Bureaucrat roadblock Celebrating this living earth Sydney-based planners refuse to disclose key briefing notes on West Byron Hans Lovejoy
NSW planning staff are refusing to be transparent with the community after key information was omitted from a freedom of information request regarding the proposed West Byron Project. The 108-hectare site development west of Byron Bay could contain upward of 800 homes and is expected to be approved shortly. Lodged by the Byron Residents Group, the Government Information Public Access (GIPA) request sought to reveal the planning department’s briefing notes to planning minister Pru Goward. Questions to the department from The Echo regarding the refusal were also stonewalled. Within the 142 pages provided, much related to the already available Byron Council’s Koala Habitat Study. Nothing was divulged on reports or comments on the Belongil Estuary, acid sulfate soils or traffic management. But the files did reveal that as far back as 2009, then-planning minister Kristina Keneally (Labor) pushed the project on Council. In a letter to the general manager, she said, ‘With the Byron area facing significant issues of housing affordability and land availability, the lack of progress in the planning of the West Byron Urban Release Area for residential land release, is of significant concern.’ While an appeal will reassess the GIPA request, the residents group’s Cate Coorey said, ‘What is very clear from this request is that the
department of planning appears to be doing nothing about truly assessing the merits of this rezoning and development proposal and is simply accepting the information from developers uncritically. ‘We would like to know why the department is failing to properly assess West Byron. It is not the function of the department to just rubber stamp developers’ proposals.’ When asked if the lack of transparency was of concern, local MP Don Page (Nationals) said that while he supports transparency, ‘I’m not an expert on the GIPA Act.’ ‘The presumption should be for openness and transparency.’ Meanwhile, resident Damien Antico says that at a public meeting held in December 2013, NSW planners disregarded the public’s request for a deferment until more information was supplied. He said that group included the mayor and Council’s planning manager, Ray Darney.
Public disregarded Mr Antico told The Echo, ‘It would appear that the reason for the meeting was to be seen to be consulting the community; however, our unanimous view to wait was disregarded.’ Mayor Simon Richardson confirmed with The Echo that he was present at the meeting and the group supported rezoning deferment. Mr Darney added that Council has always had concerns about the environmental and housing density constraints of the West Byron site, a position which is supported by the Byron Residents Group.

Bypass cash stumped up The surprise announcement of $10.5 million to fund a bypass of Byron Bay’s CBD along Butler Street has met with a mixed reception, with residents likely to be affected saying it will ‘wreck the town and community.’ In contrast, mayor Simon Richardson thanked the state government for the ‘once in a generation’ funding and for ‘stepping up and supporting our town’. While he acknowledged the bypass won’t solve all of Byron’s traffic problems, he said it was ‘a crucial component to help relieve some of the traffic pain our locals endure on a regular basis’. Acting premier Andrew Stoner, roads minister Duncan Gay and Ballina MP Don Page (all Nationals MPs) made the announcement in Byron Bay last Thursday, and detailed design work is expected to start imme-
diately. No time-frame has been set, but Mr Gay says his department and Council aimed to finalise plans for Council’s preferred route before the end of the year. The bypass will run from the Shirley Street roundabout along Butler Street and connect to the southern end of Jonson Street via a new rail crossing and intersection at Browning Street near the Mitre 10 store. Apart from residents, businesses located on Jonson Street will be affected. They include music, yoga, dance, martial arts studios, Byron Music, East Coast Building Consultants, along with Wicked Weasel and Mitre 10. Consultation with affected residents and businesses will be part of the Environmental Impact Statement continued on page 2

Byron Central Hospital plans What do these Italians think? exclude operating theatres Concerns over a lack of operating theatres in the planned Byron Hospital have been hosed down by NSW Health. In a letter to the NSW department of planning and environment on August 23, the Byron Shire Health Services Community Action Group said it was ‘concerned that surgical service/day surgery is not included in the list of services being offered in the development application.’ A community committee spokesperson told The Echo they had been ‘diligent in trying to get an ironclad commitment that there will be a theatre facility, but have been unsuccessful’. But a Health
Infrastructure spokesperson told The Echo that the project team is ‘undertaking a market-sounding process to determine whether there is interest from private providers to deliver surgical services at the new hospital.’ ‘Should a private operator be interested in providing surgical services, public patients will have access to these services through an agreement reached between the private operator and Northern NSW Local Health District. Local health districts across the state work with private providers in their catchments to ensure a full suite of health services are provided to local patients.
This includes purchasing services for public patients in private facilities. ‘It is anticipated the new Byron Central Hospital will provide emergency services, acute medical beds, low-risk maternity services following the same model currently delivered at Mullumbimby, a new 20-bed mental health unit and x-ray and medical imaging facilities.’ Meanwhile health minister Jillian Skinner’s media adviser told The Echo that agreements between private and public health providers have been in existence for a long time and ‘would also have occurred under the former government.’
Mullumbimby and Byron high schools have again partnered with a specialist language and science school in northern Italy – Pietro Scalcerle in Padova – for an Italian exchangestudent program. The Italians, who will be in town for two weeks, were officially welcomed at the Council Chambers by the mayor and the Deadly Dancers last Friday. Photo Eve Jeffery

continued from page 1 (EIS), which will be completed and put on exhibition prior to the project starting. President of the Butler Street Community Network, Paul Jones, said that ‘the heritage and heavily pedestrianised Butler Street precinct will be transformed into a traffic hell worse than Bangalow Road.’ ‘They plan to widen Shirley Street into town, taking out the roadside parking/ drop-off/manoeuvring lanes. ‘The iconic Norfolk pines will have to go. The roundabout at the police station will be a massive double-lane circle. The Farmers Markets and Sunday Markets will have to go as Butler Street becomes busier than Bangalow Road. ‘Butler Street residents in their heritage wooden houses sleeping in bedrooms as close as six metres from the road will have no recourse to any effective mitigation of noise, pollution, vibration and light from the new main road. ‘The green corridor along Butler Street delivering wildlife and nature right into the heart of Byron Town will be cut off from the wetlands. ‘The new road will trample into the wetlands and floodplain with a tall embankment or bridge over swampland. ‘Exit from town will be all but blocked by the new roundabout, creating gridlock in the town. Meanwhile, those in the know will be forcing their way back through town to exit via Mitre 10. ‘Over 60 residential driveways enter or back onto the proposed route, many of
which are multi-residential sites. Eleven roads intersect the proposed route; we have this nightmare on Bangalow Road – why are they repeating it here?’ The only positive, he said, is that as a state significant project, ‘we may eventually get a proper outcome as opposed to the turkey that Council is currently serving up.’
Council ‘a lowgrade developer’ ‘Our Council is planning to wreck our town and community with an out-of-date, unworkable and massively disruptive proposal for the sake of expediency and the lowest cost. [They are behaving] like some low-grade developer. ‘The alternative as brought together by the Butler Street Community Network in their Grab the Rail campaign must now be fully assessed and delivered to state planning. ‘The railway corridor bypass option is far superior, the land is public land and currently in a state of suspended animation. Many forces are at work, not the least private interests, looking to snap up this very valuable parcel of land. ‘Political will and community pressure could release the potential of the corridor and contribute something spectacular to the future of Byron Bay. ‘We call on our local member and the relevant ministers to listen to the community concerns and properly assess the Grab The Rail alternative bypass proposal.’ Q Letters, page 11

Local News Education cuts spark protests Local federal MP Justine Elliot (Labor) says she is determined to fight the coalition government’s attack on higher education. Under the plan, she says university fees will be deregulated, students will have to pay higher fees for their studies and direct funding to universities will be cut. She told Parliament the bill is a fundamental attack on the right to access a decent education. ‘It is particularly hard for those people who live in regional and rural areas.’ It follows protests against the state government’s budget cuts and privatisation plans for vocational training at TAFE. At the Wollongbar TAFE campus in Ballina last week, protesters challenged north coast candidates for the upcoming state election to fight against the funding cuts.

Four young lives lost Top chefs help launch in highway crash Sample Food Fest An horrific single-car crash near Newrybar early Wednesday morning last week has claimed the lives of four local young adults. Police say the car they were travelling in was overtaking a truck over double lines when it lost control. It happened around 1.20am on the single-lane section of the highway, which is soon to be duplicated as part of the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale highway upgrade. Jessica Camidge (22) from Ewingsdale, Richard Wells (19) from West Ballina, Wil-

liam Manton (20) from Ballina and Samantha Enright (17) from Skennars Head all died at the scene. Police say speed, alcohol or fatigue could have been a factor in the accident. The accident brought the number of people killed so far in the northern rivers this year to 24, making it the worst in the state for fatal crashes. Police are appealing for witnesses to the accident, which includes immediately before or after. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Q Letters, page 12

Local News Healthy Harold’s message Evidence shows alcohol laws supported by Council cash working, says Last Drinks Byron Shire Council has donated $3,000 to the Tweed/ Byron Life Action group. The group transport the character Healthy Harold from school to school, and its chairman Tonny van’t Riet said, ‘Life Education is the only program offering children a comprehensive capacity to learn about positive lifestyles and the capac-
ity to say no to drugs.’ ‘This donation will assist [the group] to ensure that Life Education’s programs are delivered to the children in our region, helping to keep our kids safe.’ Council has also provided in-kind support by towing the Life Education Mobile Learning Centre to several schools in the region.

an impressive lineup of judges has been announced: Kirk Pengilly (INXS), Paul Pilsneniks (studios 301); Mark Gable (Choirboys), Alex Smith (Moving Pictures), Ciaran Gribbin (INXS), and Marcus Schintler (Weddings Parties Anything). Entries close October 23.
Protest on Indian uranium deal The uranium deal between India and the federal government sparked protests in Byron Bay last week. An activist from BOOM (Byron Against Nuclear Group) said, ‘India is not a signatory to the nuclear non-pro-
liferation treaty, yet the Australian government is happy to sell uranium to India. What’s the guarantee that it won’t end up causing a nuclear weapons race in the subcontinent, with the frightening prospect of nuclear war?’
Community group Last Drinks in Byron has welcomed the presentation of evidence that new alcohol laws are leading to less violence and safer streets. The laws were brought in around six months ago and imposed a 1.30am lockout and 3am last-drinks call in some parts of central Sydney. In addition, all takeaway alcohol sales after 10pm have been stopped across the state. Submissions from both police and medical experts at the NSW government inquiry into new lockout laws have for the first time provided evidence that the new measures have reduced alcohol-related violence. Health experts have previously said that anecdotally the new laws seemed to be reducing violence, but police have now provided figures that back this up. The NSW assistant police commissioner, Michael Fuller, told the inquiry that police reports indicate the lockout was having ‘a profound effect on making the streets safer’. Last Drinks in Byron member Mick O’Regan said that
Kids need fun (fair)
the new laws are working to reduce the number of drunk people on the street late at night. ‘The essential elements to reducing violence are a reduction in late trading hours and the earlier lockouts. Fewer seriously drunk people on the street means fewer incidents of violence and harm.’
Conflicting reports
Seems like these kids could do with some cheer – thankfully an old-school fun fair is planned for Byron Bay Public School, Friday September 12 from 3 to 6pm. Photo Eve Jeffery
But media have reported conflicting views on the law’s effect. Director of the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research told Fairfax last week that there is no basis for claims that lockout laws are working. ‘If the overall trend is down before the lockout, then of course you’re going to see a reduction,’ he said. Meanwhile Mr O’Regan said it was ‘very encouraging to read media reports of local cafe and restaurant owners in Kings Cross endorsing the changes as being good for trading.’ However ABC has reported that latenight traders in Sydney have seen staff hours and profits decline.
A fun fair for kids and adults is planned at the Byron Bay Public School (BBPS) on Friday September 12 from 3 to 6pm. BBPS principal Geoff Spargo says apart from lucky dips, fairly floss, a raffle, a cake stall and barbecue, there will be some fabulous additions, including rides for all ages, laser skirmish, football shootout, super soaker and a range of international food and a coffee cart for parents. ‘There will also be Old MacDonald’s Farm with live farm animals for kids to pat and hold. ‘The Funfair has been happening every two years for a while now, and it is a major family event on the
Byron town calendar. ‘The school community loves to welcome the whole town in to join the fun.
Major fundraiser ‘It is also a major event on our fundraising calendar and we rely on the funds for much-needed equipment around the school; for example we are looking at upgrading our outdoor fixed equipment play area. ‘Our current set is 13 years old and we have had to stop kids using it as it was no longer safe. ‘We will be adding a rope climbing pyramid to the new equipment − the kids are really looking forward to that.’

Labor to hold preselection candidate forum Sept 11 A forum featuring the two NSW Labor candidates contesting preselection for next year’s state election will be held at the Byron Community Centre on September 11 from 6 to 8pm. The candidates are Keith Williams (Ballina Shire councillor, Australian Seabird Rescue) and Paul Spooner (Byron Shire councillor, Byron Community Centre manager). Moderator Russell Eldridge will ask questions of the candidates and also conduct Q&A with the audience. The forum is part of Labor’s
aim to encourage the community to have input into their candidate preselection – a similar process called the Primaries exists in the US. The ballot-winner will be put forward as Labor’s candidate for next year’s state election. Social media will also be utilised, with the Twitter hashtag #yoursayballina and www. facebook.com/NSWLabor. Online voting is encouraged: those on the Ballina electoral role can vote at yoursay.nswlabor.org.au. If you didn’t get a postal ballot, call (02) 9207 2000.
Most of the trees had produced new shoots in January but because of the damage to the trunks, this new growth has not survived. There are about a dozen trees that have completely or partially died. These trees are not likely to fall over but rather fall to bits over time, dropping branches. This becomes a safety issue and it is obvious that the trees that have no chance of recovering will have to be removed. What now? Well, nothing can be done for the trees that have died. What is important is that the spectacular avenue of trees that is so significant to Byron is maintained. We need to replant and replace the trees that have died. A new planting will see the avenue back in shape in just a few years and into the future. There is a strong argument for retaining the character of Byron by using them for the succession planting. They are salt tolerant and well suited to the sandy soil. As we know they also grow into amazing, huge and beautiful trees. Q Peter Gray is from Northern Tree Care.

In November last year a hailstorm hit Byron Bay. The Norfolk Island Pine trees (Araucaria heterophylla) that are so much a part of the character of Byron were severely affected. I assessed the trees for Council in January this year and found that a number of the trees had sustained significant damage to the branches and trunks of the trees. The hail had damaged the vascular system of the branches and more particularly the trunks of the trees. Pine trees do not recover well from large areas of dam-

Local News NSW Business Chamber claims victory with mining tax and superannuation deal The abolition of the mining tax and the deferral of the superannuation guarantee will provide much-needed relief for the business community, says NSW Business Chamber regional manager John Murray. Mr Murray said, ‘During the Small Business – Too Big To Ignore campaign prior to the last federal election, businesses across the northern rivers region told us that the cost of doing business was the number one handbrake on their ability to employ their fellow Australians.’ ‘The employer-funded superannuation guarantee going up to 12 per cent over coming years really stood out for businesses looking to take on more staff and now that it has been deferred I expect lots of small businesses, in particular, will feel that relief. But not all agree that it is in the nation’s best interest.
Former Labor prime minister Paul Keating told ABC last week that the cost of that decision ‘will not only adversely affect the baby boom generation but more substantially, their children.’ ‘Prime minister Abbott and Mr Palmer trotted out the tawdry argument that working people are better off with more cash in their hand today than savings for tomorrow. ‘This week, Australia’s pool of superannuation savings topped $1.87 trillion – larger than the market capitalisation of the Australian Stock Exchange. ‘That vast pool of savings, which has revolutionised our capital markets and dramatically lowered the cost of Australian capital, exists, in the main, because of compulsory superannuation. ‘You don’t expect conservative governments to believe in much but, at least, you expect them to believe in thrift.’

Tired of the heavy lifting, Brian Forbes decided to improve the way in which he makes yurts and invented a rotating system. The patented device allows a yurt to be made quicker and easier, he says.‘The scaffolding costs are reduced,’ Brian says, ‘and it saves about half the time in labour.’
Brian says it’s a first for Byron Shire and he intends to enter it in Council’s Sustainable Small House Design awards and expo competition, to be held September 13 at the Bangalow A&I Hall. ‘Rotating roundhouses’ was also featured on ABC’s New Inventors. For more call Brian on 0415 638 380.
Mercato on Byron responds to critics Bold plans to revamp the cinema complex and southern end of the Woolies plaza on Jonson Street as ‘the most sustainable retail development in Australia,’ have fired up critics, who regard them as a ‘greenwash.’ Not so, says, manager Julie Nutting, who told The Echo that the sustainability of the centre is to be ‘rigorously assessed by the Australian Green Building Council to ensure it meets five-star green-star standards.’ Ms Nutting also says en-
ergy efficiency solutions have been adopted by the site over the past few years. ‘We have already installed over 100 solar panels to the roof of the existing cinema, and this supplies the front building with a combination of community and mains bulk power to the centre. ‘We are still researching other opportunities that can provide holistic solutions to all aspects of energy generation, waste management and energy efficiency to improve environmental outcomes.’

Bursting the Byron Bubble
Volume 29 #13
September 9, 2014
Labor brain droppings NSW Labor is trying something new! It’s something we take for granted, but perhaps hasn’t ever existed as corporations and governance generally operate together. It’s called, ahem, democracy. A forum will be held this week between the two Labor preselection candidates at the Byron Community Centre on September 11 from 6 ‘til 8pm. Postal and electronic voting is already underway, and we simple northern rivers folk are being asked to elect a preselection candidate for the NSW Ballina electorate, which covers both the Byron and Ballina regions. So let’s look at NSW Labor, which at the 2011 election scored 11.9 per cent of the primary vote in Ballina. A 21 year old uni student – Toby Warnes – was the candidate. He didn’t campaign well, didn’t announce much and was invisible the entire campaign. Given the nearly 12 per cent result, perhaps that’s why Labor think they have a chance. It’s worth noting of course that retiring Nationals MP Don Page won a convincing 75.2 per cent of the two-candidate preferred vote (ie after preferences from other parties were distributed), while the Greens’ Simon Richardson claimed 21.7 per cent of the popular vote. Under our preferential voting system, the Green votes flowed to Labor and they secured 24.8 per cent of the final tally. And it’s also worth noting there have been some shifting sands in the electorate since 2011, namely CSG. So is this regional NSW exercise in ‘democracy’ just window dressing? In last October’s federal leadership vote, Bill Shorten won the caucus vote 55–31, according to SBS, ‘but the wider membership backed Anthony Albanese 60–40 per cent.’ In other words, the federal Labor hierarchy vetoes the wishes of the wider membership. Sensible suggestions for party reform by John Faulkner and even Kevin Rudd have been ignored, and Mark Latham despite all his madness has some interesting ideas as to why we have such a bland political landscape (hint: career politicians). Any reform is worth considering since the intellectual argument has been lost to focus-group-driven imbeciles such as Abbott. Hans Lovejoy, editor

I
am occasionally asked what changes I’ve seen during my 30 years living in Byron Bay. My quick one-liner is, ‘I see more Land Rovers, fewer Kombi vans’. This answer is a bit cute as well as true. But if we care to look deeper there is more going on here than what model of cars are being parked in Jonson Street. Juggling a small-town ambience while being one of the country’s foremost tourist destinations is not an easy circus trick. This is Australia’s third most recognised destination for tourists after Sydney and Uluru. We had over 1.1 million visitors here in 2013 while more southern city retirees are choosing it as the place to make a final nest. But all this success has its problems. Anyone who takes the time to read the letter pages in this paper can see that there is a lot of complaining going on and a lot of that complaining is around one thing – housing! Many of us remember crusty old Ross Tucker who was a conservative councillor in the last council. I remember hearing him once saying, ‘You people come here and claim a piece of paradise and then want to shut the door’. He was right, but there is no door to shut. The only way to maintain exclusivity is with price and now with Byron’s property prices on par with the southern capitals that is exactly what is happening. At the end of the 2014 financial year Sydney’s median price for a standalone residential dwelling was $807,880. Byron Bay and postcode 2481 is $775,000. Melbourne is $658,000. The green council that replaced Ross Tucker has
been replaced as well since many of those green voters can’t afford to live here anymore. Everyone is against rampant unchecked development but not everyone acknowledges that the repercussions of limited development are usually unbridled real estate prices. Byron Bay is not alone with this problem. It is an ongoing dilemma for small towns and some cities all over the world. The Silicon Valley area of San Francisco is possibly the most
Why not encourage more people to build more affordable housing on their rural properties and actively support financially challenged long-term residents to stay? by Michael Murray famous exclusive urban area. School teachers and government employees have to commute long distances since close, affordable housing is not available. The city’s public transport is being left behind by private fleets of white, WiFi, luxury buses commuting the high-tech workers to and fro. The once low-rent areas like Mission and Tenderloin have been gentrified. I have seen this cycle played out a number of times in Byron Bay over the last few decades. Different groups of people come, settle, struggle, pack up and move on. It’s amazing that the resilience of the community is maintained while being continually recycled. I have heard lots of ideas and schemes to help alleviate this ongoing problem: affordable housing committees, developer contributions, rent control, stop holiday letting to bring back housing stock
this resolution is still on the drawing board. Under the radar, behind the scenes, if not exactly illegal but certainly in the grey area, is one option already in play and working in a fashion. The hills of Byron Bay are alive with studios, workshops, cow bails, storage units and sheds that have been converted and customised to house people. The conversation is: are these people being exploited by paying high rent for substandard accommodation? Or is this a neat way around the housing shortage and are these landlords being altruistic and community minded as well? Probably more of the former but another problem is this topic is never widely discussed. Council does not want to know about it for obvious reasons. I have heard it joked that if compliance officers went all-out we would probably lose up to a third
of our population. Landlords certainly want it kept under the radar as their income is threatened and tenants want to maintain any dwelling they can, knowing that going back into the rental market is too painful to even contemplate. If there is a solution then it needs to be an extension of what is already working. Is it possible to create more dwellings while still maintaining our rural vistas and rolling green hills? Last year NSW state planning allowed residential zones to include granny flats on urban allotments. This infill type development could be expanded to rural zonings. Byron Shire Council have just adopted the new LEP and are looking at approving detached dual occupancy in rural zonings. Another option is to expand rural worker accommodation to include environmental restoration. This policy currently allows dwellings only for farm workers within strict guidelines. Both these options would encourage people on acreages to build smaller secondary dwellings – more houses without the urban sprawl. This is the only way that is currently working to house people who would otherwise have to leave the shire. Why not encourage more people to build more affordable housing on their rural properties and actively support financially challenged long-term residents to stay? This is what is supposed to happen in a diverse, multitextured community. Range Rovers and Kombi vans should be able to park side by side. Q Michael Murray works as a property buyer’s agent.

A mixed reception for Byron Bay bypass plans When Council GM Ken Gainger expressed indignation in a recent Council agenda that the railway option for the bypass had never been properly looked at, he had two inferable motives: to suggest it’s now too late and to suggest that it was the residents and councillors who are to blame for the current outcome, and the staff are innocent bystanders. Not correct, Ken. I’m now aware of a document that demonstrates that residents brought the railway bypass option to the attention of Council staff seven years ago. The agenda for the Council meeting of 28 June 2012 makes reference to a rail proposal put forward by Byron United in 2007. Your staff may accordingly take their rightful place in the conga line of stunned mullets who have hummed and hahed over a proposal too left-field for them to contend with. I also draw attention to certain assertions made by Cr Cubis re the bypass: the state government’s grant money can’t be used on the rail option, the use of the rail line would require an Act of
Q
Confidence trick Uncertainty is, and is increasing. Certainty ain’t, and is decreasing. The economy is a confidence trick. Business confidence relies on consumer confidence which, in turn, relies on spin which is an attempt to create certainty, which isn’t. And round and round it goes. If you lose your confidence the house of cards falls down. Optimism has to be the default position. Jim Nutter Main Arm
Spoonerisms I note with a wry smile the community preselection advertisement for Paul Spooner on page 40 of The Echo 2/09/2014. In particular his quote ‘… I will fight to protect our beaches, rivers, forests and marine parks’. Is this the same Paul Spooner who, in his role as GM of the Community Centre, is advocating the relocation of the monthly Byron Markets from the Butler Street Reserve to the very beaches he is going to fight for? Placing 200+ stalls, cars,
Parliament, and the Grab the Rail group want exclusive use of the railway corridor. The last of these is most certainly bullshit. The other two, I must concede, are only probably bullshit. My point is that not a single councillor had the wit to challenge any of those assertions or ask for supporting evidence; they just wilted under the onslaught. There clearly is an indecent haste to bring on the bypass and to baffle opponents with bullshit. Fast Buck$ Coorabell
son Street towards the pool. I would vote for that section of Jonson Street to be shut off to traffic and for Bay Street to be made two-way again, but they might have better ideas. All I know is that improving the flow of traffic through the Jonson Street roundabout is an opportunity that should not be missed. Garth Luke Mullumbimby
the money is there for a Byron bypass and I hear it might be completed before Christmas 2016. In the meantime action to improve the flow of traffic through the Jonson Street roundabout could give the community some reprieve from traffic snarls. I suggest councillors spend a couple of hours watching the flow of traffic at that roundabout and come up with a simple and agreed idea to stop the major problem of incoming traffic having to repeatedly stop for cars crossing their path and going up Jon-
Q The state government announcement that $10.5 million in funding will be provided for Byron Council to construct a link road will have a mixed reception. Many in the community will applaud the move while others will question the effectiveness of such a road to resolve Byron Bay’s traffic woes. Not to mention what is happening to the train tracks! Is it the lack of roads that causes Byron Bay traffic congestion or the lack of public transport options? The focus of this state government appears to be solely on road construction. Wouldn’t more benefit be gained by the provision of better public transport both to and around Byron Bay? Road building helps but it
tents and thousands of people on a very fragile foreshore is not my idea of ‘fighting for our beaches’! It’s the opposite! Mr Spooner, you can say ‘it’s up to the stallholders’ as many times and ways that you wish. But let’s face it, you are one of the strongest advocates for this move as evidenced by your comment to a meeting of concerned stallholders that ‘you want these markets to be iconic and known throughout Australia and that this can only happen if they move to the beachfront’. ‘I will fight to protect our beaches...’ What a laugh! Vote for Paul Spooner? Certainly not! Udo Moerig Byron Bay

The logic of war
With Tony Abbott winging off to India as I write, to flog of this country’s uranium for the production of nuclear power, we might pause for disquieting thought about a couple of matters. One, the extreme concern shown here by traditional owners about the dumping of nuclear waste in their country, and two,

will not solve the traffic issue. We need a regionally based solution to public transport needs; one designed to meet local needs and delivered by the state government. Cr Paul Spooner Byron Bay
A fleet of small buses and a timetable would do. Using the rail line as a transport corridor is also the best solution to Byron’s traffic woes. Grab The Rail have got it right. The corridor is wide enough to fit trains, the rail trail, and a two-lane
Whether the debate is around to TOOT or to Trail, or finding a long-term bypass solution for Byron, we can always rely on one fact. Public transport is not just poor in this area, it’s almost non-existent. While an efficient (renewables-powered) light rail system on our tracks should be the ultimate goal, the lack of a rail line to Ballina, the cost, and the likely delays will mean that it cannot meet our urgent needs. In the meantime, using the corridor for the rail trail just makes sense. It’s a transport corridor, not just a rail track. But while improving the safety and ease of cycling around the region will be a boost, it will do little to improve our commuting options. Solving our public transport crisis doesn’t require a huge infrastructure spend.

Such complications as the Kurdish consolidation of their autonomous state, which will worry Turkey, and the divided loyalties in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt aren’t even included at this stage. The final idiocy in the US seeking a reliable partner is that the most obvious ally will simply not be invited to help.

Police in shades The last couple of times I have been stopped by police officers they have been wearing shades. Police officer or civilian, I find it impersonal, uncomfortable, and even dehumanising to talk with somebody whose eyes I cannot see. We have all seen photos of people whose identity has been concealed by placing a black line across their eyes, and wearing shades has the same effect. The discomfort of speaking to someone who I cannot identify as a particular human being is all the more

Readers may be familiar with the famous Stanford Prison Experiment and the role the uniforms, including the wearing of shades, had in helping the guards adopt their role of authority and exercising unjust and inhumane treatment of their inmates.
For these reasons I contacted the NSW Police Force asking if I am okay to request that, if the officer is wearing shades, he or she raise them so I can see their eyes. The reply given was that ‘officers have the right to wear sunglasses while on duty’ and that I can ‘ask to see a Police Officers [sic] badge/ID to confirm they are an officer’,
which misses the point I was making. I regard this as one more step toward the militarisation of the police force. Police officers are civil servants and thus should act in a civil manner. Am I the only one bothered by this? Jason van Tol Upper Coopers Creek

Political change I’m fed up with party politics. There is another way. Independents (who can be aligned with parties, and in fact will need that collegiate approach while in parliament) are the way to go. The change we need to make is to make them accountable to the electorate and not to the party in terms

Letters of their future in being reelected, and they will then take notice about what we, the voters, think about ahead of any direction given from their party. That is the only change that needs to be made to bring democracy back to the people, to make people’s votes really count. I’ve given this thought and had many discussions with many intelligent people who agree this is possible within the current political framework and without changes to the Constitution. I would love to build a collaboration of people with experience, time and energy to make this happen before the next federal election. It can be done. Would love someone(s) to be patron/CEO, senior goto persons to step up to the plate. Anyone out there (Mr Oakeshott perhaps)?

Getting a gig I’d like to hear a few opinions regarding the local music scene. I am a musician and love live music. Every week I check the gig guide and see
the same bands playing at the same venues from Ballina to Billinudgel and all venues in between. Sure, the bands getting the work are generally of a high standard, but what about something different occasionally? What about some new bands? Local bands! I know from experience that it is nearly impossible to get a gig at most local venues. My enthusiastic gig request emails are either knocked back or rudely not answered at all. With the amount of talented musicians in this area there is no reason we should have to keep on seeing the same old bands getting all the gigs. Any other musos finding this frustrating?

Petrodollar regimes Petroleum is the lifeblood of the global economy. It fuels 97 per cent of all transport worldwide and is the primary feedstock for the petrochemical industry that produces a plethora of plastics and other synthetic materials. Modern industry, trade, mining and agriculture all consume vast flows of petroleum, and of course the modern military is dependent on
Govt must show energy leadership Q I refer to the letter from Kylie Hargreaves of NSW Trade & Investment published in The Echo on September 2. While the gas ‘shortage’ may be caused by the export of gas by other states, the government has options for how to respond to this. The view presented by Ms Hargreaves is that the only option is to mine for unconventional gas. What I and others expect of our government is that they will ensure energy security without resorting to practices which damage our health and environment. Long-term planning could replace gas with renewables. The government could also negotiate with the other states
and the federal government to ensure energy security. After all, most of the governments at the moment are in the same political party. To present ourselves as victims of global economics forced to pursue unconventional gas as the only option shows a complete lack of leadership and vision. This is all without mentioning the questionable political deals that have led to the selling of Australia’s gas overseas without any consultation with the Australian people. Chris McAllister Mullumbimby Creek week’s letter from the deputy secretary, Resources
and Energy, NSW Trade and Investment Department brings into focus the confrontation between short-term economic needs and the medium- to long-term need to avert catastrophic economic, social, and environmental collapse resulting from anthropogenic global heat retention. There is no doubt that a hydrocarbon shortage due to restraint in the supply and use of fossil fuels creates huge economic, technical, and industrial challenges. However, research by Beyond Zero Emissions (bze.org.au) clarifies pathways that are both feasible and economical. In the home, switching to induction stoves, efficient
electric fridges, good insulation, double glazing, passive solar architecture, light electric transport, and organically grown food are solutions. This is based on continued installation of renewable energy supplies. Industrial heat can be efficiently supplied electrically in many cases as is also explained by BZE. Governmental determination to ignore and deny economic externalities serves to hasten the collapse of human civilisation and the impending methane-induced mass extinction of life on our beloved planet Earth. Sapoty Brook Mullumbimby
oil to power its air, navy and land forces. The industrialised world today operates on the tacit assumption that future supplies of oil are pretty much guaranteed. Humanity currently consumes around 88 million barrels of oil every day. That’s about two litres of oil per person per day. Of course, most of the world’s population uses a lot less than that, while a few use much more. For ex-
ample, the five per cent of humanity that lives in the US consumes nearly 20 per cent of the world’s oil supply. The US ranks alongside Saudi Arabia and Russia as one of the biggest oil producers in the world – at nearly ten million barrels a day – but whereas Russia and the Saudis are net exporters of oil, the United States imports almost as much oil as they produce.
The oil industry concentrates more wealth than any other industry. Every year, world trade in oil transfers more than one trillion dollars from importing to exporting countries. This wealth transfer mostly accrues to the Middle East, where production costs are as little as five per cent of the value of the exported oil. As the largest oil importer in the world, the US transfers
about $1 billion a day to oil exporting countries, most of which is then recycled back into the US economy by way of real estate purchases, property developments, military hardware and mercenary contracts with companies like Dyncorp and Lockheed, and investments in US treasury bonds and financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and the Carlyle Group. continued on page 14

Furthermore, the petrodollar system – based on a security agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia – requires that OPEC oil is traded solely in US dollars. This means that oil-importing countries like Australia must acquire US dollars in order to purchase OPEC oil, resulting in continuous and expanding international demand for US dollars, which ultimately sustains the value of the US dollar. The petrodollar system is an extension of what de Gaulle called the ‘inordinate privilege’ bestowed on the US under the post-war international monetary system established at the Bretton Woods conference of 1944, which set up the IMF, the World Bank and gave the US dollar world reserve status, the preferred currency

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm The current Sinquefield Cup in Saint Louis was originally expected to be tough practice for Magnus Carlsen before his world title defence in November. The world number one was to compete against five other top ten players for a $A340,000 prize fund in an event which Carlsen had won in 2013. Unfortunately for the champion, nothing has gone according to plan. By the time he arrived in Saint Louis, the street corners of the Central West End – the home of the tournament venue, the luxurious Saint Louis Chess Club – were covered in chalk bodies. The chalk figures, each listing a name, place and date for a person who had been shot by the police, were part of the protests which began in Saint Louis last month over the shooting of an unarmed teenager. Political events on the other side of the world were also having an effect on Carlsen. His world title match was supposed to take place in Sochi, Russia, but with war breaking out between Russia
and the Ukraine and the match sponsor being subject to international sanctions, it was becoming increasingly likely that Carlsen would be unable to defend his title against Viswanathan Anand unless the venue was changed. Despite off-board distractions, Carlsen still expected to perform creditably in Saint Louis but for another problem, the incredible form of Fabiano Caruana. Day after day Caruana won against the world class field, breaking records along the way. In the third round Carlsen lost badly to the Italian 22-year-old and after round seven the champion was three points behind Caruana and prepared to concede that he had given up all hopes for first place. As Caruana’s coronation proceeded, Carlsen could again turn his mind to November and the even bigger challenge of convincing the World Chess Federation that, rather than replace Carlsen with Karjakin and have a pseudo-world title event in Sochi, the world championship match should be moved to another city – San Jose in California was mooted – offering a bigger and safer payday for both Carlsen and Anand.

The perversity of this arrangement has become increasingly apparent and important economic figures are beginning to reveal cracks in the system, with countries like Russia, China and Iran now openly challenging the petrodollar system. Indeed, powerful forces are quietly working to reorder the international system in ways that better reflect contemporary geopolitical reality.

Turkeys stuffed as Red Devils storm into grand final Story & photo John Campbell
Byron Bay’s thrilling late-season surge has carried them to within one victory of a memorable premiership triumph. With rain whipping the ground, the boys clung tenaciously to the lead that they established in the first half to beat a determined but outclassed Kyogle Turkeys by 14–6 in their NRRRL preliminary final at the New Park on Sunday. Kyogle kicked off with what seemed like the entire population of the town behind them. Losing second-rower Cale ‘JJ’ Rowston in the warm-up was not the best start to the afternoon’s assignment, but it was clear from the outset that the Devils were focused and
in no mood to take prisoners. On the back of an early penalty, the boys found themselves deep in Kyogle’s territory. Simon ‘Toothless’ Kelly, never shy of taking the first hit-up, stormed the line and, with a bit of an in-and-away, found Sam ‘Dolly’ Dwyer in support. The offload was perfectly timed and Dwyer, as he had done the previous week, opened the scoring with a try under the sticks. Shortly after, captain Ryan ‘the Crab’ O’Connell sent halfback Ben ‘Spider’ Webber on a headless chook’s run that completely bamboozled the Kyogle defenders and from the next play Hemi ‘Sphere’ Mullen crossed. William ‘Peppi’ Goldsmith was never going to miss either conversion and, ahead 12–0, Byron looked the goods.

Byron’s Ben Webber launches a raid on the Turkeys’ line at Kyogle on Sunday.
The destiny of most footy games can usually be seen to have hung on one crucial event. And so it was here. As half-time loomed, the Bay, defending grimly against a home side benefiting from
repeat sets, refused to buckle in the face of Kyogle’s onslaught. The siren sounded for oranges with yet another Turkey having fallen short of the line – Byron’s tackling was one-in-all-in, and no red jer-
sey was found wanting. Going to the sheds with an advantage of two converted tries was considerably more encouraging for the visitors than had the score been 12–6. The Devils, relieved and exhausted, knew it only too well; the mob in the outer knew it; and, deep down, you suspect the Turkeys knew it too. If they kept their heads they would surely prevail against an opponent that offered little more than extreme effort in attack. Given the greasy conditions – the New Park is little better than a paddock – the quality of the contest had been as high as you would hope for in a no-hereafter encounter. Kyogle were the quicker out of the blocks in the sec-
ond forty. Penalties and possession count for everything these days and, with a glut of the ball, they pressed hard. But Byron were not going to throw it away, and the longer the arm wrestle went the more that became apparent. A lame chorus of ‘let’s go Turkeys’ (hardly a bloodcurdling battle-cry) belatedly came from the locals, but the Devils’ resolve was rock solid. Goldsmith’s penalty goal twelve from time sealed the deal before the Turkeys scored a consolation, and deserved, try. The Bay will take on the Seagulls at Ballina next Sunday to determine who are the premiers for 2014. Get off your arses and support them. They deserve it. Go the Bay!
Giving a Toss about Fathers Day Fathers Day dawned grey and pale as Clive Palmer’s complexion, the sky a lowhanging sheet of lead leaking greasy drizzle like a dodgy head gasket, but the grassstained gladiators of the Nick Shand Memorial cricket series were desperate as Afghani refugees to get the first semi final under way after two weeks of weather delays. The famous Lomath Oval turf was slick and sticky as a half sucked lolly as skipper Ash of the trendy sophisticates the Byron Full-Tossers called correctly and invited the bunker dwelling bush denizens of Left Bank to bat. Aaron opened the batting with shameless hussy of the cricketing world Brian and the pair saw off some early darts from Adam and the lively Shaun. Christian slayed the first lion with his looping chinaman but Eli (32) settled in with Brian (27) and the runs
came in like anonymous cheques to a Liberal party campaign account. Neil the birdman swooped on an outfield catch and then removed opposing skipper Scruff ’s stumps, then two scalps to Jean saw that Byron would not be completely bypassed. Leon (45) played sedately at his first over then launched with some well measured violence into the late overs with support from Matt and ‘stonewall’ Phil, the Bankers racking up a very credible 177 on the clinging turf. The Full-Tossers had a big contingent of supporters with them however, including wives and kids, and Shaun (45 n/o) and Christian (35 n/o) had plainly decided to ‘man up’. Shaun was all ruthless efficiency; his innings was like watching a laser-guided missile obliterate a slow-moving convoy, all over before you

knew what was happening. Christian had worked himself into a state of grace by this stage and when he was joined by Adam (31 n/o) the total began to retract like a steroid user’s testicles. Jan ny and Fr an k i e clipped the Tossers to within a dozen of victory, hardly raising a sweat except for when a particularly wellhit shot from Janny went within inches of decapitating a blithe wandering garden gnome who had meandered on to the field from
the adjacent garden festival. A late run of wickets to Scruff (2–11) and Gazza (2–9) took some wind out of the billowing Byron sails but this only saw the reemergence of Shaun and Christian, the retirees who slapped the rampant Tossers into the Grand Final with very little fuss. This week the Geckos converge onto the paddock from all parts of the Shire to take on the in form sandencrusted surf dudes the Suffolk Swingers.
’Tis the season to play tennis… Local tennis clubs are making ready for this year’s season and juniors and seniors alike are tying up the laces of their Volleys in anticipation. The Ocean Shores Tennis Club will open its doors this Saturday and local tennis fans will be encouraged to ‘make a racquet’ as part of the AO Tennis Blitz. The AO Tennis Blitz is the largest participation drive in Australian tennis history, encouraging people of all ages and abilities to pick up a racquet and have a hit.

The Ajna Temple Tattoo Studio is located in the rainforest 35 minutes outside of Byron Bay, on the traditional land of the Bundjalung people. Renowned tattoo artist and oil painter Claire Reid calls this piece of paradise home when not travelling and exhibiting around the world.

Ajna Temple Tattoo Studio has a vision of high quality art and tattooing, alongside principles of living in harmony with the planet.
CONTOUR CRAFTING Contour Crafting (CC) is a layered fabrication technology developed by Dr Behrokh Khoshnevis of the University of Southern California. Contour Crafting technology has great potential for automating the construction of whole structures as well as sub-components. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be automatically constructed in a single run, embedding in each house all the conduits for electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning. The potential applications of this technology are far reaching including but not limited to applications in emergency, low-income, and commercial housing. Our research also addresses the application of Contour Crafting in building habitats on other planets. Contour Crafting will most probably be one of the very few feasible approaches for building structures on the Moon and Mars, which are being targeted for human colonisation before the end of the new century.

TIMBERS ON THE RAILS
This year The Timbers released their debut album Lawless and it’s been a wild ride ever since. They showcase a distinctive alternative folk flavour reminiscent of bands such as The Pogues and Mumford and Sons.
KATIE AND YOU
Katie Noonan is a 4-times ARIA Award winner, a musician with an impressive technical mastery and a voice so pure she has become one of Australian’s most versatile and beloved vocalists. For her latest tour Noonan offers audiences a chance to get up close and personal when she takes the stage with just her piano.
opening it up and making it like friends sitting in a room together. I love to make the show inclusive. After all it’s just like friends hanging out together!’
‘Basically I have been dipping in and out of my Songbook Project. I released the album last year when I realised I have been a musician for half my life – it’s stripped back, just me an a string quartet.’
An impressive songwriter, Noonan is reflective on the process.
‘It’s weird. It’s like the lyrics take on different meanings as life paints deeper colours. I will go back to songs – and I only wanted to perform songs I still have a connection with; some I have moved on from but some are like talking to an old friend!’
‘It’s tricky songwriting; if you edit yourself too much you are your worst critic, and you are too tough with yourself and you are judging yourself too quickly. In the moment of inspiration, it’s important to be gentle with yourself; you are like a channel with yourself. There is this great thing Ani De Franco said once about songwriting, that half of learning what to say is learning what not to say, and what to play, what not to play, say what you need to with the least amount of words, that’s what you want to do. It’s about what you can say in five words rather than 50; the same with music!
Katie has been embracing the challenge of being solo.
Noonan is not an artist who is hard to classify. Classically trained, pop, jazz…
For The Timbers, it has been the festival circuit that has really helped grow a loyal fanbase.
‘It’s one of those things I haven’t done very much. It was a challenge that presented itself to me, and when I relaxed, I mean really super relaxed, it was just me. There is nowhere to hide. It brings a strong sense of intimacy. It’s just you and your audience. It took me a while to get used to it but now I really enjoy it. I try to keep it as relaxed as possible. I don’t write a set list. I am happy if someone calls out a song!
‘When it comes to music,’ she says, ‘I am not interested in the genre at all, it’s just me being me. The palette is getting broader and broader – in the end it is all about feeling connected and feeling a part of something bigger than yourself in the world. It is easy to feel disconnected; in the world it is a friend. You can sit next to a stranger and it’s like they are your friend because you are sharing something to make you feel connection.’
‘When I was touring solo for the first time I found it kind of lonely then I realised it’s more about
Katie Noonan performs at the Bangalow Bowlo on Friday. Tickets at the venue.
‘We have done a fair few festivals over the last 18 months. We are heading off for the Caloundra festival, then up to Cairns, then to Adelaide. We are playing with John Butler and the Waifs. Festivals are great because you get a chance to display your music to people who wouldn’t usually see you play. It’s your best chance to get to play to people who will like what you do. We strive to play festivals. It’s very creative – especially when you are camping and jamming and having fun with other musicians.
Having played as she says for half her life, Noonan reflects on how life changes how the lyrics sit with her.
As a singer and guitarist with the band, Ben Roberts believes it’s the high-octane energy of the band that sets them apart.
‘You grab ideas from other people’s performances!’
‘We have a lot of songwriters and three lead singers. Basically everyone does a lot of songwriting on their own; the music gets jammed and reworked until it’s ready.
‘It’s being written now,’ says Tim. ‘We are booked to record in December, and then we are looking forward to a few overseas opportunities, a bit more writing and recording.’
‘It generally starts with someone having an idea about how the song should sound, and people in the band are open to ideas.’
Back in 2013 The Timbers were awarded the SA APRA award for contribution to the music scene.
Right now The Timbers are working towards album number two.
‘It was good to get that award, to be recognised – it has definitely helped put us forward!’ According to Ben, it’s restraint that makes a good musician. ‘A good musician should be able to show restraint. A lot of people can play a million notes a minute but it’s where you leave the space that is most important.’ Expect a live show where ‘you can work up a sweat, dance and expect to be visually and audibly impressed with the high-octane nature of our performance’. The Timbers play Friday at the Rails.

soap box!
Joan Rivers died last week aged 81, and as a woman See Mandy liv who has also chosen an e in Echonetd aily www.echo.ne t.au/soap-box unconventional path, I have to acknowledge Rivers as a trailblazer, a pioneer, and one fucking funny bitch. Like Joan I never chose to be a standup comedian. It was just something I couldn’t stop. In fact if I were to be honest I’d probably say that if I had a ‘It’s a calling.’ That was what Joan Rivers choice I would have done something called being a standup comedian. ‘We far more impressive. Like Joan, I once make people happy.’ Rivers certainly hankered a secret desire for being an did that although I think along the way actress. of she pissed off a lot of people. I think Of course, I was shit, and at six foot tall that’s why I liked her. She didn’t buckle the only roles I was ever cast in was and become a nice old woman. She playing a bloke. It seemed I was only was sharp, prickly, and man, was she believable as a man. opinionated. In a world full of fenceAs a woman who is a comedian you are sitters, it’s such a relief when people the outsider. A misfit. You make people are actually prepared to say something. nervous. No-one is safe. Not your Apple carts were meant to be upset! friends, not your family, and certainly Boats are meant to be rocked. And the not your husband. And of course, the edge? Well sometimes you need to run number-one target is always yourself. so fast at it you fall off. It’s the climb For women this is the unthinkable – back up that keeps you human. from the minute we are born we are Joan Rivers became a comedian at a socialised to keep up the mask, to time when women were still expected never let the world know that behind to be happy little homemakers who our pretty smiles we feel fat, unloved, anxious and imperfect. kept their traps shut.
LAUGH ME A RIVER
In an interview Rivers once commented, ‘There is not one female comic who was beautiful as a little girl’. This is where we strange-looking girls start to understand how things work. Pretty girls generally never have to, because they seem to be dished a lot less rejection and ridicule. Smart women like Rivers grow spikes. Rivers had no edit button; her brashness and her honesty were disarming… and seldom flattering. She goes in hard, but twice as hard on herself. ‘I said to my husband… Why don’t you call out my name when we’re making love?’ He said ‘I don’t want to wake you up.’ Or what about her take on being naive around sex when she got married: ‘All my mother told me about sex was that the man goes on top and the woman on the bottom. For three years my husband and I slept in bunk beds.’ Nothing was off limits. ‘I had a cold and my doctor recommended coffee enemas. I can never go back to Starbucks…’ She even took out a beloved actress and dead president in one swoop with ‘Katie Holmes is not a very good actress. Did you see her try to play John F Kennedy’s wife? She was so bad he shot himself in it.’
In a country where everyone pretends to be nice, Joan didn’t pretend. Rivers cut to the chase. ‘All babies look like Renee Zellweger pushed against a glass window,’ Ouch! She was truly the Queen of Mean. Joan certainly understood that comedy came from a sense of dissatisfaction, of occasional sadnesses, or unhappy insights. ‘I think anyone who’s perfectly happy isn’t particularly funny.’ Just look at the Dalai Lama. Actually don’t. I think he’s happy and funny. Sorry Joan, Lama 1, Rivers 0. Joan Rivers started out talking about her everyday experiences as a housewife. In a male-dominated world and industry women just weren’t saying what she was saying. ‘If God had wanted us to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.’ And one of my faves: ‘I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again!’ Being a comedian is not what it’s cracked up to be. Basically you get to be an outsider all of your life. Sure you’d be the life of a party, if anyone ever invited you to one. You’re either doing a gig, driving home from a gig, or you’re on the ‘do not invite’ list.
Joan Rivers may have had celebrity, but she never made the A List weddings and parties. That caustic tongue was terrifying, because Rivers cut right through. I have often wondered what will happen to me. Will I still be working as a comedian in five years? Ten years? Fifteen years? Will people want to listen to an old woman? Joan Rivers pushed on through, joking about age, plastic surgery and of course death. ‘As I get older I’m going to a lot more funerals. And let me tell you something. It’s a great pickup scene. A graveside funeral is live eHarmony for the bereaved.’ Her attitude to death, like life, was courageous. ‘If you can laugh at things it means you can deal with it,’ said Rivers, who clearly had no intention of omitting her approaching demise from her routines. ‘One morning you’ll wake up and read a headline: Joan Rivers Found Dead… On George Clooney’s Face.’ Vale, Joan Rivers. A woman full of so much plastic that she’ll last longer than Tupperware. I guess I should give Joan the last word. ‘I succeeded by saying what everyone else was thinking.’

ENTERTAINMENT MORRIS IN THE SHACK Andrew Morris has completed an epic Euro-rock opus written in Berlin! This, however, is not it. No, the Brisbane stalwart, best known for his work with Bernard Fanning and The Wilson Pickers, as well as a series of crafted solo albums, needed a break from all the brooding. Inspired by Tom Hodgkinson’s counterconsumer-culture manifesto How To Be Free, he summoned as many of the members of The Gin Club as he could muster, put on the beers and banged down a few unrehearsed gems in his newly set up northern rivers home studio. The set, informed by Morris’s current solo shows, includes a crop of live faves such as Dylan’s It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry, Gillian Welch’s Look At Miss Ohio and Tim Rogers’s (You Am I) Heavy Heart. The result is a session coruscating with uncommon vigour and spontaneity. And yet most of us would give a tooth to be able to engineer a product of such sonic warmth in the space of a weekend. The Situationist – another lesson in song-serving intuition from Andrew Morris – is being released through Morris’s own label, Soul Arch Recordings. As for the epic, brooding Euro-rock album… you’ll have to wait a few more months for that, but in the meantime you can catch him at the Sheoak Shack in Fingal at 7pm on Saturday.

THE OM-NIPOTENT MR P
The delightful Darren Percival returns as a featured performer at Mullum Music Festival this year. Since his appearance on The Voice, Percival has set about to secure himself a spot on stages around the country as a crooner with a difference. Warm, engaging, interactive, spontaneous, traditional and creative, Percival has made his mark singing about love. It’s what he does best.
For this year’s Mullum Music Festival Percival is leading a unique connecting process. ‘I am bringing my Om tent. It’s something I started because I wanted to offer an idea of a festival sacred space. I have a teepee and I wait until there are 20 or 30 people ‘I have accepted that I am successful at it. It’s outside; we walk inside, we decide how many what the audience want.’ oms we will sing, when to harmonise or to do it in unison. We om and then have a few moments For Percival the art starts in selecting the song of reflection or silence and then the next one that he chooses to bring to light. comes. It will be great.

I Music Festival with his full band, and in his personalised Om tent! celebrate the mistakes!’
Percival is a great singer of songs. ‘I don’t need to be on The Voice to know that people love hearing the songs they already know. At times I guess people can accuse me of being a “covers” artist, but artists such as Neil Young just released an album of songs he didn’t write. Artists do it all the time.

COMEDY CRACKERS Don’t miss a cracker night of comedy at Ocean Shores Tavern this Thursday, hosted by the hilarious Fiona McGary. Fiona has performed all over the country alongside Australia’s best comics and appeared on the ABC, The Comedy Channel and recently Channel Seven’s FMVTV comedy series. In 2006 she was one of only a dozen comics throughout the country to be chosen to audition for The David Letterman Show. Also featured on the night are Ellen Briggs, Paul McMahon, Ting Lim, Jenny Burke and more! Free from 8pm.
KIDS ON FILM Crabbes Creek Public School had a unique idea two years ago, which was formulated after a chat with two year-6 girls. Linda Parlet told Seven, ‘They had gone all through school together and were off to high school the next year. They were very nervous about it as they were going to be going to different high schools. So from a school of fewer than 80 pupils into high schools of more than 700 – and they didn’t know anyone. I walked away from that conversation thinking how daunting that must be! It got me wondering if there was any way (outside of sport) that the smaller local schools could get together and interact so as to make their transition

to ‘big school’ a little easier and give them the possibility of knowing others when they are thrown into a huge school. Being involved in Crabbes Creek Community Film Society I thought that a film festival might fill that gap.’ Using Tropfest as an inspiration, the students were given an item that must appear in the film. Last year the item was Crab. ‘Most of the films entered were set along an environmental theme or bullying. This year we decided to continue with the pupils’ interest in the environment and made the theme Rain,’ says Linda. This year six schools have entered films: Carool, Dungay, Stokers Siding, Burringbar, Crabbes Creek and Fernleigh. The quality of the films this year, like last year, is fantastic. CAROOL SCHOOL ENTRANTS SHOW THEIR FILMIC GENIUS AT CRABBES CREEK HALL ON SATURDAY
I am completely blown away at the talent such youngsters have and their grasp of current events and the world around them. It gives me faith that these kids will be smarter than we have been with looking after each other and the world they will inherit from us!’ The Red Carpet Night is at Crabbes Creek Hall this Friday and is open to the whole family. Running from 6 till 9pm, teachers, VIPs, judges and guests will be welcomed to the newly renovated Crabbes Creek Hall, which will be transformed into a ‘Hollywood’ cinema. Like an opening night there is a red carpet for the students (and everyone else) to walk down. All the students dress up either in their ‘good clothes’ or fancy dress. Photos are taken, fingerfood is served, entertainment is provided by local musicians and fire-twirlers and then everyone is ushered into the cinema. Best of all the pupils get to see their work on the big screen. Prizes this year include iPads and Go Pros for them to use at their schools. Tickets are sold at the door. $10 a family, $5 a single, kids younger than 12 free!

ENTERTAINMENT
Stars This week’s Venus in Virgo addresses day-to-day relationships with a committed view to improvement…
E
ARIES: Speech control’s high priority this week, so if you feel too emotional to communicate without blame then it’s better for the moment to refrain. The present placement of Venus expects courtesy, respect and good manners, no matter how upset or stressed you may temporarily be.
H
TAURUS: Your boss planet Venus in the zodiac’s most meticulous, fastidious and picky sign can be hard to please. Which you could ease by consulting with others and considering their needs. If people seem to have lost that loving feeling, be the ones who strives to revive it.
F
LEO: This week’s Venus in your house of money’s good news if you can work with its limits, restrictions and constraints. Best approaches? Anger management, judicious judgment and morphing every exercise in frustration into something fun. Or at least instructive entertainment, because after all isn’t that your forte…
SCORPIO: This Virgo-flavoured week’s in no mood for drama. Neither are you. It favours career planning, domestic organisation and whatever improvements you care to make to your physical, emotional and/or financial health… Extols the value of reliable, steady, dependable, stable, supportive friends. Ditto ordinary joys and mundane pleasures.
G
J
M
GEMINI: This week wants harmony in the home. If that means defusing arguments or soothing emotional outbursts, right now you have the savvy, smarts and skillful articulation to do what it takes. But there’s a major caution against sharing classified information, so be discreet about what you disclose.
CANCER: This week’s best medicine? Love. Not working? Try increasing the dose. Playing the charm card, applying gentle words that turneth away wrath. Use the present positive energy for getting a whole heap of stuff done: paperwork, calls, follow-ups, all the things you usually never get round to.
I
VIRGO: With winter now officially over and a dazzling Sun/Venus alliance in Virgo revving up your inner organiser, this week’s vivacious spring surge has you streamlining, downsizing and decluttering. All so that you’re fully sorted, ordered and ready to dance with whatever this week cares to present

Some of Southern Cross University’s most talented musicians will collaborate with members of Australia’s premier large ensemble for improvising, the Australian Art Orchestra (AAO), during a free public workshop at Studio One29, D Block Theatre, Contemporary Music Building, SCU Lismore campus. on Tuesday 16 September 2-4pm.
In an incredibly exciting new production of Henry V, Damien Ryan directs his first mainstage production for acclaimed theatre company Bell Shakespeare. Henry V will be coming to NORPA for three performances only on 19 and 20 September. Ryan’s contemporary take on this classic tale about a king who unites a nation with his eloquent words and ideas is inspired by a true story; for 57 consecutive nights during the Blitz in 1941, a group of boys stuck in a bunker started a boys’ club, where they would rehearse a new play each week, including Shakespeare’s works, and then perform it for the other people in the shelter. A single character opens all five acts, preparing the audience to think of the stage as the fields in France. The play begins with the young king of England, Henry V, in an angry dialogue with King Charles of France, an argument that escalates into war. This is a story of religious manipulation, loose justifications for pre-emptive conflict, betrayals of trust, the slaughter of prisoners, the possession of women as pawns of imperialism, and the final futility of the exploits of war. Tickets Adult $47 / Senior $42 / Concession $40 / Under 18 $20 / Groups of four or more $40 per ticket.
most-performed playwrights in the world. It tells the story of Barney Cashman who, in the middle of a mid-life crisis, decides he is going to have one last red hot affair before he dies. A gentle soul with no experience in adultery, he is charting new territory. He picks up three very different women, one by one takes them back to his mother’s apartment, and the results are hilarious. Last Of The Red Hot Lovers opens on Friday and runs until Friday 26 September at the Rochdale theatre. Tickets are $20/$15 from Noah’s Arc or online at the LTC website www.lismoretheatrecompany.org.au.
ECSTATIC DANCING The global network of ecstatic dance comes to Byron Bay.

A talent for titbits Matthew Michaelis
Remy Tancred spent many years working in publishing in Sydney and loved it, so naturally when she moved to the north coast 11 years ago, she turned to this industry first. ‘There was an obvious need for a community paper in our little town of Lennox Head, so I started the Lennox Wave, which is now in its eighth year,’ Remy says. It was in the pages of the Lennox Wave that the Phat Ducks was conceived, the precursor to the publication of Ate Phat Ducks in 2006. ‘The book is based on my culinary adventures in the region,’ she told me. ‘From there came the quarterly Sample magazine, a showcase of our local produce and restaurants.’ Now Remy is fast becoming the marketing doyenne of our local food producers. And what better way to put our talented foodies’ stuff on the map than to sample it out to all who love eating? From these ‘little things’ has grown the annual Sample Festival that Remy founded and now directs. When you look around these fertile lands we live on and around, you can see that the northern rivers region produces an incredible array of products. More and more talented farmers and foodies come to the northern rivers

to start again and bring with them their experience and talent. Tancred created the concept food festival based on the need to showcase these goods and services we’re so spoilt with. ‘There was a shortage of networking within this industry. Sample, along with Northern Rivers Food, have provided a link between a strong group of foodies willing to support each other and the local industry. I’m passionate about local food and producers, and about educating readers on making sustainable food choices,’ she says. Sample Festival has been an extraordinary success with more than 150 exhibitors and 10,000 attendees, and is the only event of its kind in northern NSW. Remy Tancred has certainly proven that she has a talent for promoting other’s talents. If you’d like to sample those talented titbits, the Sample Festival is presenting its fourth event at the Bangalow Showground from 8am till 4pm on Saturday 13 September.

Food & travel goss A tip of the ‘hat’ to our local legends For those of us who keep track of all the foodie news, Tuesday saw the Good Food Guide Awards for 2015 Hats published in the SMH. It’s ‘respect’ to the three of our local well-loved eateries who scored the Hats: Fins in Kingscliff, Harvest Cafe in Newrybar and Town Cafe in Bangalow. All scored one Hat each in a highly competitive food industry. In the world of food outlets, these little symbols are not to be sneezed at. A tip of the Hat to you all, and keep up the good work.

House-made Roadhouse
BANGALOW
Some things you just never get tired of – aged scotch, good food and wine, great sex (yes, I just said that), and there are just no substitutes for coffee, chocolate and smokes (I don’t anymore, but have). The Roadhouse next to the Bluesfest office in Byron Bay appears to be selling some of the quintessential elements (excluding the sex bit, of course). The atmosphere in a space is usually a composite of its creators. I’ve been told a number of folk are behind this nicely decked-out concept cafe. It’s not a franchise sort of concept (unless you consider Melbourne or New York to be franchisors); it’s rustic Melbourne-esque meets New York, or some such thing. Whatever the look, the stage at Roadhouse obviously has been set for quality. Appearances are just right, along with the light; the service is a counterpoint – a delivery-only affair. The coffee I consumed thrice, and I only do that when the stuff is good. Applause to the Roadhouse baristas (they pour the Allpress coffee like they were stolen off the street as toddlers and trained to produce only the very sexiest cups). Everyone blends in here because all are seen to be not seen. I’m sure there were some famous folk here (apart from myself

– ha) but you wouldn’t know unless you were in the know. Here there’s a bank of expensive grog behind glass; it’s the nightmare of alcoholics and the aphrodisiac of foodies like me. Should I have a snifter of Glenfiddich? I asked the counter at what time I could order a drink. The answer was as indeterminate as my ordering one at 8am: ‘From 7am, I think… not sure, but you have to order food with it’. I’ve never had scotch at breakfast with a coffee – it’s just unthinkable – or is it? Could I die on the way home without having had a single malt in the AM while sober? You really get the feeling here that nobody is going to get uptight about your ordering a martini with fruit toast. It’s a comfort zone where you can be without patent attention for those who seek such things. I look around and see many who could be well heeled. At the same time a student in front of me was drinking his coffee from a takeaway cup. In front of him was a plastic container with his cut sandwich, obviously brought from home. He sat at the table in the sun for as long as it took me to write this article. Two bites of his sandwich then he produced a book and started to read. Yes guys, it’s really good of you not to have ejected this young patron; others would without flinching. So, along with good food, there

is a ‘cool’ thing going on here. House-made, really fresh and friendly food is the Roadhouse credo and this I gleaned from every plate I witnessed leave the kitchen. A pork belly came laid in a Polish setting (I asked the person consuming it – he happened to be from that country and was more than happy with the context), a side of red cabbage or ‘kraut’ snuzzled the meat. I’d eaten breakfast, a local sausage plate that came with generous cuts of kransky hidden beneath a plethora of ground-to-kitchen green leaf, herb and garnish. A pancooked chilli lay low for me to find; a spicy surprise. The only ‘thing’ – a dry pair of tortilla were served that were not possible to use or eat, so I ordered a side of bread for soak-up. I was alone so enlisted the help of a couple now sharing the bench with me. The woman was beautifully tattooed with her late father’s artwork as the subject matter. She owns her own tapas bar at the ‘Goldy’, she explained. ‘I love coming down to the Roadhouse for the atmosphere at night; the cocktails and the food are the bomb on my day off.’ She and her friend had ordered the charred satay king prawn and Thai green pawpaw salad garnished with cherry toms, chilli, peanuts and lime; and a Roadhouse spiced fish taco served with avocado, charred corn salsa and dry-smoked

ENTERTAINMENT THE YELLOW ROOM: MARGARET OLLEY 17 September 2014 – 15 March 2015
MOAC celebrates Margaret Olley’s yellow room. Olley described the yellow room at the rear of the Paddington terrace as her sanctuary. It provided the setting for numerous interior and still-life paintings created over a 40-year period. The exhibition features work from the last two decades of her life and includes paintings, preparatory sketches and unfinished boards from the early 1990s through to 2011, the year of her death. The Gallery will be closed from 5pm Sunday 7 September to Friday 12. September 2014 and will re-open at 10am on Saturday 13th September when we resume standard operating hours: 10am – 5pm Wednesday to Sunday.
LEARN HOW TO PITCH FROM INTERNATIONAL PITCHING WINNER Screenworks is bringing Miriam Stein, the winner of the 2013 International Pitching Competition, to the northern rivers to run a creative workshop on the process of selling concepts to television broadcasters. Ms Stein will assist local creatives in developing the most effective verbal and visual presentation material for their projects at the Paper to Pitch one-day workshop in Byron Bay on Sept 12.
‘Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up’ Pablo Picasso As a child Jane Buchanan used to sketch family members and write poetry. By her own admission, she was an introvert, and through her teenage years started asking the big question. ‘What is life all about?’ Innocence was disappearing along with the urge to do art.
Having spent more than 25 years in the screen production industry, Miriam Stein creates and sells formats for television all around the world. She will present examples of the best international television formats and how they are pitched, as well as work through the process of selling television concepts from the verbal pitch, to creating the most effective selling documents and making a sizzle reel.
The complications of life kept her busy and when her mum passed away in 2007 she was shell shocked. Something had shifted and she needed a way of expressing herself. Jane completed a visual arts diploma at Murwillumbah Tafe. While there, she met fellow artists and another world opened up for her.
Ms Stein said ‘I’m looking forward to seeing the television content ideas coming out of the northern rivers, sharing some of the information we have gathered on what broadcasters around the world are buying and establishing if there are any northern rivers creatives we can build ongoing working opportunities with.’
Artists that inspire Jane include John Bokor and Elisabeth Cummings.
For tickets or more information www.screenworks.com.au. This month, Lismore Regional Gallery will play host to Australia’s richest combined Aboriginal Art Prize as the 2013 Parliament of New South Wales Aboriginal Art Prize rolls into town. More than 30 unique works by contemporary Aboriginal artists will be on display, including the winner of the 2013 Award, Karla Dickens. The works included in the 2013 prize explore a myriad of social and personal subjects, including memory, identity, community, and land. The tour showcases a variety of media and techniques, from traditional to contemporary. Selected Bundjalung students from the six local public primary schools and local artist and Bundjalung man, Roy Gordon, came together at Albert Park Public School to produce a series of paintings based on The Three Brothers Dreaming story. The paintings on display in The Three Brothers Art Project are the result of that collaboration. Soapbox is a mixed-media installation consisting of objects, experimental sound and video components. While recalling Australia’s political past, Soapbox is ultimately a reflection on our current political climate, encouraging us to question how we got here and where we are going. This exhibition is an initiative of the SCU Curatorial Lab.

IF I STAY
CHLOË GRACE MORETZ IN ‘IF I STAY’
According to Chloë Grace Moretz’s brief bio on IMDb, her father was a plastic surgeon. It is alarming to think that a not-yet-mature actress might already have had her features ‘enhanced’ (her top lip suggests it’s so), but that’s showbiz, I guess. Moretz made a name for herself as Mindy in the Kick Ass movies and she shows what she is capable of in this better-than-average teen romance. She plays Mia, a gifted student of the cello, living in Oregon, whose dream is to be enrolled in the exclusive Juilliard School in distant New York.

She meets and falls for Adam (Jaimie Blackley), singer/songwriter in a band about to make it big. Tragedy strikes when she, her parents and little brother Teddy are involved in a head-on collision. After the introductory scenes, the story is told from the frantic PoV of Mia’s spirit as she rushes around the corridors of the hospital that has responded to the accident. The relationship of the young lovers is charted in flashbacks as Mia, unseen by all, discovers what hand fate has dealt her. In a coma, her corporeal self must find the will to survive. It is a strangely metaphysical approach for what might otherwise have been a standard account of boy-meets-girl, with a bit of gender politics thrown into the mix. As in Begin Again, music takes a prominent part in everybody’s journey – Mia’s father was the drummer in a punk band. There is a truckload of soppiness in the script, as you’d expect, and Blackley is rather too nice and

polite to be a late-night rabble-rouser, but at its core lies an undeniable By John Campbell and warming truthfulness. Mia learns the hardest way of all what a priceless gift life is and that love is the only currency that matters when determining its worth – it’s a timeless message. Mireille Inos and Joshua Leonard are particularly good as Mia’s folks and the veteran Stacy Keach kicks in with a sensitive performance as Gramps. I liked it a lot.
INTO THE STORM A few years back I attended an Asha Bhosle concert at the Opera House. The minute that the legendary Indian songstress appeared on stage, the auditorium became a sea of raised hands, like submarine periscopes, all clutching phone cameras. It was the ultimate manifestation of the all-consuming idea – driven largely by social media – that ‘if I haven’t got it on vid, it hasn’t happened’ (and I, I hasten to add, am as guilty as the next person). The selfie has established itself in movie-making, most successfully with films such as The Blair Witch Project (1999) and Cloverfield (2008), and in this director Steven Quale has collaborated with writer John Swetnam to take it a step further by giving cameras to characters in all three of his storylines. Pete is a professional stormchaser and, with his crew, including beautiful Allison the meteorologist (and single mum – hint #1), is hopeful of shooting inside the eye of an approaching tornado. Trey and little brother Donny are meant to be taping a graduation ceremony at the high school where their widowed dad (hint #2) is deputy principal. Donk and his mate are wannabe Evel Knievels who haven’t got the common sense to get out of the twister’s path. Their destinies, of course, are intertwined as Silvertown, Oklahoma, takes a hammering from the most humungous tornado in the history of the universe.
Cliches abound – admittedly, the entire genre is a cliche – and none of the characters is drawn with any great depth, which is not necessarily a weakness for flicks in which familiarity goes hand in glove with the themes of sacrifice, courage and the indomitable human spirit etc. The CGI is excellent – long shots of the storm trashing barns and powerlines are fab – the scene in which Trey and the sexy undergrad are drowning in an abandoned factory is surprisingly harrowing and the ending is double-brie. If you’re partial to a good disaster movie, this one is a ball-tearer. Check it out.
CAVALRY Dying for the sins of others is one of Catholicism’s darkest obsessions. Father Lavelle (Brendan Gleeson), pastor to his flock in rural Ireland, is taken aback when a penitent on the other side of the grille tells him of the sexual abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of a priest. As retribution, he intends to kill Lavelle in a week’s time. Lavelle has recognised the voice of his would-be executioner and it is his acceptance of the situation and his preparation for that moment of truth on a windswept beach that propels the narrative. It is a stern and laughless landscape in which writer-director John Michael McDonagh (responsible also for the screenplay of Ned Kelly – another martyr?) has set his drama. It seems isolated from the rest of the world, thus becoming a microcosm of western society in general, and its small coastal township is peopled by characters who, through their eccentricities, flaws and foibles, tend occasionally to have the story teetering on the borderline of TV’s Midsomer Murders – the local rent-boy (Owen Sharpe) is needlessly overdone. But the mystery of ‘who will it be?’ keeps you entwined, as does Lavelle’s spiritual journey as his faith is tested to near breaking point. Building with McDonagh on what they achieved together in The Guard, it is a fabulous performance from Gleeson. Deeply layered and robust, he nonetheless portrays a man who, you suspect, might be about to crack like an eggshell. The question of how any person, least of all one declaring to have a vocation, could sustain his integrity and maintain an allegiance to an organisation – the church – that has been so thoroughly and publicly discredited in recent times for turning a blind eye. Cavalry is currently screening at Pighouse Flicks in Byron Bay.

Bruce Bruce is a really handsome ginger and white boy. His big passion is cat milk and boy can he put it away! He’s a charmer and completely loveable. He gets on well with his mates in the shelter but he’d love a family to come and fall in love with him and take him home. He’s a proud looking chap and he wouldn’t let you down with giving you his love and affection.
DOBBIE does everything right, yet he is still without a home. He is very friendly, loves to sit with humans, gets on well with the other cats and kittens, enjoys games, is undemanding, and never complains. It is very sad to see the months go by, and no one comes for him. Such a great friend. All he wants is a special friend to love him and take him home.

News Extra County council merger could represent more money for river and weeds An extra $130,000 a year would be available to eradicate weeds and improve the health of the Richmond River with the merger of three north coast county councils. Rous Water chairwoman Sue Meehan said the merger of Rous County Council, Far North Coast County Council and the Richmond River County Council into Rous Water would create a more efficient body.
Cr Meehan said the three county councils had voted to merge after seven years of debate and discussions. She told Echonetdaily however that it would be another 12 months before the merger was finalised so it would be business as usual for the county councils until that occurred. ‘For the time being the councils will stay as is until governance issues are sorted,’

she said. She said the current review of local government had helped speed up the merger talks. ‘The review of local government is hanging there in the background,’ she said. ‘We haven’t got a timeline on what is happening there and it’s quite open-ended. ‘So we felt it was important to be on the front foot and show that we are making reforms necessary on our
local footprint right now.’ Cr Meehan said because the footprint of Rous County Council was different to the others, negotiations had taken place with neighbouring councils.

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST Community Representatives North Byron Parklands Regulatory Working Group In 2012 the New South Wales Planning Assessment Commission approved a five year trial of the North Byron Parklands festival site at Yelgun. A condition of the consent requires North Byron Parklands to form the North Byron Parklands Regulatory Working Group (RWG) to oversee the environmental performance of events during the trial period. Council is required under the consent to nominate two Community Representatives to sit on the RWG for a term of two years. The first two year term is coming to a conclusion and the North Byron Parklands RWG is now seeking two new community representatives for the next two year term on this Group. RWG meetings occur quarterly for approximately 2 hours during business hours. Council therefore is seeking Expressions of Interest from persons that are interested in being nominated and appointed as a Community Representative on the RWG. A copy of the RWG Terms of Reference is available on Council’s Web Site and community access points. All expressions of interest will be reported to Council at an Ordinary meeting to be held in October for consideration and nomination as a Community Representative to the RWG.

The tragic deaths of four young people last week in a single-vehicle crash on the highway at Newrybar raise a number of questions as to the cause of the crash, which is still to be determined by the coroner. Those wondering what might be done to prevent more young people dying in cars could take a look at STEER www.steerproject.org.au, a local project which offers education and resources on safe driving and is auspiced by Byron Youth Service.

Ever wondered about Mullumbimby’s madness? Brunswick Valley Historical Society has called upon our resident filmmaker Sharon Shostak to make a featurelength documentary about the influx of the hippies in the 1970s and the mark they left on the town. So if you have a good story from this time, were once a hippy and want to chat on camera about it, and particularly if you have any good archival snaps or footage, or you can contribute financially to this worthy project, please contact the museum on 6684 4367 or email Sharon s.a.shostak@ gmail.com.

Is there a state election on the way or is it just coincidence that Byron Shire now has money for a new hospital and a Byron Bay bypass? The hospital could be a good thing if we get the birthing unit and surgery we were promised, but Zeus knows what good the government’s $10 million will do in alleviating traffic woes in the Bay.

Kanan Alexander, who is responsible for the 1983 footage of the first civil rights meeting in Main Arm that led to the formation of The Echo and the subsequent The Echo Doco by his niece Sharon Shostak, now travels the world, taking photographs, which you can see at www.peopleoftheworld.photography. We suspect this gentleman with an inflatable sheep, from Brno in Czechoslovakia, might fit in well in Mullum. See also the Backlash about Brunswick Valley Historical Society’s plans for a doco on the hippies.
1,400 people with dementia in 2014, and this figure is expected to increase to 3,100 by 2050 according to a study prepared by Deloitte Access Economics for Alzheimer’s Australia NSW. The 2050 estimate for Balmain is the lowest at 1,743 while Camden tops the chart at 4,828. You can find out more at fightdementia.org.au
And among those worse things are the problems pointed out by the book Limits To Growth, which warned about global warming some
forty years ago. According to this article in The Guardian, the authors’ much scoffed-at predictions are pretty spoton: http://bit.ly/Glimits.sw

The beheading of journalists by the Islamic State is barbaric and awful, of course, but other than the immediate inyour-face imagery Backlash doesn’t see much difference from other state-approved barbarity like cluster bombs, land mines and napalm, cheerfully sold to the West by armaments corporations. The current need to stop IS does help our Tony Abbott to ride the ‘strong man’ image to the next election, but there are worse things coming in the next twenty years to worry about than our dodgy politicians.
