Parkway Drive weighs into Ewingsdale dispute Ben Gordon, founder of the awardwinning metalcore band Parkway Drive, has lent his band’s support to the Ewingsdale residents opposing the proposed seniors living development pushed on by a majority of Byron Shire councillors. Parkway Drive takes its name from a street in Ewingsdale and Mr Gordon’s family home backs on to the proposed development.

‘Shocking’ In an email to Cr Diane Woods last week Mr Gordon pointed out he had lived in Byron Shire all his life and in Ewingsdale since he was six. ‘I am writing to you representing my whole band,’ Mr Gordon said, ‘[and] I am also representing a large demographic of like-minded younger people in Byron Bay as well as thousands of fans around the world that come to Ewingsdale every year just to take pictures of the street sign. He told Cr Woods, ‘your decision to approve the Lot 101 development is utterly shocking and appalling. ‘Byron and Ewingsdale are very special places… And a massive part

of this is the fact that it still remains somewhat unspoiled from repugnant developments such as this. ‘I’m not going to outlay the numerous reasons that this is wrong as far sewerage, roads, infrastructure, etc as I know you have heard these facts and they obviously have no effect. But if there’s one issue that should be important and listened to… it is this: the community does not want this.’

‘Golden years’ In reply to Mr Gordon, Cr Woods emailed that while she understood his concerns, ‘being quite young, you aren’t thinking of what happens as you reach the golden years and the needs that come with that. ‘I can assure you that the kind of development that is proposed for this site is appropriate and much needed to service the needs of the aged in our shire. I can also assure you that the proposed development is a much better solution [compared] to other kinds of development that could occur on that land, continued on page 2

The three-day festival focused on all creative aspects of surf culture through displays of surf art, photography, live music, films, history, workshops, literature, markets,

design, craft, innovation, presentations, sustainability, youth art, a swap-meet, surfing and lifestyle. The festival was mostly held in the Byron Bay town centre.

01 bypass EIS ‘contradicts council claims’

On Parkway Drive: Parkway Drive band founder Ben Gordon.

The Butler Street Community Network group campaigning against the Byron Shire Council’s adopted Butler Street bypass route has gained access to documents detailing the approved 2001 Bypass EIS. This 2001 route placed the bypass on the rail corridor with a further connection to Kendall Street via the Byron Street road reserve. President and spokesperson for the community group, architect Paul Jones, said, ‘The approved 2001 study and plans come as quite a sur-

prise as the findings represent fundamentally the same conclusions we came to in our Stage 1 and Stage 2 “Grab The Rail” bypass proposal.’ According to the group, the 2001 approvals stand in clear contradiction to the claims by Council and local MP Don Page that the rail corridor was not wide enough to accommodate a road bypass alongside the railway line. In 2001 the railway was still operational and the bypass approval was in full consultation with State Rail.

The Butler Street group said it made several attempts, including a ministerial letter, to get clarification from Council’s general manager Ken Gainger on the issue of the corridor width. However, a recent communication from Mr Page MP notified Council, councillors and the community that, ‘The rail corridor at Byron Bay will not accommodate the existing rail track in addition to a two-lane road and a rail trail. It is not wide enough continued on page 2

Local News

North Coast news daily:

Group contests Council’s bypass version continued from page 1 according to Mr Terry Brady, general manager, Country Rail Contracts, Transport for NSW.’ Attempts by The Echo and the Butler Street Group to seek further clarification of this advice from Mr Brady have been unsuccessful. ‘What is most disappointing in all of this,’ said Mr Jones, ‘is that our councillors have been misled into believing the that the rail corridor was unsuitable for a bypass road and subsequently voted down our submission for the rail corridor to be considered as an alternative route for the bypass. ‘Clearly the 2001 EIS which detailed engineering drawings, costing and a full matrix of impacts and benefits with over eight route al-

ternatives examined stands as a significant precedent. The planned bypass allowed for an ultimate four-lane road including operational railway line. The study demonstrates that locating the bypass road on the rail corridor is not only feasible but also the preferred alternative, minimising environmental impacts and cheaper to build than the Butler Street option the council has currently resolved to pursue.

Bypass template ‘Council has now commissioned its consultants GHD to undertake new investigations and design of the bypass. The 2001 EIS stands as a readymade template for this exercise as little has changed to negate the original findings

other than we now have a non-operational railway line and the possible inclusion of a maximum three-metre wide rail trail. ‘The Butler Street Community Network has now called again on Council to include the rail corridor route in the new investigations including the Kendall Street link and Cemetery Road link. ‘If Council continues to refuse our requests for inclusion of the rail corridor alternative, we demand to know why: why Don Page and his advisers have directed against the 2001 Bypass EIS findings and the details upon which they base their claims.’ You can view the 2001 bypass EIS at www.byron.nsw. gov.au/projects/byron-baybypass.

Federal parties hard in the park

4 DAYS 12 VENUES OVER 120 PERFORMANCES & WORKSHOPS

Last Saturday saw the 13th Federal Park Party run in the centre of the village with a wonderful carnival atmosphere, great food and entertainment. A very talented Hannah Parrington won the busking competition and a German short-haired pointer called Buddy won the dog show – pet human Alexander was very happy about that. There was a great turnout to support this community celebration and everyone seemed to enjoy the tunes

of the Jesse Morris Band, Monica and Bridget Brandolini, Sister Remedy and Wayward Nightingales as well as local school children from Goonengerry School and Upper Coopers Creek School. DJs Pob, Mel and Scotty Brimstone played tunes after dark to the dancing hinterland crowd. The rain held off through the afternoon though dark clouds threatened and the last dancers swayed until late in the evening.

eg cemeteries, crematoriums, transport terminals and many other unsavoury kinds of development. ‘The developers are entitled to develop their land but their wish is to do so in conjunction with the help of the residents who will be their neighbours, so that whatever finally goes on the land will be something that everyone can live with.’ Cr Woods also said she would ‘do my best to work with the community also, to help get something that is acceptable.’ At its October 9 meeting Council voted 5–4 to support the development proposed by Belbeck Investments, while

residents called for an extra 28 days to consider the proposal. At Council’s next meeting on October 30 Crs Richardson, Dey and Cameron intend to move a rescission motion on the October 9 resolution. If successful they will move for Council to put the proposal on exhibition for 28 days, with at least two community information sessions being held. According to Mr Gordon, in the 11 years Parkway Drive has been playing ‘we have played 72 countries, received three gold records, two platinum DVDs, an ARIA award, Rolling Stone awards and have acquired millions of fans around the world’.

Byron Shire Council last week introduced to the media the team set to work on its masterplan for Byron Bay. One of the aims is to ‘activate’ sections of the town and Council put that into practice on Saturday night in conjunction with the Byron Bay Surf festival, turning over Bay Lane to public entertainment. A session early on Thursday morning with about 40 business people resulted in a map full of ideas, one of the early steps in developing a long-term plan that, according to mayor Simon Richardson, will be funded and implemented. The planners brought in for the project are McGregor Coxall. They have worked on the Wollongong Public Spaces Public Life 2014, Manly 2015 Master Plan and the Unanderra Town Centre Master Plan. McGregor Coxall will be collaborating with Byron Bay architects Space Studio. Council says it is looking for creative and innovative

Residents petition Page on CSG concerns Story & photo Darren Coyne

Byron Shire residents visited Ballina MP Don Page’s office last Wednesday to present a petition calling for the shire to be declared gasfield free. They were met by office staff: the MP himself was in Sydney as parliament is sitting. The action is a lead-up to the Gasfield Free Northern Rivers rally, which will be held in Lismore on Saturday November 1. Organisers said the petition represented 14,762 households across Byron Shire who have said they want to remain gasfield free. Both the Australian Greens and Labor have declared their support for a region-wide gasfield-free declaration, but the Nationals have so far declined to do so. In a statement to The Echo later, Mr Page said, ‘Even though there is no CSG in

Byron Shire I support the sentiments expressed in the petition and a gasfield-free Ballina electorate.’

Time to listen Byron Shire Gasfields Free coordinator Olga Tresz said it was time for the government to listen. ‘Ninety-seven per cent of Byron shire said no gasfields. We are concerned about the toxic influence of this industry on this beautiful region and we need Don

to pass on our desire for this area to remain gasfield free to Anthony Roberts, the minister for resources and energy,’ she told Echonetdaily. Ms Tresz said the next major action would be to join with the rest of the northern

rivers community on November 1 at a rally in Lismore’s Riverside Park at 10am. ‘All of the northern rivers will be there. Organisers are expecting 20,000 people but I think it will be even more than that,’ she said. ‘The Nationals need to listen to us and if they don’t we might see a change of government next year.’ She also said it would be ‘totally wrong’ if Metgasco was awarded any compensation as a result of its Supreme Court challenge to the suspension of its licence to drill at Bentley.

Local News Actor activist activates creatives Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Equal parts actor and activist with a pinch of larrikin, Tony Barry says the best way to deal with shit is to turn it into compost. Tony feels that it has been proven over many years that violent action fails to achieve the desired result in conflict, so another tack is the best bet. ‘Aggression doesn’t work’, he says. ‘The whole idea of conflict and argument doesn’t work. We have to come to a place of love – that was what Bentley was all about. It was a place of love for the land and love for successive generations.’ To this end Tony, along with Greg Aitken and Michael Hennessy, are hosting an event on Friday and Saturday evening. They are calling on all actors, performers, artists, musicians, filmmakers and other creative folk pissed off by political bastardry to partcipate. ‘Politicians can’t be trusted,’ says Tony. ‘They have become carpetbaggers for the corporations and the banksters are hell bent on indebting everyone.’ The idea of the event is to

take the piss through a creative collective of ideas and insights. Friday night will be the workshop rehearsal phase and Saturday will see items filmed for a social media onslaught, including uploads to Facebook and YouTube. A similar event held earlier in the year proved to be a huge success with some wonderful material being generated by those who attended.

The Show will be officially opened at noon on Saturday 9 by The Mullumbimby Bloke, poet and spinner of bush yarns, Ray Essery. The 2014 Showgirl will then be announced. The talent quest, including sections for best original song is open in child and adult categories and judged by local country star Clelia Adams and director of the Mullumbimby Music Festival, Glen Wright. There is free entry to the Show for members and you can join for $10 a year at Mullum Newsagency, Stewart’s Menswear, Tony Carsburg, and Mullum Rural Co-op. See more at http:// mullumbimbyshow.org.au.

Tony says that he hopes that participating pranksters will find ways to create a more nourishing game to play. ‘If we’re to avoid perennial servitude we all have to stand up now.’ The event will run from 6pm on both Friday and Saturday evenings at the Drill Hall in Mullumbimby. A gold coin donation would be lovely.

Local News Schoolies HUB needs support

Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson and HUB coordinator Niqui Yazdi. Photo Jeff Dawson

The Byron Schoolies Safety Response is struggling to come up with the much-needed funds to make the 2014 Schoolies HUB as successful as in other previous years. They are looking for assistance from businesses and the local community to help out this year. This will be the sixth year of the Schoolies HUB, a massive marquee in Main Beach Park, open 24/7 until December 8. The HUB volunteers work around the clock in four-hour shifts, providing visitor information, health information,

condoms, first aid, water and whatever other assistance they can to young visitors. There are some businesses who, year after year, contribute to the efforts of the Schoolies HUB, but so far this year the HUB is half-way to the target budget of $24,000. If your business or organisation may be able to help out, then contact the coordinator Nicqui Yazdi on 0402 013 177 or email nicquiyazdi@yahoo. com.au. If you’d like to volunteer for the HUB, email hubvolunteers@yahoo.com.au.

Lost and Broken installed

The Chandelier of the Lost and Broken was installed in the stairwell of the Byron Community Centre last Friday. It is a community project that has created a chandelier out of broken and lost pieces of jewellery that have been donated to the project over the last few months. Four workshops were held at the Community Centre in September. Participants adorned chandelier cups and lengths of crystals with their own donations of lost and broken jewellery, cufflinks, small heirlooms and even a set of keys. Stories were shared and friendships forged over the project’s goal of raising

awareness of mental health issues, particularly teen mental health. Ilona Harker and Victoria Spring, pictured, are the mothers of this exciting project and are donating the profits to The Chrysalis Girls Program, a prevention-based youth development and support program conceived by young women for young women. Chrysalis is a holistic counselling program that over the past seven years has delivered weekly group counselling sessions and community-building conferences to identified ‘at risk’ adolescent girls in high schools in northern NSW.

Holiday accommodation report welcomed, disappointment that zones not pursued: VOHL The long-awaited Draft Byron Shire Short Term Holiday Accommodation (STHA) Report was released last Thursday. Previously, ‘STHA’ was also known as holiday letting. Doug Luke, co-ordinator of Victims of Holiday Letting (VOHL), commended the authors of the report for the development control plan section on regulation. However, he said VOHL members are ‘deeply disappointed’ that Council’s original proposal for the development of precincts or zones has not been pursued. VOHL presented the case that zones or precincts should be developed in areas where there are existing high concentrations of STHA and streets having minimal or no STHA should not be included in precincts or zones. ‘VOHL members recognise that holiday accommodation is an important part of Byron tourism and its economy,’ Mr Luke said.

Case for zones ‘Therefore, we supported the Council motion to investigate precincts or zones and develop a development control plan for regulation. VOHL researched the issue and attended Council-organised workshops to present their ideas and make suggestions. ‘The Report states, “Discussion with Department of Planning and Environment on draft precinct and zoning options indicated their lack of support to both options as they would concentrate the location of STHA, potentially create “ghost communities” when tourists leave and pose equity [sic] to existing holiday homes outside the zone”. ‘VOHL members who live in areas where there is a high

concentration of STHAs say that the “ghost communities” already exist as they don’t know the short-term occupants, and, in some instances the owners. These properties often have high occupancy during the year and the occasional vacancy gives neighbours a little respite, peace and quiet. ‘Further, the report says, “Although the zoning option has some merit, Council is moving forward with an open model, which will enable any existing dwelling, so long as the dwelling is permissible under Byron LEP 2014, to be rented as a holiday home”. Any permanent resident in an R2 (formerly 2(a)) zone could thus have an STHA as their neighbour at any time.

‘No certainty’ ‘The Report claims to “improve certainty for holiday home owners/managers, guests, neighbours and community”. VOHL strongly disagrees as there will be no certainty for all permanent and future residents who purchase in what they see as a residential zone and then find that an STHA is their neighbour. ‘VOHL will continue to argue the case for zones or precincts. ‘We urge all permanent residents to read the draft strategy to submit written comments when it goes on public exhibition for 28 days, subject to a majority of councillors voting in favour of the motion on October 30. ‘This is an issue that has the potential to affect all permanent residents.’ The draft report is on page 37 of the October 30 agenda available at www.byron. nsw.gov.au/meetings/201410-30-ordinary.

The fix was in to get Gough

Volume 29 #20

October 28, 2014

The pressure of change It is a truth universally acknowledged that things change. How agreeable that change is depends on your ambitions and priorities. In some cases, like in the heat death of a planet from a super solar flare, all wants and desires would be rendered redundant. It would be a fairly safe bet that the Indigenous nations of the northern rivers were none too chuffed with the arrival of the new Australian settlers, laying claim to territory and cutting down cedars on the basis of fabricated rights dreamed up by makers of artificial laws. In more recent memory, the arrival of the hairy new settlers in the early 1970s, buying up dairy farms and walking naked down perfectly respectable Mullum lanes, would have upset some longtime locals, though the town’s merchants would have seen the benefit of the influx of dole cheques and the revenue from the new cash crop, the herb superb. More recently still, the purchase by the Cornells of the top pub in Byron Bay, once known for its rough reputation, and its rebuilding in 1990 serves as a symbol of the influx of serious money and intense tourist attention. All change brings pressure, not only on the human residents but also on the natural environment. One of those hairy settlers, Nicholas Shand (1948–1996), the founder of this paper, even suggested in a filmed interview with David Bradbury that it might have been better if his lot had not added to the pressure – at the same time forcefully noting that overdevelopment could be stopped. The pressure on the natural environment and its human residents in Byron Shire is now particularly intense, with a perceived swing in the local council away from the highest environmental standards in favour of increased higher-density development at the entrance to the Bay at least. Brunswick Heads has also received a wake-up call in the form of the holiday parks trust, which seems to have a patrician approach, echoing the Joh Bjelke-Petersen School Of ‘Don’t You Worry About That’, to our public lands. Those who campaigned long and hard to see that Byron’s planning controls were set to protect the natural treasures which attracted people here in the first place must be infuriated. With all this in mind, it’s worth pointing out that the oft-promoted slogan ‘you can’t stop progress’ is a complete furphy, without real definition or meaning, and that the nature of development, and the consequent state of the natural environment (which, incidentally, we are a part of) is dependent on the Shire’s current residents. Part of the pressure of change is the conflicting desires. For example, can koalas be protected and affordable housing also be built? Will the Bay’s proposed masterplan be able to cater for both residents and cars? Will various northern rivers settlement strategies be torn up entirely by the state government in favour of denser population? And most importantly, to paraphrase a Clint Eastwood character, how can we tell who’s pissing down our backs and telling us it’s raining? The current situation certainly needs less heat and more light but the pressure of change makes that difficult. It might lead some to think we made a big mistake when on a wet Sunday two and half million years ago we came down from the trees. Michael McDonald

s numerous eye-glazing speeches could attest, Gough Whitlam was a great lover of the Constitution and the parliament. Like his friend and sparring partner James Killen, Whitlam had a respect bordering on reverence for the forms and practices of the Australian version of Westminster. This did not mean that he believed them to be unchangeable, set in stone; indeed much of his working life was spent in trying to modify and reform them when he felt it necessary. But he always did so within the accepted boundaries: Whitlam, while he could be a radical when it came to policy, was always a gradualist, a Fabian when it came to process. He believed in referendum, not revolution. He assiduously followed the rules, both in the letter and the spirit. But his opponents were not so scrupulous, and that was what ultimately destroyed him and his government. From the moment the Labor administration was elected, the conservatives determined to do whatever it would take to bring it down. After 23 years, they regarded their rejection as an affront, an aberration; the natural law – their law – must be restored. And any excuse would do; if Whitlam employed tactics and strategy to achieve his aims, the coalition leaders cried foul and went feral. Thus in 1974, Whitlam and his colleagues devised a scheme to take control of the senate by persuading a sitting DLP senator, Vince Gair, to resign and take up a diplomatic post. This was certainly unusual, even sneaky, but it was entirely legitimate. However, the then leader Billy Snedden took the unprecedented step of forcing an election by using his senate numbers to block the budget. Of course, budget measures were and are regularly postponed and rejected, as the current administration knows all too well. But

this was not a routine measure: the coalition withheld what is known as the supply bills, the money appropriated for the dayto-day working of government especially in paying the public service. This was seen as an outrageous breach of convention, never before seriously contemplated, let alone implemented. In 1967 the Labor senate leader Lionel Murphy had mooted the idea to Whitlam, who summarily dismissed it as unthinkable. But the coalition took the plunge not once but twice: in 1975 Malcolm Fraser devised an encore. He was only able to do so by another egregious breach. When

signed through the Executive Council of Cabinet. But the whole thing went wrong, and eventually Whitlam removed the commission of Connor, as minister for minerals and energy, to end negotiations. However, Connor persisted, still searching for the fairytale millions. The Australian’s foreign editor, Greg Sheridan, in a series of graceless articles immediately after Whitlam’s death suggested that Whitlam had in fact given Connor a wink: if the money could still be secured, all would be forgiven. At the time Sheridan was fomenting DLP conspiracies in student politics. I was on the spot in Canberra and

From the moment the Labor administration was elected, the conservatives determined to do whatever it would take to bring it down. by Mungo MacCallum the Queensland Labor senator Bert Millner died in office, the state premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen replaced him not with another Labor nominee, but with an opponent, the risible Patrick Albert Field. Once again, this had not happened since Federation; replacements within the same party had always been automatic, and indeed have now become so by law. But Field, with instructions to oppose Labor without question or hesitation, gave Fraser the numbers he needed. His trigger was the sacking of a senior minister, Rex Connor, over what was known as the Loans Affair. This had entailed an attempt to build massive infrastructure by securing petro dollar funds from the Arabs through unconventional sources. Once again, this was unusual, and in the end reckless, even foolhardy; but in spite of what was later alleged, it was in no sense illegitimate. The relevant decisions, albeit in secret, were

from my first-hand knowledge can testify that this was not true: when Whitlam found out he was incandescent. But in any case, Sheridan’s fantasy misses the point: Connor was dismissed, not for pursuing the loan, but for misleading parliament – the same crime that had undone the hapless Jim Cairns. For Whitlam, this was the unforgiveable sin: he knew sacking Connor would bring dire political consequences, but he felt he had no choice: parliament was supreme. To a normal observer Whitlam deserved praise for his adherence to principle, but for Fraser it was what he called an extraordinary and reprehensible circumstance, and pulled the trigger: which brings us to the governor-general, Sir John Kerr. Whitlam was confident that Kerr would remain on side not because he was weak (which he was, as Fraser has since confirmed) but because he was bound to follow the advice of

his ministers. This, after all, was the convention observed by the British monarch – Kerr’s superior – for centuries. But Kerr had already broken ranks: he had taken counsel and encouragement from the chief justice and former Liberal attorney-general Garfield Barwick, who was also the cousin of Fraser’s own shadow attorney, Robert Ellicott. So Fraser was prepared: Fraser was lurking when Whitlam saw Kerr to tender his advice to call a half-senate election, and when Kerr refused and Whitlam indignantly knocked back Kerr’s demand for an election for the House of Representatives, Kerr dismissed him. Whitlam’s immediate (and conventional) response was that he would go to the Queen: Kerr replied that he had already terminated his commission and produced the document. Rather than throw it in his face, as his feisty wife Margaret later suggested, he meekly concurred: to the last he followed the rules. Kerr did not: when later the speaker of the House, Gordon Scholes, went to inform him that the parliament had voted confidence in Whitlam, Kerr refused to see him, an act of authoritarianism not seen since the days of King Charles I. This was indeed, as Whitlam called it, a coup, a putsch. But maintaining his loyalty to the system that had failed him, he stood stony faced as the viceroy’s aide-decamp shut down parliament and set him up for an election he knew he was doomed to lose: if Kerr, the governor-general he had appointed, had dismissed him, the voters would believe he had done something unforgivable. They didn’t know what it was, but that didn’t matter. It was all over. So Whitlam stayed by the rules and was smashed – leaving his office to his enemies, but with his consistency, conviction and integrity untarnished. They don’t make them like that any more.

Endangered trees under threat New South Wales Crown Holiday Park Trust’s (NSWCHPT) October circular, distributed to letterboxes in the Shire, aims to ingratiate the community in its commitment to develop stronger relationships with the locals. However, its statement ‘We take caring for the environment very seriously’ has a hidden and reeking underbelly. At issue is the coastal cypress pine forest in the southern area of The Terrace caravan park, Brunswick Heads. These pines are listed on the NSW north coast bioregion as an endangered ecological community under the Threatened Species Conservation Act, which is administered by the Office of the Environment and Heritage. Some of these trees are also located in SEPP 14 wetlands. When Byron Shire Council (BSC) managed the cara-

van park, the area south of Nana Street was used for overflow tent sites during Christmas and Easter only. Since BSC’s removal as manager of the Reserve Trust in December 2006, North Coast Accommodation Trust (NCAT) savagely pruned the lower branches of these coastal cypress pines to make way for all-year-round use of sites for the large mobile homes and caravans. Their management represented an intensification and change in the conventional use of the area and most probably accounts for the compaction of the tree root systems. Root systems of most of the trees were also cut to install underground cabling and plumbing to many of the previously unpowered tent sites in an area that was outside the operational area of the caravan park’s bound-

aries. Furthermore, without drainage pits, caravan park clientele regularly dump wastewater around the trees, putting them at further risk. NSWCHPT/NCAT recently put in an application (note not a publicised DA) to BSC to have six of the coastal cypress pines removed on the grounds that they lacked ‘structural integrity’. That application has been refused by BSC. The applicants will now approach the Office of Environment and Heritage for state approval to have the trees removed. In all probability, that application will be leveraged on ‘safety’ and this word is echoed, without context, in the flyer. NSWCHPT has claimed in its flyer that it will ‘carry out seed collection, compensatory planting… to offset any impact from the removal or lopping of native vegeta-

tion for safety reasons.’ The flyer dismisses any mention of what NCAT has been doing under what has been described as appalling tree management practices since BSC was dismissed. Compensatory planting is code for refusing to plant and nurture seedlings in any space where a tree is removed. In circumstances where research indicates that some of these coastal cypress pines were planted by locals from Byron, Mullumbimby, Billinudgel and Brunswick Heads, who nurtured these to sustainability as a memorial to WWI soldiers, and that some were planted as memorial to the pupils from Brunswick Heads Primary School who died from a diphtheria epidemic, onsite planting ought to be mandatory.

Festivals appreciated

pleasantly surprised when asked to come on board as an assistant for North Byron Parklands (NBP). In the time I have spent with NBP working on Splendour In The Grass 2014 I have been able to gain a broad perspective of all the elements that it takes to bring together such a large music festival including the regulatory, legal and logistical sides of the event. I have been asked to come back on board with NBP for the Falls Music and Arts

Festival over December and January this year to extend my experience. I wanted to share my appreciation towards festivals like Splendour In The Grass and The Falls Festival for coming to the Shire so that it allows young people like myself to pursue our career ambitions without having to move to the city or interstate.

The pros and cons of Cr Wanchap’s political stance Q Councillor Wanchap’s halfpage ad in The Echo last week was full of errors and ill-conceived notions that confirm why she continues to perplex and outrage the community. A case in point is her misinformation concerning koalas. Byron’s draft coastal koala plan of management was prepared by koala expert Steve Phillips, under the supervision of a project reference group including the Department of Planning and Environment and the Office of Environment and Heritage. It has taken years and included a number of workshops which Cr Wanchap did not bother attending. Surveys have found 240 koalas surviving along Byron’s coastline. The koala plan of management concludes that in order to ensure the survival of this free-ranging population we need to stop clearing koala habitat and instead increase it by 20 per cent. The West Byron development is about removing koala trees and further fragmenting their habitat. Why does Cr Wanchap try to diminish the significance of West Byron to koalas?

Every survey conducted has recorded koalas on site and it’s recognised as critical to the survival of all our 240 approx remaining coastal koala population. And why does she cite the report written by the developers’ consultant to make her point? That study is not independent, whereas Council’s study was conducted by an independent expert with over four decades of experience in the field and with no agenda. Cr Wanchap’s olive branch for agreeing to the destruction of core koala habitat and development in buffer zones is some half-baked idea to operate a koala hospital/sanctuary tourist business venture at the West Byron site. We will indeed need a koala hospital if the highly congested West Byron development goes ahead. Cate Coorey Byron Residents’ Group Q Rose Wanchap rightly points

out that 1.5 million tourists a year have a big impact on Byron’s infrastructure. But she then suggests we pay for it by squeezing 900 more families into the town. This doesn’t

make sense. If the number of tourists went up would we just keep building more and more houses? Why don’t the tourists help pay for the damage? In many parts of Europe and USA a small ‘bed tax’ raises funds to provide local facilities. Business owners usually protest when this is proposed because they don’t want to collect it but the alternatives are higher rates or an overcrowded and overdeveloped town. Patsy Brosnan Suffolk Park Q Thank you, Rose Wanchap,

for continuing to fight for more housing opportunities and bringing perspective to the West Byron development. I came to Byron nine years ago with my son and partner because it represented an open-minded, openhearted, progressive, environmentally friendly community. We now reside near Federal as we cannot afford the exorbitant rents in town. It pains me that I travel close to 600km a week to get to work and the kids to school. The dream of owning a home, cycling to town and ditching the second car is long gone. I have countless friends that live in dark, mould-infested garages and rooms, paying ridiculous rents or driving long distance to get to their underpaid jobs in town. These are the people who make our coffees, care for the elderly, fix decks, child-mind, clean holiday accommodation, mow lawns, and generally make Byron the diverse place it presents itself to be. Most of them are on the continued from page 11

As a member of parliament, this is how I will choose to operate. Consult the electorate, vote in the parliament. Hopefully we can come up with a secure, secret ballot, online system. For this trial, we’ll be using an old-fashioned ballot box. With other MPs taking it up, this system may solve the so-called dilemmas of democracy. For the sake of the exercise, we will be voting on a bill to cease all infrastructure spending in Sydney, and aim for a stable population.

verge of leaving. And yes, there will be more misguided people arriving in town to replace them – but is this the Byron we want to protect? The population of the world is growing, and Byron is not separate from this. I’m starting to think I’m living in a materialistic and negative community interested only in protecting their own property values, under the guise of protecting ‘the Byron lifestyle’ and the environment. I’d really like to stay and be a part of the solution, but I’m not sure if I’m welcome. Jo Hadad Federal Q I

was very impressed with Cr Rose Wanchap’s advertisement in last week’s Echo, and I think it’s a shame that Rose had to pay The Echo for the page to make sure an honest account (no twisting of the truth by Hans Lovejoy) is given to her constituents. Most of her statements make a lot of sense, and no councillor should be bullied, and especially not to toe a party line. This is precisely why councillors should be elected only after carefully looking at their policies, their integrity and honesty, and their history of previous community initiatives and support. There should be no political parties in Council. No party blocs, no manipulation, no bullying. Just look out for the community’s best interests across the Shire and remember that’s why your constituents voted you in to Council in the first place. The Greens don’t corner

Property elephant Something which is obvious but not discussed is called the elephant in the room. In this case the elephant is ignored completely. There are on average 750,000 people in Australia who are fulltime unemployed. They receive on average $330 per week. They pay on average $175 per week in rent. This means that over the course of a year the federal government puts nearly $7

the market on ‘green’ initiatives; there are plenty of conservationists out there doing great things in our towns and reserves, and all of them deserve the respect and support of our communities. Don’t resign because a small band of radical Greens can’t get their own way. Keep making a difference, Rose. The wider community needs a strong voice like yours in Byron Shire Council. Tina Petroff Ocean Shores

You say that the proposed Ewingsdale Seniors Living Village will ‘focus on delivering high quality, affordable/ achievable ... aged care...’. Sounds great but can it be seriously suggested that the units will be affordable for seniors to either buy or rent if they are on a full or part aged care pension? It just doesn’t stack up. Rose, I hope you will reply to The Echo. Pam Ditton Byron Bay Q A careful, modest approach

Q I

wish to respond to just one of the many points raised by Cr Rose Wanchap last week – housing. It is not a ‘core Greens policy is to provide more housing’. The summary of Greens NSW housing policy is that we ‘believe that housing is a basic human right. Every person is entitled to have access to affordable, appropriate, safe and secure housing.’ How much can the stereotypical young family afford to pay for a modest home? My guess is under $400K, and that figure is probably too high. Are any of the proposed houses at West Byron going to sell for under 400K? As a real estate agent, Rose, can you look the community straight in the eye and say that this family will be able to afford a house at West Byron? I am not a real estate buff but I dispute that ‘supply and demand regulates the price of any product’ – there are other complex factors at play such as negative gearing which favour investors and push up the price out of reach of this young family. billion in the pockets of landlords. Very little of this is for a brand new, well-appointed house. In most cases it is for an older house, flat, converted garage, granny flat, spare room, or rundown shithole. If anyone is living it up it’s not the people on welfare. So next time you hear someone talking about property development as an investment opportunity just remember where the money comes from. Jim Barnes Brunswick Heads

Brand them all I think it’s terrific that female Islamist believers wear the burqa. Maybe the male Islamists should wear one, too, equal billing and all of that. It puts them in the league, maybe one up even,

to development and environmental sustainability are key merits of Byron Shire for residents and visitors. It seems to me this distinctive character of Byron Shire is best preserved by a Green-weighted shire council. So when I voted for Council, I voted Green. I don’t have much interest in the political machinations of Council, or ‘who uses/used/is using whom’ – I choose policies. I didn’t know what Rose Wanchap stood for when I voted – it didn’t matter; I just went for the Green ticket. I suspect many people did. Cr Wanchap has since gone her own way and has published what looks like a personal manifesto (Echo, October 14). The democratic thing for Cr Wanchap to do now would be to resign from Council and let voters decide whether they want her to represent them independent of the Greens.

on the Sikh turban, the Buddhist robe, the Turkish fez, the Hasidic Jew’s generally mournful attire, the Hindu dhoti, the Jewish skullcap, the Hairy Krishna’s robing, the Baghwan’s orange hue, all of these and more – the rings in the ears, the bone through the nose, the plate in the lower lip, the mark on the forehead are invaluable symbols of religious identification. I think that Catholics should be required to have a picture of the pope, postagestamp size would suffice, set between their eyes, and Anglicans and all of the rest of the sects and sub-sects of the various omnipotent-being believers should perhaps be required to wear some identifying garment or symbol establishing to which particular faith they belong.

Letters/Articles I am a believer that their garb/symbol should shout and the viewer only has to work out the connecting indicators. It would be enormously helpful for door-todoor salesmen but all of us could benefit, really, by being able to identify the particular leanings of the nutcase that we are addressing at any given time. This is about fourfifths of humanity, I believe. Above all else, the garb/ symbol shouts, ‘I am capable of complete self-delusion.’ Very valuable information for the 20 per cent of us left. I’m all for the burqa; bring it on, I say. Make it mandatory. Let’s get some more laws happening. Get big Tony on board. Hang on, he’s a Jesuit, isn’t he?

Electric bikes okay Derek Spice wrote in Letters (September 26) that he laments the passing of petrolpowered bicycles. It seems that a lot of people have confused that NSW legislation with electric bicycles. Electric bicycles have not been banned. In fact they are street legal in two flavours: • Complying 250-watt pedelecs (these have power-

assisted pedals, without a throttle). • 200-watt power-assisted pedal bicycles (can have a throttle). Of course, electric bicycles or tricycles must have pedals. The electric motor can be in a hub or somewhere on the drive chain. Unfortunately, four-wheeled bicycles are not street legal because they would be a threat to the car industry.

Tony’s generosity Just received a letter from Tony Abbott telling me the pension will increase by $11.50 a fortnight. Wow. This means $5.75 a week which equates to a small block of cheese.

Praise for Cr Hunter I met Alan Hunter when invited to a neighbourhood

Cr Wanchap’s voting pattern speaks for itself The Greens – and the electors – might consider they were handed a Trojan horse when they selected Rose Wanchap as their candidate if they looked at her voting pattern in Council over the last six months. Local resident Peter Gough has been recording the voting results on all motions/resolutions/recommendations made by Byron Shire councillors since April 10 this year, excluding the ones where they all voted either yes or no together. He did not count ‘a few insignificant votes such as amendments that were lost’. If we consider there are two blocs on Council – let’s call them Green (Greens councillors Richardson and Dey plus Cameron and Spooner) and the Conservatives (Crs Cubis, Woods,

Hunter and Ibrahim) – then on Mr Gough’s count when there has been a perfect ‘bloc’ split vote, Cr Wanchap has voted with the Conservatives 81 per cent of the time since April 2014. According to Mr Gough, ‘There were 59 significant [non-unanimous] motions/ resolutions/recommendations. ‘Of the 59, the voting was mixed in 25 cases (42 per cent) without a clear “bloc” pattern. Of the 59, there was a perfect “bloc” voting pattern in 21 cases. Of those Rose voted with the Green bloc four times and with the Conservative bloc 17 times. ‘Of the 59, Rose voted with Simon Richardson and Duncan Dey for a further four times, making eight times altogether that she voted with them.

‘Of the 59, Rose voted against Simon and Duncan a further nine times, meaning she voted against them 26 times [in total]. ‘That means that since April, Rose has voted against Simon and Duncan 44 per cent of the time, including 29 per cent where it was a clear bloc division. ‘Considering just the 21 times [of the 59 that councillors] voted exactly along bloc lines, Rose voted with the Conservatives 17 of those times, making it 81 per cent

of the time.’ It is also significant that Cameron and Spooner did not always vote with Richardson and Dey. That 42 per cent of the votes were mixed ‘without a clear bloc pattern’ also indicates that the council is not ‘Greens-dominated’ as their more hardline detractors wish the electorate to believe.

Local artist wins drawing prize Mullumbimby artist Emma Walker has won the the prestigious $20,000 Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award (JADA), by which the Grafton Regional Gallery acquires contemporary Australian drawing. Her work Keys Bridge in Flood was chosen by judge and Sydney Morning Herald art critic John McDonald. Walker was one of the 50 finalists selected from 345 entries. Northern rivers artists were well represented, works by Michael Cusack and Christine Willcocks were also acquired, and other artists selected included Robyn Sweaney, Angus McDonald, Michelle Dawson, Zom Osbourne, Jan Davis

Aged care legend steps down A quiet legend has retired. Ian Cook worked as an engineer at Byron Shire Council for 45 years from 1958. Ian also designed Byron’s oldest age- care facility, Byron Aged Care, in 1969, and has been a board member ever since. When BAC required someone to design its first building Ian volunteered pro bono because when gaining his engineering degree at Sydney University he received a high distinction in building design. Last week mayor Simon Richardson presented a plaque from BAC in appreciation. Ian noted, ‘We were one of Australia’s first nursing homes to have ensuites. I didn’t want it to be like an institution. ‘I designed it for our climate. Each unit’s room has doors and windows suited to LETTERS continued from page 13

I often walk my dogs down Pinegroves Road and drive past it two or three times a day and I have never yet met a truck, only residents’ cars. I often think how lucky the residents are to be away from the heavy traffic that speeds along Tyagarah Road. In my opinion those overlooking such a well-kept and pretty farm should consider themselves lucky and remember it is a business and was probably operating as such before most of the

There’ll be quite a lot of shouting.’ – Gustave Flaubert 1850 I don’t mean to cheapen the historical relevance of this quotation or to restrict it to our nation given world events, but are we there yet? Despite the freedom and tolerance of this community, political slagging, economic greed and self-interest make the northern rivers no further from pushing flush. For one, our representatives and councils should be leading by example and for the right reasons.

But I am not terribly keen on being pigeonholed. ‘I want the freedom to explore whatever directions my practice takes me.’ The artist is part of the Byron School of Art (http://byronschoolofart.com/) which holds regular talks in the Court House Hotel with another local art group, C.A.S.E. ‘We offer support for emerging and established artists as well as an encouraging platform for the complete beginner,’ says Emma.

Epic effort from a string of Pearls The Bangalow Primary School Pearls girls’ football team came an outstanding third out of 370 schools in the recent Primary School Sports Association (PSSA) state championships held at Lake Macquarie. The girls progressed through a seven-round knockout to make the final four. In the finals, they lost the first game to Port Stephens 4–1 and went into the play-off for third against Parkes. They played some great soccer and registered a crushing 6–1 win. In the end, third in the state out of 370 schools is quite an achievement and is a first for any school team from Bangalow. The community is proud of them and the girls and parents are just as proud of the Bangalow community and others for all their support time, effort and fundraising.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm Corsica has been a happy hunting ground for Viswanathan Anand. The Indian won his first Corsica Masters title in 2000 and became friends with the organiser, a former political prisoner in the failed cause of Corsican independence, Leo Battesti. Since then Anand has returned to the French island on a regular basis, as well as encouraging others to visit Corsica. However, Anand’s decision to play in the Corsican Circuit rapid event this week – just a fortnight before his world title challenge begins in Sochi – raised some eyebrows. Anand cruised through the first two rounds before suffering a huge shock, losing to littleknown Ukrainian Grandmaster Sergey Fedorchuk. This gave the World Champion a chance to take the title – not Magnus Carlsen, who is currently preparing for his world title defence in the Alps, but Women’s World Champion Hou Yifan. The 20-year-old Chinese star looked shaky throughout the tournament, being several times

on the brink of elimination, but in the final she seemed much more focused, winning a long first game before brushing away Fedorchuk’s desperate attacking efforts in the second game to complete a 2-0 victory in front of a full house of 500 chess fans at the Palais des Congres d’Ajaccio. Hou’s best form was seen in the fourth game of her first round match, below. Corisca 2014 White: Hou Yifan Black: R Dimitrov Opening: Caro-Kann Defence 1.e4 c6 2.c4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.cxd5 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nxd5 6.Nf3 Nc6 7.Bb5!? 7.Bd3 would be the traditional way of handling this line of the once-feared Panov-Botvinnik Attack. 7...e6 8.0-0 Be7 9.d4 0-0 10.Re1 Nxc3 After 10...Bd7, Carlsen’s 11.Bd3! is annoying for Black. 11.bxc3 Qc7 12.Qe2 Bf6? Irrelevant now that the d4 pawn is secure. 13.Bd3! b6 14.Bg5! Bxg5 15.Nxg5 h6 15...g6 16.Qe4 is also ugly for Black. 16.Qe4! g6 17.Nxf7! Qxf7 Black has been relying on this defence, since 17...Rxf7 18.Qxg6+ Rg7 19.Qe8 is checkmate. 18.Qxc6 Bd7 19.Qe4 Qxf2+ 20.Kh1 Qf6 21.Re3! Rac8 22.Rg3 1-0 Black lost on time, though after 22...Be8 23.Rf3 White’s attack is close to decisive.

In 2007, Stephanie Gilmore a high school student from Tweed Heads, qualified for the pinnacle in women’s surfing, the ASP World Tour. In her rookie year Steph led the charge to win the World Championships at just 19 years of age. She claimed four World Championships in as many years and seemed untouchable until a violent turn of events abruptly ended her winning streak. ‘Life could not get any better, and

then the universe just flipped upside down’, says Steph. Stephanie in the Water is intimate documentary that follows Steph on the professional circuit as she reassesses her future.

Tragedy hits league lover in Perth Growing up in Mullumbimby, Wayde Kelly was always a lover of rugby league and he and fiancée Kymberlie Shepherd were just about to start their very own junior team when tragedy stuck. Wayde tragically lost Kymberlie during the birth of their son Kyden Thomas Bede Kelly in Perth on Thursday October 16. Wayde, who grew up with Titans forward of 2014 Cody Nelson, is of course devastated and several funds have been set up and fundraising events planned to support rugby league lover and servant. Wayde, now 26, is well known around league circles on the Gold Coast and northern NSW and was once a wouldbe Titan who played for Burleigh Bears. He recently moved to Perth to work in the NRL development department and played for the premiership-winning South Perth team. Kym had been teaching at Safety Bay school in Perth but was for many years a dance teacher on the Gold Coast, and a foundation Titans member. Kyden was born last Thursday and Kym suffered a rare amniotic fluid em-

bolism during the birth and tragically died. The embolism occurs when amniotic fluid (surrounding the baby in the uterus) or foetal material enters the mother’s bloodstream. Kym was an extremely popular figure around the Gold Coast and there have been many moving tributes in the past week, including from Reflections

Academy of Dance who have organised fundraising events including a concert, and South Perth Rugby League Club. Burleigh Bears are also organising a fundraising event in November; check out their website next week for details.

Photos and stories by Matthew Michaelis

‘I’ll have a greasy, oversized serve of recooked chips… can you top it with a once-fresh fillet of fish, encased in a mattress-sized superheated batter? Thanks…’ You wouldn’t order your takeaway like this, but in some towns and in some takeaway shops, this is the reality of the product being served. I’ve been harping on about takeaway food outlets these last weeks, not because I’ve never eaten an oil-soaked potato scallop, or had a late-night hotdog (Oh... some takeaway, I wished I hadn’t taken), but because I’m out-ing some of the local food ‘estabs’ that are doing a great job with our faster meal orders. Again, I stress, this is only a tiny selection of the myriad of wonderful food outlets that are operating in the northern rivers. It doesn’t include the market foodie outlets (stay tuned for these), the music foodie joints at festivals and the places I can’t physically get to. So, don’t fret if you’re not seeing those places in lights. Good things come to those who wait, though

in the case of this feature – the hungry that don’t wait (too long) for a healthy alternative to cooking a meal at home. The following will distract the wormy family members with a meal out and lend a break to those worn-out cooks staring glazed into their cook-books.

We thank Sarah Gunson (pictured) for her tireless contribution to this takeaway feature – a ‘model’ citizen

A Lazy Italian and a Fish Monger meet in a back lane... There’s a movement of folk who come into Byron Bay for their annual holidays. When you’ve just come into the area on a stay, you’re sometimes called a ‘blow-in’, though I have a feeling I’m still one after living in the area for over a decade. I’m meeting more and more itinerant travellers that wind up staying here for good (I’m one). Spresa and Steve Vella had been holidaying for nine years in the area, loving it each year but feeling like they didn’t quite know which place they liked more; their home, or their home away from home.

Honestly Good Food

So, when their son Kobi came along seven years ago, it was the catalyst they needed to get out of the big smoke. ‘It’s over six years ago we moved’, Spresa told me, ‘Kobi came along and we wanted to raise him in a strong healthy community. This sort of vibrant and inclusive community isn’t readily available in city areas.’ But there’s always the problem of what to do when you do get up here. Some just enjoy the scenery, others invest. ‘Here we were in Byron Bay and the opportunity arose to buy Mongers. We both – Steve and I – came to Mongers separately, but we ended up suggesting to each other that we buy it – it was synchronicity. I worked for one night before we decided to buy – I was completely awed by the absolute freshness and daily handling of the food at Mongers. Sacks of potatoes are brought in, they’re scrubbed back, leaving the skin on for nutrients, then they’re cut, lightly blanched in a low-temp oil that draws the sugar content out. This guarantees the chips cooked to order are soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. It’s not uncommon during busy times to go through 250kg of potatoes in a day’, Spresa went on to say. Don’t expect this sort of attention to be given to your food everywhere – it’s much Spresa, Steve and Kobi Vella – the family behind these successful enterprises easier when they’re frozen no doubt. This After three years Bay Lane had become like a second home to is a labour-intensive formula that’s based on ‘prepping’ genuine fresh ingredients, and this is what your dollar buys in a takeaway such as the Vellas. With the successful Mongers takeaway modus operandi Mongers. There are two things you just can’t fake: the first is fresh; under their belts, they created yet another home – in a business fresh food, fresh fish, veggies, seafood and oysters; and the second sense. A year ago, it made sense that Spresa and Steve expand close is smart business decisions. The Vellas strike me as clever business to home and in fact the space next to Mongers became available, so people. Spresa is a professional business consultant and clearly she they moved in. continued takes her own advice. Everything for a lazy day of takeaway

What do you get when you cross a fish monger with a lazy Italian? In this case, an expanding family business venture. If you think running just one insanely busy food enterprise would be difficult with a kid, then try adding another and see how you’d fare. The Vellas have their child to thank for the inspiration to open a family restaurant that a family of four can eat in for under $60. Considering, I bought Thai takeaway for four people recently and paid over $110; I’m guessing that under $60 for four is the new cheap. The Lazy Italian concept was based on the same principles as Mongers: fresh and fast takeaway; eat-in food. Similar, but it revolves around freshlymade schnitzels instead of fish, with a big choice of different sides. ‘We use local produce the likes of Hayter’s Hill for the beef schnitzel and chicken is locally purchased from the Byron Bay butcher, Trevor Mead. The schnitzels are shallow fried, never frozen, always thin and delicate’, Spresa explains. The sides include generous portions of steamed greens, lemon juice, almonds, shallots, chilli, or

Wrap-sters Bay Kebabs kicked off in 1992 and they haven’t closed since. What keeps a takeaway food outlet open seven days a week, 365 days a year? I don’t have a definitive answer. Perhaps kebabs are now the quintessential Aussie go-to takeaway? But these fast meals in a wrap are beacons for all nations to munch on, either to absorb a hard night, or to spend a hard-earned dollar on an almost complete meal. Kebabs are a food that we all seem to know; even when travelling in a strange country you’ll recognise these wrapped-up meals. The success of the Bay Kebab outlet seems to be all about branding. Along with the local folk, there’s a large global tourism contingent that moves through Byron Bay. When you join the tourist and local markets together and add late-night youth to the mix, you get an excited crowd-control situation, rather than a slow-dribbling customer base. The takeaway market is made up of people looking for a food that they know. A familiar feed that looks roughly the same each time they buy it, and when they find it, it’s over to the proprietor to create a return goodwill with their product. Bay Kebabs have done a good job of this formula food. It’s consistently good with all partners working the counter in shift or rotation. Jake Napoli, Cody Prasser and Nick Baker are the hands-on business partners here. The three went to school together at Alstonville High and developed a friendship that even twelve years at the pointy end of the hospitality industry hasn’t broken (yet). Jake’s mum, Kaylene Napoli, is the matriarch of the Bay Kebab, and although she no longer works the floor, she still looks out for business. These boys know their customers; after all they’re big hungry blokes themselves. I imagine this to be a perfect arrangement for mates in a business. One, or all, of the partners can be found on any day at the Bay Kebab shopfront. So, that’s the quality-control factor covered. Proprietors that front their own businesses have an immediate advantage over those that don’t and rely totally on a transitory staff. This may seem to be a no-brainer to you and me, but there are eateries around headed up by people who really couldn’t care less about the folk paying their wages. The other factor involved in creating many happy returns is the food itself. I chatted to Jake and Cody about their ingredients and their business. ‘We use chicken breast and lamb fillet’, they told me (the greasy composite meats are a definite turn-off for me, so we’re already off to a good start). ‘We have fun with the idea of kebabs with new fillings; like prawns, avocado, and aioli with fresh coriander salsa, topped with capers and pineapple. The menu’s been well patronised for the past twelve years, now we’re happy to introduce some new stuff; the “kebab of the week” features three of the top flavours that the crowds have favoured over time’, Jake Napoli explained. ‘We are known all around the world including interstate; in fact, five guys drove from Melbourne to Byron Bay on a hankering for a Bay Kebab. Each bought a Bay Kebab and a trucker hat. Then they lined up for another shout of the same and

perhaps a serve of rustic Italian vegetables; sweet potato, pumpkin, zucchini, roasted garlic. For the really hungry, a whopping side of Bolognese. ‘Whatever the fancy, be it a chilli prawn linguini or Bol’, all the food is prepared and cooked by qualified and practised chefs. There are no impurities, nothing artificial and no preservatives used in the kitchen; and vegetarians, coeliacs, gluten-intolerant people, meat eaters and plain hungry folk are all covered’, Spresa told me. The notion of ever-expanding business and corporate food systems that don’t include the human element is one that we see working the takeaway market often.

Many people send photos of sightings to the boys. Cody told me that he eats around eight times a week in his own kebab shop. ‘We play sport and really lead healthy lifestyles’, he said, ‘and if you look closely at the kebab, it’s a healthy alternative to other takeaway foods.’ They provide gluten-free wraps, salad bowls and prep everything fresh; from house-made tzatziki, tabouli and salsa to the vast turnover of fresh salad veggies.

SHORT STORIES, HOSPITALITY & TRAVEL

Take away the cars and corral your senses The plan was to take away the cars, add a dash of creativity, transform Bay Lane in Byron Bay into a pop-up outdoor dining area with colour, light, art and live music. And it seemed to work last Saturday night. The lane, already popular with diners, was busier than ever, especially as the event was held at the same time as the surf festival. Mayor Simon Richardson said the simple removal of cars brought the space to life. ‘Our region has the perfect climate for outdoor dining and the Bay Lane pop-up celebrated this outdoor lifestyle. This is a first for the lane and we hope through its success it will become a regular occurrence and not only for Bay Lane.’ Punters dined under the stars while being entertained by Byron’s creative talents including the Starboard Cannons, Electric Garden’s Silent Disco, Bay FM DJs Aqua and Cruisey Beats. Dazzling projections were supplied by North Coast Events; there was live digital drawing with Kellie O’Dempsey, large-scale sculpture, plus live art murals by Howie Cooke, Kellie O’Dempsey and Rene Bolton. There were also activities for children, with a hands-on play area, interactive chalk drawing, blackboard murals and workshops. Photos Jeff Dawson

BLOWING THEIR HORN FOR ISLAND VIBE

RUNNING ON DIESEL

BULLHORN ARE AN ACOUSTIC FORCE OF NATURE. Hailing from Brisbane, this 9-piece includes a massive seven horn players, one drummer and one monster MC. Their upbeat, familyfriendly shows are born from a high-octane mix of funk, soul, hip-hop, jazz, reggae and dance music. Tell me how you guys came to be playing together. I first put the band together back in 2011. There’re a lot of these brass and horn bands coming out of the States and eastern Europe, but most of them play hokey jazz or polkas. I was just keen to put together a brass band that played rad modern dance music. The band started as an instrumental group that also often worked with guest vocalists. At Island Vibe in 2012 we did a soul revue with heaps of great Brisbane vocalists including Billie Weston (Dubmarine), Laneous, Matt Witney (Dried Spider), and many others. Roman Albert (Roman MC) joined us on stage to do some rhymes and MC the show. Everything just clicked with him! We had such a great energy on stage together! We’ve been working with Ro ever since and never looked back. How do you organise nine players for rehearsals? Ha! With great difficulty! We’ve got some awesome players in Bullhorn, so that inevitably means they’re really busy. Our rehearsals generally have to be organised 2–3 months in advance if we’re gonna get everyone in a room together, and even then we often just have to rehearse in small groups or separately. Great to see so much brass – how do audiences react when you hit the stage? We get really varied reactions from audiences at first. Some get super-excited and pumped about the strange lineup of instruments! But then others tend to treat it like a concert, trying to be reserved and clap politely. But

once the groove kicks and Roman starts flowing everyone gets comfortable really quickly and heads for the dance floor. How do you go about creating songs for the band – is there a lot of improv, or is it pretty self-sorted? All Bullhorn songs are charted and written down in the dots. Every tune is carefully constructed. There is definitely some improv, but these are always defined improv sections. There are a lot of people writing in Bullhorn, but not all tunes make the cut. We only play what everyone in the band loves! How do you blend fun and soul and hiphop and jazz and reggae? Where do you draw inspiration? We draw inspiration from anywhere we can find it! Great music is great music from any genre or instrumentation. That’s the strength of Bullhorn: we try think outside of the box. We take the elements we love from any music we can find and make it our own. What are the challenges for an act like Bullhorn? To be honest: money. Music is a hard industry. Especially when you’re playing in a 9-piece band. Flights, accom, car rental, gear rental and paying players… it can be really hard to make ends meet and still have money to record and push the band. What should we expect for your show this weekend at Island Vibe? Deep grooves and booty shaking. They join Archie Roach, Finlay Quaye, Black Jesus Experience and King Tide as headline acts for the Island Vibe at Stradbroke Island this Friday to Sunday. For tickets and program enquiries go to www.islandvibe.com.au. Bullhorn are also featured at Mullum Music Festival 20–23 November – for info go to www.mullummusicfestival.com.

THIS WEEK SEES DIESEL TAKE TO THE STAGE OF THE BANGALOW BOWLING CLUB FOR A SHOW ON SATURDAY. A MAINSTAY ON THE AUSSIE MUSIC CIRCUIT, HE REFLECTS ON HIS TIME AS AN ARTIST. Diesel, after 25 years in the music industry, how have you seen things changed? Considering the music industry is a relatively new industry it has seemingly changed a lot in 25 years, with the advent of digital being one of the biggest if not the biggest factor for changes. Artists are able to control the creative process and produce ‘end quality’ results achievable before only by spending huge budgets. How has your approach to making music changed? Although I have become equipped in the art of producing music it still is the basic process of playing out an idea, usually on guitar, that has popped into my head or following something that has come about by having an instrument in my hands (usually again, guitar!) and seeing where it will take me, so in a way, nothing and everything has changed. What advice would you give new musicians looking at establishing a career in music? Firstly it’s probably a good thing if you really love music because there will be times where that may be all you have. I think ultimately look after music and music will look after you. With such a huge back catalogue of songs to draw from, how do you draw up a set list? What songs stay, what songs go? It gets harder with each new album, not a bad problem I guess. I’m always trying to bring songs back in to the

fold after they have drifted off for no particular reason. This tour is really about that, rounding up a collection of singles, some familiar to me, some lost friends. With well over 100 songs under your belt, do you still find inspiration for writing new music? How has your approach changed or matured? I don’t tend to look behind and reflect on what I’ve done so to me it’s all relatively new each time. There are so many subtle twists on the human condition – how many shades of blue are there? Who have been the people who inspired you as a musician? Jimi Hendrix really made a huge impact on me as a guitar player, as did Ian Moss. I was lucky to have been the seventh child in a large family of music lovers who were constantly bring records home, including my father who loved jazz and blues. What are the albums on your playlist at the moment? Jake Bugg Shangri La album, Neil Young Zuma album, Frank Ocean Channel Orange album. What should we expect for your show at the Bangalow Bowlo? My goal is to try to cover as much musical ground as I can. The solo show has allowed me to really experiment with pushing the envelope. Bookings to bangalowbowlo.com.au or call 6687 2741.

GOD IS THE ANSWER

It must be awesome believing in God. Having the kind of simplistic all-encompassing faith that hands over all of the big answers to the big questions in life to the big fella. Sometimes my brain actually hurts from trying to fathom the infinite things I will probably never know. I can’t even begin to get my head around infinity. I know it’s an 8 that fell over. On the outskirts of the country town where I grew up there was a big sign that read ‘God is the Answer’. Of course I’d just thought it was Christian propaganda. Now, as a mother of five, I realise it’s a strategy. For nearly two decades now my kids have been asking me questions I don’t know the answers to. Frankly there’s only so long you can bullshit a kid before they know the game is up. It’s embarrassing having to admit to a 5-year-old that you don’t know the answer

to their very simple question. Sometimes I know the answer, or part of it, or I kind of recall it but can’t put it into words that would suit a little kid. Some questions have been asked of me several times but I’ll be fucked if I can remember the answer. Like ‘Why is the sky blue?’ Um, because it is. I kind of recall something about particles reflecting something in the atmosphere, something to do with the colour spectrum going through a pyramid… or was that a dream about the Illuminati? I don’t care why the sky is blue. I’ve stopped wondering about shit like that. It just is. Isn’t that enough? And how do you explain light particles to a child anyway without kind of having to talk about light and matter and that everything is made of this really small stuff called atoms, all pressed together, except I think they have space around

them and have nothing to do with the sky being blue. It must be so easy for parents who can just say ‘God made the sky blue’. Sure, I agree you are seriously dumbing down your kids, but it’s such a neat answer. It’s short and it has closure. There is nowhere to go with a statement like that. You can get back to trying to purchase that bag on eBay. These are some of the questions I have been asked that I don’t like answering that you could just finish with God. ‘Who made words?’ Well, that’s easy, even I remember that one. God. It’s in the Bible. ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the word was, you guessed it, God’. God was the first word. God made words. Thank God. ‘Where does grandma go when she dies?’ ‘God’ is a very nice answer for this question. Because God lives in heaven, which is kind of like the Gaia Retreat, I imagine God, being a bit like Olivia Newton John in white jeans and a beatific

smile, handing you a fruit salad and a brochure about a lymph drainage massage. This is a much nicer answer for a small child than ‘Grandma goes in the ground – under the dirt. Or we burn her in a fire.’ ‘Why do you shave your legs?’ God. God likes smooth legs. ‘Why doesn’t Dad shave his legs?’ Because he needs to be able to tell us apart in the dark, especially if he’s implanting young virgins with fertilised son-of-god eggs. This God answer would work better I think if I actually believed it myself. It certainly makes the ‘who made the world’ question able to be answered in a gulp rather than with a PhD in astrophysics. I don’t understand gravity, or water, or space, or stars, or cells, or DNA. I don’t understand really big numbers. Since we’ve gone digital, I don’t even understand how the picture gets in the TV. If I’m honest, neither do I know how my computer works, neither can I fathom

the internet, or Google. God must have made Google. The other day I was driving when my 5-year-old Ivy piped up with, ‘Mum I have this really hard question.’ I’m like, great, why couldn’t I have a stupid kid? This bright kid is giving me a headache. ‘Mum how do they get the music into a CD?’ I don’t say anything. I don’t have a clue. I’ve never thought about it. The school system squashed my inquiring mind years ago. I can’t even make something up. I don’t have the faintest idea. I am her mum. She sees me as some sort of super allknowing genius. I can’t shatter that delusion. I can hardly say ‘fucked if I know’ to my kid. Although it’s what I am

song – and a good song is one that everyone can and wants to sing. How does the band operate when it comes to songwriting and recording? We have a huge game of full-contact rugby league, heavy hit and all; the winner gets to control how the songs sounds. Nah… if this were true I would have no songs on the album!

thinking. I know the band goes into the music studio. I know there’re guitars and microphones. But I don’t know how sound is actually recorded and I don’t know how it gets put into a CD. So I say, ‘God. God put the music into the CD.’ Ivy doesn’t say anything. She’s not convinced. ‘Well, who made God?’ I am so not in the mood for a theological discussion trying to logically explain the continual existence of an omnipotent figure who may or may not be a man, have a beard, sit on a big chair, watch everything we do, create life and then watch us suffer like some sort of sicko. So I give the best answer I can. ‘Dad knows. Why don’t you ask him when we get home?’

HAILING FROM HAMILTON, NEW ZEALAND, KATCHAFIRE HAVE BECOME A GLOBAL ROOTS REGGAE PHENOMENON. THE ALL-MAORI REGGAE BAND BRING THEIR PURE CLASSIC SOUND TO THE BREWERY ON THURSDAY 13 NOVEMBER. Tell me how the Katchafire crew first got together. The short story is: About 1997 Grenville my father, much to my mother’s disgust, moved us out of our house – he had a friend with apartments for lease right in the middle of town and somehow dad managed to get his friend to give him the apartment for $100 a week! At the time it was $600 a week average for a place like this! We had the town at our finger tips – all the pubs and clubs were all a stone’s throw away! At the time we where a covers band and were playing 4-hour shows to win over bar owners! 2001 we entered a comp in Auckland that Dawn Raid was holding; we won that. The prize was $5,000 worth of recording time; we recorded Giddy Up and Bounce This. What have been some of your personal career highlights? Opening the Hawaiian market, they have been the reason we got into mainland America. We thank Hawaiians big time for leading the charge. What is it about reggae do you think that resonates with people? Apart from the infectious grooves and the positive messages it’s one of those genres that can cross over to all ages and walks of life. It’s a music you can listen to any time of the day.

It’s like food you never get sick of. What are the social issues that you are most passionate about? I just want the world to be as one. Just imagine a world full of love; there would be no war, no famine, no need for crime. I think love is the most underestimated power in the world today. If there were one issue I would push – it is love. Do you think that music can make a difference to people’s lives? Or to how we live on the planet? Music is the other underestimated power in the world today – as a musician we have a platform and a responsibility to make a difference in some way. With our music Katchafire has helped a lot of people. Music brings the world together. What would you like people to take away from your music? Just the good vibrations we put out and some vocal zones, a pill you take for losing your voice from singing to much… and maybe some merch to help pay for fuel to get to the next town. What is the essence of good songwriting for you? Getting people to sing your song. It does not have to be a masterpiece of a song or clever wording. But the fact that everyone can sing your

Tell us about the upcoming Australian tour. It’s your longest yet, isn’t it? This is my longest tour of Australia. I’ve performed here on four occasions. Festivals and some shows with the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Warren Haynes. I always wanted to see more of this beautiful country and meet more people here. With such a long career in music, how have you seen the blues scene change, both at home and internationally? I feel some of the biggest changes I’ve seen in blues is that there’s not as many clubs;

also there’s more blues-style groups with multiple leaders/ members, and the internet’s huge impact on the CD/record company business, making for fewer opportunities for the blues all around, nationally and internationally. How has your music developed since you first began writing your own songs? Why the shift from gospel to blues? I feel my music has developed over the years by using different other styles of music as adding a flavour to my music. But only when I feel it works. And I’ve

ON THE JAZZ ROAD

How were your shows in Malaysia? How is the jazz scene there? We found an appreciative and knowledgeable public and we played in a world-class jazz club run by a woman passionately committed to the art form.

As a composer how do you bridge that divide between improvisation and actual composition? Composing is making the bed for the improvisation to lie in. The more comfortable the bed the better it is for the improvisation.

THE BAY FM SUMMER SEASON STARTS ON NOVEMBER 1

I’ve always wondered how a player knows when a piece is ‘finished’, especially with jazz. Is this a challenge in the studio as well? Finishing a song is an art in itself. If you’re challenged by it you haven’t studied the art enough.

How does your creativity feed into other areas of your life? Jazz is about thinking on your feet and finding outsidethe-square solutions. There are no limitations as to where this applies.

It really is an honour to be able to do this for so long, and people respect my dedication and commitment. You’re known for your distinctive guitar playing. Run us through your creative process. I try not to think so much, but to feel, when it comes to creating anything that is organic, as most good music is. That’s not to say that my music isn’t arranged, practised etc, but I prefer not to omit the elements of surprise, and also unconventional elements.

How important are collaborations? Who are the players that you have had the most dynamic or symbiotic musical connections with? Jazz is a constant collaboration because when you’re on stage, even if you’re the composer, you have to make room for other musicians to bring in their own

expressions. Of all the years I’ve enjoyed my collaborations with Joe Chindamo, Evripides Evripedou, and more recently Phil Turcio. Do you feel that jazz continues to evolve into more contemporary forms? Absolutely. It’s an organic art form that lends itself to interpretation and evolution. How would you describe your relationship with your guitar? It’s a love affair. Is playing an emotive experience for you? If you don’t bring the hearts you can’t communicate. How hard is it to resist the temptation to over-analyse your work? You are an academic after all! Analysing comes as you listen when you understand what you’re listening to. You are correct that I can be over-critical about my playing and others’ as well. And that keeps me on my toes as I’ve got an internal judge. What should we be expecting for your show in Byron Bay? A magic night of fun. At the Palace in Byron on Wednesday 5 November.

‘People love to see us stripped back. This time we said no matter what happens this is what we want to do – play acoustic shows.’ Thomas believes audiences value these kind of performances for different reasons from bigger shows.

Jeremy Marou and Thomas Busby’s music is as unpretentious as they are. The two have just finished up recording a film clip for Days of Gold, one of the pop anthems from their last album. Thomas Busby laughs, ‘We hate shooting film clips, I can’t tell you how much! We are not the

best-looking blokes around! For a start, there’s Jeremy who is from Torres Strait – he doesn’t like wearing shoes, just footy shorts. We both feel really uncomfortable doing video clips, lucky in this one we were just busking so it worked out okay!’ The two are living the dream – having toured internationally

‘It’s personal for the audience: we are talking to them. It’s not so much for a show with a band and a set list; we don’t know what is going to happen and so we don’t write a set list. Jeremy and I wanted to go back to where we started, like in pubs for five years. I wrote out all the songs we have ever played, and I’ll go this is the shittiest song we ever wrote – I’ll play it now. We were worried at first, we haven’t done it for ages, but I forgot how easy it is, and in the more intimate shows the crowd seems to react even better.’ Thomas credits his mate Jeremy

RICHARD’S MIND Sydney five-piece Richard In Your Mind launch their psychedelic new art rock album Ponderosa this Thursday at the Byron Beach Hotel. Ponderosa is Richard In Your Mind’s most melodic, dynamic and fun release yet. Band leader Richard Cartwright explains the album’s name: ‘ Ponderosa is the name of the ranch where the Cartwright family lived on the old TV show Bonanza, he says. ‘Being a Cartwright myself, people often make references to my distant television cousins, so Ponderosa to me is a quest to find the elusive imaginary ancestral ‘home’. Like most quests, it is the journey that is important, and often what one seeks outwardly one can only find within.’ Catch them on Thursday!

BILLI JAM This Sunday sees Billinudgel Hotel present the long-running and ever-popular Sunday Jam Session. This week special guest are: Kellie Knight – vocalist and guitarist, and Paul Brewer on bass. All jammers welcome, so be early to ensure a spot.

Realartworks.Inc are hosting their annual Most Kabaret this Friday at the Lismore Workers Club. This year will see performers from a number of communities that are socially marginalised perform at a professional level to the northern rivers community. Most excitingly the night will be headlined by Australian band and now international act Rudely Interrupted. Excited to unleash their new tunes onto the world, band member Brooks says the band are keen to be known for the quality of their music and not their disabilities. ‘What a musician chooses to play is the art; that choice is not influenced by, let’s say… having one leg; they are almost always influenced by the emotional world around their conscience. And so are we. But our expression is characterised by the physical traits and I also think this gives us a style,’ says Brooks. Lismore Workers Club on Friday from 6pm. Tickets available from 0411 716 144.

In May last year the community enjoyed the first reunion of the legendary Sydney northern beaches band Lion Idol. We are pleased to announce a second reunion of the band at Federal Hall on Saturday. Lion Idol comprises now local musicians – drummer and percussionist James Cox, bass player/ guitarist/vocalist Terry Villis, guitarist/vocalist John Bushelle, together with guitarist/vocalist Milton Brown, plus original members of the renowned Bilgola Bop Band, Jonty Erwin on guitar/keyboards, harmonica and vocals and Chuck Davis on vocals. They play the Court House Hotel in Mullum on Friday and are the featured band for the annual Federal fundraiser on Saturday at Federal Hall at 8pm. Gourmet Pizza from 7pm. Gold coin donation for entry.

‘Jeremy and I have always had a way of playing together: he sings along and covers up my mistakes on the guitar; all our songs are Jeremy!’

Stars It’s composer Bizet’s birthday this week, making Carmen a suitable soundtrack for the Sun, Venus and Saturn in passionate, dramatic Scorpio…

ARIES: As the natural cycle of expansion and contraction moves your ruler Mars from zesty Sagittarius to serious Capricorn, you’ll wonder where the crowds went. But don’t close down. Use any solitary time – it won’t last long – for independent research. Avoid arguments and maintain cordial relations with your support crew.

TAURUS: When this week’s touchy-feely Neptune–Venus conjunction meets Mars in the sign of forward drive and Mercury ratcheting plans back on track, life takes an exciting turn around the j-curve. Making this week’s challenge balancing affectionate feelings with ambitious agendas, weighing group interests against personal needs.

GEMINI: Mars is in the sign of success, your mentor Mercury’s in the sign of looking good, so there’s no excuse for not starting that new, improved health, fitness and beauty regime – even just the first step. And if a recurring problem resurfaces, it’s finally time for a radically different response.

Mungo’s Crossword 1

CANCER: As lingering misinformation, blind spots, personal uncertainty, unscheduled delays and widespread brain fog finally subside, lines of communication open again, making decisions easier and sweeter. This week’s tightrope walk is navigating the complex emotional energies of affectionate and assertive, endearing and demanding. And you’ll blitz it…

LEO: While the present planetary potpourri gives your Majesty’s spunk ratings an aphrodisiac lift, it also escalates bossiness. So aim for a negotiable leadership style this week: say, flexible firmness or supple determination. Loosen up your attitude and make space for something new and unexpected to slide on through.

VIRGO: As Mercury your sponsor planet heads direct in the sign of compromise, this week’s gentle energies soften the tougher, getting-stuff-done vibes of motivating Mars. If late week brings strange behaviour or unusual news, forget figuring it out logically – stay cool, be kind and make friends with your mind.

LIBRA: Mercury turning direct in Libra brings sweet relief from stressful exchanges, building bridges of greater appreciation for the issues involved. Though don’t treat people’s feelings too lightly, forget promises or make arrangements you plan to wriggle out of, because this week takes things seriously, won’t forgive easily and isn’t above payback. SCORPIO: As Sun/Venus in Scorpio soften and lighten Saturn’s final weeks in your sign, Neptune sifts love dust on your happybirthday month. Use this tenderising energy whenever Mars has you rushing or pushing for what you want; you’ll achieve it more easily by maintaining your magnetic resonance.

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s smartest move is letting others have their say. Should critical flak come your way (there’s heaps flying round) before reacting, ask yourself is there any truth in it? If yes, consider it a service, however ill intentioned. If not, shrug it off. Better yet, make a good joke of it.

AQUARIUS: Now that changes you’ve avoided making are in your face, cosmic conditions support seizing the day. If Aquarian reserve leads others to misinterpret your intentions, there’s no need to tell all. But sharing a little more of your thoughts and feelings will go a long way to circumvent misunderstandings.

PISCES: Rather than let ideals, expectations or con artistry cause disappointment, Mars advises taking charge this week – and as they say in newagespeak, being the change you want to see. Don’t be fooled by sweet speech and sugar promises – actions speak louder than words. Not sure about something? Don’t do it.

CAPRICORN: Mars in your sign brings an energy boost, and midweek Capricorn moon wants things your way. But even though you’re convinced Capricorns know best, making decisions without consulting others is likely to cause difficulties, even hostility. A Mars overdose never works for anyone but your kind, considerate side will.

Brisbane-born Sydney labourer Luke Heggie began 2010 with the new years resolution that he’d get on stage and do some standup. His first gig was the one where he won his RAW Comedy heat; his second was the one where he got through the semifinal. His third was the one where he won the state final. His RAW win meant Luke got to play Edinburgh Fringe, where he opened for The Nelson Twins – quite possibly the most Aussie comedy show to ever play the UK. And Luke was chosen to be part of the 2011 Comedy Zone – the show the Melbourne International Comedy Festival puts together from the very best up-and-comers. Luke Heggie is this month’s feature comedian at the Ballina RSL on Thursday. He is joined by fellow RAW national finalist, the delightful Desh, who has squeezed his rotund frame into just about every TV and radio show in the land featuring as a comic guest, opinion maker and racial stereotype for casting directors from Surrey Hills to Mumbai. MC is Mandy Nolan. 8pm. Free.

RIDING HER WAVE In 2007, Tweed Heads high school student Stephanie Gilmore qualified for the pinnacle in women’s surfing, the ASP World Tour. In her rookie year Steph led the charge to win the World Championships at just 17 years of age. Over the next four years Steph dominated the women’s tour with her trademark style and unrivalled professionalism. She claimed four world championships in as many years and seemed untouchable until a violent turn of events abruptly ended her winning streak. But things flipped. Stephanie in the Water is an intimate documentary following Steph on the professional circuit as she reassesses her future. Filmed by Ava Warbrick, daughter of Rip Curl co-founder Doug ‘Claw’ Warbrick, she and the crew followed Gilmore for three years, compiling outstanding footage that give viewers a unique insight into the life and mind of one of surfing’s greatest. Five times world champ Steph Gilmore will then be available for a live Q&A with the audience after the film. Screening at the Byron Community Centre on Wednesday at 7pm.

FURY War is hell, so why do we want to keep watching movies that revel in it? This is an example of Hollywood hypocrisy at its most testosterone-ignited but messianic worst. It starts off with graphic, grungy violence. Mud and slush and blood – the most heroic soldiers are the dirtiest – with a sense that Hieronymus Bosch has come back to Europe in April, 1945, to show us how hellish armed conflict can be. But it ends up flogging the same old martyrdom bullshit that has poured blood and bone into the tired earth for time out of mind (wake me when the Gallipoli centenary is over). Sergeant Collier (Brad Pitt) is a tank commander who has been with his crew since the Americans joined the fight against Nazism (two years late) and, like the rest of his boys, he has been brutalised and desensitised by the experience. The new member of the outfit is Norman (Logan Lerman), an idealistic recruit who abhors what he perceives to be the murderous amorality of his fellows. It’s only a matter of time, of course, before he understands that the other blokes are just pragmatists, victims of the environment into which they have been thrust. The movie’s falseness, in posing as anti-war but gouging every buck it can out of its carnage is bad enough, but more infuriating is the piety of its self-regard. The shoot-out at the end is like any other you’ve seen over the years, with the Krauts unable to hit a target and the intrepid, fearless GIs mowing them down like flies. Even with its high-tech CGI (design and production values are super impressive) it reminded me, the longer it went, of Sarge and his invincibles in B/W TV’s Combat. It perpetuates everything that is wrong about a world that is teetering on the brink, being no more than the sort of diatribe that encourages lamebrained young men to sign up for a cause and go and kill people on the other side of the world. ~ John Campbell

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

THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU There is a template that is getting extremely frayed at the edges. It involves the urbane son (rarely daughter) being called back after a family bereavement to the sleepy little hamlet where he spent his youth. We saw the set-up just the other week in The Judge and, again, we find the bloke’s marriage is in tatters – it’s an easy way to both eliminate the superfluous woman from the drama and garner sympathy for the cheated-on husband (screenwriting is too often like painting by numbers). In this case it is mild-mannered Jason Bateman (as Judd) returning to home and hearth following his father’s death. If, as a perennial nice-guy, he is the extreme opposite to the abrasive Robert Downey Jnr, you know that rapprochement and a feel-good resolution will also await Bateman. And there is nothing wrong with that – except for when a script bends over backwards to find a hook for every player in a big cast to hang their hat on. The widowed matriarch is Jane Fonda (with declining facial movement), an overbearing writer who has recently had a massive boob-job – the mammaries are a running gag that gets very tired, as does the revolting little kid and his poo bucket. Judd’s three siblings (none of whom look remotely like they might be related) are Phillip (Adam Driver), Paul (Corey Stoll) and Wendy (Tina Fey), and their dysfunction echoes, if in an overly contrived manner, Tolstoy’s observation that ‘each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way’. Amidst all the outpourings and squabbles, resentments and disclosures, Judd bobs about like a cork on a stormy sea. Bateman is an unusual actor insofar as he keeps so much within – he is not ‘out there’ in a culture that lauds extroversion, so his performance comes across as more natural than anybody else’s – from the devastation of finding his wife with another man to the belated memory of his father rescuing him as a child. Overall it’s weak, but with an appealing soft spot. ~ John Campbell

Nurses call for Robin Hood tax The NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) has travelled to Canberra to launch a public awareness campaign and garner support from federal MPs and senators for the introduction of a Robin Hood tax (or financial transactions tax) in Australia. Representing more than 59,000 nursing and midwifery professionals, the NSWNMA strongly supports the need for tax reform in Australia to properly fund quality public health and aged-care services. General secretary of the NSWNMA, Brett Holmes, said members held growing concerns for the future of essential public services and were calling on the Commonwealth to consider an alternative source of revenue to address the issue. ‘Instead of shifting our

public health services further down the track of an Americanised, two-tier health system, a Robin Hood tax would help fund the continued delivery of equitable universal public healthcare for all Australians,’ Mr Holmes said Mr Holmes said the NSWNMA was advocating the implementation of a modest levy, between 0.005 and 0.05 per cent, on the trading of financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, derivatives, futures, options and credit default swaps. This would not impact significantly on ordinary Australians’ personal savings or everyday consumer activity such as paying bills online or using ATMs. Instead, the levy would target finance companies engaging in financial transactions at high speed and frequency.

The EOI is not limited to an identified use of the commercial kitchen and applicants are invited to submit the EOI with their proposed use.

Council will assess the EOIs and then negotiate with the selected applicant to formalise the specified operations, remuneration and conditions of the lease agreement. A compulsory site inspection will be held at the BRSCC on Friday 7 November 2014. Detailed information is available in the EOI documentation (including a draft Commercial Kitchen/Cafe Lease) on Council’s website at http://www.byron.nsw.gov.au/expressions-of-interest Enquiries: Greg Ironfield 02 6626 7217 or email greg.ironfield@ byron.nsw.gov.au Expressions of Interest close: 4.00pm Friday 14 November 2014

There are occasions when having the flu can be literally a lifesaver. Five local lads who went to Byron Bay High together, completing the HSC in 2012, went trekking together in Nepal and were scheduled to be in the area where three avalanches have killed over forty people. Flu held them back, however, and they decided to stay together in a hut for two days instead. One of the lads noted on his Facebook page, ‘The storm was massive but we hadn’t progressed into the danger zone… We were max chilling and safe all along. Sorry for the fright!’ Q Q Q Q

The pilot scheme for the Byron Bay masterplan of ‘activating’ Bay Lane with entertainment last weekend was a welcome change from the quotidian, and one wonders if anyone would be brave enough to remove vehicles from the town centre altogether, or is that unAustralian in its large-mindedness? There’s another year to go before the plan is scheduled to be finalised and in the meantime you can track progress at www.byron.nsw.gov. au/byron-bay-masterplan.
