The blame-shifting over Byron’s latenight alcohol-fuelled brawling and assaults now includes state politicans and the Australian Medical Association. The issue went state-wide after Channel Ten aired footage last week of late-night fights on Jonson Street. Yet no-one appears to want to take ownership of the issue. The video prompted police minister Michael Gallacher and Ballina MP and local government minister Don Page to back local police, the Liquor Accord and business in their push for the installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to try to tackle the issue. But Byron Shire mayor Jan Barham says she won’t bow to pressure to revisit the issue of installing CCTV. She’s hit back with renewed calls for an earlier closing of pubs and clubs, and says that other measures, such as lockouts and restricted hours, would be more effective and should be tried first. Ratepayers should not have to foot the bill for the installation and monitoring of the cameras, she says.

Police union backs mayor

Mae Wilde with SlutWalk organiser Nicqui Yazdi and youth representative Lily Jo Smith will lead the walk from Railway Park, midday on Saturday, June 23.

Sexual violence is not just a woman’s issue, it is an issue for everyone and to raise awareness the streets of Byron Bay will host the area’s first SlutWalk. The main idea of SlutWalk is that it is a protest against explaining or excusing rape by referring to any aspect of a woman’s appearance. Organiser Nicqui Yazdi says that a lot of violence against girls and women

happens within the family. ‘We are inviting and welcoming women, men and young people to be a part of the walk and help to create awareness of these problems.’ Nicqui says that some of the international event can become quite risqué but she feels that it is important to create an honest portrait of women. She asks that people joining in the walk simply come dressed as themselves continued on page 3

And her stance has been backed by the state’s powerful police union, which says restrictions on licensed premises similar to those already in place in Newcastle should be the first step in addressing the issue in the tourist town. The township is now reputedly the fourth-worst area for alcohol-fuelled violence in NSW, with 225 assaults recorded for the 12-months to the end of March, 190 of them in the Jonson Street strip alone. Alcohol is sold at more than 50 licensed pubs, nightclubs, cafes, restaurants and bottle shops in the CBD area. NSW Police Association president Scott Weber says licensing rules applying in Newcastle is what’s needed. ‘When a suite of simple, moderate measures to reduce alcohol-related violence were introduced in New-

<echowebsection=Local News>

castle we saw a dramatic decrease in the number of after-dark assaults. In fact, they dropped by more than a third,’ he said. ‘Measures introduced in Newcastle include the restriction of high-alcohol-content drinks after 10pm, lock-outs and restricted trading hours. It worked in Newcastle and there’s absolutely no reason why it won’t work in Byron,’ Mr Weber said.

Doctors’ support Australian Medical Association’s NSW president, associate professor Brian Owler, supports the Last Drinks coalition’s call for the Newcastle measures to be extended elsewhere in the state. The coalition represents NSW emergency service workers and includes doctors, police, nurses and paramedics. ‘Public health research shows alcohol-related assaults, street offences and hospital emergency department presentations are down by as much as half under the Newcastle restrictions on licensed premises,’ professor Owler said.

‘It’s just common sense really. Newcastle was experiencing very similar problems to Byron. Then once a few simple restrictions were introduced we saw a marked improvement. ‘It would be negligent of the government not to introduce them in Byron and other hotspots around the state. Our doctors, nurses, paramedics and police see the cost of alcohol-related violence first hand every single day. We know how critical it is that something is done and so does the community.’ But the local business chamber and liquor outlets oppose lockouts and are pushing for CCTV cameras, saying money is not the issue and want council support to obtain funding for the cameras. Byron United (chamber of commerce) president Paul Waters says both CCTV cameras and increased police patrols or a mobile police booth focusing on violence hotspots, similar to ones used on the Gold Coast, would be effective in deterring alcohol-fuelled assaults. He claims many incidents involve continued on page 3

Byron Council GM resigns Byron Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner announced his resignation last Tueday but has remained tight-lipped on the reason. Attempts by local media to seek comment were unsuccessful. In a press release issued to media outlets, however, he said he was ‘pleased to have been able to work in the Byron Shire for the last four years. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Byron Shire and want to wish both the elected councillors and staff all the best for the future,’ he said. ‘I’m confident the next GM will continue to work with staff, councillors, and the community for a sustainable Byron Shire.’ The sudden announcement follows a secret council meeting last week to discuss renewal of Mr Faulkner’s contract, at which no decision was taken.

He has resigned a year short of the end of his five-year contract and is set to leave his job within a month. It’s unlikely a permanent GM can be appointed ahead of the September council election owing to the fourweek caretaker period required by state legislation. A report for councillors regarding his position will be presented at the June 28 meeting.

Health service cuts galvanise north coast Luis Feliu & Melissa Hargraves

The message on Saturday was loud and clear: our region’s hospitals and health services are being diminished by state health minister Jillian Skinner and bureaucrat Chris Crawford. Scores of Byron Shire locals, including doctors and nurses, joined in a combined protest rally and march in Lismore to protest closures and cutbacks at Mullumbimby, Bonalbo and Coraki hospitals. Campbell Hospital at Coraki remains closed since last October when rain damaged the roof; Bonalbo Hospital is now closed at night after the local doctor retired; and most recently Mullumbimby Hospital faces the replacement of its nighttime doctor with a video-conferencing link to the Tweed Hospital. Nurses say the new system, to be put in place from July 1, would not be cost efficient as claimed because the cost of transfers of patients to other hospitals would negate any expected savings from the budget measure.

Heartless: MP Elliot Richmond MP Justine Elliot this week backed the campaign, describing the cost-cutting measures by state health authorities at Mullumbimby as

A spirited protest was held at the Lismore Base Hospital on Saturday in response to reduced health services, particularly in the communities of Mullumbimby, Bonalbo and Coraki.

‘heartless’. Ms Elliot called on the three local state members, Geoff Provest, Don Page and Thomas George, to ‘start doing their jobs and stop cutting funding to vital health services to the north coast’. Mullumbimby Hospital GP Dr Liz Elliott shared her frus-

tration at Saturday’s rally. ‘There is too much focus on centralisation, too much administration, too many meetings, and a dreadful multi-million dollar IT system that we all hate. ‘A doctor like me is paid $10 an hour to be on call. So after a while there are not many want-

The recent Federal church fundraiser managed to raise some serious funds on the May 26 weekend. Co-organiser Rhonda Ansiewicz said, ‘A big thank you to everyone who supported the Fiesta weekend in Federal. ‘It was overwhelming the generosity of people and the depth of support to help us retain the historic church. ‘We raised $40000 by your contributions. What wonderful communities we live where people believe in preserving our history and uniqueness of where we live. A magnificent response.’ The fundraising is set to continue with the goal of $220,000. www.echo.net.au

This is a deep rooted belief in sections of society.’ The Byron SlutWalk will start from Railway Park at midday on June 23, walking to Main Beach Park, then continue to the Byron Youth Activities Centre for SlutFest, an afternoon of entertainment, inspirational speakers, information stalls and a forum hosted by Mandy Nolan.

out-of-town youth who buy their alcohol and consume it before coming into town ‘fired up’ and getting into fights. But Cr Barham says blame shifting won’t help address the problem and that much of the violence is caused by drunken patrons after leaving licensed premises in the early hours of the morning. ‘Whatever happened to responsible service of alcohol? The fact is youth think the town is open all hours, that it’s a party town, but if there was an earlier lockout and they had nowhere to go, police could keep a closer eye on things in violence hotspots and make it easier for them to control,’ she said. ‘We should all think about the accountability of this profit-making liquor industry and ask what the hell are they doing about the problem? It’s the wider community that seems to get all the pain and heartache.’ Cr Barham said cameras

Is Byron United prepared to do it? If only the cameras are there and they’re not monitored, then they’re just for evidence gathering.’ Cr Richard Staples has also weighed in, claiming CCTV cameras can be installed without the need for Council consent. ‘That begs the question – why has Council been dragged into the current debate? In my view, prevention of crime and law enforcement is a primarily a police responsibility. If they come to the view that CCTV is needed in Byron Bay, they should go ahead and put them in and let Council get on with its own responsibilities.’

Assisting the needy: Julie celebrates 20 years Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Mullumbimby and District Neighbourhood Centre was formed in 1987 to provide a variety of community welfare services to people in the locality of Mullumbimby and surrounding districts. Twenty years ago Julie Williams started as a project worker and she has been there ever since. ‘My role at that time was as a caseworker with the unemployed,’ says Julie. ‘The neighbourhood centre had never had paid staff and the only service it had was emergency relief.’

Homelessness and family help increase Julie says that it became evident that it was too hard to run programs without a coordinator, so after quite a few years of case work she morphed into a co-odinator then morphed again onto a manager. Julie says that there are similarities in the needs of the community then and now and housing still stands out as the

major issue. ‘There has been an increase in homelessness’, says Julie. ‘The difference from 20 years ago is that back then, people of lower middle income were able to keep their heads above water. That is not necessarily the case any more.’ Julie says that the other big shift is the demand from families needing help. ‘It’s not just about financial crisis. It’s about parenting. There are number of

families who have moved here from another area and left their support structures and communities behind.’ Julie says the reason she is still there after 20 years is the continuous series of bright sparks. ‘The diversity of this organisation is such that I ask myself, “Where could I possibly go where I could be continually challenged and rewarded by the diversity and strengths of human beings and the strengths of the community”. I couldn’t find this anywhere else.’

The range of the centre has expanded over 20 years to include emergency relief; the soup kitchen; a drop-in centre; tax help; a financial counsellor; a domestic violence outreach service and a shire car pool project just to name a few. Julie says the very important services the centre provides these days are the parenting support programs. For more information about the centre visit online at www. mnci.org.au or in person at Dalley Street Mullumbimby next to the Civic Hall.

Learn the craft of filmmaking Hunting gets the go-ahead in Block winner grabs $500 national parks; angers rangers Staff reporters

Byron-based contemporary artist Lucille Martin has been inspired to make a documentary film and to help her develop her concept will be one of Australia’s most successful producers, Helen Bowden (The Slap). Helen will be visiting the northern rivers on June 7 to advise and inspire creatives on how to successfully develop a concept for film, television and online media in an evening workshop as part of Screenworks’ THRIVE professional development program.

The seminar is the first event in the THRIVE Program (Talent Hothouse: a Regional Intensive Vision Escalator), which aims to develop both the careers and projects of emerging to mid career producers and content creators in the northern rivers region. Developing A Concept is being held at the Lord Byron Resort on Thursday June 7 from 5.30pm to 8.45pm. Tickets are available from Screenworks, phone 6687 1599 or visit screenworks.com.au for more.

Hunting for feral pigs, dogs, goats and cats will be permitted under licence in about 10 per cent of the state’s 799 national parks following the passing of new legislation in state parliament last week. Locally, this will include the Nightcap, Yabbra and Richmond ranges in the northern rivers. The new law is part of a deal with the Shooters and Fishers Party that has enabled the government to pass legislation to sell off the state’s electricity generators. But the decision has angered National Parks rangers, who say they will refuse to co-operate as it is likely to jeopardise public safety and drive out other users. The union representing National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) rangers has directed its members ‘not to assist with any activity involved with establishing recreational hunt-

ing in national parks in NSW.’ It has also been condemned by a coalition of five environment groups who say the premier has renegged on promises. ‘The premier has repeatedly assured the public that he would not allow hunting in national parks. Today, he broke that promise. Yesterday, his government announced a proposal to weaken our state’s land-clearing laws. What will tomorrow hold?’ The groups represented were Total Environment Centre, Nature Conservation Council of NSW, The Wilderness Society, Colong Foundation for Wilderness, and Humane Society International. Premier Barry O’Farrell claimed strict controls would apply to the licences, requiring written permission from the Game Council, which will oversee the program. He added protections for native animals will remain in force.

Woolies drags its heels on plastic bags Jim Beatson

Around six-months ago the gang of Bag Ladies launched a campaign to rid Byron stores of plastic bags or to encourage them to charge a bag fee that would be passed onto Australian Seabird Rescue. It was designed to encourage consumers to bring their own carry bags. Since the plastic bags most shops use are not recyclable, when they break down into microscopic pieces they can end up being ingested by birds and marine life that may, or may not, die. The Bag Ladies, led by Dee Tipping, Mary Gardner and Trude Helm, received support from the chamber of commerce, Byron United, in their campaign.

Let’s hope ALDI inspires Woolies to become a good corporate leader in our community.

Carol’s NSW coastline walk raises $10,000 for heart foundation Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Walking the coastline of New South Wales is not something that many people aspire to unless you are Carol White. Four years ago Carol was given an unexpected impetus to do just that when her son Craig was diagnosed with a heart condition and fitted with a stent. Carol saw an opportunity to raise funds for a cause close to her own heart and on March 1 she set out from the Victorian

border with the Queensland border in her sights. Raising in excess of $10,000 for the Heart Foundation and also raising awareness of heart disease in young adults, Carol walked 1,126.5km and her husband drove just over 8,000km in the support vehicle. ‘Heart problems often emerge in your forties and fifties,’ says Carol. ‘But in fact they can start in your twenties and even in teens.’ All four of Carol’s sons have heart-related issues, as did

Political debate TV pilot for SCU Four northern rivers mayors will debate the benefits of water fluoridation in a live public forum as part of a television pilot being developed by a Southern Cross University honours student. The pilot will be held on Monday, June 25 from 5pm to 7pm at the Lismore campus in the University’s purpose-built performance and production venue, Studio ONE29. Alex Lewers, a 24-year-old Bachelor of Media honours student, has called his television pilot the The 4th Estate and is presented in a format similar to the ABC’s Q & A and SBS’s Insight. The 4th Estate refers to the media, which is separate from the estates of the realm, recognised in the middle ages as the clergy, the nobility, and commoners.

Michael Cumpston: animal advocate farewelled Grace Halfpenny

Last Thursday May 31 over 100 people gathered at Federal Hall, both from across the Shire and country to say their final farewells to Michael Cumpston, previous vet of Suffolk Park. Michael leaves behind his beloved wife Pauline and four sons. It was common consent among the gathered that everyone felt that they knew ‘the boys’ before ever meeting them because as a proud father Michael had announced their achievements to all. Michael was remembered for his contributions as a computer programmer, intellectual researcher and animal advocate. As a vet, Michael donated many hours to WIRES, worked with Endurance Horses and Quarantine, including dealing with the foot and mouth outbreak in the UK. He had owned vet practices in Perth, Sydney, Canberra and Suffolk Park. Michael didn’t believe in wasting time or words which

didn’t make him popular with government bodies. He gave animals a voice particularly concerning live animal export, which he witnessed and described the conditions as ‘sordid and cruel.’ He also didn’t refrain from telling negligent pet owners where they were going wrong. He put the animals first. As a vet, Michael practised in the area for ten years and was known as a diagnostic genius. Liss Caldwell, who worked with him at the Suffolk Park practice said, ‘Many locals have spoken to me on hearing of Michael’s death because of the huge difference he made to their lives by saving their pets, staying up all night with sick animals and often not charging because he knew owners couldn’t afford it and his main concern was that of the animal.’ On a more personal recollection Miss Caldwell said, ‘He didn’t just save animals, he was inspiring and a motivator. ‘I know that he pushed all of us who worked in the prac-

tice to be the best we could be and welcomed us into his family, including my son, Nat, who he nominated and stood proudly next to when Nat won an Australia Day award for Junior Sports Person last year. He didn’t just save animals he saved my life twice. ‘Mr Michael generously shared his knowledge with all. He was an amazing vet but he was so much more.’ Remaining stubborn to the end Michael was determined to prove doctors wrong and outlived all diagnosis. He showed amazing inner strength and courage through his battle with cancer, particularly over the last six months. He spent the last two weeks of his life on his beloved property at Eureka where he could listen to the birds, watch the koalas, passing snakes and watch the occasional goat or turkey wander past. Born in 1945, Michael Cumpston will be remembered not only by us humans but the four legged and feathered.

A busker’s board with vision

A vision statement regarding Byron’s street performance culture was unveiled at the Byron Community Centre this week. It also contains information for buskers, Council staff and police. After volunteering to act as a buskers’ liaison between street performers, residents and businesses and Council, Councillor Simon Richardson says this is the first step to ensure the vibrancy of busking and provides a structure to ensure buskers are aware of Council regulations and expectations. ‘This board is about accepting challenges and trying to develop solutions,’ said Cr Richardson. ‘Some buskers from out of town are not sure of our regulations, some businesses are dismissive of the “value” of buskers for the town and some local buskers are being hassled when trying to make a living. This board is an attempt to overcome these problems. It

Byron fightclub rules Here are some solutions to the yabber yabber and humbug surrounding drunk dickheads in Byron’s main drag after dark. Why not establish a Byron Fightclub? Set up a boxing ring, or better yet an octagonal fight cage, on the Jonson Street roundabout. Low-IQ buffed-up yobs would finally feel welcome – along with some locals – to belt each other up as they are cheered on. Why not close the street on weekends? Let’s have another festival. Since the state government appears happy to fund business tourism campaigns, perhaps they could fund this. Sell tickets – hell, why not sell the highlights to reality TV? Be the new Block: Byron Blockhead. And being the sharing caring community we are, each night could be themed for a humanitarian or environmental cause. Fight obesity, fight global warming, Japanese whaling, palm oil‌ When the mayor was outraged by tree felling in a wildlife corridor near her house the other week, she was able to stop it immediately. So what’s the sound of a few Queenslanders falling in the night? Does anybody hear? Or care? Since Council, police, the Liquor Accord and the Byron business chamber appear incapable of doing anything about it collectively – we could at least change the media language. Soften it up a little. Instead of headlines like ‘Byron Blood Bath’, it could be ‘Byron Nightlife Simply Tickles’, or ‘Street Massages Get Frolicky.’ And finally, if some of our treasured tourists and a handful of locals want more blood, they could go to where Council spent all its money – the Ewingsdale Sports Centre. It’s like a Roman coliseum anyway but needs a little more use. Mud wrestling under flood lights would be the obvious conclusion. Hans Lovejoy, editor

We’ve looked at the impact of misinformation by vested interests on public perception of climate change, but the mindset against acceptance of the evidence probably needs deeper investigation. (I’m not talking about folks who just reject climate science out of hand without any research.) The denial probably lies in the realm of classic human denials such as of death and of the failure of love. Peer pressure is a factor, too. A paper by seven authors in Nature.com, ‘The polarising impact of science literacy and numeracy on perceived climate change risks’, investigated the theory that people are apathetic about climate change because they can’t understand the science. ‘We conducted a study to test this account and found no support for it,’ say the authors. ‘Members of the public with the highest degrees of science literacy and technical reasoning capacity were not the most concerned about climate change. Rather, they were the ones among whom cultural polarisation was greatest. ‘This result suggests that public divisions over climate change stem not from the public’s incomprehension of science but from a distinctive conflict of interest: between the personal interest individuals have in forming beliefs in line with those held by others with whom they share close ties and the collective one they all share in making use of the best available science to promote common welfare.’ Yes, the hive mind cannot adapt to change when the hive is threatened. See the paper at http://bit.ly/JNO8pq. The American Psychologcal Association’s taskforce on climate change has been working for a number of years on a re-

British artist David Buckland wrote ‘The complete beauty of the Monaco Glacier bathed in two days of light that scratched across my retina recording the surface of those high arctic skies’ when on a Cape Farewell expedition. Buckland created the website Cape Farewell www. capefarewell.com and the expeditions as a cultural response to the problem of climate change. Many well-known artists and musicians have participated in the project.

port, ‘Psychology and Global Climate Change: Addressing a Multi-faceted Phenomenon and Set of Challenges’. It canvassed a range of issues, including perceptions of global warming and climate change risks, and ‘psychosocial and mental health impacts of actual and perceived climate change’, including stress, anxiety, apathy, and guilt. If you’re really keen you can download the report at www.apa.org/science/about/ publications/climate-change. aspx or check in with your shrink before his/her couch goes under water. A different look at the psychological perspectives can be found in Joe Bageant’s examination of America’s millions of fuctionally illiterate poor white working class, Deer Hunting With Jesus, which points out that folks are too tired to worry about climate change and think more about their job and a cool beer in front of the TV in the evening. Book-learning and the internet don’t get a look-in;

their days are spent listening to rightwing talkback radio on the ear buds as they drag buckets out of rubber-moulding machines. Q Q Q Q

The Monty Python comedy crew very effectively used song to satirise issues. Climate change minister Greg Combet tried his hand at it in parliament last week with a parody of Lucky Starr’s 1962 hit song. Combet ridiculed Tony Abbott’s claims the carbon tax would destroy industrial towns such as Gladstone and Whyalla by singing ‘everywhere is doomed, man’. Apparently the top eight songs about climate change are listed at http://audio.tutsplus.com/articles/general/top-8-songs-aboutclimate-change. Unfortunately many of the YouTube links have been disabled by overprotective record companies but a clever song by a bunch of Kyogle kids is still viewable. Q Q Q Q

We may be good at shutting out the truth in Australia but the

psychology of denial seems to have been perfected in North Carolina. Scott Huler in his Scientific American blog of May 30 notes that ‘North Carolina legislators have decided that the way to make exponential increases in sea level rise – caused by those inconvenient feedback loops we keep hearing about from scientists – go away is to make it against the law to extrapolate exponential; we can only extrapolate along a line predicted by previous sea level rises. ‘Which, yes, is exactly like saying, do not predict tomorrow’s weather based on radar images of a hurricane swirling offshore, moving west towards us with 60-mph winds and ten inches of rain. Predict the weather based on the last two weeks of fair weather with gentle breezes towards the east. Don’t use radar and barometers; use the Farmer’s Almanac and what grandpa remembers.’ Read it at http://bit.ly/M7n0Jf. Q Mungo is back on June 19.

CCTV or not CCTV for the Bay? Q So, Byron United and the By-

ron Liquor Accord believe we should have CCTV installed in the streets of Byron. After reading their views in last week’s Echo I published a photo on my Facebook page to gauge the response and immediately was inundated with opinions and scepticism. Rather than rushing in playing a game of ‘follow the leader’ and installing surveillance cameras at great expense throughout Byron Bay we should at least be asking the community if they want to be photoshopped every time they walk down a street. Have the business groups in town bothered to ask their customers? Have the police checked with residents? Is Council consulting with local organisations? This lack of public discussion on key community matters has led a number of people to form a group interested in standing candidates at this year’s council election. The group is called Community Independents and will be running under the slogan ‘Keep it REAL’ (Responsible, Ethical, Accountable, Leadership). It stands for community values, cultural activities, local economy and environmental sensitivity. I will be standing on their ticket. To find out more about this emerging community initiative search for Community Independents on Facebook to stay tuned, have your input and be involved. I suggest we not look to ‘Big Brother’ technologies to solve

Ask Avigail It’s serendipitous that Israeliborn human rights activist and writer Avigail Abarbanel should be visiting Byron at a time when Israel’s continuing human rights abuses in Palestine are in the spotlight and the Boycott Disinvestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israeli apartheid is

our social problems. We can be much more creative and effective than that – just ask the Street Cruise workers who have been keeping our young people safe for nine years on the streets of Byron Bay without a camera on them.

Q Now we’ve all watched Channel 10 selectively explain to the huddled masses that increasing CCTV will virtually eliminate drunken violence in the Bay, the debate now descends into ill-informed and self-interested posturing with Council in its usual role as the stage villain. So who are the players and what’s their game? 1. CCTV – The internet can provide ‘evidence’ to ‘prove’ any position on CCTV. Generally the jury is still out on its effectiveness in reducing crime. There have certainly been some cases of improvements but usually this is very site-specific and Byron Bay is a difficult case to justify. To install and monitor a fully coordinated system would be extremely expensive and unlikely to have much further effect on violence reduction. 2. The police – At the last Liquor Accord meeting the police representative was extremely exercised over the urgent need for CCTV to ‘reduce crime’. On questioning he admitted that the system would be unlikely to actually reduce incidents but would make it easier to catch culprits retrospectively. His rationale for reduction of crime

was that as more people were apprehended, the word would get out and discourage violent incidents. This logic has been somewhat sullied by the police statement in the Channel 10 piece that most violence was committed by out-of-town visitors and overseas tourists who would be unlikely to be aware of the intimidating arrest record of Byron’s finest, ie we get a new issue of violent drunks each week. It seems that the prime police motivation may be to improve their own arrest statistics while the assaults continue. On the other side of the ledger the police are in favour of reducing the number of liquor outlets and a 12am lockout but get no backing from the booze houses. They agree that more cops on the beat is the best deterrent but this is beyond their budget. 3. The liquor outlets – All are enthusiastic about CCTV funded by someone else. They seem to believe that this single innovation will be the answer to most of the problems they facilitate. On the other hand recent statistics show that the greater the number of grog joints the greater the incidence of violence and the Bay has one of the highest densities in NSW. This is not a popular reality among local liquor sellers who oppose any meaningful restrictions on their operation and are apparently not willing to shoulder much responsibility for the social harm that results from their lucrative trade. 4. The chamber of commerce – Paul Waters the president is

an enthusiastic supporter of CCTV, endowing it with the same magic potential as do the police and purveyors of alcohol. He is loudly not in favour of the other harm-reduction measures like the proposed 1am lockout which he appears to think (see Channel 10) involves emptying the outlets at that time. It actually means not admitting patrons after that time – so no flood of drunks. 5. The council – Local government is not directly in the crime prevention business although it will assist police and the commercial sector in where it can. The council has not formally rejected CCTV; at its recent meeting it made no decision either way. 6. The minister – Despite being fully briefed on the above, the police minister appeared on TV vowing to instruct the mayor to do as she was told and get on with CCTV installation. Don’t like his chances but such is the power of vested interests and cheap populism on the political animal that they usually go with the strength. 7. The solution – At the last Liquor Accord meeting I was informed by Paul Waters that the local member Don Page had offered funding for CCTV. It is now open to the police, Byron United and the liquor sellers to submit a DA for the installation of a CCTV system and I am sure Council will offer all assistance short of finance.

gathering momentum worldwide (Echo, May 29). Avigail’s book Beyond Tribal Loyalties – Personal Stories of Jewish Peace Activists contains contributions by many Australian Jewish writers. She says: ‘I was brought up on stories of the Holocaust. I was told that perhaps even more despicable than the Nazis themselves were

all those who knew what was happening and allowed it to happen. Jews have always felt abandoned by a world full of bystanders. Being a bystander doesn’t mean doing nothing. It means collaborating. And I don’t want to be a collaborator.’ (See more at www.avigailabarbanel.me.uk/index.html.) Avigail – who was born in

Israel and spent two years in the IDF before becoming a psychotherapist, giving her a unique insight into the situation – will speak at Byron Community Centre on Saturday June 23. Readers

Durrumbul Q When

the general manager of Byron Shire Council quit on Tuesday last week his announcement seems to have been timed and managed so that The Echo (deadline Monday morning) would be blindsided and Ross Tucker would get the headstart on the blame game. As the Northern Star’s report gave the impression that it was all down to personality conflict with the Greens I tried to set the record straight, but the Star (surprise, surprise) did not print my letter. The Northern Star’s headline border Ocean Shores due to an endangered frog, which I might add is dubious, yet the ‘threatened’ koala colony on the Splendour site has had no such effect on the state government. I am not sure how 35,000 people and five stages with doof music banging on multiple occasions throughout the year cannot have an effect on these sensitive creatures that have also, among other things, been killed for their pelts for stuffed koalas, tourists’ keepsakes. Where is NPWS? They are pretty quiet about this as well – very odd. The absolute hypocrisy of this state government is sickening. I am also surprised and disappointed with the lethargy of the people in this shire who have not stood up to help these animals. The silence has been deafening from these wonderful nature lovers who are supposed

described Graeme’s departure as a ‘shock’. Really? Graeme has had two periods of extended leave over the past nine months which had me hoping that he was off doing job interviews, probably in Bahrain or Kazakhstan. Then two weeks ago he tested the waters by inviting councillors to give him a five-year extension. As his first term wasn’t over yet I speculated that he’d been offered a job elsewhere but before accepting it he needed to check whether he actually had any future here. As the council vote was apparently far from a ringing endorsement, he obviously decided to cut his losses and do a bolt. Also I’d just conveyed to him a promise, that if he got his five-year extension I would run not only for mayor but as a councillor, my role being to make his life miserable. Pos-

answers of confusion, because as a society, we wish to be confused about the environment issue so we can procrastinate and hang on to the lifestyle we have always known. The sustainability issue did not want to notice that for sustainability to occur in Western societies, it was necessary that the economic was not as heavily subscribed to as the environmental and social. Societywide, this is still not accepted in that it is not practised. Climate change, though an important part of the environment debate, has been examined separately from the rest of

the environment crisis. If it was examined in whole or wholistically it would have been noticed even without the aid of science, that there are major threats to both soil and water so why wouldn’t there be potential for air to be affected also, especially as India and China with almost half the world’s population industrialise, and each person wants a car? Whether the planet is warming or freezing, or whether climate change is anthropomorphically caused is not the point. The point is there are obvious threats to all three bases of life, and what are we going to do about it, other than change the

tap washers and desperately lunge toward renewable energy. With renewable energy, we don’t want to know that the apparatus for collecting the ‘free’ energy is not renewable, is not free! The suggested path for humanity is not to set itself up with a lifestyle beyond nature; beyond the other animals, but to merge with nature by endeavouring to require minimal support from it for one’s living. In other words, to move toward autonomy of it rather than remaining helplessly dependent on it. It is in immersing oneself completely in nature that there is potential for transcending it.

The journey of autonomy also requires looking more clearly at one’s own nature and noticing how many abilities that are of aid to the whole have been covered by a superficial civilised dross that only enables superficial relationship with other people displaying the same dross. Civilisation, the organising facility by which technologies are maximised, has been the pretense that nature is imperfect and requires human help to perfect. It has been a 12,000 year journey to remember one does not transcend nature by attempting to directly live apart from it. May the children be barefoot in their Environmental

Science classes! If the issues of sustainability and climate change are to drop out of discussion, they could do so because discussion has focused on the major issue of the environment crisis, the elephant in the room that everyone can see but is unwilling to look at: how to organise nationally to be content with the simpler living that accompanies steady but unrelenting movement away from technology dependence.

as we mourn the aftermath of coal-seam gas mining in the Northern Rivers. This industry, poorly regulated and unimpeded by our system of law, has the potential to sully our waters, pollute our air and fragment our communities. Our only recourse as citizens and landholders ignored by the legal system to impede this juggernaut is to ‘get up,’ ‘lock our gates’ and support the social movement of objection which is spreading like wildfire throughout communities all over the country. There are now more than 20 groups within Northern Rivers alone. Byron Shire Council supported a moratorium on CSG mining in 2011. Let’s hope they extend it this year to send a strong message to the NSW government. Jill Keogh

Fields of dross Spare a thought for our local, vocal, festival mogul: it must really sting to see your fields of gold going to seed. The eagle-eyed among us, however, will not fail to recognise the irony that – in addition to the council-bashing, petitions and running off to state parliament – there is, as the last resort, a threat to ‘up sticks and leave’ (together possibly with a rebranding as the Roots ’n’ Shoots Festival). Despite the do-goody-good bullshit, the disaffected, sceptical and cynical among us can only conclude that the Bluesfest is now simply riding the gravy train.

It is almost the same size as Earth, and ‘weighs’ about the same amount, too, just a little bit less. 4. And because of number 3, whatever you weighed on Earth, you would weigh about 90 per cent of this on Venus; eg a 60kg person here would weigh only 53kg there. (But of course, both you and your bathroom scales would be squashed by this stage.) 5.

Clean energy conference In just eight weeks’ time, Australia’s clean-energy industry will gather to discuss how it can achieve the federal government’s 20 per cent Renewable Energy Target, and turn cutting-edge innovation into mainstream technology, as part of Clean Energy Week 2012. Hosted by the Clean Energy Council (www.cleanenergycouncil.org.au) – Australia’s peak body for renewable energy and energy efficiency – Clean Energy Week is an industry-driven conference and trade exhibition that will run from July 25 to 27 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre. The event is sponsored by Conergy and will incorporate Australia’s largest solar event ATRAA, now in its 35th year. Clean Energy Council acting CEO Kane Thornton said 2012 was an important year for the industry as it looked towards meeting the 20 per cent by 2020 Renewable Energy Target (RET). ‘The RET is a critical piece of policy for our industry,’ Mr Thornton said. ‘With a federal government review scheduled for later this year we want to ensure the industry is united in terms of achieving the target, understanding the challenges and pushing for the removal of barriers that are inhibiting further development.’ He said the conference will also discuss the impacts and opportunities presented by the July 1 introduction of the carbon price and other legislation associated with the federal government’s Clean Energy Future package. ‘There are some exciting opportunities ahead for our sector as Australia continues to transform its energy system to meet the demands of the 21st century,’ he said. For a full program outline visit www.cleanenergyweek. com.au/program. On the Friday there will be a free debate open to the media and general public which will discuss the role for clean energy in Australia’s energy system in 2050. The discussion will be moderated by journalist and TV presenter George Negus. www.echo.net.au

Doctors fear for the demise of Mullumbimby hospital Luis Feliu

A public protest meeting on Monday May 28 attended by more than 100 people, including doctors, nurses and residents, has called for a halt to a planned downgrade of emergency services at Mullumbimby Hospital and any loss of staff. The meeting at the town’s services club, organised by the local branch of the nurses union, condemned the health authority’s recently announced trial of replacing the hospital’s emergency department overnight doctor with a nurse-operated teleconferencing system connected to doctors at Tweed Hospital. Nurses and doctors say the new system, to be put in place from July 1, would not be costefficient as claimed because the cost of transfers of patients to other hospitals would negate any expected savings from the budget measure. ‘We’re now looking at the downgrade of services; if we do lose the night doctor it’s highly unlikely we’ll get it back, we’ll be unable to maintain 24-hour services,’ Dr Michael Pelmore told the meeting, which included many elderly locals and a church group. ‘There’ll be no guiding force from the hospital to work with the nurses, and if we settle for second best and lose emergency-medicine care from the night shift, I feel the future is a

slippery slope for our hospital, leading to its demise.’ Dr Pelmore, who has worked in the community and the hospital for 36 years in various roles including obstetrics and emergency, said he had ‘sadly’ seen the gradual loss of services there over the years, including removal of paediatrics and surgery facilities. ‘Once that was all done, things declined and we were unable to reclaim them,’ he said. ‘It’s important to hold onto these service we’ve got and don’t relinquish any further.’ Dr Pelmore said doctors had to support nursing staff with the existing collaborative model of care, otherwise the hospital would eventually close.

Thousands object The meeting was told a petition with more than 2,500 signatures, calling on health minister Jillian Skinner to urgently intervene to ensure medical services are provided on site at the hospital 24 hours a day, had been collected in just 14 days since the announcement last month by the local health authority. Mullumbimby Hospital’s NSW Nurses Association branch delegate Shauna Boyle said emergency medicine was a collaborative model of care in which both doctors and nurses had their role to play to

ensure patient safety, the ‘paramount concern’ of nurses. ‘The proposed new model leaves nurses working by themselves with only a video link, which is tenuous at the best of times,’ Ms Boyle said. She said emergency-care cases at the hospital last year were 7,700, yet this year alone there had already been 7,000. She said that large nearby musical festivals such as Bluesfest would impact on hospital services with overflows and any serious injuries. Ms Boyle said nurses would welcome the new tele-medicine camera technology ‘tomorrow’ as an adjunct to existing services, but collaborative care with both a doctor and nurse working together was the ‘safest emergency care you can have’ and ‘to introduce a new model of care is ridiculous’. ‘We’re not a supermarket and not supposed to be making money; it’s a service, that’s why it’s called a health service. I don’t see why our medical services should be decreasing; this is a flawed plan.’ One member of the audi-

ence told the meeting that if an elderly person suffered a stroke during a holiday period, ‘they wouldn’t make it to Tweed Hospital, it’s too far and too congested’.

Cost of locums Dr Peter Bowles, a duty doctor at the hospital, explained how on-call local doctors were paid just $11.60 per hour to attend night on-call emergency cases and yet half the caseload was done by locums, which increased costs. The meeting was told many local doctors were not part of the on-call roster and Dr Bowles urged people to ask them why not. He said local doctors believed the savings from not employing the higher-paid locums at night were being ‘chewed up by any patient transfers involved in not having an overnight doctor at the hospital’. Mullumbimby National Party branch chairman Alan Hunter sparked an audience outburst when he said local government minister and Ballina MP Don Page had told him that losing the hospital service was ‘not an option’ but

his government’s ‘problem was in trying to maintain a service within a tight budget’. Mr Hunter, who failed in his bid to become Richmond MP at the last federal election, said ‘no-one likes trial but they have to try something’, to which local documentary filmmaker David Bradbury responded that ‘health care is a basic human right’. Mr Hunter continued that if it was the case services were affected ‘they’ll soon put it back’. ‘There’s no question we must maintain our services, but we can’t keep borrowing money, that’s why these other nations are in trouble,’ he said in the face of several objections. Dr Liz Elliott said she’d seen children from the hills around Mullumbimby bitten by snakes who ‘wouldn’t have made it to Tweed Hospital’. Dr Elliott said one of the problems with emergency services was that limited number of local doctors were paid a ‘pittance’ for being on call at night while their counterparts from the city were paid ‘a lot of money’, up to $3,000 a night. One local asked why oncall doctors were paid only $11 per hour on-call rate when

Ms Boyle agreed with an audience member there was ‘lots of pressure and stress’ in taking the responsibility of diagnosing a patient without the backup of a medical doctor; ‘it’s extremely stressful’. There was also concern about nurses misdiagnosing and their legal responsibility. She said nurses had ‘already saved the hospital hundreds of thousands of dollars with our caseload midwifery model (where a doctor is not involved, so costs are saved) and now we’re being asked to do more’. ‘We actually won midwife of the year award at Mullum Hospital so we’re proud of that. Ambulance officer in charge of the Mullumbimby station, Inspector Greg Powell, said ambulance services would remain the same but any further load on the hospital could potentially affect local ambulance services. Two Sydney-based officials from the powerful NSW Nurses Association attended the meeting, vowing their union’s support for the nurses ‘to the hilt’ in their quest to prevent service cuts. Local nurses and union officials will next meet with chief executive of the Northern NSW Local Health District, Chris Crawford, on June 7. Deputy mayor Basil Cameron told the meeting that Mr Crawford, who was invited but couldn’t attend owing to a prior arrangement, should ‘present himself to the public to explain’. The meeting resolved to form a steering committee to plan further meetings and actions and urged members to sign petitions and write letters to their MPs and newspapers.

The where-not-to-have-a-heart-attack-in-Australia index Every single town in Australia has been rated on its proximity to cardiac care, before and after a heart attack, in a new report published in Circulation and headed by Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Associate Professor Robyn Clark, pictured, from QUT’s School of Nursing, led a national research team for the seven-year multi-disciplinary project, entitled the Cardiac Accessibility and Remoteness Index for Australia (Cardiac ARIA), with funding from an

Australian Research Council Linkage Grant and linkage partner AlphaPharm Pty Ltd. The index, developed by cardiology professionals and geographers, informs residents and health professionals on what level of emergency and preventative care is available in their neighbourhood in the potentially life-threatening event of a heart attack and when they return home after a cardiac event. Professor Clark said the project found 71 per cent of

Australians lived in Cardiac ARIA ‘1A’ locations, which have specialist hospital care and four types of aftercare

within one hour’s drive. However, she said, only 68 per cent of people over 65 years of age and 40 per cent of In-

digenous people lived within 1A locations. ‘The first 60 minutes of experiencing symptoms of a heart attack or any cardiac event is the “golden hour� in which to receive treatment and achieve the best recovery results possible,’ she said. ‘It is also the maximum length of time people seem willing to travel to get to services that help prevent future secondary attacks after they return home, which occurs in 50 per cent of cases.’

<echowebsection=Articles>

Professor Clark said each location was given a numeric/ alpha rating, where the number related to proximity of emergency cardiac care, and the alphabetic letter referred to accessibility of services which helped prevent a secondary cardiac event. The Cardiac ARIA index for 10,389 Australian locations can be found at http://eprints.qut. edu.au/49163/3/49163Supplem entalMaterial.xlsx. For state by state details click on CARIA data page at the foot of the spreadhseet. The numeric index ranged from 1 (access to principal referral centre with cardiac catheterisation service up to one hour away) to 8 (no ambulance service, more than 3 hours to a medical facility, with air transport required). The alphabetic index ranged from A (all four aftercare services – family doctor, pharmacy, cardiac rehabilitation, and pathology services – available within a one hour drive) to E (no services available within one hour). Mullumbimby, for example, currently rates as 2A.

Crucial factor Professor Clark said no matter how near or far a person lived from treatment, the most important factor in surviving a heart attack was to recognise it and seek help as soon as possible and for rural and remote communities to have systems in place to access specialist cardiac care even if it is virtual, using communication technology. ‘This list may encourage people to react early if they know how far they are from cardiac care,’ she said. ‘It may also help health professionals make the best decision on which type of emergency care to use and for communities to ensure efficient clinical pathways can be activated for rapid access to specialist cardiac care. ‘For example, a person may be close to a regional medical centre where clot-busting drugs (called thrombolytic agents) can be administered, but within an hour’s ambulance drive from a cardiac catheterisation service, where stents (tiny wire mesh tubes which prop open arteries) can be inserted, so a decision needs to be made whether to get nearby help, or to re-route to the specialist cardiac care.’ Professor Clark said heart attacks were caused when buildups of fatty deposits, called plaque, clotted the arteries which fed the heart muscle and prevented blood flow.

EVERY DIRECTOR HAS A DREAM PROJECT, A CHALLENGE THAT THEY MUST FACE; FOR ANATOLY FRUSIN IT’S SAMUEL BECKETT. ALONG WITH HIS CHOSEN ACTORS AVIKAL, LINDA RUTLEDGE AND APRIL GALETTI, AND LIGHTING DESIGNER SANDESH GIBNEY, HE IS WORKING UP AN EXCITING NEW OFFERING FOR THEATRE LOVERS.

Why have you chosen Samuel Beckett? It has been a lifelong dream of mine as a director to create these very challenging plays. They are like a miniature Mount Everest of the theatre and I remember reading Not I at school and being blown away. Did you choose the plays with the cast in mind? Yes. The plays are so challenging for the actors that it was imperative to have the right people. I have worked with these performers previously and I knew they could rise to the challenge. Tell me about the cast – what are there main strengths? Samuel Beckett plays require the actors to have great technical abilities. They need to be able to learn huge amounts of lines. They need stamina and emotional honesty and the ability to not act as ‘normal’ acting but able to reveal their souls. What are the themes that you think Beckett speaks to that are relevant today? Beckett looks at what it really means to be human in the most raw sense. Absurd humour of relationships; terror of loneliness; what it actually feels like to be alive and vulnerable. Samuel Beckett was able to create this. His plays are not a theme but a reality. They are not plays to think about but to experience in a very deep way, like great music, which is also being performed between the plays. How are you approaching the staging? Beckett is notoriously famous for being very exact and specific about what he wants on stage. Very specific images that can be challenging to get exactly right. It all adds fun to the rehearsals, but is difficult. We are collaborating with Susie Olsen, who is making the famous urns that encase the actors in the first play. What are some of the major challenges? Learning the dialogue, creating the special effects, eg the mouth hanging in mid-air speaking. The stage pictures are a cross between surrealist paintings, science fiction, a nightmare and a fairy tale – the table and chairs must be just right.

liveMusic FLAMENCO HEAVEN Bandaluzia is a Sydney-based flamenco ensemble led by Damian Wright, consisting of a group of acclaimed musicians and dancers at the forefront of Flamenco in Australia. Combining contemporary and traditional Flamenco into a truly mesmerising display of explosive dance, virtuosic guitars, soulful singing, dynamic improvisation, masterful percussion, soaring violin and inspiring bass, embodying the passion, mystery and power of this remarkable art form.

What are some of your current in-rehearsal triumphs? Seeing the acting and the musicality coming together. Recreating what Samuel Beckett had in his mind. Very moving, beautiful music on the cello. Tears watching another actor’s performance. How close are you to being ready on the night? We’ll be ready. What should the average theatre-goer be taking away with them from the shows? A sense of being very emotionally moved, a sense of participating in a ritual in which we feel our shared humanity. Having seen and heard something very beautiful. Beckett is considered the most influential writer of the 20th century and it is very exciting to be a part of his world. Three by Samuel Beckett – PLAY, NOT I & OHIO IMPROMPTU. Drill Hall Theatre, Mullumbimby. 7:30pm Friday 15 June, 7:30pm Saturday 16 June, 6:00pm Sunday 17 June. Tickets: $22/$18 from The Bookshop, Mullumbimby and Barebones Art Space, Bangalow. Group bookings phone 0417 595 067.

Bandaluzia are revered for their ability to mix elements of other genres into their performances, whether being the rich harmonies of jazz, the exotic melodies of the Orient or the infectious rhythms of South America. Bandaluzia flamenco is made up of Damian Wright on guitar; Jessica Statham, dancer; Shenzo Gregorio on violin; Steve Hunter on bass; James Hauptmann, cajon/percussion and a special guest flamenco singer direct from Spain, Tony Montana Rodriguez. Damian began flamenco studies with Robbie Varga in Sydney and then moved to Spain where he spent four years studying with some of Spain’s most-recognised maestros of the flamenco guitar. Jessica has been

HOME SWEET HOME...NEARLY! My beautiful new house is only two months away. That’s if it doesn’t keep raining. Every time the skies open I curse a god that interferes with my building. So far I’ve been waiting three years. For a woman like me who’s lived her life in the grip of an insatiable desire for instant gratification it has been something of a spiritual lesson. I can’t bear waiting. And now that it’s so close, it still feels like an eternity. Building a house has been a very informative experience. Along with Zen and the Art of Waiting for Council approvals, just yesterday I found out that there’s a coping guy. I was chatting to the pool ‘consultant’ and he said ‘then we’ll send over the coping guy’. I was shocked. I’ve had five kids to three different blokes, and now they tell me there’s a ‘coping guy’. Some sort of super-dude who can handle the shit demanding difficult and obstreperous women like me dish out on a daily basis? I’m up for the challenge; I reckon I could bust his arse in a week. Just wait, Coping Guy, in no time at all you’ll be covered in baby sick looking at your credit card balance screaming ‘I can’t cope I can’t cope’. Apparently I had it wrong. He does the tiles around the pool. For some bizarre reason they call that coping. Clearly men don’t stay home with the kids. That’s coping. The tiles around the pool are merely the tile around the flipping pool. Until recently I had no interest in home ownership, I’m a late bloomer in the mortgage market. It’s taken a while to take hold but I suddenly see the point of The Block. Previously I had thought watching people renovate was about as interesting as watching people wash the car, or fill in their tax returns. But I get it. I’m fully into it. I’m mad with new-house fervour. I’m making doctors’ appointments just to read their Country Living magazines or Better performances, from the rich harmonies of jazz to the exotic melodies of the Orient and inviting renowned artists to the stage as guests in their performances. An experience that saturates the senses with the grace of flamenco.

Homes and Gardens. The other day I stooped to a new low and ripped out a page in Vogue Living to stick in my special ‘light fittings I must manifest’ scrapbook. It’s a sickness. I have found myself driving around housing estates up on the Gold Coast taking photographs of people’s fences. I even went to someone’s front door to ask them what company had installed their Colorbond. The kid that answered the door was freaked: ‘Mum, there’s a creepy giant lady at the door who likes our fence’. The other day I got sprung at Salt photographing someone’s garage door. It was difficult to convince the bloke I wasn’t stalking him, that I happened to like his garage door and it was going in my scrapbook. He was so obliging he even agreed to pose nude on all fours in front of it, not for sexual reasons, but because the skin tones helped me get a perspective on the colour palette. I do think though, if I could mount him on a stick he’d make a very individual letterbox. I’ve taken to noticing things I never would have known existed, like cornices. I was having lunch at a friend’s house the other day and I actually thought ‘ooh I don’t like those cornices’. Everywhere I go I’ve been paying close attention to door handles, light switches, fascia, paving stones, bench tops and taps. It’s like a whole new world of fittings has opened up. It had never occurred to me that someone actually chose all that shit. When you live in a house where all the choices are made for you, while you may hate the colour of the walls, or the bathroom tiles, the fact is that some other idiot chose them, not you. My husband and I are the idiots making the choices. I live in fear of creating a house that friends arrive at and, as they say ‘It’s amazing!’, they are actually wondering ‘What the fuck were they thinking?’ Where I used to worry that I was too fat for my skinny jeans, now I fall asleep at night worrying that my deck won’t match my support beams. Are my ceilings too low? Do I have too many windows? Is a lime-green splashback going to give me a migraine? I can’t believe I’m actually having conversations with tradies using words like

KNIGHT AND DAZE

FRIDAY 8TH JUNE 8PM – BEERGARDEN – FREE

Kellie Knight and the Daze are a powerful, highly polished and dynamic north coast-based music outfit who, through their mutual love of soul, funk and jazz music, came together to pay tribute to some of the legendary musicians of these genres. Playing an eclectic and carefully chosen blend of dynamic tunes that range from the sophisticated freeform grooves of Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis, through to the exciting soul workouts of Dee Dee Bridgewater, Stevie Wonder and James Brown, the Daze enjoys delivering a tangible and exciting groove to their audience and most of all just having fun sharing the music they love. Diva Kellie Knight fronts the band, with her authoritative, powerhouse voice, bringing soul and raw emotion to their sound. Keith Hammond (drums) and Paul Brewer (bass) make for a fiery and groovacious rhythm collective, while Steve Mcleod soars magnificently on electric guitar, all this rounded out by the intriguing multi-

Tickets are selling fast for this year’s Cabaret 360. Featuring local favourites The Pitts Family, Lorenzo the Libidinous Lion Tamer, and Lil’ Fi.

The Pitts are a circus family from Tasmania and are now living in the Caldera. Their show fuses highly skilled acrobatics with unusual juggling, bizarre contortion and off-beat humour to provide a stunning and hilarious show that reminds us of the benefits of marrying strangers… Lil’ Fi is one of the original roots music performers on the festival circuit today. She is a dynamic entertainer with a unique songwriting style. This multi-award-winning performer is a bit of a wildcard as she sings with an Australian twang, which was unheard of in the blues when she started out (only a handful of people do this still). At last year’s Cabaret 360 Lil’ Fi astonished audiences by singing a contentious song about illegal refugees while dressed as a puppet! This year she plans

s r a t S WITH LILITH As Neptune retrograde in Pisces renders everyone especially sensitive, many astrologers consider early-week Sagittarius full moon as the year’s most important portal for information about our changing times. Stay tuned…

E ARIES: Not the easiest week for relationships, but good for understanding why and where they go wrong. As long-standing habit patterns become apparent, the part you play in these dramas might prompt some attitude changes. Though this isn’t the time for drastic moves – small, incremental steps are best. F TAURUS: Ideas are inspiring, mind games misleading and arguments alarming this week when trivial disputes can damage friendships, so avoid condemning strange behaviour despite what you privately think. Illuminating insights are available about your own reactions, which could instigate profound changes in your relationships with others. G GEMINI: Your forte is the light touch, which this week’s edgy interpersonal pressures need. But others will take offence if they feel they’re not being taken sufficiently seriously, so be guided by the image of skating on thin ice and keep dancing as elegantly as you can manage. H CANCER: This week’s heightened intuition is a combination blessing and curse. While the upside allows acute insight into the nature of recurring problems, the downside can feel like psychic overwhelm to you sensitives. Definitely a week for limiting exposure to energy-draining personalities and/ or substances.

Mungo’s Crossword

I LEO: This week’s piquant social bouillabaisse steams with tasty possibilities, which could easily bubble over into tiffs, hissy fits or bitter bickering. As ambassador for the Ministry of Smooth Sailing, your mission is to lower temperature levels rather than stir the pot – to cool and sweeten the mix. J VIRGO: This week’s good news: interesting invitations, unexpected offers. Not so good: an irritability factor off the Richter – yours and everyone else’s. Best way to operate: getting everyone involved on the same page and keeping in mind this transit’s three important C-words: communication, connection and cooperation. K LIBRA: Your ruler Venus retrograde till June 27 asks whether what you’re presently engaged in is really, truly, deeply worthy of your committed energy and attention. You may suddenly be at a crossroads, facing a choice. This week sends helpful friends and mentors with valuable clues. L SCORPIO: As this week downloads essential messages from your subconscious, spiritual guides, inner wisdom, whatever, this massive rewiring can be mentally stressful, especially if others are morphing into scary versions of themselves. Quiet, integrating downtime is your best recipe for dealing with rundown and burnout.

to surprise audiences while touching on contemporary political issues once again. Lorenzo The Libidinous Lion Tamer (aka Thomas Bailey) is also a originally from Tasmanian theatre companies, but has recently launched himself on the local theatre scene. Lorenzo’s hilarious, and his act involving comedy, circus and the taming of wild animals was recently seen at the Ukitopia Festival 2011, Studio 44 Dragons and Drag Queens Cabaret. Others may know Thomas from his outstanding and much talked-about performance at last year’s Cabaret 360, in the role of a Japanese business man with his blow-up doll. Thomas is sure to be an audience favourite once again. Cabaret 360 will run over two nights, Friday and Saturday, in the Uki Hall. Tickets will be online from www.ukitopiaartscollective. com. Wine, beer, hot drinks and cakes will be available for sale on the night. For more info go to www. ukitopiaartscollective.com.

Some of Australia’s most-loved actresses star in the new Australian comedy Biddies, which takes a lighthearted look at being female (and mature) in today’s world. Biddies, by renowned playwright Don Reid, plays at NORPA Lismore City Hall on Friday 15 June at 7.30pm. Biddies follows the highly successful 2010 production Codgers, the award-winning comedy that dealt with the senior Aussie male in comic and touching fashion. ‘ Codgers was unashamedly about men,’ says playwright Don Reid. ‘Many of those who saw it, very often female, asked me, “Well and good, but how about a play dealing with women?” The idea became irresistible.’ In Biddies, a group of ordinarily marvellous women find themselves back in their infants school classroom plying their needles in a good old-fashioned session of ‘stitch and bitch’. Their confessions are frank, their rivalries intense and their jokes outrageous. They discover a common frustration with the limitations of being female and mature in a world still largely defined by men. For tickets call NORPA Box Office 1300 066 772 (Mon–Fri 9am–2pm) or purchase online at www.norpa.org.au.

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm In a match he described as the toughest of his life, World Champion Viswanathan Anand retained his world title against challenger Boris Gelfand in Moscow but only after a series of four rapid tiebreakers which could have gone either way. ‘The only feeling I have is relief,’ said Anand after the final playoff game ended in a hardfought draw, leaving him with an 8.5-7.5 final margin over Gelfand. ‘What can I say? It was incredibly tense and the match could have gone either way. After we drew the first 12 games the only thing that could separate us was the rapid games and things really went my way today. My nerves held out better and I hung on for dear life.’ Showing the speed and coolness under pressure which has characterised his career, the Indian Grandmaster stayed ahead of Gelfand on the clock at the key moments in the 25 minutes per player tiebreakers and Gelfand was unable to break through Anand’s defences

M S AGITTARIUS: If people you thought you knew seem to be suddenly showing their true colours this week, or at least a completely different side of themselves than you were aware of, then discuss what you’re feeling and sensing, however weird. Stay calm, keep cool, listen to your intuition. N CAPRICORN: This week’s mental chemistry makes you feel you’re in total rapport, but are you sure? Surprise! Others you thought were on the same page mightn’t even be reading the same book. But late-week Capricorn moon sees you back safely in the driver’s seat of the Goatmobile. O AQUARIUS: Aquarians being radical types, you’re either scintillating in the social sphere or closeted in deepest introspection. Either way, it’s an easy week for small, annoying mistakes and losing things – like friendships – through idiotic misunderstandings. Remember others do have feelings, even if it’s not evident from their behaviour. P PISCES: This week shines a harsh spotlight on selfdefeating interactions with others, but also makes information available about behaviour more likely to achieve the results you want. It highlights the difference between faux fantasies and achievable dreams, between denial and what others more kindly call blind spots.

Anand with wife Aruna after the match

in any of the four games. The Israeli challenger could only rue his missed chances, saying, ‘It was a very equal match. I had an edge in most of the tiebreak games but my problem was always my lack of time - I made blunders in the second and third games. Anand, who was a heavy favourite at the start of the match, admitted that he thought he might have lost the world title after losing the seventh game to fall behind Gelfand in regulation time with just five games to play. Anand said that he had never been sure of victory: ‘I never felt like a favourite – I know Boris too well for that. I am just relieved.’

1. The sweet 1988 comedy Mystic Pizza (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm) is about the coming of age of two sisters and their friend through the romantic lives of the three main characters: Kat Araujo (Annabeth Gish), Daisy Araujo (Julia Roberts), and Jojo Barbosa (Lili Taylor), who are waitresses at Mystic Pizza in Mystic, Connecticut. In his screen debut, Matt Damon has a small part with one line of dialogue: ‘Mom, do you want my green stuff?’ The title of the film was based on the Mystic Pizza shop in Mystic, Connecticut, popular among locals and tourists since 1973. There’s also a Mystic Pizza restaurant in Sunbury, Victoria: www.mysticpizza.com.au. 2. Deborah Mailman and Jim Bani star in Mabo (ABC1, Sunday, 8.30pm), about a man who triumphed over Joh Bjelke-Petersen’s racism and the bankrupt notion of terra nullius. According to the ABC synopsis, ‘In 1973 Eddie “Koiki” Mabo was shocked to discover that the ownership of the land his ancestors had passed down on Murray Island for over 16 generations, was not legally recognised as theirs… In January 1992, at only 55, Eddie died of cancer. Five months later the High Court overturned the notion of terra nullius.’ The ABC site www.abc.net.au/tv/mabo also has a ’classroom’ where you can learn more about the Mabo decision and Native Title in general.

cinemareview myself inexplicably entangled when one of the girls miscarries. It’s a terribly sad moment. From then on, despite my better judgment, I maintained an interest in the comings and goings, trite and stereotypical though most of them are. But that’s the thing with movies like this; if you’re in the mood to let your brain float in warm custard for an hour and a half you can’t beat ’em. The climax, naturally, comes with the births and if the gold standard for such scenes was set by Truly, Madly, Deeply (1990), this one pulls out all the stops in an effort to top it. A cast in cruise mode – Banks and Dennis Quaid are reliably good – make it not disagreeable. ~ John Campbell

over-35s with a bunny in the oven. Brooklyn Decker, Banks’s younger mother-in-law, is knocked-up with twins and the adorable Anna Kendrick (remember her as the bright If you have been wondering young thing in Up In The Air?) why you’re not seeing Rebel Wilson doing those Jenny Craig finds that she’s also in the family way after a one-night weight-loss ads on TV any stand with her wickedly cute more, I’d suggest it’s because she’s found it more lucrative to ex, Chace Crawford. Poor old Jennifer Lopez, try as she and hang on to the kilos in order her husband might, just can’t to play the token fat (foolish) crack it for a baby, so they chick in Hollywood sitcoms. do the next best thing and She turns up here working in a toddlers’ shop that is run by opt for the Ethiopian orphan Elizabeth Banks, who is about package. And then there is to fall pregnant for the first the gang of pram-pushing time. Cameron Diaz, looking blokes who get together in more like a plaster cast of Central Park to make lame gags herself every day, is the TV about their role-swapping host of a ‘biggest loser’ show emasculation. It sounds daggy and she will represent the de luxe, doesn’t it, but I found

What To Expect When You’re Expecting

Get The Gringo What’s wrong with Mel Gibson? What’s eating him? If a man’s artistic output can reasonably be taken to be a reflection of his mental and emotional state, then Mel is one sick puppy. Not that I didn’t enjoy this movie (which he co-wrote) – and it feels oddly like a personal failing to concede such. We meet Driver (Gibson) as he is being pursued across the desert by the cops. He’s just pulled off a heist and, with two million bucks in the boot, he crashes through the Mexican border, totals his car and is picked up and incarcerated in a nightmarish open-plan prison. The gaol, a microcosm of what lies outside its walls, is full of tough hombres, but none of them are tougher than Mel, and none can match his rat-cunning. As the outsider who is among us to right wrongs, he takes under his wing the cheeky gamin who is being kept alive so that his liver might be transplanted into the top crim who runs the joint. Meanwhile, the crook who was relieved of the two mill has sent his goons to find the money – their shoot-out is grotesque even by Gibson’s standards. Intricately plotted, precisely paced and executed with polish and panache – Benoît Debie’s grainy, high-saturation cinematography perfectly sets FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED

the ominous tone – the movie’s underpinning strength lies with the intriguing portrait of its leading man. The title exposes Gibson’s sense of persecution and, as a loner in a dog-eatdog world, much is made of his craggy face, his gravelly voice and his forty-year smoking habit. And in one extraordinary scene, he impersonates Clint Eastwood in a way that hints at his desire to also be accepted into the fold of Hollywood’s much-loved veterans. The epilogue, however, leaves us in no doubt that Gibson will not change his ways, and that he foresees plenty more bumps along his path. But as Driver says in the opening voice-over: ‘There’s nothing worse than a sad clown’. Maybe self-awareness has come to Mel after all. ~ John Campbell

The Way Tom Avery (Martin Sheen) is an ophthalmologist in California. On the golf course, he takes a call from France. His 39-yearold son, Daniel (Emilio Estevez), has been killed in the Pyrenees, having just set out on the pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Tom flies to France to retrieve his son’s body – the identification in the morgue is heartbreaking – but while he is there he determines to have Daniel cremated and the ashes cast along the 800-kilometre trek. That he is an eye doctor is the essential metaphor at the heart of the story, for Tom’s enlightenment will enable him to see the world, and his place in it, in a new light. Reduced to the basics, this is a road trip, albeit on foot and with staffs, with a strong spiritual component. But Emilio Estevez (Sheen’s real-life son) has created a thing of simple but profound beauty that is

From Canada, Sarah (Deborah Kara Unger) has vowed to give up chain-smoking, while the mad Irishman, Jack (James Nesbitt), is a writer in need

of a muse. Camaraderie is forged between crusty Tom and his three unlikely partners as, over shared meals and nights in various hostelries, they all confront their deeper motivations. Gorgeous merely as travelogue (the views are specky, the churches inspiring), the inner journeys of Tom, Joost, Sarah and Jack, all of them coping with love and loss in some form, delve deeply into our shared humanity. If you are of a disposition that is more likely to be drawn to the mystery of faith than to the blind certainty of atheism, you are bound to be overwhelmed by this movie. And if you are of a certain age, you will be drenched in sweet memory – I know I was. Check it out. Cherish its message of hope and wonderment. ~ John Campbell

I remember several years ago when Tristan Grier confided his plans for Harvest. The very old bakery was going to be restored. They would bake their own bread on the premises. Then there would be a delicatessen alongside the restaurant. A private room for dinner parties. Vegetable gardens which would supply the kitchen. Listening to this tall, lean and polished young man I mused wryly to myself at the extent of his ambition, about the reality of country life and the hospitality industry’s place within it. How misplaced were my reservations – how middle-aged my cynicism. Sitting opposite Tristan now in the Krug Room at the back of the extensively refurbished 100-year-old bakery prior to a tour of the kitchen gardens and a browse in the deli, I can almost see the triumphant ticking off of all those ambitious achievements.

Tristan and his equally leggy slender wife Kassia – they sound like a ballad, or characters out of a a 19th century bodiceripper – took over Newrybar’s Harvest Cafe a little more than five years ago. They were working there at the time for former owners Gary and Emma Sharman, having met and fallen in love at The Bower Room in Byron Bay, forerunner to The Balcony. ’At a certain point,’ Tristan tells me, ’Gary suggested we buy the place – within six weeks it was ours.’ Harvest, a mere twist off the Pacific Highway as you head south from Bangalow, has always been a charming destination restaurant, especially for lunches out on the wooden verandah of the century-old cottage. They started doing dinners a couple of nights a week over summer and I recall my enchantment at fabulous food, city-slick service by gloriously, funkily-attired waitstaff and an atmosphere almost lyrically romantic.

Welcome for dine-in or take-away. Great breakfasts Delicious lunches Fabulous coffee

The Restaurant at The Byron at Byron Breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days 77-97 Broken Head Road Byron Bay 6639 2111

The bakery is manned by Frenchmen Pierre and Dimitri – Saturday mornings the queue for fresh loaves is almost legendary – but it also serves as a function area for Sunday afternoon events like roasts or seafood feasts or live music. At its back and cosily warmed by its wood-fired oven is the Krug Room where for $400 a group of eight people are presented with a bottle of Krug champagne and a butler and of course the absolute privacy of their own room. The deli and the raised-bed gardens are the latest developments. At the launch of the former I had to remind myself that I was not, in fact, in inner-city Sydney or Melbourne as chic strangers waving champagne flutes picked at platters of charcuterie and imported cheeses while at the room’s rear an entire cow was suspended, fashionably, to dry-age. With cheeses costing up to $100 a kilo I wonder aloud to Tristan how might such an operation be sustained. ’We know it’s a bit of a push’, he replies, ’but people are ready and open to it.’ And despite the fact it costs them $10,000 a week just to keep it open, it’s ticking over, he says. ’People come in and drop $100 without blinking.’ Deli manager Ben Hickson adds, ’if something’s good people are willing to pay for it.’ Like the gardens, it feeds into the restaurant: this was always part of the dream, that they be completely selfsufficient. ’It’s only now,’ Tristan says, ’that we are harvesting our own stuff – being true to our name.’ It’s that and the offering of fundamental hospitality which drive Tristan and Kassia – a holistic approach to it all, perhaps. ’It’s growing your own veg, baking your own bread,’ he tells me. ’It’s getting across the festival of food, food as celebration. That’s what gives Kass and me the most kick.’ As I drive away I reflect that this stylish pair have not finished yet. The Orion Curry House has had top reviews by international travel magazines as the great curry house by the sea. The annual winner/finalist of the Indian Award of Excellence, the Orion is also producing the best coffee by Segafredo, continental all day breakfast, lunch, curry house dinner, and the mystical ambience to match. Come and enjoy our winter special 10% discount. RSVP for private functions in upstairs lounge is recommended.

Hope for orphans in the mountains of Timor-Leste Marco Goldenberg

There’s a magical place up in the mountains of Timor-Leste, near a little town called Gleno, where some 25 children who lost their parents to war and illness found hope. It’s called Familia Hope and it’s magical, not for its spectacular natural beauty or amazing architecture, but for its statement of harmony, kindness, generosity and resilience among humans of all ages. My friend, John Bailey (aka Uncle John), who is the Australian coordinator for Hope Orphanage, took Alasdair Bacon and me up to this place to bring some improvements to the buildings. We spent 12 days working, teaching the boys some skills and Howland, Roma Elizabeth, passed away 29 May 2012. Aged 86 years Loved Wife of Derek and loving Mother to Penni, Nick, Kim and Mark.

learning from them about the simplicity of a life that holds joy, harmony and hope. Now if the word orphanage evokes thoughts in your mind of miserable, undernourished children, ‘please sir may I have some more’ kind of place, forget all that. It is just a family, a big family that seems very happy. Most of the kids are now teenagers and live three to five in a room, with minimal furnishings and few personal belongings. Each room has a small common cupboard and a desk, some bedside tables and neatly made up beds with Teddy-bears resting peacefully on some of them. The rooms were always squeaky clean and tidy, which is easier to achieve not having

If you wanted something done you asked Anton, one of the oldest boys. He will quietly delegate it to someone and it’s done. Instructions seem to flow between the kids according to some hierarchy which was not entirely clear to me, but I witnessed no fuss, no apparent objections or ‘why me? – you do it’. Our initial plan was to spend a few days touring the country in a 4WD, but somehow we lost all interest in that. We had set our work targets and were desperately eager to achieve them, what more, we were having the time of our life. True, we haven’t seen much of the country, but we’ve seen much more.

One would expect Nona the caretaker to be barking orders all day but somehow it all seems to flow like magic. You’d see someone lighting the wood fire in the kitchen at 5am then a few girls will join in preparing breakfast, a couple will be wiping the floor (which seems to be done constantly) and little 9-year-old Imelda will be walking around with a bucket of water nearly as heavy as herself in one hand and a mop in the other. There’s a sense of natural hierarchy and mutual respect.

The country is yet to fully recover from the destruction of the war, and poverty is prevalent. A steep concrete driveway leads to a small courtyard surrounded by five simple buildings consisting of an outdoor wood-fire kitchen, large semi-alfresco dining area, caretaker house, a visitor’s room and an eight-room dormitory. On week days they walk to the school in Gleno, 1.5km away. Due to a shortage of classrooms and teachers, the school operates in two shifts of morning and afternoon.

Brave enough but not good enough Taking martial arts to the extreme

It was one in, all in for the Giants defence at Les Donnelly Field on Sunday Story & photo John Campbell

No self-respecting rugby league team – and the Mullumbimby Giants are certainly that – ever wants to be felt sorry for. It’s a tough game in which quarter is neither given nor sought. Pity is for sooks. Anybody, however, who witnessed their effort against the Murwillumbah Mustangs at Les Donnelly Field on Sunday could not have helped but feel some sympathy for a side so harshly misrepresented by the final scoreline. A try after the full-time siren, giving the visitors a 44–6 victory, was worse than horribly unjust. With only a draw to their credit this season, the Giants needed to withstand an initial onslaught that had them defending grimly from the kickoff and not getting their hands on the pill until five minutes had elapsed. On their first trip into Mur’bah’s half, secondrower Aaron Cook lobbed a kick sideways to Sean Watkins who took it with aplomb and stormed in to put Mullum ahead. Watkins, it should be noted in dispatches, is one of the Under 18s to whom Coach

Graham Eadie has successfully given a baptism of fire –Jack Gosiewski and Zac Docking, if boys against men, also let nobody down. The Mustangs replied with sustained pressure and crossed twice, only to be rightly denied by the ref, before the big fat bloke who they had skirting on the fringe of the ruck monstered his way over to make it 6-all. ‘Just keep it simple!’ yelled Eadie, who has become much more vocal as he has got to know his boys. That they immediately punted the ball out on the full would have busted his nuts big time. Mur’bah got the roll-on, scored again, and from the resumption nailed a 40/20. The try that ensued suggested that the contest might turn into Daffy Duck v the Steamroller. The game’s heartbreaking moment came following an intercept by Watkins. Mullum were in a position to press, but poor options and mishandling thwarted them. The Mustangs capitalised when their hooker snaffled a loose ball and, showing surprising speed, ran sixty metres to the line. Trailing 20–6

at the break, local hearts sank. Five minutes into the second stanza, the Mur’bah centre gathered a cross-field bomb to stroll over untouched. Mullum’s gut-busting tackling was undone by poor positional play. The end was nigh, but the Giants, on an Old Boys’ reunion day, were too proud to turn it up. Unable to capitalise on the chances that came their way, the Giants were sloppy at the most inopportune moments and did not help their own cause by being penalised twice for giving lip to the ref – the man with the whistle doesn’t change his mind because you think you’ve been hard done by. Get it, guys? The Mustangs’ ball security was superior throughout and, playing an unrelenting, direct brand of footy, they will certainly be there or thereabouts when the whips are cracking in the semis. As for Mullum, they lost no friends with their unflagging spirit. You get the impression that, when that first sweet victory comes, it will raise the roof of the clubhouse. It’s bound to happen soon.

Olympian and Mixed Martial Artist Chris Brown schools Extreme MMA’s Ben Pietzsch in the art of saying ‘uncle’ during a training session at the Byron Bay Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that allows competitors to both strike and grapple, standing and on the ground. Last week Melbourne MMA fighter and coach Chris Brown spent some time at the local chapter of the club to coach some of the locals in some of the finer points if the art. But Chris’s fighting career started in a different arena. Though Chris has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and is a successful MMA fighter, Chris is also an Australian freestyle wrestler who competed at five Olympics from 1980 to 1996. His best result was fourth at the 1984 Olympics when he lost in the bronze medal match of the featherweight class to South Korean Lee Jung-Keun. Chris has also participated in Submission Wrestling and MMA matches, scoring a win over world-renowned Renzo Gracie in an Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) submission

The Pocket’s rocket is rally king Playing by the rules Play by the Rules has recently been given fresh life with a national promotion campaign and increased online resources. Almost a decade old, it’s a unique partnership between the Australian Sports Commission, all state/territory departments of sport and recreation, plus anti-discrimination agencies throughout the country. Targeting sports and recreation clubs, administrators, officials, coaches, players and spectators, it aims to keep sport safe, fair and inclusive. The program will be pro-

moted nationally for the next two months via a community service announcement featuring some of Australia’s most well-known sports stars. Athletes such as Brett Emerton (Socceroos), Saia Faingaa (Rugby Union), Sally Fitzgibbons (Surfing), Usman Khawaja (Australian and NSW Cricket), Ellyse Perry (Women’s cricket/football), Brad Sewell (AFL) and Johnathan Thurston (NRL) have lent their generous support. ‘It’s great to have the enthusiastic support of these national

sporting role models,’ said Paul Oliver, National Manager of the program. ‘Representing a range of sports and cultural backgrounds, their involvement reinforces our goal of addressing negative issues in sport and ensuring that all participants feel included and can enjoy a safe environment.’ The Play by the Rules website provides a range of free information, resources, policies and online training for grassroots sporting and recreation clubs and organisations. Visitwww.playbytherules.net.au.

Magpies blow away Tigers Pete Burrey with the weapon of choice, the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO.

The Pocket’s own rocket – rally co-driver Pete Burrey – is back on the road this season in a new team with Driver Clinton Arentz. The team has just completed the second round of the Australian Tarmac Rally Championship, finishing first outright at the tough 20-stage 300km Snowy River Rally in southern Victoria. The result now places them first outright in the championship with the final two rounds to be contested in

August and November. Clinton and Pete will also start their assault on the Octagon championship, a four -round series commencing in August with Targa Adelaide and culminating with Targa Tasmania in April next year. A Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 10 is the weapon of choice and is sponsored by The Winston Group and is prepared and supported by the team at TMR Ralliart Australia. Peter says he is very im-

pressed with rookie Clinton’s ability. ‘Although this is only Clinton’s third rally ever, he shows an amazing natural ability’, says Pete, who is a veteran of 20 years in the sport. ‘Combined with his methodical approach to the sport he is sure to be a name to look out for’. You can follow progress of this racing team by going to www.mountainmotorsport. com.au and www.targaadelaide.com.au.

The unbeaten Tweed Tigers travelled to Bangalow to meet the Byron Shire Magpies this week. In slippery but quite good conditions, considering the rain we had this week, Byron got away to a great start and seemed to catch the Tigers flat footed. They booted three goals for the term while Tweed remained goalless. Tweed came out in the second quarter and banged on three quick goals. The game was becoming very physical with both sides giving away a

few unnecessary free kicks. Byron regained their composure and went into half time with a 13-point lead. Consistency was the name of the day as Byron booted three goals and Tweed two goals for the third quarter. Byron went into the final term with a 20-point lead; this quickly blew out as the Magpies managed five straight while keeping the Tigers scoreless for the quarter. In trying conditions the Magpies’ accuracy around goal was amazing,

only kicking four behinds for the day. The final score for the macth was Byron 13.4.82 to Tweed 5.12.32. Byron goals – Shayne Baldwin four, Matt Shaw three and one each Mick Hosking, Sean McQueen, Rohan Hussey, Joel Johnson, Jared Balchin and Liam Afflick. The best for the Byron side were – Sean McQueen, Rohan Hussey, Shannon Davidson, Shayne Baldwin, Nathan Moon and Sam Mitchell.

‘Injuries above the neck don’t count’ Legendary Australian football coach John Kennedy.

Sometimes it is easy to forget the difference funding can make for athletes on the ground. Sarah Tait is captain of the Australian Rowing Team. Sarah’s coach Bill is also her husband and together they have a two-year-old daughter, Leila. A mum and dad forming an athlete/coach Olympic partnership does not normally allow for great family-friendly practices. The Tait’s have made huge sacrifices and Sarah’s mother relocated from Perth to assist with the demands of the joint roles of parenting and training. Their personal dedication and that of their family has been recognised by assistance made available to them as part of a Rowing Australia initiative, made possible by the Australian government’s Green

<echowebsection=Sport>

and Gold support package. This funding will enable athletes’ children and their carers to travel and be accommodated at the Australian Institute of Sport’s European Training Centre at Varese in Italy for four weeks. The innovative approach to supporting the families of athletes came after an average performance at the world games in Lucerne 2011; shortly after the team relocated to the AIS European Training Centre. Families spent a dedicated period with athletes during the training block. Rowing Australia’s corporate operations manager Matt Treglown said the grants had lifted the performance of the team in 2011 – evidence enough for Rowing Australia to continue the scheme in 2012 at a cost of

$100,000. Sarah’s performance has the tick of approval from her husband and coach, Bill. ‘From a coach’s point of view, we get access to our best female athletes for more Olympiads.’ Bill said he was confident Sarah was tracking well in the lead-up to the London Games: ‘Sarah’s doing significant PB’s this year in basically every activity.’ A number of Olympic rowing team members are women with young children. Dana Faletic has a three-year-old son; Dana like Sarah Tait was clear that the Green and Gold funding is helping to keep families together will make an impact in the lead-up to the London Games.‘That’s making all the difference. Otherwise I couldn’t go, I couldn’t do it.’ www.echo.net.au

Comprehensively covering the Far North Coast

Housing affordability ‘heading in right direction’: HIA Another rise in the HIA-Commonwealth Bank Housing Affordability Index in the March 2012 quarter marks the fifth straight quarter of improvement. Conditions are beginning to tilt back in favour of those trying to enter the housing market, according to the Housing Industry Association. The HIA-Commonwealth Bank Housing Affordability Index improved by 6.4 per cent (3.7 points) in the March 2012 quarter to be 11.0 per cent (6.1 points) higher over the year. ‘In the March quarter we observed a modest increase in earnings, a modest decline in lending rates and a softening in the median dwelling price, so all factors moved in a direction that improved housing affordability,’ said HIA’s senior economist Andrew Harvey. ‘Cuts to the RBA cash rate totalling 50 basis points in late 2011 should have provided a much larger boost to affordability in the quarter but the impact was eroded as lenders widened the

margin between mortgage rates and the cash rate. After accounting for the wider margins, the average mortgage rate during the March quarter was only 13 basis points lower than in the December quarter. ‘Those trying to get a foothold into the housing market will welcome the recent improvement in affordability, and we should see further improvement in coming quarters as the May rate cut flows through. ‘However, we should be mindful that much of the recent improvement in affordability is driven by a cyclical softening in the economy and in house prices. Structural issues that dramatically push up the cost of housing, including high taxes, still need to be addressed and reformed.’

Byron Shire’s highly-paid general manager Graeme Faulkner has resigned, declining to give reasons for doing so – as if the ratepayers who funded his job weren’t entitled to have one. Despite Faulkner’s assertion he was ‘happy’ at Byron, the ongoing acrimony with mayor Jan Barham was hardly a secret. Cr Barham is entirely right in saying that the new council after the September election should choose a new GM – one of the senior staff can be acting GM in the interim. It would be unkind and stupid to lump the new councillors with a GM they didn’t want.
