Site preparation works will commence this week at the proposed Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex on Ewingsdale Road, Byron Bay. Byron Shire Council executive manager community infrastructure Phil Holloway said the initial site works will include preparing site access points, installation of an office, power and water. ‘Once we have the office and staff in place, the trucks will start to arrive,’ Mr Holloway said. ‘Stage one of the project includes extensive ground works with fill and turf being laid on the site.’ Mr Holloway said some motorists may experience short delays on Ewingsdale Road as trucks entered and left the site. ‘In order to minimise any traffic delays, staffed traffic controllers will be in place to assist with truck movements.’ It is expected that trucks will be entering the BRSCC site on a regular basis over the next six months. Council recently approved over $3 million worth of tenders for the upcoming works. These include $1,043,707 to local firm J&M Bashforth & Sons for free-draining material, and $124,215 to Brunswick Valley Quarries for supply of pavement gravels. The Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex is expected to cost $16.8 million is supported through federal funding of $9.5 million.

Bluesfest impact on Mullum/Bruns traders an unknown Eve Jeffery

With the move of the Blues Festival from Byron Bay to Tyagarah, the towns of Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads have now become the closest satellites to the biggest entertainment event in the shire and local business owners are unsure of how it is going to affect trade. All of the Brunswick Heads accommodation is booked out for Easter, but it always is at this time of year. Bruns retailers have had a very rough

trot in February and March and are really looking forward to Easter. The town generally copes well with large numbers of additional day trippers, so the same should apply and the Visitor Centre will be open throughout Easter to look after visitor enquiries. Several of the Mullumbimby businesses, like Dennett’s, have said it is business as usual and some traders will still close completely for what is customarily a quiet time. Laurie Driscoll from the Court House Hotel in Mullum says that having one of

the biggest festivals in the country on the front door step is an unknown quantity. ‘It’s a bit of a crystal ball,’ says Laurie. ‘No-one really knows what will happen. Traditionally Good Friday is busy for us but we will have to wait and see.’ One might expect that gumboot sellers would make a killing, but in recent years there have been plenty of vendors on or near the site to capitalise on the wet weather. Gerard and Sue Walker of Stewarts Menswear say that they expect to sell more gum-

boots and ponchos but they usually do at that time of year and they will be keeping their usual Easter hours this year. ‘We close on Friday and open on Saturday,’ says Sue. ‘If there are a lot of people around on Saturday, we may extend our hours longer into the afternoon, but we won’t be open on Sunday.’ Emma Moses from the Empire Café in Burringbar Street is very happy about the change of festival venue. ‘We are not usually open on Sundays

and last Easter we were closed,’ says Emma. ‘We are going to open this year. We are looking forward to it. ‘There will not only be the locals around. During the festival there are people who come to stay with friends, or friends of friends – anywhere there is a free bed. It should be a great weekend and our whole family will be on staff.’ Mullum Chamber of Commerce president Bev Norton believes that the weekend should be a positive for continued on page 2

WORKSHOP ‘Biodiversity in the backyard’ Saturday, 27th March 1.30-4.30pm LOCATION: a backyard in Mullumbimby

Urban backyards can be wonderlands for a host of native wildlife.

Peter Rawson says that the role of the father is changing in many family groups. Peter is a family worker on the Fella’s Family Project through the Ballina-Byron Family Centre and he believes that many dads are trying to make more room in their lives to spend time with their kids. ‘Many traditional roles have changed,’ says Peter. ‘There are a lot of men who now work part-time and spend extra hours with their kids and in many families, it is the woman who has become the breadwinner while the men become house husbands and primary caregivers for children.’ To help provide a networking environment for these dads, Peter is the coordinator for the Ocean Shores Dads and Kids Playgroup. Peter says that it’s not only dads who come along to the group but on occasion granddads, uncles and mums. ‘We are heading into a new year and sending the message to local dads and carers about our Monday playgroup. We were well attended last year by a great bunch of local dads and carers and their kids.’ The group has a great selection of toys for the children and also provides literature and

the town and hope traders will take advantage of the opportunity. ‘With a bit of luck we can capitalise on the overflow from the festival,’ says Bev. ‘People will look to eat and find accommodation in town and there will be some festival patrons who will come to Mullum just to have a look. We need to look at all the possibilities.’ Although the police will have no more staff on duty than the usual Easter roster, the Mullum hospital is anticipating the possibility of a higher influx and has arranged for extra staff for the weekend. Brunswick Valley Coaches will run three shuttles out from Mullum in the morning and another three returning late in the evening, something that a few of the traders question, believing that festival goers will take advantage of the multitude of weekend car spaces in the town. The overall feeling is one of wait-and-see, but the hope is that the Bluesfest will create a busy atmosphere for traders over a weekend that sees visitors traditionally spend their cash in Byron Bay. ‘We are unsure of the impact it will have on the town,’ says Laurie Driscoll. ‘The idea would be for everyone to open their doors and see what happens.’

Come and hear about some of the fascinating wildlife inhabiting our local gardens and witness first hand some simple ways you can make your backyard more wildlife friendly.

ArtsCape biennial sculpture show launched

Trainer: Brendan Taylor

Queues wound their way up the steps to the back conference area at the Byron at Byron resort for the launch of artsCape Biennial 2010. To be held from June 26 to July 11 at Clarkes Beach Reserve, this outdoor sculpture exhibition was last held at Cape Byron in 2005. It is now to be biennial, the vision being to create a nationally significant exhibition in Byron Bay which showcases high quality contemporary sculpture in local landscapes of national significance. Curating the project will be the original founders of the event, Merran Morrison and Rebecca

The workshop is free for financial Landcare members and $5 for non-Landcare members. Afternoon tea provided.

Townsend, whose past experience includes the staging of outdoors sculpture events such as Bondi’s Sculpture By The Sea and the Casuarina Sculpture Walk. One of the aims of the launch was to announce the 65 sculptors – local, national and international – who will be showcasing their work at the event this year. Merran Morrison introduced the evening, saying that ‘it’s great to see how popular sculpture exhibitions are becoming in Australia. We feel we are developing an event quite unique, quite special to our area.’ Chairman Robert Bleakley

then spoke about the ‘process of maturation over five years’ undergone by this event, explaining that ‘the reason for the long gestation is that the event is an enormous undertaking.’ Merran Morrison told the crowd that there were 24 regional, 24 national and 17 international artists involved – perhaps the most exciting one being Bert Flugelman, possibly Australia’s most distinguished sculptor – or, as Merran put it, ‘the grandfather’. Julian Beaumont, National Gallery of Australia Foundation board member, former National Sculpture Prize judge and member of artsCape Bi-

ennial 2010 judging panel, explained that the theme for this year’s event was to be the environment and sustainability. Vice president of the artsCape management committee and restaurateur Ben Kirkwood told The Echo, ‘I believe it’s a great opportunity for Byron Bay to promote itself as a cultural destination rather than as just a party town.’ One of artScape’s initiatives, an extensive youth education program for local primary and high school students, will see experienced local artists working with the students to produce and exhibit an artwork at the exhibition.

Students learn sustainable shopping Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Ocean Shores Public School has extended the school curriculum to encompass some extra life skills which promote not only good health but also sound, sustainable thinking. The school has begun a program which sees a different class each week travel to the New Brighton Farmer’s Market in search of the most important part of a school day: lunch. While at the market, students shop at the various stalls for the ingredients and produce needed to prepare a healthy lunch. They then bring the produce back to school and with assistance, make their lunch for that day. This could include a range of sandwiches and rolls and fresh seasonal fruits. Last Tuesday, senior students found plenty to fill up their shopping bags with and left with bundles of fresh fruit including mangoes, bananas and grapes and other produce such as tomatoes, bean sprouts, spring onions and organic yoghurt.

Ocean Shores Public School students Luke, Liam, Zalie, Bethany and Rhye found fresh, sustainable produce at the New Brighton market.

The cost for students is $5 which covers the bus and food. The money is pooled, which encourages community spirit and cooperation and allows for a total of around $100 for the day. During the entire activ-

ity, students will be involved in things such as budget planning, a range of practical maths activities, learning to write and work from a recipe, while at the same time building understanding of the benefits per-

sonally, locally and globally of fresh products, healthy eating and good shopping habits. The farmer’s market is held on the oval at New Brighton from 8am on Tuesday mornings.

New sewage pump stations set to go, says Council The two new Brunswick Area Sewerage Augmentation Scheme (BASAS) pump stations are completed and ready to go, says Byron Shire Council. Located at Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads, the recently completed pump stations will feed into the new Brunswick Valley Sewage Treatment Plant (BVSTP) being constructed at Vallances Road, Mullumbimby. Construction of the pipelines between the pump stations and BVSTP, and a reuse effluent line back to Mullumbimby, was also completed as part of this contract. Byron Shire Council’s executive manager water and recycling Phil Warner said the pump stations and associated pipelines cost $4.1 million and saw the project reach a significant milestone towards the BASAS completion. Completed on time and within budget, the pump sta-

tions link the towns’ two new pipelines and use current technology to ensure minimal visual, noise and odour impacts. At a total project cost of around $39 million, the BASAS is due to be handed over to Council at the end of 2010 and will service the towns of Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads. Mr Warner said works on the BVSTP is progressing and extensive works including construction of concrete tanks and associated infrastructure were currently being built at the Vallances Road site. Commissioned over 30 years ago, the original Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) have reached capacity due to population growth in their respective sewerage catchment areas. The new STP will provide additional sewage treatment capacity until 2025. Mr Warner

said a main feature of the new BVSTP was the construction and operation of a physical, chemical and biological treatment plant. ‘The treatment plant will also see the end of effluent discharges to Simpsons Creek at Brunswick Heads and now be available for beneficial reuse on Main Arm farmland,’ Mr Warner said. ‘This will mean that not only can end users take advantage of the treated effluent and not have to draw irrigation water from the creeks, rivers and groundwater, but the BVSTP will only need to discharge into the Brunswick River in periods of extended wet weather. ‘The new STP will make increased volumes of recycled water available and treat water to a much higher standard than the old STPs. This will reduce environmental stress on the Brunswick River estuary

and contribute to a healthier estuary and river system.’ As part of the project in 2009, a section of the riparian zone at the site was revegetated with several thousand native trees. The area was rehabilitated in order to reverse the effects of a severely eroding riverbank, improve the water quality and improve riparian habitat for mangroves, fish and crabs. In conjunction with implementation of BASAS, Council is also doing extensive work on the Mullumbimby sewerage reticulation system to reduce the amount of stormwater that gets into the system in wet weather. Part of the work has involved Council helping landowners to identify defects in their private sewer pipes. The residents of Mullumbimby have been completing the necessary repairs and this will help to reduce high wet weather flows which lead to sewer overflows.

Awards handed out at Byron Bay film festival Closing last week’s Byron Bay International Film Festival the astounding My Suicide was voted Best Film. LA-based father-and-son makers of the film, Jordan Miller (red cap) David Lee-Miller (white cap) and Simon Rich (left) whose film Dark Horse won Best Short Film were all in the audience. Festival director J’aimee Skippon-Volke and the Southern Cross University’s screenwriting lecturer Hugh Burton (rear) presented the huge crystal awards. Another highlight was the award of the Best Byron Film – Parkway Drive – which focused on the rise to international recognition for local band Parkway Drive. Its director and drummer, Ben Gordon, was on hand to accept this award. Other winners were: best dramatic feature – The wind that blows in the meadow,

Iran; best doco – Mt St Elias, Austria/USA; best surf film – Fiberglass and Megapixels, USA; best environmental film – Pirate for the Sea, USA; best young Aussie filmmaker – Julian Shaw (Clearing the Air);

and best experimental film – 4, France. ‘The audience warmly supported the judges’ choices, even though some final decisions must have been difficult as the overall standard of the

films screened throughout the festival was very high,’ says the festival press release. More bout the Byron Bay International Film festival cen be found online at www.bbff.com.au. Photo Jeff Dawson

Another call to Woolies The Directors of Woolworths are being petitioned to ‘let democracy decide the impasse’ over the supermarket their company wants to build at Mullumbimby. A prominent advertisement placed in the Australian Financial Review newspaper last Monday – aimed directly at Woolworths directors and also the shareholders they rep-

resent – again presents an offer from the Mullumbimby Forum group (www.magicalmullum. com) to jointly fund an independent poll of residents. The Forum says it is holding over 1,000 signed letters opposing the supermarket. Woolworths has been claiming that a ‘silent majority’ supports its store plan and so far has no plans to change its mind.

A mobile education resource travelling statewide to raise awareness of dementia, the Alzheimer’s Australia NSW Memory Van was also visiting Ballina, Mullumbimby and Ocean Shores in a bid to educate and assist people living with the condition, their carers and health professionals. Educator Judy Bartholomew told The Echo that the vans had been operating throughout NSW for the last few years although this was the first time they had gone north of Ballina. ‘On a good day we’ll have

Van,’ she said. Those who come are ‘people worried about a family member or those who are worried about their own memories. ‘Mostly the people worried about their memory do not have dementia – their memory loss may be related to stress, vitamin deficiency or tiredness and we just recommend that they visit their doctor. We don’t fob people off, though, because they might be in the early stages.’ Alzheimer’s is the main cause of the overall condition known as dementia, constituting 50%-60% of the cases. It is a physical condition which attacks the brain, resulting in impaired memory, thinking and behaviour. Any person may develop the disease although it is much more common after the age of

65 years. ‘Risk increases with age,’ said Judy, ‘but it’s not a normal part of ageing.’ There is no cure although ‘research is happening. It’s still a long way off and we need more funding to put into more research. Over a quarter of a million people in Australia suffer from it and this will double in 50 years.’

The Van has several purposes. One is to raise awareness within the community – ‘There’s a lot of stigma, and we are trying to reduce that,’ said Judy. Another is the benefit of educating and informing sufferers and their families. ‘People in the early stages have said that they thought

they were going mad,’ Judy said. There is the need for families to plan for the future, dealing with issues like ensuring meals are organised, powers of attorney, guardianship. ‘It’s about supporting the families and letting them know they are not alone.’ Finally, there is the impor-

tance of raising awareness of the Mind To Mind program which looks at ways of reducing risk factors in the population, such as playing mind games like chess and crossword puzzles and cards; pursuing cultural activities; using a computer; learning a language. Ultimately, however, ‘people need to understand that just because there is a diagnosis it doesn’t mean they cannot go on enjoying things,’ Judy said. ‘Enjoyment doesn’t need memory.’ Alzheimer’s Australia NSW is the peak body for people with dementia and their families and carers, providing advocacy, support services, education and information. The Memory Van was made possible by Community Development Support Expenditure funding from the Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club.

New Mullumbimby social club offers support for carers in stressful times Victoria Cosford

The role of a carer can be both isolated and isolating, and increasingly so as the carer ages. Connect U is a regional program for senior parents of adult children who have a disability,

whose aim it is to address this. Running for several years and funded by the Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care, it operates between Grafton and Tweed, offering one-on-one support, holiday programs and social clubs.

Now there is a social club in Mullumbimby which, according to coordinator Christabelle Baranay, ‘is a way carers can meet, share experiences and information and form friendships.’ She told The Echo that ‘a lot of the time [senior carers]

haven’t looked for support because they haven’t considered themselves as carers, more as just parents – so they don’t know what’s available.’ As these senior carers age themselves, many of them find it more and more difficult to

cope with the demands of their disabled child. ‘We’ve developed a future planning program which would assist carers to look to the future as they age and help them with things like health choices and accommodation. We help them step through the legal work.’ The provision by Connect U of holidays means that carers are able to spend about four days in a place like Byron Bay’s Rainforest Retreat. ‘It’s amazing to see some of these carers who never get holidays,’ Christ-

abelle said. ‘Some of the stories are just heart-wrenching. ‘What makes this program unique is that we focus on the carers – it’s possibly the only program in the region that does that. A lot of organisations just wait for people to turn up but we actively go and seek them out.’ Anyone who is interested in joining a Connect U social club or simply in finding out more about this wonderful organisation can call Christabelle for a chat on 0427 250 407 or 6672 0900.

Pedestrian plan for Bangalow A ‘High Pedestrian Zone’ is being proposed for Bangalow and Council is seeking community input. A map and information on the proposed new zone is on exhibition until March 25 and is available at community access points around Byron Shire. Council’s infrastructure planning manager Michael King said High Pedestrian Zones are a road safety initiative of the RTA and aim to make local streets with high numbers of pedestrians safer. ‘With this in mind, Council has endorsed the installation 8 March 16, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

of suitable signs and pavement markings for the main street of Bangalow, subject to community consultation,’ Mr King said. The zone would create a permanent 40kph speed limit along Byron Street. Mr King said the plans on display show the proposed signs and pavement markings. The plans are subject to change following community consultation and approval through the Local Traffic Committee. Council is encouraging input. For further information contact Council on 6626 7026. www.echo.net.au

It could also be a cheaper means of resolving some planning disputes than is the Land & Environment Court, though of course there is still no guarantee residents would get the results they wanted.

serious, frank and supremely constructive. And he identified the biggest problem between his country and ours: not the governments, but the people, who remain mutually suspicious and still feel vaguely threatened by each other. I can relate to this; only a few years ago I regarded Indonesia as a sort of post-colonial Javanese empire, dominated by doctrinaire Moslems and tenuously held together by a corrupt and expansionist military, an international loose cannon which could only be treated as potentially hostile to Australian interests. But in an astonishingly short time it has all changed: Indonesia is now emerging as a fully-fledged secular democracy, increasingly prosperous and confident of its place in the world, an unambiguously good neighbour. There is still work to be done but SBY, building on the foundation laid by the brilliant, if eccentric, Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur), has helped to transform not just his country, but the entire region, for the better. The politicians on both sides accept and welcome this, but the public in general has not caught up: a recent survey showed 54 per cent of Australians still regard Indonesia as irresponsible in international relations, and we can assume the sentiment is returned in the archipelago. This outdated view must be corrected. Educational and cultural exchanges and even tourism will help, but the most important step is to restore the teaching of Asian languages, and particularly Indonesian, in Australian schools and institutions. The program was thriving until it was inexplicably terminated under John Howard. Kevin Rudd has promised to reinstate it; SBY’s visit should encourage him to start doing so at once.

Big development at Suffolk Park Echo, Tuesday March 2, page 5: Council approves the development of 52 units, all equipped with air conditioners and clothes dryers, no fresh sea breeze required but great noise pollution approved. Page 8 of the same edition: in the next four to five years the price of electricity will be 100 per cent dearer. Jan Barham is very enthusiastic about ‘affordable housing’, isn’t she? She also found that the developers were ‘great to deal with’: no wonder that the community was kept in the dark by the planning department and the easy-going developers. At the onsite meeting Jan’s contribution was to recommend to the developers the bicycle racks in use in another town. If she cannot preach her own gospel at home, it is really time for the Mayor to park her bicycle in another town.

Q

Our mate Jai We are Jai’s mates and we hate that he’s not here with us. It’s still hard to believe he’s gone, and as if it’s not hard enough that he is gone, there have been no consequences for his death? Last week was anti bullying week and we saw Angry Anderson talking about youth violence on TV, so when Jai’s dad said he was going to ask the schools do a minute’s silence at 11am to remind kids to say ‘no to youth violence’ and to remember our mate Jai who died six months ago and the boy who was stabbed and died in Queensland, we couldn’t believe it and are really angry that Mullumbimby High wouldn’t take part in it! Especially since the Queensland Education Department asked all the schools in the whole state to do it. Those of us that go to Shearwater were allowed to support it. Byron High didn’t, either. Those of us

Maybe planning director Ray Darney could also learn to be less patronising: as he said to me, ‘That is better than what they could have been done and we won’t have to lose $300,000 or $400,000 in court like with Woolworths.’ As everyone knows, developers put a complaint to the court at the same time as they apply for the DA. Why on earth are air-conditioned boxes pushed through when green buildings are cheaper to build and to run? Isabelle Delmotte

developer will simply appeal to the Land and Environment court and win, costing ratepayers tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. If Council staff recommends approval (which they did in this case), it makes it even harder to win an appeal. Each time this situation arises we are faced with the choice of trying to preserve our standards against almost certain losses in court with attendant costs. So to those who view any development that is supported in council as a sellout, how many such cases should Council reject and go to court over each year? How many millions of dollars are worth losing to feel good about ourselves? This development was not ideal, as I said during the council meeting. However, it needs to be remembered that originally the development was for

a supermarket, and the residents decried such a decision, and suggested residential development as being preferable. Thus, the green councillors in attendance at these meetings helped coax the developers to switch to a residential development instead. Now, of course, this too, is unacceptable to some. Perhaps some of the critics should be more honest and say that they have become used to the vacant lot next to their place and don’t want anything to go there, at least then their motives would be obvious. The way the state government has castrated local council’s ability to fight for the community’s wishes make being a councillor a tough challenge and sometimes getting the least bad option is the only option.

The lobby group, the MP, and that damn newspaper Q

I don’t know what’s going on at The Echo lately, but the accuracy of the reporting has certainly declined somewhat. No TOOT member ‘verbally interrupted’ Justine Elliot when she was launching the bikeway at Mullum on Thursday (Backlash, March 9). Only after the launch was over was Justine Elliot asked a perfectly reasonable question by a very senior citizen about why the $150m funding she promised in 2004 for our rail service has not been delivered. After a six year gruelling campaign, initially to try and stop the NSW government from axing our rail service, then to have rail services restored, and recently, preventing the NSW ALP getting its legislation passed which would have allowed it to sell off the rail corridor to some shonky

developer, TOOT members are very respectful of other hard working community groups. The bikeway people I spoke to were also supportive of our cause. That people with disabilities and senior citizens, who Ms Elliot supposedly represents, are forced to stand around in the hot sun to ask important questions about promises of funding not honoured for the rail services they need, speaks volumes about the kind of representation we get from our federal MP, who is also the Minister for Ageing. The only person to complain about the TOOT presence at the event was the Echo reporter who treated us like lepers and then got her facts very wrong. Ms Elliot and the ALP have been treating this community with contempt for many years

the councillors wouldn’t notice the second heading. The significance of such a failure to notice is that that item becomes part of a ‘bloc vote’! Not every item on the agenda gets individual attention; only those items which are ‘called’ by a councillor or ‘reserved for debate’ are individually discussed and voted upon. The rest are automatically counted as endorsing the staff recommendation, ie what the staff recommends becomes

the Council resolution. In the case of the debt recovery item no councillor reserved it for debate, so staff recommendation prevailed. All such bloc votes require a mover and a seconder, and it is usually Crs Tucker and Woods who fulfill this function. At the last meeting I asked Cr Woods her reason for supporting secrecy in this case. It quickly became clear that she hadn’t a clue and had been merely following Ross Tucker’s

would demand the same favourable treatment that some have obviously been getting. There’s two problems with this argument. Firstly Council is still obliged to publish the outcome of its secret debates, and the resulting resolution must still give details of whom, how much, and the proposed means of recovery. Secondly most unsuccessful litigants are represented by lawyers, and the local legal crew would be well aware of what kind of deals can

of current court cases are listed for discussion. As you proceed towards the end of the agenda (where all the tedious and boring stuff is normally put), there occurs again the heading ‘organisational support’ this time referring to the debt recovery issue. Why suddenly two separate listings on legal issues, when previously they’ve always been combined? The only explanation I can suggest is that the staff anticipated that

lead, as usual. Ross Tucker then insisted that he be allowed to answer my question, and his answer was that he did it because he supported the staff recommendation. Now why would it only become important to protect Council’s interests the moment I start asking questions? Because I have this terrible tendency to go public, that’s why. And if I went public over particular cases (as I did last week) then presumably other debtors

be negotiated and what is happening in other cases. Accordingly I can only conclude that staff have done this simply to prevent me from seeing what nonsense they put to the elected mushrooms. Fast Buck$

To retreat or not to retreat?

Andrew Hall

Bangalow Q I Q Councillor

Cameron bravely raises the issue of Planned Retreat again, and so I would like to comment. Planned Retreat as a name is a misdirection, there is no ‘plan’ involved. Just pick up your house and go. There are multiple problems with this policy that need to be addressed before it can be graced with the adjective ‘planned’. Are there the facilities available in the area to move houses? Where are the houses to go? And let us not forget that for the houses to be moved, it will mean our iconic beaches and accesses have gone. Secondly, the council has guardianship of our public infrastructure – roads, toilets community halls, etc. Just to ing, ‘hang on, I resemble that’ (except for the love of selfdenial bit). Then you wrote how meanings change. I regard words whose meanings flip, or are cynically flipped, as ‘infected memes’. There are many examples of this in our language that make clarity of expression more difficult. I have long regarded politicians who have engendered ‘cynicism’ in the polity (as opposed to ‘scepticism’, the sine qua non of scientific endeavour) as social criminals who should have their tongues shortened. I also have problems with public intellectuals who, besotted with their own intelligence, self-identify as ‘atheist’ vis-a-vis ‘agnostic’. Were they as intelligent as they believe they would be aware of the subtle difference between these positions and the enormity of the implications. Richard Dawkins and Phillip Adams come to mind. The Pocket Oxford describes ‘atheism’ as ‘a disbelief in the existence of God’, the corollary www.echo.net.au

must take issue with statements made by Jan Barham, from the SBS Insight program transcript of 7.3.10 regarding Belongil: ‘The biggest issue is probably losing our beach. You build protection works and you end up losing what is in front of that. That is a known factor that has happened all over the world.’ Except, it isn’t. Come to Belongil, and see The Beach That Isn’t There! Walk on its NonExistent Sand! The claim that protection works means no beach is just not right. Twenty years I myself have watched that beach fluctuate. Reality: beach is there! It is true that storms remove the soft white sand. A badly shaped hard surface will cause scouring and increase beach loss during storms, but

of which is a belief in the nonexistence of God. Atheists are often as evangelical as extreme fundamentalists. Hubris prevents them from admitting that they do not know, (agnostic) and that they should remain silent on a subject that is beyond their ken. Jim Nutter

the walls at Belongil have not prevented sand returning. Do not believe me, come and have a look! The Pass has been stripped back to bare rock before, without a rock wall in sight. Storms happen. Beaches recover. It can also be said some Belongil residents have hardly covered themselves in glory. What should be an open and shut case of protecting homes, an ancient dune, wetland, and endangered bird habitat from the consequences of sand mining has been used to call for the dismissal of the Council and appointment of an administrator! Let’s cut out the politics and get on with the policy. Solutions. I suggested pulling back the car park to the 1960s dune line, which is about average pre-sandmining, and giving it a ‘dune shaped’ sloped sea-facing surface, to eliminate scouring. Secondly, Belongil should have a consistent line of rock wall fronted by, once again, a duplicate dune shape, so sand will rebuild even quicker than it now does. I have rung around for quotes, and fixing this will cost less than legal action has and will. Another Belongil resident has a simpler, cheaper, maybe better idea: a slope of blue metal. It has a rough surface, it’s cheap and easy to use, and he’s seen it done elsewhere. Solutions. Cheap. Easy. Simple. If I may say so, this is why I should be your federal MP. Research, consultation, solution. No stress, and of course a willingness to acknowledge and act on an idea that might be better than mine.

R

abandon them, as the policy demands, is frivolous and wasteful. Let’s remember we elected the council to look after us, not to dismantle us. A concept like Planned Retreat becomes seductive. As seductive as other meaningless terms like ‘ecotourism’ and ‘sustainability’. We need better policy than ‘pick up your skirts and head for the hills’. A policy of adaption, not abandonment; one that will allow different responses to different areas and problems, something flexible. A policy that allows for public and private defence before we run for the hills. Submissions on the draft Coastline Management Plan are being examined now and it is my earnest and optimistic hope that something creative will come out of it.

FLET CHE

Thank you, Basil, for such a clear and accurate account of the latest drama at Belongil (Letters, March 9) and thank you, Michael, for the apology. It seems those intent on protecting their property at any cost (including ours) are ever ready to issue legal threats which, of course, serve to inhibit the flow of information and one must wonder why. A further example was seen on Insight on Tuesday night. I hope the truth protects you on this occasion, Basil. I also hope Council’s general manager picks up on Fast Buck$’s complaint about Council’s tardiness in collecting legal costs – or even an apparent reluctance to do so. I know how difficult this can be but given the ever-perilous state of Council finances, I think Council can and should do better; it’s time to make it a priority.

Déjà vu again: Woolies revisited Q I conducted a reportage in Mullumbimby, Saturday February 2, regarding the question of Woolies in that town and was asked by an elderly resident, whom I’d interviewed earlier, what the stats were and told him at that time about 50/50, as John McKay cites in his letter (Echo, March 2), but my report did not appear on This Day Tonight televised in Sydney, and was only released on March 7 when posted on www.youtube.com/byronvibe. I included everyone in this reportage that offered their views, but to fit the ten minute limit imposed by YouTube I had to leave a lot out. There were many valid comments, I’ve retained most of these. The stats were about 90/10 against Woolies coming to town, from those that agreed to air their views on camera, and 60/40 against including those who declined to speak on camera. All who declined to comment on camera cited cheaper prices as their reason. Most of them were indifferent about the consequences of the choice of location or the perceived im-

pact on local culture. To hear what was said, visit the above YouTube address. If the silent majority would like another opportunity I would be open to doing part 2. Please leave comments on YouTube or Facebook/byronvibe. Trevor Avedissian

Byron Bay Q Of all the letters to the editor

from those fighting the Woolworths supermarket, Norman Appel’s is the one you can sympathise with as this development will no doubt have an immediate impact on the quality of his life in Mullumbimby. What he fails to make clear in his letter, however, is that it was the vast majority of the Mullumbimby residents (over 1,700 signed the Mallam’s petition) that voted for this DA to have community land rezoned for a supermarket. They really didn’t care then about the community and those who could be affected by this development. All the concerns of traffic, noise, sewer, etc., were argued at the time to no avail. But of course now they want

to jump on the bandwagon as it’s Woolworths they want to fight. Using very emotive language like, ‘multinational’, ‘predatory pricing’, ‘capitalists’ and trying to appear as genuine, concerned community members, they display ignorance, naivety and hypocrisy. Having voted for this development in Mullumbimby, we have got much bigger issues at stake now like violence in our local schools and streets at night, coupled with alcohol and drug abuse amongst our youth. They need attention now! They need real community action and support. I wonder if these people can be as passionate about these important community issues as they have been about fighting Woolworths. Unfortunately for you, Norman, remember the majority in your community wanted a supermarket on this site. Blame them, not the people writing about wanting to shop for a better range of groceries and cheaper prices at a local Woolworths. Carlos A Gutierrez

Q Firstly it was never my intention to offend anyone, newcomer or local, with my letter to The Echo in support of the Woolworths development. Dave Kennerley in last week’s Echo was obviously one I offended, so please accept my apology, Dave, you’re most welcome, as is your opinion. He also asked me ‘What’s “local”, Janice?’ Well, Dave, I believe the international understanding of ‘local’ is where a person is born. However, personally, I am much more tolerant than that and have been known to conduct ‘localisation’ ceremonies for my ‘newcomer’ friends when they have lived here for 20 years. In my case I was born in Mullumbimby. I was educated at St John’s School, I worked after school and during school holidays in Phil and Harry Richards Variety Store and upon leaving school at Hungerford, Lehmann & Andrews, Solicitors, both in Burringbar Street, and until I was married, I lived with my parents and four brothers at 81 Prince Street (just across the railway line from the site in question). I am now nearing 60 and with the exception of the first two years of my marriage, I have lived in Myocum for eight years and where I currently live in Ewingsdale for 30 years. Mullumbimby has always welcomed new residents and has always prided itself on being a friendly place to live. The locals are always pleased to see their much loved town grow and prosper. If it didn’t, the town would start to lose valued services such as banks, school teachers, the local hos-

pital, policemen, etc. We welcome Woolworths (although we would have preferred Mallam’s) and see them as a sign our town is prospering. Incidentally, since my first letter appeared in the paper, I have been inundated with locals telling me I have echoed their thoughts exactly, but they hadn’t been confident enough to put pen to paper. Janice Lang

Ewingsdale Q Woolworths had Byron Shire Council (BSC) overruled in the Sydney court and now have approval for their Mullumbimby sewer on a bog. With my collegues, I witnessed and participated in that Land and Environment Court hearing. When the Commissioner and engineers visited the $3.8m horse paddock and debated its suitability for effluent disposal, luck was on Woolworths’ side as at the time Mullum was experiencing an extreme dry period. The court dismissed local waste water engineer Duncan’s Dey’s bore hole test made in more normal conditions where he observed a soil that was waterlogged with prevalent rust nodules demonstrating long periods of 100% saturation. Commissioner Hussey, an engineer himself, clearly stated he wanted to find a solution for Woolworths if it was indeed possible. He told the experts they needed to get their heads together to find that solution. BSC ratepayers paid for our legal team and experts to work with Woolworths to engineer a solution that satisfied the Commissioner. Woolworths’ court challenge, all the negotiations and our assistance to redesign the system has cost ratepayers a lot of money. Clearly BSC rightly refused the proposed sewage system. BSC now has the right to apply for legal costs incurred by Woolworths’ impatience and incompetence. Some would say to pursue costs against the corporate giant would be throwing good money after bad. Seems to me, Woolworths has had more than luck on their side, little stands in their way and few in authority have the courage or conviction. Still, Mullum is yet to lie down and Maleny fights on, as do other communities across the country. Woolworths has another ‘train wreck’ on their hands, not that the major controlling shareholders like the Hongkong Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) are likely to care. Gone are the days when Woolworths was the company owned by Aussie mums and dads.

Lamarck’s ‘family’ lives on in the Bay Story & photo Mary Gardner

About two hundred years ago, an impoverished Frenchman also stared at the feathery tentacles and the tough tubes of these marine worms. The French Revolution was throwing his world into chaos. His position as botanist at the Royal Gardens disappeared in the amalgamation which created the Museum of Natural History in Paris. Now he was the official professor of insects and worms, of which he knew nothing. The day came that he was to make some sense of this particular creature. It was another one of these ‘lower animals’ in his care. When I say ‘this is a species of Galeolaria’, I am using this Frenchman’s name for it. When I add that it is an Annelid, a segmented worm, an Invertebrate, an animal without a backbone – I am using all the words that the same man first used when he organised this classification. The man was Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. Perhaps his specimen came to him from the good ship Géographe captained by Nicolas Baudin, commissioned by Napoleon himself. The scientific voyage charted 600 new kilometres of Australian coastline, collecting flora and fauna. My specimen came from the lower side of the rocks on Main Beach in Byron Bay. The tentacles gently wave, helping the animal breathe as well as to catch small foodstuffs from the water. When disturbed by even a shadow passing over, the tentacles are pulled into its tube. A tough little cap, complete with spikes, is pulled down hard and seals the worm inside. Male and female, Galeolaria live on rocks at about the mid tide level. Sometimes the numbers are great and the worm tubes crowd together, forming thick crusts. Found always south of the tropics, it is nicknamed Sydney coral. The adults broadcast eggs and sperm year round, though

more so over the summer months. Most fertilisation occurs within the first two hours. Lamarck called the study of life ‘biology’. In this world, these worms and others of their group are classic subjects of interest. Since the late 1700s, the dissections, their drawings and their labeling, have been precision works of art, requiring care, good microscopes and delicate instruments. This group of Annelids is called Polychaetes because of their many fine bristles. The number and arrangement of these bristles is one of the distinguishing characteristics between the species. This particular ‘family’ of bristle worms in tubes, the Serpulids, is also prized because their entire life cycle can be observed in the lab. Removed from their tubes, the little worms are sorted by sex into two dishes. The sperm from the males is collected and added to the dish with females. Using microscopes, the process of fertilisation and the timing of hatching can be observed in detail. The growth of the larvae itself can be tracked through its curious development. Are there, I wonder, songs of the small sea worms creating? This is a moment for one.

Because of lab work, we know that the three forms of the larvae are all the one animal. Each form is so unlike, seeing these only in the sea – who would guess? Unlike the immobilised adults, each larval form lives freely in the sea. Each feeds on plants and animals of sizes specific to its own stage. The young are grow up in their own zones, eat their own type of food, and take their own chances. The larvae are remarkably sensitive. They are sometimes used as indicators of water quality because of their death rates in differing concentrations of effluent. They also have a fine sense of smell and will settle ‘back home’ in preference to other areas. They also have skill as swimmers, selecting their own places in the depths and currents of the sea. At their size, 350 micrometres (10mm-6mm) maximum, even the viscosity of the water is another challenge for them. Within their busily developing selves, there is a special set of genes, a recipe book for arranging various regions of the body. This combination of genes is known as a homeobox. One is called Hox and dates from 540 million years ago. It’s unique to multicellular life, more specifically to animal life.

www.echo.net.au

The genes are read one after another, at set times, directing the embryonic organism development from head to tail. Change the reading or timing and the final adult form is altered, mutated or maybe enhanced. Back in the lab again, variations of the homeobox genes and the proteins they make, appear again and again in Lamarck’s ‘worms and insects’. The Hox genes were common knowledge in the fruit fly genetic studies of the early twentieth century. But in 1983, Hox genes were found in a frog. This initiated a new branch of science: evolutionary development or ‘evo-devo’ for short. The ‘recipe’ for organising heads, trunks and tails is also used by fish, reptiles, birds and us. Lamarck’s name shows up in brackets after Galeolaria every time it is formally documented in a scientific paper. Most recently, in July 2009, a team from Adelaide assessed the genes of this worm across its entire range, from south Queensland to Western Australia. They make a case for splitting Galeolaria into two species: G. gemineoa now as well as G. caespitosa. Eventually, this may get approved and logged online in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRM). This site lists almost 230,000 species ‘known to science’. A team at the University of Tasmania sends an email promising to post me their CD guide to marine larvae. Soon they start sampling right up the east coast. Maybe we will meet when they reach here. But now for another snorkel. Into that living fertile sea, bordered by Galeolaria. Thanks to Lamarck, you know exactly what I mean.

E N E SC Stop-start driving and short trips (where engines do not properly warm-up), result in fuel being burnt less efficiently and a higher level of emissions. In Australia it is estimated that in a single year, air pollution from motor vehicles causes between 900 and 2,000 early deaths and between 900 and 4,500

cases of bronchitis, cardiovascular and respiratory disease, costing between $1.5 and $3.8 billion. Air pollution also harms the environment by restricting plant photosynthesis, damaging leaves and adversely affecting the yield of some crops. Motor vehicles also produce other pollutants like oil and petrol residues, which enter the stormwater system and are a major source of waterway and ocean pollution. Every time you cycle instead of driving, you significantly reduce emissions of pollutants and toxins into our environment. There is also evidence that as a cyclist, you breathe in less, not more pollution.

Greening the planet by cycling

– summarised from a fact sheet ‘Environmental benefits of cycling’ by the Cycling Promotion Fund (www. cyclingpromotion.com.au) and Bicycle Federation of Australia.

About half of the greenhouse gas emissions produced by an average Australian household each year are from transport. Cycling is one way a household can significantly reduce its contribution to the pollution that causes climate change. Cars produce an average of 0.3 kg of CO2 per km travelled. A cyclist emits negligible greenhouse or other pollution. So for each kilometre you ride your bike instead of driving, you are saving approximately 0.3 kg of CO2. This is equivalent to the energy from running a 60 watt incandescent light globe for close to five hours. Using bicycles to replace short car trips gives the greatest savings in emissions.

Green Room Consulting

Your local specialists in solar power and hot water.

Many of the government environmental incentives have been revised in recent times.

If you have noticed your electricity bills rising out of control recently, you are not alone! With the recent decision allowing electricity suppliers to increase costs by 62% over the next 3 years, electricity consumption should be on everyone’s minds.

Free home sustainability assessments are still available to both home owners and renters. Generous rebates are still available for solar power, water tanks, hot water and other items.

Thanks to Country Energy’s generous $0.60 per KW feed in tariff, solar power systems are now being viewed as more than just an environmentally sound way of reducing electricity costs. Annual revenues can be as high as $10,000, with systems from 1 to 10KW available.

Now is a great time to take advantage of this free service as all the initiatives have a limited duration.

To book with a local assessor, call 0434 954 938 to find out how much power, water and money you can save!

Customers with PVRP approval for the $8000 rebate who haven’t had systems installed, please contact us for free solar power funded by us. 6685 6340 or www.nextgenerationsolar.com.au

Customers using significant amounts of water, in particular those using more than 500 kilolitres per year are invited to participate. Rous Water is offering these businesses a free water audit to investigate the potential benefits of installing water-efficient fixtures and fittings as well as recycling opportunities. Harvesting and using rainwater in preference to town water for cleaning, watering gardens and similar activities is also a high priority. Since July this year, many businesses and schools have participated in the funding program. The overall water saving from these projects is estimated to be 14.5 megalitres (millions of litres) per year. This saving is equivalent to the annual water use of about 70 households, so the potential gains are significant.

To participate in the program and take advantage of the funding available, those interested should contact Rous Water on (02) 6621 8055 or email water@rouswater.nsw.gov.au

Under the program, projects are eligible to receive a rebate of up to 50% of the cost of the works carried out to save water, with a maximum set at $350 for every 100,000 litres reduction per year. This is calculated pro rata based on the reduction in water use achieved after one year. For example, for a project that reduces the demand on town water by 1 megalitre (1 million litres) per year, Rous Water would provide funding assistance of 50% of the capital cost of the scheme or $3,500, whichever amount is lower.

Nestled in World Heritage listed Lamington National Park, Gold Coast Hinterland, O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat, Mountain Villas and Lost World Spa provides the perfect escape to relax, revive and rejuvenate.

A chance visit to a Salvos store turned into a vintage teaspoon collecting obsession for two local women – an obsession that is about to take them to London. Newrybar-based Tory Bauer and her business partner Claire Snel began acquiring the teaspoons from op shops and nursing homes and, thanks to Claire’s background and training in fine arts, converting them into jewellery. This was a mere six months ago; in re-

Fittingly, it is the Elephant and Castle tube station where Elephant Family has a workshop, and this is where the women will mosaic their elephant. At

Chance struck again when, at a recent wedding, Tory ran into friends from the UK who told her about the Elephant Family project, a collaborative international art event aiming to raise awareness of the plight of the endangered Asian elephant. The Elephant Parade, as it is called, involves artists decorating more than 200 life-sized fibreglass baby elephants which will then be exhibited at key London locations such as Buckingham Palace, Tate Modern and Oxford Circus for three months over May, June and July. It is estimated that over 25 million people will see the elephants. Tory and Claire decided to

Elephant Family is a small but hugely ambitious charity which works to save the Asian elephant from abuse and extinction. Threatened by poaching for the ivory of its tusks, by destruction due to deforestation of its habitats and by human conflict, its population is a tenth the size it was 100 years ago. Tory and Claire would love donations of spoons or finances, and for the latter their bank details are: National Australia Bank Savings, Tory Bauer and Claire Snel, BSB 082-001, Account Number: 16 -820-0620.

This week sees The Big Joke hit Bangalow with high profile Aussie comics taking to the stage over four days (Thursday – Sunday). One of the featured comics is Tom Gleeson who’s been nominated for a prestigious Helpmann Award, won the Piece of Wood Comedian’s Choice Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and performed in London, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore and Jakarta. Gleeson has appeared extensively on television, including Good News Week, The 7PM Project, Thank God You’re Here, Rove, Skithouse, Comedy Slapdown and The Morning Show. Tom chatted with The Echo about his comic journey: Tom, why be a comic? What were your alternatives? I was doing a Science degree and I was in a band when I started comedy. So if I wasn’t a comic I would have been a Maths teacher or a rock star. Is it what you thought it would be? It’s more fun and I get paid more than I thought I would. Are you always on, how do you turn off? I’m never on. Even on stage I’m not on. Being relaxed on stage. That’s my forte. What pisses you off on a day to day basis? I don’t get annoyed daily. I don’t hold that much hate. I don’t like people who are constantly connected to their

How do you test your material? Add a little bit here. A bit there. Sometimes I’ll do a spot at a small club mid-week. What do you think is the art to being a good storyteller? Tell stories that people want to hear the ending to. How far can you go as a comic? I don’t know. Ask Eric Bana. How do you know when you’ve gone too far? The audience won’t laugh at you anymore. Even when you pull out your gold. What’s your worst ever gig? I once did a gig in the middle of a shopping centre. You can’t perform standup to an audience that is moving. That’s what street performers and carnies are for. Best ever gig? I did a gig at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney with Jerry Lewis last year. At one point during my set, I looked across and could see him laughing, stamping his feet and losing his shit in the wings to my bit. What makes an unforgettable show?

I am so tired of getting fit. Every few years I join another gym and make those boring promises to myself. This time it’s forever. It’s lifestyle. It’s part of my regular routine. But it’s horseshit. Only rich people with no children are fit. Having a spare hour or two three times a week is the stuff fantasies are made of. I’m too busy to be fit. I only have just enough time as it is to get fat. I live in a house with six other humans, one dog, one cat and one morbidly obese mouse. That mouse may be a pudge bucket, but she’s motivated. Buttercup mocks me with her vigilant daily workouts on the wheel. I’ve been a paying gym member for a month now and I’ve only used my treadmill

Mr Percival salutes turning 60 The Rivers of Babylon Ku Promotions is thrilled to announce the arrival of Babylon Circus in Byron Bay. The last time Australia saw this nine-piece band, they sold out every show and audiences were left screaming for more. It’s not surprising, because not only do they make awesomely addictive heart thumping foot stomping music, they’re a bunch of spunks. Now they are back to launch their new album, La Belle Etoile and pass their infectious energy to the audiences. Their music is laced with ska, gypsy, rock, vaudevillian antics, dancehall, reggae and LSD. As befits a band with their name, their exploits include police chases, beatings and imprisonment in Irish jails, bathtub vodka, double concussions and

Mr Percival is a very special act. A one-man 20-man choir, a one-man 10-piece band, Darren has the heart and spirit of an entire chorus line and an ability to connect with people so that they walk away profoundly affected. Darren Percival is a vocal artist and innovator – painting with his voice, using a looping pedal to create rich soundscapes and sublime grooves with 20 years spent performing live and exploring the power and scope of the human voice. After sellout shows at Woodford Folk Festival 2009 and a constantly growing fan base, Mr. Percival brings his brand new show ‘Microphones’ to Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Saturday. To coincide with his mother’s 60th birthday celebrations, Darren has invited his younger brother Glen

twice. It shits me that a mouse has more willpower than I, so every night I take her wheel down. She’s gaining weight fast. By comparison, her ass is now much much bigger than mine. The other day she couldn’t squeeze her round mousey butt through the exit hole on the wheel and she had to sleep in there until she dropped a dress size. Not so smug now, fat mouse. Alright, so I shouldn’t be teasing rodents because I’m overweight, middleaged and unfit. If I was committed I’d put a mousewheel in the bedroom and every night after eating a few squares of dark chocolate, I’d do a few rotations. That first day back at the gym Percival to do the support set for this show featuring original songs from his own beautiful catalogue. As usual there will be a few surprises and that massive dose of Mr. Percival LOVE. Show at 8pm. Tix at the door are $22 and cheaper if pre-purchased.

Not from exercise, but because the stupid television is always on and I can’t stop watching V Hits with some chicks writhing in rubber in a carwash, as you do when you’re 23 and hot.

Lulo in Lismore The Lismore Jazz Club is excited and proud to bring Lulo Reinhardt to Lisvegas – Saturday at 8pm at City Hall. Lulo is the grand-nephew of the great Django Reinhardt and now has an acclaimed international reputation in his own right. He was taught by his father at the age of five and by twelve he was playing with the Mike Reinhardt Sextet. Lulo Reinhardt’s music reveals his enthusiasm for virtuosity and spontaneity and at the same time, a deep melancholy and nostalgia – more imagination than reality. Tickets are on sale through NORPA and are $42 cabaret style seating (bring your own nibbles) or $32 for tiered seating. Lismore Jazz Club members will receive a 10% reduction in ticket costs.

What is the essence of a good song for you? It happens on many levels. But I think the most immediate is emotional. Before the lyric it is the tone and the sound of the

piece. That can be production and arrangement, but more often than not it is a visceral timbre, a tonality that happens between the voice and the instrument, or maybe just the voice itself. An attitude that will catch my ear. It will catch my attention and then, if I listen to the lyric and it is intriguing and in some cases, nearly flawless, that is a great song. If there are elements of both of these things, with a few occasional flaws, I will still, as a whole enjoy the song if the heart is there.

What was it like for you as the girl who first took the stage… did you envisage this becoming your life journey? No. I was a pre-teen songwriter who eventually began to perform in college and gained strength through the fellowship of other musicians and friends. I studied jazz guitar and theory in order to ensure some kind of work in the area of music, with no real expectation or assurance of being able to perform or work for others as a job.

Dave Stringer has been profiled in publications as diverse as Time, Billboard, In Style, and Yoga Journal Germany as a leader of the new American kirtan movement. Dave’s sound marries the transcendent mysticism of traditional Indian instruments with the exuberant, grooveoriented sound of American gospel. A spontaneous and articulate speaker, he probes the dilemmas of the spirit with a sly and unorthodox sense of humor. His work translates the ancient traditions of kirtan and yoga into inspiring action theatre, open to a multiplicity of interpretations, and accessible to all. Initially trained as a visual artist and jazz musician, Dave started chanting in the early 1990’s when a film-editing project brought him to Swami Muktananda’s ashram in India. When the editing project ended, he remained in India to teach school in a rural village, and continued studying yoga traditions with Swami Chidvilasananda. After returning to the US,

Dave taught meditation and chanting to prison inmates, and began leading kirtans at yoga studios. Tickets: $25 from the venue only. Show at the Byron Community Centre on Thursday at 7.30pm.

Patty Larkin has been redefining the boundaries of folk-urban pop music for 25 years with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising vocals and lyrics. She is a featured artist at Bluesfest. Patty, with 25 years under your belt as a performer and maker of music, how does that inform what happens when you hit the stage now? I think there are parameters that never change, certain constants that include variations on a theme. That said, each performance is new, very real, and always a mountain to climb. In your career how have you seen the music industry change? It is an entire seachange. At the start of my career there was a path that you took, and there were guides who informed you along the way. Now we are in such a state of flux that I find it exciting. I have always worked as an outsider, who is sometimes in, sometimes

not. What we have now is a situation where nobody really knows how to operate, much less make money from the art of recording. Ninety five per cent of music downloads are free. While this notion is disconcerting, it is also liberating as we find ourselves at a juncture.

from a bygone era. Her sense of playfulness, sensuality and wistfulness takes the audience on a journey into the vulnerable places that we all share as human beings. Of course, the show is known for its knockout circus performances. This month we have Belinda Hultgren on the mysterious Spanish web. And Claire Gardner will thrill with an original performance on the static trapeze. There is a great licensed bar and a cafe serving meals and nibbles open from 6.30pm. Tix are $15.

How do you know when a song needs to hit the bin? I believe that a song is only as good as it’s weakest line. That said, the song hits the bin when it doesn’t ring true. I used to need an audience to determine that, but now I know early on. The lyric you dislike now will only grow worse over time. How important is the role of storytelling in your songs? I think each song is a story. A web. A thought that you share with the listener. I always want and enlightening examination of AI, the exponential growth of information, Big Bang theorgy and the singularity at the centre of the Milky Way.

to get as close to what I see, feel, hear when I am writing in the song as possible. If that is accomplished, it is a keeper. Are there times when you compromise a lyric for the sake of revealing too much? Perhaps. Yes. But I think that the goal is to take the personal and make it universal, even if it is not a conscious decision. On the other hand, as you go into your personal experience, more deeply, it may by definition become more universal. Do you think songwriters love more deeply‌ to inform their songwriting? No. We are not perfect and we are in love with love for the most part. This could be a very lengthy answer. I think early on, drama is deemed art. That gets old rather quickly. Life is art. Has the guitar become your voice and vice versa? Yes. It happened almost immediately for me, although I never thought of it as such.

T

ickets are selling fast for the Big Joke Comedy Festival starting this week on Thursday in Bangalow at the A&I Hall and running through until Sunday. Each day there’s a main show featuring a number of performers and these main shows are supported by free shows and family entertainment throughout the day. This year, street performers will be entertaining crowds in Bangalow and there are four free heats of the Village Idiot Stand Up Competition to be held in the Festival Bar at the A&I Hall. The Village Idiot competition offers emerging comics the opportunity to strut their stuff and win cash and prizes worth over $1000. The Grand Final, held on Sunday, will be MC’d by Tom Gleeson, one of the funniest men in Australia. The Big Joke has a commitment to providing innovative performance. Funny Kids is a comedy workshop for children

culminating in a live performance at the A&I Hall. Thursday night features Australia’s favourite hostess, Vanessa Wagner. Known for her dress sense as well as her witty repartee, Vanessa will warm up the crowd in the way she does best then make way for The Axis of Awesome and the evening’s headline, Chris Radburn. Friday’s show is MC’d by S Sorrensen and features Jackie Loeb and Jeff Green, a bloke described as the funniest stand up in Britain. Saturday’s headline is the mild mannered and urbane Peter Berner who has been called The Funniest Man in Australia. (With the funniest man in NZ it could be a commonwealth of comedy!) Sunday features Cracked Eggs with Tom Gleeson, Chris Radburn, Jackie Loeb and a whole heap more.

realism of Black Hawk Down and the under-rated and largely unseen Jarhead, this is the lowest grossing feature to take out the best-film Oscar in over half a century. Its subject matter, lack of star actors and a cryptic, unappealing title would not have helped its cause at the box office, meaning that the bean counters who decide what we may see in this neck of the woods have been tardy in sending it to us – apparently we can’t get enough sludgy rom-coms. More’s the pity, for it’s an outstanding achievement (be wary whenever you hear any flick described as ‘important’), even if it should never have beaten Avatar for that gleaming statuette. ~ John Campbell Green Zone In war, truth is the first casualty. The Greek dramatist Aeschylus said it over two thousand years ago, yet still the legions rush blindly to battle ‌ Contrasting with Kathryn Bigelow’s, Englishman Paul Greengrass’s Iraq War movie is another kettle of fish altogether, concerned as it is with the gross calumny of the White House’s insistence that Saddam Hussein had compiled an arsenal of Weapons of Mass Destruction. It opens with the fall of Baghdad (shot in Spain and Morocco, the locations are totally convincing) which is soon followed by George W Bush’s hoonish ‘mission accomplished’ proclamation. But no WMD are unearthed. Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon) is suspicious about the Army intelligence that is sending his squad on dangerous missions that uncover nothing. Like all soldiers at the frontline, he is merely a pawn in a bigger game being played by the masters of war, represented here by Poundstone from the Pentagon (Greg Kinnear). Confided in by a cynical CIA old-timer (Brendan Gleeson) and aided by a civilian who wants only for the fate of his

is paid to the volatile crosscurrents of conflicting Arab interests that contribute to the intrigue. My only complaint would be that the jiggling and blurring and general restlessness of the hand-held camera is often distracting and counter-productive to its goal of creating immediacy (cinematographer Barry Ackroyd also did The Hurt Locker – somebody please shout him a tripod). This is a high-minded attempt to unravel and expose the blather of our leaders (how do we decide what propaganda to believe?) that is, nevertheless, not above gratifying the viewer with the cheap thrill and enormous satisfaction of seeing an utter bastard meet his Waterloo and a good guy escape harm. ~ John Campbell

country to be determined by Iraqis and not foreigners, Miller takes his men into insecure sectors of the city in pursuit of a prominent member of Saddam’s Baathist regime, General Al Rawi (Igal Naor), the Jack of Clubs in that childish deck of wanted men. Re-united with Matt Damon, an actor who can be relied upon to let a character emerge at its own pace, Greengrass (whose United 93 has been by far the best 9/11 movie yet) shows himself again to be uncommonly adept at handling full-frontal action sequences without allowing them to take precedence over the story he is telling. As the pin-striped political fixer, Kinnear is finely cast in a role that exploits his steely unctuousness, while Naor’s Al Rawi, one of the mighty who are fallen, oozes fearful dignity as due regard www.dendy.com.au

FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED

The Hurt Locker The Academy brought the 2010 Oscars back home again by celebrating three of the enduring archetypes of American cinema; the lone wolf of Crazy Heart who is redeemed by the love of a good woman, the entrepreneur whose vision and generosity enriches another’s life in The Blind Side, and, in Kathryn Bigelow’s prizewinner, the maverick with scant regard for the formalities of the rule book. The maverick in question is Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner), a bomb disposal expert with a cavalier and, to his buddies Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Eldridge (Brian Geraghty), a reckless approach to their assignments. Bigelow makes no bones about the fatal level of mistrust that exists between the Iraqi populace and their conquerors but is otherwise uninterested in ideological statements (asides such as a US soldier’s ‘if he wasn’t an insurgent before, he is now’ is as close as she comes to commenting on the consequences of the occupation). Instead, she strips her piece of all political context in order to concentrate on the psychology of the men at the thin end of the wedge. By so doing, she departs from the standard ‘war is hell but aren’t these guys heroes’ line to tease out the idea that for some it provides a rush that is craved beyond placating by the safety of Civvy Street – demobbed and shopping with his wife, James is gutted when confronted by the sterility of an endless supermarket aisle of breakfast cereals (haven’t we all experienced that K-Mart numbness of the soul?). The chaos and terrifying randomness of modern warfare is established without recourse to gratuitous violence, but where the movie falters is in an episodic structure which does not allow for a binding narrative to make a cohesive whole of its parts, loaded with vice-like tension though they are. Reminiscent in its gritty

ARIES: Happy birthday impetuous ones! This week’s stimulus package of planets in Aries has you at your most gorgeous – but with friendships undergoing some unusual stresses, pressures and demands, it’s best not to push it. This week calls for smart choices across the board.

CANCER: Midweek Cancer moon sees you extra reactive just when others are most likely to be experiencing tact malfunctions. Sidestep hurt feelings by understanding people are channeling their inner child – play that nurturing universal parent you do so well and they’ll be playdough in your hands.

LIBRA: This smouldering, smoky week gives your Libran people skills a workout brokering agreements, negotiating fair play and mediating mood swings. As a reward for all this good behaviour there’ll be plenty of the wining, dining and flirty personal interactions you Venusians love.

TAURUS: The coming week’s fiery vibes make friends and finances a troublesome mix as others morph from fine to furious at the slightest opposition. Unreasonable? Absolutely. So don’t even try to reason with them – just keep in mind that love’s more precious than money.

LEO: If people wanting their own way rattle your cage this week, get over it – the best way of getting even is forgetting. Flamboyant end of week Leo moon adds a habanero chili to passion levels, but you like your romance hot, so why not?

SCORPIO: While this week comes with an energy upgrade, Scorpios who do too much (are there any other sort?) will find overextending unlikely to have a happy ending. Obsessing is also contraindicated. The news you really want to hear is yes, finances are on the upswing.

AQUARIUS: Other signs might rush round in overdrive, but you contrary Aquarians will be kicking back, resting and nesting while some interesting new inspirations incubate. This original, independent, pioneering week’s just your cup of fuel, breathing life into your artistic side then just loving your work.

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s planetary quartet in fellow fire signs brings out your wild side, but don’t morph into one of those battery toys that keep going till they run out of juice and fall down. Pace your firepower judiciously and this could be a highly satisfying week.

PISCES: The rather martial bias of this week’s energy does have an upside – a liberating shakeup that could help you view an old problem with new eyes. It favours plans and strategies where you take the lead, so let boldness be your new best friend.

GEMINI: Shared resources and financial partnerships are the major ongoing theme in your life right now, with teamwork and equity giving you some interesting challenges. Forget the long winded raves of recent weeks: this one wants things short, sweet and to the point.

The first stirring of player power was seen this week at the European Championships when 110 competitors signed a petition calling for a change in the despised ‘Zero Forfeit’ rule. Last year, world chess federation (FIDE) President Kirsan Iljumzhinov overturned a century of tradition by introducing a rule which said that any player not seated at the board when the gong sounded for the start of the game would be forfeited immediately. (Previously the forfeit time had been one hour, but a player lost thinking time for every minute he or she was late.) Despite 100 per cent opposition from players and administrators, Iljumzhinov pushed the rule through, and players started being disqualified for trivial offences such as getting up at the wrong time to replace a faulty pen, or even for standing behind their chair when the round started. The 2009 Chinese Championship and the 2009 World Cup both saw top placings being decided by the new forfeit rule. Finally, it seems, the grand-

The weekend’s autumn equinox heralded the traditional time of completing tasks and tying off dangling threads in readiness for the change of season and a new growth cycle…

VIRGO: If this week’s pushy people even notice a boundary they’ll consider it just another challenge to cross, so you’ll need to draw convincing lines. Luckily the upside of these space invaders brings a cascade of adventurous, progressive ideas that rock your world into a new groove.

Change could be considered the one constant in the hospitality/restaurant industry – and change is what seems to be particularly manifest at the moment throughout the region. Opposite Main Beach next to Local Cafe, the wooden deck has for the last few months been shared by newcomer Soul Bowl, which specialises in salads, ‘spuds’ and soups, the first two which you are invited to customise yourself. Better still, their environmentallyconscious approach has led the owners to make recycling bins available to their customers. Quiet little achiever Barcelo near the Courthouse (fabulous salads, Spanish snacks and excellent coffee) is about to inherit ex-Fresca co-chef Kath Hobbs to man the stoves, and The Balcony is up for sale, though possibly not for a song. Seven Mile Cafe at Lennox Head has just changed hands and at the Eltham Hotel, the once run-down country pub has been spruced up with live music introduced and its restaurant overhauled. For about the last nine months Fishheads in Bangalow have been offering free tapas with orders of wine, beer and cocktails between 5 and 6 pm on Thursday nights, and it has been such a raging success

BYRON BAY (Continued from previous page)

At the first seriously dry farmers market in weeks and weeks I jump puddles to arrive at the stalls I want. Everyone looks so cheerful, especially the produce spilling off trestle tables, piled in abundance. I have been lured by the curly dark green bunches of the prettiest leaves at Kenrick’s stall, among his other treasures. ‘It’s Brazilian spinach,’ he tells me. ‘It loves summer and makes good ground cover.’ Brazilian spinach? It looks like the sort of glamorous exotic vegetable that would have a name like that. It turns out that some years back a customer had brought Kenrick this unfamiliar produce – but it was only recently that another one had identified it for him. Alternanthera sissoo is its correct title although other cute names for it are Sambu Lettuce and Sissoo Spinach. Brazilians really do eat it too, raw in salads with oil and vinegar, onions and tomatoes. It is a hardy perennial ideal for garden borders – borders you can eat. Subtropical climates like ours is where it flourishes; it turns a brilliant green when cooked, and is beautifully interchangeable with ordinary old spinach or silverbeet. I thought that it would be a singular component in the Green Tart I generally make with stolid, worthy English spinach, whereupon into an uncooked shortcrust pastry shell (you can use store-bought if you choose) I tumble a mixture of olive oilsoftened green onions, garlic, sliced zucchini, parsley, spinach and a little dried oregano that has all wilted, cooled down then whisked through a cup of ricotta, four eggs, capers and pitted green olives. Seasoned, naturally, and topped with a scattering of pinenuts then baked till firm, golden, but somehow still entrancingly green. But the Brazilian spinach isn’t the only vegetable which has caught my eye at Kenrick’s stall. Glossy dark green leaves in the shape of a heart: these, I am told, are betel leaves. Not to be confused with the betel nut, whose name has arisen purely through

association, the fact that in Indian, Sri Lankan and Burmese homes a little package is put together of betel leaf encasing fragrant spices, lime paste and areca nut and chewed as a sort of social lubricant and stimulant. The leaf is renowned for its healing and curative properties – in fact there seem to be few health problems it cannot address. It is high in anti-oxidants and considered an aphrodisiac. From a culinary point of view, which is after all my chief concern, the betel leaf is very popular in Vietnamese cuisine where it may serve as a sort of wrap for a spiced mincemeat filling or be shredded and incorporated into dishes. It actually has very little flavour in its raw form but once cooked, especially grilled, it imparts a herbacious and slightly peppery fragrance to whatever food it enrobes – most commonly spicy beef. A traditional dish called Bo La Lot involves blending minced beef with seasonings – garlic, shallots, lemongrass, fish sauce and curry powder – then placing a tablespoon of this on to washed betel leaves, glossy side down, whose stems you have detached, and rolling them up into fat little cigars. You can then either grill them or sauté them quickly in a hot pan and serve them as an exciting appetiser with drinks. My head is bustling with cooking ideas and I need to jot thoughts down before they evaporate into the sunshine. Rainbow chard persuades me to make one final stop. Pink, white and gold stems attached to green leaves, this multicoloured relative of both beetroot and silverbeet is not only beautiful but also bursting with chlorophyll, vitamin K, fibre, riboflavin and B6. Those stems must be eaten too, not only the leaves. My Green Tart seems to be turning into a Rainbow Tart, fitting for the region.

Danger: cheese on a roll Shred Potomac

The English are noted for their eccentric sports – like cricket, for instance – but none come stranger than cheese rolling. In the case of the annual Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake (www.cheeserolling.co.uk), it involves a precipitous 180m course down a very steep hill and the chance of some serious injuries. Not exactly what most people hope to encounter when they settle back with a nice glass of red and a slice of Stilton. In this case the cheese in question is the Double Gloucester, unpasteurised, semi-hard and made in Gloucestershire since the 16th century. The Double uses whole milk, the Single skim milk. The Double Gloucester comes in the bigger round, hence its use for rolling. During World War II food rationing was introduced, so from 1941 to 1954 a wooden ‘cheese’ was used. As you would expect, the cheese is rolled from the top of Cooper’s Hill, and competitors race down after it. The first person to reach the finish line at the bottom of the hill is the winner, and takes the cheese – which hardly seems adequate recompense for risking life and limb. The actual aim is to catch the cheese but it does have a one second head start and is travelling at around 100kph. The local St John Ambulance team attends to competitors’

injuries, which can include sprains, gashes, broken bones and concussion. Despite the popularity of the event, which attracts competitors from across the world, the locals discourage visitors. It is held in a steep location with inadequate parking, and the Cooper’s Hill folk are disinclined to develop the site. It can, however, be watched safely on YouTube, where you can also witness uphill sprint races on the same hill. The online Gloucestershire magazine www.soglos.com also provides cheese-rolling news and fascinating insights into a wider range of local

activities. Cheese rolling apparently dates back 200 years, and there are unproven suggestions that it may have been a pagan healing ritual. More than likely, a bunch of local lads got pissed at the pub and decided that racing after a cheese down a very steep hill was somehow a good idea. What do the winners do with their cheese? Do they put it on their mantelpiece, have it bronzed? It seems unlikely they would be mad enough to eat it, but then again they did race down a very steep hill in pursuit of it...

Abbey swims her way to Homebush Ocean Shores students to swim at State

Abbey Lang with the abundance of ribbons she won at the Mullumbimby High School Swimming Carnival. Photo Tree Faerie.

The Ocean Shores Public School swim team are busily fundrasing to make the trip to the State Championships at Homebush in Sydney. Photo Tree Faerie.

At just 12 years old, Abbey Lang has had a busy year since she started High School. Abbey competed in nine events in the Mullumbimby High School Swimming Carnival and found herself the recipient of nine blue ribbons. She was also named age champ for the 12 year old girls. At the zone event which

was held on the home turf pool at Mullumbimby, Abbey competed in the same events and won first place in the 50 and 100 metre freestyle, the breaststroke and butterfly and second in the backstroke, also being named the Age Champ at the event. Abbey travelled to Banora to compete in the regional

championships held just over a week ago and placed first in the breaststroke and much to her own surprise, third in the butterfly. This effort will put her firmly on the blocks where Olympians have stood at the State Championships to be held between March 28 and 30 at the Sydney Aquatic Centre, Homesbush.

Twelve swimmers from Ocean Shores Public School have made their way into the PSSA State Swimming Carnival at Homebush between March 31 and April 1. The senior boys, girls and junior boys relay teams will compete, as well as some students in individual events. Students will fly to Sydney the day

before the event and stay for the duration of the carnival. As the trip is costly, the Ocean Shores Public School P and C assists with funding for each student, as well as Far North Coast Swimming who provide raffle tickets for the children to sell. This is a great experience for these students who have had

great success throughout the lead up to this event. Ocean Shores was the champion school at district level and has had age champions at district, zone, and regional levels. For anyone wanting information about how they help with financial assistance for the swim team – please ring the school office on 6680 2766.

Marty puts his stamp on Whistler

Mart Mayberry during Sunday’s training session at Whistler in Vancouver, says that the results at the final training run has given him confidence going into his racing events. Photo courtesy of the Australian Paralympic Committee.

Most of the Australian Winter Paralympic ski team are waiting in Vancouver for weather conditions to improve enough for the athletes to compete, but during a sliver of good conditions, local lad Marty Mayberry again showed why he will be the one to catch in the men’s standing downhill race at the Games, after posting the fastest time in Sunday’s final training session at Whistler Creekside. Following the session and

the completion of the men’s and women’s sitting and vision-impaired downhill events, the 36 competitors in the men’s standing class were set to contest their Paralympic Downhill, only for the Whistler weather to step in and postpone the day’s program for the fourth time in the opening week. In fact, since the alpine skiing training began on the scheduled opening day last Wednesday, not one full session on any

day since has been completed due to conditions consisting of heavy snow and thick fog. But while the frustration among everyone in Whistler continues to build, Mayberry said he felt comfortable with his preparations, despite not knowing exactly when he would compete again. The double leg-amputee from Ewingsdale, clocked a time of 1:23.68 ahead of Switzerland’s Michael Brugger

Byron Nipper’s prezo

(1.23.88) and Markus Salcher (1:23.98) of Austria. It continues a golden run of form for Marty, who won two medals at the recent World Cup Finals in Aspen, Colorado. ‘It definitely gives me confidence going to the race, whatever happens. I know I can ski better than I did today – and when I finally get the opportunity, I will be confident because I have been skiing really well in the Downhill lately. ‘I feel good. I’m not feeling any pressure, I’m in a good space.’ Mayberry’s team-mates Cameron Rahbula-Rahbula who placed 12th (1:26.18) and Mitchell Gourley in 16th (1:26.97), also skied with promise while Toby Kane did not finish after coming unstuck in a tricky section of the course. He was unhurt. ‘It’s definitely very frustrating. You can’t control the weather but it would have great to have got the race out of the way. You can’t do much about it,’ said Mayberry. ‘As a team, we’ll analyse what we did and try and pick things up that we can do better. There were also things I did well today and I will try and keep that going. Ski racing is the kind of sport where you have to be flexible. You’re used to things changing, so we’ll just go home, work out what the plan is and then go from there.’

All Girls all waxed up with nowhere to surf Fifty girls between ten and 60 plus years were ready to surf in one metre waves for the first All Girls Surfriders club round for 2010 at Lennox Head in February, but the monthly club contest was cancelled due to Tsunami warnings across the beaches on the East Coast. The next round will be at Broken Head March 28. For further info on the Club please Contact club president Maz Pentecost 0411 889 543. Photo Melissa Wright.

We are born not knowing how to love. We have to learn it. This workshop helps us to identify and understand what prevents us from loving fully and opening to another. By going deeply inside and ďŹ nding our essence and through carefully designed structures and exercises we can shift to mature and satisfying intimacy.

One treatment can be life changing. The Atlas supports your head and governs structural alignment. A misaligned Atlas causes restriction of the brain stem, spinal cord, cranial nerves and arteries. This limits our potential for wellbeing and creates tension, restricting the free flow of energy. When the Atlas is installed correctly, the body begins an unwinding process, releasing holding patterns and enabling the body to heal and regenerate.

To take a giant step towards your health and wellbeing, contact Sidika Ashauer, Brunswick Heads clinic. 0427 805 405 www.pain-free-me.com

This circumstance leads to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses. Atlasprofilax is a neuromuscular technique that liberates the Atlas with only one application Accurately, Safely and Permanently. This powerful relocation immediately activates a self-healing and harmonising process. It is holistic in nature, promoting wellness and rejuvenation on all levels, mind, body and spirit. This method is non-medical, non-chiropratic.

Byron Bay. It depicts the ground plan of vacant land spaces for sale by auction, just east of Cape Byron. ‘My great grandfather Ray Gordon was the agent for the sale of the lots at Watego’s,’ says David. ‘That was in 1961, before I was even born. My dad decided not to buy a lot at the time because he was concerned about the dirt road, but my uncle bought a lot – for £350.’ With David part of the fourth generation, the Gordon family is the longest serving in real estate in Byron Bay. In 1978 David’s father opened Byron Bay Real Estate and in 1982 they became part of Elders. Originally from Lismore, David started coming to Byron 40 years ago with his dad and he has lived in the Bay for the last 25 years. He has seen a great deal of change in the area and in the market in that time. ‘Twenty-five years ago it was locals buying property and there was a lot more land available. People were buying and building homes. People from out of the area didn’t

start buying until much later on and then it was for holidays and development as empty space became scarce.’ David says that market did take a tumble in the 2008 financial crisis where demand dropped by about half. Local sales went from 525 per annum to about 320 and in the 0809 fiscal year only 300 properties sold. ‘Things were difficult for the market globally and locally but there has been a great deal of improvement since then. Turnover is starting to increase again and there is beginning to be a lot of interest again – especially in properties under $600,000.’ David feels the future for the market is bright and that turnover is slowly getting back to a reasonable level. He says the right property will always sell. ‘These days there are still challenges to getting a deal together. a bright future with a recent change Properties that sell the best are the to his business, becoming a memright price with something unique ber of the Ray White family. on offer.’ ‘Many people have asked me why David is also looking forward to after 26 years we made the change.

We believe that Ray White is the largest, most recognisable residential real estate agent in Australasia and we want to align ourselves with the biggest and the best.’

Supply, not house size, the real problem says HIA

Open Houses, Auctions & New Listings page 59

Removing the obstacles to boosting Australia’s housing supply is vital, but the size of the homes Australians are building is not a constraint, says the Housing Industry Association (HIA). HIA chief executive Graham Wolfe says that HIA has long warned of the urgency that is required in tackling land supply constraints, planning delays, an equitable infrastructure funding mod-

el, and a structural shortage of skilled labour, to name but a few obstacles standing in the way of a sustainable boost to Australia’s housing supply. ‘Getting the mix of housing right is of course crucial, but market forces determine the size of dwellings and it is not a constraint to boosting our housing stock. The average size of detached houses built in Australia stopped in-

creasing some time ago and indeed has trended down slightly in recent years, and roughly 30 per cent of what we build is smaller, non-detached housing. ‘The one issue we face with home size is planning requirements in some jurisdictions that force builders to construct larger size units than the public actually wants. That issue is symptomatic of

the major problem at hand, unnecessary supply side obstacles preventing efficient new home construction. ‘We welcome the heightened focus these supply side obstacles are receiving in the public discourse. One of the fundamental challenges this nation faces is ensuring affordable shelter can be constructed for our rapidly growing population,’ said Mr Wolfe.

The NSW government is preparing legislation so that it can compulsorily acquire private land for private companies to construct and sell housing for profit. According to SMH reporter Matthew Moore, ‘While the proposal is likely to be contentious, developer groups say it is the only practical way to meet the housing construction targets contained in the principal planning document for Sydney, the Metropolitan Strategy.’ And a good way for a government to reward its mates.

‘I thought readers of The Echo might be interested in this story from Sheringham, Norfolk, UK – a town not unlike Mullum,’ writes a reader. ‘Here the supermarket giant, Tesco, lost. Common sense and imagination appear to have won. The council approved an alternative proposal to build a supermarket which stocks local produce and offers allotments (plots) where locals can grow their own produce if they choose.’ (See more at www.independent. co.uk/news/uk/home-news/ tesco-thwarted-over-norfolksupermarket-1916272.html.) ‘Interesting question – if such a development were put forward here, would it meet with support from the anti-Woolies folk?’ Q Q Q Q

more than 3,000 volunteers, the Center for Biological Diversity is distributing 100,000 free Endangered Species Condoms in all 50 states of the USA ‘to highlight how unsustainable human population growth is driving

species extinct at a cataclysmic rate’. See more at www.endangeredspeciescondoms.com. The fact that more people are openly identifying themselves as androgynes may also help lessen the pressure to breed.

Like to get a free massage? On Sunday March 21 Byron Medicine Wheel at 84 Jonson Street in Byron Bay is staging an open day, offering free handson sessions in areas such as naturopathy, alternative therapies, massage, astrology and psychic reading. There will be music, door prizes for free sessions and gifts from the shop. A party follows the open day after 5pm.

The Hungry Beast also looks at the issue of public apologies by celebrities, and concludes Q Q Q Q they might be ‘a little bit bullshit’. Tiger Woods is a case in Dealing with the elephant in point. Backlash can see that the room: through a network of
