Page calls on venues to act Chris Dobney & Hans Lovejoy

Pressure on Byron’s liquor industry to enact stricter measures against alcohol related violence have escalated after Ballina MP Don Page issued his strongest statement yet on the issue. ‘I’ve attended two of the three community meetings held in Byron Bay and the overwhelming feeling is that something has to be done about alcohol-fuelled violence late at night, especially on Friday nights and weekends,’ Mr Page said. ‘We cannot allow our reputation to be trashed by alcohol fuelled yobbos off their face committing violence and engaging in other anti-social acts.’ He has thrown his weight behind a call from Tweed-Byron acting inspector Saul Wiseman for the imposition of Newcastle style restrictions by the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing (OLGR). ‘Newcastle introduced a 3am closing time for all venues, lockouts at venues from 1.30am and restrictions on the sale of high alcohol content drinks (such as shots) after 10pm. We should be introducing similar or even tighter measures in Byron Bay.’

Accord meets It comes as the Liquor Accord met Monday, March 4, to work on its constitution and vote on an updated list of terms. As of going to press, The Echo had not been informed of the outcome; however, it will be reported on www. echonetdaily.net.au when available. Accord chair Hannah Spalding told The Echo last week, ‘The Accord feels strongly about setting a voluntary set of measures to assist in addressing the current situation in Byron Bay. The issues in Byron Bay cannot be solved solely by the actions of the Accord and

we believe that an approach including an increased police presence, improved infrastructure such as lighting and transport, along with the measures that the Accord will undertake is the approach to address the current concerns in Byron Bay.’ As for an earlier lockout, she said, ‘I do believe that there is not solid evidence that early lockouts work in all applications, yet discussions within the Accord in relation to lockouts has continued.’ One of the suggestions raised by police was to provide late night buses from the CBD. When asked if that would be considered by the Accord, Mrs Spalding said, ‘In principle, the Accord supports late night transport – there have been two previous bus services supported by the Accord (Night Rider and a Blanch’s bus service) to assist with people getting home late at night.’ Meanwhile, police have increased the issue’s visibility in recent weeks by posting crime reports on social media. And last week OLGR served five Byron Bay venues with ‘show cause’ notices regarding practices that encourage the misuse and abuse of alcohol. The previous week police announced a prominent Byron Bay venue had been caught serving underage drinkers during schoolies week last year. Byron United (chamber of commerce) has yet to make a public statement on what measures it considers should be adopted to curb alcohol related violence. Its president, Paul Waters, who is also the treasurer of the Liquor Accord, told The Echo he will be meeting with the BU board on Tuesday and will make a subsequent announcement.

Without rain, there would be no rainbows

The Byron Spirit Festival was a surprising success despite the often challenging weather. But Mullum again put on a great show, with 14 indoor venues and mostly mud-free access between them. Festival director Alex Grant said, ‘With more than 1,000 paying attendees the numbers were slightly up from the first year, which was a surprise considering we must have lost some day ticket holders who would have been flooded out.’ With a continuous joyous buzz from 8am to midnight, the event attracted spiritual punters from all over Australia and overseas.

Council’s $12.7m budget blowout Hans Lovejoy

Byron Council’s new general manager (GM) Ken Gainger has walked into the job with a $12.722 million budget deficit. Expenditure, the identification of new recurrent revenue sources and a rationalisation of Council’s property portfolio are now under review after the announcement was made public at last Thursday’s meeting. Cr Alan Hunter, who provided a summary of Council’s financial position, said of the revised budget estimates for 2012/2013, ‘We have a month to turn it around, and we have to make some significant changes.’ However, GM Gainger told The Echo it was ‘important to note that

<echowebsection=Local News>

the estimated operating expenditure reported, comprising $74.739 million, includes provision for an annual estimated (paper-based) depreciation expense of $16.496 million.’ He says that the depreciation expense is a cost that ‘represents the annual consumption of the useful life of the Council assets,’ but emphasised it is not a ‘cash related expense’. ‘While all NSW councils are required to report an operating result including depreciation charges,’ he said, ‘the result does not equate to a cash loss. Byron Shire Council’s estimated operating result is not dissimilar to other surrounding councils,’ Mr Gainger said. ‘Excluding depreciation, Council estimates it will generate a surplus of $3.774 million; however, this is insuf-

ficient to fully fund capital works and Council’s significant loan principal repayments.’ Cr Alan Hunter told The Echo, ‘Council is likely to continue to be under significant pressure given the current circumstances from recent heavy rain and weather events and the forecast of still more to come. Council’s estimated legal service reserve of $609,000 would be very helpful in improving conditions for residents at Coopers Shoot or Wilsons Creek.’ Mr Gainger echoed the financial manager’s view, telling Council that this was ‘unsatisfactory’. He says staff are working on financial strategies to progressively improve Council’s financial position, which will be discussed later in March.

Byron CBD gets a spruce up Despite Clean up Australia Day being officially cancelled due to inclement weather, it didn’t deter the hardiest of volunteers on the streets of Byron’s CBD on Sunday. ‘We are delighted with today’s efforts, considering the weather, and have managed to collect 15 bags of rubbish,’ said Byron United (chamber of commerce) president Paul Waters.

Anti-graffiti rampage He says his team also cleaned off hundreds of tags, posters and old stickers. While the clean-up concentrated around the main streets of Bay Lane, Marvell, Jonson and Middleton streets, Mr Waters is reported to have gone on an anti-graffiti rampage on bus stops all the way to Suffolk Park.

At 3pm, her luxuriant locks will hit the pavement outside her Chincogan Store as her head is shaved to raise money for cancer research. Having lost both her father and brother to cancer, Karyn is auctioning off the privilege of shaving her head to the highest bidder. So far, husband Col is in the lead with a $500 bid bringing her total to $1,500. Anyone can help support her commitment by dropping in donations or bids to the Chincogan Store in Mullum.

Mirth, mayhem and resolutions at Council Hans Lovejoy

The following are snippets and observations from Council’s Thursday meeting.

Disaster relief Federal emergency management MP Mark Dreyfus and prime minister Julia Gillard look set to be lobbied by Council after a motion was approved to step up efforts to address the dire situation for Upper Coopers Creek and Upper Wilsons Creek residents. Both roads suffered severe slips after the Australia Day storm, with Upper Wilsons Creek residents being completely cut off and reliant on supplies flown in by helicopter. Council are pushing for the area to be ‘declared’ as a disaster in the Australian government’s terms, which would trigger action on the care arrangements for those residents (including the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Program: AGDRP). The notice of motion also pointed to Tumbulgum, which was covered under the AGDRP for the same flood event. Upper Coopers Creek resident Duncan Shipley-Smith made a passionate plea for assistance

at Thursday’s public access. ‘We have had no success in getting compensated,’ he said. ‘Many are unable to work, or sell their property, and our cars are getting trashed.’ Mayor Simon Richardson said the system is flawed as assistance only applies to the entire shire, not a street or road.

Resolutions review A startling revelation was made by Karin Kolbe, president of Suffolk Park Progress Association, in morning access over past unresolved resolutions. ‘The Telstra tower, located at the Suffolk Park water tower, has been there rent free for ten years,’ she said. A foreshadowed motion by Crs Woods and Cameron asked staff to prepare a lease to Telstra and report back to Council. And as a result of Council Resolutions Review October to December 2012, workshops will be held by Council to address 16 unresolved resolutions. Ms Kolbe later told The Echo, ‘It was absolutely crazy what they (staff ) were trying to do. ‘I only talked about the issues I knew in detail – who knows what else was buried in there to which the new councillors would be oblivious?’

John wants tap back CSG in Byron Shire John Jackson addressed Council with threats of legal action if he wasn’t left alone by Council rangers. He says he was recently asked by rangers to move his tent in the pouring rain. ‘And it’s not a tent, it’s my home,’ he said. He also gave a long lecture on how the council is not recognised under the constitution and thus has no legal authority. ‘And please put back the taps that have been taken away at the surf club in Bruns so we can have fresh water,’ he said. Mayor Richardson said that while he wasn’t the ‘tap man,’ he would ask staff to look into it.

Cringe The Binge A commitment has been made by Council to work with Byron Youth Service (BYS) to support the development of the ‘Cringe the Binge’ campaign, which aims to reduce youth alcohol abuse. It will be part of a grant application to be completed this week, which includes lighting and transport components, with funding being sought through the NSW Department of Attorney General and Justice Crime Prevention Grants program.

Council will be writing to Dart Energy and the Aboriginal Land Council to ask if they will relinquish their petroleum exploration licences for Byron Shire. Currently both corporations have made applications for areas covering the north coast, but are yet to signal their intention to commence exploratory drilling in Byron Shire. Cr Woods, who penned the motion with support from Cr Cubis, said at the meeting, ‘We can only act for us, but this could spark more councils to follow.’ All voted in favour.

INSTORE DEMONSTRATION THIS WEDNESDAY MARCH 6TH 10.30AM – 1.30PM

White Paper reform Council will write to the planning minister, the premier and local member asking for at least six months of public consultation on the planning reform White Paper after it is released early this year. All voted in favour of the motion at last Thursday’s meeting, which Cr Wanchap penned. Her background notes say, ‘If the government’s early Green Paper is any guide then it will be a very pro-developer proposal with many, many challenges for local communities and the environment.’

Mullum units refused by Council Luis Feliu & Hans Lovejoy

A two-storey block of flats proposed for Station Street in Mullumbimby has been knocked back by Byron Shire Council, opening the door for a possible legal challenge. But so far that looks unlikely; proponent of the development, Mullumbimby businesswoman and long-time local, Eleanor Bartz, told The Echo she would go back to the drawing board

and resubmit another revised plan at a later date. During public access at Council’s Thursday meeting, neighbour Simone Ormsby said, ‘If built, this would shade my solar panels, garden and create mould. It is a total loss of privacy, and I would face total financial disaster. My house will be impossible to sell.’ And later during debate, councillors were clearly divided on the merits of the develop-

ment. Neighbours had objected to over its bulk and its impact on their privacy and local heritage. As in past debates, fears of legal challenges and calls for more mediation surfaced. Councillors voted 6–3 (Crs Diane Woods, Chris Cubis and Alan Hunter against) to reject the revised plan, which would have seen two dual-occupancy blocks developed opposite the Woolworths supermarket. The reason why the height

exceeded other dwellings, according to chief Council planner Ray Darney, was because the building plans adhered to Mullum’s flood plan. Mayor Simon Richardson had the last say. ‘We have to take a stand. The developers have had two chances and the residents need closure. There is always an option to mediate. ‘We are hoping they present us with an awesome design that we would applaud.’

Emmy winner, three time Grammy nominated recording artist and now Myocum resident, Toni Childs, is hatching a brand new project. ‘Citizens of the Planet’ is a multimedia, sound and vision project, and having just finished recording the album, Toni has engaged crowdfunding website Kickstarter to raise the funds required for the two hour animation she intends to use in the live show. She says, ‘It’s going to be like Ted Talks meets music! I need to raise $100,000 to pay for 14 animators to create interactive visuals and 3D mapping for an immersive music driven experience.’ She says those who make a pledge get a reward. ‘You come up with the notions,’ says Ms Childs. ‘Maybe it’s breakfast in bed with me or a sleepover, or people can send me a photograph and I’ll paint their portrait. The catch is if $100,000 is not raised by March 9, the pledges are no longer valid. Toni has raised well over $10,000 so far.

Byron taxi rank relocation mooted A meeting, planned within a month, will would look at moving Byron’s CBD taxi rank. Key stakeholders, including the a representative from ‘a local access committee’ and the Shire’s taxi service will be invited by Council to ‘review the location of the taxi rank in Jonson street and to consider a new location in the broader context of safety and amenity of the Byron Bay town centre.’ All councillors voted unanimously in favour of the motion at Thursday’s meeting, which

was put forward by Crs Di Woods and Basil Cameron. During public access, Sandy Andrell from Byron Bay Taxis addressed Council and said that the current location is the safest place in town, and any move would have to be ‘carefully considered.’ She also said that her company wants to be involved in the process. ‘The security guys from Cocomangas help when needed’, she later told The Echo, and that the ‘NSW taxi council has guidelines to assess or plan a taxi rank.’

‘Transport NSW funds taxi rank security personnel in many areas in NSW,’ says Ms Andrell. ‘They have told me many times that there is no funding for any additional hours to what we currently have. I told the Council that there would not be (funded) security available for any extra ranks around town, which was another of their ideas.’ The taxi rank is currently currently located opposite the Great Northern Hotel and outside Cocomangas nightclub on Jonson Street.

Celebrating the Aquarius Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortieth anniversary Harsha Prabhu

I will never forget that first ride into Nimbin. After placing all our worldly possessions in storage, my partner and I drove up from Melbourne with our baby son. It was a cold night and the winding road and dark, brooding landscape added to the mystery, the promise, the romance of the occasion. It was the fourth of July and to us, it felt like a kind of liberation from the dead gulches of suburbia. That was in 1991 and much

has happened since that heady time, but the magic of that first encounter will always be with me. Nimbin taught me much: living on the land, self-governing communities, alternative energy systems, environmental activism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and much of it followed a steep learning curve. But for this education, gained while grappling with leeches, tick infestations and the vagaries of a 12-volt drip-feed battery bank, I am forever grateful.

The Nimbin Aquarian wave broke on the shores of Byron, making the shire an icon of environmental consciousness, carrying a message of peace and planetary healing to the world.

Where happiness and economics meet ‘the conditions of well-being’. ‘Also competition, which, in Latin is competere, means ‘to strive together.’ ‘The future economies of wellbeing will be based on genuine competition, reciprocity and shared responsibility.’

Hans Lovejoy

Wellbeing economist Mark Anielski is putting into practice his dream: to design, build and enhance economies of wellbeing around the world. Starting with his home town of Edmonton in Canada, he says, ‘We formed a new cooperative business enterprise, Genuine Wealth Inc, with the mission of helping individuals, businesses and communities develop a new economic paradigm and operating system.’ ‘It’s where the optimisation of wellbeing will supplant the current narrow focus on profits and GDP (gross domestic product) maximisation.’ Anielski also says he is currently working with Tahiti’s government to ‘transform this island paradise into the first working model of an economy of wellbeing.’ For over 60 years, he says, Canada and the western world’s accounting systems, ‘have measured progress too narrowly,’ and are based on ‘how much money changes hands as measured by the GDP.’ And now it’s time for a complete overhaul. ‘We are working on the redesign of our money and banking system where money will no longer be created in the form of debt, which is around 98 per cent of the world’s money supply.

Gross National Happiness index Mark Anielski is author of The Economics of Happiness: Building Genuine Wealth. He will be presenting his vision at the Economics of Happiness Conference at the Byron Bay Community Centre on March 15. For more visit www. theeconomicsofhappiness.org.

‘Instead, money will be created in relationship with the five capital assets – human, social, natural, built and financial. Optimised, they provide the highest returns of wellbeing and happiness for local communities.’

Money is debt Economics is failing humanity, he says, because it has lost touch with the original meaning of words associated with economy. Derived from Greek, economy translates to the wise management of households. ‘Economists have forgotten the meaning of words like wealth, which originally meant

And solutions are already in practice, such as in the country of Bhutan, located at the eastern end of the Himalayas. For some years now they have been pioneering a wellbeing accounting system called a Gross National Happiness (GNH) framework. ‘We need more leaders like Bhutan’s prime minister Jigme Yoser Thinley, who states unequivocally, “In Bhutan, personal spiritual fulfilment is not just a spiritual pursuit, it is government policy. My role is to help create conditions that will help our people find happiness.”’ Anielski says Bhutan’s GNH provides a pragmatic approach. It measures the wellbeing conditions of a nation that align with the values of its citizens and thus has a chance of measuring what matters most to people. ‘It provides a more balanced accounting of progress that balances economic development objectives with the happiness aspirations.’ The challenge, of course, is to adopt similar thinking on

local, national and global level. ‘What if our economic systems were genuinely managed to optimise wellbeing and happiness? What if CEOs of corporations, prime ministers and presidents were chosen based on their capacity to improve the genuine wellbeing conditions of their companies and their communities? He says the challenges of redefining the nature of money, reclaiming its power over our lives and reinventing it to serve our genuine and common needs will require ‘virtuous actions of courage’. There’s no doubt it’s vitally important for humanity’s survival.

I remember the birth of my first child. I spent six months attending a weekly class to support me with the labour, and then suddenly I was holding a real live baby and I didn’t have a clue. For a lot of us, that confusion only increases as children get older and we as parents are expected to automatically have the skills to nurture, mentor and discipline a new generation. Truth is, many of us don’t, and many of us just end up improvising on old routines we learned from our parents, or read in magazines in doctor surgeries. Megan Edwards heads up the local chapter of ‘Hand in Hand Parenting’ in the north-

ern rivers and runs ‘parenting with connection’ workshops to give parents access to skill building so they can create the kind of relationships they want with their kids. ‘I think so many of us are trying to parent differently from how we were raised – parents

‘There is so much shame around parenting; we want to be doing a good job and we don’t want to show others when we are struggling because we are so afraid of being judged.’ So in a nutshell, what is the underlying thesis of the Par-

‘There’s a lot of difference between listening and hearing’ – GK Chesterton do that in each generation, but we don’t have the level of support we need because effectively we don’t have the wiring. ‘When we are stressed, we go to what we learned,’ says Megan. She also believes that parenting should be about creating community resource.

‘There will be opposition, but it is imperative that we remember the teachings of past generations and religions, which condemned usury as incompatible with a life of abundance and love. ‘Genuine wealth is built with every action and choice we make, no matter how small or large. Genuine wealth is achieved when our decisions and actions are grounded in core values that include love and respect for each other and the Earth, and a genuine desire to work together towards improving the wellbeing of both current and future generations.’

what they are working on with their children, without someone giving them advice or trying to fix it. ‘This approach is about building listening skills for parents to listen to their children, for parents to listen to each other… ‘We practise listening and remembering – all you need is someone to listen while you talk it out, and then once you can offload your brain starts to work and you can think clearly. You are the expert.’ Megan Edwards will be running parenting groups in March and April throughout the region.

such action could achieve. Was Australia to put a shot across the enemy’s bows, to board them and interdict their activities? And what if the Japanese, who do not recognise Australian jurisdiction in the area, resisted? What came next, a humiliating backdown or a declaration of war?

I’m not sure how many Koreans actually eat dogs but I do know that not many Australians eat kangaroos and very few Japanese eat whales. During the immediate postwar food shortages they did, because they couldn’t get anything else, but these days the meat is very expensive and, let’s face it, not all that palatable. Warehouses are full of the ‘scientific’ catch waiting for a buyer. A couple of years ago the

What’s wrong with piracy? The great Elizabethan seamen Sir John Hawkins and Sir Francis Drake were unashamed pirates by Mungo MacCallum to sort all this out was in the courts, not in the carpark. Australia’s case in the International Court of Justice is apparently creeping up the lists, but there is still no starting date, let alone an estimate of when a judgment might be expected. And once again, there is little hope that the Japanese would accept a contrary verdict. The heart of Australia’s challenge is that the claim of scientific whaling is a fraud; even if the science is there, killing whales to secure it is totally unnecessary. But it would appear that the Japanese now regard this as irrelevant. In his public defence of Japan’s position last week, the new fisheries minister, Yoshimasa Hayashi, did not mention the word science once. Instead, he insisted that it was all to do with Japan’s culture: as Koreans had a culture of eating dogs and Australians a culture of eating kangaroos, so Japan had a culture of eating whales. And of course, it was a basic part of their food supply. Well,

lacked accoutrements like peg legs and eye patches. ‘When you ram ships, hurl glass containers of acid, drag metal reinforced ropes in the water to damage propellers and rudders, launch smoke bombs and flares with hooks and point high powered lasers at other ships, you are, without doubt, a pirate,’ the judge ruled. He was upholding an appeal by the ICR that it should be allowed to pursue a case for damages against Sea Shepherd, which it will now do. As Watson points out, the judge’s writ does not run to the group’s Australian branch or the Southern Ocean, so will make no immediate difference. And in any case, even if all the charges were true (and he says they are not) well, so it goes. Sea Shepherd’s logo is clearly based on the skull and crossbones of the Jolly Roger, so the association cannot have escaped keen observers. But in any case what’s wrong with piracy? The great Elizabethan seamen Sir John Hawkins and Sir Francis Drake were unashamed pirates, harassing the Spaniards in the Atlantic to the secret delight of their Queen although she had to disown them to the Spanish ambassador. The first Englishman to set foot in Australia in 1688, William Dampier, gloried in the name of pirate. Watson and his fellow campaigners are following a great and honourable tradition – one could even call it a culture. So yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, me hearties – back to the bounding main. Gillard and Burke may shake their heads in public but one suspects that privately they, like the vast majority of Australians, are cheering you on.

government tried to deal with the glut by mandating whale as an occasional lunch for schoolchildren, but a stubborn public rejected the idea. There were better and cheaper ways to eat. The real reason for Japan’s whaling is neither scientific nor culinary, and it isn’t cultural either – except in the sense that that Japanese have a culture that resents being told what to do by foreigners, and especially ones seen as former colonial powers. The Japanese whale not from conviction but from cussedness. This is why Glen Inwood, of the so-called Institute of Cetacean Research (ICR) says that the Japanese would like to resume the hugely uneconomic practice of commercial whaling – just to give countries like Australia the finger. It will be a hard argument to counter in the ICR. And in another court Sea Shepherd didn’t do so well last week.

Thanks for the decision

Many thanks to Crs Richardson, Dey, Wanchap, Cameron, Spooner and Ibrahim for rejecting DA 10.2012.149.1 (five units in Station Street, Mullumbimby). It has shown me that these particular councillors are capable of good thoughtful governance on our behalf and are willing to listen to community concerns. Not so for Crs Cubis, Hunter and Woods who voted to accept the DA but could offer no salient reasons why they did so. Chris Cooney

Mullumbimby Q Council’s decision at last week’s meeting to not approve the development of a largescale block of flats in Mullumbimby township’s heritage area was a big win. It will help preserve the beautiful historic ambience of Mullumbimby and prevent the demolition of old houses being replaced by double storey brick flats, as happens in the city suburbs. The developers (an old Mullumbimby family) now have a chance to design something smaller and more in keeping with the surrounding architecture and to take into account their neighbours’ right to privacy. At the meeting the planning department indicated the owners could build two houses and two granny flats on the site. I really hope the family can call up their community spirit and make it a win for everyone.

Two cons and a pro for rocking Belongil Q I find it extraordinary that the majority of the Greens are behind a move to overturn Byron Shire Council’s 25 year old policy of Planned Retreat, complete the transformation of Belongil beach into a pile of rocks, and in the process destroy Byron’s best remaining shorebird roosting and nesting site. In response to a succession of cyclones eroding the coast and washing away houses, a major study in 1978 identified coastal areas expected to be eroded over the next 100 years and options for dealing with it. It recommended against rock structures at Belongil and New Brighton because they accelerate the erosion of the beach. The loss of Belongil beach is already well advanced due to illegal rock and rubble works. In 1986 Byron Council’s Coastal Erosion Committee, after considering all options, recommended adoption of what is now called Planned Retreat. The concept of Planned Retreat is to allow public beaches to migrate inland in response to coastal erosion by moving private houses out of the way. Byron’s DCP (Part J) clearly states that ‘Rock, concrete and like hard materials must not be used for the construction of beach protection works.’ It is a disgrace that the Greens are now backing spending our rates to construct rock walls in a futile fight against rising seas and increasing storm intensities in direct contravention of Planned Retreat. The loss of a public beach and shorebird nesting area is apparently just collateral damage. Byron Council’s abandonment of Planned Retreat began on 14 April 2011 with the decision to withdraw the draft Coastal Zone Management Plan after over a decade of development. It continues with the draft LEP’s proposals to excise significant areas from the coastal erosion zone for intensive development. Now it is rock walls. As global warming gathers momentum the costs of maintaining rock walls will rapidly

escalate and suck in more of our rates, until the rising seas eventually overwhelm this costly folly. It’s not as if Council has anything better to spend our rates on, is it? Dailan Pugh

Byron Bay Q Edited for length Q Despite Mary Gardner holding an MSc in biology from Auckland University it is apparent from her article in last week’s Echo, ‘Restoring Belongil nature’s way,’ that she knows little about the forces behind coastal erosion on the north coast of NSW. Let me pre-empt the criticisms that will flow from this letter by confirming that I believe that it would be preferable in a perfect world, that the forces of nature held sway over humanity in all regards and that those forces be allowed, unfettered, to pummel humanity in any way they see fit. But it’s not a perfect world; humans have decided to protect themselves from the forces of nature and in the case of coastal erosion on the north coast of NSW, rock walls have proven very effective. Firstly let us look at how the rock wall that currently protects the main beach area of Byron Bay came into being. In January 1974, Cyclone Wanda crossed the coast at Maryborough, Qld. The intense low of this cyclone together with the accompanying heavy rain raised the sea level at the Brisbane River bar to three metres above mean high tide, the highest on record. At Byron Bay the sea level had risen to roughly the height of the car park and the crests of the bigger waves were running down Jonson Street. There was about two foot of water in the paper shop and about half that over the floor of the Great Northern Hotel. About 20 metres were lost along the beachfront in one single morning’s high tide and dire consequences for the town were feared with the expected onslaught of the evening tide. Council trucks started dumping rocks off the

remains of the beachfront, the sea level subsided and, gradually, changes occurred over the years at the beachfront until you have the current groyne situation. The ’74 events have not yet been repeated but they will return. Does anyone seriously suggest that Byron Bay should be allowed to fall into the sea? Humans will attempt to retain what they have decided is the status quo. They may lose the battle but they will try. Now let us briefly look at breakwaters from say the Clarence through to Kirra. Most but not all of these have been constructed by state governments to facilitate the passage of water craft in and out of river systems. They fall into two categories. Those that have been constructed underneath substantial headlands on the south side, the Clarence and Evans Head, and those that have been constructed without such protection. In the case of the Clarence and Evans Head you will not see a build up of sand on the southern side because the breakwater is inside of the northern sand flow that comes around the southern point. In almost all other cases you will see that there is a substantial build up of sand on the south side of the breakwater. In some cases, such as at Kirra Beach and Fingal Beach, the build up has been spectacular, but in all of these cases there is the undesirable consequence of erosion on the north side of the breakwater – unless of course, as in the case of Ballina, the walls are pretty well hard up against a northern headland. That erosion is what’s happening at the Belongil at the present time. Thus, for Byron Bay the solution that will have to be faced in the long term is a breakwater or at least pylons on the south side of the Belongil, the contractors mak-

I was very nervous but I thought I managed to impart that Grays Lane once again was almost impassable. We had been cut off by flood waters all this week and three days the week before and I appreciated that after all the storms most people had problems. But I thought I explained that for six weeks before the storm we had been asking for the road to be graded. Sixteen years ago Grays Lane would be graded three times a year but since the opening of the highway from the Gold Coast the traffic down to Tyagarah Beach and TeaTree Lakes has tripled. We get graded three times a year and after about six weeks with the increased traffic the road is trashed. Not to mention that often the grading is done just before Christmas and Easter and then we have three months of horror road before it gets graded again. I also added that there had been three cars roll or run off the road in the last three months; that every year Grays Lane is flooded three to six times up to a week at a time; that about two cars a year are written off trying to go through flood waters. Every time the road floods we have to leave our cars out on the highway and trudge through flood waters to maintain our lifestyle. At the end of all this did I really hear the mayor say we were lucky to get the road graded three times a year? Now that I

have had time to think about it, I would like to say, Mr Mayor, lucky would be if we had a council that graded the road before it became dangerous and destructive. Lucky would be if we didn’t have to spend half our lives in a brain-shattering drive across corrugations or weaving all over the road to avoid craters (not potholes). But even luckier would be if we had a council that fixed the road without us threatening to withhold rates or take legal action. That would be lucky. Gwen Gould

Bending the code

I can only conclude that John Lazarus’s gross distortion of a dismissed code of conduct action against Jan Barham (February 26) stems from resentment over his acrimonious departure from the Greens and his subsequent failure to be reelected as an independent. Then Byron United president Ed Ahern’s selection as citizen of the year was a result of an (obviously unintended) mistake in process by the Oz Day Committee. In appointing a selection subcommittee of two and then rubber stamping its recommendation they acted outside their terms of reference. Considering that one of this subcommittee then voiced grave reservations over the process, Mr Ahern was effectively selected by only one person. Hardly Mr Lazarus’s ‘democratic process’.

Come R OLL and U P! R join OLL the c U P! ircus !

This understandably upset Jan Barham as Mr Ahern/BU had run a $50,000 (from undisclosed sources) pejorative campaign attacking and misrepresenting Council. The phone call, subject of the complaint, was an effort to establish what had happened and obviously distressed the staff member who would have understood the circumstances. The complaint, however, was not initiated by this staff member but by a senior manager, a close confidante of the GM. It was then pursued with great vigour and cost to the detriment of the staff member, Jan Barham and the ratepayers. The GM appointed an independent reviewer who subsequently had to be dismissed (after much resistance but with a big bag of money) for a perceived conflict of interest. Another reviewer was appointed who, much later, declared the complaint unfounded. The matter was brought to Council for a final decision accompanied by a ‘report’ from the GM which, contrary to the Code of Conduct, sought to denigrate Jan Barham and her supporters and retry the whole complaint. The councillors had really no option but to support the independent reviewer but only one made any comment on the GM’s behaviour. The new code removes the GM from the ‘gatekeeper’ role in complaint management. Tom Tabart

Like Susan de Groot Heupner (February 26), we have been troubled by the ticket prices for our upcoming Economics of Happiness conference, and have been going over the figures in an attempt to make them more affordable. We would have loved the whole event to have been completely free of charge, but even though some of the speakers are paying their own airfares, a conference like this costs real money that somehow has to be recouped. The good news is that, having covered most of our basic costs by full-price tickets, we now have a very special offer: just $50 for two-day passes (Saturday and Sunday). These tickets include all the plenary sessions via live video feed, plus access to the World Café and the full program of workshops (24 so far). I hope Susan and many like her will take the opportunity that these tickets provide. Come to the conference full of ideas to share with an extraordinary array of economists, bestselling authors and indigenous activists from more than a dozen countries! At a time when so many people are feeling despondent about the state of the world, this event will offer a coherent and hopeful vision for the future.

A few more CSG letters from our large haul Matthew Warren, Chief Executive of ESAA (Electricity Supply Association of Australia) and Rick Wilkinson, Chief Operating Officer of APPEA (Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association) expect voters to readily believe that without CSG mining in NSW we will have less money to provide hospitals, schools and transport. What a sham. Voters are smarter than that. Past poor decision-making by the two major ruling parties in our country has created a manipulated, false framework enforcing dependence upon fossil energies that directly affect your health, our habitat and climate change. Huge bully corporations have steered this outcome from the wings. If full ethical support for renewable energies was introduced there would be many more jobs for a very prosperous, happier and healthier country. Both the ALP and the Libs have fed a smear campaign against intelligent politicians within the Australian Greens for decades. The Australian Greens is the only party that has stood firm demanding urgently-needed renewable energies and real change across political portfolios to sustain us and future generations for centuries to come.

It is time. Time for we, the people, to stand up and say no more. You know what to do September 14... Louise Somerville

East Lismore Q Following on from Martin Nicholson’s letter, the strident protests aimed at preventing the exploration and development of coal seam gas are seriously misguided. Massive energy is consumed by the vast range of industries and commodities that sustain our lifestyle. Currently, in Australia, this energy is produced primarily in coal fired power stations burning coal or lignite. Both are major contributors to unacceptable levels of CO2 emissions. Individuals, pinning their hopes that wind, solar and as yet undeveloped methods of generating energy sufficient to meet peak load requirement levels, are also being unrealistic. Wind and solar sources are intermittent, we cannot at this stage store the energy they produce and are unlikely to exceed more than 15–20 per cent of total energy demand for the foreseeable future. So how do we dramatically reduce CO2 emissions? The most obvious way, given our wealth of uranium, is nuclear reactors. However, at present

<echowebsection=Letters>

this is socially unacceptable to many Australians. So what is a resource we are now discovering in vast quantities that will fulfil the demand for sustainable peak load and reduce CO2 emission by up to 50 per cent? Coal seam gas! Now it is appreciated that there must be stringent rules in place to protect our aquifers and other important aspects of our environment. However, those seriously concerned to effectively reduce our CO2 footprint should look towards expeditious conversion of our power stations to our newly found gas reserves. David Rowlands

Ocean Shores If the world’s best practice ‘Gateway Process’ is not adequate for residential/equine/ viticulture zones, then the same exclusion should also apply to rural farmland in NSW. To provide protection for some sectors of the community but not agriculture is highly discriminatory and smacks of political opportunism. With six or seven 100 year extreme weather events in the past two years, it is clear that climate change is occurring and the major contributor is fossil fuels. Yet we continue to exploit coal and gas to sell to China, the biggest polluter in Asia. These Q

exploitive industries are overseas owned and the short-term benefits of royalties and jobs are abysmal when compared to what is being taken out of our country. Coal and CSG mining are leaving us with a legacy of irreparable gigantic holes, fractured and contaminated water strata, small country towns devastated by the fly-in fly-out policy and divided communities. There is a massive, judicial conflict between landowner rights to the surface of their land and Crown rights to the minerals under that land in that miners can destroy surface land, supposedly owned by the landholder, in order to build roads, wellheads, toxic holding ponds, lay pipes, etc. The current short-term thinking of the NSW coalition parties and the Labor Commonwealth government needs to change if Australia is to have a secure and sustainable agricultural sector to feed its growing population. We urge the government to reconsider its position and legislate to exclude all mining and CSG extraction from agricultural farmland so that all Australians can have a sustainable long-term future.

Full speed ahead, everyone: the iceberg is imaginary David Lovejoy

have been resisting doing one of those ‘mind at the end of its tether’ pieces – you know, when poor sick old HG Wells wrote humanity off a couple of months before the atomic bombs fell on Japan. Nevertheless, the state of the world seems to be worse now than it was in 1946, and the excuses fewer. One resists of course because unalleviated gloom helps no-one. If despair is justified, as Wells thought, expressing it is a waste of your limited breath; if it is not justified, it makes you look like a right wally. Nevertheless. In my case the sensation of everything collapsing runs through all spheres of life: the personal, the national and the planetary.

The only level where I think we’re still doing okay is the cosmic – the sun still has a few billion years and the heat death of the universe is even further away. But I’m evolved to think and feel in much shorter timescales. My own existence is winding down; nothing dramatic or – I hope – imminent, but energy drains more quickly and is slow to be replenished, gaps appear in the word hoard, in the memory. At dusk I can no longer even nick the shields I split at noon. Hell, I can’t even get laid. Personal decay is always the last thing to worry about. Life goes on all around you, and of course life doesn’t give a rat’s tail who lives it. But in order to be comforted by the succession of generations you have to believe that there is a rea-

sonable future in store. I find that I cannot believe this, either in the short or long term. Nationally, we are assured by every opinion poll and political commentator that in September a mediocre but hardly disastrous government is going to be replaced by one run by people like Abbott, Pyne and Abetz. But let’s not base this on personalities (one of the reasons public life is now so despised), let’s just say that policies which have worked to bring down interest rates, weather the GFC, restrict unemployment and build modest wealth are going to be scrapped in favour of cuts to schools, health and welfare, greater tax breaks for the rich, further appeasement of banks and miners, and demands for more ‘productivity’ from workers (code for reductions in pay and conditions). That’s just the economy. Imagine the attacks on the environment, on minorities and women in an Abbott-led government, or the fate of refugees when Scott Morrison is in charge of them (things can get worse if driven by vicious intolerance rather than political cowardice).

All this is depressing enough, but it is nothing compared to the real problem, the problem that we won’t even let ourselves look at. We talk about it, but we don’t confront it squarely and honestly; I think that’s probably because it is impossible to do so, given all the distractions and contradictions in our heads.

Pillaging the future We are burning the ground beneath our feet. We are overpopulating the planet and pillaging the future to pay for the present. The economic growth that politicians crow about is utterly unsustainable on the finite orb we inhabit, and with the demand of another two or three billion in the East to consume resources on the same scale as in the West we will soon need another two or three planets. If all this activity merely impoverished our descendants it would be bad enough, but it is much worse. We are emitting CO2 on a scale the atmosphere cannot handle without warming up, and the warming itself leads to further changes, the release of frozen methane, the melting of polar ice. If we cannot control ourselves there will

be a period of planet-wide upheavals before the climate settles into a new stable pattern. Unfortunately those upheavals will see the collapse of civil society, millions, if not billions, of human deaths, and species extinctions on a scale not seen since the Yucatan meteor. Even if we can control ourselves and take serious action from now on, what we have set in motion may be unstoppable. You have heard it all before. Unless you are deceived by the fossil fuel industry’s propaganda, scientifically primitive or simply in emotional denial, you probably understand the arguments and the evidence. Nevertheless we are all sleep walking towards disaster. Until recently I was sustained by the belief that when the chips are down human beings really do pull together for survival. The ‘Pearl Harbor Effect’ has been cited: Japanese sabre-rattling in the Pacific did not result in effective action, but as soon as the US fleet was bombed the country put itself on a war footing in a matter of days. Similarly, goes the argument, when there really is no choice governments will take the hard decisions,

even though delay will have caused massive damage. I now think we are going through something more like the ‘Frog in Warming Water Effect’. As long as the water isn’t boiling to begin with there is no discrete temperature that will force us to jump out, just as there is no discrete event that will prompt action on climate change. Solutions are complex and difficult but they do exist. You can imagine a world where energy comes from renewable sources. Forget the fossil-fuel industry cries that renewables are unreliable or won’t handle peak loads: a mix of such sources connected by a direct current (DC) grid would handle our energy needs just fine. But there are no economic or political mechanisms to get us from here to there, and vested interests will fight any attempt to find them.

Spurious solutions Instead governments are offered spurious high tech solutions by the corporate world: iron particles in the sea to increase plankton and the absorption of carbon dioxide, salt water in the atmosphere to generate more cloud cover, giant shade sails in orbit to shield us from the sun… What is happening is the result of the assumption that our world is so large it might as well be infinite. We are learning the hard way that it is not. Since human action, innocent but misguided, is the problem, it is clear that human action must be the answer. And here is the reason for my despair. The health of the world and the safety of future generations require that we make massive changes to our lifestyle now. No more tourist continued opposite

We argue whether to steer to the right or the left but when we hit the iceberg there will be few survivors. Most people don’t worry about the peril because they don’t believe in it. Or they believe it but they don’t really believe it. What grieves me is that I no longer care. I have made modest changes to my own carbon consumption, which was modest to begin with, but they are not really enough. I

have signed petitions, written articles, pestered politicians, and every action feels as futile as stabbing an oncoming tank with a feather. So I will not be writing about this again. Wells was dying when he wrote A Mind at the End of its Tether. Most of his life he was an optimist and a social reformer. He knew that in the light of our vast colonisation of the Earth no individual act has much significance. And yet he once wrote, ‘Every time I see an adult on a bicycle I no longer despair for the future of the human race.’

A growing trend in the dental industry within Australia is to have dental appliances manufactured overseas (China) at a lower cost. John Linton and Andrew Innes have been making dentures on the north coast for 25 years. The dentures are made in Australia by Australians and the boys stand behind their workmanship and service. All materials are certiﬁed by the TGA and none of the work is sent overseas as it is all made in the Ballina Dental Lab and Clinic.

Frankenreiter Talks About How To Start Livin’ FOLLOWING ON FROM A SERIES OF PACKED SHOWS EARLY LAST YEAR, SURFING TROUBADOUR DONOVAN FRANKENREITER RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA TO PLAY IS FAVOURITE TOUR ON HIS ANNUAL CALENDAR. WITH HIS WIFE AND KIDS IN TOW, FRANKENREITER HAS BEEN KICKING BACK AT THE GOLD COAST, TRAVELLING DOWN THE COAST FOR A SURF AND PACKING HIS GIGS INTO JUST THREE DAYS A WEEK. ‘It’s pretty intense being on the road for eight months of the year, so this is the one tour I really look forward to… it’s a crazy life; I have been doing it so long. Before the music I was doing it with surfing and travelling around the world, but then I wasn’t married and didn’t have any kids!’ Frankenreiter’s approach to his music is a bit like the approach that made his surfing legendary: he’s relaxed, not one to conquer the wave, but to become one with it. His latest album Start Livin’ has the same approach. It’s a celebration of everyday themes, and was recorded holed up in a southern California studio for seven days with his longtime bassist Matt Grundy – and no one else. ‘It was kind of interesting,’ admits Frankenreiter. ‘I didn’t know what to expect from day one. First day when you are in there, you hope the decisions you make are on the path that puts you where you want to be. There was a new guy engineering; Matt didn’t know the songs, but we recorded

live

Start Livin’ is a love album. ‘Most of the songs are about my wife and our two boys, and the life that we’ve built together in Hawaii.’ Thanks to Frankenreiter’s infectious warmth and finely honed pop sensibilities, each of those songs has the singular effect of drawing the listener into that bright and breezy world for a blissed out moment. ‘It was fun recording them. I didn’t play them during the two years since I wrote them – I wanted to keep them fresh. Writing songs for me doesn’t come easily; it usually takes me a couple of years to write an album. Songwriting is a particular thing. I couldn’t sing about anything; I have a good groove but I couldn’t just sing about apples and oranges. I think about the story and about what has to be said – but then you never want it to be too literal either…’ For Frankenreiter, the essence of Start Livin’ is most fully Shine first. From the beginning we got a formula: I’d sing captured in its opening title track. Accented by handclaps and he’d pick up an instrument and sing. Just two vocals and stick in your head harmonies, Start Livin’ is a feelgood, and two main instruments, then we’d build up from the track. I felt like I was really part of the track. It was a live take; uptempo call to ‘celebrate tonight’. To me the most we did the song three times, and we always used the first or beautiful thing about this record is it really reflects who I am today,’ says Frankenreiter. Start Livin’ means stop worrying second take because I always felt they were the freshest.’ about where you’ve been, where you’re going; just start Frankenreiter enjoyed the autonomy of being at the helm embracing what you have around you. Start loving what and making decisions in a fuss free environment. you have right now. ‘It was fun not having anyone else in there saying: I think ‘When I write songs I want to keep them direct and open you should do this or think you should do that. We were doing two or three songs a day; I had never done anything and when I play the music I am really, really happy.’ Drop in on Donovan Frankenreiter when he plays two like that – it felt good. I remember once I spent months on free Byron Shire shows this Sunday – 3pm at the Hotel a record; by the time I sang the song I was sick of it… after 20 takes!’ Brunswick and then 7.30pm at the Beach Hotel.

THE STRIDES AT THE BEACH HOTEL ON THURSDAY

BUILDING FLOATING BRIDGES With a flair for putting on live energetic shows, The Floating Bridges are one of the most exciting bands to come out of southeast Queensland! Blending an array of styles, they take on influences from blues, roots, reggae, funk and rock to create a fusion of earthy beats and healthy percussion. At the Henry Rous in Ballina on Saturday.

MOSES BRINGS AFRICA TO THE BYRON BREWERY King of afro beat, reggae, afro cuban and funk, Afro Moses O’Jah launches his latest album at Byron Brewery in a gig that also farewells the band, off on a South American tour. High energy dance music from a huge eight piece ensemble, guaranteed to keep the Brewery dance floor rockin’ till midnight. Every musician on stage comes from a different background, highlighting Afro Moses’s message of unity and individual beauty and talent. I Want 2 B Happy is the name of the new album, with 17 new tracks. Both in Australia and in Ghana he’s been voted Ghana’s best international music ambassador twice, and in 2012 he was honoured with the LIVING LEGEND award. Friday at the Brewery.

Dove Matrix bring life to the dance floor, with uplifting lyrics and beautiful melodies filled with an innate sense of soul. Dove Matrix will embark on a national tour in late 2013. With local vegetarian food available and beautiful art installations, there is something for everyone at this family friendly event. Drumming and chai starts at 5pm; DJs from 7pm onwards. $20 at the door! Saturday at Kohinur Hall.

FUMES AT THE NORTHERN

DRUM AND BASS UPPER CRUST Upper Crust Rhythm and Dance showcases some of Main Arm Valley and Byron Shire’s most potent artists. Be prepared to enter another world. It’s not just trance, drum and bass or chunks, it’s Valley Annex style. RAW.FLO and DOVEMATRIX are two acts that represent Valley style in two unique and completely different ways. RAW. FLO (Levi) is best known for his clean beats and creativity. His musical style is in a constant state of evolution. DOVEMATRIX in contrast combines the force of two of the valley’s great musical veterans. Valley based drum and bass duo, Caroline Agostini and DJ/producer/engineer Othabarii.

While ‘still’ writing, demoing and recording what was at first to be an album, then an EP, and now looking like becoming an album again, The Fumes are certainly not in a rush with this one, with material new and old up their sleeves, and testing out new songs live. After spending the last twelve months pushing and pushing for a release, a new plan is set to just relax and let it come organically, which seems to be working. Also, throwing longtime live engineer Ryan Hazell into the production mix, and as a basic third wheel, should have some interesting results. The Fumes play Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.

BOOK REVIEWS Blood Red Road by Moira Young ‘Lugh goes first, always first and I always follow on behind.’ Fearless and eighteen winters old, Saba’s world is a dust land with very little water and no laws. When her twin brother is stolen from her, she follows him and his captors through the nightmarish desert; which represents Earth’s future. The inhabitants of this futuristic dystopia refer to humans of the 21st century as ‘the Wreakers’. The novel’s plot develops at a galloping pace with plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader on their toes. Numerous, interesting characters are interwoven through Saba’s journey as she courageously searches for Lugh. The Canadian author Moira Young has composed a compelling and gripping novel that satisfies all my personal cravings for a fantastic read. It includes everything that I love: action, comedy, romance and animals. The author’s use of descriptive language makes me feel as if I am travelling by Saba’s side. As soon as I finished the first chapter, I knew that I was hooked. I recommend this novel for young adult lovers of action – but definitely not for the faint hearted! Review by Neve Kelly, Byron Bay High School 24 March 5, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater The book The Raven Boys, published in 2012, is a gripping novel that I thoroughly enjoyed the multiple verging plot lines. In the small town of Henrietta, Virginia, The main protagonist, Blue, has been told ever since she could remember that if she kissed her true love, he would die. She is the only one in her family that has the misfortune of having no psychic ability of her own. However, one dreary day, as Blue and Neeve (her aunty) sit on the remains of a churchyard fence, her life takes a drastic turn when she meets the wandering soul of the soon to be dead school boy Gansey. While the story starts from Blue’s point of view, the novel is also told from other characters’ perspectives, which allows the reader to individually get to know each of the Raven Boys from the Aglionby Academy: Gansey, who is obsessed with the supernatural ley lines (energy lines); Adam, who is an enigmatic character; and Ronan, who has held a secret for so long it has caused him to appear tough, mean and violent. Each of the characters

lived recording career with only two albums. Unknown to Rodriguez, his musical story continued in South Africa, where he became a pop music icon and inspiration for generations. Rumoured there to be dead, a few fans in the 1990s decided to seek out the truth of their hero’s fate. What follows is a bizarrely heartening story in which they found far more in their quest than they ever hoped, while a Detroit construction labourer discovered that his lost artistic dreams came true after all. Saturday at Federal Hall. Dinner from 6.30pm and movie at 8pm.

THE SHOE-HORN SONATA

is diﬀerent in their own way, which reﬂects the varied spectrum of society.

I liked all the characters though some were obviously meant to be disliked.

The novel explores the adventures of Blue and the Raven Boys, as they search for the sleeping King Glendower along the mysterious ley line, who will grant a reward for the one who awakens him. Their quest puts each of them in harm’s way as they ﬁnd that they might not be the only ones in search for the Welsh King.

I would recommend it to people who like easy reading books. Personally, it wasn’t for me.

The novel unravels like a rich tapestry, interweaving many different, exciting plot lines and colourful characters. The ending of the tale is unexpected and captivating. The Raven Boys is full of complexity, is incredibly gripping and a novel I would easily read again. I can’t wait until Maggie Stiefvater publishes the next instalment. Review by Isha Law-Stocker, Byron Bay High School

Timmy Failure by Stephen Pastis Meet Timmy Failure and his 1500 pound polar bear who own the best detective agency in the town, possibly the state, possibly the nation. I thought this book was quite funny, but a little slow moving.

Review by Tilka Fossemmalle, aged 10

The Dinner by Herman Koch The title, and even the cover, of The Dinner provides early warning that the reader’s stomach is in for some work. Set in a 5-star Netherlands restaurant, the story is concerned with two couples meeting over a meal to discuss a family crisis in which a son from each family has taken part in an awful, even disgusting, incident. The restaurant is replete with airs and pretence and, as such, provides a rich, if occasionally nauseating, backdrop for the discussion on how these two families digest an unpalatable event. In some sense the novel is all about appetite: the appetite for food, the appetite for love, the appetite for understanding and the appetite for power. The story is told by Paul, the less successful brother of prime ministerial candidate and popular celebrity, Serge Lomans.

From the outset, Paul openly scoﬀs at the pretensions of his brother, Serge. He presents Serge as smug, self-absorbed and rather vacuous, but in so doing, Paul displays his own acute sense of reverse snobbery. Paul presents himself as above his brother’s reliance on the trappings and artiﬁce of the affluent. Paul’s contempt for his brother’s opulent lifestyle provides a thin veil over a deep sense of resentment that he feels about his relative powerlessness. In fact, both brothers wear thin veils of social appropriateness barely covering contempt for, and aggressive feelings towards, others. The crisis that brought them to the restaurant involves an incident in which the two sons have openly displayed the same aggressive feelings and the parents will stop at nothing to maintain the veil of social acceptability. Herman Koch presents us with a very dark view of humanity, almost Freudian in nature. The novel works around the idea that humans struggle to present themselves as socially appropriate despite their unconscious primal desires. The Dinner is challenging in the extreme. It is not for the faint hearted. Review by John Mitchell

Nor are the lads presented as clichĂŠd The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president is Teddy easybeats (Gameau in particular Brown (Stephen Curry), a dour looks more than handy with the batsman happily trapped in willow) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are capable but a man/boy cycle of unending slow to grasp the significance of cricket seasons. He gets the what they have embarked upon; chance to live the dream of representing Australia when the that, in its own way, theirs is a pilgrimage. True to the spirit of Anglers wrangle sponsorship the game and, in the process, to participate in an annual explaining the mystery of the amateursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tournament to be head wobble, Hicklin nails it contested in India. The XI are a with a fantastic Bollywood song mixed bag â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Prince (David and dance version of Dreadlock Lyons) philosophises, Stavros Holiday.

It is fair to say that nobody expects Earth moving profundity from your run of the mill romantic comedy. But a modicum of wit and empathy can go a long way towards keeping a film in your head for longer than it takes to get from the cinema to Woolies to buy the cat and dog food. Sadly, this dreary little number has neither. Nat (Rose Byrne) is a high powered, painfully skinny businesswoman running a groovy advertising agency in London. Josh (Rafe Spall) is a struggling writer. As newlyweds, they are discovering that their match was not made in heaven after all. Temptation presents itself to them in the form of tanned and urbane Guy (Simon Baker) and mousy

ex-girlfriend Chloe (Anna Faris), each of whom is obviously a more suitable partner for the disenchanted husband and wife. Will the strained marriage survive into a second year? Quite frankly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to care either way. To say that any joke is not funny is a perilous judgment, for people are tickled by the darnedest things. While I sat through ninetyseven laughless minutes (it felt much longer), there were plenty around me who cacked themselves with mirth, primarily at conversation once considered vulgar but which is now the default setting for what is deemed sophisticated dialogue. Byrne appears bemused throughout, wondering perhaps how on Earth she was roped into such a venture in the first place, while Spall at no time comes to grips with a poorly drawn, unconvincing character. Baker, letting his raffish coiffure and chic stubble do all the work, has the gluggy magnetism of a poached egg, but Faris does well to provide the lacklustre ensemble with credibility and warmth. As Joshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gauche best man and longtime buddy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a staple ingredient in the genre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stephen Merchant is idiotic and crass. Coming to terms with a failed relationship is a subject not often broached in date movies and, though there is the occasional acute observation, it is hard to see this one establishing any lasting precedent. ~ John Campbell

Zero Dark Thirty Whether it was Homer telling through poetry of how the mighty Achilles was brought down by Paris, or the makers of the Bayeux Tapestry recreating pictorially the moment when King Harold was defeated at the Battle of Hastings, it has been the lot of artists to interpret for popular consumption the rise and fall of the timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heroes

and villains. This intense, exhausting and riveting movie is a meticulous account of the decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden. Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow (this is miles better than The Hurt Locker) opens with a black screen. We hear voices of people murdered on 9/11 making their last hopeless calls for help and to loved ones. Unspoken but palpable is a resolve to avenge their slaughter. At no point does Bigelow indulge in any populist diatribe against Islam or Arabs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but nor does she allow you sit on the fence. The cells of plotters, scattered around the globe, are the enemy and you must decide whose side you are on. Politics has no part to play in the story, and neither, thankfully, does soppy romance, as CIA agent Maya (Jessica Chastain) leaves no stone unturned in seeking bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whereabouts. Recruited directly from school, she is exposed to the brutal truth of her job as her mentor, Dan (Jason Clarke), tortures by water-boarding an al-Qaeda suspect. This is the raw reality of the 21st centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing, undeclared war. The early stages of the movie are confusing, but no more so than the labyrinthine networks that Maya must uncover while constantly struggling against an institutionalised gender bias. Interspersed with TV news footage of suicide bombings in London, at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad and on a US Army base in Afghanistan, Mayaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment becomes an obsession when a friend is killed. Much more in the vein of an old-fashioned, covert police man-hunt than an action-packed adventure, the climax, shot in real time, gives a white-knuckle insight into what happened when SEAL operatives finally stormed bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compound. Outstanding. ~ John Campbell

THURSDAY 7

1. Chas Liccardiello (the frantic one from the Chasers) and John Barron (a very conventional ABC journalist) make a good odd couple when they present Planet America (ABC News 24, Friday 7.30pm). Not quite as compelling as when the presidential election was on, the program still finds interesting US politicians and journalists to interview. 2. It must have seemed like a stroke of casting genius: get Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two most beautiful people and put them in a romantic thriller set against the backdrop of Venice. Unfortunately the producers saddled The Tourist (Go! Sunday 8.30pm) with a clunky plot, but worse, the actors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could not strike a single spark of attraction between them. A little reflection might have revealed why this should be so.

Service Directory SERVICE DIRECTORY RATES, PAYMENT & DEADLINE

VICTORIA COSFORD

DEADLINE: For additions and changes to the Service Directory is 12pm Friday

Talk over prelunch Negronis was all about generators. Who had bought one, the best types available, where they could be purchased, which size was the most suitable. Dan, shaking the cocktails and dispensing them to arriving guests, told me that they had so very nearly purchased one the previous day, if only in order that the long-promised lunch could go ahead. This was Sarah Swanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100 Mile Lunch, originally intended as an affair in the fields of their Myocum property, long tables spread with cloths and Mount Chincogan as backdrop. The world whipped into a frenzy days before to remind us of our paltriness. Leeches and mosquitoes and blackouts to urge our remembrance of what was truly important. Candlelit nights with the man I love â&#x20AC;&#x201C; red wine and his guitar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reassuring us we still had powerful, power-less resources upon which to draw. And the Sunday lunch to look forward to, which we kept expecting to be cancelled. Miraculously not, with barely a trace of rain by the time we located the property and the long, slightly whacky shed-like house where the lunch would now be held. Open both sides to unfurling countryside, two tables set for the twenty-odd of us, it was the next best thing to dining alfresco. After the generator discussion was exhausted and we had all compared notes as to our respective ordeals and deprivations, after the cocktails had softened our social stiffness and the tenderest vitello tonnato served in tiny cups to amuse our bouches, it was time to start lunch. Mismatched glassware and jars for condiments, retro jugs spilling native flora, locally-made pottery to showcase the food which followed: all this quirky, playful presentation provided the theatre for what we ate. Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own homemade ricotta â&#x20AC;&#x201C; drizzled with local honey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in big snowy balls alongside slices of the Billinudgel boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spicy salami, a bowl of sweet baby peppers roasted then marinated in herbs, garlic and orange, a jar of roasted and dressed Summerland olives. Heartbreadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sourdough and Harvestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baguette oven-warmed and chewy. One could have stopped there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except that to follow was lamb braised in milk accompanied by crumpled creamy-centred potatoes and red cabbage with cranberries. The lamb was one of Greg Cromwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greg himself one of the guests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the milk in which it had simmered and become so rapturously tender, along with garlic and sage and rosemary from the garden, had come from a nearby farm. Explosions of laughter periodically punctuated the afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feast. French-style, a simple and elegant little green salad cleansed our palates for the third and final course: a trio of Bangalow Cheese Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheeses matched with Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own mustard fruits. The washed-rind and triple cream bulged and oozed, demanding more bread in the form of little toasts; the mustard fruits in their rich syrup, plump and sweet and sticky. Did we need that final plate of homemade chocolate biscuits? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, confided the modest Sarah. Did I need two? It was an exceptional event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rustic and generous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and an example of the sorts of pop-up meals we are seeing increasingly as an alternative to restaurant dining. A beautiful meal shared amongst strangers; the rain paused, briefly, while it drew breath: we all needed so much cheering up.

BUILDING TRADES it up but coating it all in the compote. To make the scallopini: Dust the meat with flour, shaking all excess off before dipping in egg then, after dripping excess egg off, coat in the breadcrumbs. Refrigerate for up to 12 hours before frying. Using the reserved oil from the eggplant, heat the oil in a pan and fry the scallopini until golden, about 30 seconds on each side. Spoon some caponata on the plate and rest the meat scallops against it. We serve it here with peperonata, a beautiful capsicum relish.

Jenni

Flake is a beautiful black and white girl with a gorgeous, affectionate personality and pretty green eyes. She’s the kind of cat that will curl up on your lap on a chilly day and greet you hello when you get home. Flake is just so sweet! Come and meet her at the Cat Adoption Centre. 124 Dalley St, Mullumbimby. Open Tues 2.30-4.30pm, Thurs 3-5pm and Sat 10-12 noon. Call AWL on 6684 4070 COMPANION ANIMALS WELFARE INC.

Honey is indeed a sweetie. Very well adjusted and easy going. She is ginger and has given up looking after her kittens, some of whom have already been adopted.

All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

APPLY FIRST AID

Jenni is a desexed female Kelpie X, DoB 19/10/2012. She has absolutely beautiful markings. Mum was a working dog and dad could have had some terrier. She is slightly built. As well as being cute, she is a healthy, active pup. She has been brought up as an outside dog but has had some training and interaction with children. She gets on well with other dogs. Jenni is as bright as a button and wants to learn. If you can give Her a permanent, loving home, please phone the Friends of the Pound Rehoming Centre on 07 5524 8590 or Yolana on 0449 049136. Visit www.friendsofthepound.com to view other dogs and cats looking for homes.

PETS

As with all her fellow cats and kittens in the centre, she spends her days snoozing, socialising and no doubt dreaming of a world larger than the one room in which she now lives. To become a member of a family is her dream.

ASP World Champ awards on the Goldy Rainbow Dragons The world’s best surfers congregated on Friday night at the QT Hotel in Surfers Paradise to celebrate the 2013 ASP World Surfing Awards, officially crowning last year’s ASP world champions and welcoming in the new year. Australia’s Joel Parkinson, 31, long considered to be a threat to the ASP World Title ever since his entry into the world’s elite over a decade ago, was awarded his maiden crown last night. Amid a capacity crowd of the world’s best surfers and hometown supporters, the Gold Coast stalwart brought the house down with a heartfelt and emotional speech. ‘It’s beautiful to have everyone here tonight,’ said Parkinson. ‘We all come together and really celebrate last season among our friends and family. The new year, for me, begins tomorrow. Tonight, I just feel so fortunate to be up here and to be supported by my beautiful family. Sharing the glory: Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning (above) between them won the Fan Vote award I love them and am only here for Men’s Heat of the Year, and Australia’s ASP World Champions Joel Parkinson and Stephanie because of them.’ Gilmore below.

fire up the Snake It might be the Chinese Year of the Snake, but it was the Rainbow Dragons who enjoyed ringing in the new year the most. Rain didn’t quench the fire in the Rainbow Region Dragons recently when they paddled in the Chinese New Year Dragon Boat Regatta, a highlight of the dragon boating season, where these spectacular 12 metre long boats, flamboyantly decorated to feature the head and tail of the dragon, battle it out on the waters of Cockle Bay in Sydney’s Darling Harbour. Dragon boat racing has a rich history of ceremonial tradition, with dragons traditionally believed to be the rulers of rivers, lakes and seas, dominating the clouds, mists and rains from heaven. Each boat is large enough to seat 20 people with a sweep to steer and a drummer pounding loudly above the thrashing oars and cheering spectators. The paddlers in the Rainbow Dragons come from the Ballina, Byron and Lismore local goverment areas. Despite the wild weather conditions on Friday February 22 wreaking havoc with travel plans, most of the team arrived in Sydney on Friday night, after a day of diversions, uncertainty and waiting around. Some of their strongest paddlers were

stranded in Ballina with no flights available and were unable to attend. The Masters Women’s team on Saturday, with two paddlers down, won the race start in the first heat. A fourth place in their final heat demonstrated that they were able to keep pace with the frontrunners, showing they were formidable opponents. This was even more evident with the Masters Open team, which was up against some teams comprising nearly all men (RRDBC only had two male paddlers). They were therefore justifiably proud of their fourth place finish in the second heat, nudging out two other boats. Sunday morning saw RRDBC entering a team of 16 in the Cancer Survivors event. Despite being four paddlers short, the team earned high praise for its excellent teamwork, timing and focus. They were the fourth fastest team in the heats, winning a spot in the Major Final, where they shaved two seconds off their previous times. New paddlers are welcome to join the Rainbow Region Dragon Boat Club, which trains at Lake Ainsworth in Lennox Head. Phone Juliette Sizer on 0421 550 335 for more information.

Residential building - delicate recovery continues Preliminary ABS figures released on February 27 indicate that residential construction activity continued to improve in the final quarter of 2012. ‘Taken with other data published recently, these figures indicate that a tentative recovery may be underway in the residential construction market,’ said Housing Industry Association senior economist Shane Garrett. According to Shane Garrett, ‘it is encouraging that the actual volume of residential building work has increased for the second successive quarter following more than a year of declines. The fact that the pace of increase picked up supports the view that some momentum may be gathering in the sector. It is also welcome that growth is strongest in the most populous states. ‘Total residential building volumes in the final quarter of 2012 were up by 1.7 per cent on the previous quarter. This was Drn by rather brisk growth of 2.2 per cent in new house volumes, the cornerstone of the sector,’ he said. ‘However, residential building activity was only marginally ahead

compared with 12 months earlier. This was due largely to the continued absence of growth in the area of alterations and additions. ‘International developments since the middle of 2012 have been largely benign but uncertainties continue to plague demand. Furthermore, key sectors of the domestic economy are struggling with the strong value of the dollar. ‘Nonetheless, fundamental factors indicate that the current level of residential building activity is below the economy’s long term demands. It is incumbent on policymakers to ensure that activity is guided back up to its appropriate level in a timely fashion,’ Shane Garrett said. The performance of residential building continues to show significant regional variation. Overall activity was strongest in the populous states during the final quarter of 2012. Nationally, residential construction volumes increased 1.7 per cent on the previous quarter. Growth was significantly stronger in Queensland (+8.7 per cent) and Victoria (+4.5 per cent). This is particularly welcome given the raft of weak data emanating from these particular states over the last couple of years.

However, the delicate state of the market nationally is confirmed by the fact that residential building declined in all other states. Tasmania’s weak market recorded an 8.2 per cent fall in residential building activity. While Western Australia has performed strongly of late, the latest ABS data show that activity fell 7.5 per cent in the final quarter of 2012. South Australia (-2.1 per cent) and the ACT (-4.1 per cent) also saw reduced residential building activity. While New South Wales residential activity dropped by 1.6 per cent in the last three months of 2012, the state’s year on year growth registered an impressive rate of 6.3 per cent. This performance corroborates other recent data releases which show that New South Wales is experiencing some uplift in its housing market. The figures also indicate that renovations activity is providing important support to growth in several states like Victoria, WA and Tasmania. However, weak renovations activity has served to dampen growth in other states, most notably New South Wales and South Australia.

The call by Liberal Party immigration spokesman Scott Morrison, endorsed by Tony Abbott, for all refugees released into the community to be registered with police and have their presence notified to local residents has been welcomed by a number of other political groups, including The Australian newspaper. However, some citizens say Mr Morrison does not go far enough, and if we wish to keep criminals out of the community we should adopt mandatory registration of politicians, both state and federal, and notify people of their whereabouts, particularly during election periods. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The level of overt crime of course is not remotely comparable between the two groups,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says registered psychopath Eric Abetz, who supports the policy. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;After all, refugees are on their best behaviour, trying to deceive us into accepting them before they turn into hideous vampires sucking the blood of our virgin daughters. Nevertheless, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to keep tabs on the liars, swindlers and crooks who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even try to disguise themselves.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q Q Q Q

Reality is a mathematical structure, thinks MIT physicist Max Tegmark. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If the mathematical universe hypothesis is false, that means that the future of physics is ultimately doomed,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he says. That titbit is from the fascinating site www.kurzweilai.net, which also has an item about Caltech professor Carver Mead who believes the scientific revolution that began with the discovery of special relativity and quantum mechanics has stalled, and that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to us to kickstart it. Instead of just accepting the mathematics, he says, we should ask why constants like the speed of light should exist at all.

Philip Benwell, chair of the Australian Monarchist League, is an indefatigable fellow. Not a week goes by but a new press release of his falls from cyberspace into wastebins all over the land. Backlash is the only news outlet who takes him seriously, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually take him very seriously at all. This week Philip demands that treasurer Wayne Swan resign for having made some republican remarks, despite having sworn allegiance to the Queen six times! Philip is too polite to say so, but it is probably this flagrant act of treason which has made her majesty feel poorly enough to spend some time in hospital. All your loyal subjects humbly wish you a swift recovery, Maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;am.
