Record numbers for Big Swim

Another fantastic Ocean Swim Classic was fought and won on the weekend as over 2,000 swimmers took to the waters of Byron Bay. Starting over an hour after the first swimmers entered the water at Watego’s, the elite Superfish made their big splash a trifling 19 minutes and 38 seconds before ultimate winner Ky Hurst crossed the finish line at Main Beach. The first female and fourth overall Melissa Gorman ran up the beach a mere seven seconds after Ky to claim her fifth Classic title, which is a record. In total the 2.2 kilometre swim was

completed by 1,954 swimmers and the Mini Swim saw 357 leave the sands of Clarkes Beach. Race conditions were as close to perfect as you can get. There was a bit of sea for racers to get over at the start but the swell on the incoming tide meant that there was a helping push from behind, probably accounting for the great swim times. The Byron Bay SLSC pulled a few out of the drink at The Pass, which is usual for the event, but there were no reports of stingrays, stingers or sharks and everybody was glad to be in the water and part of the event. With over almost 200 participants up on last year, record numbers

have proven again that this is one of the most popular ocean swims on the calendar. Organiser Syl Reid was one happy man after the event. ‘It’s gratifying to see more people enter the swim every year,’ he said. ‘Having the Mini Swim for the “nervous and the novice� has meant that a lot of people can come along and have a go in the race without the pressure of a big swim. What is really amazing is that the more people we have in the swim, the better the run seems to be. You wouldn’t think it would work that way but it does.’ The oldest competitor Billy Ringland, whose age remains a secret

(he swam in the over 80 division), made the 2.2km in 55:43 and one of the youngest swimmers, Elijah Winnington, was first home in the nine years division and seventh overall for the Mini Swim, a great effort for a junior athlete. The Classic has again been a winner for community groups with the Winter Whales coffers ready to flow. ‘We expect that we have raised the most money yet,’ said Syl. ‘We anticipate that we will have well over $60,000 to give to charity.’ For more race results visit www. multisportaustralia.com.au and follow the links to the Byron Bay Ocean Swim.

Bruns ducks and paddlers raise funds Interest is gathering for the inaugural Mullum to Bruns Paddle fundraiser on Sunday May 30.

Bruns hosts Mothers Day Classic Story & photo Eve Jeffery

For more than a decade, women and families all over the country have joined the Mothers Day Classic fun run and walk as a great way to celebrate Mothers Day and raise funds for breast cancer research. The initiative was inspired by the knowledge that research is gradually improving the survival rate of the one in nine women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85. All proceeds from the Mothers Day Classic are donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a not for profit organisation that promotes and supports research into breast cancer prevention and treatment. Since 1998 the Mothers Day Classic has raised $5.7 million. Next Sunday will see Brunswick Heads host the inaugural event for Byron Shire. Local organiser Nicole McAuley is excited about the Bruns walk and run and is looking forward to seeing lots of mums and kids and dads at the Classic. ‘As a keen runner, I have previously participated in the Brisbane event and really enjoyed it,’ says Nicole. ‘I now love living in the Brunswick community and thought it was a fantastic way to bring families, friends and the commu-

nity together and support local community. Curing breast cancer is a cause worth raising awareness of and funds for. The event also lets us celebrate life and how lucky we are to be able to enjoy it.’ The Brunswick Heads event offers a 4km walk. The Classic will kick off at 9am in Banner Park and travel along the riverside walkway to Lofts Oval then return to the park. On the day Mothers Day

Classic bags and Medallions will be handed out to participants while stocks last. For information and registration contact Nicole McAu-

ley at brunswickmdc@ymail. com or register on the day. More info about the event can be found at www.mothersdayclassic.com.au.

Celebrating harmony in Byron Bay Alex Lewers

Byron Bay is set to celebrate the region’s cultural diversity as part of this year’s Byron Harmony Day celebrations. With the theme ‘express yourself ’, the third annual Harmony Day event will be held on Saturday May 8 at the Byron Bay Community Centre and will be a celebration of Byron Shire’s multicultural community. Byron Harmony Team member Corinne Sinclair said the event started as a celebration of local talents who had converged at Byron Bay from around the globe and had continued to grow ever since. ‘We didn’t have many ethnic shows in the area and being the place of festivals I thought we needed something to celebrate the area’s multiculturalism,’ she said. With support from the local council, businesses and the hard work of volunteers Mr. Sinclair said that this year’s event would celebrate the Byron shire’s diverse range of cultures through ‘live music, food, dance and stalls from right around the world’. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said that Council’s funding of the event was recognition of

the importance of celebrating the area’s cultural diversity. ‘Harmony Day is a celebration of the vibrancy and richness of our community,’ she said. One of this year’s performers, local musician and Harmony Day volunteer Tarshito, said that celebrating Harmony Day was important because it pulled the culturally diverse community together. ‘I volunteer because it’s not a money making event and it is something that benefits the whole community.’

In a change to last year’s event, the celebration has moved from its old home at Railway Park to the Byron Community Centre in a bid to make it more an all weather event. ‘Last year our two main acts got rained on and we didn’t want to take that risk this year,’ Mrs Sinclair said. This year’s entertainment includes the Ruby Tuesday Choir, Gamelan Langen Sari, Christina Calero, Hari Bhakti, Belladonna Dance Troupe, Sangeet and Tarshito, African

Dance and Drumming with Cheze, Hula Hinis, Classical Indian Dance, Thai Dance, Japanese Shakuchachi Master Nakajima, Monsoon Winds, Koto and more. The Byron Harmony Day festival will start at 10am at the Byron Bay Community Centre with the Harmony Bazaar followed by the Harmony Concert from 2pm with a $5/$10 donation entry fee.

ADFAS looks at the arts and crafts of Mexico Carole Gamble

For our next meeting the local Australian Decorative Fine Arts Society will return to our usual ‘home’ at the A&I Hall, Station Street, Bangalow after a little excursion to Newrybar in April. Doors open from 6.30pm for light refreshments before our lecture at 7.30pm on Monday May 10. This month’s lecture title is ‘The Arts and Crafts of Mex-

ico, Past and Present’. Guest speaker is Chloe Sayer. Chloe is a freelance specialist in Latin American art and culture, a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute and has carried out fieldwork in Mexico for the BritishMuseum. She has worked on a number of television documentaries including Full Circle with Michael Palin and curated several exhibitions of Mexican folk art. The author of many books

on her speciality, she also lectures for galleries and museums in UK, Canada, Ireland and Mexico. Chloe will speak about textiles, ceramics and paintings from Aztec, Maya and Spanish traditions, providing a rich glimpse of this vibrant artistic endeavour from the past and present, much in use in daily life. Folk artists and their use of papier-machĂŠ , gigantic pottery, colourful yarn pictures

and bone carvings are all fascinating and Chloe’s talk will, as usual, be well illustrated. Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo and their colourful lives helped popularise Mexican art but there is so much more. Membership (due now) is $110 or join us as a guest for $20 and see for yourself how good it is. Enquiries to Dawn Lotty 6687 2442 or Terry Hand 6684 5084.

Opportunity for young writers to shine The Heading North short story competition for young writers returns in 2010, bigger and better than ever. Now in its third year, this competition is a significant opportunity for young writers in the region to gain recognition, snare a valuable prize, take part in a writers’ festival and add something of worth to their literary CV. The Heading North competition has prizemoney valued at $1,100. The eligible age range is 16 to 25 and it is open to all residents of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre catchment area, which is north to Tweed, south to Taree and west to Kyogle. The winner of this year’s competition will be announced at the 2010 Byron Bay Writers Festival and will take part in a live session at the Festival, joining a panel of the most dynamic young writers on the current literary landscape. This year’s competition will be judged by Daniel Ducrou, a young ex-Byron writer now based inMelbourne. Daniel’s first novel, The Byron Journals, is published by Text Publishing and will be launched at this year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival. The novel is based in Byron Bay and described as an extraordinary insight into the lives of young people who walk on the wild side.

Director to leave NRWC and Writers Festival director Jeni Caffin has announced that she is moving on from her role in 2010. ‘I offer my deepest thanks to the committee, my team and the community, both local and literary, who have supported my endeavours and given me so much joy,’ she said. I ‘look forward to working through August’s festival and the NRWC’s activities in coming months. At the beginning of October, I will set about chasing the travel bug which has bitten me comprehensively.’

MUST HAVE MOTHERS DAY TREATMENT

Author and competition judge Daniel Ducrou.

Formerly entitled Conditions of Return, this manuscript was shortlisted for the 2007 Australian/Vogel Literary Prize and the 2008 Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards for an Unpublished Manuscript. Before that, in its very early stages, the manuscript won Daniel a place in the NRWC Residential Mentorship program, where he was mentored by local author Marele Day. The competition aims to uncover developed short stories that demonstrate the writer’s individual voice and their potential to develop as a writer.

Organisers expect keen interest from senior secondary English students, tertiary students of creative writing and anyone within the age range who loves to write. The Heading North competition is presented by the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre and made possible by the generous sponsorship of ADFAS Byron and District and the Bangalow Lions. Application forms are available at the NRWC office or can be downloaded from www.nrwc. org.au. The closing date for entries is June 18.

Learning to live with epilepsy days to say whether it has been a success or not. However, I can report that I feel great – calmer, clearer and more focused. So that’s where I am at today and I wanted to share my story. To give some hope to any other teenagers out there battling to control their epilepsy. To encourage discussion and openness, to increase public awareness of this condition and the strategies on how to support someone during and after a seizure.

Jack Packshaw

On the evening of April 14, 1999, Sydney experienced a huge hail storm. People still remember that night and the incredible electrical activity and the storm damage caused to properties throughout the city. My family and I remember that night for a different reason. I was eight and a half years old and I was watching a movie at home curled up on the sofa with my sister and auntie. The next thing I remember is everyone standing around me, panicking. I had had my first epileptic seizure. I felt exhausted and scared. I was having trouble speaking and felt very strange and my family were all in shock. The paramedics arrived, tested my blood sugar levels and told us that it was probably just a ‘one-off ’ occurrence, perhaps to do with the extreme electrical storm. My parents put me to bed in their room, to keep an eye on me, and then at 4am, I had my second seizure. We then went straight to the hospital. The doctors commenced a range of tests and we were informed that I either had a brain tumour or epilepsy and we were all strangely relieved when I was diagnosed with generalised epilepsy. Here began a huge journey for my family and me. Learning to live with this totally unpredictable, scary thing. Adjusting to taking twice daily medications, missing school because I either was exhausted after having a seizure, or because I felt terrible nausea from my medication, more blood tests, another MRI or EEG and a specialist or alternative therapist. During the past eleven years I have experienced a myriad of different types of seizures or episodes. Full tonic clonic seizures, partial seizures, absences, recurring seizures every few minutes, flickering eyes and even a couple where I got stuck

in a partial seizure for hours. The impact of this on my life has been major. I have struggled against the stigma of my condition. My family have encouraged me to share with my friends because there were issues around my safety. School camps were a negotiation with the teachers and my Dad used to come too. If I had a seizure while staying over at a friends’ place, they needed to know not to freak out – although they usually did! As I became a teenager and enjoyed a little more freedom, I had to implement some basic safety strategies: wearing medic alert dog tags around my neck, carrying a card in my wallet and entering ICE into my mobile. Just over two years ago, with my seizures still uncontrolled, something showed up on an MRI scan that had my neurologist excited. He wanted to

explore it more and referred me to the Epilepsy Unit at Westmead Hospital. I spent a week in the unit undergoing telemetry and video monitoring with the amazing crew there. At the end of the week, the specialists there thought that they may be able to help me and that I might be a candidate for surgery. As I was only 17 at the time and studying for my HSC, my parents agreed that it would be better to wait until I has completed school and was also an adult and therefore able to give my consent to the operation. Three weeks in hospital, two operations and the possibility of finally gaining control – bring it on! It is now four weeks since my surgery, which involved removing a portion of my left lobe the size of a Redheads matchbox! I have had no seizures to date – not even an aura! It is early

Sad but true, three Congolese families arrived in the area in March with the understanding that white people don’t like Africans, highlighting the dire circumstances that brought them here. The small group of 13 were prepared to live in a country where they might not be accepted rather than a place where they would be oppressed and persecuted. To their delight, the Byron Shire has proven them wrong and they have been blown away by the love, support and the down-to-earth nature of the Mullumbimy community, which has embraced the new residents. Gill Lomath has been helping the largest of the three families establish themselves in the area. ‘They are simply delightful,’ says Gill. ‘It’s a real privilege to serve them and to help them adjust to life here. The response from the community has been extremely generous and loving. There have been many donations of all sorts of clothes, furniture, kitchen goods and other items.’ It is the children who are flourishing very quickly in

their new home. The four girls, Bellange, Belone, Benedict and Bellarmee settled into Mullumbimby Public School within a matter of days. The oldest child Jonathon has quickly become a welcome member of Mullum High and the two youngest, Badel and Nathan, have been spending some time at Cobbers Day Care. ‘The soccer club has been very helpful and the three eldest started playing last weekend and they all love school,’ says Gill. ‘They enjoy the freedom to play in the street, to ride their bikes and play with the neighbours.’ Tri-lingual, the new Mullumites speak French, Swahili and some English, though English is the third language. They are taking English classes and progressing at a rate of knots and with two medical and two law degrees between them, study is not something new. Gill says the response from the community with housing and household items has been inspiring. ‘Mullumbimby Transport moved our large family free,’ said Gill. ‘Tony Parker from LJ Hooker in Bruns was a huge help with paperwork

and early viewing of properties, landlord Jan Lang dropped the rent and is installing a new kitchen in the larger family’s house and Julie from Chincogan Real Estate is leaving no stone unturned to help us find a place for our other two families who are currently being housed with other generous locals Bev Clifford and Richard and Jenny Long. Ardee Moses had a family of eight living with her for a month until their Mullum house was ready. People have just gone so far out of their way to help.’ Gill says that the local education institutions have been great with fantastic support from both of the Mullumbimby public schools and Cobbers Day Care. She also says that the staff at the Meadows Medical Centre have been very helpful with health checks and other medical requirements. Though the families are gratefully awed by the generosity of the people in their new country, Gill says they still need a few things. ‘Computers are something they all feel they need along with internet facilities if they can afford that. Especially they feel the children need them

to keep up at school.’ If you feel you can help out with anything for the families, please phone Gill on 6684 6328. Speaking on behalf of his family, Bertin said that he is very thankful to the community for their support and when asked if he and his children had made many friends yet, he simply smiled and threw his arms open toward the entire street, ‘Everybody!’

has tossed it all away. And it has left him with precious little to fall back on. Rudd’s excuse that Tony Abbott also changed his mind on supporting the ETS and that the Libs welshed on the deal he had negotiated with Malcolm Turnbull is just not good enough. He, not Abbott, is supposed to be the saint, the man of the future, the one you could trust to do the right thing. Once again Rudd has

has been so keen to duchess; he has also provided Tony Abbott with an unanswerable line of attack. If Rudd believes in even half of what he has been saying for the last three years he should stick to his principles and call an election. If he won’t, it shows he has no principles to stick to. It was Groucho Marx who coined the immortal phrase: ‘These are my principles. If you don’t like them I have others.’

No one wanted or expected a revolution, but there was a general belief that Rudd would be serious about the contemporary issues. by Mungo MacCallum been pulled back into the pack as just another opportunistic politician. He is still a better and more popular one than Abbott, but the gap was undoubtedly narrowing. The idea that the climate change believers should persevere with him simply because he remains, marginally, the lesser of two evils is distinctly unappealing. In any case the defence simply does not stand up. The constitution is specifically designed to provide a way out of the deadlock: a double dissolution election followed by a joint sitting of both houses of parliament. This was the course triumphantly embraced by Gough Whitlam in 1974 when the polls showed him in a far shakier position than Rudd is in now. Whitlam decided to crash through or crash; Rudd has opted to capitulate and whimper. In the process he has not only devastated many of his core supporters and annoyed the business community he

The temptation to present Rudd with the appropriate spectacles, nose and moustache set could prove irresistible. And already the cartoonists have started to colour him yellow. This was the background against which the government released the Henry report and its response, and the reason why the latter was seen as less than overwhelming. With Rudd in full retreat on so many fronts, his tax measures were inevitably judged less by what was in them than by what wasn’t – how many of Henry’s recommendations had he squibbed? The answer, of course, was most of them, although there was a vague sort of commitment to continuous reform as and when circumstances allow. There is certainly plenty of material left for some enticing election promises, which we will see in the fullness of time. But while Rudd was reluctant to accept too many of Henry’s proposals immediately, he was

dead keen to reject a few of them on the spot. Thus there will be no means test on the family home, no universal land tax, no end to negative gearing, no return to indexing fuel excise, and no tax on alcohol by volume, which would have put up the price of draught beer. An increase in the GST had already been ruled out. These assurances were obviously felt necessary to prevent Abbott mounting a scare campaign about Rudd’s plans for a second term, But Abbott will simply point to Rudd’s broken 2007 promise about means testing the health insurance rebate as evidence that he is perfectly capable of doing the same next time around. And of course the mining companies have already embarked on a scare campaign of their own, implying that taxing their super profits will force them to pack up their Australian projects and take them elsewhere. This is crude and empty bluff; Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton are dragging untold squillions out of this country and the extra tax, which only applies to the most obscenely profitable of their ventures, is hardly a deterrent. And since it will be used for the indisputably worthwhile aims of increasing superannuation, reducing overall company tax and building infrastructure, the miners will gain no sympathy – except, of course, from Abbott, who is utterly opposed to any great big new tax except his own. By and large Rudd’s initial response to Henry qualifies both as good policy and good politics. But because it has come at a time when the government is perceived to be running scared, it will get less credit than it deserves. The taint of political cowardice is a hard one to shake.

The impact of draft LEP rezonings Landholders in Byron Shire need to be aware that what is being discussed in the letters by Cr Basil Cameron (Echo, April 20) , David Milledge (April 20), Dailan Pugh (April 27) and Robert Kooyman (April 27) is the intention of the Draft LEP to rezone 25 per cent of the land in the Shire into environmental zoning. Such zonings will limit landowners’ ability to carry out agricultural and other activities on their land. If you own land in the Shire look at the draft LEP to see what was intended for your land in the earlier draft, this has since been amended. To see the unamended draft of the LEP visit www.byron.nsw.gov.au/meetings/meeting/182. The new draft has not been released. I have checked the mapping for my land in the old draft and areas under cultivation are intended to be zoned E2 and E3, and this will either prohibit or limit agricultural production. The zoning is based on vegetation mapping. When I checked this I discovered that about 40 per cent of my property is mapped as rainforest. Included in this is open paddock, a shade house, a shed, horticultural plantations and areas that are 100 per cent lantana, very little of it might at a stretch be called rainforest. Therefore it is important for you if you own land in the Shire

a biodiversity conservation planner, I agree with the changes to the draft LEP put forward by Councillors Cameron and Morrisey. We see mention of the old growth forest, threatened communities and threatened species but I have yet to see a supporter of the previous draft LEP mention the even larger areas of kikuyu, paspalum, lantana and camphor laurel that were proposed to be given environmental protection zoning! The draft LEP espouses a concern for biodiversity conservation, a sustainable economy and accountability for costs and values. But neither the Biodiversity Strategy nor draft LEP nor supporters of this exercise mentions the cost of implementing this dream, or who is to pay that cost. Clearly the assumption is the landowners in 25 per cent of the shire will fund the hundreds of millions of dollars for rainforest reestablishment, not to mention the greater amounts

for ongoing management. The different perspectives readers are getting from conservationists contrasts two ideologies: the first supporting a culture of nurturing and learning from nature illustrated by people that live in the forested part of the shire who co-exist with and help to bolster the return of other native species that were decimated by early forest clearing. The alternative ideology as illustrated by the previous draft LEP maintains the nature/culture dualism by excluding people from substantial areas of often low biodiversity value. I suggest both perspectives are necessary depending upon whether forest is regrowth (the vast majority) and requires weeding, vine control or supplementary plantings, by contrast with ‘oldgrowth’ where interference would be inimical to its biodiversity values. Under the previous proposed rezoning, residents already supporting regrowth forest and who had their zoning changed to environmental protection where the rest of their land has no or minimal biodiversity value are lumbered with onerous costs, on top of the public good they already support, because they are faced with expensive additional revegetation. Yet funding bodies can and do assess land with an environmental protection zone

as a lower priority for funding compared with an equivalent area without a protection zone; a very rational approach to reducing threats to biodiversity per million dollars spent. I agree with the broad goals of conserving biodiversity in Byron Shire, as attested by my lifelong work including property planning and management. I suggest the aims and seven guiding principles of the LEP correspond very closely with the values and lifestyles of those residents living as sustainable land users in close proximity to forests. Therefore placing major additional costs on them for DAs for rural activities will work against restoration of biodiversity. A heavy-handed approach such as removing rural zoning from inappropriately identified lands does not help biodiversity conservation or water quality or a sustainable economy in conjunction with improved standards of land management. It does risk creating weedy rural slums. Councillors and residents need to read the draft LEP and ask themselves: does inadequate ground-truthed data and inaccurate maps along with no explicit trade-offs provide a sound basis for implementing an LEP that can fulfill the aims and principles of this LEP?

Councillors respond to Suffolk Park concerns Q Seems a day doesn’t go by without a betrayal, sellout or other calumny perpetrated by councillors on the longsuffering residents our beloved Shire. Today Peter Wegner and Dudley Leggett are fulminating over the fate of the Sufffolk Park Caravan Park, an issue that has run longer than Blue Hills and has its genesis around the same period. As the lead villain in the saga I can only offer a scenario that I already know will be deemed unsatisfactory and disputed by Pete and Dud. Without going over the ‘history’ of how the land gained its current status the Council is faced with making changes to conform with legal requirements. At the Council meeting Dudley was of the opinion that it should become a community park. Peter in his letter accuses me of moving to displace the permanent residents. There are three competing uses for this land, community use, low-cost housing and affordable camping and although it seems to have been lost in the crossfire, the staff recommendation allows us to examine how each use could be accommodated. The referral to a planning meeting (not a workshop, Peter) is intended to allow discussion on how the boundaries can be drawn to allow each use.

Contrary to Peter’s assertion I find the use of a prime seaside location for low-rent accommodation appealing. I also think that all residents of the area should continue to have access to affordable beach holiday sites and that the residents of Suffolk Park should have an attractive beach access. If this is a ‘shameless’ disregard of the ‘moral and historical rights of the Suffolk Park community’ – sorry.

Help for Kerry I would like to express my gratitude to all the friends of Kerry and Adam Garady, following Kerry’s life-threatening accident about three weeks ago. While helping out a friend by feeding her horse, the ungrate-

not let a fear campaign and a selective interpretation of the past by a few people result in the closing down of the very last Council-owned ‘affordable’ beachfront holiday park in Byron Shire (Letters, April 27). The coastal strip, including public caravan parks are rapidly going up market becoming too expensive for most people to afford a seaside holiday. We should preserve the survival of at least one low key holiday park for all to use on an equal basis. In response to claims made by Suffolk Park Progress Association (SPPA) we need to go back to the 1950s to make sense of the current debate about the future of the Suffolk Park Holiday Park (SPHP). It was a big day, the inaugural meeting of the Suffolk Park

Progress Association 1pm Sunday January 11, 1959, held on the ‘Picnic Reserve’ (Minutes of Meeting SPPA). On the agenda was the need for sanitary arrangements, water supply, toilets, picnic tables, telephones, electricity, bitumen on streets, Taylors Lake and dedicating the Park as a permanent reserve for recreation. After deciding to form a Progress Association, ‘the (SPPA) Secretary stated that the Shire Clerk had informed him that the Park or Picnic Ground had been offered to the Council by Northern Lands Pty Ltd, who had asked Council to accept ownership, which Council agreed to do. Mr Armstrong (Shire President) stated that the late Mr Suffolk had given the land to the Council many years ago and it had never been transferred. It was moved by Mr. J Suffolk seconded by G S Ede that Council be written to and asked to take such steps as would ensure that the Park would be preserved as a reserve for all time’. Carried. So they were referring to the intent to transfer the land to Council as a Park (which had already happened – see following. Then a second motion was put, interestingly adding the word ‘gift’. ‘It was moved by R L Windsor seconded by R C Humphreys that a letter be

written to the Suffolk Family thanking them for the gift of the Park. Carried’ Two days later (13/1/59) the SPPA wrote to J E Suffolk of Bangalow stating his late father ‘made a present of it (the Park) through the Shire Council to the public as a recreational reserve’. The word ‘gift’ is used twice in that letter. However six weeks later Walter Cecil Suffolk, formally of Nimbin, farmer, wrote to the SPPA (27/2/59) stating ‘To keep the record straight the title to the land was in my name and I and the Northern Lands people signed a transfer of the Park site to the Byron Shire and submitted by Mr. G W Baker “Solicitorâ€? for the Shire in March 1958‌ It was my father George Suffolk, late of Ballina, who opened up this subdivision and set aside the area for the park. He died on 7th September 1952’. A copy of the transfer from the Registrar General’s Office of NSW confirms this account. So there you have it. According to primary data (correspondence) provided to the current Council by the current SPPA, in the words of Walter C Suffolk he signed the transfer to Council on behalf of his father ten months before the Progress Association was formed and before the word ‘gift’ was referred to. It was

Walter Suffolk who wanted to keep the record straight and he makes direct reference to the link between his father opening up the subdivision (what is now Suffolk Park) and to ‘set aside the area for the park’. In the ‘documentary evidence’ provided to Council last week, during the 1950s the Suffolk family did not use the word ‘gift’. They use the words ‘set aside’ and ‘transfer’ in the context of their subdivision. The 1990s were a controversial period in Byron Shire’s history when the current Council Chambers were built and the then general manager Max Eastcott in a fire sale tried to sell many Council properties, including Suffolk Park Caravan Park, which was a big mistake. At this time in opposition to the sale, the SPPA stated ‘that the Suffolk Park Caravan Park is an asset gifted to the Suffolk Park community (letter 21/5/96)’. This, it appears, is when word ‘gift’ was reintroduced and this time attached to the ‘Suffolk Park community’ as opposed to the ‘public’ of the ‘Shire’. Now we have the current SPPA stating again that the land was gifted to the ‘local community’ as opposed to being ‘set aside’ for the general ‘public’ via ‘Council’. We can continue to debate the words and who used them

and when over a beer at the Suffolk Park Tavern if you like. But more importantly the SPPA representative indicated during questioning from Councillors during Public Access last week that the Holiday Park should be shut down, while somehow maintaining space for current residents to stay and maybe some space for people to put up tents? Given most people agree the land should be preserved as a ‘park’, the real issue therefore for residents of this shire to consider is whether the Holiday Park should be basically shut down as proposed by the SPPA last week, or remain open as a Holiday Park as an affordable holiday ‘recreational reserve’ by the seaside. For legal reasons to keep the Holiday Park active where the general community can pitch their tent or caravan requires reclassifying part of the land ‘operational’ and the Community Centre and some land adjacent to it for picnic tables, better beach viewing and access etc classified ‘community’ and done in a way that the whole Park remains and can’t be sold. This will involve a public hearing in an open and transparent manner where all can have their say.

ful animal kicked her hard, damaging her liver, kidneys, spleen and pancreas, cracking some ribs, and worst of all, cracking her C2 vertebra with the force of the fall. She received immediate and highly professional help from the local ambulance crew and the Westpac Lifesaver helicopter, to whom we are hugely grateful. By the time I arrived from London to help out with children and house, so that my son could spend as much time as possible at her bedside in the ICU at the Gold Coast Hospital, I found that the friends had already organised a roster to help with childcare, not to mention a constant supply

of lovely food – homemade soups, treats for the children and Mrs Smart’s out-of-thisworld cream patisserie! In addition the staff and parents at Mullumbimby Public School have sent a food hamper, some money, and are organising a fundraising event to help out while Adam cannot work. This kind of community spirit and rallying round at times of need is such a precious quality, and not very apparent where I live, so I would like to thank you all from the depths of my heart for your care and love, and I know that you will continue to watch out for Kerry and Adam in the coming months as she gradually regains health, strength and

mobility. Just as well, actually, as we have just heard that the family will receive no help from the state, as the accident occurred in New South Wales and the hospital with facilities for dealing with such serious injuries is in Queensland.

site certainly doesn’t address any of the questions I raised which were specifically about the school’s accountability for the apparent mismanagement of the public funds they have received every year up to the current crisis. This raises more questions. Do the supporters or members of the school not know the answers? Are the answers to those questions so unpalatable that they have been ignored or do they simply not wish to address them? Are questions from a member of the public, not directly involved in the school, of no concern to them despite the fact that the school, like any private school, has received hundreds of thousands of dollars of public money over the years since it began? Why is this amazing mismanagement of huge sums of money still not attracting any mainstream media concern or

attention? In the absence of any answers to my previous letter, am I to conclude that private schools do not have to be accountable for their use of public money? If the ‘new principle’ (as it is spelt on their website www. saveshearwater.com) can’t provide answers either, then maybe in return for that public funding should the school survive, he might at least focus on literacy. I’m still waiting for answers that might dispel my growing concerns.

Q I think people should be aware that besides the ‘emotional’ efforts to stop this rezoning (petitions, a planned march, NBN news on-side etc) there is also a campaign being structured right now, behind the scenes, to tackle the ‘practical/real’ issues. The truth is that there are a number of inconsistencies, oversights and ‘mistakes’ in the Council documents leading up to this final debacle. To those of you who are han-

ing and complies with Australian standards. As a parent of a four year old daughter and owner/occupier of a residence that backs directly to the pool area, safety is my utmost priority. This is a tragic and sad loss for our community and publishing inaccurate details of the circumstances when announcing this important news is confusing for the community when they are seeking explanations.

Saturday April 24 was a particularly nasty night. I normally carry a plastic bag for trash, but was overwhelmed by the quantity of beer bottles, cans, wine casks, plastic bottles and cups, cigarette packets and general litter which was scattered from the car park to the lookout. In addition to heaving trash all over the hill, they broke up a picnic table on the trail down to Warrambool Road. I suspect that many of them were under age as I found a Mullumbimby High School uniform pass among the debris. I also picked up a good leather case full of expensive makeup which I will return if the person agrees to participating in a cleanup day. The parking lot is also used a great deal at night. I often find small plastic bags on the ground and today spotted the price tag ($50) for an Agung Bong. (Watching CSI has sharpened my forensic skills.) The lookout has become a favourite overnight camping spot, particularly during Blues Fest. In addition, graffiti is on the increase as is general vandalism, including the torching of the litter bin. The Lions Club does a good job maintaining the site, and we do our best to keep it clean, but we need help. Regular police patrols should be instituted immediately to protect this Peter Olson community asset. Goonengerry Norm Sanders and the early

such as all the wars, the famines, disease, climate change and the energy crisis, then the problems caused solely by Gentically Modified (GM) crops may exceed the sum total of all the world’s problems for the last 200 years. The Huffington Post April 20 reported recent Russian scientific experiments that showed that animals fed GM food became sterile. The Huffington Post article states that the new Russian studies have confirmed earlier anecdotal reports by America farmers that pigs and cows became sterile after eating GM food. If the teenagers of the world all become sterile through eating GM crops, there won’t be any future problems for humanity. Please don’t think that we can simply stop planting GM crops, because GM pollen blows in the wind, is genetically dominant, transfers to related species and GM corn was found growing in even the most remote Mexican valley, while Mexico had a total ban on growing any kind of GM crops. Unlike cars, biological organisms like cane toads, rabbits and GM crops cannot be recalled. Also, Morgellons Diseaselike ‘hairs’ grew inside the mouths of the Russian study animals.

I was looking for a place to busk the Sunday before Hector’s accident and going past the busking spot under the The Balcony is when I saw him with his amp, guitar and chair not yet set-up and asked why he wasn’t playing. He said the police pulled up and said he couldn’t and he had to pack up and leave. All he wanted to do was play his music. It’s a mirror image of what’s happening on the streets here concerning busking, and trying to stop our freedom of speech. Here was an incredible musician spreading his music and culture in this town for many years and and being disrespected in this way. Legislation has now passed Council to ban amplified music, mainly because of all the whingers who own businesses here.

‘Repairing’ potholes It was with disbelief that my husband and I watched the pathetic attempt to repair the potholes in our street in Ocean Shores. We have seen the workers, in the past, drop the bitumen into the unprepared holes and then tap dance on top of it to supposedly flatten it. This time they didn’t even do their tap dance, they softly patted it with their boots and instead of huge holes we now have huge lumps of bitumen that sit on top of a loose sandy, pebbly base. We know that with the first downpour of rain the bitumen will lift out and wash away as has happened so often in the past and the cycle will repeat

harmonious civil society rests on essential pillars, including individual freedom, non-discriminatory equality, the rule of (just) law, the distribution of power and effective checks and balances. Moreover, as Chief Justice Warren of the United States Supreme Court pointed out many years ago, ‘Law‌ presupposes the existence of a broad area of human conduct controlled only by ethical norms and not subject to Law at all.’ That aphorism sits uneasily with the realities of 21st century Australian politics. However, until official misconduct becomes sufficiently egregious and notorious to overcome community cynicism and generate public outrage, few Australians seem troubled by, or even interested in, structural and systemic flaws in our political process and public administration. Citizens who are not directly affected by a law or official action or decision are generally more concerned with day-to-day financial and other personal considerations than with the misuse of power or the impact of injustice on others. This general apathy is not really surprising. Life is good

for most Australians. Most have family and other priorities which distract them from matters which don’t directly affect them personally. Few crave power or understand those who do. Like the Trojans who disregarded the warnings of Cassandra, the beautiful daughter of King Priam who’d been cursed by Apollo, most of us are also reluctant to confront major problems which we’d prefer to ignore. Our unwillingness to act on scientific warnings about global warming and its potentially disastrous consequences provides a dramatic current example. ommunal inertia is also magnified by Australia’s anachronistic, rudimentary political system, which is based on flawed assumptions that democracy is synonymous with majority rule and that, because parliamentarians are elected, parliamentary decisions express the popular will. The first proposition disregards the fundamental democratic prohibition on the majority oppression of individuals and minorities. The second proposition ignores the realities of modern party-political decision-making, with rigid party discipline ensuring that, with few exceptions, parliamentarians vote as directed. A few years ago, the then prime minister praised ‘the uniqueness of the Australian system’. What is unique is our virtually pristine version of theoretical parliamentary sovereignty, although in practice under executive control, unfettered by constitutional constraints, international law or universal human rights. By and large, our laws are valid even if they are contrary to the public interest or unjust. Voters are little more than observers to a substantially rulefree contest who are entitled, indeed compelled, to choose one or other of the established

C

political parties to govern every few years. The community is ill-served by this escalating transfer of power from the public to the dominant political parties and the parties’ disinterest in ethical constraints and resistance to oversight and accountability, even by independent anti-corruption bodies. Without satisfactory legal and ethical fetters, the political process, like all human constructs, can be, and is, manipulated and exploited to advance personal and group interests. A political class has evolved which is interested in little but the acquisition and exercise of power. Careerists with little or no experience outside politics learn their craft in party administration, politicians’ offices and supporters’ organisations prior to party pre-selection and entry to parliament. mall groups control each of the two major parties and indirectly the national destiny. It is now extremely difficult, if not impossible, for another competitive political force to emerge because of the financial advantages held by the two major parties and the critical role that money plays in political activity. Whichever party is in government, with effective parliamentary control, can, and routinely does, indulge its adherents, supporters and ideology. Well-connected, often wealthy, individuals and groups are given access to and influence over the political process. Decisions favouring special interests are common. Secrecy and misinformation (euphemistically called ‘spin’) are routinely employed by politicians. ‘Media management’ insults and confuses the electorate, which is denied the comprehensive accurate information which is essential to the proper functioning of democracy.

S

Most, if not all, conventions concerning standards of political conduct which the Westminster system once incorporated are now obsolescent, bipartisan support for fundamental institutions is periodically abandoned for political advantage and social division, populism and prejudice are occasionally used as political tools. The prevailing political culture is increasingly amoral, with each party lowering its standards, exploiting gaps in the law and disregarding ethical standards in order to compete: ‘whatever it takes’ – ‘winner takes all’. Because all parties grasp opportunities when in power, opposition criticism of government self-indulgence is generally muted and the risk of an electoral backlash is low. Changes in government because of the misuse of power occur only in exceptional circumstances. hese short-term political practices and tactics risk serious social problems in the longer-term. Public figures are role models and their standards percolate into the community. Social capital and social cohesion built on integrity and trust are easily dissipated as the population increases, communities become larger and more diverse and economic disparities widen. People who consider themselves powerless outsiders readily become disillusioned, cynical, apathetic and disengaged and lose trust in government, the integrity of its process and decisions and even fundamental institutions. Principled leadership is essential to preserve our confidence in and support for each other.

Down and out in Byron and Mullum If you passed Nigel walking down Jonson Street you could be mistaken for thinking he was a Vogue model. You could easily imagine him a young bloke on his way to footy training after a hard day at work or off to meet his girlfriend. The idea that probably wouldn’t cross your mind is that Nigel is homeless. Nigel is one of an untold number of people in the Byron Shire who have spent their nights sleeping under the stars simply because there was no alternative. Arriving at a point where he was addicted to drugs and alcohol, the control over Nigel’s life fell out of his hands and it wasn’t long before he found himself on the streets. ‘Living was getting pretty hard,’ says Nigel ‘You might even spend a night or two in a motel but then you have nowhere.’

a single solution if it was a single problem. You have people with mental health issues. Add to that a drug addiction and many of these people will possibly never live independently in a private home.’ The bottom line is that there are too few services and options for such a huge situation. Places like the Mullum Neighbourhood Centre cannot solve the homeless problem but they can provide a safe place off the street for a few hours. ‘If they don’t have a home, where do they go?’ says Julie. ‘What do we want to see happen to these people? We should be able to measure the health of our community by how well we look after our community.’ Unfortunately, there are homeless folk who for a myriad of reasons cannot be helped and for those we must, as a community, show compassion and understanding.

Overwhelming

A future ahead

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

People don’t choose to be homeless. You don’t wake up one day and say, ‘I’m sick of this whole roof over the head gig, I’m outta here.’ More often than not, any choice in vagrancy is to escape something worse. Mostly there is no clearcut point when people become homeless, it usually creeps up insidiously until it becomes too overwhelming to turn back the tide. The two most common causes of homelessness are surprisingly not drugs and alcohol, rather mental health issues and family breakdown, followed closely by the lack of affordable housing. Addiction is often the result of homelessness, not the cause, and the stereotypical ‘parky’ is far from the norm. The Byron Bay Youth House is a Youth Crisis Homeless Service. The Browning Street residence has five beds which are always full and in the 2008-09 fiscal year, 136 youth between the age of 16 and 24 were referred to the service.

www.echo.net.au

Nigel, right, with BEAP coordinator Damian Farrell

Only 41 were able to be accommodated. Of the people housed by the service almost 70% were between the age of 16 and 19. Youth worker Michael Williams says that 95% of the clients at the home are there as a results of family breakdown. ‘We get people in here as the result of parents who simply can’t manage the job of parenting,’ says Michael. ‘We get people who cannot get along with their parent’s new partner. We get people who don’t adjust to a new blended family. We get people who are physically or sexually abused.’ Michael says there is a lack of affordable housing for young people and often they can end up on the streets. ‘We prioritise the younger ones but of the many of those referred to us, we then refer to other services.’ Julie Williams from the Neighbourhood Centre in

Mullumbimby says that the problem is broader than a handful of people who periodically sleep in the park. ‘The homeless that are the most visible, are the tip of the iceberg. There is a vast quantity of homeless people across the shire and across the state,’ says Julie. ‘We are talking about rough sleepers and those who sleep in their car and those who spend nights on friends’ couches in turn.’

Complex issues Sometimes the Neighbourhood Centre is the first port of call for the homeless.

For many, there is the possibility of a constructive future. Those, like Nigel, are an ember of hope. Byron Emergency Accom Program (BEAP) coordinator Damian Farrell says it is heartening to see people like Nigel who are a positive role model for others. Nigel wants dearly to get back on his feet. He hopes to attend 90 meetings in 90 days and go back to school and learn the skills of a counsellor so that he can help others like himself. ‘I guess that if you fall over, you just have to get back up,’ says Nigel. ‘You dust yourself off and you keep yourself busy. Living at BEAP is giving me a foundation and a routine and the support I need to know there is hope.’

Letters

What’s going on at Main Arm – history and the present People must be puzzled by exactly what is going on at Main Arm, because the Main Arm community certainly is. Perhaps someone could explain the point of a developer resubmitting a DA that is exactly the same as the previous one? Making it the third DA submitted for the same development by the same developer.

Q

Perhaps somebody owes an explanation to the community too, why at Council’s ordinary meeting on March 11, that we went to, the developer’s previous DA was up for approval, when he had already lodged the new one on March 1? We were wondering why the developer or his consultant didn’t attend that Council meeting,

considering its importance to them, and now we know why. Nobody bothered to inform the community, or it seems the Councillors – even so, Council planners blithely fielded questions about the defunct DA and they at least must have known. Somebody owes the Main Arm community an apology for the shoddy processes that it has been put through ever since the approval of the Byron Rural Settlement Strategy, Byron’s award winning strategy, in 1998. Our voice of reason has hardly been heard over the clammer of developers, consultants and Council alike. Not when you see what has been consistently put on the table for Main Arm – a large rural dormitory with a shopping mall accessed by substandard roads, no community resources, with sewers on flood plains on top of the Brunswick River and on steep slopes, and planning proposals that serially don’t comply to Council guidelines but are consistently being excused. MARA believes this latest ploy by the developer is a waste of Council time, community resources and ratepayers’ money. A veiled threat to go to court, but also highlighting the developer’s unwillingness to listen to the community and compro-

itself. The road repair work is farcical and an insult to the ratepayers of Ocean Shores. This is the year 2010, isn’t it, even in the Byron Shire. As a ratepayer I’m disgusted. How dare the Bryon Council treat the ratepayer with such blatant disdain. I’ve no doubt that if we asked for the job to be done correctly we would hear ‘can’t afford it’. The council seems to suffer with ‘selective spending syndrome’. The Shire is in the hands of the Beverly Hillbillies. Taking into consideration the continual ongoing cost of the ‘Mickey Mouse’ repairs, wouldn’t it work out cheaper in the long run to fix the ongoing problem permanently? The performance of this Council is pathetic. They haven’t got a bloody clue. They need to go and take all their ideology and ‘crapology’ with them.

Re letter published April 27 from S Mita of Ocean Shores regarding pedestrians on the roadway. I didn’t like your statement that you cross to the wrong side of the roadway to get around pedestrians who walk side by side on the road with their backs to the traffic. Why not consider slowing to a stop if needed and toot your horn as a warning of the impending danger to the pedestrians, but don’t even consider crossing over any double or single unbroken line, thereby endangering other road users. Many pedestrians seem to have no idea, just don’t care or don’t have a brain to bless themselves with. The NSW Police had a ‘School Road Safety Lecturing Branch’ that visited different schools daily to teach our kids about pedestrian and bicycle safety but the government disbanded it and now you are seeing the results.

Following the Rudd government’s delay of the deeply flawed CPRS (Carbon Production Reduction Scheme) it is well past time we had a massive public response to this imminent problem. The wool has definitely been pulled over our eyes and the truth is neither of the major parties intend to do much at all. The devil was in the detail of the CPRS in that it intended to compensate major polluters to the tune of $165,000 per job and $70,000 per job for smaller ones! Hopeless, really, when all that is needed is a carbon tax. My vote in the next election will go to the party that supports the logical and simple initiative of a carbon tax. Yes, we will be paying more for all sorts of stuff but with the spectre of rapidly rising fuel prices over the next decade hanging over our head, we are going to be doing this anyway.

else’s valley or maybe they can just all live down the coast. If we are seriously concerned about the impact of more housing in our valley we should firstly be jumping up and down trying to limit population growth in Byron Shire. Now there’s an undertaking. I believe in the beginning ReGenesis’s aim was to implement a good example of an ecologically sustainable Community Title development. Rather than stonewalling them at every opportunity it would have been far more constructive to work with them toward achieving a great outcome. Possibly the whole thing has taken so long they now would be happy to get anything built. What I am more concerned about, rather than a few more people in Main Arm, is how people are housed. We desperately need to develop new and innovative ways to house people. Cream brick suburban estates are mindblowingly dull, they offer no encouragement to good solar passive design, alternative energy production, onsite effluent treatment and water self sufficiency. Aside from what some people are doing on collective landholdings, I can only think of one suburban development that embraces ecologically sustainable principles. There are far more pressing problems facing the planet, we need to work out how we can encourage cutting edge community housing which supports the environment and is socially uplifting. I believe some of the answers lie in what could be done with Community Title.

Panchkarma:¹ Ayurveda’s detoxiÄcation program

I am sure that many of you know from personal experience that our busy lifestyle places a great deal of strain on the body. These stresses not only cause wear and tear but can also lead to the build-up of toxins, making the body feel dull and sluggish. To counteract the impact of these toxins, many people seek treatments such as colonic irrigation and fasting Other people exercise madly to ‘sweat’ out the toxins. However, many of these de-toxiĂ„cation programs do not seem to last, requiring repeated treatments. The reason for this is that many of them only address the symptoms and not the root cause – why toxins accumulate in the Ă„rst place.

that investigates these root causes. It is also the only program that can identify the areas in the body where toxins collect and focus the detoxiĂ„cation program in these areas. Ayurveda has the most effective and systematic de-toxiĂ„cation and rejuvenation program available to medical science. Called Panchkarma, it has been used for centuries by those who wish to undertake a ‘spring clean’ of their bodies. Panch means Ă„ve and karma, action. This program consists of Ă„ve different methods to detoxify and rejuvenate the body at every level – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Planet Ayurveda, located in Auckland, is the only Panchkarma clinic operating in Australasia. The director, Dr S. Ajit has over 33 years clinical experience is able to offer Panchkarma treatments based on the traditional teachings of Ayurveda. The clinic offers 7, 10 or 14 day programs. Selecting the best program is something best discussed with Dr Ajit but in general terms a 7 or 10 day program is recommended to get the most out of the treatment.

Slim and Smooth = from just $187 per week for 10 weeks, you’ll lose up to 20 kgs plus reshape your body and reduce cellulite.

Last year I lost 25 kilos. Everyone keeps asking me: how did you do it? There is no magic answer. No treatment, device or potion can get rid of excess weight. I did it the old fashioned way. Diet and exercise. I gave up booze, sugar and high GI carbs. Initially I was worried that with the fat I may also lose my personality and become one of those pious health nuts. I am pleased to say I am still afÅicted with a healthy sense of cynicism, and am still a pain but in a slightly smaller ass. A few months ago I was approached by The Body Oasis to trial a cellulite treatment called Endermologie. At Ärst I was a bit deÅated. I had lost all that weight but my thighs and butt still looked like porridge in a body stocking, and someone had noticed! I am an advocate of ageing naturally and believe there have to be a few of us pioneers who say no to botox, tit jobs, butt lifts and liposuction. It’s called going with grace. Otherwise future generations may never get to know what an old woman actually looks like. I had never heard of Endermologie but was immediately suspicious. I imagined some invasive fat vacuum. I was assured that it was originally developed to treat scar tissue in burns victims. Turned out that their skin texture improved and cellulite disappeared. It’s this funny little roller device that sucks and kneads connective

tissue and triggers fat cells to release fat, while simultaneously stimulating the body’s blood and lymph Ă…ow. It also boosts collagen and elastin production to give your skin a healthier rejuvenated tone. I’m like ‘yeah, sure it does’. I have to admit, I thought that Nancy from the Body Oasis must be conĂ„dent, because I told her that if I didn’t think the treatment worked I wouldn’t endorse it. In ten 35 minute treatments I was amazed. In fact I’d eat my words if they weren’t so high in carbohydrates. We did the initial weigh in and measure up, and in just 3 weeks with absolutely no kilo reduction I had lost 5cm off my waist (Ă…uid retention) and 2cm off my thighs. My upper arms had lost 1cm each in circumference and the Ă…appy bit that hangs over the bra under the arm (I call that the lady scrotum) had reduced from a bulge to an inoffensive curve. It was very relaxing (like a deep tissue massage) and left me feeling invigorated. I have a noticeable cellulite reduction and have just knocked back a request to be the centrefold for the next Senior’s Monthly. Only women get cellulite, and only men get man boobs. Endermologie will also reduce those man titties and love handles. Like me, its totally natural and it works.

Invisible Tatts We have a giveaway of one Mysterious Maps album and one pass giveaway for the Invisible Friends Show at the Tatts Hotel in Lismore on Thursday May 6. Email gigs@echo. net.au with subject header ‘invisible’.

Will Connor’s latest CD release is Sailing, Love and Food. This will be his third release in Japan, a rather unlikely place for Will to develop a following. I was snatched up by a record label over there. Such a unique place, there is nothing like it. You can pass out drunk on the street, in the morning you will find yourself safely tucked in bed with your wallet and all its contents neatly stacked beside you, not that that has ever happened to me! What’s it like having a lifesize cutout of you in a shopping centre? Were you tempted to take one home? That life size cardboard cutout is vacationing in the Bahamas with a beautiful woman as we speak! Getting into all kinds of trouble, I had to cancel all my credit cards! Why Sailing, Love and Food? Almost every song on the album is about Sailing, Love or Food. Im surprised it took me so long to name this album. It was finally so obvious, I guess sometimes it takes a while to actually listen to your own songs. When were the tracks written? Most were written in 2008 and early 2009, The song Rooster I wrote with my 93 year old grandmother. She was making fun of me because I had too many soft love songs and wanted me to rock 'n' roll a little more. So there in the retirement home in fifteen minutes out it came. G Love

eventually recorded the harmonica on this track for me. He played it in his tour bus somewhere up in New York and sent the track over, a real lo-fi sound. Do you feel as though you’ve got over the first and second album hump and now can get on with the business of making the kind of records you want to make? I don’t know, I just play what comes out and have been lucky I have the ability to keep making music. It's such a great fun part of my life. Sometimes I'm just laughing to myself not believing how lucky I have been with this. Seriously, who starts a music career at 35? I’ve been all over the world and met so many amazing people, and the funny thing is, nobody knows who I am! Hell, I don’t even know who I am! I'm having so much fun, I just retire after every show. Most people might not know what I'm talking about at this point, but that’s OK. What was the inspiration for your latest album? Just a moment in time. Tell me a little about the ‘Transparentsea’ voyage with Dave Rastovich? Life changing amazing interaction with beautiful nature. When the humpbacks migrate north in a few months. If you see them out there, just go underwater, right there in the shore break and listen. It’s the best free music show you will ever hear, I guarantee! Are you using your influence in Japan to raise awareness of the plight of the humpback whale? Yes, all of us are just doing what we can, They released my

GETTING INTO THE WILL music video not long ago over there. I used the footage from the Transparentsea Voyage, you can check it out on YouTube, the song is called Stuff. I just wanted to show some beauty and if I could save one whale or dolphin by simply showing how lucky we are to be able to observe them in their natural surroundings then I'll feel like I did something good. I really admire people like Dave who dedicate a huge part of their lives to a good cause. I think the majority of coastal people around the world are doing

their best to make their voices heard on conservation and protection of these sentient beings. How has your friendship with Jack J impacted on your career as a musician. Jack is one of the few contempory musicians who has made me feel confident about playing music to strangers. He has made me feel very welcome in this era. It’s hard to explain, he asked me to open for him on his last Australian tour. Before we went out, he told me 'I'm not asking you to

play because were friends, I'm asking you because I like your music.' That actually gave me the confidence to step out in front of 20,000 people a night and have a whole lot of fun. The thing is though, I'm still so excited to play for my family at a barbeque, I get nervous in front of just a few people, , but I love playing and as corny as it sounds, if I can make one person smile or laugh then I'm on top of the world! Sadly there’s no gig currently scheduled for Will Conner, but his CD is available at

Apparently we’re being sprayed. Those of you who are in the know about chemical trails or ‘bio warfare’ will nod your head in paranoid agreement, confirming that those strange white streaks across our unbroken skyline are not anorexic cloud formations or atmospheric skid marks made by a Jetstar pilot still on his green Ps but an attempt to eradicate the population. People who don’t live in Mullumbimby are probably not up to date on their conspiracy theories, so let me bring you up to speed. There are some websites (yes, you can google ‘chemtrails’ but beware, if you are stoned you may never leave the house again). They believe there is a clandestine operation aimed at ‘culling’ the human population so that only the elite inherit a ruined Earth. I suppose that would explain why you never see chemtrails over Watego’s. There are other sites that state that chemtrails are an aerial vaccine delivered to save us from terrorists who can genetically alter their biological cocktails overnight, instantly nullifying all existing vaccines. Then there are those who just think we’re being sprayed with viruses like Swine Flu to move vaccine stores. If you wanted to move vaccine why would you bother spraying anyone in Byron Bay or Mullumbimby? That’s like doing a tofu patty drop in Casino. Clearly we don’t vaccinate and we don’t intend to change. Whooping cough is at 1 in 100 in Mullum, as opposed to the national 1 in 1,000. Even with babies dying, there is still a general consensus that a herbal tincture and an affirmation is best. As for the aerial dropping of illness, let me remind you that

soAP boX Mandy Nolan

&"5 413": -07& just because you’ve got the flu doesn’t mean you’ve been sprayed by the government. Chances are you’ve gone to the toilet and haven’t washed your hands. More bad hygiene then conspiracy theory. You sprayed yourself, you idiot. I once knew a homeless man with a psychiatric condition who refused to sleep indoors. His 15 years sleeping rough was a result of his belief that the government were spraying us. It was a form of mind control. He thought ‘The Spray’ was coming out of the TV. After watching Big Brother, I think he may be right. I definitely felt much dumber after watching. I’m impressed that a good part of the population in our region believe we’re being sprayed by the government. It shows that we have very high self esteem. Honestly, if I were a global superpower or Dr Evil I don’t think I’d target a coastal dwelling dairy town in Northern NSW. Surely there are greater, more subversive communities than ours. Sure we’re all waiting for our own spiritual transcendence, the move to a higher vibration, but on a global scale, we’re

just a town with an above average quota of new age nuts. We’re hardly going to up-end the status quo and pull off a revolution.

Straight off the press from a month-long residency with Melbourne’s Hothouse Theatre in Albury/Wodonga, Brown Council are in residency at NORPA for two weeks working on their new theatre work A Comedy. A Comedy begins like a late night variety show and escalates into the realm of violence, humiliation and impossible conquests. It's David Lettermen come hardcore endurance spectacle with a little bit of Benny Hill slapstick and a dash of Bill Hicks cynicism. Manifesting as cardboard-capped Dunces, Kings and Showgirls, Brown Council will perform a spectacular of tricks and torture.

I love You Too

Next film in the Reel Mums program at Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas is I Love You Too, a romantic comedy. It’s about an emotionally-stunted thirtysomething man who drives a miniature train for a living and lives in a bungalow at the back of his sister’s house. He is in love with his smart and very together English girlfriend, Alice, but he doesn’t have the guts or the words to tell her. Charlie is a thirty-something year old dwarf. Despite his short-stature, he is the perfect man: emotionally together, Behind The Sculpture wise, funny, attractive, and Join Dev Lengjel and sculptors generous. He runs his own Judson Chatfield, Christina business as a photographer Khumari, Alan Horstmanshoff, and is unbelievably talented, Samantha Collyer and Daniel especially with words.

WEDNESDAY 5

1. Deborah Kerr and David Niven are superb in Separate Tables (7TWO, Friday, 10am), a poignant social drama of the kind the English do so well. 2. In another area of English virtuosity, the director and cast have heaps of fun genre-busting in Hot Fuzz (Prime, Saturday, 10.50pm). You might have thought Mullum was an unusual little town, but wait till you visit Sandford. 3. Crime pays – at least for NBN. Underbelly screens at 8.30pm on Sunday – here Peter O’Brien plays ‘colourful racing identity’ George Freeman – followed by Australian Familes of Crime, which looks at Sydney’s ‘Mr Sin’, Abe Saffron, never nailed for anything other than tax evasion.

cCINEMAREVIEWSd Iron Man 2 I’ve never been a fan of AC/DC, but their distinctive brand of numbskull rock does lend itself perfectly as an accompaniment to this type of smashathon flick – or, as Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen wrote, they go together like a horse and carriage. It gets the ball rolling here with a thumping crescendo as Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr), surrounded by leggy cheer girls, laps up the adulation of a crowd whose freedom has been secured thanks to his invincible iron body suit – it even allows him to soar across the sky like a jet. (Funny, isn’t it? The Yanks were brought to their knees by rice-eating peasants in Vietnam and are making no headway against a rag-tag gang of religious fanatics in Afghanistan, yet still they are seduced by the

fantasy of might and power.) Stark, a most interesting super hero, is again the wisecracking egomaniac (‘boy I’m good’), but he is getting a bit ratty as the level of toxins in his blood rises and government demands for him to share his armour’s design secrets intensify. But if you were pleasantly surprised by the first Iron Man (2008), as I was, you should bring your expectations of its sequel down a peg or two. It’s not as good. The rapid fire one-liners remain but, notwithstanding Downey Jr’s best efforts and a brilliant performance from Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, the grey-suited, bespectacled master baddie (was he channeling Tom Cruise?), director Jon Favreau has this time allowed self parody to be overwhelmed by hi-tech bombast. Micky Rourke is great fun as a feral Russian physicist

hams it up in lordly manner as the celebrated Êminence gris, but I was not altogether convinced that he was the bloke who created the tragic Anna. Helen Mirren, equally stagy as Sofya, is given free rein to display her considerable range as an actress and, by Jove, she manages to swing effortlessly from one emotional extreme to the other, sometimes in the same scene. But I was on her side in the battle being waged with her husband and Chertkov (Paul Giametti), leader of the Tolstoyan cult, who had designs on the great man’s estate (including his royalties). James McAvoy appears as Valentin Bugakov, one of Tolstoy’s (real life) secretaries. Valentin doesn’t actually do anything except lose his virginity to horny Masha (Kerry Condon) on his first night at Yasnaya Polyana (Tolstoy’s

country home) and turn up to witness each episode of the bitter struggle between his idol and the erratic Sofya. With a foot in both camps and pining for the departed Masha, who has abandoned the joyless movement, he is a rather pointless if appealingly sensitive character. An unsteady camera makes its presence felt at inopportune moments and the overall look more closely resembles a glossy Sunday night TV serial, especially in some harshly lit, depthless interior shots. There was possibly a sharp, dark comedy in this story – Mirren obviously sensed it and with bug-eyed Giametti twiddling his waxed moustache and Plummer in full theatrical overdrive, it must only have been director Michael Hoffman’s reverence for his subject that kept it on the rails. ~ John Campbell

His first play is at the Monaco Grand Prix, where he lashes out at Stark’s car with crackling electric whips that slice the vehicle in half and send it into a slo-mo fireball somersault – bet you’ve never seen that before. As always, Scarlett Johansson is easy on the eye as the femme fatale (brunette suits her) and Gwyneth Paltrow is lovely as Stark’s bossy secretary, Pepper Potts, but Don Cheadle looks ridiculous in super hero drag. The story is more or less irrelevant, for you know that as soon as the adversaries are established, everything will lead to a climactic rumble followed by a summingup gag, as Angus and the boys hammer their way into Highway To Hell. Classy but run of the mill and typically blokey. ~ John Campbell FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WED ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

My knowledge of Leo Tolstoy was sketchy. I’d read Anna Karenina (you cad, Vronsky!) and was aware that he had achieved great fame in his own lifetime. Oh, and that he had a long wiry beard and dressed like a serf. So I was taken aback by the claim in this movie’s introductory blurb that, in his later years, Tolstoy was the world’s most celebrated writer and considered by many to be a saint – not that saints are all they are cracked up to be. Indeed, Augustine’s ‘God make me chaste, but not yet’ might have comfortably sat with Tolstoy who, it seems, was happy to give all of his personal wealth, which disgusted him, to a group of high-minded proto-hippy followers. But not until after his death. Or, as his wife Sofya snapped when he whinged one too many times about privilege and materialism, â€˜â€Ś and you’re first at the trough, always have been.’ Christopher Plummer

Be patient and use this week to revamp daily routines and attend to whatever needs mending in the relationship arena. TAURUS: Your personal appeal and executive abilities are peaking this week, but the economic health of Planet Boeuf still requires you to face financial obligations, respect credit limits, avoid rash cash schemes and enjoy this week without unnecessary spending or over the top comfort shopping. GEMINI: Mercury’s mischief switch can bring on breakdowns and delays this week, so allow extra time for deadlines and appointments, double check terms and agreements, confirm dates and arrangements and put things in writing. It might sound over-fussy, but prevention’s the best kind of damage control.

With the world title match in Sofia at the halfway stage, Viswanathan Anand seems to have the measure of his challenger Veselin Topalov. Anand leads 3.5-2.5 in the best-of-12 contest and holds the advantage of the first move in the next game. The Indian World Champion, while clearly satisfied, has refused to comment on the state of the match, using the cliché ‘I am just taking it game by game’ to fob off any queries. Apart from a brief black-out during game 5 on Friday, which resulted in ten minutes of blindfold analysis by the players who didn’t seem to mind sitting in the pitch black of the theatre in the Sofia Military Club, there

The Hunter Gatherer Dinner Club was founded earlier this year by agricultural environmentalist and ex-food industry personality Deborah Newell in a bid to encourage people to eat fresh food from sustainable sources, wild or farmed. The inaugural event was held in March at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms, near Bungendore, and its challenge was to prepare lunch from ingredients that have gone through no more than secondary production, eg. slaughter, fermenting, separating, curdling and dessicating. Venison, wallaby, duck, local beef and pork, fresh Jersey milk and cream, locally-sourced trout and yabbies, biodynamic eggs, honey, berries, wild greens and vegetables from the home garden were transformed into dishes by some of Australia’s top chefs. The Dinner Club is dedicated to proving that modern, urbanised humans are still hunter gatherers at heart, an association of food-enjoyers, food experts and food provedores that hold eclectic dinners based on a modern take of our original and natural hunter gatherer diet – all set amidst natural landscapes. The next one will be held on Stradbroke Island, and for further information contact Deb Newell on info@thehuntergathererdinnerclub.com.au or 07 3846 6250 or 0439 756 776.

Beans, beans, the musical fruit Funny how once you open up the dialogue about baked beans you find out how many people love them. I was delighted recently to learn that one of Ian Parmentier’s so-called ‘guilty secrets’ was baked beans in ham sauce – which is my favourite variety as well. There you go – even famous people are prepared to admit to this particular penchant. Despite the name, when most of us eat baked beans what we are eating are stewed beans in a tomato sauce. The type of bean used is the haricot, sometimes known as navy bean (the name came about because it was a staple food of the US Navy in the early 20th century). Small white beans with a mild smooth flavour, they are one of 13,000 species of the family of legumes, plants producing edible pods. Traditionally, the beans were baked in a ceramic or cast-iron bean pot; in New England, US, sweetened with maple syrup, combined with salt pork and left in a brick oven for an entire day. Many cuisines have their own renditions of beans served in a tomatoey or similarly flavoured sauce – French cassoulet, Greek fassolia, Italian fagioli all’uccelletti, Portuguese feijoada, Spanish fabada, just to mention a few. Earthy peasant food all of it – and that’s another endearing element of baked beans as a dish, its inability at sophistication no matter how much you may ritz it up. One small tin heated and toppled on to toast will cost you no more than a couple of dollars and ten minutes of your time and will reward you by supplying you with a filling, hearty meal devoid of fat and rich in protein and fibre. Ritzing up baked beans is, all the same, not only fun but also a way of making this pauper’s meal more interesting. A colleague of mine crumbles fetta into hers and adds paprika or fresh parsley, sometimes garlic. I often soften chopped onion and capsicum cubes in a little oil before tumbling in the beans and scattering in dried chilli and rosemary leaves. Draped over toasted Turkish bread or a grainy wholemeal, baked beans move thus in a definitely gourmet

direction! Another friend from the UK reminisces fondly about potato jacket stands on the streets where you can select your filling: her particular favourite was baked beans, cheese and creamy coleslaw – which would surely qualify as a complete meal, most of the food groups covered! I do recall that my mother would sometimes send me off to school with baked bean sandwiches and that I never enjoyed them, the cold saucey beans turning the bread soggy, the difficulty in eating with dignity. One thing I have never understood is the desire to order baked beans – usually for breakfast – in cafés. And yet people do! Those grotesque Big Breakfasts backpackers go in for include, I observe with distaste, a small mountain of baked beans fighting for room amongst the bacon and eggs and fried potato rosti and mushrooms and sausages and tomatoes. Oh, and toast. You can open a tin or you can make your own baked beans, and if you want to do it properly you must start the day before and soak your dried beans. After that it’s really just a matter of simmering some lovely ingredients together. HOMEMADE BAKED BEANS Soak 300 gr. dried haricot or cannellini beans overnight in cold water. The next day, drain them and place them in a large saucepan with a smoked ham hock (skin and fat removed). Cover with water, bring to the boil then simmer 30 mins. Remove ham hock and drain the beans, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. In the same pan heat some olive oil and soften 1 finely chopped onion and i chopped garlic clove. Add 800 gr. peeled, chopped, tinned tomatoes, the reserved liquid, a slosh of Worcestershire sauce and another of pure maple syrup and 2 tsp Dijon mustard. Shred meat from ham hock and add to pan then simmer everything together for about 30 mins, or until thick and beans are tender. Season with salt and pepper and serve to four people for a Sunday supper in deep bowls with warm crusty bread on the side.

One of the constant dangers confronting a gentleman of leisure is the morning after. I am not referring so much to the shock of waking up in a yurt next to a Bavarian contortionist, an empty cream dispenser and a badlydamaged accordian and wondering what it all means, but to the common-or-garden hangover. One might shake off the mild headache caused by a nitrous oxide binge or the residual disassociation from talking to a giant pair of secateurs on ayahuasca, but alcohol will disable a chap for an entire day. It became the hot talking point at the clubhouse the morning after we had consumed a particularly lethal crate of Colonel Blatherskite’s Dregs of the Raj Fan Wallah Unwooded Gin. ‘Stickler for greasy food myself,’ offered Camberwell, ‘a big plate of fried bread, fatty sausages, rashers of bacon, baked beans and lashings of butter will do the trick.’ ‘Coffee and paracetamol,’ said Tosser Digby, ‘ and a good liedown with a face mask.’ ‘Moderation in all things,’ said Abbotsleigh, who was once trapped half way up a cliff near Dharamsala with a sieve stuck on his head and a mongoose down his trousers. After we reminded Abbotsleigh the notion of

moderation was contrary to Club rules, we consulted Sanders the butler, who was an inexhaustible fount of knowledge on all topics which might pertain to a gentleman’s welfare, and also the care of hamsters. After exhaling a barely audible sigh, like that of a Parisian existentialist who has found his last Gauloise stolen and his beret soiled by pigeon shit, Sanders remarked, ‘May I remind you, gentlemen, that in the cupboard directly behind you there is an ample supply of Mrs Hattie Penwiper’s Patented Hangover Cure and Bureau Polish, which is efficacious in 99 per cent of cases. It is made from a secret blend of Tibetan spices liberally infused in tonic water lightly flavoured with lime.’ That said, Sanders then left to oversee the 11am cushion-

To say that we were shamefaced by our forgetfulness is an understatement of the magnitude of Canon Fulbert’s men saying to Peter Abelard, ‘This might hurt a bit.’ Nevertheless we pressed on with our discussion of cures. Among the favourites were ‘lots of fresh home made orange juice (usually three oranges and one lemon) then a nice long shower and then lots of sex’, which might not be accessible to all gentlemen, and drinking lots of water before going to bed, which does in fact require an act of memory.

The lights are on and Shores United are home Still a matter of controversy, the lights at the sports fields in New Brighton were finally switched on last Friday night as the Shores United under 14s played their inaugural night game on the Tom Kendall oval. In a shire that officially opens an envelope, the field lit up with no fanfare and local kids took to the grass to get the soccer season underway. Shores United president Marc Patten says that the club has had to fight tooth and nail to get the lights, and now that they have them, they are to be used with restrictions. ‘After years of lobbying, delays, surveys, environmental studies and more studies, the lights have been installed at Tom Kendall oval,’ says Marc. ‘We were supposed to be consulted about usage but instead we have been dictated to and told that for the time being, the lights can only be turned on from May to September and even then, for only three days a week.’ Many at the club feel that this is yet one more disadvantage to the north of the shire as no other sports field in the area has to adhere to such stringent timetabling on lighting hours. ‘The people of Ocean shores have seen countless studies and ‘work shops’ but decades on – nothing,’ says Marc. ‘Like our third world roads, street lighting and absent foot paths, the small undersized field at New Brighton has no dressing rooms, no showers, no seating, no parking and remains our

tive manager of community infrastructure Phil Holloway said the lights at Tom Kendall Field can be used Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings until 8.30pm. ‘The usage of the lights is in response to the Review of Environment Factors (REF) report which is a required under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act,’ he said. ‘The REF considers social and environmental issues that are specific to a project site and how they can be minimised.’ Mr Holloway said under the Tom Kendall Field management plan, the lights will also be monitored for the next couple of months to record any impacts to the area. ‘The findings will be reported to Council later in the year for discussion. The report will also include options on future light usage for sporting groups.’ Mr Patten would like to see the New Brighton facility come into line with other sporting venues in the shire.’ We have 12 teams, 160 kids, and hundreds supporters at New Brighton, not to mention an overwhelming majority of support from the people of Ocean Shores. This is not the end of the battle. We will keep fighting these ridiculous restrictions and constant hurdles, until the people of Ocean Shores finally get some respect.’ For a bunch of kids the only important outcome on Friday was the result of their game.

Rugby Roundup Bangalow Vs Shiners The Mullum Moonshiners hosted Bangalow on Saturday in the bottom of the table clash. Both teams were looking for their first win. The game started with Mullum gaining the advantage on the back of poor Bangalow discipline. Eventually Bangalow forwards started to get on top – Mullum defended gallantly but the pressure was too much with outside centre Welshman Griff and dynamic new backrow recruit Dougie muscling up to crash over for a try each in the first half. The momentum continued in the second half with flanker Simon Leighton and fullback Nick Horney scoring tries to secure an important bonus point victory 24-0. Bangalow forwards did the job winning the contests. After losing eight players from their squad and six from last year’s starting grand final team, five time premiers Bangalow are rebuilding but the signs are promising.

Byron Bay Vs Yamba In what was expected to be the match of the round Byron Bay and Yamba took each other on at the Byron Rec fields. With both teams possessing agile back lines and forward packs that were not adverse tochancing their arm in broken play, the game was high paced from start to finish. Yamba saw the majority of possession in the first twenty minutes, yet they were thwarted by stoic defence from the home side. A mistake from Byron saw a well executed Yamba counter-attack, which resulted in a 7-0 lead to the visitors. Byron managed one penalty from 2 attempts later in the first half, to trail 7-3 at oranges. The mad pace of the game continued in the second half, with the tempo taking its toll on all players, Byron running four different centre combinations as each back retired to the side lines to fix his hair. Both sides continued to play an open style of game, but it was Yamba’s advantage at the Lockrey/Shelly Clark; Ct 6 Gladiators v Dragonflies ump Eliza Salvatori/Leah Thomas; 1.45 pm: Canteen Classics; Ct1 Drop Bears v Taverners ump Sue H/ Waves; Ct 2 Dunno v Bellas ump Blaze/ Giants; Ct 4 Blueberries v Y Not ump Boosh/OS; Ct 6 Breakers v Dolphins ump Blaze/Waves. 3.15pm: Canteen Taverners; Ct 1 Waves V Giants ump Patsy/Jodi H; Ct 2 Woteva v Boosh ump Sarah D/Drop Bears; Ct 5 Wahoo v Sea Monkeys ump Bellas/Blitz; Ct 6 Classics v Blaze ump Narelle/Jo L; Bye Brazt.

Yamba’s third try, late in the game, sealed what was a good performance from a side that may be the team to beat for the 2010 season. Despite having several good opportunities to score, mistakes from the home team resulted in only one try from three possibles, the final score being 21-10. The result was disappointing for Byron, however the determination, fitness and skill level of this year’s side, the best seen in five years, bode well for the rest of the season. Byron’s forwards, an international love in of Scots, Poms, Chileans, Dutch and the occasional local, provided the equal third best on field, with Chilie and Dutchy played their best games so far this year, something that was critical for the success of the Byron pack. Rafe was dominant in several positions, with his ball carrying from fullback during counter-attacks a stirring sight. The player of the day, although only on for half a game, was Jimmy Cowan’s own love child, Dan, playing after a hard week and only two hours sleep.

Red faced Devils open with scrappy victory Crankin what’s happening in the surf John Campbell

The Byron Bay Red Devils have made a successful but mistake ridden start to their NRRRL season with a 28-18 win over the Murwillumbah Mustangs. They had the quality when needed, but how well the team’s new combinations are being bedded down is yet to be seen, for they dropped as much ball as they held. Looking smarter in red socks after the anaemic white of recent times, Byron got stuck in with vim and vigour, and if their game plan was to surrender possession to the opposition at every opportunity they executed it to perfection. Winger Mitch Loane’s early try was promising, but the visitors immediately profited from the Bay’s slipshod work. With turn-overs giving them field position, the Mustangs’ five-eighth ran wide and passed inside to his hooker who, ten out, strolled through a horribly big hole to score adjacent to the upright. Byron prop Chris Coleman bullocked over to establish a 10-6 lead before the game’s most exciting passage of play. It erupted with a searing

sixty-metre sideline sprint by centre Clarence Kelly. A couple of rucks later, with a Devils try begging, the Mustangs saved themselves through an intercept, only to see their thief in the night run down by Duane Cahill, who value-added to his effort by participating in the ironing out of a Mur’bah support player. The aroused mob gave the tin hoardings a fearful pounding, proving once and

for all there is nothing like seeing the enemy flattened. From the ensuing scrum, dummy-half Peter Flannery delivered a gorgeous ball to captain/coach Simon Kelly – looking leaner this year – who belted downfield before perfectly positioning Brad Lees for an unopposed dash to the line. It was pretty to watch. At 16-6, the Bay nodded off again and the Mustangs’

fullback, causing no end of trouble, took advantage with a chip-and-chase try. The 1612 ledger at oranges seemed fair enough on such a balmy afternoon. Neither side had shown sufficient desire or execution, leading the distracted Old Bloke and his mate next to me to discuss the merits of mullet (‘it’s good Jewfish bait’) and wonder how they might dig up Carl Williams’s coffin – which was not a bad idea, there being precious little gold on the field. The second half was a replica of the first, only with a lanky touchie reminding us that officials are every bit as capable of howlers as players. Mur’bah grabbed the lead on the back of a couple of rude calls and, incensed by proceedings, Simon Kelly took matters into his own hands by running on to a sweet pass from Sam Barnes for a crucial try. Clarence Kelly, who showed glimpses of class, sealed the deal when replacement fiveeighth Jeremy Roberts put him away on a dash to the corner. Elsewhere, the Mullumbimby Giants took a point from the premiers, drawing 22-all with Lower Clarence at Maclean.

No time off for Brunswick SLSC over winter months The 2009-10 SLSC patrol season at Brunswick Heads saw a total of 3128 patrol hours on Brunswick Beach. Volunteers performed 15 rescues, attended to 80 marine stings, administered first aid to a total of 93 people and helped 31 lost children and there were 965 preventative measures performed. The last patrol of the season walked off Brunswick beach as the sun was setting on Anzac day. You might think that the volunteer lifesavers could now have a well earned break during the winter. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Although the flags are not raised on the beach until next spring, your local surf club members will

be very busy during the off season. Starting this month, new members and Nippers in their final year will take part in an eight week course, which will qualify them to patrol the beach. They will spend more than 30 hours learning the theories needed to save lives and putting it all into practice in the water. Current members will be upgrading their qualifications by attending weekend long courses in IRB driving and crew member, as well as updating their first aid and lifesaving skills. Each patrol consists of several members, all of whom must have different qualifications. The patrol captain ensures that

there are enough volunteers with the proper requirements should a rescue situation arise. The club also continues to train for competitions and fitness, with weekly rescue board and ski training. Brunswick also has three boat crews this year, who will be training through winter. Many of our lifesavers also use the club gym to stay fit – lifesavers maintain and upgrade lifesaving equipment during the winter months. The Bruns Nippers will also be keeping busy throughout the winter months. The recent introduction of surfboard riding is proving very popular each Sunday morning and the club’s own learn to swim classes and mini squad training

continues to go from strength to strength. Board training has also recommenced each Saturday afternoon for those members wanting to improve their skills and have fun through the off season. Brunswick SLSC will be working hard outside of the club with some of the exciting community events this winter. Club members will be pitching in to help make the Mullum to Bruns Paddle and the Byron to Bruns Run both fun and safe and they will spend the winter planning their own major fundraiser, the Brunswick SLSC Triathlon which will be held

Matisse has been at the shelter for a while and her situation is getting dire. Matisse needs a kind person who has a real love and understanding of cats. Matisse is loving, inquisitive, warm and affectionate, but out of frustration for her situation she also has moments of sadness and anger, which a cat lover would understand and know how to deal with. We are offering Matisse free to a good and loving home because we, at the shelter, know that in a loving home Matisse would thrive and be a beautiful and loyal companion.

REIA concerned for first home buyers The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has written to the Treasurer, concerned about the recent moves by the major banks to decrease their loan to valuation ratios (LVRs) for first home buyers. ‘The banks have indicated that they have increased the deposit requirements for first home buyers from 10% to at least 15% and in some cases to 20%. Even at 15%, at the current median house price of $514,599, the additional deposit required is almost $26,000,’ said REIA president David Airey.

Properties in focus pages 57

Business Directory page 63

Open Houses, Auctions & New Listings page 63

Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Housing Finance figures for February 2010 have shown that there is an even greater case for the REIA’s argument to address this issue, highlighting a rapid decline in the number of first home buyers, which is a major driver in the decline in overall finance commitments. ‘I am deeply concerned about the impact this will have on first home buyers as they struggle to bridge the deposit gap,’ Mr Airey said. REIA has suggested two proposals for consideration to address the issue. Firstly, the REIA proposes that the First Home Owners Grant be set at $15,000 for all housing, new and established, and that it be indexed to median house price movements annually. This would both address the relative decline in the size of the grant compared to house prices and the increasing deposit gap for first home buyers. The second measure the REIA proposes to address the deposit gap and declining affordability problem is for the Commonwealth Government to allow young Australians to have access to voluntary superannuation contributions, for the purpose of raising a deposit for a first home. The scheme would be an adjunct to the First Home Savers Account but would allow flexibility for the saver to decide whether all or part of the voluntary superannuation payments was needed to augment the home purchase. By limiting the scheme to the voluntary superannuation contributions of first home buyers the integrity of compulsory superannuation would be maintained. ‘This is a very important issue and I hope that the Treasurer will give favourable consideration to the two proposals, aimed at providing a solution to an ever deepening problem for Australia’s first home buyers,’ concluded Mr Airey.

Modest rise in new home sales: HIA The Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) New Home Sales report, a survey of Australia’s large volume residential builders, showed a 0.9 per cent increase in March following a decline of 5.2 per cent in February. The HIA, the voice of Australia’s residential building industry, said the very modest lift in new home sales for March was a disappointing result following a significant decline the previous month. HIA Chief Economist Harley Dale said that rising interest rates and uncertainty over future rate increases in 2010 were weighing heavily on the prospects for a sustained new home building recovery. ‘Rising rates have run headlong into pre-existing supply side obsta-

cles related to land supply, planning delays, and distorting levels of taxation and charges applying to new housing. There also continues to be considerable constraints on the availability of finance for residential development,’ said Mr Dale. ‘This is a weighty confluence of factors for the new home building sector to overcome so that it can continue growing in a post-stimulus environment. ‘Over 2010 to date we have seen a range of housing updates which highlight the risk of the long overdue recovery in new residential construction coming to a premature end. ‘In light of this situation it is timely that the second National Housing Supply Council Report released ear-

lier this week highlighted the need for considerable reform to ensure the adequate provision of land. The recent CoAG endorsement of a housing supply and affordability reform agenda is a very welcome development as the urgency for on-going reform is growing by the day.’ Private sector detached house sales increased by 1.9 per cent in March 2010 while multi-unit sales fell by 8.7 per cent. In March 2010 detached new home sales increased by 2.7 per cent in New South Wales and were up by 5.6 per cent in Victoria, 5 per cent in South Australia, and 0.6 per cent in Western Australia. Sales fell by 3.4 per cent in Queensland.

Backlash supply chains.’ say organisers.

A very pertinent quote from English author G K Chesterton was posted by Robert Blackwell on the Save Shearwater Facebook page: ‘The disadvantage of people [‘men’ in the original] not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone people see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.’ Perhaps it could be taught in class. Q Q Q Q

Hemp Eats Carbon – people on Hemp eat anything, often. Thousands made the annual pilgrimage to Nimbin last weekend to enjoy the heady atmosphere of this year’s Cannabis Law Reform Rally. For the first time the Polite Service members seemed to outnumber the Police Force (just, or perhaps unjust).

When Byron Council GM Graeme Faulkner noted in last week’s Echo that ‘no other senior staff have resigned’ – apart from those mentioned in the story – it seems he forgot Nigel Greenup, the director of Parks and Gardens, who resigned in January this year. It appears a replacement has not been found as yet.

In contrast to Rudd’s backflip with double pike and gratuitous fudging, the recent World People’s Conference on Climate Change (http://pwccc.wordpress.com/) in Bolivia showed genuine concern for Mother Earth. On the website you can read the proposed Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth. It points out the bleeding obvious: you can’t have healthy economy or healthy human rights without a healthy planet.

Q Q Q Q

The world’s greatest moral challenge has turned out to be a matter of expediency for Kevin Rudd, who turns out to be just another politician on the issue of climate change. Let’s all wait around to see which country moves first on the challenge, shall we? We think not. Start at home by using fewer resources and reinforcing your resilience by supporting local suppliers.
