Five new faces on Everything old is a bargain again Byron Shire Council Michael McDonald

In a remarkable change to the local political climate, five new councillors have been voted on to Byron Shire Council. They are the Greens’ Michael Lyon, Jeanette Martin and Sarah Ndiaye, Country Labor’s Jan Hackett, and Cate Coorey of Community Byron. They join Greens mayor Simon Richardson, Country Labor’s Paul Spooner, Alan Hunter of Byron Shire in Balance and Our Sustainable Future’s Basil Cameron. The Greens’ group total was 6,773 votes, followed by Country Labor 3,048, Byron Shire in Balance 1,746, Our Sustainable Future 1,482, and Community Byron 630. The only other councillor seeking re-election, Rose Wanchap, picked up 613 for her group The Middle Ground. Of the councillor candidates, Lyon was elected first on the massive preference flow from Richardson’s mayoral run, followed by Spooner, Martin, Ndiaye, Cameron,

Hunter, Hackett and Coorey. In the mayoral race, Mayor Simon Richardson achieved an ‘absolute majority’ – 50 per cent of the vote plus one vote – on the distribution of preferences last Thursday, when candidate Jack Sugarman was the first to be eliminated. On that distribution the vote tally was Richardson 8,182, Paul Spooner 3,394, Alan Hunter 1,934, Basil Cameron 1,860, Rose Wanchap 990, Jack Sugarman 483. Overall there were 16,474 formal votes and 741 informal votes, out of a total 24,856 electors enrolled as of August 1. Though the Greens and Labor are likely to have differences of opinion it will probably be a much more civil atmosphere than that generated by the argumentative 2012–16 council. Alan Hunter, a former National Party federal candidate, could be regarded as the ‘odd man out’ in ideological stances. See the full result at http://vtr. elections.nsw.gov.au/byron-shirecouncil/councillor.

TPP faces the pub test The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a legally binding trade agreement which has been negotiated between Australia, the US and ten other Pacific Rim countries. The agenda has been driven by US corporate interests, and it expands corporate rights at the expense of people’s rights. Dr Pat Ranald will speak about the Trans-Pacific Partnership at New Politics in the Pub at the

Court House Hotel in Mullumbimby on Wednesday September 28 at 6.30pm. Dr Ranald has published widely on the social impacts of globalisation and trade agreements and is coordinator of the Australian Fair Trade and Investment Network (www.aftinet.org.au), which advocates for fair trade policies based on human rights, labour rights and environmental sustainability.

The north coast’s biggest garage sale day of the year is on again on Saturday September 24. With over 700 garage sales as part of this year’s event, and 100 in Byron Shire alone, Second Hand Saturday is bound to be a highlight of the year for bargain hunters. It’s also an easy way to do your bit for the environment by reusing and recycling pre-loved goods.

Something for everyone Linda Tohver from North East Waste says that garage sale registrations have been coming in thick and fast with a huge range of treasures on offer. ‘From building materials to caravans, to scooters, bikes and cars, to household goods, quality

Street at about 3.30am (Saturday September 17), when they tried to stop a Subaru Liberty being driven without headlights. They allege the vehicle drove off, reaching an continued on page 2

Sustainable House Day draws big crowd According to organisers, more than 1,500 people attended the Sustainable House Day Expo and Tiny Homes Design Competition on Saturday at Mullumbimby Civic Hall. This year’s winner of the $1000 Professional Category on the theme of Tiny Homes: A Pocket Neighbourhood was Neeraja Peeret. ‘I am so excited to have won the design competition and am currently looking at building upon this award and showcasing the project further to show that sustainability can be easy, small and cost-effective,’ Neeraja Peeret said. Ms Peeret’s winning design featured a pocket neighbourhood that enabled many people to live sustainably in small houses but with private and communal areas to connect socially in. Coming in second was Baxter & Jacobson Architects and receiving the sponsors’ highly recommended award was David Brown and Alfonso Duran Fraile. The winner of the $500 Byron Shire Community category was Joe Harvey-Jones with his design that included a rotating house to capture the sun’s rays in every season.

Fundraiser supports cancer service A fundraiser by a dedicated group of local women recently raised just under $5,000 to support a new Cancer Council Information Service in the oncology unit at the new Byron Central Hospital. The start of a new satellite cancer care and haematology service for Byron Shire offers the opportunity for a number of treatments and specialist consultations to be delivered closer to home. The unit currently opens from Wednesday to Thursday, with trained Cancer Council volunteers providing a roaming service in assisting registered nurses and supporting visitors. The information service is

The driver, a 26-year-old man, was pulled from the vehicle by police via the driver’s side window and the fire was extinguished.

Flaming guitars not on band’s playlist While driving back from a gig in Stanthorpe last Sunday, and en route to their next gig in Billinudgel, Heartworn Highway band members Diego Zaragoza and Trent McNamara suddenly felt an intense heat on their backs. They turned around to see the tray of Trent’s ute engulfed in flames. Quickly pulling off the highway, the boys jumped out of the ute, rang triple zero, and frantically began pulling flaming guitar cases from the tray.

Within seconds the flames hit the fuel tank, and minutes later the ute was gone. Local business owners Diego (Valiant Music, Brunswick Heads) and Trent (Little Pocket Vintage, Mullumbimby) were travelling with thousands of dollars worth of stock for their respective businesses, which the fire claimed, including extremely rare and treasured musical instruments and equipment. A fundraiser gig will be held this Sunday September

Post-post modern artspace for Bangalow Artist Chloe Rowland and ceramicist Kerry Stanton have been planning a community art space for Bangalow. Thanks to the support of Byron Shire Council in the form of a small arts grant and to the generosity of Nicole Swain and Brian Grant, the owners of the post office building, they have managed to secure a space on the wall of the post office. Chloe says, ‘Bangalow is a hugely creative community and I hope that this artwork will be an opportunity for us all to come together and demonstrate this, while adding a focal point to the centre of our village that we can all

be a mosaic that is intended to ‘represent the Byron hinterlands and the beauty of the lush green hills, mountains and waterways that Bangalow sits among’. Workshops will be set up to allow the general community to get involved during October. There will be information leaflets at the post office.

Reflecting Into Another World was the only frame taken by Paula Humphries on her Nikon D610 after a disappointing result at Brunswick Heads. ‘I was in the right place at the right time’, she says. ‘I originally went down to the beach to take photos of the sunset but there were too many people about to get the right shot. So I started walking back to town and I saw the sunset reflecting on the water and had to stop to get a shot!’ Paula’s photo won her both the People’s Choice award and the overall competition prize,

Plebiscite plans descend into farce

Volume 31 #15

September 21, 2016

Council challenges Congratulations to all those elected to Byron Shire Council. The hard work begins now. A more harmonious atmosphere is expected than during the 2012–16 council pit fight, given that most of the councillors hold similar views and are able to express them without spitting venom. There will be differences; the Labor Party does not always speak well of the Greens and clashes between two intelligent men, the Greens’ Simon Richardson and Labor’s Paul Spooner, are likely on occasion. I expect robust debate rather than name-calling, which is too often the fallback position at state and federal level. The community should expect (and deserves) caucusing over a cuppa before meetings on important issues, even among the different groups. It’s a sensible way to save time in council debate if everyone is cooking from the same wok or has at least agreed to disagree. There is nothing worse than listening to waffle as positions are formulated on the run, often without a reasonable grasp of the facts. While there is likely to be a greater sense of harmony, there is no escaping the difficulty of the issues facing Council. As a first step Cr Richardson is asking the state government to send back the Coastal Zone Management Plan for the councillors to review. Sea-level rise is a vital concern for all eastern seaboard councils and Byron Shire is likely to be at the forefront of setting precedents, dangerous or otherwise, in tackling this environmental emergency. It really is not something that councils can tackle on their own but it is likely that the state and federal governments will drag their heels in responding to it. Aside from global warming – to which there may be no aside in 20 years’ time – Council has vexed parochial issues to deal with as well, as evidenced by the flurry of press releases and letters to the editor in response to several decisions over the last four years. West Byron overdevelopment is a biggie, on which we can expect new councillor Cate Coorey to lobby hard. The mayor’s support for the so-called Byron Line is already drawing flak from Northern Rivers Rail Trail and we can expect no easy resolution there. The state government of whichever political persuasion will offer up various promises as it has done for decades, signifying nothing. Despite the mayor’s cheerfulness, the proposed new bypass is not likely to solve the Bay’s traffic problems, and the concomitant disease of paid parking might spread out to the other towns as well, which will be a real crowdpleaser in Mullumbimby. A lot of the traffic woes are down to the visitor numbers and again the state government offers us no relief there in the form of a bed tax which would help in the repair of infrastructure. What kind of visitor we need to attract in future is also an issue which will occupy the minds of councillors and community alike. Homelessness, affordable housing, rewriting the unpopular rural land use strategy, the issues rise like winged ills from Pandora’s pithos. But there is also much to celebrate, such as farmers markets, recycling schemes, events such as Secondhand Saturday and Sustainable House Day. Please give the new councillors some time to settle in and learn the rather complex ropes before you get your keyboards glowing red hot with complaints. It is in no way an easy job. – Michael McDonald

bit over a year ago, Malcolm Turnbull decided that it was all about winning. Not winning for the nation, or winning for the party, and certainly not winning for his long-held policies, but winning for himself – making himself number one. So he set about buying votes; it was, after all, almost second nature. That was the way he obtained his preselection and bludgeoned his way past the sitting member for Wentworth in the first place. This time it meant auctioning off his core principles (one could hardly any more call them beliefs) to the highest bidders, the Nationals, who had never liked him, and the right-wing Liberals, who had never trusted him. Of course, they still don’t, but they were bought, and by and large they have stayed bought. There were a few recalcitrants, but they were in the minority then, and their numbers have been decreased since he dragged them through the recent election. So he could relish the first anniversary of his coup in relative safety. His party room may be far from solid, but it is, for the moment, secure. But to keep it that way he needs to constantly kowtow to the überconservative rump; they have been suppressed for the moment, but for a wildly ambitious but morally pusillanimous leader, the risk of insurgency is always paramount: that is what winning, and continuing to win, is all about. And thus we saw the last vestiges of Turnbull’s previous stance on same-sex marriage abandoned so comprehensively that it could only appear that he wanted the plebiscite to fail – to get rid of the troublesome issue for the next three years, and to blame Bill Shorten and the Labor Party for its demise. Any possible olive branches were ruthlessly pruned away.

He could have agreed to Gorge Brandis’s idea of a bill which would have made a successful plebiscite self-fulfilling; if the yes vote won, then the legislation was passed automatically. He could have committed to a bipartisan – indeed, a multipartisan – campaign with Shorten, Richard di Natale, Nick Xenophon and others of like mind to prosecute the case of equality as vigorously and energetically as he once worked for the republic – another abandoned crusade. And he certainly could have resisted the demands for public funding to propagandise the extremists of both sides. This

the money will be allocated is highly dubious; the loot will be apportioned by a committee of two government politicians, two opposition politicians, one crossbencher and five so-called ‘community’ representatives, appointed not by the parliament but by the government. These five will constitute a majority, a branch stack of the kind John Howard managed with the republic and Turnbull himself manipulated with his own preselection. And there will be no effective restrictions about what they can say and how; that will be up to the networks, who will be compelled to air the content in what is

The plebiscite will change nothing, not even the marriage laws. by Mungo MacCallum latter surrender was simply outrageous. The zealots against reform try to claim that it is only fair, there was public funding – more of it, in fact – during the republican referendum campaign. But the comparison is absurd. That was a referendum – a binding measure to change the Australian Constitution. The plebiscite will change nothing, not even the marriage laws. That will have to be done through parliament, if at all, and there are those in that forum who will refuse to accept the result in any case. The plebiscite is, as its opponents have pointed out, no more than a hugely expensive opinion poll. People are entitled to air their views as vigorously and as publicly as they wish to, but surely they should have to bear the cost themselves. But as it is, selected propagandists will dig into the public trough for no good reason at all. And the process by which

laughingly called the public interest. It seems a long time ago that Turnbull attacked and derided the process, in far stronger language than the measured terms the conservative Dean Smith used in pointing out the dangers of overturning the whole system of parliamentary democracy to embrace populism. It was, Turnbull claimed, an election commitment, an unbreakable promise to the voters. But even as he mouthed these platitudes, his iron-clad guarantees for superannuation reform were being trashed, once again by the heavies of the right. The trashing, of course, was at the behest of protecting the rich base (meaning donors) of the Liberal Party, but as a barely intended consequence there were some worthwhile changes to the budget announcements as well. This, Turnbull and his treasurer Scott Morrison assured us, proved that they were consultative and flexible. Our

prime minister is certainly flexible; the flip-flops of the last years have proved that. He can bend over so far backward that his head disappears up his arse. But the plebiscite is apparently written in stone, the eleventh commandment handed down by his immortal predecessor, Tony Abbott. It is worth recalling that the plebiscite was never a considered decision of the party room, but a captain’s pick – a stitch-up by Abbott and his fellow conservative godbotherers to delay, frustrate and ultimately destroy the whole idea of same-sex marriage. Turnbull’s now foredoomed legislation, his own birthday present to the nation, may well have completed the job. Having made the machinery around the already unloved plebiscite as hard line and unacceptable as he possibly could, the man who still pretends that he really, truly, honestly wants same-sex marriage to become a reality has almost certainly scuttled it in the foreseeable future. There are those who hope that Turnbull will eventually turn to a plan B; that there will be the conscience vote he previously espoused, that his party room will bow to the majority view confirmed repeatedly by the electorate at large over numerous polls far less fraught than the plebiscite and that we will all come up bathed in rainbows. Well, they can hope; Turnbull has certainly shown that whatever he may have said or done in the past, there is always room to make yet another somersault, if it is seen to be to his advantage. But there’s the rub; at this stage his commitment is to grovel to Cory Bernardi, Eric Abetz and their ilk – the ones who have always hated him and who will ignore the plebiscite anyway. Happy anniversary, Malcolm. I hope it’s been worth it.

Weddings, parties I fully endorse Hilary Bone’s letter (Echo, September 14) in regards to the wedding and events venues in the hinterland. Residents’ lives are being impacted upon by the intrusion of these events where the owners have no regard how their money-making projects are affecting the locals and the environment. We are losing our agricultural land to manicured acreage and if we are not careful in ten years’ time the hinterland and surrounds will be owned by absentee landlords who have no commitment to the local community. I urge our newly elected council to urgently address this matter. Rhonda Ansiewicz Federal

Sea-level rise A number of people responding to my letter about sea-

level rise and Byron Bay have asked me where to look on the website. If you follow this link – https://coastadapt.com. au/sea-level-rise-informationall-australian-coastal-councils – you can use the dropdown box to see Byron and download the appropriate maps for the Shire. I hope our new councillors will have a good look and start planning for the inevitable. We should rethink whether or not to spend large amounts of money on infrastructure, such as the bypass, rock walls and new housing developments. Instead, perhaps we should be spending that money on mitigation measures such as the raising of vital connecting roads, sewage, water and electricity infrastructure, and ways to assist those living in vulnerable areas. We need a master plan that addresses all these issues.

And it’s not just Byron Bay. Ocean Shores and the northern coastline will be remodelled by the sea and the estuaries. Let’s hope for a council with a vision for the future, and that means 20+ year plans, not stop-gap measures and ad hoc decisions. L Cronin Billinudgel

On my way home that same day, the road was carpeted its full width with feathers, blood, and guts; one chook’s severed head lay alone in the middle of the carriageway while a body lay a couple of metres away; there was also an unrecognisable mass of mangled flesh and feathers nearby – there appeared to have been two avian fatalities. I’m sorry for your chooks – I hope they died instantly rather than suffering long – but it’s about time you took responsibility and secured your birds from fowling the road and possibly causing human tragedies.

How and where that would happen is a mystery. I can’t see Council buying up private land near to the corridor. Simon also says his plan continued on next page

Rail trail response In response to the article in last week’s Echo: Northern Rivers Rail Trail (NRRT) did not ‘accuse’ Simon Richardson of anything, but stated the facts. Simon would not support the proposal for the Tweed rail trail to go through to Billinudgel although previously he has said he fully supported NRRT’s plans to continue working towards a rail trail north of Billinudgel. Following their AGM on September 2, NRRT decided to not collaborate with the Byron Line, partly because of the mayor’s lack of cooperation and partly because of the lack of any forthcoming funding. It could take years to get yet another feasibility study funded and completed,

Motives of the Bangalow food collective Brookfarm and Salumi will be the key tenants of the proposed Bangalow Food Collective at 201 Lismore Road should the development application be successful. There has been a lot of rumour and misinformation circulating. We want to share what we stand for and what we will commit to implement through a tenants’ charter to apply to every tenant at the Bangalow Food Collective. We as tenants commit to: • creating a unique centre of collaboration for local food producers using local produce; • creating a visually beautiful landscaped site, screened and surrounded by rainforest regeneration in the paddocks, on the roadside, by the

buildings and along Byron Creek, incorporating bushfood plantings; • creating a leading sustainable food production site – including renewable energy generation through extensive use of solar panels, recycling waste and water; • sharing transport resources to reduce food miles and prohibiting any trucks delivering to or picking up from the Bangalow Food Collective from going down the main street of Bangalow. We believe this is a village precinct and should be preserved; • creating a small canteen for our staff and site visitors as part of a commercial kitchen incubator. This site is not a tourism centre; • creating real jobs and ca-

reers in the food industry for the people of Byron Shire; and • working collaboratively with the community we are based in. Brookfarm and Salumi have outgrown their production facilities. We, like many others in the food industry, have been in discussions with Byron Shire Council for many years about our challenges. So over two years ago we requested help from Mr Bart Elias, to find us an appropriate site and to build for us a unique food production centre where we could create our products and grow sustainably for the long term. After exploring over five different sites in the northern rivers, 201 Lismore Road was deemed the most appropriate.

Brookfarm and Salumi Australia are food producers who started their businesses in the Byron Shire and are passionately committed to community. We support many projects and fundraisers in the community and work closely with many food businesses in Bangalow. Should you have any queries that you would like personally addressed, or just a discussion to raise any issues of concern, then please contact us. We are a part of your community and want to remain so for generations. Pam & Martin Brook, Massimo Scalas & Rebecca McEwan pam@brookfarm.com.au martin@brookfarm.com.au info@salumi.com.au

continued from page 9 can ‘provide TOOT and public transport advocates a chance to get a people-mover for our kids and less fit to get around our shire. Also, our daily commuters and anyone else who would use a decent commuter service regularly.’ Firstly, he is only talking Bangalow to Billinudgel and is talking about a tourist operation, which is unlikely to

be cheap to use. This is not a decent commuter service. His reasoning for the rail trail not receiving the first round of funding was because it was not shovel-ready and ‘it is clear the government wants Byron Shire to come back with a fully costed option for activating the rail corridor that unites instead of dividing the community.’ One of the reasons that the NRRT failed the first time was that it was given erroneous advice from the NSW government to seek all EOI (Expressions Of Interest) from all interested parties, which the NRRT dutifully undertook, and that Simon’s multi-modal push fatally exacerbated this erroneous instruction further.

town. After all, it is this charm and character that attracts both visitors and locals to the town, into the little shops and cafes as well as enjoying our community markets. Unfortunately Bangalow is facing enormous pressure from developers. For Bangalow to remain special, residents in town and in the greater Bangalow area, as well as our business community, will need to work together to fend off inappropriate development. Development that is oversized, out of character, destroys our open rural landscape or attracts more truck movements through the centre of town has no place in a vibrant Bangalow.

a free hand, but as part of his leadership deal with the conservatives in the Liberal Party he has agreed to this delaying tactic. In other words he wants to sacrifice $150 million plus of public funds to solve what is essentially a private internal Liberal Party problem. Sounds pretty corrupt to me. To be consistent about his concern for ‘everyone having their democratic say’ he’d in fact have to have a plebiscite before about any parliamentary vote, wouldn’t he? Despite Malcolm’s bleating on and on about ‘innovation’ he himself remains a highly typical politician – nothing innovative about his approach; same old bullshit. On the other hand those who oppose a plebiscite because it would give haters a platform and upset same-sex couples seem insane to me.

Pothole solution Regarding the pothole problem in Byron Shire: I have for some time observed the beautification of our numerous potholes with some interest. Then it hit me.

Corrupt tactics Is the same-sex marriage plebiscite a form of corruption? I recall that in 1994 or thereabouts NSW premier Nick Greiner was having trouble with one of his elected ministers. He solved the problem by offering that minister a public service job. ICAC subsequently found that this was ‘corrupt’ because Mr Greiner had used public funds (ie public service wages) to solve what was essentially a private Liberal Party problem. (Later that was overturned 2–1 by the Court of Appeal in a judgment I never got round to read – but that was too late to help Nick Greiner, who’d already had to resign by then.) So don’t we have a similar situation in relation to the plebiscite? Malcolm Turnbull would vote for same-sex marriage right now if he had

Planning culture I read with some interest a recent front-page article about the Brunswick Picture Theatre and its discussions with Byron Shire Council’s staff. Without commenting on the issues involved in the case, but bearing in mind the spate of catastrophic overseas nightclub and theatre fires over the years and the obvious necessity for regulation of cafes where food preparation and service are involved, the case does shine some light on attitudes to development applications in this Shire by people who have plans for residential development or continued on page 12

Byron Bay Film Festival

www.bbff.com.au

Festival opener tells Aboriginal teen story

The Opening Night film for the Byron Bay Film Festival’s 10th anniversary needed to be something special, and director J’aimee Skippon-Volke believes Zach’s Ceremony ‘fits the bill perfectly’. The feature documentary is a gripping, intimate study of the relationship between an Aboriginal father and his son, and a celebration of the ancient culture that sustains them in the modern world. It offers both a fearlessly personal focus on family life, and an expansive welcome into the ‘theatre’ of rites and rituals that still have a profound significance for Australia’s first people. Zach’s Ceremony tells the story of a city boy’s ambition to go through initiation ceremony, his teenage struggles with his father’s at times overbearing guidance, and his search for identity through reconnection with country. The film opens with home-shot footage of an earnest 10-year-old Zachariah talking about his dream, and follows him as he grows up, surrounded by the temptations of the city, vulnerable and unsure of himself. Zach returns to his dad’s country in the Gangalidda, Waanyi and Garawa lands in the Gulf of Carpentaria, where he begins to find his feet. His father, Alec, grew up there, in the bush outside the settlement whose name he carries: Doomadgee. Alec didn’t go to school until he was 12, then fell in love with radio, did a degree in communications and went on to become a successful broadcaster, boxer, cultural advocate and firebrand activist. The film is ‘my concept, my brainchild, my baby,’ Alec says. ‘The idea of making a film to show the beauty of our culture was always burning away in my soul. ‘It was something I grew up wanting to do, to show in an artistic, graceful manner how unique our culture is, and also how spiritually important it is for us. ‘I wanted to include messages of our struggle and plight, but also of our strength, of how powerful we really are. ‘We’re like that sleeping elephant, and that’s why the tagline is “awaken the warrior within’.”

Alec’s original plan was to tell his own story, of a man straddling two worlds, but after he led protests following the death of his cousin Cameron Mulrunji Doomadgee in police custody at Palm Island in 2004 he began to get hate mail. ‘If I was the central figure in this film, people would shut off the messages … ‘Then I became aware of this beautiful young warrior following me around – Zach – and the camera naturally gravitated towards him. ‘Telling the story through the eyes of a child means people will drop their guard, let down defences and go “hang on, this is beautiful’,” he says. ‘The father and son story is a universal one, we’ve all been there, and experienced the struggle between the old and the new. I call it the Lion King syndrome. ‘It will open up the hearts and minds of white Australia to hear what I’m trying to say here. ‘I believe that to be a real Australian you must stain yourself with the essence of this country, with the blood of our people, our stories, our dances. And our atrocities, our plight, our injustices.’ He is saying to the audience: “Take it all on board, take ownership of it and find a better way.” ‘We need to be mature enough to do that. ‘The problems of Aboriginal Australia are an “our” problem. It’s not a matter of black and white but of wrong and right. A great wrong has been done, a great injustice … we need to stand up and right those wrongs. ‘Because there is within all of us a good, a righteousness: it’s about awakening that warrior to do what’s right, what’s fair. ‘And what I’m trying to do with the film is to spark that.” Zach he says is “the new age warrior, the new Aboriginal man … he’s the future and we need to start planning for the future”. ‘Watching Zachy evolve on film … I don’t think anything like that’s been done before. I don’t think there’s been a film that is as intimate, personal and strong, as real as this one.

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

‘Nothing was scripted, nothing written … the whole narration in the final scene came from Zach’s heart and mind, his perspective on where he is right now.’ The film includes footage of men’s and women’s business but everything has been walked through and approved by all the ceremonial tribal lore-keepers, Alec says. ‘All the scenes are allowed to be seen in the open. It’s part of our theatre … the oldest theatre in the world. ‘We want you to share this with us, we want you to come in here, because we believe in your heart of hearts that you are good and want to do the right thing.’ The team making the film was an international one, with Brits, a Frenchman, South African and an American filling the roles. Among them is sound mixer David White, who won an Oscar for his work on Mad Max Fury Road, and the sound design is indeed masterful, matching the stunning visuals.

The film’s beauty reflects the Doomadgee family’s passion and pride in their culture. ‘The one thing I want people to take away from this film is that we do have hope. ‘We have hope. It’s not all doom and gloom. ‘I wanted to leave people on a high, awaken and inspire them.” The film certainly had that effect on Ms Skippon-Volke. ‘For our 10th Opening Night I was looking for something pretty special, a film that sums up the heart, art and integrity of the 10 days following its screening, and of the 10 years that led to this night,’ she says. ‘Zach’s Ceremony fit the bill perfectly. Alec, Zach and Amy Doomadgee put their hearts and souls into this this film and you can’t help but feel touched and invested in this personal, strong and uplifting journey.’ The Byron Bay Film Festival runs over October 14–23.

ACCOMMODATION AVAILABLE NOW! • Short & long term stays

Rupture is a brutal word, a jarring word, not one you’d expect as the title of a poetry collection with roses on the cover. I felt uneasy about it when Susan Varga first told me that Rupture was the title she’d chosen for her first book of poetry, but I was wrong – it’s perfect. The poems bridge chasms, the poems heal rifts, but the title is still perfect. Here’s why. I’ve been in on Susan’s poetry from the beginning. Some five years ago, still shaky from a heart attack, I went to see her in the Southern Highlands where she spends the warmer months. She was even shakier after her recent stroke. After ten minutes of swooping, if garbled, conversation about everything under the sun, we both had to have a little lie-down. We’d sputtered out. Then we returned to the fray. She’d taken up writing poetry – despite everything, despite her years, despite words, sounds and sentences disappearing from her brain ‘like tumbleweed’, she’d started to write poetry. About the

CHESS

by Ian Rogers 15-year-old Anton Smirnov produced one of Australia’s greatest Olympic performances and is now two thirds of the way to the Grandmaster title after a stunning 8.5/10 result at the Baku Chess Olympiad, which concluded in Azerbaijan last week. For the second consecutive Olympiad, Smirnov was undefeated, scoring 5.5 against seven Grandmaster opponents and beating all other opponents in his path. Smirnov helped lift Australia, seeded 45th in an Open Olympiad featuring 170 teams from 165 countries, to a tie for 24th place; the same position as Australia’s finish in the 2014 Tromso Olympiad where Smirnov made his stunning debut – again undefeated. In Baku Smirnov was only the best of Australia’s highlight reel, with top board David Smerdon, at his final Olympiad, drawing with World Champion Magnus Carlsen, while the team beat higher ranked opponents such as Brazil and Kazakhstan. Smerdon’s decision to retire from Olympic duty was due in

part to the realisation that his work as an economist was suffering from the enormous investment in time needed to keep his chess at a high level. However, with the rise of Smirnov and several other young players, Smerdon, 32 and a veteran of seven Olympiads, was confident that in two years’ time he would hardly be missed. The other veteran in the team, Zhao Zong Yuan, 30, is also mulling over his Olympic future given the demands of the medical profession. The Open Olympiad in Baku was won for the first time in 40 years by the USA, who needed a record winning score to edge out Ukraine on tiebreak, with top seed Russia third. The Australian women’s team were seeded 54th and finished tied for 59th after a mediocre performance against a series of young and under-rated opponents. China broke a 12-year drought to win the Women’s Olympiad in Baku, a great relief not only for the top seeded Chinese team but also for World Women’s Champion Hou Yifan, who had not seen team gold since she made her debut in 2006.

brutal fissure in her life. I read them. We’ve always talked in a spirited sort of way. In the mid-1950s at the age of ten we were already at it in the school playground in suburban Sydney. Language was what I loved about Susan from the very start. She spoke Hungarian. To me this was exciting beyond all imagining. So I went and learnt Russian (not quite grasping the political irony). On weekends I would often go to the telephone box nearest my house, insert twopence and talk to Susan until someone forced me to hang up. I can vividly remember the smell of that stuffy telephone box to this day. The Romans had a phrase for what happened next: pari passu. For the next six decades we went through life pari passu – in step with each other, without meaning to be. At times we lost sight of each other for long periods; we married partners of the opposite sex, thought better of it and found someone of our

own sex to love forever; we became writers, publishing books about our mothers in the same year, Susan’s Heddy and Me, a triumph of undiminished power; we moved about, Susan to Brunswick Heads for much of each year and I to Tasmania; and we fended off death in the same Sydney hospital at much the same time, unbeknownst to each other. And we’ve both written about it. You know something when you’re ten – there’s no doubt about it. You can spot a kindred spirit before you can even spell it. And at ten you have the innocent effrontery to be able to say without further ado to whoever you’ve espied: I like you very much. I think I might like to know you always. Rupture had its first crowded launch at the newly restored Brunswick Picture House in Brunswick Heads (to be followed by launches in Sydney, Melbourne and one or two cities in between). Could anything be more stylish? More in keeping with the mind that crafted these

LETTERS from page 10 commercial activities. Partly because of the quite extraordinary historical delays in having sometimes quite simple DAs approved in Council Chambers (and the associated nitpicking that often drives applicants to despair), a culture has developed of ‘let’s get on with it and do it anyway and if Council jacks up we’ll negotiate and put in a DA’. I suspect that the other component in this attitude is an often somewhat belligerent attitude towards bureaucracy by those who have moved here expecting a rather more laissez-faire regulatory environment. One can hardly be

surprised at potential developers adopting this modus operandi when one looks at the example of a recently re-elected councillor (and mayoral candidate, no less) who has become an arch-exponent of this approach and who is currently operating two identical storage business activities on his rural property, neither of which is covered by a current DA. Apparently, the scratchy, hand-written DA lodged by him for yet another hugely expanded operation is sufficient for the Council’s planning and compliance staff to leave him to operate these largely unregulated activities continued on page 14

poems? (I’m tempted to follow suit, pari passu, when my next book is launched.) Susan’s is not a dark book, it’s a book that thumbs its nose at death and disease, it cocks an undaunted snook at them – Susan and her partner Anne Coombs are both difficult to daunt – without a whiff of that self-regarding pained bravery that characterises so many works by survivors. With simplicity the opening poems do describe finding herself in hospital (the floating sensation, the unearthly quality), her fellow patients in the ward, going home again with ‘a hole in my brain’, an early frightening breach with Anne. All the same, she has not ‘come undone’, as she says she has, and begins to seize hold of life again with a gentle fierceness: first the house in the Highlands which she has to own anew (the light in it, the colours, furniture, books and paintings, the views, even the ants); then friends and loves and fears; then Sydney (‘you old harlot’) where her senses come alive again; her dogs; and Brunswick Heads in all its flamboyance and greyness and peace and frenzy; and everywhere Anne. This is exactly right for the months and years after you’ve sidestepped death: hospital, home and the one at the heart of it all, everything slightly askew, bathed in a fresh light. The words are back. Q Robert Dessaix is the author of several memoirs, essay collections and novels, including Night Letters, A Mother’s Disgrace and, most recently, What Days Are For. He lives in Hobart. Rupture by Susan Varga (UWA Publishing) is available at local bookstores.

Do our drug laws make for a safer community? David Lisle

One of Mandy Nolan’s recent Soapboxes was a riff on drug prohibition which posed the question: What is the point of the ongoing war on drugs given its obvious failure? It’s a question those in charge of prosecuting this great moral crusade are definitely not asking. Mandy’s thesis that the war on drugs is about ‘demonising drug users’ seems spot-on in light of the official data, through which I have been rummaging of late. Soapbox readers will recall how Mandy was enjoying a mid-afternoon schooner in the pub recently when some ‘dodgy dudes’ (aka undercover cops) with a sniffer dog walked in and accosted a couple of people with a joint in their pocket. While it hardly needs to be said that the cops were unlikely to catch Mr Big in this bust, when one looks at the official data it becomes glaringly obvious that catching Mr Big is not the objective. The latest Illicit Drug Data Report (2014–15) from the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission – until recently the less impressivesounding Australian Crime

A police officer with cannabis photographed during a northern rivers raid. Photo supplied

Commission – demonstrates that catching Mr Big is not even on the radar. Despite the implied seriousness of the organisation’s name, they seem to understand their remit to be the punishment of (illegal) drug users. In his foreword to the report, the CEO Chris Dawson brags about how the 2015 reporting year set ‘new records’ for drug arrests and seizures. There were 133,926 illicit-drug arrests nationally, of which 56 per cent related to cannabis. He also boasts that the last

decade has seen illicit drug arrests increase by 70.5 per cent. (Well done, Chris!) Seizures of drugs, not seizures from taking drugs, also hit a new record of 105,826 in 2015. These are impressive statistics by any reckoning. And while they may go some way to justifying the CEO’s halfmillion-dollar salary, they’re hardly proof that the cops are keeping us safe from drugs – if that is indeed the goal of the war on drugs. What is certain though, is that the plod is very busy. But

he’s clearly not looking for Mr Big. He’s nabbing users instead. The Commission’s arrest statistics helpfully distinguish between ‘providers’ and ‘consumers’. Eighty-four per cent of drug arrests in 2015 were ‘consumers’ – those ‘possessing or administering drugs for their own use’. Of those arrested for cannabis, 88 per cent were ‘consumers’. It is uncertain how a policy of wholesale arrests contributes to the Commission’s ‘vision [of] a safer Australia that is better connected, informed and capable of responding to crime and criminal justice issues’. There is certainly no discussion of how the criminal justice system might better serve the community. The focus on numbers implies that a bigger justice system is better. ‘Arresting our way forward’ would seem an appropriate motto. If the goal of the criminal justice system were mass incarceration, then we would have cause to be pleased, because according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the number of adults in corrective services custody – a lovely euphemism – is

currently increasing at seven per cent a year. Yet we know that jail is a blunt mechanism that destroys individuals, families and ultimately the societies it seeks to protect. The phrases ‘war on drugs’ and ‘law and order’ roll easily off the tongue. Yet failure awaits when we disregard the

interaction between means and ends. Blindly enforcing laws without regard to how law enforcement might serve our stated ends – a safer community – risks making our community less safe, not more. The war on (certain) drugs remains an empty promise.

The row over burkinis reveals sour bigotry Daniel Sage

One more nation tries desperately to hold on to an oldfashioned image of itself. The French went officially mad with their decision to ban burkinis on the beach. It may have been understandable following the lorry

attack in Nice a month earlier. People are more scared than ever; tensions and feelings are high. But the move was dumb enough to alienate just about everybody except predictably the far right, the right, nationalists, er, and a majority of centrists and left wingers. In fact, as polled by

WE ARE OVER-GOVERNED

FLAWED LAWS RACIAL DISCRIMINATION ACT 1975 IS NOT FLAWED

You may have heard a lot of yabber by conservative commentators and right-wing politicians about their wanting to repeal section 18C of the RDA Act. It inhibits free speech, they whinge. What these people don’t talk about is that section 18D follows 18C, and that section defines exemptions. Section 18C describes: ‘Offensive behaviour because of race, colour or national or ethnic origin’ that is likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate… because of [their] race, colour or national or ethnic origin…’ Section D states: ‘Section 18C does not render unlawful anything said or done reasonably and in good faith’ with regards to ‘fair and accurate report’, or an ‘expression of a genuine belief’ etc. Australia’s first convicted racist, Andrew Bolt, was found guilty in 2011 because Justice Bromberg found his Newscorp articles regarding Aboriginals with fair skin was ‘not done reasonably and in good faith’. The judge found he had not fact-checked his stories and the material was ‘substantially proven to be untrue’. Ouch. Chris Graham from New Matilda says: ‘Provided that what you write is factual, or, if it’s not factual then it’s a genuinely held belief, you can’t be sued under the RDA’. There is nothing inherently wrong with this law. The problem appears to be that bigoted, sociopathic individuals are everywhere in society, and they are always looking for ways to inflict their unpleasantness on others. For more read the case: Eatock v Bolt [2011] FCA.

Le Figaro, 65 per cent of citizens agree with the ban. Luckily the French high court weighed in with a big ‘Non’, saying it was illegal, so that should be that for now. Except it’s a row that’s set to go on and on one way or another. The French already banned burqas in public in 2010 as part of their effort to keep their ‘national identity’ unified, undiluted, and laced with garlic. It’s the same force that frowns on using English words like hamburger when a solid French word will do and indeed bans the use of many such words by law. The culture ministry oversees a General Commission for Terminology whose task is to identify and adjust problem terms, or at least try to. Supermodel, podcast, Wi-Fi, email – all of which sound great in French – are a nonnon. Alas, the commission is on a hiding to nowhere. French people like using English words and the alternatives proposed are usually ridiculous. Wi-Fi becomes ‘accès sans fil à l’internet’; podcast is ‘diffusion pour baladeur’. Once upon a time it banned

Walkman – one of the coolest words ever invented that every kid wanted to use – in favour of ‘baladeur’. All this continuous faffing in a fight to preserve the purity of French language is intimately tied to the ill of our age: in three parts, greatly increasing populations, increasing movements of those populations, and ever more squeezed resources. That imperialism should come back and bite invaders on the bum may strike you as poetic justice – France is home to around six million immigrants from its former African and Arabic colonies – but when essential infrastructure everywhere is struggling with overuse and ever-hungrier users, we are all one giant frog in a slow-boiling pot. The French are open about their xenophobia, which might sound unhelpful but at least it allows for debate and for different voices to be heard, a more essential feature of democracy than voting every few years. France’s vehement and outspoken nationalists have long spun the division that resonates with many a French

heart. But beneath, in the deeper fabric of living together, what counts is tolerance, the ability to live and let live. And this is where they are losing their way and why the high court’s ruling represents such a small slice of the electorate – only nine per cent actually approve of the burkini. We like to laud tolerance as a great achievement, for it embraces all and aims to knit together difference into dignified society. London prides itself, for instance, on its diverse sorts all rubbing merrily along, even while the rest of the country voted us out on the high seas. Yet there is something devilish lurking in the word. Who wants merely to be tolerated? Oh, I shall tolerate you, though in fact you are troublesome, dirty, ugly, and smell. It is an act of accepting, of deigning to accept the existence of others, always others, without considering much that they must also tolerate us. That grubby side must be constantly kept at bay. But it’s still the best we’ve got. And however mean its definition may be, it is truly a

without let or hindrance. If this is the staff ’s attitude to a situation which has drawn a small torrent of criticism, one can hardly be surprised that a couple of enterprising young guys would go ahead on a similar basis and establish an entertainment business in premises apparently zoned commercial, in which similar activities have been carried on in the past and in respect of which there appears to be broad community support. Looking on the bright side, though, one can only be grateful, I suppose, that neither of these development applications went before the recently unceremoniously14 September 21, 2016 The Byron Shire Echo

Bad Sample Who’s going to say it? Sample Festival was awful. Overcrowded, long queues and rude, pushy people. Not at all the Bangalow that we residents know and love. Presumably they were Gold Coasters busting a nut to be in with the best and the brightest. The trouble is, the best and the brightest weren’t there to be seen. It used to be wonderful to saunter around the Sample of old, tasting treats from all the

great, nay, magnificent quality. I used to live on a street in north London at one end of which was the notorious Finsbury Park mosque, home to extremist Imam Abu Hamza al-Masri, whose one-eyed, hook-handed figure was the very poster boy of terror. At the other end was Arsenal football stadium. On a Friday, the street buzzed with thousands of worshippers from that mosque and the many other mosques in the area, shaking hands, smiling, being happy. Turn the corner one street down and you’d enter the borough of Stamford Hill, which that same Friday evening and the next morning would be rammed with orthodox Jews, many thousands of whom live there. There is never trouble between these two communities. Come Saturday afternoon, both of them and many other tribes too streamed down to that other great religious temple, the football pitch, where all would be decided with a ball and a whistle. Londoners wouldn’t tolerate the kind of intolerance the French are getting so heated about. Wear what you like, just mind the gap and don’t stand on the left on an escalator. Surely a country as gloriously enlightened as France – that brought us Descartes, Voltaire, Zidane, not to mention the very words to define taste like élan, vogue, éclat and mode – can do better. Must their battles still play out on women’s bodies, on what to wear, what not to wear, and all the rest of that washed-up patriarchal rubbish? Non. Ca suffit. That’s enough. best restaurants in the region. Now the restaurant stalls have been replaced by the market/music festival regulars doling out the same old stuff that we see week in, week out. I lost count of the numbers of stalls I saw selling ‘sliders’ (ie hamburgers) and salt and pepper squid. Really! Is this the best we can do? My favourite, Town, turned out fabulous food as usual under trying circumstances, producing (literally) thousands of wagyu skewers and their divine signature Bangalow Mess (pavlova plus plus).

Finding the deeper rhythms of the planet Story & image S Sorrensen

The world is vibrating at an ever-increasing pitch. The vibration is now audible. Can you hear it? I can. It whines in my ear as I stroll the foreshore at Pelican Waters. My doctor calls it tinnitus, a mysterious affliction that has nothing to do with rising global anxiety, but I reckon what I hear is the real cry of a planet whose pulse is quickening as it warms. But, here and now, a cool breeze blows across the water from the wild northern spit of Bribie Island. It carries the tangs of salt and mangrove flower to this shore; a shore tamed by roofed picnic tables, electric barbecues and garish plastic playgrounds. A body sits on the grassy verge next to the water. A woman. She’s alone. She doesn’t move. Her stillness is calming. It soothes an anxiety in me that, though low level, permeates my day-to-day life as ubiquitously as driving, coffee and internetting. I have learned to live with this anxiousness. Occasionally, the tension builds and overwhelms me, and I slump into a comatose overdrive. (Yeah, that sounds

like an oxymoron, but anyone who has suffered an anxiety attack knows what I mean. Sometimes, everything builds and builds to a hyperactivity that has you spinning like a whirling dervish, until you collapse into a sick giddiness where any action is impossible.) But I survive. (I have pills.) Is the increasing disquiet I feel just me? Or is it an external reality? Is the planet really hyping up? If the world, as a living thing, is getting more anxious, will it too slump with overwhelm?

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

Questions, questions. (They make me anxious.) Pelican Waters is a mix of suburb and mangrove to the south of Caloundra, a coastal town north of Brisbane. There’s more suburb than mangrove here as the area’s ballooning human population replaces mangroves with houses, flats and shops. The population of the world has tripled since I was born. A friend of mine said India, a favourite destination of hers, has a high vibration – so many people crammed together. There’s nowhere to

be alone. There’s no chance to slow the pulse, decrease the vibration, lessen the tension. It can be overwhelming. I walk closer to the sitting woman. Her back is straight but her head is bent. She’s probably on the phone. What else could she be doing? We are all in India now. With a mobile phone in your hand, you are never alone. You are the centre of a constant and ceaseless cyber chatter. You are a synapse in a nervous system that encircles the world. You feel every change; you react to every alert, you are never still. The rising agitation of the new world is addictive, giving shelter in a planetary storm. Smartphones sales increase with global temperatures. Distraction is our shield from the awful truth. Stillness is the enemy. The woman is not on a phone. She’s just... sitting. She’s not checking her emails, or posting a selfie to a hundred friends. She’s disconnected from the prattle. She’s alone. Amazing. I used to wonder what purpose the monastic life had. What good can there be in people divorcing

themselves from the material world. Now I know. These monks and nuns, bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, sadhus and sadvis – these quiet people – are our connection to the slower, deeper rhythms of the planet. They anchor our reality to the deeper sea bed. Unlike the whirling dervish, they

let the planet do the spinning. The woman feels me watching her. She slowly turns her head to me. I’m embarrassed. Her eyes flash like sun off water and she smiles. The din of an anxious world fades away. These quiet people are people of action.

HE A L I NG IS I N T HE A PPROACH There are two primary approaches to health. The most commonly used approach is symptomatic relief – for example, if you have a headache, you take a painkiller, headache is resolved, but may reappear on a regular basis requiring ongoing medication. The second, rarely used approach is to address the cause of the headache – for example, a common cause for headache is dehydration, so having a large glass of water will commonly bring about exactly the same results – no headache – in the same timeframe, with no drugs required, however. You now understand why you have a headache and you drink more water, experiencing far fewer headaches. At the Good Skin Clinic we teach our patients the cause and best treatment for their skin conditions, empowering them to live without the pain and embarrassment of their disease.

Property insider Put and call options – information for commercial agents According to the REINSW website, put and call options are becoming more popular in some areas. This is according to Barry Johnston of Balmoral Partners, who said options are an important tool for the real estate industry to use. They provide the parties with flexibility and the confidence to invest time and money in progressing a property deal before fully owning it. He discussed put and call options in detail at a REINSW webinar, along with Gary Newton of TressCox Lawyers.

buyer to purchase their property within a set time period for a set price’. ‘A put and call option is the right to force the purchaser to buy the property at a future point in time. Normally the developer will have a call option agreement, which is a one-sided document that says they have the right to buy the property at a set price in, say, two years’ time. ‘It doesn’t need to be subject to anything and the vendor can agree to this for a fee, often about one per cent of the purchase price. Then if the market drops in two years’ time the seller can pocket the money if the developer doesn’t exercise the option.’

Gary explained: ‘Options have been around for centuries. In real estate the call option is the right granted by the seller for the He added that the benefit of

$ TIME

options in real estate is a buyer can gain control without being fully committed. They may need time to consolidate a row of houses or obtain council approvals to develop the land. This gives the buyer confidence and certainty that they control the sites for a set period of time while they get started with planning and building approvals. The vendor is often happy because they may get a higher price by allowing the developer

time to consolidate a site or obtain their approvals. If the sale does not proceed they often keep the option fee and can remarket the property. Gary said: ‘The more properties developers own, the more the value goes up. If they talk to the council and get a rezoning approved, the value goes up. ‘A decision can also be made if the buyer is going alone or if they exercise a nomination provision, which is normally a call option and a clause which

says they can buy it or nominate any third party to buy it.’ This may give ownership flexibility without the need to pay double stamp duty. Parties need to seek their own tax advice.

track with the plans for the best use of that site.’

Advice to agents

‘It is also good practice to see what is out there in the market by speaking to other agents and looking at how long you should be entering an option for, which of course depends on the circumstances.’

Barry said: ‘If you get a group of vendors interested in options, as an agent you may need to encourage them to speak to a professional town planning consultant’. ‘This is because these consultants do this day in and day out, and as good as an agent may be, they may not know all of the issues that go into developing a property. Town planning specialists study these issues and can add substantial value in this process. ‘Sometimes the best thing to do is go to a consultant and get them on board to meet the vendors. This way you know you’re heading down the right

Like attracts like?

A spirited awardee and a newbie You might have heard about the blue gin that turns pink. But have you heard about the rum that is produced in the same northern rivers distillery?

A fortnight ago, Ink Gin won Best Innovation in the spirits category at the Australian Drinks Awards. The rum is also different. ‘Ninety-nine per cent of rum is made from molasses,’ says Harriet Messenger, Paul’s daughter and Husk’s marketing and sales manager. ‘We are the only ones in Australia, and one of the few in the world, who make rum from sugar cane.’ Literally hot off the still (it was first available yesterday) is an un-aged (and therefore white) rum called Pure Cane. If you’re interested in trying it, you’d better get in quick, as Husk’s aged rum (also an awardee), released last year, sold out in three days. Husk aims to be a sustainable distillery. This doesn’t mean that it will produce sufficient alcohol to sustain you through an entire night out. It means that Husk actively minimises the effect of their production on the environment.

free of cost, courtesy of their two 22kW Tesla connectors.

Unfortunately for the planet, no-one has arrived in the Byron region by hand-hewn balsawood raft since 1973, with most driving or, worse still, flying and driving.

The resort’s Heath Batterham said, ‘Most of the Teslas currently reach us from the local area, Brisbane or the Gold Coast, because of the range restrictions but the great news is that we have helped create a network that would allow drivers to reach us from Sydney or Melbourne in the south or the Sunshine Coast in the north.

However, anyone who is driving to Byron in a Tesla has at least invested a significant amount of their own money (they cost $100,000+) into helping to save the planet, so who wouldn’t want more of those people around? The Byron at Byron resort’s patrons can charge their Teslas

We are very excited to be part of the important future of our planet.’

Fewer trucks, more locals, good vibes

Story and photos by Vivienne Pearson

Husk Distillers are located in Tumbulgum, a region as beautiful as the gin. The keys to the local beauty are the Tweed River and Wollumbin (Mount Warning). The secret of the gorgeous gin is butterfly pea flowers, which give the blue colour as well as its capacity as an acid-base indicator – remember litmus tests from high-school chemistry? Lemon and lime juice, as well as tonic water, are options for providing the acidity that turns the gin pink.

Byron’s marketing message does influence the sort of people we attract, hopefully the sort of tourists that will respect and benefit our region.

Story and photos by Vivienne Pearson A new food event – the Byron Bay Good Vibes Twilight Street Food Market – was held on Saturday at Byron’s Youth Activity Centre (YAC). Top: The awardees and (front and centre) the newbie Harriet and Paul Messenger with the still In practice, this means growing cane within a short walk of the distillery, using the bagasse (the fibrous part of cane) to mulch new rainforest plantings, and having cows, which eat the left-over bits of the botanicals used to make gin as well as the yeasty distilling waste, which is wonderfully high in protein. Plans are afoot for you to be able to see all for yourself, thanks to building works to enlarge the distillery as well to create a tasting room, cafe and information/museum area. In the meantime, you can think of cows, cane and chemistry as you sip some award-winning, locally produced gin or some brand-new rum. Info: Ink Gin can be found at every independent bottleshop in the northern rivers, Dan Murphy’s, online (huskdistillers.com) and in locally made cocktails. The new Pure Cane rum is available online and will gradually make its way into bottleshops and cocktails.

real farmers, real food

The event promised food trucks (it seemed that most would be travelling from the Gold Coast), live music and vintage/handmade stalls. What eventuated was fewer trucks but more local businesses than expected. The one actual truck was supplemented by caravans, trailers, and a Kombi van, along with many of the usual market marquees. More local businesses featured than expected, including Byron’s Knox & Aya’s vegan icecream, Stokers Siding’s Gunter’s Flammkuchen (it’s not pizza but bears a striking resemblance to it) and Byron’s The Grassy Bowl (the aforementioned Kombi van). One of the organisers, Matt Whalley, says he and his partner, Kat Creasey (who together run Gold Coast Design Collective), arranged the event as a way of ‘giving back’ to the YAC, where Kat undertook business training as a teenager. Matt says the giving back takes the form of paying generous rent for the event, as well as helping keep the YAC on the radar for young people. The Byron Youth Service, who run the YAC, are positive about the event. Manager Teeya Blatt says the event was very well

organised and attended. ‘It was a very relaxed atmosphere, the punters stayed, the music was good, and it shows that there is a desire for alcohol-free events,’ says Teeya. ‘It’s great to see the YAC being used in such a way – it’s such an underutilised community resource.’ With anything new, especially something bringing businesses in from outside the area, there is understandable concern about the impact on local businesses and markets. Matt and Kat are acutely aware of this. They have great loyalty to the Byron region and stress that they would not do anything to tread on toes. ‘If we came back, it would be a seasonal thing – every couple of months,’ says Matt. ‘We wouldn’t come back so regularly as to damage other markets.’ Their love of the Byron region has been further enhanced by the event. ‘I was so impressed with how polite everyone was,’ says Matt. ‘I had six or seven complete strangers stop me to say thank you as I was collecting rubbish.’ The YAC is a great place to hold such an event – with some undercover space, a gentle grass slope just begging to be dotted with picnic blankets, and a neighbouring open grass area for kids needing to burn off some energy. The vibes were certainly good at the Good Vibes Street Food market.

He speaks to The Echo about his passion for music, life on the road and genre busting! When you were a young lad, working as a sound engineer in blues clubs, who were the musicians who first inspired you?

different here than in Canada on the surface but not really when it comes to the people. Everyone who’s drawn to my shows seems to be a friend that I’ve just met; we have a lot in common and much to share.

I became inspired on 18 January 1970. I was 15 years old and on my way downtown with a friend who wrote articles for a rock magazine. It was Saturday afternoon when we arrived at a matinee show at a club featuring Buddy Guy and Junior Wells.

Your unique genre of ‘mysticissippi blues’ has a very sweet, relaxing sound that makes people happy. Shouldn’t blues makes us sad? What do you think, beyond the classic blues chord progressions, makes blues the blues?

I was too young to get in, but the owner so wanted to have an article written by my companion about the club that he agreed to have me sit in the back. I was impressed beyond belief with the theatrics of the show. The clothes, the swagger, the deep groove, the trance that settled over the crowd, the crying guitar, the moaning harmonica. I loved it all. It spoke very clearly to me.

I once heard it said that the blues is not about feeling bad, it’s about making other people feel bad. There’s probably not much truth to that but it’s funny and I love it. When I think about the blues I think about it as an art form that has really deep roots. I suppose when some people other hear about the blues the usual clichés come to mind. They imagine a guy down on his luck, lost his way, lost his love, dog bit him, stuff like that; maybe somebody who is wallowing in their troubles. But the other side of the blues is that it’s really just another way of saying that you’re suffering.

I was inspired. You started with guitar as your main instrument. Now that you perform with such an array, including banjo and the Indian mohan veena, how do you choose which instrument to play on which songs? A song gets inside me at some point and then I find it can be played on any instrument. The same song sounds different on each instrument too, so it usually comes down to a choice of which casts the greater spell on the crowd.

Most people have had the blues at one time or another. It’s a household phenomenon. The blues is mostly a song about life-sized struggles; it’s spiritual music; it’s all about a person seeking release from their pain and suffering. I don’t know that the blues ever tried appeal to the masses, to make somebody rich or to be a fashion.

The Mohan Veena with its 20 strings usually casts the biggest spell of all.

Blues has mostly been the direct voice of the human spirit. Because of that it’s timeless in the world of music. Muddy You do a lot of touring. What do you enjoy most about live Waters’s sound is as contemporary today as when he made his performing? Are Australian audiences different from those recordings back in the 60s. The blues is always a song about the struggle of the individual; it needed to be sung and people want elsewhere? I can fall into tune with things very easily when I tour over here. to hear it. They still do, they always will. They see themselves in that music and it moves them on every level. Singing about I like your Aussie breakfast with the beans, flat whites and all their pain becomes a cure for what ails them. A way to let their that. But yes, I think there’s a really good balance of demand suffering go. and supply happening between myself and the people who Blues guys have known for a long time that the blues has always attend my shows. been both the cure and the illness. The lyrics to a lot of the blues I see that I’ve managed to inspire a few of them and they in turn tunes describe hard times while the music is mostly always tell me their stories, which inspire me to stay creative. delivered with a deep musical groove that turns the words on The audience is never that different from place to place from their head. That particular way of putting your troubles into where I sit (with the lights in my eyes). Things are a little song speaks to a lot of people.

TURN YOUR HEARTBREAK INTO JOY BY ENTERING MULLUM MUSIC FESTIVAL’S PLAY MULLUM ‘BREAKUP’ SONGWRITING COMPETITION Breaking up is never easy, we know, but Mullum Music Festival is giving you the chance to turn that heartbreak into joy by entering the ‘Play Mullum’ songwriting competition for a chance to perform at this year’s festival. The theme this year is ‘Break-up Songs’. He/she may have left you and taken the dog but what better payback than to perform your break-up song before hundreds of people at Mullum Music Festival! Presented by Rhythms magazine, your original song will be judged by the editorial team. So get writing and recording (a simple video recorded on a mobile phone will do) or send your already-themed song in to the Play Mullum ‘Break-up’ Songwriting Competition for your chance to win a 30-minute performance at the festival on Sunday 20 November and a double pass. Head to www.mullummusicfestival.com for full details and application forms. Each year the theme of the Play Mullum Songwriting Competition is different. Previous Play Mullum winners include Nicole Cross in 2015 for her song White Walls that responded to the theme ‘One Day Can Change Everything’; Dan Hannaford in 2014 for his protest song Payday and Bill Jacobi in 2013 for his song Ride in response to the theme ‘Hitting The Road’. For details and applications call 6684 6195 or visit www.mullummusicfestival.com. You might hear a blues singer getting deep into it about suffering and hard times, and all the time your toe can’t stop itself from tapping. I think that’s the alchemy of the blues: taking a negative experience and transforming it into a song, a dance, a poem. Helping you to move on, that’s what I try to do with it. Looking way into the future, do you envisage that your style of playing, your mixing of Indian ragas with the blues, will be carried on by others? I have to wonder about that. It will need someone who loves both Indian classical and the blues so much that it happens simply by chance that they come together in one person’s hands. It happened to me by following my passion. Along the way I think I may have influenced a few people’s thinking about musical boundaries. Whenever I encountered one, I’d cross it. I learned the structure of Indian classical ragas and then I adjusted them to fit my needs. The same applies to the structure of blues. I rarely play in the typical 12-bar fashion; I often use one chord and a lot of groove to move a song forward. Basically my approach has been to learn as much as I can about music, then forget all that and just play with all my heart and soul. Seems to work pretty well. Harry Manx plays the Star Court Theatre in Lismore on Friday 30 September (www.starcourttheatre.com.au) and the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on 1 October (www.ticketebo.com. au/harrymanxmullum).

What is the collective noun for a group of slim, incredibly attractive young women in swimsuits and tiaras? A nightclub? A pole dance? No, it’s a pageant. A few weeks ago in Melbourne, the winner of the 2016 Miss Universe Australia pageant, Caris Tiivel, was crowned. Ms Tiivel told the Herald Sun she ‘couldn’t believe her luck’ in winning the crown. And it is luck. Why do we celebrate the achievements of those who won the genetic lottery when technically they haven’t done anything? If anyone gets the prize, shouldn’t it be the pageant-contestant breeders – their parents? It surprises me that, in 2016, beauty pageants still exist.

Who would have thought that, well over a century since suffragettes put their lives on the line to win women the vote, we’d be lining up to be awarding Australia’s most beautiful woman? Doesn’t that feel the teensiest bit degrading? Not the smartest. Not the most compassionate. Not the most athletically stupendous. The most physically beautiful. All these years on, when it comes down to it, we’re only a dog collar away from Best in Show. I’m sorry, but I can’t see the merit in this. Beauty contests belong in the museum with golliwogs and chastity belts. Feminists have been protesting beauty pageants since the year I was born. In 1968 protesters drew

ALL THAT GLITTERS

THE UGLY BUSINESS OF BEING BEAUTIFUL nationwide attention when they stood outside the Miss America pageant and threw items representing the constraints of femininity and protested the objectification of women. It was 1968 when Miss Australia, the pageant started by a lingerie company, was transferred to the Australian Cerebral Palsy Association. Talk about passing the beauty buck – clearly trying to avoid feminist criticism by hiding behind the disabled. It seems somewhat ironic, does it not, that one should use a beauty competition to raise money for people who experience marginalisation and discrimination because of an image-obsessed culture. That’s like raising money for cancer by selling Pink Ribbon cigarettes. Of all the qualities of beauty upheld in pageants, it is perhaps thinness that is the

most consistent. In her book The Beauty Myth feminist writer Naomi Woolf critiques this value as having sinister implications with regards to social control. She says, ‘A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.’ The pageants know they are living on borrowed time. Miss World Australia has rebranded itself with a motto of ‘Beauty with a Purpose’. But isn’t that the point of beauty? It’s meaningless. In fact comedian Tina Fey says my favourite thing in relation to beauty: ‘If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty, which is: who cares’. Deborah Miller, the national

First of all, congratulations, the program looks fantastic! What do you look for when you are programming? It’s important to create experiences that speak to a broad section of the community. It is also important for Glitter to create events and present performances that cross over to mainstream. What was the inspiration for the Glitter Festival on the GC? The LGBTIQP+ community doesn’t have an obvious presence on the Gold Coast. Previous social groups and activities have struggled for support. In context of ‘arts’ – the community has the opportunity to come together to share some great creative and social projects. What do you think the special moments are going to be this year? Anthony Callea tickets selling really fast. Particularly proud of Brown Sugar, which brings together our first national community. How do you plan to grow the event?

Brad Rush is the artistic director, and he spoke to The Echo about this exciting new event that is now in its second year.

The event will grow through community support. Look forward to attracting more participation from the drive market. Gold Coast is great destination and has terrific tourism opportunity. How did you find yourself working in the arts? Been part of my world from very early age. I’m performer, musician and kinda stuck into my DNA. I love that I can continue that passion from various angles. I really like what I get to do!

director of 2016 Miss World Australia Pageant, has said ‘to be a feminist doesn’t mean you can’t be beautiful and put makeup on and be attractive’. No, it doesn’t. I think we all know that. However, when you’re a feminist and you’re talking about world peace you’re generally not wearing a swimsuit. You don’t see tiaras and heels in a TED Talk. And hey, if the beautify pageants were so aligned with feminist values then why isn’t it Ms World? The concept of what constitutes beauty is highly subjective and not something that can be measured by pitting one woman against another. Every time you crown a girl the ‘most beautiful’ it sends every other girl the message that she’s not beautiful enough. As American author Courtney E Martin has argued in her book Perfect Girls, Starving

Daughters: How the Quest for Perfection is Harming Young Women, ‘Real beauty simply can’t be scored. It isn’t tamed, plucked, planned, premeditated or rehearsed. Real beauty is about resilience: girls and women who have been through something and come out on the other side.’ The beauty fairytale is most toxic for little girls. According to ‘the most depressing possible study about body image’ surveying nearly 400 English childcare workers, up to a third of pre-school-aged children consider themselves ‘fat’. Beauty pageants are an intrinsic part of the language that underwrites women’s deepest self-loathing. Beautiful women are everywhere. On the bus. On your street, and hey, just in front of you. There’s even one in the mirror. With this kind of beauty, no tiaras are required.

What is the show that made the biggest impact on you as a young man? Wow – that’s a good question. I’m a hopeless musical-theatre boy. What was most impacting was going to shows with my mum and nana. They were both provided very good foundation and creative support. Gave me an appetite. Probably was old school – My Fair Lady, Merry Widow… but it was moreso the whole experience including sharing with Mum and Nana. First time I flew on my own to Sydney to see the original Cats was pretty special. How do events such as Glitter Festival contribute to inclusivity – especially artistically; are performers who happen to be gay still ghettoised? Glitter has been created at a time when those boundaries are less evident. We are boldly saying, ‘Okay, people – just get on with it’. Doesn’t matter what your background is. It’s the art that brings commonality… so the programming and events are very important. The other day my eldest daughter told me her friend had come out and she remarked, ‘In the future I don’t think people will need to come out because it will be so normal and people won’t be assuming you’re straight or gay or anything’. Do you think this is true, or is it too naively optimistic? I love that. I think our community sometimes closes in on itself either through fear, or by habit. I totally agree on this optimism and it’s ideally strongly supported by the thinking of Glitter. What should people expect for this year’s Glitter Festival? We have enlisted some amazing community-arts workers. I think this year more community participation. And mostly activation in more creative ways Thursday 6 October till Sunday 9 October.

Madness is the new single by Tom Lee-Richards, an offering that is both raw and strikingly honest.

ARIES: An undeniably full-on week for you do-it-

s r a t S with Lilith

This week’s astral news: Spring equinox, a full-moon lunar eclipse, Mercury moving forward and the sun in the sign of making beautiful music…

TAURUS: After midweek’s peaceful Taurus moon, this week’s astral activities turn up the heat in the cosmic kitchen, intensifying differences of opinion to, in some cases, dramatic crescendos. If you can keep cool and focus on the best outcome for all concerned, some really significant healing can be achieved. GEMINI: Ride out this week’s potentially rough start and rocky passage, then when late-week Gemini moon combines with your planet ruler Mercury turning direct, mysteries start clarifying, misunderstandings unravelling, missing links knit up… and finally the sun shines in the sign of peace and pleasure, camaraderie, companionship and common ground.

yourselfers. But equinox is also a time of equality: balancing everyday obligations with enough of the things you love – outgoing enthusiasms with internal nurturing. Making peace with the past eases the release of old habit patterns, painful memories, ancient contracts.

CULTURE

RAISING THE BOOMERANG FOR BLUES

Boomerang Festival, Bundjalung country’s very own world-class Indigenous arts and culture festival, is launching a series of satellite events to raise awareness and funds for its long-term future. Boomerang needs upwards of $800,000 to become a standalone festival once again, and a minimum of $200,000 each time it presents at Bluesfest. The ultimate goal is to make Boomerang Festival the foremost Indigenous arts and culture festival in the world. Local businesses and individuals are standing side

CANCER: If full-moon eclipse in a fellow water sign initiated some kind of liquid issue – anything from a leak, high tide, tears, flooding or overconsumption of recreational fluids – recent retrograde reality checks will have significantly strengthened your Cancerian ability to adapt to this week’s fluctuating social currents.

SAGITTARIUS: Think road rage couldn’t happen to you? This week travel accident potential’s high so cool your jets, ardent Archers. Hold your horses. Slow down. And before offering opinions, consider other people’s feelings. Channel those passionate beliefs into doing what you do best: sharing a skill, or teaching what you know.

CAPRICORN: Capricorns excel at professional networking, can tend to dominate as team leaders. If retrograde misperceptions lead to heated exchanges, or people are contentious and argumentive, keep dialogue and negotiations open. This week offers interesting opportunities for letting trusted, competent others make decisions and take the reins.

LEO: With full-moon eclipse bringing finances into fullfrontal focus, checking paperwork, figures, contracts, bank or tax statements for errors, mistakes or omissions helps release the grip of inner money worries. Though best postpone major economic decisions, if possible, till next week when the fiscal climate’s more auspicious. VIRGO: As planetary activity heightens everyone’s sensitivity we can all lose the plot; Mercury turning direct on Thursday puts life back on track. But take it slowly. Add intuition to those signature Virgo logistics. Let key people in your life know much they matter to you, because right now friends are the best medicine. LIBRA: Librans hate saying no, can vacillate about making up their minds. But as eclipse energies expose hidden pieces of recent puzzles, informed choices get easier. Just don’t over-commit, or promise more than you’re comfortable with. Late-week spring equinox brings a beautifully balanced beginning to your month in the Libran sun.

SCORPIO: This week’s questions are deep and conversations probing, with issues bubbling to the surface for resolution. As something formerly concealed is revealed, an attitude adjustment to move things forward becomes available. Dropping your story about a person or situation can free energy up for imaginative, spontaneous engagement. Lead with your heart.

This Monday sees 14 new standup comedy hopefuls throw caution to the wind and take that first step into the blazing spotlight. ‘Being onstage is a powerful place,’ says Nolan, who has been applying herself to the dark art of standup for the past 30 years. ‘When you are up on stage on your own with no props, no instrument, no people to hide behind, you get this incredible experience of it’s all being you. And it is. Standup is only about your ability to connect with an audience. Nothing else will do. No tricks. No pretending. That’s what makes it so dynamic.’ Over the last six weeks Nolan has delivered the basics on joke crafting, on structure, on how to find your voice and,

Named â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cabaret diva of the highest orderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by New York Post, one of the Top Performers of the Year by The New Yorker, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Queen of Chansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by the Berliner Zeitung and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a phenomenonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by the Australian press, multi-award-winning Meow Meowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo works have been curated by David Bowie, Pina Bausch and Mikhail Baryshnikov among others.

PETEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DRAGON BRIDGET JONESâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BABY Pete (Oakes Fegley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where DO they get these names?) is in the back seat of the family car when it crashes in a pine forest (set in America, the film was shot in New Zealand). Both of his parents are killed and fouryear-old Pete runs terrified into the woods. We meet him again six years later and he has evolved into a New World Mowgli with a bad wig and a bit of little Jackie Paper about him. His unlikely survival is owing to the kind nature of the enormous green dragon that has befriended him. So yes, it is a kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flick, but it has so much more heart and intelligence than you would find in most run-of-the-mill mainstream blockbusters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather watch this than Mad Max: Fury Road or a kill-athon any day of the week. Peteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairytale existence will come to an end â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is a given. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of growing up, but dare any of us abandon the magic that is always out there? Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter), the local park ranger, encounters Pete and takes him with her back to town. The dragon, Elliot, goes looking for his mate, setting in train the awful confrontation that you know is coming between â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;civilisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The bad guys are the loggers who are making ever deeper encroachments into Elliotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pine-forested environment. When they become aware of Elliotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existence they hunt him down with a view to making big bucks from exhibiting him. With her dad, the wise elder (Robert Redford), Grace and Pete must somehow save Elliot from entrapment and crass exploitation. The CGI creation of the dragon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it has friendly fur, not reptilian scales â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is absolutely convincing, particularly when the often intrusive soundtrack is cut so that you can hear his grunts and hoary sighs. The dramatic climax is not as harrowing as King Kong atop the Empire State building, and its outcome is less tragic, but I was blinking back the tears. Wonderful.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Bitter experience has told cine tragics that sequels are usually rubbish â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Godfather: Part II (1974) stands forever as the exception to the rule. Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason (2004) was an absolute stinker, so this latest, an apparent afterthought from the franchise, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overexcite. But despite a hastily construed and tackily constructed intro, it delivers with ebullience and warmth, and plenty of self-deprecating humour and savvy satire along the way. Adjusting after such a long time lapse, however, is not easy at first. To begin with, Bridget is now 43, and looks every day of it, while Mark is positively cadaverous in his dark barristerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suit. After this initial shock, however (like bumping into old friends that you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in ages and thinking how much the years have taken their toll), both RenÃ©e Zellweger and Colin Firth settle comfortably into their parts as if they had never been away. The ghost in the machine, naturally, is Hugh Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daniel, so he has been wisely killed off before Bridget, alone again, must own up to her latest emotional crisis. Convinced by a friend and fellow worker at the TV news show where she has made a formidable career for herself, Bridget decides that what she needs more than anything is a good rogering.

The Bangalow Premiership Women’s Team proved they are a powerhouse of local football after winning their fourth title in a row. Photo supplied

The Bangalow Bluedogs Soccer Club has made north coast history after its men’s and women’s premiership teams each won their grand finals. ‘The club is very happy, over the moon. It was a great result,’ women’s coach Paul Hanigan said. On Saturday night the male Bluedogs overcame the Goonellabah Hornets 1–0 to clinch their championship. ‘We knew it was going to be a contest. The Hornets had only lost two games all season. ‘Somehow we got the chocolate on the night.’ The winning goal was struck in the middle of the first half by Rory Devlin, and

it was rock-solid defence after that, which made all the difference, he said. The Bluedogs also studied the tactics of the Hornets from earlier games and made a couple of positional changes that helped to ‘snuff out’ their attacking options. A bus load of supporters helped to fill the stands and also give the Bluedogs momentum. Many of the championship winning female Bluedogs were there in support, and to see history being made. A week earlier the women’s team was tested by a young Lismore Thistles side who weren’t strong enough. The Bluedogs won 2–0.

‘Two decisive goals in the second half by Football Far North Coast 2016 Women’s Premier Division Player of the Year, Hollie Jarrett, was enough to see the Bluedogs win their fourth consecutive title,’ Paul said. Hollie was named Player of the Match and received the Lisa Casagrande Medal for her efforts. Kendell Brazendale, Isabelle Braly and goalkeeper Mel Allan all had great games, he said. Four minor and major premierships in a row is a huge achievement, and we would like to thank our major sponsor the Bangalow Hotel for their continued support of women’s soccer.

Rams Reserves take the double! Dogwhistle

Mixed fortunes for the Byron Bay Rams’ grand finalists this year, with the Rails Hotel Third Division boys going down to Alstonville and the rampaging Reserves making history by taking out both the Pointscore Championship and the Major Premiership. After dominating Friday night’s match with some of their best football, the Thirds were unlucky to concede in the final minutes of their Grand Final to go down 2–1. But the Reserve Grade Rams sealed an historic double on Saturday afternoon with a hard-fought 1–0 win over the Richmond Rovers. Byron pressed the defending champions hard from the opening whistle, pressuring the Rovers’ goal with rapid-fire attacks from Bruce Morhaus, Will Ennis, Kazuhiro Tsukamoto, Kari Isaac

MBVFC breaks 25-year voodoo

Winners: Some of the players in the MBVFC’s top team have been playing together since they were six years old. Photo supplied

The Mullumbimby Brunswick Valley Football Club’s top team won its first grand final in a quarter of a century in Lismore last weekend. The last time the MBVFC men’s team won a grand final, only two of the current team were born, Kol Dimond MBVFC secretary said. ‘The internet was just

being released, Freddie Mercury was not feeling too well, and our life long president Chris Fenwick was being told, even back then, that maybe he should consider retiring from the game! And yes, he’s still playing,’ he said. The MBVFC beat Woodburn 3–0 in the Men’s Second Division grand final.

It was one of 30 grand finals played over the last three weeks in the Football Far North Coast league. ‘It was fantastic to see our young Men’s Division Two grand final winners last Saturday finally put this 25-yearold jinx to bed,’ he said. ‘Congratulations to the club for a fantastic year’.

Local conquers the world Byron Bay professional athlete Tim Reed won his first 70.3 World Championship half triathlon on the Sunshine Coast earlier this month. ‘It was awesome to win on home soil,’ he said. His wife, children, parents and plenty of friends were at hand providing encouragment as he crossed the finished line. ‘The atmosphere in Mooloolaba was electric. It was a special day,’ he said. The event is made up of a 1.9km swim, a 90km bike ride, and a 21.1km run. Tim has been a professional athlete since 2010 and moved into Byron around the same time. Next month he will take on the world’s best when he competes in a full triathlon World Championship held in Hawaii. As a 31-year-old he is at his

peak for the shorter course, but plans to build his performance in the longer event over the next four years. There is no secret formula for being a pro athlete, just hard work over time. ‘You reap the rewards at your peak, but it can take 10–15 years to get there’.

The job involves a lot of international travel and the ‘heartbreak’ of leaving his young family behind. So far this year he has already had ten trips away. On the upside he gets to see the world and ‘hang out with a great bunch of people. I feel pretty lucky,’ he said.

Basketball carnival attracts record numbers First touch triumph for new players Players from Tasmania joined 26 teams to compete in this year’s Senior Basketball Carnival at the Cavanbah Centre in Byron Bay. The carnival kicked off last Friday night and featured 46 high-quality games across the weekend, Jenny Ogle from the Byron Basketball

Association said. The top men’s teams included the Melbourne City Tigers and the Brisbanebased Rusty Trombones. Women winners included the Brisbane Hawks. The two Byron men’s teams, the Beez and the Treehouse team, were

generally competitive but failed to make the finals. The annual event is attracting ever-increasing numbers and is a social event as much as anything else. ‘Basketball teams travel around going to different carnivals,’ she said. ‘It can often bring old teams back

together when people have moved away to different areas.’ The friendly nature of the event didn’t stop high-quality basketball being played. By the time the finals were being played on Sunday spectator numbers had risen well above 200, Jenny said.

The weekend was all about ‘healthy competition and not high pressure, so everyone can have a good time’. ‘Children at this age are thirsty to be good at something, it is really good for their self-esteem. It has to come from the child,’ she said. Plenty of effort went into the performances with fan-

tastic costumes and quality dancing the norm. The performers put in at least 6-12 hours training a week, but can do more depending on their age and how enthusiastic they are, Histon said. Dancing is just one part of the Eisteddfod that has been running for 104 years and attracts more than 4000 competitors from across the northern rivers.

Backlash the hair & makeup studio

The election result for Byron Shire is the most astonishing change of direction Backlash has seen in the last 30 years, with the voting regime likely to be 8–1 on many issues. A lot less heat and a bit more light as well. We hope the conservative Alan Hunter will not be ‘lonerised’ by his greener colleagues. We can’t say we’re disappointed it’s not a realtor-driven council. Q Q Q Q

But where are all the missing voters? For Byron’s council election, there were 16,474 formal votes and 741 informal votes, out of a total 24,856 electors enrolled as of August 1. The fine for not voting is only $55, so a lot of people must be prepared to wear it. The turnout was also similar in the 2012 election.

Q Q Q Q

It’s good the federal government is looking for growers for medicinal cannabis in Australia rather than importing product from overseas. Backlash has heard there might be experienced people in this field on the north coast. The prospective candidates will be screened, including potentially hundreds of experienced cannabis growers who may have fallen foul of the law at some stage. It’s a good way to rehabilitate all those ‘crims’, or you could just decriminalise the stuff. Medicinal cannabis does not need to contain high levels of THC, however. A different chemical, cannabidiol (CBD), in some strains is being regarded as therapeutic. There’s interesting background on LeafScience at http://bit.ly/ medmar2.

In its latest Sustainability newsletter (byron.nsw.gov. au/newsletters/sustainability/-12) Byron Shire Council reports on ‘street libraries’. ‘Street libraries are little weatherproof houses for books planted in people’s front yards, parks, streets, libraries, childcare centres etc, where anyone can “take a book or leave a book”. They encourage neighbours to connect and share books, activate streets, support the sharing and re-use economy. Books are free to borrow and you’re encouraged to add books to your local street library.’ Backlash thinks it’s a great idea and
