RELEASE THE INNER GRUMP

Mothers to protest

Small blocks spark big fears David Lovejoy

Many Mullumbimby residents have expressed misgivings about the 90 hectare development known as Tallowood Ridge Estate along Left Bank Road. The 31 lots of the first stage are extremely small, some only 600m2, and although the full development may consist of 200 lots there will be no master plan released. The fear is that piecemeal approval will set a precedent for tiny urban blocks to proliferate all through the building land available between Left Bank and Main Arm roads. Mullumbimby resident Sheryl Harper told The Echo, ‘Small urban blocks nearly three kilometres from the centre of a small town are totally inappropriate… Along the Tweed coast and in southeast Queensland there is a sea of metal roofs with barely room for a tree or a patch of greenery. It is ugly, inappropriate and environmentally unfriendly. Is this the sort of development we want to allow in our town?’ But developer Eric Freeman denies the lots are inappropriately small and maintains they are larger than required. He said on Monday that the lot size deliberately tests the provisions of the Mullumbimby Development Control Plan (DCP), which specifies that ten per cent of a greenfields development should consist 450-550m2 lots, in the interests of affordable housing. ‘Council also wanted to resume five per cent of the land to build housing itself,’ said Mr Freeman, ‘but state laws do not allow this to be enforced.’ Instead Mr Freeman said he plans to provide integrated house and land packages in stage three of his development. ‘Three bedroom homes on blocks 12x34m should sell for less than $400,000,’ he said. The planning instruments under which development takes place are sometimes contradictory. Despite the DCP, Ms Harper points out that the Mullumbimby Settlement Strategy 2003 ‘specifically states in relation to the area in question that it should comprise “larger lot

sizes to reflect country lifestyle”.’ Ms Harper said, ‘As you travel out along Left Bank Road, the higher density blocks currently stop at Tuckeroo Avenue and beyond that Maleuca and Brushbox Drives have lot sizes of around two acres or more. The proposed Tallowood development shares a ridge with these properties at the top

of Maleuca Drive, they are located on the very same hill! ‘What justification then can be given, other than the developer’s profit, for such a drastic reduction in the lot size literally a few metres from these existing developments?’ Mr Freeman says he is open to feedback from the community on his

plans and has arranged for a website (www.tallowoodridge.com.au) to go online shortly to facilitate comment. Public submissions on stage one of the development close on Friday (August 28) and these may be sent to council@byron.nsw.gov.au quoting 10.2009.314.1. ■ See letters, page 12.

How do you visualise Tweed Street? For the past three months consultants appointed by Byron Shire Council have been working with the Brunswick Heads community to develop a master plan for Tweed Street – the old Pacific Highway. The process has produced 40 maps, including 15 from Brunswick Heads Public School students. Malcom Price, from the consultants Social Habitat, said, ‘Overwhelmingly, responses have supported slowing traffic, narrowing the road, reintroducing trees and making better, safer provision for

pedestrians and bike riders.’ He said there was a clear indication that the central part of Tweed Street, between Booyun and Mullumbimbi Streets, should become a ‘marketplace’ linking it back to the commercial centre of town. Most proposals wanted to see the remainder of the road revert to a slow, leafy village street. A constantly updated storyboard on the project is on display at the Brunswick Heads Visitor Centre in Park Street. There will be a series of meetings

for people to comment on the draft plans. These currently include the Chamber of Commerce, Monday August 31, 6pm at the Brunswick Heads Bowling Club, and the Progress Association on Monday, September 7, 7pm at the Memorial Hall. Council agreed in 2008 to fund a Tweed Street master plan to guide the makeover. In May 2009 Social Habitat was engaged to begin the planning process. The proposed new look for Tweed Street will be presented to Council prior to going on public exhibition.

The hours and funding of community health nurses are being cut by the North Coast Area Health Service and local mothers are not happy. A group of them is organising a protest at the Bangalow Community Health Centre on Monday, August 31 at 10am. Saving the sanity of first-time mothers is only one function of community health nurses. Two full time nurses in the Byron Shire were, up until about a year ago, on hand to cater to the many needs of mothers in the area – but since cutbacks in their hours and in the funding available a lot of women are feeling very anxious. According to one of these women, Nicole Steel, there has been a dramatic increase in births in the Shire, averaging now around 366 a year, and she fails to comprehend why the reduced hours have not been reinstated. Along with shorter weeks for the two nurses has been an increase in their administrative and bureaucratic workload. Nicole, who gave birth to her first child six months ago, told The Echo that the previous ‘access to the two nurses made the women feel powerful and reassured.’ ‘I don’t know,’ she said, ‘where I would have been without them…they made everything feel all right.’ Through the antenatal and early childhood classes at the Bangalow Community Health Centre she was able to forge a valuable network of friends, women who shared her experience. ‘It’s a sad state of affairs’, declared Nicole, words echoed by another mother, Freyja Smith, who spoke about being ‘a first time mum with no clue about babies… these nurses have provided invaluable support to myself and numerous other mums in the Shire.’ A group of such mothers is organising the peaceful protest and any similarly affected parents are invited to attend.

Marc Heyning hangs up his woggle Eve Jeffery

Local scout leader Marc Heyning is hanging up his woggle for the last time after over 14 years and the 1st Mullumbimby are sad to see him leave. Marc joined the group after one of his sons became a scout. After participating in a few activities as a parent, Marc soon became a leader in the group. Marc, who is also a well -known local physician, was a huge asset to the troop which, as all scout groups do, has had its fair share of cuts, scrapes and stitches and the lines between doctor and scout have often blurred as Marc has tended to many scouts over the years and has also turned up at the hospital in his scout uniform. He has actually delivered four babies wearing his neckerchief and woggle. ‘I remember once having to ride in the ambulance to Lismore with a woman in labour,’ says Marc. ‘When we got to Lismore Base, I escorted her into the delivery room. The midwife walked in and took one look at me and another at my scout uniform and pointedly asked what I thought I was doing. I told it was ok as I had my scout badge for first aid.’ Marc says that one of the best things about being a leader was getting to do everything first. ‘When we had adventure activities like the flying-fox, abseiling and high-rope walking, I always told the kids I had to test it out for safety but in reality I was having first go! I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the scouts and of this group.’ The children and other leaders have nothing but praise and appreciation for Marc, who over the years has held the group together through the good times and the rough, from when they had been down to two scouts to when their ranks swelled to 22. He continued to parade long after his three sons grew up and left the movement.

Marc Heyning flanked by fellow scout leaders Stephen Oliver, Ben Phillips and the local cohort at Saturdays’ farewell BBQ and challenge held at the 1st Mullumbimby Scout’s hall.

A cohort of present and passed scouts and parents gathered together on the weekend to farewell Marc with a BBQ and one last challenge – a rope walk, which someone suggested that he could do with his eyes closed: so he did. ‘Marc has put a lot into scouting over the years,’ says Ben Phillips one of the four leaders at 1st Mullum. ‘He has taught a lot of kids who are out there in life using skills they picked up through being in scouts. He

has taught me a lot over the last seven years on leadership and scouting skills as well.’ Scouts is for boys and girls 10½ to 14 years, to learn responsibility, life and safety skills, team work, leadership, endurance and have fun in the great outdoors and new scouts are always welcome. Though Marc leaves behind shoes which will be very hard to fill, the group is now looking for another leader to join the group – the job descrip-

tion calls for someone who is energetic, adventurous and fun loving. The candidate can be male or female but as the three remaining leaders are blokes, they troop would love a female leader. All training provided. Scouts meet Monday nights during school terms and some weekend camps and adventures. For more information about the local scouts or if you are interested in becoming a scout leader, contact Robyn on 6684 0231.

Fifth annual Art Expo shapes up Eve Jeffery

Five years ago, a group of Ocean Shores residents who had bonded through organising colourful and creative protests, realised that they needed a community event to continue bringing people together, but without the ‘opposition’ one has when fighting for a cause. The group came up with the idea of an Art Expo which would help express community ideas, ideals and local images, but in a free, positive and creative way. The first Art Expo was held in 2004 and the theme was ‘The Brunswick River Bridge’ which at the time was under threat of demolition by the RTA to make way for a new super highway. One member of the committee remembered painting around the foreshores of Sydney in the ‘80s to find that in later years those paintings were historically valuable, as buildings and jetties had disappeared to ‘progress’. The ideas and themes for subsequent Expo’s has been the the people and place in our community. The theme for 2009 is the ‘Seeds of Change’ the idea is to give artists a chance to respond visually to the many changes that are taking place in every

aspect of our lives and to envision changes we would like to see happen. With the support of the Expo’s generous sponsors, the annual show and its related activities has consistently provided a high quality event for all the community. Professional artists to beginners and kids to the elderly are welcome to enter artworks. Every kids’ age group is awarded prizes. Judges present the adult awards in five categories at the

Launch Party which this year is 7pm on Friday, September 18 at the Ocean Shores Community Centre. Over the Expo weekend art lovers and buyers have a chance to appreciate and buy affordable art from a huge variety of styles, sizes and prices. During the show there are history presentations by a local historian. Local musicians give free performances, community art projects are created and artists demonstrate paint-

ings from start to finish. A true community event, the Expo has expanded every year, with over 180 artworks and $3,500 in art prizes in 2008, and more than 1,000 people attending. All are invited to attend the launch party and the Expo weekend to participate in this cultural event and entries for the show close this Friday. For more information on the Expo and how to enter, visit the website at: www.osartexpo.com.

Lawyer offers pro bono conferences Victoria Cosford

Eureka solicitor Jonathon Tyndall’s offer of pro bono legal conferences has so far proven of significant benefit to its recipients. Conducted at Newrybar’s Harvest Cafe on Monday mornings, they are one-on-one sessions each lasting around two hours. According to Jonathon, of the 21 conferences he has conducted, all except one have resulted in the participants having ‘a better idea of how to resolve their problem’ and agreeing that ‘the pro bono cafe is a great idea.’ Most of the conferences deal with the fears and anxieties associated with bankruptcy and/ or loss of income, with major causes of stress cited as interest rates and repayments, reports of the grim economic outlook,

unfair dismissal from work and discrimination. Jonathon told The Echo that ‘participants had been unable to obtain a grant of legal aid due to (a failure) to meet LAC criteria (and are) all economically disadvantaged or marginalised persons.’ He has conducted five out of the eight conferences planned, including follow-up work on matters arising in conference. With three more to go over the ensuing three Mondays (from August 24), he would like to encourage the community to access this magnificent service, and ‘address those fears’. What makes this personally taxing work so worthwhile to Jonathon is that ‘the outcome has been very positive.’ To contact Jonathon call 6688 2492 or 0439 651 813, or Solicitor Jonathon Tyndall in conference with a client at the visit his website tyndall.net.au.

Local man wins case against M/soft Hans Lovejoy

So how is Ric Richardson dealing with the media frenzy? When the news broke in the US that he was awarded half a billion dollars from a Microsoft court case, all the media goliaths wanted a piece. ‘Along the way I got used to the idea that this will happen,’ he told The Echo. Instead of A Current Affair, Ric opted for ABC’s Australian Story, which he says provided him with a unique way to share the experience and his life as an inventor. ‘With Australian Story there weren’t interviews,’ he says, ‘and the producer made me feel comfortable. That let me talk more openly and personally.’ The Australian Story episode features the relatively new Byron identity and the company he founded in 1992 called Uniloc.

Piracy prevention Uniloc enables software companies to prevent pirating of their programs. It features machine-fingerprinting and implements multiple types and layers of protection like encryption, obfuscation and trip wires. IBM liked it, as did many others, however Microsoft infringed on his patent which led to the court case and payout. The film and music industries’ financial damage from piracy can be attributed to outdated business models unable to keep up with technology. Most are ‘unit shifting’ companies that in the past relied on physical sales when now the opportunity exists for digital. ‘There are more polite technological ways of slowing down the sharing of music and film,’ says Ric. ‘The problem is current technology is either on or off; it’s a black and white attitude. There is no fair use, like sharing with family and friends. In the end you irritate the people who want to do the right thing, or you force the people to pay but know there are others who aren’t paying. I designed software so you could try out the

software rather than having to buy it outright. That minimises copy abuse. By monitoring every copy with full licences it can open the gates for illegal copies.’ When asked if he plans to spend his money in philanthropic ways such as buying up apartment blocks and knocking them down for parklands, he laughs. ‘I had a look around at opportunities for investment; however, my area is inventions and technology which is where I prefer to work. My wife and I already donate to causes, which we prefer to keep private, and we have set aside enough for ourselves. We don’t want to use the money to live an exorbitant lifestyle.’ Clearly my grand ideas for fixing the Shire’s railways and a piano bar will go unheeded. ‘And besides,’ he says, ‘I’m only 47 and haven’t retired yet. Currently I am focusing on the next inventions and working on fast tracking them to being a reality.’ Ric says that the obstacle for inventors is generally dealing with the money men, and those men are in the US. ‘It’s about learning how to deal with the US,’ he says. ‘It slows down the process when money becomes involved. By the time an invention becomes wider knowledge and used by the population, it usu-

ally takes a decade or so. ‘Australia’s market is as big as the San Diego and LA counties, and despite it being an impressive market from Australia, they look at it in those terms.’ Ric says he is actively involved with helping inventors get a better chance of success there, though he says more Australian investment is needed.

Worship of youth ‘The US also relies on “schooled” education and assume that you need it to make breakthroughs. People would often ask me where I got educated. They couldn’t believe that I only had a high school education.’ The worship of youth in the US also causes obstruction of good ideas and innovations according to Ric. ‘I am amazed how smart older people are relegated. My mentors are all older than me and all the top consultants that I employ are around my age.’ The line between inventor and marketing the invention does not always create the best outcome for quality, he says. ‘The lightbulb by Edison is a great example. The original lightbulb design can last a hundred years yet we are sold ones that last six months. Once mass produced, it is out of the hands of the the inventor.’ Life in the US in the past twelve years was lucrative says

Ric. However. it was taxing on his health so the change of lifestyle in Byron is obviously a welcome one. ‘My business always went well in US for me, and the company was well funded. Byron is one of the most healthy environments around, and health is now a priority while I still focus on inventing. With Skype and video conferencing I can communicate with experts all over the world.’ All that while parked in a ‘mobile office’ van overlooking some of the most stunning beaches in the world.

Mullum High teacher wins scholarship Mullumbimby High School teacher Donna Pearson has been rewarded for her dedication to teaching and the environment with the Premier’s Energy Australia Environmental Education Scholarship. The Premier’s Teacher Scholarships is an initiative of the NSW Government in which teachers have a unique opportunity to undertake further professional development that will benefit them and most importantly their students. All NSW teachers from Government and non-Government schools, as well as TAFE NSW Institutes are eligible to apply for the Premier’s Teacher Scholarships. The program promotes an outcome where teachers will return to the classroom with new and inspired ideas, teaching methods and knowledge. Those selected to receive a scholarship can undertake international study tours and visit some of the world’s best schools and centres of education to expand their knowledge and understanding of key topic areas. This year, 24 teachers from schools throughout the state received a Premier’s Teacher Scholarship, covering 12 curriculum areas. Donna with her daughter Carey and Mullum High’s Principal Ian Graham attended a reception in the gardens of Gov-

Since the program began in 1999, 293 teachers across NSW have received scholarships and Ms Pearson is absolutely over the moon with her scholarship and will leave on her trip to Eu-

rope late in the year. ‘The purpose of my study tour is to investigate effective management and leadership of whole-school approaches to Education for Sustainability Development (ESD),’ said Donna after the awards. ‘I will be visiting schools that have effective leadership of whole-school programs in Environmental Education. I will visit schools in Bonn, Hamburg, England and Glasgow and I will be visiting organisations and government departments which support schools in the implementation of programs and in developing leadership capacity.’ Part of the tour will include a meeting with Bianca Bigram from UNESCO in Bonn and Eco Coordinators in Southwark Council in London and Glasgow Council. In addition Donna will be attending a national conference on Developing Sustainable Schools in London. ‘My aim is to examine the vital role of school leaders and leadership styles in developing and implementing holistic programs to ensure ESD.

It’s not always easy as a parent who wants the best for their children to make sure their child develops the skills they will need to manage their own behaviour and grow into happy and successful adults. The Byron Shire, as a community has a high level of interest in the wellbeing of children and many people actually come here to give birth or raise a young family due to its natural environment and supportive community who are interested in better methods of birthing, raising and educating children. There are many resources and support networks that are available to parents in our community. They offer help and guidance in positive parenting and support to families when they encounter difficulties and challenges. The Byron Shire Council’s website has links to many other websites that provide information for parents www.byron.nsw.gov.au/families/parenting/website. The Council also auspices the Care Parent Support Program which is funded by Department of FaHSCSIA (see advertisement on this page). The Ballina Byron Family Centre has a calendar of family events on its website www.bbfc.com.au. You can also download many ‘tip sheets’ from the YWCA website www.ywcansw.com.au/childrens_services.

CONNECTION is what we all look for and thrive on, mostly unconsciously. Parenting was never intended to be done by a couple in a nuclear family. Isolation is a major factor behind post natal depression. Evidence shows cultures that use cooperative parenting do better on child wellbeing.

Lighthouse attracts the quilters

Victoria Cosford

Faye Wastell, Coral Gough and Ellen Carberry with a quilt to be raffled for charity.

Late winter every year the quilt-makers come to the lighthouse. All women, there are usually around fifteen of them, ages ranging from 40-something to 70-something, coming to Byron Bay from various places like Banora Point and the Gold Coast and Murwillumbah. They come to quilt in two of the lighthouse cottages where

for ten years they have had a permanent annual booking. Over their long weekend they will put together each of the squares they have individually, painstakingly and beautifully been working on: the result will be raffled or auctioned to a nominated charity. This year the women, all members of the Tweed Coast

Embroiderers’ Guild, have completed their sixth quilt. Each 10”x10” square – creamy shades of pale gold and beige, like the delicate insides of shells – is a gorgeously detailed little work of art, some more elaborate than others. ‘It’s what they call crazy patchwork’, quilter Ellen Carberry told The Echo, although there seems nothing crazy

about the careful intricate stitching that has gone into the quilt. Nelda from Murwillumbah spins the wool she uses for her squares from the wool of nine alpacas she owns. They make beautiful wall-hangings, the women said. The one in the picture will be raffled at the Tweed Hospital Auxiliary Fete on Saturday October 10. Even though the weekend is mostly about embroidery there are other little rituals the women observe. On Saturday night they always walk up to the lighthouse. At twelve o’clock, midday, they down tools and pour a glass of champagne. Meals take the form of ‘five star’ casseroles, luscious gourmet meals prepared in advance and brought with them to the cottages. Coral Gough, who told The Echo she has been coming up to the lighthouse for over seventy years, noted how much the cottages had been ‘tarted up’ over the years the group has been coming, the decor improving with each visit. As much about the comfort of tradition, theirs is a story of the friendship of women and the way they unite through the creation of something lovely that is then given to a worthy cause.

Frank scores for Alberto

Dean Sewell (left) discusses the portrait Frank with its creator Alberto Sanchez. Of the more than 100 photos chosen to hang in the prestigious Olive Cotton portrait prize, Byron’s Alberto Sanchez was the only regional photographer judge Dean Sewell chose to highly commend. Sanchez said, ‘It was on a cold winter’s day in January and I happened to be in Madrid with my brother walking about when I noticed a coat hanger on the footpath in front of an old shop. ‘There was no signs or any indication of what was going on so I just went in for a look, only to discover Frank in the corner of this old furniture shop watching the tele, ignoring me and for that matter, the world around him.’ In commenting on the

image, Dean Sewell said, ‘In Alberto Sanchez’s Frank we share in the reserved consideration of his execution the intimacy and quiet so palpable, one can almost hear the humming coils of Frank’s electric bar heater. ‘This is complemented by the multi-layering of textures and the subtle hues of his confinements – the patterned wall paper, the terracotta bricks that anchor his vice and its transporting glow. ‘In this, we the viewers, are ourselves transported to southern Spain.’ The Olive Cotton exhibition of photographic portraits will hang at the Tweed River Art Gallery in Murwillumbah until September 27.

Comment

Libs and Nats on collision course Volume 24 #12

August 25, 2009

Corporate magnanimity Giant retail chain Woolworths is determined to make improvements to Mullumbimby. The little town currently has only two small supermarkets (although Woolworths itself in effect controls one of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mallamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;), and from the corporate perspective it clearly needs a city-style food outlet. Unhappy with the decision of Byron Shire Council that the land it intends to develop cannot handle on-site waste water disposal (sewer connection must wait until a new sewage treatment plant is built), and convinced that the town badly needs its presence, Woolworths is appealing Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision in the Land and Environment Court. Visitors and residents alike are deluded, the appeal implies, when they think that Mullumbimby is doing well. Although it is easy to believe, when looking around the town on a market day under the winter sunshine, that few rural communities function with as much harmony and prosperity as Mullumbimby, in fact the seemingly vibrant and diverse economy is on the brink of disaster, and only the urgent construction of a large shopping complex on the edge of town can arrest the decline. This is the gist of Woolworthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; PR and also the gist of what Mallamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; management told The Echo after they arranged to sell the site and business. According to them, Mallamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; motive wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t profit but concern for the future of the town; now Woolworths feels a similar altruism and insists on bringing us the benefits of cheap convenience foods. On its merits the appeal to the Land and Environment Court should fail, although who knows what other factors may be in play. But even if Woolworths has to wait a couple of years for the sewer to be provided, it is clear that the company will not give up its goal of building a big square box on the outskirts of town (in a narrow residential road) and thereby ridding Mullumbimby of the inconvenience of small independently-owned shops in the high street â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just as it has done in other places. If you are a resident or regular visitor who thinks the town is fine as it is, there is work to be done. A boycott of the new Woolworths when it is built has been mooted, but although this was successful for a while in Maleny, the corporate juggernaut can afford to outlast such displays of public dissatisfaction; if nothing else, the boycotters will eventually die of old age. Better somehow to persuade the company, before it invests any more money, that a Mullumbimby store will be a longterm public relations headache for its shareholders. The community needs help to find ways to resist, and now is a good time to start thinking outside the square. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David Lovejoy, publisher

the eccentric hayseed who presents as an easy mark but whose down-to-earth good sense eventually triumphs, Henry Lawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s archetypal bastard from the bush. When he arrived in Canberra many people felt that he would soon follow the example of his fellow Queensland maverick, Bob Katter and move to the cross-benches as a country independent; but instead he ascended to the leadership of his party in the senate, while still refusing to sit in Turnbullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shadow cabinet. Thus he enjoys most of the benefits of party membership with none of the constraints. Power without responsibility, perhaps, but power nonetheless. And Turnbull does not know how to handle him. Many centuries ago Aesop wrote the fable of the town mouse and the country mouse, each of whom envied the other his home. The townie thought his cousin led a simple life, with food in abundance and few dangers, while the yokel imagined the city to be a bed of luxury where no effort was needed to succeed. So they swapped roles for a week. Neither could manage the change, and each returned to his natural habitat admitting privately that it was the other who did it tough. This story has many morals, but one is obviously that there really is a difference between Sydney and the bush, and that the best politicians from each environment learn to recognise it and accommodate. Turnbull and Joyce havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and therein lies at least part of their problem. And until they do, the Ăźberrodent Kevin Rudd will continue to enjoy the best of both worlds.

The Byron Dental Surgery has been purchased by Dr Rod Whitehead as of July 1st from Dr Walter Lown. Rod is a 39 year old Canadian, who has spent the last ten years working in a busy Specialist Dental practice in CoďŹ&#x20AC;s Harbour. Books are now reopened and the surgery will be operating A FULL 5 DAYS.

All patients are welcome, including bulk-billing for â&#x20AC;˘ Medicare EPC patients â&#x20AC;˘ Veterans AďŹ&#x20AC;airs patients and Teen Dental Vouchers. Mention this ad and a Professional Bleaching Kit (normal value $600) will be oďŹ&#x20AC;ered for $250, complete with a complementary comprehensive examination. We would all like to welcome Dr Whitehead. We feel that his fresh ideas and international flavour will be a well suited addition to the Bay area.

Rally looms On the anniversary of the Terania forest protest which succeeded in preserving unique subtropical rainforest for all to share, the people of the Tweed and Kyogle shires are asking the people of the Byron Shire to stand with us to peacefully protest the inappropriate car races through National Parks adjacent to World Heritage rainforest which go under the banner of ‘Repco Rally Australia’. Like you, we are fed up with the random imposition of state legislation (in this case subverting no less than 12 previously enacted laws) leading to destruction of all we hold dear – our uniquely biodiverse habitat which share with our uniquely biodiverse fellow creatures and equally diverse fellow humans. As someone who has worked in the Shire, I know it is hard for Echo readers to step outside the Byronian comfort zone but it will be an educative and empowering experience to stand up and be counted. We will be wearing white to signal the purity of our intention and the importance of a healthy environment to the web of life, and we have arranged a culture camp for September 4-6 where you can stay and meet the indigenous custodians of our region while taking in the breathtaking backdrop of Mt Warning and the caldera. Let’s do some real caring for country together! www.norallygroup.org no.rally@yahoo.com

Recap on Splendour issue Dave Mullen (Letters, August 18), are you totally serious in criticising CONOS for taking legal action to stop the Splendour trial at North Ocean Shores? Let me explain. The trial festival would have gone ahead if CONOS had not taken action. Bob was simply saying that the trial was never the ultimate intention and in Splendour’s own statements they have said that at least four major and a number of minor festivals a year is their plan. Planting a few trees and doing a land swap (no, not giving) with DECC is just greenwash when taking into consideration the effect that 25,000 people a day by multiple weeks per year will have on the local wildlife and wildlife corridor, not to mention the strain on local infrastructure. The organisation, CONOS, that you so flippantly disparage, is the very reason why the Billinudgel Nature Reserve came into being in the first place. I could say, Dave, that if you are so enthusiastic about the benefits the festival will bring you why not in your backyard? However, after considering the pain that locals at Sunrise go through each year, I am rethinking whether Splendour has any appropriate place in Byron at all. I think it has outgrown and out-trashed us. And they want to impose on us three more a year! No thanks, mate.

Mac Nicolson

North Ocean Shores

Mr Fantin and Mr Mullen (Letters, August 18) seem to have been misled by some well crafted spin about the benefits of a proposed festival site at Dr Fiona McCormick Yelgun. Burringbar To clear things up a little, the More letters overleaf Byron Ratepayers Association, ■

CONOS, the Coalition For Festival Sanity in Byron, represent the hundreds of people who attended two packed meetings at the Ocean Shores Community Centre in 2007 to object to the planned move of the Splendour in the Grass festival to Yelgun. The Byron Ratepayers Assoc, CONOS and the Coalition for Festival Sanity also represent the 504 people who sent submissions to Council stating their objections to festivals at the Yelgun site. Two former councillors who were in favour of festivals at Yelgun were not re-elected in 2007. The majority of Byron councillors elected were against festivals at Yelgun. The community has clearly spoken. These are the cold, hard facts and irrefutable evidence of the strong feeling in the community which will be impacted on by festivals at Yelgun. Not to mention the wildlife who don’t have a voice. If that isn’t enough, the Land and Environment court ruled that building an access road through protected 7k habitat zone is prohibited and the site is environmentally and culturally sensitive. Which is exactly what the community has been saying. The land ‘transfer’ Mr Mullen mentions would actually be a land exchange between North Byron Shire Parklands and National Parks and Wildlife. Without this exchange of land the development could not proceed. The planting at the site and the placement of nesting boxes for wildlife was done with the help of volunteers and a generous $100,000 grant of public money. The bottom line is that this festival has a huge impact on Byron Bay as evidenced by the numbers of letters in local papers following the Splendour festival from residents talking

about the noise, traffic gridlock, and the behaviour of intoxicated and drugged people using the town as a rubbish tip and toilet. It’s understandable that Byron Bay residents would want this activity moved out of their town, but moving it to a completely unsuitable site is not the answer. Once the precedent is set there is nothing to stop anyone buying rural land for use as a festival site. Many residents in quiet rural areas could possibly be impacted by a festival next door to them. The question must be asked why should this (or any activity) be moved to a sensitive environmental and cultural site? There are no shops for supplies, no beach, no transport, no ambulance or hospital. People who may be affected by alcohol or drugs have to drive to everything. There are no local services to deal with any possible accident or worse. It’s clear no one in Byron Shire wants this activity on the property next door to them. Instead of allowing festivals to grow unfettered, our political representatives and the community should be doing all we can to limit the size and impact of festivals on the community and the environment. The ideal site for festivals is the new community owned Sports and Cultural site at Ewingsdale, which is close to all facilities. Our local and state political representatives must listen to the community. This is what we pay them for and it applies particularly to the state Minister for Planning. We will not accept out of touch politicians, especially those who are hostage to developer dollars, imposing this potentially disastrous activity on our community and the environment.

Smoke over Mullumbimby Has anybody else wondered about the grey ashes falling like snowflakes over Mullumbimby? Or had headaches from the massive camphor laurel bonfires? If the activities on the proposed Tallowood Ridge Estate are a demonstration of Mr Eric Freeman’s caring for the planet, I feel concerned. The rumoured 400 or so houses will call for some earth-friendly design that will reduce oil needs instead of increasing it. Take cars for instance; how about replacing that need with a tram that loops right around the development and includes Main Arm Road, Left Bank Road and Shearwater School? A master plan for the whole scheme that shows ecological consciousness is surely and sorely needed. Grassroots bottom-up Obama-style community involvement is probably the only way we’ll get it. The alternative is more headaches.

Mullumbimby It is imperative to have your say in the Tallowood Estate subdivision. This proposed development, located between Left Bank Road and Coral Avenue, will increase the township of Mullumbimby by 240-320 houses or nearly 1,000 people. A population increase of around 25 per cent! The DA on submission is

for stage 1, which is 31 blocks, just the tip of the development iceburg. As a community we deserve full disclosure on the complete subdivision, not just 10%. This way we can create suitable development to complement Mullum’s character (we all know development is inevitable, so let’s do the best we can.) Only when the Master Plan of the whole site of around 90 hectares is on the table can we assess issues of traffic, intersection upgrades, flood mitigation, flood free access, sewerage, power, water, open space, sports fields, the proposed community centre, storm water run off, bush fire risk, threatened species habitat, koala corridors, developer contributions, regionally significant farmland. These issues are required to be addressed by various legal planning instruments to realise the subdivisions full potential. Don’t have the wool pulled over your eyes by a 31 block DA. This is part of Mullumbimby’s biggest subdivision and the ad hoc ‘staged’ approach without over all planning and full scrutiny will be a disaster. In your submission, due this Friday, demand full disclosure by the developer submitting the master plan and also state no development consent is granted to connect to the Council sewer system until a second distinct DA is lodged after the sewerage

Mullumbimby Creek ■ The acrid pall of smoke over Mullum this week, due to the burning off of huge piles of wood on the Tallowood Development, seemed pretty consistent with the way the whole development is being foisted onto the community. I wonder if locals are aware that the largest residential development in Mullum’s history is currently being bulldozed into existence. Two hundred blocks are to be released for sale in stages, many only 600m2 to 700m2 in size. Two hundred more houses means up to four hundred more cars hunting for a park in town (not to worry, they can shop at Woollies – don’t think we’ve heard the end of that saga!). As with the Woolies affair, Tallowood developers seem to think that the sewage needs of our 800 new residents can be met with on-site gravityfed sewage processing. I don’t know much about sewage processing, but the ‘gravity-fed’ bit is a concern, since the lowest points on the site were underwater during our last flood. Has there been any public debate about such a significant change to our community? Is such concentrated housing appropriate on the rural margins of our town? I welcome newcomers, but we need to know there is the infrastructure to support them and that the development is in keeping with what the community values. We voted in a green Council. Tiny blocks filled with brick and concrete that periodically seep sewage don’t seem to fit the bill. Concerned locals should write to Council quick smart before August 28.

What Council funds The Echo is spot on in its editorial (August 18) encouraging people to support the Byron Bay Community Association (BBCCA) in its time of need. Even better would be the locals who make up the Byron Bay community, whose local community centre is facing financial difficulty, to pitch in and contribute funds. What I have learnt in my first year as a Councillor is that Byron Shire is only relatively small in terms of land, population and therefore rate base, yet it has more than its fair share of assets to manage, including the most rural roads per square kilometre in Australia. Roads on steep slopes in a high rainfall area means a very expensive maintenance program and yet we know how poor many of our roads and bridges remain. Our Shire has 569km of roads, about 90 causeways, many bridges, sporting fields, swimming pools and buildings to maintain, not to mention cemeteries and sewage treatment plants to look after and childcare, youth and aged services to support. And it has recently bought land into today’s market for community and other purposes, and is developing affordable housing sites, plus streets and dunnies to clean and beaches to maintain and cycle ways to build. So I think it’s a bit rich for the paid manager of the BBCCA to

tell a Council managing considerable assets and providing extensive social services across the whole Shire that ‘Council is about more than roads, rates and rubbish’ and that Council should basically ignore its budget process and approved management plan and find $80,000 to help an independent association pay their tax bill. Indeed. The history at the Youth Activity Centre in the Bay, where Council contributed over $200,000 to renovations to a building it does not own to a people who had no leases, only to have the owner, the Dept of Lands, sit back and say thank you very much, is a lesson learnt, let’s hope not repeated. Just as the good people of places such as Suffolk Park, South Golden Beach, Federal, Mullumbimby and Ocean Shores hopefully would support their local community centre in times of need, so we’d like to think that the good people of down town Byron Bay, Wategos, Belongil and Skinners Shoot et al, could financially rescue their local community centre in their time of need and not demand the rest of the Shire, via their rates, to financially bail out an independent association managing the most expensive community centre on Public Trust land (not Council land) in the Shire. Ratepayers have already given over $522,000 for the building in the past, plus rate relief for many years, contributions BBCCA management conveniently ignore. Cr Patrick Morrisey

Café passing As a frequent visitor to The Pass, I am sad to hear the café is to be closed while consultation occurs. It’s one of the joys of Byron to sit with a cappucino in a natural setting while my teenagers surf. I’ve seen many young people employed at the café over the years, so there go a few jobs for a year at least. Sure, consult – and maybe give the toilet a refurb – but please don’t go chrome and ‘upmarket’. Many of us like the unobtrusive facility the way it is. In the interests of consistency I hope for a similar shutting

Cultural Centre The need for a functional and affordable cultural centre has never been more pressing. The plan of management for the Ewingsdale sports fields and ‘cultural complex’ is somewhat woolly in its definitions of ‘culture’. The only certainty is yet another sports field within minutes of Bangalow and Byron’s existing facilities. With 14.5 million in the kitty there can be no resistance to investing a portion in a permanent structure large enough to accommodate art shows, cultural festivals and community music and dance events of moderate size. A structure which provides a year round presence for the thousands of artists, musicians, film makers and performers in this region and a focussed point of sale for the creative arts would be an enormous asset to our community. The inclusion of workshop facilities would permit a vigorous program of skill development in all facets of the arts and present endless opportunities for the creative youth of our Shire. A landscaped sculpture garden with a bookshop/coffee shop dedicated to the arts could be integrated with a cultural museum to honour the indigenous people of the region and to showcase Byron’s history. Many residents of the Shire baulk at the idea of limiting our ‘cultural’ investment to ball sports and sausage sizzles. Time to move the goal posts perhaps? Duncan Shipley-Smith

Case for fluoridation A recent article in The Echo (‘Fluoridation and freedom of choice’) attempted to make a case against the fluoridation of public water supplies. Proponents of public health measures such as water fluoridation welcome frank discussion and can understand the genesis of certain views and while unwillwww.echo.net.au

Letters ing to polarise communities are keen to correct errors of fact, and unsubstantiated allegations. Some people may have a philosophical opposition to water fluoridation but once the science behind it is understood, then it is possible to see its merits and why it is indeed proven safe, effective and equitable. The NHMRC is Australia’s peak health body for the achievement of the best possible standards for individual and public health. In 2007, it commissioned an exhaustive review to evaluate scientific data on fluoridation and concluded: ‘Fluoridation of drinking wa-

ter remains the most effective and socially equitable means of achieving community wide exposure to the caries [decay] prevention effects of fluoride. It is recommended that water be fluoridated in the target range of 0.6 to 1.1mg/L, depending on climate, to balance reduction of dental caries and occurrence of dental fluorosis.’ It is worth looking at toxicology closely. It grew from the studies of Paracelsus in Germany in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. He observed that it is the dose that determines the toxicity of any substance. In other words, depending on

its size a dose can be harmless, therapeutic or poisonous. Since the 1930s the therapeutic dose of fluoride in water has been known to be one part per million (1 ppm) and allowing for ingestion of fluoride from all possible sources it poses no health risk. To argue that fluoride is a medicine because it is therapeutic is fallacious. Many things are therapeutic without being medicines. A good night’s sleep, massage therapy and regular exercise are some examples of therapies which have nothing to do with medicine. Fluoride is the thirteenth

most common element on earth. In 2006, the NHMRC, Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing and New Zealand Ministry of Health included fluoride as a nutrient in the Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand including Recommended Dietary Intakes. A fuller response to the ‘Freedom of Choice’ article can be found at www.fluoridenow. com.au. It is inevitable, however, that while there are concerns amongst a minority of the community (a three year random survey of 10,000 people in NSW and published in 2007

let had read my letter properly before writing their replies they might have noticed that I did not refer to Belongil residents as ‘whingeing millionaires’, nor have I ever done so. I did suggest that they were in danger of being seen that way if they couldn’t come up with anything more constructive than stupid press releases, and Mr Tyson doesn’t help their cause when all he can suggest is ‘Council should do something’. Very constructive. Mr Gilet believes that Council’s rock wall at the swimming pool is the main, or even only, cause of erosion at Belongil, although he has not produced any evidence to support that view. In an earlier letter (June 16) he suggested that I should observe the current carrying sand to the northwest being diverted by Council’s rock works then turning back to the beach 150200 metres past First Sun. I have observed this, Mr Gilet, but why you wanted me to is the question, since it destroys your own argument – if the sand is being returned to the beach system 200m past First Sun, then it is available to restore the beach at Belongil, and the rock wall is only affecting the beach for 200m or so, as the Mayor and the Draft Coastal zone Management Plan suggest. Mr Gilet also says the beach nourishment scheme was rightfully rejected by Council because of the expense and because ‘it only dealt with symptoms and not the cause’. The causes of longterm erosion in the Byron embayment are the diversion of sand out to sea at Cape Byron, the movement of some of the sand that does come around Cape Byron across the bay to rejoin the beach north of Belongil, and rising sea levels. There is nothing that Council can do about any of these causes, so it is only the symptom, eroding beaches, that Council can attempt to deal with. Whatever the effect of the rock wall at the swimming pool, it is insignificant compared to the causes above. Mr Gilet says there are ‘poswww.echo.net.au

Keeping workers busy Having lived in the Byron Shire for many years now, I have noticed the regularity with which Council workers repair our potholed streets. Turning up with shovel in hand and a truck loaded with bitumen to throw into the holes. Sometimes tramping them in with their boots or leaving it raised up for the traffic to smooth them over. As a result we end up with lumps and bumps which either stay that way or soon turn into craters again with the constant flow of traffic digging the holes out once again. Not to mention the joy of having tar splattered all over your car every few weeks! The crest at the top of Rajah Road just up from the roundabout in Ocean Shores is a prime example of their handiwork. Nothing smooth about it, just lumps and bumps left behind to soon turn back into holes once again. Why does this happen? Well, I have never seen the council workers actually cleaning out the pot-holes properly and then compacting the bitumen with a whacker plate, a common council tool. This of course would result in a much longer time before repairs were need-

ed again and a much smoother road surface. Being a tradesperson for many years, I’ve always adhered to the motto of ‘Do it once, do it right, sleep at night.’ But I suppose on one level you have to admire the Council, they certainly are assisting in providing constant employment for many in these hard financial times.

Casino capitalism Recent letters have characterised Byron Shire Council as participating in casino capitalism. They are absolutely correct. Here’s why. In addition to magical CDOs, much of our money was used by Council to purchase so-called Guaranteed Capital Structured Products. These all work the same way. Instead of making an investment, the principal amount is set aside, while the amount of normal anticipated interest (say five per cent) over the term of the note (say four years) is used to speculate on a specified outcome (such as the stock market here, or in Japan, or the price of a commodity). Once the bet is lost, the entire amount wagered (in our example, $200,000 per $1 million) is gone forever. Had Council invested, and not speculated, there would still be some value left. For example, the Australian stock market went down by 50 per cent, and then rose by about continued on page 15

Similarities and differences in the streets of Phnom Penh Hans Lovejoy

Nothing says ‘school’s out’ like getting your shoes polished in Cambodia by an eight year old kid at noon on a Wednesday for 40 cents. Today in Phnom Penh was spent, like many others so far, fending off over-enthusiastic tuk tuk drivers after gringo fare. What’s wrong with walking I say, and besides, it’s a fairly small city. It occurs to me as I tread the dust and stench that, like our own culture, if you look hard enough you see the same patterns. The same type of restaurant next to the same type of mechanical repair shop next to the same laundrette, dentist, mobile phone outlet. Even the colourful stinky markets look similar to the one I saw three blocks back. And the people! There are so many young people, day and night, all hanging out, eating, talking, laughing, riding motos, cooking, selling, just sitting there, doing nothing. It reminds me what is vital about being alive. Our culture has too much wealth, greed

and regulations. Without challenges, societies become uninteresting and irrelevent. Nothing necessitates something and with something you invest it to make more. The simplicity, optimism and joy that beams from their faces thankfully gives me the perspective I have been yearning for. A rubbish pile is outside a Buddhist monastery has been there for the last five days but today there is a garbage truck onto the job. Garbage collection is apparently tied into electricity accounts in Phnom Penh so if you don’t pay the bill – which is comparatively much higher than here – you will literally choke under your own refuse. The city has no US fast food chains to speak of, except two KFCs, and why there isn’t –I am told by the founding editor of the Phnom Penh Post – is probably due to a supply issue and laws and regulations which make it prohibitive.

not unusual for a reptile of the press, but after 17 years of running the capital’s first and most popular English daily newspaper, his comments about the state of politics and Cambodia’s future seem underwhelmed. ‘I don’t have a crystal ball’, his Massachusetts accent drawls, and he seems to be distracted as I struggle to ask something

relevant in the limited time we have. ‘You have fifteen minutes and the clock has started’, he says within the first minute of my arrival. In the hope of cajoling him into speaking about the highs and lows of publishing a newspaper in an environment where journalists have

There is not much more that can be extracted and to be honest it’s not the best interview I have ever done, but interesting nonetheless. ‘They [former Khmer Rouge leaders] have said in the tribunals that they were trying to do the best for the country.’ He sighs again and I get the impression it’s not so much my presence but the many grinding years of Cambodian life that has resulted in his lack of enthusiasm. ‘The current king is nothing but a figurehead and is not influential in the politics of the nation, unlike the former king,’ he says when I ask. On closing I hand him a copy of the Tweed Shire Echo and his attention sharpens a little. ‘First thing I look at is the ads,’ he says dryly, ‘to see if the paper is making a dollar.’ Outside the decrepit 1800s French colonial architecture lines the streets as more rubbish piles up near the King’s palace. It’s low tourist season as I shuffle past a pig on a spit, and it’s obvious this place relies heavily on the influx, as does Byron, for their meal ticket.

After Pol Pot, a French educated Marxist, took control in 1975, he reset the year to zero and made everybody work on farms and brutally and systematically killed within every demographic in the society. Eventually he started killing within his own heirarchy due to suspicion and paranoia. When the Vietnamese invaded in 1979, there was no country to speak of.

However, Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speculations linked to the Australian share market have led to a total loss of the amount speculated. No matter how high the share market goes from here our loss will not be recouped. Such speculation is the opposite of long-term investing. It was never appropriate for Council to speculate with our money. The fact that they proved to be particularly inept as speculators only adds insult to our injury.

Equally important is the fact that these public schools are well-run, with experienced dedicated staff and a commitment to equity and community engagement.

Truth or fiction? said the crayfish in the café Mary Gardner

‘Hey!’ I burst out when the crayfish rattled my coffee cup with its antennae. ‘So you noticed!’ said the crayfish. ‘It’s about time!’ Damn right! How could I not? I thought that creature, about 200 mm in length, was long dead and drying nicely on the patio table. Now it’s animated, with opinions over breakfast in the sunshine? ‘Why, what’s this?’ I said. No response. Why not? But wait, why am I expecting one? My endless love of fantasy and science fiction! Of animals that talk. Of restaurants at the very ends of the universe. Of a planet where humans evolved as neuters, evoking a gender in each other only during the mating period. Of travel, going leagues under the ocean or off to the moon. But that travel has actually happened. Bathyscaphs and rockets. The woman on the radio was Megan McArthur, talking of her workaday life as an astronaut. Her alternate career option is maneuvering craft through the deep sea. Sometimes, science fiction has this way of becoming fact. Writers seem to be telling the story ahead of reality. What with theories and testing theories – how is the kind of storytelling done as science different? Picking fruit from the Tree of Life. Talking with Rainbow Snakes. Humberto Maturana, the Chilean biologist studies the influence of our senses on how we create knowledge. He

says ‘languaging’ is our creative power. Would singing up country be a similar human capacity? Maturana also examines the biology of human language. He observes how we exist and evolve in language. We use it, with its truth and lies, to manage our human relations. He describes conversations as a consensual way of coordinating human behaviour. A mother murmurs and her baby coos. A lover suggests and another agrees. A drunk yells and another punches him. A worker explains and others begin building. A great storyteller inspires and many people make changes in their lives. ‘Hello there,’ I try once more with the crayfish. Still no response. Funny but doesn’t it always sting a bit when we’re shut out of some conversation? There must be something I don’t know about talking with crayfish. Maybe I need practice.

Science fiction storytellers practice their language, imagining the myriad of details which make their tales so vivid. Great practitioners present evidence so logical that their audiences can have a sure sense of what is and isn’t possible. Science storytellers also practice, marshalling the many details which finally create a world of understanding. Just as in fiction, there are rules by which the evidence is assembled. Often, the result is as startling or even more so. Both types of storytellers test their tales on us. Science fiction authors get around through various media very well. We are now quite sophisticated about handling diverse topics. Collectively, we have a good grasp of the logistics of galactic battles as well the biology of gigantic worms which secrete mind expanding spices. We can compare different fantasy worlds and discuss future trends in different parts of the genre.

By contrast, science workers don’t get around as much. This means we get much less practice hearing and talking about science. We are not that sure chatting about black holes, hot vents or the life cycle of parasitic barnacles. We aren’t always confident enough to compare different stories: look how long we’ve been hoodwinked about climate change and tobacco use by industry funded misinformation. Future trends are mysterious topics of nightmares. Replace my heart valve with one from a pig? But that is changing. The internet helps brings us what a well established library in a large city would – and more. Science documentaries fill a shelf at the DVD shop. On top of all that, round the world and starting this Wednesday, August 26, in Byron Bay science workers are coming out to talk in local cafés. The Café Scientifique movement is the inspiration. In 1998 at Leeds, UK, Duncan

Dallas invited scientists into his corner café for informal discussions with his neighbours. After a short opening talk, the question and answer session started. These evenings became enormously popular. Neighbours got more savvy with science and scientists got a bit street smart. Nowadays, there are almost fifty Cafes in the UK and more throughout Europe, Canada, United States and New Zealand. In Australia, there is a Café in Canberra and also in Melbourne. Topics to date were galaxies, Darwinism, Indigenous prehistory, climate change and psychiatric illness. The Byron Café Scientifique begins with Mark Graham, an ecologist. I took the plunge and invited him here from Coffs Harbour to talk about koalas in the Northern Rivers. He says his grandfather was a member of the crews that cut down the Big Scrub. Now he and his father are restoring some of the very same land. Wouldn’t you like to know how he got started with koalas? What does he say it’s like for koalas here compared to Coffs Harbour? What is the science – and fiction – about our Australian icon? And don’t you have a question you always wished you could put to someone like Mark? Come join Mark and I. Truth or fiction but didn’t that crayfish say ‘It’s about time?’ ■ Mark Graham and NSW Koalas: Wednesday, August 26, 6.30pm for 7pm at the Bohemia Café, Byron Bay (opposite Woolies). Moderator Mary Gardner, gold coin donation.

Hunters on the rampage A Bill that would allow hunting in national parks will be debated in State Parliament next month. Shooters Party legislation has already given hunters access to feral animals in two million hectares of NSW State forests since 2002. Now they want to expand ‘recreational’ hunting by introducing the Game and Feral Animal Control Amendment Bill. Mark Byrne, EDO Northern Rivers Education Officer, says the new Bill expands this right to hunt into national parks and allows the hunting of some native animals that are currently protected, including kangaroos, 12 species of birds and 11 species of ducks. Because the government needs the two Shooters Party votes to get its agenda through the Upper House, conservationists say the hunters are poised to overturn years of work devoted to protecting the fauna of NSW. The new bill includes measures for ‘conservation hunting’ and setting up hunting reserves on private land. A public meeting to discuss the hunting bill will be held on Wednesday, August 26, at the Red Dove Hall, corner of Keen and Woodlark Streets, Lismore, from 6 pm sharp to 8 pm. Speakers are Dr Carol Booth, Policy Officer for the Invasive Species Council, Shadow Minister for the Environment, Catherine Cusack, Greens MLC Ian Cohen and former NSW MLC Richard Jones. Representatives of the Shooters Party and the Game Council of NSW were invited but declined to attend.

Thinking of developing land? Are you aware of the clearing controls that apply to native vegetation in NSW? Development applications that involve clearing of native vegetation often require consent under both the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Native Vegetation Act 2003.

--/+ **).

Under the Native Vegetation Act 2003 it is an offence to clear native vegetation except in accordance with development consent granted under the Act or a Property Vegetation Plan. Native vegetation is a major component of biodiversity and plays an important role in protecting land from soil erosion and salinity, waterways from degradation and provides vital habitat for our native fauna. High Resolution imagery is used to monitor land clearing and changes in the extent of native vegetation.

GIVING TAKING WOODSTOCK Taking Woodstock opens at Dendy Byron Bay on Thursday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story of a middle-aged gay man challenging bigotry, intolerance and the rural peace of upstate New York residents for the legal rights to sing, dance and make love not war. We have a prize pack which includes a book: A True Story of a Riot, a Concert, and a Life by Elliot Tiber (about Elliotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in helping to bring the Woodstock festival to the Yasgur Farm in Bethel New York), plus the soundtrack CD, plus a double pass to come and see the film. Email gigs@echo.net. au with subject header â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Woodstock Woodstockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

When Gough Whitlam faced his very public sacking back in 1975 he made an impromptu address and uttered a phrase that has become part of the Australian psyche... â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well may we say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;God save the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, because nothing will save the Governor-Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Topology (one of this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most creative instrumental groups) takes this famous phrase and many others and presents the composition Big Decisions, a musical portrait of the players of the Dismissal. The show is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Corridors of Power: Lying, Cheating, Stealingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and is a series of original compositions that incorporate the voices of famous politicians such as Gough Whitlam, Paul Keating and Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Robert Davidson is the band leader and is currently undertaking research into the deep links between language and music, he is a lecturer in composition at the University of Queensland. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have always been interested in the story telling aspect of politics, and the parliament itself is quite theatrical! When I was 10, I was convinced I was going to be a political cartoonist, and I have come around to that, and pointing out that now I am now in my forties, I am in a way a cartoonist, but with music.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When choosing fragments of text to use, Davidson alters very little of the speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The phrases are quite rhythmic and often when they

On Top of the Whitlam Years (politicians) speak in public they become more musical, like Martin Luther King, for instance, when he says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have a dreamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; he almost sings.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It is this musicality of speech that has Davidson the most fascinated. He believes that there is more than the first reading in what someone says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The other meaning is the musical and emotional meaning, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorable part of it is because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical. I find the links between speaking and singing and music and language and where they came from and what they do amazing. There are various

ways you can map music, you can reflect the speaker and their reaction or your own or try and depict a reaction belonging to the time, so many different ways you can connect rather like a parody. Pointing out the human foibles is how I create audio cartoons.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Davidson recently worked with Peter Singer, Margaret Mead, and David Williamson creating a voice portrait themed around human nature. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the concept of his work as a vocal portrait that he finds most fascinating. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I find a phrase that reflects the speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality and something that characterises

their own musical style that is quite characteristic of them. Gough has a particular rhythm. He almost speaks in a key: B flat.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Topology have been composing and presenting their work for ten years, using the spoken work and instrumental composition to create pictures of a time, rather than using footage. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have used video but I prefer to move back to audio because when there is video people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay enough attention to the audio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the audio can be overlooked â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people can then be focused on the nature of the voice.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I start by transcirbing what has been said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not absolutely accurate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perceived, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite intuitive, afterwards Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go this is what I was thinking, but I tend to really rely on intuition, what chord am I hearing here? Perception is what counts.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Topology features Robert Davidson on bass, Bernard Hoey on viola, John Babbage on sax, Christa Powell on violin and Kylie Davidson on piano. They play the Byron Community Centre on Friday. Tickets are $20/22 and can be booked on 6685 6807. Show starts at 7.30pm.

Full of Juice After a year of chasing futile dreams on a Russian salmon farm, Bluejuice have returned with a new single, a new album, and a modest bag of salmon. Already added to Triple J rotation, Broken Leg, the first single from their upcoming sophomore record is a blustering bit of anthemic pop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an uptempo ode to being a limping miseryguts. Never before have 80s-themed existential crises inspired such a need to dance or sing so joyously (alright, maybe Jessieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Girl). In keeping with their reputation for brilliant clips, the filming of the video for Broken Leg saw pulled muscles, purple tracksuits and a masterful exhibition of skip-roping prowess as team bluejuice trained intensively for months in the leadup to their quest for the title of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;World Skipping Championsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Introducing Spiridon Savvas (Mr Invisible) and Arthur Pennington (Venom), the hottest skip-ropers on the planet.

There are times when business, council and artists can work together and achieve a glorious outcome. The Cube is one such endeavour. The Cube is based on an original idea by Victoria Edgar and is sponsored by Mark Cochrane Real Estate and Santos and supported by the Byron Shire Council. The mix of arts and business allows sculptural artists to interact with the community on a more intimate level. EAST would like to hear from 3D artists who are wishing to participate.

ALDO LIQUID WED

Wednesdays at LiQUiD Liquidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mid-week sensation, 21-year-old ALDO Arechar is consistent with Liquidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music policy committing to quality and innovation. Aldo is studying a degree in audio engineering and music production at Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SAE. Originally from Mexico, Aldo started playing piano at nine, took to the drums as a teenager, joined several bands and played from classic to punk. At 15, Aldo programmed all his favourite drum beats onto a sequencer and has since been glued to the computer composing, mixing and producing. Aldoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project Basic Nova has had its first EP released on Iboga Mexico. Q: What is your weekly Wednesday about? A: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The main theme is minimal techno music, but the night will start with a DJ set from Marz Brazilian, then Mr Sandy Sitlani from Dubai, then the decks are going to pass to DJ Navin from India and finally I will be playing my live set and a hypnotic techno set to finish the night with energy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q: Do you still listen to acoustic music? A: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I listen to all kinds of music; each genre has its own passion, background and feel.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Fish Tales At Community Printmakers Murwillumbah, Michael Glasson takes images of fish as metaphor for his exploration of the human condition. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine lined, evocative work. And alongside the prints in the gallery are the Glassonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collograph plates, themselves works of art. In collograph the artist begins with a thick cardboard base, sometimes cutting away its outer surface but most often adding glueddown detail. Glassonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work has a sense of movement and closely observed detail, impressive in any artist but especially so because Glasson has limited sight. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you imagine the circle of a clock, I can only see the number 2.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; His artistic vision and skill, however, are unquestionable.

lines such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yah, well get those guys outta there!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; with delirious integrity. The Girl, Baroness (Sienna Miller), is initially in cahoots with the villains, but her sad back story explains why and, in the washup, she joins the Joes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she also has lovely jugs and an Emma Peel leather wardrobe that sets them off very nicely, thank you. I thought I caught a glimpse of Brendan Fraser in the mix too, when the Joes were doing their training, but he had no further involvement in the fun and games, which was a pity, as he is a most affable muttonhead â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more prominent in the inevitable sequels. As hinted at by Quaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goofiness, it is all tongue in cheek â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the closing shot is of the Joes, seven abreast, walking in slo-mo towards the camera as one of them says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we look great.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; More power to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em, I say. ~ John Campbell

Inglorious Basterds Is a puzzlement: why do people clap at the end of a movie? As none of the participants was present, I assume that the bloke who felt compelled to applaud did so to publicly align himself with the faction of the enfant terrible director (or auteur, as they say) who refuses to grow up, Quentin Tarantino. There is presently no filmmaker quite so enslaved by the need to stamp his imprimatur on a work and, though not one of the dribbling droogs who FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED

idolise him, I have to concede that this is his best effort yet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not great â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are too many irritating wanks for my liking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it does suggest that if Tarantino ever gets his ego under control heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll create something truly memorable. Brad Pitt, with an outrageous southern drawl, heads a gang of vigilantes whose mission is to brutally kill as many Nazis as they can. They learn that Hitler and his top brass will attend the premiere of a propaganda feature in Paris and plan to take them out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as does the cinema owner, a Jewess whose family has been massacred as part of the Reichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final Solution. Tarantino has divided his story into chapters, and the first â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an SS officer (Cristoph Waltz, who steals the show) at the table of a cowherd whom he is grilling with matey sang-froid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is bold for its length and stillness, but vice-like in its tension. The same killing pressure is built when Waltz interviews the cinema owner in a restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you will never see anybody eat a slice of strudel with such terrifying intent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and again in a beer cellar where the identity of one of the Basterds is being questioned. Ultimately, however, Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for the violence that his acolytes find so chic is given reign, with scalpings and a head being smashed by a baseball bat added to the usual stabbings and shootings. There are also indulgences that are plain silly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Nazi big wig enters the theatre and, like a smart arsed kid, Tarantino has scrawled on the screen â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Martin Bormannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, with an arrow pointing to him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has he not heard about cutting off oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose to spite oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face? Then again, maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; post modernism is the dangdest thang. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surreal and occasionally undergraduate in its lairising, with a whiff of the American boy wanting to impress Euro cinephiles, and those connoisseurs who clap at the movies. ~ John Campbell

The tendency in these mega heroics has lately been for the narrative to become labyrinthine in its complexity (I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much of a clue about what was going on in Watchmen), as though the creators, by inventing a detailed mythology for their characters, believe that the punter will think he G.I.

Thankfully, for their less than gung-ho this movie is more simplistic, response to 9/11.

Drag Me To Hell This film is directed by Sam Raimi (Spiderman & The Evil Dead). Raimi is at the height of his powers with this very funny, very gross horror romp. Taking a pretty young blonde and putting her up against the lethal force of an old gypsy womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curse, he delivers a series of gaudy set pieces full of demons, gothic houses and geysers of putrified bodily fluids. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is an ambitious L.A. loan officer and life is good until a mysterious Mrs. Ganush arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks, and get a leg up on a promotion? Christine chooses the latter, In retaliation, the old woman

Television Guide 1. Emma Thompson conceals her considerable beauty behind prosthetic warts and moles to play Nanny McPhee (Ten, Friday 8.30pm), but it is arguable whether the histrionic sacrifice is worth it. 2. Nineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new high definition channel calls itself Go! One wonders what sort of demographic they are chasing by screening the seriously uncool Police Academy on Sunday night (10.30pm). 3. Will Ferrell is a very funny man, but unfortunately he has a penchant for films about incomprehensible North American sports. That said, Blades of Glory (NBN, Tuesday 9.30pm) is worth a few chuckles.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Pooh, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what I like best â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey WAS a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you were, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it was called...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; (A.A Milne) Eating honey is indeed a very good thing to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and while various people, professional and otherwise, dispute the various health-giving benefits the substance may possess, let us go on eating it with impunity. Throughout the ages it was the principal sweetener of foods, supplanted eventually by refined sugar made from sugar cane or sugar beets; it was also used (for about 2,700 years) to treat ailments. It might be the placebo effect or the fact it tastes so delicious, but gargling with warmed honey and lemon is still one of the best sore-throat cures for me. To think about the process whereby bees make honey fills me with awe. The worker bees collect nectar from flowers and bring it back to the hive, where they use their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;honey stomachsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to ingest and regurgitate it several times, provoking transformations in its sugars. The youngest bees roll it over their tongues, breathing across it to evaporate some of its water content and thereby concentrate it. Glandular secretions contribute to the changes in the liquid, and then itt is transferred to the storage ccells ll of o the t honeycomb whose w hos high temperatures will

Or stir it through sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk yoghurt, add a touch of mustard, olive oil and vinegar and jazz up baby beets, whole garlic cloves and sweet potato wedges you have roasted. Simmering carrots with honey and butter is heavenly; dollop in honey toward the end of a slowly cooking Moroccan-style lamb casserole. Or make the following cake, served warm or cold, with thick cream :

WHOLEMEAL APPLE AND HONEY SYRUP CAKE

continue the concentration. Voila! The nectar has become honey, and all that breathing and fanning of tiny wings to enhance evaporation means it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even ferment. The various flavours of honey are dependent on the flowers whose nectar is plundered â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and even then may be newly created by the blending of floral sources. I remember my first taste of Leatherwood honey as a child: I found it, as many do, quite confronting. Sadly this prized Tasmanian honey has become an endangered species due to the logging and burning of old growth forests. (The most prolific flowering Leatherwood trees are aged between 175

The girls at Byron Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Ginger have recently acquired Dragonfly in Bangalow, which they will transform into another Red Ginger. They hope to be up and running there by early October; by all reports, Bangalow residents are thrilled with the news that Leslie and Marina will be bringing their inimitably stylish touch in Asian foods and homewares to the town. There are still some places left for the fabulous beer degustation dinner at the Byron Beach Cafe this Friday August 28. Entitled the Coopers Ale Culinary Cruiser, it will feature a 7-course menu, each course matching a different beer. The menu itself, created by head chef Nathaniel Marshall, utilises dark, pale and sparkling ales as well as stout and lager amongst its ingredients.

and 210 years old.) Perhaps my most primitive enjoyment of honey is when it is glooped onto a hot buttered crumpet: teeth submerge into layers and pockets of crunchy, moist, sweet lusciousness leaving your chin shiny. But that is really only the beginning. Chicken is glorious baked, grilled or barbecued after an overnight marinade in honey, chicken broth, lime juice and zest, finely chopped chillis and fresh coriander. Blended with seeded mustard, extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar, honey transforms a platter of char-grilled vegetables like asparagus, red capsicum, fennel, eggplant and zucchini.

2 apples, peeled and chopped 1 cup honey 2/3 cup water 3 eggs 100 gr. caster sugar 100 gr. wholemeal plain flour 75 gr. SR flour 3 tspns baking powder 1/4 tspn nutmeg 150 gr. melted butter Preheat oven to 190Ë&#x161;C and grease a spring-form pan. Simmer together apple, honey and water until tender. Cool and drain apple, reserving syrup. Whisk eggs and sugar until thick and creamy then fold in sifted dry ingredients. Stir in apple and melted butter and pour into tin. Bake 40 mins or until skewer comes out clean. Cool in tin 10 mins before turning out on a rack. Heat reserved syrup and prick cake all over with skewer before pouring the syrup on top until it is all absorbed. Divine.

Boston Bay in South Australia is home of the renowned Kinkawooka Mussels. Rapidly establishing a formidable reputation, they are expected to be better than ever this season due to unique farming practices and constant striving toward excellence by the company. More exciting is the news of the arrival to market of a new mussel. Named Petit Bouchot, it is a reproduction of the classic French-style mussel and is regarded as the hallmark in mussels, deriving originally from the Brittany region in South Western France. These are small but intensely flavoured mussels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; described by leading Australian chefs like Neil Perry and Cheong Liew as incredible. The Petit Bouchot will only be available in limited quantity for 8 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10 weeks and can be found in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better restaurants until about October. Meanwhile, the rest of the new seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop at Kinkawooka is showing signs of being in prime condition until well into the new year due to near-perfect growing conditions. Soft and sweet are the characteristics of these mussels, which are also available â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pot-readyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from good seafood outlets nationally.

ARIES: With Mars your ruler in the sign of home and heritage, there’s likely to be plenty of vivid activity on the family front. Be aware that this week will hand you back whatever you present it with, whether that’s understanding cooperation or an antagonistic attitude… TAURUS: If others are picky and hard to please this week, just do your best then let it rest – there’s no shortage of progressive, constructive stuff to do. Though you may have to subdue certain clamoring personalities with poise and practicality first. GEMINI: If you’re ever going to give that unhealthy fantasy, stale relationship or bad habit the flick, this week gives you a leg up. Fancy just a few minor, less radical improvements? Perfect for that too – and for morphing grand plans into something more petite and achievable. CANCER: This week Mars, that bold, confident, sassy planet of sexy energy sashays into Crabville with a cosmic vitamin English chess has gone through some difficult times since the heady days of the 1980s when England could claim to be the second ranking chess nation in the word behind the Soviet Union.

to bring you more joy than people. But while the general public may be grumpy, this is a wildly auspicious period for makeovers: revamping your house, garden, office, wardrobe, finances, hairdo, career or relationship. SCORPIO: This is the week ancient Romans celebrated Volcanalia, thunderbolts from heaven. Here on earth something could hit you like a bolt from the blue: unexpected news, a huge realization, a sudden epiphany… Or maybe just something falling off a shelf, so watch your step. SAGITTARIUS: Actions usually speak louder than words, but should this week’s verbals start hitting the higher registers, gracious restraint’s your best bet. The present star scenario’s most supportive for focusing on the practical, day to day steps necessary for putting new plans into practise. CAPRICORN: The answers you’re looking for become

Reuben Donati: riding to road to somewhere Riding a bike for up to 600km a week is not everyone’s idea of a stroll in the park, but for Reuben Donati it is the preparation he needs for the winter season of cycling. During the road season which happens over the cooler months, Reuben will sometimes cycle for 6 hours to get himself ready for the standard championship distance of 165km. Having completed his first 160km+ race about this time last year, Rueben says that many competitive cyclists do much more. ’The 20 hours or so a week I spend on a bike is considerably less than many, if not most of the elite guys I race against,’ he said before heading off to the Queensland Championships held over the weekend. Reuben usually races once every weekend and sometimes twice in either a 65-80km race or in a criterium (circuit race), which can last up to 1 hour. Reuben is in his second year of a bachelor of economics at the University of QLD but would like to go pro as well. ‘To race in the Olympics is not really a goal of mine. As far as

land Championships. ‘I started riding about four years ago with the North Coast Academy of sport. That came about through a talent identification day they had. I was with them for about a year before I decided to continue by myself. I started racing more regularly and progressed through the grades. I won my first A grade road race about 3 years ago when I was 16. I’ve been riding more seriously over the past two years. Last year was my first year racing the Queensland State Open races and I had many podium results. As a first year U/23 rider, I was 3rd in the Queensland state championships last year. This year I’ve again been on the podium in many Queensland opens and I won the Queensland Metropolitan championships in the U/23 Category and was 3rd Overall.’ Rueben says the competition is pretty tough in the Open races, the field usually includes many riders from the big Australian domestic teams who are on professional contracts.

says that great Chris and Uki at Byron Bay Bicycles are always a great help getting his bike ready to go for the big races. It is all go, go go for the few months. ‘ I’ve got a couple of big races remaining this season. The Queensland state championships were on last weekend. The Grafton to Inverell – recognised as the biggest one-day race in Australia – is on in early September and I will also be competing in the Australian Championships in January next year. Between now and the end of next year I’ll be looking at team options for next year. I’ve already received some promising offers’.

Julie helps a Solomon Islands refuge

Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market Feast!

Victoria Cosford

Jot down a diary note: Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market Feast is on Sunday, September 13 at 1pm. The Burringbar School of Arts Hall will hold the feast and all money raised will assist the hall committee to pay some of the $4,500 insurance fee in November. The committee hopes to combine the country atmosphere of the beautifully renovated heritage listed hall with great local food. The generous stall holders from the New Brighton Farmers Market and Byron/Bangalow Farmers Market will donate produce to get this feast started. Most of the food will be from a 50km radius and if the lunch proves to be a success then these feasts will be held on a regular basis in different locations. Two of the committee members are cheesemakers from Tweed Valley Whey Farmhouse Cheeses. They will be providing cheeses and Yalumba wines will be sampling from their range and rep Richard â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Frostyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Frost will be matching wines with the platters of food brought out during the lunch. There will also be wine and local boutique beer available to

What started out as a holiday for local woman Kate de Marco has gone on to change a lot of lives. Visiting the Solomon Islands, she stumbled on a refuge in the capital Honiara; so affecting was the experience that upon her return to Australia she mustered together a group of nine women to go back and help. Lennox Head-based Julie Allen (pictured with some Solomon Is friends) is part of that group and spoke to The Echo about both the aims of the group and the refuge itself. Nothing had prepared her for the poverty and squalor of Honiara (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like Bali!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;) nor for the condition of these illiterate women, most of them victims of rape or some other form of abuse. The refuge, though large, is without power, has a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shantyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for a kitchen and is rotting away because of white ants. Julie has started up an organisation called WACCI (Women and Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Care Initiative) and will be going back there in October. Despite her job as school counsellor at the Shearwater Steiner School, the WACCI work has â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;been a dream since I was a teenagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so much so that she is using it as a blueprint for the provision of refuges back here in Australia,

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wherever the need is.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She and the team of other women hope to have a new refuge built at Honiara next year to replace the existing one; meanwhile Octoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip will be in order to set up workshop training sessions with the sisters there on dealing with trauma; clear the surrounding swamplands (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;malarial breeding groundsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;); create gardens and supply the refuge with medication, baby food and other essentials. They work directly with the refuge and someone known as Sister Doreen (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a powerhouse of a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, said Julie) with no bureaucratic intervention at all, although this indifference clearly works in the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fa-

Right: Jack, Mia, Lily, Kristy and Lucy enjoy the first of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Friday Nights @ the YACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with some of their sidewalk chalk art under the front awning. Friday nights 6-10pm the Youth Activities Centre at 1 Gilmore Crescent, Byron Bay, offers a chill zone for 12-17 year olds with games, movies and refreshments. Below: Victoria Taylor, Brisbane based actress, jazz chanteuse and burlesque queen inspired 80 or more budding sketchers at Dr Sketchys at the Buddha Bar last Tuesday. Next month the good doctor will be presenting Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most infamous Burlesquer Lola the Vamp.

vour and, according to Julie, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so desperate to have help there: no one will stand in our way.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Julie has only recently started spreading the news of the refuge and WACCI but already has been struck by the support from this region. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offers of help have been amazingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Even a packet of Panadol will alleviate someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suffering for several days.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; All donations are gratefully accepted (save childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, which they purchase over there): educational, toys, baby formula, medical supplies and nappies, sanitary napkins, bras and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even, apparently, second-hand football

boots. And of course money. Given the absence of power in the refuge the organisation is hoping to have solar panels installed at some point, and have been quoted around $2000. Direct deposits and any donation may be made by contacting Julie for details on 0401 338 145 or emailing her at jules_jay05@yahoo.com.au. Further information on WACCI as well as a photo gallery are available on their website wacci.com

To the older gentleman who stole a wallet at a garage sale on the weekend, it contained the only money possessed by a young man recovering from a recent accident. Hopefully conscience and the fact that three people at the garage sale can identify you will prevail. The money can be returned to

It probably applies to all the phone companies, but it was a Telstra bill that Backlash received. From next month you cannot pay the notorious gouger by cheque or cash or card without incurring a fee. Unless you pay through their choice of online banking system youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be charged $2.20. A fee for paying a bill! Is that even legal? The Backlash reaction was promptly to cancel the phone account in question. Has anyone else felt or done the same? â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Still on phones, one reader suggests telemarketers will soon be targeting mobiles. Scammers already rip people off through â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;premiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; services (check out www.accc.gov.au for examples), so it may be wise to list your mobile with www.donotcall. gov.au â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and your landline too, if you still have one after Telstraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vicious â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pay-to-payâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan.

The recent Zine Age Riot zine expo at Sea Cell Gallery in the Byron Arts and Indie Estate attracted hundreds. Organiser Craig Rochfort is pictured with his son Rusty whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Art is Fake, 1976â&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Craig is a prolific producer of these highly collectable small-run art pieces, which seem more like a Dali landscape than a magazine. For more on this fascinating genre check Rochfortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site http://teeluxe.com.au. Photo Jeff (More Spleen than Zine) Dawson

Missing books are the bane of school libraries. English teacher Kelly Twyford at Mullum High has come up with a solution: not only is there an amnesty on returns until October 2, but every book returned puts you in a draw to win stuff worth $100 from Bi-Rite, $50 from Surf Shop or five chocolate vouchers (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vouchers to redeem for chocolate, not vouchers made of chocolate, unless the book youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve failed to return is Willy Wonka). Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all check our shelves and cupboards for overlooked borrowings so that the next generation can also experience the joy of reading.

Kathleen of Indooroopilly thanks the people of Byron Bay, who on Saturday, August 15, saved her darling Maltese puppy Stella, who slipped her lead while being walked. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A lovely young lady found her and initially took her to the local police station, but not wanting to leave her in a cage took her home until we came to find her.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kathleen is so touched with everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kindness (including the police for putting her in touch with Stellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saviour) that she is making a $100 donation to the local animal welfare shelter. Hey, go walkabout more often, Stella!
