Colour, sparkle and unity for Living Earth Mullumbimby’s diverse community came together on Sunday to celebrate the Living Earth festival, which featured a street parade similar to the Chincogan Fiesta parade held fifteen years ago. An excited Jeannette Martin from the Community Gardens told The Echo Sunday that the parade saw a ‘diverse range of groups, from environmental groups to scouts, to the fire brigade and the herb nursery.’ The event was a collaboration between the Community Gardens and the Mullum Chamber of Commerce. The day’s activities spread across the entire town and included the Rukkus skate comp at the skatepark. Meanwhile the gardens displayed an abundance of food, the result of Parading through Mullumbimby is Megan Schneider and Sharni Graham, who added a touch of historical grace to an otherwise raucous rabble.

hard work from volunteers over the last four years. The gardens were originally created from a, ‘desire to be part of a more sustainable solution’, says Sarah-Jane Potts, festival director and president of the community gardens. She told The Echo that the Living Earth festival was about being, ‘more sustainable, more part of the solution and less of the problem.’

Sustainablity solution ‘It occurred to me, and a group of people I was talking with, that if we got together, all the pieces of the puzzle would fall into place and that it would create that shift and seed a more sustainable culture here on this Earth. I would like to see us earning our name as a forwardthinking shire and this festival is evidence that it’s who we are.’ Former Chincogan Fiesta parade organiser Trevor Watts said that there were the most cars in town that he’d seen in a ‘long long time’.

Liquor precinct plans to be explored by Council Plans for a Byron Bay liquor accord precinct will be explored after Byron Shire Council voted unanimously in favour at Thursday’s ordinary meeting. Designed to work alongside liquor accords, precincts are generally found in larger city areas and are established by the Office of Liquor and Gaming (OLGR), and would have mandatory conditions. The motion’s author, Cr Paul Spooner, says he changed his mind on the issue after he attended the recent Last Drinks at 12 meeting, where health professionals and po-

lice spoke firsthand of the issues they face with alcohol-fuelled violence. The meeting drew a full house and also highlighted the high rate of incidents in Byron Bay compared to other areas. However the town’s liquor accord chairperson Hannah Spalding says that the industry’s self-imposed measures are now taking effect and wouldn’t necessarily stop after the review later in the year. Cr Spooner told The Echo, ‘Council will be asking the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA) to review extended trading liquor licences currently operating

in Byron Bay. This means any aftermidnight liquor licences. This is to ascertain what is in the community’s best interests, given the overwhelming number of harmful incidents occur at that time of night. Council has also recommended that there be a freeze on the granting of any new extended trading liquor licences while the review is undertaken.’ But despite the vote being unanimous, opinions were divided during debate. Cr Sol Ibrahim acknowledged problems, but objected, ‘to the way it’s being addressed.’ ‘When there are risks, we weigh

them up. I don’t see the Last Drinks at 12 people representing the people affected – they are not out at these times. I go out late at night and have not been at risk. It’s a simplistic view. I want to drink after midnight… We need more police presence and compliance by licensees.’ And Cr Chris Cubis asked if there had been enough consultation with youth, business and the liquor accord. ‘What will the kids do? Where will they go – to the beach, the park? We know that there are some that want to shut down parts of the tourism industry… but we

haven’t done our bit. This will affect the town’s economy.’ However mayor Simon Richardson reminded councillors the motion was not an endorsement of the Last Drinks at 12 group. ‘Instead, it shows support for a precinct and recommends a freeze on extending hours.’ In morning public access at Thursday’s meeting, Last Drinks at 12 representatives asked Council to support the group’s aims, saying their evidence suggests that for every hour earlier a venue ceases the serving of alcohol, physical assaults decrease by approximately 17 per cent.

Byron’s week of peaceful protest A small but dedicated group of activists took to Main Beach, Byron Bay, last Sunday morning to take part in the worldwide protest against the annual Japanese dolphin slaughter which is now underway. And on Thursday at Main Beach, the sunset drumming circle held their own united nations gathering, with musicians and dancers from Mauritius, Japan, Spain, Chile, Israel, India, Uruguay, Greece, Italy and Indonesia. Activist Harsha Prabhu told The Echo, ‘What is happening in Syria is a tragedy and it’s important that the UN be given time to find out the truth.’ ‘And it’s not just chemical weapons we should be concerned about. It’s all weapons, including depleted uranium, white phosphorous and cluster bombs.’

21 years of herbs celebrated

The Byron Bay Herb Nursery celebrated 21 years with an open day on Saturday. About 400 visitors came to enjoy the gardens and look at the hard work being done by the staff.

Roundhouse tender announced The Ocean Shores Roundhouse has moved closer to being sold after Council voted last Thursday to award the tender to M Bashforth & Sons to subdivide the property. It comes despite a lastminute attempt by Jan Mangleson from the Roundhouse Action Group (RAG) to buy the 1.4ha prime real estate and develop it as an arts and cultural centre for community use while selling some of the land to pay for it. At Thursday’s open public access, Mrs Mangleson asked Council for 60 days to produce a financial plan. ‘We’re serious about this… we are looking at how to save it. We took on the advice from the mayor, who said he would consider selling it to the community at 70 per cent of the expected price.’ Later in debate, councillors weighed up the possible costs in delaying the sale and allowing RAG to produce its plans.

netdaily.net.au

Council’s executive manager of water and recycling, Phil Warner, advised councillors that delays could see the ‘status of the tenders being impacted’ on and a possible price increase.

Tick season upon us

Proposal rejected General manager Ken Gainger also added that the recently adopted Financial Sustainability Project Plan that saw the establishment of the Infrastructure Renewal Fund reserve, was predicated upon the sale of developed allotments on the Roundhouse site. ‘The sale of the Roundhouse blocks will see the funds invested back into priority works in the north of the Shire. Delayed works, increased costs, or a reduced price could see less funds available for the priority works. Mr Gainger added that securing $2.5 million within 60 days was unlikely.

Ticks are now active, so now’s the time to get your animals checked. Byron Bay veterinarian Dr Grigg says prevention goes a long way. ‘All dogs should have a short haircut in springtime so you can find the ticks,’ he says, and use a ‘combination of tick collars and external

and internal medications.’ He says the underlying rule is that nothing is 100 per cent safe. Pet owners should run their hands over the dog’s body every day and pull ticks off. ‘People worry about killing ticks first and twisting it the right way. That is all fallacy. Just pull the thing off. Get your fingernails as close to the skin as you can and pull.’

Sports field wrapped in reports Hans Lovejoy

Residents pushing for a sports field in the Shire’s north, frustrated at Council’s lack of action, have been dealt more delays after all councillors voted to explore five sites and engage a recreation consultant at last Thursday’s meeting. The decision reflects a staff recommendation. Staff noted in Council’s agenda that earmarked Billinudgel land has ‘repeatedly’ been recommended as ‘being unsuitable for the purposes of sports fields [and the site] has no guarantees of success in the proposed rezoning process.’ It comes despite Council being in negotiations with

the landowners for the last 18 months. Additionally, in Council’s morning public access on Thursday, Ocean Shores Soccer Club president Mark Patten said he supports the Billinudgel site and ‘implored’ Council to act, while resident Rob Crossley told councillors and staff that with minimal cost, drainage could address potential flooding. Michael Sherington, who described himself as the ‘default public spokesman for the New Brighton Village Association and South Golden Beach Progress Association’ blasted the decision, telling The Echo, ‘The majority of the other alternatives have been shown to be significantly con-

strained by various ecological, coastal erosion, flooding, traffic, village amenity issues etc.’ He said that a vote for the Billinudgel site by all councillors and community members at a meeting 18 months ago was unanimous. ‘Billinudgel offers the only real solution for long-term expansion. All other alternative sites do not offer any expansion in the future.’

Comparisons needed: mayor But mayor Simon Richardson defended the delay and said, ‘As a new council, we are committed to new sports fields in the north of the Shire but we need to

look at each of the potential sites, side by side. To date, this has not been done. Staff have concerns about flooding at the Billinudgel site and there may be constraints at the other proposed sites. ‘But we need an independent expert to look at them side by side.’ And while Council says it would need to find approximately $1 million for the Billinudgel site, Mr Sherington says, ‘we were told [by Council] they wanted to put $1.5m of fill on the entire site to get it out of the flood zone. ‘The council staff have been offered pro-bono services and support from the local community and to date have been stonewalled.

Karen (and Lions) out to fund doctors Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Lions Club are at it again, raising money for medical research and running the Lions Medical Research Personality Quest. The quest is not only about raising funds; it also provides an invaluable experience for women who choose to become entrants. The Brunswick Mullumbimby Lions Club’s representative this year in the quest is 19-year-old Karen Beaumont from Mullumbimby. Karen is looking forward to the year’s event but was a little apprehensive at first. ‘I was a bit nervous about doing public speaking’, says Karen. ‘I won public speaking at primary school, but that was a quite few years ago. I am really excited about doing the events.’ The aim of the Personality Quest is to raise money but it also aims to increase awareness in the greater community of the wonderful work that volunteer Lions Club members perform. Lions clubs in Queensland and northern

Entrants will go to the preliminary finals in May, where one entrant becomes the Personality winner and another becomes the Charity winner. Both entrants go into the Grand Final held later in the year. But for Karen, she is more interested to see if she can raise some helpful funds. ‘The Lions Medical Research Foundation helps to pay wages for three medical research doctors per year’, says Karen. ‘It is my focus as an entrant to raise money to help fund these doctors.’

quest entrant. ‘I’m currently raffling a family pass to Australia Zoo, drawn September 14 at a barbecue outside Woolworths, a car observation Rally on October 20, a street stall on October 31 and a car wash at Tygarah Liberty on November 24. I have other interesting things planned for next year including a ball.’

Book launch on Julia explores media ‘white anting’ Two senior press gallery journalists will take part in a book launch discussion at Mary Ryan’s Bookshop in Byron Bay on the eve of the federal election. Kerry-Anne Walsh, a member of the Canberra Press Gallery for the past 25 years, will talk about her book The Stalking of Julia Gillard.

Subtitled, How the media and Team Rudd contrived to bring down the Prime Minister, Ms Walsh is highly critical of the press gallery’s anti-Gillard coverage and the white-anting of her administration by inspired press ‘leaks’. She believes that during the destabilisation of the Gillard government, ‘Every

rule in the handbook of good journalism was broken,’ and that many journalists became ‘active players’ in the unfolding intrigue instead of remaining reporters. She will discuss her book with Alex Mitchell, a former president of the NSW Parliamentary Press Gallery and a veteran state political commentator.

Mitchell, now a resident of Tweed Shire, and Ms Walsh, previously worked on Sydney’s Sun-Herald and coauthored a weekly column called The Naked Eye. Mary Ryan’s Bookshop is located at Fletcher Street, Byron Bay, and the event is on Friday, September 6, 5.30pm for 6pm start. Discussion followed by Q&A.

Schmaltz and bravado won’t save Labor

Volume 28 #13

September 3, 2013

The carbon tax myth examined One bright note of this election, perhaps the only, was the development of fact checking organisations, one of which is run by theconversation.com. The site examines the interesting question: ‘will scrapping the carbon price lower electricity prices?’ According to author Dylan McConnell from Melbourne University’s Energy Institute, removing the carbon tax would result in a reduction in electricity prices of ‘around five per cent, with an upper boundary of about 10 per cent.’ But he points to an example from Victoria in recent years, where transmission costs went up 27 per cent, distribution by 11 per cent and retail costs by 17 per cent. ‘These components are independent of the carbon price, and account for the majority of hikes in retail electricity prices. ‘It’s worth remembering too that even without the carbon price, electricity prices are predicted to rise. Climate Change Authority research suggests that without the carbon price, the rise would with be slightly smaller, with retail electricity prices just six per cent lower.’ Additionally, ABC TV’s Australian Story recently ran a great yarn entitled ‘Corridors Of Power’ which exposed ‘gold plating’ by the NSW government owned electricity transmission company, TransGrid. Gold plating is building unnecessary projects and in this case, 330,000 volt electric power lines were earmarked for the Manning Valley in NSW as part of a large-scale state expansion. In response to the plans, Manning Valley farmer Bruce Robertson helped create the Manning Alliance and sparked a senate inquiry which backed his claims of gold plating. People power overcame corporate interests and the project was abandoned. ‘[Gold plating] was the single largest cause of the electricity price rises that consumers had experienced in Australia,’ says Robertson. What other half truths are being presented as fact? Hopefully in coming years, fact checking organisations will develop further and investigative journalism will continue to prevent truth being the first casualty of politics. Hans Lovejoy, editor

o this is where the story really starts – or at least where it was meant to start: a rousing speech from a resurgent and confident Kevin Rudd to set the ALP on track for a famous victory. The problem is that it was not meant to come after four interminable weeks of a campaign which was at best desultory and at worst preposterous; when the polls showed that what had been an even money race was rapidly turning into a defeat of Gillard-like proportions; where Rudd had become less desired by the voters than Tony Abbott, and was even in danger of losing his own seat. And he woke on the fateful Sunday to a doleful dawn chorus: every paper in the country wanted him gone. The Murdoch press led the way of course: the Sydney Sunday Telegraph’s front page proclaimed simply, ‘Australia needs Tony’. And the rest followed obediently. But even the Fairfax Sydney Sun-Herald and Melbourne Sunday Age, though not too happy about the Abbott alternative, agreed that Rudd’s time was up. In the circumstances he could have been forgiven for giving the Brisbane convention centre a miss and retreating to the holiday house on the Sunshine Coast, but Rudd, whatever his faults, is not afraid of a stoush; indeed adversity seems to bring out the best in him. And so it was when his wife Therese summoned him to the stage amid the applause, hopes, and yes, affection of the true believers. The setting was more intimate than that of Abbott’s opening, which in itself provided a less formal, more cheerful look; and the audience also seemed a bit less artificial:

certainly they were a lot more varied in looks, attire and age. Anthony Albanese had given them a good warm-up with some forceful Abbott-bashing, including, somewhat inscrutably, the line: ‘Tony Abbott is no John Howard’. Then Therese Rein came on to introduce her husband with obviously genuine warmth. It was schmaltz, but it was considered schmaltz; rather more convincing than Abbott’s daughters the week before. And she invited Kevin up to say g’day to Australia. It was a good and gutsy per-

voter in Australia could have been inside that room, they would have been caught up in it. But of course they weren’t; very few were even watching it or listening to it. As just about everyone now agrees, it was too late. That speech should have been given a week ago, probably two weeks ago, possibly three weeks ago. As it was, Labor has lost the momentum and there are just not enough days left to get it back. The result is all but locked in. Next morning’s poll seemed to confirm the verdict: Labor’s primary vote has collapsed to

Rudd brought the campaign back to basics: his program for jobs versus Abbott’s program for cuts. by Mungo MacCallum formance, probably his best of the campaign. He invoked Labor’s history of reform, giving credit to all his predecessors including Julia Gillard: the theme was ‘That’s what Labor governments do’. He provided some real meat with new commitments to small business, apprentices, Australian participation in big overseas run projects and TAFE colleges. He brought the campaign back to basics: his program for jobs versus Abbott’s program for cuts. And of course there was plenty of bravado: if Abbott thought he had already won, he hadn’t seen anything yet. Don’t underestimate Labor’s will to fight, his will to fight: ‘We can prevail and we will prevail,’ he thundered, getting a touch biblical. It was good and gutsy stuff; it had Paul Keating applauding and Bob Hawke murmuring wistfully that if only every

33 per cent, and on a two party preferred basis the coalition is leading by eight points – landslide territory. Of course the poll was taken before Rudd’s speech, but it still looked pretty decisive. And Abbott is now openly coasting. Not only his costings, but his candidates are now locked away from the public. The recluse of Lindsay, Jaymes Diaz, has been joined by many others in the isolation ward, barred not only from the terrible media but from all public events. As for the costings, they remain as distant and mysterious as ever. Abbott now claims triumphantly that last week’s intervention by Treasury Secretary Martin Parkinson was an implicit statement that the coalition costings are accurate. It wasn’t and it isn’t, but Abbott has used this as an excuse to delay any further release of the figures until after the elec-

tronic advertising blackout begins at midnight on Wednesday – too late for any serious scrutiny and certainly too late to change a lot of votes. Abbott’s latest killer line is, of course, negative: ‘Do you want to risk another three years like the last three?’ The assumption is that the last three years have been an utter disaster: financial crisis facing the country and everyone in it. In fact Australia’s enviable economic position has been spelt out often enough: few nations in the industrialised world are doing as well and none are doing better. And it now appears that much the same applies to families and individuals: in defiance of all the complaints about cost of living pressures, the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling at the University of Canberra has found that disposable income had increased over the Labor years by an average of 2.6 per cent – precisely the same as the figure of the boom years of John Howard and Peter Costello. But politics is all about perception, and it appears that Tony Abbott’s remorseless campaign of gloom and doom has become the received wisdom. When we have plenty of good reasons to be cheerful and optimistic, we are determined to look on the dark side of life, and to blame our unhappiness on the usual scapegoats. And so it will be that the Rudd government, having come into office with high hopes and boundless optimism, will go out in a cloud of confusion, disappointment and resentment. And that’s what Labor governments do. Q See Mungo’s video at

Alcohol and partying in the Bay Q I was disappointed to see that the meeting on August 24 in the Byron Community Centre calling for Last Drinks at 12 only got a small paragraph on page 7 (Echo, August 27), and it was reported that solutions from an invited panel were heard ‘despite claims that measures introduced by the town’s liquor accord are taking effect’. Well, anyone can make claims but surely good reporting requires evidence, and there was plenty of damning and distressing evidence presented at the meeting to show that further action is needed, evidence which your readers might have found interesting. The Echo also failed to mention that the ‘invited panel’ included local doctors, a cranio-facial surgeon, police, and health and youth workers. One of the speakers spoke of the very successful Newcastle early-closing campaign and presented irrefutable evidence that alcohol-related violence dramatically decreases

Rail trail I wish to thank all the supporters of the rail trail who have given their time and enthusiasm for this terrific project. With the feasibility study announced on August 23 by Don Page, we are feeling very positive that we may one day have a rail trail! The northern rivers will get the facelift it needs with a beautiful corridor once more restored for local people and tourists to use. Smaller communities will have opportunities to come alive again, with many cyclists and walkers visiting their towns. Jobs will be created and new businesses will emerge. School kids

I need to respectfully take issue with Subhi Awad’s comments (Letters August 27). Blanket statements regarding other causes of injury other than those associated with alcohol, particularly in young people, need a base in evidence. While other causes of injury are certainly acknowledged, the National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) suggests a large

will be able to ride or walk to school in many areas across the region. I feel this could be part of the ‘Byron Solution’ – encouraging healthy activities and tourism rather than the alcohol-related violence that has dominated Byron streets in the last few years. People will come here to ‘ride the trail’ and potentially spend three or four days exploring our beautiful area, staying in bed and breakfasts, frequenting cafes and restaurants and stopping in the townships along the way. We have a lot of work ahead of us, so if you would like to be part of this wonder-

proportion of emergency department presentations, be it from illness or injury, have an association with excessive alcohol consumption. The National Binge Drinking Campaign statistics speak for themselves and it is important to realise that the most common types of alcoholattributable death are suicide, road injuries and assaults in young people aged 15–24 years. Additionally, research suggests that regular drinking in adolescence is an important factor for development of dependent and risky patterns of use into young adulthood. Words like ‘nanny state’ have been bandied about in the media. We are already living in a ‘nanny state’ when there is a societal expectation that government services such as police, ambulance and health will, as Subhi Awad so aptly puts it, ‘wrap people in cotton wool’, after alcohol misuse, rather than people taking responsibility for their own behaviours.

Surely a middle path that is mindful of the NHMRC Australian guidelines of four standard drinks on a single occasion for healthy men and women makes sense when trying to grapple with the both the immediate and lifetime risks of excessive alcohol consumption. I wonder why the writer, whose address is New Brighton, is keen to embrace Byron Bay as an ‘important and world-famous party town’. Is it to keep the problems associated with alcohol misuse isolated to a town other than their own? There are other facets of my beloved town that I would rather promote, such as the glorious sea, amazing topography and fantastic native flora and fauna. The sooner excessive alcohol consumption is taken off the list of ‘must dos’ in Byron Bay, the better it will be for residents of and visitors to the town. Elizabeth McCall Byron Bay

Punters have their last say before the voting begins

n Before we all roll over and vote for the new-image Abbott let’s remember it was only several months ago when he was relentlessly abusing Julia Gillard as a woman and denigrating the office of prime minister. His mantra is ‘trust me’. He and his team refuse to be interviewed about his policies and costings. Well, I don’t trust a party that treats the electorate as fools. Abbott’s party initially did not support the NDIS scheme, education reforms, mining tax and all the reforms Labor was able to get through parliament. We have no guarantees that they will honour education or the NDIS.

I don’t like Rudd. But I will vote for the Labor party as they support egalitarian policies. Fair and equitable access to education for our kids, better healthcare and support for the most vulnerable. Hockey talks of waste by Labor. The halls, libraries, new classrooms now in every school in our region are something to celebrate. A vote for Abbott is to let loose the thuggish behaviour he has exhibited these past years on the electorate. Think carefully and vote wisely!

natives to the current infestation of neoliberalism (free market economic policy) from the main political parties. There is no doubt we will be looking at an Abbott conservative government, which in effect will see an acceleration, in the way of austerity measures on working people. Businesses are baying for more ‘flexibility’ from the workforce, and the Abbott government will change the Fair Work regulations in an attempted sleight-of-hand to bring back a ‘Work Choices’ style of industrial relations. Likewise the environmental regulations will be wound back, relaxed to allow businesses greater opportunity to expand, and grow at the expense of the environment. The Labor Party is to blame for this rightward shift in Australian politics, and don’t deserve our vote. The conservatives, on the other hand, are driven by values of competitiveness and profit making, at any expense, irrespective of what spurious argument they make. For both major parties the ‘market’ reigns supreme.

All this waffle about the people’s democracy and new paradigms for living by some local practitioners is another middle-class distraction that has no bearing on the realpolitik of today’s world. Boyd Kellner Newrybar

n With a carbon price of $24 a tonne and rising, our emissions are predicted to rise by 13 per cent by 2020, and changing the price to something like $6 a tonne won’t help. Reports from the real world (Nature, January 3, p35) suggest that to have a 60 per cent chance of limiting temperature rises to 2°C would require a global carbon price of $60 a tonne to be implemented by 2015. Delaying implementation to 2020 means a carbon price of $150 a tonne would be needed to have the same effect. The reason is that our politicians have spent the last 25 years doing as little as possible to reduce emissions, and now it is almost too late to avoid dangerous climate change. Our major party politicians seem to be living in a bubble of climate change denial, and only the Greens are taking the problem seriously. To protect our planet and society for future generations we should put the Greens first and the coalition last on September 7. Matthew Lambourne Mullumbimby

Despite all of the five candidates present at the Ocean Shores Meet The Candidates saying they are against coal seam gas exploration in the northern rivers, the Palmer United Party and the socalled independent Kevin Skinner put the Greens, the only party with a ‘leave it in the ground’ policy, second last on their how-to-vote forms, with the Nationals putting them last.

n I’m reluctantly writing to warn CSG-concerned voters next Saturday that if they vote No 1 for the Stop Coal Seam Gas party above the line on

the Senate ballot paper, they are unwittingly giving their preferences to a raft of singleissue micro-parties that make no mention of CSG in their policy platforms and seem to be running against appropriate government regulation, ahead of the Greens who have a strong record of campaigning and voting to support the community against CSG. Go figure! I’ll be voting No 1 above the line for the Greens to ensure my vote doesn’t go to any neo-Nazi, white supremacist party! Sue Vader Mullumbimby n The polls indicate that in a matter of days, Australia will enter the ‘Abbott era’ and the loss of many things we hold dear – care for the poor, industrial relations fairness, equity in schooling, human rights for desperate refugees (already condemned by the UN and making us a pariah worldwide). Unrestricted CSG mining, coal port expansion on the Great Barrier Reef and complete denial of the enormous climate threat are also on the horizon. The only possible hope now is for The Greens to hold the balance of power in the Senate. Abbott only needs to win three more Senate seats to have absolute control of both houses of parliament. If this happens, Abbott will be able to legislate whatever he wants. Statistically, Labor cannot win enough seats to moderate Abbott in the Senate. In NSW, the last Senate seat will be a toss-up between The Greens and Pauline Hanson, or The Shooters Party. It’s a stark choice and one voters need to think about very carefully, otherwise we may end up with far-right parties with extremist policies doing deals to help pass Abbott’s agenda through the Senate. The Greens have a vision for Australia and the courage to stand up for issues that matter. We need more Greens in parliament to stop the excesses of an Abbott government. Graeme Williams Mullumbimby

I have just listened to Alan Jones talking with Barnaby Joyce. Interestingly, they talked about the sale of our country’s assets to overseas countries. Cubby Station, with enough water to fill Sydney Harbour, now belongs to China. The Chinese consortium

which bought Cubby Station could (thanks to the Labor Party, and Justine Elliott was party to this) have bought the same amount of our country again and again, except for the Lib/Nats stepping in and reducing the amount they could purchase to $15 million from $224 million. Swedish consortiums, Qatar, China and others now own a lot of our nation. When is enough enough? When it is too late and we own zilch? Barnaby Joyce said he made a lot of noise over the sale of Cubby Station but no one listened and he didn’t get very far. What does it matter who governs the country if we don’t own it and what if those that own the country then go ahead and start mining and exporting our minerals and can start extracting coal seam gas? What say will we have? If the Labor Party can change the laws to allow a massive sell-off like Cubby Station, then what else could happen? We are being hoodwinked by the focus on CSG, while the Labor Party sells our assets from under our noses. Wake up, for goodness sake, before it is too late. What other country allows their assets to be sold off? Di Woods Brunswick Heads Once again we are to go through the ritual we call our democratic right, a passingon of our responsibility for the government of our country, by the people for the people. Once again by voting, we proclaim that our will is to be governed by our representatives in what is considered the best the world has to offer, representative democracy. We do this even though so few of us, particularly those who read this paper, actually feel represented no matter who gets elected. We think the best we can hope for is that the party that gains power will be our preferred one and will at least save us from the unthinkable alternative. The only way for the people of Australia to get the government they deserve and to care for the future of our children is to take back the responsibility for governing ourselves and write a new constitution that empowers all of us by creating a means of government of the people, by and for the people, utilising the technologies of the 21st century.

Is it the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;voidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nothingnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, or is it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? If it is spirit, is there one big beautiful glossy spirit, or is there a quagmire there too? Peter Duke Byron Bay

A duty of care â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If there are over 600 holiday lets in Byron Shire, prosecuting them at $50K each would send the council brokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thus spake one of the councillors at their recent meeting with the Victims of Holiday Letting (Echo, August 13). Unfortunately this is the level of rhetoric from some of our elected reps. They spout inanities like this because they have a conflicted understanding of the matter and are desperate not to make any â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;courageousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decisions. The prime aim of the VOHL was to convince the councillors (Woods and Cameron missing) that they needed to continue legal action against a holiday let in order to get a judicial decision to formally verify the current LEP. It was pointed out that this was essential to

reinforce their position with the holiday-let lobby, which consistently maintains its activities are legal, despite the clear wording in the LEP. Although examples of the plight of the victims were clearly and starkly presented, some councillors seemed very anxious to turn the discussion into a forum on ways to accommodate the illegal practice. Well, there may be some stratagem agreed in the future but the council has a duty of care to address illegalities immediately to reduce the extreme stress levels of its long-suffering, HL-blighted residents. A judicial finding will further underpin compliance action and put the council in a stronger position if negotiations eventually take place. Tom Tabart Bangalow

Clean-up costs Ian Macfarlane, governor of the Reserve Bank for most of the Howard years, has pointed out in his book, The Search for Stability, that short-term interest rates in the 1970s and early 1980s were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;higher in December 1985 (HawkeKeating government), even higher in April 1982 (FraserHoward) and briefly so in

May 1974 (Whitlam)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The reforms, mostly when Keating was treasurer, started the long period of stability that we have now. So Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, with some fluctuations due to the global situation, is now largely independent of government and should not be the major focus of the current election. Of much more significance within a few decades will be global warming and the related problem of world over-population. Australia, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest per capita greenhouse gas emitter, has a huge responsibility due to its wealth and stability to not only contribute but lead. As with all waste products, there has to be a cost associated with their clean-up and we cannot pretend otherwise. Of the three proposed schemes, an ETS is clearly the cheapest and most effective while Direct Action is by far the most convoluted and expensive. The latter may not be a big new tax but it will require an even bigger impost on normal taxation revenues with either large increases within the current tax system or a huge and unacceptable reduction in essential services.

Byron Region Community College

celebrates Adult Learnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Week

Adult Learnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Week is part of an international festival of learning, celebrated in more than 55 countries around the world. Each year, Adult Learnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Week in Australia (1st â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8th September) is celebrated with hundreds of events nationally designed to celebrate the beneďŹ ts of learning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the home, at work and in the community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to highlight the range of adult learning options available for all Australians. Byron Community College Director Richard Vinycomb said that Adult Learnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Week is a time for people to reďŹ&#x201A;ect on their own learning journey and where it has taken them. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I am often amazed by the journeys some of our students take in the time they spend with us,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Richard. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Adult education really does have the power to change lives, right here across the Shire. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people who have retrained for new careers and businesses, learners who have found their feet in the local community through attending our courses, and students discovering new

creative talents. In the past 12 months there are over 2,000 people whose lives have been enriched in some way by their choice of learning experience with us.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From Social Media to Silversmithing, Bike Maintenance to Barista and Basket Weaving to Backyard Chooks, Adult Learnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Week is the perfect time to call or come down to our campus in Mullumbimby or Byron Bay to rediscover what it is all about, and then perhaps with a choice of over 100 courses, to begin your own learning journey,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Richard. Byron Community College is celebrating Adult Learnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Week with the publication of just a small sample of the many wonderful transformative student stories that have been sent into us as part of our Adult Learners Week.

First Prize I have just done a couple of courses in weaving and cheesemaking. They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sent me into a career, made me money, created a business opportunity or produced a serious hobby... but each course has the potential to open doors and give colour and depth to people who challenge themselves to learn something new. For me, the courses are a Pandoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Box of unknowable outcomes. That gives them the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; factor for me. The extreme variety is unmatched and just reading the courses often gives me delight in the thought of discovering untapped talents. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Susie Burns, Mermaid Waters Second Prize Since completing a Travel Writing course with Kim Wildman and a Photoshop for Beginners course with Gerhard Veit at Byron Community College, I have gone on to write, design and self-publish three guidebooks to the

There is no doubt the quality of my publications owes much to the training that you provided.

They saw me recording and wanted to take the phone. I hung onto it for dear life because of the video I just took and because it was Kashif ’s phone with all his photos and videos of Egypt on it. They finally got it out of my hands, gunshots still going off all around me. I kept saying it is not my phone, I need to get it back. Hard to explain to them. They led me to the police station – still gunshots going off everywhere. As I walked up the stairs to the police station, one of them kicked me in the chest from the top of the stairs. It didn’t hurt because there was so much adrenaline pumping. The swarm of people around me were very forceful, no forgiveness. They all seemed to hate me. I couldn’t even open the phone because it had Kashif ’s password, but they thought I was lying.

Things were just so out of control. Then I saw Kashif looking very worried at the bottom of our apartment block. The guy then followed me to him. Kashif had to get our passports. Both our visas had expired, oops. Then I was taken to the police station with the password. The police put the password in and opened up the video of the military man firing at people. They said they were going to delete all of Kashif ’s photos and video; they were trying to mess with me. They deleted the video I filmed out of our apartment window of people hiding behind walls from the gunshots. Then they said they were They patted me down very forcefully and really squeezed my dick and balls on purpose. They love this power. I finally got it into their heads that we needed Kashif to open the

After some time they handed back our passports, Kashif’s phone and the money from my pocket. I walked back to the apartment. Most of the gunfire had settled down. When I got back, all Kashif said was, ‘You’ll never learn, man. You’ll just never learn.’ Cairo is such a busy city, but for days after this there was just no-one on the streets. All the shops were shut. Now there is a curfew and you can’t go out after 7pm.

Egypt Islamists rally Cairo 31/08/13 [AFP]

Several thousand Egyptians have protested in Cairo in support of ousted president Mohamed Morsi, far fewer than had been hoped for by harried Islamists, who had called for mass rallies. In the capital’s Nasr City district, thousands marched holding pictures of those killed in days of violent clashes with police this month during a security crackdown on the Islamists. The Islamists held smaller rallies elsewhere, some descending into clashes with anti-Morsi protesters that left two people dead in the canal city of Port Said and the Nile Delta town

of Zagazig, medics said. Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, the main group organising protests, has lost its ability to bring people out in large numbers because of sweeping arrests that have netted its top leaders among at least 2,000 Islamists since August 14. That day, police broke up two pro-Morsi protest camps in Cairo. More than 1,000 people died in clashes during that operation and ensuing violence around the country. In Nasr City, one protester, Noha Galal, a housewife, said, ‘We are not here for the Muslim Brotherhood or Morsi, but for democracy, and for the sake of our wasted votes.’

I decided to go check it out with Kashif and film it on his phone. We walked out of the lobby where people were hiding and we filmed people throwing stones and ran right into it to get closer shots. Kashif ran back inside. Then I filmed a military guy in front of me with an AK-47 shooting at people, about ten metres away from me. I believe they were shooting at the Muslim Brotherhood. Before I knew it, a swarm of people were around me and I was pushed to the ground. One guy had my head to the road with his boot. I was holding on tightly to the phone as they all try to

ECHO BEACH

SURFBOARDS Q&A

WITH LOCAL SHAPERS WAYNE ‘WEBBY’ WEBSTER AND GUNTHER ROHN

WHAT DESIGNS DO YOU THINK WORK BEST ON THE NORTH COAST? WEBBY: The beauty of the north coast and surfing in general today is the diversity and options available in surfboard designs and waves. Whether your thing is high-performance boards or single fins on our point breaks to wide, quad fish designs and longboards on our beaches there are plenty to choose from. Generally it’s smaller beach break waves so whatever your board to keep surfing fun in those conditions is the go. GUNTHER: The designs that seem to work best on average on the north coast are semi-stubby shortish and semi fishy type of boards.

Wayne ‘Webby’ Webster is shaping boards in Ballina these days. He has 23 years experience and has made boards in Hawaii, Europe and the UK, as well as in Australia. His passion is surﬁng and shaping.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS YOU GO THROUGH WITH A SURFER WHEN DECIDING WHAT DESIGN WILL WORK BEST? WEBBY: I really enjoy getting a good personal understanding with a customer and learning about what they like in a board, the locations and conditions they like to surf etc. Surﬁng’s such a personal sport that it’s nice to keep the personal element involved in the process. End of the day I love what I do and watching people enjoy my boards in the water. GUNTHER: The last board you surfed and owned – what you like about it and what you think could be improved on for yourself. Where you are going to surf the most. Height and weight are always very important in deciding dimensions. WHY IS THE NORTH COAST A GREAT PLACE TO BE A SHAPER? WEBBY: Like the ﬁrst question, the diversity. One for the range of locations and second the general excitement in a lot of people to surf. You can have anyone from a world tour surfer to a father and son out at most of the breaks around here on any given day.

MOD ROCKER Length: 5’3 Width: 19 3/4 Thickness: 2 5/16 The MOD ROCKER is my new fish mode. It’s all about keeping Summer fun. This board has a lot of volume and flow for its length and works well with a 3, 4 or 5 fin set-up.

LSD CUBBY CHEDDAR

Luke Short (LSD) has worked along side Maurice Cole, Rod Dahlberg, Simon Anderson and Al Merrick. Luke is now creating his own unique designs and is a part of the next generation of shapers who are taking advantage of new technologies available.

Gunther Rohn has been shaping for the worlds best and local & international surfers for over 40 years. Having an acute eye for detail has ensured constant and consistent form in his boards. Gunther is very hands on in his approach to it all. It has remained his philosophy to this day. It’s hard to think of another shaper that has had such continuity in the industry for such a continuous period of time.

Length: 5’8 – 6’8 Width: 19 1/8 – 20 3/4 Thickness: 2 5/16 – 2 7/8 A favourite of Julian Wilson, a ‘performancehybrid’, and should be ridden at least two inches shorter than your standard high performance short board. And if push comes to shove, the design will hold its own in overhead surf as well.

Being exposed to that on a regular basis is pretty inspiring as a shaper. The level of surﬁng from your average surfer on the north coast is amazingly high, so feedback from my customers and team alike is invaluable. GUNTHER: Well, we get great surf and variety on average. Good to test board design in. The weather’s great most of the time as well. HOW HAS SURFBOARD DESIGN CHANGED SINCE YOU FIRST STARTED SHAPING? WEBBY: Well computers and machines are involved in the process nowadays which is the big one. But outside of that the most noticeable change is they have increased in width and gained extra nose area to give greater paddling power to the length of a board. GUNTHER: It’s changed immeasurably. The reﬁnements have been immense but the old principles we learnt from the past 40, 50 years ago for the most part still apply. We often combine design concepts from the past with the new. It comes down to ‘balance’.

STUNT DINGO Length: 5’10 Width: 18 5/8 Thickness: 2 1/4 The STUNT DINGO is quickly becoming my most popular Shortboard. Fast, loose and drivey, it’s a perfect all rounder for Summer. Works well with all tail shapes.

1/13 Clark St, Ballina NSW 2478 www.webstersurfboards.com.au info@webstersurfboards.com.au Tel 0416 049 205

SIMON ANDERSON FACE DANCER Length: 5’9 – 6’10 Width: 18 5/8 – 20 3/8 Thickness: 2 1/8 – 21 1/16

GREG WEBBER DOUBLE DIAMOND

High performance small wave quad option all rounder for waves 1 to 5 feet. Medium nose and tail rocker with deep single concave to a slight vee right on the tail to assist quad rail to rail control.

Small wave board with range that paddles well, drives over the dead sections, and can also fit into the pocket & the 5 fin configuration extends on its versatility

COMPRESSOR Length: 5’8 – 6’3 Width: 18 1/4 – 19 1/4 Thickness: 2 – 2 1/2

ICYCOOL Length: 5’6 – 6’4 Width: 18 3/4 – 19 3/4 Thickness: 2 1/4 – 2 3/4

Compressor is a high performance surfboard. The board should be ordered slightly shorter and wider. I adjust the nose and tail measurements to keep the board fast loose and positive.

The performance brother of the Popsicool. Curvy outline, increased sweet spot straightens into a wider squash tail. Drive over skatiness.

Length: 5’4 – 7’0 Width: 19 1/4 – 22 1/2 Thickness: 2 1/8 – 2 7/8

POPSICOOL Length: 5’4 – 6’4 Width: 19 7/8 – 20 7/8 Thickness: 2 1/4 – 2 3/4

TURTLE Length: 5’8 – 7’0 Width: 19 – 21 Thickness: 2 3/16 – 3

V2 ROCKET FISH Length: 5’8 – 6’8 Width: 18 3/4 – 20 1/4 Thickness: 2 1/4 – 2 3/4

Curvy outline with a ﬂatish rocker, straightens into a most notable winged diamond tail. Small wave gem of a board. Fresh look for summer.

The curvy outline oversize round tail has the advantage of an improved turning arc allowing the surfer to plant the back foot to drive and carve the board around. Shorter and stubbier than the Turtle.

Bridges the gap between the Popsicool and the V2 Rocket Fish. Suited to the 4 or 5 ﬁn set up. Ordered longer perfect for an older surfer or somebody coming down from a mini mal. Latitude through a variety of sizes and conditions.

Perfect in small to medium size waves. V2 Rocket Fish should be ordered shorter and wider. Low boxy rails, medium rocker. Swallow Tail. The wide tail is very efﬁcient in small waves generating lots of speed.

HEALTH & BEAUTY HEALTHY TIPS ON TEMPEH FROM OUR NATUROPATH:

COSMETIC AND SKIN CANCER CLINIC

Tempeh originated in Indonesia and is traditionally made from cooked soybeans and a mould called Rhizopus. Byron Bay Tempeh specialises in soy-free tempeh, using either fava beans or chickpeas. Because of its fermented nature, it is high in natural probiotics and therefore easy to digest. Tempeh is 19.5 per cent protein, so if you are looking for a meat substitute, this is it! Also, traditionally made tempeh is a good source of B12, which means it is ideal for vegetarians and vegans. There are many ways to use tempeh in cooking but one of the easiest is to slice it thinly and pan fry in olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Add small amounts to salads, soups or vegies or DQ\ GLVK UHTXLULQJ Ă&#x20AC; DYRXU DQG H[WUD SURWHLQ See Sarah from Byron Bay Tempeh at the Mullum and New Brighton Farmers Markets for a taste of this delicious food and for more tempeh history and recipes, see our Facebook page.

BASED IN BYRON BAY’S FORESTED HINTERLAND, STARBOARD CANNONS IS THE CREATION OF ASH BELL AND MATT BONE. FUNDAMENTALLY AN ACOUSTIC DUO, ASH AND MATT HAVE BEEN WRITING AND PERFORMING TOGETHER SINCE 2009. DESCRIBED AS HAVING A STYLE ‘SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS AND THE AUSSIE BUSH’, STARBOARD CANNONS PUT SONGWRITING AT THE HELM, AND BACK IT UP WITH A SOLID LIVE PERFORMANCE. What do you think the benefit is of being a two-piece? We add and subtract other instrumentation as is required. It means we are not bound to the same mix of instruments and sounds for every song. Also we get to spend a heap of time together disagreeing. How does it change or influence your melody making, or composition? It means the world is our oyster! The compositions don’t rest on there being a full band, but the option is always there if we so desire. What do you look for in a good story? Why do you think the best ones are always a bit dark and twisted? I like finding the angle of a story that might be overlooked. To focus on the not-so-obvious perspective. The happy stories are boring. I like a bit of dirt and doom. Plus I think people (myself included) empathise with the downtrodden a bit more. How many narratives do you pick up in the pub? Is there still magic in the front bar? I have taken quite a few stories away from the pub. Mostly they are just a foundation for something with a bit of creative licence. The best thing about the pub is that stories tend to take on some extra bits and pieces when a few cold ones are involved. Does my job for me! Who are the musicians who sit at the top of your playlist? I’m all about songwriters and storytellers. Aussies like Jimmy Dowling, Liz Stringer and Jeff Lang are some of my favourites. Paul Simon, Ryan Adams, Justin Townes Earle and Joe Pug are at the top of my list for sure. What surprises you? I see so many local talented artists in this area who I consider to be world class, and it surprises me that they have not been exposed as the amazing performers they are. So much rubbish in the ‘charts’, and so much substance goes unacknowledged. What are you plans for the next 18 months? We’re looking to record another album next year. We have a number of festivals coming up this year. Just writing and arguing and doing what we do. What should we expect for your show at the Bangalow Bowlo? We haven’t done a local headline show like this for a while, so it’s going to be special. Matt has some pretty out-there ideas to make the show a bit different, so I’m looking forward to seeing how that goes. Some great guests, too, with local legend Jimmy Dowling kicking off the night. You never know what might happen at a Cannons show. Friday, Bangalow Bowling Club Doors 7.30pm / Show 8pm. Tix: Pre $17 (+bf) / Door $20. Available www.kupromotions.com.au and the venue.

See Mandy live at www.echonetdaily.net.au LOOKING FOR TWERK Every few years a new dance craze will make its way to the mainstream. In my mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day it was the twist. A provocative move where the boy or girl would keep their two feet together, hold the body stiff and squat and rotate a bit like a piston or the central agitating device in a washing machine. Who could forget the Bus Stop, or even the Nut Bush? A strange disco variation of some top favourite barn-dancing moves. Back in the 90s it was the Macarena. A sort of Spanishinspired hands-on healing, brain gym workout involving the arms. It was cutesy and had that added benefit of acting like a contraceptive as it rendered all adult dancers of the Macarena unfuckable. At least until you got home and performed the horizontal Macarena. The Chicken Dance has been a longtime favourite, and I have to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of mine. The Chicken Dance music or the Birdie Song, pumped out with the accordion set to ADHD, has always had this hypnotic quality where even those who despise the Chicken Dance to their core find it hard not to spring to their

feet and start using their arms to emulate small flapping wings. Not so long ago there was Krumping, a street dance characterised by free, expressive and highly energetic movement involving the arms, head, legs, chest and feet. Kind of like an epileptic fit where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swallow your tongue or fall over. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twerking. Where other fad dances tend to be non-gender-specific, the Twerk is generally done by women, although I did spot a bit of nasty footage the other day of Clive Palmer attempting a Twerk. It was not only visually distressing; it confirmed what I already thought of Palmer: that he was a bit of a Twerk-Off. Twerking is highly sexually provocative and involves a woman shaking her hips in an up-and-down bouncing motion causing the dancer to shake, wobble and jiggle. This butt thrusting and groin grinding happens in a low squatting stance. Legs apart, feet facing outward. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important, if you twerk without a solid base youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll either fall over or break your vagina. I have tried Twerking. At my pace and condition, my Twerk was a lot more like an exercise from a post-birth pelvic-floor restoration class than a highly sexualised â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;come take me from behind and fuck me on the floorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gyrating type gesture. If you think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being rude, then have a look at Twerking on YouTube; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually understating the sexual nature of the Twerk. The Twerk in my opinion is the equivalent to the upright cat tail, advertising or even offering the puckered pathway to possible pleasure.

LOCALS TICKETS FOR FALLS FESTIVAL BYRON BAY If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for something fun to do this New Years Eve, special single-day/night â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;localsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tickets (Byron Shire and South Tweed residents) are still available for the Falls Festival Byron Bay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going quickly. Snaffle yourself some Boogie Nights fun at byronbay.fallsfestival.com.au/locals. Locals can buy up to four tickets each and only the purchaser needs to be a local. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outside Byron Shire or South Tweed, general tickets go on sale at fallestival.com from 9am Wednesday. Local food and market stallholders are encouraged to apply to have a stall at Falls Festival Byron Bay through the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;work at fallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tab at www. I Got A Feeling fallsfestival.com.au.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen people Twerking and I reckon it should be legal to taser them. Or pepper spray. Or maybe just a bucket of water. All that thrusting? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little too much information. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for doing the Bus Stop and leaving it at that. If you have daughters, you are at risk of having a twerk-a-holic in your household. In fact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become so popular, particularly since Miley Cyrus twerked pornographically at the MTV awards the other night, that even Centrelink have incorporated it in a new range of programs called Twerk For The Dole. The Twerk is just another step towards reducing women in the music industry to singing lap dancers. I was watching the clip of Miley wondering how long itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take before young singers stop emulating sex in their dance moves and actually start having it. Kind of like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pornography: The Musicalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Nothing like two people grinding away while singing a duet. It might even make it easier to hit the high notes. Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something the movers and shakers of pop culture should twerk on.

No matter if you are a republican or a monarchist, the feat of Queen Elizabeth II in reigning for 60 years is amazing. It has occurred only once before in British history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in 1897 by Queen Victoria. To honour this anniversary, music will be performed by St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir under the direction of organist Warren Whitney. Some of the music used was sung at the Coronation 60 years ago and includes British music, in the best choral tradition, from the last 400 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Henry Purcell, Edward Elgar, John Rutter and many others. St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, Zadoc St, Lismore. 2pm Sunday, preceded by St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bellringers at 1pm and a Best of British slideshow with accompanying music at 1.30pm.

Rebecca says that native fruits stand up well as an alternative to other fruit and have all been tested and evaluated for their anti-oxidant comparison with blueberries. ‘All the fruits tested had higher levels than the blueberry’, she says.

Stars WITH LILITH

With winter ofﬁcially over and a trifecta of planets unleashing your inner organiser, this week brings a spring surge of streamlining, downsizing and decluttering…

E ARIES: This week’s about learning to enjoy working with limits and restrictions – whatever personal, interpersonal, health or financial constraints are operating. Making an exercise in frustration into something fun. Downplaying criticism, improving your services for others and attending to boring, necessary chores will all pay off bigtime. F TAURUS: Taurans love their stuff. But stuff doesn’t love you back, it just requires maintenance. This week needles you to lighten the weight of excess accumulation and while you’re on a roll, ditch that unhealthy habit, worn-out friendship or usedto-be-hot look that currently isn’t doing you any favours. G GEMINI: So what if people are itchy and scratchy, irritable and picky, defensive and argumentative – if everyone and their dog has opinions at variance with yours? So it can still be a healing week in the home zone if you use three key tools: patience, diplomacy and restraint. H CANCER: September’s a busy, active month of networking and collaborating with new business connections. So press your internal delete button on sentimental regrets, side-step bitchy gossip fests and don’t forget to count your blessings; if you don’t appreciate what you have, accumulating more won’t make you any happier.

I LEO: While Mars fires up your enthusiasm for progress, this week’s about assessing your assets and resources, about discrimination and strategy. Before you get carried away, ask yourself is this really worth expending your considerable skills and abilities on, or could they be used to better advantage elsewhere? J VIRGO: With Sun, Mercury and new moon in Virgo rebooting your mojo and slathering cream on your birthday pavlova, this is your time of year to pamper yourself and let others spoil you too. So make time for some favourite self-indulgences: massage, beauty treatments, shopping, a holiday, whatever… K LIBRA: If this week’s people express themselves with less finesse than you Venusians care for, softlysoftly responses can turn critical into cooperative and morph grizzly grumbles into something more magical. Despite interpersonal hiccups, there’s still valuable headway to be made by putting out feelers and sharing ideas. L SCORPIO: If Mars stirs up a fiery fricassee in your house of romance, acknowledge your part in whatever drama’s currently running and remember there’s always more than one solution to a problem. This week favours kind-hearted but hardheaded methods, plus a few necessary concessions to less stressful living.

matter how tough they are. That said, despite the apparent desirability of getting rid of the racist elements in the Constitution, personally, politically and legally, I am not sure that and merely recognising – whatever that means? – our first Australian brothers and sisters constitutionally would do the trick. It could even isolate and separate ‘us and them’, as it were, even further. What about absolutely the same rights for all bloody Australians… ? That said, acknowledging in the Preamble to the Constitution that we invaded an inhabited country in 1788 and ‘nicked it’ to make it a British colony might be a start. That was our first unacceptable racist act. Saying ‘sorry’ was the beginning of a reconciliation process – not the end! You and Ernie Dingo both have a bit of an Aussie iconic status. Is that a funny thing to live with? Does it ever become embarrassing or intrusive? Sorry for answering some of your questions with a question! Old professional habits die hard, I guess. But, what does iconic status mean? Everybody knows who you are and – rightly or wrongly, for GEORGE NEGUS IS ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S MOST better or worse – has an opinion about you, maybe? I reckon LOVED BROADCASTERS. LOVED FOR WHAT HAS my old mate Ernie would agree that if you’ve thrust yourself BEEN CALLED HIS ‘WARM, COMMON TOUCH’, into Australians’ homes, indeed their lives, via bloody television as often as he and I have over the past few decades, you have AS A JOURNALIST NEGUS HAS LONG BEEN THE to be pretty thin-skinned to find people’s interest in you either CHAMPION OF THE UNDERDOG, AND A VOICE OF ‘embarrassing or intrusive’.

Our recently lost friend, Australian of the Year, What do you think White Australians could learn from their Indigenous mentor and the lead singer of the internationally famous Yothu Yindi Band called it ‘both-ways’ – Indigenous and Indigenous brothers and sisters? In a few words – a hell non-Indigenous Australians getting together to enjoy learning of a lot; not just about this continent that we now share as a about each other. Ignorance is not bliss! country, but also – dare I say it – about life itself! As a culture and as a people, our Indigenous brothers and sisters have been Catch George at Boomerang Festival in conversation with Indigenous chefs Mark Olive and Clayton Donovan and also making sense out of the nonsense we blithely call life for tens Ernie Dingo for the NRL footy panel. and tens of thousands of years… 4–6 October, Bluesfest site. www.boomerangfestival.com.au How has your connection with Indigenous Australia changed you? How long have I got? Frankly, as the oldest race and culture on the planet, they put us into perspective. They are have lived history and are still living history. They force us to think what it might have been like living without the myriad of things – so-called ‘progress’ -- that we historical blown-ins apparently can’t live without! We’ve had those racist outbursts in football of late, one involving Eddie Macguire, who should have known better. Why do you think those values keep cropping up in a less racist Australia? You mean ‘lack of values’? Eddie’s actually a decent sort of ‘blokey’ bloke white Australian who momentarily lost his decency because of what has been correctly termed ‘casual racism’ – casual, widespread, but still offensive stuff we’ve all probably been guilty of when we thought we were merely being light-hearted and funny. That’s an explanation, by the way – not an excuse! Do you think that we as a nation are still racist? Not as a nation – but there is certainly a hefty bloody chunk of the population who are either xenophobic, bigoted or outright racists against not just Indigenous Australians, but anyone who’s not a white Anglo-Saxon Australian. That sort of mindless, irrational prejudice is usually based on fear and ignorance – and you can’t legislate against either of those character flaws. What are the things that you think would help Australia become a more integrated and culturally aware country? The term more culturally aware rings true – but, to be honest, the word integrated doesn’t. What do we mean by more integrated? Do we mean more like us, as in non-Indigenous Australians? How do we integrate Indigenous Australians without them becoming less of ourselves? I don’t have a trite, simplistic answer to those sorts of imponderables. But, I believe that we do have to keep asking the loaded questions – no

M SAGITTARIUS: September’s your month for making long-range plans, and an interesting assignment with your name on is on its way. Keep communications grounded and practical, because emotional outbursts won’t be well received. Don’t underestimate others who could still surprise you in ways you won’t want to be surprised. N CAPRICORN: This Virgo-flavoured week favours career planning, domestic organisation and whatever other sensible moves you make to improve your physical, emotional and/or financial health. With Capricorn’s ringed ruler Saturn in harmonious aspect to almost everything else this month, September promises significant advancements for Clan Capricorn. O AQUARIUS: This week recommends giving private needs precedence over public appearances. Less time on social media, more on sorting the messy bits in life’s filing cabinet into workable order. All of which will enhance and support your future flirtations with the latest, up-to-datest information and entertainments. P P ISCES: Half a century ago this week, Martin Luther King delivered his epic ‘I Have A Dream’ speech. Pisces are the zodiac’s premier dreamers and the present transit suggests the best way of manifesting these is to team up with sensible, realistic, practical, down-to-earth partners.

Perraultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timeless fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty, about a young girl cursed to sleep for one hundred years, was turned into a legendary ballet by Tchaikovsky and choreographer, Marius Petipa, in 1890. Bourne takes this date as his starting point, setting the Christening of Aurora, the storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heroine, in the year of the balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first performance: the height of the Fin-de-Siecle period when fairies, vampires and decadent opulence fed the gothic imagination. As Aurora grows into a young woman, we move forward in time to the more rigid, uptight Edwardian era, a mythical golden age of long summer afternoons, croquet on the \

lawn and new dance crazes. Years later, awakening from her century-long slumber, Aurora finds herself in the modern day, a world more mysterious and wonderful than any fairy story! Matthew Bourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s haunting new scenario is a gothic fairytale for all ages. The traditional tale of good versus evil and rebirth is turned upside-down, creating a supernatural love story across the decades that even the passage of time itself cannot hinder. Matthew Bourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sleeping Beauty screens at Palace Byron Bay Cinema on Saturday at 1pm. Tickets $18â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$20 available now at the cinema box office or online at www.palacecinemas. com.au.

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first chess professional, Max Fuller, died this week in Sydney aged 68. Fuller, softly-spoken and modest, developed from a tall, gangly teenager to Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number one in just a few years. From 1963 until 1984 he travelled the world, competing against some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best at nine Chess Olympiads and elite events such as Hastings, winning tournaments from Malta to Honiara. Prizes at chess tournaments in the early years were poor, yet Fuller survived â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seemingly on chess, cigarettes, alcohol and little else â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and inspired the generation who followed him to try their luck playing the European and US chess circuits.

Cinema Review The Conjuring Science and technology and unblinking atheism will take you only so far. What those pillars of the rational mind seem incapable of doing is oiling the creaking door of our deepest unknowing. And speaking of creaking doors… I’d heard that as scary movies go, this was a cut above the average, so I hurried to the screening wanting it to be true. Strange that we can be willingly drawn to something that promises to have us wracked with fear. I was not disappointed. Whether you accept that there are such

phenomena as paranormal events or dismiss them all as hoaxes (‘a lie is as good as the truth if somebody believes it’), there are those who deal with these occurrences in the same way that a dentist deals with a rotten tooth (the Vatican still sanctions exorcisms). This is based on a ‘true’ story. Lorraine and Ed Warren (Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson) were a prominent clairvoyant and ‘demonologist’ (they were also involved in the investigation that led to The Amityville Horror). In 1971 they agreed to help the Perron family –

Mom, Dad and five daughters – whose newly acquired home in rural New England was apparently cursed by a malevolent spirit. From setup to resolution, the film works a treat because it follows so faithfully the time-honoured touchstones of the genre without at any time feeling formulaic. The two-storey white timber house is perfect, as is the misshapen dead tree by the misty, still-water lake. Cobwebs, rocking chairs, a hideous doll and (my blood runs cold as I type it) a music box – classic props that,

if handled without due respect to their import, could just as easily see proceedings descend into farce. The sure hand of director James Wan (of Saw notoriety), with spooky cinematography and soundscape (the electrical thrumming heard when the unseen presence is near is terrifically unnerving), ensures that the piece is never corrupted by smug flippancy. The ghost is horrible and, oh yes, there’s a cellar, too. Don’t miss it. ~John Campbell

that little oversight and it is a laugh a minute (not) as the body count soars. The episode on the plane, where Bailey (Anthony Hopkins) accounts for a bunch of blokes with poisonous gas, is especially

mirthful when aligned with the jollity of events in Syria. Of course, the movie is not meant to be taken seriously. It is intended to be light-hearted and spoofish – ‘harmless escapism’ as the PR guys explain. But you should add to that that it’s dead boring, too, so clichéd and tired in its club-footed plotting that you can only be depressed at the prevailing assumption by the major studios that its mainstream audience is composed entirely of nincompoops. Frank and Marvin are retired fogeys who once tooled around the world’s trouble spots doing nefarious stuff for the CIA. Bailey is a mad scientist who, during the Cold War, had

devised some sort of nuclear device (or do we all say nucular now?) that remains hidden – but where? Han Cho Bai (Byung-hun Lee) is a famous, ruthless assassin and he has been hired to eliminate Frank. Victoria (Helen Mirren, making a fool of herself ) is an MI6 big-wig. Katja (Catherine Zeta-Jones, looking a bit long in the tooth) is an ex-lover of Frank’s and Sarah (MaryLouise Parker doing Sally Field as Gidget with a gun) is his current squeeze. There is a lot of shooting and chasing – in one rather sad scene, the Bruiser takes it upon himself to do the running instead of his stunt double and, though it only lasts a few seconds, he shows all the elegance and

Red 2 The tone is clear from the outset, when Marvin (John Malkovich) catches up with his buddy Frank (Bruce Willis) in a hypermarket and says, ‘you haven’t killed anybody in ages’. They soon make up for

Mud Love, blood, boy – they are all heavily weighted words when used in movie titles, reliably good for a few extra bucks at the box office. Mud, you’d have to think, might have the opposite effect. More’s the pity, for this edgy, sweaty and illogically feelgood drama is loaded with all three of those lightning-rod elements. Set in a white-trash riverbank community in Arkansas, Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) are 14-yearold buddies (not unlike Huck and Tom) who encounter Mud (Matthew McConaughey), a killer on the run, when they

take dibs on an abandoned boat. Charismatic Mud befriends the boys and inveigles them to bring him food and to scrounge and steal the materials he will need to re-float the boat and make his escape from the state troopers and his victim’s avengers. Though not a western, it draws heavily on that genre’s antiquated (to some) but never buried philosophy of an eye for an eye. Rough justice might not be to the taste of writer/ director Jeff Nichols’s natural audience, but so eloquently, if grimily, does he tell his tale that we can’t help hoping for

North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

the best for Mud. Naïve but resourceful, Ellis and Neckbone are easily won over to Mud’s cause and it’s the relationship between the three that is so engrossing. Mud’s predicament has come about as a result of the unfaithfulness of the gal he is besotted with, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon).

schoolgirl whom Ellis thinks of as his girlfriend. Juniper, so important, is no more than a ‘type’ defined by her skimpy wardrobe – but this is not too serious a flaw, for what Nichols is concerned with are the emotional strengths and frailties of masculine bonding. Naturalistic performances from all – McConaughey has been a revelation since departing the rom-com scene – and the kids are fantastic. ~ John Campbell

ABOUT YOU How did you come to live here? JE: Sold my restaurant in the Margaret River, bought a caravan and drove until I found somewhere I wanted to liveâ&#x20AC;Śthe rest is history! TJ: I was born and bred in Melbourne, lived in Sydney on the northern beaches, then made a tree change to Scone in the upper Hunter Valley, but I love the beauty of this area. Could you tell us a little about your business/ career background? JE: Owned and operated five restaurants in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Australia. Professionally trained in the UK. From 1994 Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked in London, Colorado, Cape Town, Mallorca, Barcelona, Auckland, Perth, Margaret River, Byron Bay and now here in Bangalow. TJ: My experience has mainly been in fine dining, and in 2004 my wife and I opened a cafĂŠ/homewares business on the northern beaches, Sydney. Since then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve owned an espresso bar in Chatswood and a restaurant in Scone. Who/what is your greatest influence? JE: Since early childhood I grew up in the Spanish Balearic islands. I also travelled the world extensively and this exposure to various styles of cooking has been my biggest influence. TJ: Peter Doyle from my days at Cicada in Sydney stands out. A genuinely humble man who through all the trials and tribulations of running a business has always kept his focus on the plate in front of him. What piece of advice have you been given that has served you well? JE: If you want something hard enough, and keep dreaming, the seemingly impossible becomes a reality â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my dad.

PUBLICATION ORDER LEDA MANAGEMENT SERVICES PTY LTD CONVICTED OVER ILLEGAL WORKS IN NATURE RESERVE On 23 July 2013 Leda Management Services Pty Ltd (Leda) was convicted in the Land and Environment Court of one offence against the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. In March 2011 Leda cleared approximately 3200 square metres of vegetation and damaged the bed and banks and widened part of Blacks Creek in Cudgen Nature Reserve near Tweed Heads. A site known as the Kings Forest Site adjoins the nature reserve and is being developed by another company within the Leda group of companies. Vegetation was cleared on the northern bank of Blacks Creek from the Kings Forest Site to the junction of Blacks Creek with Cudgen Creek.

Giants close season with valiant loss in final Story & photo John Campbell

Rugby league, at whatever level, demands equal parts courage, resolve and quick thinking (its detractors will never understand that last component). The Mullumbimby Giants’ Under-18s displayed all three qualities in going down to the NRRRL minor premiers, the Murwillumbah Mustangs, by 20–12 in their elimination final at Stan Sercombe Oval last Sunday. It was a hell of a game, exemplifying the tribalism and unsullied purity of grassroots sport. Having won the comp (for this grade) last year, the Giants fell agonisingly short of defending their title in next week’s grand final. Disregard the 8-point margin – there was never anything in it. In fact, for much of the time Mullum were superior to their more fancied rivals. With three automatic selections unavailable through suspension (the boys in question will have learnt from their foolishness, we hope), the Gi-

Mullumbimby Giants’ Zac Docking, backed up by Rhys Carruth, gave it their best shot and did the town proud in their preliminary final at Murwillumbah on Sunday.

ants were always going to be up against it, but it was not until the last ten minutes that the matter was settled. Mur’bah got proceedings underway shortly before midday in hot, dry conditions better suited to leg-spinners on a

fifth-day wicket than blokes playing footy. The Giants – a credit to Shane Deihm and his coaching staff – showed that they’d not taken the trip up the winding road merely to make up the numbers. Their comple-

Heartbreak Hotel for Shiners Dean Trevaskis

What can be said when you lead all day in a major semifinal only to get nutted on the line by a try in the forty-third minute of the second half? That’s just the way it goes; we will learn from the experience; you can’t win them all; it’s just a game. Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks! The Mullum Moonshiners one-point loss to Lismore at Far North Coast Rugby Headquarters on Sunday hurt like a nine iron in the Jatz Crackers. How the young Shiners respond to the disappointment and anger of the loss will determine if they get a shot at revenge in two weeks. Sunday’s game started with the Shiners flying the boxes and putting ten points on Lismore early. Mullum point scoring machine Nathan Nichols nailed an early penalty. He followed up with a cut-out pass to James Chester who instinctively took on the Lismore line and drew four defenders before off-loading to Simon Hutton who opened the throttle on his V8 motor and scorched down the touch line for a rousing try. Mullum was playing to plan with speed and composure off the line in defence and discipline around the rucks. Scotty Hazlewood Potts was

the rock of Gibraltar all day in defence, catching everything and running strongly. He was well supported by full back Jacob ‘The Axe’ Johnston who continually took on and beat the Lismore line. He saved a try with a slice and dice tackle that buckled his hefty opponent. Jimmy Pyne was running hard and owning the line out. Skipper Teale Pyne as he has done all season led by example. Lismore opened their account with a penalty then closed to within two points with a thirty-metre pass that found a winger outside his man for an in-the-corner try. On the cusp of half-time Mullum pushed the score to 13–8 when Nichols superbly drilled a penalty from 48 metres into a gale that had blown Sammy Perry’s sausage dog off its chain. The second half looked like more of the same when Nichols added a penalty five minutes in. Leon Matchett-Oates showed great composure when isolated in possession against three defenders. He secured the ball before getting the pass away when the troops arrived. Another Lismore infringement, another penalty to Super Boot and the Shiners were up by twelve with a full spinnaker. Just when Mullum looked like breaking the game open Lismore’s Piggies found

their mojo. It became a contest of ruck and scrum. Mullum veteran Seymour Walters showed considerable heart stepping up to the plate at prop. Half back Jackson Lewin was working miracles getting his hands on the pill as the diminished Shiners’ pack gave up ground in the scrums. Lismore built pressure, first a penalty then a converted try, the difference four points. Mullum was staunch in defence but locked in their own half unable to win any field position. With the game deep into extra time the Mullum faithful hollered for the ref to blow full time at each stoppage in play. The minutes ticked on, scrum after scrum, mauls and pick and drives repelled, runners bundled into touch until sheer weight of numbers prevailed and Lismore drove over as the clock ticked to fortytwo and half minutes. When the ref finally called time the score line read 20–19 to Lismore. The Shiners are back in Lismore at Crozier Park this Saturday taking on Iluka in the preliminary final at 12.30. There has been plenty of bad blood between the sides this season and both would delight in ending the other’s season. The Shiners will need to

tion rate was good, their tackling (against mostly bigger opponents) was committed and the X-factor – that elusive ingredient we call ‘heart’ – was there in abundance. Both sides were battling to establish superiority when

Mullum received a penalty after one of the Mustangs was pinged for a shoulder charge that did him more damage than his target. On the back of it, they moved deep into Mur’bah’s territory. They pressed hard and the pressure inevitably told on the home side as Bill Hedditch stormed over to put the Blue-andGolds ahead. Mullum looked the goods, whereas Mur’bah appeared rattled by the underdogs’ application and vigour. The Mustangs suddenly found themselves racing for the line after reclaiming the pill from a charge-down, but the Giants’ cover arrived in numbers – the enthusiasm with which the threat was defused was typical of the struggle. As the break drew near, possession and penalties started to flow the Mustangs’ way. Their half-back roundedup a chip to put them on the board and shortly after they took the option of kicking for goal when the ref found yet another reason to make

a call against the Giants. His whistle was frequently heard, much to the ire of the mob in the northern grandstand, occupied by the Giants’ faction. Friends, family and girlfriends, diehards from earlier times, senior players and plain old-fashioned tragics, they are a power in themselves. The Giants endured a critical period, just before and after oranges, when they could not buy a penalty. Their supporters bayed raucously, and with justification, for off-side, but no relief came. Do some refs not blow a penalty because they want to prove themselves above outside influence? Ten minutes, ten metres can change the course of any contest. Mur’bah got a try from a bomb to make it 14–6 and the Giants’ hopes were then shattered by a nicely executed try from an extremely ‘flat’ pass. Byron Flynn crossed late, but Mullum’s proud effort was to no avail. Better luck next year, boys. You played tough, done good.

Junior Pies 2013 Premiers

A wonderful day of football was had at the Under-12 and Under-14 Premiership matches at Oakes Oval in Lismore on Sunday. All the children really put their heart and soul into trying their hardest and it was clear to all spectators that the Northern Rivers Junior AFL has a lot to offer one of the greatest sports ever. draw on the considerable character and unity they have shown all season to put the Lismore loss behind them. Their trump card may be history. All four Moonshine Premierships have come the hard way, playing each week of the finals.

As with all finals, at the end of the day there is a winner and second place, remembering at this end of a long hard season there are no losers, just a better team on the day. All the clubs involved need to be congratulated on a great

year of junior footy and the promotion of this wonderful activity on the north coast. The Final scores on the day were: U12s Byron Bay 4-4-28 Def Tweed Coast 2-7-19 U14s Ballina 12-6-78 Def Byron Bay 6-18-54. Congratulations to the Premiers.

Byron Bay rugby union: The Eliminator Story Peter Griffin

Byron Bay rugby are one win away from the First Grade Grand Final after ending the season of five-time champions Lennox Head on Saturday. The 22–10 elimination final victory is the highest ranked achievement by a Byron Shire rugby union team in living memory. The performance was all the more remarkable as Byron Bay travelled with only 16 players and were without regulars Josh Smith, Michael Armstrong, Jamie Blair, Jash Saeck and Nathan Nicholls. Byron looked the better, more purposeful team in the early exchanges. Star front rower Craig Wallace had his team on the front foot with an early line break and locks Matt Larsson and Ryan Betts were in perfect concert; the former with physical dominance close to the ruck, the latter with skills and elusive running on the fringes. Inevitably it was Wallace who poached the opening try after a period of sustained pressure.

Vastly experienced Lennox responded with a brand of methodical, error-free rugby. The plan was simple enough: kick for territory and run everything through their powerful inside centre and openside flanker. The only problem with the plan was their opposite numbers. Byron’s Rob Lynch and Harry Nuttall are simply two of the finest footballers on the coast. Lennox came up scoreless after declining three kickable penalties and were punished when playmaker George Kitching released the electrifying Pat Hutchison, who broke the line from 40 metres and left the Trojans’ fullback in his wake. The Bay went to halftime buoyant at 12–0 but the break seemed to dull their intensity and they conceded a try early in the second term. The period that followed was classic finals rugby between the established order and the relentless underdog. Lennox brought on fresh legs against the undermanned Byron and they reduced the margin to 12–10 after a second try.

Once more Byron found themselves defending deep on their own line. Halfback Jack Dickson was caught behind a tiring scrum but somehow the Bay’s forward back summoned the energy to pick and drive six times to the edge of the quarter line to set up Kitching’s clearing kick. Sporting a magnificent beard

for the occasion, winger Tom Sandstrom produced a superb chase and tackle to pin his opposite and win a penalty for the player not releasing. In an instant the Bay went from holding on to dominating. The mercurial Kitching was decisive, finding space wide on the left for the elusive Will Cox to step, shimmy and

offload for his captain Nuttal to score in the corner. Courage is a word that has been liberally sprinkled over this column but it was never more in evidence than on Saturday. The try was rich reward for Nuttall who was in Kyogle Hospital an hour before the game receiving a needle in order to play.

Now up by seven the Byron coach dearly wanted some breathing space as a draw was enough for Lennox who had finished third on the ladder. Leave it to Kitching. The Englishman capped a star performance with a sideline conversion to give the Bay a decisive 19–10 advantage. Byron closed out the game in professional fashion adding a penalty goal late in the play. It was not a day to single out individuals but George Kitching and the Green Lantern Craig Wallace were surely the best. Flanker Mark Ballantyne was outstanding close to the ball as was Mr 100 per cent Pete Shaw whose joy at the victory was unmatched. Byron will now play Lismore in the prelims at Crozier Park on Saturday. Minor Premiers Lismore stumbled 38–17 against Wollongbar Alstonville. The Bay’s campaign will be boosted by the return of suspended Josh Smith and the redoubtable Michael Armstrong who finished a close third in the First Grade player of the year poll. Go the Bay!

The Under-15s started well against Wollongbar, leading 12–0 at half time with tries to Finn McElroy and Temana Matiu, despite a horrendous penalty count. However, the opposition fought back in the second half as the Billygoats found it impossible to get into a rhythm with the numerous

Pictured with Harry are Beau Taylor-Laird, Ruairi Lagan and Austin TaylorLaird. The kids were extremely happy to meet some of the soccer players they idolise, and the mums were very pleased too. ‘Its lovely that the Melbourne Heart players spent the time with them all’, said mum Fran Taylor. ‘It made them all feel very special’.

penalties against them and eventually went down 20–17. Under-17s played strongly at times in their semi against Wollongbar but defensive lapses saw them 21–0 down at half time. A spirited fightback in the second half with tries to Nick Frazier, Mac Dennis and Callum Stephen wasn’t enough however and they eventually went down 47–15. Both teams suffered a lack of reserves throughout the year and welcome new players to their new floodlit ground at Brunswick Heads.

The 2013/2014 season of Nippers starts on October 13 and sign-on days are September 15 and 29 to coincide with the Surf Club Open Day. Many of the kids that love to compete throughout the season have already started training and love not only the training but the social aspect of getting together with their friends and going for an early morning paddle. Byron Bay often puts on perfect conditions for young nippers and allows them to safely be in the water learning

all aspects of surf life saving and water safety. It’s a great part of the world to be a nipper. Byron Bay Junior Surf Lifesaving would love to see more young nippers getting involved and particularly parents who have the opportunity to gain their bronze medallion through the club and also become a part of this fantastic organisation.

New lights installed at Lofts Oval Brunswick Heads will allow greater flexibility for training and field usage. At a cost of $102,000 the new lights are state of the art and were selected for their high luminescence, low maintenance, minimal light spill and economical power use. The Shiners will be able to put the new lights to use with some extra training this week in the lead up to their clash against Iluka in Lismore this Saturday. Photo Tree Faerie

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

Dali and the persistence of real estate Story by Michael McDonald Melting watches, lobster telephones – this was the royal road to riches, at least for Salvador Dali. The Spaniard was one of the few of his generation of artists who had a property portfolio, let alone a reliable roof over his head. His father, Salvador Dalí i Cusí, was a middle-class lawyer, so the painter had a reasonably well-off upbringing at Figueres, where today you can pick up a modest flat for only 80,000 euros. In 1930 Dali and his wife got into real estate by buying a beachside fisherman’s cottage at Port Lligat. Home renos on the property continued throughout their lives, apart from an eight-year sojourn in the United States, where they went to escape World War II, and the cottage became something of a grand, eccentric villa. Grand villas are still the go at Port Lligat. You can acquire a 5-bedroom villa on 2037m2 with views to the beach for just over 1.7 million euros. Five bathrooms and a jacuzzi as well, not to mention the infinity pool! I’m not sure how important Dali’s paranoiac-critical method was to his success in real estate. But one could imagine that the ‘spontaneous method of irrational knowledge based on the critical and systematic objectivity of the associations and interpretations of delirious phenomena’ would at least have some bearing on the colour scheme for any investment property, and we all know how important colour is for attracting prospective buyers in a surrealistically inclined market.

The Byron Shire Echo September 3, 2013 55

Backlash The arrival of warmer weather has seen increased movements of wildlife, particularly near roads. Native ducks, adorable as they are, seem to have trouble deciding on good points at which to cross and instead settle on bad points. Please be careful while they dither about and allow them the freedom to make it to the other side. As the song parody goes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A duck may be somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The true guide to Australian politics has been produced by Noble Kraken: http://bit. ly/14tK38F. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great stress relief as you prepare yourself for voting. Q Q Q Q

Perhaps the scariest image of the election campaign to date was that of Clive Palmer twerking. Mandy Nolan examines the horrendous twerking phenomenon in her Soapbox this week. Backlash longs for the dance days when the Maroubra Stomp was the height of sexual tension.

On a slightly larger canvas than Australianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal election, the ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine science program Catalyst has set up a Custom Universe site at www.abc.net.au/catalyst/customuniverse. Fascinating and weird stuff. But the question â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Has the universe been finetuned for us?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; is arse-about. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like that over a few billion years of evolution we got fine-tuned to survive under this particular set of physics laws. Q Q Q Q

Plans by Council to have a liquor accord precinct in Byron Bay may do something to cut down alcohol-fuelled violence or, alternatively, very little at all. The devil, as always, is in the detail. And in who has the most influence in the consultation process. And how committed our councillors are to take the matter beyond the planning stage. Q Q Q Q

Councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fascination with reports and studies is further exemplified by the latest resolution to look at five sites for for sportsfields in the north of the Shire, including a site at Billinudgel, extension

of the Tom Kendall Oval at New Brighton, land on the southern corner of Tweed Valley Way and Shara Boulevard, Water Lily Park and North Byron Parklands. This must be one of the longest, dragged-out sagas in Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history since the debate over street cows in Mullum. Incidentally, on Rootsweb there is a fascinating collection of local historical material, Aliens of the Tweed and Brunswick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An account of the fun and games of the Indogreeketceteras in the cafes and banana plantations around Murwillumbah and Mullumbimby, compiled anonymously at http://freepages. history.rootsweb.ancestry. com/~aliens/index.htm. We learn from the original Mullumbimby Star, for instance, that on March 15, 1906, Mrs Matha Simpson set fire to her house â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;because it was the only way to get out of Mullumbimby.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; (We know the feeling.) You can also find out

more from our local museum at www.mullumbimbymuseum.org.au. Q Q Q Q

And a final reminder before you vote: you do not have to follow the partiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; howto-vote cards. You are free to number your preferences however you wish. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve compiled a detailed rundown on local candidates, polling places and more at www. echo.net.au/election2013. Good luck, have fun, and keep your cool in the queue.
