Leaked hospital plans raise questionsHans Lovejoy

Documents leaked to Th e Echo have revealed the proposed new hospital in Ewingsdale will not be built at the preferred site, and will be no better equipped than the current hospitals in Byron and Mullumbimby combined.

Th e leaked document entitled ‘Byron Shire Major Hospital Site,’ was prepared by Lennox-based consultants GeoLink in 2001.

Th e ten-year-old report notes, ‘fa-cilities at both locations are in urgent need of upgrading.’

Both the Shire’s current hospitals provide 54 beds, according to the Department of Health’s website. Th is is also the same number of beds as the proposed Ewingsdale facility.

Currently the land, which was pur-chased by the Health Department in 2006, is being rezoned. Council told Th e Echo they are ‘anticipating it will

be gazetted at the end of September this year.’

Th e client brief, according to the report, is to examine the environ-mental and planning constraints for a proposed hospital site in the north- eastern section of the Shire, and a review of the current Mullumbimby hospital site as a potential site for a major hospital.

It also defines the requirements hospitals need to operate. Th ese in-clude being fl ood free and allowing for future expansion. Water, electric-ity and sewerage also need to be easily connected, as does public transport need to be available or have the po-tential for public transport.

Few areas suitable for hospital sewage

‘Th ere are very few areas suitable for development in regards to hospital

sewage use,’ says the report.‘The areas available are in small

sections around Ocean Shores to the north of the Shire, and at the Mullum-bimby Hospital site where the prop-erty has extra sewage credits available (as of 2001).’

Th e document concludes by saying, ‘In consideration of all the combined core restraints, certain land in Ocean Shores and the Mullumbimby Hospi-tal site are the only sites available in our opinion having regard to relevant environmental planning restraints… as specifi ed by the Northern Rivers Area Health Service, indicating that the Mullumbimby Hospital is a suit-able location for the new Byron Shire major hospital.’

Th e reports states that ‘Mullum has sewage credits for a 42 bed hospital’, though when the report was written in 2001, it operated with 20 beds.

When asked about the diff erence

in beds, the Northern Rivers Health Service told Th e Echo, ‘Mullumbimby & District War Memorial Hospital was built in the early 1960s and re-cords for this period are not readily available. Bed numbers at the hospital have been at or around 28 for the last eighteen to twenty years.’

Th e direct question regarding what the rooms are being used for was un-answered by the media spokesperson.

They did, however, explain the amalgamation of the two hospitals.

‘By bringing the two hospitals to-gether, there will not only be the same services available, but greater fl exibil-ity in how these services are provided to patients due to the larger critical mass of the facility.

‘For example, the emergency de-partment will provide 24 hour on-site medical cover.’

Th e concern that emergency cases would still have to be transported to Tweed will remain but be less com-mon, according to the spokesperson.

‘When the new Byron Shire Hospital is operating, fewer emergencies will be transported to the Tweed Hospital.’

MP Don Page responds State MP Don Page told Th e Echo,

‘Th ere have been many things hap-pen since 2001. Th e initial impetus for thinking in terms of a larger, better hospital at Ewingsdale started around the time it was discovered Mullum-bimby Hospital had serious asbestos problems in its roof and had to be closed so the asbestos could be con-tained.

‘Th e Health Department believed that it would be better to have one bigger better hospital servicing Byron Shire than two smaller hospitals and commenced a community consulta-tion process. A community committee from both the north and south of the Shire was formed and they agreed to support a larger, new, better hospital off ering more services for Byron Shire residents. Current beds in Mullum-bimby are 26 but only 16 are funded.

Byron Bay Hospital has 28 but only 18 are funded. Th e new Central Hospital will have at least 54 beds. No hospital will close until a new Central Hospital is open.

‘Once a new Central Hospital is built there will be community health centres in Mullumbimby, Ocean Shores and Byron Bay. A new ambulance station will be built there as soon as the rezon-ing process is completed in a month or so. Funding for the ambulance station is in the current state budget and can be spent immediately. Th ere will be transport diffi culties for those with-out a car or access to a car but one of the criteria was to have a site which is readily available by ambulance for emergencies so a site near the high-way was deemed to be desirable. As the Health Service has pointed out, patients going to hospital do not do so on a regular basis and are almost always travelling by car with a friend or family member.

‘Th e Coalition, if elected on March 26, has indicated we will complete the planning process including an updated service plan, costings, etc so the project is “shovel ready”,’ Mr Page said.

In related news, a Tamworth hospi-tal plan has been accepted as eligible for $220 million funding under the federal government’s Health and Hos-pital Fund. Th e announcement was made by the Independent Member for New England, Tony Windsor.

An eighty-year-old Suffolk Park woman says she ‘got a nasty shock’ on Friday morn-ing from a letterbox drop aimed at property owners.

‘A leaflet appears to have been distributed all along the beach side of Suff olk,’ she told The Echo, ‘telling residents their property would be worth-less, unsaleable and need to be demolished if Council’s coastal management plan, CZMP, is adopted.

‘I’ve lived here for 25 years,’ she said, ‘And in that time I have seen one line of dunes vanish and then seen it come back again. I was also involved in the fi rst Dunecare Associa-tion and I don’t see it disap-pearing in my lifetime.

‘It’s a frightening and dis-turbing thing to send around,’ she says. ‘It’s trying to scare people into supporting them.’

Th e leafl et was produced by

the Byron Preservation Asso-ciation (BPA), which includes some residents that are taking Byron Council to court over what they say is the lack of compensation and response to beach erosion on private property.

BPA’s Geoff Tauber told Th e Echo he had got a good re-sponse for the letterbox drop and had not encountered any negativity.

‘It appears not many people in Suff olk Park are aware of the Planned Retreat Policy that is being put forward by Council,’ he said. ‘Th e Suff olk Park Pro-gress Association, the president and board, are fully aligned with Council and Jan Barham’s plan, which will also apply to Suff olk Park.

‘Under the policy, property owners cannot protect them-selves from erosion, and cannot claim for compensation. If this came in it would devalue all beach frontage property.’

Suff olk leafl et shocks elderly womanThe Brunswick Heads com-munity is ready to play host to Kites and Bikes, described as ‘maybe the best kids’ day out in the region’, on Sunday March 27.

‘You can expect high energy, colour, magic and fun in Brun-swick’s parks and on the beach,’ say organisers.

‘Th e bridge will be adorned with feathers hand painted by local schools, large sea crea-tures will fly from the foot-bridge and the Windgarden leads the way to the commu-nity food stalls for cheap eats

and the market stalls.‘If you don’t have a kite to

fl y, you can make and deco-rate one at the Housie Shed from 9 to 12, and then join in the kite fl ying in the park with Mick Ayo.

Quite a few volunteers, espe-cially those who love working with children, are needed to help out with activities on the day. If you can spare an hour or two please call Michelle on 66851 003. Th e program, infor-mation and registration details can be found on the website www.kitesandbikes.com.au.

Th e Livestock Health and Pest Authority (LHPA), along with other government and com-munity groups, are calling on the public to report wild dogs sightings and attacks.

According to LHPA, report-ing helps to measure and al-locate funds and will establish

a database of wild dogs in the area. Please contact LHPA’s Neil Hing via email on [email protected].

To assist with future funding applications, please also email Wendy Gibney, Council’s Com-munity Support Offi cer on [email protected].

The response to the sale of Sunnybrand has been as rare as hens’ teeth.

Inghams has, however, con-fi rmed the takeover of the By-ron-based company.

According to their website, Inghams Enterprises Pty Ltd ‘is Australia’s largest poultry pro-ducer of meat and layer chick-ens and turkey.’

A telephonist, who sound-ed like she had repeated the same message many times, was much less warm and fuzzy than some of the company’s television commercials would suggest.

She told The Echo, ‘All we will say is that we’ve made an off er to Sunnybrand and the stakeholders have accepted.’

It appeared a standard re-sponse to all media.

Sunnybrand CEO Bob Hansen spent most of Monday in meetings, and though the response from the Ewingsdale Road factory was much more polite, it was no more informa-tive than Inghams’ – it would appear that both businesses plan to keep the details of the takeover under wraps.

Sunnybrand is perhaps one of the biggest employers in the Shire, with around 350 people on the payroll.

Libs/Nats will help small biz: PageShadow Minister for Small Business Don Page has out-lined the Nationals/Liberals policy for Small Business if elected on March 26.

According to Mr Page, the Nationals/Liberal parties want to give small business people and their employees ‘a real voice’ in government across all portfolios.

The parties will appoint a Small Business Commissioner who will advocate on behalf of small businesses in NSW across all government agen-cies; resolve disputes between small businesses and govern-ment agencies, including local government; identify unfair market practices by big busi-ness against small business; and determine and monitor the cost of regulation and make

sure new regulation is not im-pacting negatively on small and medium businesses.

‘We will also cut red tape by 20 per cent in our first term of government, stream-line business licensing by making all business licence applications and renewals available on a single website, facilitate regular and genuine consultation between small business and government and make government agen-cies pay their bills within 30 days,’ Mr Page said.

Mr Page also said small businesses would benefit from the Nationals/Liberals Jobs Action Plan, which cre-ates 100,000 jobs across NSW, 40,000 of which are quaran-tined to regional areas includ-ing the north coast.

Organisers of International Women’s Day activities at the Mullumbimby Neigh-bourhood Centre were very pleased to see over 100 visi-tors to the opening of the art exhibition, ‘A Tribute to Women’.

‘We had 30 entries which in-cluded 22 photos, three mixed media pieces and five paint-ings,’ said organiser and MC Neroli Jager.’

Shea O’Toole played guitar, Cara Maku Byron Shire Youth Citizen of the Year spoke about what IWD means to young women, and local storyteller Jenni Carghill-Strong, a local storyteller, spoke about her great grandmother.

Th ere were many touching stories of lives cut short, men-tors in our community, stories of courage to overcome ill-nesses, stories of support and friendship.

Deborah Gower, and her piece entitled ‘Would you like a cup of tea?’ created a lot of interest, and is a thank you to the women of Mullumbimby.

‘When I fi rst came to Mul-lum seven years ago, I only knew one person,’ says the

artist. ‘But so many women across the shire, through the school, bingo, behind shop counters, at street stalls, at the Post Office, neighbours, the bowlo or in so many other chance meetings – they took the time to say hello.

‘It is these women that have

made Mullum the beautiful community it is.

‘Every day women in Mul-lum take the time to smile, say hello or reach out and welcome newcomers.’

Ms Gower said there is often little recognition for women that go about their

everyday lives looking aft er their family and friends and still fi nding time for a chat with newcomers.

The exhibition will be open on Thursday 17 and 24 and Monday 21 from 10am to 4pm at the Neighbourhood Centre.

Comments made by Don Page in last week’s Echo appear to be designed to confuse, says Independent Karin Kolbe.

‘The Auditor General’s Re-port he referred to is a reflec-tion of what the current ALP government has delivered.

‘Similarly voters should not be fooled by re-announcements of road funding delivered by the federal and state Labor govern-ments as referred to by Don.’

Pork barrelling Independent seats

Ms Kolbe claims Nats/Lib funding, that would otherwise have been delivered for the Ballina electorate, was being used to win rural seats cur-rently held by independents and Western Sydney seats held by the ALP.

The real question, according to Ms Kolbe, is what is Don Page going to do for the Bal-lina electorate if he wins the seat of Ballina.

‘The answer is precious little because the North Coast Na-tionals have been sidelined in the rush to pork barrel seats held by independents.

‘My reference to hospital funding for seats held by inde-pendents, should the coalition win the upcoming election,

demonstrates this. ‘Don proudly takes credit on

behalf of the Nationals for the $225 million funding for hospi-tals in Port Macquarie, Dubbo and Tamworth, all in seats cur-rently held by independents.’

She says that the new Byron hospital still remains unfunded.

Broken rail promises‘It’s the same story on rail.

The Coalition say they will be building two new rail links and funding new public transport in Sydney during their first term, but there is not a single specific commitment to build new rail or public transport infrastruc-ture beyond Sydney.’

Ms Kolbe points to com-ments to the media in June 2006 by the then Deputy Liberal Leader and Shadow Transport Spokesperson Bar-ry O’Farrell.

‘A passenger train service between Casino and Murwil-lumbah would not have to turn a profit and could be reinstated within three weeks of a Coali-tion victory…’

Furthermore, a 2007 elec-tion policy document by the Coalition, ‘Getting the North Coast back on track – a com-muter rail service between Casino – Murwillumbah and the Gold Coast,’ highlights the Coaltiion’s call for action on rail.

‘In government,’ it says, ‘we

will commit $100 million over four years for the reinstatement of services, including necessary upgrades to the line and ongo-ing maintenance.’

Dispute over Auditor’s Report

‘A few things that Don Page didn’t mention about the Audi-tor General’s report is that it covers only grants, not all ser-vices,’ she says.

‘In 2007-2008 this amounted to only 12 per cent of gener-al government expenditure.

‘Significantly, the report states on page 28, “Regional and rural respondents were the most dissatisfied with the tar-geting of grants. Many com-mented that grant programs neglected infrastructure re-newal which was their com-munities’ greatest need.”

‘As data is grouped in regions, there is nothing to show how the Ballina electorate has fared.

‘If Don were to take account of all government expenditure then it is highly unlikely that he could present such a rosy picture, especially considering the lack of public transport and underfunded health services faced by our community.’

The Audtor’s report is at www.audit.nsw.gov.au/publications/reports/performance/2009/grants/grants-contents.htm.

Could have done more in opposition

‘There’s always more that can be done to further a cause beyond writing media releases in reaction to the government or TOOT; he could have held meetings with ministers or de-partmental heads, asked pointy questions in parliament, asked questions at Estimates Com-mittee Hearings, worked with business, tourist and commu-nity groups, organised a joint forum across the three elector-ates, made representations to the federal government.

‘In particular, he could have worked harder with the previ-ous federal coalition govern-ment to get funding.

‘It is notable that when the NSW government offered 50/50 funding in 2006, the lo-cal Nationals dismissed it out of hand rather than work with the Feds to get the money.

‘I think its up to him to ex-plain what he did whilst in gov-ernment all those years ago.

‘I do know that it was coali-tion government in 1990 that replaced the popular surf train with the XPT, and put it on an unsuitable timetable that made it a less useful service for locals.

‘The fundamental question right now is why have they re-neged on their 2007 promise to run at least six service per day?’

Is Don Page taking the Ballina electorate for granted?Independent Kolbe calls on MP’s broken promises, inaction and spin-cycle politics

During his launch speech at Ballina recently, Greens candi-date Simon Richardson spoke of key issues for the electorate.

They included increasing funding for dental care to match that of Queensland and the establishment of mobile dental units to reach rural and disadvantaged groups.

Mr Richardson, a Byron Shire councillor, also said the Greens would repeal Part 3A of the Environment Planning and Assessment Act – Local Government, ‘as the level of government closest to people should be the powerhouse be-hind decisions which reflect the needs and wants of com-

munities within our elector-ate. We should have a say in how our area is developed.’

Climate change is also a major issue for the Greens.

‘If anyone has even the slightest inkling that climate change is real, they have a moral duty to their children and all those who come after us to vote Green, because the greens were the first to iden-tify the problem, the first to call for action, the first to pro-vide solutions and the only party to have the courage and vision to create the change to allow society to deal with it,’ said Mr Richardson.

He also said, ‘The time for

action in getting trains and a light rail commuter service onto our tracks is now. The Greens have been consistent advocates for prioritising rail over road, train over truck.’

When it comes to our

young, ‘only one party, the Greens, thinks it is unfair that today’s teenagers are demon-ised. That’s why consulting with children and young peo-ple is essential to ascertaining what is in their best interests.’

The Green vision: Simon Richardson

SOLUTIONS TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

Minister for Community Ser-vices, Linda Burney, last week announced new funding for community organisations that work with vulnerable fami-lies and other disadvantaged groups in Ballina and Tweed.

‘Ballina District Community Services Assoc Inc will receive $45,500 in new annual funding for additional early interven-tion and prevention programs for children, young people and families,’ said Ms Burney.

‘This new money is in ad-dition existing funding of $184,585 for the Ballina/Byron Family Centre Inc and $160,814 for Ballina District Community Services Assoc Inc.’

At the time of the an-nouncement Duty MLC for Ballina and Tweed, Shaoquett Moselmane, said that commu-nity and neighbourhood cen-tres in the Ballina and Tweed areas will receive over $1.2 million in existing and new funding over the next year to further their work with strug-gling families and other vul-nerable groups.

‘Th e funded organisations will work closely with other services to make appropriate referrals for families to spe-cialist services for help with health, drug and alcohol, fam-ily violence or other issues,’ he said.

In their latest production, the Ballina Players theatre group explore diff erent ways of deal-ing with grief and loss through humour and sympathy.

Aft er playing in New York, Ivan Menchell’s The Cem-etery Club was released as a movie in 1993. It starred Ellen Burstyn, Olympia Dukakis and Diane Ladd.The synopsis is about three

widows who met monthly to visit their husbands’ graves.

By far the most committed to this ritual is Doris (Diana Mason). She trims the ivy on the headstone and chats with her late husband Abe, catch-ing him up on the gossip and showing him photos of their grandchild.

Th ough he has been gone for four years, this routine is how

Doris sees her future.Doris looks on disapprov-

ingly, while Ida starts to think of romance and Lucille freneti-cally chases men.

Th ese three Jewish New Yor-kers are strong and interesting women, and their interactions are lively, sometimes fi ery and frequently funny.

Th e play is directed by Allen Ennew, and will be staged at

the Players Th eatre, Swift St, from March 25 to April 9.

A limited number of tick-ets are available for opening night on Friday March 25. It will be a black tie event, with catering, champagne and a chance to meet the cast after the show.

Tickets are available at Just Funkin Music or by phoning 6686 2440.

Skate park for Lennox

Construction of Lennox Head skate park has commenced and should take about six weeks, according to the Ballina-based company Oasis Skate Parks. The same company built the Brunswick Heads park, and company director David Clancy told The Echo it should be complete by early April.

Federal MP Justine Elliot has announced a payment increase for pensioners.

‘From March 20, age, dis-ability and carer pensioners and veterans’ income support recipients living on the North Coast will receive an extra $13.20 a fortnight for singles on

the maximum rate, and $19.80 a fortnight for couples com-bined on the maximum rate,’ Justine said.

She claims that it will ben-efit 28,000 pensioners and the indexation increase was a result of wages growth in the six months to November 2010.

Pensioners receive more allowance

Overseas visitors have spent a total of $149 million – an in-crease of $16 million or 12 per cent – while in the Northern Rivers in 2010, according to the December 2010 Interna-tional Visitor Survey released by Tourism Research Australia last week.

‘This is a good result for our region and shows that tourism keeps Northern Riv-ers businesses in business and employing people,’ said Northern Rivers Tourism CEO Russell Mills.

‘It also validates our con-tinued investment in interna-tional marketing with tourism industry partners to attract in-ternational travellers.’

The research report, pub-lished by the Department of Resources, Energy and Tour-ism, shows that there were 235,000 international visitors to the Northern Rivers in 2010.

The increased financial contribution made by those visitors is due largely to an increase in their average length of stay from eight to nine nights.

Northern Rivers Tourism re-cently announced a $220,000 tourism campaign to attract travellers from Malaysia and Singapore to the region in partnership with low cost air-line Air Asia X, supported by Tourism New South Wales and Gold Coast Airport.

Independent candidate for Ballina, Karin Kolbe, has an-nounced how she would work towards comprehensive new deal for young people.

‘Young people are our fu-ture,’ Ms Kolbe said, ‘yet they continue to be disadvantaged by a lack of access to a range of services. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high.

‘Too many young people continue to be killed on our roads due to inadequate public transport. Access to employ-ment, education and training opportunities remain limited and are oft en out of reach due to the high cost and travel times of limited public transport.

‘Too few mental health ser-vices mean that young people and their families oft en have to reach crisis point before any support is provided.

‘Young people deserve a fair go and if elected, I will work towards increasing the number and range of TAFE training places, overcoming the lack of transport services through the establishment of commuter rail and more bus services, reducing public transport fares for young people, helping businesses pro-vide more traineeships and apprenticeships, and getting recurring funding to our early intervention mental health and family support services.’

Byron Shire Brand Project

Victoria Cosford

Possum Creek-based Ruth Rich has been running art re-treats for the last 11 years un-der the banner of Art Retreats International, taking small groups to locations like Moroc-co, New York and Paris, where they ‘train’ under prominent artists.

Is art your background?I did an art degree in the 60s

at RMIT (Melbourne) then did sculpture and illustration at Prahran Tech.

Th en I did lots of counselling training including Hoff mann training. I came up to Byron Bay in 1987, working mainly as a massage therapist – but I also brought up the Hoff mann Process.

I brought it out from Ameri-ca and it consisted of seven-day

residentials, with facilitators brought over from America.

It was a program no-one had ever heard of – but I just knew I could do it, I had such a passion for it. Th rough that I learned how to promote.

I eventually sold the busi-ness, but it’s still going. Th en I went into counselling, relation-ship work mostly.

So the residentials and the promoting could be seen as your grounding, in a way, for the art retreats?

Well, in 2000 I realised I wanted to get back into art. I saw a sign saying Art Work-shops – I always ride a good feeling and had a feeling about this.

I was one of three chosen out of a hat. (Artist) Michael John Taylor gave me the job pro-moting his workshops – he’s

such an amazing mentor. He was teaching me about

art promotion, and I ended up running 30 art workshops a year, in Byron as well as Bris-bane and the Gold Coast. Th en I went to Uluru and put togeth-er a retreat with (artist) Eliza-beth Cummings. It was such a wonderful experience that I decided it was all I wanted to do. Th at was 18 months ago.

So was that when you launched Art Retreats International?

Yes, and all the retreats sold out. I was on a wonderful mo-mentum, off ering the very best of the best, the best facilitators, venues, countries.

Th ey are all thoroughly re-searched and I do all the re-search. It’s like a good painting – it’s process-oriented and it’s getting in the zone.

How do you work out the destinations?

It’s an organic process – I start off and I have to be wise in matching the artist to the destination.

So for example James Guppy would like to go to Italy – so that’s on the cards. Morocco was a combination of writing and art. (Writer Barry Divola came along.) I don’t cook the whole thing up immediately; I allow a lot of unknowns to

come together. Until then you’re in a process, it’s un-known. We’re doing one in Paris soon because Wendy Sharpe contacted me – that’s how a lot of things happen, they come to me.

What sort of people do you attract?

Th ey’re usually between 45 and 60 and it’s mostly women, occasionally men. Husbands can come too!

It’s a good mix of people, be-tween ten to twelve. For half of them the money’s no problem – some of them are so keen to go with a particular artist to that particular location that they’ll spend all their savings.

Are they amateurs or professionals themselves?

It’s a mixture. If they’re ama-teurs, with a good teacher who knows how to help, you go a long way, you are shown what you can do.

I think we’re very unfor-giving of ourselves. Everyone comes away with something from these retreats.

One of our teachers’ great strengths is that they’re not technically oriented so it’s about fi nding your own mark, your own signature, what you want to express. Th e teachers will draw it out of you.

Ecological restoration work is underway at the endangered Byron Bay Dwarf Graminoid Clay Heath at Paterson Hill, below Pacifi c Vista Drive and behind Clarkes Beach.

Council’s executive man-ager of planning and envi-ronment Ray Darney said the work is being undertaken as part of the Bush Futures re-generation program. ‘As a re-sult, the licensed bush regen-eration team have poisoned a number of trees on Council-managed Crown land at Pat-erson Hill,’ Mr Darney said.

Mr Darney said all work be-ing undertaken is guided by a management plan which was prepared by a consultant with

recognised expertise in spe-cifi c regard to this ecological community.

‘The bush regeneration contractors undertaking the on-ground work are highly ex-perienced and hold a licence under the Th reatened Species Conservation Act to carry out bush regeneration activities.’

Th e aim of the plan is to re-store the structure, function, dynamics and integrity of the clay heath vegetation and the habitats they support.

Visitor impacts at the site in-clude the creation of informal walking tracks which trample the clay heath plants, cause erosion and can introduce weeds.

At 12, going on 13 years of age, Azlan Currie understands the complexities of planning for the future.

Azlan, who lives in Brun-swick Heads, is preparing to give a talk at the Taking Care of Brunswick Expo on Saturday March 19, being held at Brun-swick Public School between 10am and 3pm.

According to organisers, Th e Expo is an opportunity for everyone who cares about Brunswick Heads to connect with each other, get inspired and take a look ‘over the hori-zon’ in preparation for devel-oping Brunswick’s next fi ve-year community plan over coming months.

Azlan offers some ad-vice: ‘If you change things about the place too much, you might have to sacrifi ce other things that are already good about it. In an attempt to make it better, you might make it worse. Th ink about

all the consequences of what-ever decisions you make. You need to take into account the points of view of every diff er-ent group of people: students, business owners, tourists and other people who live here, so that it will work out better for everyone.

‘Th e Expo has an outstand-ing line-up of people giving talks and workshops, plus community displays and edu-cational exhibits which will offer inspiration, ideas and practical information on all sorts of topics ranging from innovative sustainability solu-tions, social enterprise, public arts and creativity, diff erent ways of growing and sharing food, to the value of biodiver-sity, local history, community connectedness and business success,’ say organisers.

‘I really want to see this site used as a tool for strengthen-ing and activating the Rainbow Region spirit,’ says Narada.

‘As far as I know, there are no similar community event

This is the second ‘classifi ed/coupon’ advertisement we have placed in The Echo, the other was in December 2010, and last time we were surprised with the number of customers who discovered the range of products we sell. Many of the people who came in to our store for the fi rst time were amazed at the size of the shop; they just didn’t know that it wraps around behind Woolworths and that our shelves extend to the ceiling. (Yes you need a ladder to get to some of the stock.) So we regularly heard the expression ‘I didn’t know you had...’.FOR SALE – This business is now for sale... the advertisement in the bottom right hand corner of the page elicited quite a few questions, the most common being ‘Is the shop really for sale?’ The answer is yes.

Comment

Has Australian politics ever been more de-pressing?

If the polls are to be believed (and there’s no cogent reason to reject them) both major par-ties are now led by people we find increasingly distasteful, so much so that we would far rather return to their prede-cessors – the men dumped by their respective factional boss-es. Julia Gillard is now running a clear second to Kevin Rudd among the mass of voters, while Tony Abbott is even fur-ther behind Malcolm Turnbull.

In Gillard’s case just a third of those surveyed by the Niels-en poll want her as head of the ALP, four per cent less than plump for Rudd; her only con-solation is that the front run-ners from the next generation, Greg Combet and Bill Shorten, are a long way behind on nine per cent each.

At first glance, Abbott’s po-sition is even worse; not only is his net approval rating well down at minus nine (Gillard’s is now a flat zero) but Turn-bull has 37 per cent support as leader to his own 31 per cent, and Joe Hockey is running a very respectable third with 25 per cent.

But the truth is that neither leader is in any immediate dan-ger, because a lot of the surge for their rivals comes from those on the other side of poli-tics. Among supporters of their own parties, Gillard and Abbott both have comfortable leads of 19 per cent, and in fact the ad-vantage is even greater because they are elected not by their parties as a whole, but by their parliamentary party rooms.

In spite of Gillard’s awful polls, there is no inclination in the Labor caucus to return to Rudd; in his time as leader he made too many enemies and since being deposed he has made little attempt to mend the

fences. Indeed, he has probably alienated the party room still further by maintaining a high public profile; for Rudd to be so clearly relishing his role as foreign minister and making such a success of it is seen al-most as a mark of disloyalty at time when his successor con-tinues to flounder in the role of Prime Minister.

And Abbott is even safer; while he may be personally

on the nose with the elector-ate, his party as a whole is not; the same polls show that the Coalition’s lead over Labor is actually widening as Abbott’s own popularity shrinks. With an eight point lead after pref-erences, the Libs are not about to move for a spill. So much as we may dislike them and prefer their eagerly available alternatives we are stuck with the odd couple for the foresee-able future. And that’s the good news. The bad news is that we are also stuck with their poli-cies, which in Gillard’s case are unsaleable and Abbott’s case untenable.

We are, of course, talking about climate change, which increasingly is the only politi-cal game in town. The com-mentators are quite right when they say Gillard will stand or fall by her ability to impose a carbon tax, not only because of the intrinsic importance of the issue, but because she has nothing else to offer; there are no other significant reforms within sight. The only pos-

sibility is the Murray Darling basin, but the problems there are still a very long way from resolution and indeed may still prove as intractable as the min-ing tax.

At least with climate change she has the outline of a plan, and a coherent – indeed, ir-refutable – case. Yet she seems totally unable to pursue it with either consistency or persua-siveness. It should be simple;

climate change is real and man-made emissions are a major cause. Even Abbott now admits this – or at least claims to. The only remaining deniers are people like former TV entertainer Clive James and former reactionary Senator Nick Minchin, both of whose populist ravings are treated by a credulous media with the same respect accorded to cli-mate scientists who have made a career-long, rigorous study of the available evidence and pronounced it more compel-ling with every year.

Climate change cannot be prevented altogether, let alone reversed, but it can be limited, and sane governments will do what they can to limit it – as is increasingly happening. It is no longer a matter of Aus-tralia leading, but of keeping up. Even China, for so long a recalcitrant, is now coming to the party.

And the Gillard plan, the first step towards a market-based trading scheme, is both simple and logical: tax the polluters,

but give some of it back as a subsidy to those whose abil-ity to compete on the export market would be affected. The others will put up domestic prices to protect their profits, so most of the remaining tax will be distributed to consumers as offsets. But this, scream the neo-conservative economists, amounts to a redistribution of income from the rich to the poor. True, but it’s a relatively minor one, and given that the trend has been massively the other way in recent times, the rich can hardly complain. Any money left over will be spent on developing renewable energy, the long-term solution.

Abbott’s unwavering line is that a carbon tax will push up the cost of living; well, it will push up the cost of carbon, but that is the point. His own, far more costly, alternative is to throw huge sums of taxpayers’ money at selected polluters and unproven carbon storage projects in the hope that they will achieve the same emis-sion reductions as the govern-ment plan.

Expert opinion is that they won’t, but that isn’t the point: Abbott does not need a genuine policy, just a political response. After that he can rely on the big polluters (pretending, dis-honestly, to speak for the entire business community) to back him in what is a purely nega-tive campaign. And he is win-ning it, and will continue to do so unless and until Gillard and her climate change minis-ter Greg Combet, who is both smart and persistent and also his side’s best hope, get off their arses and take off the gloves.

Against Abbott, logic and reason will not prevail; they are a necessary start, but in the end only an all-in maul will suffice. And who knows? Win-ning it might even push Gillard ahead of Rudd. Wouldn’t that be something.

Congratulations to Donald Loftus Page on his impending victory in the seat of Ballina.

Eleven years was a long time in opposition, so I am sure it has given him ample time to prepare ‘shovel-ready’ policies that will enable him to immediately deliver whatever it is he will deliver.

So far he hasn’t really said what that will be, apart from not allowing B-triples on the highway and a rail study.

With a solid lead of 14 per cent, we might as well be resigned to it; he can just sit tight-lipped and not say a word. I saw this in 2010 with Justine Elliot. She sat silently while Independents imploded around her at a meet-the-candidates meeting.

Well done, Simon Richardson (Greens) and Karin Kolbe (Independent), for putting up real issues and increasing the profile of people who genuinely want to safeguard the environment rather than selling it off.

There were a couple of other candidates who were mainly bothered about what God thinks about our sex lives, oh and Labor put up a 23-year-old candidate whose name I forget.

So anyway Don… in case you missed it, there’s no public transport here. Capisce? There’s a dire need for better hospital and health facilities. According to The North Coast Environment Council (NCEC ), your environmental policy is ‘all fluff but no backbone.’ No-one I know in my age group (Gen X) can afford a house in this place, and the rents here are like Sydney but the wages aren’t. But thanks for the highway, it’s great, I really like it.

Over the next four years some vision and policies would be useful.Hans Lovejoy, editor

Byron DividedIt is disappointing that a group with the name Byron United would create separation and divisiveness in the community about carving up the dollar pie from business. Local markets have for millennia been the gathering place for much more than cash transactions. Folk meet and greet, have a cuppa together, hear local news and who needs help in the commu-nity, encourage donations for worthy causes, listen to local musicians, as well as support local and grassroots craft s, arts, foods and industries, which

is the way of the past and the way of post-industrialist future. Grassroots enterprises and markets give much more back to the community than multi-nationals and I might suggest have more ‘right’ to operate in their own backyard.

I come from a part of the community which is aware that unlimited more-ism creates peaks and crashes in cash fl ow (capitalism) and is prepared to live a bit leaner in order to maintain a middle path of sus-tainability. If there are more businesses than we can sustain in Byron, then please, don’t

keep bringing more people. We have enough stress on ratepay-ers to sustain local infrastruc-ture as it is. At some point we need to reach a plateau and level out with what is sustainable.

Byron United, live up to your name. Avoid poverty con-sciousness which spawns greed. New-paradigm business think-ing says know there is enough for everyone and there will be.

EyesoresEach week there appears to be a new residential eyesore being

built on the hills in our beauti-ful countryside. What can we do to minimise the imposition on everyone else of these huge houses being built by people with too much money, too lit-tle taste and even less concern for everyone else? Perhaps Council could automatically convert all approved plans into feet rather than metres. If this is not possible could we at least have some conditions set that ensure building colours fi t into the hillside and not stand out like the proverbial?

More square metres leads to more cost of your house. Consider the wall thickness. A 270mm wide cavity brick wall can add about 7.5m2 of extra concrete and roof compared to a 90mm stud external wall (110m2 house). Th at is about $10,000 extra cost or less inter-nal space! Seventy millimetre wide internal walls instead of 90mm walls in the same house can save $2,800 in extra con-crete and roof or bigger rooms and there is cheaper framing as well!

Try to enter into the middle of your building as then the distance to all rooms is short-est, creating bigger rooms. Place access along the side of spaces and then corridors may not be necessary, creating bigger rooms again. Consider low-cost materials used in in-teresting ways, eg fi bre cement cladding, battens, Colorbond, recycled timber, gal wire bal-ustrading, gal pipe handrails, insulated translucent plastic claddings for windows, site rocks, etc. Used in a consid-

ered, aesthetic way simple materials can be practical and very attractive.

Passive solar design doesn’t cost any more but saves ongo-ing heating and cooling costs. Solar electricity returns cash during the life of your building while no other building com-ponent does. Consider long-term benefi ts of going off grid.

A separate addition to your existing house is often the cheapest addition as it doesn’t involve much alteration to your existing house. Build in stages to spread costs. Ask-ing an architect and a builder to together work out the best quality for your budget creates a united force to work in the best interests of your house procurement.

Th e term ‘aff ordable housing’ is surely an oxymoron in this day and age and monumentally so in this part of the world.

In past times communities looked to their councils to

provide this basic need, with council-built housing estates sometimes succeeding but more oft en than not turning into ghettos, sometimes multi-storied and invariably bland to the point of ugly.

In a perfect world a regional council like ours would form a partnership with a developer/s, make land available, ideally close to amenities, and facili-tate the building of compact, effi cient, people-friendly hous-ing. Perhaps a modern version of the terrace concept achiev-ing economy of scale with ser-vices, transport, recreation, etc. At more than 20 dwellings to the acre, the savings are po-tentially enormous and can be passed on to the purchaser who then also wouldn’t have the additional burden of a huge garden to fence and maintain, as well as being in walking or cycling range of shops, parks, etc.

Th is is obviously not for ev-eryone but for young couples starting out and for older people moving into retirement

they would be ideal. We have the knowledge and the tech-nology to do this right.

Of course as a last resort there is always the totalitarian camp model where young and old can share bunkhouses in a beautiful gated compound enjoying communal dining, ablutions and joyous working bees under the watchful eye of security personnel.

I don’t for a moment believe that placing a prohibition on holiday letting will aff ect the rental situation in the shire. It’s unAustralian. These are mostly upper middle to high end properties anyway, on which the owners have to re-alise optimum rents in order to maintain the properties and pay their massive mortgages.

They will be forced to go underground and join the pot smokers, illegal caravan and camper livers, transsexu-als, right-wing councillors and other fringe dwellers of our increasingly intolerant society.

bringing the Byron Bay Inter-national Film Festival to the people of the Shire! What a truly fabulous event it has been and what a joy to be exposed to such quirky and quality world cinema.

Th e smiles on the faces of the people exiting the session I attended refl ected the value of the work J’aimee has obviously put in over the past year to get this up and running. What was particularly attractive about it

was the ease of seeing indi-vidual sessions at extremely aff ordable prices, unlike some fi lm festivals in the capital cit-ies. Th e excellent quality of the sound and the large screen at the Community Centre pro-vided an intimate cinematic experience. Thanks also to the volunteer ushers who wel-comed everyone to the venue.

It’s sometimes easy to forget what an amazing place Byron Bay is and how blessed we are with the variety and quality of

festivals that are on off er here. I can’t wait for the Byron Writ-ers Festival, beginning August 5, and can only say to anyone who hasn’t been to one before – get off your bums early! be-cause, it, too, is a huge treat!

Th anks again, J’aimee. I look forward to next year’s program.

Sun bistro fearsTh e Sun Bistro project archi-tect Dan Connolly advises in last week’s Echo he wants to provide a ‘great venue for fami-lies’. How can a pub be a great venue for families?

Dan also states, ‘everybody understands that alcohol has its negatives’. I fi nd this a very condescending statement and if he really understood the neg-ative aff ects alcohol can cause a family then there is no way he would be putting the words ‘pub’ (he calls it Th e Sun) and ‘great venue for families’ in the same paragraph.

I am not against licensed venues, this town is full of li-censed venues – I just think we don’t need more and I don’t think it’s appropriate to label them as family friendly places.

What our families need is a community centre, a place where they can access services and information to help deal with the increasing number of social issues small coastal communities face. I believe a pub will exacerbate social problems including unem-

ployment (a few lowly paid jobs is not helping unemploy-ment), affordable housing/homelessness, rising health (emotional and physical) costs and daily living costs.

I am a supporter of the By-ron art scene and have seen many artists pushed out of the community because of high living costs – we are losing our soul. The Arts and Industry Park is an area where creativ-ity still exists in this fast devel-oping corporate/mono town. I fear what ‘gentrifi cation’ will do to this community.

If the developers really want to ‘develop’ our town and pro-vide ‘great venues for families’ then please do some research

and look at the needs of the residents – not the needs of their bank accounts.

Safe medicineRegarding the ‘Local Profile’ item on Adam Osborne in last week’s edition of The Echo, there is a particular comment that I feel cannot go unchal-lenged. Adam is quoted as say-ing, ‘... so, while still keeping people in a safe and grounded situation with western medi-cine, I am able to give them the benefi ts of ancient healing techniques.’ Th is statement im-plies that western medicine is ‘safe and grounded’, while ori-

ental medicine is not, or is less so. I refute this implication.

As far as safety is concerned (even leaving aside the huge is-sues of adverse eff ects of phar-maceuticals and the risks and damage inherent in many west-ern medical treatments), acu-puncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine are very safe when practised properly by a trained practitioner. Th ey are ‘ground-ed’ in millennia of empirical testing by millions of people.

Th eir degree of safety, or in-deed effi cacy, has nothing to do with whether or not the practi-tioner also happens to be a doc-tor, but rather the training, skill, experience and professionalism of the acupuncturist/herbal-

Caring for our Country

Have your say

If, like us, you care about Australia’s natural environment you’ll want to have

your say about what’s the best way to look after it. Right now we are inviting

people to join a conversation about Caring for our Country, the Australian

Government’s fl agship natural resource management initiative.

Three years in, it’s time to review what’s worked well, what we need to

improve and what are the future challenges in protecting Australia’s natural

resources.

To get the conversation started, the Australian Government has released a

discussion paper which outlines a series of common themes people have

already raised with us.

We are writing to support the information regarding the Northern Rivers Tenants Advice & Advocacy Service provided by Matt Meir in the March 8 edition of Th e Echo.

Our family bore the brunt of real estate greed last No-vember, given only 24 hours notice to vacate our rented townhouse in a block in Pat-erson Street. I’ve since learned (thanks to NRTAAS) that this is illegal, but the snarling real estate agent who threatened massive fi nancial penalties and police involvement if we didn’t leave had us on the back foot!

So we packed like crazy, on the phone constantly trying to fi nd somewhere else to live in Byron. (Nothing of course – Schoolies then holiday letting!) My wife and I juggle three jobs between us, we needed to be close to school for the kids, so whoever was working could use the car, and whoever

wasn’t could be there for school dropoffs and pickups and to mind the dog (no room at the puppy motel either).

We shoved everything into storage, cleaned like fury, tumbled the kids into the car, thanked our neighbours, and made it out before the real estate agency charged us penalties.

It didn’t matter a bit. Nearly three weeks aft er the fi rst wave of Schoolies moved in and started partying hard, the real estate agency sent us an ‘End of Tenancy’ Report detailing huge holes in the walls, cur-tains ripped from their sock-ets, urine soaking the carpets and burn marks all through the kitchen and loungeroom. They demanded we pay for the damages, none of which we would ever contemplate, let alone carry out – yet they are claiming a total higher than our $2,500 bond.

It was a nightmare. We were homeless for the next month, pitching our tent in secluded spots every night in torrential weather, with the added humil-iation of the real estate painting us as fi lthy vandals.

A friend gave me the num-ber of the NRTAAS, and I called them up.

They treated me with re-spect, listened to our story, encouraged me to defend the allegations, and guided me through the appeals process. They followed up after each round of Tenancy Tribunal hearings so far, and have been amazing.

If you ever fi nd yourself in the same position – call the NRTAAS – as they say, the worst sharks in Byron aren’t in the water, but you can’t let the bastards stop you from swimming!

Free run for DonWhen is The Echo going to stop giving Don Page such an easy ride, even predicting that he’ll be a cabinet minister after the election? If I was one of the oth-er candidates I’d be extremely pissed off; is The Echo Don’s campaign manager?

Look, Don Page may have done a good job or the best job that could be done considering he’s a member of the opposition – but how would I know?

Certainly not from reading

The Echo. I mean asking him whether he condones B-triple trucks, for example, or his po-sition on affordable housing! What’s he going to do but issue the predictable platitudes and promises to write letters etc?

What I do know about the Hon Don Page is that he cer-tainly doesn’t put himself for-ward when there are difficult or controversial issues. I first noticed this with all the con-troversy about the two alterna-tive routes for the Ocean Shores freeway; Don was MIA, no-where to be seen. Oh no doubt he was having quiet little tele-phone chats with his constitu-ents (possibly on both sides of

the debate) and duly expressing his ‘concern’, but an unpublished private view is rubbish, whereas a vague public statement holds him to account to some extent (if the media can be bothered to follow up, that is).

A code for conflict, not conduct

continued on page 18

Tom Tabart

Last year the Hurstville Coun-cil in Sydney, defying a direc-tion from the Ombudsman and the Department of Local Government, refused to apol-ogise to a Greens councillor who had been falsely accused of breaching the Council Code of Conduct.

After outlaying over $22,000 of ratepayers’ money in legal advice, including a fee to a re-viewer who upheld the com-plaint without interviewing the councillor, the council finally withdrew the complaint. (This reviewer was later employed by BSC and is still on the books.) No action has been taken by the Ombudsman or the DLG re-garding the lack of an apology.

Unfortunately this is not an isolated incident. The Code of Conduct has been widely misused by councillors, staff and residents for political and personal reasons. The Code, as

presently constructed, is very much ‘on the nose’ in progres-sive local government circles.

In Byron ShireTo my knowledge, there are

four C of C cases underway; all have been initiated by the GM or staff members and all are against Greens councillors.

I have now had three com-plaints against me initiated by the GM.

The first was about disclo-sure of confidential informa-tion. It did not stand up but the finding was delayed for six months when the reviewer (see above) went missing for six months. The GM then at-tempted to have proceedings heard confidentially, contrary to the procedural guidelines, and it cost you, the ratepayer, in excess of $12,000.

The second came in a home-delivered, big brown envelope from the GM but has apparent-ly been discontinued, although

there has been no notification to this effect.

The third (current) one is over my ‘tablets of stone’ com-ment (reported in The Echo), on the surface directed at the Compliance Section but really a comment on management and leadership up the line.

I am informed that this case has now also been found to be without merit on the grounds that the remarks were for-mally withdrawn. This makes the ‘success rate’ against me nought from three and the ratepayer is out of pocket to an amount to be advised – the re-sult is supposed to be reported to Council.

Natural justiceThe system requires the GM

(or the Mayor in complaints against the GM) to assess com-plaints and either deal with them internally or refer them to one or more of a panel of exter-nal reviewers – Byron currently

has 14 to choose from. The GM gets to directly assess com-plaints made by himself, staff, councillors and the community. If he decides a complaint needs to be pursued he engages an external reviewer from the ap-proved list. These reviewers are paid for their involvement and presumably have only applied to be on the list in the expecta-tion of ongoing work...

I make no assertions of im-proper conduct on the part of anyone involved with the Code as it has been applied in the Byron Shire Council. But the high incidence of accusations and the fact they all seem to be dealt with by complaint inves-tigation would indicate that all may not be well with the gov-ernance of the organisation.

What is obvious is that the system is wide open to abuse, as it has been in Hurstville.

Comment

Patrick Morrisey

Candidates in the NSW elec-tion need to detail their policies on how Commonwealth Finan-cial Assistance Grants (FAGs) and NSW land taxes are calcu-lated and distributed in NSW.

The Coalition’s Shadow Treasurer Mike Baird argues that if elected their ‘fi rst port of call for land tax will be mak-ing the valuations fairer and more transparent ... and mak-ing NSW more competitive and that includes land tax squarely in our sights’. However no other candidates or parties have de-clared their position on what to do with land tax, and over $400 million collected from north coast councils over the past fi ve years.

Th e current system is unfair, out of date and does not ad-equately reflect changing de-mographics and the physical topography in NSW, nor the cost-shift ing going on.

Byron Shire is a good exam-ple of how inequitable the sys-tem is for allocating grants and collecting land taxes in NSW.

I initiated a FOI (GIPAA) re-quest to the NSW Offi ce of State Revenue (OSR) on all land tax paid per local government area in NSW over the past fi ve years.

Figures released show the NSW government raised nearly $20 million in land tax from

2,549 properties in Byron Shire in 2010 alone, and a total of $85,996,538 over the past fi ve years (2006-2010).

This gouging of money from small rural shires by the NSW government is not financially sustainable. High land values may benefi t land-owners, but it undermines the fi nancial viability of rural local governments.

High land tax

Th is is because high land val-ues result in Byron Shire Coun-cil receiving the lowest Finan-cial Assistance Grants (FAGs) per capita of any council in its category in NSW while collec-tively shire ratepayers pay the highest land tax per local gov-ernment area relative to its size in NSW and possibly Australia.

Compare Byron Shire’s grants received and land tax paid with adjacent coastal shires. Ballina Shire has a slightly larger population, re-ceives a similar FAG compared with its population however ratepayers pay only about one third of the land tax. Tweed Shire to the north has nearly triple the population, yet pays similar land tax to Byron Shire.

Also in 2010 Byron Shire Council received back about 12 per cent of the land tax raised in the shire by way of Finan-

cial Assistance Grants (FAGs), whereas Ballina Shire received about 40 per cent, Lismore nearly 300 per cent and Tweed Shire about 40 per cent.

By any measure used By-ron Shire Council is under-resourced fi nancially to meet the expectations of residents and visitors. Th is combination of low grants and high taxes has multiple fl ow-on eff ects for Council and its residents.

It produces unaffordable housing for many and reduced public funds to maintain those public assets that service those apparently valuable properties.

Combined with this, the NSW government promotes Byron Shire as a tourist desti-nation, but does not allow the council to raise revenue from that income source, making the system less equitable.

Assets underfunded

Critical fi nancial factors are also ignored in the allocation of grants such as the conditions of public assets like roads in a shire with some of the highest rainfalls and steepest slopes in NSW, compounding mainte-nance costs.

Th e NSW government’s for-mula for allocating Financial Assistance Grants is based on ranking councils on their ‘great-est assessed relative need’ com-

pared to all other councils. And councils with high land values are considered to be more able to raise revenue to meet their fi nancial obligations.

In response to Byron Coun-cil’s continually raised concerns about using property values to assess grants, the NSW Local Government Grants Commis-sion acknowledges the short-comings of the Commonwealth Local Government (Financial Assistance) Act 1995 but de-fends using property values as the most equitable method of comparative assessment: ‘Prop-erty values provide the best and simplest overall available indicator of the relative strength of the economic base of diff er-ent local government areas. … Land values are used to rank councils along a continuum ranging from those with the strongest capacity to raise rev-enue and those that have the weakest capacity.’

By ‘raising revenue’ one can assume raising rates is the most common method for local governments; however, recent attempts by Byron Council to raise rates above the CPI have been refused by the same De-partment of Local Government that administers the Grants Commission which argues LGAs with high land tax have a higher ability to raise revenue.

The logic that because a

council has high land values they can aff ord to raise more revenue is illogical if that council is refused permission to raise rates by the same gov-ernment. A fundamental fl aw in the Commission’s logic is to make a direct link between high land values and a council’s capacity to raise revenue.

Councils are also highly con-strained in their ability to raise revenue from other sources, such as tourism.

Visitor impact

Byron Council’s prelimi-nary estimates indicate that the increase of ‘non-resident (visitors) impacts may be in the order of 28 per cent against the Shire’s resident population’.

‘Managing the impact on infrastructure and amenity is a major issue for Byron Shire. Th e relative small rate base of approximately 14,425 rateable assessments must provide and maintain infrastructure used by residents and more than 1.2 million visitors annually… funded through the Commu-nity Infrastructure budget’.

Both the Australian and NSW governments promote tourism as an economic driver yet to date do not permit lo-cal governments, who provide and maintain the majority of the community infrastructure

visitors use, the ability to raise a tourism surcharge.

Possibly 400-600 houses in one town alone in Byron Shire are used as holiday ac-commodation all year round. Most owners of these invest-ment homes would pay land tax based on a high land value. Yet that tax is not available to provide public infrastructure to service that property, nor the visitors using it.

Bed tax

Clearly if Byron Council were permitted to levy a bed tax and/or was repaid the land tax col-lected from houses being holi-day let all year round, Council would have funds to maintain community assets that these tourists and residents use, like roads, bridges, footpaths and beaches, not to mention provid-ing funds for aff ordable housing opportunities.

Byron Shire Council needs NSW land tax to be returned to the shire and the fl exibility to raise other revenues based on the perceived desirability of the shire to live in and visit, to properly fund maintenance and improvements to the com-munity assets which service the residents and visitors alike.

holiday letting and its focus instead on unauthorised rural dwellings?’

‘Mr Page, don’t unauthor-ised rural dwellings provide the nearest thing to affordable housing in the shire and aren’t they merely an entrepeneurial response to supply shortages created by holiday letting, ie private enterprise at its best?’

‘Mr Page, if you become a minister in the state govern-ment will you act to return to local councils the powers which the Labor Party has stolen from them over the past few years?’

‘Mr Page, aren’t the cynical things which the Labor Party

has done precisely the things which the Coalition in its pro-development fervour would have done anyway?’

I will not go on. As I write I find myself getting increasingly angry with The Echo.

Bee deathThe editor’s omission, without acknowledgment, of an entire sentence and two references, from my 177 word letter (Echo, March 8) dramatically changed its meaning, because, as Ein-stein stated, a threat to the bees is a genuine threat to the sur-vival of humanity. So because

the the editor deleted any men-tion of the bee death from GM crops article I authored, Echo readers may have laughed at the idea of a threat to human-ity just because some folks with a new disease had a germ in their skin which was also used in making GM crops – a germ that is known to grow fibres in people.

Instead of omitting my ref-erences, why don’t you at least let readers view the article that I wrote, with 30 refer-ences, on bee death caused by GM crops, at this link: www.nexusmagazine.com/index.php?opt ion=com_d o c m a n & t a s k = d o c _

Post oil worldI was surprised to read in The Echo that local member Don Page is ‘proud to announce’ $1.5 billion taxpayer funding for more freeway. Seems to me this money would be better spent preparing for a post-petroleum economy, rather than wasting it on roads that can only encour-age the consumption of oil.

No doubt better roads save lives, reduce travel times and improve the efficiency of trans-portation, but these benefits serve to perpetuate an oil-fu-elled lifestyle at the expense of future opportunities.

Our reliance on cars and roads is a fact of life, but that won’t ease the pain of oil de-pletion for a world hooked on perpetual growth and industrial development.

The denial and negation that typifies government and media treatment of the issue indicates an inability to recognise let alone comprehend the scale of this perennial predicament.

By refusing to acknowledge

or address the social and eco-nomic implications of global oil depletion, our politicians, me-dia pundits and business lead-ers are failing to prepare for the challenges ahead.

The ‘terror war’ crusade to control oil-rich regions of the world is not a solution. In my opinion, those who are cur-rently establishing community gardens and local food forests are the ones we’ll thank in the future, if enough people join them now.

Gaza destructionAs Gaddafi unleashes the full force of modern weapons against the Libyan rebels, it is appropriate to remember Isra-el’s blitzkrieg against Gaza, Op-eration Cast Lead, which killed 1,400 civilians and laid waste hospitals, clinics, schools, the university, police stations and UN facilities like the UN Works and Relief Agency. White phos-phorus was also used, causing wounds to ignite on hospital operating tables. No-one called for a No Fly Zone.

This destruction continues with Israel deliberately bomb-ing Gaza’s AL-Qerem Medical Supplies Factory, Jabalya, injur-ing women and children (Feb-ruary 8, 2011). Ex-US Marine Kenneth O’Keefe filmed the attack – www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceuO9JtLZIg. Noth-ing was reported in the main-stream media. More recently, Israel has bombed the univer-sity at night, smashing the re-building efforts. Again, there is no mention of this in the main-stream media.

This weekend Byron hosts the Living Together happen-ing. Shouldn’t we include the Gazans and represent their suf-fering to our government and Israel’s embassy?

Mutual consentI believe the strongest objection to same-sex marriage comes from the tradition (and tacit acceptance) of male ownership of women. In Australia today the father’s ‘giving’ of the bride to the groom still signifies this exchange of ownership.

A man can’t own a man nor a woman a woman. Who, in a same-sex marriage, is the dominant partner?

If civil marriage (that rec-ognised by law) was identified as a ‘mutual’ commitment be-tween the consenting signato-ry parties, how liberating that would be for all. Maybe even removing the last psychologi-cal defence for spousal abuse.

Articles

Ray Moynihan

When it comes to the busi-ness of medicine, our familiar assumptions are often dead wrong. Th e idea that the latest drug is always better than the old ones is a dangerous fi ction, with several new blockbuster pills pulled from the market in recent years because of serious harms. Th e notion that com-mon operations are all proven is fantasy, with some knee and back procedures performed for years without good evidence they even help people.

Yet perhaps the unhealthi-est fallacy of all is the popular conviction that ‘early detec-tion’ is always the best option. According to a powerful new book, ‘over-diagnosis’ is one of medicine’s biggest problems, with millions of people be-coming patients unnecessar-ily, causing untold harms and wasting staggering amounts of resources.

Potential harm

The just-released Over-di-agnosed: making people sick in the pursuit of health (Bea-con Press) is written by three widely published researchers from the prestigious Dart-mouth Medical School in the United States, known for its rigour and scepticism. As practising doctors and scien-tists the authors are well aware that in many cases an early diagnosis can prevent illness, reduce suff ering and extend life. But as the evidence in their accessible book makes clear, too oft en people are be-ing ‘over-diagnosed’ – labelled with a condition that will never cause them symptoms or premature death. And as the authors chillingly remind us, someone who’s been over-diagnosed can never benefi t from treatment; they can only be harmed.

A strong example is pros-tate cancer, where there’s been widespread concern for years that mass screening programs

may cause many men to be di-agnosed and treated with dan-gerous procedures for cancers that may never have harmed them. In one of its many hor-rifying statistics, the new book states that in the best-case sce-nario, screening the healthy male population for prostate cancer means that ‘for every man who avoids a prostate cancer death, roughly fi ft y are over-diagnosed and treated needlessly’.

Prostate cancer is also a powerful example of the wid-er problem of the weakness of commonly used tests. Th e popular PSA blood test un-covers ‘abnormalities’ which cause great anxiety and fur-ther intervention, but which left alone may never develop into disease. From simple swabs to sophisticated scans, we are constantly ‘seeing too much’. For instance, Over-diagnosed discusses how CT scans can produce inaccurate

diagnoses, which in turn cre-ate the potential for unnec-essary gallbladder, knee and back surgery.

Risk factors

As others have written be-fore, many of the big and costly medical conditions of our time are not in fact ‘dis-eases’, but rather they’re ‘risk-factors’ portrayed as diseases. The widespread use of pills for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar and low bone mineral density costs vast amounts of resources globally, yet there are disturb-ing questions about whether this is money well spent.

The new book Over-diag-nosed charts how the defi ni-tions of these conditions have changed in recent decades, with boundaries being wid-ened and treatment thresholds lowered, dramatically expand-ing the numbers of people classified as patients, purely because they’re at some risk of future bad events like heart attacks or fractures. For ex-ample, changed defi nitions of high blood pressure produced a 35 per cent jump in the num-bers of people classed as hav-ing that condition, while low-ering the defi nition of ‘high’ cholesterol meant tens of mil-lions more Americans became patients.

Slippery slope

Th e paradox here is that in our rush to prevent illness, we may be doing more harm than good to many people. As those at lower risk of future disease are treated, the chances their treatments will help them decline.

Over-diagnosed explains that if you give drugs to someone with severely high blood pressure for fi ve years, the chance they will have a bad event prevented is almost 80 per cent – which means almost everyone taking their pills is helped. Alternatively for those with only very mild high blood pressure, the chance of benefi t is closer to fi ve per cent, which means 95 per cent of these people are taking drugs for five years without benefi t.

Another example is bone thinning, with many women who take popular drugs for mild osteoporosis gaining no benefi t, yet running the risk of serious harms, which can in-

clude ulceration, dead jaw and possibly even ‘atypical’ frac-tures, a very rare but horren-dous outcome where the bone of the upper leg breaks.

A key theme of the book Over-diagnosed is the need for better, clearer information for people, about the uncer-tainties of early diagnosis and the harms of unwarranted treatment.

Unlike so much mindless promotion that passes itself off as medical journalism on radio, television or in print,

Over-diagnosed features suc-cess stories of people who’ve explored those uncertainties and opted not to expose them-selves to the risks of potentially unnecessary treatments.

A version of this article was recently published in the Brit-ish Medical Journal. Ray will speak about his books on the business of medicine, includ-ing Selling Sickness, at the Mul-lumbimby Library, Wednesday April 6 at 5.30 pm. See more at www.raymoynihan.net.

I FIRST SAW XAVIER RUDD

ABOUT A DECADE AGO. HE

WAS PLAYING A GIG AT THE

HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN

TO A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE.

I WAS AMAZED AT THE TIME

AT JUST WHAT A RACKET ONE

BOY COULD MAKE. HE WAS

MESMERISING.

I remember going home and

telling my partner that I had

seen this kid play didge and

sing and play guitar and stomp box and create the sound of four men. ‘He’ll be huge,’ I predicted. Turns out I have psychic powers. Since then Xavier Rudd has become one of the most respected and loved acts on the Australian circuit. Able to entrance thousands at a time, this particular Mr Rudd knows how to work a crowd. SEVEN caught up with him him pre-Bluesfest.

What has been the most extraordinary thing for

you in your musical journey? I have seen and done a lot it seems in the last 10 years internationally; too many highlights to mention but I guess the biggest buzz simply is the support of folks worldwide in so many places who feel what I do. My music is very sacred to me

You are one of those artists who can really

connect with an audience. Why do you think that

is? Hard for me to say. I just open my heart and let it fl ow and really absorb what people are giving out, too, and sort of mix up all the energy and spit it back out

What are the messages or the things that you

want most to communicate with your audience? I don’t set out to communicate anything. However my music refl ects how I feel and there are many things I feel strongly about in this world. Respect of culture and country mainly.

No-one wants to be told they look like their mother. Especially blokes. It’s very emasculating for a 20-year-old boy to be told he looks like a 50-year-old woman. As a girl it’s not much better. Unless of course your mother is Grace Kelly or Angelina Jolie. Even then I bet their daughters get the shits when people lay that stupid line on them. Especially Zahara Jolie. She’s adopted from Africa. And as for Caroline looking like Grace, well, Grace is dead. That’s hardly a compliment.

Lately all my family members have been telling me how much I look like my Mum. They qualify it with ‘as you’re getting older’. Like that’s less insulting. I’ll be all dressed up feeling a million bucks and they’ll hit me with a ‘God, you look like Carol’. Like I’m no longer a person but a fl esh and blood homage to my Mum.

Kids spend their entire lives trying to establish an identity that is separate from their parents. It seems cruel that your genes conspire to make you look like the very people you’re rebelling against. That’s like Tony Abbott suddenly starting to look like Julia Gillard. Or Shane Warne starting to look like Simone.

Look, I love my Mum. As far as 60-year-old women go I think she’s very attractive; she could even qualify as a GILF. My stepdad’s nine years younger, so I suppose she almost qualifi es as a cougar. (Albeit a cougar in comfortable shoes and tracksuit pants.)

She’s well kept, I’ll give her that. She goes to Curves three times a week and she’s a very pretty woman. If I saw her at the gym and she was a complete stranger and someone said, ‘Wow, you look just like that random woman over there on the treadmill,’ I’d say, ‘Really? thanks.’ It would be a compliment.

But I don’t want to look like her. It’s not personal. It’s just that she’s my mother. I want people to say, ‘Wow, you look just like Jennifer Hawkins,’ and then qualify it with, ‘as you’re getting older’. Although as I’m getting older I’m feeling more on the Stephen Hawkings side of things. But it’s true. I am starting to look like my mother. I’m even starting to sound like her. Every now and then I’ll be standing on the back step nagging the kids and my voice will crack into a nasal Queensland Strine and I hear my mother’s voice whining from my lips.

I remember looking at my mother as a child. I thought she was beautiful. And soft. And smothery. I remember standing eye height to her butt and thinking wow, that is the biggest bum I’ve ever seen. It was just this massive expanse of arse. I’ve seen photos of my mother’s arse in the 70s. She was tiny. Barely a size 8. I can’t imagine what my own children have thought of my humungous booty.

I don’t imagine they’re any more well-disposed to be told ‘you look just like your mother’ as I was. No gorgeous teenage girl wants to be told she looks like a 40-year-old woman.

Mothers aren’t normal women: they’re mothers. It’s like a whole other species. I know because I am one. Now when I fi ll in forms that ask Male or Female, I make a new category called ‘other’. I am no longer a woman. I am a guilt-delivery device. I am a receptacle of judgment. A bottomless cup of conditional love.

Oscar Wilde put it most succinctly: ‘All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That is his.’ It’s ironic that you become the thing that you set yourself up not to be. As a teenager I reduced my mother to tears in an argument by shouting, ‘When I grow up I don’t want to be anything like YOU!’ What a nasty little bitch I was.

Anyway, turns out she got her own back. I am like her. Just like her. She won. I thought having daughters that I’d get to pull a prize in the genetic lucky dip. I’ve been waiting for people to croon at my beautiful girls, ‘Wow, they look just like you’. They don’t. They say, ‘Wow, the girls are looking

gorgeous. They look just like your mother.’

BAND OF BROTHERS

debut cd available in

March on ABC Classics

In a display of

improvised and

organised genius … their

interesting rhythms and

amazing adherence to

complex time signatures

was awe-inspiring …

The brothers were

entirely symbiotic!

–ABC Brisbane

Band of Brothers Slava and Leonard, Joseph and James – one super group, two sets of siblings, and four internationally acclaimed musicians: this brotherly collaboration displays sibling rivalry at its best. Regarded as two of Australia’s fi nest classical guitarists, Slava and Leonard Grigoryan join Joseph Tawadros, master of the oud, and James Tawadros, world-class percussionist specialising on the req, an Egyptian tambourine, to perform a repertoire that crosses cultural and stylistic barriers … from world music to jazz, to classical and traditional. They perform at the Byron Community Centre on Friday 25 March.

Tim’s Stoked about the BandThe Tim Stokes Band and their rootsy mix of desert blues, lounge funk and spit-polish soul will be knocking out at the Rails this Sunday. Stokes chunks out his sound with a hand-adapted lap-slide guitar and his trusty Maton acoustic. Recently he has been working with bassist Jamie Birrel and drummer, percussionist and producer Guy Anderton on his soon-to-be-released album, currently in the mixing stages. Stokes fl ipped from local chef to performer two years ago and has never looked more comfortable, happy and downright sexy

up on stage, belting out his uplifting madrigals that continue to charm and captivate audiences time

and time again.

Original and Open

This Wednesday is singer/songwriter open mic night at the Rails. Held on the third Wednesday of each month, it’s been a very interesting and entertaining evening and the drawcard of original music only has bought artists out of the woodwork and an

audience interested in hearing something inspirational, diff erent and creative. If you are

a singer/songwriter and want your ‘15 minutes of fame’, come on down this Wednesday and put

your name down or phone Jamie to book a spot on 6680 8938 or 0411 288 101. From 7pm.

The Wonder of YouThis Saturday night The Lucky Wonders are back in full swing in the lush Byron Brewery beer garden, from 6.30pm, with free entry. Their latest single Anyway, a tribute to the artist’s path of throwing everything you have into chasing your dreams, has just made it to the semifi nals in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition. Before heading south again for a NSW tour, the Wonders will also be part of the Northern Rivers

livemusic

Can music change people? It can assist people on their journey.

Has playing the didge made you more aware of the issues and challenges that face Indigenous communities? Mmm – maybe. It was my message stick to Yongul Country and the spirit of Yirdaki, which was more I think a blessing to travel with that old man spirit. So indirectly it’s a connection to all other mobs who didn’t use dij just through respect. It’s one love one mob these days.

How much of yourself and your life goes into your music? It’s

pretty much all there; my kids are in all my music for sure

You say that music is a gift from your ancestors and it’s your

journey to share it. What do you mean by that? My music

is never mentally planned and never has been; it just fl ows

through me, often unconsciously, whenever it happens. When

it does it is fairly consuming but it all happens pretty quickly.

I understand that spirit moves through me and I have some

strong ones with me.

I see Rudd...

Music Brokerage Showcase at Byron Community Centre on Wednesday 23 March, along with The Round Mountain Girls, Mick McHugh, Susanna Carmen and Dan Hannaford – a one-off event not to be missed.

Young Songwriters’ CompAre you an aspiring songwriter? Then pop your track on an mp3 and submit it in the Lismore Young Songwriters Comp. Entries close on Friday and need to be submitted with lyrics in a Word doc. It’s for 12–25-year-olds and includes name, age and category: pop, rock, folk, country, hip hop, r&b, electronica, metal … Send to [email protected].

Lisa Hunt – Mullum on My MindWith a perfectly good Saturday night open in an otherwise chockers touring schedule, Lisa Hunt did what she’s done in the past: turned her sights locally and decided to self promote. Lisa says, ‘Last Easter we did the same thing with a fantastic turnout; so I have the confi dence now to put on other events, particularly in areas where the pubs and clubs won’t do it for me’. The night is Saturday 26 March at the Mullumbimby Bowling Club with a show time of around 9pm. It will be a ‘dine and dance’ experience aimed squarely at lovers of the vintage soul music that is Hunt’s forte; it’s for those who want an atmosphere a little more sleek than an afternoon

Sunday session. ‘Put on your cocktail dress, scrub up the boyfriend, or bring your besties out for a night of fun, food and a boogie,’ says Lisa.

Franti Fronts for FloodsBluesfest performer Michael Franti shows his philanthropic side on Wednesday 20 April with a very special performance (with friends) at the Hotel Great Northern. This fundraiser is for Queensland Flood and Christchurch

Earthquake Appeals. Stay tuned to see who will appear with Franti on the night.

Here comes The Sun RoseIn a time when Australian music could appear to have lost its way, The Sun Rose is a revitalising reminder of the foundation that Australian rock music was built on. A culmination between front man James Dobbs (formerly of The Painted Crows), lead guitarist George Christie, and bassist Brent Crysell (both formerly of Fort) and Jason Banister on drums, The Sun Rose is something of a North Coast-bred super-band that is sure to be the surprise package of the forthcoming festival season. In their early shows The Sun Rose are drawing comparisons to Australian iconic rockers Powderfi nger and Grinspoon and are currently completing their debut album, for a release later this year.

The Sun Rose debuts their guitar-driven sound at the Great Northern on Friday 9pm. FREE gig.

Come and dance your heart outFREE

You recorded recently at Studio 301 here in Byron Bay. Tell me a little about that project with Izintaba.Very powerful. Tio and Andy are a true gift and our connection is very strong. I am very proud of Koonyum Sun and what we captured in that space.

How do you keep re-inventing yourself? It just happens. My music has always seemed to change album to album as my journey rolls; I don’t plan it.

Does it get harder to take risks, or go in new directions? No,

it all fl ows.

What should we expect for your Bluesfest show? It’ll be my

fi rst time at Bluesfest with Izintaba, which is always special,

and actually we haven’t done much really in Aus since the

Koonyum Sun release; we have been so busy overseas. So I

think it’ll be a blast. The coolest thing by far, though, will be

having my kids there!

A Greener LifeGreenlife are back for Paddy’s Day, playing at the Beach Hotel Thursday 17 March, 9pm. Greenlife are a group of world-class musicians, playing wild eclectic dance music woven around tunes and songs from Ireland, as well as Bluegrass and European Gypsy traditions with their own inimitable style.

They combine Greg Sheehan’s legendary inspired dance grooves on kit and percussion, Laura Targett’s unique and energy-charged fi ddle and vocal melodies, Steve Berry’s layers of guitar work and triggered bass pedals, and the sheer, contagious joy of playing. They are joined for this night by Marley Berry-Pearce also on drum kit and percussion, bringing his contemporary feel and solid grooves to the mix, and possibly other special guests.

Keeping it Skanky but OrganicWith an emphasis on keepin’ it organic, this seriously skilled and seasoned unit will debut at the legendary Rails

Hotel in Byron Bay on Friday from 7pm with empathetic, improvised dancehall grooves and good vibes. Skankers are: Thierry Fossmalle, bass; Stu Eadie, drums; Matt Hanley, guitar; and Chris Chandler, vox and sax.

Dr of the KnightMulti-award-winning local songwriter Dr Baz (aka Barry Ferrier) has been a consistent quality performer on the North Coast music scene since the early eighties, always renewing and reinventing himself, and in recent months he has teamed up with local diva Kellie Knight to produce a versatile and entertaining new musical combo with great chemistry and strong audience rapport. They return to the Mullum Services

Club Lounge Bar on Friday.

Moon in the TreeMelody Moon is an enticing new talent fresh out of the big

smoke of Melbourne. Her acoustic songs are described as raw and delicate and take you on a captivating journey of the heart. Promoting her debut EP Little Hopes, she’s touring solo up the east coast of Aus. However, after her Kombi broke down in the hills of Whian Whian, the Byron Shire’s been seeing a lot more of Melody. Don’t miss her last Byron Bay performance at The Treehouse, Belongil on Sunday at 4pm.

The Confl uence of Two SoulsDebapriya is a disciple of the legendary Padmabhusan Girija Devi of Benaras Gharana. His mother fi rst introduced the notes S R G M P D N to him when he was a young child and ever since then Debapriya has been singing. He was fi rst initiated into Classical music by his extremely supportive parents; he received his primary lessons from his mother, who later took him to the stalwart vocalist of ‘Senia Gharana’, Pt Samaresh

Chawdhury, from whom he learnt for fi fteen years. The one man whom Debapriya recognises as his main Preceptor, who actually changed his entire approach for music, is the late exponent of Agra Atrauli Gharana, Pt

Kumar Prasad Mukhopadhyay. Debapriya and Samanwaya are accomplished in many areas of Indian classical music, including pure classical, tappa, tap-khyal, thumri, dadra, chaiti, holi, kajri, jhula, under able guidance of their Gurumaa (Mentor) Dr Girija Devi. They have performed solos and duets at several national and international music festivals across India, Isle of Man, USA, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Denmark, Australia, Canada, UK, et al. They gathered several prestigious awards and prizes. They appear at the Bangalow Catholic Hall on Friday 25

Bye Bye Billi Jam MakersThere’s something special about the Billi Pub when you learn that singer, songwriter and guitarist Lyne Davis has been the steward for song-lovers since the early ‘noughties’. Since 2001, musicians and punters alike have had confi dence that

they could rock up at the Billi Pub every Friday night knowing they would enjoy an energetic, occasionally eclectic, and always fabulous Friday night jam session organised by Lyne, in partnership with pianist/drummer Grant Robertson. But after organising what adds up to more than 500 sessions, Lyne and Grant are moving on to new musical ventures. The fi nal Friday night jam session takes place this Friday.

Snapping Men At Work To heighten awareness of the hardworking eff orts of men in society, Cape Byron Productions have launched a photographic competition called Men at Work. Open to amateur photographers and students of South-East Qld and Northern NSW. Free and easy to enter, there are beaut prizes to win including seven nights’ accommodation at a relaxing, seaside, two-bedroom apartment in Sunshine Beach, Noosa. The 30 fi nalists will be displayed at the Studio, Metro Arts in Brisbane and the Byron Bay Community Centre Theatre during the season of Craig Hearps’ new contemporary Australian play, Love Let Me Out. Love Let Me Out is a brilliant piece of theatre depicting in a poignant and funny way the struggle of modern man as he tries to balance work, love, sex and freedom! Entries close 27 April. For more information about the terms and conditions go to www.loveletmeout.com.

Saying your PieceIt takes a very creative curator to keep a gallery open. Nadinbe Abensur of Mullumbimby’s Art Piece Gallery is just that. Surviving the impacts of the GFC and weathering the reduced tourist numbers from the Queensland fl oods, Nadine has initiated some exciting new strategies to invigorate her gallery. Nadine notes the diffi cult place that privately funded galleries fi nd themselves: ‘We function like a public gallery, but in fact it’s entirely commercial. The gallery doesn’t get any funding. Most galleries don’t get past two years of operation, and this is my fourth year.’

The most obvious challenges that face a gallery owner in a country town is the obvious: the fact that it’s a country town. Nadine agrees. ‘The main challenge is that it’s a small town with a limited audience. But they are a particularly keen audience and they love art. I’m looking at making work more accessible for people who may think they can’t aff ord it.’ From this week Nadine is having the works of selected artists available at once-in-a-lifetime prices.

This month also Nadine is launching Friends of the Gallery, a program that allows art lovers to become a patron of their local gallery. ‘It’s a three-tier program,’ says Nadine, ‘with membership at $100, $500 and $1000 per year. It will not only help to fund the running of the gallery but also instigate artist talks and private functions for platinum members.’

French-born Nadine refl ects on why she chose to open a gallery in Mullumbimby. ‘When I fi rst moved to the area I was struck by the standard of work. I recently went back home and to London and I didn’t see another gallery like this one. People keep telling me this as well. I’m not trying to be cutting edge, or avante garde, and on the other hand I’m trying to give people something a few notches up from what you’d expect in a regional gallery.’

But it’s not just about visual art at Art Piece. ‘I am looking at using the gallery as a venue for all sorts of artistic expressions,

not just visual. I have just had a poetry night with Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth.’ These, along with jazz nights, will be regular features at Art Piece. Check out what’s on show at Art Piece Gallery, Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby.

I’m a Peepli PersonIn the lead-up to state elections in the Indian village of Peepli, two poor farmers, Natha and Budhia, face losing their land over an unpaid bank loan. Desperate, they seek help from an apathetic local politician, who scornfully suggests they commit suicide to benefi t from a government program that aids the families of indebted deceased farmers. When a journalist overhears Budhia urge Natha to ‘do what needs to be done’ for the sake of their families, a media frenzy ignites around whether or not Natha will commit suicide. Mullum Flicks presents Peepli at the Drill Hall on Saturday and Sunday at 8pm. Arrive at 7pm for dinner and dessert. Tickets $12 at Mullum bookshop and dinner is optional and can be purchased at the venue. Although if you get there early you’ll get the best seat, and something to eat!

Sea Shepherd

WhaledanceSea Shepherd

Byron Bay and Electric Forest Productions

are hosting a Whaledance equinox event at Main Arm’s Kohinur Hall on Sunday.

With an eclectic mix of music, art, fi lm and delightful food the aim is to bring together the community to raise funds for the Sea Shepherd organisation to assist in their noble fi ght to end commercial whaling. With the recent success of Sea Shepherd’s Operation No Compromise, the Whaledance event

has been upgraded to a victory celebration! Whale champion Howie Cooke is one of the guest speakers. Howie is a longtime whale activist and Sea Shepherd crew member recently returned from the successful mission to the Southern Ocean. Nicole McLachlan will also be speaking about her experiences as a Cove Guardian. All profi ts from the Whaledance event will be donated to Sea Shepherd, with many artists, musicians and volunteers freely giving their time and energy to help our cetacean relations live in peace and harmony in our oceans. From 3pm.

Subby does the SplitsSubby Valentine is a much sought-after radio personality, raconteur, writer and standup comedian. He’s known for his incredible versatility and ability to adapt to any given

situation. He’s also rubbed shoulders with some pretty high-profi le celebs, and during his time on air at Triple J, Triple M and Mix FM he proved himself both a skillful entertainer and interviewer. He has quizzed Michael Bublé, bantered with Billy Bob Thornton, shot the breeze with Owen Wilson, whinged with James Blunt and poked fun at Daniel Radcliff e. As a writer he was a big contributor to the highly successful Morning Crew at 2Day FM with Wendy Harmer and Greg Fleet, and Subby has also written and acted in sketch comedies and hosted SBS’s The Men’s Room. He is joined by Brisbane with Chris Hague and MC Mandy Nolan at Currumbin RSL’s Side Splitting Laughter on Saturday. Doors and bar open at 6.30pm with the show starting at 7.30pm. Tix are $15 for Club members and $20 non-members. The Club’s free kids’ club will be open until 10pm.

Peepli [Live]It’s unusual for a fi lm to open on such a high, if understated, emotional note. Half-witted peasant Natha and his drone brother Budhia are returning to their dusty village with news that the family’s small farm will be lost because they have defaulted on a loan. But it’s not so much their plight that touches as the celebratory song of hope that accompanies their journey – ‘behind tattered pockets lie hearts deep as seas’. Western audiences are as familiar with Bollywood’s airbrush and bling as they are with the likes of Danny Boyle’s uncompromising focus on India’s cruel squalor, but fi rst-time director Anusha Rizvi’s tragi-comedy is fi rmly rooted in the earthy but elevating realism of the great Satyajit Ray. With no option available to

save the ancestral plot, Natha decides that he will commit suicide and thus endow his wife with a handsome government compensation pay-out – the transformation of India’s economy from being agrarian based to high tech has had a staggering impact on the poor of the land, with 182,000 farmers taking their own lives between 1987 and 1997. Nathi becomes headline news and TV crews descend upon his village from all parts, doing live crosses to update their viewers with the latest developments – Nathi, an overwhelmed cause célèbre, can’t even have a dump without his poo being subjected to analysis. Concurrently, the district of Peepli is about to have a by-election and the rapacious media’s obsession with Nathi puts him at the centre of the unctuous candidates’ wheelings and dealings. Swiftian satire

is a vanishing art, what with foul-mouthed, knickerless buff oonery now passing as wit, so Rizvi’s tale, rich in social comment and metaphor, and beautifully photographed, is a refreshing escape from the norm. Whether you’ve had your appetite for cultural diversity whetted by the Byron Film Fest, or if you simply want to enjoy a movie that poetically explores the human condition with equal parts aff ection and ire, this is a must see. Screening at Mullum Flicks this weekend. ~ John Campbell

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ NestIt’s a given at the movies that if you see a really big, monosyllabic bloke with short-cropped snowy hair going around killing innocent people with ruthless sangfroid (think ‘Fargo’), then you can bet the sheep station that he’ll get his juicy comeuppance in the fi nale. The ogre’s retribution in an abandoned warehouse, delivered with a nail-gun, is the highlight of Daniel Alfredson’s last installment of Stieg Larsson’s bestselling potboiler. Readers know the story inside out, whereas those of us who attend once a year to catch up only have the most superfi cial understanding of the state of play so, fl oundering immediately, I was grateful for the fl ashbacks that fi lled in the black holes of my memory of the earlier episodes. Nonetheless, lacking the reader’s familiarity (and devotion), I found that I needed to concentrate too hard on piecing together the details of not only Lisbeth’s back-story, but also the seemingly endless array of corrupt old blokes with whom she came in contact. Combined with the sombre colours and constant reading (and is it just me, or is Swedish a particularly exhausting language to listen to?), it eventually did me in and I slept blissfully for a good ten minutes out of a taxing 147. Throughout, the trilogy’s strength has been with the performance of the sensational Noomi Rapace as the damaged but unbowed punk heroine, especially when compared with the charisma-free Michael Nyquist, but we just don’t get enough of her. For

too long we only see Lisbeth recuperating in hospital (she was shot in the head at the end of Episode 2), then, belatedly, in court staring down her accusers, by which time she too is beginning to look wearied by the ongoing drama. The fi rst act was riveting, the second confusing and dull and this – ultimately resembling a high-gloss crime-and-punishment TV serial – though more engaging than its predecessor, will be appreciated mostly by those who devoured the novels with such relish. Loved the nail-gun scene, but. ~ John Campbell

HereafterClint Eastwood’s latest took me by surprise straightaway. Only minutes in and the 2004 tsunami is smashing through a resort island. The CGI is horribly convincing as we follow the destiny of Marie Lelay (Cécile De France), a holidaying French TV journalist who is being swept along and pounded by the torrent. It’s a jolting, instantly gripping opening. Dragged from the water and given resuscitation, she has died before regaining consciousness. While gone, she learnt that there is another side, and she decides to write her commissioned book about it. In London, Marcus (Frankie McLaren), after his twin brother Jason has been killed and his junkie mother institutionalised, single-mindedly seeks an expert in the afterlife (he googles a number of possibilities). George (Mat Damon) was a professional psychic who could not handle the pressure of what he sees as his cursed ability. Now he’s happy to drive a fork-lift at the wharves, but you know that his meeting Marcus and Marie is pre-ordained. The set-up fi ts like a glove and the ensuing acts are as particular and atmospheric as the Dickens audio novels that George listens to. Seamlessly, the three progress towards their intersection, but with more digression than is usual from Eastwood. Leisurely might not

be the word for a fi lm about death, but it is so easily plotted and developed, lingering with observations of Marie’s work relationships, letting us in on George’s attraction to Melanie (Bryce Dallas Howard, terrifi c) after they’d met at cooking lessons – and, surprising too is a horny scene in which George and Melanie, alternately blindfolded, spoon feed each other tasty morsels in class. Another little thing that I enjoyed (cheesy but so

eff ective) was the almost sub-aural electric thrum which is heard every time George, by clutching hands with somebody, makes ‘contact’ with a spirit – it’s a primal device, but its import brings you back to earth and gives George his credence. Not every storyline is resolved and for this Eastwood fan it was not devastating like Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino, but at the end I think I understood that that was not its intention – that what

it aims to do is comfort. It is a movie of great temptation, boldly suggesting an answer to the vexing question of our own mortality without ever sounding didactic or worse, loopy. You’d have to concede that it’s an old man’s prerogative to try and shine a light on death and, at eighty, Eastwood elegantly explores the heaviest subject with the lightest touch. ~ John Campbell

Last week’s solution

Mungo’s Crossword fi rst published in The Week.

While the world’s top players this week line up for another thud and blunder session of blindfold chess in Monaco, a little known German FIDE Master is preparing to climb blindfold chess’s Mount Everest.

At the end of 2011, Marc Lang (pictured) will attempt to break Miguel Najdorf ’s 1947 record by playing 46 games simultaneous-ly blindfolded. That’s right – 46 games at once without seeing any of the boards.

When Andre Philidor played three games simultaneously blindfold in 1783, the organis-ers obtained affidavits from the participants because they feared that the outside world would not believe that such a feat was possible.

Subsequently, simultaneous blindfold records were slowly increased, though the sense of amazement remained at seeing a single player defeat a team of opponents with the position vis-ible only in his or her mind.

Lang, however, seems intent on taking blindfold chess into new territory.

In November Lang, 41, com-pleted a 35 board simultaneous exhibition, scoring above 70 per cent in 23 hours and shattering the 34 board record of the great George Koltanowski.

However, unlike Koltanowski, Lang took no short draws and his opposition was consider-ably stronger than Koltanowski’s. (Lang also took on a medium-strength computer during his exhibition, resulting in one of his three losses.)

Having played more than 300 blindfold simultaneous exhibi-tions myself – though never attempting more than 12 games

simultaneously – I can only view Lang’s achievement with awe. (The Soviet Union went so far as to ban simultaneous blindfold record attempts, for fear of mental health consequences.)

The hardest part about a blind-fold chess exhibition is order-ing the boards in your mind – remembering that a particular position was board seven and not board nine.

Lang has developed a clever way to aid his memory; he sits facing the players and tries to link a face to a board number and posi-tion. (The pieces are hidden from his view by a barrier.)

In other respects Lang plays under tougher rules than previ-ous record-setters. For example, after three attempted illegal move attempts in a game, he is forfeited. Thus, forgetting a position and mentally recapturing it by inspired guesswork was not possible for Lang.

Tony Miles, the late English

Grandmaster, completed a 22 board exhibition in 1984 and always regarded Koltanowski’s record as breakable, albeit with at least six months intensive prepa-ration. However, Najdorf ’s 45 games in Brazil in 1947 – played in order to get the news to his family in Poland that he had sur-vived WWII – was considered so outrageous that until recently the legitimacy of the record was doubted. (Two later record claims, by Flesch and Bjelica, were defi-nitely fraudulent.)

In 2009 Lang broke Miles’ European record, then last year he beat Koltanowski’s and there seems no reason to doubt that he has the skill, memory and deter-mination to reach his goal of 46 games.

Lang may be virtually unknown outside Germany but keep in mind, as you watch Anand, Kramnik, Carlsen and Topalov struggle with single blindfold games in Monaco – for a mas-sive prize fund – that there is a FIDE Master in Germany who is the real master of the blindfold chessboard.

CHESS by Ian RogersPlay at Byron Services Club, Mon 7-10pm

WITH LILITH

Stars With Mercury and Uranus joining Jupiter in Aries, sign of the rambunctious Ram,

expect a week of uncensored directness and dynamic creativity: impulsive, blunt, creative

and inspirational…

ARIES: This week’s pumping with exuberance and enthusiasm but certain cautions are in order. You’re in overdrive, others may not be; so if your plans or opinions are challenged, be advised the three things that won’t work in your favour are venting, interrogating or issuing ultimatums.

TAURUS: There’s both astral and practical support for your current plans, while Venus in an unusual mood suggests expressing the wilder side of your personality this week. And exploring your spiritual side, which in the case of some Taurans means accepting that yes, you do have one.

GEMINI: With your planetary ruler Mercury in Aries, nothing could stem the eff ervescence of your ideas and opinions this week, though unsubstantiated gossip could have repercussions you’re likely to regret. Good news? Enterprising types with adventurous ideas and progressive propositions are entering your orbit as we speak.

CANCER: While Cancerians are into tradition, current situations call for completely new solutions. This week’s concerns encompass both home and away, suggesting you’ll be deciding whether to either renovate and revamp, make a whole new move, or else hit the highway for a liberating change…

LEO: How you handle this week’s confi dential information and unsolicited disclosures either enhances or damages your reputation. If audiences aren’t adequately receptive during late-week Leo moon, an expectation adjustment might be in order. Big isn’t necessarily better, so why infl ate small annoyances into major war crimes?

VIRGO: This inventive, enterprising week can’t help but vamp up your love life, while the social scene’s ripe with opportunities for self marketing. Sure, there’ll be interpersonal niggles, but you’ll get the best results on all levels by following your curiosity rather than sticking to a plan.

LIBRA: If burdensome world news, apocalyptic thinking and

emotional overload has you longing for light relief, this week could produce it in the form of an adventurous someone with forward-thinking propositions. And if life hands you the proverbial golden citrus, break out the tequila and phone a friend.

SCORPIO: You’re defi nitely this week’s magnetic aphrodisiac, but powerful forces are operating which need you to slow down and refl ect before you act. Lean into the present existential curves and forget about stubborn, because anything less than fl exible will only cause frustration to you know who.

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s bound to have you fi red, wired and inspired by Mercury’s move to your house of revelry, and it suggests farewelling whatever’s fi nito by throwing a darn good party, or celebrating in your own inimitable Sagittarian style closure, change and exciting new beginnings.

CAPRICORN: Relationships? Saturn will keep on demonstrating what doesn’t work anymore until you come up with something that does. Defuse this week’s emotional hot spots by not taking yourself seriously, because if you can laugh at you know who you’ll never cease to be amused…

AQUARIUS: With your boss planet Uranus moving into your house of communications for the next seven years, the cosmic lottery hands you some promising options. Sure, you’ll have to live with a few question marks, but this assertive, decision-stimulating week’s already on the case…

PISCES: The pushy red planet in your sign could bring a jolting glimpse of fi nancial realities for some Pisceans. You may have to say goodbye quite suddenly to an old way of behaving and move into an evolutionary phase of resource management which protects your long-term interests.

2011 NSW Seniors Week

Ambassadors AnnouncedSome of Australia’s most successful seniors have been named as ambassadors for this year’s NSW Seniors Week. Now in its 53rd year, it is the largest program of events for older people in the Southern Hemisphere.The Seniors Week Ambassadors represent seniors from a variety of interests and sectors and include:

Professor Michael Besser, consultant neurosurgeon at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the University of Sydney who believes that the key to a good long life is keeping both mind and body in peak condition; Millie Ingram, a highly respected Elder born on an Aboriginal

reserve in Wiradjuri country in central NSW who has spent most of her life working for Aboriginal rights at community level, in childcare, employment and education; Jenny Kee, a pioneer of Australian style, an acclaimed artist and

designer whose distinctive use of colour and national iconography refl ects her passion for the Australian environment as well as her

Chinese and Italian/Australian background; andTom Uren, former Federal Minister who played an important

role in establishing the heritage and conservation movement in Australia.The Minister for Ageing, Peter Primrose, said these high profi le ambassadors would share their thoughts and experiences and attend a range of events which will be held during NSW Seniors Week. Mr Primrose said it was wonderful to have such outstanding achievers representing the campaign and promoting the key message ‘Live Life’.Locally, the ambassador will be famous actor and comedian Noeline Brown (www.noelinebrown.com.au), who will be at the Byron Shire Council offi cial opening and free morning tea on Monday March 21, 9.30am-1pm. at the Ocean Shores Community Centre. For the full program of events see the fl yer on Council’s website at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/older-people. Council was also so impressed with its seniors that it chose two Senior Citizens of the Year on Australia Day. Joan Ball has lived in the Byron Shire for 50 years and has been active in community work for that same amount of time, involved with the Red Cross since 1966. She has also worked in excess of 15 years at the Anglican Opportunity Shop as well as assisting with the preparation and delivering of meals for the Meals on Wheels

kitchen for 15 years.The second Citizen of the Year is Jean Platt, who has lived in the Shire for 18 years and has been active in community work for in excess of 45 years.Among many organisations, Joan has supported Brunswick Heads Meals on Wheels, Lilac Ladies Mullumbimby Hospital and Reading Assistance Ocean Shores Primary School. She has given 40 years dedicated service to the Girl Guides, as well as caring for the elderly. NSW Seniors Week, which runs from March 20 – 27, is funded by the NSW Government and organised by Ageing, Disability and Home Care.See more about Seniors Week at www.nswseniorsweek.com.au

advert on these pages). Using the time tested and holistic treatment approach of Ayurveda, Raman Das has great success and very positive feedback from women he is treating for menopause – so they heal and bloom! Appointments 13th - 16th Mayph: 1300 552 260.

Am I too old for chiropractic care?More and more people are consulting chiropractic doctors, especially in their later years. With growing concerns about over-medication and the side effects of combining various prescription drugs, safe, natural chiropractic care is growing in popularity.Restoring better spinal function can help improve mobility, vitality, endurance, and appetite. Many patients report improvements with arthritic symptoms and other chronic ailments often associated with the aging process. The adjusting technique used by your doctor will be modifi ed for maximum comfort and results. As we get older and wiser, the simplicity and effectiveness of chiropractic care becomes more and more obvious.Byron Bay Chiropractic Centreph: 6680 9991

Celebrate Seniors Week by having your hearing assessed FREEA night at the theatre or cinema, a group meeting, a restaurant dinner, without being able to hear? This is what many adults who lose their hearing partially or completely have to live with every day. Some people lose their hearing within a very short time (from accidents, diseases, illnesses etc.), while for others it is progressive and can take 20, 30 or 40 years. Hearing deteriorates from year to year and the person has to adjust to it. One of the most common causes of progressive hearing loss is work-related noise exposure and presbycusis (age related hearing loss), but young people can also be affected. Unfortunately, it is only when the person has already lost a lot of hearing that they consult an audiologist. Adult Hearing Checklist◆ Do you often ask people to repeat what they have said? Do you sometimes hear but fail to understand words? ◆ Have you noticed recently people mumble more often? Does your family complain that you play the radio or TV too loudly? ◆ Are you having more and more diffi culty hearing in noisy places?

◆ Have you been told you speak too loudly? ◆ Do you have trouble hearing when spoken to from another room? ◆ Do you have to strain to hear? If you answered YES to two or more of the questions above, call Advanced Hearing Aid Specialists 1800 835 404 or 6686 0844.

Tummy Control Swimwear is a dream come true for many women. Located in Tweed Centro Shopping Centre Tummy Control Swimwear specialises in sizes 8-30. Tracey Fairclough is passionate about her swimwear which aims to please the mature woman but can suit ages 16 and up. The swimwear looks fantastic and is super quick to dry but the best benefi t of all is the magic of tummy control. Tummy Control “irons out the hip area and has a beautiful bustline making the wearer look slimmer and have a great shape” says Tracey. For the next two weeks Tummy Control Swimwear is open seven days, located opposite FDBs in Tweed Centro (before it moves to its new shop next to Target). Tracey is especially looking forward to seeing all her Ocean Shores customers really soon. ph: 0422 154 224

STEP INTO LIFE GROUP OUTDOOR PERSONAL TRAINING

Health Study Concludes: ‘People who exercise outdoors are more likely to stick to their exercise routine.’ The study (Science Daily 5 Feb 2011) found that most trials showed an improvement in the mental wellbeing of participants – compared with exercising indoors, resulting in greater feelings of revitalisation, increased energy and positive engagement, together with decreases in tension and depression. Step into Life, Australia’s largest group outdoor personal training program, have found similar results. Its average client sticks to the outdoor training routine for two years, on average; as opposed to three months for gym members.‘Group outdoor personal training is an excellent way for people in the community to look after their health.’ Call Damian for your FREE trial session – 0400 920 269.

GREEN ENERGY NOT THE POWER BILL CULPRITSharp rises in household power bills are being driven by rising network costs and retailer margins, not renewable energy, according to a new report by independent energy market analysts ROAM Consulting.According to ROAM, renewable energy schemes were found to contribute only between four and seven per cent to power bills, at the same time delivering Australia’s main response to the economic threat of climate change.Clean Energy Council chief executive Matthew Warren said rolling out clean energy around Australia was the start of the transformation required to clean up Australia’s electricity supply without imposing major costs on households.‘Electricity bills are going up, but renewable energy is not to blame,’ Mr Warren said.‘While we are finalising the design of a carbon price, the national 20 per cent renewable energy target remains the single largest greenhouse gas abatement program in Australian history.‘Over the next decade it will cut Australia’s greenhouse emissions by around 380

million tonnes of greenhouse gases as the contribution of renewable energy increases year on year.’The report for the Clean Energy Council by ROAM Consulting, Impact of renewable energy policies on retail electricity prices, noted: ‘Even in the most aggressive scenarios the combined renewable schemes are likely to contribute less than ten per cent of retail electricity tariffs.’Find out more at www.cleanenergycouncil.org.au.

Surf clubs from the Far North Coast Branch of Surf Life Saving have a proud tradition of competition at the local, state and national levels.

Open competitors from Byron Bay and Lennox Head–Alstonville clubs have emerged in recent years as serious contenders at the major events on the surf sport calendar, even challenging some of the larger city clubs in some disciplines.

In the Byron Shire, Byron Bay SLSC has been a force to be reckoned with in surf sports and continues to produce many successful competitors. The club won the overall Open/Masters pointscore at the recent Country Surf Life Saving Championships and Lennox Head–Alstonville was third in the overall pointscore for the entire carnival.

At last year’s State Championships, Tom and Alex Burns from Byron Bay won a gold and silver respectively in the Under 17 Single Ski Race and will be keen to repeat that result this year in the Under 19 category.

Other competitors to watch include Shannon Hulbert-Green (Under 19) from Byron Bay who is in great form and placed second in the Under 19 Swim and Ironwoman, and third in the Open Ironwoman and Under 19 Board Race at the recent NSW Country Championships at South West Rocks. Also Zoe Heiniger who won the Under 17 Surf Race and came second in the Under 17 Female Rescue Tube and 2km Beach Run at the Country Championships. Lorne Greenlaw (Under 15) from Byron Bay won the Under 15 Male Swim and Ironman.

In form for the Masters events include Graeme Condie and Geoff Brodin who were fi rst and third in the 50–59 Year Surf Race at the Country Championships in January. Paul Pattinson claimed gold in the 50–59 Beach Sprint and silver in the Beach Flags. Michio McMullen and Jo Kay had wins in their Board races. Several strong ski paddlers bringing home gold from Country include Sarah Beadman, Mike McCabe, Paul Irwin and Liz Harvey.

Lennox Head–Alstonville competitors to watch after their performances at Country include Hayden Thomas who won both the Open and the Under 19 Surf Races at the Country Championships. Nathan Gray won the Under 19 Board Race, Ellie Leaver won the Open Ski Race and Madison Blue Bekerleg won the Open Board Race.

Lennox is travelling light in the Masters stakes, with just two competitors entered. One is Samantha Miller, who is a chance in the 30–39 Year beach events.

Byron Bay is sending a 60+ strong team to the event next week, while the Lennox team numbers around 20.

The Allphones NSW Surf Life Saving Championships (Masters/Opens) run from Friday 17 to 20 March, 2011 at Kingscliff Beach.

Junior competitors in particular have emerged in recent years. Particularly strong in the junior ranks is Lennox Head–Alstonville, which fi nished in top position in the overall pointscore at the recent NSW Country Surf Life Saving Championships at South West Rocks. Lennox Head was also the best performing northern club at last year’s junior State Championships.

In the Under 12 Ironwoman at the recent Country Championships, Lennox Head–Alstonville took out the trifecta with Scarlett Fahey, Hannah Sculley and India Brown dominating the event, with the dreamteam

achieving similar results in the U12 Board race and Board Relay.

Other Lennox competitors to watch include Eliza Armstrong, Stephen Moore, Conor Moriarty and Sebastian Fahey, who all performed well at the recent Country Champs.

Byron Bay SLSC also has a wealth of emerging young talent. Young Josh Brown has been a consistently outstanding competitor for a couple of years, winning last year’s Surf Race at the State Champs and blitzing this year’s Under 14 Surf Race, Board Race and Ironman at the NSW Country Championships.

Brunswick’s Ella Heiniger is performing well and will be a serious contender in the Under 14 Ironwoman event. She is one of only fi ve competitors to represent the small Far North Coast club.

Both Byron Bay and Lennox Head–Alstonville will both be sending contingents of around 50 youngsters to Kingscliff next weekend.

The Allphones NSW Age Surf Life Saving Championships run from Friday, March 11, to Sunday, March 13, at Kingscliff Beach.

FIFTH-GENERATION FARMER

Victoria Cosford

In David Trevor-Jones’s small, neat butchery on the family farm, he and his wife Kimberley work at transforming their own beef into sausages. David calls it the ‘shop’ and this is where he spends most of Monday and Tuesday each week.

The family farm spreads over 140 acres of Hayters Hill property; David is fi fth generation. In 1881 his great-grandfather Eli Hayter had settled there and begun, as the town’s fi rst butcher, to supply Byron Bay and its environs with meat. Part of the property was passed on to Eli’s nephew JJ Hayter, who founded a highly successful dairy herd, becoming a founder member and chairman of Norco for several years. Dairying continued there until the 1960s when beef production resumed. An only child, David’s mother Julie married the very Welsh-sounding Owen Trevor-Jones and then went on to produce off spring with very Welsh names. David takes care of the value-added beef and his brother Hugh the eggs, both which sell at local farmers markets.

I stand in the blissful cool of the ‘shop’ for the fi rst part of my chat with David. Lean and bearded and softly-spoken, he exudes the same gentleness and self-deprecation I keep fi nding in men who work on the land – and so it comes as a surprise when I learn about his much-travelled and cosmopolitan background.

When he completed school he decided to defer university, despite having places at both Armidale and Gatton, in Agricultural Science and Rural Management respectively. What he did instead was to take a year off on an exchange program with IAEA, the International Agricultural Exchange Association, which took him fi rst to Canada and then to Denmark. The Canadian stint of seven months was based at an enormous cattle farm whereas in Denmark, whose winter was ‘pretty challenging’, it was a dairy farm.

University was a four-year course which tossed in six months in Indonesia working in a feedlot, looking after the calves. At the end of his degree he came back home, but in the knowledge that he still wanted to do more, to work overseas, even if necessary as a volunteer. A job in the newspaper decided all that, taking him to New Guinea to work on a coconut and cocoa plantation. He was 28 years old and had 500 people working under him. ‘It was amazing living up there,’ he tells me. ‘I extended my three-year contract to four years.’

It was also in New Guinea where he met his future wife. He brought Kimberley back to Hayters Hill, realising that perhaps it was time to settle down. ‘I was always going to look after the cattle, and then the farmers markets came up. So I got into the butchery.’ The cattle are bred and raised on the farm then sent to Casino abattoir to be processed, the carcasses then coming back to Hayters Hill. They are grazed rotationally in virtually chemical-free conditions, and have been environmentally adapted to produce high-yield, high-quality beef. ‘We’ve bred our herd to suit conditions here,’ says David.

He doesn’t get into Byron Bay very much, apart from the Thursday farmers market. ‘Not if I can help it,’ he says. ‘Where I am at in my life, we’re not going out much (the couple have three children). Maybe I lament more the fact my kids can’t surf uncrowded waves. But in saying that, we probably couldn’t do the markets if Byron weren’t as big as it is. It’s double edged!’

Come and enjoy the beautiful views over Shaws Bay. Try our traditional Spanish and Mediterrean tapas, handmade by our Spanish Chef.

We are open for coff ee, cocktails and sangria all day.

Enthusiasts of wines from the Barossa Valley will be pleased to know that South Australia’s award-winning Teusner Wines is first on the program for the 2011 Lyrebird Winemaker’s Dinner Series at Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) on Monday March 21.

‘We are thrilled to commence this year’s Winemaker’s Dinner Series with this respected winemaker from the Barossa Valley, an area with a well-deserved reputation for producing some of Australia’s best wines,’ said QPAC’s Director Patron Services, Tony Smith.

‘Teusner Wines carefully select fruit from old, well-maintained vineyards in the northern Barossa Valley, producing balanced, complex wine that has been highly awarded and recognised by wine lovers.

‘Whether we have had the pleasure of your company before at one of our fun and informative Winemaker’s Dinners, or it is your first time, we encourage you to come and experience these lovingly produced wines, perfectly matched to five delicious courses, expertly prepared by Lyrebird Chef, Zac Ruston.’

Founder and winemaker Kym Teusner said he is looking forward to sharing information about Teusner Wines during the evening.

‘Our philosophy at Teusner Wines is to produce only exceptional, affordable wines by being very careful about the fruit that we source, which we do so predominantly from family and close friends. This allows Teusner selectivity in which fruit we vinify,’ he said.

Teusner’s 2008 Dog Strangler Mataro picked up the Best Alternative Red Wine in Campbell Mattinson, and Gary Walsh’s Big Red Wine Book and the 2009 vintage made the cut for James Halliday’s Top 100 in the Weekend Australian in 2010.

The winery had great success in the 2010 Barossa Wine Show, entering five wines for a haul of five medals and three trophies including one for Most Successful Exhibitor at the show. The 2009 Joshua Grenache Mataro Shiraz picked up top gold and the trophy for Best Grenache Mataro Shiraz, and the 2009 The Independent Shiraz Mataro grabbed the top gold and the trophy for the Best Dry Red, Other Varieties and Blends. The 2006 Astral Series Mataro featured in the ‘Best of the Best’ section of Nick Stock’s 2011 Good Wine Guide, scoring a healthy 96 points and the 2009 The Independent Shiraz Mataro received the award for Best Value Red Wine of the Year.

To reserve a place at the Winemaker’s Dinner Series evenings, go to www.qpac.com.au or call 136 246.

Juniors are Master golfers Historic Q-Clash for Suns

The opening quarter of the Gold Coast Suns v Brisbane Lions Queensland Clash or as it will be-come known as the ‘Q-Clash’, was a demostration of the world of possibilites in store for the AFL as the new team stepped onto the paddock for the historic first ever clash of the Queenslanders. The Suns’ defender Jarrod Harbrow was all over the ball in this contest with a pack of Lions dur-ing Sunday afternoon’s game which eventually saw the felines out-play the rookies: the Lions 16.20.121 to the Suns 7.12.54.

Ocean Shores Public School had some fantastic results at the Regional Swimming Car-nival last week.

All members of the school’s team performed extremely well with many PBs recorded. Eleven students have qualified for the state carnival to be held in Sydney on March 28 and 29. The Junior Boys relay team of Julian Dorfer, Shaun Booth, Joshua Brett and Jake Hayes, the Senior Girls Relay team of Jemma Holt, Nicole Dorfer, Isabella Brett and Ruby Wat-son will compete at the event as will Nicole in the 100 m free-style, 50m freestyle, 50m but-terfly and Jemma in the 50m butterfly as well as Cody Plautz in the Open 100m freestyle, 50m butterfly; Cheyenne Pyne in the 50m butterly and Finn Reece in the 8 yrs Freestyle.

The school will look at the possibility of fundraising ac-tivities to help the large team get to Sydney.

About 80 golfers competed on Sunday in the Ocean Shores Junior Masters which is a qualifier for the Greg Norman Golf Foundation Masters. The quality was exemplary with the likes of Annie Choi from Ko-rea who has only been playing golf for four years, and who in 2010 won the Australian Girls Amateur Championship. Fu-

ture and current stars Anna Lim who at 13 years of age plays off scratch. Michelle Gunawan from Coolangatta-Tweed and our own Jess Dengate all played a fantastic round on the Ocean Shores course.

The boys also had a hot field: Tim Hyland from Bon-ville and Luke Bourke from the Gold Coast along with Jimmy

Chung, Charles Ryu, Brenton Parrish and Jack Sullivan.Tim Hyland ended the day with the trophy with a courageous 73 with the only real blemish be-ing a three putt on the 11th for a bogey.

Pictured are the girls who played together: Michelle, girl’s winner Anna, Annie and Jessie.

Brunswick Nippers’ star BeauDespite sending a small con-tingent of only five competitors to the State Surf Life Saving Championships at Kingscliff on the weekend, Brunswick nippers outperformed many of their larger rivals by tak-ing home a gold and a silver medal contested by over 2500 competitiors from throughout the state.

The star for Brunswick was Beau Carter who won gold in the under 8 sprints beating al-most 200 of the best competi-tors throughout NSW.

Beau, who was awarded the ‘Best U8 Competitor of the Year’ for the Far North Coast Branch at the recent branch championships, showed the opposition why by dominating the sprint event and collecting the gold medal.

Pulse of new housing too slow, says HIA Th e pulse of the new home building sector is running considerably slo-wer than that required to meet the nation’s housing needs, claims the Housing Industry Association.

‘ABS fi gures [released last week] confi rm the weak state of the new home building sector, providing a very soft update for the number of owner occupier loans for new hou-sing,’ said HIA Chief Economist Dr Harley Dale.

Th e number of loans for construc-tion fell by 9.4 per cent in January 2011 to reach the lowest level since December 2008. Loans for the pur-chase of new dwellings dropped by 13.5 per cent in January 2011, which was also the weakest level since December 2008. Much of the impro-vement in new home lending seen in the December 2010 quarter has now been wiped out.

‘An unequivocally weak update on housing fi nance for January 2011 reinforces the appropriateness of a

steady interest rate environment,’ Dr Dale said. ‘It is important the Reser-ve Bank maintains a clear message of stable rates. Housing, like the majority of non-resource sectors, is performing below par in 2011.

‘Even if it turns out there is a larger than usual amount of “noise” in this January update for housing fi nance, leading indicators have still been signalling for a long time now that new dwelling starts will decline once more in 2011.

‘Th at means there will have been only two years in the last ten (2002 and 2010) when starts have risen.

‘Th e long term trend decline in new home building in Australia is an appalling blight on the housing aff ordability landscape, especially for prospective entry level buyers (lending for which got off to a weak start in 2011) and renters. Short term interest rate stability is vitally important, but the onus is fi rmly on all levels of government to reinvigo-

rate the policy reforms necessary to reduce the costs of new housing.

‘In seasonally adjusted terms, in January 2011 the number of owner occupier loans for new housing fell by 8.4 per cent in New South Wales, 14.5 per cent in Victoria, 20.9 per cent in Queensland, 14.5 per cent in

Tasmania, 8.1 per cent in the Nor-thern Territory, and 30 per cent in the Australian Capital Territory.

‘Th e number of loans for new housing increased by 1.7 per cent in South Australia in January 2011 and was up by 3.1 per cent in Western Australia.’

Th e new Property Council of Aus-tralia/IPD Green Property Invest-ment Index has for the fi rst time given the Australian market clear evidence of the importance of green investment revealing that offi ce buil-dings with an environmental rating outperform non-rated buildings.

Launched at the property in-dustries signature green building conference Green Cities www.greencities.org.au outperformance was seen across each star rating, with the strongest returns observed in four star rated assets, according to the report.

Th e index tracks investment per-formance of commercial buildings that have been awarded an environ-mental performance rating from Green Star, NABERS Energy and NABERS Water, with the current

results covering the last two years to December 2010.

Dr Anthony De Francesco, Mana-ging Director of IPD in Australia and New Zealand, said the results demons-trate a clear win for green investment.

‘Th e return spread between rated and non-rated buildings is around

400 basis points,’ he said.‘In addition, rated offi ce buildings

have a lower capitalisation rate than non-rated buildings, in the order of 40 basis points. Th e outperforman-ce in returns is consistent across various market segmentations.

‘As a whole the pool of rated NA-

BERS Energy assets outperformed the unrated assets. Interestingly, the 4-5 star rated properties outperfor-med the non-rated assets while the 0.5-3.5 star rated properties under-performed the non-rated assets. Also, these NABERS rated properties delivered lower capitalisation rates

than the non-rated properties, al-though only marginally.’

Th e Property Council of Australia/IPD Green Property Investment In-dex currently represents about A$36 billion of offi ce buildings, refl ecting 71 per cent of the offi ce assets in the IPD database.

Th e state election is on in ear-nest and fortunately there are only ten more sleeps to go. Read about our local candidates in the news pages and get all the background at http://votensw.info. Th ere are 48,324 folks en-rolled to vote for the seat of Bal-lina; at the last election in 2007, 41,051 votes were counted, 17,621 of them going to Don Page on first preferences, followed by Labor’s Melanie Doriean 9,330 and Greens’ John Bailey 7,861.

And we liked this report on ABC North Coast online: ‘Th e Nationals’ MP Steve Cansdell [Clarence] drew the number-four position. His main rival, independent Richie William-son, drew the top spot. Mr Candell says it’s a scenario that reminds him of the movie I Am Number Four. “It’s about this John Smith from the planet Lorien and he’s on the run from all the Mogadorians who are trying to chase him,” he said. “So it just I suppose talks about this guy, a young protagonist who understands that his des-tiny was a much greater calling than just being who he was and we thought ‘well we’ll just put a bit of an analogy there with us,” Mr Cansdell said.’ Go Steve – a bit more Mogadorian action is just what this election needs.

Th ere’s not a lot of good to be said for slaughtering chickens en masse in cramped condi-tions, nor for Inghams stone-walling us on the details of its purchase of Sunnybrand. If you want to eat chicken, buy it from a local, bona fi de organic, fre-erange producer or the butch-ers they sell to. Better still, learn to kill the chicken yourself and understand more fully where your food comes from.

Our goof: in a reference to rats and the Black Death in Geoff Dawes’s article last week we at one stage referred to the 19th century rather than the 14th. Interesting background on the

Black Death and its cause, the Oriental Rat Flea, is available at www.insecta-inspecta.com/fl eas/bdeath/bdeath.html.

Th e Echo is under attack in a pink pamphlet titled ‘Th e Let-ter Th e Byron Shire Echo Re-fused To Print’. No, it’s not by Fast Buck$, but is an attack on Buck$ himself in his role as a landlord. We’re also accused of giving him carte blanche, which has never been the case. We decided not to print the let-ter because it’s defamatory, and the author did not want to be named. As we noted last week in Backlash, any tenants having a problem can get good advice from the Northern Rivers Ten-ants Advice and Advocacy Ser-vice (NRTAAS) on 6621 1022 or 1800 649 135.
