PAGE 18 – 20

NSW Labor and the Greens are putting pressure on the coalition government to explain how the planned Byron Central Hospital in Ewingsdale will operate if its surgical services are outsourced to the private sector. It comes after the coalition announced recently that it is undertaking ‘a market sounding process’ to determine whether there is interest from private providers to deliver surgical services at the facility. It’s something that health minister Jillian Skinner’s office said is a common and long-standing arrangement, despite concerns from the Byron Shire Community Consultative Committee and Byron Council. Labor MPs Linda Burney, Walt Secord and Justine Elliot were in Byron last Friday to support candidate for Ballina Paul Spooner in the

pledge that if elected they would keep it in public hands, ‘with no privatisation of surgical services’. Mr Secord said the Nationals ‘created the disastrous model of the private Port Macquarie Hospital which had to be purchased by the state government. Furthermore, premier Mike Baird says he wants to see privatisation of hospital services,’ Mr Secord said. Labor is also attempting to force the coalition to release all documents related to the development, ‘to find out the National Party plans for Byron Central Hospital’, Mr Secord told The Echo.

Political point scoring But Greens MLC and former mayor Jan Barham instead accused Mr Secord of trying to score political points and is spreading misinformation. continued page 3

Cr Hunter plans to expand his transport terminal

Myocum residents on Pinegroves Road are again bracing themselves for more plans by their high-profile neighbour. Deputy mayor and Nationals Party member Alan Hunter has confirmed with The Echo he intends to lodge a a section 96 application with Council to expand the permitted uses for his transport terminal at his farm in Myocum. He told The Echo the plans are ‘to alter one of the conditions of the consent that impacts on the farm-related traffic in terms of the number of vehicles over four tonnes unladen. Currently the condition

potentially prevents us from moving any cattle, stock feed and other farm supplies onto or from the farm by truck,’ Cr Hunter said. Council’s planning review committee will determine if the application is to be determined by staff or councillors next week. Relations have been strained for some time between Cr Hunter and his Pinegroves Road neighbours after he sought to establish a transport terminal at the end of the quiet road. But councillors passed it in May this year despite the proposal being slammed by town planner Graham Meineke, who was employed by

residents to defend their road. He said the staff report ‘was deficient, as was the application.’ Resident Angus Way told The Echo at the time, ‘We struggled with how a transport terminal could be approved without a traffic study or a noise impact statement.’

Traffic concerns At the time, a foreshadowed motion with restrictions by Cr Hunter’s fellow team members, Crs Woods and Cubis, saw the application gain unanimous support (Cr Spooner was absent). But resident Gowan Paton has

slammed Mr Hunter’s new proposal, suggesting the councillor is ‘indirectly aiming at continuing filling his many storage sheds that he has near his home, which will create a huge amount of traffic again.’ ‘Apart from the traffic issue my very big concern is a terrible accident will occur on the very steep descent outside my home where children play regularly.’ ‘The very sad thing about this situation is that Mr Hunter originally told us he was building a farm storage shed and denied that he was starting up an illegal storage business which has left all of the residents not

banking

able to trust him. ‘We have a wonderful, supporting community in Pinegroves Road and the very person one would hope to be supportive and caring towards his neighbours is a councillor who appears to not have any care towards his fellow neighbours.’

No idea it was illegal But Cr Hunter defended his operations, telling The Echo, ‘For the last ten years I have been bringing in farm produce from other areas for storage, on-farm use and sale to local businesses. I have never denied continued on page 2

North Coast news daily:

Terminal plans ruffle feathers Traffic changes at Pacific Highway, Ewingsdale From Friday 24 October 2014 the Pacific Highway southbound offramp at Ewingsdale will be temporarily diverted onto the western lane of Woodford Lane, 500m north of the current exit. This temporary traffic diversion will remain in place for about 12 months to allow the upgrade of the southbound off-ramp behind barriers. This diversion will minimise delays and potential queue lengths. Roads and Maritime Services appreciates your patience and apologises for any inconvenience.

continued from page 1 [having] a storage business but I had no idea that what I was doing was illegal. ‘I have since obtained council approval to correct any of the past issues. ‘Is it reasonable to expect others to monitor the safety of their children when they play unsupervised on a public road? ‘Although the steep descent means trucks are necessarily descending slowly, less than 40km/h, at no time should any children be allowed to play regularly unsupervised on a public road. ‘In fact this neighbour’s children are often playing on our farm with their friends, other neighbours, as do our grandchildren. ‘The only concern any neighbour could have is passing traffic, and to this end I am applying to cap truck movements to something reasonable for the ongoing farm business. The only requirement for the neighbour is to supervise their children when playing on the public road, if they should ever be in that position. ‘This issue highlights a much broader one across the shire, where long-standing farm operations interface

with the new residential urban sprawl. Either we have to accept the need for farms to be respected as businesses managing commercial realities with environmental and social restraints, or have them also dissected into residential allotments. ‘It seems there is an expectation by some that no matter where we live, everything around us should comply with just how we want it to be. I think it can get a bit over the top – this neighbour has told me he objects to the public use of the public road. ‘I have never denied storage, after all that is what sheds are for, nor have I denied a business intent, after all that is what farms are for. If that means I can’t be trusted, then so be it.’

Rugby stars scorch the turf

Byron Bay Rugby Union Club staged a cracker of a weekend for its 25th annual Byron Bay 7s tournament. Teams from around the nation came to compete and were joined by competitors from New Zealand, Fiji and Samoa. While the competition was fierce, there was a lot of

camaraderie and fun; as well, the teams put on first-class entertainment for the crowds. The Ozboks took out the men’s A grade competition while the Samoans took the final in the women’s A grade. Photo Jeff Dawson Q See Sharon Shostak’s video at

Mullum chamber supports multi-use rail corridor Multi-use of the region’s rail corridor has been supported by the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce, despite a motion being passed at a recent Council meeting indicating it ‘fully supports’ changing the use for a rail trail. A multi-use rail option was voted down by Cr Sol Ibrahim’s team 5–4. Chamber secretary Obi McDonald-Saint said, ‘The Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce recognises that a public transport system designed for the benefit of locals and tourists will have long-

term economic, social and environmental benefits to our whole community.’ ‘The spine of a such a system is the rail corridor with rail services and we do not support anything that diminishes the possibility of this. We regard bikes and walking as vital to the system and support their integration into the system as a whole.’

Trail bill defeated Meanwhile a NSW private members bill by Labor’s Mike Veitch to ‘transfer rail corridors to community organi-

sations for use as recreational rail trails’ was voted down last week, with the Greens, National and Shooters parties opposed. A spokesperson for Dr Mehreen Faruqi MLC (Greens) told The Echo that he believes the reason it was voted down was that the coalition (Liberal and Nationals) want to present their own bill to parliament. ‘But for Nationals MP Don Page to get this through before retiring, it would need to pass both houses by November 19,’ he said.

Local News Youth housing services merge Byron Bay Youth House has merged with other regional providers, The Family Centre and St Joseph’s Youth Service. ‘The Going Home Staying Home (GHSH) reforms have clearly been a game changer for many of the smaller organisations that have provided housing to young people throughout NSW,’ Neroli Jager, president of the Byron Bay Youth House said. While the changes have ‘meant a reduction in funding for the Byron Shire,’ Ms Jager was optimistic about the quality of services for the region. ‘The reforms will provide a better balance between prevention, early intervention and crisis support and increase the numbers of young people who can be supported.’ The final AGM and farewell will be held at the Byron Services Club on Tuesday November 11 at 5pm.

Shenanigans were the order of the day in Railway Park last Sunday to highlight the alarming path our federal government is taking us on. Co-organiser Harsha Prabhu said the day was devoted to debunking PM Tony Abbott’s obsession with burqas, bad terror legislation, and bombing campaigns which are all to the detriment of spending on social services. But it wasn’t all serious; the day included laughter yoga, standup comedy, live music, belly dancing and death-defying feats with a chainsaw by the Space Cowboy.

Australian icon and bushranger Ned Kelly trumped a lineup of women dressed in hijabs to take out the inaugural ‘Terrorismadeup’ award, a reference to Oliver Buckworth’s recent doodle which resulted in his being offloaded from a flight to the Gold Coast. Activist and co-organiser of the 1973 Aquarius Festival, Graeme Dunstan, told the crowd that both the federal Labor and coalition parties are US government-approved, and we are part of a global western economy which relies largely on the industrial military complex.

Byron Central Hospital’s services questioned continued from page 1

‘I understand that Port Macquarie Hospital was already fully privatised, so it is not relevant,’ she told The Echo. ‘It is my understanding that even with a private surgery model, the public access to surgery is guaranteed, but a more detailed explanation of how it would be delivered and function is a priority that the

current government needs to explain to the community.’ ‘It is also vital that the community is aware of the enormous commitment of locals who have served on committees for two decades to ensure that the Byron Shire community receives the health services it deserves.’ On October 16 she told Parliament, ‘Until February

From left, Justine Elliot, Linda Burney, Paul Spooner and Walt Secord at the hospital site.

2014, architectural plans that were shown to community members – who had served for more than 20 years on committees discussing the delivery of a new hospital – included surgery services.

Lack of consultation ‘There has been a lack of consultation and notification about this process.’ And questions from Ms Barham to NSW health minister back in September are yet to be answered. One included, ‘Why are public surgical facilities no longer included in the plan despite many years of commitment by governments that the upgrade would include surgical facilities?’ Ms Barham also slammed Labor because, while in government for 16 years, ‘it did not deliver an outcome,’ for the hospital. ‘After extensive design and consultation pro-

cess for over a decade, the ALP then abandoned [its] plans and proposed a Central Coastal hospital in Ballina. ‘Another exhaustive process was then required to retain our shire’s hospital services. Local MP Don Page (Nationals) has been a strong advocate for the delivery of the hospital and now we at least have a commitment to build.’

Mayor concerned Meanwhile mayor Simon Richardson said at Council’s last meeting he has serious concerns about the hospital development. They include sewerage, traffic impacts, access, parking and noise, and would be detailed in council’s submission to the government.

Local News If speaking is silver, then listening is gold – Turkish proverb The focus of this year’s National Children’s Week (October 18–26) is ‘The child’s right to speak and be heard’. It’s included as Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children, and local educator/ counsellor Veronica Sandall says it’s a great time to reflect on how much we, as adults, listen to children. ‘Since children and young people comprise over 27 per cent of Mullumbimby’s population (2011 Consensus Quickstats), we probably should be listening to their views as much as the adults,’ she said. ‘I often come across troubled relationships between children and adults.

Mullumbimby Pre-School students Lola and Jada, who take part in a weekly listening circle. Photo Hans Lovejoy

‘An important part of the equation for speaking is about being heard; for others to listen and take seriously what is being said. Often simply an ability to actively listen has played a key role in

repairing these relationships. She says thoughts shared by some local children will be on display from October 22 in the window of Stewart’s Menswear on Burringbar Street in Mullum.

Helena helps launch Russell Brand’s new book Local social and environmental activists, Helena Norberg-Hodge and John Page, are travelling overseas on another adventure. The producers of the Economics of Happiness film and conference series say they will be ‘meeting up with three of the world’s most dynamic and inspirational thought leaders.’ They include renowned social commentator and Occupy Wall Street spokesperson Chris Hedges, who will be one of the speakers at their international symposium in New York

(‘Voices of Hope in a Time of Crisis’). Helena says, ‘Others include Beppe Grillo, whose grassroots 5-Star movement burst onto the political stage in Italy at the last election, taking more than half of Berlusconi’s vote.’ Helena says she has also been invited to London to help launch activist comedian Russell Brand’s new book, Revolution. Brand says his book explores anarcho-syndicalism, or the theory of revolutionary industrial unionism. For more visit theeconomicsofhappiness.org.

Parklands study released Results of this year’s economic impact study for Yelgun’s North Byron Parklands, which hosts Splendour and Falls festivals, have been released. Parklands media spokesperson Viv Fantin says the report was prepared by RPS Australia East and revealed that the two events generated $41.4 million in economic output for the region, with Byron Shire accounting for $24.1 million of this economic output. ‘The events combined generated 22,900 room-night stays in Byron Shire accommodation and 6,125 room nights in other parts of northern NSW (not including camping onsite at Parklands).’

308 jobs created Ms Fantin said that importantly, 308 equivalent fulltime (EFT) jobs were created. ‘Of these positions created, Byron Shire residents filled 99 EFT jobs while an additional 34 positions were filled by northern rivers residents. Parklands management also claim over $43,000 has been provided to community organisations this year and so far a total of $400,000 has been donated overall.

Struck twice by cancer: Ian’s story Local environmentalist and former Byron Shire councillor Ian Hosken went through the hoops dealing with cancer, only to find out recently he had to face up to another one. ‘The second cancer took me completely by surprise,’ says Ian. ‘I was over in northwestern Australia, travelling around and camping heaps. ‘I had been getting some stomach pains on and off for a couple of months but nothing too serious, just a few niggles here and there which felt a bit like something a good poo would fix. ‘I came back to the east coast to help my sister paint her house. I didn’t have too much energy and felt like I was still tired from the drive back but how long does it take to recuperate from a bit of a drive? ‘One night after a couple of weeks, I went to bed feeling fine and was woken with excruciating gut pains, my stomach was blown up like a ball and tight as a drum. Something was obviously not good. ‘I was taken from Mullum hospital to Tweed by ambo and later that day, as an emergency procedure, because they thought my intestine could burst, they removed a section of my bowel that had been blocked by a growth. ‘I was pretty optimistic that was all it was.’

Stage-3 tumour ‘After ten days or so I got the results from pathology which confirmed my worst fears. It showed the growth was a stage-3 tumour that had escaped through the bowel wall and had infected a couple of lymph nodes. ‘The point is that if I’d had a colonoscopy six months to one year earlier, then the operation would possibly have been the end of the story. ‘Firstly, the operation would have been way sim-

ventable, through lifestyle choice, or are treatable if detected early. Like me, many men think that they are bulletproof and avoid following up issues around their health.

pler, possibly requiring keyhole surgery, and secondly, I wouldn’t be faced with having chemotherapy to mop up any rogue cells lurking around. ‘The first round of chemo gave me massive chest pains for half a day. I was rushed from Tweed emergency ward to John Flynn Hospital for an angiogram as they suspected I was having a heart attack. ‘Evidently I was one of a small percentage of people in whom this particular drug can trigger heart attacks. ‘The oncologist said that he thought that I shouldn’t continue down that path as there is no point in treating cancer if you die of a heart attack. ‘This news was very different from what I expected. On hearing it I felt a load lift from my shoulders and I walked out of his office feeling much lighter. ‘I feel grateful that I live in a country that has a really good public health system – which this current government would love to dismantle – and grateful for the support that I have received.

Local News SCU public advocacy course under attack Chris Dobney

Southern Cross University lecturer Aidan Ricketts has hit back at attacks from the big end of town on courses such as the one he teaches on activism and constitutional rights. On Wednesday last week The Australian (News Ltd) published an article titled ‘Degrees in activism put brake on growth’, in which Murdoch staffers Sarah-Jane Tasker and Paul Garvey questioned the heads of some of Australia’s largest fossil-fuel companies about the courses.

They included representatives from Shell, Rio Tinto and even Whitehaven Coal, which has been the subject of an ICAC investigation and whose Maules Creek coal mine is one of the most controversial in the country. Unsurprisingly, the businessmen were unimpressed by the existence of the courses, with Shell chairman Andrew Smith describing the graduates as ‘university students with degrees in activism’. ‘Challenging decisions will face more effective campaigns of public outrage, some of it

based on confected outrage whipped up by university graduates armed with degrees in activism,’ Mr Smith told the newspaper. ‘But we cannot allow these dynamics to halt Australian progress.’ It’s not the first time Mr Ricketts has come under attack for running the public interest advocacy course. A gas lobby group launched a similar broadside against him back in 2012. But he believes the reaction by big business only highlights the value of the course. ‘It is certainly passing the screen test if Shell thinks there’s an outbreak of democracy in Australia,’ he told The Echo. ‘Large multinationals like Shell benefit greatly by employing university graduates as professional lobbyists that stalk the halls of all the parliaments in Australia and they have millions of dollars to do-

Activism is the new black Throughout history there are examples of rich people who contributed to the good of society and to the safety of persecuted minorities. But by and large the improvement of the human condition can be put down to individuals who actively fought – either with pitchfork in hand or through pushing for legislation – for human rights such as freedom from slavery and universal suffrage. (And let’s not forget scientists who through technological breakthroughs brought about better working and living conditions.) So it’s just a tad galling when vastly overpaid corporate executives of global corporations, whose main concept of social welfare is keeping their shareholders happy, take aim at an academic lecturing on public advocacy and constitutional rights. This happened last week when Southern Cross University lecturer Aidan Ricketts became the target of companies such as Shell and Rio Tinto – with a bit of help from the Murdoch press, of course. The north coast is lucky to have a course explaining the means by which democracy can be defended. It is the mark of a civilised society that it allows activism against the decisions of government bodies and the naked ambitions of multinationals. You can bet that if global pirates with the ear of well-fed politcians had their way unrestrained, there would soon be a form of feudalism in which the serfs had to pay for the privilege. And now with global warming a present threat – even the Pentagon has whipped up a disaster strategy – every citizen has a cause which will demand his or her attention. Activism is not only the new black; it is a necessity. Michael McDonald

here are times when our prime minister gets mugged by reality. But it doesn’t mean that he has to like it. He has, reluctantly, accepted that there is nothing he can do to prevent Vladimir Putin from attending the G20 summit in Brisbane. The rest of the world (and in particular the heavies, Barack Obama and Angela Merkel) has spoken. And this gave way to his petulant threat to shirtfront the Russian president – we bet he will, or perhaps he bets he will. Well, I can’t speak for him, but I’ll bet he won’t. In a way it is a pity; a barechested bout or two of punch and judo would certainly liven up what is likely to be predictable sort of talk fest. However, a spokesman from Putin has said dismissively that there is no likelihood of confrontation between the two – no appointment is scheduled, and the clear implication is that that none will be. Like the weekly Skibereen Eagle of County Cork in the 1860s, Abbott’s portentous and pretentious warning ‘we warn the Tsar of Russia’ seems destined to be treated with disdain. Julie Bishop, whose more courteous and measured approach to Putin was both more conciliatory and more productive, will probably be the end of it. But this, in spite of Abbott’s major preoccupation, was the sideshow. The main event at the G20 looks more likely to be whether or not climate change gets a guernsey and here again it appears that Abbott is on a loser. Obama and the Europeans have announced they are on board, and China’s Xi Jinping is bound to want his two yuan worth if things get interesting.

Abbott wants to limit any discussion to ‘energy efficiency’, but it is almost certainly going to range more widely, and will, to our prime minister’s discomfiture, likely include emission targets and, by implication, their effects on fossil fuels – coal. Abbott has rediscovered Australian coal not only as an economic panacea, but as some sort of secular sacrament. At the opening of the opening of the Queensland Caval Ridge mine, he proselytised that coal was not only essential for prosperity, both at home and abroad – it was

cally feasible. It will neither be simple nor painless, but the change is inevitable. The majority can see this, even in Australia; the latest move came from the Australian National University to remove fossil fuels from its investment portfolio, to the fury of Abbott and his mates. Just stupid, scoffs Abbott. Sure, just stupid like the Rockefeller family, who have done the same – not purely on moral grounds, but because they think is makes financial sense. They can see that coal prices are falling, demand uncertain and restrictions

The main event at the G20 looks more likely to be whether or not climate change gets a guernsey. by Mungo MacCallum ‘good for humanity’. It appears that he is in a humanitarian mode at present; dropping bombs in the Middle East is after all, a humanitarian mission, although not, of course, to those they kill. But coal? In the early days of the industrial revolution it may have been seen as some kind of endless resource leading to a promise of Utopia, but that was a century and a half ago, and even then the critics saw drawbacks: William Blake wrote of ‘dark, satanic mills’ and the miners – and especially the children – who laboured in the pits would hardly have considered their conditions humane. These days we like to think that we have moved on; at best coal is a necessary evil, an energy source whose limitations and adverse consequences are well known and which should be replaced as fast as economi-

likely to apply more widely, such as the Chinese tariff on dirty coal. And they foresee renewables as the future. These, of course, are derided by the Australian government; treasurer Joe Hockey not only hates windmills as eyesores, but praises Australian coal as the cleanest in the world – well, all things are relative and some bits are less dirty than other bits, but none of it is exactly Persil white. And Hockey rebuts the premise that Australia is, per capita, the world’s worst polluter. Hello, treasurer – which part of per capita do you not understand? Hockey explains that we have a big land area and a small population, but that’s precisely the point. And we sell our exports not because they are clean but because they are profitable – for the moment. Abbott and Hockey are not just swimming against the tide; they are

pretending it does not exist, or worse still, ordering it to turn back. And we all know the result of that exercise. But on a wider front, Abbott is still clinging to his widely discredited direct action policy, and hoping that something will turn up – if global warming exists, then it will be fixed by technology, or maybe by God. And of course we can always hope it doesn’t exist; since 1998 there is some evidence that surface temperatures have plateaued (though not fallen) so there is really no cause for alarm. But the problem with the so-called global warming pause, spruiked by the sceptics beloved of The Australian, is that it doesn’t make sense; the heat has to go somewhere. The sun is still pumping energy out, and increasingly it is being trapped by the growing levels of carbon dioxide and other emissions in the upper atmosphere. This is the most basic and irrefutable science, not some hypothetical model. The extra heat is not going away; the question is just how and where in the land, sea or air it is being stored – possibly in the deep oceans, possibly through some other method we have not yet discerned. The pause may be no more than statistical blip, that will come back and burn us when we have been lulled into the security desperately hoped for by the miners and Abbott. As the UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has pointed out, this is the big challenge: the one that will go on after ISIS, Ebola and the other crises. This is reality. And it will need a little more than gung-ho rhetoric, wishful thinking and shirtfronting to deal with it.

Letters

Open letter to the planning minister Dear Ms Goward, I met with you as part of the Byron Residents’ Group and presented you (verbally, visually and in writing) with a review of your department’s growth projections. The information I provided you was explicit in proving that your department’s 2013 growth projections, as included in the Far North Coast Residential Submarket Analysis of September 2013, did not, in any way, justify your department’s claim in November 2013 that their West Byron proposal is a potential State Significant Site because of a need to alleviate ‘pressures on housing supply’. I consider that your department’s decision to proceed with West Byron in light

of this report was fraudulent. I laboured the fact with you that your department’s 2009 fanciful estimates that Byron’s ‘population would increase by 11,400 people, at a rate of 1.5 per cent per annum, from 2006 to 2031’ (which were initially used to justify West Byron’s SSS status) had been proven wrong by the 2011 census and revised down in the Residential Submarket Analysis 2013 to a ‘population increase of 1,675 people, at a rate of 0.2 per cent per annum, from 2006 to 2031’. I also informed you that (according to ABS census data) ‘Over the five years 2006–11, Byron Shire’s population grew by 587 people (1.9 per cent), and the number of

dwellings approved grew by 1,019 (7.8 per cent)’. I was thus shocked to find that you too are now misrepresenting the Residential Submarket Analysis 2013 in letters to justify claims that West Byron is of State Significance, telling people ‘The Far North Coast Residential Submarket Analysis 2013 identified that population growth in Byron local government area is expected to outpace dwelling production’. In summary the Residential Submarket Analysis 2013 identifies that Byron Shire’s population is expected to grow by a further 1,088 people from 2011 to 2031, that there are 910 new house lots projected to become available from 2011 to 16 (without West Byron

or Ewingsdale), and that ‘51 per cent of new dwellings are expected to stem from infill development’ (ie without new lots being created). Basically it identifies that we have far more dwelling capacity than we need to accommodate the projected population growth, concluding ‘Byron is well positioned to accommodate future population growth’. Accordingly I ask that you correct your false and misleading claim, and most importantly I implore you to review this report for yourself before you rely on this falsehood to make decisions that will have major ramifications for Byron Bay’s future. Dailan Pugh Byron Bay

More urgent issues

by the damn things, most of which I ignore, although one unfortunate incident has led me to appreciate ‘Keep Left’. Perhaps the wildlife protection message could be better conveyed to the punters by utilising the ‘less is more’ principle, rather than yet another sign telling us what not to do. In respect of your comment that our councillors are well paid, could I point out that all but the mayor each receive less than $20K pa. I earned more than that as an eight-year-old selling my old man’s empty beer bottles. (Apparently drinking was his way of ensuring I got ahead!) Given the idiot who heads up Team Australia pulls in $507K, and given Byron councillors must also be full-time mediators, liquidators and kick-boxers, do you honestly think they are well remunerated?

the Byron Bay Embayment. The plan is considering exactly the question of whether ‘to rock or not to rock’. That is the question … but it has not been asked of the community. Or rather, when it was asked during preparation of a previous CZMP, some people didn’t like the answer. I have given a notice of motion, to be debated by Council on October 30, to put the rocks project on hold and instead focus on the CZMP. The process for the CZMP includes community consultation on matters which include the rocks question. The agenda for the meeting should be on www.byron. nsw.gov.au/meetings from Tuesday October 21.

Jane Anderson suggests we should ban the burqa (Letters, October 14). Australia is a democracy and as such we should be entitled to worship (or not) how we wish and wear (or not) whatever we choose without government interference. Would she also suggest we ban nuns from wearing their habits? Or tell men to shave off their beards so we could better see their faces? While I understand and support Jane’s abhorrence of practices that oppress women, I think we have more urgent issues to deal with here in Australia than the burqa, such as the early sexualisation of young girls (eg marketing aimed at the ‘little princess’), the objectification of women (look no further than the Wicked vans), equal pay for equal work (that old chestnut), and the all-too-common self-loathing that causes many western women to either starve their bodies or surgically change them. All the recent focus on the burqa only serves to isolate and stereotype the women wearing them, which is oppressive in itself. L Andrews Byron Bay

Misguided notions It’s always fascinating to read the often misguided notions of people like Gareth Smith as they assert the existence of this fictional place called Palestine (Letters, October 14). Palestine was a Roman abstract, a name for a province administered by Rome from Rome until it became part of the Ottoman Empire. Then when the British defeated the Ottomans and took over the area as a mandate they resurrected the Roman name Palestine. And if Gareth Smith cared to read what

Rocking Belongil In early 2013, Council changed tack and has worked since to get rocks onto the beach at Belongil. This will happen in December 2014 if the last issue in its way is resolved at the Council meeting on Thursday October 30. That issue is funding. Shares in the construction are moving around, with questions over the state government’s $300k share and over contributions by the ‘benefiting neighbours’. In the end, Council could be funding up to $600K towards the first of the three sites at Manfred Street. Council’s budgeting system has ways of making that money available but in essence it is about one per cent of our annual budget and of the order of ten per cent of our annual infrastructure spend. You can repair a lot of roadway for that much, for example. Recent advice from the state funding authority (Office of Environment & Heritage) urges Council to hold off on the construction and instead complete our welladvanced Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) for

Brickbats and one bouquet for Cr Rose Wanchap Confession, explanation, apology. I believe I was the first to urge Rose Wanchap to run for the Greens. She seemed a lovely person (I still think that). I met her at toxic chemicals protest actions. I believed the Greens needed to embrace progressive busi-

ness people and unite all sections of our society to create a progressive community. Others agreed and also urged Rose to run. At meetings, Rose strongly supported the Greens and especially Simon Richardson. She was opposed to mega-

developers taking over our Shire. She even wrote a halfpage Echo election ad saying so: http://bit.ly/echorosead. Rose charmed the Greens meetings. Over many Greens meetings she never deviated. So when she first began to abandon this position at Council, I wrote her a friendly letter trying to understand her actions. I wrote ‘I believe you are a person of moral integrity…You were elected as … the recipient of Greens votes. I cannot see how a person of moral integrity can resign from the Greens yet continue to remain a councillor, vote with the pro-development councillors and live with your conscience. I look forward to your reply.’ Rose never replied. So I am the person who campaigned for Rose to run for the Greens. I apologise to our Shire. I’ve had many sleepless nights since, consumed with guilt. Jim Beatson Byron Bay Q I

was rather disturbed by the verbal assault on one of our most respected citizens, Rose Wanchap, by David Lovejoy in his editorial of October 14. I have known Ms Wanchap for over ten years.

Mr Lovejoy has insulted her in every conceivable way without bothering to interview her before writing his scandalous editorial. Ms Wanchap has a fine reputation for helping those

in need in the community here and overseas. For years she has voluntarily donated twenty per cent of the net profit from her business to help the needy. I hope Mr Lovejoy can say the same for himself. Ms Wanchap joined Byron Shire Council to try to make a difference in the community. She is not and never has been a right-winger. If her vote coincides at times with the right faction it is simply because she believes that is the way to go on a particular issue. The thing that matters is getting the right result on each project. This is far more important than voting with a certain faction just because it is expected of you. Robert West Suffolk Park Q David Lovejoy makes the point in last week’s editorial that while the 31 people who voted for Cr Wanchap directly might accept her change of direction, the thousands who supported her as a Green have been disenfranchised. I believe this is the heart of the matter. Of course the Greens feel somewhat responsible for Rose’s disastrous decisionmaking but Fast Buck$ goes too far in pointing the finger (Letters, October 14); it seems Rose had an excellent record in the areas of both environment and community welfare when the Greens endorsed her. Who knows why she suddenly changed course but one has only to read last week’s Council coverage to see how devastating her failure to live up to her commitments is for our Shire. Please, Rose, we don’t want another Gold Coast here, we care about our residents and our koalas, also our beaches. Our community put its trust

in you; either resign or have a serious rethink and start fulfilling the terms of that trust. Jenny Coman Bangalow Q I

note the calls for Byron councillor Rose Wanchap to resign. I agree she has hijacked democracy in this Shire. I am particularly aggrieved by her voting at the last council meeting to knock back the council’s koala plan of management. The plan was almost four years in the drafting and cost tens of thousands of dollars, employing experts and liaising with government agencies. Byron Council staff should be commended for this comprehensive plan which sets out to protect Byron’s remaining koala population. Yet Rose voted with the pro-development bloc on Council to reject the plan despite it receiving overwhelming support in public submissions. The immediate implication of this is that it allows the West Byron development to go ahead in its present form which includes the clearing of core koala habitat. Our koalas have become a political football. It’s an ugly game that could lead to their extinction. Rose’s defection is untenable given this scenario. Decency and the future survival of our koalas demand she resigns. Yvette Steinhauer Byron Bay

Q If Rose really believes she represents a sizeable portion of this local electorate and not just 31 personal friends and clients, then she must in all good conscience resign from Council now and throw her hat in the ring at a by-election where she can state her true

colours. She broke a public trust at the last election by presenting herself as a Greens candidate. It has become all too clear with her voting patterns and public statements that she wears the hat of a real estate agent and is pro development and big business. Should she be subsequently re-elected as an independent or whatever, she can rest assured all the rancour and disruption within a concerned community that feels justly cheated of balanced representation on Council will then subside. Jan Hackett Sunrise Beach Q I

sat in Council meetings for the past two years and watched with increasing horror and disbelief the way Rose Wanchap voted. One morning alone a year ago she voted for the rocks at Belongil Beach to go ahead, she voted against the process of legally tackling holiday-let house owners and she even voted against the mayor’s gay marriage proposal. Since then she has usually voted in a bloc with the developer side of Council. The people of Byron Shire voted in a majority of councillors who are against big development and that is how the votes should have gone in Council as we had the three Greens, plus Paul Spooner and Basil Cameron. She must do the right thing and resign immediately, otherwise her vote will affect all of us who love this place and have fought over many years in every way possible to maintain its beauty. It will affect our children and grandchildren and all the tourists who love our area way, way into the future. Maggi Moss Luke Byron Bay

International TV series features local artist Local artist Solveig couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe her ears when she heard that the television series Colour in Your Life wanted to feature her as one of the artists on the series. Solveig had approached the show following her well-received â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Colourful Mullumbimbiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exhibition earlier in the year. The TV series, which has been running for a little more than four years, showcases Australian artists and is aired on 4ME and on more than forty stations in the United States. Managing director Graeme Stevenson says he chose to feature

Solveig on Colour in Your Life because of her distinctive style and because Solveig had already put a lot of work into her marketing through her website and promotional material.

Creative partnership â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What we try and do in the whole process is find people that are different but can also work in partnership with us to build the platform,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Graeme says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As the system builds, they get more recognition and more sales. Somebody from Belgium or Arkansas could be phoning Solveig in the next 12 months.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Solveig says the production was an amazing opportunity to reach audiences that she never would have been able to reach alone. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited about the larger audience and greater reach for putting my artwork out there,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Solveig says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to work with someone that sees so much potential for my work, who wants to put Australian artists in the international spotlight.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The episode featuring Solveig will air in Australia in late November on channel 4ME.

Firstly I would like to congratulate West Byron Group and the really powerful lobby group behind the movement. I know the helplessness of not feeling heard and of not being able to stop or change an issue for which I felt strongly about. For many years I have been the person organising and leading the march on many environmental issues which are clearly documented on my real estate website. I can only assume that most of those making allegations have not read of the many and varied environmental issues I have defended over the past two decades nor the campaigns I have pursued over the past two years in council. The position I have taken on issues before council may not be in line with some in the Byron Greens Party but many decisions I have made are aligned with core greens principals. Under the code of conduct, councillors must not participate on binding caucus votes in relation to matters to be considered at a council meeting. A binding caucus vote is a process where by a group of councillors are compelled by threat of discipline or other adverse action to comply with a predetermined position on a matter before the council irrespective of the personal views of individual members of the group. This is why I have been unable to remain part of the Byron Greens. When faced with the facts I cannot in all good conscience vote any other way.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm Founded four years ago, the Czech Railways Chess Train toured Central Europe last week with 76 players and almost as many accompanying holidaymakers. The train travelled from Prague to Vienna to Budapest to Trencin to Krakow and back to Prague, staying overnight in each city, and during the train trips a twelve round rapid tournament was played. Veteran World Championship Candidate and Czech defector Vlastimil Hort was the crowd favourite, not just for showing how well he can play nearing 70 but also using downtime to regale travellers with tales of Polish kings, Bobby Fischer’s secrets and the history of Crimea. He was close to winning the tournament until the train went around a bend on the final afternoon, shining light in Hort’s eyes and leading him to lose track of his last game. In the final round, Czech IM David Kanovsky (White) reached the diagrammed position against Egyptian amateur Ahmed Khairat and needed only to find

1.g4! to end the struggle and take outright first place. However, with 40 seconds left on the clock, Kanovsky went for the obvious

1.Re6+ Kf5 2.Qxh6 but was shocked by 2... Kg4! Now the subtle 3.Qc1! was the last winning try but Kanovsky continued 3.Rxd6?! and after 3...Qf3! White can only hang onto a draw with 4.Qe3. Instead, playing for the win, Kanovsky tried 4.Qd2? which allowed Khairat to complete his king march with 4...Kh3! 5.Kf1 Qg2+! 6.Ke1 Qg1+ 7.Ke2 Rxf2+ and Black soon won.

Our next meeting is at 10am on 28/10/14 in the Mullumbimby RSL meeting room. Speaker is Maryanne Smith, recently returned from the Townsville Musical Festival. Enquiries 6680 7350.

Such was the spirit on the Chess Train that both Hort and Kanovsky shrugged off their unlucky losses and went back to enjoying the ride. ‘The great thing about the Chess Train,’ said Hort, ‘is that when I have a bad position I can always look out of the window and see something pleasant!’

Mudhoney Beauty Mudhoney Beauty has re-opened above the well-known Mudhoney Hair Salon in Byron Bay on Browning Street. Kamon, the manager of the beauty and day spa, has been working in Byron Bay for some years and brings know-how and passion to the business. Mudhoney Beauty uses the 100 per cent organic and Australian-made product La Clinica for all beauty treatments, and offers facials, massages, nail treatments, waxing and spraytan.

Over the last 28 years, medical researcher Dr Tirant has identified two types of triggers that cause the condition to become active.

Primary triggers (including medications, vaccinations, distress and viral infections) initiate the f lare-up. Secondary triggers (including diet, chemical, hormonal and environmental sensitivities) may continue to exacerbate the condition. While utilising this valuable resource, practitioner Barry Donnelly BHSc CM ND WHM N is achieving exceptional results, for example: ‘Mick’ (a lifelong sufferer) presented at the Good Skin Clinic with eczema. On his first visit to the clinic, Mick’s skin was extremely itchy, red and inf lamed. Scratch marks were present on his legs, arms and over most of his body. The condition was also causing him many sleepless nights. Mr Donnelly found a number of foodrelated triggers and reactions to different materials such as some found in his bedding and clothing. The initial improvements in Mick’s skin were seen within a week of starting treatment. By six weeks he was back to sleeping seven hours a night and his skin was increasingly clear.

solar revolution Australia facing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;prosumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; energy revolution: regulator by Giles Parkinson, editor RenewEconomy.com

consumers will â&#x20AC;&#x153;walk awayâ&#x20AC;? from the network. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This would have major consequences for many consumers and for the efficient operation of energy markets. The hope is that network businesses redefine the services they provide to adapt to the new market, which will benefit end-users and transform the industry.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The Australian Energy Regulator says the energy market faces a revolution in coming years from the rise of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;prosumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; customers with the ability to generate and store their own electricity. And it warns that unless models are changed to allow these prosumers to fully participate in the market, and if networks continue to impose Michelle Groves, CEO of the barriers, then many consumers Australian Energy Regulator will simply walk away from the grid, with disastrous consequences for others. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The electricity industry certainly is changing. In fact it is not much of a stretch to say that the next couple of decades will witness something of a revolution in the way small customers interact with the electricity industry,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Michelle Groves, the chief executive of the AER, said in a speech last week. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In the future there will be more scope for even the smallest energy users to become active participants in the energy market.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But Groves added that it was important for the network businesses to embrace the changes underway in the energy sector. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If the networks attempt to create barriers to new, competing technologies by limiting access to their â&#x20AC;&#x153;platformâ&#x20AC;?, there is a risk that a significant number of

The speech by Groves is important because regulators in Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both federal and state based â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been accused of acting mostly in the interests of the incumbent, and often state-owned, utilities. Nigel Morris outlines ways in which utilities have acted against solar here. And consumers and installers are responding with their own guerrilla tactics. But there is now growing recognition of the power of these new technologies, and their ability to deliver cheaper services than those delivered only by centralised generation through costly networks. That, in turn, has underpinned predictions of a massive change in the way the markets operate. The CSIRO Future Grid scenarios predicted half of all electricity would be produced â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and stored â&#x20AC;&#x201C; onsite. But if the networks did not adapt, then up to one-third of consumers could leave the grid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with serious social consequences. As RenewEconomy has highlighted, some consumers and installers are finding ingenious ways to work around the tariff structures imposed by utilities to dissuade the use of solar. Grovesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech is the first to recognise that this is a primary concern, and not to use the regulatory platform to try to demonise these technologies.

Groves says the changes are being driven not just by the availability of cheaper technologies such as solar and batteries, but also improvements in IT and communications. This means that prosumers can switch from net consumption from the grid to net production. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have seen more than a million households install roof-top solar PV in the last few years,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Further, customer investment in smart appliances and battery storage could substantially shift the amount customers withdraw from or inject into the network from one moment to the next.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Far from being a drag on network investment and a burden on other consumers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as solar households are often painted by conservative politicians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Groves says prosumers will increase the resilience of networks, increase their use (presumably through charging electric vehicles), and help increase choice around consumption and production. Groves said that ideally, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;prosumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would be willing and able to directly or indirectly respond to local market conditions, so that they make efficient decisions as to the best time to use their electric appliances, charge and discharge their electric vehicles or have knowledge of their local conditions inform their investment decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Perhaps the most significant benefit from increasing the integration of small customers into the electricity market is that it will lead to a range of new services. In fact, it may mean a host of yet-unknown services that will deliver real value to consumers and society more generally.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This article first appeared in RenewEconomy.

A team of UNSW engineering students has been officially recognised as the new world record holders for the fastest electric vehicle over a distance of 500 kilometres. The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), world motorsport’s governing body, updated its official record with the new mark of 106.966 kilometres per hour set by team Sunswift in July. The previous record of 73 kilometres per hour stood for 26 years. ‘It’s not often you can confidently say you made history before you even graduated,’ Sunswift’s project director and third-year engineering student Hayden Smith said. Sunswift is Australia’s top solar car racing team. Its current vehicle eVe is the fifth to be built and raced since the team was founded in 1996. More than 100 undergraduate students contributed to Sunswift’s successful world record attempt over the past two years. ‘If there is one thing we’ve learned, it’s that you’re never too young to make an impact,’ Smith said. UNSW Engineering dean Professor Graham Davies congratulated the students for what he called ‘another exceptional feat’. Earlier versions of the Sunswift car have been used to set a world record for the fastest solar-powered road trip from

Perth to Sydney, and a Guinness World Record for the fastest solar car. ‘For a student project to achieve a new world record for electric vehicle speed and endurance is truly remarkable,’ Professor Davies said. ‘It goes to show what exceptional students we have here at UNSW.’ With the world record now official, the team is set to embark on its next major challenge – modifying the eVe to meet Australian road registration requirements. ‘The eVe will now be taken off the road for a few months to begin the transformation,’ Smith said, adding that the car could be registered and on city streets within a year. ‘We’ve always wanted to keep pushing the cultural change towards electric vehicles, and this is another big step in that direction.’

solar revolution Batteries Included: a solar cell that stores its own power By Pam Frost Gorder Is it a solar cell? Or a rechargeable battery? Actually, the patent-pending device invented at the Ohio State University is both: the world’s first solar battery. In the 3 October 2014 issue of the journal Nature Communications, the researchers report that they’ve succeeded in combining a battery and a solar cell into one hybrid device. Key to the innovation is a mesh solar panel, which allows air to enter the battery, and a special process for transferring electrons between the solar panel and the battery electrode. Inside the device, light and oxygen enable different parts of the chemical reactions that charge the battery. The university will license the solar battery to industry, where Yiying Wu, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Ohio State, says it will help tame the costs of renewable energy. ‘The state of the art is to use a solar panel to capture the light, and then use a cheap battery to store the energy,’ Wu said. ‘We’ve integrated both functions into one device. Any time you can do that, you reduce cost.’ He and his students believe that their device brings down costs by 25 per cent. The invention also solves a longstanding problem in solar-energy efficiency, by eliminating the loss of electricity that normally occurs when electrons have to travel between a solar cell and an external battery. Typically, only 80 per cent of electrons emerging from a solar cell make it into a battery. With this new design, light is converted to electrons inside the battery, so nearly 100 per cent of the electrons are saved. The design takes some cues from a battery previously developed by Wu and doctoral student Xiaodi Ren. They invented a high-efficiency air-powered battery that discharges by chemically reacting potassium with oxygen. The design won the $100,000 clean energy prize from the US Department of Energy in 2014, and the researchers formed a technology spinoff, called KAir Energy Systems, LLC to develop it. ‘Basically, it’s a breathing battery,’ Wu said. ‘It breathes in air when it discharges, and breathes out when it charges.’ For this new study, the researchers wanted to combine a solar panel with a battery similar to the KAir. The challenge was that solar cells are normally made of solid semiconductor panels, which would block air from entering the battery. Doctoral student Mingzhe Yu designed a permeable mesh solar panel from titanium gauze, a flexible fabric upon which he grew vertical rods of titanium dioxide like blades of grass. Air passes freely through the gauze while the rods capture sunlight. Normally, connecting a solar cell to a battery would require the use of four electrodes, the researchers explained. Their hybrid design uses only three. The mesh solar panel forms the first electrode. Beneath, the researchers placed a thin sheet of porous carbon (the second electrode) and a lithium plate (the third electrode). Between the electrodes, they sandwiched layers of electrolyte to carry electrons back and forth. Here’s how the solar battery works: During charging, light hits the mesh solar panel and creates electrons. Inside the battery, electrons are involved in the chemical decomposition of lithium peroxide into lithium ions and oxygen. The oxygen is released into the air, and the lithium ions are stored in the battery as lithium metal after capturing the electrons. When the battery discharges, it chemically consumes oxygen from the air to re-form the lithium peroxide. An iodide additive in the electrolyte acts as a ‘shuttle’ that carries electrons, and transports them between the battery electrode and the mesh solar panel. The use of the additive represents a distinct approach to improving the battery performance and efficiency, the team said. The mesh belongs to a class of devices called dyesensitised solar cells, because the researchers used a red dye to tune the wavelength of light it captures. In tests, they charged and discharged the battery repeatedly, while doctoral student Lu Ma used X-ray

Researchers at The Ohio State University have invented a solar battery – a combination solar cell and battery – which recharges itself using air and light. The design required a solar panel which captured light, but admitted air to the battery. Here, scanning electron microscope images show the solution: nanometresized rods of titanium dioxide (larger image) which cover the surface of a piece of titanium gauze (inset). The holes in the gauze are approximately 200 micrometres across, allowing air to enter the battery while the rods gather light. Image courtesy of Yiying Wu, The Ohio State University photoelectron spectroscopy to analyse how well the electrode materials survived – an indication of battery life. First they used a ruthenium compound as the red dye, but since the dye was consumed in the light capture, the battery ran out of dye after eight hours of charging and discharging – too short a lifetime. So they turned to a dark red semiconductor that wouldn’t be consumed: hematite, or iron oxide – more commonly called rust. Coating the mesh with rust enabled the battery to charge from sunlight while retaining its red colour. Based on early tests, Wu and his team think that the solar battery’s lifetime will be comparable to rechargeable batteries already on the market. The US Department of Energy funds this project, which will continue as the researchers explore ways to enhance the solar battery’s performance with new materials.

The KAir battery, pronounced care, is based on the lab’s recently invented potassium-air battery. Potassium is a common and nontoxic element, naturally occurring in things like bananas, chocolate, and nuts. By harnessing the power of that along with the same oxygen that we all breathe, we have created a device that has the potential to revolutionize power grids worldwide. The resulting product has an energy efficiency of up to 98%, is 78% cheaper to produce than other batteries of similar capacity, produces no toxic waste, and is fully recyclable! We are currently producing prototypes and are slowly improving the battery’s capacity, while maintaining its overall quality and stability. We need your help to get it to all the way to the market! Help us build a greener future by supporting our project!

solar revolution Support for solar can tackle NSW energy affordability crisis Supporting households to go solar is the best way to tackle the energy affordability crisis in NSW says Solar Citizens. The huge jump in disconnections and complaints linked to price hikes and overspending on poles and wires shown in a report from the Energy and Water Ombudsman highlight the extreme strain placed on Australian families by high energy costs, says Solar Citizens’ national director Claire O’Rourke. ‘Bill shock from electricity prices is being driven by “gold-plating” of infrastructure and the greed of the major power companies,’ Ms O’Rourke said. ‘Solar lets people take control of their power bills. It is the only way Australian households can increase independence from the big power companies. ‘There are already 1.3 million Australian households that have made the move to manage their cost of living by installing solar. NSW households have saved $146.9 million on power bills as a result of installing solar. ‘NSW households have invested $1,967.3 million in solar power and helped create 18,500 jobs nationwide. ‘Solar creates jobs, encourages investment and helps Australian families take control of their power bills. ‘All of our political parties should help support solar with policies that help people install solar and ensure a healthy

Australians today are now some of the world’s busiest people (statistically speaking). We are working the longest hours in the developed world (go figure) with an average of 1,855 hours at work each year, apparently 200 hours more than employees in other nations. Many Aussies work more than 50 hours a week: ‘All this work and no play makes Johnny get takeaway...’ Now, I’m not really sure how many people work this hard in the northern rivers, but we are all likely to take a break from slaving in the kitchen. Takeaway food in this part of the world is just magnificent and we, the consumers, have chosen to gravitate toward fast foods that have goodness in mind rather than allow a lot of rubbish to flourish here. The result is the ability to just grab a quick meal and enjoy Wategos, the hinterland beauty or just feed the kids at home with an abundance of healthy takeaway food choices on hand. I’ve chosen a slow exposure of a few different places serving good examples of fresh foods served quickly and packed to go. Over the next week or so stay tuned for my take on takeaways.

A well-rounded Soul Matthew Miall looks more like an archetypal healthy blond surfer than he does a businessman. He moved up from Melbourne to Byron Bay with his family a while back to enjoy the friendliness he and his partner had experienced while visiting the Bay. He now contributes to this warmth in a very practical way: fronting his own health bar Soul Bowl situated opposite the beach in Byron. I suspect that it’s in this guy’s nature to be congenial rather than a Byron Shire Council mandate to act all welcoming and such; no, Matt exudes a charm that’s infectious and appears to be quite natural. I’ve watched this takeawayfrom a foodie’s arm’s length, and you get the feeling that he works at it and it’s well received. I’ve witnessed during my visits all nations being charmed and appearing to look comfortable in his healthy food haven. So, how important is all this ‘nice’ energy when it comes to choosing what you put into your body? Look out! Here comes my soap box... I’m climbing up and here it is: Food = energy; ergo, you can receive energy via the food you eat. This means that the people who are happy to serve you and are placing you at ease while preparing your food are doing you a service; these folks should be paid more money. So, having said this, it’s hard to get good help and a workforce that know the ‘hospitality’ in the hospitality industry is quantifiable. While the cliche Y gen’ are all ‘I can’t make it, I’m, like sick... “cough” “cough”.’ Here, you can take advantage of the difference when the care is in house and a part of your daily order. ‘Millions of dollars are spent on advertising takeawayfood outlets; they do this to make themselves seem healthy.

Left: A cup of fresh Ewingsdale coffee to bring balance to a healthy brekkie, lunch or dinner. Right: A large selection of fresh produce is available to be collected up at your leisure then readied for takeaway or bowl

We all know that’s not always the case. Soul Bowl isn’t a franchise. We’re still on the ground and look after the produce until it gets to the consumer,’ Miall told me. ‘We’ve created a sort of destination for people to collect their own style of healthy food – literally with a stainless steel bowl we collect your choice of ingredients for your salad or wrap etc, no pre-made stuff, quick and fresh. We can step up in summer and serve food fast, so it’s a sort of fast food outlet only to this extent,’ Matt added. Fresh food is not, by its nature, produced quickly. Here the menu contains all the healthy elements people are after – all the non-allergenic and the good stuff. This is like the old days of beach juice bars. There’s stuff for the lads here too – the meat lovers, big baked potatoes and wholesome fills. and the promotion of local growers the likes of Ewingsdale Coffee are all sitting comfortably on the menu boards.

So, come across smaller establishments that haven’t got a barrow to push, just great fresh healthy produce… Gluten free, lactose free, certainly not free from taste and zest. Soul Bowl is a fairly customary concept juice and salad bar. It’s clean and shiny with a large windowed salad display, drinks fridge and stainless benches, all as you’d expect to find in similar healthy-food places. The difference is service with a bit of Soul. Q Soul Bowl Eat in / Takeaway. 8am–8pm 7 days.

The street food diner I spoke with the owner of Asia Joe’s after I decided this delightful little restaurant in Bay Lane (behind the Beach Hotel) would be a good fit for a healthy takeaway feature. This place will always impress with its vibrant veggie-filled Asian creations and fabulous laksas. People who know me will tell you that I not only love Asian food, but I’ve been known to throw it together myself. Asian cuisine is my go-to when catering for guests and dinner parties at home. I’ll whip up platters with turrets of Thai noodles reaching skyward to a healthy garnish of fresh herbs, mint, greens, chillies and nuts. Since huge handfuls of fresh veg, strong Asian roots and spices are so often the ticket in my house, as you can imagine, when it comes to takeaway Asian food if I’m buying it, it’d better be good. Emma and Greg Thomson have owned Asia Joe’s since 2008, and after speaking to Emma, I now know that she shares my passion for the freshness of Asian foods. Of course the owners of an eatery don’t always represent the businesses they invest in. But rest assured, Emma loves the menu she sells; in fact she speaks of it with the energy and enthusiasm

Santé – good health Santé is the new name and recent evolution of the Pizza Bar opened in December 2012. This latest concept eatery, if you haven’t yet had the pleasure, is located famously in front of the zebra crossing and opposite the Woolies carpark in Byron Bay. It’s the baby of Sean Meehan, Will Ennis, Nick Morley and Laurie Rose. It’s a reasonably large restaurant with a European flavour and a bit of New York styling to boot. Business partner, Nick Morley, is the fashionista here and is driving the look. It’s a colourful gallery of art and art-for-sale, an interior with an eclectic fit-out and a textile theme that has ‘fun’ sewn into it. Many of the furnishings are designed and supplied by Aussie companies. In fact they’re promoting the businesses too and if you see anything you

of a giggly teenager and has the sort of commitment to her products that sometimes takes her down to Sydney when a ‘secret ingredient’ becomes short supply. Emma worked in the corporate world in the UK and says, ‘there was lots of money, though I always wanted more of the relationship with people that comes from providing a service and watching them enjoy that service. For me the goal at Asia Joe’s was to create an extension of my own home and to create an affordable place to grab healthy and lovely veggies’. I think they’ve succeeded in doing what they’ve set out to achieve here. Laksa, stir-fries, and an array of good Asian dishes – fresh, healthy and colourful foods. The walls have graffiti menu notes: such as, ‘We prepare over 12 different types of fresh like, you’ll be given the contacts. Sean Meehan and Will Ennis (from the Italian at the Pacific) look after the food. They’ve created fresh menus with the notion of proper foods, full meal solutions the stuff of roast duck leg, orange, pistachio and fennel with crispy polenta. Well-executed favourites the likes of pastas, salads, pizza and a range of items for an accompaniment to a drink, cocktail or coffee. Sharing is caring and all can share the food in this light and casual setting. What’s all of this got to do with take-out? In short, this is a versatile eatery, so much so that if you dig up a picnic basket that’s been sitting in the garage forever, then call Sean at Santé, he’ll talk you through the takeaway options and arrange your meal. The menu contains many portable goodies including charcuterie, antipasto, pate, pastas, gourmet salads, pizza, tiramisu and more. This is a great idea for a lazy birthday or anniversary treat. Intimate picnics go well in the Byron Shire with a multitude of places to throw

veggies every day’, tossed in the wok along with a house-made Thai sauce, garlic, chilli and off you go. Emma is a mum and caters for small children here. Your kids (if they’re anything like mine) may love the special dishes of noodles and rice creations on the menu and they may even miss the seven different veggies that are diced small with subtle flavours and no spice. This petite restaurant opens its doors ready to serve. Even the decor has an energy to it – those rugs. The same applies to office parties and folk stuck at work in Byron Bay or surrounding areas on duty with no time to eat well – naturally, Santé will fill that brief. Santé means a few different things to different people; here, in a takeaway context it certainly means ‘good health’ and a great alternative to fast foods. If you like your take-away à la carte and expertly handled, then this is an eatery to try. Q Santé

For specialty coffee, amazing service and delicious local farm fresh food we would love to welcome you all to Table View, Brunswick Heads.

Hotel Brunswick is now showcasing the most diverse range of varietals in Australia - on tap. Award winning brands such as Wither Hills, Petaluma, Knappstein, Innocent Bystander, St. Hallet and Stonier. ‘This is an innovative keg system that allows outstanding quality from the first to last pour’ Cameron Gordon from the Innocent Bystander winery told me. The Brunswick Heads Hotel’s new wine taps are a first of their kind in Australia, with eight premium wines on offer including two reds. Now that wine on tap is up and running, the main focus for those supplying it will be to convince their wine drinking patrons to raise the bar. A similar scenario occurred when the cork was removed from the bottle - now no one seems to be concerned about finding a corkscrew. With the ability to increase the quality of wines on offer to their customers through the tap, the pricing will naturally reflect that quality - so, a few extra bucks will buy a good label and a glass that’s not been poured from a five day old bottle. So, what do the winemakers themselves think of quality wine being tapped and poured through the cellar? Stuart Blackwell, the legendary winemaker at St.Hallett winery in the Barossa said this of the new system, ‘Both winery trial and in-venue testing has shown that wine from keg is served to the customer as fresh as it is from a newly opened bottle. From a winemaking perspective it’s comforting to know the wine is being delivered free of oxidation at the ideal serving temperature for that particular wine.’

SAINT JOAN

PLAYS AT HUGH BLANES FESTIVAL, IC US M MULLUM G R. FOR TICKETIN 20–23 NOVEMBE TO GO N IO AT RM INFO M AND PROGRAM O .C AL MUSICFESTIV WWW.MULLUM

YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO SPENT THE LAST 42 YEARS IN SILENT MEDITATION TO NOT KNOW AT LEAST ONE OF THE HITS OF JOAN ARMATRADING.

Her classics Drop the Pilot, Me Myself I, Love and Affection form the ‘remember that time’ playlist for most of us past the age of 40. Bluesfest Touring brings Armatrading to Australia for what is slated as her last major world tour and first solo concert. It’s amazing after so long in the biz to be still achieving some career firsts! ‘I have never done a world tour solo before,’ says Joan. ‘It seemed like a good time to do it now as it will be the last time I tour extensively so it made sense to do it.’ Armatrading is a dynamic onstage performer at ease with investing her energy into an audience. ‘I relate to the audience a lot when I am with a band, and the audience is reactive to the songs still; this time when it’s just me it will be more intimate. I have deliberately gone for smaller places – I want it to feel like it’s just me and them! I am the only thing they have to look at. Just me, singing and talking to them.’ Choosing a set list is a challenge for any artist, but for Joan who has well over 200 songs, it’s even more so. She reflects on choosing the playlist. ‘I have no idea how I did it; it’s bad enough with a band trying to choose what to play! On the last tour with the band I had three set lists. Some of them had the same songs and we’d swap set lists each night I didn’t want to put that pressure on myself. So I decided to choose songs that I haven’t played forever and of course the songs that people come expecting to hear.

‘I am more than happy to play songs such as Drop the Pilot, Love and Affection. For me though, all the songs are significant; all the songs I have written have a significant meaning for me and most of them have been played onstage before. All the albums have at least 10 songs minimum and there are 20 albums, and a lot of them have been played live – so some people will have heard – and some maybe they haven’t.’ Being a prolific songwriter has come naturally to Armatrading who admits that is her favourite part of the creative process. ‘I love writing. I absolutely love to write, and because I do I am able to constantly give people music. ‘For me when I am songwriting I am a composer; it is about the song, the lyric, the melody and the arrangement. ‘That’s how I have always seen it. Some people will go into the studio with an idea or a chorus and hope the band will flesh it out… I couldn’t do that. I need to go in knowing all of it before I go in – I don’t want someone else telling me how my song goes! I am the writer so I am the one who should know how it goes!’ Joan credits her voracious appetite for songwriting as being seeded by her love of literature.

CONTINUED P34

VIRTUOSO PIANIST HUE BLANES HAS BEEN PLAYING MUSIC SINCE HE WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD. Darling of the Melbourne underground music scene, Blanes has played keys for The Bamboos, is the founding member of The Melodics, currently is the keyboardist for Harry James Angus Band and is one jazz fiend with seriously good pop chops. Whether collaborating or playing alone, Blanes brings something special to the stage and is one of the performers programmed by festival patron Harry Angus in his attempt to realise his vision of transplanting the Melbourne jazz parties to Mullumbimby. Blanes is chuffed if not a little surprised by the popularity of jazz among a previously non-jazzschooled audience. ‘It’s actually pretty weird! I don’t even know who the audience is sometimes! It’s generally a whole range of people, people who want to be there because it’s different or cool – generally they are the hipsters – and just recently our crowds are becoming less and less jazz aficionados and more a young rowdy crowd!’ Blanes believes that people who love music embark on a journey to find the music that they love. ‘I reckon when you are in high school you are very affected by the media and once you leave school everyone is trying to find themselves and I think jazz and the jazz that we play – it just communicates a lot of what is lacking in some music – it’s out-and-out fun, and rowdiness, and there is no agenda – it’s real music and real musicians playing stuff from 100 years ago. There

is an element of that museum effect I guess, but that’s part of the charm.’ For many patrons this is in fact new music, with many of the songs so difficult to track down that you could say they’re virtually extinct. Jazz parties are breathing life back into songs that may have just slipped off the radar. ‘There was a French lady who came up on Monday night asking – can you play this one for me? I couldn’t find it anywhere. Did you write it? It was a song from the early 1950s and she couldn’t find it anywhere because it wasn’t anywhere. We dug it out of the trenches of the vinyl collection – the only other version was on YouTube with only 2,000 hits. At our gigs it’s one of the favourite songs: Bobby Socks Idolmous, Wilmoth Houdini; it’s basically the singer asking Frank Sinatra to sing calypso with him.’ The appeal of jazz to a younger demographic Blanes believes is its unbridled energy. ‘When you go out to see music sometimes a lot of it is shrouded in so much restraint. I went and saw a friend’s gig; it was folky but for the whole hour it was to my ears like nothing was really happening. It’s cool these days to play nothing and then play some more nothing and then some more… There is so much restraint in modern music, so much dumbing down – I don’t think modern audiences are getting the respect they deserve… When you are listening to jazz you are listening to something that is spontaneous, like when you see

ENTERTAINMENT THE ECONOMICS OF CHOICE

I never cease to be astounded by the lack of empathy and insight some people have around the issue of domestic violence. I believe the absence of compassion and judgment to be another form of violence, something more sinister than a punch, as this philosophical violence seeds the cancer of shame and blame, shutting down the important dialogue about societal accountability, and instead pointing the finger of ‘responsibility’ firmly back at the victim. Let me explain. It all started on Facebook. When perusing social media I generally engage in what I like to call ‘planned ignoring’, which means I groan and move on and when I read something ill informed, and I don’t make comments. But every now and then someone says something so profoundly stupid I can’t help myself. A friend had re-posted a graphic image of a young woman who’d been brutally beaten by her boyfriend with the simple tag of ‘domestic violence is never okay’. Only three posts in and one bloke decides to post this: ‘If one has standards never to put oneself in that position, one will never be exposed to that abuse, and there are women everywhere who don’t experience abuse, because they’ve been taught to up their standards and not to just blindly accept whatever comes along.’ It was amazing how violent that statement made me feel. And how sad. The idiot that said that is no lone ideological gunman, just the mouthpiece for the popular but sadly misinformed mainstream view that perplexes over the conundrum ‘If he hits you then you should leave and if you don’t leave then it’s your choice to be hit’. One woman dies every week at the hands of her current or previous partner and there’s barely a blip on the radar of public outrage. These quiet murders of someone’s mother, sister or daughter generally don’t warrant more than a paragraph on page 4. In Australia more than 52 women are killed every year by men – so, where is our terror alert? It’s

more dangerous in our homes than it is at any airport. I grew up in domestic violence, and I have experienced domestic violence firsthand as an adult woman. I guess I must be one of those women without standards, who chose to be hit. It had never occurred to me that it was my fault. As anyone who works in the field will attest, domestic violence is extremely complex. This Facebook statement troubled me on a number of levels. The first is the blind acceptance of male violence towards women as a given. The second is that women are grouped into two classes – those with standards and those without – further reinforcing the stereotype that allows us to forget about domestic violence as it only happens to dumb sluts who ask for it. The third and perhaps most ideologically pervasive view is around choice. That choice is some sort of level playing field regardless of race, gender, education, economics and psycho/ sociological factors. I guess if you are a heterosexual middle-class well-educated white man the world might work like that, but for the rest of us it’s a very different story. Choice is one of capitalism’s sexiest sell points. It’s closely aligned with the belief in individualism and self-actualisation. It works well if you are at society’s economic apex, but for the bottom-dwellers choices are often very different, like: do I pay this week’s rent or do I buy food? The New Age/esoteric movement embraced the idea of choice so enthusiastically they even started to promote that people chose their parents, their terminal illness… oh heck, they chose everything, from where you live to how you live. It’s a tidy theory if you’re Richard Branson, but if you’re living in the slums of Deli, then I guess it’s slightly less attractive. Or you’re slightly less evolved. Choice sweetly simplistic. If you want a better life, then make better choices. It’s so neat to have all of life’s problems sewn up with a belief system you can fit

improvised theatre, it could be really good or really bad, the point is it’s something!’ Blanes has his parents to thank for introducing him to the piano. It wasn’t an instant attraction, but it was something that grew on him. ‘To be honest I don’t think I enjoyed the piano itself that much at first. I listened to a few jazz records when I was 15. I thought this is cool… then I worked out how to play it on the piano.’

on a bumper sticker. It seems logical enough but it doesn’t come close to navigating the intricate complexities of how we as human beings actually live. If self-determinism were founded solely in an individual’s capacity for self-actualisation then I think the world would be a very different place. Shit wouldn’t happen. But, shit does. So why do we keep blaming the victims? Why don’t abused women leave? Why don’t anorexics just eat? Why don’t depressed people cheer up? Why don’t heroin addicts just stop using? Why don’t fat people lose weight? Why don’t alcoholics stop drinking?

Why? Because the issue is bigger than choice. ‘Choice’ and our access to understand, interpret and make choices is influenced and at times manufactured by our environment. If I choose to get Botox am I exercising my choice to have a forehead free of wrinkles or am I choosing it because I have been conditioned to believe my ageing face is unattractive? How do we address the multiplicity of narratives that surround choice? Tackling an issue such as domestic violence requires an overhaul of our patriarchal structures. It requires addressing issues of addiction, mental illness and poverty. It requires providing effective intervention and recovery support for children and families. It requires perpetrators to engage in rehabilitation. But most importantly it requires becoming a society that vigorously protects the rights of women and children. And that means men, too, because children exposed to domestic violence are very often the ones who become perpetrators of violence. And it requires compassion. So after this massive moral, ethical and social revolution, then, and maybe only then, we can start talking about ‘choice’.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When I was younger I used to be in the library all the time, reading Shakespeare and Dickens, reading Mark Twain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those words have been lovely words and I think those things really do influence youâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Music is very much a natural thing for me. When my mother bought a piano and put it in our front room I immediately started writing songs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing thing a piano. All these things that I play, the guitar as well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I taught myself. I could do it because I can hear all the music in my head; I need to play it so I can get it out!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Armatrading has a poetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear and often everyday narratives make their way into her lyric. She credits some of her creativity with being an astute observer. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There was a song I wrote called The Shouting Stageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, says Joan of one instance. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was in a restaurant in Australia and these two people were having an argument that escalated into a shouting match with everyone looking and the guy got up and stormed out, and I wondered what it was that got them to the shouting stage. How is it that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so mad he that walked out? Everyone in the restaurant saw what I saw, but I was the only one who wrote a song about it!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Like with her songwriting, Armatrading takes her performance seriously. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter for her if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sung a song 300 times, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll approach it with fresh eyes every time. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When I am onstage I have to respect the emotions of the song. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just try to sing it as if I were going through the motions; I have to re-create that feeling of when I wrote it without being false. If you are false that will come through as well, and some of the songs when you are singing them and listening to the words then you get into it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Joan Armatrading, alone on stage with piano, acoustic and electric guitar, plays Twin Towns in Tweed Heads on Saturday 13 December.

ENTERTAINMENT

SLAVA TO THE MUSIC THIS SUNDAY THREE OF THE WORLD’S BEST GUITARISTS JOIN FORCES AT THE BYRON COMMUNITY CENTRE, CELEBRATING THE RELEASE OF THEIR COLLABORATIVE ALBUM TRAVEL GUIDE. Ralph Towner, Wolfgang Muthspiel and Slava Grigoryan have created this ongoing project alongside their solo careers. Pre-eminent Australian classical guitarist Slava Grigoryan relished the chance for himself and Austrian Muthspiel to work with their shared musical hero: Ralph Towner. Slava talks about the project. What was the impetus for bringing three headline guitarists together? The impetus for bringing the three of us together was definitely an artistic one. Despite all of us individually looking elsewhere for inspiration we all have a very strong ‘classical’ core. All three of us studied the guitar classically and were later inspired to look at new musical areas we wanted to develop. For this trio we wanted to explore music for

three guitars in a very orchestral way. The music is very dynamic, colourful, complex harmonically and yet very simple at times. Unlike other guitar groups, our priority is definitely on form and shape rather than being a technical ‘showing off ’ opportunity. What happens when you play together – what do you each bring to the table to complement the other players? We all have a very different sound by virtue of the various instruments that we bring to the table. I have my regular classical guitar and larger-scale baritone instrument. Ralph utilises a regular classical guitar and also his unmistakable sparkling 12-string. Wolfgang plays mostly electric. We definitely have different roles from each other within the various

compositions. Our priority is to have a unified but varied and colourful sound. This would be very different if all three played the same kind of instrument!

night, has changed me as a musician forever. Wolfgang is also a breathtaking improviser and is always giving us a massive kick. A new world of ideas opens up after every single gig with them.

How do you decide who takes turns leading? Each piece is different, and apart from the ‘free’ sections where we have to listen intensely and adapt to each other constantly, the roles are very defined. One of us is always leading and it’s up to the other two to accompany in the most appropriate way.

Tell me a little about recording Travel Guide. Does it reflect the global voice of your guitars? This particular recording was one of the definitive moments of my life. Firstly, we were in an amazing sounding studio in Lugarno, Switzerland. Secondly, one of the most influential figures in the recording world over the last 50 years, Manfred Eicher, was producing our session. His insight into sound and shape was extraordinary. Seeing him put everything together on the third day of our being in that studio and walking out later that evening with a master recording was an experience I’ll never forget.

What compositions should we expect? Are they new? Are they shared? This concert will consist of pieces from both of our albums. All of them have been composed by Ralph and Wolfgang. The most recent ECM album Travel Guide was composed specifically for the three of us – all new pieces with our three specific sounds in mind. The first album From a Dream was our first recording and for that we drew upon Ralph and Wolfgang’s existing catalogue of pieces and chose ones we thought would work best for the trio. What is the creative boost you get from collaboration? I think it’s very inspirational for all of us. Firstly, for Wolfgang and me, Ralph has been a huge source of inspiration our entire careers. To now be sharing the stage with him, seeing the magic happen at such close range and to see how amazing his risk-taking is, night after

The last Mercury retrograde for 2014 has excellent healing potential for those who can engage with our imperfect world as it is, rather than yearn for an ideal version…

GEMINI: What does this week have going for it? Oodles of energetic assistance to decide who you really are and precisely what gifts you have to offer this life. Deep stuff. Late week’s solar eclipse is a wakeup call to start making health-oriented mind/body, work/play adjustments.

LIBRA: As this week’s Libran scales swing between stress K and pleasure, strife and delight, the trick to stability is not polarizing into either. Embracing experiences in their complex totality allows you to still feel peace in the midst of disagreements, gratitude along with dissatisfaction, love and discomfort at the same time.

Ballina Shire Council will be hosting free creative workshops to bring generations together to share experiences of our community. The workshops are geared towards grandparents and their grandchildren, or older residents and their younger friends and relatives, to come together to create a clay paver for a future public art project. This project hopes to draw out, in a creative way, what different generations find special about our community. The workshops will be led by pottery artists Lisa and Linda from Pebuku Pottery in Uki. The two-and-half hour workshops will be held in the Richmond Room in Regatta Avenue, Ballina. Four workshop times are available: 10am or 2pm Saturday 1 November or the same times on Sunday 2 November.

hesitates, then wait. Don’t believe everything you hear. Dig for deeper truths. Let insights, ideas and new intel stew and brew, because impulsive decisions aren’t usually effective during retrogrades. PISCES: As some friendships deepen and others dissolve, P commitment and compromise are this week’s biggies. As in what you’re really committed to and where you’re prepared to compromise. Take time to check: if old goals aren’t holding the same appeal they used to, feel free to pursue new ones.

Open air, free as the spirit and under the Byron stars awaits the Australian surf film premiere of Beyond the Surface. Featuring Ishita Malaviya, India’s first female surfer, and friends, who are documenting the ways in which surfing, yoga, and ecological creativity are bringing hope and fuelling change for local people and the planet. The saturated hues of India set the scene for this documentary that will touch upon eco-tourism, youth and women’s empowerment, biocentrism and personal growth. They have integrated these causes with the pursuit of India’s perfect waves, highlighting the undeniable power of surfing to bring joy among suffering. Directed by Crystal Thornburg-Homcy and award-winning cinematographer Dave Homcy, Ishita’s unshakable determination for a better world sees her joined by a unique and talented group of women – Crystal Thornburg-Homcy, Liz Clark, Lauren Hill, Emi Koch, and Kate Baldwin travelling through southern India documenting surf culture in its purest form transforming lives and fuelling change.

Bookings are essential: 6686 1284.

THE IMMIGRANT Refugees arriving on an island with barely more than the clothes on their back, facing an uncertain and potentially dangerous future… This scenario, which could have come from the pages of today’s news, is also the storyline for new film The Immigrant. Filmmaker James Gray’s inspiration for his film came in part from old family photographs taken by his grandfather, who arrived at Ellis Island in New York, the first stop for thousands of European immigrants to the USA, in 1923, as well as stories told to him by one of his great-grandfathers who ran a bar in the area. The Immigrant screens at Palace Byron Bay Cinema in limited release from Thursday.

Show continues until 4 November.

BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP

A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES

I’m sure that there is such a medical condition – the movies wouldn’t lie to us, would they? – but the affliction from which Christine (Nicole Kidman) suffers seems barely plausible to me. Every morning she wakes up having forgotten her identity and everything that’s happened to her. During the day, her husband Ben (Colin Firth) reacquaints Christine with the details of her life, then all of that information is again wiped from her memory the minute she hits the sack. If you can run with that premise you’ll be okay, but for me it was a bit of a stretch. Christine’s condition was brought on by a bashing she received at the hands of an unknown assailant many years ago. In what is basically a three-hander, we are set up to think at various times that the person responsible for the assault was either Ben or Dr Nash (Mark Strong), the neurologist who has been helping Christine put the pieces of her life back together. A puzzle more than a mystery, it slots nicely into the increasingly common genre of filmmaking that has been made popular by Christopher Nolan and his brain-strain cohorts. Visually, Rowan Joffe’s movie is quite lacklustre – it’s more like a TV drama blown up onto the big screen – and his characters are without any psychological depth, which might not be considered a fatal weakness to the gamers in the audience. Clues and red herrings are drip fed into the script in a manner that is both orthodox and timely, so that just when you are beginning to become bored with watching three classy performers earning their big bucks for old rope, another unforeseen twist arrives that rekindles your waning interest. Firth doesn’t appear terribly interested, Strong relies heavily on his chic stubble and Kidman, for whom this is no challenge at all, gets to do more fearful panting than I’ve seen from her since she was being stalked by Billy Zane on that yacht in Dead Calm. ~ John Campbell

The opening scene, a flashback to 1991, has Matt Scudder (Liam Neeson), an off-duty cop, blazing away with gay abandon and shooting some punks who’d just stuck up the New York diner at which he was eating and taking hits of hard liquor. Jump forward to 1999 and we are aware of two psychopathic kidnappers slicing a young woman to pieces in the back of their van. It is a murder more confronting, more disgusting than any of recent times. It is also a murder that, rest assured, makes you perfectly comfortable in anticipating the violent end that Scudder, now a vigilante-forhire, will deliver to the monsters’ worthless lives. And that is the problem with movies like this – they drill deep, like root canal work, into the darkest, still-breathing corners of our primitive souls and, by presenting evil as so unequivocal, encourage us to lust for rough justice. That art is obliged to aim higher – to enrich rather than degrade humanity – should be one of its unarguable tenets, but the box office has a long history of putting the kibosh on such foolish ideals. It is a frustrating thing to see so much talent, money and technical expertise lavished on pushing our negative buttons – Mihai Malaimare Jr’s lush cinematography is like Jeffrey Smart having a Goya nightmare, Jill Savitt’s precise, quick edit encourages unthinking, judgmental involvement, Neeson’s performance is impeccable – but these are shirt-fronting, low-brow times, so brutal triumphalism justifies any means. As a caveat, it must be said, that in an unexpected and muddled analogy that seems to argue against itself, the movie also attempts to warn against such violent extremism (which, in truth, I only vaguely understood) by equating Scudder’s commitment to AA and its twelve godly steps with 9/11. It’s a man’s world – no woman does anything, other than be a victim – and there is an uneasy homophobic undercurrent, but, as with The Equalizer, I was horrified to find that I enjoyed it thoroughly. ~ John Campbell

REQUEST FOR INTERESTED ABORIGINAL PARTIES – TALLOW CREEK OPENING Tallow Creek, Byron Bay Byron Shire Council is planning to undertake Aboriginal consultation for proposed works to the entrance of Tallow Creek, Byron Bay NSW. The land in question is located adjacent to Tallows Beach, where Tallow Creek meets the beach within the Arakwal National Park. The proposed works comprise the occasional water level lowering of Tallow Creek, via excavation of a pilot drainage channel at the entrance of Tallow Creek that enables high level waters to drain to the ocean. The works are proposed to limit potential ﬂood impacts to low lying properties within the Tallow Creek catchment, in accordance with the Interim Management Plan included in the Tallow Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan prepared in 2009. Byron Shire Council would like to include as stakeholders those people who hold cultural knowledge relevant to determining the signiﬁcance of Aboriginal object(s) and/or place(s) in this area. Any information regarding Aboriginal owners in the area will only be used in the course of community consultation regarding the site, and aims to assist in determining the appropriate management for the known and potential sites for the proposed works. Such persons may register their interest to be involved in the process of community consultation with regards to this submission. The purpose of community consultation with local Aboriginal people is to assist in determining the best methods of avoiding and/or mitigating impact upon Aboriginal Cultural Heritage in the project area and for determining future management strategies for Aboriginal Cultural Heritage in the project area. Those Aboriginal parties or individuals wishing to take part in community consultation regarding the project should contact Ainsworth Heritage, who are acting on behalf of Byron Shire Council.

Print advertising is a vital component of any marketing campaign for your property but if your agent isn’t using The Echo you need to ask, WHY NOT? The value an advertiser gets from The Echo is unrivalled in this area. If your agent uses The Echo you know they have your best interests at heart.

WHY? The Echo prints 48% more papers than any other paper servicing the Byron Shire. Unlike other papers, The Echo is delivered to almost every home in the Byron Shire and Lennox Head and is also bulk dropped to Lismore, Pottsville, Murwillumbah and Ballina, as well as hinterland villages.

The Echo has a longer ‘shelf life’ as people hold on to it to read across the week. It has more pages, more content and more interesting content on each page; this is why it works for our advertisers.

The Byron Shire Echo October 21, 2014 55

Backlash Byron Shire councillor Rose Wanchapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance on development issues has inspired many calls for her to resign and even a protest outside her business last Friday. Hitting back at her critics, Rose continues to insist on the appropriateness of her voting pattern, describing herself as an advocate for social justice, ensuring that poorer folk get a go at affordable housing and hoping that Byron doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become just an enclave for the rich. As a real estate agent, though, Rose should know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good intentions that keep housing affordable in a barely regulated market, but the lack of desirability â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and of beaches. The poor would have a better chance at Bombala, NSW (3-br renovatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delight $87,000) or Coober Pedy, SA (3-br semidugout $74,000). While Rose got herself into muddy waters on Friday by threatening to slap local campaigner Maggi Moss Luke, she did have some support on site from fellow councillor Chris Cubis and former chamber of commerce president Paul Waters, who was there allegedly to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;protect the downtroddenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Remember when local MP Don Page used to be minister for the north coast? That seemed appropriate but now the job has been outsourced to Duncan Gay, who lives in Redfern. Is it a vote of noconfidence in the current crop of north coast Nats MPs, as NSW Labor claims, or did no-one want the job of placating north coast activists?

A new research paper by The Australia Institute, released last week, shows that on average Queenslanders believe coal employs 13 per cent of the workforce â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ten times the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actual size.

As from last Wednesday, NSW Police informs us, police will only be required to attend and investigate crashes if a person is killed or injured; parties fail to exchange particulars; or if a driver appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Drivers involved in traffic crashes where their vehicle needs to be towed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and none of the above criteria apply â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can now organise their own tow and leave the area, and later report the crash to the Police Assistance Line on 131
