Monks bless objects for peace stupa

Holiday letting test case brewing Simeon Michaels

When is a residence not a residence? When it’s a full-blown, purpose built tourist facility. This is the complaint levelled against the owners of Byron Luxury Beach Houses located at 59 Shirley Street, Byron Bay. The complex of six free-standing units within a fenced estate was recently completed following the demolition of three original cottages. It abuts the strip of serviced apartments that flank the entrance to Byron Bay. However, 59 Shirley Street was, and remains, zoned residential. The complex’s website www.byronluxurybeachhouses.com.au describes it as a ‘boutique resort’ complete with a concierge service for babysitting and gifts upon arrival. Prices range from $2,800 to $9,000 a week, with a three night minimum. Residents objected to the developments on the grounds that it would become a tourist facility. Approval was granted, but Council inserted a consent condition prohibiting its use as short-term accommodation.

Last Saturday and Sunday the Gyuto Monks of Tibet began the blessing of the Kalachakra stupa for world peace at Crystal Castle, Montecollum. Locals and visitors came on Saturday with objects to place in the base throne of the stupa. Monks first chanted over the objects, which included personal drawings and prayers.

More time for West Byron subs The NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure is giving the public an additional two weeks to comment on a rezoning proposal for West Byron off the south of Ewingsdale Road. The department said ‘technical issues that occurred this week with the online submission system have now been rectified and in recognition of this, the department has extended the exhibition period until Wednesday December 14’. The proponent, Byron Bay West Landowners Association, is seeking to have the 108 hectare site listed as a State Significant Site and rezoned for a

mix of residential, industrial, tourism and environmental protection. Anyone who lodged a submission after Tuesday November 29, and is unsure if it has been received, should contact Anna Johnston on 9228 6329 or Christopher Forrester on 9228 6383. Submissions received during the public exhibition period, along with the proponent’s response, will be made available on the department’s website. If you do not want your name to be made public, this should be clearly stated in your submission. The department says, ‘If the rezoning is approved, the proponent would

be required to lodge future development applications with Byron Shire Council before any construction work could occur on the site.’ The site study can be viewed during business hours at Byron Shire Council’s Mullum offices and Byron Bay Library and online at http://majorprojects.planning.nsw.gov.au – follow the links to the ‘On Exhibition’ page. Submissions can be lodged online, emailed to plan_comment@planning. nsw.gov.au, faxed to 9228 6455; or posted to Strategic Assessment, Department of Planning and Infrastructure, GPO Box 39, Sydney NSW 2001.

The validity of Council’s new holiday letting condition, and the court’s willingness to levy fines that are effective deterrents, are yet to be given the acid test. With the enormous revenues generated by the complex, a test case may be brewing.

Compliance vote

In related news, councillors voted 7–1 last Thursday to ease off on unauthorised dwellings in the hinterland and concentrate instead on unapproved holiday letting. Council has re-ordered its compliance priorities program to this effect, and only dwellings which threaten safety are likely to attract compliance attention. Cr Tom Tabart, who put up the notice of motion to accomplish the change in Council’s priorities, told The Echo he was happy with the outcome. He said he was also happy with mayor Jan Barham’s move to have Council write to the state government to seek low-interest loans for landlords so they could rectify compliance problems for their tenants in affordable housing. Council is expecting a staff report Order to desist to its December 15 meeting on some According to Ralph James, council’s 50 properties engaged in holiday letmanager of compliance, ‘This specific ting, legal or otherwise. condition gives us a much stronger legal basis to prevent holiday letting than the general provisions of the LEP.

Film brings insights to giving birth The Northern Rivers branch of Maternity Coalition will screen the film Birth Day at Red Tent Yoga Studio in Byron Bay on Friday December 9. Birth Day is a moving depiction of midwife Naoli Vinaver Lopez, a midwife giving birth to her third child in water at her home in Mexico. ‘Ms Lopez is very articulate and gives her valuable insights into the experience of child birth,’ said Sally Cusack, Northern Rivers branch president of Maternity Coalition. ‘We like to bring positive messages about pregnancy and birth to our community, as too often families come to the experience with fear and trepidation, and this film is a perfect vehicle for that.’ The film will be followed by a panel discussion featuring a midwife, a doctor and a mother on the full range birth choices in our local region, from home birth, water birth, breech birth, birth in a birth centre and local hospitals. ‘We get a steady stream of enquiries from local women wanting to access home birth,’ said Ms Cusack. ‘It is surprising but home birth with a registered midwife is becoming increasingly difficult to access in this region.

‘The North Coast Area Health Service is investigating the possibility of publicly funded home birth, but a service has not been introduced yet. And if a woman wants to employ a registered midwife privately, then her options are few and far between, unfortunately.’

staff discovered the garage was being used for dormitory style accommodation comprising mattresses on the floor, which lacked adequate ventilation or damp proofing to maintain healthy conditions,’ he said. ‘What was also incredibly worrying for staff is that the premises lacked basic fire safety measures. Both smoke alarms and a single fire extin-

guisher in the dwelling were not operational, and the buildings did not comply with relevant fire safety standards. ‘Further, food and hygiene standards were unsatisfactory and posed a significant risk to the health of the occupants. ‘There was minimal access to toilet, bath and laundry facilities to maintain clean and healthy conditions for the number of persons occupy-

ing the premises. The premises were constructed with asbestos building products that were in a dilapidated state, which also posed a health risk.’ Mr James also said the young people staying in the property had been charged an excessive amount of money for the accommodation provided. ‘The eight young people staying in the property as part of their schoolies celebrations told Council staff they had paid $800 each for the week to stay in a property which clearly lacked even the most basic health and safety measures,’ he said. ‘For property owners to take advantage of young visitors

simply looking to have an enjoyable time in the Byron Shire is inexcusable. ‘It is one thing to place too many people in a single dwelling and run the serious risk of a tragedy occurring had something gone wrong at the property, particularly during a week where people are often busy having a good time and acting in a care free manner. ‘But to charge an exorbitant amount of money for something so potentially dangerous is simply not on.’ Mr James said the owner of the property was issued with a court attendance notice for December 8 at the Byron Local Court.

Classic farewell for Harry and Quattro

Famous pianist and turtle enthusiast David Helfgott and his wife Gillian last Friday released green sea turtles Harry and Quattro at Main Beach, Byron Bay, on behalf of Australian Seabird Rescue. Harry and Quattro were admitted to Australian Seabird Rescue’s (ASR) Ballina Turtle Hospital almost three months ago. Both were severely emaciated, heavily barnacled and suffering from float syndrome as a result of ingesting plastic. ASR general manager and marine biologist Rochelle Ferris reports the turtles still face an uncertain future due to a dramatic increase in the amount of plastic debris in the oceans, and a corresponding demise of marine habitat and food resources. ‘We’re always happy to release turtles back into the wild, it’s where they belong,’ said Ms Ferris. ‘But with over 40 per cent of the turtles brought into the hospital affected by plastic, their ongoing survival is by no means assured.’ ASR has teamed up with local Say NO to Plastic Bag (SNTPB) campaigners to help reduce the threat of plastic to marine wildlife. The Helfgotts have offered their support to the campaign.

‘We are both excited about a personal encounter with an iconic and vulnerable species and I am even more delighted having just completed a final draft of my book, The Insightful Turtle,’ said Mrs Helfgott. “My friend and campaigner, Dee Tipping, has encouraged me for years to avoid plastic bags so it has all come together in a wonderful synergy of interests.’ Spokesperson for SNTPB, Dee Tipping, said the organi-

sation strongly supports ASR’s efforts to get signatures on a petition to the NSW government to ban single-use plastic bags. ‘NSW, sadly, lags behind the NT, ACT and South Australia, where plastic bag reduction policies have already been implemented. ‘Apart from an overload of unnecessary waste, our wildlife is injured and dying from plastic pollution so our BYO Bag campaigners are working hard to sign up pledges from busi-

nesses, organisations and individuals to commit to a drastic reduction in the use of plastic bags and waste.’ In addition to collaborating on the launch and the turtle release, ASR, SNTPB campaigners, Byron Community Centre and Byron United have all chipped in for a series of street banners that will be up around town for the month of January. Show your support for the campaign by signing the petition at www.seabirdrescue.org.

Franklins honoured for whale research Byron Bay-based marine scientists Trish and Wally Franklin have been recognised for their outstanding contribution to whale and dolphin conservation by being awarded a prestigious IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) Lifetime Dedication Award. ‘Trish and Wally Franklin’s research and community awareness work has made an enormous contribution to conservation and IFAW would like to congratulate the Franklins on 30 years of hard work to protect humpback whales,’ said IFAW Oceania director Isabel McCrea. Trish and Wally Franklin’s interest in whales began in 1976 and today they are among

Australia’s most highly respected cetacean scientists. Since 1988 via the Oceania Project (a not-for-profit research and information organisation) the Franklins have conducted numerous research expeditions

in order to better inform the conservation and protection of humpback whales, including a long-term photo ID-study of Hervey Bay humpback whales. ‘Humpback whale tails are as unique as our fingerprints,

which makes it possible to identify individual whales and today, the Franklins’ incredible photo-ID catalogue numbers over 3,000 whales,’ Ms McCrea said. Trish and Wally Franklin received one of seven IFAW Action Awards, which recognise people who have made outstanding contributions to animal welfare. The winners have been chosen from Australiawide nominations from friends, family and work colleagues of people who do exceptional work to benefit wild or domestic animals.

This Saturday the Mullum Potters present an exciting new exhibition of their work at the newly established Mullumbimby Community Art Gallery. The group meet Tuesdays and Thursdays around the potter’s wheel to share space, share knowledge and inspire each other. Faith Avidor, one of the organising contributors, said, ‘The whole idea is to have a diversity of artists. The idea of this exhibition is to be as colourful as possible.’ Secretary Richard Heazlewood-Ross is a firm advocate of the community enterprise and the important role it plays in the cultural life of the community. ‘One of the interesting thing that happens here is that the president of the group, Ellen Flounders, volunteers to teach special needs groups in conjunction with Red Inc,’ he said. ‘We have people coming from as far as Murwillumbah. They are currently creating work with a Harlequin theme for the exhibition.’ Richard believes that it’s important to showcase not just the work, but the space as well. ‘This is the only gallery specialising in 3D art.’ Ellen Flounders believes ‘it’s

Local News Umbrella Tree:

New BYS kitchen opened Mandy Nolan signs up

A bushland invader from tropical Queensland Escaped garden plants account for over 65% of Australia’s noxious and environmental weed species. Umbrella Tree is an escapee common on roadsides and bushland in Byron Shire.

Don Page MP officially opened the new Byron Youth Service kitchen, surrounded by members from the Lions Club, BYS management committee, tradespeople involved in the process, Friends of BYS and staff. Byron Creative Catering cooked up a storm from their new environment. Pictured, from left, are Richard Heazlewood-Ross, chairperson for BYS Management Committee, Stephanie Sims, BYS kitchen project coordinator, Don Page MP and Di Mahoney, BYS director.

Human rights day at Bay

Scientific Name: Schefflera actinophylla Family: Araliaceae Habit: Often multistemmed tree to 10m high. Leaves: Compound with 7–16 large, palmately arranged oblong leaflets. (Saplings 3–5 leaflets). Flowers: Small, red, arranged in a spike. Fruit: 3–5 mm long red drupe. Impacts: Invades and competes with native species in littoral and subtropical rainforest. Similar natives: Seedlings of Celery Wood (Polyscias elegans) can look similar but leaves are thinner, less glossy and have entire margins.

What you can do to help: Remove Umbrella Trees from your property and replace with a local native such as Celery Wood (Polyscias elegans). How to remove: Seedlings and saplings can be handpulled but must be hung off the ground. Or cut, scrape & paint with glyphosate & water at 1:1.5 or foliar spray with glyphosate & water at 1:50 + metsulfuron methyl at 1.5g/10L + non ionic surfactant. Shrubs/trees should be cut, scraped & painted or stem-injected with glyphosate & water at 1:1.5. Raise cut stems off the ground to avoid reshooting. Paint end of cut stump with herbicide. For more info see www.byron.nsw.gov.au/weedprofiles or contact the Bush Futures Project Officer on 6626 7219. Do not dump garden waste. It is illegal and contributes to the spread of weeds.

Saturday December 10 is the 63rd anniversary of Human Rights Day, and a group is gathering ‘as a community to stand in solidarity with human rights for all, as part of a global day of awareness focusing on these most precious of rights we share as humans. ‘We will meet at 10am in Railway Park in the centre of Byron Bay to fly the flag of human rights on the east coast of Australia. If you believe human rights are important, please come and show your support on the day. ‘This is also a day to lodge a protest against the over-policing of Byron Bay, with Byron being “occupied” by the Riot Squad, Sniffer Dog Squad and Mounted Police, ostensibly to keep the town safe from schools. Schoolies are welcome on this day! ‘Please brings banners, flags, percussion instruments and good wishes.

Local bereavement group planned for Byron Shire

THE BYRON SHIRE

For some time now discussions have occurred between members of the Byron Hospice Service about forming a bereavement group in the Byron area. ‘Within the BHS group of members much experience and expertise resides that may be beneficial to people who have experienced the loss of loved ones and who may wish to meet together,’ according to a press release. Carl Moore, a long standing BHS Committee member and carer, has undertaken to canvass the community, through recent ads placed in The Echo, to see what needs exist and what people may want from a bereavement group or bereavement hub.

There are many types of group format which support people who are bereaved. Carl has facilitated a local ‘OffTime’ bereavement group that ‘provides connectedness, succour, meaning, communication, fellowship, understanding, compassion and social outlet for people who have experienced the death of a partner or spouse while still relatively young’. The proposed gathering will seek to cater for all people who have experienced the death of anyone for whom there was much love and closeness. Carl is asking for comments on 6677 9359 from people who may be interested so that the resultant gathering is as relevant to needs as possible.

The Echo is different... You may have read about the closure of APN newspapers the Daily News in Murwillumbah, and the Coffs Coast Advocate.

THE TWEED

Unlike the Byron News, and the Lismore-based Northern Rivers Echo that sold out to APN, we’re not part of the huge multinationalowned APN group. The Echo has steadily become more popular over the years – we now distribute 33% more papers** each week than the Byron News.* And distribution of our sister paper the Tweed Echo has also increased since we started it over three years ago.* Even our new online newspaper Echonetdaily is different. Unlike other publications that just recycle their material on a website, we email out the Echonetdaily so that it’s like a newspaper in your inbox – fresh news each day that has different content to our other titles.

Young people from the Northern Rivers attended ‘Youth Leading the World’ last week, a three-day youth environmental leadership congress held simultaneously in over 20 locations around the world, connected by digital media. The congress focused on accelerating the shift to fairer futures by building a movement of inspired leaders. The participants aged from

ten to 30 came from as far as Iluka, Nimbin and Lismore to join young people from Byron Shire for the congress. ‘Our group’s vision for the world we want to see is – the community’s choice for living simply is growing gratitude for future generations,’ said year seven Byron High participant Sahaj. The young people have created social change projects

that they will undertake in the coming months as a step towards achieving their vision. Youth Leading the World Northern Rivers wishes to thank the volunteers who organised and facilitated the congress, and sponsors Byron Region Community College, North Coast Institute of TAFE, Byron Shire Council, Byron Youth Service and the local farmers markets.

Music stars turn out for school concert When choirmaster Andrew Swain invited fellow Byron Community Primary School parents to join him for a weekly evening sing-a-long, he didn’t expect his new ensemble to be performing a few weeks later alongside ARIA-winning artists and international rock stars. But the new BCPS Parents and Friends Choir will make its debut next Thursday night at a concert starring The Living End bassist and 2011 double ARIA-winner Scott Owen, 10cc guitarist Rick Fenn, ARIA-winning singer-songwriter www.echo.net.au

Gyan and children’s entertainer Michael Turner, among many others. The cabaret-style concert at the Byron Community Centre aims to raise funds for new instruments for the school’s renowned music department. And the line-up features the talents of BCPS parents and friends including Sarah McGregor, Potato, Thierry Fossemalle, The Jazz Drops, Brian Watt, Jube & The Boys featuring Triple Nip and 12-piece string ensemble Poco Vivace. For Swain and his dozen or so newbie choristers, it’s a gold-

en early opportunity to showcase a choir in its infancy – and hopefully encourage others to join. ‘I started the choir because I wanted to engage others, whether they were school parents or from the wider community, in a fun, uplifting group activity,’ said Andrew. ‘As it turns out, we’d only been doing this for about six weeks when this gig came along so hopefully more people will be inspired to join us.’ The BCPS Cabaret will be held on Thursday December 8 at 7.30pm. Tickets are $20 from 6685 8208 or at the door.

when it comes to the drainage issue. Is SGB the Shire’s canary in the coalmine when it comes to future water/mozzie-borne disease problems?

Michael McDonald

The constipated process by which Byron Shire councillors make a decision was in full fumble last Thursday as they voted 7–1 to get a report on the possibility of the likelihood, in principle at least, of buying a parcel of land at Billinudgel for sportsfields. The elegant fluidity of the runner or footballer it was not. The motion put up by Cr Patrick Morrisey, and seconded by mayor Jan Barham, will at least further the chances of the land being acquired. Cr Morrisey delivered the good news that most sporting groups seemed to be in favour of it and that it was ‘a great opportunity to meet the needs of residents in the north of the Shire’. Cr Ross Tucker, who voted against, took a cautious approach, noting there was a ‘a fair bit to do before we enter into negotiations’, including determining if the land could be subdivided and rezoned appropriately. He suggested Council would ‘look stupid if we can’t go ahead’. To the contrary, Cr Simon Richardson was all optimism, suggesting that ‘boldness has genius in it’, without attribution to Goethe (who didn’t write that anyway, despite popular myth), and that ‘normally the sky doesn’t fall in’ when you make such decisions. (Unless you have lunch with property

As part of Council staff ’s continued assault on Fast Buck$’s fortress at Coorabell, the rottweiler cross known as Mitchell came under scrutiny because of an existing ‘dangerous dog declaration’. While Mitchell has offended in the past, in 2007 according to the staff report, Council officers checking out Buck$’s stronghold noted that the dog now appears ‘old and arthritic’. Councillors took pity on Mitchell and voted 7–0 to revoke his declaration. (Incidentally, the staff report on this issue comes to about 4,500 words. Say an average of 3,000 words per report at 35 reports per agenda and your councillors are reading the equivalent of an airport novel before each meeting, minus the plot and excitement. Sentence of the week in a staff report goes to ‘Whilst a source of low-income accommodation is highly appropriate to identify, the above factors as to appropriateness are foundational to the identification process.’) Much more was done, and much more was said, no doubt, but other commitments – and perhaps self-preservation – called me away.

Gordon and Colleen’s 70th Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Gordon and Colleen Wraight celebrated 70 years of wedded bliss yesterday. The pair, who had already enjoyed a big family bash with family last week, had a quiet day at home in Brunswick Heads. The couple met at Mullumbimby High School, where Gordon was a friend of Colleen’s brother. They married a few years later on Friday December 5, 1941, in what was then the Lismore Methodist Church – Gordon a young man of just 20 and Colleen a lass of 17. Gordon, who had already enlisted in the army, spent just one month with his new bride before moving to the barracks. Over the next three years, in between his postings around the country and the world, including a stint in Borneo, the couple saw each other only

sporadically until the war ended in 1945. The couple moved into their house in Fingal Street in 1950 and settled into a happy family life, founding a dynasty of three children, seven grand children and nine great-grand children. Both Gordon and Colleen agree the secret to their happy marriage was the wonderful

family life they enjoyed. ‘We spent a lot of time with our kids,’ says Colleen. ‘We went everywhere together’. Gordon says including the kids in everything they did made a strong family bond. ‘We were so much in love and we still are’, he says. ‘We did everything together and with the kids and we are all very close’.

Carols by sea

Council’s feral pest traps bite: dogs, foxes caught Last month, Byron Shire Council called for expressions of interest from interested land owners who wanted help to trap feral animals on their land. In response, five EOIs were received from landholders and community groups, covering more than 20 properties in the Tyaragah, Upper Coopers Creek, Goonengerry, Main Arm, and The Pocket areas. The program is targeting

wild dogs, foxes and cats in an effort to reduce the impacts on livestock and wildlife. The traps have already caught six dogs, three foxes and one cat. Council has engaged an experienced trapper to work on properties that expressed interest in the program. Under the program, Council will pay the retainer to the trapper, while landholders will pay a ‘fee per carcass’ for each animal caught.

To ensure each animal caught is treated humanely, all traps being used by the Council program are soft-jaw traps recommended by the NSW Department of Primary Industries’ code of practice. The traps’ soft rubber jaws do not injure the trapped feral animals, and following capture the animal is euthanised in line with the DPI’s guidelines. The soft-jaw traps also allow

wildlife, such as wallabies, to be released unharmed should they be inadvertently caught. Council also has cage traps available to capture stray cats and dogs on their property. A trap can be borrowed by calling the Byron Shire Depot office on 6685 9300. Landholders wanting to participate in a baiting program should contact the Livestock Health and Pest Authority.

back in its box. So what’s the problem? Well, the conference and Gillard squibbed the vital, the crucial, the essential issue of party reform, that’s what. The proposals made in the report by John Faulkner, Bob Carr and Steve Bracks for opening up the conference to the party’s rank and file, of reducing the dominance of the unions and breaking down the power of

results The Australian insists upon – uranium sales to India, the endorsement of offshore processing and a conscience vote on gay marriage, to name but three. So why is the examination board so keen to see it overthrown? Could they, perchance, not quite have thought it through? Are they a touch inconsistent? All over the place like a dog’s breakfast? As crazy as a tin full of worms? We must

If Gillard and Swan persist with their manic determination to run budget surpluses irrespective of the circumstances it will hurt both us and them. by Mungo MacCallum the factions were tossed aside; the only concession allowed was to refer a few of the more innocuous suggestions for consideration by a committee run by the powerbrokers themselves. The cowardice, the shame of it. But hang on a minute: the push for reform is in fact coming from the dreaded left, the bunch of latte-sipping, basketweaving anarchists The Australian, along with all its right thinking readers (and by golly they are right thinking – most of their thinking is to the right of Genghis Khan) wants wiped from the face of the earth. These are the people totally out of touch with ordinary Australians. Give their airy-fairy ideas any real credence or substance and it would mark the end of society as we know it. And if not quite as bad as that it would certainly mark the end of the ALP National Conference as we know it. After all, it is only the rigid factional control that delivers the

it. The Australian can be relied on to beat up this boutique issue into a national crisis. The voters, however, are hardly likely to regard it as a pressing issue. After all, The Australian kept telling us that they didn’t – at least until it launched its own holy war. In practice most of what happened at Darling Harbour last weekend will not be of any lasting significance. When we get down to the nitty gritty of the next two years it will, as always, be the economy, stupid, and here is where both sides of politics are likely to flounder. There is now a growing belief among professional economists that Europe may prove unsalvageable and even if complete collapse can be avoided, the threat of it is likely to provoke a crisis of confidence among investors and lenders which will produce something horribly similar. Australia is in a stronger position than most, but cannot escape some fairly dire consequences: there is not a lot of money left for stimulatory measures this time around. If Gillard and Swan persist with their manic determination to run budget surpluses irrespective of the circumstances it will hurt both us and them, and given the fact that there is no-one in the opposition’s economic team who can count up to 21 without removing his trousers, there is not much hope from that side of the house. By the time the next election comes around, we’ll have more things to worry about than gay marriage. Indeed, even The Australian may be pushing it to find an open boutique to house its pet issue.

leave it to a higher authority (Rupert? The Pope?) to decide. Meanwhile, back at the conference; yes, the results were entirely predictable, as they always are. There were plenty of passionate speeches and much steam was let off and not a little shit removed from livers, But the participants were under no real illusions about the outcomes: the leader was to be supported, or at least not humiliated, and this is exactly what happened. Much has been made of the fact that she is now stuck with a party policy which she purports not to believe in, but this is a minor embarrassment and one which Labor leaders have frequently had to deal with in the past. Where Gillard’s problem is different is that her resolve and conviction will be tested on the floor of the House of Representatives: a private member’s bill to change the marriage act will Q See Mungo live at inevitably be introduced early next year and the Prime Minister can hardly avoid voting on www.echonetdaily.net.au

She is a qualified teacher, census coordinator and school debate adjudicator. The whole ‘geta-job’ thing is as passĂŠ as the ‘rent-a-crowd, ‘go-hug-a-tree’ jibes by the critically unimaginative. I may be a little old-fashioned but why our beautiful, natural, low-key caravan parks are being made over into upmarket, charmless, generic, gated ‘holiday’ parks and, moreover, how it’s being done, does need to be questioned. Many small towns along our coast are being treated in this arbitrary manner by state governments. It seems there are those among us who welcome with open arms and unquestioning faith any and every ‘change’ foisted on us by bureaucrats, politicians and vested-interest businesses but there are also many who live in and love this special place, not for what we

can get out of it monetarily, but for what it offers us in the way of a natural, environmentally sustainable, low-impact lifestyle. We will speak out for the protection of what is dear to us. I would like to finish with a nice little rant as per Ms Barker: Tree huggers unite! Eat fries with your eyes! Get out of town all mung bean munching, Bob Brown lovin’ hippies and stay out of our parks cause we only want tourists spending up big and putting their money into our town! Go figure!

Thirdly, unscupulous employers such as Russell’s deduct the compulsory 10 per cent but hold onto it. That shows in ATO records, but failure to invest in the super funds is not enforced. It seems the legislation has no teeth. And lastly, much of the employees’ contributions are most likely wasted or misappropriated by fund managers, if my little experience is a guide. My contributions from a few months’ work were frittered away to nothing over just two years behind a barrage of mumbo jumbo, figures and promotion of other products. Repeated communications and

Your title ‘Super suckers’ over Russell Thomas’s letter about superanuation (Echo, November 29) aptly sums up the system. The first con was that 10 per cent of employees’ income should be compulsorily invested on their behalf. This is inconsistent with democratic free choice. Secondly, it is an enormous boost for major listed companies, as year on year they can rely on 10 per cent of all wages and salaries to boost their share prices. But many of the contributors may struggle to pay for food or rent.

Brunswick Heads In response to Sylvia Baker’s letter, I wish to focus on the caravan park issue as opposed to the personal, with specific reference to the Ferry Crown Reserve. As identified on Council’s 1989 map, the recreational area for the Ferry Caravan Park is along the western boundary where the basketball hoop is located. The Crown Reserve open space and public recreational area along the foreshore adjoining the 20m wide public road reserve, Riverside Crescent, was that, ie a public parkland.

Q

Management had a lease to use the parkland for non-powered sites only at Christmas and Easter. These conditions were abused when management not only allowed camping all year but later installed powerheads etc. The consequences of this is the visible degradation of what was public parkland. In 1988 BSC reported that the then cabins illegally encroached onto 200sqm of the public road reserve. Additional cabins were later sited too close to the road reserve to be compliant. Closing Riverside Crescent so as to avoid incurring the cost of relocating the cabins will bring them into compliance. The Department of Lands is now using the Roads Act, a rarely-used piece of legislation, to ‘extinguish’ Council’s rights over the road. The land between the road reserve and the mean high tide mark does not have a 10m easement to allow public access along the foreshore. The bollards were Council’s 2004 attempt to contain the operation of the caravan park. In July 2006 the whole of the land (Lot 102 in Crown Reserve 74701), extending right along the foreshore to the mean high tide mark was ga-

zetted to North Coast Accommodation Trust. So, by closing Riverside Crescent, and having the whole of the foreshore it now gives the Department of Lands options as to how to develop the road reserve and what was parkland. This includes the option of revisiting the 2000 Plans of Management’s concept of a cabin precinct (mobile dwellings!) along the foreshore. Public access along the Brunswick River foreshore must be outside the legislated operational boundary of any of the caravan parks. The foreshores must be kept as Crown Reserve Public Open Space. This is the only precautionary position the public has against any future asset sale of these caravan parks. Surely the aforementioned are issues that are worthy of being shouted about? In the meantime, Sylvia ought to be concerned with the shift in meaning for permanent residents with the term ‘caravan park’ being replaced by ‘holiday park’.

requests for payout at retirement age were all ignored. This practice must be very profitable as my large employer had a very high labour turnover. Both Mr Thomas’s and my own experience illustrate that casual and lowly paid employees’ compulsory deductions have a low probability of being properly invested. Worse, employees have absolutely no recourse or powers in these matters. Add to that inflation and the instability in equity markets, it all may be worth very little in the end. I fear we were sold a lemon long ago.

The Bruns tree

The article in The Echo, page two of November 29, by Luis Feliu blaming pavers for the gum tree falling over in The Terrace caravan park at Brunswick Heads is rubbish. I was actually talking to a resident of The Terrace who lives adjacent to the gum that fell over. I went and had a look at the fallen tree – three quarters of the base of the tree was eaten out by white ants. That is what caused the tree to fall over. The people who laid the pavers cannot be held responsible for white ants, can they?

who make it hard to have these trees removed prior to them falling, with constant intrusions into a necessary process along the foreshore. The elderly couple who laid the paving never meant any harm and as very longterm residents they only wanted to make their backyard a little more accessible. They are not young and the ground was very uneven. I’m sure any reasonable person would understand that.

to the Shire. As most parking is already on a time-limit basis I fail to see how paid parking will detrimentally affect local businesses. Rather, an improved and well-maintained town can only be of benefit to business. It is unfair to expect the small ratepayer base of this Shire to continue to carry the huge infrastructure costs that tourism places on our region. Paid parking is a small initiative that could make a positive difference.

Police presence: the power, the passion and the pot I’d like to commend the police and the actions they have taken to ensure that schoolies celebrations are both controlled and safe for our young visitors. I’ve walked through town and seen it myself. It is full on and over the top. It also appears to be effective. Parents sending their children here can feel comfortable in the knowledge that our town provides a safe place for them to enjoy their end-of-year celebrations. The children here celebrating know that they won’t get away with causing problems. It’s not possible to say what would have happened had they not chosen this course of action. Possibly next year we could trial no police at all. Then if our schoolies celebrations become out of control who are we going to call? Ghostbusters? I think not.

Byron Bay Q I

am an adult and enjoy a cooling ale at the Rails. I and other regular patrons strongly object to police claims that ‘... there are people at the Rails who supply drugs’. The implication being that this extremely safe, quiet and friendly public house, frequented in the main by local tradesmen and other professionals, is some sort of iniquitous drug centre. Your report implies that the visiting builder who was strip-searched and found to be clean was, according to the police, making up his story to cover nefarious activities. This is outrageous and simply not true. I would suggest that having three times raided the Rails with a total of 24 police persons and dogs, stripsearched two people, intimidated the other patrons and found only two joints, the police would need to justify

years of the rubber industry in the Congo, if a man sent into the jungle to collect latex didn’t meet his quota, his children’s hands would be cut off. That’s the most appalling business practice I know of, but things haven’t got much better. I love chocolate, but it can leave a bitter taste in my mouth knowing that most cocoa is picked by slave labour. Why is ‘Fair Trade’ printed on a couple of chocolate brands, instead of ‘Slave Labour’ printed on all the rest? Because these kinds of business ethics affect nearly everything we buy.

the huge expense and use of resources. I’d like to direct the reader to the website of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties (www. nswccl.org.au/issues/sniffer_ dogs.php) where it is quoted from the ombudsman’s review of drug detention sniffer dogs in NSW that 73 per cent of people identified by the dogs are not carrying drugs. The police therefore have only a one in four chance of finding drugs on a strip-searched member of society. Is this the sort of society we want to live in? I’d also like to address those people who say ‘well if you’re doing nothing wrong, why be concerned?’ A similar rationale has been used by nascent dictators and fascist governments throughout history. It’s a slippery slope. And finally, Members of the College of Knowledge at the Rails barrels pass around only friendship, gossip and good cheer, not joints.

erations deter drug use, reduce drug-related crime, or increase perceptions of public safety. Further, criticisms of the costeffectiveness of general drug detection operations appear to be well founded.’ The review notes that 73 per cent of people identified by the dogs are not carrying drugs; most drugs detected are small amounts of cannabis; dogs are failing to detect drug dealers. The NSW Council of Civil Liberties brands the use of sniffer dogs a failure and

strongly recommends that police save scarce resources to fight serious crime rather than humiliate and harass people. Said Cameron Murphy, NSWCCL President: ‘…dogs are getting it wrong in three out of five searches. If speed cameras were getting it wrong in three out of five cases there would be public outrage and we would stop using them… The police are constantly complaining about a shortage of resources. When they do, the public should be asking why they are

wasting millions of dollars on useless sniffer dogs, instead of using the money to investigate serious crime… These dogs are nothing more than a very expensive public relations stunt.’ If you feel strongly about this issue and the over-policing of Byron during schoolies week, please attend the Human Rights Day rally on December 10, Railway Park, Byron, 10am onwards.

ers and suppliers. The suppliers partly or fully fund all sales. And the supplier is also billed for breakages that happen in the store! The retailers hold all the power, and they play tough! The article told how their ‘in-house’ brands search the planet for the cheapest possible suppliers, dramatically undercutting Australian suppliers. For example, cans of Aussie corn kernels at a very reasonable $1.64, up against corn from Thailand for 94 cents. Thai pineapple at half the price of Australian. They are the result of cheap labour. Then there are French, Italian and Greek peaches and peas 40 per cent cheaper than Aus-

sie competition, ‘dumped’ here cheap because of the EEC’s rural subsidy. (I don’t know how long rural subsidies will last with the mess Europe’s in!) When a duopoly like Woolies/Coles commands 80 percent of the grocery market, that sort of competition will quickly drive Australian growers and suppliers to the wall, with knock-on effects through our entire community. Why should the cheapest world price dictate the market price for the entire world? In anti-globalisation lingo it’s called ‘the race to the bottom’, because it drives down wages and working conditions everywhere. There are an estimated 27 million slaves working in the world today – way more than any other time in the history of slavery. And there are hundreds of millions more indentured workers suffering slave wages and conditions. If we don’t want to join them, we have to be prepared to pay a bit more to keep Australian growers and suppliers viable. Michael Balson

Another improvement I would like to see is regular acknowledgement of how individual councillors vote on issues.

Why do the other elected councilors fear the input of the local people when they want their views to be considered, and the council to represent their interests? An example of a decision which affects the residents of Lennox Head is the recent resolution for the proposed Cumbalum rezoning of rural land to be placed on public exhibition. The funding and delivery of the infrastructure required for this proposed rezoning has not been agreed to. How do the councillors imagine that the people of Lennox Head will respond when they find out that a new housing development at the top of Ross Lane has no planning or funding strategy in place to cope with the additional infrastructure required.

Shire needs to improve horse welfare Dawn Blackwell

It is a sad fact that Byron Shire has a high number of neglected and abused horses. It is not uncommon to see horses tethered to the side of the road, or housed in poor, weed-ridden pasture with unsuitable fencing, or even half emaciated/ wounded. There is little the RSPCA can or will do, and guidelines are so basic and outdated regarding welfare that tethering a horse to the side of the road for most of its life, being offered water just once a day, is deemed acceptable! There is also no monitoring of breeding, and it is not unheard of for unscrupulous owners to breed purely for the

‘doggers’, who pay around $500 per horse. This fee is soon to be reduced, as the supply of horses is outstripping demand. Abattoirs are full of ex-racehorses, young colts and stallions, and they can be held for many days in cramped conditions with no food and little water.

Off to slaughter Australia is one of the few socalled civilised countries in the world which allows perfectly healthy, sound horses to go for slaughter for no other reason than that they have outlived their use. Each year, 40,000 horses are processed for pet food. Unofficially, that figure could be as high as 90,000 to 100,000.

One magnificent charity is doing its best to save and rehome horses which are destined for dog food. Charlie’s Angels Horse Rescue (http:// charliesangels.org.au/) is an underfunded charity based in southern Queensland. I am a British-trained qualified Intermediate Instructor (equivalent to a Level 2 coach), now living in our own Mullumbimby. I will be conducting a riding clinic on December 10–11 to raise funds for this worthwhile cause. The day will consist of a series of private lessons and all proceeds will be donated to Charlies Angels. Bookings are essential. Phone 6684 4930 or 0411 819 968 for details.

Durban and bust? Low hopes for climate change talks Mark Byrne

Expectations could hardly be lower for the annual global climate change talks currently under way in Durban. According to pre-conference reports, a global agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol (which expires in 2012) is unlikely before 2016, with 2020 touted as its earliest starting date. 2020 will be at least three years too late. The International Energy Agency’s latest World Energy Outlook, re-

leased three weeks ago, found that emissions are rising faster than ever, and that by 2017 the world will have locked in energy infrastructure investment that will make it almost impossible to stay under 450 ppm of CO2 by 2035. It concluded that ‘On planned policies, rising fossil fuel energy use will lead to irreversible and potentially catastrophic climate change.’ Since Copenhagen, a small industry has grown up to try to explain why, in the face of near consensus among climate

scientists, humans aren’t acting to save ourselves and other species. Politically, the most plausible explanations are the massive, undemocratic power wielded by corporations with vested interests in perpetuating the fossil fuel economy; the rights of people in developing countries to make the same mistakes that the rich West has made; and the difficulty of negotiating global agreements based on consensus. Psychological explanations also abound, ranging from the blinding, addictive nature of consumer culture, through cognitive dissonance – our ability to disconnect from a reality that is too confronting to our existing worldview or interests – to the overwhelming scale of the problem and whether we are more individualistic or communal in outlook (the former group being much more sceptical of the science).

Aid organisation Oxfam targeted the Durban conference, saying it’s ‘hungry for climate action’ as climate change affects food security. See more at www.oxfam.org/en/grow/climate.

nal beings. But popular culture keeps producing them, and we keep lapping them up: not only climate change movies like The Day After Tomorrow but disaster porn like 2012, Apocalypto and Armageddon, as well as post-apocalyptic narratives like Children of Men and The Road. Maybe there is something to be learnt from this fascination with end times. The Greek word apokalypsis is usually translated as ‘revelation’ or ‘lifting of the veil.’ Every potential ending is also an invitation to a rite of passage, a birth of something new. Apocalypse is less a one-way highway to hell than the individual experience of symbolic death and rebirth writ large. Perhaps, in not responding rationally to the science but instead dicing with a climate apocalypse, we are seeking the means to ask, and answer, fundamental questions about the meaning of life on Earth – not just whether we can survive and thrive without endless economic growth, but our proper relationship to other species and the Earth as a whole.

Targeting weeds The latest weed to be targeted by Bush Futures is Variegated Arrowhead Vine. One hopes people keep in mind that this is a society that finds it extremely difficult to return organic mat-

ter to soil, that organic matter is depleted, and depleting in Australian soils, and that compared to most of the rest of the world our soils are relatively thin. Arrowhead Vine is said after it climbs into the canopy of trees to make trees too heavy and more susceptible to toppling in storms, but there is no information supplied of what happens to trees in Central America from whence it comes. Presumably these trees are brought down to improve soil so that most trees are able to grow rapidly and stay ahead of Arrowhead Vine’s tendency to

pull them down. In poisoning weeds we may be retarding the proliferation of all life which is the foundation of the earth’s security. It can be considered that all plants are engaged in increasing soil organic matter levels, the foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems, and natives are often overrun because they are not presently, given major soil and climatic changing with European settlement, adequate suppliers of the organic matter that soil currently cries out for and whose sequestration acts as a major sink for greenhouse gases. Solutions lie more in rural-

ising rather than urbanising of population for the growing of food that comes primarily from orchard food forests. This increased population uses weeds to improve soil by mulching with non-sprouting varieties such as Lantana and Camphor Laurel and composting or liquid manuring with sprouting varieties. Weeds warnings come from a society excessively focused on what is on top of soil rather than the whole system whose foundation, and one of the three bases of life including water and air, is soil.

So it goes

What do you think is more important: the Fukushima nuclear radiation spreading across the Pacific and around the world, the global financial crisis spreading from America to Europe and around the world, or the 10-year war spreading across the Middle East that threatens to erupt into World War 3? The former supreme military commander of NATO, General Wesley Clark, wrote in his book Winning Modern Wars, p130, that by November 2001 the Pentagon had a Geoff Dawe plan to take out seven counUki tries, Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Leba-

non, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan. Although Libya fell without much international opposition, China and Russia have made it clear that they will not allow the same fate to befall Syria or Iran. A Russian aircraft carrier with support vessels is en route to Syria to join several Russian missile destroyers already in Syrian waters, while both Russia and China have made very clear their strong support for Iran. As the violence in Rwanda erupted, French troops withdrew and thus allowed the massacre of one million people to occur. As Pol Pot massacred millions over several years, Australia and the USA maintained their recognition of his regime. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Peter Olson

Council tests the waters Byron Shire Council has announced it will again be monitoring and reporting on the water quality of its beaches during summer. Council project manager David Bell said 11 swimming sites would be monitored in accordance with Office of Environment and Heritage Beachwatch Protocols. ‘Council is testing for bacteria known as enterococci, which indicate if water is polluted with stormwater or sewage and may be unsafe for swimming. The results will be posted on the OEH Beachwatch website,’ he said. ‘A variety of beaches will be monitored, from Ocean Shores in the north to Broken Head in the south, including a number of sites around the Byron Bay peninsula.’ Under the program, Council staff will conduct a weekly check of the area’s beaches during the summer months. Beachwatch program manager Cris Hickey congratulated Council for its ongoing commitment to keep tabs on the quality of the area’s beaches, and to keep the public informed about any changes. ‘For the most part, these swimming spots are as clean as they are beautiful,’ Ms Hickey said. ‘However, people need to be able to be confident about the quality of the water they’re swimming in. ‘While most coastal swimming sites generally enjoy excellent water quality, some experience stormwater pollution after rain. As a general rule, we encourage people to avoid swimming for a day after rainfall at coastal beaches, and for up to three days in estuarine areas.’ For further information visit Byron Shire Council’s website at www.byron.nsw.gov.au or call Council’s Environmental Services section on 6626 7054. 20 December 6, 2011 The Byron Shire Echo

It’s that time of year again. Summer, school holidays and, oh yeah, Dunecare Week Byron Shire beaches are famous the world around and this time of year both locals and visitors enjoy the pristine white sands and clear blue water of the ocean. Over a million people frequent our beaches over the year and the majority come in summer time. How can you blame them our beaches are just spectacular in beauty, biodiversity and recreational values. There are many important plant communities throughout Byron Shire, most important being around the beaches which include the frontal dunes, hind dunes, Banksia woodlands, swamps and littoral rainforests. All play an important role such as Ä S[LYPUN Y\UVMM ^H[LY HUPTHS OHIP[H[ HUK LYVZPVU WYL]LU[PVU 0U Byron Shire there are seven volunteer dunecare groups, made up of local people from various walks of life all coming together for the one goal of caring for our coastline. A lot of these groups have been dunecaring for over twenty years. Most groups range from six to twelve people. This averages out to around forty two people working together for half a day, once a month, twelve times a year. The task seems very unbalanced considering the million plus people using the beaches. So new volunteers are always more then welcome. No matter what the experience there is always something to do. According to Shane Ivey, a North New Brighton Dunecarer, we come together because we have a passion for our beaches and the environment. We want our families and friends to be able to appreciate the beauty of our area both now and for the future

p u g n i com Jack Thompson & The Original Sinners Rapskallion DJ Generik Grace Knight The Lucky Wonders Dubmarine Floating Me Jo Jo Smith AND MUCH MORE!

The boys have been working hard in the studio with the very experienced producer Sam Bartlett and have only recently emerged with upside down frowns and a long awaited record that has been dubbed Math Pop. Co-produced by James Lyle and James Boundy, Still Tortoise Nothing is set somewhere between the tides where comas fly like lucid dreams. Alice Blu is Jo Loewenthal (guitar/ vocal) Shaun Johnston (bass) Tobias Tunis-Plant(guitar/keys/ vocals). The lads are young, fresh and exceptionally talented, bringing a unique take on alternative rock to their audience. Having supported big acts such as The Beautiful Girls and Daryl Braithwaite the band is set for a bright future. Alice Blu are getting ready to smash it up at their CD launch at the Mullum Civic Hall on Saturday. Tell me a little about your cryptic album title – Still Tortoise Nothing... is that a young person’s take on education? Basically the title is stating that although we are taught things our whole life, all the things we are taught are based on an opinion and most things that are taught are later proven wrong by someone else. So although we think we know a lot, we still know nothing. What about the recording process – where did you do it? Who produced? We did the recording in two studios in Byron Bay with producers James Lyall and James Boundy. The process was relatively quick and easy because there were so many people working on the project with us and everyone was putting in extra time and effort. The recording only took one week but having said that, some of the sessions would start at 9am and finish at 2am the next day, so by the end of it all we were pretty exhausted. How did you prepare for the album? Initially we just went into the studio intent on recording three songs, but because we got through each track surprisingly quickly we just kept doing more. We hadn’t planned on making an album at first but

C O A S T A L

E N T E R T A I N M E N T

because the process was so easy and enjoyable, everything just escalated and now here we are with our debut EP. Was there a lot of material to churn through? We had between 20 and 30 songs to choose from. So every time we finished a track we just chose the next most fun song to play and recorded it, we figured that if it’s fun to play

A lot of the parts that are on the tracks now were initially mistakes in the studio. How much of what you do has to be intuitive, and how much is planned? I’d have to say it’s about 50/50, the songs themselves are planned, but there are lots of layers and parts in the songs which were created in the studio. On the song Comas Fly Like Lucid Dreams we had not planned it to have piano or a string section. After we had recorded the basic idea of the song, Marley asked his mother Cleis Pearce to come in and play violin and viola on the track, all of a sudden the song opened up and we began to hear the possibilities. On the last day, in the dying hours of the sessions Toby jumped on a piano and just played what came to him. What is the musical aspiration, shared or otherwise, for Alice Blu? If you looked at each of our iPods, you would see that we all have very different musical tastes, but because of this we each give a varied input into every song which ends up sounding like Alice Blu. At the moment we’re just trying to gather a following, but the main aim is to use the music as a vehicle to explore the world. How has growing up in the Byron Shire shaped your attitude as young musos? Byron Shire has given us a faith in the ability to live off our music because the community is very supportive of the arts; for example Mullum Music Festival’s mentorship program, which gives opportunities to young musicians to play on a professional stage. What should we expect for your Byron launch? The EP launch has had lots of time and effort thrown at it, so we are expecting a pretty big turnout. Ku Promotions have been working hard promoting the show, we’ve got Coffee Oasis catering on the night, we’ve had CDAT donate money and great support from the Byron Shire Council. With local band Capcha and Tasmanian act Dali and the Paper Band supporting, it’s going to be our biggest show yet. It’s also our last show in Mullumbimby before we move Alice Blu to Melbourne. BTW can you legally drink a beer now? Yes indeed we can. Doors: 7.30pm / Show: 8pm. Tix: $12 Pre / $15 Door. www.kupromotions.com.au, Barebones , Byron Music, Mullum Books, All Music & Vision Ballina / Lismore.

go ask alice blu then there would be more energy in the recording and it would be more interesting to listen to. So we ended up with eight recordings, five of which are on the album and the rest of which will be on line for our fans. Were you happy with the production decisions you made? Yes indeed. Working in the environment in which we recorded made it easy because there were usually at least four guys throwing us production ideas, sometimes there were eight to 10 people in the studio (not including us) giving us input. A large part of the production was after the recording process in the mixing stage when we left the tracks to James Boundy and Andy Downer. What are the songs you are proudest of? To be honest, there is not a song that we like more or less than any other on the album. We are proud of them all in different ways. What are the moments you captured recording which were unplanned... did you keep them or did they almost make it and go to the bin? In the studio there were lots of jokes caught on tape which are no longer in the tracks but it was a good laugh in the studio.

HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? The amazing thing about the young generation is their ability to create fashion trends out of things that shock their parents. A decade ago men wore their pants so the top of their Calvin Klein undies were exposed. I mean if you’ve spent $40 on a pair of man briefs you want the world to know. At the time I noticed that very few men chose that particular fashion option to expose their pack of 10 Kmart jocks. We all laughed at the trend but noticed that our own husbands’ pants dipped a centimetre or two to make themselves more appealing to young women. I mean what young thing doesn’t swoon when she spies a little grandad crack? The underpant trend has reached a new low tide of late with teenage boys wearing their undies under their actual bum cheeks. This requires the wearer to have the belt firmly strapped so as to not lose the pants completely. In fact it would appear that the penis and balls play a vital role in securing the trouser to the wearer. I have watched these boys run and notice that their body movements are dictated by the challenge of keeping what’s left of their pants on. I am concerned about the Occupational Health and Safety risks posed by such a low pant line. I’m surprised that more skateboard riders don’t suddenly become tangled in their own trousers and meet an unfortunate end where they must suffer not only the shame of being dead, but also being publicly dacked.

I cannot think of anything more uncomfortable than a continual sensation that my pants are falling down. I’m overweight and my pants are afflicted with the constant waistline rolldown. It’s a constant cause of fatty bombah irritation. And why the entire arse out? Now we don’t just get the branded band, we get the sweaty round underpant-clad cheeks as well. A homosexual friend of mine (I feel so Oscar Wilde saying that!) informed me that in jail, the exposure of the bottom in such a manner is a signal that you are available for anal loving. I wonder whether the fiercely heterosexual and very often homophobic young gangsters I spy around town with their derrieres exposed in such a provocative manner are aware of the message they are sending the general public? Low pants originate from the belt-free trend. Because of the risk of self-harm, men in jail must go belt-less and so, consequently, pants droop. It would appear that the low-pant look is all about emulating the ‘prison culture’. Wow. If you love prison culture so much, why don’t you just try the real deal and then see how much you like low pants? I am not sure prison inmates were aware that Calvin Klein has been looking over the barbed wire fence for inspiration for his man fashion. Why is it that male fashion is inspired by prison pants? I find it somehow surprising that people who are imprisoned are shunned as a menace to society, they find it difficult to get employment and housing, yet what authorities use to protect them from self-harm becomes the height of fashion. It’s akin in its awfulness to that dreadful period in the nineties when the Paris runways featured ‘heroin chic’. I don’t think misery or suffering is chic. Or poverty. Or sweaty prison bum. I look at the low pants now and shudder, really, what is next? Perhaps the lowering of the pants is an indicator that we are nearing the end of human civilisation. Perhaps the Mayan Calendar is right, except we’re not just out of time, we’re out of clean undies.

Britta Phillips (Luna), Tim Holmes (Death In Vegas), Will Carruthers (Spacemen 3, Spiritualized) and Malcolm McDowell. When Wes Holland joined the Sand Pebbles a couple of years ago at the age of 18, Andrew Tanner had just turned 50. The band To coincide with the forthcoming tour, Sand Pebbles have released quickly realised they ran a unique age gamut: a member born in their second single, the Hell Broth & Bubble remix version of single each decade in the history of rock ’n’ roll – 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Far from disowning this unique fact, they decided to use it Dark Magic. The wait is almost over for interstate punters. These Melbourne flower-punk luminaries will embark on a national tour next month to launch their acclaimed new album Dark Magic in program guide Canberra, Sydney, Byron Bay, Brisbane and Hobart.

A handy escape from serenity As you will recall, gentle reader, the words carved in cedar above the dining room doorway of our clubhouse are ‘Beyond Redemption’. Next to them is the beautifully carven image of a butterfly which has been there for so long that none, not even the peerless Sanders the butler, can remember its meaning. It hints at ephemerality or the wayward soul, but none can be sure. The point though is our insistence on avoiding the redemptive moment, just as a hula dancer in a grass skirt shies away from a naked flame. Camberwell had once strayed from the path with a notion revolving around enlightenment, but the club members and Sanders had pulled him firmly into line. ‘What’s a chap got to do with enlightenment when he has a perfectly fine claret in front of him,

what?’ said Abbotsleigh at the time, which was the most sense we had ever had from him. The more serious threat to our psychic instability, however, occurred last week when Bosworth took up crochet. Nothing wrong with a chap having a hobby – members’ interests range from underwater darts to cheeses of the 16th century – but Bosworth found a peculiar clarity in the activity. It was as if his synapses stopped working and his mind drained of all thoughts of debauchery and filled instead with, well, a perfect nothing. ‘Repetitive activity’s shut him down,’ said Sliprail, ‘dashed shame. A chap could cross over to nirvana before he knows what’s going on, what?’ ‘Might have to have him put down,’ said Tosser

‘I say,’ he then said, ‘has anyone got any cocaine?’ A sigh of relief ran throughout the clubhouse. We marvelled at the knowledge Sanders had at his disposal. A polymath of the first water. Chef arrived to crown the moment with possum fricasee in a melange of tessellated spinach. We toasted Bosworth’s return from a tedious paradise in a Belongil Fields Sodden Camper Cabernet Merlot. ‘Time for a spot of Bolivian marching powder, hey, Bosworth?,’ I smiled, glad to see the sheep momentarily struck by the absolute returned to the fold. The chap had no idea of his recent peril, but so it is with all of us. ~ Horatio Bitemark

Funny Kids Are Go

culture

Mandy Nolan’s annual crop of funny kids are ready for harvest. This year Mandy set up something she calls Funny School to teach primary school kids the satirical art of standup comedy. In her final class from the year Nolan notes that kids themselves end up being the best teachers. ‘I’d be lying if I said it was easy to teach kids – it’s a real challenge. Mainly to keep them focused, it’s incredible, you think they’re taking nothing in and then presto they’ll do something amazing. It really teaches me to trust that when it comes to the crunch, they know how to perform!’ Mandy runs weekly standup comedy sessions where she focuses on skit writing, improvisation and formulating a 5-minute comedy routine. The 13 graduates of Funny Kids School of Comedy perform at the Byron Theatre at the Community Centre on Tuesday 13 December at 6pm. Tix are at the door and it’s $5 for kids, $10 for adults and free for under-5s.

Open Mic Comedy

If you feel like popping into the Tatts Hotel in Lismore on Wednesday night you’ll catch some of the funniest buggers on the block. Born in New York, but now living in Ocean Shores, comedian Robert Grayson brings a Seinfield edge to the stage as he ushers in comics from around the region. Free from 8pm.

Christmas Virgins

There’re many ways to celebrate Christmas, but none finer than a good old-fashioned Virgin Sacrifice. The standup comedy students who’ve been studying with Mandy Nolan through ACE this term are ready to present their very first standup comedy routine. With reiki healers, real estate agents and celebrity chefs to boot. This is cult comedy at its best! Monday 19 December at the Byron Services Club Pandanus Lounge. Tix are $10/15 at the club or can be booked on 6684 3443. Show starts at 8pm.

Streep Tease Is there no role Meryl Streep can’t play to perfection? In her latest film The Iron Lady, Streep nails the role of Margaret Thatcher, with critics already declaring it as sure to win her another Academy Award nomination. The Iron Lady is a powerful chronicle of Thatcher’s rise to power as the newly elected head of the UK Conservative Party in 1975, becoming the country’s prime minister four years later, an event unheard of in the traditionally male-dominated world of British politics at the time. The Iron Lady opens at Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas on 26 December but the Dendy is holding a special preview screening for Club Dendy members on Sunday 11 December at 4.30pm, with tickets for members plus up to three guests just $7 each! Tickets on sale at the cinema now.

Byron Arts Classic

The Byron Arts Classic is a community art exhibition showcasing the diverse range of artwork from north coast visual artists. The 2012 event will build on and enhance the huge success achieved in 2010 and 2011. Attendance figures reflect a deep community enthusiasm for the Arts Classic, which the local media describes as a ‘crowd puller’. A capacity 500 people attended last year’s opening and more than 40 volunteers came forward to assist. A high level of ongoing public interest, promised donations and sponsorship suggest 2012 is set to exceed expectations. More than $8,000 in prize money is distributed through the category 1st and 2nd prizes, people’s choice and youth/emerging artist awards. Highly qualified professional curators draw art works from a mix of established and emerging artists for future exhibition. To encourage artistic skills there is an artist-in-residence program including workshops for adults and children. The Byron Arts Classic furthers Australia’s cultural life through the significant number of works chosen for interstate collections in Sydney and Melbourne. Exhibition starts 6 January 2012 and entries close on Monday. Online registration available www. byroncentre.com.au or go into the Byron Community Centre.

The Byron Community Primary School will be hosting a Cabaret Night on Thursday to raise funds for new instruments for the school’s renowned music department. The line-up for the event features the talents of BCPS parents and friends including: The Living End bassist Scott Owen, 10cc guitarist Rick Fenn, singer-songwriter Gyan and children’s entertainer Michael Turner, Sarah McGregor, Potato, Thierry Fossemalle, The Jazz Drops, Brian Watt, Jube and The Boys featuring Triple Nip and 12-piece string ensemble Poco Vivace and the Parents’ Choir in their debut. The BCPS Cabaret will be held at the Byron Community Centre at 7.30pm. Tickets are $20, available on 6685 8208 or at the door.

There’s no doubt about it, Los Angeles is the world capital of noisy, gratuitous, bloodsoaked, ultra-hip, high-gloss violence-as-porn. So inured are its citizens to what the rest of us might reasonably consider macho-cool wankery, that they react to it as though it were a daily part of their lives – like they are living in their own clichÊd movie. Which is what everybody seems to be doing in this ode to carnage. One scene of standard grotesquerie has Driver (Ryan Gosling) bursting into a room and pulverising a bad guy’s hand before hurling him to the floor and threatening to hammer a bullet into his forehead – and all the while he is surrounded by semi-naked call girls with enormous breasts, sitting like stunned mullets. They might have shown more animation when the tea lady appeared with the Tim Tams, but they weren’t going to bat an eyelid at witnessing just another brutal homicide. Nor did the diners in the posh Chinese restaurant think it anything but commonplace that Driver should stroll in wearing a blood-splattered jacket (maybe they all knew it was just tomato sauce). A million bucks has gone missing. Who is the Mister Big behind it? Who is in on the scam? How can Driver, inadvertently mixed up in the intrigue, sort out the mess? The story is well crafted and cleverly plotted, its execution as slick and up-itself hard-hitting as we have come to expect from post-Tarantino Hollywood crime. But don’t you think by now that we’d have outgrown the lone wolf antihero who, against all the odds, outfights, outsmarts, outshoots and outdrives the callous villains? The indestructible, imperturbable, slow-to-smile rough diamond whose quiet manner and stubbly, clear-eyed good looks the whimpering Girl (Carey Mulligan) simply cannot resist?

house too – spacious but spare, hard-surfaced but full of light – is a clinically astute setting. In the nature-versus-nurture debate, the movie sides more heavily with the former than does the book, but suggests in its final scene that we might find some sympathy in our hearts for Kevin.

Not since the ultimately disappointing Memoirs Of A Geisha have I looked forward so much to the adaptation of a favourite book. And with only a few niggling reservations would I say that Lynne Ramsay’s film is wholly satisfying. The gripping, suffocating novel by Lionel Shriver, compiled as a series of letters written by the increasingly distraught mother of a manipulative and cruel son, is a classic slow burn that leads to a shattering, only-hinted-at climax. The movie, however, commencing with a clatter of flashbacks and then continuing through deliberately jarring time jumps, seemed to me to give away too much at the outset of what it is that Kevin ends up doing (in fairness, the second part of the two-pronged revelation is withheld to telling effect). So I was surprised when my companion, unfamiliar with the book, disagreed that the climax had been flagged. There is also an indefinable ‘certain something’ missing – that intimacy of the page that can never be replicated in the cinema. Not quite there, either, despite Tilda Swinton’s fantastic portrayal of the psychologically imploding Eva, is a closer understanding of the novel’s sometimes unreliable narrator. The opening is an overhead, long-held shot of people jammed together, splattered with tomatoes at a festival in Italy. Rather than celebratory, it is a claustrophobic, unsettling image and it perfectly sets the

These are some of the spoils from the inaugural Australasian Regional Food Conference, held up at Peppers near Kingscliff. An initiative of Southern Cross University, the two-day event brought together industry people, academics and government organisations with the aim of promoting dialogue on food within a regional context. Presenters came from all over Australia as well as overseas, discussing subjects as diverse as agritourism, culinary education, the rise and rise of farmers markets, terroir, food security and branding. The word engaged cropped up often, specifically with regard to the need for community involvement and communication between sectors. The hundred-odd delegates collected in a vigorously air-conditioned room and listened to stories about other regions and their management of food systems. And so Jack Carlsen from Curtin University told us about the Southern Forest region in Western Australia, which includes truffle-notorious Manjimup and the Margaret River – how the area had moved out of forestry and into food production. Eighty per cent of Australia’s black truffles are currently coming out of Manjimup – ‘it’s quite a success story,’ Jack said – but the entire region is attracting a lot of interest from chefs and turning into a premier wine and food destination. ‘Diversity is essential if you are going to be a wine and food success,’ he said. ‘For example, if you produce cheese there must also be wine and bread.’ SCU’s Rose Wright spoke about the significant challenges for farming families and how many Australian farms are becoming non-viable. ‘Keeping family farms on the land is critical for survival,’ she said. ‘This global consumer movement towards regionalism and local products is an extraordinary opportunity.

It was a glorious affair, and included a dinner the first night at Mavis’s Kitchen in Uki and an early morning visit to the newish Murwillumbah Farmers Market. SCU’s Adele Wessell had confided to me her misgivings about the blend of academics and industry people – ‘but they are mixing together!’ she said. And to be sure provided a beautiful balance of views and experiences on the unfailingly hot topic of food, especially regional food, from the Australasian perspective. It is hoped to make this event an annual one – and there is no doubt as to its relevance and its value.

The importance of history – and specifically the influence of regional cookbooks on food culture – was addressed. The wonderful South Australian food historian Barbara Santich talked about the inescapability of history and defined food culture, which ‘is organic and grows from the ground up; which includes both public and private spaces, domestic kitchens and restaurants – and I would argue that what comes out of domestic kitchens is of greater value’.

A new era is about to dawn at the Mullumbimby Brunswick Valley Football Club. A strong first team squad and the fostering of stronger links between the junior and senior clubs are a priority for 2012 according to new head coach Jonathan Flantz. A longstanding senior player and well-respected junior coach at the Mullum club, Jonathan was recently appointed Valley’s head coach and technical director of coaching. He has many years of both playing and coaching experience and currently holds a number of coaching credentials including the Asian Football Confederation and Football Federation of Australia C-Certificate coaching licence. Club officials believe Jonathan will add a new dimension to their first team squad. In addition to his duties as first team coach, Jonathan has a long-term vision for the club, including training sessions for the existing junior and youth coaches, pre-season training

and ongoing support sessions for these coaches and their teams to enhance their ability and enjoyment of the world’s greatest game. He recognises that as well as coaches that know the game well and have played themselves, there are a number of junior coaches who have not and he is particularly focused on supporting them in their development. Mullum is a family club and the role of parents and the wider community is vitally important to the future of the club. Jonathan would also like to oversee the development of the clubs online coaching resources, along with the assistance of club IT wizard Stefan Tober. The club will hold its AGM at the Mullumbimby RSL on Sunday at 2pm. All parents, players and community members are encouraged to attend this important meeting as the club enters an exciting new phase in its history. For any enquiries please contact club president Chris Fenwick on 0422 946 914.

The latest HIA – JELD-WEN New Home Sales Report, a survey of Australia’s major residential builders, showed that the number of new homes sold in the month of October 2011 increased by 5.5 per cent, although sales remained down by 8.0 per cent over the three months to October.

Those living in cheap so-called ‘illegal’ dwellings might be able to breathe a little easier after Byron Shire councillors voted last week, following on from Cr Tom Tabart’s initiative, to go easier on compliance matters in the hinterland unless life-and-limb are at stake and concentrate instead on holiday letting atrocities, many of which blossom in full view.

Update on the draft Byron LEP (surely you remember that?): planning honcho Ray Darney told councillors in passing last week that the LEP could be ‘a couple of years off ’. The gang bang of the LEP process by every bureaucrat and government department known to humankind must be terribly frustrating to those good folk who sat down in the 1990s and formulated the Byron Bay settlement strategy upon which an LEP was to be built. Strategy after strategy followed, the NSW planning department was reorganised every which way but efficient – think of the cost in new letterheads alone! – but still nothing popped out of the other end to replace the ageing and endlessly fiddledwith 1988 LEP.

Congratulations to Wally and Trish Franklin of the Oceania Project (http://www.oceania. org.au), who have picked up an International Fund for Animal Welfare Lifetime Dedication Award. Their efforts have furthered scientific research into whales and, perhaps more importantly, inspired young people to appreciate and help

Results of a recent Suncorp Life survey of residents on the Sunshine and Gold Coasts are likely to hold true for this Shire, too. According to the survey, of residents aged 50 to 65, of those who intended to continue working after the age of 65 almost half (47 per cent) expected to work ten to 19 hours a week and almost one
