Fracking: are mining companies poisoning local water tables? Ray Moynihan

A rare alliance of farmers and environmentalists looks set to succeed in its push for tougher regulation of the controversial process of fracking, which has recently come to the Northern Rivers, where domestic and foreign-owned companies hold widespread rights to explore for gas. Fracking, or Fracking, involves high pressure pumping of potentially toxic chemicals down wells to fracture rocks and release gas in coal seams or other reserves. It has raised serious concerns through documentaries such as Gasland, and a recent ABC TV Four Corners investigative report. According to its opponents, the process poisons water tables and leaves damaged ecosystems in its wake.

Beating the drums for Japan

The state Minister for North Coast Don Page told The Echo the new government would ‘immediately implement a tougher process, taking a precautionary approach’ which would retrospectively apply to existing exploration licences, and use ‘much greater caution’ in granting new ones. The demand for a moratorium however, being pushed by farmers, environmentalists, The Greens, Rous Water, and the Lock the Gate alliance, appears to remain unmet. There were ‘numbers never seen before at Durrumbul Hall’, say organisers of the Concert for Japan held last Saturday. ‘Over $30,000 was raised for Japan earthquake charities. The people of the rainbow region opened their heart to the people of Japan. Thanks to the artists, volunteers and the Durrumbul community for allowing us to Several gas companies are active host this expression of grassroots community generosity and international solidarity with the people of Japan. in the region, including the foreign Ganbare Nihon!’ Pictured on percussion, Qarsim Alum-zadzh, and didg player Eshua Bolton, who performed the owned Arrow, which has a licence smoking ceremony.

The New South Wales Farmers Federation’s vice-president Fiona Simson told The Echo her group has ‘huge concerns’ about the ‘inexact science’ of fracking, and potential contamination from the chemicals involved, which aren’t registered for use in underground water systems.

 Byron Police are warning citizens not to film their activities and threatening them with action for interfering in their work, despite such filming being entirely legal. The Echo became aware of the warnings not to film when your correspondent witnessed an altercation between police and a group of local youths in the early hours of a recent weekend. Two officers were overheard telling the group they could not record police on their camera phones unless they had the officers’ permission. When your correspondent indicated this was likely incorrect, his details were recorded and he was told he could face action for ‘interfering in a police investigation.’ However, according to the NSW Police Force’s own media unit, ‘Members of the public have the right to take photographs of or film police officers, and incidents involving police officers, which are observable from

a public space, or from a privately owned place with the consent of the owner [or] occupier.’ NSW Council of Civil Liberties president Cameron Murphy says police intimidation of amateur and even professional photographers is a serious and growing problem. ‘Police fear being filmed when they are acting beyond their powers or being unreasonable or aggressive,’ he told The Echo.

Beyond police’s power ‘We’ve had a number of incidents where police have seized cameras from journalists‌ it’s beyond the police’s power to do that, but we’ve had a number of incidents where this has been reported to us.’ The youths told The Echo they were filming the police because officers had allegedly used heavy-handed tactics and they wished to discourage any further incident. It’s an approach Murphy would like to encourage. ‘I’d hope that citizens that take pic-

tures when they see police acting in a manner that’s unbecoming of a police officer,’ Murphy said. ‘They have to be as accountable as anyone else.’ However, police may be able to use other powers against would-be citizen journalists. ‘Even if the police give you an unlawful direction, if the officer believes it’s lawful, they can arrest you for failing to follow a lawful direction,’ Murphy said. The good news is courts tend to take a dim view of such charges. A Tweed/Byron Local Area Command spokesperson said they were not aware of any of its officers advising members of the public that it is illegal to film police. If any member of the public has concerns or a complaint about officer conduct they should contact the NSW Police Force Customer Assistance Unit on 1800 622 571 between 8am and 4pm.

sessed by the national regulator, and government agencies are raising serious questions about potential environmental impacts. In December the National Water Commissioner warned while the coal seam gas industry brought economic opportunities, without adequate regulation it posed risks of ‘significant, long-term and adverse impacts on surface and groundwater systems’, adding that cumulative effects were ‘not well understood.’ In September, a draft report prepared by the federal environment department on major projects in Queensland outlined ‘significant concerns’ about ‘the inability of proponents to accurately quantify their individual and collective impacts’ from projects that could run for 30 years.

‘Significant impacts’ That report warned the projects were ‘likely to have a significant impact’ on threatened native species, and expressed

grave concerns about effects on water pressure and chemistry, the time for water systems to recover, the volume of salt and heavy metals in waste, and land subsidence.

Exploration wells The foreign-owned Arrow Energy has so far drilled 15 exploration wells in this region, including at nearby Bexhill, and vice-president Tony Knight says fracking will likely be used at wells selected for pilot drilling, possibly as early as next year. Arrow’s own assessment of environmental impacts states ‘oil-based and synthetic-base drilling fluids will not be used’. However when required ‘some additives’ may be used which are ‘generally either natural or environmentally friendly/biodegradable and classified as low or medium hazard.’ The company’s document also states neighbours may be affected by noise from drilling 12 hours a day, seven days a week for up to a month or

Protests planned for Tara, QLD A day trip to the protest site at Tara, QLD, is being planned by Anthea Amore, ‘to support and offer solidarity to farmers and property owners. ‘It’s a lead-up to the Lock

the Gate – National Action from April 30 to May 3. ‘I hope to get many buses/ car pooling organised for that week.’ For more call Anthea on 0422 383 151.

more, and reveals drilling is occurring within several hundred metres of creeks and other water sources. According to the Environmental Defenders Office, mining companies have to first seek permission to explore on private property, but can, with court backing, ultimately drill without consent of the landowner as close as 50 metres to houses and gardens. However Tony Knight says Arrow will not explore on land without the owner’s agreement, an approach echoed by other industry figures including the managing director of Clarence Moreton Resources, which is also drilling in the region.

‘Wouldn’t use harmful chemicals’ Peter Francis says his company would ‘never go onto a site unless it had a pre-agreement with that land owner’, and that if the company had to use fracking, ‘we wouldn’t be using harmful chemicals.’ The chief financial officer of Australian owned Metgasco, Glenda McLoughlin, believes industry doesn’t need to change the nature of its practices, but rather, communicate better with the pubic. ‘We take our environmental responsibilities seriously,’ she told The Echo.

Potential carcinogens Rejecting the claim, National Toxics Network adviser Ms Marianne Lloyd-Smith said fracking can involve ‘very serious chemicals’, including potential carcinogens and others never found in the home, much of which remain in the ground after drilling occurs. Meanwhile in Queensland, where the industry is involved in billions of dollars worth of projects, opposition is focussed around Tara, west of Toowoomba, where a blockade of a gas pipeline is underway organised by the Lock the Gate alliance. The NSW department of planning is accepting submissions on its proposed Coal and Gas strategy – designed in part to minimise environmental impacts – until this Friday April 15.

Community OS Roundhouse plans unveiled Hans Lovejoy

Roundhouse Action Group (RAG)’s plans for a self-funded community and cultural centre have been announced and will be presented to Council this Thursday. The prime parcel of Councilowned land in Ocean Shores has, for many years, been an underutilised public asset. Since it was acquired in 1993, the 1.388 hectare site has remained largely unused. RAG’s comprehensive 100page business plan hopes to persuade Council and staff that its long-term business model would be preferable to selling the land outright; something which The Echo undertands councillors and staff are mostly in favour of. The community group claim that 21 units for short-term accommodation would help pay for capital works and ongoing costs. Other income streams have also been examined, they say, including a cafe, gallery, auditorium as well as government grants. ‘We want to turn the Ocean Shores Roundhouse site into the best innovative, self-powered community cultural facility in the Northern Rivers region – and showcase the Byron creative arts,’ RAG spokesperson Ri Fraser says.

Architect Jerry Cook’s concept plan, along with a 100-page business plan, will be presented to Council this Thursday.

‘Byron Shire Council has a unique opportunity to create a flagship community project – a public gallery for the cultural arts and promote cultural tourism. ‘Council and community can work together to achieve a public cultural arts facility for the shire on a unique landmark site.’

Funding Ms Fraser claims RAG’s budget projections show an annual surplus of around $500,000 and can be achieved with 75 per cent occupancy rates. ‘MP Don Page has undertaken to obtain funding for the Roundhouse Project in the range of $250,000 to $300,000

for a development application and design work. ‘This would be from the State and Regional Development portfolio, perhaps under a new name. ‘We have amended our budget for the first full operating year of the 21 motel units to include this funding. The cultural centre will be built as the final stage of the project.’

Community survey ‘A survey was conducted on the use of the site last August and September,’ she said. ‘The Roundhouse Action Group surveyed the local community (coastal north and Mullumbimby), under the auspices of the Ocean Shores Community Association and Ocean Shores Art Expo, and with support from other community organisations. ‘This was done in response to a resolution of Council asking for confirmation of community wishes for the land. The result demonstrated an overwhelming support for a multipurpose cultural centre on the site.’

Cultural Centre Facilities Facilities at the centre include a performance space/community cinema, coffee shop/ restaurant, exhibition space/ gallery, meeting/conference/ office space, tourist information office and shop, archival museum and workshops, sur-

rounding gardens, picnic area and playground. ‘We have worked with the local Aboriginal community on this project,’ RAG’s Jan Mangleson told The Echo, ‘and representatives have attended our public functions and planning over the past year. ‘We are planning for significant Aboriginal cultural input into our art gallery and museum. ‘It is planned to run our cinema/theatre as a showcase for the local film industry with shorts, docos, etc, every day. We are in consultation with theatre experts on acoustics, theatre design etc. ‘The plan to build 21 units on the northern slope which are for short-term visitor accommodation is of interest to Golf Tourism Australia and Northern Rivers Tourism, who say there is a lack of accommodation for golfers and for visitors generally in the area. ‘RAG’s financial consultants assessed that there would be $500,000 per year net income at 75 per cent occupancy rate after interest and running costs. It is likely the occupancy rate would be much higher.’

Architect’s vision ‘I am using ancient stonehengey monolithic forms,’ says (retired) architect Jerry Cook, ‘and then in contrast, more modern forms; a long timeline of creative energy, which is what this project is all about. ‘There is also a relationship with the sea, whale forward fins in the stone monolith forms, and Mt Warning, the lifting curve at the entry – Mt warning being an old volcano edge that lifts out of the curve. We also have nearby Mt Chincogan with a similar feel. ‘The taller round part is a cafe with amazing 360-degree views of the sea, whale watchers’ heaven, and scenic forest view, including Mt Warning in the distance. ‘Just below that there is a local arts and crafts shop, and on the lower level there is an historical area and theatre.’ Q See letters page 12

‘Passion’ the word for Writers Fest Victoria Cosford

A circus tent and the singer Kamahl will both make appearances at this year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival. Introducing the recent Sponsors Launch, new director Candida Baker told the crowd that she was particularly excited about its theme of passion. Now in its 15th year, the Festival will be held between August 5 and 7, with workshops beginning on August 1. Candida told The Echo that this year there would be ‘a lot of performance, more crossgenre stuff, where art meets words and science meets words. There’ll be more music and art.’ The festival’s tag-line of ‘feel the passion’ has made it an exciting challenge for her to work out how to manifest it, she said.

‘Once I began to identify what passion meant in terms of the writer, I saw that it produced writers with extraordinary stories to tell.’ One such writer is Matina Jewell, who grew up in the hinterland of Byron and who reached the rank of major in the army at the age of 24.

New library for learning

Retired several years ago, she has written a book called Caught In The Crossfire, to be published next month. ‘She’s not a household name yet but I think you’ll enjoy the depth of passion she had as a soldier,’ Candy said. To celebrate the Festival’s 15th birthday there will be a

sculpture competition with substantial prize money. ‘And we’re having a circus tent – partly because I’ve always wanted an excuse and partly as somewhere to put all the arts and entertainment I’ve gathered,’ she said. ‘Paul Kelly has also agreed to do a concert.’ Phillip Adams, Caroline Overington, Louis de Bernieres, Betty Churcher and Charlie Pickering are just some of the line-up. More information can be found on the website www.byronbaywritersfestival.com, where tickets can also be purchased.

Two shark towers were located on the beach to warn swimmers. ‘If a large shark came within sight of the beach, a bell would ring from the tower,’ says Peter. ‘With all the bravado of the old whaling crews, men from the surf club would quickly launch the surfboat in pursuit.’ For more see wwwbyronbaybook.com.

Dog traps net 75 wild dogs; calls for greater action Cr Patrick Morrisey is calling on the State Government to do more on addressing the wild dog problem in the area. ‘Seventy-five wild dogs have been caught in the Byron Shire hinterland in the past two years; ten in the past three weeks, which is thanks to the initiative of community groups and a private dog trapper,’ he said. ‘But the NSW Government’s lead agency responsible Livestock Health and Pest Authority (LHPA) won’t participate in trapping.’ The entire 75 were caught were by one individual, Cr Morrisey claims, and ‘clearly demonstrates the extent of wild dogs roaming the bush.’ He added no wild dogs trapped were dingos. ‘Thanks must go to the Landcare groups and landholders who have paid for the wild dog trapper out of their own pockets,’ he said.

‘A community initiated public meeting was held recently where Landcare groups, NPWS, LHPA, Byron Council, private trappers and farmers attended. There was a strong call for trapping; however LHPA – North East Region (Lismore), the authority responsible, remain reluctant to allocate funds for trapping, yet they clearly wanted to retain ‘ownership’ of any initiative to control wild dogs by only using 1080 baiting. ‘Individuals and community groups are now having better success using a private trapper than working with this NSW government authority by still have to pay rates to the authority. ‘The trapping is a reprieve for livestock and our wildlife. ‘We can only imagine what these wild dogs have been living on in this biodiversity hot spot, certainly not fresh air,’ Cr Morrisey said.

‘Byron Shire Council will be considering allocating $20,000 for trapping wild dogs, foxes and wild cats at its next ordinary meeting on Thursday April 14. ‘I ask all Northern Rivers Councils and LHPA to join with Byron Shire and allocate similar funds to pay a professional dog trapper,’ said Cr Morrisey. ‘The community is leading the way. Councils are following. The NSW Government’s LHPA need to follow the community’s lead and adopt trapping in this region or provide funds to those who are doing the work. ‘The LHPA can no longer continue to charge landholders a rate for no effective service.’ Cr Morrisey says the LHPA in northeast NSW mainly use 1080 baits distributed ‘by just a couple of rangers across the whole Northern Rivers Region

Business bottom line Supporting local business Local brewery voted best beer in Ausralia Not even three years old, local brewing company Stone & Wood has just had its Pacific Ale voted Australia’s best beer by a panel of respected industry members. This impressive result emerged with the launch of The Critics’ Choice: Australia’s Best Beers, the latest beer book to hit the shelves. Co-founders of the company Brad Rogers, Ross Jurisich and Jamie Cook did not take long to establish themselves at the forefront of Australia’s rapidly growing craft beer market, with their Pacific Ale having already been selected as one of Australia’s Top 20 beers by the Weekend Australian Magazine in November 2010, and in the top three of the Hottest 100 Craft Beers consumer poll in January this year.

Mullum Farmers Market turns one Twelve months ago Mullumbimby Farmers Market set itself up at the Showgrounds – and has been flourishing on Friday mornings ever since. To celebrate its first birthday a party is being organised on Friday April 15, with a free community feast and Spaghetti Circus acts. Tables of market party food, including a kids-only party table, will be erected and served by market regulars. Coinciding with the birthday will be the launch of the Mullum Farmers Market School Gardens Project, and representatives of schools who have so far expressed interest in sourcing funding will be in attendance.

Seventeen years helping people Seventeen years in the one profession is an achievement in itself – and one local man has not only notched that up at On-Q Human Resources but also made a real difference to the local youth employment figures in that period.\ Gary Gerken has helped nearly 200 clients across four office locations find work in the local area. In addition to that he has witnessed, and been required to adapt to, many changes in what employers expect when they look for staff, especially when it comes to school leavers. When he first started working for the organisation there was much less call for qualifications and skills, whereas now expectations are much higher.

Comment/News

We’ve come a long way since Rodney King How access to phone cameras is changing the democratic landscape Patrick Gray

 â€˜Citizen journalism’ is a term that has had a lot of press, but the practice is older than many assume: video of police beating Rodney King demonstrated the power of the public eye two decades ago. That nearly everyone walking the street today is carrying a mobile telephone equipped with a camera is a bit of a game changer. These days it’s not unusual to see camera-phone footage caught by normal citizens used in television news bulletins, for example. But is there a difference between an ordinary citizen with a camera phone and a journalist with a camera crew? As much as it might bother the local constabulary, a 16-year-old with an iPhone has the same rights as a com-

mercial news crew. There are no special rights afforded to members of the press; the only difference is media representatives tend to know their rights. Citizen journalists need to know theirs also. In a world where anyone with a smartphone can publish footage to websites like YouTube directly from the device, citizen journalism is playing an increasingly important role in the dissemination of information, particularly in countries that oppress media freedom. Some argue recent events in the Middle East were, in part, triggered by camera-phone footage. The day after a young fruit vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, self-immolated in protest after he was robbed and beaten by corrupt Tunisian police, a small group of protestors gathered

to express their outrage at the events that lead to Bouazizi’s self immolation. That five-minute video of the small protest went viral over Facebook, fuelling further protests in Tunisia and ultimately a revolt that has swept through the entire region. In the USA, transit police in the Californian city of Oakland were filmed by camera phones fatally shooting unarmed man Oscar Grant on new year’s day 2009. Without the footage it would have been difficult to lay charges against the officer involved. Saddam Hussein’s last words and execution were captured on a phone, and while caught by a traditional video camera and not a phone, raw footage of the death of student Neda AghaSoltan during protests against widespread electoral fraud in Iran went viral on the internet,

outraging those who viewed it. Agha-Soltan’s portrait became the defining image in the ultimately failed struggle against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s regime. The sort of transparency made possible through citizen journalism, combined with massive document spills like those featured on WikiLeaks, flips the Big Brother paradigm on its head. Instead of the state knowing everything about the citizen, increasingly the citizen knows more and more about the state. It could very well be the dawn of the Little Brother age, and authorities need to learn that they have nothing to fear from transparency. If police are doing their jobs to the letter of the law, why should they care if a 16-yearold films them on their mobile phone?

Mullum lane becomes a parking lot Victoria Cosford

Mullumbimby residents are becoming increasingly frustrated with a laneway which never seems to be policed for parking. McGoughans Lane, in the heart of town, runs both ways, yet is often transformed into a car-park. Trucks needing to access rear lanes as well as pedestrians are inconvenienced in a town where parking, thanks to Last Thursday Echo staff wit- the laneway, which accesses the construction of Woolworths and the new council rounda- nessed two trucks unable to medical facilities, cafes and bout, is already at a premium. manoeuvre their way through other businesses.

A spokesperson for Byron Shire Council told The Echo that it’s a no-parking area and a fine can be issued. They also said additional patrols of the area will be undertaken to help remind traffic to move on. The fine for parking in a noparking zone is $86. Photo Eve Jeffery

above all affordable; when a large part of the tax is returned to consumers as compensation for the inevitable price rises, the rich will barely notice the difference and some of the poor might even finish up ahead.

It’s still more than a year before any effects from the proposed carbon tax will kick in, but already prices, particularly electricity, petrol and food, appear to be going through the roof. At least some of the increases are actually due to delays in implementing the tax, but Abbott and his colleagues have quite consciously and deliberately adopted the strategy of blaming the tax for everything: the big lie is, as always, the simplest approach. And as scare campaigns go, it is going pretty well and it will continue to flourish unless and until Gillard and her colleagues can come up with some hard numbers to counter it. And by then, if Abbott can establish a public mood of fear and mistrust, it may be too late. Having paid his respects to his personal God every evening, Abbott must also breathe a prayer of thanks to the fridge magnet that gave him the idea: I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you for it.

er problem: following Abbott’s diatribes about broken election promises she is seen not so much as a liar, but as malleable, even weak. She responds too readily to pressure, from her colleagues, from her opponents such as the miners and now perhaps the pubs and clubs, and from the opinion polls. Her word cannot be trusted, not because she is, like Abbott, deliberately mendacious, but because she is just as likely to change her mind next time she addresses

the subject. After all, she has certainly done so at least once about the whole carbon price issue, as Rudd rather unnecessarily reminded the world last week. And the electorate’s disappointment is more profound because she came to the job with much good will and sympathy: our first female prime minister thrown in at the deep end, in hugely difficult circumstances and before she was fully prepared for the task. We had high hopes for her, and she has let us down. As Shakespeare put it in rather harsher context: Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

B

ut if Gillard is getting a caning from the polls, it’s nothing compared to what the Greens are getting from the loony right wing media – and yes, Chris Mitchell, we do mean The Australian. The beleaguered party must feel that there is no justice. For years it has copped a hammering for being a single issue party, a bunch of fanatical fringe dwellers with no idea or understanding of the real process of government.

But now that it has developed a wider social agenda and is on its way to becoming a player with policies covering most aspects of Australian politics, it is lambasted for deserting its roots: get back to tree-hugging, scream the critics. There are several reasons for the outburst of unbridled hatred from the conservatives, led by the usual Mafiosi of News Limited. One is simply the fact that Greens are a party of the far left, at least in Australian terms; this alone makes them unacceptable to the professional Tories. The second, obviously, is that they are on the brink of assuming the balance of power in the senate, and like all minority parties in hung houses of parliament, will obtain clout far beyond their actual voter support. At various times this has been the case with the Country Party (now called Nationals), the DLP, the Democrats and even individual independent senators: Harradine, Fielding and Xenophon are names that come instantly to mind but there have been others. This travesty of democracy is perfectly forgivable when the minority is on your side, but if it’s not, then expunge it from the face of the earth. But I suspect the real issue for The Australian, or at least for many of its columnists, is that the Greens are seen as anti-religious; they are pagan worshippers of Gaia or worse and should be stoned to death as blasphemers. Actually there are quite a lot of seriously Christian greenies, an obvious example being Peter Garrett. But they don’t count; they are merely dupes in the grip of the godless communist juggernaut now running out of the control of its revered and selfless founders – the ones we used to despise as the nutters with fairies in the bottom of the garden. See, it’s all perfectly logical, at least if you work for The Australian.

Letters Solar up I was thrilled to read that Byron Council has plans to introduce energy efficient street lights and has already installed energy efficient lighting in the Station Street building. Wonderful news. But it did get me wondering why Council doesn’t have a whole raft of solar panels on their roof – such a beautifully exposed to sunlight roof – to set an example to the whole community, as well as doing the right thing by the environment and the future. Maybe that’s next. Hope springs eternal. Bronwyn Sindel

Mullumbimby

Play the ball I’m not surprised Cr Simon Richardson chooses personal attack rather than focus on the issue at hand. I’m getting used to that, but I am surprised The Echo published such a defamatory letter (‘Sportfields not a Greens conspiracy’, April 5). The Echo’s news story (‘Council still divided over sports field’, March 29) was about two councillors’ concerns over how to best manage Council’s finances at a very expensive project and specifically why certain councillors keep trying to enlarge the project when Council is ‘financially challenged’. We all support arts and sport, that aspect is irrelevant. The issue is about managing public funds. My other comment about some of the Greens appearing to be captured by special interest groups relates to witnessing some of their voting patterns on various property development DAs, LEP amendments, leases, licences and committee appointments. Of course they’ll argue their votes were based on merit, but

Verging on the ridiculous Last Wednesday afternoon, while teaching yoga to the Mullumbimby high school students at the hall next to the Uniting church, I had my car parked out on the side of the road. (Note: not the path, grass or the grounds of the church but on the side of the road.) I came back to my car and found this note: ‘Dear Subaru driving resident of Mullumbimby, ‘I ask with much sympathy that you DO NOT park your car here for a prolonged amount of God’s precious time again! This is a SACRED SITE that is to be shared by Anglicans only! And I definitely know you are not Anglican by the state of your car! ‘This is also an “Alcohol Free Zone” and you are not alcohol free! Please take my free, soulsearching, compassionate words into consideration. I will pray for you! God always forgives.’ I was astounded and humoured. At first I thought it must be a practical joke. What do you think? Unfortunately the note had no legible name or number I could respond to so I hope the writer of the note reads The Echo as I do wish them to know how wrong their judgments of my perception is different. Councillors are bound by a Code of Conduct and need to declare conflicts of interest. I take these matters seriously.

me are and that their note does not inspire me to join the Anglican Church, even though I have no problems with the church (my parents-in-law are Anglican themselves and good people). For the person that wrote this note I have a few questions: 1. How can you tell if someone is not Anglican by the state of their car? My car has only a bit of superficial dirt on it due to the fact I drive on dirt roads every day. Yes, I live in the country and my Anglican neighbours have cars as dirty as mine. 2. How can you be so ‘sure’ I was ‘not alcohol free’ when you have never met me? I hardly drink and I certainly was alcohol free at the time, when teaching yoga. There were no alcohol bottles (full or empty) in my car

Is Ocean Shores to be shafted on Roundhouse plans? Q Well, it looks like the rate paying residents of Ocean Shores are to be shafted again by our illustrious councillors. I understand that the staff have advised the councillors to vote against the development of the Roundhouse site for a cultural centre. Having worked on the petition to gather support from the community with a result of 97 per cent for the cultural centre, and having witnessed firsthand the time, effort and expertise that has gone into putting this project together, I just cannot believe or accept that the councillors, on the ‘advice’ of the staff (who?) are just going to blatantly ignore the residents again. I believe it’s all about money. They need to sell off the Roundhouse site to developers for the cash to help pay for the mess they’ve gotten into with

the out-of-control sports fields. Typical. Dear councillors (and staff ) you have other assets that you can sell off and you know this. Give Ocean Shores a fair go. Give the rate paying residents what they have asked for. Your intended action is so unfair and so petty. Go sell something else off to get you out of the crap. I believe we will be put in our place at the Council meeting Thursday April 14. I will be there to see you take away the last piece of community land in Ocean Shores from the community. You and your ‘staff ’ are a joke and a disgrace. Donna Hammond

community and professional consultants, is before Council. Council staff recommendation is unlikely to favour the community’s wishes for a cultural centre since the dollars from a sell-off have been in their sights for some time. Council has eleven blocks, which are all large enough for dual occupancy potential. Therefore there could be up to 22 dwellings on the site for private residences, plus two adjoining lots, property of the Ocean Shores Country Club that has a right of way over the Roundhouse land. Alternatively, as a cultural centre, the site would be available for the whole Shire as our first public art gallery and cultural precinct. Architects and engineers have designed effective mitigation measures for noise and traffic. The park-

ing would be lowered behind earth embankments or walls, the theatre is underground and there is to be a permanent manager on site for security. The Country Club’s right of way has been designed to the satisfaction of the Board. The plan to build 21 units on the northern slope, which are for short-term visitor accommodation, is of interest to Golf Tourism Australia and Northern Rivers Tourism, who say there is a lack of accommodation for golfers and for visitors generally in the area. RAG’s financial consultants assessed that there would be $500,000 per year net income at 75 per cent occupancy rate after interest and running costs. It is likely the occupancy rate would be much higher. The project is proposed to be run by a community Round-

Others are two community gardens committees on public land with more proposed. They are well run by community groups who are mostly volunteers. The Roundhouse Trust would be a not-for-profit organisation with proceeds going back into the cultural centre precinct.

councillors will not vote with the community’s wishes foremost. Instead, they may make the decision to sell a supreme public asset and go ahead with the subdivision.

Myocum, it’s all right now, matter of fact it’s a gas… Q I am one of the residents in Myocum affected by the toxic gas from the tip but after speaking with Jan Barham I realise the problem with this council is bigger than just the tip smell. Jan told me that the first she knew of the tip problem was when she saw it on the news and when questioning Council they said there had only been a few calls concerning the smell. A few? Personally I made at least 20 calls in the last three years and all were unanswered. Now I find out many others have done the same. So, of course, we will have to stay on this until the problem is permanently solved and we have to do this because Council has shown us that they cannot be trusted to do their job. There are many stories like this around the Byron Shire. The fact that they don’t even report problematic situations to the Mayor shows another degree of irresponsibility. I am a member of the SES and one thing I notice when we are working is that it takes a long time for us to get physically tired and that is because of the satisfaction of helping people and doing a good hard day’s work.

Economics of happiness: further examination needed Q The Echo’s interview of Helena Norberg-Hodge raised two fundamental issues: localism vs globalism and cooperation vs competition. The need for localism is driven by the environmental cost of transportation. I see this as resulting from the use of unsustainable methods of transportation. Sustainable global transportation is possi-

ble and will be developed when the environmental costs are included in economic decisions. As to Helena’s view that ‘the separation and competition of the modern world is antithetical to our deepest needs’, it is on a par with saying that homosexuality is antithetical to our deepest needs. Surely we understand now

Photo Competition

that the human species, like other species, thrives on diversity. It is a fact that a proportion of the population has a very deep need to minimise cooperation and maximise competitiveness. Something like three per cent of us are born sociopaths. Evolution has engineered some wickedness into our genome because it enhances survival of our species despite the expense to many individuals. Suffering is sadly a natural phenomenon. A pluralistic society is the most natural way to embrace the breadth of humanity. So that brings us back to politics and our current over-emphasis on the competitive paradigm.

Echo’s bias towards proponents of the ‘localisation’ concept, which might I add has been opportunistically appropriated by many businesses, needs challenging, and critiquing – Echo April 5 interview with Helena Norberg-Hodge. Naively, so many see this analysis of ‘globalisation’ (read big business, corporations) as the main driver and culprit for most of the social, economic and environmental crises confronting humankind. While this may be true in a sense, the way it is portrayed by Ms Norberg-Hodge is very vague, short sighted and abstract. For starters, throughout the Sapoty Brook interview, reference is made to Mullumbimby the ‘economic system’ without

really calling it as it is – capitalism. Today’s political and economic commentators usually refer to it as the ‘market’, so as to obscure the historical lineage of capitalism’s sordid and exploitative past. The interview continues with Ms Norberg-Hodge stating ‘the movement’ will change the economic system. Then proceeds to proclaim the ‘middle classes’ will be the agents of change towards environmental and economic sustainability, when many of these are the main beneficiaries of the economic system, many aspiring to greater conspicuous, narcissistic consumerism. For Ms Norberg-Hodge, having the

‘time’ and ‘money’ as one of these privileged persons has allowed her to indulge in these lofty utopian pursuits without seriously investigating the fundamental causes and solutions in a political sense of these crises – inequality, social injustice, poverty, exploitation, un(under)employment, homelessness, environmental degradation. If going back to the past, feudal Ladakh, which she so fondly refers to as her solution, is ‘liberating’, then it further displays her ignorance of the social relations rift that existed under this backward-looking social system.

sportsfield they could kick a ball on, whenever they felt like it, a home ground to cater to the urgent needs of 17 sporting groups based in the north of the Shire, and a integrated sportsfield they could walk to, cycle to, and not have to pile their kids into multiple cars that need expensive fuel, and costly fares on buses to have them brought to the Regional Sportsfields at the other end of the Shire! Then we had even more injustice when our Green Mayor, Jan Barham, wasted thousands of dollars of ratepayers’ money investigating 15 supposed alternative sportsfield sites in the north of the Shire over a seven-year period (some of those, even the owners didn’t know were being investigated) to come up with zip, zero, nothing for this large community which has a large number of kids who simply wanted a playing field, a community space to call their own, in their own town. It would have been a very easy request to fill, if the Green councillors truly had the will to help the Greater Ocean Shores community, but alas we’re still stuck with rhetoric like Cr Richardson’s ‘advocating sportsfields in the north’.

Ten good reasons to go to the local farmers markets when it’s raining: 1. Your favourite food might still be there if you sleep in and turn up late. 2. Magical moments happen when sheltering under stalls. 3. People seem more friendly. 4. It’s fun to walk barefoot in muddy puddles. 5.The music is always excellent. 6. You get the pick of the produce. 7. You can park closer than normal. 8. It’s fun to put on your funky old gum boots. 9. Shopping in the rain sure beats shopping in sterile, fluorescent lit, heartless aisles for highly processed, overly-packaged, imported food. 10. Last but not least you support the farmers who come rain, hail or shine. I overheard one stallholder at Mullumbimby saying if they didn’t come when they thought it might rain, they’d never get here. A special thank you to all our dedicated, hard working, friendly farmers. I think the farmers markets are fantastic. However, I reckon they could be even better if they made them plastic bag free. It doesn’t take much to train people to bring their own bags. Magenta Appel-Pye

As I peruse the local media it appears to me that the only people who talk about the ‘green’ council are those who are psychologically opposed, for whatever reason, to the Greens Party. To call this Council green is an exaggeration and a denigration. They set impossibly high demands on a financially constrained entity and express schadenfreude at each failure. From what I read this council is as well balanced as any and in a democracy the finer the balance the more difficult it is to achieve real change.

The push to local power (Echo, April 5) may be optimistic in this region. If I were pushing for local power I would not start with Byron Shire or anywhere else up here. The region is not considered suitable for wind farms (thank goodness) and given our high rainfall and accompanying cloud cover it’s not ideal for solar power either.

Byron Council hits money pothole Wondering why roads and other infrastructure are not being maintained to a higher standard? Chair of Council’s newly formed Finance Committee, Independent Councillor Basil Cameron, looks at the financial challenges facing Councillors. ouncillors have recently had to confront the financial reality that Council’s expenditure is unsustainable. This is indicated from the headline figures contained in the draft 2011/2012 budget that projects a deficit of $26,000 and a reduction in working funds of $750,000. As a one-off in the ebb and flow of financial demands from year to year, this result would not necessarily indicate a major problem. However the situation looks likely to persist as the result masks some longer term problems. Chief among these is the $7 million needed to maintain roads, drains and community facilities to a minimum standard that is not currently being funded. Each year the total for unfunded infrastructure maintenance is growing and each year our infrastructure shows more signs of insufficient attention, as residents already know. The problem has been known about for some time, but councillors have been slow to appreciate the need to address the longer term issues. In the interim, further unsustainable spending has continued to make the problem worse. Most notably the decision to proceed with the Byron Regional Sports and Cultural Centre (BRSCC) at Ewingsdale on a scale that was unnecessary and without having first developed a sound business plan as to how the facility was to be maintained into the future. Federal funding has been substantial at $9.5 million and we could have achieved a lot for the money without additional spending of $7.4 million funded in part by a loan. While over $550,000 worth of road funding removed from last year’s budget has been added to the infrastructure backlog without any funding in this year’s budget, additional expenditure of $200,000 for

maintenance of the sports centre has been included. This figure is likely to at least double in future years as the centre becomes operational. Without action, this will continue to come at the cost of essential infrastructure funding. ome short-term relief may come in the form of state government approval of Council’s application for an additional rate rise of 2.45 per cent above rate pegging; however, this would only be sufficient to restore working funds over several years without rectifying the infrastructure funding gap. It should not be seen as a long-term solution. There are also worrying signs of a kneejerk reaction from some councillors on both ends of the political spectrum. Having realised the need to act, they may seek to cut services they do not support so as to restore working funds, but without adjusting spending to ensure that infrastructure maintenance is better funded. Beware of the seductive trap that’s behind rallying calls of ‘roads, rates and rubbish’. An alternative approach might be to trim expenditure generally

S

and minimise the impact on the community by continuing the most important services on a lower cost or cost neutral basis while addressing the longer term underlying causes. ne of the most significant contributors to the problem is the high numbers of visitors to the Shire and their impact on existing infrastructure. This is estimated to be 28 per cent of total costs of wear and tear each year and remains unfunded due to the lack of a mechanism for visitors to make a contribution. Council’s Tourism Management Plan provides a way forward and community consultation will begin shortly on how to implement a tourism levy. It is hoped that councillors will recognise the value of this much needed reform, which if able to be implemented, would provide a sound basis for improved financial health, services and infrastructure. A concerted effort needs to be made to develop a sustainable business plan for the BRSCC. Currently the centre is ‘cultural’ in name only as virtually no attention has been paid to design and equipment

so that the centre can function as a performing arts space. Yet it is this aspect that could provide the greatest potential to generate revenues to offset the cost of keeping the doors open. Greater effort could also be made to ensure that all Financial Assistance Grants provided for local roads are actually spent on local roads. There is also a danger that if overall funding for roads were to drop too low, Roads To Recovery funding of several million dollars a year that is currently used to fund cycleway and road development could be withdrawn. It is also hoped that the new Minister for Local Government, Don Page, will assist Council to introduce a tourism levy as well as tackle the perennial issues of cost shifting and unnecessary red tape that add much to the cost of local government. Councillors are not as powerless as they are sometimes portrayed. It is we who decide future expenditure. With greater focus on the long-term challenges, we are capable of making improvements that will benefit the whole community.

Burning local bagasse in power plants seemed promising, but the recent receivership of both Broadwater and Condong has put a cloud over the stand-alone financial viability of these plants and may restrict more being built. That’s a pity because they not only produce reliable electricity but reduce the smoke and small particulates we inhale when the farm-

ers burn the cane in the fields. Hydro-electricity might be an option but it seems very unlikely that the Greens would support building dams across the Tweed, Richmond or Clarence rivers. Nor would they be keen on the run-of-river hydro systems as used by Mullumbimby before the days of the grid back in the 1920s. We don’t have the right geological formations in this region for geothermal power so that option isn’t available either. No doubt one day someone will build a wave power system off the bay with government largesse, assuming the environmentalists allow it of course. The investors may eventually discover that it’s no more financially viable than bagasse or solar. Our increasing demand for electricity over the next decade won’t go away however efficient we become. Electric vehicles alone will see to that. So that leaves us with no option but to take more power from the north or south over that new high-voltage transmission line to Lismore. Unless, of course, we built a small nuclear plant in Byron. It’s not a magnitude eight earthquake zone, is it? Martin Nicholson

Dear Echo, just like to let you know that the letters last week

objecting to your caricature joke against ‘Osho and Sannyas’, are not ‘representative’ voices of sannyas as a whole. In fact any ‘representative’ voice should be near impossible in sannyas, as Osho was so strongly pro-individualism and ferociously anti ‘group think’. This however will not stop some ‘individuals’, as in any group (including I’m sure at The Echo too) trying to assert their ‘group think’ suppressive dictates upon others. And unfortunately with some individuals this can give rise to a violence that attempts to enrol others in their ‘perceived community’ to hate something or someone that they are personally and reactively offended by. (Perhaps David Lovejoy might himself wish to look into this point also.) In this case the originator of these letters even attempted to promote a not-to0-subtle boycott against The Echo. Sad stuff! If I could apologise on behalf of Osho and Sannyasins I would but, as I’ve stated, that’s impossible. They are but individuals, no more than that. And for the record, most of the (individual) voices I’ve heard in sannyas are a little embarrassed by these public letters and strongly of the opinion that Osho would only enjoy a good laugh about it all My ‘individual’ belief is that your attack on Osho is a compliment to him. Explaining that will exceed the word limits here, but a good pointer may be found by viewing author Tom Robbins’s movie about Osho called OSHO: Tom Robbins about Indian mystic Osho. A five minute YouTube clip covers it pretty well. Love to you, Echo, and readers. May your freedoms not be suppressed. May you not suppress other’s freedoms, too. David Prayan O’Connor

Every day, twice a day, I walk my dog around the park and the lake in Baywood Chase near where I live. Every day, and with increasing regularity, I am forced to dodge the landmines left behind by irresponsible, lazy and precious dog owners who refuse to pick up their dogs’ crap. The place is starting to look like an out-of-control dog kennel and it’s all because of the owners, not the dogs. Sure, there are a lot of very responsible dog owners who utilise this beautiful little pocket that we are lucky enough to call home, but, unfortunately, there are an equal amount of lazy people who don’t give a hoot. There they go, jogging along, earphones on, dog in tow, dog stops, craps and continues on and the owner is blissfully unaware of the landmine left behind for someone

else to worry about. Or else it’s the ‘I dont give a f‌’ attitude. I’ve seen it time and time again, people and sometimes families walking with their pets and letting them go without bothering to pick it up. There are bins provided and doggie bags as well. How bloody hard is it? Pick up your dogs’ crap, people. Where is the ranger? Never see him. Perhaps a few fines handed out might do the trick. Nothing else seems to work. John Whitehall

No fracking way I’m writing to inform of a very shocking situation happening in our beautiful Australia. It is coal seam gas mining and it is becoming a growing industry. There are reports of groundwater, air and surface contamination due to the drilling in Queensland. The people that thought they own their land have no rights. The gas companies can claim land and mineral rights without consulting communities and getting consent from the people. This is outright injustice. This is environmental terrorism. This is about protecting our future of our land, our water. There is a blockade that has formed at one of these sites in Tara, Queensland. Drew Hutton (Friends of the Earth), a longtime veteran activist and environmental crusader, is involved in the blockade and has said that this mining problem ‘is the biggest environmental campaign in Australian history’. This is a crisis. People are getting sick. Several major energy companies hold exploration permits over large tracts of prime agricultural and residential land in Northern NSW. Arrow Energy (a subsidiary of Apollo Gas) has five known drilling sites surrounding Casino, Lismore and Kyogle to test for availability of CSG. In Queensland there is concern of it contaminating the Great Artesian basin that lies under 22 per cent of Australia and is the only relaible source of water in arid/semi-arid areas. What can we do about it? Join the blockade that needs more people, write a letter, sign a petition. Please do what you can. There is more information on the following sites, which includes facts, and even a letter of objection which can be downloaded and changed to suit yourself to send to the government. There is a moving documentary from the US called Gaslands which unveils the truth of this industry.

Every year for the last decade Byron has rated as one of the highest per capita in incidences of reported drink-driving offences in NSW. Inspector Bill Darnell of Tweed Command remarked that what was most surprising was that in an area of high levels of tourism that ‘63 per cent of offenders were local. We have previously had the perception that because we had a high rate of tourism that we weren’t educating visitors.’ But perhaps it’s our local community that are lacking sufficient alcohol education.

TOUR THE CAPE BYRON LIGHTHOUSE Visitors to one of Australia’s most famous destinations can explore the maritime history of Byron Bay during the autumn school holidays, as the Cape Byron Trust is running the popular heritage tours of the Cape Byron Lighthouse. ‘The Lighthouse Tours allow visitors to explore and appreciate the maritime heritage of Byron Bay,’ said Cape Byron Trust Chair Yvonne Stewart. ‘Join a tour and take a step back in time to discover what the daily duties of the Lighthouse Keepers and their families at the Cape would have been like.’ ‘Enjoy climbing the tower, stopping at each of the three levels before stepping out onto the top balcony to get a bird’s eye view into the Marine Park below and surrounding hinterland,’ said Yvonne Stewart. Today the Lighthouse, an important north coast icon, is managed jointly by a community trust with the NPWS and the Bundjalung of Byron Bay Arakwal Aboriginal People. Guided tours of the Cape Byron Lighthouse are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays (all year), and Saturday (NSW school holidays). Guided tours take approximately 40 minutes and cost $8 for adults, $6 for children and concession, and $25 for

E N T E R T A I N M E N T Also I’m very good at improvising, so that makes every show a little different, and it’s more fun for me and the audience. Plus my material is banging! Is there much of a disconnect between the Gina we see on stage and the Gina who’s lining up for a plate of raw food? Not much – on stage is a more heightened version of myself, but I’m a pretty happy person offstage, not one of those manic depressive comics. Is it hard for a woman with such a high profile as a comedian to have relationships? Do partners need to be especially tuned in to the fact they may become material one day? It’s not too hard regarding material – everyone in my life knows that they are probably going to end up in my act, so they have to have a sense of humour‌and if not‌ tough shit! But I’m not horrible about people, so they don’t mind‌yet.

Do ex-partners become material? Not really. I try to make my material a bit broader, and do stuff which hopefully no-one else is doing.

CULTURE ......... p26

A criticism of women comics is that we all talk about sex, ex-boyfriends, hating men and our cycles‌which in my opinion is rubbish‌most male comics talk about their genitalia, sex, sex, sex, drinking, drugs, women and sex – nobody moans about that.

GIG GUIDE ...... p30

How much of your life experience makes it to the routine? How do you draw a line? Most of my life experience, if I can make it funny, and it doesn’t piss off my family too much (as they have normal jobs, so have to face in the workplace the stuff I flippantly reveal into the public domain) goes into my act. I don’t draw too many lines – hence my having an extended routine on my colonic irrigations.

STARS................ p27 GOOD TASTE ... p35

I’ve always thought of good comedians as being anarchic philosophers of sorts. Have you always had a lot to say? I’ve always had a lot to say, but I don’t see myself as a philosopher – just your mouthy next door neighbour. What’s a typical day in the life of Gina Y? If I’m home in LA: get up, make a smoothie, spend 12 hours on Facebook, watch TV, maybe go to lunch somewhere, go do a show, go to bed. If I’m on the road: get up, BUY a smoothie, spend 12 hours on Facebook, watch TV, go to lunch somewhere, do a show, go to bed. Pretty boring really.

Strictly one entry per person, to gigs@echo.net. au with subject header ‘blue tuesday’. GIVING FILMS THE FLICK Flickerfest celebrates 20 years in 2011 and to commemorate they’ve put out a DVD showcase.

You can ďŹ nd it at DVD shops; you can purchase online at www. ickerfest.com.au; or you can email gigs@echo.net. au with subject header ‘20 great icks’ and you could win one!

Have you clear goals around your career as a comedian? What are they? To make lots of money doing as little as possible. I’d love an Ellen-type talk show, and then sell out arenas in my spare time. That’s it. No movie stardom and people going through my trash‌none of that palava. Enough money and fame to get me into the best restaurants, but not so much that people have online surveys about what I eat, and whether it’s given me cellulite. How do you handle disappointment? I rant, get pissed off, then I go ‘fuck it’ and move on.

LONDON-BORN TO NIGERIAN PARENTS, GINA YASHERE STARTED OUT HER ADULT CAREER AS AN ELEVATOR ENGINEER. WHEN SHE FOUND HERSELF STEPPING INTO THE SPOTLIGHT AS A STANDUP COMEDIAN, LIKE WITH HER PREVIOUS ROLE, THE ONLY WAY FOR MS YASHERE WAS UP. SHE’S A FUNNY GIRL WITH A LUCKY STREAK A MILE LONG. Gina, what are your life’s greatest passions? Food, food, food, travelling, doing nothing. What do you think are your major strengths as a comedian and/or as a person? My likeability – you can get away with a lot more on stage if the audience actually likes you.

Why do you think you ended up as a comedian? Does it still surprise you? I always knew I was funny, but didn’t realise you could make a career out of it, so I was an engineer for a few years. When I started, my whole psyche was like ‘ahhhhh’. This was what I was made for, so no, I’m not surprised the universe works the way it’s supposed to. What keeps you going? I love what I do, and I think I’m the best, and won’t stop till everyone knows. Five people for a dinner party‌who are they? Everyone else would say Nelson Mandela, Obama, Stephen Hawking, Dalai Lama etc. But fuck that! I’m not that clever and wouldn’t understand a word of the conversation. Anyone who is dumber than me and who I can spend the evening making fun of. Any reality TV contestants‌and Charlie Sheen. Five people you’d audition to give you a foot massage‌who are they? I’m not getting my feet out for ANYONE – my toes look like the dinosaur’s from Jurassic Park.

my answers. But there are many that he hears about afterwards. If there are questions specific to his history that I don’t know then I have to try to get answers from him, but normally things like questions about day-to-day things in his life or his history he won’t answer. He doesn’t know why people want to know these, and why they’re asked time and time again. I am happy to answer the repetitive questions for him but on everything else I refer to him still a lot. He told me that he is very happy with the Rolling Stone article. That took days for us to put together and I got a few answers from him. His reaction to RS helps me answer other things that come up. He affirms his confidence in me often.

PRODUCER, COLLABORATOR AND CLOSE FRIEND MICHAEL HOHNEN SPOKE WITH SEVEN ABOUT THE ENIGMA THAT IS GEOFFREY GURRUMUL YUNUPINGU.

Singing us home Why does Gurrumul do so few interviews? He doesn’t want to commit his thoughts to the public when he has no idea how they will be received. He doesn’t want to talk about things because he is blind and doesn’t know and can’t see face to face how his answers will be interpreted. He is someone who defers things in his life to different people, including his uncle, his brothers, myself, his manager and his family, both in a traditional and in a Western sense. I am so aware of Gurrumul’s voice in his music – his quietness on the public stage seems to have made his presence even louder. Do you think this is part of the mystique that makes him a bit of a musical enigma? This is a difficult one. He has a mystique, there is no doubt, even when you meet him and it is nothing to do with music. He carries himself in a unique way. He is very aware of his surroundings, and he subtly lets you know this. His musical enigma comes from his personality. His music was described by Nicholas Rothwell once as almost ‘anti-music’. This has to be enigmatic, doesn’t it?

Very few artists would be allowed the freedom that Gurrumul has, to record when he feels its the right time, to speak rarely to interviewers. How did you develop that sensitivity to his creative process? I try to look at any situation with an open mind. I know what he likes and what he is capable of doing. Going with what suits him, not us. I also believe in relationships where if you go more than halfway, then you may get more from someone.

Neither of us wants to go off touring for ten months of the year, and so we start looking at how to do enough to fulfill some kind of media and promotional and concert commitments without doing too much. He is the antithesis of what most artists are in lots of ways – wanting to ‘make it’ push and present their art or music and to get a reaction from them. With Gurrumul it is more about Mark and me at Skinnyfish having set up a label to be able to work with artists as an artist support label, and present what is special in the relationships with have with Aboriginal people. In Gurrumul’s case it just took off. You speak about the ‘right time’. It is amazing to me how often things don’t happen when I feel that they should, mainly because of a decision he has made – or not made, and then something else happens and it is then a more ideal time, and things fall into place for him and us.

It is funny. I listened to the album last night – the new one we’re about to release – and it sounds so unlike anything that is likely to be in the charts, or chart at all in a mainstream sense, yet there is so much Musicians love talking about themselves and their art – it’s like he’s interest in it that it may well enter the charts and the whole industry devoid of the usual rock star ego? He has an ego. It is more of a pride in a bigger way than the first album did. When I look at this from an and a growing confidence than anything else. After so many accolades, objective outsider’s perspective it still surprises me. and compliments from all walks of life ever since he was a little boy, he is very aware of what people think of his talent, yet when I am with him What do you think it is about Gurrumul that resonates so deeply with his listening public? Is it the quiet but deeply spiritual stories and I witness someone speaking to him and giving him feedback on of our country? Longing. Not just his but everybody’s. Everybody in the effect his music has had, then it is like he is hearing it for the first some way longs to be back to the basics, back to more of a simpler time, and he will often gleam, and proudly recount the event at a later spiritual life, to have the connection with the land, with family, with time. ancestors. No-one really has it. Here along comes Gurrumul saying I Does he know what you say on his behalf, meaning do you have have it. And I feel it. He has a voice that is touching, nostalgia-inducing to check, or is your relationship built on a trust where your voice and we then have tried to produce it in a beautiful way, with honesty becomes his? He has been at lots of interviews that I have done. He and not compressed or bright. That’s my quick guess anyway. listens to a lot I do on the phone. When we are together I read him

Mandy Nolan

WHAT'S 'ER NAME? I am at a distinct social disadvantage. It’s a small town and I have a relatively high profile. I am the human equivalent of the Big Prawn. I have become Izzy Dye. People even say to my kids on the school bus ‘wow you’re Mandy Nolan’s kids. You must be rich’. Yep, that’s why we live in a rented property in the middle of Mullumbimby with a chicken wire fence.

lot of people’. The inference was that she didn’t. Clearly I was terribly important, way too important to remember her dreary name. I felt dreadful. So dreadful all I could think about was how bad I felt for not remembering her name, and then I forgot it again and had to ask her a second time. By the end of our brief encounter the poor woman needed a self-esteem transplant.

Visibility should never be confused with celebrity. I’m not famous. I’m just obvious. I’m used to it. I grew up in a Queensland country town where I was the only girl in the whole village with a neck. I’m 6 foot tall, so it’s always been hard to ‘blend in’ with the natives.

We all use the affectionate coverups as compensation for a missing moniker. ‘Darl’, ‘Mate’, ‘Sweetheart’, ‘Love’. But they’re annoying. People hate these shallow attempts at affection from semi-strangers who don’t know who they are. I am a serial offender. I’ll see someone, and I’ll know that I am supposed to know who they are, then I have a panic attack, consider crossing the road, all the while scanning my brain for any information that might jog a flashback. ‘Sally, Sarah, Siana, no no, it’s kind of hippy, Sesame, Serendipity, like silence. Serenity. It’s Serenity.’

But that’s not my problem. What challenges me most is that everyone knows my name. Small children, grandmothers, school kids, mums, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, all seem to know ‘Mandy Nolan’. The problem is, I don’t always know them. Even after I’ve met them a few times. Or taught them. Or performed at their function. Or given birth to their child. And when you live in a small community it’s embarrassing when you stumble on someone’s name when they confidently say yours. There are people I have known for years, and I don’t have a clue who they are. Last week I had a friend pop over for a cup of tea and I couldn’t for the life of me remember her name. Then another friend came by. Of course they didn’t know each other and so I was forced to make a very painful introduction. In the past I went for the offhand ‘why don’t we abandon formalities and you two introduce yourselves?’ But that’s just like signposting my rudeness. You see, people are hurt if you don’t know their names. They feel insignificant and unimportant. If you don’t remember someone’s name it means that they are forgettable. It means they weren’t important enough to commit to memory. When I didn’t remember someone’s name I once admitted it to the person and she looked at me sadly ‘that’s okay, I am sure you meet a

I’m so relieved I use their name five times in the same sentence. Then they stop and look at me with disdain. ‘Oh, that’s what I used to be called. I’ve changed my name’. You are fricking kidding. It’s hard enough remembering the first name, then people go and change it. I used to know a girl called Deb. We worked together schlepping burgers at Ringos. Then she changed her name. Every time I called her Deb she scowled at me. She’d changed her name. She had told me around 10 times but I couldn’t remember, it was too weird. The only way I could remember was that it rhymes with that dry biscuit my Nanna used to eat with sliced tomato: Ryvita. I’m all for name tags. I love them. I’d wear one every day. In fact I’m pushing for the council to make it compulsory for all residents to wear one. Sort of like parking permits. And if you don’t have yours on the Ranger will chalk your leg and hit you with a fine. So when I see you next and I look longingly into your eyes for a clue, please, please, tell me your name. (That also goes for my kids.)

<echowebsection=Entertainment>

How does a man like Gurrumul tour without feeling disconnected and alienated from his place? He strikes me as a man for whom country and family are part of his soul. How do you marry this with a life on the road? He is a man in two worlds so the touring is okay; if it is not too long he is fine with it. in some ways he loves touring. He loves the industry. He just doesn’t want it to consume him. And he won’t let it. He won’t let anything control his life, as he has what I would say is a safety valve or a protection mechanism that kicks in when he is not comfortable with something. Nearly always his intuition is right. But he treats being on the road as part of his life as a musician, and he sees that this is his calling. What is Geoffrey Gurrumul’s plan for his musical career – is it intuitive, is it strategic…? There is no definitive plan. He listens to proposals and decides on them one at at time. We can’t plan much given this is how things work. It has to be calm with no high-pressure expectations, but he has agreed to some things later this year, which is unusual. He is busting to do some touring soon, actually, and if you could plan a big tour a few days in advance then we would be doing a lot more because he is often ready to go when we have no hope of organising something quickly enough. What inspires Gurrumul in the songwriting process? His old songs from his upbringing, his favourite artists’ songs. His family. And the enormous song tradition of his own culture. There are probably 1000 more songs there waiting to be presented! What amazes you most about Gurrumul’s ability to create music, and his process? Nothing amazes me about that but I love how in tune he is with his musical talent and skill, and when he is in the right environment how he can tap into this like the best musicians in the world can. When producing Gurrumul’s first album, did you have any idea that he would become such a high-profile musician? In a small way I had that feeling that day I had finished it. But not in a big way because I always thought a language album just would not permeate the mainstream. Just think – Aboriginal. Not English. No hope – on paper – in Australia. Does this new album have the same qualities of the first? Some of the same qualities of the first, but this is just more Gurrumul, and less me. He plays beautiful grand piano, drums and more backing vocals. More multi-instrumental, more varied and more of a deep, tough body of work. We thought about a whole heap of different ways of presenting the second album, but ended up choosing to just be acoustic, and not hyped. What should we expect for Gurrumul’s Bluesfest show? He will have his same trio of acoustic guitars and double bass, but then he may well be joined by some other special musicians as guests. I can’t say more than that. I have asked for a piano on stage. One of the rarer moments will be his performances on the Sun and Moon with the Saltwater Band. Although he is considered a key member of the band he rarely performs with them these days. Byron Bay will probably be the only time he jumps on stage with them this year – it’s a great chance for fans to watch Gurrumul in his upbeat mode. Gurrumul and Saltwater Band at Bluesfest this year.

K L IBRA: Achieving serene brain space could be a challenge

patient, but this week rewards good behaviour so tune into its tender, affectionate, giving and forgiving Venus vibes to restore accord where there’s been friction, to show and tell others how much you value them. F TAURUS:Things that formerly seemed important could lose their imperative this week as new perspectives and realizations emerge. If you’re noticing a credibility gap between your actual life and your splendid unused potential, then listen to your business instincts, put on your practical hat and get cracking. G G EMINI: You’re the sign of Twins and this week it pays to think in twos. Firstly as in seeing the other person’s needs and viewpoint. And secondly when verbalising complaints to remember that criticism’s always more acceptable when delivered sandwiched between a couple of compliments. H CANCER: Fortunately this week’s tempestuous types respond positively to the appreciative sweet talk you do so well, so be guided by the Cancerian Dalai Lama’s ever sensible advice: Work very hard to make the world a better place. But if all your efforts fail, no hard feelings! I L EO: Will this exuberant, let’s do it week get Your Majesty buzzing? Like anything. But resist being hasty or outspoken because the atmosphere’s combustible and a careless comment could shatter goodwill. Blend outrageous with opportunistic and you’ll blitz the competition by attracting glamorous support and backing. J VIRGO: Feelings run hot and high this week, especially during Thursday/Friday’s Virgo moon, so don’t make yourself the meat in the sandwich of other people’s problems. Accept that even loved ones or supporters may not share your views, and downplay misunderstandings or differences of opinion.

this week. Pressure won’t solve problems so stick with your trademark calm and charm, steer clear of the gossip mill and since accident ratings are quite high right now, do take care and don’t take risks. L SCORPIO: This undeniably vibrant week is also abrasive, opinionated, petulant and self-centred. Scorpios are born smart, so stay cool and don’t argue with overheated people. Your powers of non-verbal persuasion are always impressive, so you won’t need to say much to make your point. M SAGITTARIUS: You’re the zodiac sign of the explorer, and this week it’s more informative and effective to explore your emotions rather than alienate others with sharp words at this year’s critical juncture in your personal life. Present relationship hot spots require creative patience and artful negotiation. N CAPRICORN: This week’s cosmic cattle prod activates your longstanding issue of rehashing the past. Basic common sense dictates learning lessons then letting them go so resentments don’t keep resurfacing. Toxic nostalgia’s a condition of defending an outdated version of yourself – and you’re so much better than that. O AQUARIUS: This week restrictions to your freedom of choice or movement could be particularly irritating. But the good news is that refusing to see people as enemies opens the door for them to become allies, making a whole new can of options and possibilities available. P P ISCES: This week speaks its mind, though you mightn’t altogether like what it says. Attending to everyday duties, responsibilities, courtesies and routines is even more important than usual during this transit, which tests your ability to be clear and articulate in communicating what you want.

CHESS by Ian Rogers

Since his retirement from professional chess in 2005, former World Champion Garry Kasparov (above) has been a prominent spokesman criticising the government of Vladimir Putin. Kasparov and the organisation he advances, The Other Russia, have been a thorn in the side of the Russian government – albeit a minor one – with demonstrations broken up violently and Kasparov refused permission to stand in the 2008 presidential elections. However, Kasparov has always found a willing outlet for his political opinions in the USA, with the Wall Street Journal in particular

However, digging a little deeper would have revealed that Revere America is a political body with one main aim: to undermine and eventually repeal last year’s US health system changes. Kasparov has long sought to remain non-party political in the US, talking with politicians of all flavours, but fund-raising for a body linked to the controversial Tea Party is likely to raise eyebrows in the US, let alone be exploited ruthlessly back in Moscow. The problem for Kasparov is that he is not really a politician; he does and says exactly what he believes, caring little about image. As a chessplayer this worked well – he was the living personification of Emmanuel Lasker’s maxim that ‘On the chessboard lies and hypocrisy do not survive long… the merciless fact, culminating in a checkmate, contradicts the hypocrite.’ In political life, Kasparov’s directness earned him great respect during the communist era in the USSR, but it seems to be failing dismally to make any impact in modern Russia.

RAW UNDERPINNINGS OF LIBERATION From RUSTED, Station Street Studios, Mullum www.rustedstudio.com Nomadic artist Kelleh Thompson fuses symbolic sociopolitical gestures with layered primal markings to create vividly textured artworks.

Since 2001 Kelleh has been driven by the exploration of self and identity. With a background in graphic design, Kelleh moved into photography-based digital and mixed-media art forms, with self portraiture as the focal point for inquiry. After her solo show, Advancing Magnolia (2003), a more impassioned sociopolitical agenda emerged and she set off for Berlin. There the streets of Kreuzberg, reecting the transience and impermanence of life, set light to a new medium: stencil art. For the next few years Kelleh wandered the streets questioning our current societal structures. The transition from street to gallery took place in the ‘Lock Up’ (2007), where for 13 days in a local gallery she painted the walls, oors and canvas. Mourning Light (2008), an exhibition in Surry Hills, was an extension of her gallery experience.

Within the exploration of self and identity over the past 10 years, the aspect that continues to intrigue Kelleh most is the examination of the conditioned mind. ‘What turns me on is the raw grit and underground of the psyche, the way my paintings speak to me, the essence of not immediately understanding that I am painting, and then slowly the painting revealing my sub/unconscious stories and expressions.’ This personal quest for self understanding has led Kelleh to the doorstep of an arts therapy diploma, as the connection of human touch and community within art form is Kelleh’s current vehicle, now driving her to Melbourne and Alice Springs. Kelleh is presenting her latest work in the forthcoming joint EXHIBITION on 6 May at the Double Bassment in Byron www. doublebassment.com.

Barebones Art Space Barebones Art Space opened in the main street of Bangalow in 1994, with a small stable of local artists. Since then we have enjoyed many exhibitions and group shows. The group shows were fun. The openings were attended by all and sundry as they provided entertainment in a small town that, except for the local pub, almost shut down after business hours.

Wheel Of Life Gallery Lucy Vanstone opens her solo exhibition Tree on Friday 15th April 6pm–9pm at Wheel of Life, 21 Fingal Street, Brunswick Heads (behind St Thomas Church). On exhibition will be sculptural and wall pieces featuring porcelain, recycled timber, driftwood and weathered steel.

Conchita Carambano Mixed Media The Boat & the Wind BAREBONES ART SPACE

Lucy’s new range of vases, bowls and cups will feature too. If you can’t make it on the opening night the exhibition will be open 10–4pm daily from Saturday 16th – Saturday 23rd.

Times have changed. We still enjoy a stable of local artists and have extended our range to included fine original prints. We have built up a trustworthy relationship over the years with a print dealer who supplies us with a varied range of work by well known and emerging Australian artists.

All welcome. View online www.lucyvanstone.com.

Featured is an etching by Adrian Lockhart. Other artists in our print collection include David Larwill, John Olsen, David Boyd, Garry Shead, Frank Hodgkinson, Rona Green, Christina Cordero, Anne Smith and others.

Sucker Punch Tues 12 & Wed 13 April The Cat Returns G

The infuriating thing about this nasty and pretentious movie is that it so seriously claims to be something that it’s not – after, with a snigger, pretending at first to be tongue in cheek. A bunch of mistreated young women trapped in a bordello (where nobody is seen to turn tricks), fighting to free themselves from patriarchal tyranny sounds reasonable, but really, all we have here is a cohort of heavily made-up gals in tight bodices (when creamily exposed between tiny pleated skirts and long black

stockings, lissome thighs look so much more… well… lissome, don’t you think?), doing exactly the same stuff as boys do with guns and swords. Is there any genre more dead boring that the graphic-novel blastathon? With psycho-babble about identity and free will thrown into the mix, as well as an old man in a Chinese temple who explains to our heroine what her tasks are (‘Grasshopper…’), I wondered if the barista across the road had put some sinister narcotic in my macchiato. Then I did a head count of the audience. In the session I attended there were nineteen males, mostly in their teens or early twenties, and one female (who was accompanying a bloke). The penny dropped – it’s a flick for gamers who love lots of loud violence with a perv thrown in as icing on the cake. The atmospherics and stylised cinematography (manic and near monochromatic) are de rigueur in their coldness, while the battle sequences are tedious beyond endurance. I thought I heard Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit under the brain-splitting cacophony of the zeppelin being blown to smithereens – or was it when they were slaying the dragon in the ruins of the Gothic cathedral? – and the electric grunge version of the Beatles’ Tomorrow Never Knows was passable. Concluding, however, with a sermon that is embarrassing even by the lowest infantile standards, this is a film of shameless exploitation and mesmerising crassness. Otherwise, the lissome thighs were just fine. ~ John Campbell

BALLINA FAIR CINEMAS

Rio They’re coming thick and fast now, aren’t they, the 3D animations. An unforeseen problem has emerged, however, with the glasses themselves. It appears that a large percentage of the really little kids simply do not have the forbearance to keep the things on for 90–100 minutes, hence the release of movies such as this in both 3D and the old ‘flat screen’ format. Certainly, the superior Rango lost nothing in comparison with its high-tech competitors because it was in 2D, so perhaps the gushing proclamation that ‘3D is the future of cinema’ is worth a second thought. But, of the new wave, if we are happy to set Toy Story 3 (and, for mine, How To Train Your Dragon) as the benchmark, then Rio, for all its unimpeachable morality and rom-com sweetness, doesn’t quite get up there. Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg from The Social Network), the last male parrot of his kind, is happily domesticated in Minnesota. Transported to his native Brazil to mate with Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and thus save the species from extinction, he and his new partner are abducted by bird smugglers. There is a repetitiveness about their attempts to escape that wears thin and Blu’s inability to fly will, you know, be overcome in the climax – which, it must be said, is a beauty. The casting of Eisenberg in the lead role is a clanger, for, as a fast-talking, nerdy New Yorker, he convinces

as neither Mid-West yokel or Latino parrot. The visuals are par for the course – the boy smuggler’s return to his rooftop home in a predictably sanitised barrio, and a streetcar ride over the hills of the city are breathtaking – but the soundtrack is lacklustre and, disappointingly, the

perpetrators of what is in real life a filthy crime are too lightly dealt with. Fitting snugly into what AO Scott has called animation’s ‘golden age of mediocrity’, Rio is lavish and frenetic (the mardi gras sequence is fabulous), but twee and soon forgettable. ~ John Campbell

Television Guide 1. Bill Nighy is among the engaging cast of The Boat That Rocked (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm), a British comedy about a pirate radio ship in the 1960s. Some great music, including The Kinks. 2. Among all the blokey stuff about cars and geegees on 7Mate is The Universe (Saturday, 9.30pm), a cosmological foray far out beyond the reach of VB. 3. SBS2 piles on the angst with Phantom Pain (Sunday, 9.45pm), in which a cyclist loses a leg, followed by Hell at 11.30pm, a French film which could be about anything from Lucifer’s domain to domestic life. Bring a handkerchief.

Cooking with Granny Smiths Victoria Cosford

And in autumn apples are particularly wonderful, especially that old favourite, the Granny Smith. You may be able to buy these tart green fruit all year around but it is only in their proper season that they taste the sharp way God meant them. Your teeth collide with that hard white flesh, the acidity sending tiny shudders through your salivary glands, the flavour so cleanly green, or greenly clean. Better still is cooking with them, to which they lend themselves so well. Granny Smith apples originated in Australia in 1868, named after Maria Ann Smith who settled in Sydney’s Eastwood with her husband and children after emigrating from England as part of a government program recruiting people with agricultural skills sorely needed in the colony of New South Wales. Amongst other fruit they grew seedling apples and it is believed that Maria’s ‘discovery’ was related to the French crabapple. At any rate, it was she who discovered its versatility in cooking and eating and was involved in spreading its popularity. It became one of the original staple supermarket and international

A browse through my too-many cookbooks exposes a disappointing lack of apple cake recipes, just when I had my heart set on some weekend baking, just as I was imagining the warm spicy moist appley mouthfuls. Apple pie and apple crumble recipes abound, and of course I will happily make both throughout autumn and winter because they positively shout the presence of those seasons. The browse did yield two quick and luscious desserts I had forgotten about and will now share. Apple Galette requires an oven preheated to 200°C and a sheet of frozen puff pastry you can buy. Cut from it a 23 cm circle and place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Prick all over with a fork. Peel, core and thinly slice two large Granny Smiths and, starting in the centre, arrange the slices in overlapping circles on top of the pastry. Brush slices with melted butter and lavishly scatter over caster sugar then bake for about half an hour. The sugar will caramelise and the pastry become crisp and gold. Serve it hot with double cream. Or make Apple Cream by placing two peeled, cored and diced Granny Smiths in a baking dish then dot with 30 grams butter and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Place in a 180°C oven for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Beat one cup thickened cream with half a teaspoon vanilla essence, two tablespoons caster sugar, two eggs and one tablespoon brandy and pour over the apple – keep cooking until set, about 10 more minutes. Dust with cinnamon, rest five minutes, then serve straight from the dish.

varieties, being vastly suited to easy shipping around the world with its tough skin and excellent keeping qualities.

Autumn – which it suddenly and decisively is – starts me thinking about cakes. About making them and carving them up for visitors, about sharing a wedge with the man I love or guiltily sneaking a second slice on my own before putting it away (all in the name of tidying up a ragged edge of course). Especially about warm apple cakes, which is my chief memory of a fleeting amble around Amsterdam decades ago (not the windmills or the tulips). CafÊ after cafÊ offered warm apple cakes in their own special versions and it was a wonderfully restorative way of recovering from the hours of walking foreign countries demand.

One of the more unfortunate provisions we accidentally packed for our picnic was the Not Happy Jam, a preserve which seemed constituted chiefly of sour grapes. It had been issued in limited quantities by the Byron Bay Marmalade and Rent Gouging Society, whose aim other than the culinary seemed to be the application of crowbars and coconut oil in order to cram as many paying bodies as possible into the already bulging town. We left the elegantly comfortable comfort zone of the Myocum clubhouse and ventured out into the wilds for a picnic. Our convoy of black Bentleys took us up into the Mt Jerusalem National Park along the gravel road at the back of Main Arm Upper Upper In Extremis and onto the sleepy little hamlet of Uki, its hostelry marked chiefly by the line of high-powered motorcycles – elegant Ducatis rubbing shoulders with sociopathic Harleys – occupying most of the nearby kerb, and thence to the Border Ranges and the Bar Mountain Picnic Area. Chef had prepared Rack of Dingo with Attenuated Coulis of Feral Apricot, nestled alongside Highly Gingered Tree Frog in a bed of Anxious Spinach, followed by an amusing Aniseed Sorbet lightly dusted with Cocaine. We toasted the great outdoors and its fondness for more oxygen than is strictly necessary with an excellent 1987 Frank Sartor Planning Takeover Cabernet Merlot, its bouquet simply stuffed with grace notes – or is that banknotes? – of hubris, the afterpalate a lingering testament to speculative subdivision cleared block weed fragrances.

BYRON BAY CONTINUED

Among us was Cholmondley Nethergas, who was on secondment from the Moree Mad

The Deck

Toffs Club. He had been wearing a fragile look all morning, like a kitten with its paw stuck in a jar of Vegemite, and finally broached the subject which had been occupying his thoughts. ‘I say, chaps, now that one has reached the tender age of 54, how does one tell if one is prey to – whatchacallit – a midlife crisis?’ ‘Why do you ask, Chummers?’ said Bosworth, who was busy picking dingo from his teeth. ‘It’s just that I’ve started dating a lass nine years younger than me and I wonder if that is a sort of symptom of chronological anxiety, don’t you know. To top it all, I own a red Jaguar XK120.’ ‘Who doesn’t own a red Jaguar XK120?’ replied Bosworth. ‘One’s companion needs to be at least 30 years younger, or preferably embryonic, before one is approaching a psychological crisis. That’s according to the Byron Shire Hopeless Old Lechers Tantric Pickup Manual, which is emblazoned with the motto, “You’re only as old as the woman you feel”.’ The conversation degenerated from there, and I wandered off to one side to privately toast lost youth. Time’s winged chariot hurries near, as the eminent politician Andrew Marvell once noted, and nothing will stay it from leaving deep wheel marks across one’s back. In the brief moment of existential grace which is the only glory life gives to us, I wrestled with a grass tick for possession of my forearm, and won out by drowning it in a wicked bead of absinthe. – recycled from March 2006. Nothing much has changed since then. Now open Sundays for breakfast and lunch

Mullum’s Storm goes Mega Junior Giants roundup

Storm Gale from Main Armmade history on Saturday night in front of 18,000 screaming fans at Skilled Park Gold Coast in his debut show with the Nitro Circus. Storm, aged just 11 years, became the youngest person in the world ever to jump the Nitro Circus Mega Ramp, a large-format vert ramp structure used in freestyle BMX. He also executed the longest distance jumped by the youngest

person at over 45 foot during his segment in the show. Storm became the youngest member to be inducted into the Nitro Circus, led by the worlds greatest action sports star, Travis Pastrana with over 17 X games medals to his name and numerous world records. The Nitro Circus is world famous for their crazy stunts and their two record breaking MTV series. Storm, who is in year six at Mullumbimby Primary, im-

pressed the circus crew with his bike skills and was given an invite to ride the Gold Coast show after spending the last week hanging out with Pastrana and all the gang training and hitting the theme parks before the Gold Coast show. Storm’s skills and showmanship during the show resulted in an invite to Las Vegas to be a part of their show at the MGM Grand on June 4. If all goes to plan Storm intends bringing a world record trick to the table for this huge one-off event in front of some of the biggest celebrities in the world who will be on hand in Vegas to witness the show. Storm also took out the night’s most valuable rider award as voted by the world’s best riders who took part in the show, joining some of the greatest action sports stars in the world who have been lucky enough to win this prestigious award. Storm’s father Jade Gale is the Director of Photography on the Nitro Circus Live Tour and was present at the historic occasion as was his grandmother Jennifer Gale who was in the crowd and who was totally unaware until they announced Storm’s name that he was a part of the show. The Nitro Circus Mega Ramp is the biggest, steepest and longest ramp in the world and only the world’s best are ever invited to ride it. Just standing on top of it can be scary and intimidates even the best.

Mullumbimby Giants Under 9s Zac Hardisty on the burst.

A beautiful day on Saturday really set the scene for the first round of home games for the Mullumbimby Junior Giants. The Under 7s team had a great game against Tweed Coast Green. The boys are really enjoying their footy and are very happy to be out on the paddock, having fun with their mates. The Giants Under 9s put in a gutsy effort against a stronger Murwillumbah team with Reece Donnelly playing well. Zac Hardisty, Harry Rutter and Nori Arundle also put in some big runs. The Under 10s were in great form with a 34–10 win over Murwillumbah Colts. Max Meikle was in outstanding form in both attack and defence as was Jett Dickinson, Kane Oliss and Lachlan Mitchell. Davis Rutter ran hard all game. Kyle Bungie played well

above his weight and was tough in defence. Dylan Tweedie was man of the match with a brilliant all-round performance. The Under 11 team came away with a strong 42–16 win over Murwillumbah. The forwards set the platform again with Seth Mort playing a strong game in attack and defence. Zai Harris was a standout in the backs scoring three tries. Thanks again to Under 10 boys Max Meikle, Jed Edwards and Shaun Booth who were all very good off the bench. Man of the match was Zai Harris. An outstanding game against Cudgen this week by the Under 12s with the match ending in an 8 all draw. Unbelievable performance from Jayden ‘X’ Browning who ended up with a shiner for his trip to America. Great games this week by Jordan Smith, Ethan Diehm, Ryley Clothier and Under 11

player Zai Harris who stepped up. The Under 13s had a great first match against Murwillumbah. All of the boys put in a huge team effort and played some hard-hitting football. The boys fought hard with Josh Berry scoring two tries and Kyle Mackellar one. Murwillumbah got away with the win but these Mullum boys can be truly proud of their gutsy efforts on the field. Points this week went to Josh Berry, Jordan Burton and Taylor Deegan. The Under 14 boys played well against South Tweed to rack up their second win. First-half attack and defence was awesome and in particular the communication in defence to get off the line quickly. This hard work established a three tries to one lead at half time. South Tweed came back strongly in the second half and really peppered the Mullum line, but the boys held out for a hard fought 22-14 win. Three points this week went to Jake Forrester-Oxley who was awesome with his attack running; two points went to Callum Salisbury and one point each to Darcy Earl and Joe Marsden. With a depleted team the Under 16s put in a massive effort in their game against South Tweed. The whole team worked really hard and played some great entertaining football. Special mention must go to the ever energetic Captain Courageous Rhys Carruth. A great effort from all the boys, with the final score being Mullum 16 South Tweed 28. 7.00 p.m. Lounge Lizards v.

Giants too good for Devils in battle of reggies Magpies defuse Bombers

Did he get it down before the line or not? The ref said yes and Matt Mulcahy registered the Giants’ second try in their win over Byron on Sunday. Photo Tree Faerie See more Devils V Giants in the ‘Sporting Folk’ section: www.treefaeriefotos.com John Campbell

Premiers in 2008, the Byron Bay Red Devils will not field an A-grade side in the NRRRL competition this season. Bush footy has been the life-blood of rugby league since forever (former Mullum prodigy Jacob Miller made his debut for Wests Tigers last Friday night), but our shire’s changing demographic, the attractions of less demanding lifestyle choices for young men and recruitment raids by rivals have resulted in ignominy for the recent champions.

A hastily assembled squad of players, with club stalwart Eli Colby in charge as captaincoach, was belatedly assembled and in Sunday’s balmy heat they took on Byron’s arch rivals, the Mullumbimby Giants, in Round One of the reserve grade comp. After a long summer of humiliating cricket, returning to the Devils’ field of dreams in such circumstances was hardly irresistible, but a local derby is always to be savoured. Others felt the same and it was comforting to return to the fold of regular footy tragics.

When Byron’s Brett Harvey clouted Brett Archibald with a head-high in the opening exchanges a palpable sense of relief surged through the estimated crowd of 6,228 – the boys were at least going to provide us with a wholehearted contest. The ensuing penalty resulted in a converted try to the visitors, but the Devils immediately returned serve with a try to five-eighth Adam Gordon and, at 4–6, the home side was giving as good as it got and dominating territorially. Michael ‘Wolfman’ Chap-

man crossed but was called back for off-side, and it was as close as Byron were to get to being in front. Giants full-back James Chester dived on a perfectly weighted grubber from cagy five-eighth Scott Hogan, whose subtle boot laid on another four-pointer for Matt Mulcahy just minutes later. Capping a golden sequence for the veteran, Hogan turned back the clock half a century to weave his way through the defence in a thirty-metre run to the line. Mullum’s 20–4 half-time lead contradicted the closeness of the contest, but they ran away with it in the second stanza to the tune 0f 42–4. What Byron lacked in combination they made up for with stout effort, but they were inevitably outclassed by a better drilled, fitter outfit – not that an inconsistent ref helped by reducing them to eleven men at one stage through a couple of questionable sin-binnings. It was a hollow feeling to be going home so early – we’d witnessed a preliminary bout without a main event – but the Devils showed enough to warrant a return visit. Next Saturday, the Giants’ first graders open their NRRRL campaign when they clash with Northern United at Les Donnelly Field. It should be a cracker.

The Byron Shire Magpies travelled to battle the Ballina bombers in the usual grudge match. Player shortages meant the Magpies started with 18 only with the help of two ring-ins against a full-strength Ballina outfit. The Magpies began where they finished last week with open running team play. Players were doing the team thing and backing each other up with linking football. Marcus Atkinson was again a ball magnet and was giving the team control from the halfback line. Doug Perich along with Hansom Brooks were taking control in the forward half and with Liam Afflick in the ruck with Joey Ryan roving and Andrew Woods playing strongly the Magpies led by two goals at the first break. The second quarter saw coach Preston dislocate his ankle just before half time with the Magpies up by 28 points. This could have been it for the Magpies, now down to 17, but players rallied and continued strong disciplined team play to

out-play the Bombers. With no bench and players cramping the boys dug deep and ran out winners 13–13–91 to 9–7–61. It was a great team win and a credit to all players. Marcus was given the best onground votes. The team has really gelled under Preston’s coaching with a great feeling around the club. Next week the Magpies take on Tweed at Pottsville.

Little Maggies Following on from a tight win last weekend, the Under 9s put their stamp on the juniors division with a massive win in the north. The Magpies Under 9 team played the Murwillambah Vulcans on Sunday. The Vulcans put up a good fight for such a young side and left the field proud of their efforts. The final score Magpies 20–2–132 and Vulcans nil. This team of little Pies will be a team to watch in 2011. The club is still looking for players and game day helpers so give Mick, 0432 401 334, or George on 6684 1454 a call.

Training tips to avoid the injury sidelines 1. Find your start point as you may experience some loss of fitness since your last season. 2. Consider planning a fitness-building regimen with your health professional. 3. Ease into the first few training sessions to help condition your body to the exercise it will be doing. 4. Slowly increase the intensity, volume and duration to help condition the body to the exercise it is going to do. 5. Ensure any injuries you are carrying from last year have been checked by a qualified professional. 6. Be sure to have an active warm up, including the spine – as the spine co-ordinates all limb movements. 7. Cool down and stretch after your workout – stretching helps decrease muscle soreness and promote muscle balance. 8. Consider increasing your magnesium and vitamin C intake, which is good for feeding muscles and joints. 9. Stay well hydrated before, during and after training and games. Dehydration can cause a loss of concentration, co-ordination, strength and flexibility. New moon

Australia Post is proposing to relocate the Street Posting Box (SPB) at the corner of Ewing Street and Peter Street, Murwillumbah, to the corner of Quarry Road and Lundberg Drive, Murwillumbah South. The proposed relocation was the result of a recent review of postal facilities in the area. It was determined that the new location will better suit the local population. Australia Post is currently undertaking a 30 day consultation process with the local community. During this period a notice will remain on the SPB. Should you have any queries concerning this action please contact Australia Post on 13 13 18. AG43220

Property in Focus

This property has it all with no compromise A beautiful mixture of Victorian and Queenslander, this 4 bedroom family home sits on an 7.2 hectare/18 acre piece of prime land in the Byron Bay hinterland at Brooklet. The main bedroom has its own private entrance, walk in robe and an ensuite bathroom of generous proportions. Character abounds throughout the property with 11 foot high ceilings, hardwood floors and a huge undercover deck where the whole family can enjoy the serenity of this area. The crystal clear 16 metre, saltwater lagoon style swimming pool is easily accessible from the main house yet maintains a wonderful level of privacy by way of the landscaped gardens. The bathrooms and kitchen are recently renovated and there is also a separate lounge or formal dining area. As well as the main house the property offers a rustic log cabin studio which has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The studio is a wonderful opportunity to offer your guests their own private space or perhaps generate an income. Next to the studio is another quaint cottage comprising one main room with a bathroom. It is fresh and light and bright and offers further accommodation or an extra space for your office, utilities etc. The produce component of this acreage currently has approx. 1300 Macadamia trees, 250 Lemon Myrtle trees, 65 Jackfruit trees and an assortment of Limes, Mangoes, Nectarine and Mandarin trees. There is also a chook pen, greenhouse and vegetable garden area to complete the picture. This property also has an abundance of water and a current water licence. There are pumps off each of the water storage tanks plus a pump on the swimming pool so the next owner can have good peace of mind that their water will be plentiful and fresh. Total water storage capacity for the property is approx. 85,000 litres. The machinery shed is situated nicely away from the main house and there is also a storage container next to the shed. This property must be inspected by the discerning buyer who would like a level of self-supporting rural lifestyle with a character home in a great elevated location...only 15 minutes to Byron Bay, 5 minutes to Bangalow and a couple of minutes to Newrybar village. This property has it all with no compromise. Address: 32 Jorgensens Lane, Brooklet Open House: Saturday 12-12:30pm Details/Price: Auction

To a similar extent, construction sites are expected to be male-dominated, while exotic dancing is seemingly restricted to women,’ says Dr Kate Huppatz from the School of Social Sciences at the University of Western Sydney.
