Tallowood still on protesters’ radar

Objectors to the proposed Tallowood Ridge Estate subdivision at Mullumbimby are calling for residents to gather outside the Byron Bay courthouse on Wednesday April 28 for a three day Land and Environment Court hearing on the proposal, the first 31 lot stage of which was knocked back by Byron Shire Council. Objectors want to ‘remind the court of our concerns and to show the court that the community supports Council in wishing to protect biodiversity and rural amenity’. Objectors also want ‘to ensure the vacant council road reserve, or paper

road, on the southern side of the development becomes the green buffer, as Council intended, between existing rural residential properties and the proposed urban development. The developers want to build an access road along the ridgeline rather than use their own lands as previously proposed. Council and the community want to see this area reforested to keep the ridgeline free from development. ‘The community also wishes to send a clear message to protect existing vegetation including significant old growth trees. These are directly threatened by proposed house blocks. Another 200 trees have recently been

marked and their future is unknown. As there is currently no transparency in the development it is unclear if the ridge will be cleared for a road to link with the proposed subdivision entrance to Brushbox Drive. ‘The community had been asking for full disclosure of the master plan of the development to allow for a period community consultation and feedback but were advised by the developer that he had no obligation to do so under special condition granted by the State Department of Planning. We understand the [L&E Court] commissioner has also asked for a master plan, however this means that it gets presented to the court without the

chance of community dialogue.’ According to resident Deborah Lilly, ‘If a masterplan is not done, then S96 contributions from the developer in relation to small lot sizes such as 31 lots (the first stage) will not provide enough funds for the needed infrastructure, such as traffic calming devices in the 50k section of Left Bank Road.’ In addition, resident Dave Rawlins said, ‘It is evident that in order to maximise profits the developers wish to fight Council and the community to force through their inappropriate development. During the entire process there has been lack of disclosure.

Rate increase in shire plan The 2010-2013 Draft Management Plan and Budget is on public exhibition until 10 May 2010. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said the draft plan details the services and programs to be delivered by Council along with an overview of capital works planned for 2010/11. ‘It’s a challenging budget for this upcoming financial year,’ she said in a press release. ‘The recently announced rate pegging of 2.6 per cent by the NSW government makes it impossible to maintain the level of service expected by our residents and ratepayers. ‘A 2.6 per cent cap does not cover the real costs that Council experiences and doesn’t allow for increases in electricity, wages and equipment. Unfortunately, the continual cost shifting from the state government to local councils will mean a special rate application for Council for the upcoming financial year.’ Council is seeking a 6.98% special rate increase for 2010/11. The rate increase on the general fund will be used for one million dollars’ worth of services and programs including the new Byron Bay Library $100,000, Byron Sport and Cultural Complex $120,000, Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex maintenance $186,000, increased regional library contribution $84,000, information technology enhancements $195,000, contribution to emergency services (RFS, lifesaving, SES etc) $175,000, beach scraping at New Brighton $130,800, Watego’s Walking Track $50,000, and matching funding for bikeways construction $55,200. For an average residential property, a 6.98% special rate increase is

2 April 20, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

Two houses in Brownell Drive, Watego’s Beach, were destroyed in a fierce blaze last Sunday night. According to a witness, ‘The fire started at number 28 and then spread to 26 through leaves in the gutter and under the roof when the wind picked up. It took eight fire crews to contain, some coming in from Newrybar and other towns. ‘Fire crews had problems with water pressure and used a number of trucks to build the pressure and send water to other units. ‘A trailer of oxygen bottles was brought from Lismore and a second trailer load was required. ‘The fire was so intense that water from the hoses was evaporating. ‘Crews also contended with exploding gas bottles and live wires fallen to the ground. They did a great job contain-

ing the fire at 26 which looked very likely to spread to number 24 only a few metres away.’ A crew stayed on watch all night and prevented flareups. Police started investigating the

blaze on Monday morning. Another resident told The Echo that Watego’s Beach residents ‘are in disbelief that the fire service in Suffolk Park was not called until about an hour

after the initial triple zero call was made. They sent two fire trucks immediately but it was too late as the fire had well and truly taken hold.’ Photo Angus Goozee

Byron loses much-loved Mexican troubador Hans Lovejoy

The Byron Shire community lost a great musician this week with the passing of Hector de Santiago. Hector died tragically last Tuesday April 13, after falling into an unfenced pool in the dark at a Belongil home. As a guitarist/singer, he was well known for busking his Latin American tunes on the streets or outside the restaurants of Byron Bay. He usually performed solo or with percussionist Steve Nugent. According to close friend Lilliana Corredor, Hector emigrated from Mexico to Sydney in the eighties and settled in

A celebration of Hector’s life will be held at Durrumbul Hall this Friday from Byron Bay in the early nineties. who knew and loved him will 6pm.

Council funding available to community groups Byron Shire Council is inviting community organisations, or persons, to apply for Section 356 community donations. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said the funding is a significant way in which community groups can obtain funding for the launch of new and ongoing projects or initiatives. ‘Over the past year, funding has provided equipment for

childcare and youth services, festivals and sporting events, environmental programs, education courses and emergency services,’ Cr Barham said. ‘Byron Shire has a strong community of volunteers who give countless hours and energy into providing valuable services back into our neighbourhoods. In 2009/10, over $75,000 was

granted to about 55 local community organisations, groups and individuals. Mayor Barham said the community funding is highly sought after and last year saw double the number of applications submitted compared to previous years.

New paddle to benefit Bruns groups Eve Jeffery

Organisers of the the inaugural Mullum to Bruns Paddle are excited about the creation of yet another great Brunswick Heads event which will not only promote the beauty of the river and surrounds and promote health and fitness but also will also raise funds for three very important community groups in Bruns. People of all ages are invited to paddle down the Brunswick River on Sunday May 30, using any kind of non-motorised craft – kayaks, rowboats, surf skis, anything that requires people power. Participants will be in safe hands on the day with the Marine Rescue and Surf Club on hand with their IRBs, boats and rescue teams all the way down the river. The paddle will set out from Heritage Park in Mullumbimby 9am and finish at the road bridge in Bruns. There will be a range of free fun and educational activities between the road and pedestrian bridges and in the Terrace Park after the event, with a ‘paddle in’ for those who prefer to play, kayak sessions, a SUP clinic, water safety and rescue demonstrations. There will also be a Lucky Duck Race and live music in the Soundshell. There will be two categories for the event. The non competitive fun paddle for those who like to splash and giggle and for those who like a bit of competition there will be the Paddle Challenge. The paddle will be a fundraiser for some of Brunswick’s key community groups – Marine Rescue, the Surf Lifesaving Club and the Visitor Centre/ Project Office. The three groups have joined forces to organise the inaugural event, which they hope will become an annual feature of the calendar in the

off season in autumn. One of the aims of the paddle is to promote recreation that doesn’t involve anything more than a craft and a bit of energy. ‘The event is compatible with the Bruns Simple Pleasures brand and the eco-friendly fun theme of its festivals and events,’ says Visitor Centre representative Kim Rosen. ‘We are pleased to have The Echo as the principal media sponsor

and principal event sponsors TURSA Employment & Training, Ocean Kayaks and Big Sky Outdoor Experts. Blue Sky Outdoor Experts and Ocean Kayaks have donated an ocean kayak valued at over $1,000, plus a set of trolley wheels for a raffle which will be drawn on the day. They will also provide 20 kayaks for use by the public at The Terrace and help with paddling tips

and expert advice on types of craft to suit all shape, sizes and abilities. It’s a great opportunity to try before you buy. Organisers are still looking for cash sponsors for the event. Please contact Stephen Bond on 6680 2540. Registration for the paddle and other details will be published in The Echo or you can visit the Brunswick website www.brunswickheads.org.au.

Blackbirds singing for Australia’s Got Talent Local band Blackbirds – Adi Noersadi, Renee Simone, and Benhur Helwend – were headhunted by a talent scout to audition for the Channel 7 TV Show Australia’s Got Talent. The trio have been busking together for three years as Blackbirds, but people may also know them from the ukulele based band The Blue Hulas. The three musicians are astounded at how quickly word has been spreading about their ‘cruisy-world-pop’ sound, through social media such as You Tube, My Space and Facebook. ‘We have a fan page on Facebook and a few of our fans are people from around the world who were passing through Byron and saw us busking. Now they are following Australia’s Got Talent on YouTube, it seems crazy,’ says guitarist Adi. The three band members have all lived and played locally for many years and are familiar faces at the Byron Artisan Market, Fresh Café and the Rails. Adi has been playing with various bands in the area for over 14 years. Many people

Byron Headland Reserve, its marine life and how to pass this knowledge on. ‘Volunteers are an integral part of the day to day operations of the Lighthouse Museum. They all bring something unique to the job which enhances our visitors’ experiences of the Cape. Our volunteers come from all walks of life, ages, abilities and background and need no previous guiding experience, just an interest and passion in contributing to conserving our maritime history and the natural environment,’ Yvonne Stewart said. ‘Volunteering at Cape Byron is a great way to spend time at

one of the most beautiful places on the east coast of Australia while educating visitors about our unique environment.’ An information day for new volunteers is being held on Friday April 23 from 10am till 12 noon. This will include morning tea, an introduction to the guiding and volunteer program at Cape Byron and a tour of the Lighthouse Museum. If you would like to learn more about volunteering at Cape Byron please contact Volunteer Coordinator Andy Robinson, on 6620 9300 or andy.robinson@environment. nsw.gov.au. <echowebsection=Local News>

Land and Environment Court to hear more on Tallowood Ridge subdivision From front page

‘Stage 1 has been selling for months without any approved DA, Stage 2 is now for sale and yet a DA has not even been lodged. There is also much uncertainity about the sewerage with an application just been lodged so Tallowood Ridge can build a temporary sewerage treatment plant on site at a cost to Tallowood residents of $6,000 per year. All we ask is that the developers respect current residents’ amentity and protect the many significant ecological attributes of the area.’ In response to residents’ comments and questions from The Echo, Sarah Freeman of

Bayview Land Development Pty Ltd, offered the following statement: ‘On the first day of the Tallowood Court hearing, Commissioner Hussey listened carefully to 15 separate residents make submissions opposing Tallowood Ridge. Detailed notes were recorded for the Commissioner and every part of the site was visited as the day progressed. Commissioner Hussey is now quite familiar with the site and well aware of all of the community’s concerns. ‘Over the next four days of the hearing, the Court heard about the DCP reference to a “shelter belt� along the ridgeline with particular focus on

the “old growth� Tallowood trees. Council put forth its interpretation of the term “shelter belt� as being an extension of the wildlife corridor and Peter Parker informed the Court that leading animals out of the forest into a residential area is not good environmental planning – Council had little choice but to agree with Parker.

Shelter belt ‘As none of the Tallowood trees are proposed for removal to make a road or build homes, all that remains is for the Court to determine the necessary number of rows of trees in the shelter belt to prevent headlights affecting the rural homes

to the south. Council is aware that the trees were surveyed and numbered as part of this planning process so as to accurately describe the species. ‘Of greater concern to the Court was to see much more detail in the “Master Plan� and in particular, evidence showing that flooding is not an issue at Tallowood Ridge. The Court raised a long list of questions to be answered before it would be satisfied with the Master Plan. In response, our consultants have prepared a new Concept Proposal with numerous detailed plans that provides clarity about the future stages. ‘As a result, Tallowood Ridge will now offer an extensive net-

‘Strong demand’ ‘The strong demand for affordable housing in Mullumbimby has led to early release of Stage Two to keep up with demand and several of the lots in Stage Two with views of Mt Chincogan and the River Park are now sold. We must continue to offer the centralised onsite sewer system until Council resolves to release capacity in the new $40 million STP that is approaching completion. ‘Council has borrowed a substantial part of the $40 million, about $30 million, which will cost ratepayers about $1.5 million per year in interest alone until this debt is retired. We believe that the Byron community deserves to

know that the only way this very substantial debt upon the ratepayers is going to get paid off is with contributions from new development. ‘Tallowood Ridge is the only major development in Mullumbimby, so how else is this debt going to get paid off than by allowing connection of Tallowood Ridge when the new STP is ready? We would prefer to connect and have agreed to connect when the STP is commissioned. In the meantime, homeowners in Tallowood Ridge will pay approximately $1,200 per year until connected to Council, not $6,000 as Dave Rawlins says, and the ratepayers will keep paying $1.5 million in bank interest per year. ‘In response to Deborah Lilly’s concerns about Left Bank Road, the Development Consent for Stage One will include a condition that we widen and upgrade the intersection with Tuckeroo Avenue at our expense, not with Sec. 94 funds. Sec 94 funds come from a fixed amount charged on a per-lot basis and are paid as the lots are created. How the funds are spent is not determined by the Master Plan.’

before it was Good Game, an ABC TV program.’ His weekly program started in 2007 from his spare bedroom in Byron Bay. ‘It’s unusual for a one-manshow to win an award like this, so I couldn’t be more chuffed,’ he said. ‘No-one was more surprised than me. You could say it was a bit of an upset win.’ Previously, Mr Gray won ‘Best New Journalist’ award in 2003, as well as being highly commended in the Best Audio Program category last year. This year, however, Risky Business won against a raft of industry heavyweights including CBS Interactive, Fairfax, CHOICE, 2GB, The Australian and The Australian Financial Review.

Gray started off as a full time journalist in 2002 and moved to Byron Bay in 2004 from Melbourne. He has written for Wired. com, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Men’s Style and the now defunct Bulletin Magazine. He has also contributed to ABC Radio National and Newsradio. According to judge and former News.com.au technology editor Chloe Lake, ‘Risky Business has managed to take a traditionally dry – some might say boring – topic area and turn it into compelling, well-paced, fresh content that is commercially viable to boot. A very impressive achievement.’

Page welcomes PET scanner for Lismore Member for Ballina Don Page has welcomed the announcement of a new PET/ CT Scanner for the Lismore Base Hospital. ‘This will be an enormous benefit and valuable resource for the community,’ Mr Page said. ‘This is a good example of bipartisan support by local members, both federal and state, to get a positive outcome. It’s great to see that we will get a PET/CT Scanner for this region after we have campaigned strongly for almost two years.

‘It means people in our region won’t have to travel to Brisbane or Sydney for this three-dimensional scanning technology. ‘We have raised $53,000 to demonstrate the community’s support for the project and I take this opportunity to thank all those who have contributed to that fund, including many people from the Ballina Electorate. ‘Cancer specialists on the far north coast believe one of these machines in our region

will save countless lives.’ The PET/CT Scanner helps doctors more accurately diagnose and identify cancer, heart disease and brain disorder. A typical PET/CT Scan can take four to six hours to complete. The nearest scanner for Northern Rivers residents is Brisbane. Patients requiring this type of scan are often very sick and in pain. Significantly cutting the travelling time for a patient to undergoing a PET/ CT Scan will make the process far more comfortable.

Melanoma support group wins grant

Why sit alone in your room?

Director of Cabaret Anatoly Frusin puts the cast through its paces. Victoria Cosford

Claimed to be the theatrical event of the year, Cabaret is coming to the Byron Community Centre in May. It will be directed by Anatoly Frusin and presented by the Byron Bay Theatre Company, most recently responsible for the award-winning production of Yasmina Reza’s Art and a sell-out season of Pinter’s Old Times. Anatoly told The Echo that, as opposed to the Bob Fosse film Cabaret with which most people are familiar, his version ‘is to be based on the revised musical.’ The origins of Cabaret were stories by Christopher Isherwood in his Goodbye to Berlin. It opened in 1966, to be followed by the film in 1972 which starred Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli and which won eight Oscars, to be revised and revived on Broadway in 1987. Set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazis are rising to power, Cabaret focuses on nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Club and revolves around the 19-year old English cabaret performer Sally Bowles and her relationship with a young

American writer. It is generally considered a masterpiece of musical theatre. ‘It’s a musical that’s got some really profound issues in it,› said Anatoly, ‘the choices we make in our lives growing from the personal to the political; how we deal with personal relationships. It’s full of farce and comedy, it’s a masterpiece of construction and balance between the comic and the serious, the sexual, the domestic... the songs very cleverly reflect these issues.’ This is ‘a pretty major production’, according to Anatoly. ‘This certainly is one of the most ambitious things I’ve taken on. It’s big – there’s so much for the cast to learn: complex music, choreography. There’s a cast of eight and a three-piece band, there’s singing, dancing and acting... it’s almost like an opera!’ And yet Anatoly is quick to point out that ‘it’s really entertaining – it’s so fun!’ Despite the fact it is a ‘musical dealing with the gritty elements of life, which doesn’t shy away from reality, one which almost goes into taboo territory’, he

wants to emphasise that it’s not bleak. ‘Everything goes, from the high-brow to the low-brow, and the music reflects that. There are a lot more songs in the musical than there were in the movie – there’s a bunch of wonderful songs that people might not be familiar with. Musically there are a lot of surprises!’ Musical director is Vasudha Harte, choreography is by Heather Braniff and lighting by Sandesh Gibney. Avikal will play the MC, Sasha Michlitsianos will be Sally Bowles, and the other cast members are Ben Smith-Peterson, April Galetti, Linda Rutledge, Paul Farrell, Simeon Tinsley and Tanya Bilaniwskyj. Cabaret will run for a two-week season, from Thursday May 13 – Saturday May 15 at 7.30 pm, Sunday May 16 at 5 pm, Thursday May 20 – Saturday May 22 at 7.30 pm and Sunday May 23 at 5 pm. Tickets ($25/$20) are available at the Byron Community Centre (phone 6685 6807 or visit www.byroncentre.com. au); The Bookshop, Mullumbimby; Barebones Art Space, Bangalow.

The Byron Shire Melanoma Support Group has won a grant from the NSW Cancer Council to continue its vital work. The Cancer Council provides an opportunity each year for non-government funded groups to apply for cancer control grants in order to make a real difference in their community. Applicants were asked to submit an application in the area of cancer prevention, advocacy, cancer support, research or working in the community on a cancer related project. ‘It’s really helpful to a support group like ours to receive any kind of funding which can aid our attempts to help people struck with this awful and highly lethal disease,’ says Dr Jason Pudsey, facilitator of the Byron Support Group. ‘It also helps us raise the profile of melanoma in this sun-soaked region. Melanoma is the number one cancer that kills 18-40 year olds in Australia, a demographic which makes up a large part of the Byron community. ‘With surfing and sun-tanning such a major part of the Byron lifestyle, it’s important we let people know the risks, and successful ways of combating this disease once they have it.’ Over the past three years,

the NSW Cancer Council has provided over $72,000 to community non-government funded groups across the far north coast for action against cancer. The Byron Melanoma Support Group’s grant of $800 will be used to build up a library on current research and books on melanoma, along with the

publication of information brochures that will be given to schools, life-saving clubs and local medical centres. ‘We are happy to work with any organisation that can help us in these endeavours, and are grateful we can continue to work with the NSW Cancer Council in supporting cancer patients,’ Dr Pudsey said.

Comment

Archaic states dig in their heels Volume 24 #45

April 20, 2010

A lesson in ethics The Uriah Heep of Anglicanism, Peter Jensen, is the archbishop of Sydney, and famous for running the diocese as a medieval walled city. Women, homosexuals and people who think for themselves are not allowed into its tiny precinct, but Jensen deems it his business to mount raids on the rest of society in an effort to reduce freedom, equality and intelligence wherever those loathsome fruits of the Enlightenment appear. In Jensen’s latest foray from the Citadel of Invincible Ignorance he has persuaded the premier to give him interference rights over an educational program currently in preparation. Premier Keneally is a catholic of the gormless kind – when she met the Pope she had an out-of-body epiphany (and if she’d been younger and male, out of the body would probably have been the safest place to be) – and so she has promised that the archbishop will be able to review the pilot program of ethics teaching being organised for public schools by the Parents and Citizens Federation and the St James Ethics Centre. Now you might think that the objection to Jensen’s interference is along the lines of the objection to creationist nonsense being taught in science classes, and indeed the parallel is striking. Or that the objection is based purely on the matter of technical proficiency; after all, Peter Jensen is to ethics as Barnaby Joyce is to economics. But no, the utterly unacceptable aspect of letting Jensen put his inquisitorial paws on this program now is that he was invited, along with the leaders of other superstitions, to take part in it at the very outset, and huffily refused. He told the lie then, and has repeated the lie since, that the pilot program is designed to supplant scripture lessons in public schools. The reality is that in some schools up to 80 per cent of children are removed by their parents from exposure to biblical propaganda. Schools will continue teaching scripture to dwindling classes – Jensen and Keneally will make sure of that – but what should the majority of children do while the religious indoctrination is going on? Well, you could ask them to get to grips with the ethical issues and principles which are considered in various scriptures, but without the bronze age theological trappings. The pilot scheme, to be tried out in ten Sydney public schools, sounds like an excellent idea, and even the testy archbishop might like to consider that such a course would be better for his brand of sky-pie than the alternative, which is to teach the children that all religious scriptures have an equal truth value. It wouldn’t take them long to work that one out. Of course the real reason for the opposition to teaching ethics to children outside of scripture classes is the church’s proprietorial stance that ethics can only be based on religion. That belief was disproved in the eighteenth century, but the Sydney hierarchy enjoys defending the indefensible. Unfortunately this religious psychopathology will adversely affect our children if it succeeds in sabotaging the alternative classes. – David Lovejoy, publisher

he Great Health and Hospitals War has, on the whole, been a pretty unedifying affair. But it has had one useful outcome: even the staunchest conservatives are now having second thoughts about the wisdom of our founding fathers in reserving so much power for the states. Historically, this was hardly surprising, since those same founding fathers were originally all colonial politicians; considerably more hirsute than the present lot, but equally dependent on the support of their local constituencies, who were just as parochial as today’s state of origin crowds. So when it came to drawing up plans for federation, the key question was not how much power the commonwealth government would need to function effectively, but how much the states could retain for their own administrations. Defence and what was then called External Affairs had to be ceded to the central government, but that hardly mattered because Australia’s foreign interests were then seen to be identical with those of Great Britain, so Whitehall was really calling the shots anyway. The free traders won a few concessions which gave the commonwealth the customs service and limited jurisdiction over shipping and railways, but that was about it; the states were left with health, education, law and order, most transport, ports and harbours and anything else that wasn’t specifically handed over. And of course they have their own parliaments and their own law courts – just about all the apparatus of a real nation except an army and navy, although there have been times when their police forces seemed to be filling almost that role. But just what are these bloated and self-important entities, anyway? They are the former

It is obvious that the residents of, say, Tweed Heads have more in common with those of the Gold Coast than with those of distant Broken Hill, but the state lines recognise no such reality. And until the 1950s passengers between Australia’s two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, had to change trains at Albury because each of the states had its own jealously guarded railway gauge. The situation is beyond the ridiculous, and the High Court – a Commonwealth institution – has recognised the fact by slowly but consistently eroding state powers as far as the constitution can be stretched.

Minister, canvassed the idea of a total commonwealth takeover of the hospital system. So with both sides of politics moving in the same direction, perhaps it is time for another look at the tin full of worms which is our federal system. Certainly the public is ready for it; study after study has found an overwhelming view that we are over-governed, with the states considered the least efficient and most dispensable of the three spheres. The replacement of both states and local councils by a system of regional governments based on commonality of interest and need was first proposed forty years ago by Gough Whitlam; the obstacles to its actual implementation remain immense, but perhaps – just perhaps – it is finally time.

left Labor in power in both. In South Australia Mike Rann ended up losing the popular vote, but Labor’s concentration on the marginal seats left him with a workable majority in parliament. In Tasmania the Hare-Clark system, as forecast, delivered a hung parliament of ten Labor, ten Liberal and five Green, and the Labor premier David Bartlett, true to his word, recommended that governor Peter Underwood commission the Liberal leader Peter Hodgman to form a government; the Libs had polled more votes than Labor, and this was seen as the tie-breaker. But Underwood was unconvinced: his own sources told him that the Greens were more likely to provide stability for a Labor administration than for a conservative one, and this was eventually confirmed by the Greens leader Nick McKim. So Underwood followed convention and left the existing government in place; Bartlett had greatness thrust back upon him and started haggling with McKim. The upshot is that Labor dominance across the map of Australia is unchanged: Western Australia’s Colin Barnett remained the sole Liberal premier or chief minister, with the other five states and both territories held by Labor. The hold is, of course, not secure; much of John Brumby’s blustering about hospitals and the GST can be put down to his belief that a bit of good old-fashioned Canberra bashing will help at a tight election later this year, and Kristina Keneally, while personally popular, heads an apparently doomed administration in New South Wales. But the Labor hegemony has proved unusually stable. Given the mediocrity or worse of most of its ministers in the states and territories, this provides yet another reason to take a good hard look at the present structure.

The need to protect biodiversity Dailan Pugh’s article (Echo, April 13) highlights the failure of the current version of Council’s Draft LEP to remedy deficiencies in land zonings that for the past 22 years have been a major reason for the loss of biodiversity in the Shire. The inclusion of High Conservation Value (HCV) vegetation in rural, development and investigation zones in Byron’s 1988 LEP, particularly on rural lands, has resulted in incremental and permanent losses of biodiversity values and created community division on a continuing basis throughout the Shire over this time. The Draft LEP represents an opportunity to correct the present anomalies and to address biodiversity loss, but the proposal to include HCV vegetation on rural lands in the E3 zone (Environmental Management) rather than the E2 zone (Environmental Protection) will continue to result in significant biodiversity loss. At least in the past, planning instruments such as the Tree Preservation Order provided a level of protection for native vegetation in rural areas, but the imposition of the State Government’s rigid LEP template has outlawed this mechanism. There has been some criticism of the accuracy of the HCV vegetation mapping that is required as a basis for E2

zoning, but errors are relatively minor and often a result of the mapping scale. In any case, inaccuracies can easily be examined and addressed through appropriate adjustment following submissions from affected landowners during the Draft LEP’s public exhibition period. The recent move to include all riparian areas (although not yet defined) on both urban and rural lands in E2 zoning partially addresses the deficiencies in the current Draft LEP but only goes part way to resolving present inadequacies. If Council is serious about sustaining the Shire’s nationally significant biodiversity values in the face of continuing pressures from exponential human population growth and the impacts of climate change, then inclusion of all valid HCV vegetation in E2 zonings on rural and other development lands is crucial.

Support for VICs

Q

The grudging acceptance of Council’s decision to grant $5,000 to the Brunswick Heads Visitor Centre in your editorial last week does The Echo no credit. The visitor centres of Byron Shire are the only unfunded ones in the state (and maybe the country). All other councils, to a greater or lesser extent, recognise the contribution to social and economic capital of well-functioning and properly supported visitor centres, and fund them accord-

Dailan Pugh has been a tireless advocate for the environment for many years and his article in last week’s Echo highlights the importance of protecting the Shire’s biodiversity. However his claim that ‘Council has set back conservation in this Shire by 22 years’ because of amendments made by Council to the draft Local

Environmental Plan (LEP) requires a response. In fact the decision of Council is a step forward and will extend environmental protection in the draft LEP compared to the current LEP as well as introduce some new measures to protect High Conservation Value (HCV) and riparian areas. Mr Pugh’s concern is with the amount of HCV land that is to be zoned E2. All lands within environmental protection zones in the current LEP are to be zoned E2 (Environmental Conservation) in the draft LEP. The HCV lands referred to by Mr Pugh are not currently zoned for environmental protection, but they will be included in an environmental protection zone (E3, Environmental Management) in the draft LEP. This represents a significant extension on the current situation and implements a key action of the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (BCS). Importantly, the environmental protection and management provisions of the draft LEP that apply Biodiversity Conservation Strategy measures are the same for E2 and E3 zones. The BCS and ‘data’ were not ‘deemed irrelevant’ and will continue to be applied in extending HCV and threatened species protection. The resolution successfully

proposed by myself and Cr Morrisey includes a number of new initiatives that will further extend protection including for riparian areas not currently within environmental protection zones and by identifying riparian land with current zonings that are inconsistent with biodiversity objectives so that environmental protection can be applied. High conservation value (HCV) vegetation that is currently excluded from mapping or consideration for environmental protection because it is too small, is to be identified and an LEP clause drafted to protect biodiversity values. This is critically important for ensuring all HCV vegetation is conserved, especially on the lowland areas of the shire where HCV vegetation is generally more fragmented and there are fewer opportunities for inclusion in environmental protection zones. Concerns remain about state government direction regarding tree preservation measures and clearing provisions in the Native Vegetation Act that may work against the environmental protection provisions in the draft LEP. The NSW government needs to recognise the difficulties it is creating for local government and find meaningful solutions so that Councils can protect biodiversity.

ingly. This doesn’t mean unfettered public money, it means measured support (not necessarily financial) in return for the multifarious and valuable contribution VICs make to the community. As a member of Council’s Tourism Advisory Committee, I have been asked to provide a report on the ‘relevance’ to the shire of the Byron Visitor Centre. In compiling the report, and referring to the new Tourism Management Plan, I was reassured – as if I needed

to be – to note that the Byron Visitor Centre is providing the vast majority of functions and services in Council’s plan. That’s right, the BVC is already providing (and has done so for eleven and a half years) the services for which it has received no funding whatsoever, and which the TMP lists as essential to good tourism management. It has done this through support from the tourism industry and local business. Similarly, the Brunswick Heads VIC is the result of thousands of un-

paid hours by members of the community and chamber of commerce to provide what the TMP recommends. The BVC has long called for the establishment of a tourism unit at Council, the employment of a Tourism Officer and the adoption of a Tourism Management Plan. It’s most gratifying that at last steps are being taken to achieve these goals.

Effective lobbying To answer Chris Anderson (Letters, April 13): a lobby group’s effectiveness is based on many factors, namely the time and dedication of its committee and helpers, the skills and resources it can harness and, vitally, how well it speaks for its supposed constituency. Elected representatives then have to decide for themselves how accurately the lobby group represents its community. The Suffolk Park Progress Association (SPPA) organised public meetings on the supermarket issue in 2007 and 2008 (minutes on website) and petitions. The meetings were well

attended and the collective decision was to oppose the supermarket. SPPA’s formal submission to Council duly reflected this. Anyone in the community was also able to make submissions or representations to Councillors, either supporting or opposing the supermarket, and many did. Council decided not to rezone the land from 2a residential to commercial, effectively not allowing the supermarket to go ahead. That’s how our democratic system works. The SPPA always welcomes new members and helpers. K Kolbe

Micro bats welcome It was good to read the article about the part micro bats play in our ecosystem, eating vast numbers of mosquitoes, but why does it suggest removing micro bats from their winter niches? Why is there a need to remove them from the tiny spaces outside the house where they intend to spend the winter? Why not just leave them there? They are causing no harm whatsoever and the only reason they are there is because we have destroyed their natural habitat. We have them here and are happy to host them over winter.

Holiday let solution A simple solution to the holiday let problem would be for the Byron Shire Council to issue legitimate and approved accommodation with a sign stating ‘Council Approved Accommodation’, registration number etc. This sign would be prominently displayed at the front of the approved accommodation. As it stands, many operators trading as legitimate are not approved, and the council is missing out on huge amounts of income. As Jan Barham stated in the Byon Shire News, April 15, if something went wrong within the confines of an unapproved holiday accommodation let, the council would have to bear the responsibility.

letter on page 12 of The Echo of April 6 outlines the likely scenario that brought Woolies to Mullumbimby. It claims that ‘Council of the day ... identified the site in Station Street’. I doubt this. ‘Council’ gets blamed for much, partly because it has several forms. I was on the second half of that Council’s term, from 2002 to 2004. The issue never came to Council (ie to the elected body that meets and votes). I was aware of several informal meetings with Mallams’ development people however. Council staff and some prodevelopment Councillors attended these. I attended one such meeting to sniff out the flavour ... and was horrified. The supermarket site was not mentioned at that particular meeting, though – I’d have flipped. I don’t think the matter was ever ‘brought to Council’ until staff put Mallams’ DA before the Council after mine (20042009). Duncan Dey

Mullumbimby Q I

would like to comment on three points raised in Chris Abraham’s letter (Echo, April 6/4/10) where he provides an inaccurate historical account about Mallams involvement in the Station Street supermarket development. Firstly he is wrong when he implies that access for semi

The only belief system required for this is that beliefs should be supported by evidence. Thus, this atheism is no more a belief system than an absence of belief in hobgoblins is. So, no evidence, so no belief. No big deal, surely? Various meanings of agnostic exist. These include ‘no knowledge of deities exists’ and ‘a person who doesn’t know whether they believe in a deity’. The former would appear to be consistent with all forms of atheism.

trailers was the ‘significant matter’ for commencing negotiations with Council. Far more significant issues included: total lack of retail space and storage, 50% of grocery shoppers leaving Mullum for other supermarkets, limited parking, a building not suitable for modern supermarket operations and a genuine fear that the large national chains wanted to be in Mullumbimby. Next he states, ‘Mallams then prepared a DA for this site which involved a 2500sqm floor area supermarket.’ The Mallam’s Supermarket never prepared a DA. It was a rezoning application submitted in August 2004 by Chris Mallam and Ray Musgrave. The Mallams Supermarket was to be a tenant in the building that we would build. Unfortunately most people don’t know that the Councillors voted on the narrowest of margins (5 against, 4 in favour) not to approve the rezoning application even though the current Director of Planning prepared two comprehensive engineering and planning reports recommending approval for rezoning the site. His third statement ‘Could it have been that Mallams always intended to onsell the approval?’ is false, unsubstantiated, misleading and worst of all made by someone who has absolutely no comprehension of the values and qualities

of the people involved in the project. Mallams supermarket and we as the applicant never intended to sell. All we wanted to do was to continue providing a quality service to its customers and hopefully encourage many of those leaving Mullum to stay and shop. Mallams wanted to be around for many years to come and their history indicated that they would be. Unfortunately the seven gruelling years spent trying to achieve this desire, our unpleasant dealings with a small group of hostile, politically astute objectors, substantial increases in building costs, onerous development requirements, excessive S94 monetary fees from Byron Shire Council and the emerging global financial crisis took its toll. In mid 2007 after much soul searching the group agreed that it no longer had the desire or motivation to continue supermarket activities in Mullumbimby. It was never our intention to sell. The idea was always to continue to operate a high quality independent local supermarket in the face of pressure from the bigger chains and yet, because of influences beyond our control, that is precisely what happened.

A major problem with the ‘atheism is just another belief system’ argument is the implication that all beliefs are equally valid. Senator Conroy lives on a behind post, 6=8, the Tooth Fairy sleeps with Santa Claus. Need I go on?

Byron Bay Q I

appreciate that Shearwater, Mullumbimby’s Steiner School, is a private school, and one that has been financially mismanaged. I also understand that trying to raise two million dollars in six weeks is a ludicrous predicament for an organisation to find itself in. However, I don’t accept that the community can afford to lose Shearwater. I was on a bus that stopped at the Steiner school and all the kids that got on the bus were all smiling and wearing colourful clothes. The biggest kid even let other little kids sit next to him on the back seat. I had never experienced such ‘life’ in kids during my own schooling. Shearwater is a symbol of this area’s alternative, counterculture roots. It’s ‘not mainstream’ and ‘not mainstream’ is something we embrace in this area. It’s what makes this area such a vibrant and colourful place to live. We choose alternative. We have The Echo, possibly the highest quality independent newspaper in the nation, the Mullumbimby birthing centre, naturally delivering dozens of healthy babies, and even the Byron Shire Council, which alternatively is Green, has chosen a location ‘alternative’ to Byron Bay. Once we start losing icons of our alternative way, it’s a slippery slope, and before long, we have a Woolworths in our backyard. Two million dollars is a tall order, yet this is the target Shearwater must reach. With the community’s help, the sun will not set on Shearwater. Obi McDonald-Saint

(not a parent) Mullumbimby ous and a deterrent to tourism. This huge fine has set a precedent for punishing future ‘ecovandals’ – so who’s next? While the income would be welcome to a council that pays hefty premiums for litigaton insurance, the fine is excessive. But this issue is less about trees than about protocol. Council environmental officers can approve the destruction of trees at their discretion, but if you don’t seek permission, you lose everything. After all, Council had no issues about destroying hectares of sensitive wetlands for the new playing fields at Byron. Face it, Main Arm. like other valleys in the Shire, has too many trees in some places. We

an outside observer of the Shearwater debacle, could some of those fighting for the school’s survival kindly answer the following questions for me. I’d appreciate this clarification as the private school sector remains one of the very few sectors in our society that

receives huge amounts of public money but is not required to provide any public information about how that money is used. I am one of those shut out of such information. Apparently administrators have revealed liabilities of $10 million! (Mark Stephan, Letters, April 13). Private schools receive donations and charge fees to cover running costs but Shearwater, like all private schools, has also received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Australian taxpayers since it opened. Is the school accountable in any way for those public funds and the ways in which they have been spent? Is the financial position the result of poor investment during the financial crisis and if so, have taxpayers simply lost their money too? Is this what public funds are used for? Are the administrators assuming those public funds will continue to pour into the school despite being on the brink of bankruptcy? While changes have been made ‘to facilitate the improved governance of the school’ (‘Shearwater’s fight for survival’, Echo, April 13), are those responsible for the incompetence or possible misuse of these taxpayer funds still running the school? Have they simply been dismissed or will they be held accountable for their gross mismanagement of public funds as would occur in any other publicly funded organisation? Finally, any public school principal accruing a $10 million debt through budget mismanagement would be ‘hung, drawn and quartered’ by the media for gross incompetence and possibly corruption (and rightly so) but instead we have our local papers supporting the school and not a peep from the mainstream media. Why? Is this because the word ‘accountability’ is now only relevant when discussing public education and private

When I travelled from Tasmania three years ago to take a tour of Shearwater Steiner School, I never imagined I would spend almost three hours walking around the campus with Stan, discussing the history and vision of the school. As I drove back towards the airport with my then 15 year old daughter, I was almost afraid to ask what she thought (as I had been so impressed). When I did finally ask her, she replied, ‘I feel like I’ve come home.’ It was a powerful and scary feeling to be so drawn to a place and a school – especially when we lived so far away. The school grew quickly to become the largest Steiner school in Australia, and did many things right to get to that point, so it is very disappointing that mistakes and poor decisions have caused this crisis which affects so many in the shire. This school needs to rebuild on its new constitution and management structure in order to thrive again. There is something special about the children who attend and then graduate from Shearwater. I burst with pride when I quietly watch my son’s Class One, joyfully discovering letters in the land of lost letters… I am privileged to have befriended quite a few teenagers – clear thinking, articulate, proud young people who step into the world knowing they have a right and reason to be here. I believe not only the children and Byron Shire needs this school, I think the world needs these children.

need to occasionally thin some trees in order to better manage our other trees – keeping fire trails passable is one example. Trees are important – but so are people. We have to find a workable balance, and persecuting ratepayers is not the way. Watch for the new Local Environment Plan which will impose the extreme activity restraints of E2 high conservation zoning on much more of the Shire’s rural areas. Is this a quiet attempt to drive the hippies out of the hills? We don’t live in a National Park, we live on our land in a rural agricultural re-

gion. We own the trees, we live among the trees and we do the work of managing the trees, so why should low income rural residents have to fear the punishment of a brutal council – the same council that allows banana farming, grazing and subdivision in the shire? Tree preservation laws are in place to achieve specific outcomes, but surely this can happen without destroying people’s lives. Is it naive to think the council should be there to serve the people – not to be a law unto itself?

Spruce up the park

Cries from the northern end

As a newcomer to Byron Bay, one thing that has struck me is the appalling condition of the park in what could be considered as the centre of town. This park is next to the bus depot and across the road from the Byron Bay Cultural Centre. It is the first port of call for many visitors to Byron Bay. The park should reflect what Byron Bay is about: beauty, colour and vibrancy. There have been times when I have been hesitant to let my young child walk through the overgrown grass to get to the basic Charles Boyle play equipment. The park feels Main Arm seedy, unsafe and unclean. There is a real opportunity for this park to be upgraded Serving Byron Bay and surrounding districts and to become a vibrant hub for tourists, local businesses and families. With improved play equipment, picnic benches, shade and landscaping this could become a wonderfulplace to meet others, to play and to enjoy Byron Bay. It could even become a buskers’ hub or speakers’ corner. The council could tender the job to local landscape architects who would love to showcase their work.

cilities, they seem to think the local kids can go elsewhere and play. Have they themselves tried our transport system here? The tennis courts are a dangerous mess. The courts at Water Lily Park have many holes in the playing surface where three players recently have had bad falls resulting in sporting injuries. Many phone calls and many promises but alas no action again. The Water Lily Park is a lovely area for families to enjoy but the water itself is so polluted fish are dying and birds are few. The council said wait for the rain – well, the rain came and the water is still polluted and the lake is in need of a cleanout, especially where the water runs out under Orana Road. Perhaps with elections come up again we may get some work done after all. It only took Pauline Kapral Brunswick Heads ten years Ocean Shores to finally get their skateboard park.

Q Ratepayers of Ocean Shores, are you sick or seeing the roads in Ocean Shores full of potholes? Are you sick of seeing the gutters broken up? The dangers in the area just walking are quite bad. I recently fell in a pothole and did my ankle, reported same to Council and nothing was done about it. Well, it’s about time we all stood up to the council and started getting what we pay for with our rates other than garbage collection and battles with the developers (especially wasted money fighting Woolies). The Ocean Shores Community Association has done nothing to help this situation. Let’s start our own vocal ratepayers association. If interested call me on 6680 1489 after 7pm and I will be happy to join you in getting something going that has some real bang behind it.

Dead areas Travelling through the shire recently I noticed all the dead areas along the roads, looked like Council and North Coast Weeds were up to their old tricks of spraying poison. Not only on the roads but I walk past the Mullum HIgh School all the time and it’s looking like the roads do, poison sprayed where a whippersnipper would do the job. I was on my way home just before the kids broke for holidays and three kids were sitting near the fence of the school which had been sprayed and one kid had his bum in the dead area, so I asked if they were aware that this area had been poisoned – they didn’t have a clue. I thought that health and safety and duty of care would come into play here and that

the school would inform students that these areas have been poisoned, obviously not. Maybe concerned parents need to lobby the principal to do so or better still stop the poisoning and get the whippersnipper out. Paul Brecht

railway park, a huge sporting complex, mowing/slashing everywhere and a cycleway to nowhere for the few, which will no doubt be asphalted. We of the northern end of the Shire go begging. We have disgusting roads where we all play dodgem cars around the potholes and patches, no sporting fields, no beach parking, no decent public toilets where needed, hardly any playgrounds, no swimming pool for the kids to learn to swim, no footpaths in the right places, dangerous bridges, people even walk around at night with torches due to little street lighting, and definitely no mowing/ slashing or garden maintenance as can be seen at the three Ocean Shores entrances, Brunswick Bridge and the Old Highway etc, etc. What the hell’s going on here? Also the Council wants to increase rates! They’ve got to be joking. I would like the mayor or councillors to publish the amount of expenditure that has been put into this area compared to other areas since the unfortunate election and a reason why she and the councillors see fit to disregard this area. The head in the sand approach is not good enough. You were elected to represent all the ratepayers and not just point score popular projects. Surely we don’t have to resort to a petition to get the mayor and the councillors to have at least some of the above needs addressed. Stephen Hayman

happen to him again tomorrow. That is exactly what happened to my grandmother and she kept that newspaper clipping all of her life. While the services are now much better at supporting and informing families before such stories reach the media, that does not reduce the worry that they still suffer. Furthermore they hear the debates about the ‘wars of choice’ in which their loved ones are participating, and they may well disagree with such wars themselves. These conflicting personal and community opinions may further contribute to their anxiety and I ask that when we debate we do so with empathy for their situation. Given Australia’s history many families will have similar stories in their backgrounds and I encourage us to dust them off and talk about them. They illustrate how love and pain are so closely linked, they highlight experiences that have shaped our lives, they can help us understand the full impacts of wars and what some families are experiencing right now. If you know people feeling the pain of having a loved one at war, please be there for them, be a good friend. Another group of people needing practical support are the surviving widows of veterans. There are more than 200 in Byron Shire and Legacy urgently needs volunteers to assist them. These women have cared for veterans and shared the psychological and financial impacts that war had on them. If you would like to help, which may be simply as a social contact, please contact Legacy through Vi Hill on 6680 9583.

As we approach Anzac Day the thoughts and thanks of many will turn to those who have served and sacrificed in past and current conflicts. Might I ask that we also spare a thought for those of us who have loved ones currently serving overseas. Imagine what it must be like for them hoping, hoping, hoping that all is OK. Think of the nagging worry we have when our teenage kids are out partying and we are hoping that we never get a call to say that something has happened. Multiply that nagging feeling by ten and imagine it there all day, every day and we might get some idea of what it is like to have a loved one in the constant dangers of war or peacekeeping service. When my son turned 19 I was so relieved that he was not following my footsteps and I had greater empathy for what it must have been like for my parents when I was away. I remember that on my return from Vietnam I was walking off the plane and I could see my father and other relatives waiting for me but I couldn’t see my mother. I could see my auntie, who looked like Mum with much greyer hair, but I couldn’t actually see Mum. As I got closer I realised that the

grey haired lady was my mother – the worry of the past year had had a huge effect on her. A little later my father asked me how I got on ‘that night’ at such and such a place. Feigning ignorance I asked what he was talking about. He then told me what he had read in a newspaper article and how he had put two and two together to know that I was there. He went on to tell me how he often had nightmares which seemed to mesh his worries about me with his own wartime recollections. To get some idea of the emotions one might feel as a parent or partner place yourself in this scenario. It is World War 2 and you have a son in New Guinea. One morning you pick up the newspaper and there is an article about a massive battle involving his unit. As you read your son’s name is actually mentioned and you learn that he was nearly killed by grenades but bravely continued to stay in the line to support his mates. You would have known nothing about this before reading the paper. Even if your son could have written to you in time, he (like me), would not have told you anyway. Imagine the emotions – first the horrific shock; then the relief that he had survived; then the pride that he had served so bravely; then the worry that this could

Comment/Articles

NSW government plays a game of coastal distraction Dailan Pugh

On the one hand the NSW government has distracted us with its proposals to change the Coastal Protection Act to allow ‘temporary coastal protection works’, while on the other hand it is proposing changes to its Infrastructure State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) to completely supplant Byron Shire’s policy of Planned Retreat and to make Byron’s Coastal Zone Management Plan redundant before it is even adopted. Consistent with the government’s proposed changes to the Coastal Protection Act, the proposed changes to the Infrastructure SEPP allow for coastal protection works to be undertaken without any need for approval or environmental assessment, where the works are ‘temporary minor development’. In practice, this is intended to allow interim protection works using sandbags and sand dumping for up to 12 months, irrespective of environmental impacts or the loss of our beaches.

The Infrastructure SEPP intends to take this further by allowing for more substantive works to be constructed as complying development where the works will be of ‘low or minor’ environmental impact and be in place for less than five years. Low or minor are subjective terms, highly dependent upon the scale they are considered at. This vague wording, and a requirement that works be later removed, heralds the potential for inappropriate works and expensive court cases. Most significantly, the NSW government proposes to allow substantive permanent protection works, such as rock walls and groynes, to be undertaken anywhere, subject to a development application, provided that ‘potential offsite impacts of the works can be managed’. Managing impacts is very different from the current Coastal Protection Act’s requirement that works must be consistent with the principles of ecologically sustainable development and must not adversely affect

beaches or coastal processes. A SEPP overrides Council’s LEP and DCP, and proposed changes to the Coastal Protection Act are specifically directed at allowing Coastal Plans to be overridden by the Infrastructure SEPP. So Byron Council’s policy of Planned Retreat and its draft Coastal Plan are intended to be rendered largely redundant by the NSW government’s coastal reforms.

It is disappointing that the NSW Government has once again rorted due process to make years of effort by communities in developing Coastal Plans largely irrelevant. This happened before with the native vegetation and water reform processes. A succession of BEACON (Byron Environment and Conservation Organisation) representatives have spent a frustrating 12 years

trying to maximise conservation outcomes in the tortuous process of developing Byron’s Coastal Plan. The NSW government’s latest intervention means that most of our time and hundreds of thousands of dollars in ratepayers’ money spent on staff time and consultants has been wasted. The only positive in the NSW’s government’s proposed coastal reforms is a greater emphasis on the user pays principle. Councils will be able to levy annual charges on benefiting landowners for ‘coastal protection services’. The Infrastructure SEPP also requires ‘the landowner will fund any ongoing works, including beach nourishment that may be required to minimise off site impacts and maintain the works’. It is good to think that the Belongil landowners, rather than ratepayers, will need to pay the $30 million or so required for a one-off sand nourishment of Belongil beach to compensate for the loss of the beach due to their works, particularly as

they will need to repeat this after each major storm. Though the reality is that they will not be able to find enough sand to maintain a beach as the seas rise, so instead we will simply lose our beach, and eventually their undermined walls will collapse into a bigger mess. Overriding Council’s Coastal Plans with ad hoc protection works is the wrong response from the NSW ALP to rising sea-levels, increasing cyclone intensities and accelerating coastal recession. The result will be increased loss of our beaches and sand dunes, their replacement with ad hoc constructions, increased losses of people and inappropriately sited buildings in extreme storms, and increased loss of our shorebirds, turtles and coastal ecosystems. If implemented, these changes will turn our coasts into a mess, create new opportunities for expensive litigation, and result in financial black holes to drain coastal communities dry.

The launch of a million dollar lottery, an initiative of the Mater Foundation, took place in Byron Bay recently. The prize is one of the apartments in the luxury Butter Factory complex in Jonson Street and the aim of the lottery is to raise funds for the Mater Mothers’ and Mater Children’s Hospitals in Brisbane as well as Sydney’s Prince of Wales Hospital. Sausages were sizzling in the courtyard on the first floor of the glamorous complex where members of the Mater marketing team were dispensing information and operating the barbecue. Marketing Manager Zita Kapper told The Echo that ‘the point about today is to raise awareness of the Mater Prize Home Lottery and the work that we do to support sick babies and children in northern NSW and Queensland.

Up on the next level the apartment in question was attracting considerable interest from people wandering through the air-conditioned, sumptuously furnished rooms. White walls and lofty ceilings, polished floorboards and a vast living/dining area with open kitchen, a balcony looking out on to Jonson Street: for a $2 lottery ticket this is an impressive prize. Last year over 880 babies and children from NSW with severe or life-threatening medical conditions were cared for at the Mater. The Mater Mothers’ Hospital Neonatal Critical Care Unit provides intensive specialist care to 2,000 premature and seriously ill babies. The home, Apartment 14/140 Jonson Street, Byron Bay, is open for display from 9am to 5pm daily until June 23.

Homeless youth supported Big crowd for farmers market Story & photo Victoria Cosford profile in the community.’

It was Open House recently at the Byron Bay Youth House. As part of Youth Week 2010, Youth Homelessness Matters Day provided an opportunity to raise awareness of the need to support young people who are homeless or at risk of becoming so. Nearly half of all homeless Australians are children and young people under the age of 25, according to 2006 census statistics. Specific strategies to address this problem are critical to the overall reduction of homelessness in Australia, including early intervention and prevention services. Angela Ward, coordinator for Byron Bay Youth House, welcomed a large crowd of people to a morning tea. Involved in the organisation for five years, she told The Echo that ‘this particular day is about raising awareness of homelessness but also to demystify perceptions about the homeless’. She spoke to the crowd about ‘spreading the word out there that we are here. I’m hoping we’ll be less invisible, like homeless people tend to be regarded – I’d like us to have a higher

Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham officially opened the event, talking about how ‘youth homelessness is a need often not recognised... If putting a roof over someone’s head when they’re young can change their life then that’s where it starts.’ Kashi, one of the volunteers, has been involved with the Youth House for nearly three years. He told the crowd that ‘it’s been a really wonderful journey for me. I didn’t bring up a family so I didn’t know how I’d go here – but volunteering has such a special role. ‘You can just be yourself in terms of just being here and connecting. I meet amazing young people, diverse personalities and different life stories. The longer I’ve been here the more I see what a valid place it has in people’s lives. ‘I’d never really considered the issues of homelessness, suicide and self-harm seriously – these are vital things in our community. I recommend anyone to do it [volunteering] – it’s a two-way street and I just get so much in return.’ Secretary of the management team Neroli Jager then spoke about ‘how incredibly

lucky we are in Byron to have a service like this, unlike Lismore or Ballina. I encourage all people to get involved. A small group of citizens can change the world, as Margaret Mead said.’ And finally 18 year old Brooke Arrowsmith, a former resident of the Youth House, described leaving home on the Gold Coast at the age of 15 ‘due to a family breakdown’ and ending up in Byron Bay spending ‘some nights sleeping on the beach’ until she discovered the Youth House. ‘Three years on’, she said, ‘I am proud to say I am a confident young woman, a caring mother with a loving partner, thanks to the Youth House.’ Jan Barham told The Echo that ‘it’s fabulous that we’re seeing greater awareness about homelessness here, what with the Youth House and Fletcher Street Cottage.’ The Youth House itself – young boys strumming guitars, people mingling around a table of refreshments – is a light, bright and spacious residence in Browning Street. Comfortable couches with cushions are grouped around a wide-screen television set; a long corridor of polished floorboards leads to bedrooms, bathrooms and laundry; out the back there’s a punching bag, wooden tables and a neatly mown lawn. It is warm and welcoming. Homeless youth, rather than be judged delinquent by the community, need either opportunities created for them in order to prevent their homelessness or access to long-term housing. There are underlying causes to their homelessness of which the surrounding community is often quite unaware, such as family violence and parent/adolescent conflict. Anyone who is interested in becoming a volunteer or in any other way involved in the Byron Bay Youth House should contact Angela on 6685 7264 or by emailing bbyhcoordinator@ linknet.com.au.

The inaugural Mullumbimby Farmer’s Market, held on Friday April 9 at the Mullumbimby Showgrounds, drew a large crowd. Locals and tourists by the hundreds enjoyed the best local produce and buzzy atmosphere that filled 55 colourful stalls. Mullumbimby local and market-goer Lorella RicciMarriott said, ‘I am so excited, finally I can get this amazing meat right here. Other farmers markets were too far for me but now I can walk here and shop for everything and all before my husband leaves for work.’ The ‘amazing meat’ was supplied by stall holder Dave Trevor-Jones, of Hayter’s Hill Farm, who noted that he was seeing friendly faces that he hadn’t

seen for a year or so as they lived too far to conveniently visit the other farmers markets. An initiative of the North Byron Farmer’s Market Association along with Mullumbimby community members, the Mullumbimby Farmer’s Market has been much anticipated. The group hopes to expand the concept of farmer’s markets by selecting stallholders who use local farm produce in their products as well as giving top stall priority to the local primary producers themselves. Market manager Judy McDonald told The Echo, ‘We recognised the need to broaden the market concept. By including products that are locally made from local ingredients we hope to reduce the need for people to visit the big supermarkets. ‘It was the Easter school hol-

idays and a lovely day, but we really hope people continue to embrace these markets. With so many stalls it’s a big market to come back to, and in a fabulous position. It is so great to be able to use a part of the showground, and revenue of $5 from each stall per week goes to the Showground Trust.’ Mullumbimby Farmers Market queries can be directed to mullummarket@gmail.com or 6684 5390. Interested producers should note that there is already a stallholder waiting list. If you have not experienced a farmers market yet you are missing out, and there is one for everyone now, at Byron Bay on Thursdays, Mullumbimby on Fridays, Bangalow on Saturdays, and New Brighton on Tuesdays.

Come what, May: gigs for writers Young adult fiction and short story are hot at the moment, and Margo Lanagan is a big name in both. Next month she comes to Byron Bay as a guest of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre and her visit offers opportunities for local writers working in either of these genres. Margo will spend one full day conducting one-on-one consultations with local YA fiction writers, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of their individual projects and exploring the demands of that market. These consultations will be held on Wednesday May 5. The consultations cost $90 and are available to NRWC members only. Next day Margo will present Twist in the Tale, a one-day masterclass on writing short story. Twist in the Tale is a chance for experienced short story writers to fine-tune their craft. There will be structured writing exercises throughout the day and participants will pre-read each other’s work for a critiquing session in the afternoon. Maximum 10, cost for NRWC members $115, nonmembers $145.

Consultations and masterclass will be held in the Byron Community Centre, places are limited and bookings are essential. Next month Dianne Blacklock comes to Byron Bay to present a one-day workshop entitled What Do Women Want? With women accounting for 80% of book sales worldwide, it’s a question that writers of mass-market and literary fiction would all do well to ponder. NRWC program coordinator Susie Warrick reports that Dianne Blacklock has devel-

oped a ‘recipe’ for writing popular women’s fiction and it’s working. ‘Since Dianne’s first manuscript was picked up off the slush pile in 2000, she has published six novels and is now working as a full-time writer,’ said Susie. What Do Women Want? will be held at Waywood Gallery’s Blue Studio in the Byron A&I Estate on Saturday, 8 May. NRWC members $67.50, nonmembers $80.

Northern Rivers Careers Expo Addresses Skills Shortages

Gold Coast Training Academy 25 years experience is the difference

In a tough jobs market, the 2010 Northern Rivers Careers Expo is a driving force in helping local school leavers and job seekers find genuine long term employment in the region. Now in its 7th year the Northern Rivers Careers Expo is the region’s premier careers event for training organisations and local employers to market to school leavers and jobseekers, who want to gain skills and career options. The 2010 Careers Expo is on Thursday 29th April and Friday 30th April 9.30am-3pm at Lismore City Hall, Bounty Street, Lismore. The Expo aims to tackle skills shortages and unemployment head on by showcasing the range of career options open to the next generation of employees.

A firm fixture on the schools’ calendar the Careers Expo is attended by students from years 9 - 12, from Grafton to Tweed Heads. Organiser, Ashley Burke-Smith comments: “The current economic climate is making the labour market more competitive by the day and school leavers and jobseekers are very aware of this. As a result we are noticing a mini ‘boom’ in the training industry. Several training organisations are reporting big increases in their application numbers and I expect visitors to the 2010 Expo to arrive in greater numbers and be even more motivated than usual.� During the Expo attendees have an opportunity

Accessing the Careers Expo provides the Year 10 students with an alternate perspective that enables them to plan a range of achievable options. Try a Trade is an innovative concept that keeps our hands on learners engaged and often opens up an opportunity to make conversation with the exhibitors.� The ‘Try a Trade’ section is highly popular with visitors. Sponsor Melissa Hughes, Vocational Education Consultant, Connect comments: “This Expo is a great opportunity for young people to access professional careers advice from a vast range of people. The Try-a-Trade stand in particular gives young people a chance for a 'hands-on' introduction to a variety of trades as well as an opportunity to talk to local trades people and apprentices about getting into these trades.� The 2010 Careers Expo is being held on Thursday 29th April and Friday 30th April 9.30am-3pm at Lismore City Hall, Bounty Street, Lismore.

ew research reveals a startling gap in the waste recycling practices of Australian households. An independent study, conducted for Planet Ark by Pollinate, has found correct recycling practices for printer cartridges, mobile phones, computers and other electrical equipment, signiÄcantly lag behind those of paper, plastic bottles and aluminium cans.

‘It’s really encouraging that most Australians recycle their paper and plastic packaging but when it comes to e-waste recycling we still have a long way to go.’

‘And with over 32,000 Australian businesses participating in the program, individuals who have a collection box in their workplace also have the option of ‘Printer cartridges are complex items recycling their household ink cartridges which are unable to be recycled at work,’ says Gray. ‘We also encourage alongside everyday household waste,’ any business that uses more than three says Gray. ‘When we put the wrong printer cartridges a month to register for a items in a household recycling bin, we contaminate the entire contents of the bin free workplace collection box.’ ‘The research found more than 90 per and reduce the effectiveness of the whole Printer cartridges collected through cent of Australians correctly dispose of everyday household recyclables but when recycling process.’ Printer cartridges ‘Cartridges 4 Planet Ark’ are either can easily be dropped off for recycling in it comes to recycling e-waste (electronic returned to their original manufacturer for

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.

include these as well as replacing showers with 3-star WELS rated shower heads, installing rainwater tanks to supply water to amenities buildings and for swimming pool top-up, installing pressure reduction valves on water pipelines, reusing treated efuent and installing restrictors and water efďŹ cient tapware. Customers using signiďŹ cant 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 beneďŹ ts of installing water-efďŹ cient ďŹ xtures and ďŹ ttings 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 signiďŹ cant.

In most cases, we can spend up to a quarter of our lives in our ofÄce environment so it is important to put environment saving practices into place in our workplace just as we do at home. Here are a few tips to get you going. • Car pool with some of your work colleagues. The beneÄts are immense. You reduce your carbon emissions, save on petrol money, decongest roads and it’ll make you feel good. • If you can’t car pool, take public transport. Public transport is now easily accessible and can often be faster in heavy trafÄc. • Don’t print if you don’t have to. Think before you print emails and when possible, ask for documents to be sent to you via email rather than by post. • If you have to print, print double sided. You can do this by setting duplex printing as the default on your printer. • Decrease the margin, footer and header and don’t use double line spacing. • Print directly onto envelopes rather than print labels. • Make notepads from paper that has only been printed ed on o one side. • Read newspapers online. • Recycle your print cartridges. • Turn off your computer monitors when you’re not using them and when you leave the ofÄce to go home. • Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

Flat plate collectors perform very well in warm sunny conditions, as the ambient temperatures are high, but summer is not when hot water requirements are the highest. During cold months when the ambient temperatures are low is when hot water demand is highest and it takes the most energy to heat the water, and so when solar gain is of most value – evacuated tubes greatly outperform at plates under such conditions due to the superior insulation properties. Wind therefore also has much less effect on evacuated tubes than on at plates.

Parissa of Diaspora Latina at Treehouse at Belongil on Thursday

This Saturday and Sunday, Australia’s leading jazz vocalist, the legendary Vince Jones performs at the Byron Bay Community Centre. Both performances will be recorded. Vince is the master of achieving brilliant, energetic yet carefully produced live albums. Vince, how do you prepare yourself for recording a live album? The main concern is the respect you have for each other. We’ve played together for many years and we communicate well on stage. You can’t buy empathy. Love has to be felt and heard by the listener. What does it mean to be a musician? Do you think commercialism has meant that it’s too easy to lose your way? Musicians have two choices, they can produce entertainment or they can make art. To me there is an obvious difference between entertainment and art. Entertainment is designed to distract people from the disapoinments of their daily life. TV fulfils this role brilliantly. Art, I believe, has a very different role in that it must carry within it ‘The moral Ideal’ – betterment of society, improvement of the human condition, peace etc. Secondly and most importantly it must ‘unite’ people. John Lennon knew the importance of uniting people through music – All you need is Love. My path is based on these two concepts as my mantra I have found that ‘commerciality’ falls into the entertainment bracket which is an area I have nothing to learn from and yes I would lose my way. Why won’t you let any of

your music be used for advertisements or corporate purposes? I dont believe music has any place in the selling of a product. If you aspire to being an artist then you will feel the uneasy alliance between your work and large amounts of money. A musician has been given a sacred gift and he or she needs to cherish this. If you need the money then by all means do whatever you must to survive. Picasso pointed out he would not paint for bread and milk. When I was younger and in a situation where I was unsure of what to do I would ask myself ‘would one of my heroes do that’? – Coltrane, Hendrix, Braque, etc – I would promptly conclude, no. You have an incredibly distinct voice – did the quality of your voice draw you to jazz, or was it a coincidence that you already posessed the instrument? My parents were jazz lovers – mainly the 40s period. I was introduced to Louis Armstrong, the greatest singer trumpet player ever, when I was old enough to hear. Sarah Vaughan, what a voice! It took me years to appreciate how good she was– my father loved her. My favourite was Billie Holiday, I loved the depth of her sound she sounded like she was pouring her heart out into every note. And I loved the way she would bend the notes it was like magic to a young man’s ears. Of all the jazz I’d heard, Miles Davis and his bands stood out as the most creative music of the era. I fell in love with soul music especially Marvin Gay, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway etc. I’d like to remind you that I was in my twenties when

E N T E R T A I N M E N T

THE INVINCEABLE MR JONES the great soul music was still being made. You could say that my voice is a cacophany of the music, musicians, politics, mentors and philosophers that I’ve been lucky enough to have been introduced to. What are the issues that you feel most passionate about? Where has love gone is the most important issue and how to bring it back.Yes she’s around but we need to assist her to the fore. Materialism has made me very scared for humanity’s future, don’t people realise that infinite projections

with finite resources doesn’t work? I think we have to accept the role as ‘elders’. We have to stimulate the young to ‘think’ and not believe. As Tolstoy said ‘Investigate everything: believe only in those things which exist in accordance with intellect.’ Do you have any gardening advice? (I read somewhere that you had quite an impressive setup.) I believe Ghandi said ‘if you don’t learn how to till the fruits of the soil, you will one day be begging at your neighbour’s door’. As Peter Cundall said ‘if

we all went out and made a garden and produced some food then there would be no more wars.’ I s’pose he meant we’d all be out in the garden and wouldn’t have time to hassle each other.

*T JU 4BGF I’ve spent the last week baby safeing the house. I am living in the world’s biggest play pen. I’ve got gates on the front door, gates on the back door, baby gates on the kids’ bedrooms, gates on the bathroom, gates on the gate. Just a simple visit to the toilet is like being a prison guard at Long Bay. You need clearance at every level. If you don’t have a strong pelvic floor, or if you’ve got a touch of giardia, you’re going to need a bucket.

Live Music Coorabell Marmalade It wouldn’t be unusual for most country halls to raise money with a bit of a jam stall. That’s what Coorabell Hall is doing this Saturday, except, their jam don’t come in no jar, it’s Wild Marmalade and you’ll find it filling the entire venue. Greg Sheehan, Avishai Barnatan and Amir join WM for a special middle Eastern dance party featuring upbeat dance grooves with traditional and original tunes, Hebrew and Arabic chants. 8pm $20.

Ivy is about to turn one and she’s not just mobile, she’s a tiny terrorist. I wouldn’t go as far as saying she’s a suicide bomber, but I have found some rather lethal looking explosives in her nappy. Baby safeing sucks. This week I’ve become a clutter buster. Anything nice has to go. But on the upside, baby safeing is the perfect excuse for garage saleing all those shit presents your family gives you for Christmas. I’ve managed to throw out 32 vases, ten placemat sets and the ugliest fruit bowl ever created. What amazes me is that some bargain hunting idiot will front up at 6am on a Saturday morning and voluntarily pay $5 for it. I can’t believe the crap people will buy if it’s at a garage sale. I once sold false teeth for $1. I have packed box after box and cleared out the kids’ rooms, removing sentiment like it was dust. Sentiment is an emotional film that settles on clutter, on torn and grubby children’s paintings that have been tacked to the noticeboard for three years,

on bean-filled, dog-mauled teddy bears given by a first boyfriend, on those handmade cards that say ‘World’s Best Mother’. Out they go. ‘That’s beautiful, darling – let’s keep it somewhere safe. Like the recycling bin.’ I’ve thrown out three guitars, two boxes of Lego, five Power Rangers, a pantless action man still wearing his hat and gun ready for active duty… I’ve chucked all my platform heels (garage saleing drag queens will score), my exercise clothing (why keep something you have no intention of using?), a crate of mismatched coffee mugs, a yoga mat (as new) and all those annoying Dalai Lama books of daily Buddhist wisdom. The only wisdom I need is ‘let go’, and sorry, Rinpoche, but you’re hitting the unwanted book box. Late last year I had a less brutal throwout and dumped my clothing and personal effects at Vinnies, assuming that, as urban myth has it, that all goods are trucked to large warehouses in Sydney and then distributed Australia

wide. You can imagine my surprise, strolling down for my morning coffee, when I discovered the headless mannequins in the charity window display all dressed up like Mandy Nolan. They wore signature Mandy Nolan tight polyester frocks, Mandy Nolan giant shoes and carried Mandy Nolan handbags. The only upsetting thing was that they all looked a lot better in it than Mandy Nolan. In the name of baby safety, (yes, I’m a co-sleeper, I only have the cot for show so other mothers won’t judge me) I’ve surrendered my bedframe, thrown my mattress on the floor. Who needs Botox? I feel 18 again. I haven’t slept on the floor since Uni. Only problem is my back belongs to a 42 year old woman with arthritis on her right sacral joint. I don’t so much get up now, as roll onto the floor and commando crawl down the hall. My house has been turned into a DOCS approved playroom. Mission Accomplished. Time to turn my attentions to the next baby safeing project: my teenage daughter.

Drink your Juice

release their long awaited second album Lucille. Being known for their blistering, brutally energetic live sets it seems fitting that The Vasco Era should mark such a momentous occasion with a national tour. Expect moments of rolling thunder, memories of standing on the corner with a suitcase in your hand; of Chelsea girls and sweet slow sliders and even the occasional moonlight sonata. But throughout it all beats the heart of a band not content to

take the easy route. Saturday at the Hotel Great Northern.

Bluejuice put good manners to the side when they play the Northern on Sunday. Their new single Ain’t Telling the Truth is a homage to their passion for telling short and curlies. The only thing truthful about the song is the title. The single follows on from the giant success of Broken Leg which picked up an ARIA nomination for Breakthrough Song of the Year’ and hit the number five slot on Triple J’s Hottest 100. These boys are seriously good. And I’m not fibbing.

The Phonies get Rool Like a runaway space train, The Phonies new album Get Go careers through a galaxy of garage pop and casio punk with a full cargo of jerky electric guitars and stomping drums. There is something a little Devo-esque about this bunch of primary colour wearing techno nerds, who perform your average cosmic robo rock anthem with

Carrolling at Treehouse From his view behind the bar of iconic Fortitude Valley venue The Troubadour, Timothy Carroll daydreamed and schemed, inspired by the constant stream of artists rousing his creative spirit. And when the lights were dimmed and the last of the rowdy drinkers were turned into the night, Timothy would head over to producer Jamie Trevaskis’ creaking old Queenslander, where the real work of telling tales would begin. In the wee candlelit hours, together with a hand-picked band of talented old world musicians, and a collection of vintage microphones and classic

elderly guitars, Timothy’s worldly folk soul and country compositions came to life. So if you like your folk loose and lyrical, and your country drunk and heartbroken, come see Timothy Carroll at Treehouse in Belongil this Sunday at 6pm.

Ghostly Folk Mullum Folk Club is set for another night of fabulous original music and is very excited to present Ghost Mountain as their feature act this month. The atmospheric alt rockers are about to release their latest full-length album Art Without Audience and this will be their only acoustic show before the official launch. Formed in the hills of Goonengerry in 2007, their alternative singer/songwriter sound is influenced by the likes of Neil Young, Heartless Bastards and Wilco. The band writes and produces lamenting tales that examine the wondrous amongst the mundane while staggering down the road of continual forks and bends. Elegant lyricism tempered with almost baroque-like arrangements court snarling guitars and soaring keys. Vocal duets between Sal and Christian’s arrestingly matched voices cement their unique sound. Chalkboard spots will be up for grabs from 7pm, so come along and throw your name in the hat. Old Drill Hall, Mullumbimby Wednesday April 28, doors open 7.15pm, show starts 7.30pm, entry $5, tea, coffee and cakes available.

CinemaReviews Kick Ass I couldn’t figure where I’d seen him before. Then it came to me – Aaron Johnson, the eponymous super hero of this fantastic film, is the actor who played the young John Lennon in Nowhere Boy. As geeky teenager Dave Lizewski, he spends a lot of time on the net, reads Marvel comics and hangs with a couple of other virgin fanboys whose conversations run along the lines of â€˜â€Ś and what’s the thing with Paris Hilton anyway? She’s got, like, no tits!’ Pardon my low brow, but I’m still chortling at that. Confounded by the question of why hero worshipers do not actively emulate those whose deeds they praise, he purchases by mail-order a green, yellow striped wet-suit and takes on the persona of Kick Ass. His initial foray into the world of crime fighting lands him in hospital after one of the villains he’s taken on stabs him in the belly. It’s an early turning point at

kick ass

which you realize that director Matthew Vaughn is heading into much darker territory than what is suggested by the goofy trailers. It’s also the first indicator of why an MA rating has been applied to it – don’t take your kids, for there is some truly shocking violence being poked in our faces as Vaughn says to his audience ‘you like this stuff, don’t you. All you gimps who love Tarantino so much, you think it’s cool, don’t you.’ Pretty soon it doesn’t seem so cool and you stop laughing and start caring for the well-being of naĂŻve Dave. Viral networking makes a celebrity of Kick Ass and, without trying, he becomes a thorn in the side of Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong), the ruthless Mister Big. Johnson is immensely likeable and credible in the part, as is Strong, but as good as they are, the movie is stolen by Chloe Moretz’s Hit Girl. The eight year old daughter of unhinged Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage, perfectly

parade of Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest line in retro grunge. If she doesn’t offer herself to the captive Denzel her blind mother – yes, blind! – will be bashed up, but Denzel (like Spartacus), without a leg-over in thirty years, declines. That’s the type of messianic guy he is. But why go on. I have no idea what visionary truth was intended to be unveiled, all I saw was a B-grade, high camp Gothic western that should have been set in 1870s Texas, and it’s rotten to the core. ~ John Campbell Green Zone Green Zone is part political thriller and part action movie; it’s a war movie that will appeal to thinking audiences and to those who appreciate a rush of adrenaline. Although this work is fiction, it is inspired by the work of a real-life journalist who covered the events surrounding the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the botched information about

book of eli

weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) there. Set in Baghdad during the first part of the occupation, the movie, more than anything, depicts the discovery of conspiracy in the events that transpired. Matt Damon plays Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller, he’s trying to do his job, but every time he is dispatched to a site to secure it, he discovers nothing dangerous there. Miller begins to question the intelligence sources that are sending his men on these missions. Miller seems to uncover corruption and betrayal everywhere he goes. Nearly every scene is a tense one – you never know who is telling the truth nor whether an alley will lead to a shooting or an ally with more information. Directed by Paul Greengrass, who also directed The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, this is well-paced action that’s pleasing both to the pulse and the brain. ~ Lounge Cinema

The Home of Quality Cinema cast), a discharged copper seeking revenge on D’Amico and those who fitted him up for a crime he did not commit, Hit Girl, under a purple bob, emits an unspeakable sexuality which is as confronting as the mayhem she unleashes – a child chopping off a bloke’s leg is, if not plain wrong, as kinky as it gets, and Hit Girl displays adorable sangfroid in doing it. Englishman Vaughn has previously worked with Guy Ritchie and the stylistic connection (think ‘Rock’n’Rolla’) is evident throughout a satire that is subversive, funny and loaded with discomfiting social comment. ~ John Campbell The Book Of Eli It would be dishonest of me to pretend that I saw this through to the end ‌ or, as Billy McMahon once said of the National Party, you’ve got to draw the line somewhere.

still, not in the least interested in what the outcome might be. So I bailed for the first time since The Producers (2005). I’ll concede that it’s nowhere near as bad as that shocker (could anything be?), and that I have seen worse in the interim, but its grubby pretension, bogus gravitas and clichÊd characters really did get up my nose. How easy it is to be horribly wrong when deciding what we think we will like when going to the cinema (the industry banks on us as creatures of habit – what industry doesn’t?). No way did I anticipate Kick Ass being smarter and superior in every way to The Book Of Eli, a clinically executed production which commits art’s most bumptious crime of high but hollow self-importance – I mean, the titles alone should be enough to pre-determine the movies’ intelligence quotient, shouldn’t they? And does not the involvement of Denzel Washington and Michael Gambon ensure quality? (Gary Oldman’s name in the cast admittedly gave cause for alarm.) It’s another post-apocalypse scenario (T. S. Eliot’s whimper is out of vogue as current filmmakers opt for the bang), but it can’t hold a candle to The Road. Eli (Washington) is on his own, on foot heading west. In the blink of an eye, he’s shot a starving stray cat with his bow and arrow (bastard!) and sliced and diced five cannibal bikie rapists with his shiny machete (he wields it as Shintaro did his Samurai sword). Arriving at Dodge City (or something like it), run by a murderous tyrant (Oldham), he meets a beautiful white girl with perfect skin and even perfecter teeth who has directly lobbed from a Paris

After an 18 year career in an industry not known for its longevity, this middle aged maestro of mirth and merriment has just about seen and done it all. From topic specific sportsman’s luncheons to poorly paid comedy clubs, from the tasteful tone of black tie society to the rough and tumble of troops on active duty, Fred has spoken and the crowds have laughed. Having led what he views as an interesting life, Fred draws his material from those very experiences, whether it’s in his interest in immigration (both his parents escaped from Eastern Europe after WWII) or his belief that youth gets it way too easy nowadays (he has no children, automatically making him an authority). Fred’s comedy is and always will be pertinent, insightful, clever and funny. Story teller, comedian, raconteur, this ex butcher turned funny man is one hysterical bloke. Fred Lang is joined by Ellen Briggs the quiet relaxed Mullumbimby mother of twins who is as at home on ride-on mower as she is a 1000 seater stage. Ellen

Television Guide 1. Boyd and Foley are on the job in Waking The Dead (ABC1, Friday, 8.30pm), a superior police procedural series in which cold murder cases are, um, revived. 2. Jamie Bell is the strange young investigator in Hallam Foe (SBS1, Saturday, 10pm), which boasts more Freudian twists than a Byron weekend workshop. 3. Despite the proximity of Kate Beckinsale and black leather, and the amused presence of Bill Nighy as the ubervampire, Underworld (NBN, Sunday, 10.30pm) fails to cut it in the pointy teeth genre, and the high budget franchise becomes more pitiful as it goes along. One turns, as always, to Count Yorga, Vampire, for solace.

ARIES: Retrograde Saturn in your partnership zone wants you tidying up any murky personal quirks so you can receive the cosmic goodies awaiting Aries who undergo the hard yards of self examination and change. This week’s mixed messages, misunderstandings and general misadventures offer plenty to work with. TAURUS: In the present retrograde climate activities starting with re apply: reflecting, reassessing, reevaluating, rethinking, researching, repairing, resolving, releasing and restructuring… whew! Fortunately the Sun also joins Venus and Mercury in Taurus for plenty of rewarding indulgences in life’s lusty and gustatorial enjoyments. GEMINI: This week’s mixed blessings have Jupiter and Chiron both percolating away in your success sector, while retrograde Mercury and Saturn unsettle family affairs, partnerships and group dynamics. Be extra careful with confidences – it’s one of the year’s worst weeks for indiscreet speech. The top seeds dominated last week’s Sydney International Open – with one remarkable exception. Grandmasters Dejan Bojkov and Gawain Jones tied for first place alongside Australia’s number one, GM Zhao Zong Yuan, in a field of 130 which included 10 Grandmasters. However it was a softly-spoken youngster from Singapore, turned 15 only last month, who turned the most heads. Daniel Fernandez (pictured below) crossed pawns with the elite at the Sydney International and emerged almost unscathed. Against four Grandmaster opponents, Fernandez lost only a single game, to third seed Vladimir Malaniuk, and beat two International Masters, including

32 April 20, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

LEO: Mercury certainly challenges you to maintain your playfulness in the face of this week’s black hole of delayed travel plans, traffic gridlocks, malfunctioning appliances, misalignments and misrepresentation. Never mind, late week Leo moon boosts your ability to see the funny side of budget cuts…

SCORPIO: Resist either/or, black/ white, wrong or right thinking this week. Stay open to an attitude adjustment. Be understanding rather than demanding – a stubborn stance only breeds difficulties you don’t need. Nourish your relationships – personal, professional, general and particular. And let them nurture you in return.

VIRGO: This week’s tug of war is between free expression and verbal restraint so speak your mind but keep it kind, without being attached to finding instant solutions. Plenty of planetary energy in the sign of sensible sensualists means generous helpings of earthly pleasures on your personal menu.

SAGITTARIUS: Arguments, unwelcome news, unstable finances, road rage, red tape and you know what? This week’s are all contrived to teach you patience. As if, you’re thinking… but if you think this week’s frustrations are Divine Designer lessons in navigating impatience, that’s how they’ll work.

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7-10pm Australia’s new star George Xie. After nine tough rounds, Fernandez found himself only half a point short of both first place and his first Grandmaster ‘norm’. That half point was lost in the penultimate round when Fernandez took on the top seed, Li Chao, outplayed the Chinese GM, but then missed a series of winning ideas and eventually agreed to a draw in a position where victory was still possible. Fernandez nonetheless emerged from the event with an International Master result – his second, the first having been achieved at the 2009 SIO – plenty of world ranking points and a share of fourth prize. Fernandez’s outstanding result already justifies the Singapore Chess Federation’s decision to select the teenager in their 2010 Olympic team, a youth oriented team containing only one player born before 1990. Australian Olympic selectors, on the other hand, have much to ponder after the international opens in Canberra and Sydney this month. GM Darryl Johansen’s poor form

is worrying, though his modest result in Sydney can partly be explained by shock at having lost his first round game to an illegal move by his opponent. Johansen described the incident, where both the Grandmaster and his 13-year-old opponent overlooked that a knight had travelled diagonally as ‘the most embarrassing thing that has happened to me since I was 14.’ Stephen Solomon took full advantage of Johansen’s missteps with two solid performances, while another main Olympic candidate, Alex Wohl – a stellar performer in 2009 – was doing his best to rule himself out of contention with a woeful result in the Kuala Lumpur Open. Notably, Johansen, Solomon and Wohl are all over 45 but it seems that none of Australia’s teenage rising stars performed consistently enough in Canberra and Sydney to displace the veterans at the Chess Olympics in Siberia in September. Sydney’s 17-year-old Max Illingworth looked to be heading for an International Master result at the SIO until he ran into Indian GM Magesh

CAPRICORN: Capricorns always feel they’re in charge – retrogrades are when they know they’re not. This week areas of stability and consistency could become unstuck and unstable. You might even question whether that mountain you’re climbing is worth the effort – or should you be doing something else? AQUARIUS: Mercury retrogrades are three week periods of time out designed for introspection, catching-up, maintenance and recuperation. Sound tedious? Not at all – especially since this one challenges you to get real about something you’ve only been playing round with up till now. PISCES: As practicality takes precedence over fantasy, this no-nonsense week wants you seeing things as they really are rather than your preferred version of reality – especially with healing planet Chiron in Pisces finding more efficient ways to use your time, energy, talents and resources. Panchanathan in the last round game given below. Parramatta SIO 2010 White: M Panchanathan Black: M Illingworth Opening: Hippopotamus 1.Nf3 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.e4 d6 4.Nc3 a6 5.a4 b6 6.Bc4 e6 7.h4 h6 8.Ne2 Ne7 9.Be3 Nd7 10.Ng3 Bb7 11.Bd3 Nf6 As usual in the Hippo, Black’s flexible structure gives him plenty of choice – and plenty of chances to go astray. Here 11...c5 looks more precise. 12.c3 Qd7 13.Qe2 0-0?! Now Black’s king is a sitting duck. 14.h5!

Fig Tree Restaurant According to treehugger.com on April 14, in San Francisco they are serving wine from kegs on tap, eliminating the bottle altogether. Janny Hu of the San Francisco Chronicle spoke to some restaurateurs who think this is the future: ‘You’re going to see this explode,’ says (restaurant owner Doug} Washington, who also co-owns San Francisco’s Town Hall and Anchor & Hope. ‘It’s the most PC thing you could possibly ever imagine. If you took your car at 1am and drove around the back alleys behind every restaurant, you’d see huge recycling cans overflowing with empty wine bottles. ‘Some were wines that were served at the table, but a huge majority of guests never even saw that bottle. It went behind the bar and was poured into glasses. This expensive bottle, everything about it was a waste, a complete and utter waste. ‘They are not serving plonk, but good local wines. It cuts costs by ten per cent to 25 per cent and they can sell it by the ounce. The wine stays good because they pump in nitrogen. ‘The next step is to sell it to people who bring their own bottles, like they do in France

34 April 20, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

and Italy. It is a cheaper, greener and fresher alternative to bottled wines.’ Among the barriers to re-using bottles, according to Ruben Anderson on TheTyee.ca in 2008: ‘The problem for North American wineries, not shared by breweries or Europeans, is that they can’t get their labels to stick. Old-fashioned glue works just fine for everybody else… but might allow the label to come off in the ice bucket. Heaven forbid you get halfway through the bottle and plumb forget what you are drinking! So, now wineries use super-sticky labels to pander to the pompous jackasses more concerned with showing off the label than getting a buzz on. That makes removal almost impossible and reuse that much more difficult. ‘Mark my words, the first North American winery to start marketing mismatched, reused bottles is going to turn a lot of heads. Imagine a case of pinot noir in stubby Chianti flasks, narrow Alsace bottles, perhaps a flattened Bocksbeutel. What chaos! What excitement!’ Sounds like a good challenge for Australian wineries, faced with a wine glut and falling prices.

CafĂŠs have become so firmly entrenched in our culture that it is hard to imagine society more than 25 years ago without them. And not just the physical fact of cafĂŠs either – it is also the accompanying lifestyle. Indeed there existed establishments where people, mostly women, would meet, but they were called coffee shops or coffee lounges then, and were of an entirely different order altogether. Coffee houses date back to 16th century Turkey, traditionally social hubs as well as artistic and intellectual centres. I remember cafĂŠs in Vienna, visiting in the 80s, a woman alone quite dazzled by beautiful salons with suspended chandeliers and expensive women wrapped in furs who murmured to each other over coffee and whipped cream. Gradually in our new country we seem to be evolving our own peculiar, particular type of cafĂŠ, distinct from European ones though bearing elements of them. Simon Garner in his book The London CafĂŠ Book defines the modern cafĂŠ thus: ‘A cafĂŠ should be a place where conversation is fuelled by caffeine and not by alcohol. It should be a place where you do not have to eat but where you can if you want to and, if you do, you should be able to get a reasonably priced, onestop meal. It should be a place

where you can go on your own and not feel awkward. It should be a place where it is perfectly acceptable to linger over a paperback or a newspaper‌ There is one other factor that sets cafĂŠs apart from bistros, bars and brasseries and that factor is cake. If you can order coffee and cake, a place is a cafÊ‌’ But cafĂŠs, I am lately musing, are even more. It seems that most people who frequent cafĂŠs tend to confine themselves to a particular one, or several specific ones according to time of day, or weather, or mood. It may be a case of the human need for the soothing qualities of repetition and ritual – but what it is also capable of doing is creating a sort of private club within the cafe, a clique in which regulars betray, consciously or otherwise, a sense of entitlement and ownership. I know this because occasionally I am obliged to go to a cafĂŠ not my regular (I nearly said ‘my own’) and upon entering it I am aware of feeling a little like an interloper. All around me are staff and customers on first-name terms engaged in comfortable banter, as I stand stiffly, meekly, even a little pathetically at the till to present my order. At ‘my’ cafĂŠs I love the fact I only need say to the waitress ‘just my usual’ and it will immediately

ChĂŠ Bon Breakfast Wed-Sun 8am Dinner Wed-Sat 6pm Sunday Lunch 12pm The Old Church Tintenbar 6687 8221

materialise, regardless of how busy the cafĂŠ may be. I try not to resent the fact ‘my’ usual seat is occasionally taken or the daily newspapers are being leafed through by some blow-in; I am conscious of how ridiculously petty all this is but am unable to prevent my proprietary impulse. CafĂŠs are microcosms. In some the music is so loud you wonder how the experience for the customers can be restful or relaxing. On the other hand, some of my favourite CDs have been acquired as a result of a single track heard in a cafĂŠ – where a confluence of mood, fragrantly grinding coffee and glorious sounds has suddenly rendered less substantial the prospect of life without that music. (On the other hand I do own possibly more CafĂŠ del Mars and Buddha Bars than is necessary‌) Sometimes I think it would be lovely for ‘my’ cafĂŠ or cafĂŠs to reward the loyalty of my patronage with an occasional free coffee until I remember that loyalty is not the issue: I come to this cafĂŠ for its consistently good coffee, the warmth of its service and the fact that I can be on my own ‘and not feel awkward’. Your favourite cafĂŠ could almost be an extension of your social orb, a table in a space in which to briefly suspend your busy life, all for the price of a coffee.

Where else can you get a kilo of fresh organic Tasmanian mussels, hand-cut fries, a salad and dessert all for $29? All prepared by a French chef fresh off the boat from Lyon whose daughter’s head was touched by Paul Bocuse. Where do you get it? Only at Che Bon – every Wednesday. www.chebonrestaurant.com

FNCFCA’s first outing

Crankin’ what’s happening in the surf

Lismore’s John Welch had a great catch during the Far North Coast Fishing Clubs Association’s first outing on the weekend. John returnd to the weigh-in with a brace of Spaniards to 13kg.

Story and Photo Video Pete

The first of three Far North Coast Fishing Clubs Association (FNCFCA), competitions for 2010 was held last Saturday and Sunday. A solid swell and a low tide

before dark forced many anglers to seek spots in the lee of headlands where conditions were not as severe. The Belongil area produced fair numbers of medium tailor and bream, while mixed bags came from areas adjacent to the rocks. A highlight of the competition was Lismore’s John Welch’s catch of two magnificent narrow barred Spanish Mackerel to 13kg from the rocks, proving once again that now is the time for land based game fishing, which can provide heart stopping action on mackerel, longtail tuna and the like. Another highlight was the 3.83kg greenback tailor caught by Liam Veselis, the youngest competitor from the Byron Bay Club. After the first round – round two and three are in June and August respectively – the Lismore number one team leads narrowly from the Byron Bay number one team. Leading competitor is Hoss McGrath from Byron Bay with approximately 300 points. A FNC meeting will be held at the Byron Services Club this Wednesday April 21 at 7.30pm and the Byron Club’s monthly meeting is on Thursday 22 at the same venue and time. Good fishing, Video Pete.

Numbers down but not out

The Brunz Bulldogs under 12s with a little help from their friends in the under 10s, show that the team still has plenty of bark with their bite in the AFL Northern Rivers Juniors league

Enthusiasm ran high even though the number of players and goals were low when the Brunswick Bulldogs took on Byron Bay Magpies in the first round of the AFL Northern Rivers season at the Stan Thompson Oval in Brunswick Heads on Sunday. The Dogs joined the then Far North Coast Junior AFL League in 2001, a year after the league was formed and they have had a good run, but this year the teams, especially the under 12s, are struggling for numbers. During the match, the un-

der 12 boys enlisted the help of some of their mates in the under tens and were generously given a few of the Magpies players on loan for the day – a chivalrous deed by the young lads – on ya Maggies. After a first quarter trouncing the Dogs could have given up, but in the true spirit of good sportsmanship, the boys pulled up their socks and reentered the paddock to play out the match in good form and with great attitudes. Such a great team is too good to lose so in an effort to stimulate numbers, organisers have

scheduled all Bulldogs games to be played at home in Brunswick Heads at the Stan Thompson Oval behind the new skate board park. Matches will be played on Sundays at 10.30am. Training for both the teams is on Tuesday afternoons from 4-5pm at the grounds. Any girls who would like to play in the team are very welcome to come along and join in and parents are encouraged to get involved. For more information on how you can become a Bruns Bulldog player, contact Des on 0434 416 918.

Junior lifesavers learn leadership skills The Far North Coast Branch Newcastle Permanent U15 to U17 Leadership Development Camp was held over the weekend at the Fingal Rovers Surf Life Saving Club. Members from 23 Surf Life Saving clubs of the Far North Coast participated in the camp, including Yamba, Ballina Lighthouse and Lismore, Lennox Head Alstonville, Byron Bay, Brunswick, Cabarita Beach, Cudgen Headland and Fingal Rovers. Their active participation in this camp will develop valuable life skills such as leadership, goal setting and team building along with learning about their future within Surf Lifesaving. These members include; Billie Star, Alice Rickard, Hayden Kydd, Jacob Richter from Fingal Rovers SLSC, Kaitlin Smith from Cudgen SLSC, Brett Draman, Tegan Quinn and Jodie Cantrill from Cabarita SLSC, Max McRae, Meika Quinn and Talen Pinxteren from Brunswick SLSC, Brendan Irwin, Zoe Heiniger and Gabrielle Callan from Byron Bay SLSC, Madison Blue Beckerlog, Lachlan Jones and Justine Laverty from Lennox Head Alstonville SLSC, Rhyse Balkin, Stuart Wright, Nicholas Patton and Phillip Leadbeatter from Ballina Lighthouse SLSC and Dylan Brown and Zac Robison from Yamba SLSC. The surf club members main aim is to develop their personal and Lifesaving skills at the two

Byron lads revisit Vikings Pacific Futsal Titles

Coming third in their division, players from the local Futsal team included Goonellabah’s Paddy Kable and Byron boys Toby Barton, Nat Caldwell and Zeb Branton.

While many teens enjoyed a break during the school holidays, a team of local boys went to defend their championship title at the Vikings Pacific Futsal Titles held at several different venues on the Gold Coast over the Easter weekend. The competition attracted Futsal players from around Australia and the Pacific. www.echo.net.au

Local Byron Boys Toby Barton, Zeb Branton and Nat Caldwell were joined by team captain, Max Harlem from Eureka, co-captain Patrick Kable from Goonellabah, Joel Clare from Grafton and Brock Anderson from Tweed as they headed north for the tournament weekend. Thirteen teams entered the

under 15 boys division. The local team having only played two games together in the past year, went in as a united front, noted for their sportsmanship and skill. At only 13 years, Brock Anderson played up in years for Byron and was a brick wall defender that no one could get around. Max Harlem scored

a massive 19 goals and Paddy Kable scored 15 out of the 56 goals scored by the team for the tournament. Joel Clare and Zeb Branton scored their fair share of goals and were multi talented on the court. Toby Barton was fast on his feet and read the play of the game well not only scoring but setting up the goals and keeper Nat Caldwell deflected and saved an amazing 175 attempts at goal, only conceding 26 goals for the entire weekend. After two days of constant games, the boys only lost one game, by one goal to Pine Rivers. This saw the team head into the the semis which were played on the third day of the comp. The boys rallied their strength after daily travelling to the Runaway Bay Super Sports Centre and in a tight game against South West Brisbane, they played goal for goal until the last minutes of each half. The final score was 6-4 to South West Brisbane, placing the local lads third in their division. Not to be deterred, the boys are determined to go at it again in the up and coming Viking National Schools Titles to be held on the Gold Coast later this year.

day camp while participating in a number of fun activities that included an Obstacle Course, an ‘Amazing Race’ style activity that allows team building and a high level of interpersonal skill building. Diving and snorkelling at Cook Island off Fingal Beach was also undertaken and was a highlight of the leadership weekend. Other more specific activities that focused on teamwork, communication and leadership included Laser Skirmish as a group activity. ‘The Leadership Development program is focused on retaining these members long after they have left the junior ranks,’ said Paul Smith, Far North Coast Branch Director of Member Services. ‘One of our main goals is for them to have fun as well as make lots of new friends. It also is aimed to give them some guidance as to what they can do in Surf Lifesaving after the junior years and the pathways they can take. ‘They really enjoyed the experience of the leadership camp and have formed some really strong friendships and support networks. They learnt some valuable life skills which they will use as future leaders in surf lifesaving as well as in their future careers’. The facilitators for the camp, who participated in all activites, had a high level of Surf Life Saving and work experiences that they could impart onto the camp participants,. These included Robyn Wonson, Michael Gibbs, Paul Smith, Third quarter

Property hunting brings on the stress Australia’s obsession with property hunting is stressing out the nation and impacting our relationships with loved ones, according to new research by Australian property portal, realestate.com.au. The nationwide survey of

inside:

Properties in focus pages 55

over 1,000 adults revealed 84 per cent of prospective buyers believe looking for property is more stressful than visiting the end of year Boxing Day sales. The findings reveal threequarters (74 per cent) of Australians find inspecting properties stressful, with New South Wales property hunters coming in as the most stressed out state in the country and South Australians the most relaxed. Unsurprisingly, this added stress is having an adverse effect on wellbeing, with 62 per cent of New South

Wales property hunters saying they have become so distressed by the property search that they have fought about it with their loved ones. Clinical psychologist and relationship expert Dr Timothy Sharp, also known as Dr Happy, says the findings come as no surprise to him. ‘Many people underestimate the effect big decisions, such as buying or renting a property, have on our state of being and how happy we are day-to-day,’ said Dr Sharp. ‘The key is to reduce the stress associated with the process. In doing so, we not only make better decisions but we bring the fun back to house hunting.’

Despite finding the search for their dream home stressful, it seems Aussies are addicted to the hunt. Ninety two per cent of property seekers spend over one full day per month (up to 25 hours) researching potential homes online. The research also revealed that 86 per cent of respondents believed using online property websites like realestate. com.au could help ease the pressure felt when house hunting.

Business is on a high, says PRD Business Directory page 59

Open Houses, Auctions & New Listings page 59

An economic and property snapshot produced by PRD-nationwide reveals a healthy property market, increased business confidence, and continued population growth.

Figures published in PRDnationwide’s Quarterly Economic & Property Report show business confidence has hit a sixteen year high and commodities increased 1.9 per cent. Report author Aaron Maskrey, said during March 2010, consumer sentiment increased in Queensland (10%), South Australia (2.6%) and New South Wales (0.3%), but fell in Victoria (6.1%) and Western Australia (1.7%). ‘The successive rises in the cash rate has lead consumers to act conservatively – consumers are now more likely to use savings to reduce their debt, rather than to spend,’ he said. The PRDnationwide research director said the report showed numbers of new dwellings increased in the fourth

quarter by 13.8% - or 5096 new homes across Australia. ‘Commencements have been increasing since the March 2009 quarter, which brings a much needed boost to the property industry,’ said Mr Maskrey. ‘However early figures coming through from the ABS for January have building approvals softening for the first time in five months. Possibly a result of the Federal stimulus package being wound back at the end of 2009.’ The median house price in Australia climbed on average by 12.76% - the highest level in 2009.Darwin has once again recorded the biggest increase of 19.7 per cent while Melbourne prices rose 19.3 per cent.

‘Price growth will continue in the Victorian capital, with properties located within 10-15 kilometres likely to be the best prospects for growth,’ said Mr Maskrey. Figures show business confidence of 17.7 index points has not been this high since the end of 1994. ‘This is a dramatic increase from the previous year when sentiment was at one of its all time lows of -30.5 index points,’ said Mr Maskrey. Mr Maskrey predicts the cash rate will continue to climb to 5 per cent by the end of 2010. ‘With household wealth recovered to almost boomtime highs, almost all analysts are in agreement that the RBA will continue to raise the cash rate,’ he said.

Intown home and office This excellent 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with spacious open plan living areas was designed with aspect and crossflow in mind. A large entertaining patio nestles into the peaceful backyard. The second lounge, 3 bedrooms and bathroom are all on one side of the house allowing for stress-free family living. The gas kitchen is perfect for those who love to cook with plenty of room to move. A large office/5th bedroom, storage, carparking for 4/5 cars and generous 450L solar hot water system round out this excellent investment. The 810m² property borders reserve and is only minutes from Byron CBD and a very short walk from beach, high school, rugby oval and golf. The property is currently rented at $650pw. Looking for offers over $735,000. For info call Sue on 0416 275 111.

Backlash Bangalow disabled surfer Mike Burless lost his prosthetic surfing leg while surfing off Watego’s beach on Tuesday April 6. ‘Despite our searching for it with mask and snorkel the next day it still couldn’t be found and I am hoping it has or will wash up and one of your readers will find it,’ says Mike. If you can solve the mystery of the missing leg, give Mike a call on 6687 2488. Q Q Q Q

The eyes have it: ‘A group of Byron individuals are putting together a book of humans’ eyes that encapsulate the spiritual diversity of the Byron community. All eyes are of interest – if in doubt send them, because we don’t know what we want till we see the eyes. Individual’s identity withheld. Eyes must be living in the area. Book published in September. Email: byronmindsThis cartoon (and computer wallpaper) comes from the Sydney Anglicans newspaper the eye@gmail.com.’ Intriguing. Q Q Q Q

A motorist reports: ‘We’ve ruined two wheels in the past two weeks on the potholes around Mullumbimby [photos supplied], costing us hundreds of dollars to replace the tyres. Thank god we had a spare set of wheels or we’d be up to nearly $1,000 on new rims + tyres. Also sent a request to Council to fix Tunnel Road (Coolamon Scenic Drive) via their website, but who knows if they will even respond.’ Join the queue.
