In need of better governance

Byron Shire Council Notices Page 43

Byron Shire now gasfield free With the completion of the last gasfield-free surveys, a celebration was held on Sunday at Byron Bay Farmstay with mayor Simon Richardson being handed certificates declaring the shire’s intention to be gasfield free. Coopers Shoot, Talofa, McLeods Shoot and Hayters Hill were the last to join other Byron Shire towns and hinterland areas. Co-ordinator Sally Cusack said she enjoyed the whole survey process, especially connecting with her neighbours and chatting with them around their kitchen tables.

Community consultation

Around 400 people rallied for better governance in Ballina on Sunday as part of nationwide protests. After the march, which ran from the town to Missingham Park on the river, speakers and musicians entertained families and the politically and socially engaged from the amphitheatre. The afternoon was also catered to with food stalls and was complete with kids’ playground and a skatepark nearby. Photo Eve Jeffery

PAGE 18–19

The certificates that were handed to the mayor said: ‘We, the people of our area, declare that our roads are gasfield free, protected by the will of the people. ‘This decision was made through community consultation and engagement. We recognise that our best defence is by standing together. ‘If we detect any activity by gas companies here, we will raise an alert

and ask their representatives to leave. ‘We are committed to stopping gasfield industrialisation. ‘In doing this, we protect the water, soil and air. ‘We will protect our community from the destructive impacts of the gasfield industry.’ The new banner for Gasfield Free Byron Shire says that 97 per cent of Coopers Shoot residents surveyed want to remain gasfield free.

Blues Fest 2015 announcement The Black Keys, Zac Brown Band, Alabama Shakes, Michael Franti and Spearhead, George Clinton & Parliament, Funkadelic, Paul Kelly, Trombone Shorty, G Love & Special Sauce and Beth Hart are some of the first acts to be confirmed for next year’s Bluesfest.

Council’s peak body slams federal govt’s carbon tax rhetoric Hans Lovejoy

The body representing NSW councils has refuted the federal government’s claim that the abolition of the carbon tax will lead to savings that will adequately compensate their expected budget shortfalls. Financial Assistance Grants (FAGs), which contribute significantly to council operating funds, will no longer be indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). They are a target of the Abbott government’s harsh austerity measures. After Local Government NSW (LGNSW) called for the CPI freeze be reversed, Nationals MP and deputy prime minister Warren Truss issued a press release and instead accused the media of misreporting their widely criticised policies and budget. The electorate was also blamed for its inability to

understand the ‘strong action’ that was necessary to restore the budget. Mr Truss’s media response to LGNSW said, ‘In the near hysteria that has ensued since the federal budget was announced, much has been misunderstood and misreported.’ ‘The government is asking all sectors of the economy to contribute to repairing Labor’s debt and deficit disaster, and so it is only reasonable that local government should also make a contribution.’ He also claimed the CPI freeze would ‘be more than offset by the abolition of the carbon tax and the injection of infrastructure investment for local communities.’ But Local Government NSW president, Cr Keith Rhoades AFSM, told The Echo, ‘The freeze on the Federal Financial Assistance Grants will have a long-term impact on councils and communities, and will not be offset completely by the

negligible savings made by abolishing the carbon tax or the ‘injection of infrastructure investment’. ‘Financial Assistance Grants are untied, which means councils can assess the individual needs of their community and put that funding into where it’s needed most. That could be infrastructure or services, other than that dictated by the federal government.

Grants stuck at 2013/14 levels ‘While populations continue to grow and the CPI continues to rise, the Federal Financial Assistance Grants will still be stuck at the same level as 2013/14. What’s more, the infrastructure funding Truss speaks about is time limited. Unfortunately, under the decision to freeze the Financial Assistance Grants, which are particularly important to regional and rural councils, [their level] will be permanently lowered.’

The 11th annual Ocean Shores Art Expo saw 230 entries hung and more than 1,000 people visit the exhibition over the weekend. Held at the Ocean Shores Public School hall, organisers said they were thrilled at the increasing number of people attending and entering the competition.

Committee president Ri Fraser said it was heartening also to see a huge number of schoolchildren entering the competition. One young student, she said, was thrilled when she managed to sell her tiny oil-and-acrylic painting of her family caravan for $45. For the full list of winners visit www.echo.net.au.

Award-winning eco-home designs will be on display at the Sustainable Small House Design Awards & Expo in Bangalow at the A&I Hall from 1 to 4pm on Saturday September 13. People can expect to see professional designs from a range of local architects and community members featuring universal modular housing, repurposed container housing, solar-passive design, and cross-ventilated afford-

able dwellings. There will also be printed designs, 3D rendered CAD visuals, and mini-models. ‘The tiny-house and sustainable building movements are sweeping the world and we are pleased to be leading the way in the northern rivers,’ said Deb Preston, Green Building Centre and Painted Earth director. Everyone is welcome to this free event. See www. sevenonsibley.com/shd2014.

Help for parents with challenging kids Resident psychologist and teacher Michael Hawton has authored an e-course to help parents manage their children’s challenging behaviour. Talk Less Listen More is an Australian first, says Dr Hawton, and is a joint initiative with the Australian Primary Principals Association (APPA) that brings the online parenting education program to primary school communities across the country. ‘At the heart of what we do is the ability to make a positive contribution to the lives of children and families,’ says Michael. The course aims to teach parents how to: teach children self-control, manage their emotions and control their behaviour; build children’s emotional maturity and resilience for social and academic success (by developing children’s ability to self-regulate); deal effectively with a child’s ‘meltdown’ quietly and calmly and connect emotionally with their children and build family bonds. ‘This is the manual for when your kids are too challenging and you’re try-

Council and staff rumble in the House Of Pain for the public’s enjoyment Hans Lovejoy

So what transpired among the bureaucratic sizzle at last Thursday’s council meeting? Throngs of reports, notices of motion and plenty of politics, that’s what. General manager Ken Gainger’s push for Byron Council to resist Rous County Council’s proposal to merge resulted in councillors voting to request reports on the effectiveness of each of the county councils. A report entitled ‘Free Camping in Byron Shire’ was tabled, offering ‘various options in respect of the management of free camping in the Byron Shire’. Staff recommended that ‘Council authorise participation in the North Coast Destination Network Freedom Traveller Taskforce.’ Councillors voted in favour of that and to devlop ‘a freedom camping in

‘Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power’ – Abraham Lincoln Byron management strategy that minimises the potential negative environmental/social effects of free camping’.

Art gift Four artworks have been gifted by artist Judy Cassab and will go on display at the Byron Bay Library. The works depict beachscapes around Byron, and will need to be valued and transported from Sydney. Support was almost unanimous for the mayor’s motion to write to those in Sydney who are proposing the City of Sydney Amendment (Elections) Bill 2014, which could see the plans expand statewide. Opposed to the move, Cr Chris Cubis said, ‘This has

got very little to do with us… leave it to state government.’ Cr Spooner said he attended the Byron Bay Liquor Accord meeting last week.

Police feedback The police gave some feedback on how things are tracking in Byron Bay, he said, ‘and it looks positive and looking forward to the next statistical reports around issues like violence, alcohol-related violence on the streets because it seems like the venues have been working hard and we are trending possibly towards the next report to have all venues at either medium to low risk, which hasn’t happened for a number of years in Byron Bay.

‘I think everyone is to be congratulated on the work they have put in over the last year to 18 months for this and hopefully that will continue in that direction.’ ‘There was also a discussion around Schoolies week. Because licensed venues were being asked to support schoolies week in terms of donations, the point was raised that in fact schoolies week does not work for venues. ‘There is a theory out there that a lot of schoolies go to venues when they’re in town but it doesn’t seem to be the case at all. The venues are having high costs during that period because they have security… and are getting a low yield. It was suggested that in terms of support for schoolies there should be discussions with the accommodation network in town about supporting activities like the schoolies Hub.’

3D house printer inventor headlines Bio-char festival The inventor of a 3D house printer is one of the guest speakers for the upcoming Bio-charfest, which will again run alongside Mullum’s Living Community Festival on September 5, 6 and 7. Co-ordinator Don Coyne says the aim of this year’s Bio-charfest is to ‘link the bio-char, carbon farming (hemp and bamboo) and 3D printing industries and to celebrate the cascading uses of bio-char from a building material to a soil conditioner.’ ‘With the $7 million biochar project going ahead at the Ballina Waste Depot, which will generate electricity and bio-char, there will be larger quantities of it available for sale to the public/industry.’ Festival speakers include Dr Lukas Van Zweiten from NSW DPI and Dr Stephen Joseph from AnthroTerra. The inventor of a prototype that can produce 3D printed large-scale structures, Prof Behrokh Khoshnevis, will also speak. His model was built in 2006 and could potentially use bio-char as a building material.

He told a TED Talk audience in 2012 that affordable and quality housing is a worldwide issue facing all governments, with around one billion people living in substandard housing.

Affordable and quality housing ‘Construction is one of the last industries which is yet to be automated,’ he said. ‘It’s currently costly, labour intensive and is wasteful. He argues that the ‘world did not come to an end as a result of the utilisation of ag-

ricultural techniques.’ ‘In around 1900, 62 per cent of Americans were farmers. Today, less than one-anda-half per cent are involved. ‘There will always be better economies resulting from the advancement and utilisation of technologies.’ While his invention is yet to receive the $20 million he says it needs to become operational, he believes that eventually the technology could be used to build structures on other planets. For more on the bio-charfest, visit www.bio-charfest.org or for the 3D house printer, www.contourcrafting.org.

What’s Bio-char? Bio-char is a solid material obtained from the carbonisation of biomass. Bio-char may be added to soils with the intention to improve soil functions and to reduce emissions from biomass that would otherwise naturally degrade to greenhouse gases. Bio-char also has appreciable carbon sequestration value. These properties are measurable and verifiable in a characterisation scheme, or in a carbon emission offset protocol.

Local News

One little sniff would bore me teriff... your car, boat or other vehicle and possessions – if they have ‘reasonable grounds’ to suspect that you are carrying stolen goods or goods unlawfully obtained; prohibited drugs; an item that has been, or may be, used in a serious crime, for example tools to break into a car or house; knives, weapons or ‘dangerous implements’ and laser pointers.

Hans Lovejoy

The never-ending war against inanimate objects – in this case drugs – was highlighted recently with police dog operations targeting children as they entered both Murwillumbah and Mullumbimby high schools. Subsequently, The Echo sought to examine the warrants used and to raise awarness about your rights if a cute puppy attached to a policeman happens to sit down next to you. Despite The Echo being denied access to view the school warrants, two other related warrants for Byron Bay and Murwillumbah streets and parks were made available. It revealed that police were relying on previous drug detections and ‘suspicious activity’ for their application. And it turns out the only drug that was detected in those operations appeared to be very small amounts of cannabis. Dated July 30, 2014, both warrants viewed were submitted at the Murwillumbah Court House by Murwillumbah-based senior officer Jason McGinley. The warrant application included an attached map of both Murwillumbah and Byron Bay, with requested search areas highlighted. In the case of Murwillumbah, officer McGinley claimed that after information was obtained on the previous search operation, it resulted in ‘12 cannabis plants being seized during the operation within the CBD. No illegal drugs were located but numerous detections were indicated.’ This last sentence is interesting; despite detections being ‘indicated’, ‘no illegal drugs were located.’ It reinforces the finding of the NSW Ombudsman that such use of

Image from Police Dog Unit – NSW Police Force

police resources is of questionable value. Byron Bay’s warrant was slightly different, with the last operation resulting in ‘19 drug detections (cannabis)’ which resulted in cautions. McGinley wrote, ‘Byron Bay has a high transitory population… [there is a] large volume of persons in possession and partaking in the consumption and supply of illegal drugs. Recent information received is that it is continuing… in the presence of holiday makers and families.’

Oversight So what oversight is there of police undertaking these types of operations? While budgets and results are difficult to extract from police and politicians, a spokesperson for the NSW Department of Justice (DoJ) told The Echo that officers lodging warrants are required to do so under oath and there are penalties for giving false information. Under Search Warrants Act 1985, providing false or misleading material ‘in or in connection with an application for a warrant’ can attract a maximum penalty of ‘100 penalty units or imprisonment for two years, or both.’ Additionally the determination of whether to seal the warrant is the decision of the

local courthouse clerk where the warrant is lodged, the DoJ spokesperson said. But what about your rights if stopped and searched by police in public if you have not been arrested?

Your rights Kirsten Cameron from Legal Aid NSW pointed to a 2001 NSW court of criminal appeal ruling for R v Rondo which highlights ‘reasonable suspicion’. She told The Echo, ‘Despite considering a repealed section, [this case] still has weight in determining whether a search is lawful.’ From paragraph 53 it reads, ‘Reasonable suspicion is not arbitrary. Some factual basis for the suspicion must be shown. A suspicion may be based on hearsay material or materials which may be inadmissible in evidence. The materials must have some probative value.’ But conventional wisdom of course is to always be polite and offer your name and address if asked. And if arrested, there is a right to silence. It’s your right to seek legal advice before talking as well. If being stopped and searched, you are also permited to ask the officer’s name and which station they are from. The website for Legal Aid NSW advises that police have the power to search you – and

They must provide you with as much privacy as possible. ‘As far as is practicable, the search must be carried out by a police officer of the same gender as the person being searched.

A second year for CrabbesFest film festival The community of Crabbes Creek is looking forward to putting on another red carpet film spectacular on Friday September 12. Based on the idea of Tropfest Junior, last year the local film society invited small schools in Tweed and Byron shires to submit short films in a contest with prizes such as iPads and cameras for the winning schools – and so CrabbesFest was born. ‘This year our feature item is “Rain”,’ says festival director Linda Parlett. ‘I can’t wait to see what the kids come up with in their film.’ For more information visit www. facebook.com/crabbesfest.

Connecting with China: conservationist/ educator wins NSW Premier’s Award When Katie’s not keeping beaches from Seven Mile to Sri Lanka clean from rubbish, she’s educating young minds on the values of conservation. It’s a dedication that has just landed her an award from the NSW Premier’s Office, and soon she will be off to China to look at popular youth culture, the emerging surfing/skateboarding culture and sustainability initiatives. In addition to removing beach debris, the data collected from the clean up assists in improving the environment, Katie says. ‘A lot of the marine debris we find up on our northern beaches in Australia has washed down from Asia,’ she says, ‘which is why engaging with community and students over in China will be so important.’ Apart from visiting organic farms and socially sustainable enterprises, Katie will examine the Chinese government’s Green Fence Policy initiative.

China rejecting the west’s waste ‘China’s Green Fence Policy is about the Chinese saying “no” to the western world’s plastic waste that they have been taking on for years’, she says. ‘This is making countries like the USA and Australia look at being more responsible for their own waste, rather then sending it offshore. ‘China has also emerged from being the worst with

their product packaging laws to now being the leaders. ‘They are forcing multinational companies to reduce their layers of packaging. ‘For example, Nestlé uses nine layers with their products, but will now have to reduce this to two layers – or leave China. ‘The Chinese increase in wealth has meant they are dealing with higher amounts of local waste and just don’t have the capacity for the rest of the word’s waste any more.

Leaders in waste management ‘Unfortunately, most western countries’ response – including Australia – is to not develop more ways to deal with their own plastic and ewaste, but to look for willing

countries such as Indonesia and African countries to send it away to. Most Australians don’t even know this.’ Locally, she has been involved with schools who have also taken part in beach cleanup activities. Recently, TV Network 10 program Totally Wild came to film her with NGO groups and local schools cleaning up a section of Seven Mile beach. ‘It was a collaboration between seven different youth groups,’ she says, ‘the Uncle Project, Kookaburra Culture School, MerPod, Cape Byron Steiner School, Southern Cross School, students from Bangalow Primary School and Tangaroa Blue.’ Her overall aim is about connection, she says. ‘We are all connected to each other and we are all part

of the problem and solution for our global health. ‘It’s about giving our young people positive links to each other beyond our own backyard and to encourage global thinking to go with local action.’ Another boost to her Premier’s Award application was that she helps provide youth with access to quality Chinese language programs, which are offered through Southern Cross distance education. ‘The government support will help give all young people in the region access to Chinese culture and language programs that they can study as single subjects through their local schools. In the future, I hope to take kids from our region to China. ‘Both cultures have a lot to understand about each other.’

Political mileage in women’s bodies This look at dodgy ‘scientific’ claims was published in TheConversation.com on August 28

Volume 29 #12

September 2, 2014

Abbott’s target is to be non renewable The release of the Renewable Energy Target review shows that Tony Abbott’s election-night boast needs to be given a significant qualification. Australia is indeed open for business, but only for big, fossil-fuel-driven, polluting business. The review recommends that the RET be effectively scrapped, for a number of reasons. Although the development of renewable energy is driving down the price of electricity, it is also ‘transferring wealth’ from existing energy generators to the new ones, and this is apparently unacceptable. Moreover, although the renewable energy target has worked to combat carbon emissions, it is no longer necessary as other mechanisms are available. Presumably, since the carbon tax has been repealed, the job of reducing emissions will be left to Abbott’s scheme of directly paying polluters to refrain from polluting, a political save-arse gimmick concocted before the last election which will not pass the senate anyway. Scrapping the RET – either by closing it down entirely or by not assisting any new renewable-energy players in the market – will lead to a loss of potential jobs far greater in number than those that would go if we gradually closed coal-fired generators, and will damage Australia’s future finances, not to mention health and climate, but it will benefit the owners of those coalfired generators to the tune of eight to ten billion dollars. Despite promising before the election that the RET (like education, health and the ABC) would not be touched, the government appointed a review committee of business fossils, rent seekers and coal-industry lobbyists headed by Dick Warburton. As a climate-change denier, he obviously thinks his internet browsing provides more valid scientific evidence than the peerreviewed papers of climate specialists. The government’s attitude towards renewable energy is simple: it’s a green-left concern, and as climate change is a green-left conspiracy anyway, let’s kick it to pieces. What great pleasure it must give Liberal and National members to satisfy an ideological obsession and at the same time shower benefits on the crooks, cronies and party contributors in the coal industry.

he purported link between abortion and breast cancer is based on research that’s no longer accepted as valid because its methods are so flawed. But that hasn’t stopped politicians such as Fred Nile and groups such as the World Congress of Families, a global conservative Christian group that claims to be a defender of the so-called ‘natural family’, from repeating it. The association stems from research from the 1950s and has been used to publicise and bolster the conservative, anti-choice position on abortion. Numerous articles published since the 1950s that fail to confirm any such association between abortion and breast cancer seem not to have dented the enthusiasm of those repeating it. Nor have they reduced the newsworthiness of this early work. Historian Patricia Jasen suggests that, of all cancers, breast cancer has been the focus of the most controversy regarding its cause. At one stage, a ‘blow to the breast’ was thought to be the cause, at another it was ‘unhappy emotions’. The current consensus among experts is that the strongest risk factors for breast cancer are age, a family history of the cancer, and breast conditions, such as previous disease or high breast-tissue density. Reproductive factors also play a role, as do certain lifestyle factors, but these are minor. The 2009 Cancer Australia report summarising the data explicitly states that abortion has been shown to not impact on the risk for breast cancer. But despite abortion not appearing among the many risk factors cited by trusted cancer organisations, there are some

studies that propose this potential link. And it is to these studies that conservative politicians and anti-choice activists keep harking back. The original paper reporting an association between breast cancer and abortion is an epidemiological study on cancer in Japan, from 1957. It’s often cited by people promoting the purported link. Let’s look at it closely to highlight the problems of such work.

The question now is when will women’s health cease to be a political football. by Dr Louise Keogh In this research, Segi and colleagues gathered information on all cancer patients in 33 hospitals across Japan between 1948 and 1952. They also collected information on a similar number of people attending health centres in Japan, and who did not have a diagnosis of cancer. This latter group were known as the controls in the study. They compared the two groups based on their responses to a large number of questions, and analysed each risk factor independently of the others. They found men who had ‘much opportunity to participate in parties’ were more likely to have stomach cancer than controls, while people living in rural areas ‘using large quantities of soy sauce’ were less likely to have it. For lung cancer, they found no difference between cancer cases and controls who smoked tobacco. The authors were at pains to explain that their findings were only observations, and that further research was needed to determine whether any of the associations they found were real.

They also found that ‘spontaneous interruption of pregnancy’ and ‘artificial interruption of pregnancy’ was higher for women with breast cancer. With regard to these later findings, the authors claimed to be: ‘rather hesitant… in inducing some definite conclusions from them, because we know that our approach is not necessarily satisfactory’. They also said they didn’t trust the accuracy of abortion reports by controls. This proviso reflects the findings of one of the largest studies (83,000 women from 53 studies) to address this association. Published in 2004, that research found studies in which participants self-report previous abortions feature a strong recall bias. And it found women with cancer were more likely to report a previous abortion than were the controls. The 1957 study was no doubt a bold endeavour for the time, but the approach it used is no longer considered appropriate. Many of its findings are known to be anomalies result-

ing from flawed methodology and the poor quality of some of their data. It’s not the only case-control epidemiological study to produce findings that were later overturned. Epidemiologists are now more aware of the flaws in these methods, including recall and selection bias, and analysis methods that can produce obscure findings. These less-than-perfect studies have led to improvements in how epidemiology is conducted because science is not static. New research about breast cancer is published every day and research methods are constantly adjusted and improved to take account of the latest findings. The public needs to be able trust the scientific process, but when politicians and groups like the World Congress of Families selectively choose research that supports their position and promote these at the expense of the best and most current evidence, they damage science, people’s trust in politicians and, in this case, women’s access to correct information about their bodies and risks to their health. The question for us now is not whether there’s a link between breast cancer and abortion but when will women’s health cease to be a political football, and their right to correct information be prioritised ahead of the conservative agenda.

GREAT QUALITY MATERIALS

For their findings on breast cancer, they considered a large range of variables, including responses to ‘is the size of the right and left breast equal or not? If not, which size is the larger?’ They found women with breast cancer were later in marrying and having children, that they had fewer children, were more likely to have had mastitis, and had menstruated earlier.

Govt supports gas shortage claims I refer to a story published in your newspaper on August 26 headed ‘Gas shortage a furphy, Tweed Council told’. In challenging the advice that NSW is facing gas shortages it is important that people consider some of the many facts present on the issue from independent sources. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has advised NSW is facing potential gas shortages. Under their worst-case scenario, which excludes NSW bringing on any of their own gas supplies, their forecasts show shortages from 2018 until 2020 This is not because Australia has a shortage of gas but because NSW only produces five per cent of its own gas.

We import the other 95 per cent from other states, thus competing with other buyers and other countries for most of our gas supplies. With no new, local supplies of gas, not only will we face potential shortages as outlined by AEMO but it is highly likely we will be required to pay a significantly higher price in order to compete for any available gas supplies. Lack of affordable gas has many consequences. Gas is not just an energy source but a key ingredient in industrial processes, such as fertiliser, plastics, pharmaceuticals, fabrics and is also used to manufacture a wide range of industrial products such as ammonia, methanol, butane, ethane, propane and acetic

acid. Gas is also used as a heat source to make glass, steel, cement, bricks, ceramics, tile, paper. Gas is also used by medical facilities for incineration of contaminated waste. The safe and sustainable development of the industry is critical, which is why NSW has introduced some of the toughest conditions in Australia regarding coal seam gas operations. New requirements include a twokilometre exclusion zone around residential and village areas, an aquifer interference policy, a code of practice for well integrity, banning harmful BTEX chemicals and evaporation ponds. In all there are 30 new measures. These requirements ensure world’s best practice is being

followed in NSW and that land and water are protected so farmers and industry can co-exist. The fact is in NSW over 400 heavy industrial users, about 35,000 NSW small businesses and 1.2 million households are reliant on gas supplies. This represents hundreds and hundreds of jobs. NSW is at a crucial stage for energy supply and the NSW government is determined to do what it can to head off the problem while balancing the diverse range of economic, social, environmental and energy security needs of the citizens of NSW.

The two-storey underground carpark is below the watertable and in my opinion will drain the area for up to 200 metres around the site, causing damage to adjacent wetlands and structural damage to surrounding buildings. This is not environmentally sustainable. Moving 40,000 cubic metres of toxic acid sulfate soil to an unknown location is only transferring the problem to a wider area. This is not sustainable. The landscaping with 50

The building design and materials proposed have a major carbon footprint with continuing high energy use and carbon output. This is not sustainable.

Q That Byron Council GM Ken Gainger is aware of the importance of a cost-benefit analysis is clear from his remarks in the agenda of last week’s council meeting, where in relation to the issue of whether county councils should be amalgamated he says: ‘It is proposed that it is timely for an independent evaluation to ascertain cost effectiveness and viability’. Why then was Ken okay about not getting a costbenefit analysis for any of the bypass options? He wasn’t even interested in looking at one supposedly prepared by Roads & Maritime Services until under pressure he has said that he’s now asked for a copy. Wow. I’m still waiting for a response to my FOI. I have to report that the latest urgent push for a quick bypass decision has come from staff rather than the elected councillors.

Protect wildlife

I applaud Byron Council’s recent decision to create clearer beach signage in relation to dangerous waters, an aspect of our natural environment, for visitors and locals alike. We don’t want another tragedy to occur when someone goes out for a surf. Would it be possible to have clearer beach signage in relation to the bird and ani-

does not appear to be economically workable as it is a minor branch line, so as a freight line it is not feasible, given the changes to local industry in the last 30 years. Also, no-one has pointed out the existing rail corridor is so close to and within the existing beachside erosion zone which is designated for building removal in a major storm. If we had a cyclone/storm as in the 1950s and 1970s the chances are the rail lines would be would be washed away. Bangalow Road heading south to Suffolk Park is a residential road and now a major arterial road to Suffolk Park, Lennox Head and Ballina. Many cyclists ride on the road as it is safer than the bicycle path. The mixture of blinded reverse driveways, pedestrians and truly bad crescents and curves make the designated bike path a deathtrap for cyclists. There is no scope to upgrade Bangalow Road to cater for increasing traffic or to create a safer bicycle path. In the last three

years the Suffolk Park end of town is starting to get traffic jams similar to those on Shirley Street at peak times. This is only going to increase in the future. The most rational and environmentally responsible way forward for our growing population is to use the railway corridor for a bypass, bicycle path and for parking. This would take a lot of pressure off Bangalow Road and it may give scope for Bangalow Road to become a quieter residential street rather than a major arterial road. I think the proposal for the bypass to start at Kendall Street and then proceed along Byron Street to the railway corridor and then continue along the railway corridor to Old Bangalow Road at the south end of town has the most merit. The Butler Street bypass is only a bandaid solution which entails the destruction of the amenity of an existing residential street. Gina Ghioni Byron Bay

mal habitats, another aspect of our natural environment, installed as well? Last week at the Clarkes Beach estuary/drain I witnessed a tourist shrieking and throwing sand and sticks at a bird behaving protectively as a result of having its nesting site disturbed. As the tide was up, she ventured into an area most locals know is off limits in order to proceed further up the beach without having to cross the estuary. Quite often I see beachgoers ignoring the dune protection fences, leaving litter about, bringing their dogs as well. With relation to the proposed relocation of the monthly markets to the beach foreshore – please don’t! It

would seem wise to heed the Clean and Green Team’s voice after all their years of caretaking this environmentally sensitive area. Phoebe Havyatt Byron Bay

Cobbled together

Rumour has it that Council is set to implement one of two road-maintenance strategies that are currently under consideration. Both promise to provide huge budget savings. Firstly, there are plans to introduce a more European mediaeval cobblestone effect for the CBD area. The cobblestone effect will be achieved by varying the levels of linked potholes which will encompass the entire road network. continued on page 14

I have written a book, soon to be released, examining the purported views of Muhammad himself.

There is no point in arguing against these statements. The evidence is massive. These are the reported facts. Muhammad is frequently held out as the perfect example of a Muslim man. It is therefore unsurprising that some Muslims believe that his deeds should be emulated to the letter. Beheadings, slavery, and the sexual use of children are simply shit Muhammad did. Repeatedly.

maintenance equipment required can be slashed to a number of nocturnal streetsweeping trucks affixed with grader blades. The only hurdle identified appears to be the transitioning of the roadway surface from loose gravel to the silky smooth bitumen surfaces that commence at locations such as the Ballina Shire boundary at one end and the Pacific Highway at the other. Should one of the above proposals be implemented, Council will gain the penultimate advantage of having more time available for discussing the less practical and thus more ephemeral and eclectic themes which abound in this region.

Festival of festivals

In a recent issue of The Echo there were six paid advertisements for festivals in which the word festival was used eight times. On pages 3, 5, 7, 9, 16, 26, 28, 30, and 33, the word festival appears 31 times in total, plus one festa and one fest. Is there anyone else out there who thinks we are just slightly overfestivalised?

that grace the very societies they clamour to live in. Ask Salman Rushdie. In 1989, Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa over his novel The Satanic Verses. With global reach, the fatwa commanded Muslims, for monetary reward, to kill Rushdie, booksellers and translators. Several translators were murdered. For western equivalents we have to go back four to five hundred years to the barbarities perpetrated against Tyndale, Bruno and Galileo. That same year, thousands of Muslim men, women and children blocked the Princes Highway in Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south in a loud, aggressive protest against Rushdie. These Muslim Australians called on Rushdie, booksellers and even readers here all to be killed. Women and kids carried signs advocating murder. Bookshops were directly threatened and most withdrew the book from sale. Over a decade before 9/11, here was the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Islamofascismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; identified by Christopher Hitchens as intrinsic to the religion, threatening values and freedoms fought for long and hard in western cultures.

Religions are just ideas; but ideas can be poisons. Islam poisoned Cat Stevens. He who wrote Peace Train had morphed into Yusuf Islam and added his endorsement to the fatwa to murder Salman Rushdie. Then just last year, Muslims held another violent demonstration in Sydney over the Innocence of Muslims video. Muslim kids carried signs saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Behead those who insult the prophetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The video had no connection with Australia. These threats of violence chill legitimate cultural analysis and criticism and creative literature. Salman Rushdie has commented that The Satanic Verses could not be published today. When Islamic leaders reciprocate the tolerance and acceptance they demand and publicly call for progressive reform of their faith and gender equality and when they anathematise the barbarities of jihad, sharia punishments and female genital mutilation, then we can take seriously the argument that Islam is at least no worse than Christianity.

rape. This approval has been given by environment minister (sic) Greg Hunt and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Authority, the very departments that should be protecting the already fragile reef. All the marine scientists who had input on the proposal made recommendations not to proceed with the dredging and dumping of the material on the reef. The people behind this port at Abbot Point are two Indian millionaires, and Gina Rinehart and Clive Palmer. The dredging will destroy seagrass beds and with that the dugongs will starve just like they did at Gladstone. The harbour there was also dredged, destroying dugong habitat and the fishing industry. The government at the time of Gladstone was under Anna Blighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Tony Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Labor party. The people in control (sic) of all this donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business as usual, burn more coal, bugger the natural environment. Karma has caught up with Nathan Tinkler. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope it catches up with this mob before the death of the reef. Paul Brecht Mullumbimby

Poochy poo

I am confused. In the Byron Bay area, with a predominantly left leaning community, where CSG is vehemently opposed, why do we allow our precious pooches access to our minute Arakwal National Park? Coming across dog excrement and unhinged animals running and barking freely in a wildlife reserve area, where our ever-dwindling fauna population tries to eke out an existence, is disappointing. This is like shitting in our own nest. Adam Wheatley Byron Bay

What might we learn from the gannets? ‘man’ was also ‘harvester, conservator and protector’. One such example was Myggenaes, of the Faroes Islands, where inhabitants set upper limits before harvesting. By 1939, the North Atlantic populations had only recovered to half of what was known in 1834. Only by 2004 were they finally about par. A hundred and seventy years is a long recovery time. Five or six generations of gannets, three or four of people. Protection of colonies does help. Great Britain set the world’s first Seabird Conservation Law in 1869. In Canada, such a law was in place from the year 1917. New Zealand, 1953. For the eight Australian

The group of gannets circle over the back breakers and plunge into the water between the last waves. The dolphins are also in the chase, herding the unseen prey along the beach toward the lighthouse. The wind sweeps up the waves, fanning the crest into a thin spray, blowing ashore, tasting to me like wild kisses. Who will tell where they come from and where will they go? It’s open knowledge that Australasian gannets (Morus serrator) wander the seas some 13,000 kilometres between here, down to Bass Strait and away to Norfolk Island and New Zealand. Their wingspan is nearly two metres. Their dive speed reaches 100 kilometres per hour as they drop from 30m above water to 10m below. Air sacs in the face and chest cushion the impact. Underwater, their eyes instantly adjust as they wing towards the fish or squid. As successful hunters, living 30–40 years, bonding in pairs to raise chicks in colonies perched near good food sources, they ought to

be signs to observers about marine conditions. What’s not quite clear is what gannets indicate. They don’t offer morality lessons: they form pairbonds that last for years but will adopt new partners if previous ones don’t return in time for the breeding season. The old stereotype of gannets as thieving greedy-guts is mistaken: each colony has its own well-defined fishing areas, respected

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

by the birds of each group. Sometimes they signal trouble in ‘real time’: their chicks died of starvation when populations of small food fishes collapsed in South Africa (1960s), Barents Sea (1980s) and the North Sea (1990s). They track oceanographic changes, starting new colonies in places better served by changes in the locations of fish, which respond to big weather patterns such

as the Southern Oscillation. Then again, they sometimes implicate certain peoples more directly. From 1939 till 1944, Fisher and Vevers from Oxford surveyed Northern Gannets (Morus bassana). They compiled older records for 27 colonies, showing that numbers dropped by half due to the ‘mass destruction by man.’ But they considered the colonies individually and pointed out examples where

colonies, protection was set only since the 1980s. Now the total population is about half of what they were known to be in one Bass Strait island colony in 1908. The population in 1808 is unknown. Today, gannet numbers are increasing. But their new knack in diving for small fish baited on longlines – and being snagged and drowned there – suggests their future is still uncertain. For right now, the surest knowledge intersects with daily life. Small fish swallowed become gannets wheeling away. Each bird learns, every colony consolidates. Gannets prove adaptable and observant. They must be watching us. What do we indicate?

More than 200 people welcomed John Martin at the Byron Theatre on 25 September. Among them were therapists and healers from different countries who joined forces with John, creating a powerful vortex of energy. After encoding it with shapes, colours, even sounds, it was released into the universe in the form of energetic particles of beautiful intentions. One of the attendees reports: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It felt like being sprinkled with love and colourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Other people reported instant release and a strong feeling of interconnection. Adding another dimension to the event was violinist Ziva Altman, who performed while Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angelic Healing Music was playing. John will be recreating this magic in several other places during his Australian tour. Next stop is Melbourne. 6685 8366 | www.johnmartinhealer.com

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating when your brain isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working properly. Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise that a major cause of brain fog, headaches, anxiety, chronic pain and even migraines comes from tension in the bones of the skull and that through simple cranial rebalancing many of these problems can be eased. It is amazing how great you can feel after cranial balancing. Dr David Ackerman, chiropractor, specialises in cranial healing, using two powerful cranial modalities: Craniosacral Balancing and NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR). Craniosacral Balancing is a gentle, deeply healing modality that releases tension at the core of the body. NCR is shared as a 4-day treatment series and is a stronger cranial therapy and brings excellent results for many conditions as well as more energy and mental emotional balance. Private health rebates available and Medicare rebates may apply. For more information or free DVD on NCR please contact David on 0437 034 197.

You will also develop deep body awareness that will help you with your posture and any physical activities such as sport or yoga. Private sessions and classes available.

New approach to treating eczema a blessing. There is an increasing incidence in the number of people presenting with eczema (and dermatitis). Over the last 28 years, medical researcher Dr Tirant has identified two types of triggers that cause the condition to become active. Primary triggers (including medications, vaccinations, distress and viral infections) initiate the f lare-up. Secondary triggers (including diet, chemical, hormonal and environmental sensitivities) may continue to exacerbate the condition. While utilising this valuable resource, practitioner Barry Donnelly BHSc CM ND WHM N is achieving exceptional results, for example:

‘Mick’ (a lifelong sufferer) presented at the Good Skin Clinic with eczema. On his first visit to the clinic, Mick’s skin was extremely itchy, red and inf lamed. Scratch marks were present on his legs, arms and over most of his body. The condition was also causing him many sleepless nights. Mr Donnelly found a number of foodrelated triggers and reactions to different materials such as some found in his bedding and clothing. The initial improvements in Mick’s skin were seen within a week of starting treatment. By six weeks he was back to sleeping seven hours a night and his skin was increasingly clear. The Good Skin Clinic protocols for eczema and other skin conditions including psoriasis, pigmentation, acne, psoriatic arthritis, rosacea, ichthyosis, nail / fungal infections and pruritus (itching) are only available from the Good Skin Clinic. 1300 956 566 | barry@feelinggr8.net.au | www.northernrivers.goodskincare.com.au.

Fathers Day was inaugurated in the United States in the early 20th century to complement Mothers Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting. After the success obtained by Anna Jarvis with the promotion of Mothers Day in Grafton, West Virginia, the first observance of Fathers Day was held on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia, in the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South, now known as Central United Methodist Church. Grace Golden Clayton was mourning the loss of her father when, in December 1907, the Monongah Mining Disaster in nearby Monongah killed 361 men, 250 of them fathers, leaving around a thousand fatherless children. Clayton suggested to her pastor Robert Thomas Webb to honour all those fathers. Clayton’s event did not have repercussions outside of Fairmont for several reasons, among them: the city was overwhelmed by other

events, the celebration was never promoted outside of the town itself and no proclamation was made in the city council. Also two events overshadowed this event: the celebration of Independence Day – July 4, 1908, with 12,000 attendants and several shows including a hotair balloon event, which took over the headlines in the following days, and the death of a 16-year-old girl on July 4. The local church and council were overwhelmed and they did not even think of promoting the event, and it was not celebrated again for many years. The original sermon was not reproduced in the press and it was lost. Finally, Clayton was a quiet person, who never promoted the event or even talked to other persons about it. Clayton also may have been inspired by Anna Jarvi’s crusade to establish Mothers Day; two months prior, Jarvis had held a celebration for her dead mother in Grafton, West Virginia, a town about 15 miles (24km) away from Fairmont.

Pub guide: tap into value and choice Guide and photos by Matthew Michaelis

ubs these days are a long way from the stereotype that’s been at the heart of the Aussie culture since women had to drink away from their blokes and pie and mash were the table settings. The convoy of bar foods served to accompany grog is being replaced with choices of the sort that would have inhabited ‘members only’ establishments a few decades

ago. Back in those days, the non-gratis degustation started with little serviette-lined baskets filled with cheese cubes, cabanossi, sides of red and green pickled onions and Jatz crackers. The next course upped the ante with stainless ovals brimming with small sausage rolls, party pies and the grand finale (if you were lucky) baskets piled with chips and garnished with minced fish bites. The bar menu was about feeding the patron while they continued

knocking a few drinks down. It was a way of keeping the loyal customers coming back to wet their whistles. The food was a comfy extension

of home. Mash, gravy, peas, a roast, steak or schnitzel. These days, we’ve decided to fess-up to our indiscretions and dubious culinary ways. The responsible publican is now firmly in charge, guided by the Responsible Service of Alcohol laws while keeping the tastebuds at peace and the stomachs lined so we don’t wind up in a state on the doorstep. The changing face of the patron also has hotel owners looking at the bigger picture: healthier takes on

classic ingredients, modern menus, proud chefs and clean, pleasant, renovated spaces to eat the food in. All this and a reasonably priced drink and beer. What’s on offer at your local pub is worth a look. Here’s cheers to the effort many hotels are putting in to please, and keep, customers coming through their doors. I’ve listed some notables here with a snapshot that includes a keyhole to the sort of choices available. If you’d like some more you’ll have to rock up and try your nearest local pub eatery.

Billinudgel Hotel – still going strong

Ocean Shores Tavern – park your tastebuds here

Hotel Brunswick – a classic Aussie family pub

Middle Pub Mullumbimby – extensive menu, great value

At one hundred and six years old, this is truly an original and authentic Aussie pub. It’s like the Jurassic Park of hotels. Not that you’ll find living fossils at the bar, but it’s certainly an interesting place to visit. The fascia is testimony to its years of service, and it has a handwritten bistro blackboard to accompany the atmosphere.

Don’t be fooled by the carpark surrounds, this is as snug a spot as any around. An attractive and contemporary refurb inside awaits any patron from business to parent, with a fun games room for kids too. Generous and well-plated meals, value specials and a la carte menu. Well-made coffee and fresh local sweets. Leave your car outside and park here for a while.

This 1940s Art Deco-style pub is a local favourite for many. A huge seating area is flanked by choice in food, beverages and out-staged entertainment. For kids, teens and the entire family it’s wholly complete. The classic pub grub is alive and well: generously plated meals, specials, a la carte, coffee, cake and dessert.

The Middle Pub has all the stuff of any upright local hotel. Take yourself into the dining areas and polished floors and smart fittings come with the meal. A staple in Mullum town since 1904, the place has history along with its very well-priced menu. Eat on the balcony upstairs for a treat.

Federal Hotel Alstonville Richmond Hotel Lismore – new classics, familiar seats – two for lunch and ‘The Fed’, as this Hotel is affectionately called, two for tea is Alstonville’s iconic Federal Hotel and has welcomed locals and tourists alike for more than 100 years. More than a favourite watering-hole, The Fed is a local institution; a place where you’ll be eating in a relaxed no-frills atmosphere.

The Richmond Hotel in Lismore offers the hungry patron double the choice with two eateries – Lizzies and The Terrace Bistro. Locals describe the hotel as one of the best pubs in Lismore. John and Carol Quilkey have created a style and atmosphere that incorporates and enhances the good food and service.

Playthings for the folks, reasonably priced food and drink, pool tables and other temptations too. While the parents are occupied, the kids have fabulous food and a playground to corral them in. The hot rock is the latest addition to a great menu, sizzling, scorching and generous fare. A modern local pub with the good old-fashioned hospitality.

If you dislike awesome food, despise friendly locals and live entertainment and are repulsed by relaxed and easygoing surrounds then the Rails kitchen is not for you. This is the state of things at the Rails dining all the time.

Hats in the air for a good Harvest Matthew Michaelis

n an ill-fated trek, I’d become stuck somewhere between Lismore and Eltham. My phone was rendered useless, not a mobile signal coming from any of the cows. Siri, the Apple voice of reason, was a ghost and I was without a clue as to where I began or where I was going. I was feeling like Doctor Who after a regeneration – a little confused and a lot peckish, and somehow I’d wiped the online map positions. So here I was; three cows peering contemptuously at me. ‘Silly bugger!’, the cows would have agreed if they could talk. I decided to drive and see where I ended up. I came to the end of the road and a T, which luckily was main street Newrybar. The town here houses the three lovingly restored buildings that are the Harvest Cafe and deli with its 103-year-old oven and bakery next door, and all were too tempting for me to pass them by. Harvest presents like a drop-in cafe, but a part of me felt it perhaps wasn’t entirely the casual spot that the front entrance had suggested. I was in between, a limbo of not quite lunch and not afternoon delight. There were no ‘lunch is over’ quips in earshot, so I continued.

The interior dining room is at once cosy and comfortable; a fireplace was fully aflame with lounges bordering. A sated diner sat thumbing some glossy mag. I love and appreciate the little things people do. Potted fresh flowers sit comfortably in nearly every corner of this place – every nook – even the loo featured a fabulous arrangement of gum and jonquil. It’s a casual and elegant setting with a less casual service. Tables are everywhere and for early in the week, several are seated and are well into doing lunch. I had no trouble finding my place with help from a particularly experienced waitperson (staff here are spunky while not too overbearing). It’s a perfectly lovely fit-out. Art sits well positioned in windows and on walls. Tasteful and easy on the eye. The lighting follows suit. This menu provided me with a decidedly grown-up vegetarian choice. Not a common thing to see, and a perfect match as earlier in the day, so as not to offend, I ate a side of beef (a plate I’d been photographing). So, here a few hours later I needed light fare. Both my main and dessert were served on glazed clay plates. I get it, the wholeness theme perhaps, and

in a sense fresh and away from large-format white crockery. And wholesome it was. Smoky mayo and a well-flavoured cauliflower dish came flecked with toasted macadamia nuts plonked with light-fingered placements. The flavours worked though. Crumble came next. The rhubarb was tart, not inside a pastry case, but of the uplifting sort that produces tears. The handmade ‘Hay’ icecream with toasted oats, macadamia nuts and seeds sweetened and completed the combo. Make ‘Hay’ while the sun shines, I thought, and so I did – order a further

scoop of the ice cream to ease the pain of the first separation. Both these dishes embody the Harvest concept down to the plates holding them. Fresh and organic and perhaps even straight from their five-acre organic plot. A proper vegetable dish if you’re an ardent vegetarian. New head chef Brett Cameron is no stranger to the little ‘hat’ symbols, having maintained two hats during his time in the Four in Hand in Paddo in Sydney. No doubt he’s champing at the bit to raise a hat or two onto the Harvest’s already good name. Until

then, it’s hats off to a smooth operation, seasonal and local produce and a heritage siding where good and well-trained hospitality flourishes. Q

HENDERSON’S X FACTOR

THIS WEEK’S INTERVIEW

PUTTING BLUES IN THE NEWS

Harry Manx has spent decades fusing eastern musical traditions with the blues, switching between conventional acoustic and electric guitars, the banjo and his Mohan veena, created by Harry’s Indian mentor Vishw Mohan Bhatt.

Twenty year old Geelong boy Taylor Henderson is making his mark. After being a finalist on X Factor in 2013, Taylor’s star has been on the rise ever since. ‘I remember trying to get gigs around my home town,’ laughs Taylor. ‘I used to have to busk in the street. ‘I went to this bar, and man did I try to get a gig there, and when you go back the fourth time you start to think maybe they don’t want you here! ‘I tell you what – they have been trying to get me back to play in that bar for a long time now!’ Although Henderson is aware that his hometown rejections are probably what propelled him to a bigger playing field. ‘I am grateful for the NOs because if it had been YES I probably would be still in Geelong making $27.35 a gig!’ While on the weekly Talent Show Henderson learnt to perform under pressure. ‘I soon learnt that it doesn’t matter whoever is on the show because you are all on the same level, you are all there competing, and at the end of the week you have two minutes on the stage to prove why you are there. Wherever you finish up on that show is almost irrelevant; it’s up to the individual to maintain their career when you leave.’ According to Henderson, that’s when the real work begins. ‘I am still the same. I remember when I got off the show and until now whenever I do a gig I still think, gee I hope someone comes! I say to my team, is anyone out there?’ For Henderson it’s an anxiety with positive results, as his shows have been selling out around the country. ‘Walking out to 1,000 people is incredible – I guess one of the amazing things – when you walk onto a stage. I don’t know what they’ve seen; maybe they’ve followed me on a show, and maybe they like my music and whatever they have built up in their minds.’ Being on stage feels very natural for Taylor. ‘Sometimes when you are on stage, it’s nothing

When his Mohan veena went missing from a Chicago airport baggage carousel earlier this year, Harry was distraught.

like you as a person, and I know what it’s like on X Factor – I was nervous and I’d get on stage. It’s a very intimidating vibe because when you have to get it right. Now when I tour and when I am on stage, it’s not that there are mistakes but if you are singing a song and someone yells out it’s great because you can muck around, or stop the band or have a chat! ‘I am such a perfectionist, and everyone gets to that point when they are in the comp; when you get it wrong and you feel like going into hiding. It’s funny because I never would have said this a few weeks ago but when you do stuff up there is a side of people that relates. When I was on the show I tried my best to be the best I could be. Even my new album is a testament to that: it’s about me, it’s my own songs.’ Henderson walked off X Factor straight into a deal with Sony.

‘I waited until everyone was gone,’ said Harry, ‘and when the baggage guys told me they had put it there I came apart a bit! I was thinking, oh man, this is the worst moment of my life! I cried like a baby. I felt like I had lost a friend. I’d had that instrument for 20 years. I went to a gig that night and put a note on Facebook and I saw 60,000 people had read it and then 150,000 and three days later five-and-a-half million had read it. I began to think I don’t care about it now, look at the friends I have! It went viral and made it to the front page of all the newspapers. It became an issue of theft at the airport and the lack of proaction. The police contacted me; they were feeling the heat, because they got pressure; they set up a sting and caught the guy. As it turned out he was completely homeless; he called someone and they bought my instrument back.’ The power of social media had uncovered his musical friend in days. ‘I swear it sounds better,’ says Harry. ‘I am listening to it now, and I think just having it is a gift.

‘I read the contract carefully. They shook ‘I have already written a few songs,’ says my hand and said congratulations you are Harry, ‘like nothing fails like success. a recording artist.

is the only guy I play with. If I’m not with him I’ll play solo. ‘When musicians are getting fluent on their instrument they can just converse with each other in a relaxed manner; it takes a few years to get to that and it’s great to have that with Clayton. He is the master of reading my body language; I just have to think about something and he’s onto it. ‘I play a lot on this tour – when we’re not gigging I am pretty lazy – I will go to cafes and wait for the next wave. I am 60 now and I started in this industry at 15. It’s been a long time; it’s one of those things. Existence will provide a break for me. I am gigging as much as they will have me! I started out as a roadie with bands in my teenage years, then I became a musician. I had a long period of 20 years when I worked on the street in Europe or Japan. It’s not always easy but I chose it so I guess that made it easier. That led to my playing on the stage; it was what took me there.’ Harry promises something for everyone at his upcoming shows. ‘I am playing songs from my last CD Om Sweet Om – I play old songs as well. I mix it up. You don’t want to see your artists playing all new songs! I have been getting sitting ovations wherever I go,’ laughs Harry, who admits to possibly slowing down next year after the release of his 14th CD… ‘but I don’t know’. Harry Manx plays the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Thursday and the Currumbin Soundlounge on Friday.

Harry is joined by his musical comrade Clayton Doley on keyboards. ‘He has been all over the world with me,’ says Harry. ‘Clayton

E EMPIRE CAFE LUKE BENNETT PLAYS TH DAY IN MULLUMBIMBY ON FRI

LISTENING TO LUKE Luke Bennett grew up falling asleep to the sounds of Fleetwood Mac, and it wasn’t until he was 14 that Tasmania-born Bennett woke up and started to learn the guitar himself. After completing his bedroom apprenticeship he found a natural expression that balanced some of the catchy pop sensibility of artists such as John Mayer and the stripped-back earthiness of Jack Johnson. This is music to feed the soul. He plays the Empire Cafe in Mullumbimby on Friday.

IT’S NOT OVER TILL IT’S AKOVA!

With the return of banjo slinger Uncle Burnin’ Love, the band will reprise road songs from their seven-album repertoire, featuring the steel guitar and banjo partnership that gave the band their distinctive sound when they formed way back in 2001. From the prairies of Canada, where they’ve toured three times, to the sophisticated cities of Europe, where they played forty gigs in two months in 2014, The Re-Mains have seen it all, and they bring it to you on a balmy spring afternoon minus the flat tyres, endless driving and with a new album in hand – In The Valley. At the Court House this Sunday for a double-bill doubleheader! From 8pm.

There is something I have noticed about some gluten-intolerant people. It seems that in line with the condition of not being able to tolerate wheat, they also can’t tolerate humour, joy, sarcasm, selfreflection or laughter. I have been making a fairly harmless joke about the growing hordes of glutenintolerant folk for years. I address the audience with a confession, like I’ve just been to the doctor. I say ‘I’ve just found out that I am gluten-intolerant intolerant. I actually can’t tolerate gluten-intolerant people.’ Everyone always laughs. (Except at the celiac conference; they were a tad frosty.) People laugh because we’ve all been exposed to the demands, complaints and ‘specialness’ of gluten-intolerant people. I am sorry, glutenintolerant people, but you are generally found to be a little bit irritating. And before you start getting on your gluten-free horse, have a good look at me: clearly I am gluten intolerant, I just push through. I would rather be bloated, have digestive discomfort and feel occasionally nauseous than make trouble. I love bread. It’s my heroin. Most gluten-free people get the joke, they appreciate the irony, and by doing so they prove that there are many glutenfree people who aren’t annoying. But, I am sad to say, there is a small percentage who are on the critical list. Like Breadroll Woman. A few months ago I performed at a ladies’ luncheon. I was a hit. The women were air-punching, lifting me on their shoulders and whooping like banshees. I think it would be fair to say that although most of them were a few king-size 1,000-thread sheet sets to the wind, they’d developed a bit of a girl crush on me. As far as I could tell everything went pretty well.

ON BUCKMAN COE AT THE BYR Y DA UR SAT ON ERY BREW

A few weeks later I get a call from the people at the Anti-Discrimination Board telling me that Breadroll Woman has made a complaint. You see, she saw me talking to the proprietor of the restaurant and she was convinced that I had been told she was gluten intolerant and that my gluten jokes were aimed at her. The clincher was she said when she got the wrong bread roll. How self-absorbed do you have

Hometown favourites Shake Appeal are set to wind back the clock when they let loose in the front bar of the Billinudgel Hotel this Friday from 8pm. With Big Jase out front, Bigger Karl on the kit, Slightly Smaller Mick on guitar and Stumpy Greg on bass these boys will get the joint jumpin’ like it used to with their authentic take on a great mix of killer hits.

Twelve years on the road have given country rock and roll experts The Re-Mains a whole swag of rambunctious stories, which they’ll deliver in fine style when they play the Court House, Mullum, with Brisbane dare-diva Jackie Marshall as part of their winter north coast run. Originally formed in Nimbin in 2001, the Re-Mains have since played every festival, outback bar and inner-city dive in the country.

CONQUERING HATE A quote attributed to the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche states: ‘Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal’. A perfect example of the resolute handful, Nietzsche was generically referring to is the Vancouver-based singer/songwriter/multiinstrumentalist Buckman Coe. A passionate activist and believer in the power of music and art to help shape a brighter future, Coe chose his path long ago. And as he follows it, he will remain in stoic pursuit of his goal to effect positive change for as long as there is breath in his body. Saturday at the Brewery from 8pm. Free entry.

to be to think that at a luncheon with 200 women that anyone would bother singling you out? Clearly Breadroll Woman was a few rolls short of a basket. I had to make a statement to the people at Discrimination to prove that it was a misunderstanding. Since when does antidiscrimination cover the gluten intolerant anyway? I’m all good with it covering women, people of ethnic origin, people of different religions, gay and lesbian community, the disabled, the elderly, Jewish lesbian dwarfs needing wheelchair parking. But gluten-intolerant people using up taxpayers’ money to push themselves to the front of the long queue of oppressed peoples? Give me a fucking break. What’s next? Special parking outside Woolies? Right next to the two disabled parks and the parents with prams (which btw I always park in because it was never around when I had a pram so I’m using up my 14-year backlog) – are they going to install Gluten-Free Parking? So people can buy their boring gluten-free food and drive home in their gluten-free car to their gluten-free house and sit on the gluten-free couch and read gluten-free stories to their gluten-free kids? Of course they’ll have to make a call to the people at Anti-Discrimination because they can’t read Hansel & Gretel. That gingerbread house was not gluten free and clearly that witch was that evil gluten-guzzling bitch Mandy Nolan. They’ll try a gluten-free version of Hansel and Gretel but the gingerbread house will collapse on the second page because you just can’t make a house with rice flour. That is a bit of a summary of what my statement for the people at Anti-Discrimination was like. I still can’t get over someone thinking getting the wrong bread roll was not just a simple mistake but some sort of personal vendetta. I’ll show you personal, Breadroll Lady! Personal is when the Tip Top truck pulls up at your house and delivers 100 pallets of white sliced. Should be there in about two days.

ENTERTAINMENT QUEEN OF TWIN TOWNS

DALLAS COMES TO TOWN Local singer/songwriter Dallas James found himself in the spotlight recently when he made it to loungerooms around the country on The Voice. Humble and unassuming, this committed musician is certainly worth watching. He spoke with The Echo about his gig coming up at the Hotel Great Northern. Dallas, how was the experience of going on The Voice for you? The experience was one of the most intense and interesting experiences of my life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; terrifying, challenging and humbling. One of the most intense character-development exercises Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through. Has it changed you as a musician? It has more so changed me as a person. My music is still the same, it has just taught me to believe in myself more. What is your day-to-day approach to music? Let it come from the heart and soul and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t struggle with it, just flow with it.

ANAID AT BANGALOW HOTEL

Truth, effortlessness, honesty, good fun, good vibes.

What is it about being a musician that keeps you hooked? The feeling of being in the flow; the sensation that this was what I was born to do, and my mind being clear and free. What should we expect for your show at the Hotel Great Northern?

RUFFING IT AT THE CHANNON

From the streets of Barcelona to touring alongside the likes of The Killers, Angus and Julia Stone, Lanie Lane and Kim Churchill, Steve Smyth has proven time and time again to be devastating in a live setting. A voice churned up in bourbon-soaked Louisiana gravel that soars to the heavens at times with its sweetnessâ&#x20AC;Ś after experiencing Steve Smyth, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempting to compare him with some of the great vocalists of the past few decades. Steve plays the Rails on Thursday.

The much-loved tribute show and full concert experience Queen is at Twin Towns this week. The show recreates Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1986 World Tour concert, featuring more than 20 of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest hits such as We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions and Fat-Bottomed Girls. Painstaking detail has been paid to all the music â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the iconic voice of Mercury, the amazing guitar solos of May and the groundbreaking rock harmonies. And with state-of-the-art sound and lighting and an explosive international cast, this is as close as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever get to the real thing. Saturday at Twin Towns at 8.30pm.

The show at the Northern is unlike my solo show, although I will be opening the night with a solo set. Most people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there by then so they will mainly see the set with my band The Grains. I have a kind of musical split personality, so the solo set will show my mellow heartfelt side; the set with The Grains will show my side that likes to rock out and have fun with friends. In the past Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve struggled to find which side of me is really me, but then I realised that both are and to just embrace all of it.

After nearly a year in the studio with English producer Steve James (Screaming Jets, Skunkhour), independent rocker Diana Anaid, who captured our hearts in the 90s with the Triple J hit I Go Off, returns to the Bangalow Hotel showcasing her gutsy and heartfelt performance. Dianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top 10 hits in the US and here at home, as well as her ARIA nominations and thriving fanbase, go a long way to illustrate why she is one of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most loved musicians. In the words of Iain Sheddon, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one Diana Anaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She plays the Bangalow Hotel on Friday.

LOTS AND LOTS OF SALT Last week my interview crashed, but this week the line was loud and clear for my chat with Cheryl ‘Salt’ James of the American hip-hop outfit that came out of Queens in the late 1980s. In an era where men dominated the scene and women were objectified in skimpy outfits dancing up the back, these girls rocked the skimpy outfits front and centre and turned a male industry on its head.

YS ON EARTH NICK CAVE: 20,000 DA CE CINEMA SCREENING AT PALA ON THURSDAY

Aussie expat and indie darling Nick Cave is the subject of a new film 20,000 Days on Earth, a fictitious 24 hours in the life of the musician and international cultural icon, the debut feature by innovative visual artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, who have worked extensively with Cave on various projects over the past seven years. Rather than making a straightforward documentary, the filmmakers constructed scenarios to take place over a hypothetical day, giving Cave the opportunity to authentically respond, to talk about himself and his ideas in ways that would extract something new, meaningful and substantial. Palace Byron Bay Cinema in limited release from Thursday.

BALLINA’S CLOUDLAND

Paul Hayman’s Not Strictly Ballroom – The Story of Cloudland is one show not to be missed. The Cloudland ballroom was a Brisbane landmark for more than 40 years and was the social hub of the city during the 50s, 60s and 70s. Ballina RSL on Saturday at 8.30pm. Tix $30 at the club.

DEATH AND PREDATION

a couple of coldies and some live music!

Australian philosophers Richard and Val Routley were internationally renowned for their pioneering environmental philosophy. Among many topics, they tackled the issue of our seeming unconstrained predation on non-human animals for food as contrasted with our abhorrence at the suggestion that they might prey on and kill us. At the heart of it lies a false assumption of human mastery over non-humans and the associated view that ultimately we are more valuable than anything else. Byron Philo Cafe presents a talk by Dr Dominic Hyde, a senior lecturer in philosophy at the University of Queensland whose recent work has been in environmental philosophy. He has recently published an intellectual biography about the Routleys, titled Ecological Lives: the philosophical lives of Richard Routley/Sylvan and Val Routley/ Plumwood. Friday at Luscious Foods on the Byron Arts and Industry Estate. From 5.30pm.

MULLUM MUSIC FEST GETS THE ROYALE TREATMENT The Bombay Royale are an experience. Eleven characters creating live vintage Bollywood-inspired sound from lonesome spaghetti to surf rock to spinebending space disco, all overlaid with the voices of protagonists The Tiger and The Lady singing in Hindi, Bengali and various other languages. Conceived by The Skipper, The Bombay Royale are fast becoming one of the most engaging, in-demand and original shows on the festival circuit. Parvyn is The Lady, a spellbinding siren with an intimate blend of western and eastern vocal styles. This woman also ties a sarong in five seconds flat, so watch out. The daughter of Dya Singh, Parvyn chanted before she could walk. She has made learning the classical Indian music and dance traditions her life’s work. ‘I do a style of dance called Kathak, which is north Indian classical; it looks like flamenco but without shoes and you have bells around your ankles. I study that and also vocal khayal, which is classical vocal, that is the traditional classical style – what you would use doing ragas. The Bombay Royale create a live musical setting that takes the audience on a filmic journey. The Bombay Royale are one of the exciting headline acts coming to Mullum Music Festival over 20–23 November. For ticket and program enquiries go to mullummusicfestival.com.

ENTERTAINMENT

Stars This week spring’s ofﬁcially sprung, signifying time for spring cleaning, inside and out. Houses, bodies, minds, ﬁles, wardrobes, sheds, pantries and habits…

ARIES: Your ardent energy’s best directed this week towards getting rid of stuff you don’t need anymore, including regret for things that didn’t work out the way you wanted. Emphasis in your house of health also recommends researching stress-reducing strategies. Thrilling? Probably not. Rewarding? For sure.

LIBRA: This week favours time-saving, energy-efficient ways of operating, along with some necessary concessions to healthier living. As astral influences narrow the gap between wishful thinking and practical realities, how to navigate September’s celestial variations? On stress-busters that leave you feeling good rather than guilty.

LEO: This week wants files in order, paperwork up to date, docs sorted. Sounding like a ticket to Dullsville? Then delegate, Majesty. Because you’ll need to be organised for the beneficial Jupiter/Uranus alliance which positively pulses with planetary support for shrewd financial moves, sensible investments and new business clients.

SCORPIO: September’s solar flare in your house of social activities asks you to consider realistically what you have, what you need, and what you have to give, before outgoing midweek moon flings opens doors for collaborative opportunities and ambitious late-week moon sends you following up these leads.

TAURUS: Organisation’s the flavour of the coming month and this week favours a realistic appraisal of associates, activities and habit patterns with a view to restructuring friendships and alliances. Meaning it’s time to decide what connections you really want to renew, and which to bid a graceful adieu.

GEMINI: Your mentor planet Mercury moving into the sign of diplomatic negotiations (and your house of selfexpression) make you this week’s eloquent broker of workable solutions and user-friendly compromises. Your most satisfying results are likely to show up in September’s featured arena, the home zone.

Mungo’s Crossword 1

CANCER: It’s easy this week to criticise and complain, more rewarding to be grateful and appreciative. Easy to focus on what’s wrong or missing than look for what’s actually there. That said, if nothing will do but a therapeutic whinge-and-bitchfest, then go for it and move on…

VIRGO: You Virgos can get nervy around your birthdays, as many people do. No need, with this week’s stars writing you rave reviews. Just remember that while criticism’s tempting, elegance is necessary; so rather than calling someone a liar, you might compliment them on their brilliant gift for fiction.

If I weren’t a comedian I would have been a great… dog trainer. Well maybe not a great one but certainly enthusiastic and well studied. None of that pack-leader ‘dominance’ rubbish. Just simple, easy ways to communicate with your dog. Ohhh, I love dogs. They’re the best.

N035 6

7 8

I think that god is… causing a whole lot of trouble in this world.

SAGITTARIUS: With an astral assist in your house of public life, networking is professionally beneficial – especially now that congenial wordster Mercury’s moved into the sign of sweet-talkers. Though it’s worthwhile remembering round midweek Sagittarius moon to keep your mind sharp and your tongue soft.

LETTING THE KITTY OUT OF THE BAG

She’s probably one of the funniest people on the planet, and up until recently comedian Kitty Flanagan has been one of Australia’s best-kept secrets. Now a regular on The Project and selling out shows across the country, Flanagan is on fire. She comes to Byron this week to give a sneak preview performance of her brand-new show. My mother always told me… not to eat while walking in the street; it looks common. And she’s right you know. Much better to always sit down and enjoy your food.

N O R PA P R E S E N TS B E L L S H A K E S P E A R E ’ S

CAPRICORN: Emphasis in your house of long-range plans puts study, travel and self-improvement on September’s agenda. But when Venus books into simpatico Virgo for a month of earth-centred pleasures, she’ll insist on a declutter first. Too busy? Pay a professional. You’re worth it.

AQUARIUS: Your boss planet Uranus in the sign of reinventing yourself continues challenging you to adapt to the accelerating download of new information, which research shows is ab fab for brain plasticity. This week your body wants to catch up, so listen to what it’s telling you it needs.

PISCES: This week helps resist magical thinking. Fortunately, because its emphasis is in your seventh house of teamwork and competitors. Top marks if you can actually manage to charm rivals into becoming allies; if not then just be aware of what they’re up to. And keep one step ahead.

Last time I went skinny dipping… oh funny, it’s very un-Byron of me but I don’t think I’ve ever been skinny dipping in my life. I am that uptight. Getting older is… fine mentally, a little depressing physically. People who text all the time… shit me to tears. Especially at a table. All phones off the table, people, it’s just bad manners.

Tony Abbott should… Stop talking? Step aside? Respect international law and human rights? All of the above? At the very least he should do a public-speaking course. A leader on the international stage needs to be able to speak intelligently and at pace. Abbott is so unworldly the way he struggles… to… put… a… sentence… together. Seriously, people? Who voted for this clown?

When I’m flying I really hate it when… the cabin crew tell you to turn off your Kindle. I mean, come on! The only way my Kindle is going to interfere with the navigational equipment is if I take it into the cockpit and start battering things with it.

When it comes to doing my bit for the environment… I’m a bad person. I take really long showers. I love showers. I come up with so many ideas in the shower.

The surprising thing about the world is… the number of powerful people that seriously have no conscience or scruples.

What annoys those closest to me the most about me is… that I always take over and want to do things my way. I’m so bossy; it’s quite unbearable. Something I can’t do but would love to is… carpentry and cabinet making. I bloody love tools, just wish I could use them properly. My favourite Sunday consists of… heavy rain so I can justify staying indoors to watch a box set of something.

At school I realised… that constantly being a smartarse is really annoying. Got to know when to shut it down.

If I could star in any film it would be… anything with Matt Damon in it. ’Cos he’s funny. And we’d have a love scene. But tasteful. No nudity of course. When I give my acceptance speech at the Oscars I will start by thanking… my sister Penny. She’s so inspiring. She decided to be in the arts long before I did. She was the one bold enough to say I’m going to be a singer. And I’m going to be a writer. Eventually I thought, if she can do it, I can do it. I owe her. What I like to give people when I’m on stage is… hard laughs and the feeling that we’re all like-minded folk, loving and hating the same stuff. I know I’ve done a good show when someone comes up to me afterwards and says, ‘Oh my god, you say exactly what I’m thinking!’ Byron Theatre, Community Centre, Thursday and Friday. Tickets 6685 6807.

WATERING THE TREE OF LIFE! Many people know the horrible statistic that an area of forest the size of a soccer pitch is cut down every second, but feel powerless to do anything about it. Eight local women are carrying the banner for tropical reforestation by doing what they love – creating theatre. Tree of Life, directed by Philippa Williams of Theatre of Life, is a poetical soul journey celebrating our connection to nature and, in particular, to the Tree of Life, which spans time, culture and continent as a mighty image appearing in art, poetry, story, philosophy and religion. Texts range from the 6th century BC to contemporary Australian poet Judith Wright, and are seamlessly woven together with the stunning choreography of Tracie Crockford and music by Kaia Moon. Come along to the Drill Hall Theatre, Mullumbimby, on Saturday and Sunday at 7.30pm to plant a tree and watch a wonderful piece of theatre. Tickets $22 and $18 concession from the Mullumbimby Bookshop. Visit the website at www.theatre-of-life.org.

A TRIP TO MOROCCO WITH NADINE There’s nothing more frustrating then going somewhere and not getting past the tourist route. Local art lover and owner/ curator of Mullumbimby’s Art Piece Gallery spent much of her childhood with parents and grandparents in Casablanca. This year she returns to the streets, the houses and the ice-cream shops of her past and she wants you to come too.

The afternoon show includes invited readings and poetry slam. Kick off at 2pm.

ETHAN HAWKE IN PREDESTINATION

I held back from saying it after Jersey Boys for fear of sounding ageist. But if the great Clint Eastwood had not on that occasion made the movie of an old man, then the revered (and by some reviled) Woody Allen has most certainly done so with this sweet and flowery waffle. We are all familiar with Allen’s obsessions, the major one of which is death and his neurotic fear of it – he has made a career of exposing and exploring its non-negotiable certainty. Generally speaking, however, artists are more successful at teasing out life’s more profound questions when they stick to their practised medium. Their attempts at outright philosophy are clunky at best. Stanley (Colin Firth) is little more than the director’s alter-ego. A magician of renown with a brilliant history as an entertainer (like Allen), he is the ultimate pragmatist who, though he might ardently wish for there to be an afterlife, has taken pride in demolishing those charlatans who claim to have evidence of it. Sophie (Emma Stone) is an ingénue from the US midwest who is making a name for herself as a spiritualist among the odiously rich of the Côte d’Azur. Unable to resist a debunking, Stanley is enticed by Howard (Simon McBirney), a fellow illusionist, to travel to France and expose Sophie as the fake that she surely must be. The dialogue between the two antagonists is gauche and the tiresome predictability of a romance smouldering between them (younger women find older men irresistible in Allen’s world) is hampered by the couple’s complete lack of chemistry. Admittedly, the location is gorgeous, but escapist eye-candy only serves to fill the cracks of an over-simplistic script. It’s gratifying to see ‘our’ Jacki Weaver doing so well for herself, but Firth is atypically wooden and Stone half-hearted. Hearing the refrain of Cole Porter’s You Do Something To Me for the umpteenth time, it occurred to me that Allen has made what is in essence a pleasant little radio play with pictures.

PREDESTINATION

German-born Australian filmmakers Peter and Michael Spierig (they’re twins) had an unheralded success in the US with their vampire flick Daybreakers. With Ethan Hawke as leading man again, they have adapted a short story by iconic sci-fi novelist Robert Heinlein (Stranger in a Strange Land was perhaps the book of the 60s counterculture) for their latest brain-breaker. The phenomenon of Doctor Who is evidence of the ongoing appeal of time-travel, but in a movie it comes with the inbuilt problem of how can you change something that has already happened? Fate, after all, is unarguable – the first person you will see tomorrow morning will be the first person you see. But that hasn’t stopped the Spierig brothers from having a crack at the imponderable (and impenetrable) question of determining history through pre-emptive actions.

Travelling Flicks

There is a homegrown terrorist known as the ‘fizzle bomber’ whose blasts have been/will be responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians in America. Hawke, whom we first meet as a bartender, is a Temporal Agent who has been pursuing the bomber through different decades. A bloke who turns out to be the writer of a confessional column in a women’s magazine (Sarah Snook) comes in for a drink one night. They get to talking… and it becomes a feature of an

extremely convoluted narrative that there is regular need for a voiceover to explain what is happening, and who is who. Noah Taylor gets a start as Mr Robinson, the head of the bureau, and he is suitably creepy. I did my best to stick with the story and thought I was pretty much on top of it until about the three-quarter mark. After that I lost the plot and had no clear idea of what was going on. If you liked Inception (for mine, it was a wank) you’ll probably like this too. It is well done with a number of devious twists and Snook (bearing an uncanny resemblance to Jodie Foster) is terrific.

Accompany her to the spiritual capital Fes to cook in a secret garden, Marrakesh to visit designer workshops and artist studios, and cook fish and paint in Essoeria. Of course you will be expected to ride a camel. Nadine says, ‘We’ll focus on the rich and varied food, art and design culture and explore the places that were an important part of my growing up and still inform the person I am today. We will go the imperial city of Meknes, to Marrakesh, Volubilis, the best-preserved Roman site in Morocco, to Fes and to the Atlas Mountains, cooking our way around Morocco with some of the country’s top chefs and staying in beautifully appointed riads.’ This is an extraordinary place, made even more so in the company of an extraordinary woman.

Brotherly love seals deal for Devils at Mur’bah Story & photo John Campbell

The Red Devils were dead and buried. With less than two minutes on the clock and Mount Warning looming dourly on the horizon, the boys were trailing the Murwillumbah Mustangs by 30–26 in the knockout semi. Trapped deep in their own half, the season was as good as gone. With one last, valiant rally, the ball was flung wide to Chris ‘BB’ King. A talisman in the Bay’s backline, the big centre launched himself on a spine-tingling burst down the sideline. The cover neared and, with brother Bill ‘the Lion’ King screaming up in support, Chris kicked ahead. The race for the ball, as it bounced towards the Mustangs’ line, was not a race at all – Bill, like Black Caviar, showed everybody a clean pair of heels. Keeping his head as the pill wobbled up and down, he took it cleanly and planted it next to the uprights. It was a breath-

derbolt, but she was heavily tackled and landed with her head hitting the ground first. No free kick. The game was stopped while the Bruns captain slowly got up and assured the coach that she was okay; one tough girl. The ball was quickly booted forward towards the away side’s goal; the breakers could not clear the ball away and a Ballina player latched onto it. The Bruns keeper had no chance; 2–1 with 15 minutes left in the match. Strikers Ella and Tiare were trying their best to score another goal but were blocked each time. The Brunswick team were tiring but they never

give in and were determined not to lose the game. Every tackle was hard and fair. With minutes remaining Ella had the ball and with great vision and skill threaded it through to Tiare, who dribbled the ball half the length of the field, took on the keeper, got past her with a bit of luck and calmly shot the ball into the back of the net: 3–1 Brunswick. The full-time whistle was sounded and the Brunswick Breakers won. Well done, girls. They were applauded off the field and all looked exhausted. That was one gutsy effort by the team. As always the coach and parents are proud of them all.

in again when the energetic young lock, Sam ‘Dolly’ Dwyer, went in under the sticks. With their boys ahead 12–0, the red faction of the crowd was in cheery spirits. But such easy dominance was never likely to last – and it didn’t. The Mustangs finally roused themselves from their sloth, and aided by penalties (the Bay took a caning from the ref), they began to grind their way back into the contest. Mur’bah brought it back to 12–10, but just as the Devils appeared to be wilting, the Kings struck a telling blow. Chris sent Bill on an 80-metre dash to the line and, leading 18–10, the mood in the sheds would have been of relief rather than cockiness. The second forty was out of character with what preceded it. Though trailing, it was the hosts who stormed the barricades with the clear belief that the game was theirs to be won. The Devils’ defence,

always diehard, suddenly looked vulnerable and when they did get their man they were incapable of killing the ball. Peter ‘Facebook’ Flannery scored from a James ‘Buddha’ Griffiths offload, but Mur’bah drew level at 22-all when their hooker – an annoying fellow who continually made bursts from dummy-half – strolled through the ruck to put one of his forwards in next to the posts. Hemi ‘Sphere’ Mullen won the scramble for a chip over the line to score, but the Devils did not have the wherewithal to cope with the predictable short restart and the Mustangs got the try that put them, seemingly, in an unassailable position as the sun was setting on the Bay’s season… but they didn’t count on the heroics of the King brothers. Next Sunday, Byron travel to duelling banjos country to take on the Kyogle Turkeys. It’s their last hurdle as they stride towards the grand final.

Unlucky last show for Byron Rams Story & photo Dogwhistle

With their positions in both Reserves and Premier Division finals series locked in, the Park Hotel Byron Bay Rams hosted two strong Lismore Workers teams on Saturday’s final round of the FFNC championship. The Rams Reserves, finishing in fifth spot on the competition ladder, took on second-placed Workers in what proved to be a dogged battle for dominance and goals. Despite impressive work from Benny Ahern, Jonathan Pierce, Dakota Dixon-King and Connor Cannon, the Redmen were just too strong for the Byron boys. Workers found the net three times while Steve Kirkpartrick put Byron’s only goal on the board with a clinical finish. In the Premier Division, it was a tough final round for Byron’s Minor Premiers, who couldn’t seem to win a trick. The play was all Byron’s

way from the beginning but a spectacular ‘goal-of-theseason’ from Connor Cannon was disallowed for a high foot infringement. A controversial (aren’t they all?) penalty and another red card for Byron defender Sam McIntyre gave Workers a tenuous lead and reduced the Rams to ten men before half time. A gutsy performance saw the 10-man Rams continue to dominate after the break, with sustained attacks from Kazuhiro Tsukamoto, James Tomlinson, Connor Cannon and Barry Woods putting the pressure on the Workers’ defence and keeper, Simon Cleaver. It was a fine performance from the Rams, who, despite losses in the final rounds, go into the finals series on top and as solid favourites for a second consecutive title. The win takes Workers into second place, pending the outcome of the Roversv-Thistles clash on Tuesday night.

Folks other than Labor party members are able to participate in the selection and will most likely receive information to that effect in the mail. Rather than deluge you with election spruiking too soon before the actual battle in the real March 2015 poll, we point you to the websites of the two candidates: Paul Spooner paulspoonerforballina.com and Keith Williams http:// keithwill.nationbuilder.com.

One of the most important forces for mental health is swearing at appropriate times, and Australians are rather good at it. You can track the frequency of profane tweets through the Language and Swearing Map of Australia created by Simon Jackson at http://bit.ly/swearmap. Other than English, the most tweets in Byron Bay seem to be made in Japanese. If you want to enrich your swearing vocabulary, there are several Shakespearean insult generators to choose from online, such as http:// bit.ly/shakeswear. Q Q Q Q
