Council’s 2012-13 belttightening budget

Rally calls for gas-free region

Rates and childcare are up, community donations cut Chris Dobney

BSC has also taken $48,000 from its community donations allocation, leaving it with just $30,800 to disburse this year. And much of this is already committed to regular donations, previously resolved upon by Council to groups including the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter and Brunswick Valley Rescue, Council spokesperson confirmed.

The Byron Shire Council (BSC) has announced massive cuts to community donations and an increase in childcare costs to balance its 2012–13 budget, on top of a 3.6 per cent rate hike. But Council has defended the budget, with a media spokesperson saying, ‘Council has worked hard to create a continued on page 3 budget that continues to provide important community services like roads, without placing too much pressure on Have your say household finances.’ on the budget at the information In what BSC’s general manager evenings being held at Council’s Graeme Faulkner described as ‘a beltchambers in Mullum on May 22 and tightening budget’, average residential Byron Community Centre May 29. ratepayers will be slugged an addiThe 2012/13 budget, fees and An estimated seven thousand colourful, vocal and committed protesters gathered in Riverside Park in Lismore after tional $40 in the coming financial year. charges and integrated planning marching through the streets on Saturday.

Rumours of Mullumbimby Hospital losing its emergency night doctor appear well founded after its administrator announced video-link technology is being trialed. The Echo had received several calls from concerned residents who said they understood that there would be no doctor available in Accident & Emergency Lewis Carroll’s famous tale comes to life for Bangalow Public (AE) from the hours of 11pm to School’s major fundraiser, the Madhatter’s Tea Party, to be held 7am from the end of June. in the school grounds on Billycart Derby Day – Sunday May 20.

Runs from 9am until 3pm. said the only decision that has

been made is to introduce a telemedicine system that will link the Mullumbimby, Byron and Tweed Hospitals. ‘The introduction of this system will enable a medical officer at the Tweed Hospital to assess patients within the Mullumbimby Hospital ED via the telemedicine video-conferencing system. ‘It is being considered whether these patients can be adequately cared for by nursing staff supported by the medical officers from the Tweed and Byron hospitals.’ He added an average of around two patients per night attend the Mullumbimby Hospital emergency department.

Business lobby, councillors disagree on amalgamation Hans Lovejoy

The amalgamation of neighbouring councils has been suggested by Byron Bay’s chamber of commerce president, Paul Waters. The idea, however, has been knocked back by both the mayor and deputy mayor. Mr Waters is seeking feedback from his members, which he says could create ‘economies of scale’ that would alleviate the Shire’s deteriorating infrastructure. The comments come after Council’s 2012/13 budget and long-term outlook, which sees Council continue to struggle financially with a relatively small rate-base. Mr Waters told The Echo, ‘Economy of scale seems to work for larger councils and other council areas that have been subjected to amalgamation in Qld and Victoria.’ But councillors have disagreed with the idea, saying the blame lays with the state government’s policies and inaction. Mayor Jan Barham told The

Echo it would be a disastrous outcome for Byron Shire. ‘No doubt we need more money, but it wouldn’t solve any major issues financially and it would take away the autonomy of our residents. We have a right to be different; our reputation is built on that as well as our efforts to protect diversity in the region.’ She said she’s been lobbying at state level for more council infrastructure in recognition of the pressure that tourism has on councils. ‘The only funding from the state government that councils receive [in relation to high-level tourism] is tourism marketing,’ she said.

Region doesn’t have to change: Waters Mr Waters argues, however, that our region doesn’t have to change to accommodate other shires. ‘As an example, Cassowary Coast incorporating Mission Beach (not unlike Byron Shire) have amalgamated with surrounding shires. Tully is still Tully, Innisfail is still Innisfail,

Cardwell is still Cardwell... and Mission Beach is still like Byron. It’s a fear that is unfounded – parochialism, or at worst, a drawbridge mentality. I do agree with the mayor that both state and federal governments should tip funds into infrastructure like foreshore parks, toilets and some roads. The old “blame tourism” comment is wearing a bit thin as it’s only a part of the problem.’ Cr Basil Cameron also weighed in, saying that the low rate-base is only part of the story. ‘A major reason for the infrastructure backlog in Byron Shire is the large number of visitors to the area who are unable to make a financial contribution to the local area through measures such as a bed-tax due to state government restrictions. ‘Rate pegging does not allow high-growth coastal areas such as Byron Shire to keep service and infrastructure provision up to the pace of population and visitor growth. Cost shifting continues to be a burden

for local government taking around six per cent of rate revenues.’ ‘Byron Shire receives the lowest amount of federal Financial Assistance Grants paid through the state government compared to other local government areas in the northern rivers. Over the last ten years, Byron Shire has received over $50 million less than the highest recipient in the region (Richmond Valley).’

Failure of state govt: Cr Cameron ‘A key issue for northern rivers communities has been the failure of successive state governments to provide infrastructure within the region, especially in the critical areas of regional roads and public transport. The state government needs to reform the policy framework it sets for local government and rapidly increase funding for infrastructure if the financial sustainability of local government is to be improved.’

Mullum hosts Indo students

A truck that rolled on the Pacific Highway late last Thursday night caused southbound traffic to crawl for most of the following day. The vehicle partially mounted a roadside embankment before flipping back onto the road on its side, about 300 metres south of Kennedys Lane, Tyagarah. No-one was injured in the accident.

Council’s belt tightening budget The spokesperson added that ‘the provision of childcare services was made cost neutral this financial year’ and ‘the new fees are what Council believes will keep the service cost neutral next financial year’. ‘This means long daycare will increase by $3 per day for children under three, and $4 for children between three and five. ‘However, it is important to note that this does not include any government rebate a parent receives for the cost of child care.’ BSC’s general manager Graeme Faulkner said this would be the third consecutive year that the council’s general rates were raised as per the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal rate pegging, which was this year set at 3.6 per cent. ‘While good news for the community, it has been a chal-

lenge to arrive at a balanced budget that does not slip into deficit,’ he said. Mr Faulkner said 2012–13 would see the General Fund having a forecasted $40,000 budget surplus, which would result in an estimated General Fund Accumulated Working Fund Surplus of $542,900 for the 2012–2013 financial year. He added BSC would this year spend more than $3.82 million on local roads and drainage; $3.02 million on parks, reserves and sporting fields; $2.35 million on property maintenance including community buildings and pools; $1.21 million on land and environment services; $4.58 million on recycling and waste management; $5.191 million on sewer services; and $9.79 million on water supplies in direct maintenance expenditures.

Bangalow interchange option announced NSW minister for roads Duncan Gay announced Monday a ‘refined concept option’ for the future Tintenbar to Ewingsdale Pacific Highway upgrade Bangalow interchange. Mr Gay said the roundabout will also be lowered to reduce the level of impact on the Bangalow community from the highway. ‘In response to concerns with the original interchange plan, a working party was formed between Bangalow community representatives and Roads and Maritime Services [RMS] to develop alternative concepts to replace the previously proposed interchange. ‘At the time the working party was formed, the people of Bangalow did not want access to and from the upgraded

highway to their village. ‘But from the 298 submissions received from the community, it was clear the majority of the responses in fact wanted access to and from the new highway to be retained contrary to what was originally suggested,’ Mr Gay claimed. Mr Gay said the the RMS will continue to work with local residents to address other impacts including noise and lighting as part of the design and building process. The decision report and diagram for the refined concept design is available on the project website at www.rms.nsw. gov.au/pacific or via the information line on 1800 882 787 (toll free). Major building is due to start by mid 2012.

Dennetts IGA community bid fails Plans to purchase Mullum’s IGA supermarket as a community-run business have failed to gain enough private equity. And it was close, with the bid short of around $250,000. Mullum Community Gardens president Greg Dutton had called on wealthy local investors to buy the supermarket as founding stakeholders, and in return they would be bought out by the community in the form of shares. ‘In hindsight maybe I needed to test the investment proposition more thoroughly with our über wealthy,’ he said. ‘However, in reality I didn’t have the time for that – there were three other buyers and we needed to be the first with a signed contract. ‘Over the last eight weeks, I personally spoke to and met 37 of our region’s very wealthy www.echo.net.au

individuals as potential founding stakeholders. ‘I was working on what seemed a reasonable assumption – that just four or five stakeholders could comfortably provide the two million we needed to complete the purchase, while our greater community get together and buy them out. ‘Without exception they all sincerely applauded the initiative and gave it fair consideration. ‘It quickly became obvious that if a founding stakeholder invests half a million dollars they would also want to be involved – understandably. ‘Perhaps this was the stumbling block? It seems that nearly all of them are too busy with their current businesses and financial projects to take on what I thought was a rela-

tively small investment in our community initiative. ‘Most of them are also very involved in all sorts of other community and humanitarian projects too. ‘So not one of the 37 invested. ‘And there is a huge thank you due to the five grassroots community members who did commit the $1.8 million.

‘You are very rare and essential people in our community. ‘I’m still getting a flood of support from our community and a loud message not to stop – something could still come out of it! And it may well in the fullness of time. ‘It’s not over until it sells to someone else!’ Q Editorial page 10

Did the people of Mullumbimby buy their own supermarket?

Almost but not quite... Greg here with an update from our Mullumbimby Community Supermarket initiative. Did we make it? Not quite. We raised $1.9 million of the $2.15 required to complete the purchase. We were short $250,000 (legally we couldn’t accept the many smaller investment amounts from our community during this stage – only larger amounts from professional [sophisticated] investors). Sadly I had to rescind the contract to buy Dennett’s IGA Supermarket last week or we would forfeit the deposit.

So what happened? Over the last eight weeks I personally spoke to 37 of our region’s very wealthy individuals as stakeholding investors (most of them referred to me by our community). Without exception they all sincerely applauded the initiative and gave it fair consideration. It’s considered an excellent business with great returns. However, it quickly became obvious that if a stakeholder invests half a million dollars they would also want to be involved – understandably.

Perhaps this was the stumbling block? It seems that nearly all of them are too busy with their current businesses and financial projects to take on what I thought was a relatively small investment in our community initiative. Many of them are also involved in other community and humanitarian projects too. Not one of the 37 invested.

Thank you!! A huge thank you to the five grassroots community members who actually did commit the $1.9 million (I’ll keep their names private). You are very rare and essential people in our community. Thank you to our community – without your passion and support we could not have got as close as we did – very inspiring!

Who was the outstanding team behind this? Wroth Wall who I spent the most time with – thank you for your excellent legal advice and unwavering support. You have changed my view of the legal profession (slightly) and I now consider you a close friend. John Robinson for you willingness to take a chance at the outset with your face in this newspaper – and for all of your timely and diligent accounting work – thank you. Graeme Williams, Katrina Shields and Robert Rosen – thank you for your advice, counsel and support of our project in the community. Hans Lovejoy and the Echo team – your press exposure and commitment to independent and balanced journalism was instrumental in spreading the word. Ross Tucker and the Saturday Star - thank you for the position you uphold in our community and for the excellent coverage you provided. Mark Virtue for our flawless website. Sheia and Tesla for their do-what-ever-it-takes attitude; and Sarah-jane for her excellent project management throughout this intense and demanding initiative. And finally Richard (the owner of Dennett’s IGA) – thank you so much for offering your 15 years of hard work and service to our community in the form of your passion and business. You provided all of us an extremely rare opportunity to come together and collectively own one of our community’s most valuable assets.

Is the possibility of a Community Owned Supermarket now over? Maybe. Maybe not – I really don’t know what could unfold from here! Cheers, Greg…

I’m leaving with renewed faith in my writing and inspiration to continue.’ Byron Bay freelance journalist Anneli Knight submitted her fiction manuscript, To The Bones, about finding home in a strange land, inspired from her time living in the Kimberley. ‘You spend so much time on your own with your characters when you’re writing, and this week it was like our characters were real people as we talked about them in workshops, over dinner, in the sauna and at the beach.’ As part of the mentorship all four writers are invited to submit their manuscripts to Allen & Unwin and will have a consultation with one of their publishers during the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival in August.

In the lead-up to Byron Bay Writers’ Festival, four emerging Northern Rivers writers were selected to spend an intensive week under the mentorship of acclaimed local novelist Marele Day. The mentorship is one of the key programs of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre, and this is the eleventh year that Marele has been involved. ‘I genuinely love doing it. I just feel it’s a privilege to see manuscripts in progress and to be privy to people’s imaginations,’ Marele says. ‘It’s great to see the freshness of the writing in this area and the openness of the writers to bring their work to an even higher level.’ The competitive placement is considered a highlight of a writer’s early career, with many of the program’s past mentees going on to have their work published. Willa Hogarth, whose work of fiction Room Without Windows reveals hidden family secrets, travelled from Coffs Harbour to take part. ‘When I heard I’d been chosen I imagined it would be a writers’ wonderland and it

Byron Aged Care has added five new ensuite rooms in a $650,000 upgrade. Long-term resident Harry Potts (pictured in front), received one of the new ensuite rooms, which were officially opened at the expansion opening ceremony last week. Harry is often seen on his mobility scooter zooming along Jonson Street, while fellow resident Joan Kite (pictured at back with the funky glasses) can be found most days at Main Beach.

Land-use plan on display The public exhibition of the state government’s controversial policy to balance agricultural and mining interests over land has been extended till Monday 14 May. NSW planning minister Brad Hazzard said submissions can be lodged up till then at www. nsw.gov.au/haveyoursay.

Farming vs mining

Reducing your company’s energy use, without having to pay for all the equipment ? That’s smart.

The Australian Government’s Clean Technology Investment Programs provide $1 billion in funding for manufacturing businesses. Businesses like yours can get grants to invest in carbon and energy efficient equipment and processes.

Be smart. Go clean.

Cr Simon Richardson, who opened the facility, congratulated BAC’s Board of Management and CEO Margaret Geoghegan. ‘It’s wonderful that our oldest aged-care centre welcomes individuals regardless of financial circumstances, with its philosophy of accepting nonbonded residents.’ Joan Kite described BAC simply as, ‘It’s pure Byron; alive, superb staff, great food, providing freedom and friendliness.’

The plan has drawn flak from both mining and farming lobbies and, at a recent protest against it in Sydney, farmers said they were betrayed by the plan giving mining supremacy over farming and agricultural

land not protected as promised before the election. But the NSW Minerals Council claims the draft policy would cause NSW to lose $1 billion a year in mining royalties for the next two decades, resulting in 8,000 lost jobs, mostly in the coal-rich Upper Hunter region. NSW Farmers president Fiona Simson said the report showed the government’s failure to provide certainty for both agriculture and mining. ‘It is not a decision between the two; it is about striking a balance and delivering certainty for the future of rural businesses and communities,’ Ms Simson said.

Recyclers – beware the bin stickers Garbage warrior Kate Pye takes a peak in our bins and reports the findings If you’ve had a blue sticker on your recycling bin of late, you’ve been very naughty and put something in there that’s not currently able to be recycled up at our Chinderah Plant. Plastic bags, newspaper wrapping, food and green waste and chip packets are the most common contaminants. If you’ve been extremely naughty and your bin is grossly contaminated with any of these items I’ll tell our drivers not to empty it. It’s amazing how quickly people learn to recycle properly when we put a temporary stop on their service.

And more people will be forced on to it: single parents are to lose their current payments much sooner. And the idea that they will be compensated by a twice-yearly present from the government is unacceptably patronising. To get on with their lives people need a living wage they can rely on, not random and arbitrary handouts. However on the whole, Swan has managed a very difficult balancing act far better than most people expected: the longpromised surplus is there (on paper at least) and it has been achieved with a minimum of pain and quite a few useful reforms thrown in: the initiatives for disability insurance and the new dental scheme are especially worthwhile. So he, and the government which propelled him to it, deserve credit. But of course they won’t get it. It is an iron rule of politics that once you have got yourself

ising everyone a motza, and unlike Swan, he has made no attempt at all to explain how this magic pudding is to work. His confusion over the budget measures themselves make the point. He was opposed to the cut in business tax because it was funded by the mining tax. But when the government gave up on that and proposed to use the same money as handouts under Family Tax Benefit A, he seemed inclined to let it through. He opposed the payment for children’s school needs on the grounds that it would be unaccountable; but he is totally in favour of a baby bonus, equally unaccountable. Why was this different? ‘Well, it just is.’ And of course he himself can provide tax cuts not only for business, but for everyone, without either a mining or a carbon tax. Why, he can find savings of $50 billion just like that. Given that Swan has just taken $45 billion out of the system, this seems improbable; and in any case Treasury estimates that Abbott is already in hock for some $70 billion worth of promises before this new round. But so what? Just look at the polls. No wonder Peter Costello is gnashing his teeth in the background; all this could so easily have been his. But rumours of him making a comeback can be discounted: any attempt would involve a serious political fight, and Costello has never had the guts for one. Tony Abbott can afford to coast towards power, untroubled by rivals, economics, coherence or even sanity. It’s what happens next we all have to worry about. But not, for the next month, me.

And no-one has ever done it before, claims The Australian, lying through its fangs. And so on and on. If Swan and his colleagues had hoped that with this one bound they might be free, they were kidding themselves: there are an awful lot of hoops to jump through yet. But they can take some brief comfort from the fact that Tony Abbott’s vacuous diatribe in reply has generally been dismissed with even less enthusiasm. Yes, it included one good, if recycled, idea: get more Australians to learn Asian languages, a promise of Kevin Rudd’s made in 2007 but never implemented.

In serious waters with weather Q Byron Shire residents make the connection. A small but passionate group gathered on Main Beach as part of a global day of action to ‘connect the dots’ between climate change and extreme weather. Without a whole lot more people adding their weight to the fight for our planet we are not going to make it. We seriously are not. There are solutions but if a football game or a music festival can attract many thousands to a single event and a world event for global climate change action only draws the few, we have a problem. We are in serious waters now, with Queensland’s 44,000 coal-seam gas wells a certainty to pollute our water supply, and NSW not far behind them on the fossil fuel proliferation. We may be at the front edge of wholesale mortality of the world’s forests, says Dr Craig Allen. Renewable energy is being shelved by our governments who fail to connect the dots. Studies point to a common pesticide as a culprit in declining bee colonies in the US and other parts of the world. Bees are vital to life on earth, pollinating 90 per cent of the world’s crops. We can no longer leave our delicate food chain in the hands of research run by the chemical companies

Conduct kerfuffle I only ever look at Ross Tucker’s little pamphlet, The Saturday Star, when I am checking advertised services to avoid or someone indicates a particularly egregious distortion of events has been published. The Star does not accept letters which is probably a function of the standard of literacy of its dedicated readership – so thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for The Echo. In a piece titled Conduct Unbecoming (Star, April 12), Ross’s subject is councillors’

and the regulators that are in their pockets. Without immediate action to save bees, crops will fail and food security will become food wars. More CO2 means more severe flooding, bushfires and droughts, yet the average person in the street is just not getting it. We need to move quickly towards big solar and renewables Bringing it closer to home and our own health and wellbeing: there will be temporary closures of Byron Shire National Parks due to aerial spraying with metsulfuron methyl. I researched metsulfuron methyl since we are going to be once again sprayed from a helicopter with it through out the winter months. Metsulfuron methyl while considered safe did show on the Pan Pesticides Database that this chemical was ‘slightly toxic’ to honeybees – with their note: Population-level effects on honeybees may occur even if a pesticide has low acute toxicity. So our bees will be affected but perhaps a few million bees is fair collateral damage for the mass eradication of weeds. We must stop spraying toxic pesticides, especially from a helicopter in areas of high population, that can indiscriminately destroy or at the least have detrimental affects on everything in its path.

acceptance of an independent reviewer’s recent dismissal of a Code of Conduct complaint levelled by a staff member (on behalf of another staff member?) against Jan Barham. Unfortunately Ross was unable to attend the meeting so he has taken as his text the staff report written by the GM – with probably a little help from his friend. This document (not the first of its ilk from this source) appeared to be mainly an attempt to depict Jan in a bad light. It made no coherent attempt to address

the actual reviewer’s report but it was clear that the GM was very annoyed by the finding. In his article Ross is troubled by ‘a councillor [me] making representations to the Department of Local Government about a perceived conflict of interest of a reviewer’ – the reviewer departed the scene. Ross finds it ‘incredible’ that this reviewer, a lawyer well known to the GM, who has previously supplied a legal opinion unfavourable to another councillor

on a dismissed Code matter, who was paid $83,000 the previous year for Council work; could possibly be considered by the DLG to have a perceived conflict of interest‌! He is also aghast over an allegation that ‘a councillor aligned to Cr Barham [me again] approached the complainant asking that the complaint be reconsidered’. This is not true and I have asked the GM (copy to Ross) for the ‘proof ’ he claims exists; this was on April 30 and no reply to date – don’t really expect one. Ross implies deep suspicion over ‘five potential witnesses who were not interviewed’. As the whole complaint revolved around one phone call it must have been received in the middle of a staff party. Obviously the independent reviewer considered the input of additional witnesses was superfluous and Ross’s concerns are little more than ‘shooting the messenger’. There is more in the same vein and others may take action in this regard. In his frustration in not achieving at least a public hanging Ross reminds me of the cartoon character Wile E Coyote – aiming yet another rocket at the mayor to have it explode under his own bum.

Light on same-sex unions Q President Obama – married, a father, a churchgoer and president of the most religious nation in the western world – has now very graciously ‘evolved’ to accept gay marriage as a human right.

During the last week of the school holidays we saw a TV advertisement for the Bangalow market which featured camel rides. Our two young children were very excited by this, so we delayed our return to Sydney in order to visit the market. After some considerable time trying to locate the rides without success, we made enquiries with one of the stallholders who informed us that: a) the camel lady had not been at the market for at least the past 16 years, and b) the advertisement was amateurish and severely outdated and did not portray the true nature of the market. Our children were very upset and my wife and I annoyed, to Cr Tom Tabart say the least. We were directed Bangalow to the market manager’s office

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’ (Letters, April 13). Mosh proves the validity of Salman Rushdie’s comment that ‘passivity always serves the interests of the status quo’.

[sic] property’ but the essential question here is: what are they doing about it? Criminals like the Israeli government are not dissuaded by disapproval and neither was apartheid South Africa. As Harsha Prabhu put it so well (Letters, May 8), it was economic sanctions that brought down South African

apartheid and it is precisely a universal Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement that will hopefully bring apartheid Israel into the fold of civilised nations. With many Jews themselves supporting BDS I challenge Mr Franco et al to act on their disapproval and support it.

My letters regarding Byron Bay surf lifesavers, describing my real-life observations on the beach and rather modest suggestions for improvement, were written off as a ‘rant’ by Dan McCabe and ‘rubbish’ by Heather Black, who castigated The Echo for even printing Gareth W R Smith them. What price, freedom of Byron Bay speech? The big problem with the letSOIL TESTS & ENGINEER’S DETAILS ters written in reply to mine ALL TO COUNCIL SPECIFICATIONS is that all of the writers seem to equate ‘criticism’ with ‘not caring’, or somehow ‘anti’. This is not true. Additionally, none the letters actually addresses PH 6680 1319 of the points I raised, preferring

instead to just tell me what a dolt I am. In his letter, Rob Siebert mentions the lifesavers who patrol the beach, and Heather Black tells us that ‘their patrols can be at least six hours in the hot sun and glare’ (the same hot sun and glare that the tourists so love), and even Chris Larkin tells me that, should I join the club, I could be out patrolling the beach. Which all brings me back to the main point of my original letter: that the surf lifesavers do not, in my experience, appear to patrol at all! That was the nub of my criticism. I have been walking these

beaches at least once a week for the past couple of years and I have never yet seen a lifesaver anywhere on the beach except in very close proximity to the 50 metre flagged area. (Did I get them on a bad day?) And my suggestion that they might spread out a bit more was not made out of malice, but simply out of a desire to make the beaches safer without much additional effort. My comments about corralling people into a minute flagged swimming area and the very real dangers that lurk therein were simply ignored by all correspondents. I am genuinely interested to know why we must

have these ridiculously small flagged stretches of beach, where people are crowded in like sardines, on a beach several kilometres long. Perhaps there is a logical reason? If so, will someone please tell me instead of just slagging me off. Much is made in the letters of the fact that the surf lifesavers are working voluntarily, as if that somehow makes things different. Unfortunately, work is work and whether the lifesavers are volunteers or not does not alter the nature or scope of the job to be done on the beaches (lifesaving), nor the need to do it. And, like it or not, Byron Shire Council does pay $175,000 per year for ‘surf lifesaving services’. (Check the budget.) Thanks for the invites to join the club. Were my circumstances different, and I were much younger, I would have loved to. (I grew up in a landlocked country, but was a beach bum for a couple of years in my youth, before growing up took over as a priority.) I am retired now and I have two volunteer jobs, from which I get a great deal of satisfaction. Thus my spare time is pretty well taken up. Colin Thornton

Bullyboy tactics It has been said that in order to have good government, the country needs a good opposition, one with the good of the country at heart. Our present federal government is faced with an unprincipled opposition, hellbent on bringing it down. It is disheartening to see the bullyboy tactics of the coalition opposing the government at every possible opportunity in its struggle to introduce legislation in Australia’s best interests.

Sovereign rights As a member of The Greens I want to assure readers of The Echo that Bob Brown and the Australian Greens support the rights of both the Palestinian and Israeli peoples to their own independent, sovereign state. In addition Clause 36 of our international relations policy states that we ‘support the rights of the Palestinian peoples to statehood through the creation of a viable state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel, based on the pre-1967 borders and the right of all peoples in the region to peace’. Please check out the policy online and at the end of the policy the associated resolution on Israel/Palestine passed in 2006 which was added to in March 2010 – http://greens.org.au/ policies/human-rights-democracy/international-relations. The ongoing internal Greens controversy concerns whether or not to also support the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and continued on page 16

Rod in retrospective

Artist Karena Wynn-Moylan is well known for her detailed and loving examination of local laneways, beaches, rainforests and heathlands but just recently she has turned her focus to a more domestic subject: the food we eat and principally the produce available in our local farmers markets. ‘Produce-d’ is the title of

Karena’s latest exhibition and it is currently showing at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery in Cherry Street, Ballina, until May 27. Karena has published a small book of all the paintings accompanied by favourite recipes from the farmers market growers. Only 50 copies of the book were printed and it is available

at the gallery or from Mullumbimby Bookshop. Karena will also be giving a watercolour workshop at the Northern Rivers Gallery on May 20 so you can draw your veg and eat it too! Ring the gallery to book on 6681 6167. Beginners welcome. See more at www.karenawynn-moylan.bravehost.com.

In the 80s and 90s, when I got out more, writer Rod Gibson was a familiar face at Byron Shire bars, plays and art gallery openings. Many of the plays would be his own; at many of the bars he would be performing his own poems – animated, ironic, satirical and sometimes downright silly. Our paths crossed a little: a friendly hello, a joke or two. A ciggie in one hand, a drink in the other, the demon of schizophrenia in his head, Rod mostly inspired affection and some amazement at the delicious turns his writing could take. He was no pushover, however. He was a stout defender of local theatre and Rod would lucidly lacerate in the letters to the editor any review of mine with which he disagreed. I suppose our minds mostly met in the pages of The Echo, where as then editor I published his poems and reviewed his work. And I suppose his work reminded me most of Richard O’Brien’s, the man who electrified the stage with The Rocky Horror Show. Nostalgic trib-

utes to the past mix with cutting satire and a sense of the absurd – sometimes terrifying, sometimes playful. So when Rod shuffled off this mortal coil last year, I was sad to hear of the untimely death at age 60 of the ‘Poet Lorikeet of the North Coast’. Writing is a tough gig to make a freelance living from but Rod gave it his best shot and was rewarded episodically on the way and with a deserving obit by Geoff Helisma in the Sydney Morning Herald – http://bit.ly/ KOXLoX. A lot of people who knew Rod well were also saddened. Among them local theatre director Michael Borenstein, who has staged Gibson’s work over the last 25 years, including the first production of the noted The Fine Art Of Kissing The Ground. It is only fitting that Michael is the man to bring together the tribute, Rod Gibson: A Retrospective, for the Drill Hall Theatre Company. Michael has eschewed many of Rod’s longer, better-known plays and offered up a buffet of short plays, poems and stories.

It works well. The Drill Hall actors – who on this occasion include Rod’s sister, Janet – are very strong and clear in their performances and attack each piece with enthusiasm and skill. Borenstein makes clever use of sound and video, including performances by Rod himself, and a stunning piece of acting by Julie Tweedie in The Beatification Of Mary McCullen. The night is an exuberant expression of Rod’s unique insight into the vicissitudes and joys of life. Unlike some local theatre over the years, it is also of a refreshingly bearable length. Fans of Rod will renew their friendship with the man and his work. Those new to his work, and/or poultry lovers, cannot fail to be charmed by his Ghost Chickens. Rod Gibson: A Retrospective runs Friday and Saturday at 7.30pm, and Sunday at 5pm at the Drill Hall Theatre, Mullumbimby. Tickets at The Bookshop, Mullum, or at the door.

The story so far

Just before Christmas last year Council issued court proceedings against me over three

Coorabell cabins which allegedly didn’t have operative fire alarms. At the time I thought Council staff simply wanted to ruin my Christmas but recently I’ve realised that the timing has another explanation. Staff have now provided me with details of the case against me, and it turns out that the prosecutions were issued three days after I addressed Council during Public Access. I had told them that three cabins I’d purchased from Clarkes Beach caravan park had had their fire alarms disconnected and the wires poked back into the walls. I surmised that this was no doubt done by park staff

because they got sick of guests complaining about the alarms going off at the slightest provocation. Indeed it’s the experience of landlords that guests often remove the batteries from the cheaper kinds of alarm, for precisely the same reason: they are really annoying. Now you’d think that Compliance staff, being so deeply concerned about fire safety, would have been impressed that I was addressing a problem they’d previously identified at my property. You’d also think that they’d rush off to Clarkes Beach and other caravan parks and make sure that no other wires had been dis-

connected. They would then follow with a public campaign to educate people about the different kinds of alarms that are apparently available, right? Wrong. All they did was use my statement to Council as proof that my cabins had defective fire alarms! In other words they are attempting to use my own words to incriminate me. One might ask why they needed this evidence when they presumably had welldocumented notes and photographs from the raid conducted last September. That raid was based on a search warrant that specifically allowed staff to

look and go inside the cabins (and the cops who went along, too). This is where it gets interesting, because I’m 99 per cent sure that that search warrant was invalid and should not have been issued. After the raid I complained to the AttorneyGeneral’s Department that Council staff had provided no prima facie evidence whatsoever that I’d done further illegal building since their previous raid two years earlier. The AG’s reply stated that the only way to challenge the search warrant was if Council attempted to use the evidence gathered during the raid. In

that situation you can ask the magistrate to declare it invalid and to rule out all the evidence gathered. Ratepayers’ funds are at risk simply because in this type of prosecution I can ask for costs if I win. If I lose I will certainly appeal to a higher court. I can also sue for trespass. I’ve asked Cr Tabart to draw this matter to councillors’ attention. Having delegated all their responsibility to staff, these councillors wouldn’t have the foggiest about either the facts or the issues involved. Pontius Pilate would be delighted. Personally I don’t care whether Council proceeds with the prosecution or not. There’s an election coming up in September and a court case, while stressful, also provides a useful forum for awakening the sleeping masses. When courts agree with you your credibility can only go up. Fast Buck$

Yes, great! Security cameras may capture the crime but it doesn’t prevent our young people from harm. A recent trip to Byron Bay on Friday night with friends to catch a movie. Pleasant enough, one would think, but coming out onto the street to see young people queuing outside a venue with a large percentage of those already intoxicated, especially young females. Are these venues allowing intoxicated persons and serving alcohol for a few extra bucks? Are the so-called responsible adults turning a blind eye? Why are they still open after midnight? Have we not consumed enough alcohol already? Are our youth not important enough to make changes to find funding that could potentially save a life? Let’s forget the security cameras and security guards; they won’t save our kids. Let’s get funding to get BYS Street Cruise happening all weekend. Let’s get water stations happening around Byron.

Back to the roots of populism Phillip Frazer

Jim Hightower is one of the most exciting and knowledgable commentators on American politics and this Wednesday May 16 he’ll be in conversation with Kerry O’Brien at the Byron Community Centre. It’s a rare opportunity to gain insight into the inner workings of the biggest economy/country on the planet. Hightower was elected Texas commissioner for agriculture – twice – and in that office he advocated for sustainable local and organic farming for small farmers mostly running family farms, and for the rights of immigrant labour, all the while working to curb the powers of agribusiness. Not surprisingly, this landed him ‘in the sights of the corporate sharpshooters.’ Specifically, George Bush Jr and his campaign manager Karl Rove, who saw Jim as a potential big-vote-winning Democratic governor candidate. Back in the 1980s, Rove got his FBI pals to try to ruin Jim with scuttlebutt and lawsuits. That failed, but a couple of Hightower’s staff members had their lives made miserable and Hightower opted out of electoral politics. ‘These guys can be seriously bad for your health,’ he reckons, so he resumed his career as a writer and public speaker – an agitator in fact, which, as he likes to point out, is the post in the middle of the washing machine that gets the dirt out! His radio commentaries, delivered in his lively Texas accent over peppy music, play every day on dozens of commercial AM stations not usually given to airing the views of (American-style) liberals… but Hightower says he’s not so much a liberal as he is a progressive populist.

challenge the orthodoxy of the corporate order [which] distinguishes the movement from classic liberalism, which seeks to live in harmony with concentrated corporate power by trying to regulate its excesses. ‘We’re seeing liberalism at work today in Washington’s Wall Street bailout. Both parties tell us that AIG, Citigroup, Bank of America, and the rest are “too big to fail”, so taxpayers simply “must” rescue the management, stockholders, and bondholders of the financial giants in order to save the system. ‘Populists, on the other hand, [say:] Let’s reorganise the clumsy, inept, ungovernable, and corrupt financial system by ousting those who wrecked it, splitting up its component parts (banking, investment, and insurance), and establishing decentralised, manageablesized financial institutions operating on the locally-controlled models of credit unions, co-ops, and community banks.’ Jim is extremely tuned in to the US political establishment, and to the very many centres of opposition and reform across the USA. He knows all the players, and he’s in major demand as a public speaker. Speaking with Kerry O’Brien at the Byron Community Centre on Wednesday is his first public appearance on his firstever trip to Australia. He’s eager to share his knowledge and progressive populist perspective with an Aussie audience, so come with questions and comments at the ready. And Community Table Café manager Amanda Gorr says she’s working on a special cocktail to be offered at the cafe tomorrow night only, called – a Hightower, of course.

What’s a progressive populist you ask? Here’s how Hightower put it in a recent issue of our monthly newsletter The Hightower Lowdown: ‘These days, there’s a whole flock of politicos and pundits [claiming to be populists] – from Sarah Palin to Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich to Glenn Beck. They are abetted by a media establishment that carelessly (and lazily) misapplies the populist label to anyone who claims to be a maverick and tends to bark a lot. Although the targets they’re usually barking at are poor people, teachers, minorities, unions, liberals, protestors, environmentalists, gays, immigrants, or other demonised groups that generally reside far outside the centre of the power structure – the barkers are indiscriminately tagged as populist voices. ‘First of all, populism is not a style, nor is it a synonym for “popular outrage.” It is a historically grounded political doctrine (and movement) that supports ordinary folks… against the moneyed elites.

IT’S BEEN A DECADE BETWEEN SOLO ALBUMS FOR DAVID ADES, BUT AFTER A TRIP TO NEW YORK HE RETURNS WITH AN IMPRESSIVE NEW WORK GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY: AN ALBUM DEDICATED TO HIS FATHER, JOE ADES, FAMOUS IN NEW YORK AS THE ‘PEELER GUY’. Every day Joe left home to sell vegetable peelers on the street, setting out alone each morning pushing a cartful of carrots, potatoes and a chopping board. Every day for him was an improvisation. Now it’s David’s turn. As comfortable on the street as he is in the Sydney Opera House, Dave Ades is a world-class musician, with music in his heart, and a story to tell. Why did you decide to travel back to New York for this album? I lived in New York for three years from the age of 19 and also since 2004 I’ve been going back there every year for at least a few months at a time. I’ve been able to forge some great playing relationships with some amazing players over there and it always feels like a second home to me as soon as I hit the sidewalk. What is it about New York that is so evocative for you? The music is the main thing, that’s what draws me there every year; it’s like a devout Muslim having to go to Mecca. It seeps out of every building and street, there a charge in the air unlike anything I’ve felt elsewhere that never fails to uplift and inspire me. Your father had a wonderfully humble and useful profession – how has that inspired you, as a musician (who are notoriously not humble and not useful!)? My father lived of his wits his whole life; he truly knew how to live a day at a time and took life as it came to him. He was a master improviser in that he would launch himself into his daily work with no foreseeable knowledge about how that would pan out or where he would end up or how much he would end up with! For those that aren’t familiar with him, Joe Ades was a master street trader on the streets of New York; Google his name or put it into YouTube and you will be intrigued and entertained for hours. Was it your father who gave you a love of jazz? I’m interested how a young boy coming through the sixties was seduced by the allure of his father’s music, at a time when popular music culture was so dynamic? Yes, it was my father who gave me my love of jazz, and it was also the 60s and 70s that also game me my love of popular music of the times. My first conscious choices in things I wanted to listen to were groups such as The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, The Flock, Santana, Pink Floyd etc. I started playing the drums at age 10 and my drum teacher played me a record of Elvin Jones with John Coltrane and that blew my mind. What was it about jazz for you? Was the alto sax the first choice of instrument for you? I loved playing the drums but I was never that serious about it. I remember reading a book about Charlie Parker, one of the greatest alto saxophonists who ever lived, just before my 18th birthday. It was the first time I had ever really contemplated how a musician could play from his or her inner experience and

communicate an inner voice through improvising. I then went out and bought an alto saxophone and that’s where all the trouble started! Tell me about the musical influences for this album. There is so much to draw from. The one thing I tried to do was write some music so that the players I chose could relax and play without having to think to much about complicated structures. I wanted to great an organic musical environment that encourages individual expression rather than dictates a specific style. After a decade or more, why have you decided to make a solo album? Making a solo album is always an opportunity to dig deep inside oneself and find out what’s there. I like to think of this record as much more of collaboration than a solo album with side players who accompany the soloist. We all solo together! Tell me a little about the two tracks Melissa and Joe the Kid, as two people you have loved and lost, what is the story you are telling with your dedication? I have tried to write pieces in Melissa’s memory before and I had always gotten stuck because I was trying to capture a feeling that was too overwhelming. Joe the Kid didn’t reveal its title until I sat back and listened when we were mixing and I thought, I can hear Joe on his way to work. As a collaborative artist – what do other musicians bring to you – what changes in the playing of David Ades with each collaboration? For the launches around Australia I have used a different band in each city; it’s cheaper to just fly myself around and also I love the way each combination has brought something new and surprising to each performances. Hence, even though we are playing the material of the album it is never the same from one night to the next. I love it when musicians I play

with play with me rather than for me in an accompanying role; that for me is when the magic happens, everyone plays so differently and it always affects my playing. With Glorious Uncertainty what did you set out to achieve? I wanted to make an album that has some authenticity. I wasn’t interest in making an album of saxophone with accompanying rhythm section, there’s thousands of those out there, and for me they get really boring. I wanted to try to create something that was fresh and alive, emotionally direct and that wasn’t about me being in control of the music. Do you feel that you got there? (The reviewers certainly do.) Or do you have to allow the music to take you rather than your conscious intention? It’s only in hindsight that I feel we got there. When we played in the studio that day, we had had only one rehearsal that day before, and we recorded the album in five hours with no listening to takes as we did them, so… yes, the music certainly carried us into the glorious uncertainty that day. Is improvisation more than a way of playing; does it become a philosophy? I think these days there is so much accessible information about how to improvise out there that even though certain players are incredible in their virtuosity and command of the jazz idiom, they have become almost formulaic in their approach. I have for many years endeavoured to live a day at a time and take life as it comes and I try to play from my heart rather than my head. I try and stay open to all possibilities in life and music. What are you thinking when you play? Does it stop, do you think ahead like, ‘I’ll race ahead and close the gate’ OR is it purely about staying in a state of open responsiveness? Or does someone have to lead… I don’t know where this came from but I have always tried

In theory you could be arrested www.echonetdaily.net.au linking arms with girlfriends Doris Day-style dancing through the mall. Sometimes I didn’t even know what I was protesting about. It THY PROTESTETH didn’t matter. Whether it was for women’s rights to abortion or to form a union or land rights for the notorious gay whales, it didn’t There is nothing like a good old-fashioned protest. It’s better matter, feet were on the pavement and the fist was raised. Every than a family fun day. Nothing brings a community together like Friday we’d gather for a march, we’d yell at the cops, someone dissidence. While we join our fellow anti-CSG campaigners to would get arrested and then we’d all go home and get stoned and show our displeasure with the evil intentions to extract gas from write passionate letters to the editor of the Courier Mail, or the, our rolling valleys, there’s a strange debt of gratitude that we owe which we’d actually write by hand, and submit by post, cigarette to the multinational monsters. There’s nothing like an impending charred and wine stained. There is nothing like the thrill of chaining corporate rape and pillage to bring the people together. In a yourself to a tree. If you’ve never done it than put it on your bucket world that has become so focused on iCulture, where everything list. The brothers and sisters of the Terrania Creek action know the is about the individual, it sometimes feels like we really are alone. commitment it takes to save one of the green planet’s highest form Social agitation brings a community together. Young men with of evolution. You have to become one with the tree. And of course dreadlocks walk beside old men with no shirts beside a woman you need a chain. And a reliable person to hold the key. I once with a pram beside a middle-aged couple holding hands, beside chained myself to a tree and was stuck for days when my so called a lesbian, beside the mayor. When thousands of people gather with a shared vision, it’s a powerful thing. Last week I attended the friend met a cute bloke from the Socialist Alliance and disappeared, Anti-CSG Rally in Lismore, along with thousands of other concerned only to eventually reappear well shagged and keyless. I ended up saving the tree, but lost a friendship. Perhaps I should have chained locals. While the prospect of companies extracting coal seam myself to her instead. gas is depressing, the rally was invigorating. The socialist refrain echoed in my ears ‘the people united shall never be defeated’. Ah, It’s so exciting to see people power. For generations we have stayed to empty my head as much as possible when I play so I start with nothing, so yes, a state of open responsiveness. You will hear habitual things that are part of the language I use but I have never consciously learnt licks thinking I’ll play that lick when I get to that chord. I love the feeling of jumping into the musical abyss where it can either work like there’s magic happening or fall dead on its arse. That’s the beauty in the risk. Why did you choose these particular artists – Tony Malaby, Mark Helias and Gerald Cleaver? Tony Malaby is my absolute favourite living saxophonist, his sound is incredible, his approach is always surprising and new, he is a beautiful human being and that comes through his music. I met Tony, Mark and Gerald at the 2000 Wangaratta jazz festival where I, Scott Tinkler and James Greening were invited to expand Mark’s trio Open Loose into a sextet for two performances. Since those gigs I have stayed in touch with each of them, I go and hear them every chance I get when I’m in New York and a friendship has developed over the years that I will always cherish. Mark is an astonishing musician, he is not only one the most influential of modern improvising bass players in the world today, he is also an incredible composer. I got to hear the premier performance of his first symphony on my last trip to New York. Mark also produced the album and mixed it at his home. Gerald is again one of my favourite drummers in the world, he has a way of playing and you can hear it on the record, where he is so subtle but at the same at time immensely powerful and driving but always in a completely surprising way. Tell me what to expect for your Bangalow show – who are the players? For the launch party in Bangalow on Thursday, the fantastic Cameron Undy on bass and David Goodman on drums are coming up from Sydney. I did the launch with them in Sydney at the 505 with Mat Keegan on tenor sax. For this gig Zac Hurren will play tenor saxophone, he is another great saxophone player, married to the sublime Katie Noonan and member of the band Elixir. I am really excited about this gig and playing at home to the people I love in our community. Dave Ades and friends launch Glorious Uncertainty at the Bangalow Bowling Club on Thursday. Doors open at 7pm, show at 8pm. Tix are $15.

indoors; it’s not since Vietnam that so many feet have pounded pavements, so many fists raised in outrage. I was worried that this generation of children would grow up completely complicit with their government, with absolutely no experience of being anything except compliant little constituents just sucking it up. There’s nothing like a good dummy spit by the little people, sending a flesh-and-blood message to corporate captains that they are not welcome, that unless they heed the message sent by communities the people will be a thorn in their paw. If other communities around Australia join forces, if they become active in their dissent, then there’s more thorns for company paws. Like Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly sang in their song about Vincent Lingiari, From Little Things, Big Things Grow. So as long as we lock the gate (providing of course you have a gate – might have to pop down to Bunnings) realising at the same time that like in Zen, we are the gate. Keep CSG out.

really, and it occurred to me that our system just doesn’t work. We are experiencing the result of rampant unchecked capitalism.’ Ash doesn’t pretend to present answers; Trouble’s Door merely mirrors the modern twists and turns on the same old lesson never learned: a government’s willingness to trade the future for a dollar.

STRANGEST MAN IN TOWN Once touted as one of the strangest men in acoustic music by Spectrum magazine, fingerstyle guitarist Richard Gilewitz lives up to this depiction with his rousing performances filled with amazing chops, humour, and a history of the acoustic guitar from blues to folk, traditional to classical and somewhere in between. According to 20th Century Guitar magazine, ‘A powerhouse of eclectic guitar styles and genres, Gilewitz wears his influences well’. Richard welcomed the challenge of mastering and adapting many styles of music for the acoustic guitar – a trait that continually places him among a multitude of genres. Richard began honing his skills both as a performer and composer during the late 1970s, playing the local coffeehouse circuit while pursing degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Music. Soon the pull of his passion for performing and recording was so compelling that Richard left corporate life to teach and perform full time in a career that has propelled him across countless countries. Richard has now released seven LP recordings. Today, acknowledged as one of the unique and most humorous performers on the contemporary acoustic scene, he is respected worldwide for his command of the six- and 12-string guitar. He continues to work on his craft under the direction of classical guitarist David Walbert. Whether playing solo, conducting guitar seminars and school programs, or sharing the stage with fellow performers, Richard Gilewitz always creates a sparkle of mood mastery and wonderment.

REBECCA IRELAND What do you think is the quality that most defines you in the music market? Authenticity. Have you become the artist/s that you set out to be? The compulsion to make music is a beautifully violent force I can only surrender to. Art is a safer way to go mad. What did you set out to be? A good person that sings songs in the world.

GETTING SOME BUSINESS SAVVY One of the greatest challenges facing creative people is how to turn their passion into a business. Sure it’s great to be an artist, but if you don’t have any business ability you’ll probably fail. Look at poor old Van Gogh: now if he’d had access to a TAFE course or perhaps the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) course, then he could have had a very different life. He might have even kept his ears. They will be conducting Running Your Own Creative Business to Kingscliff (Thurs 24 May) and Lismore (Fri May 25).

s r a t S WITH LILITH

Venus isn’t in the mood for commitment this week, so don’t be caught short by people suddenly changing their minds – have backup plans in place…

E A RIES: When the winds of change blow, some build walls, others windmills. How about you? Uranus in Aries is tenderising us all in unexpected situations and circumstances, and as always you’re at the front line. This week it’s worthwhile considering the Zen proverb: Let go or be dragged… F T AURUS: You’ll engage with this week’s lush, indulgent dance like the passionate, earthy lover you are of the many pleasures our blue planet offers. And besides a wonderful wallow, the decisions you make this week will be soundly based, so make them while the force is with you. G G EMINI: While Venus retrograde in Gemini mightn’t give you what you want, it does usually nudge you, however unwillingly, towards what you need. Which this week is relationship considerations like reassessing and updating your changing needs and values. And occasionally swallowing your pride – at least it’s not fattening. H CANCER: To combat this week’s sobering global realities, tune into your own inner music. Don’t wait for invitations – change your mood and lift your spirits by taking the initiative and reaching out. All the love and support you want are available by expanding your capacity to recognise them.

Mungo’s Crossword

I L EO: You’ve been juggling so many obligations, responsibilities and pressures recently that this week could perform an emotional colonic to release accumulated steam when you least expect it. If you do let rip, then remember afterwards that an attitude of gratitude morphs what we have into more than enough. J V IRGO: This week’s sensible focus is simpatico with the Virgo viewpoint, though your no-nonsense approach mightn’t mesh with other people’s vague, indecisive attitudes. If you start feeling like you’re talking to a wall, stop explaining yourself and move on to more practical and productive plans. K L IBRA: Venus retro in Gemini intensifies the Libran dilemma of will I, should we, on the other hand… guaranteed to drive you out of your mind into your feelings, intuition and common sense. Frustrations, irritations and limitations aside, this week benefits by maintaining the health of your relationships. L S CORPIO: Tauran textures colour this week with sexy connections, differences of opinion and divided loyalties all the way from boardroom to bedroom. Think you’ve been explicit, but others heard something completely different? Scorpio John Cleese made this the basis for outrageous black comedy, and so can you… .

M S AGITTARIUS: While urges to move forward assert themselves, sensitivity and skill are needed when acting on them because this week voices plenty of dissent and disagreement. Fortunately these negative dimensions are balanced by positive social stimulation and precisely the kind of enthusiastic support you’re looking for. N C APRICORN: Yes, there’s money to make and people to impress, but also plenty of real life drama if relationships don’t get their necessary attention this week. Ditto relatives, neighbours, colleagues and those you deal with on a daily basis. A hard ask, but we’re all being asked it... O A QUARIUS: This week could bring the possibility of an old flame resurfacing – if that’s happening then do what you have to. If not, romantic indications are off the Richter for solo Aquirkyians. Or if you’re happy with your lot, then by all means have yourself another helping. P PISCES: You sometimes don’t know why you do what you do – difficult when others won’t tolerate hidden agendas. This week self-examination trumps explanations, and could make something you never knew about yourself blindingly apparent. Welcome to the human family, who’ll support your processing and understanding this insight.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm One of the most remarkable features of the $2.5m World Championship match between Viswanathan Anand and Boris Gelfand, which began in Moscow on Friday, is the venue. Anand and Gelfand are playing in the Tretyakov Gallery, the most important gallery of Russian art in the world. The venue was the choice of the sponsor, Andrei Filatov, a billioniare who went to university in Minsk with Gelfand and later made his fortune in the freight forwarding business. In a telephone interview before the match began, Filatov explained that he believes chess and art go perfectly together and that the match is as much promotion for his beloved Tretyakov Gallery as it is for chess. ‘I feel deep inside me the desire to promote Russian artists, who are unknown to the world… Nobody knows about Soviet impressionism but thanks to this match it is hoped that millions will learn about it. Chess is a tool to promote this great art.

‘Most of the great museums are government owned. If a chess competition is held in a museum and millions learn about the museum through the match, naturally the government becomes more interested in supporting chess,’ Filatov said. The businessman also tackled head-on the issue of whether his sponsorship and the venue will be an advantage for Gelfand. ‘There is no hiding the truth that Boris influenced my decision to become involved. Gelfand and I are old friends. But both Anand and Gelfand are great players and gentlemen and we will make sure that Mr Anand is treated fairly and with all the respect he deserves.’ Filatov admitted that his decision to sponsor the world title match was not based on commercial considerations. ‘I played chess but I didn’t have enough talent to be a professional. Though my dream was to play in a World Championship, I never thought one day I would sponsor one! I believe that this could be an incredible step forward for the development of museums and culture.’

‘A spirituality that is only private and self-absorbed, one devoid of an authentic political and social consciousness, does little to halt the suicidal juggernaut of history. On the other hand, an activism that is not purified by profound spiritual and psychological self-awareness and rooted in divine truth, wisdom, and compassion will only perpetuate the problem it is trying to solve, however righteous its intentions. When, however, the deepest and most grounded spiritual vision is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing political, economic, and social institutions, a holy force – the power of wisdom and love in action – is born. This force I define as Sacred Activism.’ Mullum Civic Hall on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and on Friday is joined by Shai Shriki for a night of music and dance.

The next show is happening in Uki Hall on Saturday with delicious food and beverages provided by Sri Govinda Dham. Doors open from 6.30pm. A feast for the stomach and the spirit! Just $10.

1. Nastassja Kinski stars as Mathilde in the French scifi film In Your Image (SBS2, Saturday, 9.30pm) based on the novel À ton image by Louise L Lambrichs. In order to put a painful past and a terrible sense of guilt behind her, a sterile young woman named Mathilde uses extreme cloning methods to give birth to Manon (Audrey DeWilder), and is comforted by her obstetrician husband Thomas (Christopher Lambert). The child’s growth is abnormally rapid and she becomes the splitting image of her mother. Gradually, the relation between them evolves in an odd manner as Manon takes over her mother’s role in the family. French scifi often deals with troubling themes – witness Francois Truffaut’s version of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 541. 2. Fans of the world game – yes, Gil Crespy, there is life beyond league – are in for a cracker with the UEFA Champions League Final (SBS2, Sunday, 9.30pm), the best clash between Britain and German since 1939. Chelsea take on Bayern Munich in a display of virtuosity which we hope will escape the doldrums of championship nerves. We suspect Bayern Munich will have the goods to overpower an injuryplagued Chelsea. What’s pleasing about the modern game is the rise of young stars out of Africa, displaying astonishing grace and speed.

fantastical mise en scène (Addams Family gothic), It was only a matter of time insert a handful of before cinema’s mostcelebrated ‘quirky’ director, Tim golden-oldie pop songs (from the Burton, got together with his early seventies) favourite actor, Johnny Depp, and sit back and and partner Helena Bonham Carter to skim off their share of wait for the cash the vampire genre’s seemingly registers to start ringing. Everything infinite bounty. The approach is ‘build it and they will come’ – works as planned; put Johnny in drag (Lord knows it’s just a pity that no attention was paid to the development he’s used to it by now), give of a halfway decent script – the him a cute make-up job, rope in another regular collaborator, prosaic title is an indicator of the thought given it. Or, to Colleen Atwood, to whip up put it bluntly – Burton has lost some fab costumes, create a

his mojo. Following on the unwatchable Sweeney Todd (2007) and the dreary Alice In Wonderland (2010), his latest movie is as flat as a floorboard, without any coherent or binding through-line. After being buried for two hundred years, the vampire with the Dickensian name of Barnabas Collins (Depp) has been disinterred and transported to America where his descendants in the fish-canning caper are being driven to financial ruin by the competition, run by the wronged witch (Eva Green) who originally condemned Barnabas to his fate. The wan girl whose love for Barnabas led her to suicide in the eighteenth century is there too, as both a ghost and the real-life nanny (?) of the little kid who is the nephew (I think) of Elizabeth (Michelle Pfeiffer), the current family matriarch. There is also a husband who contributes nothing and is written out of the story later on when his uselessness cannot be ignored, and a daughter, Chloë Grace Moretz of the sneering upper lip. Alice Cooper gets a start as himself, allowing Barnabas the best line of the turgid two hours – ‘that’s the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen’. ~ John Campbell

Headhunters This feel-good noir flick is a belter. Based on a novel by prolific Danish crime writer Jo Nesbø, director Morten Tyldum’s adaptation is white-knuckle gripping and at times grimly funny (you won’t forget the poo scene in a hurry). The ‘headhunter’ is Roger (Aksel Hennie), a suave corporate talent spotter in Oslo who is living beyond his means in an effort to keep his girlfriend Diana (Synnøve FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED

Macody Lund) in luxury. All Diana really wants is a baby, but to make ends meet he steals art on the side – the opening sequence is a brilliant and economical exposé of his MO. A story that might have developed along typically moralistic, sober lines quickly shifts into a more crazy and refreshingly bent gear when Roger contacts his off-sider Ove (Eivind Sander), who is otherwise engaged indulging in a shoot-out fantasy with a prostitute – in the nude. You realise then that anything might happen as events spiral feverishly out of control. The catalyst for the crisis comes in the form of Clas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), a handsome, ambitious exec who expects Roger to recommend him for a juicy CEO position with a hi-tech firm. When that doesn’t happen, Clas gets nasty. Roger is a bit of a cad, there is no getting away from it, but he becomes the victim when he lets his ego, suddenly poisoned by jealousy and self-doubt, blur his judgment. Some of the plot points are not entirely believable – Roger surviving the car wreck is, strictly speaking, beyond the pale – and it’s not without a few lashings of gore (I simply cannot look at the blade of a knife being gripped during a struggle). But Roger’s mounting travails – ‘the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ – result in his reacting to events rather than controlling them. As he is pushed ever closer to the edge, you can’t help being on-side with the little bloke (he makes an issue of his height). The rights have been sold to Hollywood, but try and catch it in its original form – it’s outstanding. ~ John Campbell

VICTORIA COSFORD

His secret is to caramelise the syrup before pouring it over the immensely buttery, spicy baklava, then at the very end flavour it with fresh local lemon juice and orange juice. It was the tray-loads of sticky, golden baklava that brought their creator to a recent book launch in Byron Bay, where I first met Ilias the Greek. Later – a cafe this time – and Ilias has just presented me with a sample of his cooking, a selection of confectionary resembling a casket of jewels, dusted in icing sugar, powdered with pistachios, bathed in honey, studded with seeds and nuts. And a story even sweeter, about a boy raised in a tiny Greek village called Kastoria, whose first experiences of food were informed by the family farm where everything was made by hand from the bounty grown there: wheat, chickens, honey. When he was six the family, including grandparents, moved to Australia – the Chernobyl disaster had just struck – the former settling in Adelaide and the latter in Coober Pedy. Ilias’s grandparents had heard that great wealth could be obtained via opal mining and became avid opal miners; at the age of 21 Ilias himself ‘got lured’ and went to join them. ’I thought opals, you can make millions, so off I went,’ he tells me, leaving behind a job as a mechanic and a taste for drag-racing. Coober Pedy, he says, is a ‘very dry masculine town. I moved in with my grandparents to give it a go. My first experience was 50-degree days working underground looking for the elusive stone.’ The saving grace were the enormous feasts he would come home to, served up by his grandmother who had spent all day in their preparation. ‘We’re in a desert but she had green lawn, capsicums, kale and spinach‌ she had an astronomical water bill.’ The food she cooked and the processes she employed were to remain with Ilias; he

Thai@Byron

stayed in Coober Pedy for nearly ten years during which time he began to teach himself to cook, gradually contributing his Greek dishes, to great acclaim, to a local restaurant where he was also working. A mining accident that left him in a coma changed his life significantly. When he emerged from it he began to assess his circumstances, values and direction. His sister suggested Byron Bay and yoga as part of his recovery process and so it was that, several years ago, Ilias arrived here. Initially he had considered becoming a yoga teacher but, largely thanks to the girl he soon met, decided to start recreating the food of his heritage, especially the sweetmeats. For a time he worked with David Tetu at L’Ultime, learning French techniques and recipes, but found that he wasn’t sufficiently expressing himself. So, in the region-honoured way, he worked the markets, gradually establishing a reputation and a base of regular customers whose feedback would further inspire ideas for the ongoing refinement of his shortbreads, his pastelli, his baklava, his biscotti. Most of it is gluten free; all of it contains the essence of his heritage, the influences of both mother and grandmother. At present he is supplying more than thirty cafes between Kingscliff and Lismore, apart from the markets, and does it all on his own. For someone turning out around 70 kilograms of baklava a week, this is nothing short of impressive. ’I’m busy,’ he tells me, ‘and I’m smiling through it’. Food education in the form of cooking classes is part of his future vision as well as extending his range. And I sense, when Ilias and I part ways with a warm Mediterranean hug, that here is a young and talented man on the cusp of great things. Ilias the Greek’s website is currently under construction; meanwhile, find him at the Byron, Bangalow, Lennox and Kingscliff markets – or his sweet treats at your local cafe.

Bangkok to the Cockatoos Jordan’s feet fit dad’s footsteps

Byron Bay’s Finn McElroy, who plays school union at Byron High, was last week selected for the 14s Country Rugby Union team, the Junior Cockatoos. At the Country Championships hosted at Ballina last weekend, Finn was representing the Far North Coast squad play-

ing at the number 8 position. The FNC under 14s coached by Ern Sandral did well in having four lads selected in the Country team. They will take part in training camps and matches and will be taking on City later in the year. Finn started his rugby career in Bangkok, then Bangalow

when he moved to Australia and now he plays for the Brunswick Valley Billygoats Finn, pictured with Billygoats coach Matt Perry and dad Brad, would love to play for Australia and says he looks up to players David Pocock and Christian Lealiifano. Photo Tree Faerie.

The Headlanders Bodyboard Club held their monthly contest at Broken Head on Sunday. It was beautiful autumn day, the surf was four to five feet on the sets with an offshore wind and a great day was had by all. Results from the day were: Cadets: 1 Nat Russell, 2 Liam

The BBC will hold the May club contest this Sunday and encourages all members to attend, with the great conditions of late we hope for a cracking day and have plenty of great prizes in all divisions. Meet by 7.30am at Bruns surfclub.

Ocean Shores ladies win big at district fours

On Saturday the Mullumbimby Moonshiners were given a lesson in cohesion and structure by a polished Bangalow side. During the first half Bangalow played some beautiful Rugby, starved the Shiners of possession and had the scoreboard looking ugly. They dominated the breakdown and moved the ball brilliantly. It was a mistake-riddled half for Mullum with dropped ball, penalties and kicks not finding touch. It could have been a cricket score if not for the Herculean efforts of Mullum skipper Teale Pyne. It seemed every second breakdown of play was initiated by the bloke in the number twelve pinning the ears back and launching a bone-jangling

Jordan won the Junior Queensland Championship in the unlimited division and David came third in the freestyle division. Jordan currently has a PB of 394 from a possible 400. Jordan has won all the Junior awards in his club Pacific Bow-

mans for the last two years. What is remarkable about Jordan’s achievement is that in this his first year as a junior, archers aged 13–17 years, Jordan beat competition mostly older than he is. Photo Tree Faerie.

tackle. As in previous weeks Mullum improved dramatically after the break, moving up faster on the Bangalow runners, securing more ball and landing some good pressure kicks. Speed machines Darcy Olsen and Ryan Cuthbert twice closed down line breaks with try-saving tackles. The backs

showed their potential with some nice ball movement across the park late but the final score told the tale. A 54–0 walloping. If there is any lesson to take out of this game it’s get your arse to training! The Shiners are home Brunswick Heads this Saturday (2pm kick off) taking on the Kyogle Cockies.

Brothers kicked off into a cloudless blue sky, Mullum watched the ball bounce over the dead-ball line and three tackles into the set of six after the drop-out the Papists’ fullback crossed untouched. After the shellacking they received at

the hands of the Red Devils last week, it was the worst possible start for the Giants. Would they drop their heads? An apprehensive crowd wondered.

Aaron Booth the scores were locked. In the next twenty minutes the visitors jumped away to 14–6 while the Giants floundered and fumbled and failed horribly to lock up the ball carrier. Time and again passes were slipped when the attacker should have been decked and, with the adjudications going against them, it came as something of a surprise when Booth threaded his way to the line through the Brothers’ pack after a scrum win ten out. The ref had been blowing his whistle like he was putting penalties away for his superannuation and, as the boy boys trudged to the sheds behind by 20–12, the PA’s scurrilous ‘could the referee please move his ute – it’s on fire’ was well received by the mob. (You’ve gotta love bush footy.) The Giants’ slack attention to detail was exemplified at the restart when, at the end of their first set, Marist’s harmless kick was gilded when Mullum’s fullback casually stuck out his hand to knock it on. It would have broken the forwards’ hearts. A mood swing came with 27 minutes to go. Mullum’s hookNTP’S – 5th: J Matthews 320cm, 9th: D Elkin 300cm, 12th: R Armstrong 420cm, 17th: R Stenner 208cm.

er, Grant Cooke, locked horns with Marist’s bigger number 8 (the Papists were a bigger side in general) and a bit of ginger crept into the mix. Brothers scored from the penalty, but the Giants were stirred and, significantly, their intensely loyal supporters started to find voice. It was, as they say, ‘on’. Winger Bill Thompson hung on to a long pass and dived over in the corner. Booth’s pinpoint conversion from the sideline brought it back to 26–18. Broth-

ers’ full-back, after pushing his luck earlier with a head-high, was binned and Booth, with spiders on him, crossed next to the uprights. 26–24. An unlikely win seemed possible and the mob was going berko. Marist Brothers hung on, but the home side’s heart almost got them there. They are now floundering at the bottom of the NRRRL ladder, but there’s a lot to like about the Giants. You get the feeling they won’t be there long.

Hockey under the spotlight

Mullumbimby hockey women’s D3 went down one–nil (a questionable goal) to Murwillumbah on turf and under lights on Saturday night at the Murwillumbah Hockey Complex. Having fielded only nine players, they fought valiantly and were unlucky not to have come away with a nil-all draw. Despite her best efforts, Mullum inner right Emma Dignan, pictured, was kept scoreless in the D3 match. D2, again with D3 women filling in straight after, fought hard but could not keep out the very strong and fresh Murwillumbah team going down 4–1. Mullum look forward to playing M’Bah again with a full and fresh team! Photo Tree Faerie.

Sweet Ginger does not have a mean bone in her body. She adores people, and the highlight of her long day is when a volunteer stops by to smooch with her. Being shy of other cats she stays in her cage waiting and waiting, day after day. Waiting to give the person who adopts her love and devotion - to be a happy cat. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

A rocky share market is bolstering Australian homeowners’ appetite for property investment, with one in four planning to purchase a second property, according to LJ Hooker Finance research. The research conducted by Galaxy Research*, on behalf of LJ Hooker Finance, found that 26 per cent of existing homeowners were currently looking to buy an investment or holiday property. L Janusz Hooker, deputy chairman of LJ Hooker, said over the last decade, Australians have been listed among the highest shareholders per capita globally. ‘Residential property is a traditional favourite amongst Australian investors due to

the long-term stability of the market, potential capital gains or opportunity to boost income through regular rent. ‘However the multiple doubledigit losses experienced by the share market in 2011 are driving a stronger interest in property investment. â€˜Data shows that over a 10 year period, property investment yields a higher after-tax return than shares^. Uncertainty in the share market is drawing Australians back to traditional investment options to ensure long-term results.’ Mr Hooker also notes the Australian Tax Office’s recent draft ruling on Self Managing Super Funds (SMSF) borrowing legislation may enable more Australians to use their super to purchase and maintain investment properties using a limited recourse borrowing arrangement.  â€˜Long-term success via residential property investment is dependent on the strategic choices made by the buyer who should always get independent advice. ‘To get the best results, investors should seek properties that are located in potential growth areas, that have low rental vacancy rates and to choose a property that doesn’t require major renovations or modifications for tenants.’  Mr Hooker cautions that property investors must consider their financial options very

carefully to ensure that their investment property repayments compliment their original home loan. ‘Our research has shown that 42 per cent of homeowners base their decision to choose a second mortgage on interest rates. ‘Investors tend to get excited about the idea of capital gains but forget to factor in additional expenses, taxes and how they will manage an additional mortgage.’ Mr Hooker advises potential property investors to speak to a mortgage broker so they can better understand their financial position and finance options. ‘A broker can walk you through options such as positive versus negative gearing, how to use

existing equity from your current loan and the best loan options for your financial situation. ‘Proper planning will minimise investment risk and maximise returns. A broker can advise you of your borrowing power and give you tailored advice.’ Key findings from the LJ Hooker research on property investment: t ĀĄ QFS DFOU PG IPNFPXOFST are considering investing in property. t 0G UIFTF ĀĆ QFS DFOU IBWF owned their current home for 3-5 years. t ĂĀ QFS DFOU SBUF JOUFSFTU SBUFT

Woolworths continues pimping local schoolchildren by getting them to collect dockets so that schools can ‘benefit’ from the largesse of the corporate dollar. It’s a shitty way to encourage consumerism but what would you expect from a corporation that also peddles gambling on a large scale? The more parents who protest about their children being used as runners for greed, the better. In related news the Transport Workers Union has been protesting outside Coles HQ against the deadline pressures placed on truckies by the big food retailers. The real problem however is consumers – if people bought their food and goods locally, there wouldn’t be the same number of frantic truck movements. Some long-distance consuming will still go on, of course, unless someone plans to open a toilet paper factory in Byron Shire. Q Q Q Q

The late and much-loved local iconoclast Rod Gibson is currently having his work appreciated in a retrospective at the Old Drill Hall. For a change, McDuck left his desktop and had a night out, recording his impressions of the retrospective on page 15.

In the lead-up to the council elections in September, the issue of amalgamation with another shire has once again been floated for Byron. No surprise there, but as we and other commentators have pointed out before, with our small rate base and fragile finances, who would want to have us?

It’s probably no great surprise that emergency services at the Mullum hospital are being scaled back as the health service plans a transition – and what a slow transition!

At the last council elections, no-one pulled in the votes like Jan Barham and Ross Tucker, with the Greens picking up 3,684 primaries and Tucker’s group 3,120. Other hopefuls

have got a long way to go to get near those figures and the race for mayor is likely to be between Tucker and the

We recorded in Echonetdaily (echonetdaily.net.au) details of the Pentagon course in which Army Lt Col Matthew Dooley suggested that the US might ultimately have to obliterate the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina without regard for civilian deaths, following World War II precedents of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima or the allied firebombing of Dresden. Fortunately an intelligent student objected and the course was dropped. It’s this sort of apocalyptic thinking by militarists and Christian and Islamic fundamentalists which makes the world a more dangerous place and a cash cow for weapons manufacturers. Meanwhile global warming rages on undiminished.
