Clean the dunny! Bubbles of fun at November fair Mayor pressures staff over maintenance Hans Lovejoy

Why are our public toilets filthy and unsightly graffiti everywhere? According to Mayor Jan Barham it’s because staff have not followed councillors’ resolutions, some of which go back to 2008. Furthermore she claims that a rate-rise specifically aimed at maintenance is available for such projects.

Ignored requests The mayor’s exasperation became apparent at last week’s Council meeting as she went up against the general manager and fellow councillors, claiming years of ignored requests. ‘Every year I have sent emails to staff asking for action and have had little to no response,’ she said. ‘I recognise our reponsibility to tourism and agree with the Byron United’s (Byron’s Chamber of Commerce) consistent claims to clean up the town’s image.’ A motion put forward by the mayor called for the re-establishment of a Byron Bay town centre works team, which would provide ‘ownership over the maintenance of the town.’ ‘There used to be work teams; both a north and south team. Whitsunday Council has one, but we are using contractors,’ she says. ‘The Byron Bay maintenance and risk assessment’ motion was knocked back and instead an amendment was put forward by Crs Staples and Tucker, which passed. It asks that Council receive a report with updates on Byron Bay Landscape and Renovation Plan works implementation since 2009, and identify the balance of expenditure for the plan and an overview of annual maintenance funding for maintenance of Byron Bay, including previous specific rate increases, footpath dining and crown reserve commercial funds. A report is also requested on a risk assessment analysis and disability access of Byron Bay town including the Main Beach Reserve area.

Some councillors were clearly uncomfortable with the mayor dominating the chamber during the debate. Cr Basil Cameron at one point said to the mayor, ‘Maybe this suggests you need a different approach – perhaps less talking over others and listening would be more helpful.’ At another point, Cr Ross Tucker barked, ‘Mayor – don’t interupt the speaker!’ Upon speaking against the motion, Cr Tucker said, ‘It won’t be done… and [a report] will achieve nothing.’ Cr Diane Woods also said she was against, and ‘astounded’ with, the mayor’s motion. ‘We have asked for this every year.’ She added that Ocean Shores residents told her they make up 25 per cent of the Shire’s ratepayers and have complained to her about Council being Byron-centric. ‘We need more staff and more money to clean up the filth and graffiti,’ she said. Cr Simon Richardson, however, offered the mayor support. ‘At least the mayor is trying,’ he said. ‘I can’t recall Chasing bubbles: Jaspa Nowad was one of hundreds of kids and parents who took advantage of the near-perfect any other councillors pushing for this. spring twilight at Mullum Public School’s November fair on Friday.

In June 2010 Mullumbimby man Vincent (Vinny) Kenny voluntarily launched a nonprofit aid project in Uganda after visiting the small village of Buyambi while travelling in the African nation. Mr Kenny said he was so moved by the villagers and their struggling plight over the last three decades of violence and high HIV that, in close consultation with community leaders, he made the decision to set up The Buyambi Love Aid Project. ‘The project improves educational and health conditions for local folks and its accomplishments have already been considerable,’ says Mr Kenny. ‘Three new classrooms now educate 93 extra students every year and women’s health services have been greatly improved.

Do you want a plastic bag with that? No thanks! That’s the message a group of Byron Shire women are wanting to spread in the face of the untold damage they do to our environment. Dee Tipping, Diana Ricketts (Byron United) and Trude Helm are taking to the streets as the BYO Bag Babes. ‘There is no mystery about what you have to do to be a BYO Bag Babe or a BYO Bag Bloke for that matter,’ said Ms Tipping, founder of the ‘Say No to Plastic Bag Campaign’ in 2003 .

The ladies will be visiting businesses and markets over the next few weeks for signed support to the ‘Say no to plastic bag’ month of January. Ms Tipping said, ‘By creating less plastic waste and being more mindful of how we dispose of it we can set an example.’ For more email saynotoplasticbagcampaign@gmail.com or phone 0427 169 098.

Timber supply crisis to cost taxpayers ‘millions’ Claims have emerged that Forests NSW have been unable to supply timbre commitments, and have subsequently been sued by Boral. According to the North Coast Environment Council (NCEC), court documents obtained by the group, ‘confirm that Forests NSW are unable to meet timber commitments and are having to pay out mills for timber that never existed’. NCEC president Susie Russell said that ever since the NSW government gave new Wood Supply Agreements for timber from public land to

millers in 2004, Forests NSW have not been able to supply the committed volumes. ‘At the time the new Wood Supply Agreements were issued there was abundant evidence that Forests NSW’s resource estimates were grossly overstated and unreliable,’ Ms Russell said. ‘Unfortunately at that time the NSW government removed a clause that was in previous agreements that allowed timber commitments to be reduced in line with yield reviews. She says that it was then that timber giant Boral initiated proceedings in the Supreme

Court against Forests NSW in 2010, claiming Forests NSW have been unable to supply them with contracted timber volumes since 2002. ‘The court documents show that Forests NSW were forced to pay Boral half a million dollars in 2006 for undersupply to that time. Since then supply has been declining and Forests NSW now owe Boral almost twice as much again. ‘Forests NSW have also been forced to buy back timber commitments from other millers. ‘In vain efforts to meet shortfalls Forests NSW have been

over-logging plantations, cutting trees before they mature, increasing logging intensities, logging stream buffers, logging trees and areas required to be retained for threatened species and buying timber from private properties. The crisis is real and ongoing. The gross overcutting now happening must be stopped immediately. Timber quotas must be immediately reduced to a sustainable level.’

New community art donated by Dahlsen Acclaimed environmental artist John Dahlsen has offered a sculpture on loan to the community. A camphor laurel treetrunk that grew in Tyagarah became a piece of artwork entitled ‘Monumental Art Piece’ and looks to be installed on a temporary/loan basis at Main Beach in Byron Bay. The sculpture was made over a two year period between

2008 and mid 2010, and uses organic oil, beeswax and concrete plinths. It was considered at this week’s Council meeting, with all Councillors in favour of the idea. Cr Woods said she was ‘blown away by the [ArtScape] sculpture show and this is a wonderful gesture – I look forward to seeing it on the foreshore’.

proceeding with stage two. Most recently in 2010, Council voted to allow secondary dwellings (granny flats) in residential areas. Following a collective community groaning, Council also deleted requirements for s96 contributions in April this year.

Since then, ‘over 20 development applications have been received,’ says Mr Darney. Council’s facilitation of secondary dwellings in residential areas raises the issue of Byron Shires most obvious, and controversial, solution to affordable housing – secondary dwellings in rural areas.

Science a gas as CSIRO visits school Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Students at the Ocean Shores Public School got a scientific treat last week when the CSIRO Show visited with a program full of experiments. Children from kinder to year six saw displays of cool chemistry, space science, weather and climate change with a special Early Learners’ Science Lab for the infant children. The show put on programs for the kids over three days

with each stage attending a 90 minute show and a one-hour science workshop. In the senior show, CSIRO’s Brett Pearce did a demonstration of the effect of liquid nitrogen on several objects, including a plastic bottle of water and a balloon sausage dog. After the sausage dog’s LN2 bubble bath, he was a bit worse for wear; however, a few seconds back in room temperature saw the rubber pup bounce back to his old self.

Coal-seam gas blueprint launched by Nationals Federal leader of The Nationals, Warren Truss, has just released a blueprint for coal-seam gas development in Australia. ‘Managed properly,’ he says, ‘coal-seam gas has the potential to revitalise parts of regional Australia, delivering a new economic boom. ‘Poorly managed, it could become an environmental and social disaster.’

Five principles Mr Truss says a set of five principles were formulated after The Nationals adopted a coal-seam gas policy in August.

They are: 1. That no coal-seam gas development should proceed where it poses a significant impact to the quality of groundwater or surface-water systems. It must be absolutely clear that no coal-seam gas development should occur unless it is proven safe for the environment. 2. Prime agricultural land is an increasingly important natural asset. It must be protected from activities that destroy its capacity to deliver food security – not only for our nation, but for a hungrier world, for generations to come.

3. Coal-seam gas development must not occur close to existing residential areas. People who have bought a home, with a reasonable expectation of being away from mining operations, must not be thrown into turmoil by coalseam gas operations springing up on their doorstep. 4. Landowners are entitled to appropriate pecuniary returns sourced by reason of access to their land. Remuneration for landowners should not be limited to compensation. 5. The regions that deliver much of the wealth from coal-

seam gas developments deserve to see a fair share of generated revenues reinvested in their communities. This is an opportunity to grow our nation and encourage a lasting legacy from coal-seam gas developments. ‘The state governments have primary responsibility for the approval and supervision of the coal-seam gas industry and The Nationals recognise the role and efforts of state governments in dealing with this issue.’ He added a discussion paper on specific policy options to achieve the core principles will be released shortly.

Demonstrators highlight unsound banking investments on Saturday. Picture Harsha Prabhu

Ned Kelly, Australian bushranger and icon of the underdog, made a special appearance at an anti-big-banks and corporations action day in Byron Bay on Saturday November 5. The action was part of a global day to highlight the role of big banks and their investment in unsustainable industries like uranium mining and coal-seam gas. Ned’s message to the people was: ‘Move your money out of the big banks and put them in credit unions. ‘I won’t rob them, and they

won’t rob you and your children’s future by investing in toxic shit.’ The Byron Bay polite squad was also on hand to record the crime scene, which was littered with the victims of banking malpractices. As Ned led away by the polite squad, he was heard grumbling: ‘I always knew banks were unsafe as they were vulnerable to robbers like me, but these days the banks have become the bandits.’ To see what banks invest in uranium, visit nuclearbanks.org.

Under his leadership, Tweed Shire Council recently won this year’s AR Bluett Memorial Award, considered the most prestigious local government award in NSW, together with three RH Dougherty Awards for

excellence in communications in the past 15 months. Mr Rayner, 59, said the advance notice of his retirement would provide sufficient time for council to recruit a replacement before a new council is elected in September 2012, and would avoid any crossover in the recruitment process. ‘I am very relaxed about the decision that I have made – life is short and it is important to always keep that in perspective,’ he said.

Mullum pool push for solar heating Catherine Baker

When the ‘Mullumbimby Baths’ were officially opened in 1967, the then NSW minister for public works said that no other ‘baths’ in the state had been built so entirely by volunteers. He paid tribute to all the tradesmen, parents, teachers and grandparents of the Brunswick District for helping to make such an ambitious learnto-swim-facility available. At the end of a lengthy campaign, the Mullumbimby Baths Committee was able to hand over the $60,000 pool debtfree to Mullumbimby Municipal Council in 1971. Several years later when the pool’s filtration plant started to break down, volunteers once

again began looking into the idea to extend the pool to an Olympic 50-metre facility. Fundraising began in 1984, and the community responded. By 1992 the Mullumbimby Pool Extension Fund Committee had raised $100,000 selling raffle tickets and suchlike. The state government matched that sum dollar for dollar. Although the Byron Shire Council confirmed its commitment to enlarge the pool at this time, there were still four years to go and a number of hurdles to clear. But the fundraisers never let up, increasing the community contribution to our current Olympic pool to $180,000. Not bad indeed, for a town the size of Mullumbimby.

Revelations of relationships revealed in new book Local author, life coach and mother of four boys, Pollyanna Darling, has just published a new book, The Relationship Revelation. Drawn from Pollyanna’s life coaching work and her own journey from a ‘dismal relationship reality to a beautiful connection with another human being,’ The Relationship Revelation gives the reader powerful tools to shift out of old patterns and limiting beliefs and into creating the intimate relationship of his/her dreams. Mandy Nolan says of the

book, ‘Oh my God, I’ve been going out with myself all the whole time. ‘No wonder it was always such a disappointment! ‘You know it was so much easier when I could sit back and blame men for all their inadequacies without having to even contemplate mine!’ A free mini-workshop on relationships is on Friday November 11, from 5.30pm at the Byron Medicine Wheel, in Byron Bay. Please RSVP by phone 6685 8366. For more visit www. pollyannadarling.com.

However, that’s not the end of the story. As in any authentic community effort, the story doesn’t just stop. It evolves. So – now we have this sparkling facility, officially opened in 1996. The next question is: Can the pool go solar heated? With it closed for four months every year, this valuable asset is under-utilised. Thankfully the current crop of volunteers continuing the community tradition couldn’t agree more. The Friends For Heating Mullum Pool, Inc. (the FFHMP) formed in May 2010, and have actively lobbied for such a facility. The FFHMP has been given an estimate of $600,000 for a solar heat-pump system that will feed electricity back into

the grid. To this end, while looking into a number of possibilities such as grants and corporate funding, the FFHMP with Mullum pool is holding a Swim-a-thon at the pool on Saturday November 19.

Swim-a-thon on November 19 Anyone can participate either in a team or as an individual. The Lions Club is doing the BBQ, and the FFHMP would be happy to see any of those volunteers from the pool’s earlier days joining in. For more information on the Swim-a-thon, and registration and sponsorship forms, enquire at the pool or visit www.friendsforheatingmullumpool.com.au.

Dog baiting in Billinudgel Reserve Wild dog control has begun in Billinudgel Nature Reserve near Ocean Shores and those with dogs are advised to keep clear. The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Tweed Area Manager, Damien Hofmeyer, said the 1080 wild dog baiting program will be be in place until November 30, 2011. ‘Domestic animals are not permitted in the Reserve at any time,’ Mr Hofmeyer said. ‘1080 baits are lethal to domestic dogs and given the proximity of Billinudgel Nature

Reserve to Ocean Shores, people are reminded that domestic animals must be kept under control at all times, including at night’, he said. Mr Hofmeyer says the baits are buried beneath the soil surface at designated bait stations. ‘This reduces the likelihood of the poison being taken by native animals and ensures unused baits can be collected and disposed of properly. Areas that are baited will be signposted.’ For more information contact NPWS on 6670 8600.

Lennox Head Mo Bros join the fight against prostate cancer and depression Lennox Head locals are rallying together to join the fight against prostate cancer and depression with the annual Movember challenge. From November, Lennox Head Café owner Marius Chmurzynski has put the call out for the ‘selfless and generous men of the town’, otherwise known as the Lennox Head Mo Bros, to forgo the razor for the month and groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. ‘There is no better excuse not to shave for a month,’ explains Marius. ‘Who knows, it might be me one day whose life is saved by the money we raise.’

Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their mo growing efforts in support of the two biggest health issues facing men in Australia – prostate cancer and depression. ‘We want all the Lennox blokes to show their support by joining our team for the Movember challenge. ‘Our goal is to raise $2000 for the cause. We will be giving away some great prizes at our Gala Movember party at the end of the month.’ You can join the team or donate to the cause by dropping in to Café Marius or on line at the Lennox Head Mo Bro fan page on Facebook.

Not only is this a 50 per cent improvement but it beat two other hospitals in the region. The Tweed hospital had a ratio of 1.65, or 15 infections in 90,654 bed days; Byron scored 1.7, although that equated to just one infection in 5,869 bed days. By comparison, Ballina scored 0.75, relating to two infections over 26,771 bed days. Both Mullumbimby and Murwillumbah hospitals topped the list, scoring perfect zeros. Amanda Hagan, chief executive officer of Australian Unity

Healthcare, said for many years Australian Unity has called on governments to increase transparency on quality and safety issues in hospital and health care settings. ‘Each preventable infection, surgery revision or hospital error is paid for by the community,’ Ms Hagan said. To find out how your local hospital rates, simply go to www.myhospitals.gov.au, search or browse to your local hospital’s page and click on the safety tab.

Staph infection rates improve Chris Dobney

A new enhancement to the MyHospitals website allows anyone to check on the record of their local hospitals in combating SAB or staph infection. According to an editorial published in the Medical Journal of Australia, 20.6 per cent of patients diagnosed with SAB (Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia) died within 30 days. While many forms of SAB are difficult to treat with drugs, most are preventable by simple www.echo.net.au

methods such as doctors and nurses regularly washing their hands between patients. Last year Lismore Base Hospital was one of the worst-performing hospitals in the state, with 3.4 for cases for every 10,000 bed days between April 1 and June 30. The national benchmark is 2.0. A quick check on the website shows that this figure has improved significantly to 1.46 during the period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011, equating to 15 infections in 102,716 bed days.

An article over the weekend suggests that Rudd thinks that this process is already well underway; he is reported to believe that the serious right wing factional bosses – Stephen Conroy, Bill Shorten and David Feeney in Victoria, Mark Arbib in New South Wales, Don Farrell in South Australia and Wayne Swan (who?) in Queensland – now

If this is so, after taking the six men’s own votes out, they must have an average of just one and a half followers each, and might as well give the warlord game away and take up knitting. But even if Rudd’s assessment is a touch optimistic, the hard fact is that the faction leaders’ powers consist of the ability to deliver two things: promotion within the caucus, and numbers for preselection. In the current circumstances the former is hardly worth considering and as for the latter – well, there’s not much point in tying up the preselection if there’s no prospect of holding the seat anyway. In a doomed party, the war lords become paper tigers. As far as anyone knows, Rudd has made no direct overtures to any of them, although his supporters (and yes, he has a few) are letting it be known that, if reincarnated, he would

in the same way the Liberals returned to the previously rejected John Howard. There are just two things wrong with this strategy: Gillard is not Downer and Rudd is not Howard. For starters Downer was only the leader of the opposition. Gillard is prime minister, and as such is a lot harder to shift. And it hardly needs to be said that she is also a lot smarter and tougher than the preposterous pretender replaced by Howard. And Howard was the last man standing; the Liberals had already tried and discarded every other possible contender for the job with the exception of Peter Costello, who then, as ever afterwards, didn’t really want it anyway. Rudd might not have quite such an easy run. If the right is to give Gillard the tap on the shoulder, there has been talk of an ABR (Anyone But Q See also Mungo’s video at Rudd) candidate, possibly the www.echonetdaily.net.au

seldom-seen Defence Minister Stephen Smith. It is only a vague and ultimately selfdefeating possibility; any such contender would be seen as another creature of the same faceless men who gave you Gillard in the first place, and would be even more unelectable. If there is to be a change, Rudd is Labor’s only hope. But such is the visceral dislike of him among a hard core within the caucus that it would not, could not, be an easy transition. Gillard would be unlikely to go quietly, and her own rusted-on clique would not wait long before it began to white-ant Rudd all over again. He would almost certainly have to chance his arm with an early election before the process got too far advanced and while whatever honeymoon the voters were prepared to offer him lasted. And early elections are a risky business at the best of times, which this most emphatically isn’t. All in all it is not a tempting scenario; the current program of muddling along and hoping that something will turn up seems likely to continue for a while yet. And of course most of the media will continue to ignore the real issues of government while slavering obsessively over the opinion polls: ‘If an election were to be held next weekend which party would receive your first preference?’ ‘But hang on, an election won’t be held next weekend‌’ ‘Shut up and answer my stupid, meaningless hypothetical question.’ Such is the breadth and depth of current Australian politics.

be more accommodating the second time round. And of course, if the faction leaders fall out among themselves, and there are some signs of rifts developing, it can only help Rudd’s cause.

More growth needed at West Byron Q Does Byron have a town plan any more? They were a great concept! Town planning gazettes councils’ planning and intentions well in advance and directs developments towards community needs. It also signals local councils to budget and plan necessary infrastructure well in advance, and land owners have reasonable rights over their own properties when the zoning is unambiguous. Now it seems that only lobby groups and naysayers have all the control. The likes of Mr Pugh are selling the notion that more housing will cause traffic issues, but he must assume that residents have caused the traffic chaos in the first place. What a crock! Anyone who really lives and works here knows that the town has outgrown the road in, and the residents don’t cause the traffic jam. He also questions the number of residents it will create because some owners have been filling the garages to create an extra bedroom. Doesn’t he understand that this occurs because

of a lack of affordable housing? Byron is creating a mess due to the lack of planning and supply of affordable housing is a real community issue. I think we should accept the need for the West Byron precinct and get on with the job of fixing the traffic and road problems as a separate matter of urgency. I am not one who believes we need to put a fence up to keep people out, but we should hold Council to account for the lack of planning. If Council did its job, developers wouldn’t need to go to state government to get sensible projects approved.

I am 40 years old and I cannot afford housing in Byron. It has become an investment town for the superpowers. The people who work and actually keep the town going can’t afford to live here. I feel sorry for people working in cafÊs. They have to live in a house with five other people just to pay the rent. For some reason there are people who don’t want Byron to grow for the good of the young people. The faster West Byron is approved the better.

The economic benefits that the development will bring over the next 20 years are immense. We need industry and employment here in Byron Bay, as we cannot rely solely on tourism. As a parent, it is a concern that if our children want to stay here, the lack of land release has pushed prices up to the point where regular wage earners may now be unable to achieve the dream of owning their own home. As a business owner in the industrial estate, I experience on an almost daily basis the severe impact of traffic delays to motorists on Ewingsdale Road trying to enter Byron Bay. I believe West Byron will also be a much-needed catalyst to achieve government action on our traffic issues, which should have been fixed many years ago.

otherwise, they could be taken to court. It’s highly unlikely that an outsider would be interested in the welfare of our locals and the unique nature of our ‘community’ markets would disappear, also I suggest much of their appeal to visitors, a good example of killing the goose. I don’t know how limited councillors are by state requirements but strongly suggest they work together to protect our markets and stallholders which, as Patrick points out, are important to the Shire’s economy.

As I recall, my explanation for Basil Cameron winning the deputy mayor vote was that Jan Barham was away (due to circumstances beyond her control) and could not vote. According to Patrick Morrisey (in last week’s Echo) this statement is ‘pure folly’. I must be missing something or Dr Morrisey can’t do sums. Your other correspondent on the subject of the Council, John Youdan, is unfamiliar to me but he obviously feels he has a firm grasp of Council matters – doubtless attained by diligent reading of the business papers and attendance at meetings. This being the case I am amazed that he seeks to perpetuate the popular myth that the mayor can’t handle the

Power to youth

The Echo editorial (‘Don’t give up on the young’, November 1) is not only spot on; it should be loudly applauded. Our communities, indeed our human existence, is dependent on the younger generation making a stand. Back in 1962 at Gerde’s Folk City in New York City a little known song-and-dance man sang a tune, ‘How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man? How many seas must the white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, how many times must the cannonballs fly before they are forever banned? The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind. The answer is blowin’ in the wind.’ Forty-nine years on the words of Bob Dylan’s song still ring chillingly clear. We need our young people to be challenging the status quo. Their parents and elders have not got it right. We have continued to bomb the planet, we have dug up the earth, we have polluted the skies and now we want to frack the water supply. The greatest moral challenge of our generation is right here, right now. Power to the local young people wise enough and brave enough to be taking a stand for this generation and the next. I applaud you. We, the planet and your children need you to be loud, proud and fabulously courageous. Paul Spooner

Juicy Love

Juicy Love Pty Ltd, trading as Wicked Campers, has coughed up $26,400 of its backpackers’ hiring fees in fines to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. The

ACCC claimed Juicy targeted price-sensitive backpackers and budget tourists easily confused by complex pricing ads on websites and in magazines. Juicy did not provide a single total price for the hire of vans that abound in places like Fishheads’ carpark. Mandatory additional fees and charges were not sufficiently disclosed in advertising. Byron’s tourist consumers may have been misled into thinking their mobile worlds were cheaper than what they actually were. At least the golden sunsets and the lull of the surf would have eased the stress on the spreadsheet. Graham Bassett

Questions for Richard

I’ve currently got a court case going against Council – not over illegal accommodation but over whether my multiple occupancy is still valid. In order to establish Council’s bad faith I issued a subpoena. On August 11 this year Council had a secret meeting about me to which I was not invited. I needed to know what took place. I now have the secret staff report in front of me and a transcript of the debate. Very interesting. Certainly there was the expected funny business from staff about what a terrible person I am and something needs to be done etc, but what surprised me was a telling contribution from Cr Richard Staples: ‘I’m frustrated by this. I wonder whether Buck$ would have any reason to exist if he didn’t have a gripe with Council‌ where his life would head...’ Dearie me! Richard Staples is this Greens councillor who has trouble getting re-endorsed by the Greens every election because he’s so lazy and so devoid of passion; he never puts up any notices of motion and is never proactive. Don’t get me wrong; Richard has a kind heart and he’s one of the better councillors in terms of how he votes. It’s just that if the Greens set out to save the world then they’re not choosing their saviours very well! Ideals without grit are mere fantasies. So I challenge you, Rich-

ard, to get off your arse and do something useful for once, some research: 1) Of the almost 40 cases of unauthorised rural housing currently on Council’s books how many of them are rednecks, farmers or mates of Ross Tucker’s? 2) Of the people who went through the Community Title process how many are happy that it took ten years, cost them at least $250,00 and had to put up with endless obstacles placed in their path by Council staff (with the result that Community Title has been a resounding flop)? 3) Of the hundreds of holiday letters in the Shire who have benefitted from Council’s benevolent blind eye, how many of them are ‘hippies� in any sense of the word? Do you get my drift, Richard? A lot of people out there are starting to suspect that there is a systematic drive afoot to get rid of one demographic and replace them with a wealthier and more congenial one. That would explain a lot, wouldn’t it. Fast Buck$

Moronic survey

This week I received the latest Byron Shire Council Community Survey with my latest rates notice. It would seem that Council specialises in moronic surveys. Being asked to strongly agree or disagree whether such things as planning for the future, the provision of essential services, maintenance of existing infrastructures, protection of the natural environment, sustainable tourism etc etc are important seems to me like the height of imbecility. Where can I find out who devised this and how much it cost? Simon Bate

Faith in a youthful green future While I respect the comprehensive and well-informed nature of Dr Mark Byrne’s critique of the recent history of the environmental movement (Echo, November 1), I feel there is more to be considered. It fails to acknowledge the massive mainstream groundswell of a once-fringe movement. As documented in Paul Hawkin’s book Blessed Unrest, it would take 4.5 days of continually rolling credits to name the ever-increasing number of international grassroots organisations. While their efforts are often unreported and disregarded this has in no way dampened the enthusiasm of a very real force gaining strength and momentum through conscious, cooperative practical action. Politically the elevation of the Greens Party to a viable third party option speaks of the heart and will of the nation. That our leaders have not had the courage to harness this determination will certainly be their demise. Many natural-born leaders are rising up from the fringes of discontent that circle the all-too-often law-breaking, profit-driven behemoth that denies our de-

pendence on and love of our planetary home. The indomitable Kimberley woman Kerri-Ann Cox personifies the maturation of the youthful spirit applauded by Michael McDonald in last week’s Echo editorial. Her call to sovereignty is an outstanding example of the marriage of ancient wisdom with cuttingedge law that is informing and empowering the individual, community and collective mind of our times. As the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC) so bravely stated, ‘It is the young Australians who will face the consequences of decisions made today. That’s why we have the vision that will deliver the short-term political impact and long-term cultural change needed for a safe climate future.’ It seems that this age of information immediacy allows the next generation of environmentalists an accelerated model of coherence that greatly improves upon a less integrated past. For example, ‘flashmob’ gatherings organised by mass texting which manifest instantaneous expression of a unified voice. It is up to those of us who still believe in the resil-

ience of the human spirit to resource, encourage and inspire their vision. To wholeheartedly occupy planet Earth.

Brunswick Heads Q Mark Byrne’s measured lament on the shortcomings of environmental activism. And he’s right: for those of us who care about the health of the planet (hands up if that does not include you), ecological success stories have been depressingly few and far between. But there’s room for at least limited optimism. The simple ‘narrative’ that Mark is seeking ‘to counter the “magic pudding” myth of endless economic growth’ is bubbling away under the surface, and may soon emerge in the form of a powerful worldwide movement. I’m talking about economic localisation. Whether we’re concerned about the obscenities of Wall Street or the decimation of old-growth forests, about gas fracking or rising unemployment, the common denominator is a corporate economy so vast and so distant that it is structurally incapable of representing the interests of people and the earth.

ingly, we are coming to realise that the future lies in reducing the scale of the economy, so as to bring it under democratic control. In an era of climate change and peak oil, economic globalisation has no future; sooner or later, biological limits will force us to move in another direction. But much better if we choose to take action now: not just through supporting local initiatives in the area where we live but by exerting pressure for political change – demanding, for instance, that all the multitude of taxes, subsidies and regulations that currently favour the large and global be shifted to favour instead the smaller and more local. (Have a look at our recent film for more about this: www.theeconomicsofhappiness.org.) The really good news is that the measures we need to take as a matter of ecological necessity – of survival – are the very same measures required to rebuild our fragmented communities and, ultimately, to increase our own individual sense of life-purpose and wellbeing.

Our prevailing winds and constantly north-travelling currents cause erosion even on calm days. So there is continually sand being carried north with the ebb of waves, which ultimately creates a ‘scalloped’ effect on the shore line – sand eroded from the coastline farther south is carried along on the current and deposited on

the beach farther north. When sand accumulates it is called accretion, the opposite of erosion. And this cycle continues on up the coast. Sea level varies with changes in atmospheric pressure. It can rise up several metres over very large areas under large lowpressure systems and depress the ocean level under highpressure systems and when a high tide and a low-pressure system coincides you get erosion and no amount of carbon dioxide tax is going to stop it.

to reach the accident scene. I only hope there are no lifethreatening accidents in the immediate vicinity of Bangalow when the new highway is completed. I am not convinced that this will be the case as statistics show the majority of accidents happen within five kilometres of your home. Another issue which concerns me is that both Newrybar and Bangalow fire brigades’ viability depend on the number of callouts they attend. If they cannot access the highway, will this mean that one or both of these will close and Bangalow and the surrounds will not have the same protection that we currently have? I think finally some businesses in Bangalow now realise that without the through traffic their businesses will suffer financially. I hope the GFC disappears very soon as this added stress may put some out of business. All I can say is that selfish residents have put the lives of our loved ones in danger and I hope they do not live to regret this stupid decision. Raymond Hick

Let us spray

I am someone who abhors the overuse of chemicals in every aspect of our society but the fact that some people believe that we are being sprayed indiscriminately from the sky seems ridiculous to me. This is an oft-heard conspiracy theory in this shire over the last decade, but surely more worrying (as noted recently by a letterwriter to these pages) is that our council regularly sprays toxic chemicals by roadsides and all over footpaths. This is a horrible practice and I am constantly gobsmacked and appalled that it occurs, but to suggest that ‘someone’ (the government I assume?) is spraying us from above (to make us unwell or stupider) is astounding. Incidentally, I do subscribe to Chomsky’s theory of manufacturing consent, but perhaps our shire’s counter-culture and its ensuing paranoia, bred over the last four odd decades, has mutated commonsense into conspiracy theory. Although, perhaps it’s true – maybe ‘the powers that be’ are spraying us with an airborne serum that makes us believe in conspiracy theories. Derek Kelly

Council (Graeme Faulkner) is not usually a source of humour for this citizen. However, Graeme Faulkner did put a smile on my face this morning – when I read his response to my correspondence addressed to Council. I informed Council of the risks speeding pushbike riders on Jonson Street footpaths pose to the disabled, elderly www.echo.net.au

and children and requested that Council signage the two most dangerous areas – outside Dendy Cinema and near the country/interstate bus stop. According to Graeme Faulkner, Byron Shire Council is not the ‘appropriate body’ to carry out the request that Council erect (or paint) footpath signage; and he suggested that I address my ‘concerns’ to the NSW Police Force. A picture of the local cops down on their knees painting pictures of a pushbike in a circle with a diagonal line came to mind. Would the police have to remove their guns in order to avoid any nasty accidents? Where would the police put their guns while working on the signs?

Blaming the victim

Guilty until proven innocent is our attitude to refugees who arrive by boat. Is it not racism to reverse our normal trial procedure? Is it not blaming the victim? Or the transport system supplying market demands? If, as both government and opposition would have us believe, the object of the exercise is to save lives at sea, break the people-smugglers’ ‘business model’ and process refugees offshore then the government might lease a foreign-registered cruise liner. It could then pick up passengers in Kuala Lumpur and various Indonesian ports and drop them off in Australian ports as and when they were cleared. Meantime, lessons in English and Australian cultural values and school for kids. Brownie points for volunteering and social/cutural interaction.

Just to make the Shire aware that the gas company Metgasco that is operating in Casino has recently come out saying in ABC News that the ‘idea of building a floating natural gas facility off the New South Wales north coast (Ballina) remains in the earliest stages of planning’. The chief executive Peter Henderson from Metgasco says, ‘If we manage to sell gas to an international customer and convert it into liquefied natural gas, LNG, then the option would be to put a floating LNG facility off the NSW coast.’ That would mean a pipeline running from Casino to Ballina! Now is our time to have a say. If you are opposed to this plan, feel free to write a letter to Metgasco before they get a chance to continue on with their proposed plans.

Each year the the Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society create the beautiful Australian Weather Calendar, showcasing a carefully selected portfolio of images representing the diversity of Australia’s highly variable weather and climate. The calendar for the end of the world as we know it, 2012, has detailed information on the calendar’s broader theme: A Wider Environmental Perspective, which reflects the Bureau’s expanded role as a leading provider of

environmental information across oceans, air, land, water and space. The picture here is by Matt Smith, a warehouse supervisor at Wollongong, NSW, who risked his $15,000 mediumformat camera to capture this double rainbow at Wombarra Beach in January 2011. It survived the rain. Rainbows are formed when light from the sun passes through raindrops in the atmosphere. As the light shines on the surface of the droplets, it is refracted, or bent. It then reflects off the back of the

drop and is refracted again as it passes back through the surface of the droplet. Blue light refracts at a greater angle than red light, resulting in white light being separated into its spectrum of colours. A rainbow is an optical effect dependent on the position of the observer. If you travel towards a rainbow, it appears to move further away. Similarly, a rainbow viewed from above, such as from an aircraft, appears as a full circle rather than the semicircle when viewed from the ground.

Survey explores older men’s friendships Is friendship key to alleviating loneliness, depression and poor health and wellbeing in older men? Rebecca Shaw, associate member of the Australian Psychological Society, has explored the meaning and importance of friendship to men in later life. In her focus group survey of 40 men from the Hawkesbury and Blue Mountains areas, average age 71, Ms Shaw found there is a strong need among older men to come together with other men – to belong. This ‘community of men’ nourishes their sense of self, and this gives them a sense of purpose or belonging. The fulfilment of friendship beats the depression of retirement. This is important in the context that the rate of suicide among men steadily increases after the age of 70. Despite the documented links between friendship and health and wellbeing amongst older adults, there hasn’t been a great deal of research into friendship. And what is known has been mainly informed by studies of women, or comparisons between men and women. Four themes of friendship

These old blokes seem to get along.

emerged from Ms Shaw’s study: dimensions of friendship, dynamic nature of friendship, importance of friendship and the community of men. Ms Shaw found that older men understood the dynamic nature of their friendships, that friendship groups will change over time – through death, ill health, distance and historical circumstances such as war. Men also face a unique set of circumstances as they grow older. Many suddenly find themselves outside of the established friendship groups that have nurtured them for years. Retirement is a case in point. Many men have had their identities and friendships

<echowebsection=Articles>

tied up in work for decades. When they leave the workforce they also leave friendships, with many left feeling isolated and lonely. Widowed men can also find themselves in the same unhappy position. They no longer feel part of friendship groups that have been formed by married couples. Ms Shaw found that the need for friends, and the importance of friends, is greater in old age, particularly in the context of increased ill health and disability. Many men linked a lack of friends to loneliness and linked loneliness to depression and other mental health problems: ‘John: I think, as you get, as

you get older, you seem to realise friendship is more important than anything else. ‘Roger: Oh, the friendship, and the conversation is, yeah. Because, those, ah fellas of my age that don’t converse or get together or what have you, seem to be the ones that’re coppin the dementia, Alzheimer’s, and (yes, yep, yeah) they’re endin’ up in the nursing homes long before you expect them to. ‘Bart: There’s no doubt about it, talking about anything makes the problem a bit easier (yeah) if you’ve got somebody else helping, it really does (yeah, yeah), if you’re feeling crook (yep), you know, somebody says ah, don’t be silly, Bart, come and have a drink, or come and have a game or do something you know.’ The diversity of personalities among men points to them seeking out different types of friendship. Those drawn to OMNI (Old Men New Ideas) groups (www. omni.org.au) are more likely to have personalities open and willing to share problems, while other men will seek out activity-based relationships, and others still prefer informal friendships.

Brunswick Heads Osteopathy SHIATSU is the world’s oldest modality. By applying firm pressure to the body, the flow of Ki (vital energy) is stimulated to all the organs, resulting in profound relaxation and healing. Musculoskeletal distortions are corrected by pressure to points and meridians in the ancient oriental system of healing that treats body/mind as one; psychological problems may also be helped by Shiatsu. Our bodies can be likened to a battery with trillions of cells of electrolytic fluids and associated currents. Overwork, poor diet and stress cause the battery to go ‘flat’; the fluid balance becomes muddy and dehydrated. Come to Peter Scholz at Brunswick Heads Osteopathy and recharge your battery… See advertisement for special offer for November.

in fees on their bank statements. You didn’t read the PDS/FSG/Condtions of Use brochure before you went and in many situations the teller at the bank isn’t versed in how they are all applied either. Travel cards are the alternative to the now obsolete travellers cheque. The Travel Card is for the security and peace of mind of locked in local currency that traveller’s cheques used to afford, combined with the ease of plastic without the fear of credit card fraud. But be careful; all are not created equal. Often the travel product is almost as fee heavy as the local card they are professing to replace. Is there are load fee? Reload fee? Unload fee? Is it a flat fee or a percentage (10 vs 80 on a load of AU8000)? Does the card expire? If used outside the country of the currency, what’s the cross-currency conversion fee? When is a conversion fee happening? Does it have benefits like travel, medical and legal assistance? A charge for replacement cards or to provide emergency funds if your card is lost or stolen?

The figures above are not typos. Fees are less than half of those with Australian Super, one of the largest industry funds. That is a stark difference from the perception of the types of funds financial advisers recommend, created in the all too powerful medium of television.

The cost of advice! We all need help from time to time so if you are thinking of getting financial advice, industry funds also have advisers who charge fees (as we do) for the provision of a financial plan – ‘Statement of Advice’.

The Aussie Dollar’s still up there and the Reserve Bank has cut the interest rate so you’re thinking about traveling? Across the board the Aussie is buying high, and with great air and accommodation deals we’re all being tempted to step ‘off the island’... Your spending money by and large makes up the majority of a trip cost. When do you buy FX or how do you choose your travel money product? It sounds like Latin that rate info; the number on the tv and the internet doesn’t match what they have at the bank, so many of us say ‘I’ll just take my cards’ or ‘I’ll get some at the airport’. Convenience WILL cost you. Your cards may seem easy, but there are numerous and almost ‘invisible’ fees attached to debit and credit cards when used internationally. Up to four lots can hit your card on every transaction. Daily rate fluctuation, cross currency conversion fees, ATM fees, overseas transaction charge, international cash advance fees and, lord forbid, credit card interest charge and no interest-free period if you EVER need to cash advance. Regularly Aussies come home to hundreds of dollars

Too many Australians go straight to their bank and sign up to the standard loan package. The years pass and they don’t look at what has changed in the loan market or what has changed in their own financial situation. Does this sound like you? Would you go to a supermarket that just sold the one brand of products? When you go straight to your bank you are doing exactly that – shopping with only one brand. You can only choose from the products and interest rates offered by that bank. The product suite varies greatly from bank to bank and it’s important to know what offerings are out there so you can make comparisons of your bank and the competitors. We have over 50 approved lenders and we can find the right loan solution to suit your financial situation. Recent customers of mine went to their local bank and were about to sign up to a loan when a friend of theirs advised they speak with us.

Do you know that local employers are bucking the trend toward employing people with disabilities? Recent media reports claim that employers lack an understanding of people with disability and exercise their prejudices by not employing people with characteristics deemed undesirable. Earlier this month federal minister for employment participation, Kate Ellis, released results of a new Australian study claiming employers continue to operate under the misconception that people with disability will be less productive. Northern Rivers and Gold Coast businesses are bucking the trend in droves as they increase their demand for a talent pool that has traditionally been overlooked. Despite a tough economic climate, vacancies exist throughout the region and local employers are more than willing to cast aside prejudice to embrace a valuable sector of the labour market that is willing and able to meet their needs. We have canvassed a large number of businesses in the last three months, of which a staggering proportion had immediate vacancies; but more importantly the majority were open to employing as part of their team a person with an injury, illness or disability. What we now know is that we are in a region full of savvy business operators who have readily identified the value of tapping into a non-traditional talent pool as a means to sustaining their business into the future. As a result, we have a number of vacancies available and we are calling for expressions of interest from people with disability who are professional, tertiary and/or trade qualified and who are ready to embrace local employment opportunities. Recognition is due the local business community for their vision and for becoming part of a local solution to the skills shortage by partnering with us. Hopefully more employers will follow the trend and reap the rewards. Expressions of interest may be registered with Karen Daley at ON-Q Human Resources on 1800 761 561.

DYING TO SEE YOU There’s a coffin lid in my lounge room. As the family files past I wait for comments. ‘What the f is that?’ ‘Oooh creepy,’ and finally from my husband, ‘I suddenly feel very nervous’. Before you start perusing garage sales for an unwanted Mandy Nolan painting and going through my rubbish for celebrity trinkets of empty spray tan and shiraz bottles – I should let you know that I’m not planning on checking out just yet. The coffin is for an exhibition for Day of the Dead this week. Although I could die right here. Sometimes when I’m daydreaming I wonder how I’ll die. It’s strangely titillating. Will I have a heart attack during my welcome back to summer brazilian? Will an apple roll under the brake while executing a tricky reverse park and I’ll plummet to my death at the lighthouse? Will that angry vegan from down south finally stab me in the heart with a carrot? I don’t know. All I know is how all the people in my family have died. My maternal grandfather tried to electrocute himself a few times in a failed suicide attempt, then sadly had a heart attack after the institutions fried him with electric shock therapy. My father died in a head-on car crash, at 30, drunk out of his mind. My grandmother got cancer about eight times but finally died from the long-term organdestroying effects of radiation. Death is like a mystery bet at the TAB: you just don’t know what’s coming for you. This week I made my will. I’ve never had one before. The coffin lid, the will, it got me thinking that I will probably die this week. I’m almost prepared. It’s funny how uncomfortable we are talking about death. We always act like it’s a surprise. I think that’s why it’s so hard to know what to say to a bereaved person. Death is inevitable; timing of course, and the method of our demise is perhaps the most unfortunate bit. We mutter ‘I’m sorry’ like we killed the person, and the person with the terrible grief must suffer not only their pain but the excruciating sense of discomfort from friends and loved

Jeepers Creepers Huxton Creepers, a band that anyone with a passing familiarity with the Australian live music scene in the 80s would know, captured a generation of fans with their delicate blend of power pop and good old rock and roll.They are now set to re-release their re-mastered classic album 12 Days to Paris, a double CD featuring bonus b-sides, live tracks, demos and other Huxton Creepers rarities. They have played on the odd occasion since they went their separate ways at the end of the 80s and this 12 Days to Paris Rerelease Tour will most likely be the last time the band will perform as a group. The Creepers will appear alongside Ups & Downs at Byron Bay Brewery in Byron on Saturday.

Day of interconnectedness On 11.11.11. the ‘World day of Interconnectedness’, CBD Dub Project are coming out of hibernation for a spring show.

CBD Dub create a sublime sound built on solid grooves, rhythmic beats, vocal harmonies and loops layered into all original songs in the style of dub-reggae, soul and trip-hop. CBD have played a wide range of gigs from big dance-parties and festivals to more intimate weddings and cafes. They’ve played alongside Kora (NZ), Easy Star All Stars (dub side of the moon), Wicked Beat Sound System, and The Black Seeds (NZ). Join CBD bringing their smooth sounds back to the rails for the first time in two years. The Rails on Friday.

ones who don’t know how to offer their love and kindness in an appropriate way. When my father died I hated going to school. I hated going to birthday parties. I was just six years old but I could feel this pity. People felt sorry for me. They whispered kind things behind covered mouths. I felt like freaky pity girl. I remember hearing one mother encourage her six-year-old daughter who had always hated me to give me a birthday invitation. ‘Go on, Sharon,’ she said, ‘give the invitation to Mandy. That’s the poor little girl whose daddy died.’ I thought , ‘Yeah, Sharon, you stuck-up little bitch, give it to Mandy… hang on, I am Mandy.’ Oh the strange, goosebumpy, burning-eye teared shame of it all. We may have reclaimed birth but we still do death badly. We mourn when we should celebrate, we avoid when we should confront and we fear when we should embrace. Death is beside us every day. It lives in our house. It’s in our car. It’s in the air we breathe. We are infinite souls in a finite body. We exist with grace. (Or in my case, without it.) I am not saying this predicting that I am one of those people who will die well. I won’t. I think every lump is cancer. Every twinge a heart attack and headaches, well they are clearly brain tumours. It’s hard to talk about death. It’s always shrouded in depression, or it’s dour, or people become excruciatingly uncomfortable because they are suspicious that the mere mention of death could put them at risk of dying. Don’t tempt the death monster. Pretend you are immortal. Until you’re not. Doesn’t give much time to come to grips, does it? If you can make peace with your own death I guess you can make peace with your life. I always thought that I never wanted to die, but my grandmother said something recently which really struck a chord. She’s nearly 95, she’s blind and a bit deaf, living in nursing care, but as sharp as the proverbial tack. Just recently she was talking about who got what when she died and I said ‘Oh Nanny, stop saying that, I hope you live for a bit longer yet’. She paused and looked unimpressed: ‘Really? Do you? I certainly don’t. I’ve been ready to go for ages. I am sick of waiting. I feel like everyone I knew or loved is at a party and the bus has forgotten to pick me up.’ She’s still waiting. But she’s got her ticket out and ready.

Michael played drums for much of his musical life with cult bands the XL Capris, Tactics, and Motorvaters as well as supporting bands such as The Cure, Eric Burden, John Mayall, Ian Dury and The Blockheads, and many more. It was when Ian Dury invited him to sing Sex & Drugs & Rock ’n’ Roll that singing became his passion. When he moved to the north coast he formed bands such as Farmerz Frenz and the HellHounds. This weekend he gets together with his old mates Bruce ‘StickMan’ Edge guitar and Mr Mysterious on bass as well as more. See Pidgey Boy on Sunday at the Billinudgel Hotel.

y e l r a Se Girl SINGER/SONGWRITER RENEE SEARLES DIDN’T FIND HER WAY ONTO THE STAGE UNTIL SHE WAS 40.

s r a t S

‘It was always a fantasy hidden deep down inside of me,’ she laughed, commenting that what got her going was something quite different. ‘It was doing the comedy and getting up on stage that opened my eyes. I got to see that even though it was uncomfortable I am at home on stage. All those performing opportunities as a comedian helped me see I was a performer, and that I want to sing.’ Renee the comic performer is quirky and physical. What is she like on stage as a singer? ‘It’s a very different persona. I love the cutesy oldtime avenue. It’s a way of showing though the romantic side of me.’

Neptune turning direct in the sign of communal solidarity and future trends suggests that humanity might finally start working together to remove its collective finger from the self-destruct button…

Renee believes that performing is something that most of us are mystified by but the lessons are clear. ‘I discovered that when it comes to performing it’s not about being in the right mood, or having enough training, or I learnt piano as a child; none of these things matter at all. It’s about actually taking what you do have and using it, and more comes. You do your apprenticeship on stage. You learn to be a singer by being a singer. I wish someone would tell us that.’

“Really inspirational... It’ll blow you away... It’s a corker movie...” Fitzy and Wippa, NOVA FM

Q&A

Sat 12th November. MEET THE STARS.

Audiences love watching new performers evolve. ‘Actually we deprive each other by not having a go, because people actually enjoy being part of the process of watching someone evolve and take a risk.’ Songwriting for Renee is about humanness. ‘I write songs about being a human being with frailties and shortcomings and the power is in admitting them. You know we are all heroes in our own lives – we are all striving to do our best. What comes back to me is that I like to see my life and other peoples’ ordinary lives in a mythical grand way. Thats why I like hearing songwriters I like because I get to hear my struggles and tenderness singers presented in a beautiful way.’

WITH LILITH

K LIBRA: With credit crunching and decisions even more difficult than usual, use Einstein’s theory of the intuitive mind as a divine gift and the rational mind its faithful servant to choose your best move. Just don’t fork out funds till you’ve got second opinions and done thorough investigation. L SCORPIO: Your present astral package features leadership, self-publicising and being more outgoing as this week’s assertive energy has you saying Yes rather than finding reasons to say No – especially when Friday’s full moon issues an invitation to relax, kick back and indulge in your favourite earthly pleasures. M SAGITTARIUS: Venus in Sagittarius adores exploring, investigating and experimenting, so this week’s optimal for voyages of selfdiscovery. Which could mean a wake-up and a shake-up when Friday’s full moon shines a light on where you’re (shock horror!) stuck in a rut or old habit pattern. N CAPRICORN: If an old tape loop is repeatingrepeating-repeating, take an honest look at the part you play in attracting these recurring dramas. That done, end-of-week full moon in Taurus flatters your earthy virtues and attracts others to the anchor of your Capricorn practicality. O AQUARIUS: Wanting a new beginning but unclear where to start? Neptune heading direct in Aquarius brings new clarity to replace present confusion or disillusion. Now you see the potential for a fresh approach, break things down to manageable steps – but leave room for magic to do its thing too. P PISCES: Your planetary ruler Neptune going direct updates your belief systems to liberate you from certain illusions so you can make more informed and realistic decisions. Then Friday’s full moon highlights the need for a complete rethink of time and energy management strategies…

For Renee Searle’s show at the Mullum Bowlo this Saturday she is backed by a very impressive line-up. Ambika on piano, Oles Krolikowski and Marcus Patterson on guitars, bass, lap steel and ukuleles and Pete Wilkins on drums. ‘This is a big sound, beautiful guitar, and lap steel, and again I feel really blessed that they want to do it,’ she says. ‘It’s lovely being held and supported – it’s a beautiful feeling and more than that it makes the music sound amazing. It’s incredible seeing the music come to life when the song was just a little thing plucked away on a uke on a futon on the floor, and suddenly it comes to life and takes on a path of its own and that’s a wondrous thing… it’s like magic… actually it is magic.’ Ukulele songstress Renee Searles is feature act at this month’s ‘Live at the Bowlo’, Saturday in Mullumbimby. Tickets from Mullum bookshop and at the door. 7.30.

E ARIES: Dealing with this week’s concealed information, covert operations and hidden agendas isn’t easy, so watch your step. Gossip, rumours, half truths and outright disinformation are all operating, so don’t believe everything you hear or even what you think, because all necessary data isn’t available yet. F TAURUS: This week shared ventures, rather than saving, could end up being more expensive, so fully investigate all costs, obligations and responsibilities involved. Friday’s annual Taurus full moon boosts your sense of personal worth to meet increased activity in your house of friends, competitors and alliances. G GEMINI: This intense week isn’t the broadspectrum kind Geminis like, but it’s excellent training for late November’s retrograde challenges. Health initiatives are essential if you want to look good, as who doesn’t at this time of year. And it pays to be helpful, especially around Gemini Junction. H CANCER: A week for secluded enjoyment of Crab Casa’s domestic pleasures, especially during full moon. Although Friday’s lunar balloon in Taurus is more settled than most, spending it in your cosy comfort zone nesting with close ups will ease the rest of the week’s trials and tribulations. I L EO: Just about over power struggles, ego battles and control freaks? Aren’t we all. So get busy catching up on unfinished business, because ticking off this week’s to-do list will give you a feeling of accomplishment until others come around to your point of view. J VIRGO: With this week’s planetary pressures bringing a corresponding crunch in earthly affairs, you’ll have to factor in regular doses of joy to maintain an even balance. Growth and progress may not be obvious but be assured that like time-lapse photography, everything’s definitely moving, shifting and evolving.

monkeys and bohemians of Byron and beyond can draw them. This month we thought it was time for some aerial spectacle, and to help with that is one of Australia’s most legendary and dynamic performers, the beautiful Miss Lena Marlene. Lena is a master of just about any aerial or acrobatic style you can name, so she’s going to thrill you with some death-defying and graceful posing high above the drunken heads of the excited crowd below. And from Lena’s ‘Scoundrelles’ School of Pole Dance and Burlesque is the exquisite Miss Lillian Lace in her Dr Sketchy’s debut and Mae Wilde will be back in the saddle as our stunning and manic MC, so its going to be a classic night of Sketchy fun and frivolity. Doors open at 6.00pm, and the Sketching runs from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. If you’re drawing, bring your own art materials. If not drawing, just bring some friends, grab a Martini, and sit back to enjoy the fun and glamour. It’s an over-18s event at the Byron Bay Brewery on Tuesday.

Last week’s solution

What’s cooking in the National Theatre With food, cooking and eating the new black, the National Theatre’s production of Arnold Wesker’s The Kitchen is a play for our times, despite being set in a 1950s London restaurant kitchen. Thrown together by their work, chefs, waitresses and porters from across Europe – English, Irish, German and Jewish – argue and flirt as they race to keep up with the orders piling up in near chaos. High-spirited chef Peter seems to thrive on the pressure; in between preparing soups, cutlets, omelettes and fruit flans, he starts an affair with married waitress Monique, all the while dreaming of a better life. But in the all-consuming clamour of the kitchen, nothing is far from the brink of collapse. The second play in the 2011–12 season of NT Live, The Kitchen screens at Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas at 1pm on Saturday 12 November and Sunday 13.

SATURDAY 12 ABC 1

Aunty pays tribute to Australian animator and director Sarah Watt, who died of cancer last week aged 53, by playing her moving and funny film Look Both Ways (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm). Starring Sarah’s husband William McInnes and Justine Clarke as the Watt-like Meryl, the film chronicles the mishaps of a worrywart who sees disaster at every turn, expressed brilliantly by Watt’s animation. A wonderful legacy from an inspiring life.

The Byron Shire Echo November 8, 2011 25

cinemareview Anonymous The debate is resurrected from time to time about who really wrote the works of William Shakespeare. Was it Ben Jonson? Christopher Marlowe? Or somebody else who happened to call himself Shakespeare? (God forbid that it might have been a lowly, known actor, a commoner from the shires.) No conspiracy theory yet has proved to have legs, but the subject is always good for a ‘what if’ story. The name of Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford (Rhys Ifans), has now been thrown into the ring and if the worth of director Roland Emmerlich’s labours is lost in the convoluted telling of his pot-boiler, that does not mean that he has not made a ripper movie. Nonetheless, the question must be confronted –

despite the implausibility of his argument and the fantastically long bows that he has drawn (the Oedipan incest was a bit much, even for me), how many people will swallow it as fact? No less a theatrical luminary than Derek Jacobi presents the case for de Vere with an almost regal introduction and summary, but I fancy that the film should be appreciated first and foremost as an entertainment and, as such, it’s as good a costume drama as you are likely to see this year (to be honest, I loved it). To do with the succession of the English monarchy – before flashbacks to her youth, the story begins with Elizabeth in her dotage, without an heir, and James VI of Scotland being positioned to accede to the throne – the film’s finest achievements are visual and atmospheric.

shots of Elizabethan London are splendid (CGI can do this so convincingly), while the rowdy, participatory nature of performances at the Globe are spine tingling – wait for Henry V’s famous speech before the Battle of Agincourt and see how the crowd reacts to it, and later, the thinly disguised presentation of the Queen’s advisor, hunchbacked William Cecil, as the longreviled Richard III (it makes much contemporary theatre look insipid and irrelevant). Bogus but intriguing. ~ John Campbell

The Hunter Screen funding bodies have never been reluctant to throw money at projects that present Australia in a negative light. The arts community in general looks down on the mob and likes nothing better than to rub its nose in what it regards as its insensitivity. Though not codified in so many words, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the guiding principle for the industry’s bureaucrats is ‘if it makes ’em feel rotten, we’ll back it’. It follows, then, that this movie must be seen as a triumph, for I wanted to neck myself at its close. In fact, there are fatalities near the end, at the hands of an intruder who plays no part in proceedings before or after, that I can only assume were written into the script to ratchet up the misery component (thus making it more deep and meaningful to the boffins). Willem Dafoe (yes, we are still hiring overseas stars to pull the punters) has been hired to find a reported Thylacine in the wilderness of western Tasmania. But even his motives are cause for dismay – a mercenary rather than conservator, he’s working for a company that wants to exploit a chemical in the animal’s body fluids, meaning that he stalks around laying barbarous steel traps everywhere. Tepid romance is kindled by his lodging with a greenie’s widow (Frances O’Connor) and her two little kids, provoking some jealousy in Sam Neill’s ill-defined character. The area’s loggers, a bunch of

roughneck stereotypes who play pool and abuse him at the local pub, are a hateful lot who you suspect had something to do with the disappearance of O’Connor’s idealistic husband – a plotline unexplored. Lovers of landscape cinematography will be in their element, for there are plenty of shots of Dafoe wandering around in the bush, doing that man-and-nature thing. But an intimate, erotically charged scene inspired by Bruce Springsteen’s I’m on Fire, and a spiritual minute with a sublime CGI Thylacine aren’t enough to make up for the boredom and browbeating. ~ John Campbell

Crazy Stupid Love Coincidences underpin most fiction, especially at the movies. It’s the ‘of all the gin joints in all the world’ principle – we would not have had one of cinema’s greatest love stories had Ilsa not turned up unannounced at Rick’s Bar, so its impact should never be dismissed. But there is a doozy in this warm-hearted and thoughtful rom-com that is withheld for so long that you’d be forgiven for feeling a bit dudded by what is an otherwise refreshingly sophisticated script. It concerns the identity, exposed in the climactic scene, of the third child of estranged couple Cal (Steve Carell) and Emily (Julianne Moore) – but enough said. Cal and Emily are separated after twentyfive years of marriage when Emily sleeps with workmate David (Kevin Bacon). Daggy Cal, who has never been with another woman, is devastated and hits the drink at a local pick-up joint. There he is befriended by Jacob, a stubble-chinned Lothario who, deciding that simpering Cal needs to man-up, transforms him into a ladykiller – but one who, deep down, still pines for his soulmate. Carell, a polished comic actor of the rare and endangered lowkey variety, is so much in his groove here that it would be

easy to overlook the subtly juggled contributions of a faultless cast, all of whom are shown equal consideration by directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. The screenplay cleverly targets a broad audience by comparing and contrasting the relationships of people at different stages of their lives – the older Cal and Emily, twenties-something Jacob and Hannah (a vibrant Emma Stone) and nine-yearold Robbie with his agonising

crush on babysitter Jessica. And what a treat it is to be in the company of characters who ring true, rather than foul-mouthed galoots and ghastly ladettes. Youngsters driven indoors by inclement weather packed the session I attended, and they squealed with laughter at anything risqué, but grown-ups will find the humour more inclusive than mocking. The resolution is corny – but in the best way. ~ John Campbell

A dark-hued slab of unadorned, solid-looking confectionery still warm from the oven, it lacked the theatrics of the glorious Peach and Macadamia Pie which won the second annual Mullumbimby Farmers Market Bake-off – until you took a mouthful. Owner of ‘Milk and Honey’ Chris Pellen and I tried, tested and tasted most of a dizzying spread of cakes, tarts, pies, desserts, biscuits, salads and savouries which locals had concocted in their homes then brought in to the showgrounds. Ingredients had to be sourced from the farmers market previously, and apart from a preponderance of macadamia-starring creations, the diversity was as broad as the produce available in the region. Brazilian Nadia had made a cassava cake, using her mother’s recipe. It was startlingly few in ingredients and simple in execution, and yet this was the cake I actually returned to for, I am ashamed to say, third helpings. Dense, moist, ineffably spicy, it was everything I ever want a cake to be. And cassava – what in God’s name was cassava really anyway? Stallholder John Piccone grows and sells this root crop among a plethora of rare tropical fruits and nuts on his 130 acres at Tyagarah. Before I went there to visit him he was already enthusing about its culinary uses. He steams, boils and bakes it as he would a potato; much later he very nearly sabotaged my diet by offering me some of what we decided he should call Sweet Cassava Rosti. But that came later. Cassava, sometimes called yucca or manioc, is native to South America, flourishes in tropical and subtropical areas and is the third-largest source of food carbohydrates in the world.

Some describe it as the ‘bread of the tropics’. From it comes tapioca, made from the residue of the root after its poisonous prussic acid has been pressed out. It appears to be mostly used in sweet dishes, and to be sure many Asian as well as South American countries have their own (all rather similar) versions of cassava cake. The cassava is generally grated then combined with sugar, coconut or coconut milk, some form of fat and flavourings, pressed into a cake form then baked. Nadia was gracious enough to share her mother’s recipe which, she told me, was ‘all about sustainable’. When she was a child growing up on a farm about 1200 kilometres from San Paolo, she would accompany her father to a neighbour’s sugarcane farm in order to make rapadura, a byproduct of sugarcane juice, and then exchange it for ‘the leg of a cow’. This would be brought home for her mother to add to the backyard cassava grated, the homemade butter and homemade cheese (like a hard ricotta, said Nadia), cow milk and eggs – ‘all the ingredients you can get at the farm’. Nadia, who has been in Australia since 1995, adapted the recipe a little – her own cassava was still growing so was not ready; she used a mixture of cheeses, neither homemade – but yielded nonetheless this most extraordinary cake. The rapadura sugar she sourced from the market and I suspect it was this which endowed the cake with its slightly spicy, faintly caramely flavour. Something else Nadia said remained with me. Cassava is so resistant to extremes of weather, tolerating long winter droughts and summer rains and thriving on the poorest soils, that you can always rely on it as a food source. To think of that much possible pleasure so freely accessible in your own backyard!

Integrity takes industry award for second time in 3 years A subsidiary of emerging national property identity, the Integrity Group, has again taken out the peak New South Wales Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) Professional Medium Builder of the Year Award for 2011/2012. Integrity New Homes took out the award from a quality field of leading builders for the second time in three years – having previously won the award in 2008/2009. Integrity New Homes managing director, Glenn Leet, said the award recognised the efforts of the entire team in a difficult and challenging marketplace. ‘Awards are not an excuse to pat yourself on the back,’ he said. ‘New home construction is very competitive with many potential pitfalls, so it is crucial to remain customer focused, professional and concentrate on the tasks at hand.

‘However, when a peak industry group like the Housing Industry Association acknowledge the overall performance of a company across all aspects of construction from innovation and client communication through to quality assurance and financial systems, it highlights the business is heading in the right direction. ‘It also sends a message to future and existing clients they are dealing with a business which is striving, and having some success, in its quest to be an industry leader. ‘We will continue to improve our business and strive to achieve great outcomes for our clients,’ Mr Leet said. The HIA Professional Builder of the Year Awards gauges the performance of building companies in Australia in four key areas including: customer service, leadership of the company and business and financial management.

Termites turn off potential buyers

A poll released by PRDn a - tionwide shows termite damage is the biggest deterrent for house hunters when searching for a new home. More than a third of respondents (43 per cent) considered termite damage as the most off-putting building fault when house hunting. The PRDnationwide survey found 32 per cent were deterred by cracks in the foundations while 22 per cent felt asbestos building materials were important to avoid. PRDnationwide managing director Tony Brasier said only three per cent thought a leaking swimming pool was the biggest deterrent. ‘Significant termite damage

may require demolition of a significant part of the home which would be extremely costly,’ said Mr Brasier. ‘Termites are so aggressive they could cause hundreds of thousands of dollars damage to property in only months and a lot of prospective buyers are very wary.’ Mr Brasier said even though asbestos is widely recognised as a hazardous material – its removal can be very expensive. Identifying these major building faults is best not left to after the purchase is finalised, warned Mr Brasier. ‘Carrying out building and pest inspections is essential,’ he said. ‘Often purchasing a home is a decision made with the heart – but to avoid heartbreak these issues need to be evaluated before rushing in to purchasing.’ He said it was also a good idea for sellers to have these problems rectified to increase the chances of a sale.

Time is running out for NSW first home buyers Stamp duty concessions to be scrapped at the end of the year First Home Buyers (FHBs) may find that property purchases within their reach could be up to $17,990 more expensive on January 1 following the NSW State Government’s decision to scrap stamp duty concessions. According to Aussie’s Founder and Executive Chairman John Symond, ‘a combination of price inflation over the last 10 years and a lack of new housing have combined to make

the goal of home ownership completely out of reach.’ He said many potentially face a lifetime of living in apartments, however that window of opportunity is quickly diminishing as their prices continue to rise as well. ‘The scrapping of the concessions will mean many FHBs may be priced out of the market.

‘Those who have been counting on the concessions and may have only just scraped enough together, might find themselves unable to purchase come January 1.’ For example, a FHB who is looking to buy a property worth $500,000 may now be looking at a purchase worth $517,990, as the stamp duty post Jan 1 will be $17,990. In NSW, FHBs currently receive an exemption from paying stamp duty for property purchases under $500,000, with graduated discounts between $500,000 and $600,000. From January 1 next year, the stamp duty concessions will apply only to new homes, including those built off the plan. FHBs must have exchanged signed contracts before December 31, 2011, to be eligible for the stamp duty exemption. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the average weekly earnings for a fulltime adult worker are around $53,000 per year. Based on saving 20 per cent of pre-tax earnings, a couple earning this amount would have to save for approximately 5.5 years to save a 20 per cent deposit on a purchase of $500,000 ($100,000 + 17,990 stamp duty). With the stamp duty exemption on offer ($17,990 waived), the same couple would only have had to save for 4.7 years for the 20 per cent deposit.

Backlash The Carnival Of Life And Death is on again this weekend at Mullumbimby Civic Hall and Heritage Park. You’ll be able to honour the dead at Heritage Park at 3pm on Sunday, dance to Ali Baba at the Civic Hall on Friday at 7.30pm and take in ‘A Dying Art’ exhibition. Our Mandy comments on death this week in Soapbox. Our favourite version of Death is Terry Pratchett’s Death from his Discworld series of books. He talks in capital letters and likes cats. For example: ‘Don’t think of it as dying, said Death. Just think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush.’

Benno Summers – aka the lord of Duke Frederick’s court – and Rosiland played by Rebecca Magnus were part of the cast of last week’s performance of a steam punk version of Bill ’Anonymous’ As if cyclists without lights Shakespeare’s As You Like It staged by Shearwater School.
