Local NewsA Sunnyboy: the man mainstream forgotMandy NolanStatistics say that one in fiveAustralians will at some timesuffer from a mental illness.Whether a family member,a friend or yourself, no-oneremains untouched from theissues that affect a community.In her documentary The Sunnyboy,film maker Kaye Harrisontells the story of JeremyOxley, the frontman for theband The Sunnyboys as heemerges from a 30-year battlewith schizophrenia.No-one becomes a documentarymaker for the bigbucks; it’s about dedicationto telling a story, no matterhow long it takes.Kaye credits the acclaimThe Sunnyboy has been receivingto the strong relationshipshe developed with Jeremyand the timing of the project.‘The timing of this filmwas very good because Jeremyhad been on medicationfor some years; he was stableand was in the process of reconnectingwith his brotherand the band.’The Sunnyboy followsthe journey of Oxley as heemerges from what has beensolitary torment. He attemptsto reconcile relationshipsfrom the past, particularlywith his brother and formerband member Peter.From his struggle with thephysical effects of years spentself-medicating, to his hope ofa marriage and return to thestage, this is a documentaryabout a man the mainstreamhad forgotten.As a documentary maker,Kaye was drawn to tellingJeremy’s story to lift the veilof ignorance that surroundsschizophrenia, and to personalisethe story by tellingit about someone that mostAustralians know, someoneyou could remember as talented,successful and vibrant.SchizophreniaSchizophrenia is a sensitivesubject matter for a documentarymaker, particularly whenthe subject doesn’t necessarilyhave insight about their illness.And yet their story needsto be told honestly and withthe view not to cause harmwith the finished product.‘Jeremy sometimes doesn’tbelieve he has a mental illness,’says Kaye, ‘so he nevertalks about it in those terms.‘It was challenging to makethe documentary withoutJeremy’s insight, and it wasa great burden for me. HereI was making a film aboutschizophrenia trying to createawareness – I was alwaysconcerned that he would beashamed of it and it woulddamage him in some way.‘I tell the story but it’s howhe sees it, it’s through his eyes.In the film when he talksabout the diagnosis, he talksabout what the psychiatristsays and how he felt and theself-medication,’ says Kaye.‘He started drinking reallyheavily and it ruined shows;some are good, some are amess. In the end that is whatcame between them (theband and the brothers) andafter the Sunnyboys broke upthere was a period of lots ofself-medication with drugs,and he wouldn’t get any help.Kaye says that he got tothe point where he lost everythingand was sleeping on thestreet. ‘He hit rock bottomthen went to Callan Park forthree months. He didn’t reactwell to the lithium and vowedhe wouldn’t go on medicationever again.’ From that pointOxley moved out of Sydney,moving to places like Ipswichand Pottsville, but eventuallyending up in Queensland.Much of the film focusesnot just on the reunion of theband, but the reunion of thebrothers. ‘It’s a big part of thefilm,’ says Kaye. ‘It is abouttheir relationship and theirseparation and their comingback together. The film’s keyemotional highlight is the reformationof the Sunnyboysfor their show at the Enmoretheatre in April 2012.‘For Jeremy, his biggest fearwas “what are people going tothink of me”? But he’s such aprofessional and stepped up.‘He never talks with selfpity,’ she says, ‘he talks like he’sa bit of a soldier.’Kaye Harrison’s film TheSunnyboy will be screening atSplendour in the Grass on Saturdayat midday and will befollowed by an audience withKaye, Peter Oxley and MaryOxley-Griffiths. Other screeningsinclude Birch Carroll &Coyle Cinema in Coolangattaon August 16, 17 and 24 andthe Star Court in Lismore onAugust 18 and 23.West Papua Flotilla in townOften ignored by mainstream media is the occupation andatrocities committed by Indonesiana on the people of one ofour closest neighbours, West Papua.

CommentVolume 28 #07 July 23, 2013No home among the gum treesWhile not as sexy as Sea Shepherd, Australians for AffordableHousing (http://housingstressed.org.au) runs a tight ship forthose with problems on land. This cohort of welfare agenciesand other groups seeks to bring to the attention of the majorpolitical parties many Australians’ housing stress, even amongthe fully employed. So far only the Greens have responded inany meaningful way in their policies – http://greens.org.au/policies/housing – while the Labs/Libs/Nats continue to wringtheir hands over the best way to herd asylum seekers intothird-world concentration-camp conditions.In response to the release last week of AFH’s report ‘OpeningDoors to Employment: Is housing affordability hinderingjobseekers?’, Australian Council Of Social Services CEO DrCassandra Goldie pointed out the great Catch-22: ‘Jobseekerscannot live in areas where jobs are available without being inhousing stress. They either live in poverty on low income supportpayments, or they move to areas with jobs available andlive in housing related poverty.’Even the developers’ lobby group, the Property Council ofAustralia, recognises the need for affordable housing, but sofar no government has implemented a bold enough plan totackle the issue. In NSW, councils are severely under-resourcedand the O’Farrell state government seems keener on appeasingproperty developers’ money-making needs than in makinglife in a subdivision truly affordable, though the ABC reportsone inspiring example involving Indigenous prisoners and thestate’s Aboriginal Housing Office – http://bit.ly/14m5o4I.What the housing stressed need is a program like FranklinD Roosevelt’s New Deal of 1933–36, in which housing istreated as a human right, not the plaything of the upwardlymobile.Michael McDonaldThe <strong>Byron</strong> <strong>Shire</strong> <strong>Echo</strong>Established 1986General Manager Simon HaslamEditor Of Convenience Hans LovejoyPhotographer Jeff DawsonPrint Advertising Manager Stuart AmosProduction Manager Ziggi BrowningNicholas Shand1948–1996Founding Editor© 2013 <strong>Echo</strong> Publications Pty Ltd – ABN 86 004 000 239Mullumbimby: Village Way, Stuart St. Ph 02 6684 1777 Fax 02 6684 1719<strong>Byron</strong> Bay: Unit 5, 6 Tasman Way, Arts & Industry Estate.

No. NBF9237.So the great asylum seekerdebate is officially over.No more bleedinghearts versus hardliners; notmore do-gooders against xenophobes.And no more compassionseeking to moderatepragmatism. From now on thepolicy is clear, bipartisan andbrutal: keep the bastards out.For those who’ve comeacross the seas, our boundlessplains are not for sharing.Instead of coming to Australia,the tenth richest countryin the world, they are tobe shunted off to Papua-NewGuinea, the one hundred andthirty-ninth. They may not behappy about it, but that’s justthe point: let them rot in thecamps of Indonesia. Or if possibleeven further away. Juststop the boats.And it might; not, as Ruddadmits, immediately, but ifand when the governmentis seen to be serious – ruthless– about the new policy,risking one’s life and moneyto exchange one hellhole foranother could well cease to bea gamble worth taking.Even Tony Abbott reckonsthat it is not a bad idea,although of course he is quickto add that it will never workunder Kevin Rudd. And as apolitical solution it is simpleand elegant: a concrete planwith a far better chance of successthan anything Abbott andhis unwholesome immigrationspokesman Scott Morrisonhave proposed.But that does not meanthat even by its own pragmaticstandards it will be troublefree. For starters, there is thecost; we have not yet been toldjust what is entailed but it willnot be less than an arm anda leg. Of course, we will savemuch of the money now spenton facilities at home, and, assumingthe boats stop or atleast ease off, the resources,effort and angst of the navyacting as a coastguard, but bythe time we have paid off thegovernment in Port Moresbyand assumed the ongoing expensesassociated with ManusIsland, there will be anotherbig hole in the budget.Then there are the politics:the current PNG prime ministerPeter O’Neill may be happyabout the arrangement but elementsof his splintered oppositionare not, and governmentsin our nearest neighbour havea habit of changing somewhatunpredictably.And the ongoing situation isnot all that promising, The localsdo not generally welcomeuninvited intruders, especiallyif they are Asian and/or Muslim.And PNG already has arefugee problem of its own: unlikeAustralia, the country has aland border, which some 9,000desperates have crossed fleeingpersecution in Irian Jaya.Given its own straitenedeconomy, the residents maybe forgiven for feeling they alreadydo enough for the causewithout making an open-endedcommitment to their formercolonial master.And in any case thingsare far from locked up; thereis certain to be a challenge tothe legislation in Australia’sHigh Court, which knockedback Julia Gillard’s Malaysiasolution. The current plan hasNorth Coast news daily:more chance of success – unlikeMalaysia, PNG is a signatoryto the UN Convention onRefugees, for what that’s worth.But Rudd still has a fewhoops to jump through beforehe can claim to have put thismost vexing of political problemsto bed.Still, he has to be givenmarks for trying. On any levelthe current situation was outof control.With more than 15,000 boatpeople having arrived alreadythis year and no sign of reliefin sight, circumstances hadindeed changed since 2008,when he happily dismantledJohn Howard’s Pacific solution.The drownings were becomingcommonplace, despitethe best efforts of an increasinglytraumatised navy and thecaps were overflowing.And worst of all, the politicshad become worse than toxic:with Abbott’s uncompromisingand opportunistic stance therewas a real danger that the electioncould turn into nasty brawlabout race, even worse thanHoward’s dark victory of 2001.Rudd’s lurch to the rightwas not pretty, but if it worksand the boats do stop, he willbe forgiven much, even by thehumanitarians who are nowhis sternest critics. And theremay even be a bright side.

If the PNG solution comesoff, their chances will improvesignificantly. But it is not the solutionmany would have wanted;it is easy to sympathise withthe Greens’ Christine Milne,who dubbed it a day of shame.But it would be more accurateto talk of 12 years ofshame starting at the time ofthe Tampa, when the majorityof Australians applaudedJohn Howard as he thundered:‘None of those people will everset foot in Australia – never!’In fact, a lot of them later did,but the mood was set – a moodRudd is now reinforcing.Unlike the countries of Europe,the Middle East and Africa,where most asylum seekersarrive on foot, Australia isgirt by sea.And we have an atavisticdread of unauthorised maritimearrivals – the boats, howeverharmless, are always seena some kind of invasion, athreat to our way of lives.When it comes to asylumseekers, this appears an absurdexaggeration, but perhaps, justperhaps, it is not entirely irrational.After all, it has happenedbefore.Just ask the Aboriginals.

LettersThe horrors of holiday letting Cr Rose Wanchap (Letters,July 16) just does not get it.Residents against holiday lettingare not just about touristsmaking noise but rathersocial amenity. Having todeal with a different set ofneighbours every week, neverhaving the same neighbours,wondering who’s next doorthis week.Getting that feeling of ahole in your stomach everytime a new carload of peoplearrives at the house next doorthat’s never had a permanentresident. As Jenny Shiels wrote(Letters, July 16), ‘After havingendured 18 months of holidayletting I now have neighboursagain and my life back.’Holiday letting in residentialareas is illegal and Councilmust address the problem.Simon DavisVictims Of Holiday Letting Who wants to live nextdoor to a commercial shortstayrented property?

CrWanchap is part of the problem,not the solution.John Lazarus<strong>Byron</strong> BayWhen a council ignores itsown rules and regulations,how can it expect its residentsand ratepayers to complywith them? Simon Davisis absolutely right: holidayrenting in residential zonesis illegal and has been eversince the 1988 LEP; the recentTerrigal decision simply reinforcesthis (Letters, July 16).Cr Wanchap’s attemptsto sidestep the issue by suggestingyet another way ofsupporting the illegal practicedo her no credit. Giventhat successive councils havefailed to act (despite heartfeltpleas from residents – manyof whom have given up andmoved away) and that the illegalityhas continued for solong, a case could be made forgiving these renters a (limited)period of time to ceaseoperating – and sell if that’swhat they want to do. I believethis should be the basisof any future negotiations.No more endless talk festsand useless attempts to bringtogether totally disparate interests.I think all councillorsattended at least some of thepublic meetings held earlierin the year to hear about <strong>Byron</strong>’sproblems around NewYears Eve and beyond – andmany of the stories we heardwere heart rending.I welcome the currentplanning for NYE but Council’sduty of care is supposedto apply all year round so wewait to see if this council willfinally take action againstholiday letting and prove itselfworthy of our respect.Jenny ComanBangalowmore tourists.

An olddiving tower, once a feature on the river,has been restored as a sculptural featureopposite the end of Stuart Street.Earlier this year I completeda three-monthCurtin Universitycourse called Protecting HeritagePlaces. The outcomewas a comprehensive ConservationManagement Planfor Mullumbimby, a subjectdear to my heart as a residentwith a family association withthe village that goes back to1908.Council should be ableto establish the DevelopmentGuide required for theHeritage Conservation Areadefined in the new LEP andproposed changes to theNSW planning system. However,funding the creation of astrategy to optimise the tourismand creative business opportunitiesthis could bringwill be a challenge.The Conservation ManagementPlan emerged fromthis concern. Part of the planwas a Vision Statement. Tosome it might seem trite orunrealistic. To others it mightbe inspirational. Either way,feedback would be valuableand appreciated.The visionIn 2025 the village of Mullumbimbyis famed as a dynamiccentre of creative excellencein music and the arts.It is a living place supportedby a community that believeshonouring the village’s pastand its beautiful setting hasproduced an enduring, pleasurableplace in which to live,work and visit. A balance hasbeen achieved between conservationof the village’s heritage,culture and character andnew development to create avigorous and vibrant atmosphere.And, while rivalry seldomsurfaces, Mullumbimbysees itself as a relaxed contrastto the frenetic exuberance of<strong>Byron</strong> Bay or the lofty sophisticationof Bangalow.The village remains an eclecticcommunity of farmers,artists, musicians, complementarytherapists, retireesand others seeking a sustainablealternative to the stresses,attitudes and contaminationof city suburban life.They are passionate aboutMullumbimby’s cultural andbuilt heritage, and its historyof tolerance, but residents encourageand admire thoughtfulchange.WelcomingIn keeping with its past,Mullumbimby offers an inclusiveand welcoming environment.It celebrates discovery,innovation and personalgrowth through internationallyrespected annual music,art, environment and spiritualfestivals, a famed SculptureWalk and a moving feast ofexhibitions.

Led by a progressive,reforming council, thosewho said the vision couldnot be realised are now enthusiasticvolunteers.EmploymentMullumbimby’s successand growing optimism hasprovided satisfying employmentopportunities for itsyouth. Groundbreaking affordablehousing solutionsfor key workers, youths, theaged and homeless have beencreated and awarded for theirenvironmental performanceand design excellence.

NOW OVER 30 YEARS ON THIS TALENTEDACTOR HAS SHOWN THE WORLD THAT HE’S GOT A FEW TRICKS UP HISSLEEVE AND HAS BEEN PERFORMING FRANK A LIFE IN SONG. BURLINSONCLEARLY HAS A KNACK FOR PLAYING ICONIC FIGURES, ALTHOUGH HE’SVERY CLEAR THAT FRANK IS A SHOW WHERE ‘I PRESENT THE SONGS OFFRANK – I AM NOT IMPERSONATING FRANK!’Burlinson reveals that ‘I sing songs in the Sinatra style. The arrangements are based onthe original and I follow the particular phrasing and how he holds notes, but it is still mesinging, otherwise it would just be imitation. There is a fine line between impersonationand giving an impression. If I don’t have a connection with the lyric of the song and themusic then it won’t mean anything for me.’The show traces Frank Sinatra’s impressive and very long career. Most people are familiarwith the swing era and the big band music, but Sinatra did start out as a romantic crooner.‘We travel back chronologically to the early days, from the late 1930s with the romanticmaterial, lots of ballads. To perform that I have to sing in his early style which is very fluid,very romantic. As for the band, it’s largely string arrangements.‘Then in the 50s he went between both styles, but the most well known is the swingingSinatra of Lady is a Tramp and Come Fly with Me ; and later in the 60s there was more ofa demonstrative style, as his voice deteriorated with age the style was punchy and hedeveloped a great feeling for jazz. So we get a taste of all of these different times. I follow itroughly chronologically.’There’s a lot of Sinatra to cover, the song and the story. So how does Burlinson weave hisway through this immense amount of material?‘I say to the band that we have to imagine what it was like and why those girls in the1940s, when their boyfriends were away at the war, loved Frank and how he became sucha romantic idol. We try to focus on the music, not on the other stories surrounding Frank.You can’t do it all. I do talk about his relationship with the press and how it deteriorated, hisalleged association with the mafia. Often what he chose to sing was a reflection of whathappened to him. Like in the 1960s when he married Mia Farrow – he would have been inhis late 50s and she would have been 21. He was singing You Make Me Feel So Young. Andthen when they split he sang Summer Wind.‘The quintessential Sinatra for me,’ says Burlinson, ‘is the swing period. Songs like I Got YouUnder My Skin and Lady is a Tramp. Those are the ones that you can’t not do. And of courseas you get towards the end of the show you have to sing New York New York and My Way. ’In presenting the music Burlinson believes ‘you can’t dwell too much on the 1930s and 40sotherwise the audiences go to sleep. Of course I touch on that, but you need to bring thetempo up again to have that affect and to keep the contrast.’ To move through the massiveback catalogue of material Burlinson presents medleys.So what is it about Sinatra that still strikes such a chord with audiences of all ages?‘His voice certainly wasn’t perfect. He had this extraordinary charisma. I did witness itseveral times, and that is the indefinable thing about being a performer – you either haveit or you don’t. And he had it. I think also the good-guy-bad-guy is quite interesting. Weknow he could wear his heart on his sleeve and he could be a tough hood, and that wholemystique is part of the attraction as he changed over the years. When older people cometo the show they say it’s like going through a catalogue of memories; this was the musicalbackground of their lives, and I think Sinatra was the greatest interpreter of the greatAmerican songbook.’So how did an actor from the big screen end up toe-tapping along to old Blue Eyes?‘Years ago a friend of mine said, “Why don’t you try to write something for yourself?” Andhe was thinking of me as an actor, I guess, but it ended up with my writing a song aboutmusic and about Sinatra’s affect on my life. The song was called The Man in the Hat and itstarted the whole process of the development in my career; singing it on The Midday Showand sending it to Tina Sinatra in Los Angeles and then being cast as the young Sinatra inthe miniseries, and then being known in Australia that the man from Snowy River couldalso sing like Sinatra, and it all came from my writing something. Just one song. I can put itall back to that and going back to Ray Martin with the audio cassette at the Logie awardsand saying “listen to this”. I tell this story as part of the show, how it all came from one prettysimple place.’So what is Tom Burlinson’s advice for young actors, musicians, or performers. ‘Give 100 percent.’And that’s what you can expect when he is joined by his eight-piece band at the LismoreCity Hall to present Frank, A Life in Song.Thursday 25 July, 8pm.

From the Yolngu and Greece with loveFrom Elcho Island to YouTube, the rest of the world is now‘absorbing’ the new sensations of a contemporary dance versionof Zorba the Greek by the group called Chooky Dancers. TheChooky Dancers entertain their guests with an extraordinary styleof contemporary and traditional performances that will leave youcaptivated and spellbound.Tell me how you became the Chooky Dancers and why youchose to dance Yolngu Zorba the Greek? The dance was initiallydeveloped by Lionel Dulmanawuy, who is the lead choreographer.He created the dance during what is described as hard times andwas inspired by a very good Greek friend named Liliane, who wasthe main carer of his sister Priscilla who passed away recently. Therelationship between the Yolngu family and the Greek family wasthe main inspiration for creating the dance as a way of saying ThankYou.When Frank Djirrimbilpilwuy (Lionel’s father) lodged the videoclip on YouTube around mid-October 2007, within 12 weeks it hadpeaked at over 500,000 hits worldwide and now it has had over twomillion hits.How many of you in the troupe? Seven performers, one elder,one director/manager.Do you meet and rehearse regularly or do you work to specialevents or shows? The boys meet and rehearse regularly andbecause of the flow of work we rehearse often. Even between gigswe rehearse because the boys love it.Do you have a choreographer? Yes we have a few in the groupbut mainly it’s Lionel Dulmanawuy, one of the dancers.When did you start dancing? How did you start to learn? Howdo you work toward improving your craft? The boys have beendancing their whole lives and professionally and as a source ofincome for just over seven years. They are pioneers in what they aredoing, trailblazers in their field, and the more they do it the morethey have a definitive grasp of it. They are continually improvingas it is a natural evolution of physicality and developing their ownartistic practice.Was it a big surprise for you all – to do something as a personaltribute and then end up having a bit of a viral reaction? Yes. Noonecould have imagined it at the time. Unbeknown to them theywere setting in motion something that would fulfill dreams theyweren’t even aware of.How are YouTube and social media making more remotecommunities visible to the broader community? It gives usexposure to the world, even though people are as physically andliterally as far away as possible. The beauty of the internet is thateven when you’re in a remote community you can be as connectedas the CBD.What is in store for us at Boomerang Festival?

Of course I wear it quite often, but I rest it. Hide it in mywardrobe so that it can be re-discovered, thus making it aworthy candidate of another outing. So after the gig a womancomes up and she goes, ‘You wore that last month’. All theseyears my husband has been saying, ‘I don’t know why youworry about wearing the same thing again. Nobody notices.’Clearly that’s not true. Women notice. Even with a month inbetween, women remember.That’s a slipup. I don’t think I’ve ever consciously done thatbefore.

I rememberperforming on the same bill as him at the comedystore in Sydney and it was really intimidatingbecause he just had the room in the palm of hishand. I was flat out getting them onto a finger.’You would have seen the work of comedian andwriter Gary Eck without ever knowing it. As a sharpshootingcreative Eck was called upon by GeorgeMiller to assist in the writing of Happy Feet II. Itwasn’t his first foray into film; in 2003 he co wroteYou Can’t Stop the Murders and starred in the filmBoytown alongside Mick Molloy and Glenn Robbins.Gary Eck is one of Australia’s most popular andversatile standup comedians, whose fast wit has beenentertaining Australian and international audiencesfor nearly two decades. Gary’s career has taken himall round theworld fromEdinburghto Paris andNew York toLondon.

WhileTHURSDAY AT BALLINA RSL renovating her house, she movedeverything single thing out, and thenreturned only those things she consideredespecially treasured or useful. While many were connected tomemories and to the people closest to her, she also appreciatedthe beauty of simple, apparently ordinary things – a discarded jar,some spoons, an odd teacup, the weight of a teapot in the hand, ahalf-remembered nick-nack – these things both evoke and createa sense of home. So she decided to make an exercise of recordingthem, one object a day, one day at a time. Then with a stylist’s eyefor composition, Adams began to pair otherwise unrelated objectsto create personal vignettes; vibrant pastels, notoriously labile,meticulously tamed in further service of her intimate narratives.For Rene Bolten there are no suchTHE PARIS OPERA BALLET musings. Nostalgia, memory, story, evenPRESENTS LA SYLPHIDE, reflection are all subordinate to theSCREENING AT PALACE BYRON demands of paint. Jostled by it, enticedBAY CINEMA ON SUNDAY and seduced, the painter is led by thebrush. It is an exercise in trial and errormimicking life itself, uncertainty leadingstep by tentative step to precarious resolution. There is always asense of the unfinished to Bolten’s work and, at the same time,an indelible sense of rightness. It’s as if the paint itself, infinitelymalleable, is used as a metaphor for life. Here, in the stillness of thisobject, he seems to say, is life’s constant motion, described to youthrough the fluidity of paint.For Katka object serves as anchor – sense sensation is the reliablelaunchpad from which imagination can soar and stories revealthemselves.

The delicateand ethereal dancer MarieTaglioni played the unattainable,dream-conjured sylph, alongsideJoseph Mazilier. The libretto byAdolphe Nourrit was inspiredby romantic tales recountingthe impossible love betweena human and a supernaturalcreature, with the tormentedyoung James finding himselftorn between the promise of a comfortable life held out by hisimpending marriage to Effie, and the freedom embodied by theSylphide, that inaccessible ideal who comes to him in his dreams.The work was a critical triumph from the outset, praised inparticular by Théophile Gautier, who would later write the librettofor Giselle. This emblematic ballet was lost to the repertoire formore than a century and is now being presented at the Paris Operawith a cast featuring The Étoiles, Premiers Danseurs and Corps deBallet Paris Opera Orchestra in a faithful recreation by Pierre Lacotte,whose immense choreographic culture has enabled him to unraveland recast the spells of the grand French romantic style.La Sylphide screens at Palace<strong>Byron</strong> Bay Cinema on SundayJuly 28 at 1pm.CUSTOM GUITARS& GUITAR REPAIRSThis month’s specialswhile stocks lastRe-string, clean andassessment withFREE STRINGS $30*Set-up, clean and fretboard polish withFREE STRINGS $60** Free strings stock is limited,12 string & some electricsmay be extra for set-upRUST AND BONE,SCREENING ATDRILL HALLTHEATRE,MULLUMBIMBYON FRIDAY0414 782 866 | www.learyguitars.comNorth Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au The <strong>Byron</strong> <strong>Shire</strong> <strong>Echo</strong> July 23, 2013 23

This is How by M J HylandReview by Christopher HanleyThe American novelist Jonathan Franzen once said that a writershould always write in the third person unless a really distinctive firstperson voice offers itself irresistibly.Patrick Oxtoby, the main character and narrator in Maria Hyland’sthird novel This is How, is a really distinctive and compelling firstperson voice.Reading an M J Hyland novel is like watching people through amagnifying glass. She slows down the rhythm of This is How with hersimple language so you look more closely at her characters and youoften feel like you are sitting in on their conversations.A Hyland novel is also all verbs and nouns and many of the wordsare one syllable. ‘I step forward, lift the wrench in my right hand andbring it down. Only once, a good, certain blow to his temple, notheavy, and the wrench bounces.’ Twenty-three of the 29 words areone syllable.Patrick has been jilted and he leaves his home, somewhere in theHOW ARE YOU SMART?The intelligence measure that trumps the IQ Testwww.newphilosopher.comAugust - October 2013Leunig, Carey, SingerA magazine for thinkers to launchat the <strong>Byron</strong> Bay Writers’ FestivalMC: Ross CoulthartSaturday 3rd August, 10:30amFree entryFull program now on sale5 marquees130 writers,99 conversations,Plus foodie and feature events, performance, slam poetry,literary trivia, workshops, launches and....YOU!www.byronbaywritersfestival.com or call 02 6685 5115<strong>Byron</strong> Bay Writers’ Festivalbyronbaywritersfestival.com.auHyland’s compelling style zeroes in on characternorth of England and turns up in winter at a boarding house, in anunnamed seaside town, with a toolkit under his arm and you knowsomething is not quite right.Patrick is an awkward young man. He thinks he gets it and othersdon’t. He thinks his jokes are funny and they are not. You squirm alot reading this book. He speaks and seems outwardly normal buthis internal thought processes are strange. We also sense that Patrickcould be violent.M J Hyland is a fearless writer who writes stories about people whodo not often appear in books. Her prose is deceptively simple and itseems she is trying to hide her art inside her modest language. Allthe words in an M J Hyland novel are self-sufficient and autonomous.Her sentences are the same and you sense that much time has beenspent on the rewriting and editing of this novel.This is How is set in the 1960s, without mobile phones and theinternet, and we are returned to a slower world where everythingtakes time. People still write letters and process and change andcommunication are slow.Hyland is a lawyer and the novel is based on a true story, TwelveInterviews with Twelve Murderers by Tony Parker. The claustrophobicatmosphere of the second part of the novel clearly comes from hermeticulous research and from her stints teaching creative writing toprisoners.Our world today is black and white and instantaneous. Crimes andall our blemishes and mistakes are up on the internet or TV, virtuallyas they happen. A novelist though has the advantage of explainingthe back story and of working in the grey to build empathy for theircharacters and their actions.Fiction writing allows a writer to be more sympathetic to flawedcharacters than we can afford to be in the real world. Patrick is a 22year old middle class boy who ends up in a maximum security prisonand Hyland works a lot in the grey in this book to build sympathy forPatrick and others, particularly some of the long term career criminalsin his prison. Life shrinks in gaol for Patrick and there are rules andultimately it is an easier place for him to be than the real world,where he does not seem to understand the rules.It’s time to get those manuscripts out from under the bed. The <strong>Byron</strong>Bay Writers’ Festival offers exceptional opportunities for writers readyto spruce their work up for publication.Festival director Jeni Caffin said that writers can book a one onone consultation with outstanding author and writing tutor, SarahArmstrong, or come along to the all day Nuts and Bolts session onThursday where a range of industry professionals will share theirhard-won wisdom.‘New writers benefit enormously from the opportunity to havean experienced writer read their work and provide them withconstructive advice,’ Jeni said.‘Thanks to funding from the Litlink program and Varuna the WritersHouse we are able to offer one hour consultations with SarahArmstrong at the Festival.Sarah’s first novel, Salt Rain, was shortlisted for the Miles FranklinAward, the Queensland Premier’s Award and the Dobbie Award soshe is eminently suited to offer assistance to developing writers.pureCOMFORTEnd of yearErgonomics20% off RRPDuorestErgonomicpurecomfort.com.aucnr Bayshore Dr& Centennial Cct,BYRON BAY(02) 6680 7700For me oneof the greatachievements ofthis novel is indemonstratingthrough fictionhow any of uscould end up ina place we neverthought wewould inhabit.

Photo Rory Carnegieyou learn them,there is a way tosurvive. A way to exist.In This Is How, M J Hyland shows us what it is like to not be able tosay what we feel. To be without the right words. To be like Patrick,who says ’I wanted to push her down the stairs, make the kind ofimpression I did not know how to make with words.’Finally can I also recommend two works of nonfiction by M J Hyland?1. My Drugs Do Work My Life On Brain Enhancers – The Guardian May2013.2. A Body’s Betrayal An essay in Granta.Both essays are on the BBWF website www.byronbaywritersfestival.com. They are raw and confronting and brave.M J H will be appearing at the <strong>Byron</strong> Bay Writers’ Festival,August 2-4.Festival offers help for emerging writers‘Sarah will read up to thirtypages of writing beforehandand provide a detailed andsupportive critique withthe opportunity to askquestions.‘The Nuts and Bolts sessionon Thursday covers thebusiness and practicalitiesof being a writer. Over tenindustry professionals,including authors,publishers and publicists willshare their knowledge of the Author Sarah Armstrongindustry. Hear the myths, thejargon and the truths of publishing from those in the know.‘We have an action-packed program lined up with representativesfrom leading publishing houses, the Australia Council for the Arts,Southern Cross University and the Australian Society of Authors toname just a few. Participants will walk away well informed about theins and outs of the industry, and with the ultimate toolkit of tips, factsand insider knowledge’ Jeni said.Bookings are essential.

Mariana:John and I were living in Sydney, where Johnwas a head chef/consultant at the Vanguardin Newtown, and I was working at Ripplesin Whale Beach. We had been on holidays inEurope salivating at the idea of opening ourown restaurant and moving away from Sydney,when upon our return the opportunity to comeand manage Traditional Thai came up. Aftermanaging the restaurant for a few months,we took over the reins and it has been ourfirst baby for almost two years now. Having arestaurant and raising a child in <strong>Byron</strong> Bay ismore than we had ever dreamed of.Could you tell us a little about yourbackground and influences? John: the guruof Thai cuisine David Thompson sparked mypassion for Thai food. During my formativeyears as a chef I encountered David, whotaught me all about Thai food and the fine artof balancing flavours.Mariana: I have worked in England and Italybefore coming to Australia. Being one of fourmanagers at El Brellin, a historical restaurant inMilan, Italy, has taught me a lot about runninga restaurant, but it is the love for food and lifethat is at the heart of my customer service.ABOUT YOUR RESTAURANTHow would you describe your restaurant?There are two secrets at Traditional Thai – oneis our amazing team of chefs and waiters, theother the freshly pounded curry pastes, thehomemade sauces, sorbets, ice-creams, etc. We'hunt' for authentic Asian produce locally, fromBrisbane and sometimes all the way to Sydney.Betel leaves, green papaya, pea and appleeggplants are only a few ingredients among thevast palette of unique Thai flavours that are partof our dishes. We cook every single individualdish to order to ensure maximum quality andGOODTASTETraditional ThaiJohn Verano: Head ChefMariana Pavlova: Restaurant Managerfreshness offlavours.Are you licensedand/or byo? Weare fully licensedbut offer a BYOoption for wineand champagne,bottles only,at $6 corkagecharge. We alsooffer a varietyof cocktails andmocktails, uniqueto Traditional Thai, designed especially tocomplement the flavours of our dishes.ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERSWhy do you think people come to yourrestaurant rather than another? You canembark on a culinary trip to Thailand on ourbalcony, snuggled up by the heater with awarm blanket around your shoulders, inside therestaurant, or you can order a take-away.How do you cater for diners with specialrequirements such as vegetarians, vegansand celiacs?

Halfof that rise might come from iceloss in Antarctica which is currentlycontributing less than 10per cent to global sea-level rise.‘CO2, once emitted by burningfossil fuels, stays an awfullylong time in the atmosphere,’says Anders Levermann, leadauthor of the study and researchdomain co-chair at thePotsdam Institute for ClimateImpact Research. ‘Consequently,the warming it causes alsopersists.’Out of balanceThe oceans and ice sheets areslow in responding, simply becauseof their enormous mass,which is why observed sea-levelrise is now measured in millimetresper year. ‘The problemis: once heated out of balance,they simply don’t stop,’ saysLevermann.The study is the first to combineevidence from early Earth’sclimate history with comprehensivecomputer simulationsusing physical models of allfour major contributors tolong-term global sea-level rise.During the 20th century, sealevel rose by about 0.2 metres,and it is projected to riseby significantly less than twometres by 2100 even for thestrongest scenarios considered.At the same time, past climaterecords, which average sealeveland temperature changesover a long time, suggest muchhigher sea levels during periodsof Earth’s history that werewarmer than present.The international team ofscientists used data from sedimentsfrom the bottom of thesea and ancient raised shorelinesfound on various coastlinesaround the world.‘Confident’‘The Antarctic computersimulations were able to simulatethe past five million yearsof ice history, and the othertwo ice models were directlycalibrated against observationaldata – which in combinationmakes the scientists confidentthat these models are correctlyestimating the future evolutionof long-term sea-level rise,’ saysPeter Clark, a paleo-climatologistat Oregon State Universityand co-author on the study.If global mean temperaturerises by four degrees comparedto pre-industrial times, theAntarctic ice sheet will contributeabout 50 per cent ofsea-level rise over the next twomillennia.‘Continuous sea-level riseis something we cannot avoidunless global temperatures godown again,’ concludes Levermann.‘Sea-level rise might be slowon time scales on which weelect governments, but it is inevitableand therefore highlyrelevant for almost everythingwe build along our coastlines,for many generations to come.’ Article: Levermann, A., Clark,P., Marzeion, B., Milne, G., Pollard,D., Radic, V., Robinson,A.

SportCasino no place to go if you can’t afford to loseStory & photo John CampbellFor a while there, the MullumbimbyGiants were beginningto look like an outside chanceof figuring in the NRRRLplay-offs. Following a disastrous2012 and a shaky startto 2013, coach Troy Johnstonehad guided his boys to thecusp of an unlikely spot in thetop five. It all came to a shatteringend on a sunny winter’sarvo at Queen Elizabeth Parklast Sunday when the CasinoCougars gave the blue-andgoldsa 49–16 hiding.It was one of those gamesin which everything wentright for the home side whileall was reduced to ashes forthe visitors. Not that luck hadanything to do with it, and, togive credit where it’s due, theGiants were poor, the Cougarsexcellent.Mullum were away to acracking start when GrantCook surged into the Cougars’twenty after he’d cleaned-up akick charge-down. In the ensuingset, young butter-blondsecond-rower Todd Arthurbacked up some probingrunning by Dan Woods andTim Abbott to stroll over and,with Woods’s conversion, theGiants were ahead 6–0. Unfortunately,it didn’t take longfor things to go horribly awry.Casino’s custodian tooka bomb and, from nothing,sent his half-back on aneighty-metre dash to the line.The Cougars’ number seven,David Briggs, a spindlyleggedbut tough little Kooriwith a ton of pace, produceda whale of a game. He and histall, Sutton-like number-sixhad a hand in all of Casino’snine tries.Hatz by the green in MullumAfter a slow, wet year, theMullumbimby Golf Club hasstruggled: the ladies of theclub are arriving hat in handto help raise funds to supportthe club.Hatz by the Green is welcomingto members andguests.

In quick timeit was 28–6 and the Giants,guilty of far too much ineffectivetackling and lousy ballcontrol, were starting to resemblethe Australian cricketersat Lord’s – which is tosay, they were rooted.The second forty startedin much the same way as thefirst. Mullum applied earlypressure but when opportunitypresented itself theysurrendered possession withill-considered or misdirectedpasses. The Cougars, lappingup their opponents’ knockons,displayed overwhelmingenthusiasm and neverfailed to take advantage ofwhat came their way. Kickinga field-goal to make it 39–6was a contemptuous appraisalof the visitors and Mullum,gritty to the end, struck backwith true spirit.Lightweight winger ZacDocking notched a try and,after a barnstorming lead-upby Jake ‘Cobar’ Francisco andRobbie ‘Crazy’ Goodacre,Aaron ‘the Mo’ Cook crossedunder the sticks.In the prelim, the Giants,who always produce a toughUnder 18s outfit, registeredan impressive 22–10 victoryto keep alive their semishopes.Mullumbimby will nowneed to re-group for thisSunday’s local derby against<strong>Byron</strong> Bay at Red Devil Park.You can rest assured that theywill.

WA is the only state tohave achieved clear and consistentimprovements in residential landsales over the past 18 months.‘Land prices, however, continueto find record highs. Sydney andPerth are the country’s two mostexpensive land markets and byquite a margin. It’s no coincidencethat they are the two most highlytaxed residential new home buildingmarkets in the country, owingin large part to excessive taxes andcharges related to land.‘Other capital cities are also witnessingupwards price pressures onserviceable residential land. Ensuringreadily available and affordableland forms a crucial part of thewider policy challenge of addressingthe excessive and inefficient taxand regulatory environment facedby the new home sector.’According to RP Data’s researchdirector Tim Lawless, land salesare broadly starting to head in theright direction; however, affordabilityconstraints may limit the extentof the recovery.‘The consecutive quarterlyincreases in land sales are certainlyencouraging, albeit the rate ofgrowth has slowed from 11.9 percent in the December 2012 quarterto 4.3 per cent in the March 2013quarter,’ Mr Lawless said.‘With the increase in sales, therehas also been a lift in land values;ongoing increases in the value ofland may restrict the extent of therecovery given the already restrictiveland prices in certain regions.‘The increase in land sales is inline with the improving trend insales across the detached houseand unit markets throughout thesecond half of 2012 and early 2013.Lower interest rates are clearlyencouraging broadly improvinghousing market conditions andhopefully this recent momentumcan continue, especially with firsthome buyer incentives now beingdirected specifically at new constructionacross a number of states.’‘Release more land’, says CollyerIn response to HIA’s report, DavidCollyer, campaign manager forProsper Australia (prosper.org.au), claimed residential land prices‘have been bid up by planning restrictions,excessive debt, rampantspeculation, poor infrastructureand our very bad tax laws.‘The HIA is quite correct tobe agitating about Australia’s lowconstruction levels.‘This is a major employment sectorwhose economic importance isbeing highlighted by Treasury andgovernment as the mining investmentboom recedes.‘[HIA’s] pointing to land prices asthe limiting factor should promptgovernment action to release moreland, spend on transport links andboldly reform the tax system.‘Simply removing stamp dutyand funding this by also removingthe principal place of residence exemptionfrom state land tax wouldtransform the equation for bothbuilders and buyers.‘The economic case for this iswell made by Dr Ken Henry inAustralia’s Future Tax System.

One hopes theycan think of a better namefor the festival than ‘<strong>Byron</strong>ianFalls’ by the time it rollsaround. How about ‘JonesRoad Stumbles’?It’s dangerous driving inour quiet countryside.
