Goonengerry leads with harmony

Candidates have made claims of fear and smear as local election campaigning draws to its September 8 climax.

A complaint over an electronic sign located on Ewingsdale Road has been lodged with Byron Shire’s election returning officer by Greens mayoral candidate Simon Richardson.

The sign, which reads ‘Greens Giveaway Our Pool’ was placed on private land associated with the Woods’ campaign, according to Cr Richardson.

Cr Richardson says, ‘Not only is the sign illegal under the electoral act [with] having no authorisation, but it contains a blatant untruth concerning the circumstances of the Byron pool which contravenes the rules for the content of election signage (you cannot tell lies).

‘This type of action is uncharacter- The hills were alive with the sound of harmony as 120 children from four different schools descended on istic of Councillor Woods and would Goonengerry Public for their belated Harmony Day celebrations.

It’s been confirmed a Gold Coast developer has now collected the last in the set of retail buildings in the south Woolies plaza after buying the Byron Woolworths site for $18 million dollars last Thursday.

And plans are already underway for a total redevelopment of the site, according to his commercial asset adviser and managing agent, Jamie Bourke from First National Commercial on the Gold Coast.

Robert Badalotti from Azzura Developments also owns the proposed Dan Murphy’s site and above it the Dendy cinemas, which announced last week it would be closing shortly. But there still remains hope for the presence of the movie theatre on the site.

Mr Bourke told The Echo he has already been approached by five separate cinema companies looking to take over the site in the Woolworths Plaza. ‘I am in negotiations with two theatre operators right now’, says Mr Bourke. ‘I have another three who continued on page 3

That review is tendering process.

The Echo reported on July 31 that the not expected for another few weeks.

However, Jayme Edwards’s attempts Byron Bay Surf School and elite surf Hans Lovejoy

for his surf school to stay afloat failed at last Thursday’s Council meeting.

Cr Simon Richardson’s motion to allow a temporary licence was voted down, which was the last chance the ten-year established surf school had to keep going. Mojosurf has now taken over the licence as of last Friday.

When The Echo asked what options Mr Edwards has, Council did not comment.

Currently there are only four commercial licences and two personalised

surf instructor spots available for operators to teach surfing in Byron Shire and additional licences can only be granted by the NSW state government.

The unsuccessful bid by Cr Richardson attempted to broaden the independent investigation, specifically to do ‘an appraisal into the appropriateness of the degree of specialisation of licence assessment panel members… the degree to which crossreferencing of tenders was conducted and recommendations as to what

would be a better methodology.’

Additionally it sought to change the licence fee criteria to be a set fee, based on market value, and be recategorised as ‘mandatory’.

Concerns from opposing councillors at the meeting was that it would muddy the review process already in action.

Later in the day, Cr Richardson acknowledged his motion was flawed.

During morning public access, Mr Edwards, Mr Foreman and fellow surf school operator Gary Morgan again addressed Council pleading for an interim licence to be issued so Mr Edwards could continue his business.

At one point mayor Jan Barham appeared agitated and cautioned both speaker and councillors, ‘that these matters are subject to ICAC guidelines’.

‘I am feeling uncomfortable because I am hearing things said that do not conform with the strict processes,’ she said, ‘And you’re making statements about the panel and their level of experience. This is very sensitive stuff; Council has been through issues like this before with ICAC… you need to be very careful…’

At another point, Cr Richardson asked if any of the surf school operators had been contacted or been asked questions by the independent investigators. They all replied, ‘No.’ It was then that Cr Barham said, ‘I’m going to call this to a halt. Council has gone through a process in accordance with the guidelines. There’s been concerns raised and that is not to be determined by a community poll… I am calling this one to an end. I’m freaking out ’cause we’ve been there before.

You do not mess with it.’

Steve Foreman then asked that his statement be heard, and Barham tried very hard to quell his attempts to speak.

After more yabber yabber by the mayor, Cr Ross Tucker said

that they should be allowed to speak, at which point everyone sighed in agreement.

It was decided that any statement or questions would be taken on notice, allowing councillors and staff not to comment.

Mr Foreman said the issue must be affecting Jayme ‘way more than me in physical, mental way and his wellbeing as a person needs to be addressed by Council and not put under the table by bureaucracy.’

He then spoke with perplexity as to why a veteran surfing coach with a succesful career should lose a position he helped to create.

Scope of review While the scope of the review (according to The Echo’s sources) is ‘limited to the process used to determine the successful tenderer for the commercial surf school activity,’ the review will not include ‘detailed assessment of Council’s existing procurement policy and procedures.’

That means the Byron Council-specific ‘gag-order’ will not be addressed, which attempts to prevent tenderers going to the media or even seeking advice as to why their tender was not successful. By contrast, NSW government guidelines state that councils ‘may’ choose to debrief unsuccessful tenderers on request.

It did add, however, that ‘Council’s preference is for the audit report to be made a public document,’ to be able to be responded to with any enquiries from external agencies as well as members of the public.

Scoring criteria According the scorecard marked ‘confidential’, scores for each tender submission clearly reveal scores being weighted in favour of the fee offered. What

is remarkable is that fee is the only criterion that applicants either score a ten or a zero; all other criteria have a median average score.

As for experience (which is 20% of total weighted scores), Byron Surf School and Mojo were close with 16.5 and 15.5 respectively.

Similarly, local knowledge (20%) was close at 14.8 and 13.8.

Additionally, Steve Foreman receives 11 out of 20 for this question but has been teaching surfing in the area for 32 years.

The rest of the scorecard shows Mr Edwards’s surf school edging out Mojo on experience in environmentally acceptable operations (10%), safety (10%), education (10%), experience in meeting licence conditions (10%), promotion of the reserve (5%).

Mr Edwards was only pipped

by Mojosurf with ‘compatibility with reserve purpose (5%) with 3.3 and 3.6 respectively.

It is apparent that if the fee is taken out of the equation, it distorts the final amounts.

With the licence fee, ie the amount offered (10%), Byron Surf School scored zero per cent with an offer of $4000 while Mojo scored the maximum of 10 with $13,750.

What is unclear is how a score of zero per cent can be awarded given an amount was

actually offered.

Mojosurf ’s Nathan Folkes told The Echo his business had no past compliance issues with regards to operating without a licence.

He said, ‘Our surf trips stopped in Byron after winding up the coast, so we didn’t hold lessons here before.’

Mr Folkes encouraged all parties to unify on the issue and take it to the state level. ‘Peviously we’ve worked with other operators in other regions to achieve outcomes.’

No comment Local Ballina MP Don Page was asked to comment but had not returned an answer as of going to press.

Previously, Mr Page said he was ‘not impressed with Council’s process and may intervene.’

Mayoral candidates Cr Basil Cameron and Cr Diane Woods were also asked to comment on the issue but had not returned an answer as of going to press.

Mr Edwards says his tender application was around 1500 pages, 340 pages of which was answering criteria questions.

He claims it took three weeks of work, including the Easter and Australia Day holidays.

‘They are making us look like fools in an industry that we helped to create,’ he says.

Northern Rivers Tourism closes Northern Rivers Tourism is to be incorporated into a new entity known as the North Coast Destination Network and has vacated its Bangalow offices.

The amalgamation with Mid North Coast Tourism to form the new entity is being driven by the report of the Visitor Economy Taskforce, which was critical of the effectiveness of regional tourism organisations.

The new network, which will

cover 15 local-government areas between Tweed Heads and Port Stephens, is to be headquartered in Coffs Harbour.

The NSW government has confirmed funding arrangements totalling $5.1m for regional tourism organisations, contingent on the restructure.

The North Coast Destination Network is intended to be formally constituted in October.

Byron Bay identity, Shirley Nelson, has won the National Volunteer Award at the Aged & Community Services Australia gala dinner on the Gold Coast Sunday night.

Shirley has been instrumental in advocating for better health services in the local region, first as the director of nursing at the local hospital and then as one of the driving forces who helped establish Feros Care, a not-for-profit aged care organisation.

Feros Care’s CEO Jennene Buckley said, ‘Shirley has been instrumental in the establishment and growth of Feros Care’.

‘Since that fateful day when she was approached by George Feros, Shirley has volunteered an enormous amount of hours to provide strong governance and participation.’

and we don’t need them, so we said “go away”. Dendy are just trying to save face in the town they are deserting.

‘We feel it is a real shame that the cinema is leaving, which is why we are going down the track firstly of seeing if we can replace that, but we are looking at other things as well. It may become hostel accommodation – that’s a possibility, it may become a medical centre… We are looking at varied opportunities that will get the best return for our client and the best mix for the town and that particular part of town.’

When The Echo spoke to Dendy’s manager Nick Hayes on Monday, he said that it was true that the cinema had been offered a reduced rent, an offer which they had not accepted.

Mr Hayes said it was the annual rent rise as part of the terms of the lease over a number of years that had caused

financial problems and made the business unviable.

Dan Murphy’s has signed a 27-year lease, Mr Bourke says, which may change as they are in discussions to make it longer. ‘Woolworths will have a whole new front and the older buildings at the back will also have a new roof as well as new shopfronts, awnings, roofs, paving, ceilings and lighting.

‘With the relining of the carpark, and landscaping, it will be like a new centre. Mr Badalotti will spare no expense. He will do what needs doing – if it’s excessive then he will pay if it needs it. The tenants that are currently there are staying and the other shops will be amalgamated and refurbished. We are in negotiations with some profile tenants for the vacant spaces, and we are looking for the right mix of tenants to complement that part of town and the centre.’

All candidates against CSG A public meeting is being called at Kohinur Hall on September 9 from 2pm to determine whether residents want coal-seam gas (CSG) wells on their property or not.

A proposed survey of surrounding roads, north of Sherrys Bridge and including the Durrumbul area, will be tabled.

‘Main Arm is the second area

in the Byron Shire to plan surveying of the roads,’ says coorganiser Maree Murfet.

‘In the Lismore and Nimbin areas, this process of surveying has already been undertaken.

They’ve been able to rightfully erect the GASFIELD FREE signs on each of their roads and presented their mayors with their declarations together with the democratic proof of all the signatures on the surveys. This

is what we plan to do here in Main Arm. She says along with the survey, a film about the effects of CSG in the northern rivers will be screened.‘Plans are underway in the Tweed and Ballina areas too. We hope our actions will inspire other areas in the Byron Shire to also undertake this process.

‘Let’s see what grassroots democracy can do.’ For more info phone Maree on 6684 5065.

A coal-seam gas briefing forum from Northern Rivers Lock the Gate showed unanimous support by candidates of the upcoming election on Sunday.

It was agreed that this is a regional issue and we must show a united front in order to have an impact on state government. Through NORAC and Rous Water, we can have a unified voice to protect our water.

Signs defaced Many political signs throughout the Shire have also been either defaced or taken down.

It is understood the Greens, Woods and Ibrahim candidates were mainly targeted.

‘It’s hurting our campaign when defacing the others,’ Cr Richardson told The Echo.

‘I was gutted when I found out. It’s so dumb. Let’s keep to respect and truth.’

When The Echo asked Cr Diane Woods to confirm whether she approved the sign saying ‘Greens Giveaway Our Pool’ she said, ‘Not interested in argy bargy, Sol or the Greens. Only interested in doing the job I am putting myself and team up for.’

But Chris Cubis, who is running on Diane Woods’s ticket,

did tell The Echo, ‘We do have full approval for the signs to be there; it was organised by the authorised land agent.’

Polarised political landscape And mayoral candidate Sol Ibrahim has also taken umbrage with the way some in the community have reacted to his campaign.

‘My team and I are being

overtly and covertly accused of being funded by ‘big business’, he told The Echo, ‘with the direct implication that our policies are not our own, and that in office, we will act deceptively and illegally by showing favour to our financial supporters’.

‘These allegations are insulting, and of course untrue.

‘This is part of a subtle fear campaign that is being waged to ensure a polarised political landscape. Another example

‘Similarly, despite the indisputable fact that we all rely on local businesses for our work, entertainment, and essential services, the words “business” and “development” have become virtually unspeakable in the context of the campaign.

‘It is ironic that we are all so sad to have lost our cinema, yet it was a “developer” who built it, and declining visitor and tourist numbers that probably contributed to the closure.

‘Fear and innuendo only serves as a distraction from the real problems facing our Shire.’

The Echo asks head candidates to reveal funding sources Hans Lovejoy

nity vision and values.

tics, but it’s still politics.

And it’s a question that some did not want to answer, which makes it all that more interesting.

From the outset it should be said that asking about financial backing of candidates was originally posed by outgoing Greens councillor Tom Tabart.

At a recent Suffolk Park meetthe-candidates meeting, it was reported from various sources that when he asked mayor hopeful Diane Woods to reveal who is funding her campaign, she said she didn’t know names but it was ‘around 80 people.’

To be fair to every candidate, The Echo has asked all lead candidates if they are prepared to say who advises and/ or funds them.

Mayoral candidate Morgan has not been asked as she has not spent funds on advertising, Another mayor hopeful, Jack Sugarman, did not respond by the time of going to press.

We have a budget from the local group, which was topped up by funds from the Bob Brown gig and proceeds from a raffle and merchandise.

Our campaign account is managed by a qualified practising accountant. We will comply with the letter of the law in relation to the acceptance and disclosure of campaign contributions.

As you know, the law does not permit donations from companies. Most of our supporters have no interest in becoming involved in politics, but they are fed up with watching the mismanagement of their shire. They have donated to us on the understanding that their privacy will be respected.

Perhaps the problem for some of the other candidates is their unwillingness to accept the level of dissatisfaction there is with the majority voting bloc in our current council.

Eureka Public School’s 125th Byron Bay pool debacle

means uncertain future Hans Lovejoy

The Noble family one of the first white settlers in the Eureka area, and young Solomon Noble is enrolling in kindy next year.

To his left, ninety-four-yearold Lillian is the oldest-known surviving past student.

An incredibly significant milestone in the school’s history will be celebrated on Saturday September 15 as the 125th Gala Day is held from 10am until 4pm, with official speeches at 11am.

The day will feature, wandering minstrels, student performances, food stalls, side -show alley for the younger children, tug-o-war, gumboot throwing, broom throwing, egg-and-spoon races, boil-the billy competition and memorabilia displays.

A very special event on the day will be the digging up of the Centenary Time Capsule and burying a 125-year time capsule.

Pressure is mounting on Greens mayoral candidate Simon Richardson to explain his previous vote that, according to fellow mayoral candidate Diane Woods, led to a failed land-swap deal with the state government and puts the Byron pool’s future in doubt.

A proposal that favours the state government looks to go ahead after last Thursday’s meeting, which will split the pool and land that the Fishheads restaurant operates on.

In the current arrangement, Fishheads’s rent currently contributes to the pool’s running costs, which Cr Woods says this financial year will be $316,000.

‘While the land that the restaurant is located on is entirely Crown land,’ she says. ‘The council manages the site on behalf of the Crown and collects rent from the business, which in FY 2012 was $206,000.’

Belongil stabilisation works sought Land swap deal Byron Shire Council is asking minister Don Page for funding and the deadline for completion of all works for beach stabilisation works at Manfred Street, Belongil.

Proposed works on the geobag wall structure at the site would be undertaken later

in the year and next, if approved.

The motion by Crs Woods and Cameron last Thursday will be funded from works in 2011/12 at Don and Border Streets ($191,300) and $264,000 allocated from the capital reserve fund.

She says Council’s loss of rent revenue while taking over the management of the pool, which already runs at a loss, will add enormous pressure to Council’s already stretched budget.

‘Over the course of several years, land swap deals between the council, Crown Lands and

the Department of Local Government have been attempted in order to ultimately provide the council with total control of the all of this land; however, motions made by Greens councillors Simon Richardson and Tom Tabart in 2010 ended the chances of this happening.’

Cr Woods claims that separating the land is going to cost the council in the region of $300,000. ‘The four-year cumulative loss to council from July 2013 is expected to be $1,133,200.’

Cr Richardson conceded to The Echo that Council won’t be able to get away with not splitting the pool and the land that Fishheads is on. ‘I agree the pool could be in dire financial straits,’ he said, ‘And options to keep it operating include grants and increasing costs.’

Outgoing mayor Jan Barham told The Echo, ‘The land swap issue was tied to the Brunswick Caravan Park lands which made it a complicated process that sought to take away important public assets of council and create unacceptable impacts at Brunswick Heads and remove the ability for council to derive some financial gain from land that it manages [such as] to assist with infrastructure management of the pool. It was a contentious issue back in the 1980s and still is.’

Candidates vying for a Byron Shire Council position had their chance to impress the Byron business community last Wednesday morning at the newly renovated Beach Cafe, which overlooks the picturesque Pass beach.

Organised by Byron’s business chamber, Byron United (BU), rhetoric was thankfully kept to a reasonable minimum but it didn’t stop sparks flying over many contentious issues.

Former BU president Ed Ahern introduced candidates and told the crowd that what has previously been lacking by Council was engagement with the business community.

Appreciation and recognition was, however, acknowledged to those seeking a council position, given the difficulty of the job.

Mayoral candidate Basil Cameron from Our Sustainable Future was first up.

After coming to the area in 1987, Cr Cameron explained that he attended the first BayFM meeting and immediately became involved with the community. He also spruiked his business background, with a history in event management, which he said turned a modest profit.

In what was to be a common theme among councillors throughout the meeting, he promised for ‘Council to work better together’.

Audience member Terry Ahern enquired about Cr Cameron’s holiday-letting stance, particularly in rural zones.

‘I see no distinction between rural and other zones,’ Cameron said, while adding he supports low-impact rural tourism. He also admitted many maps used for the draft LEP were possibly incorrect and would need fixing.

‘I asked [Council] staff to help me on developing a graffiti action plan but they said no.’ – Cr Diane Woods But it was Bluesfest director Peter Noble who gave challenge to Cr Cameron’s record on the recent events policy, which provided the most heated debate of the day.

Charcoal Cameron Recently dismissed by the state government, Council’s events policy was an attempt to limit the number of large-scale events in the shire. In what was a clearly awkward exchange, Mr Noble harangued Cr Cameron over consultation and the policy’s legal validity.

‘I provided almost 2000 local signatures against the events policy for the last time it was debated in council,’ Mr Noble said. ‘You know what? It was never debated. How do you feel about it? Is that community consultation?

‘You were provided with barrister’s advice on two occasions in which you were told it was illegal and the NSW department of planning backed that up saying it wasn’t in the community interest. You didn’t even debate that in Council.

‘You took part in a televised interview and said you didn’t agree with the NSW government’s decision… you are a solicitor aren’t you? You had that barrister’s advice and never debated it in Council… Do you think you acted properly?’

Cr Cameron responded, ‘On the matter of consultation, you know very well there was extensive consultation on the policy. I sat in many meetings with you and the whole arts community. You asked what came out of the meeting and whether it influenced change.

It did influence change. There

<echowebsection=Local News>

was a second draft of the events policy which took on board many of the points raised.

‘On the question of legal advice, councillors get a lot of legal advice. I am able to apply my own knowledge and skills to looking at these issues as well. But I have to say, Peter, that if Council took on board all the opinions of all proponents we’d be in deep trouble.

Legal advice is just that: legal opinion.’

Not giving up, Mr Noble continued with another line of attack. ‘When you ran in 2008, you said you supported the arts and consultation. I put it to you that you haven’t. You say that you have been part of major events of regional significance.

‘You’ve never named them, and have been asked for years.’

After more accusations, including ‘Will you do better this time? ’Cause I reckon your record last time stinks,’ Cameron said, ‘I am always happy to hear opinions that differ.’

‘This is what this is all about, and I believe I have had very good consultation with the events industry and the creative industry, and many, many others.

‘And I’m very proud of the role I’ve played on the Tourism Advisory Committee.

‘We have done things that did not happen in 20 years.

That is massive consultation.

For 20 years we had great antagonism and very little support from the community.

‘What I’ve been working to do is find consensus on these issues, and that’s exactly what we’ve done. If we went back four years, we didn’t have anything like this and now we’ve changed this around.’

Kolbe kebabs The next candidate hopeful, Karin Kolbe, called for more diversity in our economy, despite admitting tourism being the mainstay. Touching on the recent decision by Dendy Cinemas to close, she said, ‘Big-release films may have had their day. We have to look at new economic models.’

Again Terry Ahern asked a question, this time on coastal management. Kolbe said, ‘Long term, we cannot hold back the oceans. It’s not feasible to protect the entire coastline.

‘Sand mining made it worse.

Anybody who bought in Belongil since 1980 knows there was a retreat policy.’

But holiday-letting president John Gudgeon said that Belongil should have protection.

‘There’s a lot of technology out there which can be plugged into,’ Despite being pushed on the topic, Kolbe

said she would not build a wall to protect Belongil.

Next was newcomer Sol Ibrahim, who was popular with the crowd. He advocated ‘quality tourism’, which includes families and the like.

As for Council’s ongoing court cases, he said, ‘If you fight people, they will just fight back’.

But perhaps the most interesting moment of the morning was when independent candidate Morgan spoke.

On the issue of beach erosion, she said to stunned and silent crowd, ‘You have to take responsibility for yourself.

‘Buying a property on a sand dune is your own problem. No bullying from high-priced lawyers should influence Council.’

She went on to claim she had won legal battles against the state government.

‘It cost $50,000 for the state, whereas it only cost me $100.

‘I know law. You would be getting a bargain with me as mayor.’

Richardson rib glaze After that, Greens’ Simon Richardson may have had a tough crowd but extended his schoolteacher philosophy, saying he was ‘Happy to say yes, but also prepared to say no’.

When asked about his voting records and his Greens alliance, he said, ‘No-one tells me how to vote. Diane Woods voted with Cr Ross Tucker 95 per cent of the time and I invite you to look at my record.

‘As for compliance on holiday letting, yes I will support action. You may say it’s legal but I don’t. Let’s find out.’

Cr Richardson also pointed to a 12 per cent population drop in previous years and advocated an increase in bed-andbreakfast accommodation.

Smoked Spooner Community Independents lead candidate Paul Spooner was next, and spoke with passion on his reason for calling Byron his home. He invited the audience to look at his record as manager of the Community Centre and his work with the Byron Youth Service.

Finally Diane Woods played to the party faithful with a call for a graffiti action plan.

‘I asked [Council] staff to help me on developing a plan but they said no,’ she said.

This eventually led to a question from the owners of the Byron Entertainment Centre, who asked about staff and the general manager.

‘The GM appeared to have worked against council,’ they said. ‘Secret meetings were held about our case. How will you work with that?’

Woods said that they were not the only ones who had problems with DAs. ‘There is a problem but we will find a way,’ she said. www.echo.net.au

Lionism celebrates 6o

Current president Ray Linabury with founding members Ray Phippard and Noel James at the gala celebrations on Saturday within the local community, Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Australia embraced Lionism in 1947 and in 1952 the Brunswick Mullumbimby club became the fifth club in the country and were granted the charter on October 1.

Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 208 countries who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.

Known for working to end preventable blindness, Lions participate in a vast variety of projects important to their communities.

The local chapter grew from small beginnings when the club met after hours at the Brunswick Heads Hotel and has since then donated countless hours and fundraised dollars helping those in need

the wider community and the global community – not to mention manning the driver reviver caravan.

This year the Brunswick Mullumbimby club reached its 60th birthday and members celebrated in style on the weekend.

Lions from far and wide gathered at the Ocean Shores Country Club to celebrate the milestone anniversary of the club.

Past District Governor (PDG) Ray Phippard, who was a charter member of the club and Lion of almost 60 years, along with Noel James, both spoke about the early days of the club and cut a celebratory cake, and toasts and speeches were delivered.

The Lions club is always open to new members. For more information about joining a Lions club, visit their website: www.lionsclubs.org.au.

Local Preference Policy promised

by Community Independents The first policy that Paul Spooner for the Community Independents (Group B) say they would table in the new council is a local preference policy (LPP) that would support local businesses and market stallholders.

Mr Spooner said, ‘Many local people are confused by the fact that Council is not supporting local businesses and market stallholders. We have recently seen local surf school operators forced out of business by the Council licensing system. We have also seen the threat to the livelihoods of market stallholders threatened by the draft market policy proposed by mayoral hopeful Basil Cameron in this term of Council.

He claims a local preference policy would cover council licences, leases and purchasing of goods and services. Currently, there is no obligation on Council to buy locally where possible and if all things are equal.

Mr Spooner says, ‘With more and more local businesses struggling to keep trading in a tough economic environment it is only sensible that we support ratepayer money to stay in the local economy. More vibrant local businesses means more jobs for local young people.

‘The Council should be supporting local people, not hindering them, or worse, taking away the businesses they have

World Suicide Prevention Day walk

built up with many years of hard work.’ He says, if elected he will work to ensure the Council immediately adopts a Local Preference Policy that supports and encourages local business owners and market stallholders.

Mayoral candidate Basil Cameron was asked to respond but did not by the time of going to press.

Coinciding with World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10, 2012, Australians will gather around the country to participate in Lifeline’s Out of the Shadows walks.

Working with local partners, Lifeline Northern Rivers have organised an Out of the Shadows walk at 5pm on Monday September 10.

The walk commences from Byron Bay Peace Pole, Byron

Bay. Everyone is encouraged to bring flowers and candles.

Speakers from Lifeline will address the crowd, and a walk along the beachfront will follow with flowers placed in the ocean with a moment of silence.

unheard-of breaches of convention by appointing non-Labor replacements to take the seats of deceased Labor senators.

Thus the politics which allowed Malcolm Fraser to bring the deadlock about were irrevocably tainted from the start, a fact which Kerr should have taken into consideration.

The trigger Fraser used to force the situation was Whitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacking of a second senior minister, Rex Connor, for the

doubt it was the dominant belief on both sides of politics at the time. Kerr, at the very least, was guilty of premature ejection.

As we now know, he was encouraged by the chief justice, Sir Garfield Barwick, who breached the very important doctrine of the separation of powers by taking a partisan role. Whitlam had already refused Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to seek Barwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion; Whitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view was that the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative must rely on the

by Mungo MacCallum high crime of having misled the parliament; Jim Cairns had already gone. Fraser described this as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;an extraordinary and reprehensible circumstanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; extraordinary, certainly, but reprehensible? Looked at another way Whitlam was enforcing the highest parliamentary standards, when it would have been both simpler and more expedient to brazen it out.

Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision was itself another monumental breach of convention, a fact which caused considerable angst within sections of his own party, including a small but vital number of the senators needed to implement his edict.

This became crucial as time went on and the crisis deepened.

Kerr later claimed that his hand was forced by the timetable: to get a general election before Christmas he had to act when he did. But the feeling around Parliament House as the fateful Remembrance Day drew near was that some of those senators were about to crack. This has since been denied, to my mind unconvincingly; but there is no

credit for resolving it. As it was, they knew Whitlam must have done something terrible, even if they could not say what it was.

Otherwise, why would Kerr have sacked him?

But Kerr ignored Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice and ambushed Whitlam with his famous king hit. In retrospect, it is clear that what really mattered to him was not ending the standoff, but asserting his dominance over the prime minister who had appointed him to the job. Whitlam, stunned, returned to the Lodge and ate a large steak. By the time he got back to parliament house and started organising, supply had been passed and the election called. It was, Fraser declared, all over.

But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t; not quite. Kerr had not got around to proroguing parliament so the house was still sitting. It quickly passed a motion of no-confidence in Fraser and ordered the speaker, Gordon Scholes, to tell Kerr to recommission Whitlam as prime minister. But Kerr, on Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice, refused to receive to the speaker and shut the parliament down.

Of all the breaches of convention, this was the gravest and most profound. In the Australian system parliament is supreme; while it is sitting it is master of its own destiny. Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summary rejection of its resolution was unprecedented and unjustifiable. It was effectively a reassertion of the divine right of kings, a throwback to a tyranny which ended with the execution of King Charles I. But in the upheavals of the times, it went unremarked and uncorrected.

There is much about the Dismissal that remains unfinished business, which is why it is still memorable and still relevant.

advice of his ministers, the essence of the Westminster tradition of constitutional rule. This immediately opened another door for Kerr: he could have summoned Fraser and told him that he was bound by Whitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice, so the only solution was for Fraser to back down.

But Kerr as we now know, ignored Whitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instruction and went not only to Barwick, a sworn political and personal enemy to Whitlam, but also to Mason, then believed to be apolitical. Mason also breached convention by offering Kerr advice and even preparing a document of dismissal, which Kerr ended up not using; but he says he took a more neutral stance by telling Kerr he should at least warn Whitlam of his thinking and give him a last chance to call an election himself, as prime minister. If Whitlam had done so, he would not only have avoided the obloquy of dismissal but would have regained the high ground: the polls showed Q See Mungo live at that a majority of voters blamed Fraser for bringing on the crisis www.echonetdaily.net.au and would have given Whitlam

The sad demise of a local cinema Imagine a town like Byron Bay without a multiplex cinema?

A town with lots of young people, holidaymakers, film lovers, opera lovers, film festival-goers, and organisations like Screenworks which present premiere screenings of Australian films with guest speakers.

Dendy Byron is a vital part of our community, an employer of lots of young people, provider of a safe entertainment environment, a great partner and probably the only place where audiences can always have a good time without alcohol being involved. ‘So they pulled down Dendy and put up a bottle shop…’ (apologies to Joni). The question is, should we just sit back and accept this decision?

I have been paying rates to Byron Shire Council for 21 years.

With the withdrawal of the roadside cleanup service I am curious to know if I can expect a refund for a service I no longer need to fund.

And if the landlord contributed to Dendy’s closure through rent rises, what on earth does the landlord, whoever that might be, expect the purpose-built, dark, cavernous spaces of the complex to be used for if not cinema? Bulk liquor storage springs to mind.

Is Woolworths connected directly or indirectly, via complex corporate structures or cosy backroom/boardroom deals, to the Dendy head office itself, forcing the decision?

Surely not.

Guess I’m just getting very cynical in my old age but this is one local who is not just sad that Dendy is closing but furious that it is closing amid the controversial issues currently connected to both that site and to the broader concerns about the direction Byron is heading.

We need refuge for these refugees right now – today. In this north coast climate having people living in tents would be a big step up from the conditions that many homeless are living in.

Radical times need radical solutions. For decades Australians have looked forward to ‘going camping’ for their holidays. It would be cheap and easy to design and provide facilities that give comfort and security for our ‘onshore refugees’ as well as education, entertainment and social skills.

I would vote for councillors who would consider turning sacred cows into tastier hamburgers. We do not need to

LHPA issues I am seeking persons affected

by Livestock Health & Pest Authority claims on their land.

This recently created body, created from dividing the Lands Department, taxes landholders with whom they have no

contract. Their record with respect to pest control is abysmal. Moreover they tax landholders with no stock, busy regenerating bushland in steep areas. They sell ‘debts’ on to third parties, which is not legal, and harass landholders with compounding interest claims.

Over-regulation for small business, under for large!

Under fee simple title, constitutional law states: landowners control land, above (and below) and cannot be told not to erect buildings, cut trees, or not to run stock. The fraudulent misrepresentation of various semi-governmental organisations extorting pay-

ments must stop. It is tough enough maintaining and improving land!

the impacts of ionising radiation (‘Our uranium “is killing the planet’”, Echo, August 28).

She has been widely discredited by many experts on such matters.

Her reported comment that over a million people died in the 25 years after the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl is refuted by a 2005 report from the World Health Organisation (WHO), attributing only 43 human deaths directly to the Chernobyl disaster with an estimated additional 4,000 possibly fatal cancers.

Unless you want to believe that the WHO is involved in a conspiratorial coverup, you

Cruel policies I was in high school in 2001 when the SIEV X sank in Australian waters, resulting in the tragic drowning of 353 refugees.

I recall a sense of both outrage and despair as our prime minister at the time, John Howard, promoted cruel policies that conflated our humanitarian responsibility with his ‘border protection’ rhetoric.

It’s now 2012 and the federal Labor government has re-introduced Howard-era policies that undermine Australia’s status as a fair and decent nation. Yet again, we are about to indefinitely detain some of the world’s most vulnerable people in offshore prison camps on Nauru and PNG, costing taxpayers billions of dollars.

This disgraceful approach denies desperate people their basic human rights and will see the re-opening of the mentalillness factories of the Howard era where children were separated from their parents and suicides and self-harm were all too common.

Punishing refugees does not work. Australia needs to adopt a proven regional solution that prevents deaths at sea and provides refugees a safer pathway to resettlement, like our country did after the Vietnam War. This approach is supported by former PM Malcolm Fraser, law academics, the Refugee Council of Australia and Amnesty International.

What the federal government has introduced is inhumane and ineffective. It’s a short-term political fix designed to bolster votes in marginal electorates.

In my mind, Australia is still a fair and compassionate country where we look after the most vulnerable in our community. I ask Justine Elliot, our local voice in the federal parliament, to stand up for vulnerable people, rather than adopt approaches that punish desperate people fleeing trauma and torture.

What the punters think of the council candidates For the last 13 years I have served the community on council and I thank you for that honour. It has been a great privilege and I have been enriched by the experience, especially the opportunity to get to know so much about our wonderful shire and the community. It has not been without its challenges. When I was elected we had a huge debt of $7m and for seven years we struggled against the threats of amalgamation and dismissal but we got through it. I’ve done my best and with dedicated councillors we have balanced the needs of a diverse community, despite many difficulties including the state government’s control of the activities of local government.

Now I feel proud that there is a strong mayoral candidate in Simon Richardson supported by a great Greens team who are committed to serving the shire.

I hope that on election day the voters consider the important issues for our shire’s future – and again place their trust in people who understand and care about the biodiversity, the needs of the community and a balanced approach to development to protect the shire we love.

mystery surrounding the money behind the Woods/ Ibrahim campaign deepens.

At the Suffolk Park meet the candidate Diane Woods revealed that she was funded by 80 benefactors known only to her husband. Sol Ibrahim has avoided the funding question whenever asked. Both campaigns share a Gold Coast PR firm and printer; both are lavishly financed.

Important issues of probity are raised by this situation: If the donors are unknown to Woods, how can she be sure that money is not coming from sources, such as the Belongil interests, who are in legal conflict with council and calling

for its dismissal?

In order to avoid conflicts of interest it is incumbent on candidates to know and reveal who is funding them otherwise they can be compromised if elected.

As official disclosure of donations is not made until well after the election, how are voters to know who they are really supporting if the candidates don’t tell them?

For the record, the Greens have received less than $300 in donations and are otherwise completely funded by Richmond federal election per-vote money and local fundraisers.

No money comes from wider party sources.

I am now aware of one Byron candidate who feels CSG mining in our area is good for bringing jobs to town!

the state government takes the problem on or until the federal government finds a way to fund councils directly, which is currently underway. No matter who you vote for in the coming council election they will have no way of funding the serious amount of investment required.

The real danger for our community is that an angry voter reaction on this issue will lead to the election of extreme pro development candidates and we suddenly find ourselves contending with Gold Coast or Tweed Heads type mega development, the very thing that our ‘dare to be different’ council representatives have protected us from for the past 20 years.

Having observed the voting patterns of Cr Woods and Cr Cameron and listened to candidate Ibrahim, it is clear they sincerely believe increasing the level of development is the most effective way of solving Byron Shire’s problems. At a time when the state government is about to completely rewrite the planning laws councillors with these inclinations will not protect us from over-development or mega-developments even bigger than the 900 lots proposed for Belongil Fields.

I’d thought that Group D, the Vision In Action people led by Sol Ibrahim (whoever the fuck he might be), were put up as a stalking horse to funnel votes back to Di Woods, but maybe the business people of the shire are actually a little embarrassed at Di’s crew and want to put up a rightwing group that’s not stuck in the 1950s.

If you’re tempted by anyone in this group at least vote above the line, ie don’t follow their preference card or you’ll end up giving your vote to the hillbillies.

Because the progressive vote for mayor will be split between Basil Cameron and Simon Richardson, it may be that Di Woods will get a bigger primary vote than either of them. She isn’t allocating any preferences, meaning that the rednecks see Basil and Simon as equally unacceptable.

Basil’s estimation of himself as the most intelligent of the councillors is correct, but in politics it’s instinct, grit and working towards an identifiable ideal that counts. He’s certainly been out there working hard at a retail level to connect with the punters but behind

date and flows down the line, effectively giving the winning mayor an extra councillor. This in turn helps dictate the political complexion of the entire council.

Is it wise to vote for an untested mayoral candidate? Remember mayor Tom Wilson who changed his stripes post election. There is the same unknown factor with Sol Ibrahim.

I’ve never heard of him. Has he undertaken any communitybased campaigns? Simon Richardson, Basil Cameron and Di Woods are keen to serve. Beyond the ‘vote for me’ rhetoric, what do they stand for?

Simon Richardson, like The Greens as a group, is here for keeps and for those disparaging of party politics locally, at least we are up front about it. Simon is strong enough to stand up to the bullies both local and state.

For mayor I recommend Simon then Basil. For councilFast Buck$ lors I support Greens with SiCoorabell mon Richardson leading, Paul Spooner, Karin Kolbe and Basil Q Having been a perennial Cameron in that order.

the scenes he has participated in changing the way council works so that the process favours the general manager’s power at the expense of the elected.

Which leaves us with Simon Richardson, the ‘least worst’ choice in my view – by which I mean that he’s not exactly an inspiring natural leader, but has a heart which is in the right place and is much more prepared to listen than is Basil.

There is an urgent need to clean out the stables and I think the Greens are more likely to sympathise with that aim than Basil.

Oh yes, there is Morgan, who has taken a tough stance against the Greens over their copout on the issue of street camping, but after the Tom Wilson experience I doubt if anyone will again vote in as mayor a person who hasn’t first strutted his/her stuff as a councillor, however promising.

<echowebsection=Articles>

Shire has ever had. Under her administration Byron Shire Council became a malignant force in our community.

Ms Barham and her backers on council launched vendettas against sections of the community and consistently attacked anything that might bring visitors to the Shire.

The resulting publicity in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne drove Australian family holidaymakers away. As a result, Byron Bay has become a seedy, downmarket backpacker resort. Shops catering to grown-ups have disappeared and employment opportunities for our young people have crumbled.

Ms Barham’s time in Council has been chaotic and ineffectual and the result has been disastrous for the Council, residents and ratepayers. While the roads and other Shire infrastructure crumbled, millions of $$$ have been spent lining the pockets of lawyers at no benefit to the people of Byron Shire.

Now attached to the public teat in the NSW Legislative Council, Jan Barham will bring her special brand of public administration to a wider public.

We were just another stepping stone on the road to Green fame.

Typical of the waffle generated by some letter writers was the attempt in last week’s Echo to give Ms Barham credit for ‘new safer highways with award-winning fauna over-

passes’. Huh? Since when has Byron Shire Council had anything to do with the Pacific Highway?

Annette Evans

Mullumbimby Q The Greens ask us to vote for them in the forthcoming Council election. What an unbelievable hide!

This is the group that has devastated Byron Shire, sent the council close to bankruptcy, pushed agendas that had nothing to do with local government, and ruined Byron Bay with their campaign against visitors and local businesses.

On Council, the Green team were notable for their ineptitude, the campaign against Woolworths being just one of a number of dismal failures.

When the road and walkway to Wategos and the lighthouse fell down it took six years to fix it.

When an issue came up, they’d call for a report. Bang! another $20,000 worth of puffery to toss in a file.

Typical of their utter disregard of the values of ordinary Australians is the requirement in the draft LEP for farmers to submit development applications in order to use their land.

It’s time for a sea-change on Byron Shire Council. We need people on council who are not pushing political agendas and are prepared to put the interests of the people of the Shire

Fresh news every day!

Once more into the boothsâ&#x20AC;Ś erences, but they are employing the same Gold Coast firm to do their publicity.

Woods herself is of course the candidate for Byron United (the chamber of commerce), the Ross Tucker protĂŠgĂŠ and substitute, as is clear from her fulsome (in the correct sense of the word) coverage in the Harold Ross Tucker rag, the Saturday Star. And then there is the wildly ambitious Basil Cameron, promising everything to everybody; no-one who witnessed his twists, turns and flip-flops at the public meeting on the market tenders would regard him as an even halfway safe bet.

So it has to be Richardson 1, with Ibrahim and Woods 5 and 6 and the others wherever you like in the middle. But however you vote, DO NUMBER EVERY SQUARE. Allowing your vote to exhaust itself just might let the baddies in.

You then have to pick eight councillors out of the 29 candidates, but again, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just number your favourites down to eight and stop there.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling lazy, you can vote above the line, 1 to 6, in which case put the Woods and Ibrahim teams (Groups A and D) 5 and 6, and be a bit wary of Group F; it is supported by the old warhorse Hugh Ermacora, who at least means well, but is basically designed as a cheer squad for Basil Cameron. Groups B,C and E should probably share your 1, 2 and 3 votes.

But you can get more bang for your buck by leaving the squares above the line blank and using every number from 1 to 29 to cherry-pick your choices below the line. Obviously you should put the Woods and Ibrahim teams at the bottom of the list and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel sorry for them; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get plenty of support from the well-heeled business community. Diane Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lavish poster campaign has already made that abundantly clear.

It would probably be sensible to look for a bit of experience in your top eight: Richardson, of course, and perhaps Duncan Dey from the Greens. Jim

Beatson takes himself a bit seriously at times but has form as a community worker. And the same can be said about Paul Spooner, Mandy Hallinan, Bill Mackay and Karin Kolbe, if the latter can be weaned from her obsession with trains. Rhonda Khong looks like a good younger voice.

Apart from that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a lottery. Woods and Cameron will almost certainly be re-elected, with at least one, possibly two more from the business ticket so it is essential to get as many passionately community-minded people up as possible. And once again: NUMBER EVERY SQUARE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; EITHER ABOVE OR BELOW THE LINE BUT NOT BOTH. It may be tiresome but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way to make sure your vote counts.

And remember: we have to win every time. If they win just once, they can bugger up the place forever. So: stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood. Then imitate the action of the tiger! Anyway, you get the point.

Byron Basilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record as a councillor United said they would remain (see www.facebook.com/basi- apolitical so as not to divide losf), his advocacy for National the community, but in the next

sentence slammed the current council. Hey, that council did pull us out of $7 mill debt and that must go to their credit.

Sure there have been expensive legal actions, but much of that has been instigated by the Belongil landholders.

Where is the money coming from that is backing not only Diane Woods (who always voted with Ross Tucker) but also Sol Ibrahim? Could there be a bit of Tea Party entering Byron! Sol sounds like he has good values to me, but when I learnt that he is sharing the same marketing team as Diane and giving her the preferences it made me stop and think and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you need to do to vote.

I believe Simon Richardson has community interest at heart and has integrity. I also like his team.

I like the values of Karin Kolbe and Paul Spooner and they should definitely be on council.

Although Basil Cameron has a great team name, I worry if he will stand by those values.

My disappointment came when he was instigating market policy change. If adopted, management would go to the highest bidder. This would definitely take markets away from the community into the hands of the private sector (probably someone not from this area), making it more commercial possibly with franchise stalls. Heaven forbidâ&#x20AC;Ś is this what happened to the surfing schools recently?

This would be devastating for our vibrant, diverse, local markets, including the farmers markets.

Kerry Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien chaired that public meeting. Basil, seeing he was outnumbered, changed his tune totally, so he looked to be on our side. We knew! It was sad to see, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what

Mungo MacCallum

Once more into the booths, dear friends, once more: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time once again to defend the shire against the forces of darkness. Just be thankful we can do it by voting. So face up to the not very onerous task with vigour and enthusiasm.

There are in fact two elections: one for mayor and one for the eight councillors who will run the place (under the all-powerful gaze of the state government of course) for the next four years.

The easy one first: picking the mayor is really a no-brainer. Simon Richardson may be carrying a bit of baggage as a Green, and has run a pretty lacklustre campaign, but just look at the rest of them.

Morgan obviously does not expect to be taken seriously and Jack Sugarman is presumably running more from habit than conviction. Then there is Sol Ibrahim, who appears to be operating as a sort of stalking horse for Diane Woods: not only are they exchanging prefLETTERS from page 19

Simon Richardson

Jack Sugarman

Diane Woods

Basil Cameron

Having worked here in Byron Bay in 1972–3, and returning on holidays, I, like many others, was attracted to the rolling green hills, the golden surf beaches and the then laidback attitude of residents.

While staying with friends at St Helena, I decided to move to Byron Bay. I have been a ratepayer/ resident since March 1987.

I have never regretted the move.

In the early days here, I didn’t take much notice of council decisions; however, I started to gain interest in the 1990s due to various controversial decisions made by council. Everything that happened and that still does today becomes a saga.

I ran for mayor in the 2004 and 2008 elections because of the incompetent decisions made by councils of various political persuasions. I have come to the conclusion that change is the only way.

The only thing that happens in Byron Shire is that rates go up to the maximum, services diminish and infrastructure, if present at all, deteriorates.

There have been successful amalgamations of Grafton and surrounding shires. I propose to let Ocean Shores and the north go to Tweed Council, and the remaining Byron Shire, Ballina Shire and Lismore City Council form a north coast regional council.

If elected, I will firstly ring Don Page and ask him to appoint an administrator for the shire.

Currently, we don’t have a GM.

Married with three children and 10 grandchildren. I have had two terms as a councillor on Byron Shire Council.

Ten years of experience in banking as branch manager. Ten years in NSW Health Department at South Sydney Area Health Service in charge of management of funds for $300 million redevelopment of St George Hospital, Kogarah as well as many other capital works projects.

Six years in business in Brunswick Heads Newsagency and living in the Shire since 2000.

While in business I was a member of the Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce and also treasurer for a year.

I was a volunteer at the Emergency Relief Office in Brunswick Heads and was treasurer there for 12 months.

My vision and hopes for the council is to have a cohesive council where staff and councillors work in harmony to create good governance. I would like the issue of the new Local Environment Plan to be written in language that is understandable by ratepayers.

Restore property rights to individuals and to create a ‘can do’ culture for the development application process. This will also help in reducing the need for legal intervention.

I would like to see the new council work in better harmony with small business and encourage more opportunities for success to help create employment opportunities. www.winwithwoods.com

I live at Goonengerry on a rural property and have been in the Shire since 1987. I am a qualified solicitor with a background working for community and public sector agencies as well as extensive experience in tourism and event management.

My vision for a cohesive, selfreliant and prosperous community within a healthy natural environment is what drives me.

Community is my passion and my track record of work with community groups includes the teams that kicked off BAY-FM, worked for the declaration of Goonengerry National Parks, the protection of Byrangerry Creek headwaters and the ongoing feasibility study for regional commuter rail. I am an active member of Landcare, Brunswick Valley Historical Society, Save Mullumbimby Hospital Steering Committee and Trains On Our Tracks.

The past four years as a councillor, and more recently, deputy mayor, have been very rewarding. I have learnt a lot about meeting the challenges of local government and enjoy working with the community to get results.

With this practical hands-on experience behind me, and fully understanding the realities of the position and its demands, I can hit the ground running as mayor http://osf.org.au/

Husband, father, councillor and teacher. I love passion and compassion, innovation and inspiration, creativity and community.

I want to be mayor to help preserve the past successes we Greens have achieved over the last two decades, while meeting new challenges with both an open mind and open heart. Though we are made up of many communities in this shire, the shire only has one future – I want to respect our diversity, though represent the needs of the whole shire.

My vision for the Shire is one where we can all live and bring up our families. Where innovation and long-term thinking is the standard starting point for all decisions and where creativity and nature continue to flourish.

New residential development need not have a negative impact on the environment. If planned well, designed with innovation and appropriately for our climate and providing adequate green spaces, developments should have minimal impact. We need to consider smaller living spaces, shared ownership possibilities and understand that we have a finite amount of space, thus, it would be better to consolidate our current urban areas rather than creating too many new large-scale housing projects. And instead, bring residents back into our communities. http://byrongreens.org

Sol Ibrahim Sol Ibrahim lived initially in the Byron Shire in 1982. After a stint overseas and elsewhere in Australia he moved back in 1998 with his son Amir to build a house in Bangalow and set up permanent residence here. He currently lives in Suffolk Park.

Appointed to the position of CEO for Northern Rivers Childcare Services Inc in 1998, Sol has grown this small non-profit childcare service into one of the largest NGOs in the Northern Rivers. The organisation operates several after-school and vacation-care services, including at Bangalow Primary School, and also provides services in Mullumbimby.

In addition to childcare, the organisation provides special support services to disadvantaged and Aboriginal families.

After moving back to the shire, Sol worked for a number of years part-time as a tutor at Southern Cross University. Prior to moving here, he worked for the Ku-ringgai Shire and Ryde City councils in community service management and planning policy.

Sol has tertiary qualifications in Teaching, a second degree in Social Science and Policy, and is currently half way through a law degree. In Bangalow, he was the Council-approved treasurer of the A&I Hall, and helped to take it from being a run-down and underutilised hall to a highly valuable and prized community asset. www.visioninaction.com.au

The Byron Shire Echo September 4, 2012 23

Byron candidate groups

GROUP A Independents

From left, Alan Hunter, Donna Hammond, Chris Cubis, Diane Woods.

Diane Woods: I have been on Byron Council for eight years and during that time, I have seen a lot of frustration from local residents who wanted to work with Council, but have been met with an extremely negative and adversarial ethos.

If elected, I will do everything in my power to change this culture, and create a more inclusive Council.

There is a range of infrastructure and service issues (including but not limited to potholes, public amenities, lacklustre waste services, lighting and footpaths), that will only be addressed through better financial and organisational management.

I intend to lead a Council that spends its residents’ money wisely.

A key issue to be reviewed is the draft Local Environment Plan which in its current form would place major restrictions on landholders, and in particular, farmers within this Shire. Many people are unaware of the effect that the new zonings will have on their property, eg drastic devaluation of land value and restrictions on domestic pets.

I will also have a two-year moratorium on unauthorised dwellings within the shire, providing property owners with a grace period during which they can work with Council to comply with regulations. www.winwithwoods.com

GROUP B Community Independents

From left, Michael Moriarty, Jeanette Martin, Paul Spooner, Cherie Bromley, Amanda Gorr.

Yes, yes, this Shire has appalling roads and the potholes must be fixed. Beyond providing basic Council services effectively and efficiently, Council should also support our community and not frustrate our community’s vision.

Our local economy is currently weak, and there is no one single solution to fixing it. But Council can play its part. Council needs to encourage rather than frustrate our talented businesses, entrepreneurs, artists, artisans and community organisations.

Council does not need to be so bureaucratic and difficult to work with. Paul Spooner, Jeanette Martin and the Community Independents have a very strong record of being able to get things done.

The planning process is difficult and unnecessarily cumbersome. Community Independents will work to make it simpler. Local businesses and market stall holders need to be supported. A Council policy that preferences locals is a starting point.

Festivals are not our enemy and Council needs to support measures that spread the benefits of festivals throughout our community; tourism opportunities that respect the environment and our community should be promoted.

Paul Spooner and his team have the track record to bridge the divide between Council, businesses and the community. The Community Independents will ensure that we get things done in Byron Shire!

On election day Vote B for a better Byron Shire. www.communityindependents.net.au

GROUP C The Greens

From left, Duncan Dey, Rose Wanchap, Simon Richardson, Rhonda Khong, Jim Beatson, Clare Hocking.

We will strive to preserve our past successes and meet new challenges with innovation, intelligence and inclusiveness. Our past successes of no high-rise, a Biodiversity and Conservation Strategy, support for our Youth, Aged and community groups will continue.

So too will our support for appropriate development, community gardens, and our creative industries. Over the coming term of Council, we will strive to keep our local economy strong by supporting local management of our markets, developing youth employment initiatives, pursuing projects to disperse our visitors across the Shire, making it as easy as possible for entrepreneurs and innovators to get things done and to further develop and support our growing creative and agricultural industries.

We will focus on balancing our infrastructure needs with what is financially responsible and to advocate strongly and consistently to the state government to gain financial support for our Shire. We aim to do these things by seeking innovative solutions, being willing to listen, being courageous enough to lead, and creating consultative committees and roundtables to capture the ideas within our community.

We have the head, the heart and the will to get things done and we humbly ask for the our community’s vote and support to get started. http://byrongreens.com/2012-council-elections/candidates

Some of the candidates have their last say The following question was sent to this candidate for mayor

by The Echo: ‘New councillors will inherit the new sporting facility in Ewingsdale, while sporting groups in the north are still waiting for facility improvements. Is there anything you as mayor you would do to address this?’

I provided The Echo with an answer to that specific question.

The Echo published the following question: ‘Sporting groups in the north are still waiting for facility improvements. Is there anything you as mayor you would do to address this?’

By removing the reference to the ‘sporting facility in Ewingsdale’, The Echo successfully morphed the answer to the question – not to be confused with the question published by The Echo – into the irrelevant ravings of a candidate who failed English comprehension (thus – no doubt as intended – created the impression that one is not a suitable person to elect as the mayor).

Can you now comprehend the decision to not provide The Echo with a statement of political policies (rhetorical – no need to respond).

Q

Q For Byron Shire to thrive under the heavy, empty hand of our current state government, we need an experienced mayor who will advocate on our behalf to get the funding for residential services and sustainable business development, whether tourist, industrial, retail or agricultultural.

Basil Cameron’s record shows that he has the skills and experience required to negotiate the complexities of council/ state financing arrangements, to get the best ‘dollar outcome’ for the shire, to ensure better service delivery plus cost savings.

Basil has worked tirelessly, as deputy mayor and councillor, to develop policy on roads, tourism, public housing, transport, community markets, regional planning and environmental stewardship. He was there at the PAC (Pass Anything Commission) meetings to speak up for our community in the north of the shire against that ‘wrong development in the wrong place’, he gave his support for the much-needed sports fields at Billinudgel and has a renewable-energy plan that can work and will benefit Morgan the shire.

Mayoral candidate Basil has been a full-time

24 September 4, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo

councillor and will be a fulltime mayor with no political baggage, just a strong vision for a vibrant and sustainable shire that reflects our diverse communities and their needs, by bringing council and stakeholders together through consultation and involvement at all levels.

The Our Sustainable Future team will work hard for wellmanaged change.

Paul Arrowsmith

Our Sustainable Future Q You’ve

gotta laugh listening to some of the candidates talking on the pothole issue at The Echo’s election forum in Mullum.

Sol Ibrahim told us council’s works department are ‘a hundred years out of date on how to fix roads’. Really? If only it were true. And that comment just minutes after telling us his first job as mayor would be to let know all council staff how much he respected them.

Karin Kolbe breathlessly told us she is texting council staff with the GPS coordinates of every pothole she finds. Unless the staff all have white canes I’m sure they’ll get a good laugh out of that one.

Basil Cameron boasts that

over several years of chairing Council’s Transport Advisory Committee he has found $200,000 in over-costed council’s road upgrade plans. At last, a small, but tangible good.

Di Woods says she has no idea where she would get the money from but is absolutely certain she will fix all potholes, build new pavements and new gutters in Ocean Shores, and the list goes on.

As someone who has worked for The Guardian in London, and later as its Australian correspondent, and at the Australian Financial Review, I know it is a requirement of quality journalism to get facts right.

When you see multiple potholes in a stretch of road it’s a sign the road base under the bitumen needs replacing. Having checked with a number of road builders and councils a ballpark figure for replacing a 6.5 metre wide road (like Broken Head Road) is $750,000 per kilometre.

All NSW councils are victims of successive NSW state governments running down local government infrastructure. The backlog is $6.3 billion (NSW Local Govt Assoc study) with Victoria, the next highest is just $0.8 billion. It’s

<echowebsection=Articles>

time for all NSW local governments to unite in demanding a fair deal from the O’Farrell government.

The Greens are the only political party with a strong presence within both local and state government. They are working with all councils to unite for action on proper funding for infrastructure maintenance.

And the only person who it seems to me has the ability to unite Byron people around such action with his enthusiastic personality is Simon Richardson. That’s why I’m standing for the Greens. Simon is a rare politician, with an eye on both the big and small picture, a problem solver, able to laugh even when doing something very serious.

Jim Beatson

Greens candidate Q Change is a given at this elec-

tion, but what sort of change?

Over the last four years, I have been frustrated by the failure of the two extreme groups on council to be able to work together especially on the delivery of core services. Yes we can do better, and I will provide the leadership as mayor to get better value for ratepayer funds.

Cohesive partnerships with

community and business will always ensure council is most effective. As such, strengthening and supporting community with infrastructure, services, a resilient local economy and solid advocacy is a key goal As deputy mayor, I have the experience and am across the details necessary to break the mould of recent years and get council working. I am committed to ensuring that all councillors are able to contribute effectively and will rewrite the policy on community engagement and consultation so that the voice of Byron Shire residents will be heard.

The Our Sustainable Future team (Group F) of Tony Hart, Paul Arrowsmith and Mandy Hallinan have extensive experience working with their communities to get results. Together we will provide a new, clearer and more cohesive direction for council. Find our profiles, policies, achievements and my plan to get council working at osf.org.au.

The Byron Shire Council needs a change in leadership and attitude, to be more balanced and rational in its approach to administering one of the most beautiful and sought-after places in the world.

Council is elected to serve all the people. We want a nonadversarial and genuinely inclusive council, respectful of all our diverse needs and interests. Residents of the shire should not be afraid to approach council, whether to build a house or start a small business.

Our vision is for sustainable growth provided mainly by locals (not multinational corporations) which protects the natural beauty of the shire. We will retain the character of our unique towns and villages, ensuring locals control the process, and not let issues be decided externally through expensive Land and Environment Court battles.

We need to actively support local initiatives that create quality employment so we can keep our young people working in the shire. We will invest in local arts, music and farming initiatives, providing a platform for creative enterprises and growing our alternative industries. We will invest in health and fitness events, such as yoga festivals, surf contests, sporting competitions and adventure sports.

To bring back the balance we need to promote high-quality bed-and-breakfast type accommodation in town and the countryside. We will allow local families to offer sensitively controlled, short-term rentals in their homes during peak times to help them make ends meet. www.visioninaction.com.au Q A

correction: four of the 29 candidates for election to Byron Council have done it before – not three as per a letter to The Echo last week.

And half of the experienced councillors are on The Greens’ ticket (Simon Richardson and myself). I was a councillor for two years up to 2004.

Thus three of the many reasons to vote Green are: 1. Simon would make the best mayor of the six mayoral candidates.

2. Two of us know the ropes and have proven track records.

3. The Greens team is committed to our four principles: ecological sustainability; grassroots democracy; social equity/economic justice; and peace, disarmament and nonviolence.

Duncan Dey

Greens candidate Q During the past few months I’ve really welcomed the chance to talk to so many people across the Shire and to hear what matters to them.

I value living in a community that cares for all, that provides housing and employment, and protects our environment. I’m constantly inspired by those who give so much to this community – whether it’s running a soccer club, caring for dunes,

www.echo.net.au

cooking meals for homeless people or producing cultural events for all. Council’s role must be to support these endeavours – be it infrastructure, services, logistical support, or by lobbying state and federal governments.

Council must use its planning powers to keep our residential areas great places to live with only sympathetic developments. I don’t support permanent holiday letting in residential areas as it reduces the number of houses for residents. It also means people don’t know their neighbours.

We’ve all seen the empty shops in our towns. There’s no magic wand but by supporting our local businesses, like our food producers, we can work our way out of this. Putting more chain stores in only sends more money out of the region. Council needs to use its planning powers responsibly to benefit those who live and work here.

Please vote to keep our Byron Shire special Karin Kolbe

Group E Who is Michele Grant?

Apart from being a frequent correspondent here, with an apparent ill-informed obsession of her own!

Q

The Byron Shire is special – and we need to keep it this way. We need to keep our quirky streaks and not become like everywhere else.

Of course we to need look after the everyday concerns of ratepayers – like fixing our potholes.

And we need to support our local economy to create jobs so people can stay here. Industries like surfboard making, food growing and filmmaking, along with local markets, all add to create diversity and strength. This in turn creates opportunities for all ages.

Clearly we have to protect our unique environment for future generations.

Traffic problems are getting worse everywhere. We can start to fix this by making it easier and safer for people to cycle and walk – this means more bikepaths and footpaths.

We’re interested in supporting healthy communities. What does this mean? It means that everyone should have access to sportsfields and playgrounds, not just in some parts of the Shire.

It also means residents have a right to live peacefully and know their neighbours without uncontrolled holiday letting.

Above all, we need to keep Byron Shire special. www.kkolbe.com.au

See individual candidate information and further reports on the election online at www.echonetdaily.net.au As a member of Sol Ibrahim’s Vision In Action team, and on the issue of expensive ads, I point out that our platform was workshopped by our team, that all poster design, web design, and all printed ad design was carried out by Myra Eady, a valuable member of our team. She is not some ‘high priced Gold Coast PR firm’ as claimed by Michele Grant.

Then if you want to talk ‘expensive ads’ and ‘BU largesse’ and the last election: in this corresponding pre-election issue of The Echo four years ago BU had a single one-page ad that did not direct party preferences etc. Guess which ‘party’ had more than three times as much in smaller ads, advertorial etc? We all know who!

As for the issue of coastal protection, it is very relevant to the Byron business community, as a substantial part of the Byron CBD lies within the same Coastal Hazard Zone as do the homes of the residents of New Brighton, South Golden Beach, Brunswick Heads, (yes) Belongil and beachside Suffolk Park.

We don’t know Michele Grant and she certainly doesn’t know us, nor has she familiarised herself with our

election platform! We are a hard-working group of ethical individuals with no ‘party’ affiliations who have come together and who promise to work towards positive initiatives and positive outcomes for all Byron Shire residents (not divisive ‘strangling’) if given the opportunity after next Saturday. Who knows?

Michele might even get over her obsession.

Laurie Lynch

Vision In Action Q Our Community Independents team is listening to people in our community and finds a general feeling that council is all about making it hard for people to get things done.

We want to turn this around and develop a culture of respect, collaboration and innovation between councillors, staff and the people of the Byron Shire.

While Paul Spooner and I have been called ‘fresh blood’ in this election campaign, we are not novices when it comes to dealing with council. Paul’s previous management of Byron Youth Service and now, Byron Community Centre, involves regular interactions with councillors and staff to develop these vibrant and supportive commu-

<echowebsection=Articles>

From left, Paul Arrowsmith, Basil Cameron, Tony Hart, Mandy Hallinan.

Basil Cameron: My vision for a cohesive, resilient and prosperous community within a healthy natural environment is what drives me as a councillor and deputy mayor.

Strong communities achieve more, are better able to look after their own needs and protect the environment. Community has to be supported with infrastructure, services, a strong local economy and solid representation.

I have learnt a lot about meeting the challenges of local government and enjoy working with the community to get results. Better roads, infrastructure and services are possible if our council can work more effectively.

As mayor, I will provide the leadership to ensure councillors are given every opportunity to contribute to a more effective and representative Council.

I will engage and collaborate with all groups to get the best for the community.

The Our Sustainable Future team of Tony Hart, Paul Arrowsmith and Mandy Hallinan share my vision and have a great track record of working with their communities.

Our profiles, achievements, policy statements and information about my energy initiative to cut the rising cost of electricity for residents and businesses can be found at osf.org.au.

nity organisations.

The last 15 years of working on community projects has shown me that council faces many time-, economic- and state-imposed constraints but time and time again I see that community holds the knowledge and skills to find the innovative solutions. I am a strong believer in people power and never taking no for an answer.

Since 2006 I have been the co-ordinator of the Mullumbimby Community Garden which has now earned a reputation as a leading environmental organisation, demonstrating what people can create together when we don’t give up or wait around for someone else to do something.

We need to stop slamming council for what isn’t happening and get involved. We are not just ‘vote banks’ – community has to work with council to find the creative solutions to our shire’s issues and Community Independents (Group B) will facilitate this process.

We know how to work with people to get things done.

election campaign it has been bemoaned by some mayoral candidates that Byron doesn’t have a vision. This is wrong.

We are the vision of this Shire.

We, the community, are living the vision. It is a vision of a shire that is not overdeveloped, where community groups are supported, where the council is progressive, where the impact of decisions on our environment are taken into account, and where Council and the community bravely and resolutely stand up for these things.

Saying we have no vision is not only ignorant, but dishonours everyone in the Shire who has struggled against great odds to keep the vision alive over the decades and still today. Of course, like any vision, there is still much to be realised. However, we live our vision through our actions. If granted the honour of representing the shire as mayor, through my actions, I will stand alongside all of you and continue to be bold, lead responsibly, promote innovation, assist the local economy, advocate for our homeless, youth, and aged, maintain our lifestyle for our young families Jeannette Martin and stand up for our vision that Community Independents still proudly pulses throughout candidate our shire.

politicians can be like. Basil should remain on council but I wouldn’t want to see him as mayor!

It isn’t easy to be a councilor and be conversant on all the different issues. It is a lot of dedicated time and work, for very little money. That is a shame, as we really need ethical business people in this job.

Potholes and the overall appearance of the shire need an overhaul. Council also needs tourist money, so ratepayers are not left to cover for them using our town. Of course there are loads of other issues, but that is another letter.

After 40 years of living in this shire I still love it dearly and want a team who will keep our Byron special. Please research before you vote! Watch where your preferences are going, as it is important in the overall counting. Best to fill in your own numbers.

Myocum Q Jane

Fullerton laments (Letters, August 28) that many community residents are unhappy with the Green councillors’ performances. Yes, there

are nine councillors, Jane, and four councillors (including the mayor) who represent the Greens, as you point out, but you’ve neglected to include the extra vote (the mayor’s casting vote) which has delayed and stopped progress many times on sportsfields for the north of the shire (and I don’t include the last-minute floodplain sports initiative in Billinudgel), Byron’s ArtScape, Bangalow’s Olympic swimming pool, the demise of Mallams (a local business who supported the community wholeheartedly for more than 100 years), the delays on aged accommodation projects, the absolute mess made of supposedly affordable housing projects in Federal and Main Arm, selling community land in Ocean Shores, not once, but three times over the years, and denying the north of the shire an arts and cultural centre, to name but a few.

The casting vote is a very powerful tool that mayor Jan Barham uses regularly to hinder and stop community infrastructure and facilities, while making sure environmental court cases go ahead unhindered, costing the shire

more than $2,250,000 in this last term.

Communities are sick and tired of poor governance that spends our meagre ratepayers’ dollars on expensive plans that are rarely actioned, sitting idle on council’s shelves gathering dust.

This past council has left us with a deficit (loss) of $162,411 for the last financial year, which is close to bankruptcy (p19 council’s last budget report). How much interest will council have to pay to banks in the following financial year 2012/13? Answer: $5,340,000 (pp155–157 council’s budget), and undermining the last five GMs and lots of good community initiatives won’t endear them to the constituents.

only exacerbate the problem of alcohol-fuelled violence in our streets. Why does he not support the highly-successful Newcastle model of earlier pub closing times and trading restrictions, which has been endorsed by police, health workers and politicians alike.

Or, even simply improving the mix of low-key community spaces, like small markets, cafés and well-lit public parks to promote the safety of our visitors?

Sol’s team is looking more like a front to advance the interests of few Byron Bay busi-

ness owners. We need councillors that represent community interests. It’s about time Sol came clean on who is financing his council campaign.

TIBETAN HEALING THERAPIES

Our trained doctors have extra skills in identifying, diagnosing and removing skin cancers and melanomas. Early detection is the key to lasting cure.

For at-risk people a full-body skin check is recommended with every change of season. You are at risk if: you have ever been sunburned in the past; you work outdoors or have done so in the past; you have had a skin cancer before; you regularly pursue an outdoor sport.

Every year around 430,000 Australians are treated for non-melanoma skin cancers.

Tibetan Healing Therapies has now opened at North Ocean Shores next to South Golden Beach after relocating from Sydney.

The resident therapist Kunga Tsering was born in Tibet but entered into exile in Nepal then onto India more than 20 years ago.

He has studied Buddhist philosophy at the Tibetan University at Varanasi India, along with seven years’ training and studying Tibetan astrology with Lama Sherab Nyima. He is also an experienced yoga teacher.

IT

SEEMS THAT BYRON AND SURROUNDS CONTINUE TO ATTRACTS THE WORLDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CREATIVES. SINGER/SONGWRITER TONI CHILDS, BEST KNOWN FOR HER HEAVILY R&B INFLUENCED DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T WALK AWAY HAS DONE JUST THAT, SHEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S WALKED AWAY FROM HER LONG-TERM HOME IN HAWAII STRAIGHT INTO MYOCUM.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Myocum is just like Hawaii to tell you the truth,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she jokes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a bit colder and for some reason people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow coconuts!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Childs wed Australian visual artist Mick Levage and it seemed that while on the brink of launching her ambitious world project Citizens of the Planet that it made sense to put her team together here, the place in Australia that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always loved.

my spirit fulfilled and it desires to grow and evolve to become a better person.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This is no short-term project. Citizens of the Planet has a 15-year plan, so this album, Because Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Beautiful, is really a seed album. The greater vision is about seeding art projects and bringing countries together to play in a special way and to foster growth and exploration. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Citizens of the Planet is a technological visual physical experience that gives me the opportunity to celebrate who we are as human beings and celebrate who we are and the patterns weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created and what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created in vying for our position â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and what I feel is that the difference between domination and dominion, collaboration versus tyranny and dictatorship. I want to talk about a century looking at what are some possible things that can happen for us to move forward and evolve as a human species on the planet.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Toni is a believer in living with awareness.

Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest project goes way beyond the singer/ â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There are some things,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;that will be revealed songwriter album launch and tour. It paves the way for in the live experience. I had a dream at 20 where I met shows around the globe, involving communities who my future self and I re-enacted that dream in sharing have raised $170 000 thus far to help fund the recording. that I ask the audience if they are willing to connect to For Toni itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about evolving. that future self. I believe if we all do that we all be on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I always want to grow and evolve as a human being, same trajectory; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about you following my god or my point of view but your own.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and as an artist the current I chase is one of having

We need to shoot our arrows for the long term, Childs believes, embracing an ability to accept and move with multiplicity of beliefs and spiritualities. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Life is a creative process (spirituality and philosophically); we stopped using our creativity and, to me, the point of that place in which uniting of every facet of who we are has a depth and breadth to it, all these different points of view merge on a perspective; mine isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a resonant thing we can agree on.

I can see I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with that, there is a commonness of sitting at a view. People need to be able to be able to take in a different point of view. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Thats what I see as Citizens of the Planet, and then different art projects that come together to participate in these little packets of energy around the world; on a global level, I am so excited because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bringing so much together, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so funny when I had the first component â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wrap the World in Beauty, this concept of bringing five projects over 15 years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Toni Childs launches her new album, the beginning of Citizens of the Planet at the Byron Theatre at the Community Centre on Saturday.

GARRETT KATO TAKES THE STAGE ON FRIDAY AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN

TAKING ON TCHAIKOVSKY

Having a snap at Russian piano classic, Tchaikovskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Seasons has been on the Grigoryan family to-do list for 15 years. The Seasons, a twelve-movement composition written for solo piano by the iconic Russian composer, has at last been arranged for two guitars

by Edward Grigoryan for his sons Slava and Leonard Grigoryan, who together are one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading guitar duos.

On this tour, Slava and Leonard will perform highlights from The Seasons as well as a selection of their favourite pieces. This will include compositions from all corners of the world and pieces that display their improvisational skills.

The Grigoryan Brothers are Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading and favourite guitar duo. In addition to their individual careers and collaborations with other artists, as the Grigoryan Brothers they have recorded five albums, been nominated for numerous ARIA awards and

KATCHAFIRE AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON SUNDAY undertaken international tours through Europe, USA, UK, Asia, Russia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates, as well as many national tours.

You can get some Seasoning at the Community Centre, Byron Bay on Wednesday.

Friday night at the Rails.

ELIZABETH LORD AND LEIGH JAMES AT THE UKI CHURCH HALL ON FRIDAY

HIS THING Garrett Kato has been compared to the likes of Ray Lamontagne, Ryan Adams and David Grey for his ability to capture an audience. His distinct rich vocals and old-time country melodies truly make for an honest and compelling sound for the audience.

A few months after arriving in Byron Bay, Garrett was spotted by recording artist Pete Murray while playing at a local venue. A late night of drinks and a few songs later Pete Murray introduced Garrett to producer Anthony Lycenko and which they began working on his first Australian release, Love. Murder. Songs.

Now that Kato is just coming off his third Australian tour his band (Ben Livermore, Jamie Birrell) will take the stage on Friday at the Hotel Great Northern with special guests Kyle Lionhart and James Lange to celebrate the release of his new EP.

WHO LET THE DOGS IN Local musician Steve Tyson has spent the past year touring his critically acclaimed album Temple Dog at folk/ roots festivals and venues up and down the east coast of the country. The album is a set of story-based songs that reflect his extensive travels through exotic locations such as India, Russia, Japan, and time spent on the European festival circuit.

Steve will be playing most of the album plus a bunch of new songs, and some interesting interpretations of tunes that inspired him to pick up a guitar in the first place. Steve (guitar/dobro/ mandolin) will be joined by longtime touring and recording partner Dave Parnell (cocktail drums/guitar).

See them at the Rails, Wednesday.

CAPTURING THE AUDIENCE

PAUL GREEN PLAYS ON THURSDAY AT THE BEACH HOTEL

GET WARM FOR WINTER

PAULâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GOT A BIG THREE AND A HALF Paul Greeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-and-a-half-octave voice, catchy melodies, witty lyrics and unique arrangements make him one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most exciting musical prospects. His music is a magnificent concoction of soul, folk, pop, roots and rock, which he delivers all by his lonesome, with only a battery of well-worn guitars, a stomp-box and a belt full of harmonicas for company. One of those rare performers whose songs are infectious and easily accessible, yet full of depth and complexity, he is equally as well versed as a songwriter and an interpreter of other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s material.

Beach Hotel, Thursday.

Diana Anaid is taking time out from recording her fifth album to do what she loves most â&#x20AC;&#x201C; getting on the road and playing gigs.

Dianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organic and honest approach to songwriting has garnered a loyal fan base as well as critical success for her albums including 2004â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beautiful Obscene, which crossed Diana into the mainstream.

Recently recognised by her peers with an invitation to feature and perform in 2011â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rock Chicks Expo at the Melbourne Arts Centre, Diana has become an iconic figure in the Australian music scene and she will be playing the Rails in Byron on Saturday.

E N T E R T A I N M E N T planted the garden.’ House story. Oh yes if only the walls could talk!

See Mandy live at www.echonetdaily.net.au

WHEN WALLS TALK There’s nothing stranger than standing in a house you’ve once lived in when it’s empty. When it’s stuffed to the gills with your furniture and children, with your paintings and knickknacks, with scraps of paper with phone numbers and business cards tacked to the notice board, with rubbish bins spilling out and a cat on the top of a cupboard, it feels very much like you, but once it’s empty it’s spooky. It’s like the you that lived there is now dead.

The house is like a set of brackets with nothing in between them. Just empty walls waiting for the next human beings to inhabit the house.

Waiting I guess for a new story to tell. I walked around the house I’d lived in for seven years once the furniture had gone and marvelled at the feeling that that part of the house’s story was over.

In a house that’s 120 years plus there’s a lot of stories. In fact it was one of those houses that people would often say ‘oh I lived there once’ or ‘my friend lived there’ or ‘did you know Louise the midwife? She

I once lived in a house in Eureka with an impressive array of stories.

Sometimes they are the kind of stories that you would rather not hear.

Like that it had been built by one of the settling families in the area who had lived there for generations. Apparently they’d fell on hard times and been forced to sell the family house. It was by accounts devastating for them, but particularly for their young son of 21 or so who became mentally unwell and suffered some sort of nervous breakdown.

Some time later the house was bought by a young policeman and his wife. They lived in the rambling estate home with only one small child.

Being a policeman, the chap was often away and on one particular occasion the son from the original family returned with a shotgun to reclaim his family home. (Now I don’t know if this is fact, but it’s what I was told.) He then proceeded to take the young woman hostage and a siege followed. The siege I was told involved helicopters and a chap out the front on a megaphone talking the bloke out. It finally ended when the young fella handed himself in and he was eventually sent to a mental institution. They were unsure where. Probably Richmond Clinic, they added.

I had only moved into the house a week when I was told this. My husband travelled regularly for work. I would be home for weeks at a time on my own with my three small children. ‘When was this?’ I asked.

The teller of the story noticed my discontent and assured me, ‘don’t worry, it was years ago. Probably in the late seventies.’ I did a small

mental calculation. That would have put the bloke in question in his late forties. I’ve seen [ITALIC]Cape Fear[/ITALIC]. And even worse I’ve seen the remake. Just like the film, Robert De Niro makes a comeback.

I start freaking; what if the estranged son comes back, older, crazier and angrier now as a man in his prime, psychotic now about his lost family fortune. I imagined my speech as I pleaded at gunpoint, ‘Please sir, don’t shoot me, we don’t own this house. We are renters.

We have nothing. If you just give me a moment I’ll give the real estate agent a quick call and find the owner’s address for you. I’m sure he’s only a short drive away, I’d hate you to be holding the wrong person hostage!’

I became so paranoid about being taken hostage by a crazy dude while living in that house it wrecked the country ambience completely. I even started checking under the car for middle-aged men hanging on to the undercarriage. I did find one, but it turned out I’d driven off from the mechanics in such a hurry that the fellow fixing my exhaust was forced to cling on. I was never taken hostage.

So now we’ve finished our stint at 131 Dalley Street. I’ve said goodbye to the brown snake that lives at the base of the stairs, the family of possums that romp in the roof, the schoolkids who’ve had an ongoing war with my letter box and the chap who turned up at 1am asking for a light for his cigarette. Now we are officially in our new house. There are no stories here. Yet. I’m looking forward to making them. I might start by visiting the neighbours after midnight, requesting a cup of sugar.

CAPRICORN: This week’s challenge is recognising the difference between the faux and the true you. And others too, with the aim of gaining understanding and being less judgmental, more user-friendly. It’s also best not to agitate for radical change unless you’re really ready to live with it.

Bernie

universally disliked member of the community. Nobody can fathom the relationship and Bernie, openly enjoying his benefactress’s largesse while at the same time becoming her toy-eunuch, is oblivious to any mutterings about impropriety.

When Bernie transgresses, it is good ol’ boy Danny Buck, the county DA (Matthew McConaughey), who goes in hardest against the harmless, much-loved mortician. Visually, a lot is made of Bernie’s rotund dagginess (Buck is convinced that he is a closet homosexual) and Black buries his normal blustery exuberance to eke out the character’s impervious naivety in a wonderfully subdued performance. As his nemesis, McConaughey, liberated from rom-com stereotyping, shows (as he did in Magic Mike) what a fine actor he can be. The opening scene, in which Bernie demonstrates how to prepare a corpse for interment, says it all – in death as in life, we all have a prepared face to present to the world. But is it ever possible to know what lies beneath? To understand what goes on in another’s head?

The deal is sealed with a handful of terrific pics that run during the closing credits, including strangely intimate footage of Black speaking with the real Bernie. ~ John Campbell

The Expendables 2 You know who the good guys are from the start – they’re the ones not getting killed in the hail of bullets. The body count is in the hundreds before the introductory credits appear, as the population of a Nepalese town is mowed down by Barney (Sylvester Stallone) and his raffish, rough-house mob of loveable homicidal maniacs. I slid into a deep funk. (Beats me what the Syrians are whingeing about. Can’t they see what fun slaughter and mutilation are?)

THE SAPPHIRES LEGACY

wrongly figured was there as cannon fodder – Barney must fly his plane to Albania and, while avenging the murder of a young buddy, retrieve from the loathsome villain (JeanClaude Van Damme) a cave full of weaponsgrade plutonium. Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris turn up at various stages to keep the corpses mounting without suffering the casting indignity of being under Stallone’s command. The action-hero genre, let’s face it, is embarrassingly childish, but this one is almost saved by a welcome tone of self-parody.

Willis has always gone about his business with a hint of tongue in cheek and, even if Stallone remains the last bastion of steroid-pumped egomania, the others also help lighten the camp machismo. Not that the passing of time has left them any option. To see the trio of old farts – Arnie, Sly and the Bruiser – with their turkey necks flapping in the vibrating din of ear-splitting machine guns is, as they say, a seniors’ moment of high farce. The former governor of California has the last word when, after Willis comments that the boys’ new plane ‘should be in a museum’, he wryly observes ‘so should we’. The weaponry thundered, the fistfights hammered, the orchestra pounded… I went to the toilet.

And I still wouldn’t back any of them against a rampaging Greg Inglis. ~ John Campbell

The Sapphires By taking a softly-softly approach to racial matters in this vibrant film, director Wayne Blair manages to re-engage his mainstream audience with what remains the nation’s most confronting issue. Nobody likes to be relentlessly burdened with guilt, so if reconciliation fatigue had begun to corrode the essential truth that all nonIndigenous Australians must accept, Blair has struck a timely blow for goodwill and positivity.

Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy), Kay (Shari Sebbens) and Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell) are siblings growing up on an Aboriginal mission.

After Kay is lost to them (the circumstances are revealed in a later flashback), the others grow up to form a c/w group.

To the horror of the white townsfolk, they enter a pub’s talent quest and are soon shown the door, but not before they have connected with Dave (Chris O’Dowd), the rapscallion Irishman who will take them under his wing. After intensive tutoring in Tamla Motown, the girls are transformed into the Sapphires and signed to perform

<echowebsection=Cinema>

for American GIs in Vietnam. It is 1968 and Blair employs keenly observed design and b/w archival footage to tremendous effect in creating the period (a cut to Martin Luther King is incredibly moving). Content-wise, it’s light on, with a tendency to cheesiness that is only kept in check by the tumult of the times, the testing of relationships and the muscular, exhilarating music. Lead singer Mauboy wrings out every ounce of feeling from their numbers with searing authenticity.

Mailman, a beautiful and gifted

actress, effortlessly carries the movie, but if she is its heart and soul, she inadvertently provides its two nagging doubts. For mine, she simply does not look the part and is too big and matronly to be on stage in a glittery mini-skirt with sprites who might have been pupils in her classroom. Nor could I buy into the romance that blooms between her and Dave.

But this is quibbling dissent and did not detract in the least from what was a joyous and uplifting experience. ~ John Campbell

Television Guide 1. Jennifer Lawrence is outstanding in the gripping independent drama Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bone (SBS1, Saturday, 9.30pm), based on Daniel Woodrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2006 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;country noirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; novel of the same name.

The Lawrence character seeks to find her father in order that her mentally-impaired mother and her family may continue to have a home. Set in extreme American poverty and emotional deprivation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a harsh, brutal reality brilliantly realised and fully deserving of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

2. At the other end of the filmic scale The Chronicles of Riddick (7Mate, Sunday, 9.40pm) sees action star Vin Diesel bombing without a decent script. Somehow Judi Dench was coaxed by Diesel into this scifi train wreck, the unfortunate sequel to the cult hit Pitch Black, which at least had the advantage of Radha Mitchell and some dramatic tension. Scores only 29 per cent on the Tomatometer.

Beachside breakfast, lunch and dinner right in the heart of town overlooking Main Beach, Byron Bay. The only exclusively Vietnamese restaurant in town, this intimate space spilling out into a courtyard offers up fabulous dishes packed full of herbs, spices and varied textures. The traditionally light and healthy style of cuisine ensures the freshness and natural tastes of food are preserved as much as possible. It’s a popular spot so bookings are recommended.

Hog’s Breath Cafe’s menu just got better with some mouth-watering new steaks, salad, pasta and an abundance of delicious dessert selections. As usual, the diverse menu also offers chicken, seafood, snacks, burgers, ribs, kid’s meals, a range of Lite Options, plus their famous Prime Rib Steak – slow cooked for up to 18 hours for maximum flavour and tenderness. Kids eat free Mon – Wed nights and you can grab lunch for just $9.90, so there’s something to please the whole family.

A sophisticated blend of flavours and textures with an ever changing menu. For breakfast, lunch or dinner and tapas all day, matched by an exciting wine list and arguably the best cocktails in town.

Your taste buds will be tantalised and so will your eyes as you look over the streets of Byron and enjoy the eclectic vibe of The Balcony Bar & Restaurant. www.balcony.com.au

The fine tradition of general stores

used to be a shop called Life’s A Beach. Their own outlet was becoming steadily busier – ‘we’d outgrown the caravan park shop,’ Shaz tells me. Baz adds that there had been issues with the council at the previous place as well. ‘Plus we wanted to expand. This came up and it was more viable. So we took over this place, and most of our customers followed us here.’

KINGSCLIFF

And work it does – not only as a convenience store saving locals the trouble of driving into town but also as a social hub. I run into three people I know within minutes of arriving, and everyone seems to be chatting to someone else as they pop if for milk or bread or zucchini or a frozen dinner. Baz and Shaz try to stock as much local – and organic – product as possible and they respond continually to demand. ‘The organics grew out of demand,’ Shaz says. ‘Barry and I had never eaten tofu or tempeh before! We just listen to customers.’

One of our favourites is at Burringbar: the very friendly Friendly Grocer just off the highway.

You can buy fairy wings and lice-egg remover; sparklers and candles shaped like sea-horses; tools and Dr Bronner’s Magic Soaps (certified fair-trade); palm sugar and DVDs. Upstairs is the Gianyar Gallery: hand-painted locally made crockery and carved wooden platters and paintings and an enormous wooden Pinocchio marionette for $220.

To my delight our last visit yielded a bottle of Sicilian Nero d’Avola for $19.95 – from Burringbar!

Perhaps lifeblood of the community is too strong a term – but perhaps not, for these little general stores.

MULLUMBIMBY

It was largely that clientele that followed the couple when, ten years later, they took over what

He says it was a big risk, many people considering the couple mad to leave a main-road business. ‘We were pretty confident,’ he says. ‘The main reason why we thought it would work was a lot of our customers live here anyway.’

The ‘Yum Yum Tree’ was a traditional meeting place for the first Australians of our area. A place to take sustenance, and catch up with old and new friends.

The tourist park had almost come about by accident. Although Baz is a Kyogle boy he had moved to Sydney, where he met Shaz, and where they both worked until the decision was made, based on the fact Baz’s parents were still up here, to relocate to the far north coast. Baz tells me that they didn’t really know what they would do up here, but because he had a friend in the wholesale fruit and vegetable business he started to help out. When the previous operators at the tourist park ran into financial difficulties Baz offered to take on the site. ‘We took it over,’ he tells me in the cool dining room behind the shop, ‘starting from scratch. We built up our clientele from there.’

SUFFOLK PARK

BYRON BAY CONTINUED

Not at Baz and Shaz, however. Admittedly their store is a mere two years old in its current abode in Beech Drive, Baywood Chase, where Byron Bay becomes suburb: no time yet for dust to settle.

And even in their previous one, the tourist park on Broken Head Road now rebadged Beaches, they had only been operating for ten years. Their distinctive name – pure Australiana – has however in that short space of time acquired a timelessness

and a familiarity, as if they’ve been around forever.

Overlooking the sparkling blue waters of the Jack Evans Boat Harbour at Twin Towns is Horizons restaurant.

Enjoy a friendly atmosphere with casual indoor or alfresco dining where you can take in our spectacular views. Bring a friend to Horizons for High Tea available 7 days in the afternoon from 2.30pm to 4.30pm for an extra special afternoon delight!

TWEED HEADS

You do wonder how they survive. Many don’t, of course – but wherever you go throughout this wide brown land you will find those that do.

They are the general stores, the precursors of supermarkets, the everything-you-need-underthe-one-roof outlets whose stock, the more remote the location, becomes ever sparser, dustier, out of date and arcane.

Luscious Foods aim to provide the freshest, first class quality handmade food for your event. Whether your function is a cocktail party, wedding, conference, picnic or intimate, Luscious is here to help create delicious menus to suit your tastes and budget.

Under 18s ~ GHOSTBUSTERS ~ Reggies Lesser lights shine for Giants on grand final day captain Eden Syme to accept the shield – which he did with quiet dignity. There are some real footballers and decent young men coming through the ranks at Mullum, promising much for next year.

Inspired by the tyros, the reserve grade mix’n’match team of old fogeys and inbetweeners hung on to inflict the Ghost’s second defeat of the day by 18–6.

Glen Godbee, still with a ton of class, even at the age of 86, tippy-toed across field to put rampaging Jack Shaw into a gap for the Giants to take a lead that they were never to relinquish.

Story & photos John Campbell

Culture is all about heritage, self-improvement, the way we live and knowing who we are.

If you’ve been to Les Donnelly Field in footy season you’ll know that the word applies perfectly to Mullumbimby’s tight-knit rugby league club.

Steeped in history, the Giants’ 2012 NRRRL campaign was one they’d rather forget in Agrade, but on Sunday’s NRRRL grand-final day at Murwillumbah, the lower grades flew the flag for the blue-and-gold.

The Under 18s defeated the Grafton Ghost by 22–14 in a mighty game of football. Fielding a side that included a number of boys who, before they might have expected it, had experienced the brutal reality of the seniors’ ranks during the year, the Giants were too tough, too committed and too well coached.

Against the run of play, Grafton took a 6–2 lead, but Mullum struck back with two championship moments.

Full-back Rhys Carruth saved a near certain try in the corner and, in the ensuing set, was on hand to back up a break

The Under 18s had every reason to celebrate after their stellar 22–14 effort at Stan Sercombe Oval in Murwillumbah on Sunday as did Reggies Man-Of-The-Match Josh Castellano, right, who helped his teamates to an 18–16 win over the Ghosties.

and chip for his winger Scott Essex to score at the other end of the field. And if that wasn’t thrilling enough, with the score at a tense 6-all, lock and manof-the-match Jack Gosewiski made a barnstorming 30-metre run to the line to put Mullum ahead 12–6. All arms and legs,

Gosewiski looked like a young Ron Coote as he smashed his way over for a thrilling try that had written all over it ‘we’re not gonna get done today!’

Bullish Jack Govett registered a brace in the second forty and all that was left was for strong-running centre and

It was then only a question of whether Mullum’s veterans, led stoically by captain Shane Diehm, would get to full-time without keeling over with heart attacks. Adam ‘No Knees’ McKenzie looked keen for a barney; Scott ‘where’s my dinner suit?’ Hogan schemed; the Browning brothers, Bernie and Adrian, impersonated each other, throwing poetic passes from dummy-half, and Kevin Mulcahy proved that centenarians can still contribute with some bone-rattling hit-ups. Meanwhile, try-scorer Josh Castellano, who had a whale of a game, and fellow prop Jason Greenhaugh worked tirelessly in the furnace of the ruck.

Claiming the major prize in In A-grade, the Murwillumbah Mustangs drove the final nail into the coffin of Grafton’s miserable afternoon with a nailbiting 27–26 victory.

Bouquets to all involved for their tireless efforts – you have entertained and energised us throughout winter. Brickbats to the foul-mouthed fools – men and women – who have no class at all and who deter others from going to the footy.

Auspicious win for grand final berth Another Giant win for netball

Alex McAuley

Every once in a while the planets align and somebody – or bodies – gets the reward they well and truly deserve. One such auspicious event occurred last Saturday morning in Lismore when Mullumbimby Brunswick Football Club’s U15 team won a long-awaited and well-deserved place in the Football Far North Coast grand final.

On a perfect spring morning, 14 young men and one young lady took on an undefeated Richmond Rovers at their home ground – no mean feat at any time – but even tougher when the minor premiers only needed a draw to get through to the grand finals. However,

they hadn’t counted on the spirit of the mighty Mullum team who, despite the worst of starts when we conceded a goal in the first five minutes, fought back valiantly to equalise just ten minutes or so later.

With only minutes to go in the first half, Mullum scored again and went into the break with a 2–1 lead – handy, but not handy enough when playing a team of the quality of Rovers. Nevertheless, our fearless youngsters started the second half at a sprightly pace and quickly put in another great goal giving us a much more comfortable two-goal buffer. It now was a question of whether or not we could hang as the day grew hotter and we started to run out of puff.

54 September 4, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo

Our boys – and girl – did brilliantly, showing a composure that their parents lacked on the sideline as we variously ‘couldn’t watch’ or wanted to know ‘how much longer now?’ every few seconds for the remainder of the match. Rovers showed their class and quality by mounting relentless attack throughout the latter stages of the game and were justly rewarded with a late consolation goal, but the result was in the bag and our 3–2 win takes us gloriously into the grand final – a result this team well and truly deserves after years of commitment to the sport and to each other.

The main core of this group has been playing together since the U6s and the additions along the way have added great depth

The Brunswick-Byron Netball Association held their Senior Division 1 Grand Final on Saturday in perfect netballing conditions. The Mullumbimby Giants took on the Main Arm Classics in a nail-biter that saw Main Arm lead at the turn of each quarter. A hard-fought match with sensational play from both sides saw the tally teeter back and forth until the Giants inched ahead in the dying minutes to take the match 29–28. In true netball tradition, the battle of the centres was fought hard and fast. Mullum’s Teaghan Nelson left, and Main Arm’s Karly Moir (who was awarded player of the day), went head to head and play for play during what was an exciting game for both players and spectators. Photo Tree Faerie.

and skill to an already talented outfit. There are many clichés I could use about what makes a great team, but I’ll restrain myself other than to say this: in the last ten years of playing together, I have never heard any of these young sportspeople say a cross word to one another; when one player has a bad day, all the others encourage him and keep his spirits up. I have similarly never

<echowebsection=Sport>

heard a cross word from their coach: when the team doesn’t win he tells them all how well they played and how they can continue to improve by learning from their mistakes. Nor have I ever heard a cross word from any of their parents: at the end of every game the players get hugs and praise, win or lose, encouragement for the next game, and endless support.

So it would appear that the moral of this story is: a good team is a happy team, and our team is over the moon with happiness at the prospect of playing in their first grand final, and win or lose, they are already champions to us.

The grand final will be played on Saturday September 15 at Oakes Oval in Lismore, kick off at 3pm. www.echo.net.au

There’s a ’bad’ Moon on the rise…

Byron football fever

Dean Trevaskis

A great game of football was had at the Byron Rec grounds recently, resulting in the Byron Bay second division being crowned minor premiers.

Coming into the last game of the season three teams were vying for the top spot of the FFNC second division and a draw between first place Lismore Workers and third place Uki Pythons was a perfect buildup to a Byron Bay v Bangalow clash where Byron had to win to claim the top prize.

Byron dominated for the first 10 minutes, culminating in a great goal by this season’s top

There was plenty of symbolism in the Moonshiners’ gutsy fight back against the Murwillumbah Bananas at Brunswick Heads on Saturday. Murwillumbah have dominated recent contests between the clubs with leviathan lock Rory Arnold unstoppable. When he crossed the try line twice in the opening minutes of Saturday’s season ender it looked like business as usual. The Shiners again looked undersized and inexperienced. Then as has been their trademark in 2012 they dug in and to a man, lifted the work rate and hunted in numbers. Most of the young blokes have been playing together for a decade courtesy of the Shiners’ junior team the Billy Goats. Their mateship extends well beyond the bounds of Rugby and will define this side in years to come.

The Shiners increased the intensity, getting off the line fast and mowing the big lock down every time he got the ball. The Shiners came close to scoring when Dillon Pyne found space on the wing, waltzed around a couple of stunned Bananas and motored for the line. It was not to be. Possession began to even up and when Matt Perry drew four defenders close to the line, offloaded for the second-phase assault by his front-row partner Lachlan Stubbings, the lead was cut to five points and it was game on.

Murwillumbah were looking tired and perplexed that the usual script had been trashed.

As the second half kicked off it was anybody’s game. In a classic arm wrestle both sides

settled in and slugged it out in the middle third of the field.

Murwillumbah continued to rely on their size to hit it up the middle, while the Shiners looked for space out wide.

Alex Martin typified the Shiners’ commitment when he sent a Banana 30kg heavier sprawling across the touch line in front of the big home crowd.

The on-field leaders, Pyne, Siamoa, Potts and Perry, were again brilliant in harnessing and directing the youthful exuberance around them. Every one of the young blokes was worthy of mention.

But the defining moment of the game was left to tight head prop Matt Perry, the man most responsible for what looms as an exciting era of Moonshine Rugby. He has put his heart

and soul into the junior Billy Goats. Saturday was evidence that the first harvest of rewards is being reaped in the senior club. There can be no greater element in the health and spirit of a club than players rising through the junior ranks; some of this team are also following in their father’s footsteps.

With Mur’bah still five points ahead the Shiners’ faithful started the whisper of ‘how long to go’. Murwillumbah had withstood several phases defending their line at the Bowlo end. The Shiners had seemingly exhausted all options of attack. The huge crowd only metres from the action willed them on for another effort. Matt Perry called for the ball, hit it with momentum, rolled on impact against four

desperate Bananas, stretched, and grounded the pill on the right side of the chalk. The big fella unleashed a celebration of epic proportions.

The conversion was missed and the scores were locked up 12 a piece. Leon MatchettOates in another vote-winning performance almost cracked the deadlock with a kick and chase down the wing. Murwillumbah hit back with an intercept for what looked like a heartbreaking late try only to have it disallowed. When the ref signalled the end of the game and the season it was a draw.

The gap between the Shiners and Murwillumbah had been closed. The top four sides of 2012 will be in the Shiners’ sights next year.

… meanwhile Byron is off to the finals DJ Longtime

The final round of Far North Coast Rugby season ended in bizarre twist with the Bay snatching a last-second 20–20 draw to minor premiers Yamba.

Byron Bay needed to win to secure a major semifinal berth and seemed set for a miraculous result after a late try put Byron within three points of Yamba with less than four minutes to play. The Bay controlled possession from the final kickoff with purpose and composure to move deep inside the opposition red zone. With the benefit of a penalty restart advantage and Yamba out on their feet, the Bay took the unique option of potting a field goal to end the game in a draw.

Grafton now finish second and play the Major Semifinal against Yamba while thirdplaced Byron Bay will host arch rivals Bangalow at the Recreation Fields at 2.30pm on Saturday in the sudden-death Minor Semifinal.

The day began brightly www.echo.net.au

scorer William Ennis. The rest of the first half saw Bangalow push but with little result.

Byron regained their composure in the second half and dominated, securing the premiership with another three goals, making the final score Byron Bay four and the Bangalow team zero.

Byron Bay now has to win on Saturday September 8 to secure their slot in the grand final on September 22.

Congratulations to the boys and Jim Blower for coaching a great team – good luck in the finals series.

enough last Saturday when Byron’s underrated forward pack created all the early pressure and were rewarded with a host of early turnovers. Hooker and all-round quiet achiever Chris Graves muscled over after seven minutes for the first try.

But the Bay’s enigmatic attack, which has scored more than 150 points in their last three outings, seemed almost bemused by Yamba’s ability to make regulation tackles. Rather than crashing players over the advantage line and recycling possession the Bay drifted aimlessly across field, pushed passes and schemed for non-existent holes. Taking further pressure off the opposition and adding to Byron’s troubles was an utterly aimless kicking game.

When Byron fullback Sean Reilly was harshly sin-binned after a try-saving cover tackle midway through the first half the game blew wide open.

Yamba’s clinical backline used their extra man to post two quick tries in the corner. The Bay lost sight of the advantage

line, conceded a 10–1 first half penalty count and went to the break down 12–5.

Byron’s forwards rallied in the second half and posted a rare hat-trick of front row tries when props Wal Andrews and Tim Hartmann both powered over. But it sadly wasn’t enough and the talent-laden Byron were again left to rue a lost opportunity to beat an efficient, well-drilled opponent prepared to do the simple things that are required to win football games.

The Bay’s tight five won the battle against Yamba’s bigger forwards. Flanker Tom Homer again showed his tremendous value to the team and young No 6 Jasper Kelly more than held his own against an opposition pack that has contested the past three Grand Finals.

Robert Lynch performed well in a disjointed backline.

The semifinal showdown between Byron Bay and Bangalow on Saturday might have made a fitting Grand Final and the winner may yet go all the

way. The loser will have their season abruptly ended by their most bitter rival.

Put simply, it promises to be the game of the season.

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

Renovating not necessarily best when selling: survey Despite the commonly held belief that money needs to be shelled out in renovations prior to selling in the upcoming spring market, a Domain survey* has found the majority of sellers are not planning on making any major changes to their homes.

Of those who are planning to sell their home in the next six months, 82 per cent will not be making any major changes to their property prior to selling.

Sellers have little confidence that renovating their home will have an effect on the price they will get for their property, with 50 per cent believing renovations will not add any value to their property. Thirty-five per cent have said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything major that needs doing to their property.

However, 84 per cent of sellers will be doing some form of minor updates to their homes, including painting (32 per cent), fixing holes and replacing broken items (25 per cent) and replanting the garden (19 per cent).

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The survey has shown that in this current market, sellers are cautious about spending up big on the hopes of adding value to their home and the final sale price,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Domainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national property expert Carolyn Boyd. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is quite savvy when you consider that when embarking on major renovations you risk overcapitalisation and you may not end up recouping the money. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;While you want to attract the most buyers to your property and present your home in the best possible light, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often a good idea to leave something for the new owner to do to put their own stamp on the property. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Before embarking on any renovations, it can be helpful to do your research by looking at other properties in your area that are on the market to get an idea of sales prices and if possible, go through the homes or units during open inspections to see what condition they are in.

TOP TIPS FOR GETTING THE BEST PRICE FOR YOUR PROPERTYÂ t %P ZPVS SFTFBSDI â&#x20AC;&#x201C; know your local market. t %F DMVUUFS IPVTF inside and out and do a thorough clean. t 1 B J O U U I F property. t 6QEBUF MJHIU BOE tap fittings if they are outdated. t , JUDIFOT BOE bathrooms can be to tided up reasonably cheaply by using paint for the cupboards and tiles, adding good lighting, and changing cupboard and vanity doors and handles. * Survey of Domain newsletter subscribers intending to sell conducted in July and August 2012 totalling 1490 responses.

(COAG) Housing Supply and Affordability Reform report. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The housing industry welcomes the release of the Housing Supply and Affordability Reform report, and looks forward to some robust and constructive debate by the states and territories,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Graham Wolfe, the HIA Chief &YFDVUJWF *OEVTUSZ 1PMJDZ BOE Media. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The residential building industry is in a severely depressed state at the moment, which is impacting on the livelihoods and job security of thousands of people within the industry, and limiting the capacity of many Australians to put a roof over their head. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Housing supply and affordability are serious issues in many parts of Australia, in no small way to due to the disproportionate level of taxation on housing, red and green tape slowing up new

supply and constrained access to finance for builders and consumers. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is important that genuine reform of the way housing is treated by all levels of government is undertaken, which will improve affordability and unlock the economic potential of the sector. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If acted on, many of the recommendations in the report will go towards addressing some of the chronic problems facing the industry. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;However, there were a number insightful findings in the report about the success that measures enacted in different jurisdictions have had in addressing problems facing housing. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where a measure has proven successful in one state or territory, we would like to see it elevated and given further consideration by ministers.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The Byron Shire Echo September 4, 2012 63

Backlash Dear reader, this coming Saturday you have the civic responsibility (and delight) of voting for a bunch of good men and women youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see sit on Byron Shire Council. Read up, work out your own form guide and vote accordingly. Be assured that in everything you read and hear the ratio of bullshit to reality will be about 79:1. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked at any of the news from around the world, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know that the institution of democracy is a very fragile thing, and that keeping it alive requires ongoing vigilance. Unfortunately this requires more than just voting; it needs a watchful eye on what local, state and federal governments are doing, an understanding of and willingness to discuss the issues and then, heaven forfend, even acting upon them. And remember, as an e-card on Facebook recently noted, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you lose one sense, your other senses are enhanced.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why people with no sense of humour have an increased sense of self-importance.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want too many of the humourless in councillor chairs.

*+' *ROGZHOO .06

Q Q Q Q

Re that fragile state of democracy thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no charges have been laid against CIA operatives who ended up killing folks under torture on George W Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watch, while soldier Bradley Manning was held in solitary confinement without charge for leaking documents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; http:// www.bradleymanning.org/. Go figure. Now the Republicans, who brought you said Bush, want to put in power a couple of guys who make Tony Abbott look like a simpering leftie.

Scientist Mari Molina, who shared the Nobel Prize for his work connecting refrigerants, spray-can propellants and other pollutants to the depletion of atmospheric ozone and the ozone hole, has turned his attention to climate change. In a recent talk to the American Chemical Society, he described the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atmosphere as wafer thin, like the skin of an apple. So it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too surprising, he said, that our activities have changed its composition. While CO2 is indeed a trace gas, Molina pointed out that its absence would turn our planet into an iceball. So if you add more, the planet warms up. Now read on: http://bit.ly/NqTzNK. Q Q Q Q

Before you go getting a tramp stamp of your favourite council candidate, check out the dangers involved with backyard tattooing adventures. Youngsters should also note that the fine for tattooing a person under the age of 18 without parental consent can be up to $22,000, which is a drag if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just mucking about with your mates. For more information about safe tattooing and hygienic practices please go to NSW Health website at www.health.nsw.gov. au/factsheets/general/tattooing. html.

Q Q Q Q

The article about candidate funding on page 7 makes for fascinating reading. Of course the trouble with bringing in out-of-shire PR people to prepare your stuff for the election campaign, as the Diane Woods group has found, is that they may not have a clue about local issues. For example, if they misread your notes and print â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Roadhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; instead of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Roundhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on your leaflets you can be sure that folk will begin to wonder why you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give this work to locals in the first place.

While Dendy is dropping out of the local cinema scene, it is heartening to learn there are five cinema operators vying to take over the spot, some who have an interest in catering to the arthouse market. As many of our readers have noted, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly a better way for kids to spend their time than joining Q Responsibility for election in street brawls. And of course comment in this issue taken by thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always Pighouse Flicks, Simon Haslam, Mullumbimby.
