Byron Bay police bashing – still no resolution Paul Bibby The year-long delay in deciding whether or not to charge a local police officer involved in the violent arrest of a distressed youth in Byron Bay is ‘unacceptable’, the state’s leading civil liberties organisation says. In a strongly worded letter to NSW attorney-general, Mark Speakman, the NSW Council for Civil Liberties (NSWCCL) expressed serious concern about the delay in dealing with the incident, in which the officer struck the youth 18 times with a baton in the early hours of January 11 last year. ‘The NSWCCL is of the view that this delay is unacceptable,’ the secretary of the NSWCCL Therese Cochrane said. ‘The young person, who was seriously injured in this incident, and the community are entitled to know, in a timely manner, where the accountability lies in relation to this incident of excessive force and whether the officer involved will be prosecuted. ‘We expect this matter would be weighing heavily upon the young person involved.’ Footage of the officer, known as Officer E, repeatedly hitting the youth was aired on national television, bringing an outraged response from many locals and the wider community. The teenager suffered broken

ribs and multiple bruises and abrasions during the incident, which also took a severe psychological toll. The arrest became the subject of a public inquiry by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC), which ultimately found that the senior constable known as ‘Officer E’ struck the teenager 19 times with his baton, including a number of times while the youth was handcuffed. The LECC found that this constituted ‘an inappropriate use of excessive force’ and referred the matter to the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions (NSW DPP) seeking advice as to whether Officer E should be charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. But the LECC, the community, the youth, and his family are still waiting for the NSW DPP to provide this advice. Meanwhile, NSW Police have confirmed that Officer E has now left the Tweed-Byron region. ‘He is now performing duties at another command,’ a NSW Police spokesperson said. ‘He is no longer stationed within Tweed Byron Police District.’ The spokesperson also said Officer E was ‘subject to an interim risk management plan’. ‘We are still awaiting the DPP review of this matter. As that review is ongoing no further comment is possible.’

Time to stand for koalas – if you care Aslan Shand The logging of the high-use koala habitat in the Braemar State Forest is due to start this Friday 13 and the call is going out for people to take a stand for koalas this Sunday. This area is one of the most significant koala populations known in NSW State Forests according to ecologist Dailan Pugh from the North East Forest Alliance (NEFA). ‘Under the old rules for protecting koala habitat around 100 hectares of the Braemar State Forest would be protected but under the new rules only five feed trees per hectare will be kept,’ said Mr Pugh. ‘We’ve found koalas using about

19 feed trees per hectare and this will be a major reduction of food trees that will lead to a major reduction in this koala population. ‘Braemar encompasses core breeding habitat that is part of the nationally significant koala population previously identified across the nearby Carwong and Royal Camp State Forests. ‘Our appeals to the premier and environment minister to intervene and ensure that all koala high-use areas are identified and protected were counterproductive. Instead the government has decided to switch over to the new rules where koala high-use areas are no longer protected.’

Byron A&I mapped out ▶ p18

Join the rally NEFA are calling for a peaceful, family-friendly, public rally on Sunday 15 September from 10am at the turnoff to Rappville, 24km south of Casino on Summerland Way. ‘We want to celebrate the koalas in Braemar State Forest and encourage people to come and show their support for saving the koala from extinction,’ said Mr Pugh. Some koala supporters are planning to remain at the site for Monday or longer if logging has started to make clear their objection to destroying key koala habitat.

The Byron Shire Echo

The smoke has been settling in the valley like mist in the mornings as fires burn throughout NSW and Queensland. Icons such as Binna Burra Lodge in the Border Ranges have burnt to the ground as the cry from scientists builds, saying that we need to both reduce our global emissions as quickly as possible and start preparing for the serious impacts of climate change.

But what are those likely impacts? Several are happening at the moment, specifically the increased risk of drought and fires. ‘We’ve always had drought and fires’ is often the retort and you’re right, we have – but it is now happening against the background of a rapidly warming climate. This means the risks of drought, fires, and extreme flooding are increasing – that is, they are going to happen more often. ‘We are the driest inhabited continent on Earth, with around 77 per cent of the country classified as arid or semi-arid,’ Dr Joelle Gergis told Byron Shire councillors, staff, and members of the public last Friday in Mullumbimby. Dr Gergis, who is one of the Australian scientists contributing to the sixth IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ) report due out in 2021, describes herself as fairly centre-of-theroad when it comes to her approach to climate change but even she is saying, ‘We need to be talking about putting the brakes on as quickly as possible. Global emissions need to peak as soon as possible.’ Acting on the emergency

climate declaration passed last year, Byron councillors and staff had their first workshop on Friday to look at how to develop a climate emergency response strategy, Cr Cate Coorey told The Echo.

Time to prepare If we continue to move forward on a high greenhouse gas emissions trajectory, then it is predicted that on the NSW north coast we will experience an average increase in temperature of between 2.8 and 5 degrees by 2090. ‘That means that the number of warm days [on average in Brisbane] will increase from the current 12 days above 35 degrees a year to 55 days (possible range of 37–80 days) above 35 degrees by 2090,’ explained Dr Gergis. ‘This will lead to increasing heatwaves, increasing extreme rainfall events like ex-cyclone Debbie, and increasing droughts. Extreme heat and humidity are likely to make one of Australia’s largest population centres dangerously hot by the end of the century.’ Less predictable rainfall combined with longer droughts (those lovely sunny days) will have significant effects on food production because farmers’ crops will die without water and when it rains the deluges will also destroy crops. So the call to help drought- and floodaffected Australians is likely to become the norm rather than the exception. It will also affect the reliability and quality of the water supply because a warming climate will lead to less predictable rain patterns and more extreme weather events – think ex-cyclone Debbie. This will

be compounded by the fact that, according to CSIRO projections, tropical cyclones will become less frequent but more intense and drift further south. ‘This increases the cyclone risk of areas like northern NSW and SE Queensland,’ said Dr Gergis. ‘A warmer and wetter atmosphere leads to more intense rainfall, particularly when it is being fuelled by a warmer ocean surface.’ Dr Gergis, who lives in Byron Shire, pointed out that almost all of the water that fell during ex-cyclone Debbie fell in 24 hours, making this an unusual weather event for the north coast. ‘This made me think that this is a glimpse of the future. Think about ex-cyclone Debbie and think of that as the new average,’ she said.

Byron Shire vulnerable ‘Byron Shire has significant vulnerability and exposure to climate change. We are currently on track for the highest scenario of climate warming and in the absence of global action Byron Shire needs to address climatechange mitigation. ‘Under current predictions there will be a 23–40cm ocean rise by 2050. Sea-level rise (SLR) will make things worse, so planned retreat of vulnerable areas, flood risks, and the impact of droughts need to be planned for. ‘A combination of higher rainfall intensity and sea levels will amplify the distressing impacts of storm surges, resulting in coastal inundation and beach erosion on a scale that hasn’t been witnessed by modern Australian society,’ she said. ‘An increase in sea level means that low-lying areas become more prone to inundation during high-tide or storm-surge events. As the planet continues to warm and the sea level rises, our coastlines and low-lying areas become more exposed to inundation. ‘So events that used to be considered floods in our present climate will just be the new high tides in the future.’ Currently the approach to sea-level rise is based on the ‘bathtub’ approach; that is, the sea level rises by 1m and that is added to the current known flood level, says local hydrologist and former councillor Duncan Dey. ‘The shape of the river

opening and to a small extent of the coast near it enables more energy to enter the estuary when ocean levels at the opening are 1m higher than now.’ That means that as the sea level rises there will be increasing amounts of water at the opening and a bigger amount of storm energy transferring into the estuary. ‘When the ocean rises 1m, the surge height won’t add 1.5m at that location, it will add more, because more ocean energy reaches the location,’ explained Mr Dey. ‘When ocean levels rise high enough to top delicate coastal dunes and break into an estuary, the transfer of ocean energy into the estuary will likely raise flood levels far more than the simple SLR.’

But what does that mean for you? One way to get a basic understanding of what the effects might be on you is to consider what happens at a high tide or during a flood. Take that as the new normal and think about how you can adapt. Perhaps a house on stilts is the answer? In areas such as Belongil where Council has had a longstanding policy of coastal retreat it is time to make sure you house can be picked up by a crane and moved – or enjoy it while you can and prepare yourself for the fact that there will be a time when you say goodbye to it. The websites Coast Adapt www.coastadapt.com.au and Coastal Risk www.coastalrisk.com.au are good places to start to get an indication of what the impacts might be in your location. Remember that you need to look at the very high greenhouse-gas scenarios (RCP8.5) because unless there is significant, fast change to the levels of greenhouse gas being emitted then that is the outcome everyone needs to prepare for. You can look for sea-level rise, inundation, temperature, and rainfall information by entering your postcode or local government area (eg Byron). Areas that may be inundated with water at high tide by 2100 include the West Byron site, areas behind New City Road and Ann Street in Mullumbimby, The Fishermen’s Co-op in Brunswick Heads, and increasingly more areas of New Brighton and South Golden Beach.

Call to curtail growth plans for Byron Shire Aslan Shand Community groups have commended Byron Shire Council staff for incorporating many of the community’s concerns and wishes into the Draft (Urban) Residential Strategy released recently. President of Community Alliance for Byron Shire (CABS) Mathew O’Reilly and Brunswick Heads Progress Association member Patricia Warren are among those welcoming staff efforts. However, the impacts of intense growth on infrastructure and communities have led to a call from Ballina MP Tamara Smith ‘to reduce the designated dwelling requirements for Byron Shire in the North Coast Regional Plan and ensure that Byron Shire is exempt from the proposed Low Rise Medium Density Code’. Former Byron mayor Jan Barham supports the call, pointing out that the 25-year Far North Coast Strategy developed in 2006 defined Byron Shire’s additional

dwelling requirement at 2,600 by 2031. Eighty-one per cent of that housing allocation had been filled by 2011, leading to the additional allocation of 3,150 new dwellings in the 2016–2036 Regional Plan for Byron Shire, meaning there will be an extra 5,620 dwellings above the 2006 level. ‘Effectively the state government has doubled our dwelling allocation since 2006 but not analysed the infrastructure and other constraints and impacts,’ said Ms Barham. ‘The Draft Byron Residential Strategy fails to analyse the infrastructure feasibility of meeting the dwelling allocation targets that are prescribed in the North Coast Regional Plan. ‘Prior to adopting this strategy Council must consider the infrastructure capabilities for growth. There are major concerns about the ability for upgrade of sewerage plants, water capabilities, and road networks to meet growth requirements set by the state.

‘It would be irresponsible to plan growth that’s impossible to meet sustainably owing to infrastructure limitations.’ Mr O’Reilly has also highlighted concerns over the potential development of land next to Mullumbimby, saying that while this ‘is low-hanging fruit that can achieve housing results in the short term without huge new infrastructure expenditure, the elephant in the room… is climate change, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events. ‘Building on floodplains under these conditions does not seem like a wise idea. ‘The alternative long-term solution that Byron Shire and most of Australia will need to embrace is planned retreat,’ he said. ‘Planning for new population centres above rising sea levels will become a necessity rather than an option in future years.’ The value of Byron Shire as an iconic tourism destination, the concern that new residential housing will just

become more short-term holiday letting, adding to infrastructure and community integrity issues, has led MP Tamara Smith to call for a one- to two-year pause on residential development in Byron Shire. ‘Byron Shire plays an important role for the state with its iconic tourism destination status,’ she said. ‘This needs to be considered in regional growth targets; it’s unacceptable to demand additional dwelling growth that may impact on the attraction and feasibility of both residential amenity and tourism. ‘Increased development will add pressure on already stressed infrastructure but will also change the character of the area and may impact on the tourism desirability,’ she said. ‘What we need is a complete pause on residential development for 1–2 years while we sort out how to pay for the roads and parks and amenities that we currently need, let alone future growth.’

Locals will join family members of missing Belgian backpacker Théo Hayez for a sunset gathering to bring awareness to his disappearance next Sunday 15 September. With the teenager’s father Laurent Hayez arriving back in the Byron Shire on Fathers Day, the event has been organised to support him and Theo’s other loved ones. ‘Our hopeful intentions will be ignited by an Indigenous fire ceremony, alongside music and poetry,’ one of the organisers of the event, Jaclyn Scott, said. ‘We will also be joined by Loren O’Keeffe, founder and CEO of the Missing Persons Advocacy Network (MPAN), who will highlight the importance of community collaboration in missing persons cases.

Family-friendly ‘Please come along to this beautiful family-friendly event to surround Théo’s family with the love and support Byron Bay is renowned for.’ This event will be held on Clarkes beach, beginning at 5pm sharp. Attendees are asked to bring a candle. For further information email: theohayezmedia@ gmail.com or phone Sheri on 0433 700 511.

Byron Shire Council have confirmed that it is in the process of referring itself Department of Environment and Energy (DoEE) over the potential presence of the critically endangered Mitchell’s rainforest snail at the site. The DoEE told The Echo that, ‘The Department has not yet received a referral for the Byron Bay Bypass Project, but has been advised by the proponent that a referral is being prepared’. ‘The purpose of a referral is to determine whether a proposed action will need formal assessment and approval under the EPBC Act,’ said a spokesperson for the DoEE. The referral will be primarily in relation to stage two of the bypass construction and the areas of stage one that may be affected by the referral have been quarantined until the final

determination by the DoEE. Byron Council have said they will not progress with stage two until the DoEE have completed their assesment.

Public comment ‘All referrals are also published on the Department of the Environment and Energy’s website for a 10-business-day public comment period,’ said the spokesperson for the DoEE. ‘The Environment Protection Biodiversity and Conservation (EPBC) Act requires the decision on a referral to be made within 20 business days after the department has received the referral.’

Threatened species have increased by 40% in NSW since 2012 Eve Jeffery

More a day of mourning rather than celebration, National Threatened Species Day was remembered around the country last Saturday 7 September to raise awareness of plants and animals at risk of extinction. The Great Southern Land is home to more than 500,000 animal and plant species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. Over the last 200 years more than 100 animal and plant species have become extinct. In NSW alone there are close to 1,000 animal and plant species at risk of extinction. The Byron Shire has its share of threatened flora and fauna. The area is home to the critically endangered

Mitchell’s rainforest snail along with 28 species of native frogs including four listed as threatened in NSW: Pouched Frog, Wallum Froglet, Loveridge’s Frog and the Wallum Sedge Frog. Byron Shire Council says the area has one of the highest diversity of frogs in any one place in Australia. Unfortunately the cane toad, an introduced species that threatens native biodiversity, has established itself in the area.

Food source Byron also has the Byron Bay Dwarf Graminoid Clay Heath Community, an endangered ecological community in the Paterson Hill area, consisting of low-growing woody shrubs, grasses, and grass-like plants

with patches of taller shrubs and occasional larger trees. Fern-leaved Banksia, Hairy Bushpea, Kangaroo Grass and Broad Sword Sedge are some of its plant species. Clay Heath is a significant cultural landscape for the Bundjalung of Byron Bay Arakwal People who used fire to maintain the heathland as a vital source of bush foods including edible tubers. Clay Heath also provides a unique habitat to a range of threatened flora and fauna including the critically endangered Byron Bay Donkey Orchid. Statewide there are other concerns. Labor has condemned Premier Gladys Berejiklian and what they say are her prehistoric environmental policies, as new analysis shows 36 additional species have

become threatened since the Liberals and Nationals came to government. The number of critically endangered species has also increased from 72 in 2012, to 100 species in 2018 in NSW, a 40 per cent increase. Labor shadow minister for environment, Kate Washington MP, said a record number of species in NSW are being driven towards extinction by reckless Liberal National policies. ‘We won’t get a second chance to protect Australia’s wildlife,’ says Ms Washington. ‘If Gladys Berejiklian doesn’t stop her government’s war with the environment, NSW’s most vulnerable wildlife will go the way of the dinosaur.’

Second death following Fathers Day crash Paul Bibby The fatal Fathers Day crash in Mullumbimby has claimed another life, with an 80-yearold man dying in hospital last Thursday. The accident occurred on Mullumbimby Road about 2km out of town at around 11.45am, when a vehicle travelling west collided with a vehicle travelling east in

the east-bound lane. Emergency services attempted to revive a 79-year-old woman from the east-bound travelling vehicle, however she died at the scene. An 80-year-old man from the same vehicle was flown to Gold Coast University Hospital in a serious condition. The 80-year-old man died in hospital on Thursday 5

September 2019. A 28-year-old man from the west-bound travelling vehicle was flown to Gold Coast University Hospital in a serious condition. A brief will be prepared for the information of the Coroner and the circumstances surrounding the crash are currently being investigated by the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command.

One of the major issues on the Far North Coast is short-term holiday-letting (STHL) and researchers from Southern Cross University (SCU) are giving residents a chance to voice their opinions on the future of STHL in the region. A team led by Dr Tania von der Heidt from SCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Business and Tourism are investigating residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; views of STHL across all local government areas of the north coast. The survey is being delivered through a partnership with Destination North Coast and the results will assist Lismore City and other local councils with future decision making. The findings from this research will provide in-depth insights that can inform strategies, planning, policies, and regulation that can guide future management. The survey is open until 29 September.

Remembering Adrienne Sheppard Helen Armstrong Where do you begin to remember all the hats my sister wore during her time at Possum Creek and Mullumbimby? At the old schoolhouse in Possum Creek, Adrienne and her husband Michael established their rainforest nursery, which flourished and was a source of a great many friendships. On selling that business, which would then become Mullum Creek Nursery, they moved to Mullum. Just as Adrienne had in Possum Creek and Bangalow, she would ensconce herself in the community, with the same nurturing and inclusive manner that many of us knew. In 2004 there was devastating news that she had cancer. Vowing to beat it, she had us all running a marathon around Bangalow Oval raising funds for this crippling disease. And beat it she did. Adrienne had developed an interest in orchids and she was actively involved in the Brunswick Valley Landcare group and the Orchid Society, taking out some

prizes for her orchids in various shows. Adrienne joined Mullumbimby Grace Space, and worked tirelessly in the soup kitchen making gallons of pumpkin soup for those less fortunate, offering friendship and help to many more. She regularly visited the retirement village and hospital to give one of her famous foot massages to the elderly. Her association with the neighbourhood centre and involvement with First Nation

Groups led to studying at SCU, where she received honours in her degree Bachelor of Arts in Indigenous Studies. She was an active member in the Sisters for Reconciliation and the Cavanbah Reconciliation Group. In 2015 Adrienne was awarded Byron Shire’s Citizen of the Year; embarrassed by the fuss and a little disgruntled because she was not attending her stall at her usual ‘Invasion Day’ at Byron. It was a fitting acknowledgment of her contribution to so many marginalised members of our community. She was a strong advocate for justice and fairness. She was a keen bird watcher and she loved the rainforest. Her dream to own a bush block led to her eventually retiring to Moruya on the south coast, where she found her ‘little piece of heaven’. Adrienne will be greatly missed. She touched so many in so many ways, but she will live on in all of us. Family and friends are respectfully advised that after a private cremation on Thursday September 5, her ashes will be scattered in accordance with her wishes.

Cape Byron Marine Park nominations

Climate change is here, bringing with it an increase in extreme weather events and natural disasters such as fires and floods. The message from the Rural Fire Bridgade, SES, and the Red Cross is clear – be prepared. A series of workshops are being held across the Shire during Emergency Preparedness Week (Sept 23–30) to help you be just that. ‘You may be thinking that it’s overwhelming and there’s no way to be ready – but in reality, it’s simple,’ Red Cross CEO Judy Slatyer said. ‘By thinking about how you might react in an emergency, and what you might need, you are on the way to preparing an emergency plan that’s right for you and your loved ones. ‘And planning in your mind about how you would cope means you’ll be less stressed if you ever have to face an emergency.’ With storm season upon us, the SES will be holding a flood, storm, and tsunami awareness and preparation session on September 25 at the Byron Community Centre

The Cape Byron Marine Park are calling for nominations from interested local community members for membership of the Cape Byron Marine Park Advisory Committee. They are looking for members and alternates with skills, expertise, and knowledge in areas such as Aboriginal culture, fishing, local government, boating, tourism, marine conservation, and marine science to

from 12.30 till 1.30pm. ‘The SES will assist people to know their risk and help to mitigate it,’ the community’s centre’s community programs manager Cherie Bromley said. ‘They’ll talk through the different apps, mapping, and new technologies to help people become aware of what’s going on and to reduce the impact of a disaster.’ The next day, from 10.30am till 12.30pm, the Red Cross will hold a Recovery Basics workshop, which is for anyone who has lived through a disaster, supported someone in an emergency, or who intends to volunteer. Other disaster preparation workshops will be held across the Shire at the following times and locations: Monday 23 Sept Byron Community Centre 12–1pm. Wednesday 25 Sept Billinudgel Hotel 5–6pm. Thursday 26 Sept Byron Community Centre 4–5pm. The Main Arm Fire brigade will also be holding a Firewise session on Saturday September 21 between 2 and 4pm at Kohinur Hall.

ensure the wide range of community values can be considered. Members of the community with relevant skills and experience are encouraged to apply. Nominations close 22 September 2019.

Measles diagnosed in local child The Northern NSW Local Health District is urging people to watch for measles symptoms after a Byron Bay child was diagnosed with the infectious disease this week. The spokesperson said anyone who was in the following locations at the same time as the child should watch out for measles symptoms until September 20: Byron Bay and/or Suffolk Park shopping areas during the day on Sunday September 1 (Fathers Day); Harvest Deli & Bakery in Newrybar between about 10am and 11am on September 1; Elements Resort and Spa, Byron Bay, between around

5.30pm and 7pm on Sunday 1 September (Fathers Day). The locations do not pose an ongoing risk. ‘It can take up to 18 days for symptoms to appear following exposure,’ Mr Corben, director of the North Coast Public Health Unit said. ‘Symptoms include fever, sore eyes, and a cough followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash that spreads from the head to the rest of the body. ‘Anyone who develops symptoms of measles should arrange to see their GP and limit their exposure to others, including patients at the GP clinic.’

dşưĕǼ ōĶŊĕ ǔſĕǼ goes out without fuel. – Mikhail Lermontov

A case based on accusations of alleged bullying and underpayment of wages to staff by the Byron Community Centre (BCC) has been settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. Helen Hamilton, president of the Byron Community Centre, told The Echo that the case is ‘subject to a confidentiality clause, and therefore we are not able to discuss any details’. The individual bringing the case is also subject to a non-disclosure agreement. Ms Hamilton has reassured the community that the payout to the previous employee will not ‘impact on available funds or service delivery’.

‘The BCC is proud of the staff and the work they do. All staff are paid under the appropriate award,’ she said. ‘The BCC enjoys a very positive workplace culture. Our staff and management work tirelessly to keep our vibrant centre operating at a very high level. This has been displayed most recently during the transition from our highly regarded previous GM Paul Spooner to our new GM Louise O’Connell. ‘The BCC is a fabulous asset to Byron Bay. We are excited by the potential of our new GM, the management team, the staff, and volunteers to refresh the vision for the Centre and continue to be the beating heart of this community.’

Shakespeare in The Shire

Shelby and Isabelle in The Dream. Photo Cerise Gollogly A group of talented young performers from Mullumbimby High are collaborating with six local artists to present a vibrant and playful adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Considered among the most lyrical of Shakespeare’s plays, and as relevant in today’s world as ever, The Dream invites the audience on a mystical and heartfelt adventure. Exploring different levels of the real, characters encounter the mystery of love and imagination, the secret world of the fairies, and the mystery of experience with another world, that of being in a play. Their comic struggles with the complexity of experience, the rational and irrational, the

magic and the mundane will have you laughing in your seats and wondering about the nature of being. According to organisers The Dream is conceived as an immersive and entertaining experience for the audience, is a celebration of love and innocence, and is a delight for all ages. With three performances in the Byron Theatre across two days, Thursday 12 and Friday 13 September, the ensemble invites all who dare to dream to arrive at 6.30pm for a 7.30pm show with a matinee on Friday at 12.30pm. Tickets are available at the Byron Theatre or online at their website. $25 adult/$ 20 concession, supper included.

Mullum gets smoked Next Monday September 16 Mullumbimby will be smokin’ and it won’ be the green stuff for which it is so famous. The smoke, which is non-toxic, non-staining, and odourless, will be pumped into a public sewer or personhole to find out about where stormwater may be incorrectly entering sewer pipes. Byron Shire Council’s manager of utilities Mr Cameron Clark said identifying and resolving leaks, defects, and incorrectly installed stormwater connections into Council’s sewer mains will help reduce incidences of flooding or overflow on private property. Bucket testing on sewer manholes to test the integrity of seals and identify points where

stormwater may be entering the sewer system will also be conducted. Council’s sewer and stormwater mains in Mullumbimby were recently pressure cleaned and inspected for leaks and defects via CCTV inspection. The smoke and bucket testing will conclude the assessments on this infrastructure and will provide Council with a comprehensive understanding of the condition of its sewer and stormwater assets. For information on the Reducing Stormwater in Sewer project in Mullumbimby go online at: www.yoursaybyronshire. com.au/reducingstormwater-in-the-sewermullumbimby or call Mr Clark on 6685 9306.

Byron Council has been awarded $607,530 from round four of the Australian Government’s Bridges Renewal Program. ‘South Arm Bridge is a major thoroughfare requiring extensive structural upgrades and we are very

the long term,’ Byron Shire Council’s mayor Simon Richardson said. The council will match the

government funding bringing the total for restoration funding to just over $1.2m. ‘Council understands the importance of retaining the heritage features of this bridge and has worked with consulting designers and engineers to retain the old-timber heritage look and feel of this historic bridge as much as possible,’ said Mr Richardson. Mostly it will be single lane closures with possible short periods where full closures will be required.

A report to come before next week’s Public Art Panel meeting sets out a range of new guidelines for the future commissioning and construction of public art installations, many of which have been drawn directly from the illfated experience of the Dong. ‘It’s been driven by learnings taken from The Lighthouse project, which has given us lived experience of some of the pitfalls in the public art space, particularly where the community has strong opinions,’ the art panel’s chair, Sarah Ndiaye said. ‘Staff have done a thorough examination of best practice in other areas across Australia, a literature review of commissioning both in regional and metro areas, and comparisons with other NSW councils. ‘As chair I will be listening to feedback from the panel, but in principle this is what we have been asking for and I look forward to integrating some

The Lighthouse project is set to go. Photo David Lowe of the key learning experiences into the revised document.’ Among the suggested new guidelines is a rule stating that local artists should be given greater weighting when considering expressions of interest for future projects.

The selection of a Melbourne artist for the Bayshore Drive project drew significant criticism from some residents, with a number suggesting a work from a local artist would have been more in keeping with the Shire’s character. The need to take note of views such as these was recognised in a recommendation that the guidelines include greater scope for community consultation when deciding on major public art projects, particularly in prominent locations. The report also recommends more rigour when it comes to ensuring that what an artist delivers is in keeping with what is promised in the original concept. This would be done through regular reporting requirements and a commissioning contract based on a model developed by the Arts Law Centre of Australia. Cr Ndiaye said she believed the proposed guidelines were workable . ‘Many I believe are crucial to improving our processes in relation to integrating public art into the community successfully,’ she said. The full list of proposed guidelines can be viewed at: https://byron. infocouncil.biz/Open/2019/09/ PAP_12092019_AGN_1039_AT_WEB.htm.

ſĕ !şƖŕĈĶō ōşĈŊĕĎ ĶŕƐş ëżżſşưĶŕī ōëſīĕ !şŔŔƖŕĶƐƷ ĶŕĶƐĶëƐĶưĕƆ īĕƐ ſƖſëō ĈëćĶŕ ĎĕưĕōşżŔĕŕƐƆȃ Paul Bibby Staff at Byron Council locked themselves into recommending the approval of a seven-cabin tourism development in Wilsons Creek by approving a similar development earlier in the year, the president of the Community Alliance for Byron Shire (CABS) says. The proposal for seven tourist cabins at Montecollum Road, Wilsons Creek, was ultimately rejected by Byron Council at its August planning and development meeting.

Dangers of delegated authority However, staff had recommended approval of the proposal. CABS president Matthew O’Reilly believes staff made this decision because they were guided by an ‘undesirable precedent’ they themselves had set when they approved a development application (DA) at 725 Myocum Road, Myocum, under delegated authority. ‘The approval of seven cabins should never have been made under delegated authority as it appears to have set an undesirable precedent that councillors are now expected to comply with,’ Mr O’Reilly said.

‘It was the first ever DA in Byron Shire to approve more than six cabins. ‘Up until that point there had never been more than six rural tourist cabins approved on one property.’

Multiple strategies – ƆƐëǔ ĈşŕĪƖƆĶşŕȃ Part of the reason for the approval at Myocum Rd appears to have been a lack of clarity in Council’s planning policies in relation to rural cabins. While the Byron Rural Settlement Strategy 1998 (BRSS) and the Byron Local Environment Plan 1988 (LEP) both stipulated that a maximum of six cabins was permitted in rural-zoned areas, the Byron LEP 2014 and the Byron Development Control Plan 2014 (DCP) are silent on a maximum number of cabins. The latter documents instead refer to a maximum number of bedrooms. Mr O’Reilly said he believed the omission of a maximum number of cabins was a drafting error on the part of Council staff that needed to be rectified. ‘I think they just made an error in the drafting and left it out,’ Mr O’Reilly said. ‘These things happen, it’s human error. But I think it needs to be fixed and will

hopefully be fixed.’ Further complicating the issue is the fact that, at least in some parts of the Shire, the BRSS and the 1998 LEP still appear to apply, while in other areas there are overlapping policies that must be considered when determining applications.

Assessed on merit When asked about this situation and the role of the Myocum Road precedent, Council’s chief planner Shannon Burt said all development applications were assessed on their merits, including 58 Montecollum Road. ‘Council has the tricky role, particularly in rural parts of the Shire, of trying to balance people’s desire for no development against the rights of landowners to develop their properties,’ Ms Burt said. ‘To try to make it clear to people what the rules and regulations are we are now reviewing the planning controls for cabins and other dwellings on rural land to eliminate confusion in the Local Environment Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP). ‘We are hoping to present this review and recommendations back to Council early next year.’

ë ȡǠǤŊ ĪƖŕĎĶŕī ćşşƆƐ Byron Shire Council’s annual Community Initiatives Program has delivered a total of $37,000 funding to nine community projects. Byron Shire mayorß Simon Richardson said we have a wonderfully creative community. ‘There are so many motivated groups who are driving and delivering fantastic initiatives across the Shire and this funding program is one practical way Council can make a financial contribution that can make a real difference.’

Grants awarded This year, grants of $5,000 have been awarded to the Japanese Youth Drum Project, Bangalow Koalas, Seabin Foundation, Byron Youth Theatre, Big Scrub Landcare, Shedding Community Workshop, and Sprung! Integrated Dance Theatre. In addition, grants of $1,000 were awarded to the Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce towards the cost of road closures and waste management for this year’s Mullum2Bruns Paddle, and to the Bangalow Lions Club to cover similar costs for the Bangalow Billycart Derby.

Delusional government in charge The Byron Shire Echo Volume 34 #14 • September 11, 2019

Failing the drug test As a parent it is hard at times not to fall into the trap of authoritarianism. It always seems like a simpler, clearer way forward – I’m the boss and I want you till do what I tell you for your own good. You’ve got to the count of three – I know best! That is where papa ScoMo is going wrong. Rather than looking at the evidence of whether or not drug-testing recipients of welfare such as Newstart and the youth allowance will actually help people, he is sitting on his moral high horse and dictating his wishes based on his personal and religious beliefs. According to the ABC and RMIT fact sheet that has tested the theory of ScoMo and Social Services Minister Christian Porter that drug testing will help recipients get off drugs it is ‘wishful thinking’ (https://ab.co/2k8TP0G). ‘Of six reports put forward by Mr Porter’s office in defence of his claim, only two specifically relate to drug testing of welfare recipients and both strongly reject it as a viable strategy,’ says the ABC report. ‘The other four relate to the drug treatment of offenders in the criminal justice system. ‘Experts say that, rather than lots of evidence, there is no evidence, here or overseas, to show that mandatory testing will help unemployed drug addicts receive treatment and find jobs.’ This is just another dangerous arm of the Pentecostal, puritanical war on drugs that has led to the deaths of millions, funded the sex slave and illegal arms trade, and destroyed communities worldwide. Rather than being subject to the religious and moral whims of government ministers, the approach to drugs and drug policy should take into account the reality of drug use, behaviour, and outcomes. Not only do many people like to take drugs for fun and relaxation – and happily hold down jobs, have families and are vital members of their communities (see Friday night beers) – but people who have drug and alcohol problems need treatment and help. Drug addiction is a health issue and should be treated as part of the health portfolio and funded to give real and demonstrably effective treatment and interventions. Continuing the war on drugs by singling out the most needy and vulnerable people in our society is a surefire way to further marginalise people, stop them receiving benefits, and drive them into further crime. If you need further clarification on the failure of the war on drugs check out Why The War on Drugs is a Huge Failure by YouTube site Kurzgesagt www.youtube.com/ watch?v=wJUXLqNHCaI. It is a simple explanation – and as it takes into account free-market economics one hopes even our fair prime minster ScoMo could potentially understand it! Aslan Shand, acting editor

out dancing in the streets. This is the delusional bubble in which ScoMo and Josh reside. The quest for surplus is now more than a holy grail – it has become an immutable necessity, right up there with religious protection and coalpowered energy. And because it has become untouchable, the real possibilities for getting out of the economic morass have been unceremoniously discarded. Stimulus measures for the very poor, such as the victims of Newstart? Too expensive, and anyway, if they have a go they will get a go – to a paupers grave, perhaps, but those are the breaks. Beefing up infrastructure? We’re doing quite enough of that, thank you – just wait for next year, or the year after that, or perhaps the following decade. And the point is that none of this is our fault – it’s all about those bloody headwinds, or the international trade war (but don’t mention Donald Trump started them) or the drought (but don’t mention climate change), or the states (but don’t mention that that it’s only their spending that it is keeping us precariously in the black) or the Reserve Bank (but ignore the fact that it has been pleading for months with the government to do something, anything, constructive). And if none of that works, we’ll just blame Anthony Albanese – after all, he is responsible for just about everything. He must be – we in the government certainly aren’t. Delusional, obviously – but ScoMo is receiving encouragement from the usual impeccable sources in the Murdoch media. The Australian’s economic autocrat, Judith Sloan (She Who Must Be Obeyed), assures us that there is no crisis, no catastrophe – a mishap, perhaps, but it’s only a matter of holding the line, staying the course, muddling through, and eventually the casualties will decrease. They almost certainly won’t – let’s face it, it hasn’t worked in the past. But we can put up with a bit of collateral damage in the cause of ideological purity. Of course if those figures had emerged under a Labor government, Sloan and her troops would have been apocalyptic with self-righteous fury. But hey, we have moved on. Why let the facts spoil a good rant?

Has anyone bothered to look through the sheeting around the ‘new’ Railway Park in Byron Bay? I agree with David Hallet in last week’s Echo: it is a monstrosity of concrete. Our green Council has the gall to call itself ecological, while destroying trees, the Byron Eco Centre, grassy areas, and replacing it all with massive amounts of concrete! It’s bad enough that they let the ‘devilopers’ get their way, as Hans Lovejoy says ‘they [council] are in the pockets of the developers’. We could follow the brave citizens of Hong Kong and resist this takeover of our beloved Shire. What will be the final insult? When will be Byron’s Adani moment? Noah Yamore Mullum

Soil tested I was at Byron Hospital and looked out the window and over the road is The Farm. Before The Farm was established the other farm was flowers. A friend of mine told me that when he worked on the flower farm they used to use lots of chemicals. Now I’m wondering if the owners of the current farm had the soil tested for the residue of said chemicals? If not why not? The produce is supposed to be organic. Paul Brecht Evans Head

Joke at your expense On a beautiful Sunday in the not-too-distant past I was down at Tyagarah having a

picnic and relaxing with my girlfriend when she jokingly said that I don’t have the ‘balls’ to be naked at the beach. Never shy of a fair challenge I took off my swim trunks and was greeted with giggles of defeat from her. Momentarily basking in my glory, I let the winter wind whistle over my body. Within a few minutes two police officers were walking over to my umbrella. Before they arrived I pulled my shorts back on. Apologising and explaining my story to them, I was received with futile argument and belittled, made to feel stupid that I was not completely in the clothesoptional area and served with a $110 fine as 30 metres to my right beachgoers are naked, the officer saying, ‘It’s an expensive joke’. With that punchline ringing in my ears, I couldn’t help but feel a ripple of totalitarian irony run down my spine. To think that at a well-known nudist beach there is a middl-aged to elderly aged

NORPA PRESENTS

man observing me laying on an uncrowded beach from the dunes/bushes (as he said he was), approaching me on the beach with a camera strapped to his chest and harassing me for my details. (That was the police officer not a pervert.*) The real expensive joke is to know that our taxpayer dollars are going to pay these blokes to mill about in the dunes on a Sunday until someone pops a nipple on an uncrowded and wellknown clothes-optional beach! Meanwhile any other day at Wategos you’ll see more nipples than at a Myocum dairy farm. I do realise that it is to prevent perverse behaviour and harassment. But it’s a well-known nudist beach, with no-one near me but my partner, who had her togs on. I guess I was just in the wrong place at the right place...? *Disclaimer: If you are being harassed or notice perverse behaviour at the beach or anywhere do call the police.

People still have a lot to say about the bypass in with what my informant saw too. When I went back to confirm a detail the worker had clammed up. It seems that not only the lead contractors Hazell Bros but the subcontractors too are sworn to silence with an appropriate clause in their contracts. A clue came earlier last year when someone indirectly connected to Council staff suggested to Butler Street residents that they would get their land rezoned ‘commercial’ if they toed the line. What I see ahead is that the bypass will no longer be a bypass; it will become an extension of the CBD. Some bright spark will then inevitably move to get Jonson Street made into a

Q Another sign that the Byron bypass has nothing to do with traffic problems and everything to do with shadowy real estate sharks has come to light. Acting on information supplied by a resident I cunningly disguised myself as an ageing hippy dipshit and got into a chat with an employee of the site electrical contractor. He confirmed that not only one but quite a few large electrical cables have been laid under Butler Street, designed to carry three-phase power (commercial) and measuring 240 Noz, by which he must have meant circumference. His hands described a cable about 75 mm thick, which fits

pedestrian mall, meaning that the ‘bypass’ will actually become the main drag traffic-wise, and that calls will soon arise to create a real bypass farther out of town, which will further compromise the Cumbebin swamp and so on. These real estate types and their ex-politician pimps (the people who really give the orders in this Shire) certainly plan that far ahead. With Simon at the helm they’ve got an excellent chance of success. Fast Buck$ Coorabell Q Warren Kennedy (Echo 28/8) poses the question ‘What would be the effect of the Mitchell’s rainforest snail becoming extinct?’, and alleges that it won’t cause climate change to get worse. His allegation is just a punt. The snail forages on the forest floor’s leaf litter, releasing the nutrients into the soil for the forest to grow (carbon capture and storage and oxygen supply). Its shell is a rare source of forest calcium, needed by certain bird species for the formation of their egg shells (pollination, forest

seed distribution, and forest pest management). It is also a wildlife food source down towards the bottom of the food chain helping to ensure a healthy forest. Whatever may take up some of the snail’s environmental input, diversity of species provides a robust forest defence to disease, pests, fire, and flood, whereas forests reduced to a sparse amount of species are open to terminal collapse from single events. The ripples of impacts are unknown. The callous disregard for knowledge of actual impacts is a hallmark of the current unsubstantiated and placebo environmental management techniques (like the biodiversity offset legislation), that now threaten even human life on this planet, not just the impacts of climate change. Our present system of environmental management is unsustainable. That means it ends. How it ends is the question – either ongoing collapse of environmental systems, or we move to sustaining environmental systems, that in turn sustain life on this planet. Time is

over for taking punts with our environment, and our future. I urge everyone to join in with the world’s students who have called a global strike on 20 September, and for our generation to do whatever is needed to hand on a functioning planet to these young people who will inherit the mess we have created. John Lazarus Byron Bay Q It’s people like Warren Kennedy (letters August 28) who are partly responsible for the rapidly approaching extinction of humanity when he asks what effect the extinction of the Mitchell’s rainforest snail will have. Extinct species are not simply replaced, neither are extinctions normal. Humanity has hunted all the megafauna species across the world into extinction during the last 50,000 years and is now exterminating all the smaller animals as well. Every animal and plant are populations of microscopic

organisms interacting with each other and creating the planet’s organs, the living atmosphere, the living landscape, and the living oceans. Together they have been responsible for creating the living surface of our planet. The planet’s organs have been devastated by humanity’s aggressive behaviour. Massive extermination of the forested planetary life support systems has added 40 per cent of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere responsible for climate change. This has caused a 10 per cent increase in evaporation. Because of this NASA scientists have predicted worldwide freshwater shortages within seven years and runaway global climate change heating the planet to temperatures not seen in millions of years. Everything is intimately connected, and we will all soon directly observe the folly of our thoughts and actions. Gary Opit Brunswick Heads

CHESS

Ian Rogers

Since Vladimir Kramnik retired from classical chess in January he has been in high demand at exhibition events but his latest project, coaching a group of Indian youngsters, has been his most significant activity to date. Last month in Chens Sur Leman, France – close to his home in Geneva – Kramnik worked for ten days with six talented Indian youngsters aged between 13 and 16. Four were already Grandmasters and two ‘mere’ International Masters. The training camp was organised by Sagar Shah and Amruta Mokal, the dynamos behind ChessBase India, and made possible by the massive sponsorship these two secured from Indian internet provider Microsense. (Chess sponsorship in India is booming; 15-year-old Nahl Sarin this week securing a deal worth $150,000+ per year with an organic dairy company.) The first five days of the camp were devoted to endgame play, with Kramnik admitting that before tournament games – a time when most players were testing out their opening variations – he used to revise tricky endgames. The second half of the camp involved general middlegame play and how to prepare for a specific opponent by noting their style as much as their opening choices. Pressure was a constant theme in the games Kramnik demonstrated, including methods of keeping a game alive when you have little or no advantage. He emphasised giving

your opponent a chance to go wrong by strengthening your position rather than attempting direct threats. When choosing openings, Kramnik stressed looking at the long term and choosing tried and tested lines rather than surprise weapons. Thus if an opening like the Sicilian Defence is regularly played at the top level, it is likely to be a good choice for study, whereas there must be good reasons why elite Grandmasters no longer trust, say, the French Defence, even though it may score well at lower levels. As well as chess questions, Kramnik also tested his charges with a number of logic puzzles, one of which went as follows: You have two bags containing 100 coins each. Make just one move so that one bag has exactly double the number of coins as the other bag. You may not add, discard or cut coins. The students, many of whom had studied under Indian super-coach Ramachandran Ramesh, were universally positive about the camp. Goa IM Leon Mendonca, one of many young talents in India who have moved to Chennai to study under Ramesh, explained, ‘I basically learnt how a World Champion thinks, how he improves upon his game. While chess is a very complicated game, Kramnik somehow made it look simple. He showed examples of his games so that he could explain his thinking and help us understand chess better’. Q Logic puzzle solution: Place one bag inside the other.

Q All the abuse about the Dong sculpture should be directed at the councillors in charge of approving this failed and costly project, not the artist. The bureaucratic response from Councillor Ndiaye reflects a total lack of accountability in a council that has wasted the ratepayers’ money. Ideology rules without any regard for common sense or respect for ratepayers’ funds. The plan to sell the sculpture parts again compounds the embarrassment this council has brought to the Byron community. Whoever was ultimately responsible for this debacle should resign as it happens in the real world when we fail to deliver a minimum level of competence in our work. This should be followed by a public apology to the artist. Carlos Gutierrez Myocum Q So the philistines and their troll mates on social media have won and Byron Shire, once a beacon of tolerance for diversity, alternative thinking, and cultural

awareness takes another turn in its inexorable spin towards the bottom. Byron’s Lighthouse sculpture is to be dismembered and sold for scrap. As if abusing the artist while he constructed it wasn’t enough! Firstly, I strongly urge Corey Thomas to assert his moral rights as the author of this artwork and take legal action to immediately prevent and prohibit the premeditated destruction of his original production. Secondly, if another site can’t be found for the work intact I’d urge that it be stored until its real value can be assessed and the lunatics cease to have control of the asylum. Did someone say DADA!? The whole point of public art is precisely to invite a reaction. When Jackson Pollock’s seminal painting Blue Poles met with similar outrage it took a politician of the stature of Gough Whitlam to push back against the barbarian hordes of the gutter press and endow this country with an art object now worth many hundreds

of times its original purchase price. Alas our Byron councillors appear to be made of lighter metal (aluminium perhaps?). Council may have ownership of the physical structure but they don’t own the intellectual property. Irrespective of what people think of the sculpture (and so what if cognitively challenged people attempt to scale it) nobody has the right to pull the thing to pieces without authority from the artist himself. And oh well, yes lucky us, we still have the Big Prawn, the Big Rusting Surfboard, the Big Red MotorBike, and the Modest Wooden Pelican. Paul Davies Suffolk Park Q Oliver Dunne ‘beseeches’ Council to give the Dong a stay of decommissioning. I hope they do not. Oliver argues by analogy with other formerly reviled pieces of art, now revered, to give the Dong time for us ‘philistines’ to awake to its artistic worth. He asserts its merit but fails to demonstrate it by any reference to the Dong’s attributes.

His argument is sentiment, not reason. The essence of the Dong’s failure is that a sculpture, a threedimensional structure, could never capture the ‘negative space’ idea of the artist’s sketch. Oliver Dunn’s analogy with the Eiffel Tower is spurious. There the structure is the purpose. By contrast the idea with the Dong was that a silhouette image of the lighthouse would be magically created in empty space by a flight of birds. As an idea, as a sketch it is appealing, lovely. But (and it’s a big but) the unavoidable structure necessary to transpose the idea from two to three dimensions voids the idea. The negative, empty space in which the magical image would have floated is instead a clutter of unattractive, unavoidable structure. The artist should have realised this. The whole episode is sad. It is doubly so that he has been reviled on anti-social media – and I would like to decommission that American poison. Adrian Gattenhof Mullumbimby

Om shanti shanti shanti – I wish you peace in body, speech, and mind Here’s a ceremony for the shift from human consciousness to be earthling connected consciousness. From the mother Earth, through us her children and onto the Great Spirit beyond, may the life force and healing energy of the air, water, and earth that we share flow through our bodies to heal our hearts and minds with love for all of creation. Living the biological molecular experience as this flow of consciousness releases the human to be an earthling. My distinction is that the human feels separated and competitive with themselves

and everything else around them. Fight or flight mentality. An earthling lives as the connected global flow of air, water, and earth. Awareness of the billions of years old that these molecules are and how connected they make this whole planetary experience. We flow about three or four kg of air, water, and earth through us every few minutes, hours, and days. When we shift this understanding from the mind knowing this truth to bring this to your heart and begin to live as the co-creator of your life. Try using the ritual when you eat your meals. Or if you feel separate or confronted by

some parts of your life. Try a month’s worth to break your old separate mind that only ate because you were bored or it was time to eat. Now you can eat with a spiritual connection to the planetary oneness consciousness. Love all ways. Love always. This realisation and tool for earthling consciousness allows you to use your life experience as a co-creator of this planetary experience. Instead of the outside world feeling separated and competitive the earthling sees the connectivity and begins to live in the flow of chaos with love and not fear. We, the expression of the planetary experience, can only heal with love instead of all the other separating emotions. This change in the way we, you, act and react to your life experiences from now on can come from the fear-based

human or the connected earthling. This is our, your, choice in every moment of your life. The full ritual: From the mother Earth, through us her children and onto the Great Spirit beyond may the life force and healing energy of the air, water, and earth we share come into our bodies and fill our hearts and minds with love for all of the creation. From the one, through the one, and to the one we know and love the Great Spirit’s guidance with our gentlest breath and our deepest meditation. Om Shanti shanti shanti. That’s the whole awakening that I believe humanity needs to awaken to itself in Oneness. Thanks for the getting to the bottom of a long story. If you did. Jay Carney Mullumbimby

Nat Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church of the Open Sky Eve Jeffery

SATURDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER 2019

With a blaze of groundbreaking performances and a swag of titles claimed from all over the world to his name, Australian world champion surfer Nat Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventieth birthday inspired some reflection on the waves and characters that have marked his spectacular career. Last week Nat spoke to The Echo about his new book Church of the Open Sky, which explores what it means to be a surfer, with a collection of true stories of his surfing life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the friends, foes and heroes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s met along the way. Young says he was lucky to travel the surfing world since I want more surfers in the he was 15 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A lot of the world because it will make the surfers in COTOS, the ones who lived in Byron from 68 till 79 and ĆąĹ&#x;ĹżĹ?Ä&#x17D; ĂŤČ&#x17E;Ä&#x2021;Ä&#x2022;Ć?Ć?Ä&#x2022;Ĺż ĹźĹ?ĂŤÄ&#x2C6;Ä&#x2022; Č&#x201A;Č&#x201A;Č&#x201A; !Ĺ&#x;Ĺ&#x201D;ĹźĂŤĹżÄ&#x2022;Ä&#x17D; Nat Young relaxing on land onÂ the weekend. others who came for short stays, Ć?Ĺ&#x; Ä&#x2022;Ć°Ä&#x2022;ĹżĆˇĹ&#x;Ĺ&#x2022;Ä&#x2022; Ä&#x2022;Ĺ?Ć&#x2020;Ä&#x2022; Ć&#x2020;Ć&#x2013;ĹżÄŞÄ&#x2022;ĹżĆ&#x2020;Č&#x17E;Ć?ĹżÄ&#x2022;ĂŤÄ&#x17D; Photo Ti Deaton-Young have been forgotten and yet their Ĺ?ÄśÄŤÄ˛Ć?Ĺ?ĆˇČ&#x17E;Ĺ&#x;Ĺ&#x2022; Ć?Ä˛Ä&#x2022; Ä&#x2022;ĂŤĹżĆ?Ä˛Č&#x201A; contribution to surf is immense,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Young says he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help says Young. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Russell Hughes, thinking about what will happen to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I am lucky enough to still have my Garth Murphy, Bill Engler, Rusty Miller, health I have never stopped surfing and our grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bobby Brown, Kevin Plattâ&#x20AC;Ś children.

This was the tribe that joining hands, is our tribal tradition, it is our way of saying respect for a life power to have their priorities right. I was a part of in Byron when there lived as a dedicated surfer it has always â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want more surfers in the world were only a handful of dedicated surfbeen done in Hawaii and all Polynesia.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because it will make the world a better ers living in Byron.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Young says there are some aspects place, make more people conscious of Young has written the book for of surfing that he has left behind for the need to protect our planet, climate the surf tribe who are interested in good. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Getting the shits because there change.

Yes, the food’s good – a personal favourite is the new Good Morning Salad (all different sorts of green vegetables with an absolutely fantastic chili jam – healthy and really delicious). Chef Michael Collins trained under renowned chef David Thompson. And yes, the coffee is good. And yes, there’s always a groove going on in the background. Unlike some cashed-up owners who wouldn’t think of touching their cafe without an interior designer on hand, the ‘boys’ have literally built the business by hand over the last decade, including laying the tiles (black granite of course) out the front. And you get a sense that they feel that the industry, as well as the venue, is in their blood. ‘There’s a great food history in both of us that comes out in the business,’ says Trent. ‘I come from a very long tradition

of hospitality; when my great-grandfather moved to Sydney he opened an oyster bar called Victor’s on King Street, which my grandfather took over when the time came. ‘Michael came from New Zealand, where he also grew up in the industry through his father’s restaurants. We met in Sydney about 20 years ago. I think we clicked with each other as we both wanted to be professionals in the industry. I think you can sense that essence in someone, whether they are just doing it as a job or whether it is part of them.’ Michael and Trent. The Rock & Roll attitude seems to extend to the hiring process: ‘When you meet someone you just know they’re the right kind of people; you can sense the same sort of essence in them,’ he says. ‘We really want to thank all our staff, past and present, and all our clientele for the support.’ And, just to prove their dedication to the industry, they aren’t taking a break after the first decade; instead they’re making a ‘comeback’ with the very popular night-times Tim, Jac and Emma. starting up again from this Thursday. ‘We are very excited to move into this next phase of Rock & Roll. We have learnt a lot over the last 10 years and are ready to change things up a bit. We have created an awesome venue. Now fully licensed, along with our regular nights, we will be hosting Warm Up, a fundraiser for the Mullum Neighbourhood Centre every month.’ If their rocking Warm Up gig last month that packed 300 people in is anything to go by, this new phase is something more to look forward to.

Good Life

A taste of Italy in Bangalow By S Haslam

Bangalow is a great place to meet friends for dinner, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 20 minutes from everywhere, unless of course youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from Bangalow in which case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to have a place like The Italian Diner in your town. And the feeling seems to be reciprocated, with owners Peter and Camille Timbs and family living just four minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; walk from work and loving the Bangalow vibe. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We had two restaurants in the Brisbane CBD before we moved here. They were quite frantic, but here in Bangalow itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slower pace and we can spend more time with the customers; we really enjoy that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Peter. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The best thing about living and working in Bangalow is that when we moved we felt part of the community straightaway. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for your health in this industry, when you work when everyone else is socialisingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Unusually, Peter has combined working in the media with hospitality. His last gig was on breakfast radio at MMM in Brisbane and freelancing for Who magazine and New Idea. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Before that I worked in the media for 15 years in Sydney doing morning TV and radio, which meant I had the rest of the day to work in hospitality.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; During our visit to The Italian Diner we felt we could relax and just have a good time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d recommend starting with the beautifully smoky arancini balls, or the

beef carpaccio. The wine list is simple but balanced, with many Italian varieties and 90 per cent of them are by the glass. Peter told us, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;At the moment we are offering an amazing Fiano, made in Australia although it is an Italian grape

variety. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fuller bodied white wine, a bit like a chardonnay, but not buttery or oaky. We also have a Sardinian Vermentino, made from older vines, with a mineral character that goes well with any seafood.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And indeed the wine went beautifully with Spaghetti Vongole, made with white wine, garlic, and clams, and a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;market fishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; special that has proved so popular itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now made it to the menu permanently: Aqua Pazza (literally it means crazy water). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fresh and clean way of cooking fish, poached in shaved fennel, olives, cherry tomatoes, and fish stock (originally in Italy it was cooked in seawater). They say that you should only order dessert when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something special. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d recommend the chocolate mousse dessert, or my choice of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;deconstructedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strawberry panna cotta with raspberry compote and biscotti crumb. Peter orders local produce where possible, including the Brookieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mac macadamia nut liqueur, which gives a local twist to the traditional Italian affogato. If you like the idea of al fresco Italian lunches overlooking the town â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in spring who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this month sees a special $29 pasta-and-wine lunch with a pinot gris or a montepulciano, perfect for enjoying a taste of Italy in Bangalow. The Italian Diner. 37 Byron St, Bangalow. Open Wedâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sun for lunch and dinner. theitaliandiner.com.au ph 6687 2247.

Signs of recovery The property market showing signs on recovery. According to a recent article on the ABC News website, while the value of new loans to owner-occupiers dropped 8.3 percent in the past year, they lifted 5.3 percent in July. Loans for investment properties dropped 20.4 per cent over the past year but rose 8.3% in July. The rise on borrowing activity aligns with a rebound in property prices and auction clearing rates. The figures show there was a strong demand from people applying for mortgages to buy their first home. In fact according to Sally Tinsdall, research director of online comparison website

¨Ĳĕ ǔ īƖſĕƆ ƆĲşƱ ƐĲĕſĕ ƱëƆ ë ƆƐſşŕī ĎĕŔëŕĎ ĪſşŔ żĕşżōĕ ëżżōƷĶŕī Īşſ ŔşſƐīëīĕƆ Ɛş ćƖƷ ƐĲĕĶſ ǔ ſƆƐ ĲşŔĕȁ

$ % RateCity, it was the highest proportion of first home buyers since January 2012. ComSec Chief economist, Craig James said that supported by lowest mortgage rates since the 1950s demand for home loans has jumped, home sales have lifted and both the Sydney and Melbourne markets.

Springing into spring Residential auctions in Sydney and Melbourne recorded their highest clearance rates in two years in August, and this activity is expected to flow to coastal and regional growth centres up until Christmas. Angus Raine, executive chairman Raine & Horne, said the auction news is a continuation of the better times for property since the May federal election and the June and July rate cuts. Angus continued, ‘The fantastic auctionclearance rates and above-expectation sales results will encourage many emptynesters to cash in on the tax-free capital gains they have built up in their homes over the last 20–30 years. Now is the time to downsize and we expect some of these cashed-up empty-nesters to look at regional and coastal opportunities around Australia.’

Julie-Ann Manahan, principal of Raine & Horne, Ocean Shores/ Brunswick Heads, is already seeing more enquiries from Sydney and Melbourne Julie-Ann Manahan, buyers. ‘It’s been principal of Raine & phenomenal with Horne Ocean Shores/ large numbers of Brusnwick Heads buyer groups at open homes and an increase in off-market sales,’ Julie-Ann said. ‘We are enjoying an early spring market.’

Do you know your bank’s assessment rate? There is a lot of talk in lending over recent weeks about Assessment Rates. Are they the same as the interest rate that the customer receives on their home loan? Definitely not, but they do determine how much a customer can borrow.

Situated at the end Potential view of a country road ‘Mirambeena’ is just 300m from the entrance to the stunning Goonengerry National Park. Set back from the road the original hardwood farmhouse is perfectly private, elevated over 370m above sea level and enjoys views over the property down to the two spring fed dams. There is also a DA in place to build your dream home on the ridge on the highest point of the property to take advantage of the sweeping views down to Julian Rocks and The Bay over the stunning Byron hinterland. Miles from anywhere yet only 15 mins from Mullumbimby and just 25 to the beaches of Brunswick Heads, this property will make a great lifestyle change for those looking for an antidote to the hustle and bustle of city life.

This is a rare chance to grab a beautiful creekside acre in Mullumbimby. It’s with a heavy heart that the owners have decided to downsize from what has been the perfect place to bring up their children. The home is family sized and suited with privacy from the street, and recent renovations have updated the kitchen and bathrooms so there’s nothing to do. Fully landscaped grounds are adorned with mature plantings including an abundance of healthy fruit trees. Established garden beds and paths wind through the property down to a shaded frontage to the permanent creek. The town centre, schools and sporting fields are all a short walk away. A fully serviced 40 square metre steel framed shed at the back of the house is perfect for storing and tinkering and 2.1kW of solar power will make keep the bills down. A great property that gives you both convenience and space. Inspect: Saturday 14 September, 2.00pm – 2.30pm Contact: Todd Buckland 0408 966 421 Byron Shire Real Estate

Let me explain. Each lender has its own way of determining how much they will lend a customer. Lenders allow a buffer over and above the actual interest rate the customer receives in anticipation for future interest rate increases. This ensures that the customer will not default on their mortgage repayments as affordability has been demonstrated at a higher interest rate. Some lenders actually set a fixed benchmark rate. Others add a further margin of 2.25–2.75% above the actual rate given to the customer. And there is a massive difference currently between lenders. Lending affordability or the maximum loan amount for one lender may be $100,000s different from another. Even more reason to use the services of a Senior Mortgage Broker with over 20 years’ lending experience. I will know where you fit straightaway, so you save time and get into your forever home sooner.

THE SECRETS OF SINGING WITH HUSSY HICKS

ENTERTAINMENT

This week Mullum Music Fest announced their Youth Mentorship. Categories and mentors include Singer/songwriter with Juzzie Smith, Band with Andrew Morris from The Wilson Pickers, Under 15 with Mandy Hawkes, and Vocal with the Hussy Hicks. July and Leesa from the Hussys are currently tearing it up in Germany. They spoke with The Echo about what they’ll be sharing as Vocal mentors. Leesa shared the wisdom What’s the biggest mistake people make when they sing? From a technical perspective, I believe that singing is almost entirely about breathing. If you don’t have basic breath control then you can’t support your voice properly. From a musical perspective I find most people tend to mimic voices that inspire them, which is fine, but at some stage you have to find your own voice, and it’s really hard to do that if you’ve been copying someone else’s style for a long time. What are the voices that always stop you in your tracks? Kristy Lee from Alabama – whom I am lucky enough to be close friends with and who inspires me endlessly. If you haven’t heard Kristy then I recommend you drop everything immediately and go check her out. Also Krystle Warren, who is from Kansas City, Missouri, but is based in Paris. I’ve never heard anyone use their voice as an instrument in the same way that Krystle does – plus she has a tone that is like melted chocolate. How did you find your voice? I have been singing ever since I can remember. My parents talk about how I used to wake up and just start singing and making up songs as a toddler, and when I was nine years old they took me to the Tamworth Country Music Festival and I was totally hooked. I knew that I wanted to be on stage singing and it’s pretty much all I’ve ever done. Julz was always a fanatical guitarist but started to take a singing role in some of the bands she played in as a teenager and has been singing ever since. Are there places you still have to work in your voice? After all this time singing do you lose ability? Do you find new places? Of course I have to keep working at it; it’s an ever-evolving process and I hope to keep

growing my sound and my ability always. I feel like I’m improving as the years go by and hopefully that will continue to be the case. I’m massively inspired by Mavis Staples, who is still touring, still creating amazing music, and putting on mind-blowing live performances at 80 – fingers crossed we can do the same! What’s the best way to ‘grow’ a voice? I think working hard at having lots of opportunities to sing in different situations really helps. Lots of live performances, jamming, collaborating with other musicians, choirs – just anything that gives you an opportunity to use your voice in different ways. I’ve been really lucky to have a musical collaborator as accomplished as Julz, which really drives me to step up and push myself harder and harder, so if you can find people who can help you grow musically then you’ll be ahead of the game. To succeed in anything you do have to work hard, so practising breath control and working on pushing the boundaries of your range – ie trying to sing one note higher or lower than you did last week – really helps your voice evolve. How important is it as a singer to be able to play an instrument, do you think? It certainly helps. It’s not absolutely necessary but if you want to become a music creator you either have to play an instrument (or learn to program music) or find someone who can be your musical partner, which can be brilliant but also means you can’t be totally self-sufficient as you’ll always have to rely on someone else. What will you be looking for in the person you choose in the Vocal category? Originality and an obvious love for singing. Someone who has loads of potential but has only just started to realise it. Obviously natural tone and things like pitch and phrasing are very important as well but mostly, for me, it’s about an innate musicality that is undeniable.

KISS ME

I am a kisser. I love kissing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a peculiar human behaviour exercised by roughly half of human societies. I kiss hello. I kiss goodbye. I kiss friends. I kiss family. I kiss men. I kiss women. I kiss babies. I have even known to kiss strangers. The other day I saw a bloke in the street whom I thought I knew â&#x20AC;&#x201C; someone I thought I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in ages so I gave him the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;so good to see you itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so longâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; classic kiss and hug combo. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you cheek-kiss followed up by a bit of a cuddle, held for a couple of seconds. He was into it. He even went for a little groin gyration. As I pulled away I realised that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t who I thought he was. I realised he was a random dude who looked like someone I know. I actually didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know him. He knew me though. He said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, Mandy Nolan, you are so friendlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I blushed and then ran to my car where I experienced mistaken-greeting shame. I never know how to greet people. Too effusive and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re accused of being too intense, and if you are too reserved you look repressed. You always know when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kissed someone who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a kisser because they freeze up. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like being touched, let alone kissed, but they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked out yet how to perfect a lip dodge. You realise this when you are about to land your lips and the receiver has gone to wood. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull out. Once the lips make their journey through space you have to land on cheek or lip. One woman pulled herself so violently away from me one time that I kissed her on the top of the head. In her attempt to avoid contact with me she ended up with a much more intimate and maternal encounter than what she would have received if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just given me her cheek. I think kissing people as a greeting is lovely. Unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Queen. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re totally not allowed to kiss her. Paul Keating put his hand on her back and Michelle Obama hugged her. It was against protocol but I bet she loved it. The Queen must exist in constant touch deficit. If I met her Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d kiss her. On the cheek though. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a one-kiss person. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bear people coming back from six weeks in Europe and suddenly going in for two. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re European and the two-kiss is your thing, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go with it. Some people go the three-kiss. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a volley in tennis. I never know when to stop rotating my head. Last time someone kissed me three times, I went four. They got the joke so they kissed me again. By the time I stopped returning service Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hit about 21 kisses. I finished it up, however, by an unexpected Ace. Bang on the lips. With tongue. I am never sure of the kiss etiquette. Whom do you kiss? At what event? Do you kiss hello at business meetings? Outside court? Or just private functions? Until I read the story on Leigh Sales speaking out about a businessman at a charity lip-kissing her as being inappropriate I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been out of line. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kiss everyone on the lips â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but if you approach me face first without offering the cheek I assume that you want to take it on the mouth. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put the tongue in. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mash my face into yours, but I will brush lips. I understand Leighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discomfort, though. The gentleman in question had offered a cheek and then as she was about to kiss it he pulled back to the mouth. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old joke. I did it to my mum once and it was really weird. She looked at me a bit like Leigh Sales looked at that bloke. I saw someone do it on a movie and I thought how funny it would be to pull on someone. Mum was probably a dumb choice. That was so funny in the movie I watched, not so funny when your mum thinks youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to snog her. I creeped myself out. The problem with the greeting kiss I think is that it is gendered. Rather than taking a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no social kissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; policy I think we need to encourage everyone to kiss hello. Especially cis men. Aussie men need to greet each other with a kiss. Lip or cheek, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see Dave and Robbo meet up at the pub after work, both in their high vis, cheek-kissing hello before their first beer. Then Dave turns his head suddenly and kisses Robbo full on the lips. Robbo slaps Dave on the back. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Got me there, mate! My shout!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

THE WORLD COMES TO MULLUM

This year Mullum Music Festival features some amazing global musicians including one of Ethiopiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected singers: Dereb the Ambassador. Dereb grew up in a family of musicians, immersed in his home countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse musical rhythms and styles. Dereb uses pre1970s recording equipment to get the warm funky sounds of great Ethiopian artists from the 60s and 70s pioneering his own blend of ethnic-soul. From the Solomon Islands come Kaumaakonga (KMK), who come together to revive traditional chants. Charismatic guitar savant from South Africa, Sibusile Xaba, reframes maskandi and the avant-garde into his own humanist manifesto. With a vocal style that is part dreamscaping and part ancestral invocation, Xaba divines as opposed to plainly singing. From Israel come Alwan, a Middle Eastern ensemble that deliver interplay and improvisation. Born in Mississauga, Ontario, Juno Award 2018-nominated Alysha Brilla is a music producer and songwriter whose music, blogs, and spirituality are inspired by growing up with parents from two different cultural and religious backgrounds: an Ido-Tanzanian father, who emigrated to Canada, and a Canadian mother of European settler heritage. The spiritual traditions and energies passed down through Brillaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paternal Dadima (grandmother in Gujarati) have swirled their way around Indian and African rhythms into soulful acoustic echoes of an intimate song and storytelling culminating in a full band festival stage show. These are just some of the internationals, along with Nano Stern from Chile, Z-Star Trinity from the UK, from the US Joe Pug, Steve Gunn, Allensworth, Rachel Baimann, and Kent Burnside, and from the UK Blair Dunlop! Mighty Mullum bringing diversity to your door. 14â&#x20AC;&#x201C;17 November. Tix and info at mullummusicfestival.com

Tickets are flying out the door for Safiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive national album tour following their second album release Storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Start or End. Playing the Beach Hotel in Byron on Friday 20 September with special guests Boo Seeka and Eilish Gilligan, this will be a show you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss. Written and produced by the band in their hometown Canberra, the new album includes current single Resolution as well as previously released songs Think Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Not Alone, Starlight, and Cellophane Rainbow. Storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Start or End showcases the Australian three-pieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bold vision and fine attention to detail. As a band they are known for forging entire sonic landscapes with rich, cinematic detail and Storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Start or End will continue that not only sonically but also visually through their live shows. With a roll call of accolades that would make anyone feel proud, Safiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut album Internal was released in 2016 and landed at #2 on the ARIA Album Chart, #1 on the iTunes chart, received ARIA and J Award nominations, and saw the band achieve two Gold-certified singles in Australia with Make Them Wheels Roll and Embracing Me. They also completed a sold-out run of national album shows. They have placed in Triple Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hottest 100 over four consecutive years, toured the US, UK, and Europe, and have supported the likes of Lorde, Disclosure, Twenty-One Pilots, and Rudimental. www.eventbrite.com.au

MEET YOUR MAKER Newcastle psych-groovers Dyer Maker return with their salt-crusted third EP It’s Hard to Know, released just last week. Capitalising on the smooth production process Dyer continued their collaborative efforts with the legendary Grove Studios veteran Jack Nigro (DZ Deathray, Skeggs) with the group expanding on the sounds presented in Elastic and drawing influence from greats such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis, and DMAs. The standout single Days Alive has an iconic stripped-back 90s feel with comparatively minimalistic string leaving the vocals to take centre stage, cementing a lasting and powerful impression. It’s Hard to Know is a testament to the versatility and depth of the 5-piece, from the introspective relateability presented in Days Alive to the fast-paced Rage Against the Machine-inspired headbanger that is 2300, Dyer delivers both sonically and lyrically. At the Byron Brewery on Friday. Free.

You grew up in and around Byron. What was it like, good times? We moved to the Bundjalung at the age of 10, straight into surfing fishing and the coastal way of living. For a young grommet it was totally amazing and an absolute blessing. So many outdoor things to froth on and activities that didn’t cost a lot of money, which suited us as we didn’t have a lot of money. Guitars, surfing, and fishing pretty much made up my days as a young kid. You were born on Friday the 13th with your dad’s guitar case for a crib and named after two blues guitar legends, Jimmy ‘Marshall’ Hendrix and Jonny ‘Dawson’ Winter. They’re big names and occurrences to live up to. How have these very early influences shaped and formed your drive, passion, and musical direction? Yup, trippy groovy birth date, Good Friday, Friday 13th full moon. If I didn’t end up a werewolf I’d say I was destined to be a late-night musician. We had old blues music on constantly around the house; it just gets in there you know. I really love the blues. Winter’s slide playing is raw and cuts; his muddy voice still gives me goosebumps, and Jimi’s songwriting and lyrics still give me tears. Big SRV fan as well. Lately I been on heaps of Keb Mo and Taj. You stared your first band, The Immortal Flames, at the age of 11. How was that? Were you playing in pubs back then? My first little band was fun. We did a few supports for the local band Tokyo Joe at the old Lobster Pot in Ballina, now the slipway; it was a pretty rowdy pub back then and a good eye-opener to what we were diving into. Lucky to have such supportive parents to make all that happen.

Was music always going to be your destiny, do you think? Music is every day, I play every day, it’s my form of church or religion. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Since then you’ve done so much musically forming a range of bands and a consistently solid 200 gigs a year schedule with appearances at Bluesfest, Woodford, and The QuickSilver Pro, as well as receiving multiple high-profile industry awards including: Best Blues and Roots Artist at the 2012 Oz Music Industry Awards, as well as Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Vocal, Best Protest, and Best Blues and Roots Artist at the NECIA Dolphin Awards. What is it that continually drives your musical creativity? Life, love, energy, experience, stories, and wacky stuff that happens on the road. It’s cool to be able to share that with the world musically. Lucky to have such a groovy vessel to express my emotions and keep me sane, grounded, and excited. 2012 presented some challenging times for you. How have that time and those experiences impacted on your music, your ‘sound’ and creative expression? Losing my dad and a few close mates around that time was devastating, but through music I can get that sadness and emotion out. Bottling that up ain’t a good thing so again music is a great vessel to keep me grounded and a amazing way to deal with life’s curveballs, ups and downs. For people who don’t know of Marshall and The Fro how would you describe your ‘sound’? Honest, raw, boogie, mojo working Aussie blues. You’re going to be playing at the Byron Guitar Festival 12–13 October. What have you got planned for the gig? Anything you’d like to let your local fans know about the show? Lots of extended shredding guitar solos, tube screamers on 11, and P90 pickups in ya face. Can’t wait! What else is on the cards for 2019–2020? Any news you’d like our readers around the Shire to know about? I’m in Germany right now playing a heap of shows and really keen to take the music worldwide. We will be in the studio in a few weeks when I get home so look out for a brand-new single to drop around the time of Byron Guitar Festival. Saturday and Sunday 12 & 13 October at the Byron Brewery. One-day ticket $50, two-day $90. byronbayguitarfestival.com.

Indonesian artist Jumaadi’s exhibition Comes From the Shadow brings together a collection of powerful and beautiful works evoking birth and death. Life is there too, frail and fluid between these absolutes. One of Jumaadi’s major influences is the Indonesian art of shadow theatre, or wayang kulit. Although there is darkness in the work, this is constantly offset by light, whimsy, and humour. Comes From the Shadow highlights the relationship between opposites, and the confronting closeness of life and death. The internationally celebrated artist Jumaadi lives a mainly itinerant life, travelling across Australia and internationally for exhibitions. He was born in 1973 in a fishing village in East Java, Indonesia, to a family who did not place a lot of emphasis on the arts and creativity. Jumaadi had to come to terms with death at an early age when his infant brother died and Jumaadi had to bury his body. This experience made him all too aware that life is precious and fleeting. His 2019 works In the Garden 1 and In the Garden 2 have been delicately cut from buffalo hide, the traditional medium of the wayang puppets. The works depict a couple in stiff embrace. Foetuses float within and without the couple’s bodies. Doves fly, dogs scavenge, fire burns, and tree roots and crowns extend like fingers. His exhibition opens at Lismore Regional Gallery on Friday at 6pm and shows until Tuesday.

ARTIST IN FOCUS Year 12 student Timna Kopman has her sights firmly set on life beyond school as she brings to completion her Shearwater Certificate major work – Mars – a 100-page professionally printed magazine for 16- to 20-year-olds, exploring lifestyle, beauty, fashion, and popular culture.

INGENUITY

‘It’s all about the design, the images, the layout. I love magazines, but I personally don’t read them, so there are hardly any words in it.’

Mullumbimby’s own 3D sculpture festival is on for its second year, starting again with the Mullumbimby Music Festival and continuing until 24 November. Expect around 30 to 40 sculptures from Byron Shire and Shire-connected artists. This year they are also open in the evenings after the MMF, so bring your torch and explore these 3D treasures in a whole new light. There is again a people’s choice award, and probably a major prize (TBC). Sculpture submissions are welcome until 1 October and art-loving volunteers are welcome to sign up. Join the Ingenuity information meeting on Tuesday 17 September, 5.30–6.30pm, for artists, volunteers, community members, and sponsors.

The Shearwater Certificate is a non-ATAR pathway for senior students, offered at the Mullumbimby Steiner School, which sees them complete a major project with the support of an industry mentor. ‘My dream is to go to art school and study a Bachelor of Design, Creative Direction, and Styling,’ said Timna, who plans to use her magazine as an entry portfolio. ‘Doing an ATAR just didn’t seem necessary.’ Timna’s teacher and mentor Anna Delzoppo said the Shearwater Certificate was an obvious choice for a motivated student like Timna, who has excelled in all areas of the HSC Visual Design course.

For all details and applications www.ingenuityfest.com.au.

‘She is combining her love for fashion and culture and developing her skills in styling, photography, digital imaging, and graphic design.’ ‘It’s been quite a journey,’ said Timna.

ENTERTAINMENT

LIVE MUSIC CONTINUED

JIMMY WILLING’S HORSE OPERAS ARE HERE! Hooray! The long-awaited second album from Jimmy Willing & The Real Gone HickUps, Horse Operas, has arrived! Horse Operas was a term coined by silent-movie star William S Hart to describe his acting career in Westerns. Jimmy says: ‘I freely admit to being seduced by old Hollywood on this album; the iconography, the costumes, the sets, the songs, and the narratives… we have plundered them all and brought them back to life, creating not spaghetti, but kangaroo westerns. Hollywood, however, is not the only thing we have ransacked. Napoleon’s love letters to Josephine, Delecroix’s great canvas Liberty Leads the People, my own love life, folk music, and history itself have all been boiled down and distilled to create what I hope is an intoxicating recording, one that you will return to again and again. ‘The band is blues archivist Davey Bob Ramsey on guitars; tattooed man Clancy Robinson on drums; Kyogle mill worker Nirvana Glassey on double bass; the lass from Nyngan Gleny Rae Virus on piano accordion and fiddle; circus acrobat Gareth Bjlaand on banjo; grease monkey Captain Freedom on harmonica (Autry and Rogers); and Bertie Page and Lotus Jones on vocals (Ginger’s Can Can). ‘There was a huge amount of musical knowledge in the room so we decided to self-produce with everyone involved providing input. As such the ideas were diverse and lots of different styles went into the mix including cabaret, circus, country, folk, blues and of course rock’n’roll.’ Horse Operas was recorded by Patti Bom at The Music Farm, Mullumbimby, and mixed by her at Marley Studios, Byron Bay. Additional mixing and mastering was done by Michael Worthington at Soundworthy Ballina. Catch the inaugural full-moon launch at the Billinudgel Hotel with an all-star lineup of: Davey Bob Ramsey, Clancy Robinson, Nirvana Glassey, Gleny Rae Virus, Gareth Bjlaand, Miss Jodie, John Meyer, Bertie Page & The Buffalo Gals (Perky Buttonz, Pixie Pockets and Nixie La Fae), and of course, the king of cowboy cool, Jimmy Willing. Catch the inaugural full-moon launch at the Billinudgel Hotel with an all-star lineup. 6pm, $20.

AS MERCURY AND VENUS SWAN INTO THE ARTISTIC, PEACELOVING SIGN OF GRACIOUS HOSTS, THIS WEEK SEES A RISE IN COMPLIMENTS, NEW HAIRDOS, AND PARTY INVITES…

BY LILITH ARIES: With the planets of affection and expression in your partnership department, you’ll be feeling the love and sharing with others what’s close to your heart. Sure there are the inevitable clashes, with full moon likely to close a chapter that’s run its race – but is there anything Aries enjoy more than a new start? TAURUS: This week your ruling planet rekindles the spark of physical self-care. While it mightn’t sound romantic, get medical checks, book in for a massage, take another look at those lean-cuisine menus. Because articulate Mercury linking up with Venus says healthy is beautiful, exercise sexy, and fitness is fabulous. GEMINI: You’re this week’s attraction magnet and right now your words have wings. If someone’s being annoying you don’t know what they’re going through, so lean in gently. With your planet ruler Mercury snuggling with understanding Venus, what you express could touch others and make a real difference, so say it with love. CANCER: Venus moving into your home zone – what better news could there be for the Crab clan? That Mercury’s joining her. If you’re single, better make room for two, especially round weekend full moon. Only caution is to have a care about unsolicited advice, however well intended. This week it’s wiser to wait till asked. LEO: While an expressive Mercury/Venus linkup makes it easier to discuss normally touchy subjects, if someone pushes the wrong button during the weekend’s intense full moon, watch out world! But don’t let turbocharged Mars get you all worked up or behave short-sightedly. Stay cool. Take your time… VIRGO:It might be hard to read this week’s people, so if you can’t work them out, just love them and notch up karmic flybys by helping where you can. Enjoy the sumptuously touchy/ feely, caring/sharing weekend full moon in your relationship house with someone close, and do something lush and loving for yourself.

. LIBRA: Venus in Libraland, her favourite playstation, is your annual charm and charisma transit, flirtatious ones. Weekend full moon in your zone of doing something wonderful just for you shines light on how you can make easy, elegant changes and sustainable practical improvements to daily life – starting now. SCORPIO: A week for self-scrutiny: checking in with current feelings and desires. A mini-retreat away from the daily grind, even for an evening (and especially this weekend) could recharge your creative batteries for the rest of the year and reconnect you with someone at precisely the right time for what you both have in mind. SAGITTARIUS: Weekend full moon could have you yearning to get up close and personal, but with assertive Sun/Mars in the driver’s seat don’t make assumptions, do get some clarity. Vivacious Venus and articulate Mercury ensure plenty of socialising, with an older or more experienced person’s insight, advice, and counsel invaluable. CAPRICORN: With Venus in your house of achievements, accomplishments, and public prestige, new opportunities are on the radar, so present your best. No pressure though to commit to anything immediately, especially with this week’s nebulous and elusive influences strewing mystery dust. Wait till Saturn takes its finger off the Pause button next week. AQUARIUS: As the current Venus/Mercury alignment lightens, brightens, and lifts the residual weight of recent weeks, life looks more optimistic and expansive. You’re ready to fly and shine, but before booking that adventurous getaway, first check you’re not spending what you don’t have in this week’s increasingly volatile money market. PISCES: This weekend’s once-a-year full moon in your sign shines the spotlight on you, possibly illuminating the odd blind spot. If you’re feeling pulled in two directions, be kind to yourself; Venus in her harmonious home sign of beauty and glamour says it’s time for some pampering.

THE KEEPER

If I told you that a former Nazi became a star goalkeeper for Manchester City, would you believe me? Well, it happened. Bernhard Trautmann, a German prisoner of war, joined the club in 1949 after declining repatriation to Germany. He managed to thrive in a hostile environment created by both players and fans, many of whom had recently returned from the war. However, despite all this he is now regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the club’s history. The Keeper follows the story of Trautmann, played by David Cross, and is a story of love, forgiveness, and resilience. Paul Byrnes from the Sydney Morning Herald says the film ‘puts some gloss’ on Trautmann as the real man was ruthless and tough, qualities that made him an excellent soldier and helped him succeed during his time at Manchester City. The movie had to go in this direction otherwise it would have been devoid of all sympathy for the main character. Who doesn’t love an interesting story based on true events? A worthwhile watch.

2040 AT SHEARWATER

2040 director Damon Gameau turns his focus to the health of planet. Gameau is known for his very successful directorial debt That Sugar Film, which explores the effects of consuming sugar while on a ‘healthy’ diet. With on-the-road case studies 2040 is structured as a conversation with his four-year-old daughter, who will be 25 years old in 2040. According to the review of the movie in the Guardian, the outlook of the film is refreshing. While there is a plethora of information justifying the terrible state the planet is in, Gameau believes there is room for a different story and that is what he shares with us in 2040. Shearwater Steiner School at Mullumbimby is inviting you to a screening of 2040 on Friday 13 September 6.15 till 8.10pm. Gold-coin donation for entry plus popcorn and drinks. 349 Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby (in the hall)

My Darling Georgia, Six years have passed since you danced into the stars. Your graceful, full and beautiful presence is a hole in my heart that only you ﬁll. You have been gone almost a third of your presence here and the sorrow of your loss is perpetual. You are within me wherever I am and the longing for you grows stronger. Nothing here compares to your dynamic, vivacious, vibrant and luminescent self. Life pales in comparison. I will ﬁnd you darling again. I will hold you, breathe you in and never lose your spirit. Love Always, Mum

Byron Bay FC capped off a successful debut year for its high-performance program by winning three division-one grandfinals last weekend. All four teams operating under the program qualified for their grandfinal with the U/12s, U/14s and U/15s all claiming the league and grandfinal double, meaning the program has claimed six trophies this year. The U/12s got the ball rolling on Friday night with a 2–1 win over local rivals Bangalow. It was a solid team effort with Valentino Lanzeni the star, with the 10-year-old scoring both goals and winning man of the match. Saturday saw the U/15s

Lennox Head’s Ben Dickens has achieved an amazing hat trick in the O/40s men’s at the Australian Longboard Titles held on the Tweed Coast by winning three years in a row. He was also runner-up in the O/40s logger division at the Australian Logger Titles, held alongside the Longboard Titles. Dickens is on an amazing roll over the past three years as he has only been beaten once in the two divisions at the titles with his double victories in 2017 and in 2018.

It was almost four

grandfinal wins as the U/13s were leading Alstonville 2–0 with 15 minutes to go before conceding late goals and losing 4–2. There is the potential to add to the trophy cabinet as the 12s and 14s are travelling to Coffs Harbour next month to compete in the Northern NSW Champion of Champions tournament.

level 1–1 after normal time and although the Brownsnakes had the better of extra time, scores remained even. The match went to the lottery of a penalty shootout, where Mullum prevailed 5–4. A great season for the Brownsnakes, finishing second in first division. In happier news the Shores United U/12 minor premiers faced Ballina in the second division grandfinal on Saturday morning. In a heated match that raged back and forth, the Shores boys showed why they were second division champions.

With the blustery wind quickly drying out the moderately fast green the conditions were not the easiest for the final of the Brunswick Heads Women’s Bowls Triples Championship held last Tuesday. Sharon Allen, Fay Parkes, and Marcia Crichton looked to have a strong start but a five-point loss on the seventh end proved hard to

recover from. The team of Julie Quigley, Jenny Meinel, and Jenny Lofts took advantage and managed to claw ahead and hold onto their lead for the remainder of the match to win 23–19. The win follows Meinel and Lofts women’s pairs win earlier in the year and is a great result for Quigley – one of the club’s newer bowlers.

Making protest illegal is something governments of all stripes would like to do. Second best is provoking violence and blaming protesters. Hong Kong police have hit on another way to punish citizens who object to oppressive laws: spraying them with indelible blue dye. The protesters had wised up to facial recognition cameras in the street and pulled them down, but the blue dye will mark them down for future investigation. Don’t be surprised if the Queensland government is currently sourcing water cannon and permanent pigment. Q Q Q Q
