THE WORLD IS FULL OF RIDICULOUS DISTRAC TIONS AND HERE’S ANOTHER

Being clear, not nuclear Byron action day, Saturday August 6

Hendra virus claims Mullumbimby horse Story& photo Eve Jeffery

As the Hendra virus season gets into full swing, a fifth horse has died from the disease on the NSW North Coast, the latest animal from Mullumbimby. New South Wales Chief Veterinary Officer Ian Roth says the property has been quarantined and movement restrictions are in place for all horses and companion animals, including cats and dogs. ‘There are eight other horses on the quarantined property of which four are considered at risk’, said Mr Roth, who explains that the horse was not noticeably ill on Saturday July 24, but was found dead in the paddock on Sunday morning.

Annual occurrence

Saturday August 6 is Hiroshima Day, and in light of the high levels of radioactive fallout that continues to spew from Fukushima’s damaged reactors in Japan, a day of action is planned in Railway Park in Byron on Saturday. The aim is to protest against the nuclear industry and stand in solidarity with the people of Fukushima, according to longtime antinuclear activist Mookx.

‘From uranium mining, radioactive nuclear power stations and deadly nuclear weapons to the problem of storing nuclear waste for thousands of years, we will be saying “No” to uranium. ‘The Mirrar elders in Australia are demanding to “Leave it in the ground” – this is also the name of a song I wrote way back in 1977 which I’ll be singing on the day.’ The day’s events will feature a global

link-up at 12 noon, as well as a program including a Japanese culture market, kids’ activities, the Rainbow Chai Tent, bands, DJs and a fireshow (see gig guide for details). There will also be a special screening of Twice Bombed: the Legacy of Yamaguchi Tsutomu, which chronicles the man who survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Volunteers welcome; please ring Saya Minami on 0422 351 942.

‘A veterinarian took a swab from the dead horse and sent the sample to NSW DPI’s Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute for laboratory analysis – results confirmed the Hendra virus.’ Vetrinarians say that outbreaks of the Hendra virus is an annual occurrence and are warning animal owners to remain cautious but calm. Mullumbimby vet Richard Gregory

says the first case this year appeared in late June 2011, where a horse died of Hendra virus near Beaudesert in Queensland. He also says that the virus is very unstable and does not survive long in the environment. ‘Hendra is not particularly contagious,’ he said at the Mullum clinic last Friday. ‘This does not mean that people should not be careful. ‘The general principles of hygiene should be followed. Extra precautions should be taken if people have a sick horse. The horse should be observed from a distance and if exhibiting concerning signs contact your vet for steps to be taken. ‘Hendra virus is not a hardy virus and can be easily killed by washing hands or skin with soap and water. ‘Washing clothes in detergent will kill the virus as well. As a general rule all horse and pet owners should be washing their hands after contact with their animals to reduce the likelihood of zoonosis (animal diseases transferrable to humans). This is good common sense regardless of the risk of Hendra virus.’ Pet owners have raised concerns continued on page 3

Liquor shop near school ‘not detrimental’ Victoria Cosford

The Liquor and Gaming Control Authority (LGCA) has told The Echo it is satisfied with the ‘overall social impact’ of moving the Woolies liquor shop in Mullumbimby to its current location. The department says it will ‘not be detrimental to the wellbeing of the local and broader community.’ The comments come after claims

by Mullumbimby Community Action Network (MCAN) of an alleged failure by LGCA to respond to the objections of the adjoining liquor store, which is located a few blocks from a primary school in the town. According to MCAN spokesperson Deborah Lilly, over 640 objections by local residents were submitted to not only the Authority, but also to Sydney solicitors Back

Schwartz Vaughan, who were collecting community submissions for the Community Impact Statement. ‘Did anyone out there ever receive an acknowledgement to their letter?’ she asked in a recent Mullumaction Newsletter. A spokesperson for LGCA said they ‘received no formal submissions Mullumbimby vets Richard Gregory and Jamie Lines say that vet pets ‘Kit’ regarding an application to remove and ‘Georgeous’ have little to fear from the Hendra virus but that pet owners continued on page 2 should take sensible precautions.

‘A killer weekend in Byron Bay,’ is the motivation behind The Byron Bay Surf Festival, to be held October 21 to 23. C o-organiser Vanessa Thompson says the festival won’t be competitive, but rather ‘a celebration surf culture’. Art shows are planned, as well as live music, surf films, workshops, surf culture markets, a ‘freestyle and stoke’ surf sessions at Wategos Beach, and a surf swap meet also at Wategos. To kick it all off, an art exhibition and mentoring program for kids called stART me up has been announced. Developed by artist James McMillan in conjunction with Retrospect Galleries and the festival, prizes are up for grabs in each category, including a six-month artist mentorship. Jimi Carle, pictured front, will be entering her artwork for this year’s Surf Festival, to be held See www.byronbaysurffesti- from October 21.

An additional clause is planned for inclusion into the Byron Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 1988, and is now open for public submission. The clause, available on council’s website, aims to define, assess and control outdoor music events. The 22-page document addresses land-use zones, limits on the number of major events per year, time restrictions on when they can occur, and assists in biodiversity conservation. Blues Fest director Peter Noble told The Echo the intention within the Byron 1988 LEP and the intent within the new LEP are diametrically opposite. ‘[Council’s] Ray Darney openly stated he could not see the current amendment on display being approved by the department of State Planning. ‘It would be construed as anti-competitive – under the Trade Practices Act,’ he said. Byron LEP 1988 Amendment No 151 submissions close on August 18, and should be addressed to PO Box 219, Mullumbimby 2482.

this week as ‘Dusty,’ a dog from Queensland, was put down voluntarily by his owners. The twoyear-old kelpie tested positive to Hendra virus antibodies. Richard says that the Queensland dog had shown to be producing antibodies to the virus, but not the presence of virus. ‘This means the dog has been exposed but there has been little or no multiplication of virus in the dogs tissues,’ he said. ‘There has been no experimental infection of dogs by Hendra virus under laboratory conditions so it is unlikely that dogs would become naturally infected. If anyone has a sick horse, the best thing to do is make sure their dogs and cats

have no exposure or contact with the horse to limit the unlikely event of their pets becoming infected. ‘Cats have been infected, but only under laboratory conditions; it does not occur naturally.’

No horse grazing under fig trees The Department of Primary Industries factsheet states clearly that cats, pigs and guinea pigs are susceptible, but that is under experimental conditions. Richard says the best way to prevent horses from getting ill is to keep them out of contact with the source of the disease – which is flying foxes.

Hendra virus claims Mullumbimby horse

MIGRATION ASSISTANCE

‘The golden principles are to make sure horses have no access to grazing under fig trees. If horses cannot be excluded from these paddocks then make sure the trees are fenced off. This also applies to flowering paperbarks, Silky Oaks and other melalleucas and grevilleas and of course fruit trees such as lilli pillies, mangoes, bananas and any other fruit trees attractive to flying foxes. ‘Make sure watering and feeding bins and stations are under cover in a shed or stall or barn if possible. Make sure horses have adequate feed to reduce the risk of ingesting fruit discarded by flying foxes and if horses display unusual

signs, for example depression, lethargy, stumbling gait, breathing problems or are ill, observe them from a distance and contact your vet.’ He says that if contact is unavoidable with sick horses, then minimise exposure to bodily fluids by wearing protective clothing like gloves, face masks and overalls. Once horse contact is concluded, shower with hot water and soap and change and wash clothes in detergent. Q Thursday, 7pm, at the Mullum Ex-Services Club, NSW DPI Regional Veterinary Officer Paul Freeman and North Coast Public Health Unit Assistant Director Greg Bell will hold an information meeting for horse owners about the virus.

She Loves Feathers says farewell A unique retail shop in Mullum is closing its doors. Selling art, clothing, homewares and hand-picked sacred objects from all over the world, She Loves Feathers had only been open since October 2010. Owner/operators Ian and Teri also planned to support local artists and designers through the shop, but tragically the couple’s plans were not to be. Teri was struck down by cancer on January 3 this year, much sooner then anyone expected. ‘She was the most amazing woman I have ever met,’ says Ian. ‘A true, genuine, earthwalking angel. She really was the real deal, which isn’t sur-

prising because she was registered as a non-denominational priestess, so she deliberately blessed everyone that she met. ‘The last six months in the shop have been absolutely amazing for me, and I want to thank everybody who has been a part of this journey. ‘From Lu Lu’s Café, The Lolly Shop, the neighbours and all the customers. Thank you all so much.’ For the next three weeks until August 20, She Loves Feathers will be selling all stock at half price, or at any reasonable offer. The shop is located at 108 Dalley Street Mullumbimby. Next to the Lolly Shop.

Byron United’s tourism campaign update Victoria Cosford

Sydney and Melbourne are the next targets for Byron United’s tourism campaign, Byron Naturally, if all goes according to plan. President of the Byron business chamber, Sevegne Newton, told The Echo that she was heading to Sydney in August to speak with Destination NSW as a follow-up to the first round of funding for the campaign. ‘We’ve already got twelve months’ worth of funding,’ she said, ‘but we’re still strongly

pushing for their support and to take the campaign to Sydney and Melbourne.’ That support, she hopes, would match the $180,000 so far received. Destination NSW is the new body formed through a merger of Tourism NSW and Events NSW, and its goal is to lure tourists and major events back to the state. Ms Newton told The Echo that Byron United is really pleased so far with the results of the Byron Naturally campaign. She said that they were en-

tering it in the NSW Tourism Awards later in the year. ‘We’re committed to the campaign for at least four years,’ she said. ‘We’re just hoping that those who supported us have enough confidence to do so again next year.’ The Byron Naturally website was launched in May. Its designer, Utopia Creative’s Adrian Nelson, told The Echo that to date the campaign had attracted 14,180 ‘unique visitors’, 21,327 hits to participating business microsites, 860 registered users and 49,467 page views to the website.

In addition over 600 Facebook ‘Likes’ in just over two months had been logged. ‘We continue to assess the campaign and make modifications to improve response rates and viewer experience,’ Mr Nelson said. ‘Videos for participating businesses are online and are providing great entertainment and exposure to businesses prior to visitors arriving.’ He said that the accommodation pages had had the most visits, followed by special offers, shopping and the online competition (500 entries).

Mullumbimby-born Bill Flowers was the eldest son of Bill and Elsie Flowers, who owned a farm property at New Brighton, as well as the general store. He was born October 22, 1922, and after finishing schooling at Murwillumbah High, he secured a job in Lismore as a trainee accountant in 1939. In World War 2 he flew 24 operational missions as a wireless-operator/air-gunner, and was awarded the ‘Mentioned in Despatches’ commendation. It was during this time, Bill married Gloria Walsh in Lismore, and after the war in 1946, Bill and Gloria settled in

menced at Mullumbimby Municipal Council. With three sons John, Robert and Geoffrey, and their new home in Byron Bay, Gloria became terminally ill and subsequently passed away leaving Bill to manage his career and his young family. In 1961, Bill met and married Esther and by 1966, they had become the joint owners of five sons and a daughter. John, Robert, Geoffrey, Janelle, Paul and David. Bill was indeed a family man and loved nothing better than to be surrounded by his offspring. Esther’s talents on the piano always set the scene for Bill’s en-

‘Every journalist has a novel in him, which is an excellent place for it.’ – Russel Lynes

The Lennox pub has just completed a million dollar renovation upstairs, transforming the old Ruby’s site into a combined restaurant and function facility. The Echo caught up with manager Troy Lister, just minutes before the Beef and Beach served its first customers. His excitement and exhaustion were both palpable as he described plans for the facility. ‘The 100-seat restaurant has full table service, and a menu designed around shared plates for entrĂŠe. Mains will serve up meats and seafood with a choice of accompaniments.’ says Lister. ‘Fridays will feature a steak and shiraz special, and Sunday afternoons free live jazz.’ It is the view, however, that commands the attention. Perched on the second floor, one sees an endless expanse of beach and ocean from Lennox Head to the northern tip of Seven Mile. The renovation has opened the venue up to the north, and on a winter afternoon the restaurant is drenched in sunlight. ‘They’re gonna love it,’ enthuses one of the restaurant’s first customers, while another wanders around gobsmacked. ‘My brief was to make the

most of the setting and make it family friendly,’ says designer Peter Turner, who included a disabled lift in the plans. On the environmental front, the refurbishment used recycled timbers on the decks but also installed halogen downlights instead of LEDs, the only visible flaw in an otherwise stunning fitout. ‘This facility will take Lennox to the next level,’ says Mr Lister, and it seems local businesses agree.

Lennox co-petition ‘I think it’ll be good for Lennox,’ says Ian Durance, ownermanager of Fishy Fishy. ‘A good pub can anchor a town the way the Beach Hotel does for Byron.’ He is referring to a notion that for a brief pe-

riod in the late 90s was called “co-petition� – the idea that businesses, while competing for customers, also co-operate in making the area more attractive as a whole. While Mr Lister may be happy to ‘co-pete’ with fellow restaurateurs in Lennox, the establishment is taking a more aggressive approach with the function centre. ‘Lennox Head looking to take on the traditional conference and wedding markets of Byron Bay and the Gold Coast,’ states their press release. The venue already has 12 bookings and hopes to build to 100 functions a year. ‘It’s a unique proposition; our location and service is premium, but in terms of price it’s reasonable.’

Wedding stats With around 120,000 weddings in Australia per annum, the wedding industry is worth $4.5 billion dollars annually, according to www.amazingaustralia.com.au. Figures are not available on what chunk our region captures, but anecdotally ‘destination weddings’ are a fast-rising trend, and Byron Shire and the Gold Coast are in the top five destinations. At a Beef and Beach wedding, one could easily imagine a new scenario for ‘Do you take so and so to be your lawfully married spouse? ‘I think so, Um, hang on a minute, I just want to see this wave come through.

Monks inspect Stupa development Laura-Doe Harris

The Gyuto Monks have returned to their ‘home-base’ in Rosebank for a couple of days between gigs around the country with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It was also a chance to see where the stupa’s construction is currently up to. ‘This stupa is very important for Byron Bay, the whole of Australia and for world peace,’ says Gen Lama Thupten Phuntsok, the Gyuto Monk elder who is guiding its construction. Since May last year, Nepalese craftsmen have been hand-beating the 54 brass prayer wheels that will surround the stupa. Over the past six months, at the Gyuto Monastery in India, monks have been chanting mantras and hand-rolling an incredible half a ton of prayers destined for the monument. Blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama – as well as the Byron Shire Council who have approved its DA – the structure has been engineered to ‘last a thousand years’. Involvement of the local community is an essential part of creating a stupa, as this is one of the sources of its power. The whole project is now estimated to cost around $200,000, and the Crystal Castle has already

The next $30,000 raised will be matched by both locals Christopher and Lynda Dean, and also the Crystal Castle, thus growing it to $90,000.

The tree to be used for the Tree of Life was found, blessed and felled in a dawn ceremony in May during the monks’ previous visit. The much-maligned camphor laurel was chosen for its durability, strength and longlasting protective scent qualities ideal for its purpose in the stupa. The monks will also be accepting relevant items to be placed in the stupa treasury.

BayFM turns 21 with cash on offer

Bruns gateway sign gets funding

Byron Shire’s community radio station BayFM is celebrating 21 years of independent broadcasting, and this week just launched its major subscriber drive, from August 8 to 21. It’s perhaps the biggest prize on offer yet: $10,000 in cash. It’s all thanks to generous sponsors The Byron Bay Brewery, The Byron Bay Blues Fest, Possum Creek Eco Lodge, The Rails and The Great Northern. ‘It’s the kind of prize that could substantially impact on someone’s life’, said BayFM President Ros Elliott. ‘There are also 14 daily prizes valued at $500 or more on offer. It’s our way of rewarding subscribers for their support of BayFM, which is such an important and unique voice in our community.’ MP Don Page launched the drive at the newly re-opened Pass Cafe, with his own trip down BayFM’s memory lane. In the very early days he was instrumental in helping to se-

The Tweed St Taskforce at Brunswick Heads has received $5000 through NSW Trade & Investment towards the design, production and installation of a village gateway sign for Brunswick Heads. Community input into the development of the design brief and location is welcomed. Place your suggestions for location, materials, design and sign content in the comment box at the Visitor Centre. Ideas are welcomed until Monday August 15.

us to give back to Byron Shire’s own and only radio station and to wish BayFM congratulations on 21 years of distinctive and diverse broadcasting.’ BayFM is available locally at 99.9FM and streaming online at www.bayfm.org. You can subscribe to BayFM online at bayfm.org or call 6680 7999.

Authorities say to keep clear of seal pups that may be resting on beaches in the Northern Rivers. NPWS Acting Regional Manager, Roger Mills, said that it was quite common for seals to ‘haul-out’ and rest on beaches and rock platforms, but that they should not be approached under any circumstances. Mr Mills added the animals can become agressive if approached.

When festivals meet art: A Splendid Think Tank Victoria Cosford

A festival as an experimental playground? Is this the future of festivals, or a function of the restless human spirit which needs increasing doses of novelty to stay engaged? Questions like these will be addressed in August at a twoday event in Lismore called Splendid Think Tank. Another drawcard to the region to tie in with Splendour in the Grass and the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival, Think Tank will see some of Australia’s best-known festival directors and contemporary artists coming together for workshops, discussions and presentations. It is part of the larger Splendid initiative, now in its third year. Given the strong history in the Northern Rivers of developing and establishing some of Australia’s best-loved arts and music festivals, it is fitting that Splendid Think Tank will

be held in the region. One presenter will be Brian Ritchie. Curator of MONA FOMA (Museum of Old and New Art Festival of Music and Art in Hobart), Brian is also a founding member of the US alternative group Violent Femmes, and will be joined by director/CEO of Perth’s ARTRAGE Festival Marcus Canning; artist and curator of Splendour in the Grass Craig Walsh and CEO of Sydney’s Carriageworks Lisa Havilah. Triple J producer and writer Craig Schuftan is involved in Think Tank, and says of it that there is a strong argument for putting cutting-edge art in popular places like music festivals. ‘One of the problems with art... is that you have to go to an art gallery to see it, and a lot of people today just don’t do that...’ Splendid producer Carli Leimbach told The Echo that it was a public event and that everyone was invited to attend.

She said that whereas the Splendid initiative involves the creative development and commissioning of new works by young and emerging artists, there is no age limit for Think Tank. ‘We really wanted to open it up to the wider community,’ she said. ‘It’s also to benefit the local area. It’s a great opportunity for people to gain access to all these international presenters, to come and talk about art in the festival context. ‘It’s really an opportunity for the artistic community to get exposure and to meet in an informal way.’ The event will be held at Lismore City Hall on August 4 and 5 and will provide an arena wherein both artists and festival organisers can share in the latest thinking and creative works in the field. It was developed by partner organisations Lismore Regional Gallery, NORPA and Arts Northern Rivers, and is sup-

ported by Splendour in the Grass and the Australia Council for the Arts through their Opportunities for Young and Emerging Artists Program. More information can be found on the website splendid. org.au.

Fred Nile is treating the industrial legislation not on its merits but as a lever to pursue his pet obsession. by Mungo MacCallum His conduct is probably no worse than that of many singleissue independents in the past (another religious fanatic, Senator Brian Harradine, comes to mind), but there is a particular irony in that he claims to be acting in the cause of truth and morality. Instituting a code which would include the clause suggested above would probably not make the Niles of this world behave any better, but it might at least alert the voters to their transgressions and their hypocrisy. The problem is of course that, as many of our more rational politicians have pointed out, you can’t legislate for virtue and decency and those who try invariably come a cropper. Take the case of government advertising. One would have thought that a minimum requirement should be that government advertising should tell the truth; but this is not so.

passed by parliament; it was simply a policy the Libs were pursuing. And even the most well-meaning reforms to the process do not last. Kevin Rudd promised to introduce stringent new controls, but as soon as he got into serious trouble with the mining tax, threw them out again: if the miners were not going to play by the rules he was buggered if his government was either. And then there is the perpetually vexed issue of ministerial conduct – is there any point in trying to control it? Well not if the Howard government was any example. In 1996 Howard came to office promising the strictest, most ethical set of standards ever to be imposed on any ministry anywhere. And indeed, it was pretty tough – so tough that in the first few months Howard had to sack a couple of junior ministers for rorting their travel allowances and a senior staff member who got caught up in the process. The political cost was high,

and somehow the much vaunted code drifted into abeyance. Other more senior ministers involved in blatant conflicts of interest and share dealings specifically forbidden by the code escaped unscathed; after all, Howard explained soothingly, they hadn’t actually broken the law – or if they had they hadn’t been caught. And the code was only to be taken as a set of guidelines. Well, perhaps a set of guidelines would be better than nothing; at least we would know when the politicians broke them. The media, of course, already have several such codes, and from time to time the press council or independent outlets such as Crikey and Mediawatch alert us to the breaches. But unless something on the scale of the News of the World scandal erupts, no one takes much notice. Australians don’t really expect ethics from their media and the more the pundits rant and posture, the lower they fall in public estimation. And while the politicians aren’t exactly models of rectitude either, the media have played a big part in dragging them down. When the radio stations put nutters to air with calls for the murder of the prime minister and her colleagues and when their pack leader Alan Jones is allowed to advocate drowning Julia Gillard and Bob Brown in a chaff bag, things are unlikely to improve. Fortunately the really dangerous people don’t listen to them – at least not yet. The Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik did not even give Jones a mention in his list of political mentors; he preferred far more respectable sources, such as John Howard and Cardinal George Pell. He may have been a homicidal maniac, but he wasn’t completely silly.

Letters

Like Ryan Kelso (Letters, July 26) I have only positive comments regarding the Lennox skate park. My two sons and their friends frequently skate there and I have been impressed by the way young people of all abilities and ages are able to work cooperatively so everyone gets a fair go. I am saddened that people of my generation (and older) are so quick to see negativity when young people are involved. In a time where there is concern about the amount of time young people are spending on passive electronic pursuits, you would think adults would be celebrating to see so many out exercising and socialising in

the fresh air and sunshine. Ryan is right: the skaters are generating lots of business for the local food shops, and generating lots of rubbish. Clearly more bins are needed. As I walk through Lennox each weekend I see bins overflowing with rubbish in all the places families enjoy – at the Lake, in Ross Park, at the Surf Club – but I have never seen a letter or article in the paper complaining about this. Yet the same problem at the skate park receives lots of negative publicity aimed at our young people. I was bemused that Rod Dawson from Ballina Council could not understand why the Lennox skate park needs more

Governance

today? If so, it means that we just have to work harder – and be conscious of our history – to make the transition to a more sustainable, resilient and selfsufficient community.

Your editorial ‘Empowering locals’ (Echo, July 26) raises an interesting point of historical governance. Since 1788 selfgoverning, sustainable communities have not been a major feature of mainstream Australia. Indeed since its start, white Australia has had a top-down system of governance – a central government arrived and pre-existing sustainable, selfregulating communities were pushed aside. In contrast, in older societies such as the UK, central government evolved – over centuries and with much skulduggery, fisticuffs and false starts – from self-governing, self-regulating social units such as family groups, tribes, hamlets, manors, near self-sufficient townships etc. Is it too strong to conclude that the idea of self-regulation for local communities is not part of the Australian psyche

This sporting life

The Echo reports that Council intends to charge sporting users in Byron Shire. A rough count of sports clubs affected in the Shire yields approximately 20, comprising soccer, Aussie Rules, hockey, netball, cricket, tennis and rugby union. (The rugby league clubs in the Shire are in the unenviable position of having to finance, maintain and insure their own grounds, which they own.) Council’s example cites that a typical charge would be $660. Twenty clubs paying $660 would yield Council $13,200. How far would that go? Would it be enough to pay

Wake up, guys, let’s pull together and deal with the dogs, and (I’ll probably be shot for saying this) realise that not all bats are endangered and could do with a bit of a culling so we can get on top of this before it becomes the Black Plague of the new millennium.

Hell’s Belles and real estate In the twenty years since I first arrived in the ‘love capital’ of Australia I have seen more unethical and illegal business behaviour than anywhere else in my working life; hence regardless of the eventual outcome of the current Belle franchise saga, the allegations unfortunately do not surprise me. Most noticeable though is the apparent response from Peter Hanscomb (Belle’s national chief executive), who was quick to close down the ‘offending’ operation (remind you of anyone else? Hint: he used to be an Australian) and then is seemingly at pains to avoid acknowledging any responsibility for the debacle. Interestingly the franchise industry has many obligations under the Competition & Consumer Act 2010 (defined in the

Franchising Code of Conduct); however, this is essentially to ensure fair dealing between the franchisor and the franchisee. A franchisor has little liability it would appear – other than presumably under common law – for the nefarious acts of a franchisee, or indeed responsibility to ensure due diligence in background checks on prospective franchisees. Given that for all intents and purposes a franchise is effectively a ‘branch’ of the business and the franchisee a ‘quasiemployee’ who has simply bought themselves a job for a fixed term, this seems strange. Such avoidance of liability and responsibility would be impossible in a normal business scenario. The hefty price typically paid to purchase a franchise, plus

the ongoing fees, commissions and cooperative funds that flow upwards, ensure the arrangement is effectively be a legalised Ponzi scheme for any shonky franchisor. Such operators can also rest assured the ACCC – who are responsible for enforcing the Code of Conduct – guarantee that ‘not all complaints are pursued’ (their words!). Obviously, not all franchisors are the same and I am sure some operate quite ethically. Therefore I have no doubt that Peter Hanscomb will be keen to ensure that Belle is seen to do the right thing and will remedy this situation with as little heel-dragging as possible. Peter Morgan

Nature of power

With growing unease, and increasing anxieties, some believe, quite innocently, that modernity in all its forms is the cause of many of the problems confronting humanity. This is very understandable considering the nature-worshiping folk who wish to return to a romantic, idealistic past. What intrigues me is the non-political nature of many of these perspectives being promulgated as humanitiy’s salvation, idealising traditional societies and indigenous people as living in a harmonious state with nature prior to the intrusion of the ‘modern’ world, all the while being oblivious to the entrenched power dynamics in a capitalist market economy – capital and labour, and the environment as a throughput commodity in economic profitable terms. The context of this underpins the critical juncture humanity is at – fragile world economy post GFC and the unabated global environmental crises, USA on the brink of default,

international response to continuing environmental problems, that is inextricably linked to the world economy. These same idealists believe a change in consumer ethics and values are drivers of this change, naively believing that developing proper eco–ethics will fundamentally change the social, economic system. This is misguided at least, and erroneous. Globally inequality continues, a symptom of a capitalist system, and according to a new report by Merrill Lynch and Capgemini, the world’s wealthiest are getting wealthier by the day. ‘High net worth individuals’ around the world reached $42.7 trillion in 2010, rising nearly ten per cent from 2009 and surpassing the peak of $40.7 trillion reached in 2007. As an international awardwinning author and now political activist, Arundhati Roy raises the issues of abject poverty of the ‘other’ India – 700– 800 million people left behind in the market economy and who now are identifying with the political Maoists in violent struggle.

Analysis

Belle case rings wider alarm for Byron Shire Exclusive holiday letting hurting affordability as houses become investments Ray Moynihan

pened to the money missing from the real estate agency’s trust funds, and at this point it’s unclear how long that process will take. In the meantime it’s emerged that a number of people involved in buying or selling through Belle’s Byron office are less than satisfied with the experience, and a number of people and businesses are owed varying amounts of money. For her part Sarah Dougan has consistently denied any intentional wrongdoing and maintained she has not benefitted personally from any irregularities. She’s argued the agency trust funds were ‘put out of whack by a major property settlement’ – though she’s offered no details of who was involved in that settlement or why it went wrong.

If you’ve been a little confused in recent weeks reading about the collapse of Byron’s upmarket Belle real estate agency – don’t worry, you’re not alone. Sometimes it’s got the feeling of an episode of Sea Change, though in this case there aren’t a lot of people laughing. First, let’s be clear on a few facts. When the young real estate financier Sarah Dougan set up the Belle franchise in Byron last year, she came with what people saw as impeccable credentials – a successful background in financing real estate deals and a reference from within a leading investment bank. According to one Belle insider, part of the plan was to introduce former clients from the big city to invest in Byron property via the Belle fran- Real estate deals chise, to bring in ‘new blood’ So what sort of financial and ‘new people’ which would prove ‘advantageous’ to the ‘lo- and real estate deals was Sarah Dougan trying to put together? cal market’.

they suggest investing in real estate can be a complicated affair. The other context for all this is the timing, and the period since Belle’s arrival in Byron has corresponded with something of a downturn in prices, due to a range of global factors. Whatever the reasons, a number of people are clearly unhappy because the private deals they were hoping to profit from have failed. Yet perhaps there are also wider public-interest questions here too, about the way longer-term changes in the property market may be affecting Byron Bay. What used to be residential streets are fast becoming financial factories for remote investors. What were once homes for families are now sold off as luxury holiday-letting businesses that can generate $4,000 a week. These changes in the real estate market are much bigger than Belle’s Byron office and its ‘irregularities’, but while those trends may be global, their impacts are felt very much locally.

that Byron and surrounds– like houses themselves – have simultaneously become places to live and places to invest, aided and abetted by Australia’s tax rules that encourage investment in property rather than potentially more productive businesses. It was only a few months ago when housing affordability expert Professor Julian Disney told a forum in Byron that wealthy mansions – which often sit empty much

of the year – were akin to ‘onshore tax havens.’ The tension is between seeing this beachside paradise primarily as a ‘property market’, or a community of people, placed within a wider social and physical environment. Again, that’s a tension being felt in towns and cities all over the world, and it’s one that won’t be resolved any time soon. For now, local attention is focused on the outcome of

investigations by the Office of Fair Trading. Peter Hanscomb, chief executive of Belle nationally, is understandably worried about the impact of all this on the Belle name. ‘I really look forward to the results of the Fair Trading investigation,’ he said last week, ‘to clear up exactly what’s happened.’ No doubt a lot of people are looking forward to knowing exactly what happened.

Housing crisis ‘Anything affecting affordability of housing is a concern to local residents,’ says Paul Spooner, the general manager of the Byron Community Centre, who’s acutely aware of the crisis in affordability in the area, particularly for renters. ‘It seems holiday letting is no longer just about beachside houses for families, but rather steep profits from property deals.’ Paul Spooner has previously raised concerns that a lack of diversity may leave Byron sterile, and he’s running a campaign to try to build more affordable housing in the town. ‘I don’t think Byron houses should be seen as a property roulette wheel,’ he said.

Bellicose Israel

Jews and non-Jews who criticise Israel’s illegal and inhuman

policies toward the Palestinian people are accused of delegitimising Israel and denying its right to exist (‘Think tank: Israel faces global delegitimisation campaign’, Haaretz, July 14). However, Israel does not question how its own flouting of international law delegitimises it, but there are voices within the Israeli establishment like Meir Dagan, the former head of Israel’s spy agency, Mossad, who described the Netanyahu government as ‘irresponsible and reckless’ for its bellicose stance toward Iran and for its failure to seriously address a peaceful settlement with the Palestinians. Israel’s self-delegitimisation

is highlighted by its extrajudicial assassinations like that attempted on Mashal Khaled. Mossad agents using Canadian passports (not Australian this time) injected a lethal nerve toxin into Mashal’s ear but were caught and held in custody by Jordanian security. King Hussein and Bill Clinton pressured Netanyahu to hand over the antidote which only just saved Mashal’s life. It’s not just foreign adventurism that typifies Israel’s reckless and illegitimate behaviour. Currently protest has erupted in Israel over the Boycott legislation passed by the Knesset which makes it illegal for anyone to express support

for the BDS campaign. Thirtytwo law professors have signed a condemnation arguing that it is unconstitutional and a threat to free speech. On top of this we have the deportation from Tel Aviv of 39 ‘Welcome to Palestine’ participants and the arrest and detainment of Australians Sylvia Hale and Vivienne Porzolt who have won a legal stay on their deportation. It remains to be seen whether our proIsrael foreign minister, Kevin Rudd, will comply with international law and afford consular assistance to the two women. The great tragedy in all this is that Islamic and Judaic bigots are responsible for untold

suffering. Both Palestinians and Israelis need liberation from Zionism and its Islamic counterpart. Australia should take the initiative in the UN for the international community to adjudicate and implement a resolution to the Israel/Palestine conflict even if many toes are stepped on. Let’s remember ‘irresponsible and reckless’ Israel’s 200+ atomic weapons and the threat of world-engulfing conflagration they pose. Gareth W R Smith

instruments of government so that maximum benefits are experienced by the electorate as a whole. The Gross National Product (GNP) is ostensibly to satisfy the needs of another GNP, the Gross National Population. ( I drew that out of the hat!, but the fact remains.) It follows therefore, that every factor involved in such production should be applied to that purpose. Is this the case? Today, even the proverbial ‘blind Freddie’ recognises that it is not the case. We are now being told by well-paid politicians that times are going to be tough! Why so? Everyone wishes to be consumers, are certainly willing to consume. Unfortunately, the population is expected to surrender wealth (money) before they can have access to our nation’s real wealth. That seems like a fair deal, except that most of us have a job, by which we are paid in token wealth. Another snag in this scheme is that industrial progress (automated machinery, and those wonderful computers) make a job for everyone simply impossible. This situation inflicts economic hardship and social misery on increasing numbers of our population, a situation which is completely unacceptable, and is going to worsen. Next point to investigate is where does this wonderful token wealth originate? In the private banks, that’s where. All governments and entrepeneurs obtain financial credits from the banks, on the proviso that the credit issued, plus interest, will be repaid. But here is the interesting point: when the bank makes such token wealth available, it does not part with anything; no dollar bills, no gold (coloured) or silver, or base metals, nothing! It makes a record in its ledgers, or on computers. We have a facility, which used to be called the Commonwealth Bank (which the nation owned) now called the Reserve Bank of Australia, which has the power to issue any amount of credit we require, incurring little or no debt, if that latter point is considered desirable! What if our Reserve Bank issued new credits to the unemployed, approximating to what they previously earned at work? They could continue purchasing their share of our GNP, which after all, is what is intended for such production. I appreciate fully the opposition which will come from the financial sector, but we must treat it with the same considerate treatment it has dispensed to the populations of our world. Charity begins at home. We must make our egocentric politicians aware of this necessity. Jim Innes

Research puts Alzheimer’s in spotlight Southern Cross University researchers are seeking volunteers to help with a groundbreaking study investigating factors in the brain that contribute to the degenerative process in Alzheimer’s disease. Belinda Smith from the University’s School of Health and Human Sciences, who is undertaking the project as part of a PhD in psychology, said the aim of the research was to provide evidence of a new way to detect early warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease and monitor its progress. ‘Eye tracking equipment has been used for the past few decades, leading to robust findings that have correlated eye movement performance with specific brain regions, the same brain regions affected in people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease,’ Ms Smith said. ‘If we can provide for an early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease we can commence treatments earlier to stabilise the degenerative process and help improve someone’s quality of life. ‘My study is one of the first to look at cognitive decline over time using eye tracking equipment.’ The study, which has been approved by the University’s Human Research Ethics Committee, is seeking participants over 65 years of age with a current diagnosis of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. A control group made up of people who are over 65 and without any neurological injury is also sought. Two sessions, six months apart, will take place at South-

At the moment 12 per cent of our population is aged over 65 years but that will rise to 25 per cent by 2050.’ Ms Smith said the federal government had recognised Alzheimer’s disease as a growing health problem and was putting more resources into researching preventive treatments and early diagnosis.

The session will take approximately two hours and morning or afternoon tea will be provided. Participants with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis are asked to attend with a partner, relative, friend or carer. Ms Smith said the eye movement tasks were straightforward and similar to a visual field test. ‘Eye movement tasks are non-invasive and also language free. Individuals will simply perform eye move-

ments by following circles on a screen. ‘Through eye movement performance we can look at the cognitive control of behaviour, such as memory processes, inhibition and attention, all of which are tied into the diagnostic criteria of Alzheimer’s disease.’ Ms Smith said experts warn dementia is the epidemic of the 21st century. ‘Worldwide there is an increase in dementia rates. Currently dementia is the third leading cause of death in Australia and by the year 2050 it is expected to rise to be the leading cause of death in this country. ‘Rates are rising because of our increased life expectancy.

Southern Cross University has joined the arts community in paying a warm tribute to Margaret Olley, one of Australia’s finest artists and a strong supporter of the University and the Northern Rivers. Dr Olley, who received an Honorary Doctorate from Southern Cross University in 2007, died in her home in Sydney on July 26. Margaret Olley was born in Lismore on June 24, 1923. During an Occasional Address she gave at the Lismore campus, she spoke of her life growing up in the Northern Rivers region – travelling all day on dirt roads in a car without any glass windows to visit Byron Bay, meeting in the Lismore town square on Friday night when it was the buzzing hub of community life and growing up on a farm at Horseshoe Creek, near Kyogle. With a career that spanned more than 50 years and a critically acclaimed body of works, she is regarded as Australia’s most important 20th century interior and still life painter. Dr Olley exhibited extensively throughout Australia and in London and Paris and her works are included in collections at the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Tasmanian Museum. She has received nu-

merous art prizes including the prestigious Helena Rubinstein Portrait Prize, awarded to her in 1962. In 1991 she was appointed an officer of the Order of Australia and in 1992 Life Governor of the Art Gallery of NSW. In 1997

she was declared an Australian National Treasure. In 2006 she was appointed Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for service as one of Australia’s most distinguished artists, for support and philanthropy to the visual

and performing arts, and for encouragement of young and emerging artists. She was the subject of this year’s winning Archibald Prize portrait by Ben Quilty and in 1948 sat for William Dobell’s prize-winner. Dr Olley remained a strong supporter of the arts in the Northern Rivers and was an advocate for the development of a regional gallery, telling University graduates that when ‘arts are flourishing in a community that is a very healthy community’. SCU Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Lee said, ‘Margaret Olley was one of the great characters of the Australian arts community and will be remembered not only for her talent, but also as a philanthropist and mentor.’

Birthing film screens in the Bay A documentary about birthing options that has attracted more than 300,000 YouTube hits around the world will screen in Byron Bay later this month. In the film, A Breech in the System, local filmmaker Karin Ecker shares her personal journey of giving birth to a breech baby. This is an inspiring documentary about her desire to birth naturally despite medical opinion that she must have a caesarean section. The film, which screened to packed audiences in Byron last year, will screen on August 9 at Big Fish in Jonson Street to raise funds for Karin’s next

educational project. A Breech in the System has found its way into colleges and universities throughout Australia and around the world. It was developed to educate pregnant women and health professionals about breech birthing choices and has already been sold to 15 countries. ‘Since sharing my story, I have heard met many women and health professionals who have faced similar challenges to natural birth for political, social, cultural or medical reasons,’ Karin said. ‘Generally speaking, women worldwide have had to navi-

gate their way through a maze of perspectives, opinions and information in order to determine “natural” birth options. It can be so difficult to find the information needed to make an informed decision.’ A Breech in the System will screen at 7pm, doors open 6.30pm, at Big Fish near Dendy Cinema. Karin and Lesley Barclay from the Northern Rivers Department of Rural Health will hold a Q&A after the film. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased on the night or before by contacting Karin at 0410 395 368.

health & beauty WALK Y YOUR O WAY TO HEALTH BENEFITS Walking is a low-impact activity that offers many health beneďŹ ts. It’s good for your heart, joints, muscles and bones. It’s free, requires no training or special equipment, and is generally a safe way to exercise. However, there are safety and environmental issues to consider, especially if you choose to walk in parks or reserves that offer difficult terrain or long trails. General suggestions on reducing the risk of injury while walking include: Ä…Ĺ—Ĺ— -Ĺ— ++-*+-$ / Ĺ—!**/2 -Ĺ—/*Ĺ—- 0 Ĺ—/# Ĺ—-$.&Ĺ— of blisters or shin splints.

Need help with your skin? If you suffer from eczema, acne, dermatitis or other skin conditions, there can be underlying causes that natural medicine can relieve and resolve. Liver and kidneys not detoxifying well or sluggish bowels and lymphatics may produce a ‘backlog of toxins’ that can cause rashes or acne. Emotional stresses, hormonal imbalances and diet also influence the health of your skin. Herbalist Lynette Tyrrell studied at the Dorothy Hall College of Herbal Medicine and for the past four years has been practising at the Rainbow Health Centre in Lismore treating clients with a wide range of acute and chronic health issues. She is now practising at NCMC, focusing on skin conditions. If you would like to improve the health of your skin, call Lynette now on 0432 533 686.

JORDIE TIX We have two double passes to see Jordie Lane at the Mullum Civic Hall on Saturday, if you email gigs@echo. net.au with subject header ‘Jordie tix’ then you could be spending an evening with the delightful Mr Lane!

When you are recording an album how do you develop a concept for the production and treatment for the music‌ what did you do with Note To Self? Basically I grew a beard, stayed in my pyjamas, got down on my hands and knees and listened very carefully. The songs will tell you how they want to be dressed and who they want to hang out with. Because I work alone I usually start with a sound that is evocative of what I’m trying to convey, which helps segue beautifully into your next question. By the way you look great. Tell me about Blue Falcon. Were you driving behind one when you realised she was your soulmate? I wanted to write a song about my old car car. She was a timeless classic. I wanted the song to sound like something that would be playing on her radio when she rolled off the assembly line‌ same as Oh Las Vegas, I wanted the music to sound like a poker machine‌thanks, Casio‌ How has the music of James Cruickshank changed over the past decade? I can hear subtle changes in my voice and more confidence as a songwriter‌ and the ability to go as fast as I want. I’m at best glacial. Does music grow old with you? I don’t mean that in an insulting way, but as we get older you get a sense of what matters, what has value; you’re less inclined to be flashy etc (one hopes)‌ does that happen creatively as well? Maybe music grows up with you. You stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just let life and the music that’s in it take over. You stop being so self-interested. Death becomes a reality. I am at last prepared to stand emotionally naked in a room full of strangers for the purposes of entertainment. How would you describe yourself now? Happy becoming‌ As you can tell, readers, I’m locally grown organic produce. Think of my gig as a kind of musical farmers market. What was it you set out to achieve with NTS? Did you feel you got that at the end, or was it different? Well, Mandy, that’s a tough one. For me the great thing about creating is finding yourself in completely new

territory‌ being scared with the unfamiliar but having the courage to press on and not abandon ship‌ So I’m still sailing‌ tied to a mast. The destination was ‘lost’. I did get there‌ It’s a beautiful album cover (and album too, BTW). I can’t work out whether in that pic that guy is in complete surrender or he’s going to kill himself. Which is it? Can it be both? Ah sweet mystery. The painting was courtesy of my dear friend the artist and local cabaret legend Michelle Dawson. How do you go about writing a song? Firstly don’t be scared.

How have you found audiences in the USA ? Amazing. Obviously there are a few big cultural differences, but on the whole they are such earnest and warm and inviting people; that’s what you feel when you are on stage to.

*]LLPI *IZ <PIQ :M[\I]ZIV\ Over 300 seats in the biggest & best Thai restaurant in Byron Bay

How has your time there influenced Blood Thinner? Completely that’s what Blood Thinner is; it wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t go over there, the recording wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t go over there for a holiday. It wasn’t planned. A series of circumstances brought me to the Joshua Tree Desert and more specifically Room 8 at the Joshua Tree Inn. At no point in the first stages of recording did I actually think or realise I was making an album. That’s part of the beauty of this recording because it was such a free form of creating, as there where no pressures or expectations. I had not formed that idea in my head; therefore I had nothing to fear or nothing to live up to. It was just me in a room, experimenting and hitting things. Why Blood Thinner; you’re not suffering from Thrombosis? Once when I was travelling in South-East Asia I got really sick and they prescribed me with blood thinners, but more importantly to say ‘no salt’ in Vietnamese. This really relates to some pills I found in LA late one night. When you were recording you used implements as instruments. What was it about the sounds you where capturing that added to your recording? It wasn’t so much an idea of toys, it wasn’t about stylistic choices, and it was about necessity and what I had at my disposal. I was trying to recreate sounds that might be found in a studio with a band. I didn’t have the resources and found this process organic and raw and it represented the concept of the record well. It sounds like you get very creative during the recording process; it is hard to get a fix on just how to hang all your songs together? Yes, it was very hard in the later stages to pull them all together. It was here that Tom Biller – Producer / Engineer – became invaluable. He was there from the beginning as a mentor and guide, but in the final months we worked in his garage studio, and that is where the songs took shape and became an album. His production techniques were amazing. Are there ever times when you are halfway through a concept of how you’re recording, and you go, no, turn back‌ or does it pay off to persist and push through the clunks? Yes, with this recording I originally recorded the whole thing in a three-week visit on my first trip to America, but it was three months back home in Australia that planted the seeds of doubt. I

in fact did go back to the beginning of my songs and re-recorded much of the initial ones. Do you have clunks? Yes, when I got back to the States I had two weeks of doing nothing but eating, sleeping and worrying. This time I knew I was recording an album and I did feel some pressure, but I pushed through and we got there. What songs from the album Blood Thinner are you happiest with? The last two songs that I wrote and recorded Old Time Spell and I Sinned Today, I felt they had better production techniques. Sonically they are the strongest tracks. You love telling a good yarn. Where do you find these stories‌ on roadsides, in bars‌ Do they come to you, or are you a bit of a fossicker? I love to experience new things, new people and new places as much as possible; this gives me an endless amount of stories to work with, and this excites me about life. What should we expect for the Mullum show? The unexpected. With Mike Noga – The Drones, and the guys, there are varying influences of various styles, so every night has been completely different. Blood Thinner is out now through Vitamin Records. You can catch Jordie live on Saturday at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. $16 or $20 at the door.

Mandy Nolan

PUTTING FUN ON YOUR BUCKET LIST I’ve been trying to convince my teenage daughter to get a parttime job. There have been few deposits into the Mummy bank and far too many withdrawals. Every weekend it’s ‘Can I have $50 to go into Byron,’ or ‘Can I have some money for new mascara,’ or ‘I need phone credit,’ ‘I want to see a movie’. Keeping three teenage girls is sending me bankrupt. Even though they’re at the peak of their earthly beauty, my daughters are all high-maintenance young women. It takes them an hour to get ready for school each morning, and that’s just hair and makeup. They don’t bother making lunch. Why would you – it not only wastes precious make-over time, food makes you fat. Hair irons, foundation, eyeliner, push-up bras, piercings, requests for acrylic nails‌ their superficial demands are endless. At night I weep ‘Lord why didn’t you send me at least one lesbian! A set of golf clubs would have seen her through puberty!’ It’s not just their sense of entitlement that gets my ire, or their complete lack of gratitude, it’s the fact that all my feminist ideologies are dogged by my daughters’ unquestioning approach to being women. There is no analysis, no trail blazing; no, we have three sheep. Three very expensive ‘hot’ sheep. Apparently being ‘hot’ is very important. I told them ‘Grandma’s hot too you know‌ she’s menopausal’. The conversation about the job doesn’t go very well. Zoe just looks at me with panda-ringed eyes and declares ‘When I grow up I’m not going to be one of those people who works. I am going

to be one of those people who has fun!’ Great, another one for Centrelink. Let’s see how much fun you have on $200 a week. In fact it seems that’s what my teenagers seem most focused on – ‘fun’. The hormone-fuelled sojourn from childhood to adulthood seems to offer a smorgasbord of fun: parties, booze, drugs, hot boys‌ My daughter moans ‘I just want to do what I want’. Really? So did Hitler, and that didn’t go terribly well for over six million Jews, and he still didn’t get his sociopathic fill. It’s so hard to explain to a teenager why you can’t do whatever you want. You just can’t. I remember my mother telling me that when I was a teenager and I remember thinking she was completely crazy. It wasn’t until I was older that I realised that fun actually becomes extremely dull, and people who have fun all the time even duller. Take note of the balding 50-year-old at a club full of 20-year-olds and you’ll know what I mean. Fun is only fun when the work is done. Too much fun implodes on itself, becoming a downhill slalom ride straight to hell. Just ask poor old Amy Winehouse. I tried to explain to my daughter that fun really is fun and has maximum value if you also have a life that includes things that aren’t fun. That by doing things that aren’t necessarily fun you get a deeper sense of satisfaction; this is longterm stuff, fun is short term and can be dissolved under your tongue at a beach doof party. Sadly you’ll still wake up depressed on Monday.

Fun is fun now but ultimately unfulfilling. If fun was sex then it would be a quick, dirty one-night stand with a stranger. Which is fine, but if it’s all you do then you’d be a complete mole. When I want to have fun I don’t clean the toilet or file my tax return. I do these things because they are the boring requirements that create the fabric of our life where alongside joy and fun there is expectation and duty and struggle. I never thought I’d ever say it, but in that journey there is a sense of self-reliance and accomplishment that is deeply gratifying. It’s actually better than fun. There is a Zen saying ‘before enlightenment: chop wood carry water. After enlightenment: chop wood carry water’. People who don’t chop wood or carry water lose the plot. Clearly my daughter thought I was nuts. How could there be anything wrong with wanting to have fun all the time? In my parental struggle to inspire, communicate with or control my children I had an epiphany. The dog had just returned from an operation at the vet and was wearing a bucket to stop him from gnawing at his wound. Dogs wear buckets because they have no self-control. They are idiots. Just like teenagers. Teenagers should wear buckets! One for their heads to stop them ironing their hair or sculling vodka or performing random acts of fellatio, one for their hands to make Facebooking, tagging bus shelters and glassing their girlfriends impossible, and finally a bucket for their genitals. And that's my Bucket List!

Mungo’s Crossword

Mercury’s second retrograde this year in the sign of critics clashes spectacularly with this week’s planets in the sign of the easily miffed…

WITH LILITH

E ARIES: The flamboyant sun hanging around your house of fun for most of this month brings hilarity, high spirits and creative spontaneity. But edgy, defensive Mars challenges you to curb that competitive urge and aim for outcomes where others get to look and feel good too. F TAURUS: August is about endings and beginnings: finalising unfinished business and checking out new directions. Retro Mercury helps separate what’s valuable from what’s not worth the effort and expense of pursuing. If others are critical this week, choose which feedback’s worth considering and forget the rest. G G EMINI: August’s planetary emphasis for Geminis is on what you’re best at: innovative, attention-getting ideas. You’re confident and articulate but communication’s fraught with misunderstandings, especially in situations involving critical feedback, so keep it kind or recipients are likely to bite back.

H CANCER: We all need to continually release ideas, attachments or other stuff standing in the way of what we want. Crabs hate letting go of anything, but this week’s Mars in your sign is the Great Declutterer, clearing the space for a financial windfall to land. I L EO: Leo Sun and Venus are extravagant influences, but go nuts with your wish list rather than punish the plastic. Take some youtime away from the clamouring fans for personal birthday biz: ie establishing what you’re going to do more of – and less of – in the coming year. J V IRGO: This heady week could throw an exciting surprise your way that needs delicate handling with your planetary ruler Mercury retrograde for the next three weeks. Your mind is the deciding factor in the way you behave, so try not to believe everything you think. K L IBRA: This week sees you artistic divas morphing from witty

Movsesian: back with his homies

2006 and 2008 Olympic gold medallist Armenia added another prized title to their collection this week with victory in the invitation-only World Team Championship in Ningbo, China. Armenia, recently in the news for their decision to include chess as a compulsory subject in their school curriculum, outscored eight of the strongest chess countries in the world, including heavyweights Russia, China, India and the USA, as well as reigning Olympic champion Ukraine. The tiny Caucasus nation was led by world number three Levon

N CAPRICORN: Mercury retrograde this week suggests discretion around borrowing or lending. There’ll be the usual confusion of missed messages, mixed signals and passive-aggressive behaviour, but as one of the zodiac’s leaders it’s your call to mediate, elucidate and be the clear voice of reason. Somebody has to. O AQUARIUS: August promises an exciting ride which could refresh a tired love life if you give romance a chance. Creative juices are percolating, but you won’t be able to push the pace. Smartest use of this week is working with [ITALIC]re-[/ITALIC] words: review, revise, rethink and restructure. P P ISCES: Most Pisceans couldn’t really give a fig about meticulous precision, but with retro Mercury enhancing this week’s capacity for misunderstanding – along with the potential for self deception – whatever clarity, awareness and attention to detail you can muster up will be well worth mustering.

Bad Teacher

Unlike Malick’s film, Jake Kasdan’s low-brow rom-com is not burdened by bloated ambition – in fact, other than to make a buck, it displays no ambition at all. This is a beancounter’s ‘build it and they will come’ offering, tedious in its fashionable coarseness and entirely foreseeable in its outcome. ‘Bad’ in any title is a guaranteed earner (we’re so risqué, aren’t we?), whilst ‘Teacher’ establishes the everpopular classroom setting. Then there’s Cameron Diaz, bankable as the – what’s the voguish word? – skanky blonde who turns out to be not so bad in the end. Diaz still has the legs, there’s no doubt about that,

and they are enhanced by short dresses and ridiculous heels, but time is taking its inevitable toll on her face, to the point that she is beginning to fit the muttondressed-as-lamb profile. Here she is Elizabeth Halsey, a lessthan-dedicated English teacher at a junior high. What she wants above all else is a boob job, but the cost is prohibitive so she must hatch a plan to make up for her meagre earnings. The gym teacher, Russell (Jason Segel), falls for her, but she gives him short shrift, focusing her amorous attentions on the gauche but rich Scott (Justin Timberlake). In a depressingly amoral story, Elizabeth ignores her responsibilities to her pupils, rips off a fundraiser and rorts the school exam without any

hint of retribution coming her way. The humour is likewise brainless, with the semen stain on Scott’s jeans after he has ejaculated into them hitting a new low in mainstream comedy. Diaz is so well-practised in her over-familiar part that Elizabeth is at no time likeable and though Timberlake does his best his character is too stupid to be credible. Leaving Segel, Lucy Punch as Amy Squirrel, Elizabeth’s straightlaced rival, and the delightful Phyllis Smith as frumpy Miss Davies to make something of the tired old formula. Thanks to them, it was not quite as awful as I’d expected. ~ John Campbell

The announcement of the winner of this year’s Palme d’Or at Cannes was not well received by hoi polloi (it was booed) and, quite frankly, I can understand why. Confirming emphatically Oscar Wilde’s ‘bad poetry is always sincere’, Terrence Malick’s latest film is memorable for a preachy self-importance that is compounded by an undergraduate banality. It opens with a death in the family, from which point the viewer is ushered pompously, like a child to its lessons, into a cinematic cathedral of visual psychobabble accompanied by breathy choral arrangements (including a predictable extract of the famous bit from Górecki’s Sorrowful Songs and whispered narration that, to all intents and purposes, is inaudible. Before we get to the central flashback of the O’Briens’ 1950s suburban Texas street, Malick gives us a potted history of the universe

that is not dissimilar to the acid-laced creations of Albie Thoms’s fondly remembered Ubu Films. The pretentiousness of this interlude hits its silly peak with a dinosaur episode that is embarrassing for its indulgence. The saving grace throughout is Emmanuel Lubezki’s beautiful photography. With his framing, lighting and languorous, shifting eye, he achieves an astonishing intimacy in the domestic scenes and vignettes from young Jack O’Brien’s growing up. The period is Norman Rockwell brought to life, albeit with brooding portent – but you know that you’re in trouble when, one hundred minutes having passed, you’re still watching the work of the cameraman. In fact, I kept waiting for the movie to start – for anything to happen, really, and only belatedly realised that I was sitting through a turgid mash akin to Herman Hesse-doesEat Pray Love. And personally, I’d feel well and truly dudded to find that heaven (not that I anticipate lobbing there) were cluttered with studio extras wandering around in a daze on a windy beach. Still, such is the curiously high esteem in which Malick is held, Radio National’s Alan Saunders got very serious about its significance on The Philosopher’s Zone, so don’t take my word for it. ~ John Campbell

The Byron Shire Echo August 2, 2011 29

Television Guide A good week for satire: 1. Kate Ashfield and Simon Pegg (one of the writers) take on the zombies in Shaun Of The Dead (7Mate, Friday, 9.30pm), the comedy precursor to Hot Fuzz. 2. The tobacco companies’ evil-doing knows no bounds in Thank You For Smoking (Ten, Saturday, 10pm). Aaron Eckhardt is brilliant in the lead role as a corporate shill. 3. Kate Beckinsale and Richard Roxburgh are among those having great fun in Van Helsing (One HD, Sunday, 8.30pm). Watch out for David Wenham as the monk assistant to vampire killer Hugh Jackman.

Byron Bay Writers’ Festival AUGUST  

PROGRAM LIFTOUT PRESENTED BY THE

Workshops from August 2

Byron Bay Writers’ Festival – a success built on volunteers Little did Byron Bay Writers’ Festival Chairperson Christopher Hanley know when he walked around the Adelaide Writers’ Festival in the mid90s that his dream for a local event would grow into what is arguably Australia’s most loved literary festival. Things are very different today from that first Festival in 1997 when the audience numbered just 200: ‘Today the Festival attracts more than 7000 visitors and sells over 45,000 individual tickets,’ says Hanley. ‘We now attract top international talent and this year the Festival will feature 200 local, national and international writers.’ But Hanley says it is the local community and the Festival volunteers that make this event so special. ‘The community has owned the Festival from the beginning. We have volunteers from all over the region – Mullumbimby, Ocean Shores, Ballina, Bangalow and more,’ says Hanley. ‘This year nearly 200 volunteers will come together to make the Festival a success. I think that’s just incredible.’ Shirley Nelson, former director of nursing at Byron and Mullumbimby hospitals, has helped out from the beginning. ‘I volunteer for the Festival as I am so extremely proud of this wonderful local event,’ says Nelson. ‘It is such a stimulating time. I especially love the political discussions and enjoy listening to the foreign correspondents and what they face in the name of getting a story. One of my favourite sessions ever was listening to Ita Buttrose speak so positively about women – but I have many

treasured memories.’ Shirley has been volunteering for so long visitors recognise her from year to year. ‘I’ve been managing the SCU marquee now for eight years and I often have out-of-town visitors coming up and saying hello year after year.’ Chris Hanley believes Byron was the first regional writers’ festival and its success is built on a number of factors. ‘We have the natural beauty and village atmosphere that makes our town a unique destination. I love seeing visitors sitting in the cafes, walking along the beach or shopping still wearing their Festival passes,’ says Hanley. ‘The atmosphere on site is so friendly and relaxed with visitors and writers mingling freely and I believe it’s our amazing volunteers that create this intimate atmosphere. I love watching politicians, surfers, local writers, volunteers and big-name authors all mixing in the same tent.’ Hanley’s favourite volunteer story is about a woman who has volunteered for years: ‘Even though she receives free entry, this volunteer still buys a threeday pass just to support the Festival. I think that epitomises the selflessness of our volunteers.’ When Festival Director Candida Baker developed the theme Feel the Passion, the volunteers were top of her mind. ‘Our community is full of passionate people and they are really proud of the Festival,’ says Baker. ‘This year’s theme is as much a celebration of local passion as it is of the writers’ incredible talent.’ Longtime committee member and former Festival treas-

Volunteer Shirley Nelson, Festival Director Candida Baker and Volunteers Coordinator Virginia Clarke

urer John Hertzberg says the Festival would not exist without the strong volunteer base. ‘As we are a not-for-profit organisation we simply couldn’t run the Festival without our volunteers and the support of our sponsors,’ says Hertzberg. ‘Each year we conduct a visitors’ survey and the friendliness and helpfulness of our volunteers always rates highly. They are the lifeblood of the Festival.’ New Byron resident Mike Malloy says volunteering is a great way to meet people and feel part of the community. ‘I moved to Byron Bay only last year and the passion shown by those working at the Festival is astounding. I was thrilled to part of it. Q To purchase tickets visit

Writers at the Lakehouse How would you like to spend half an hour with your favourite writer – Phillip Adams, Bill Leak, Stephanie Dowrick, Alison Lester, Wendy Harmer, Libbi Gorr, Paul Cox, Lloyd Jones and many, many more – enjoying a quiet chat with a small group of like-minded fans? Well, now you can – thanks to the 2011 Byron Bay Writers’ Festival new initiative this year, designed specifically to improve your visit to the Festival! Festival Director Candida Baker is thrilled that 75 writers have agreed to take part in these sessions, meaning that many of you will be able to ask those questions that are hard to ask in a crowded marquee. ‘It will generally feel as if you

are taking part in a Book Club!’ says Baker. This is a separately ticketed event, with tickets available at the Box Office on the day. Fifteen people per writer, five writers at a time, at a cost of $15 for NRWC members and $20 for non-members. ‘We will have the writers’ names on a board; tickets available up until 30 minutes before the sessions start,’ says Baker. ‘Sessions run for 30 minutes from 10.30am to 2.30pm, with groups asked to gather at the Box Office fifteen minutes before, when we will escort you to the Lakehouse. The price includes tea or coffee.’ Please note that this is NOT a book-signing session. Authors won’t be signing books at these sessions, but only after

Phillip Adams

Byron Bay Writers’ Festival AUGUST  

Top Australian authors line up Writers’ Festival films at the Dendy with international greats Rose Fox

Australian luminaries Phillip Adams, David Williamson, Gillian Armstrong, Bob Carr, Wendy Harmer, Betty Churcher and Charlie Pickering will join international greats Louis de Bernières, James Redfield, MJ Hyland and John Pilger at the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival – Feel the Passion. With more writers than ever before, Festival Director Candida Baker believes the breadth and depth of the Festival program truly offers something for everyone. ‘With over 170 writers confirmed, discussing diverse topics including cooking, history, politics, social networking, music, surfing, travel, comedy, crime, fantasy, memoir, sport, poetry, the environment and philanthropy, the Festival’s fifteenth birthday bash will be one to remember.’ Baker has assembled the largest number of international writers ever presented at the Festival: ‘Imagine choosing between James Redfield discussing his international phenomenon The Celestine Prophecies, MJ Hyland exploring her powerful novel This is How, Louis de Bernières in conversation about the broad reach of his books and John Pilger’s keynote address. Visitors are going to have a tough time deciding which sessions to attend,’ says Baker. When Baker took the reins as Director late last year she was determined to bring new passion to the Festival: ‘Writing is more than just words

on a page. Writing is an art that takes many forms including music, sculpture, drama, art and more. I hope visitors this year will enjoy the breadth and depth of the program.’ Baker is also thrilled to have a strong line-up of local authors: ‘I am confident visitors will enjoy meeting our great local writers as much as the international stars.’ In the session Different strokes for different folks, Phillip Adams, Richard Glover (Why Men Are Necessary) and Charlie Pickering (Impractical Jokes) will be talking media with Leslie Cannold. ‘I am

very much looking forward to discovering their views on the role media play in Australia and the part they play in it,’ says Baker, herself a journalist for many years. Michael Robotham (The Wreckage), whose first book was the subject of a bidding war and went on to sell over a million copies, will join Katherine Howell (Violent Exposure) and L A Larkin (Thirst) in the session Walking the mean streets for crime fiction chaired by Liz Porter (Cold Case Files – Past Crimes Solved by New Forensic Science). ‘Crime fiction is a growing

and hugely popular contemporary genre,’ Baker says. ‘It is exciting to have such crime writing heavyweights at the Festival.’ Baker recommends grabbing a seat early for the session Screen and heard: ‘With David Williamson, Gillian Armstrong, Tristram Miall and Greg Haddrick centre stage and producer and screenwriter Ross Grayson Bell chairing, I’m sure the session will be standing room only.’ Kate Veitch (Trust) will join Leslie Cannold (The Book of Rachael) and Fiona Scott Norman (50 Reasons To Keep Smoking/50 Reasons To Quit Smoking) in the session I am woman: why women rock. ‘I had great fun putting this panel and topic together,’ Baker says. ‘The discussion will be chaired by Kristin Williamson and it is one I won’t be missing.’ Baker suspects that one of the most exciting places to be during the Festival will be the keynote address by John Pilger. ‘… this session will leave guests with lots to digest and will be discussed for a long time after the Festival closes.’ Other speakers at the Festival include Tim Fisher, Joanna Murray-Smith, Caroline Overington, Benjamin Gilmour, Bill Leak, Libbi Gorr, Paul Kelly, Wendy Harmer, MV Snyder, Alison Lester, Helen Brown and lots more. To purchase tickets or view the full Festival program visit www.byronbaywritersfestival. com.au or call 1300 368 552.

Among the many exciting offsite events at this year’s Writers’ Festival are three films, each with a writer/filmmaker attending for a post-film Q&A. Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas will be hosting the Byron premiere of Red Dog on Friday 5 August at 7pm, with special guest Louis de Bernières, who wrote the book on which the film is based. Memorialised forever in a statue in Dampier, the real Red Dog was a loveable kelpie who became a legend, travelling all over WA, hitching rides in cars and trains. The heart-warming comedy stars Rachael Taylor, Josh Lucas, Noah Taylor and Koko, the canine-with-charisma making his film debut. It was shot on location in the stunning and remote Pilbara region of WA, described by de Bernières as ‘a landscape that looks like the surface of Mars, which too few Australians have learned to love. I love it, and I’m only a Pom!’ Also screening at the Dendy is Innocence, from renowned filmmaker Paul Cox and starring Australian film icons Julia Blake and Bud Tingwell. After more than forty years apart, widower Andreas embarks on an affair with Claire, as reckless and intense as when they were young lovers. Claire, however, is still married and their affair is set to have a major impact on her husband and their families. This is a fearlessly honest and deeply engaging love story that shows love has no age boundaries. Paul Cox is one of Australia’s most acclaimed filmmakers and undoubtedly audiences will relish the opportunity to hear him speak about this and his many other films.

Innocence screens on Thursday 4 August at 5pm; tickets for both films are on sale now at the Dendy for $18 or $15 for Club Dendy, Screenworks and Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre members, and Festival Pass holders; phone bookings 6680 8555. Wrapping up the film events at the Writers’ Festival is The War You Don’t See, screening at the Byron Community Centre Theatre on Sunday 7 August at 7pm, followed by a Q&A with BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning journalist and filmmaker John Pilger. The film is a powerful and timely investigation into the media’s role in war, tracing the history of embedded and independent reporting, from the carnage of World War I to the destruction of Hiroshima, and from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war in Afghanistan and disaster in Iraq. As weapons and propaganda become even more sophisticated, the nature of war is developing into an ‘electronic battlefield’ in which journalists play a key role, and civilians are the victims. But who is the real enemy? Tickets $16 at the Community Centre.

Kamahl’s Poetry debut at the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival Music-, song- and poetrylovers are in for a special treat as Kamahl, one of Australia’s best-loved recording stars, joins composer and sound artist Yantra de Vilder and performer and poet Teresa Bell for one passionate night of music, photography and words at the Festival’s Fire and Ice: Poems of Passion performance. Festival Director Candida Baker says the evening will consist of four very distinct poetic and musical interludes. ‘Kamahl will open the program by reciting his choice of poems which have deep personal meaning for him,’ say Baker. ‘It’s not a common occurrence to have a night in the theatre with a singer reciting poetry. But Kamahl has been wanting to be involved with the “spoken word� for sometime.’ Kamahl is looking forward to sharing words in more ways than just song. ‘Poetry is such a beautiful form of expression,’ he says. ‘But of course singing is my first passion, so naturally I will perform a song as well.’ Baker created the initial idea for the show in conjunction with composer Yantra de Vilder and was inspired by the famous Robert Frost poem, Fire and Ice. But it was listening to Kamahl on the ABC’s Spicks and Specks television music quiz show that really brought the idea to life. ‘When I heard Kamahl’s mesmerising voice I knew I just had to have him as

Bell, De Vilder and Kamahl will then come together to perform part of the famous love poetry The Prophet by Khalil Gibran. The evening will start with a presentation by local musical group co.sonance who will perform a 20-minute extract of The Ice Suite, a musical multimedia journey covering the last weeks of Robert Falcon Scott’s life – who died trying to be the first man to reach the South Pole. Baker believes this wonderful evening will be one of the highlights of the Festival: ‘This special event commissioned exclusively for the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival is a must-see for all those lovers of an intimate theatrical experience.’

part of the Festival,’ says Baker. ‘I thought there would be something quite magical about hearing that unique voice recite the words of great poets.’ The brilliantly talented composer Yantra de Vilder will be performing her new work Fire and Ice commissioned exclusively for the Festival. This multimedia performance features exquisite abstract photographic imagery by our own Festival Director with Yantra on the grand piano. ‘This collaboration with Candy goes beyond words in its purity of music and image,’ says de

Vilder. ‘Fire and Ice is a new exploration of the intersection between words and music – east and west, now and then. The music and spoken words will explore the many faces of passion.’ Performer and poet Theresa Bell will then share the passionate best from Plath to Porter. ‘To team their fiery words with original music from Yantra is a unique blend of improvisation between musician and spoken-word performer,’ says Bell. ‘Not to mention the chance to listen to Kamahl sing and share his favourite poetry.’

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favour fire. Robert Frost (1920) Fire and Ice: Poems of Passion performance as part of the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival offsite events program is being held at the Byron Community Centre Theatre on Friday 5 August 7.30pm. Tickets are just $30 and are available at www. byronbaywritersfestival.com. au or call 1300 368 552.

Byron Bay Writers’ Festival: This Floating World Enjoy the beauty of Ireland, its people, ghosts, birds and animals in the unique production This Floating World on Sunday 7 August 4.00–5.00 pm on the Festival site, in the Performance Tent. Devised for the stage and performed by writer, actor and director Teresa Bell and Gavin Blatchford, the work is based on Libby Hart’s most recent collection of poetry, This Floating World (Five Islands Press 2011). A perfect way to float out of the Festival, without a doubt. The work is a songline or oral map of the island of Ireland. ‘The audience is guided through the landscape by an omnipotent force,’ says Bell. ‘Both lyrical and narrative, This Floating World unfolds

over a period of 24 hours and is dictated by the wind or rain. Fluid and transient in nature, it is full of rushed thoughts, forgotten histories and quiet contemplations. It is essentially a celebration of how, in some small way, we are connected to all things.’ The first thing that struck Bell about Hart’s This Floating World was the beauty of the language and the images of the sea and longing: ‘I love the idea of the wind or rain crossing Ireland and that being the forward movement of the work, rather than a straight narrative.’ Blatchford and Bell have brought together the 74 poems of This Floating World as a one-hour piece for theatre.

‘We took the image of the sea for the shape of it, waves and poems and words and longings and desire crashing over each other. Times of stillness and calm and times of passion and anger,’ says Blatchford. ‘Our main intention was to take the audience on the journey.’ Festival Director Candida Baker says the poetry events are always very popular: ‘We always offer a variety of poetry sessions at the Festival as it is such a popular genre.’ Bell’s book of poetry Under a Nightingale’s Wing (Flametree press 2011) will be launched at the Festival launchpad on Sunday 7 August, 1pm by Robyn Rowland.

Byron Bay Writers’ Festival AUGUST ď˜˝ďšşď˜ż ď˜şď˜šď›œď›œ

From buffalo funerals to Tiger Balm boob jobs: Memoir reveals the bizarre side of Thai life It’s not every day that you find yourself surrounded by gunwielding soldiers with your undies around your ankles during a drug bust in the hills of northern Thailand‌ but that’s exactly what happened when Queensland songwriter Ange Takats took up a job as a foreign correspondent in Bangkok. The former Sydney girl, who now calls the Sunshine Coast home, has written a book about her South-East Asian adventures titled The Buffalo Funeral: Soundbites from a Songbird in Siam and will be appearing at this year’s Byron Bay Writers’ Festival. ‘I covered some bizarre stories during my two years in Thailand. One of my first assignments was to report on a funeral for a water buffalo. I arrived with my cameraman to see this big dead beast hanging inside a shed, with fairy lights wrapped around his horns, and flowers stuffed into his ears,’ Ange said. ‘Then there was the Thai boob-job story. We’d gone to film a woman who claimed to be able to make breasts bigger by rubbing them with Tiger Balm. Halfway through the shoot she decided she wanted to give me a freebie!’ she said. The book is a leap of faith for the songwriter, who released her debut album, Aniseed Tea, in 2009. Ange penned most of the book’s chapters in between her busy touring schedule in 2010. ‘I love writing lyrics but there’s only so much you can say in a four-minute song. This book has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time – a way of paying tribute to the cameramen, musicians and beautiful souls who shared life with me during my two years in Thailand,’ she said. Ange was 22 when she left the comforts Sydney to work in the cutthroat, male-dominated, international media. From heroin addicts in Hanoi, to

Teen Talk – Free Session for Parents and Teachers

Maggie Hamilton is a teacher and the author of a number of books, including Coming Home and Love Your Work, Reclaim Your Life. Curious to know about how teenagers were tracking, Maggie talked to numerous teen boys and girls around Australia about their dreams and issues, and about how they’re experiencing 21st century life. The results were two wonderfully revealing books: What’s Happening to our Boys and What’s Happening to our Girls. In this lively session Maggie will share some of her many findings – how teenagers see their lives, what makes teen life radically different from just a few years ago, where teen pressure comes from, and how to find your way through these pressures. And she also looks forward to your questions and comments.  The Byron Bay Writers’ Festival would like to invite teachers and parents (mums to the girls-only session, dads to the boys-only session) to come along and enjoy MagSunshine Coast author Ange Takats. gie’s insights into this important phase of life. people living with HIV/AIDS songs on Aniseed Tea were  We are also inviting teachin Bangkok – the stories Ange inspired by that time.

Featuring interviews and stories from some of Australia’s best-known people, this book gives reassurance to teenagers who have experienced bullying. Surprisingly entertaining and thoroughly inspiring, this book will reassure teenagers and provide precious insight for parents and teachers. ‘These stories offer strategies to cope and conquer, as well as inspiring and inventive ways to deal with what feels like the undealable,’ says editor and energy behind the book, Fiona Scott-Norman. ‘These are stories not only of survival, but of people who’ve flourished despite inauspicious beginnings. Coincidence? Not likely. ‘The irony is that the majority of people who are admired and respected in the world probably came from this kind of background‌ I never went to anything cool; the first time I went to a Big Day Out, I was 23 and playing at it!’ – Megan Washington.

Coming to grips with tentacles

BANGALOW

GOODTASTE Bangalow Dining Rooms

I was intrigued, and so I ordered it. The confit of octopus tentacles arrived on a long narrow plate, cephalopod chunks scattered amidst swirls of black olive paste and peach-coloured dabs of chilli aioli and strewn with tiny purple flowers and parsley. Almost too pretty to eat, but after shamelessly photographing it I plunged in. The octopus was so tender it seemed to melt into my tongue; the warm spongey sourdough I used to mop up the medley of flavours. It was a striking start to a meal.

A means of keeping meats without refrigeration, it is one of the most ancient methods of preservation and today is regarded as a great classic of French cuisine. It involves the salting of food before it is cooked slowly in fat, preferably its own. The salt draws out the moisture and the slow initial heating allows all the fat under the skin to melt out whilst retaining the shape of the meat and ensuring the sublime, delicate tenderness which distinguishes a properly made confit. It is the submergence in fat during the long slow cooking which creates a barrier against air and spoilage. I remember an ex-boyfriend’s account of his first attempt at duck confit – probably, in hindsight, responsible for a reluctance I have always felt to have a go at it myself. Andrew described duck fat from floor to ceiling although I gather the end-result was worth the chaos (and cleaning up).

OPEN For over 15 years Billi’s Thai has re-created the FIRE PLACE traditional taste of Thailand in Billinudgel. Offering an extensive menu, scrumptious desserts, specials board, and western style kids menu.

Dominic’s Ristoranté

Confit is a term bandied about on menus with frequently inaccurate applications. Duck confit is one of the more common manifestations, having become almost commonplace – and yet it is surprising how many people are not terribly sure just what, exactly, the confit part means. The word comes from the French confrire, to preserve, an intrinsic part of kitchen routine on farms throughout history. Cookbook writer Paula Wolfert describes it as ‘a way of making use of every part of the animal from good pork shoulder and meaty duck legs to such humble odds and ends as duck and goose gizzards, wings and necks, or the tongue and ears of the pig’. (That’s for you, Gil Crespy.)

Octopus confit was new to me, although I have long been familiar with Tetsuya’s signature dish of Ocean Trout Confit – and been privileged enough to eat it. Some of the liberties being taken with the term, however, can be exemplified by a recipe I found in a recent food magazine for cherry tomato confit which added up to nothing more than tomatoes macerating in balsamic vinegar, garlic and lots of olive oil – the term a mere affectation. Matt Moran, on the other hand, does a fantastic roast confit potato dish in which, correctly, he immerses quartered potatoes in one entire litre of duck fat along with thyme and garlic and cooks them for about half an hour before then roasting them fiercely for another forty minutes. From the last time I roasted a duck I still have a container of rich rich rich duck fat patiently part of the contents of my refrigerator and as soon as I can bring myself to submit to the decadence of it all I plan to confit something or other – if only to get rid of it! (The confit of octopus tentacles with gremolata, dried black olives and chilli aioli can be sampled at Little Truffle restaurant, an hour up the road at Mermaid Beach, where everything else is as outrageously good.)

The Bruns Brasserie’s newest addition is crispy crust pizzas. Daily selections include fresh grilled snapper, juicy steaks and bangers and mash. Gourmet coffees, Devonshire teas, freshly squeezed juices and delicious desserts are also available.

Red Devils deal Casino royal drubbing John Campbell

Byron Bay concluded its 2011 home commitments on Sunday with a 44-4 victory over the Casino Cougars. Champagne rugby league it may not have been, but the boys turned in a performance worthy at least of a robust spumante to entertain an appreciative estimated crowd of 3,083 and, in so doing, put themselves in the frame for a finals berth in the NRRRL reserve grade comp. Charismatic centre Michael Chapman was carted off with a bung leg in the first minute, but the Bay quickly recovered from the setback when full-back Bill ‘don’t argue’ Lowrie zig-zagged his way to the line after lightweight prop Ryan Chidgey had regathered a charge-down. Duane ‘Drano’ Cahill’s gimme

conversion attempt didn’t come within a bull’s roar of the posts, but the writing was already on the wall for the visitors. Barring an unexpected 4020, the Cougars were hopelessly trapped in their own half and the ref had no option but to penalise them when their Sam Thaiday look-alike dropped his elbow into innocent Seb Lamilla (it was Sam’s big moment – actually, it was his only moment). Lowrie capitalised by chiming into the backline and surging through rattled defenders to notch his second try. Straight after the resumption, five-eighth Jerry Deal scooted forty metres to set up Peter Flannery and Dale Smith’s goal (Drano had been sacked from kicking duties) that saw the Devils cruising at 14-0. Deal got a deserved fourpointer for himself to make it

Lamilla opened the second stanza with a barnstorming charge – he runs with a ramrod straight back (oldtimers might recall Newtown’s Gary Sullivan) – that ultimately saw Cahill race over in the corner and from the very next set the Devils were in again. Half-back Sam Barnes chipped for the bald winger and Drano made a leisurely one-handed take before placing the ball over the line. Annihilation was on the cards when Chidgey sprinted thirty to score, the Cougars showing little interest in the pursuit. But at 34-0, a hint of the hog syndrome crept into the Devils’ Piew! It’s all about scent for the big cats – Byron’s Connor Crieghton wards off a Casino Cougar in time-honoured fashion. play, with everybody wanting to get in the scorer’s book.

The visitors were briefly bullish, but their fate was confirmed by the day’s most spectacular try. Leaving his wing, Cahill took a pass at five-eighth from a scrum win deep in Byron’s half. He burst through and careered downfield, only to find himself being run down by the cover (the Cougars’ lock tried hard all day). Flannery loomed up in support and Drano, with perfect timing and positional nous, shot a pass into the bread-basket of the youngster who flew to the northern tryline. Lamilla, in everything but a bath, got a late try for himself, but his kick at goal was of the spaz variety. The Devils, now fourth on the ladder with 20 points, conclude their minor premiership campaign next week against the Ghosts at Grafton.

The Mullumbimby Junior Giants had a great weekend of football. The under 7s played in a hard and fast game against Cudgen with all boys putting in a big effort. Both the under 9s and 10s had depleted teams. The 9s had a tough game against Bilambil and the 10s went down to competition leaders Tugun 24-6. Jed Edwards was voted man of the match; he was well supported by Lachlan, Bo, Kane and Shaun. Big thanks to Harry for helping out.

Cricketing mum Mary’s a lifer

Cricket club life member Mary in her other incarnation as the lady who makes the trophies at North Coast trophies in Brunswick Heads. Photo Tree Faerie.

Mary Ashton’s name was recently engraved into the Mullumbimby-Brunswick Cricket Club history books, when she became the first female to be awarded life membership. Over the past 15 years, Mary has been an integral part of the club in a number of different capacities. She became involved in the cricket club when her oldest son, Daniel, signed up as a junior.

She started out, as any parent does, driving her sons to cricket training and games every week, and generally just helping out with the team in different ways, including scoring and helping the young boys gets their hats and sun cream on. It didn’t take long for Mary’s helpful and compassionate nature to shine through, when after only a short time as a cricketing parent she took on

the role of becoming the junior coordinator for the Brunswick Valley Cricket Association. Even after the departure of her sons Daniel and Luke from the playing ranks of the club, Mary continued her role as junior coordinator for a number of years. Mary became involved in the senior club through the position of secretary which she held for a number of years,

Regardless of the results the last four games have shown Bangalow, if not this season, have what it takes to push the top teams all the way.

while also unofficially taking on many other roles in the club. Over the past few years, Mary has indicated on numerous occasions her intention to retire from the organisation; but has been unable to do so due to a lack of committed individuals to replace her. Last year after the retirement of long-serving curator and clubman John Gadowski, Mary took over the role of curator of Stan Thompson oval at Brunswick Heads. Current club president Grant Cook says that with the rapid decline of volunteers in Australia in the past 10 years Mary has defied the statistics. ‘If there were half as many people like Mary as there are sports clubs in Australia, we wouldn’t be seeing the struggle of volunteer, not-for-profit sports organisations that we are seeing now,’ he said.

Bruns Billygoats The Brunswick Valley Junior Rugby Billygoats butted their heads up against Wollongbar at Brunswick Heads on Friday. In the under 17s, a late field goal by Sean Watkins gave the team 15–13 win. The visitors got to an early 12-0 lead but a try by Kurt McDonald and two kicks got Brunswick back to 12-10 down. Wollongbar took the lead 13–12 in the second half but the under 17s had the last score to win a thriller. Best were Watkins, Quigley and McDonald.

Earlier under 15s moved closer to the finals winning 33-7 aginst Wollongbar; tries to Dennis, Chism, Mason, Watkins and Burke – best were McDonald, Nara and Mason. The Under 13s will have to improve their discipline and form to play in the finals following a 41–0 drubbing. Best were Mann, Smith and Arthur. The diminutive under 12s were no match for a big Wollongbar side, and what they lack in size they make up for in heart! Best Harris, Osking and Hay.

Sage Nara in action on Friday

Crankin’ what’s happening in the surf Northern NSW dominate the finals On a pristine day with light offshore winds and two-foot waves, four grommets saved their best performances for the final and added their name to the prestigious honour roll of NSW champions. Riding their way to victory after a drop in swell and a huge week of competition, at the Hurley NSW Junior Surfing Titles, the Under 12 and Under 14 Boys and Girls divisions were crowned on a spectacular day bringing the week-long event to a close. Zac Wightman, pictured, from Lennox Head set up his win in the Under 14 Boys final with an excellent 8.50 ride and shortly backed that ride up with another powerful 8.25 final wave to win the crown on a tally of 16.75 to defeat runnerup Byron Bay surfer Kian Shahar, Riley Laing (The Entrance) in third and Harley Ross-Webster (Curl Curl) in fourth.

‘It’s been so much fun. Thanks to everyone who comes down to watch, all the judges and commentators, my friends for bringing me here, my sponsors and Surfing NSW,’ said a very appreciative Wightman after receiving his trophy. Apart from the Far North Coast surfers dominating the Under 14s Finals, Northern NSW surfers were also in great form in the Under 12s divisions, with Byron Bay’s Kyuss King and Alyssa Lock from Tweed Heads claiming two more NSW crowns. Kyuss King was riding the high from the two perfect 10.0s he received yesterday in the lead-up to the final, surfing against his good mates Sandon Whittaker (Avoca Beach), Mikey McDonagh (Lennox Head) and Karne Blackwell (South Coast) who placed second, third and fourth respectively. Perfect weather wrapped up the day and great week at Boomerang Beach, with the

young competitors congratulating each other, demonstrating great sportsmanship at an early age.

Lennox All Girls The All Girls July club round, ‘The Hardcore Womens Winter Classic’, was held on Sunday at Lennox Head; the sun was out, the water was warm and the girls surfed in beautiful clean two-foot waves. The wind was light and the conditions stayed for most of the morning. This month the finalists in each division won prizes. Results were: Intermediates – 1 Isabel Mayo, 2 Eleanor Robertson, 3 Halu Shinashi and 4 Sam Cooper-Smith. Advanced – 1 Jane Tranberg, 2 Susie Ferguson, 3 Roisin Carolan and 4 Maz Pentecost. Longboards – 1 Carol Stevenson, 2 Roisin Carola,n 3 Maz Pentecost and 4 Deb Tinker. Junior Beginners – 1 Mahlia Carr, 2 Lily Lewis, 3 Kaytlyn Poole, 4 Emma Taylor and 5 Isobella O’Connell.

Comment/Pin This Up

Defending the environment is what we d0 Mark Byrne

The Echo is not the only one celebrating a recent milestone. We’re hardly out of nappies, relatively speaking, but it is five years since the NSW Environmental Defender’s Office opened a Northern Rivers branch in Lismore. The Sydney office of the NSW EDO has been using the law to help communities protect the environment for over a quarter of a century. The Lismore office was set up partly in response to the sheer volume of legal advice work and court cases that came to the Sydney office from this region. This is a consequence of two things. One is the high environmental awareness of locals, especially following the campaign to save the Gondwana subtropical rainforests that began in 1979. The other is the continued pressure on the region’s natural resources and biodiversity from population growth and coastal develop-

ment, logging, extractive industries, fishing, pesticide use, and so on. Over the last five years, the Northern Rivers office has been involved in a number of successful court cases. Splendour in the Grass has been prevented from moving to land including and adjacent to a critical biodiversity corridor at Yelgun. Core koala habitat in Valla has been protected. A big new timber mill has been prevented from starting up in native forest in the Clarence Valley. There have also inevitably been defeats in court, and sometimes people come to us with a problem that we can’t provide them with a solution to because of the way the law is framed. But even defeats in the courts can pave the way for future successes, by progressively chipping away at the legal defences for poor decisions or practices, or by helping to establish new principles and precedents.

The other rationale for setting up the Northern Rivers area was that there was a well established network of environment groups in the region, some of which have been active since the 1980s. With that kind of experience, they are often very effective campaigners, leaving us to do our job as lawyers and educators. Still, much of the energy for environmental protection is now coming from a new generation of activists in response to new threats, especially climate change and coal seam gas (CSG).

region, related in part to the upgrade of the Pacific Highway, often to the detriment of biodiversity values and surrounding landowners. Through our education work we are also part of a group that is working towards a regional energy strategy, to help the region meet more of its own energy needs rather than relying on mostly coal-fired power pumped in from the Hunter Valley or Queensland via the national grid. Of all the issues we have dealt with over the past five years, CSG has generated by far the most public concern. The threat of underground water contamination is clearly deeply troubling to many people. While existing approvals mean that at least some gas will inevitably be part of the region’s energy future over the next fifteen years at least (especially around Casino), the extent of public opposition is sending a clear message to the companies involved that they

face a battle to obtain a ‘social licence’ to operate in this area. And NSW has been promised legislative changes in the near future that will improve the environmental regulation of this burgeoning industry.

Coastal protection Another issue which is likely to come to the fore over the current parliamentary term is marine parks and coastal protection. Already the new government has reduced the habitat protection for grey nurse sharks and voted to introduce a moratorium on new marine parks, supposedly to give time for more scientific research on their effectiveness. Others argue that the science is well and truly in, and that marine parks provide sanctuaries that quickly result in increasing fish stocks in surrounding waters. It remains to be seen what attitude the new government will take to the changes to coastal protection legislation introduced last year, which aimed

Skilled labour profile highlights Century 21 launches real estate game opportunity for action, says HIA home building activity in 2011, driven to no small degree by soft demand conditions, has relieved some pressure on trade availability and temporarily masks the structural shortage of skilled labour faced by the housing industry. ‘The latest Trades Report shows a modest surplus of skilled labour,’ said Dr Dale. ‘The only other period where a modest surplus of labour, as opposed to a shortage, has been evident in the nine-year history of the report was during the GFC in the June 2009 quarter. ‘That there is an underlying structural shortage of skilled labour for the housing industry is palpably obvious to all but the most blinded of observers. A kick-start to new home building is urgently required in 2011 and a

The latest HIA-Austral Bricks Trades Report, a survey of the Housing Industry Association’s builder and sub-contractor members, reinforces the continuing weakness evident in new home building in mid-2011. HIA Chief Economist, Dr Harley Dale, said that weak new

larger pool of skilled labour than can currently be tapped into forms an essential part of ensuring a recovery is sustainable. ‘Now, during what policy makers have to ensure is only short-term weakness in new residential construction, is precisely the time to concertedly invest in the housing industry’s future skilled-labour pool.’ HIA Executive Director, Industry Workforce Development, Nick Proud, said that ‘a softening in demand for residential building activity has seen the workforce move into a similar position of modest surplus to that experienced during the GFC, which, going back, saw apprentice commencements plummet. ‘Apprenticeship starts dropped by 18 percent over 2009, which correlated with the easing in

trades availability. A similar apprehension to take on apprentices in the current environment will again impact on apprenticeship starts and constrain future workforce capacity. ‘The 2011 Federal Budget has provided $558 million as a mechanism enabling industries such as housing to meet the national tri-challenge of an undersupply of housing and tight rental availability, the need for a recovery in residential building activity, and an ageing workforce attrition quandary. A range of policy options, and incentives that are primarily focused on helping employers to recruit new entrants in apprenticeships and upskilling workforce flexibility, are needed. The Workforce Development Fund is best positioned to focus on construction now.’

Real estate company Century 21 has launched a free online game called Property Mogul. ‘Property Mogul is an entertaining and interactive game where players buy, sell and manage real estate, allowing them to apply real-life principles to achieve virtual property tycoon status,’ said Century 21 Australia chairman and owner, Charles Tarbey. â€˜Property Mogul aims to give Australians a fun way to learn about the fundamentals of buying and selling real estate in a fictional world against real competitors.’ Property Mogul is built around a fictional city, Centropolis, which is made up of 16 dif-

‘With an on-the-spot ability National quantity surveying Hyde, director of Washington to highlight tax deductions to firm, Washington Brown, has Brown. launched its tax depreciation calculator as a free iPhone app. According to Washington Brown, tax depreciation is one of the most important tax-saving benefits available to property investors and often worth thousands in deductions. ‘The app provides the simplest way to review the tax-saving prospects of a potential investment property or get a quote on an existing investment to start saving on your tax,’ says Tyron

potential buyers, or when presenting to new clients, the app enables savvy real estate agents, mortgage brokers and financial advisers to realise tax depreciation can really drive sales and differentiate them in the market. ‘It’s also a convenient tool for accountants to assess if their client should consider utilising a tax-depreciation schedule in their tax return.’ To download the app visit iTunes and search ‘WB dep calc’ or visit washingtonbrown.com. au/app. Screenshots from iPhone

61 Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby property@markcochrane.com.au www.markcochrane.com.au

A little out of the ordinary, private, two-storey timber home backing onto a reserve with 3 bedrooms plus a separate loft room, timber floors, open plan living, secluded courtyard and decks, tucked away down a quiet lane way, this home really is a chalet in the forest. In the middle of suburbia with all the advantages of proximity to beach, town, schools, transport etc. but situated at the rear of a dual-occupancy 1,000m2 allotment, backing onto a reserve, all windows look out to a canopy of trees. Truly a sanctuary from life’s hustle and bustle. A superb retirement home, just a few steps to the first-level living area, kitchen, two bedrooms and living area that opens onto a deck. Small low-maintenance garden; second floor has two bedrooms both with high ceilings, separated by a walk-in robe. Built out of western red cedar this home has character often missing from the standard brick and tile variety. A perfect rental property having 4 bedrooms and close proximity to town with a small yard. Showing a steady, easily achievable rent of $480.00pw over the past 4 years. The owner/investor is reluctant to let it go but due to unforseen circumstances it now comes to the market place.

More information is available online at www. abs.gov.au/census or by calling the Census Inquiry Service on 1300 338 776. Apart from inspiring paranoia about Big Brother, the biggest reaction to the Census is usually to do with the religion question. The Atheist Foundation of Austra-

lia (www.atheistfoundation. org.au) is running a ‘Mark “no religion�’ campaign which is likely to be dwarfed by the Jedi Faith (www.thejedifaith.com). Inspired by the Star Wars franchise, 70,000 Australians registered as Jedis or Jedi Knights in the 2001 Census. Contrary to popular belief, the ABS did not issue threats or warnings to Jedis but issued this statement instead: ‘If your belief system is “Jedi� then answer as such on the census form. But if you would normally answer Anglican or Jewish or Buddhist or something else to the question “what is your religion?� and for the census you answer “Jedi� then this may impact on social services provision if enough people do the same.’ We think there’s some value in registering your interest as a follower of the Church of the Flying Mr King took this photo on The Spaghetti Monster (www.venganza.org).
