federal Church is on. ‘What’s more, the community then went on to build the church, again with their own resources. Now the Anglican Parish has decided they have the right to sell this land and building to pay debts not related to this community. ‘The church and the hall are part of our history and our village life. ‘The old church is about to be listed

Many of the community events which happen in the Federal Hall will be severely restricted if the church leaves the community’s ownership. We have three choices – do nothing, convince the Church not to sell, or buy it back. ‘The Church has given the community an opportunity in a short time frame to purchase it before it goes out into the market.’ The meeting will be held at the Federal Hall on Thursday June 16 from 7pm.

Max Haim is an apprentice who became a master at the Byron Region Community College. Max, who has a background in online development and internet marketing, was recovering from a debilitating car accident when it was suggested he take a social media course at the college. It wasn’t long before the others students and the teacher were seeking the advice and opinion of Max whose knowledge of the subject far exceeded the course syllabus. The college approached Max and asked him to teach the next course and the rest is becoming history. Max now works full time in digital media and business development, an online market-

ing consultant and a speaker and trainer at the college. ‘I have a passion for business,’ says Max. ‘I like to change and adopt customer strategies and get real usable understanding of the online social world we now live in.’

New rooftop windmills come to Byron Ray Moynihan

A new generation of wind turbines, as small as two metres across, will arrive in Australia in August, as the move towards renewable energy gathers speed. The small turbines use a new ‘blade tip’ technology, enabling power generation in areas with wind-speeds as low as a few kilometres per hour. Recent wind mapping by

Byron Shire Council suggests large-scale wind farms using conventional technology may not be viable in the Shire, though small-scale systems are feasible. Australia currently has a renewable energy target of 20 per cent by 2020, and several new forms of wind turbines are emerging onto the market. While wind is a growing energy source globally, it is controversial because of concerns

Byron library delayed again continued from page 1

He said that what they definitely did not want was Byron ‘going it alone’, citing limited book stocks and reduced service as two outcomes. Section 12 of the Library Act 1939 currently requires one council to manage library services that are collaboratively provided by two or more

councils, as is the case with the Byron Shire libraries as part of the Richmond Tweed Regional Network. Earlier this year Lismore City Council took ‘ownership’ of the network, and disbanded the committee. The change to the Act will allow councils to jointly manage regional library operations.

about noise from turbines, impacts on birds and bats, and other effects on local environments. The new small turbines will soon be available in Byron, and they are said to be almost silent and visible to birds. They generate energy via the outer ring of the turbine housing using multiple small blades, rather than a central generator, and promoters say it can cope with the wind turbulence that occurs in residential areas. James Sturch from Planet Energy Solar discussed the new turbines at the energy forum in Mullumbimby earlier this month, which resolved to set up a local renewable energy co-operative in the northern rivers. High upfront costs of the turbine are said to be competitive with solar panels, potentially paying for themselves within a decade, according to Mr Sturch.

The costs of renewable energy were the subject of a report from Australia’s Productivity Commission released this week, as the federal government edges closer to setting a price on carbon. That report argues that subsidies to small-scale solar systems are an expensive way to reduce emissions, and while it found wind less expensive, emissions trading systems were seen as most efficient. Assessing emission reduction policies around the world, the Productivity Commission found the United Kingdom and Germany leading the race, though their populations were now paying more for their power. Germany offers generous subsidies to its renewable energy industry, which employs almost 400,000 people, and the nation is also leading Europe in wind energy production.

Mullum art gallery opens Photo & story Eve Jeffery

Potters and patrons were pleased as punch with the long awaited opening of the Mullumbimby Community Art (MCA) Gallery on Sunday afternoon. The gallery looked first rate and the work on display was of an extremely high standard. The gallery came into being when, six months ago, the empty Audrey Hoving Studio behind the Old Drill Hall in Mullumbimby became a space of vision for the small group of potters using the adjacent work room. The idea was born to have an area for locals featuring 3D art works. Now that the gallery is officially opened, the group will occasionally use the space for exhibitions of individual artists and groups. The first is planned for September. The gallery is run by a subcommittee of Mullumbimby

President of the Mullumbimby Community Art Gallery committee, Ellen Flounders, and potters Malcolm Gotjes and BC with some of their art works.

Bangalow school upgrade MP Justine Elliot officially opened a $2.125 million upgrade for the Bangalow Public School on Friday. The funds went towards a new multipurpose hall and covered outdoor learning area, as well as a refurbishment of school facilities. All these resources were delivered as part of the Gillard Government’s Building the Education Revolution (BER). ‘These projects provide valuable learning opportunities for our children and supported the employment of many local workers. This is what we strived to achieve – this is the essence of the Economic Stimulus Plan,’ Justine said. She added, ‘The BER has given schools like Bangalow Public School the resources they need to help ensure that a quality education can continue to be provided by our hardworking teachers in our local schools.’

Chamber hosts Simple Pleasures Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce has announced it will again host the annual Brunswick Heads Simple Pleasures Photography Competition. The theme for 2011 is ‘Happiness is… Brunswick Heads’. The aim, according to or-

Three months on, the Fukushima radioactive spill continues

Photo & story Eve Jeffery

After five and a half years with the Anglican Parish in Mullumbimby, the Reverend Ben Gilmour was farewelled on Sunday during a luncheon with parishioners. The Anglican community took the opportunity to show Ben their appreciation for his time and service. ‘Ben’s easygoing, caring and compassionate nature has endeared him to young and old alike,’ says parishioner Anne Wareing. ‘The parish now has a thriving youth group and a welfare program that serves those in need. He has been involved in ecumenical services bringing the various Christian churches

together in worship. ‘His drive, vision and energy have lifted the profile of the Anglican Church within the community and seen the completion of several initiatives such as the restoration of the bell tower and solar power for the parish.’ Ben says that though he is looking forward to his new post at Paddington in Sydney, he will miss the community he is leaving behind. ‘I love how the people here pull together in time of need,’ says Ben. ‘It is a privilege to be a part of these people’s lives from weddings to baptisms and even funerals. I am going to miss the generosity, the love and the compassion shown by the people in this area.’

Saturday June 11 marked three months since the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, which triggered the nuclear meltdowns in Fukushima. Radiation is still pouring into the sea, ground and air. Despite the inclement weather, a few hardy souls assembled at Main Beach, Byron Bay this week, to show solidarity with the people of Japan. An organiser said, ‘Both the Mirrar people of Kakadu, Aus-

tralia – where some of the uranium used in the reactor was sourced – and the Ainu people of Japan, have expressed their strong intention to see an end to the uranium cycle.’ Byron Bay anti-uranium activists will be visiting Canberra for the Beyond Nuclear Initiative on June 14.

Paid parking

Council’s agenda-packed day was a gruelling schedule; it lasted from 10.38am to 6.28pm. All councillors were in attendance. Here are some highlights – the minutes from the meeting are available on council’s website: www.byron.nsw.gov.au.

Council have endorsed the expenditure of S94 funds to carry out a complete review of car parking rates. Council will also defer consideration of new on-street paid parking across the Shire for a period of 12 months to allow for an assessment of other options for revenue raising, traffic mitigation and tourism-created infrastructure cost mitigation. On-street paid parking will also be studied as part of the detailed traffic analysis for the Bangalow and Brunswick Heads townships. Council will defer consideration of on-street paid parking within Mullumbimby for a period of 12 months after the opening of the Woolworths supermarket.

South Golden Beach Hall acquisition A successful motion by Cr Richardson and Mayor Barham will see whether Section 94 funds can be used to acquire the land that the South Golden Beach (SGB) hall is built on. Market valuation and consultation with the state government will also be sought. Council will also seek clarification from the relevant state government body as to the possibility of securing a long– term lease. Mayor Barham said it was about the control of assets. A foreshadowed motion by Crs Tucker and Morrisey called for SGB hall committee and Crown Lands Division consultation. Cr Tucker said, ‘The land is owned by the Crown, and there is no threat from it being taken away. It’s whipped-up fear and poor politics.’ Cr Tucker had a completely different take on the YAC building in Byron Bay from Mayor Barham. ‘We didn’t manage it well,’ he said. Only Cr Tucker voted against the motion.

One keen council camper. After morning public access – where residents address council – the gallery thinned out to one solitary member by mid-morning. After midday, Fast Buck$, aka John Anderson, left the building.

Furthermore, input from the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) and Local Traffic Committee will be sought along with further noise and air quality assessments.

Byron Swimming Pool lease Council resolved, as Reserve Trust Manager, to grant a further 12-month lease and management contract to current managers Fishheads.

Why ask technical details you know nothing about? ‘It’s unnecessary to the DA… It’s grasping at straws as to why it can’t go ahead. Staff recommended it.’

Louise Owen said the Lenx Sk8 committee would promote the skate park as a positive sporting and leisure area for the community. Though there has been some concern about the skate park becoming a nightly youth hangout, Ms Owen said the committee is determined to make sure the park has a positive community atmosphere. ‘We’ve been very quick to jump onto any negative activity and we’ve also got strong support from the police,’ said Ms Owen. ‘The skate park has had a settling-in period, but people are aware that we’re doing something positive for the community.’ Lenx Sk8 member, Blake Gilmore, said the skate park is a great space for the community and Lenx Sk8 would help foster youth involvement. ‘We want to get the younger guys on board, to get them involved in their community,’

he said. The Lenx Sk8 committee is planning to organise events throughout the year for Lenx Sk8 club members and together with Skateboarding Australia promote Lennox Head as a skating hub. Designer of the Lennox Head skate park, David Clancy of Oasis Skate Parks, said the town had waited a long time for such a facility. ‘It’s been a long slog for the community to get their park and they’ve finally got it and they’re

very happy with it,’ he said. The park includes a 1.5mdeep mini-bowl, banks, ledges and grind rails. Lenx Sk8 has just received $15,000 from the government to improve the aesthetic appeal of the skate park. Current ideas include a sculpture or a mural. The skate park cost approximately $180,000 and was built as part of the Lennox Head Cultural and Community Centre development by Ballina Shire Council.

Three music stages, market stalls, workshops, food stalls, bonfires, a chai tent, fire twirling, a chill-out area, circus acts and movie screenings are all planned. The festival marks the start of the humpback whale migration along the east coast of Australia, and will also be the launch of a new environmental organisation, Positive Change for Marine Life.

and brought a huge change. ‘This book is my way of expressing how important I feel this period in time was, and we need to remember it.’ The book will be launched at 3pm as part of The Echoes of Aquarius festival, to be held at Durrumbul Hall, Main Arm, on Saturday June 25. Profit from sales of the book will help the Roundhouse Action Group offset some the costs incurred when preparing the plan for the Ocean Shores Cultural Centre. More on the entertainment line-up for the festival will be announced in next week’s Echo.

New food festival for Byron Shire

Local community fundraisers

Victoria Cosford

The Mullumbimby Christian School will be hosting a fundraiser on Thursday June 16. All the funds raised on the evening will go towards helping cover medical costs of a school mum, say organisers. The fundraiser will be at the school on Main Arm Rd, Mullumbimby, from 4.30pm to 7.30pm. Musician Pete Murray’s first gig in the area in three years will be performing for the Eureka Public School fundraiser. Tickets are available from the Eureka Public School on 6688 4272 or the The Mullum Bookshop on 6684 1413. The event is on Friday June 17 at The Mullumbimby Civic Hall from 7pm. ABC TV’s Kerry O’Brien will be MC for Mullum High’s fundraiser gig on June 18. Entertainment will also be from Lisa Hunt and band, and all funds raised will go towards the purchase of a sunshine coach for the Support Unit at Mullumbimby High School.

A new food festival will take place in Byron Bay on September 10. Called ‘Sample – A Taste of Northern NSW’, it will be held at North Byron Events at North Beach (the former Becton site), and will feature a farmers market, restaurant marquees, cooking and lifestyle demonstrations and a gala dinner in the evening. Food festivals have been markedly absent from the Byron Shire since 2007 when the Lions Club-organised Taste of Byron was held. That twoday event was held at Denning Park, Main Beach, and attracted around 10,000 people. Organiser of the Sample festival, Remy Tancred, told The Echo that the gala dinner was already a quarter sold, and the festival would be catering for everyone. ‘There’ll be a kids’ area with alpacas and rabbit-petting,’ she said. ‘There’ll be live entertainment and professional artist

Gala dinner chefs : from the back row – Jo Griffen, Karl Kanetani, Scott Frost, Adam Smith. From front – Peter Flemming, Gavin Hughes, Monique Guterres-Harrison and Katrina Kanetani. Photo supplied

Mark Waller is coming to do a huge mural with the children.’ The twenty restaurant marquees will operate from 9am to 3pm, serving up $5 and $10 tasting plates which will then be assessed by judges Belinda Jeffery, Steve Snow and SMH’s Good Food Guide editors Joanna Savill and Barbara Sweeney.

There will be cooking classes for both adults and children with Leah Roland, principal of the Bangalow Cooking School, and garden and kitchen tips shared by gardening ‘guru’ Phil Dudman and Julie Ray. For more information and to book the gala dinner visit www.samplennsw.com.

The tax-free benefits of donating to public schools Victoria Cosford

Thanks to its P&C, Byron Bay Public School has come up with a project to raise money for general school facilities. It has developed two taxdeductible funds to facilitate the private funding of areas not covered under the normal school or public education system budgets. One is the Library Fund and the other is the Building Fund. A recent article in The Sydney Morning Herald discussed the significant contributions made by P&C committees in public schools. It cited that some Sydney P&C groups were contributing more than $200,000 a year to their children’s schools, raised through fetes, fireworks nights and cake stalls. Principal of Campsie Public School Phillip Irvine said that when schools were travelling well they usually had a

healthy P&C that contributed and worked with the principal. Byron Bay Public School’s P&C Committee is appealing to the public to make donations to the Library Fund and the Building Fund, both tax-exempt.

Third lowest in funding education Committee member Iphraim Sella told The Echo that he had been informed that some parents who had chosen the school over private ones have decided to donate the amounts they would otherwise pay in fees for as long as they could afford to do so – and that perhaps other parents could follow suit. Major funding programs established under the Rudd government are due to finish in the next three years. According to an analysis of the federal budget by a University of Sydney academic, Dr

Jim McMorrow, federal support for public schools would fall as much as six per cent in real terms during that period. An OECD report on education shows that Australia spends less money on public education than most other industrialised countries, ranking it third lowest among 28 countries in funding for public schools. This is despite Australia being the fourth highest in funding for private schools. President of the Byron Public School P&C Committee Tim Gotterson told The Echo that the idea behind the tax-deductible funds was to make them more attractive to invest in. ‘The gist is that over time public school funding has been eroded and therefore this need has arisen,’ he said. ‘Technology is an always expanding area and we need to fund that – there’s this timelag when public school funding

comes through at a time when technology becomes obsolete. ‘So this is to try and bring us more in tune with technological advances. ‘Electronic whiteboards, for example, can be of great advantage for learning and the P&C Committee has been fundraising to acquire these.’ Anyone wishing to donate to either of the two funds is asked to call the office of Byron Bay Public School on 6685 6557.

Rocking chairs rock While researching gadgets for a feature I came across the latest incarnation of the rocking chair – the prototype Empower, designed for public places. Ryan Kilner’s invention, made from recyclable materials, can be set up from a flatpack in, say, airports or council reception areas, and used as a recharger for portable devices such as mobile phones and iPods. The kinetic energy generated by rocking back and forth is stored in a lithium ion battery attached to the recharger. LED lights let you know when your device is charged. What most gadget reports don’t mention is the benefits of the gentle exercise and serenity achieved through rocking. It’s perfectly acceptable public behaviour for the stressed who might otherwise curl up in a foetal position, especially in the council reception area while waiting for a development application to be assessed. It’s also a sneaky way for parents to engage their gadget-obsessed children in physical activity; in a sense a rocking chair re-creates the comforting yet exciting sensation available from those electric ponies which once graced the fronts of supermarkets and shopping malls. Whether a device for recharging gadgets or not, the rocking chair could be an essential tool in the transition from a highcarbon, high-pressure, high-bullshit society to a more earthfriendly one. It’s an easy way to unwind and release stress without screaming or bashing pillows – an acceptable public therapy. It encourages friendly conversation, and possibly even cuddling, when rockers are in tandem. Old folks – and I will be among them shortly when I get my longed-for Seniors Card – intuitively understood the value of kinetic energy on a slow scale, the rocker’s yantra of mellow motion which soothes the savage breast. The rocking chair revolution will not be televised. It will come upon us quietly in parks and gardens and reception areas. Next week: the value of whittling and shouting obscenities from the front porch. Michael McDonald, factotum

ony Abbott is taking what comfort he can from the Productivity Commission’s report on carbon pricing. Yes, it shows that Australia is not lagging behind the rest of the world as Ross Garnaut and others have warned; actually we are about in the middle ranking. And the Greens’ insistence on promoting renewable energy is a high-cost and inefficient way of cutting greenhouse emissions. And no other country has embraced an across-the-board carbon tax, and in particular none of the other big coal exporters are considering taxing their miners. So far so good. But then comes the crunch: if you want to get the best bang for your buck in reducing carbon emissions, by far the most cost-effective measure is putting a price on carbon. Other ideas, like planting trees, burying carbon, subsidising solar panels or putting agricultural ethanol in petrol may sound more appealing, but in practice they are a horrendously expensive way of achieving very little. If you are serious about policy, rather than politics, you will implement an emissions trading scheme, or, as a first step, a carbon tax. And herein lies Abbott’s dilemma. He claims that he is indeed serious about the policy: he accepts that climate change is real, that the scientific verdict must be accepted, that man-made carbon emissions have upset the normal balance and that they should be tackled. He has a so-called direct action plan to do so, a plan which, in the short term at least, is totally painless. He has been able to get

away with this because much of his support comes from people who are among the sceptics, deniers, and selfinterested; they either do not believe that climate change is real, or if they concede it is they either don’t care or they don’t believe we can or should do anything about it. But this is not Abbott’s posi-

Abbott will have to either formally join the sceptics or perform the greatest policy backflip of all time. by Mungo MacCallum tion – or at least, not his public stance. He wants to be seen as action man, and until now has been able to claim that his plan is an acceptable alternative – sure, his opponents have criticised it, but they would, wouldn’t they? We need an objective report. Well, now he has one. Notably he has not tried to discredit it: the Productivity Commission is, after all, a highly respected independent body originally set up by the coalition – the very authority Abbott himself appealed to in his earlier attacks on the National Broadband Network. Instead, he has cherrypicked the findings that suit him while disregarding the killer watermelon at the heart of the findings. But it won’t work; eventually he will have to either formally join the sceptics or perform the greatest policy back flip of all time. He will at least have the satisfaction of watching Julia Gillard explain to the Greens that their own direct action

ohn Faulkner’s despair at the present state of the Labor Party is hardly news, but it just may be the signal for some of the party’s heavies to accept that the time for reform has finally come – that if the ALP is to have a viable future as a broad-based political movement, it must give its dwindling membership some genuine say in determining its policies and in selecting the people who will attempt to implement them. Given the widespread loathing of the current crop of faction bosses, not only within the party but among the general public, the atmosphere should be propitious. The only problem is that the revolution needs the support of the leadership, and Julia Gillard, who owes her prime ministership to the aforementioned warlords, is hardly the person to provide it. The victims – Kevin Rudd, and in New South Wales, Nathan Rees and Morris Iemma – are ready to stand up, but by definition no longer have the clout

to rally the troops. And this lack of leadership is part of the problem: even if the machine were reformed to empower the rank and file, why would anyone want to join the Labor Party – or the Liberal Party, or the National Party – in the first place? There is no longer any real sense of purpose and direction, let alone excitement or fun. If you are an idealist in search of a cause, formal politics are a very bleak alternative to what is available outside – GetUp being the most obvious example. The malaise need not be permanent – 2007 showed that there is still the enthusiasm out there, waiting, almost begging, to be harnessed. But it will take more than a few structural rearrangements if Labor is ever to recapture that first fine careless rapture. As the casualties mount, our political and military leaders continue to talk up Australia’s commitment to the war in Afghanistan. But there are signs that public support is on a steep decline. And why not? At the time of the invasion nearly ten years ago, the aim was clear and well defined: break the power of Al Qaeda and capture or kill Osama bin Laden. Both, it appears, have now been achieved; so why are we still there? Well, to train the Afghans to defend their fledgling democracy, or something equally vague and unlikely. We’re there because we’re there. This was the kind of justification we were asked to believe in the latter years of the Vietnam commitment and we all remember how that ended. So this time let’s give our troops in Afghanistan the support they deserve and need. Bring them home.

On Thursday June 2 there was a Biodiversity and Sustainability Advisory Committee meeting. It was concerning the off leash dog walking beach at New Brighton. They allowed representation at the meeting for any interested parties. NPWS was represented and also Belongil Bird Buddies as they have an interest. Fair enough. As the president of BARCO Inc ( Brunswick Area Responsible Canine Ownership) I was very interested in making a representation. But when I phoned the council the Monday before they (without going into detail) avoided answering me and said they would get back to me. I was waiting for a phone call to advise me that I could go along, but alas no call. They did not enquire as to who I was or show interest. Therefore this meeting, as far as I am concerned, was run in a biased and unethical manner. All of the people who live in

Byron Shire should be alarmed at this one-sided attitude. How often does this happen? Everyone in the community has the right to make representation if it relates to them. This was totally undemocratic and unjust. For the record, the Advisory Committee will recommend to Council that the New Brighton Beach dog walking area to be severely reduced down to approximately 600m. This is not acceptable. We are justified in demanding fair representation to present reasons for maintaining the need for existing or equivalent dog walking beach exercise area.

dog came in leaps and bounds towards Billy (who was on a lead), so I swiftly picked him up into my arms and spent the next few minutes trying to protect Billy and control this ferocious dog. This is while the owner watched on (along with two other ladies), crying out, ‘I don’t know what to do!’ Doing something would have been better than nothing, I say. Maybe scream out its name, pull it away, break it up somehow?! That would be my natural reaction. It took her far too long to grab her dog so Billy and I could escape, and even then she was shouting out that she couldn’t hold on for long – ‘Just run.’ Statistics show that Staffordshire terriers are in one of the top four dogs involved in dog attacks in Australia. We hear so often that they make a great family pet, but they are potentially very dangerous to other dogs and people also. It is the

responsibility of the dog owner to have control over their much-loved pet in public places to protect other dogs and people. Clearly this dog owner at the Bangalow oval had none! She reportedly also had the audacity to say that it was my fault and that if I had thought that there was going to be a problem, I should have walked the other way. This would not have happened if she simply had the dog on a lead, which is the rule at the Bangalow oval. Has she not seen the signs? Billy and I were very fortunate to escape with little injury. Both of us are just dealing with the shock and trauma of it all. It is the last time I will ever take Billy to the Bangalow oval. Walking your dog is meant to be a relaxing pastime but unfortunately due to some selfish dog owners it can become a bloody battle! It’s not for me.

Not surprisingly every decent person confronted by images of animal torture in Indonesia has shown outspoken dismay. What should not be overlooked is what has not been disclosed. It should not be a case of ‘out of sight, out of mind’. We should not need to be confronted with more images from Hell to know of the horror that right now faces sheep, as well as cattle, in other recipient countries. The Meat and Livestock Authority has known of and accepted this situation for years! We have to realise that Australia is a willing party to cruel exploitation of animals for profit.

Has it occurred to him that people like Mungo, Ray, Victoria, John, Mandy, Mary et al, who have weekly columns, actually have qualifications other than being whingeing stirrers? I look at his letters each week and see the same old list of complaints. Until he has something new to add to a debate, I propose that The Echo should be made a ‘Buck$ Free Zone’. Penny Fox

Little green frogs

I had little green frogs coming to sit on my veranda the past two nights. I have to be careful

where I tread. They do this every now and then. A couple of years ago I kept a diary on them and they seemed to always turn up like this a few days before seriously heavy weather. Today is Tuesday, June 7. It’ll be interesting to see if they are still on the mark regarding the weather.

physical rubbish that flows from the storm water pipe onto Main Beach is not being removed by Council. Instead when the council grader digs a trench to release this toxic water into the ocean, they are also grading the rubbish (plastic, cigs, etc) directly into the ocean. This is being Peggy Balfour done in the wee hours of the Mullumbimby morning when no-one can supposedly see. Rates include Stop the drainage a storm water levy. For what? Re George Graham’s letter last Peter Duke Byron Bay week about the dirty brown drainage swamp on Main Beach and the festering unsafe Unexpected voting water that Council has refused A few weeks ago I challenged to deal with. The buildup of anyone to find an instance

where Ross Tucker and the Council staff had disagreed over a planning application. Well it’s finally happened! The matter under consideration was a recommendation by the staff that Byron Services Club be granted a five-year lease over its parking area which is currently owned by Council. The controversial bit, as pointed out by a concerned local businessman, was the further proposal that the club be given the option to buy the land after five years; such a sale would alienate, they said, the last remaining exit point for any future bypass. Now given that only last year

Council voted to grant the club a lease with the express provision that with 12 months’ notice such lease could be cancelled, it was a bit cheeky of staff to propose such a radical turnaround. Their reasoning was that since Council last year voted to withdraw from the bypass plans as then extant the land in question would not be needed. Mmmm. The debate proceeded with amendments and questions from the councillors (the staff report, as ever, was silent on crucial points) until Cr Tucker, surprisingly, moved that Council retain ownership of the land in perpetuity.

words he directly contradicted what the staff proposed and I notice that Cr Staples was as stunned as I was. Though Ross Tucker is not ‘the boss’ of the Council staff, one notes that he is the longest serving councillor, that he has his own publication the Saturday Sneer, and that no-one from his side of politics ever really crosses him in the way that we on the left routinely do our own. Add to this the observation that no-one from his side of politics has ever run against him without directing preferences his way, and you have a figure which incoming staff might well regard with some awe. Let’s just say that there has been an amazing ‘synchronicity’ between what he wants and what the staff end up recommending as desirable. So what went wrong this time? Maybe Ross simply saw the writing on the wall, realised that the sale wouldn’t be supported, and feared too that he might ultimately be blamed for foiling a bypass. Certainly with Mullum Woolies soon to open he probably has enough controversy on his plate right now. If the community boycott succeeds even partially, he’ll end up with a certain amount of egg on his face. Fast Buck$

The Australian Government offers two types of financial assistance for child care: the Child Care Benefit and the Child Care Rebate. You may still be eligible for the Child Care Rebate even if you don’t receive the Child Care Benefit.

It pays up to 50% of your out-of-pocket expenses per child per year up to an annual cap.

The Rebate helps to cover the costs of any approved child care, including out of school hours care.

If you use approved child care for work, study or training, you should check your eligibility.

From July the Rebate could be paid fortnightly, directly to your child care service or to you. You could still choose to receive the payments quarterly or annually.

Twice recently I have sadly viewed on ABC TV at parliamentary question time politicians presenting eulogies covering the latest batch of servicemen who have died in the futile Afghanistan conflict. First there was a sergeant who was killed (and six of his group wounded – maybe horribly maimed) and then a further two killed in separate happenings. After ten years when we were first swept up in the paranoia of the USA following 9/11 and entered Afghanistan, we still seem to have failed miserably to curtail the activities of the Taliban (once our friends, might I say). We were there to eliminate Osama Bin Laden and train the local military to look after themselves and their country – along democratic lines of course. Well, Osama has had the chop (probably leaving behind a dozen good lieutenants) but as for the military – they must be slow learners. As a side issue, there has been no attempt to destroy the extensive poppy fields which are the source for maybe 25 per cent of the world opium demand as well as providing funds for the Taliban. A puzzling thing (in my dull comprehension) is that both political parties in federal parliament dance to the same tune – we must stay inAfghanistan until the job is done. What job? For another ten years? The Russians had for some years previously applied great pressure in Afghanistan and www.echo.net.au

Nuclear power and clean energy I was amazed to read Wal Dyer’s letter (Echo, June 7) promoting nuclear power after the Fukushima meltdown and the loss to Japan of a 60 km wide swathe of its limited territory and sea for thousands of years. Need I mention the hundreds of thousands of additional cancer deaths which will accumulate into the future. If nuclear is fine let’s all eat the Fukushima seaweed sushi rolls – it’s going cheap for the next thousand years. Or wait a while, the radioactive atoms are being transported around the planet via all manner of living things. Wal must be reading the fossil-fuelled literature which is desperately trying to concoct credible fantasies opposing and delaying renewable energy. His example of exclusive solar thermal is a distortion because proposals are for half the power coming from wind. Also it avoids acknowledging that the seventh largest desert in the world is in India: Thar Desert. I doubt that India would have a problem setting aside a patch of that for solar thermal. By my calculation, 20 per cent of the Thar Desert would power the entire Indian population to our level, including 100 per cent electric transport and industry. Meanwhile life could continue under and between the mirrors. The Andersol plant Wal mentioned uses the outdated parabolic trough mirror system and was not the Gemaso-

lar power tower plant which I referred to. This system collects heat more efficiently and stores heat at higher temperatures for more efficient conversion to electrical energy. It is one of the downsides of the internet that people can envelop themselves in a narrow belief bubble concocted and sustained by regressive money machines busily dragging our ecosystem towards oblivion.

paid scant regard to collateral damage yet, in the end they slunk away defeated, as we will in due course. The Russians must be laughing their heads off at our naivity in pursuing an impossible dream, elimination of a presumed terrorist threat said to be centred in Afghaniatan, ignoring the obvious that there are probably hundreds of could-be terrorists strategically placed in many countries around the world, even in Australia. Why can’t we call it a day,

withdraw our tiny and ineffective forces, and allow the Afghan states to settle their own affairs as they have always done? How many more mothers’ sons must die before we admit defeat and eliminate those painful eulogies which now seem par for the course in federal parliament?

The Bill overrides Northern Territory law as well as important Indigenous heritage and environmental protection legislation. The vexed question is what to do with nuclear waste? Do we want it here in Byron Shire? Is it fair to ask others to harbour it? Do we want to mine uranium at all when there is no answer to the disposal of high-level waste any where in the world? But make no mistake about it; despite Julia Gillard’s soothing sounds about ‘no nuclear power in Australia’ post Fukushima, Labor is hellbent on continuing uranium production with Martin Ferguson, Minister for Resources, asserting only yesterday that it is vital for Australia’s future. He may have been listening recently to the outgoing CEO of Woodside, backing the call by the chairman of Rio Tinto ‘for Australia to embrace nuclear power’ (SMH, May 7), just the boys to get it all happening for him! Frackin’ hell, when will the mining industry stop plundering this gorgeous planet, trailing their toxic taint? Even the seabed next year will be subjected to the gouging of robots foraging for minerals in the waters of Papua New Guinea (Catalyst, ABC1, June 9) with no idea of how to repair the damage done or even what it will be. Give Gaia a break!

hearing people railing against ‘crazy drivers’. Is this the latest whinge fad? Move on already! I am the first to admit I am not the best driver in the world, but geez even I get crazy on the roads around here sometimes. Is it really necessary to drive 20 in a 50 zone, or 60 in the 80 zone, 70 in a 100 zone? I know it is great for all you slowpokes out there with nothing to do and all day to do it in; you can check out the scenery or look at what your friend has hanging on their clothes line,

but please have some consideration for those in this shire who do have jobs or appointments to go to. Be considerate and pull over and let others pass while you navel gaze. We would be extremely grateful and then perhaps not ‘drive like idiots’ because you have not gone 15 to 20 km/h under the speed limit and braked for every corner.

Taken for a ride on paid parking pros and cons Everyone in our tiny shire benefits from Byron’s biggest industry – tourism. Yet the Byron Bay CBD does a lot of the heavy lifting. Byron CBD mostly has a one-hour parking limit when the Shire’s other townships enjoy two-hour parking. The retail rents in Byron CBD are around $10,000 a month for a typical shop – many times more than any other shire CBD. That means a shop has to turn over around $25,000 a month just to cover the rent!

Q

And that doesn’t include wages, power and other overheads. These rents may have been OK if retailing had remained on the upward trajectory of ten years ago – but it hasn’t. Byron has fallen from favour, especially for families. The GFC changed spending habits. Ten years ago credit was easy and Australians were spending $1.10 for every dollar we earned. Now we’re only spending 65 cents in the dollar and paying off our mortgages. The strength of the Aussie

dollar is keeping foreign visitors away in droves and encouraging us to holiday overseas. Over seven million Aussies took their holiday money offshore last year. The last two holiday seasons in Byron actually saw retail turnover fall during school holidays because regular visitors went overseas! And the La Nina weather pattern didn’t help. The markets have been a disaster. While other towns in the Shire on much lower shop rent can hunker down, put off staff,

or even close up shop in the quiet season, Byron CBD has to keep trading just to pay the rent! Byron Bay retailers are bankrupting or hanging on by their fingernails. Many shops are losing staff or closing down, with knock-on consequences that affect us all. Losing 46 CBD parking spaces last year was ‘unhelpful’ and needs to be reconsidered. Using parking fines as a major revenue earner is an assault on our visitors, and shows an ap-

palling lack of gratitude and common sense. Many millions more circulate through the Shire from happy visitors than is raised from lousy fines. The introduction of paid parking may well be the straw that will break the camel’s back. I support the stand being taken by Byron United and implore Council to thoroughly investigate the impact of paid parking before introducing a measure that may just kill the town.

Q Interesting to hear the concerted howl over a Council proposal for parking charges. In Byron Shire everything is the council’s fault – even the closure of Byron’s only CD shop, according to its owner. A few facts: Byron Shire has a very small rateable base of around 14,500 dwellings. We have one of the highest rainfalls in Australia which combined with being the state’s second most popuMichael Balson lar tourist destination means Upper Wilsons Creek we have the state’s most holey roads. Our tourists add massively to the Shire’s overflowing bins. Recreational areas too are clearly under tourism pressure. Yet if you compare the number of nights locals sleep in Byron beds each year with tourists sleeping here, the tourists make up 28 per cent – all using Byron’s facilities. And that ignores day tripper costs. The Labor state government repeatedly refused to allow a bed tax on tourism. So who picks up the 28+ per cent impost that tourism, our biggest industry, adds to Byron Council’s ratepayers? All Byron Shire needs is one dollar a year from every tourist that comes here. But how, without State government legislation? Questions: Q1. When are the council’s critics going to demand state government provide Council with adequate income or allow a bed tax? Q2. When are those who profit from tourists coming here going to make a voluntary contribution to our Shire’s costs? In particular I am thinking of our very big festivals, our very many backpacker and other accommodation providers, our very popular pubs, the bus companies that pour visitors into Byron, the nightclubs, language schools, audio schools, the surfing and kayaking schools. Q3. How much? Proportionate to profitability seems sensible. Why aren’t the big boys, living in the mansions around our hills (and many in cities beyond our Shire and state), contributing more than rates? Many believe in giving back to the community. Many don’t. If all the above is irrelevant, would our Council’s countless critics please explain how Council is supposed to fill our potholes and empty our bins?

North Coast parents are not alone in feeling confused about how to resolve problems with teenage behaviour. Media reports often focus on the negative behaviour of adolescents. Parents are then in the spotlight for not containing their offspring. This is hard when there appear to be few answers to work with. Arguments and negative emotions often erupt when parents try to establish boundaries. Parents realise they need to have some input into their adolescents’ lives, but they’re often put off by their teenagers’ attitude and behaviour. Why have a conversation with them, if it’s going to morph into an argument? Michael Hawton of Parentshop and adolescent psychologist Peter Chown have teamed up to create ‘Engaging Adolescents’, a three-session workshop for parents to help them gain practical skills for managing their teenagers’ difficult behaviour. Peter Chown believes that parents are desperate for new strategies. ‘My experience was that many parents were floundering in managing the challenging behaviours that adolescents often display. ‘Under pressure from their teens, many parents find themselves resorting to strategies that don’t work and sometimes even undermine the relationship with their adolescent. ‘We wanted to find a way of helping parents to develop

more effective skills and strategies for managing their teens’ behaviour while at the same time looking after their own needs as parents.’ So what does engaging an adolescent actually mean, and how does a parent ever manage to do that effectively? Peter believes that teenagers tend to ‘flex their muscles’ when it comes to asserting independence and need to establish that they have an identity ‘separate’ from the family. ‘This presents parents with a great challenge. It means we need to engage with the adolescent in a different way – a way that still maintains the safety by providing clear boundaries, but also allows for their developing independence. ‘As a teenager gets older, the role of the parent becomes one more of influencing rather than directing. ‘In the course we talk about ways of “engaging� your adolescent in a dialogue around key issues that often create conflict – ie going out at night to parties.

‘We teach parents a model for engaging their teen in a difficult conversation and managing the often strong emotions that arise around their issues.’ According to Peter, the biggest challenge for a parent is to maintain authority without becoming an ‘authoritarian’. ‘It’s about providing the structure and boundaries that a young person needs in their growth to adulthood, while at the same time allowing them reasonable freedom and independence to grow in their own sense of identity.’ For parents who have had few boundaries with their children, Peter believes that while challenging to establish, it’s never too late. ‘I think it’s never too late to start claiming your power as a parent and to build appropriate boundaries. ‘A lot of it is about building the relationship with your teen. In a sense, realising that after they reach adolescence, you a dealing with a “new� person in a way, not just the child that he or she once was.

‘One of the main problems is that parents often lack the skills or a method for how to approach setting boundaries and managing challenging behaviours.

Structure and boundaries ‘What worked when the child was little just doesn’t work anymore! ‘So our aim is to teach parents a set of skills for managing the conversations they need to have with their teens around these difficult issues. ‘But we also spend time looking at how to promote and foster a positive relationship with adolescent.’ Join Peter Chown and Michael Hawton for three consecutive Monday evenings, running from Monday June 30 from 6.30pm t0 9pm at the Byron Shire Council Training Rooms at the Arts & Industry Estate.

Contaminating the medical evidence Ray Moynihan reveals how exaggerated findings are poisoning medical science In the world of medicine, if you’re trying to weigh up the pros and cons of a treatment, the best evidence is said to come from a ‘systematic review.’ This is a summary of all the relevant research and generally more reliable than a single study. Systematic reviews – freely available through groups like the international Cochrane Collaboration – have become something of a gold standard for medical evidence, and there are now thousands of reviews – covering everything from cholesterol-lowering drugs to acupuncture for low-back pain. But while summarising the evidence is a good idea, what’s too often ignored is the fact that a vast and growing proportion of the original studies being summarised were funded by manufacturers, which means they tend to exaggerate their product’s benefits and play down its harms. Summarising that bias doesn’t make it go away. Medicine’s prized evidence base has become debased.

Hidden bias An international team of researchers from across Europe and North America recently examined almost thirty of these reviews – also known as metaanalyses – which had summarised the results of over 500 original studies of top-selling drugs for conditions including cancer and heart disease. But when the researchers took a close look at those 500 original studies, among those which revealed where their funding came from, almost 70 per cent were funded in some way by pharmaceutical companies.

In 2008 research confirmed the world was being fundamentally misled about the benefits of widely prescribed anti-depressants, revealing that many studies with unfavourable results had simply not been published. And now, in 2011, the JAMA paper suggests the vast majority of meta-analyses fail to report the funding source for original studies.

Sponsors get the results they want In the early 1990s, researchers examined over 50 trials comparing popular anti-arthritis drugs, and showed that not one of those trials found its sponsor’s drug to be inferior to a comparator. By 2003, leading researchers demonstrated there was a ‘systematic bias’ across the medical literature, with company-funded studies far more likely to find favourable results for their products than more independentlyfunded trials. In 2005, longtime editor of the British Medical Journal Richard Smith wrote ‘the evidence is strong that companies are getting the results they want’. In 2007 a review of almost 200 studies comparing blockbuster cholesterol-lowering drugs found company funding greatly influenced a study’s outcome. If a study found a positive result for a drug, that study was 20 times more likely to have been funded by the drug’s maker than by the maker of the comparison drug.

Disclosure not enough So how many of the systematic reviews made any mention of the role of drug companies? Only two of the almost thirty recent reviews reported on who had funded the original trials, which means in the vast majority of cases, the sponsors’ influence over results was hidden. These alarming findings were published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA, earlier this year – with researchers concluding key information about potential bias was being left out of influential meta-analyses. If anyone is in any doubt that study sponsorship is associated with more favourable outcomes, you needn’t be. As the authors of the JAMA paper make clear, extensive research has shown ‘conflicts of interest can influence the results and conclusions’ of medical studies. A growing body of reliable data suggests commercial sponsors tend to get the outcomes they desire, raising serious questions about how we are supposed to trust the evidence our doctors are working with.

Criminal Law, Traffic Law & Court Work Family Law, Property, Conveyancing, Wills and Probate

Making funding sources clearer is important – but simply disclosing bias doesn’t make it go away either. Of particular concern are the many sponsored trials which recruit large numbers of people and find very small benefits – where hidden bias could make a useless and potentially harmful pill appear to be an effective treatment. Just as tobacco companies polluted the literature on smoking, and polluting industries try to distort climate change science, pharmaceutical giants and the doctors on their payrolls are poisoning too much medical science with overly positive findings. And it’s likely such bias exists in the studies of many therapies – including complementary medicines. Clearly what’s needed are more rigorous and independent studies, and less marketing disguised as science.

Christchurch deals with aftershocks Belinda Meares

I have just returned from two weeks visiting my family who live near Christchurch and inevitably became immersed in the earthquake saga. I went to the city twice not with the specific aim of wallowing in the wreckage, but to reconnect with friends. What ruins and eradication I did see made my stomach churn and my heart ache. The aftermath of the disaster continues daily, in obvious and less obvious ways. As we know, once the media spotlight moves on to the next breaking story, past disasters slip into obscurity but are far from over. They are ongoing. The Christchurch nightmare began in September last year, when the first earthquake struck. It turned out to be a mere scene-

ing dramas playing out is the fight with the government über-agency CERA (Christchurch Earthquake Recovery Authority) to let people into the dangerous ‘Red Zone’. Since the quake a police cordon surrounds the city centre. Businesspeople whose premises fall within the cordon have had trouble gaining access to salvage equipment and stock, making it difficult for them to Christchurch’s famous cathedral in ruins. Image: www.celsias.com re-establish elsewhere. setter. While aftershocks continued, people coped, cracked hardy and willed their lives and their city back to normal as quickly as possible. But normal never happened. When the devastating February 22 quake hit, the illusion of normality was stripped away. The psychological shock has been as bad as the tangible loss

of life and physical havoc. It may not be over yet: geoscientists are predicting a 23 per cent likelihood of another six-plus aftershocks in the coming year.

Cruel illusion The challenge is to provide some assurance that lessons can be learnt and the city will be made more quake-proof. Evidence of deep trauma is percolating to the surface of this once stoic citizenry. Irate and anguished letters in the daily Press newspaper, reports about increasing domestic violence and alcohol abuse, and an exodus of ‘quake refugees’ indicate the gravity of the situation. There has also been looting, so a large police presence – although welcome – adds to the sense of malaise. How to fathom the fact that the quake has ‘munted’ up to 1,000 buildings in the city’s heart? These will be demolished if they haven’t been already. Many wonderful old stone heritage buildings, the pride of the city and symbol of our attachment to tradition, are irreparable. Their apparent solidity and permanence have proven a cruel illusion. Even the iconic Anglican Cathedral may go, as it is far more damaged than earlier thought. One of the most heartbreak-

Positive aspects There are positive aspects to the situation if you can focus on the long view and cultivate patience. The Red Zone is steadily shrinking as dangerous buildings are secured or demolished. And while some businesses are lost for good, others have relocated, including the Christchurch Press which now operates from a rabbit-warren of portable offices out by the airport. Immediately after the quake there was an outpouring of public goodwill and readiness to help. Though fatigue and, for some, despair are now setting in, the heightened sense of neighbourliness persists. People are voicing their hopes and anxieties more or less in the same breath – the hope is that from this great adversity will emerge a model city of the future that is sustainable, people-friendly, attractive and still distinctively Christchurch. The fear is that this grasp for genuine, inclusive democracy may be frustrated and that decision making will be a top-down, stitched-up affair between bureaucratic powerbrokers and big corporations. Despite the potential for conflict, I like to think that the gutsy and down-to-earth people of Christchurch have as good a chance as any of getting it right.

You can manage menopause naturally Mandy Nolan

Internationally renowned herbalist Ruth Trickey believes that menopause has been poorly managed by traditional medicine and that hormone replacement treatments (HRT), while hiding symptoms, do nothing to manage the varied health complaints that develop at the onset of menopause. Ms Trickey is a guest of SCU for a series of Professional Development Seminars for natural and complementary medical clinicians with a ‘More than Hot Flushes’ talk scheduled that is also open to the public. The major symptoms of menopause are insomnia, mood change and hot flushes. Ruth believes these can be very effectively managed with a more natural approach. ‘Research indicates that if we get women to address their lifestyle before they are sympomatic, then menopause will be less severe. If you eat well, sleep well and exercise then the severity is a lot less. In reality what happens is women are floridly symptomatic when they arrive, they have often have a full-time job, adolescents, ageing parents, in short they have a complicated life.’ According to Ruth there are herbs that can give relief to menopause. ‘The main one for menopause, Black Cohosh, is a very effective herb for hot flushes, although it does interact with a lot of drugs and can

be a problem for the liver. It’s not something we want people to self-prescribe; it’s always significantly better if someone is under the guidance of a professional who knows what is going on. ‘The other herb is for mood change – St John’s Wort. It’s interesting the two herbs both interact with a lot of drugs. For women who are very well and not on a lot of drugs they are easy to slot in, but we don’t advise putting in two reactive herbs without management.’ Ruth notes that thin women will often experience more extreme menopausal symptoms. ‘We have a saying in practice: beware of the thin, anxious menopausal woman. Women put on a bit of weight around menopause, you convert androgens to estrogen in fatty tissue and muscle. It’s ideal that you have good muscle bulk. If you are slight and skinny and anxious you tend to get worse menopausal symptoms.’ At her public forum Ruth will be addressing bone density, how to manage mood change, the recommended Mediterranean diet and cardiovascular disease. ‘Cardiovascular illness kills more women than men and has done since 1985 and noone really talks about it.’ Friday June 24 at SCU Rooom at the Byron Community Centre at 6pm.

This no-nonsense feature highlights local businesses that can help you get ahead and achieve your financial goals.

Smarter by default – Employer Default Super For Staff Years ago, you had to accept the super fund your boss selected for nine per cent super contributions. Put up or shut up, basically! Laws came into effect in 2005 which gave you the power to tell your boss where they could invest your super: it’s called super choice. There’s an exception for some working under industrial awards that force your boss to use certain super funds. NO CHOICE FOR YOU! We can’t all be free! When you begin work, your new employer should give you a choice – (1) use your own super fund (usually from a previous employer), or (2) use their default super fund. It’s a good idea to look into your employer’s default super fund before making a decision. The default fund may have a few nice surprises like ethical investment options that might give you good returns and good karma or perhaps a no-questionsasked insurance policy! The no-questions policy goes like this. As a new employee, if you choose the boss’s default super fund it may come with a life insurance policy for 50,000 for example – no applications or medicals! There may be an income protection policy thrown in as well, again, no questions asked! Insurers call it ‘Automatic Acceptance’ because there is no probing of your medical history. That may be something to consider carefully when looking for some affordable insurance that is easy to get. The cost of the insurance is deducted via monthly premiums from your super balance instead of your take-home pay. This can make insurance achievable for many who would like some cover, but don’t have the available cash or time to spare. So next time you start a new job, ask the boss about the default fund and the noquestions-asked insurance and make an informed super choice.

For the Boss For some employers, super choice legislation was seen as an admin nightmare! What if every employee chooses a different fund? Instead of writing one cheque and payment instruction to one fund (depending on the number of employees), you may now have to write 35 different cheques and payment instructions to 35 different funds! Given that many employees have now chosen their own individual fund, employers are increasingly finding themselves in a multiple payment situation… I will get to a solution for that shortly. As an employer, you should also ensure that other super obligations are met, such as a suitable ‘Default’ fund for your staff that also provides a personal insurance policy with ‘no questions asked’. The insurance options under a default fund is governed by law and minimum levels of cover must www.echo.net.au

be adhered to. If the staff member wants to use the default fund, but cancel the insurance, that is fine; the staff member signs off on the cancellation of the insurance policy, not you. If you make sure that the default choice is a good one, your role as an employer will also indirectly provide an opportunity for staff to set up a financial safety net for themselves and their families with very little effort. Happy staff = happy business. While we are at it, if you run an environmentally conscious business, you might as well check to see if your money (and the staff’s money) in the default fund is being used to invest in and grow other environmentally conscious businesses. That would only turn the wheel of wealth towards similar business one might suggest! Now back to the admin and payment of nine per cent super to multiple staff and their separate funds. Your default fund could use a ‘Clearing House’ system where you pay online to one source for ALL staff at no extra cost! The clearing house will ensure staff are paid their respective super benefits, be it the default fund or any other fund. That might save you and your payroll staff a lot of time, one of the biggest expenses when running business. If you need some assistance with default funds, we can help guide you through the maze.

Good help is hard to find. Or is it? There’s a lot of talk about the labour crisis and the war for talent. But who is doing anything about it? The local skills shortage isn’t going to solve itself. It’s a quiet period in the local tourism and hospitality cycle, but we’re only eighteen months out from a rapid tightening of the labour market as we experience the effects of the resources boom about to hit the nearby Gold Coast. There are viable staffing solutions available to local businesses struggling to meet changing business needs. With the funding and support of various state and federal government initiatives, there are incentives and subsidies available that serve to offer some relief to local businesses while at the same time help to bolster employment within the community. There is no shortage of motivated and willing job-seekers in the local area. Unfortunately, due to social and economic disadvantage, they are largely overlooked by employers. The region has a significant group of motivated and willing individuals who, despite injury, illness or disability, are fighting their own war to get by in a society that continues to overlook the value of their motivation and abilities. There is no end to the skills that these people have to offer. What they do need

is a fair go and an opportunity to prove themselves. The answer to the labour crisis is available locally. I urge local businesses to partner with community-based employment services and become part of the solution.

Making the most of your investments Most property investors are not maximising their returns according to Mitchell Brandtman Quantity Surveyors director Maoibh Russell. ‘Tax depreciation reports are an important consideration for any property investor. Many investors invest in property to gain rental income; however, only a few of them realise that getting a Tax Depreciation Schedule can help them to minimise their Tax exposure’, Mrs Russell said. ‘The depreciation amount makes a significant contribution to the deductions that can be claimed in an investor’s personal income tax assessment.’ Under Australian taxation law, it is recognised that an income-producing property contains elements that can be claimed due to their wear and tear and the effective life of that item. The effective lives are dependent on the acquisition date and vary according to the item. Owners may also be eligible for capital allowance, calculated on the building’s original construction cost. Mitchell Brandtman Quantity Surveyors are recognised by the ATO as cost experts and are qualified to provide tax depreciation reports for investors. They are also a registered tax agent, a new requirement for providers of tax advice. For more information, call 1800 808 289 or visit www.mitbrand.com.

Why are you in business anyway? Who’s your business coach? Obviously, as a business coach and a coach and recruiter of business coaches, I think everybody should have one. Well… I would, wouldn’t I? It’s good to be writing here. I promise I’ll try to be interesting and maybe even useful. I’ll go for funny, sometimes, too. All in 250 words a month. Today I want to ask ‘Why are you in your business anyway?’ Think about it, it’s important. There are disadvantages to owning a business that you don’t get in a job – stress, cash flow (or not), staff problems. You know them, I’m sure. So you need to be clear on why you’d take all this on. When we’re coaching you, we use a very

basic three-step process – Audit, Plan, Action. We work out (with you) what’s going on and what you want to achieve, then we make a plan and write it down. Then we start taking action. I know it’s simple. What did you expect? Ten secrets to world domination? Sorry, there are no secrets. The closest thing to a secret in business is the observation that the biggest difference between those in business and those with a job is that those in business got off their arses and did something. The rest of it is the usual – what are you trying to achieve, what should you be doing about it? Get on with it then! This brings me back to my question. What do you want? Enough money for biscuits? Autonomy? World domination? (It’s up to you.) It’s worth being clear and making sure you steer your business in that direction. It’s easy to let your business be in charge, instead of you. So think about it, write it down. Show your partner. Or your mum. Or your business coach. Jon Dale is a business coach and a director of Small Fish Business Coaching in Marvell Street. If you want to talk to him about your business, he’ll give you a free coaching session, no strings. He says it’s good marketing. Phone 02 6680 8036 or 0402 259 209.

Are you heading overseas? Yes, the Aussie dollar is the stongest ever. Record highs against the greenback have seen record coverage in media. The relevance this has to industries and in particular outbound travellers has created interest in what this ‘means’ and caused a lot of opinion, if not all the facts, from celebrities such as ‘Kochie’ in terms of your travel money. Currency exchange at airport booths are easy targets. In the process, all currency providers are being tarred with the same brush. Really, currency booths at an airport are what a convenience store is to a supermarket. We are usually aware of impending overseas trips weeks, often months, prior. Booking tickets and accommodation and organising travel insurance is done with plenty of time to spare, and yet we’ll still leave foreign currency purchases until the last minute with the cry ‘I’ll just get it at the airport’. You pay for that type of convenience. But there are alternatives to your bank or the airport, such as specialist exchanges with currencies and advice in regards to your trip and its needs. The only way to compare providers, and who has the ‘best deal’, is by asking on the same day of all: ‘How much Aussie will it cost me to buy 1,000 US dollars?’ This way you can see actual cost, without the smoke and mirrors.

Rainforest Rescue

Protects Critical Cassowary Habitat Forever Another piece of the World Heritage value Daintree rainforest has been protected forever with a 14th property purchased by Mullumbimby-based, not-forprofit organisation, Rainforest Rescue. ‘Purchasing and protecting Lot 7 Milky Pine Road is a significant outcome for conservation and for the endangered Cassowary,’ said Kelvin Davies, Rainforest Rescue CEO.

Call to discuss your new home 02 6684 2100 www.e-construct.com.au www.beconstruct.com

The high conservation value of Lot 7 Milky Pine Road PHOTO: LIZ GALLIE has been confirmed by an extensive list of plants recorded in a survey of the property undertaken by Rainforest Rescue volunteers, Allen Sheather and Barbara Maslen. Several rare plants and the fruit of several species known to be Cassowary food plants were found growing there, including the Black Palm – a significant food for the endangered bird during the food-scarce wet season. Mr Sheather and Ms Maslen came across three reasonably fresh Cassowary droppings and several older droppings with germinating seeds during the survey. Rainforest Rescue purchased the diagonally adjacent block, Lot 10 Milky Pine Road, in May 2010, and this latest acquisition extends its protection of critical Cassowary habitat in the Daintree. The property and the surrounding area have been classified as essential habitat for the endangered Cassowary by the Queensland Government. Rainforest Rescue has now commenced fundraising for the purchase of its 15th Daintree property, Lot 83 Rosewood Road. This pristine rainforest property is situated in the Cow Bay area of the Daintree, and the purchase will not only save this precious rainforest, it will also do away with one further development in the Daintree. Human settlement brings with it a host of threats – clearing and fragmentation of the rainforest, introduction of domestic dogs that harass and kill wildlife, increased traffic and road kills and the introduction of weed species – all of which contribute to the degradation of the Daintree’s rainforest ecosystems. ‘When we buy Lot 83, we’ll be adding a sixth property to our Baralba Corridor Nature Refuge, which is made up of our first five protected properties,’ said Mr Davies. ‘The area around our Nature Refuge has one of the highest densities of Cassowaries in the country. The rainforest is very important to these endangered birds. They need intact areas of rainforest to survive and thrive. In return, they play an important role to help the rainforest regenerate naturally. Cassowaries eat the fruits and seeds of the rainforests and then disperse the seeds through their digestive process,’ he added.

HUSKY GAWENDA FROM ‘HUSKY’ AND JESSE LUBITZ OF TIN PAN ORANGE ANSWERED SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR FORTHCOMING STORM IN A TEACUP,

busy touring and recording schedules it’s hard to organise and coordinate. Thanks to Glenn from Vitamin, and to Jesse from Tinpan Orange and Jen Cloher, who have been doing a lot of the day-to-day organising, we get to do this awesome tour!

a concert which proves the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. Featuring the aforementioned artists alongside Jordie Lang, Jen Cloher, Emily Lubitz, Harry James Angus and Liz Martin. This is what Husky and Jesse had to say‌

J: We (Tinpan Orange) have been fortunate enough to play a bunch of festivals over the past few years and we do a lot of touring; it’s through this travel that we often get to meet other musos. We get to hear their songs and get to know each other. It means that we often do have the opportunity to collaborate. With the exception on Liz Martin, who is from Sydney, all the other acts are based in Melbourne and we have toured or performed with each of them at one time or another. This tour is as much ‘hanging out with mates and playing some songs’ as it is ‘collaboration’.

What was the creative impetus for Storm in a Teacup? HG: The only thing better than going to see your favourite singer/musician play is seeing your five favourite singers/musicians play together. Five for the price of one is a pretty good deal.

PETE TIX We have a double pass to see Pete Murray at the Mullum Civic Hall on Friday night. Simply email gigs@ echo.net.au with subject header ‘Eureka It’s Pete Murray!’

J: A couple of years ago Glenn (of Vitamin Records fame) put together a showcase of artists on his label and we performed shows in Melbourne and Sydney. The shows were really great, but they felt a little bit clunky with bands coming on stage for three or four songs and then moving off again. Since then we’ve spoken to Glenn about organising a collaborative show – this time it’s not exclusively Vitamin Records artists – and taking it to the next level where we would perform as one band, all learning each other’s songs. Storm in a Teacup will showcase six different songwriters with one slick band‌ Do musicians get enough chance to collaborate, do you think? HG: I think musos are always up for collaborating and playing together. There’s nothing better. It’s just with

What are some of the positive things that come out of a collaboration? HG: There are lots but I think seeing how other writers/singer/musos operate is really interesting, and collaborating with people who are as talented as the ones I’m on this tour with stretches you. You’ve gotta keep up to survive. Sink or swim. No, that’s a bit dramatic. I think it will just be great fun!

J: We’ll all be playing each other’s songs, adding new sounds to some old favourites and there might even be some all-in jam action. There are some remarkable instrumentalists – Harry Angus, Alex Burkoy, Gideon Preiss and some amazing songwriters – Jen Cloher, Jordie Lane, Emily Lubitz, Liz Martin and Husky Gawenda‌ Who drives the ship so to speak, or is this a cooperative arrangement? HG: Jesse Lubitz from Tinpan Orange and Jen Cloher steer the ship together. Very experienced sailors they are too. Navigating through the storm (in a teacup). This little tour would be lost at sea without them. You’re performing Melbourne, Sydney and Mullum? Is there something different about a regional show? Or couldn’t you be f-d going to Brisbane? HG: I’m not sure why it was Mullum instead of Brisbane. I love playing in Brisbane; the people are always really sweet. But Mullumbimby is just about the most beautiful place on earth, so pretty happy to be going there!

Tell me a little about what to expect on the night?

J: Brisbane? Where’s Brisbane? No, I kid. The whole Mullumbimby area has a fantastically strong music culture  and we’ve always enjoyed playing there. It’s the home of Vitamin Records and the Mullumbimby Music Festival and it’s great to play somewhere outside a capital city.

HG: I’m not sure really. That’s what makes it so damn exciting. I don’t like expectations anyway, I try not to have them.

CATCH STORM IN A TEACUP AT THE MULLUM CIVIC HALL ON SATURDAY. TICKETS THROUGH WWW. MULLUMMUSIC.COM FOR $25.

J: Collaboration is at the heart of music – it can give a whole new angle to a song you’ve played a million times. Hopefully we can build a show that is greater than the sum of its parts‌

MY FAMILY When it comes to how we live our lives in comparison to our parents, most of us pride ourselves on being chain breakers. We’ve done therapy, we’ve looked deep within and we’ve challenged a lot of the status quos that our folks, and our folks’ folks used to guide their lives. For the most part, most of us think we are living our lives more consciously and more self-actualised than the generations that have come before. We make choices based on our individual yearnings, not social expectations. Nowhere is this more evident then in our relationships. Used to be you met a boy or a girl and you tied the knot. Forever. The thought of being with a boy I fell in love with at 18 or 19 fills me with fear. God, I could barely choose a decent haircut back then, let alone a life partner! Marriage is no longer a life sentence. If it doesn’t work then it’s perfectly acceptable to jump ship. Although there’s still a sense of personal failure, the community no longer stigmatises divorce as a kind of social cancer. We’re used to it. In fact, we’re actually surprised if people stay together. I remember meeting a woman with heaps of kids when I was in Sydney recently and I remarked in astonishment ‘Wow! Same Father!’ I have three dads for my five kids. It’s the new normal. So while we pioneer new frontiers for our romantic partnerships and family structures, its time we started to break up with people consciously as well. It’s time we stopped making enemies of ex-partners who happen to be the mothers or fathers of our children, and started to work together. If we could move on from getting ‘stuck’ in the petty struggle for financial dominance and the need to have emotional retribution through settlements, then perhaps we could

pioneer ‘divine divorce’. Lawyers would simply wither and fall away. Children would grow up knowing that people can love each other and then not love each other without instigating war. What is this need we have as humans to punish a person we once loved for eternity? So it went badly? Boo Hoo. Grow up and get over it. We could even mark it with a celebration – Separation Parties and Divorce Doofs! Because hell, the time you really need people bearing pop-up toasters and towel racks is when you’ve been cleaned out. My ex-husband and I have worked hard to have a solid friendship so we can co-parent our children without trauma. What has occurred to both of us is extraordinary. Far beyond the shore of relationship demise, miles from the Beach of Resentment is the Isle of Respect. After the grieving we have discovered that we actually like each other as people. In fact you could say that we have a deep love and respect for each other. We didn’t get to this place until we’d divorced. I was at dinner the other night with my four biological kids (I have a stepdaughter as well) and my ex-husband. My exhusband was holding my baby. An acquaintance I was chatting with nodded in the direction of my group and said ‘so that’s your family’. I didn’t know what to say. Yes. Yes it is. Except that man holding the baby is my ex-husband. He is the father of my son. The baby’s father is my partner. He’s at home. The other kids are the children of another man who’s overseas. And Yes, it’s my family, but there’re a few players not at the table. The poor bloke looked embarrassed. Too much information. But what do you do? It’s complicated. Last weekend I spoke at Step Family Day in Lismore, a new initiative focusing on the challenges blended families face. Even though I split with the father of my two daughters 12 years ago, I remained close to his mother. She was often stuck trying to find a word to describe our relationship. She called me her daughter-in-law, because we were family but there was no words or labels that we could accurately use to connect us. New family structures need new words. They also need more paper. When my daughter drew her family tree recently for a school project she needed to upgrade from A4 to A1. It wasn’t a tree, it was more of a forest of step-siblings, stepparents and a trillion grandparents. For instance, her paternal grandmother married five times. My mother married twice. I have an adopted stepsister. She has had a child and married twice. One in five families are step-families. Navigating the lines that connect us is going to give this generation of genealogists a brain tumour. Our families are no longer linear. They are organisms. So take that definition of ‘MY FAMILY’ and stick it on the back of your Landcruiser. (PS: Do they make black My Family stickers or are all families white?)

hits in what will no doubt be a sold-out concert. The first single from the new album, which was made with uber-producer Tom Rothrock (Foo Fighters, Beck, Elliot Smith), called Always A Winner, is being released this week. The support act for the concert is local indie/folk foursome The Lucky Wonders. This band had huge success last year with their first album Thirteen O’Clock and the accompanying 40-gig tour. Songwriters Emma Royle and WAMI Award winner Jessie Vintila first came together to create live music for puppet show Puppets Break Out, playing an 11-show season in the 2009 Adelaide Fringe Festival. The collaboration was such a success they were inspired to pursue it head on, and formed the core of The Lucky Wonders. Within a few months the duo had enlisted the help of ARIA nominee Anthony Lycenko (Pete Murray, Xavier Rudd, The Beautiful Girls), Ben Franz (The Waifs, Tim Rogers) on bass and lap steel, and Dave Sanders (Rodriguez) on drums. Co-producing with Lycenko at Byron Bay’s Rocking Horse and 301, they created the twelve tracks compiling Thirteen O’Clock, which was to meet overwhelming critical acclaim.

Enjoy the soul-tickling grooves of Lisa Hunt at the Mullum High School Auditorium. To raise money for a bus for the Special Education Unit, everyone is asked to don their best disco garb. Even MC Kerry O’Brien is expected to turn up in a glomesh jump suit. You could have another shot at disco king and queen! 7pm–11pm. Tix at the school. Saturday from 7pm.

Every weekend, taking a break from helping to raise children, fixing walls, cleaning gutters, getting over winter illnesses that the kids bring home from school, four local men get together, strap on some instruments, tune in and become‌Broadfoot. Yes, changing from their mild-mannered midweek clothes, they don the apparel of the gigging musician and blaze away until the early hours doing one of the things they love the most. The apparel can vary enormously in Broadfoot – much like their musical style. Black jeans and tie-dye are popular for one, all purple for another, vintage pants, shirts and jackets as well â€“ enough fashion to keep Mr Humphries in stock on the Grace Bros. floor for some time. This week the destination is the fabulous Billinudgel Hotel, playing in the wake of the beloved Friday night Billi jam of which Broadfoot members were former participants, starting at 8pm.

Drums open for the Lanterns – The Five Elements Opening event on Friday 24 June, Peter Jaggles presents the opening concert called Music From the Percussion Garden at the Lismore Workers Club. ‘The First Half is life, the universe, and the rhythm of everything. People are going to see percussion like they have never seen it before. The centrepiece is a twometre diameter frame drum; it’s arguably the largest diameter drum in Australia. There’s a whole heap of multimedia with it. It’s a spectacular show. The second half is called The Elements and it’s a musical look at the five elements, aether, fire, water, air and wind‌all of those. It’s a six-piece group and it’s all original music. There is a whole heap of experimental percussion instruments being performed. I have done it all my life. I started playing music when I was seven years old, and I’m not a young man. It’s fifty years of percussion.’ Peter is the founder and director of the internationally acclaimed Young Drums percussion orchestra. This is Peter’s followup show to the Young Drums. $25 adults $20 child $15 and family $70. Concession, tix at the club or at Byron Music. This is a family show.

The winner of the $20,000 Award Tamara Dean arrived from Sydney to accept the award which was won with a photo taken of Damien Skipper at Montsalvat, in Victoria during a residency. Tamara Dean said she was ‘so incredibly honoured to win this very special award’. Director’s Choice purchase award went to David Young from Byron Bay with his portrait of Tom. This image is of artist Tom Guppy with his artwork titled Buffalo Wings. This is a fabulous portrait of a young artist, referencing the character of Icarus and the paintings of Breughel and Caravaggio. The Gallery is also pleased to present a new exhibition of paintings by Mullumbimby artist Meredith Crowe, titled A Roark Summer. The small but evocative paintings depict ‘watery’ aspects of landscapes in the Northern Rivers region including flooded turf farms and paddocks, silent dams and mountain faces. While focusing on these

Olive Cotton Award 2011 winner, Damier Skipper 2011 by Tamara Dean of Sydney subjects, the artist investigates the endless compositional possibilities provided by landscapes experienced from the car, on foot, or, through the camera lens. One particular place which fascinates the artist is the Tyagarah Turf Farm. The turf farm floods after heavy rains, making the trees appear suspended in a watery sky. ‘It is wonderful to see Meredith’s work alongside other landscapes currently on display at the Gallery. Her moody but beautifully subtle works are a great contrast to the highly detailed works by Hobie Porter on display in our Foyer–and a fabulous complement the work by Aboriginal artists included in Freshwater Saltwater and the historical depictions of our area in the exhibition Valley of the Tweed, which includes a magnificent work by the renowned artist Elioth Gruner, on loan from the Art Gallery of NSW,’ Miss Muddiman said. Exhibitions continue until 31 July. Admission is Free. Hours Wed-Sun 10–5.

‘My paintings reflect my passion for colour, texture and formal composition. In this series of paintings I was interested in the dislocation of European Dawn Cockatoos II architecture to foreign at Blue Bicycle Gallery lands and the dramatic contrasts between the buildings and the people that inhabit them. This exhibition is inspired by my travels through Cuba, Vietnam, Italy and Morocco. The opportunity to exhibit in such a generous space that would be the envy of any capital city gallery is an exciting prospect for me, says McDougall. Taylor says, ‘I’ve been fortunate to be able to choose a majority of ocean painting for this exhibition. Over the years this has been the focus of most of my work–the energy in and around the ocean encompasses a full range of emotional intensities from the serenity of infinite emptiness to the full power of the unrestricted elements.”’

LISMORE REGIONAL ART GALLERY

Speaking at the opening of the exhibition, director of The Blue Bicycle Gallery, Peter Mortimore said, ‘I am honoured that artists of the calibre of Scott and Neil agreed to showcase their extraordinary work at my Byron Bay gallery. I urge everyone to spread the word and tell their friends to drop in and view this vibrant, colourful exhibition of contemporary realist paintings of the highest quality.’

Light Year From the demure suburbs of East Sydney comes a beast donning a jetpack and straddling a kick drum that can be felt from here to Antarctica. Born in 2009 (year of the Ox) Light Year attained all the qualities needed to become a successful dance troupe. Unbeknownst to the average dancer it was in fact a political statement of love for all things dance that the boys were making with their higher learning anthem Sex Education lifted from their March 2010 EP release Night/Vision. And so dawns a new age of the third coming of Light Year. To the future and beyond – where these young ice-cold powerhouse dweebs reside already – is where you will find a concoction of projects hitting the ground and bouncing up into your ear canals.

Foody Films Screenworks and Santos partner up to bring documentary makers and nutritionists James Colquhoun and Laurentine Ten Bosch to the Northern Rivers to share their experiences and vision on the importance of food and health. After studying nutrition through the Global College of Natural Medicine in California, James and Laurentine realised that the health challenges within their own families were in fact a very real representation of what was happening the world over. As they researched further into the healthcare industry, they felt compelled to share their findings. ‘What we learned throughout this journey was so astounding that we wanted to share it with others, and so Food Matters the documentary was born,’ James explains. The film Food Matters will be screening at Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Thursday June 23rd followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and Santos consultant and Hygienic Doctor PhD Susan Famularo on improving chronic illness with simple life care.

Homegrown Comedy @ OPC!

Standup comedy comes to The Owl and Pussycat in Byron Bay the fourth Wednesday of the month. This is an open mic room which basically means that it’s a venue open to the talents of new and upcoming comedians. Open mic rooms are essential in growing new comedy talent. Without a chance to get up and try their stuff, there wouldn’t be any Ross Nobles or Dave Hugheses. Comedians need to be nurtured tenderly until they are ready to fruit. Some fruit straight away, some take years, and sadly some wither and die! Every month will be hosted by a seasoned professional. This month features Mandy Nolan. Nolan has been at it now for 25 years, and has worked with some of the best in the industry. Austen Tayshus recently declared ‘she’s the best female comedian in the country’. Whether it was true or not is hard to tell, no-one was game to heckle. Wednesday 22 June, 6pm. Tix are $5 or $22 for entry, meal and a drink!

Super 8

You know that you’ll get a lot of bang for your buck when writer/director J J Abrams is at the helm of a big-budget flick such as this. With Steven Spielberg as producer (his imprimatur is all over it), you can also rely on precedence being given to story over effects (spectacular though they are), and on an old-fashioned, positive moral tone asserting itself, with the hopefulness of ET never far away. In the blue-collar town of Lillian, Ohio, Joe (Joel Courtney) and a handful of his junior-high mates are making a short zombie movie that they hope will be selected in an upcoming festival. Joe’s recently widowed father, Deputy Lamb, disapproves of his son’s activities, but must cope with a much more serious problem when a freight train explodes during a derailment, setting free a terrifying but unseen power (in defending his community and protecting his boy, the Deputy’s plight is similar to the Sheriff ’s in Jaws). Thrown into the mix is the element

of young love, as Joe falls head over heals for Alice (Elle Fanning – Dakota’s younger sister), the gorgeous blonde who will be star of the kids’ movie. In a master-class of how to build suspense, Abrams shifts emphasis from the parallel plotlines involving Joe and his father until they become inexorably linked. The outstanding child actors, the perfect, breathless pacing, the refreshing absence of cynicism and the celebration of the art and craft of film-making all combine to create a sense of unsullied youthful adventure. That Dr Woodward survived the collision with the train stretches a friendship, and

how, at the end, the kids got themselves out of the pit is anybody’s guess (it’s as though there has been a whole scene edited out for brevity’s sake), but what the hell – this is, by a country mile, the best sci-fi thriller/monster movie that has come our way for yonks. If you only deign to see one of its genre this year, make it this. ~ John Campbell

Oranges And Sunshine Like father like son. Director Jim Loach, following in his dad Ken’s estimable footsteps, has made a characte-driven film that avowedly steers clear of any mawkish sentimentality that its subject might so easily have succumbed to in less scrupulous hands (ironically, expecting a more lachrymose treatment, I thought it emotionally rather dry). Set in 1986, it follows English social worker Margaret Humphrey (Emily Watson) in her tireless efforts to right the wrongs suffered by thousands of children who were deported by sea to Australia in the 1950s and until the early 1970s. It’s one of those peculiar movies whose audience is made up almost exclusively of those who wish primarily (one suspects) for their own sense

of justifiable outrage to be acknowledged and shared (it’s a sort of communion). Which is to say, it’s a story that ‘needs to be told’, but is told to those already familiar with it. Heartfelt though it is, because there is not much plot, the film is nobbled by having said what it wants to say midway through, after which it is inclined to labour the point, focusing on the inhumane treatment meted out to many of the boys by the Christian Brothers (as a counter, it must be offered that, as with the ‘stolen generations’, those who benefited from their relocations – and there must have been some – are never mentioned). As Len, an unbowed survivor of the regime whom Margaret helps in reuniting with his mother, David Wenham gives a typically idiosyncratic performance that is especially welcome in juxtaposition to Watson’s steady monochrome – the pair singing along with Cat Stevens’s Wild World on the car radio is, oddly, one of the most touching scenes. Putting it all into shocking context (it now reads like a perverted joke) is our spineless government’s intention to wash their hands of any responsibility towards the needy and ship unescorted children seeking

Television Guide 1. Sarah Palin satirist Tina Fey successfully transfers her persona to the big screen in the comedy Baby Mama (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm). 2. As well as being an arsehole in real life, Frank Sinatra plays one in the highly-acclaimed musical Pal Joey (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm) alongside the stunning Kim Novak and Rita Hayworth. 3. The talented Charlize Theron performs a double twist forward pike into the dog of an SF movie Aeon Flux (Eleven, Sunday, 8.30pm), distinguished by its CGI overload and lack of credible scriptwriting. Catch Super 8 at the flicks instead.

E ARIES: This week’s Zap Oracle correctly notes that unsolved

K L IBRA: Saturn’s liberating shakeup in Libra makes it easier

problems are our greatest teachers because they keep us on our toes. Absolutists and fundamentalists want closure, but it takes tremendous patience and inner strength to resist premature solutions. In other words all the way to heaven is heaven… F TAURUS: Wintry weather’s a big incentive for indulging in comfort hibernating and foody, friendly pleasures. All seasonally cozy and astrologically in sync, with midweek full moon prime time for revising priorities – some financial, but more importantly how to give back to existence for its gifts. G GEMINI: With the present star scenario enhancing your personal magic, midweek Sagittarius full moon adds substance to your style and sees you speaking out on important issues. Late week Capricorn moon and your ruling planet Mercury’s move to nesty Cancer place family interactions centre stage. H CANCER: A moon wobble/eclipse combo make this week unauspicious for big decisions, so wait till next week when the full moon overload of weird fears, doubts and uncertainty have dissipated and Jupiter’s thrown down a stabilising anchor before chucking in that job/relationship/creative masterpiece. I L EO: Don’t believe everything you hear or read this week because disinformation’s rife. Or try to convince others what’s right, because as innovative thinker Buckminster Fuller figured out, you don’t change things by fighting existing reality – but by creating something new that makes the existing model obsolete. J VIRGO: With your planetary ruler Mercury in networking Gemini influential connections enrich your life so ditch cool and aloof, aim for socially spontaneous. Earth-sign-friendly Jupiter’s working group dynamics to your advantage and suggests tweaking your personal packaging with a fresh look or a new do.

this week to let go of beliefs that separate you from others – to be less judgmental, more understanding. Along with your revitalised mindset, daily routines benefit from a fresh approach, like accepting invitations to things you mightn’t usually do. L SCORPIO: As Scorpio poet Keats wrote Truth is beauty, and stalking it this week could stimulate volcanic responses, though on the bright side, long stony silences aren’t likely. Jupiter in your relationship zone lifts invisible restrictions and restocks your skills kitbag with some groovy new tools. M SAGITTARIUS: While your ruling planet Jupiter’s sign change activates constructive shifts, midweek full moon’s eclipse in your sign could feel destabilising, so don’t commit to more than you can easily deliver. Be discriminating. And prepared to negotiate, because others will benefit from your counsel as arbitrator or adjudicator. N CAPRICORN: If there’s been some uncomfortable karmic accounting in the life of Capricorn recently, Saturn your planetary ruler moving forward in the sign of fairness opens up formerly closed situations and richer opportunities, with all manner of encouraging friends and unexpected allies coming through for you. O AQUARIUS: Jupiter in your home zone brings expansion in the form of renos, extensions, upgrades or simple rejigs of your existing space to a more satisfying balance. And with Venus in a fellow mind-sign buffing up your popularity, the Aquaverse is this week’s liveliest address. P P ISCES: Thinking it’s about time for some fun? This week’s celestial weather report forecasts delightful surprises and delicious twists. And while you mightn’t think a spiritual inventory’s necessary, certain misapprehensions on your part are going to need clarifying before you can proceed in a particular area.

Chess has been a rare visitor to Australian television screens since the halcyon days of nightly programs as Bobby Fischer beat Boris Spassky for the world title in 1972. The exception came in the early 1980s, when the BBC series The Master Game was shown on the ABC. The Master Game was the best chess program ever made, featuring a competition where the key games were covered by peering into the minds of top players as they considered each move. Even viewers with only a minimal knowledge of chess could appreciate the commentary and the ratings were comparable to the other surprise hit of the era, Pot Black, a snooker program. The series came to a halt in 1983 when the filming of the series – which featured local hope Tony Miles beating World Champion Anatoly Karpov in the final – was conducted during a BBC strike. The ABS union refused to allow the 1983 series to be shown

Billi’s Thai When I met half of the new ownership of Bangalow’s Satiate it coincided with the extraction from the oven of a cake. Katrina Kanetani, priestess of sweet things, asked me if I would like to accompany coffee with a slice of her Pumpkin and Prune Cake – a question that barely required a response. And it was wonderful – wonderful in the way that a cake whipped freshly out of the oven always is, wonderful because of the lush moistness the barely detectable pumpkin had endowed. Pumpkins are, after all, technically a fruit, and their use in sweet dishes more logical than in savoury. In both the Middle East and India that’s where they usually end up. Lately on our Sunday drives along curvy hinterland roads we have been passing displays of pumpkins at little roadside stalls alongside their honesty tins for the few dollars they ask of you. According to Frank and Tania Walker of Walker Farms – whose organic pumpkins spoil you forever, rendering you incapable of ever eating a supermarket one again – these are pumpkins grown through the summer months. The Walkers themselves can grow pumpkins all year around because their Upper Burringbar property rarely experiences the frost to which most of the rest of the region is exposed. Even the excessively wet spells which ruined so many crops this past season left the Walkers relatively unscathed: they are so hilly the rain just runs off the land. While they lost some of their pumpkin crop over summer it was not substantial enough to matter.

keeping qualities and its sweet taste. Of course I have to ask Tania how she likes best to cook pumpkin. Her answer is baked, with the barest touch of oil: pumpkin, then, at its most intense. And before I can say how, when making a classic lasagna, I like to add layers of sliced roast pumpkin to the ragu/bechamel/pasta/cheese ones, here she is telling me about her Pumpkin Lasagna, sans meat: just those other elements but pumpkin the starring role. Then she tells me about a woman she knows who bakes a small pumpkin in its entirety until it is completely cooked through – ‘she cooks and cooks and cooks it’ – until the centre has become caramelised, all those natural sugars – and then she serves it with ice cream. So there it is again, pumpkin as a sweet, and a method definitely worth trying out sometime. Here is another lovely thing to do with pumpkin, a Jane Grigson recipe for Turkish Candied Pumpkin you can make with your roadside fruit, or a Walker wonder-pumpkin.

The Deck

Horatio Bitemark As our accountant recently pointed out, the projected shocking increase in power costs would hardly affect the Club’s budget, unless the price topped 1.2 million Swiss francs per kilowatt hour. However we were determined not to be left behind in the switch to green power. The Bentleys already ran on a mixture of ghee and turnip leaves, but it was time to convert the clubhouse as well. Tosser Digby, well known in these pages for his prowess at huntin’ and fishin’ and shootin’ – though having no truck with political parties of that bent – came up with an ingenious solution. I have recorded on several occasions his panache at disposing with a variety of weaponry the unwanted hounds which stray too close to our pastures green. Now he combined that interest with our need for clean energy. Taking a 1961 Land Rover from one of the garages, he converted the undercarriage to all-terrain technology developed for the Mars probe by a boffin with whom he played gin rummy during university days. To the driver’s side he attached a mechanical arm equipped with a high-tensile nylon net, not unlike the lepidopterist’s standard gear in design, only much bigger. With this rig Digby headed off into the Shire’s rolling hills, where a plague of wild dogs had been recently reported. On the way he disposed of the dreaded Pomeranian of Federal – owned by one June Baskerville, a retired sadist – much to the village’s rejoicing. The bush basher handled the rough paddocks with aplomb and in no time at all Digby had scooped up a brace of slavering mongrels and returned with his catch to the clubhouse. This he did repeatedly. The landowners were delighted and, thinking him to be a registered shooter, pressed upon him money which he hastily declined. Apprised of the real situation, the farmers and cottagers

and exiled merchant bankers then plied Digby with produce – lemons, marmalade, home-made wine, a raft of grilled ducks in aspic – which the good chap felt obliged to accept out of sheer courtesy. One comely rural lass went so far as to engage him in a spot of horizontal folk dancing, which put him off his aim for several days. Digby also used the expedition as an excuse to call in on the renowned footballer, Gil Crespy of Goonengerry, with whom he shared a bottle of cabernet merlot and tales from their time in the African league when, like Albert Camus, Digby played goalie for Algeria while Crespy was flourishing with the Ghana AllStars. Back at the clubhouse we assembled the motley of mutts on a treadmill, a holographic vision of an escaping bunny before them. Sanders the butler, whose background in civil engineering was hitherto unknown to me, rigged up a turbine to the clubhouse and the ineffable set off in pursuit of the unreachable. By this means we pumped a vast kilowattage back into the grid and managed to heat both the Shire’s public pools at no cost to the council. We toasted Digby’s inventiveness and our successful conversion to canine energy with the 1998 Bleeding Heart Pooch Fancier Rough Claret, wet on the nose with a bouquet of relieved bandicoot.

Yamba Buccaneers pillage Moonshiner territory

tunities scoring an early five pointer. Mullum hit back with a solid run of possession that resulted in a series of penalties deep in the Buccaneers’ forty. The first was a three pointer, the second ricocheted off the post, the third was used to attack. Despite big runs from Dave Dixon and Lachlan Stubbings, Mullum had a good sniff

of the line but couldn’t trouble the scoreboard. On the back of excellent kicking games by their ten and fifteen Yamba was winning the duel for field position. For the Shiners Seymour ‘I’m really a prop’ Walters was in everything, he is the veteran of the side and ageing like a good bottle of red. At half time the score was 8 – 3 Yamba’s way. Despite much encouragement from the hardy punters that braved the winter chill, Mullum could not find the way home. Undisciplined penalties were self-inflicted body shots thwarting the Mullum momentum and gifting the Buccaneers too much easy ball. Darcy Stephens was displaying poise beyond his years at full back and Teale Pyne continued to show his leadership qualities with some big runs and hits from inside centre. However Yamba were dominating the line outs, kicking brilliantly and getting the maximum out of their makeshift team. Mullum continued to play its bold brand of Rugby, pushing for maximum points with every penalty. It was not to be though and Yamba ran out deserving winners by 13 points. Due to a quirk in the draw the Moonshine ship will be sailing South to Yamba on Saturday to return the favour and blow the Buccaneers off the park.

Bangalow v Byron

footwork by Tom getting him over the try line. By half-time Byron led 8-6. True to character, the Bangalow side came out into the second half with re-newed vigour. Two penalties to Mitch Loane meant Byron could have a quick breath before Banga’s forwards found that grinding formula that has been so successful for them in preceding years and started to advance, which in turn gave their backs some space. Momentum shifted, points s came and before anyone could blink the home side was in front 16-14 and the local crowd found their voice.

Byron was forced to dig deep and our backline defence was led from the front by Robert ‘the Governor‘ Lynch. Byron’s forwards worked themselves back into the fold and some good tactical kicking saw Byron in a position to land another penalty and put them in front 17-16. As last Friday’s game was a make-up of a previous washed-out bout, a strange twist of timing and fate, see the two teams meet again this weekend. See part two of the double header on Saturday at 2.30pm in Byron. Game on boys!

Like the opening scene from a horror movie, the steam played on the paddock under lights at the Bangalow Sports Fields last Friday night, laying in wait for the first game of a Bangalow versus Byron local derby double header. By all accounts it was an exciting game and though the temperature droppped deathly low, few spectators dared leave the sidelines so riveted were their eyes to the on-field play. Byron shot out of the blocks from the first whistle and dominated the home side. Throughout the initial stanza the Byron forwards moved down the field in a unit lead by captain Josh Smith that left the opposition shaken. Ground position dominance soon led to penalty points on the board. Byron’s slick backline had space to move and crisp, precision passes from the base of the scrimmage by Steve White had star Irish fly half Frank Kearney running free with ball in hand and linking up with ‘Kiwi Dj Sean Reily‘ who drove the attack deep into enemy territory which finished in a barnstorming try to captain Joshie. Good forward play led to another down field attack Courage under lights: Byron lock Dan Ryan forges a path with the backs slicing into through the opposition line on Friday night’s freeze fest at space and some very fine Bangalow.

Crankin’ what’s happening in the surf Men’s Health Week It’s ok to be blokey

Despite not taking a finals position in the premier division, local girls also an exceptional day at the Yoga For Surfers All Girls Surf Showdown with Byron Bay’s Isabelle Braley winning the Pro longboard division and collecting a handy $500 and Suffolk Park’s Kirstin Ogden winning the Pro Junior division. The 16-year-old adds this as yet another win to her already impressive career in surfing. ‘I never thought I’d win the Junior Pro, the field was so strong’ said Ogden. ‘It is always a great field that competes here and to win feels great – I just went out there to gain experience at this level and to win is unbelievable!’ Ogden also won the 16 and under division earlier in the day. Isabelle Braley’s win sets the scene for an interesting few months ahead with invites to surf in the two biggest ASP Longboard events in the world in China and France. ‘I really want to compete in China but I’m also finishing my studies so it’s difficult to meet all my commitments,’ said Braley. ‘France is the first of the two major longboard events and I

don’t think I can get there and non-attendance might affect my position in the China event so I’m unsure about these major events but I’m keen and really want to compete and today’s win helps my cause for sure!’ Sunshine Coast Queensland surfers dominated the Yoga For Surfers All Girls Surf Showdown Open Pro with Mooloolaba’s Chiana Ireland posting the biggest win of her career to win an exciting final narrowly defeating fellow Sunshine Coaster Sophie Callister from Noosa. Ireland sealed the victory on her last wave late in the final when she scored the top scoring ride of a 7.5 for a long peeling left which she surfed to the fullest to secure the win. ‘What a great event to win,’ 18-yearold Chiana said after the final. ‘This event has a great history and all the girls were ripping today and I can’t believe I’ve won it – I knew after that last wave I’d be a chance but you ever really know until it’s announced and right now I’m really excited.’ Past winners of this event include four-time ASP world champion Stephanie Gilmore

Suns’ behind a North cloud The Gold Coast Suns are still getting into the swing of their AFL berth and round 12 of the Premiership Season saw them play host to the North Melbourne Football Club and invite them into their new loungeroom for a game of footy. It was a big call to match the 21,000 that attended the inaugural home game but 14,000 attended Saturday night’s game which is a good attendance for a Kangaroos match. The first quarter wasn’t one of the Suns’ best performances for a side that’s won plenty of respect in recent weeks for its attacking football and fighting efforts even in the face of inevitable defeat, the match for the Gold Coast was truly dispiriting: missed tackles, schoolboy handballs and a borderline www.echo.net.au

uncompetitive lack of urgency. The Kangaroos, playing on what so nearly became their home patch, had three goals before the Suns had rubbed the sleep from their eyes. The Suns did manage to score goals in the second quarter and did put the brakes on the Roos if only the handbrake, holding back for only 2:4 in the second. The Suns kept up the same plodding pace with another 2:4 in the third which saw North score 5:4. The Suns did rally to gain some level of occupancy on their home turf and in a huge push scored as many goals in the fourth as they had for the entire match, but the Kangaroos would have none of that and blew the match apart with a convincing win of 59 points.

along with current world number 2 rated surfer Sally Fitzgibbbons, highlighting the prestige of the event and Ireland today joined an outstanding list of previous winners. On an uncharacteristically freezing day at Lennox Head, the waves remained clean and good all day and three Sunshine Coast surfers which included Noosa’s Naomi Stevic dominated the Open division with Stevic placing fourth while south coast NSW surfer Skye Burgess placed third. It was the 19th year of the All Girls Surf Showdown, an outstanding achievement for a great event and everyone looks forward to next year’s 20th anniversary!

In a week when the supremely fit men of league defend the honour of their origin, men’s health researchers at the University of Western Sydney say all Australian blokes could boost their own wellbeing by just watching the game at home with mates and playing a bit of local sport at weekends. This year ‘Origin Week’ coincides with International Men’s Health Week (13–19 June) – when the floodlights spill from the sports arena to highlight the challenges facing all males. The State of Origin showcases some of Australia’s best male athletes in action and highlights the importance of physical fitness, training, good health and team work to achieve goals. Unfortunately, Australian males still face a life expectancy five years shorter than females, but taking cues from elite and amateur sportsmen alike, there are some simple measures blokes can take to improve their health and wellbeing. A study by Dr Neil Hall, from the UWS School of Social Sciences, has found men and boys are getting much more from playing in their local sports matches than just physical fitness.

‘Sport provides a way for men and boys to connect with each other, to form broad social networks and build a sense of belonging. It is about mateship but also much more,’ says Dr Hall. ‘Positive social connections and feeling you are a valued member of the community are increasingly recognised as key factors in determining health outcomes much the same as physical indicators such as blood pressure, cholesterol or weight.’ The study tracked the experiences of a group of young males aged 16 to 25 who play sport in Western Sydney. Dr Hall found sport helps to build self worth and provides positive community recognition for males, particularly young men. ‘Participating in sport is an effective way for young men to engage with society – a means of contributing to the life of their community and to be positively recognised and acknowledged by their community,’ he says. Mr Anthony Brown from the University of Western Sydney’s Men’s Health Information and Resource Centre (MHIRC) says, ‘even just getting your mates together to

watch the State of Origin or any other sporting match has benefits for men’s health and wellbeing. ‘The footy game provides the opportunity to hang out with friends which can be a great way to boost your wellbeing. The camaraderie helps to strengthen social connections which are essential to good health. Mr Brown says improving the health outcomes for Australian males is much more than biology, medicine and psychology. ‘The National Male Health Policy recognises the social determinants of health – employment, access to good housing, community connections, family support – are equally important to meeting the challenge of improving male life expectancy to match that of females,’ he says. Based in the UWS School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, the Men’s Health Information and Resource Centre designs, develops and supports research and projects which contribute to the enhancement of the health and wellbeing of men and boys across every aspect of their lives from personal to family, work and the community.

Keep in touch with market changes Matt Towner

The most important step when putting your property on the market is to establish a realistic value. A comparative market analysis is how real estate is valued and of course values change as the market changes. It is very important that you stay aware of these market changes which are caused by economic and political and social factors as well as media and public opinion. In any market, in order to achieve the best possible price as easily and as quickly as possible, an accurate price indication is imperative. Whether you are determining your listing price for a private treaty or the reserve price for an auction, it is most important that you look at what has sold most similarly and most recently. What is on the market which is comparable

inside:

is of interest and important to buyers but what has sold is fact and evidence. Although real estate is not an exact science, this fact and evidence is what prices property. Position is always important when pricing properties and proximity to beach or town or acreages offering total privacy in strong performing areas are much more likely to sell faster and achieve a higher price. Attractive homes with unique features will attract more buyers and higher prices than properties lacking visual appeal. Renovated properties or those with good renovation potential will do better than those without. First impressions are important and the front of a house and the gardens make a big difference to values, especially in the eyes of the buyer. Clean and tidy homes of course sell much better than tired and worn out dwellings and patching and painting can work wonders. However, it is often not necessary to undertake major renovations like kitchens and bathrooms as nine times out of ten the buyers will want completely different renovations.

Preparing your property for sale adds to the value at which you can then realistically price the property, taking in to consideration the prevailing market conditions such as the state of the economy, the level of interest rates, the number of homes for sale and the demand from buyers. Once you have presented the property nicely and priced the property properly,

it is then the art of promotion that assists you to sell the property. A good real estate agent will have years of experience at presenting and pricing and promoting properties for sale but again all of these factors change as the market changes and it is important to review your situation on a regular basis.
