Govt takes over Parklands plan Farewell to Terrie Wells, Michael McDonald

The NSW government is taking over approval or otherwise of plans for a festival venue on 256 hectares at Yelgun and Wooyung. The owners of the controversial North Byron Shire Parklands site took their proposal to the government after a knockback in the Land and Environment Court following a challenge by Conservation of North Ocean Shores (CONOS) to Byron Shire Council’s approval of a ‘trial’ of the Splendour festival at the site. The government is able to determine the proposal under Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, which allows the planning minister or her staff to judge which proposals are ‘major’ or of special significance. Commenting on the move in a press release, Parklands general manager Mat Morris said, ’We still have

ongoing involvement with the planning department at Byron Council. We will be lodging local DAs to further improve the habitat values of the land and we wish to finalise the subdivision to allow us to dedicate land free of cost to the National Parks and Wildlife Service as an addition to the Nature Reserve. ‘The local community does not lose the right to have input into the processing of our application. The application will be placed on public exhibition and any person can make submissions in the same way that they would with Byron Shire Council. ‘We are confident that we can develop an asset the community will be proud of. One which incorporates cutting edge conservation and sustainability practices and which will provide substantial local employment opportunities.’ In response to the news CONOS

president Bob Oehlman said, ‘The proposal to establish a permanent event site in Byron’s most easterly wildlife corridor is absurd and totally disregards the 20 years of dedication and hard work the community has spent in having the environmental values of this site protected. It also contradicts the position undertaken by the NSW Labor government which has invested millions of dollars and a vast amount of resources in protecting the area and adjoining Reserve land. ‘Two separate Commissions of Inquiry have acknowledged the high conservation and wildlife corridor values and recommended protection. The recent Land & Environment Court judgment also found Byron Council’s consent for a “trial” Splendour in the Grass festival to be “invalid and of no effect” as the proposed

BayFM community radio broadcaster Terrie Wells has been missed by many in the community following her sudden death on Monday July 20. Ms Wells was hospitalised after collapsing in her home and died at Tweed Hospital on July 20, never having regained consciousness. According to BayFM, ‘Terrie (onair name Red Terra) had been presenting her informative and much loved program “The Shakedown” on BayFM for almost two decades. Her lively and hard hitting program kept listeners in the picture about local and national environmental issues. ‘Over the years she interviewed many big names of the environmental movement including David Suzuki, Peter Garrett, Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd, Michael Franti, and Helena Norbert-Hodge. ‘Terrie was a founding member of BayFM. She was involved in the first test broadcasts in 1990 and was on air continually since then, except for a break when her son Jarrah was born. ‘BayFM extends its deepest sym-

pathies to her son Jarrah, her mum Ruth Wells and the Wells family. The family would like to invite all friends and community members to attend a celebration of her life to be held on Thursday July 30 at 1pm in the theatre of the Byron Community and Cultural Centre.’ Green & Clean dunecare spokesman Veda Turner told The Echo, ‘Local dunecare volunteers have lost a dear friend and supporter. Terrie made a regular spot available to Green & Clean dunecare coordinators to promote regeneration of Byron Bay’s dunes and to discuss local issues. We miss Terrie’s energetic support, and trust that the empty space she has left will soon find a new voice for the environment and social justice. We love you, Terrie.’ Terrie Wells is quoted on the BayFm website as saying, ‘We live in times of giant emergency and those of us alive today have a huge responsibility: to learn to live today, so that those who come after us can have a tomorrow.’ ■ Tributes, page 12

development was prohibited in the 7(K) Habitat Zone under the Byron Local Environment Plan. ‘Given that the current zonings were recommended and gazetted by the NSW government to prevent any inappropriate development, it appears that Splendour in the Grass took a gamble when purchasing the North Byron Shire Parklands property. Fauna species are dependent on corridors such as these for their survival, and simply will not coexist with thousands of revellers.

‘The community is united and will continue to vigorously oppose this development.’ The effect of Part 3A is canvassed in an online article by Ian Ratcliff, Jessica Wood and Sue Higginson of the Environmental defenders Office NSW. They comment: ‘Increasingly, however, the NSW Government is moving away from the recognition that local communities have relevant expertise and interests in planning outcomes; that decision makers sometimes get it wrong; and that preservation of the environment sometimes outweighs

the importance of economic growth. The introduction of Part 3A by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment (Infrastructure and Other Planning Reform) Act 2005 reflects the philosophy that “Government knows best” and the idea that planning decisions are technical matters that do not gain from substantial community involvement. ‘In effect, Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979… dramatically reduces the involvement of the community in the original decision-making process and seeks to reduce any risk of concerned individuals or groups delaying or preventing significant development, by limiting the grounds on which, or the circumstances in which, they can seek merits or judicial review. ‘Instead, the Minister for Planning and Director General, Department of Planning maintain the power to make all key decisions regarding significant development, with advice from “expert panels”, limited input from other key agencies and little opportunity for effective criticism where the bureaucracy “gets it wrong”.’ (See www.edo.org.au/ edonsw/site/part3a_article. php.)

Federal Minister for Ageing and Richmond MP Justine Elliot has announced a $43.8 million package designed to train up more than 8,000 aged and community care staff. Minister Elliot made the announcement at the Ballina TAFE, which will receive more than $191,000 under this funding round. Training organisations such as TAFE NSW in the electorates of Page and Richmond will receive more

than $850,000 to train more than 150 local workers. ‘Australians now have the longest life expectancy in the English speaking world – and we are responding to the challenges of our nation’s ageing population,’ Ms Elliot said. The programs in the $43.8 million education and training package are: t $PNNVOJUZ "HFE $BSF Workforce Development – which will equip more than

3,000 personal care workers with the skills and knowledge for home-based care of frail aged people with complex care needs; and t #FUUFS 4LJMMT GPS #FUUFS $BSF – which will support more than 5,000 personal care workers in aged care homes in gaining certificate-level qualifications – such as enrolled nursing.

Rebirth of butter factory

Burning Season returns to Bay Orangutans are at risk of extinction. Their rainforest homes are being destroyed at an alarming rate by illegal logging, clearing and burning by impoverished Indonesians trying to make a living. This weekend Rainforest Rescue is hosting a special film screening which documents a possible alternative, known as Avoided Deforestation.

The Burning Season previews at the Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas this Thursday July 30, followed by a special screening on Saturday August 1 at 4pm. Saturday evening will include a Q&A session with the filmmaking team including local creator Cathy Henkel, as well as an after party where Rainforest Rescue will be sharing information on their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Orangutan

Adventure Trekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a chance to witness first hand what is happening while also contributing to their Orangutan Habitat for Survival Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Those wishing to attend both the screening and after party will need to keep their movie ticket for entry to The Global CafĂŠ, directly opposite the cinema. For more information, contact 6684 4360.

While empty shopfronts and For Lease signs stud the facade of the Byron cinema complex several blocks away, an exclusive new development is about to go on sale. The Butter Factory in Jonson Street, started in 1895, has been reborn, rebuilt and recreated into sleek and stylish warehouse-style apartments. Developer Adrian Corsello â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who chanced upon the site six years ago when he was up from Melbourne on holiday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; told The Echo that it was a chance â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;to bring a bit of history back

to life.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Melbourne-based architectural firm V-Arc, specialists in warehouse-style architecture, were responsible for transforming the lofty historic structure into ten multi-level apartments and four singlelevel ones. Many of the original features of the factory have been retained â&#x20AC;&#x201C; loft areas, steelwork braces, trusses, hatch doors and 900 metre-thick walls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the old industrial feel has been tastefully combined with sleek new designs and materials. The slatted timber entrance is a replication of the original cooling towers; a vast central

courtyard constitutes a communal area for tenants and features wooden tables shielded by sail-cloth, a barbecue, sink and fridge. Within the apartments there are spiral staircases and marble bench-tops, balconies, terraces and water-features, spa baths and mesh hand-rails, white walls, Italian tiles and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;caviarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; glass beads on the bathroom wallpaper. Adrian thinks the apartments will be more owneroccupied than rental, and the grand opening takes place on Saturday August 1 and Sunday August 2 from 1pm.

Ex Byron GM on planning panel Former Byron Shire general manager Pamela Westing is one of the State-appointed members for the Northern Region of the controversial new Joint Regional Planning Panels (JRPPs). So far Byron Shire Council has declined to cooperate with NSW planning minister Kristina Keneallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initiative, with Councillors voting in June to not nominate representatives to the panel and to advise the Minister the panels are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;an unwarranted usurpation of Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning powersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The other two state-appointed members are Garry West (Chair) and John Griffin, with Bruce Clarke as an alternate. Ms Keneally said in a press release that the 23 state-appointed members have expertise across a range of fields, which will help them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;make rigorous decisions on projects important to regional areasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The successful state nominees have an extensive range of experience and qualifications in areas such as town planning, management, architecture and law,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ms Keneally said. The 23 people were selected from more than 300 people who put their names forward. The new panels are expected to start making decisions â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;from as early as next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, according to Ms Keneally. www.echo.net.au

The panels will determine development applications worth more than $10 million, or $5 million for community infrastructure or projects where council is the applicant. Local government peak bodies are not so keen on the Ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new panels. President of the Local Government Association Cr Genia McCaffery said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The state government seems keen to seize control of development decisions with very little consideration of council or community views. There is something quite Orwellian about this entire process.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cr Bruce Miller, President of the Shires Association, said that the panels are an unnecessary duplication of bureaucracy and will not, as claimed, de-politicise the process. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The panels are taking a role that is currently handled, generally very well, by NSW councils. At a time when finances are tight at all levels, they are introducing another layer of bureaucracy and NSW residents will have to foot the bill. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Minister assumes her appointed members will be less susceptible to outside pressures than councillors, but in reality the only difference is that they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be accountable to the local community. In fact, it seems the only person they will be

politically accountable to is the Minister. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The JRPPs cast a very wide net for supposedly regionally significant developments. All of a sudden extensions to our local libraries, aged care facilities or a basic two-storey building in a town centre are considered regionally significant.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Winner of the Sundance Film Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best International Documentary Feature Film Burma VJ â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Behind The Veil is having premiere screenings at two sessions only on the far north coast. Introducing the film will be Alan Clements, former Buddhist monk, human rights activist, journalist, writer and revolutionary satirist. It is the extraordinary result of smuggled video footage of the Buddhist monk-led prodemocracy marches in Burma from 2007. Armed with pocket-sized video cameras a group of Burmese reporters filmed the events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the VJ stands for Video Journalists â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of them being caught in the process and later being tortured or killed. Speaking to The Echo Alan said that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being witness to revolution as it happened... you get to see behind the veil.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This is, he went on, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;about the anatomy of freedom...[it] touches that visceral inspiration in people to participate in the elevation of freedom in a non-denominational, nonsectarian, non-national and non-local sense...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; At the heart of the film is Aung San Suu Kyi, imprisoned Nobel Peace laureate and elected leader of her countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

ongoing non-violent struggle for freedom. In 1996 Alan spent six months interviewing her in transcripts of conversations which eventually became

the widely translated book The Voice of Hope. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aung San Suu Kyi is the epicentre of this film, the heart and soul of this crisis,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said

Alan. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;She has a heart that is immeasurably removed from blame...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrative reveals why she says that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the only real prison is fear and the only real freedom is freedom from fearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and shows the importance of truth even at the cost of imprisonment, torture or death. Alan explained that it will awaken awareness of global human rights in the same way that Al Goreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s An Inconvenient Truth awakened awareness of global warming; it illustrates, furthermore, the power of the media. Screenings of Burma VJ â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Behind The Veil will be held on Friday July 31 at 7.30pm at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre in Byron Bay (tickets at www.byroncentre. com.au/index.cfm?p=2288) and on Saturday August 1 at 7.30pm at the Starcourt Theatre in Lismore (tickets at www. norpa.org.a/page/Venues). The evenings are benefits for the non-profit human rights organisation â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Burma Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and will include both the introduction by Alan Clements before the screening and a talkback at the end with Q & A. And despite the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;deeply moving and troubling (elements) at the most visceral levelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; within the film, Alan is confident that when it is over â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you will care for something largerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Filmmaker Darius Devas, hatted, works on location on Further We Search.

Filmmaker Darius Devas is returning from Melbourne to present the world premiere of his debut feature film Further We Search in Byron Bay. The film will be screened on August 5 at the Byron Community Centre in partnership with the Byron Bay Film Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Darius won the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural Best Young Australian Filmmaker award in 2006,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said BBFF director Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aimee SkipponVolke. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Darius is a director who takes risks in order to achieve his creative vision and he actively seeks to evolve significantly with each film which, in my opinion, makes him a film-

maker to watch.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Darius wrote, directed and produced Further We Search on a budget of only $8,000. It tells the story of a young man who journeys to inner city Melbourne in search of meaning and connection. As a teen at Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School Dariusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary interest was drama where he first discovered improvisation which led directly to the style in which this film was created. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I decided to write a script that would allow the actors to connect with the voices of their character,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Darius. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We workshopped and

improvised scenes in rehearsals and so in essence the script was dialogue free.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I chose Byron as the venue for this world premiere as although I felt I needed to move to Melbourne for my film and a new life, Byron has just been such a big support network to me in nurturing my filmmaking skills.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Further We Search will screen with the world premiere of Sarah Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 35mm short film Tea. Entries for the Byron Bay Film Festival in March 2010 close on October 31. For more information visit www. bbff.com.au. www.echo.net.au

personal: Rudd is trading on his greatest political asset, his perceived sincerity. Asked to explain Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extraordinarily persistent high approval ratings, one writer to the Sydney Morning Herald this year summed it up in a single word: Integrity. The opposition may seek to portray Rudd as a political weathercock, all spin but no substance, but that is not how the

structure renewal, innovation, skills training and tax reform should be able to greatly increase productivity in a relatively short time. In the longer term the issues of adjusting to an ageing population and of course climate change will be paramount. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy, but the hope is that future generations will look back thankfully on what they see as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the building decadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. As al-

A large majority believe that their Prime Minister is both principled and honest (and a welcome contrast with the last one). The fact that he is prepared to bring them bad news as well as good will only redound to his electoral credit. And it should be said that Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of the future is not all doom and gloom. Those who managed to plough through two closelypacked pages of broadsheet at the weekend will have found a wide-ranging, if not yet detailed, manifesto for what he obviously expects will be at least a second term of government. Rudd envisages a significant rebalancing of the global economy under the aegis of the G20, which he has already made clear is his preferred forum for all important international deliberations. Australia will start from a better position than most, and through an intensive program of competition policy, infra-

ready mentioned, the essay is short on detail, which is hardly surprising; at 6,100 words it covers a lot of ground. But it certainly sets the parameters for a strong and challenging election platform. And Malcolm Turnbullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response? Well, there is nothing in there for small business. And indeed there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t; nor is there anything for the Sydney restaurant scene or the Bondi Pavilion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least not directly. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that sort of document. Rudd is talking broad strategy. Turnbull, as so often, is indulging in tactical nitpicking. And by doing so, he is in danger of making himself incidental to the political agenda. Last week Turnbull very nearly hit rock bottom: he made Wilson Tuckey relevant. Tuckey is quite simply a silly old bugger; he was a silly old bugger when he arrived in Canberra 29 years ago at the age of 45, bearing a conviction for assaulting an Aborigi-

nal and a collection of Aboriginal jokes (Sample: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why do they call them boongs? Because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the noise they make when they bounce off the roo bar.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;) No one has ever taken him seriously, for all his attempts to play powerbroker and elder statesman. But last week, when he described Turnbull as arrogant and inexperienced, it was front page news, because he was seen as articulating a view increasingly held within the coalition. Sometimes it is only the clown who dares to speak the truth. Turnbullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of the climate change issue, confused as it is, has not been impressive; last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compromise has achieved nothing and fooled no one. If he is seen to be losing it in wider areas of political debate, especially the economic ones which are his chosen ground on which to fight the next election, surely his leadership will become untenable even in a party as bereft of talent as the Liberals. There are no contenders at present, so someone may have to be conscripted; and amazingly, Tony Abbott has re-emerged as a credible candidate. His book, from the extracts I have seen, appears to be a serious attempt to drag his party into something approaching modernity and his warning to his pig-headed colleagues that they are on a hiding to nothing if they allow Rudd to call a double dissolution over climate change was a moment of sanity in an increasingly irrational coalition brawl. Truly, the Libs have problems. When the Mad Monk becomes the voice of reason and moderation, the party must be right off the planet.

DECC replies to its critics I’d like to clarify a number of issues raised in the article ‘Environment council breaks DECC stalling’ (Echo, July 14). Earlier this month, the Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) released information about 17 North Coast Property Vegetation Plans (PVPs) to the North Coast Environmental Council. This followed extended negotiations between the private landholders and the North Coast Environmental Council. The landholders involved consistently asked DECC not to release the information about their properties. DECC always tries to find a balance between protection of private information and the

public disclosure of information. A PVP public register has always been available on the DECC website and contains information about PVPs. The PNF Code of Practice applies to all approved PNF logging operations. The Code protects all areas of rainforest and old growth forests by explicitly prohibiting forestry operations from these areas. The Code also has built in requirements to protect threatened species and communities. For example where the powerful owl is known to nest or roost, forestry operations are excluded and the habitat of their prey is provided greater protection in the vicinity. This makes the NSW Code

and used in Brisbane hospitals for the treatment of venous and diabetic leg ulcers and burns. It has also been used for the prevention of catheter-associated infections in hemodialysis patients. Some nursing homes around the country are also using it for pressure sores and ulcers. For more info on honey research visit http://bio.waikato. ac.nz/honey/.

In reply to Mike Beckett (Letters, July 21): being both Kiwis my partner and I frequently travel across the ditch visiting family. Last Christmas in New Zealand, we were out shopping, and over goes my mother-inlaw, resulting in a nasty injury over her shin bone, with a large flap of peeled skin just hanging on and blood everywhere. Around to the local surgery we go and the doctor takes a look. ‘We need to put a dressing on that,’ he says. The nurse arrives with a tube of Manuka woundcare 18+. Hmmm, I’m impressed. I say ‘Do you use this honey a lot on wounds?’ ‘Yes,’ says the nurse, ‘it’s common practice around here.’ New Zealand leads the world with Manuka research with Australia following on over the last ten years with Jellybush research. All praise must go to Prof Peter Molan and his team from the Honey Research Unit, Waikato University, who, for over 25 years, has tirelessly promoted the use of Active Manuka honey in New Zealand and collaborated with many overseas researchers, delving into the amazing wound healing properties of Leptospermum honey. Without Prof Molan’s efforts Manuka bandages would not now be approved by the FDA in America or registered on the NHS in the UK. Some people have been lucky to have limbs saved by using Manuka honey when all else failed to control infection. Closer to home we have Jellybush honey being trialled

It is quite interesting going to Manfred Street at high tide just to see the situation. ‘The threat of catastrophic climate change is not an academic concern for the future.

one of the leading approaches for private forestry in Australia and around the world. In addition, DECC is very serious about compliance with native vegetation laws and is committed to enforcing the requirements of the Code through auditing and other compliance activities. For example, following one of the audits the Department has undertaken across the state, an operation at Coramba was issued with $8,800 in fines for breaches of the Code of Practice.

Tributes to Terrie Wells, Earth champion would come out on the balconies from every type of accommodation to see what she was yelling about. And sure enough an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;off trackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; whale would be heading towards Main Beach instead of the open sea. It was as if they came to say hello to the closest human neighbourhood on their way. That was the start of my understanding of her love for those majestic animals. One day she said to me she was going to a meeting that night to see if we can start a community radio station in the shire and did I want to come. I was very interested but could not attend because I was a mother with two boys still at home. But I asked her to tell me all about it. The next day she told me how there was a possibility of having a radio here in the shire and calling it Bay FM. The next meeting was to be at her house so no excuse for me not to go. Well, what can I say? We were both hooked and we both continued to attend meetings, fundraise and lobby the powers that be for a licence. She also dragged me to an introduction to radio course that was given at TAFE in Lismore. We graduated with flying colours and the rest is history. If it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for Terrie I would have never found my true calling in life. Getting Bay FM off the ground gave me a direction in life that has since rewarded me profoundly. After

11 years volunteering at Bay FM and a BA in Media Communications at the ripe age of 52, I went off to WA to manage an indigenous radio station for four years. Then worked as the admin officer of the National Ethnic & Multi Cultural Broadcasters Council recently in Melbourne. Terri stayed her in the shire and produced the best environmental program Bay FM has ever had. Her enthusiasm and warrior-like energy for our environment became legendary. I thank her for initiating my career in community broadcasting, her friendship which never wavered with me, her contribution to the insemination of important information that made many people more aware of our natural world and want to do something about saving it.

Main Arm DAs It is unfortunate that the community was not consulted in 1998 when Council somehow selected Main Arm for a potential of 135 houses under the

Byron Rural Settlement Strategy (BRSS). Residents could have told Council that Main Arm fails most of the BRSS selection guidelines meant to protect the environment and the community from inappropriate development. It is also unfortunate that, at the rezoning stage, Council largely ignored many of the serious concerns raised by the community in over 300 objections, and Councillors voted 8-2 to approve the rezoning, which would allow this unwanted development to be

Kicked in the guts In response to John Campbell’s review of Samson and Delilah last week, I am horrified. I usually agree with John or at least respect his views but not this time. Certainly watching the film is an ordeal, really hard going but that’s because it’s so realistic and confronting. John must have heard the director talking about his work and anyway would know enough to recognise its authenticity; yes it’s slow and more than ‘dismal’ but the story it tells I think everyone should know and I reject his criticism of those of us who applaud the film as ‘white Uncle Toms’! Perhaps John has been exposed to too many Harry Potters, Brunos or other entertainments in recent times and his powers of appreciation have suffered.

imposed on the community. The Davis and ReGenesis DAs for 46 houses and a commercial centre, now being assessed by Council, confirm all of the serious problems raised earlier by the community – that the land is too constrained, two steep, and too near the Brunswick River, that only a few of the proposed lots can meet Council’s official health guidelines for the onsite wastewater systems. Most of the green proposals, road upgrades, and community benefits promised at the rezoning stage are gone. It appears that Council staff is now taking the community’s concerns, raised in 258 objections to these DAs, much more seriously. The big question is, will Council staff recommend rejecting these DAs in their present form because they break so many BRSS and Council guidelines? And will Councillors realise they were greenwashed, that the DAs are not the same as what was proposed at the rezoning, and vote against the DAs, support the community, and protect the environment? If they do, it would show that the community consultation process is still alive and well in Byron Shire. Guy Fisher

A town common I was one of the 2,000 odd people at the recent Byron v Gold Coast football (soccer) game at the rec grounds and was blown away by the support. It also further convinced me that some of the money being spent on the new sports grounds out at Ewingsdale should be redirected toward the improvement of these grounds. With a proper and comprehensive drainage system it could be used all year round, and if the area between the grounds and the YAC and Main Beach were cleaned up and multiple accesses created www.echo.net.au

I think this is an extraordinarily moving work and has value well beyond the immediate; I’d recommend its inclusion in the Australian stream of the new National History Syllabus for Secondary Schools which I hope will eventuate. Jenny Coman

Bangalow I totally disagree with John Campbell’s critique. Samson and Delilah is not a pretty film. It is a painful reconstruction of life on a remote community for two young indigenous Australians, and their subsequent time spent in Alice Springs. It is indeed dismal. In fact the boredom, utter futility and despair are palpable. In capturing this the director demonstrates incredible skill. The two young actors also ■

it could provide a great link to town, the new library etc and truly become a great town common. It’s in the middle of town so all the kids can walk or ride their bikes there from school and/or home, rather than be driven, hitch or rely on a parlous public transport system, which they will have to do, to the new grounds. I ponder, would 2,000 people travel out to Ewingsdale if the opportunity arose again, given they will have to drive and can’t walk to the beach or into town between events? Not to mention the extra cars weeknight training and game day weekends will create. Let’s fix what we have before spending money elsewhere, please, just this once, and for mine, a much better all round result. And again I ask, what is happening with the sports grounds promised to the north of the shire? John McKay

Rally madness Your northern neighbours need you! With only four weeks to go until the Repco Rally the time for corresponding with every level of government is over and the time for action is here. We had hoped to stop this insane event trashing our region, but if push comes to shove we will need large numbers of people to assist us make our protest felt internationally. I am asking the people of Byron, Ballina and Richmond shires to stand with us and be counted on September 3-6. If you need any inspiration to get moving on this one then I suggest you read the NSW Motor Sports (World Rally Championship) Bill 2009, as it subverts no less than 12 previous Acts. Are you aware that the Bill includes the clause that any area of NSW may be a declared rally area? Nowhere in NSW is safe from this madness! Find

capture the mood brilliantly and the characters they depict are painfully and at times beautifully accurate. I repeat – it is not a pretty film. It is hard to watch and even harder to experience. I came out feeling as though I’d been kicked in the guts. But it is arguably a film that has the capacity to change your life. And underlying it all is one of the most moving and desperate love stories ever told on film. It is not a film for everyone. It is too late for sympathy. Self flagellation is not required. But I urge those who like to be shifted out of their complacency every now and again to take the opportunity to be shocked, moved and challenged.

out more from the background briefing on the No Rally Group website http://sites.google. com/site/norallygroup/. What I find even more outrageous than the actual car races is the complete subversion of due process which has occurred here, auspiced by the NSW government which funded this event last year, months before the residents of the Tweed and Kyogle shires even heard that this anachronism was being proposed. There was never a ‘Plan B’ should the DA not be approved. With one hand NSW State funds are spent on helping us all to reduce our collective carbon footprint while with the other our public money is spent on a fossil fuel fest. North Coast Area Health had an $8 million funding shortfall last year and the State has elected to promote an event which will lead to an increase in motor vehicle accidents, at the same time as directing funds to the ‘little pinkie’ anti-speeding campaign. Am I missing something here or have our State representatives completely lost the plot? If not, then they must be held to account for negligence! On September 3-6 people in the Tweed and Kyogle shires will stand up and be counted, and we’re inviting you to join us – there’s only four weeks to go, folks!

Comment

World car rally: what’s all the fuss about next door? Judy Oakenfull

The Tweed and Kyogle regions share Byron’s reputation as a natural paradise. People live in and visit the area, for its World Heritage listed National Parks, unspoilt rivers and beachs, stunning hiking trails, and friendly, creative and vibrant communities. The local economy has been built on these features, and as in the Byron region many here are living the low carbon, sustainable lifestyles of the future, in harmony with nature and each other. Ecotourism is flourishing with help from the federal government. The Environment Minister Peter Garrett was up here last year promoting the region as Australia’s Green Cauldron, highlighting its ‘distinctive natural and cultural experiences’ with ‘immense environmental biodiversity’ and ‘special meaning for Indigenous communities’. The iconic centre and symbol for the area is the highly photogenic Mt Warning. The worrying question many people are now asking is: ‘Could this same Mt Warning soon become the next Mt Panorama?’ With National Parks, rainforest roads and towns soon to be transformed into racetracks, dreams of peaceful and sustainable lifestyles are under threat.

Crash test dummies For those unfamiliar with it, a World Rally Championship is the kind of event where cars travel mainly airborne and sideways around dirt roads. The rally has been advertised with slogans like: ‘Find out just how high a world rally car can jump!’ and ‘Eat the dust, hear the stones fly… as the car dances through the bends at 160 km/h and on the razor’s edge of control’. Part of the appeal of the event is in the crashes. Since 1974 nineteen drivers and copilots have lost their lives in the World Rally series, as have countless others in different rally events. There is also a risk to the lives of spectators during the event, and other road users afterwards as young drivers try to emulate their heros. To most people the idea of holding an event like this in an area with such special qualities is incongruous to say the least. A federal government website lists the region as one of Australia’s biodiversity hotspots and declares the area, ‘the most biologically diverse area in New South Wales and southern Queensland’. One can only wonder at the logic behind the selection of this unique area. Some people have described it as akin to holding a rugby match in a museum. The environmental impact

of the event looks like being significant. Many of the rally routes are very close to the World Heritage listed CERRA rainforests, and traverse connecting state forests and national parks. Most of Repco Rally’s racing routes are through core koala habitat. Frogs are considered key indicators of a region’s health, and many of our most endangered frogs live in the pristine rainforest creeks alongside the Rally’s routes. The idea of even one car landing in a creek is intolerable to locals. Many feel the death of even one koala or endangered animal is also too high a price to pay in return for the thrills of a wealthy international motor sport elite. Biodiversity is essential to our own survival.

Vehicle strike The environmental report commissioned by Repco RallyAustralia (RRA) only addresses the risk of vehicle strike from Rally cars themselves, but there are other factors which threaten endangered fauna and flora.. There is also the risk of vehicle strike from spectators’ cars, support vehicles, official and unofficial reconnaissance runs and copycat drivers. Copycat drivers and/or unofficial reconnaissance are widely reported to have been occurring in the region since June, which is three months before the event even begins. These people tend to operate at night meaning a much greater risk of vehicle strike for endangered animals as many of them are nocturnal. RRA has plans to ‘ameliorate’ the effects of the rally. These include three low flying helicopters ‘scaring off ’ the animals before the cars come through. They require many volunteers tramping through sensitive bush blowing bird

publicly denied this. The latest news is that whilst claiming they will implement all the recommendations in the environmental impact report, they have not done this. Author of this report, Dr Steve Phillips, recommended they submit the report to the federal environment minister Peter Garrett, but they have not. Locals are still struggling to find out the exact nature of the route and many in Murwillumbah are only just waking up to the fact that their central business district will be a high speed three car racing pursuit track at night. What is more surprising here, is the lengths that local and state governments have gone to in facilitating this behaviour and removing the protective legal requirements that are placed on other developers and event organisers.

Conflict of interest The Tweed Shire Council has a long history of being ‘too close’ to developers and big business and it has been sacked twice for these reasons. In this current ‘familiar’ example, the General Manager of the council has been in secret negotiations with Rally organisers for at least two years. This same GM is also on the board of Repco Rally Australia, and the council are providing this company with free office space. They have also been given $120,000 of ratepayers’ funds. The mayor has asked the General Manager to resign from the Repco Rally Board, but he has refused. But it was in Sydney, more than 800 kms from the region, that the serious ‘backroom’ But it was in Sydney, more than 800km deals were done. Events NSW, a from the region, that the serious ‘backroom’ ‘private’ company set up by the NSW government, has given deals were done. Events NSW, a ‘private’ undisclosed millions of taxpayers’ money to RRA while our company set up by the NSW government, schools and police has given undisclosed millions of taxpayers’ hospitals, force remained seriously unmoney to RRA while our hospitals, schools derstaffed and underfunded. And it’s pretty clear who will be and police force remained seriously paying for the extra police they understaffed and underfunded.

The rally is set to groups have been consulted, the Paris-based body behind occur in Spring, the animals but many of these groups have the World Rally Series worried.

The Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) went running to our state government and would have been delighted to discover the elected members were so seduced by all the petrol fumes, that they were willing to subvert our supposedly ‘democratic’ system to accommodate them. ‘Special Legislation’ (The 2009 Motor Sports Bill) was introduced, overriding 12 different State laws designed to protect communities and the environment. And this is the kind of ‘Special Legislation’ that is only supposed to be used in emergency situations when public safety is at risk. The RRA and the state government are expecting local residents to ‘eat the dust’ but increasingly numbers of them are politely refusing to do so, some a little more politely than others! Those who oppose the Rally run the full gamut of the community. There are doctors, lawyers, business owners, teachers, plumbers, mechanics, students, artists and even motorsport enthusiasts. Reasons for opposition range from not wanting to live on a racetrack, through fear of further loss of young lives due to copycat driving to deep heartfelt concern for wildlife and concerns about the abuse of due democratic process.

Reasons to oppose For some it is seen as the type of event best remembered from another era when risking life and exploiting nature was more acceptable. There are others who admit they may get a buzz out of rallying, but are strongly opposed to having it in such a sensitive region. Others see no reason why governments should be funding and promoting an event with limited appeal. But for unknown reasons the powers that be have bent over backwards to enable all this to go on in the ‘Green Cauldron’. The new legislation makes it illegal to challenge on many levels, but hope is still held in a number of areas. The rally is affecting areas of national significance which environment minister Peter Garrett has an obligation to protect, The rally also contradicts at least two different UN declarations to which Australia is a signatory. Other legal angles the ‘Special Legislation’ has not covered are being searched for and then there is the hope that the organisers may suddenly see reason. If it all goes ahead this will have very negative effects on the reputation of rallying, the FIA, Australian governments at all levels and all the event’s sponsors. ■ See more about the rally protest at http://sites.google.com/ site/norallygroup.

Nature’s wild chooks among little Aussie breeders Story & photo Mary Gardner

The Aussies call them ‘swamp hens’ and the New Zealanders ‘pukeko’. From the Americas, the Mediterranean or Africa, they say ‘purple gallinule’. In Hawaii they are called ‘alae ’ula’. As a former resident of several of these places, I am hopelessly confused until I hear the Latin name Porphyrio. Now the creatures come into focus. Through the grasses at the ponds near Tallow Creek, they watch me as intently as I, camera in hand, watch them. Close to me, one bird’s back tail flicks up and flashes a white patch. Flick again. The bird’s direction changes. It is now behind dense reeds. A clear camera shot is obscured. I wait, watching the bulky chook-like body move like a shadow up to where the reeds part a little. In two more steps the red spangled head, the purple neck and breast could appear. With the still water as a background, this could make the best photo of this dawn outing. I advance the zoom as the bird’s head reaches forward. It is startled by something and twists. My photo is ungainly: the bird’s rump, tail down. Then its tail flicks up. I snap another picture. Is the bird turning sideways somewhat?

It’s almost out of view again. Snap. The tail flicks white again. I wait. The bird pulls up and chews some wet grasses. Snap. Better but not quite. I love the strong contrast of the red head and legs with the purple body. From here, the rising easterly sun now dulls the colours into a dark silhouette. I should get to the other side of the pond. The bird moves towards several others. There are about a dozen here this morning. Their ancestors originated here in Australia some 30 million years ago. By three million years ago, they spread throughout the world, changing in small ways. About a thousand years ago, they were finally in New Zealand. These moderns joined a relative there called Notornis, a similar colour and shape but much heavier and quite solitary. This one, called ‘Takahe’, was also originally from Australia but from very long ago. From now to December is the beginning of the breeding season here and in South America. In New Zealand and Africa, the season is over summer, December to May. In Hawaii, March through August is preferred. Any time of year, somewhere, Porphyrio are breeding. In different places, Porphyrio

manage family life differently and I love them for it. They can be monogamous, in pairs or in trios, with either two males or two females. Quite often, they can be communal breeders: a number of males and females all mating with each other. All the eggs are laid in one nest. Every bird assists with the young who are up and about soon after birth. They are cooperative: aunts and uncles helping with feeding and defending the youngsters.

Cooperative breeders – that’s us humans too. With our extraordinarily defenseless infants and toddlers, we manage from one generation to the other because of help from grandparents, other relatives, friends and staff. The technical term for these helpers is ‘allomothers’. Porphyrio family variations may be interactions with different habitats and population densities. Our family lifestyles seem more complicated, but

can we look at them dispassionately, as a species? Admittedly, our breeding is complicated by our cultural/social contexts. Sarah Hardy studies primate species, including humans. She pioneers ideas in the new field of evolutionary psychology. She surveyed the huge range of human lifestyles over time and correlated a wide variety of human family groupings. Among us as foragers, hunters, farmers, city dwellers, she lists varied tribal groupings, extended families, harems, marriages to develop lineages, marriages to maintain social classes, single parent families, families who support nursing mothers, families who hire wet nurses, families who select or abandon infants, on a case by case basis. The list goes on. Groups whose new mothers share breastfeeding of infants. Groups who believe several men are required to build a fetus and then help the mother raise that baby. Groups who have various criteria a child must meet before it is considered human and legally part of a family. Hardy points out that the Western nuclear family, with every child considered an irreplaceable member, is a relatively new human breeding

arrangement. What will this require of our species and our societies? The United States Senate is grappling with this in the form of the Mothers Act. In January 2009, Congress passed a bill mandating screening of the ‘mental health’ of pregnant woman and new mothers. Senate approval is required to make this law. Evelyn Pringle, investigative reporter, traces millions of dollars of campaign donations by large pharmaceutical companies to medical groups, researchers, NGOs and politicians. The reeds stir and one bird comes closer. The background is just right. I adjust the camera. Is my presence making the bird nervy? I freeze. The bird shifts. The tail flicks up. Snap. Whatever the evolutionary pressure on Porphyrio and its family groupings, the species remain flexible, adaptable. For millennia, that’s been our human advantage too. For all we have tried, we have never identified the key trait or gene or environment that always results in ‘the best offspring’. But we know how trying to manipulate ourselves using eugenics, drugs or legislation backfires. Quick, for the sake of those American women and babies, someone remind them in the United States.

Byron Shire Council and its discontents Apologies for being so late in providing an update on a review of some of the traffic solutions and ideas proposed during the traffic forum held a few months ago in the Byron Community Centre. Though my life has been pretty hectic of late, the slow machinations were due to waiting for the MR545 report to be finalised before putting Council staff to work on further pursuits, while it was also clear the outcomes and recommendations within the MR545 report would need to be considered as well.

■ No doubt many residents of the Byron Shire have read with interest much press about the Byron Council’s view on Planned Retreat and the imple-

mentation of a Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP). I understand that an updated version of the Plan is to go on public exhibition shortly. Part of the process involves the appointment by Byron Council of a Coastal and Estuary Committee. This committee will provide recommendations to Council on the final form of the CZMP prior to public exhibition. The five voting members of Coastal and Estuary Committee are Jan Olley, Sandra Heilpern, Matthew Lambourne, Jan Barham, and Richard Staples. I am appalled that there is no cross-section of the community on such an important committee. If one were to drill

made residents and ratepayers believe that all was fine, and a loss on capital ‘impossible’, because of the ‘safeguards’ in place, reality, as so often with BSC, tells us now a very different story. It would be useless to ask for a ‘please explain’. All we would receive is a bit more hollow spin, and in case of the other proponent in the matter, Cr Tom Tabart, probably more of his less than helpful, just as hollow and venomous, verbal and written spittings, that are all well documented. While that sort of headshaking stuff unravels, Byron Shire remains under-serviced, under-funded and on a goat track into the abyss of extremes of an ideological nature. Only

option seems to be to put up with that junk, or leaving. I really enjoyed a good laugh from a recent media article in the BSN concerning the endless, unjustifiable delay of getting Lighthouse Road fixed. The comment from a Lighthouse Road resident saying ‘that would it be Noosa, the matter would have been resolved in six weeks’ has a lot of merits. There certainly is a very sharp difference in attitude and ability in getting things done, and done properly, between Byron and Noosa! We can only hope that the cry for appropriate action gains momentum in Byron Shire.

not be used as an adjunct to US military ambitions in Iraq, Afganistan and other parts of the world. Professor Lynch made the observation that since the attack on Pearl Harbour December 1941, USA has been at war for more days than it has been living in peace – this does not include conflicts created by the CIA and other USA agencies. He was critical of the Rudd government for increasing military spending to $71 million a day from the Howard government’s spending of $55 million a day. This despite all military advice that Australia faces no danger in the forseeable future. As usual the Byron Shire and surroundings were well represented among the Christian, political and peace activists who journeyed to Rockhampton and Yeppoon to take part in non-violent blockades, peace vigils, public meetings, peace parade and the final peace concert. War exercises will be held again at Shoalwater Bay in 2011. A large group of protesters is needed to save this largest wilderness area in Queensland, a world heritage area adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, home of dugong and green turtles, 26 species of dolphins and whales. In 2007 the world famous white humpback whale Migaloo, and his pod, entered the region during Talisman Sabre military excercises. Ultimately this area should be returned to the care of the Darumbal people.

owned farmland and highway landfill in the Sandy Flat valley sending floodwaters down to sit and ferment and rot out the Tintenbar valley for months on end as is now happening? And the proof of the pudding is there to see, all engineered by so-called flood study experts holding a gun at landowners’ heads, while pandering to the whim of Ballina Shire Council and Planning Department bandits in Sydney. Recent flash flooding and ferocious valley backlash from downstream blockages saw roadways cut, another rescue and vehicle afloat in the Tintenbar valley, livestock trapped, pastures knocked out and residents denied rightful access to properties. And a retaining wall, now drawn up for the Sandy Flat valley, never before needed to quell the onslaught. The only role missed in sealing the valley’s fate is the erection of a plaque at the next highway bend, as a lasting memorial with the names of those who snuffed the life-blood out of the Tintenbar valley, and gelded what is left of the Emigrant Creek floodplain. What a mess. What a government. And what a legacy to future generations?

What a mess Recent publicity relating to Ballina fish kills and poor health of the Richmond River points the finger squarely at flooding and rotting vegetation as the main cause of the problem. So why the creation of the very same setup just north of Ballina to add to the problem, with a major upheaval to R.T.A. 16 July 28, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

Lucky country? We repeatedly hear from various correspondents and most of our elected representatives (parliamentarians) that we are lucky to be living in a democracy! Are we? Do we? A proper democracy is one in which our elected representatives, a minority, are so placed to implement the wishes of the public, the majority. From the very first step in our system, the lie is given, because we are punished, financially of course, if we choose not to use our vote! We are denied referenda on some very important points. 1.

formed, to consume fluoridated water? 2. How many Australians wish to be governed by an allpowerful, and remote World Government; a government which cannot be removed if we find it not to our liking. According to one of the early planners, the penalty for opposition is death! 3. How many Australians wish to sell off our natural resources, ie water, minerals, power generating plants, our marine services, our transport networks, and perhaps most importantly our food growing potiential?

All of the above services are scheduled for privatisation for one-off payment of billions of dollars. The purchaser gets control in perpetuity, and will be permitted, if we have the purchasing power, to buy back what we once owned, at whatever price the new owners choose to set! What happens to the billions ‘we’ get is not yet clearly stated. Corporations do not normally use their capital in taking over enterprise; they obtain credits from the big banks, which in the end, with the establishing of a world central banking organisation will ultimately own everything by

the simple process of cancelling debts for equity; debts by the way which were created out of nothing. In this regard see the charter of the Bank Of England. After all this sleight of hand has taken place, our children, and their children after them, will own nothing, and any access they may have to the GIP (Gross International Product) will be at the say-so of some seat-polishing international civil servant. What I am saying is that by the subversive actions of our elected parliamentarians, and the inaction (except on the sports field) of the elec-

torate our future generations are destined to be slaves of an extremely vicious financial organisation. There are of course political connections to that same financial structure. The German Jewish poet/ philosopher Heinrich Heine in the 19th century said: ‘Our grandchildren will need thick skins on their backs.’ I wonder why he said such thing? More recently, in the 20th century, the British socialist philospher Sir Bertrand Russel said ‘Most people would rather die than think, and probably will.’ And an extremely perceptive engineer/philosopher se-

riously suggested, ‘Mind your own business, it is in great need of your attention.’ In the cause of sanity, and the future general prosperity, when will the Dinki-Di Australians wake up? Jim Inness

Beds are burning I’m a big fan of Midnight Oil songs and music. I first saw the band in the late 70s while living at Mona Vale on the northern beaches in Sydney, Oh those were the days, Midnight Oil were the band with the environmental messages at the time on a lot of issues. So what happened to Peter Garrett? Well, he became a Labor Party politician, he also became the environment minister and minister for arts and heritage. Big deal, Pete. As environment minister, he has signed off on the Gunns pulp mill in Tassie, signed off and agreed to Labor’s uranium policies and has just signed off on a new uranium mine in South Australia. I remember the song ‘Blue Sky Mine’. Pete, was that song you sang just all bullshit or were you for real at the time? When Garrett visited Lismore the other week, I went along with two greeting cards – ‘Stop the bloody whaling now, Garrett, take Japan to Court now’ and ‘Stop the bloody whaling, Sea Shepherd shouldn’t do your job.’ Garrett reacted to these greeting cards by saying that the Sea Shepherd campaign in Antarctica only increased the Japanese quota. Hello, Peter, Sea Shephered halved the quota that the Japanese whalers set themselves and cost them heaps of dollars. Garrett also went on about his government on non-lethal whale research. Hello again, Peter, Southern Cross University whale research centre has already proven that whales do not need to be killed for research. So Garrett shot himself in the foot and it looks like he has sold his soul to the devils. The beds are burning, Peter – as I write this letter this song is being played on Bay FM. Oh the irony!

Tax Break To help Australian businesses, a temporary tax break is available on plant and equipment you need to buy to keep your business running. The tax break is not a refund, rebate or tax offset. It’s a tax deduction to reduce the assessable income of your business. Deadlines apply.

To qualify for the 30% tax deduction, the asset had to have been bought between 13 December 2008 and 30 June 2009. It will need to be installed by 30 June 2010. The 10% tax deduction is available depending on when the asset was bought. It needs to be installed by 31 December 2010.

What can I buy? 50% tax break for businesses with turnover less than $2 million. If you own a small business that turns over less than $2 million a year, you can claim an extra 50% tax deduction on the cost of eligible assets which cost $1,000 or more. To qualify, the asset must be bought between 13 December 2008 and 31 December 2009 and be installed by 31 December 2010.

30% or 10% tax break for businesses with turnover of $2 million or more.

sible to escape. But although the ‘gigantic’ German Shepherd may have been ‘nosing the ground excitedly’ (my poodle does that too), it was not being encouraged or permitted to devour any wild critters. Indeed most dog lovers are animal lovers and are as concerned about wildlife as anyone else. While I don’t condone dog owners posing a threat to wildlife, the fact is this Council has banned dogs from just about every square inch of public space in the shire. Just where do a nice family take their dog to enjoy an outing? I’m sure if Council could find it in their hearts to free up just a fraction of the areas they have locked up, there would be less pressure on sensitive wildlife areas.

The tax break covers new, tangible, depreciating assets such as: cars, vans, trucks and other business vehicles computer hardware (but not software) tools furniture. It also covers capital improvements to existing machinery and equipment.

Where do I ﬁnd out more? Contact your tax adviser, visit the website www.australia.gov.au/businesstaxbreak or phone the business tax break info line on 1300 337 921.

Larger businesses may qualify for an extra tax deduction on eligible assets which cost $10,000 or more.

Byron Bay Writers Festival www.byronbaywritersfestival.com.au

Plenty for children in the writersfest Kids Marquee The Byron Bay Writers Festival continues its tradition of bringing the liveliest authors to the Kids Marquee on Festival Saturday and the 2009 lineup will bring children and their delighted adults rushing on to the Festival site. The Festival fun’s not all for grownups! Tickets are a very reasonable $25 ($20 for young NRWC members) and the bonanza of children’s authors is way too good to miss. First up in the Kids Marquee on Saturday August 8 is the entertaining Wendy Harmer. The gorgeous Pearlie book series, boasting ten titles, is hugely popular with primary age children, but bigger kids will sit agog as Wendy reads, charms and spins her magical tales. So successful is Wendy‘s work that Pearlie is now read in eight languages worldwide. Following hot on Wendy’s heels is prolific entertainer and loved children’s author Gretel Killeen. Her numerous best sellers include My Life is a

Toilet, My Sister’s a Burp, Hot Buns, Ophelia get Shipwrecked and The Very Naughty Mother Runs Away, each of them a title from an individual kids’ series. Said Festival Director Jeni Caffin. ‘I was on tenterhooks when I issued the invitations to Wendy Harmer and Gretel Killeen, knowing what their schedules are like. Presenting one of them would have been extraordinary. Offering both in the Kids Marquee on Saturday morning is a great big coup.’ The next personality to seize centre stage is the creator of the Mac Slater, Coolhunter and the Nitboy series, local Tristan Bancks. Tristan has found international success as an actor, filmmaker and writer. Not content with his popularity among the primary age group, Tristan has launched his first Young Adult book, it’s yr life. Said Caffin, ‘Tristan is a natural born storyteller with unlimited ideas and kids love his live presentations.

Tashi series are known to every child who loves to read and dream. Anna has written many award-winning, best-selling books for children. Not just Tashi, but the Minton series, the piratical novels Horrendo’s Curse and Wiggy and Boa, as well as Number 8 and Borrowed Light for older readers have earned Anna a place in the hearts and minds, and on the bookshelves, of readers worldwide. Children of all ages will be spellbound as this beautiful and supremely imaginative writer shares her work and stories. Completing the program is the celebrated duo Cuzco, comprised of Indigenous hiphop poet Wire MC and Argentinean born rapper Choo Choo. Dynamic, direct and eloquent. The same can of course be Writer and entertainer Wendy Harmer. said for Nick Earls, whose YA and adult fictions pepper the Following Wendy and Gretel their wake.’ would give pause to many a And the riches don’t end top ten charts constantly.

Visiting authors give free talks at Southern Cross the newly released Macquarie PEN Anthology of Australian Literature (2009). He has published several acclaimed novels as well as short stories, essays, translations and a personal memoir and written widely on contemporary Asian and Australian culture, having been a former cultural advisor to the Australian Embassy in China. Professor Jose will take up the Harvard Chair of Australian Studies for 2009-10. He currently has a Chair in Writing with the Writing and Society Research Group at the University of Western Sydney where he continues to mentor emerging writers and to produce his own work.

British-based Pakistaniborn author Imran Ahmad will also give a guest lecture at the Lismore campus on Monday August 10 in room U-231, from 12pm to 1.30pm, chaired by Associate Professor Baden Offord, himself a published author. Imran’s presentation will weave together various threads from his amazing life – growing up a Muslim in the West, living in a post 9/11 world, following your dream (and making it happen!) and all about his unimagined path to publication. Somewhat of a larrikin with a great sense of humour, Imran was born in Pakistan and moved to England in the early 1960s at the age of one, gro-

wing up in London. The deterioration in relations between America and the Muslim world after 9/11 drove him to write his book, Unimagined – a Muslim boy meets the West, as a way of re-humanising that troubled relationship. Unimagined went on to be recognized in the ‘best books of the year’ lists of several major newspapers. As part of the Byron Bay Writers Festival, staff, students and alumni are also invited to attend a private lecture by one of the world’s leading human rights lawyers, Geoffrey Robertson QC, on Thursday, August 6 at 11am, in the Whitebrook Theatre, at the Lismore campus.

Who are the masterminds behind some of the Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest dishes? Do you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of your favourite restaurants? Following on from the success of Channel 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Masterchefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, we decided it was time to shine a spotlight on our own eateries and some of the culinary connoisseurs who work within them. It is commonly known that a restaurant experience relies on three main components : food, service and atmosphere, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the establishments that get each three perfectly right that we return to again and again. And yet we as diners need to keep our part of the bargain too - and here are some ways in which we can: 1. The menu has been created for a speciďŹ c reason â&#x20AC;&#x201C; try not to mess around with it and make your own changes 2. Treat waitstaff with the same respect and warmth as you expect yourself 3. Only complain if you have a valid cause 4. If you are unable to keep your booking, ensure the restaurant is advised in plenty of time Apart from that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple matter of abandoning yourself to the luxury and the pleasure of having these connoisseurs cook for you!

After several years of travelling Australia, Tommy has opened his own Thai restaurant back in Nimbin serving gourmet Thai food for lunch and dinner six days per week. Tommyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu is designed for sharing, and organic and local produce is used whenever possible. A recent trip to Thailand by Tommy will see some changes to the menu in the future. The restaurant has applied for a liquor licence and expects to be trading in this capacity before the summer season.

Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job with the Compass Group in London gave him the opportunity to study with high class European chefs at the Tower of London, the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House in Greenwich, Hampton Court Palace, Eltam Castle, and National History Museum in Knightsbridge, Olympia, Earls Court, O2 Dome and many other exciting places. He had to return to Australian from the UK after his mother became ill but decided to stay when Jason Rawnsley contacted him and offered him a position at Mokha. Now he has the opportunity to bring all he has learnt to Byron Bay.

10 things that make me happy in the kitchen The smell of fresh coffee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I use coffee from the local Ewingsdale coffee company. The taste is amazing and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian owned and grown.

1/2 kilo long red chillies 1 bulb garlic, peeled UFBTQPPOT DBSBXBZ TFFET UFBTQPPOT DPSJBOEFS TFFET UFBTQPPOT DVNJO TFFET 1 tablespoon salt, to taste extra virgin olive oil

Sea salt ďŹ&#x201A;akes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It brings out the flavour of just about anything when cooking. I use it at home and at Fishmongers. Mortar & pestle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I love blending fresh spices together. The grinding process releases the flavours of nuts, seeds and fresh herbs. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried using a mortar and pestle youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never buy dried herbs again.

Slice the chillies and remove the seeds. Wash and place chillies in a colander and allow to drain for 1 hour. Place the peeled garlic in a bowl of a food processor with the washed chilli. Place spices in a frypan and on low heat, dry fry them, remembering to keep stirring them, until the fragrance has been released. Place the spices in a spice mill and pulverise them to a fine powder. Add them to the food processor and pulse until you have a thick paste, drizzling the olive oil in a bit at a time. Once done, spoon the harissa into a big jar and cover with a thick layer of olive oil and refrigerate.

My Furi knives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I love these knives at home. They are lightweight and easy to sharpen. Tallows Beach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I swim, relax, run, surf, play footie with my son and walk my dogs. There is nothing better than making a giant breakfast, lunch or dinner after a day on the beach. My cookbook collection â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be BCPVU DPPLCPPLT JO JU m TPNF QBTTFE EPXO from my Mum and others from all over the place.

The Spangled Drongo Restaurant

Fresh seafood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I love fresh produce, particularly seafood. When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super fresh, there is not a lot you have to do to it really, just keep it simple. We are so lucky in Australia with the range and quality of seafood.

was named after the bird, which nests in our area during October. It is a glossy black bird with a bright red eye and a very distinctive fish-like tail. It perches on open bare branches or wire, and frequently flicks its tails open and shut. It is very vocal and often gives its location away long before you see it. Tommy Price is the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chef and his signature dish is a Malay laksa, a thin soup served with fresh greens and rice noodles from a selection of chicken, tofu or seafood. The menu offers a good selection of entrees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; freshly made chicken satays, fish cakes and spring rolls all served with home-made sauces and a choice of crispy noodle or green papaya salads. A delicious cheese on toast snack served with the best Tasmanian brie and home made pesto makes a delicious light lunch on a sunny winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. Main courses include stir fry, red or green curry, fried noodles or fried rice with a choice of vegetarian or meat or seafood. Fresh fish or crab specials are available from time to time. Dessert is a choice of black rice pudding, fresh fruit or fried ice cream. Open for lunch and dinner six days per week. 11-2.30pm and 5.30-9pm. Closed Tuesdays.

The dustjacket of Oren Seidler’s memoir Bruce & Me proclaims ‘My father is a con artist and a white collar criminal. When I was eight years old we crisscrossed the States scamming and conning. This was my childhood…’ The book chronicles Oren’s colourful and chaotic childhood, shared between mother and father, Australia and America. The mistakes of her flawed but loving parents are evident yet I couldn’t help but feel the utmost admiration for these two gloriously unconventional characters. As a child, Seidler yearned for the straightlaced vegemite sandwich eating suburbia, but in the meantime her parents have gifted her with an extreme and extravagant tale, certainly not one told by the child of Mr and Mrs Joe Average. With a spiritualist hippy mum and a con man for a dad, Seidler didn’t have a hope in hell of achieving the suburban dream! As a memoir, this is compassionately told with no sense of ‘poor me’. Ironically, this gifted writer was illiterate until nine, due to the inconsistency in her schooling, another hang up of her bizarre childhood. So, with family secrets revealed just how do Seidler’s parents feel about their portrayal? Bruce & Me is already an internationally released documentary film, the memoir came after out after that. My mum was okay. She read the final draft and freaked out about it, but she’s okay about it now. It’s interesting, because from a childhood perspective your take on things is quite different, there were scenes she (mum) had no memory of or she said things like: ‘Wow I had no idea that affected you or there were even things she claimed didn’t happen that way… but it was a memoir and those experiences, whether they actually happened like that or not is crucial in forming my memory of my childhood. ‘My mum is very supportive, no matter what I do, she’s behind me. I gave her opportunities to change it, but she didn’t want to. I gave the manuscript to my father to read and he didn’t come back with feedback about changes to his character, he was obsessed with numbers and dates he’d gotten wrong. He was immune to any impact!’ Seidler’s dad Bruce openly cons banks, car dealerships

and is especially skilled in the fine art of credit card fraud, although he is not excessive or extravagant in his expenditure. His ethos is that it undermines the system and that it’s important to tread lightly on the planet. He is characterised by contradiction. He’s the criminal who made enormous effort to be an active, (even if criminally so) parent.

Oren’s book has instigated not only positive reviews but a flood of contact from appreciative readers. ‘The letters I get from people are so heartwarming – it makes it so worthwhile – a couple of people said they were estranged from their father after reading the book and they picked up the phone and reconciled. A lot of people said it made them look at how their ‘That is the thing about my relationships were unfolding dad. Lots of people might say, in their family dynamic, it has oh he’s a bad, bad parent, but at the end of the day he sought helped people to reconsider and reconnect, what more out a relationship with me could you ask for?’ and financially supported me and went half way around the Oren is currently 32 weeks world to see me.’ pregnant with her second child, something that has So how was it sharing this changed her perspective of very personal story again? memoir writing. ‘I got a lot out of my system with the film, so with the book ‘When you write a memoir you don’t consider that it’s there I wanted a more bemused forever. I didn’t think about that telling of my story. I had got when I wrote it. the anxiety of being judged out of my system with the film ‘It’s been an interesting process being seen all over the world having my first child at the and I was much more relaxed end of my book – it has made about it.’ me thnk about how I want

to mother children and learn from things from my own childhood and try and not pass on the pattern. I’d like to provide a stable wholesome environment with stable, loving parents, something that I missed out on.’ Memoir writing is a topic at the Writer’s Festival this year. Oren is well aware of the challenges. ‘The whole topic of memoir writing is interesting, it’s rife with difficulty – you have to tread carefully, in my family there are people that would have preferred I hadn’t written the book, my stepfather would not see the film. ‘In order to tell my story, I am also telling and exposing my sister’s background which she may not want exposed.’ Oren is appreciative of her story, but tells it with some reluctance. ‘I am embarrassed I made a film and wrote a book sometimes. But I was approached to write a book, a literary agent

approached me to write the book after seeing the film. I didn’t have a book deal, I wrote for two years not knowing if it was going to be published.’ Seidler credits the local support with helping her to achieve her goal. ‘I had mentorship with Narelle Day through Northern Rivers Writers Centre, that was so helpful, that was the first time I was out of isolation with my manuscript which led to a chain of events to being published. I ended up deciding not to have an agent, I was in contact with three or four publishers, and I thought I know what I am doing so I just did it myself. I had at least three offers and I was able to choose a publisher direct. ‘ Oren Seidler launches Bruce & Me at the Writer’s Festival Launch Pad on Saturday 4 – 5pm. Everyone is welcome. You don’t need a festival pass to attend. Just show up. This is a free event.

EXTENDED FAMILY LENNOX POINT HOTEL FRIDAY

Mandy Nolan Back to Basics

FEELING FINE

At least once a week a fine appears in my letterbox. How can it be so hard to obey the rules? Obviously very. I seem to be penalised on a regular basis. Every time I go to the video shop I’m slugged with late fees. A $5 rental can cost up to $20. Sometimes it’s been cheaper to throw the kids in the car and go to the movies. l seem constitutionally incapable of returning DVDs on time. Why isn’t there some reciprocity? Why can’t I fine video shops for inconvenience when my rental is scratched, or worse, when it’s a crap film? There’s nothing worse than paying $50 late fees for the film that fell behind the couch when you know it probably hasn’t been rented in two years. ‘You should be paying me for keeping this out of circulation. It’s a health risk.’ It’s so negative. As a parent I know that constant negative reinforcement just creates more negative behaviour. If you want to role model positive behaviours, like returning movies on time, then that behaviour needs to be rewarded.

Like a cash bonus. ‘Your DVD arrived on time today. Congratulations! Here’s two bucks.’ Same with the (Harper Valley) RTA. They took Foucault’s concept of the all-seeing eye and ran with it. I’m two months into not driving due to a barrage of speeding fines. The RTA is so judgemental. Where’s the cameras that pick up acts of driving excellence? I live for the day when I can go to the box and open the letter that says: ‘Dear Ms Nolan, you were allowing a Queenslander to merge. We have awarded you 3 demerit points.’ As opposed to the usual: ‘Go to Jail. Go directly to Jail. Do not pass Go.’ I even get fined by the library. It hurts to fork out a dollar for Duncan Ball’s ‘Selby Santa’. Then there’s the banks and the billions of dollars of revenue they draw in by charging us for removing our money from their cash holes. I added up $400 last year in bank fees. That’s criminal. That’s a week’s rent. Maybe the bank could take my kids to Dreamworld. Twice. There’s late payment fines. Obviously if you’re paying late you don’t

second clothing

have the money. We seem to be living in a system with a mandate to penalise the poor. I have Photoshop. I am going to start making my own fines and issuing them to people who I believe have committed offences of real social concern. I’d fine the RTA for the Clunes camera with a warning for St Helena. I’d fine teachers for their constant need for staff planning days thus stuffing up my work week and finally I’d fine Peter Garrett for being the world’s greatest disappointment. Oh Peter, why hast thou forsaken us? I feel the burn of his Judas kiss and wonder whether he has experienced the agony of his betrayal. God help the Garden of Gethsemane if they found yellow cake there. The bible would have taken a very different turn if Jesus has spent his last hours in a uranium mine. So that’s why Jesus glows in the dark. On a brighter note, Mr Garrett, Minister for Arsing the Environment has some great tips for insomniacs because he seems to be able to sleep while his bed is burning.

The Basics have got me. For a start it’s not every day you get the band with their shirts off pose. I have always had a particular fondness for the soft pink flesh of a skinny white boy, not all oiled and buff like a Manpower shoot. I’m thinking this promo snap was taken in the shower cue at a caravan park. Enough objectifying, let’s talk about their music! Their latest single release has critics raving. It’s been called ‘…a soaring, infectious and gorgeously crafted pop song from three incredibly talented musicians.’ And Ross Clelland of Drum raved ‘…a song bordering on fucking marvellous’ …I take my shirt off to ‘em. In April, The Basics did what they do best and hit the open road for the launch of their single With This Ship, captivating packed houses with their intimate and acoustic shows. The Basics are plugging in, going back to electric and launching their latest single, Like a Brother at the Beach Hotel on Friday!

Let it Bee Another chap I wouldn’t mind seeing with his shirt off is the handsome Mr M. Jack Bee. But now I’m just getting plain creepy. There’s been a certain buzz about a certain bee on the north coast of late. Talented young local musician M. Jack Bee promises songs as sweet as honey this Wednesday at the Beach Hotel. After nationally touring his debut release I Don’t Want to Fight You earlier this year, Bee most recently supported Lucie Thorne and Jordie Lane. M. Jack Bee has a remarkably big band sound

Keeping it in the Family Fresh from the husky delta of the inner Sydney streets comes a band which unravels contemporary roots, funk, soul and blues, to create something deliciously sexy and new that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but groove to. Sydney-based roots/blues/ funk commotion Extended Family often diverge into the unpredictable, with their crazy antics, winning fans and alienating traditionalists at every performance. Dual male and female lead vocalists set the band apart with dance moves, dobro slide guitar and

wit, while an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;octopusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drummer plays percussion consecutively with the kit, a bass player lays grooves down on both double and electric bass, and two horn players lift other band members into the air while soloing. They mix the familial with the sexy, in the same way they mix delta blues with world grooves, soul and funk lines. The band has also enjoyed the rare pleasure of playing eight sold-out headline shows at Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier venue, The Basement. Extended Family were grand finalists in the SBS Performer of the Year Award â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;05, grand finalists in the Sunscreen Independent Film Clip Competition â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;06, selected in 2SERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top 20 Australian Blues Artists â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;06, and in March â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;07, Extended Family was

chosen as one of five Australian export-ready unsigned artists to perform in a world-first Australian SXSW showcase to Austin, Texas. Extended Family want to adopt you at the Lennox Point Hotel on Friday.

Open House on Comedy Its a standup comedy showdown at The Court House in Mullumbimby the first Thursday of every month. Comics come from far and wide to strut their stuff, to shape new gags and get precious stage time. Last month muso Stephen Bocking tried his luck and was hooked, punch line and stinker. He’s back this month for a second shot at it. The great thing about an open mic night is the sense of danger. New comics are unpredicatable. Sometimes they’re fantastic, sometimes they’re not. But you know what, it doesn’t matter, even when they bomb, it’s fun. You never know quite what to expect! This month

DR BAZ AND NEIL MCCANN AT THE JAZBAH AT THE BALLINA HOTEL ON SATURDAY

INVISIBLE FRIEND BUDDHA BAR FRIDAY

DJ Ish (Third Eye Production) is the mini pocket rocket who had the Tipi Zone dance floor under her spell at Splendour ‘08. The girl has come up from Melbourne to join the lineup at Liquid’s monthly trance spot along with this week’s headliners Twighlight (Mushy Records) from Mexico, Larrikin (Motion Control Records), Pop and Sarah. Born and bred in Byron Bay Ish has left the nest and is studying a TAFE certificate IV in technical production in Melbourne’s Northland College. For the past eight years Ish has been travelling and exploring the psycedelic scene in Australia playing at events such as Exodus, Rainbow Serpent, Splendour in The Grass, Cairns Winter Solstice, Maitreya, Bushweek and Goddess Awakening. It has become a novelty to interview DJs of the female gender and I hardly get to listen to female DJs up around the shire; I keep pondering whether girls lack the confidence to get involved or whether they’re just plain disinterested in DJ-ing. So what made Ish dare the DJ booth and the scrutiny of her peers? ‘Being an only child, music was my ‘everything’ growing up and still is. As soon as I saw mates DJ-ing around the age of 14, I was so intrigued I knew I had to learn.’ Q: Please tell us about your experience as a girl DJ? A: ‘It has definitely been an interesting journey, I think it brings a different feel to watch

a female play tunes, the crowd really digs it especially on the north coast because there are not that many woman doing it. DJ-ing I think should be about sharing your love for music with others, not about ego or needing to be seen, which I have sadly observed a fair bit of between the males.’ Of course competitive behaviour is not just a male attribute, we’re merely throwing the ‘why so few female DJs’ question into the mix here… Ish: ‘About 2 years ago Tao, Vera, (two other amazing female DJs) and I created a party called Goddess Awakening. We put on a day and night of all female artists playing tunes and pulling together an amazing party. It has been an absolute delight to see the amount of women that have since been inspired to give DJ-ing a go. I reckon in Melbourne there are definitely a few more women out there playing a wicked variety of tunes, but I guess you get that in a city, there’s more people in general. Byron has an awesome array of solid woman DJs and it’s great to see… ladies go on give it a go!’

us to different recording studios throughout the city, live gigs (set-up, packdown) and we have days at school where Industry professionals come and share their work and Q: What is your favourite unit how they got there. It’s at school? really inspiring for anyone A: ‘Learning about mastering, interested in production, equalization and live recordaudio engineering, perings. It’s also been wicked forming, stage hand or learning to work with different roadie.’ This course is programs such as Pro-tools and also available up at the Logic.’ Sunshine Coast TAFE and they announce your Career Q: How many girls are studying at your school? A: ‘Not many, about three or four I think…’ Q: What job opportunities does your education offer you?

A: ‘There are many different opportunities that the course offers depending on what specific area each individual is interested in. They do a lot of hands on work with us, taking

options as follows: live sound engineer, music producer, sound designer, sound editor, radio production engineer, film sound engineer, recording studio engineer, TV sound engineer, film sound recordist, corporate event sound engineer, or sound artist. Q: How has trance and its culture influenced you in your life? A: ‘Wow so much, from the

very first time I set foot on a dance floor it trance-formed my world, my heart and soul. The beauty and individuality of freedom and expression through the music and dance was something so amazing I could have never imagined. It brings creativity and light to my everyday. Psytrance has created a platform for me to blossom and grow, to share my passion for music with the world.’ Q: Who’s in your top five at the moment? A: ‘All the local North Coast producers; Double Vision, Positive Thought, Larrikin, Multiverse, Soundwave, Terrafractyll, Mentle Extensions Opiuo, Sun;monx, Twilight, Hermatude.’ Check out the mini pocket rocket this Thursday at Liquid. Ish, ‘music that makes your body move, your ass groove and your heart transcend.’

Television Guide 1.Reese Witherspoon is the big city fashion designer who confronts the bogeyman of nostalgia in the romantic comedy Sweet Home Alabama (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm). 2. There are few animations more delightful and witty than Finding Nemo (Prime, Saturday, 6.30pm), which has the added pleasure of environmental messages presented in a non-didactic fashion. 3. Edward Speleers and Jeremy Irons find it hard to get traction in the movie of the badly-written bestseller Eragon (TEN, Sunday, 6.30pm). No talking dragons were harmed in the making of this film but their union is talking with producers over the claw double issue.

STARS WITH LILITH

ARIES: This go-ahead week delivers an astral stimulus package of new economic initiatives – make the most of it by pruning of non-essentials. Number one on this week’s not to do list is getting potential allies offside with forceful opinions – even if you’re bored to snores, listen to theirs. TAURUS: You mightn’t think so, but your best affirmation this week is Change always works in my favour. Your ruling planet Venus in domestically oriented Cancer makes this an enjoyable month for home and family projects, so don’t let eclipse shakeups put you off. GEMINI: With this week’s astral emphasis on education and short trips, if an opportunity to upgrade your skills comes available, snap it up – if that involves travel, even better. Even if you’re feeling a bit picky, criticism’s number one no-no right now – you’ll do better by zipping the lip.

In the pre-internet days, Australia’s chess scene was hampered by the tyranny of distance, with keen players often required to travel large distances to compete in strong tournaments. On the positive side, tournaments were held, at one time or another, in almost every city of the country; the early eighties featuring, for example, a popular circuit involving tournaments on consecutive weekends in Cairns, Atherton and Townsville – the city which at that time boasted the biggest chess club in the country. In modern times, with players being able to compete from their home on the net against opponents from around the world, local clubs have found the going tough, let alone regional weekend tournaments which once formed the backbone of the Australian Grand Prix. If players are increasingly unwilling to travel across a city to play chess at a club, what chance that significant numbers will travel for half a day to compete in a weekend tournament?

This buoyant, flamboyant week’s full moon lunar eclipse, the last of an intense eclipse triad, ushers in a month of continuing planetary change along with some more creative and supportive ways of handling blips on our own personal relationship radar CANCER: As Venus moves into Cancer with opportunities you can profit from and people to help you do it, an unusual proposal or idea could turn your mind around this week – in a good way. Late week full moon’s intense eclipse energy is full of positive turning points. LEO: As this week’s dominant species you’ll definitely impress others with your enterprising spirit, general knowledge and undeniable sass. But your royal furry personages might be just a little swift in the fiery outburst department, which can be devastating to your more sensitive subjects so be merciful, dynamic Majesties. VIRGO: As your planetary ruler Mercury moves into Virgo this week a fortunate Venus connection brings a feeling quality to your communication, making relationships literally either magic or tragic depending whether your focus is on expressing appreciation and gratitude or criticism and dissatisfaction.

LIBRA: Recent eclipses tipping your equilibrium between freedom and restraint, expansion and responsibility? Then late week full moon in the sign of the eccentric and unexpected brings an unusual glimpse into future possibilities, plus some wonderful ideas about how to make creative changes. SCORPIO: Times of major change need flexible thinking and this week asks you to find inventive ways to fulfill obligations and keep everyone happy, including yourself. So listen to different opinions, consider new systems and look for problem solving approaches that are less stressful and more enjoyable. SAGITTARIUS: Mercury’s sensible voice may go unnoticed as this week’s lavish, extravagant energy unzips the Archerian wallet and slams down the plastic on luxury comforts and indulgences. But who can naysay seizing the day while you may, when none of us knows

Mungo’s Crossword

what’s on tomorrow’s menu…? CAPRICORN: How to approach this week of fiery ego heat? Coolly. Firmly. With plenty of humour. The absolute no-no is to clam up and brood, so talk things through with others even if you’re not in the mood. Going it alone is now officially out of date. AQUARIUS: As this week’s full moon eclipse in Aquarius showers you with plenty of transition-lubricating energy to make the necessary adjustments in your life’s game plan, life will be easier and less stressful if you’re able to view pushy, intrusive people simply as catalysts getting things moving. PISCES: Yes, eclipse transits can blitz your thinking and make it hard to maintain a coherent plan, but the good news is that a Jupiter/Neptune/ Chiron connection is currently expanding your understanding on many different levels. This is a highly creative week, so have fun with it. 13.h3! Nxe3 14.Qxe3 Normally White would regret losing his dark squared bishop but here 15.e5 is threatened. 14...e5! 15.fxe5 dxe5 16.Nf3 Qe7?

Ice Age 3 The pre-movie activities were more entertaining than the feature itself. O, the joy of being surrounded by ankle biters on excursion with their teacher, all of them with ants in their pants, scattering popcorn and ceaselessly changing spots (but giving a wide berth to the unshaven curmudgeon). One little alpha male led two mates on a climbing expedition over four rows of seats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they made their ascent as though attempting the west face of the Matterhorn and might have gone all the way but for the intervention of Miss, who had just returned from escorting another of her charges to the dunny. She was looking a bit wild-eyed and I

was relieved for her when the lights dropped and we finally got underway. The film is rather disappointing and, if the lukewarm laughter of the kids is any indicator, it was not as well received as its precursors. And, without wishing to sound too picky or to inhibit youthful imagination, it is an objectionable and stupid thing to have Jurassic dinosaurs roaming subterranean forests while in the icy world above them there are woolly mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scenario much less believable than that of the animals speaking English. The central characters are the mammoths, Ronald and his pregnant Ellie. Ray Romanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreary, nasal voicing of Ronald only indicates that he would not have been worth a cracker without wife Debra, brother Robert and terrorist mother Marie to play off in Everybody Loves Raymond, while Queen Latifahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ellie is similarly lifeless. Their friend Sid the Sloth, desirous of having a family

Hannah Montana It is so hard to keep up, is it not? This movie is the spin-off of an enormously successful TV series, about which I know nothing. Hannah Montana (Mylie Cyrus) is a singer/ songwriter/teen idol whose enormous success has begun to affect her behaviour.

celebrations, well, thank you very much, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather press the flesh at a swell New York awards function â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as her granny is played by hatchetfaced Margo Martindale, the horrible grasping mother in Million Dollar Baby, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame the girl for not wanting to make the trip. She gets hijacked and delivered back to her hometown, where everybody still sees her as Miley Stewart, the gal who left to get a job in Los Angeles. Nobody twigs that the humungously famous Hannah and Mylie are one in the same person. Even allowing for the fact that we are dealing with Tennessean hicks, that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify her as Hannah is stretching it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the double identity was a common ploy of Shakespeare, so why not Hollywood? The only person in on the secret is her widowed Daddy, Robby Ray (played by real life father Billy Ray â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what is it with those good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boys and their two-pronged names? Tommy Lee, Billy Bob, Stevie Ray et al?), who sets about reconnecting Hannah with her roots. The young guy who does the chores on the ranch is Travis (what else could he possibly be called?), a handsome, blue-eyed hayseed in denim, and he falls for Miley. They go riding together and swim in the crick (she in cut-off jeans and a white camisole which reveals nothing) and while their romance grows, Robby Ray is fixinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to get hisself hitched again to the sweet, unobtrusive Lorelai (I forgot she was there most of the time). The acting is good, overall (Billy Ray is as animated as wooden headed Kaw-liga, but as co-producer and paterfamilias thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be no shifting him from the role), the songs shiny and forgettable (the hip-hop/country number at a boot-scootinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hootenanny is a beauty) but, sadly, there is no Achy Breaky Heart, and the moral dilemma of Hannah coming to terms with who she is well handled. I suggested to a friend that she take her twelve-year old daughter and was pleased to receive her text the next day: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we loved it!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ~ John Campbell

Adventureland This is a coming of age story about James, (Jesse Eisenberg) whose plans to go to Europe in the summer of 1987, are dashed when his father loses his job. Instead he finds himself working in a downmarket amusement park with a whole range of malfunctioning young people. Also working at the

park is the girl of his dreams, Em, (Kristen Stewart). The film is remarkable for the details of observation, smart dialogue and the compassion the director has for his characters. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honesty thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at times painful, but mainly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very funny and is way above the usual teenage romantic comedy. ~ Lounge Cinema

of his own, finds three eggs in a cave and nurtures the hatchlings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which turn out to be Tyrannosaurus rexes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as his own. Sid, Ronald, Ellie, Diego and the rest of their friends (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not exactly sure what sort of animal Scrat is) fall down a crevice into the realm of the dinosaurs, where they have numerous hair-raising escapes from the enormous carnivores and are very nearly consumed by a torrent of molten lava. Deconstructed, the chase is the staple of most cartoons and my personal favourite remains the tireless one of the Roadrunner by never-say-die Wile E. Coyote (notable among â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Toonland creations for getting a mention in Hansard after P.J.Keating referred to him during a Parliamentary debate. If only K. M. Rudd were half as colourful). Homage is paid to the iconic Fred Flintstone with a cry of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yabba dabba doo!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, otherwise there is not much to write home about. ~ John Campbell

It may have lacked the extravagance of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, but in its more intimate, low-keyed way the Vogue Entertaining Champagne Dinner was every bit as magnificent. Held for the second year at the Byron at Byron Resort, it was a showcase for both French champagne and the food of guest chef Justin North from Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Becasse. The unnaturally balmy evening meant that mingling outside over pre-dinner Bollinger was deliciously drawn out, with canapes setting the tone for what was to follow. Newly shucked oysters from Bega were fat creamy mouthfuls of ocean; the tiny tomato and goats curd tarts delicate discs of the lightest puff pastry; brik-encased yabby tails with basil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the yabbies from Noosa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; explosions of gorgeousness with their essence-of-yabbyshell mayo. Justin North, gratifyingly devoid of the egotism appurtenant to too many celebrity chefs, floated affably amongst the crowd, happy to be introduced to total strangers and unabashed admirers. And then it was through to the dining room, where tables for eight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a more personal arrangement than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

banquet-style layout â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were dressed with simple white cloths and vases of tulips. About seventy diners settled into a 1996 Lanson Gold Label champagne as the first course was presented, introduced, as was each subsequent course, by a brief description by Justin of its cooking techniques. Either as a measure of the warm eloquence with which he explained each dish or because typical guests at a Vogue Entertaining function of this calibre have naturally curious and sophisticated levels of appreciation, the room listened in fascination to each detail. Ravioli of scallop and spanner crab arrived as a plump velvety pillow in a pool of fondued leeks and chicken jus gras â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the latter, in Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to work off the weight of the champagneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a caramelised scampi curled on top: a dish which resides with me still with its buttery leeks and citrus hints and complex intricacy of flavours. Occasional speeches, mercifully brief, punctuated the evening by Vogue Entertainingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarah Nicholson and Lansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Richard Goodman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but most guests remained focused on the food (which, as Byron at Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager Lyn Parche

later commented, the evening was really all about). (That and the champagne, naturallyâ&#x20AC;Ś) Second course was a nod to Spain, jamon Iberico, tuna and a jellied tuna consomme: sweet, smoky and delicate to go with a Besserat de Bellefon Vintage Brut; next a gamey slow-cooked squab breast

with earthily sweet beetroot, sublime alongside a Charles Heidsieck Vintage Rose. The finale, a tangy passionfruit curd tart with crunchy peanut brittle and nougat glace, slid down with a Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial with surprising facility. And not a trace of a hangover the following day. CHEFS JUSTIN NORTH (BECASSE) AND GAVIN HUGHES (BYRON AT BYRON)

snippets

The truffle industry in Australia, while a fledgling one, is a rapidly growing one. Having started in Tasmania in the 1990s, it is estimated that there are now over 130 truffle growers in the country. The three major truffle growing groups â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perigord Truffles of Tasmania, the Australian Truffle Growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association and WAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wine and Truffle Company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have recently joined forces to form the Australian Truffle Industry Steering Committee, whose aim it is to enhance cooperation amongst growers and to help the industry continue its expansion. Truffles are produced by an exotic fungus that grows on the roots of specially inoculated trees, usually hazelnut or oak; the collections of trees set up for this purpose, called WIKIPEDIA.COM

truffieres, take several years to bear commercial truffles. The industry is in the middle of truffle-harvesting at the moment, with market value currently at $3,000 per kilo for top quality truffles.

DINING TRENDS According to a recent Newspoll survey, people in NSW are more likely to eat out in their local community at least once a week compared to other states. The average figure for Australians who dine out locally is 27% whereas in NSW it is 35%, suggesting that people in NSW appreciate their local eateries in spite of the global economic crisis. Social commentator Bernard Salt thinks that the trend could be a sign that local pubs, clubs, restaurants, cafes and hotels are becoming a new or alternate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dining tableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for many families. This is related to the diminished time available for meal preparation as women return to or remain in the workforce. Local eateries are filling the niche of meal replacement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as happens in Europe and Asia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rather than that of a fine dining experience, transforming from a luxury to a necessity. National statistics show that they have become an essential part of Australian life and, in many cases, an extension of the family home.

Pony club ready for gymkhana

M2B is getting closer

The Mullumbimby Pony Club is very excited to be holding their gymkhana this Sunday August 2 and they are invitng everyone to come along to watch the action on this family event fun day. This will be the first gymkhana the club has run for around six years and a huge effort by the members and committee has made for a promising day. This event is the major fundraiser for the year. Money raised will be used for equipment and repairs and to support the education of the club’s riders who it is hoped will go on the bigger and greater things in the future. The program is full of great events for both spectator and competitor and includes senior, junior and sub-junior divisions in events which will include riding, hack, jumping and sporting events, Bend Keyhole, Lollipop Race, Trotting Race and the Mullum Mashed Potato and Fastest Time Award. There will be a huge raffle on the day with great prizes up for

a prize awarded to the best fancy dressed competitor and organisers are reminding entrants that this year the Mullum to Bruns Run and Walk is working with the Byron Shire Council to have a Waste Wise Event and Coolplanet – www. coolplanet.com.au – in order to minimise the carbon footprint caused by the event. The largest source of greenhouse emissions from most festivals and events is attendee transport. The emissions of people getting to and from large events amounts to about 80-90% of an event’s total carbon footprint. What can you do to help? Car pooling is an easy and effective way to reduce the amount of cars travelling to an event and therefore reduce carbon emissions. Catch the shuttle bus from Brunswick Heads to Mullumbimby and then you walk or run back! You can enter the event at either market this weekend or you will find us online: www. mullumtobruns.org.au.

Athletes get together Down Under Bangalow victors over Killer Whales Bangalow rugby team, who are currently sitting second on the ladder, hosted the one rung below them – Evans River Killer Whales – last Saturday. The home team came away with a well deserved 3 tries to 1 victory which was a fitting ending to the ‘Sponsors and Supporters’ Day’, the teams enjoying a great crowd rolling up to watch what was an entertaining game of rugby. Bangalow laid down the gauntlet early when captain Richard Kelly was put into space to score a sensational 30 metre try in the corner. Bangalow did not stop the action there and continued to build pressure and soon after-

scored another try of counter attack through gun winger Brad Peat. The Killer Whales forced their way back into the game and into a good attacking position off the back of poor decision making and handling from Bangalow, scoring a soft try down the blind side, five metres out through their willing number 8. As the siren blew for half time the score was 10-5 for the locals. After the break, Bangalow came out hungrier and proceeded to gain the ascendancy again. With good field position Tom Clapton called for the ball to go blind and scored a fine try of great vision.

Giants junior rugby league

International Sports Specialists, Inc. (ISSI) hosts the annual Down Under Sports Tournaments every year, this being its 20th. Originally set up to introduce New Zealand students to the game of American football (gridiron), the games provide a forum for athletes from other countries to compete head to head in the sport they love. Each athlete must be nominated by his or her high school coach, or the ISSI state coach or selection committee in order to participate in the Down Under Sports Program. The 2009 Down Under

The Mullumbimby Giants Junior Rugby League had a great weekend with the Silverthreads U10s putting in a A fantastic effort this week against Tugun. The boys were not successful but played a good hard game and tried very hard. Stand out players in the match were Luke Caldwell, Patricky Cassidy, Jordan Smith and Damien McDonald-Lang. Great work for a good team who are getting better every week. The Ocean Shores Bakery U11s won 26-6 in an impressive game of football against a determined Devils side. The boys again played with

Sports Tournaments included competition in football (gridiron), cheerleading, basketball, volleyball, golf, cross-country, track and field, free style wrestling, and swimming. ISSI’s goal is to continue to provide athletes who excel in their sport the opportunity to experience the land Down Under all within the framework of spirited and intense competition in many different sports. This year Poly Fung and about 20 members of his athletics squad competed in the games. The track and field component was held at the Gold Coast campus of Grif-

They’ll be off and racing at the Byron Bay Cup The Ballina Jockey Club is pleased to announce that plans are well advanced for the running of the Byron Bay Cup on Sunday August 30. This will mark the 121st anniversary of the first running of the Byron Bay Cup, an enormous milestine for the event. The Cup race is a prelude to the running of the Ballina Cup which is on September 10. Despite some statewide cutbacks in prize money in country New South Wales, the Jockey Club is, from its own resources, increasing prize money for the Cup to $25,000. ‘This should guarantee top quality race fields and an exciting day’s racing,’ said CEO of the Jockey Club Sarah Wills. ‘This also reflects the club’s ongoing commitment to making this day a premium race meeting on the Northern Rivers racing program. ‘The race meeting is attracting strong support from the Byron Bay community and this is reflected in the fact that the majority of last year’s race sponsors have again committed to sponsorships in the 2009 Cup meeting’, Ms Wills said. The SPAR supermarket chain will be sponsoring the www.echo.net.au

Cup itself and only two other races remain open for sponsorship. The Jockey Club is continuing with the very popular 100 Club concept introduced last year in which the Byron Bay community is offered the opportunity to purchase tickets for entry into a VIP marquee where a premium package of food and beverages will be served. Tickets will be on sale shortly through the Jockey Club and through the Club’s ambassador to Byron Bay, Mr Ross King on 0412 361 786. Race day sponsors will also be accommodated in the VIP marquee. ‘The day is being planned to produce excitement and fun. Not only are we expecting quality race fields but we will also have live music in the form of popular Byron Bay band “The Blackbirds”. ‘There will of course be the event which no race day would ever be without – the fashions on the field – and there will be plent of other entertainment.’ Anyone requiring further information about the Cup or any of the other event – please contact Sarah Wills on 6686 0333.

Athletes Sara Howard, Julia Riches, Deeanna Thompson and Kaya Ricketts competed in the under 16 girls 4x100m relay and came home with a silver, while 17 year old Zali Fung competed in the open women’s 4x100m relay for NSW in which she and her team came first and the long jump where she came third. The squad’s success is a great achievement this early in the athletic season and shows that the team is on the right track to compete in the NSW championships to be held in Sydney in September.

Sport writers are Masters The Byron Bay Writers Festival 2009 has kicked a goal with the participation of two veteran men of letters to the Marquee program. Between them,Tom Keneally and Roy Masters have notched up six decades of books and writing, but authorship’s not all they have in common. The Byron Bay Writers Festival offers audiences the chance to bask in the memories and musings of these eloquent, entertaining men as they combine in the Macquarie Marquee at 3pm on Saturday August 8 for Masters of their Game: a passion for sport and writing. Colin Bowles, prolific author and ex-professional soccer

player, will Chair, but it’s a safe bet that the code of football under fierce discussion will be rugby league. Tom Keneally is the number one ticket holder for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and is adamant that his love of football is as vibrant and intense as his love of writing. Roy Masters has had a lifetime’s involvement with rugby league, as player, first grade coach and ultimately writer and was St George’s longest standing coach and in 2004 was named Western Suburbs’ Coach of the Century. Bookings are essential for this event – visit: www. byronbaywritersfestival.com.

There were numerous missed opportunities for the Bangalow side, which could have seen the score blow out even further. Kerry Jennings finally kicked a goal off a penalty, with the game ending 18-5. Points went to 1- Passive, 2- Richard Kelly and 3-Jock Craigie. Bangalow thankfully has taken another step, this time forward and they are working toward building into the business end of the season. The backs are looking more settled and the forwards are starting to show their potential. This Saturday Bangalow hope to play Byron at Byron for the Crombat trophy, as promised at 2:30pm.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure many of the revellers at Splendour had a fab time but those scum of the earth, drink spikers, were still out and about. One of our staff was given spiked water at Splendour but was sensible enough to get herself to a stall and thence to the first aid tent. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll run her full account next week but in the meantime, folks, please be careful out there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; do not accept drinks from strangers or even new friends, and keep an eye on your drink when out pubbing or clubbing. And if you do get spiked, report it to the police. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;
