Shark victim’s wife speaks A week after a shark claimed the life of Paul Wilcox, his wife Victoria has told The Echo that despite her deep grief she would like to stay in the area and is wanting to resettle. ‘I want to reach out to the Byron community,’ she said. ‘I don’t blame the shark, or the town or anyone,’ she says. ‘The beach is such a health giver.’ Mr Wilcox, 50, died on September 9 at around 10.40am after he was mauled by a shark, possibly a great white, while swimming about 15 metres off Clarkes Beach in Byron Bay. Mark Hickey, who is a Newcastle lawyer, was praised by police for risking his life to pull Mr Wilcox to shore. Subsequently a large strip of coastline, from Broken Head to South Golden Beach, was closed for 24 hours. And contrary to all media reports, Victoria says she was not on the beach when the attack happened. ‘Our daily ritual included a swim for Paul and a run to the lighthouse for me’, she said. ‘I came to the beach continued on page 2

Pam Brook (Brookfarm) and Clayton Donovan (ABC TV’s Wild Kitchen) were just two of the many chefs giving a sample of our region’s celebrated food at Saturday’s Sample Food Festival. Co-organiser Remy Tancred said the event drew record crowds. And as for next year? ‘One “big name” guest has already been locked in and program planning will begin early in the new year,’ she said.

But still refuse to release key docs relating to the West Byron development ‘Unfair and unbalanced’ is how director of public affairs at the Department of Planning and Environment, Mathew Jones, described last week’s story on the lack of transparency in his department and the release of key West Byron documents. Yet despite repeated calls, The Echo has not seen withheld docu-
ments from a freedom of information request which was lodged by the Byron Residents Group. Those documents include reports or comments to the planning minister on the Belongil Estuary, acid sulfate soils and traffic management. The freedom of information refusal comes despite a backdrop of ICAC findings against various NSW Liberal MPs, who received illegal funds from property developers.
When asked why his department refused to listen to the community’s wishes regarding deferment of West Byron zoning at December’s public meeting, Mr Jones replied, ‘The Department of Planning and Environment has not been formally asked by the community reference group or Byron Shire Council to defer the project.’ ‘The community reference group sought an extension to the exhibi-

tion period by two months; however an extended exhibition of nine weeks had already been provided to account for the holiday period and so this was not supported. ‘In its most recent correspondence, Council requested that the minister for planning consider a number of matters before making a decision on the proposal, but did not seek a deferral of the proposal.’ Q Letter from Mr Jones, page 11
The question of whether NSW councils should be able to invest their cash reserves ethically has drawn an evasive response from the new local government minister, Paul Toole (Nationals). It comes as Byron Council’s finance manager recently told The Echo that current state government policy prohibits ethical investments. Council’s James Brickley said, ‘While Council would like to consider ethical investing as per the standing resolution, it is not able to due to state government direction; plus Council has no power to direct financial institutions where it places its funds for investment.’ ‘[This is] due to the current Ministerial Investment Order (MIO) prohibiting councils from investing in such products, and as a result there are no financial institutions offering ethical investments to councils.’ MIOs were revised in response to the issues related to Collateralised Debt Obligations (CDOs), according to minister Toole’s office. The Echo understands that the revision occured after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and some councils were affected by subprime mortgage investments linked to the US financial system But the minister’s office declined to answer whether it was concerned that the state’s 152 councils are prohibited from investing ethically. According to Byron Council’s schedule of investments, most of its cash reserves are in Australianowned banks and building societies.

They have travelled from around Australia and the globe to be with her. Born in the UK, Mr Wilcox was a corporate trainer and author who founded a successful business called Refocus Learning. The couple had moved to the area around five years ago. Evolution Concierge is planning the memorial of Paul’s life early this week and is seeking support from the
community to help Victoria set up a new life in Byron.

Nimbin taken siege by 70 cops Darren Coyne
A massive police operation which effectively held the small town of Nimbin hostage on Thursday September 11 has resulted in ten arrests and the seizure of 4.5 kilograms of cannabis. Drawn from across the state, police also descended
on a home at Jiggi where a a ‘large’ quantity of cannabis was found. During the operation, the Oasis cafe and Perceptios bookshop were both raided. Richmond Local Area command crime manager Detective Inspector Cameron Lindsay told The Echo that those arrested faced various
charges, including ten charges of supplying a prohibited drug, seven in dealing with the proceeds of crime and three charges of possesing a prohibited drug. Insp Lindsay said the 4.5 kilograms of ‘high quality’ cannabis has a street value of $92,000, while 136 plants were seized and destroyed, with a

street value of $292,000, at the Jiggi property. He said $23,025 was also seized, and he warned that more people would be arrested ‘in the near future’. Inspector Lindsay dismissed suggestions that Nimbin was being targeted while other towns in the region such as Casino battled an ‘epidemic of ice’. ‘The community have told us this is what they wanted.’ Richmond Local Area Command superintendent Greg Martin said, ‘As a result of this operation, we have dismantled a criminal group we allege was responsible for supplying significant amounts of drugs throughout the Nimbin area.’ Nimbin Hemp Embassy spokesman Alan Salt told The Echo that ‘We feel this is unnecessary. The whole drug war is unnecessary.’ Q Read more on this story at

Homes needed for typhoon victims Typhoon Yolanda was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, and devastated parts of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines. And while those affected have dropped from the media radar, two well-known locals are off to help build 50 homes for those who remain homeless from the typhoon, which occured November 8, 2013. After a spontaneous trip to the Philippines in January 2014, Treehouse restaurant co-owner Nicholas Simpson found himself walking among the aftermath of the typhoon on Malapascua Island and met with many who were still without homes. ‘The seed sprouted into a need and there was no turning back,’ he says. ‘With the help of a few friends we created our notfor-profit humanitarian organisation It Ain’t Nothing, which allows everyone to help in some way. ‘In all our projects we promise that all donations will go directly to those in need.

A fun day of peaceful protest for all ages will be taking place in Lismore. People are asked to wear rainbow colors and bring musical instruments, whistles, streamers and balloons for a march around the town and rally. There’ll be speakers, stalls, children’s games, live music, workshops and lots more fun and climate action games. People are asked to meet in Spinks Park (behind the Transit Centre in Molesworth Street) at 12pm for a 12.30pm start to the March. Find out more at http:// bit.ly/spinksday.
Putting the road before the study: first Byron bypass funding, then EIS Hans Lovejoy
With the state government’s $10.5m funding announcement for the construction of the Byron Bay bypass last week, Byron Council have appointed consultants GHD to undertake a ‘detailed Environmental Impact Study (EIS) for Council’s preferred bypass route’. But is this consistent and responsible governance? The Echo asked NSW roads and freight minister Duncan Gay why the money was committed before an Environmental Impact Study
was undertaken, given that the EIS determines whether the bypass is viable. The minister told The Echo, ‘The NSW government has allocated $500,000 in 2014–15 to the Byron Shire Council to finalise its plans for a preferred route of the proposed bypass. ‘Byron Shire Council’s strong preference is for a major bypass from Shirley Street via Butler Street with a second rail crossing at Browning Street. ‘Does The Echo suggest the NSW government ignore and/or oppose the preferred option of the local council?
‘The whole purpose of an EIS is to gather and receive feedback from the local community about a proposed project. Some members of the community may oppose the Council’s preferred option for a major bypass. ‘As part of the EIS process, the Byron Shire Council and NSW government will assess and consider their views. ‘The NSW government has committed $10 million for the construction of an inner town bypass of Byron Bay, with funding planned to start flowing next financial year. ‘The NSW government
looks forward to working closely with the people, businesses and council of Byron Bay to help ease traffic congestion in the town centre – a problem the local community has been concerned about for two decades.’

Rally to return fishing sanctuaries A Save Our Sanctuaries action was held last Saturday morning at the Peace Pole, Main Beach in Byron Bay. It was part of a statewide push to get premier Mike Baird to reverse the decision taken last year that allows fishing in marine
parks, including line fishing from ocean beaches and headlands within sanctuary zones. Co-organiser and Byron Shire councillor, Paul Spooner, encouraged those concerned to email Mr Baird at manly@ parliament.nsw.gov.au.
Former Byron Shire mayor Jan Barham and current mayor Simon Richardson, both Greens, are at odds over whether the sale of the former Telstra site adjacent to Woolworths in Mullumbimby was a good decision. Council announced this week it sold for $517,000, just $10,000 more than it was bought for in 2008. Back then, it was promoted as a big win for the community, with then-mayor Jan Barham enthusiastically telling The Echo, ‘We are thrilled we could secure an important community asset that has such great potential’. But the community appetite for the property appeared
to evaporate after the discovery not long after the purchase that the land would need expensive remediation works before any permanent building works could take place. Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson said Council was ultimately relieved to have sold the property for a modest profit without having to fork out for expensive remediation. ‘Over the years efforts to have the land utilised failed’, he said. But Ms Barham, now an MLC, disagrees and believes the council could have borrowed money or obtained government grants to build affordable housing and community facilities on the site.

Abbott plays the fear distraction card
Volume 29 #14
September 16, 2014
Trust this government Fukushima – remember that? Perhaps the planet’s biggest nuclear contamination occurred on March 11, 2011, and large volumes of radioactive water still spew from three crippled reactors. Stopping that could take decades and it’s clearly without any short-term solution. And while mainstream media has long become tired of reporting on it, thankfully the ABC’s Mark Willacy gave Byron Shire residents an update on Sunday, at the launch of his new book: Fukushima: Japan’s tsunami and the inside story of the nuclear meltdowns. As the ABC’s Asian correspondent, he was based in Tokyo from 2008 until 2013. So why was Fukushima such a large-scale catastrophe? It turns out that if you mix powerful bureaucrats that run everything with Japanese culture you get maximum disaster effect. They bumbled their way through poor planning, mistake after gaffe and lie after denial. And to achieve all that you need a backup team – Willacy explained that Japanese media are spoonfed government press releases and if they are not reproduced verbatim, the journalist will be ostracised from the corporate-sponsored ‘press gallery’. No questions allowed. Willacy told the packed audience it is rare for the Japanese government to enquire into its own shortcomings, but there was a report commissioned into Fukushima. He read an excerpt: ‘This was a disaster made in Japan. Its fundamental causes can be found in the ingrained conventions of Japanese culture. Our reflexive obedience, our reluctance to question authority, our devotion to sticking with the program, our groupism and our insularity.’ ‘That was in the English version’, he added, ‘that excerpt didn’t appear in the Japanese version.’ Hans Lovejoy, editor

aving finally begun to recover from yet another Intensive Care Unit and, of course, from Anne Summers, I feel my recuperation has been set back by yet another tergiversation from our beloved prime minister. It appears that Tony Abbott has morphed from the Saviour of the Economy and the Protector of Borders to the Great War Leader. Well, at least the Great War Urger, eagerly waiting the go-ahead from Washington. But he has taken the position with a fervour that belies his subordinate role. Team Australia is being geed up in the manner of a desperate coach approaching the final quarter. Abbott is talking in apocalyptic terms about the enemy, and he has the videos to prove it: ISIS is indeed a horrible bunch, and should be eliminated. ‘In conscience Australia cannot leave the Iraqi people to face this horror, this pure evil, alone, or ask others to do in the name of human decency what we won’t do ourselves,’ he thundered. He makes a good argument. But the problem is that it is a little too good. A moral crusade, however passionate it may be, is not the business of a national government. This is not to say that Australia should ignore the outrages, but it is to say that any implementation has to be tempered, indeed subordinated, to the national interest. Otherwise we would have never-ending wars against everybody, in the model of George Orwell’s dystopian satire of 1984. Sure, ISIS makes a policy of beheadings – but so does Saudi Arabia. ISIS commits consistent abuses of human rights – but so does China. ISIS kills many civilians – but so does
Israel. ISIS is a culture of violence – but so is America. And of course ISIS indulges in terrorism – but so did the IRA and we did not contemplate air strikes. We cannot, and certainly should not, attempt to right all the wrongs of the world. And the most basic point is that ISIS is not some irrational death cult, pure evil to be defeated by some kind of exorcism. Its leaders may be considered mad, bad and dan-
It is not, repeat not, an excuse to deploy the armed forces to throw themselves into another adventure whose aims are uncertain, outcomes unlikely and, most importantly, end point unknown – mission impossible. Abbott, and almost equally Bill Shorten, should take two steps back, take a few deep breaths and perhaps take the ice bucket treatment before it is too late. But of course they won’t; it would be just too hard. In
Abbott and Bill Shorten should take two steps back, take a few deep breaths and perhaps take the ice bucket treatment before it is too late by Mungo MacCallum gerous to know but their essential motivation is the desire for power – hence the idea of a Caliphate. In that sense they are the lineal descendants of the empires of Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Hitler and Stalin, not to mention some less notorious imperialists. And from Australia’s perspective, they are half a world away. To suggest that they are a clear and present threat (or any conceivable foreseeable one, for that matter) is simply nonsense. But what about local terrorism, home grown or imported or (gasp) repatriated from Syria and Iraq? Well, what about it? At most we are talking a few hundred people, more likely a couple of score. The local police deal with greater numbers with a far greater likelihood of serious violence every day, and if they feel inadequate to the situation, we have an army of spooks (with more to come) already on the job.
Abbott’s case it would involve changing the habit of a lifetime; gung ho aggression has been his style from his student days. He admits that the Middle East is a witches’ brew, but is willing to plunge in head first with the eyes of newts and toes of frogs. The dwindling band of pacifists and idealists may demur, but who cares about those lefty wimps. No doubt the cynics are also right: it is a very welcome distraction from the tangled domestic scene. But Abbott can be counted at least somewhat sincere, which is about all we can hope for from today’s politicians. Shorten’s position may be more equivocal. He undoubtedly loathes ISIS as much as everyone else does, but is probably more cautious about the likely consequences of becoming involved. But why not play the bipartisan card, at least for the start; it can’t do any harm and there is no point in open-
ing another front against the government while the domestic skirmishes are proceeding pretty satisfactorily. At least, that’s what the opinion polls say, so there’s no need to switch, at least for the moment. And of course the shock jocks are carrying on with their usual mindless belligerence, so they might have well keep ranting, unless or until they start running out of steam. And these reactions encapsulate the broader approach and its political consequences – facing both leaders. Abbott, demonstrably untrustworthy and occasionally flaky and even irrational, has, according to his supporters, simply given up on affection; he is resorting to toughness, a modern version of the emperor Tiberius’s dictum, ‘let them hate me so long as they fear me.’ Shorten, calculating and sometimes devious, has taken to increasing outrage about everything from submarines to the war memorial but people do not know what he stands for or even who he is. So as a result, according to Newspoll, more than a quarter of the voters reject both. They would rather embrace the Greens, the PUPs, the fringe dwellers, the independents – anyone but the major parties. But the hard fact is that either Abbott or Shorten (or their replacements) will be our prime minister. Which may be depressing, but at least gives all concerned an opportunity. Vision, serious aims, debate and discussion are not dead. All we need is someone with the guts to get moving. And a proper, measured and reasoned discussion about just what we need do, should do and decide to do about ISIS, would be a good start.

Trafficking in bypass visions Don Page’s announcement that the NSW government is going to contribute $10.5 million towards the bypass puts a new perspective on developer donations. Early this year (Echo, January 28) Don Page was saying he would not support West Byron ‘unless the Byron bypass has been constructed’. At that time the developers said they would make voluntary contributions of $7,000 per lot under a voluntary planning agreement ‘specifically earmarked for the bypass’. So how is it that they are now paying nothing and NSW taxpayers are covering their $7.7 million ‘voluntary contribution’? Is this our donation to the West Byron developers? It is important to recognise that, if they proceed, the combination of West Byron and the Ewingsdale ‘seniors’ development and shopping centre will roughly double the current weekday volume of traffic on Ewingsdale Road. Byron Council’s 2009 traffic study found that, on a weekday, only 7–14 per cent of the traffic using Ewingsdale Road was through traffic that would use a bypass, with even less during peak periods Q
State of the roads On my recent visit with a friend who lives here, I simply couldn’t believe the state of many of the roads I used. This was my first visit back since meeting my friend in April. So, as I was weaving my way around the streets, stopping to refer to my app map, checking if I was getting closer to her home, I was simply shocked at the number of potholes I encountered. I didn’t just need to avoid the odd one here and there; I found myself literally trying to dodge so many. How can a supposedly popular holiday location leave their roads in such a poor state? I feel it certainly doesn’t make for a holidaying paradise. More importantly, how do the locals put up with this total lack of community safety? Jacinta Nelson Fortitude Valley Qld
Ugliest building Let’s hope that Mercato on Byron has some visual aesthetics in its plans for the
when traffic is worse. So no matter how much we donate to the developers, the bypass won’t solve anything if we keep on developing along Ewingsdale Road. Dailan Pugh Byron Bay

is a part of the community that wants Byron to stay ‘like it is’ and is averse to the bypass. What they really want is Byron to go back to last century and be the Happy Hippie Haven it was, just as the farmers of that time wanted to go back to pre-70s Byron and get rid of the dolebludging long-haired hippies. Face facts of ‘what Byron is’. Byron is the most easterly point in Australia so it will always be a tourist destination. Living in Ewingsdale I face constant traffic jams going into town. A similar backlog occurs from Suffolk Park to town. Home owners on the inner town routes are choking in exhaust fumes as cars idle outside their homes. Last century is long past and we can’t go back. Byron can be managed so traffic flows smoothly and parking is sufficient according to the needs of the community. We can’t allow a small minority
planner to know that Byron Council’s preferred option for a town bypass will do little or nothing to solve traffic congestion in Byron. The same tens of thousands of cars will swarm over the same little roundabout on Shirley Street at Simmons’s corner. Given the increased flows foreshadowed in the future developments proposed for Ewingsdale Road this number will increase exponentially over the coming years. Council’s preferred option is impractical, unimaginative and downright foolish. I am astounded that council has decided to ignore the ‘rail corridor option’ and has refused to question the NSW government about the future use of the rail beyond the socalled rail trail. Is there another agenda at play here? Given recent NSW government legislation on releasing Crown land, etc for private leasing, the rail corri-
area. At the moment the supermarket building must be the ugliest building in Byron. It’s an ugly brown box containing 10,000 fluorescent lights that looks like it’s had a red tiled fascia attached to it with super glue. The cinema complex presents a bland exterior that is dying for a Byron artistic group to decorate. The rest of the place is a concrete desert with cars parked on it surrounded by a village of shops bereft of any creativity whatsoever. Shame on the owners of this space. It wouldn’t take much to brighten the place up. A few trees, some art, commission a few artists to paint the walls. Are we in Byron or what? Lee Cass Byron Bay
Abbott is the elected prime minister and your comments as an editor reflect poor judgment and an underlying bias. Given the poor state of roads in Byron Bay and in Suffolk Park where I am staying, the amount of rubbish, bottles and cans and fresh graffiti in the streets, you should be diverting your attention to these rather than taking cheap shots. Civic pride around Suffolk Park is poor and both Council and residents need to do more. Phil Crichton Warwick Qld

dor land will be prime land to privatise. The people of Byron should be very careful that the rail land doesn’t end up in the hands of developers. The creative and practical solution to Byron’s traffic problem is to add an extra roundabout on Ewingsdale Road at Kendall Street. This will draw a significant proportion of the ‘incoming’ traffic off Shirley Street before it hits the Shirley Street roundabout at Simmons’s corner. A Kendall Street roundabout would allow traffic to detour down behind Byron Lane. This road would link up with the rail corridor where traffic can be carried to the southern ends of the CBD. In the years to come the bypass can be extended down to Cemetery Road, future-proofing usage. The rail corridor can be transformed into a broad, landscaped avenue where traffic, parking, bicycles and rail coexist. The avenue could become an arts precinct where, like in many vibrant towns and cities in Europe, it can be closed off on occasions to allow for all sorts of community events.

The track is closed The old Wanganui Walking Track was closed in 2008 by Byron Shire Council order owing to public neglect and safety/maintenance/public liability/vandalism/privacy issues. Contrary to rumour sparked by the recent local landcare newsletter headlines with a curiously deficient article, public access to the gorge via the Huonbrook end remains closed and past access remains in the private possession of the family who have owned and cared for this land for over a century. Trespass is a serious offence for the foremost reason that no-one likes strangers in their personal space, let alone constantly so. Empathise and act with integrity – the world would be a better place and perhaps I
netdaily.net.au could enjoy where I live after six years of continual public abuse of my home. Trespassers take note: mugshots taken, vehicle registration recorded, and fines applied along with righteous abuse. My tolerance, patience, and civility are at an end. Please don’t abuse the basic right to privacy and instead use your public right to ask NPWS for a safe and legal public access to the national park adjacent to this private land (other side of creek), thus rendering negligible two costly and floodprone bridges across Coopers Creek, enabling linkage with the access from the Repentance Creek end, and thus deleting strangers in my backyard and allowing me and my family to experience some peace and privacy. Feel free to share salient points of my proposal in your request to NPWS. Perhaps Wilsons Creek Landcare could lead a petition to NPWS and rally local support for a project from which everyone benefits. P Domaille Huonbrook
Political reality The editorial in last week’s Echo contained a factual error about the political reality in the Ballina electorate. At the 2011 state election, Labor preferences actually flowed to the Greens, making the final results 66.9 per cent for the Nationals versus 33.1 per cent for the Greens (includes 2013 redistribution figures). What that means is that the electorate of Ballina is actually a contest between the Greens and the Nationals. Let’s remember the dam-

Letters age both the old parties have done to the north coast, from removing our rail services and unleashing coal seam gas (Labor) to cutting funding to TAFE and repealing protections for Cape Byron marine sanctuary (Nationals). Revelations in the ICAC have further undermined community confidence in both Labor and the LNP. We need to move beyond a two-party system that restricts our democracy. The people of Ballina have a tremendous opportunity at the next state election in March. A choice of more of the same, or vote for Tamara Smith and the Greens’ plan for clean energy, clean water and clean politics. Graeme Williams Mulumbimby
More Spoonerisms Spoonerisms for Ballina! I like it. It has a certain quirky north coast ring about it. Thanks to the letter published in last week’s Echo I now have a whole new bunch of election slogans I can use if I get through the community preselection to be the Labor candidate for the seat of Ballina. What about the ‘Cats stand for NSG!’ or ‘The Wheenies will save the Grales’? It does put a whole new slant on political jargon and spin. Of course, if Udo Moerig had not muddled his facts he wouldn’t have been confused in the first place about a proposed move of the Byron Market. The move has been suggested by numerous stallholders ever since regular beachside artisan markets started a few years ago. Market management is Manual wash bays & vacuum bays Open 24/7

A farewell crisis
I wonder where some people come from. Obviously a very sheltered and narrow lockedup environment. On Monday I was walking with Frida, my daughter’s dog, on the oval in Bangalow. There I saw two officers who I think were from the National Parks. Anyhow, they had uniforms on. They asked me if I had been swooped by a magpie to which my answer was no. When asked why, they said there had been a complaint from someone who had been swooped. I asked what action had been requested and they said they were to shoot it. I could not believe my ears and so I made my opinions fairly clear about what I thought of that idea. They, to their credit, were obviously most reluc-
tant to have to resort to that conclusion. I am most happy to report, however, that I have just returned from the oval and both Frida and myself were swooped several times with much clacking of beak and the nest was still intact. After having made its point, the magpie landed about ten feet from us and started digging for worms. I am sure that even the people who complained would put up some sort of resistance if they felt their young were threatened. They talk about relocating nuisance animals but when can we start relocating nuisance people like th0se precious souls? Brian Warrick Bangalow
formalising that discussion through open dialogue and a stallholder vote. Any application to the council for a move of the community market is to be resolved by a democratic vote of all permanent stallholders. It’s the council that will determine the location. It’s the council that will assess the viability
of such a move. This would, of course, include a full assessment of any potential environmental impacts. To suggest that I, or stallholders involved, do not have the best interests of the markets, the town or the environment clearly in our minds during this discussion is just plain wrong.
I agree without reservation with Chris McAllister’s and Sapoty Brook’s views on the crisis facing our planet (Letters, September 9). However, the fact is that the world at large is not listening. The readership of The Echo is a mere blip! ‘The end of the world is nigh’, while close to the truth, is a cartoonist’s cliche. It is going to take an irrefutable catastrophe on a global scale before people sit up and take notice, plus for the Murdochs (add your own here) of this world to be adversely affected. Fortunately or unfortunately I won’t be around to experience the lights being switched off finally but my children and their kids will and for this I apologise for the weak governance of our planet.

North Coast news daily: continued from page 13 social and environmental resources of future generations. This is not some giant conspiracy of tens of thousands of scientists uncovered by a plucky band of billionaires. This is a serious threat to our community. If we burn more than a third of the known fossil fuel reserves we will push beyond â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dangerousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; into â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;catastrophicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; climate change. The fossil fuel industry is using every trick it can think of to delay action on climate change. It has to rip as much out of the ground as possible before a meaningful global deal on climate is reached. Their tactics include buying whole political parties; well, their policies at least. The federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attacks on climate science, on renewable energy and their economic strategy of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coal at all costsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leave no doubt where their allegiances lie. The state government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide it either. Local candidates can moan that they â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;have concernsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; about CSG, but there is no way the
Liberals or Nationals will shut it down. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too addicted to the Party donations it brings. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking about climate change since studying environmental economics at university in the 1980s, but the situation is becoming more urgent. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m standing for Labor preselection because I actually want to do something about it. Have your say on Saturday September 20.

Protect our pines
Why are the iconic Norfolk Pines in Byron Bay of more worth than those in Brunswick Heads? Lining the foreshores of the Brunswick River, surely these pine tress have the same iconic status to the character of Brunswick Heads as they have to Byron Bay, as argued so eloquently by Peter Gray, (Echo, September 9). Not according to our
Dodgy stickers Our EMR awareness group had an information stall at the recent Living Community Festival. We were surprised to find many visitors had attached to their mobile phone a hologram sticker, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;orgoniteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wafer, or the like. They were told it would mitigate the adverse health effects of microwaves. As an electronics engineer, I would like to advise this is not the case. Instead, such â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;New Ageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; products create a false sense of protection that may encourage users to ignore scientifically based methods to reduce exposure. These include holding the phone away from the head, SMS texting, and limiting duration of calls, particularly
when reception is weak. Additional suggestions may be read here: www.mullumwifi.com/emr_precautions.pdf. Peter Nielsen Byron Bay

The Devils fall at last hurdle in bruising grand final John Campbell
Trailing 17–6 at the break, Byron’s Red Devils stuck doggedly to the task and kept the Ballina Seagulls scoreless in the second half of Sunday’s NRRRL grand final at Kingsford Smith Park. The only trouble was the Seagulls did the same to them. Byron had earned its spot in the season’s decider the hard way, winning three elimination play-offs. In the championship bout, it wasn’t lack of heart that beat them, it was poor execution at crucial moments and, if we are to be perfectly honest, it was an opponent that was simply too good on the day. Byron kicked off in summery conditions and were all over Ballina in the opening exchanges, fiercely going into tackles mob-handed and forcing errors from the reigning premiers. Winger Bill King skirted the sideline and with beautiful hands gathered a chip and crossed in the corner. William Gold-
smith’s conversion took a coat of paint off the black dot as it dropped like a stone over the right side of the crossbar and the Devils were away to a flyer. If the boys thought that the footy gods were smiling on them, they were soon made to think again. Ballina’s livewire full-back, Brett Kelly, regathered his own kick and made an electric in-and-out dash through a scrambled defence before setting up centre Clarence Kelly for the equaliser. The Seagulls then took the lead when opting to take a shot at goal after the first of an avalanche of penalties that came their way. From that moment, the Devils were behind the eightball. It seemed as though the ref was finding fault with everything they did and, to make matters worse, the home side was playing a mean, strangling game, allowing the visitors no room to move. When in possession – of which they had a glut – Bal-

lina’s changes of direction and wide passing were constantly finding the extra man. The Bay made a rare sortie, with King again haring for the line after great work from pugnacious second-rower Cale Rowston, who didn’t let up throughout, but Byron were always on the back foot, counter-punching rather
than setting the agenda. Enjoying a landslide of possession and position, it was inevitable that the Seagulls would get another try. They did when winger Liam Anderson was delivered a saloon passage to the line. Their shrewd and influential five-eighth Andrew Battese rubbed salt into Byron’s
wounds with a field-goal that didn’t so much put Ballina out of reach as suggest that they had everything under control. The eleven-point deficit at half-time was discouraging, but it could have been worse. Byron had been outplayed and, if anything, Ballina’s conservative approach in
converting penalties instead of forcing the issue might have come back to bite them. With a mountain to climb, the Devils’ effort in the second forty did the club proud. Peter Flannery went ever so close when he chased a Bill King chip, but it was an afternoon on which the boys ultimately became their own worst enemy. They took too many panicky last tackle options, they spilt the pill just as a light was appearing at the end of the tunnel and, most frustrating of all, they lost a scrum with the feed in Ballina’s twenty. As the shadows lengthened, it became painfully apparent that Byron’s mighty tilt at the title would end in tears. There is no shame in losing when your effort is honest, when you refuse to give up, when you fight to the last minute. Ballina are worthy champions, but the Devils didn’t let anybody down. Well played, boys, and thanks for a great season.
Byron Rams do it again Geckos to meet Tossers in Shand Grand Final Dogwhistle
Damon Bell’s Park Hotel Byron Bay Rams have, for the second year running, battled their way into the grand finals of both the Premier and Premier Reserves Divisions. In a week of powerful and entertaining football the Premier Rams confirmed their dominance of the division and secured their Grand Final spot with a thumping 4–1 win over second-placed Richmond Rovers at the Rec Grounds on Tuesday night. After finishing fifth in the pointscore competition, the Rams Reserves had to beat the fourth-, third- and second-placed squads (three games in nine days!) to make it to their Grand Final. The Reserves have had a mixed season, with a run of six draws seeing a quality side struggle to reach the finals.
Having made the cut, however, the Ressies have hit their straps and, in some spectacular performances, have fought their way through. Saturday September 5 saw the second-string Rams take a convincing 3–0 win over 4th-placed Lismore Thistles and, the following Wednesday night, completely dominate their semi against Alstonville to come away with a 1–0 win. On Saturday the 14th, the Rams travelled to a very hot Lismore to take on secondplaced Lismore Workers. Byron seemed to have the edge over a tough and determined Workers but, as the contest swung from end to end, neither squad managed to find the net. After ninety gruelling minutes, the match was locked at 0–0. Twenty minutes of extra time failed to break the impasse and the match went to
Homegrown and organic as a fresh chicken turd, it is the sporting event that doesn’t just stop the Shire, but abducts it and ties it up in the basement. Sunday’s second semifinal of the Nick Shand Memorial Cricket Series pitted the devotees of Saint Seymour, the Geckos, against the salty shark-dodging surf dudes of Suffolk, the Swingers. Lomath Oval sparkled with spring sunshine as
Geckos chief whip James called correctly and invited the Swingers to bat. Hughsey and Barney saw off James’s early charge and threatened to burst open like Clive Palmer’s shirt buttons until Hughsey carved one into Stewie’s safe hands at deep mid-off. This sparked some selfbelief in St Seymour’s flock and wickets fell to the game Luca (2–14) and miserly veteran Brian (1–2). Either side of the drinks break it was all Geckos; St
a penalty shoot-out. The winning goal was slotted home by defender Theo Pavil to take the Rams through to a hard-won Grand Final spot. With the Premier Rovers having won their secondchance semi against Workers, the season final will be Byron Bay versus Richmond Rovers
in both divisions. The grand finals will be played at Oakes Oval in Lismore next Saturday September 20. The Reserves kick off at 4.15 and the Premier League at 7pm. Q To see more of this story visit Echonetdaily – www.echo.net.au/?p=110855.

fearless lobbing leg spin as the Swingers eviscerated the top order. Kiwi stayer Greg-O (30 n/o) and James (40 n/o) started the repair job on the innings but their retirements left Dave and Adeha with plenty left to do. The industrious Dave ran between wickets like a madman, the world’s oldest teenager Adeha somehow kept up with him, both reaching 30 to get the Geckos within 12 of the total with three overs left. Levi (1–9) bagged a scalp and then controversially the Geckos lower order charged over the cliff ’s edge like lemmings in a series of run-outs, a desperate ploy to get retirees James and Greg-O back at the crease. James was up to the task, biffing the Geckos to 181 at the close and a spot in next week’s grand final against the in-form Byron Full-Tossers.

Seymour could do no wrong with career best figures of 1–6 and John, sporting his neat grey coif and goatee, had season high scorer for the Swingers’, Owen, back in the shed for 14 with a mysterious urge to eat fried chicken. The Geckos were going through the Swingers like tax auditors. The game changers were Heath (33 n/o), Luke (35 n/o) and Wortho who had smoke coming off the nib of the scorer’s pen, pulverising 90 runs off the last seven overs, the Geckos’ bowling shoved into a canvas hood and held under the water tap. Set a target of 175, the Geckos started calamitously as stalwart Simon ran himself out for a platinum duck, then Heath (1–12) dismissed season high scorer Christian for a matching pair of zeros.

While utilising this valuable resource, practitioner Barry Donnelly BHSc CM ND WHM N is achieving exceptional results, for example: ‘Mick’ (a lifelong sufferer) presented at the Good Skin Clinic with eczema. On his first visit to the clinic, Mick’s skin was extremely itchy, red and inflamed. Scratch marks were present on his legs, arms and over most of his body. The condition was also causing him many sleepless nights. Mr Donnelly found a number of foodrelated triggers and reactions to different materials such as some found in his bedding and clothing. The initial improvements in Mick’s skin were seen within a week of starting treatment. By six weeks he was back to sleeping seven hours a night and his skin was increasingly clear. The Good Skin Clinic protocols for eczema and other skin conditions including psoriasis, pigmentation, acne, psoriatic arthritis, rosacea, ichthyosis, nail / fungal infections and pruritus (itching) are only available from the Good Skin Clinic.

Six degrees of separation Matthew Michaelis I’ve a vault of happy memories filled with family trips on cold wintry weekends and hot summer holidays off to the Blue Mountains near Sydney. My parents would pack us up and away we’d go. It took us around an hour and a half to get there. I was always a little green around the gills, what with all the winding up the steep mountain highway, though once there it was the closest thing to a cold European winter you could get. Open fireplaces and warming Art Deco cafes serving Devonshire teas. I was truly amazed when I discovered a few years back that Queensland had its own version of this favourite childhood overnighter of mine – Mount Tamborine. A steep winding road and views to die for; this is the Blue Mountains on a roundabout. At this point, I’ll apologise in advance. Not for my quirky writing style (laughs nervously), no, but for any omissions. If you’ve visited there yourself, you’ll know that there are a plethora of attractions here, least of all the cellar-door wine tastings and wineries. There’s accommodation on every square inch of land, a Main Street that resembles a theme park filled with eateries and cafes, a distillery full of personality, a cheesemaker situated in a brewery, some fine and lovely restaurants and even a coffee plantation. The other thing you’ll find up here (apart from unusual people en masse) is a cooler climate. I’ve been told that the temperature on the Mountain ranges down to six degrees less than the lower-
lying lands and valleys below the border. It’s a lovely alternative weekend staycation with only a short one-hour-and-30-minute drive from the Byron Shire. Stay overnight at Jupiters Casino to play some grown-up games or barrel straight up the freeway.
As much action as you may want in Mt Tamborine.
Head to the hills Cedar Creek Lodges is a rainforest property on Tamborine Mountain in the Gold Coast hinterland and it’s a stunner. If tranquillity is your thing then a stroll through the 112 hectares of pristine natural bushland will be filled with peaceful reflection.

If you have kids (or not) glow-worms are waiting to light the way to some different entertainment. Situated inside the extensive grounds of the Cedar Creek Estate Winery, the Glow Worm Caves consist of two man-made chambers linked by tunnels. They look real enough with water features, realistic stalagmites and stalactites (the ’mites go up and the ’tites come down). The thousands of luminous glow-worms will meet you every day from 10am till 4pm. Enquiries on 07 5545 1666. If you’re into hot air and an inflated sense of happiness, then hot-air balloon rides would suit you. Spend the morning floating over Mt Tamborine, Lamington National Park and the Scenic Rim. When you’re done, a hot breakfast with champagne will be waiting at O’Reilly’s Grand Homestead, followed by a wine tasting. Enquiries on 1300 766 887.

There are witches in the hills Matthew Michaelis
On enquiring where I should stay, within minutes I was directed to a little cornered property across from the Tamborine Mountains National Park and Witches Falls: The Witches Falls Cottages. Enchanted, no, enchanting comfortable and personable, yes. These sandstone cottages are operated by a couple that enjoy being looked after; I assume this because from the moment I arrived to check in I was taken care of. Walked to the cottage, I was given a rundown on all aspects of the room and services, even an instructional on local facilities to visit and experience. ‘FYI, the Tamborine National Park is the third oldest in the world after Yellowstone and the National Park South of Sutherland in Sydney’, was just part of the information freely flowing from cottage owner David Kennedy – mein host. A combustion log fire sits on the lower floor of this split-
level cottage. New fittings and a beautifully renovated bathroom with oversized spa bath for party-sized bubbles. There’s a private patio complete with a small stainless barbecue, which provides the heat for your inclusive clever barbecue breakfast if you should choose it (I did). Freshly laid eggs come direct from their chooks, swollen German sausages, tomato, capsicum, mushrooms and a generous fresh baked loaf of good bread. On arrival there are small thoughtful inclusions everywhere, chocolates and a decanter of fortified wine sit invitingly while you stoke the fire. I should imagine that Mount Tamborine would be a pleasant summer stay too as I’ve been told the temperature rarely gets above 30°C and the mean average temperature is 25°C during the summer months. This isn’t a five-star hotel, it’s more than that; it’s a manifestation of David and Daniela Kennedy’s dreams
come true, an invitation thoughtfully extended to their guests. Forget the Grimm’s fairy tales, you’ll be charmed by these Witches in the Hills. Q Witches

EDEN RESTAURANT Sample the Seasons
Wild Ferment Cabernet Franc 2013 Witches Falls Winery is a James Halliday five-star winery (2014) and one I visited on a fleeting overnight stay in Mt Tamborine recently. Here the wines are made with minimal intervention using the indigenous yeast present on the grape skins. The wines are barrel fermented, giving added complexity and structure. They bottle here from their own grapes, and in this case the wild ferment chardonnay I tasted was grown near Ballandean in the Granite Belt. The Granite Belt sits on the Great Dividing Range 850m above sea level and 95km inland from the coast. The winters are cold and frosty and the summers produce a continental climate perfect for the stuff of grapes. The 2011 and 2012 vintages of this same wine both contributed
to Witches Falls Winery being awarded their 5-star rating for the past two years running. 2011 Wild Ferment Chardonnay gained 94 points from James Halliday, and the 2012 Wild Ferment Chardonnay gained 93 points. ‘We see the 2013 being just as successful; however, it hasn’t as yet been submitted for review,’ Tanya Robertson from the winery told me. If you appreciate a good chardy, then this is an exceptional one to try. I was suitably impressed by this shining example of the craft of Witches Falls – well worth its $32 price tag.
REAL FOOD - FINE WINE - FUNCTIONS
The winemaker’s tasting notes always provide sexy reading so here’s their take on this $32 Chardonnay: Honeydew melon, citrus and vanilla aromas combine to deliver a compelling nose. The palate is beautifully balanced with white peach and citrus supported by toasty oak. Crisp acidity provides length and persistence.

Responsible service in the garden of Eden Matthew Michaelis We’d travelled up from God’s country in Byron Shire to Mt Tamborine, another of God’s lands. Speaking of God, we were here to check-out the new restaurant fittingly named Eden. This well-located property is part of the revamped awardwinning winery and cellar door to Mason’s Wines in North Tamborine and our first stop after an hour-and-a-half drive. The family was in tow and luckily we’d included a souped-up wooden tricycle for a pent-up two-yearold. And off he flew. The grounds
here are sizable and quite attractive. The new restaurant, overlooking a lush green valley, is framed by a well-kept lawn with large and solid wooden outdoor tables. The restaurant is also the front of house for the winery and the first port of call for a keen wine taster like myself. My wife, heavily pregnant, was trying in vain to bring to heel the toddler who was speeding full circle around the carpark through the lanes and grassy knolls on his hot rod. Of course, taking my job seriously, I required a wine tasting. I knew I had limited time though.

Sarala, our up-front host on the day, was ducking and weaving while serving tables, and apparently she was all alone but nevertheless doing a fine job without help. She arrived, heaved a sigh and asked my pleasure in tasting. This was a young woman with presence and a good knowledge of the liquid assigned her. She recommended, poured, I drank, swilled and spat; she poured, I slurped swilled and spat again. As this was going on, meals were at the ready, she’d run the food out to tables and return within minutes. Without pausing, she introduced me to a new wine, and again I slurped swilled and spat. A new table of four arrived unexpectedly; her composure held tight as she sat them with menus and raced back. With my new wines lined up and ready for me to taste and more thirsty punters joining the wine-tasting queue, I suggested to Sarala that she might let me pour my own while she attended the ever-mounting service requirements. Her answer was swift, commanding and final; ‘I am sorry, but I cannot let you do that, we are directed here by the Responsible Service Of Alcohol laws’ and off she flew to deliver another meal. The only thing missing with our host’s frenetic service style was a moment to relax with her and enjoy some banter. I steadied my hand, slurped and spat the last drop of wine and began my overdue fatherly duties. We sat outside and Sarala came to our table as if we hadn’t already met. ‘So, at Eden you can expect more than one person’, she went on to explain that they hadn’t had cause for more than herself until this very day. And everyone who’s run an eatery will agree, it’s that wretched Murphy and his law that’s to blame. We ordered a platter of seafood and charcuterie. It came on stilts, an impressive scaffold sitting high off the table with a good wooden plat-

ter. This was a two-person affair and came with plenty to eat. King prawns sitting lightly crumbed in a first-class pool of spiced and herbed tomato reduction. A well-flavoured gravlax and a house-made salmon parfait served in a small jar was perfection with ample bread and lavosh to spread its joy. Oysters Kilpatrick, all completed with wedges of potato and a young Mason’s sav blanc. A local fresh-cut rhubarb (from
a stall we had passed) was dessert. Stewed, glassed and topped with a crumble lid and garnish of mint and petals. The lunch menu here features a selection of tapas-style ‘light bites and nibbles’, ‘mezze platters’ as well as ‘superfood salad’ options. Also on offer are ‘open sandwiches’. A small but wellthought-out menu for a cellar door. A view of the garden, not a snake in sight and the only
temptations were sitting on our table. This Eden presents food and wine as God intended. The creators: Dylan Gittoes, the chef and Sarala Sharma, his multi-tasking Eve. Q Eden’s

Bolo Ma – bowled over by choice Matthew Michaelis These days you can find some fabulous eateries inside your local clubs, but the Byron Bay Bowling Club has reached a new level after farming out their restaurant area to consummate ex-Melbourne foodie professional David Piesse. Prices are not high, but quality is. The restaurant area has undergone an elegant renovation, patiently completed by David and his business partner Andrew Stoner. Rebuild the kitchen – check; replace the flooring – check; subtle and tasteful lighting – check; refined refurbishing and decor
– check. Four months down the track and everything is looking very impressive indeed. ‘I like Japanese and Italian cooking very much, so I looked for a talented Japanese chef and an equally talented Italian chef. I found both in Tomosan from Osaka and Tiziano from Ravenna, Italy,’ David Piesse told me. David, originally from Melbourne, has been running restaurants for more than twenty years. Three restaurants he owned: Shakahari in Lygon Street; Nataraj in Hawthorne; and Mon Bar and
Bistro (a fusion concept also located in Hawthorne) were all in the Good Food Guide throughout his time with them. ‘We were listed for various things including value for money, atmosphere and combining cultures and cuisine,’ David told me, adding that he ‘moved to Mullumbimby six years ago for the free and creative nature of the community’. Now, his free and creative nature can be found within his new res-

BYRON GETS
BUTCH FINDING YOUR VOICE After nearly 20 years with FourPlay string quartet rock band, Lara Goodridge knows how to keep an edge. ‘It requires constant re-invention!’ she says. ‘At the moment I am really busy – I am in three bands. I was just in Byron touring with Miriam Lieberman – I play with Abby Dobson in Baby et Lulu – and of course there’s FourPlay!’ So how does a busy mother of one manage to keep pushing that creative edge? ‘I just step into each one as they come up. I think the hardest thing sometimes is the timing, because FourPlay is putting out an album in October – that is printed and pressed and ready to go – and Baby et Lulu is going to record in October, so we have a new album out next March! ‘The new album was recorded and produced in Sydney with Tony Buchen. He is working internationally nowadays – he is a great producer with whom we have great simpatico. He recorded the Baby et Lulu album and will do the next one. The FourPlay album we have just done (The Machine) is the first 100 per cent original album we have done.’ Originally the band focused on creating unique covers with the odd original. Now there’s a lot of odd originals! Having just returned from playing Carnegie Hall, Lara believes that FourPlay is on a good roll. ‘We are happy with this album. ‘It’s nearly 20 years now. I guess the thing is that we are not someone trying to be charting and it’s not about how old you are when you listen or
whom we are catering for, and not specific, and we try to re-invent ourselves and try to develop.’ FourPlay rely on each other’s creative simpatico. ‘We like to jam together and this is how we developed this album by jamming. All our albums have covered a wide range of genres and we all love to listen to such different things. When we are putting a set or album together, we aren’t as calculating as we want one rock, one pop, but we lean towards doing a jazz feel, then we’ll go let’s do a ballad and we start to explore those parameters and keep working on those until we get a song happening.’ While FourPlay continues to go great guns, it seems Baby et Lulu can’t put a foot wrong either. ‘This is our first Mullum Music Festival and we are really looking forward to it. Festivals are great for punters and musicians because musicians get to see each other and hang out. Things have been going so well for Abby and me. Every time we play in Sydney we sell out, which is so awesome, and it’s with so little effort that it means it has a life of its own. We play every six weeks or so at Camelot and it’s so great to have repeat offenders along with new people each time!’ Lara Goodridge and Abby Dobson have come on board as part of the Mullum Music Festival’s Youth Mentorship Program.

With more than 100 releases in five years, as a producer German-born Butch cuts his own path across dancefloors and decks around the world.
He features at Essential Intentions Open Air Party at the Byron Brewery alongside GC Stretch on Saturday. 2pm start time. $20. How would you describe your style? Honestly, I still don’t really know, after all these years of making music. I love all styles, broken beat, techno, hypnotic and trippy styles as well as melodic and musically versatile house. I simply make the music I love and feel, so I guess I have to say that doing what I love is my style! How important is it to establish a unique sound… or is sound always somehow derivative somewhere? I guess everyone should have their own handwriting, but there’s no point writing in a language no-one understands. If you go to a good school, one with its own style, you will learn a certain way to spell and when you master that you can outgrow that and find your own way of doing things. It is important to develop your own sound, but also not bind yourself to it until it becomes your mental prison. What are your favourite musical reference points? There are so many artists whose art inspired me; obviously I can’t name them all. A few that stand out have to be Emmanuel Topp, Aphex Twin, Wu-Tang Clan and Onyx. The energy that comes across, as well as their own unique approaches, always fascinate me. Tell me about the shows overseas in Tokyo, London and New York? Oh man, Tokyo is amazing. The Japanese are the friendliest and most polite people I can imagine. I love their enthusiasm; they have a
scene for every imaginable human pastime you can think of. They simply love music there and that really shows. London is great, I have a blast there every time; it really is an interesting place with its very own flair. Going to New York is always special, simply because growing up New York always was this utopia to me, where the b-boys and graffiti artists initiated so much culture. Even though those days are long gone, New York still breathes music on every corner. How do you keep yourself current as a producer? I have a very simple strategy: I go to the studio every day of the week for a minimum of eight hours. I make music every day I’m not travelling to gigs. That routine enables me to produce a lot of output. Luckily, I do what I love and many people seem to love it too, so I’m blessed for sure! What are you listening to at the moment? Oh, I’m listening to the Otherside album, which I have just completed with Hohberg. Right now I’m listening to the track Ecstasy, which always gets me in a good state of mind, ha-ha. What advice would you give up-and-coming producers trying to make it in the club scene? If it is your dream to make music and live off that you need to work persistently. Sure, there are always some stories about artists who break through with their very first song. These are only top news stories because it is so rare. They are far from the norm. I worked on producing music for more than 10 years before I had my first release. If making music is your calling, be patient with yourself, stay at it and work hard. What should we expect for your Byron show? Let’s agree upon getting together with beautiful people who have an open mind, a loving soul and feet willing to dance. Butch is part of the Essential Intentions Open Air Party at the Byron Brewery on Saturday.

TERROR AUSTRALIS
Just the other day our esteemed leader made his way out to the grassy knoll of Canberraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parliament House and gave the arrow on the TERROR ALERT DIAL a nudge from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Possibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I am imagining that Tone has had the elves in the ASIO woodwork shop knock up a dial, AKA the FIRE DIAL, complete with quadrants that neatly define our risk. I think the first quadrant would have to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Impossible: Terrorists had too many bongs and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fucked attacking todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; then of course we have â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;improbable: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too fricking hot, no terrorist in their right mind is going to strap a bomb to themselves in this weather, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sweat the thing right off â&#x20AC;&#x2122;; to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maybe/Maybe not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Terrorists with PMS feeling emotional and indecisiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; then of course we hit â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Possible: Terrorists still non-committal but feeling more confident about their terror profile.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit like a terrorist report card, with our previous terrorists being seen as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not living up to their potentialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Well, wacky, foo, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hit the jackpot. Now we are saying that terrorists have pulled their finger out and have cracked a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suddenly â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like anything has actually happened. Queensland lost State of Origin but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you could call that an act of Terror. We are subjected to Delta Goodrem on a regular basis, and while thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annoying, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elevate the terror risk. As far as I can tell no one in Australia has been threatened, blown
Although the clever people at the top are saying our involvement in military action overseas combating ISIS has nothing to do with it. Hmm. Well if that has nothing to do with it, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had no actual acts of terror committed in our homeland, then why has Tone turned up the heat on the Terror threat? Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you do when you are in power? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alpha male version of Dad Gets To Hold The Remote. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in charge, I guess he can flick that pointer onto what ever he feels like. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Extremeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? And what about the most frightening quadrant of all: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Catastrophicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. In fact when Tone pushes the needle to this one, the entire sign will blow up because as it turns out the sign was a bomb! That would be pretty ingenious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to make a terror alert sign the actual bomb. No-one would even think of looking there, not even Liam Neeson and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome at sniffing out subterfuge and random acts of political terror. As I was driving in my car listening to the news about our terror alert upgrade, I got a sudden rush of fear. Shit, 30 seconds ago everything was fine, but now I am living in a situation where a terror threat is high. What am I supposed to do? How do I, a mother of five, a regular Australian citizen, start operating with this new elevated level of risk? Suddenly everywhere I look is full of potential danger. Every person is a potential threat. I took on Mr Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message; I am taking the terror warning seriously. Yesterday I
had to evacuate the house because I found an abandoned sports bag at the front door. Sure, it looks like Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school bag, but what if it had been fitted with some sort of incendiary device in his school locker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by a rogue Catholic whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d secretly signed up for the Jihad? The Terror alert is high. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust anyone. Everyone is under suspicion. Even your family. Actually, especially your family. In fact, I believe true terror starts at home. That kitchen bin fills me with terror on a daily basis. Every time my foot hits the pedal and the lid flaps up I wonder what fresh horror awaits? Cat food spilling from its packet? A rotting pumpkin? Maggots? Rubbish will be squashed down, stuffed in, jam-packed into the bulging receptacle. I have to defuse it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tense. The clock is ticking down. I try and prise the edges of the bag from its holder, but it splits. The bag explodes all over the floor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m left on my hands and knees picking up hair, baked beans, tissues and soggy Weet-Bix, crying. Small acts of everyday Terror, breaking our spirit, one bin bag at a time. Yes, people, the terror alert is high. Be Alert. Be Alarmed. Trust no-one. Not even yourself. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time they had a Social Anxiety meter as well, because I reckon the meter on that has pretty well been flicked up as well. Time to go buy up stocks in Xanax. And who defines what an act of terror is anyway? I would have thought destroying one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven natural wonders with a coal port would be a pretty major act of terrorismâ&#x20AC;Ś oh I get it; Tony did it. He turned up the dial. He said Yes to mining the Great Barrier Reef. He is the architect of our ensuing environmental armageddon. The greatest threat to Australian security is not some bearded Lone Wolf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tony Abbott!

The music of James Bennett is best described as folk/pop with a diversity of influences such as Bob Dylan, John Butler and Angus Stone. Although James delivers a repertoire of popular covers, his real strength and appeal is in his original songs. James already has a considerable catalogue of well-crafted compositions he is currently entertaining audiences with on the mid north coast of NSW. With residencies at two popular music venues in Port Macquarie and countless other gigs on the coast, James has become a much sought-after performer and proven crowd favourite. Friday at The Brewery. 8pm. Free.

With so much experience managing her career, Lara has a lot to offer to young and aspiring vocalists. ‘It took me years to really find my own voice and my own place. When I think back to twenty years ago to how I feel about it now I remember that it was very scary. You have to do it for love and you have to be able to do everything: social media, website updates, personal management. Gone are the days when you had someone doing it for you. You need people skills, you need to turn up on time, you need to be professional, and you need to treat your talent with respect. ‘I would say play as much as you can, play as many gigs as you can! ‘I have spent many years being insecure about myself and what I have to offer, but what I have come to realise when people ask me to play with them is it’s because they want me and what I bring. I am not just a session violinist – I realise now that every musician brings their personality and flavour, and that’s what you should develop, because that’s what people want.’ Resilience is one of the key attributes any musician needs to survive the long haul. ‘Being a musician takes a lot of risk. It is very hard for any artist to believe in themselves and, if you get knocked back, you have to find a way to take that on; you have to love what you do, and take rejection with grace. You are not always the right person for a gig. It’s about forging your own path; you have to keep looking for ways to do things.’ Lara Goodridge plays with FourPlay and Baby et Lulu at Mullum Music Festival this year. Youth Mentorships are now open for application in vocal, band, singer/ songwriter and under-15 sections. Mentor for band is Declan Kelly, for singer/songwriter it is Ash Bell, and under-15s will enjoy the wisdom of Sal Kimber.
THE PILOTS
THE PILOTS LAUNCH THEIR DEBUT EP AT THE BEACH HOTEL ON FRIDAY WITH AYLA AND SKEGSS
Dreamed up under the shade of Byron Bay’s pandanus trees, the Pilots are the newest prospects to emerge from the beating tropical heart of Byron Bay. Formed in early 2013 by good friends Kit Bray, Byron Carney and Harry Deacon, they are a three-piece band that makes the kind of ceremoniously uplifting, indie surf rock that sounds like something for which you’ve inadvertently been searching but never dreamed that you could find. The Pilots recorded their debut self-titled 4-track EP with the assistance of acclaimed US producer Nick Didia (Pearl Jam, Powderfinger, Rage Against The Machine). In an anthemic ode to young love and the glory of summer romance, the Pilots’ debut EP is available now for all and sundry to experience. Put it on when the sun shines next and enjoy a lifeaffirming skip into all that glitters from these young upstarts. The Pilots launch their EP at the Beach Hotel on Friday.

You’ll hear the wry observations of Guy Kachel, Jimmy Dowling’s clever distillation of moments in time and Kim Banffy’s beautiful use of metaphor and melody. Add to this Milo Green’s quirky and deceptively simple songs, Tim Stokes’s haunting ballads and groovebased country/roots/dance, vibes and Kyle Lionhart’s show-stoppingly beautiful lyrics and angelic vocal tones, and you have the makings of an awesome night!
Winners get a rehearsal/mentorship with their category professional, a ticket to the festival and a backstage pass to their mentor’s gig, as well as a 20-minute spot at the festival. Also, all entries are eligible to be chosen as directors picks and selected to perform a song during the festival.

SPRING INTO CIRCUS ARTS Celebrate the start of the school holidays and the beauty of spring at the Circus Arts Byron Bay Showcase on Friday. The Spring Circus Cabaret will be hosted by the effervescent Shorty Brown and will showcase Circus Arts’ top students performing their signature acts including contortion and trapeze along with group aerial silks and lyra acts.
OF HENRY V One-time Byron High School student Gabriel Fancourt returns to the region as part of the Bell Shakespeare Company’s production of Henry V. Gabriel is a NIDA graduate and this is his first production for the highly esteemed Bell Shakespeare. While a first for Fancourt, this is also a first for director Damien Ryan, making his debut on the main stage. Prior to this Ryan’s productions have been outdoor Shakespearean productions. Ryan’s contemporary take on this classic tale of a king who unites a kingdom with his eloquent words is inspired by a true story. According to Gabriel: ‘During the London Blitz a group of school children were under the ground – it was a Boys’ Brigade that got stuck for 57 days – and to amuse each other they put on plays and started a boys’ club. This creates a unique challenge for actors who must play characters playing characters! ‘Everyone except for the guy playing Henry changes characters. Someone will read out what scene, and then they’ll grab whatever they need; the show has that thrown-together feel.’ The base characters underpin the spontaneity and the excitement of the production. ‘Before we staged the play we discussed the themes – we had long conversations about our base characters. My character is a young kid; another is a bully, another a sports guy; and then as you watch the scene unfold you get a sense of who they are in the play without their actually giving that much away about themselves verbally. The script we use is Henry V. Fancourt believes that the play maintains its contemporary relevance because of a modern insight about the futility of war. ‘I think the great strength of this production is that people in hard times find inspiration in telling stories about heroes.
‘This is a production about fear, camaraderie. Ultimately what the play is talking about is the futility of war. It’s really the young people and the people at home who pay the great cost. Henry V becomes the king of France but then dies, and they lose France, and so in the end it’s all for nothing. Even winning means nothing. ‘We are a society that is so tired of war. In the time Shakespeare wrote Henry V there were five or six other versions of the story told by other playwrights. This is the only play that has survived. Shakespeare had that ability to tell stories and communicate the heart of what was going on in an immediate manner. Henry was regarded as a hero king but Shakespeare also allows us to criticise. I think the reason this play lasted was because he didn’t give us something proor anti-war, this play is like a conversation about war.’ This has been a dynamic and exciting first production for Fancourt. ‘It was a unique way to work because the concept relies heavily on what the kids had in the room. From day one we had piles of books and cricket bats and chairs and papers and we’d chat about it and then we’d go, ‘this is a siege scene that needs a castle… how do we make a castle with what we have here?’ Then we’d put the chairs on top of the bookcase and we had a castle. We use our staging as improvisational staging for Henry V. Proving to be a hit with school groups, this energetic and boundless performance of a band of brothers presenting Henry V is a fresh, new interpretation of the classic you shouldn’t miss.’ Norpa presents the Bell Shakespeare Company’s Henry V at Lismore City Hall on Friday at 11am and 7.30pm and Saturday at 7.30pm.
Special guests Epic Cheer will perform a cheerleading routine not to be missed and the grand finale flying trapeze show is guaranteed to end the night on a high! 7pm, Friday at the Byron Entertainment Centre. Cafe, bar and sausage sizzle from 6.30pm. Raffle prizes to be won. $5 trapeze swings after the show! $5 adults, $3 kids, under-3 Free. Tickets on the door.

Stars As Mars leaves its deep-winter detox in Scorpio for the free-ranging, freedom-loving spring landscape of Sagittarius, personal tensions lessen and optimism’s on the rise…
ARIES: Aries mythologist Joseph E regarded apocalypse as a Campbell
CANCER: When western mental H health specialists took Rwandan
LIBRA: Contradictory emotions are K likely to be operating this week,
CAPRICORN: This deliciously physical N transit rewards your Capricornian
bonfire of personal vanities and complacency. Mars charging into fiery, full-forward Sagittarius breaks you through a holding pattern of soul-searching into a vivid new cycle of exploration with anything’s-possible Uranus in Aries at your back…
genocide survivors into dingy little rooms to discuss their traumatic history rather than letting them drum and dance outside in the sunshine and mend together as a community, the experts were asked to leave. This week benefits from a similar perspective…
which addresses the problems involved in maintaining day-to-day love when others aren’t kind or considerate. It’s not easy accepting that yesterday’s love is a memory, tomorrow’s is a fantasy and today’s love is all that matters…
patience, persistence and practicality with invitations to a tasting plate of earthy delights. But be selective with your mood elevators and choose healthy stress-relievers: ie restorative getaways, creative forays or dedicated periods of whatever personal serenity you prefer.
TAURUS: This week offers satisfyingly F down-to-earth pleasure from manual activities around the house, kitchen or garden, at art or craft. It’s a good time too for repairing things: mending friendships, initiating reconciliations or healing conversations. Also for recognising and accepting what isn’t fixable.
G
GEMINI: During this week’s fast-flying words try to stick to the facts – present astro-energetics aren’t impressed by exaggerations or misinformation. Operating in overdrive could have the reverse result of underachieving, with multitasking resulting in important details being missed. Don’t ignore things that need fixing either.
I
LEO: Energy-charged Mars in a fellow fire sign reignites your will this week to stand up for what you feel strongly about, while Mercury helps express these views effectively. You’ll still need to be discreet when speaking in public though, especially during Friday’s fiery Leo moon.
VIRGO: If it seems a bit hard to find J a simple path through this week’s competitive buzz, then just resist risky money moves, reckless spending or the kind of self-talk that makes you feel disappointed or unappreciated. Enjoy the blessings you have, share them with like-minded friends.
SCORPIO: Want to break a habit, make L a fresh start? This week supports it. Mars, your mentor planet of sexy energy in the sign of wisdom and adventure, sparks off a rejuvenating renaissance, possibly via an unexpected visitor rocking your world with wild new ideas. SAGITTARIUS: Master-blaster Mars M in Sagittarius has you enthused, exuberant, alight to take flight for the heights. And inclined to over-excitement. This week’s about containing and directing your energy, making plans rather than winging it, not letting impatience undermine your effectiveness or sabotage promising opportunities.
AQUARIUS: If current feedback’s O inclined to be the critical kind, never mind. Better to let the moods, attitudes and provocative opinions of others usher you curious Aquirkians into new avenues of mental exploration. Resist over-sharing or gossip fests and this week could pay off bigtime. PISCES: In ancient Greece, this week P celebrated the wisdom principle. A slice of astro-advice is to keep in mind that Virgo Mercury’s a perfectionist and merciless critic. And try not to take sharp remarks too personally or get caught up in other people’s blame, complaints and accusations..

THREE WOMEN ARTISTS WHO LOVE PLAYING ON THE EDGE Three artists brought together by the meanderings of the drawn line, Oksana Waterfall, Zom Osborne and Mandy Nolan, in their different ways, explore ideas that dwell at the edge of conscious experience. Oksana Waterfall’s current work details the whimsy and perversity inherent in the objects of childhood memories. Her drawings are small and precise, sometimes accentuated by embroidered patterns or needlework. While she is intrigued by
the connections we make with each other and the objects we acquire during our lives, Zom Osborne is touched by the energies she senses in the unseen and the immaterial, and Mandy Nolan allows herself the rare luxury of allowing her hand to roam freely in a kind of ‘unconscious doodling or fiddling’ when she feels she has something a little more whimsical or softer to say. Or maybe sometimes because she doesn’t want to say anything at all. For all three artists, the line has its own quiet eloquence. The exhibition opening is 9 October at Art Piece Gallery, but bookings are now open for the limitedseating Sit Down Dinner with the Artists at 7.30pm. With jugs of lemonade, antipasti, asparagus tart with roasted cherry tomatoes, market fish, chargilled veggies, rocket and pecan salad with a berry meringue or a chocolate surprise! $68.00 per head Bookings essential.

EXHIBITION: MATISSE PALACE BYRON BAY CINEMA
21 /24 SEPTEMBER, 1PM
Henri Matisse is a giant of modern art and in Exhibition: Matisse audiences are invited to enjoy an intimate, behind-the-scenes tour of the blockbuster Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs exhibition, which opened to international acclaim at London’s Tate Museum in April. JOEL EDGERTON IN FELONY
FELONY
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
Written by Joel Edgerton, director Matthew Saville’s finely balanced film noir demands that its audience decide for themselves whose side they are on – or, more importantly, if they can be on either – without having been spoon-fed a ‘correct’ judgment. Detective Malcolm Toohey (Edgerton), saved by a bullet-proof vest when shot during a raid, gets on the grog with his fellows to celebrate the closing of a case.
Talk about spoilers – some actors might as well have the word tattooed on their foreheads. The minute that William Fichtner appeared as Erik Sacks, the sober-suited plutocrat, I knew that he would turn out to be the megalomaniacal bad guy. It is always the same in these tedious, earsplitting orgies of CGI. I was too old to be remotely interested in the Ninja Turtles when they first became a craze in the 1980s.
Driving home drunk, he is allowed to pass through an RBT unchallenged, but shortly afterwards his car clips a young cyclist who is delivering papers. The boy falls and lies unconscious on the road. There were no witnesses. Instead of it being just another run of the mill exposé of corrupt coppers covering their dirty deeds, the story digs deeper into the psyches and emotional responses of the three men involved – Toohey, Summer (Tom Wilkinson), a senior detective who has been around the traps long enough to know how to put a lid on the matter, as well as make a rational argument for doing so, and Melic (Jai Courtney), the up-and-comer who, like a dog with a bone, will not rest until the truth is brought to light. But at what price is truth unearthed? Are there not more serious felons to be pursued? Should a decent family man be punished for such an accident?
The concept seemed ridiculous – far more so than a talking mouse steering a steamboat down the Mississippi – but there was at least the saving grace of their being named after four masters of the Italian Renaissance. I’d happily consigned them to history (along with the 80s in general), but they’re back, bigger and noisier and with more street cred than ever. New York is under the pump yet again – this time it is the Foot Clan running amok (with Hollywood continuing its questionable practice of portraying evil as Oriental). April O’Neill (Megan Fox – an actress of almost unique shallowness) is a reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper who wants to be taken seriously. Her boss, Whoopi Goldberg (who might soon turn up as a contestant on America’s Greatest Loser), like the rest of us, thinks April has all the substance of a pancake. Inadvertently, she becomes a fifth member of the Turtles’ gang and together they wage a campaign to counter the terror of the Foots. The pace is frenetic, the effects are dazzling and the Turtles themselves are impressive creations, but the cacophony is tiresome and the story desperately unoriginal.
The script tends to drift and it bends over backwards to make its point in an overly contrived fight between Summer and Melic, while the out-of-left-field development of Melic’s feelings for the boy’s mother (Sarah Roberts) is gratuitous and, for the detective, wildly out of character. Performances from all are terrific – Wilkinson does a better-than-average Australian accent – but though gripping, the tone and ‘look’ of the movie lack light and shade. Apart from the perfect use of Roxy Music’s Avalon in the moments leading up to the accident, the score is too often intrusive and the ending is a bit of a stretch. Starting off great but finishing less so, it is still well worth a look.
There is a funny episode at the start where one of the Ninjas is preoccupied watching (presumably on Facebook) a cat playing Chopsticks with chopsticks, but it was all downhill after that. With our eyes glazing over and our popcorn consumed, my companion and I both decided that, if we hurried, it wasn’t too late to catch Eggheads, so we fled without looking back.

This landmark show explores the final chapter in Matisse’s life; in his late sixties, when ill-health first prevented him from painting, he began to cut into painted paper with scissors, ‘carving into colour’, to make drafts for a number of commissions. In time, Matisse chose cut-outs over painting; he had invented a new medium. From snow flowers to dancers, circus scenes and a world-famous snail, the exhibition showcases a dazzling array of 120 works made between 1936 and 1954. Bold, exuberant and often large in scale, the cut-outs have an engaging simplicity coupled with incredibly creative sophistication. The film features interviews with experts including Tate director Nicholas Serota and friends and relatives of Matisse, and includes rare archive footage of him at work. Cinema audiences can also enjoy breathtaking new performances inspired by Matisse’s cut-outs: Royal Ballet principal dancer Zenaida Yanowsky performs a dance piece reflecting the colours, dynamism and freedom of the cut-outs, and jazz musician Courtney Pine performs a piece invoking the golden age of bebop and jazz greats, the improvisational rhythms of which Matisse compared to his own way of working when making the cutouts. Bold, lively, and often on a grand scale, the cut-outs are a joyous celebration of colour and shape brought to life on the big screen, making this a must-see film for art lovers worldwide. London critics were unanimous in their praise: Matisse screens at Palace Byron Bay Cinema at 1pm on Sunday 21 September and Wednesday 24 September. Tickets $15–20.

The recent tragic death of local man Paul Wilcox from a shark attack has everyone scratching their heads as to how such disasters can be avoided short of a shark cull, which even the Western Australian government has now renounced. One suggestion is to tag white pointers with a transmitter which would announce their presence so that humans in the vicinity can get out of the water while the apex predator searches for a feed.

Mungo’s ‘death’, as reported on Twitter the other week, released a gratifying flood of media coverage once it was
known that our resident political commentator was alive and well in downtown Mullum. What’s even more gratifying, Mungo’s back in action on page 10 this week. Q Q Q Q
Neither the Byron nor Ballina mayor reckons merging the two shires is a worthwhile option, following on from the state government flagging council amalgamations as part of its Fit For The Future plan, designed to deflect attention from the state’s own role in the deterioration across NSW of councils’ financial prospects. It’s one of those planning thought bubbles the government belches out every few years or so to look like they’re doing something before an upcoming election, on par with ‘regional growth strategies’ which are routinely ignored when a developer mate comes along with a you-beaut subdivision proposal.

Backlash is happy to learn that a local python has been returned to its home in Bungawalbin after being seized by Victorian police from a NSW man who was allegedly found doorknocking residents’ houses while carrying the snake in a bag. Why he was doing so has not been explained. Is this a new form of demanding money with menaces?

Backlash has raised the local threat level to Sceptical. There are dangers of distractions to a poorly received budget and chances of being swooped by magpies. Be sure to take a pinch of salt with you wherever you go and alert the authorities if you see something that could be fun.
