LHPA chief slams councillor

Belongil caught in legal storm

Michael McDonald

Brian McInnes, general manager of the North Coast Livestock Health and Pest Authority, has slammed Byron Shire councillor Patrick Morrisey for his comments in The Echo on the authority’s rates system. In a letter of April 27 to Council GM Graeme Faulkner, Mr Inness called for an apology for the ‘derogatory remarks’ and for the publication of a retraction in The Echo. ‘Whilst I don’t have any concern with people expressing their “personal” opinion, I believe that people that hold community positions should not use their position to progress their own personal agenda,’ Mr McInnes wrote. ‘It is is irresponsible of a Byron Shire Councillor to be advising other ratepayers of another organisation not to pay rates, when your Council itself relies on rates for viability.’ Meanwhile Councillors voted unanimously on May 14 to advise minister for primary industries Ian Macdonald and the state council of the LHPA that they objected to the continued on page 2

Byron Shire Council’s successful attempt – so far – to stop interim protection works at Belongil Spit has drawn outrage from affected residents, who fear their properties may be deluged by high seas. Councillors have been lobbied to change their approach to

emergency works at Belongil. Council was successful in Sydney last week in getting a court injunction to stop resident John Vaughan having rocks dumped in front of his property directly off Manfred Street. Hearings continue, with Council giving an undertaking to pay Mr Vaughan damages if he can prove he was entitled to

undertake the works under a development application approved in 2001. A longtime critic of Council’s planned retreat policy, Mr Vaughan told Councillors in an email last Monday: ‘All we wanted to do was in the DA as approved in 2001. All we pleaded from Council was to stop the damage happening in the DA-approved

manner or let others do the work. It could have easily been done at low tide during the weekend of the storm.’ ‘Seven homes immediately adjacent to Manfred Street (all pre 1988 non transportable/fixed approvals) are in immediate danger from a breakthrough at Manfred Street.

Minister for Education and Training, Verity Firth, made a flying visit last Thursday to Brunswick Heads for the public school’s Education Week Open Day. The minister wanted to visit staff and students of schools in the area in the aftermath of the recent storms to thank communities who worked so hard to reopen their doors so quickly after the destruction. As part of Education Week, Ms Firth had a planned visit to the north coast which was expanded to encompass some of the storm-damaged schools in the area. ‘After two days of torrential rain, about 200 government schools between Hastings and Tweed Heads were unable to open, mostly due to access difficulties,’ said Ms Firth. ‘All but 20 schools were open to students soon after – a great testimony to the resilience of school communities and school staff.’ Brunswick Heads Public School, which was by necessity closed for four days, had five large trees fall during the Thursday night storm, one collapsing on a classroom roof and causing serious damage. The residue of the trees chipped created large piles of mulch which took four trucks to remove.

Minister for Education and Training Verity Firth and Brunswick Heads Public School students atop a pile of woodchips, one of five such heaps that were the residue of trees broken and uprooted at the school during the recent storms.

After an informal morning tea with teachers and parents, Ms Firth, along with Peter Haigh, regional director of the north coast region for the Department of Education and Training, and Greg Cloak, the Southern Cross area director, were taken on a tour of the school by principal Mick Channells to inspect the cleanup and discuss future plans for

the school. Mr Channells showed the group where trees had fallen in the school grounds and also the site where the school intends use P21 funds to erect a new school hall. The P21 allocation is part of the Building Better Schools Program which will see billions of state and federal government dollars injected into school facilities

nationwide. ‘I’m really impressed by the school and the community coming together to help with the cleanup,’ said Ms Firth. ‘They managed to get everything done very quickly after the storm. I am also excited to see how the P21 money will work in this school and we will work in partnership with the school to see that it happens.’

Health service works through swine flu cases North Coast Area Health Service (NCAHS) Director of Public Health, Paul Corben, has advised that after follow up of the north coast residents who travelled on the Pacific Dawn cruise ship seven cases of the Human Swine Influenza have now been confirmed. Seventeen local passengers have returned negative results. ‘All confirmed cases are recovering from their illness and remain in home isolation. Close contacts of these confirmed cases also remain in home quarantine,’ Mr Corben said.

‘Presently there are 38 people awaiting test results, these include people who have travelled overseas as well as passengers from the Pacific Dawn. Any travellers experiencing flu-like symptoms within seven days of return to Australia should contact their GP or the Public Health Unit in Lismore 6620 7500 to obtain further advice and assistance. ‘As we head into winter I encourage people to protect themselves from the usual seasonal influenza by getting vaccinated, covering their mouths

and noses when coughing and The Flu Hotline is 180 2007 sneezing, and washing hands or visit www.health.nsw.gov.au/ regularly,’ Mr Corben said. publichealth/swine_flu.asp.

Protesters say ‘poo’ to Woolies’ S98 Story & photo Eve Jeffery

A group of protesters gathered at the site of the proposed Woolworths supermarket in Station Street, Mullumbimby, last week, in the hope of adding weight to the argument against the company’s S68 sewage application when Byron Shire Council convenes to vote on the issue sometime in the next few weeks. The group, which carried placards and sat upon several porcelain toilets in the mud and slush on the Woolworths site, feels that the pump-out requirements contravene Council’s no pump-out policy and that the lack of buffer distance of disposal and treatment areas contravenes the council’s policy and those of NSW Health Departments Guidelines. ‘The site is totally unsuitable for effluent disposal of any quality,’ said spokesperson

chorus of ‘No poo, no poo’ and ‘Poo? Boo!’ for the assembled media as they believe that allowing this development to go ahead would be the biggest no-no in our Shire, setting a

precedent for anyone to put anything anywhere, citing the excuse that ‘they’ll just pump out the effluent, like Woolworths do’. ■ Letter, page 11

Councils under increasing revenue pressure Michael McDonald

While not entirely rejecting consultancy Fiscal Star’s opinion that Byron Shire Council’s financial position is ‘unsustainable’, Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner said the company’s annual snapshot of councils is ‘a marketing tool designed to encourage Council’s to engage the company for future financial and asset management advice’. The South Australian company posts its snapshots at www. fiscalstar.com.au. Mr Faulkner said the company’s value of the infrastructure backlog ‘is taken from unaudited figures and will vary from council to council based on the asset information they have and their interpretation of the reporting requirements’. ‘The “unsustainability” of many councils is not a shock,’ said Mr Faulkner. ‘It is widely believed throughout local government that without additional revenue councils will be unable to maintain the sub-

stantial infrastructure under their control. ‘Byron Shire is a relatively small shire with a ratepayer base of just over 14,000 properties generating revenue of $15.5 million, growing infrastructure needs, approximately 1.1 million visitors every year and provides over 100 differing services to the community. ‘While state grants and funding handouts for specific infrastructure projects are always welcomed, it is the ongoing maintenance cost of asset management that needs to be addressed. The servicing of new assets can potentially delay the upgrading of existing infrastructure. ‘In aiming to address this issue, Council is currently preparing a 25 year plan and budget which includes long term asset management plans. This plan will provide Council and the community with a long term picture of what funding is required and where it will come from, in order to meet Council objectives.

‘The way in which the increased revenue demands will be met forms part of the strategy.’ The Local Government and Shires Associations said the Fiscal Star report ‘confirms what local government in NSW already knows – that inadequate financing has forced many NSW councils into an infrastructure renewal backlog’. President of the Local Government Association Cr Genia McCaffery said that long term under-resourcing

for NSW councils has resulted in the infrastructure renewal backlog outlined in the report. ‘Through a combination of inadequate tax transfers from state and federal coffers, and rate pegging, local government has been made to operate on a minimal budget for years,’ she said. ‘Now we are facing a cap on developer levies, which have been one of local government’s only avenues for attempting to keep pace with the needs of our growing communities.’

stay for around three hours, the second crossing solution, said Mr Page, was a relatively simple one. Mr Page said he had written to NSW transport minister David Campbell pointing out the findings of the

Opus study and requesting that the state government allow this second crossing, concluding that if Labor does not approve it, ‘we certainly will when there is a change of government in under two years time’.

Belongil beachfront caught up in legal storm From front page

Another event at the king tides from 21 June would see a swell rolling down Manfred Street through the houses and into the mangroves.’ Another Belongil resident, John Callanan, pointed out to Councillors that residents were prepared to fund works: ‘Byron Shire Council is saying no to the opportunity to have private residents pay to protect the sand dune which provides the only protection from inundation of the town centre from the sea.’ An affidavit to the court from coastal geoscientist and marine climatologist Dr Ian Goodwin stated that without protection works ‘there is a high probability that foredune recession will continue during and immediately following major storm events, such that a new Belongil Creek entrance/

www.echo.net.au

inlet will develop along the present Manfred Street alignment. If this occurs the majority of Belongil spit northwest of Manfred Street will be isolated as a barrier island. ‘This would also result in future wave energy propagating into Belongil Creek and causing additional coastal hazards on the coastal floodplain south of the existing Belongil Creek alignment where considerable infrastructure has been built.’ Dr Goodwin also stated that existing interim protection works closer to town were having an ‘end wall effect’ on properties such as Mr Vaughan’s, resulting in seas scouring out the dunes in front of them. Works that connected the existing walls into a contiguous structure ‘would minimise if not eliminate end wall effects in this location. ‘It is my professional opin-

ion that some interim coastal protection works are immediately required to minimise the risk associated with storm wave attack and dune undercutting by elevated ocean water levels. If the rebuilding of the interim coastal protection works was carried out in the next few days, then the risk of additional land loss and land improvements, including dwellings, will be minimised.’ Last Friday the Vaughans took proceedings against Council to seek orders that Council start interim protection works under the 2001 consent within 14 days or allow the Vaughans to carry out the work. The 2001 consent involves the use of geobag works at beach access points including Manfred Street. Once both Council’s and the Vaughans’ evidence and claims have been lodged with

the court a date for a further hearing will be set on Monday June 8. ■ Comment, page 10, Letters,

Shadow minister for transport Gladys Berejiklian was in Byron Bay last week to make a joint announcement with Ballina MP Don Page regarding a second rail crossing as a solution to traffic congestion. The solution, which would see Butler Street linked to Marvell Street via the old emergency rail crossing and a new roundabout at Jonson and Marvell Streets, was recommended by consultants Opus in their MR545 study, and is, in Mr Page’s words, ‘sensible, inexpensive and easily able to be implemented.’ He went on to say that the continuing refusal of the State Labor government to allow a second crossing was condemning Byron Bay residents to totally unacceptable traffic congestion, both now and in the future. A coalition government wil allow the second crossing which, the study has shown, would lessen the burden of traffic having to go through the Jonson and Law-

Ewingsdale site rejected North Byron Shire Parklands general manager Mat Morris said recently that Council’s new sports centre at Ewingsdale is unsuitable for the Splendour festival. ‘Splendour organisers investigated this site prior to Council’s purchase, as a part of a long and strategic search for a sustainable events venue,’ he said. ‘The site was unsuitable for our purposes for two major reasons – firstly the site is not large enough to accommodate our event, its camping and carparking. As a comparison, the Belongil Fields site has 47 usable acres and it cannot accom-

modate car parking. The sports site, we understand, is some 30 usable acres which will be taken up with sports fields and the indoor centre. It is clearly too small for our purposes. ‘Secondly and very importantly, we did not want to repeat the current situation at Belongil Fields where the event access is located on the main road into town. We preferred an option which avoided such traffic complications. ‘We would also be concerned about the displacement of sporting events.

event works would significantly disrupt the use of the site for sporting activities for at least two weeks for a major event.’ Northern Rivers Tourism has come out in support of North Byron Shire Parklands, with CEO Russell Mills giving the regional tourism body’s full support for a trial event at the site. ‘As a tourism industry professional and concerned resident, I voice my unequivocal support for cultural tourism of the kind generated by events like Splendour in the Grass,’ Mr Mills said. ‘Not only does this event generate undeniable economic benefits in a traditional low season but the organisers and site owners demonstrate a commitment to corporate social responsibility that should serve as a benchmark for all event organisers.’

Sewer on a Bog? Woolworths have lodged with Byron Shire Council (BSC) a “Section 68” Onsite Sewage Application for their proposed Mullumbimby ‘Big Box’. Our Councillors will soon be asked to either reject or accept this Application. After numerous amendments, somehow the NSW Department of Planning accepted Woolworths’ changes to the DA they purchased from Mallams. A condition to that Approval is for Woolworths to get a S.68 (onsite sewage) approval from BSC prior to construction. Any onsite sewage disposal system for a 2500sqm supermarket on such a poorly suited site as Station Street would require much of the effluent to be trucked off the site for a large part of the year. To accept an Application so heavily dependent on tanks and tankers would contravene BSC’s Policy that prohibits the use of holding tanks or “pump-out” within the sewered urban areas. Woolworths cannot provide the buffer distances of 3 to 6 metres required between effluent disposal areas and pathways, parking areas, buildings and boundaries. They haven’t got a decent 40m setback to the table drains nor adequate height above the shallow watertable.

To accept Woolworths’ Application would: s see them jump the sewage moratorium in Mullumbimby. The moratorium on new sewage connections entitlements has been imposed on developers large and small while we wait for BSC to build a town sewerage system that can adequately protect our public health and our environment. s be disrespectful to all those with development aspiration across the Shire who have patiently waited for so many long years. s set a precedent for on-site sewerage that is way below the standards required of other Shire residents.

To approve an onsite sewage system on an urban flood-prone, soggy, low lying, site so close to the Brunswick River would set an outstanding precedent of disregard for Council Policies and for NSW Health Department Guidelines.

Rally in Byron Bay to protest against forest clearing The Australian Orangutan Project supporters will conduct a peaceful rally in Woolworths Plaza, Byron Bay to protest a proposal for the clearing and destruction of High Conservation Value rainforest that has recently been put forward by Asia Pulp & Paper/Sinar Mas Group for the buffer zone of Bukit Tigapuluh (Thirty Hills) National Park, Central Sumatra, Indonesia.

Input sought for Wilsons Creek project Community members have teamed up to develop a local Reconnecting to Country project around Wilsons Creek. They formed a working group following a community workshop held last November, where participants identified the natural and cultural values of the upper reaches of the Coopers Creek and Wilsons Creek sub catchments of Wilsons River. A range of project ideas have been canvassed by the working group and a preferred proposal has been developed to bring back to the broader community for feedback and support. This proposal is to develop public access to a site on Wilsons Creek to enable the public, particularly kids to ‘connect to country’ via recreational, cultural and environmental interpretation opportunities. The working group anticipates that a section of creek can be cleared of weeds over the next two years and that the project will encourage stabilisation of the creek banks and regeneration of riparian vegetation. They also hope that some local Aboriginal culture will be shared with the community and this may be in the form of leaflets, signage or talks and walks.

Young talent wins out Earth’n’Sea raises $3,000 for Street Cruise program Victoria Cosford

Earth’n’Sea in its smart new Byron Bay premises hosted a highly entertaining evening recently, raising in the process around $3,000 for the Byron Youth Service Street Cruise program. Sandi Ghandi as MC kept spirits high as did the free-flowing pizzas, salads and beverages. Local suppliers donated much of the food and drink, staff volunteered their time,

and over 110 locals turned out to support the event. Even the brand new dishwasher breaking down halfway through the evening could not spoil the fun; 15-year old Juel MinterNaughton calmly took matters into his own hands and proceeded to wash everything nobly by hand. His efforts were not unrewarded – later on he went on to win a handsome voucher to St Elmo’s. Local DJs ensured most people ended up dancing well into the night.

Council’s tourism plan back on exhibition Byron Shire Council’s Draft Tourism Management Plan (TMP) is back on public exhibition until July 27. According to community economic development officer Jos Mitchell, the plan has gone back out on exhibition due to the recently resolved changes adopted by Council in April. ‘Submissions from the last public exhibition were considered and Council resolved to make changes which are included in the current document,’ Ms Mitchell said. ‘The need for a TMP and an accompanying Action Plan was identified as part of Coun-

cil’s commitment to ensure the sustainable development, management and marketing of tourism for Byron Shire over the next ten years.’ In 2007 Council engaged The Australian Regional Tourism Research Centre to research and facilitate the project. The plan will be on exhibition for 60 days and submissions must be received in writing by 4pm on Monday July 27. A copy of the Draft TMP can be downloaded from Council’s website at www.byron.nsw.gov. au/public-exhibition or can be seen at Council’s Mullumbimby offices.

The District Court in Lismore has sentenced former Olympic kayaker and local resident Nathan Baggaley, 32, to at least five years for dealing ecstasy. Baggaley won two silver medals at the Athens Olympics in 2004. Baggaley was sentenced to a maximum of nine years in jail with a non-parole period of five years after pleading guilty in February to manufacturing ecstasy and supplying more

than 1,500 tablets. His brother Dru Baggaley, 27, was sentenced to a maximum of 12 years’ jail for pleading guilty to the manufacture and supply of a large quantity of ecstasy. Dru Baggaley will be eligible for parole after serving a minimum of eight years. The brothers were arrested on the NSW north coast in November 2007 in a joint operation between Queensland and NSW police.

Newrybar fireworks The biggest event on the Newrybar calendar would have to be the annual Newrybar School Fireworks. Held at the public school on Saturday June 13 from 4 pm onwards, this fund-raiser is more than just a big bonfire – there are rides and races, prizes and facepaintings, music and a fair, not to mention the stalls serving up

a fantastic array of great food. Hearty home-made curries, kebabs, cakes and an espresso coffee cart ensure there will be something for everybody. With the bonfire keeping souls warm and spirits high, this is a perfect occasion for family entertainment on a winter’s evening, with all proceeds going toward the public school.

Cop charged with assault A police officer has been charged with assaulting police after an incident in Byron Bay on Thursday morning. According to a police report, officers were dealing with an intoxicated person on Jonson Street when it is alleged two men began hindering the officers. One of the males was an off duty 38-year-old attached to a Local Area Command within the Southern Region. It is alleged the off duty senior constable grabbed one of the officers and as a result was pushed away. The off duty officer then allegedly punched the policeman,

from the Tweed/Byron Local Area Command, on the jaw. As a result the off duty officer was later served a Field Court Attendance Notice for the offence of ‘assault police in the execution of duty’. He is expected to appear at Byron Bay Local Court on Friday June 19. In other crime news, Melbourne Storm players Cooper Cronk and Brett Finch have each been fined $5,000 by their club for being caught urinating in a public place in Byron Bay. The incident was brought to the attention of the club by the players themselves, after they were cautioned by police.

Circus stunts overshadow progress Volume 23 #51

June 2, 2009

Belongil stormfront The forerunner of what could be played out along our coastline – in fact, a lot of Australia’s eastern seaboard – is happening at Belongil Spit. Byron Shire Council has gone to court against Belongil resident John Vaughan to stop him protecting his property from the sea in recent tide surges. Mr Vaughan says the works are allowed under an existing development application, Council disagrees. Council was successful last week in getting a temporary injunction to stop Mr Vaughan undertaking protective works. The sting in the tail is that the court ruled that Council will pay damages to the property owner if it is shown at a future hearing the works were entitled to be done. This could set a dangerous precedent and put millions of dollars of ratepayers’ money at risk. One can imagine that state government has its fingers crossed in the hope it doesn’t get dragged into the argument. If Council thinks this is about protecting its policy of planned retreat, then it might be time to think again. Planned retreat provides for an orderly evacuation – at Belongil, this represents one of those oxymorons like ‘military intelligence’ – and removal of homes if the sea finally inundates the Spit. If climate change brings about sufficient sea level rise, then the Spit will have to be abandoned to the ocean, especially if the state government can’t afford to come to the party and create the kind of very expensive works which might save the area. But the immediate situation is surely about the emergency protection of lives and properties. Belongil property owners are obviously acting out of selfinterest – who wouldn’t? – but the interests of Byron Bay itself may be at stake as well. Expert witnesses have been produced to say that if the foredune is breached along the Spit then tidal waters may flood along Shirley Street and into town. Certainly our front page photo shows how close the sea is to the work on a new subdivision recently approved by Council off Border Street. It would be one of nature’s great ironies if Council’s Main Beach rockworks which have helped in the erosion of Belongil see the ocean sneak into town from behind. Much of the blame will be levelled at the current Council but it is also a disaster which has been waiting to happen since the Spit was first subdivided in the 1880s. The blame game plays out well in our adversarial court system, which is not exactly a sustainable ‘product’ for the 21st century – although it beats the rule of brute force hands down. There are well-formed egos on both sides of the argument but one hopes they have the intelligence to see negotiation is needed before the next high tides come. Otherwise it’s just money for jam for some highly-paid lawyers and more heartache for Byron Shire as a whole. – Michael McDonald, editor

or the casual observer, last week was political Send in the Clowns week: a series of progressively sillier and noisier stunts in parliament during which forests were felled for ammunition in an inconclusive and ultimately pointless poster war. But in fact, it was a week in which quite a lot happened. Whatever else can be said about our beloved Prime Minister, he cannot be accused of laziness; you get the feeling that if you could just plug him into the power grid the entire energy crisis would be solved overnight. And what’s more he can do two, three, four or even more things at the same time. Not only does he defy Lyndon Johnson’s stricture on Gerald Ford by walking and farting simultaneously; last week he also announced a breakthrough in the Murray-Darling saga and resumed his role as Asian statesman in his time off from the parliamentary vaudeville. The real criticism has to be in the timing; because the media concentrated, inevitably, on the circus in Canberra, the government did not get the kudos it might have expected from its more constructive and thoughtful activities. But this should not detract from their importance. Since John Howard’s Great Big Splash of early 2007 when he announced that he was assuming supreme power to save the Murray-Darling at a cost of $10 billion, there has been a lot of talk but very little action. Almost immediately Victoria announced that it would not allow its irrigation quotas to be traded away and in the face of this first murmur of opposition the Supremo went, as they say, to water. His then personal water boy, Malcolm Turnbull, hinted that compulsion could not be ruled out altogether, but he too folded in the face of National Party intransigence.

F

The change of government brought renewed and even more hairy-chested commitment to the basin, especially from Rudd’s minister Penny Wong, and eventually a few small trickles were allowed back into the system. But overall it appeared that the problem had been relegated to the too hard basket: there were just too many conflicts and complications economically, environmentally

Because the media concentrated, inevitably, on the circus in Canberra, the government did not get the kudos it might have expected‌ by Mungo MacCallum and above all politically. Actually the issue is childishly simple: too much water has been taken out of the system and if it is to be saved, quite a lot will have to be put back. But the missing water has gone to support farms, towns, whole industries; getting it back will be divisive and disruptive. The process needs a big kickstart and last week’s announcement may well have provided it. It has certainly stirred up the states; New South Wales immediately moved to cap its own irrigation and threatened to join South Australia in a legal challenge to the Victorian ban, a somewhat bizarre double. But at the same time the Victorians opened a crack in the door suggesting that their hitherto inflexible position might be negotiable. And the issue, of course, is now well and truly front and centre, where it belongs. Break out the champagne, or at least a glass or two of Murray-Darling special. And then Rudd went to Singapore to reopen the matter

for their purposes, and if they weren’t there was always APEC, although that had been made unwieldy and less relevant by the United States insistence on incorporating the Latin and South American countries into the original concept. But last week the reaction was somewhat different. Rudd’s diplomats led by Richard Woolcott have been working diligently behind the scenes, and with the Global Financial Crisis more intense and the latest belligerence from North Korea there was at least the beginning of a feeling that the idea might be worth considering. So Rudd was able to announce the calling of a non-political summit later this year, in which officials, academics and opinion makers could get together to discuss what he tactfully called ‘the future of our regional architecture for the 21st century’. Another breakthrough in what was really a very good week for the indefatigable Ruddster. But compare and contrast Malcolm Turnbull,

who once again finds himself in a limbo of compromise, confusion and obfuscation. The Leader of the Opposition (or at least his bit of it) now says the coalition is ready to commit to Rudd’s emission reduction target of between 5 and 25 per cent by 2020 – well, sort of, in principle, depending on what happens. This in itself should not be surprising, since it was also his policy back in 2007 and for a period thereafter. But lest he be accused of consistency, he firmly rejects Rudd’s Emissions Trading Scheme as a means of attaining it, although this too was his own policy. Instead, he wants to talk about putting a kind of a sort of a something or other in place after we see what everyone else does. This, he preposterously claims, will give Australia a firm and unequivocal bipartisan commitment to take to the Copenhagen conference. In the meantime, of course, the National wing of the coalition which Turnbull nominally heads continues to reject anything and everything, with Barnaby Joyce proudly proclaiming that Australia will never have an ETS of any kind. Nicholas Stern, whose report pushed climate change into the forefront of public debate back in 2007, said last week that if Copenhagen was to have any chance of success it was imperative that the big per capita emitters like Australia take a lead; only then would the developing polluters like China and India be persuaded to join in a truly international program for change. Malcolm Turnbull, formerly Australia’s Minister for the Environment, will not endorse even the minimalist position which he himself once proposed. If he wasn’t so rich you’d have to think he was a dead set drongo.

Reasons to refuse Woolies’ s98 Rather than argue logical or real sewage issues, Woolworths has stuck with illogic. The argument about whether it can make their ludicrous onsite sewerage system work at Station Street (which it can’t) is a smokescreen over the real issue here. To date, Woolworths has had consultant BRW from Toowoomba for their onsite sewage management (OSM) proposals. Their many Woolworths submissions so far show that BRW seems to know nothing about OSM in NSW. Councillors will have a week in June or July to read the new Section 68 submission and vote on it. Shame – it doesn’t go on public display like a DA does. When considering and finally approving Woolworths

Section 96 last year, the Department of Planning (DoP) in Sydney, realised they also knew nothing (quote from Sergeant Schultz). They engaged consultants Whiteheads to review the OSM application. Mullumbimby Community Action Network now has these reviews, obtained under FOI. It turns out that Woolworths intends to tanker its sewage away from Station Street in wet weather (but isn’t that all the time?). The DoP thinks that is fine and so asked its Minister Kenneally to approve the Section 96, which she did. The Station Street site is saturated for about half a normal year and for three quarters of a wet year. The tankers are not a last re-

sort, they are the main mechanism. That is the smokescreen. Woolworths will irrigate on odd days to save their landscaping and some tanker money but the bulk of the sewage will go out by truck. The rest of Mullumbimby has had to put its development plans on hold for ten years, due to a sewage moratorium in town. We couldn’t subdivide, or build granny flats, or the extra bedroom, or the new subdivision because Clause 45 said we didn’t have prior adequate arrangements for the sewage. And we still don’t. There was no tinkering with tankering allowed either. So why should Woolworths get what the rest of the Shire couldn’t have? No reason, except that a DoPe in Sydney

said it’d be fine. This idea was rejected locally by our council, but approved by a shonky state government under shonky planning laws. There is no reason for locals to cave in and approve the Section 68 now. Councillors, please reject Woolworths Section 68 application. Vote NO. Woolworths can always come back with a new proposal that does work. Or they could ask DoP for help, since DoP thinks it can be done. Or they could just do what Frank Sartor approved in 2006, build on half the block and irrigate on the other half. Stick by the rules? No, not if you’re the big poo people.

pens when you are a vassal of a state government that changes the rules on a weekly basis to enhance their funding opportunities. On another matter I notice that someone has levered the lid off John Lazarus’s (self-inflicted) political coffin and he is out spinning his version of history on the Splendour DA (Letters, May 26). I know he was devastated to see Jan Barham not support the DA as he had spent considerable time and effort attacking her supposed support. Now he is beating up the rezoning issue which I understand is dead in the water until the new LEP comes to life.

bush challenge in South Golden Beach (last few Echos) and how volunteers exacerbated the whole problem made me question my idea of a ‘green council’. I find it really hard to believe that this, our ‘green council’, has not yet furthered a smarter way of roadside, dune, play and sports ground vegetation management. Why does BSC not employ proactive council staff who are interested in developing progressive chemical free management strategies for unwanted vegetation? Spray on? Not happy, Jan!

dent of Ocean Shores who has witnessed the destruction of the littoral ecosystems by this rampant weed for decades and the failure of any other method of control, I can only congratulate both Byron Shire and the NPWS for having the courage to follow the example set by Tweed Shire in its outstandingly successful attack on Bitou bush. The effective use of glyphosate is plain to see for those who can remove their blinkers long enough to appreciate that sometimes it is necessary to choose between the ‘lesser of two evils’. Applied at the right time of year and in very diluted quantities it is most effective and has minimal effect on other species. One has only to walk or cycle north along the old sandmining track behind the foredunes of the Billinudgel Nature Reserve to be struck by the contrast between the desert of bitou bush, which is the present

legacy of Byron Shire, and the amazing rejuvenation of the littoral vegetation in the Tweed Shire. Either that or just drive down the Wooyung to Pottsville road and remember what it was like just a few years ago. There is not an obvious bitou bush to be seen now and the native species are thriving. I recently witnessed an attempt by a group of wellmeaning indivduals to attack this problem with hand tools. Such a task is in the realm of the impossible. It is now totally impractical to attempt to defeat bitou by such means. Such token gestures are just that and have resulted in a compounding of the problem as was mentioned in last week’s article. I do not wish to denigrate those people in our shire who are opposed to the use of herbicides to control our weed populations but I do ask them to be rational in their approach and to consider the evidence logically. Fanaticism can rear its ugly head on all sides of a debate and when it does rationality and positive results usually suffer. David Green

Footbridge at last! This letter is to thank all the community members who have worked so hard on making our humble little footbridge happen. Years of door knocking, getting and writing support

letters, showing up to planning meetings and generally keeping the faith have brought us victory in the end. Special mentions are in order for ‘terrier’ Angela Dunlop and to Rosi Pilgrim, engineer Phil Wallace for his years of persistent pro bono design work and support, to Ron Priestley, Duncan Dey, Peter Westheimer, Diane Woods, Jan Barham, Richard Staples, and all the other BSC councillors who have kept true to their word. The biggest thanks of all go to Tony Baggio and Ross Harding who with their years of experience designed a simple and affordable bridge and helped us steer through the Council obstacle course. I hope this project will prove to Council that infrastructure jobs don’t just need to go to massive international companies, but can be achieved with the considerable expertise that we have in our own community. Phil Holloway of Council’s asset management team is to be congratulated on his direct and practical ‘let’s make this happen’ approach that gave us a much needed boost. Our group has appreciated all the support and interest shown by the local media which has kept the whole Shire abreast of the Helen Street Bridge’s progress down the years. It has had more twist and turns, more drama and pathos than a Mexican soap opera and hopefully the fiesta at the finale will

a helping hand – but not Byron Shire Council! Instead it is spending tens of thousands of ratepayer’s money on Sydney lawyers stopping John and Anne Vaughan from saving their family home, who by the way, are not asking for any council funding, just the right to protect. Council officers stopped them and even prohibited them from saving two beautiful old pandanus trees that were in reach of their machine! It was sad to watch. Council has on record several reports warning them that the rock wall in front of the swim-

ming pool will cause massive erosion at Belongil. But most importantly what many residents are yet to realise is that if the Belongil Spit washes away then the high tides and storms will flood the town centre. Last week’s flooding of Shirley Street is just a taste of what is to come if the dune is fully breached. Why is Council hiding, overlooking or ignoring this town flooding issue and why is it keen to ensure families lose their homes? How does this serve our wonderful community?

At the last meeting I reminded Mr Darney that I still hadn’t received a reply to questions put three weeks earlier. Despite his assurance then that he’d written the actual letter, two weeks on I’m still waiting. Perhaps it is the subject matter that causes his writer’s block and brings on the arthritis that renders him unable to pop that letter in the ‘out’ tray. For some months now I’ve been trying to ascertain whether there is anything on the record which suggests that my Coorabell property was checked off against a list of criteria pertaining to the Rural Settlement Strategy. In 1998 David Kanaley, then in charge of strategic planning, drew up a map of rural Byron

Shire in which several areas were identified as potentially suitable for Community Title. Those areas were circular and had a fixed radius from a local school or shop. If your property fell outside of this radius it was automatically excluded. If it fell inside it was then assessed according to a checklist of criteria which Mr Kanaley used as a guideline. OK, so my property definitely fell within the Coorabell radius, yet it was excluded from the strategy. My immediate neighbours to the south and west however were included, and they had identical soil, vegetation cover, aspect and slope characteristics to mine. Now a few weeks ago Coun-

■ Byron Shire Council appears to be oblivious to a major crisis that threatens Belongil Spit. Residents of Belongil are fighting the council to be allowed to protect their properties from being consumed by an advancing sea. Under Council’s planned retreat policy residents are not allowed to protect their own properties. And Council refuses to offer a coastal management plan that considers the value of Belongil. They are planning for it to be consumed by the sea. Numerous studies show that Council’s own protection works, the car park in

front of the Byron Bay township, are a major contributor to the erosion at Belongil. The Belongil Spit forms an intricate part of the coastal ecosystem that includes the Little Tern sanctuary and creates a tidal buffer zone that reduces flooding from tidal effects in the low areas of the township.

Maniacs on the road Who was the maniac that ran me off the road near the Mullumbimby Golf Club on Saturday night May 23? I would say you remain oblivious to the havoc that your incredibly stupid actions of overtaking on double lines, and cutting in too close to my vehicle, have caused. When I tried to move out of your way my car started aquaplaning across the road before spinning out of control and sliding backwards into a paddock fence in very wet, dark conditions – terrifying! And you didn’t even stop to see if I was okay, knowing full well that you had caused the accident. This happened on the same stretch of road where a local resident was killed not a month before.

I was left with severe shock and am now without a vehicle which is at the repairers awaiting assessment. If the insurer writes the car off I will be left with a large gap price to replace the vehicle or, at best, only having to pay the excess for repairs – goodonya arsehole! Wake up! I live 5km from Mullumbimby and am constantly amazed at the impatient behaviour of some drivers on the rural roads around Mullumbimby, which is nothing short of idiotic and selfish, showing complete disregard for other road users, including all vehicles, bike riders, animals and pedestrians. Although the legal speed limit on roads into and out of Mullumbimby is 100kph you can still arrive in town with-

cil produced a lengthy and complex document called an ‘Investigation Report’, of which GM Graeme Faulkner claimed to be the author. That report concluded that my property was treated identically to others. Accordingly there should exist in the records an assessment of my property which gives reasons for its rejection, a checklist. If no such document exists then my property was wrongfully excluded and I was denied due process. Now this is the interesting part: the ‘Investigation Report’, while it rattled on about all manner of detail, explicitly says it did not look at the assessment of the property! That is it did not look at the very matter which is at the heart of my dispute with Council. So, Mr Darney, cough it up: is there an assessment of my property on the record or is there not? This is not going to go away, mate, and until it is resolved neither am I.

This attachment is not a misty-eyed longing for the dark industrial streets of the English midlands but a compelling tribal feeling of association to what is and always has been a dramatically unsuccessful football club.

Where is the reasoning in speeding up behind a vehicle travelling at this safer speed and sitting on their arse, looking for the first opportunity to overtake, only to find that the car you overtook gets to town at the same time as you? I am now over the shock of the accident, but left very angry and no doubt poorer. Not to mention my faith in human behaviour, and that of expecting people to act responsibly, being severely questioned.

floodplains for the Ballina Bypass, landholders are then victimised in cost-cutting on bridges and viaducts in getting water through. All they ever pleaded was the right of passage of natural floodwaters, across a natural floodplain, as nature provided, surely not a big ask?

Anyone aware of the environmental vandalism and scouring out of the valley and private property from new highway works and flooding at the base of Tintenbar Hill and Old Bangalow Road could be suffering a severe case of grand delusion. For in the eyes of the RTA and Ballina Shire Council it’s just not happening. The same can be said for a whole string of flood channel blockages right down the floodplain to the Richmond River at Ballina. Take a good look at the former Tintenbar valley as its new highway crossings are poised into position, a retrograde step to floodwater problems and rotting vegetation every inch of the way. And don’t miss the Cumbalum valley, gutted from one end to the other, and the nearby Ballina Heights Housing Estates’ floodplain reclamation beyond all comprehension. Next comes the Roberts Creek crossover, kaput. The Fishery Creek network, a total wipeout. The upcoming Teven road bridge replacements, don’t even think about it. And the remainder of the West Ballina floodplain at a point of no return. Now everyone likes a new highway, no one denies that.

Bank power Colin Cook’s letter on borrowing money (Echo, May 26) is most opportune and important. Mr Cook indicates, correctly, in my opinion, that the present system of borrowing financial credit, at compound rates of interest, is intended precisely to give the private banking structure dominance over national and international affairs. In fact the recent G20 meetings, from which the media as usual were excluded, has made it quite clear that a World Currency is intended. So ends national sovereignty! This being so, it is more than passing strange that both our ‘Labour’ and Liberal politicians seem to be incredibly keen to cooperate in the scheme, which of course also means acceptance of a World Government, over which we will have less control than we will over a World Bank. We have had plenty of examples of how much notice the private banks take of government request for a reasonable attitude towards citizens in debt to the banks. What pleasant understanding can we expect from international civil servants? As I have stated in previous correspondence on the subject of the current crisis, it is solely due to the actions of banks and financial speculators that we have the crisis. Why on earth should we trust them to decontinued overleaf

Protecting biodiversity in the Shire’s north I wish to respond to several issues raised by Mat Morris, manager of North Byron Shire Parklands, in his letter to The Echo of May 19. Firstly, it is apparent that Mat is a newcomer to the area, as he is somewhat behind the eight ball. As far back as 1997, Commissioner Cleland recognised the importance of the Jones Road wildlife corridor, despite its partial degradation. He highlighted the need to protect and conserve the wildlife corridor into the future as it provided an important vegetated link from the coastal reserve systems through to the World Heritage hinterland forests of the Mt Warning caldera. On the scientific evidence before him,

velop a scheme in which the interests of the citizenry are prioritised? During the Great Depression of the 1930s Mr Justice Napier was appointed to ‘inquire into money and banking in Australia’. In sections 504 and 505 of that Inquiry, clarifying his findings for other members of the Board, Napier stated that the

the Commissioner further strengthened and expanded the environmental protection zones that were drafted by Byron Council. Byron Council has since mapped all forest areas within the Jones Road wildlife corridor as High Conservation Value, Threatened Fauna Habitat and highest quality Koala Habitat. In addition, Council’s Wildlife Corridor Mapping incorporates all forested areas as well as intervening pasture areas. As a result of the Inquiry’s findings, the RTA invested millions of dollars into fauna mitigation devices and added large areas of land within the corridor into the Reserve System. Therefore it would be more realistic to say that in the last

ten years the corridor has actually been strengthened and not degraded, as you would imply. Secondly, Mat, you promote that you have planted 7,500 trees, yet you do not mention the habitat (including old growth trees) that would have been bulldozed to accommodate your festival roads. You also promote that you are about to transfer 35ha of land into the Billinudgel Nature Reserve and yet you do not mention that it is actually a land swap you are currently undertaking with the Department of Environment and Climate Change in order to gain certain lands currently owned by NPWS. Thirdly, you accuse CONOS of being NIMBYs. Just in case

you have forgotten, Mat, let me remind you. Other groups that oppose the Splendour in the Grass festival at Yelgun are Coalition For Festival Sanity, Ocean Shores residents, South Golden Beach, New Brighton and Yelgun Progress Associations, Wooyung Defenders and the Coastal Alliance. Add to this the environment groups BEACON, Byron Environment Centre, Australians for Animals, Byron/Ballina Greens, Friends of the Koala, North Coast Environment Council, Nature Conservation Council of NSW, National Parks Association and the Total Environment Centre. Perhaps you have a name for them also?

In 2007 I was employed by Billinudgel Property Trust to help design and implement restoration works at Yelgun. Applying for environmental projects is competitive, only those which will achieve significant benefits at reasonable costs are funded. The current project aims to restore degraded farmland into native forest and strengthen the fragmented wildlife corridor. The project area (zoned 7k) had undergone clearing and been farmed for bananas, cane and cattle by previous owners. Tree planting has been one component in rehabilitating over ten hectares of land. Other works include weed control, fencing to exclude cattle, constructing Bob Oehlman fauna habitat boxes and conCONOS president ducting vegetation assessments.

Planting trees is expensive and includes significant costs for maintenance and wallaby guards. Areas are now permanently excluded from cattle so barbed wire fences (which can entangle bats and gliders) are being removed. The project has cost over $100,000 and received $42,799 from Envirofund. This restoration project is not required for a DA and came from a genuine desire to enhance the environment. Some will believe the motivation is just greenwash. No matter where you sit on the Splendour debate rest assured this project will see significant long term benefits for biodiversity and has been an efficient use of public money.

bank (Commonwealth Bank) could finance government(s) and others, for low interest, for no interest, and where necessary, without repayment of the capital sum (!) at varying compound rates! In the 1970s in correspondence with Treasury I asked whether Justice Napier had in fact made it clear that the Commonwealth Bank could

finance governments and others, in such a manner and I was told by a First Assistant Secretary, ‘Yes, Justice Napier did say that government could obtain finance in such a matter; did not say should’. Again we see where politicians’ loyalties lie. They lick the feet of Mammon, and so destroy the prosperity, and security of the very people whose interests they allegedly

serve. And in this betrayal, the trade union leadership plays an important part. If sufficient of the mentally deficient spectators of the weekends of sport can be persuaded to raise this extremely important matter with their elected parliamentary member, it is just possible that we may be able to escape the vise to which the ‘Internationalists’

are driving us. I think it was Aldous Huxley who opined that it would be through the presentation of pleasurable entertainments that the tyrants would govern the world. So?

some things deserve existence and some do not. As a society, rather than fit in with nature and some of its plants that are labelled weeds, we think weeds should be killed because they have no right to an existence. Dr Recher mentions antibiotics that are engaged in the killing of both beneficial and non-beneficial micro organisms. As with war, the innocent are killed. Antibiotics came into existence because the white races were turning their backs on the previous knowledge that in the wildness of nature was the means for perfect health. At the time of the discovery of penicillin during WWII, the white races had given up the nomadism that guaranteed them a balanced diet, and in the backblocks of Australia, damper, dripping and black tea were common fare. The newly emerging, technologically developed white flour, processed sugar and other processed foods created starvation diets even though people felt satiated. The diet largely continues today with many overweight people suffering malnutrition which often leads to disease. The technological innovation of antibiotics could never supply the ultimate antidote to malnutrition of an immune system maintaining diet. We now know that the use of antibiotics has created antibiotic resistant superbugs. Antibiotics, like weed sprays, were not the godsends that Dr Recher speaks of. They were technological illusions by which we could momentarily pretend that we could stand apart from, or transcend, nature.

Illusions Dr Recher’s question to Richard Staples (Letters, May 12), ‘When are you going to stop using herbicides?’ in relation to Richard’s petrol use, is a good reason why science needs to take a back seat to philosophy in order that science can be more gainfully employed for the wellbeing of the whole. To stop using petrol today would bring the society to a dead stop including food supply, but a stop to herbicide use, although producing price increases, has achievable alternatives. Farmers can function organically. Traffic signs can be weed-proofed by citizens adopting a sign and appropriately planting low growing, vigorous and weed resisting species in hope of winning the prize council offers for the most weed resistant planting that allows sign display. Or they may do it simply out of conviction that with cancer among us, we cannot afford another possible assault on immune systems by weed spraying. Bush regeneration is arguably an aesthetic indulgence in that if humans were hypothetically removed from the planet nature would keep on going; some species would die out and some would thrive. Whatever happened however would be better for soil, a primary basis of life. Chemical-free bush regeneration at Cumbebin wetland is not carried out primarily because of concern for the toxicity of spray chemicals, although it is true none has been proven safe. It is carried out primarily to provide at a philosophical level, demonstrated in practice, an alternative to the strongly held societal conviction that

Marine park stars in festival Victoria Bitter Stubbies

Silver trevally in Cape Byron Marine Park by John Natoli. Other images by John Natoli are in the Byron Underwater Festival winners’ gallery, online at www.underwaterfestival.com.au.

Cape Byron Marine Park manager Andrew Page has applauded the recent Underwater Festival at Byron Bay for showcasing the stunning beauty of the Cape Byron Marine Park. ‘The Cape Byron Marine Park was without doubt the undisputed star of the recent Byron Underwater Festival and we thank the organisers

Tim and Wendy Hochgrebe for their marvellous vision and commitment. ‘The marine park is a wonderful venue for the festival and we look forward to the festival’s return to Byron Bay in two years time.’ Festival organiser Tim Hochgrebe said this year had been the third year the event

had been held and had been the most successful yet. ‘Record crowds, sold out events and fantastic weather all contributed to an amazing event. We had nearly 80 people taking photos and video footage underwater as part of one event, which we believe set a new record for the Australasian region at least.’

A sincere thank you The entire family of Milli O’Nair would like to say from the depths of their shattered hearts, a sincere thank you to everyone who offered or gave help and love to us during a time of unspeakable grief. There are so many of you. Some however require a special mention. We cannot express our thanks and gratitude enough to Michael Currie and Nici Paitson from Michael Currie Funerals for the caring, compassionate and dignified way they treated Milli and us. They did it our way and nothing was a problem. Our Celebrant on the day, Judy Arpana, who had to work under such difficult conditions, holding back her own tears. You are a jewel JudyLa and we love you. Zenith, thanks for the best idea ever for Sunday night. It worked. Varney Magill, meals on wheels, you provided nourishment to our hearts and bodies. Gerhard and Phil for the slide show and Milli’s website presentation, just brilliant. Mark the music and PA man. Sharon the wonder masseuse. Haydie, who did so well to speak so clearly about Milli, her lifelong friend. Also for cooking our dinner. Dear friends and Anni and Roz who flew in on a moment’s notice to care for us, share with us, hold us up and generally run the house Dave for the wood all neatly stacked. Who wouldn’t obey Navaya, darling. Dorset for the beautiful pamphlet. Sally Packshaw for the wonderful marquee and all her love and help. Sharelle and Elloise for such delicious cakes and food during the week and especially on Monday. We did get some. The folks from Gondwana, Bouda, Wendy, Peachy and everyone who came to decorate the hall, create the shrine, meditate in Milli’s room and handle the media. You showed great love and respect. Whoever painted the bridge? We think it is fantastic. We only hope you didn’t put yourselves in too much danger to do it.

All the men and women from Main Arm and Kohinur who set up, miraculously cleaned up, organised parking and lit fires, What wonderful spontaneous friends you are. Thanks to Mark for the soothing herbs. They were just what the doctor ordered. We can’t forget our petal collectors. If we were a flower in Main Arm last week we would have been very afraid. Thank you everyone for all the flowers and cards, just exquisite. Any further donations could go to the Fred Hollows Foundation, as there is an account under Milli O’Nair set up by Tina and Viggo, in memory of Milli’s big blue eyes. Thanks to Donny McCormack who offered to video the celebration and leave us, and you, with a lasting memento. Also we can’t forget Lisa Fairy. The box you made for Milli is exquisite. It oozes love. You may be happy to know it is now the holder of many memories of Milli’s celebration and we will keep it very safe. We must not forget our enterprising, entrepreneurial kids, Tess and Oscar, who without our knowledge, raised $308.30 in donations for Milli and gave away toys to other kids. We love you all. Please forgive us if we have forgotten you. It is not intentional we assure you. We have received so much love and support from every direction during this time. Our hearts are touched deeply, it helps us to get out of bed and face a new day. All of you who came to Milli’s celebration knew Milli in personal ways and you all loved her. You were her friends. Please don’t walk by us in the street even if we don’t know you. Say hello. One last thing. If Milli’s life work was to connect people, she sure did a grand job on Monday 18th. The work she did and loved with passion was creating change, reconnecting, relationships and communities. We would love to see her work continued by those she worked with and those she helped to heal, to play and to laugh. Om Shanti . – Tara and Peter Leishman and Family.

Improving Relationships So much of what we experience in our relationships with others goes unsaid, or comes out in ways that can be very damaging, according to tutor Gayle Russell. ‘We often struggle with indecision and a lack of clarity over what is happening with others. ‘It may be reassuring to know that you are not alone in these experiences and things can change for the better, for your own wellbeing.’ A two-day Assertiveness and Improving Relationships course, currently being offered by ACE ‘will give you valuable experiences and the skills to more fully express your needs’. The tutor, Gayle Russell, trainer and Gestalt psychotherapist, is offering the course on Saturday and Sunday June 13-14, 10am-4pm, in Mullumbimby. ‘This course will help you see ways to step in new directions and change what you really don’t want in your life,’ said Ms Russell. Places are quickly filling for these ACE courses. Phone ACE now on 6684 3374 to secure your place, or phone Gayle on 6684 1119 to find our more.

Deborah Hoy, Lakshmi to her friends, local and mother to Robert (37) and Daniel (35), was a healthy woman in her late 40s when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1994. She was told she would never walk again. Deb orah immediately sought alternative healing and devoted herself to an Ayurvedic lifestyle. In 2004 she met Simon Green, a cranial sacral therapist with insight into sacred medicinal plants and he in turn introduced her to a doctor shaman in Venezuela. Deborah travelled to Venezuela and began her plant healing through sacred teacher-healers Ayahuasca and San Pedro cactus (Huachuma). Son Robert says, ‘It was in these plant ceremonies that Mum’s past abuse came up. Mum immediately saw the po-

tential for her curation through these teacher plants.’ Deborah returned home six weeks later free of MS and began addressing the issues of past abuse. It was during this time that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. ‘After all the conventional Western tests and biopsies Mum said she just wanted to be with the plants’.’ Money was raised for travel to Peru where Deborah and Robert met with female shamans who embraced them into their lives and sat in San Pedro healing ceremonies. The cancer was of an ancestral nature and so it was at this time that eldest son Daniel joined them in ceremony. Once the ancestral spirit origin was established and the line ‘cut’ it was time for Deborah to begin her physical healing. She and Robert headed to the Amazonian jungle of North East Peru where they lived with and were guided by female shamans (Curanderas) and vegatalistas (plant

experts) as to the best course for Deborah. Deborah is still living in Iquitos one and a half years after she first arrived and continuing her healing. The curanderas, and Deborah herself, now believe her cancer is in remission. The details of Lakshmi’s long and courageous journey are many and absorbing and best told by her son Robert who has documented his mother’s journey from the offset, both in his own words and on film. Robert presents ‘Curanderas – Female Shamans of Peru’ on Thursday June 4 at 6.30pm for 7pm start at the Byron Bay Community Centre. The journey of love, family old and new, female shamans and the teacher plants, courage and faith from the ghettos of Chiclayo to the depths of the Amazon will be shared through film, stories and song. Tickets $10. Lakshmi’s blog can be found at http://lakshmishealingjourney.blogspot.com/2009/03/ anscestal.html.

Simple Pleasures photo comp on again Hosted by the Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce, the fifth annual Simple Pleasures Photography Competition is all set to start. With entry opening on Friday June 5, this year the theme is ‘All the great things are simple’, a quote from Winston Churchill. The Echo is again the principal sponsor and the event will be coordinated by local event manager, Lanie Loughlin, coordinator of the 2006 Kites and Bikes Festival and the 2008 Fatherhood Festival. With generous cash prizes in five categories on offer, as well as the fun and satisfaction of making art in your own backyard, it’s time to take your camera in hand, sharpen your eye, and start hunting for inspiration. Entry forms will be available from June 5 online at www.

brunswickheads.org.au or at the Brunswick Heads Visitor Centre located at 7 Park Street, Brunswick Heads. Entries close on Friday August 7. The prize award ceremony will take place on Sunday September 13. Several photos will also be chosen for the 2010 Brunswick calendar or postcards of Brunswick. ‘The community’s response to this low key cultural event has been outstanding,’ says Lanie. ‘This year the spirit of Brunswick Heads will again go on display around the CBD with an exhibition of works planned from Saturday August

22 to Friday September 25.’ The first competition was held in 2005 as part of the Simple Pleasures campaign, and provided a snapshot of how the local community perceived its town and lifestyle. The competition was also held in 2006, 2007and 2008. Perhaps it’s eating fresh shucked oysters, riding a bike or resting in the shade of an ancient Norfolk Pine. It may be swimming in the surf, a pretty window in an old house or sharing a milkshake – any object, person or experience you feel captures the character, the charm and the Simple Pleasures of Brunswick Heads. For all enquiries and information including sponsorship opportunities please contact Lanie Loughlin at events@ brunswickheads.org.au or 0401 470 188. www.echo.net.au

Controlling youth anger is Peter Gauge’s aim Former champion boxer Peter Gauge, who runs the boxing and fitness club at Mullumbimby’s Drill Hall, is on a mission to control teenage anger, aggression and violence. Peter, 41, wants young people not to deny their rage but to channel it into something safe like the fitness training he is offering he calls ‘Boxation’, a combination of no-contact boxing training together with yoga, circuit training, core stability and gentle stretching. The training ends with a meditation routine to relax or free the mind, which is not as easy as it sounds. He wants to teach Byron Shire teenagers how to keep their cool or keep their anger and aggression under wraps through his fitness training classes every Monday from 6pm to 7pm at Mullumbimby Drill Hall, starting next Tuesday, May 26. Local schools such as Mullumbimby High and Shearwater have taken on Peter’s unique training in dealing with anger appropriately. Peter, who has an 11-year-

old daughter called India, says anger is a natural emotion. ‘When children and teenagers are taught anger is wrong and they shouldn’t be feeling

it, they will have a difficult time dealing with their anger as adults.’ he said. ‘When anger is “owned” and expressed through box-

ing or martial arts or yoga etc, the anger doesn’t own them. Anger that is continually repressed becomes rage, aggression and violence towards others or equally hurtful to oneself. Anger then turns from a natural emotion to an unnatural one.’ Peter competed in 75 fights in his 23-year-long amateur boxing career in the light welterweight class throughout UK and Europe and was West of England champion 20 years ago for several years. ‘I’ve never known a good boxer ever start trouble, pick or bully anyone as they have nothing to prove. ‘By constantly being taught that anger is wrong and unnatural, society, parents or peer groups complete the vicious circle. ‘When a child is angry and not dealing with it appropriately, the parent usually becomes angry about the child being angry and this is where the trouble starts, the child is crying out for help, not more anger. ‘The anger then becomes resentment through misunderstanding, aggression and

so forth. ‘By a lack of understanding, anger is expressed through violence against others... with drugs and alcohol usually vehicles for repressing unexpected anger. ‘As adults we know or should know that these unresolved feelings equate to dis–ease and this is not the direction we should be taking with our children. ‘Just because our parents and their parents were taught to repress their natural feelings doesn’t mean we have to.’ Cost of the classes is $15 for adults, $10 for children.

World Environment Day (WED) was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. Commemorated yearly on 5 June, WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.

The day’s agenda is to: 1. Give a human face to environmental issues 2. Empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development 3. Promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues; 4. Advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future. The theme for WED 2009 is ‘Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change’. It reects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.

each of his live performances. Lang is fast becoming a household name around the world and after six ARIA award nominations, as well as his win in 2002, he truly deserves the honour. He’s a unique musician – he performs without a set list and allows the energy of each night TO shape the songs, taking the audience along for the ride. What enhances his unique nature is his steadfast adherence to a prolific and diverse musical palette. Lang crafts his songs as novella – rich with depth and vision, yet with an open breath for individual interpretation. The show at the Bangalow Catholic Hall will provide an intimate setting to see Lang deliver a stunning performance. Enjoy a warming treat available on the night, relax and be mesmerized by a truly one of

a kind performance. Special guest Jordie Lane is known for his unique finger style guitar, blues harmonica and commanding vocals. Sunday at 7pm. Proudly presented by Ku Promotions.

Ash Grunwald Grunwald is a soulful bluesman in the most pure sense. Raised in outer Melbourne, he first picked up a guitar at the sprightly age of ten. ‘My granddad, who is from South Africa, would play bass and I would play with him,’ he recalls. ‘He used to do a lot of home recordings. I’ve often speculated how much that was an influence, because everything I play now is like one big bass line.’ Remarkably, Grunwald was a budding blues aficionado by just 13. He credits Melbourne’s

outstanding community radio network as assisting his musical education. ‘I went through every blues subgenre before I got into Hendrix, Cream and psychedelic blues rock,’ he says. ‘As a teenager, I loved blues music and identified with Black American music.’ He became obsessed with 12-bar blues and the likes of Buddy Guy, Albert King and Muddy Waters. What helped frame his music going forward however was some jam sessions with a friend enamoured with electronic music. ‘Early on, I thought it would be a good thing to combine the two.’ Ash performs at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

I might have well as said ‘come out when I’m wearing blue shorts.’ Half an hour later my daughter emerges. She has written a song. It’s called: ‘It was an accident.’ She strums a few discordant notes and breaks into song: ‘When I cooked your food I put some poison in it, but it was an accident‌ when I ran you over in the street, it was an accident, when I put my foot out and tripped you and you hit your head it was an accident.’ Her remorseless rant went on.

You want a breakup song? Well that’s a lot more difficult for me.’ As social prophets of the apocalypse, they have now found themselves the prophets of love. See them this Friday at the Beach Hotel.

1. Meryl Streep is remarkably athletic in the white water thriller The River Wild (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm). 2. Tom Cruise is the stone cold killer in Collateral (TEN, Saturday, 8.30pm), and Jamie Foxx is the perfect foil as the unuspecting cab driver. The people you pick up! 3. Colin Morgan plays the eponymous wizard in BBC’s latest adaptation of Merlin (TEN, Sunday, 6.30pm), which takes several liberties with the Arthurian legend, itself grafted onto earlier Celtic tales, for the benefit of a younger generation not raised on classical myths – or history, for that matter. John Hurt picks up a bit of pin money playing the voice of the dragon.

State Of Play Della Frye (Rachel McAdams) is a cub reporter at the Washington Globe (with a name like that, what else could she be?). She churns out copy for the paper’s online edition and when first she meets burly old scoop Cal McAffrey (Russell Crowe) he dismisses her with ‘I’ll read a couple of blogs and then have an opinion’ – I was on-side immediately. Della is savvy, headstrong and green. Recalcitrant Cal knows the ropes, works all hours and drinks whisky neat from paper cups. They are thrown together by their boss (Helen Mirren), herself under pressure from new owners to adapt or perish in the digital market, when it becomes obvious that

the death of congressman Stephen Collins’s (Ben Affleck) pretty aide was no accident. Cal’s instincts and a chance encounter with a fifteen-year old junkie drag other murders into the net, revealing the involvement of a private security organisation and government corruption. As much as this engrossing film is about the mystery being prised open, it is unconditionally if nostalgically committed to championing the print media – newspapers in particular – and the tradition of investigative journalism, doffing its cap to Woodward and Bernstein when a shady company’s headquarters is traced to the Watergate building. It’s the sort of movie that can easily get too tricky for its own good (co-writer Tony Gilbert tied himself in knots with the smug Duplicity), but director Kevin Macdonald keeps a firm grip on the narrative, resists the temptation of sex between Cal and Della (it would have been laughable), and gets the

Let The Right One In Way back in 1929, in Un Chien Andalou, Luis Buùuel filled the screen with a razor slicing through an eyeball. Being scared at the movies can be fun, but compared with the disturbing psychological impact of such imagery it is the cheapest of thrills and one which Swedish director Tomas Alfredson does not pursue in this exceedingly strange and mesmerising vampire flick. Instead, with sedate pacing and intimate character development, he allows the viewer to float into the story before employing sudden contrasts of the calm with the creepy – a completely unexpected immolation, FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WED ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

evoking Dali at his most devilish, shocks in a way that Hollywood’s elaborate stunts and sophisticated CGI, so overused, hardly ever manage. The film also benefits enormously from Alfredson’s disinclination to employ even a hint of the self-parody that generally permeates this genre. The action takes place somewhere near Stockholm, in a snowbound, sunless estate of drab apartment blocks, and because the setting is so steadfastly normal the drama when it occurs is lifted into the realms of the surreal. Flaxen haired and friendless, twelve year-old Oskar lives with his single Mum and harbours a seething grudge against the school bully who is giving him grief. Eli, the same age, moves into the flat next door and strikes up a friendship with him. Looking more like a princess of Nineveh than Scandinavian, she reveals her true nature to Oskar and encourages him to overcome his fears and inhibitions. It should come as no surprise, given that the title is from a song by Morrissey, that male sexuality is subtly explored – the estranged father’s relationship with his drinking buddy is unclear, a man accuses his wife of being cold and unresponsive and that ‘you just don’t get it’ while he mourns inconsolably for his mate, and when Oskar sneaks a look at Eli as she changes from her bloodstained clothes into one of his mother’s dresses what he sees is more than disconcerting. That hordes of police aren’t scouring the neighbourhood to interview locals and look for clues to the spate of jugular attacks is odd, as is the editing glitch halfway through which has a street scene with not a snowflake to be seen when before and after there is whiteness all around. What captivates is the romance that flowers between Oskar and Eli, with KĂĽre Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson delivering beautiful performances as the kids. Unsettling, claustrophobic and enchanting, it leaves last year’s insipid Twilight for dead. I can’t get it out of my brain. ~ John Campbell

centre security officer. For years, these shoe-scuffing, teen-reprimanding heroes have gone unacknowledged. Seth Rogen stars as Ronnie Barnhardt, a security worker whose manic depression means he has little in the way of job security. His situation appears more tenuous still when Ray Liotta’s Detective Harrison is brought in to police matters in a rather more orthodox matter. Whatever his woes at work, our hero spies

a ray of light in the comely form of Anna Farris’ trainee beautician. Rogen remains a gloriously robust talent. Heck, he’s even able to ring laughs from such fundamentally unfunny topics as bipolar disorder and alcoholism. There’s a lot of laughs by the time this dysfunctional mall cop and a retired policeman team up to bring a flasher to justice. ~ Lounge Cinema

best out of a stellar cast – mild mannered Jason Bateman is a revelation as the sleazy PR guy. Nor can cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto’s contribution be underestimated – the frantic opening sequence is a killer – his visual style nailing the mood, especially in the nocturnal scenes (as it also did in 8 Mile). Della concludes that the story is one ‘people should get newsprint on their hands reading about’ (a sentiment that warmed the cockles of this hack’s heart), but the final twist – screenwriters seem obsessed these days with the eleventh hour ‘gotcha’ – is questionable. For mine it is uncalled for, to the extent that it very nearly undermines the credibility of a plot that is constructed with fiendish cunning and revealed with perfect timing. And, unusually, the entire audience at the session I attended sat transfixed through the end credits while the presses rolled and John Fogerty sang Long as I can see the light. Great stuff. ~ John Campbell

Frangipan, frangipani, frangipane – all spelled variously and having nothing whatsoever to do with the flower – are names given to eggs, butter, sugar, plain flour and almond meal, the lot whizzed together until it composes a fluffy cream. One of the most useful sweetmeats I ever learned to make, it is used as a pastry filling, generally studded with some type of fruit. Various explanations are given for its appellation, all to do with a 16th century Italian count, and none of which matter when you sink your teeth into the dense nutty moist confection it becomes once baked. Where would the sweet world be without almonds? In season now, they are actually botanically considered a stone fruit, closely related to cherries, plums, apricots and peaches – to be sure, if you were to split open the seed of a peach or an apricot you would see that the inside closely resembles a shelled almond. (Apricot kernels are often used as a substitute for bitter almonds in recipes for the Italian biscuit amaretti, almond macaroons distinguished by a subtle bitterness – ‘amaro’ meaning bitter.) Bitter almonds themselves contain cyanide which fortunately evaporates upon heating; the oil is valuable and is used to make the orange-almond liqueur also called Amaretti. Almonds are transformed into marzipan and nougat, torrone and Greek Kourambiethes, French financiers, biscotti di Prato and flourless orange cake. They make dreams come true for glutenintolerants and coeliacs. They enrich and deepen textures of sauces. Raw food proponents, lactose-intolerants and vegans love their ability to be processed

into a dairy-free milk. They are a rich sauce of protein, Vitamin E, monosaturated (or ‘good’) fat responsible for lowering cholesterol; they are said to aid in the prevention of cancer, and to contain anti-inflammatory, immunity-boosting and anti-hepatotoxicity properties. In Ayurveda, an ancient system of health care native to the Indian sub-continent, they are considered a nutritive for the brain and nervous system – said, furthermore, to induce a high intellectual level and longevity. Crack open those almonds now! Which naturally leads me to the fact that, as with all nuts where possible, the most nutritious way to eat them is to buy them in their shells (and at this time of the year it is possible from greengrocers and farmers’ markets), crack them and there you have them in their pure and glorious freshness. Except that I doubt there are many of us who have the time, especially when faced with a sudden urge to eat a home-made friand eggy and fragrant just out of the oven. However, when it comes to ground almonds, or almond meal as it is often referred to, it really is worth that little extra effort and time in grinding whole almonds yourself in a food processor. As an inexpensive nibble to serve with drinks I like to roast almond kernels in a moderate oven with oil (vegetable or olive) and spices such as smoked paprika, or cumin, or dried chilli. The commercial roasting process of nuts is a form of deepfrying, usually in saturated fat such as coconut oil – so it’s also much healthier to do it yourself, even without spices and oil.

STARS WITH LILITH

With Mercury on the move, the machinery of the universe gets into forward gear again and in this week’s empire of the sensible, practicality takes precedence over more exciting, out there ideas

ARIES: With your planetary ruler Mars in Taurus this is a peak week for repair work on your house, car and physical vehicle, or for making relationship adjustments. Yes, you’ll have to stick at things till they’re finished, but the results will be highly satisfying.

communications are improving, misunderstandings clarifying, complications unraveling and the present star scenario contributing so much astral fortitude, grit, grunt and staying power for resolving what you thought were deadlocks.

TAURUS: A Mars/Venus conjunction in Taurus rockets relationships to the head of this month’s agenda – but in a good way. And Mercury moving forward again in your sign has people listening to you – so buying, selling and earning all get the green light this week.

LEO: With teamwork this month’s theme, socializing’s likely to provide much better opportunities than slogging it out solo. But right now you do need to choose strong partners who can support and assist you rather than surrounding yourself with high maintenance people who need help.

GEMINI: The Sun in your house of drive and ruler Mercury in the sign of tenacity give you focus and follow through this week. Avoid arguing or pushing too hard though – getting ahead depends on getting along. You’re in the mood for a new winter look? It’s time… CANCER: Angsting over temporary setbacks is a dreadful energy drain, so don’t go there – not when personal

VIRGO: Your ruler Mercury in an earth sign plus Saturn’s wind beneath your wings make this a progressive week for Virgos. Your service skills and attention to detail work well in this climate, so don’t be shy about promoting yourself to someone who could be a valuable mentor. LIBRA: June favors partnerships and long range plans, and this week provides information

you can put to immediate use. Right now your presentation’s impressive, your ideas cook, and the key to success is working with things the way they are rather than how you think they should be. SCORPIO: This week’s about communicating: do it or you’re not likely to get what you want. The whole month of June will call on all your resources – financial, physical, mental and emotional – so best decide what drains them, what supports them and how to make best use of them. SAGITTARIUS: The harder you push this week’s people, the more resistance you’ll come up against. But playing down your natural Sagittarian straightforwardness in favour of a more lateral approach (listening, empathizing, offering low key suggestions) is more likely to get the cooperation you want. CAPRICORN: If people aren’t taking you seriously this week, you’re strongly advised to join them by doing whatever

Power and passion win the day for Devils

Byron workhorse Rocky Rogers hits the deck at Red Devil Park on Sunday. Photo Jeff ‘Groin Strain’ Dawson John Campbell

Sunday’s return bout between last season’s grand finalists was a nerve-racking encounter that encouraged no early departures among the committed crew who turned up to witness it. In the end, Byron Bay prevailed with a labour intensive but stirring 20-16 victory over the Grafton Ghosts, going to the top of the NRRRL ladder in the process. The Red Devils were in no way conclusively better – an entirely unbiased observer might even suggest that fickle fortune smiled on them – but the Ghosts can’t deny that, when the prize was there for them, they were not up to grabbing it.

In the opening set, Grafton went through the Bay’s right side defence like a knife through butter, only for their raid to self-destruct with the try beckoning. Time and again they had Byron scrambling to keep them out as their bigger backs threatened to run amok, but they could not land the killer blow. It was the story of the day for them. Against the run of play, the Devils went ahead when captain Eli Colby barged over from dummy half for the first of his two tries and they took it to 12-0 when rangy prop Dallas Hood put his head down and repeated the dose soon after.

ingly easy try from a scrum win in front of the clubhouse, cranking up the tension factor and giving the Edgar Britts to everybody bar those visitors on the eastern side of the ground. The full-time siren looked a

long way off when the Ghosts locked it up at 12-all and then were called back after an eighty-metre runaway that might have sunk the premiers. But from the restart, quickthinking half Tobin Cupples earned a repeat set for the Bay and Colby capitalised with his second four-pointer. The comp’s frontrunners went at it hammer and tong and it was the Bay’s pack that prevailed, with Josh ‘Rocky’ Rogers and Mick Lambert tireless in their charges into the Ghosts’ defence. Like a dog with a bone, the Devils would not relinquish their lead and, with ten to go, they were awarded a penalty. Fifteen in and twenty out, they opted for the shot at goal and an eight-point buffer. Duane Cahill’s kick, as smooth as his hairless head, sailed over the black dot and the Devils were as good as home. Elsewhere, Mullumbimby disposed of Ballina to the tune of 26-10.

I live in Byron

Given that most of our roads are now a series of springs held vaguely apart by patches of bitumen, we’ve decided to abandon our pothole competition as we’re sure council workers have enough to be going on with after the storms. Special mention must be made, however, of Lee Lambert’s valueadding to photographs of potholes in Byron Bay, as seen in Backlash of May 5.

of an unusual cat burglar, who left his fingerprints behind up Wilsons Creek way. Apparently he climbed through a small window at one house, took off his shoes, stole a few minor things, closed the door behind him, and turned off the gas bottles. Then he walked 400m to the neighbours, made a mess there, and left his shoes behind, which are now in police custody.

In an attempt to seem relevant, the NSW Department of Planning has released a ‘strategy update report’ on its regional strategies, with a nice picture of the Minister and a waffly, feelgood intro by same. The bumf for the north coast strategy reveals nothing much new – apparently the Byron LGA population is about 31,500 with our annual growth rate at 1.2%, below the regional average of 1.56%. Tweed is powering ahead at 2.2%. No mention of the Minister foisting Woolies and West Byron rezonings upon us as part of ‘balancing the demands of a growing population with the need to protect our environmental assets’.

Amalgamated Pest Control has sent out one of those generic quirky media releases in the hope of getting attention, and in this case it has succeeded. It quotes Byron Bay branch manager Tom Busby on ten pest myths, three of which took our fancy: 1. Mice love cheese. Mice will eat cheese, but do not find it any more appealing than a majority of other foods. 2. Cats are great deterrents of rodents. Most pets are too well fed to need rodents as a food source. 5. People will swallow around 30 spiders while sleeping in the course of their lifetime. This widely circulated myth has absolutely no basis. In fact, the chances of someone swallowing even one ■ ■ ■ ■ spider during their lifetime is We hear police are on the trail extremely remote.
