High hopes for wordfest Council to consider new Bluesfest site

Victoria Cosford

The current economic climate notwithstanding, ticket sales for the Byron Bay Writers Festival have been incredibly strong, according to director Jeni Caffin. ‘People have come back confidently,’ she told The Echo, even after the disaster which saw one entire day of the Festival last year cancelled due to flooding. At its new venue at Belongil Fields there will be, she went on to say, ‘four fabulous marquees bristling full of fabulous writers’. And while she acknowledges that the weather will once again be in the lap of the gods, ‘we’ll move heaven and earth to ensure the environment is safe and welcoming for all the guests.’ Jeni is contagiously enthusiastic about this, her third Writers Festival, though happy to single out specific

elements. The mix of writers is one – not just the young with the old but the new with the practised, in particular writers who are ‘seriously mature’, such as Sam Cutler, who are putting out their first books. ‘There’s a lot of hope and inspiration for the new writer there’, she said. And it won’t be all high-ticket items either this year, with a lot of budget events as well as free book launches. Another reason for her excitement is the presence of comics such as Wendy Harmer, Roy Masters and Imran Ahmad – the latter whose account of a 40-city book tour in 40 days is ‘absolutely hysterical’. ‘Anything that involves humour or music touches people’, she said. Kerry O’Brien in conversation with two undercover policemen is guaranteed to be a ‘killer session’ and the Saturday morning pitching sessions,

where ten writers will be pitching their manuscripts to some of Australia’s top publishers and agents, will be fabulous. She recommends that attendees check into the on-site Chatroom whose white board will list spontaneous events changing daily. Jeni’s chief thrill comes from the knowledge that out of the hundred writers booked to appear this year, 20% are from the Northern Rivers region – ‘we are so blessed,’ she points out, ‘with all the creative practitioners we have in the area.’ Blessed too with the level of support given so freely by the local community – a point echoed by Chris Hanley, chairperson for the Festival and its founder 13 years ago. ‘I’m really proud of the area, the volunteers and the local people’, he said, going on to declare that it is the latter element responsible for one of

Special

Groups applying for funding need to demonstrate how their project will deliver positive results for the community through various outcomes and local councils will need to make a commitment to match the funding from the government.

of the development application,’ the report notes. ‘The proposal will be of benefit to the community in many areas, but will also potentially result in impact upon the natural and built environment. ‘The exact impact is hard to determine without further collection of specific data during the festival event on this particular site in relation to traffic, car parking, noise and impacts upon the natural environment. Council engineers still have concerns regarding flooding on the car park areas, and Council should only grant approval for the development application for a maximum period of five years to enable Council, the applicant, the community and government departments with the opportunity to examine all impacts associated with the festival event and the continued suitability of the site for the proposed development. ‘There are no permanent structures proposed as part of the development application, with the exception of construction of six creek and drainage crossings; widening and graveling some of the access roads; construction of permanent protective fencing around Vegetation Protection Areas; and vegetation rehabilitation and planting. ‘Most of the new creek crossings will replace existing, low-level creek crossings needed and used as part of the existing farm operations.’

Byron Shire Councillors are expected this Wednesday to consider an application to relocate the annual East Coast Blues & Roots Music Festival to a new site at Tyagarah. The staff report recommends approving the site use for a festival for a maximum of five years. ‘While the annual Bluesfest event will transform the Tyagarah site into a festival site, for the rest of the year it will remain a working cattle and tea tree plantation as it is at present,’ according to the staff report. The Tyagarah site is in three lots totalling about 120 hectares immediately east of the Tyagarah Pacific Highway interchange overbridge. Access to the site is via Tanner Lane. According to the staff report the site is ‘presently occupied by a working tea tree farm and grazing pastures, with three dwelling houses, a truck depot and various sheds and farm activity areas. It is interspersed by a number of watercourses, ultimately draining to Simpsons Creek. The larger watercourses incorporate corridors of native vegetation that connect to a continuous band of primarily native vegetation adjoining the eastern boundary at Simpsons Creek.’ Eighty-six submissions were received to the public exhibition of the DA – 85 opposed, one in favour. ‘The number of submissions received in respect of the proposal provide an indication as to the high level of community interest in the outcome

The Sustainable Streets project in Mullumbimby started at the end of 2008 with a household in Stuart Street winning an Eco-home make-over. The project was so well supported by local businesses, that the group were able to include a second house in New City Road. The installation of solar hot water systems, insulation, thermal cookers and improved composting systems including other behavioural changes has given the households a great start. The families have happily accepted the challenge to reduce their ecological footprint and carbon emissions. If you live in Stuart Street, New City Road or the nearby neighbourhood, here’s an opportunity to save your household some money and do the

Above is the publicity shot for Whalo-king, a whale meat sushi bar allegedly coming to Byron Bay. You can see more at www. whaloking.com. It has certainly put the cat among the pigeons but we think it’s a clever spoof. We are still waiting to talk with the proprietor, ‘Mrs Mavis Anthony’, but the evidence is suggestive of hoaxing: there is no reference on Google to Whalo-king outside of its Bangalow website, a return email to a resident came from ‘Ebi Tonkatsu’, the name of two Japanese dishes, and we can’t seriously think a firm would call one of its burgers ‘Spermo’. Residents who received a mailout are enjoined to complete a questionnaire and display a fridge magnet.

the defining qualities of the Byron Bay Writers Festival, namely, its ‘buzz’. According to Chris there is a mood and an atmosphere here which is absent from other festivals – and he has over the years attended a great many writers’ festivals both in Australia and overseas – and it owes largely to the ‘big chunk from the Northern Rivers in the audience’, the eclectic demographic nature of the festival-goers and the manageable size of the event which endows it with an informal, almost intimate character. Chris himself is looking for-

ward to seeing Geoffrey Robertson – ‘such a great mind and energy, perfectly suited to our audience’ – as well as Tom Keneally, Wendy Harmer and the Williamsons. The fact that the Festival will be occupying a new site enthuses him as well. ‘Last year,’ he said, ‘was a very very difficult time for us, but the local community was great.’ The Byron Bay Writers Festival runs from August 7 to 9, with workshops commencing on August 3.

Residents object to tower location Story & photo Lou Beaumont

A group of residents from and near Laurel Avenue, Mullumbimby, has come together in opposition to the proposed Optus 3G mobile tower at 1862 Coolamon Scenic Drive. It seems the majority of residents are not opposed to new telecommunications infrastructure in Mullumbimby, recognising the need of locals for better mobile and internet coverage, but it is the chosen location that has them up in arms. Nine possible sites for the monopole were considered, but the development application on display at Council proposes the monopole be erected on Coolamon Scenic Drive, a site that residents say is far too close to a major primary school and a densely residential area. As well as the visual impact, which residents say will be significant, another primary concern is the uncertainty of long term health impacts.

School nearby Laurel Avenue resident Ross Devine said, ‘St John’s Primary School building and grounds is within 300 metres of the tower. In 1997 the NSW Minister for Education objected to towers near schools “normally meaning a 500 metre buffer” based on a policy of prudent avoidance. Radiation from this tower peaks between 50 and 300 metres. The DA never mentions the primary school even though it is within 300 metres of the site. ‘Also, the proposed site is within 100 metres of eight residential properties, with a further 34 residential properties within the next 100 metres, and more than I could count within a further 100 metres. This is

appalling and goes against industry recommendations, and other local government planning policies.’ Another Laurel Avenue resident, Adam Boyd, told The Echo, ‘The DA is packed with statements from Optus saying the tower is safe. It is diabolical.’ Boyd and other residents want Byron Shire Council to consider the Precautionary Principle that lies within its own Local Environment Plan when considering the proposed site for the tower. Residents are also objecting to the limited notification they were given about the proposed tower. According to residents, inadequate response time to the DA was given, a response period that has since been extended by Council, for some residents immediately affected by the application, by two weeks. Submissions close on Wednesday August 12. Of concern too is the cumulative effect of such a tower, with industry code stating that

the infrastructure, once in existence, would be the obligatory site for other telecommunications companies to use for additional equipment, potentially adding greater visual and radiation impact over time. An Optus spokesperson said, ‘As part of the expansion of its mobile and wireless broadband network, Optus has submitted a proposal to build a 3G mobile facility in Mullumbimby.

‘Enhance coverage’ ‘This facility will enhance existing mobile and wireless broadband coverage in the area – delivering greater choice and competition to customers in Mullumbimby. Optus follows a rigorous assessment process when trying to find a location for a mobile base station facility including a formal process of consultation with the council and local community. During our search for suitable mobile sites, we work hard to strike a balance between customer

demand for improved mobile and broadband coverage in the area and the preferences of individual residents. For more information on our coverage please visit www.optus.com. au/coverage.’ Many people don’t agree that Optus have consulted appropriately with the community, therefore a group of residents have given Optus an opportunity to consult them further. This Thursday, three concerned residents, three Optus representatives and three members of Byron Shire Council will meet to discuss things further. The Optus spokesperson added, ‘Optus will review all feedback from Council regarding the proposed mobile facility and will take this information into account before making any decisions on further steps.’ Adam Boyd told The Echo, ‘We want to make it clear that we are not opposing any tower being built but rather the inappropriate location they have proposed.’

Good start for Bruns debaters Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Debating has been a feature of New South Wales public schools since the 1930s, when the Hume Barbour Competition started for metropolitan area senior debating students. Today there are more than 1,000 schools with students from Years 5 to 12 in the Premier’s Debating Challenge which is open to teams of four students from Primary Schools throughout NSW – some schools entering more than two teams in each age division. The competition begins in Term 2 and Brunswick Heads Public School students competed with other schools in the area in May in the first round of this year’s Challenge, which they won against both Mullumbimby and Coorabel Public Schools. The team is very excited about the win and looking forward to their next debate in which they will compete against other zone winners in the North Coast Regional Challenge, hopefully with another win which will see them attending a three day camp

Watch out for smash ’n’ grab

Local Deon Demouche wants to warn others about the potential of car theft in Byron, even in broad daylight. ‘I parked my car in Captain Cook carpark on Lighthouse Road last Thursday morning. At 10.30am my rear window was smashed and everything in my car was stolen. I had two bags in the car, one was my handbag with my life in it, and both had a towel draped over them in the car. They took my camera with irreplaceable photos of my daughter on it, my keys, my diary, clothes, books, everything. If any of these things have been dumped I would love to get them back. ‘The police told me that there was three similar robberies the same day, one at The Pass, one at Watego’s and another at Broken Head. Another local told me the same thing happened to her in Seaview Street. The robbery happened in broad daylight, and so too did the others it seems, so I wanted to warn Clockwise from top left, Rochelle Arthur, Byron Paine, Callie other locals not to leave anyWynd, Jake Stenner, Solomon Guyler, Jasmine Dickinson and thing of value in their car.’ Azlan Currie.

Chance for youth to organise own events Live bands, dancing with DJ’s, a beach party, art projects, volley ball and cricket are just some of the activities young people listed as fun things to do at the Brunswick Youth Forum held last year. Local kids now have the opportunity to make their dream event happen. Brunswick Heads Community Care Council has received a $2,000 donation from Byron Shire Council for youth activities in the North of the Shire. ‘We’re looking for young people to help organise alco-

hol and drug free events over Schoolies and the Christmas holiday period,’ said Michele Grant from BHCCC. Anyone interested in event management, performing or just having fun is invited to come along to Brunswick Heads Community Centre on Wednesday August 12 at 4pm. ‘Our role is to support the kids and help them plan and organise whatever event or activity they’d like to do,’ said Michele. The successful ‘Fresh Chords’ Indent event last month was

organised by Shearwater students Angie, Shaun, Toby and Jo. Their band Alice Blue performed with Half Nelson and the rappers Rtiztic. Seventeen talented young musicians entertained their dancing peers and gained professional experience. ‘There’s the opportunity to undertake art projects too,’ said Michele. ‘Suggestions include repainting the old shed in Banner Park, and we could brighten up the Housie Shed with some beautiful artwork on the walls. There’s lots of graffiti art-

ists around, so we’d like them to come along. ‘There’s lots of interest in re-showing the wearable arts fashions from Shearwater. People also want to see our HSC student’s art works, and the major projects they’ve put so much time and energy into. ‘The list is long but all very do-able, but it’s up to the kids. Young people know what they want, they’ve got heaps of talent and ability, and they’re great networkers. They know what appeals to young people to make an event successful.’

Beach Bums celebrate tenth year Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Variety – The Children’s Charity – is about to start the journey on what should be a wonderful year of fundraising as they get ready for the 25th Annual B to B Bash. The Byron Bay Beach Bums are also set to go as they celebrate a special anniversary, their tenth as Variety bashers. The Variety Bash raises funds for children with special needs. This year’s Bash will begin on August 16 from Bennelong Point, the site of a little Opera House they have down there. This was the starting point for the very first Bash organised by Dick Smith in 1985 before the cars headed to Bourke and finished in Burketown. Twenty-five years later, the Bash will head south-west to the history filled town of Parkes and as 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy, the group will have dinner at Australia’s most famous ‘Dish’, the Parkes Radio Telescope and be entertained by Australia’s world renowned astronomer, Fred Watson. The cars will then head to Broken Hill via Hay, Berri, Woomera, Coober Pedy and Alice Springs. Once they are in

A pilot program aimed at reducing the amount of building site waste going to landfill has started up in Byron Shire. Operating in conjunction with Byron Council, it is the brainwave of local builder Tate Neale, owner of Byron Environmental Construction (BEC). Neil’s inspiration came from observing workers using a skip to discard all their waste and he felt that a

solution could be found. Council has provided the company with a yellow recycling bin for collection with the regular recycling round. Waste will be monitored over a period of four weeks. The aim is to provide a recycling bin to all construction sites in the Shire maintained by a regular recycling service. For more information on the program contact Byron Shire Council Waste Management on 6626 7156.

the ‘centre’, they will meet up with all other states of Australia for the national bash which takes place every four years. The bashers will then travel back to Coober Pedy, Hawker and finally to Broken Hill for the final night after 13 days on unsealed roads. ‘The bash is not a race or rally but a drive in the outback with your mates,’ said basher Trevor

Watts. ‘It’s a celebration as we raise all our funds before we leave. Along the way we leave items at schools, hospitals and at community groups.’ The Byron Bay Beach Bums would like to thank all local businesses, service clubs and friends for their loyal support over ten years which has enabled the group to raise $175,000 for NSW Variety

special needs children. ‘We have also been able to submit appeals for individuals in our local area,’ said Trevor. ‘We are pleased to say that we were successful in receiving special medical equipment for ten local families.’ For more information about the Variety event and how you can be involved, visit the website at www.varietynsw.org.au.

Mullum pool will be ready for Spring: Council It’s starting to warm up and the roof on the new Mullumbimby Pool amenities block is about to go on, according to Byron Shire Council. At a construction cost of over $550,000 the new building will be ready to open in time for the spring swimming season. The old building was constructed back in the 1960s but shifting clay soils have contributed to cracks appearing in the structure and the plumbing under the building. The building needed to be upgraded. Council’s property maintenance coordinator Len Reilly said although the new building has been designed to be functional it will look good and has an emphasis on practicality, low maintenance and affordability. ‘From the outside it’s a modest

Belongil continues to make waves

MICHAEL CURRIE

Michael McDonald

In a colourful media release last week the Belongil Progress Association (BPA) continued its attack on Byron Shire Council over its coastal management plan. It drew a measured response from Council but no real answers to the association’s claims. Comparing Council’s tactics to events in Kosovo and Zimbabwe, the BPA claimed that the coastal zone management plan soon to go on exhibition would require homeowners ‘to demolish their homes, at their own expense, if the sea comes to within 20 metres of their property. Not only that but they will be prevented from taking any action to protect their houses from the sea.’ There will be no compulsory acquisition or any other form of compensation, claimed the BPA. Drawing on a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of modern history, BPA went on to say, ‘This will be the first time in the western world that anything like this has occurred. ‘It’s all part of a controversial policy called “planned retreat” under which the Council intends to give way to the “forces of nature” – except, that is, where its own assets are involved. These will be protected at considerable community expense.’ ‘In the case of Belongil… the Council has already had surveyors out to check which houses will be the first to go. These include the home of an 85-year-old widow who lost her previous home to the Ash Wednesday bushfires in Victoria in 1983.’ In response Council called on residents to wait until the draft Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) is out on exhibition ‘in order to make an informed decision on its content’. Council’s director of planning Ray Darney said, ‘We are hoping to get Council goahead for the draft CZMP to go out on public exhibition in August.

Mr Darney said the draft CZMP takes into account the natural environment, cultural heritage, landscapes and amenity, land use and social characteristics, economic characteristics, recreation and tourism and provides an emergency action plan. Following the exhibition period, the submissions will be collated and presented back to Council for preparation for the final draft. If there are any significant changes as a result of

evant state and federal policy and legislation and any other advice given by relevant government departments. Mr Darney also responded to my series of questions based on BPA’s claims: ‘Houses will be required to demolish their homes, at their own expense, if the sea comes to within 20 metres of their property.’ True or false? Mr Darney: ‘Since 1988 houses built or altered within some areas of the Byron Shire

THE COST OF DISASTER: According to Byron Shire Council’s director of asset management services Phil Holloway, natural disaster funding claims from the May storm event will tally about $5 million. ‘We are currently preparing a $3.8 million funding claim for damage to Council roads and another $1.2 million to fund beach access restoration and cleanup of debris. ‘We’ve tagged all the work sites and it’s very clear we are going to be kept flat out repairing the damage over the coming months.’ public consultation, the draft may then go back out on public display. The draft CZMP plan will then be submitted to the Minister for Climate Change and the Environment for review and approval. ‘At present, management of the coastal zone is primarily a responsibility of local councils,’ Mr Darney said. ‘Until the government adopts an alternative method to manage the coastline then we are guided by the NSW Coastline Management Manual, rel-

coastline have had an approval condition requiring relocation or demolition of the building when the erosion escarpment comes within 20 or 50 metres. ‘Section 149 Certificates, that is zoning certificates, inform prospective buyers of the restrictions and conditions. They purchase and build with knowledge of the risk and information regarding the coastal hazard has been noted on certificates from 1988.’ BPA: ‘Not only that but they will be prevented from taking any action to protect their

houses from the sea. There will be no compulsory acquisition or any other form of compensation.’ True or false? Mr Darney: ‘The issue of voluntary acquisition will be considered within the draft CZMP and is a matter for future examination.’ BPA: ‘Council has already had surveyors out to check which houses will be the first to go.’ True or false? Mr Darney: ‘The coastal escarpment has been re-surveyed after the recent erosion event as it regularly has been in the past.’ In addition, I asked if Council could point to which pages of relevant documents, eg Part J of the DCP, in which the term ‘planned retreat’ is used. Mr Darney: ‘“Planned Retreat” is a generic term for a strategic landuse management regime. It is not a term used in the current planning instruments but, for example, it is used in standing resolutions of Byron Shire Council.’ Absence of the term in documents even intrigued the mind of Justice Biscoe in a recent Land & Environment Court case: ‘For example, is it in the LEP? Is it just in a council resolution? Are they all expressed in the same way? Does it allow for these walls and so on to be built? At the moment I am unclear as to precisely what this policy is or what its status is in terms of planning instruments.’

acy of last government, which far from being a pack of rabid free-marketeers, in fact put a sensible regulatory framework in place and thus protected us from the excesses of places like America. And in any case, this crisis was never as bad as Rudd paints it: the recession of the 90s was far worse. Rudd has over-reacted and now we will all pay the price. It has the makings of a good

mining boom to fund across the board tax cuts and the conservative approach of investing them in savings or infrastructure preferring to spend them on carefully targeted welfare payments. A genuine neo-liberal, Des Moore of the Institute of Private Enterprise, was moved to comment: ‘It is absurd to have 2.7 million, or 20 percent of the working population, receiving

Howard’s welfare profligacy was such that Treasury now estimates that the economy had actually gone into structural deficit at the end of 2007… by Mungo MacCallum argument, but it also has its weaknesses. Sure the statistics of the 90s look very bad compared with the present lot: unemployment hit 10 percent and stayed there for nearly two years, while this time around it is expected to peak at 8.5 or less. But Rudd would argue that is simply because both the Reserve Bank and the Treasury were too slow to act in the 90s. It is the immediate stimulatory blitz that saved us this time. As for Howard being the true conservative – well, that’s not even how he described himself. He always said he was a social conservative but an economic liberal. But in practice he was more of an opportunist. WorkChoices was indeed a liberal, even neo-liberal policy, but a ruthless vendetta against organised labour hardly an economic philosophy; in Howard’s case it was little more than a personal obsession. On the wider economic front Howard rejected both the liberal approach of using the windfall surpluses of the

income support compared with only 15 percent at the end of the 1980s and 4 percent in 1969. Social assistance benefits now contribute 14.3 percent of gross household disposable income. This compares with just 8 percent under Whitlam.’ Howard nearly twice as bad as Whitlam! That must have hurt. In fact, Howard’s welfare profligacy was such that Treasury now estimates that the economy had actually gone into structural deficit at the end of 2007, with the boom still going full blast. So the idea of Howard as the cautious, provident manager does not stand up. But that does not negate the question about whether Rudd has been too extravagant, running up too much debt too fast. There is no doubt that the spending packages have reduced unemployment, but it has not been cheap. A couple of months ago the opposition used Treasury figures to claim that every job saved

istory was also on display at the Labor Party’s national conference, and by all reports it was about the only thing that was. Here was much reminiscing about the bad old days of opposition and how good it was to be in government, and a wave of nostalgia as Bob Hawke took the stage to receive his well-merited life membership badge. But the media were universally disappointed. It wasn’t, they complained unceasingly, like the grand old conferences of yesteryear. Well no, it wasn’t: these things change and evolve. The problem was that many of the commentators obviously don’t. They came to Darling Harbour like police roundsmen converging on a crime scene, demanding sex and violence, blood and guts. ‘Bring back the biff!’ they chorused as most of the disputes were settled in a more or less civilised fashion behind closed doors and everything on the conference floor was sweetness and light. Such was the lack of aggro that the debate on gay marriage, a fringe issue that was already locked up anyway, became the epicentre of hostilities. The fact is that conference has reformed. It is now more an excuse for a tribal gathering than a forum for serious policy formulation. That still goes on, but in smaller and more manageable conclaves, such as the kitchen of The Lodge. These days the best place to find a political stoush is in the opposition party rooms. And come to think about it, it was ever thus. Government is a great pacifier.

Letters

Call to protect the Belongil Spit I take exception to several statements by Mayor Barham in relation to Belongil erosion and the rock structure, ‘headland’, at the end of Jonson Street during an interview with Mayor Barham on the ABC’s National Interest on July 24 and additionally in statements Cr Barham made during a council meeting on Thursday June 18 (that many Belongil residents attended). Mayor Barham referred to an upstream erosion effect caused by the Jonson Street rock protection works and groyne affecting the beach for ‘only a couple of hundred metres or so from the structure’. This statement is an absolute untruth and I have reminded councillors about this fact but it seems no-one is listening. The statement which refers to a short impact of 200 metres from the Jonson Street rock wall and groyne structure was removed from the draft coast-

line management plan by the coastline management committee in February 2009. The reason it was removed is that the structure at Jonson Street is considered by coastal engineers as a ‘headland’, not a wall. Council is treading on very shaky ground with the issue of coastal retreat applying to Belongil, not only on the specific technical issue as set out above, but on the issue of exposing low lying areas of Byron Bay to unprecedented flooding if the Belongil Spit is allowed to deteriorate further. As a navigator I have navigated many coastlines and oceans and river systems around the world for the past 30 years and I understand tides and the sea. As well I live on a property on the Belongil Creek and have intimate knowledge of its tidal and flooding scenarios. I can assure readers without any doubt that if the Belongil Spit is lost or seriously breached

low lying areas of Byron Bay will experience unprecedented flooding during severe weather conditions. Properly engineered and planned coastal protection works must be undertaken to protect the dunes from the Johnson Street rock headland structure to a point past the last property on Belongil to ensure the Belongil Spit is not lost and to properly provide a year round beach. This is imperative, the consequences of the Belongil Spit being compromised further are not something any property owner in Byron Bay would want to even contemplate.

Onsite sewage woes

would mistakenly provide that hope where the lot layout does not warrant it: OSM design to Council’s guidelines is not achievable within the boundaries proposed. The proposal claims proudly that each lot is capable of receiving ‘tertiary treated and disinfected reclaimed water’ and ‘as a minimum, a NSW Health approved AWTS (or equivalent system), a disinfection system (ideally UV, chlorine or both), reclaimed water storage tank and reclaimed water irrigation field’. This sounds great on paper but it puts an obligation on prospective owners to go ‘high-tech’ when they eventually apply for their OSMS. Not a good starting point, hey?

Good subdivision does not encumber future owners with high-tech obligations. Council is known to allow such solutions where an existing lot is substandard on issues like lot size, proximity to watercourses, poor soils, etc. To lumber ‘innocent’ new owners with such headaches now is folly. Staff should recommend against the DA. Councillors should consider asking the developer to reduce their greed – oops, I mean their ‘return’ – on the matter.

â–

The onsite sewage design in the Regenesis DA10.2009.220.1 for new residential lots in Main Arm ignores Council’s current OSM Design Guidelines of 2004. It proposes irrigation areas way too small, based on the whims of a Sydneybased OSM designer. If these lots are approved and sold on, Council will require any subsequent owner to design their OSM system according to the right guidelines. It’ll be another bunfight. The lots are too small. It’s just another case of a developer maximising its profits. Carving this property up for sale requires hope for the final owners that OSM is achievable on each lot. Approval now

residents of Belongil. One half of Byron is protected by a massive groyne and rock wall (with plans for it to be made ‘bigger and better’) while the other is denied the same protection. So Council is prepared to dump more rock in the centre of town in the future while in the recent extreme weather conditions Council sat on their hands as dunes, coffee rock and beach access were washed away. Worse still, they spent large amounts of our money on solicitors and barristers to stop residents protecting their property. No-one knows what mother nature has in store for any of us at any time but, in the meantime, let us treat our fellow residents in Belongil as we treat residents and their businesses in town. We should take care lest our humanity get in the way of ideology and science.

Byron Bay garding our involvement in Afghanistan. It correctly identifies our need to defend against terrorism and our desire to help the Afghan people as the official reasons for our military presence in that country. The only problem with this narrative is the lack of geostrategic and historical context. No doubt within the limit of a thousand words, it would be a challenge to explain the fundamental importance of oil to the modern industrial economy, or the strategic significance of Afghanistan as a conduit linking the oil fields of the Caspian basin to the ports of the Arabian Sea. And there wouldn’t really be room to note that control of vital oil supplies has long been a prime objective of US National Security Strategy, or that US involvement in Afghanistan began under Carter and continued under Reagan,

Problems with big festivals persist for local residents So Splendour In The Grass has given up on getting all it wants from Byron Council and is now confident of getting its way with the state government. Without going too deeply into the ethics of their move to undermine local democracy I would hope now that the people in the north of the shire will be able to fully comprehend what is in store for them if they do not now fight with every fibre of resistance. SPITG (Splendour) have been planning for at least four major festivals a year. Their current festival brings in around 20,000 predominantly young party goers per day over a three day period. On their website they talk of now being able to increase that number if their move to Yelgun proceeds. Let’s say 25,000 or more per day for a minimum of 16 days per year with another 56 days per year of highly concentrated activity and traffic movement either side of each festival. Now here is the choice. You swallow the extra jobs line, the extra income for businesses, but allow for the fact that Brunswick Heads ceases once and for all to be the family holiday place, the families desert and the party goers move in. On top of that you fully acknowledge that hav-

ing the entire population of Byron Shire doubled and concentrated between North Ocean Shores and Brunswick Heads for up to one month of the year in addition to the Christmas holiday period might be going to cost our existing infrastructure and tax our local budget by at least an additional 10%. You also fully accept without complaint that your local beach, possibly your front yard and possibly the house next door will become a venue for drunkenness for up to one month of the year. You appreciate too that driving in the northern part of the shire you will run the risk of being collected by a drunken driver (taking into account the age of the driver and proven statistics) by an increase of possibly 300%. You acknowledge that the chance of the Billinudgel nature reserve being burned out will also rise by about 300%. Not worth it? Then now is the time to email the NSW Planning Minister, Kristina Kenneally at heffron@parliament. nsw.gov.au, our local MP, Justine Elliot at Justine.Elliot.MP@ aph.gov.au. You can also leave a message for the band Powderfinger, who are major stakeholders in the development and ask them to withdraw support for the development on their website at powderfinger.com

Pete and the power

■

Bush Senior and Clinton. Nor would there be space to mention the aborted UNOCAL pipeline deals with the Taliban in the mid 90s or the plans to invade Afghanistan that were drawn up well before 9/11. And of course, the significant political influence of big oil, big money, private military corporations and the weapons industry is way beyond the scope of palatable commentary. Unfortunately, without such details the public is never going to understand the underlying reasons for our involvement in America’s wars. And if we don’t understand the problem, we can’t solve it.

I thought Paul Brecht (Letters, July 28) was too smart to get surprised or disappointed by Peter Garrett. I tried to like Midnight Oil myself but couldn’t do it. A Sydney Morning Herald review summed it up describing their work as ‘sloganistic trash’. The best I heard them sound was on a live TV broadcast in Brazil. I guess a Brazilian sound engineer didn’t recognise Garrett as a hero, couldn’t understand what he was on about, noticed that he sounded pretty bad and so virtually removed his voice from the mix – which is more or less how the Labor Party have managed him. Since then I’ve wondered John Scrivener if Midnight Oil would have Main Arm worked better by taking away

Edited for length – Ed

■ The day after Splendour I received an email copy of a letter by Russell Eldridge (Ocean Shores, former editor of The Northern Star) to Justine Elliot MP, pleading the case against a permanent mega-festival site at Yelgun. I agree with Russell, but disagree with his statement that, ‘Most opponents of the move to Yelgun believe that rock concerts such as Splendour have their place. But they should be close to Byron Bay, where there is more transport, medical facilities and other infrastructure.” I am a Sunrise resident, ‘close to Byron Bay’. Saturday night the noise level outside our homes peaked regularly at 72db SPL (four times the maximum energy level Splendour agreed to) as measured by professional field recording equip-

Pete’s mic and putting him in a go-go dancing cage – which is also a bit like what the Labor Party have done. Pete won’t surprise us if we recognise that he’s always been motivated by the power rather than the passion. The way he’s changed sides is a bit like the way a footballers change codes or the way Malcolm Turnbull has changed parties and religions. IQ aside, Turnbull and Garrett have much in common (eg Gunns pulp mill). It is evidence of a super thick skin, head or both, that Garrett hasn’t embarrassed himself into retirement already. Speaking of IQ and embarrassment: Mal Meninga, who entered politics in similar style, managed to understand that

ment, mostly in the infrasonic range undetected by the usual sound measuring machines. This rattles pictures and china, and went on until 2am Sunday morning. Sunrise Beach has been barricaded and fenced for ten days. So much broken glass remains on the bicycle tracks that they are unsafe. Saturday Ewingsdale Road was clogged, even to emergency vehicles. Roving mobs of drunken punters terrorised the neighbourhood, but the police were concerned with writing as many parking tickets as possible. Splendour does not belong ‘close to Byron Bay’ or any other residential area. Splendour, like Burning Man in the US, belongs in a deserted hinterland. Charles Sawyer

Byron Bay ■ While

everyone has been focused on the Splendour site at Yelgun the Blues Festival have been pushing through a DA for the equally inappropriate siting of their festivals at Tyagarah. There has been much speculation about the reasons for lack of coverage by the local press. This Wednesday August 5, 10.30am, Council will consider a DA for an annual festival with 20,000 people on the Tyagarah

We were wrong In my military days it was suggested that it was good practice to ‘never apologise, never explain’. So I will now proceed to do both. As Mr Rene Thalmann helpfully points out (Letters, July 28), I did predict that Council was unlikely to sustain significant financial loss from their purchase of CDO investment products – I was wrong. My opinion was based on the then advice of Council’s financial staff (and consultants)

swamps, adjacent to the nature reserve. Local residents are seriously worried about being effectively excluded from living peacefully in their homes for five days as they put up with noise and illegal campers and also with the challenge of getting to and from their homes through the traffic. Discussions with police have revealed concern at the prospect of 15,000 partygoers leaving the site at midnight to drive to places of accommodation throughout the shire. Given the nature of these festivals it doesn’t take much insight to imagine the state of many of these drivers. Mullum residents are also worried as Mullumbimby will be the closest place to shop without paying inflated festival prices, and locals are likely to find it hard to access the highway as festers use Gulgan Road to try and avoid the inevitable traffic jams at the site. With the virtual shutdown of any other tourism other than the festival, Brunswick Heads businesses should also be worried. Byron gets virtually locked down for multipule days at a time during both Splendour and Blues Fest. Do we want Mullum and Bruns to be similar no-go areas to locals? Tyagarah Beach is also threatened. The DA has failed who no doubt felt that this was the most accurate assessment at that time – they were wrong – as was the majority of the investment world. As for the vindication of Ephraim Sella (the Burringbar Banker) et al, their prediction that money would be lost (at that stage, only the interest component) was unfortunately only partially correct. However, as I recall, their main point was that the elected council should have somehow prevented the investments in the first place. This would have been a feat to rival the loaves and fishes considering that these were ‘AAA’ and ‘AA’ rated products (as mandated by the state government), almost the entire global financial system

to show how it will be protected from festival goers, while retaining access to locals and other tourists. On one of the maps it shows access restricted, but in another part the DA talks about festival goers having access. As everyone knows Easter is a common time of the year for floods, and the festival hasn’t convinced many people that they can adequately evacuate 20,000 drunk and stoned partyers in the event of a flood. Grays Lane has flooded several of the recent Easters and it is not clear how locals will be able to get home if they are unable to drive up Grays Lane and unable to park at the interchange. Anyone who has an issue with this is encouraged to call their councillors, and to turn up on Wednesday and let Council know how big a concern they have. John Bailey

didn’t see the ‘meltdown’ coming and councillors have absolutely no power to choose individual investments anyway. I hope ths clears up some of the background for those paying attention. I suspect Mr Thalmann will persist with his own very individual view of the world. (As endorsed by his Byron United beatification – prior to him sinking his team at the last election.) Cr Tom Tabart

Don’t become a victim of drink spiking Sadly I was a victim of drink spiking at this year’s Splendour Festival. It was shocking and scary and the ugly side of going out these days, a side I had never expected to see first hand. I’d arrived by myself with the intention of hooking up with friends I knew to be inside. I’d sent out some texts and was waiting to hear back. I’d only been there an hour or so, it was not dark yet. He was a friendly chap, we chatted for about half an hour before I mentioned I needed to go get a drink. ‘Did I want some of his water...’ Sure. Thanks. There were no alarm bells, nothing to suggest he was anything but genuine.

What happened next was possibly the single most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me. Within 15 minutes I became confused, disorientated, unable to walk or talk, I knew something was very wrong. My new ‘friend’ suggested I lay down at his campsite outside for a while, he would help me there. It seemed like the only option at the time, I could not comprehend things, see straight or go anywhere by myself. He helped me through the crowd. Luckily, even in my confused state I knew I had no reason to trust this person and felt sus-

picious. Stumbling on, I tried to think of options. I don’t remember how, but I broke away and lurched into a market stall we happened to be passing. I had no idea where I was. The stall holders were kind and recognised that I had been drugged and helped me. They got me to the First Aid tent where I stayed all night. Whatever was in my system left me sedated and unable to move or function for hours, although I was awake. What would this man have done to me had I gone to his ‘campsite’? Raped and robbed me? More than likely. He could have done anything he want-

ed. I couldn’t scream or fight back. We love our festivals, we go to have fun, listen to music, possibly discover something new, meet interesting people. Into the mix come predators too. They think nothing of taking your choices away and taking advantage. It is premeditated and evil and the people perpetrating these crimes could be anyone, any face in the crowd. I am lucky that my outcome was the best possible, although I am still left with a terrifying experience. Others may not be so lucky. I urge everyone, particularly women of any age, to be careful, do not accept any-

Unfortunately those responsible have used hype and not substance to motivate. The reality is that the course to be trained to be an assessor costs $1,500. Then you only get paid $140 per assessment. This is of course only if you are registered (which has another fee) and only if the government department gives you work to do the assessments. Not to mention that you have to travel to a capital city locale for the training and to Sydney for the assessment as neither training nor assessment for registration is offered via distance training or online. So, spend a bunch of time and money and afterwards maybe you will make some back. Sounds more like starting your own business, although I didn’t know that the government is a franchiser. So does this mean that soon you will need to purchase a licence to be on the dole?

animals, birds and habitat are decimated there is no return. It is strange that the very thing that attracts people to areas is what is destroyed by greed and inappropriate development. If you find somewhere special, don’t tell anyone.

The recent Brunswick Heads Kites and Bikes Festival was also an opportunity to raise funds for Our Kids. Our Kids raises funds to purchase equipment for the local hospitals to help keep our children local. Rebekka Battista, fundraising coordinator for Our Kids, organised the purchase of two resuscitation trolleys for the Byron and Mullumbimby hospitals from their donation. ‘It was a wonderful weekend and to raise funds for the hospitals was a great effort,’ Rebekka said. ‘Our Kids thought it was very appropriate to buy equipment for the hospitals where the festival took place.’ Festival organiser Kim Rosen said, ‘The Festival was really focused on families, which is why we chose to support Our Kids.’ The two resuscitation units have just been delivered to the two hospitals, which will help the nursing staff care for the increasing number of children and adults who use the services. www.echo.net.au

Comment

Fluoridation and freedom of choice Water fluoridation is back on the agenda after renewed lobbying by the NSW Department of Health. After Ballina Council recently changed its mind in favour of it, pressure is now mounting for Byron Shire Council to support fluoridation so that one dosing facility can be installed for the entire regional water supply. Advocates of water fluoridation argue it’s a safe, effective and socially equitable public health measure, while opponents maintain it’s an outdated dogma and an infringement of basic rights. Even if fluoride does protect teeth from decay, it doesn’t necessarily follow we should support water fluoridation. Scientific literature reveals the jury is out about the mechanism of fluoride action on teeth. Dental professionals recently compared topical and systemic fluoride action and concluded it’s the topical application of fluoride in toothpaste and mouth wash products that is most beneficial. The authors also point out the research underpinning the idea of fluoridated water is based on studies from the 1940s that have not been verified since. NSW Health also recognises the effectiveness of topical fluoride and states, ‘Toothpaste containing 400 parts per million fluoride ion is effective as a caries preventative agent.’

Gaps in the data A comprehensive review of scientific literature by the National Academies of Science in 2006 found many gaps in the data about the long-term health risks associated with exposure to systemically ingested fluoride. The authors found evidence for levels of fluoride exposure from drinking water with increases in tooth enamel fluorosis and called for more research on potential links with skeletal fluorosis, bone fractures, bone cancer, joint pain, thyroid damage, mental and physiological changes and dementia.

Whatever your beliefs about the risks of fluoride, or its effectiveness, the addition of a medicinal substance to the drinking water supply is fundamentally an ethical issue. As individuals we have a right to reject an uncontrollable dose of a compulsory medication in our water supply. It’s expensive to avoid and is harmful to some people. Our elected representatives have a duty to protect our basic rights. Since the introduction of the NSW Fluoridation of Public Water Supplies Act in 1957, fluoride has become abundantly available in toothpaste and mouthwash products, yet the policy of water fluoridation has not been revisited by Parliament in over 50 years. Continuing to push councils into water fluoridation when there is now an effective and affordable source for those who choose it, is not socially equitable and infringes on individual rights. Fluoridation advocates deflect the ethical dimension of this debate with quasi-scientific arguments about whether fluoride is in fact a ‘medicine’ or an ‘essential nutrient’. But surely, by claiming fluoride prevents dental caries, regulators are

things won’t go wrong. Overdosing happens and recently occurred in Queensland where 4,000 people were affected when their water was overdosed with 30 mg/L, rather than the 1.5mg/lL maximum permitted. Three safeguard systems failed, allowing the overdose to occur. Acute fluoride poisoning has also occurred in other countries when dosing went wrong and led to fatalities among people on kidney dialysis. According to the NSW Code of Practice for the Fluoridation of Drinking Water Supplies the purity of fluoride chemicals added to drinking water varies and impurities such as heavy metals, including lead, can be present. Knowingly adding dangerous contaminants to our water supply, even if levels comply with guidelines, is unconscionable. The community is entitled to suggesting it’s a therapeutic a supply of clean, uncontaminated water and to be allowed and medicinal substance.

What is the justification for funding the fluoridation of the entire water supply when perhaps less than one per cent of that water ever gets drunk? It’s a waste of taxpayers’ money. With a significant number of people in this Shire not even connected to the mains water supply, the money would be better spent providing access to dentistry and educating people about effective oral hygiene.

‘Binge smokers’ face high cancer risk The Cancer Institute NSW, is warning that part-time or ‘binge smokers’ are as at much risk of cancer and other smoking related diseases as regular smokers. New research by the Cancer Institute has found more than six in ten smokers aged 18 to 24 admit to ‘binge’ smoking as well as 56 per cent of smokers aged 18-39. ‘Unfortunately, many people who smoke once a week or only in social situations don’t realise that their risk of cancer is as high as a regular smoker,’ said Anita Dessaix, Manager www.echo.net.au

Cancer Prevention. ‘International research also demonstrates evidence that smoking and drinking alcohol together significantly multiplies the overall risk of cancer, especially in cancers of the head, neck and oesophagus. ‘As quantities of smoking and alcohol consumption increase, the cancer risk also increases. Smoking and drinking heavily increases the risk of laryngeal and pharyngeal cancers by about 35-fold and the risk of oesophageal cancer is about 13 times higher.”

‘It seems that some smokers, especially young women, may be careful not to smoke during the week, but are overdosing on nicotine with upwards of a packet of cigarettes on the weekend. The message to part time smokers is that while there’s a high risk of cancer and other diseases caused by smoking, there are also immediate and long-term health benefits in stopping smoking for good.’ Smokers should talk to their doctor or pharmacist about stopping smoking today, or call the Quitline on 13 QUIT.

The Mullumbimby High School library was all a-buzz recently and it had nothing to do with the riveting reading. Nineteen students from years 9–12 got all excited about foundation and mascara in preparation for their graduation from the Beauty Therapy Training Australia’s Make-up Application and Design course. Course organiser Kim Mitchell was prompted by a few of the girls to find out about the course. ‘Some of the girls asked if they could do the course in beauty therapy they had heard about information from the careers officer Troy Williams at Mullumbimby High,’ said Kim. ‘We were lucky to have Angie and Julie from Beauty Therapy Training Australia let the girls do the Certificate II in Applying Make-up and Design here at the school.’ The course was held over 11 weeks, the girls were tutored for two hours a week and in the last week they completed a one and a half day intensive. At least five girls are hoping to pursue this as a career and on the day Tulla Carson was awarded most improved and Melati De Jong won an award for great design work. Teacher for the course Julie Hilsum was very impressed by

the girls’ work. ‘The girls started out 11 weeks ago,’ said Julie. ‘I can honestly say, that by graduation, I was thrilled with their imagination and application. Their technique was superb and they were all very eager. They have improved immensely and I would highly recommend that a couple of the girls pursue make-up as a career.’ On graduation day, the girls

worked for six hours to design and create the final product which produced a high quality result. Beauty Therapy Training Australia’s principal spent time with the girls assessing the result and was pleased with the work. ‘They all learned a lot,’ said Kim. ‘It was a great journey giving them all insight into career paths and Beauty Therapy

Training Australia is offering more short course through school in eyelash and eyebrow tinting, nail techniques, body washing and a whole lot more. It’s a great opportunity for the girls, we really appreciate it.’ If you would like more information about Beauty Therapy Training Australia’s courses, visit their website at www.beautytherapytraining.com.au.

Comment

Why should electricity providers have power to burn? time east of the Great Dividing Range, there is also the potential for more use of biomass for energy production from the by-products of our rich agricultural industries. The Environmental Defenders Office last week lodged with the Australian Energy Regulator, on behalf of a community group based in the Dumaresq Valley west of Tenterfield, the first ever challenge on behalf of a community group to a company’s compliance with the regulatory test under the National Electricity Rules. In nature conservation, coastal planning and organic farming, in the past this region has been at the forefront of innovation. Although reliable data are hard to get, we also appear to have made a small contribution in the energy field with a relatively high uptake of solar power and hot water systems. But there is much more to do. We have yet to take up the challenge of how we can collectively increase our regional energy self-sufficiency. The EDO and other organisations will host an energy futures forum in the not too distant future to discuss this issue in more detail.

Mark Byrne

Energy is a hot topic. Use less. Use it smarter. Grow your own. All to stave off a looming climate catastrophe – and hopefully save some money in the process. Yet the Northern Rivers is planned to be the beneficiary of two new electricity transmission lines, together costing $227 million. They would carry mostly coal-fired power from the national grid through the interstate interconnector west of Tenterfield down to Lismore to service the north coast’s increasing population and energy usage. TransGrid is the governmentowned monopoly builder and manager of transmission lines in NSW. It warns that within the next decade this region could suffer major power outages during the winter evening and summer afternoon peaks if one of the main transmission lines delivering power from the Hunter Valley power stations breaks down. Since the end of 2007, transmission lines, like other major infrastructure projects with government backing, do not have to go through the formal environmental planning process that has been in place in NSW since 1979. No environmental assessment is

required, nor does the public have any right to be consulted, unless TransGrid has to negotiate with you to put its lines through your property. All the company has to do is to satisfy the market-driven National Electricity Rules and the project is done and dusted. All so we can enjoy our electric heaters on winter evenings, air conditioners on summer afternoons, and plasma televisions all year round, without interruption. There are three big problems with this proposal. The first is that TransGrid appears to over-

estimate future energy demand in this region. Peak and overall demand has been leveling off in recent years. This trend can be expected to continue with greater state and federal government efforts to tackle climate change, as half-hearted as they presently may be. The second is that, in this market economy, the left hand makes more money if it does not talk to the right hand. TransGrid wants to spend hundreds of millions of public money bringing electricity down from Queensland on the grid while Metgasco awaits ap-

proval to build a gas pipeline up from Casino through the Border Ranges to Ipswich to fuel a new power station there. The third problem is that TransGrid appears to have made little effort to find out what new power generation projects have recently been constructed, are in the pipeline or are possible on the Northern Rivers. Its reports indicate that it is unaware of the new cogeneration plants at the Broadwater and Condong sugar mills, and the proposal, currently before the Department of Planning, for a gas-

Mothers wanted for pregnancy study active during pregnancy including weight management, lower risk of high blood pressure, better physical wellbeing and an increased ability to cope with stress. ‘My passion is in women’s health and exercise. There is not a great deal of research about pregnancy and I’m hoping this study will lead to the development of pregnancy exercise programs,’ she said. Anyone who is interested in taking part in the survey can contact Nellie via email at nellie.buckley@scu.edu.au or on 66203 230.

Survey participant Sally Charters, with her children Eva, 3, and Sian, 1, and Nellie Buckley.

Mothers whose youngest child is aged between 12 and 18 months are being sought for a new research project investigating physical activity during pregnancy. Nellie Buckley, who is completing a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science Honours degree at Southern Cross University, is looking for mothers to take part in a survey which will look at activity levels before their pregnancy, during the pregnancy and now with a young child. www.echo.net.au

The survey will be posted out to the participants, who can be located anywhere, and the information provided will be confidential and anonymous. ‘I’m investigating how pregnancy changes the physical activity levels of active women,’ Nellie said. ‘I’m looking for mothers who are not pregnant and whose youngest child is aged between 12 and 18 months. ‘In 2004 the national guidelines were changed to encourage women to continue on

with normal physical activities as much as possible during pregnancy. Before that the recommendation was that women should cease sport while they were pregnant. ‘What I am looking at is whether that message is getting out. I want to know what women are doing. While previous research has shown that pregnant women decrease their physical activity, this may not be the case now.’ Nellie said there were numerous benefits in staying

fired power station at Casino. Together these projects could account for a decade’s worth of increasing energy demand. According to Metgasco, which is developing the Casino gas-fired power station, there is a lot more gas in the ClarenceMoreton Basin that could be used for local power generation. TransGrid also appears unaware of the extent of local uptake of rooftop solar power and solar hot water systems.

Just as his plane was touching down from the US, I shot through a bunch of questions to find out just what makes international comedian Tommy Dean tick. Were you a funny kid? Recent family reunions have suggested I was… but I don’t remember it that way. I remember trying to be serious and people laughing at the way I told the story. Kinda the way it is now… When did you know that you were a comic? What was the turning point that made you go, yep, that’s what I’m doin? I was handed $100 after doing 15 minutes at a fraternity gig. Right then I knew what I was going to do for a while! Who are the comics that most influenced you? Bob Kubota, Randy Kagan, and a variety of other home town comics I grew up with. I also had the good fortune to have as my home club the Tempe Improv. So I was seeing the best club comics week in and week out. A great education. Where do you find inspiration? I believe it finds you. Are you a prolific writer… or do you prefer to hone your material on stage? I suppose I’m asking you about your comic process? Stage. I think comedy is a cross between a blacksmith and a fairy floss maker… both require the high heat and pressure to make things come out the way you wish.

How would you describe yourself on stage? I wouldn’t. I have never seen myself there. But if I was forced to answer… I like to think I am relaxed, honest and focused. Why Australia? It was where the love was. What excites you most about comedy and being a comic? The moment just after the MC says your name… nothing compares to that little metaphysical vortex that you must step through to get to work. Worst ever gig? Cheese throwing college girls who had their karaoke interrupted for a comedy night. While it was horrible I would honestly say I was on their side. The promoter should have sent us comics home. Best ever? Six nights at His Majesty’s Theatre in Perth. Knowing you are walking into that place sold out every night is pretty awesome. Give me a brief run down on one day in the life of Tommy Dean… Feed the kids, wash up after the kids, do the kids’ laundry, lunch for the kids, take the kids to activities, get the kids, dinner for the kids, bath the kids, get the kids to bed… do a gig. Tommy Dean features at the Byron Services Club Pandanus Lounge on Monday at 8pm. Tickets are $15/20 from the club or booked on 6684 3443.

I GIVE UP When I was a kid I was constantly punished for not bringing mission money. Sister Theresa, the penguin clad dominatrix aka bride of Christ, was sent to the home for mad nuns the very next year, but not before implementing 12 months of religious terror that would warp my brain forever. Mission money was sent to other mad Catholics in the third world to administer nourishment via food and Jesus. Every week I begged my newly widowed mother for money for the poor. She’d refuse, proclaiming ‘but we’re poor’, and then I’d be subjected to another round of public humiliation from my sweet faced dementor who would hold the donation tin in her wretched claw and proclaim ‘Now we’ll write up the names of all the children who don’t

My knees were red for a year. Man, they should have had that evil bitch on the street collecting for Greenpeace. Whales would be so wealthy by now they’d have their own fishing boats and be harpooning Japanese swimmers in revenge. (Of course it would be sustainable and purely for scientific research.) In preparation for a panel I’m chairing at the Writer’s Festival, I’ve been reading Peter Singer’s ‘The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to end World Poverty.’ As fat, sleek, comfortable first worlders, it’s about our obligation to the poor, those 1.4 billion people living on less than $2 a day. Singer posits that if we can afford to buy something like bottled water, then we can afford to give. It’s an uncomfortable truth. But he’s right. We are a nasty bunch of global resource hoarders full of excuses and puff about why we aren’t responsible for the fact that thousands of kids starve to death every minute. Occasionally our kids starve too, but mainly from anorexia, a mental disease that makes you think you’re fat. I don’t imagine there has ever been a Rwandan anorexic.

Our definition of poverty is not being able to afford a second car, or take the kids to Dreamworld or keep up the botox treatments. Even our most economically disadvantaged citizens are affluent in the face of world poverty. The unemployed can still buy beer, a bag of pot and play the pokies. They can even scratch it lucky. It may mean their families live on Home Brand noodles for a week and cereal is washed down with a box of UHT Long Life milk from a Vinnies care hamper, but they’re still doing OK. According to Mr Singer, they could even afford to give 10% of their income to the poor. The shocking thing is, the more economically disadvantaged always tend to be the most generous. It’s the rest of us middle class wankers who are the real tight arses. I’m not pointing the manicured finger – my life, when examined, is full of unnecessary privilege. Not giving at least 20% of our income is immoral. Those rich bastards can’t just make the odd tax deductable donation either. They need to be giving away at least 50% of their evil empires. Hopping into your expensive car, staying at your five star resort, wearing those designer jeans, building that enormous house is the moral equivalent of

You see, I’m horrified by a world where there is such inequity, but I won’t stop having my hair coloured and donate that $1000 per annum. I buy my kids Converse when they could wear $10 KMart runners (although they are made by starving Chinese children) and every time I’m stopped by a charity who want to take a regular donation out of my bank account via direct deposit I mumble a feeble excuse and move on: ‘I’ve got cancer and I’m late for chemo.’ I was mortified when the girl from the Cancer Council bumped into me in Target. Every time we buy a piece of clothing we don’t need, or throw food in the bin we are complicit in the povertyrelated deaths of thousands of fellow humans. It’s doing my head in. I want to do something. But I don’t. Even my delicious $3.20 latte lasts like guilt. It should. That’s two people’s daily food budget. I contemplate a few Hail Marys on my designer wooden rosary. But it’s only for my own salvation. I drop $20 in the Amnesty International donation tin chained to the bar of my local pub. (To stop our poor stealing from the world’s poor). It’s not enough. My knees have gone red in shame. Oops, I’m late for my massage.

FISHERKING AT BEACH HOTEL ON SUNDAY

while We Don’t Walk and Yamanote Line both received a huge national pasting via high rotation on Triple J. The earlier part of 2008 saw the band sell out a national tour with bluejuice, be bestowed with the honour of being asked to program Rage and somehow, fit it all in between festival appearances at Parklife, The Playground Weekender and many more festivals and club shows to boot. Late 2008 saw the band take some down time whilst main man Jai Pyne did some travelling and writing in New York. They then regrouped to write and demo new tracks in Byron Bay, two of which appear on the Howl EP, the rest of which will surface on their next album proper, to be released early 2010. A sweaty catharsis of energy and vitality you can catch for yourself at the Hotel Great Northern.

Lisa G Li Gair i When Lisa Gair opened her kiln on the work for her present exhibition, she laughed her head off. ‘You feel the amazement of how all that clay comes together and creates a full story.’ In this instance the story is Alice in Wonderland; whimsical, witty sculptural pieces. ‘I am a figurative artist. My tools are clay and fire.’ Gair is one of five artists whose exhibition Heated Words is at Brisbane’s Fusions Gallery. Four of the five women are from the Northern Rivers: Gair and Catherine Lane (Uki), Deb Cocks (Tyalgum) and Avital Sheffer (Durrumbul). It’s curated by Bob Connery of Stokers Siding Pottery. Gair’s inspiration comes from words. ‘I take a sentence, a lyric or something someone has said and I work through a process of free association. I pick up a theme and I’ll start drawing and writing and that will give me ideas. I try not to censor what I make. A story evolves.’ The starting point for this current show was a trip to Sydney to an exhibition of Charles Blackman – Gair’s favourite artist of all time. ‘All the Alice paintings were together and when I came home I made a few Alice in Wonderland pieces. Then when Bob Connery came to me with the idea that all five artists would base their work on a book, he asked me if I’d continue with Alice in Wonderland.’ Eventually Gair ended up with a lot of ‘crazy characters’ and realised that the story was really about her own life. ‘Alice

sta started to look a bit like me. So it’s down the rabbit hole.’ Eit Either the well was very deep, or (Alice) fell very slowly, for sh she had plenty of time to look ab about her, and wonder what wa was going to happen next. Or Originally from Melbourne, Ga Gair has worked as a ceramic art artist in the Northern Rivers for around 15 years. Four years ago, looking for a permanent space, she set up Studio 9 in the Uki Buttery. Presently she has two other artists showing in the space: Steve Davies and Catherine Lane. All three of them will run workshops from the studio. Gair is passionately absorbed in her work. ‘There’s a million shows to do and only two hands. It’s fascinating to work with clay, always surprising. I love the stuff.’

Writers Festival: Art Visitors to the Writers Festival will not only enjoy the literary arts. Sculpture will be on display. Curated by Dev Lengjel of East, the work of ten local sculptors traverses the medium. ‘It’s one way of keeping sculpture in the public eye,’ said Lengjel. The work, which will be installed by August 6, is by John Dahlsen, Susie Olsen, Allen Horstmannshoff, Mimi Dennett, Teah Fort, Wendy Johnson, Daniel Clemmett, Dev Lengjel, Jeanette Krohn, Erika Mayer and Suvira McDonald.

Since then Macleod, who came to Australia from New Zealand in 1981, has won a clutch of art prizes including the Sulman (2001), Blake (2006) and, this year, the Gallipoli. He has shown at galleries throughout the country including, in 2008, the Tweed River Art Gallery. Now we can look forward to another Macleod exhibition. The Tweed River Art Gallery has been awarded $30, 415 from the Commonwealth Government’s Visions of Australia program towards the development of a touring exhibition: ‘Surface Tension: The art of Euan Macleod 19912008’.

Need a plumber? That’s easy: yellow pages, local papers. Need an artist? That’s much more difficult. But local artists Lesley Gail (Escape Gallery) and Gloria Roszkiewicz have the matter in hand. With seed funding from Tweed Shire Council’s Cultural Development Program, they plan to publish a series of coffee table directories that will showcase the work of local artists. The first publication will promote the work of fifty local women artists. If you are interested in being a part of this initiative or for more information phone Gloria on 02 6679 5395.

Marele Day The Writers Festival book launch scene in East of Everything was painfully hilarious modern farce. But it was definitely not a taste of things to come.

Fidelity. That cinema feeds off itself in perpetuating the image of the cool bad dude is partly the point – check out the fabulous scene here where Dillinger, at the movies, identifies with Clark Gable’s suave, bold crook in Manhattan Melodrama. Michael Mann’s latest film resembles in many ways his more tautly written Public Enemies and compelling Collateral – If you weren’t aware of the the action is largely nocturnal fate of John Dillinger before and the viewer is asked seeing this then you just to barrack for the villain haven’t been paying attention. (admit it, you loved it when Warren Oates and other outlaw Tom Cruise blasted those specialists had fallen under homey hoods) – something a hail of G-men’s bullets in easily complied with when numerous accounts of the an actor as attractive and celebrity gangster’s career long accomplished as Depp is in the before everybody’s favourite, role. The period is beautifully dapper Johnny Depp with a recreated – architecture, pencil-line moustache, came wardrobe, automobiles, music along to rob banks and plug (would a white crim from the coppers full of lead. Those backwoods of Indiana have with better memories might listened to Billy Holliday?) – but even recall that the anti-hero’s ambience is superficial when demise took place outside social context goes missing. Chicago’s Biograph Picture America is in the midst of the Theatre, courtesy of John Great Depression, but you Cusack pointing it out in High don’t get a sense of that. Nor

transplanted organs and body tissue in the dogged fight to defeat the disease. Now eleven, Anna has had enough of the needles and hospitalisations and is unwilling to undergo the operation that will relieve her of one of her kidneys. However, as a minor, she has little say in the decision, so she hires a billboard lawyer and charges him with arguing a case for the emancipation of her body from her mother’s control. It could only happen in California, huh? Nonetheless, the ethics of modern medical practice and the degree to which courts might rule on moral questions (the euthanasia debate is not unrelated to the matter at hand) are provocative subjects, but they are ones which co-writer/director Nick Cassavetes treats as side issues, preferring instead to aim at the easier emotional targets of the family’s suffering and the schism caused by Anna’s action. The movie’s PR talk was all about Cameron Diaz’s jump from her rom/ com comfort zone into a part as harrowing as that of the girls’ mother. She is unmadeup and dressed down (in ug boots, even) and, because the audience’s sympathy is with My Sister’s Keeper Anna, she must also try to The thing about death is that elicit compassion for a woman it doesn’t compromise, and whose obsessive maternal when it stalks our nearest and instincts have blinded her to dearest we have no fall-back to the cruelty she has shown a uniformly adhered to way of her youngest child – a tough coping with it.

Noodle This is a small charmer of an Israeli film, directed and cowritten by Ayelet Menahemi. Noodle is about two sisters left with a small Chinese boy after their cleaning lady steps out for half an hour and inexplicably doesn’t return. They can’t speak Chinese so they dub the boy ‘Noodle’ because that is what he consents to eat. The way the story evolves is as surprising as the way it begins, when the character Mira, who plays an air hostess, suddenly finds

herself responsible for a little boy with whom she cannot communicate. As the little boy gradually becomes a precious part of her family, little does Mira realise the impact the child will have on her life. It has unexpected depths, this film, and even manages, quite unobtrusively to draw attention to the plight of illegal guest workers, refugees, in Israel. It’s an enjoyable feel-good story that builds up slowly but delivers plenty of emotional reward. ~ Lounge

is Mann overly concerned with keeping an iron grip on his narrative, there being moments when time, place and characters are less than clearly defined. I was mixed up a couple of times, but plot is not of paramount importance in a genre as stylised as this. Billy Crudup’s penchant for staginess works a treat in his portrayal of the odious J. Edgar Hoover, but Christian Bale’s arch performance as Purves, the relentless pursuer of Dillinger, is paper thin when compared with Depp’s masterly effort. Marion Cotillard is a dream as Billie, Dillinger’s moll, but because they do not spend a lot of time together their relationship never takes on the all-consuming passion of Bonny And Clyde – only when Dillinger sees her being taken away by the FBI does their love become apparent. Visually sumptuous (shot on HD digital, it’s a poke in the eye to traditionalists who valiantly assert the superiority of film), with gunfights that are not too tedious, you’ve seen it all before, but never with as much bling – or the mighty Johnny Depp. ~ John Campbell

Television Guide 1. Robin Wright Penn stars with Jude Law in Breaking And Entering (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm), a drama about social tensions in Europe which failed to overly sway critics or viewers. 2. The commercial channels are a wasteland on Saturday so you might as well try to spot your favourite local landscape in East Of Everything (ABC1, 7.30pm). Kathryn Beck plays the dizzy Lizzy. 3. Little Miss Sunshine (TEN, Sunday, 8.40pm) was one of the best films of 2006, hilarious and touching in turn. Abigail Breslin as the young girl in question is brilliant among a stellar cast which includes Alan Arkin and Toni Collette.

Reviving the corpus of Australian literature Macquarie Pen Anthology of Australian Literature, General Editor: Nicholas Jose (Allen & Unwin $69.99 hardcover) Moya Costello

It’s a moment filled with tenderness if not pathos to see a feather sailing through the air as the image on the Macquarie Pen Anthology of Australian Literature symbolising the fate or nature of our literature. There has been notable debate and complaint in literary circles about so much of Australian literature, primarily that deemed to be in the canon, being out of print – although equally noting what is available online in digitised form. As Nicholas Jose, general editor of the anthology, writes, the feather stands for indeterminacy, reinvention, openness to redefinition, open-endedness, survival, social agency, disruptiveness, trespassing, and power, grace, and beauty. Being airy and mobile are good qualities for a national literature, better than being‌ well, dead and forgotten. Jose has suggested that there is no

corpse but a corpus of Australian literature as ‘a living field of enquiry and engagement’ (the ‘regular presence of Australian authors on international award lists’, for example). This anthology follows the 1990 Macmillan one, which itself is out of print. It ends with Vietnamese-Australian Chi Vu who is among writers ‘established by 2000’. The first Aboriginal writer in the collection is Bennelong with a letter to Arthur Phillip; and the last: the thirty-seven-year-old poet, Samuel Wagan Watson. In between there’s the Gurindji land petition from Vincent Lingiari (‘We, the leaders of the Gurindji people, write to you about our earnest desire to regain tenure of our tribal lands ‌’). Kev Carmody’s song about the petition, ‘From Little Things Big Things Grow’, is also there. For those readers passionate about and devoted to Australian literature, there are disagreements to make about selections. I’ll take as my case study the work from Amanda Lohrey, the prologue to Camille’s Bread, which I might

say is not representative of either that novel or her larger oeuvre. Her novels are highly politicised encounters in the practice of everyday life. Her essays equally dissect politics at a national level. Nevertheless, this choice of Lohrey’s work is clearly aimed at suggesting ‘interesting connections and telling contrasts’ which make us sit up, take notice, and rethink and reshape our vision of our national literature. For the prologue might indeed be an encounter with the politicised everyday. And Lohrey’s work is changing. Her recent book, Vertigo, is a novella, a pastoral, and is both realist and magicalrealist. It reads like a song, a poem, and though earthy in its subject matter (sea-changes, bush fires, and the death of a child), it is unearthly in its resonances. And it is published by a small independent Australian press. Just so we don’t find the anthology too quirky as to cause confusion and defy meaning, there are well-known and wellloved choices: an extract from Patrick White’s Voss, and ‘The Prodigal Son’ (‘In all directions stretched the Great Australian emptiness, in which the mind

)RXQGLQJ VSRQVRU RI WKH %\URQ %D\ :ULWHUV )HVWLYDO 3URXGO\ VXSSRUWLQJ WKH IHVWLYDO VLQFH LWV LQFHSWLRQ

is the least of possessions ‌); Helen Garner’s ‘The Life of Art’ (‘“throw yourself on the alternative life ‌ which is what I mean by the life of art’’’), a story that hangs in my head like a talisman, and is always taken up enthusiastically by some writing students as a model of practice. Among the poets: John Forbes ‘Stalin’s Holidays’, Ania Walwicz ‘Australia’ (‘you try to be friendly

but you’re not very friendly’) and Gig Ryan ‘If I Had a Gun’. Among extracts from plays: Hannie Rayson Hotel Sorrento and Louis Nowra Radiance. Children’s fiction: from Of a Boy by Sonia Hartnett. And creative nonfiction: from Robert Hughes Culture of Complaint, and Drusilla Modjeska Stravinsky’s Lunch (‘those wonderful paintings, dense with yellow, in which a cupboard door swings open ‌’). Another quirky yet intriguing aspect of this anthology is

the biographical note on the writers. While there is no comment on the actual story ‘The Life of the Party’ that represents the selection for Murray Bail, nevertheless Kerry Goldsworthy’s biographical note dissects his novel Eucalyptus: ‘Saturated with literary references and allusion, Eucalyptus is also a gender-reversed echo of the story of Scheherazade‌ and a rewriting of the classic George Eliot novel Middlemarch’. Anthologies can only ever be a sampling: as Jose writes, best to think of ‘indicative’ not ‘exhaustive’. The great role for this anthology is to establish the connection between our ‘vibrant contemporary’ writing and its ‘literary antecedents’, to remind us that the sailing feather has come from somewhere, is afloat and heading in the right direction.

Hector is a lonely boy and his only friend is Minton, a salamander. Hector has no family and is first seen by Minton shooting right out of the volcano near which they lived at the edge of the world. Hector was HOT, literally. He was also very lonely and would have settled for a cuddle from an octopus, a squeeze from a boa constrictor or even a lick from a lion. One violently stormy night he was blown to the ground and while clinging to a tree, he was eventually blown out to sea. Minton came with Hector because he was so hot on the island. Hector and Minton found salvation at a Viking village and meet a friend called Gilda. Hector was hated by all the other villagers because he was weird, with his flaming hair and half naked body. One villager made a special request: her baby was suffering frostbite and her request was that Hector breathe on the baby and the frostbite was healed, because Hector was the hottest boy who ever lived. When it was night time, Hector came to the community hall and shared his hotness by giving saunas, hot chestnuts, toast, warm baths and made dinner for everyone. As the villagers became aware of the value of Hector, they came to be affectionate and appreciated his special heating skills and they gave him all the hugs that he had so badly missed. Next day, he made holes for fishing in the ice and got ready to make some more toast. Hector lived happily ever after with

Anna Fienberg, author of Tashi and the Ghosts.

Minton and Gilda. I think this is a great read for children aged 10-12 years and while it started slowly I would still give it nine out of ten as I think this is a fantastic book. Tashi And The Ghosts, Author: Anna Fienberg, Illustrator: Kim Gamble Reviewed by Zoe Sheridan, 3W, Byron Bay Public School

Tashi and the Ghosts starts off when a little boy, Jack, is eating his dinner with his mum and dad. He tells about Tashi’s adventure, scaring off the ghosts. Tashi conquers his fears and saves the town from the ghosts by telling the ghosts that he has a ghost friend who would gobble up the moon. That night there was a lunar eclipse and the ghosts are forced to believe that Tashi’s friend must have super powers. The ghosts are so frightened that they clear off forever. But to make sure they don’t return, Tashi told them that every now and then his friend would

make the moon disappear, just as a reminder. Anna Fienberg’s writing flows smoothly with vivid descriptive passages and characters that are interesting and that easily engage children, mostly between the ages of six to nine years, with this excellent story. She has painted a picture in her readers’ minds with ease. Kim Gamble has illustrated the story with very simple pictures that help tell the story with excellence. I recommend this book to children who like adventure and excitement because of the engagement and imagination it contains within its pages. Pearlie In The Park, Author: Wendy Harmer, Illustrator: Mike Zarb Reviewed by Tammy Chung, 3H, Byron Bay Public School

Pearlie in the Park is a great 49 page story about a fairy named Pearlie and all the little animals in the park. It starts with Pearlie doing

jobs for the park to look cleaner. She does everything she can to improve its appearance. She even polishes the dragonflies’ wings. The park may be in order, but you should see her very beautifully carved stone shell: it’s very messy! Soon after that, Pearlie makes a list of tasks for the animals to do. But it doesn’t work exactly how Pearlie expects because two naughty ratbags thought it would be funny to change the list around. When Pearlie awoke, all the animals were doing the wrong things. Pearlie seeks out the ratbags. Feeling really angry, she heard some laughter so tracked the noise to a drain. Pearlie looked down and saw the villains, but what did she do next? This story is great. It has very colourful pictures that caught my attention as soon as I saw the book. I like the structure of the story. I hope one day I could write a book like Wendy Harmer. I recommend this book for eight to twelve year olds.

Poetry to the Max is the prize passion He won in 2003 and for the past three years has been one of three selected finalists. Local poet Max Ryan says he’s looking forward to this year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival Poetry Evening, for the chance to share the stage with some of the giants of Australian poetry, in addition to finding out whether he will be announced as the winner of this year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival Poetry Prize. Originally from Newcastle, Max has been a resident of Byron Shire for 16 years. ‘I still say I’m a Newcastle poet,’ he says. ‘People don’t really live here in Byron,’ he adds with a smile. ‘So I tell people I’m a Newcastle poet, on extended leave in New Brighton.’ Poetry doesn’t pay, he says, but it has become his passion. He writes most days, usually poetry, with the odd short story thrown in, and he reads a lot of poetry too. ‘It’s a real slog writing,’ he says. ‘Writing poetry is quite hard. A lot of people think it’s just like writing short prose, but it’s more difficult than that, refining the language, making it all work.’ Practice obviously makes perfect. In 2005, Max’s book, Rainswayed Night, published by locally based Dangerously Poetic Press, won the prestigious Anne Elder Award for the best first book of poetry published in Australia that year. He says he’s also on a bit of a roll again at the moment, getting things published regularly. For example, his poem, ‘Journey of the Beatles Fan’, is about to be published in ACP’s Blue Dog: Australian Poetry magazine. This is one of two poems that Max will read at the Poetry Evening on August 7, along with his short listed en-

More than 250 entries from 91 poets around the country were received for this year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival Poetry Prize. From some outstanding submissions, judges Peter Bishop (Varuna House) and Brian Purcell (Renaissance Manuscript Services) have selected three finalists – Alexandra Bates from

Peter and Felicity had used precisely the same recipe – possibly by Charmaine Solomon – for their Date and Lime Pickle. And yet, in a beautiful illustration of how two people can utilise the same ingredients to create the same dish with quite different results, the samples they pressed upon me could not have been more dissimilar. Both were gorgeous but whereas one was dense and rich, the other was translucent and tangy. Both, furthermore, were perfect accompaniments to the soft cheese, as opposed to curry, for which I chose to employ them. The date had become almost indecipherable, although its presence gave a sort of sultry mellow depth. A strange fruit, the date – more accurately a drupe, borne of the date palms found around Iraq, with archeological evidence of its cultivation going back as far as 6000BC. It is often regarded as the indispensable staple food – the palm itself in parts of Arabia referred to as the ‘tree of life’ – because it manages to flourish in regions where no other highly nourishing food plants are able to grow. Like deserts. It could even be considered an ideal food, being a premium source of

Vitamin C and potassium, high in fibre and full of protein, fat and useful mineral components like copper and iron. Its sugar content is about 80%. Dates are lush and soft and sweet, and often there is not a great deal of difference between the fresh and the dried. They were called ‘finger apples’ in Europe in medieval times. In the thirteenth century Marco Polo encountered them in several places including Southern India where he was particularly impressed by a wine made out of them, noting that it ‘makes a man drunk sooner than grape wine.’ Jaggery, or palm sugar, is the sweet sap which comes from the date palm. I would love to come across date honey, made from the juice of fresh dates: dates and honey sound made for each other. Iraq to this day remains the major producer of dates, with 87% of the world’s exports, although in the early 20th century the industry started up in the Coachella Valley in California as well. Every year the town Indio holds a ten-day festival to celebrate the date, featuring on each of those days the enactment of a different tale from the Arabian Nights. Perhaps I should have my

own stab at the Date and Lime Pickle to see what other version I come up with. Except I love to do other things with dates, most notably the Date and Polenta Slice I have been making for years: crumbly, buttery shortbread enclosing dates perfumed with cinnamon and lemon. It’s ever so slightly reminiscent of Date Pillows made by Arnotts which my grandmother would bring us on her Tuesday

afternoon visits – even though we giggled inanely about their squashed-ants filling, very little could beat that first mouthful of teeth sinking into plump pastry then colliding with the dark jammy interior. Dates, honey and walnuts all call out to be brought together in a batter for steamed puddings, muffins, cakes or loaves, with the heady richness of the date somehow subsumed, dissolved into all the other ingredients so that it becomes an exotic seam of richness. Sticky Date Pudding just never seems to – well, date. You feel somehow self-righteous when you order something with dates in it – or at least wholesome. Below is a dessert which, if you closed your eyes briefly to the modicum of cream, really is almost wholesome. DATE AND BANANA DELICE 250 gr fresh dates, pitted 300 gr ripe firm bananas 150 ml pure cream, whipped 2 tblspns demerara sugar Make a layer in the base of a shallow dish with half the dates, then cover with half the bananas. Dollop over half the cream and spread smoothly. Repeat the layers then sprinkle with the sugar. Cover with plastic wrap then chill for an hour before serving.

Head trainer and brand ambassador for Belaroma Coffee is a young man called Scottie Callaghan who in addition boasts the titles of World Barista and Latte Art Champion. In his quest for understanding coffee he spent eight years travelling the world, attending courses and reading countless books – and has recently come up with his tips for the Perfect Cup of Coffee, which include the following: 1. Buy a grinder and grind your beans freshly as you need them and just before brewing. 2. Avoid stale supermarket coffee (the precious oils will have dried up). 3. Keep your equipment clean, be it espresso machine or plunger. 4. Experiment with different brewing techniques and approaches – eg put different amounts of ground coffee in your machine to see what happens to the flavour; try out different single origin coffees. 5. Master ‘The Pour’ – the heart of espresso coffee. It should look dark and flow like a tablespoon of honey. 6. Enrol in a coffee appreciation course. Or just keep frequenting your favourite cafĂŠ and let them make it the way they know you like it!

Three enterprising university students recently won the 2009 Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology Student Product Development Competition with some glutenfree biscuits called ‘Soyers’. Each year this competition is open to undergraduate students with the aim of promoting professionalism and innovative thinking as well as showcasing the originality, talent and team skills of the students. David Chua, Trevor Goltz and Sarah Crennan from the University of Queensland created their soy-based ‘toppable’ biscuits for not only gluten allergy sufferers but also the mainstream market. Highly commended went to a team from the University of South Australia – Tina Wong, Yuk Yue Yeung and Tuy Loh – who designed Tai Chi Balls: chewy, fresh, light balls made of a gelatinous rice mixture enclosing nutritious fruit fillings of mango, honeydew or mixed berries.

Byron bows to Bangalow in locals battle

Bangalow travelled down the hill to lock horns with the Bay last Saturday, playing for the annual ‘Crombat’ trophy. In the first round the game ended in a 3 all draw in the mud up the hill, so there was everything to play for in this local derby. Byron came into the game as heavy underdogs being close to bottom on the table, but on pa-

per this was going to be no easy ride for the Bangalow boys. Byron claimed the first points with a well worked play through their backs, finally delivered by Byron’s Mitch Loane. Bangalow tried to get back in it but a combination of solid defence and poor ball control saw good field position go to waste. Finally winger Brad Peat crossed of a set play to level the

scores at 7 a piece. With Byron playing with the wind, they needed more points and it came off yet another Bangalow mistake, with their slick fly half Nigel Magnay, jumping on a loose ball after a good chase to take the scores to 12-7 going into half time. With the wind in the second half Bangalow needed to play field position, build possession

and limit their mistakes. Coach Simon Balcon laid down the law, and the team responded. Richard Collins came on at outside centre for Bangalow and ran a great line of a set play to crash over under the posts for a converted try to put Bangalow on top. This seemed to inspire the boys and they continued to dominate proceedings. Dick crossed over again in the corner off a nice cut out ball from Dan Hill. With 10 minutes to go Byron lifted knowing that a converted try would level the scores. Bangalow defused countless try scoring opportunities by Byron and went close to scoring a few more themselves, in a fast and furious closing to the game. The game ended at 19-12 in what was a great contest, played in the right spirit on and off the field. Bangalow points went to Dan Hill-1, Richard Kelly-2, and Brad Peat 3 points and player’s player in another commanding display. This weekend Bangalow plays the Mullum Moonshiners in yet another local derby at the Brunswick sports fields. This will be a great game for spectators and one not to be missed. Game starts 2pm.

34 August 4, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

The festival of the bat revs up The urge to play cricket is a classifiable mania and usually only treatable by old age or death. In enlightened communities such as ours it is tolerated or even tacitly encouraged, as it is reasoned that the many hours participants spend in mutual flagellation would otherwise occur in open society. Nick Shand was well-known as a profound sufferer of cricophilia and would go to unadvisable lengths to organise a game. Assorted acquaintances, employees and family members would turn up at the ground, some bribed, some pressured, and some not knowing how they got there, as Mr. Shand was not above using a combination of extreme persuasiveness and red wine to assure attendance. Often this would produce disastrous results on the field, but when the Echo team finally cracked it for a win in 1994 you could tell that this enigmatic and successful man had ticked a niggling ambition off the list. Since Nick Shand’s death the cricket series played in his name has tried to uphold the tradition of everyone getting a fair go, and fun outweighing results. On Sunday the ‘09 series got under way at Lomath Oval in Mullumbimby, the hardened hill men from Left Bank taking on the Byron Full-Tossers, a very committed bunch of sport enthusiasts bent on taking the fabled trophy, an angelicwinged purple crystal goblet made by Colin Heaney, east of

the highway for the first time. The Bankers won the toss and batted, but found the going tough early as Troy, Levi, Guru and Wayne gave away less than the Burmese foreign office. Only the talented Nick and plucky Kiwi Greg bothered the scorers much. Skipper Russell was run out without facing and the Tossers were swarming on the ball like bream hitting a slice of bread off the Brunswick boat harbour. Eli anchored the innings with 30 but no one could go the distance with him, the Bankers mustering a fairly measly 117. Shoreshank was in need of no redemption, his 2-14 the best bowling figures. The Byron lads then showed they have plenty of quality in the batting department, Christian, Troy, Levi and Jan spanking the ball around like a leather-clad fraulein taking to a F1 boss’s behind with a riding crop, the win coming in the 23rd of 33 possible overs. The Geckos have a great tradition to uphold in the Shand series and currently are trying to fill the team list for next Sunday’s clash with the hyped up hippies of Main Arm. You may be a keen cricketer wondering what to do with the winter hours, or a pommie backpacker intoxicated with England’s performance in the ashes. If you read this you already qualify, as lightly scanning the Echo is the only requirement for selection. Call the Echo office on 6684 1777 and we will put you in touch with the selection panel, and who knows, maybe your sporting fantasies.

Reports of Devils’ death wildly exaggerated John Campbell

Remember when Scott Sattler dropped the runaway Todd Byrne and kept Penrith in the 2003 grand final? Well, something similar happened just before half-time in Byron Bay’s nailbiting 16-10 win over arch rival Mullumbimby on Sunday. The Giants were ahead 10-6 and the Red Devils, after a month of poor results, were staring down the barrel of an ignominious decline that might see them finish out of the Five, with no opportunity to defend their title. The visitors’ two tries, to captain Andrew Moroney and half-back Chase Nelson, were embarrassingly soft – they both sauntered through gaps the width of the Sydney Heads – and, though the Bay were not lacking in effort, Mullum were steadier, more sure of themselves and gaining the ascendency. Centre Ryan O’Connell had crossed for Byron after Dean Allen, a calming influence throughout, tidied up some all too typical aimlessness on the sixth tackle to find space for his centre to dummy past his opposite. Now they were back in the Giants’ twenty and, against the run of play, threatening their opponents’ line – albeit without any obvious sense of how they might reach it. A Devil’s wayward pass was intercepted by Nelson and a deathly silence descended on the mob in the western outer as the number seven set sail for the clubhouse end of the

field. No defenders were within cooee of him … until … out of nowhere, a red shirt came blazing over the horizon. It was full-back Brad Lees – Byron’s most consistent through good and bad – and he hit Nelson like a scud missile. Not in one of those cute, text book, around the legs Steve Mortimer covering tackles, either, but a hammer and tong, ball and all, ‘get this into ya’ piledriver that both buried Nelson into touch and, in retrospect, resurrected the Premiers’ floundering 2009 campaign. Needless to say, the

home supporters went berko and, more significantly, Byron got to the sheds only four behind. The second stanza was an arm wrestle. Byron’s execution was still wanting, but the commitment that they had been accused of lacking – a grievous charge to lay at the feet of any football side – was clearly evident. Mullum kept hammering away and at any moment could have sealed the victory – prop Dan Molenaar was held up under the posts – but they were re-

peatedly repelled by last-ditch defence. With twelve left on the clock and Byron bereft of any ideas that might get them a try, winger Duane Cahill – Yul Brynner in footy boots – took matters into his own hands, ran from dummy-half and planted the ball over the line to level the scores. His conversion was sweet as. Byron were ahead and the local derby atmosphere was torched. A touchie’s ruling denied the Giants a try in the corner soon after, their five-eighth

Battle weary Rams march on With four games in 11 days, the battle weary Byron Bay Rams showed no signs of weakness in their 5-2 demolition of a relatively fresh Lismore Workers outfit. Brazilian Thiago Priori signalled his return to form with a brilliant cross to Tom Ruhl to score in the first 10 minutes of the match, however, a set play from the Workers sent a low drive from Anthony Alvos past Keeper Kai Connell at full stretch to even the score soon after and it was game-on! Young utility player Yantra Whitling used his pace to work his way through the Workers midfield and defence and cut a ball across goal to Jordy Campbell who pounced on it and smashed it into the net. Whitling scored soon after from close range in a goalmouth scramble after two other Rams shots were blocked by a nervous Workers defence. In contrast Rams defenders Ian Lennie, Aaron RichterSteers and Jonathan Pierce all looked formidable after returning from major injuries.

Five minutes in from the half time break the Priori’s cross to Campbell caught the Workers keeper Thomas Chen off his line and Campbell chipped the ball over his head to take the score to 4-1. Although the Rams outclassed Workers all over the park in the second half, complacency crept in and allowed the Workers strikers some extra space and Cory Loft clawed back an easy goal. A desperate tackle brought Campbell down in the Workers box, however he wasn’t able to convert the penalty, with a brilliant save from the Workers keeper. Not to be put off that easily, he soon made amends with a fantastic hat trick goal after a pinpoint passing display through 4 Rams midfielders. This 5-2 win sends a warning that the Rams will be on the warpath to the semifinals and are determined to keep their spot in the top three of the competition table. The next game will be at home against Ballina.

Mullum to Bruns Early Birds The Mullum to Bruns Early Bird entries will close this Sunday, so don’t leave it to the last minute otherwise you won’t catch the worm and get a discount on your entry. Early Bird entries sent by pigeon post, need to be received by Friday August 7. Walkers will find the Mullumbimby Public School’s P&C Association will have breakfast available before the event – coffee, hot chocolate, bacon and egg rolls and breakfast muffins will be served, the proceeds will go to the school. The breakfast will be a great social warmup before the actual warm up before the race. There will be a free massage available for the finishers at the Banner Park Housie Shed from 9 am. Rainbow Dragons Abreast will also paddling from Mullum to Bruns. Leaving Mullum at about 8am, they expect to be at Banner Park at about 10am. This year the funds raised for Scott Hogan was marched for mouthing off at said touchie and, as the seconds ticked away, a knock-on from Mullum’s Jason Willis drew cheers of approval from the red crowd that were as raucous as any heard all day – you should’ve been there. As icing on the cake, Allen, changing the point of attack, grubbered to Cahill’s wing on the last and the King of Siam won the race to touch down for the 16-10 scoreline. As Sunday arvos go, it was up there.

the event will be shared between the P&C Associations of Mullumbimby Public School and Mullumbimby High School, as well as the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad and the Indigenous Australia programs of Oxfam. The Rescue Squad, the two P&C’s and the Uniting Church will be providing numerous volunteers to ensure the event will run smoothly. Mullumbimby Library has also embraced the event and have a display about the Mullum to Bruns and fitness.

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

ARIES: You’ll adore this week’s entertaining games and dramatic shenanigans, but there’s definite problem potential if you’re being too forceful while someone else is having a fragile moment. Friday has accidents waiting to happen, so take care on the road, computer and even more importantly the tongue. TAURUS: Your own sensible selves are ruled by reason but this week’s all drama, attention seeking behavior and entertainment: an astropicture guaranteed to reacquaint even the most stay-at-home Tauran with their inner party animal. Not to mention rocketing you out of any comfortable rut you’d settled into… GEMINI: Even if the time doesn’t seem right, it’s worth considering an offer to sell an asset, as a follow-on effect could work well for you. Avoid signing contracts till next week though, keep things simple and don’t decide until every fibre of your being cries Do it.

In the six weeks since ticking that last box needed to become a Grandmaster, David Smerdon (pictured) has gone on a remarkable winning streak, culminating in victory at the ANU open last weekend. With the pressure off, having finally achieved the required Grandmaster ranking, Smerdon has taken out four titles - the NSW Open, the Oceania Zonal on the Gold Coast, Adelaide’s

LEO: This is a peak week for Leos, though generous gestures and must-have extravagances could cause an uproar in the disorderly house of your wallet. Apart from that it’s your cat majesty’s astral duty to transmute dreary energy through as many lavish belly laughs as you can.

SCORPIO: Apart from Friday’s edgy energies, which need some fancy footwork and tactful handling, this week’s bravura brightens your perspective, adjusts your mindset, heightens your star quality and attracts some hot new admirers to the pleasure centres of Planet Scorp. Lucky you.

VIRGO: A premium week for making connections: business, personal and creative. But it’s dominated by fire and air elements which combine to produce yes, hot air, so take whatever’s inspiring from the pyrotechnic play of grandiose ideas and expansive promises but don’t rely on follow through.

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s celestial warmth reboots your zest for life in general and adventure in particular – though if its red hot social calendar has you on the run, be aware that too much multitasking will make you accident prone, especially round Friday’s racy Sagittarius moon.

Right now others need attention and plenty of it but they’re definitely not into criticism, so if you can’t find something to admire, hold your fire. AQUARIUS: If you’re in the mood to live it up and seize the day, this week’s high spirits and lavish laughs should satisfy your appetite. For Aquarians in a more moderate mode (are there any?), a bit of cheek will be appreciated and bold moves applauded. PISCES: This self-publicizing week urges you to showcase your ideas. Or yourself. It admires flair so go ahead, dress to impress and knock their socks off.

LIBRA: Be patient with ego trippers this week, because someone who could be extremely helpful to you financially is likely to be one of those trippers. Use the F word to your advantage (not that one, though it’s tempting) because flattery works a treat on this week’s people.

Sharing the good life through education growing a following. We’re looking to connect and practise our art – Drawing for Beginners, Acrylic Adventures, creating Fabric Sculptures for your garden and home. Look at what we’re hoping to do with our lives. That’s what this interest means to me: we’re saying, this is the type of life and world we want. So let’s start. Which brings me to compassion. Specifically a course called Last Aid. Run in conjunction with the Byron Hospice Service, this course teaches how to be of genuine service to those who have chosen to die at home with family and friends. It can lead on to you being a carer, sure, just like the swathe of community-focussed certificate courses. But can you see? It’s saying more – so much more. That it’s here, on offer; that it’s popular. It’s real. We’re aware of the circle of life, and we’re stepping into it. Growing food, raising families, making community, respecting and honouring our elders and life itself. All the while keeping our links to the bigger picture; learning how to make the most of computer technology and websites. How to link up. It’s just one little shire. It’s just one little community college. But we’re learning - it seems to me – how to dig in, and how to hold hands. There’s more going on, of course, in and amongst our lives – community groups and family obligations and careers. And one community college may not be an exact sign of what and who we are and yearn to be. But it’s one place to see something of what’s going on, and I just wanted to share it. I just wanted you to know you weren’t alone.

Peter Shepherd

The signs are that people in the Byron Shire are looking toward compassion, good food, deep health, and technological savvy. And that’s not some impression convenient for tourism – it’s gleaned from what people are choosing to do with their increasingly hard-earned time. OK, so it’s not some expensive independent survey; it’s me, where I work at Byron Community College, looking at what types of courses people are enrolling in. But who says small samples can’t say a lot? It’s been cold, I guess you’ve noticed. So getting out and doing stuff, especially at night, is impressive. If it wasn’t for a really good beanie I’d be giving more of my money to the DVD shops. Other people are with me on this. There’s a bunch of people keen to learn how to make Indian Bread – an exercise deep in warm fires, curries and company. Sri Lankan Cooking also has a troupe in the kitchen, learning what puttu and rotti means. And look at this: Acoustic Guitar and Piano are filling up. For me that’s speaking of community as well as creativity. We all want to gather together. Which makes sense when there’s talk of gloomy times. And we want to be practical: Chooks in Your Backyard is an instant best seller. Who’d have thought we have a love affair with chickens? But it’s an old relationship, and one that gives the word ‘sustainability’ a feathery and ethical localness. (It’s a few steps to their egg shop and, in payment, you only have to feed them scraps.) It follows on from the megahit of Growing Backyard Vegies, practised by more and more urban backyardies around the shire. And composting. Even ■ Peter Shepherd is Writer in the tour of a sustainable com- Residence for the Byron Community in The Channon is munity College.

Strengthening self and relationships course How often do you react to people and events in less than wholesome ways or hold back from expressing real self? If you find this happens in your life, then Byron Community College’s course, ‘Gestalt: Finding Authentic Self ’ will show you how to respond rather than react, and how to get some very different outcomes. The tutor, Gayle Russell, is a trained facilitator, teacher and Gestalt psychotherapist with many years of experience. ‘This program has been life-changing for many people and I often hear afterwards of some profound changes people make in the way they have been living their lives. One participant reported that his

way of dealing with issues was through anger and aggression. We all know this one: blame the other person. Through the course he learnt to deal with issues that came up in his life in a totally different and constructive way and he stopped blaming others. These outcomes are the reason I do what I do,” said Gayle. The four week course, starting on Thursday August 20 (10am-1pm), will be highly experiential with clarity and safety assured. For more information phone Byron Community College now on 6684 3374 to book you place, or phone Gayle on 6684 1119 to discuss further. The course will be held in Mullumbimby.

Having got little assistance from Indian police, lobby group Crime Against Tourists has set up a website to expose injustice at www.touristsafetyandjusticeindia.com/. It’s creating a stir already – apparently an ABC journo was unable to access it from inside India – and Four Corners is likely to take up the case related to well-known local, the late Dawn Griggs. â– â– â– â–

Locals thinking of going over the Gateway Bridge to the airport in Brisbane should be aware that cash tolls have now gone. If you don’t have an appropriate e-tag you’ll have to contact Queensland Motorways to pay the toll after the event – plus a 40 cent fee.

The dangers involved in mining uranium include not only environmental impact but also the people you’re required to associate with. The new uranium mine approved by Environment Minister Peter Garrett will be owned by a subsidiary of one of the world’s biggest arms dealers. Colourful American billionaire James Neal Blue is a director of Quasar Resources, the company that will control the Four Mile mine. Back in the 80s Mr Blue described himself as an ‘enthusiastic supporter’ of US involvement in a covert war against the left-wing government in Nicaragua. ‘World’s best practice’, Peter, might be not to get into bed with Mr Blue. Discover the colourful history of the Blue family in the San Diego Reader at www.sandiegoreader.com/ news/2001/jul/12/generalatomics-color-it-blue/.

And speaking of air travel, international airline Emirates has announced a travel pass that will offer overseas visitors discounted travel to Byron Bay from 99 global destinations, flying within Australia with Virgin Blue at reduced costs.
