Uncle Harry asked to leave Optus tower opposition grows

Members of the Arakwal Corporation have asked Uncle Harry to leave the campsite next to Council chambers in Mullumbimby. He and his supporters occupied the site from September 3 until last Monday.

Stan Robinson Park at the council chambers in Mullumbimby was the-centre of controversy on the weekend when the Arakwal people gathered to demand that Uncle Harry and others camping in the park leave.

Police and security arrived at Stan Robinson Park at 6am on Monday to enforce the eviction notice and dis-mantle the camp.

By that morning, Uncle Harry and his supporters had vacated the land; however, some protestors had re-mained without camping equipment..

Spokesperson for the Arakwal peo-ple Delta Kay was both angry and distressed as what she sees as and invasion of Arakwal land as well as the media coverage that Uncle Harry has received in his quest for answers regarding the use of the land for the Woolworths development.

‘We are here to let the Mullumbim-by locals know that we want these nutters off this land,’ said Ms Kay.

‘We are the people of this land. Harry Boyd is from Woodenbong. They are breaking lore. You can’t go into other people’s country and light fires and bring in people.’

Ms Kay said that she felt that Uncle Harry and a contingent of random In-digenous and non-indigenous people were pushing a barrow for their own hidden agenda.

Using Woolies to bolster own campaign

She told The Echo that she feels Un-cle Harry is using the Woolworths issue and those involved in other pro-tests against the development to gain tenure in the Arakwal region and to bolster his own campaign to gain cul-tural governance of the area. He wants to be recognised as the true custodian of Arawkal land, according to Ms Kay.

Uncle Harry’s denial of the Arak-wal and Bundjalung is common knowledge to those who have visited the park.

‘I am confused as to who is here for Woolies and who is here for Uncle Harry,’ said Ms Kay.

When asked about the Woolworth’s development, Ms Kay said that it was wrong for anyone to speak on behalf of the whole community. ‘This issue has divided Mullumbimby and Un-cle Harry is just fueling the division. As far as the Arakwal are concerned, there is no cultural significance to the development site. There is nothing buried there nor was it a special place for the Arakwal people.’

About twenty Arakwal people ar-rived at the park on Saturday to ask the campers to leave and they ap-peared again on Sunday.

Ms Kay says that Arakwals will visit the camp every day until Uncle Harry and his mob vacate.

‘We will visit each day,’ said Delta. ‘We cannot stay here 24 hours a day until they go. We have jobs to go to and families to look after, we cannot afford to sit around all day.’

Residents adjacent to the lookout at Ocean Shores have begun to voice their opposition to a proposed Optus Tower destined for the site.

Homes in the vicinity recently re-ceived letters from the council inform-ing them that the tower would replace the 25 metre pole currently on the site and that the existing blackspot equip-ment would be transferred to the new Optus monopole.

Byron Shire Council’s executive manager of planning Ray Darney said the proposed Optus telecommunica-tion tower would replace the existing pole with one 30 metres in height and it would be located approximately 60 metres from the nearest residence.

Health risk and aesthetics concerns

Tina Beattie lives directly below the current tower which is where the proposed replacement will also be in-stalled. Her foremost fear is the health risks created by radiation emitted from the tower.

‘My major concern is for our health,’ she said. ‘Some research shows that

radiation emitted from these types of towers could be genotoxic. This tower is too close to where people are living, it is a serious health concern.’

Another concern Tina has is for the aesthetics of the site. She says that the tower would be five metres taller than the current tower and would have several large ‘branches’ attached to it, similar to the one on Mudges Road in Ocean Shores.‘This lookout is a tourist attraction. The new tower will be an eyesore that will be seen from as far away as Byron Bay.’

Council does not currently have a lease arrangement with Optus for the site at Warrambool Road. Mr Darney said the application will be determined on merit and reported to Council for consideration before any lease arrangements are negotiated with Optus. Council has an existing ten-year licence with Broadcast Aus-tralia Pty Ltd (SBS) at the site, which generates $2,000 per annum.

Mrs Beattie says she intends to pre-sent council with a petition when the matter becomes before them.

For anyone wishing to view the plan, the development application is on exhibition until Wednesday October 6.

Arakwal don’t exist: Uncle Harry

Uncle Harry came out briefly on Sunday to talk to the group and participate in a conversation with the Arakw-als and The Echo.

Ms Kay said that, as spokes-person for the Arakwal corpo-ration, she was advising him that he was not authorised to stay in the park or to speak on behalf of the Arakwal or Bun-djalung or any Indigenous peo-ple in the area and he was not authorised to stay in the park.

Uncle Harry said he was there in a demonstration against Woolworths and for the betterment of all people.

When asked what he thought about the Arakwal and Bund-jalung, Uncle Harry said, ‘They

don’t exist to me.’Arakwal man Brian Kelly

asked Uncle Harry if he would face the Budjalung elders’ council with his opinions and Uncle Harry said he would.

He said that the elders were welcome to visit him whenever they wished, which evoked up-roar from the Arakwals who said that it was not for the elders to visit Harry but the other way around.

They added by saying his lack of knowledge and respect for tribal lore is another reason he should not be on Arakwal land.

Late last week the Byron Shire Council issued an order to the group to cease using the land as a camping ground.

Stan Robinson Park is owned by Byron Shire Council and under the Local Government Act is designated as operational land; it is not Crown Land.

Council asks protesters to leave

Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner said the order required the group to remove all temporary struc-tures from the area.

He said the protest group had originally told Coun-cil they would be protesting for 72 hours over the issue of Woolworths coming to Mul-lumbimby.

‘While the protesters have been peaceful during this time, the 72 hours has been surpassed and the group has given no further indication of when the protest will end,’ said Mr Faulkner.

‘Council did not support the Woolworths development ap-plication nor was it involved in the sale of the land.’

Police visited the site early on Friday to request that the group abide by the eviction no-tice and vacate the site as soon as possible.

Mr Faulkner said that Coun-cil had concerns over hygiene amenities and safety with cars coming and going from the park. ‘There have also been numerous complaints from the community over the use of the park as a camp site,’ he said.

According to the campers, they had been the target of at-tacks recently with children sleeping in one of the vehicles being terrorised by men wear-ing balaclavas and one man receiving an injury to his head in what they say was a barrage of attacks over a two-day pe-riod last week. Members of the group say they felt they were being assaulted and that police were ignoring their plight.

Around five hundred people attended the memorial ser-vice of Jarah Blackett at the Byron Bay YAC last Thursday morning.

Just over a week ago, Jarah, 23, and mates Todd Hepner and Byron Nicholson were tragically killed in a car crash at the junction of the Pacif-ic Highway and Woodford Lane.

Crowds covered the grassy banks outside the YAC, and thankfully the clouds broke for the first sunny day in a week.

Others queued up at the empty coffin in order to in-scribe its lid with messages.

Flags and flares fluttered in the light breeze. The service, a celebration of Jarah’s life, took place inside the hall where a slide-show was presented.

The funeral services for Todd Hepner and Byron Ni-cholson were held privately.

Council’s executive manager of community infrastructure, Phil Holloway, told The Echo Council had endorsed the clo-sure of the Woodford Lane ac-cess and made the request to the RTA in 2007.

When The Echo asked the RTA whether they would close the road, a spokesperson re-sponded that they are inves-tigating whether the closure would improve road safety.

The RTA said it is not aware of any complaints about the safety of the intersection.

A spokesperson for the Min-ister For Roads, David Borger, told The Echo, ‘Without want-ing to pre-empt the findings of the police investigation, the Minister has asked the RTA to review this section of road to determine if road safety im-provements can be made to further enhance road safety.’

Road closure gets run around

A story from a past clientMy mother Netta had been in and out of hospital; her last visit was three months before she died. Whilst in hospital she said to me “I never want to have to be in a hospital again”. I looked at her and answered “OK, you will never have to be”. This was a huge step into the unknown and I had no real knowledge of what I was taking on, but I felt like it would somehow work out. At that moment, something changed in Netta – a fear, a holding on was let go and she felt safe to surrender to the next stage.

The practicalities of keeping that commitment to Netta meant that her doctor had to be on board with this decision and then Byron Hospice Service (then ‘Amitayus’), Feros Home Care and Feros Village in Byron Bay and the community nurses, who were all willing to get involved and help.

We moved my mother into our granny fl at as her condition weakened. Having help from the Byron Hospice Service was very important for our family, giving us short breaks and support, knowing that someone was there to sit with Netta and talk with her, or simply just be there.

It’s been three and a half years since my mother died peacefully and I still feel a very deep bond with the volunteers from Byron Hospice Service who assisted my mother to die in peace, with grace and dignity.

Now the independents have given government to Labor, we are told regional issues are on the radar.

This seems to consist chiefly of farming and broadband con-cerns, but the other problem the feds will have to come to grips with is coastal manage-ment. And despite preliminary reports, the federal Depart-ment of Climate Change (www.climatechange.gov.au) still has a way to go on planning.

The ABC TV program The 7.30 Report highlighted the coastal controversy last week when it told the story of the Strini family’s loss of a devel-opment opportunity because of climate change fears. The Strinis wanted to build eight beachside townhouses at Lakes Entrance in Victoria and had approval from the local coun-cil and the catchment manage-ment authority.

Startling precedentThen an objection was

lodged with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), which is a bit like the NSW Land and Environment Court but covers a broader range of issues.

VCAT overturned the ap-proval, citing dangers of inun-dation in rising sea levels. It

sets a startling precedent for the coastline, and apparently the Strinis have no chance of compensation, despite alleg-edly spending $600,000 on in-terest payments, planning costs and legal fees.

A federal government report, ‘Climate Change Risks to Aus-tralia’s Coast’, last year identified ‘between 157,000 and 247,600 existing residential buildings at risk of inundation with a sea-level rise of 1.1 metres.

‘This analysis included storm tide estimates (for a 1-in-100 year event) for New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania and a high tide event for others.’

Since then, the NSW gov-ernment has adopted coastal management plans – see www.environment.nsw.gov.au/coasts/coastalerosionmgmt.htm – along with putting up the

Coastal Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill which ‘includes amendments to the Local Government Act to allow councils to levy an an-nual coastal protection service charge outside rate pegging.

Councils would be required to levy this charge on land-owners for long-term coastal protection works (eg seawalls), where the works were con-structed by the landowners.’

Last Thursday the Local Government and Shires As-sociations of NSW ‘condition-ally welcomed’ changes to the Coastal Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill, but said a more proactive and long-term strategy is needed to deal with coastal erosion.

Association president Cr Genia McCaffery said, ‘The Coastal Panel now has three

representatives from Local Government, and its charter now gives it the potential to assist councils in addressing complex, contentious coastal planning issues.

The early draft of the Bill gave landowners an unfettered right to repeatedly protect their own properties, with no considera-tion of the longer-tem effects or impacts on their neighbours.’

In May this year Byron Shire Council resolved to adopt its controversial Draft Coastal Zone Management Plan. Ac-cording to Council, the plan at-tracted 654 submissions from 622 people.

How Council’s plan and the state government Bill will mesh is uncertain. It remains to be seen if the interests of resi-dents, environmental protec-tion and infrastructure can be satisfied at all.

As with the Strinis’ experi-ence, the answers most likely lie with the courts’ interpreta-tion of coastal legislation.

In NSW, class 4 actions in the Land and Environment Court to planning approvals in pos-sible inundation areas could be on the cards, and it’s not likely to be a pretty sight.

Developers, councils and residents would all like cer-tainty but in the realm of cli-mate change, certainty is not necessarily an option.

Motorcycle owners in Byron Bay are losing their local bike workshop.

Byron Motorcycle Centre proprietor and bike mechanic Owen Fudge will close his business of three years on Fri-day due to a recurring leg in-jury that has affected his ability to work.

‘I’m planning to get my body fixed and become a domestic engineer, a house dad,’ he said.

‘People are going to have to go elsewhere to get their bikes serviced.’

With no potential buyer to step in and take over the busi-ness, Fudge says his only op-tion is to close his store before he goes broke.

Fudge, who moved from Katherine in the Northern Territory to the Byron Shire five years ago, said the ‘ridicu-lously high’ overheads in By-ron Bay mean his business is not viable unless he can work at full capacity.

He says the closure of his business is a sad sign of the times for the town.

‘Byron has lost another ser-vice and you can’t keep losing

services like this,’ he said. ‘This business could have survived if I had it running in Alston-ville or something. I could have kept it alive.’

While he praises his land-lords as ‘gentlemen’, Fudge says many others need to take a hard look at what rapidly ris-ing commercial and industrial rents are doing to Byron Bay.

‘It’s a hard place to do busi-ness… the landlords are killing the place,’ he said. ‘Landlords

should look at the future of the town and say we need services here to keep people here.’

Byron Bay does have one other motorcycle workshop, Desmo Headquarters, but it specialises in repairing Ducati motorcycles.

Its owner, Arthur Davis, told The Echo he would not be able to service Fudge’s customer base.

‘We’re just a specialist Ducati shop. Ducatis are all I’ve ever

worked on,’ he said.Fudge says he hasn’t ruled

out reopening his business once he is well.

First, however, he’ll be hav-ing a knee reconstruction, spending some time with his kids and, curiously enough, studying to become an ex-plosives expert in the mining industry.

‘I might like to get a job with the other passion in my life: blowing things up,’ he said.

Byron Motorcycle Centre rides into the sunset

David Lovejoy

It started as the election no-body cared about and finished as a fascinating cliffhanger.

In the process we learned a lot about how our constitution works when a minority gov-ernment is on the cards.

Mungo MacCallum’s Punch & Judy: the Double Disillusion Election 2010 takes us through the campaign and its aftermath with the author’s customary wit and readability.

This is the third ‘instant’ election book from Mungo, following Run, Johnny, Run (2004) and Poll Dancing (2007). ‘Instant’ implies no lowering of the author’s high standards, but rather the im-pressively swift publication of these books, once the result of the vote is known.

In the case of Punch & Judy,

the interminable post-election manoeuvring to set up a gov-ernment upset the finely-tuned printing timetable, but it al-lowed the account to end on a dramatic note.

At the launch Mungo was quite rightly lauded for a long career in political journalism that has seen him write for eve-ry major title in the country.

Less well known nationally but arguably just as impressive are his columns for this news-paper, which have appeared every week (with minimum time off for holidays) for more than two decades.

To write a thousand col-umns chronicling the ups and downs of political life in Australia while maintaining such a consistent level of hu-mour, insight and tolerance for the system is a quite an achievement.

Another missile into the political discourse

Two Byron Bay Cubs were presented with Grey Wolf Awards recently, the highest achievement for a Cub Scout in Australia.

Aidan Rajarantnam, ten and a half, and Eliza Gudg-eon, eleven, were required to demonstrate such qualities as leadership, organisation, help-ing others and responsibility in order to qualify.

Since the Award was intro-duced in 2005, the first Byron Bay Cub Pack has had seven cubs awarded a Grey Wolf.

Asked what might account for such a record, Cub Lead-er Bryony Pearson told The Echo, ‘It’s really only in the last couple of years that we’ve had a group of cubs who have really been working toward

those Awards.’ She said that it took Aidan

and Eliza one and half years to work toward their Grey Wolf Awards.

Bryony, who has been Cub Leader for the last four years, says she loves being in the Cubs.

‘I love the cubs and scouts, combining leadership with helping others and learning new skills.

‘Some cubs just come for the games then you find other cubs who love the badge-work.

‘There’s really something for everyone. I’ve been involved as a leader for four years and I learn every day. And we have a lot of fun!’

The Grey Wolf Awards were presented at a Family Hot Pot night at the Scout Hall.

Council has advised that the Brunswick Heads Branch Li-brary will be closed for a fur-ther four weeks until Monday October 18.

The planned renovations are needed to be extended due to asbestos being found in the ceiling, Council’s property manager Trish Kirkland said.

‘As a result, additional time is required to remove the asbes-tos before the renovations can be completed.’

The scheduled $37,000 reno-vation included the building being painted and minor repair work.

The upgraded has been funded under the Federal Gov-ernment’s second round Re-gional and Local Community Infrastructure Program.

Items can be returned to the Mullumbimby, Byron Bay or any other branch of the Rich-mond Tweed Regional Library Network.

Youth Art project openByron Shire’s youth are invit-ed to enter artworks into the Youth Mural Art Project, a competition that aims to pro-mote up and coming young artists.

The project offers a positive graffiti management solution with winning art pieces be-ing showcased on a variety of Council buildings and struc-tures in the Shire.

‘It’s a great way to get your work seen and to also liven up the landscape with art,’ Ange-line Daniels from the Youth Council said.

‘The art focus offers young people a constructive outlet for their creative talents.’

The winning designs will also be made into a set of postcards to further promote young artists.

Workshops will run in the school holidays to offer as-sistance and support at Mul-lumbimby Train Station on Wednesday October 6 and at Brunswick Scout Hall on Thursday October 7.

Prizes include digital cam-eras, iPods and art supply vouchers.

All entries need to be sub-mitted by October 10 and an exhibition of works will be held during National Water Week October 17 to 23.

The project is a joint Coun-cil initiative between Council divisions Community Infra-structure, Society and Culture, and Water and Recycling.

Cancer sufferers who undergo daily exercise have a survival rate which is nothing short of impressive.

This result, according to Barb Pinter from the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group (BBBCSG), is based on an 18-year Harvard study – and given the group’s involve-ment in the impending Byron Lighthouse Run, serves as a timely reminder of the ben-

efits of exercise. The annual run, hosted by

fitness coach and personal trainer Lisa Parkes, will take place on Sunday October 21 – and this will be the third year in which the BBBCSG has been involved.

‘Back in 2008 we held a stall, an information table, at the start/finish line near the peace pole’, Barb told The Echo. ‘This time we’ll be participating as a group with a banner, to raise awareness of breast cancer.’

Every day in Australia 38 women are diagnosed with the disease; one in nine women at some stage of their lives will contract it.

Excercise helps reducing recurrence

‘Early detection and pre-ventative measures are really being pushed now’, Barb said, ‘This is what brings us into the Lighthouse Run in a really positive way. Oncologists are pushing the exercise factor as well. For people who’ve been diagnosed, it’s really important to start exercising – to reduce your chances of a recurrence.’

The actual Run raises funds for various charities, includ-ing the BBBCSG, and, said Barb, ‘you can wander along at your own pace! It’s such an uplifting, gorgeous walk and so beneficial in raising your level of fitness.’

BBBCSG is extremely en-ergetic in its efforts at raising

awareness of breast cancer and has a program leading up to the Lighthouse Run called Pink October 2010 in Byron.

The program includes a Breast Cancer Day event on Saturday October 9, to be held at Railway Park (with Balinese chakra healing ceremony, Moment of Silence and free Zumba class); raffle draw on Friday October 15 of the beau-tiful Alexandra Spyratos zebra painting to be drawn by Mayor Jan Barham; and a World of Women short film festival at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre over the week-end of Saturday October 30.

In addition, IGA at Sun-rise has been very supportive of the group. ‘They have put us in their Community Chest for October, so for every $30 you spend you are given a to-ken (which) converts into the much-needed funds for our group’, said Barb.

Paul Kelly’s song ‘To her door’ pays homage to The Buttery, and this week the Austral-ian Council on Health Care Standards (ACHS) also sang the praise of this worthy in-stitution.

‘Being awarded accredita-tion by ACHS gives funding bodies and the community continued confidence in the high standards of service and delivery the Buttery provides,’ Buttery executive director Bar-ry Evans told The Echo.

Since 1975 The Buttery in Bangalow has been building steadily on its reputation as one of the leading drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres of its kind in the world.

‘We offer a therapeutic com-munity,’ says Mr Evans, ‘resi-dents and staff work together as a community. It’s different

from a rehab centre in that everyone helps each other. It’s a service worthy of support both morally and financially.’ Mr Evans claims 66 communi-ties around Australia and New Zealand apply their own inter-pretation of the same model.

The Buttery recently partici-pated in the auditing process that is a prelude to accredita-tion from the ACHS. The ac-creditation would place The Buttery among Australia’s leading healthcare providers, according to Mr Evans. Other ACHS accredited organisa-tions include Sydney’s St Vin-cent’s Private Hospital and Melbourne’s Peter McCallum Cancer Centre.

‘Funding for the Buttery is around 55-60 per cent from the State government,’ says Mr Evans, ‘while the bulk of the rest comes from the resi-dents in treatment. The pro-

gram can run up to seven and a half months, and 70 per cent contacted after leaving the pro-gram reported being drug and alcohol free and/or demon-strated improvements.’

Over two days, ACHS asses-sors rigorously reviewed the therapeutic program, manage-ment protocols and amenities at the Buttery. At the end the assessors gave a favourable re-port and it is anticipated that formal accreditation will be given in early 2011 after the next ACHS Board Meeting.

‘The Buttery exists to serve people who have made the de-cision to choose a life of recov-ery over a life of addiction. It is a tribute to staff, volunteers and supporters that the Buttery can rightly claim to be among the leading healthcare provid-ers in this field in Australia.’

Comment

Last week I noted that one immediate consequence of the hung parliament

was that all bets were off – eve-rything was up for grabs.

I was referring, of course, to policy; as Julia Gillard point-ed out, circumstances have changed somewhat since she made her election promises.

Even to get through stage A – passage by the House of Representatives – she needs the support of at least four cross-benchers, all of whom have in-sisted that they will treat every piece of legislation on its merits and vote as independents.

The four nominally support-ing her government have also set other terms and conditions which will have implications for policy, most obviously in the field of climate change but in other areas as well. Clearly this will mean compromise and modification on a number of fronts.

And Gillard, by admitting as much last week, was doing no more than stating the obvious. When it comes to Labor’s elec-tion platform, all bets are in-deed off. What I did not mean, or expect, was that the normal processes of parliament would also be abandoned without any serious attempt at explanation or justification.

I assumed, for instance, that written agreements be-tween the parties would be honoured and that the long-standing conventions would be upheld – that decent and civilised behaviour would pre-vail. And for this naiveté and optimism I must now apolo-gise. Tony Abbott’s decision to shred the solemn undertaking he gave to abide by the agenda for parliamentary reform has set a new and dangerous low which may result in the system disintegrating into something perilously close to anarchy.

The reason the rural inde-

pendents insisted that both sides of politics sign the agree-ment before indicating which of them would have their sup-port was precisely to prevent this happening; to lock both government and opposition into the reform process, to make it genuinely bipartisan. It was always obvious that the provision for pairing the speaker would give the gov-ernment an advantage, but this was more than adequately

countered by other provisions which favoured the opposition and the backbenchers.

Overall the package was both sensible and balanced. And of course Abbott has said he will definitely stick with the rest of it – the bits that give him an edge. But on the speaker-ship, the government is on its own.

The proposal by Rob Oake-shott is simple enough: the speaker does not have a delib-erative vote, so by appointing one of its own as speaker, as is the convention, the govern-ment effectively loses one of its numbers, which in a par-liament as tight as the present one can be crucial. The idea was that the opposition should therefore appoint the deputy speaker, who would also for-feit his vote, thereby evening things up.

Oakeshott then confused things by nominating himself for the job, which was unwork-able: as an independent his vote could go with either side,

thus making pairing impossi-ble. But the original idea was perfectly sound: although the opposition started by suggest-ing it would breach the Con-stitution, the Solicitor-General was adamant that it would not; if the parties chose to come to an agreement, it would be per-fectly okay.

Ah, said Tony Abbott, so it would only be an informal arrangement, not written into the legislation; oh dear no, we

couldn’t have that. Matters of governance are far too impor-tant to be left to an informal arrangement. So all bets are off.

But wait a minute. Like many other conventions of government the entire system of pairing, which has been in existence since federation, is an informal arrangement. It is simply a fair and practical means of ensuring that the numbers in the House, which are determined by the elector-ate, remain unaffected when members – either government or opposition – are unavoid-ably absent.

The proposal to extend the arrangement to include the speaker may be an innovation, but it is hardly revolutionary. If Abbott is serious, he must be prepared to abolish the idea of pairing altogether – and in fact, that seems to be precisely the situation.

The new opposition whip, Warren Entsch, says from now on even ministers making overseas trips will not be auto-

matically paired. He will have to be satisfied that the trip is on official business and in the national interest: ‘I guess every case will be treated on its mer-its, and in any case there is a lot of time when the parliament is not sitting.’

True; so will the rest of the world please rearrange things so as to make sure events and meetings that could involve Ju-lia Gillard, Kevin Rudd, Wayne Swan, Stephen Smith and the rest of them only take place while the Australian parlia-ment is in recess.

And as for backbenchers, well, forget it. In the past they have asked for pairs for all sorts of reasons, but now only crises such as serious illness, bereave-ment or childbirth (women only) will qualify. Or that’s the current line from Tony Ab-bott’s ferocious opposition.

In the end it is likely that commonsense will prevail; af-ter all, to have the place run with a modicum of civilisation and decency is as much in the interests of most opposition members as those of the gov-ernment. But Abbott has now made it clear that his lust for power is absolute; he will stop at nothing.

And he is inviting equally brutal payback. Labor’s un-edifying attempt to bribe Alex Somlyay with the deputy speakership in exchange for the same guarantee as has been given by the independents – no support for votes of no confidence or to deny supply – ended in tears after Abbott’s enforcers paid him a visit.

But by throwing the rule book out of the window, Ab-bott has indeed ushered in a new paradigm, which he may live to regret.

By the way, paradigm is an anagram of pig drama. In this context, it seems entirely appropriate.

The Byron Shire Echo Established 1986

Woolworths for Mullumbimby continues to take shape down by the railway. The only visible protest is the construction compa-ny’s fence (enclosing much, much more territory than was neces-sary for the project), which has been festooned with underwear and placards. Security personnel remove the placards as soon as they appear; it is not clear who pulls off most the underwear or indeed who had the clever idea of smearing the garments with brown paint.

Meanwhile the opponents of the opponents continue (with a few honourable exceptions, as in our letters page last week) to conduct their campaign in favour of Woolies in anonymity. The Echo doesn’t print unsigned letters, which prevents us from fully demonstrating certain views. Admittedly most anonymous letters and emails are of the barking-mad variety, but occasionally they contain ideas one assumes are shared by a number of people.

One of the ideas constantly recurring in unsigned emails is that the people who oppose Woolworths are somehow reaping a poetic justice for thwarting Mallams when they proposed a super-market in Station Street in the first place. Having rejected King Log (Mallams) the frogs deserved to get King Stork (Woolies).

But this is a gross distortion. Byron Shire Council refused the DA, but the community opposition was muted, precisely because it was Mallams, a local family company, proposing the develop-ment. When Council turned it down, Mallams were able to get permission from the state government. Most of those who had made submissions against the DA would have accepted the new situation, but Mallams decided they would be better off selling to Woolies rather than undertaking the new project themselves. That was when the serious opposition took off.

But rewrites of history apart, in the absence of any detailed survey nobody really knows which side of the argument is in the majority. As Mandy pointed out in her column a few weeks ago, the divide tends to be between old settlers and new residents or bourgeois/radical, conventional/new age, even footy/emo. These divides are unlikely to be bridged by reason, but Woolies proponents might like to reflect that one unimpeachably conservative source has come out against their business practices.

Last week the Anglican bishop of Bendigo told Christians that if they were concerned about ethical investment they should get rid of Woolworths shares, because the company runs more than 12,000 poker machines, turning millions of dollars of profit on the misery of some of the country’s most disadvantaged families.

We all know by now that Coles and Woolworths dominate the supermarket business and use their duopoly to squeeze farm-ers into barely sustainable prices. At the same time they import food items from overseas, contributing to unnecessary carbon emissions. Their giant presence on the outskirts of many country towns has destroyed main street trading and accelerated the trend towards ‘clone’ towns with little individuality.

But, like the poker machines, these are all legal activities. What the bishop has pointed out is that what is legal is not necessarily ethical. It is legal to manufacture and distribute cigarettes, but few people would care to defend the ethics displayed by Big Tobacco. For the sake of a few cheaper products – and even that is question-able judging by prices at Woolworths in the Bay – some people are looking forward to the opening of the Mullumbimby store.

Well, The Echo does not. Mullumbimby was prosperous before Woolies decided to move in, and if it continues to prosper it will be in spite of the new supermarket. Let’s also keep a sense of perspec-tive: undergarments may upset some delicate sensibilities, but the fence they adorn is a giant symbol of corporate colonisation, a colonisation which is now inevitably part of Mullumbimby’s future.

More on WooliesTo the people that don’t want Woolworths in Mullumbimby, it is simple: don’t shop there or move.

The silent majority wel-comes Woolworths. I am sure if they were to place something on the fences it would be caps or hats, as that is what covers their brains.

The mentality of people hanging undies is quite worry-ing. I would also like Council to clean up the part next to the Council buildings. I support a clean and tidy town.

Knickers and Tidy Towns notwithstanding, it all boils down to one simple fact: Woo-lies are bullies.

Community workOne of the the byproducts (or refuse) of a free and open press are letters like those written by Duncan Shipley-Smith (Echo, September 21). In case we were getting tired of his views on the situation in the middle east, Shipley-Smith thinks it best to mix it up by having a go at Paul Spooner and the team at the Byron Community Centre.

I wonder whether factually DSS’s letters are always so in-accurate?

1. The market has never come close to achieving stall-holder fees of $200,000 per an-num. (Dear reader, if you did

the calculations on the back of an envelope you could work that out.)

2. Depreciation is a non-cash item and is not related to the market. (That is trickier but could be worked out if you, say, Google searched.)

3. The BBCA is both a chari-table institution and a not for profit organisation. DSS makes the Association’s accounts seem like such a secretive and mysterious journey. They just ain’t. Maybe he could call Paul Spooner and arrange to prop-erly meet the accounts.

It could be that Shipley-Smith’s view is tainted by the ‘old’ view of the Byron Com-munity Centre. The Commu-nity Centre has moved rapidly forward in the last few years.

In my view, and this is just my view, we should celebrate the wonderful efforts of Paul Spooner, staff and our amazing volunteers for what they do to assist our community.

Our Community Centre as-sists over 500 people in need a week through social programs such as Emergency Relief, Homeless Drop-in, Food Bank, No Interest Loans Scheme, Community Information and Referral etc. This is done with-out recurring State or Council monies. Money and time are always issues at not for prof-its like our community centre, but I do regret that we haven’t properly informed people like Shipley-Smith of the ‘new’ community centre.

I am sure this letter will be

like a red rag to a bull, and Duncan Shipley-Smith will write back with some negative inaccurate dribble. Before he does that, I hope he takes the time to actually consider what contribution his letters actually make to our community, and then compares his community contribution to the actual work done by the staff and volun-teers at the Byron Community Centre.

The RTA has to take some, if not most of the responsibil-ity. Streets and roads have to be designed in a way that they are also safe to use for L- and P-platers.

Unfortunately the RTA has a literally bloody history on the north coast and has generally only (if at all) learned after fatal crashes.

Most of us will remember the ones at St Helena, the first Brunswick bypass, or the Burr-ingbar Ranges, where about ten years ago 13 people died within a few months. The list could be extended.

Quality of governmentWeirdest thing happened last week – the council and two police officers came to the house next door with a council backhoe to remove a 200 year old Cycad that the neighbour had planted in the nature strip. It looked awesome, however Council decided it was danger-ous, fined my neighbour, and ripped it out and where is it now? The exact same plant and two more big cacti are directly across the road blocking the footpath and a huge umbrella tree next door is 30 feet high.

I’m sick and tired of my mon-ey going towards this type of be-haviour. Maybe Council would

Rezoning challenges at West ByronThe Byron Bay West Landown-ers Association (BBWLA) has commenced planning for the 100 hectare West Byron Ur-ban Release Area. The land is subject to a State Significant Site Study under the auspices of the Department of Planning and Part 3A of the EP&A Act. The landowners state in their July 2010 newsletter that this ‘... will result in the land be-ing rezoned. In the current or future political environment it is unlikely to be refused.’

The Byron Shire commu-nity must clearly get involved to ensure the landowners adhere to the five principles they intend following in plan-ning and developing their land. Four of the principles are ‘motherhood statements’ that may provide some com-fort that economic, social and environmental sustainability and urban design innovation issues are to be considered. The fifth provides an escape if the landowners believe mar-ket and commercial consider-ations outweigh sustainability and innovation or both are beyond their expertise.

Environmental constraints

will have a significant bear-ing but, using urban density targets mandated by the De-partment of Planning, a 100 hectare site could be required to yield 1,500 dwellings. At roughly $50,000 per lot, the $50 to $70 million in subdivi-sion construction costs quoted in the Background Report could suggest the landowners are already thinking of a yield in the order of 1,000 to 1,400 dwellings. Clearly the impact of such a development will be substantial.

If rezoning is accepted as a fait accompli, transparency of process is a fundamental re-quirement.

Two issues immediately come to mind. Firstly, it is im-portant that the community knows who the landowners are, the size of their respective holdings, and how they see themselves working together. Secondly, the community needs to know who is on the consultant team.

Knowing who the landown-ers are might give the commu-nity confidence. More than lip service will be paid to the plan-ning and development prin-

ciples. For example, if profes-sional developers are involved in the Association do they have a track record for innovation and quality or have their previ-ous projects simply replicated development models that have long since reached their use by date.

Even in the most benign circumstances multiple land-owner developments are no-toriously difficult to manage. Combining different levels of landowner expertise, financial capability and land size with physical constraints and con-temporary planning and ur-ban design objectives make the achievement of even a barely satisfactory outcome a major challenge.

The Byron West site and the landowners must, however, transcend these challenges as the community will have to live with the outcome. This could be helped by a formal planning and development agreement between the landowners, the Department of Planning and Council. Planning agreements are now common, even man-dated by the Department and local councils, in Sydney. Such

an agreement must be in place before the Site Study is com-pleted and its content must be developed in consultation with the community.

The consultants involved in Site Studies under Part 3A are paid by the landowners, not the Department of Planning. They therefore have an im-mediate conflict of interest. A recent court case dealing with the professional obligations of consultants to the community and be Acts under which they operate should be a salutary warning to all the consultants involved in Byron West. And are the planning and urban de-sign consultant members right up to date with recent innova-tions and thinking?

Even at this early stage the challenges presented to the Byron Shire community are evident. Byron West could be an example of development for the 21st century or it could be an unmitigated disaster. Let’s hope the landowners fulfil their promise to recognise the existing and future needs and aspirations of the community.

Michael BeasleySuffolk Park

I have lived in this (Byron Bay) area for over 25 years and watched this little coastal vil-lage since 1972 self destruct into a polluting, boozing, drug taking, little shithole of a town. The council has in no way at-tempted to prevent this, past nor present. The whole area, industrial and township, drain into a marine park 24/7 all year round. The town is not a family town, nor user friendly or safe to walk at night. The garbage bins are dangerous to use, the police are hard pressed to pa-trol, and why should they? Not too many people are prepared to work on any of the above problems, least of all the inept council.

I am on the water most days, at Watego’s Beach, and spend around two hours picking up garbage per week. The pippis are back on that beach after five years of sewage overflow. How fast was that repair work by the council? The locals have to sort this out.

Truth neededI did not know Jai Morcom and I don’t know Steve Drummond

but what I do know is strong kids have been bullying weak kids since Cain and Abel.

The school’s ‘Jai who?’ at-titude is so wicked. I find it sickening, and everyone who knows exactly what happened and has said nothing will have to live with their guilt all their life. Maybe when some of the pupils who were there have a child ‘collapse’ at school they will just say ‘pretend it didn’t happen’.

I think the community de-serves the truth but my 64 years of living has taught me it’s the lie that most people love.

Sleepers awake‘Anything that ends wars, un-winnable or not, is in human-ity’s ultimate interest.’ Is this as-sertion by Acting Editor Hans Lovejoy in his editorial last week debatable?

Or – given the irrefutable hu-man and environmental devas-tation of war couterposed by the ‘best-estimate-projection’ that a mere seven per cent of the global military budget would enable fulfilment of the UN’s fantastic Millennium De-velopment Goals (eradicating extreme poverty, ensuring sus-tainability, protecting bio-diver-sity, etc) – is Lovejoy’s assertion irrefutable?

And now, as the US-NATO-Israel alliance clamours for war against Iran (as usual, on false pretexts), threatening the world with the unconscionable spec-tre of WWIII – a war poised

to be fought under the Penta-gon’s space command and us-ing the vast arsenal of nuclear, electrometric and environmen-tal modification weaponry de-ployed world-wide – it is clear that only an informed and vo-cal global civil society would or could avert this world-destroy-ing disaster and safeguard ‘hu-manity’s ultimate interest’.

Mainstream media are deeply engaged in trivialising the threat of nuclear war and repeating the lies and decep-tions that manufacture public consent and participation in the illegal invasions and occu-pations of the sovereign coun-tries targeted in the ‘Pentagon’s Unending War’. To ascertain the truth, we must look to alterna-tive sources. I highly recom-mend the writings of Professor Emeritus Michel Chossudovsky (www.globalresearch.ca) for a harrowing analysis of the global military agenda and the ‘ad-vanced state of readiness’ of the US-NATO-Israel alliance to at-tack Iran.

Here’s hoping for humanity’s empowerment and the awaken-ing of conscience.

Busking in the BayWhat that gentleman who wrote in your last edition about music in our streets and parks late at night needs to under-stand is that not many of our local councillors are members of that club known as Club Sensible. Even though the only prerequisite to join Club Sensi-ble is to have some basic intel-ligence, and an understanding of how things work. It would appear that the councillors in favour of this late night rubbish are members of an alternative club, a club better known as Club Ridiculous.

I think the only way to un-derstand the councillors’ plan to have the noisy type buskers controlling activities on our streets and in our dark parks very late at night is that it is a plan concocted by these mem-bers of Club Ridiculous. This reckless busking trial as high-lighted in a recent edition of this paper, particularly in the summer months, will definite-ly result in an increase in late night drunken parties in our

Cameron Bell, PrincipalKate Brady LLB (Hons)With Integrity & Light

Byron United urges us to support local businesses and yet is opposed to the intro-duction of bi-monthly Byron Markets, fearing that the extra market may draw custom away from businesses in the town. The Byron Market is a local en-terprise, featuring wonderful products from creative, hard- working artisans, who also are trying to make a living and are dependent on our support. The market reflects the community spirit that makes this region so special.

Byron United is in favour of amplified busking in the CBD of Byron, and shows no regard for the residents who are weary of the noisy fallout from such ‘party town’ activities.

Byron United policy, whether

it be on the issue of holiday let-ting, bi-monthly markets or amplified busking, is driven al-ways by the buck, not true com-munity interest. In its desper-ate pursuit of the tourist dollar (which increasingly degrades our town), Byron United forgets that it is the local community that gives year round, consis-tent support to local businesses and contributes significantly, through not inconsiderable rates, to the infrastructure and functioning of this town. In re-turn, we ask that our right to peaceful enjoyment of our com-munity be respected.

Louise AndrewsByron Bay

‘We can no longer rely on our reputation,’ says Sevegne

Newton. That’s right. Because it’s pretty lousy. Now we have to bullshit people to get them to come here.

Just what is our current rep-utation? ‘A nice place once, that Byron Bay.’ The reputation that built the place into a vibrant hub from being a declining ex-industrial town? ‘A lively fun place full of happy, care-free people, everyone smiling, lots of music and street art, no chain stores, not like any-where else, spiritual, beautiful.’ Reputation? Actually, that was reality. Reputation now? ‘Over-developed, unfriendly, expen-sive, and night belongs to the drunks.’

Hey, it’s today’s reality. Over-priced, unfriendly, boring, soulless tourist trap. Slogan?

‘Come to Byron Bay and buy the same stuff you can get anywhere else, but we’re more expensive!’ Look, a unique cultural community drew visi-tors, then got bought out and pushed out. So now we have battered remnants and a beach.

Having killed and eaten the goose that laid the golden eggs, now what? Spin spin spin. In-teresting? Different? Lively? Fun? Original? Just words in the ad campaign, to be ac-companied by the sound of the bottom of a barrel being scraped. Actually, the situation could be reversed, but the same profiteers would suck out the culture’s life and eat its corpse all over again.

streets and parks, and be at-tended by many who are drunk and underage and should be at home.

What is being proposed by these Club Ridiculous coun-cillors shows very poor com-munity leadership indeed, and an appalling lack of respect for our community and its people. Sanctioning free late night en-tertainment for those who have no respect for our community is a disgrace. Shame on you, Councillors.

A MorrowSuffolk Park

As a musician, busker, fifth generation local to Byron Shire and a personal victim of Gerry Gleeson’s tirade on buskers in Byron, I feel duty-bound to re-spond to his comments in last week’s letter to the editor. Also, I feel certain that in writing this letter I am speaking on behalf of the greater busking commu-nity of the shire.

While I respect your rights to freedom of speech, Mr Glee-son, it saddens me that you feel the need to go to such lengths to destroy something that is a major part of Byron Bay’s ‘iconic identity’. Your whole ‘campaign’ is based around negativity, your personal opin-ion and obvious dislike of mu-sic and fun in general.

Most buskers (amplified or not) aren’t out there to ‘party’, as you put it, Mr Gleeson. Sure we want to have a good time doing what we love but at the end of the day we are a business just like you, trying to make some money to get by and create a meaningful experience for the people of Byron, tourists and locals alike. The vast major-ity of the buskers in town play positive music that people can relate to. If you had taken a look around you on the times you’ve approached us, you would have seen the smiles on the audienc-

es’ faces! Why would you want to stop that joy?

A big part of our audiences often are families (perhaps even guests of yours?), and they always seem really excited to have some form of free en-tertainment for themselves and the kids outside the pubs.

When we busk we are cer-tainly not ‘unsupervised’. The police are always out and about, checking our licences and making sure everything is calm. They have told us how much of a difference we make to the atmosphere on the street, that we create a happier, safer vibe and that there are less fights and trouble while we play. The mayor herself has even commented on how great the vibe on the street is when the amplified buskers are around, and how much she en-joys the street performances.

General street noise levels can get pretty loud on their own, as anyone who has been in Byron on a busy night knows. Surely upon purchasing your business you took into account the loca-tion of what you were buying. This is Byron Bay after all, one of the most popular and unique places in the world for people to come and enjoy themselves! It seems your idea of ‘partying’, Mr Gleeson, is other people’s way of describing having fun.

So, instead of going against the grain on this, how about finding ways of working to-gether to achieve an agreeable and optimistic solution? How about we start trying to look at the positives?

Defending PalestineGeorge Franco (Letters, Sep-tember 21), imagine for a mo-ment a third party gives away your country to a people who have never lived there, who then displace and/or mur-

der your family and friends through acts of genocide, de-stroy your house and farm, force you to live under canvas with no fresh water or sanita-tion; deny you education, hos-pital access and the right to return to your birthplace.

Imagine this usurper pos-sesses the most advanced weaponry on the planet, is funded and supported by the world’s only superpower and operates with immunity from accepted international law, norms of morality and human decency. Would you resist? The Indians, South Africans, French, Northern Irish, all re-belled against oppressive colo-nialism often violently, always relentlessly.

However, the one tool most effective in South Africa was not the gun or the bomb. It was the boycott, divestment and sanction movement now gaining momentum worldwide against Israel’s illegal occupa-tion of Palestine. Trade unions in Britain and Australia and the Australian National Coun-cil of Churches have joined the boycott. Harvard University has divested. Artists Against Apartheid including Massive Attack and Roger Waters, Is-raeli actors and professors mo-tivated by conscience and an innate revulsion for injustice are saying no.

While armed resistance from within may be ineffec-tive, economic resistance from without is gaining uncontrol-lable momentum: http://bds-movement.net.

Duncan Shipley-SmithByron Bay

You are correct, George Franco, I am an unpaid de-fender of Gazabut the rest of your letter is wrong.

When I wrote ‘Firing rock-ets at civilians is reprehensible but so is ethnic cleansing!’, I

was clearly not endorsing the firing of rockets at civilians; reprehensible means ‘deserv-ing rebuke or censure’. Fortu-nately there are courageous Jews, sometimes ostracised by their friends and families and even imprisoned, who dare to criticise the Israeli govern-ment’s gross violations of in-ternational humanitarian law. Unfortunately, you are not in their company.

Prize-winning Jewish jour-nalist Amira Hass, arrested and detained by the Israel De-fence Force, writes (Haaretz, 9/7/2010):

‘The Israeli media prescribes a strict low-information, low-

truth diet for its consumers ... It does not boast of our achievements: the slain chil-dren and the bodies rotting under the ruins, the wounded who bleed to death because our soldiers shoot at the am-bulance crews, the little girls whose legs were amputated due to horrible wounds caused by various types of weaponry, the devastated fathers shed-ding bitter tears, the residential neighborhoods that have been obliterated, the terrible burns caused by white phosphorus, and the mini-transfer – the tens of thousands of people who have been expelled from their homes, and are still being

expelled at this very minute, ordered to cram into a built-up area that is constantly grow-ing smaller and is also under sentence of incessant bomb-ing and shelling ... In the 1990s, Israel had a chance to prove that 1948 is not its paradigm. But it missed this opportunity. Instead, it merely perfected its techniques for robbing land and expelling people from their houses, and forced the Palestinians into isolated en-claves. And now, during these dark days, Israel is proving that 1948 never ended.’

Crs respond to pecuniary interest and zoning issues Mr. Pugh is entitled to his

views (Echo, September 14 and 21) be they accurate or not. However it’s of concern to see The Echo, who promotes itself as independent, again pub-lishing such defamatory and inflammatory letters without checking to see if they are fac-tual or allowing the accused a counter point in the same space. Rather they rely on the accused to respond at a later date if they can. If they don’t lazy journalism prevails, mud sticks and natural justice goes wanting.

I have consulted widely and am confident I do not have a ‘pecuniary interest’ as alleged by Mr Pugh. A ‘non pecuniary less than significant interest’ maybe, which when declared still allows one to vote. The difference between the two is significant and goes to the heart of Mr Pugh’s serious al-legations.

And ironically for some-one who represents an envi-ronmental view, writing such alarmist letters to the press alleging pecuniary interests is the worst possible message Mr Pugh could send to the hun-dreds of property owners who are stewards of native vegeta-tion in our Shire and trying to do the right thing.

A simple question by either Mr Pugh or The Echo would have provided an informed view, which would have reas-sured landholders, not scared them.

As a Councillor I try to make decisions based on facts, not fear or favour, and this means a lot more homework and time, which within the constraints of local government is frustrat-ing. I’m also focussed on the broader public good, which is considerably under threat by Mr Pugh’s public allegations. To explain in detail would be

to threaten what many of us are trying to achieve.

Cr Patrick MorriseyGoonengerry

Dailan Pugh’s recent letters have left me puzzled as it has been Cr Morrisey and I who have been active in having the CEA suggestions assessed. A report to the Strategic Planning Committee (23/9) contains a series of recommendations flowing from these assess-ments as well as measures that I put forward earlier this year. Recommendations include E2 environmental protection zoning for old growth and long term flying fox camps. Water and biodiversity clauses have been drafted to protect more riparian areas and fragmented Endangered Ecological Com-munities (EECs) not previous-ly mapped as HCV (High Con-servation Value). Many areas are proposed to retain E2 zon-

ing including HCV on council and crown land and shorebird areas outside National Parks and Waterway zonings. The list goes on.

Dailan misrepresents the purpose of an assessment made by a Council ecologist of a por-tion of vegetation on my prop-erty earlier this year. The only thing being tested was Council’s vegetation mapping, which is acknowledged to be only 68 per cent accurate. This was part of a series of case studies aimed at ground truthing Council’s sys-tems. Nor is it correct to say that this assessment was the basis of the staff recommendation for E3 zoning of HCV vegetation in the Draft LEP on land cur-rently zoned rural (1a, 1b, 1c). This was driven by land use is-sues, particularly an ability to continue agricultural uses. For the record, my property was not assessed on this basis as Dailan claims.

Pecuniary interests are a highly relevant issue and Dai-lan refers to numerous sec-tions of the Local Govern-ment Act (LGA) to make his case, but still repeatedly gets it wrong. 1. He misstates the test for a pecuniary interest. 2. He fails to distinguish between a pecuniary and a non-pecuni-ary interest. 3. A ‘proprietary interest’ on its own is not a pecuniary interest and cannot be the basis of a requirement to take no part in decision making.

For clarity, a pecuniary in-terest arises where there is a ‘reasonable likelihood or ex-pectation of appreciable finan-cial gain or loss’ (s 442, LGA).

Dailan missed a far more significant point. Eight of nine Councillors are landowners within the Shire. This raises significant questions about how we manage pecuniary in-terests during development of

our most important planning document.

These questions were dis-cussed at a Strategic Planning Committee (23/9) in response to correspondence from the Department of Local Govern-ment advising Councillors to seek exemptions under s458 when considering the Draft LEP. There are practical rea-sons why this should occur. If pecuniary interests can be said to crystallise during the draft-ing process or when discussing technical issues, then it is not an unlikely scenario that eight of nine Councillors would have to absent themselves, completely frustrating attempts to move the draft forward. Residents can take heart from the wise deci-sion of Council to defer further consideration of the Draft LEP until applications for exemp-tions have been determined.

The walls are up, the roof

is on, the solar panels

are in place and the staff

at the revitalised Byron Region

Community College are ready for

their big opening on October 6

and they want everyone to come

and enjoy this great new facility.

Director Richard Vinycomb is fit

to burst he is so pleased with the

project and so excited to see the

building officially open.

One of the unique features of the

college is that every conceivable

energy saving option has been

used in the make-up of the

buildings, and wherever possible,

the environmental footprint has

been considered.

‘We are not only solar active,’ says

Richard. ‘We are solar passive. We

have used natural light in any way we

could to save using any power at all.’

Architect Mark Halford says that

environmental options were in

the forefront when designing

the upgrade. Mark says that the

process of creating the new

space began with a briefing by

BRCC requiring a creative and

flexible development of the site

incorporating environmentally

sustainable elements where

possible.

He also says that the biggest

design challenge was breathing

aesthetic life into the site – the

existing two storey administration

building and workshop was

conceived on sterile State

Electricity Commission drawing

boards. ‘The buildings were sound,’

says Mark. ‘They incorporated a

steel portal frame construction

combined with two metre high

flood resistant lower floor concrete

walls and timber framed asbestos

clad upper walls and roofs.’

At a cost of 1.7 million dollars,

the work included two new

structures, a two storey

building in the vacant

south east corner of the

site including a large

office upstairs and lock up

parking below and a large

alfresco, translucent roofed

area in the vacant northern

area of the site between

the existing incubators’

buildings. These structures

building sequence

encompassing what

has become a large internal

courtyard. ‘I could see this

courtyard providing a unique

community space for future

events as the common room

kitchen and bathrooms open

onto this area and the new

exhibition spaces,’ says Mark.

‘The classrooms and verandah

of the refurbished workshop

also flow seamlessly into the

courtyard area.’

The main building also has the

luxury of the multifunctional

large studio that can be used as

an arena for live performance,

multimedia and visual art

productions, but is also has a

flexible internal spatial division

created by large articulated walls

that can be folded away to turn

one large harmonious space into

smaller individual spaces.

Though the finished project is

aesthetically pleasing, it is the

application of environmentally

sustainable elements in the design

that deserve the most applause.

The extensive use of

photovoltaic cells – 30kW –

on the roofs of the two large

existing buildings is feeding

power into the grid. Energy

efficient LED and fluorescent

lighting are used extensively

and the use of natural lighting

has been optimised.

A highlight of the facility is that

natural ventilation – via awning

hung windows, louvre windows,

stacking doors and the unique

‘Cardiff Air’ extraction fan

cooling system installed in the

refurbished workshop building,

requires minimal electricity

consumption.

Visitors to the college will

see many of these features

signposted through the

development. ‘The community

has benefited from the

excellent local cooperation and

the work of all

concerned,’ says Mark. ‘This

cooperation has facilitated the

creation of an excellent, high

quality, high value community

asset. This is a very positive

outcome for the Byron Shire.’

The official opening is on

Wednesday October 6 from

10am to 12pm and all are

welcome. ‘I want people to

feel that the college is open to

everyone,’ says Richard. ‘If people

can’t make it to the opening, we

would love them to come and

make another time to have a

look around.’

The recent extensive

renovations have been mainly

funded by the Australian

Government’s Department

of Education Employment

and Workplace Relations with

contributions from Byron

Shire Council, Northern Rivers

Renewable Energy, Community

Learning Innovations Centre

and Byron College itself.

Articles

Indonesia’s animals and plants are fast approaching extinc-tion. Byron Bay families are helping protect tigers and el-ephants in Sumatra, orangu-tans in Kalimantan, hatching turtle eggs on the coast, and protecting endangered bird habitats.

Indonesia has the most spec-tacular wildlife and plantlife, most of which exist in scattered National Parks and protected reserves. The plight of orang-utans, elephants, rhinoceros, gibbon, turtles, wildcats, tigers, birds and all the other animals has motivated a group of con-servationists from Byron Bay to help protect them.

The conservation group in-cludes vets, environmentalists, teachers, doctors, engineers and students. They have es-tablished a foundation for the huge task, Save Indonesian En-dangered Species fund (SIES), and they also now part-own five ecolodges: Rimba Orang-utan Ecolodge, Satwa Ele-phant Ecolodge, Bajo Komodo Ecolodge, Kelimutu Crater Lakes Ecolodge, and Udayana Kingfisher Ecolodge.

Newrybar veterinarian Claire Oelrichs is the conserva-tion project coordinator. Claire also guides ecotours introduc-ing guests to the conserva-tion projects and manages the Foundation.

Local environmental engi-neer and SIES treasurer Rich-ard Hagley explains, ‘SIES seeks out local Indonesian conservationists and supports and empowers their ideas and efforts through educa-tion, project support and eco-tourism. It has been a highly

successful formula, with easy cross-cultural relationships and faithful financial manage-ment. It seems there are many Indonesian conservationists who flourish with ideas, com-mittment and energy if they are noticed and supported.’

Twice a year Claire guides ecotours and visits every proj-ect to discuss progress and manage funds. Ecotour safaris are very private with four to 12 guests benefitting from inclu-sion in conservation discus-sions. Every day the tour group goes on safari in the parks for wild animal viewing and vis-its project sites. Children and older people are welcome and encouraged.

After working as a vet for 25 years, Claire changed direc-tion in 2002, when she went on safari to Indonesia to see the orangutans. It diverted Claire’s professional career and she be-came committed to assisting Indonesian wildlife.

‘The experience of seeing the wild orangutans was extraordi-nary and I felt there was much that I could do,’ she says. ‘The friendly locals and people in authority are open to conserva-tion and ecotourism projects.’

Richard agrees. ‘The wild places could be lost altogether without international attention

and forest-friendly income for villagers. Everyone loves a sa-fari yet tourism to Indonesian national parks is relativley un-known in Australia.”

The foundation started with Sakura, the baby elephant who was dramatically rescued from a well in which she had been entombed for two weeks or more. The park rangers asked for help to close the wells. The story, ‘Pits of despair’, ran in The Sydney Morning Herald in 2008, bringing support and dollars, and the fund was born. The fund has employed local villagers for the last two and a half years and more than 2,000 wells have been filled.

‘Elephants, tigers and rhi-noceroses have been dying in these wells since the park was created in the 1980s. We have brought an end to it. It is so satisfying to have this success-ful outcome,’ said Claire.

According to Ross Krippner, fireman and property inves-tor, whose young family has enjoyed the safaris, ‘Our new focus is to help the Kerinci-Seblat tiger corridor, which is frequented by 12 to 16 tigers – a significant number for such an endangered species. The cor-ridor is under threat of defor-estation and is being overrun by human habitation. We are committed to building safari ecotourism to the area to help protect the tigers, while also assisting the community.’

‘Ecotourism safaris are a win-win for everyone,’ said Claire. ‘The guests have an op-portunity to see an amazing range of rare, wild animals and meet the most committed local people. Most guests respond by saying “I was amazed to see so much wildlife and also fell in love with the people!”

Haymans Electrical & Data Suppliers open new outlet in Byron BayHaymans Electrical & Data Suppliers have been servicing the Byron Shire for more than 10 years. Haymans has now expanded, relocating to a new outlet in Byron Bay at 1/52 Centennial Circuit and at the same time opening a bulk outlet at 19 Towers Drive in the Mullumbimby Industrial Estate.

Manager Paul McDonald says, “the support of the local community over the last 10 years has been fantastic. Now we have taken the step of making significant investment back into our business to increase our level of service to the Byron Shire. We don’t class ourselves as a sales outlet – rather a solutions centre where we can get the job done for you from start to finish.

During the time Haymans has been operating in Byron Bay, they have contributed many thousands of dollars of support back into the area ensuring money stays in the local community. Local organisations that have benefited from Haymans Electrical include Byron Bay Red Devils RLFC, Mullumbimby Giants RLFC, Byron Bay Rams Soccer, Bangalow Rugby, Byron Bay Scouts, Brunswick SLSC, Bay FM, Byron United, Our Kids, Mullum Pro-Am, LADS, Tweed Coast Tigers AFL, various motorcross riders, local church groups, local community centres, child care centres, Aussie Rules and junior soccer. A lot of people also don’t know that Haymans is a family-owned company. Unsurprisingly, their values are family-based as well.

Haymans Byron Bay and Mullumbimby are your one-stop supplier of quality solar requirements and you can rest easy, knowing your local electrician can complete your project with a quality solar installation.

Paul says “Solar and wind is a way of the future for energy production and the return on investment for solar is substantial in NSW.

“We are finding that more customers are hesitant to contact an unproven provider from outside the area to meet their solar requirements. We have a great option that is not only locally designed and warranted, but will return more for your investment in the long term”. With increases in electricity prices already here, now is the time to think about options to reduce or eliminate your power bill and at the same time do something proactive for the environment. To find out more, drop into one of our two outlets.

Haymans Byron Bay and Mullumbimby is also a leader in energy-efficient lighting options, including LED, halogen energy saving and fluorescent. We also distribute lighting control whereby you can operate your existing lighting at a reduced percentage, saving you power. We also have options for energy auditing for home or business that can identify your power usage areas and then offer ways to greatly reduce your power usage.

Haymans also offer Lamp Recycling as a part of their service. For a small cost, your old lamps will be recycled locally via the only approved, environmentally safe process in Australia and your lamps are 100% recycled – preventing landfill. You can also be assured that the mercury contained in some lamps will be recycled safely as well.

If you don’t know what Haymans can do for you, drop in to see the friendly and experienced team at Byron Bay or Mullumbimby and start asking questions.

Letters

I am of the opinion that the letter penned by Michael Hayman (Echo, September 21) is intended to incite support for a new Byron Bay library. However, I will ‘bite the bait’ in support of a real library – as opposed to a library on a ‘small device’.

Dare I state the obvious – I dare. How fortunate for Mi-chael Hayman that he knows exactly what he desires to read, how to obtain the books he desires from the internet and can afford, not only the

expensive ‘small device’, but also the cost of the thousands of downloaded books – more than ‘our local library could possibly house’.

According to Michael Hay-man a modern library needs only a ‘couple of chairs and tables with screens’.

Obviously Michael has never visited the new Surry Hills library which accom-modates more than ‘a couple’ but has found the dozens of tables, chairs and screens to be inadequate to meet the need.

Of course, a modern library should have computers and internet access. However, no ‘small device’ can replace a real library that lures the li-brary user into learning.

No ‘small device’ can replace wandering down corridors of books to, by chance encoun-ter, discover a book of previ-ously unknown subject. View-ing a ‘small device’ cannot be compared with, or replace, the pleasure of sitting comfortably in a chair and losing oneself in a ‘hard copy’ book. Reading

the printed word is far more relaxing than reading a glaring screen; especially on a ‘small device’.

Tell me, Michael, how impressive is a copy of the Lindisfarne Gospels on your ‘small device’? Does it inspire you to take a trip to Holy Island?

If the letter by Michael Hay-man is not meant to be a witty support for a new Byron Bay library, then the thousands of books on his ‘small device’ must be comic books. Accord-

ing to the view expressed by Michael Hayman, the citizens of Byron Bay do not need a library because he has a ‘small device’ that caters to all his li-brary needs. If Michael Hay-man is serious – which I doubt – the opinion he expressed in-dicates a rather self-centred attitude that is not Byronian.

Morgan MorganByron Bay

Michael Hayman is in very good company when he an-ticipates the end of paper

books, replaced by various e-devices. He can join hands in a big circle with all the other duffers who predicted in the 1980s that the paperless office was soon to be with us; that credit cards would soon lead to the cashless society; that the efficiencies of the computer in industry would soon lead to a 25-30 hour working week as the norm.

And I am still waiting for my Roger Ramjet backpack to turn up and replace my car, bike and legs. There have been many transformational inven-tions, especially in the past 300 years of the Industrial and Post-Industrial revolutions, but only the foolishly brave try to define consequences before they emerge. And usually, the more extreme predictions turn out to be way off.

Michael simply fails to grasp the purposes of a good library; for many library users it is not wholly, or even pri-marily, about books, papers, magazines, discs etc. A library is a social hub for readers in all fields at all levels, a hub where information is sought, offered and exchanged; where readers can discuss what they’ve read and pick up tips about what they might like to read next; where students can study and be assisted by professional li-brarians.

Reading might generally be a solitary activity, but for many of us it has a vital social side to it which expands our reading choices, our knowl-edge and – dare I say it – may help impart such wisdom as we end up with.

I am in Byron Library almost every weekday, sometimes for half an hour, sometimes a couple of hours. Contact with librarians (great people: they read books themselves and talk to readers about many, many others, and I tap into that knowledge) is always a part of my day’s business. For me and lots of others our local library and its staff are a vital community asset.

The paper-printed word will be with us for a long, long time, I hope and suspect, and so with the libraries that have evolved to make them avail-able in communities all over this planet over centuries.

I shall follow Michael’s ex-ample and be foolishly brave: e-books simply won’t cut the mustard as a universal re-placement for paper books, but will be a useful mode of some of the reading of some of the people for some of the time.

So let’s have our new, en-larged and better equipped library as soon as possible, equipped for both the paper-printed word and the elec-tronic version. It will be well utilised in this community.

Environmental scientist and author David Suzuki will re-turn to the Byron Shire at the end of October as part of a whistlestop tour of Austral-ian cities to promote his latest book, The Legacy.

The Legacy is described as a distillation of the wisdom and experience of Suzuki’s long and passionate love affair with Planet Earth and as his legacy for generations to come.

In his lifetime, David Suzuki has witnessed an explosion of scientific knowledge as well as a huge change in our relation-ship with the planet: a tripling of the world’s population, a greatly increased ecological footprint through the global economy and a huge growth in technological capacity.

In The Legacy, Suzuki ex-plains how we arrived at where we are today, and presents his vision for a better future. He will speak to this topic when he appears at the A&I Hall in Bangalow on Wednesday Oc-

tober 27 at 7pm.Described by Tim Flannery

as ‘the greatest environmental-ist of our age’, David Suzuki needs no introduction to the Northern Rivers region, where his work is widely recognised.

An internationally re-nowned scientist, environ-

mentalist and broadcaster, Suzuki has inspired countless Australians into positive action over a period of more than 20 years spent visiting Australia, a country he refers to as his second love.

David Suzuki’s two previ-ous visits to our region were

sellout events and bookings for this special event are es-sential. Tickets are $15 and are available from the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre on 6685 5115 or SCU Co-Op Bookshop 6621 4484.

SOLAR HOT WATER

Time to take notice of the snails’ alarm signalsStory & photo Mary Gardner

Who always has a soft body covered with a mantle and often, but not always, a hard exterior? With a single flat foot and a mouth full of chainsaw teeth? Who has green blood full of copper? A net of nerve cells with a row of some knot-ted together into clumps? Op-tional extras are either lungs or gills or being of one sex or another or both. Size? From microscopic to thirteen metres.

Preposterous as it seems, for 570 million years, in the sea, in fresh water and on land, these are mollusks. Their many forms are all variations of the basic body plan. As limpets, they have a single shell like a china-man’s hat. As clams, oysters, mussels and such, they have two. Being chitons, they live under a set of plates hooked together like chain mail. The squid and cuttlefish forms have a remnant of a shell shaped like a supporting rod which they carry it inside themselves. As octopuses, they have no shells or remnants at all.

Shells and usFinally, with bodies twisted

180 degrees and tapered to fit into their single coiled shell, they are snails. Surely at some moment in your life, you paid special attention to a snail? Or perhaps it was a snail’s shell?

Snail shells always mean something to humans. Cowry snail shells, threaded together into belts or woven into bas-kets, speak of wealth. They were used as trade goods from as long ago as 3000 BC, sourced from the Maldives. The shells became the standard currency for Africa, India and

China. They were legal tender throughout the Middle East and in Europe. In parts of the world, they were used right into the mid 20th century.

Sex changesFor centuries, science work-

ers and teachers have dissected marine snails, counted them on shores throughout the world and observed their lifestyles. Although all snails on land are hermaphrodites, many marine snails have separate sexes. So in 1970-71, when researchers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean reported an alarming change in females, everyone looked again to their snails.

Suddenly, adult female snails grew penises. This blocked the passageway used for the release of eggs. But the females did not become functional males. With their females sterilised, these snail populations died out.

By 1975, the entire southern coast of the UK reported a rapid decline of its dog whelk snails. This was directly related to imposex, as the deformity was called. In Arcachon Bay, France, imposex wiped out the

snails that drilled into com-mercial oysters. But the shells of the oysters themselves be-came deformed, their flat shape changing into very thick balls. In 1976, the oyster larvae did not survive. By 1980, the oyster fishery collapsed.

Not till 1986 was the cause traced to the use of organtins in antifouling paint on boats and fish cages. The persistence of tributyltin (TBT) in the sedi-ments was finally understood in the 1990s. France, Japan, the US and several other countries limited the use of the biocide, but this did not halt contami-nation. The pollutant recog-nized no boundaries.

Toxic inputBy 1998, the International

Maritime Organisation legis-lated a mandatory global ban on the use of TBT on any craft after 2008. In 2009, a Japanese research team found female flounder larvae were becom-ing masculinised. This was the first report of a proven effect of TBT on a vertebrate animal.

From first alarm to global ban, 38 long years passed. All

the while, the seas and their sed-iments continued to receive this toxic pollutant. Like an ocean liner at full steam changing di-rection, our global response was slow. The full repercussions of our ignorance and delay are not yet upon us.

Though they make no sound, marine snails now raise a new alarm. The small snails known as pteropods have flaps on both sides of their single foot. They use these to swim through their home, the open seas of the cold Southern Ocean. Un-der certain conditions, they re-place krill as the major food for many other species from small fish to great whales. But their delicate living shells are falling apart at the edges.

This prompted Austra-lian science workers to comb through Antarctic data assem-bled over the past ten years. In 2008, they announced the col-lective weight of shells of one pteropod species has indeed declined. Another species sim-ply does not appear as often anymore.

CO2 impactThis time, the cause is al-

ready known. The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmo-sphere continues to be ab-sorbed by oceans around the world but not without con-sequences. The chemistry of the sea is being changed. As it becomes more acidic, it also holds less dissolved carbonate ions in solution. It is these car-bonate particles that snails use to build their shells.

The edge of its mantle, filled with nerves, matches the grow-ing edge of its shell. The nerves ‘read’ the pattern of the shell created to date, both the white

carbonate part and the colours which are proteins. They then instruct the cells in the man-tle to secrete the next row of carbonate and proteins as re-quired by the pattern unique to its species. If the carbonate is missing, what can be built? Living in acidic waters, how to keep whatever’s made from dissolving?

The last time we ‘heard’ snails, we took forty years to re-spond. Facing climate change, we humans have choices: en-ergy savings, renewable energy, alternative lifestyles and more. Now, how quickly will we act?

GREAT VALUE!

Ten tips for sustainable housingWhether you are building, buying or renovating, here are ten tips to consider with creating a more sustainable home.1. Water conservation. Use water efficient appliances and fittings, such as

3-star (or more) showerheads and water pressure-limiting devices, and include a rainwater tank to supply water for use with gardens, toilets and laundry.

2. Natural heating and cooling (passive solar design). Good passive solar design allows your home to respond to its local climate through natural heating in winter and cooling in summer eg. good orientation and room zoning, capturing breezes for cross-ventilation, appropriate insulation, shading (eg. sufficient eaves), building materials (lightweight construction/thermal mass), and fixtures and finishes (eg. skylights and window treatment). Incorporation of passive design reduces the need to rely on air conditioners/heaters. It can also indirectly promote natural daylighting and improve indoor air quality with circulating breezes providing fresh air inside the home.

3. Energy and greenhouse efficient water heating. Install a solar, natural gas or electric heat pump hot water system to lower energy bills and reduce the single largest source of greenhouse emissions in the household.

4. Future-proof. The living area and at least one bedroom and toilet on the entry level should be readily accessible from the front boundary or car space to accommodate your changing housing needs as you get older.

5. Safe floors. Design floors and showers to be step-free (hobless). Use floor surfaces that are slip resistant to guard against injuries.

6. Address the street. An easy-to-read house number at the front of your property makes it easy to find. Good external lighting and separated driveway and pedestrian entries also make it safer.

7. Casual surveillance. Design your home to have easy surveillance to play areas and the street from the main living area and kitchen for better security.

8. Long-term maintenance. Reduce the repair and ongoing maintenance costs of your home by using low maintenance materials.

OUT THEREGiant bromeliads have become my passion lately – no care, structural, big and colourful! They are so dramatic and most of them love full sun, making them an ideal feature plant in any situation. The biggest grow to 2.5 metres while most are about 1.5 to 2 metres, so you can imagine their impact. Flowers last for twelve months and will stand to about 3 metres with some being perfumed – spectacular! For those that worry about the mozzies with broms, try sprinkling coffee grounds around or, as some of my collectors have suggested, a couple of drops of Dettol. I am so obsessed by broms I even do paintings of them in my spare time. So come and have a look while I have such a full range of different varieties. HAPPY GARDENING!

Blues and Roots Man ASH GRUNWALD

plays the Hotel Great Northern this

Friday; he’s also a featured artist at

Bellingen Global Carnival this long

weekend.

It’s his Hot Mama Vibes Album tour, and if the live gig is anywhere near as good as this album, then Ash is going to be cooking.

Ash Hot Mama Vibes is a wonderful album. I don’t

know – it’s kind of Sly & the Family Stonish funkier

than I expected; how do you describe it? Yep well it does seem to be a bit funkier in places than my past stuff. It’s more just me exploring different elements of whats going round in my head. A lot of what I write these days comes from the beat first. Singing and guitar usually spill out pretty naturally in the studio so I just tend to go where the beat takes me. I really relaxed with this album and let it happen.

Why did you mix electronica with blues...weren’t

you worried that it all could have gone horribly

wrong, like mixing chocolate with bananas...hang

on, that works... Well that’s probably why I took it

slowly. My first album was straight blues and it took

another four to get where I am now. I love electronic

instruments just as I love my old National steel guitar.

I’ve always gotten a kick out of combining the really

old with the really new. Like in Raw; it’s got chain gang

sounds on top of a hip hop beat with an attempted

sinister guitar riff. I hate the thought that if you’re

playing bluesy stuff you can’t draw from now and mix

it up.

So tell me about Hot Mama? It’s just a little comedy

song really. Bit of fun. It all came from that chorus.

That’s one I’ve been kicking around for a long time.

Do you think you’re more comfortable with

yourself as a person and as a musician now than

when you first started? I think so. I feel like I can do

what I want musically because I’ve reached my goal

of finding my own sound. As a person I probably feel

less sure of myself the older I get for some reason. I’m

hoping that’s a good thing.

What are you prepared to do now creatively that

frightened you a decade ago? What I’m doing now.

Violating Genre boundries.

Tell me a little about the recording process... where,

how long, what did you go in there wanting to

achieve? It was recorded over a period of six months.

Most of the intital jams were done over email. Actually

that was for the half of the album with the hip hop

producers. The other half came from two days’ jamming

with the band in Brizzy and another two weeks turning

those jams into real songs. With the band stuff I just

wanted to have fun and see if we could lay down some

building blocks. I knew the tough bit was going to be

turning something from a fun jam with potential into a

real song, but I love that process too.

Understanding the Method

With three critically acclaimed albums to their name and hundreds

of gigs under their belt, roots/rock duo Method are back in the

saddle over the next few weeks with a string of shows across the

North Coast. Guitarist Bill Jacobi is a popular solo performer in

and around Byron with open tuned and lap slide guitars twisting

their way around songs that are both evocative and powerful. He

is joined by Frank Corby, who was most recently seen pounding

the skins behind legendary blues band The Bondi Cigars. Frank is

also a notable songwriter in his own right, adding a rich tapestry

of rhythm and texture as well as his dark vocals to the mix.

Together they make music that is an eclectic amalgamation of

swamp/roots, alt. county and hillbilly funk, that somehow looks

back at a wealth of musical tradition and then turn and runs the

other way. You can catch them at The Beach Hotel on Thursday

night and at The Eltham Hotel on Friday.

Amy’s gig

Amy Meredith’s Young At Heart has sent fans into an online

frenzy. The band released their debut album Restless last week,

where it debuted on the national ARIA charts at #8, following

Lying smashing into the Top Ten of the ARIA singles chart. They

will soon be supporting Aussie rockers Grinspoon around the

country, before heading out as headliners on their own tour to

take their tunes to the masses. Off the back of the two smash hit

singles, Lying and Pornstar, Restless has been backed up with live

appearances on ‘Hey Hey It’s Saturday’, the State of Origin, and

‘Sunrise’, followed by gigs from Perth to Brisbane and everywhere

in between. The band have toured non-stop for the past 12

months, scoring massive support slots with the likes of Cobra

Starship, Stereophonics and Good Charlotte. They play the Hotel

Great Northern on Sunday.

Sunbeach full of Cowgirils Kathryn Jones, Anna van Riel and Anna O’Donnell are the East

Coast’s sassiest new bluegrass/folk/roots band. The ‘Swingin’

Cowgirls’ play a blend of bluegrass, folk ‘n’ country rock with

catchy melodies & toe tapping rhythms. Their breathtaking

harmonies add a magical element to their shows and they

guarantee to have you hollering for more. Van Riel &

Jones met high in the Western Ranges whilst lassoing

brumbies. After wrangling feisty, fiddle playing

cowgirl, Anna O’Donnell, their posse was

complete.

With a booty of ukuleles, fiddles and acoustic

guitars, together they serenade the lonely

hearts of Australia’s East Coast. The Swingin’

Cowgirls are fast becoming known for their

cheeky lyrics, upbeat energy, not to mention a

wit as fast as a high noon showdown. So take

hold of the reins folks!

The Swingin’ Cowgirls are the sexiest

tumbleweed on the East Coast

and they’re blowin’ your way.

GETTING YOUR DUCKLINGS ACROSS THE ROAD

Being a parent is

terrifiying. The

moment my cervix

dilated 10cm and a

brand new human

being emerged, I

opened the door to a

world of anxiety that

I never knew existed.

Where before I’d looked

around and seen a cosy room,

I suddenly saw sharp corners,

poisonous chemicals, gaping

doors and finger mashing

cupboards.

The world is not a safe place. I

am reminded of this driving to

Ballina the other day. On the

horizon I see three tiny shapes

moving onto the bitumen. A

mother duck has decided that

11am on a rainy Saturday is a

great time to cross the Pacific

Highway. A little brown mother

waddles in the wake of two

fluffy little ducklings. In the

middle of this 100 kilometre per

hour death trap this story book

scene unfolds. I hit the brake.

If I ran over a mother duck and

her ducklings I didn’t think I’d

ever come out of counselling.

Jesus, is there a DOCS for

ducks? What the hell was she

thinking? You don’t take your

babies across a road. Surely

whatever is on the other side is

not worth being mowed down

by an approaching vehicle! She

makes it across. This time.

I am so moved by the fragility

of life that I start to cry. My

daughter looks at me like I’m

nuts. I probably am. If I run

over the ducks I cry. If I don’t

run over the ducks I cry. I think

that I am that mother duck,

and every day I must send my

most precious beings into a

world which may not return

them. When I send my kids

down the street to get a bottle

of milk I warn them about

creepy paedophiles with fluffy

puppies, to be careful crossing

the road, and don’t use the

Mullumbimby pedestrian

crossing because it is more

dangerous than jay walking.

I tell them not to lick the

receivers of public telephones

because they’re covered in

hepatitis, that you don’t sit on

a public toilet seat because

someone else’s wee could

touch your bum or you could

get their bum germs and get

herpes or festering bum sores.

Don’t drink water in plastic

bottles that have been in the

sun because you’ll get cancer,

don’t eat margarine because

you’ll go blind, don’t eat sugar

because you’ll get diabetes,

or fat, or cancer or both, don’t

make friends with weirdos on

Facebook in case they stalk you

then meet you at a train station

and murder you.

Don’t put buttons or foreign

objects in your mouth because

you’ll choke. Teenage girls take

note, that also goes for penises.

Don’t get immunised, you

could end up with a disability.

Get immunised, because you

could end up with a disability

or a nasty case of Byron Shire

Whooping Cough, or dead

from diphtheria or tetanus or

polio. Bang on the backsteps

before you walk down because

brown snakes live under the

house.

Don’t eat unwashed lettuce

because you’ll get botulism.

Don’t talk on the mobile for

too long because you’ll get a

brain tumour. Don’t lick leaking

batteries. Don’t ride your

bike. Don’t swim in estuaries,

there’s some weird flesh-eating

bacteria. Don’t hit your brother

with a cricket bat. Don’t get in

the car with stoners. Don’t hitch

hike, you could get picked

up by some out of control

psychopath. If you are driving

don’t pick up hitch hikers,

they could be out-of-control

psychopaths.

Don’t take drugs like I did. Don’t

drink. Don’t smoke. And you

know what, don’t drive, there’s

nowhere really worth going

anyway. Just stay at home. With

me. Until you’re forty. And no

one wants you. It will be just

you and your Mum. There’s

nothing creepy about that.

I can’t get the ducklings out

of my head. I’m worrying

about them every day. I can’t

sleep for thinking of all the

mothers who don’t get their

ducklings across the road. It’s

the absolute powerlessness of

it that frightens me. It’s 3am. I’m

in an insomniac stupor. I get in

the car. I drive to Ballina. I wait.

Mother Duck emerges from

the grass with her babies. I bag

them. Chuck them in the boot

and drive them home. I lock

them in the bathroom. They’re

safe. I fall asleep. I wake to a

scream of a child wandering

to the loo for a morning pee:

‘Mum I’ve been attacked... by

a duck!’

boXsoAPMandy Nolan

Was the outcome what you expected? Well I didn’t really have

very firm expectations. I just finished the songs and tried to make

them sound as good as they can be. Sometimes it’s like the song

already exist and you’re just bringing it to the surface. That was a

key difference for me in this album. It didnt need to fit together

as one coherent work. I was actually thinking if there’s a lot of

variation, all the better.

It’s all about choices isn’t it, so many different ways you can

go with an album ...How does the technology you choose

create the path that you need to follow? Well maybe one or

two songs on the album could have happend in the analog days

but the most part they were done using a lot of loops. Especially

for the tracks I did with the Trials, Countbounce and Chasm, it

was also a case of emailing to and fro. The fact that you can jam

over email and have the track almost finished before you’ve

even talked on the phone is amazing. That’s pretty much how

it was with Trials. I was in Canada and then later in Byron while

I was working on a collab with the Funkoars and I still hadn’t

even heard his voice. What I found really interesting is that the

impression I had of him through the typed word was pretty

much exactly how he is in person.

Do you think that each new album needs to contain

footprints of what has come before, or is it always a brand

new process? Usually that’s what I try to do. I’ve never liked it

when my favourite musos have gone on massive departures so I

try to take the audience with me as well. Having said that. I’m not

sure if fans of ‘Introducing’ would love ‘Hot Mama Vibes’.

Which track are you proudest of? Theres a bit in ‘Change’. Just

this ascending little riff that I played on the guitar, but it sounds

sort of like demonic heavy bass in a really up happy song and I’m

really happy with that bit. But for the most part I need to take a

few years before I can see it with any objectivity, and even then,

it will be coloured by my views at the time. Its probably good

not to get to attached in a way because it’s all just a matter of

opinion. I love the beats on a few of them too.

What should we be expecting for the Byron show? I’ve got the

four piece who played on a lot of the album. Fingers Malone is on

kit drum, Synth and Mpc, Kanchana is playing African percussion

and Djing plus playing MPC, and Benny Owen is playing the car

door, Djembe and a Sink. I’m still doing the one-man-band thing

in the middle of the cacophony, so there’s a fair bit of percussion

up there!

AMY MEREDITH AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON SUNDAY

METHOD AT THE BEACH HOTEL ON THURSDAY AND THE ELTHAM HOTEL ON FRIDAY


Down Memory LaneousA mongrel born of love lost, intoxication, back beats, nipples, distortion, duality and Staffordshire terriers, Laneous and the Family Yah are proud to present their new album Found Things. A collage of inspiration found in the band’s travels, collected to produce a miscellaneous representation of their experiences in music and words, Found Things is 17 tracks written between mid 2009 to mid 2010 by Laneous & the Family Yah and recorded mid 2010 at Psi Fi studios in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley by Peet G. From start to finish, front to back, Found Things is a devastating mongrel mixture of genres, instruments, tempos, styles and influences, and it solidifies Laneous & The Family Yah as one of the most dangerous acts in the country. Byron Brewery on Saturday, for FREE!

Being Eclectic is WrightIn their three years together as a band, Melbourne genre-mashers Simon Wright and the Eclective have gone from being a Fitzroy Jam Band to a local icon, pumping out party vibes to their ever growing loyal followers. It’s hard to pigeon hole the Eclective. The energetic dance floor is always a colourful bunch. The hip hop diehards are banging their heads, the reggae crew are doin’ the one drop hop and the smooth soul cats are sittin’ in the pocket groove. One thing they all share in common though, is a smile from ear to ear. Their music is an uplifting urban-jazz-and-beyond collision of hip hop, soul, funk, reggae, Latin, blues and rock ‘n’ roll. Saturday at the Beach Hotel.

The Echo caught up with Lisa after a

23 date tour in Italy.

How have you structured the show...

is there talking between, do we get a

narrative? There’s always a structure in

a show for me but it’s still taking shape.

For sure there will be some talking and

testifying.

How have you chosen the songs? There

must have been a lot that you couldn’t

include. For sure, but I’ve narrowed it down

to my favorite gospel tunes which will

also communicate well to an audience. I’m

hoping I wont cry. These tunes go back to

the most sacred part of my soul.

What are the roots of gospel - how did

church music come to the forefront like

jazz or blues? The African slaves took the

form and melodies of the traditional hymns

of their Christian slave masters and infused

their own style and thus was born African

American gospel and many other forms of

music that have become legendary. from

jazz and blues and to rhythm and blues and

motown and beyond. Was to be expected

really hahaha.

What does gospel mean to you...Do you

feel that intensity on stage when you are

singing and performing... It’s my roots,

it how I learned to sing and where my

passion and devotion to music was born.

Can gospel music be transformative?

Of course... all music is.

You are working with Mohini Cox - tell

me about the collaboration? We’re

bringing our individual styles together

and are are working on some tunes

together. I’ve sat in on some of Mohini’s

shows and look forward to seeing how this

collaboration develops.

They say you never really know a person

until you sing gospel together.

And the band? Tell me about the players.

Geoff Wright is MCing, got some dudes

from my soul band (Dave Sanders, Max

Stowers and Connor Fitzgerald) and

another keyboard player who’s name

escapes me... sorry).

I remember seeing a Clarence Fountain

and the Blind Boys from Alabama gig

when I was in my early twenties and it

made me weep but feel ecstatic at the

same time. Why do you think Gospel

touches people so profoundly? Because

it’s devotional in nature and emotional and

so harmonically beautiful it’s difficult to not

be moved. I get shivers, my stomach aches

(with tenderness) and I am often in tears.

I will try and keep it together for these

shows.

Experience something profound at the

Byron Brewery... opens Sunday. With

November 14. Bookings can be made 6685 5833

Eat Pray...Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir Eat Pray Love comes to

gorgeous technicolour life with the big-screen adaptation starring

Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem (lucky Julia!). Liz Gilbert had

everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having –

a husband, a house, a successful career – yet like so many others,

she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really

wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out

of her comfort zone and into a new life, embarking on a journey

around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her

travels, she discovers the true pleasure of food in Italy; the power of

prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, true love in Bali.

Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas and the Byron Bay Writers Festival

are hosting a gala Byron premiere of Eat Pray Love on Wednesday

October 6 with champagne and wine in the foyer from 6pm, a

luscious theatre snack, and great door prizes including dinner

vouchers from Chameleon Cafe and O’Sushi, and a covetable bag o’

books from the festival. Tickets $25 on sale now at the cinema.

You’ll get a Kick out of Mick

Footy Show favourite Mick Meredith brings his music-making

comedy mirth to Side Splitting Comedy at the Currumbin

RSL on Thursday October 7. Mick is one of Australia’s most

versatile comedy performers and has established himself over

the years as a popular and successful funny man. Mick cut his

teeth in the musical world, playing in bands in his early teens

then a detour into magic and clowning and finally switching to

stand-up comedy in his 30s. His experience in all these genres of

entertainment hasmade him an all-round performer, a tradesman

of comedy, and he can blend all his skills into one huge show,

a big fat comedy buffet with all the trimmings. Mick’s style has

been described as laidback and cheeky with plenty of laughs and

applause, a bloke you’ll laugh at onstage and want to have a beer

with afterwards.

Mick has appeared on film, TV and radio including The Footy

Show, Mornings with Kerri Ann, Ten HD’s Thursday Night Live,

Joker Poker, The Fat, LG, Picnic, KFC and AAPT commercials,

Stand-up Australia, Triple M, The Sydney Cracker Festival Gala and

feature films Bloody Hell and Footy Legends with Anh Do, Peter

Phelps and Claudia Karvan. He is joined by Mullum Mumma stand

up comedian Ellen Briggs and MC Mandy Nolan. Thursday

October 7 at 7.30pm. Currumbin RSL. Door and bar open 6.30pm.

Show starts at 7.30pm. $15 members $18 non members, bookings

recommended. Tickets can be purchased at www.currumbinrsl.

event. The FREE KIDS CLUB is open until 10pm for this event.

Uncle Akmal

Akmal Saleh was born funny. He didn’t mean to be a comedian.

Weird shit just happens to him. Years ago I had Akmal for a gig in

Bangalow. He and his wife were staying at my house. After the gig

I said ‘Meet me in the carpark. You can follow me back to Byron.’ I

go back to the carpark. There’s three cars. Akmal

is gone. I drive around looking for him. I give

up and go home. At about 1 in the morning

I get a call from Akmal who’s out in

Federal somewhere: ‘I think I followed the

wrong person home’. He’d followed some

dude back to his farm. I can’t imagine

what the bloke thought when he was

confronted by an Arabic Australian

comedian in his driveway after midnight.

I’ve known Akmal for years so it when the

rest of the world discovered him, all us

comics went, yep, he’s a fricking

funny man. Akmal’s popularity

as a comedian has increased

considerably over the last

10 years due to his regular

appearances on national

television shows such as

Rove, Good News Week,

The Glass House and “Thank

God You’re Here.” He has

appeared at festivals all

MICK MEREDITH FEATURES AT THE CURRUMBIN RSL ON THURSDAY 7 OCTOBER

VOYUER FASHION SHOW AT THE BYRON COMMUNITY CENTRE

ON FRIDAY

Sticky situation

This Newtown fourpiece Misfits present a melodic, mega-hectic

mash of psychedelic, pop and reggae that’ll have you throwing

shapes around rooms with people you barely know, trading your

flat screen for a ticket to ride. These Sydney based rude boys are

delivering a refreshing vibe to Australian music. The band began

their rise when drummer, Beaker and bass player Paddy Fingers,

met busker Dylan Frost one night in early 09 outside the Coopers

Arms hotel in Newtown. Dylan, fresh from NZ was on the streets

with his guitar busking for coin outside the pub. Hotel Great

Northern on Saturday.

Classic Music

For those who love classical music, this is a must see. This

transgenerational group of wandering minstrels give new life and

energy to some age-old pieces in a robust performance. Catch this

new generation of string players with the Stars of the Australian

Chamber Orchestra at the Bangalow A&I Hall on Tuesday at

7.30pm. Bookings at Barebones in Bangalow.

Getting Nicked at the Courthouse

Stand-up comedian Nick Penn has been laying them in the aisles

of late with his laconic, hysterical take on the Australian ethos.

Nick is one of the few comics who manages to present cutting

edge comedy that’s clean and funny! Nick’s been a regular on

the comedy scene for two decades, starting out at the Comedy

Store and going on to work festivals, corporate events and clubs

around the country. Nick’s the master of the one liner. He’s also

pretty handy with a didge and does one of the best race calls

you will ever hear. Mr Penn MC’s The Open Mic comedy at The

Courthouse on Thursday October 7. It starts at 8pm & it’s free!

What’s Newat Our Community

CentreByron Markets – Now twice a month! The Byron Markets, traditionally held on the first Sunday of the month at the Butler Street Reserve, will now also be held on the third Sunday of the month – giving stallholders and customers two bites a month at the Byron Market cherry!

Initially on a six-month trial basis, the second market will be held on the third Sunday of the month from Sunday 17 October. Current permanent stallholders will be offered the same space and new stallholders are encouraged to register by checking out byroncentre.com.au or emailing [email protected].

A strategic marketing campaign is being developed to promote the extra markets over the summer. Promotion will include radio and newspaper adverts, flyers and posters aimed at creating awareness of the new mid-month market and increasing the number of customers to both the monthly markets.

The new mid-month market is also a boost for the Charities of the Day who rattle their tins at the entrances. In the last 12 months more than $28,000 has been raised for organisations such as Pets for Life and Byron Bay Youth House.

The Byron Markets is a fun, friendly and fabulous day out! Market dates this year: Sunday 3 Oct, Sunday 17 Oct, Sunday 7 Nov, Sunday 21 Nov, Sunday 5 Dec, Sunday 19 Dec.

Artisan Market – Now every Saturday NightMeander into Railway Park every Saturday evening until Easter and enjoy the vibe of The Artisan Market.

The Centre provides a range of Community Services aimed at supporting and assisting those in need. From Tax Help at the Centre to the Fletcher Street Cottage homeless drop-in centre, the Centre seeks to provide care and aid to individuals and sections of the community.

The Centre receives no government or local Council funding and relies on grants, fundraising, volunteers and income from the Theatre and Markets to continue to provide and expand the program of Community Services.

With the recent addition of services and a growing team of volunteers, the Centre is soon expanding its Community Services office space upstairs into the old Byron Community College training room. New services recently introduced include Tax Help, available until the end of October, and the No Interest

Loans Scheme for people on low incomes to purchase essential white goods.

The Fletcher Street Room at the Centre continues to house the Liberation Larder, the Homeless Breakfast and the weekly Pregnancy Support Group.

Casino Boy Headlines Big GigStand-up Comedian Chris Radburn is the son of lawyers. In

fact he’s a lawyer himself. That’s probably why he’s just so dam

comfortable up there shooting the breeze with the crowd,

performing to a public gallery is in the blood. This audience just

happens to be holding a beer. As a comic he’s earned a reputation

for clever and cheeky observations that are relatable, original and

hilarious. Chris’s television appearances so far have included The

NRL Footy Show, NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Getaway, Stand up

Australia, Australia Versus, Joker Poker, Thursday Night Live and the

Sydney Comedy Festival Gala. Chris was invited as one of a select

few Australian comics to perform in the NBC’s Last Comic Standing

in Miami, USA where he finished as an international finalist. In 2010

Chris landed a dream sports job on radio being co-host with Sports

Tonight’s Brad McEwan on 2GB’s top-rating AFL show ‘The Bounce’.

Chris has interviewed such stars as INXS, Cathy Freeman, and Adam

Goodes. Chris is also a member of The Sin Bin Show, a talented

group of comics writing and performing sketch comedy about

sport. You’ve also seen Radburn as an actor. Chris has appeared

in many television commercials including Austar, Doritos, LG,

McDonalds and VB. He’s the quintessential everyman from Casino!

He’s joined by MC Mandy Nolan and support act Ellen Briggs on

Thursday at the Ballina RSL. 8pm. Entry free.

Roald Dahl’S The Byron Theatre Company are

getting ready to stage their latest

production for the school holidays:

their own adaptation of Roald Dahl’s

Fantastic Mr Fox. The Echo caught up

with Sandesh Gibney, the Director

and actor Ruby Walters.

Ruby what has drawn you to acting? I see

the process of acting as an exchange and I

think it is great that we give something to the

community and as a teenager it is great to

be able to get something back... like a focus...

something to get me through school!

What do you think you bring to the stage as

a story teller? Enthusiasm.

How did you enjoy your role in Engine?

The thing I loved about it most was working

with Norpa, and seeing the two main actors

transform between characters was like

witnessing a miracle.

Kids are so turned onto DVD’s and films, do

you think they still get theatre? Can it give

them something extra? Yeah! Contemporary

theatre is something else. It is metamorphed

into something t.v and movies just cannot

produce... realism. Having someone give

something like that, in the flesh, is amazing.

Tell me about the character you play

in Mr & Mrs Fox? I read the book when

I was younger... and thought Mrs Fox is a

bit cowardly and pathetic, but this theatre

production is portraying a more real mother

who is strong and protective of her children

and very supportive of her husband as he is

supportive of her! Although it revolves around

the children they share as new romantic love!

Sandesh Gibney

Why do you think theatre is so important?

Theatre is all about a live experience and goes

back to the dawn of man, shamans performing

ritual for favourable hunting outcomes. Today,

it is the only place where people of all ages can

come together in one room... including actors,

and if the show works properly, everyone will

bond in an emotionl response that is powerful

beyond intellect. I could write a dissertation

about it!

Why have you started directing children’s

theatre? I started because I have children and

I love the theatre so much that I wanted them

to experience it as well. It is also good for kids

to experience live performance, something

different from TV, movies, ipod screens etc.

What have been your challenges for this

show? Working with children! You’ve heard

the saying ‘kids and animals’; we’ve got kids as

animals, so it’s doubly challenging!

What do you think is the strength of

Fantastic Mr Fox as a show? So much

audience participation in the show. With call

and response, booing hissing and cheering

and song. The audience are as much a part

of the show as the actors. Another strength

is that this show is introducing a number of

kids into perfomance for the first time as the

cast are mostly children. Having chorus within

ths how gives kids an easier entry level, rather

asking them to stand up individually and

perform.

What staging decisions have you made? It

is a difficult show as far as half the story is in

valleys, hills and woods of England, and half

is where the animals in the story have their

homes underground. So the challenge was

to make it understandable for children in the

audience where the action is taking place;

either above ground or underground, and

connecting the two.

At the Mullumbimby Civic Hall October 6-9, with

shows at 11am & 2pm. Tickets are $15 & $50 a family of

four. Tix at The Bookshop Mullumbimby, Barebones

The Girl Who Played

With FireI believe that the Americans are in the process of making their own version of this Swedish serial (subtitles don’t draw an audience in Bumcrack, Ohio), but the lasting impression I came away with was that I’d just sat through an over-extended version of one of those US cop shows in which they only use letters for titles, e.g. CSI, NCIS – the closing wrap you’ve seen a million times on TV. So apart from the language, and the graphic and, to be quite honest, rather gratuitous girl-on-girl sex scene, which is unlikely to survive the cut in the Land of the Free, I wonder how different it could be? You need not necessarily have seen ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ (nor to have read the late Stieg Larsson’s best-selling trilogy – I haven’t)

to follow what’s going on here, but you do have to concentrate hard, for an unfocused, unbalanced narrative at times verges on the incoherent. A new director (Daniel Alfredson) and screenwriter (Jonas Frykberg) go perilously close to losing the plot and if, halfway through, you ask yourself that very basic question, ‘what’s this movie about?’, you might struggle to come up with an answer. Fortunately, Noomi Rapace is back playing the anti-heroine and potential saviour of the cigarette industry, Lisbeth Salander. She is simply sensational, but even for me her axe-weilding grand finale was a

bit much to swallow. And as for her having any regard for the wooden Michael Nykvist, whom she’d shagged in ‘Tattoo’ – give me a break! Cinematography is polished if tending to be on the bleak side and Stockholm makes a novel change from NYC and LA, but, at 129 minutes it is a bit of a test. I’d been reasonably absorbed by it until about the ninety-minute mark, at which point I fell out of its spell and just wanted it to be over. The first one was terrific, but its successor is nowhere near as good … and, in the wash up, I still wasn’t entirely sure who killed Bjurman. ~John Campbell

Kiki’s Delivery ServiceKiki is a thirteen-year-old witch who, with her cat Jiji, leaves home to develop her craft in a nearby city. It’s one of those gorgeous cartoon places that looks like somewhere in central Europe, sometime in the late ‘fifties – but with micro-waves and modern kids. To support herself, Kiki establishes a delivery service, transporting items on her broom. Problems she encounters while on the job test her resolve and lead her to grown-up decision making. Showing just how advanced and stylised Japanese animation

had become before Pixar caught up, this is a delightful, inventive children’s movie with an uplifting positivity and refreshing sense of fun. It’s screening next Wednesday as part of Kids Classic Movies at the Byron Community Centre.

Wall Street: Money

Never SleepsOliver Stone is a slam-dunk filmmaker who, throughout his impressive career, has been primarily concerned with ‘the big picture’ and the values and mores of contemporary US society. It is now twenty-three years (!) since his first scathing look at Wall Street and I for one couldn’t wait to see the result of his return to the spiritual [sic] home of capital. I wasn’t exactly bored out of my skull by the time I left – Stone is far too good at what he does to produce anything less than diverting – but let’s just say I was glad to get back out into grubby old Jonson Street. Having never owned shares on the stock exchange, and because I am one of those plebs whose eyes glaze over when the business report comes on between the news and the sports, I was behind the eight-ball from the start. What are these people talking about? I kept asking myself, for the dialogue is mired in the jargon used by financial tycoons and merchant wankers. But I stuck with it … the Armani wheelers and dealers have their story and are as entitled to have it told as anyone else. Relating to it is another matter, especially as events hardly ever leave the rarefied air of mahogany boardrooms and Manhattan high-rise. This undoubtedly is by design – Stone surely is making the point of how detached from Main Street’s reality his subjects are, but it seems remiss of him to not venture, at least for a smell, into the world of “the hoi polloi” where the brunt of the Global Financial Crisis was most painfully felt – and is still being felt. In its most simple terms, it’s about an idealistic good guy (Shia LaBoeuf), a Satanically greedy, unscrupulous bad guy (Josh Brolin) and the other guy, legendary Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), whose ‘journey’ (yawn), after he has been released from prison and re-entered the money market, will be charted. The written-by-numbers love interest (Carey Mulligan – sadly mis-cast after her beautiful performance in ‘An Education’), is Gekko’s estranged

daughter and LaBoeuf’s girlfriend, but her part is of little significance compared with the macho posturings of the three men. Breathtaking aerial shots of New York’s gleaming glass and steel provide relief from a repetitive and dense script, but the saccharine ending would make even Disney gag. As a Stone fan, I was extremely underwhelmed. ~John Campbell

Me and Orson Welles A wonderful coming of age story, intricately set in the world of theatre. This is a seductive film about dreams and betrayal; it faithfully recreates the world of 1937 as Orson Welles prepared to stage his controversial production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar (in modern clothes) at the famous Mercury Theatre. The film’s great strength lies in authentically recreating the reality of the era, the music and the personalities. The film is driven by an obvious love of Shakespeare and theatrical effects. Most of it takes place

in, on, under and around the stage. Lights, ropes, trap doors feature prominently, along with superstition, backbiting, bitching and a fair deal of spontaneous sex. We see what goes on – in front of and behind the curtains. Christian McKay (as Orson Welles) grabs our attention as the celebrated 20th century film director, actor, writer and producer with the distinctive voice and imposing personality. Not only does McKay give a great performance in this role of a lifetime, but he actually looks like the great Welles, himself. The other character (based on real events) is high school student Richard (Zac Efron) who happens on the audition crowd in the street outside Welles’ Mercury Theatre. Welles takes a shine to the kid and casts him as Lucius, the lute player. Orson instructs the beauteous front-of-house manager Sonja (Claire Danes) to teach him the part. Pretty soon, Richard is love-struck, stage-struck and rehearsing beside one of the great artists of the 20th century. ~ Lounge Cinema

Mungo’s Crossword fi rst published in The Week.

D’oh!No solution for last week’s puzzle because we printed the wrong clues.

The early rounds of the 2010 Chess Olympiad have provided only modest encouragement for Australian fans.

After the long journey to the isolated Russian mining town of Khanty-Mansiysk, the Australians were pleasantly surprised to find that two of the feared downsides of a Siberian Olympiad – accom-modation and food – were of a more than acceptable level.

Representatives from 138 other countries also made the journey to K-M, a turnout supplement-ed by the Russians ignoring the rules and including five home teams into the Open Olympiad and three more into the Women’s Olympiad.

The first round saw the Australian Open team cruise through against weak opposition – Bahrain (4-0) – but they came back down to earth the follow-ing day by becoming victims of Armenia, the defending Olympic Champions (0.5-3.5). Australian Champion Zhao Zong Yuan was checkmated by world number four Levon Aronian and George Xie was crushed by multiple gold

medallist Gabriel Sargissian. However, David Smerdon

gave some small respectabil-ity to the scoreline with a draw against former FIDE KO World Championship runner-up Vlad-imir Akopian in the game given below.

A third round win over Puerto Rico (4-0) was smooth enough, and also served to show that Smerdon – on 2.5/3 – and Johansen (2/2) were the Australians in the best form.

The Australian women’s team has been having a much harder time, a far from simple 4-0 win over lowly Nigeria being fol-lowed by bad losses to Slovakia (0-4) and Peru (1-3). The Peru defeat was particularly demor-alising, Australia’s only point being scored on forfeit when the Peruvian second board player turned up just after the start of the round. (Yes, the crazy ‘zero forfeit’ rule, which ruined more than 40 games at the previous

Olympiad, is in operation again in K-M.)

To date only Nguyen and junior Emma Guo (on her Olympic debut) have managed 50 per cent scores for our women’s team in K-M.

At the top end of the table, the strongest teams have yet to miss a beat. Russia remains favourite for gold in the Open Olympiad – despite missing out on the medals in the previous two Olympiads – while the Women’s Olympiad is up for grabs, with any of China, Russia, the Ukraine and Georgia capable of repeating previous gold medal efforts.Khanty Mansiysk Olympiad 2010White:D SmerdonBlack: V AkopianOpening: French Defence1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Nc6 5.Nf3 Qb6 6.Bd3 cxd4 7.cxd4 Bd7 8.0-0 Nxd4 9.Nbd2!?

WITH LILITH

Stars September ends with emotional anarchy in the air, Venus and Mars shacked up

in Scorpio in a sexy but domestically challenging pairing, and a strong caution warning for motorists …

ARIES: It’s always easier to see other peoples’ faults than our own, so comfortably obscured by blind spots. Since whatever you focus on expands, treat this week as the product of your designer mind and see how quickly this affects outer circumstances – for better or worse.

TAURUS: This week’s Venus wants you looking your best – everyone else will be. And if you’ve been too flat chat with worldly concerns to pay attention to your up close and personal life, planetary emphasis in the sign of togetherness puts the heart department back on the Tauran agenda.

GEMINI: Your special Gemini talents - versatility, social mobility and intrepid scene-surfing – come into their own this week, though any hint of insincerity could turn off valuable allies. Midweek Gemini moon has your organizational skills peaking and that’s when you’ll be at your most productive.

CANCER: Focusing on eliminating unhealthy financial habits will be more efficient and effective this week than trying to pre-plan or micromanage an uncertain future. If late week Cancer moon unsettles your sense of security, don’t for a second underestimate your own extraordinary resourcefulness.

LEO: Try not to overreact if discord hits your domestic sector this week. Or people change their minds. Join them by changing yours – flexing your mental muscles in new directions and rather than offering the usual set menu, creating more spontaneous dishes of the day.

VIRGO: Mars in your sign likes to take charge and that’s okay as long as you’re forgiving along with it… This week’s surprisingly playful and entertaining, or could be if you can willingly engage with challenges to the status quo as the personal planets give treasured friendships a workout. Don’t expect key players in your life to behave like saints – do you?

LIBRA: This week’s Libran dance is, as always, the ballet of balancing light, dark, blessings, challenges, love, fun, worries and troubles. The spirit’s willing, but the flesh has its own agenda when sensible intentions meet spring temptations, so best just bless the present and pass the party hats.

SCORPIO: Take-charge Mars in your sign at worst makes you self willed and stubborn, at best attracts what you want through love and confidence rather than power broking. Your magnetic and healing abilities are strong at the moment, though conditions apply. One condition anyway, and that’s integrity.

SAGITTARIUS: With frisky spring pheromones in the wind only the fast and the even faster can keep up with you. Yes, emotional weather’s cyclonic, but as Sagittarian soul poet Rilke wrote: No feeling is final... Limit multitasking this week and focus on one thing at a time.

CAPRICORN: For Capricorns who haven’t accepted Pluto’s demotion from planetary status, the dark planet moving forward in your sign lightens your existential load. So explore any delightful diversions or entertaining follies crossing your path this week because right now it’s worth welcoming whatever light relief’s available.

AQUARIUS: The mixed offerings in this week’s cosmic shopping trolley favour shopping, beauty treatments and artistic expression, but not abstinence, fidelity, honesty or marketing your ideas. Though will contrary Aquarians let that stop them from going right ahead and achieving miracles? Didn’t think so.

PISCES: Mars and Venus are in a very sexy connection this week, but troublesome cross-currents are also operating. If you’re experiencing an ambivalent, love-hate affair with your current circumstances, use this seasonal attack of divine discontent to fuel the changes you know you need.

When Dan Schreiber came to Byron Bay from London in the early nineties he found that it was precisely the spot he was looking for. Its alternative culture and open-minded community were elements he had sought in Mexico, Bali and Hawaii in his quest for ‘the right place’ – which none of these places were.

Dan and I are sitting in the nearly-completed tea-house at Starseed Gardens, just out of Byron Bay. He has poured us oolong tea – the Beaujolais of green teas, he tells me – which we sip from tiny cups as he describes his plan.

South African-born, he is a self-taught herbal healer and horticulturist, creative director of Starseed – and ‘I’ve also been called a visionary’, he says. With a background in the life sciences – oceanography, botany, zoology – he would prefer to describe himself as ‘just into nature’, or perhaps Dr Seuss’s character Lorax, ‘a friend of the trees’. When he arrived he was looking for somewhere to build some botanical gardens here, with the notion of gradually introducing cultural elements into it. For a while he was ‘living quite happily up in

he started to realise that ‘the very thing I’d moved to Byron for was becoming eroded, marginalised – like the buskers in the street.’ And so he devised a 25–50-year plan.

‘Instead of trying to change the whole area I wanted to create a pocket set in gardens and not in the CBD, so people could come and visit and see what Byron is for. Town is not a true representation of the culture that exists in the hills.’ He wanted to ‘design a forum for our incredible artists and healers, thinkers and musicians’, a microcosm or a model, perhaps, of a utopian vision. In fact Starseed’s website features the words ‘attainable utopia’. ‘I think that communities have to find a way of finding out what’s of value and keeping it there – like the Barossa, for example, which has a strong traditional culture of growing food’, Dan

says, ‘Where’s our whale and dolphin festival, for example? – given whaling was one of our early industries... people who come here are drawn by the cultural dynamic that is alternative and it’s vital we nurture it. We have the highest incidence of creative people per capita in Australia.’

Dan found Jagers Piggery, off Skinners Shoot Road, which up until 1995 was the most hi-tech piggery around. It is 80 acres of pasture, spring-fed dams and the old piggery buildings themselves – the tea-room, for example, all recycled bamboo floors, spiral deck, old wooden chests and fuschia cushions on the floor, was the pig-loading building. Starseed itself is ‘a loose co-operative’ of about 15 members. Wwoofers help out and there is a core group of six ‘who are directing the energy.’ That energy is being poured into the garden nursery itself, which will ultimately specialise in culturally significant ethno-botanical plants traditionally used for food and medicine; workshops on a host of topics such as organic gardening, biodiversity and solar economies; building wood-fired ovens and Polynesian earth ovens; bamboo-building festivals and mushroom cultivation. It sounds so ambitious, and yet Dan is in no hurry, one of the most relaxed and gentle people I have met. All of this started about ten years ago, close enough to Byron so that it was accessible for people to come out for day sessions but far enough away.

‘We’re going to organically grow these botanical gardens,’ he tells me, ‘but we’re growing everything from seed... What I’m doing is drawing from so many traditional cultures – there’s very little that is actually new. A lot of these things aren’t really complex. The elegance of their solution may be found in the bass notes of culture – food, music.’

‘is the home of plant-human culture and relationships’. Its regularly updated website, which features future events, is www.starseed.co.

Sip your margarita in our casual covered garden andenjoy the fresh clean flavours of Mexico. Everything

‘Most highly rated French Restaurant

in Australia’ - My Taste Website

PETIT SNAIL IN WINNING MODEByron Bay French restaurant The Petit Snail has just had a double win. Firstly, they were judged best French restaurant in NSW in the ‘I Love Food Awards 2010’ run by the Lifestyle Food Channel.

In addition to this they won the award for the most highly rated French restaurant in Australia, according to the MyTaste website where people leave testimonies on their dining-out experiences. In the two years since they opened, owners Igor and Dominique have won a total of three awards, last year picking up the Restaurant & Catering Association’s Best New Restaurant in regional NSW. Anyone who has visited this family-run eatery can only be charmed by its warmth, traditional menu and cosy atmosphere.

EATING AND PRIZESYou would have to be living under a rock to be unaware of ‘Eat, Pray, Love’.

Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir, in which she lives variously in India, Italy and Bali following a painful and messy divorce, struck a chord with women the world over (it’s been on the New York Times Best Seller list for 187 weeks) – and has been turned into a movie starring the charismatic Julia Roberts. Byron Bay Writers Festival and Dendy Byron Cinemas will celebrate the Australian premiere with a special champagne screening on Wednesday October 6 at 6pm. It will be an opportunity to meet the new Writers Festival Director Candida Baker as well. In addition to the champagne flowing there will be prizes on the night including great Festival book packs and meal vouchers with Chameleon and O Sushi.

With only 275 seats, the cinema is likely to fill up fast for this fabulous event – but tickets at $25 each are now on sale, either from the box office or by calling 6680 8555.

Pitching your food to a particular audience is a big part of the food industry. Is it healthy, sexy, trendy or comforting? And now, is it sustainable?It’s how restaurants position themselves to diners, and sometimes need to reposition themselves when a particular pitch doesn’t seem to be working. The punters spend a lot of money on a night out – well, a lot of money if you’re not dripping in the stuff – and want to be sure their night is going to be pleasurable. Some want to be reassured they’re not spending a lot of money, that what they’re getting is an inexpensive deal for the whole family.

Of course one man’s pleasure is another man’s trapped-in-a-stalled-lift-with-a-deodorant-salesman. There are those who don’t want the inexpensive deal – they want to be seen in the cool new thing, their presence radiating their wealth and hipness. (‘Cool’ and ‘hipness’ are words which used to be cool and hip in the 1950s. It may be ‘sick’ and awesomeness’ now for all I know.) Part of that is to do with prestige, much of it is about seduction. Restaurants are foreplay.

Restaurants are also a night away from the blue light of the TV and the washing-up. You can pitch your eatery as a pair of comfy slippers rather than a slinky negligee in that case. And restaurants are

also about the tribe. Catching up with friends or, in some cases, joining another tribe – pretending to be part of a boisterous Mediterranean family in a trattoria, for instance.

Tribal concerns are also a big part of pitching food in the wider market. The junk food pushers are all over it, but now the real food growers are taking them on at their

own game. If you were lucky enough to watch The Gruen Transfer on ABC TV last Wednesday – this program is a fabulous insight into how our minds are forked with – you would have had a taste of the new paradigm in vegetable marketing. Ad agency Crispin, Porter and Bogusky has created a brilliant campaign for baby carrot giant Bolthouse Farms. It positions baby carrots as extreme junk food for teens and offers the pimply consumer an iPhone game and hilarious promotional videos which take the piss out of themselves.

According to Omid Farhang, VP and creative director at CPB, ‘Carrots are crunchy, orange, disposable, munchable and portable. They basically share all the exact same qualities as some of the more insidious junk foods. The only thing that was missing is the marketing.’

You can see it all, complete with heavy guitar riffs, at www.babycarrots.com. You still get the junk packaging but at least the kids are eating something with actual nutrition in it.

Authentic Thai chefs will tantilise your taste buds with superb traditional Thai cuisine. Well priced and popular with the locals. Fully licenced and delicious cocktails.

Shand series decided for Bankers and Swingers Brunswick Try’s hard

Brian Mollet

With the second semi in the Nick Shand Memorial cricket series between the Byron Full-Tossers and the Suffolk Swing-ers being sensationally tied, controversy loomed like an ugly seven-headed hydra.

All eyes turned to the fa-mous invisible rule book, the sole repository of wisdom and the last word in any cricket ar-gument.

After prayers and a libation,

and consulting the entrails (in this case a sausage), the rel-evant passage was found and having lost less wickets the Suffolk Swingers were ruled to have earned the right to contest this years grand final against the giants of the local game, the Left Bankers.

Conditions at Lomath Oval were like a well seasoned cricketer, a bit grey around the edges, but calm. Scruff won the toss for the Bankers and sent out his batting order which is

as top-heavy as the roof of the velodrome in Delhi.

Russell showed he was pre-pared to take the aerial route as the famous turf was greener than Bob Brown and denser than Fred Nile. Snakebite looked like he would sur-vive Liam’s opening spell but couldn’t get out of the way of one that cannoned off his pads into his stumps. Zac had played himself in and the score was moving along when Liam’s throw from cover caught him a yard short after a clear call of yenno, as the ball died in the turf.

The Swingers had a few chances to clip the wings of the top order but for a calami-tous few overs where catches were going down like the US dollar and it seemed umpires, the venerable Brian and St Sey-mour, would give them no joy.

Russell brought up his 30 and then Scruff and Sean be-gan launching into the bowl-ing. Smoke was coming from the nib of the scorer’s pen as they both retired. Wickets to Jake, Wayno, Jimmy and Liam (3-5) just seemed to bring about more danger as Bruce, Sharky and Guy all did damage in a late flurry that bulged the score to a corpulent 194.

The reply from the Swingers was positive as Bruce chanced his arm and 33 were on the board before Darren was beat-en by a sharp throw and run out. Snakebite had his trade-mark ballet leaps in his run up

working superbly and found the edge of Jake’s bat; this was the first crack in the middle order.

Soon skipper Scruff (4-5) was driving wedges into that crack faster than a gangster rap band after a big gig. Bruce retired on 30 and Geri showed some fight but the equation began to run away for the Swingers.

Ed the witch doctor ghosted in on the afternoon shadows to put the issue beyond doubt with two wickets. Wayno and Swinger’s skipper Levi put on some late runs to give their supporters plenty of chances to cheer, well deserved after their effort this year in the series.

Bruce took the wicket that delivered the trophy to the Left Bankers for the first time. The trophy itself was unmoved from the vault at the Echo, as only a retinal print allows ac-cess and Brian’s eyes were still red from Gavan Higginson’s 60th two days before, and were rejected by the state of the art scanner.

The traditional toast to Mr Shand was shared straight from the bottle of red, skip-per and man of the match Russ thanked one and all but especially the Echo, Snakebite Pete and St Seymour, without whom there would be no se-ries.

Next year already promises more than a politician on a pile of pork barrels as rumours per-sist that Ocean Shores will put up a team.

Perfect conditions greeted participants of the sixth annual Brunswick SLSC Triathlon on Sunday. One hundred and sixteen participants undertook to swim, ride, run or all three in the event that is becoming very popular with individual and team athletes. First across the line was well known local runner Tom Anderson who was the last leg for his in team with swimmer Michael Schwager and rider bike Allen Stons. They came home in 35:12. The overall winner of the event was Scott Sewell who completed the tri in 36:20 and the first female home was Geor-gia Rhodes in 43:07.

Fiver year old Jonah gave dad Alvin Caoyonan a helping hand when he rode the bike leg of the event after his dad’s swim and before the run. Tri rules expect that young competitors are escorted on the course and mum Kelley, pictured, was only to happy to chaperone Jonah through the streets of Bruns.BUSINESS:

There is always something new and interesting happening in Bangalow which is one of the at-tractive features that draws peo-ple to the area in search of the perfect home.

People looking for a new resi-dence or business, investment or

rental property need travel no further than Bangalow to find realtors with enough experience and expertise to cater to a variety of property buyers and, like the town, there is always something new and interesting happening in real estate in the area.

Elders has recently become the domain of new owners Dun-can Lorimer and Janice Maple – both are passionate about real estate. Duncan has a vast knowl-edge of every aspect of the real estate industry and has success-fully owned and operated a well known agency on Sydney’s North Shore for nearly 20 years.

Janice has been a highly re-spected and valued member of the Elders team since 2001 and has received awards in recognition of her excellent sales effort. ‘I have a firm belief in maintaining strong communication lines,’ says Janice. ‘This ensures that all parties are up to date and informed throughout every step of the process.’

Duncan and Janice believe that selling property should be a pleasant experience and hav-ing complete confidence in your appointed agent, with the knowl-edge that your best interests are being protected, is of great im-portance.

Another local business which has had a change ownership in recent times is Bangalow Real Es-tate, which has undergone a thor-ough restructure and upgrade of the premises, the equipment and facilities since Mary O’Connor took over in December last year.

Mary and her dedicated sales team now also offer a totally re-vamped Property Management Department which is rapidly ex-panding with professional service to property owners and investors, while nurturing quality tenants.

Scott from Scott Harvey Real Estate says that one of the new things in real estate is the type of property buyer looking at the market. ‘Buyers are becoming more educated with the inter-net,’ says Scott. ‘Ten per cent of our sales came from up north in 2009, but for 2010, it was up to 30 per cent, however, the lo-cal response in the main comes

from print media.’ With the rise in business Scott is keen to put on a new sales person in the coming months.

Brian Grant, Chris Hayward and Morag Page have formed the very solid long-term sales team at George and Fuhrmann Real Estate. Brian says that GNF are always playing a large part in sponsor-ing new and traditional cultural, sporting and community activities.

He also says that the market is coming into a busy time of the sea-son. ‘Recent economic trends have seen a slowing of the market; how-ever, spring always brings buyers back to our area,’ he says.

Lois Buckett Real Estate has planted a foot squarely in the new century. They have set up a wide social media network including Facebook and Twitter pages and a blog on their website, and they will soon be uploading a series of videos onto YouTube. They are also looking forward to the new season and have already launched their Spring Property Guide.

So if you are looking for some-thing new, be it a new home, a new business or a new way of looking at the property market, Bangalow has lots of new things on offer.

Congratulations to the creator(s) of the Facebook page ‘Byron Shire Youth Road Toll A Tribute To Our Local Fallen Friends R.I.P.’ It is a moving tribute and also has a practical purpose: ‘By clicking “Like” on this page, you pledge that you will drive safely and not drink and drive on all Byron Shire roads and most importantly SLOW DOWN!!!!’

And support for the other local Facebook page ‘Bring Woolies to Mullum’ continues to grow, with 245 fans as of last Monday. As one fan notes on the page: ‘If there is no demand for Woo-lies then their supermarket will become non-viable. That will be the true indicator of wheth-er or not the majority of the town are in favour of Woolies or not!’ Yes, it’s your choice. However there is a cuckoo in the nest who has left a You-Tube link to ‘The Beast File: Woolies and Coles (HUNGRY BEAST)’.

We’d also like to point you to the ‘That hippie on the Woo-lies commercial is definitely from Nimbin’ Facebook page. Over 200 fans and like, grow-ing, man.

The Triple J program Hack gets stuck into some real news issues. One of the latest is the real cost of drugs. Do you know where your cocaine came from? Was it manufac-tured by one of the gangs in Mexico, where 28,000 deaths can be attributed to the trade? See the full story at www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack. And why not think about the source of local marijuana, ice and ecstasy distribution. If you could could grow it in your own backyard, would it take away a world of pain?

If you have yet to see the ex-cellent comedian Akmal Saleh, there’s a good chance to catch his work at the Bangalow

Masquerade Ball at 6.30pm on Saturday October 2 at the Bangalow A&I Hall, along with local indy group Alice Blu. It’s also an opportunity to dress up in ‘Masquerade’ and support the Uncle Project. Tickets are available at Barebones art gal-lery and the Bangalow Hotel.

And get ready to learn about 3D animation, games, smart phone apps and web content at the Digital Screen Forum at Mullumbimby Civic Centre on Saturday October 30. Get an earlybird ticket up until Oc-tober 15 at www.screenworks.com.au.

Unlike some rural folk, Dairy Australia seems to take climate change seriously – it’s set up a toolkit at www.dairyaustralia.com.au/climate, which is also interesting for the general punter. Federal Labor’s offer of money for farmers’ carbon sequestration sounds like one way to help invigorate rural economies before our farmers all disappear.

Well done, Mullum High Year 12 students, who braved the rain in weird costumes last Wednes-day, raising $3,769.90 for UNICEF and Camp Quality. Their efforts brightened up an overcast morning in a good cause. And many thanks to the generous folks who contributed.
