Byron Shire Council Notices Pages 48

Bruns comes alight

Extra sub-licence granted to surf school Hans Lovejoy

Byron Bay Surf School owner-operator Jayme Edwards has won a hardfought battle to stay afloat as a surf instructor. On July 31 last year The Echo reported Jayme’s ten-year business and elite surf coach Steve Foreman’s tender applications were rejected in favour of a higher ‘blind bid’ from other operators. It was despite the pair being established longtime operators with impeccable records. The decision led to the tendering process being reviewed independently and sparked division with the then-councillors, led by former mayor Jan Barham. That review, by Sydney-based company Grant Thornton, found that the Byron Shire Council did not use ‘the most appropriate method for assessing and scoring the sub-licence fee criteria considering the nature and circumstances of the tender.’ The reviewers also added they, ‘do not believe there is a sound basis for the

panel to make the recommendation to award the contracts to the successful tenderers.’ And now Council and state government departments have agreed to allow an extra commercial sub-licence – from four to five – for operators to teach surfing on Main Beach, Byron Bay.

Now a fixed fee Additionally, a fixed fee will be set for future commercial activities sublicences, according to Byron Shire acting general manager, Ray Darney. ‘The fee will need to be determined and set prior to the next tender,’ he told The Echo. ‘As yet, the tender process for the commercial activities sub-licences has not been reviewed, but will be reviewed prior any further Jacob King comes to McGregor’s Carnival at Bruns each year, and says he’s pretty impressed with the new ‘Stars tenders being invited for commercial Ride’ aka ‘The Vomitron’. Although the Fish & Chips festival has wrapped up, the carnival will be open at Banner Park in Brunswick Heads until Australia Day on Saturday January 26.

Breakfasts will be held at the Housie shed in Banner Park, Brunswick Heads from 7.30am, while Byron Bay’s breakfast will be in Apex Park from 8am. Later on at 11am in Apex Park, a celebration of the survival of Indigenous culture (Sisters for Reconciliation) will be held until 3pm.

As for the official Australia Day ceremony, it will be held at the Ocean Shores Country Club from 11am to 1pm, and will include an address by mayor Simon Richardson.

Australia Day at Ocean Shores Country Club Australia Day awards categories include Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Community Event, and Junior and Senior Sportsperson of the Year. The Australia Day address will be given by Frank Mills, OAM. Byron Shire will also welcome nine new citizens as part of Australia Day 2013 celebrations, says Council. The new citizens have arrived from the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy,

Germany and New Zealand. ‘I congratulate the newest citizens of Byron Shire and on behalf of the local community, wish them well as they end their migrant journey and start their new lives as Australians. ‘I encourage all Australians, whether new or old, by birth or by choice, to join in Byron Shire’s Australia Day events and celebrate this great nation,’ mayor Simon Richardson said. At New Brighton Oval from 4 to 6pm, the Ocean Shores Community Association will host an Aussie teabreak. For Suffolk Park residents, a fun afternoon is planned by the Byron Rural Fire Brigade from 1 to 5pm at Gaggin Park. And in Banglalow, a family fun day will be presented by the Bangalow Historical Society from 2 to 5pm at Heritage House.

The new library has now been delivered into the safe hands of library staff, including library assistant Bronwyn Miller, pictured right. From left is Byron Bay Friends of the Library members Bob Levett and Jenny Coman with mayor Simon Richardson. Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Council and library staff have been given the keys and now begins the book moving in preparation for the grand opening of Byron’s new library on Monday February 11. The old library closed on Friday afternoon so that the three full time staff can start moving the 25,000 books and other items from the old site to the new location on the corner of Lawson and Fletcher Streets. Library assistant Bronwyn Miller says she is excited about the pure luxury of space. ‘Just to be able to work in a physically and aesthetically healthy environment‌ The vibrance of the building is a much better way of reflecting our community. What is really exciting is the local studies room. ‘We will be able to house our historical collection and our local studies collection properly.’ Byron Bay Friends of the Library also took the chance to see their hard-raised funds at work. A generous donation of $20,000 from the group will see the new building filled with books. The new library features a

young adult room and an Indigenous and local study room with community rooms and a dedicated room for use by Bundjalung of Byron Bay-Arakwal People in recognition of the role they played in making the land available for the new library. Bronwyn says that contrary to popular belief that the internet is making libraries extinct, she says that instead libraries are becoming more user friendly and there is a move away from the ‘Shhhhh’ of past times. ‘There is a dedicated children’s area where kids can make noise, but at the same time there are quiet study areas. This is the way new libraries work. There is lots of room for display and recreation and time out and social connections rather than quiet, intense spaces that have no-one allowed to speak. This is what is good about the design.’

Sustainable features Construction commenced in September 2011 and has been designed to incorporate sustainable features, which will provide the building with a five-star green environmental

rating, claim Council. Built at a construction cost of $3.75 million (excluding GST), the new library has been funded with help from the State Library of NSW, the NSW Community Funding Partnerships program and Byron Shire Council loans.

Byron mayor Simon Richardson and Lismore mayor Jenny Dowell, plus several other councillors visited the coal-seam-gas-free (CSG) vigil at Glenugie south of Grafton on Thursday. Up to 100 protesters are camped on private property near the Metgasco CSG test-drilling site, which two weeks ago saw 18 arrests by around 60 riot police. Cr Richardson said the visit was to show protesters that people from all around the northern rivers supported their stand, and it was appreciated. Tweed mayor Barry Longland withdrew at the last minute from the visit, saying commitments in Murwillumbah prevented him from joining fellow mayors. Meanwhile, Lock the Gate Northern Rivers campaigner Michael McNamara has urged concerned locals to join the new blockade vigil against another Metgasco CSG testdrilling site at Doubtful Creek, near Kyogle.

sional and personal ordeal. ‘I sensed from the start something was wrong with this tendering process and this independent review simply vindicates my long-held suspicion; that an alternative and undisclosed methodology was used to assess the sub-licence fee, one which disadvantaged me and favoured the money offer over local knowledge, experience and excellent safety record. ‘I praise the new councillors of the Byron Shire, led by mayor Simon Richardson, in backing the findings and recommendations of this independent review, and having the strength to overturn a decision made by the previous councillors, led by the former mayor Jan Barham.

In doing so, they’ve righted a serious procedural wrong and nipped a dangerous precedent of ‘tender bargaining’ in the bud; their work augurs well for the future of this much-maligned Council.

Livelihood, career and purpose is back ‘And I am relieved I’ve got my livelihood, career and purpose back, after what’s been a challenging, expensive and stressful time. I hope this experience also puts the Byron Shire Council executive on notice that their internal processes are also not beyond reproach, as I start the process of rebuilding what was before all of this, a successful and reputable business.’

Tea in the park for a cause

A group of regular holiday makers staying at the Massey Greene caravan park, Brunswick Heads, held a breast cancer fundraiser last Friday. ‘The dress up theme is inspired by the ABC TV show Keeping Up Appearances’, says co-organiser Shae Bleakley. ‘It’s a riparian luncheon with every lady contributing a plate which has to be purchased from a local business in Brunswick heads.’ Photo Jeff Dawson

Teen hitcher assaulted Police are appealing for witnesses to the assault of a 17-yearold male after he was picked up hitchhiking on Saturday. The incident occurred along Tweed Street in Brunswick Heads at around 10.40am, and subsequently the boy was able to escape the car unharmed near the corner of Orana Rd and Tathra Glen. The lone driver of the latemodel dark-coloured Mercedes is described as caucasian, approximately 60 years old with a large build and straight grey hair. He also had freckles and a mole on his face. The boy was wearing a black t-shirt with white stripes on the left shoulder and white board shorts. Investigators are appealing for public assistance to identify the perpetrator and can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

and also some accompanying benefits which go well beyond the new aroma. ‘These Australian essential oils generally tend to be very fresh; some will give you a lift like Honey Myrtle or Lemon Scented Gum, while some calm you down like the locally grown rainforest tree Anise Myrtle, Fragonia, or the “Outback” Australian Sandalwood.’

Many of these oils are known antiseptics and some are great for a variety of different health issues also, such as skin blemishes, skin irritations, tired joints and tired muscles.

Chamber responds to criticism The one thing that can solve most of our It’s been a tough few weeks for Byron United’s (BU) president Paul Waters, with letters to the editor in both local papers critical of his response to NYE. In an effort to clarify his position he responded by telling The Echo his not-for-profit organisation was ‘shocked as anyone else about some reports.’ ‘The comments I made regarding the night were mine,’ he said, and were ‘not made on behalf of Byron United or Byron Bay Liquor Accord.’ Furthermore he said the comments were based on his own experience in the CBD and the police report advising that ‘NYE was without major concern’. ‘At the time, I was not aware of illegal camping and abuse of locals, private property or

public amenities etc. ‘Rest assured, neither myself nor Byron United advocate antisocial behaviour, violence, illegal camping or littering at anytime, anywhere. ‘In fact we spend thousands of dollars and volunteer manhours keeping the town clean. ‘We are now even more resolved to work closely with Council, community groups, police and other stakeholders to make sure we learn and succeed,’ he said. He added, ‘BU funded the NYE fireworks and carols with the aim of supporting a safe, family-friendly celebration. ‘We didn’t promote the event inside or outside the Shire and had no way of anticipating any antisocial behaviour.’

Tourism forum to broadcast live An exciting new development in BayFM’s history has been announced with plans to broadcast live the community forum on tourism, being held at the Byron Community Centre on Saturday. BayFM’s production manager William Martin told The Echo, ‘We’re very excited to be a part of this forum and be able to bring the community closer together with a live broadcast for the first time.’ He says the theatre’s 24-channel desk connects to the radio station upstairs, and can also be recorded. ‘From now, future concerts and forums from the theatre can be beamed live throughout

the Shire and beyond.’ To be held January 26 from 5.30pm until 8pm, the forum brings together key business, community and political representatives and aims to address the inherent challenges of tourism. Moderator is former ABC journalist Mick O’Regan and will be conducted Q&A style, with questions accepted by email (editor@ echo.net.au) before Wednesday January 23, or just before the night kicks off. Entry is free, seating is unreserved, and it is presented by Byron Shire Council in conjunction with The Echo, The Byron Shire News and BayFM.

Thirty fire-fighters, their families and guests gathered at the Brunswick Heads Fire Station on the weekend for a special award ceremony. It was special because the recipients chose their local station as the ceremony location – other options include the main fire station in Sydney, their regional headquarters, at their local station or by post. ‘I feel very proud that all of our crew wanted to have their

awards given at the local station’, said captain Graeme. ‘It’s nice to know that they want to do it locally here at their home station.’ Federal Nationals candidate Mathew Fraser and deputy mayor Dianne Woods presented the awards: retired firefighter Bill Pearce received a national medal third class for 45 years of service; retained fire-fighter deputy captain Ron Witsel received a national medal for 15 years’ service; and retained fire-fighters Geoff

Disobeying unjust laws is a moral responsibility Hans Lovejoy

Since the state Liberal/National government’s push to expand coal-seam gas (CSG) across the state, residents of all political persuasions are uniting against the threat of this unnecessary environmental destruction. While cynics might claim to be CSG fatigued, there is little doubt a network of wells and toxic ponds spread across suburban, agricultural and forested areas is ludicrous, given clean energy availability. And yet the struggle continues; last week a second blockade against drilling near Kyogle was established – Glenugie is ongoing – while Broken Head Road residents joined countless other towns and streets and declared themselves CSG-free. But what makes citizen activism tick? A new breed of educated, intelligent and non-violent CSGfree dissident is emerging, as exemplified by author and SCU law lecturer Aidan Ricketts. Though he’s been on the frontline since 1984 protecting our nation’s shared environmental heritage, in more recent times he’s been educating those wishing to be a more effective activist while also mediating with law enforcers at protests. He was also a co-ordinator of the North East Forest Alliance (www.nefa.org.au) from 1991 to 2001, and last year published The Activists Handbook: A Step By Step Guide to Participatory Democracy, which is distributed internationally.

Immune response ‘I see the explosion of CSGfree campaigning as an immune response to a cancerous growth,’ he told The Echo. Faced with a failure by our political institutions to protect us from mining, Ricketts says communities are facing the reality that the mining industry runs our parliaments. ‘This is a very big moment in the history of democracy for Australia. I have begun to advocate for a statewide referendum on CSG and I think, like the Lismore poll, a return to demo-

cratic principles is the only way to resolve this conflict.’ Repercussions for the current government, and especially the National Party, are likely he says.

Breakdown in the democratic process ‘Communities have expected that a new and high-risk industry would not be imposed on a region when 85 per cent of the residents oppose it. ‘Yet instead of slowing down, doing the science or consulting, we have the NSW government trying to impose this dangerous new industrialisation on the community by force. ‘The social movement is committed to non-violence at the deepest level, but the shock waves of trauma that go through a community when they see government using riot troops to smash legitimate community protest will have unpredictable consequences. ‘The NSW government is playing a very dangerous game in turning the riot squad against its own population, and against a non-violent social movement.’ He describes generally how non-violent protests are coordinated. ‘You tend to have a few people in blockade installations; that’s people locked to machinery or up in tripods. In our speak, we say those people are in “arrestable situations”, and they choose to be there. ‘If I am a police liaison rep, my role would be to say to police: “We understand that these people are in arrestable situ-

ations, but the group want to know where we can stand and observe the protest without risk of being arrested.” ‘In most situations the commanding officer tells the group where to stand while the police go about unlocking the blockade devices.’

Glenugie experience But that all changed at the Glenugie blockade, near Grafton, where 18 people were arrested in a major action by imported riot squad police last week. Ricketts says there were no arrests for disobeying instructions until the riot police tried to frog march 200 people down the road and away from their cars, belongings and the protest site itself. ‘The riot squad kept moving the protesters from where they were told to be, and moving the police line. That didn’t lead to any arrests. But then they pulled out this quite unusual power – which we checked and they do technically have – and they closed a whole section of road for a temporary purpose. ‘It’s used mainly for when there are road accidents. I’ve been doing this for years and have never seen this done before. As you can imagine, police shunting 200 people down the road against their will led to some arrests. The crowd did very well; we have our own anxiety about how well we can train crowds to be non-violent, especially under pressure. ‘Their task is to passively resist as much as possible, while appearing to comply. As long

as we are complying – albeit slowly – we are not arrestable. ‘But then they started pushing people in the back… Interestingly the ones who were getting most stroppy were the older ladies who were offended at being treated so roughly. ‘The average age of those arrested was about 55, which is very much about this movement; it comprises a lot of older people becsuse it is about belonging.’ He says the crowd posed no threat or hindrance to the drilling trucks arriving. ‘It was totally unnecessary to gain access for the trucks as the crowd were already complying with instructions. Despite all of that, relations with the riot police are pretty good. We were getting along well with around about two thirds of them. But a small portion of them wanted to crack heads, and unfortunately if a policeman decides to grab someone for an arrest, there’s a code of support. ‘So a few people were innocent victims of some overzealous police officers. ‘It appeared that the riot squad and local command had a strange power struggle going on too. It was unclear what the Grafton inspector was in control of, as was the case for the riot squad. I think there is quite a strong reluctance of the local command to engage because they know that it’s around 87 per cent of the local population who are opposed. It was inevitable that the state government would have to bring up the riot squad.’ As is the case with any successful public relations message, it needs to be clear and concise. ‘The message at Glenugie was, “After a 48-day blockade and a drill rig tied up for a month, it takes riot police to break a peaceful protest. This is what it takes to bring one drill rig in. A week after the riot police leave Glenugie, residents are still at the blockade site while a second blockade has been established near Kyogle. “‘The government cannot beat such a broad-based movement with a symbolic show of force.”’

Firestorm over climate change breaks out Volume 27 #32

January 22, 2013

Stop press: cat sees snow All our writers found themselves very busy this week, so at the last minute they asked me to fill this space. I thought of applauding Jonathan Moylan, the activist who hoaxed the stock market into selling off shares in Whitehaven Coal. But reporting the hysterical reaction of press and politicians was too depressing. Did you notice for example that the figure of $300m in share losses magically appeared at the very start of the news cycle? It was repeated ad nauseam by every sanctimonious prick who commented on this ‘green extremism’ although the real figure (calculated by an economist and published on Crikey.com) was about $300k, a thousand times less. Residents of Byron Shire know only too well that hoaxes, pranks, mass protest and civil disobedience are going to be needed to stop the unholy alliance of state government and mining companies from poisoning our land. Given that authorities have snatched Moylan’s computer and phone (as if he denied sending the hoax press release and it had to be proved) and threatened him with ten years’ jail, their reaction to serious civil unrest against mining is likely to be on a soviet scale. I thought of adding my two cents’ worth to the debate over Byron Bay’s predicament as the alcohol-abuse capital of the northern rivers, but more informed opinion can be heard on Saturday at the forum in the Community Centre. This is a plug for a worthy event. I thought of banging on about climate change. The total capitulation of governments to fossil-fuel corporations means that the target of restricting the warming to just two degrees in this century (an increase with horrendous effects but ones we can probably adapt to) looks to be no longer achievable. Hold a baby in your arms and imagine the future he or she will have to face because of our selfishness in the present. In the end I just googled ‘good news’ and after wading past the religious morons I found this on the Huffington Post website. It’s a cat who’s never seen snow before: http://bit.ly/SjDAIj.

O

n Saturday night the Heat beat the Scorchers. It was only Big Bash Cricket, but it seemed a fitting finale to a week in which the bushfires had not only dominated the news, but – directly and indirectly – the debate that flowed from it. And of course, the politicians got in on it. The previous week Tony Abbott, firefighter extraordinaire, had paraded across the front page of the Sydney Daily Telegraph in a pristine protective outfit, preparing to go on standby. The housing minister Brendan O’Connor branded it a stunt, but later withdrew and Abbott was in fact filmed going into action on the South Coast. Someone who described himself as ‘the firefighter on duty’ tweeted the Abbott’s spotless uniform was clearly untouched by action and someone else claimed that while it was nice to see him back, it was in fact the first time he had fronted for an actual fire (as opposed to a branch meeting) in 13 years; but Abbott fans were entranced by yet further proof of his macho. The best Julia Gillard could do in response was to go feminine and compassionate, which she had already done with some success on the Tasman Peninsula and now repeated in the Warrumbungles. Her detractors dismissed her appearance as a cynical ploy to prop up votes and a second-rate attempt to emulate premier Anna Bligh’s bravura but ultimately unsuccessful performance after the Queensland floods. But the reality was that she, like Abbott, was damned if she did and damned if she didn’t. Prime ministers are expected to attend the sites of disasters, both natural and man-made: if they don’t, they are accused of being hard-hearted and uncaring. And Gillard’s appearance did give her a chance to draw attention to one very salient fact:

while the cost of the fires has been appalling in terms of losses to property, farm stock and wildlife, to date there has been only one confirmed human death. And this is not a result of divine providence or any other form of sheer blind luck but of diligent, even brilliant preparation, effective and heroic efforts from the firefighters and a sensible and disciplined response from their supporters and, importantly the general public. It was a tremendous effort all round, and just as well: because there’s going to be plenty more

rope at the moment: no global warming there. The cautious rejoinder from the senior principal research scientist of the Bureau of Meteorology, Scott Power, that while it was unwise to attribute any single instance to climate change, it was quite clear that the world, including Australia, was warming and that as a result extreme events such as those of the last week would become more common and more severe, was relegated to a footnote. But the most sustained attack on the science came, as usual,

The fires and the heat wave that provoked them have reopened the debate on climate change and brought out the deniers in plague proportions. by Mungo MacCallum where that came from. The fires and the heat wave that provoked them have inevitably reopened the debate, if it can be dignified with the title, on global warming and climate change, and it has brought out the sceptics and the deniers in plague proportions. Undoubtedly the silliest has been the Liberal member for Hughes, Craig Kelly, who dismissed any suggestion that a new and dangerous trend was emerging. Why, it was just a hot spell, he scoffed. There had been plenty like it before; back in 1790 Watkin Tench, the celebrated First Fleet diarist, noted that the heat was intolerable: and so it undoubtedly was, to a Pom. So this proved that there was no global warming, QED. Others noted that Dorothea MacKellar had written of droughts and flooding rains in a sunburnt country so what did we expect. An international researcher revealed that it was also bloody cold in parts of Eu-

precisely the opposite: of course sea-level rise was accelerating and the cause was anthropogenic. Undeterred Lloyd wrote another piece calling it a ‘War of Words’ and headed: Scientists split on the question of sealevel rise. In fact, as the chairman of the International Panel on Climate Change, Rajendra Pachauri, pointed out, they’re not; there is certainly argument over just how quickly the rate is accelerating, but the basic fact is indisputable. Lloyd, in a desperate spirit of overkill, also ran a turgid feature claiming there was a ‘Rising Tide of Discord’. But on Thursday The Australian felt constrained to publish a belated correction to Lloyd’s original story, even if the editor did his best to bury it by printing it in an unobtrusive spot on page 2. Lloyd, as insouciant as ever, wrote another tedious piece of self-justification on Saturday headed: ‘Rising uncertainty about sea-level increases’. Well, there is in his mind, at least. But he was effortlessly upstaged by a retired political scientist called Don Aitkin, who has joined The Australian’s jihad against the ABC. Truth and balance, thundered Aitkin, are important values and they ought to prevail. And at the ABC, he did not think that this was the case. His evidence? ‘To me, the ABC seems committed to the view that anthropogenic global warming (AGW, now transmuted into “climate change”) is a real and present threat to humanity.’ Well, yes, and also to the view that the world is round and revolves around the sun. But oh, dear, the science is far from settled about any of this. No doubt he and Graham Lloyd could write a joint feature on the subject.

from The Australian and it was led by, of all people, its environment editor, Graham Lloyd. On Tuesday Lloyd gave us a breathless front page ‘exclusive’ headed: ‘Sea rise “not linked to warming”.’ It quoted a paper from the Journal of Climate co-authored by John Church, described as Australia’s preeminent sea-level scientist, and claimed that it said that sea-level rises were not accelerating. (Lloyd’s report also had a pointer to a story sneering at the ABC for running a report that sea-level rise was already having an effect on coastal properties because the ultimate source was a real estate agent. This from the paper that applauds the use of practical, hands-on research and gives reams of space to totally unqualified deniers like Gibbering Lord Monckton and his deranged ilk. But we digress.) When he saw Lloyd’s report Q See Mungo live at Church gave a press conference to say he had been verballed and that in fact the paper said www.echonetdaily.net.au

Shadeless I have been told by Byron Shire Council that we no longer provide shadecloth over playgrounds because ‘they will only get vandalised’. I’ve just parked my car in a nice shady car park outside Big W in Ballina. The car park cloth spans about 100 cars, and it looks around two years old. It’s in an easy spot for vandals, but is in great nick. I’m relieved to park my car in it. Wouldn’t it be lovely if Byron Shire playgrounds were shady? Even the brand new playground in Tallowood Ridge, Mullumbimby, is scorching hot, and therefore not used until late afternoon. The developers requested shadecloth, but were turned down by Council on the same grounds – ‘it will just get vandalised’. If we are sticking with this line, Council, could we please have adequate shade trees planted instead? Apex Park just near Council, Bayside playground and the playground behind the pool are other examples of playgrounds that are underused, due to lack of sun protection. Marissa Treichel

Paradise lost The Rotary Club of Byron Bay has noted with great interest the proposed Community Future Forum to be held on Saturday January 26. Much to my regret, I will not be in Byron on that day to participate but all members of the Rotary Club of Byron Bay have voted unanimously for our community concerns to be passed on to you and the public generally. Much has been said about the many issues facing our town and we have no doubt that the ‘robust conversation’

For the love of Rain and the hope of healing Dear Beautiful Shire, I’m in such deep gratitude for all your love and support in the passing of my son, Rain Ireland, on December 4. Never have I felt love in such magnitude as so many hearts and hands came together to lighten the load and give gifts of money, time, healing, nourishment and beauty. I am completely humbled and at your service. The past years have been a lonely time for me as Rain became more and more unwell and no ‘help’ could be found. I watched as he spiralled down into a dark despair with only the ravages of his mind for company. The complex and toxic mixture of his genetic and substance picture were something he survived every day. It was his choice to remain ‘unassessed’ and try to outrun his own illOFTT )F LOFX * LOFX BOE IF tried to protect me from it and him from me telling anyone about it!

I hope in the future we can take more care of those who aren’t fitting into any boxes and recognise the early onset of mental health problems in youth. Paranoia and an inability to be transparent about and communicate one’s problems means that phoning a help line doesn’t really apply to you. I do feel that he was let down on many fronts but I take refuge in that he chose to be imQPTTJCMF BOE IF XBT )F XBT so brave. I hope we can stop only providing our youth with services and start asking them what they can contribute to the community. Contribution is belonging. Rain had a fine aptitude for culinary delights and a healthy appetite for the finest produce. I always hoped that given the opportunity to share these gifts, he would receive the love and acknowledgement he so deserved. I hope the services we do have work closer with

each other and the families in order to build support networks for all concerned. I hope we can shelter our homeless and desperate at night so they are a little safer from the predators that are out there. I wish prescription drugs could be just that and that our kids weren’t scoring and misusing hydro and poorly made and tampered with ‘recreational’ drugs in our streets and parks. I wish that psychiatry had more to offer. I wish the legislation wasn’t so stupid in that a minor refusing assessment and overdosing on drugs is self harming and therefore are a risk to themselves. I wish that people who can’t help being unable to ‘behave’ could be safer. I’m really glad that we now have more in place for the myriad of differently wired minds in the autistic spectrum like Rain and look forward to seeing these younger kids flourish in their self-under-

you refer to will indeed be of the robust kind! But will it be informed? Similar forums in the last few years, all centred on Shire issues of one kind or the other have, more often that not, attracted very polarised opinions as opposed to passionately expressed, informed and intelligent solutions to very complex problems. Few more complex than our Shire population, transient or not, which includes over-indulging in alcohol, the rights of our retailers to do reasonable business, the rights of all to reasonably enjoy whatever they wish to celebrate and, above all, the rights of all the public to always enjoy their peace and amenity in a place

which used to be referred to as ‘Paradise’. Clearly, ‘Paradise’ is lost! This forum will attempt to debate intelligently the many and often conflicting interests of all stakeholders. As the panel members consider all these issues, we request that all do this with the following fundamental questions in front of their minds and with their hands on their hearts: t 8PVME UIF SFEVDUJPO JO trading hours benefit the public at large? t 8PVME UIF JOTUBMMBUJPO PG CCTV cameras assist the authorities in prosecuting offenders? t )PX EP UIF BVUIPSJUJFT SFDoncile the ‘Tourist Town’ with

the actual or latent violence late at night? t 8IP UBLFT SFTQPOTJCJMJUZ for denying the rights of the public to enjoy their peace and amenity? Our members will be at the forum and we look forward to this panel of distinguished and responsible local persons to address these issues with the clarity and intelligence that the public deserves. We congratulate the Byron Shire Echo in promoting this initiative.

In Caracas I stay with social worker Ivan, who grew up in the Orinoco Delta. He’s sharpened his jungle survival skills considerably since moving to the city’s west, where the infamous Guarataro slum cascades down the hillside to Metro station ‘Capuchino.’ The buildings are various shades

the barrios slums. I suddenly understand why Venezuela is home to one of the world’s most radical socialist movements. The poor occupy the strategic high-ground. They hold the city in a vice. In 2005, 120 families descended from the hills to squat in the offices of a bankrupt airline.

The streets are the perfect set for a post-apocalyptic film about a disease that kills everybody except junkies. Now I’m the duckling. With 30 bolivares in my pocket and another 100 in my shoe, I was almost looking forward to getting robbed, but we make it home unscathed ‘It’s safer here than in the east,’ says Ivan, ‘Here everybody has nothing.’ Indeed, salaries have stagnated while inflation is running amok. The official exchange rate is 4.5 Bolivares to the US dollar, but on the black market it’s 20. This makes Venezuela a very cheap place for tourists willing to enter the country with a fistful of greenbacks, but for locals, the cost of living has skyrocketed, and with it crime and chaos. Caracas is set in a steepsided valley, surrounded by

More recently, others invaded a set of buildings in the very heart of Caracas’s financial district, creating the world’s tallest slum. Where plate glass is missing, hollow bricks fill the gaps, gaining altitude year by year. Bank, bank, barrio. The constitution gives every citizen the right to shelter and food. Chavez will not move against the people, and after nationalising oil assets, he might afford it. The private sector ain’t happy. Two city blocks from the house in which ‘The Liberator’ Simon Bolivar was born, we lunch on the national dish Pavellon Criollo: black beans, white rice, plantain fried

golden, and stewed shredded beef. ‘This dish symbolises our struggle for independence,’ says Ivan. ‘You eat, you agree that Venezuela is for everyone, black, white, indigenous, mestizos. You don’t eat, we kill you.’ I eat and it’s delicious. We finish the evening on the world’s most unusual scenic cable car. Austrian built, shiny new, Chavez commissioned it to provide transport for the residents of barrio San Augustin. Incidentally, it takes tourists on a glorious aerial tour, about as close as one can normally get, but Ivan has street cred. We swagger in, slapping and secret signing. The air is fresher, the streets cleaner and the beer cheaper than downtown. Crime is high, sanitation substandard, yet there is no doubt that the poor are better off under Chavez, at least for now. They have a way to live, and they have their pride. I leave Caracas appalled and fascinated. It’s time to purge my lungs on a six-day trek to the spectacular Roraima Plateau. A three-day tour of Angel Falls (the world’s tallest) was a luxurious alternative I couldn’t afford. From the south of Venezuela, I travel overland into Brazil to meet the Amazon, destiny and another adventure.

I’m gently introducing a group of wide-eyed young travellers to the ways and wiles of South America. Twenty-four hours off the boat in the Jurassic landscape of the far north-east coast and they’re hanging behind me like delinquent ducklings, Spanishless and clueless. Venezuela may eat them alive. In this oilrich state, petrol costs 20 cents a litre but public transport is overcrowded. Rusting Chevvies evicted from the US nose and burble fat-tyred down barricaded streets. There’s a driveby shooting at the pizza shop. We catch a boat-ride to a remote beach. You don’t see mariners with Julia Gillard tattooed on their shoulder, but here socialist president Chavez inspires devotion among the working classes. ‘He gave me this outboard motor,’ says our boatman. Perhaps El Comandante heard the Confucian saying about teaching a man to fish. On the way back we take on a drunken passenger. He picks a fight with our driver, who throws him bodily off the boat mid-passage, drags him behind the boat centimetres from the churning propellor, then makes him swim the last 500 metres to shore. My ducklings are in shock, but I’m fairly sure he’s just trying to sober the guy up before sending him home to his wife. On a flight to Caracas. It’s a different world. Shiny handbags, high heels, lots of hair tossing. I hanker for Byron Bay where the guy with the Rolex sweats under his credit card debt while the local millionaire stays cool under a kaftan. Despite 12 years of socialism, the divide between the haves and have-nots is still a chasm, and Venezuela is suspended on a swinging bridge above it. Chavez is in Cuba for cancer treatment, survival doubtful. He was unable to take office for his third term on January 10. Venezuela is leaderless and pressures are building.

Jack and the story of Bangalow the strategy process involved careful planning with site inspections and a high level of community consultation. Jack’s argument is actually a non sequitur. The ‘curmudgeons’ who object to the Station Street proposal are concerned to retain the village and heritage character of the central business zone as recommended under the settlement strategy and the Byron DCP; this is not an argument about where to house new residents. And to suggest that we should have more large buildings like the one proposed to protect us from ‘urban sprawl’ or ‘suburbia’ is plainly ridiculous. It also goes against Jack’s own admission that people come to Bangalow because they find it attractive; that would soon change if we lost the unique character of our central business area, which includes Station Street. I think Jack needs to get better acquainted with our BanJohn Mutton galow Settlement Strategy and Ocean Shores the Main Street Study that preceded it. Jenny Coman Q For a young man as confident Bangalow in his opinions as Jack Dods seems to be, both at the Bangalow meeting and in your paper Q I read, with interest, Jack last week, he has shown himself Dods’s letter regarding Bangaboth ignorant of the history of low’s current development recent subdivisions in Banga- brouhaha. He does present low and dismissive of those res- some interesting (if slightly idents who actually live in these pretentious) ideas. I feel, how‘stock-standard, unimaginative, ever, that some of his reasoning cul-de-sac developments’; I’m is a little flawed. His comparison of Baywood sure many residents would find Chase and central Bangalow these remarks offensive. For his information, there is one example of this. In his was considerable opposition to letter he opines, rather judgthe Clover Hill estate, including mentally: ‘How many people a public meeting. But Council would say “Let’s spend an aftervoted for it (I didn’t) and so it noon in Baywood Chase?”’. My went ahead. The other develop- counter-argument is of course ments he refers to have been on that they would be the same land selected under the Ban- types of people who would say galow Settlement Strategy in ‘Let’s spend an afternoon in response to the state govern- (for example) Clover Hill or ment’s requirement that Banga- Ewingsdale’; they would, obvilow make provision for growth; ously, be the people who reside I refer to the letter you published on January 15 from Jack Dods, born 23 years ago and studying architecture. A great relief and some clear thinking for the town Bangalow with great potential. Jack, I was born 73 years ago in Lismore. Graduated in Architecture UNSW and have designed projects across the planet, including the largest residential in Byron Bay (will not tell where but there are a lot of contented residents). Your observations regarding Bangalow are excellent. The locals should engage you as a consultant to talk to Council and SPA if necessary. Bangalow has exciting potential. It is three-dimensional with a variety of activities and residential opportunities that do not exist in Byron, Bruns or Mullum. There is opportunity for exciting change and individuality and I hope you ‘get a go’.

Ecocide Last week Hans Lovejoy quoted James Hansen of NASA as saying that ‘CEOs of fossil-energy companies know what they are doing and are aware of the long-term consequences of continued business as usual. In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.’ I agree. Make the fat www.echo.net.au

cats responsible for their actions and their unsustainable practices. In Venice they use the recycled garbage from all their tourists to create the energy to run their city. They had no option so they came up with this brilliant solution. It’s not new; they’ve been doing this for years. The technology is in place and it works. This CSG rape and pillage of the land and people’s properties is terrifying because it shows that the big guys are totally crazy and think they can get away with it. If ever there was a time for people to come together to fight, this is it. Magenta Appel-Pye

there. Baywood Chase is a family-friendly residential area. Clover Hill and Ewingsdale are family-friendly residential areas. Family-friendly residential areas cannot be compared with Bangalow’s central area, which is primarily commercial. More broadly, in light of all the fuss, a more fundamental question must be asked: is ‘old’ Bangalow a real place anymore, or is it simply some sort of bizarre yuppie theme park? It certainly has been interesting, over time, to watch what was once a service centre for the surrounding farming community evolve (whether ‘sociopetally’ or not) into what is primarily just an over-priced strip mall for the well-heeled. Pam Timms

Suffolk Park Q Jack

may have been ‘born 23 years ago’, but the rest of us in Bangalow weren’t born yesterday. We object to the current proposal for Station Street precisely because it is the antithesis of good design. It is nothing more than a sixties block of flats with a nod to 19th century decoration on the front. From the sides and rear it is a masonry monstrosity that will dominate the surrounds. There are very real issues of danger to children and pedestrians with the accessing of the building through Station Lane and the vexed question of just how refuse disposal will be managed in the small space that is Station Street. But the real reason why Jack should take another look at this design is that is extremely environmentally unfriendly. Eight small units with small bedrooms and low ceilings and no passive solar heating and cooling – it will need banks of air conditioners to make it liveable in the summer months for its residents, which in addition

to providing a drain on power sources will also be a source of irritation for residents in streets around the site. It is also right beside the A&I Hall; it is naïve in the extreme to think that the noise from this constantly used venue will not be an irritation to future purchasers, thereby leading to complaints which, justified or not, will have to be investigated by the local constabulary. The developer, however, has no concerns about any of this – like Jack , he doesn’t live right in town and he will have no control or interest in the end-users of this development. And there were many objections to the new proposals for development in the areas that Jack has listed, but as all that land was actually zoned for residential blocks little can be changed as to their use. In 1990, when the people of Bangalow were about effecting major and substantial changes to their town to make it a better living space for both the community and visitors with the Mainstreeting Program, Jack was just one year old; and ironically it was a crew of passionate and idealistic young architecture students (just like Jack) from Sydney University, led by Professor Henry Sanoff, who brought about the congenial, attractive streetscape that is Bangalow today. That same attractive streetscape that has made it so popular with residents and visitors and that now has developers trying to cash in on that appeal. Medium-density housing is a good idea, but it has to be environmentally friendly, comfortable and sustainable medium density – not this little set of boxes with three shops underneath that is really just a block of flats with another name.

Holiday letting My detractors never confront my arguments and invariably resort instead to forms of personal denigration. Ian Gow, for example, wrote in the Christmas issue that I was hypocritical in my attitude towards holiday letting and that I claimed ‘special’ status in terms of alleged illegal accommodation on my property. He was silent as to whether holiday letting, as argued, is illegal. You got it arse-about, Ian. If you look back over letters

and press items over the past five years you’ll see that it was only after council staff started hassling me that I investigated and found that these chaps were turning a systematic blind eye to urban holiday letting while at the same time conducting systematic raids on hippies in the hills. When I pointed out that holiday letting wasn’t even mentioned in Council’s formal compliance priorities for 08 and 09, Jan Barham was justifiably embarrassed; she’d been too busy posing for press photographs to notice. The right wing must have been laughing deliriously over their beers at this time. Jan made some efforts to put things right but these were so inept that even today no-one has been convicted of holiday letting. The chap recently fined $100,000 over schoolies in the garage was convicted of running an illegal hostel, not holiday letting per se. Why Council didn’t charge him with holiday letting is a question very much to the point, isn’t it. There was a move to prosecute a chap in Wordsworth Street a couple of years ago, but that was quietly dropped. Why? There are precedents going back to at least 1908 demonstrating that the courts don’t like any form of unapproved short-term accommodation in residential zones. Councillors were given copies of these precedents more than three

years ago but not only failed to understand them, they failed to admit to themselves they failed to understand. This is an extremely serious short-coming as it means that, having failed to acknowledge their lack, they then took no steps to remedy it by seeking clarification. Bear in mind that these clowns had unlimited legal advice at their fingertips throughout this period but failed to act. I shudder to think back. From my point of view it’s the holiday-letting industry which demands – and gets – special exemption for its illegal activities. If I had a whole page of The Echo available I might be able to demonstrate how the industry has over the past eight years at least benefitted from a series of diversions and furphies clearly intended to put elected councillors off their stroke and promote inaction. I’m over it; what’s good for the goose ought to be good for the gander. Fast Buck$

Our vision for Reconciliation Our approach to Reconciliation

The National Australia Day Council’s vision is to inspire national pride and spirit to enrich the life of all Australians – including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.

On Australia Day we recognise the unique status of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) peoples. The National Australia Day Council (NADC) is committed to playing a part in the journey of reconciliation by helping all Australians to move forward with a better understanding of our shared past, and importantly how this affects the lives of ATSI peoples today and how we might build a better future together. On Australia Day we recognise the unique status of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. reconciliation action plan

national australia day council

The NADC’s approach to reconciliation is one of leadership. We recognise that some ATSI people and some non-ATSI Australians may have mixed feelings about celebrating this day.

Variety Value has a large range of Australia Day merchandise Yes we are Open Australia Day for s Flags s Umbrella Hats s Sun Hats s Novelty Drink Hard Hats s Table Wear – Napkins, Tablecloths s Australiana Car Accessories s Tattoos And Stickers and much more...

January 26 has multiple meanings: it is Australia Day and it is also, for some, Survival Day or Invasion Day. The NADC acknowledges that the date brings a mixture of celebration and mourning and we believe that the programs presented by the NADC should play a powerful and positive role in advancing reconciliation. The NADC believes that our national day should be authentic and mature where we can celebrate and mourn at the same time. We can honour all that is great about Australia and being Australian, remember the sufferings and our shortcomings, and commit to build a more cohesive and inclusive nation. We do so with an underlying spirit of optimism. We believe that the NADC’s programs play an important role in the symbolic aspects of reconciliation. Acknowledging the contribution of ATSI people and their cultures to our past, present and future.

BEAT THE HEAT A few simple techniques will keep your garden looking great in the heat. Mediterranean herbs: rosemary, oregano, marjoram, thyme and basil, don’t care how hot it gets. Coriander and dill go to seed quickly in summer, so plant where they get a few hours of sun in the morning and shade for the rest of the day. Re-plant every four weeks to ensure a continuous supply.

HA’VELI Ha’veli furniture gallery owner Heidi is passionate about ethical recycling and taking a sustainable philosophy with everything she sources, selects and re-designs making unique pieces of ‘furniture with a history’. Artisan work is collected from desert palaces to island havelis, incorporating silver ethnic bohemia tribal work to industrial urban-style furniture evolving with modern concepts while maintaining individuality and craftsmanship of an organic nature. All pieces are beautifully functional and socially responsible… furniture feels more comfortable. Open 10–5pm 7 days. 1/5 Corner Centennial Circuit & Brigantine Street, A&I Estate, Byron Bay. Phone 6687 2252 www. haveli.net.au.

BYRON DESIGNWORKS At Byron Designworks we stock an eclectic mix of items sourced locally and from around the globe. We have oneoff pieces made by local craftspeople and artists and can arrange for a special item or piece to be made for you. We are always refreshing our stock and aiming to get new and interesting items to help you change, renovate or dress your home. While the summer sale is now over we still have a few pieces of furniture that we are offering at clearance prices to make way for new stock arriving soon. Come in and have a look and you may find that what you are looking for is now up to 40 per cent off.

Loose-leaf varieties of lettuce are more heat tolerant than their hearting cousins, so plant mignonette or oak-leaf types and grow in semi-shade. Marigolds, vincas, portulacas, petunias, hibiscus, frangipanis, allamandas, dipladenias and mandevillas all love the heat. Keep garden beds mulched, water deeply and your garden will continue to shine despite the heat. Open 7 days. 140 Bangalow Rd, Byron Bay. 6685 6874

We are a local Byron Bay family with young children. We developed our beach shades to maximise our family outings, allowing us to spend the whole day at the beach. We then found ourselves using our shade on camping trips (great for the esky and family dog), picnics, barbecues and at home in the backyard as a shaded play area for the little ones. As our family grew so did our need for more shade. Our shades provide over six square metres of ARPANSArated ‘excellent’ sun protection. Their open design allows for natural air flow, essential for those really hot days. They are lightweight and easy to assemble, and come complete with pegs, poles and carry bag.

Formed in the early part of 2005, Van She is a band from Sydney. Unashamedly taking bits and bobs from 80s post-punk, funk and synth-pop, 90s grunge, french house, film scores, 70s krautrock and the latest collection of innovative artists like Tom Vek and M83, Van She is that unique beast that one was beginning to believe no longer existed – a band that takes all these influences from days gone but makes them sound unique, modern, and… fresh. You have recently released your second album in a studio you guys built yourselves. How did this affect the album recording process? In a positive way! We had the flexibility to come and go as we pleased and there’s lots of cool places to eat around it. Are you satisfied with how the album turned out? Is this album your ‘idea of happiness’? Yes, we’re very happy with it. When we play a show and people sing the lyrics, that says more than sales – although the statistics are nice – but that’s not why we do it. Has the reaction to the album Idea of Happiness exceeded your expectations? Wildly! Hopefully it made an exciting birthday or Xmas present for someone. You have been described as electro-pop with disco influence. Is disco a big influence of yours? Yes we all like ‘dance music’. Note: I use the term loosely; salsa is also dance music but to someone that’s obsessed with disco in my opinion would never refer to it as dance music. Disco is more than dance music and although it may sound dated to some the musicianship is incredible. Those guys could really play and play for ages. In answer to your question: we love disco but I’d

say we’re more influenced by what happened after disco than disco itself. With the release of the new album will you still be putting as much effort into Van She Tech? Yes, but we’ve dropped the ‘tech’; it’s all under the same umbrella and our new live show reflects that. We just finished a Boysnoize and a William remix and we’re maybe doing bloody Beetroots next. What do you prefer more – performing your own original music or remixing others’ tracks? Original music hands down.

FIND YOURSELF IN CHURCHILL Kim Churchill is acknowledged for his guitar talents with a unique technique and explosive style shaped by intricate fingerpicking, percussive beats on the body of the guitar, and two-handed tapping intertwined with a 24-inch kick drum, cascading harmonica melodies, and soulful voice. Kim’s musical journey began in 2009, busking and travelling Australia in a campervan to share his music with friends and strangers alike. Since then, he has won the National Youth Folk Artist of the Year award in 2009, been selected from hundreds by the Byron Bay Bluesfest Busker competition in 2010, and has played the main stage each year since then before artists like Bob Dylan, Michael Franti or Ben Harper. The year 2012 saw Kim touring relentlessly worldwide, and he will have played over 300 shows by the end of this year! He plays the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

World’s Best on at Flickerfest – Tiger Boy – is particularly moving and has exceptional performances, so I think this award is very well deserved. I’m also a big fan of Yard Bird, our Australian Best Short Film winner. I’m really excited about the programs we are screening in Bangalow as I think this year’s competition has been our strongest yet. What is it about short How do you compile your Flickerfest films that is so intoxicating, do you program each year? It’s a year-round think? I think it’s that filmmakers can process. Immediately after I finish the be really creative with the form and the festival in Sydney I head off to Clermont story that they are telling. It’s the truly Ferrand Film festival in France; it’s the independent part of the industry, so biggest short-film festival in the world filmmakers aren’t bothered by the usual and it’s where we seek out a lot of our commercial restrictions and pressures and international entries for the upcoming year’s fest. We also do a big general call out can tell stories that they are passionate about in creative ways.

in the competition this year, which I think audiences will really love. A short film called The Tree by Byron local Caroline Fisher was officially selected into competition as part of our Greenflicks Environmental films in Sydney and will be screening as part of the local Byron competition. This is a very accomplished work. Do you think we’re becoming a more film-literate shire? Absolutely, and I think perhaps 16 years of the Flickerfest tour and all of the career development initiatives from Screenworks, ABC Open and others has assisted in developing screen culture and assisting filmmakers to develop their own work, through being exposed to the work of their peers from around the world. What about you Bronwyn – any plans at retiring and making your own shorts? I love Flickerfest so I’m not planning to retire anytime really soon, but I’d really like a bit more time to devote to my own projects and to be spending a lot more time at home in Mullumbimby. My priority this year is to finish Back To Country, a documentary that has been many years in production with the Arakwal people of Byron Bay, a sequel to our previous film Walking With My Sisters, which screened on SBS in 1998. It’s a really inspiring story about their successful native title claim and the positive impact this has had for the whole of the Byron community. What should we be expecting for Flickerfest in Bangalow this year? A jampacked fun weekend of highly entertaining and inspiring shorts over three days and nights and the opportunity to experience of world of great short cinema that audiences of the region would not otherwise get a chance to see. Bangalow A&I Hall Fri–Sun 8.30pm. Opening drinks on Fri at 7.30pm. Byron All Shorts screen on Sat at 4.30pm. Tix available at door or from Barebones Artspace (Bangalow – no BF), Mullum Bookstore (no BF), Planet Corroboree (Byron +BF), All Music and Vision (Ballina, Lismore +BF).

There’s no more Aussie place to celebrate Australia Day than the Billinudgel Pub. This year the Pub presents The Sultans with Josh Taylor from 3pm. Chris Harry takes to the stage at 1pm and Graham ‘Wombat’ Eadie will also have some fun and games for all ages. For a relaxing, fun day in the ‘backyard’ head on down to the Billi Pub.

BLUES PLANTATION FOR THE BREWERY Celebrate Australia Day with local band Blues Plantation at the Brewery, Monday. Sure it’s a few days after the 26th, but it’s good to keep the sentiment rolling. Band members James T (ex Canned Heat), Col Germano, Mick Buckley, Craig Scott and Lenny Reilly promise to deliver dirty blues, country/folk and all mixed up with a heavy lick of good old rock ‘n’ roll. 5pm.

HEY GERONIMO The talented five-piece of Hey Geronimo includes band members Pete Kilroy, Greg Chiapello, Ross HEY GERONIMO AT Pearson, Andrew Stone and Tony THE BEACH HOTEL Garrett and have ON FRIDAY quickly built a loyal following thanks to their smash singles Why Don’t We do Something? and Carbon Affair – two massive indie-pop anthems that have seen their ridiculously catchy, slacker-tinged pop dominate the airwaves and international blogosphere for the past few months. Friday at the Beach Hotel.

SHINE YOUR LAMPLIGHT The Lamplights are a trio who believe that great music is great music, no matter what the genre. This is reflected in their performances – it is evident that the three share a firm belief that quality songs form the foundation of quality performances. With a wide repertoire, the trio’s sound is best described as an organic blend of funk and folk, served with a side of blues, sprinkled liberally with jazz and dished up with a whole lot of heart. Celebrating Australia Day this Saturday at the Rails.

CARTER ROLLINS DOING IT SMOOTH Justin Carter and Johnny Rollins, members of CarterRollins, use the power of vocal harmonies to deliver a full band sound. Whether it’s a rock-and-roll performance or intimate and unplugged, it’s their simple formula that makes it easy to see why the boys are turning so many heads. Excited to take their new songs on the road and into a live environment, CarterRollins packed their bags and got ready for a busy remainder of 2012 where they visited Japan with Donavon Frankenreiter. Sunday at the Rails.

The hands are held flat and pushed together in a vertical prayer formation starting close to the chest at heart level and then extending out towards the conversation See Mandy live at audience. www.echonetdaily.net.au I note that this is a typically Hindu gesture and usually accompanies IS THAT A HAND GESTURE IN YOUR POCKET? Namaste. It is a customary greeting in India, Nepal and even in Japan (OR ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO BELITTLE ME?) when individuals meet and the valediction upon their parting. The Hand gesturing is a curious thing. It’s either culturally inherent or the gesture is called Anjali Mudra or Pranamasana and represents the person making the hand gestures contrives it to actively distribute a belief that there is a divine spark within each of us located in the heart very conscious non-verbal message.

I am going to do it Up until that point the peak aggression of my hand gestures was a reversed peace sign combined with a flick of the wrist that was meant again and again. See me. See me do this.

Many people find that entirely pleasurable so in retroI find it as irritating as the ‘I’ve just been to Bali for two weeks so now spect it seems ineffective as an insult. I do the double cheek kiss’.

KNIGHT AND DAZE AND BAZ

PROXY AT LA LA

Kellie Knight and the Daze are a powerful, highly polished and dynamic north coast-based music outfit who through their mutual love of soul, funk and jazz came together to pay tribute to some of the legendary musicians of these genres. Playing their own homegrown originals combined with an eclectic and carefully chosen blend of dynamic covers, ranging from the sophisticated free form grooves of Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis, through to the exciting soul work-outs of Dee Dee Bridgewater, Stevie Wonder and James Brown, the Daze enjoy delivering the groove. Kellie Knight (vocalist) fronts the band, with her authoritative, powerhouse voice, with fiery and rhythm collective, Keith Hammond (drums) and Paul Brewer (bass), Steve Mcleod on electric guitar, and all-rounder multi-instrumentalist Barry Ferrier on keys, accordion, guitar and vocal. Kellie appears on Wednesday as a duo with Dr Baz and Friday at the Slipway Hotel in Ballina with the full band.

his head. I sometimes wonder if Japanese folk don’t invite people into their modest indoor gardens to marvel at their exotic Jesus-on-thecross sprinkler system. ‘See, it comes out the holes in his hands too!’ I certainly hope so. It would be religious payback. The whole hands-in-prayer Namaste gesture just seems like spiritual pretension. But if you’re going to co-opt other people’s cultural gestures, who not steal a few more? If you want to be polite, do what they do in Tibet and stick out your tongue or in Tuvalu where you put your cheek on someone else’s and sniff deeply saying Mmmmm you smell delicious. You can even pretend to spit on someone’s feet as a way of saying I dig you brother. Funnily enough, in western culture the hands together with fingers pointing is actually called steepling and, while it shows great confidence, body language experts warn that if you are trying to get someone’s trust be careful as it can make you look arrogant. We don’t really have a traditional Aussie greeting so I reckon it’s time we started auditioning a few of our own. Perhaps a fart and a wave of the hand to send it in the direction of another, or a cupcake over the mouth of another for more intense connection, or maybe even a third eye to genital circular gesture illustrating that you like everyone else are a wanker. Now that’s connection, baby.

Pete Murray has a knack for success. It just seems to happen. A talented footballer, he briefly played club rugby and later, at the age of 22, he picked up the guitar, eventually working up the courage to go to a barbecue and sing the songs of Neil Young and Crowded House. At this point, however, he still wanted to pursue a career in sports medicine. But eventually enough people told him that he had the talent to be successful and it turns out they were right.

Making Music with Mr Rudd MAKING HIS WAY HALFWAY AROUND THE GLOBE, XAVIER RUDD IS ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S MOST ICONIC VOICES. I remember seeing him at one of his first Byron gigs, this sweet shoeless surfie boy who shuffled quietly onto stage and took his place behind his guitar and his didge. In a few songs he had the whole place hostage, and he’s been doing that on a world stage ever since. Like his album title Follow the Sun, that’s what Rudd does: he follows his music. The whole process has always been very natural for him. When it comes to making music, Rudd just turns up. ‘It just sort of happens,’ he says. ‘I have never ever sat down and tried to write a song – it’s something that comes up through me in a strong way. It’s not hard to do; it just happens. Quite often it will be a theme – an emotion or spirit or something – that is really strong, and then I’ll sort of construct the music around that theme. It’s more my voice; I’ll sing, but I can hear it all in my head, and then later on I’ll finish off the lyrics.’ ‘I have always let it happen. I respect my music – like I wouldn’t tell my grandmother what to wear to church, my music is the same; it’s an old spirit. I don’t fully understand it, but I don’t let my ego or my mind get in the way; I just host it, and I just let it be what it is. I don’t change it for the sake of what I think it should be.’ When it comes to recording, Rudd takes the same approach. ‘I don’t aim for much, I just record it, and I have

a way that I do things, my setup, and the way I run my instruments, and over the years I have built my whole thing. It is what it is and it’s pretty intricate and unique, and when I record or play live that’s what I use. There’s not too much to it – it’s just about capturing it.’ Rudd has just finished a massive six-month world tour promoting Spirit Bird, his latest release. Autonomy is key for this musician, who refuses to sign on the dotted line of any big-wig record deal. He has taken the world on in his own terms. ‘I guess it’s just an organic evolution. I have always been a lucky artist, I feel. I have a lot of support and it blows me away these days, too, when you have been doing it a while. Once you’ve been on the circuit for 10 years plus there is an element of respect. On the last world tour there was a huge amount of respect for me out on the road; it’s a great space to be in and I am thankful for that.’ It’s a family affair when it comes to a Xavier Rudd concert. ‘Everywhere I go all over the world there is a huge age difference in the people at the gig – kids and young people and older people; it feels like a real family vibe, maybe sometimes the whole family will come out.’ Xavier Rudd will be playing this year’s Bluesfest. For ticketing and program information go to www.bluesfest.com.au.

His first LP, Feeler, reached number one in a few months after its mid-2003 release and his follow-up record, See The Sun, enjoyed a similar level of success. To date Murray has sold over a million records, not bad for a bloke who hadn’t really intended to get into the music game in the first place. Pete is currently touring with his latest project ‘The Byron Sessions’, and appears at the Byron Brewery on Thursday. Ticket info: www.oztix.com. au, 1300 762 545.

By CS Lewis Review by Rowan Fairbairn (age 10) In this story there are four children, two sisters and two brothers who are sent to a country manor to escape the London bombing during the war. They discover a room in the manor that contains only a wardrobe. The youngest, Lucy, being inquisitive, steps into the wardrobe and finds herself in the land of Narnia. In Narnia some of the animals can talk. The land is being ruled by an evil White Witch who one of the brothers, Edmund, makes an alliance with to try and lure the three other children to her. The children discover that they are part of Narnia folklore and they join the animals, including a lion named Aslan, to fight the tyranny of the White Witch and those who follow her. I liked this book mainly because the strengths the children discover they

have during this battle, and also their weaknesses. My mother read this book to me when I was younger but I enjoyed reading it myself as I discovered different things in the story.

them in the wackiest ways. For example when Ethel, the lion from the circus, runs away and the lion tamer needs to bring her back to the circus. The solution: Ethel gets to tame the lion tamer! I find this series amazing and I think you would love them if you read them too.

The Face On The Milk Carton By Caroline B Cooney Review by Bella Fairbairn (age 12) The book starts off with a teenage girl called Janie who lives a fairly ordinary life with her mum, dad and a friendly neighbour, Reeve. Things are going pretty well until she discovers the little girl on the milk carton… it’s her! All of a sudden Janie has entered a new world. She can’t sleep at night and she keeps having strange day-mares of her younger self. Her friends think she’s going insane! But, the worst thing is, she’s starting to think her parents are kidnappers! And who is Jennie Spring? As Janie pieces things together, she keeps getting closer and closer to the alarming truth… When reading this book I found myself drawn into strange but interesting world of Janie’s. It is not a long book and quiet easy to read; however, I recommend it for older children because of the story content.

The Red House By Mark Haddon Review by Alexandra McAuley Mark Haddon is best known for his novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time in which he displays an extraordinary insight into the human psyche – in this case that of a young man with autism spectrum disorder. In his latest novel, The Red House, Haddon continues to question what makes us human, this time through the complexity of family relationships. Set in a remote location on the Welsh border, two estranged siblings and their families reunite after the death of their mother. Thrown into close proximity for seven days, Richard and Angela are challenged to examine their pasts, both individual and shared, with the added complications of four children and two spouses between them, and the inevitable tangle of emotions that arises when near strangers share a confined space. On their journey of recollection, Richard and Angela discover that memories are entirely subjective and that they have both have held onto old resentments based on their personal perspective of childhood events. Richard, a successful hospital consultant, also learns some unpalatable truths about himself; Angela is haunted by the loss of a child; teenage emotions run high as sexual awakenings ebb and flow; and a little boy continues to be enchanted by the mysteries of his own imagination. This is a beautifully crafted novel in which the full gamut of human emotions is exposed: love, passion, hate, jealousy,

and, above all, fear. A highly intelligent and poignant exploration of the lives of an ordinary family written with such a deft and, at times, humorous touch, it is a delightfully easy read.

The Art Of Fielding By Chad Harbach Review by Sebastian Hartford Davis The Art of Fielding was given to me by Diarmuid from Dublin, who had read it on the recommendation of Ed from Melbourne, who in turn had got it from his elder brother. I read it in the UK, and on Saturday I gave it to my little brother in Byron Bay for his 25th birthday. This is a book to buy on the recommendation of someone you respect, or to give to someone you love. Happy birthday, Barns. The first third of the book focusses on Henry Skrimshander, a gifted young baseball player. Sports fans will love reading about a modest, disadvantaged kid who, with the assistance of a big-brother figure, matures into a sporting hero in an American college environment. Many readers of fiction will not be interested in sport. Do not rob yourself by disregarding this novel for that reason. Art of Fielding is Harbach’s debut novel; it took him 10 years to write, and belongs on the shelf of new-age American fiction alongside Eugenides and Franzen. Those who don’t like sport will enjoy a story about adolescence, friendship and love. Others will see wisdom in the way this novel deals with failure, betrayal and grief. Everyone should read this book.

s r a t S WITH LILITH

The sun and Mercury joining Mars in the sign of ingenuity means this entertaining and contradictory Aquarian week hides the odd surprise up its tricky sleeve‌

E ARIES: Rogue originality is one of your premier talents, but this week’s Aquarian trends are asking you to make compromises between independence and teamwork, while Venus in your travel sector has you either on the move or connecting with plenty of interesting out-of-town visitors. F TAURUS: This changeable, stop/go yes/no week could get stressful in your partnership department if you let it, so why let it? Don’t take work worries home, and if home happens to be your office, then make sure you get plenty of refreshing out-and-about time. G GEMINI: There’s plenty of astral energy in your sector of insights and realisations this week, and while you’re not usually keen to disclose deep feelings, those closest will notice changes in you and feel left out unless you share what’s going on. So keep them in the loop. H CANCER: A time of mood-boosting connections, positive prospects and excellent adventures. While some ideas might seem daunting they’re still worth considering, because this week your career and relationships benefit from a fresh approach – which late-week Cancer moon has you busy discussing with the clan. I LEO: This week amps up your majesty’s attraction

factor and brings important new people into your orbit. Personal creativity’s peaking and it’s definitely time to give stale routines the boot, establish what you’re most passionate about and decide how you can do lots more of it. J VIRGO: Random kindness from complete strangers could be more forthcoming this week than support from family and friends – a scenario guaranteed to send most Virgos into the bewilderness. But it’s only a passing phase, so just relax and enjoy all the interesting new people you’re meeting‌ K LIBRA: A social time for air signs, with Librans finding the friendly and collaborative Aquarian influence spirit-lifting – or else driven nuts by its changeable nature. The trick is to enjoy this week’s brilliant inventive flashes and fizzy interactions while not getting upset by its inexplicably complex eccentricities. L SCORPIO: This week pressures you to question your values, expand your parameters and re-examine some of those Scorpionic convictions in the light of ideas that might seem ridiculously out there. As the zodiac’s sleuth you’ll have to figure out are they – or aren’t they – the truth? M SAGITTARIUS: A week of exciting interactions,

culture

stimulating conversations and outrageous brainstorming – also your prime time of year for inspired self-promotion, though conditions, as always, apply – which are scrupulous Saturn insisting that you do two things: get your facts straight and honour obligations. N CAPRICORN: This week’s tearaway Aquarian energy insists on your being open to new ways of doing things. Improvising. Following your instincts and impulses. Forgetting that masochistic no-pain/nogain, life-wasn’t-meant-to-be-easy rot. Right now friends and contacts have heaps of unexpected leads for you. O AQUARIUS: With the planetary triad of sun, Mars and Mercury in Aquarius your radical talents can’t help but shine, so focus on your forte this week: updating something old via the latest innovative technology. Happy birthdays, Uranians – may you always uphold the opposite of conventional, mainstream behaviour. P P ISCES: The astral cafÊ is serving up a stew of promising options, with this week’s Piscean menu featuring a new chapter in your life story, which could see you correcting a past misdemeanour and altering course in a direction more fully aligned with your deeper dreams and capabilities.

Charlton Heston, already showing a fondness for guns, and Linda Harrison starred in the 1968 scifi film Planet of the Apes (ONE HD, Saturday, 8.30pm), based on the 1963 French novel La Planète des singes by Pierre Boulle. It is now regarded as classic of its time and scores a respectable 89 per cent on the Tomatometer. Shame humanity learned little from it. 2. Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here (SBS2, Sunday, 8.30pm) is the story of the making of the 1975 album which went straight to number one in both the UK and the US. Interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason and archive interviews with the late Richard Wright touch on this moving tribute to former band member Syd Barrett, the original songwriter/lead vocalist who died aged 60 in 2006.

Stone’s Grace is a paper-thin cutout compared to Kim Basinger’s damaged call-girl. Is it a trait of post-9/11 cinema that the mainstream will have no truck with nuance? I lost count of the homicides – they came twenty to the dozen. The pity is that the production values are of the highest order (a nocturnal car chase, shot from above, featuring swank Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles, is executed with the greatest technical skill), the art direction is stunning and the performances out of the top shelf, if in an over-stylised way. The narrative hook is nigh impossible to free oneself from‌ but really, will we ever grow out of accepting the ‘might is right’ paradigm? That extreme violence is an unfailing best resort? And why do we lap it up simply because it is presented by celebrities gushing fake blood, with stunt doubles taking all their blows, and then squeal like stuck pigs when it happens on our streets in real life? Enjoyable only for its camp mindlessness. ~ John Campbell

ParaNorman If you’ve only just recovered from the histrionic stodge of Les Miz, and you are not exactly tingling with glee at the looming return to our screens of Quentin Tarantino and his hammerhead ego, you might do your brain a favour

by checking out this charming, pertinent 3D animation. Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee of Romulus fame), is like that kid in The Sixth Sense – he can see dead people. Picked on at junior high for being a freak and befriended by the similarly bullied fat boy (the staple buddy setup in contemporary cartoons, it is surely nearing its use-by date), Norman raises zombies from their graves and leads the good burghers of his township of Blithe Hollow to a regrettable episode in the past where a girl was condemned by the mob and executed for being a witch (the reference to Salem is obvious). The second act of Chris Butler’s screenplay tends to meander – you feel like giving the movie a ‘get on with it’ prod – but beautiful artwork, including a fab car-chase spoof, and astutely drawn characters more than compensate. Norman’s toolshed Dad and frumpy Mom (‘honestly, not believing in the afterlife is like not believing in astrology’) are terrific, but it is Anna Kendrick as his pink-lippied, YouTube space-cadet sister Courtney (‘call me when you’ve got 18,000 hits’) and the lantern-jawed, musclebound jock Mitch (Casey Affleck) who very nearly steal the show. The moral of the tale is clear and simple – be kind and open your heart to those who are not like you, to the Other. It is spelt out boldly and unequivocally, as is always the case in children’s entertainments. Is it not unreasonable to think that, in an overcrowded world with seemingly unbridgeable, widening chasms dividing us all, the approach might also benefit desensitised adults who flock to chic splatter fests that present themselves as sophisticated, cutting-edge cinema? The rapprochement between the wronged little girl and her accusers is a tonic for young and old. ~ John Campbell

back home. Calling on Oscarwinning make-up artist John Chambers (John Goodman) and maverick producer Lester Seigel (Alan Arkin), he forms a Canadian production company with the publicised intention of shooting a sci-fi epic in Iran. The plan is for him to arrive in Teheran and provide the Six with new passports and roles as writer, cameraman, costume designer etc, and then fly them back to Canada. Archival news footage is shrewdly used to establish authenticity (Russia had just invaded the benighted Afghanistan), but some of the best, and lighter moments come

when old stagers Goodman and Arkin are given free rein to take the Mickey out of Hollywood – ‘John Wayne in the ground only six months and look at the mess we’re in!’ In fact, throughout, there is an acute self-awareness of how reality is presented on the screen. A street full of experienced extras can’t quite replicate the frenzied hatred of people manipulated by religious zealots and fuelled by the conviction that all of their social and economic problems are caused by an outsider (America), but this is otherwise fantastic. ~ John Campbell TUESDAY

Argo You need not have been around at the time to know what happens at the end of this movie; its outcome is prefaced in promos and on the poster. And yet, despite being fully cognisant of this, the climax had me on the edge of my seat. In 1979, Iranian revolutionaries, with Ayatollah Khomeini as their spiritual leader, seized power in Teheran. The mob occupied the US Embassy, but six Foreign Office workers fled to the nearby residence of the Canadian ambassador. An introductory explanation of events leading up to these tumultuous times does not try to rewrite history by arguing that the US-backed Shah was anything but an utter bastard. It merely sets the scene for what is a nail-biting, classic escape flick. Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck, who also directed) is the agent who lobbies for ‘the best worst idea that the CIA could come up with’ to get the six Americans 34 January 22, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

By her own admission, Ronit Robbaz is a restless spirit. The woman behind catering company Open Table is telling me how she came to end up not only in Australia but specifically in the Byron Shire. (As she tells it, she ‘didn’t really come to Australia, I came to Byron Bay’.) Born in Israel of Moroccan parents, she completed school, then, after the obligatory two years in the army, set off to explore the world. ‘I had the urge to travel,’ she tells me, ‘to get out of the system’. Brazil, Japan, USA, Korea, India were just some of the countries she travelled; speaking a handful of languages significantly helped. Wherever Ronit ended up she would absorb the various types of cuisine, often in the kitchens of local restaurants. All her life, she tells me, she has been passionate about food, beginning with a mother who was a professional pastry chef. Not only that but her mother was ‘into herbs’, and so Ronit herself ‘was always into the alchemy of herbs’. Open Table was established about twelve years ago, originally as a two-woman enterprise operating out of premises in Myocum. It was a business born out of Ronit’s passion for food and cooking and also as a result of having had that native restlessness subdued by a relationship. She met her partner Rick through yoga, moved onto his property at Myocum and eventually had his child. After two years of mothering she worked for about a year at Middle-Eastern restaurant Khatoush in Byron Bay before realising that she was ready to do her own thing. The granny-flat at Myocum was converted into a commercial kitchen and Ronit and a friend set up Open Table. ‘Catering

really fell in the right category for me,’ she says. ‘It’s not full time; I can travel with or without the family. Its flexible nature suits me – I need to have a lot of freedom.’ After a year the business partner moved to Sydney. ‘I was happy to go it alone at this point,’ Ronit tells me. And since than she has, albeit with a battery of professional staff to back her up, depending on the size of the job. Mediterranean cuisine is her ‘true love’ but actually what she offers is enormously diverse, an amalgam of all her global experiences. ‘I’m really loving fusion food,’ she says. ‘I love fusing tastes, taking some things from the East and mixing them up with Mediterranean.’ What she also loves is the excitement that builds up in a kitchen, the diversity of her work and the different people she meets through it; the fact that cooking is like a canvas upon which you create. I suggest at one point that she’s a bit of a gypsy – she certainly conforms to my idea of one, based on childhood literature, with her flashing black eyes and olive skin and wild beauty. She laughs and agrees. ‘I am a modern-day gypsy, and I still love travelling, being on the road and meeting people. I will travel again‌ I want to go to Turkey in the summer‌ ‘ But back to what brought her here in the first place. It was indirectly through a Byron Bay couple she met in Brazil, who told her about the place, then because of an Italian boy she met in India who was planning to come here. Through such random encounters may our lives dramatically change.

Comment/Pin This Up

In praise of the printed book in the digital age At The Conversation http://theconversation.edu.au Nathan Hollier discusses the value of concentration There is an old saying that anxiety is the enemy of concentration. One of the best pieces of sports journalism I ever read was by Gene Tunney, world heavyweight champion of the 1920s, writing about how reading books helped him stay calm and focused in the lead-up to his most famous fight against former champion Jack Dempsey. While members of Dempsey’s camp ridiculed Tunney for his bookishness, Tunney kept calm, and went on to win. Most of us would feel stressed at the prospect of stepping into the boxing ring, but stress-related illnesses, especially depression and forms of anxiety and attention disorder, are becoming increasingly prevalent, especially in wealthy societies. According to a major 2006 projection of global mortality by Mathers and Loncar, by 2030, unipolar depression will be almost 40 per cent more likely to cause death or disability than heart disease in wealthy societies. Stress can of course have many causes, but in the most general sense, it spreads from factors that impact negatively on focus and concentration. We fear interruption or a surplus of tasks, responsibilities or options to choose, leading to heightened stress levels. The digital age is an age of distraction; and distraction causes stress and weakens concentration. Concentration, as the philosopher William James argued in his classic 1890 work Principles of Psychology, is the most fundamental element of intellectual development. He wrote: The faculty of voluntarily

bringing back a wandering attention over and over again, is the very root of judgement, character, and will … An education which should improve this faculty would be the education par excellence. Concentration is equally important emotionally, as is being increasingly revealed by new research into ‘mindfulness’ and meditation. The inability to focus is associated with depression and anxiety and, amongst other things, an underdeveloped sociability and human empathy. Tests have revealed that people report greater happiness from being effectively focused on what they are doing than from daydreaming on even pleasant topics. How many memoirs include stories of the author surreptitiously reading books by torchlight underneath the blankets, with parents fearful of the child reading too much? (In my case I was reading The Hardy Boys so my mother’s objections were probably justified.) As James Carroll has argued, at its core, reading is ‘the occasion of the encounter with the self ’. In other words, the ultimate object of reading is not to take on information but to absorb and reflect upon it and, in the process, hopefully, form a more developed version of one’s own identity or being. It seems likely that the concentration required and encouraged by books is extremely valuable. Reading books is good for you. And this seems especially so in the case of print books, where a reader is most completely free from distraction.

and experiences they offer to readers. Great oceans of knowledge otherwise only obtainable through tracking down print books or physical archives and records, have become available and, much more easily searchable. Hyperlinks mean readers no longer have to read in a straight line, as it were, but can follow innumerable paths of interest. Web2 technologies enable ‘talking back’ to publishers and media, the formation of groups of readers with common interests, easy (sometimes too easy) sharing of files and other information. Stories can be enriched by animated graphics and interactivity. And so on. No-one in their right mind would imagine that the ereading environment can or should somehow be wound back. Nonetheless, by their nature

e-reading devices facilitate and encourage the constant, inevitably distracting consideration of other reading options, more or less instantly attainable. This is probably their main selling point. Maryanne Wolf has even asked: ‘if the assumption that ‘more’ and ‘faster’ are necessarily better [will] have consequences that radically affect the quality of attention that can transform a word into a thought and a thought into a world of unimagined possibility?’ It is interesting to consider, in light of this possibility that the greatest benefit of reading may come from its capacity to assist in the development of focus and concentration, that the print book may not actually have been superseded or, indeed, be supersede-able. This, I think, is what the novelist, critic, philosopher and communications historian Umberto Eco means when he argues: ‘The book is like the spoon, scissors, the hammer, the wheel. Once invented, it cannot be improved.’ Nathan Hollier is the director of Monash University Publishing at Monash University.

How much wood would the woodchop chop… The final night of events at the Brunswick Heads Woodchop hosted the ever popular ‘Ring Crew’ and their annual Mexican Wave at woodchop competitors. Again one of the highlights of the evening was the Invitation Teams Relay (State of Origin) and the Dave Moss Memorial Trophy. The usual rivalry accompanied the expected banter and Queensland looked to take out the win with an early lead. In the end it came down to the last few seconds on the final leg of the relay to see New South Wales, right, victorious and the trophy stay put south of the border until this time next year at least. Woodchop stalwart Jason Wynyard, and his both beautiful and talented wife Karmen, made the trip across the Tasman for this year’s event. Barely missing a year, the Wynyards now bring their little family with them and are traditionally the reigning king and queen of Brunswick for the weekend, and this year was no different. Karmen was awarded this year’s Women’s Champion of Champions and hubby Jason, pictured left, winning the Tony Kennedy Memorial, the 325mm Standing Block. One just wonders how long before junior Miss Wynyard picks up an axe.

Shane Jordan, above left, had a great chop and finished the weekend as the Men’s Champion of Champions. Shane’s single fourth place, two thirds, two seconds and two firsts, including the 325mm Underhand Australian Championship, clearly put him at the top of the tree. Though they didn’t go home with the State of Origin Trophy, the boys from Queensland, pictured left, still had a few great days at the chop and took home their fair share of wins at the event and a fire in the belly for next year’s SOA. Though an occasional drop refreshed he crowd, over all the the weather was great for the Woodchop which will next year celebrate 54 years. Photos Tree Faerie

Byron Bay pastor pounds pavement for PB By Grace Halfpenny

Local pastor Christiaan Knoetze runs to raise awareness for the C3 Byron FoodCare program he founded with wife Elyse. Both Christiaan and Elyse sold their mobile phones to enable the purchase of one plane ticket and basic accommodation for the pastor to pound the streets of Hobart. The C3 Byron FoodCare initiative began when Elyse and Christiaan noticed how many people were living without basics and, since opening their doors two years ago, the Byron Bay C3 FoodCare is the larg-

est FoodCare distributor in the northern rivers region. The program has assisted many families in Byron Bay. It has distributed hundreds of pallets of food to over two thousand people and provides food parcels to nearly one thousand families a week in the northern rivers. Food care provides free fruit and vegetables, bread, milk and charges a small handling fee only for groceries for people doing it tough; many are low-income workers, injured persons and struggling families.

impossible’, Christiaan focused firstly on stamina to reach his goal to run a marathon, which he achieved last year after running two half-marathons. His second goal was to improve his speed. Running the Cadbury Classic with over 1600 others in Hobart last Sunday, Christiaan beat his last marathon time from two months ago by nearly one hour by finishing the 42.2km in four hours and eighteen minutes and he has exceeded his expectations. At Byron C3 FoodCare everyone is welcome regardless of their belief systems. It has become more than just a service assisting to provide the basics to keep the masses above the poverty line. It is a community meeting point. Many participants gather from 6am

Free coffee and tea are available from 8am and FoodCare opens 9am–12noon and 5–6pm Thursdays on Banksia Drive in the Byron Bay industrial estate. Many of the regulars consider each other friends. Despite the success of providing this essential not-for-profit community service. Christiaan is still in need of a safe commercial van to complete the necessary, sometimes twice-weekly, grocery pickups from Lismore, Brisbane and surrounding areas. Some groceries are sourced from as far as Sydney. The cost of obtaining a new van and transport costs are considerable. Any donations or assistance are greatly appreciated and can be made by visiting the website: www. C3byronbay.com.

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

More should be done for first home buyers, says REIA Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) president Peter Bushby says the November 2012 housing figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) show that the modest response to the interest rate cuts of May, June and October has continued. Housing finance figures for November 2012 show, in trend terms, that the number of finance commitments has increased by a very modest 0.4 per cent, following the 0.5 per cent increase in October. If refinancing is excluded, the increase in trend terms for November is 0.4 per cent, compared to the October increase of 0.6 per cent and is

the smallest increase for the last seven months. ‘In trend terms, increases were recorded in Queensland, Western Australia, Victoria, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory,’ Mr Bushby said. ‘The largest increase was in the Northern Territory, up 2.1 per cent in trend terms while declines were recorded in South Australia (0.6 per cent) and Tasmania (0.5 per cent). ‘Increases were evident for the purchase of new dwellings (up 2.2 per cent in trend terms) and the purchase of established dwellings up by 0.5 per cent in trend terms. The

number of commitments to the construction of dwellings was down 1.4 per cent in trend terms. ‘The major disappointment in the figures is the decline in first home buyers, decreasing to 15.8 per cent in November 2012 compared to 18.7 per cent in October 2012. This is the lowest since July 2004 and compares with the long-run average proportion is 20.2 per cent. ‘Of major concern is the drop in first home buyers to the lowest level in over eight years. This, no doubt, can be attributed to some state governments withdrawing previous levels of support for first home owners buying existing dwellings.’

NSW ‘back in the game of housing’ The NSW government has welcomed the latest indicators that residential building activity is on the increase in NSW. ‘Business confidence in NSW is growing rapidly and is translating into big increases in housing activity across the state,’ planning and infrastructure

www.echo.net.au

minister Brad Hazzard said in a press release. ‘It’s great for the state’s economy and for house hunters. ‘[The recent] ABS figures show the value of new home building activity in NSW increased 17 per cent in the September quarter which is the highest quarterly

result since September 2005. ‘New housing commencements increased by nine per cent over the same period which saw 8,783 dwellings commenced in the September 2012 quarter. ‘There is a new excitement in the NSW building industry which is growing and is highlighted by The Property Council of Australia-ANZ Property Industry Confidence Survey. ‘The Property Council survey identifies confidence in NSW is 18 points higher than Victoria and is higher than the national average. ‘For many years under the former Labor government Victoria was doing much better than NSW and it’s fantastic NSW is back in the game.’ NSW executive director for the Property Council of Australia Glenn Byres said, ‘The government is making good

progress on consolidating its fiscal position, rebooting the planning system and investing on a new wave of infrastructure projects.’ Mr Hazzard said, ‘The NSW government welcomes the positive comments from the Property Council and makes it very clear that we are determined to continue working with the property industry to produce the houses NSW needs. ‘ The NSW government welcomes the increase in building activity on new houses as it continues making planning reforms to provide more homes for families.’

In difďŹ cult economic times it’s a valuable exercise to examine the possibility of increasing your cash income by providing affordable housing for local people. It also serves as community service as well as increasing the value of your property. Our ofďŹ ce has just listed the best property of this type we’ve had for many years. Firstly, it’s located in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Mullumbimby close to farmland and the showground and just over a ten minute walk to the shops (a little over one kilometre). Second, the home is a low maintenance brick dwelling in wonderful condition with 3 bedrooms, a large open plan family area and a big rumpus room. Gardens are easy care and the house has ducted air-conditioning. Now for the big bonus! On a separate title (557m2 block) we have a 90 square metre fully lined garage building with its own bathroom. This premise complies with Council’s minimum oor height requirements and would easily renovate into fully compliant accommodation for granny at, dual occupancy or separately titled dwelling. This block also features a 9m x 6m Colorbond shed with concrete oor and electricity! In short, this property would suit a tradesperson, handyman with lots of toys, anyone with a boat and caravan and too much “stuffâ€? to store in normal property. Or, it is a massive opportunity for anyone wanting a second cash income to help pay the mortgage. We recommend this property for position, exibility and value. You can arrange an inspection through Mark Cochrane Real Estate on 6684 2663. Priced to sell at just $609,000.

News of our upcoming community future forum scheduled for Australia Day has generated a lot of emailed comments, some of it insightful, some of it criticising the format of the forum itself. The health of Byron Bay, especially at party time, is a topic which has resurfaced repeatedly over the last two decades. Backlash suspects that the success of any measures to contain stupidity depends on a greater understanding of our culture by our neighbours on the Gold Coast, many of whom are young men intent on women, beer, partying hard, and violence, not necessarily in that order. Q Q Q Q

The Tweed Byron LAC Facebook page has its eye on the perils of summer fun as well. Last week the police blogger noted: ‘It’s a great time for catching up and partying with friends. But‌ parties can get out of hand and uninvited guests gatecrashing your party can result in severe consequences. This morning on ABC North Coast Radio, our youth liaison officer Senior Constable Mark Harrison was talking about hosting parties, and suggested some simple guidelines that may help to ensure the success of the party. In this broadcast he mentioned the MYNITE website.’ You can find out how to ‘idiot proof ’ your house, stop gatecrashers, and how to register your party with the police at www.mynite.com. au. We also suggest again that you watch out for drink spikers; check out the tips at http:// au.reachout.com/Shaken-notspiked. Q Q Q Q

Activists on the ground got a boost last week when two north coast mayors – Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson and Lismore’s Jenny Dowell – travelled to the Glenugie site to meet with campaigners and send the message that mining companies are just not welcome.
