Businesses move to support Barham Some 137 local businesses have have come out in support of 04-08 mayor Jan Barham in the last week before the council election this Saturday. Organiser of the support, local real estate agent Rose Wanchap, has also arranged a ‘Byron Shire Businesses Meet The Candidates’ meeting for this Friday, 5.30pm-7.30pm, at the Byron Bay Community Centre, and former Northern Star editor Russell Eldridge has agreed to be moderator. ‘Having this many businesses agree to publicly declare their support for a political party or person is nothing short of miraculous,’ Ms Wanchap told The Echo, ‘especially in the business world where aligning oneself with a party can be very detrimental to business. My own businesses depend on public opinion so I was concerned but decided to throw caution to the wind. ‘We should have been having more person to person debates and much more interaction with the candidates. It is too easy to fool the public with the written word but face to face and on the spot questions reveal another side to our prospective candidates. ‘If I was interviewing someone for a job in my ofﬁce, I would certainly ask a lot of questions to ascertain their qualiﬁcations before giving them a job. These guys are

going to get the job with so few questions having been asked.’

‘No time for apathy’ Outgoing Byron Shire councillor Peter Westheimer has said there is no time for apathy or complacency in the upcoming council election this Saturday. ‘Only recently developers approached Council about a high rise Hilton or Sheraton hotel in the Byron Woolworths plaza,’ Mr Westheimer said. ‘Please ﬁnd out which candidates genuinely represent the long term interests of shire residents, our children and future generations. ‘Within the global context of climate change, food shortages and peak oil, we can’t afford to pretend that it’s business as usual in our north coast paradise. ‘It’s time for us to protect our remaining agricultural lands and improve biodiversity. We can help protect our community from global uncertainties by electing councillors who understand the challenges at hand and who will vote for cultural, social, economic and environmental sustainability and have a track record to prove it.’

Aysha Ndiaye, 8, streaks ahead of her friend Ayesha Bruckner, also 8, in the Bungee Fun Run at the Fatherhood Festival in Bangalow on Sunday – Ayesha had her revenge on the next run. A bigger than ever crowd ﬁlled the festival with laughs and hugs and kisses for dads. Family Idol was a huge hit and celebrity judge Damien Leith’s enjoyment of his role was palpable. Mayor Jan Barham and festival director Colin George presented the Bangalow Father of the Thalmann tops ranking Year Award to Nashua dad Alex Peterson. Alex’s wife, Ocean Shores resident Rene Cindy, had nominated her husband for his devoted Thalmann of the Shire Wide Action care and support of his stepdaughter Alex, as well as Group (SWAG) has been ranked continued on page 2

their two sons Jack and Flynn, 11 and six years old. Sixteen year old Alex is brain damaged and requires constant care. Such duty of care, Peterson says, falls primarily on his wife Cindy who he claims is the one who really deserves the award. An emotionally overcome Alex Peterson told The Echo, ‘This was a total surprise to me, I’m quite emotional about it really. It just reminds you what you’ve been through over the years. We don’t ever look for anything in return for caring for Alex but it is really nice to have some recognition.’ Photo Lou Beaumont

Public meeting on Bangalow bypass options

The Bangalow Community Alliance is holding a community forum on Monday September 15 on the subject: ‘Pacific Highway Upgrade proposals: Finding Common Ground’. The forum, to be held at the Bangalow A&I Hall, will begin promptly at 6.30pm and run until 9pm. Residents of the town and hinterland who are affected by the proposed highway upgrades are invited to attend. Facilitated by Mick O’Regan and filmed by Terry Bleakley, the purpose of the forum will be to inform the affected Bangalow community of the findings of the RTA in their recently announced

Environmental Assessement (EA). After a presentation by the RTA’s T2E Project Manager, Toby Heys, on the EA and the scope for a preliminary investigation of a southern bypass, a number of community groups will present their points of view on the subject. Bob Deards will speak for the Bangalow Chamber of Commerce, outlining the findings of their recent survey of 132 members on ﬁve options and impact issues. Speaking for the bangalow 2020 group’s proposal will be Tony Hart and Ian Hay. Members of the Ewingsdale

Progress Association headed by Bob Johnston, with Bangalow residents Chris Shevellar and Jenny Coman, proposed to Byron Council that there be a by-pass built south of Bangalow, which was accepted. Cr Jan Mangleson will speak, as a private individual, on the expected trafﬁc ﬂows of this proposal. Bangalow resident Brian Sundstrom will speak on behalf of those who support a study of a proposed southern bypass. Reg Mills will speak for one aspect of the transport industry affected by the proposed highway continued on page 2

number one candidate in Byron United’s survey. Bangalow businessman Tony Heeson has been ranked top candidate for Mayor. Byron United president Ed Ahern said the survey responses were anonymously assessed and ranked by an independent research agency against BU’s values and objectives. Mr Ahern said the Green Party [sic] had let down Byron Shire’s business community by failing to respond to its independent survey. To read the survey and all candidate responses visit www. byronunited.org.au. Responses from Karin Kolbe and Basil Cameron were incomplete, and could not be ranked, but are also available online. Convenor of the Byron Ballina Greens, John Bailey, said, ‘Anyone looking at the results of the survey would see what a silly exercise it was. They would also appreciate how sensible it was for the Green Councillors to refuse to have anything to do with it. ‘Just looking at the ranking makes it clear that the survey took little account of experience, or knowledge of local government or its procedures. It seems that the sole basis of selection was an

ability to ﬁll out forms. ‘Is Byron United seriously suggesting that Rene Thalmann is the best candidate, or that a total novice, Tony Heeson should be mayor? Probably not. Clearly the only honourable thing Byron United can do is to admit that the survey was ﬂawed and ask voters to ignore it.’

G whiz Group G candidate Karin Kolbe has remarked on the unusual fact she is collecting preferences from both ends of the political spectrum. ‘This shows that both The Greens and Ross Tucker’s team see me as a reasonable person they could work with in Council,’ Ms Kolbe said. ‘Many candidates are talking about working together so I’m delighted to be getting a vote of approval from both sides. I’m looking forward to working on a Council where the middle ground has a strong voice and will weigh up facts above ideology. Voting for real independents will secure that.’ Kolbe said her preferences are to Cameron and Morrisey, and then to The Greens.

Group divided

the council election this Saturday, have taken a minority view opposed to the new site for the Splendour festival. They say they met recently with representatives of North Byron Shire Parklands to share their views. ‘We represent the members of the community who are not in favour of the proposal,’ Ivey and Arthur say. ‘We don’t need an inﬂux of people coming to a festival site in the north of the shire, especially in such a sensitive area as the animal corridor coming from Mount Warning to the coast. The land forms part of an ancient traditional pathway that has been proposed for world heritage listing. ‘We believe that having 20,000 people coming to the north of Byron Shire will radically change the experience for residents living in the shire’s northern villages, impacting negatively on our community and bringing associated problems which Byron township currently endures.’

upgrades. Other directly affected community members will also speak. ‘The idea is to see whether the community of Bangalow can identify issues around the proposed highway upgrades on which it can ﬁnd common ground,’ said BCA member Christopher Sanderson. ‘As with all our other forums, this one will provide a constructive channel where community members can be informed, and air concerns.’ For more information on the BCA Forum, please contact Christopher Sanderson

6687 2244, or Terry Bleakley 6687 2525. In related news the Bangalow 2020 group said, ‘The southern bypass debate has been overly inﬂuenced by a small group of Bangalow residents with a genuine trafﬁc problem. ‘Bangalow 2020 believes that full balanced community consultation is the only way by which the RTA’s study will achieve the correct solution. ‘People of Bangalow are in for a very nasty shock when they realise what is about to befall them. The impact of the T2E Freeway will be

immense in visual, noise and pollution senses. For example, there are residences on Clover Hill Estate that will have unacceptable noise levels even with 4.5m to 5m high barrier walls. ‘A bypass in this southern location would only add to the fracas. ‘It would require a full expressway interchange, right on the edge of town, bigger than that now at Ewingsdale, condemning Bangalow to a future as a regional transport hub instead of a uniquely beautiful, and individual, cultural heritage town.’

Story & photo Lou Beaumont The GetUp Climate Torch Relay has been touring across Australia for six weeks during August and September through rural towns and capital cities in every state and territory and will end up at Parliament House on September 21. Along the route, local communities, including Mullumbimby, hosted legs of the relay which calls on our leaders to halve Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green-

house pollution by 2020. Arranged to coincide with the climate relay, Santos also hosted a presentation by the Wilderness Society last Saturday. Representatives from the Tasmanian ofďŹ ces of the Wilderness Society and the Tasmanian Conservation Council spoke about the role of our natural forests in carbon storage and how inadequate our current policies are in their ability to protect these assets. A more in depth report

will follow in The Echo. The Climate Torch Relay came to Mullumbimby on September 6 where members of the local community organised a leg of the relay and acted as torch-bearers. Residents, activists, Solar Neighbourhood Program participants and members of the Beyond Building Energy team made their way through the streets of Mullumbimby where solar panel installations have been completed.

The group proudly walked together to Santos where the torch was handed over to Mayor Jan Barham. Created by the designers of the Sydney Olympic Torch, the Climate Torch is a symbol of our national determination to avert dangerous climate change. The torch itself features solar power, a wind turbine, people power, and a lemon battery. To follow the relay, visit www.climatetorch.com.

Meeting calls for review on festivals policy Over 200 people attended a public meeting in Ocean Shores on Sunday calling on the Byron Shire Council to include in their LEP a policy requiring all large festivals to be held on community owned and controlled land rather than on private festival sites. The meeting also called on the Minister for Local Government to investigate the assessment report prepared by Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning department in the approval process. The meeting was addressed by speakers who warned the

community about the adverse effects of mega festivals on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyles, property values and local amenities. One of the speakers, Chris Coady, a member of the bush ďŹ re brigade at Yelgun, asked, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;how a single festival could be deemed to be a trial for a development that sought to hold up to ten festivals a year with up to 70,000 attending each festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. There were 15 council candidates present at the meeting, all of them giving support for the meetings aims to stop the Yelgun site

from proceeding with the exception of Cr Ross Tucker who defended his decision to vote for the festival proceeding in 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;as a trialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Jan Barham confirmed her opposition to the Yelgun site but when pressed by Tandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lane resident, John Bailey, on her policy regarding the Tyagarah site proposed by the Blues Festival, stressed that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;her responsibilities as Mayor required her to wait for the DA to be submitted before she could assess its meritsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;With the meeting unani-

mously calling for a policy outlawing large events to be held on private festival sites throughout the shire, we now hope that if adopted by the new council, we will have a policy that sets a clear direction for promoters and Councillors to in future work with the community on this issue,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said the meetings convenor Mac Nicolson. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The community throughout the Shire is increasingly disturbed by the increasing size and number of large festivals inflicted upon us.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Splendour at the money given Hans Lovejoy ‘You don’t know how many rafﬂe tickets we’d have to sell to get this sort of money!’ This was the reaction by treasurer Pam McRae to a $28,000 donation to the Byron Bay Hospital Auxiliary this week by Splendour in the Grass organisers. Cheques were handed to both the hospital and the Wildlife Information and Rescue Service (WIRES), as beneﬁciaries of funds raised through a $2 per ticket contribution from this year’s festival. The annual Community Grants Program total this year was $35,000, with WIRES receiving $7,000. Over the last eight years, Splendour In the Grass has donated $205,000 towards local groups through the program, according to organisers. ‘In addition this year, one of Splendour’s onsite restaurants, Guzman y Gomez, ran their own fundraising campaign and managed to raise an additional $1,100 to be split between the two organisations,’ festival organiser Darcy Condon told The Echo. Byron Bay hospital currently has one operating theatre, and the new machines mean a better equipped hospital. ‘The money has helped us

secure a Electrosurgical Generator and an Argon Plasma Coagulation Unit,’ nurse manager Keryn York told The Echo. ‘Patients previously had to travel to Lismore for this machine, and with this new addition, they can now stay in town.’ The equipment is used in diathermy (electrically induced heat treatment), removal of growths and to control and limit heavy bleeding.

‘This has also been made possible by the generosity of other community groups such as the Lions Club, RSL, Bowls club, among others,’ Ms York said. ‘Our community is so incredibly supportive of the hospital, hence we have a very good hospital because of it.’ Honorary secretary Maureen Weir said the Splendour donation was a wonderful boost for the auxiliary. ‘We

would like to express our most deepest appreciation. The fact that the Guzman y Gomez restaurant has also done some fundraising for our cause is great news as well.’ WIRES NR fundraising coordinator Sharon McGrigor was thrilled with the Splendour grant. ‘We are very excited about this donation and to hear that there is some additional funding from the café is a great bonus. I can’t begin to say how much this means to our wildlife organisation and the critters we care for.’ The money will go towards funding an educational awareness project and the building of a new rehabilitation enclosure required for the intensive care of Byron Shire’s threatened species, such as squirrel gliders, pademelons, and whiptail wallabies. Medical supplies, specialised milk formulas, portable rescue and care hospital enclosures and digital static display units will also be funded for the Byron area, according to WIRES. Apart from the Community Grants Program, Splendour also contributes to various other groups and schools by way of direct donation or through the provision of festival tickets for use in rafﬂes and fundraisers.

Jan Barham teams up with NRCF Director John Bennett and Vice-Chair Lucy Ashley.

Story & photo Lou Beaumont The Northern Rivers Community Fo u n d a t i o n (NRCF) is an independent philanthropic foundation that provides sustainable and long term benefit to the Northern Rivers community. Now, the NRCF have developed a subgroup to their foundation, the Byron Shire Community Foundation. As the name suggests, the BSCF has been set up specifically to raise funds for the Byron Shire, and the NRCF plans to do the same for other Shires within the Northern Rivers. NRCF Director John Bennett told The Echo, ‘By creating a fund specific to the Byron Shire we hope to bring together people and businesses in a common goal. Money that is donated to the fund from this area is reinvested in the area, closing the loop. ‘It is important to note too, that money that is donated to the Foundation is pooled with all other donations. That capital remains there in perpetuity as we use only the interest earned to invest in the needs of the community.’ Jan Barham, keen to find a way to make it easier for

people to give to such an important community fund, approached directors John Bennett and Dr Peter Bowen about a payroll deduction scheme whereby employees in the Shire authorise a regular donation to be taken from their salaries. Signing up to the scheme is completely voluntary, the donations can be as low as $2 and are, of course, tax deductible. The scheme creates a convenient way of regularly contributing to the community. Byron Shire Council is taking the lead and is currently rolling out this initiative to their employees. Barham said, ‘I know this community is generous but we needed a way to make it easy for people to donate. For the most part we are so fortunate here and it is easy to forget that this region does struggle. ‘There is a lot of need here and the NRCF have been able to assist so many people in really positive programs that support our local community. I will be making a regular weekly contribution from my pay packet to the BSCF.’ Jane Heynes, Managing

Director of JHA Recruitment, was quick to embrace the initiative. JHA provides Byron Shire Council with their temporary staff, as well as other regional councils and local businesses. They have committed to a payroll deduction scheme within the company and JHA will also match their employees’ donations dollar for dollar. Heynes told The Echo, ‘We were looking for a way to support the NRCF for some time so when they told us about Council signing up with a payroll deduction scheme we decided to instigate the same here. By matching our staff donations we are giving extra incentive to both our workers and JHA.’ John Welsh of the Optus Stores in Byron Bay and Lismore and David Gordon of Elders Real Estate Byron Bay have also made generous contributions to the newly formed BSCF. If you wish to ﬁnd out more about the NRCF, BSCF or how you can donate or participate in a payroll deduction scheme, you can contact the foundation on 6621 9996 or visit www.nrcf.org.au.

BEACON This is a critical time for our community with climate change causing environmental degradation and threatening our children’s future Byron Shire Council is set to adopt a number of strategic plans crucial to our future, so it is vital to elect Councillors committed to their implementation.

It is so important to elect Councillors who will commit to: Ensuring a sense of community, and protecting rural and residential amenity from being overwhelmed by tourists, festival goers or overdevelopment Keeping growth to that identiﬁed in the 2007 State Regional Strategy, with no new Gold Coast like suburbs or higher rise development for the Shire. Decision making with a longterm vision for the good of the community as a whole – not short term or sectional interests. Coastal management with ‘planned retreat’– not rock walls and temporary multi-million dollar artiﬁcial beaches. Protecting native vegetation and wildlife corridors and supporting landowners to manage them. Choose from the following candidates as they are most likely to deliver positive outcomes on these issues

ABOVE THE LINE: NUMBER 1, 2, 3 and 4: (in your preferred order)

GROUPS : A (The Greens) and B (Our Sustainable Future) and C (Community Independents) and G (Kolbe Independents) OR: BELOW THE LINE: CHOOSE at least 10 people from: GROUPS A, B, C and G, John Lazarus and A. Gattenhof FOR MAYOR: VOTE 1 JAN BARHAM

Mullumbimby GP Dr Suresh (Surendranath Vithalrao Rananavare) has been found guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct by the NSW Medical Board following the death of a local woman on September 5, 2005. Disha Schluter died from an ectopic pregnancy which was misdiagnosed as gastroenteritis, according to the Board. After being discharged from Mullumbimby Hospital, she died later that night at her home in Wilsons Creek. In its ﬁnding, the Professional Standards Committee stated that Dr Suresh ‘has been guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct within the meaning of section 36 of the Act in that he has demonstrated that the knowl-

edge, skill or judgement possessed, or care exercised, by him the practice of medicine is signiﬁcantly below standard reasonably expected of a practitioner of an equivalent level of training or experience.’ The Committee ordered that Dr Suresh be reprimanded and be required to undertake an emergency life support course or similar course approved by the medical board. He is also required to have a medical practitioner act as his professional mentor. In his defence Dr Suresh told the Medical Board, ‘I was dealing with a number of patients, including three difﬁcult cases. One patient was suspected of cardiac failure, while another required

urgent attention as she was complaining of chest pain and hyperventilating. In addition, an elderly patient was brought in with a difﬁcult fracture of the knee.’ Dr Suresh also added that he was of the view that he made a ‘serious error’ in not evaluating the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. The case is currently under appeal as Dr Suresh claims evidence was omitted in the original hearing. ‘I was denied my right to provide evidence of my 40 years of experience and standing within the community,’ he said. ‘I have been Visiting Medical Ofﬁcer for more than 30 years – the most senior VMO – appointed by the Northern Rivers Area Health Service.’

‘I am distressed and shattered,’ Dr Suresh told The Echo. A friend of Ms Schluter’s family, local celebrant Zenith Virago, told The Echo that all the family wanted in bringing the case was an apology from Dr Suresh. Ms Virago said an apology was possible under no-fault civil liberty law. ‘The family has declined to pursue a lawsuit against Dr Suresh but would really like a public or personal apology from him,’ Ms Virago said. ‘This can help heal the big wound created – not only for them, but also for him and the whole community of Mullumbimby.’ Ms Schluter died three years ago this week.

Get your ideas in for Brunswick Sk8park Sk8Brunswick is delighted with the news that the Operational Plan for Stan Thompson Oval, which incorporates the proposed skatepark, was adopted at Council at its ﬁnal meeting. This now paves the way for the designer to start work to design something very special for our youth who have been waiting since 2000. At the Skatepark Forum held on August 9, the

location (in front of the soccer ﬁeld) and the shape (long and thin) were explained. ‘It won’t be as big as the Mullum skatepark, but if we are very creative, we can make it just as good,’ said Matthew Denehy, chair of Sh8Brunswick and current president of the Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce. The kids have already requested a bowl or half bowl as well as lots of excit-

ing street skating challenges. Matthew’s business, Eagle Insurance Brokers, has donated a $50 voucher from Brunswick Surf for the best idea or concept submitted. Entry forms with a template of the skatepark’s shape and location are available at the Brunswick Heads Public School and at the Brunswick Surf shop. Some ideas have been

submitted and many great ideas are still expected but entries close on Friday. Once the draft design is ready the Sk8Brunswick Taskforce will bring everyone together for another forum to ﬁnetune the design before it goes on public exhibition. It is hoped to begin work at the end of January 09 for completion in time for a launch in Youth Week in April.

Comment

The first casualty of politics Michael McDonald To paraphrase US Senator Hiram Warren Johnson (1866-1945) – his legacy now revived by the Governator of California – the first casualty of politics is truth. At local government election time, the wounds to truth seen at the local field hospital manifest as misinformation, half-truths, myths, errors of omission and downright fantasy. It’s almost a massacre this year. It was business lobby group Byron United which came out shooting first. Before declaring an impartial need to find the best candidates, BU’s high priest Ed Ahern crowned Jan Barham The Mayor of No. No wonder the Greens didn’t feel like filling out the BU survey. Would Ross Tucker feel similarly inclined if he had been singled out for the treatment? Byron’s board could have saved a lot of money – it will be interesting to see which members put up the dosh for the expensive campaign – by simply having a chat with the candidates and seeing which folks most accord with their ‘values’. As it is they now have an incomplete take in a survey which, in essence, shows that some candidates are good at filling out surveys.

More Meaningless glib promises

And then after years of sniping while the mayor was trying to chair meetings, Bob Tardif seeks to assume the mantle of reason during his latest shift of power base in order to cling onto office. In a letter to the editor this week he explains that his disaffection with Jan Barham was because ‘it quickly became apparent that Jan was no longer allowed the luxury of voting outside the Greens party line dictated by Ian Cohen and the NSW Greens Party head office in Sydney’. Anyone who has ever observed Barham and the Greens in action would know this is manifestly untrue. Barham is definitely her own woman and it is an insult to the intelligence to suggest otherwise. Other wounds to truth

assume the quality of folk legend. The Greens have had control of the council. Oh come on – have those who suggest this ever been to a council meeting and observed the voting patterns or, heaven forbid, are they just promoting their own interests? The greenish councillors often voted to different agendas. All councillors often voted unanimously – there certainly hasn’t been much obstruction from any councillor of whatever political leaning to getting ‘infrastructure’ items under way. There is the enduring myth that a change of councillors will get more things done. Councillors make policy – executive power lies with the general manager who controls his or her

fiefdom. It is a division which works well for the state government in curbing local political power. Many of the promises candidates seek to fulﬁl will founder on the rock of bureaucratic delay or just won’t ﬁt into a small budget. I wish candidates wouldn’t make promises – it taps into the primitive and erroneous yearning for a white knight in shining armour to make things right. What councillors can do is enact planning policy which will hold out the development Visigoths – at least until the state planning Uber-Visigoth has his way. One of the most insidious injuries to truth is the notion that candidates will adhere to the promises and values they espouse prior to election. Some will, some won’t. The average punter must use his/her own intuition – a toss of a coin might be just as effective – or adhere to the advice of friends or political pundits to make a choice. After that it is eternal vigilance for the next four years, pushing to get the changes you want to see. Democracy is like that – it just doesn’t end in a vote. At least it doesn’t involve a real war to get a result.

bit higher than 10 percent. Australia signed up and polling showed that the electorate was generally willing to pay the price. But the business community most deﬁnitely wasn’t and commissioned various doom and gloom reports which claimed to show that such cuts would bankrupt numerous companies and send many others off shore – precisely the kind of threats we used to hear whenever tariff reductions were mooted. This was bullshit then and it’s probably bullshit now, but merely putting the argument has enabled business to suggest that what we really have is an either-or argument. Forget the science, ignore the horrendous risks involved: there is a simple choice. We can go along with the wild-eyed greenies and return to the caves or we can support our patriotic industrialists and maintain our standards of living. But whatever happens we mustn’t get ahead of the rest of the world, because if we do we will be at a competitive disadvantage.

rise of three degrees Celsius by the end of the century, with (among many others) the aforementioned consequences for Australia. Garnaut’s target makes a series of assumptions about both the international and Australian communities, the main one being that each is lying. At the Bali conference at which Australia finally committed to the Kyoto protocol, the European Community secured general agreement that the world should aim to stabilise its emissions not at 550ppm, but at 450ppm. This would hold the predicted temperature rise down by about 1 degree, which doesn’t sound much but would be sufﬁcient to avoid the kind of catastrophic climate change we are now facing. But of course there would be an economic cost: it would require a 25 percent cut in emissions by 2020 and 90 percent by 2050, with carbon prices rising to $60 per tonne. Interestingly, the additional fall in national productivity would be minimal: about a half of one percent.

We are now the worst per capita polluter on the planet, and gold medal winners tend to be noticed…

Candidates for election tend to form alliances, or ‘natural affinities’ if you like, for the purposes of preference sharing, so at least someone of like philosophical values gets across the line even if their own hopes fall at the last hurdle. So it is for the Byron Shire council election. This year two streams of alliances have formed and are best illustrated by Ross Tucker’s Group F how-to-vote leaflet. He begins by preferencing the ALP (Group E) and then on to Group H (SWAG), Group D (Jan Mangleson), and finally Group G (Karin Kolbe), who Ross would see as the least likely of the progressive bloc to get across the line. The economist John K Galbraith allegedly once remarked that the rightwing commentator William F Buckley was useful because if he took a certain position Galbraith would know to take the opposite; those in favour of Jan Barham or similar candidates could do likewise by preferencing A, B, C, G or I. (One of the strangest alliances is Bob Tardif, president of the Byron Bay ALP branch, cosying up to Ross Tucker, who regularly hands out National Party material at polling booths, but I suppose weirder things have happened in politics.) Rather than voting above the line, however, it is better to pick and choose below the line and number all 36 boxes. Among the Greens new candidate Simon Richardson offers a voice for youth among a predominantly middle-aged lot, as does Eka Darvill of Our Sustainable Future. The bicycle- and train-keen Karin Kolbe of Group G is an encouragement to voters who want more women on council. Basil Cameron of Group C impresses with his knowledge of planning law and commitment to hard work. In the mayoral vote it will go down to the wire between incumbent mayor Jan Barham and longserving deputy mayor Ross Tucker. Once again number all boxes in your order of preference. Mayor Barham deserves to be reelected. She has been an incredibly hard worker and is more pragmatic than the other Greens apart from Tom Tabart. She understands the power plays of Macquarie Street, has listened intently to the concerns of youth and mixed in across a wide social spectrum as part of her job. Above all she has fought hard to interweave the principles of sustainability through council policy. In the end it is sustainability – ‘conserving an ecological balance by avoiding depletion of natural resources’ – which matters most. There is no ordered caretaking of roads, rates and rubbish if the Shire has been swept away by environmental catastrophe caused by climate change, overconsumption, overdevelopment or pollution.

This is essentially the Brendan Nelson approach, which is seriously flawed for a number of reasons. For starters it ignores the fact that large slices of the world, particularly Europe, have already got a long way ahead of us in emission reductions, because they didn’t spend the whole of the last decade in a John Howard-like state of denial. The big polluters saw what was coming and have been busily cleaning up their act. In Australia, by contrast, it has been business as usual. And the do-nothing-yetand-not-much-ever approach, as favoured by Brendan Nelson, continues the myth that because Australia’s total emissions hardly count in the world context, what we do doesn’t matter. This is simply untrue: we are now the worst per capita polluter on the planet, and gold medal winners tend to be noticed, as was obvious when we finally ratified Kyoto. And of course, the idea that the industrialised countries like Australia should wait for the developing countries like India to commit to reductions before they lift a finger is preposterous: if the people who made the mess in the first place can’t be bothered to start cleaning it up, why should anyone else? Far from providing an excuse for timidity, Australia’s situation actually makes it ideally placed to take a lead. Garnaut may be right: it may be too late and too difficult, and we’re all stuffed. But at least we can have a go. If Kevin Rudd truly represents the reforming centre of politics, this is precisely the time to make reform the central issue.

Political alliances

At the Copenhagen conference the Kyoto countries reafﬁrmed the target and set the developed countries an aspirational target for emission reductions of 25 to 40 percent by 2020. Of course not all of them expected to meet the target, but at least they were prepared to aim a

through the carbon tax. Overall, economic activity would decrease by just 1 percent by 2020. So in spite of the predictable screams by the business community, economically it should be affordable. The real cost is to the environment: a likely temperature

olitics, they say, is the art of the possible. But what they don’t add is that the possible, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. An idea may be rejected as utterly unachievable by one politician only to be embraced as an exciting challenge by another. Thus Professor Ross Garnaut’s conclusion that the best Australia can manage in the ﬁght against climate change is a policy that condemns both the Great Barrier Reef and the Murray-Darling system to extinction was never going to gain universal acceptance. Garnaut is deeply pessimistic about the future; there is, he says, only a slender chance that humanity can get it all together and none at all that the nations of the world will reach a consensus to cut greenhouse gas emissions enough to avoid catastrophic climate change. In the circumstances the only practical option for Australia is to pursue a global agreement to stabilise concentrations in the atmosphere at 550 parts per million, an overall increase of about 25 percent on today’s figure. In Australia’s case this would leave Kevin Rudd’s promise of a 60 percent cut in carbon emissions by 2050 intact, but would mean a reduction of only 5 percent, or at most 10 percent, by 2020. This could be achieved through an initial carbon price of $20 per tonne in 2010, increasing slowly but steadily to about $35 per tonne. Petrol would rise by about 5 cents a litre and electricity bills to consumers by about 40 percent, but compensation would be paid with the money raised

■ On behalf of the Board of Byron United, I sincerely thank those Byron United members and community representatives who supported our campaign in the past ﬁve weeks, voiced their concerns about the issues we’ve raised and backed our call for a new direction in Council. With more than 360 members, we are one of the largest member-based organisations in Byron Shire. We consider ourselves to have a strong voice in the community – and take that role seriously. We don’t believe business should be considered separate to community. That’s why we spearhead community initiatives like Clean Up Byron, the aerosol and indigenous art program, Carols by the Sea and the Byron Bay Christmas Tree. This election campaign was another Byron United initiative aimed at ensuring long-term, balanced prosperity for our community. We have run a campaign based on the issues identiﬁed by our members in previous surveys, and the results of Council’s 2007 Community Survey We have published all candidate responses on our web site – uncensored. All responses were assessed and ranked independently and anonymously We contracted the services of a research agency outside the shire to minimise any risk of political bias. The campaign was funded by donations from interested members. Separate to our candidate rankings, I encourage you to read through all the candidate survey responses and be informed when you lodge your vote on September 13. These responses are available at www.byronunited.org. au. I’m sure you’ll agree

there are some fantastic suggestions and recommendations that, if backed by the voters, will ensure the next four years return real beneﬁts for our community. You will ﬁnd no responses or comments from the Green Party on our website. All Green candidates chose not to engage with or respond to us. It begs the question: Is they how they plan to treat the business community in the next four years? I can only hope our incoming Council is more committed to listening to – and engaging with – all community groups. The sooner Council embraces and works with our business community, the better. Ed Ahern

President Byron United ■ When I last visited Byron Bay I heard about and saw some of the great innovations of the local council, with Jan Barham as Mayor. For example, the Byron Council’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy which should be emulated by every local government is Australia. I’ve known Jan for twenty years and appreciate the work she has given to gain a national reputation for Byron Bay as a leader in environmental and social considerations. Come election day, I hope the voters of Byron Shire endorse Jan’s local and national leadership by returning her and her team to Council. Senator Bob Brown

Leader of the Australian Greens ■ Which candidate will readers favour with their vote next Saturday? My own experience was that after being favoured in a by-election ten years ago, the next

16 months was such hell that when it came to going for re-election I felt so nauseous that I pulled out; no way could I subject myself to four more years. From what I’ve seen and heard nothing has changed in the interim that would make a passionate councillor’s life any easier. A lot of residents don’t understand the way a council works. You have the permanent staff who, for quite a good salary, are supposed to gather and analyse background information on the basis of which they make their recommendations. Then you have the elected councillors who work for peanuts and whose function is to bring matters before the council that concern the residents, and to make decisions on the basis of information presented by staff. My understanding is that right now there is a backlog of resolutions which haven’t been enacted.You don’t hear Ross Tucker harassing the staff over this, so maybe he’s not that demonstrative himself. I frequently caught Ross Tucker smirking to himself at councillors’ stupidity and I saw him doing so in July over the Splendour vote. I mean Bob Tardif spoke against Splendour at Yelgun and then voted in favor of it! It’s not a good look. The permanent staff hold the elected councillors in contempt and frankly I can understand why. It’s a pity though that at every election hard-won experience is lost as councillors decide to get a life and the next bunch of gullible novices moves in; the staff culture meanwhile is constant, ever learning new ways to bullshit their supposed masters. Jan Barham has a passion and perceptiveness equal to any. It seems to me that if Jan is silly enough to put up

Coorabell ■ Fast Buck$ missed registering (but is still deﬁant). Belongil beachfront residents of renown campaign against planned retreat as a Green conspiracy to rob them of their rights to armour their bit of coast, bugger the rest. They of course support a candidate who doesn’t believe in global warming. Sports ﬁelds and Splendour dominate the north while burghers of Byron bemoan a lack of a bypass and repair of road to the lighthouse. Unregulated holiday letting is both the big disruption for the community and big push for property speculators. Meanwhile upcountry angry Mainarmers want to drop Greens – for Tucker? Honest oldies mumbling ‘better the devil you know for mayor’. Days out and it is a maelstrom.

Don’t punish the whole shire by putting Ross (‘The Leopard’) Tucker in the Mayor’s seat. Only if you want such divisiveness and confrontation that the sacking of the council is the likely outcome would you vote for that bloke. As for Bob Tardif, my former best mate on council, please put him out to pasture. He’s now using the Labor party to direct preferences to Tucker, having done a shameless Tom Wilson. Yuk! He needs time out for reﬂection and healing. The Labor party meanwhile has some explaining to do.

difference is the fact that while Ross’s Council was busy spending money it didn’t have and incurring massive debt, this Council’s spending has been carefully managed and is within budget; there has also been a good deal of planning for the future, something largely overlooked from 91-95. Byron United’s propaganda should be seen for what it is: a gross misrepresentation of this Council’s record and a blatant attempt to have people elect candidates who will put the interests of business ﬁrst, at the expense of the environment and residential amenity and putting our current ﬁnancial sustainability at risk. I hope people will see through the propaganda and Ian Cohen MLC beware the candidates they Broken Head are promoting.

The political rat award has to go to ALP preferencing Tucker to cut out Jan Barham before we even contemplate ALP’s electricity privatisation. Blame the elected councillors but think, it is the staff that prioritises, ﬁxes roads and processes applications, councillors create policy and priorities. The exquisite nature of our system, the elected represents have to take the blame. We just got rid of John Howard but those critical of perceived failures and swallowing big moneyed campaign propaganda could well elect his equivalent locally. Now that’s trendsetting Byron Shire for you.

■ Have members of the local ALP branch actually thought through the implications of preferencing Ross Tucker in the council election? If The Greens were to reciprocate nationally in 2010, a handful of ALP backbenchers would face a Turnbull led Republican/Green government and Kev 07 would be a one-term wonder out on his very tasty ear. The documentary Rats in the Ranks clearly spells out the dangers of wild preference deals in local politics. If members of the ALP care, they will not support the politically engineered mutation that is Country Labor on Saturday. Giovanni Ebono

■ Thanks to The Echo for its comprehensive coverage of the coming Council election – your commentary, the letters and the ads. Inevitably a couple of last week’s letter writers played fast and loose with the truth – perhaps the lengthy offering from John Vaughan was the best example – but Warren Simmons’s list of the 91-95 Council’s achievements might have impressed some who were not here when Ross Tucker held sway. Jan Barham has put together a similar summary for the current Council but the big difference is that while Ross’s Council apparently did quite a lot, some of it was to the detriment of the community – notably the ﬁre sale of Council’s properties in Byron Bay, including the former Chambers, and the ousting of the Library to help pay for the ever-more expensive new Chambers in Mullumbimby.

ments and voting patterns over the years. Bob would put the average catwalk stomper to shame with the speed of his wardrobe changes. He even ditched his own local party (mischievously named B-Can) in order to play with the big boys. I, of course, have a vested interest in all this. I head up Our Sustainable Future, one of the small locally-based parties created exclusively to support local candidates in a local government election. It has a comprehensive, documented policy platform which sets out in detail our social, environmental and economic objectives within a sustainable future, see www. osf.org.au . Unlike most other parties, both big and small, OSF policies are also speciﬁcally tailored to the issues confronting Byron Shire. My comment about the need to establish the merits of the individual candidate applies no less to Our Sustainable Future. We believe that in Patrick Morrisey we have an excellent and very able potential councillor. It’s up to you to do your homework and prove us right.

Mangleson stuck to her unpopular Splendour stance, hanging on to some threads of perceived merit of Splendour at Yelgun, and not revealing why she ignores her community’s wishes. Petroff has demonstrated in OSCA her opinionated and dictatorial approach, presiding over verbal attacks on members who disagree with the inner clique – it would be more than annoying to have her in Council. Thank god we could ﬁnd hope in more intelligent, inclusive and sustainable wisdom of Patrick Morrisey, Basil Cameron and Karin Kolbe. Even Jan Barham is redeeming herself having had a sudden awakening to the Planning and Environment contraventions by Splendour... surprisingly just in time for the elections! John Lazarus is rising to the mayoral occasion, putting community and culture high on his checklist. Impressive was newcomer of the Greens group, Simon Richardson who, along with including youth in consultative processes, promotes a governance which replaces dinosaur divisive attacks with Hugh Ermacora respectful and unitive coopOSF President eration... good luck Simon!

During their reign at the Star,Tucker/Ross has offered us truly insightful observations on Jan Barham including ‘the crows feet and worry lines were beginning to deepen on her face’ and ‘it is a shame she is losing all these great features as the unhappy lines begin to show’. Tucker/ Ross also objected to photos of Jan ‘lifting her skirt to reveal her beautiful legs’. Clearly women and politics don’t mix in Star-world! The Tucker/Ross StarWorld offer other illuminating insights including: ‘Global Warming is a scientiﬁc fraud and piping coastal water inland is a great concept’, and ‘they came up with the sewer moratorium to halt development’. On coastal retreat, ‘the Gold Coast has no problems because it protected the shoreline’. On WorkChoices ‘these new workplace reforms are the best thing that has happened to employers and employees in all my years in business’. On energy, ‘nuclear fuel is the cleanest and cheapest power we will ever see in our lifetime’. On lifestyle, ‘Australians are living in great times, a drive around the Gold Coast waterways proves this, rows and rows of gigantic houses stocked with new cars and electronics and consumer goods.’ If you want a Shire in the image of these men, vote 1 Ross Tucker for mayor – or better still join Harold over the border where you’ll probably feel more at home, far away from all things naturally green and forested!

Letters just what attracted them to this area in the ďŹ rst place. Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you move to the Goldie or Tweed or the Sunshine Coast rather than here? I would suggest it was because in Byron you saw something rather unique, an area blessed with fantastic beaches, fertile agricultural land, a stunning hinterland and a vibrant culture with an eclectic bunch of people, and all still relatively intact. Over the years there have been enough concerned people who have spoken out and fought for what Byron is now. The battles have ranged from No Jet Port at Tyagarah, a height limitation on buildings (ie no high rise), no Club Med, a moratorium on development until the sewage treatment works were bought up to scratch and the sacking of a general manager who had no regard as to how allocated funds were spent, to name just a few. Without concerned people speaking out for the shire they love, the scenery would be very different. The same pressures exist in Byron for gross, crass development as they do on the Gold Coast. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that, to this point, they have been checked by a community sensible enough to elect a series of councils which reďŹ&#x201A;ects their views. So, I would suggest for all those who would like to keep Byron unique, that they carefully consider for whom they vote, because the wolves are at the door. From my observation, Jan Barham has done an excellent job in leading this council. She is extremely proactive and dedicated to the cause. With her as Mayor and with councillors elected from groups A, B, C, G and I, the future of the shire will be in good hands for the next four years. With the issue of electing the best person for the job now settled, we need to work out how we can get the state government to butt out of local government concerns. Hmm, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another story. Ian Hosken

Mullumbimby â&#x2013; I ďŹ nd it disappointing that our local ex-military candidate for mayor Ross Tucker displays a clear voting record on Council for many years that never supports any measures to forestall or minimise potential climate change damage in the Shire or forward plan for a more sustainable future along this vulnerable coast. He is obviously unaware of the US military taking this issue so seriously, still preferring like far too many people to see all this as some weird â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;watermelon conspiracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. While it is not the only matter we should be considering when poised with our pencils over

our ballot papers on the 13th, it is one that any intelligent person in this critical era realises must be addressed for our long term future. I am also then disenchanted by some associates and friends involved in organisations like Byron United who seem to be tacitly supporting candidates with blinkers on these issues, and with some disregard for their long term voting history and publicly declared positions. The Greens and other progressives are not perfect. I believe all political sides these days are far too ideological for the common good, but, in the very real case scenario we now face on the planet I would feel more secure for my children and grandchildren to have elected representatives who deeply consider the big issues of climate and sustainable living as part of a comprehensive forward plan, and not just the potholes and plot lines of an inevitably ďŹ&#x201A;awed local government system. It takes courage to ďŹ&#x201A;y in the face of the status quo and the conventional wisdom of the same old way of doing things expressed even in our Shire by our relatively enlightened business community. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural to protect your own soil, but, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do just that, in community, in true unity.

have to make our choices. The Greens have matured and have acted carefully and responsibly. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tucker Boxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deďŹ cit which they inherited has been cleared. Their record is one of consistency, honesty and adherence to high moral principles. My daughter is an environmental scientist who has informed me of the peril we face from global warming/ climate change. Ross Tucker may believe we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to worry about it but we have to act now. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out to be a problem we will at least live in a cleaner, healthier world. However all the indications are that we have no time to waste. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equally sad to see â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;One Vote Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, who snuck in on Tom Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail, is now apparently Labor, when once he was green but really as you read this is morphing into another Tucker. At one of the meetings of the candidates at Suffolk Park this week Tonto Heeson appeared as Number Two to The Lone Ranger, Ross Tucker. Tonto didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have a clue what policies Kemo Sabay had in his saddlebags or indeed any idea of what concerned The Community. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can I get back to you on that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Greens have the experience and can clearly be trusted.

And while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the subject, let us remember that the Jim Mangleson who is now advocating that the shire develop the Roundhouse site as a cultural centre is the same Jim Mangleson who forced the ratepayers to buy it from him and his partner Mark Cochrane in the ďŹ rst place. At the time they were asked to donate it to the shire as an Aboriginal Centre but they refused and took the money. Perhaps Mangleson could now offer to return some of his proďŹ t to start his new pet project. It would be more convincing than simply sharing his ticket with an Aboriginal. But overall, nothing that has happened during the somewhat tepid campaign has changed the initial impression: in spite of the protestations of the business group Byron United it is a contest between their man Ross Tucker with his team of pro-development browns who are interested in the bottom line, and Jan Barham and her allies in the preservationist Greens who want to hold out against the white shoe brigade. So to sleep well at night, for mayor vote Barham and for council, above the line for groups A,B and C. Then, if you want to go on, groups G and I, with daylight next before groups H, F, D and E

â&#x2013; First up, I was wrong about John Lazarus: he has obviously undergone a Damascene conversion and is now on the side of dogs and their owners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well, at least some of them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still not convinced that he is the ideal councillor, but I owe him an apology. On the other hand Tina Petroff owes me one: Jenny and I are meticulous about picking up after our dogs at Lions Lookout, or anywhere else and we also regularly pick up other dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; droppings. However, we draw the line at the human excrement left behind by other users of her self-proclaimed achievement. Perhaps Tina could have a word with some of them. Which brings me to the wider issues we all face on Saturday. Voters should remember the dark ages: 1991 to 1995, when Ross Tucker had the numbers on council and his mate Mad Max (Eastcott) was general manager. The team left us a legacy of extravagance and deceit which took more than a decade to clean up. For Tucker and his supporters (whom he preposterously calls â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;independentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) now to be running on a platform of good governance and transparency is the sheerest humbug.

COMMUNITY ACTION NETWORK If we are not careful at Saturday’s election we could end up with a swing back to another right-wing Council, dominated by Ross Tucker. Those who remember the 1991 to 1995 over-development Council and the $7 million debt left by that Council will surely not want this to happen again. We therefore must elect a Mayor and Councillors who are committed to achieving a sustainable future for ourselves and generations to come. To those who have recently arrived in Byron Shire remember why you came to this wonderful area, and don’t allow a right-wing Council with its wish to scrap height and density controls and its disregard for the environment to take control again. For a sustainable future – care for the environment and not another Gold Coast we suggest you follow the CAN how to vote recommendations.

Ocean Shores ■ In the run-up to next Saturday’s election it has been disappointing to have noted only a few passing references to the proposed new hospital to be built in our Shire. After many years of lobbying and bureaucratic ‘investigation’ the NSW government entered into a contract in December 2006 to buy six hectares of land at Ewingsdale . This contract is subject to the land being rezoned for hospital purposes and an application to rezone was lodged with Council early in 2007 only to be stonewalled with the excuse that nothing will be done until the Shirewide LEP is adopted. In other words, the ‘kiss of death’. What chance have we of having an LEP adopted by a Council that has not being capable of establishing a sports ﬁeld in ten years? Or a by-pass in 20 years? Whatever it is that a Council planner does it is blatantly obvious that planning for future basic community

infrastructure is not in the job description. Perhaps obstruction and lack of interest from elected members is the problem. While our two small existing hospitals are doing a magniﬁcent job in difﬁcult circumstances, vital services are continually drained away (eg no child can be admitted to a hospital in Byron Shire) with the excuse that neither hospital is large enough to support services which would be a given at the proposed larger central hospital. What has been most disappointing from the community’s point of view has been the lack of will from our elected representatives to promote this vital project, coupled with their apparent lack of concern and a willingness to jeopardise it through their inactivity. Any candidate looking for a high vote-catcher should give an undertaking to support the establishment of the new hospital as a very high priority. Tony McCabe

Byron Bay ■ Having wasted a great deal of my time perusing what our stunning array of candidates had on offer in the community letters sec-

In fact, I think they could all beneﬁt from sitting in the corner during recess and having a good, long think about their conduct. And while I’m at it, why is nobody concerned about my needs? I am the father of a family of television-loving couch potatoes and we are disappointed by the fact that not one candidate has stood up and outed themselves as a Doctor Who fan. That’s right, not angry, just disappointed. Albert Moses

Mullumbimby ■ There are Machiavellian deeds afoot in the north of the Shire. The long standing issue of sports fields has been recognised as a considerable threat to the current majority grouping on Council. Recently, the Splendour issue has polarised northern voters against any decision to allow successful passage of the oneoff Splendour trial DA through Council. The vote in favour was carried under strange circumstances. Previous votes on this issue were supported by the

Mayor, although decisions were deferred as a number of technical points were subject to further scrutiny. Finally the matter was put to Council immediately prior to the election. Strange things happened. The Mayor voted against approval and Cr Westheimer, a noted adversary of the Splendour in the Grass location, voted in favour. This left Tucker, Mangleson and Tardif like shags on a rock, to face the wrath of the North Shire community. Suddenly, ﬂyers are found in letter boxes, warning voters of the dire consequences of voting for the three errant, remaining, pro Splendour councillors (Westheimer is not seeking re-election) and included poor Tina Petroff, who had no part in the voting procedure. These ﬂyers then proceeded to advocate election of the requisite number of councillors from a huge list of ‘Green’ orientated candidates. People of the northern precincts, don’t be fooled by the effectively networked Greens effort to win another election on preferences. Another four years of Greens dominated Council will be a disaster for the community north of the Brunswick continued overleaf

So your vote is vital if you want to have a say in this important issue.

have come to the conclusion that Groups A, B, C and G come closest to supporting community issues in Suffolk Park. Groups D, E, H and I did not send a representative to address the community – their absence indicates their priorities. All candidates present expressed support for not rezoning the BP land to allow for a shopping centre and not reclassifying the Caravan Park to operational. There was also strong support by all candidates for regulation with regards to holiday letting. All of these issues are important to the residents of Suffolk Park. As mayoral candidate we see Jan Barham as the only choice as she has actively worked to support the local Suffolk Park community and her experience will be invaluable in guiding the issues that arise from consideration of the new LEP.

Ross Tucker was a powerful force in the council which almost drove us broke – he has little credibility to be mayor now.

Electoral Commission ‘misses point’ The Electoral Commission has missed the point on local government election costs, say the Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW. ‘This is not about the state government making a proﬁt, it is about a blatant cost shift on to NSW ratepayers,’ President of the Local Government Association of NSW, Cr Genia McCaffery said. ‘Ratepayers are being forced to fork out millions of dollars to run the 2008 local government elections. ‘The state government is pushing a far greater share of the Electoral Commission’s costs on to councils. Precious funds required to provide services to communities will now have to be diverted to pay the costs.’ President of the Shires Association, Cr Bruce Miller, said there were questions about the nature of some of the costs. ‘The costs have sky rocketed with councils getting quotes several times more than the 2004 elections,’ Cr Miller said. ‘The Commissioner says the State Government is simply covering the “real costs” of running the elections, but there still

hasn’t been adequate explanation and ratepayers will be hit twice through state taxes and rates. ‘The state government is trying to take NSW communities for a ride and we are continuing to seek advice.’ For its part, the NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) has published the ﬁndings of an independent report into the methodology it used to set the costs of the 2008 local government elections. The Review of Local Government Election Pricing, conducted by independent auditors Walter Turnbull, found that the accounting systems employed by the NSWEC to capture and apportion costs were ‘fair and equitable’. The report concluded that the NSWEC correctly captured all the associated costs and apportioned them fairly). It noted that the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) model used at the 2007 State Election has been adjusted to remove activities that are not relevant for a local government election. ‘The Local Government and Shires Association has

falsely claimed that these elections are a proﬁt-making venture.This report endorses our method of establishing and recovering the true cost of these elections,’ said NSW Electoral Commissioner Colin Barry. The review also found that more than $7m was not being recovered from local councils, including capital equipment provided from the 2007 State General Election; roll maintenance costs paid annually to the Commonwealth; and development costs for an Election Management system that helps collate results. ‘This should put an end to claims of cost shifting by the LGSA. Voters can have every confidence that the NSWEC will continue to improve the transparency of local government elections by removing the hidden costs and providing councils with a budget that reflects the cost of delivering professional electoral services to 4.5 million voters across NSW,’ said Mr Barry. The Review of Local Government Election Pricing is available online at www.elections.nsw.gov.au under the Media Centre link.

How this young Mullumbimby couple made millions in just 5 years, using some very simple investment techniques that anyone can follow... I bet you’ve never heard about these amazing investment principals. Firstly, let me stress that I’m not talking about a ‘get rich quick’ scheme, I don’t believe in those. You know the ones? You’ve probably seen the ads that claim to have you making millions in the blink of an eye! This is not one of them! This is actually very realistic and very achievable for anyone. What I need to share with you is my strategy for creating wealth and lifestyle because not so long ago I was just like any normal person, busting my butt to make ends meet and getting no-where fast. I was stuck on the treadmill of life, working horrendous hours with no time left for my family or things I enjoy doing. I knew I had to make my money work for me if I wanted to be financially secure later in life, but each step I took forward seemed to have me working harder to get there. What eventually drove me to succeed was a strong determination NOT to struggle financially like my parents had and today thanks to a simple investment strategy I have a wonderful life. Today my family and I have complete Financial Freedom. So why then do I feel a need to share my knowledge with you? That’s simple. I know how hard it was for me to accomplish the lifestyle I now have without a mentor to help me do it. I learnt the hard way, from my own mistakes and not some millionaire before me. A mentor is someone who has already achieved what you are wanting to achieve yourself. Someone who you can learn from, look up to, and lean on while you learn, because we all go through times when we just need somebody to steer us in the right direction. Now I don’t profess to having any special intelligence so I know that if I can achieve what I have, then anybody can, and there is nothing that completes me more these days than watching someone truly change their life and achieve financial freedom with my guidance. It gives me such a sense of fulfilment and satisfaction. Something else I didn’t have when I started was a lot of money, but through using the right investment strategy I was able to generate an impressive income using small amounts of cash that eventually allowed me to build a portfolio that not only has my partner Frea and I set up for life, but our two children as well. I have devised some strategies that have created a lifestyle for me, and I would like to invite you to be part of a group of people who I am going to show a wonderful way to boost your income with less stress and difficulty than you may currently be experiencing. And the best part is, you don’t need lots of money to get started. So let me ask you something… How would you describe your life right now? Could you enjoy a lifestyle that allows you all of the time and money to do whatever you want, when you want? Like go on a holiday to your favourite destination, stay at the best resort, and not worry about the cost, only which cocktail you’ll have when you get there. Anyone with desire can achieve success, and in this 4 hour program I will show you. I have done all the hard work in locating, testing and selecting the best investment strategies. To do this on your own would take years, and I know first hand because that is how I had to learn. I will show you what I learnt about investing: x How to Make Money Even When Share Prices Go Down! x Why 93% of Australians are either slaves to the bank or slaves to their jobs—and how to make sure this doesn’t become your life story. x How to change your attitude towards money (because the funny thing is—when you change your thoughts, you change your results!). How to make investing your hobby (but a hobby that could earn you thousands of dollars… or perhaps replace your current income.

x How to do the opposite of what most people do on the stock market—and potentially make an absolute fortune. x Minimise the risk of investing in shares (so that you can sleep at night, even if your shares go down in value… you don’t have to worry)! x The silly things to avoid—that most people do when trading shares. x See how you can buy shares… of some of the biggest companies in Australia… for just a fraction of what they’re really worth! (You could control thousands of dollars worth of Blue Chip shares for only a few hundred dollars)! x Find out how to donate more money to your favourite charity (don’t worry you’ll be shown how to earn so much more, so donating more money will be a walk in the park).

What others thought about this program... “This was the clearest most down to earth, informative presentation on any subject in my 40 year corporate life, I have experienced. It is refreshing to come across such a person as Jules who has the enviable talent to give excitement and humour, coupled with a nononsense presentation. Jules is a person of rare unselfishness and has changed my nervous opinion of trading the market, to one of optimism! Peter Beard—Uki, NSW “I’ve just closed my first trade since doing your course. I started small—spent $2,300 and made an extra $1400 in 5 days.” Greg Crawford—Coutts Crossing, NSW “Last Friday I bought ZFX Puts and this morning sold them for a profit of $4,680. How cool is that. Thank you so much!” Wayne Clanachan—Murwillumbah, NSW “”Just a quick message to let you know, I traded WPL last week & exited the trade 60% up in 24 hours. It was nice to be profiting amongst all the stock market gloom & doom. I found the experience profound & confirm that your system really does work!”. John Forsythe—Currumbin Valley, QLD “I just wanted to thank you for being the catalyst for major change in Dean & our lives. We were going nowhere financially before we met you. It was your influence and way of thinking that has helped change how we are doing things financially. We just signed contracts to buy our first home. This was an unachievable dream to us 2 years ago!” Liz Winter & Dean Giddy—Mullumbimby, NSW “I traded my first option contract the other day and received a 100% return on my investment in 2 days. Unreal! I’m going on another holiday!” Ariel Tobey—Coffs Harbour, NSW “I have been over the moon with the results I’ve been having after attending your program. In a 24 hour period I made $19,729 clear proft”. Jill Llewelyn-Smith—Upper Orara, NSW “I have been trading full time for over 18 months. I love it and trading loves me! Now I trade at home. I can attend to my horses throughout the day—a real pleasure for me. I have to say that thanks to your seminar, I now have the boost I needed to leave 34 years of a profession that was not kind to me. My health has improved dramatically. I am now 40 kilos lighter. I love my life.” Karen Storey—Tyalgum, NSW “Fantastic seminar. My last experience was Tony Robbins—more hype than anything else. Yours was personal & I didn’t feel left up in the air & confused. Awesome!!” Kate Collier—Coramba, NSW “Just thought I’d let you know how my first trade went. I bought 3 calls last week at 94c and sold them this morning for $1.54. That’s $1,800 profit. 63.8% in less than a week. Thanks a million.” Deahne Rushforth—Korora, NSW

Articles Wannabes have their minute in the spotlight John Campbell We were agog at being chosen as TV extras, but nervous as kittens when we arrived at the set. Everywhere we saw people roaming around muttering to themselves, some quite agitatedly. Closer observation revealed that they were communicating with each other via tiny mikes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and not, as we feared, escapees from a loony bin. The crewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hierarchy seemed to be determined by the size of their walkie-talkies and the clutter of accoutrements dangling from their belts. In baseball caps and with rafďŹ sh stubbles, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d all mastered the tech-head swagger that would have you believe they are NASA engineers and not just blokes who gaffer-tape wires to poles and have learnt at TAFE what sockets to plug them into. Our group was small, but the camaraderie of showbiz welded us together instantly. The Glamour, there to be discovered, was all lippy and cleavage. She spent most of her time texting and snapping sly pictures with her mobile phone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the number of which I must have written down incorrectly when she told me. Dead Man Walking had that tail-wagging affability which branded him as the victim if any of us were rostered to be killed. You know the type â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you can pick them straight off when the humble hero leads the patrol into enemy territory. The Veteran was the only one among us with form â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;resumĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, as preferred. He enthralled us with tales from his career in the proximity of greatness.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You remember in Two Hands, when Heath goes to Bondi and dives into the surf because he thinks he sees Rose in the water â&#x20AC;Ś?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Turns out the Veteran was in the water too, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually see him in the shot. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cut,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he explained with understandable pride. We were in awe of his ďŹ rstnames familiarity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was the sort of raconteur who would have known Doris Day before she was a virgin. After his stories ran out we sat for ages doing nothing other than gossip about the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stars whenever we got a decko at them. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Geez, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fatter in real life,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; mused Cat Carer, a little too loud for comfort as one glided by. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the dressing gown,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I whispered. All of the actors wore them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the terry towelling numbers that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to pinch from a ďŹ ve- star hotel if ever you could afford to stay in one. Presumably to protect them from the elements, as though they were brittle Romanoffs, the coddled look also added to the loony bin ambience. Eventually our wrangler summoned us, but not before

Faerie Queene was told that she would later be called upon to deliver a line when an artificial storm breaks. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Was that thunder?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meant to be ejaculated from our mob like the immortal â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;look, up in the sky!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But ďŹ rst our crowd scene. We were to wander nonchalantly, following designated paths. It was not unlike a crossover move from Origin that I once saw Joey Johns orchestrate in his halcyon days of drug and alcohol bacchanals. A simple routine but we botched it big time. The Veteran, with the Glamour in tow, took off like the clappers and held his course with martial resolve. Dead Man Walking and Faerie Queene, eyes glazed and silently repeating the words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;was that thunder?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, came barrelling in from the left. Cat Carer, spellbound and rudderless, was ogling the Star in our midst. The result was a train wreck in slo-mo but, troupers that we now were, we persisted and nailed it on the ďŹ fth take. A stampede followed the call to lunch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like intense creativity to put an edge on your appetite.

Dining was al fresco, under an open marquee, with the arrangement of long tables indicating that we would all muck in together. With the wisdom of Uncle Tom, the Veteran warned against impropriety. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is a set etiquette to observe,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he counselled, familiar with the upstairs/ downstairs feeding formality. We waited our turn, like pickininnies at the station gate. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Etiquette my eye, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m as hungry as them.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Faerie Queene ignored the ancienne rĂŠgime and made an assault on the vat of gnocchi â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when it comes to equality the old mollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart is shockingly egalitarian. She sat alone, hoeing into her tucker and swatting over â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;was that thunder?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We resumed duties, stuffed with cheese sauce, the cockamamy world of entertainment at our feet. It was time for the storm scene. The director cued the sound effects guys. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Quiet on set! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Camera rolling â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;And â&#x20AC;Ś action!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Faerie Queeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big moment approached. An almighty clap of thunder split the atmos. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fuck! What was that!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she shrieked. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cut!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wearing sunglasses! But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not blind when it comes to the ďŹ rstclass quality of their products. For blinds, security doors, screens, awnings and patio covers for homes and businesses call the blind man for a quote. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right!

Letters

Candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ďŹ nal letters before the vote â&#x2013; Do you want a couple of Councillors who know when to say Yes and when to say No? Yes to our local community that wants small-scale, sustainable development with the returns spread among many. NO to big developers who want to concrete our Coast and pocket the Gold. Yes to local and regional artists, musicians, performers and creators. No to party-town promoters who want to pack our towns and country ďŹ&#x201A;oor to ceiling with party animals. Yes to quality, family-oriented tourism that values our unique gifts and respects our local neighbourhoods. No to bulk exploitation and rogue holidaylet operators who treat neighbours as nuisances standing in the way of proďŹ ts. If you share our vision for a community that values one another and our environment above proďŹ t, then I invite you to vote for Group I, John Lazarus and Adrian Gattenhof, below the line. Adrian Gattenhof

Mullumbimby â&#x2013; How audacious for Ross Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saturday Star (August â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08) to suggest Bob Tardif â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Labor Party team â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;look set to capture the middle groundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the election.Yes, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keen to give punters that impression. But given his voting record, Tardif appears as deeply conservative as all the candidates Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newspaper is supporting. Our Sustainable Future on the other hand seeks to bridge the gap between the ideologues on both sides of the chamber with better decisions and more balanced outcomes. We support a skilled facilitator, specialising in local economic development, available in all ďŹ ve shire towns every week to assist all residents achieve their ideas for income generation and value adding, be it making drums out of camphor laurel or post cards from banana leaves, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your ideas that will be the focus. If you want more of the same polarised decision making in the chamber, which results in

poorer decisions that Council staff have to implement, vote for the same crowd bickering now. If you want a Councillor with a proven track record of getting results for communities, and focused on proactive and balanced outcomes, votes for Our Sustainable Future, our future depends on it. Patrick Morrisey

Goonengerry â&#x2013; Greens and progressives were euphoric when the new councillors took their seats at the ďŹ rst Council meeting after the last election. The big disapointment at that ďŹ rst Council meeting was watching Bob Tardif, who had been given the Green preferences, vote with the developer block. He has continued again and again throughout the duration of this Council to vote that way. There are a lot of good independent green/progressive people this time standing for Council and if you know for sure who you are voting for thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ne, but if there is any doubt at all you could end up being taken in like lots of people were last time in voting for Tardif â&#x20AC;&#x201C; vote Green, the future of the Shire especially Byron Bay depends on it. By the way Greens do support business people, always have, they are a large part of the community and most vote green/ progressive. I have a business very dependent on tourism, tourists are drawn to this place because of its green ethics. Maggi Luke

Byron Bay â&#x2013; I am a GP working in Ocean Shores. Like many country GPs, I see the health impact of planning and infrastructure policies. This past summer saw an alarming incidence of Ross River Virus (RRV) and Barmah Forest Virus (BFV) in the north of the Shire (South Golden, New Brighton, Ocean Shores). These viruses are spread by mosquitoes, which are seasonally prevalent in the Shire due to favourable breeding habi-

"FGLCQC LRGOSCQ

tats, particularly fresh-water courses. A few years ago Council had the opportunity to implement a Mosquito Management Plan, which might have reduced the annual incidence of RRV and BFV in the Shire. SigniďŹ cantly, it was Cr Ross Tucker who opposed the motion. Today, Byron Council has no Mosquito Management Plan. This is the same Ross Tucker who is ďŹ rmly on the record rejecting the reality of climate change, and the impact that this might have for local policy planning. Councillor candidate Patrick Morrisey (Group B) has stated that he will pursue the implementation of a mosquito management plan within four weeks of being elected, and I will be assisting Patrick should he be elected. I encourage you to give Patrick the opportunity, by voting above the line for Group B on September 13. David Moss

Skinners Shoot â&#x2013; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m bored with dinosaur politics and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not alone. Dinosaur politics is the politics of division and derision. The old way of thinking that to get your way you need to yell the loudest, be the most aggressive and beat your enemies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the politics of the schoolyard bully. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all too easy to say the greens mob are only for the environment and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for business and Ross Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mob is all for business and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care less for the environment, because when it is all said and done, potential councillors of all ideological shades have more in common than they differ. Attempts to ďŹ nd solutions for our Shire are much easier if we stop looking at things as always black or white, and accept that most times there is grey. If elected, I will respond to all issues with an open mind and an open heart. I will seek to ďŹ nd solutions and I will speak to, and treat all fellow councillors with respect and conciliation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to put dinosaur politics in the dustbin of this Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Ocean Shores â&#x2013; My reason for voting yes for the Splendour trial at Yelgun/ Wooyung: A couple of weeks prior to the debate, state government had issued an advice to all councils in NSW to support the arts and culture whereever possible. A day was booked for the Land and Environment Court in case of refusal. In my heart I was convinced that approval would be given by the court. Council had imposed 48 pages of conditions on the trial and had the Land and Environment Court approved the trial, it would not have had the same amount of care taken with the conditions, and maybe it would not have been approved just for a trial but rather an approved event site. We would have lost much needed fees associated with the development application, and we would have given away our planning powers yet again. We must not do this! It is important to make the difďŹ cult decisions and retain our planning powers, our funding and control of the development applications. Diane Woods

decision against the people! While the Ocean Link may not be known to many outside Ocean Shores, it is the most logical and the only ďŹ&#x201A;at connection link from the OS town centre to any of the villages north linking with New Brighton, South Golden Beach, North Ocean Shores, Billinudgel and potentially the Tweed. I have made a ďŹ rm commitment, that if elected, a comprehensive shirewide walk and cycleway network will be my No1 priority.

Policy statement We face challenging times as climate change impacts on daily life, planning powers are taken over by the state and responsibilities such as affordable housing are transferred to local government at a time when the financial resources of local government are stretched. The Greens have made a long term commitment to the environmental and social amenity of the shire and the development of a sustainable economy. We have delivered a responsible and innovative program. There has been positive and proactive policy to provide for the protection of our natural environment, enhancement of our social and cultural life and support and encouragement of innovative and important industries such as agriculture and the creative industries as well as management of the tourism industry. This strong platform will guide the shire’s future with action taken on climate change, affordable housing, biodiversity protection and tourism as well as delivery on infrastructure and services for the residents. The future of the shire depends on the ongoing commitment of those who have the vision and experience to follow through with the planning that has been developed. Council is now in a strong financial position after the retirement of the $7m debt. We have secured loans to provide for the upgrade of infrastructure and provide new facilities. The protection of our beautiful environment and biodiversity has been a priority and will continue to be an important part of our quality of life and our economy. The social and cultural attributes of our shire are at risk. Council has developed strategies to support the community with facilities for recreation as well as the provision of affordable housing. The Greens will continue to take action on climate change to protect future generations. Our financial security provides for the delivery of a new library and community facilities, the completion of the Brunswick STP, delivery on an adopted Bike Plan, provision of affordable housing, new sports fields in the north and south of the shire, implementation of sustainable tourism management, support for a transport system that includes ongoing lobbying for the return of the trains as well as the upgrade of services and facilities to provide for community safety and support for our cultural diversity. See more at www.byronballinagreens.org

Simon Richardson is a resident of Federal and currently a secondary school English and History teacher. A former editor of Tribe Magazine, Simon has a passionate interest in ensuring a stronger voice for youth and artists in the Shire.

Helped form the local greens group in 1992, have been a candidate for all levels of government attaining my only success in Byron 04. With looks belying my age I am ready for another go. Richard Staples – I’m going for a fourth term because so many people appreciate the work I do and the positions I have taken. If re-elected I will continue to play a role in the struggle to clean up our waterways and protect fresh water resources. The Dunoon Dam is not necessary given coherent demand management of water.

Policy statement

Our Sustainable Future has developed 8 key policy areas. 1. Social Equity and Cohesion, 2. Enhanced Ecosystems and Sustainable Natural Resource Management, 3.Sustainable Economic Development, 4. Sustainable Population Growth and Tourism, 5. Balanced Infrastructure Development, 6. Cultural Identity and Heritage, 7. Effective Management and 8. Effective Governance. These are all elaborated on on our website www.osf.org.au. OSF Vision Statement: A socially resilient and economically viable community which, in partnership with a highly professional and accountable council, ensures ecological sustainability and cooperative solutions to community issues based on mutual respect. Patrick’s vision: Once again Byron Shire appears at a crossroads. We can either design our own future or have our future designed for us. Residents’ expectations for quality services, combined with pressure from tourism has placed considerable stress on our limited resources. If climate change and rising energy costs are added to the mix, we are indeed facing some important challenges. We believe that managing growth and adapting this growth to align with the various issues associated with service delivery will be our main focus if elected. A new and reviewed suite of planning tools need to be woven into a sustainable thread, strong enough to maintain our current diverse culture and quality of life. A new LEP that includes Rural Settlement, Rural Roads Hierarchy, Tourism, Biodiversity and Greenhouse Action Strategies and new Cultural and Bike Plans, all need to be synthesised in a way that is genuinely inclusive of our existing and diverse community proﬁle in the process. Any growth should occur at a pace most locals are comfortable with, ensuring infrastructure and services keep pace with demand and that Council is responsive to the day to day needs for additional maintenance and services. Strong leadership is needed to achieve this.

The community independents’ vision for the shire is of a community that values ecological sustainability as our best asset, a community that is well served by an economy shielded from global shocks by an emphasis on agriculture, arts/culture, local food production, crafts and sustainable tourism. A key priority is to ensure the new Local Environmental Plan (LEP) meets the needs and aspirations of the community while preserving and repairing the natural environment for future generations. Basil Cameron and his team will work hard to protect agricultural land, rural and residential amenity in the LEP. We need a shire wide transport plan that reduces trafﬁc congestion and carbon emissions, makes our roads safer and supports sustainable tourism. It’s time for greater community participation in managing tourism so that we have a tourism strategy that encourages visitors who respect the environment and our communities. Basil’s team believes that Council needs to work harder to engage communities with better consultation and they have committed to holding regular meetings with residents to keep the community informed about what Council is doing. There is a great need for improved services and facilities across the shire. Group C candidates will give a high priority to skate parks in Brunswick and Byron, a library for Byron, the Northern Shire Sporting Fields Strategy and increased funds for constructing cycleways in all parts of the shire. As a long time advocate for trains on our tracks, Basil has the understanding and passion to build and lead a coalition of like minded councillors and community groups from across the Northern Rivers that will stand up to the state government’s denial of our right to have sustainable public transport. As independents, Basil and the team will not sell out the community interest for party political purposes and we will work with all residents and groups in the community to get the best results for our shire.

Policy statement

The Country Labor platform for this election campaign was first and foremost to be positive and avoid any criticism or personal reference to other candidates or their policies. This has enabled us to keep focused on three major elements of our platform and these are Good Governance, Environmental Responsibility and Development of a Resilient and Diverse Economy. With these three fundamentals in place Council will then, and only then be able to deliver truly sustainable development and to know what is required and how to plan for the infrastructure needed to support a modern society. Good Governance in the Local Government area needs councillors who: Firstly understand the Local Government Act, Local Government regulations and the Environmental Planning Act. Secondly, with this understanding to fully comprehend the responsibilities and the restrictions that are placed on them by these Acts. Thirdly, to be able to work together in a cooperative manner with each other, the Council administration, other levels of government and all sections of the community and, lastly, to be able to recognise the need to negotiate and mediate solutions in order to maintain the decision making processes within Council. We must ensure that our economy is able to develop to the point where it is self sustaining and able to survive the fluctuations of any sectors of it, be it tourism or any other major sector of the economy. Our economy needs to be both diverse and resilient and this is one of Council’s major responsibilities. Country Labor will promote industries and professions that are in accord with the values and vision of the Shire and we will need to develop a vision that reflects and is supported by all of our community. We will then be able to deliver truly sustainable development and to upgrade existing infrastructure and to plan for and provide the infrastructure that we need to ensure the future of our Shire and its residents.

Ross Tucker Independents are determined to build the necessary infrastructure to enhance the community life of Byron Bay. We will build the Byron Bay Bypass, it will be one of our first decisions. The delays on building community facilities will stop. The Ross Tucker independents will build the Suffolk Park Child Care Centre and the Byron Bay Library. We are committed to providing sportsfields throughout Byron, starting with the Ocean Shores fields at Shara Boulevarde. We will demand that this “community” land be returned by the State Government for community and sporting use. The Ewingsdale Road land will be developed as sportsfields and for community use; it will not be wasted as a festival site. We will work with the Bangalow community to finish their Indoor Pool project. What a wonderful effort to have already raised over $200,000. They deserve and will get the support of the Ross Tucker Team. Rain water tanks have played an important part in reducing water consumption; the council tank subsidy has been a great success. We will investigate a similar subsidy to assist individuals install solar hot water systems. The Ross Tucker team are absolutely committed to no high rise development in Byron... we believe in and will maintain the 3 storey height limit. The Tucker Team will be positive and decisive. We will make good decision for our community, we will not avoid the trust and responsibility you give us when electing us by hiding behind reports, deferrals to the State or the planning court. We will work with senior management to improve customer service to all the residents of Byron Shire.

Policy statement While keeping the relaxed feel of the Shire, we’re looking for change. We’re looking for basic infrastructure that supports the community, especially as we confront rising petrol and climate change. We’re looking for bike paths that link homes, schools, shops and work areas. We’re looking for infrastructure that encourages community engagement – like sports fields and playgrounds. We want to see less confrontation and more creative solutions to problems. With a true desire for workable outcomes, we support real collaboration between community, business and council. There’s a growing group of residents who work in the creative industries – artists, writers, web designers, musicians and film-makers. These people not only add a richness and diversity to our lives, they are also a growing source of income to complement tourism, which has its ups and downs. Our creative economy is twice the national average, and growing. These people work quietly and invisibly, drawing income from national and international sources. We need a holistic regional and shire-wide view of transport and road congestion. Many strategies, including tourism, youth, climate change, affordable housing, late night safety and culture, all document transport problems. So it’s time to tackle this head on. We need an integrated regional transport plan that integrates rail, bus, road, bikes and pedestrians. The youth of our shire need help with services, facilities, training and employment opportunities. Youth will benefit from community infrastructure and transport options already mentioned. Additionally, specific youth facilities such as the Youth Activity Centre need continuous support. And with a growing creative economy, we can provide new training opportunities.

SWAG has a clear long-term vision for Byron Shire that states: ‘To grow into a vibrant community that harnesses the incredible talent of its diverse and creative people to ultimately match social, cultural and economic fortunes to the richness of its wonderful environment.

Policy statement We stand for: Looking after country in respect to, and in support of, the Aboriginal custodianship of this land. Strong, transparent economically responsible Shire governance, for the people and by the people. A Council that engages with the community, on whose behalf it manages this Shire. An egalitarian, just, and equitable society, where there is a place for all, of whatever socioeconomic strata. A reverance for, and a commitment to protect, the natural environment. Being responsive to global warming dictates and climatic ﬂuctuations A relaxed lifestyle that supports the diverse needs, aspirations and cultural activities of individuals, sectors, and the broad community. An active and socially connected community that works together to address community issues . A low scale built environment. Working with the broad tourist industry to ensure that we can continue to capitalise on our high proﬁle reputation, by protecting and nurturing the very qualities and community values that the attraction is built on. Branding a health and wellness tourism sector. Supporting growth of our small local business. Supporting commmunity conections to local agriculture, and the protection of agricultural land to feed the regional and Brisbane market. Ensuring commercial festivals are restrained to a size that the community can coexist with. Equipping the Ewingsdale Rd community and sports facilities with a Place Of Public Entertainment licence and identifying it as a preferred Shire event space, limited to 10,000. A new Shire library built in the next term of Council. Supporting young residents with an upgraded Byron Bay Youth Activity Centre, and a Place Of Public Entertainment licence to facilitate young people’s social events in the North of the Shire (Brunswick and/or Ocean Shores). Restoring the connection of the Shire’s residents to our main town, Byron Bay. And most importantly, protection of residential amenity so that the residents can function and contribute to a society that supports and nurtures them. It is time for Shire governance that has the vision, the will and the ability to address the critical issues of our time, both globally and locally. And time for governance to steer this Shire on a path that will provide the place where we want to live. A place we are proud of, and a place that we can respectfully hand on to the next generation, in the knowledge that we did the best job that we could.

Adrian Gattenhof – Originally from Sydney where I worked for the NSW Department of Consumer Affairs and subsequently the EPA before moving to Mullumbimby 13 years ago. I have a strong interest in helping to nourish the distinctive qualities that the pioneering new settlers brought to this region in the 1970s; the local rather than the corporate, the experimental in place of the conservative, the diverse replacing the conventional and the innovative showing better ways of living in a challenging future. In the late 90s, I initiated and carried through the project to return the old NorthPower site in Mullumbimby to community ownership and use as headquarters for ACE and a site for incubator bays for new, small businesses. I continue to engage with Council on issues of community concern such as New Year’s Eve, paid parking and Splendour.

Tina Petroff

Tony Heeson

John Lazarus

Jan Barham

Jack Sugarman

Bob Tardif has been a resident and property owner in Mullumbimby for over 20 years and prior to that spent over 30 years in the computer industry. Bob was elected to Council in 1999 and returned in 2004. He is the president of the Byron Bay Branch of the Labor Party, a Council representative on the Board of the Byron Visitor Centre and the Mullumbimby Showground Trust Committee. Bob has actively promoted and been closely associated with all aspects of the tourism industry and was on the review committee involved with the preparation of the Tourism Management Strategy currently on public exhibition.

I have been a councillor since 1991 and am currently the Deputy Mayor. I am a councillor with Rous County Council. I am a resident of Mullumbimby where I run a small beef producing farm. I am married and have two adult children and a granddaughter. I was an ofﬁcer in the Australian Regular Army for 24 years. As a councillor I have worked closely with the Shire’s sporting bodies, Rural Fire Service, Tyagarah Airﬁeld and our senior citizens.

Tina was born in Byron Bay, and has a background in economics and runs her own export business promoting Australian products around the world. She is a Conservation Volunteer and has served her community for more than 30 years and planted 1000s of trees over the years throughout Byron Shire. She believes strongly in providing communities with proper facilities, services and infrastructure, and over the years has been instrumental in providing playground equipment, bus shelters, the Community Centre at Ocean Shores, cycleways at Brunswick Heads, Byron Bay, Suffolk Park and Mullumbimby, paved walkways and water access at the Lions Lookout.

I live in Federal 1989 on a commercial Macadamia farm with a substantial forest. I am married and have three adult children and four grandchildren. My successful business career involved Energy Conservation Control equipment and health food manufacturing with strong brand recognition and export sales. My extensive sporting interests include being an ex-player and now Zone President of Far North Coast Rugby Union. In 2003 I reformed Bangalow Rugby. I am the organiser of the famous Bangalow Billy Cart Derby – a successful, not for proﬁt, community event. I am a member of Bangalow Lions Club and a volunteer worker for various organisations and charities.

Active instigator and involvement with community events (Australia Day Celebration of Indigenous Survival, Beggars Banquet, New Years Eve, Byron Social Forum etc). Experienced Councillor. Effective public communicator. Engaged and responsive to the community’s issues.

As serving Mayor and a councillor since 1999, I have the experience to guide the Shire’s future. I have 8 years experience working within State Parliament which provided the political and legal understanding of Council governing mechanisms. My history also includes 10 years in the fashion industry where I gained retail and wholesale experience. I’m passionate about the Byron Shire. I love the diversity of our community and environment and have worked with many community groups. I have a family history in the area that goes back over 100 years. I’m proud of our achievements on council but realistic about the challenges and the work still to be done.

A longtime resident of Hayters Hill, Jack Sugarman has run for Mayor on several occasions, often on the platform of abolishing Byron Shire. This time around he suggests converting the council chambers into a backpackers after the shire is abolished. Jack has a background in business and is the director of a private family company. He believes in limiting high density development, lowrise buildings, keeping the rural character of the Shire and encouraging tolerance and diversity.

NOTE: The Echo does not vouch for the veracity of any of the statements made by candidates on these pages. Information given to us by candidates has in some cases been abbreviated to fit the available space.

Candidate groups respond to our questionnaire The Echo asked Council candidate groups six questions we thought were relevant to the future of local government in Byron Shire. Only Ross Tucker’s Group F chose not to answer, saying the group’s priorities ‘relate to provision of facilities and services and that has been the message we wanted to send’. Here we present a precis of their answers. The full responses are on our website at www.echo.net.au. 1. How would you propose to control holiday letting in residential areas?

This question drew the most diverse views. Jan Barham of The Greens (Group A) felt holiday letting should be conﬁned to a tourist zone, but if it were allowed in residential areas, precincts should be established, subject to appropriate regulation, with potential letters lodging development applications. Bob Tardif of Country Labor (Group E) favoured a cooperative approach among Council, property owners, the police and the community. Tina Petroff of SWAG (Group H) felt the ‘proactive measures’ of the Holiday Letting Organisation would prevail until the state government had a clear policy on the issue. For John Lazarus (Group I) a policy for tourist accommodation growth is needed, with rezoning applications required to operate a holiday let in a current residential zone. Basil Cameron’s Group C called for a community forum to identify solutions and the need for appropri-

ate regulation in the new LEP. Group B (Our Sustainable Future) suggested Byron Bay required appropriate precincts while Brunswick Heads could be left as is. Group D (Jan Mangleson) wanted the trial of a licence model ‘whereby Council can identify properties and charge fees for holiday letting applications in residential areas plus contributions for a compliance program…’ Group G (Karin Kolbe) suggested a permit system to control current activity.

Parklands group? Give reasons for or against.

Interestingly Group D was divided on the issue, Jan and Jim Mangleson and Chris Shevellar in favour, Jacob Ivey and Rose Arthur opposed. Bob Tardif and Tina Petroff want to see how the trial event goes before making a decision. Jan Barham has problems with the current DA (she voted against it) but does not say if there should be a venue there or not. John Lazarus, Group C, and Group B are against the proposal, while 2. How will you ensure there are effective reviews Group G saw the onus on the festival organisers ‘to demonstrate that an event on their of the Rural Residential Settlement Strategy? site preserves the environment and social Group A was in favour of an ongoing amenity’. review but offered no means to ensure it was effectively reviewed.

fields, Library, LEP, Coastline Management Plan, Economic Strategy, Biodiversity Protection, Affordable Housing, and an Events Policy. Bob Tardif opted for a general statement – ‘improve Council’s performance in terms of improvement in productivity and service delivery and as a result to live within our means and not keep imposing excessive rate rises on our community’ – while Tina Petroff emphasised infrastructure, including sportsfields, skate parks, bikeways, a new library for Byron Bay and ‘a proper bypass crossing over the second railway crossing on Old Bangalow Rd’. John Lazarus was in favour of ‘Byron Bay Library. Roundhouse development to sale stage (with approx 2000 metres reserved for open space/community facilities).’ In fact the Byron Bay library was popular with most candidates, as were sportsfields and bikeways. Group B had the novel idea of a ‘A roving Local Economic Development Facilitator… available in all towns weekly’. 6. Do you believe global warming is anthropogenic (manmade) and a cause for concern? If not, why not?

Only Jan Mangleson’s Group D said ‘No’, saying ‘global warming and cooling phases are caused by forces far greater than that made by humankind’. Groups A, E, H, and D emphasised the need for humankind to reduce its impact on the environment regardless of the level of its contribution to global warming.

Dr Karl Vernes is one of several scientists presenting research at the Big Scrub Rainforest Day. Dr Vernes is a self confessed fungi muncher or mycologist. He searches the rainforest looking for edible mushrooms or trufďŹ&#x201A;es. How do you hunt for trufďŹ&#x201A;es? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a pig on a leashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Dr Karl. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On trufďŹ&#x201A;e trips we stake out 20 to 50 metre plots and dig for half an hour. We can then estimate the number of trufďŹ&#x201A;es likely to grow in the area.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dr Vernes estimates that Australia has the greatest diversity of trufďŹ&#x201A;es in the world with thousands of species. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Australian trufďŹ&#x201A;es are small and hard to ďŹ nd, unlike the gigantic French ones used in the gourmet industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he said. Dr Vernes studies Australian woodland mammals that eat trufďŹ&#x201A;es. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On the east coast in wet sclerophyll rainforest, everywhere you look there are animals eating trufďŹ&#x201A;esâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bettongs, kangaroos, pademelons, possums and mice all eat fungus.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dr Vernes eats fungus, his favorite recipes are mushroom risotto with shitake and common ďŹ eld mushrooms and chanterelle quiche with a north American mushroom. Are Australian trufďŹ&#x201A;es edible? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Most of them are edible and a few taste goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, said Dr Karl. Hear Dr Karl Vernes present his research on how diverse mammal communities are important for maintaining plant fungal associations and ecosystem health at Big Scrub Rainforest Day Sunday 14 September at Rocky Creek Dam.

Council asks Sunrise Estate dumpers to do the right thing Byron Shire Council is asking neighbours in the Julian Rocks Drive area of the Sunrise Estate, Byron Bay, to do the right thing in disposing of their green waste. Council’s Manager of Open Spaces and Recreation, Nigel Greenup, said Council staff are regularly faced with piles of garden clippings, branches and unwanted plants dumped

throughout the network of Council reserves and laneways. ‘Dumping of garden waste is illegal and causes a range of issues, not just for Council but for adjacent residents as well,’ Mr Greenup said. ‘Some of the issues include the spreading of noxious and environmental weeds, increased bushﬁre risk and the creation of ideal hiding

and breeding places for feral pest animals such as rats and mice. ‘Residents are asked to act responsibly by composting their green waste on their properties for use on gardens, or by transporting it to Council’s landfill sites. Council is also currently investigating the introduction of a kerbside organic waste pickup service to deal

with the problem, which is an issue Shirewide. In the short term, Council will letter box drop areas where the practice is detected and may follow up with the issue of infringement notices where evidence of deliberate dumping exists. ‘Green waste is a great resource in the right place. In the wrong place it is a real threat to biodiversity.’

‘I bring choreography and new ideas and theatre. A lot of ideas I have came from working in Europe all that time, I worked in London, and Europe and Germany with lots of different companies and because there is so much going on there, there is a lot to source. Coming back here to Australia, you realise there’s not as much happening, and for me I was interested in bringing some of that style and some of the ideas of European physical theatre to performance. ‘In Europe there is a crossover between theatre and dance and circus that is really quite strong – rather than keeping them separate – there is more stimulus, companies like DV8 were my inspiration because they took dance from the strict conforms of contemporary movement and broke it apart and tried to integrate natural movement and make the characters speak rather than having dancey moves that were unrelated to character.’ Simon sees his role as Director for the latest Spaghetti show, Hero’s as a chance to integrate circus and theatre. ‘Being a good circus performer is about turning the tricks into story. In the last three years we have been introducing theatre into the circus skills – that started with the Pirate show, continued with the Sports show and now we are presenting the Superhero show.’ Anyone who’s seen Spaghetti shows will notice that in the last few years the kids have started to speak. Like angels from the Victorian era Spaghetti Kids were seen and not heard. Now they’ve started talking, you just won’t be able to shut them up. ‘We have lines and characters’, Simon says, ‘they love it and they are really great at it. I wanted to

Simon Says:

Be a Super Hero develop their personalities and characters and then work on their skills.’ So how many of the kids want to run away and join the circus when they grow up? ‘Half of them want to go on and be performers, half may want to move away and do something else, it doesn’t matter because their circus complements whatever they want to do.’ With 45 kids in the new show, The Superhero’s Show has been a challenge to direct. ‘It is tricky to negotiate when there are a few kids with major roles. I try and make sure that kids with similar skill levels get to share major

roles, I often let the older kids have a crack at it ﬁrst. Some of the kids will come up and suggest what they want to do. One girl came up and said I don’t want to be a super hero, I want to be an evil villain!’ As the creative auteur of the show, Simon admits it was less fairy dust and more grit for this show. ‘I tried to go a little darker with this show. I tried to source stuff around all the underground comics with the good versus evil theme, and we took a good look at that grey area in between. In the story there is this place called Mullumbumble and it’s the happiest place on earth and when that place gets destroyed by the evil villains, the world starts to turn...’

The show is rated PG and will also feature kids on new apparatus, such as the trampoline and Teeter board. These are even more risky behaviours than usual and Simon admits the kids ﬂourish under the pressure. ‘They love it because they get to jump off things and go into dangerous places, and then they feel really cool, when everywhere else they are told to be safe!’ The ‘Super Hero’s Show’ is Spaghetti Circus’s major work for 2008.

THE SOAPBOX MANDY NOLAN There’s an art to cracking a good Aussie sickie. It’s all about the voice. You have got to be able to perfect the slow gravelly whine when you make that all important morning call to the boss: ‘I’m sorry I can’t come in today, I think I’ve got the ﬂu.’ I’ve been so sick I’ve been hospitalised and put on a drip, but I have never spoken like that. Then there’s the debate on details. How much do you give and what is believable? Should you go into explicit detail about diarrhoea and the explosive state of your poor bum? ‘Honestly it’s like an entire cell of terrorist bombers have taken up residence.’ Code illness for the classic hangover is ‘food poisoning’. When you ring and moan ‘I must have had something dodgy last night because I have been up vomiting all night,’ technically it’s not

a lie. I once had a job where I got food poisoning every two weeks. They must have thought I was eating out of bins. You do have to be careful though, not to overdo it. If you go for something way too impressive, then you may not be able to come in for at least a week. I learnt this the hard way. I rang the office where I was working and groaned ‘I can’t come in today I have menigicoccal’. The next day when I turned up alive and with all my limbs intact they were a little suspicious. Anyone who has pulled a good sickie knows that it’s more believable to have two days off than one, and three days off is a bona fide affliction. At the end of three days you will have convinced yourself that you really are sick. I once gave such a great performance at the doctor’s surgery

for the Medical Certificate, they booked me in for chemo. This morning I woke up and the rain was pelting down, echoing on the tin roof. It’s like a mantra for a sleep in. It was dark and cold and bed was just so so cosy. The perfect day for a sickie. The only problem is I am self-employed and that stupid voice doesn’t work on me, although I did leave a message to myself on voice mail telling myself that I wouldn’t be coming in. Then I rang back and threatened to sack me. The minutes before my feet reluctantly hit the floor I had a spooky mother’s intuition. Today the kids are going to try and get out of going to school. Guess what? I was right! Two out of three of them pulled the croaky voice I’ve got a headache, I have a tummy ache. One fell on the floor next to the dog singer Lior. Joined by brother James who has made his name as a renowned percussionist using traditional Egyptian instruments and by bassist Cameron Undy, the prodigiously talented trio team up to showcase the mesmerising qualities of their respective traditional instruments.

and writhed in pain. The other one lay on the couch and moaned. The challenge was on. I rode em hard. Got em dressed, gave them breakfast and popped them on the bus. I’m one hard mother – but no kid is going to pull that one on me. I was the master of pulling a sickie, a true sickie is much more subtle, quieter and less intrusive. A true sickie should involve at least one spew. As the bus pulled away I felt that smug sense of satisfaction you have from time to time as a Mum when you actually win a battle and the little buggers don’t beat you. That was of course until the school rang, and I had to pick them up. Sick.

WITNESS AT THE BEACH The Witness are Australia’s rising soul-dub stars. Their show will feature the melting vocal combination of Carla Versitano on lead vocals, backed-up by the infamous Zac Tombs, and very special guest Mikuak Rai. This threepart vocal combination has been one of the highlights of the ﬁrst shows of the tour. Carla Versitano of The Witness continues to express the beauty of her voice with a fearless honesty that has been deeply touching audiences around the country for almost two years now. Her co-pilot and Witness drummer, Kozi Karsay, has recently returned to the Bay after a groundbreaking trip to Atlanta, Georgia. Mikuak Rai is described by many as one of the world’s great soul-folk

visionaries. He will be backed by a full band and will also be featuring tracks of his latest album. Sunday at the Beach Hotel.

Their live set is a musical extravaganza, touching upon funk-gypsy through folk-country to highenergy blues/roots. With their harmonies and intense rhythms they pump out a heck of a lot of sound for two small girls.

BROADFOOT AT BRUNS Mullumbimby dads – Broadfoot – are returning to the shire after celebrating last weekend’s Father’s Day in the Uki valley at the Sphinx Rock Café. After recent tension with his father, the drummer has revealed that the pleasure of playing music was not the only reason that the band chose the safe haven of Uki, said to be the safest place to be in a Nuclear holocaust, that day. It may be of interest

Listen to the representatives of the 9 groups standing for Council including all Mayoral candidates. that the name Broadfoot isn’t actually a surﬁng term (disappointingly it’s not sexual either) – more boringly it’s simply the middle name of the drummer, Trent Broadfoot Morgan. Anyway Mr Broadfoot and his musician friends (drummer joke) will be back at the Bruns Hotel on Saturday night.

JESS AT SATORI Jess McAvoy has been playing in pubs in Australia since she was 16. She soon attracted rave reviews for her emotive and energetic performances and melodic hook-laden indie/pop tunes.

A TRIBUTE TO JAMES TAYLOR WITH LEIGH JAMES & BAND Few would argue that James Taylor’s voice is amongst the most recognised in popular music. He last toured Australia in 2003, and he’s unlikely to tour here with his full band in the near future. What better way to experience James Taylor than by listening to Leigh James’ Tribute? Leigh has been following Taylor’s career keenly for 30 years and in that time has dedicated a large part of his musical education to listening, singing and playing his music. Leigh and band appear at Greenhills on Tweed on Friday at 7.30pm with tix for just $25. Booking enquiries to 6672 1697.

STANDUP COMEDY VIRGIN SACRIFICE THEATRE LIGHTS ARE ON Bright Lights Performance School presents their production ‘Dreams and Nightmares’ performed by their senior students. We all have dreams and nightmares. Paris, played by Keani Bryant is a young girl with a willingness to dabble in the esoteric and introduces us to her nightmares; Death (Jaiden Isgrove), Disease (Tom Preston) and Fear (Gabi Callan). Hand in hand with the nightmares come the shadows; Needle, Doubt, Aggravation and Fate. These nightmares and shadows send the chaos to inﬁltrate the lives of Paris and her teenager friends, Mercedes (Madi Swan) and Roxy (Raani Blewitt). Fortunately, teenagers also have dreams. Some of the dreams include friendship, romance, fame and fortune. ‘Dreams and Nightmares’ is a very entertaining musical ﬁlled with mystery and intrigue. Come and be amazed at the acting, dancing and singing skills of our local youth. The performance will be held at Byron Community Centre Theatre on Thursday and Friday. Tickets are available at the door or by contacting Lee Purdie 6680 7860.

It’s time again for another Virgin Sacriﬁce. It’s hard to believe that the laughter can keep on coming but it does. This huge class of very eccentric folk from the area include a reluctant psychic, a very manly bloke who just got a perm and a woman who grew up thinking that having a poo every three days was normal! In six weeks this group of initiates goes from nervous to neurotic as they work towards creating their very own ﬁve minute comedy routine. Always a thrill! Monday 22 September at 8pm at the Byron Service’s Club Pandanus Lounge. I’m the teacher, so I’m the MC for the night! Tix are $10/15 and can be bought at the club or booked on 6684 3443.

THE BANDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S VISIT I could not count the ways I love this. The Alexandria Police Band arrives in Israel to perform at the opening of an Arab cultural centre. They are stranded at the airport and, mistaking the name of the town at which they are booked, catch a bus that delivers them to Nowheresville. Unable to leave until the next day, they need to ďŹ nd accommodation for the night. There being no hotel, a restaurant owner, Dina, takes it upon herself to arrange billets for the hapless crew. There is not much more to the story than that, but this is a sublime example of less is more. Some ďŹ lmmakers with squillions of dollars and two and a half hours of reel time and a cast of A-list superstars at their disposal would not in a pink ďŹ t come up with something as meaningful as what writer/director Eran Kolirin has in these eightyseven too brief minutes. The ďŹ rst hint of something special happening comes at the bus depot when Haled, the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young pants man, asks the ticket seller does she like Chet Baker. He then croons My Funny Valentine to her â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it sounds terribly unrealistic and corny, but somehow Kolirin works a miracle with it and sets the tone for what follows. Deliberately, quietly paced

(like Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music) and with a diamond cut script, we become intimately involved in the lives of Dina, TawďŹ q, the impeccably mannered band leader, Haled and the Israeli Simon. It is free of overtly political statements â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except for the obvious cross-border one that emphasises our common humanity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is imbued with an affectionate irony. Haled is the wag â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when he helps Simon win over his weeping blind date at the roller-disco it is laugh out loud funny â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dina and TawďŹ q whom we care about most. They are kindred spirits and the sexual tension that develops between them is unbearable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not come across a movie as sexy as this for a long time, without a breast or bum in sight. As Dina, the sultry, black-eyed Ronit Elkabetz is an absolute doll and Sasson Gabbal is perfect as melancholy TawďŹ q who, when the boys ďŹ nally reach their destination, wraps up the journey with a heartfelt rendition of a beautiful song. There is some Arabic and Hebrew dialogue, but English is the prevailing language and its needless sub-titling is of only minor annoyance. Otherwise, this is a rare treasure. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it. ~ John Campbell

hit man who has botched a contract, is sent to Bruges to lie low with his minder, Brendan Gleeson, a jaded mobster. The young cretin hates the city, his companion is seduced by its history and architectural splendour. They are an odd couple, which is strikingly unoriginal to start with. Not until the crime committed in London is revealed and we learn the true reason the pair is together does the story take off. Farrell does too ďŹ ne a job of being an idiot to merit the sympathy you are meant to ultimately feel for him, Gleeson is terriďŹ c as the crook with a conscience and Ralph Fiennesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portrayal of a neurotic Kray type crime boss (how better he is as a baddie than a wan hero) is easily the best comic performer.

The drama is compelling, but I could not get a handle on the morality. When is murder OK? And how can we take seriously the clunky philosophical digressions when post modern nihilism pervades with, a la Tarantino, a predictable penchant for chic bloodshed? Vain selfawareness also intrudes, most blatantly when a movie being shot within the movie is critiqued as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Euro trash homage to Nicholas Roegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and later, when Fiennes says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this is the shoot-outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too smart-arsed for its own good. Nor is it free of dodgy writing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a bloke surviving a fall from a tower and the contrivance that forces Farrell back to Bruges are dubious at best. Enjoyable without satisfying. ~ John Campbell

IN BRUGES The question of humour arises. Touted as a black comedy, I found little to laugh at. Many other patrons did however, particularly early on, as Colin Farrell establishes his stupid, irritating character â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is not a criticism of the actor, who is fantastic in the part.

I loved Sausage Night as a child. This was before my mother had entered her wholemeal phase and would order from the baker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these being the good old Canberra days when bread was home-delivered â&#x20AC;&#x201C; half a loaf of unsliced white bread bulging out at its crustless end. At table my father would solemnly slice, and we would wrap the hot sausages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thin beef â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the velvety soft bread and their fatty grilling juices would sink in and melt the butter and add a beefy dimension to the Heinz tomato sauce. Less successful was a dubious dish called Sausage Creole, chopped-up snags in a peppery tomato sauce redolent of capsicum and served on a bed of rice which may well have been Rice-A-Riso. According to Trevor Mead, one of Byron Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two butchers (and an award-winning one at that), thin beef, or barbecue sausages as they are also known, are the biggest sellers, especially to families with children. But goodness me how far we have come in the sausage department because now it is possible to buy sausages in a vast assortment of styles and especially ďŹ&#x201A;avours. A butchery in Hornsby, NSW, claims to be the most awarded butcher shop in Australia: they make sausages in 35 different ďŹ&#x201A;avours, representing various countries of the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so you can buy Butter Chicken and Yoghurt, or Moroccan Lamb and Raisin, for example. I suspect that, apart from vegetarians, everyone loves sausages, privately or openly. They sprang into fashionability in the nineties when every newlygentriďŹ ed pub was offering them on pillowy beds of mashed potato. They had already gone gourmet by this stage, though were generally just Italian-style, fat spicy ones which spurted upon perforation by knife and fork. In fact the slang term for them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, apparently came about as a result of their habit of exploding due to shrinkage of the tight skin during cooking. They are described by Wikipedia as being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a logical outcome

of efďŹ cient butcheryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a means of utilising those animal parts (organ meats, blood, fat) that, while edible and nutritious, are not remotely appealing, grinding them up then stufďŹ ng them into a tubular casing made from the cleaned intestine of the animal. Ingenious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention the oldest example of food preservation. The meat is traditionally pork, beef or veal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although Margaret Visser in her book The Rituals of Dinner says that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;... We dislike thinking that we can have no idea what went into a sausage. Twentieth-century people feel so strongly about this that we have created unprecedentedly strict regulations regarding such conglomerates as sausage meat; we prefer in any case not to speculate about what a sausage must once have been, especially while eating it...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I once heard them referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mystery bagsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet on the only two occasions when I encountered difďŹ culties with swallowing a sausage, I might well have gulped them down happily had their contents remained a mystery, one being horse-meat and the other pure blood. Trevor Meadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range of sausages includes Bangalow Sweet Pork and Parsley; Chilli and Basil; Duck â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and he is about to start working on on a Thai Chicken one with chilli and fresh coriander. At Wholly Smoked, also in Byron Bay, John Wynde makes Ostrich; Chorizo; Chicken and Vegetable; Pork, Apple and Honey; Beef Cajun Chilli; Turkey and Plum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and he is currently developing one based on an ancient English recipe incorporating mace and breadcrumbs. At the fantastic Howards butchery-cum-deli in South Lismore the sausage types keep on changing, but at present there is Rabbit, French Herbs and Chardonnay; Free-Range Chicken and Tarragon; Lamb and Smoky Bacon, just to name a few. Their fat spicy Italian ones served on a billowy cloud of polenta constitute comfort food with class, requiring nothing more than some garlicky braised silverbeet and a carafe of respectable chianti.

FOOD FESTIVALS Two festivals up the coast are the Flower, Food and Wine Festival in Toowoomba (19- 21 September); and the 2008 Oktoberfest at the Brisbane Exhibition Ground (Sept. 19-21, 26-28). The former, now in its 6th year, is a major highlight of Toowoombaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carnival of Flowers and will showcase local wine producers, cottage industries, restaurants and gourmet connoisseurs. Regional restaurants and cafes will be offering mouth-watering menus encompassing the ďŹ nest regional produce â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be olives, aromatic spices, cakes, award-winning cheeses as well as an Ikebana-inspired tea garden. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to be held at Upper Queens Park, Margaret St., Toowoomba, and for more information ring 07 4632 1988. As for Oktoberfest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there will be a beer garden, stalls with traditional Bavarian food such as spit-roasted whole chickens and pork hocks, fresh authentic pretzels baked on site, wood-ďŹ red German sausages and cakes, pastries and desserts.

David Smerdon moved closer to the coveted grandmaster title last week with victory in the world ranked Surfers Paradise Open, Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s richest Grand Prix tournament. A late arrival forced Canberraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smerdon to take a first round bye in Surfers but from then on he made every post a winner, running up five consecutive victories to finish a point clear of a strong field.

A dream youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted for a long time is actually coming trueâ&#x20AC;Ś And whatever contribution you make towards harmony in the workplace this week will be deeply appreciated.

Enjoy this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magic moments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and if money worries are causing ďŹ nancial angst, investigate new cash management strategies.

But you know the drill: as one door closes another one opens, the

Smerdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect record in Surfers moved him to within 30 points of the required grandmaster ranking and, given Smerdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich vein of form, the title confirmation now seems to be just a matter of time. Smerdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main challenge in Surfers was expected to come from fellow Olympians Stephen Solomon and Darryl Johansen, but both suffered upset losses which took them out of contention for the top prize; Solomon to Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Domagoj Dragicevic and Johansen to the ACTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arianne Caoili. In a week when the Australian Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympiad team was shocked by the withdrawal of their top player, Irina Berezina, for work and family reasons, Caoiliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory over Grandmaster Johansen, her best scalp since she was a

14-year-old chess professional, was a good omen. Berezinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence means that Caoili, 21, will be promoted to board one in the Olympic team and also that another ACT player, Shannon Oliver, moves into the national squad. Oliver, 22, was unlucky to be overlooked for controversial Olympic veteran Biljana Dekic but now has a chance to prove the selectors wrong on her Olympic debut in Dresden. In other good news, while Smerdon was winning on the Gold Coast, his long-time rival and Australian number one Zhao Zong Yuan was registering a victory on the other side of the world, capturing first prize at an elite grandmaster tournament in Sao Paulo, Brazil. With the Dresden Chess Olympiad only two months

away, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top two players seem to be running into form at just the right time. â&#x2013; Smerdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best game in Surfers, given below, came against Caoili in the final round; a model exhibition of pressure chess. Surfers Paradise Open 2008 White: A Caoili Black: D Smerdon Opening: Catalan 1.c4 Nf6 2.g3 e6 3.Bg2 d5 4.Nf3 dxc4 5.Qa4+ Nbd7 6.Qxc4 a6 7.0-0 b5 8.Qc2 Bb7 9.d4 c5 10.dxc5 Bxc5 11.Bf4?

Nerida’s just loves that hole in one

Shand ﬁnals series begins

Winning the recent Vets Championship at the Mullumbimby Golf Club was done with flair and style this year as member Nerida Carsburg of Myocum put her stamp on the event with a hole in one, but not just any hole in one. The 104 metre hole, which is the ninth on the Mullum course, is a sponsored hole which hadn’t seen a one stroke pot for a massive 333 weeks and each week, what started as a $200 hole has had another buck thrown into the kitty by local accountant Bill Nicholls. ‘I was so excited about getting the hole in one,’ said Nerida. ‘I was even more excited when I found out it was a sponsored hole. I won $533 and a gorgeous trophy which holds the lucky ball.’ Nerida, who has been a member of the club for 15 years and plays off a 17 handicap, had the dreaded lurgy when she teed off at the tournament. ‘I was so sick. I had the flu and didn’t event know if I would be able to play at all. When we got to the 9th I could see that my first stroke

Brian Mollet Fathers Day is the time when we acknowledge the divine male essence, where lawn mowing is suspended for a day and all things ‘blokey’are celebrated without shame. In Main Arm it is a bit like an end of year stocktake where the kids are stopped from running around and through discussion and sometimes detective work, people try to sort out who belongs to whom. Confusion over Fathers Day threw a spanner into the works of the Nick Shand Memorial cricket series on Sunday, mainly due to the addled columnist who published the wrong date for the said celebrations. This left the Geckos and the Byron Full-Tossers unable to ﬁeld complete teams on the weekend. The Geckos needed to score over 170 runs to displace the bush bashers from Left Bank from top spot in the table, and after some soul searching and a quick head count the match was awarded to the Full-Tossers, paving the way for the ﬁnals of the series to commence this Sunday.

had made the green and thought to myself “this will be good, I’ll get a birdy here”. It wasn’t until I saw the reaction from the captain and green keeper who just happened to be standing next to the green when the

ball dropped, that I knew I had got it in.’ Nerida says the ball hit the green, then bounced once straight into the pot. And the information that everyone wants to know: she used her trusty 7 iron and a Lady Pin-

Local gymnasts qualify for regional state team Four budding gymnasts who train at Circus Arts in Byron Bay, have been selected for the Regional State Team after qualifying at the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Regional Trials in August. The young gymnasts: Lauren Christian, Lily Christian, Giselle Attuell all aged 10 and Yasmin Misner 8, will now compete in the State Championships in Sydney later this month. The team’s Circus Arts coach Hanne Grant congratulated the girls on their outstanding achievements at the Regional Trials. ‘I’m really impressed with the whole team’s results,’ said Hanne. ‘ Yasmin came overall first in her division, Lauren was second while Lily and Giselle both came third. We also had another great result for Circus Arts gymnast Laura Scurrah, who scored first place in her division for the beam. At the Regional Trials, held at Ballina RSL Youth Club, all the girls competed in four categories: beam, bars, vault and floor.Yasmin Misner came first in each and every one of her classes, scoring the highest points in her division. Lily’s highest placing was for the bar, she came second, while Lauren was second for both the

bars and the beam. Giselle shone at the beam and was placed ﬁrst in her division. Overall, the girls achieved a resounding result and they are looking forward to the State Championships in Narrabeen, Sydney on September 20 and 21. ‘This will be my ﬁrst interstate competition with my friends from Circus Arts,’ said Yasmin. ‘I’m so excited to be going to Sydney!’

The girls train at Circus Arts twice a week as part of Hanne Grant’s Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) team. These classes are by invitation, but beginners can join the recreational gymnastics class on Thursday’s at 3.45pm and start training now, the next Olympics are only four years away.

Second placed team Main Arm have turned delusion into their main strength, they will be whispering lies to each other all week in an effort to be on top of their game for their clash with third placed team the Geckos. Simon has been searching the internet for coaching methods for the Geckos, and has hit on a cross between the Chinese and Iraqi methods: his charges will spend the week sipping turtle blood instead of red wine and any sign of negativity will be beaten out of them with canes. Main Arm shaded the Geckos when they met in the round robin but the ﬁnals always bring out the best in both teams who between them have won all but one of the ten titles contested so far. The match promises more than a pyramid scheme being sold by an ex-courtesan who has moved into politics.

A grand final to give this devil his due John Campbell Rugby League has taken some crippling body blows in its centenary year. One bad headline has come tumbling after another – but still it survives. That it does, and that it so proudly labels itself ‘the greatest game of all’ is in no small part due to the commitment shown it at grass roots level. On a filthy Thursday night at Red Devil Park, with rain lashing the field, Luke Bomford was one of the first to arrive for training. He’s keen, and with good reason, for this Sunday afternoon he’ll be lacing up the boots for the biggest game of his life. A back-rower, Bomma will come off the bench for Byron Bay at some stage in what is bound to be a tough encounter with Grafton Ghosts to determine who will be the 2008 Retravision Northern League premiers. Luke has been playing footy for the Bay since he was six and now, after twenty years of steady progress through the ranks, he has cracked it for an A Grade grand final. A survivor of 2006, the

Devils’ annus horribilis, when the side was battered from pillar to post, just being there on Sunday would be a tremendous reward for the local junior, but for Luke it is nothing less than a triumph and a tonic for us all. League is a hard game, one that demands old fashioned physical courage – none of Sunday’s participants will lack it. But there’s another sort of courage. It’s a ﬂame that refuses to be doused, and it will not have a bar of setbacks. It is a measure of the man. Luke lost a kidney to cancer in 2004. He mentions it casually, like it was just another big hit to contend with – you get up, dust yourself down and carry on. He’d be genuinely embarrassed if you were to tell him how profoundly inspiring his story is. ‘Yeah, I missed nearly all of that season, but came back at the end of it to play with the reserves… probably shouldn’t have, I wasn’t quite ready…’ You get the impression that wild horses would not have stopped him.

Slowly but surely his confidence returned and all Luke is concerned with now is helping the boys achieve their ultimate goal.

‘It was disappointing last year to be knocked out in the semis, but we’ve learnt from the experience and I think we’re a better team for it.

Most of the blokes are still here and that’s helped us gel pretty well this time around. And the Penguin, he was playing then too – I guess that’s made it easier to get on the same wavelength.’ The Penguin is Nathan Cross, the Bay’s unassuming coach. He kicked the field goal that got the Red Devils home 11-10 in their last grand final victory in 1996 against Marist Brothers. It’s his first season at the helm and he is keen to sing Luke’s praises. ‘Mate, he sets such a good example. To achieve what he has after what he’s gone through with his illness, it’s just awesome, and his contribution is never less than one hundred per cent. You can’t have a football team without players like Bomma.’ The respect between the two is mutual. ‘He treats us all equal.’ Luke glances over his shoulder to where Nathan is organising a gym session. ‘And yeah, I’ve definitely learnt a lot from him,’ he offers. ‘Especially in understanding the game better,

being aware of things I didn’t see before.’ As ever, supporting Luke on the big day will be his parents, Sheryl and John. ‘That’s my Dad there,’ he says, pointing to John in the celebratory photo taken after the Bay had beaten Seagulls 12-9 in the 1981 decider. It was the year before Luke was born and you don’t need to be told how much he’d like to follow in the Old Man’s footsteps. John, who has also served as Club President, is not putting the cart before the horse. Grand ﬁnals are rarely easy, but about his son he has no doubts. ‘He’s a good kid. He’ll go alright.’ In the League fraternity, that is praise enough. Loyalty, a sense of purpose and level headedness are qualities you hear of too infrequently from a media obsessed with scandal. Luke, a typical country footballer, embodies them all. So if he owns up to being a Manly supporter we won’t hold it against him. Give ‘em heaps Bomma, and go the Bay!

SGBPA AGM

Under the influence – adolescents and alcohol Margo Sutton The misuse of alcohol and drugs by young people is much in the public eye recently. In the Byron Shire, a forum for young people will be held on September 18 to discuss these issues and work on some positive solutions. Some thought provoking findings emerging from the Australian Drug Foundation’s evidence based research into adolescents and alcohol use are: s .INETY PER CENT OF !USTRALIAN year olds have drunk alcohol. s /NE IN lVE TEENAGERS DRINK EVERY week, and 28% of 14-19 year olds drank at risky or high risk levels within the last month. s 9OUNG PEOPLE WHO GET STARTED ON alco-pops will retain a loyalty to this brand and spirit. (Roy Morgan Research 2005). s !LCOHOL IS THE DRUG MOST COMMONLY associated with death and injury among adolecents. s #ANNABIS IS THE MOST POPULAR ILLICIT drug used followed by ecstacy and amphetamines. s OF YOUNG PEOPLE GET ALCOHOL from their parents. Only 5% buy it for themselves. s !DOLESCENTS FROM TWO PARENT FAMIlies report lower levels of alcohol use than adolescents from single or stepparent families This being said, it is noteworthy that nearly 8 out of 10 younger teenagers (12- 15) have never had a full serve of alcohol and the vast majority of teenagers do not use llicit substances on a regular basis. Recent advances in neurobiology suggest that changes to the brain’s dopamine system at puberty lead to increased sensation-seeking behaviour. The human brain is still developing until the age of 20, and a neurotoxin like alcohol may affect important refinements that are happening in the neural architecture in this period. Short term harms associated with alcohol abuse for all ages are road trauma, Teams are asked to nominate for the day by calling the Byron Bay Golf Club on 6685 6470. Individuals are very welcome and will be placed in a team. Food is available at Club Bistro as well as on course refreshments. Many great prizes are on offer, as well as a huge ‘Raffle Run Down’ commencing at 5pm. All proceeds from the day will be used towards the purchase of a Trauma Stretcher with builtin scales at a cost of $13,790 for the Byron District Hospital. Enquiries to Maureen Weir on 6685 3162 or Byron Bay Golf Club on 6685 6977.

In the long term, teens may develop alcohol-related illness and life impacting social problems. Private parties, with unrestricted access to alcohol, and low levels of parental supervision create a dangerous environment where fun can turn to harm. In most cases young people ﬁrst come into contact with alcohol in the home environment. Even preschoolers can recognise alcohol by its smell, and by the age of 10, children react negatively when they see adults behaving oddly in a social environment.

What makes young people drink too much? Young people often try to test the limits of their independence. This may mean taking risks. Other factors are not dissimilar to those related to adults’ use of alcohol and other drugs, ie, to relax, celebrate, be accepted by peers, curiosity, relief of boredom and escape from physical or emotional pain. High risk situations for young people include places where there is reduced monitoring, increased access to alcohol and at gatherings like Schoolies week, parties and music events. These occasions often provide them with their first opportunity to exercise independence. A common misconception is that the Mediterranean model of the early introduction of alcohol to young people, provides immunity from alcoholism. However the same increase in adolescent binge drinking statistics are to be seen in Europe as in other first world countries. Many families may not realise that in NSW the punishment for those who supply alcohol to children under their care is a $5500 fine. Online resources for parents and young people can be found on: www. adf.org.au Byron Girls Group, based at the Byron Youth Activity Centre, is staging a drug and alcohol forum called ‘You don’t need drugs to be dope’. It will be held on September 18 with the results to be presented to parents and community members on Tuesday September 23, 5.30pm to 7pm, at the YAC. Drug and alcohol information sessions will be conducted by INTRA following the forum at a date to be announced. For more information call Byron Shire Council’s Community Safety Officer Juliet Allen on 6685 9349, or YAC coordinator Belle Arnold on 6685 5775.

Dear voters, the fate of Byron Shire is in your hands this Saturday. Vote wisely. Only four more sleeps to go. ■ ■ ■ ■ In other political contests, the rolling of Morris Iemma and the installation of Nathan Rees as NSW premier made riveting news. One would be a complete Pollyanna to expect too much joy from the new lineup – the factional heavyweights are still calling the shots – but at least Costa and Sartor are gone. ■ ■ ■ ■ The Four Corners report last week weighed into the predatory practices of Woolies and Coles and made the ACCC look like a pointless waste of taxpayers’ money. Locals can always ensure a fairer deal for local producers by buying from them directly or from local produce stores. Cut out the big chains. Better still, start your own vegie patch – it’s one of the cheapest therapies available in Byron Shire. ■ ■ ■ ■ According to property analyst Colleen Coyne, of Colleen Coyne Property Research, ‘Byron Bay has cemented its transformation from hippy haven to million dollar mecca, with new research revealing 40 per cent of house sales this year to date have achieved seven ﬁgure price tags, up from just eight per cent in 2002.’ Apparently cashed-up baby boomers are contributing to rising property values, snapping up what few residential offerings became available. It’s all those bloody Bohemians’ and surfers’ fault, discovering the shire in the ﬁrst place! ■ ■ ■ ■ Speaking of little shires under pressure, check out Pip Wilson’s satirical work Brand Bellingen at www. wilsonsalmanac.com/brandbello.html. Read his CV, too – it’s pretty impressive. ■ ■ ■ ■

Unlike the boys, who seemed to be in training for Gladiators, these girls took the swinging around of large bats as a Zen exercise at the Fatherhood festival. Photo by Lou Beaumont.

It has been confirmed to Backlash that the former Chincogan Tavern is in local hands and will be reopened after a lot of work has been done on it. The bottleshop is expected to be part of the Bottlemart group – www. bottlemart.com.au. By the way, Backlash tried out Cascade’s new Green Beer last week, and can report it’s a very nice drop despite not having preservatives in it. See more at www.cascadegreen.com.au. Here’s one fair sized business which seems to have offset its carbon emissions without whining about it. ■ ■ ■ ■ The Museum of Particularly Bad Art is once again encouraging entries. Details and entry forms are available at www.mopba.org or call Fat Helen on 0419 5419 02. Make the world a safer place for kitsch. ■ ■ ■ ■ We are pleased to announce that the inaugural 2008 ‘Lip Sync World Champs’ (LSWC) Champion is Daniel Cunningham aka ‘Marzi Pan’ from Darwin, NT. According to the organisers, Marzi’s picture perfect performance of

Whitney Houston’s ‘I will always love you’ gave him the slightest of edges over second placegetter ‘MC Loud’ (NZ). To ﬁnd out more about other exciting events, go to www. airguitaraustralia.com. If the

traditional form of voting fails, there’s always Paper Scissors Rock. ■ Responsibility for election comment taken by David Lovejoy, Mullumbimby
