Byron Shire Council has invited community organisations or individuals to apply for Section 356 community donations. Mayor Jan Barham said the funding is a significant way in which community groups can obtain funding for the launch of new and ongoing projects or initiatives. ‘Over the past year, funding has provided equipment for preschools, animal welfare groups, environmental programs, education courses and emergency services,’ Cr Barham said. ‘Funding can also be used for events such as this year’s Kites and Bikes festival, Harmony Day and World Youth Day. ‘Byron Shire has a strong community of volunteers who give countless hours and energy into providing valuable services back into our neighbourhoods.’ In 2008/09, over $70,000 was granted to around 60 local community organisations, groups and individuals. An application form must be completed and is available at Council’s Community Access Points or on Council’s website at www.byron.nsw. gov.au/PublicExhibition/. All applications for funding will be considered at a Council meeting in June. Applications close Friday May 15. For further information, please contact Council’s Administration and Community Services Manager Anne McLean on 6685 9340.

Aerial spraying plans for parks put the wind up locals Victoria Cosford

The proposed aerial spraying of Bitou Bush infestation in the Byron Shire, scheduled to occur between May 18 and June 26, has caused some concern within the community. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Pest Management Officer Lisa Wellman is quick, however, to dispel the more common fears. She points out that, first of all, the town will in no way be affected, and that the two areas of operation are

north of the Brunswick River up to the boundary of the Tweed/Byron Shire and the Cape Byron and Broken Head Reserves – the latter being a follow-up to spraying done there a year ago. There are stringent guidelines for aerial spraying of this pest in NSW, their chief purpose being to ensure that it is undertaken in a manner that provides effective control of the weed with negligible damage to the environment and whilst preserving public safety. The herbicides used are glyphosate

(the active ingredient in Monsanto’s ‘Roundup’) and metsulfuron methyl. Their use in winter months based on extensive trials that showed the impact of native species at this time was low, most of them lying dormant then. The areas in question will be closed off from the general public. One extremely concerned resident is local real estate agent Rose Wanchap, who has personally experienced the consequences of herbicide sprays. Shortly after moving to Byron Bay she became aware of regular

Council spraying of the dividing wall which runs the length of her street. Coinciding with these sprayings were allergic reactions experienced both by her granddaughter and by Rose herself – eyes puffing up, nose-bleeds, lethargy – and so she realised the need to maintain the wall at her own expense. That was four years ago: since then she has been paying around $3,000 a year for gardeners to do the job. And no further allergies. Her main fear is that, despite the manufacturer’s

claims that glysophate clings to the particles of the earth and stays on the plant, those very particles inevitably end up relocating ‘on, in, under my cupboards’. According to the Practice Guidelines For Aerial Spraying, ‘glyphosate and metsulfuron methyl are both biodegradable’ and ‘ glyphosate bonds to soil particles, limiting its movement within the soil’. Rose argues that ‘earth moves with every wind and rain that falls, it washes to where it will, in our continued on page 2

Murder charge withdrawn

Powering up for Canadian blog

The murder charge against Ocean Shores resident Regina Veinstein has been withdrawn after prosecution found insufficient evidence. Ms Veinstein had been charged in September 2007 for the murder of her husband, Raymond (Ronan) Veinstein. A spokesperson for the Office of Public Prosecutions has said that, according to the Prosecution Guidelines, there was ‘no reasonable prospect of conviction’. According to a police press release, Mr Veinstein was reported missing in May 2005, having last been sighted in the Mooball area in December 2004. Strike Force Wondaree was established as a result by Adam Dawes powers up in Byron Bay for some electrifying aerial skate stunts for Canadian police from the Tweed/Byron skate blogger/photographer Bret Box.

NCAHS urges whooping cough immunisation The North Coast Area Health Service (NCAHS) is reminding parents to ensure their children are fully immunised against whooping cough (pertussis) following a large increase of cases in the region and across the state. People working with or caring for young children (particularly parents and grandparents) should have a booster immunisation to reduce the chance of spreading

the disease, says NCAHS. NSW Health has arranged for a free vaccination for all new parents, grandparents and people who care for new babies – available now from GPs. So far this year, NCAHS has received notification of 549 cases in the region compared to 122 for the same time period in 2008 and 37 in 2007. The same increase is being reflected across the state. For the

months of January and February there have been 3,356 cases in NSW compared to 448 for the same period in 2008. Traditionally the number of cases also increases in the winter months. NCAHS Acting Director of Public Health, Greg Bell, said ‘Whooping cough can be a serious disease for people of any age but it can be particularly serious in babies.

‘Many babies with whooping cough catch it from a parent or close family member.’ According to NCAHS, a booster should be given at four years of age and again at 15. This is free from your GP. Further information on whooping cough can be found on the NSW Health website www.health.nsw.gov.au/ factsheets/infectious/pertussis. html.

creeks, down our streets, into our driveways, into our oceans’. According to Lisa Wellman, however, the greatest diligence is exercised in ensuring weather conditions are suitable for spraying in order to minimise the risk of spray drift. Right up to the day of operation, the weather is monitored strictly – conditions such as rain, frost

or wind speed are all likely to cause the herbicide to drift. Jo Immig at National Toxics Network Inc (NTN) feels less confident. NTN is a community-based network working for ‘pollution reduction, protection of environmental health and environmental justice for all’, a not-for-profit organisation based in Bangalow. In their Community Information & Action Kit the dan-

gers of spray drift are spelt out clearly. It explains that Bitou Bush spraying has unintended effects and that ‘we simply don’t know the extent of the damage because so little research is carried out to measure the impacts of pesticides on native plants and animals’. It cites the case of the Dirawang Reserve at Evans Head, where repeated broad scale aerial applications of herbicides to control Bitou Bush resulted in damaged grasslands on sea cliffs and coastal headlands, banksia woodlands never fully recovering and the complete disappearance of two species of once-abundant orchids. El-

len White, coordinator of the Dirawang Reserve bush regeneration team, is involved in the non-chemical control of Bitou Bush. In less than two years she and her team have hand-pulled weeds in more than eight hectares. She disputes the view that hand-pulling is inefficient and costly, and adds that it is ‘an excellent opportunity to really get to know your area’. As far as Lisa Wellman is concerned, however, there is nothing to fear – in fact, since last year’s spraying of the Cape Byron and Broken Head reserves, the native plants have come back ‘brilliantly’.

NEARLY THERE! Our new restaurant is nearly ready and we are looking forward to being back in Byron Bay in just a few days. Look out for us on the corner of Fletcher Street and Byron Street just below Rapunzel’s Tower. Until then we will be operating a full restaurant and take away service from our Suffolk Park store (just behind the pub, 5 kms south) 7 days a week from 5.30pm. Restaurant bookings are advisable.

See you all in our new place soon.

Top critic to talk at arts festival FEHVA is proud to announce that John McDonald, art critic for the Sydney Morning Herald and world renowned writer on the subjects of art, film and travel will feature in May’s FEHVA Visual Art Festival. The Byron Bay Writers Festival is sponsoring his participation. John has recently published Art of Australia Volume 1, a comprehensive work that stretches from prehistory, settlement and exploration, to the end of the colonial era. Said Writers Festival director Jeni Caffin, ‘It is a joy to partner with FEHVA each year: art and literature sit harmoniously together. I have great delight in sponsoring John McDonald’s visit. He attended in 2007 and such was his satisfaction with the event that he immediately accepted my invitation to return. ‘Reading John is always instructive and entertaining, but listening to him is an entirely compelling and illuminating

Lucky Jim’s number comes up Story & photo Eve Jeffery

A Banora Point senior’s lucky number came up last week when ticket 15031 was drawn from the barrel of entries entered in the 2009 Lions Club car raffle. Jim Finucan from Banora Point was this year’s winner and says over time he has purchased many Lions car raffle tickets as a close friend of his is a Lions member. ‘I have bought Lions raffle tickets for God knows how long,’ said Jim. ‘How many tickets I buy depends on how much money I have in my pocket. The day I bought this ticket I only had five dollars. Just think this car only cost me five dollars.’ Jim, who is 83, had to hand in his licence a month ago as he is no longer able to drive but says he will take the car home and then decide what its future will be. The Lions car raffle is an annual event. There are 1,350 Lions Club in Australia and this Lions car raffle is a joint effort between 19 clubs in the Northern Rivers and Tweed area. About 25 years ago these clubs

Over the years the trust has provided over $1 million to worthy causes. The raffle is one of the ma-

Filmmaker’s novel draws praise The Byron Bay Writers Festival signed many of Australia’s stellar and best loved writers to the program for 2009, but Director Jeni Caffin takes pride in seeking out and presenting innovative and imaginative newcomers by their side. Says Jeni, ‘An extraordinary book found its way to my desk late last year, so well written and beautifully produced that I had to seek out the creator and invite him to the Festival.’ The book is Modern Odysseus and the author awardwinning filmmaker Julian Shaw, pictured. ‘One could describe it as a graphic novel, said Jeni, ‘but the result is much more than this. ‘Quite simply, it is a film in a book and the lead role is “played” in the book by the brilliant Australian actor Colin Friels. It is with great pleasure that I can reveal that both Colin and Julian will participate in the Marquee program.’ Modern Odysseus creates a world of distrust and souldeath, satirising the slick excesses of the 21st century. Accompanying the text is still photography and graphic design, punctuating and extending the story. Julian Shaw recently won a British Film Institute Award for his documentary Darling and is currently writing and directing a feature documentary about the All Blacks. Colin Friels is known to audiences for starring in myriad films, including Monkey Grip, Malwww.echo.net.au

colm, Dingo and The Man Who Sued God and Logie winning role in Water Rats. Jeni Caffin says, ‘It excites me to find writers crossing genres and pushing boundaries. The Festival always takes a keen interest in screen writing, but Julian straddles page and screen. He is a unique talent and his

collaboration with Colin has produced a groundbreaking book that will challenge audiences at the Festival.’ The Festival is on August 7-9 and discounted Early Bird 3 day passes are now on sale at www.byronbaywritersfestival.com or Jetset Byron Bay on 6685 6262.

As far as the wedding industry in Byron Bay is concerned, there seems little evidence of one. On the contrary, according to Margot Pegum of Byron Beach Weddings, Byron Bay seems to be recession-proof, her business having 25 weddings already booked this year with at least ten others ‘on the boil’. Enquiries average 10-12 a week and often constitute requests demanding the ‘wow’ factor – helicopters landing on the beach, a flying fox from Julian Rocks – which Margot and her team attempt to meet as far as possible. She suspects one reason why Byron Bay and environs may continue to be such a desirable location is because of the notion of a holiday: the fact that, apart from the visually beautiful environment, there are options like lighthouse walks, beach picnics, rounds of golf, before-and after-wedding parties. Then there’s the further benefit to the business community with the associated spin-off whereby cafés, restaurants, beauty salons and accommodation reap the rewards of all those extra people in town. Having just done five weddings in eight days Margot, exhausted, is looking forward to taking the month of May off when she and husband Stephen will travel around China and leave the hospitality to others.

Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham, pictured with Ross Allan, drew out a Sydney couple’s winning ticket for a holiday in Queenstown NZ. It was organised by WellWishers, a Mullumbimby based group which with donations, has built 140 wells in Ethiopia, giving clean water to about 80,000 people. The raffle raised sufficient money to build another well for 500 villagers. ‘The women will benefit by no longer walking three hours or more every day to collect polluted water from sources shared with livestock. And no more will up to 20% of children die under the age of 5 from water borne diseases,’ Allan said. For more information, contact Ross Allan on 6684 3524 or visit www.wellwishersethiopia. com.

Byron Community Bazaar kicks off on Saturday On Saturday May 2 the Byron Community Bazaar will kick off at the Byron Community Cultural Centre. As a new initiative for the Centre the hope is that with enough interest it will become a weekly event. Paul Spooner, general manager of the Centre, said, ‘I believe the Community Bazaar is an exciting new development

for Byron Bay. By opening the doors of the community centre on a Saturday morning I want to see many local arts and craft people take advantage of the opportunity to sell their wares to the public. ‘The idea of the bazaar harks back to a traditional indoor marketplace where the community gets together to catchup, have a chat and discover

that special treasure.’ Bilbo Taylor, the manager of the recent Byron Artisan Market, has offered to help get the Byron Community Bazaar off the ground. So what can you expect to find at the Bazaar? Bilbo says, ‘We are hoping to engage a wide range of stall holders. From pre-loved items to handcrafted masterpieces. We are keeping the cost of a ta-

ble right down to support those needing to make a bit of extra income in these tough times. We also welcome buskers to be a part of the happenings. ‘The Bazaar kicks off at 10am and will go through to 2pm. Everyone is welcome to come and check it out.’ For inquiries about the Bazaar please contact the Cultural Centre on 6685 6807.

Take another look at drug laws: MardiGrass Nimbin’s 17th annual MardiGrass gathering of cannabis law reformers is on track for ‘a big weekend with a smorgasboard of events’ on May 2 and 3, say organisers. Following a year of intensive and expensive police raids in the village, which appear to have made little impact on their lifestyle and popularity, they say, organisers are calling for a fresh look at our cannabis laws and attitude towards drug use, as the tenth anniversary of Bob Carr’s 1999 Drug Summit approaches. ’Surely it’s time we reviewed this war on drugs, and its con-

sequences. This war which criminalises our young people for youthful experimentation with a reasonably safe euphoric herb as it deprives the sick of an effective painkiller,’ said spokesman Michael Balderstone. This year’s MardiGrass includes a forum with visitors from overseas who have Medical Cannabis cards. ’You can hear for yourself how medical cannabis works in their country. California has had legal medical pot for over a decade, and without an epidemic of psychosis. In fact, 14 American states now allow cannabis

for medical reasons. President Obama said publicly he thinks medical marijuana is entirely appropriate, and we agree. If only he’d share a reefer with our PM. ‘In Australia meanwhile, Howard’s Reefer Madness worked a treat, including on Kevin Rudd, our “man of compassion”. He needs educating on this issue and we are urging people to write to him with their story. Tell him how cannabis has worked for you and how prohibition has adversely affected you. If the truth can be told so it is understood, it

will be believed.’ The ‘Send Rudd a Bud Campaign’ at MardiGrass will provide 100% hemp paper for people to write their story on. The Hemp Olympix has a new gold medal event this year, ‘correct weight’. Contestants get a standard cliplock bag and aim to fill it with 28.3495 grams of… probably mugwort, or industrial hemp. The other popular Olympix events, the Growers Ironperson, Bong Throw and of course the Speed and Artistic Joint Rolling are all on again as usual. ■ More details, page 22

Crisis, what crisis? Sapoty’s call unheeded

Story & photo Lou Beaumont

In the letters pages of last week’s Echo, Mullumbimby local Sapoty Brook relayed some alarming facts on the current and potential future state of the planet and invited people to join him to demonstrate their concern outside Byron Shire Council chambers last Friday April 24. His hope was to gather enough people to petition Council to declare a State of Carbon Emergency and alter their policies accordingly. One person showed up, and that was Sapoty himself. Brook told The Echo, ‘I am mystified to be honest, I would like to know what drives people to act. Perhaps people close down because the problem is so huge, but as a Shire we must take unilateral action immediately. ‘I believe the Shire Council must declare a State of Carbon Emergency and reallocate at least 30% of the total budget to renewable energy, resilience building initiatives, and biochar carbon sequestration. ‘I realise the problem is overwhelming and it invokes much anxiety, but fear is healthy because it can motivate action. If you want to avoid this fear, consider that fear now is better than terror in ten or twenty years. ‘Take time out to integrate your fear and transform it into

tures in Local Ecology Byron Bay, Australia, 2007-2009. Fifty-three Echo stories, over 300 photos and a slideshow constitute this interactive DVD complete with gorgeous artwork and music, and introduced with a foreward by Byron Shire mayor Jan Barham, who describes it as ‘an essential information guide to Byron Bay’. As Mary herself points out, there is constant publicity about Byron Bay as a ‘party town’ but more deserving is the focus on that whole other side, the intricate mysteries of the environment or, in the words of her regular companion Al-

bert Atkins, ‘the commonplace miracles and wonders of the natural world’. It is a lovely production, thanks to web-designer John Giles, artist Favian Sampson and musician Tim Shanasy, whose evocative improvisations were played on his unique grand piano, a Bechstein built in 1897. Mary will launch the DVD at the Byron Community Cultural Centre on Thursday May 7 at 6pm, in the Southern Cross Room. Mayor Jan Barham will introduce the evening. Copies of the DVD will be available for around $40, and everyone is invited to attend.

“Stock Market Crashes & Mullumbimby Couple Laugh All The Way To The Bank!” Smart Investors are profiting from current market conditions! Are you avoiding the share market or pouncing on these amazing opportunities? Chances are, you’ve never heard the amazing secrets that I’m about to reveal to you. And if you have, then I guarantee that you’ve never heard them explained so simply that you can instantly apply them for your own profit! I am going to reveal to you how within a VERY short time, you could be living the lifestyle you want— trading the Share Market—and potentially make an astonishing income by employing a proven… incredibly simple… set of principles. Imagine making a profit on the market— whether it’s rising or falling! (How would it feel to laugh with joy as the market crashes)? My question has always been—”how can I put in a minimum amount of effort...and take out a maximum amount of profit”? Am I lazy? No! But there are things in life that I prefer to devote my time to rather than working every day. So why not try and get the greatest amount of gain from the least amount of effort! I have devised some strategies that have created a lifestyle for me that only a few people EVER get to experience. Now you can be part of an exclusive group of people. I am going to show you a truly wonderful way to boost your income with less stress and difficulty. You don’t need lots of money to get started. Could you enjoy a lifestyle that allows you all the time and money to do whatever you want, when you want – like go on a holiday to your favourite place, stay at the best resort, and not worry about the cost. Anyone with desire can achieve success, and in this DVD program I will prove it to you. I have done all the hard work in locating, trialling and selecting the best strategies for you. To do this on your own would take years, and I know first hand because that is how I had to learn.

Quality shares are at prices not seen in years. Are you taking advantage of them? x Find out how to replace your income. x How to think like a millionaire (because the funny thing is—when you change your thoughts, you change your results!). x The incredible way 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 Why getting high returns does not have to mean taking high risks. x How to 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 How to use money from the market to pay for holidays (pay for your skiing trips… overseas holidays… leisure activities!) x Learn the silly things to avoid—that most people do when trading shares. 8 April 28, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

x How to do the opposite of what most people do on the stock market—and potentially make an absolute fortune. x How to make investing your hobby (but a hobby that might earn you thousands of dollars… or perhaps replace your current income. 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 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).

Minister heavies Council on West Byron land release

Symposium looks at development The Will of the People Project presents the third Byron Shire Symposium this Sunday May 3, 3pm-7pm at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre. The Symposium features a multimedia presentation by architect and sustainability Consultant Gabi Bohnet entitled ‘Democratic and Sustainable Urban Development: the Freiburg Model’. Gabi’s presentation portrays the ‘fantastically inspiring successes of a showcase urban community development in Freiburg, Germany, according

to organisers. ‘The Freiburg Model effectively leads the way in both sustainable design and democratic process for urban development. ‘Gabi’s presentation (that has inspired numerous planners, communities and councils over many years of her sustainability advocacy) will set the stage for a lively Community Forum. ‘The Freiburg Model provides an “expanded view of the possible” as Freiburg’s council and residents created a mixed use village for 5,000 people,

A Council map of the West Byron land under scrutiny. The 106 hectares in seven parcels runs along Ewingsdale Road from Belongil Creek to the Sunnybrand buffer. Michael McDonald

NSW planning minister Kristina Keneally has put the screws on Byron Shire Council, urging the council to move lands under investigation for development at West Byron into the upcoming Local environmental Plan (LEP). In a letter of March 25 to Council general manager Graeme Faulkner, Ms Kenneally said, ‘I am concerned that there has been no outcome regarding my request for a timetable to progress rezonings for land at West Byron.’ Ms Kenneally went on to say, ‘While I am aware that some constraints exist to development of this land, I can see no reason why the LEP process could not commence so that detailed consideration of the proposal could occur. This land is identified in the Far North Coast Regional Strategy as the only land available for the expansion of Byron Bay.’

Minister lobbied The land in question runs along the south side of Ewingsdale Road from Belongil Creek out to the Sunnybrand chicken plant, some 106 hectares in all. Some seven landowners, under the umbrella of the West Byron Landowners Group, have been lobbying the Minister to get rezoning for development. The major players are the Belongil Fields owners and Crighton Properties, a Central Coast development company. The lot yield is debatable but could range from 700 to 1,000 lots. In response to the Minister’s push, Byron Shire councillors last week rejected a staff recommendation to include the Belongil Fields parcel in the LEP. Instead, they voted for Council officers to meet with the landowners and proponents www.echo.net.au

of the proposed LEP amendment for the Belongil Fields ‘to inform them of recent studies and reports that present constraints and restrictions to the future development of those lands’, such as the related traffic study, Belongil flood study and climate change impacts, and environmental zoning/studies. Staff have also been directed to meet with owners of the other West Byron lands to discuss those constraints as well as the buffer zone to Sunnybrand. Council planners are also expected to meet with Department of Planning officers to discuss the West Byron issue.

Mayor responds Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘The Minister states she is aware of some constraints, but doesn’t see why the rezoning LEP shouldn’t commence. It appears the Minister hasn’t been properly informed of the many assessments that have been undertaken for the land over the last ten years that have repeatedly excluded high density or medium density for that land. ‘She also states incorrectly that the land has been included in earlier urban release strategies. This is untrue – in fact, after assessment it had been rejected from strategies. ‘Byron Shire Council has had clear advice regarding the constraints to development on the West Byron lands including traffic, flooding, biodiversity and the buffer to Sunnybrand. ‘The recently completed MR545 Strategic Traffic Study has revealed that the road is already at capacity. A suggested measure to partially alleviate the congestion is stalled pending State Government approval of a second rail crossing. ‘The consideration of climate change impacts and particularly flood has also identified that the

land is at risk and therefore unsuitable for major development. ‘The state government seems to be suggesting that Council not follow best practice in relation to these lands. Council has also been advised that the landowners have approached the Department of Planning seeking a state initiated outcome if Council aren’t willing to progress the rezoning. Conservationist Dailan Pugh has also expressed his opposition to West Byron lands development. ‘Once the LEP approves residential and commercial development of these areas the State can take over,’ he said. As to the staff report, Mr Pugh claimed ‘They are justifying the developments based on the controversial Byron Residential Development Strategy 1993, they dismiss the 2002 Byron Bay-Suffolk Park Settlement Strategy’s rejection of these areas for residential development as irrelevant. They refuse to first prepare a Local Growth Management Strategy, despite having previously identified this as necessary.

Mr Pugh said the land development ‘will change the nature and perception of Byron Bay and turn us into just another over-developed sprawling coastal metropolis – which is already happening.’ ■ Comment, page 10

Hacking a path towards recovery Volume 23 #46

April 28, 2009

Ministerial push The constant struggle Byron Shire Council faces in being the ‘bastard child’ of state government – as Cr Ross Tucker once put it – is shown in the NSW planning minister’s push for land development at West Byron. See news story page 9. Minister Kristina Kenneally wants the 100 hectare parcel of West Byron lands put into Council’s draft Local Environmental Plan for rezoning. Her reasons for doing so are flimsy, especially the reliance on settlement strategies which time and tide have overtaken. Councillors have had the courage to say no. If the state government wants to overdevelop the coastline, why should the blood be on the local council’s hands? Instead councillors have pointed to cogent reasons why the development cannot go ahead as yet – if at all. The reasons given include traffic, flooding, climate change and environmental impacts. The first hurdle to development is the road system into and around Byron Bay. According to the 2008 Strategic Study of Main Road 545 – the 19km long transport corridor from the Pacific Highway interchange along Ewingsdale Road to the southern LGA boundary with Ballina – the upgrade of Ewingsdale Road to four lanes alone will cost $8 million, not to mention a bypass of some sort for the town centre. It seems Ms Kenneally has not been talking to the roads minister or the transport minister, or she would know Council has been unable to acquire the permission or the funding for such an upgrade. While Ms Kenneally notes that the West Byron land is identified in the Far North Coast Regional Strategy as ‘the only land available for the expansion of Byron Bay’, she fails to mention the restraints Council needs to consider before advancing to rezoning. And while the Minister tells Council a Local Growth Management Strategy is not required under the Far North Coast Regional Strategy – in order to see how lands such as West Byron fit into shire development as a whole – her own department in its settlement planning guidelines suggests, ‘A local growth management strategy will be the mechanism that supports effective and integrated planning across the local government area. By applying the vision and strategic directions outlined in the regional strategies at the local level councils will be able to develop a framework for their local growth management strategy. The local strategy will then guide the development of new local environmental plans and development control plans to implement policy.’ That makes sense. How can you tell how much development you can afford and where until you have an overall strategy? Remember that according to the Far North Coast Regional Strategy we have a ration of 2,600 new dwellings to see us out to 2031. Should West Byron get, say 500 of these at a minimum? Councillors also moved 6-3 last week to start the growth management strategy process, so maybe we will see. The state government has an arse-about approach to its own strategies, one of develop first, ask questions later. It is contrary to most of the planning that Byron Shire has engaged in since at least 1988 and contrary to the much-vaunted ‘precautionary principle’. No wonder some of our elected councillors resist. Given the changes to NSW laws a succession of planning ministers has effectively robbed us of major planning powers in our own communities. Ms Kenneally is only the latest to assert the ministerial hubris. – Michael McDonald, editor

t the last election campaign Kevin Rudd sold himself to the voters as a man of the future, and so it’s proving. Even before we have the official figures to prove that we’ve gone into recession, his government is talking about how we’re going to manage the recovery – and not just the period of convalescence but the renewal of robust economic health. Admittedly Rudd’s not alone in his optimism; not for the first time he is in tune with Barack Obama, who last week claimed to see glimmers of light at the end of the tunnel. And indeed it is not all gloom and doom; it never is. There have been moments, now and then, when it seems that the punters are regaining a few shreds of confidence. Various surveys have suggested that there are pockets of at least temporary activity dotted around the economy and from time to time the stock market has taken a tentative lurch upward. But while our leaders are absolutely right to try and fan these embers of hope, they would be most unwise to put what’s left of the rent on them. Economies seldom fall like meteors, in an uninterrupted, catastrophic descent. They tend to behave more like avalanches, with bits sweeping away everything in their paths but leaving patches of landscape almost untouched – and of course there are always a few cases of miraculous survival. Even the Great Crash of 1929 was an episodic affair. Legend has it that the market plunged like a banker leaping from a skyscraper window (another legend, incidentally; almost all of them survived to plunder again) but in fact

A

it bounced around for some weeks before really hitting bottom. The current crisis has little in common with the events that led up to the Great Depression, but it is likely to be long and painful, and it almost certainly has a long way to go before grounding out. And even when it does, the process of rehabilitation will be neither quick nor straightforward. While it is natural

Economies seldom fall like meteors, in an uninterrupted, catastrophic descent. They tend to behave more like avalanches… by Mungo MacCallum and even commendable for governments to be positive as they look forward, they should also be realistic about dealing with the illness before deciding how they’ll celebrate when the patient is eventually released. To be fair, Rudd and his treasurer Wayne Swan, who appears to thrive on crisis management, have both made it clear that things will get worse before they get better. It is already clear that the losers in the forthcoming budget will not just be the richest in the community; the cuts will have to work their way well down into the middle income groups to achieve the kind of savings Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner, who remains the most realistic voice in Canberra, has foreshadowed. Even more telling, at least some of those expecting a boost may be disappointed. Single pensioners will undoubtedly get a rise, but it is unlikely to be on the scale

overseas and in any case are working off a blank sheet; there are simply no precedents they can invoke to guide them. And it should be said that in the circumstances they have done pretty well. After the first day of the G20 meeting in Washington Swan said that there wasn’t a finance minister in the room who wouldn’t be glad to swap places with Australia. Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he? But no-one – not even Malcolm Turnbull – has said he’s wrong. Indeed no less a figure than the chief economist with the International Monetary Fund, Olivier Blanchard, has rather implied that he is right. The IMF forecast for Australia’s contraction (or negative growth, as economists insist on calling it) this year is just 1.4 percent. This is a fraction above the global average of 1.3, but by far the best of the developed economies, whose average is 3.8. Moreover, Australia is almost unique

among the G20 in not having had a major bank failure or bail-out. And to date it has maintained its AAA credit rating, although borrowing beyond the $200 billion limit (which may become necessary to fund further stimulus programs) would put this in some jeopardy. Rudd is not bragging when he says that, comparatively speaking, Australian remains in pretty good shape. Moreover he has the general endorsement of the IMF: Blanchard praised the speed and size of the initial stimulus packages, and says they should continue in the form of infrastructure spending (to which the government is already committed) or targeted rebates to encourage spending (like, for instance, the first home owner’s grant). So whenever the recovery does get under way (and don’t hold your breath) Australia should be extremely well placed to become a preferred destination for investment. We may not offer the maximum return, but we will have demonstrated we can absolutely minimise the risks. Continuing and capitalising on our relative economic stability is unquestionably the way forward. And if that involves the odd moment of buoyancy, so be it. Which is why it was so silly of the opposition’s Treasury spokesman, Joe Hockey, to accuse Rudd of using the recession to distract attention from asylum seekers, as if the global financial crisis was less important than a couple of hundred would-be refugees. Hockey and his more excitable mates need to forget the tabloids and get back to political reality. It’s the economy, stupid.

Letters

Regulating for the common good As a member of the original committee formed back in the 90s to work with Council’s Environmental Planning Director, David Kanaley, to create a new Rural Residential Strategy, I get really annoyed when people who probably know very little about the Strategy – except the bits that interfere with their plans, come out to criticise it, again and again. David received state government awards for his work and the Strategy was innovative at the time, a vast improvement on the ad hoc development that preceded it. I can attest to its sound planning basis and the careful work that was done but of course it should have been reviewed well before now as this Shire has changed so much and the RRS probably needs to accommodate some of the changes. However I don’t agree that Council should allow unregulated dwellings in rural areas, for all the reasons that Cr Tom Tabart (and others) have pointed out and congratulations to Michele Grant (Letters, April

21) for her illuminating analysis of how today’s problems have developed, also her acknowledgement of the difficulties Council faces in trying to deal with them. The evils of illegal renting, ie holiday letting, in residential areas have been well canvassed and I hope Council will make compliance in this area a top priority if the new precinct policy is adopted – which I hope it is as otherwise regulation and policing will be way beyond Council’s resources. In rural areas Council staff have said they will respond to complaints and, given the limitation of resources, this seems reasonable, at least as an interim measure. However there are many more issues with non-compliance in rural areas than the emotive ones raised by some of your letter writers. What about landowners who develop well beyond an initial, limited approval and others who build additional accommodation with no approval at all – not from any wish to help the less

Fine theatre

council investments as the financial crisis goes from bad to catastrophic, Byron is not Gosford. The last independent report received put only two of our investments in the ‘at risk’ category and even the bottom one had a (then) 70% chance of redemption. Sure we are losing some interest but it is a mystery how Mr Weiley arrived at the ‘70% disastrous’ category, perhaps his mate the ‘Burringbar Banker’ who has had a lot to say on the subject is pulling his strings? It is probably news to the majority but councillors don’t get to ‘wave through appalling investment policies’. ICAC has reservations about elected reps divying up the community funds among their favorite derivatives. I thought I had explained Council’s conundrum on the subject of unapproved dwellings after the unfortunate Echo editorial, but I suppose I must accept that it is ‘local lore’ that reasoned argument

â–

I wish to publicly thank the producer and director Jennie Hicks and actors of the recent Pinter Plays in the Drill Hall. It was exciting to watch actors with skill in their field produce thought-provoking stuff well. The little drill hall has more power by virtue of its intimacy with the audience, proving again that good theatre doesn’t have to be grandiose and expensive. Congratulations. This shire can produce its own classical theatre, dance and music well. Ian Knowles

Myocum

Defending Council Seems Mr John Weiley (emerging from the natural egosystem in Echo letters, April 21) may have been bitten on the ankle by a rabid parking inspector. How else could his ubiquitous spray at Council be rationalised? While there is certainly potential ‘trouble at mill’ with

well-off but rather to line their own pockets and of course avoiding any contributions to Council. All this illegal development can be very detrimental to both neighbours and the environment. As Michele has so comprehensively summarised, this Shire has changed in many ways and while we might not like all the changes, it seems to me they make it necessary for Council to apply its regulatory powers for the good of all of us. Jenny Coman

Bangalow â– Perhaps

General Manager of Byron Shire Council, Graeme Faulkner, could expand on what he means by ‘It is not appropriate to have two development standards – one for people who go through the correct development process and another for people who choose not to.’ He says, ‘It is inequitable.’ Inequitable for one person may be pro-choice for another.

Further, it can be argued that offering what could be seen to be an expensive development model is inequitable in that it forces say a potential teepee dweller to have to work long hours at a job they may not like, to maintain a living standard that has no interest to them. There is also inequity in the fact that the present system of ‘correct development’ is the major part of the reason why Australians are amongst the largest per capita greenhouse gas producers in the world. The view now held by Council that two development standards would be inequitable needs to be discussed not least because I submitted a document on affordable housing to Byron Shire Council, in which a dual system was proposed.

Uki away from the substantive issues and focussing it instead of the motives and personalities of the protagonists. Max Eastcott was a master of this tactic, and in the short term it works – certainly on those who don’t appreciate the uncomfortable propositions being put before them and are looking for an excuse to disregard them. I imagine that such people read that Other Local Paper, where they’ll rarely encounter anything too confrontational. Anyway when I reluctantly re-entered the political fray late last year in relation to the Rural Strategy I made it clear in a letter to the editor that I was doing so out of personal interest, if you’ll forgive me on

this occasion. What can you say then when months later some genius asserts, ‘He’s got a personal agenda’? Even if I hadn’t declared it, so what? The reality is that frequently it is only through the course of pursuing one’s legitimate private interests that one encounters problems of the sort that lead to the question ‘What’s going on here?’ It is an entirely natural response to reflect that perhaps the problems one has encountered are caused by an institutional and cultural bias. If so, that problem needs to be addressed, and the first essential step in that direction is publicity so that those with similar experiences can connect with each other. And so we end up with a group of people essentially pursuing their interests but combining into a force that pushes for change which will benefit everyone, and thereby becoming overtly political in nature. Sounds fairly legitimate to me. Fast Buck$

Commonsense

‘Out Of Our Depth’ April 21, having a whinge about advice given from the SES or Council’s seemingly inaccurate flood depth indicators. God, life must be tough for the people that cannot accept the fact that they chose to live at an address that has temporary access problems. Goodness gracious, in the highest rainfall precinct in the state. The much derided redneck, often confused with the good old-fashioned rural Aussie, would never be caught out by a flooded causeway or creek. That’s because they possess a secret weapon. It’s called commonsense. Automatically there is an override of commonsense and no need to blame. You work it out like an adult. You take precautions that are practical. Like getting out of your car, taking off your shoes, rolling up your pants or hitching up your skirt, and walking carefully through the water to gauge the depth. If this seems too risky then you turn around and make do with the situation. Not exactly rocket science. Then again it will probably be the same redneck, oops sorry, I meant lovely rural Australian person, that tows or winches you out of the shit, or has the commonsense to carry jumper leads if your car battery has died.

Turkish humility

A word of praise to Turkish society for having demonstrated such extraordinary civility, for many years, during the ANZAC Day celebrations at Gallipoli. There has never been any opposition, protestation, or disruption at Gallipoli on ANZAC Day by any Turkish political party, politician, any other organisation, anybody in the media, or any single individual at all throughout the years. I am not suggesting for a moment that there should be, on the contrary, I am expressing my admiration to the Turks for going against the trend by displaying such extraordinary magnanimity and humility in an increasingly Americanised world that is becoming more jingoistic and vulgar by the minute. I am not aware of any tradition, such as ANZAC Day at Gallipoli, anywhere else in the world. Certainly I cannot imagine that the sight of flag-waving descendants of an invasion force would be tolerated inside any one of the domineering, arrogant Western countries that consider it to be its God-given right to ‘defend its interests’ by attacking anybody, anywhere in the world, but regards even the suggestion to be outrageous that othRob Flynn ers might also have the right Coorabell to defend their interests, their

Amazingly, for someone whose prime concern seems to be saving Aussie jobs, the solutions he proposes would result in a far greater loss of jobs. ‘Consume less’ is his mantra. Recycling, repairing, downsizing and growing our own vegies are apparently the panaceas which will restore our once great Aussie economy to its former glory. Unfortunately, I don’t believe Paul has thought the matter through sufficiently, for if he had he would’ve realised that not a single job will be created by his proposals. Instead, many more jobs would be lost.

Woolworths, wastewater and wickedness If the onsite sewage treatment proposed by Woolworths is rejected by Council and the matter is not challenged by Woolworths, it may only delay the opening of the supermarket until the sewage treatment plant has been completed. However, the impact of the modified building which includes a partially suspended car park will increase the 1 in 50 years flood velocity and flood level near the building. The design approved under the DA did not have this impact because the car park was at existing ground level with a fairly narrow pedestrian ramp up to the building. The impact of the elevated car park on flooding was not examined properly by Woolworth or Planning NSW during the Section 96 which dealt with the proposed changes to the project. The project as proposed will definitely increase flood currents and levels in the vicinity of the supermarket and this will include Station Street and

Allow me to highlight some of the brutal realities. For example, if everyone moved to a five acre plot in the countryside and grew their own vegies, then who would work in the factories making our bicycles? The Chinese perhaps? Never mind the bicycles, who would make the steel? Or mine the iron ore? Or pay for, build and operate the railway system that transports the iron ore and coal to the blast furnaces? We would not only have to do without our beloved cars but also without all that wonderful steel! Oh no‌ no more bicycles! What’s worse is that there’d be no more knives. And no more knives means no more life saving surgery. Actually, there’d be no doctors at all because they’d all be too busy growing potatoes. Even if people could pay their doctor’s bill using barter, there still wouldn’t be any doctors because there won’t be any universities to educate them.

the houses on the opposite side of the road. This impact is totally unacceptable. A further issue relates to the excavation to be dug under the building. Under wet conditions it will fill with water which will not be able to empty due to the drainage in Station Street being at a higher level. This pond will be ideal for the breeding of mosquitoes and, with the increase in the number of cases of Dengue and other mosquito born diseases, such ponding is totally unacceptable. Chris Abraham

Whatever happened to the backyard toilet with those little doors opening onto the lane? Children devised a lot of pleasure opening those doors and dropping bungers in the can. A highlight was finding the toilet occupied. School teachers were a popular target. With the advent of sewerage all that fun has literally gone down the drain, and I’m surprised the children’s rights groups haven’t got onto this long ago. What is there now for kids – only to go around spraying paint everywhere? At least with the bunger you could just hose the toilet down and it was good as new.

Sure NSW Planning might have rolled over to Woolworths’ ambitions, however lets hope our Council has the courage to stand up to Woolworths and their QCs. So many of us feel we have been tricked by Mallams/ Woolworths and let down by the powers to be. Supported by our legal advice, we know that should BSC grant Woolworths’ S68 application then it will be well worth this community challenging such an unfortunate decision in the Land and Environment Court.

Let me explain: If we all grow our own vegies then thousands of farmers will lose their jobs; as will thousands of truckies that bring the vegies from the farm to the shops; as will thousands of people who work at supermarkets and vegie shops.

Think of all the Aussie battlers who will lose their jobs if we buy pushbikes instead of 4WDs! And please don’t delude yourself that your choice to recycle and repair will create more Aussie jobs, because it won’t, it will do the exact opposite. I’m not saying that recycling and repairing is a bad thing, all I’m saying is that it will reduce not create jobs. In my opinion, buying from China is better than Paul’s suggestions because then at least the Chinese employees will be able to feed and clothe their children. If we all return to living in a sort of subsistence economy then neither the Chinese nor the Australian family will have a decent living. I have several friends who share a similarly misplaced starry-eyed longing for a time in the near future when, they hope, the world economy will collapse and we will all be forced to live a simpler, more home-grown existence. They romantically dream of the supposed benefits while completely ignoring the brutal realities that a subsistence economy would entail.

the fact that street dogs are very territorial. Our shelter began a program of catching, spaying, vaccinating, identifying with ear-notch and returning to the street after a full recovery, the street dogs of Jaipur. At first our shelter received much resistance from the municipality, but after the program had been in operation for some years, the incidence of human rabies in the area we worked was reduced to nil, and the municipality was so pleased with the results they provided a facility to the north of the city so we could extend the program. The whole attitude of the people of Jaipur towards the dogs changed. The efficacy of the program has been recognised in publications such as Control of Street Dogs in Jaipur India, published by the British Veterinary Association (16.9.06, www.his-india.org. au/pdf/Reece.pdf). Poisoning is not only cruel: it is a quick-fix solution which has no permanent effects. The successful ABC (animal birth control) program in Jaipur could be followed in Bali with long-term beneficial results. Christine Townend

Prediction business As I listen to the radio and hear current weather predictions, while watching the predicted system heading out to

sea, I can’t help but wonder how does one get into the prediction business? Or more importantly how does one get to be paid for one’s prognostications? Is it merely a matter of mastering the jargon? For example, I and many of my friends have been aware that the current economic model was bound to fail and yet most of the highly intelligent and expensively educated commentators have subscribed to the ‘magic pudding’ hypothesis. They have made millions sending the punters into penury. They are now expressing great surprise at the state we are in but continue to advocate propping up a failed system. The same people I speak to are acutely aware of the failure of the ‘war on drugs’ approach. Lip service is paid to ‘due diligence’ and ‘cost benefit analysis’ but who is doing the cost benefit analysis of the war on drugs? Someone once said that insanity is continuing to do the same thing but expecting different results. Before we seek to measure the reliability of any prediction let us consider that, while ‘sailing on uncharted waters’ those on the bridge don’t have a map. Whose opinions should take precedence, the ‘experts’ of the failed systems or the lookouts on the bow who tried to warn of the reefs ahead?

Village overwhelmed by development I have been reading with interest, and considerable support, recent letters from correspondents like Gary Scott, Duncan Dey and Deborah Lilly about Woolworths’ septic problems, and I cannot help but draw some comparisons between that proposed development and some others within the Shire. If Woolworths proposed onsite sewerage system is not acceptable to the NSW Dept of Planning then it should not be acceptable to Byron Shire Council as well, and should not be issued a Section 68 certificate. No certificate means no development can proceed until Woolworths comes up with some realistic alternative,

or withdraws its DA and decamps. That being the case, the same should apply to other developments, where onsite sewerage systems situated on boggy, flood-prone land are proposed. Two in particular I speak of are the Davies and Regenesis developments proposed for the Main Arm Village. Their DAs propose up to 50 mostly cluster type houses that will surround the existing village (that consists of 12 houses), each with its own onsite sewerage system, to be built on floodplain, along the course and at the confluence of two major watercourses, the Upper Main Arm of the Brunswick River and Blindmouth Creek,

both of which flood furiously a few times a year. Three times already this year. That’s 50 houses with at least 50 toilets and approximately 250 people’s shit and piss each day, not to mention their grey water, going into their individual systems that rely on electricity to keep them operational. Not one of them would qualify for a Section 68 Certificate! Any failure of electricity supply, any flooding of more than a one in one year minor flood, could cause contamination of the Brunswick River, already defined as one of the most polluted rivers in NSW, and its dependent environment. Soon the Davies’ DA will be up before Council, the viewing

and submisssion period being finished. Regenesis’ new DA will be in soon. Woolworths is threatening to build. If you think the Woolworths proposed onsite sewerage system sounds preposterous and unworkable, I dare say you are right. The proposed Main Arm developments are equally proposterous and unworkable. All three developments have huge community opposition, pose significant threats to our environment, amenity, and public health and the developers should be sent packing. Maintain your rage. Thank you.

Truly free enterprise

nomic crisis and asserts that speculative bubbles are not attributable to a breakdown in the free market. Adam Smith, a champion of free enterprise, may have overlooked the most crucial area of all: to have free enterprise in banking. If a free market is a measure of justice and democracy, we have not reached it yet. History reveals that when zero-interest banking surfaced successfully, it was always short-lived in the face of coercion from vested interests.

If I were in O’Rourke’s position addressing the nation’s top capitalists, it would be about repairing this oversight. True free enterprise banking would eliminate fractional reserve banking and interest, and hence inflation. Imagine business without interest and inflation. Grasp the possibilities when the imperative of growth for survival is eliminated. Add to that greatly reduced taxation, since governments’ interest bills are eliminated. Consider social and politi-

cal dividends such as removal of conflict between capital and labour over the share of a shrinking cake. It stopped shrinking. The evironment benefits from greatly reduced demands for resources. Benefits are limited only by the imagination.

Perhaps there is a bar on discussion on some of the foundations of capitalism in the letters pages of the major daily newspapers. The obvious one is the role of interest rates. A revered father of capitalism was Adam Smith. American comedian and fan of Adam Smith, P J O’Rourke, has just given the annual keynote address at the Centre for Independent Studies.

Ina aims for a better, educated future for Timor-Leste Ina Bradridge, whose Hope Orphanage has been supported by Byron Shire residents, has a passionate vision for her country. She wants to bring high quality education to the Timorese people. Having just graduated with a Master of Indigenous Studies, she now wants to embark on a Master of Education degree, and use her skills and knowledge to help other Timorese people get an education. Ina was presented with her degree by Southern Cross University Chancellor John Dowd at a graduation ceremony in Sydney at the Wesley Conference Centre. The Occasional Address at the ceremony was given by Mr Abel Guterres, Consul General of The Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. ‘I am just a village girl who got lucky,’ Ina said. ‘I have had the encouragement, mentoring and scholarship support from Southern Cross University to come to Australia to better myself. But what about the thousands of other Timorese men and women who have not had this wonderful opportunity?

‘Because of our country’s history of invasion and fighting for independence, education has suffered terribly. About 66 per cent of the Timorese people are illiterate. They can’t read or write. ‘There are also many Timorese people working in professional capacities who do not have the skills or education to adequately deal with the complexities of the issues they are being faced with. Their skills need upgrading and broadening if they are to meet the challenges facing the nation. ‘But almost before we can deal with the education problem, we need to deal with the even bigger issue of recovering from the trauma of war and the subsequent destruction of our Tetun language and culture by invading forces. People are still dealing with the pain of the grief of having lost loved ones and the suffering caused by the destruction of the land and the rich traditional peace-loving culture. ‘In the past, conflict between villages was solved through a clear process of independent mediation we know as “matte

ful processes. These need to be resurrected. ‘But it is hard to move forward if you have lost your roots, your traditional knowledge, and if your identity as a nation has been eroded. Plus, if you can’t work through your anger, sadness and grief you get stuck physically and emotionally.’ Supported by Professor Judy Atkinson, head of Gnibi College of Indigenous Australian Peoples, Ina has been teaching components of Southern Cross University’s Diploma of Community Recovery to a small group of AusAIDfunded community workers in Timor-Leste. The pair have also run courses helping people to deal with loss and grief, based on Professor Atkinson’s expertise in Ina Bradridge, who graduated with a Master of Indigenous trauma and healing.

soon become an integral part of the training for the country’s health services, teachers, police and military forces, too. She hopes the course will enable workers in both the government and community sectors to become skilled in helping people develop the strategies they need to recover from the traumas they have suffered, and that it will encourage natural leaders to develop. As much as possible, the courses are being taught in Tetun, to make them more accessible to a wider group of Timorese. Ina’s next goal is to help develop the nation’s literacy and numeracy skills and to progress tertiary education opportunities. She hopes to work with Southern Cross University to find organisations prepared to help fund her dreams for the Timorese people. ■For more information about Hope Orphanage visit http:// hopeintimor.blogspot.com

es in the economy have resulted in greater opportunities for artists and creative businesses. ‘In the old economy creative business tries to emulate traditional business models,’ she says. ‘And in this situation, businesses can often underutilise the creative assets that are the very basis upon which their companies are founded and trade. ‘In the new creative economy, multiple streams of revenue are possible. The key is to identify your creative assets, make your pitch and translate these assets into revenue streams.’ Helene invites all artists and creative professionals to attend this workshop and make the shift to the creative economy – local, niche, customised or international. The workshops will take place in Byron Bay from 9.30am to 3.30pm each day. Registration costs $55 per workshop, which includes a light lunch. Book now to secure your place. Call Arts Northern Rivers on 6628 8120, or email info@artsnorthernrivers.com. au.

Calling all artists and creative professionals. Arts Northern Rivers is thrilled to present two workshops for people who want to earn revenue from their creative abilities. Next week, Arts Northern Rivers, in conjunction with Brisbane based company, Creative Economy, is presenting two one-day workshops, suitable for anyone who is serious about making a living in the fields of visual art, music, fashion, publishing, design or any other creative industry sector. On Wednesday April 29, Anthony Merrilees (a practising solicitor and ARIA award winning musician) will present ‘Legalease’, a workshop to help artists manage their intellectual property, including how to maximise revenue from this valuable business asset. On Thursday April 30, Helene George, (business consultant and Company Director of Creative Economy) will instruct participants on ‘Making the Pitch and Diversifying Your Income Streams’.

Youth homelessness a big issue for Northern Rivers Angela Ward

On any night in Australia there are 105,000 homeless people. Nearly half of all homeless Australians are children and young people under the age of 25. There were 44,547 children and young people aged 0-25 who were homeless on census night in 2006. Tragically one in every 42 children under five years in Australia uses a homeless service each year. These are generally children escaping domestic violence with their mother. There are nearly 10,000 homeless school students in Australia aged between 12 and 18 years old. We often hear the reference to ‘street kids’ but in fact most homeless young people are invisible to us. The data tells us that most homeless young people are ‘couch surfing’ and

living in other unstable situations. This generally means that they are temporarily staying with friends, relatives, family and sometimes with complete strangers. These young people will often be sleeping on couches or on the floors of these people’s houses until they outstay their welcome and move on to the next place. Of the remaining youth homeless population, 15% are living in a refuge, hostel or transitional housing and 1% are sleeping rough (on the street, in a car or tent or squatting). This is contrary to what the general public might assume in that homeless people are generally thought to live on the streets or in refuge accommodation. You don’t have to be houseless to be homeless. These young people are not

person are. Unfortunately with lack of adequate funding and resources the Youth House and other essential services see many young people that fall through the gaps. On Youth Homeless Matters Day the Byron Bay Youth House held an information morning at Railway Park. It was about raising public awareness and to celebrate the resilience of young people who are experiencing homelessness in Australia and the Northern Rivers.

No empathy

visible to the public yet they are a large proportion of the homeless youth population. Young people do not need rough sleeping initiatives alone but rather they need effective access to accommodation, family reconciliation services and community support and education programs to prevent homelessness.

There are a variety of reasons why children and young people become homeless that are often outside of the control of the young person. The general public often has a view that young homeless people are runaways and could really return home if they wanted to. In reality many young people become homeless due to family breakdown, family violence and child abuse. Can you imagine trying to maintain education or employment when you have no stable living arrangement? Many young people are expected to secure and maintain a job without stable accommodation and support. Some

people also believe that getting a job will resolve homelessness by providing an income but this does not acknowledge the underlying causes of homelessness in young people. Young people require safety and security, trust and an appropriate support network for them to succeed at anything. The Byron Bay Youth House is a short term crisis refuge for young people 16 -24 years, supporting young people with early intervention, accommodation and follow-up programs. The Byron Bay Youth House is a not for profit organisation overseen by a management committee and service coordinator. The Youth House is funded by DoCS though not adequately enough to support our programs therefore we are always in need of volunteer caretakers and donations. Our geographical area is from Grafton to Tweed Heads, we are the only crisis accommodation for 16-24 years and we only have five beds! We also have three medium term units which can house up to two people per unit and as you can

appreciate the turnover is very slow being medium term. The Youth House has a team of youth workers that support young people to identify their specific needs in relation to independent living skills which will assist them to either return to the parental home or find other stable accommodation. While residing at the Youth House young people are linked into various support services, such as drug and alcohol counselling, mental health, family mediation, recreation, study programs and suitable work where possible.

Inadequate funds

The response was interesting. many didn’t realise that beautiful Byron Bay had such problems. Interesting to note was that 85% of non disadvantaged young people who we approached on the day showed no empathy with youth homelessness, care factor was zero. We still have a lot of work to do in regards to education for peers and demystifying the perception of disadvantaged youth being feral, stoners, dole bludgers etc. Youth homelessness is prevalent in all socioeconomic backgrounds. Overall our information morning was highly successful and we thank the general community who participated. The Federal Government’s The Road Home, aka ‘The White Paper’, is a national approach to reducing homelessness. The new money announced for 2009 to 2013 totals $1.2 billion with the three strategic directions being intervention, improving and expanding services and breaking the cycle. We are now just waiting with bated breath for how this funding will be rolled out and when it will start making a difference. If you wish to assist the Byron Bay Youth House please contact 6685 7264.

In the last financial year the Byron Bay Youth House had over 200 referrals but could only accommodate 54 young people. Dysfunction has no discrimination, with 40% of our intakes that are not from a lower socioeconomic environment. Although we provide fair and equitable access to our service we also have restrictions ■ Angela Ward is the coordidependent on how high and nator of the Byron Bay Youth complex the needs of the young House.

Cycling handbook on RTA’s website Minister for Roads Michael Daley has announced a new handbook designed to keep bicycle riders up to date and encourage more people to take up cycling as a recreational activity and commuting option. Mr Daley said the RTA has produced a comprehensive online guide, A handbook for bicycle riders, covering the A to Z of bike riding. ‘The handbook is a great source of information for anyone interested in cycling, from beginners to experienced riders,’ Mr Daley said. ‘This is a comprehensive resource which covers everything about

bikes, like buying a bike and how to look after it, what to wear when riding, how to repair a puncture and road rules for cyclists. Riding a bike is a great way to get fit, commute and look after the environment which is why more and more people are turning to two wheels.’ Mr Daley said Australians bought 1.2 million bicycles last year, the ninth consecutive year bike sales outstripped car sales. ‘NSW residents bought around 430,000 new bicycles in 2007 and that’s 75,000 more than the number of new ve-

hicles registered in the same period.’ CEO of Bicycle NSW Alex Unwin welcomed the central source of online information. ‘This initiative will be of particular value in helping those wishing to join the increasing numbers of people getting out and riding a bike to work, school or for a social spin with family and friends,’ he said. ‘The handbook is available through the RTA website www.rta.nsw.gov.au and I’d encourage people to think about the environment before printing it out,’ he said. www.echo.net.au

Burn before reading: The Byron Bay Self-Help Book Burning Festival

FUTURE BVL WORKSHOPS AND FIELD DAYS BVL workshops include afternoon tea and are free for BVL members, $5 donation for non-members. Bookings with Judy MacDonald – BVL project officer 6684 5390. Saturday May 30 – Upper Mullumbimby Creek Envirofund Project open afternoon, 1-4 pm. Visit sites which have been involved in a recent BVL Envirofund project. Five adjacent landowners have joined together to restore the rainforest vegetation at the top of this scenic sub catchment. Well known Bush Regenerator Dave Rawlins will be the trainer.

Every burned book enlightens the world. – Ralph Waldo Emerson Hans Lovejoy

Saturday June 6 – Tyagarah to Brunswick flora and fauna walk with Jo Green and Brendan Taylor, 8am-noon.

What started as a harmless joke for a party theme a few months back took on a life of its own – self-help book burning. I have never seen such a division of opinion. ‘That’s a great idea!,’ they said, ‘I’ll bring my Eckhardt Tolle, The Celestine Prophecy and all the other shithouse books that were handed to me...’ Others are visibly disturbed as if it were a close relative condemned, and it is only until the concept is explained that it bears less resistance. It’s worth clarifying here that no swastikas or white sheets were worn, for the point of the exercise was not censorship, fear or ignorance but to burn poorly written language. The concept was to ceremoniously read a passage from a self-help book and then, depending on the response, either allow a reprieve or throw it to the bonfire. For the more creative, torturing books with waterboarding or a paper shredder was encouraged. The best response to my act of wilful vandalism was ‘Why not make an afternoon of paper maché? You could make something useful like a lampshade. I need a lampshade.’

Sunday June 7 – Lowland sub-tropical rainforest with Nan Nicholson, 1- 4pm. Saturday June 27 – Tree planting methods and maintenance issues, 1- 4pm. On-site training at Brunswick River Envirofund project sites at Durrumbul and Coral Ave with Dave Rawlins. Saturday July 4 – Rescheduled Huonbrook walk with Nan Nicholson 1-4pm. All who booked previously will be re-contacted. Saturday August 29 – Heathland walk and talk with Sue Williams,1- 4pm.

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY CELEBRATIONS Byron Shire Council and community groups are organising a range of activities for all ages to celebrate World Environment Day. Activities have been organised across the shire from Friday till Sunday 5 – 7 June. The full programme will be available in mid May. Art 4 Earth is an Environmental Art Competition being held in conjunction with WED celebrations. Entry forms available at BSC Mullumbimby Office and at local art suppliers.

TREE PLANTING - APPROPRIATE SPECIES

Another priceless response (while not hearing the ‘burning’ element), was ‘Ooooh, a book themed party! I’ll come dressed as a book!’ Mulching was also an obvious choice, but burning feels so much more ceremonial. Why would you burn knowledge? ‘Only bad people have burned books,’ was my father’s response. Despite the bad press that torching the written word receives, I think it worth noting that in a society as disposable as ours, what we consider sacred should be constantly reassessed. This is not censorship but rather the importance of literature, knowledge versus ig-

norance, the re-mapping and evolution of society and of course, political correctness. Traditionally, people don’t burn books simply because they disagree with the message, they burn books because the message is a threat. The first known book burning was in China. Religion in the middle ages made it popular again and then there’s the ubiquitous Nazi and Klu Klux Klan public displays of stupidity. Access to quality information was indeed limited in those times. Unlike now. Any boob can self-publish and I have heaps of books. I know where I can get plenty of them – cheaply – and they now compete with

the internet as a source of knowledge. Nevertheless our house party was a great success; many useless books were turned to cinder with merriment and ceremony, and those present discussed the implications of our actions passionately. The only time I had reason to pause was when a young girl of five sat by the fire looking sad. I asked her if she was OK, and she said she likes books and didn’t understand why we were doing this. After I explained that I thought not all books are useful, her mood changed to delight and she ripped apart another well-worn copy of The Power Of Now.

Filmmakers can check out new cameras Australian independent filmmakers are constantly searching for ways to make tiny budgets into big successes, whether they are working in the field of features, documentaries, corporate or advertising. Local professional camera operator Annie Benzie, pictured, knows exactly what this is like. Annie has a string of credits including 2nd Unit Camera Operator on the ABC TV series East of Everything, but is constantly on the seek for accessibility, quality and affordability in a camera. The good news is that breakthroughs in digital capture and post-production techniques have put high definition cameras in the palms of filmmakers’ hands and postproduction on their desktops. But there are many options out there for camera operators, editors and producers, and making the right choice can be bewildering. Annie says, ‘Because I live regionally [in Lennox Head] as opposed to most other filmmakers in metropolitan areas, I get behind the eight ball in knowing about what’s out there www.echo.net.au

and industry knowledge about the cameras. Producers ask me, so what do you think about the latest high def camera that’s just released, and I’m like hang on, I’ll just take a trip up to Brisbane to check it out!’ On May 6 from 3pm to 6pm, Northern Rivers Screenworks and Lemac Films is offering local content creators an introduction to high-definition tapeless production and postproduction with a seminar on the revolutionary Red One and

Panasonic P2 camera systems. Southern Cross University Media Studies is hosting the event at the SCU Byron Room on the second level of the Byron Community and Cultural Centre in Johnson Street, which is open to the public. The event is free to Screenworks members and SCU students and only $5 to the public! Greg Henderson and David Tinley of Lemac Films will be there to show you the cameras that shot features such as

Knowing, Cedar Boys and The Combination (Red One) and television dramas such as City Homicide and Kick (P2). The session will showcase the Panasonic P2 and Red One Digital Cinema Cameras, the advantages of using P2 and Red, the P2 and Red Workflow and the advantages of going tapeless. Get up close and personal with two of the cameras that can deliver much more for much less of your precious funding dollars. Whether you are a producer costing your next production, a shooter considering your next camera hire or purchase, an editor looking at how tapeless capture will fit into your post-production path – a seasoned professional, an emerging screenworker or a media studies student staying ahead of the curve on new technologies – this is a session you won’t want to miss. To book a place contact Screenworks on 66871 599 or email events@screenworks. com.au. This event is kindly supported by Southern Cross University.

Happy 21st! Congratulations on a milestone Ocean Classic... from a small seed to coming of age in 2009. Huge selection of palms & indoor plants Ocean Shores to Ballina and Lismore

ust like any youngster approaching their 21st birthday, the Beach Hotel Byron Bay Ocean Swim Classic presented by the Byron Bay Winter Whales, is gearing up for a huge event to celebrate its coming of age. The event, which will this year be held on Sunday May 3, attracts over 3,000 spectators and last year, 1,602 swimmers to the Bay. The Classic was born on Main Beach Byron 21 years ago to raise money for a good cause. ‘A bunch of blokes used to swim together each day,’ says swim committee secretary Syl Reid. ‘We walked past the surf club all the time and we knew they needed some money so we started the competition.’ In the first classic there were 56 swimmers. Since then competitor numbers have grown beyond the original organisers expectations and the tally of funds raised is fast approaching the quarter million dollar mark. These funds have been used to benefit the local community. ‘In the old days we gave money to the surf club and the hospital,’ said Syl. ‘We used to help buy some of the equipment that they needed. These days we still support the surf club, but we also give donations to the nippers, the local ambos, the Brunswick

Valley Rescue Squad and Camp Quality.’ Last year the Classic introduced the Mini Ocean Swim, a distance of 800 metres for those not able or not yet ready to compete in the main event which proved to be a great success with participants and spectators and the event will be run again this year.

will be, as in previous years, a 2 km open ocean swim from Watego’s Beach to Main Beach, Byron Bay. The event is open to all strong swimmers 12 years of age and over on the day. Swimmers who enter the Classic may enter the Open Elite Superfish Men or Elite Superfish Women categories for cash prizes,

The Byron Bay Ocean Swim Classic is renowned for attracting world class athletes and to date have almost 900 entries for this year’s swim. Swimmers are invited to enter either the Ocean Swim Classic or the Mini Swim and can compete as individuals or as members of a family group consisting of parents and their school age children. The 2009 Ocean Swim Classic

or age categories of 12-15, 16-19, and then 5 year age groups from 20 to 74, including a 75 and over group. The Mini Ocean Swim is a swim of approximately 800 metres to 1 km depending on conditions. The course will start on the beach at a point west of ‘The Pass’ and will finish in front of the Surf Club. Aimed at introducing competent swimmers of all ages to the joys of ocean swimming, this event is for people who want to try open water swimming for the first time or feel that the Classic swim is a bit too formidable. It is designed for children 9 years of age and over and novices, who are good swimmers, such as surf club nippers and swimming club www.echo.net.au

members. Medals will be awarded for first boy and first girl aged 9, 10, 11 or 12 on the day. The Classic will start from Watego’s at 10am and the Mini will start at 8.45am and the ever popular ‘Dash for Cash’ which is open to all swimmers who complete the Main Event. Organisers would like to remind swimmers to allow plenty of time to register for the swims at Byron Bay Surf Club then to travel by free shuttle bus to the start and as some swimmers like to wear clothes over their cossies to Watego’s while they wait for the swim to start, this year the Salvation Army will collect all discarded clothing. Just make sure you’re wearing items that you’re happy to

donate to the Sallies, and leave them on the beach when you move out to start your swim. Your donation will be received gratefully. The leadup to this exciting 21st bash is showing great promise of being a wonderful festive community occasion as our little baby becomes all grown up and an event, like the Classic itself, which will be a party to be remembered.

FEHVA PORTRAIT PRIZE James Guppy knows a thing or two about portraiture. Not only has he twice been hung in the Archibald prize exhibition, but portraiture seems the compelling starting point of several of his solo exhibitions. These include the fabulous middle aged fairies of Fay (2008), Beauty and Blemish (1996-1997) and Portraits from Pornography (2004). In the hall of St Kevin’s Catholic Church in Bangalow, around twenty local artists hang on Guppy’s every word. He is, he tells them, fascinated by portraiture, but he doesn’t think it’s appropriate for him to talk about that now. Why not? Because, this afternoon, he is the model. The artists before him are all entrants in the 2009 FEHVA Portrait Prize. Guppy will, though, talk about portraits that he likes. He’ll talk about being reduced to tears by the Pierre Bonnard self portrait at the Art Gallery of NSW. He’ll talk about a Picasso self portrait painted only months before the artist’s death; and the self portraits by Rembrandt . And he’ll talk about his own nude self portrait, ‘Chagrin’, which was a ďŹ nalist in the 2005 Archibald prize. It seems that Guppy’s fascination is for portraiture that reveals the dark as well as the light, that exposes vulnerability, that is disquieting. A portrait that has no interest in attery. While Guppy is the sitter for the afternoon’s session, best selling author, Di Morrissey, has sat for the morning session. Most of the around forty entrants choose just one subject: Guppy or Morrissey. But some decide to try both. Before the sessions begin, the big, airy church hall is abuzz with artists. They set up their easels or their tables. They work on canvas, or art block, or butcher’s paper over ply. They lay out charcoal, watercolours, oils, pastels. They make sure their cameras are ready and working. They will have almost a month, until 17 May, to complete their portrait. Then, on 25 May, the works will be judged: James Guppy’s portrait by Susi Muddiman, Director of the Tweed River Art Gallery and Di Morrissey’s portrait by herself and Guppy.

And later that evening, at the FEHVA opening night celebration, the winners of the two $1000 ďŹ rst prizes will be announced.

OF SAPA David Holliday almost didn’t go to Sapa, the town that crouches beneath the Hoang Lien Son Range, in north west Vietnam. Indeed, Holliday almost didn’t go to Vietnam. It was a last minute decision to break his ight home from London.

While most of the artists will go back to their studios to work alone, three will have an opportunity to talk and ask advice. Local artist Angus McDonald whose work, ‘Beyond’, was a ďŹ nalist in this year’s Archibald prize, will mentor three young artists: year 11 student at St John’s College, Woodlawn in Lismore, Charlotte Kippax; Lismore TAFE student in his diploma year, Liam Van Dugteren; and former Byron Bay High student who has taken up her scholarship to the Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney, Nell Pearson.

A fortuitous decision, it instigated the photographic exhibition on the walls of Rice restaurant in Brunswick Hea Heads. Holliday took his photographs, now stretched on canvas, with a Nikon 60. Mostly p portraits, they’re both ssensitive and dynamic.

McDonald who has had a long association with FEHVA, well knows the value of mentoring. He himself looks back to two mentors of his own student days: one of his teachers at the Julian Ashton Art School and twice winner of the Archibald, Nigel Thomson, and, while he was an art student in Italy, Australian artist Jeffrey Smart. “When you’re pursuing a creative endeavour�, says McDonald, “it’s very hard to make a living and part of the job of a mentor is help you to decide for yourself: is this what I really want? Because it could be a long road. So it’s very good to be involved with these young artists.�

B Because internet cafes ha have arrived in Sapa, Ho Holliday can maintain co contact with many of the people he photographed, particularly the younger ones. And he’s sending half of the sales money from this exhibition back to Sapa, where almost everyone scrabbles for the most meagre living.

And the young artists, all three, are excited to be working with McDonald. Their portraits, and those of all entrants, will be on public display from May 23, at the A & I Hall in Bangalow. Around 20 Di Morrisseys and another twenty or so James Guppys will peer from the wall. They’ll all be different. And two of them will be winners.

Sapa is home to minority tribes. You see the hill people walking single ďŹ le along the side of the road. Some carry tools, others have wicker baskets on their backs loaded with ďŹ rewood or merchandise; yet others have a young child or baby in a sling. It’s almost impossible for a visitor to differentiate these people – Black H’mong, sturdy and tough, in their

black or indigo clothes, knee high legging; Red Dao, in their bright red headscarves, and cascades of silver jewellery; then there are the Red H’mong, Flowered H’mong, the Giay – the list is seemingly endless.

Stadler’s exhibition: ‘Cutaways’..

Sapa lives in Holliday’s photographs. The sturdy buffalo boy; solemn girls with their baskets of sticks; a proud older woman in extravagant traditional finery; a father and son caught against a background of mist. The photos move across generations and across moods. Among the few photographs that aren’t portraits, there’s a pair of hands, blue stained, like some exotic skin complaint. These are the hands of one of the village dyers of indigo hemp. Behind every photograph there is a story. Exhibition at Rice Indonesian Restaurant, Brunswick Heads for about two months.

SELL OUT Anyone wanting to go to future Byron Music Society concerts would be well advised to book early. At the recent classical concert with Natasha Vlassenko and Oleg Stepanov, audiences had to be turned away. Very sad for those who missed out: but a very happy comment on the popularity of classical music in the Northern Rivers.

COMMUNITY PRINT MAKERS

han Rather than disposing of old prints, she has cut them up and reassembled them. Some of her works, like spore clean – relief print nat on cardboard – are abstracted from tropical nature. Others, are abstractions of ideas and feelings. There is, for example, ‘Virgo’ – collograph, cardboard, emu feather – and there’s ‘Tears’, – collograph print, cardboard and fibre. They will all remain on the gallery walls until Sunday 17 May.

GALLERY/ EVENT

Community Printmakers Murwillumbah (CPM Inc) Workshop Gallery 33-35 Kyogle Road Bray Park via Murwillumbah: 11 am - 3 pm Friday to Sunday .

WAYWOOD GALLERY FLOOR TALK The more floor talks held in local art spaces, the better. They offer a forum for exploring ideas, philosophy and practice. As well, they introduce artists and their particular work to a wider audience. At Waywood Gallery, Huonbrook artist Noel Hart, in conversation with sculpture exhibition curator, Dev Lengje, offered his audience a treat. Hart tracks the beginning of his prolific, diverse and now acclaimed 27 year career to two gifts his uncle gave him when he was nine: the contemporary art magazine, Studio International, and a gun. In the magazine, Hart discovered European conceptual artists. With the gun, he shot birds.

When is a butterfly not a butterfly? When it is a Clutterfly. This is the title of the first piece – relief print, cardboard and fibre – in Anne Stadler’s solo exhibition at Community Print Makers, Murwillumbah.

WHITE WIDOW

Humans’ consumption of cannabis pre-dates history. In the 20th century there was a considerable increase in its use for recreational, religious or spiritual, and medicinal purposes. It is estimated that about four percent of the world’s adult population (162 million) use cannabis annually and 0.6 percent (22.5 million) daily.

‘The day I quit school I didn’t want anything else to fall back on – I knew I wanted to play music for a living.’ These are brave and courageous words from the young and married father of two M Jack Bee. Otherwise known as Mikey Bryant, M Jack Bee uprooted his young family from the debaucherous Melbourne rock ‘n’ roll scene a few years ago to the somewhat quieter Main Arm hills. There he found himself confronted with a wife, two kids, six chickens and a shed. What else was there to do but step inside, pick up his tools and record an album? His debut release, I Don’t Want to Fight You tells the sweet and sour tales of family life, love and whose turn it is to do the dishes. 4JODF IJT NPWF . +BDL #FF IBT WFOUVSFE PVU PG UIF IJMMT GPS B GFX CSJFG MPDBM HJHT BT XFMM BT UPVSJOH .FMCPVSOF BOE 4ZEOFZ JODMVEJOH B TIPX BU UIF 0QFSB )PVTF QMBZJOH XJUI 0ME .BO 3JWFS BOE TIPXT JO 5FM "WJW MBTU ZFBS He was a finalist in the ABC North Coast Artsnest Initiative 2008 and a featured performer at Mullum Folk Night and Sphinx Rock CafĂŠ.

ALL CODES – LIVE COVERAGE (Formerly Chincogan Tavern)

In the very near future I will be getting a letter from the RTA suspending my licence for six months. I am a social criminal. You see, in a period of three years I exceeded the speed limit five times. OK. You got me. I’ll come clean. That person you’ve heard hooning up and down your street late at night blasting hip hop was in fact me. Although I am pleased to inform the more sensitive types that all the donuts performed are in fact gluten free. It is time for my public shaming. I have done 65 in a 60 zone. St Helena, mother of Constantine the Great and patron of inappropriately placed speed cameras, has not smiled happily on me. How can a woman whose original charter was charity for the poor and destitute be reduced to the tawdry art of revenue raising? I still maintain that I don’t speed. I merely lose concentration while passing speed detection devices. Six months back the RTA offered me a Good Behaviour Bond. No cussing, no new offences and no vagina jokes for 12 months. I should have known I couldn’t do it. Even before I’d left the RTA I’d muttered three new twat jokes under my breath. (‘Fever’ was playing – I couldn’t resist singing… You give me Beaver… I am a middle aged woman with the mind of

an adolescent.) So there I was, three kids in the car, five months pregnant, leaving Armidale at 7am in the morning after a performance at a Women’s Comedy Festival and I see the flashing lights. I immediately thought, god damn they got me on the Beaver gag. The cop pulls me over and informs me I’m doing 120 in 100 zone. All I can say is ‘Correct’. Why am I exceeding the speed limit? Hello, have you been to Armidale? Then I did something I’m not proud of. Something shameful. I started to cry. Not just cry, but blubber, talking in long drawn out salty gasps as water literally leaked out of my head. ‘Pleasse...if if if you book me… I’ll lose my licence… and I live in a small town… with three kids… and I’m pregnant… and and there’s not even a supermarketttt.’ The bastard booked me on the spot. My kids thought it was hysterical and spent the rest of the trip imitating me crying and begging with the cop. I was thinking of going to court and telling them that it wasn’t even me driving. It was Marcus Einfield in drag. So now I have a glorious six months licence-free to look forward to. Thank goodness our public transport is so excellent. You’ll be seeing a lot more of me on the bus (big hello to the young Mullum

High girl who patted me at the bus stop the other day). I am also contemplating taking up hitching outside Carsbergs. I have been rehearsing the stance and even have some outfits that I believe are road ready. I’ve learnt that you can’t hitch in Mullum without a silly hat, a didge, a dog and a rainbow knit cardigan. It’s kind of refreshing to see a mother of four on the roadside with her brood. Although I can only be picked up by other mums in empty Taragos. I might even get a bike. But then I’ve never been comfortable knowing people can see my arse hanging over the seat looking like a giant unseeded half peach. I’d ride a bike if it looked more like a chair. And had a motor and ran on petrol. Frankly it’s embarrassing. I’ve come up with a whole new pitch. Something that helps me regain a superior social footing and pivots me from stupid to smug. I’ve got it. I’m an environmentalist. I am experimenting with six months of carfree living. I’m chocking up carbon credits for creating a brand new consumer. Man, I am walking the walk. Quite literally. By the way, if anyone would like to be available as my driver then please let me know. Must have licence and enjoy vagina jokes.

Classics appeared in 2006, followed by a self-released remix album.

Rachel Getting Married

difficult (in my case, anyway) to feel much sympathy for Kym – and her titanic selfpity does not help. Contrary to grim orthodoxy, Demme does not opt for wrist-slashing imagery of greys, blues and hard surfaces, instead infusing the visuals with lush colour and surrounding Kym with warmth, music and (Indian) food. Along with the saris of the bridal party and an allusion to a molesting uncle, through the first ten minutes the comparison with Monsoon without keeling over from vertigo. Kym (Anne Hathaway) Wedding (2001) is unavoidable. Hathaway deservedly earned is an addict who has taken an Oscar nomination for an the twelve steps to sobriety. Does she have a disease? Or is edgy performance that has you cringeing at what Kym she just pathetically weak? To might say or do next but, his credit, Demme makes no good as it is, it is elevated by a judgement and encourages none. Kym returns to the family superb support cast, especially Rosemarie DeWitt as Rachel. hearth in rural Connecticut Demme runs out of story to attend the wedding of her towards the end and is too sister Rachel. With her she has satisfied with the revelry of brought the undiluted pain of the reception – ironically, the a past tragedy for which she was responsible. Jerry Springer only time that the hand-held camera feels appropriate – but and his ilk have commodified guilt and turned it into a navel by then we’ve been through the wringer with Kym and her gazing indulgence, making it family and are ready to party. Dry-eyed but sensitive and satisfying. ~ John Campbell

Director Jonathan Demme has pulled off a minor miracle in this engrossing, bleakly festive film. Seventy years ago, Christopher Isherwood coined a phrase of extraordinary prescience when he wrote ‘I am a camera’. It captured perfectly the mindset of cinema goers for generations to come; we sit in the dark and, through the eye of the lens, are seduced into other worlds, other lives. The hand-held camera douses that alchemy. Presumably the technique is employed to create a right here, right now immediacy. It does that in spades, but ordinarily if what you observe around you is not constantly wobbling it can be a powerful irritation, making you aware of a go-between in the room and curtailing flights of fancy.

Many of the recipes consist The fact is, this frugal old dish – the term of three ingredients only: cooked mincemeat was first employed in 1791 when potato (bereft of enrichments like onions and garlic was introduced in England as an edible crop and herbs and celery), mashed potatoes and affordable to the poor – originally referred two cans of corn, sometimes creamed.

BEEF HEAVEN Warning: the following may offend vegetarian sensibilities! Lovers of beef have two opportunities to indulge their passion – one on the Gold Coast and one in Sydney. Multiple award-winning restaurant Moo Moo The Wine Bar+Grill has undergone an exciting makeover to its beef-predominating menu with the arrival late last year of executive chef Philip Edwards. This is the only licensed restaurant in the country serving Master Kobe Beef, their signature dish remaining their spice-rubbed 1 kg. Wagyu rump roast. Owner Steven Adams has spent a lot of time working with beef suppliers all over the country to ensure that Moo Moo’s reputation as Queensland’s best steak restaurant remains intact. For anyone new to the tender, marbled delights of Wagyu (‘luxury’) beef, the restaurant overlooks a park in the heart of Broadbeach and is on the Gold Coast Highway opposite Jupiters Casino. For bookings phone 07 5539 9952. Then on Thursday June 11 in Bridge Street, Sydney, the annual ‘City Meets The Country’ dinner will be held at Steersons Steakhouse. Showcasing Certified Australian Angus Beef and matched with legendary Tyrrells wines, the dinner will comprise five courses utilising different preparation techniques and ‘mystery’ cuts. It is regarded as an ‘annual discovery of beef’ and guests will include members of Certified Australian Angus Beef Pty Ltd, the Angus Society and Meat and Livestock Australia. Cost is $140 a head and bookings can be made on 9295 5044.

CANCER: Late week Cancer moon’s overflowing emotions are likely to need focussing away from the past and what you don’t want towards where you’d rather be heading. Do this by using what uberCancerian His Holiness the Dalai Lama calls enlightened self interest.

LIBRA: With your ruling planet in the dragon’s head of destiny configuration, the cosmic joker’s wild and this week could rock your world – in a positive way. There could be struggles with family not seeing eye to eye, but you’ll suggest the best and fairest solution – won’t you?

TAURUS: Your boss goddess Venus in empire building mode serves you well this week, while Taurus Sun/Mercury attracts friends with ideas which include or enthuse you. A week of of inspiration, celebration, and with Mars in Aries you can also expect lots of testosterone…

LEO: Stubborn stand offs are part of the current star scenario and while you don’t back down easily, right now it could be the less costly option. That said, this Venus-ruled week accentuating your business sector couldn’t be better for shaking your money maker while schmoozing the room…

SCORPIO: This week has excellent potential for discussing progressive ideas, planning positive changes or revitalizing a tired love life while the planets of hot romance are at their most frisky – because right now life on earth’s ripe for a wonderful autumnal wallow in the empire of the senses.

GEMINI: If early week Gemini moon stimulates ambivalent feelings about funds or friendship, stay cool and don’t let emotions rule. This can be a stingy transit so be generous with your words, wallet, time and ideas and karma will boomerang back to you in kind pretty well instantly.

VIRGO: This week encourages you to get out and express yourself. Plus it’s a primo self healing period for listening to what your body, and more importantly, feelings have to tell you. Beware of selective listening though – otherwise known as hearing only what supports your opinions.

SAGITTARIUS: Take advantage of this week’s influences on your house of health to break a bad habit or enhance your fitness regime. It’s also a prime time for developing specific business skills and practical tools to enhance your personal life and add value to your professional portfolio.

For the first time an Australian has won the Sydney International Open, which concluded in Parramatta last week. Veteran Grandmaster Darryl Johansen was undefeated in capturing the 2009 SIO title, possibly the strongest open tournament the Melbourne chess coach has won since the 1990s.

CAPRICORN: With Mars stirring up your ambition hormones, this week’s power plays are going to require control and discipline to avoid collateral damage. Same goes for your personal life – and there’s plenty happening right now in the home and family zone that needs your attention. AQUARIUS: This week organization’s even more important than inspiration so think taking care of business, research, making backup plans, revising your values in the light of current information. Tried and tested methods may need adjusting, even abandoning completely, to meet changing financial realities. PISCES: Sure everything’s very materialistic at the moment, but look at the upside and let it guide you towards sensible decisions. Because Mars in your finance zone for the coming month offers practical answers, plus the assurance to speak up and speak out for what you want.

ARIES: Mars and Venus together in Aries have you full of enthusiasm and fresh ideas, but old fight or flight patterns could resurface where you either keep at bay or run away from what you really want. Now it’s time to finally stand your ground and work through it.

United they fall at Red Devil Park

Crankin’ what’s happening surfside

John Campbell

All Girl Surfriders

The old bloke next to me was spot on; ‘this’ll be a cricket score’. It was an Indian summer Sunday. Northern United were running incisive angles, sidestepping like beauties and throwing the ball around in a manner that suggested they were only interested in playing when in possession. The Red Devils were taking it up the guts and creating considerable momentum while going helter–skelter at protecting their line. Neither side was likely to last the distance in the conditions. Neither side did. That the Bay took a 16–10 lead to the break was more an indicator of both participants’ imperfect execution than it was of their steely resolve and the final score of 46–34 reflected perfectly the eighty minutes that produced it. (It must be noted that the club’s slack attendance to the scoreboard is a slight to the paying customer.) Eli Colby, the Bay’s hooker and captain, led the reigning premiers on to the field in their new strip (gone is the black) under a baking sun and it didn’t take long for former Devil Clarence Kelly to nearly put his winger over and give the Dirawongs the lead (I don’t know what they are either). United were mercurial, Byron methodical. A lovely rehearsed move from a Devils scrum win led to five–eighth Ryan O’Connell

SLSC Volunteer surf lifesavers from across the state took down the red and yellow flags for the last time when the NSW patrol season officially ended last Sunday. The 08/09 season was characterised by large crowds on the beaches, along with some dramatic events including high profile rescues, tragic drownings and an increase in shark attacks and sightings. More than 17,000 volunteer surf lifesavers from 129 surf clubs patrolled more than 200 NSW beaches, from Fingal Heads at the mouth of the Tweed River, to Pambula Beach in the state’s far south.

The Byron Shire Echo April 28, 2009 55

Backlash Byron Shire councillors are due next month to receive a report on section 68 certification of the Mullum Woolworths – that is, will the development meet Council’s effluent disposal standards? We think not. Given that Council’s planners will talk to the Department of Planning in the meantime, we hope there will be no wavering on this important issue. Already a memo of April 20 to councillors from planners suggests the Water Industry Competition Act 2006 (WICA) ‘may allow for such private sewerage management facility, and if so, this could override a Council Policy’.

The Pothole Competition has attracted a few punters. Hazel offers: ‘Have you driven along Tyagarah Road, there must be 100, but my favourite is the double whammy on Manse Road, just before the entrance to the tip.’ And Suvira says, ‘I would like to offer Mafeking Road, Goonengerry, as the well-kept secret realm of potholes. Come for a drive sometime!’ Photos also welcome if you have a good one.

Australia Post is encouraging residents to help their local postie by restraining dogs, removing spiders from the letterbox and keeping an eye out while backing out from the driveway. Across NSW and the ACT last year there were 340 incidents involving posties being attacked by a dog, struck by a vehicle or injured due to an unsafe letterbox. Sixteen of these incidents occurred across the North Coast Delivery Network, which stretches from Forster and Port Macquarie to Coffs Harbour, Ballina and Tweed Heads. In 2008, nearly 170 posties in NSW and the ACT were attacked by dogs while they were delivering the mail, with nine of those attacks occurring on the North Coast.
