Big plans for region All aboard the career search to go renewable Simeon Michaels

Plans are afoot to create Australia’s first community-based renewable energy retailer in the northern rivers, following the award of a government grant to Northern Rivers Energy (NRE), a consortium of clean-energy professionals and analysts. Mark Byrne of the Total Environment Centre, which teamed with the Office of Environment and Heritage to provide the grant, told The Echo, ‘We had several excellent tenders, but the NRE tender won because they had the most sophisticated and thorough understanding of the ways that the northern rivers community could be involved in the company.’ Citizens of Colorado (USA) and Hamburg (Germany) have demonstrated that a motivated community can take control of its electricity supply and transition away from a carbon economy. This is the first attempt to achieve similar results in Australia. ‘The potential is enormous,’ says NRE spokesperson Alison Crook.

‘The northern rivers already has a high level of take-up of solar PV. ‘We have a community that really understands what it means to support each other. ‘We are aware of the reality of climate change and want to do something constructive about it. ‘We can work with existing generators and there is plenty of scope for new projects.

Model for Australia ‘Our aim is to generate sufficient renewable energy to cover our use within the region – a long-term goal and a moving target, but a model for Australia.’ The $54,000 grant will assist NRE to develop its business plan, which is expected to focus on providing renewable energy at competitive rates while purchasing solar and other renewable energy at a fair price from existing residential, commercial and government system owners. This will become critical for locals when feed-in tariff agreements continued on page 5

A chilled musical Sunday afternoon at Mullum’s Court House Hotel welcomed a newly formed not-forprofit organisation called The Youth Training Station. To be held at the iQ Platform at Mullum’s Railway Station throughout October and November, indus-

try professionals will give TED-style talks, Q&As and offer career/lifestyle information for local teens.

TED-style talks It’s part of The Mullum Music Festival program, and it aims to build on the strengths and success

of the Youth Mentorship Program, which supports the careers of upand-coming local musicians. Those presenting/Q&A include: Jia O’Connor (Parkway Drive’s bassist), Hans Lovejoy (The Echo editor), Mike Fishwick (fashion designer continued on page 3

Large-scale housing/industrial proposal referred to ICAC The West Byron development proposal is expected to be referred to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Tuesday October 7 by NSW Greens MLC and former Byron mayor Jan Barham. Ms Barham told The Echo that the site ‘may have been wrongly defined’ and is worthy of investigation. ‘The community deserves to be assured that a project of this scale has not been brought forward for state approval wrongly.’ ‘I believe that it is important that this matter is clarified before any assessment of the

proposal by the government,’ she said. The 108-hectare land is currently under planning minister Pru Goward’s determination for large-scale housing/industrial development, and sits just 2.5 kilometres west of the CBD on Ewingsdale Road. The Echo understands that Sydney-based developer Terry Agnew is by far the largest shareholder at around 80 per cent, along with other local investors. Ms Barham says there appears to be ‘irregularities’ from when the site was defined in 2009 as West Byron Bay Urban Release Area

for inclusion in the Major Development SEPP. It comes after a meeting was held between Ms Barham, local state MP Don Page (Nationals) and members from the Byron Residents Group last week.

MP Don Page’s position Mr Page told The Echo, ‘We discussed the full range of issues ie koalas, traffic, population projections, acid sulfate soils, vegetation, environment zones etc. They supplied additional information on koalas. We also discussed the

meeting they had with the minister.’ When The Echo asked Mr Page if he would support Ms Barham’s inquiry, he said, ‘I believe the inquiry Jan is talking about relates to matters that may have taken place back in 2009 when the rezoning went to the thenstate [Labor] government. I don’t have any knowledge on those matters.’ But Mr Page stated his position on the contentious development, and supplied The Echo with his recent template letter for those continued on page 3

In 2011 around 7,000 people marched through the streets of Lismore against CSG and earlier this year thousands showed up at Bentley to protest against unconventional gas mining. Bentley was a big win for the community, with the suspension of Metgasco’s licence, but it’s not over yet. Active petroleum exploration licences still cover most of the northern rivers. Last week, Labor promised that they would ban unconventional gas mining in the northern ri vers, but we have no guarantees from the current government. Gasfield Free Northern Rivers are planning another march in

Lismore on November 1, calling for the cancellation of all licences across the region. The march will be followed by a family-friendly event at Riverside Park with great bands and speakers. Volunteers are needed to help distribute fliers in Byron. If you like the idea of getting out in the spring sunshine to help with distribution, you can collect fliers and your map this Saturday October 11, from 10am to 12 noon, at the Byron Community Centre. There are plenty of other opportunities to volunteer for the event as well. To get involved, please call Heather on 6622 4959. Q Elly Bird is from Lock the Gate Alliance.

Billinudgel home invasion puts two in hospital Two men were injured in a savage attack by armed intruders at their home at Billinudgel last weekend. Police say that around 11.45pm on Saturday night, two men wearing balaclavas entered the home in Wilfred Street, Billinudgel, where a struggle ensued between the occupants and the intruders. Police say the intruders were armed with a sledgehammer, shotgun and a knife. During the melee, one occupant,

a 42-year-old man, sustained a deep cut to his back while the other man, aged 35, sustained a cut to his head. The intruders ran from the house and were last seen being driven away by a third man in a white Toyota Hilux utility. The injured men sought help from staff and patrons at the hotel nearby, before police and NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived. The older man was taken to Tweed Heads Hospital then

transferred to the Gold Coast Hospital for treatment of the back wound. The younger man was treated at Tweed Heads Hospital for his head injury. A crime scene was established at the home and has been examined by forensic experts. Police from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command investigating the incident are appealing for information and urge anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

concerned with the proposal. It says the rezoning proposal raises several issues. He writes, ‘These include traffic congestion, environmental issues including vegetation, koalas and acid sulfate soils; and potential flooding.’ Mr Page claims that while those who have contacted him regarding West Byron have been both for and against the development, he says he ‘has made it plain that I could not support the proposed rezoning unless current traffic congestion problems were being addressed.’ ‘I’ve also indicated that those sections of the proposal that are environmentally sensitive (approximately 40 per cent of the site) should be rezoned either E2 or E3, and that a koala management plan, a vegetation management plan and an acid sulfate soils plan would need to be put in place before any development occurs.’

been rejected by Byron Shire Council for inclusion in the new Local Environment Plan (LEP), but the applicants then made representations to the state government. ‘At the time, the state government had changed the planning rules to allow applicants to go directly to the state for consideration of proposals. ‘The Major Development – State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) – under Schedule 3, provided for residential developments if they were determined by the minister to be ‘important in achieving state or regional planning objectives’ to then proceed to a state-based assessment, rather than consid-

eration by local government. ‘While the area of West Byron was included in the Far North Coast (FNC) Regional Strategy, it was done so on the basis of robust and comprehensive assessments of the site over the previous decade. ‘The inclusion of the lands in the strategy to meet the defined dwelling targets had already been assessed and the scale of the development potential of the site was limited to approximately 230 dwellings but still required further investigation,’ said Ms Barham. ‘It is clear from the council records from 2006 that the required dwelling target of 2,600 for the next 25 years for the shire under the FNC Regional

Strategy was to be made up of predominantly infill development with planning defined for 1,300 single dwellings and 1,300 multi-unit dwelling and that this was ‘generally in accordance with Council’s existing settlement strategies. ‘With community outrage over the current proposal, and the fact that the scale and impacts would change the character of Byron Bay forever, I felt it was necessary to back track and check the history. ‘I have also made GIPA [freedom of information] applications to seek information regarding the lobbying that may have taken place regarding this proposal.’

Civic-minded battle this Thursday Hans Lovejoy

Lock and load, councillors and staff are in the bear pit this week. An item from the upcoming agenda jumped out for some reason: the oddly entitled Extenuating Circumstances – Proposed Construction of Interim Beach Access Stabilisation Works at Belongil. It all looks a little too difficult to undertake, according to a report by Phillip Holloway, director infrastructure services. Commissioned by councillors, the report was to seek ‘Council endorsement to complete repair works at Manfred Street without inviting tenders, through relying on the extenuating circumstances provision in section 55 (3) of the Local Government Act 1993.’ Mr Holloway has recommended ‘not calling for tenders for the proposed beach access stablisation at Belongil construction works contract nor the materials contract because to do that would not achieve a satisfactory result.’ So will Council delegate authority to the general manager to work this schemozzle out, as is his suggestion?

Cr Sol Ibrahim supports rail trails Cr Sol Ibrahim will seek fellow councillors to support the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, which if successful would align Byron with neighbouring councils, he says.

How will councillors fare against the might of Byron Shire Council bureaucracy this week? Image from Game of Thrones episode, The Bear and the Maiden Fair (third season). www.gameofthrones.wikia.com

He’s asking that Council write to local MP Don Page (Nationals), ‘acknowledging and thanking him for his efforts to secure funding for the Northern Rivers Rail Trail.’ By supporting the NRRT project, Cr Ibrahim claims it will ‘secure the rail corridor in its entirety in public ownership for future generations.’ It will also ‘create a new environmentally friendly tourism enterprise that will create jobs and support local enterprise. Provide locals of all ages with a safe, easy and family-friendly cycle and walkway within and between our townships.’ Will the dubious credibility of the rail study that got us to this stage be discussed? And will we also thank Mr Page for not commenting on that appalling report?

Byron Trade Expo Cr Rose Wanchap is seeking support for a proposed

trial of an arts and industry expo on Lawson Street, that would be held for nine days around this coming Christmas/New Year. The proposal, entitled ‘Bay Street Ring Road, Lawson Street Mall and Two Lanes In’, would see traffic diverted and roads closed to accommodate the expo. But it hasn’t got the support of staff, with Economic Development and Tourism co-ordinator Jane Laverty, saying, ‘At this time the Economic Development & Tourism Team do not have the resources to facilitate the project…’ Traffic and transport planner Simon Bennett went further and said the proposal to change traffic is ‘similar to those matters being addressed in the October 9, 2014 staff report. These items are not related to any current funded project of Council. ‘Instead they are offered as stand alone to any current projects such as the park and ride

and New Year events planned for this same period, ie Christmas/New Year. As such, Infrastructure Services does not have the resources to facilitate the project at this time.’ Cr Wanchap says in her background notes that the expo, ‘could be offered to various businesses and community groups in the shire, who would… showcase their products and/or vision for the shire right in the heart of the Bay.’

expire in 2016. Solar expert and NRE team member Patrick Halliday said, ‘We would like to value renewable energy created by system owners in a more realistic manner than the six to eight cents per kilowatt hour currently on offer.

Feed-in tariff expires 2016 ‘As a region at the end of a grid and without reticulated gas, we feel much more can be done to create home-grown energy.’ NRE plans to facilitate community investment in medium-scale renewable energy projects initiated from anywhere in the community, and develop financing models to allow individuals to go solar. Of the 30+ cents we currently pay per kWh of electricity, only 3–5c represents the cost of generation. Transmission and distribution costs make up over 60 per cent of our power bill. ‘When we bring energy from afar, electricity is lost in the lines. It’s incredibly wasteful,’ says Ms Crook. ‘With the use of accurate measurement and monitoring, energy-efficient appliances and the increase of locally produced power, we can transition to a low-carbon environment

that is ethical, efficient, locally owned and self-sustaining.’ NRE also plans to operate a not-for-profit arm focusing on Energy Literacy (education, efficiency and demand management). Energy analyst and team member Debbie Davie believes that community involvement and customer loyalty will be central to NRE’s success. ‘This makes business sense too. Peaks in demand create price spikes, and a retailer in co-operation with informed customers can use technology to manage demand.’ Full-scale community consultation will be carried out after the NRE completes its feasibility study and can produce detailed financial modelling. ‘We want to give the people throughout the northern rivers the opportunity, even at this early stage, to signal their interest in participating in early rounds of discussions,’ said Ms Crook. ‘We have all the ingredients necessary to demonstrate that communities can meet their energy needs without relying on fossil fuels. Now we need to put it together.’ For more visit www.nre.org.au and register for more information or to participate in the project.

Ewingsdale residents rail against Council, development plans Hans Lovejoy

Ewingsdale residents are accusing Byron Council of ‘deliberately’ withholding information from them regarding a seniors living/retail proposal surrounding the Byron Central Hospital. It’s a development which could see the addition of 400 new residents – predominantly seniors – over the 15hectare parcel, according to a Council planning staff report. Calling it a ‘complete restructure of their community’, Ewingsdale Community Association vice-president Lorissa Barrett said, ‘This largescale development will see the gateway to Byron Bay changed irreparably and double the population of our village. ‘Ewingsdale residents are not asking for zero development; we are asking for time to adequately discuss appropriate development, and not rush through a poorly structured and badly planned highdensity living arrangement, under the guise of aged care,’

Mayor calls to delay decision Due to be debated at this Thursday’s Council meeting, mayor Simon Richardson told The Echo that he will seek councillor support to delay the decision until the Growth Management Strategy is complete. ‘My intention on Thursday is to not consider the application until the completion of the Forward Planning (housing) process,’ he said. For the development to go ahead, Council’s planning instrument, the Byron Local Environment PLan (LEP) 2014, would need too be amended before it is sent to state planners for determination.

Ewingsdale residents say they feel disenfranchised from a seniors housing/retail proposal around the planned Byron Central Hospital, which could increase the local population by 400. Public submissions saw 60 residents oppose and two in support, according to a Byron Council staff report. Photo Eve Jeffery

According to a Council planner report in this week’s agenda, the amended LEP would ‘permit seniors housing, medical centre, business premises, restaurants or cafes, and shops on two lots either side of the future hospital site at Ewingsdale.’ Council staff added, ‘should the Department of Planning and Infrastructure issue a positive Gateway determination, a master plan would need to be prepared to adequately address issues…’ They include ‘suitable buffer areas between the existing concrete batching plant/ electricity station and the subject land to be adequately assessed and provided; and transport networks for pedestrians/buggies within and between the subject land and the hospital to be identified. Additionally, updated traffic studies, a site contamination assessment, sewerage management clarification and an heritage assessment of ‘Buildings and surrounds’. As for public submissions

Indigenous mentorship open An arts mentorship program has been announced for Indigenous young people, which is aimed at kickstarting creative careers. The IAM (Indigenous Arts Mentorship) is a six-month mentorship which aims to create solid pathways into the creative industries by matching ten young people between the ages of 16 and 25 with both Indigenous and nonIndigenous arts and creative industry professionals. IAM project collaborator

Dusty McOnie has a background in youth arts mentorships and engaging Indigenous young people through his role as arts mentor for Youth Connections. He said, ‘To be able to help link Indigenous youth with established arts and creative industry professionals will really develop their passion and skills’.

received, staff say ‘60 were opposed to the proposal in varying degrees, with two submissions in support.’

The issues raised in the submissions are also analysed and responded to by staff as part of Council’s upcoming agenda.

Community consultation

Not good enough

Council planning staff also wrote, ‘There were three main issues in which more than half of the objectors listed a similar theme. The three issues which seemed to draw most attention were: traffic congestion, impacts on character of Ewingsdale and lifestyle and amenity issues.’

Traffic, impacts on amenity Regarding community consultation, staff added that ‘The planning proposal was placed on public exhibition for 28 days from July 15 to August 11 2014 and written notifications were sent to landowners for the whole of Ewingsdale, totalling 205 letters. Three community information sessions were held in the Ewingsdale Hall on 29 July which were primarily run by the proponents, with Council staff introducing each session and being present for the entire evening session to answer questions from the public. ‘The proponent had organised a presentation featuring numerous consultants involved in the proposal covering seniors housing, design issues, flora and fauna and traffic management. The information sessions were well attended with approximately 100 people turning up in total over the whole day.’

But the association’s Ms Barrett told The Echo, ‘At our first community meeting with the councillors last week (September 30), we discovered that the Byron Shire Council’s planning department had already recommended that the councillors vote to endorse the LEP changes at the October 9 council meeting.’ ‘That is not appropriate community consultation. As residents we feel completely disenfranchised. The community consultation process gave residents only 28 days from July 15 till August 11, 2014 to review and make submissions to a planning proposal, which will potentially change the character of Ewingsdale and the entrance to Byron Bay. ‘The council had it presented to them on April 13, 2013, but July 2014 was the first time we heard about it – and now we hear they are already planning to vote with only a week for us to talk to them! ‘The Community Association organised the meeting in the hall on September 30 and invited the councillors to attend. Council made no attempt to consult with us about the development on their own accord. ‘This is an opportunity to plan a truly amazing gateway to Byron Bay. ‘It should be well thought out and add to the vibrancy of the shire. This development is far from it’. The Byron Shire Echo October 7, 2014 7

The night aims to raise awareness to the possibilities of peace through nonviolent means, as well as a fundraiser for the Nonviolent Interfaith Leadership Program (NILP). ‘NILP was launched in 2012 by Pace e Bene Australia,’ says Efrat Wolfson, who will be one of the facilitators on the night. ‘Its aim is to bring together young people of different faith traditions in order to enhance their leadership skills, to support their local communities in taking nonviolent effective action.’

Experiences from the front line Ms Wolfson says she will share her experiences working on the front line of the conflict in the Middle East and how she is bringing her experience to Australian schools and community or-

democracy: Pirate Party The Pirate Party has strongly criticised the newly introduced Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Foreign Fighters) Bill 2014, and its explanatory memorandum, as well as the short timeframe given to consider it. It comes after the party made a brief submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security’s Inquiry into the bill last week.

350 pages long Mozart Olbrycht-Palmer, author of the Pirate Party’s submission said, ‘Combined, the Foreign Fighters Bill and its explanatory memorandum are more than 350 pages long. ‘For something as simple

as preventing the handful of Australians allegedly heading overseas to fight and train with terrorist organisations from leaving or returning, these amendments are extremely broad. ‘This Bill covers not just migration and passport restrictions, but also extends the powers of ASIO operatives and reduces judicial oversight. It even amends social security legislation. ‘Our submission protested the enormity of the Bill and the nine days provided for the public to make submissions. ‘Railroading such broad legislation through parliament and token public consultation is fundamentally undemocratic. We are losing

rights and freedoms before we realise what’s going on.’ Originally from Sweden, the political party was established in 2006 by Rick Falkvinge, according to www. pirateparty.org.au, largely in response to a toughening of copyright laws. ‘After the raiding of the Pirate Bay website, membership rapidly increased and soon Pirate Parties had formed in numerous countries,’ says the website. The party claims to be a movement based around the core tenets of ‘freedom of information and culture, civil and digital liberties, privacy and anonymity, government transparency and participatory democracy’.

Greens push for coal, gas political donation bans Following the announcement from state Labor that it would end all CSG mining in the northern rivers if elected, the Greens have ratcheted up the debate by calling on political donations from mining and gas companies to be banned. The party currently has a bill before NSW parliament aiming at achieving that. Greens candidate for Ballina, Tamara Smith, said, ‘From Bentley to the Pilliga, from Glenugie to Gloucester, the Greens policy is clear: we are opposed to unconventional gas mining anywhere in NSW and support a rapid transition

to clean, renewable energy.’ She said that before the last election, more than $50,000 was donated to the ALP by energy giant AGL while they were seeking approval to drill 110 coal seam gas wells near Gloucester. ‘Similarly, the National Party has received over $95,000 from Santos, Arrow Energy, Chevron and the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association since 2012,’ Ms Smith said. ‘How can regional communities take anything the Labor and National parties say about CSG seriously?’

police harassment A protest is planned to protest against the continual police harassment and raids on the township of Nimbin, just outside of Lismore. Co-organiser Sophia Hoeben says, ‘We will be calling upon both federal and state governments to implement cannabis law reform and stop the overkill of police laying siege on our small village. ‘Shopkeepers, locals and tourists alike are united in

their outrage with the frequency of these aggressive raids and the resulting financial impact on Nimbin shops and services.’ Protesters will gather in Cullen Street, Nimbin, from 12 noon Saturday October 11, followed by a stroll to the Nimbin Police Station for a protest ‘smoke-in’. Shops in Nimbin will be asked to close at midday for ten minutes as a show of solidarity.

Our glorious leader is confronted

Volume 29 #17

October 7, 2014

Leave it to Beavis Allow me to introduce myself: I am Lennox Head resident Ronald Bentock, retired. My career included managing a very successful rafia-based manufacturing business. My passions includes haberdashery and discussing the ideology of William F Buckley. Why am I here? Well, this dubious publication asked me to supply comment in an attempt to improve the perception it is biased. And while I was initially hesitant to associate my name with such rabble, I was assured the freedom to speak my mind. Speaking of which, our government says we live in dangerous times. Thankfully both sides of government responded appropriately to internal advice and have implemented laws to restrict the sort of free speech that gives sympathy to our enemies. While socialist babies may want their civil liberties, it takes a strong father-figure to guide us away from empathy and remind us of the harsh realities of the world. It’s law of the jungle I say, and let the best man triumph. Speaking of which, the only sensible candidate for next year’s state election is The Nationals’ Kris Beavis. He has shown great political skill in abstaining from all levels of debate and remaining mute on anything potentially contentious. Free speech is a luxury, and in these times of uncertainty, it should be used sparely. Mr Beavis is rightly being groomed for the job because we don’t need more people who ask questions in parliament. There is also concern, at least your newspaper tells me so, about the condition of the environment and what our young people will do with their lives. Let me say that if you look after your civic duties, the rest will look after itself. Jobs flow to the bottom feeders when the wealthy get their way. One last thought: have you ever noticed how political satire struggles to be funny? Ronald Bentock

n a moment of introspection, Tony Abbott once opined that he was, perhaps, a bastard – or, as he more delicately put it, a lovechild. His supposed parents were John Howard, a real prime minister, and Bronwyn Bishop, an absurdly wanted-to-be prime minister. These days, of course, Bishop sits in the speaker’s chair, the most blatantly biased presiding officer in the parliament’s history: she takes part in the deliberations of the Liberal Party room and has tossed out some 200 opposition members from the chamber, which is thought to be a record. Between mother and son, family harmony generally prevails. But even in the best regulated households there are occasional spats, and it appeared that one has now developed. Last week Bishop enacted a ukase that wearers of facial covering, by which everyone understood to be Muslim veils, whether burqa or niqab, would henceforth be restricted to the glassed-in observation chambers of the House of Representatives. The little-known Stephen Parry, the senate president, concurred. The presiding officers have spoken. It is not entirely certain what purpose the glassed-in areas actually serve; perhaps they are modelled on the glass booth in which Adolf Eichmann was brought to trial in Israel. In the past they are usually confined to groups of school children, who would probably feel more threatened than threatening by the spectacle in front of them. And there was a rumour – no more – that impostors might arrive in parliament in Muslim dress and, shock horror, demonstrate in the galleries. Perhaps that was what Parry meant when he attempted to justify the edict by saying that if there were hecklers, it might be hard to identify

the culprits if their faces were covered. Even if this were true (and it never has been) it seemed a simple enough problem to solve. Nonetheless, the sledgehammer was produced and the nut was cracked – or, as Abbott attempted in another euphemism, a mountain was enlarged to a molehill. The ostensible reason for the move came from the usual suspects: those serial bigots Jackie Lambie, George Christensen and Cory Bernardi who wanted the burqa (and presumably the niqab) banned, full stop. In normal circumstances they would have been dismissed with ridi-

by Mungo MacCallum cule and ignored, but there was a catch: the prime minister’s office. Abbott’s Eminence Grise, Peta Credlin, had let it be known that she was not only supportive, but in the loop. She urged Bernardi to go ahead, but counselled him to adopt a bit of camouflage: don’t just say ban the burqa, talk about the need for security in the hallowed precincts of the people’s parliament. So Bernardi did so. It is not known whether Credlin passed on the advice to her boss, but we do know that Abbott felt compelled to announce, in public, the he felt the burqa (or, presumably, niqab) was a confronting bit of attire, and he would rather it were not worn. Well, hang on – confronting? A gun wielding bikie in balaclava might be confronting, or perhaps a cop in full riot gear. A woman clad in a drab garment for reasons of modesty should hardly rattle our pugilistic prime minister. He must indeed have depths of sensitivity

few years ago he told the world that he was ‘uncomfortable’ with the idea of homosexuality; earlier he expressed reservations about multiculturalism. But as prime minister, he has been a little more careful. He has even kept his mouth shut about his lifelong opposition to abortion. But this time, for one reason or another, he cracked, and then had to retreat in the wake of a widespread and well-merited public backlash. Like Bishop, he was, perhaps, entitled to feel aggrieved. He might have been impetuous, but he was not alone: the subject of Muslim coverings for women has been a long and complex one, involving the conflict between the religious and the secular, the traditional and the modern, going on for many years. Women themselves argue whether it is a matter of female choice or male oppression. France has banned the burqa outright. Other western coun-

tries have followed with total or partial restrictions. But the most interesting example comes, appropriately as we focus our attention on the centenary of Anzac, from the largely Islamic republic of Turkey. The founder of the modern nation, the Anzac veteran Kemal Ataturk, was a zealous secularistist determined to modernise the medieval culture of the populace, and he adopted the abolition of the veil as a symbol. But like Credlin and Bernardi, he did it by stealth and misdirection. He started by insisting that students sitting for public service exams (a much-desired career option) should appear bareheaded – simply because they could then not whisper answers between them and cheat. Similarly, he attempted to replace the fez with the bowler hat to prevent male Muslims from bowing their heads on the ground in prayer. The campaign was not entirely successful: in the east of the country it was frequently ignored and even in the great cosmopolitan city of Istanbul there remain pockets of resistance. But it took a virtual dictator even to attempt the job. Abbott is not in the same mould, and for that matter is unlikely to succumb to Ataturk’s fate of alcoholism and syphilis – at least as far as we know. Bishop, for all her overt authoritarianism, will probably recant in the fortnight break before parliament resumes and Abbott will be able to get back to plugging Team Australia in the wake of the other grand finals. But it has been yet another blunder, yet another distraction, and yet another episode which will give the critics (and for that matter the supporters) further doubts about our prime minister’s judgment and stability. To put it bluntly, when it comes to the burqa, Tony Abbott has been a bit of a berk.

of which we were not aware. But Abbott, following the Credlin/Bernardi line, also went on to muse about the importance of security on the building. Well, wink wink, nudge nudge. Bishop would have had every right to believe that her favourite son had given a hint she could not refuse. And she would have felt equally betrayed when he not only explained later that he had missed her declaration before it had been proclaimed and wanted it reversed. Of course, this is not the first time Abbott has found his prejudices to be a little impolitic. A

Cycling through the transport debate The trouble with Basil’s faulty argument (Echo report, September 30), is that it’s based on anger and frustration. The reality is that people in this growing region didn’t use the train as it was too slow and inconvenient even then. Imagine trying to catch a train today, in say, the middle of Byron, as though the traffic wasn’t bad enough. Wait for a train, only to be taken at a snail’s pace to, say, the west of Lismore, stranded until taken by something else to the centre of Lismore. And where are all these millions of tourists originating from? Lismore, or Murwillumbah? Or somewhere in

Nature under threat Nature in Byron Bay is about to tip one way or the other. Many long-term structural changes are being pushed all at once: West Byron development, Ewingsdale, Baywood Chase, the Suffolk quarry site. I listen to many alarmed residents, informed and engaged, desperately dealing with each issue separately. The nature of residents is also under great stress. To my mind, all these proposals turn on one fundamental choice: how do we live with nature? We surely can overwhelm the unique way nature is in Byron Bay. Instead, how about we stand up for the freedom of our own beleaguered wild animals and places? To safe-

between, maybe? Basil even relies on rail bikes as a way to utilise the ever-decaying tracks! His true dream appears to rely on a multibillion dollar upgrade where Queensland and NSW agree to fund and build a connection from Robina to Casino with fast rail. That ain’t going to happen. If Basil were a multibillionaire, I’m damned sure he’d be very scared indeed to invest in his dream, if ever he were to wake up! Tim Shanasy Byron Bay

change, because it’s by maintaining the status quo that they became rich and powerful. But with resources being squandered on unsustainable consumerism and the planet being cooked, maintaining the status quo is now a very radical act. For many of us old-school lefties, being radical means opposing the excesses of the status quo and trying to sustainably conserve the planet while retaining the best of being human – so many radicals are true conservatives. Our ‘conservative’ prime minister wants ‘economic growth’ to head the G20 agenda, ahead of that annoying blowfly – the environment. In Canada ‘wilful blindness’ is a crime. To have a prime minister and most of his cabinet indulging in wilful environmental blindness is infuriating.

As the northern winter closes in, it would be far more humane to deploy the war budget and personnel to feeding and sheltering displaced Syrians.

Managing sharks

Still no letters in The Echo asking our Council or Marine Park Authority how they plan to manage the increasing threat of large sharks in our waters. To simply make comment about people knowing the risks when they enter the sharks’ domain is a cop-out, and burying our heads in the sand won’t make the issue go away. I am in the water three or four times a week and usually with my 5-year-old son. Everyone I know who uses the water this much usually knows of many sightings, and we have also seen visitors put themselves in dangerous situations, usually surfcraft related at The Pass, or going out at unpatrolled Tallow Beach as inexperienced swimmers. We have signage relating to surfboard etiquette and dangerous surf but nothing about large sharks (only increasing in size) during the whale migration period.

Don’t our visitors at the very least deserve to be informed? Can The Echo start showing some responsibility by encouraging dialogue on the issue? There are many sharkdeterrent measures which could be implemented by Council and the MPA. Sure, many aren’t 100 per cent foolproof, but some kind of multifaceted, animal-friendly approach would come close, I believe. Wayne Stokes Ewingsdale

Direct democracy I am trying out direct democracy as a means of expressing the public will and wiping out corruption. There is no fancy legislation needed. If elected to the state seat of Ballina I will ask people to come to town meetings, have a debate and then vote on issues. I will then vote accordingly in the parliament. Of course it’s not compulsory, and your ballot will be secret. It’s really our tradition. Australia can be said to be the world’s first true democracy, because we introduced the effective secret ballot, one of the great achievments of our culture and once known internationally as ‘The Australian Ballot’. I will be holding trial events around the electorate, and people will be able to try the system out and see if they like it. If we can do it successfully here, why not all of NSW? All of Australia? As your MP, I don’t want to tell you what to do. I want us to have a discussion, and let the public decide. Keep an eye out for meeting dates. Matt Hartley Byron Bay

12 October 7, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

On Friday September 26, driving from Suffolk to work in Byron, the car in front of me came to a stop just up from Byron Community School because two dogs, which I assumed had escaped a backyard, were running confused and skittish in front of two lanes of traffic. I waited until the woman, who I assumed was the owner of the dogs, had got hold of them by their collars. The car in front of me started to drive away before one dog was held and the dog dashed back out and, to everyone’s horror, the car ran over the dog. And took off. The woman was sobbing and blood-spattered and said ‘I’m not even the owner! I only stopped to help!’ I was shaking too badly to call on my phone so I drove to work

Dogs in no-dog zones

Photo Mark Dalmuder flickr.com/photos/mdalmuld/

I’m trying to get my head around the rationale of the persistent local dog owners that use the no-dog beach zones. There are three regular South Golden Beach residents, for example, who continually use the no-dog beach. This gives the message to new residents and holiday makers that it is okay. I really struggle with this conundrum, considering the great number of dog owners who duly respect and use the assigned dog areas. So this leads me to conclude: 1. They are above the law and it does not apply to them. 2. That it doesn’t matter. 3. They just don’t give a stuff. 4. It’s all about me! Now having said this, regardless of how they spin it or even for that matter how I spin it, it’s still a no-dog area. Not everyone wants to spend their time on the beach surrounded by uncontrolled dogs and excrement. For example, I was on the beach this morning and a child had made a lovely sand castle in the no-dog zone, and sure enough along came ‘Spot’ and lifted his leg all over the masterpiece. I can only hope the tide changes before the child returns to complete it. Ralph and Rennie Johnston South Golden Beach two minutes away to ask a colleague to dial the police and I asked them to help out that traumatised woman and get help for the dog. My colleague’s husband went over to the scene as I had to teach and the dog had mercifully died and wasn’t suffering. The week leading up to this I had been truly shocked by how fast everyone seemed to be driving and, to rebel, I stopped to let every bike and pedestrian cross the road. People, cyclists and wildlife crossing roads, dogs who’ve escaped backyards and cats who get out of homes, need drivers to watch out for them. What the F*&^% is the rush? If you need to drive like you’re in a big city, go live in one. Let’s bring courtesy and kindness back to the roads in this shire. And check your fences so your dogs are safe while you’re at work.

uninformed to believe that Simon and Paul were whale harpoonists rather than dedicated workers for this predominantly green community. I would rather read about Simon and Paul’s non-adversarial management style and how it has been instrumental in delivering the ratepayers of this cauldron of non-consensus a rare, cohesive council. Thank God they, in partnership with their colleagues, have avoided a repeat of the previous council’s relationship with business stakeholders, which was like watching a Survivor series where no one survived. SF, and our ravaged marine wildlife, will no doubt get that signage but can he/ she refrain from trying to shred the reputations of our effective local reps in the process? Mick Malloy Suffolk Park

Halloween: one hell of an evening Bonfire Night – Guy Fawkes – which in many ways is a much wilder and more depraved foray into the human spirit. In Lewes, in Sussex, Guy Fawkes not only marks the date of the uncovering of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, but also remembers 17 Protestant martyrs from the town who were burned at the stake for their faith during the Marian Persecutions 50 years earlier.

ith its squash and ghouls and party spirit, Halloween is on its way again. For a phenomenon, it could be as recent as Pepsi. But it’s older, much older, and scarier too – a unique mix of religion, nature, death and romance. One night of the year we have access to the Other Side to peer in and mingle. All may enter the door to death’s realm, left ajar, beckoning. All Hallow’s Eve, Hallowe’en, this primeval carnival on the cusp of northern winter marks the harvest brought in, the summer now behind, and the long months of darkness to come. Halloween stares in the face of all that demise and grins.

Passion gone In its present plastic format, though, it’s one of the UK’s most popular recent American imports, after dating. Halloween gets kids to dress up and pretend they’re… what… scary? Like, I don’t think so! Halloween has done to horror what porn has done to sex. Laid it bare, stripped it of hair, shrivelled its passionate heart and commoditised it into snack-sized pieces. More plastic scythes and skeletons are sold in the UK now than watering cans. In the US, it is the top holiday of the year for chocolate sales. In the UK, between 2000 and 2010, spending on Halloween goodies grew from £12 million (A$22m) to £280 million (A$518m), with a corresponding 30-fold rise in the costume market. This is not just kid powwi-fi have contemplated the public nuisance and liability of the resulting distracted unconsciousness. In China those who inhabit this paralysed universe have their own lane on the footpath in order to Mac their way. Anton Vanderbyl Palmwoods

ISIS origins

Harsha Prabhu, the selfstyled authority on all things Islam and terrorism, has some factual inaccuracies in his last little piece (Echo, September 30) wherein he quotes Hillary Clinton’s assertion that the Saudis are funding and arming ISIS. This is patently false and shows a lack of knowledge of the true state of affairs in the

er. The grown-ups are at it too. The streets of Camden Town will be thronged with sprites and zombies and vampires galore. As blood drips from chandeliers along the high street, the number 14 bus rumbles past oblivious. Wherever you look, makeup is thoughtfully applied. It’s like being in the wardrobe store of a studio lot in Hollywood with everything come to life for one chilling finale. Out in the suburbs, this scene is re-enacted a thousand-fold, cast entirely of the children.

or treating was known as ‘souling’. Poor people would go from door to door to receive food (‘soul cakes’) in return for saying prayers for the dead. Before that, the history is unclear, its origin lost. But we’ve always done it, as far as we know, or something like it. The Celts in Britain 2,000 years ago called it Samhain and the rituals were nearly the same.

Blacksmith Jack

Trick or treat? they shriek as they bang on your door – well, knock politely, mostly, or ring the bell. Nonetheless, few who answer dare to take the trick option. A flock of merry kids blurs too easily into a hooded gang up to mischief. Better to sprinkle sugar treats and wish them on their ghoulish way. And bless the scary ones that make a decent effort, the ones you find yourself doing a doubletake to make sure they’re not from the Other Side after all. In the Middle Ages, trick

Masks or costumes have always featured, a way to mimic evil spirits, to appease them. And the traditional colours, orange and black, are likely because orange is associated with the harvest and black with death. Though a tale is told also of a blacksmith named Jack who outsmarted the Devil to wander the earth undead, his soul imprisoned like the flame we trap in pumpkins, the Jack-oLanterns. (On a practical note, if your pumpkin lantern shrivels up, soak it for a few hours in water.) In the UK, Halloween always falls a week before

Middle East today. ISIS is a concoction of the new Arab kids on the block, Qatar. I quote a well researched and authoritative article in Haaretz which you can read here http://bit.ly/qatquote: ‘The events of the past few weeks, which prompted criticism of Qatar from Israeli ministers and other high-ranking officials, served to emphasise Qatar’s special status: a tiny but frighteningly wealthy country that donates millions of dollars to terrorist groups on the one hand while hosting the US’s largest military base in the Middle East on the other; and seeks to promote democracy in the Arab world through the Al Jazeera network even as it nurtures a slave state and

conservative regime that are light years away from democracy.’ What does this mean? It means that gas- and oil-rich Arab nations are still playing their old duplicitous game. Or as Yoel Guzansky, a research fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies, a far more qualified individual than Mr Prahbu, says, ‘Qatar’s fingerprints have been found on just about everything over the past decade… It supported the Islamic State, which is laying waste to Iraq, when that group was in its infancy.’ So the notion that it is western actions that facilitate the development of large armies like ISIS by ‘radicalising Muslim youth’ is naive in continued on page 14

Back to normal? Effigies are burned. Dozens of fires dot the streets. The usually sedate town resembles a scene from Hieronymus Bosch. It’s terrifying. No tricks, no treats, just fire. And thousands of cheering, masked townsfolk. Next day, everything’s back to normal. Mrs Jones in the post office will enquire as usual whether you want your packet sent second class or first, and isn’t it a lovely day. This compounds the gothic extreme of the night before. Which has gone, where? Maybe that’s how we are underneath. Like the kids, little darlings housing monsters. Best let it out now and then.

Oz parallels In your recent editorial relating to the Japanese government’s response to the tsunami and the nuclear meltdown you wrote: ‘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 corporatesponsored “press gallery”. No questions allowed.’ Mark Willacy has quite

uncannily described to a T the performance of the recent Rudd/Gillard/Rudd governments. Not only that; he has also very accurately described the performance of the Australian media during the same period. The complicity and corroboration of the ABC and the Fairfax media, not to mention numerous north coast ‘independents’, was blatantly obvious for the entire six years. Willacy, as the ABC Asian correspondent 2008–2013, appears to have the Japanese position covered. It is a pity that the ABC, Fairfax and others fell hook, line and sinker for the ‘Emperor has no clothes syndrome’ and failed to accurately assess the then current domestic issues.

UK council removes ‘racist’ Banksy artwork London [EFE]

The council of Clacton-onSea in England has erased a Banksy mural, unaware it was the creation of the prominent artist, after receiving a complaint that it was racist. A cleaning team erased the mural picturing five pigeons on what looks like an electric cable with posters against immigration aimed at a much more exotic African bird. ‘Migrants not welcome’, ‘Go back to Africa’ and ‘Keep off our worms’ are the banners that the home pigeons direct to the exotic bird, with the satirical style of Banksy, who later confirmed on his website that it is his work. A city spokeswoman said the graffiti was removed due to a complaint that it was

what would have been a tourist attraction. ‘We would obviously welcome an appropriate Banksy original on any of our seafronts and would be delighted if he returned in the future,’ said the spokesman.

Banksy, who is keen to keep his identity unknown, is thought to come originally from Bristol (West of England), and is known for his black satire in murals and graffiti displayed by surprise anywhere in the world.

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm With their new Australian chess magazine, 50 Moves, Moulthun Ly and Fedja Zulfic are trying to prove that there is a sufficient subscription base for a magazine filled with Australian content and distributed in pdf format. The enthusiasm of the editors secured a wide range of contributors, but apart from myself and veteran Melbourne IM Guy West, all the authors are younger than 25. The consequence is a lightness of spirit which is missing from most chess journals, and which serves to remind readers that competitive chess can be fun. Canberra’s Junta Ikeda, a a

connoisseur of chess compositions, presented the following magical knight manoeuvre in his Studies column in the second issue of 50 Moves. In diagram 1, White’s cause appears hopeless but the knight can run back to stop the g pawn via 1.Nh5! g2 2.Nf4! and now it appears that Black has nothing better than 2...g1(N) 3.Nxe6 with a draw. However Black can try another trick... 2...g1(Q)! 3.Ne2+ Kd2 4.Nxg1 Ke3! when it seems that the knight (and the game) will finally be lost. (See diagram 2) However, White has one more amazing resource... 5.Nh3!! when it turns out that after 5...Bxh3, White is stalemated and the game is a draw.

Can 50 moves survive when chess magazines around the world are struggling? Like the knight in Ikeda’s example shows, anything is possible. a

Geared up Giants Local paddlers win Dragon trifecta Mullumbimby Giants RLFC have scored themselves some much-needed customised team jerseys thanks to the Tooheys New sponsorship program, and the unwavering support of the Mullumbimby community. The Tooheys New Footy Fund is a program focused on supporting senior Rugby League and Rugby Union clubs in regional NSW. Pub patrons have been able to allocate reward points to their favourite participating senior footy club online. Once enough points are accrued, clubs can redeem them for new footy gear. Mitchell Lambert from Mullumbimby Giants RLFC says the Tooheys New Footy Fund campaign has been a fantastic way to get support-

ers engaged with the club. ‘We have always been grateful for the ongoing support from our fans that show up every week to cheer on the teams, come rain, hail or shine,’ said Mitchell. ‘Now their commitment has helped us get our hands on some of the much-needed gear. ‘In particular, we would like to give special thanks to our local sponsors, who have provided the club with incredible vouchers to redeem as many Footy Fund points as possible. ‘We would also like to thank the Billinudgel Hotel for their ongoing support of the team. We hope that everyone will continue to cheer on the boys next year when our players will be kitted out in their new uniforms.’

The Mt Warning Dragon Boat Club, which draws its crew from across the northern rivers, went from down under to the top of the word with a medal trifecta at the recent IDBF World Dragon Boat Club Crew Championships in Ravenna, Italy. The team arrived in Ravenna in early September and had qualified to compete in four categories. The training regimen for the last 12 months focused on a combination of land and water training and this increased very significantly in April after the club had competed in the state and national championships at Lake Kawana on the Gold Coast. The team won gold in the Small Boat Senior B Mixed 200 Metres and were exhilarated, as they beat the very competitive Russian team. The went on to win silver in the Small Boat Senior

B Mixed 500 Metres then, bronze in the Small Boat Senior B Women 500 Metre, which was an amazing race. ‘We considered all the races we paddled in were gold medal performances,’ says crew member Geraldine Lockyer. ‘In the Women’s 200-metre

Giants Jeremy O’Donnell, Jacob Francisco and Mitch Lambert in their new football gear.

The Byron Bay under-14 boys ended the basketball representative season by winning the North Coast Shield Basketball Competition with a clean sweep at the Lismore Basketball Stadium on Sunday. The boys displayed excellent teamwork and a great spirit of camaraderie against top-quality competition from Yamba, Lismore and Ballina. The team was ably led by Captain Nicholas Heathcote and coached by Nash Campbell and John Hale.

‘The standard of basketball in the region is growing and the decision by the shire to build a two-court stadium three years ago,’ said John Hale, ‘has created a wonderful opportunity for local kids to learn and master the great game of basketball.’ The team won each of their games by a comfortable margin: Byron v Lismore 48 / 21, Byron v Yamba 49 / 24, and Byron v Ballina 58 / 34.

Northern rivers locals with an interest in the environment, our region’s drinking water or rainforests and restoration should get along to the Big Scrub Rainforest Day 2014 on Sunday 12 October. Big Scrub Rainforest Day is an annual celebration of our rainforests and the natural environment where we live. The Big Scrub was once the largest expanse of subtropical rainforest in Australia and covered a roughly circular area of 75,000 hectares where presently Lismore, Ballina, Byron Bay and Mullumbimby are situated. Today, less than one per cent of the original Big Scrub remains. These fragmented pockets of subtropical rainforests are special places. More species of plants and animals are found here than in any other ecosystem in NSW. Now in its sixteenth year Big Scrub Rainforest Day is Australia’s largest annual landcare, environment and community event providing a focus for community involvement through education in a festival environment and this year incorporates the Rous Water Open Day at Rocky Creek Dam. It has a strong learning, social and family context. This year’s event is about promoting catchment health, restoring the Big Scrub Rainforest and protecting our region’s drinking water. The program features guided bird and rainforest walks, talks and workshops from some of Australia’s leading ecologists, tours of the Nightcap Water Treatment Plant, food, entertainment, stalls and environmental activities for the whole family. The 2014 event is presented by the Big Scrub Landcare Group and Rous Water with the assistance of local and regional community organisations and individuals. It has wide support from many landcare groups, local government, local businesses and state government agencies. Big Scrub Landcare and Rous Water wish to acknowledge the contribution of the wonderful presenters, stall holders, sponsors and supporters of this year’s event, and a special thankyou to the major sponsors, Rainforest Rescue and North Coast Local Land Services. Everyone is welcome. Entry is by gold coin donation. For more information visit bigscrubrainforest.org.au.

ry to is h f ie br a â&#x20AC;&#x201C; y a D b ru c S ig The B The Big Scrub Rainforest Day was the 1999 brainchild of Tony Parkes and Kelvin Davies. Tony was (and still is) the president of Big Scrub Landcare. He and Kelvin had founded Rainforest Rescue in that year and decided that the two organisation should put on an event that would be a celebration of the Big Scrub and would enhance the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness of the local Big Scrub rainforest, its beauty, its rich biodiversity, its tragic history and the need for the community to take the lead in restoration. The Booyong Recreation and Flora Reserve was selected as the venue for the ďŹ rst Big Scrub Day. Tony and Kel were able to get together a group of top ecologists who gave several presentations and led walks through the Booyong remnant. One marquee and several tents were erected on the cricket oval, as well as several stalls. The toilet facilities beside the cricket ground were very primitive and Tony still has vivid recollections of his wife on her hands and knees with a bucket and scrubbing brush trying to clean them up. The walks through the rainforest were a huge success. As one aim of the event was to raise money for Big Scrub Landcareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on-ground rainforest restoration program that had been launched the previous year, Tony and Kel decided to charge for the walks. However, the numbers overwhelmed the organisation and most people got in free! That was the ďŹ rst and the last time any charge was levied for Big Scrub Day activity. Ecologists leading the walks that day included Alex Floyd, the widely respected author of deďŹ nitive reference works on Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rainforests, and Rob Kooyman, who has since become one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rainforest researchers. The Big Scrub Day has since that ďŹ rst event been blessed by the willingness of top rainforest ecologists and biologists as well as leading bush regenerators to volunteer their time and share their expertise with the community at the Big Scrub Day. From the outset it has been a family day and National Parks people put on some childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

A creature of the forest to meet and touch at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. activities at the ďŹ rst event that were very popular. About 400 people attended that ďŹ rst Big Scrub Day, including landholders, students, rainforest professionals and other community members interested to learn about our magniďŹ cent local rainforest. ReďŹ&#x201A;ecting increasing community and landholder interest, the attendance at subsequent Big Scrub Days soared. The event was moved to Rocky Creek Dam in 2001, which proved very popular, and attendance reached more than 4,500 in 2005. This turned out to be the record attendance. The Big Scrub Day was to some extent a victim of its own success. The event and other activities of Big Scrub Landcare succeeded in raising community awareness of the Big Scrub and its restoration and as a consequence the attendance at the event started to fall away. Different venues were trialled but the decline was inexorable. Another issue common to most community organisations was volunteer exhaustion. It takes a huge amount of volunteer time and energy to run an event like the Big Scrub Day and unfortunately the same old faces tend to turn up year after year. Nine months ago, when the future of the event looked terminal, Rous Water came to the rescue. It was decided to merge the Big Scrub Day with Rousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open Day at Rocky Creek Dam. Rous generously provided excellent help with the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration, which injected new energy into the organisation of what promises to be a great 16th Big Scrub Rainforest Day.

Be Uplifted On 11â&#x20AC;&#x201C;14 Dec the Uplift Byron Bay Festival will return with an exciting lineup of international visionaries from many disciplines. One of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured presenters includes Lissa Rankin MD, a mindâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;body medicine physician and founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute and the New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself. Discouraged by our broken healthcare system and curious why some patients do everything â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but still wind up sick, Lissa set out to discover why some patients experience miraculous cures from seemingly incurable illnesses, while others remain sick even when they receive the best medical care. She researched what really makes people healthy and what predisposes them to illness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just diet, exercise and standard healthy behaviours, but everything else. What she uncovered in the mainstream medical literature led her to develop a type of medical practice she terms Whole Health Medicine, based on the scientifically proven healthy behaviours she shares in Mind Over Medicine. She is now leading a healthcare revolution to empower patients to heal themselves, while encouraging the healthcare industry to embrace and facilitate, rather than resist, such medical â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;miraclesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She is on a mission to merge science and spirituality in a way that not only facilitates the health of the individual; it also heals the collective. Join Lissa and other global visionaries at UPLIFT 2014. For more info visit www.uplift festival.com.

There is an increasing incidence in the number of people presenting with eczema (and dermatitis). Over the last 28 years, medical researcher Dr Tirant has identified two types of triggers that cause the condition to become active. Primary triggers (including medications, vaccinations, distress and viral infections) initiate the flare-up. Secondary triggers (including diet, chemical, hormonal and environmental sensitivities) may continue to exacerbate the condition. While utilising this valuable resource, practitioner Barry Donnelly BHSc CM ND WHM N is achieving exceptional results, for example: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (a lifelong sufferer) presented at the Good Skin Clinic with eczema. On his first visit to the clinic, Mickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 food-related triggers and reactions to different materials such as some found in his bedding and clothing. The initial improvements in Mickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin were seen within a week of starting treatment. By six weeks he was back to sleeping seven hours a night and his skin was increasingly clear. The Good Skin Clinic protocols for eczema and other skin conditions including psoriasis, pigmentation, acne, psoriatic arthritis, rosacea, ichthyosis, nail / fungal infections and pruritus (itching) are only available from the Good Skin Clinic. 1300 956 566 | barry@feelinggr8.net.au northernrivers.goodskincare.com.au

Cafes open to a dawning age of addiction Photos and listing by Matthew Michaelis

If coffee is like a narky relative, tapping you on the shoulder, yelling up the stairs or waking you like a toddler bouncing on the end of your bed, then face it, you’re a caffeine addict. Here’s a hit list to get your early fix. It’s my short-short list of the places serving a decent AM coffee if you’re desperately seeking one between 6 and 7.30am. There are plenty opening after this time, but the earlybird cafes are becoming more common than they were when I first moved to the area. Many of the cafe owners are here on a sea or a tree-change themselves and are buggered if they’re going to open at stupid o’clock for you or me. Thankfully, the marketplace is becoming crowded and there are a dedicated few that are seeing to this inner city demand. Swinging open your doors to the ‘dark-ringed’ set can be fraught with danger. can’t promise the following recommendations will be consistent with my experiences, nor can I promise that all of your favourites have been included.

This is the place I go when I want to disappear into my coffee. It’s unplugged, they leave you to it here –no wi-fi, just your cup. A good coffee fashioned by dab-handed baristas and produced by Moonshine, a boutique local roaster. Try to get your foot in the door later on in the morning and you’ll soon realise it’s not an easy affair. This crowded little place is attracting people with its friendly and colourful staff and the quality of their brew – so expect to wait if you’re tardy.

Is what you’re buying really ‘organic’? Alasdair Smithson is a local organic farmer and an owner of Munch Crunch Organics, an online organic fruit and vegetable delivery service in the Byron Shire. He has some tips that might come in handy when buying organic produce. whether a product is organic. All certified organic products must carry a symbol, logo or other trademark to show that they’re certified organic. Strict rules and a rigorous inspection system are in place and enforced by independent regulators to ensure a minimum standard is met. A business that labels its product as certified organic must ensure that its product is actually certified. Any claim that a product is ‘non-certified but nevertheless organic’, whether it makes reference to a standard or not, should be able to be substantiated. If a business claims to meet a particular standard, eg the organic one, it must ensure that this claim is true.

Tips when buying organic produce: Whether you’re a consumer, cafe, restaurant, shop or juice bar, when buying from a farmer who is selling a product as ‘organic’, follow this checklist: 1. Ask to see a current copy of their organic certificate. 2. The certificate should have a logo and a certification number on it from one of the seven independently Australian accredited

organic certification bodies. www.ofa.org.au/finding_organic_certifiers. 3. The organic farmer should only be selling what they’re licensed to sell on their certificate, eg vegetables. 4. The certificate and audit process happens annually so the organic certificate should be checked to ensure it is not past the expiry date. 5. If in doubt about the authenticity of the ‘organic’ certificate phone up the organic certification body shown on the certificate and ask them to verify it. – Alisdair Smithson

Consumers and procurers, when purchasing organic products, should be confident that what they are buying is actually genuinely organic. In the world of ‘greenwash’ (a term used to describe the spin used to make products seem environmentally friendly) that we now live in, many words are bandied about that imply something is healthy, environmentally friendly, sustainable, ethically produced, animal-welfare friendly, climate friendly, locally sourced etc. A genuine ‘local’ certified organic product is all of these things and more. Thankfully the ACCC is now there to support consumers who are not getting the real organic deal. Products labelled as ‘organic’ generally attract a premium price compared to those produced using artificial fertiliser, chemicals or pesticides and non-essential food additives or processing aids. Businesses that make ‘organic’ claims must be able to substantiate those claims. There is a voluntary Australian standard for growers and manufacturers wishing to label their products ‘organic’ and ‘biodynamic’ (AS 6000–2009). This standard is a useful reference point when determining

Scratch owner Greg Wilton at his hidden gem down Stuart St Laneway Photos Matthew Michaelis

Set up from Scratch Matthew Michaelis

People love finding hidden places. I know I do. I get no bigger thrill than from discovering an outof-the-way newbie. Look in the mirror today, and repeat this out loud: ‘I’m spoilt for choice and today I’ll try a new local food outlet’. It’s my mantra, and an affirmation to uncover these manifestos of others’ visions and skills. For me, finding the source of exciting locally made products is like finding a genie’s lamp; I just want to show my friends how clever the genie is. I recently found a wonderful gem, newly opened six weeks ago in Mullumbimby, and they’re producing some outstanding goods for spoilt foodies not unlike myself. Angie and Greg Wilton own Scratch Patisserie and are clearly pulling all the stops out in this business. They take eggs from their own free-roaming chickens, so when they say ‘organic eggs’, it’s very personal. The breads and pastries are made from organic ingredients, milk, flours and sugars, and

I’m guessing if they could, they’d refine the sugar at home. Scratch Patisserie isn’t a newcomer. They’ve been steady with their growth, nothing hectic or acting needy or in a hurry for outcomes. No, their approach to supply and demand has been smart – no overreaches. You’ll perhaps know they sell their range of organic pastries and breads in cafes and the like throughout Byron Shire and Mullumbimby, as well as at the Byron Farmers Market every Thursday and Mullumbimby Farmers Market every Friday. You may also know that they produce shining examples of bakery goods including pastries, sourdough, yeast breads, cakes, tarts, biscuits, gourmet sausage rolls, empanadas and a range of gluten-free items. What many may not know is that Scratch have set up a little hole in the wall. It’s as cute as a button and as quirky as any Parisian patisserie. Here you’ll find a retail and coffee place opposite their bakery in the very back of the lane down past the Colleen Reilly Optometrist in Stuart Street, Mullumbimby. The

IT’S BEEN QUITE A JOURNEY FOR SINGER/SONGWRITER MORGAN EVANS, WHO RELEASED HIS DEBUT SELFTITLED ALBUM BACK IN MARCH.

TALKING DRUMS WITH TAIKOZ AUSTRALIAN’S WORLD-ACCLAIMED TAIKO DRUMMING ENSEMBLE, TAIKOZ, ARE IN LISMORE THIS WEEK TO PRESENT A STUNNING NEW WORK: CRIMSON SKY FEATURING SATSUKI ODAMURA ON BASS. KOTO. With two shows and a workshop, this energetic and inspiring group has much to offer lovers of thunderous, visceral and ritualistic arts! Artistic director Ian Cleworth spoke with The Echo. Tell me about the inspiration for Crimson Sky. Crimson Sky is a program in two parts. The second half comprises just one 50-minute work, Toward The Crimson Sky. It was inspired by a beautiful haiku by Miura Yuzuru, which reads, ‘red dragonflies / flowing like a ripple / toward the crimson sky’. Even in such a short poem, the imagery is so powerful, which really got my creative juices going. Being an autumn poem (all haiku reference the seasons in some way or another) it has a tinge of the melancholy about it, which is evoked by the melody of Satsuki Odamura’s solo bass koto (a traditional Japanese zither-like instrument). The first half features three works by members of TaikOz – my virtuosic Of The Fields – a work recently featured on TaikOz’s tour of west coast USA; Anton Lock’s powerhouse Explorations – a veritable tour de force for drum-set soloist pitted against four taiko sets; and Tom Royce-Hampton’s Solace – a hauntingly beautiful meditation

for koto and shakuhachi solo, accompanied by delicate percussion and taiko. How do you use the drums to tell your story? In Toward The Crimson Sky the taiko play a really important role in creating a sense of drama and character. For instance, in the middle part of the piece, which correlates with the middle line of the haiku – ‘flowing like a ripple’ – three players perform on taiko that are placed sideways on a high stand. It’s an intensely physical way of playing the drums as the players throw their whole body into the rhythms and their arms move in mesmerising figures of eight – their visually beautiful circular movements really flow and ripple! Why do you think the drums are a powerful way to interpret the haiku? In a way, using the taiko is counter-intuitive – the sheer power and force of the drums is almost at odds with the delicacy of the haiku. But… the taiko are capable of really bringing the imagery to life. For instance, the high-pitched taiko always play in groups of four and act as a cluster of dragonflies.

From Newcastle to playing Nashville, and then taking home a swag of Country Music awards such as New Artist of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. Lovers of country music are in for a treat when they check out the bloke many are touting as being the next Keith Urban! Morgan, how did touring with acts such as Taylor Swift and Alan Jackson help lift your profile and expand your audience base? An opportunity to work in any way with an artist at the top of the game is always amazing. The Taylor tour was exceptionally crazy. We were playing 2,000-seaters and the noise from the crowds was deafening! The connections we made that tour pop up all over the place now, all these years later. The AJ tour was huge too, and probably had more impact for us because we had a couple of EPs out at the time. Bottom line is that artists like that are playing to big audiences and for them to share that audience with us and allow us to warm them up, well that’s just the highest of compliments. Why did you choose to record your debut album in Nashville? I have spent a lot of time there over the last three years. I first travelled there in 2007. Songwriters, musicians and studio folks from all over the world travel there and move there to work with the best in the biz! I have been fortunate enough to make some really great friends and great creative relationships there and it just made sense to do the record there. Jedd Hughes, an ex-pat Aussie, produced the record. He’s worked with Emmylou, Guy Clark, Keith Urban, Alison Krauss and just about everyone on some level. I felt I was in good hands! What did you set out to achieve with the album? I just wanted to make the best record I could. I wanted to try some new things and push my own boundaries. I wanted to record the best songs I could with the best vibe I could… In every recording experience I feel like I learn A LOT – especially working in that environment. I am very proud of what we came up with. I look forward to playing the songs every night.

MORGAN EVANS PLAYS THE BALLINA RSL ON FRIDAY. TIX AT THE CLUB. Tell me about the songs that made their way onto the recording. Were there any surprises along the way in the production process? There were a few songs that came to life in different ways; some that snuck on we didn’t expect to make it. One cool moment like that was tracking a song called The Cape. We had a guitar vocal and every time it played back I could hear a certain female voice. I texted Kasey Chambers from across the other side of the world and through the beauty of modern technology she lent her voice to the track. As you can imagine, that was, and still is, a buzz for me. What are the songs on the album about? Girls, life, love, loss, revenge, peace and the constant struggle with society’s expectations, to feel okay with devoting yourself to something you believe in. Tell me about Another Goodbye Kiss – most songs about toxic love are from a female perspective, so how does this one roll? That one girl that knows how to give you just enough rope to keep you coming back without actually giving you anything but another goodbye kiss… You have had a series of awards this year for CMC Music Awards – how has acknowledgement by the industry helped your music? Well, actually the cool thing about those awards is that they are 100 per cent fan voted! So that result is just incredible for us. I say thank you for that every night on stage. I can’t say it enough! What is your goal for the next year? We are releasing the album in Canada next year and plan on spending quite a bit of time overseas. That said, we have a heap of Aussie dates in place too and I’ll always be making regular stops in on the north coast of NSW! I have some great mates there and you need to make time for waves now and then! What should we expect for your show at the Ballina RSL? The best show we have ever played! Ha! It’ll be high energy, fun and well, I guess you’ll never really know unless…

PACKING IT

Every time our family goes away I have a meltdown. It’s the packing. Packing to leave is sometimes so exhausting that I need a holiday just to recover from the stress of packing. My husband says, ‘why do you get so worked up? I don’t get it. It’s just a few bags.’ This is said by a man who has clearly never packed for anyone but himself. Blokes have a much more casual approach to packing than women do. Men are happy with a t-shirt and a clean pair of jocks. Women, however, generally need to know that everything they need is on hand 24 hours a day. A bad pack can ruin any relaxing getaway. When we go away John generally starts packing about half an hour before we leave the house. Invariably when we arrive he’ll go ‘oh I forgot my undies’ or ‘I didn’t pack any shorts’ or ‘Do you think it will be a problem if I wear thongs in the restaurant?’ It takes all of my self-control to resist packing his bag as well. When he herds us into the car for a big holidaynight out, I must let go of my attachment to his being well dressed and accept that a t-shirt, Speedos and thongs should be enough for any woman.

I pretend I’m dining with an off-duty lifeguard. Not a middle-aged man in his jocks.

When women pack to go away it’s a mission. It generally starts a week or two ahead of time. This is part of advance planning. A woman will be mentally making notes of things she needs to get washed, ironed, mended, bought before she starts the pack. Packing isn’t just about what you take, it’s about what you leave at home, and how you leave your home. Before I go anywhere I clean out the fridge, the cupboards, clear the washing baskets, change the towels, empty the bins, clear the dishwasher, wipe out the sinks. When I come home from my relaxing holiday I don’t want to have to spend the first five hours cleaning the house or playing that fun family game ‘what the hell is that stench and where is it coming from?’ So as I pack I clean. I wipe. I dust. I empty. I organise. John watches me with a quiet look of masculine despair. Men can’t understand why anyone would get so worked up at the prospect of leaving for a week. I don’t think they can fathom why anyone would go to so much trouble to clean a house that they’re not in. I pack for everyone. Of course the girls can pack for themselves but they need constant prompting with ‘have you packed yet?’ Then you have to check, because although they’ve said Yes Mum,

it’s a lie, it means they just got a bag out. Then you have to perform surprise audits on what they actually bring and assess its appropriateness to the vacation. My kids never pack jackets. It’s why mums for time immemorial must always repeat the question ‘do you have a jumper?’ And they say ‘I’m not cold’. And you say ‘but it could get cold so grab one just in case’ and then ‘fucking hell, Mum, I’m not cold’. So then I pack them jumpers in my bag and when it gets cold and they’re turning blue I go ‘look what Mummy brought’ and I pull out jumpers and get a glow of satisfaction a girl gets when the universe confirms once again that she was Right! I pack for Ivy. Short sleeves, long sleeves, undies, pants, jammies, hat… shit, I forgot the hat. Covered shoes, thongs, sandals, beach dress. Sand buckets, spades, ball, dolls, paper, pencils, books, and her snuggle toy Pinkie. And DVDs. And the iPad. And the chargers. The chargers for the laptops, the iPhone 4, 5 and 6. The first aid kit. You can’t go away as a family of seven without a first aid kit. Panadol. Nurofen. Baby Panadol. Baby Nurofen. Stingose, sunscreen, asthma puffer. No-one is asthmatic, but you can never be too careful. Snake bandage. Probably overkill in an apartment, but snakes have holidays too, you know. Then I have to pack for the dog. His bed, his food, his snuggle toys. I pack beach umbrellas. Chairs. Food. Herbs. Tea. Cookbooks. I’m finally ready. I check the house. It’s perfect. The bags are perfect. We arrive at our holiday. And it’s perfect. Except I’ve forgotten one thing. To pack for me. Fucking perfect.

UTUNGUN PERCUSSION

CONT FROM P31 > Falls Music & Arts Festival Byron is an 18+ event. And just in case you need an extra kicker to get your arse into gear – Falls Festival have added Julian Casablancas & The Voidz to their already killer lineup! One of the most epic rock-filled artists of the last decade, and front man of one of the biggest bands of the last 15 years, The Strokes. With a resume running a mile long: occasionally lending vocals to the likes of Daft Punk, Pharrell or Dangermouse and his hugely successful solo career including 2009’s Phrazes For The Young and his brand-new release with beat-driven band The Voidz, which dropped this week – Tyranny. It’s not often that you’ll get the chance to catch this man in Australia, so don’t miss your chance at Falls! Locals’ tickets are still available through http://byron.fallsfestival. com.au/locals/.

UTUNGUN PERCUSSION PLAY AT DURRUMB

UL HALL ON FRIDAY

Legendary percussion dance band Utungun Percussion reunite to play GLO Dance Mullumbimby for the October full moon. UTUNGUNs are composed of an all-star percussion lineup: Greg Sheehan, one of Australia’s most renowned and respected percussionists, leads the group, with Matt Goodwin (Wild Marmalade, Mark Atkins Trio), Jamie Pattugalan (Gurrumul Yunupingu), and Matt Ledgar (Kangaroo Moon, Wild Marmalade) plus special guest Ben Walsh (The Bird). Drawing from many indigenous cultures from around the world they work the dance floor into a rhythmic frenzy. Prolific in the mid-90s they toured festivals nationally and internationally and now reunite for this rare one-off show, bringing their rhythmic magic to light up the dance floor. This Friday at Durrumbul Hall Mullumbimby, 8pm. Further info at www.GLOdance.com.

What have been the highlights for your troupe in the last 12 months? TaikOz has had a string of exciting projects over the past 12 months or so. Firstly, we presented the world premiere of Chi Udaka for the Sydney Festival – this was a collaboration with a group of South Indian classical dancers and their wonderful choreographer Anandavalli that explored themes of water and earth through movement, taiko, shakuhachi bamboo flute, cello and Indian vocals. And in June the group toured the USA for the first time. After gigs on the west coast, TaikOz ended up in LA for three performances at the World Taiko Gathering. Exciting stuff, as we got to meet and play with so many great players from all over the world. Now, we’re on the road with Crimson Sky, which is just as wonderful – it’s always a privilege to play our music for audiences all over Australia! What do you think is the greatest strength of TaikOz?

And some of the sounds they make are very insect-like… hard to imagine, but true! Apart from the taiko though, the bass koto plays many gorgeous melodies that provide a suitably autumnal flavour, as does the bamboo shakuhachi flute that appears throughout. There’s also a song for female voices and lots of colourful percussion – all of which go towards bringing the words of the poem to life. What is it do you think about haiku that has such powerful resonance? For a long time I’ve enjoyed reading haiku, and although it’s always been in English translation (my Japanese is not good enough to understand

the subtleties in the original language), I gain enormous satisfaction from the evocative imagery, the playfulness of the words and figuring out hidden meanings. A haiku’s very brevity makes it easy to delve into an anthology of poems, too – the great poets are so varied and skilful in their use of the form. How do you keep your players fresh and enthused when creating new production pieces? There’s one very special thing about TaikOz and that is the enormous energy, dedication and enthusiasm shown by all its members… anyone that sees one of our shows will see why!

Byron Music Society presents

Alchemy A Taste of Europe

TaikOz is made up of a diverse range of players. Our backgrounds encompass years of study and performance in traditional Japanese music, western symphonic music, contemporary music and jazz, as well as various forms of dance and martial arts. All of these things add to the overall mix of TaikOz’s performance and aesthetic. It was interesting to hear back from the players and audiences in the US who said that TaikOz has real musicality and a unique sound. Tell me about the workshop: who would benefit from this? What do you teach? Everyone can benefit from one of our workshops; age, experience, physical ability don’t come into

it! People often attend after a day’s work and feel a bit tired, but after an hour and a half of solid drumming, they walk out re-energised – everyone is very ‘bubbly’ when they leave. The thing about TaikOz’s workshops is that we not only exercise our bodies, but challenge people mentally, too (or rather they challenge themselves). I think people attain a real sense of achievement by the combination. However, I also have no doubt that the endorphins kick in at some point! We believe that everyone has rhythm. Relatively simple, but learned, tasks such as talking and walking require coordination and playing a rhythm on a drum is really just an extension of this notion. It’s our job as teachers to help each person discover that within themselves and for this reasons we see results quite quickly – after one session, in fact. However, like any skill, it requires dedication and hard work to perfect, which takes a lifetime. Nonetheless, one of the aims of our workshops is to have fun in our efforts. What should we expect from the show? Well, based on previous comments from audience members I can honestly say it will be some or all of the following: pounding rhythms, gorgeous melodies, beautiful handcrafted instruments, drama, excitement, intense physicality balanced with serene gentleness. Taiko is as much about seeing as hearing, so people will be thrilled with the spectacle and the sheer power of the drums. Performances are Friday and Saturday 7.30pm at Lismore City Hall. Bookings 1300 066 772 or norpa.org.au. Workshop is Friday 4–5.30pm. $15, limited spaces – bookings to 1300 066 772.

Byron Shire Echo archives: www.echo.net.au

ENTERTAINMENT Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very lush place. My husband and I went there after we got married. It was such a beautiful place to celebrate being together and the song I wrote (the title track of the album) was a celebration of that time and a wish for us that it would last. To me a place like that has a mystery.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

PLAY W THE B RIGHT AT EACH ON FR HOTEL IDAY

The first single release from the album is When Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Older, also a homage to lasting love. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My grandfather died just this weekend, and while it was obviously after the song was written, it was about the kind of relationship they have. I had seen both my grandparents stay together until the end, and now in my 30s I can see there is a point when you start to get older and life changes and there is so much that opens up at this age. I am certainly not advocating staying in bad relationships, but there is something magical about making a relationship last over that period.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last album was Aria-nominated The Moment back in 2012. Her offerings thus far have been impressive, with 2005â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parking Lots winning the Aria for Best Blues and Roots Album. This album offers a new direction, melancholy, sensitive and hard rocking all at the same time. So after 12 years of releasing music, how has Dyson evolved as a recording artist? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If anything I have become more willing to take risks. In the first three records I realised I was so scared of making mistakes that it suffocated me. I am so less afraid of that now, I am willing to experiment. That is the definition of creativity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control it, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force it all you can do is follow it down. It gets more and more exciting as I have the confidence now in my ability, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about how I am going to sound. Of course there is still the fear when you enter new territory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where it is leading, if it does feel like that though, I generally know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In a way you are not controlling it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the people you are working with, the mood you are in, the guitar you have that day. All those things create something unique that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to force; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique by the nature that every moment is unique.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

NOTHING BEATS

A DYSON

IDYLLWILD IS SINGER/ SONGWRITER ARIA-AWARDED ARTIST MIA DYSONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FIFTH STUDIO OFFERING. Named after a town not dissimilar one thinks to the spirit of Ms Dyson. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Idyllwild is just outside of LA, in the mountains. Where LA is desert, Idyllwild is very beautiful, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole other world. Steep mountains and fast-rushing rivers and lots of trees.

When it comes to songwriting Dyson has a disciplined approach. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I may have an idea or a melody here or there or I might record something on a voice memo. The real work for me is to write as a daily process. I do it in the morning. Occasionally I get lucky and a song comes out of the blue pretty well formed, but mostly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like taking the seed of an idea and working it into something. The chords and melody come first and lyrics are generally the last thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always great when the lyrics and melody come at the same time!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

intelligent communication with both – for example if others challenge your idea of what’s right, let them. This week’s lively, feisty full moon breathes fire into your Lion heart, revitalising future plans. Though try to hold off any big reveal till after the 24th.

is taking place in the way you do relationships. So be calm, be careful; be your wise, brave self. Above all, notice when you’re repeating behaviours that don’t serve you. TAURUS: October’s emphasis is on self-care and F discipline. Not easy when temptation’s everywhere: indulgent Venus whispering enjoy yourself, expansive Jupiter encouraging another helping, headstrong Mars and rule-breaking Uranus doing it their way. When midweek eclipse triggers important life choices what to do? Relax. Stay calm. Do your best.

GEMINI: Boredom’s your bête noir, but this week it’s highly unlikely. With your ruler Mercury in its third and final tricky retro-phase for this year, remember that written and verbal communications may be taken the wrong way. So slow down and take extra care expressing your thoughts and opinions.

CANCER: Home’s where the Cancerian heart is, and H during October even more so – especially with this

VIRGO: As your ruler Mercury leaves the sign of sweet J

talk for the sector of sealed lips, you’ll need to read between the lines of communication and listen for what people aren’t saying. Fortunately, all that internal personal work you’ve been doing will provide solid support for September’s Mercury retrograde.

Mars ditto. Making it even more difficult than usual to maintain equilibrium during the relationship-straining midweek full-moon eclipse. If rifts or splits occur, thirdparty mediation could offer a helpful reality check.

week’s full-moon lunar eclipse in your ground-zero base of operations. Game-changing Uranus is active here as well, but all shakeups and wakeup calls offer golden opportunities for resolving family matters.

erupt, know it’s a major turning point. Best operational modes? Adaptability, self-assessment and forgiveness. Don’t beat yourself up for past mistakes, but apology where appropriate could mend bridges.

MKO is unconcerned with following trends. MKO is a trend. MKO is a solo artist. MKO is a band. MKO balances old-school ideals that music should be deep, challenging, tuneful, soulful and syncopated, with an otherworldly, abstracted new-school spin. MKO truly has the voice of an angel. MKO can sing like a Disney fairy, a Bollywood princess or an R&B diva, all with her own trademark originality. MKO makes electric, eclectic, eccentric underground soul. MKO must be heard. Words are only words. MKO are putting Brisbane on the map of urban electronic soul in the same vein as Quandron, Little Dragon, AlunaGeorge and James Blake. Supported by Dried Spider.

CAPRICORN: When your ambitious agendas meet this N month’s pressures and restrictions, something’s gotta give. And that’s you, Caps. So ease up and be patient (but not stubborn) with this week’s missed messages and misunderstandings. While this time of groundbreaking change isn’t easy, exercise your leadership skills as the premier earth sign.

from another planet, here’s the deal: if you want to be understood, be understanding. Take care with the words you say, and what you write. Think twice before pressing send or post. PISCES: As this week’s erratic rhythms stir up memories or P regrets, you may reconnect with someone from your past. Or finally disconnect. Pleasurable, artistic, intimate Venus vibes offset disclosure of unexpected information that may be unsettling, upsetting or shocking. Hold off acting on it if possible till late October..

October’s push-pull dynamic is tugged by retro energy to review the past before moving forward. Suggested dance moves? Stay ﬂexible. Surrender to the current…

STRICTLY BALLROOM The next Crabbes Creek community film night is ‘Strictly Ballroom’ on Saturday 11 October when it will screen Strictly Ballroom (PG). Under-12s are free with and accompanying adult. Delicious $8 nachos dinner at 6pm, followed by the film at 7pm. Saturday at Crabbes Creek Hall, food from 6pm, film at 7pm.

INNER DRAMA QUEEN Introducing the skill/craft of acting, gaining self-confidence while making peace with your drama queen. A 10-week acting workshop, starts on Thursday at 7pm– 10pm, in Brunswick Heads. To act means to do. We pretend it means pretend, tired of pretending then act. Tony llord, known locally for being part of the australian theatre company, the tin shed team (as well as other antics), is facilitating the course. Each week will progress from the last, beginning with the self or the blank canvas, finishing with a showcase performance where the participants will decide who the invited audience will be. Included in the fun and games, players will gain experience in auditioning for film/tv as well as the channels to take to gain an income.

Having recently toured Japan and Australia, including a slamming live set at Bluesfest 2013, the Australian baroque-pop goddess has won several industry awards including the Queens Ball Performer of the Year and NCEIA Best Filmclip. Julia Rose has become well known for her soaring three-octave vocal range combined with her intricate bass playing and songwriting.

Theatre was used to reflect the community’s behaviour for we could not always see it all; to reveal our blind spots we need a mirror. This may be a seed in creating a community theatre group to reflect the authentic concerns of the locals. Cost is $15 per week or $120 upfront. Numbers limited, contact tony: 0403 367 688 or llordtone@gmail.com.

The evening will also feature Western Australian blues and roots artist TOBY, following her massive four-month tour of Europe playing sellout shows and festivals. Toby’s voice has been described as powerful and dynamic with a fun live set crossing a multitude of genres including blues, roots, country and folk rock. The Eltham Hall has steadily gained a reputation as one of the best little pop-up venues on the north coast, presenting a variety of family-friendly events featuring local and international talent in a beautiful hall. Come and share the evening with these two stunning artists as they invite you into their musical world.

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.

Tickets are on sale online at www.elthamarts. iwannaticket.com.au. Doors open 7pm and it’s BYO so grab yourself a six-pack and get ready for a very special evening.

THREE WOMEN ARTISTS WHO LOVE PLAYING ON THE EDGE

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

Playing Not Romping Oksana Waterfall Paper size: 76cm x 56cm Media: Graphite & thread

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 and bookings essential phone 6684 3446.

GONE GIRL

An old anecdote has it that David Lean was being pressured to abbreviate one of the extended shots in Lawrence of Arabia. His editor argued that it would push the audience’s patience to breaking point. Lean’s response was to lengthen the take – to make the punters earn their reward. It came to mind in this quiet and uncomplicated but wonderful Georgian film. Schoolgirl Eka (Lika Babluani), a doe-eyed beauty, takes what appears to be a swig of a fortifying drink and proceeds to perform a traditional dance at a rowdy wedding reception. Instead of cutting the scene to ‘sound bite’ brevity, director Nana Ekvtimishvili has it last for a couple of minutes, and the effect is mesmerising. Neither is it the only time that she ushers the viewer into the sort of contemplative mindscape rarely visited by cinema these days. This movie starkly exemplifies how story is all important and that the sophistication of art and artifice can unintentionally distract from it.

I had been waiting so keenly to see this. The book was of the ‘can’t put down’ variety and the prospect of reliving it on the screen was a juicy one. Halfway through, however, I realised that my enjoyment had been blunted because I knew everything that was about to happen, which makes it impossible to be fully immersed in what is a classic thriller – it was like watching a footy replay. In writing the script, Gillian Flynn has made virtually no changes to her best-selling novel (for no obvious reason the black defence lawyer is now a man rather than a woman), even lifting some passages of dialogue directly from the page to the screen. It is a dark and discomfiting mystery that sheds a brutal light on not just the way that public perceptions are so shallow and easily manipulated, but also, most scathingly, on how, as individuals, we can be entirely self-serving, deceitful and, ultimately, unknowable. The movie also has a shockingly visceral scene linking sex with death that you won’t forget in a hurry.

With a mostly hand-held camera, next to no mood-making music and free of diversionary special effects, we become involved in the mundane events surrounding Eka and her friends and family on the dismal outskirts of Tbilisi. Squabbles erupt at bread queues, men get drunk and have screaming rows with their wives, unemployed youths with nothing else to do hassle young women. Like a piece of chattel, Natia, a relative of Eka, is forced into a marriage of convenience. Simmering tensions come to the boil when the handsome fellow whom she loves reappears on the cheerless streets. The atmosphere is fraught throughout, for there is a pistol that is bound to come into play at some point. Underpinned by Eka’s urgent need to see her imprisoned father (the theme of a child seeking a parent resonates with the outstanding Russian film of recent times, The Italian), Eka shows wisdom beyond her years in dealing with the drama that engulfs her and Natia. Straightforward and beguiling, it is a tale beautifully told.

The perfect marriage of Nick (Ben Affleck) and Amy (Rosamund Pike) starts to unravel when circumstances force the couple to re-locate from New York to Nick’s native Missouri. Silvertail Amy is a fish out of water in her new surrounds, while Nick becomes increasingly aware that the bar set for him by Amy is too high – they are living a lie. Out of the blue one morning, Amy disappears and Nick is suspected of foul play. The complex structure of the novel, employing flashbacks and jumps from the search and investigation to Amy’s diary entries and whereabouts is seamlessly handled by director David Fincher, although I found the plot-points a little more far-fetched than I’d thought them to be in the reading. Essentially, it is Amy’s story and Pike does a brilliant job of portraying her multifaceted, driven personality, while Affleck’s perceptiveness adds flesh to the bone of a character who was initially a secondary player. If neither of them is likeable, both are uncomfortably true. Unmissable.

CINEMA XTRA

The Lavazza Italian Film Festival screening at Palace Byron Bay Cinema from 9 to 15 October promises to be a wildly exuberant celebration of Italian culture, with a program of 16 films that run the gamut from drama to comedy, romance to adventure. This year’s opening night film Marina is a delightful biopic that tells the true story of Rocco Granata, the much-loved singer, songwriter and accordionist, from his early life as a child whose father left the poverty of southern Italy to work as a miner in Belgium, to Rocco’s emergence as a worldwide musical phenomenon with his 1959 song Marina, one of the biggest international hits of that era. The cinema will be serving drinks and appetisers prior to and after the film, while patrons at the after-party will also be entertained by local musician Luke Vassella. Palace film festival closing night films are often cinema classics and this year that slot will be amply filled by Marriage Italian Style, Out of the Blue, Darker Than Midnight, Incompresa and Quiet Bliss. Lavazza Italian Film Festival will screen at Palace Byron Bay Cinema on Thursday and run till Wednesday 15 October Full program details and ticket information available at www.italianfilmfestival.com.au, or at Palace Byron Bay box office.

Seen at Ballina/ Byron Gateway Airport by over 350,000 people who pass through. To be seen here and throughout our shire, nation & world join us for 2015. Â

This week Mulllum Music Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official programs hit the streets and Backlash suggests one of the more interesting events actually happens in the lead-up to the festival and has very little to do with music. The Youth Training Station starts this week and is a series of TED-style talks for teenagers. Check it out at www.mullummusicfestival.com â&#x20AC;&#x201C; click on the Youth Training Station page under Cool Stuff. Q Q Q Q

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in what the proposed Sculpture Walk for Mullum is about, then you can check out the maquette â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk for model, from the Italian machietta for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;little spotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and development application notes in the window of Stewarts Menswear in the main street. Mostly it looks like brightly coloured poles heading down a pathway. And big it up for Stewarts Menswear, which hosts all kinds of little displays in its shopfront. Q Q Q Q

The big question of the week is: does a man who regularly wears budgie smugglers have the right to tell women that wearing a burqa is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;confrontingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? To his credit, our prime monster has asked the speaker of Parliament House, Browyn Bishop of the confronting bouffant, to reverse the decision to confine burqa-wearing women behind glass in the public gallery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as if that would deter any serious terrorist. Q Q Q Q

Another cosmic event is upon us. A total lunar eclipse is happening this Wednesday and our local telescopists Marie and Phil invite you to join them at Brunswick Heads to

52 October 7, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

watch the shadow of Earth cover the full moon. The free viewing is at about 8pm, weather permitting, at The Terrace near the sound shell. More details 0413 779 223 or www.starrynight.com.au.

Both the LibNats and Labor have realised that keeping CSG out of the northern rivers is a good ploy, at least until after the state election date on March 28, 2015. After that, all promises are writ in water. Remember the rail link the major parties promised? For serious psephologists, the ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pundit Antony Green
