Harmony Day celebrates diverse community The annual Harmony Day multicultural festival was held at the Byron Community Centre on Saturday and the sounds and smells of Asia and beyond wafted through the town. Children were the focus of many of the activities this year with kids being taught the intricacies of flamenco hand and feet movements by El Bari’s Louise Robinson. Children also had the crafty chance to make banners and listen to interactive plays and stories with puppetry and of course no day would be complete without the ever popular facepainting. Food again was a highlight and punters had the opportunity to sample delights from Indonesia, Chile, Italy, and Japan and rumour has it that the beef rendang and nasi goreng were excellent. MC Tjintana Matahari presented a variety of artists to audiences during the afternoon community concert. AIAA artist-in-residence Made Denis, a Balinese musician originally from the traditional village of Tianyar, performed on the gamelan. Also on stage was an Indigenous Welcome to Country with Nigel Stewart and Lewis Walker as well as the El

Bari flamenco troupe, Belladonna’s Bollywood belly-dancing troupe, Passion Flamenca, the Barefoot Gypsies tribal belly-dancing troupe, music from Kobya Mozambique-roots, latin tunes from Pasando and Yolanda and a Hawaiian dance with Lilith. Harmony Day coordinator Yvonne Jessup said the event was a great success all participants enjoying the activities. ‘The celebration of cultural diversity meant as much to the performers as it did to the audiences. ‘People are always amazed at how wonderful it is’. According to the federal Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), ‘Harmony Day is celebrated around Australia each year. The day is also the United Nation’s International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. ‘Harmony Day… gives people the opportunity to celebrate what makes each Australian unique and share what we have in common. ‘The continuing message for Harmony Day in 2012 is that Everyone Belongs, which means all Australians are a welcome part of our country, Nigel Stewart and Uncle Lewis Walker, who opened the Harmony Day Festival, flank Bahati Samima from the regardless of their background.

Bangalow pool plan stays afloat despite Council staff safety fears Luis Feliu

Bangalow residents may yet see their historic and popular Bangalow Weir retained as a swimming pool after Byron Shire councillors rejected a staff recommendation to demolish the 90-year-old structure due to safety fears. Staff had recommended a $60,000 demolition job on most of the old weir after recent severe deterioration sparked safety fears and an assessment pointed out 12 major defects including cracks in the concrete wall. They also say restoring the weir to ‘swimming pool standards’ would cost over $1 million. Councillors have instead voted to explore options to remove part of the

weir wall to make it safe for swimmers and other users, while retaining elements of the wall for a heritage monument. Council will also consult the community over options, including a plan to restore the weir, pool and upstream reaches of the creek to a natural environment, before any works start.

Weir fenced off In the meantime, the weir will be fenced off and monitored once a week for further deterioration. ‘Whether the Bangalow Weir could be rebuilt as a safe swimming hole was still unknown at this stage and the options study will tell us more,’ council’s community infrastructure head, Phil Holloway said.

Mr Holloway said the assessment found the weir wall collapsed because it was not anchored onto a solid rock foundation, was not reinforced, had poor quality concrete, and the age and unusual shape of the structure. Staff will now develop a $5,000 brief for a quote on assessing engineering, environmental, social and heritage issues for the works. Mr Holloway said to remove part of or the entire weir wall would cost around $60,000 and to rebuild to a swimming pool standard with environmental assessments and Fisheries requirements would cost more than $1 million. Community spokesman David Pont welcomed the move, saying the value of the weir and pool to the locals

had been underestimated and warranted further investigation. Mr Pont, representing Bangalow’s land and rivercare, community alliance and historical society, earlier told councillors the staff report was flawed and its case for demolition was not strong enough. He said staff used emotive and unscientific language on water quality in the creek to back their claim the pool was unsafe for swimming.

Natural waterways ‘That infers that now, all our waterways are off limits’,’ Mr Pont said. ‘These are natural waterways and for 90 years people have been swimming here and you won’t find one person in Bangalow who says it’s a risk. ‘All our creeks and rivers will be

closed to swimming if this position is carried. It is arguable that the weir and pool do not need to be classified as a “public pool” for the purposes of the upcoming Public Health Regulation, when traditionally Council has maintained the historic structure as a simple creek pool with a commonsense safety approach and people take their own decisions about swimming there. ‘The idea of chlorinating all swimming waters is ludicrous.’ Mr Pont said Bangalow groups had already talked to state agencies about design and planning aspects of the weir and pool, including a fish ladder for fish passage, to satisfy ‘legislation, swimmability, safety and reasonably low cost maintenance’.

Some councillors were concerned whether the right process in buying the land was being followed but councillors decided to obtain legal advice at the same time. Ocean Shores Residents Association spokesperson Kath Norley told councillors that after 19 years it was time to make a decision ‘for a community that deserves a ground for perpetuity, 50 flat acres and at such a reasonable price’. Ms Norley said Council could acquire the land ‘for the equivalent of two years’ costed maintenance of the Byron Regional Cultural and Sports Centre’ and residents had companies willing to work for free on ground tests. ‘We want two fields laser levelled, top dressed, some composting toilets and a car park. Not much at all. ‘You have a chance to finalise something that will bring much joy to many, and heal an ailing community in the north

2 April 17, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo

Campaigners for sports fields in the north of Byron shire are closer to realising their longheld ambition with Byron Shire Council taking steps to buy a block of rural land at Billinudgel for the facility. Councillors last week ignored staff advice to put the long-awaited project on hold due to lack of funding and instead pushed to enter talks with the landowner to sort out the purchase of part of the property so the land could be developed into sports fields. Council will pay a nonrefundable $5,000 deposit on the land and the deal is conditional on the rezoning and subdivision of the portion of land wanted. Ocean Shores locals had earlier appealed to councillors to bite the bullet and take up the offer, the only one made when recent expressions of interest were called.

which has many problems due to no open space,’ she said. Crs Ross Tucker and Diane Woods expressed concern that if the land was bought before it was subdivided and rezoned, the process could be seen to be corrupted. Cr Tucker said Council shouldn’t create a perception of doing favours for some landowners and not others. ‘We’re walking down a very dangerous line, we ought to get some of the processes out of the way first’, he said. Planning director Ray Darney said the land needed to be rezoned first. Cr Simon Richardson said the land was perfect for sports fields and Council should do all it could to buy it as soon as possible. Staff said $1,125,000 was available in developer contribution funds for acquisition and embellishment of open space. Mayor Jan Barham lambast-

ed staff for what she said was a very negative report which shot the proposal down because it said funding would not allow it. Cr Barham said ‘wouldn’t it be nice’ to read a report and ‘be told we can do something’. ‘We need to be told how we can do it, we want a can-do approach. This has been on the books since 1993; we need to be told how to do it, not how not to do it. ‘It’s a common disappointment,’ she said. Cr Barham said that to ask the landowner to do something which was ‘not on’ could be a probity issue and ‘ICACable’. ‘To have these points raised now is a difficult process both for councillors and the community.’ She said councillors all agreed (on buying the land) but ‘we need the right processes’ and ‘staff support for undertaking what we need to do’.

Whale-building precursor to fringe festival Organisers are building a whale all this week as part of workshops in preparation for ‘The Manifesto for Artists and Other Endangered Species’, a demonstration event for a Byron Bay fringe festival. The series of events, entitled Acacia Evenings, will serve as a demonstration and pilot for a Byron fringe festival in 2013. Culminating in a ‘creative public assembly’ this Saturday across seven secret locations in the Arts and Industry Estate, the gathering will ‘bring the cream of Byron’s artistic community together to unveil a cultural agenda for the future’. The Acacia Alliance, spearheaded by a group of local artists, is inviting all Byron residents to add their voice. Anyone interested in getting involved can visit www.acaciaevenings.org or attend the ‘unique public assembly on April 21 that articulates The The skeleton of a whale makes its way down Banksia Street last weekend for the Acacia Alliance, fronted by Minka Mant.

financially, through in-kind support or volunteering time and effort towards the makeover. ‘Congratulations Bangalow,’ he said to roars of applause. ‘You’ve shown what a marvellous community you are and the effort that people have put

in is nothing short of amazing.’ ‘It’s over to you now. The board can put in place proper processes to ensure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past but it’s up to the community to make the club a success.’ Byron Shire Councillor Tony Heeson said clubs all

over NSW were closing and it was to Bangalow’s credit that the town was able to buck the trend. Ballina MP Don Page told the crowd, ‘I normally don’t like to have to queue for a drink but I was very happy to wait in line tonight.’

The parade will include members of the 41st Battalion. This will be followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at the cenotaph, and the traditional Anzac commemoration service in the hall. The Brunswick Heads/Billinudgel sub-branch of the RSL

Bangalow Bowling Club was jumping on Friday night as the club opened its doors for the first time since coming out of voluntary administration a little under a month ago. More than 300 townspeople turned up in time for the opening speeches at 6.30pm – a healthy cross-section of old and new Bangalow. The smell of fresh paint was in the air and people seemed genuinely excited to see their old club looking so smart. Queues at the bar suggested a good amount of money was going through the till and food by new caterer Open Table was tasty, well priced and very well received. Friday the 13th might not have seemed the most auspicious date for a reopening but there was a reason: it was on Friday January 13, three months to the day, that the club went into administration. New club president Brian Mackney thanked all involved with the relaunch, whether

Apple bytes business over logo use Luis Feliu

The largest corporation on the planet has its eyes, and its lawyers, on a small-time computer troubleshooter in the biggest little town in Australia. Byron Bay computer technician Tom Hain, who has run his Mr Macintosh business for around 12 years fixing Apple Macintoshes and advising users without a hitch, has Apple Inc breathing down his neck over his use of logos and company name. Lawyers for the global giant last month emailed Mr Hain requesting him to change his business name and stop using the Apple logo. While Mr Hain says that’s fair enough, and has already removed such logos from his website, he says changing his longstanding business name is a little tougher. ‘I thought it was odd that I couldn’t use Macintosh and recently called them back to ask why not, but they said they had trademarked the name in relation to computers in Australia but in England they can’t because a Macintosh there is a raincoat. ‘More than anything it’s just a hassle and a little unfair, I’m flatout because I’m busy promoting their products, but I’ll soon have to get around to it,’ he told The Echo. ‘Lots of people use their logos. That’s how the mighty Apple Inc treats someone who has

I have had the registered business name of Mr Macintosh for that time and I am being politely requested to change my business name and stop using the Apple logo etc in all my dealing because “your current practices are detrimental to Apple”! ‘I regularly get asked if I get a commission because I promote their products so effectively but a big multinational is just that at the end of the day. ‘This month alone, two new Macs were brought in, not even taken out of their boxes with

customers asking if I could set them up, the customers typically say “Oh, it would have taken me all day, but you have done it in an hour”.’ The corporation wrote to him through their lawyer after seeing the Mr Macintosh ad in The Echo as well as his website and Facebook pages. ‘Apple appreciates your support and enthusiasm for its products, but we must ask that you change your business name or, preferably, choose a new name that doesn’t incorporate any of Apple’s trademarks including the Macintosh

mark,’ the email said. They also requested he amend his business website and Facebook page once he changes his business name ‘to reflect your new business’. ‘We do not believe that you are intentionally infringing Apple’s rights and wish to resolve this matter amicably. However, your current practices are detrimental to Apple. ‘We do not make this request to disrupt your business, but as the owner of these trademarks, Apple must take steps to protect them.’ Photo Jeff Dawson

Eva, 99, is the great survivor Story & photo Luis Feliu

Eva May Armour, pictured celebrating her 99th birthday the other week with family at the Dolphin Café in Brunswick Heads, is a true survivor. Her daughter Barbara Chambers said that Eva, a longtime Byron Bay resident, has survived a lot. ‘She survived the Great Depression, the [second world] war, lost all in the big flood in Newcastle, the earthquake also there years later, and more recently, the tragic fire in which four young people died in a block of units in Fletcher Street, Byron Bay in 1998,’ Barbara said. The Byron Bay fire affected her mum deeply for years later. Eva, living in an upstairs unit, was rescued by an anonymous good samaritan working at the Great Northern

Hotel nearby who saw smoke billowing from the block and ran over and pulled her out of the burning building, both falling down the ladder in the process.

‘She lost everything again in the fire and was left only with the clothes she was standing in, and we never did find out who the rescuer was to thank him, he didn’t want the lime-

light,’ Barbara said. Eva, a great, great grandmother whose husband Angus died in 1973, said she is looking forward to more family reunions.

Page launches THRIVE Ballina Don Page MP will launch Screenworks professional development program THRIVE (Talent Hothouse – a Regional Intensive Vision Escalator) at a screen industry event on Wednesday April 18 at 10am at Bangalow Heritage Museum.

Motorcycle club underbelly revealed Dave Spiteri took almost seven years to write his insider’s account of life with an outlaw bikie club, yet he was one of the very first club presidents in Australia. The longtime Rosebank local finally launched his book, called The Prez, this month and held several book-signing functions around the region. Initial reports suggest locals are lapping up the tales, a work of non-fiction but based on real events in Dave’s colourful life. Tales abound of crooked cops, sex, drugs and violence in a story tracing the rise and influence of bikie clubs in Australia. He says his book has soul, unlike other ‘sensationalist’ books on bikie culture. The paperback, published by HarperCollins, is available at all leading bookstores and Rosebank author and former bikie boss David Spiteri ruminates on the life of outlaw motorcycle clubs, a big part of his life to which he’s devoted a lively book to.

Biochar advocate returns to the Bay for workshop Events in the region over the past year have provided passionate biochar advocate Dr Paul Taylor with optimism that the industry has a bright future in Australia. Dr Taylor, who along with his wife, Renate Kraus, owns and operates the renowned Mt Warning Bed and Breakfast Retreat, in Northern NSW, says the past 12 months have been ‘most rewarding’ in watching the interest in biochar surge, not only in the Northern Rivers and southeast Queensland, but across the country. ‘People often give me a blank stare when I mention biochar, but it is simply charcoal that is intended to go into the soil where it has some amazing benefits for soil and the environment,’ says the retired astrophysicist. Charcoal is the carbon-rich material made from heating wood or other plant material in an oxygendeprived atmosphere. Dr Taylor graduated from the University of NSW with the university medal, obtained his PhD at the University of Colorado and worked at Harvard Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory where X-Ray telescopes were developed to launch into space. In late 2010 he published The Biochar Revolution, a

guide for anyone interested in biochar or concerned about environmental issues. ‘I have always been concerned with the environment, so when I came to the Northern Rivers in 2003 I believed this could be a really sustainable area; this could be a showcase to the world,’ Dr Taylor said. ‘This is not about buying huge plantations or taking over natural forests; this is about using waste biomass and turning it into viable end products which then help the soil, help our food productivity, help with the climate problem and bring environmental, social and economic benefits.’ Last year in Byron Bay Dr Taylor hosted a five-day inter-

active biochar boot camp from April 29-May 4. Since then a half-dozen individuals on the Northern Rivers have set up businesses either manufacturing biochar or biochar ovens. Next weekend (April 21-22) Dr Taylor, along with Prof Stephen Joseph of UNSW, cofounder of the International Biochar Initiative, will be coming to Byron to teach a handson biochar workshop hosted by the Bamboostone Foundation at Starseed Gardens. There will also be a free public Biochar Revolution information night at the Starseed Gardens Nursery on Friday April 20, 7pm–9pm. ‘We’ll be teaching people how to make and operate biochar ovens from recycled material such as 200-litre drums and how to prepare and condition the biochar for optimum benefits in the garden or farm,’ he said. Participants will be able to take home the special biochar they make along with the knowledge of how to apply and monitor its results in their gardens. ‘Bamboo is a particularly good source of biomass as it is fast-growing and grows in abundance the Northern Rivers climate – it is used in Japan to make excellent biochar.’ ‘We will also show the won-

Council aims for public art register

“Deluxe Micro Living Spaces like no other”

www.smartflat.com.au 8 April 17, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo

Byron Shire Council is seeking input from local artists and the wider community to help create a public art register. As part of Council’s Public Art Policy, the register will contain details of artists, technicians and the location of already installed public artwork. Mayor Jan Barham said increasing the Byron community’s access to public art would preserve and promote the Shire’s culture, and support the creative arts industry in the

region. Public art is a significant way to recognise local artists and values, whilst adding an exciting expressive element to public spaces in the Shire,’ she said. The register will contain proposed places in the Byron Shire where public art can be located, with Council seeking community input about the best locations. Byron Shire Council adopted its Public Art Policy in 2010 and has since formed a

project reference group (PRG) comprising Councillors and members of the creative arts industry. The PRG has been convened for 12 months and aims to develop a framework for selecting and managing commissioned public art. All information on locations and public artwork should be sent to Council no later than Monday April 30. Information and questions can be emailed to cassie.willoughby@byron. nsw.gov.au or phone 6626 7000. www.echo.net.au

MardiGrass gets the nod from police Nimbin MardiGrass organisers met with local police recntly in an effort to dispel concerns about this year’s planned events on May 5 and 6. Organisers said area commander Greg Martin was reassured to hear the rally is following its traditional route and organisers do not expect or want any trouble. ‘In fact there is real hope in the air this year,’ said spokesperson Michael Balderstone.

‘The Australia21 report that came out last week has been really well received. And it might have been written by us! It says the war on drugs is plain stupid. It says this is an urgent issue, that has to be addressed right now – and that’s exactly what MardiGrass is about. So this year we are full of hope. It seems that just about everyone agrees that it’s time to end the senseless war on drugs.’ Mr Balderstone said police

and protesters also discussed the planned May 1 protest march for cannabis law reform in Lismore. This march will proceed from the court house to the police station next door, and then on to the offices of Janelle Saffin and Thomas George, the local federal and state representatives, who will be presented with a letter ‘asking for them to publicly voice their support for ending the war on their constituents in the

It is time we made planning laws work better for us Is it time to take a very close look at our politicians in all three tiers of government, and the pecuniary interest laws which only require a declaration of interest when a politician has a greater than ten per cent shareholding in a corporation? About five years ago our politicians decided that each local government area should have a new Local Environmental Plan (LEP) using a standard template, as the current plans which serve us well were written some 25 years ago. The Ballina Ratepayers Association (if you can find them) constantly complain about the environmental E2 and E3 zones in the draft Ballina LEP, but the zones to watch are RU1 and RU2. RU1 is primary production and RU2 is rural landscape. These zones comprise our sugar cane farms, fruit farms, flower

farms, tea tree farms, dairy and cattle farms. In both zones in the standard LEP template two new ‘permitted uses with consent’ appear in black print and are not allowed to be deleted by any local government authority when formulating the new LEPs. These two uses are ‘extractive industry’ and ‘open cut mining’. The politicians neatly sidestep when asked for their views on coal-seam gas extraction, or open cut coal mining, but this is the government’s greatest money-spinner and greatest export earner. The politicians need mining to balance the books. So you decide to buy a family farm and can’t find all the money without getting a substantial loan from a friendly lending institution. When you finalised the purchase, the land title says in the first schedule that you are the legal owner, and in the second schedule it registers your

mortgage. However, below that is a clause which reserves the minerals below the ground for the Crown. This is where it gets tricky. Along comes an entity holding a petroleum or minerals exploration licence and they enter your land with a drilling rig. Unless you have your farm fenced with locked gates, they have the right to enter and will pay you $200 compensation for each drill hole they make on your property. Once they find what they are looking for, their next step is to put in a development application for the mining infrastructure on your property. But, hey, wait a minute! You’ve got a mortgage and a loan to service and you are one of the region’s best food producers! Now remember what I said about the pecuniary interest laws. When the DA comes before Council the decision makers do not have to declare an

interest and do not have to abstain from the vote unless they hold ten per cent of the shares. The decision makers can make life easy for themselves but hard for you. They can become significantly richer by being silent investors in the mining industry, and you can become significantly poorer. Your farm could be turned into a vast open cut coal mine and could end up in China. Or it could be smothered with coal-seam gas wells connected by a web of roads and pipelines. Unless we do something to stop this nonsense, the nation is not going to be fed, banks will not lend money on new purchases and the rural industries will be finished.

It’s obvious

gen we can produce a charcoal that when added to the worst type of degraded, depleted soils it will enhance crop yields while storing carbon. Such a win-win for the environment and food security. We are so blessed with good soil here in this Shire but serious times are ahead of us. With encroaching climate changes we could be looking down the barrel of droughts and/or floods, contaminated water sources from runaway coal-seam gas wells being sunk in our water basin areas in Queensland and northern NSW. It behooves all of us to go to the biochar workshop being held this weekend in Yagers Lane, Byron Bay, to learn how to make our own biochar ovens. I believe this is the one most important thing we can all do now to address a growing problem that doesn’t seem to have a solution owing to ‘business as usual’ being the only criteria in the political arena. We need to provide our own solutions and amazingly I believe biochar has the answer. Friday night the 20th is an information night and all are welcome to come and hear what it is all about. Be prepared to be absolutely stunned by the simple and yet scientific facts you will hear. For workshop details go to www.starseedgardens.com or phone Dr Taylor on 6679 5259.

Hard task master Has Council considered how the frail, the ageing, the disabled, the non-drivers, or those without licences or small cars, are going to dispose of their hard rubbish at the tip? While one might be able to manage to drag large cumbersome objects out as far as the kerb, loading these items into a small car is another scale of task. Please reconsider this decision of hard rubbish collection with inclusiveness in mind.

Q There were three important items in recent Echos. Last week Scott Allen showcased

his affordable Smartflat, Jim Beatson of the Byron Shire Council’s Tourism Advisory Committee opined that ‘increasing tourism only adds to its drain on Council resources’ and the week before the Planning Minister Brad Hazzard indicated that ‘local councils will be allowed to approve amending and site specific Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) including spot rezonings’. Put that all together, add the perennial problems of the lack of affordable housing, the costs of tourism and lack of council funds and what do you get – a solution. Rather than cater for more tourists who don’t build houses, pay rates or have a longterm commitment to this area, we should be catering to people who are, or want to become, residents. So let’s make it easy for existing rural residents to put up

Smartflats and other innovative low-cost abodes for renting only that don’t have to be attached to the main house. Attached granny flats may be great for Sydney with 375 people per square kilometre but we‘ve got less than 50 and most people come here to have a bit of space. Let ’em have it. Create a low cost building boom that employs plumbers and painters, electricians and road makers and provides new residents to buy furniture and food and have a cuppa. It would strengthen our villages, inject money into our economy, provide affordable rural accommodation for the unrich and give the council a revenue stream. So let’s take Brad Hazzard at his word and amend our LEP to make it possible.

can’t talk to councillors. People need to realise just how a non-consultative management can stifle our elected councillors from being involved in the day-to-day operations of council altogether. Can the council dismiss a GM? Sure they can, but unless they can prove the GM has not fulfilled his or her contractual obligations they will have to pay the GM out. Plus if the GM thinks their contract has been breached they can ask for compensation. The problem is that councils only employ people in senior management positions who have worked in local government for long periods and know what protection the LGA affords them against any real scrutiny of their performance. The one option open to a newly elected council is to have the organisation restructured to

enhance their business plan. I think BSC should stop employing senior management on five-year contracts. Senior management should be on performance-based contracts with targets to meet and assessed by a independent auditor. To have people on five-year contracts is crazy. Let them perform, meet their targets or go. Grants have been reduced from state and federal governments but our roads were maintained previously to a good standard with local and tourist traffic on them but that changed when the BSC management in the late nineties restructured the sections that carried out this work and now we find ourselves with terrible roads. The 1993 local government restructure identified problems in the way councils were being

managed. Changes were put in place to encourage consultation and transparency in the way councils were managed. The question should be asked, has BSC management followed and encouraged those recommendations put in place during the 1993 local government restructure?

Council management Jim Beatson is right about the Local Government Act (LGA) being able to exclude our elected councillors from having any say into the day-to-day operations of council (Echo, April 10). The elected council can supply a business plan; it is up to the GM and his senior management to implement that business plan. The problem with the LGA is that it gives the GM and senior management the ability to keep the elected council out of the operational side of the organisation. One example is putting in place regulations that council can’t talk to staff and staff

Will Council crash or crash through on the mini-bypass? Now we have Cr Staples’ favourite brainchild, up and ready to waste more money on and really bugger up our town – the famous mini-bypass (with ‘induced traffic’). What a stupid, insane idea. This councillor has been on council for so long that he must be part of the council woodwork, and now instead of Byron Shire Council putting the usual cheap ‘band-aid’ on their self-created lack of aheadplanning problems, they will try to put a ‘staple’ in it! Amazing how this council goes backward instead of forward. There are simple and proper solutions to our traffic congestion and parking problems but this weird council still can’t think clearly. They didn’t even listen to the community’s ideas at the traffic meeting last year. Was it just to make us feel all warm and fuzzy? If the trains do come back, which would be great, then all these stupid level crossings would only add to further traffic logjams, in and around town. In forward-thinking countries with intelligent councils they would build a proper bypass

from Woolies’ service station coming out down near Mitre 10 with a proper over-pass over the defunct railway line. These band-aid, pie-in-the sky ‘park and ride options’ may be good for those without lots of kids and luggage such as surfboards. How do you ‘park and ride’ if you are a contractor and need to get materials in and out of the industrial area and through town, five days a week? Get real, we are not living in fairyland, as it seems some are. All these problems with ‘induced traffic’ have been caused by a silly council that has not had the foresight to plan ahead for the normal increase of population and increase in our treasured visitors, who some individuals wish to punish and blame with ridiculous parking fees and charges, which are just another fundraising method for council to waste more money harebrained ideas!

should do just that and not induce further traffic access to the centre of town. Some say that that bypass already exists via the Pacific Highway and there is merit in the statement. Nonetheless the town needs to be serviced and traffic relieved as the current congestion goes beyond personal driver stress and aggravation to an issue of public safety as essential services are now hindered. A bypass road ideally will skirt the town as if it were a walled city, hugging close but not entering. Parking opportunities should be readily available outside that ‘wall’ with easy pedestrian access across the wall and into town. Cars then do not have to enter the skirmish of the town, thereby reducing town traffic, improving pedestrian amenity and allowing emergency services better circulation. Locals will still go to town but via the bypass where parking within easy walking access is readily available and free. Tourists who must park at the beachfront will do so but if they are staying in town they

will quickly learn to utilise the bypass. Locals who need to get around the town will take the bypass and get on with their day. Our town needs a bypass, not dissection and road widening.

Q I am hard pressed to find a single supporter in the community for Richard Staples’

‘mini-bypass’. Is there anyone out there who is happy with this ‘value for money’ cheap option? We are not building a shed out in the hills where cheap might be cheerful; this is our town, we all have a vested interest in it, an interest in its amenity as a community centre with layers of history, places to meet, do business, relax and recreate. Pride may be thin at times in shabby, pot-holed Byron town but we have the bones of a great town centre, pedestrian and bicycle friendly right alongside one of the greatest beaches in the world. The ‘mini-bypass’ and attendant widening of access roads offers little more than increasing vehicular access right into the middle of an already congested town while taking out parking, pedestrian and heritage areas. And we are being sold this solution on the basis of a one-eyed traffic study that proved that people come to Byron Bay to be in ‘Byron Bay’ and that locals go to town to ‘go to town’. Staggering! A bypass road for the town

Road receives the same treatment to restore their road surface to a reasonable standard to protect their cars. With the rising costs of electricity, water rates, petrol and

other regular bills, the community do not need the added burden of expensive mechanical repairs, especially since Council has included a clause in their insurance policy that

negates their responsibility to pay for the public’s repairs to vehicles, bicycles and broken legs or ankles from potholes in the dark in many unlit streets that don’t have footpaths. As for the Council works on Gulgan Road North and South: while it doesn’t seem t0 make sense to motorists, it makes a lot of sense to cyclists having the road shoulders widened to provide a safe, level surface for the many bike riders across the Shire. Many thanks to the road work teams for doing such a good job. This section is part of the Shire Bicycle Plan that we worked on for years, though I do have a problem with the lack of foresight to connect the last lot of works from Argyle Street and Mullumbimby Road to fill in the missing link to Gulgan Road, so there’s a semblance of continuity to cycleways.

A matter of choice

Cowboy fishers

Michele Grant (Letters, April 3) manages to turn the simple subject of illegal camping by backpacker vans in Byron Bay’s beachfronts and streets into a cause celebre about housing affordability, busking, homeless people and ‘people’s lifestyle choices’ (whatever that means). The reason they camp anywhere here, Michele, is because they can, and as for options for these ‘low budget travellers’ as you call them, a little homework reveals that a secured powered site with hot showers and use of a communal kitchen can be had for as little as $10 a night per person from a couple of well-managed caravan parks close to town that also offer discounts for Wicked, Juicy and others. Byron Bay residents are fed up with cleaning up after disrespectful visitors.

Grey Nurse shark article: Some fishers will resort to any fishing method. Now they are using lassos and destroy the credibility of responsible recreational fishers. These methods should be outlawed. By the way I wonder if those hooks were commercial or recreational hooks.

Byron Bay Q I refer to the council meeting on March 22 and the resolutions passed as per the council minutes. In its desperation to be able to demonstrate it is doing something, the council is pushing forward with its ‘mini-bypass’ proposal. We reject this proposal on the basis that it makes absolutely no sense at all. It should in fact be called the ‘second wave’ proposal. Traffic into the middle of town from Ewingsdale Road/Shirley Street will be the first wave; traffic from Butler Street will be the second wave. Trouble is, both waves will hit at the same time. What a disaster. We would prefer that Council stop wasting our rates on

studies and reports and short term solutions (including Crs Barham and Staples, a trial of the proposal) which will exacerbate the problem. The Lighthouse Road debacle is a testament to short term thinking. The present traffic congestion problem is like an overstuffed sandwich. The minibypass represents trying to stuff even more fillings into the sandwich and will eventually collapse. With reference to Cr Staples’s letter (Echo, April 10): Cr Staples, this is not good value for our rates. We absolutely have a vested interest in making sure our rates are prudently allocated and our residential amenity is not destroyed by traffic congestion. In this instance, doing nothing would be a better alternative. We, as a community need to think and act long term. The existing railway corridor is the logical bypass solution for the town supported by good alternative transport. Bill Mitchell

Clean fossils of the future? How about ready renewables? Matthew Wright

There’s a lot of discussion and political jostling around energy options, decarbonisation, low-carbon or zero-carbon transition. Looking at the options, let’s begin with today’s dominant player, conventional coal. Its fate is easy to summarise: we burn it now in old, outdated power stations but it no longer has a social licence and banks aren’t lining up to finance it. Conventional gas is mooted by energy industry pundits and their bosses as the clean, green option for our energy future, all the while ignoring fugitive emissions and not actually installing anything significant due to lower than forecast demand increases on the national electricity grid and the huge price uncertainty and volatility that comes with the fuel. This uncertainty is underpinned by the imminent linking of Australia to world markets and resultant export price parity. Will gas be cheap as in the US where the shale gas revolution has dropped prices, or will it be expensive like the Asian spot price or UK price, and will it trend towards parity with oil which itself is steaming towards $200 a barrel? (We don’t run our current electricity sector on diesel so why would we run it on gas at diesel prices?) Nuclear was not an option for Australia even prior to Fukushima. As second generation nuclear plants have a bad name and are basically off limits in any OECD country, the industry has come up with third generation plants, but these have so far proved impossible to get built. Not one is operating and the flagship plant, by the world’s biggest nuclear builder Areva, is still under construction. Its construction

time has more than doubled to ten years and its costs have more than tripled over original estimates. This plant in Finland is not expected to be finished for at least another two to four years, if ever. With that in mind the nuclear proponents have leapfrogged their own suggestion of going third generation and now push fourth generation plant. Great on the drawing board, deep in a government-sponsored lab in the middle of nowhere US, and sounds great, but no-one is selling one, which is telling – not GE, not Toshiba, not Westinghouse, not Areva. Just in case you didn’t get that, you can’t buy one at all, anywhere, period! Finally, when carbon is in the discussion and the coal and gas spruikers can’t convince us with what’s available off the shelf, their public relations departments reel out clean coal

Clean coal and clean gas is a pipedream and typical of Australia’s irrational debate around carbon and energy – something that stems from the influence of the fossil fuel interests over government, through royalties and donations. and clean gas with CCS. The problem here is that they don’t exist. The spruikers talk about each component being demonstrated in the laboratory, but show us the plants? They can’t. Their proposed future with both (non-existent) clean gas with CCS and clean coal with CCS is designed not only to justify the status quo of burning fossil fuels, leading to unhealthy local pollution and dangerous climate change, but to slow the impetus for installing new renewable energy infrastructure, com-

mercially available and off the shelf today. Solar photovoltaic is going gangbusters and has (what they would call) the unfair advantage of competing in the retail market, which no other significant energy source on the table can do. And wind is on the cusp of competitiveness with new conventional coal and gas plants and is much cheaper than any futuristic (unproven) advanced or clean designs. Now, given that the coal, gas and nuclear proponents always want to talk about the technolo-

gy that they’re not selling (clean gas and coal with CCS, fourth generation nuclear), then for an apples-with-apples comparison we’ll have to skip over today’s rooftop solar PV, which has halved in price over the last two years, or wind power, which is now competitive with gas in many markets around the world, and talk about the renewable options that are still in the lab (or in more advanced stages of commercialisation) for our energy future. Well, for starters the roof of my house can host 18kW of solar panels which, at today’s best efficiency of 20 per cent, would generate 23MWh a year. But in the (futuristic) world where they tell us CCS could be a reality, multi-layer rooftop solar would be delivering 40 per cent efficiency; meaning my roof would generate 46MWh a year and have awesome low light (cloud cover) performance, meaning I’d get more than enough power for my all-electric house directly on winter days and annually send out 35MWh of electricity out from my property to be used by commerce or industry. And of course I’d have a battery bank so I could have effective self-sufficiency, which would allow me to ride through any high price periods on the electricity grid, like at night when the sun isn’t shining. Nissan says batteries will halve in price for its 2015 electric vehicles. But let’s not stop with a 2015 prediction; CCS and fourth generation nuclear proponents expect us to wait until 2030 for their very nascent offerings. The battery prediction in line with research and development that is going on in the lab at present is that batteries will be four times the density and a quarter of the cost.

This means that a modern efficient home will be able to get a 50kWh battery bank to ride itself through the worst of winter for $6,250, which is much cheaper than the $13,000 that every household in Australia is expected to pay on their electricity bills for upgrades to transmission and distribution infrastructure over the current fiveyear period. So if we’re going to talk about futuristic clean coal or clean gas with CCS as an excuse to hang on to hope for today’s beloved dirty coal and gas sectors, then we have to talk about solar technology that’s 40 per cent if not 60 per cent efficient; batteries that are at least a quarter the cost and a quarter the size and that won’t just be for stationary applications but also eliminate the need for gas and oil in our vehicle fleets. Electric vehicles with amazing ranges will make driving expensive fossil-fuel guzzlers look like an embarrassing proposition. Clean coal and clean gas is a pipedream and typical of Australia’s irrational debate around carbon and energy – something that stems from the influence of the fossil fuel interests over government, through royalties and donations. We are ready to roll with renewables today, no new capital should be spent locking in anymore fossil fuel burning. As we deploy our renewables they will continue to get cheaper. We’ll learn as we go and, most importantly, we’ll benefit from the learnings that are continuing to benefit the world’s most innovative successful economies.

cepts, to create ‘Cornucopia Muse’ opposite the one stop shop in Federal. Before purchasing the land owned by solicitor Daryl Quigly, the Cornucopia Muse group held a public meeting in the Federal hall to share their design concept with residents for an opportunity for them to contribute ideas and opinions, and meet the group. Cornucopia Muse had been looking for a parcel of land that was zoned residential as well as commercial, big enough for about a dozen apartments or small semi-detached homes, with a commercial component on the street side, and space for central orchards and gardens, also with a northerly aspect to enable full solar potential for all buildings. A mix of age groups, singles and families, we were all ready to go after finding the land at Federal that

fitted the bill. Even the council were backing us as we would be helping them with an affordable housing outcome for the shire. As a not for profit group of low-income earners this plan offered a fabulous solution to the housing shortage in the shire, and also a commercial component to make it sustainable.

Cr Basil Cameron from Goonengerry was sitting off to one side separately with other residents of Federal village and the surrounding area. There were a lot of people in the hall. We had not been prepared for such a barrage of negativity. No-one wanted Cornucopia Muse opposite their one stop shop that was more than enough commercial enterprise for Federal, they said. They came to Federal precisely because there was nothing in the village. They came from other places and didn’t want anything like that in their village. They didn’t want other commercial things, like community services or stores of any sort. They didn’t like the idea of

flavours like citrus, pineapples, chilli, onions, garlic, or shallots. Fats, oils and dairy products should also stay out of the compost as worms won’t eat them. ‘Look for earthworms in the garden just after rain. Earthworms come to the surface during this time to find food and mates, without fear of drying out. If you’re raking leaves, re-potting a plant or digging up the garden, you should see them now. Generally speaking, you’ll see more earthworms during the wetter months, particularly during autumn and spring,’ said Mr Corbett.

affordable housing in their Federal village. A doctor asked if we had a swimming pool, could everyone come and use it? Cr Basil Cameron said the land should be a soccer field. Jan explained that it was private land and he could buy it for that if he wanted to, there was nothing stopping him, but it wasn’t actually big enough for a sports field, or a DA might not be necessarily approved for it. Basil said he wanted Council to buy it. Everyone agreed with Basil and said that they had always had the use of the land (that was maintained by the private owner), and they didn’t want any changes to that.

Radical ideas

Les Einhorn is upset that The Echo published details of our peaceful witness for the suffering of the Palestinian people at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall where Israeli singer Mosh Ben Ari was in concert (Letters, April 10). Les cannot be so naive that he fails to realise that although Mosh sings songs of peace, love and harmony he cannot be considered a serious challenge to the Zionist narrative or else his Australian tour would not be advertised on the websites of the Israeli embassy and the Zionist Federation of Australia. One of Mosh’s colleagues told me that life wasn’t too bad for Palestinians so it’s not surprising that this ignorance leads Mosh to sing in a ‘vacuum’ while, wittingly or otherwise, helping to deodorise Israel’s stinking, illegal practices. Les and those who think like him should read Jonathon Cook’s Disappearing Palestine: Israel’s Experiments in Human Despair (Zed Books 2010), which details the barbarous, criminal treatment Chai Hicks Israel is meting out to PalTalofa estinians. In the face of this

mously wanted the land to be left alone and ‘us’ to all go away. No-one stayed for tea and snacks or to introduce themselves. One man said we should not take it personally, as we looked like a nice group of people. A woman said when the people of Federal need anything more than their one stop shop had they are more than happy to leadfoot it to Lismore! From our side there was the feeling of, who would want to live near people so seemingly governed by fear that they could not embrace something new and creative and potentially fun and inclusive? Now I hope that having had no one stop shop for a while and the pending demise of the one restaurant, that the Federal residents might take this opportunity to experience a moment to dream of what they could have had and how something a bit different and creative just might have been a fun and an exciting thing in an otherwise vacuous life seemingly governed by fear and exclusiveness.

16 April 17, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo

So who wants to be Byron mayor? Q Who would want to be? You’d have to be a masochist; there wouldn’t be a more frustrating council (to be part of) in all of Australia. As a professional engineer, it is frustrating enough to work for councils that don’t have the resources to meet many of the demands placed upon them. Byron Shire Council was even more frustrating due to having to ‘fight’ with councillors to be able to do ‘the right thing’ for the community. Ross Tucker ‘an unstoppable bandwagon’ (Echo editorial, April 3)? In Byron Shire? I guess anything is possible – not likely, though. It was relieving to see the reference to ‘reckless financial management by the conservative councillors’. In these situations, the GM is usually blamed, the councillors gen-

Jack Sugarman Q Noah Yamore (Letters, April Hayters Hill 10) rightly praises Fast Buck$ for his decades of activism Q The coming council elections and recommends he be electare our chance to install a rep- ed mayor. I acknowledge his resentative local government, key role in helping six newlyand to choose a mayor who elected councillors (myself

included) get rid of a general manager (and consequently his entourage) in the mid-90s. His uncompromising approach is hated by bureaucrats but is an ongoing inspiration to most on the progressive side, myself included. Buck$ is about integrity. However, Noah should beware of trying to create what the great Buck$ himself has termed ‘paper realities’. He claims Buck$ ‘fought vs Club Med’. Between 1992 and 1994 I and the late (and loved) Annette Coyle worked nearly fulltime on the Club Med campaign. I can’t locate a single document from Buck$ which refers to the issue. With Buck$, you don’t need to, to use one of former Mayor Ian Kingston’s favourite expressions, gild the lily, Noah.

incontrovertible evidence the Rabbinical Council of Jewish Voice for Peace wrote an open letter to the US United Methodist and Presbyterian churches which says in part: ‘Every day Jewish leaders – we among them – are stepping forward to express outrage over the confiscation of Palestinian land, destruction of farms and groves and homes, the choking of the Palestinian economy and daily harassment and violence against Palestinian people. Members of the Jewish community are increasingly voicing their support for nonviolent popular resistance against these outrages – including the kind of cautious, highly-specified di-

vestment such as the United Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church (USA) are preparing to undertake.’ (Read the letter and watch the video – www.rabbisletter.org.) It’s about time Les Einhorn, the Jewish community and the Australian government faced the facts and found their conscience to also step forward like these brave American rabbis.

cally step outside the labels and mind boxes that have been created around this issue. If we really want to resolve this we must stop using the words Palestinian or Israeli, Jewish or Arab (or any nationality/ethnicity/religion for that matter) and start using the word Human Being, our common nation being Earth. First and foremost above religion, nationality or ethnicity we are human beings with the same basic needs and interests. It is pretty simple: we all want to be happy, healthy and free. We need access to clean land and water and we want to live peacefully. It doesn’t really matter who was there first or who was

there in greater numbers or who has been more persecuted or dispossessed. What matters is how we can start to resolve this issue now. When we take out the ideas of Arabs and Jews out of the picture and just see people who have common needs and interests then it becomes a whole lot simpler! I hate to disappoint you but there are no such things as Jews or Arabs; they are figments of our collective imagination and it’s time to wake up from the nightmare. Reality is a whole lot sweeter – it’s just us. It is radical, I know, but it is time for something radical.

THE CARBON TAX ZERO CARBON ENERGY Australia is introducing a price on carbon, which will start on 1 July 2012. The carbon pricing mechanism will start at a fixed price of $23 a tonne in 2012-13, and then transition to a flexible market price under a ‘cap and trade’ scheme in 2015-16. In both the fixed and the flexible price period, liable entities will have to pay a price for every tonne of carbon pollution or the equivalent amount of certain other greenhouse gas that is emitted. Liable entities will be required to report on their emissions; liable entities can meet their liabilities by either surrendering units to meet the obligation, or paying a unit shortfall charge. A price on carbon pollution will create incentives for Australia’s biggest polluters to reduce their emissions and invest in clean energy. – cleanenergyregulator.gov.au

That the carbon tax is being resisted by all the major players is no surprise. Almost our entire energy creation industry is heavily cross-linked with the mining industry. It’s the mining that adds value as far as the producers are concerned. The costs of the hardware eg turbines, power lines, etc stay relatively constant and are paid for over time. There-after the system only needs servicing and occasional upgrading. Coal, oil and gas can be mined cheaply and sold to the generating companies at heavily inflated ‘international’ prices, which are, of course, passed on to you and me, thus adding immense profits. What the carbon tax seeks to do over time is replace coal, oil and gas with free energy alternatives such as sun, wind and waves. In the future all that will be necessary is the hardware, which once paid for, to repeat,

ZOMBIE WOMBATS ATTACK A CARAVAN PARK. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW? EXCEPT THAT ZOMBATLAND IS THE NEW SHOW BY CULT THEATRE GROUP THE SUITCASE ROYALE. WITH INSANE STORIES, LIVE ORIGINAL MUSIC AND SETS MADE FROM FOUND AND ‘JUNKYARD’ OBJECTS, THEY HAVE CREATED A STYLE SO UNIQUE THAT IT’S RARE TO SEE THE MELBOURNE TROUPE PERFORM BACK HOME AS FESTIVALS ALL OVER THE WORLD DEMAND THEIR INVENTIVE AND WARPED LIVE SHOWS. SEVEN CHATS WITH TROUPE MEMBER JOSEPH NEIL O’FARRELL ABOUT THE SUITCASE ROYALE AND ANIMALS THAT LOOK LIKE HAIRY BUMS WITH FACES. What is ‘junkyard theatre’? Theatre that is literally created by Junk that we find on the side of the road. But we also created the term to describe our style of theatre in performance, as it incorporates everything music, comedy, theatre, inventions. It’s a junkyard of possibilities. Best junk find? In one day we found a full penguin outfit and miniature motorbike for the penguin to ride on‌ awesometown! How do you incorporate music into your theatre works? Live music is fully integrated into our shows. We are a band and a theatre company at the same time, so expect some toe-tappin’ tunes when you come along to check out our show. What famous musician would you say each person in your trio is most like and why? Well I am a Springsteen man myself. Then I would say: Glen – Weird Al Yankovic and Miles is a big Kasey Chambers fan, so a male equivalent probably. You’ve toured internationally – what do you think makes your works appealing to international audiences? Any tour stories? I think audiences really like the iconic Australian nature of our work. As for touring stories, well, we’ve been lost in the Arizona desert, chased down the streets of Dresden by a stalker in Germany and recently did a private soundcheck for Neve Campbell in London. It’s always interesting at Royale HQ. What sort of stories capture your imagination? Stories of the backyard tinkerer, the characters that exist in small Australian towns. Movies like Wake in Fright and the Cars that ate Paris. We can’t wait to get to Lismore! How do you develop a show? It takes a lot of time, you have to go to the bridge of insanity and back‌ Zombie wombats – where did that idea come from? We read an article about families camping and being woken up in the middle of the night to the growls of big

fat wombats trying to get into their tents to get their food. We thought it would be funny to make a show about evil wombats. They are animals that look like big hairy bums with faces. We kind of mixed that with inspirations from the Ozploitation movie of the 60s and 70s. What can audiences expect from Zombatland? A fast, fun show with great music. It’s like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We start the show in a normal Australian environment then open the wardrobe into this strange place where zombie wombats are running amok. We pride Zombatland on being a great first date show, so find someone you want to pash and get a ticket! The Suitcase Royale perform Zombatland at Norpa Lismore City Hall on Saturday 21 April, 7.30pm tickets www.norpa.org.au or call 1300 066 772 Patron advice: adult themes! Tickets: adult $37, conc $30, under 18 $16.50, student rush $20 at the door.

OLYH PXVLF YOUTH ROCKIN THE SUBURBS Byron Bay’s YACROCKCAFE are celebrating Youth Week with a massive free party on Friday. MC for the night is Byron’s very own Dancin’ Man Thomas Franklin.

Most of the crowd know my songs, know what to expect at my gigs so it seemed fitting to film it there. I was lucky enough to have Kevin Bennett, Shane Nicolson and Kasey join me for a few songs. What should we expect for your show in Mullum? My show in Mullum will be a journey through the music I grew up on and what it’s developed into today. I use various different instruments such as dobro, lap steel, mandolin and guitars to showcase anything from folk/country and blues music, with story songs about life.

Bill you are self-taught – how has that helped fashion your signature style as a musician? Being self-taught has made me play guitar in just the limited way I learned from listening to old vinyl records. I keep it simple because that’s all I can do. What took you to the outback? I moved to the outback with my wife and kids looking for a better lifestyle. Music became a part of that simply because we had no TV so we sang and played together for our own entertainment. It’s a romantic notion, you and the kids sitting around the fire singing Hank Williams that would kill this iPod generation! Were you aware at the time that you were giving them something special? I don’t think it crossed my mind at the time that I was setting them up for a life in music or anything special. I just sang songs to my kids like my dad did for me. What is it about the landscape of Australia that seems to inform country music? Much of Australia is rural, dry and barren. That lends itself to dreams about cowboys living on the land, which is the core of hillbilly music that I grew up with as a kid. You still tour with Kasey – what’s it like taking the backseat with your daughter at the wheel? I’m perfectly happy taking a backseat to Kasey. She’s taught me a lot and I think playing in her band is the best job in the world. What are the stories that you get from being on the road? I meet so many different people. They all have a story worth writing about. Are you a collector of stories? What is the essence of a good story for you when it comes to songwriting? Sometimes songs come from three words someone said, or from the feeling you get

WHEN WILL I BE FAMOUS? The whole world wants to be famous. Reality shows, facebook postings, personal YouTube channels, tumblers and tweeters are able to provide fame faster than McDonalds can slap out a cheeseburger, and with almost the exact same spiritual nutrition. With Master Chef, Master Junior Chef, X Factors, So-You-Think-Youwon’t-mind-letting-us-humiliate-you-duringPrime-Time-by-exploiting-your-narcissisticdesire-for-needless-and-unwarranted-attention, it would appear we are moving into a future where we are all famous. Yes, everyone can be famous. Even babies who vomit on themselves and then suck it back up through their noses. In fact if you bit Charlie’s finger then you are going to grow up as the ‘Wow you are the guy who bit Charlie’s finger!’ The great thing is that it’s been pretty well established that to be famous you don’t need to be able to do anything. You don’t need an amazing invention or a PhD, or to have discovered the cure for cancer. You don’t need to be able to sing, or dance, or even write good music. In fact, talent could be a real fame inhibitor, as a passion for your craft may in fact limit your ability to subject yourself to constant

media manipulation and public shamings. All you need to be famous is some attractive sisters, with big tits of course, and maybe a signature arse. If you are prepared to put foreign objects in an orifice and then tweet about them then you are ahead of the pack. Then wear a bikini all the time. Get fat, get thin, get fat, get thin. And of course you have to release a sex tape. It’s a tricky thing to shoot. I gave it a crack and unfortunately my sex tape just features a few stilted attempts at foreplay, where various children bring the action to a close with demands for water, or money or revenge on Charlie, who they allege ‘just bit their finger.’ The sex tape then features about 8 hours of my husband and I sleeping. Or attempting to. We are caught stumbling through the dark towards the baby’s room. There’s a tiny bit of nutsack swinging out of shot, but that’s on a midnight dash to the loo, not rompy pompy. There are screams, but not of passion. Of a toddler who doesn’t want to stay in their own bed. Toddler arrives in the bed. And then there’s the moneyshot, me bending over the bed hitting snooze on the alarm.

I’ve tried a few times to release our sex tape but it keeps getting rejected. It’s making getting famous harder than I thought. I was even contemplating releasing a sleep tape, to corner the fantasy market for parents with young children. That’s a concept that certainly turns me on. It’s not just adults who want to be famous. Our children are growing up wanting to be famous as well. In fact if you ask most kids what they want to be when they grow up, they will say, they want to be a famous musician, or famous actor... no one says they want to be a famous accountant. So why doesn’t TAFE bring in a new certificate course called ‘Getting Famous’? It could have various levels, from idiot to advanced. Tips on how to set up your own YouTube channel, exercises to help bypass the self-consciousness gland, and best of all, advice on what handbags and sunglasses you should use when you eventually do become famous. Being shallow is harder than it looks. For those who fail at becoming famous for their cooking or their acting, take heart – if you grow a beard, live in the bush and become a serial killer, you’ll still get a crack at having your name in lights, although when you finally get your moment, you’ll find the hotels aren’t that good, and you’ll probably have to poop in your own sink. Parents who missed out now trot their dreams out using their children as Fame avatars. If I can’t

achieve it myself, I’ll be able to live through you my child, it’s fame by proxy, now dance you lazy little fucker, dance! I’ve met lots of famous people. Bono is just a midget in a hoodie. Famous people aren’t that interesting. Once you’ve got over the fact that they’re famous, they’re just another spoilt brat used to being the centre of attention. It’s time we reframed the whole fame thing and started to value people for qualities other than being attention seeking show offs. Clever, talented, inspired people are interesting. Eccentrics are interesting. Taxi drivers are interesting. Nurses are interesting. But they don’t put out sex tapes or appear on the front of New Weekly with tight bikini clad buns declaring ‘Best New Bodies’. (Like you can put your old body on eBay and get a new one!) Somewhere out there will be a kid bravely pioneering a new tomorrow with a plan to outwit the fame game; he or she will make the choice to be a nobody. A loser without a profile on the social network, or a twitter account. In a world where everybody is famous, in the end it is the person who decides to be a no-one who will be remembered.

BOWEN’S LEAP OF FAITH A fundraiser for the Integral Arts Mentoring Project opens at Kartel Espresso Bar in Cabarita Beach on Friday at 6pm. Local artist and mentor Jhana David Bowen will open his exhibition Leap of Faith accompanied by a live performance by the wonderful and well-known musician Richard Bell together with an undisclosed spoken word and poetry artist to mysteriously appear on the evening! All proceeds from the event will fund the Mentoring Project initiated by Integral Arts, delivering much needed art mentoring to people living with a variety of disabilities within the community. Integral Arts’ vision is to create a non-exclusive and culturally alive community in the Tweed Coast region without discriminating against those living with disabilities. Artworks in the exhibition carry visually symbolic images; stunning works depicting graceful feminine forms; figures flying amidst stars in atmospheric, colourful skyscapes; artworks rich with layers of paint give a luminous depth to descriptions of life. The Leap of Faith theme revolves entirely around celebrating life purpose. Living one’s dreams, regardless of personal fears or obstacles.

NICK GOES THE FULL MANDY! Comedians Mandy Nolan and Nick Penn team up to create a 2-hour plus comedy show that they are bringing to a country town hall, bowlo or pub near you. Nolan, a perennial favourite on the local circuit who now runs eight thriving comedy rooms from Casino to Currumbin believes that country folk love a laugh as much, if not more than the next person! In fact, as country-based comedians, the two performers believe that country crowds appreciate material that they can relate to. Nolan has been performing stand up comedy for 26 years. It’s something she believes that she only became better at when she gave up her girlish dreams of being rich and famous in the big city. ‘I only really started to develop as a comedian when I became a mother. Becoming a mother made me very conscious about where I chose to live. I didn’t want my kids growing up in the city. I value country life and the freedoms we have here. When I decided that I was going to live in a country area my comedian friends in the city were shocked. It was impossible to think that you could be a comedian outside of the city! But that has turned out to be

aliens at point blank range with one of the ship’s cannons (it was my favourite bit), and Brooklyn Decker, a blonde with praiseworthy breasts but no discernible acting ability, wanders with a black legless Army vet around what resembles the estate in Hawaii inherited by George Clooney in The Descendants. It’s up to Taylor Kitsch, the guy who fell for Brooklyn in scene one, to do the sullen-lair-turns-hero thing after his brother is killed by the evil ones from outer space. And of course, Liam Neeson, worried as ever, is there as the Old Salt. All I can say is thank Gawd it wasn’t left to the mob from Pyong Yang to save our bacon. ~ John Campbell

Salmon Fishing In The Yemen Sadly, it has come to this – when cinema’s cognoscenti describe any movie as ‘feel good’ they are damning it with faint praise. It’s as if art can only be meritorious if it is bleak and miserable, in a foreign language, ‘hard hitting’ or, spare me, ‘cutting edge’ (the Net, with its smorgasbord of unedited excesses, has annihilated whatever that self-important concept ever meant). So let’s go one better and say that Swedish director Lasse Hallström’s latest piece is ‘feel great’. Hallström, though inconsistent, has a rare touch with tenderness – My Life As A Dog and The Cider House Rules are personal favourites – a trait unlikely to ever endear him to serious pundits. Here, he sensibly overcomes the silliness of his story’s premise – that a Yemeni sheikh might establish a salmon fishing reserve in his homeland’s desert – by having all of the characters concede that it is a folly. But that is what it’s all about – how faith can move mountains, how benign providence will FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED

always play a part in sorting our troubles and travails. Dr Fred Jones of Fisheries (Ewan McGregor), unknowingly trapped in a failing marriage, receives a preposterous email from Harriet (Emily Blunt), a PR whizz at a law firm, who wants to accommodate the whimsy of billionaire Sheikh Muhammed (Amr Waked). A toe-cutter in the Prime Minister’s office (Kristin Scott Thomas) promotes the scheme with the aim of finding a positive headline from the Middle East and, unlikely as it seems, the project is suddenly a goer. The plot has a couple of wobbly moments, but the accidental romance that blooms between Fred and Harriet (and, to a lesser degree, between Fred and the sheikh), and the gentle charm with which Hallström draws you into the slyly developed scenario is engrossing at every step of the way. Waked’s mystical, handsome Arab (in the line of Alec Guiness’s Faisal) is, as he must be, a little too good to be true, while there is a constant reminder of Tom Courtenay’s Billy Liar in McGregor’s beautifully understated performance. An inspiring, loveable film. ~ John Campbell

A Separation Politics, prejudices and patronising endorsements sometimes play more than just an insignificant part in determining the winner of an Academy Award for best foreign film; writer/director Asghar Farhadi’s superb drama proves that a riveting story with great performances need be the glittering prize’s only essential criterion (it and The Artist make up the Oscars’ best double in yonks). It opens with Nader (Peyman Moadi) and his wife Simin (Leila Hatami) speaking directly to camera – to you. Stating their case for divorce before a judge, both claim the right to

keep their young daughter, Termeh (Serena Farhadi). The couple is in intractable opposition, and when Simin leaves the household Nader employs pregnant Razieh (Sareh Bayat) to help care for his Alzheimer’s-striken father. A misunderstanding and an apparently minor accident result in tragedy. The perplexing thing for the audience is that nobody is clearly right or wrong in what they do and say. How often are we led – browbeaten in many cases – to favour one side over the other? Mainstream cinema is so dominated by the adversarial paradigm of good versus bad, with heavy-handed music prodding our responses, that thinking about what we are seeing has largely become an optional process. Compared with the green-screen mega-duds that arrive week after week in the

multiplexes, A Separation has been made on a shoestring, relying solely on plot, dialogue and characterisation (the performances are brilliant). External scenes have been shot with a hand-held, obviously hidden camera – it is unlikely that there would have been more than one take for any of them – and the rawness of the technique adds to the realism. Not that the movie should be regarded as mere agitprop. Dealing with women’s rights and the (to us) almost medieval underpinnings of Iran’s judicial system, it is certainly that, but far and away its primary concern is the human condition and how circumstance and self-interest conspire, how we tell little lies and half-truths to justify our actions, how responsibility confounds and love confuses. A wonderful, unmissable movie. ~ John Campbell

1. It doesn’t rate all that highly on the Tomatometer but this Echo drudge thinks Hancock (Go!, Saturday, 8.30pm) is good fun. Will Smith plays a hard-drinking superhero who is more problem than saviour, costing his city millions of dollars in infrastructure damage. Jason Bateman is the PR man who tries to reform his image. It’s a satrical look at the whole superhero myth and at PR spin. 2. A new Australian movie! Lachy Hulme and Shane Jacobson play two of the trapped miners in Beaconsfield (NBN, Sunday, 8.30pm), the story of the 2006 gold mine collapse in Tasmania which drew international attention. There was to be a mini-seres of the same name, so this might be the precursor or a change of plan. Of the 17 people who were in the mine at the time, 14 escaped immediately following the collapse, one was killed and the remaining two were found alive using a remote-controlled device. While reporting from the mine site, prominent Australian journalist Richard Carleton suffered a heart attack and died. When Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters heard of the miners’ request to have the band’s music sent down on MP3 players, he faxed them, indicating he would meet them for a beer. He was good to his word, and later the band recorded an instrumental in tribute to the miners.

It must have been more than eight years ago when I first met Cecile. She had been cooking her own particular style of exotic vegetarian food at Baraka, the wonderful little Middle Eastern emporium in Jonson Street where Red Ginger now stands. And she had just published a slender book of her recipes, so I duly interviewed her. On and off over the years we have met up again. South African-born of Lebanese parents, Cecile is irrepressibly enthusiastic, vivacious and at times provocative, a fiercely intelligent graduate of anthropology, psychology and sociology who for many years worked on behalf of people disadvantaged by or suffering from apartheid-induced poverty and human rights abuses. She moved to Sydney with her husband and two children in 1986 and several years later established a cooking school and catering business called Cecile's Vegetarian Kitchen. For the past 25 years she has divided her time between Sydney and the Far North Coast. Following her memoir Olive Trees Around My Table she has just recently had published by Wakefield Press a beautiful cookbook entitled Mezze to Milk Tart, which could well be the memoir's companion piece, drawing as it does on the various influences which shaped her growing up Lebanese in Africa. 'Food', she tells us in the book's introduction, 'is a great part of the nostalgia we share. It anoints our social occasions and takes our memories to families and friends long gone‌' Her vegetarian food in particular, however, furnishes other functions: Cecile's desire to prove that it 'was more than just toast and cheese or lentil soup' and could on the contrary be truly exciting; a respect for the environment; the great joy of sharing meals with others. 'Eating is one of life's great pleasures and‌ it must be more than simply topping up our stomachs at the petrol station. It is something to be savoured and something to be shared.'

Sticky Fingers is renowned for its delicious gourmet pizza. Our NEW MENU also offers great pasta, risotto and main courses that include fish, chicken, veal, lamb and pork dishes. We also offer weekly specials using local produce, with an organic twist whenever possible. Enjoy the outdoor dining atmosphere by the riverside in Brunswick Heads. Dine in or take-away.

At Traditional Thai you can discover your new can’t-live-without-it dish among never-get-it-wrong satay skewers and all-time-favourite pad Thai.

This evening (Tuesday 17 April) at the Byron Bay Community Centre, Cecile will be signing her book in the Liberation Larder Kitchen as part of a fund-raising and tasting. It commences at 5.30pm and all are invited. And because she is incapable of not giving, she has pressed upon me a simple, quick meal to share with readers:

Traditional Thai

I want to know which Cecile prefers – writing or cooking. 'There's a synergy between writing and cooking or writing and gardening', she tells me, 'because the mind needs to roam or assimilate in between times of creative expression, especially after writing something deep and demanding.' (Gardening is her other love.) She tells me that when she was writing her novel she would go into her kitchen in between chapters and cook those traditional Lebanese dishes her grandmother taught her. And what, I ask, would her last supper consist of? 'If I knew it to be so', she replies, 'green tea and all the cantatas the Bachs wrote would satisfy me until the end arrived.'

Giants slow out of the blocks in season opener Story & photo John Campbell

The good news is that the Mullumbimby Giants could not possibly play as poorly again as they did in the first half of their NRRRL clash with the Ballina Seagulls on Sunday. The bad news is that, notwithstanding a spirited second stanza, they still copped a 38-12 drubbing. Captain Jake ‘Cobar’ Francisco led the boys on to Les Donnelly Field under a leaden sky and, following impressive

victories in the Under 18s and Reserves, the mood among the faithful in the bleachers was quietly confident, if uncertain. The Blue-and-Golds kicked off, were penalised on the third tackle and, with barely four minutes gone on the clock that played up all afternoon, the Seagulls’ five-eighth Brett Kelly beat the defence cold from twenty out to score the first of his hat-trick of tries. Looking faster, smarter and more switched on, it came as no surprise to see Ballina’s lock stroll

under the posts soon after. Down 12-0, the locals’ pessimism was compounded when, as the Giants made a rare sortie into their opponents’ red zone, Ballina’s left winger took an intercept and sprinted eighty metres to the line – nobody got near him. On an afternoon of multiple imperfections, the Seagulls made their first howler by knocking on from the resumption. Mullum capitalized on the invitation by forcing a repeat set of six and getting on the board through a well taken try by centre Tom McQueen. Daniel Woods’s conversion brought it back to 18-6, but any idea that we were witnessing a turnaround was well and truly scotched by three rapid-fire Ballina tries that put the Giants out of business. The second of them ensued from a Mullum penalty that did not find touch and, to give credit where it’s due, the third, a Harlem Globetrotters effort

that swept along the eastern sideline, was an absolute cracker. Both were scored by Kelly, a vain young fellow waiting to meet his Waterloo. Whatever it was that Mullum’s coach, the great Graham ‘Wombat’ Eadie, said to his charges at the break, it worked wonders. Behind 32-6, the issue was settled, but with a bit of ginger added to the mix we at least had a real game of footy on our hands. Kelly was binned, to the delight of Mullum’s scrupulously fair-minded supporters, and in his absence, Robbie ‘Crazy’ Goodacre stormed over for a try between the uprights. Crazy, who doesn’t know the meaning of the word retreat (‘there’s plenty of other words he doesn’t know the meaning of’ a reliable source confides), was backed up by a more involved Francisco and, with the Giants at last woken up to their responsibilities, they put it to the Seagulls – but it was all too little, too late.

ECHO CLASSIFIEDS 6684 1777

Having had my ad ‘It’s a trust thing’ in the Echo (in the wanted to rent column) for weeks (if not months) now, I will continue to do so till I find the necessary house/abode/home. The response has been great but has not yet yielded the ‘right location’ or people. Both are of equal importance to me. Right location would be in the lower hills area; right people would be those kind-hearted ones who have a spiritual out look on life and thus, by their very nature, are non-exploitative. To the person who texted me saying he is sick of reading the ad: ‘Avert your eyes my dear one, lest you become really sick’. Om-Adam.com

Clearing energy and beliefs brought through from other lifetimes provides signiďŹ cant mental, physical, emotional and spiritual healing to this life today, easily and naturally.

Five years ago to this day, Our loving Dorothy passed away, Wife, Mum and Nanna dear, Through those years we’ve kept her near, Kept her laughter, kept her smile, And hugs that held us for a while... Kept her love, from eyes so blue, And all the little things she’d do...

Comprehensively covering the Far North Coast

A smarter small home being constructed indoors How to afford your own home: info night An information night is being held on Thursday May 3 to help local people understand how they may own a home of their own. On offer are the results of research into changing home needs and strategies that make ownership affordable and tailored to this region. All are welcome. Australian industry leaders have come together as the Future Housing Taskforce. The Taskforce set a new industry record for enquiries when they built an eco friendly affordable home in a warehouse to demonstrate how councils were so out of touch with the real needs of the Australian public. The Smarter Small Home (smartersmallhome.com.au) was pro-

filed on A Current Affair. Future Housing Task Force founder Kevin Doodney, who will be the main speaker at the information night, has been working with 16 councils to help bring home ownership closer to ordinary Australians. ‘The Byron Shire is regarded as one of the most unaffordable places in the whole nation, Mr Doodney said. ‘This puts massive pressure on new families being able to live and work in the region without renting for life. ‘On the night we are not there to just talk, we are there to deliver immediate solutions that are up to $130,000 cheaper than what is currently on offer. We are spending these

weeks leading up to May 3 focusing on ideas which end up in the delivery back to people of home ownership at various price points, instead of the current one-size-fits-all scenario.’

The information night will show new approaches to housing that suit changing buyer needs from work-at-home to single households. The event is sponsored by Tallowood Ridge

Property in Focus

Byron Bay Prime Commercial Property This four bedroom, one bathroom property, located at 39 Fletcher Street, Byron Bay, is currently home to two retail outlets, and is ideally positioned between a doctor’s surgery and a retail/residential complex, which will further enhance the pedestrian traffic and increase the property’s exposure. Located in Byron Bay’s prime retail and business precinct, the premises also enjoys close proximity to many of the town’s main retail centres, lifestyle areas, transport nodes, backpacker accommodation, and the Great Northern Hotel, as well as being only 250 metres to the nearest beach. This makes the property, which dates to circa 1908, an outstanding investment opportunity, as it also has an approved DA and plenty of scope for improvement and future development.

Local Apple Mac doctor Tom Hain has run foul of the mega giant Apple for using ‘Mr Macintosh’ as his trading name, despite his enduring enthusiasm for the product. Reminds us of the Disney lawyers in The Simpsons who rush in and harass anybody ‘threatening’ the trademark, no matter how harmless. Backlash has been using Apple gadgets exclusively for over 20 years and generally likes them, but has never been too impressed with the unhelpful responses from the administration types if something goes wrong with a product. Apple is lucky to have traders like Tom and Lightforce and Mullum Mac who add a human face to the fruity empire.

ABC North Coast has reported on inspiring local group MamaBake: ‘In early 2010, Michelle Shearer created MamaBake which is a community of mothers who get together each week and cook big batches of meals they divide up and take home to their families. The idea is to free women up from cooking at the end of already long days mid-week and to connect with other mothers in the process.’ Hear the audio here: http://bit.ly/HyHjwB – and see MamaBake’s web page at http://mamabake.com.
